POPSThe Dangers of Playing Spirit of the Glass In the end, refraining from going to other channels to get assurances about the future is the ultimate act of faith. It is an indicator that though problems and trials crop up, we truly trust that the LORD will steer the situation in our favor somehow. As Psalm 37:23-24 states, “If the LORD delights in a man’s way, he makes his steps firm; though he stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand.”

POPSA review of the board game Mouse Trap this was funny to me. I guess because I'm a rambling writer myself. I'm buying this game for a friend this year. She's 45. I guess that's old enough? I wouldn't want her to choke on the little meeses.

POPSClimate Change Talks-Is it really all about money? Too bad the climate change talks aren't about making a serious improvement on the environment. Instead it is all about money. Problem with wealthy nations contributing money to poor nations is that money is too easily embezzled or redirected into other "programs" i.e. defense.

POPSThe Killer Tomatoes Have Returned Tomato plants -- as well as other veggie plants -- can trap small insects in those sticky hairs, and (I'm imagining, because the story doesn't say) holds them captive until they die. Then the plant can absorb the nutrients the insects give off as the bugs decay. When the insect is just a shell, it falls to the soil. I will never underestimate my vegetables again. I think they're watching me.

POPSAppalachian Mountains Rock Ice Age, 460 Million Years Ago
By the time humans first walked their slopes, the Appalachian mountains had worn down from prehistoric peaks over 16,000 ft (5,000 m) high to 6,500 ft (2,000 m) today. Today, the plant and animal life of the Northern Appalachians is still recovering from the last glacial period, which ended 10,000 years ago. The Southern Appalachians were never buried beneath the great ice-sheets of that frigid time, providing refuge for native species. Often spreading a couple hundred miles wide, the chain's north-south alignment allowed easy migration of animals fleeing the glaciers. Had these mountains been aligned east-west, like the European Alps, they would have presented a barrier to migration, a trap that would have ensured mass extinctions. The Appalachian Mountains are a long system of mountains, stretching from Newfoundland in Canada all the way to Alabama in the southern United States. (the full trail in the United States is 2,174 miles long)

POPSOne telling similarity between the the Wehrmacht and the US Military A very interesting insight into the how effective the US military is at doing the wrong thing, as Fabius Maximus says "From a larger perspective this article shows how the 21st century US military is locked into a historically common trap. No matter how good, it remains harnessed to US elites’ geopolitical thinking " poorly reasoned, emotional (ruled by hubris and fear). Our military apparatus consistently provides professional, smooth execution of bad strategy. We do the wrong thing, but brilliantly." Some clips below but follow the links for the full article.

POPSHollywood Celebrity Johnny Depp Falling Into Angelina's Tourist Trap? Wow, the production of The Tourist is quite the bumpy ride as recently announced director Florian von Donnersmarck and Tom Cruise replacement and Avatar star, Sam Worthington, have both left the production citing creative differences leaving Angelina Jolie all on her own... at least for a brief moment as Variety is now reporting Johnny Depp is in talks to fill in for Worthington and star alongside Jolie in the now director-less thriller.
