POPSFuturistic Excavation However, Weyrich noted, Princeton's system will never replace the experience, contextual knowledge and "soft skills" that conservators and archaeologists bring to the table. "Reconstructing these frescoes is incredibly complex, given the condition of the fragments and the sheer number of fragments," said Weyrich. "The computer takes over the laborious parts of the process while leaving the important, intuitive decisions to the humans." i wonder when this will change as well.

POPS A Bushie biting the dust ! You may ask yourself how can these small countries do it ? Yet Bush still sits ! One reason, "THE PEOPLE" and looking at everyday news of the people (LinkTV/Mosaic) I notice that people from other countries are more involved in politics & what their Gov. does as oppose to the US where it's your favorite news station that cast the vote .

POPSMosaics, mosaics, mosaics... I've got a bit of a thing about mosaics and have done a few clips on the subject before. This site is just packed with amazing stuff and is a must see. I've clipped a few of the more unusual items (catflaps, would you believe?) But the site is well worth a visit.

POPSMost spectacular view in the Solar System Few sights in the solar system are more strikingly beautiful than softly hued Saturn embraced by the shadows of its stately rings. The Cassini Orbiter on its mission in deep space caught this rare occasion of Saturn eclipsing the Sun.

POPSBackyard biodiversity: Make Space for Nature The 2004 Make Space for Nature campaign in Sheffield England inspired people across the nation to enhance their gardens with wildlife-friendly measures. Almost 100,000 pledges were made during the campaign to put out nest boxes, dig ponds, plant trees, and we can only assume this was the tip of the iceberg. Many viewers were already doing all these things. Many more might not have pledged, but might have thought twice before mowing their lawns or going out to annihilate their local slug populations after watching the series.

POPSLeaf veins crack under stress I think they are suggesting that rather than growing out from the stem, the cracks that form during growth are reinforced by the channeling of the hormone auxin from the leaf to the stem.

POPSMOSAIC OF SOLDIERS KILLED 9from Grace) This is a mosaic composed entirely of pictures of the 4000 American dead in Iraq. If you used photographs of the Iraqi civilian dead, you would probably have a full-length portrait of these two bastards.

POPSHouse of Augustus in Rome opens to the public Experts say the frescoes are among the most splendid surviving examples of Roman wall paintings, on a par with those found in the towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Archaeologists believe they may have been painted by an Egyptian. In the large entrance hall, graffiti on one wall is believed to have been left by the builders, who seem to have sketched out geometric designs, possibly for mosaic floors, and left their names. In November last year archaeologists located a grotto deep beneath Augustus's imperial palace that may have been the shrine where ancient Romans worshipped Romulus, the founder of the city according to legend. Octavian, the great-nephew and adopted son of Julius Caesar, took the name Augustus on becoming sole ruler in 27BC after the civil wars that followed Caesar's assassination. His rise ended the Roman Republic and marked the beginning of the Roman Empire. He died in AD14.
