POPSGuantanamo Bay rations detainees’ ice cream portions The report comes after much debate on the feeding of U.S. detainees suspected of terrorism, where under feeding in the past has angered human rights advocates. ‘Until recently the prison camps boasted on their website that they provide the 174 war on terror detainees with 5,500 – 6,000 calories a day’, Rosenberg wrote. But early detainees were said to have been barely given enough food to survive, while others later tried to starve themselves by attempting hunger strikes. The ice cream rationing has now led the journalist to question Guantanamo Bay’s motives, suspecting that it might be an attempt to reduce spending. suspected of terrorism !! will we find out !

POPSTips & techniques for homemade ice cream from Shuna Fish Lydon Lots of excellent technical advice, especially in the notes at the end of the recipe.

Yes, well, this Bay Area kid thinks the reason you don't get it is that the quality has gone downhill over the past few decades. (The chocolate coating didn't used to be "waxy", for one thing. Harrumph.) So if your only experience with It's-Its is since, say, 2000, it will of course be somewhat disappointing.

POPSHow to Choose Anti Cellulite Cream 
"How to Choose Anti Cellulite Cream When you are out buying a cellulite cream, you’ll come across innumerable offers in stores, each outdoing the other. This can make your purchase decision quite tough. At this point, doing a thorough research would be helpful. Here is what you should look for when buying a right anti-cellulite cream. 1) L-Carnitine: This ingredient occurs naturally in the skin and converts the fat into energy. This means it is associated with body metabolism, and is regarded as the important factor for deciding if we burn sufficient calories and fat or not. L-Carnitine also causes reduction of fat storage cells below the skin - and smaller cells can hold less fat. 3) Retinol: This component fortifies and restores the connective tissue.
