POPSRevolutionary materials reflect ancient forms Because crystals and quasicrystals comprise different material classes with differing physical and chemical properties, the observed intermediate structure is striking. "The combination of crystalline and quasicrystalline structural elements will likely lead to novel material properties"

POPSSimple Living Room Decoration Choose a sofa for comfort. Modern pieces can hint at Old World styling through the use of tapestry-type upholstery; antique settees might have cane seats plus carved frames and cushions, or rush seats and a simple, rustic frame. Go with end tables that are elaborately carved or simple, with turned legs and round or square feet.

POPSMemorial Day was Decoration Day, Civil War Remembrance
Memorial Day has become Veterans Day II--usurped to cover-up this real Great War, which the MSM does not discuss, because of its implications. (Could the present U.S. government be one of a Union by force, a tyranny, an empire?) Now you only hear alot of talk, and outright lies, about how all soldiers in all wars "fought for our freedom". Pardon me for being intellectually honest--no they all did not! The truth is that since the Civil War, Americans have not been fighting to defend America's freedom but an empirical agenda toward global Democracy. Pat Buchanan is about to complete a new book about WWII called the Unnecessary War, which is sure to stir the fires of the real "historical revisionism" fed to everyone in public schools. The Iraq war is not to defend America's freedom any more than Wilson or Roosevelts. People should use Memorial Day to consider what the Civil War was really about that cost the lives of more than all other U.S. wars combined

POPSIrena Sendler Saved 2500 Jewish Children In Warsaw Ghetto On Oct. 20, 1943, the Gestapo arrested her and took her to Pawiak prison, where subversives were tortured and killed. Over three months, her detainers used clubs and other devices to fracture her legs and feet. She did not inform on Zegota leaders and was sentenced to death by firing squad, but a bribed guard helped her escape and marked her as having been executed. Mrs. Sendler remained incognito for the rest of the war -- she could not even risk attending her mother's funeral -- and continued to help Zegota. Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial in Israel, recognized Mrs. Sendler in 1965 as "Righteous Among the Nations," the designation for gentiles who aided Jews during the war. The number of children saved by Mrs. Sendler and her partners is unknown, according to Yad Vashem, but some estimates by survivors groups claim more than 2,500. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/12/AR2008051202751_pf.html

POPSContractor Atrocity--It's Lying ... and It's Murder: How KBR Electrocuted US Troops
"... and marines in Iraq and Afghanistan. These deaths did not come while the soldiers were on patrol or by unexpected encounters with downed "hot" wires. These "accidents" happened in facilities used as base camps for U.S. units, camps that were to have been completely refurbished - including the wiring - under terms of a $30 billion no-bid contract awarded to the one-time Halliburton subsidiary KBR (formerly Kellogg-Brown-Root). The deaths reportedly all were the result of shoddy workmanship in the grounding of electrical sources, both in permanent structures and in machinery when in use. The problem is not new: in 2004, Army units in theatre were alerted concerning the potential for accidental electrocution. American electricians working for KBR in the war zone observed and notified KBR and even the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), the office that monitors contractor performance, of numerous instances of poor workmanship by undertrained and underpaid Iraqi and Afghan "e
