POPSIslam's Biggest Enemy Is The Muslims Themselves
U.N. Human Rights Council, the Saudi Shura Council raised objections, since reviling other religions is one of Islam's central precepts. "The ones who harm the Prophet are those who believe that woman is lewd, and that she detracts from the purity of prayer just like a dog or a donkey...and those who believe that a woman lacks intelligence. "The ones who harm the Prophet are the rulers of Arab states who have made their countries the last bastions of tyranny and dictatorship in the world, and who demand submission to religious texts to justify their crimes. "The ones who harm the Prophet do not live in the West - they are among us, the Muslims. It is the Muslims who have fashioned an Islamic model that is inherently terrorist, hypocritical, life-negating, and sustained by the murder of others in the name of jihad and by attacks on freedom of opinion under the pretext of defending Islamic national principles. This is what we - and no one else - have produced."

POPSFleas Explained by a Veterinarian Interesting article, if not exactly thrilling, about the life cycle of fleas. By a veterinarian, so he does suggest consulting your vet on what to do. My vet of choice for this topic is Dr. Richard Pitcairn, whose book on natural approaches to pet health I reviewed on my main dog training website, at http://www.training-dogs.com/blog/dr-pitcairns-complete-guide-to-natural-health-for-dogs-and-cats-my-review.html

POPSIs Nintendo a snake oil salesman? It's true. Games like Wii Fit and Brain Age play to your mental and physical insecurities, but there's no real proof that they actually improve either. From experience, Wii Fit is more motivational tool than workout machine: http://is.gd/Bo3 EDIT: I should emphasize that this is clipped from an opinion piece, so it's not definitively declaring Nintendo's products bogus.

POPSSUBSTANTIATED TRUE FACTS Breast cancer patients are significantly more likely to have a pet dog instead of a cat. 80% of all breast cancer patients have had "extensive contact" with dogs before their diagnosis. Researchers speculate that dogs (and possibly other pets) harbor viruses that can raise the risk of contracting cancer. - San Diego Union, 11/20/07

POPShunter-gatherers in the city? well, gatherers at least The biggest challenge I face in this regard is a husband who grew up in NYC and is very, verrrrry suspicious of anything growing anywhere other than a cultivated garden. "You can't eat that! What is it? You don't know what's on it! What if a dog peed on it?" "Honey, it's rosemary, and it's growing four feet above the ground. I doubt any dog is acrobatic enough to reach it."

POPSPuppy socialisation places With nothing but time, patience, and a little knowledge on your part, any dog, young or old, pure-bred or mutt, can be a happy and well-adjusted member of your family. You can reduce the risk of a dog bite, ensure your dog's safety and happiness (as well as that of your family, friends, neighbors, and anyone else your dog may meet) just by spending time with your dog is various situations – in other words, socializing him. As with most things in life, the earlier you start and the more you practice, the easier and faster the learning process goes. Starting the socialization process with a puppy is really just a continuation of a process that started for him at birth.

POPSI Found Your Dog Today..... And despite all my persuasion, his eyes see a stranger. He did not trust. He would not come. He turned and continued his journey; one he was sure would bring him to you. He does not understand you are not looking for him. He only knows you are not there, he only knows he must find you. This is more important than food or water or the stranger who can give him these things. Persuasion and pursuit seemed futile; I did not even know his name. I drove home, filled a bucket with water and a bowl with food and returned to where we had met. I could see no sign of him, but I left my offering under the tree where he had sought shelter from the sun and a chance to rest. You see, he is not of the desert. When you domesticated him, you took away any instinct of survival out here. His purpose demands that he travel during the day. He doesn't know that the sun and heat will claim his life. He only knows that he has to find you.

POPSBeer has gone to the dogs "Imported from Holland, where it is called Kwispelbier - "tail-wagging beer" - it is being sold at £1.99 for a 33cl bottle. Made using a traditional brewing process, the drink contains malt barley extract. A spokesman for Pets at Home said: "While initially people may think of the drink as a novelty, it makes a delicious treat for a thirsty dog. "It also encourages drinking, which is good for the kidneys, and is a great source of vitamin B. "It means pets are even more a part of family life as they can enjoy a beer, too."
