POPS45 Amazing and Incredible Artificial Islands Artificial islands — those created by humans rather than natural means — constructed in the distant past and becoming increasingly rampant in recent years have been built by all sorts of revolutionary and bizarre methods and materials, from construction upon existing reefs, drudging of sand and blasted rock, to stainless steel, and even trash.

POPSWhales & Dolphins Inspire a Novel Design for Wind Turbines "Engineers have previously tried to ensure steady flow patterns on rigid and simple lifting surfaces, such as wings. The lesson from biomimicry is that unsteady flow and complex shapes can increase lift, reduce drag and delay 'stall', a dramatic and abrupt loss of lift, beyond what existing engineered systems can accomplish," Fish said. "There are even possibilities that this technology could be applied to aeronautical designs such as helicopter blades in the future."

POPSThe World's First Flying Saucer: Made Right Here on Earth Using an onboard source of energy (such as a battery, ultracapacitor, solar panel or any combination thereof), the electrodes will send an electrical current into the plasma, causing the plasma to push against the neutral (noncharged) air surrounding the craft, theoretically generating enough force for liftoff and movement in different directions (depending on where on the craft's surface you direct the electrical current). The concept sounds far-fetched, but U.F. mechanical and aerospace engineering associate professor Subrata Roy plans to have a mini model ready to demonstrate his theory within the next year.

POPSKarzai orders probe into deadly U.S. strike "The wedding party was supposed to be going from one village to another to take the bride to the house of the groom," Gul said. "You will have to ask the Americans whether these were terrorists. So far as I know they were men, women and children traveling to a wedding." Imagine how you'd feel if your wedding party was bombed! ANOTHER ATROCITY, DAMMIT!

POPSAirman May Receive Medal of Honor The 2009 defense authorization bill contains a section that would authorize Etchberger’s Medal of Honor. It passed in the House of Representatives in May, but still must be passed by the Senate before Bush can sign it into law. This September a monument will be dedicated at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., to Etchberger and the 13 other men who died at Lima Site 85 in Laos.

POPSTHE ANOMALIST I found this site while perusing lynn's links. please forgive typos and punvtuation as i am recovering from carpal tunnel surgery on lft hand early on Friday. I am rt handed but i have a left hand usually making 7 out of 10 key strokes. Hunt & peck is not easy for me and they still have to operate on rt hand. Please bear with me but I found this site to be extremely in my range of collecting curiosities and high weirdness as Kenneth Hite calls it and if you have never had the luxury you should take a look at his live journal site. http://princeofcairo.livejournal.com/ I gurantee you will come to love his wonderful take on all things conspiratorial, Fortean, high weirdness, and secret history. it fuels my Muse for days at a time. i really do wish i could have done the Anomalist justice but give it a look, you may be surprised!
