POPSWhat I've Discovered Of course, this article is not to make light of the financial burden those have who have to drive long miles to work, but it's a great article for the things in life we "miss" by always being in a hurry in those 5 minute drives.

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.

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.

POPSNext On The Moonbat Agenda: Plants Rights (It's Not A Joke) Thus, the panel determined that we cannot claim "absolute ownership" over plants and, moreover, that "individual plants have an inherent worth." One of the near-term consequences of this latest advance in moral depravity is the likely finding that the genetically modified crops we need to combat world hunger would compromise "plant dignity" by causing plants to "lose their independence." Hat tip: Michelle Malkin; on tips from ToddonCapeCod and Burning Hot. Posted by Van Helsing This is a natural progression of the depraved lunacy resulting from the disavowal of the human soul. According to liberal dogma, human life is just a random, meaningless accident. Therefore, it's okay to kill your baby, and as PETA's Ingrid Newkirk puts it, A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy.

POPS How Sharks Work
Sharks mate only rarely and have a relatively small number of babies at a time. Consequently, they can't replenish their population quickly. Sharks also have fairly long lifespans -- on average, sharks live 25 to 30 years, and some sharks live 100 years or more. If left alone, a female will mate many times in its life. With this reproductive pattern, the death of every single shark obviously has a significant effect on the shark population. Sharks have persevered for hundreds of millions of years, while thousands of other animals have come and gone. When you consider this incredible history, and the unique physiological characteristics found in sharks, it's clear that it would be a great tragedy to lose any shark species. They are among the most remarkable animals on earth, and there is still so much we don't know about them. Many shark species are now threatened with extinction due to human activity in the ocean. The main threats to sharks are over-fishing and accidental bycatch.

POPSVick and Speciesism Being in Atlanta you can imagine the coverage of the Micheal Vick indictment on "dog fighting" has been thoroughly covered. But what is not talked about is the underlying nature of someone who would engage in this type of activity (if the allegations prove true). Dog lovers have no problem seeing the reprehensible nature of this type of activity. But what is it that actually enables someone to receive pleasure from this type of "sport". I have to admit that I keep thinking of stories of serial killers who torture and kill animals to start with and graduate to humans when other creatures don't satisfy their urges. Viewed in this context, and I'm not suggesting that Vick is a serial killer in training, this is troubling nonetheless. The irony of a star of one of the most violent games sanctioned by society involved in torturing dogs has been ignored by the media. I suspect there's a bit too much money involved to highlight this unpleasant fact.
