POPS400GB optical disc invented by Pioneer Blu-ray comes in single layer (25GB) and dual-layer (50GB) flavors. Pioneer does say that because the lens specification for reading the discs is similar to Blu-ray, “it is possible to maintain compatibility” between its disc and Blu-ray discs. That’s not saying it will be compatible, but it would make sense since Pioneer is one of the original Blu-ray Disc Association members. However, plans for that archiving project will have to be put on pause if you want to use this technology. Pioneer is going to demonstrate it at an industry conference next week, but for now the disc is read-only. Eventually, they’ll add write capability as well.

POPSMugabe Spoils for a Fight Lying is in political vogue these days. And it seems that the more blatant the lie the more easily it slips off the tongue How often do we need to hear proclamations of peace from obviously non-peaceful countries. Admittedly, Zimbabwe has not directly attacked it's bordering neighbors. Yet the millions of refugees his failed state has produced could be seen as a human tragedy shared by all the surrounding countries. And does this man have room for bluster. Apparently so. With all the chaos in his country he seems to find time to rattle a few sabers of his own.

POPSA Day Of Silence "Sounds great, right? It’s so great that the Day of Silence ruffled the feathers of the wingers — the Alliance Defense Fund is putting on its The Day of Truth event, scheduled for the next day, April 27th. The Day of Truth was established to counter the promotion of the homosexual agenda and express an opposing viewpoint from a Christian perspective" OMG, it's so beautiful to be an American eh? First of all, I came up in a period that you had to be silent or else baby. I learned very quickly as a bisexual woman that I'd better make the Tila Tequila choice--the guy--every time. Now, I'm here to tell you that I've made my choices and God dammit I wouldn't change a thing, but I would have liked to at least had a f****** option. Try being silent one day of your life and seeing how some people are forced to "act" to please society and then MAYBE you will know what it's like to be discriminated against, disapproved of and not liked very well by society for being born (cont)

POPSGASP! Singulair possibly linked to mood changes, suicide. In February 2008, FDA and Merck discussed how best to communicate these labeling changes to prescribers and patients. Merck plans to highlight the recent changes in the prescribing information in face-to-face interactions with prescribers and provide prescribers with patient information leaflets about Singulair. The Singulair website includes the most current prescribing information and patient information for Singulair (www.singulair.com).

POPSSeven Cues for Possible Lies
2. Speech Disturbances – When we lie, we force our brain to pretend: that the lie is true, that the truth is a lie and simultaneously remember, that the real truth is that each is the other. Are you confused? So is your brain when you lie. The process of deception taxes our cognitive capability to think efficiently, so when we are lying, we will pause longer and speak slower than normal and often experience speech disturbances that serve as gap fillers. These include, but are not limited to, ah, er, um, ug, hum, etc. You should train yourself to be alert for deception when you hear this kind of verbal cue. 3. Incongruent behavior – When our words and our body language don’t agree, our communication is said to be incongruent. For example, imagine that you ask a salesman if he can assure your delivery will be on time. If he explains how certain he is about it being on time while also shaking his head (as if non-verbally saying “no”), he is incongruent. When this sort of incongruency o

POPSBackscratcher shirt Back Scratcher’s T-Shirt * The fast and logical solution to infernal itching The friend (or partner) who offers to scratch your back is a friend (or partner) indeed.

Can't decide which of the two versions of the the given keyword would be more search engine friendly (so you think "car" and "cars" rank the same in Google? You couldn't be more wrong.

Well hold your guns, that's what this post is about). So here are the steps that you need to follow to be more keyword savvy (choosing the right keyword is important for Google ranking and traffic);

POPSTop Ten Uses For Vinegar. Some good cheap tips here. I have always used vinegar as a fabric softener, (no, there's no smell once the clothes are dry) and as scale remover. It's a good disinfectant too and it cleans stained aluminium. Put a bit in the water when you're washing windows and bling bling, their sparkling shiny and clean. Good for cutting through the muck on car windscreens too. Uhm... what else? :roll: Oh yeah, it's really, really cheap, non-toxic, pet- and child friendly, environmentally harmless and good for your health too. :) 10 Health Benefits of Vinegar Grandma knew that her old remedies worked even if she couldn't explain to the scientific world. She knew that diluting vinegar in the ear would help infections due to swimmer's ear. Now, the American Academy of Otolaryngology endorses this remedy. There's something to be said about how smart grandma was.

POPS1st International CBGC Convention! Anyone else wanna come? (Well, it would be the first official convention, anyway. It doesn't necessarily have to be in 48 hours either. All that's figure-outable.) Hee hee hee. :p It's would be advisable not to bring kids or pets, but an entry fee of at least two beer game suggestions would be mandatory, I reckon. Debbyski and I can't be the only fun-loving, spontaneous, life-living, thirsty crazies 'round this joint? *LOL*

POPSInternational Space Station - $130 Billion wasted and counting I support the space program and manned exploration of space. But the ISS has devoured so many billions by now, and our only plan for it once it is complete is to close it down. Why keep building it if it can't/won't be used? Let's get back to the moon and setup some permanent bases.

POPSDoes OJ Really Matter? Meantime, George W. Bush is tapping your phone calls without a court warrant, American soldiers are dying in Iraq (along with even more innocent Iraqi men, women, and babies), the polar ice caps are melting fast, 47 million Americans do not have health insurance, and Dick Cheney is itching for a war with Iran.

POPSAntes dividia, ahora es historia y es arte El tiempo pasa y todo se hace viejo, lo que en su día fue un impedimento para moverse libremente por Berlín, ahora atrae, y recuerda lo que fue la historia de esta ciudad. Los seres humanos también nos hacemos viejos pero de momento aún no tenemos manera de reconstruirnos, por muchos millones que echemos en el tema.
