POPSBanana Chocolate Chip Cake 1 cup white sugar, 2 large bananas, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/2 cup chocolate chips, 1/2 cup butterscotch chips, used baking SODA instead of baking powder, and sprinkled powdered sugar on top after it cooled. Baked at 350 for 40 minutes in an 8x8 pan. Everything else was the same as the original recipe. The cake came out super moist, thick (not thin), and tasted delicious. Changes I made: I used two large bananas, which equaled about 1 1/2 -2 cups mashed bananas. I used one full cup of sugar because usually banana bread isn't sweet enough. I added about one teaspoon of vanilla. I also used about two handfuls of milk chocolate chips. I don't like the semi-sweet. I had no complaints and the chips really gave a good twist to regular banana bread. With the additions, it was plenty sweet and very, very moist. I had to bake it the full 35 minutes, almost 40 minutes, due to the additions. baking SODA instead of baking powder

POPSWil S**t Hapen? This smacks of petty paranoia. Comments at the source offered some creative solutions: "waterguns full of bleach or urine, just like releasing poisonous snakes, just like the balloons filled with hydrochloric acid... this is just police fantasy. There is a big difference between being prepared for a situation and preparing for a fictional tactic that you came up with yourself" "Carry empty buckets and fill them on-site. Ex-Lax helps. " I can see it now: "Is that a bucket of feces?" "No, officer. It's a firkin of feces." "Oh. Okay, then."

I used 5 Tbsp. canola oil instead of margarine and it worked well. These were the most amazing cupcakes ever! They disappeared within the first day. So moist and rich andwas able to do it all with only a fork for blending. I made a sort of penutbutter fudge frosting by mixing 1/3 cup natural creamy pb, 1.5cups of powdered sugar, 1.5 tsp of vanilla. THESE WERE DELICIOUS. The flavor was amazing, and they were super moist and had the perfect texture. The only thing I did differently was adding shredded coconut and a little more vanilla than the recipe called for. Sooo soooo good!

POPSFreedom of Expression Finally, suppose that these glorious words were enforced by the Federal Print Commission. Would anyone pretend that America then would have a truly free press?

POPSThe buck doesn't stop here; it just keeps falling Brought to you by our friends at the federal reserve. Imagine that "nutjob" republican who during the debates said he wanted to abolish the federal reserve, stop printing fiat money, and return the US to a sound monetary policy, what a kook, huh! Of course those words were greeted with laughter from McCain, Guiliani, and others! Now I see why...

POPSBill Belichik's weasely interpretation of videotaping rules I'd wondered how he came to the conclusion that his videotaping was legal, and now I finally know. Of course, the fact that he continued the videotaping after getting the memo with the official interpretation shows a complete lack of respect for the rules (and possibly for rules in general unless they work in his favor). Good thing the Pats lost the Super Bowl.

POPSSuper Bowl product launches The Super Bowl has been regarded as an occasion to introduce innovative products ever since the 1984 Macintosh launch. Surprisingly, despite Super Bowl XLII’s record-breaking ratings this year, only four companies used the opportunity as a stage for major product launches, including the Audi R8, Pepsi Gatorade G2, Hyundai Genesis and the Taco Bell Fiesta Platter.
