POPSWhat Was Number 1 The Day You Were Born? Aww it didn't clip properly! If you enter your birth date and the country of your choice find out what was number 1 on the the day you were born. My number 1 was "The Battle Of New Orleans" by Johnnie Horton in the US and in the UK "Roulette" by Russ Conway. (I'm 21 and a bit)

POPSModern Day "Caveman" Lives Without $$ Daniel Suelo lives in a cave. Unlike the average American—wallowing in credit-card debt, clinging to a mortgage, terrified of the next downsizing at the office—he isn't worried about the economic crisis. That's because he figured out that the best way to stay solvent is to never be solvent in the first place. Nine years ago, in the autumn of 2000, Suelo decided to stop using money. He just quit it, like a bad drug habit. His dwelling, hidden high in a canyon lined with waterfalls, is an hour by foot from the desert town of Moab, Utah, where people who know him are of two minds: He's either a latter-day prophet or an irredeemable hobo. Suelo's blog, which he maintains free at the Moab Public Library, suggests that he's both. "When I lived with money, I was always lacking," he writes. "Money represents lack. Money represents things in the past (debt) and things in the future (credit), but money never represents what is present.

POPSThe Best Bar In America Minneapolis is a fun city. Nyes is another Twin-Cites gem More accurately, it is the two best bars in America--Nye's Bar, known as the "Old Side" to its ancient staff and unshifting regulars, and the upscale bordello kitsch of the Polonaise Room--connected through their shared fire wall by a pair of swinging doors. When it comes right down to it, you're either Nye's or you're Polonaise, making this place a kind of crossroads inside and out.

POPSThe Jazz Baroness the love story of Nica Rothschild and Thelonious Monk Among the most compelling segments is the story of how Nica and Monk met. Then married, Nica was introduced by a friend to Monk?s “?Round Midnight,” which would become one of the most recorded jazz standards of all time. “I couldn't believe my ears,” she recalled. “I'd never heard anything remotely like it.” Nica set out to find Monk, finally meeting him two years later. Interestingly, for all the mutual love and devotion that developed between them, some speculate that their relationship was essentially platonic. Monk remained married to his wife, Nellie, who seemed to embrace the unusual love triangle.

POPSDetroit Pistons Org. Gives Help To Military Families "There is a lot of support for families where someone is deployed, but service people at home don't get the same help," Schroeder said. "We are here to help them." The food distribution was in conjunction with the Pistons Military Salute to be held at 7:30 tonight during the game against the Charlotte Bobcats at the Palace of Auburn Hills. The Pistons are to salute those who have served or are serving in all branches of the U.S. military. Current members or veterans are to receive free tickets while their families can go to the game for $11 a person. In March, the Pistons raised more than $450,000 during the 17-hour 2009 Pistons Care Marathon in support of Feed The Children. Since the telethon, the organization has distributed 25,000 aid boxes throughout the state, including Lansing, Pontiac, Benton Harbor and Kalamazoo.

POPSWhose God is Allah? But Christian leaders - representing a little under 10% of the population - say Malays have been using the word Allah to refer generally to God for hundreds of years. Christians are now fighting back. An Evangelical church launched a legal action in an attempt to win the right to refer to God as Allah in children's books. The Roman Catholic Church has also gone to court after its newspaper in Malaysia was threatened with the loss of its licence if it continued to use the word. Christians are turning the issue into one about how minorities are treated in Malaysia. The Christian Federation of Malaysia says the country's constitution guarantees freedom of religion, and it's asking whether that can still be meaningful if Christians are denied Bibles which use their own language. So, Allah and God are two different people/concepts, and what about יַהְוֶה ?

POPSThe Story of the White poppyby
sahara Yesterday 10:40 AM

By the end of the war the guildswomen had learned first hand the extent to which war could profoundly affect and harm their lives. Many of them were the wives, mothers and sisters of men who had been killed. They embarked on an active campaign for peace. By 1933 they were searching for a symbol which could be worn by guildswomen who wanted to show publicly that they were against war and for nonviolence. Someone came up with the idea of a white poppy. Workers from the Co-operative Wholesale Society began making the poppies almost at once. Money from selling them, after the production costs had been paid for, was sent to help war-resisters and conscientious objectors in Europe. The wearing of a white poppy on Armistice Day became a focus for the peace movement, and the Peace Pledge Union took it up in 1936 as 'a definite pledge to peace that war must not happen again'.

POPS Barbie in a Burkha 'I know Barbie was something seen as bad before as an image for girls, but in actual fact the message with Barbie for women is you can be whatever you want to be. 'I have a Barbie in a wheelchair that was only out for six weeks.' The mum-of-two's own Barbie collection is set to be displayed at London's Victoria and Albert Museum in 2012. Barbie was first launched in March 1959 by American businesswoman Ruth Handler. The doll was joined by her long-term boyfriend Ken in 1961. Rosie Shannon, from Save the Children, said all the proceeds from the auction will go to the charity. She said: 'We are delighted Sotheby's and the designer chose to auction the burka Barbie dolls for our charity.' The money will go towards the Rewrite the Future campaign which helps millions of children around the world effected by conflict.

POPSThe "Twilight" Saga: Textbook abusive relationship more: And this movie is the one that made $140 million bucks in one weekend. Bigger than Dark Knight. Maybe it's just that I'm older and (hopefully) wiser than the characters and thus out of this movie's target demographic, or maybe I'm a humorless feminist, but knowing that zillions of girls are seeing this getting the idea that a seriously unhealthy relationship is somehow the equivalent of true love -- that is profoundly disturbing. Far scarier than a werewolf.

POPSHolger Bech Nielsen on the LHC and the Higgs Particle Holger Bech Nielsen talks about the theory he co-authored, that God, or the future, could theoretiically somehow sabotage the LHC. He has Asberger's syndrome, therefore his somewhat odd mannerisms, but don't underestimate his intelligence! He has a brilliant mind. I've heard, that he sometimes shows up for work wearing two different shoes and when people point that out to him, he says: "And wouldn't you know, I have another pair just like it at home!" Funny. :p
