Acai Berry Relative Of The Blueberry

Posted: 31 May 2010 03:41 PM PDT


The acai berry is an inch-long reddish, purple fruit. It comes from the acai palm tree (Euterpe oleracea), which is native to Central and South America. It is a relative of the blueberry, cranberry, and other dark purple fruits.


This is a high energy berry that comes from a special Amazon palm tree that is harvested in the rainforests of Brazil. Acai is a fruit having a short post harvest period, before it tends to deteriorate. That is why Acai is available only as juice fruit pulp outside Brazil. This juice and pulp are used in numerous juice blends, sodas, smoothies and other beverages.


The açaí palm is a species of palm tree in the genus Euterpe cultivated for their fruit and superior hearts of palm. Its name comes from the European adaptation of the Tupian word ïwasa'i, '[fruit that] cries or expels water'. Global demand for the fruit has expanded rapidly in recent years, and açaí is now cultivated for that purpose primarily. The closely-related species Euterpe edulis (jucara) is now predominantly used for hearts of palm.

Audie Murphy Soldier Of World War II

Posted: 31 May 2010 03:25 PM PDT


Life in the Murphy household was poor and very hard. Growing up, Audie picked cotton and became very skilled with a rifle to hunt small game to help feed the family. Audie's father left the family in 1940 and his mother died in 1941, so at age 17 both of his parents were gone, leaving Audie to care for his younger siblings.


Audie Murphy was the most highly decorated American soldier of World War II. Diminutive, self‐reliant, and ambitious to escape his hardscrabble Texas origins, Murphy joined the army in 1942 at the age of seventeen. He soon proved himself more than equal to the demands of combat soldiering, fighting his way unwounded through Sicily and Italy. By 1944, Murphy had won several medals and the offer of a battlefield commission, which at first he refused.


Audie Leon Murphy (June 20, 1925 – May 28, 1971) was the most decorated American soldier of World War II and a celebrated movie star for many years in the post-war era, appearing in 44 films. He also found some success as a country music composer.

Louise Bourgeois The Spider Structures

Posted: 31 May 2010 03:09 PM PDT


In 1938, she emigrated to the United States and continued her studies at the Art Students League in New York. Though her beginnings were as an engraver and painter, by the 1940s she had turned her attention to sculptural work, for which she is now recognized as a twentieth-century leader. Greatly influenced by the influx of European Surrealist artists who immigrated to the United States after World War II, Bourgeois's early sculpture was composed of groupings of abstract and organic shapes, often carved from wood. By the 1960s she began to execute her work in rubber, bronze, and stone, and the pieces themselves became larger, more referential to what has become the dominant theme of her work—her childhood.


Louise Bourgeois, December 25, 1911 – May 31, 2010 was a French-born American artist and sculptor. Her most famous works are possibly the spider structures, titled Maman, from the last dozen years.

Canada Fire The Historical Development Of The Fire

Posted: 31 May 2010 01:06 PM PDT


The Canada Fire Equipment is an authorized dealer of AMEREX Corporation, worldwide leaders in the manufacturing of fire extinguishers (ISO 9000, ISO 9002) and other fire fighting systems.


The Canadian Fire Fighters Museum's mission is to tell the story of fire fighting in Canada on a national basis, circa 1759 to the present. The Canadian Fire Fighters Museum, established in Port Hope, Ontario in 1984, will collect, preserve, research and display fire apparatus, fire equipment, photographs and related archival materials to illustrate the historical development of the fire service in Canada.


As these ecosystems have evolved over the last 10,000-15,000 years (since the glacial retreat at the end of the last ice age), fire has helped to maintain their health and diversity. From a socio-economic perspective fire can, however, have negative or undesirable effects on public health and safety, property, and natural resources.

Gettysburg Address Abraham Lincoln

Maybe I'll have to reboot. Hold on a minute. Um, my name is Abe Lincoln and I'm your president. While we're waiting, I want to thank Judge David Wills, chairman of the committee supervising the dedication of the Gettysburg cemetery. It's great to be here, Dave, and you and the committee are doing a great job. Gee, sometimes this new technology does have glitches, but we couldn't live without it, could we? Oh - is it ready? OK, here we go:


The Gettysburg Address is a speech by U.S. President Abraham Lincoln and is one of the best-known speeches in United States history.[1] It was delivered by Lincoln during the American Civil War, on the afternoon of Thursday, November 19, 1863, at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, four and a half months after the Union armies defeated those of the Confederacy at the decisive Battle of Gettysburg.

Quebec Fires Blazes Are Still Out Of Control

Posted: 31 May 2010 09:54 AM PDT


The forest fire protection agency in Quebec, SOPFEU, stated the number of fires burning across Quebec totaled 52 this morning. Nine of these blazes are still out of control.

The majority of the fires are charring acres north of the heavily populated St. Lawrence Valley. The highest concentration of fires is across central Quebec.

While that is an improvement over the 16 that were out of control on Friday, high winds will likely challenge firefighters to make headway on the others, Morin said.

"Today it really will be the wind," Morin told CTV News Channel Saturday morning in a telephone interview from Maniwaki, Que.

"Mother Nature has a great role in fire activity. Tomorrow we are supposed to get lighter winds and by Monday hopefully some precipitation. So if we get through today then after that we should be getting some help from Mother Nature."

The forest fire protection agency of Quebec, SOPFEU, said in the morning that the number of wildfires in the Quebec area was 52, some of this fires are still totally out of control.

While none of the nearby residents are at risk since those who live in the blazes' vicinity had been evacuated, other residents complained of heavy smoke and ash which were drifting toward the Quebec-Montreal corridor.

There are more than 50 forest fires burning in Quebec, including eight that remain out of control. About 40,000 hectares of forest have been ravaged over the last week, while residents of one central Quebec community have been evacuated.

Memorial Day Quotes, Sms, Mms, Jokes, And Story

Posted: 31 May 2010 09:51 AM PDT


I have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning; I have never quite been able to feel that half-masted flags were appropriate on Decoration Day. I have rather felt that the flag should be at the peak, because those whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it. We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did. — Benjamin Harrison

Although no sculptured marble should rise to their memory, nor engraved stone bear record of their deeds, yet will their remembrance be as lasting as the land they honored. ~Daniel Webster


With the tears a Land hath shed
Their graves should ever be green.
~Thomas Bailey Aldrich


Are they dead that yet speak louder than we can speak, and a more universal language? Are they dead that yet act? Are they dead that yet move upon society and inspire the people with nobler motives and more heroic patriotism? ~Henry Ward Beecher


Green sods are all their monuments; and yet it tells
A nobler history than pillared piles,
Or the eternal pyramids.
~James Gates Percival


Is't death to fall for Freedom's right?
He's dead alone who lacks her light!
~Thomas Campbell

Posted: 31 May 2010 09:30 AM PDT


As the campaign came to an end, the three topics discussed were water availability, the prevailing power scenario, and developing the infrastructure of this city.

The election was concluded on May 30, without any major problem and according to a report published by the DNA India, about 50% of the voting population (6.5lakh in total) turn up to cast their votes.

Pakistani court lifted a ban on Monday on Facebook

Posted: 31 May 2010 09:27 AM PDT


The Lahore High Court imposed the ban almost two weeks ago amid anger over a page that encouraged users to post images of Islam's Prophet Muhammad. Many Muslims regard depictions of the prophet, even favourable ones, as blasphemous.

By: Babar Dogar, The Associated Press

LAHORE, Pakistan – A Pakistani court lifted a ban on Facebook on Monday after officials from the social networking site apologized for a page deemed offensive to Muslims and removed its contents, said a top information technology official.

"In response to our protest, Facebook has tendered their apology and informed us that all the sacrilegious material has been removed from the URL," said Najibullah Malik, secretary of Pakistan's information technology ministry, referring to the technical term for a Web page.

Facebook assured the Pakistani government that "nothing of this sort will happen in the future," said Malik.

Officials from the website could not immediately be reached for comment. They said earlier the contents of the "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day!" page did not violate Facebook's terms.

The page encouraged users to post images of the prophet to protest threats made by a radical Muslim group against the creators of the American TV series "South Park" for depicting Muhammad in a bear suit during an episode earlier this year.

The controversy sparked a handful of protests across Pakistan, many by student members of radical Islamic groups. Some of the protesters carried signs advocating holy war against Facebook for allowing the page.

Bangladesh also decided to block Facebook on Sunday but said it would restore access to the site if the offensive material was removed.

It is not the first time that images of the prophet have sparked anger. Pakistan and other Muslim countries saw large and sometimes violent protests in 2006 when a Danish newspaper published cartoons of Muhammad, and again in 2008 when they were reprinted. Later the same year, a suspected al-Qaida suicide bomber attacked the Danish Embassy in Islamabad, killing six people.

As of midmorning Monday, access to Facebook inside Pakistan was still restricted. But users outside the country confirmed the page that sparked the recent uproar was no longer accessible.

Anger over the incident also prompted the government to block access to YouTube, saying there was growing sacrilegious content on the video sharing website. The government restored access to YouTube last week but said it would continue to block videos offensive to Muslims that are posted on the site.

Pakistani government officials are waiting for a written court order lifting the ban before they advise Internet service providers to restore access to the site, said Malik.

Why People Involve In Polyamorous Relations

Posted: 31 May 2010 02:59 AM PDT


Since you're trying to learn the language, I don't think it's inappropriate to ask for the occasional translation when you don't understand it when they're speaking Spanish. Since you live in a Spanish-speaking country, I can't imagine they'd be foolish enough to think they were speaking in a private code in front of you (which would be pretty rude). Learning a language is pretty intense, but if they're bilingual, they know that. It might be that they think they're including you and don't realize how much you're feeling confused and left out.

Polyamory (from Greek πολυ [poly, meaning many or several] and Latin amor [love]) is the practice, desire, or acceptance of having more than one intimate relationship at a time with the knowledge and consent of everyone involved.



Edgar Cayce, in Mysteries of the Mind, suggests: "Ideas focus our lives on results, the realization of the ideas, the end of the journey. Ideals have us focus on the process, on the journey itself. Working towards the goal is often more pleasurable than its accomplishment. Focusing on the process of doing a job, on how we obtain a goal, on the quality of the journey through life, ensures satisfaction."

With polyamorists' higher profile has come some growing pains. The majority of them don't seem particularly interested in pressing a political agenda; the joke in the community is that the complexities of their relationships leave little time for activism. But they are beginning to show up on the radar screen of the religious right, some of whose leaders have publicly condemned polyamory as one of a host of deviant behaviors sure to become normalized if gay marriage wins federal sanction. "This group is really rising up from the underground, emboldened by the success of the gay-marriage movement," says Glenn Stanton, the director of family studies for Focus on the Family, an evangelical Christian group. "And while there's part of me that says, 'Oh, my goodness, I don't think I could see them make grounds,' there's another part of me that says, 'Well, just watch them.' "
