Mayapples Are Among The First Plants To Come Up In The Spring

Posted: 05 Sep 2010 11:15 PM PDT


May Apple grows to about 18 inches high, the stem separates into two large, dark green, long stemmed, palmate, lobed, leaves. Looking almost like umbrellas to protect the large white flower on a short peduncle, growing right in-between the leaves, flowers bloom in April to May. May apple flowers turn into crab apple size edible fruits, gather in early summer when fully ripe. May Apple roots are dark brown, fibrous and jointed, gather roots after foliage dies back, dry for later herb use.

The fully ripe fruit is eaten raw, cooked or made into jams, jellies, marmalades, and pies. It is very aromatic, and has a sweet peculiar but agreeable flavor. May Apple seeds and rind are not edible, said to be poisonous. The root and plant contain valuable constituents Quercetin, Kaempferol, Podophyllin, Isorhamnetin, Gallic-acid, Berberine, Alpha-peltatin, that are being studied for their healing, anticancer and other properties.

According to a 19th century botanist, mayapple fruits are useless and tasted syrupy something, according to him, was a favorite with small boys, pigs and raccoons (a small animal with grayish black fur, black patches around the eyes, and a long bushy ringed tail usually found in north and central America).Mayapple has a clambering rhizome or tuber that is as thin as a pencil and grows up to six feet. This part of the plant is of medicinal use and is harvested in autumn when the plants die down.

The foliage is avoided by mammalian herbivores because of its poisonous qualities and bitter taste. The seeds and rhizomes are also poisonous. The berries are edible if they are fully ripe; they are eaten by box turtles and possibly by such mammals as opossums, raccoons, and skunks. The seeds are distributed to new locations in the faeces of these animals.

They people thought I was either really smart or they thought I was a trash bag, Ochocinco the Ultimate Catch's Tara tells us regarding her love-it-or-hate-it personality. In the interview below, the show's class clown talks about her refusal to take reality TV seriously, the eyebrow-raising comments about race she made on the show and why she's looking into a slutty puppet master Halloween costume.

They two ladies only remain in the final round to win Chad's affection. He continues to wine and dine both women on a romantic out of town trip. Chad must choose between fiery passion and a close mental connection. Will the underdog pull off an upset, or can the favorite take home the win.

They about tweets were Evelyn Lozada, who is not one of the 85 women competing for his attention on the VH1 dating show the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver has apparently upset the network, which airs his reality show Ochocinco.

The reality game together would have had a viewing party in Vega or at least Compton something. I'm sure King or Smooth could use an extra model using that term loosely) for a few shots. Stay away from shots that have the word money in front of it. If all else fells, there is a NBA/NFL draft every year to find a man. Maybe you will find another reality show ie. I Love Money or Basketball

Charon Discovered In 1978 At The United States Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station

Posted: 05 Sep 2010 10:59 PM PDT


CHARON provides the operations of instantiation, hiding, and parallel composition on agents, which can be used to build a complex agent from other agents. The discrete and continuous behaviors of an agent are described using modes. For hierarchical description of the behavior of an agent.

Charon, was a breakthrough in gaining understanding of Pluto. By measuring the distance between the two and knowing the orbital period, it was possible to calculate for their mass. Charon's mass is about 9.6 x 10-10 solar masses. This is about 1/7th the mass of Pluto. The accuracy of Charon's density provided by the HST information is still being challenged by observers from ground based telescopes. Some theorize that Charon was formed when a planetesimal slammed into Pluto long ago, similar to the idea considered as the origin event of Earth's moon. "Pluto's axis or rotation and Charon's orbit are highly inclined, as we might expect from such an impact."

Upon its release, Downhearted charted at 3 on the Finnish album chart. After touring with two of Europe's most popular symphonic metal bands, Nightwish and After Forever, in 2002, Charon scored two more chart successes in their homeland with 2003 singles "In Trust Of No One" and "Religious Delicious". Both songs feature on album "The Dying Daylights", released in autumn 2003. Also during 2003, JP lent his voice to Poisonblack album "Escapexstacy", fronted by former Sentenced vocalist Ville Laihiala.

A mode is basically a hierarchical state machine, that is, a mode can have submodes and transitions connecting them. Variables can be declared locally inside any mode with standard scoping rules for visibility. Modes can be connected to each other through well-defined entry and exit points. We allow the instantiation of modes so that the same mode definition can be reused in multiple contexts.

SMU Football Vs Texas Tech At NCAA College 2010

Posted: 05 Sep 2010 10:47 PM PDT


The difference of course is a lousy start and a lousy defense. In 2006 SMU probably had the best defense it has had in 20 years and it still gave up points in bunches. Make no mistake-in the future, SMU will only go as far as its defense takes it the difference between 2006 and 2008, of course, is wins.

The SMU made a huge leap in head coach June Jones' second year on the job as they went from 1-11 in college football picks to an 8-5 bowl team that defeated Nevada in the Hawaii Bowl 45-10. SMU made a huge turnaround last year improving from a 1-11 record in 2008 to 8-5 in 2009. Then the Pony's blew out Nevada in the Hawaii Bowl by the score of 45-10.

This attitude was prevalent not only with the average fan, but also with SMU students who found that getting to Texas Stadium was a problem. A combination of these and other factors led to talk of possibly returning football to the SMU campus even before the NCAA's 1986 action. The return of Mustang Madness to the Hilltop, to which SMU is commonly referred, created logistic questions in the minds of SMU officials. The first being, Do we renovate the existing structure, Ownby Stadium, or do we tear it down and build a new stadium.

The Mustangs turned in the biggest improvement in college football last season when they improved from a  record in Jones' first season to an 8-5 record and a victory in the Hawaii Bowl last season fast forward two seasons.

Unsustainable Is The New Normal Indeed

It's the perfect song to listen to when you wake up sorta bummed out and hungover, and lay in bed until 2 pm, reading everything on the Internet, like a giant loser who really should get up and eat something or perhaps perform a basic grooming ritual. No, really, it's the perfect song for that. I just listened to it four times in a row.

You just gotta fire up the prompter and wing it. But it's revealing that nobody around him in the so-called smartest administration of all time thought to spell it out phonetically for him when the speech got typed up and loaded into the machine. Which suggests that either his minders don't know that he doesn't know that kinda stuff, or they don't know it either. To put it in Rumsfeldian terms, they don't know what they don't know.

The president tells us, with a straight face, that his grossly irresponsible profligate wastrel of a predecessor took the federal budget on an eight-year joyride, so the only way his sober, fiscally prudent successor can get things under control is to grab the throttle and crank it up to what Mel Brooks in Spaceballs (which seems the appropriate comparison) called "Ludicrous Speed."

We need to dig a hole twice as deep for one-and-a-half times as long. And that's according to the official projections of his Economics Czar, Ms. Rose Colored-Glasses. By 2015, the actual hole may be so deep that even if you toss every Obama speech down it on double-spaced paper you still won't be able to fill it up. In the spendthrift Bush days, federal spending as a proportion of GDP average 19.6 percent. Obama proposes to crank it up to 25 percent as a permanent feature of life.

The American Movie Rocketed top Of North Documentary Style Horror Movie

Posted: 05 Sep 2010 10:34 PM PDT


The expendables sylvester Stallone's film about a group of weathered falling one position to the seventh spot was,The Other Guys, the latest Will Ferrell slapstick comedy, about two mismatched police officers paired on a high-profile crime investigation, which had a 5.4-million-dollar take at the box office.

In the American this butterfly motif is omnipresent when Jack, working a new job from Abruzzo, constructs a super-duper high-powered rifle for a mysterious hit woman (Thekla Reuten), during target practice he delights in the white butterfly that alights on her thigh. Jack's way of showing delight is, however, minimal. He deadpans his way through life, though he always seems to be chewing gum. In "The American," chewing gum is what passes for characterization.

They came from other countries also, with the exception of Mesrine, a French biopic with the feel and story arc of a classic American gangster movie, they fall well outside the stylistic parameters of the crime genre as we know it in the States. Even The American , starring that reigning American movie star, George Clooney feels more like a lost film from the late French master of cool, Jean-Pierre Melville, than a Hollywood enterprise.

They also do not include any other "locker room" or special bonuses the UFC oftentimes pays. They also do not include portions of the PPV revenue that some top-level fighters receive.

Machete Trailer Recut To Blast Arizona Immigration Law Sparks Wild Race War Fears

Posted: 05 Sep 2010 08:58 PM PDT


The political trailer of a Cinco De Mayo for the film was released against the Arizona immigration situation, Rodriguez claimed again. He said the scenes were only a satire and it did not worked as the representative of the movie. Actually, whatever was show in the trailer, the movie contained those things and even a lot more things that included Jessica Alba's provocative "the border crossed us" rallying cry.the Americans for Legal Immigration PAC is now concerned about a new film which depicts "an army of machete and AK-47 wielding illegal aliens in a violent uprising."

You're given the feeling that Mexicans are really good people that work hard (all very true). White people are corrupt, evil opportunists who want to hog all the good things in life. If you made it all the way to the end without falling asleep then you get treated to an explosive mini-war that might even be like it was at the Alamo, only this time the Mexicans win.the Texas Film Commission has funded, at least in part, 'Machete.' Race wars may seem like something you would only see in the movies, let's hope it stays there. For the country's sake let's hope that the left doesn't get their way by provoking an irreversible travesty for political gain.

It is propaganda under the cover of an exploitation film. It is designed to stir up "visceral" reactions to the very serious issue of illegal immigration. It strives to demonize Americans outraged over an open border and the influx of millions of illegal aliens every year.a violent film to use such a backdrop to glorify and potentially incite violent attacks on white Americans over the immigration issue is very dangerous, and Alex urges the film's director to carefully consider the impact such an extreme statement could have.

Though the movie screen is an escapist dimension where sex & violence are commonplace, 'Machete' ties it into a racially motivated issue spurned by anti-illegal immigration rhetoric– and that may be taking things a bit too far.So what of the role of cinema and television cultural products in the larger picture of shaping the opinions and habits of our increasingly naive and shallow population? One need only read between the lines, flip through the channels in a critically-evaluating way (rather than a hyponotic, dreamy way) and read the statements of the ruling elite, who have made sport of pushing our buttons.
