Doesn't the above image make you want to watch a porno? Apparently the Batman XXX Porno Parody succeeds by frightening the arousal into you. I bet you like that, don't you, sicko? We've seen adult entertainment parodies of The Big Lebowski, "Curb Your Enthusiasm," and "Dexter," and out of all of them I'd say Batman is at the bottom of my list of porns I have a mild curiosity in stealing from my dad.
The "film" is directed by Alex Braun and distributed by Vivid. Take a gander at the second trailer for the Batman Porn Parody below. **Spinning dildo flies at screen, transitioning us to the next scene**

Tanya Wexler's new romantic comedy "Hysteria" is deeper than it appears on the surface. The film uses the real and little-known history of the vibrator and hysteria in Victorian England as a backdrop for the fictional story of an ambitious young doctor, Mortimer Granville (Hugh Dancy) and Charlotte Dalrymple (Maggie Gyllenhaal), an early suffragette.
While the movie treats its subject matter with a light hand, Charlotte's activism on behalf of working class London women and agitation for women's political rights strikes a deeper chord. Wexler may have chosen to focus on the humorous aspects of the setting and characters, but the premise carries unavoidable parallels to the modern feminist movement and the current war on women in American politics.
In the 1880s, London was experiencing an epidemic of "female hysteria," a medical diagnosis that encompassed everything from gynecological disorders to sexual dissatisfaction to unstable moods. Hysteria was first described in the medical literature of ancient Greece in the 4th and 5th centuries BC. The cause was deemed to be "a wandering uterus," which was thought to move throughout a woman's body, causing disease. The 2nd century physician Galen believed the cause of hysteria was sexual deprivation, and prescribed marriage for single women, more frequent sexual intercourse for married women, and the "medical" administration of a vaginal massage by a midwife in certain situations. The usual treatments for hysteria throughout the ages included bleeding with leeches, frequent horseback rides, riding a train or carriage through bumpy terrain, or spraying water at high pressure onto a woman's genitals.
While it seems unbelievable now, for the vast majority of recorded Western history, doctors honestly didn't see the clitoris as a sexual organ. The prescription of a vulva massage was seen as a strictly medical act – doctors did not believe that women were capable of experiencing sexual pleasure without vaginal penetration. They also didn't believe in female orgasm – physicians found the work tedious, dull, and tiring, sometimes spending hours attempting to bring a patient to "hysterical paroxysm" – that's an orgasm in modern medical parlance.
This history forms the backdrop against which our protagonist, Dr. Granville, operates. After an unsuccessful medical career attempting to introduce germ theory to London hospitals, he takes a job as an assistant physician at a hysteria clinic. And the patients love him. In fact, he becomes so overworked that he develops a repetitive stress injury and risks losing his job and his love interest. And thus, the electric vibrator is invented, saving the day. (Of course, these vibrators looked nothing like what you're probably envisioning right now. Some of them were actually pretty terrifying.)
Though most of the movie is populated by sexually-frustrated women with no idea how to ask for what they want and need, the subject is not handled in an exploitative or titillating way. Most of the humor comes from the fact that the male doctors in the film are completely oblivious to the needs and feelings of the women they "treat."
This part of the story more or less reflects the actual history of the vibrator. What makes "Hysteria" such an interesting film, however, is Wexler's exploration of some of the more sinister implications of the hysteria diagnosis. Had it merely been a catch-all for depression and other vague symptoms, surely a "paroxysm" or two wouldn't hurt. (Although I feel for the centuries of women who must surely have suffered through untreated UTIs, STIs and yeast infections.) Another prominent "symptom" of hysteria was "a tendency to cause trouble" and in these cases, the amusing "treatments" for this non-disease become incredibly disturbing, including the instruction that men should beat their hysterical wives or humiliate them publicly until they stopped expressing discontent. Some doctors even performed hysterectomy or clitoridectomy in "difficult" cases.

Response to Nadine - useful update. Freud's 'hysterical' patients reported having been sexually abused, and one of his earlier papers gave childhood sexual abuse as an etiological factor in 'hyterical' complaints. Viennese society reacted with such a backlash that Freud had to recant, and state that these accounts must be fantasies based on the patient's repressed sexual feelings towards the parent - the Oedipus complex - although in the case of woman, it would have to be an Electra complex. A sophisticated and very successful move to 'blame the victim'
In the modern world, we now have 'False Memory Syndrome', but has the well-known determination of perpetrators to deny their offenses ever resulted in a psychiatric category 'False Denial of Abusing'? Haven't seen it yet.
Children whose adult carers have sexualised the 'caring' relationship will naturally suppose that this is what happens - and will go on to 'sexualise' future caring relationship, becoming the 'seductive hysteric'. Blame the victim - again. That is why so frequently people who work with such patients do often succumb to a fantasy that their patient can be 'healed' by a sexual connection, while in fact the only 'healing' that can take place has got to be a compassionate but absolute refusal on the part of the therapist to allow this to happen. The patient's first experience of a non-sexualised caring relationship will allow the real healing to begin.
...now labeled "histrionics" by the DSM-4 but still includes hypersexuality/seductiveness and emotionality as symptoms; and is most often used to label women
A class in RESPECT AND RESPONSIBILITY should be taught from Grade one to graduation. Children should be taught that anything is permissible as long as it does not hurt themselves or anyone else. If children are taught at a very early age that every child has their own strengths and weaknesses and that they should use their strengths to help others not to tease or bully them.
It should not matter if a child comes from a FAMILY of a mother and father, 2 mothers or 2 fathers or a single mother or father as long as they are LOVED.
Sex Education should be taught on LGBT, Contraceptives, Masturbation, Pregnancy and all forms of sex. Girls and women endure things that men will never have to. Educate men and women on these. Let us face it whether we like it or not children are curious and are having sex earlier. Children should be taught the JOYS and the CONSEQUENCES of having sex ( Pregnancy, STD, AIDS and others.) I believe this is a solution. Stopping the damage before it starts so that Bullying, Sexual Assault, and many others will be greatly diminished if not eradicated. It is my belief that when children graduate with these principles where they are taught RESPECT for themselves and others and to take RESPONSIBILITY for their actions. If children grow up with these values, I believe business and government would benefit greatly. Within a few generations this world would be a much better place to live in.
Males of the world should be very careful....things will be changing.
Thanks for the article
A woman is thought badly of in this day and age if she does use any type of sexual pleasure that does not include a man doing it for her...i.e. clitoral stimulation...there are fanatics out there that will think and say the worst things about women if they do not run and find a man or a woman to help them with their lives as far as sex....in fact I was accused of vile things by fanatic women because I thought of my former husband and our sex....so they said I was thinking of my stepson, because he looked so much like his father..exactly like his father in fact, my former husband,,,,,so when i did meet my stepson at age 20, I was shocked and realized the idiots and liars were just saying that to deny me my own non kid life......there are a bunch of crazies out there......I dated men...I was no closeted gay...and because I did not want to give myself over and over and over to different men as many women today have more men in three months than i had dated all of my life.....it does not mean I am a prig......it means I was not willing to give myself...not even to some stalker who thought I apparently liked him.....MY MOTHER SAID I WAS FINIKY WHEN I WAS YOUNG BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO DATE ANYONE I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH......AND I DID DATE ONE PERSON FOR A VERY SHORT TIME....BUT I MET SOMEONE FROM A TOWN NEARBY...AND THAT LASTED NOT TOO LONG BECAUSE I WANTED TO JOIN THE US NAVY........THIS HYSTERIA HAS TO STOP....YOUNGER WOMEN NEED TO KNOW THEY DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE SEX TO BE POPULAR
It's still with us! Not very long ago I saw a book in a gynecologist's office with the title of "Hysterical Diseases in Women". While we have made huge strides in equality and medical care in the last 200 years, we are still lagging so far behind men that it's frightening. If a woman goes to an emergency room in pain, her pain is often completely discounted as "whining" and she is usually sent home with instructions to take an over-the-counter pain killer. I personally know 2 women who died after being sent home with a diagnosis of "gas pain" (a heart attack) and "menstrual cramps" (a twisted bowel). A man in pain, on the other hand, can expect to receive prescription pain killers, further testing, a referral to a specialist, and possible even admission to the hospital "just to be sure". This flies in the face of logic, since women are demonstrably far more stoic and accepting of pain than are men. Most drug dosages are based on the size, muscle mass and hormones of a man, then just adjusted for weight when given to a woman. Consequently, women experience more side effects and sometimes "unheard of" side effects and reactions. Then she is blamed for them, she's just imagining things or is "hysterical". Medicine still has a long way to go to achieve equality of the sexes and unfortunately, current politics are taking us backwards instead of forward.
waiting to see how good this will be
It's an interesting subject and I will look forward to seeing the movie.
Sounds like an interesting premise for a movie.

Another attempt from Congressional Democrats to define the media faces a shaky future. If Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) is right, the so-called media "shield law" bill, which essentially segments application of the 1st Amendment to lock out citizen journalists while favoring members of the media establishment, will never see a floor vote – even though it has been awaiting action since last September.
The Free Flow of Information Act, which in its original version died in the 110th Congress, is designed to codify who is (and who isn't) protected from subpoenas, as well as who can be compelled to reveal their sources in court. Supported by media companies and opposed by bloggers, the bill seeks, for the first time, to augment 1st Amendment guarantees of free speech by affording card-carrying journalists the right to refuse to testify against sources, while denying independent reporters from all walks of life that same protection.
The bill is co-authored by Senators Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Lindesey Graham (R-S.C.), which probably tells you all you need to know. Schumer said last week the measure could come up for a Senate vote at any time, boasting that "we have the 60 votes" needed for passage.
Cornyn scoffed at that assertion this week, telling Breitbart Schumer doesn't have that kind of support for the vote – and he knows it:
He's bluffing, Cornyn retorts.
"If he had the votes to pass it, it already would have been passed," Cornyn says, adding, "This isn't about passing legislation, this is about distracting the public's attention and changing the subject from the failed policies of this administration. I think you could put this in that same category."
"…They want to pick and choose which journalists are covered," the Texan Republican told Breitbart News. "In other words, if you're a blogger they might not cover you, but if you work for the New York Times they might. Given the changes in the way we get information and the way we consume news, that really smacks to me in essence of government licensing who's an official 'journalist' for the purposes of a shield law and who's not. If there is one thing I can glean from the First Amendment, it is that government should not be in the business of licensing the news media."
That's a hard argument to rebut on the merits, and involving government in the business of defining its watchers doesn't make good political sense, either.
Indeed, in a midterm election year in which embattled Democrats and their moderate GOP peers need a rallying point to ensure they hang on to their incumbencies, it's a puzzling political strategy to push legislation that offends the sensibilities of a public already fed up with near-daily revelations of government infringements on their civil liberties.
Cornyn said he believes Senators who support the bill are clearly placing short-term, pet-issue politics ahead of both big-picture political strategizing and the good of the American people.
"Cornyn believes the bill's timing – and the administration's backing of it – appears to be aimed at alleviating criticism of the Justice Department's secret attainment of Associated Press phone conversations and the administration's similar actions against Fox News' James Rosen, among other media targeting," Breitbart reports.
"You remember when this [bill] was recently resurrected? It was essentially an attempt to deflect… from the Department of Justice and this administration… the criticism they were taking [from] James Rosen and other traditional journalists. So, I really question the timing of all of this," Cornyn said.

It means rugs. So when you see the hot chick in this video and call her an attractive oriental, you're actually saying she's a nice rug... and that just sounds stupid and weird...

Whither Argo? Blame Canada
Blame Canada, blame Canada
We need to form a full assault
it's Canada-s fault!
(From Blame Canada, from South Park: The Movie, nominated for Best Song at the 1999 Academy Awards,)
Say hello to awards season. On Jan. 10, the Academy Awards will announce the nominees for this year's Oscars. The Golden Globes air Jan. 13. Ben Affleck expects to hear his name called for Argo (Reel Beach, Beach Metro News, Oct. 9, 2012). If not, we know where he'll point a finger… BLAME CANADA!
Canadians laughed when Robin Williams and a bevy of prancing Mounties sang the satirical Blame Canada at the Oscars in 2000. We can take a joke, but Affleck isn't kidding when he attributes the backlash against Argo to pesky Canucks. According to Affleck, the charges of inaccuracy arose because Ken Taylor, the Canadian Ambassador who helped shelter six American 'house guests' and arranged for their escape from Iran in 1979, "got his feelings hurt." The Huffington Post reports that Taylor had originally been given full credit for the rescue and "has taken it upon himself to defend Canada's indispensable role in the episode."
"That sort of coloured the perception that the movie got some of the facts wrong," Affleck said.
Victor Garber, who portrays Taylor as a kindly innkeeper waiting to be saved by the CIA, added, "I'm sure he would have preferred if the movie had been, 'The Ken Taylor Story'."
These insulting comments are a far cry from Affleck's comments in Toronto at TIFF, saying "Argo is a thank you to Canada." Back in October Affleck called Taylor "a class act" whose "feathers weren't ruffled."
The Huffington Post article (Dec. 10) reports that to win the big awards, "you have to persuade members of the academy, often one by one, that the people spreading vicious innuendo about your movie are full of crap."
How dare Canadians suggest his movie is full of fiction, just because it is! Hollywood studios spend huge amounts (an estimated $500 million USD) to promote their products as serious award contenders. Affleck is fishing for Oscars and "true" is good bait. Argo has 'for your consideration' written all over it, heavily marketed as a "true story," a big part of its appeal. Otherwise, "it wouldn't seem really interesting." (Affleck)
Affleck's "first objective is to neutralize the notion that the film plays fast and loose with the facts." He evades questions about Argo's credibility. "My movie is-it's extremely accurate…you can't have a five-hour movie …but it was all true."
Well, 'true' except for all the completely made-up scenes (Mendez' drinking, his estranged family, his boss, a young son, the bicycle plan, the producer, buying a script, the table read with costumed extras, going into Iran alone, the Iranian maid, Mendez driving through crowds, the bazaar, everything at the airport, every suspense cliche thrown in, etc). Take out the fiction and Argo would be a 20 minute movie.
Affleck made the mistake of bringing his baby to Toronto for its big premiere. Taylor wasn't invited, but some Canadians knew that the fairy tale on screen had little to do with the actual events in Iran. The TIFF crowd cheered, but a few whispered that the emperor had no clothes. The controversy hit the media.
Ken Taylor was gracious and diplomatic in praising the cooperation of all those who helped rescue the Americans. After Taylor wrote a new postscript for the film, Affleck hoped it would end there. Then some media south of the border picked up the story. The Beach Metro News article was quoted and linked by a number of online journals, including Slant and Screenrant. Critics began to question Argo's credibility.
In Britain and New Zealand, diplomats were outraged at the blatant lie that "the Brits and Kiwis turned them away" when, in fact, they helped the six Americans in many ways. It was a New Zealander who woke Mendez up when he overslept, then drove him to Mehrabad Airport. It was a Canadian who conducted the fake interrogation and corrected the wrong date the CIA had forged in the passports. It was an Iranian who drove the six to the Tehran airport in a Canadian Embassy van. The Taylors bought the air tickets. Argo puts a lie in Taylor's mouth that Canada was about to close the Embassy. People are often shocked to hear the true story.
In fact, Mendez never took the six anywhere and the Argo portfolio never once had to be put into play, because no Iranian officials ever asked more than, "is this you?"
The six just left with Canadian passports. Hollywood smoke and mirrors had zero actual effect on the rescue, but phony wizards don't like it when you pull back the curtain. (Pay no attention to that little man!)
In November, Argo was the frontrunner for Best Picture and Director, but other real-life heroes in Lincoln and Zero Dark Thirty have stolen its thunder.
We must blame them and cause a fuss
Before somebody thinks of blaming us
Rest in Peace: John Sheardown, the unsung hero of the 'Canadian Caper' in Iran, died on Dec. 30 in an Ottawa veterans' hospital at age 88. In 1979, John and Zena Sheardown risked their own safety to shelter Americans who had escaped from the Embassy hostage situation. His son, Robin, has said the family was happy that his father's efforts were recognized by Windsor, declaring Nov. 10 'John Sheardown Day'. The movie Argo ignored Sheardown's contribution, but the six Americans know the true story. Commenting on Argo in October, Mark Lijek wrote to Screenrant:
"But the real difference between Argo and what happened to us is what's not in the movie. The courage, warmth and sheer friendliness and humanity of our Canadian hosts is at the top of the list. This article is the first I have seen to mention John Sheardown, a true hero and perhaps the indispensable man in this entire adventure. He was our initial point of contact with the Canadians. His enthusiastic 'Why didn't you call sooner?' may well have spelled the difference between our decision to accept his offer rather than continue on our own."

Stupid shot from Pietersen that. Would have been out against a competent fielding side, luckily we're playing Pakistan so that's a 6.
The Kieswetter stat is slightly worrying, but Lumb's is very good. You can expect batsmen to score off every delivery, so adding the 7 from 9 to the boundaries is impressive stuff. Sure Kieswetter will come good later in the tournament too. He was written off after 2 failures against Bangladesh but came back with a glorious century. I expect him to make to make a score of note very soon

I still say Pietersen should be opening in T20 cricket.
So England **** about as expected. As they ALWAYS do. Whether it's setting up a declaration in Tests or being 'smart' they piss about.
LOL atrocious from Akmal.
Ahh, still time for some crap fielding, C'mon England, as Scaly says this lack of impetus could be costly in the long run. Should already be over.
That's a couple of times now that Pietersen has followed up boundaries with 3 dots in a row.

Multi-country programs are unique because they allow students to encounter multiple countries, languages, and cultures within one, cohesive program and itinerary. IEP multi-country programs include relevant, historical and cultural excursions to compliment the taught lectures given by our experienced faculty members from Jacksonville University and partner institutions overseas. Additionally, multi-country programs allow students to gain a deeper perspective into the life of the local people.
Our Summer in Europe program houses students with local British and international students in the UK, and a local Spanish family in Valladolid, Spain.
Summer in the British Isles takes students on a journey from Liverpool, to London, to Dublin and more as they evaluate the performing arts in historical context and the rich literary legacy of English and Irish poets and authors.
Participants in IEP's Arts in Europe program earn credits by visiting and learning about the sites of Paris, France and Florence, Italy while honing skills in the fine arts. Additionally, students have the option to take French and Italian language classes from local professors.
Students who join the Summer in Peru and Mexico will undoubtedly improve their Spanish language and global perspective while experiencing the rich cultures and diverse landscapes of two UNESCO World Heritage sites: Oaxaca, Mexico and Cusco, Peru.
The combined experience of traveling, academic study, and interactive learning make multi-country programs an ideal option for study abroad students.

Oakland Raiders coach Dennis Allen said Monday he wouldn't disclose who the team's starting quarterback will be. But by the end of the day, his secret couldn't be kept.
The Raiders named Terrelle Pryor starting QB for the season opener against the Indianapolis Colts, league sources tell the San Francisco Chronicle.
MORE: Week 1 schedule | RG3 to start opener | Jets add Brady Quinn
Allen informed Pryor and Matt Flynn—who was competing for the job—he had made his decision Monday morning, but wasn't going to announce his choice for 'competitive reasons,' according to the report.
Allen has announced starters at left tackle, tight end, cornerback and punter but would not reveal who will start at quarterback in order to make the Colts prepare for both the athletic Pryor and the more stationary Flynn.
PHOTOS: NFL Cheerleaders
Pryor did take the first snap with the first-team offense during a drill in the portion of practice open to the media. Flynn is healthy after missing last week with a sore right elbow.
Allen has said the starter will be the quarterback who is best able to move the team and score points. In the preseason, that clearly was Pryor. The offense produced 32 points on 14 drives with Pryor at quarterback, compared to 10 points on 13 drives this preseason for Flynn. Flynn played mostly with and against starters, while Pryor was in mostly with second-team players.
With the ability to scramble when the protection breaks down and the speed to excel at the read-option game, Pryor gives Oakland a much-needed big-play option on an offense that lacks playmakers.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Plant used for/Hypoglycaemic
From EcoReality
Please add more about plants that are used for Hypoglycaemic here!
- Hypoglycaemic
- Reduces the levels of sugar in the blood.
For more information
Here is EcoReality's seed inventory for plants that are used as Hypoglycaemic:
|common name

|Astragalus; Huang-qi
|Astragalus membranaceus (dg fo pf wp)
|2013-04-28 00:00:00
|80 each seeds in
|Scarify seed lightly, and use rhizobium inoculant. Direct seed in early spring. Good cold soil germinator and a poor warm soil germinator. Germ in 3 to 10 days. Thin to 6 inches apart.
Seed best sown as soon as it is ripe in a cold frame. A period of cold stratification may help stored seed to germinate. Stored seed, and perhaps also fresh seed, should be pre-soaked for 24 hours in hot water before sowing - but make sure that you do not cook the seed. Any seed that does not swell should be carefully pricked with a needle, taking care not to damage the embryo, and re-soaked for a further 24 hours.
Germination can be slow and erratic but is usually within 4 - 9 weeks or more at 13°c if the seed is treated or sown fresh.As soon as it is large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in the greenhouse for their first winter, planting them out into their permanent positions in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts.
|Plant is a sturdy survivor, and prefers full sun, average soil, and good drainage.
Requires a dry well-drained soil in a sunny position. Prefers a sandy slightly alkaline soil. Plants are hardy to at least -15°c.Plants are intolerant of root disturbance and are best planted in their final positions whilst still small. Many members of this genus can be difficult to grow, this may be due partly to a lack of their specific bacterial associations in the soil.

|Taprooted herbaceous perennial native to China.
King of tonic herbs. It is an anabolic immunostimulant, that may be dried and ground up, then used for making tea, decoction, or tincture. As a fresh root, may be boiled in soup to release its life-supportive essence.
Plants flower yellow-white to 4 feet tall.
Huang Qi is commonly used in Chinese herbalism, where it is considered to be one of the 50 fundamental herbs.
The root is a sweet tonic herb that stimulates the immune system and many organs of the body, whilst lowering blood pressure and blood sugar levels. It is particularly suited to young, physically active people, increasing stamina and endurance and improving resistance to the cold - indeed for younger people it is perhaps superior to ginseng in this respect.
Huang Qi is used especially for treatment of the kidneys and also to avoid senility. The plant is often used in conjunction with other herbs such as Atractylodes macrocephala and Ledebouriella seseloides.
The root contains a number of bio-active constituents including saponins and isoflavonoids.
It is used in the treatment of cancer, prolapse of the uterus or anus, abscesses and chronic ulcers, chronic nephritis with oedema and proteinuria. Recent research in the West has shown that the root can increase the production of interferon and macrophages and thus help restore normal immune function in cancer patients. Patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy recover faster and live longer if given Huang Qi concurrently.The root of 4 year old plants is harvested in the autumn and dried for later use.

|Soak berries in water overnight, smash them, and remove the seeds. The easiest way to do this is to put the berries in a jar, pour water over them, let them sit over night, then in the morning pour through a sieve, smash the berries inside the sieve, then put the mashed berries in a bowl or small bucket of water, stir them around in the water, at which point the flesh will float and the seeds will sink. Pour off the majority of the water and the flesh of the berries, then in the very end pour the water and the seeds into a sieve that is lined with a paper towel. Allow this to drain, and you will now have the seeds on the paper towel, and you can proceed to scoop them up and plant them. Use your fingers or a spoon. Sow in fall or very early spring in outdoor conditions, in pots or flats, and expect germination in the spring. Alternatively, you may wish to remove the seeds from the fruits and then mix the seeds in moist medium in a sealed plastic bag or jar in the refrigerator (not the freezer) for 90 days, then remove from fridge and sow. The best conditions for germination are cool, moist shade. We find that this method is pretty reliable. Sow seeds in acid loam medium. Grow out in a shaded place in pots for a year before transplanting to final location.

|Scarify seed by rubbing on sandpaper. Pre-soak for 12 hours in warm water and then sow the seed in spring or autumn in a cold frame. Spring-sown seed can be slow to germinate, a period of cold stratification may improve the germination time. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and plant them out into their permanent positions in the summer. If you have sufficient seed, then it is possible to sow outdoors in situ in mid to late spring. DIVISION in spring or autumn. Larger clumps can be replanted direct into their permanent positions, though it is best to pot up smaller clumps and grow them on in a cold frame until they are rooting well. Plant them out in the spring.
|Plant prefers poor garden soil and full sun. Difficult to get this herb these days, and international trade and some domestic trade in this species has been disallowed due to the misconception that it is an invasive weed. I've found that it disappears without care. Succeeds in most soils but repays generous treatment. Prefers full sun and a deep moist soil but it also succeeds in light shade. Grows well even in poor soils. Plants are very tolerant of neglect and can be grown in quite coarse grass, which can be cut annually in the autumn. A long-lived plant, it can be invasive in good growing conditions.

|This is the most active of all galactagogue herbs. Promotes milk flow more reliably than anything I know (except childbirth). Works equally well for lactating human mothers and also domestic stock such as goats, horses and cows.
Goat's rue was once important in the treatment of plague, fevers and infectious diseases. It is still used in modern herbalism, though mainly for its effect in promoting milk-flow in lactating mothers (it has been shown to increase the flow of milk in cows and goats by 35 - 50%) and for its positive effect on the digestive system.
The plant contains galegine, an alkaloid that strongly reduces blood sugar levels which make it useful in the treatment of diabetes. The leaves and flowering tops are diaphoretic, diuretic, galactogogue and hypoglycaemic.
It has also been used in the treatment of fevers. It is taken internally to treat insufficient lactation, late-onset diabetes, pancreatitis and digestive problems, especially chronic constipation caused by a lack of digestive enzymes. The plant is harvested as it is just coming into flower and is dried for later use.
A fast-growing plant, it makes a good green manure crop, enriching the soil with organic matter and also fixing atmospheric nitrogen. The plant is used cosmetically in hand and foot bathes.Leaves cooked and eaten like spinach.

|Plant prefers full sun and fast-drying soils. High desert conditions are quite conducive. Goji plants are drought-tolerant.
Seeds lose viability when removed from fruit. Soak dried berries in water overnight and remove the seeds from the softened fruits in the morning and plant them. Use a sandy potting soil medium. Sow the seeds just beneath the surface, tamp in, and keep in strong light. Water well to start, but back off on watering after germination, which occurrs in 1 to 2 weeks. Pot up seedlings and plant out to the landscape only after they are well-established.
Grow in greenhouse for their first winter. Plant out in late spring or early summer. Pinch out the shoot tips of the young plants in order to encourage bushy growth.
Cuttings: half-ripe wood, 5 - 10cm with a heel if possible, July/August in individual pots in a frame. Good percentage. Cuttings of mature wood of the current season's growth, autumn to late winter in a cold frame. High percentage.
Division of suckers in late winter. Very easy, the suckers can be planted out direct into their permanent positions.
An easily grown plant, it does not require a rich soil, flowering and fruiting better in a well-drained soil of moderate quality. Succeeds in impoverished soils, but more fertile soils are best if the plant is being grown for its edible young shoots.
Requires a sunny position. Tolerates maritime exposure. There are some named varieties, selected for their ornamental value.Plants are very tolerant of pruning and can regrow from old wood. Any trimming is best carried out in the spring. Plants produce suckers freely and can become invasive when in a suitable position. Otherwise they can be difficult to establish.

|Goji berries are used fresh, juiced or (more commonly) dried and used like raisins.
They are a yin tonic, immune enhancing, and excellent for the overall health.
There is much confusion over the naming of this species. Most, if not all, of the plants being grown as L. chinense or L. europaeum are in fact this species.
Fruit: edible raw or cooked. The fruit is a berry about 2cm in diameter. A mild sweet liquorice flavour. Only the fully ripe fruits should be eaten.
Young shoots: edible cooked. Used mainly as a flavouring, they can also be lightly cooked for 3 - 4 minutes and used as a vegetable, the flavour is somewhat cress-like but has also been described as peppermint-like.
Leaves: wilt rapidly once they have been harvested; used as a tea substitute.
A sweet tonic decoction made from the fruits is used to lower blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels. It acts mainly on the liver and kidneys. The fruit is taken internally in the treatment of high blood pressure, diabetes, poor eyesight, vertigo, lumbago, impotence and menopausal complaints.
The fruit is harvested when fully ripe and is dried for later use.
The root bark is a bitter, cooling, antibacterial herb that controls coughs and lowers fevers, blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels. It is taken internally in the treatment of chronic fevers, internal haemorrhages, nosebleeds, tuberculosis, coughs, asthma etc. It is applied externally to treat genital itching. The bark is harvested in the winter and dried for later use.
The plant has a long history of medicinal use, both as a general, energy restoring tonic and also to cure a wide range of ailments from skin rashes and eyesight problems to diabetes. A tonic tea is made from the leaves.The fruit of many members of this genus is a very rich source of vitamins and minerals, especially in vitamins A, C and E, flavanoids and other bio-active compounds. It is also a fairly good source of essential fatty acids, which is fairly unusual for a fruit. It is being investigated as a food that is capable of reducing the incidence of cancer and also as a means of halting or reversing the growth of cancers.

Wisconsin students rank third nationally in ACT testsAugust 18, 2011 // 0 Comments
Wisconsin high school graduates scored third nationally on ACT college admissions scores in data released Wednesday (August 17, 2011), and a record number of them took the test.
Students' composite score of 22.2 ranked the state third nationally among ACT-taking states, the Department of Public Instruction said. The number of 2011 graduates who took the ACT test increased to 71 percent, up from 69 percent in 2010.
Mary Bell, a Wisconsin Rapids teacher and president of the Wisconsin Education Association Council, provided this statement on the favorable 2011 ACT scores:
"Wisconsin's ACT scores are high because Wisconsin's high-quality schools do an excellent job of preparing students for the future.
"In these times of extreme political polarization, we need to recognize and appreciate the fact that Wisconsin has many great and talented educators shaping our students' futures."

Bernard expects a fine Super50 tourney for Jamaica
Jermaine Lannaman, STAR Writer
Newly appointed Jamaica one-day captain, David Bernard Jr, says despite being without several key players, he believes the team has what it takes to reclaim the WICB NAGICO Insurance Super50 title.
The tournament, which bowls off on Thursday in Trinidad and Tobago, will see Jamaica fielding an under-strength team. Top batsmen Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels, leg-spinner Odean Brown, and in-form pace bowler Krishmar Santokie are all out with injuries.
Gayle is yet to recover from a hamstring injury, Samuels is recuperating following hand surgery, Brown from a knee surgery, while Santokie is experiencing back-related problems.
The team will also be without experienced batsmen Danza Hyatt and Brenton Parchment, who after average returns during Super50 trials were overlooked by the national selectors.
"I believe we have capable-enough players, and who can get the job done, and as captain, that is what I intend to do," said Bernard Jr.
"We have a fairly balanced squad, and in one-day cricket, that's what you need, and once each player play to the best of their ability, I know we can do well."
Jamaica, who are slated to depart the country today, will, in the absence of top batsmen Gayle and Samuels, bank on former captain, Tamar Lambert, André Russell, Bernard Jr, and Carlton Baugh Jr.
There is an unusually large number of young and emerging batsmen in the 14-member squad. These include Jermaine Blackwood, Nkrumah Bonner, Horace Miller, Andre McCarthy, Kennar Lewis, and John Campbell.
The team's bowling, meanwhile, will be led by recent West Indies recalls Nikita Miller and Russell, as well as Bernard Jr and Andrew Richardson. The bowling department is completed by the returning-from-injury Jerome Taylor, and young West Indies fast bowler Sheldon Cotterel.
"Every team has a good chance, and we will all start the tournament on a level playing field," Bernard Jr said.
"It will therefore boil down to how well we play on the day, and how well we play as a unit."
Jamaica, beaten at the semi-final stage last season, have been drawn been drawn in Zone A alongside defending champions Windward Islands, Guyana, and, guest team, Ireland.
The teams will play each other on a round-robin basis in each zone, with the top-two teams advancing to the semi-finals.
The final is scheduled for February 15 at Queen's Park Oval, which, along with Shaw Park in Tobago, are the two venues that will be used.

Here at we believe the opportunity exists for Americans to supplement their health and wellness regimens with naturally occurring cannabinoids derived from the industrial hemp plant stalk and seed. These natural cannabinoids, and particularly the one known as Cannabidiol or CBD have shown significant health and wellness benefits. CBD, a natural constituent of hemp oil, promotes and supports the nutritional and dietary health of aging bodies. Source: US Government Patent # 6,630,507.
Without admitting the therapeutic or potentially medicinal properties of cannabinoids, the US Government quietly holds a patent on the therapeutic use of cannabinoids. Known as the 507 patent, US Patent # 6,630,507 involves the research performed by the National Institutes of Health.
Your support allows us to continue our research and product development process, as well as supports a worldwide community of industrial hemp farmers and processors. Thank you so kindly for your interest in – products and ordering information is available through clicking on our tabs at the top.
Cannabidiol (CBD) a constituent of the hemp plant promotes and supports the dietary and nutritional health of aging bodies. US Government patent # 6,630,507
Industrial Hemp
Aside from the cannabinoids produced within our bodies and those found in industrial hemp, there are numerous other substances that have been found to react positively with the endocannabinoid system. These items include: cacao, black pepper, Echinacea, tumeric and even carrots. However the powerful cannabinoid extracts from the industrial hemp plant are the ones that will produce most closely those effects produced by the body's own cannabinoids http://csglobe.com/high-on-health-cannabinoids-in-the-food-supply/ . No downtime, no downside, no side-effects (maybe a little relaxation). Our product developers support sustainable and renewable industrial hemp in which one acre of hemp sequesters 2 tons of carbon from our atmosphere (source: Christopher J Boucher and Hempsteads.com).
If you seek health and wellness, dietary supplements with CBD / cannabidiol may be right for you.
Cannabidiol, Health, and Wellness
Cannabidiol exists within the hemp plant, as well as occurring naturally within the human body. In fact all mammalians produce cannabinoids and have an endo-cannabinoid system that regulates many natural internal functions http://csglobe.com/high-on-health-cannabinoids-in-the-food-supply/.

|The Game Story:
|ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. --- Junior Ryan McCafferty (Orlando, FL/Boone) scored a career-high seven goals as Elizabethtown College defeated Immaculata University 14-8 in non-conference men's lacrosse action on Saturday afternoon at Wolf Field.
Sophomore Keith Staulters (Ballston Spa, NY/Ballston Spa) and first-year student Greg Kenneally (Lutherville, MD/Loyola Blakefield) each added a goal and two assists for the Blue Jays (2-1 overall), who scored seven straight goals over a span of 18 minutes in the second half to earn the win over the Mighty Macs (0-2 overall).
The seven goals by McCafferty are tied for the second-best single-game performance in program history, behind the nine-goal effort of Sean Thomson against Misericordia University on March 13, 2002.
Elizabethtown jumped to an early 4-1 lead behind three goals from McCafferty, but Immaculata closed the first quarter with three goals in the final two minutes to knot the game at 4-4.
Staulters and McCafferty notched the lone goals of the second quarter to give the Blue Jays a 6-4 lead at halftime. After the Mighty Macs pulled within 6-5 in the first 90 seconds of the third quarter, Elizabethtown ran off seven straight goals, including three from McCafferty, to move ahead 13-5 with 8:05 remaining.
Sophomore Aaron Weber (Lititz, PA/Manheim Township) scored a goal and added an assist for Elizabethtown, while single goals came from sophomore Jon Day (Thornton, PA/Bishop Shanahan), sophomore Chris Senese (Leonardtown, MD/Unionville), first-year student Kurt Deschner (Kelowna, BC/Kelowna Secondary) and first-year student Ben Landis (Talmage, PA/Conestoga Valley).
Patrick Durso and Geoff Lorentz led Immaculata with two goals apiece, while Jim Baranello and Brendan Dinneen each posted a goal and an assist.
Elizabethtown finished with a dominating 56-22 edge in shots and collected 45 ground balls to Immaculata's 30. Sophomore Chris Day (Thornton, PA/Bishop Shanahan) led all players with seven ground balls for the Blue Jays, while Jon Day went 8-for-13 on faceoffs and first-year student Brent Campbell (Baltimore, MD/Mt. St. Joseph) finished 7-for-10 on draws.
The Blue Jays were successful on 4-of-6 extra-man opportunities, while the Mighty Macs went 1-for-4 with the man advantage.
Senior Chris Schuch (Columbia, PA/Hempfield) played the first 56 minutes in goal for Elizabethtown and finished with seven saves, while Andrew Sim turned in a strong effort for Immaculata with 22 saves.

Abstract: This study describes lag sequential analysis and its unique contributions to the research literature addressing communication processes in school-based consultation. By assessing the statistical probabilities of sequences and patterns of consultant and consultee behaviors, this tool opens a new and important array of research possibilities. The results of lag sequential analysis are likened to "moving pictures" in comparison to the more static "still photographs" derived from prior research methodologies limited largely to analyzing summative information (e.g., the percentage of statements made during a session that were specifications). For the purposes of demonstrating the application and potential utility of lag sequential analysis, the communication behaviors of two consultants are analyzed using data gathered from twenty 15-min problem identification interviews. Directions for future research are considered.

The life of Pi - clever ideas with a tiny computer. 21 March 2013Last updated at 10:05 ET While the Chancellor was delivering his budget yesterday, I was in a room near Cambridge full of young people who may be part of the answer to Britain's economic future.
They had all come up with clever ideas to use the Raspberry Pi, the ultra-cheap computer developed in Cambridge, and they were the finalists in a competition held by the technology advisors PA Consulting. I was one of the judges deciding who should win - and it was a tricky task. Raspberry Pi launches its very own app store. Anybody who's anybody has their own app store these days, so why shouldn't the team behind the Raspberry Pi have one too? The tiny and inexpensive Linux-based PC has today gained the Pi Store, accessible from the web or via a standalone app for Raspbian.
So far it looks to be slim pickings with only 23 free titles, but the team is hoping that it will grow into a resource that offers developer tools as well as more consumer-oriented titles. Learn to build a Raspberry Pi operating system, courtesy of Cambridge University. The $25 or $35 Raspberry Pi computer is a favorite of coders, who've turned it into a synth and embedded it in a camera grip among other things.
Now, the Pi is getting attention from the University of Cambridge Computer Lab. Alex Chadwick, one of a group of students working with Pis at Cambridge over the summer, has published a guide to coding basic operating systems for the computer. "Baking Pi" is meant to help incoming freshmen get familiar with basic computer science before starting school, but it's freely available to everyone. Android 4.0 ported to Raspberry Pi, supports HD video but not audio.
A working version of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich has been ported to the credit card-sized Raspberry Pi computer, allowing the $25 device to perform many of the functions of a modern smartphone or tablet, albeit at a somewhat slower pace.
According to a post on the project's official blog, the build supports hardware-accelerated video and graphics, but is not yet able to play sound due to problems with porting Android's AudioFlinger system. As Eurogamer points out, it's not the first attempt to get Android up and running on the device — the Raspberry Pi community has been working on ports of CyanogenMod 7.2 (based on Android 2.3) and CyanogenMod 9 (based on Android 4.0) for some time.

FishPi is a tiny, Raspberry Pi-enabled ship that aims to cross the Atlantic. Now that Raspberry Pi's are getting into the hands of folks around the world, we're starting to see all kinds of interesting projects.
And in the case of Greg Holloway, his goal is a little more ambitious than most — to use a Raspberry Pi to create an autonomous vehicle that will cross the Atlantic Ocean. The aptly named FishPi project is currently in the proof of concept phase, but the final version will be powered by a 130 watt solar panel and includes features like a GPS, servo controller board for driving the rudder and motor, a compass, and a camera. The current test version is 20-inches long and features the Raspberry Pi itself housed in a plastic sandwich container. There's no word yet on when the FishPi will be ready to take to the seas, but eventually Holloway hopes to create kits so that students and hobbyists can easily create their own autonomous water vehicles.

Grand Haven was no match for No. 3-ranked Grandville in Game 1 of Tuesday's O-K Red doubleheader, but the Buccaneers gave the Bulldogs a scare in Game 2.
After losing the opener, 15-0 in five innings, the Bucs fought back and lost Game 2 by an 8-3 score.
Errors, which have plagued the Buccaneers all year, were once again extremely costly in Game 1 as the Bucs committed 15 defensive miscues, including several in the opening two innings, allowing the Bulldogs race to a 13-0 lead.
R.J. Morrow pitched the opener for the Bucs, who loaded the bases with just one out in the bottom of the fourth inning but failed to push a run across the plate.
In Game 2, Kaylee Hartwell get the start in the pitcher's circle for the Bucs, then Audrey Boersen closed out the game.
The Bucs cut their errors in half, committing only eight in Game 2.
Cierra Slocum had a base hit that scored R.J. Morrow while Kaylee Hartwell and Jordan Buckingham each scored runs for Grand Haven.
The Buccaneers have yet to win a league game this winter while the Bulldogs sit atop the conference standings with a 10-1 mark.

Ashkenazy conducts Rachmaninov
Tuesday 3 Nov 2015, 7.30pm
Symphony Hall, Birmingham
Frédéric François Chopin or Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist. He is widely considered one of the greatest Romantic composers. Chopin was born in Żelazowa Wola, a village in the Duchy of Warsaw. A renowned child-prodigy pianist and composer, he grew up in Warsaw and completed his music education there; he composed many of his mature works in Warsaw before leaving Poland in 1830 at age 20, shortly before the November 1830 Uprising.
Following the Russian suppression of the Uprising, he settled in Paris as part of Poland's Great Emigration. During the remaining 19 years of his life, Chopin gave only some 30 public performances, preferring the more intimate atmosphere of the salon; he supported himself by selling his compositions and teaching piano. After some romantic dalliances with Polish women, including an abortive engagement, from 1837 to 1847 he carried on a relationship with the French writer Amantine Dupin, aka George Sand. For most of his life Chopin suffered from poor health; he died in Paris in 1849 at age 39.
The vast majority of Chopin's works are for solo piano, though he also wrote two piano concertos, a few chamber pieces and some songs to Polish lyrics. His piano works are often technically demanding, with an emphasis on nuance and expressive depth. Chopin invented the instrumental ballade and made major innovations to the piano sonata, mazurka, waltz, nocturne, polonaise, étude, impromptu, scherzo and prélude.

Modern Family actress Sofia Vergara opened up about her romantic life, claiming she is "very happy."
Recent reports have confirmed a romantic relationship between Vergara and True Blood alum Joe Manganiello. While neither of the celebs have commented on the relationship, Vergara opened up about her love life, hinting about the possibility of a relationship now that her career is in a good place.
"I have a television show that has been successful for the past five years," Vergara told People. "And it's allowed me to do all the things I've wanted to do with my career. It's been a lot of fun these past five years."
The cast of Modern Family jokingly tweeted about Vergara and Manganiello's relationship, with Jesse Tyler Ferguson stating that he is the one dating Vergara and Eric Stonestreet claiming Manganiello for himself.
However, the Modern Family actress later added, "I'm very happy romantically. It couldn't be better!"
ABC's Modern Family concluded its fifth season in the spring and will be returning in the fall for a sixth season.
