Maclura pomifera, commonly called Osage orange, hedge apple,[1] horse apple, monkey ball,[2] bois d'arc, bodark, or bodock[3] is a small deciduous tree or large shrub, typically growing to 8–15 metres (26–49 ft) tall. It is dioecious, with male and female flowers on different plants. The fruit from a multiple fruit family, is roughly spherical, but bumpy, and 7.6–15 centimetres (3–6 in) in diameter. It is filled with a sticky white latex. In fall, its color turns a bright yellow-green. It is not closely related to the orange: Maclura belongs to the mulberry family, Moraceae, while oranges belong to the family Rutaceae.[4][5]
Maclura is closely related to the genus Cudrania, and hybrids between the two genera have been produced. In fact, some botanists recognize a more broadly defined Maclura that includes species previously included in Cudrania and other genera of Moraceae.
Osajin and pomiferin are flavonoid pigments present in the wood and fruit, comprising about 10% of the fruit's dry weight. The plant also contains the flavonol morin.
The trees range from 40 to 60 feet (12–18 m) high with short trunk and round-topped head. The juice is milky and acrid. The roots are thick, fleshy, covered with bright orange bark.
The leaves are arranged alternately in a slender growing shoot 3–4 feet (0.91–1.2 m) long, varying from dark to pale tender green. In form they are very simple, a long oval terminating in a slender point. In the axil of every growing leaf is found a growing spine which when mature is about 1 inch (2.5 cm) long, and rather formidable. The pistillate and staminate flowers are on different trees; both are inconspicuous; but the fruit is very much in evidence. This in size and general appearance resembles a large, yellow green orange; only its surface is roughened and tuberculated. It is, in fact, a compound fruit such as botanists call a syncarp, in which the carpels (that is, the ovaries) have grown together; thus, the great orange-like ball is not one fruit but many. It is heavily charged with milky juice which oozes out at the slightest wounding of the surface. Although the flowering is dioecious, the pistillate tree even when isolated will bear large oranges, perfect to the sight but lacking the seeds.
- Bark: Dark, deeply furrowed, scaly. Branchlets at first bright green, pubescent, during first winter they become light brown tinged with orange, later they become a paler orange brown. Branches with yellow pith, and armed with stout, straight, axillary spines.
- Wood: Bright orange yellow, sapwood paler yellow; heavy, hard, strong, flexible, capable of receiving a fine polish, very durable in contact with the ground. It has a specific gravity of 0.7736 and 1 cubic foot (0.028 m3) of the wood has a weight of 48.21 lb (21.87 kg).
- Winter buds: All buds lateral. Depressed-globular, partly immersed in the bark, pale chestnut brown.
- Leaves: Alternate, simple, 3–5 inches (7.6–13 cm) long, 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) wide, ovate to oblong-lanceolate, entire, acuminate, or acute or cuspidate, rounded, wedge-shaped or subcordate at base. Feather-veined, midrib prominent. They come out of the bud involute, pale bright green, pubescent and tomentose, when full grown are thick, firm, dark green, shining above, paler green below. In autumn they turn a clear bright yellow. Petioles slender, pubescent, slightly grooved. Stipules small, caducous.
- Flowers: June, when leaves are full grown; dioecious. Staminate flowers in racemes, borne on long, slender, drooping peduncles developed from the axils of crowded leaves on the spur-like branchlets of the previous year. Racemes are short or long. Flowers pale green, small. Calyx hairy, four-lobed. Stamens four, inserted opposite lobes of calyx, on the margin of thin disk; filaments flattened, exerted; anthers oblong, introrse, two-celled; cells opening longitudinally; ovary wanting. Pistillate flowers borne in a dense globose many-flowered head which appears on a short stout peduncle, axillary on shoots of the year. Calyx, hairy, four-lobed; lobes thick, concave, investing the ovary, and inclosing the fruit. Ovary superior, ovate, compressed, green, crowned by a long slender style covered with white stigmatic hairs. Ovule solitary.
- Fruit: Pale green globe, 4–5 inches (10–13 cm) in diameter, made up of numerous small drupes, crowded and grown together. These small drupes are oblong, compressed, rounded, often notched at the apex. They are filled with milky, latex-based juice. The seeds are oblong. The fruit is often seedless, and floats.[6]
Osage orange occurred historically in the Red River drainage of Oklahoma, Texas, and Arkansas and in the Blackland Prairies, Post Oak Savannas, and Chisos Mountains of Texas.[7] It has been widely naturalized in the United States and Ontario. The largest Osage orange tree is located at River Farm, in Alexandria, Virginia, and is believed to have been a gift from Thomas Jefferson.[8] Two other historic trees can be located on the grounds of Fort Harrod, a Kentucky pioneer settlements in Harrodsburg, Kentucky, and the American Horticultural Society's River Farm in Alexandria, Virginia.[9]
Ecological aspects[edit]
The fruit is not poisonous and humans can generally eat it without ill effects, but it is considered inedible due to the texture and taste, which has been described as chemical-like. Exposure to frost improves the flavor, which becomes cucumber-like. The seeds of the fruit are edible and it is sometimes torn apart by squirrels to get at the seeds, but few other native animals make use of it as a food source. This is unusual, as most large fleshy fruit serves the function of seed dispersal by means of its consumption by large animals. One recent hypothesis is that the Osage orange fruit was eaten by a giant ground sloth that became extinct shortly after the first human settlement of North America. Other extinct Pleistocene megafauna, such as the mammoth, mastodon and gomphothere, may have fed on the fruit and aided in seed dispersal.[10][11] An equine species that went extinct at the same time also has been suggested as the plant's original dispersal agent because modern horses and other livestock will sometimes eat the fruit.[12] While Osage orange may have once spanned the breadth of eastern North America, by historical times, the tree's range in pre-Columbian times was limited to the Red River basin both due to the loss of seed-dispersing animals and exploitation by Native American tribes for bow-making. The wood was highly prized for this purpose, and natives were known to travel hundreds of miles to acquire it.
It prefers a deep and fertile soil but it has great powers of adaptation and is hardy over most of the contiguous United States, where it is extensively used as a hedge plant. It needs severe pruning to keep it in bounds and the shoots of a single year will grow 3–6 feet (0.91–1.8 m) long. A neglected hedge will soon become fruit-bearing. It is remarkably free from insect enemies and fungal diseases.[6] A thornless male cultivar of the species exists and is vegetatively reproduced for ornamental use.[7] Across the world, Maclura pomifera is cultivated in Italy, former Yugoslavia, Romania, former USSR, and India.[13]
The Osage orange is commonly used as a tree row windbreak in prairie states, which gives it one of its colloquial names, "hedge apple". It was one of the primary trees used in President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's "Great Plains Shelterbelt" WPA project, which was launched in 1934 as an ambitious plan to modify weather and prevent soil erosion in the Great Plains states, and by 1942 resulted in the planting of 30,233 shelterbelts containing 220 million trees that stretched for 18,600 miles (29,900 km).[14] The sharp-thorned trees were also planted as cattle-deterring hedges before the introduction of barbed wire and afterward became an important source of fence posts. In 2001, its wood was used in the construction in Chestertown, Maryland of the Schooner Sultana, a replica of the HMS Sultana (1768).[15]
The heavy, close-grained yellow-orange wood is very dense and is prized for tool handles, treenails, fence posts, and other applications requiring a strong dimensionally stable wood that withstands rot.[16] Straight-grained osage timber (most is knotty and twisted) makes very good bows. In Arkansas, in the early 19th century, a good Osage bow was worth a horse and a blanket.[6] Additionally, a yellow-orange dye can be extracted from the wood, which can be used as a substitute for fustic and aniline dyes. When dried, the wood has the highest BTU content of any commonly available North American wood, and burns long and hot.[17][18] At present, florists use the Maclura pomifera fruits for decorative purposes.[19]
Although Osage oranges are commonly believed to repel insects, there is insufficient evidence to support this. Research has shown that compounds extracted from the fruit, when concentrated, may repel insects. However, the naturally occurring concentrations of these compounds in the fruit are far too low to make the fruit an effective insect repellent.[20][21][22] In 2004, the EPA insisted that a website selling Maclura pomifera fruits online removed any mentions of their supposed pesticidal properties as false advertisements.[19]
Wighteone, an isoflavone, can be found in M. aurantiaca.[23]
The earliest account of the tree in the English language was given by William Dunbar, a Scottish explorer, in his narrative of a journey made in 1804 from St. Catherine's Landing on the Mississippi River to the Ouachita River.[6] It was a curiosity when Meriwether Lewis sent some slips and cuttings to President Jefferson in March 1804. According to Lewis's letter, the samples were donated by "Mr. Peter Choteau, who resided the greater portion of his time for many years with the Osage Nation," they didn't take, but later the thorny Osage orange tree was widely naturalized throughout the U.S.[24] In 1810, Bradbury relates that he found two trees growing in the garden of Pierre Chouteau, one of the first settlers of St. Louis, apparently the same person.[6]
The trees acquired the name bois d'arc, or "bow-wood", from early French settlers who observed the wood being used for war clubs and bow-making by Native Americans.[6] Meriwether Lewis was told that the people of the Osage Nation, "So much ... esteem the wood of this tree for the purpose of making their bows, that they travel many hundreds of miles in quest of it."[25] Many modern archers assert the wood of the Osage orange is superior even to English Yew for this purpose, though this opinion is by no means unanimous. The trees are also known as "bodark" or "bodarc" trees, most likely originating from a corruption of "bois d'arc." The Comanches also used this wood for their bows.[26] It was popular with them because it was strong, flexible and durable, and was common along river bottoms of the Comanchería.
Maclura pomifera is named in honor of William Maclure (1763-1840), a Scottish-born American geologist and educational reformer. President of the American Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia for 22 years. Maclure made major contributions to his field, including the first true geological map of any part of North America, and was a strong advocate of universal education, especially for women.

Jordana Brewster Movies
A young actress with dark-haired good looks and a strong personality,
Jordana Brewster
was born in Panama City, Panama, on April 26, 1980; her father, Alden Brewster, is a successful investment banker, while her mother, Maria Jaao, is a former model whose resumé includes an appearance in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. Mr. Brewster's career dictated a certain amount of traveling, so
lived in London, England, until age six, then spent four years in Rio de Janeiro, before settling in New York City at age ten. While studying at the New York Professional Children's School,
was bitten by the acting bug, and at the age of 15 she landed the role of Nikki Graves on the soap opera As the World Turns. The same year,
was also cast in a supporting role on another soap, All My Children; her run on All My Children was less than a year, but she continued to appear on As the World Turns until 1998. 1998 also marked
's big-screen debut as the sharp-tongued Delilah in the teen horror opus
The Faculty
, while a year later she was cast in a showy role in the popular miniseries
The '60s
. After graduating from high school,
was accepted at Yale, but took time off from her studies to resume her acting career, appearing in two films in 2001, including the box-office blockbuster
The Fast and the Furious
. While subsequent roles in D.E.B.S. and Annapolis found the emerging actress climbing the credits list with impressive ease, the fact that both films went laregely unseen after receiving only lukewarm reception did little to slow the determined Brewster down. In 2006 the actress prepared to do battle with one of the most notorious villains in screen history as she took an ill-advised turn down an unmarked road in the horror sequel The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. She returned to the role of Mia Toretto in both 2009's Fast & Furious and 2011's Fast Five. ~ Rovi

Bear witness to the birth of the most horrifying legend in the history of cinema as director Jonathan Liebesman explores the nightmarish origins of the psychotic Hewitt family in this sequel to director Marcus Nispel's 2003 hit The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The year is 1969, and despite the fact that the Vietnam War is raging halfway across the globe, all is ominously quiet on the back roads of America. Eighteen-year-old Dean Hill (Taylor Handley) has just received his draft notice, and his older brother, Eric (Matthew Bomer), is determined to watch out for his younger sibling by ensuring that Dean enroll in the Marine Corps rather than risking his luck at the local induction center. Dean has other plans, though, and as soon as the pair and their girlfriends, Bailey (Diora Baird) and Chrissie (Jordana Brewster), return from their final fling in sunny Texas, he plans to confront his brother with the prospect of dodging the draft. When an unsettling encounter with malevolent bikers Holden (Lee Tergesen) and Alex (Cyia Batten) results in a serious car accident in which Chrissie is thrown from the vehicle, the arrival of Sheriff Hoyt (R. Lee Ermey) at first appears to be a moment of divine intervention. However, when Sheriff Hoyt murders thieving Alex in cold blood and then shepherds her friends into the back of his police cruiser as Chrissie watches from the brush, their momentary reprieve soon gives way to an unimaginable terror. As Hoyt transports her ailing friends to the Hewitt home, where a childlike man named Thomas is currently undergoing the transformation into cannibalistic madman Leatherface (Andrew Bryniarski), a desperate Chrissie attempts to enlist the aid of Holden in rescuing her friends from a fate worse than death. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Miramax Films darlings Robert Rodriguez and screenwriter Kevin Williamson teamed up for a high-school alien-horror film that they described as The Breakfast Club meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Dilapidated Herrington High is the location for a story about a school faculty taken over by outer-space creatures, forcing the students to take charge and kick some alien butt. School faculty members (Robert Patrick, Bebe Neuwirth, Salma Hayek, and Jon Stewart) are infested with rapidly reproducing space worms that take over their minds and bodies. But never fear, because at this school, between hazing the student body and having sex in the locker room, a Scooby-Doo-ish group of high school students is ready to fight back. The up-and-coming acting talent includes R&B singer Usher Raymond, Elijah Wood, Clea DuVall, Josh Hartnett, Shawn Hatosy, Laura Harris, and Jordanna Brewster. The story is nearly irrelevant, as the real stars are the action and lots of special effects. ~ Arthur Borman, Rovi

A poor but ambitious young man strives to make good in one of the most competitive institutions on Earth in this military drama. Jake Huard (James Franco) is a young man from a small Maryland town who grew up in a blue-collar family with few opportunities. Wanting to make something of himself after completing high school, Jake set his sights on attending the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, where he narrowly makes the cut and becomes one of the 1,200 applicants selected for the freshman class. Jake finds that life as a "plebe" is intellectually challenging and physically punishing, and he soon develops a powerful adversary in Midshipman Lt. Cole (Tyrese Gibson), his training commander, who pushes Jake to the limit to see if he has what it takes. Standing on the razor's edge of failing as both a student and a soldier, Jake makes a brave but dangerous gesture toward proving himself by entering the Brigade Championships, a Naval boxing competition where he'll go into the ring against the best fighters in the Navy -- including Lt. Cole. Jake soon has one person on his side when he strikes up a friendship with Ali (Jordana Brewster), a pretty young officer who believes Jake has what it takes to go the distance. Annapolis also stars Donnie Wahlberg, Chi McBride, and Vicellous Shannon; the film was directed by Justin Lin, who debuted with the acclaimed independent feature Better Luck Tomorrow. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Originally aired as a two-part miniseries on NBC, The 60's follows two families whose lives mirror much of the political and social tumult of that decade. The Herlihys are a working class family from Chicago whose three children take wildly divergent paths: Brian (Jerry O'Connell) joins the Marines right out of High School and goes to Vietnam, Michael (Josh Hamilton) becomes involved in the civil rights movement and after campaigning for Bobby Kennedy and Eugene McCarthy becomes involved in radical politics, and Katie (Julia Stiles) gets pregnant, moves to San Francisco and joins a hippie commune. Meanwhile, the Taylors are an African-American family living in the deep South. When Willie Taylor (Charles S. Dutton), a minister and civil rights organizer, is shot to death, his son Emmet (Leonard Roberts) moves to the city and eventually joins the Black Panthers, serving as a bodyguard for Fred Hampton (David Alan Grier). The 60's incorporates much newsreel footage from the era in an attempt to give the proceedings a greater realism, as well as a soundtrack of many popular songs of the era, including a new recording of Bob Dylan's Chimes Of Freedom by Dylan and Joan Osborne. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

It's worth noting that he's talking about a restructure as opposed to a pay cut, so skids may not exactly be greased by Samuel's stance. Still, it's a start in the right direction. The Lions had a deal on the table for Samuel last summer. The Inquirer also floats the Titans, Bucs, Chargers, and Browns as potential trade partners."

Now I I don't think so I think that anybody including Ellen Ratner over the weekend on FOX News Watch said look into the liberals said it was wrong for probably to get up there -- get on the field of the war and and trying and tackle.
Mitt Romney -- I think Bob Schieffer who I think is it a good guy and a gentleman.
Has a choice to make tonight if he is like you Jim Lehrer in the first debate.
Which is safe -- -- call that play its low key and mild.
Then he'll get clobbered by the mainstream media whereas Candy Crowley we mentioned and Martha Raddatz who -- moderate the vice presidential debate.
-- more much more in the face of the Republican.
Presidential or vice presidential nominee is and they've been lauded.
CNN's actually doing ads praising -- I left out how proud they are ever ends I think that's achievers choice has got -- -- look I wanna go low -- and get clobbered like got a letter.
Are -- wanna get in the face of -- -- Mitt Mitt Romney be phrased -- -- his choice let's take another look at that Candy -- moment -- I know you have some thoughts on it here it is.
Let me let me if they call -- an active here and allowed it and it -- it.
He did.
College active terror it did as well.
Take it it is well take -- two weeks or so for the whole idea of their being a -- out there about this tape.
But to come out you're correct this that.
Alan you don't have a problem with what -- got a -- haywire if you actually back up to take a little bit -- -- the Mitt Romney who's basically Candy Crowley space.
And -- challenging her on that particular point.
-- she was responding to Mitt Romney who I thought was quite aggressive back up I was actually acting like a bully and that debate but the and a demanding time that was not necessarily has so.
It it was.
She -- he was in her face and she was responding to him addressing her -- I didn't have a public.
That the of this.
The point that I've made before though is that -- -- -- -- -- Mitt Romney first and addressed to the president said you know you called an act of terror the president had an opportunity to answer really -- and well he didn't and I like you actually had checked the transcript of -- if in fact shows they called it an act of terror if he did the same that the same thing the next day.
In that Denver so.
In fact she was right on the facts there but he was challenging Candy Crowley at that point -- she was responding to him being her base I -- I saw a look this idea of attacking the moderator -- -- cheaper as of right.
The losing team -- the losing person seems to attack the moderator and and let's not go when it there were attacking Candy Crowley.
Before that the debate even well place.
Alan Alan here let us to preserve protect about my future here here's a book but I actually dug out of my whole library at moments from 1989.
-- Bob Schieffer trying to co -- has called -- the title the book is the acting president.
Ronald Reagan and so supporting players who helped him create the illusion.
That he had that he held America -- -- Allusions spellbound.
Actor this is you know this is not to say this is and horrible but I just it just means that -- to you or do the liberal mindset.
That ray did it take example of another a previous Republican president -- the new satellite editor's note along YouTube does and it and that's that's why SE could actually co wrote co author of that book with I got -- -- -- -- -- CBS has also wrote all of Dan -- -- you use a -- a little bit about where.
It was coming -- and 1989 book now you've decided that five cheaper will not be a fair and balanced moderator.
I think it has got its forty year record as CBS -- to answer for a while I've not got very very good record as a matter of fact I think both sides have been pretty praiseworthy about -- not -- -- -- the guy out for the -- -- -- -- -- the history is worth noting that I've been -- done things for granted I don't know what they label you as well subject.

Low Price Guarantee
Comment: Sure, because of the low price I wasn't expecting a high quality, good looking piece of clothing, but because it was so cheap, I decided to just try it. WOW. I don't know how they can sell this vest for so little! You're looking at at LEAST double the price in a department store! The quality is FANTASTIC and the "Size Chart" is spot on. Delivery went super fast and without a hitch! I really can't believe what a great deal this is, and TRUST me, I'm a skeptic. Hahaha I could not recommend this vest MORE HIGHLY!!!
Stockton, Ca
Comment: If you like to ride, and you need some concealment whatever the reason, these are very good for just that. I use these to ride to work and back. I like the numerous colors. These are button up vest, but it takes only one button to keep your vest close and secure. When ordering I would order the next size up, since I made the mistake of ordering a size too small. So if you are a large order extra large, etc. I'd rate these a four out of five.
Miami, Florida
Comment: I followed the instructions and ordered a smaller size than normal because I will just wear a t-shirt under the vest. Wrong move! The vests (i had ordered two) were slightly too small at my waist (44 chest, 38 waist). I returned the vests for a 2XL, and they fit fine. All in all, I like the vests, and plan to get a lot of miles out of them. They are the perfect weight for Southern California, most of year.

Nothing changes now, but an all-new 2014 Outlander model is expected to debut by the end of 2013...more
My, how times change. Once, Mitsubishi's U.S. portfolio was hinged on SUVs; today, the Outlander is the company's only remaining sport-utility. It might share its architecture with the Outlander Sport, but there's no mistaking the two when placed side by side. The Outlander is a larger, more mature, and arguably more-family-friendly offering. A 2.4-liter four-cylinder powers the base ES and midlevel SE trims—the latter available with front- or all-wheel drive. Mated with a continuously variable transmission, the four-cylinder can deliver up to 28 mpg on the highway in front-wheel-drive form, but with nearly 3400 pounds of mass to move, acceleration suffers somewhat. We'd recommend stepping up to the GT, which is the only Outlander that offers six-cylinder power. A 3.0-liter V-6 provides an adequate 230 hp and is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Interestingly, opting for all-wheel drive on a GT model ushers in Mitsubishi's S-AWC driveline. Also found in the Lancer Evolution, this system can vector torque between the rear wheels, improving traction and cornering. We'd love to see a little more sophistication in terms of interior packaging and design, and perhaps that will happen sooner rather than later. Mitsubishi has said that an all-new Outlander will join its lineup later in 2013 as a 2014 model.
Front, side, and side curtain air bags for the first and second rows; ABS; traction and stability control; a security alarm; and tire-pressure monitoring are standard.

He returns to his own people, leaving his wife to raise their son by himself. Seven years later Kennedy returns to Sydney, hoping for a reunion with his 12-year-old son. But first he must run the gauntlet of legal obstacles set up by the justifiably embittered Leith. Short Changed was scripted by Robert J. Merritt, himself an aborigine. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

It is a simple thing that police officer Tony Bourke has to do to regain his detective status. All he has to do is go to a remote outback town and clear the local police of any wrongdoing in the shooting of an Aboriginal suspect. After all, he himself recently suffered from being demoted because of an accidental shooting he committed while on the job. Nothing could be easier, except for one irritating little fact, which his superiors have ignored: Tony actually believes in the laws of the land. He is not prepared to whitewash the white cop's misdeeds (if that's what they are) just because they have been committed against a person of color. In this painful social drama, the tensions caused by discrimination in Australia are skillfully highlighted. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Director Kenneth Branagh's interpretation of Mary Shelley's classic horror novel stars Robert DeNiro as a terrifying monster created in an obsessive attempt to defeat death and stretch the limits of medicine in the early 19th century. With the use of flashback, a dying Dr. Viktor Frankenstein (Kenneth Branagh) divulges a tale of gruesome terror to a sea captain (Aidan Quinn): As a medical student, the rebellious Frankenstein elaborates on the work of a brilliant scientist (John Cleese), successfully bringing to life a "man" assembled from the body parts of corpses. Upon realizing the destructive consequences of his experiment, Dr. Frankenstein abandons the creature and attempts to return to a normal life with his medical partner, Henry (Tom Hulce), and his fiancée (and adopted sister), Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter). In the meantime, the nameless creature struggles with loneliness and rejection from society until he sets out to track down his creator in search of one of two things: a bride to keep him company or revenge. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994) was produced by Francis Ford Coppola, who previously directed and produced monster-drama Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). ~ Lisa Kropiewnicki, Rovi

A portrait of a cold-blooded young gangster living and loathing in 1960s London, this drama features Malcolm McDowell in a major role in his first British picture in years. McDowell opens the film as the present day Gangster 55, who learns that an old associate, gangster Freddie Mays (David Thewlis), has just been released from prison after serving a 30-year sentence. The story then flashes back to 1968, when the young Gangster 55 (Paul Bettany) makes Mays' acquaintance and subsequently wins his trust by dealing with his enemies from a rival gang. The relationship between the two men is threatened when Mays falls for Karen (Saffron Burrows), a no-nonsense dancer. When 55 learns that Lennie (Jamie Foreman), a rival gang leader, plans to ambush Mays and Karen one night, he pits the two gangs against one another so that he can emerge as Gangster No. 1. The film was directed by Paul McGuigan, who previously examined the crusty underbelly of British society with his screen adaptation of Irvine Welsh's The Acid House (1998). ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

Add Reign of Fire to top of Queue
Medieval fantasy meets futuristic science fiction in this effects-heavy action epic from former X-Files director Rob Bowman. In present-day London, 12-year-old Quinn Abercromby witnesses the awakening of a hibernating dragon from a centuries-long slumber, the result of a construction dig supervised by his mother and an incident for which Quinn feels partially responsible. Twenty years later, the adult Quinn (Christian Bale) is the fire chief of a refortified castle community, responsible for dousing the blazes lit by the dragon's prodigious number of flame-spewing offspring, airborne juggernauts that have wreaked havoc across the globe, torching civilization and turning humans into an endangered species. Hope arrives in the form of Denton "Dragon Slayer" Van Zan (Matthew McConaughey), an American known to be the only man to ever kill one of the dragons, and Alex (Izabella Scorupco), a scientist/pilot who's a member of Van Zan's army, a zealous fighting force that includes a secret weapon: the Archangels, paratroopers using themselves as bait to attract and then dispatch the deadly beasts. Reign of Fire (2002) co-stars Gerard Butler, Alice Krige, and Alexander Siddig. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Rome: Caesarion
Caesar (Ciarán Hinds) goes to Egypt, and goes to the court of the boy king, Ptolemy XIII (Shaka Bunsie), to demand that he turn over Pompey. Instead, Pompey's head is produced, and Caesar is not grateful, but enraged. He in turn demands that Ptolemy turn over the man who killed Pompey. The Egyptians have their own political strife, with Ptolemy's sister, Cleopatra (Lyndsey Marshal), having claimed the throne. Caesar decides to stay in Egypt and mediate the dispute in order to insure Egypt's grain supply to Rome isn't affected. But he sends Mark Antony (James Purefoy) and most of his men back to Rome. Vorenus (Kevin McKidd) and Pullo (Ray Stevenson) are sent to find Cleopatra, before Ptolemy's advisors have her killed. They rescue her, and she immediately plans to seduce Caesar, but on the road back to Alexandria, Cleopatra decides that since she is "between the tides" she must conceive a child immediately, before she reaches Caesar, and pass the child off as Caesar's own. She makes a surprising choice for the father. Upon returning to Alexandria, Cleopatra and Caesar have Ptolemy's advisors executed, which causes a massive public uproar, and Caesar ends up under siege in Alexandria for many months. Back in Rome, Brutus (Tobias Menzies) receives a cold welcome from Servilia (Lindsay Duncan) due to his capitulation. Antony keeps a sharp eye on Brutus and Cicero (David Bamber) while Caesar is away. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Brothers of the Head

Add Brothers of the Head to top of Queue
Brothers of the Head was adapted from Brian Aldiss' novel by screenwriter Tony Grisoni, and marks the narrative feature debut of Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe (Lost in La Mancha), who have structured Aldiss' story as a mock documentary. Twins Luke and Harry Treadaway star, respectively, as conjoined twins Barry and Tom Howe, joined at the torso. They were essentially purchased from their family as teens in the 1970s by a sleazy showbiz impresario, Zak Bedderwick (Howard Attfield), who planned to turn them into rock stars. Manager Nick (Sean Harris) kept the volatile Barry in line, sometimes violently, while musician Paul (Bryan Dick) taught the introspective Tom how to play the guitar, and helped the brothers write their songs. A documentary filmmaker, Eddie (Tom Bower), was hired to record the process. Their first live performance was a near disaster, as the rowdy pub crowd didn't welcome the sight of the two young men coming on-stage with their arms around each other, but Barry, the charismatically angry frontman, shocked the crowd by exposing the joint between them as he ripped into a snarling performance of their first single, "Two-Way Romeo," and the legend of their group, the Bang Bang, was born. As the proto-punk group's fame grew, Laura (Tania Emery), a young journalist, came to write an article about them, and quickly developed a romantic relationship with Tom, causing friction between the brothers. The film features interviews with some of the characters in the present day, and clips from an imagined unfinished Ken Russell film about the twins, starring Jonathan Pryce and Jane Horrocks. The music of the Bang Bang, performed by cast members and the band Crackout, was written and produced by Clive Langer. Brothers of the Head was shown at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

The 1981 mythological fantasy adventure Clash of the Titans is resurrected in this remake from Incredible Hulk director Louis Leterrier. Discovered at sea as an infant by a weary fisherman, demigod Perseus (Sam Worthington) grows up with no real knowledge of his celestial origins until his watchful guardian, Io (Gemma Arterton), informs him that he is the offspring of Zeus (Liam Neeson). When Zeus' brother Hades (Ralph Fiennes) casually wipes out Perseus' family, the grieving son vows to show the gods just what kind of damage humankind can inflict on its creators. Before long, Perseus and a small group of soldiers are venturing out into the desert in order to find a way to stop the Kraken, a terrifying force of nature that an indignant Hades has vowed to unleash upon man should they fail to offer up beloved princess Andromeda (Alexa Davalos) as a sacrifice. Along the way, the soldiers encounter a trio of frightening witches with second sight, contend with Hades' devoted servant Calibos (Jason Flemyng), battle giant scorpions, and come face to face with Medusa (Natalia Vodianova), the dreaded gorgon whose gaze has the power to turn men into stone. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

REPORTER AT LARGE about man-made chemicals used to kill pests, which are contaminating our soil, air & water. It must have been by an underground stream that poisonous chemicals travelled from a manufacturing plant in Colorado to a farming district several miles away. In 1943, the Rocky Mountain Arsenal, near Denver, began to manufacture war materials. Eight years later, the plant was leased to a private oil company for the production of insecticides. Even before the changeover; farmers several miles from the plant reported unexplained sickness among livestock, and extensive crop damage. And there were reports of human illness. Tells about chemicals found in water drawn from shallow wells. It was concluded that some of these wastes had found their way into the ground water at the arsenal & that it had taken seven to eight years for them to travel under ground distance of about three miles from two of the arsenal's original holding ponds - mere depressions in the earth into which wastes were discharged - to the nearest farm. The investigators knew of no way to contain the contamination - to halt its advance. The most significant feature of the whole episode was the discovery of 2, 4-D in the holding ponds of the arsenal, even though no 2, 4-D had been manufactured there during any stage of operations. After careful study, the chemists at the plant concluded that the 2, 4-D had been formed spontaneously in the holding ponds, from other substances discharged from the arsenal; in the presence of tatalyzing air and sunlight; and quite without intervention of human chemists, the ponds had become laboratories for the production of a new chemical.

Another 5-star review -
"This really is a fantastic appliance. I was concerned over the difficulty cleaning it - especially the fine-wire mesh. But just running that under water & using the included brush cleans it up without any trouble! The rest of the parts are super easy to wash, and it comes apart very easily and is a snap to put back together. As for the juicing - wow. As one of the many people that hated veggies, this thing is an amazing tool to get you eating healthy! I thought that the juice would come out pulpy and gross, but it comes out completely smooth with no pulp at all. It is so easy to enjoy a ton of healthy, nutritious foods now! Great price, great product!"
July 5, 2012
I'd Give this 6 Stars!!!! -
"Absolutely buy this juicer! It is amazing!!!! I'm writing this review because all of the other reviews I read when I was looking to purchase a juicer really helped me make a great purchase. This thing gets so much juice out of your fruits and veggies and it is a lot easier to clean compared to other brands. Quality machine built very good with attractive durable parts. You will not be disappointed with this and for the price I would give this 6 stars!!!! Your kitchen is secretly mad at you right now because you haven't submitted your order yet!!! I've owned a few juicers before and I have shopped around for months. For this price, this is by far the best juicer. "

Fabulous -
"Before I bought this fantastic juicer my husband and I went on line to do research we were so amazed about the reviews. We went straight to Macy's they were out but they were able to order it on line for us . I could't wait to to get it. Once it arrived I was so thrilled. I am so impressed how compact and powerful it is. Love! love !!love!!1 my breville. I juce almost every morning and take it to work I am more healthy and feel fantastic, happy !!!! easy to clean also.I am juicing all the fruits and I have never eating in my whole life and they taste delicious after juicing all of it together!! It is wonderful !! Thank you so much breville thinkers for making this awesome products. The price is right also. Thanks!"
May 5, 2012
I'm In Love -
"I haven't been this excited about any product in a long time. Like many other reviewers, Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead is what prompted me to try juicing. I also went online and did quite a bit off research before settling on a juicer. I was very happy to see a Breville in the store because I had read great reviews online. Nonetheless, I'm one of those people who likes to feel and see a product that I plan on spending top dollar for. Although there wasn't a floor model available, the salesperson allowed me to open the box and get a closer look. I was immediately impressed with how compact and easy this product was to use. My first attempt at juicing was a breeze. I LOVE this thing. The juices have been delicious. I really got what I paid for and have gotten two of my friends to purchase one. I'm even going to buy one for my mother for Mother's Day. The only design flaw is that there needs to be a tighter seal between the grinder and the chute so that no juice escapes out from the sides. But this is a very minor issue and does not detract at all from the ease of use and the amount of juice you get. Awesome job Breville!! I've told at least 20 of my friends about juicing and mentioned what a great buy this is. "
April 24, 2012
Work Horse -
"I have been using this juicer for months and it still performs like I just took it out of the box. It makes short work of just about anything I put in it. I would steer clear of juicing bananas and mangos though or you will end up with something that resembles baby food. The only thing that it really seems to have trouble getting a lot of juice from is leafy greens, but I found a solution for that. Take the greens you want to juice and put them in a blender or food processor with a couple of teaspoons of drinking water. blend it up until its liquidated. You'll find that you will get a lot of juice from your greens doing this. Then just pour it pulp and all into the juicer. it does a great job of separating all the juice from the pulp. It takes a couple of extra minutes but it beats having to buy a separate masticating juicer just for greens. I've lost about 20 pounds in the past couple of months through diet change and juicing has been a significant part of that. This juicer is well worth the cost. "
April 17, 2012
loving it -
"Just bought my juicer about 5 days ago. Working great. Spinach does not work out very well but great with apples, carrots, beet, tomatoes, kale, celery. Clean up is farily easy, the longest time is for the filter but that takes 2-3 minutes. Hoping to continue juicing regularly. "
March 2, 2012
"Upon seeing the documentary Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. I decided to start juicing. At first I tried Complete Juicing. Meaning no pulp is taken out. I couldn't drink the concoction. It was way too chunky and it took hours of cutting and blending to make a few quarts. I broke down and bought this juicer. Not only does the juice taste so much better but the pulp is really dry.It is so fast and it took me 30 minutes to make 6 quart of juice and that includes cleaning it out three times to make 3 different juices. I love this machine. I nearly skipped out of the store when I bought it!

Easy To Use & Clean -
"I just started juicing - my youngest brother got me into this - I love it! He recommended this juicer (his second machine) and I love it. Easy to use and Easy to clean! Can't beat that one!"
February 14, 2012
I love it! Glad I found it finally. -
"After I saw the film last week, I decided to give juicing a try. I could not find any Breville juicers locally so I found the site and bought one. It arrived last Thursday on February 9, 2012 and we had juice for dinner. My husband and I have been juicing ever since. We started slowly, just juicing 3 meals in a row. We are now moving to having juice for dinner during our work week. I feel great!!! My running has improved and so has my mood. The juicer works great. It handles all the fruits and veggies like a pro. No problems with even the hardest items. (Beets, pineapple with the skin on it all works great) Thanks you Breville!!! You make a quality product!

Hands Down the Best Juicer! -
" After watching the documentary "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead", I started doing my research on juicers. I looked at many customer reviews from a lot of other manufactures and The Juice Fountain Plus was the Best! So I ordered my Juice Fountain Plus on January 18, 2012. I have never juiced before but was excited to start. I really enjoy my juicer except for an issue with the machine that needs improvement...the Food Pusher blows food out when you go to lift it when adding more produce. And when juicing tomatoes, the air blows the seeds out when placing the pusher back in. I rinse all parts off first and then wash by hand in hot soapy water. This only takes about 20 minutes and is very easy. So far I drink 2 juicings a day, plus 100 ounces of water a day and have lost 12 lbs in 14 days. I have set a personal goal of 30 lbs in 30 days and the Juice Fountain Plus is making it easier to achieve with little prep work & overall performance. I love my Juice Fountain Plus and I would highly recommend this product to everybody who is serious about juicing."

Healing Tip: Relieve Stress and Anxiety With GABA
Healing Tip: Relieve Stress and Anxiety With GABA
We can all tolerate a little stress—it makes us more alert and gives us an edge in certain situations.
Chronic anxiety, on the other hand, is emotionally and physically debilitating. Nobody should have to live in a state of constant fear and worry, or suffer through panic attacks or anxiety-driven insomnia, shortness of breath, gastrointestinal problems, and heart palpitations.
One of my favorite recommendations for dealing with anxiety naturally is the amino acid Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).
GABA is more than an amino acid. It is also one of the central nervous system's most important inhibitory neurotransmitters, meaning it stimulates receptors that inhibit, or calm down, activity in the brain. It works, in a sense, in opposition to the excitatory neurotransmitters that rev up the brain. Obviously these two types need to be in balance, and taking supplemental GABA when you're restless, anxious, or irritable helps restore necessary equilibrium.
Because supplemental GABA is safe, nontoxic, and non-habit forming—in addition to being effective—it should be a frontline defense in the battle against anxiety. For quick relief during an acute episode, open a capsule and stir it into water. For chronic anxiety, take one 750 mg capsule one to three times a day as needed.

"I loved the invitation on-line and when I received the product it was even prettier. I couldn't be more happy. Can't wait to be able to mail them out and hear the responses. Thank you."
"I loved how this invitation design made my daughter's picture the focus while still giving the party's Hello Kitty theme. The quality was beautiful and I have gotten so many compliments on them. I chose not to pay the extra for rounded corners and instead rounded them myself with my punch. The customer service provided by Lisa with Tiny Prints was amazing when I had some problems with a glitch in the system causing an error with my order. She had it resolved in minutes and I got my invitations as planned. I cannot rave enough about Tiny Prints and this invitation. I will certainly be ordering again."
"I ABSOLUTELY loved the party invites! I ordered the premium double thick matte..WOW!! I used a picture I took of my son outdoors (with my canon-just a simple camera)! It worked out PERFECT! The quality is simply outstanding... I have recieved so many compliments! People loved them too.. I am so happy with this product, I would highly recomend it. Customer service..superb! Thank you Tiny Prints!"
"Rich color, quality paper and printing. Fast delivery. Like always, family and friends are impress and never fails to ask where I got them. The only thing I wish for Shutterfly to considered is the different believes in cultures, by allowing change in the wordings in "Birthday" and the like etc, giving the option to the customer to really personalize its own card with their own thoughts ideas etc."
"This invitation was perfect for my son's first birthday at the beach. We personalized the back with additional info about the event, and really enjoyed the final product. Furthermore, Elise in customer service/editing helped us to make changes to the invite as proofs were created. Her edits were quick and thoughtful, and she was extremely gracious if we requested one more small change. Overall, great experience."


text: Basically the idea is that you get sent into the GTA world. Don't know world yet but I'm leaning towards San Andreas from GTA V. What you do there is pretty much up to you. You can rob banks go on a killing spree or be one of the 'good guys' and stop us crazies from having fun. You can be anyone weather it's an OC, and canon character from anything, or a character from the GTA series. So anyone interested?
