poor thing he looks sick, his belly is collapsed but me and my wife were all ready divorced by them so I had no legal rights to help the por thing!
I just can't pass one!

Getting ready to bid farewell to 2008.
I don't do sexy, I do constipated. Don't try to convince me otherwise.
I took a couple minutes to contemplate and reminisce about the past year.
Only two memories come to mind; failing out of school and then getting shingles.
As far as I can remember right now nothing big or super exciting happened this past year... It went by really fast and I kinda have my memories from the past three years all jumbled together.
I wanted to take a cute picture of me and my dog but his hormones are out of control and he wouldn't stop humping my leg. Maybe tomorrow I'll post an outtake or two...
See you all next year!!
At first glance this bluegill's nest is notably different than other local residents. The creative digging and clearing, in the shape of a bear's claw is situated behind a large rock providing him solid insulation and an exceptional noise and rfi barrier while also giving that added security knowing he and his family will be protected from the various local environmental assaults and predators which abound in this area. As you can see he chose not to utilize the bright green moss as other fish preferred and his surrounding berm is asymmetric and not clearly defined by height or shape. He also chose a variety of low-keyed colors, shapes and materials including sticks, neutral colored small stones, tiny white scallop shells, mud, and one black walnut.
This fish most likely has had or witnessed previous violent encounters, may be a rapid metabolizer of the CYP2D6 gene, has been exposed to the various pharmaceuticals in our water, may be either old or tired, or very brilliant in his clever defense plan to protect his prospective mate and brood.
There is a radio station on the top of the hill in front of this lake.

Black Walnuts:
Allelopathy
Black walnut is allelopathic, as it excretes chemicals into its environment that harm competition. While many species of plants are allelopathic, walnuts are particularly famous for it, records of walnut toxicity to other plants have been observed as far back as the first century when Pliny the Elder wrote: "The shadow of walnut trees is poison to all plants within its compass."[28] Walnuts have since been observed as being toxic to many plants including herbaceous and woody plants.
Like other walnuts, the roots, inner bark, nut husks, and leaves contain a nontoxic chemical called hydrojuglone,[28] when exposed to air or soil compounds it is oxidized into juglone that is biologically active and acts as a respiratory inhibitor to some plants. Juglone is poorly soluble in water and does not move far in the soil and will stay most concentrated in the soil directly beneath the tree.[29] Even after a tree is removed the soil where the roots once were will still contain juglone for several years after the tree is removed as more juglone will be released as the roots decay.[29] Well drained and aerated soils will host a healthy community of soil microbes and these microbes will help to break down the juglone.
Symptoms of juglone poisoning include foliar yellowing and wilting.[29] A number of plants are particularly sensitive. Apples, tomatoes, pines, and birch are poisoned by juglone, and should not be planted in proximity to a black walnut.[4][30]
Interaction with horses
Horses are susceptible to laminitis from exposure to black walnut wood in bedding.[31]

Hello! I'm Andrew, and this is my first day of my very first 365 project.
I've been contemplating doing a 365 project for quite some time, but had trouble committing to it. Recently however, I wiped away all the poor excuses that helped me to justify why I shouldn't do this, and realized it would be a good opportunity for me to use it as a base for accomplishing some things... namely improving my photography skills in certain areas that I feel deficient.
I realize there will be days that my shots will stink. But ya know, some people do their best work under pressure... sort of like people that do their best thinking when they are, well, in the bathroom. I really do hope that I can accomplish my goals, and that I don't suffer from any mental constipation along the way.
I'm really looking forward to this. And who knows, maybe if I can successfully complete my first 365 project I'll try and squeeze another one in immediately after.
Let this photo be a lesson... that when I don't have any good ideas, this is the sh*t I come up with. I'm sorry you had to see this one, but it's the best I have for day 1.

The Organs of your body have their sensory touches at the bottom of your
foot, if you massage these points you will find relief from aches and pains
as you can see the heart is on the left foot.
[image: []]
Typically they are shown as points and arrows to show which organ it
connects to.
It is indeed correct since the nerves connected to these organs terminate
here.
This is covered in great details in Acupressure studies or textbooks.
God created our body so well that he thought of even this. He made us walk
so that we will always be pressing these pressure points and thus keeping
these organs activated at all times.
So, keep walking...

Does Your Blood Type Reveal Your Personality?
Accord ing to a Japanese institute that does research on blood types, there
are certain personality traits that seem to match up with certain blood
types. How do you rate?
*TYPE O*
You want to be a leader, and when you see something you want, you keep
striving until you achieve your goal. You are a trend-setter, loyal,
passionate, and self-confident. Your weaknesses include vanity and jealously
and a tendency to be too competitive.
*TYPE A*
You like harmony, peace and organization. You work well with others, and are
sensitive, patient and affectionate. Among your weaknesses are stubbornness
and an inability to relax.
*TYPE B*
You're a rugged individualist, who's str aightforwa rd and likes to do
things your own way. Creative and flexible, you adapt easily to any
situation. But your insistence on being independent can sometimes go too far
and become a weakness.
*TYPE AB*
Cool and controlled, you're generally well liked and always put people at
ease. You're a natural entertainer who's tactful and fair. But you're
standoffish, blunt, and have difficulty making decisions.

...* DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH*
It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up
every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven a its value. We
publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and
serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been
found successful by a Japanese med ical society as a 100% cure for the
following diseases:
Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy,
excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine
diseases, vomiting, ga str itis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation,
all eye diseases, womb, cancer and ear nose and throat diseases. *
METHOD OF TREATMENT*
1. As you wake up in the morning *before brushing teeth*, drink 4 x 160ml
glasses of water .....interesting
2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minutes
3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.
4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink
anything for 2 hours
5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at
the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it
to 4 glasses per day.
6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others
can enjoy a healthy life.
The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to
cure/control/reduce main diseases:
1. High Blood Pressure - 30 days
2. Ga str ic - 10 days
3. Diabetes - 30 days
4. Constipation - 10 days
5. Cancer - 180 days
6. TB - 90 days
7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in
the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwa rd s - daily.
This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of
treatment you may have to urinate a few times.
It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work
in our life.
Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.
This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals
..not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while
eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.
It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water
will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed . It will slow down
the digestion.
Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed
by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine.
Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink
hot soup or warm water after a meal.
*
A serious note about heart attacks*: Women should know that not every heart
attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting.
Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.
You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart
attack..
Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.
60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.
Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be
aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to everyone they
know, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.
**Please send this article to all your friends you care for.
Because a lot of you all think this is what this face is made for... So I made a vig... And stuff. Hope you all are having a good New Year. 283

Health benefits
Potential health benefits of banana consumption. By a high potassium to sodium content, bananas may prevent high blood pressure and its complications. High fiber content may also contribute to this effect. High potassium may also prevent renal calcium loss, in effect preventing bone breakdown. In diarrhea, it contributes with electrolyte replacement, as well as increased absorption of nutrients. Bananas also have some antacid effect, protecting from peptic ulcers. Pectin content, a hydrocolloid, can ease constipation by normalizing movement through the intestine. The low glycemic index in unripe bananas is of particular benefit to people with diabetes. High fructooligosaccharide content may work as a prebiotic, nourishing the intestinal flora to produce beneficial vitamins and enzymes. Carotenoid content has antioxidant effects, and protects against vitamin A deficiency, resulting in e.g. night blindness. Moderate consumption decreases risk of kidney cancer, possibly due to antioxidant phenolic compounds In contrast, large consumption of highly processed fruit juice increases the risk of kidney cancer.
Fruit consumption in general decreases the risk of age-related muscular degeneration

Culinary uses
Persimmons are eaten fresh or dried, raw or cooked. When eaten fresh the peel is usually cut/peeled off and the fruit is often cut into quarters or eaten whole like an apple. The flesh ranges from firm to mushy and the texture is unique. The flesh is very sweet and when firm possesses an apple-like crunch. In China, Korea, Japan, and Vietnam after harvesting, 'Hachiya' persimmons are prepared using traditional hand-drying techniques, outdoors for two to three weeks. The fruit is then further dried by exposure to heat over several days before being shipped to market. In Japan the dried fruit is called Hoshigaki (干し柿),and in Korea, gotgam(hangu;:곶감) and is eaten as a snack or dessert and used for other culinary purposes. The gotgam per is used to make the traditional Korean spicy punch, sujeonggwa, while the matured, fermented fruit is used to make a persimmon vinegar (감식초) that is thought to have a wide variety of holistic properties. The Hoshigaki tradition traveled to California with Japanese American immigrants. A few farms still practice the art, which is being revived in part through the efforts of Slow Food USA, which describes the technique on its site and provides links to producers. [5] [6] In some areas of Manchuria and Korea, the dried leaves of the fruit are used for making tea. The Korean name for this tea is ghamnip cha (감잎차).
干し柿 Hoshigaki, Japanese Dried Persimmon
干し柿 Hoshigaki, Japanese Dried Persimmon
The persimmon also figures prominently in American culinary tradition. It can be used in cookies, cakes, puddings, salads and as a topping for breakfast cereal. Persimmon pudding is a dessert using fresh persimmons. An annual persimmon festival, featuring a persimmon pudding contest, is held every September in Mitchell, Indiana. Persimmon pudding is a baked pudding that has the consistency of pumpkin pie but resembles a brownie and is almost always topped with whipped cream. Persimmons may be stored at room temperature (20°C) where they will continue to ripen. It is also a native plant in Brazil, South America, where it is referred to as the Caqui.
[edit] Ethnomedical Uses
* In traditional Chinese medicine the fruit regulates ch'i
* The raw fruit is used to treat constipation and hemorrhoids, and to stop bleeding. As such, it is not a good idea to consume too many persimmons at once- they can induce diarrhea.
* The cooked fruit is used to treat diarrhea and dysentery

Bulimia Nervosa is an illness in which a person binges on food or has regular episodes of significant overeating and feels a loss of control. The affected person then uses various methods -- such as vomiting or laxative abuse -- to prevent weight gain. Eating binges may occur as often as several times a day for many months. These binges cause a sense of self-disgust, which leads to self-induced vomiting or excessive exercise.
Bulimia can be dangerous and may lead to serious medical complications over time. For example, frequent vomiting puts stomach acid in the esophagus (the tube from the mouth to the stomach), which can permanently damage this area.
Possible complications include:
Constipation, Dehydration, Dental cavities, Electrolyte abnormalities, Hemorrhoids, Inflammation of the throat, Pancreatitis and Tears of the esophagus

Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder that involves limiting the amount of food a person eats. It results in starvation and an inability to stay at the minimum body weight considered healthy for the person's age and height. Persons with this disorder may have an intense fear of weight gain, even when they are underweight. Not eating enough food or exercising too much results in severe weight loss.
Most individuals with anorexia nervosa do not recognize that they have an eating disorder. The exact causes of anorexia nervosa are unknown, though many factors are involved: genetics and social attitudes toward body appearance may play an important role. Some experts have suggested that conflicts within a family may contribute to this eating disorder. Anorexia nervosa usually occurs in adolescence or young adulthood and is most common in females. The eating disorder is seen mainly in Caucasian women who are high academic achievers and who have a goal-oriented family or personality.
Behaviors that may be noticed in a person with anorexia include:
Cutting food into small pieces, Exercising compulsively, Going to the bathroom right after meals, Quickly eating large amounts of food, Restricting the amount of food eaten, and Using laxatives, enemas, or diuretics inappropriately in an effort to lose weight
Complications due to Anorexia may include:
Appearance of fine baby-like body hair (lanugo), Bloating or edema, Electrolyte imbalance (such as potassium insufficiency), Decrease in white blood cells which leads to increased risk of infection, Heart arrhythmias, Osteoporosis, Severe dehydration (possibly leading to shock), Severe malnutrition, Seizures due to fluid loss from excessive diarrhea or vomiting, Thyroid gland problems (which can lead to cold intolerance and constipation) and Tooth erosion and decay

Papaya Health Benefits:
* Papaya contains the digestive enzyme papain and therefore valuable for aiding digestion.
* The unique protein-digesting enzymes; papain and chymopapain have been shown to help lower inflammation and to improve healing from burns in addition to helping in digestion of proteins. The antioxidant nutrients found in papaya, including vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene, are also very good at reducing inflammation.
* The ripe fruit is easily digestible and prevents constipation.
* Case studies indicate that this food taken alone for two or three days has a highly beneficial tonic effect upon the stomach and intestines.
* The juice of the papaya aids in relieving infections of the colon and has a tendency to break down pus and mucus reached by the juice.
* May help prevent cancer in organs and glands with epithelial tissue (ripe papaya). Papaya’s fiber is able to bind to cancer-causing toxins in the colon and keep them away from the healthy colon cells. In addition, papaya’s folate, vitamin C, beta-carotene, and vitamin E have each been associated with a reduced risk of colon cancer
* Prevents nausea (includes morning sickness and motion sickness)
* The seeds are antihelmintic, for expelling worms and they are given with honey. Chew and swallow two teaspoonfuls of seeds after each principal meal (three times a day).
* Papayas may be very helpful for the prevention of atherosclerosis and diabetic heart disease. Papayas are an excellent source of vitamin C as well as a good source of vitamin E and vitamin A (through their concentration of pro-vitamin A carotenoid phytonutrients), three very powerful antioxidants.
* Papayas are also a good source of fiber, which has been shown to lower high cholesterol levels.
I must have my porriage every morning, summer and winter.

Twenty reasons why porridge is the ultimate health food........
(I'm not sure why reason # 1 is at the top of this list. #20 comes first with me at my age! Alas, a cup of tea is more appealing when I first wake up in the morning. Then I'm wide awake so bound out of bed to prepare and enjoy my porridge)
1. IMPROVES SEX LIFE
Porridge oats can boost libido by helping to re-balance testosterone and oestrogen in the body. Testosterone drives sexual desire in both sexes. Men with low testosterone levels go off sex.
2. GOOD FOR HANGOVERS
Oats neutralise acidity levels in the body and help absorb toxins. Since a hangover is the result of the "poisonous" effects of alcohol, a bowl of porridge might help relieve the symptoms.
Porridge also contains one of the highest levels of soluble fibre of any cereal. Soluble fibre is essential for healthy digestion. Since alcohol depletes sugar levels, the slow-releasing carbohydrates in porridge help redress this.
3. HELPS QUIT SMOKING
Compounds in oats can help calm the nervous system and reduce the craving for nicotine.
4. HEALS THE SKIN
Bathing in oat-based solutions can help problem skin. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the anti-inflammatory compounds in porridge oats can help conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. Fill a sock or stocking with porridge oats and place in water for 20 minutes while bathing.
5. FIGHTS INFECTION
Of all the cereals, porridge has the best proportion of protein needed for growth and repair in the body and to help boost the immune system.
6. FIGHTS HEART DISEASE
Many studies have shown that eating fibre-rich food such as porridge reduces the risk of heart disease. But scientists in the U.S. found that porridge contains avenanthramides - chemicals that stop blood cells sticking to artery walls, preventing the fatty deposits that cause heart disease.
7. REDUCES DIABETES RISK SLOWLY
Digested foods such as porridge might cut the risk of developing non-insulin dependent diabetes by absorbing sugar from the gut and cutting the need for large quantities of insulin to be released.
8. HELPS CONCENTRATION
The slow releasing complex carbohydrates in oats sustain energy levels, allowing full concentration to be maintained. Complex carbohydrates also stabilise and raise blood sugar levels.
9. BEATS DEPRESSION
Porridge is high in Vitamin B6, which promotes the brain chemical serotonin. High levels of serotonin are associated with feelings of well-being and also aid relaxation and restful sleep. Levels of serotonin dip when sunlight is limited - i.e. during winter - and can lead to the depressive condition Seasonal Affective Disorder.
10. BOOTS ENERGY
Porridge oats are high in complex carbohydrates and soluble fibre, which means they release energy slowly. A bowl of porridge should provide all the energy you need until lunchtime.
11. CUTS CHILDHOOD OBESITY
A study of 10,000 children by researchers at New York's Columbia University found that among those who regularly ate whole-oat products, the proportion of overweight children almost halved.
Researchers at Oxford Brookes University also found that those eating foods with a low glycaemic index (GI), such as porridge, were less likely to binge on sugary snacks. Foods with a low GI rating release glucose into the body more slowly and evenly, leaving you feeling fuller for longer.
12. LOWERS CHOLESTEROL
Porridge is rich in soluble fibre, which has been shown to lower blood cholesterol. High cholesterol occurs when fat builds up and constricts the arteries, reducing blood flow to the heart. Eating oats can improve blood flow and bind to cholesterol in the gut, aiding its removal from the body. Scientists think the cholesterol-lowering effects of oats are due to the oat soluble fibre beta-glucan.
13. PREVENTS CONSTIPATION
High-fibre foods such as porridge increase the movement of food through the digestive tract.
This increased bowel action provides a good environment for beneficial bacteria in the gut to ferment while decreasing levels of destructive bacteria.
14. FIGHTS OSTEOPOROSIS
Porridge oats are blended with milk, making an excellent source of calcium which is essential for bone health. Lack of calcium can lead to osteoporosis, which involves a loss of bone density and can make bones fragile.
15. CAN HELP DIETING
Porridge oats are 100 per cent natural, with no added sugar, salt or additives, and are naturally low in calories. An average bowl of porridge made with water contains 171 calories.
16. GOOD FOR PREGNANT WOMEN
Porridge is a source of folic acid. Studies have shown that taking folic acid from before conception until the 12th week of pregnancy can reduce the chances of having a baby with spina bifida. Pregnant women need 400mcg of folic acid a day.
17. FIGHTS CANCER
Oats are rich in the antioxidant vitamin E, which protects the body from the damaging free radicals that can cause cancer. A diet high in soluble fibre foods such as porridge oats might also help reduce the chances of developing bowel, colon and breast cancer.
18. CONTAINS ESSENTIAL MINERALS
Porridge is a good source of manganese, which is essential in allowing the body to produce energy as well as helping to build bones and connective tissue. It also contains zinc, which is needed for normal growth, sexual development and reproduction, and a healthy immune system.
19. REDUCES BLOOD PRESSURE
A daily serving of oats can improve blood pressure control and reduce the need for anti-hypertensive medication, according to U.S. researchers - 73 per cent of those fed a wholegrain oat-based cereal (containing 3g of soluble fibre) stopped or reduced their blood pressure medication by half.
20. COULD HELP LONG LIFE
Britain's longest living man, David Henderson, from Montrose, Scotland, who died in 1998 at 109, attributed his age and good health to a daily bowl of porridge. This could be because the lipids present in oats contain a good balance of essential fatty acids which have been linked to longevity and general good health.

In the 16th century this was called papillaris by the apothecaries, after the Latin papilla meaning nipple, since the herb was traditionally employed to treat cracked nipples or to promote the flow of milk from the breast, a use which may originally have been suggested by the nipple-shaped unopened flower buds. In some parts of Europe ointments made from the fresh juice are still used for this purpose.
Considered useful in constipation associated with liver problems. Supposed, but unproven, antidiabetic agent. May be applied to wounds or cuts.

Beets...they took a while for me to get used to. I had read once that they were the #1 food for losing weight, because they help digest fat. Well, I didn't think it was worth eating them then...but when I started having gallbladder/liver problems, I decided it was time to get cozy with them again. Beets in my opinion are one of the greatest Superfoods out there. My friends father came down with cancer of the liver...she asked his doctor what he should be eating and was given the reply of "whatever he wants.", almost as if it didn't matter since he was given anywhere from a few weeks to a few months to live. I feel it's wrong. The medical profession isn't very educated on nutritional therapy. Food IS very healing people...it's my mission this week to share with you the benefits of these Super foods and maybe you can include them in your diets and feel just as good as I have been lately. :-)
The health benefits of beets include help with anemia, digestion, constipation, blood circulation, kidney disorders, skin care, dandruff, gall bladder disorders, cancer, and heart diseases.
* It is believed that red beets when eaten regularly may help against certain oxidative stress-related disorders.
* The fiber in red beets help reduced serum cholesterol by 30 to 40%.
* Beets can help in normalizing blood pressure.
* Beets helps to keep the elasticity of arteries, when consumed regularly it can help prevent varicose veins.
* The iron content of red beets, though not high but is of the finest quality that makes it a powerful cleanser and builder of blood. This is the reason why beets is very effective in treating many ailments caused by toxic environment and surrounding.
* Beet root is recommended for pregnant women because it contain folic acid that can help lower the risk of spina bifida and other neural tube defects in newborn infants.
* Beet juice helps stimulate the function of liver cells and protect the liver and bile ducts.
* Beet juice is highly alkaline which makes it effective in the treatment of acidosis.
* Drinking beets regularly can help relieve constipation.
* Beet juice and carrot juice when combined is excellent in the healing gout, kidney and gall bladder problem.
* Red beets can also help in the following problems; Headaches, toothaches, dysentery, lumbago, skin problems, menstrual problems, etc.

Never tried beets before? Well, hate to tell you, but they taste like they look. :-/ I personally think they have an earthy, almost dirt taste to them, which can be cool if you remember liking the taste of dirt as a kid! I didn't....
You can get beets in a can, cut em up and add them to some mixed greens, goat cheese and a vinaigrette dressing. You can barely taste them in your salad that way, and a good way to trick yourself into eating them because let's face it, when you're in pain and THIS is what's going to make it feel better, then it's time to suck it up and eat them like an adult! (this is what I told myself)
A friend of mine taught me to roast them, which made them very yummy and totally edible!
Clean them well, cut the top and rat tails off :-) I don't peel them...so it's important to buy them organic.
I quarter them, depending on how big they are...but you want them small enough for them to cook quickly. In a Pyrex pan, I add them with a diced shallot, olive oil, juice from a lemon and an orange, light salt & pepper and into the oven for about 45 min at 350*. You can use the juice from your ingredients in your salad and this version of the salad above is kicked up to a whole other level. Enjoy.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a flowering plant whose rhizome, ginger root or simply ginger, is widely used as a spice or a folk medicine.
It is a herbaceous perennial which grows annual stems about a meter tall bearing narrow green leaves and yellow flowers. Ginger is in the family Zingiberaceae, to which also belong turmeric (Curcuma longa), cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum), and galangal. Ginger originated in the tropical rainforest in Southern Asia. Although ginger no longer grows wild, it is thought to have originated on the Indian subcontinent because the ginger plants grown in India show the largest amount of genetic variation. Ginger was exported to Europe via India in the first century AD as a result of the lucrative spice trade and was used extensively by the Romans.
The distantly related dicots in the genus Asarum are commonly called wild ginger because of their similar taste.
ETYMOLOGY
The origin of "ginger" is from the mid-14th century, from Old English gingifer, from Medieval Latin gingiber, from Latin zingiberi, from Greek zingiberis, from Prakrit (Middle Indic) singabera, from Sanskrit srngaveram, from srngam "horn" + vera- "body", from the shape of its root. But this may be Sanskrit folk etymology, and the word may be from an ancient Dravidian name that also produced the Tamil and Malayalam name for the spice, inchi-ver, from inchi "root." cf. gin (v.). The word probably was readopted in Middle English from Old French gingibre (modern French gingembre).
HORTICULTURE
Ginger produces clusters of white and pink flower buds that bloom into yellow flowers. Because of its aesthetic appeal and the adaptation of the plant to warm climates, it is often used as landscaping around subtropical homes. It is a perennial reed-like plant with annual leafy stems, about a meter (3 to 4 feet) tall. Traditionally, the rhizome is gathered when the stalk withers; it is immediately scalded, or washed and scraped, to kill it and prevent sprouting. The fragrant perisperm of the Zingiberaceae is used as sweetmeats by Bantu, and also as a condiment and sialagogue.
USES
Ginger produces a hot, fragrant kitchen spice.[6] Young ginger rhizomes are juicy and fleshy with a very mild taste. They are often pickled in vinegar or sherry as a snack or cooked as an ingredient in many dishes. They can be steeped in boiling water to make ginger tisane, to which honey is often added; sliced orange or lemon fruit may be added. Ginger can be made into candy, or ginger wine, which has been made commercially since 1740.
Mature ginger rhizomes are fibrous and nearly dry. The juice from ginger roots is often used as a seasoning in Indian recipes and is a common ingredient of Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, and many South Asian cuisines for flavoring dishes such as seafood, meat, and vegetarian dishes.
Fresh ginger can be substituted for ground ginger at a ratio of six to one, although the flavors of fresh and dried ginger are somewhat different. Powdered dry ginger root is typically used as a flavoring for recipes such as gingerbread, cookies, crackers and cakes, ginger ale, and ginger beer.
Candied ginger, or crystallized ginger, is the root cooked in sugar until soft, and is a type of confectionery.
Fresh ginger may be peeled before eating. For longer-term storage, the ginger can be placed in a plastic bag and refrigerated or frozen.
REGIONAL USES
In Indian cuisine, ginger is a key ingredient, especially in thicker gravies, as well as in many other dishes, both vegetarian and meat-based. Ginger also has a role in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. It is an ingredient in traditional Indian drinks, both cold and hot, including spiced masala chai. Fresh ginger is one of the main spices used for making pulse and lentil curries and other vegetable preparations. Fresh ginger together with peeled garlic cloves is crushed or ground to form ginger garlic masala. Fresh, as well as dried, ginger is used to spice tea and coffee, especially in winter. In south India, "sambharam" is a summer yogurt drink made with ginger as a key ingredient, along with green chillies, salt and curry leaves. Ginger powder is used in food preparations intended primarily for pregnant or nursing women, the most popular one being katlu, which is a mixture of gum resin, ghee, nuts, and sugar. Ginger is also consumed in candied and pickled form.
In Japan, ginger is pickled to make beni shoga and gari or grated and used raw on tofu or noodles. It is made into a candy called shoga no sato zuke. In the traditional Korean kimchi, ginger is either finely minced or just juiced to avoid the fibrous texture and added to the ingredients of the spicy paste just before the fermenting process.
In Burma, ginger is called gyin. It is widely used in cooking and as a main ingredient in traditional medicines. It is consumed as a salad dish called gyin-thot, which consists of shredded ginger preserved in oil, with a variety of nuts and seeds.
In Thailand' where it is called ขิง khing, it is used to make a ginger garlic paste in cooking.
In Indonesia, a beverage called wedang jahe is made from ginger and palm sugar. Indonesians also use ground ginger root, called jahe, as a common ingredient in local recipes.
In Malaysia, ginger is called halia and used in many kinds of dishes, especially soups.
Called luya in the Philippines, ginger is a common ingredient in local dishes and is brewed as a tea called salabat.
In Vietnam, the fresh leaves, finely chopped, can be added to shrimp-and-yam soup (canh khoai mỡ) as a top garnish and spice to add a much subtler flavor of ginger than the chopped root.
In China, sliced or whole ginger root is often paired with savory dishes such as fish, and chopped ginger root is commonly paired with meat, when it is cooked. Candied ginger is sometimes a component of Chinese candy boxes, and a herbal tea can be prepared from ginger.
In the Caribbean, ginger is a popular spice for cooking and for making drinks such as sorrel, a drink made during the Christmas season. Jamaicans make ginger beer both as a carbonated beverage and also fresh in their homes. Ginger tea is often made from fresh ginger, as well as the famous regional specialty Jamaican ginger cake.
On the island of Corfu, Greece, a traditional drink called τσιτσιμπύρα (tsitsibira), a type of ginger beer, is made. The people of Corfu and the rest of the Ionian islands adopted the drink from the British, during the period of the United States of the Ionian Islands.
In Arabic, ginger is called zanjabil and in some parts of the Middle East, gingayu (生姜湯). The Hebrew name for the spice, zangevil, is a variation on the name.
In Western cuisine, ginger is traditionally used mainly in sweet foods such as ginger ale, gingerbread, ginger snaps, parkin, ginger biscuits, and speculaas. A ginger-flavored liqueur called Canton is produced in Jarnac, France. Ginger wine is a ginger-flavored wine produced in the United Kingdom, traditionally sold in a green glass bottle. Ginger is also used as a spice added to hot coffee and tea.
SIMILAR INGREDIENTS
Myoga (Zingiber mioga 'Roscoe') appears in Japanese cuisine; the flower buds are the part eaten.
Another plant in the Zingiberaceae family, galangal, is used for similar purposes as ginger in Thai cuisine. Galangal is also called Thai ginger, fingerroot (Boesenbergia rotunda), Chinese ginger, or the Thai krachai.
A dicotyledonous native species of eastern North America, Asarum canadense, is also known as "wild ginger", and its root has similar aromatic properties, but it is not related to true ginger. The plant contains aristolochic acid, a carcinogenic compound.[9] The United States Food and Drug Administration warns that consumption of aristolochic acid-containing products is associated with "permanent kidney damage, sometimes resulting in kidney failure that has required kidney dialysis or kidney transplantation. In addition, some patients have developed certain types of cancers, most often occurring in the urinary tract."
PRODUCTION
In 2013, with a global production of 2.1 million tonnes of ginger, India accounted for 33%, followed by China (19%), Nepal, Indonesia, and Nigeria.
NUTRITIOAL INFORMATION
In 100 grams, ground dried ginger (10% water) provides numerous essential nutrients in high content, particularly the dietary mineral manganese as a multiple of its Daily Value (DV, table). In a typical spice serving amount of one US tablespoon or 5 g, however, ginger powder provides negligible content of essential nutrients, with the exception of manganese present as 79% of DV (USDA database).
Due to its higher content of water (80%), raw ginger root has lower overall nutrient content when expressed per 100 grams.
COMPOSITION AND SAFETY
If consumed in reasonable quantities, ginger has few negative side effects. It is on the FDA's "generally recognized as safe" list, though it does interact with some medications, including the anticoagulant drug warfarin and the cardiovascular drug, nifedipine.
Products of Chinese origin found in Taiwan contained ginger contaminated with diisobutyl phthalate, causing some 80,000 nutritional supplement capsules made with imported ginger powder to be seized by the Public Health Department of Taiwan in June 2011.
CHEMISTRY
The characteristic fragrance and flavor of ginger result from volatile oils that compose 1-3% of the weight of fresh ginger, primarily consisting of zingerone, shogaols and gingerols with [6]-gingerol (1-[4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxyphenyl]-5-hydroxy-3-decanone) as the major pungent compound. Zingerone is produced from gingerols during drying, having lower pungency and a spicy-sweet aroma.
BIOLOG'ICAL EFFECTS
Ginger has a sialagogue action, stimulating the production of saliva, which makes swallowing easier.
Ginger is a minor chemical irritant and, because of this, was used as a horse suppository by pre-World War I mounted regiments for gingering.
MEDICINAL USE AND RESEARCH
Oral or topical uses of ginger to treat various disorders, such as nausea or arthritis pain, are under research, but no conclusions are possible from these studies about its effectiveness or safety in long-term use.
In limited studies, ginger was found to be more effective than placebo for treating nausea caused by seasickness, morning sickness, and chemotherapy, although it was not found superior to placebo for treating postoperative nausea. Studies have found no clear evidence of harm from taking ginger during pregnancy, though its safety has not been established.
Allergic reactions to ginger generally result in a rash. Although generally recognized as safe, ginger can cause heartburn and other side effects, particularly if taken in powdered form. Unchewed fresh ginger may result in intestinal blockage, and individuals who have had ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease, or blocked intestines may react badly to large quantities of fresh ginger. It can also adversely affect individuals with gallstones and may interfere with the effects of anticoagulants, such as warfarin or aspirin.
Studies are inconclusive about the effects of using ginger for nausea or pain associated with various ailments. Side effects, mostly associated with consuming powdered ginger, are gas, bloating, heartburn, and nausea.
Ginger powder may be effective for primary dysmenorrhea.
Cultivars, preparation, and folk medicine
Ginger properties depend on a number of factors, such as cultivar, plant segment, and preparation method (dried or cooked). Examples:
One traditional medical form of ginger historically called "Jamaica ginger" was classified as a stimulant and carminative, and used frequently for dyspepsia, gastroparesis, slow gut motility symptoms, constipation, or colic.

Yosselle “Joe” Greenstein—more commonly known as the Mighty Atom—was often called the “smallest strongman in the universe.” His 70+-year career was built on brawn and huckster charm, in which he combined astounding strength with clever showmanship.
Born 3 months premature to a poor family in Suvlak, Poland in 1893, Greenstein’s early life offered little indication of his future career as a world-famous sideshow strongman. At the age of 14, he contracted tuberculosis and was given a bleak diagnosis, but he astounded his doctors by making a full recovery. Thereafter, Greenstein adopted a physical and spiritual dedication to fortifying his body, and much like Theodore Roosevelt, embraced the “strenuous life.” He ran away to join the circus and spent a year and half apprenticing under a circus strongman, Champion Volanko, from whom Greenstein learned diet and exercise rituals that helped him to transform his frail body into a 5’4” powerhouse.
During his career he was known for biting iron nails in half, twisting steel spikes and horseshoes with his bare hands, breaking chains by expanding his chest, pulling cars with his teeth, and holding taxiing airplanes to the ground with chains attached to his hair. Greenstein performed these astounding acts well into his 80s, attracting thousands to see him perform at Madison Square Garden just months before his death!
Greenstein attributed his remarkable strength to clean living, a nutritious diet and vigorous physical exercise. But his career relied as much on his strength as on his celebrity and charisma. He demonstrated these skills as a carnival barker and salesman, marketing a line of personal care products that included “natural” soap, liniment, hair tonic, and Pep-o-lax, an herbal “regulator” to be used for “temporary constipation” and promoting vigor. Greenstein sold these products beginning in the 1940s or even earlier, through the 1970s. Working out of the back of his 1937 Ford truck at farmers markets in the greater New York area, he enticed customers with his strongman stunts and, after bending 60-penny nails and horseshoes before their eyes, explained that they too could enjoy such strength and vitality into old age by using his products.
Though the ability of these products to do what they claim is dubious at best, Greenstein’s products were never found to violate federal food and drug laws. Yet, Pep-o-lax is among the artifacts in FDA’s history vault because it reflects one of the many ingenious (and outlandish) marketing tactics used to sell various lifestyle products over the course of the 20th century.

With this hibiscus blossom, I wish all my flickr friends a wonderful weekend!
Hibiskus (Hibiscus), einige Arten werden auch Eibisch genannt, ist eine Gattung aus der Familie der Malvengewächse (Malvaceae) mit etwa 300 Arten, die hauptsächlich in den wärmeren Gebieten der Welt verbreitet ist.
Ein Extrakt aus Hibiskusblüten hat ähnliche gefäßschützende Eigenschaften wie Rotwein, Traubensaft oder Tee. Die im Hibiskus enthaltenen Antioxidantien haben einen positiven Einfluss auf die Cholesterinwerte und können damit Herz- und Kreislauferkrankungen vorbeugen.
In Australien (und mittlerweile auch in Europa) werden in Zuckersirup eingelegte Hibiskusblüten (beispielsweise der Art Hibiscus sabdariffa) mit Sekt oder Champagner aufgegossen als Aperitif serviert.
Unter der Bezeichnung Karkadeh (كركا ده) ist Hibiskusblütentee in Ägypten und im Sudan ein beliebtes Getränk. Der tiefrote Tee wird heiß oder kalt getrunken und ist, gerade kalt, eine köstliche Erfrischung in der heißen Jahreszeit.
In China gilt der Hibiskus als Symbol für Ruhm, Reichtum und Pracht sowie für die sexuelle Anziehungskraft eines jungen Mädchens. Erwähnt sei die in vielen Varianten gebräuchliche Erzählung Der Hibiskusschirm.
Hibiscus, or rosemallow, is a large genus of about 200–220 species of flowering plants in the family Malvaceae, native to warm temperate, subtropical and tropical regions throughout the world. The genus includes both annual and perennial herbaceous plants, and woody shrubs and small trees.
Extracts of some hibiscus species are claimed to have health benefits, including prevention of constipation, bladder infections and nausea, and high blood pressure. The studies that yielded these results are debated. An unspecified hibiscus plant is used to make a herbal tea, typically blended with rosehip.
The bark of the hibiscus contains strong fibers. They can be obtained by letting the stripped bark sit in the sea for some time in order to let the organic material rot away. In Polynesia these fibers (fau, pūrau) are used for making grass skirts. They have also been known to be used to make wigs.
Hibiscus, espcially white hibiscus is considered to have medicinal properties in the Indian traditional system of medicine, Ayurveda. Roots are used to make various decoctions believed to cure various ailments.

I just can't pass one!
Back in my room. Red wine consumed. Started pulling silly poses in to the mirror. Not great photos but some funny expressions!
The morning sun illuminates a sign on the side of a building ib downtown Brattlesburg, Vermont. Carter's Little Liver Pills, were developed in the 1870's by Dr. Samuel J. Carter, a druggist in Erie, Pa. The pills were touted to cure, headache, constipation, dyspepsia and biliousness. Carter's Little Liver Pills predated the other available forms of bisacodyl and was a very popular and heavily advertised patent medicine up until the 1960s. This popularity spawned a common saying (with variants) in the first half of the 20th Century: "He/She has more _________ than Carter has Little Liver Pills". The Carter-Wallace Company changed the name to Carter's Little Pills in 1959 after the Federal Trade Commission objected to advertising claims that the pills increase the flow of bile from the liver, and the United States Supreme Court refused to intervene.
Senator Robert Byrd, after winning re-election in 2000, is quoted as saying, "West Virginia has always had four friends, God Almighty, Sears Roebuck, Carter's Liver Pills and Robert C. Byrd."

Secrets of Radiation. It is the project that I intend to reflect the physical and mental deterioration suffered by women who have received radiation from cervical cancer and the deterioration due to side effects to the treatment, which saves their lives but leaves a great imprint on their body and mind . This internal wilting causes a great variety of problems such as: dryness, sensitive skin, constipation, bleeding, lack of lubrication and more. They lose their sexuality by not being able to intimate with their partner, which leads them to question their body and person which becomes a mental problem. Women who have gone through this usually carry the problem silently and unaided. We must put the light on this situation and see how we can provide them with the right information and help.

A wild riot of colour as thousands celebrate London's Gay Pride Parade 2011. London 02.07.2011
This Saturday July 2nd 2011 saw the explosion of colour and fabulous carnival/cabaret fancy-dress which is the annual Gay Pride parade passing through the packed London streets as many Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual and Transgender groups representing special interest campaigning groups, trade unions, the armed forces, police service, christian groups and several of London's gay bars and clubs celebrated their sexuality and diversity, watched and cheered on by tens of thousands of enthusiastic members of the public.
The days celebrations were purposefully snubbed by London mayor Boris Johnson much to the anger and irritation of many, since Mr. Johnson is expected to show support for all Londoners. However, his greatest opponent in the upcoming mayoral elections, former London Mayor Ken Livingstone was to be seen - as always - at the head of the parade, accompanied by human and gay rights activist Peter Tatchell.
Gone was the nervous tension of the original trail-blazing Gay Pride marches of the late 1970's and early 80's, as a new generation of gay people enjoy far greater public acceptance of their lifestyle in what feel like more enlightened times. What is taken for granted now was fought for in the past by courageous activists and their political supporters who wanted to see an end to the homophobic bigotry and institutionalised discrimination which used to be the universal public position towards them.
Having said that, there was a demonstration set up at the bottom of Waterloo Place by a group of so-called Christians from the Baptist Church - some of whom looked like they had been time-warped directly from the 1950's, complete with emotional constipation - who spent the entire afternoon insulting and demeaning all gay people and anyone who accepts homosexuality as a part of the enormously wide spectrum of human sexuality by cherry-picking snippets from the Bible completely without proper context, and generally showing themselves up to be nothing more than a bunch of hate-filled bigots who hilariously claim to love the people they were standing there belittling.
My photos of the Baptists and the crowd's reactions to being assaulted by the pious abuse are already uploaded in my set "Baptists preach intolerance at Gay Pride Parade".
After the parade made its way from Portland Place to Trafalgar Square, the marchers and bystanders alike dispersed into Soho for some serious street partying which lasted late into the night. There was a main stage in Trafalgar Square which hosted a long rosta of minor-league pop and dance acts during the afternoon, though oddly this year there were no big-name headliners, and another Dance Stage in Soho Square which featured a great line-up of club DJs.

Fruit
The bael fruit has a smooth, woody shell with a green, gray, or yellow peel. It takes about 11 months to ripen on the tree and can reach the size of a large grapefruit or pomelo, and some are even larger. The shell is so hard it must be cracked with a hammer or machete. The fibrous yellow pulp is very aromatic. It has been described as tasting of marmalade and smelling of roses. Numerous hairy seeds are encapsulated in a slimy mucilage.
Uses
The fruit is eaten fresh or dried. If fresh, the juice is strained and sweetened to make a drink similar to lemonade. It can be made into sharbat (Hindi) or Bela pana (Oriya: ବେଲ ପଣା) or bel pana (Bengali: বেল পানা), a refreshing drink made of the pulp with water, sugar, and lime juice, mixed, left to stand a few hours, strained, and put on ice. One large bael fruit may yield five or six liters of sharbat.
Bili Tree
If the fruit is to be dried, it is usually sliced and sun-dried. The hard leathery slices are then simmered in water.
The leaves and small shoots are eaten as salad greens.
The Tamil Siddhars call the plant koovilam (கூவிளம்) and use the fragrant leaves for medicinal purposes, including dyspepsia and sinusitis. A confection called ilakam (இளகம்) is made of the fruit and used to treat tuberculosis and loss of appetite.[2] It is used in Ayurveda for many purposes, especially chronic constipation.
Happy Days from 2004. We lost Harvey to cancer in the spring of 2006, and I am very sad to report that I had to make the hard decision to have Lucy put to sleep two days ago. To explain, here is a post I made shortly after taking that heart-breaking action:
I have sad news: I had Lucy put to sleep this morning. It was a hard decision to make, and I hope you all don't hate me for it. I have struggled with her inappropriate peeing problem for so long, including vet visits, special food, all sorts of accommodations to try to help her, but nothing worked. I had high hopes for the new floor but caught her squatting over the computer cables yesterday afternoon, hauled her out of there, and she leaked on the floor. I think her prolonged hiding this weekend as a result of the floor installation gave her constipation. She had had kidney stones, repeated UTIs, was obese. And Jagger had started jumping her for sport...
Can't type much because of the wrist injury I got this weekend getting ready for the floor installation. As I looked into the future, all I saw was things getting worse, along with lots of vet bills... She didn't even come out of hiding once this morning. Not much quality of life there. I hadn't made up my mind when I got up this morning, but just couldn't take it any more. I really hated to do it. I did love her. Now the house feels terribly empty and I am very, very sad.

This is one the most widely used plant in the Indian Ayurvedic system of medicine. Various parts of the plant especially the roots had been extensively used for thousands of years in the Indian traditional medicine formulations such as Dashamoola, Chyanprasha, Haritakia, Ayushyavardhaak Taila and Narayana Taila.
Among the various medicinal uses reported for the roots are for treating diabetes, chyluria,
gonorrhoea, inflammation, swelling, bronchitis, dyspepsia, headache, liver disorder, piles, constipation and fever. Some pharmacological studies have revealed that the plant also possesess anti-coagulant, anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic properties. Recent laboratory research has been undertaken into the possible cardiac stimulant activity of its bark and wood extracts.
Carl Linnaeus named this plant in 1771 based on a specimen whose leaves were somewhat serrated, and that explains his choice of the specific epithet ‘serratifolia’ for a species that generally has smooth-edged leaves.
This particular species is also encountered in the literature as Premna integrifolia and Premna corymbosa (Bangladesh).
This is a small tree or shrub that grows along the coasts and islands of tropical and subtropical Asia, Africa, Australia and the Pacific.

=================================================================
Rhubarb (Rheum rhabarbarum) is a species of plant in the family Polygonaceae. They are herbaceous perennials growing from short, thick rhizomes. They have large leaves that are somewhat triangular, with long fleshy petioles. They have small flowers grouped in large compound leafy greenish-white to rose-red inflorescences.
In culinary use, fresh raw petioles (leaf stalks) are crisp (similar to celery) with a strong, tart taste. Most commonly, the plant's leaf stalks are cooked with sugar and used in pies and other desserts. A number of varieties have been domesticated for human consumption, most of which are recognised as Rheum x hybridum by the Royal Horticultural Society.
Rhubarb is usually considered a vegetable. In the United States, however, a New York court decided in 1947 that since it was used in the United States as a fruit, it counted as a fruit for the purposes of regulations and duties. A side effect was a reduction on imported rhubarb tariffs, as tariffs were higher for vegetables than fruits.
Rhubarb contains anthraquinones including rhein, and emodin and their glycosides (e.g. glucorhein), which impart cathartic and laxative properties. It is hence useful as a cathartic in case of constipation.

La rhubarbe (genre Rheum) est le nom commun d'une trentaine d'espèces de plantes herbacées vivaces de la famille des Polygonacées.
C'est une plante vigoureuse des régions tempérées, aux rosettes de grandes feuilles pétiolées (seuls ses pétioles d'environ 50 cm de long sont comestibles), gaufrées, grossièrement triangulaires.
Les feuilles naissent de courts rhizomes (tiges souterraines) et sont toxiques, contrairement au pétiole qui est la partie de la plante consommée.
Celui-ci, de couleur vert rougeâtre, arrondi et canaliculaire, mesure jusqu'à 50 cm de longueur pour 3 à 7 cm de largeur et d'épaisseur.
Les parties aériennes de la plante disparaissent totalement pendant l'hiver.
