From Wikipedia -
Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) is a perennial, herbaceous flowering plant of the aster family Asteraceae. It is also known as common tansy, bitter buttons, cow bitter, or golden buttons.
Tansy is native to Eurasia; it is found in almost all parts of mainland Europe, as well as Britain and Ireland. It is absent from Siberia and some of the Mediterranean islands. The ancient Greeks may have been the first to cultivate it as a medicinal herb. In the sixteenth century it was considered to be "necessary for a garden" in Britain.
It has been introduced to other parts of the world including North America, and in some areas has become invasive.
Tansy has a long history of use. It was first recorded as being cultivated by the ancient Greeks for medicinal purposes. In the 8th century AD it was grown in the herb gardens of Charlemagne and by Benedictine monks of the Swiss monastery of Saint Gall. Tansy was used to treat intestinal worms, rheumatism, digestive problems, fevers, sores, and to bring out measles.
During the Middle Ages and later, high doses were used to induce abortions. Contradictorily, tansy was also used to help women conceive and to prevent miscarriages. In the 15th century, Christians began serving tansy with Lenten meals to commemorate the bitter herbs eaten by the Israelites. Tansy was thought to have the added Lenten benefits of controlling flatulence brought on by days of eating fish and pulses and of preventing the intestinal worms believed to be caused by eating fish during Lent.
Tansy was used as a face wash and was reported to lighten and purify the skin. In the 19th century, Irish folklore suggested that bathing in a solution of tansy and salts would cure joint pain. Although most of its medicinal uses have been discredited, tansy is still a component of some medicines and is listed by the United States Pharmacopeia as a treatment for fevers, feverish colds, and jaundice.
Tansy has also been cultivated and used for its insect repellent and in the worm warding type of embalming. It was packed into coffins, wrapped in funeral winding sheets, and tansy wreaths were sometimes placed on the dead. Henry Dunster, the first president of Harvard University, was buried wearing a tansy wreath in a coffin packed with tansy; when “God’s Acre” was moved in 1846 the tansy had maintained its shape and fragrance, helping to identify the president’s remains. By the 19th century, tansy was used so much at New England funerals that people began to disdain it for its morbid association with death.
During the American colonial period, meat was frequently rubbed with or packed in tansy leaves to repel insects and delay spoilage. Tansy was frequently worn at that time in shoes to prevent malaria and other fevers; it has been shown, however, that some mosquito species including Culex pipiens take nectar from tansy flowers.
Tansy can be used as in companion planting and for biological pest control. It is planted alongside potatoes to repel the Colorado potato beetle, with one study finding tansy reduced the beetle population by 60 to 100%.
In England tansy is placed on window sills to repel flies; sprigs are placed in bed linen to drive away pests, and it has been used as an ant repellent.
In the 1940s, distilled tansy oil mixed with fleabane, pennyroyal and diluted alcohol was a well known mosquito repellent; collectors were paid five cents a pound for tansy in full bloom. Research has found that tansy extracts do indeed repel mosquitoes, but not as effectively as products containing DEET. In 2008, researchers in Sweden investigated the use of tansy to repel ticks, showing a 64–72% repellency for each oil constituent.

Recipe for Indian Opo Curry
Ingredients:
1 Opo (cut into small cubes)
1 tomato (cut into small cubes)
2 Tbsps of clarified butter (pure Indian Ghee)
1/4 tsp Turmeric
2-4 curry leaves (purchase in Indian markets)
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/4 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp channa daal
2 tsps coriander/cilantro leaves
Salt to taste
In a vessel or dish, pour the ghee and heat it for a minute and add the cumin seeds, channa daal, mustard seeds, turmeric, and curry leaves. Once the seeds pop out or make noise then add the opo into the dish and mix it well with other ingredients and cook it for 5 minutes and then add the tomato and salt to taste. Stir it again and cook it for 10 minutes or until soft. In the end garnish it with the cilantro leaves.
2) General Info about the Opo Squash.
Opo is one of the best vegetables to be had all year around, especially in the summer as it's very light on the stomach and is easy to digest. In general any squash is a good source of fiber and it helps relieve constipation, flatulence and piles. Always have the Opo squash in the cooked form, raw Opo may be harmful for your stomach and intestines.
Opo is a long narrow variety of squash, very similar to zucchini in flavor, that is often considered to be of African decent, but common in southern Europe and Asia. Grown most often in warmer climates, this squash grows from 6 to 36 inches long and 3 to 12 inches in diameter. The outer skin can range in color from yellow to green while the inner flesh, which contains seeds, is firm textured and white in color. When young, the squash has a mild flavor, but as it matures the taste becomes increasingly bitter. When it is allowed to grow larger in size, it is often used as containers, thus the alternate name of "bottle gourd." It is a good squash for sautéing, stir-frying, or as an ingredient for soups and stews. It can be kept refrigerated for approximately 1 week.
In addition to bottle gourd, other names commonly referred to for this squash are: calabash, Italian edible gourd, long fruited gourd, long melon, long squash, peh poh, woo lo kua, hu lu gua, New Guinea bean, Tasmania bean, snake gourd, suzza melon, or zuzza. The name given to this squash in other countries include: yugao (Japanese), po gua (Cantonese), kwa kwa or hu gua (Chinese), upo (Filipino), cucuzzi or cucuzza (Italian), bau (Vietnamese), and dudhi or lauki (Indian).
Opo squash description from "recipetips.com"
Monarda didyma (Bergamot, Scarlet Beebalm, Scarlet Monarda, Oswego Tea, or Crimson Beebalm) is an aromatic herb in the family Lamiaceae, native to eastern North America from Maine west to Ohio and south to northern Georgia. Its name is derived from its odor which is considered similar to that of the bergamot orange. The scientific name comes from Nicolas Monardes, who described the first American flora in 1569.
Bergamot is extensively grown as an ornamental plant both within and outside its native range; it is naturalized further west in the United States and also in parts of Europe and Asia. It grows best in full sun, but tolerates light shade and will thrive in any moist soil that is well-drained. Several cultivars have been selected for different flower color, ranging from white through pink to dark red and purple.
The name Oswego Tea comes from the Oswego Indians who taught the immigrants how to use it for tea after the Boston tea party in 1773. The flowers and leaves are good ingredients for potpourri making.
Note that the bergamot herb is not the source of bergamot oil, used to flavor Earl Grey tea; that comes from the bergamot orange, a Mediterranean citrus fruit.
Bee Balm has a long history of use as a medicinal plant by many Native Americans including the Blackfeet. The Blackfeet Indians recognized this plant's strong antiseptic action, and used poultices of the plant for skin infections and minor wounds. A tea made from the plant was also used to treat mouth and throat infections caused by dental caries and gingivitis. Bee Balm is the natural source of the antiseptic Thymol, the primary active ingredient in modern commercial mouthwash formulas. The Winnebago used a tea made from bee Balm as a general stimulant. Bee Balm was also used as a carminative herb by Native Americans to treat excessive flatulence.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale)
By Christa Sinadinos
Ginger has a broad range of beneficial medicinal and culinary uses. It is a digestive stimulant which increases salivary and gastric secretions. It can be used to reduce flatulence and to quell nausea. Ginger also reduces cramping of the stomach and bowels, as well as menstrual cramping. It can be used in the treatment of motion sickness, and can also help to reduce morning sickness.
As a warming diaphoretic, it can aid in breaking a fever. Ginger can be used as an adjunct treatment for the common cold or flu, bronchial pneumonia, and for chronic auto-immune conditions. It also has anti-microbial and anti-parasitic properties.
Ginger has anti-inflammatory actions which can be of value in treating rheumatoid arthritis. It is a circulatory stimulant which is helpful for individuals with cold hands and feet. Its blood-thinning actions may be useful in the prevention of heart attacks, and for individuals with high blood pressure.
**Contraindications: ginger has blood-thinning actions. Take similar precautions to those listed under the contraindications for garlic.**
Photographed at Sand Dunes National Park. This species is eaten by a wide variety of wildlife from Elk to rodents to grouse. Reading potential health uses for this plant, one can understand why wildlife is in such excellent health:
According to Moerman (1986) Artemisia frigida was used in the following ways:
• The Chippewa used it as an anti-convulsive, a
cure for “fits,” burned leaves to disinfect a contagious patient, inhaled a moxa for biliousness, put it on wounds to stop bleeding, made a decoction of the roots for a stimulant or tonic, and placed fresh leaves in nostrils and mouth as protection when “working with the dead.”
• Montana Indians used a decoction as a remedy for lung troubles.
• The Navaho-Ramah used a decoction of leaves to alleviate coughing, made a hot poultice of leaves for toothaches, and used the root for “life medicine.”
• The Potawatomi placed leaves and flowers on live coals to revive comatose patients.
• The Shuswap burned the plant to keep away mosquitoes.
• The Tewa chewed leaves for indigestion or flatulence.
• The Zuni used an infusion of the whole plant as a cold remedy.
Did they mean DMV as in Department of Motor Vehicles? Or is it a veterinarian concerned with animal flatulence?

Scatterbrain
By Michael Vance
Is Scatterbrain "Funny Ha-ha" or "Funny Strange", as touted on the cover blurb of its first issue? No. Does it matter? No. Why? Because Scatterbrain is unfunny strange but very good.
Sure, some of the artwork is odd, and the subject matter in the wild variety of this anthology is certainly out of the ordinary. But, funny? The only "unfunny strange" in Scatterbrain is an editorial slant that seems to equate this new miniseries with Mad magazine.
It ain't so, Moe.
The best feature of the first issue is "Tales of Red Erchie the Bold" is which an old man exaggerates a heroic adventure as the art reveals the mundane truth. "The Cluck of Fear", however, is a poor mix of unfunny animals and jokes about flatulence.
"The Misadventures of Tommy T-Rex" ties for best feature with "Erchie" in the second Scatterbrain. The robot in a single page "Mud Monkeys" is a waste of space.
Although the third issue opens with an interesting "Bronco Teddy" funny animal and cowboy parody, its manic energy dissipates in unsatisfying short pieces.
"Kid Cyclops", a one-eyed boy, and the cat in "The Poet Who Loved Tea" feature oversimplified, uninteresting art popular in some children's publications. A gentle dinosaur, "Tom", suffers from cuteness. An untitled piece on germs is well-drawn but pointless as is a silent, one page study of the child's game, "Rock Scissors Paper."
"Pip and Norton", quirky and well-drawn, has an interesting premise as an inhuman and his squat companion struggle to possess worthless junk. Regrettably, it spins nowhere quickly.
Each feature lacks either the wit, interesting art or cohesive plot that make for memorable comics.
On the strength of its first two issues and the potential of its fourth, Scatterbrain is still recommended.
“Scatterbrain” #s 1-3 (of 4)/26 pages, $2.95 each from Dark Horse/various artists and writers/sold in comic shops and by mail.

Top Ten Things I've Learned About Being a Pet - week 2
10. Despite what Mom says, nice, warm, stinky compost tastes great! I've only tried the vegetation variety, but I hear there is an animal variety that is also good.
9. Mom says that eating compost gives one a thing called "flatulence". I'm not sure what that is, but from Mom's reaction I take it that it is a bad thing.
8. Big brothers don't always play fair.
7. Mosquitoes are mean.
6. Any car door that is opened or closed within a half mile radius of the house poses a threat and requires loud verbal notification to all within the premises.
5. When all else is quiet, turning the pages of a book is also an annoyance and requires verbal notification to the offending party.
4. No matter how many times you pee nicely in the yard, if you do it just ONCE in the house your human will get all bent out of shape.
3. Don't let on that you know how to "sit", because then they will want you to "stay", and then "down"...it never ends. So just pretend to be a little stupid and be real inconsistent with "sit", and you will get lots of training treats and never have to learn all of that other stuff.
2. Your humans require help most of the time, but especially when cooking, getting out of the shower and dressing, and when gardening. You should NEVER abandon your human during any of these activities - even if they get silly and put peanut butter, baby powder, or dirt on your nose.
1. O.K., so there are still monsters in the basement, but you can VERY CAREFULLY poke your head around the corner of the stairs without them getting you.
upper left - Lycoperdon curtisii
Curtis' puffball - these dont get bigger than 1-2 cm. Cute fellas.
lyco perdon - wolf flatulence
species names that end in -ii generally refer to the person who named it, hence curtisii
upper right - Scleroderma citrinum
The Earthball - this gets much bigger, around 10 cm. Cut these open and you'll find brownish purple spores. Even though it looks like a canteloupe, these ones are poisonous.
Sclero derma - hard skin

lower left - Lycoperdon pyriforme
The most common puffball around these parts. I often find these guys in massive clusters overtaking a whole decomposing deadfall.
pyriforme - pear shaped
lower right - Lycoperdon perlatum
The Gem Studded Puffball - one of my favorites. Very pretty - bright white in color. This one is quite young, maybe a centimeter across, but they get five to six times bigger.
perlatum - widespread, enduring
A cross between a bean and a clam...long before the advent of genetic engineering.

Sooo... we were looking through the Walmart clearance as usual, and found these Funrise novelty toys for $1. We didn't remember seeing them in the toy aisles when they were full price (about $5) but we probably just overlooked them.
There are two series, the Fart Ninjas and the Burp Zombies. They are motion activated and make various flatulence and burping sounds, with other effects mixed in as well such as a doorbell and even a dramatic sting. "Dun dun DUUUNNN!"
I was interested because $1 toys. CM, however, found great delight in the sounds. One of them, the Burp Zombie, had had it's battery tag removed so it was active. Throughout our journeys the rest of the day we would hear the bodily sounds and CM would break out in laughter. 😊
I don't think I have enjoyed them as much as CM, but they are fun. In fact, we've had consistent fun with Funrise toys, such as their dinos.

"The pataphysical spirit is the nail in the tire -- the world, a wolf's mouth (lupo vesce). La gidouille is also a hot-air balloon, a nebulous or even a perfect sphere of knowledge -- the intestinal sphere of the sun. There is nothing to take away from death. Does a tire die? It renders its tire soul. Flatulence is at the origin of the breath."

Bloated belly, what to do? When the abdomen bloats uncomfortably and painfully, especially after meals, it is called a bloated stomach(meteorism). Here you can find out where the phenomenon comes from and what can be done about too much air in the stomach.
The most important facts in brief:
A bloated stomach like pregnant can also be painful.
- Most sufferers have a bloated belly directly after eating.
- The causes can be varied: In addition to food intolerance, stress, the wrong intestinal bacteria or certain diseases can cause a bloated belly.
- In addition to bloating belly home remedies, a colon cleanse with selected probiotics can provide relief.
A bloated stomach (meteorism) is when the stomach feels uncomfortably bloated after eating. A large number of people suffer from it, around 16–30% of the population have a bloated stomach.
A constantly bloated belly is usually not a bad thing and is usually caused by excessive gas production, food intolerance or disorders in the movement of the bowels. Unfortunately, it manifests itself in a big belly and can also often cause abdominal pain or a feeling of fullness.
Bloated stomach without gas?
Excessive gas accumulation in the abdomen can cause bloating as well as flatulence (meteorism) - the excess air in the abdomen does not come out, bulges the abdominal wall outward, and also pushes the intestinal walls outward (abdominal distension). A bloated hard abdomen is the result.

Women and men both are affected by this disease in same manner. The average age of people who suffer from this disease is between 20 and 40. After having been increasing in Europe and North America this disease has begun to stagnate there. This disease was not so popular in Asia; Africa and South America. New cases has been increased accordingly today. Ulcerative colitis should not be ignored in anyway and if it is detected at early stages then the Ulcerative colitis treatments might be more effective

The knight himself on his altar. He was a saint with a lot of humor. When after his murder he started to have miracle healings at his grave, his bad widow, ( whose lover had been the killer) said, that if her dead husband works miracles,she could sing out of her backside. She better would have not said so, as at once she suffered bad flatulences until she died. Alas he is legendary, no evidence in propper history, although it is said he was a man of Pippin and lived in 8th century. / Der Ritter selbst auf seinem Altar. Er war ein Heiliger mit sehr viel humor. Nachdem er ermordet worden war und an seinem Grab Wunderheilungen geschahen, sagte seine Witwe, (eine ganz ueble Person deren Liebhaber sein Moerder war) , dass wenn ihr toter Mann Wunder vollbraechte, sie genauso gut aus dem Hinterteil singen koennte. Das haette sie besser nicht gesagt, denn sofort kriegte sie arge Blaehungen, an denen sie schliesslich verschied. Er soll im achten Jahrhundert gelebt haben und ein Ministerialer vom Pippin gewesen sein. Leider gibt es gar keine zeitgenoessischen Quellen, nur viel spaetere Legenden und Viten.
