蕨菜又叫拳头菜、猫爪、龙头菜。学名：Pteridium aquilinum (Linn.) Kuhn var. latiusculum (Desv.)Underw.ex Heller，属于凤尾蕨科。 喜生于浅山区向阳地块，多分布于稀疏针阔混交林。其食用部分是未展开的幼嫩叶芽。蕨菜野生在林间、山野、松林内，是无任何污染的绿色野菜，不但富含人体需要的多种维生素，还有清肠健胃，舒筋活络等功效。蕨菜食用前经沸水烫后，再浸入凉水中除去异味，便可食用。经处理的蕨菜口感清香滑润，再拌以佐料，清凉爽口，是难得的上乘酒菜。还可以炒吃，加工成干菜，做馅、腌渍成罐头等。
蕨菜，根茎粗壮，富含淀粉，故名粉蕨或蕨粉，可做粉条、粉皮食用。其嫩苗似拳卷曲，故又称“拳头菜”。生于山林阴湿处，是中国南方山区群众喜食的一种野生蔬菜。食用时，去掉叶子和老化的根部，开水焯1分钟，用清水浸泡十分钟，泡去涩味，切断加油盐调料回锅炒熟食。因其味带涩，故有收敛治脱肛的功能。 |

1. 狮子队： 该队的防守线可称之为梦幻防线，这样的梦幻防线将让敌对的QB闻风丧胆
， 去年该队制造了44个麻袋， 整个联盟排第六， 今年应该很有希望突破50个吧！ 另

潜力无限，极大的弥补了上赛季防跑的弱项， 当然该组合在一起的时间有点太短，希
望随着赛程的进行该组合能很快的磨合起来进入比较好的状态。 当然该队在防守上极
大的隐忧就是后防上（DBs)， 但是因为该队的梦幻防线可以在很大程度上弥补后防的
不足， 所以该队的后防不需要像火箭队的后防那样出彩， 只需要中规中矩就可以了。
综上所述该队的整个防守进入联盟的前十应该悬念不大，如果打得很出彩的话应该蛮有

以前只在HBO上偶尔看过几集，集中起来看，真爽！
用2个兄弟情深的老兵串起整个故事。人物众多，层出不穷，又不让人觉得缭乱。故事
也跌宕起伏，刻在史书上的种种历史事件，普通小人物的家庭生活仇杀种种都互相胶着
影响。因为BBC的功底在那，感觉历史并没被编导们的艺术加工而被阉割。
你会看到勾心斗角，政治使然，可里面人物很多都能让人敬佩，因为他们的立场总是那
么坚定；
你会看到肆意的辱杀，人性使然，因为没有似乎没有整个道德上的对错，“仁慈被嘲弄
，残忍成了美德，个人的荣耀，对家人和自己的忠诚成了最大的追求”，但其实仔细看
看，你会发现很多人都在维护和尊重自己的对错标准，自然或不自然的追求属于自己的
荣耀；
你会看到放浪的性爱，本性使然，只要够强，可以随意的掳掠他人的妻，抢占自己的奴
隶，婚姻性爱也成为种种的工具，可还是有人在不断的寻求真爱，维护心底的真情。
