发帖数: 9094 | 1 The Facts About Canola Oil
Having pinned down the sources of most of this, let's move on to a good
representative sampling of the claims made within the text.
"Here are just a few facts everyone should know before buying anything
containing canola. Canola is not the name of a natural plant but a made-up
word, from the words 'Canada' and 'oil.' Canola is a genetically engineered
plant developed in Canada from the Rapeseed Plant, which is part of the
mustard family of plants. "
It is true that can... 阅读全帖 |

What bothers me so much about this year's MVP coronation of "The Derrick
Rose Story" is not so much that it's a mistake -- we've had bad award votes
before and will have them again -- but that it's the same mistake, for the
fifth time in 11 years.
This is an inherent risk in the MVP selection process. When you ask people
whose life's work is to seek out and tell great stories to vote on this
award, we shouldn't be surprised when they turn out to vote for the best
story rather than the playe... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 9375 | 5 Let it be warned that if DFL BFL or MFL accepts xiaok -- and thus inflicts
the board with his inevitable and incessant daily harangue on fantasy topics
-- I will preempt this travesty by running for banzhu and, if elected,
declare and execute a total ban on fantasy here.
Try me. Don't doubt my resolution. And frankly, if I fail to stop him,
this board will simply split into two, as many have also already suggested.
It really will, and should, in that case. For everyone's benefit. |

Also it is said that Big Ben was ranked No. 12 among all quarterbacks in the
list, and three Rookie QBs are all in the list, obviously ahead of Big Ben.
SO
QBs ahead of Ben:
Obvious ones: Rodgers, Brady, Peyton, Brees, Eli
Rumors said so: RGIII, Luck, Wilson,
Better last season and should be ahed of ben: Flacco, Ryan....
so only one spot left, should be among these three: Cam Newton, Tony Romo,
Schaub
who is the ONE? |

发帖数: 10345 | 7 Repeal the ‘Stand Your Ground’ law
The “Stand Your Ground” laws in Florida and other states should all be
repealed. At best, they are redundant. At worst, as in the Trayvon Martin
killing, they are nothing but a license to kill.
Police in Sanford, Fla., cited the statute as grounds for their decision not
to file charges against Martin’s killer, George Zimmerman. Martin, 17, was
strolling home from a convenience store, armed with an iced tea and a bag
of Skittles, when Zimmerman — a neighborhood ... 阅读全帖 |

his family were assured of this on numerous occassions. It never came out
until they spoke with one another and Tebow stated he was assured he was
being recruited as a qb. Once they both confronted Meyer he came out and
said both were being recruited at qb . Snead then decommitted.

标 题: 电影《林肯》影评、引申思考、兼论民主制度得与失

去年11月去电影院看大片《林肯》，发现一个怪现象，里面有很多段落台词，美国人笑
的前仰后合，我尽管也看懂听懂了，但完全不知道哪里好笑。当时想到，肯定是对很多
背景故事、典故不了解导致的（比如美国人看《建国大业》王宝强说“前面有个地主大
院攻不下来”估计也笑不出来）。上周末下载了字幕版仔细的看了一遍，对这部电影清

首先列举一下电影中出现的围绕废奴问题的几个派别和代表人物
1. 坚决反对废奴派：George Pendleton议员和Fernando Wood议员。他们是国会民主党
领袖。其中Fernando Wood出身是纽约大资本家，主要想的是和南方做生意，打仗对他
影响极大。而George Pendleton和林肯除了政见不同，还是竞选对手，他作为副总统参

2. 反对战争，但对废奴有保留派：这部分人是共和党保守派。代表人物是Francis
Preston Blair，尽管Blair当时已经不在议会任职，但他的政治势力仍然极大（他本人
创建了共和党，他的家Blair House现在是美国国宾馆）。要说服共和党保守派，必须
得到他的支持。

A Muslim man from Michigan is suing the Little Caesar’s pizza chain for $

with pork pepperoni, rather than the certified-halal meat he had asked for.
The Detroit Free Press reported Friday that Dearborn resident Mohamad Bazzi

sunset Friday — because he wants to warn fellow Muslims to not order from

(CBS News) BEIJING - At a book party in Beijing, American author Joy Chen
offered dating advice for Chinese women.
"If (you) are on a date," she said, "presenting how awesome and impressive
we are at work might not be the best way to impress a man."
Chen, a former deputy mayor of Los Angeles and a successful businesswoman,
is the author of the Chinese language book, "Do Not Marry Before Age 30," in

The way led along upon what had once been the embankment of a railroad. But
no train had run upon it for many years. The forest on either side swelled
up the slopes of the embankment and crested across it in a green wave of
trees and bushes. The trail was as narrow as a man's body, and was no more
than a wild-animal runway.
Occasionally, a piece of rusty iron, showing through the forest-mold,
advertised that the rail and the ties still remained. In one place, a ten-
inch tree, bursting through... 阅读全帖 |

Artemisinin’s discovery is being talked about as a candidate for a Nobel
