A Shade Loving, Early Blooming Perennial

Through the years a variety of plants have come to be called "Christmas Rose"; they are all steeped in a legend that dates back centuries. Most frequently, the plant Americans associate with the Christmas Rose legend is the hellebore.

In late winter the first plants to bloom in my garden are the Christmas hellebores - often first appearing when there is still snow on the ground. Their blooms and evergreen foliage brighten the winter garden and offer a hint of the spring to come. Native to much of Europe, hellebores were grown in Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia as early as 1793 and today it seems that gardeners can't get enough of them. Over the past decade, plant breeders have created many new hybrids of the latter blooming Lenten Rose (Helleborus orientalis). Now they have started to work their magic upon the Christmas Rose (Helleborus niger).

The Christmas Rose Legend

When the Magi laid their rich offerings of myrrh, frankincense, and gold, by the bed of the sleeping Christ Child, legend says that a shepherd maiden stood outside the door quietly weeping.

She, too, had sought the Christ Child and desired to bring him gifts. But she had nothing to offer, for she was very poor indeed. She had searched the countryside over for one little flower to bring Him, but she could find neither bloom nor leaf, for the winter had been cold.

And as she stood there weeping, an angel passing saw her sorrow, and stooping, the angel brushed aside the snow at her feet. And there sprang up on the spot a cluster of beautiful winter roses, -- waxen with light pink petals.

"Nor myrrh, nor frankincense, nor gold," said the angel, "is offering more meet for the Christ Child than these pure Christmas Roses." These the shepherd maiden carries to Jesus, who smiles broadly and touches them, turning them pale pink.

Double Fantasy Christmas Rose Gift Offer

This year we have the brand new double Christmas Rose - 'Double Fantasy' that will make a lovely and thoughtful gift. 'Double Fantasy' features pure white, ruffled blooms with several rows of petals that look even more like true roses. They "pop" against the evergreen dark green foliage. 'Double Fantasy' can be kept in the house and planted in the garden in the spring. It will look lovely under deciduous trees, next to shady patios or courtyard gardens. Be sure to plant your Christmas Rose up close, so you can enjoy its beautiful blooms in mid-winter. 'Double Fantasy' provides a pleasant textural diversion in a bed of hostas, or in a mixed border. And, deer do not eat hellebores.

Planting and Care

'Double Fantasy' is permanent and easy to grow. It matures into a mound of evergreen leaves ultimately almost three feet wide and 18-24 inches high and lasts for decades. In most North American climates, where the soil freezes, a winter thaw will bring the much appreciated floral display.

Blessed be the Lord Jesus Christ. First I would like to ask you a question, do you love Jesus? Is He your best friend? Are you looking for Him ? As we all were before becoming saved and walking with Him. Do you feel alone in this terrible and often times cruel, unforgiving, understanding world? Have you lost loved ones, friends, family, or maybe yourself? Do you feel a hole or void in your life that is empty blackness without escape?

If you can answer yes to any of these questions , the answer is so simple and so true. Just turn your heart to Jesus. He loves you. He will be your best friend, your comforter, your all if you let Him. All you have to do is humble yourself, bend the knee and if unable to then bend the heart. You don't have to be in a church to ask Jesus into your heart, you can be saved anywhere at anytime!! Isn't that an awesome concept. If you know you are a sinner and wish for forgiveness, and to walk in life with Jesus in peace, joy and love , He is the door, the light, and the way. He can heal you in ways doctors never can. He can remove old hurts and strongholds in your life that no one else will ever be able to. No matter of hours put in at a psychologist office will ever do for you what accepting the Lord Jesus Christ into your heart will do. He can remove all sorts of bad habits or sinful things we all have to be ashamed of.

Are you angry because of your past? Did you live an unfair childhood? Are you living an unfair adulthood? Are you abused (past or present)? Believe me I know your pain, but Jesus can free you from it, from the anger , and the resentment. Are you angry with your spouse , are you living in an unhappy marriage? Do your children run amuck? Seemingly to never know when to mind and be still? Are you unhappy with your job, your house, your life, your weight, your everything?

These things plague you because you need to turn to Jesus. Let him fill you with the peace, joy and love only He is able to give. Let Him be your Savior, your reason for living , and your all.

No I am not some holy roller, up until July 22, 2007 I was knee deep in sin. I was 29 at that time, unsaved, and I had many many sins in my life. Some worse than others a few really big time sins against God. I was unhappy with everything, my life, my husband, my weight, my children. There were days I wished the world would open up and swallow me whole. On July 22, 2007 my daughter begged me to come to see her baptized, yes she had to beg because I did not want anything to do with a church house or it's people. But seeing those sweet hazel eyes of hers brimmed with tears was more that I could bare. So I agreed to go , I got dressed , dreading the whole thing believe me. We went and I heard the sermon, the preacher was speaking about Hell, and the pain for all eternity if we went there instead of Heaven. I do not think I have ever been so scared in all my life. My heart began to race , I began to sweat and tremor. I looked down and I was literally gripping the pew bench with white knuckles. At the end of the sermon the preacher said to everyone " we are going to have a few minutes of invitation". Now being the sinner I was I did not understand what that meant at that time. But everyone had there eyes closed and they were praying. I was thinking to myself if I can just last a few more minutes I will be out of here. But all of the sudden there was a tug on my chest, it truly felt like someone had grabbed the front of my shirt with both hands and was pulling me to the alter. It was frightening and joyful all at once. I knew without a doubt it was Jesus. I got to my feet somehow though as of now I do not really remember walking to the alter and falling on my knees to pray. That very minute I said to Jesus , please I know I am a sinner , but please take these sins away, please forgive me, please love me too. Please come into my heart and He did. Even though I know I am not worthy He loves me enough to save me.

Jesus loves you too. Please do not ever forget that He loves you too. And He only wants the very best for us here and in the afterlife. Do you want to call Heaven your home someday? I know I do and will. God Bless you always.

Like many baby-boomers, I had read about the Virgin Mary's Fatima Prophecies. So when 1960 rolled around, I was very disappointed when the Vatican refused to release the famous Third Secret of Fatima. By the time the Third Secret was finally released in 2000, I had been a practicing civil rights attorney for more than twenty years and had sued government officials, federal judges and even a sitting U.S. President. This experience had shown me how high ranking officials in bureaucracies use stonewalling, disinformation, tampering and retaliation to preserve and promote their own secret agendas.

Even if you're not a fan of the Virgin Mary, you'd be hard-pressed not to recognize that the Vatican has routinely employed these and other techniques to thwart messages the Virgin Mary had has been reported to have given during the Modern Marian Era.

It began in 1846 when Mary appeared to two shepherd children at La Salette, near the French Alps. After the local bishop and Vatican approved the apparition, Melanie Calvat, one of the seers, disclosed a secret given to her by the Virgin in a book she wrote in 1879. Because Melanie's book chastised the apostasy in the Catholic Church, and predicted enemies of Christ would abolish civil and canon law, the Vatican flip-flopped and banned the book. All copies were ordered destroyed.1

Both the tone and content of the letters the Vatican had written in their attempts to keep Melanie Calvat from publicly sharing the Secret of La Salette reminded me of a letter I received from the U.S. Attorney in San Francisco. Written in response to my allegations of fraud and failures in the Reagan Administration's enforcement of civil rights laws, it simply read, "These cases are over. There is nothing further to be done in them. Close your file."

La Salette was not the only time the Roman Curia has tried to put a muzzle on the Mother of God. It had done so with the Fatima's Third Secret as well. So urgent was Our Lady's message contained in it, the Vatican dispatched an envoy with a copy to President Kennedy, Soviet leader Nikita Krushchev and British Prime Minister Harold MacMillan. As a result, a treaty was signed by nearly 200 nations which banned nuclear testing in the air, on land and on sea.2

Although it was Our Lady's clear intent the Third Secret be revealed to the public in 1960, the Vatican failed to do so until 2000. Even now, there is a small army of clergy, writers, forensic experts and members of the faithful who contend the Vatican's version does not line up factually or logically with what is known about the Secret. They believe that like the La Salette Secret, it contains a chastisement of Church leaders and warns of future attacks on civil rights and cannon law.

This sent me on a mission to learn all I could about the secrecy surrounding the Virgin Mary. I discovered her first apparition in the United States was reported to have been made to George Washington at Valley Forge, in 1777. An account of the event was published in The National Tribune and discussed more recently by acclaimed Marian expert Janice T. Connell. 3 It seemed very revealing that I couldn't recall having been taught this in history classes or ever reading about it in any religious literature.

The next case I came upon occurred in 1949, when Mary Ann Van Hoof, a housewife in Necedah, Wisconsin, reported visits from the Virgin Mary. When an estimated 100,000 pilgrims flocked to her small farm, the local bishop declared the visions to be false and prohibited worship there. When Mrs. Van Hoof and her followers continued their worship, they were placed under interdiction.4

I also read in the December 9, 1974, issue of The New York Times about reported apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Bayside New York. After the local bishop banned worship at the site, seer Veronica Lueken and her followers eventually moved to a permanent shrine near Shea Stadium. After an investigation, the bishop ruled the apparitions lacked authenticity and were contrary to church teachings.5

The La Salette and Bayside apparitions had several things in common. They were the first public apparitions in the United States. They warned of secrecy and wrongdoing by Church and government officials centered around money, information, civil rights and education. Both also involved retaliation against the seers and sham, self-serving investigations by Church officials.

In an attempt to test my theory that the Virgin's messages have been suppressed, I requested a copy of the Bayside investigation findings from Nicholas DiMarzio, Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn. To my amazement, the Bayside apparitions had been disapproved without any input or interviews with Veronica Lueken, or her many followers.

April Fools' Conversion?

I've been pretty outspoken about my rejection of religion for a while, but I'm very excited about this April Fools' prank:

thats kind of stupid find a better prank

People who think Jesus would be against universal health care - a question....?

Have you ever been to a hospital in Canada or Japan or western Europe?

Of course I forgot how Faux news was a bastion of truth.

I live in Europe and our hospitals are as clean as anyone else's. We don't 'pull the plug' either.

As for Jesus, I think that he would be for something that ensures that people have access to the medical treatment they need, regardless of ability to pay.

According to Hinduism,God is Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent. Let me elaborate this to the best of my ability and limited knowledge. God, please forgive me for any mistakes because I have zero knowledge. My knowledge is limited to zero unless you give me the knowledge about yourself.

Omnipotent-

God can do anything. God is all-powerful and can do anything. It is a play for him/her. He creates this world in zero time. And he can destroy this world at will in zero time. It is a game for him. He makes his own rules but can break them when he wishes. There are many instances in Hindu mythology when God has broken his own rules and defied his laws. In Mahabharata the saving of Draupadi is one such instance. God, your power is indescribable. Who am I to talk about that?

Omniscient-

God knows everything about this world. He knows all about how he created it and what goes on inside the world. For him there is no mystery. He is the knower of all. He knows the past births of everything and knows about what that animal or person will do in this life and the coming lives. There is nothing left unknown to God because he creates the world himself. There is nothing such as free human will. We think that we are doing something but God has predetermined everything.

Omnipresent-

God is present everywhere at the same time. According to Hinduism God creates the whole cosmos/world in himself and there is nothing that is present without him. God is present in everything at all the times. If this was not so, we would come to a question that if God is not present somewhere than what is present there? The answer is unknown. Hence it is God who is present everywhere.

The great Siddhas of India open the eyes of their disciples about this. Once the disciple knows that he/she is himself God all ignorance goes away and the disciple gets free of rebirth and all other pains.

The efficient mode of production and distribution created by Hollywood is known as the studio system. The narratives of classical Hollywood cinema displayed certain important traits found in the majority of studio productions. The first is that the events on screen should be clear to the viewer and he should never be in doubt about space or time. The second is unity, meaning there should be direct cause and effect connections, third are goal-oriented characters, and fourth is closure. The other elements of the film, including mise en scene, editing, lighting, and sound become secondary to the narrative by using transparent techniques, which allow the viewer to pay more attention to the narrative and less attention to the less important elements of the craft. Breathless (Jean-Luc Godarard, 1960) is part of what is called the International Art Cinema.

This system does not emphasize the narrative in most cases. Hollywood films were made with the main goal of being commercial profitable having stock, featuring uninteresting characters and a style which was virtually transparent to the viewer. International Art Cinema departs from these conventions having characters that are not necessarily goal-oriented, plots in which not much action takes place on screen for extended periods of time. Godard's Breathless is a perfect film to juxtapose the classical Hollywood studio system. In Breathless the mise en scene, sound, and editing are all determined by Godard's attempt to at once duplicate and pay homage to genre, specifically film noir, and the Classical Hollywood style.

Breathless is about a petty thief who shoots a motorcycle cop and needs to go into hiding. He returns to Paris to coax his American girlfriend to come to Italy with him and to collect money from someone who owes it to him. This is the basic story Breathless and differs from Classical Hollywood in its execution. All of the aspects of Classical Hollywood style (clarity of events, cause and effect connections, goal-oriented characters, and closure) are put under the microscope by clever use of mise en scene, sound, editing and lighting.

The most notable editing choice in Breathless is its use of jump cuts, which remove the middle section of a continuous shot. Not only does this distort space and time, it is disorienting to the viewer and can make events seem unclear. Classical Hollywood Cinema avoids using jump cuts by either implementing the 30-degree rule or by use of shot/reverse shot technique. Early on in the film, Michel is driving his stolen car back to Paris the montage of his car trip is show through the jump cut edit. The entire audio track remains uncut. Time is cut in the video but remains whole in the audio so there is a dissonance between space and time in the audio and video. This technique is also implemented in a scene involving Michel and another woman in her apartment. Both characters will seemingly change their positions because the middle part of a shot was cut out while the audio track remains constant and uncut.

Jesus is a caregiver, part time. He takes care of kids and reviews baby products. You can check out his recent where he writes about a Storkcraft Baby Crib and a Baby Crib Bumper.

FIFA 09 Manager mode team?

Hey, I just want to see you're FIFA 09 Manager mode team.
Is mine any good?

I think Almunia is terrible... Try another keeper like Cech or Buffon.
You can put Dani Alves as your right back or maybe Sagna.
Between Mpenza and Agbonlahor, I prefer Agbonlahor.

Your team is good, man. Good luck!

There! There's that noise again!

W-w-w-what c-c-c-could it be? Is there a goblin at my window?!

Or is it just a branch of a tree rubbing up against the side of my home...?

Elementary, My Dear Watson

Most folks understand that humans have a tendency to look for patterns in reality and that skill serves us well when there actually is a pattern to be recognized. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people can not seem to stop fantasizing about their imagined special arrangement of circumstances and that is when all the trouble starts.

We begin to hallucinate that people are talking about us when we enter a room. So and so is up to something and we can see some strange allegiances beginning to form.

Or maybe its the way that whats his name smirks whenever we meet. That dude is up to no good and we are convinced of it. And this is probably not the best time for us to realize that our spouses are cheating on us because they bought those new shoes and underwear.

Man, is everybody planning to hoop us?

Alas, these are all thoughts from perfectly deranged individuals who are plagued by the challenge of Pareidolia, a psychological phenomenon where random and ambiguous events take on special meaning for the person experiencing the situation.

Alligator Lizards In The Air

Pareidolia is the human perception which allows elephants, sharks and Santa's face to drift lazily overhead in warm afternoon cloud formations and it is also responsible for getting us in a whole heap 'o trouble.

People see Jesus on tortilla chips, The Virgin Mary on cheese toast and monkeys in tree bark and its not just one person witnessing these big events. Thousands of people see the same thing, especially after it has been carefully pointed out to them. Ahem.

There are some perilous downsides to being unaware of the fact that humans are afflicted with this trait. Here are just a few of the more unhumorous situations that Pareidoilia has inflicted upon our reality:

• People see patterns of inferiority or superiority in various human cultures or races. This is as ridiculous as contemplating the notion that green cars are faster than red cars.
• Employers notice behaviors of shirking or slacking off and broach the subject with employees before checking actual results. Paredoilia has warped the mind of more than one manager when they misread a staff member's inactivity for slacking when it was actually the result of someone capably completing work sooner than planned.
• Companies see trends in the marketplace which are non existent and then act on this fallacy. Misreading the cues of the economy has tanked more than one enterprise and it is important to understand that all of us are prone to recognizing economic patterns that don't exist.
• The grass is always greener somewhere else and we can see it from here. "How are folks where you come from?" asks the old timer to a new arrival to Greener Grassville. "Ignorant," says the traveler, "how are folks here?" "Ignorant here, too" replies the senior.

Get Back To Where You Once Belonged

Just recognizing the fact that we humans are both endowed and stricken by incredible methods of garnering meaning from reality is enough to ensure we proceed cautiously when interpreting our existence.

I assure you, that scratching you hear outside the window is not a goblin.

That is our barky friend Mr. Poplar tickling your abode with his skinny, scrawny fingers.

So c'mon now, just go back to sleep.

Thank you, friend.

The Truth Behind Hip Hop G.Craige Lewis-Research?

Has anyone taken the time to research the claims on made on the video "The truth about Hip Hop?" I'd be interested in finding out how accurate the film is. Because there are so many claims I'd like to know what everyone else is discovering. I found an article pertaining to this subject that said "Underground DJ Danger Mouse mixed an a cappella version of Jay-Z's The Black Album with the Beatles' The White Album to make The Grey Album. If you play the track Interlude normally it makes no sense; however, when played backwards it includes the lyrics "666..., Murder, Murder, Jesus". The track was made to be played backwards, and DJ Danger Mouse simply samples Jay-Z's voice and edits it to make him say what he wants. The album is not made or endorsed by Jay-Z, yet Lewis does not make this clear." http://www.clarkyboy.com/hiphop.htm Please let me know what you've found. You can visit me at www.intunelive.com

Where might I find a replica costume of the character Jesus Quintana from the film The Big Lebowski?

I doubt very much that you'd be able to find one.

It also begs the question why, in a movie filled with cool characters, do you want to dress up as the pedophile?

Just by a pair of leather sandals, courderoy shorts, white t-shirt and a bathrobe and go as the Dude.
