Asparagus is a member of the lily family along with onions and garlic. Under ideal conditions an asparagus spear can grow 10″ in a 24-hour period. Size matters -- the thicker the diameter the better. Asparagus was considered a delicacy and was prized by the Romans and Greeks. The Greek word for stalk or shoot is asparagus. Asparagus is known to have diuretic properties, be a laxative, and even a sedative. Some people notice a strong odor in their urine after eating asparagus this may be due to a sulfur compound called a mercaptan that is in asparagus which when broken down releases a funny scent.[/SIZE][/I] [B][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#ff8000][SIZE=6]SU News[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT][/B] [IMG]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DAipmvJXoAEbW6U.jpg[/IMG] [B][URL="http://sujuiceonline.com/2017/05/24/recruiting-roundup-marek-dolezaj-syracuse-meechi-harris-narrows-list-nine/"]Recruiting Roundup: Marek Dolezaj to Syracuse, Meechi Harris narrows list to nine - The Juice Online[/URL] (the juice; Cheng)[/B] [I]Congratulations to Casey Powell, who will be [URL='http://cuse.com/news/2017/5/23/mens-lacrosse-casey-powell-to-be-enshrined-in-us-lacrosse-hall-of-fame.aspx?path=mlacrosse']enshrined[/URL] in the U.S. Lacrosse Hall of Fame!

Redhouse, which currently has a small theater in Armory Square, is spending $10 million on the project and hopes to have a soft launch in March 2018. The building at 400 Salina Street has been vacant for several years, its last major tenant was Sibley’s, which closed in 1989. Before then it was home to Keith’s Theater, described when it opened in 1920 as "the New Million Dollar Temple of Vaudeville." The founders of the B.. Keith’s vaudeville theater chain called it "the most beautiful theater in America" and an article in the Herald-Journal in 1994 described it as "elegant, with its marble pillars, rich with its hangings and broad staircase, beckoning to the expensive loge, calling to the cheap seats in the balcony." Through the middle of the 20th century it, and the other classic theaters in downtown, brought people downtown for entertainment, first Vaudeville shows then silent movies and "talkies," before radio, TV, and suburban mall movie theaters "stole awed audiences from the grandeur."
