Season: These berries are at their best from May through September.
How to buy: Pick fragrant berries that are red from the tops to the tips, as they don't continue to ripen after harvest. Opt for organic: Strawberries are more likely than most fruits to have pesticide residue.
How to store: Keep in the fridge. Don't rinse or remove green tops until ready to use.
Nutritional benefit: These antioxidant-rich berries have the power to lower blood sugar, making them an especially sweet treat if you're diabetic or trying to lose weight. Strawberries also contain fisetin, which halts the growth of cancerous cells while diminishing tumors' blood supply.

Oh wow. I am so sorry for taking so long... again. Long story short, I moved to the other side of the world, not that that excuses the length of this delay.
But! New chapter! The final one of Strangeness and Charm! Huzzah! I just want to thank you for everything, for all the support and reviews. I love you all, especially for your patience.
Enjoy! And please, review :)
"How's it going under there?"
John's voice was muted in the dimly lit console room, his eyes unreadable as he offered the Doctor a small smile. The Time Lord in question had returned to his beloved tinkering, twisting wires into one another , his brows furrowed in concentration. Working, essentially so that he didn't have to think.
Rose had long since gone off to bed, shadows under her brown eyes, a wave of her hand dismissing his concerned, albeit somewhat awkwardly laid out offer that he join her.
He made a sort of humming noise absentmindedly as he pressed two wires together, causing the gentle rumble of the TARDIS to change frequency slightly. He cooed gently to her as he worked, only actually realising that John was stood waiting for an answer when the man in question leaned over, firmly tugging the strap of elastic holding his goggles in place, and releasing it with a ping and a sharp smack on the back of his head.
He tugged the goggles off, rubbing the back of his head sulkily.
"There was no need!" He grumbled, causing John to roll his eyes.
"Answer me then." He replied shortly, and the Doctor pulled a face.
"Just putting a firewall around the Matrix. Almost done." He didn't mean his tone to sound quite so...whiny and yet it came out exactly like that.
John smirked, a trace of cruelty simmering beneath the dark chocolate of his eyes, a reminder of the Dreamlord within.
"Aww..." He simpered mockingly, "are you going to make her talk again?"
The Doctor turned back to his wiring, face dark. He had had enough of this ,of it all ,quite frankly.
"...I can't."
"Oho." Snorted John, leaning against the railing of the stairs, ankles crossed over one another, arms folded, inspecting his nails in the very picture of self-assurance. Just hours ago- had it really been that short a time?!- he had been so tense, so aggressive... The doctor gritted his teeth, trying very much not to think about what could have happened in that time, that time with Rose, to make him so arrogant. "Why not? I probably could ..." He continued, his eyes positively sparkling with it now, that same smirk lighting his features, and making the Doctor's blood boil.
"Well actually, " The Doctor replied tersely, feeling very much like he was losing the battle, "you know as well as I that it's because the Time Lords discovered that if you take an eleventh-dimensional matrix and fold it into a mechanical then..."
John completely ignored him, very deliberately yawning, straightening and wandering over to the web of machinery, absentmindedly touching two wires together, causing them to spark alarmingly.
That about did it.
"Oi!" The Time Lord snapped impatiently. "Leave her alone."
"Sorry." He replied cheerfully, not meaning it a bit. Thus ensued a long and awkward silence, until he spoke again, softly, seriously.
" At the end, she was talking." The Doctors eyes flickered in his direction, interested despite the fact that he was angry, and scared and miserable and he just wanted Rose to be ok- he took a small breath to calm himself , listening as the faux Time Lord continued.
" She kept repeating something. Textbook enigmatic, she was." he mused, fingers tracing wiring delicately, thoughtfully, his eyes never leaving the mass.
This made him look over, that old instinctive curiosity, that very human urge to know warring with his dislike of conversation with John.
" What did she say?" The Doctor asked.
"The only water in the forest is the river." came the muted reply. "She said that we'd need to know that someday. It doesn't make sense, does it?" He finally looked up, into the Doctors eyes, the same curiosity that he felt was reflected in his clone's eyes.
"Not yet. You're right,though, " The Doctor conceded reluctantly, "...thats...enigmatic to a tee."
Staring at one another made the Doctor realise something. Beneath that annoying arrogance, there was something more. He was covering up, but the Doctor could see it. He could see how John still trembled ever so slightly, how his skin was still a shade too pale to be normal. His eyes were a little glassy too. Shock, thought the Doctor incredulously, and the question blurted out faster than he expected it to.
"... You OK?"
John looked at him in brief puzzlement, before shrugging nonchalantly.
"... Not really. I watched her die. I should be over all of that. I shouldn't feel bad that she died, why do I?"
The Doctor's blood boiled again at the nonchalance with which he mentioned the woman, his TARDIS. She had been absolutely amazing to meet, and yet John seemed to think she was worthless? How dare he?! But then he realised, John did feel bad, questioning why he mourned the loss of this woman.
"You're not the same man that killed all those Daleks. " The Doctor spoke quietly, almost inaudibly over the hum of the time ship. "Letting it get to you - you know what that's called?" he asked, looking to John who just stared, face unreadable. He continued regardless, his tone gentle. " Being alive. Best thing there is."
Johns jaw jumped for a second, an old warning sign.
" Being alive right now," The Doctor pressed, " that's all that counts.
" Don't get all sappy on me." John snapped, turning away and heading for the steps.
"Ah, yes. Well" The Doctor turned back to his wiring, speaking louder now, to be heard above, where John had begun to prowl around the console, a hand trailing across various devices and switches. " Nearly finished. Two more minutes, then we're off. The Eye of Orion's restful, if you like restful. We could never really get the hang of restful, do you remember Midnight?"
John snorted.
"Yes I do, thank you-" he cut off abruptly, a small smirk lighting his features again. "So, Doctor. You say I've changed?"
"Hmm? What? Oh, well, yes, a fair bit. Why?"
The smirk grew.
"So have you, you know." The Doctor didn't speak, but John knew he was listening from the stillness below. He continued, voice deliberately taunting. "Because I remember Midnight. I remember the fear we felt, when that thing invaded our mind, when it took us over, made us parrot everything, I remember how hard it was trying to take control and calm those poor people down, I remember not knowing how to help them, how to save them. And I remember , most of all, the agony of realising we didn't even think to ask that hostess' name. Remember her, the one who saved us all by dying?"
"Yes, that poor woman. Funny though, I remember swearing that she would be an example, that we would never again forget to ask for such a simple thing again."
"...What are you getting at?" The Doctor asked slowly.
"The TARDIS used a woman's body. What was her name?" John asked casually, triumphantly, knowing that the Doctor simply didn't have an answer. John tutted loudly in the dim lighting, and then suddenly, the Doctor was all movement, acting as though John hadn't just thrown the weight of the universe on his shoulders. He bounded up the steps, over to the console.
"Not the Eye then. What do you think, dear?" He asked his TARDIS, avoiding John's eye. " Where shall we take the kids this time?"
John's smirk widened.
"Look at you pair." He said, the lilting mocking tone returning, simmering beneath the surface. " It's always you and her, isn't it? Long after the rest of us have gone. A boy and his box, off to see the universe."
Relieved that he hadn't pressed the subject, though a little accusing voice in his head screamed 'coward' at him, the Doctor smiled.
"Well, you would know how it feels. But honestly, it's the best thing there is."
John reached out, twisting a dial slightly, his gaze sly.
" Better than her?"
Immediately, the Doctor froze, his gaze warning.
" Don't." He ordered.
" And why not?" Came the even retort. " 'Cos she's gonna be around the both of us for a long, long time." The reminder was subtle, but enough to twist the Doctors hearts painfully, another stab of guilt. " Either you prepare yourself for that," John warned softly. "Or I will happily take her off your hands."
The Doctor pinched the bridge of his nose, his voice tired.
" John, don't threaten me, we've moved past this."
His features positively glowed in the light of the console, eyes gleaming, though not with the old madness. With a confidence that the Doctor could swear he had drained from him, for he felt powerless, weak and far, far out of his depth.
" Now who said that was a threat?" John asked softly, tone measured and even, and even more thrilling for it. " Not me. And it's not. It's a promise. You and Rose, you can have all the happiness you want. But you remember, every little mistake...I'm the one who will pick up the pieces. I'm the one who comforts her. And one more big mistake, she'll welcome me back with open arms. So tread lightly, spaceman."
That said, he left the console room slowly, sure of himself, in knowing that the Doctor was so very near breaking point already. oh this, John thought, was going to be so very, very, simple.

The Panama Canal should be on everyone's list of must-see places. Named as one of the most fascinating places to experience in the world and boasting some of the best unspoilt scenery, it is no wonder that more and more people are choosing to cruise this amazing canal.
The Panama Canal is a 48 mile ship canal that connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, making it one of the most important routes in the world. There are locks at each end, and you will first-hand experience what it is like to be on a ship that has to rise 85 feet within a lock.
The splendour of cruising the Panama Canal is unlike anything thing else you will ever experience. As you pass through this amazing channel you will get to see the combination of natural and man-made, boasting an array of exotic, tropical rainforests.
The Panama Canal cruise season typically runs from October to April. The best time to go is after November when the rainy season is over.
More and more of your favourite cruise lines are adding Panama Canal to their itinerary list, enabling you to choose from a range of luxury cruises, family cruises or singles cruises.
Cruising through the Panama Canal can be done either from Atlantic to the Pacific or visa versa. Panama crossings take in the best of the Mexican Riviera as well as taking you through the impressive canal itself. The Panama canal is a 50 miles long and strecthes from Panama City on the Pacific coast through to Colon on the Atlantic coast, acting as a gateway between the world's largest oceans. While crusing along the canal you can take in the Gatun Locks, the former pirate paradise of Portobelo or the canal side jungle. The Mexican Riveira side of the cruise takes you to Acupulco, famous for its white sandy beaches and vibrant nightlife and Huatulco as well as Puntarenas in Costa Rica, home to some of the countries finest beaches and the Manuel Antonio Park.
Another option to take in a Panama Canal Cruise is to enjoy a Caribbean cruise with either a partial transit or a trip to Colon on the Atlantic cost of Panama. These cruises will often take you to a variety of Caribbean islands from the shopping haven of St. Maarten to the beatuiful beaches of Aruba and St. Lucia. You could also take in Limon, Costa Rica and the Rainforest Aerial Tram ride through the nature reserve adjacent to the national park or a trip to the cobbled streets and balconies of Cartagena, Columbia.

The Yakima City Council is cracking down on what an ordinance delicately refers to as "cleavage of the buttocks."
YAKIMA — The Yakima City Council is cracking down on what an ordinance delicately refers to as "cleavage of the buttocks."
Responding to a proliferation of coffee stands with baristas wearing see-through clothing, thongs and other scanty apparel, the council this week approved minor changes to the city's indecent exposure law.
The Yakima Herald-Republic reports that Mayor Dave Edler had wanted the changes under the city's adult business ordinance. But city legal staff warned that trying to place coffee stands under that law could lead to legal challenges.
The change approved by the council means that anyone in public wearing see-through apparel, a thong or a G-string — regardless of whether they are working at a coffee stand — could be prosecuted for a misdemeanor violation.

text: Liam48 April 19, 2015 3:34 PM MotoGP » MotoGP Argentina - Warm-up Results Very interesting warm up! I don't usually watch warm up but I did today, this is what I saw from it. Marquez started the session on the extra-hard rear tyre and was running Rossi's pace and made a mid-session switch to the hard tyre which he then set the fastest lap of the session and the it tailed off. Lorenzo was very quick out of the box but and stayed on the same tires all session but his pace dramatically dropped off. Rossi done the same as Lorenzo but he was wasn't as quick straight away but he was very consistent and set his fastest lap on the last lap which was nearly a second quicker than Lorenzo's last lap. I'm hoping for a Rossi win but I think Marquez will win but hopefully if he gets a good start I hope he can challenge Marquez. Reply Report abuse 23 agree 16 disagree

In his first major policy address since joining President Obama's Cabinet, Commerce Secretary John E. Bryson said his department will focus on reviving the nation's manufacturing base as a way to create more jobs, while taking a tougher line against China over trade and investment barriers.
"One challenge stands above the rest: putting Americans back to work," Mr. Bryson told a gathering Thursday morning at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. "It will be our focus every day at the Commerce Department."
The department is focused on supporting advanced manufacturing, increasing U.S. exports, and attracting more investment here from around the world, he said.
Manufacturing remains crucial to the success of the American economy, said Mr. Bryson, a California utility executive who took office in October. The Commerce Department in touting the line, "Build it here, sell it everywhere." The effort includes encouraging production of such items as composite materials, specialty chemicals and advanced health care technology.
"Many people have misconceptions about manufacturing," Mr. Bryson said. "They hear the word, and they think of the old assembly lines. But today, when we say 'manufacturing,' we're often talking about the cutting-edge industries of advanced manufacturing."
The secretary also signaled the administration will be taking a tougher line on China's market policies. Since joining the World Trade Organization a decade ago, U.S. officials say, China has made only mixed progress toward opening its markets to foreign companies.
"The United States has reached a point where we cannot quietly accept China ignoring many of the trade rules," Mr. Bryson said. "China still substantially subsidizes its own companies, discriminates against foreign companies and has poor intellectual-property protections."
Beijing has made some "promising commitments" in recent trade talks, but the Obama administration is looking for concrete results, Mr. Bryson said.
"Anything short of that will be unacceptable," he said.
Mr. Bryson used the Chamber address to announce the formation of the new office designed to bring together industry, universities and government to focus on advanced manufacturing industries such as information technology, biotech and nanotechnology. The agency's National Institute of Standards and Technology will also invest nearly $90 million in advanced manufacturing research next year, he said.
The U.S. is on track to meet Mr. Obama's goal of doubling exports by 2014, Mr. Bryson said, but more American firms need to be focusing on global opportunities.
"U.S. businesses are not exporting nearly as much as they could," he said, adding that only 1 percent of American businesses export their products and services.
"Many companies would like to export - they have great products to sell - but they just aren't sure how to get started," he explained.

NEW YORK — After getting the requisite questions out of the way — "Is Brooklyn in the house?" and "Where my ladies at?" — Jin, the diminutive 20-year-old Chinese rapper and the latest addition to the Ruff Ryders camp, asked a question to the crowd at B.B. King's, there to see MTV's You Hear It First Tour: "Where the f— are my Asians at?"
Those in the crowd screamed to make their presence known. "Yeah," Jin said, "shout out to all nine of ya'll."
Jin, dressed in a white Ruff Ryders warm-up jacket with his name embroidered in green on the front said, "Hip-hop is all about interaction. I talk to you, you talk to me." And he started his set with a call-and-response song called "Oh No!" from his forthcoming debut album, Almost Famous (October 7). Shortly after that, he brought out his "big brother," fellow Ruff Ryder Drag-On. The two of them performed a freestyle, which ended with the classic hip-hop the "song's over" sound: shattering glass.
"Who's drinkin' tonight?" Jin asked as a segue into the next song, the one where Jin and Drag-On promote Drag's new material by performing "Put Your Drinks Down," the first single from his upcoming album, To Hell and Back, due on September 16. "What we gon' do is party right now. So get out your seats and put your drinks down," the two chanted.
Next up came "Peel Off" from the "2 Fast 2 Furious" soundtrack, the movie in which Jin appeared as "a fake-ass mechanic." "Who saw the movie?" he asked. The crowd applauded faintly. "Who's gonna rent it at Blockbuster?" Another lukewarm reply. "Who's gonna watch it on UPN when it comes on [on a] Saturday?" The crowd erupted into applause.
After "Peel Off," Jin took a moment to introduce himself to the crowd. This was, after all, a You Hear It First moment. So Jin gave his 30-second autobiography: "I wanted to get a record deal. No one would give it to me. So I went on [BET's] '106th and Park' [where he won the freestyle competition on Freestyle Fridays for seven straight weeks]. And I got a deal through Ruff Ryders. It's the good old-fashioned American way."
Then he urged the audience to scream "f— you!"
Not because of the way he got a label deal, but because he was going into his next song about the "haters," "I Don't Know," which led him to his last song of the night.
"If you like Chinese food, make some f—in' noise!" he said, and the beat dropped on "Learn Chinese," the first single from Almost Famous, which features Wyclef Jean. On the song he assures us that we're "all gon' learn Chinese" and we'll even want to be Chinese.
When Jin finished his set, he said, "You know what? Ya'll gon' learn Chinese." Then, as he was leaving the stage, he joked, "but I barely speak that sh–."
Next up, as signaled by the banjo music, came a slimmed down Bubba Sparxxx, wearing, but not for long, a black button-down shirt and a white T-shirt underneath.
He opened with "We Ready" and went right into "Lovely" before talking to the crowd. After reminding everyone that he was from the backwoods of Georgia, he said he had a very special announcement to make: "My father is in town tonight. He came from a dirt road in Georgia. And he been drinkin' too!" He asked that the audience say a special chant to bring his father out: "Jimmy Mathis please come out he-ah!" "That's simple enough even for New York," Bubba cracked. When the crowd called for Johnny, an overweight, overalls-and-aviators-clad man wearing a straw hat and swilling a beer emerged from backstage and the new song "Johnny Mathis" from Bubba's upcoming album, Deliverance (September 16), began playing as Bubba's "father" roamed the stage. To prove his southern roots once again, Bubba ended his songs not with shattering glass, but with the crow of a rooster.
Then things started getting ugly. Bubba ripped off his shirts and threw them into the crowd as "Deliverance" began playing, on which he lovingly talks about his "fishing pole and bottle of 'shine" before handing the stage over to DJ Scientist, who is also a country boy and was wearing a Rolling Stones tongue-logo T-shirt. Bubba asked, "Hip-hop started in New York, right? I'm just a simple-minded country boy so I do be forgetting stuff sometimes." Then he offered a "buffalo nickel to anyone can find a better DJ."
DJ Scientist dropped the "Ruff Ryders Anthem" and cut it up into a drum-and-bass song, which got the crowd cheering and dancing immediately. The DJ did a little breakdance move and then put on the Notorious B.I.G.'s "Hypnotize," to which Bubba, still shirtless, started belly dancing. Then DJ ScienTIST turned "Hypnotize" into "Mary Had a Little Lamb" with fancy fader tricks. When he put "Good Times" on by Chic, he started mixing not only with his hands, but with his feet and knees as well, while he spun around, played backwards, licked his fingers and pushed his glasses back up at the same time.
When the DJ set was over, Bubba's hype man asked the audience if the in-shape Bubba looked pretty. Bubba answered before anyone else could. "I know I'm pretty, but I sure do see a lot of ugly sons of bitches in the crowd tonight." And then Bubba's first single "Ugly," from his debut album, Dark Days, Bright Nights, kicked in with its Timbaland-produced bounce beat. When the song was over and Sparxxx ripped his set, he kindly told the crowd,
"Bubba loves you."
Anthony Hamilton, the epitome of a neo-soul singer with his dreadlocked, trucker hat-clad band, and wearing his own camouflage version with the word "obey" on it, opened his show with theatrical singing by him and his three backup singers. Hamilton ran through his collaborations, which included Tupac Shakur's "Thugz Mansion" and the Nappy Roots' Grammy-nominated "Po' Folks" before moving on to his own new material. From his debut album, Coming From Where I'm From (August 26), he performed "Charlene," a song "about a relationship gone wrong." He finished the set by raising his right fist in the air and walking quietly off the stage.
Everyone was ready for the headliner, Common, by the time the hour after he was supposed to be off the stage finally rolled around.
Common got to the mic and welcomed the crowd. "We gonna party tonight like we in the basement of your mother's house … all you see around you is family. I'm going to be your host tonight. My name is Common."
Also wearing a camouflage hat and a khaki shirt, Common, who sported a bushy beard and a diamond earring, opened the hour-long set with "Soul Power" and then moved into "Time Travelin' (A Tribute to Fela)."
At the end of "Nag Champa (Afrodisiac for the World)," Common barely spat the lyrics while doing the Robot.
"Me and Mos [Def] were on the horn [one day]," Common explained of the next song, and applause broke out when Mos' name was mentioned — either because it was a crowd of his fans or because they knew what song was coming. "He said that when you rock that sh– in New York, you know you got to be live." Then, he said, he got call-waiting. "Ya'll know Talib Kweli?" The crowd cheered again. When he was on the phone with Kweli, also apparently getting performance advice from him, Common asked, "What do you want me to say?" His answer? The opening line to "Respiration."
At the end of the song, strobe lights came on and Common started doing the Pogo. "Scream!" he yelled as "Electric Wire Hustler Flower" began. The frenetic energy got the crowd nearly moshing and had Common thrashing about on the stage, banging the mic stand on the floor so much and so hard that it bent in half.
Then, calming down a bit and taking a page from his friends the Roots' concert playbook, Common, backed by a live band, started singing Nas' "The World Is Yours" as he began a selection of old-school rap songs. From that, he went into an initials medley: the Notorious B.I.G.'s "Big Poppa," and then the Wu-Tang Clan's "C.R.E.A.M." From there, he went into his own early-'90s song "I Used to Love H.E.R." He then played what could be called the follow-up to that song, his collaboration with the Roots, "Act Too … The Love of My Life." Common moved straight into Run-DMC's "Sucker MCs" and then the Pharcyde's "Passin' Me By" before Audio 2's "Top Billin.' " He concluded the trip down memory lane with his own recent hit, the collaboration with girlfriend Erykah Badu, "Love of My Life."
"We like to kick it, but we like to slow it down, too. Show a little love," Common said. "People love cars or chains or rims. But we're here to love ourselves, the Most High, and our mates as reflections of ourselves."
With that he chose a woman from the audience to come onstage to serenade for "Come Close." The woman, Kristin, knew every word to the song to sing back to Common and didn't even mind when Common, drenched in sweat, gave her a big bear hug.
Of course, it was after he escorted Kristin off the stage that Common mopped himself off and told the audience, "This is one love that I can't shake," as his shoulders twitched. "Hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop," he repeated as the lights came up and down. "The foundation of hip-hop is the DJ," he said as he introduced DJ Dummy.
DJ Dummy played Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock's "It Takes Two" as he spun with his back to the turntables, his eyes closed, and even with a woman all hugged up on him.
Common performed a freestyle rhyme with the chorus, "Girl, It's a freestyle," before going into "Funky for You," during which he jumped into the crowd and danced for fans.
He ended the show with an extended version of "The Light," so he could introduce the Electric Circus players and thank everybody for attending the basement party.
Funked-up circus music played for about 10 minutes, until Common, standing center-stage, flashed a black power fist and then a peace sign before the lights came up.

'The Last Days of Old Beijing: Life in the Backstreets of a Changing City'
By Michael Meyer
Chapter 1: Through the Front Gate
The Widow opens my door without knocking. A trail of Flying Horse–brand cigarette smoke enters behind her. An old cotton cap hides coarse, mortar-colored hair, brushed back from her brow to reveal a gold loop in each ear. She wears a fleece vest and forearm muffers that match the vermilion and crimson wood beams of our courtyard home. When I picture my neighbor the Widow, I see these colors—dull whites and grays, lustrous yellows, imperial reds—and smell ashes and age. She is the shade and scent of our hutong,* one of the lanes that lattice the heart of Beijing. The Widow has lived in this neighborhood for most of her eighty years. She can't imagine moving to the glassy high-rise landscape that encroaches from all sides. She often declares she will never leave. The Widow, like most hutong residents, will not have a choice.
"Little Plumblossom! Listen, you have to eat before class." I stand before her in a T-shirt and boxer shorts. The Widow scrapes the ends of a pair of chopsticks and places them in my hand. "Eat, Little Plumblossom!" She uses an endearment short for my Chinese name. I call her da niang, a term of respect for an elderly woman.
The Widow extends a steaming bowl of dumplings with two hands. Her eyes squint from the cigarette smoke curling up her sallow cheeks. She stuffed the dumplings with pork and chives, my favorite. "You know," she says, "it's too hard to cook for one person, so you have to eat these."
I always do what the Widow says. Although seven of us inhabit the five rooms of this courtyard, everyone knows that we are living in her home, even if she doesn't own it. The Widow has tenure. In 1962, the municipal housing bureau assigned her to the south-facing room opposite mine. In sixty-five square feet, she raised two children and a granddaughter. Their photos, and one of her as a radiant young woman with high cheekbones and a pressed gray dress, fill a single frame that hangs on her wall. The room has an exposed cement floor, a bureau made from walnut, two metal folding chairs at a card table, and a twin bed. She keeps the color television tuned to Channel 11, the Beijing opera station. Crashing gongs and plaintive wails fill our courtyard from sunrise until after dark.
The Widow lights another Flying Horse. The robin's-egg-blue package is decorated with a drawing of a horse leaping skyward, away from a horizon of petrochemical plants and smokestacks. It is the cheapest brand sold on our hutong, and tastes it.
"You should wake up earlier," she scolds. "I already went to Heavenly Peach market." It is seven o'clock in the morning. Our neighborhood's compact blend of housing and shops means the hutong is always open for business, and business is always nearby. In the morning, residents crowd the open-air bazaar, where farmers from outside Beijing sell fresh meat and produce. "I put the pot on the flame for the dumplings, then left," she says. "When I got back from Heavenly Peach with the ingredients, the water was already boiling."
The Widow watches me drink the salty broth. I thank her. She cocks her head and says, "What?" She is going deaf. By way of good-bye, she grunts, "Uh!" before stepping over our courtyard's wooden threshold and turning left. The four courtyards in this former mansion are each shared by multiple tenants. Our rooms are tucked in the back corner, farthest from the entrance gate. The Widow shuffes over the corridor's uneven earth and flagstones, running both hands along the gray brick walls for support. The women's latrine is opposite our front gate on the hutong, narrow enough that she can cross in a few unassisted strides.
The men's bathroom is farther away, and so with the Widow gone and my neighbors still asleep, I undo the padlock on the rotted door of a closetsize annex and pour a plastic bottle filled with the previous night's piss down the drain. I grab a towel off the outdoor line, snap it free of dust, and stick my head under the cold-water tap, shampooing quickly and rinsing with a coffee mug filled with frigid water. I scrub my face and under my arms, saving the rest of my skin for the Big Power Bathhouse, a few lanes away.
It is a typical morning in a typical Beijing hutong. The only thing exceptional is the weather, which is neither sweltering nor frigid, and the air unpolluted. "Tiger Autumn" arrives between summer and fall, bringing bracing mornings and warm afternoons. When I reach up to put the towel back on the line, the view shows a cloudless blue sky over serried rows of gray-tiled rooftops that crest between tufts of green leaves. A wind gust showers the courtyard in dust.
In its original state, a tea table and persimmon tree could have fit in the courtyard's open space. But over the decades, the cement slab has shrunk from an added bedroom, a kitchen sheltering a propane range, and clotheslines that web the air. When it rains, umbrellas have to be opened on the lane. In the courtyard, I must stoop to the Widow's height.
Inside my house, I tower over her. The north wall of my home is made of windows that stretch from waist high to the eaves, fifteen feet above. The door lock is a weak dead bolt, engaged only when I'm sleeping, because people wander in throughout the day. It is a very public life, lived in two rooms. Although the $100 monthly rent is a fraction of what a Beijing apartment with heat and plumbing costs, the Widow still thinks I'm wasting money. She lives in a single room, after all, as does the married couple in the adjoining room. They migrated from China's northeast to find work in the capital. We share a wall and a landlord, who divided his family's half of the courtyard into two spaces. Like the Widow, his mother was assigned to reside here. Unlike the Widow, he prefers living in a modern apartment and moved after his mother died, retaining the home's "usage rights," which are transferable and allow him to sell or rent his toehold in the neighborhood.
My living room holds a bookshelf, small couch, chair, tea table, and a desk. The floor's polished marble tiles are always cool and damp. The whitewashed straw-and-mud walls glow from sunlight or the uncovered bulb dangling from above. The other room's crimson-painted planks creak underfoot. It is furnished with a bureau, a platform bed that could sleep four adults, and a mineral-water heater. I spoon instant Nescafé coffee into a cup, switch off the computer, and turn on the water, avoiding a repeat of the morning when I blew the courtyard's fuses. That's why my unplugged refrigerator now stores underwear.
* Pronounced "who-TONG." Hutong is both the singular and plural romanization of the word. Chinese characters and the translations for place names appear in the appendix.

"Eyes ready for the stage! The perfect eyeshadow primer to intensify any eye look, help eye shadows last longer and prevent creasing."
Consistency and color are similar to that of a liquid concealer. It has a beige color with peachy/yellow undertones (no shimmer), so it works well to cancel out veins and redness around the eyes. It spreads easily and has medium coverage.
I've used this for about a year now and I'm pretty satisfied overall. It holds everything in place for the most part, and my only complaint would be that my eye makeup fades a little throughout the day. It isn't sweat-proof though, so I wouldn't recommend this for hot summer days.
The packaging is not my favorite design-wise, but it's sturdy.
Long-lasting: 4/5
Intensifying: 4.5/5
Prevents creasing: 4/5
It doesn't have the water-resistant formula a lot of high-end bases have, but for ~3€, it's a great base.

really love this product for a number of reasons. The biggest being I have really, really brown toned lids. So much to the point where I look Im wearing a wash of brown eyeshadow all the time. Not gonna lie, it can be a real time-saver, but I'm a sucker of nude eyeshadows and I was so sick of constantly building up nude colours on my lids: it was messy, expensive and it took too long. After some research I found this at target. First of all, this stuff is super high coverage and pigmented, I love it! I just dab some on my eyes and blend it up to my browbone and it hides all the brown discolouration and some veining. My eyeshadow goes so well over the top and I would say it lasts extremely well throughout the day, maybe 7-8 hours. It is quite an orange formula though but I honestly don't see it on my eyelids because they're so brown, so if you have lighter colour lids I wouldn't recommend this. For $5, you definitely cant go wrong with this. Def re-purchasing.

I was looking for an inexpensive eyelid primer to hold me over until the VIB sale, and I don't think I'll need to purchase a new one after using this! I love the doe foot packaging, and you need the tiniest amount for both eyes. The colour is off putting at first (darker and on the orange side) but it's easy to control with how much product you use. It cancels out any discolouration well and isn't noticeable once you apply your eyeshadow over top. I try to work fast with it because it's also thick but that also depends on how much you use. You don't need a lot. I'm really impressed with this product and I'm so happy I finally tried it.

I was really excited to try out this product because I had heard some positive reviews on it and it is a cheap primer. The color is really orange and for me it did not blend out so I was left with orange eyelids. It is a tackier consistency but my eyeshadow started creasing on me within around three hours of wearing it. For a cheap eye primer I definitely prefer the elf one.

This is my least favorite essence product :( I really wanted to love this, but I honestly think my concealer serves as a better primer than this. It's very cheap, but it's junk. I want to say this only held up my eyeshadow 2 hours, then creased so bad. Get it together Essence!

I own this and the popular Primer Potion by Urban Decay. Yes this has a colour, but blend it over your lid and it's not evident. I use it under my eyes before concealer as well.
This stuff is brilliant. I used water on my face to remove make up and my shadow didn't budge. It didn't crease or fade throughout the day either.
I thought for the amount I use that PP was good value for money, however it can't touch this which works just as well but for a fifth of the price. I will definitely buy this again and may well stock up just in case.

I was really excited about this primer but now I'm not sure. It's colored and I thought it would go away once dry but no, it leaves me with orange lids, so if you don't spread it carefully you'll have to apply shadow where you didn't intend to or deal with orange spots.
Does it make shadows pop? Extend wear? If so I haven't noticed too much. It looks like it does when I put it on my arm for swatches but not sure if it translates to my eyes. I will say that it does help with creasing though.
It's alright but I think I'll go back to the E.L.F. one (if I can find it in a store in Germany).

This hitch gets it done at a great price. I used to have a B&W hitch and while it had more adjustments and features, I'm not sure it was worth the $500 premium over this hitch. I hadn't heard of Curt hitches before I bought this one but a little research seemed to indicated it was a good hitch at a great price. It is. I hired out the installation so I can't speak about that. Hooking and unhooking is easy with the handle dropping from up to down when it's done. Easy to see. Good hitch!

MB was the main antagonist of Metroid: Other M. Samus Aran first saw MB watching her from a window overlooking the Experiment Floor in the Cryosphere, and she ran away to the Materials Storehouse after realizing she had been seen. Samus gave pursuit, and tried to convince the woman that she was here to rescue her, much to MB's denial. They were separated after Samus was attacked by a soldier using the RB176 Ferrocrusher. Later, Samus enters the Bioweapon Research Center in the Biosphere, and the woman is startled by Samus' presence. She runs behind a door and closes it. Samus once again tries to convince her that she means no harm. The woman opens the door, and introduces herself as Dr. Madeline Bergman. Samus takes her to sit down, and "Madeline" informs Samus of what has happened on the BOTTLE SHIP.

Dear Friends,
Thank you for your continued dedication to make #lifeworthliving for each child here in Guatemala. We firmly believe that every child matters, and that all should have access to the highest quality of care, no matter where they were born. That is why your donations are so important.
To show our gratitude, we would like to introduce you to our newest program to fight malnutrition:
"Guatemala has one of the highest rates of chronic malnutrition in the world. In the Maya communities in which we work chronic malnutrition rates for children under five can be as high as 75 percent. Chronic malnutrition, or stunting, results not only in a reduction in height, but also developmental delays. Our program seeks to better understand these developmental effects of stunting on children ages six to twenty-four months.
While nutritional interventions are just beginning, our dedicated team of anthropologists, community health workers, doctors, nurses, psychologists, and translators has been hard at work for months preparing to work with our new patients. This work is particularly important, as we will be the first in Guatemala to measure developmental outcomes in severely stunted Maya children. Over the course of the next year the team will evaluate the impact of nutritional education on the height and development of the participants."
With your help, we will continue to work to #endmalnutrition and improve life for not only our current patients, but all those who will come in the future. Thank you again for your continued support!
With gratitude,
Anne Kraemer Diaz
Executive Director
Every child matters.
In the past year alone, we have been able to grow our program and we have offered preventative nutrition services to over 500 children in 6 rural communities in Guatemala, as well as intensive in-home nutrition classes to more than 50 mothers. We have also pioneered the notion of recuperative chronic malnutrition in a new program with more than 100 children enrolled.
Without these services, malnourished children will be slower to walk, to talk, and to read. They will have difficulty focusing in school, resulting in a much lower life-long income earning potential. These children will never reach the full potential that so many of us take for granted in our own children.
Your continued support means that we can unlock that potential and provide healthy and happy futures for children and mothers. It means that we can improve their academic performance, economic opportunity, resiliency, and social relationships, so that they can lead the lives that they want. By providing education and supplementation to children between the ages of 0-2, we are making early investments in their futures.
Guatemala suffers from the highest rate of chronic malnutrition in the hemisphere, where babies do not have adequate nutrition to grow and thrive. Together, we can change that.
It is with your continued and considerate support that we are able to work so hard to eradicate malnutrition and provide a healthier and happier future, one baby at a time. Even though Guatemala continues to maintain one of the highest levels of malnutrition in the world, our team at Wuqu' Kawoq works tirelessly day after day to ensure that progress is being made in our Child Nutrition program.
As a thank you for all of your help, we invite you to take a closer look into a day with some of our Wuqu' Kawoq workers. Without your help, we wouldn't be able to do what we love doing - serving our communities and inspiring change.
"Upon arriving in Chutinamit, we were immediately greeted with loud music, little kids in costumes, and plenty of smiling faces. Unbeknownst to me at the time, the children were from a local school who were putting on a dance for Carnaval, which is celebrated with bright and colorful costumes and masks, and painted cascarones (eggshells) with confetti.
I asked a woman standing next to me more about what the tradition symbolized, and she simply stated, "It is a day for the kids to be happy." A beautiful sentiment, and certainly one that Wuqu' Kawoq is striving towards. Meanwhile, a couple of feet away from the Carnival festivities, Yoli and German were busy weighing and measuring children inside one of the houses. After taking the measurements, Yoli spoke with the mothers about healthy eating for their children, such as incorporating more fruits and vegetables in their diet. This part is especially critical, since education is a lacking component within the communities we work.
Our next stop was in Nuevo Progreso, where we visited two homes. Again, Yoli and German took the measurements of the children to track the progress of their growth. So far, the children we have seen have been doing fairly well. At the second home in Nuevo Progreso, German informs me that this particular child has not been growing as expected. Because of this, Yoli has begun giving education classes with the mother to explain what types of beneficial changes can be made in the child's diet and lifestyle. As stated before, education is a crucial part in informing the mothers about proper nutrition, while also giving the mothers a sense of autonomy in improving her child's health.
Our final destination was Chichimuch, where we met with a beautiful baby girl who has been doing very well with her growth. After taking her measurements, we were dismayed to find out that her growth worsened slightly. Yoli and German sat down with the mother to find out the cause, whether her child had been sick or had not been eating as much as usual. Though there was nothing unusual in the child's health or eating habits, Yoli gave suggestions on different ways to prepare fruits, for example mixing mangoes into a smoothie, so that the growing baby could eat more.
It was a long day, but a typical one for Wuqu' Kawoq workers. The fight towards improving child malnutrition is a slow and arduous one, and each improvement in a child's growth is significant. Each improvement means a step further in providing a healthier and happier future, a future where every day is a day for the kids to be happy."
We are working to #EndMalnutrition and #GrowGuatemala to transform the future of Guatemala. Thank you for your continued support of our work.
With gratitude, Anne Kraemer Diaz Executive Director
Healthy, Happy Babies! We have been working nonstop to transform the future, one baby at a time!
The reality that Guatemala has the highest level of childhood malnutrition in this hemisphere, 4th in the world is shocking and horrifying. At this moment, so many babies do not have adequate nutrition to grow and thrive, leaving the children stunted, or short short in stature for their age. This translates into children who appear to be 5 but are actually 7 or 8 years old.
You can see our exciting malnutrition program at work by empowered women in our communities!
It is not the short stature specifically that we are worried about, it is the fact that the loss of these inches directly correlates to lower IQ, it means slower development and missing milestones as an infant and toddler, milestones that I look for in my own daughters ages 4 and 1. Malnourished children will be slower to walk, slower to talk and to read. They will have difficulty focusing in school resulting in a much lower life long income earning potential. These children will never reach the potential that so many of us take for granted in our own children. But there is incredible Hope and Success!
With your help and support, we at Maya Health Alliance - Wuqu' Kawoq, have created a mobile primary health care system that saves lives through excellence and quality. Our nutrition program places baby and mom as critical actors to changing the future of Guatemala. Our Child Nutrition program provides universal nutritional and micronutrient supplementation to all children from 6 months of age onward and to all pregnant and lactating women. We also focus on educating child caregivers about breastfeeding, complementary foods, common childhood illnesses, hygiene and clean water through our community-based nutrition education classes. Additionally, the foundation for all of our nutrition programs is the provision of good primary care for children. Children with complex needs are immediately referred to our surgical or special needs programs.
We have helped over 2000 children this year and educated 500 mothers on Nutrition and Women's Health topics. I wanted to share these very exciting successes with you.

Dear Friends,
We often hear about Impact, but do we really know what it means?
Impact is important yet difficult to measure, and it can be even more difficult to really see. We are thrilled to bring you Gustavo, a baby boy who is growing and thriving because of donors like you!
In December, when Gustavo was almost 3 months old, he was malnourished and not growing at all. His mother was doing everything she could by nursing him, purchasing formula when she could and giving him all the love possible, but it wasn't enough.
Mom could not produce enough milk to help Gustavo grow and formula costs were so high for this poor family. When she came to us, Gustavo was at his birth weight, even though he was almost 3 months old. We knew action had to happen quickly in order to save him!
We began an intensive nutrition and education intervention. First, we learned about mom and her situation during a home visit. We learned that she had the most heart wrenching situation, she has lost a baby 2 years earlier in a similar situation as Gustavo. We quickly started Gustavo on the path to health with nutritional supplementation, education for the family, and close oversight from our team. Your partnership with us enabled our team to find this baby and provide him with education and initial life saving treatment.
We also partnered with our friends at Watsi who helped us to fund Gustavo's continued life saving care as he is not from one of our primary health care commnuities. Overall, we excited to link donors and organiations together to save lives! We are extremely thrilled with Gustavo's growth and beautiful smiles!
Thank you for saving a life today! I look forward to bringing you more success stories soon!

I number my rows as 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on. But I'd like to show the last added row first. If I click on the column I can easily reorder, very good. But it can be a challenge for the users.

NEW YORK — Stocks are falling after a regional manufacturing report fell short of forecasts and Japan became the latest country to show signs of slowing growth.
Both are adding to concerns Monday about the pace of a global economic recovery.
Japan says its economy grew just 0.1 percent in the second quarter. That's much slower than the 1.2 percent growth in the first quarter.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York says manufacturing activity in the state is rising in August, but not as fast as economists had predicted.
The Dow Jones industrial average is down 62.44, or 0.6 percent, at 10,248.51. The Standard & Poor's 500 index is down 5.79, or 0.5 percent, at 1,073.46, while the Nasdaq composite index is down 12.21, or 0.6 percent, at 2,161.27.

Tell Corporations to Stop Funding Climate Change Denial
Do you believe in climate change? If so, the Heartland Institute counts you among terrorists and serial killers. Recently, the Heartland Institute launched a billboard campaign comparing people who acknowledge climate change to terrorists like Osama bin Laden and Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber. Heartland was forced to take down the billboard in less than 24 hours due to public outrage, and many of Heartland's corporate funders like State Farm and the USAA have dropped their support in response.
Join Greenpeace and its partners in telling the rest of the Heartland Institute's corporate funders to stop supporting Heartland's attacks on the sound science of climate change.
"The people who still believe in man-made global warming are mostly on the radical fringe of society. This is why the most prominent advocates of global warming aren't scientists. They are murderers, tyrants, and madmen."
By funding the Heartland Institute, we believe your company is opposing appropriate policy discourse as well as basic respect for sound science. Your financial support for the Heartland Institute links your corporate brand to Heartland's fringe positions, which do not encourage productive policy discussions and has never reflected a honest scientific position on climate change. By providing funding to Heartland, your company is complicit in misinforming the public about global warming's catastrophic effects and attacking those who are asking for solutions.
Please commit to ceasing all current and future financial contributions to the Heartland Institute along with a public statement assuring your customers that their support for your business will not help bankroll dishonest distractions to the crucial issue of global climate change.

- Critic Score
- Most active
- Publication
- Most clicked
Jun 25, 2012A quality adventure game with a sinister and twisting story complete with layers of puzzles and a smattering of dark humor and obscure references.
Jul 24, 2012My only regret was that it didn't go on longer (but sequel maybe, please?)
Jul 8, 2012My only complaint is that it is a bit short, but that is easily overlooked when you consider its low price point ($4.99) and its innovative graphic style.
Jul 17, 2012Its gameplay is greatly adapted to the touch screen and improves the user experience on iOS. Also, retina display make the graphics shine. A great game at a very affordable price.
Jun 26, 2012Yesterday offers a mature experience in a genre full of softer, more family friendly affair. It's a little too physically dark at times and its obtuse puzzles may put some people off, despite the hints system counteracting some issues, but it's an interesting tale, nonetheless.
Jun 24, 2012An engrossing and rewarding experience. I was surprised by its plot, intrigued by its themes and writing, and stimulated by its many puzzles.
Aug 27, 2012What a pity that Yesterday has such a rough plot and shallow characters, because it's instead one of the most intriguing and mysterious adventures on the App Store.
Mar 11, 2013Pendulo is on the right track. The conspiracy thriller with its' complex story keeps you on your edge, while the puzzles are mostly conservative, but are nicely tailored to the narrative.
