Strawberries
The fragrantly sweet juiciness and deep red color of strawberries can brighten up both the taste and aesthetics of any meal; it is no wonder they are the most popular berry fruit in the world. Although strawberries have become increasingly available year-round, they are at the peak of their season from April through July when they are the most delicious and most abundant.
While there are more than 600 varieties of strawberries that differ in flavor, size and texture, one can usually identify a strawberry by its red flesh that has yellow seeds piercing its surface, and the small, regal, green leafy cap and stem that adorn its crown. In addition to strawberries that are cultivated, there are also varieties that grow wild. These are much smaller in size, but feature a more intense flavor.

Cabbage
Sturdy, abundant and inexpensive, cabbage is a longstanding dietary staple throughout the world and is so widely cultivated and stores so well that it is available throughout the year. However, it is at its best during the late fall and winter months when it is in season.
Cabbage is round in shape with layers of superimposed leaves with the inner leaves often lighter in color than the outer leaves because they are protected from the sunlight. They belong to the Cruciferae family of vegetables along with kale, broccoli, collards and Brussels sprouts.

CRUSTY OR CRUDDY EYES
What May Be Causing It?
Gunky, crusty eyes may be caused by an allergy or an eye infection. Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference, even for doctors. They tend to see more of those during allergy season, because people scratch their itchy eyes and can get an infection in the eye.

Do I Need to See a Doctor?
Yes. See your doctor right away. It may be much more serious than an allergy and is more of a medical emergency that needs to be treated promptly. Don’t delay treatment. Waiting could leave you with a serious infection in the eye that’s a lot harder to treat. ...

ITCHY NOSE; SNEEZING
What May Be Causing It?
Pollens, usually in spring or fall, trigger an allergic reaction that makes your nose itchy or makes you sneeze.

Over-the-counter antihistamines usually work pretty well for sneezing.
Do I Need to See a Doctor?

Player Etiquette
There are some lessons men can learn that will instantly improve their chances; here are a few techniques on Player etiquette that will show her you’re a class act.
Bad habits
Chewing your nails, picking your teeth, picking your nose, smoking -- it happens all the time, and I’ve seen more guys do it involuntarily than a Player should. Displaying your bad habits when you’re picking up a woman is going to instantly kill your game; your little nuances are as glaring as the skin flakes on your shirt. Really, is that appropriate? I think not.
A Player has to be prudent about the little things he does. While on the surface it may seem harmless and subtle, to her it’s an obtrusive turnoff that’s going to net you a handshake good-bye rather than the desired fervent lip-lock. Be mindful of what your intuition wants you to do, and think about the consequences if you fall back into your bad habits. Then, think about what kind of benefits you’ll get from her if you suppress your otherwise ...
BLOODY NOSE

POST-NASAL DRIP; SORE OR RAW THROAT
What May Be Causing It?
You can drain almost a liter a day of mucus due to nasal allergies. Post-nasal drip is a runny nose turned inward—instead of mucus flowing out of the front of your nose, it trickles down the back of your throat, where it may trigger coughing, throat-clearing, sore throat, or raw, irritated throat.
How Can I Get Some Relief?
Try an over-the-counter antihistamine-decongestant combination product.
Do I Need to See a Doctor?
Yes, if over-the-counter medicines do not clear up your symptoms, a doctor should perform some tests to rule out other conditions that could cause post-nasal drip, such as chronic sinusitis, GERD gastroesophageal reflux disease, or laryngeal-pharyngeal reflux, which is related to GERD and causes irritation in the same area. ...
BLOCKED OR STOPPED-UP NOSE
What May Be Causing It?
The same allergies that trigger sneezing, itchy nose, and runny nose in the early phase of an allergy attack cause congestion in the later phase when tissues become swollen and congested.

Try over-the-counter decongestants or antihistamine-
decongestant combination products like Claritin-D or Zyrtec-D the D stands for decongestant.
Do I Need to See a Doctor?
No. Usually one of the over-the-counter remedies will do the trick. Exception: You should see a doctor to rule out other than allergy conditions such as nasal polyps or septal deviation if you have chronic nasal congestion that does not respond to over-the-counter treatment. ...
IRRITABILITY, ANGER, CRANKINESS

The histamine and chemical mediators that are released in the allergy system have effects on the rest of the body, brain, and central nervous system.

Surveys show well over half of allergy patients say their allergies leave them miserable, irritable, and tired.

e feeling really miserable; nip it in the bud, when the symptoms are smaller and more manageable.

College Sex Pointers for Better Sex

College Sex Rule 1: Claim a new campus
Consider the cafés, library nooks, and grassy quads where the average American college student spends most of the day. These public spaces foster a sexual vibe by design.

WATERY OR ITCHY EYES
What May Be Causing It?
Watery eyes or itchy eyes are typically caused by the same underlying allergy problem as red or bloodshot eyes. Your bodys histamine reaction to the allergen pollen or other trigger causes itching and watering. Intermittent symptoms point to seasonal allergens such as tree or grass pollens; ongoing symptoms suggest the trigger is something you
e exposed to throughout the year, such as dust mites, dander, or mold.

Use over-the-counter allergy eye drops.
Do I Need to See a Doctor?
Maybe. If OTC remedies work, you can skip the doc.

You should be checked by an ophthalmologist an eye specialist doctor. ...

Exotic Rides: Lexus IS F
In the not-so-distant past, there was a time when the Toyota Motor Corporation’s amenity-laden American affiliate, Lexus, was heavily scrutinized -- not for the grade of the vehicles produced, as most car manufacturers are, but for the catalog itself. This barrage of criticism was spurred by the complete absence of a single performance model rolling off of Lexus assembly lines.
Enter the Lexus Intelligent Sport series -- code name: IS. Although the first two generations of 200/300 and 250/350 were well received and a formidable foray into the arena of high-output luxury sedans, rivals like Infiniti, Mercedes, Acura, and specifically BMW were beefing up their offerings to previously unheard of proportions, putting the heat on Lexus to remain competitive. And Lexus took on the challenge with gusto -- thank the vehicular lords.
If the IS 430 prototype was to serve as any indication of Lexus performance capabilities, not even that could prepare us for the unveiling of the supremely ...
