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.

Lemon/Limes
Although lemons and limes may not be what you would choose for an afternoon snack, we consider them as powerhouses when we want to bring out the flavor of other foods. While both are available throughout the year, lemons are in the peak of their season around May, June and August while limes are at their peak from May through October. Lemons are oval in shape and feature a yellow, texturized outer peel. Like other citrus fruits, their inner flesh is encased in eight to ten segments. Usually smaller than lemons, limes are oval or round in shape having a diameter of one to two inches with green flesh and skin. They can be either sour or sweet depending on the variety; however, sweet limes are not readily available in the United States. Sour limes contain citric acid giving them an acidic and tart taste, while sweet limes while lack citric acid and are sweeter in flavor.

Golf Tips from Camilo Villegas
Last September, Camilo Villegas was driving his black, 500-horsepower Porsche Cayenne Turbo to his Atlanta hotel after a PGA tournament when he saw flashing lights behind him. He pulled onto the shoulder of the road and waited as a policeman sauntered up to his window. You been drinking? the cop asked. Officer, I just got off the golf course. I was playing in a tournament, replied Villegas. So youve had a few drinks. Officer, like I said, I just got off the course. Thats exactly what I mean, countered the cop. You golf, you drink. Thats what its all about. After Villegas explained he was a professional golfer, the officer relented and let him off the hook for creeping above the speed limit. I thought that was pretty funny, says Villegas. Lots of people still don think of golf as a sport. Villegas pronounced bee-JAY-gus is a 26-year-old from Colombia who turned pro in 2004 and finished last year with nearly $4 million in career earnings. Although he has yet to ...

Top 10: Tuner Models
You might be wondering what tuner models actually do. In short, they’re the hotties who grace the pages of auto magazines like Super Street and Import Tuner. They also appear in hot rod and dirt bike calendars, work as spokeswomen for auto part companies and can generally be seen prancing around in tiny outfits at big racing events. Unless you harbor a love of cars and their various parts, you may not have heard of some of these tuner models. Of course, some of them often cross over into other forms of modeling so there is a chance you may know them well from other areas.

Papaya
Deliciously sweet with musky undertones and a soft, butter-like consistency, it is no wonder the papaya was reputably called the fruit of the angels by Christopher Columbus. Once considered quite exotic, they can now be found in markets throughout the year. Although there is a slight seasonal peak in early summer and fall, papaya trees produce fruit year round. Papayas are spherical or pear-shaped fruits that can be as long as 20 inches. The ones commonly found in the market usually average about 7 inches and weigh about one pound. Their flesh is a rich orange color with either yellow or pink hues. Inside the inner cavity of the fruit are black, round seeds encased in a gelatinous-like substance. Papayas seeds are edible, although their peppery flavor is somewhat bitter. The fruit, as well as the other parts of the papaya tree, contain papain, an enzyme that helps digest proteins. This enzyme is especially concentrated in the fruit when it is unripe. Papain is extracted to make ...

Indiana Jones 4
Who? Harrison Ford old, Shia LaBeouf greasy, Karen Allen mumsy, Cate Blanchett bobbed, Ray Winstone Ray Winstoney Background: Close to twenty years, it took. Nearly two full decades, apparently, to perfect a script. To gather its peerless troupe of main players, to synchronise impossibly busy schedules and to hone a suitably astonishing final chapter to one of the greatest film franchises ever. Then 79 filming days to commit a genuine world cinematic event to celluloid: the fourth Indiana Jones movie. And what do we get? We’ll tell you. CGI gophers with surprised expressions, that’s what. Infantile, clunking dialogue. Green-screen sub-XBox action sequences. Elderly people kissing. The only human being ever to survive a nuclear detonation at point-blank range. Later, CGI monkeys with expressions. And your worst nightmares confirmed – aliens and flying saucers. Yes, it’s worse than you could possibly comprehend. A more stultifying disappointment, arguably, than The Phantom Menace. ...

Brown rice
In some parts of the world, the word to eat literally means to eat rice. All varieties of rice are available throughout the year, supplying as much as half of the daily calories for half of the worlds population. The process that produces brown rice removes only the outermost layer, the hull, of the rice kernel and is the least damaging to its nutritional value. The complete milling and polishing that converts brown rice into white rice destroys 67% of the vitamin B3, 80% of the vitamin B1, 90% of the vitamin B6, half of the manganese, half of the phosphorus, 60% of the iron, and all of the dietary fiber and essential fatty acids. Fully milled and polished white rice is required to be enriched with vitamins B1, B3 and iron.

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 ...

Diving - Malta
The Maltese Islands’ clear blue Mediterranean sea is ideal for scuba diving and is highly accessible by relatively every area of the Islands. All three Islands offer excellently unique diving experiences with reefs, caves and wrecks to make the dive one of the most interesting ones in the Mediterranean. The calmness of the sea makes for excellent visibility and the wildlife danger risk is extremely low, creating an ultimate location for first time divers and beginners. For the more experienced divers, there are various sites that include archaeological artefacts, some from WWII, some even dating back to the Roman era. The depths of the dives vary, from the very shallow 12-metre Ghar Lapsi dive to Lantern Point, which takes divers to an underwater tunnel that leads down well over 50 metres. There are several types of scuba diving courses & scuba diving activities offered by locally licensed diving schools. Divers need to complete a medical statement form prior to any diving ...

The Incredible Hulk
Who: Edward Norton calm, angry, repeat, Liv Tyler loving, Tim Roth psychotic, William Hurt in charge, Robert Downey Jr. cool Background: Aside from its fine comic heritage, 2008’s The Incredible Hulk has no ties to Ang Lee’s 2003 effort Hulk. Which is A Good Thing. Instead, director Louis Leterrier has cleverly sidestepped Lee’s brooding shots of, er, moss to produce a unexpected verdant treat. A smart opening title sequence establishes Edward Norton as the new Bruce Banner in much the same way that Christopher Nolan did with Christian Bale in Batman Begins. And that is a fair comparison, because The Incredible Hulk is great. Not Batman great, but it’s certainly saved the Hulk from ending up in the superhero retirement home alongside Elektra, Ghost Rider and Spider-Man circa three. The story: After ‘Hulking up’ by testing his gamma raygun thing, and nearly killing his girlfriend Betty Tyler, Dr Banner Norton goes on the run from Betty’s dad, Gen. Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross Hurt.

Garlic
Although garlic may not always bring good luck, protect against evil or ward off vampires, it is guaranteed to transform any meal into a bold, aromatic and healthy culinary experience. Fresh, dried and powdered garlic are available in markets throughout the year, however, fresh varieties from California are in season from June through December. Garlic is arranged in a head, called the bulb, averaging about 2 inches in height and diameter consisting of numerous small separate cloves. Both the cloves and the entire bulb are encased in paper-like sheathes that can be white, off-white or pinkish. Although garlic cloves have a firm texture, they can be easily cut or crushed. The taste of garlic is like no other-it hits the palate with a hot pungency that is shadowed by a very subtle background sweetness. While elephant garlic has larger cloves, it is more closely related to the leek and therefore does not offer the full health benefits of regular garlic. Food Chart This chart ...

HOUSTON -- Cedric Bensons rocky tenure with the Chicago Bears got murkier Saturday after the running backs arrest on drunken-driving charges in Austin, his second arrest in just more than a month. Cedric Benson, RB Chicago Bears Height: 5-11 Weight: 220 College: Texas Experience: 3 Games/Started: 35/12 Bears officials said they would treat the matter seriously.

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 ...

Apples
The warm scent and flavor of baking apples is a sure sign that fall is just around the corner. In the Northern Hemisphere apples are in season from late summer to early winter. However, many varieties are available year round because they have been either kept in cold storage or imported from the Southern Hemisphere. Apples are crisp, white-fleshed fruits with red, yellow or green skin. They range in taste from moderately sweet and refreshing to pleasantly tart depending on the variety.

Fine Living: Premium Chocolates
The world of chocolate has its highs and lows, to be sure. And the solid milk-chocolate bunnies we all enjoyed as kids are fine for 7-year-olds, but your palate has evolved beyond swapping quality for quantity.

DARK CIRCLES UNDER EYES
What May Be Causing It? Allergies trigger nasal congestion and, in turn, nasal congestion causes blood flow to back up in the area under the eyes. The skin under the eye is very thin, so backed-up blood flow in the venous system under the eye is visible as a dark shadow or circle. Sometimes this symptom is associated with chronic sinusitis or chronic nasal blockage as well as allergies. How Can I Get Some Relief? If its just an intermittent or occasional problem, try over-the-counter nasal medicines that decrease nasal congestion. Do I Need to See a Doctor? Yes. Usually this becomes more of a chronic problem and the medicines that work best to treat it are prescription drugs, so youll need to see a doctor for medication.

The Clear-Skin Makeover
Like high school pop quizzes and awkward prom dates, pimples are supposed to be distant bad memories. If only. But these days, even moms of teens are battling blemishes — and wrinkles, too. In fact, between 15 and 35 percent of women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s suffer from breakouts, according to a report published last year in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. And those numbers are on the rise, says dermatologist Richard Fried, M.D., Ph.D., author of Healing Adult Acne. Doctors attribute this increase to everything from skyrocketing stress levels and hormone fluctuations to today’s carbohydrate-heavy diets. If you’re tempted to treat your acne with a few old tricks from your teen years, don’t. Adult skin is more sensitive and less resilient than adolescent complexions, and it calls for treatments that also fight the signs of aging. Luckily, many of the best zit zappers out there happen to be top anti-agers, too. So whether your breakouts are an occasional annoyance ...

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. How Can I Get Some Relief? Use over-the-counter allergy eye drops. Do I Need to See a Doctor? Maybe. If OTC remedies work, you can skip the doc. If the problem is chronic, see a doctor for two reasons: to get prescription medicine that will work better than OTC; and because some conditions that are not allergy-related can cause chronic watery eyes. You should be checked by an ophthalmologist an eye specialist doctor. ...

Cranberries
A cousin of the blueberry, this very tart, bright red berry can still be found growing wild as a shrub, but when cultivated, is grown on low trailing vines in great sandy bogs. The American cranberry, the variety most cultivated in the northern United States and southern Canada, produces a larger berry than the wild cranberry or the European variety. Cranberries have long been valued for their ability to help prevent and treat urinary tract infections. Now, recent studies suggest that this native American berry may also promote gastrointestinal and oral health, prevent the formation of kidney stones, lower LDL and raise HDL good cholesterol, aid in recovery from stroke, and even help prevent cancer. Fresh cranberries, which contain the highest levels of beneficial nutrients, are at their peak from October through December, just in time to add their festive hue, tart tangy flavor and numerous health protective effects to your holiday meals.
