!Mira que luna! Look at that moon! Resources for learning English
Fernando Olivera: El rapto.- TEXT FROM THE NOVEL The goldfinch by Donna Tartt (...) One night we were in San Antonio, and I was having a bit of a melt-down, wanting my own room, you know, my dog, my own bed, and Daddy lifted me up on the fairgrounds and told me to look at the moon. When "you feel homesick", he said, just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go". So after he died, and I had to go to Aunt Bess -I mean, even now, in the city, when I see a full moon, it's like he's telling me not to look back or feel sad about things, that home is wherever I am. She kissed me on the nose. Or where you are, puppy. The center of my earth is you". The goldfinch Donna Tartt 4441 English edition

Great Recipes for Healthy Skin
Healthy Tomato Sauce
Who wouldn't want beautiful and glowing skin? One important way of achieving this is by watching what you eat. Here are our favorite recipes that feature lycopene, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin C, minerals, and zinc -- they'll keep you looking good.

- 1/2 medium red onion, minced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 14 ounces (1 can) diced tomatoes in juice
- 3 tablespoons dry red wine
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, crumbled
- Coarse salt, to taste
Directions
- In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 7 minutes.
- Stir in tomatoes and juice, wine, oregano, and basil. Simmer 8 minutes or until lightly thickened. Season with salt to taste.

BY KARIM HOWARD
ANCHOR LAUREN ZIMA
There is new weight loss trend. Brides to be are turning to the KE diet in order to lose weight fast. For $1,500 doctors are promising weight loss of up to 20 pounds in 10 days.
“Dieters insert a feeding tube into their nose, which runs to the stomach. They’re fed a constant slow drip of protein and fat mixed with water, zero carbs...”
KE Dieters are given 800 calories a day and doctors say the mixture prompts their body to enter a state of ketosis, burning its own fat supply for energy. Dr. Oliver Di Pietro, who administers the KE diet in Florida, told ABC News what he considers to be the benefits of the diet:
