EE

Paseando por la Calle Bravo Murillo, una de las calles más populares y multiculturales de Madrid norte me encontré con el mercado de las Maravillas, un mercado de abastos castizo, de los de toda la vida que poco a poco ha ido impregnándose de ese Madrid cosmopolita, con tiendas de comida de zonas muy lejanas y dispares, con miles de colores y olores que proporcionaban todo tipo de frutas expuestas y colocadas con mimo y ahinco. andando por los pasillos me encontré con una tienda de productos rusos, mi primera reacción al ver el mostrador fue la misma que pondría un niño en un escaparate lleno de juguetes y absorto contemplando lo que mis ojos estaban viendo, miles de recuerdos me vinieron a la cabeza, tan lejanos, esos productos con los que conviví durante 7 meses de mi vida, allí me atendió amablemente una ucraniana que esbozaba una leve y tímida sonrisa cuando veía mis ojos iluminados y abiertos viendo tal cantidad de productos , compre pelmini con smetana, es decir una especie de pasta rellena de carne especiada con nata agria. La chica amablemente me envolvió los productos con trozos de una revista en lenguaje cirílico, me vinieron tantas memorias, tantos recuerdos, tantos sabores, era como desplazarse dos años atrás, cuando salía todas las mañanas de casa. Ufff que frio!!, el pomo de la puerta está congelado y nunca me acuerdo, viaje de 45 minutos por esos tranvías de sabor añejo soviético, parada en el mercado ruso para comprar dos platanos, que bonitas están todas las flores que venden en la calle. Vaya!! se me ha metido nieve dentro de la bota en el agujero que tengo, bueno, luego cuando llege al centro me la quitaré porque tengo que estar descalzo, primeros ladridos del perro que oye mi presencia, primeros gritos de los niños, hay que estudiar les digo, me miran con cara de resignación, yo también estudio ruso, les tiro bolas de papel mientras estudiamos -no sé quien es más niño si ellos o yo a veces- las 12 hora de la comida, hay sopa de remolacha con nata agria de nuevo, como pesa la olla, me saluda con cara de pocos amigos la cocinera ucraniana que siempre me está hablando en ruso y no la entiendo, hora de ver los dibujos, las supernenas en estonio, nos reimos juntos, hora de hacer peleas. No!! ya no puedo montar a nadie más al caballito, vamos a pintar, no mejor un ajedrez, no un monopoly, discuten, nos peleamos de nuevo en el sillón. queremos jugar fuera, no por favor, menudo frío hace, parece que llega el buen tiempo ya me comenta un trabajador(eso me llevan diciendo 4 meses y la nieve no desaparece).
Clases de estonio, has hecho los deberes alberto? ufff no he tenido tiempo, lazy Spanish!!! sonríe la profesora mirándome con cara de complicidad!!! empezamos con el ruso, apunto las palabras nuevas según me suenan porque no sé escribir cirílico, mi profesora de ruso se enfada y me dice que así nunca aprenderé el idioma, me encojo de hombros y hago como si miro el alfabeto el cual me pregunta todos los días a la entrada de clase.
Uy!! si hoy es miércoles, a enseñar inglés en el centro social de un barrio soviético con los niños pequeños, de nuevo tranvía, sale vaho, me vuelvo a poner la bufanda, llego, me tengo que descalzar, uy!! vaya tomate tengo, los nenus se rien porque siempre llevo calcetines de distintos colores, hacemos ejercicios, cantamos en inglés, jugamos, no paran de preguntarme como se dice cualquier palabra en castellano, les contesto, siempre se rien, da igual lo que diga. Me tengo que ir, me paran, ah lo olvidé!!!, tengo que contarles un cuento en castellano, ¿pero si ya no me sé más? Pues caperucita roja!!! me mira Svetana con morritos, Da Da Da (sí, sí, sí gritan al unísono todos juntos en ruso) que remedio, otra vez.
Vuelta a casa, Dios!! no puedo abrir la puerta porque tengo las manos congeladas, espero unos segundos. Cena, el frigo vacio, vaya, acaba de cerrar el supermercado, queda algo de arroz, charlas con los compañeros, como fue el día?? muy cansado. Una cerveza en casa o vamos al centropara relajarnos? hace -15º bajo cero porque no en casa? al final salimos, me resbalo como todos los días, nos juntamos todos los voluntarios y amigos comunes, abrazos para saludar a todos, hablamos, reimos, soñamos, cuantas ilusiones, cuantos retos por delante, cuantos miedos al futuro, cuantas ganas de cambiar el mundo, nos lo comíamos a pedazos.
Días en los cuales el tiempo no se medía en días, horas, minutos, segundos...sino que se medían en cantidad de sonrisas, abrazos, lágrimas y sueños, sobre todos sueños, en aquella etapa en la que nos sentiamos tan vivos....
Algo más??? me pregunta la tendera. No, gracias!, la contesto en ruso, se vuelve a reir, seguramente lo dije horrible, me pongo rojo

The French gourmet cheese Bleu d'Auvergne has a wonderful aroma, a rich taste; the saltiness increases with the incidence of veining. The overall flavor is piquant but not overly sharp. Bleu d'Auvergne started life as an imitation of Roquefort, using cow's milk in place of sheep's milk. Legend has it that a peasant, around 1845, decided to inject his cheese with a blue mold that he found growing on his left-over bread (the motto being, waste not, want not). And thus, the gourmet cheese Bleu d'Auvergne was born. This French gourmet blue cheese comes from the region of Auvergne and the cheese is made from milk of Salers and Aubrac cows. The rind is very thin and so the cheese is usually wrapped in foil. The cheese is rich and creamy with a pale yellow color and scattered holes and well-defined greenish-blue veining. We cut and wrap this cheese in wedge of 8 ounces and 1 pound.

In 1959 phentermine first received approval from the FDA as an appetite suppressing drug. Phentermine hydrochloride then became available in the early 1970s. It was previously sold as Fastin from King Pharmaceuticals for SmithKline Beecham, however in 1998 it was removed from the market. Medeva Pharmaceuticals sells the name brand of phentermine called Ionamin and Gate Pharmaceuticals sells it as Adipex-P. Phentermine is also currently sold as a generic. Since the drug was approved in 1959 there have been almost no clinical studies performed. The most recent study was in 1990 which combined phentermine with fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine and became known as Fen-Phen.[citation needed]
In 1997 after 24 cases of heart valve disease in Fen-Phen users, fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine were voluntarily taken off the market at the request of the FDA. Studies later proved that nearly 30% of people taking fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine had abnormal valve findings. The FDA did not ask manufacturers to remove phentermine from the market.
[url=http://www.buyphentermine1.com]buy phentermine[/url] Phentermine is still available by itself in most countries, including the U.S. However, because it is similar to amphetamines, it is classified as a controlled substance in many countries (including Australia). Internationally, phentermine is a schedule IV drug under the Convention on Psychotropic Substances.[1] In the United States, it is classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act.
Looking forward, Phentermine is being studied with another medication for obesity. The experimental appetite suppressant drug Qnexa is a mixture of Phentermine and Topiramate.
Phentermine, in doses clinically used, works on the hypothalamus portion of the brain to release norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter or chemical messenger that signals a fight-or-flight response, reducing hunger. Phentermine works outside the brain as well to release epinephrine or adrenaline causing fat cells to break down stored fat, but the principal basis of efficacy is hunger-reduction. At high doses, phentermine releases serotonin and dopamine as well, but such doses are never used in clinical medicine.

Playing bingo needs more than luck or skills and techniques, contrary to what most believe. Bingo, just like any game of chance, comes with rules and regulations that players should observe. Being a player comes with responsibilities and etiquette.

Winning the Game

The moment you figured out you won, you must immediately yell BINGO, and it should be loud enough for the floor walker to hear. The pot money shall be given to the winner once their winning card is confirmed. Well, in winning or once you know you just won, the most important thing is that you shout the winning word BEFORE the time elapses. If the game proceeds and the next number is mentioned and you failed to shout "Bingo", your winning card is disqualified. Therefore, this is the rule you must know.

There may be cases when there are two winners, and in this case the pot money shall be divided equally among the winners. Supposing there are two winning cards, the two winners will share half the prize money.

Bingo Game Rules

Bingo rules are basically the same no matter in which Online Bingo hall you play. But still it's good if you know these rules by heart. If it is your first try, then ask for handouts and inquire from pros regarding the game rules. Nonetheless, the ideal thing to do if you have questions is to ask the floor walker and not the person seated beside you. You should clarify things and doubts before the game starts because asking too many questions as the game proceeds could well distract you. This guideline also applies to those who are newcomers at casinos, those who play roulette for the first time.

Bingo halls demand an age limit of 18 years old. If you are below this age, you are prohibited to play. Some bingo houses ban alcohol inside, so players aren't supposed to take liquor nor drink it inside the venue. Smoking may also be restricted inside the venue, as there are designated smoking sections.

Take note that some Bingo houses don't allow food but some do, so it basically depends on the venue. Policies vary among different venues. For instance, some bingo halls allow reservation of cards, while others don't allow it. Some allow people to leave the venue in the middle of the game, others forbid it. But there are general policies observed in all bingo houses, such as disqualification of tampered bingo cards. There is no way you can get away with a tampered card because the walkers are adept at identifying authentic cards from tampered ones. You could be banned from a bingo establishment if proven liable of tampering a card. Hence, you should play honestly.

Interestingly, some venues offer special bingo games for kids although some halls don't allow players to have companions while playing. Suppose you bring kids with you, don't let them run around the venue and bother other gamers. They should behave well whilst you play and the game proceeds. Play quietly and don't recite the numbers you desperately want to come off because you'll be much of a disturbance if you do. Decorous playing is expectant of all players, even those who play roulette at casinos. Also, having a valid identification is important because you don't know you might win and need to present credentials.
