Dead 'stowaway' found
Article By: Regan Thaw
Fri, 24 Aug 2012 7:21 AMThe body of a suspected stowaway has been found on an aeroplane which had flown from Cape Town to London.
The Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) says the corpse of an unidentified man was discovered on a British Airways plane on Thursday morning, after it touched down at Heathrow Airport.
ACSA's Deidre Hendricks says on Wednesday night a person was spotted scaling a fence at Cape Town International Airport.
She says security guards gave chase but lost the man.
"This morning reports from Heathrow Airport confirmed that a stowaway was found onboard a British Airways aircraft. The person was found dead."

There's a lot to know in this sport we call boating. Too much, in fact. Which is good, as it keeps us interested and constantly learning. And it's also bad, as there's always something you should have known and only figured out later-usually, when it was too late. So class, here's this semester's lessons. Read on. Then take notes, and highlight the good parts. You never know when life will throw you a pop quiz.
Here's the Pitch
An engine should run within its recommended rpm operating range at wide open throttle. If it revs below the range, less prop pitch is called for. If it's above the range, more pitch is required. Props are described by diameter first, then pitch. Thus a 14½" x 19" prop has a diameter of 14½" and a pitch of 19".
Pecking Order
Whichever type of vessel is higher on this list has the right of way over those below it.
• Vessel not under command
• Vessels restricted in maneuverability
• Vessels engaged in fishing
• Sailboats
• Powerboats
Speed Freak
Hull speed for a displacement boat can be computed using the following formula:
V = the square root of LWL x 1.34
V = velocity in knots
LWL = waterline length
Left, Right, Left, Right
A single-engine boat with a right-handed prop backs to port.
With a left-handed propeller, the boat backs to starboard.
Do Not Pass Go
When two boats under power are about to meet head-on, neither has the right-of-way. Both vessels must make a noticeable course alteration to starboard after giving the proper signal of one short blast. When two vessels under power are crossing, the boat that has the other to starboard is the give-way vessel and must avoid the other by passing astern. The privileged vessel should maintain course and speed.
Half Time
When visibility is restricted, hold to a speed that allows you to stop in no more than half of the distance of your visibility.

Rhoads, Strausbaugh to Train at Olympic Center
by Brent Harris • May 23, 2011
Wabash senior All-American wrestler Greg Rhoads
and junior national qualifier Jake Strausbaugh will spend a week at the US Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Both will participate in the Greco-Roman National Training Camp May 23-30.
"Greg and Jake received a letter from National and Olympic Coach Steve Fraser inviting them both to apply for the USOTC program," Wabash Head Coach Brian Anderson said. "After calling Coach Fraser to get some additional information, both applied for and were accepted to the Greco-Roman training program.
"I'm excited for both Greg and Jake because they will have an opportunity to train with the best wrestlers in the country. This is an opportunity we couldn't pass up. I know they will both benefit greatly by training there for a week. They will get a first-hand look at how the best wrestlers in the world train. This is a nice pat on the back for both of them in regards to what they have already accomplished in their careers and to the amount of talent our Wabash wrestling team has overall. These are the type of opportunities that make the Wabash wrestling experience even greater."
Rhoads and Strausbaugh
will train along side athletes who will be preparing for the 2011 World Team Wrestling Trials, which will take place a few weeks after the Greco-Roman training camp ends.
Rhoads finished eighth at the 2011 NCAA Division III Wrestling Championships to earn All-America honors for the first time in his career. He finished the season 40-17 overall. Strausbaugh qualified for the 2010 NCAA championship meet as a freshman, and was an alternate at 149 pounds this season after losing to a national qualifier in the semifinals of the Midwest Wrestling Regional. He finished the season with a record of 45-9.

My daughter got the Orbeez Ladybug and 2 pets for her birthday. Did not know you have to put the Orbeez in water and wait 4 to 24 hours before they grow. my daughter wanted to play with the toy right away and she had to wait until the next day to play with it and the Orbeez pets kept busting the Orbeez and they make a big mess.

My daughter got one of the little ones for her birthday. It works correctly sometimes, but it also chops up the orbeez sometimes. After her & her sister played with it on my kitchen floor I had a MESS. Pieces of orbeez everywhere. Very disappointed.

5 Awesome Cyber Monday Sales
Cyber Monday, coined by the e-commerce community in 2005, capitalizes on those who want to get a jump on their holiday gift lists, those who love a great sale, and those who simply love an extra excuse to procrastinate at the office on Monday morning. No matter what category you fall into, it's clear that this web-based holiday is one of the biggest online shopping days of the year.
As a certified online shopping fiend, naturally I scoured the internet for sales that might strike my fancy. One beauty editor perk is that I didn't have to look very hard to find the deals (they sat in my inbox, courtesy of all the lovely PR reps out there). One problem I do have with the post-Turkey Day deals, though, is that most of them don't discount the goods you're looking for. In the spirit of giving, I've compiled my favorite five Cyber Monday sales that actually save you some moolah. Now get to it beauties!

"Lonely Feelin'" manages to perfectly convey that lonely feeling you get on a rainy afternoon witout becoming syrupy or sentimental. The title track is a relaxing tune that well fits the feeling of a young couple finally escaping the madness and enjoying one of the happier times in their lives. "The Raven and the Coyote" and "Lynnville Train" deal with complicated emotions and themes rarely dealt with in recent American music (the despair of a defeated soldier, etc.) Again, he makes all these things quite accessible without becoming condescending or overly sentimental.
If you're not familiar with modern Texas country music or "Americana", this is one of the best introductory albums I can imagine. If you are, then you should already know that this is an essential part of your collection.

Serve a daily dose of information
When tackling something complex, such as a foreign language or Vim commands, digesting small bits of knowledge might be more effective than consuming a super-sized meal of information. This month's Perl column gives you a method of serving up knowledge snippets by email.
No matter how good your command of English might be, there is always room for improvement. Or do you already know what "cynosure" or "exonym" means? Because I subscribe to "A.Word.A .Day" (AWAD), I receive a new word every day by email. Figure 1 shows how the service describes the daily word in simpler terms and provides examples of the word in action. A Tip a Day Because this approach is so effective, I thought of extending it to other fields. If there are daily tips for the Vim editor, why not have them for Perl? Or for the Java pitfall of the day? All it would take would be a script that stores the tips, and a cronjob that sends the tips to a list of subscribers every morning.

Usually holidays stress me out. Either I'm worried about making something that others will like, or I feel bad when I might not be able to eat something that a family member has made for me. If we go out, the chances of there being something I can eat besides a salad are slim. I admit: I have funny tastes. I love veggies. I don't eat meat (and for the past four months, haven't eaten eggs or cheese either -- my body truly doesn't enjoy how I feel after eating these delicious goods, sadly). Sugar doesn't work out for me either. No peeps. No rack of lamb or colorful hard-boiled eggs. Yet, I don't mind. When I get to cook for myself and go "all out," the stress melts away and I find myself day dreaming about possibilities rather than limitations.
This year, Andrew and I were too busy to meet up with family -- Andrew's bogged down with classes with intimidating names such as "Digital Logic" and "Calculus B" and I've been a busy bee with teaching and my yoga training. We don't have many weekends together, but this was an off week for training, so we decided to make Sunday a mostly-us day, with a home cooked Easter dinner to look forward to.
We started the day off with a flow yoga class, and then went to our neighborhood Rosemont Market, since not only are they awesome, but they were also the only market in town that was open for the holiday. After a light lunch, Andrew got to studying and I worked on some artwork and spent some time with my yoga text books in preparation for our midterms next weekend.
Then, the cooking began. The meal took about 2 hours to create, and it was worth every second in the end.
Eggplant & Mushroom Pie |
The menu:
- Eggplant and Mushroom Pie
- Gluten-free Vegan Garbanzo Bean Quiche
- Buckwheat and various lentils with pecans and olive oil
- Gluten-free and Vegan Carrot Delight Muffins
- Gluten-free, Sugar free, and Vegan Black Bean and Dark Chocolate Brownies with Date, Pecan, and Orange Zest Frosting
Gluten-free Vegan Garbanzo Bean Quiche (Crustless)
- Various cooked veggies of your choice. I used broccoli, onions, tomatoes, garlic and yellow squash. You should have about 3.5 cups, cooked. Spice with seasonings of your choice. I used dried basil and ginger.
- 1/4 cup Tomato Sauce of your choice
- 1 1/2 cups plain garbanzo bean flour mixed with just enough water to form a pancake-batter consistency
Gluten-free, almost sugar free, and Vegan Black Bean and Dark Chocolate Brownies with Date, Pecan, and Orange Zest Frosting
- 2 cups of pre-cooked black beans or 1 can of black beans (I like Eden because they are packed in BPA free cans), drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons flax seed plus 6 tablespoons warm water, mixed
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened chocolate, not processed with alkaline
- 1 tablespoon stevia (or sweetener of your choice...add more if you desire!)
- 1/2 cup buckwheat flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 ounces of a dark chocolate bar, cut into small chips. I used a 91% bar that was made without milk and minimal sugar
Date, Pecan, and Orange Zest Frosting
- 6 dates, pitted, and soaked in 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk for 4 hours (or stick the milk and dates in a ramekin and put it in the oven while the brownies are cooking to speed up the soaking process)
- 1/4 cup pecans
- zest from 1/2 an orange
- 2 orange slices
To me, this meal was a celebration. So many good things are happening in my life right now. I'm working with more students and love learning along with them. I just started up a new yoga class especially for kids, and yoga teacher training has introduced me to so many new concepts, ideas, and people. I also have some exciting opportunities lined up for the summer. There's so much to look forward to, so much springing up and blossoming and blooming. A holiday is a good excuse to celebrate, to be thankful, and to look forward to times to come.
What are you looking forward to?

2012 salary report: University of Michigan's top 16 execs collect $7.19M in base pay
- Related article: At $800,000 a year, Michigan AD Dave Brandon has the university's highest base salary
The University of Michigan's top 16 executives bring in $7.19 million in base pay— up 5 percent over last year.
Yet the base pay for several administrators doesn't account for six-figure bonuses or retention perks.
Athletic director Dave Brandon, who has the top base pay of $800,000, is more likely to make upwards of $1 million this year. In addition to his base, Brandon receives $100,000 in annual deferred compensation and has the possibility of a $200,000 bonus. Brandon received a $165,000 bonus last year, the highest possible under his old contract, according to documents obtained by AnnArbor.com through a Freedom of Information Request.
Per a contract extension established last summer, Brandon could make as much as $1.5M in 2018.
Brandon's pay is a $200,000 increase over last year.

Chief investor Erik Lundburg earns a salary of $575,000. However Lundberg, who is in charge of growing U-M's $7.7 billion endowment, actually makes more than double that.
Lundberg earned $1.36 million in 2011, according to W-2 information obtained by AnnArbor.com through FOIA. That's because Lundberg's pay is tied to the performance of U-M's investments.
"This incentive pay structure is standard for large university endowments and the total cost for managing the endowment is in line with other large endowments in the country," U-M spokesperson Rick Fitzgerald wrote in an e-mail.
Although U-M President Mary Sue Coleman earns a base salary just above $603,000, her actual compensation package is roughly 50 percent higher. In addition to her base salary, she earns a $100,000 yearly retention bonus, $175,000 in annual deferred compensation and $50,000 in annual retirement pay. She also receives the use of a car and residence.
Melanie Maxwell | AnnArbor.com
Coleman also serves on the executive boards of Johnson & Johnson and Meredith Corp. She took home $425,400 in 2011 for her service on those two boards, according to a Chronicle of Higher Education database derived from U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
Since Coleman began as president in 2002, her base pay has grown by more than $110,000. Both this year and last year Coleman donated her raise to scholarships. The donations are one-time gifts and the raise is not repeatedly invested in scholarship, according to U-M spokesperson Kelly Cunningham.
U-M regent S. Martin Taylor, who is part of the governing body that establishes Coleman's salary, said that after benchmarking Coleman's salary with her peers he found it's "not out of line in terms of being too high."
"If anything it is too low," he said when the Board of Regents awarded Coleman a raise in September.
Jeff Sainlar I AnnArbor.com
"I am very well compensated," Coleman said in September.
U-M Health System executive officer Ora Pescovitz earns $753,806 in base pay and another $100,000 in deferred compensation. Her bonus can reach $150,000 per year.
In 2011, she earned $855,000, roughly $116,000 more than her base pay then, FOIA documents show.
Doug Strong, UMHS financial chief and Pescovitz's second-in-command, earns $625,770 in base pay and gets another $60,000 in deferred compensation. He also has the possibility of lucrative performance bonuses.
Deborah Kowich, interim general counsel, is earning $312,206 per year —the same as former general counsel Suellyn Scarnecchia, who resigned in May. Kowich will be replaced on Jan. 7 by permanent chief lawyer Timothy Lynch, who will earn $400,000, or 28 percent more than his predecessor.
That's the second-largest salary increase of a top administrator position this fiscal year. He'll bring the earnings of U-M's top 16 executives to $7.28 million.
Lynch wasn't included in the 2012 salary report released by the college.
Melanie Maxwell | AnnArbor.com
Merit increases for top executives ranged from 1.5 percent to 5 percent this year. The average merit increase for executive officers —not including Brandon, Strong and Lundberg— was 2.8 percent, compared to an average 2.9 percent merit increase for faculty and a 2.2 percent merit increase for staff.
Merit increases are based on performance and do not include salary adjustments made for other reasons.
Provost Philip Hanlon received the largest merit increase among executive officers. Dartmouth College recently announced that Hanlon would leave U-M to become president of the Ivy League college in July 2013.
Top U-M executives ranked by their base pay:
- Dave Brandon — athletic director — $800,000, up 33 percent from $600,454. Salary does not come from general fund.

Memories of Summer Mini Album
Hello, Kristen Swain here with a summer memories album that will be sure to warm you up as you look through it during the cold winter months. I created this simple album focusing on keeping my die cut elements large, my photos about wallet sized and using bright colors. I used all cardstock so I kept costs down but was able to keep colors on each page.
Using a plain album, I decided that using spray mist would help me add background color, without the difficulty of trimming off paper at the edges of the cover. I used a lime and a jack frost color, then added in a spray and larger drops of turquoise across the front and back of the album. There is a touch of glitz as well. Then I cut some bright colorful letters for the title, adding in a bright sun as well, and I used brown for the rest of the title, so it would stand out, but not be the strongest color on the front.
I created the inside album pages by cutting 8.5 x 11 paper to fit, punching holes where I would thread the album together later. Next, I thought about which photos I wanted to use, printed them out and searched in Cricut Craft Room for images to go along with my page. Details on each page include banner pieces. These are easily cut from strips of paper that with a triangle shape notched out from the ends with scissors. Add bright coordinating buttons tied with twine bows. I kept my journaling simple, handwriting it with a journaling pen.
Simple, easy, and colorful. I hope you have enjoyed my summer album. I have left space to add more pages as we continue our summer activities.
Take care!

Doggy Treat Container
Welcome Cricut Fans! It's Juliana Michaels! I have a fun little up-cycle/recycle project to share with you today to create a fun treat container for your perfect pooch! My husband and I have recently made friends with some sweet neighbors who have dogs. So now when we want a dog fix, we know where to go! LOL!!! With that in mind, I was inspired to create today's project using my Cricut Expression machine, Cricut Vinyl, and an empty 2lb plus coffee can.
Here is the empty container before I decorated it. I want to say thanks to my Dad for drinking so much coffee and being willing to part with a few of his empty containers. He uses these to store all kinds of things, but was happy to share a few with me for my crafting projects.
I selected images from Create A Critter and Animal Kingdom and then laid out my design in the Cricut Craft Room using the fill mode to select colors. This always helps me decide what colors to use because I can see it before I cut it! I love that!!!
I pre-cut small pieces of the vinyl, just larger than the image to be cut and placed them on my mat in the same place as they are on the Cricut Craft Room cutting mat.
One way to apply small vinyl cuts is to peel back part of the lining to help you place the vinyl on the surface. It worked equally well to peel off all of the lining and put it on just like any sticker. It was very easy to remove the vinyl and replace it on the coffee can surface. However, once you start sticking vinyl on top of vinyl it is not so easy to remove because it sticks more and the vinyl tends to stretch if you are not very careful.
Now that the yellow panels are in place we will begin to decorate the container.
Add your wording first. I wanted the dog images to slightly overlap the words so it is important to put the words on first because it is hard to lift up the dog to get the words underneath without stretching the vinyl as I mentioned above.
Add your dog silhouette.
A great tip I found in adding the top layer for the dog was to peel off the image and then use the scrap lining from the yellow pieces. I placed the dog image just off the edge and then I was able to place it just how I wanted on the black silhouette. I wanted to slightly offset the top layer so this worked perfectly!
Here are some up close images of the dalmatian
and the poodle!
Maybe you don't have pets either, but this same idea could be used for so many things. These containers are huge and would work well to hold all kinds of crafty, scrappy goodness too! Think how cute these would be decorated to match your scrappy room!!! Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed this little workshop!

Cellar/Tasting Notes "A profound Leoville Las Cases, it is one of the great modern day wines of Bordeaux. This wine's hallmark remains a sur-maturite (over-ripeness) of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape.

Social Media Atlanta - what?
Seven months ago, I was hired on as a summer intern at Newell Rubbermaid and was told that one of my (many) projects would be helping coordinate an event at the end of the summer - "it will be a lot of fun!"
Monday, November 8 is the start of this great event!
I, along with a bazillion other absolutely amazing volunteers, organizers and sponsors, have coordinated a week-long event celebrating Atlanta's social media and technological achievements. November 8-15, we will hosting more than 40 events covering topics that will showcase HR, Travel & Tourism, Multiculturalism, Location-Based Services, LinkedIn/Facebook/Blogging 101 for small businesses and entrepreneurs, Viral, Experiential, Sports & Entertainment, Food and so much more! There are seminars, book signings, panels, Meetups/Tweetups, a pub crawl…and many have already sold out - not too shabby for an inaugural event! (No worries, there are still plenty events still available and we even have waiting lists in place so GO SIGN UP NOW!)
Social Media Atlanta 2010 is so social that it has more than 1050 fans on Facebook, 920 followers on Twitter (@SMATL2010), a hashtag (#SMATL), a revamped Wordpress, a Flickr page to upload event photos to, a Twitter Newspaper, a YouTube channel, a proclamation at City Hall, and we are even checking attendees into events using an iphone app from Eventbrite! Whew. How's that for social?
As a college student graduating in merely FIVE WEEKS from that bubble she calls The University of Georgia, it's time to network!

ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. (AP) --The Elizabethtown City Council took some of the bang out of the small explosives Monday, when it voted to prohibit the ignition of fireworks between 11 p.m. and 8 a.m., and on city property, except in pre-approved professional displays.
Mayor Tim Walker told The News-Enterprise the intent of the restrictions is to curtail use of fireworks in residential areas during late hours, which could disturb residents. As a result, the ordinance states no one shall be allowed to ignite them once the restricted hour falls, meaning the city is expected to comply, too.
But Walker said the restrictions should not throw a damper on city plans, because officials try to plan fireworks displays at dusk and finish them before curfew.

Offensive Security Releases Kali Linux
Offensive Security announces the release of Kali Linux – their "most advanced, robust, and stable penetration testing distribution to date."
Kali Linux is based on the company's BackTrack Linux distro but has been rebuilt from the ground up. The company calls Kali Linux "a more mature, secure, and enterprise-ready version of BackTrack Linux." Kali Linux is intended for professional penetration testing and security auditing, and the developers emphasize that the distribution is not recommended for those unfamiliar with Linux.
According to the Kali Linux website: "Seven years of developing BackTrack Linux has taught us a significant amount about what we, and the security community, think a penetration testing distribution should look like. We've taken all of this knowledge and experience and implemented it in our 'next generation' penetration testing distribution."
Features of Kali Linux include: single user, root access by design; network services disabled by default; custom Linux kernel patched for wireless injection; more than 300 penetration testing tools; and compliance with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. Additionally, Kali Linux offers ARM support and is available for the following ARM devices: rk3306 mk/ss808, Raspberry Pi, ODROID U2/X2, and Samsung Chromebook.

Margie Stanley made it a point in life to make sure people had something to eat.
That goal didn't end with her death.
When Stanley, 83, died in Lillington on Feb. 25, she left one request: Forget the flowers; remember me with peanut butter.
Family and friends did just that, delivering more than 300 jars to the Harnett County Food Bank.
"She said that she hoped we might top 100 jars,'' said her daughter Carolyn Cox. "We did three times that, and people donated more than $1,100 to the food bank, as well. It was a wonderful tribute to a wonderful woman."
Margie Bennett was born in Erwin in October 1929 to W.C. and Lula Smith Bennett. Her dad worked in the denim mill, then moved to a farm near Lillington to raise his family.
She was the "knee baby," the fourth of five kids, and between church, school and the farm, didn't have time for much else.
She did find time to meet a local boy, Melvin Stanley. When he came back from World War II, they began seriously dating, and they married in 1949. Eventually, they raised five children.
Margie Stanley didn't put up with much foolishness when it came to work, but she had a soft spot for those in need. Often, she would put food out for the hired hands at work, and she made sure families had enough to eat.
"She loved flowers, and she loved quilting," her daughter said. "But much of her life was work. She'd get up early, work until 11, then stop to make lunch. Then it was back to work again."
She was an active member of Ephesus Presbyterian Church, where she served as an elder and Sunday school teacher. It was at Ephesus that she learned about the food bank and just how close so many families in Harnett County were to hunger.
"She decided to do everything she could to prevent that," said her son Ray Stanley. "That's where the idea for peanut butter came from."
Food banks are chronically short of protein, primarily canned meat and peanut butter. She began to work with the church to help the food bank, then reached into the community.
"We always had a pig picking for friends and family," Ray Stanley said. "People would always say, 'Let me bring something,' and we'd end up with mounds of half-eaten cakes and desserts.
"She started telling people instead to bring jars of peanut butter and enjoy the party. Everyone had a good time, and the pantry got food."
As her time drew short, Margie Stanley cared less about herself than about the hungry. She asked her children to solicit peanut butter, rather than flowers.
"We had some very nice arrangements, anyway," Cox said. "But it would have made her laugh to see all the jars piled up at O'Quinn's Funeral Home. People brought them there, to the church, to the visitation - they were everywhere!
"I know people think that any canned food is fine for a food bank, and that's true. But canned meat, peanut butter, fruit cocktail are things that really make a difference.
"A lot of families will have something to eat, thanks to my mom. And I think that means more to her than anything."

Five Spice Street is a novel about a street in an unnamed city whose inhabitants speculate on the life of a mysterious Madam X. The novel interweaves their endless suppositions into a work that is at once political parable and surreal fantasia. Some think X is 50 years old; others that she is 22. Some believe she has occult powers and has thereby enslaved the young men of the street; others think she is a common trickster playing mind games with the common people.
Who is Madam X? How has she brought the good people of Five Spice Street to their knees either in worship or in exasperation? The unknown narrator takes no sides in the endless dialectic of visions, arguments, and opinions. The investigation rages, the street becomes a Walpurgisnacht of speculations, fantasies, and prejudices. Madam X is a vehicle whereby the people bare their souls, through whom they reveal themselves even as they try to penetrate the mystery of her extraordinary powers.
Five Spice Street is one of the most astonishing novels of the past twenty years. Exploring the collective consciousness of this little street of ordinary people, Can Xue penetrates the deepest existential anxieties of the present day, whether in China or in the West, where the inevitable impermanence of identity struggles with the narrative within which identity must compose itself.
When it comes to Madam X's age, here on Five Spice Street opinions differ; there's no way to decide who's right. There must be at least twenty-eight points of view, because at the oldest, she's about fifty (for now, let's fix it at fifty); at the youngest, she's twenty-two.
It was dusk on a sultry summer day. After dinner, everyone sat out on the street to enjoy the cool breeze when suddenly, two balls of white light like meteors streamed in the air, and Madam X's white silk skirt that shone all through with light flashed before their eyes. The little boy was also dressed in white, but no one could tell what the material was.
Can Xue, meaning "dirty snow, leftover snow", is the pseudonym of Deng Xiaohua (b.1953), author of many novels and short works of fiction in Chinese. Her publications in English include Dialogues in Paradise (short stories), Old Floating Cloud (two novellas), The Embroidered Shoes (short stories), and most recently Blue Light in the Sky and Other Stories. Formerly a tailor, Can Xue began to write fiction in 1983, publishing her first works in 1985. She lives in Beijing.
"Can Xue's novel approach to writing fiction in Five Spice Street offers the reader a delightful puzzle whose pieces constantly change shape and shatter into ever smaller fragments."--John Madera, Bookslut
