tania@227:
ooo! that sounds good! I'll try it tonight on some of TJ's Norwegian salmon kabobs ("the best part of the salmon" they call it -- it's the fatty underbelly, salmon toro, almost).
The character Liz on the Roswell TV series was not played or cast Latino – but in the books by Melinda Metz, that character was Latino, I believe. Her name was Liz Ortecho, not Liz Parker. That series was curiously lacking in Latinos, considering it's set in New Mexico.
Serge@127: my grandfather would take us kids down to the cool basement to escape the hot and humid Missouri summertimes; that was where he stored the apples – he'd cut slices, salt them, and hand them around. Mmmmmm.
and, since I hail from Alaska, I must add:
Alaskan salmon?
Dress with mayo, lime, and dill
Grill for twelve minutes
Here's a quick link to the online compounding pharmacy I've been using for a year (thyroid and bio-identical HRT meds). They've always been very responsive both by phone and by email. It's set up so they just ship the meds out every month, I don't have to ping them at all.
I'm sure there are many others out there, I just happen to have this handy (and I have no business relationship with them beyond being a satisfied customer).

What a nightmare -- my sympathies.
for xeger, regarding alternative style pushups: I've had huge shoulder/rotary, back and carpal problems over the years; have avoided surgery through the judicious application of yoga.
With what you could call yoga-style pushups, you move between concave and convex poses, so the shoulders and spine etc. stay reasonably happy. You can vary intensity more easily than with standard pushups too.
You do everything while breathing deep through your nose, and stay in each pose for a while. the slower you move the more intense the work. If you image-google these pose names you'll find examples.
1. From "downward facing dog" pose (forward fold from the hips till your hands hit the floor say three-four feet in front of you; hands and feet should be shoulder-width apart; stick your butt up in the air like a dog stretching; let your head/neck relax -- shouldn't be touching the floor. You'll get a major stretch along the backs of your legs, don't tear anything.)
2. Move to "plank" (like the top of a standard pushup, body and arms straight))
3. Move to "chaturanga" (slowly lower yourself to pusup position an inch off the floor, elbows close to body --I kinda collapse on this part usually, or just move through it)
4. Move to "cobra" or "upward facing dog" -- arch your back the other direction, straighten your arms
5. Then back to downward facing dog. Rinse and repeat.
6. To finish, walk feet forward into a forward fold, hang there a minute, then roll up to standing.
Many yoga classes will step you through something similar to this.
yow, sorry for length, folks...but it does feel good, just like stretching like my cat does...
Or, is it a phish-hook for catching indignant liberals...?
I'm using a new browser, hadn't blocked pop-ups yet, and therefore, having clicked on the stoptheaclu.org link, I am now sharing my screen with an animated uke-playing hula doll espousing Childrens (sic) computer software cheap.
"Two kinds of gratitude: the sudden kind
We feel for what we take, the larger kind
We feel for what we give."
A great description of one reason that the open source movement is so compelling for many people...and, Jules, thanks for the fractal image links. Because of your post, it strikes me that this crew might like these Electric Sheep (run by a friend, Scott Draves; and disclosure, I composed a soundtrack for a DVD of this work).
Electric Sheep is open source algorithmic art/artificial life propagating via p2p (and is named after Philip K. Dick's work of course):

Navel oranges! yum! Fruit trees can be so oh-tee-tee. We have *five* tall plum trees enriching our lives, all perfectly ripe Right Now...squish, squish.
Discovery of the year: Meyer lemons will grow from seeds saved upon consumption. And flourish, and flower, indoors or out. I'm starting a mini-Meyer orchard.
mmmm, fireflies!
Teresa, your recipe for your dried-basil mix a few months ago triggered my garden frenzy this year...tomatos and peppers and thyme, oh my. And arugula! My current genovese and sweet basil scores: from seed, barely there after two months -- that one-inch phenomenon. Hmph. However, those planted from two-inch seedlings bolted. When I started nipping the flowerbuds they seemed to consider, briefly, spreading out into those gratifying fat basil bushes...but no, a week's neglect and they're at it again. They've got basketball-center genes.
We live in a big farmhouse-style house in Berkeley, and are reclaiming the large back garden/yard which has been variously loved over the years. Right now it's recuperating from a lengthy episode with an abusive contractor/builder. The mint is, of course, just fine, despite having had lumber piled on top of it for more than a year. Every week we find some new treasure, or mourn an atrocity. The onion patch is probably irretrievable, but gorgeous red poppies are volunteering here and there. (I wonder if we can get busted for these. Remember when Seattle cops were arresting 80-year-old ladies for having opium poppies in their front yards, planted by their sea-faring husbands? And this is Berkeley after all...)
