That looks like a giant Ponderosa Pine tree that you're posed in front of... Is it really that kind of tree? Welcome... I don't know where any of those people are now, but I also was in the USAF when I first got involved in TWI... in Oct 1974, Lajes Field, Azores.

I checked out Taubes's book at the library the other day.... I'm not sure I need to read all the studies, but do want to get to the summaries thereof. btw, one of the clinical nutritionists at the VA medical center here in Phoenix, when I asked her about Taubes's book (this week), said I was the third person who had done so very recently. She said she has the book and hasn't begun reading it. To me, that says she's open minded about it. When I get feedback from her, I'll let y'all know.

How precious! ;)

I've known people like that... indeed, that's very well put.

Yeah, a lot of stuff in life is annoying... I could probably list 50 things without stopping for lunch, and 51 of them might be true facts.

I'm still not understanding what I did today to cause you to make that statement... ???

What did I do?

MOVE!

Nope, nothing like that for the Dbacks.

Perhaps, good doctor, to properly evaluate your claim, you could give us some numbers... like what is your before/after weight and body composition percentages?

If I may be FRANK (but do NOT call me SHIRLEY), I wondered why nobody just told him not to let the door hit him on the bee-hind on his way out (to the desert)...

2nd oldest? I never knew you had more kids than just Andrew. I like the pic with the girl, but mostly because of the nicely composed shot of the scenery.

Oh, and because it's hot here (REALLY hot), I turn my hot water heater heat off in the summer... still have water plenty warm for showers.

thanks, I'll look that up... I do get HMO, but don't usually watch Costas. but I LOVE those Miller High Life spots... :)

did the ceiling fan/thermostat adjustment for the a/c three years ago. Also, three years ago (when I moved to where I now live) I planted trees/bushes that are now providing dramatically increased shade. I use my gas grill as an oven (outdoors) instead of heating my house (to cook many things, including pizza... during the hot months anyway. dramatically reduced my driving so that I only buy one tank of gas/mo (still costs $50). Taking the bus and riding bicycle much more. Is it worth it? Hell yes. I couldn't meet my monthly expenses otherwise. I'm seriously considering purchase of a motorscooter. I'm considering both electric and gas powered options.

...the skyboxes, up in section La De Dah... ...common sense, this is YOUR wake up call, GIT yo but up! ...hi-life housekeeping... I think those commerncials are the coolest I've ever seen. They don't make me wanna buy Miller High Life, but they sure are entertaining. :)

For thirteen-fifty, I'll BE a macadamia nut!

15th inning... still tied... gotta watch Letterman... Webb got his time in, did well!

I don't use a blackberry... even the cell phone I use is 5 years old...

More power to ya, cake!

Lettuce not forget that Oprah was sued or charged (I forget which) for defaming BEEF in Texas!!! And they actually TRIED her. However, Mstar clearly identifies the dilemma, or at least gives a reasonable example thereof. And even though Raf did not cite a reference, given his profession (I have seen his byline on the sun-sentinal's website), and his professional affiliations, I would hold his insight FAR higher (in credibility) than just any joe blow quoting something he found by doing a google search. And, as I said before, there are NUMEROUS reasons that the apparent statutes quoted by WD are of no practical use (cannot be enforced) and therefore are as if they do not exist.

Thank you dooj!

Now that's a statement made by someone who has extensively practiced using words for a living!!! Nicely done.
