Some workout ideas
Some of Mark Wahlberg's workout
Micky Ward Trains You for the Ring
By Bryan Payton
You need a strong core to be a strong boxer, says Ward, the pugilist Mark Wahlberg plays in The Fighter. "That's where all your power comes from. When you twist to throw a punch, you throw your hips and entire core into it." Follow his routine.
1 Pushup
15 reps
2 McGill curlup
15 reps each leg
Lie faceup—right leg straight, left leg bent so your foot is flat on the floor. With palms under your lower-back arch, lift your head and shoulders (don't bend your lower back). Pause, then lower.
3 Side crunch
15 reps each side
Lie straight on your left side and brace your feet against a wall or a heavy object. Rest your left hand on your chest, and place your right hand behind your head. Crunch your torso toward your hip. Pause, and then return to the starting position.
4 Hip-up
10 reps each side
Lie on your left side, propping your upper body up with your left elbow and forearm and keeping your knees straight. Raise your hips so that your torso is beyond parallel to the floor and your body forms a straight line from your head to ankles. Pause, and then lower.
5 Medicine-ball twist
15 reps
Hold a medicine ball at chest level, arms straight out. Without moving your torso, rotate your arms far to the left, then far to the right. That's 1 rep. Continue back and forth as fast as you can.
Do 2 or 3 circuits total.
Pushup
McGill Curlup
Side Crunch
Side Plank
Weighted Russian Twist

Plumbing Fun
Fix A Running Toilet
Drain Repairs
If you have a moderately clogged drain, try this homemade drain cleaner: Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda down the drain followed by 1/2 cup of vinegar. Be careful. The two ingredients interact with foaming and fumes, so replace the drain cover loosely. Let the concoction set for about three hours before running water.
If you know the slow drain is from grease, try this treatment: Pour in 1/2 cup of salt and 1/2 cup of baking soda followed by a teakettle of boiling water. Allow to sit overnight.
You can keep your drains clog-free and odorless by using the following homemade noncorrosive drain cleaner weekly. Combine 1 cup baking soda, 1 cup table salt, and 1/4 cup cream of tartar. Stir ingredients together thoroughly and pour into a clean, covered jar. Pour 1/4 cup of mixture into drain, and immediately add 1 cup boiling water. Wait 10 seconds, then flush with cold water. Flushing weekly with a generous amount of boiling water also works well.

Early Tomatoes
ideas for early tomato varieties from the Oregonian...
I talked to Josh Kirschenbaum, who does product development for Territorial Seed Co., and was astonished to learn that of the 300 varieties growing in the trial gardens at London Springs near Cottage Grove, only about 10 had ripened by Aug. 25. And they know what they're doing.
The tomatoes that had come along were cherry types such as 'Gold Nugget' or ultra-early varieties like 'Glacier' and 'Stupice.'
The tomatoes that had come along were cherry types such as 'Gold Nugget' or ultra-early varieties like 'Glacier' and 'Stupice.'
In a last-ditch effort to get the red on, Kirschenbaum suggested:
- Cut back on water to twice a week. If you've got plastic mulch, go down to once a week.
- Pinch off flowers and some of the smaller fruit.
- You can go to the trouble of building a plastic tent, but that seems like a lot of work ... and iffy at this point.
comment: what we do is plant a variety of types, always including some of the "Russian" types - which in my experience do better in cooler weather years than the hot-blooded Mediterranean varieties... this year that strategy has paid off admirably for us.

Moqueca or Mokeka
Moqueca de camarão Dendê (palm) oil brings to the cooking of coastal Brazil what drums bring to samba: an insistent underlying sensuality. It transforms the coconut milk with its deep orange-red color and makes the flavor of the shrimp sing. But it is as perishable as it is seductive, so smell it before you use it. Active time: 25 min Start to finish: 45 min Yield: Makes 6 servingsActive Time: 25 min Total Time: 45 min  1 1/4 lb large shrimp in shell (21 to 25 per lb), peeled and deveined 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice 1 (14- to 15-oz) can diced tomatoes including juice 1 medium onion, finely chopped 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 teaspoon cayenne 5 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro 1 cup well-stirred canned unsweetened coconut milk 1 tablespoon dendê (palm) oil* Accompaniment: cooked white rice  Toss shrimp with black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, garlic, and lemon juice and marinate, covered and chilled, 20 minutes. Purée tomatoes with juice in a blender until smooth. Cook onion and bell pepper in olive oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Add cayenne, 1 tablespoon cilantro, and remaining teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add tomato purée and simmer briskly, stirring, until mixture is very thick, about 15 minutes. Stir in coconut milk and bring to a boil, then add shrimp mixture and cook, stirring, until shrimp are just cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in dendê oil and remaining 4 tablespoons cilantro and season with salt and pepper. * Available at Brazilian and West African markets and Kalustyan's (800-352-3451). |
