...sensible practice of yoga does more than slap a Happy Face on your cerebrum. It can also massage the lymph system, says Dr. Mehmet Oz, a cardiac surgeon at New York Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan. Lymph is the body's dirty dishwater; a network of lymphatic vessels and storage sacs crisscross over the entire body, in parallel with the blood supply, carrying a fluid composed of infection-fighting white blood cells and the waste products of cellular activity. Exercise in general activates the flow of lymph through the body, speeding up the filtering process; but yoga in particular promotes...
Even though the gig is up, Reubens is eager to do Pee-wee again. He's co-writing the second of two Pee-wee movies he hopes to shop to studios soon; this one starts in the Playhouse before the story moves, Wizard of Oz-style, to somewhere even more messed up. The other one, The Pee-wee Herman Story, is what Reubens is calling "the adult Pee-wee movie" and has the tight-suited one making it as a pop singer, moving to Hollywood, becoming insanely famous and turning into a monster. "Pee-wee Herman winds up getting hooked...

Powdered soy is also found in energy-boosting candy bars and drinks. To get 1.5 oz. of protein from soybeans, you would need to consume 4 oz. of beans, and of tofu--get those taste buds ready--more than a pound...
...there anyone out there who doesn't know all this? Isn't "Kong" as much a part of our culture as "The Wizard of Oz"? It was a much bigger hit than "Oz" when it opened on March 2, 1933, filling the two largest theaters in New York to capacity - the Roxy and Radio City Music Hall, with 10,000 seats between them - for 10 shows daily. In L.A. it broke box-office records at Sid Graumann's Chinese (where 13-year-old Ray Harryhausen saw it with his aunt). It was a hit in five rereleases as well, especially...
