Here they're saying it's anyone under 25, anyone caring for an infant, health care workers, and anyone 25-65 with compromised immune systems.

We ARE the at risk population for this, especially since we're on campuses where things spread like wild-fire.

I've been on the same page of this chapter book for almost 2 hours.

It's a chapter book on immunology. I'm a big kid now.

I really like yuengling, though the taste confuses me for some reason. I think it's the camel piss in it.
Fixed that for you.

this is a good DVD to see him in action...



although he doesn't speak much of piano technique, I find his comments on performing and recording very interesting.

I've been doing Hatha yoga for 21 years. Varying degrees of regularity.

was thinking of doing it last year, but didn't. thinking it's worth doing this year.

just got an info packed email from a friend of mine, detailing the do's and don'ts. she's a cyclist/yoga instructor - who happened to advise against bikram btw. at least at this point, which is beginner. her advice was 1. do a one on one to start out with, and 2. Iyengar.

it's all batüwü griekgriek to me.

Yeah, Bikram's been described as "rambo yoga" -- it's not for the timid. But I find that usually by the time we get into the tree pose, I sort of space out and my body just does it's thing. It's also really good for flexibility due to the heat of the room (100f).

What are your goals? If you're looking for just strengthening and flexibility, learning any of a number of asana's can do that. Any Hatha or Iyengar class can probably help, the difference being that Iyengar will often incorporate tools like blocks/ropes to help with the poses and Hatha is just using the resistance of your own body.

Oh yeah, I keep telling most of the college kids I know that yoga classes are also great places to meet women.

Flexible yoga instructor? Hubba hubba.

My wife is about as flexible as a broom stick. She's always complaining about her posture and pains here and there. I tell he what she needs to do. But does she do it? Nope.

core strength, lengthening muscle, good joint health, and that last thing you mentioned isn't so bad either.

the friend who's advising me (pity she's in a 2 hour flight away) is pretty adamant that i avoid bikram. in her words "too much like aerobics and the greatest potential for injury." seeing as she gives lessons to guys we watch on TV, i trust her opinion.
