Vinyasa Flow Yoga has been one of my best discoveries over the past year. Seane Corn's DVDs are terrific and easy to follow.
A lot of you may eschew yoga has a hippie trend or have some other bias against it, but in my experience it's a great addition to life's routines that helps to keep me grounded, relaxed and able to deal with whatever comes my way.
What do you have to lose besides a few pounds and a ton of stress!

It looks as though Al's going to stay on the sidelines.
So, our next best hope to fix the mess we are in has to be Hillary!

Russia claims the pole and everyone else loses all sensibility!
So, Russia planted a tiny flag under water at the geographic north pole.
BFD.
Btw, this is the Russian Arctic Base Camp above.
The problem with this situation is not that Russia has claimed the pole with the goal of exploiting its reported gas and oil reserves (25% of total available resources globally be some estimates.).
The problem is the reaction of all these other countries to jump all over the issue and claim that they have sovereignty over the area and thus have rights to this reserve.
Ok, so that's only part of the problem. The big picture issue here is that they are already planning how to create a new arctic route to save going through the Panama canal with all the booty!
BIG PICTURE PEOPLE! BIIIIIG PICTURE!!!
The reason it is even possible to consider an arctic route for heavy oceanic transport is because the ICE is melting!
The ICE is melting in large part due to global warming!
GLOBAL WARMING is being hastened by the unchecked burning of OIL & GAS!
Common sense should allow us to consider that if:
A) Arctic Ice is melting because of Global Warming
+
B) Global Warming is hastened by burning of Oil and Gas
=
C) Then perhaps we should be more concerned about keeping anyone from touching the Oil and Gas in the Arctic region and focus on ways to develop clean and renewable energy.
I can't be the only one thinking of this. That's way too scary a thought that I am the voice of reason in the world!
In past years, (read before 2000) I would have suggested writing to the President and to your Congressmen and Senators. You can try writing your representatives but it'll probably prove as useless as writing to Bush and Cheney about it.
When even the environmentally Kennedy clan is sucked in by their own and other rich folks' interests (Ted Kennedy opposes Cape Wind project while only 14% of his constituents oppose it. But then, 86% of his constituents don't have homes on Nantucket that may be disturbed by the faintest sight of wind turbines 5 and 1/2 miles off the coast of the Kennedy compound!), there really can't be much use in writing, calling or emailing anymore!
So Bill, what can we do?
I'm glad you asked. I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Third Party.
And I hate to say it but Unity 08 doesn't cut it. It's clear that people in this country just don't get that flag waving fervor going over a word like Unity! They may favor it, they may even admit that it's a good idea, but they will not be putting stickers on their pickups about it!
What we need is a third party with a strong libertarian leaning and a name like the Patriot party.
Who doesn't want to support a Patriot? Before McCain sold out to Bush and Falwell he may have even been a contender for such a party, but no more.
Now's the time for action before we slide so far down that proverbial slippery slope that it's impossible to recover. Wake up folks! It's time to mobilize and strive for change. In a peaceful and non-violent manner of course! Did you hear me NSA? I'm sure you did. Give out a shout out to Alberto for me! :-)
Our job, daresay our duty, as Americans and human beings is to find a way to stop this ridiculous childish behaviour and get this country back on track as a nation that leads the world by example (good example!) rather than trying to force our will down the throats of others from the barrel of a gun!
Be nice.
Peace
