Couple's shock as burglars try to flood Chippenham home (From The Wiltshire Gazette and Herald)

Couple's shock as burglars try to flood Chippenham home
9:25am Thursday 13th December 2012 in News By Jill Crooks, Devizes area senior reporter
Chippenham couple Margaret and Brian Burbidge have spoken of their shock and anger after burglars tried to flood their home.
The couple returned to their house in Cepen Park North after visiting friends to find their kitchen and utility room flooding.
They managed to rescue nine-year-old pet rabbit Bright Eyes who was in a box which was filling up with water in the utility room.
The thieves had turned on the taps and emptied washing powder to create a foamy mess after they had ransacked upstairs. They stole jewellery, which is of sentimental value, belonging to Mrs Burbidge.
Fighting back tears Mrs Burbidge, 61, said: "We were horrified.
"It's upsetting enough to have the house ransacked – your clothes on the floor, everything gone through – but to have it vandalised is totally unnecessary. What was the point?
"We are both very upset about it. I think we are fairly charitable people, but you do feel you are being targeted.
"Based on the amount of water there was we think the taps had been running for about 20 minutes. There was water cascading over the units and it covered the whole floor but it could have been a lot worse."
Mrs Burbidge, a social worker, is particularly upset at the loss of her jewellery, most of which was handed down by her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
The items include a marcasite ring, her engagement ring, an engraved silver locket containing family photographs and a small notepad in a silver case that belonged to her grandfather.
The burglary was on Friday, November 9, between 4.30pm and 9.45pm.
Police are linking it to a similar offence in the Stanton St Quintin area on the same day and are liaising with other police forces to establish if they have experienced similar offences.
Acting Detective Inspector Mark Kent, of Melksham CID, said: "This offence is indeed unusual. Being burgled is a traumatic experience which is exacerbated further by the offenders leaving taps running."
Mrs Burbidge is willing to offer a small reward for the return of her jewellery.
Anyone with information can contact PC Andrew Henson at Melksham on 101.

Immigration Law
Top HS Grad, 18, Jailed for Deportation
Posted Jul 27, 2007 2:44 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
When Juan Gomez graduated from high school in Miami this year, everyone he knew expected great things of him. The 18-year-old reportedly is one of the most stellar students ever to attend Killian High—a popular football player, he also graduated among the top 20 in his 780-student class and earned near-perfect scores on his college admission tests.
Now, however, Gomez is jailed in a Broward County detention facility, awaiting deportation to Colombia rather than the start of a new school year in an honors program at Miami Dade College. His crime: staying in this country illegally, with his parents and brother, who moved here when Juan Gomez was 2 years old, reports the Miami Herald.
The case is putting a troubling individual face, for those who know Gomez, on a commonplace issue of immigrants living in this country illegally, and providing an unexpected civics lesson for his friends. More than 400 teens have rallied to his cause, and are petitioning legislators in Tallahassee and Washington, D.C., seeking their help with his case.
Gomez is a "poster child for who we should NOT be deporting," writes Eric Krause, a Killian government teacher, in an e-mail to the Miami Herald. "Deporting a student who the entire Killian faculty would describe as one of the best our high school has ever produced is not the American way.''

Everyone keeps saying that we need to go after Al Afalava, and everyone is saying it was a surpise cut. They wouldn't have cut him to make room, that's for sure, he was doing horrible this off-season/pre-season. That's why he was cut.
"Safety Al Afalava, the Bears 6th round pick in the 2009 Draft, was also let go, after starting 13 games as a rookie last season. He plummeted down the depth chart in the offseason after he struggled badly in coverage and had trouble wrapping up

With that said I think the Jaguars will need to pursue somebody else at safety, and then cut Don Carey.

Tips for relaxed + natural wedding party photos
Wedding party photos tend to make me cringe. The poses are awkward and the faces are cheesy. How do you make your photos appear fun and relaxed? Here are some of my favorite examples and why they work.
1. (photo up top) Clump together. It's natural for people to talk in clumps, so why not take pictures that way? Plus, the little guy on the hay barrel acts like a little boy–no pretenses. Image from here.
2. (below) If you want to do a pose, a line is a more artsy approach. Then again, the faces and postures are more relaxed making it seem like they are happy to be there. Image from here.
3. Elevations. I think we all can agree that Kate Moss' wedding is beyond words. This memorable photo is straight out of a Pre-Raphaelite painting. The kids sit in various positions–some high and some low–to break up the monotony of a simple line. Image from here.
4. Vanity Fair approach. The famed celebrity issue always features a dozen or so celebrities in a beautiful horizontal layout sitting on stools and chaise lounges. It's artfully styled. Make sure you have someone at the wedding who can direct everyone.
5. Small clusters. Opt for small clusters. It's easier to see everyone when you're in smaller groups. Image from here and here.

Welcome to the seventh installment of the 20 Greatest Wrestling Matches between MMA Stars. In this edition we take you way back to classic mixed martial artists while mixing in a bit of the contemporary.
7. Kevin Jackson vs. Yoel Romero-1997 World Cup of Freestyle Wrestling
After a gold medal in freestyle wrestling at the 1992 Olympics at 82 kilograms, and a couple of wrestling world championships, Kevin Jackson had a pretty successful run in the early UFC. A year after failing to make a second Olympic team in 1996, Jackson won the UFC 14 Middleweight Tournament. Though he would lose his next two fights in the UFC, and never fight in the promotion again, Jackson's short MMA career went fairly well.
After a silver medal in freestyle wrestling at the 2000 Olympics at 85 kg, and a world wrestling championship, Yoel Romero is having a good run as a middleweight in the UFC, right now, in 2014.
Considering the almost 17-year gap between their UFC stints, it's crazy to think that Romero and Jackson once met in a high profile wrestling match. The two wrestled each other at the 1997 World Cup with Jackson coming away the victor. I recently had a chance to ask Jackson for details regarding this match, but he would only divulge that Romero was "young".
6. Mark Coleman vs. Mark Kerr- 1988 NCAA Championship
These two massively muscled original masters of taking someone down and punching them in the face might have been MMA contemporaries, but they experienced little overlap in their best wrestling years. However, in the first round of the 1988 NCAA tournament at 190 pounds, the two did meet. I wish that their match involved high drama as two true monsters locked horns, neither willing to concede an inch, but it did not. Coleman, simply put, tore Kerr apart, beating him by technical fall (wrestling's version of a mercy rule) 17-1. After dispatching Kerr, Coleman would move on to dominate the rest of his opponents at the tournament, rather easily claiming the 1988 NCAA title.
This result should not shock anyone. At the time of the match, Kerr, a college freshman in 1988, only had a win/loss record of 8-10. Frankly, I'm shocked that he qualified for the national tournament at all. Meanwhile, Coleman came into his final NCAA tournament in 1988 with a 45-2 record, and the top seed in the 190 pound weight class
It always fills me to see with sadness to see the word "Syracuse" next to Kerr's name on a bracket sheet. Of all the hundreds of dropped college wrestling programs throughout the nation, the loss of Syracuse University's team stings more than just about any other. The University had a storied wrestling program, a prestigious reputation and a location in a region very important to the sport.
Coleman spent time wrestling for a now defunct college wrestling program as well. Though he won his national championship for (The) Ohio State University, he only officially competed for one season at the Columbus, Ohio institution. For his first three years of college, Coleman wrestled for Miami University (the one in Oxford, Ohio, not to be confused with the University of Miami, a private school for rich kids from Long Island, in Florida). In 1986, his junior year at Miami, Coleman placed fourth at the NCAA Championships for his first All-American finish, then, for reasons I do not know, transferred to Ohio State to finish his college wrestling career.
In 1997, little more than a decade after their meeting in the NCAA tournament, both Kerr and Coleman would both fight on the same card in UFC 14.
5. Jake Rosholt vs. Phil Davis- 2006 NCAA Championship Finals
Jake Rosholt claims a 12-5 record in mixed martial arts, and a win over Chris Leben in the world's biggest promotion, the UFC, but I, more than anyone, am still shocked that he never turned out to be far better.
As a college wrestler, Rosholt had everything necessary for a smooth transfer to a highly successful prize fighting career. The Oklahoma State star wrestled with speed, strength and ferocity, but more than anything, he showed the magical ability to perform at his best when it mattered the most. In his four years wrestling varsity, Rosholt suffered 20 regular season losses, but only one at the NCAA tournament, which he won three times. When the bright lights shined at the National Championships, Rosholt became a different person, and wrestled like a man possessed.
Rosholt notably pinned current UFC Middleweight Champion Chris Weidman in the semifinals of the 2006 NCAA wrestling tournament at 197 pounds, but for ranking purposes, I am using this slot for Rosholt's next match, a 10-3 thrashing of UFC light heavyweight contender Phil Davis in the national finals.
I chose the match with Davis here because a championship match has greater meaning, I have video of it to show and the then dreadlocked Davis wore his Penn State singlet backwards. I am not making this up. In the biggest match of his career, on national television, Davis took the mat wearing his uniform the opposite side in front. 'Penn State' should have appeared on his chest, see below.
Join us next time for part VIII in this ranking of the 20 greatest wrestling matches between future MMA stars.

Around this time of year many universities will have been holding graduation ceremonies. And as the graduands approach the stage, it will have been noticeable that in some disciplines they were predominantly of one gender. Engineers and computer scientists will more often than not have been men, while nurses and teachers will have mainly been women. In some subjects – say, law – the gender gap is also widening, with women making up the majority. Is this an avoidable state of affairs, or something we just have to put up with?
Dr Gijsbert Stoet of the University of Glasgow suggests the latter. As reported in the Herald newspaper, he has argued that 'we probably need to give up on the idea that we will get many female engineers or male nurses', and that initiatives to bring about another outcome 'completely deny human biology and nature.' He also said that it should not matter to us whether the person who fixes our computers is a man or a woman. Rather, in a free society we should let people choose their professions without worrying about what that produces in terms of gender balance.
Of course historically there have been other implications. A profession dominated by women has tended to be an under-valued one, with lower pay and fewer opportunities for career development. In addition, such professional imbalances tend to perpetuate themselves as they restrict the availability of role models to persons of the other sex. Whether these patterns may change as women take hold increasingly of previously male-dominated careers such as law remains to be seen. Equally, as evidence grows of the disengagement of some boys from education more generally, we will need to see whether this produces new social problems.
The patterns of university education have a more profound impact on society than many other things. Nobody expects or requires the student population across all courses to be perfectly gender balanced, but it is unhealthy for gender stereotyping to be reinforced in higher education. There are no quick or easy solutions, but it would be a good start for us to recognise that we still have a problem, and that while the specific nature of the problem may change from profession to profession, it still needs to be addressed.

"We gave them everything they got with turnovers and miscommunication and not getting the puck out. It was shit," he added.
Just about sums it up perfectly.

Rocking the hips and doing the twist to raise money for education.
The Burlington Rotary Club hosted the 4th annual Hoopa-pa-looza Saturday at City Hall Park in Burlington. Teams compete in a talent contest by hula hooping for a 3 to 4 minute dance routine. Proceeds from the event go to the non-profit Puppets in Education, Burlington Rotary projects, and for building schools in Honduras. Contestants say it's a great event for everyone.
"Hula hooping is something you can get at and just do. Anybody can do it, you don't have to have a certain personality. You can just get at it and go and anyone can do it," says Clio Burns of The Hula Hooping Hamsters.
"It's about engaging the community in something trendy. Certainly hula hoops are coming back obviously they came out in the fifties and they're very popular throughout the decades. We wanted to bring something back for everyone to participate," says Joe Mcgowen, the Hoopapalooza organizer.
Organizers hoped to raise about $25,000 at Saturday's spin-off.

Burnley blog: Ticket push needs players' response
3:00pm Thursday 8th March 2012 in Suzanne Geldard's Burnley FC blog By Suzanne Geldard, Burnley FC reporter
TYPICAL isn't it? A club goes to great lengths to drum up a campaign to boost season ticket sales for the next season, and the team responds by giving fans who were on the verge of dipping into their pockets reason to reconsider.
It's more like a curse than a coincidence.
Such fate has befallen Burnley in the last two games, just as ticket prices have been announced and brochures have hit the doormats of existing, previous and potential holders.
Whatever you think about the prices, the way it has all been put together is certainly eye-catching.
'This Is Our Turf' is an impressive package.
A lot of thought and hard work has gone into the club's latest marketing strategy behind the scenes – and a touch of technology, with manager Eddie Howe and captain Chris McCann delivering rallying cries through the clever use of a QR code.
"You've been right behind us every week, and now we need you more than ever," is the stirring message from Howe.
It draws you in. It will all serve little purpose, though, if results aren't being delivered on the pitch. Because at the end of the day that's all that matters to supporters.
The Clarets defied good performances against Barnsley, at home, and Reading, away, when they returned to Turf Moor to face Millwall.
A feeble surrender to the Lions failed to whet the appetite of anyone looking ahead to next season. Similarly at Watford, where they threw away a two-goal lead, and presumably any last shred of hope of a play-off challenge.
They say you're only as good as your last game, and on that evidence there aren't many reasons for fans to part with their hard-earned cash, no matter how appealing "football from £13" sounds.
But for clubs like Burnley, season ticket sales are the lifeblood; the bar by which budgets for the season after are set. The more they sell, the more money the manager should have to improve the squad.
It's a Catch 22 situation.
If players want to improve, then they need to take as much responsibility as supporters, if not more.
You can have as many logos, slogans and sound-bites as you want. Actions speak louder than words.

NYT's Michael Shear: GOP Fight to Cut NPR a Mere 'Distraction' Over 'Trivial Amount of Money'
On Thursday the House voted 228-192 to end direct federal funding of NPR, but "Caucus" correspondent Michael Shear on Friday morning dismissed the move as a "distraction" in "NPR Vote One of Many Distractions to Come."
The vote by House Republicans Thursday to strip National Public Radio of much of its federal funding is an early example of the ways in which narrow issues are likely to repeatedly distract lawmakers during the upcoming 2012 election season.
Republicans have put more emphasis on spending cuts, while Democrats have put their focus on job creation, but leaders of both parties in both chambers of Congress have declared themselves committed to addressing the nation's biggest economic challenges: reducing the spiraling deficits and debt, bringing down unemployment, addressing the long-term health of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
And yet, the closer that Washington moves toward full-blown election season, the greater appetite both sides will have for small, symbolic issues that appeal to their base voters than the tougher action on big, thorny issues.
The NPR debate is a classic case.
The public radio organization gets a trivial amount of money from the federal government, about $5.4 million a year. Most of its $65 million budget comes from fees that local stations pay for its programming.
As if the Times would cover with any sense of balance the conservative approach to "big, thorny issues" like cutting the costs of Social Security.
Shear admitted that recent scandals had "called into question the organization's objectivity." Yet he quoted three NPR supporters, two Democratic congressmen and President Obama, versus only one Republican congressman in opposition. Shear treated the White House's partisan response as common sense:
....In an official statement of administration policy before the House vote, the White House made its position clear.
"Undercutting funding for these radio stations, notably ones in rural areas where such outlets are already scarce, would result in communities losing valuable programming, and some stations could be forced to shut down altogether," the statement said.
Which raises the question that several supporters of NPR raised Thursday during the bill's debate. Why spend time debating a measure that make no substantial dent in the nation's fiscal challenges?
The White House's "rural scarcity" argument may have made sense in the 1950s, but sounds retrograde in the age of near-ubiquitous cable television and the Internet.

This is about the constitutionality of government broadcasters using the police powers of said government to plunder (at gun point) a portion of the work product of Americans in order to subsidize the government's broadcasts.
Many Americans, myself included, do not believe that government, at any level, has this authority.

Not only is it about the constitution but also basic work ethics. You don't fix a problem by not doing anything. You start with the most vital problem that can be addressed at the time and continue working until you can address the critical issues that will solve the problem once and for all.
To not do anything is lazy - political.

Such a tired argument
Submitted by UltraC on Fri, 03/18/2011 - 1:32pm.I'm so tired of the argument that cutting the federal funds to NPR/PBS wouldn't make a substantial dent in the our massive deficit. It seems the proponents of taxpayer-subsidized liberally-biased radio and TV think that we won't get anywhere near a balanced budget unless we cut that one mythical program that's economically pushing us over the cliff, instead of making cuts across the board. Such people seem to have blinders to the big picture. A cut here, a cut there, and pretty soon you have made a significant dent in spending. I'm sorry if listeners to "(Almost) All Things Considered" are going to be put out if yanking taxpayer dollars results in the program being cancelled or no longer carried in their area, but never has it been explained to me why I must fund it if I don't listen to it. Yet haven't we heard how taxpayer funds are but a small slice of their funding? I'm sure they'll manage just fine. Even better, they'll be independent of a government that, depending on who's in charge in the White House of Congress, does not agree with the viewpoint of a majority of the employees and listeners.

NPR maintains that they own no radio stations, and that Federal funding is just a "miniscule" amount of their budget. Then they turn around and claim that cutting funding to NPR will cost some rural stations up to 25% of their funding.
Well, how can that be? Either NPR funds local stations or it doesn't.
In addition to NPR hiding behind rural stations, PBS hides behind Big Bird. ' Yet Sesame Street, with its huge merchandizing franchise, is a cash-cow for PBS. It will survive without Federal $$$.

The left just don't get it and the right is too, I don't know what, to admit it, getting rid of NPR is tantamount to chopping off one more of Medusa's ( Obama's ) nasty little snakes growing out of his head ( radical un American ideology ).
So far We the People have destroyed A.C.O.R.N., corrupt federal unions and are half way to slaying NPR. We still must track down and destroy hundreds more snake that Obama's buried,or hidden like IED's throughout this country.
There is the corrupt, racist Holder faction of our Justice Department, ObamaCare, dozens of covert operations run out of the Sebelius's HHS, who knows how many communist, probably criminal ( can't pass vetting process ) secret Czars running covert ops right out of the White House cellar, along with a list of job, human spirit, America and our very way of life killing secret, back room schemes between Obama, GE big sh_t, Jeff Imelt and that union crook extraordinaire Andy Stearn, again running their illegal operations right out of the West Wing of the White House.
Then there is the insideous quid pro quo queer as hell arangement between Barack the man and the left wing bomb throwers of the MSM. Again a clear breach of the office of president of the United States of America by a sitting president. I believe punishable by impeachment.
Hopefully the new Republican House can get their ( infighting ) act together soon enough to slay the rest of the snake tentacles this president has spread throughout our society, before it's too late.
His use of guerilla warfare, born out of his inner city community organizer days makes him much harder to stop than the usual election cycle, as his incessant use of hidden back room deals, middle of the night recess appointments, and executive order shenanigans, all against the votes in the Congress, as well as the will of the people ( real Americans ) makes our sitting, so called president ( well he's actually always either campaigning, partying or vacationing ) the the single most dangerous individual facing the citizens of the United States of the past 50 years.

Submitted by Rusty Shackleford on Fri, 03/18/2011 - 2:28pm.Here are the two reasons this is wrong: 1) This is a litmus test on whether or not a politician is serious about cutting spending. If they are unwilling to cut something that affects so few, then they certainly won't be willing to cut anything larger. Since the US needs to cut spending and cut spending ASAP, politicians like that must be expelled from congress ASAP. 2) My harddrive was loaded hundreds of GB of data and I decided I needed to reduce its size. I regained many GB of harddrive space by deleting thousands of small insignificant files. Not only that, but by searching around with these small files I encountered larger things I never would have noticed otherwise. For example, I found completely redundant copies of albums on MP3 filled with insignificant 8MB files.

Get used to it. BTW, this leftwing propagandist is using the same fraudulent technique used by leftists on the environmental/energy issues. On energy issues they claim well if we start drilling now, it will take ten years before anything good happens, so we can't do anything. So energy independence goes down the democrap black hole, because if something can't be done today on energy, then it's not worth doing. But with budget cutting, the democraps leave 80 percent or more of the federal budget as untouchable and then claim that doing anything about the remaining 20 percent is symbolic and won't accomplish much. It's enough to make one barf.

Physicians for Human RightsUsing science and medicine to stop human rights violations
For Immediate Release
PHR Asks to Refer Syrian Crisis to the International Criminal Court
Media Contact
Vesna Jaksic Lowe, MS
New York, NY - 06/03/2013
Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) is calling on the United Nations Security Council to refer the escalating Syrian conflict to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in order to hold perpetrators of war crimes and crimes against humanity accountable.
PHR is supporting House Resolution 229, a bipartisan bill co- sponsored by Rep. Steve Israel (D-NY) and Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK), which calls on the court's prosecutor to investigate the situation in Syria and charge those responsible for the crimes.
"The magnitude and nature of the atrocities taking place in Syria demand an investigation by the International Criminal Court," said Hans Hogrefe, PHR's chief policy officer and Washington director. "Referring the escalating conflict in Syria to the ICC is a crucial step for ensuring those responsible for heinous human rights violations are brought to justice, so that these kinds of attacks do not go unpunished. It sends an unequivocal message from the international community that the bloodshed in Syria must stop."
The Syrian conflict has led to an estimated 70,000 deaths, about 2.5 million people being displaced, and countless others being subjected to sexual violence and torture. PHR has documented attacks on the medical community in Syria, including torture and killings of health care providers and deliberate obstruction of necessary medical treatment.
The ICC is a permanent court designed to try perpetrators of the world's worst crimes when national governments are unwilling or unable to do so. Syria is not a member of the ICC and therefore a referral by the UN Security Council is necessary for the Court to have jurisdiction over the situation.
Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) is an independent organization that uses medicine and science to stop mass atrocities and severe human rights violations. We are supported by the expertise and passion of health professionals and concerned citizens alike.
Since 1986, PHR has conducted investigations in more than 40 countries around the world, including Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Sudan, the United States, the former Yugoslavia, and Zimbabwe.

JAMES POLSON: That's a big win for Manly who are now into third on the ladder, ahead of Melbourne on for-and-against after the two sides fought out a draw this year. Still some concerning signs for Geoff Toovey's men, notably minor injuries to Steve Matai and Daly Cherry-Evans but more immediately pressing was the way they let the Tigers back into the match - not what you want as September looms on the horizon. Jamie Lyon was stellar again and I'll plump for the centre as man of the match. The Sea Eagles have a fairly tough run home after this week - they travel to Parramatta to face the Eels on Friday but after that it's the Warriors and Souths in successive weeks, both in Gosford, and they also face Melbourne again before the finals. Phil Mitchell will be in the blog seat for the Eels clash on Saturday night and to kick off round 21 we'll have Penrith hosting the Roosters. Until then, log on to smh.com.au or grab a copy of tomorrow's Herald for all the wash-up from tonight's clash. Thanks for your company.
Manly 36 Tigers 18.
80 min: Jorge Taufua puts a foot into touch and that'll be it from Manly tonight.
80 min: Manly looking for a seventh try in the dying stages.
78 min: Daly Cherry-Evans grubbers for Lyon but Chris Lawrence dives on it and the Tigers are back with the pill.
77 min: Another Tigers error sees Manly with a set in good position.
76 min: Matt Ballin kicks early but it rolls into touch. Tigers with the feed on their own 10m line.
76 min: The Tigers try the short kick-off again but no such luck this time. Manly on the second tackle 40m out from their own line.
Jamie Lyon adds another and Manly lead by 18, 36-18.
74 min: Daly Cherry-Evans, who's been injured most of the night, has crossed and that's the ball game. He shows it before running for the corner and scoring under the posts. Manly 34 Tigers 18, kick to come.
73 min: Another penalty, this time to the Sea Eagles, once again as the Tigers threatened.
72 min: Tigers are 40m out on the second tackle.
71m: Glenn Stewart penalised for holding on.
71 m: Kieran Foran kicks on the last but there's too much on it again and the Tigers are back on the 20m for the restart.
70 min: Lyon slots another and Manly lead 30-18.
69 min: Tigers inside the 10 and Jamie Lyon will look to stretch the lead back to two converted tries.
68 min: Jamie Buhrer makes the bust for Manly but he's tackled by James Tedesco 20m out. If he got the offload away it was almost a certain try again for the visitors.
68 min: The Tigers going nowhere fast in this set and the Eagles immediately shift wide after fielding Farah's kick.
67 min: Tigers on the first tackle 20m out from their own line.
66 min: Still Manly 28 Tigers 18.
JAMES POLSON: Chooks asked a few minutes ago whether I can see Manly going all the way this year:
It's hard to say. They've certainly got the side to do it but the way they can let sides back into matches is a concern - they've done it again tonight and they did in the 2011 grand final as well. On their day they can beat anyone but the Roosters are the big concern at my end. Let's hope they don't meet until the big one...
62 min: Robbie Farah taken into touch on the third tackle and Manly get the chance to settle themselves with a scrum.
62 min: Simona finds himself in space again.
Marshall's kick hits the upright before bouncing over. Manly 28 Tigers 18.
59 min: The Tigers are in again and this might just be a game. Chris Lawrence gets the ball out to Tim Simona who charges for the corner and scores. Again set up by Curtis Sironen who has made an immediate impact since coming on. Manly 28 Tigers 16, a Benji Marshall kick to come.
59 min: The Tigers looked threatening again across the park and Manly were in all sorts of trouble. Brett Stewart found himself on the wing and the Tigers looked to have the overlap but Marshall grubbers and Stewart is able to send it dead. Another line drop-out.
For the Tigers Curtis Sironen is out there at halfback. Probably for the best after Anasta's efforts thus far.
Steve Matai unlikely to be back with bruising on the hip. Nothing serious but it looks like the centre's night is over.
Conversion successful. Manly 28 Tigers 12.
55 min: The Tigers get a repeat set and Robbie Farah goes from dummy-half to score on the first in his 200th match. Manly 28 Tigers 10, kick to come.
54 min: The Tigers go the short kick-off and it's come off for the home side.
54 min: Jamie Lyon slots another one from the sideline. Manly 28 Tigers 6.
53 min: Try awarded. Manly 26 Tigers 6, kick to come.
We're still seeing if Horo gets this down without going into touch.
53 min: TRY. Jorge Taufua has been absolutely cleaned up in fielding Kieran Foran's kick but it goes backwards and Justin Horo darts over to score. That should be his second but it's up to the video ref.
52 min: David Williams is over the line on the fourth tackle but he's been held up.
Poll: Will the Tigers score again?
- Yes
- No
Total votes: 43.
You will need Cookies enabled to use our Voting Feature.
These polls are not scientific and reflect the opinion only of visitors who have chosen to participate.
49 min: Lyon converts his own try. Manly 22 Tigers 6.
JAMES POLSON: That's another 12-point turnaround. Braith Anasta spills an easy ball when the Tigers were looking very dangerous. If Manly get the rub of the green in the dying stages this could be very ugly - they've scored at will in the last 20 minutes throughout this season.
48 min: Try awarded. Manly 20, Tigers 6, kick to come.
47 min: Another penalty and it's the Tigers on the attack before they spill it and David Williams runs away with it. Eventually the ball finds its way to Jamie Lyon and he crosses for his second. As usual, we're going upstairs, but it's hard to see anything wrong with this one.
Try time: Steve Matai races away to score Manly's second try during the first half. Photo: Brendan Esposito
46 min: And the Eagles force the dropout again.
46 min: Manly are in striking distance again off the back of another penalty.
44 min: And once again the Tigers have squandered it again. Oh, to be a fly on the wall in Mick Potter's box.
43 min: And the Tigers have won a scrum against the feed. Unbelievable. And now they get a penalty in sensational field position.
43 min: And just like that the Tigers turn it over again.
42 min: The Tigers get an early penalty.
41 min: Braith Anasta gets us under way for the second half for Jamie Buhrer to take the first hit-up. Manly lead 16-6.
The teams are back on the park for the second half.
BRAD WALTER: Not even the try of the year so far is enough to give Wests Tigers fans cause for hope against Manly after a spectacular 40 minutes of football at Campbelltown Stadium.
JAMES POLSON: That's a stellar opening 40 minutes from Manly. The Tigers had the lions' share of the ball and were only able to cross once, while Manly scored three tries despite only being tackled 10 times in the opposition's 20m. Geoff Toovey will be very happy with his side's defence, and perhaps ominously for the Tigers it's been an uncharacteristically quiet night so far from the likes of David Williams, Daly Cherry-Evans and Jorge Taufua. The Tigers will be doubtless ruing any number of missed opportunities and, while the game is far from over, it's hard to see them getting such a good run of things after the break. We'll be back in a few minutes with the half-time assessment from Fairfax Media's man on the ground, Brad Walter. Back soon.
Manly lead the Tigers 16-6 at the break.
40 min: Daly Cherry-Evans almost finds his way through the defensive line before Jamie Lyon's kick is too big. If Cherry-Evans got the ball away to Williams there it was a certain try.
39 min: And the Eagles force another line drop-out which will just about do us for the first half.
38 min: Jamie Lyon plays it five metres out with two tackles left.
37 min: And Manly are about to receive their first line drop-out of the match. Hard to believe but true.
37 min: Almost a line break from George Rose there. Does it get any better?
Changeover. Jorge Taufua appears to lose the ball but it's ruled a strip and the penalty goes to the Sea Eagles.
And it isn't. Galloway to play the ball on the last, still another shot for the Tigers.
Difficult to see the on-field 'no try' call being overruled.
35 min: Keith Galloway charges for the line but he's caught short for mine. Surprise, surprise, we're going to the video ref.
34 min: And the Tigers force another line drop-out.
33 min: Penalty goes the way of the Tigers.
33 min: Foran kicks early but it's easily fielded by James Tedesco.
32 min: Lyon makes no mistake converting his own try and that's just about a 12-point turnaround. Manly 16 Tigers 6.
30 min: They say every action has an equal and opposite reaction and now Jamie Lyon counters down the left flank and runs almost the length of the field to score. Plenty of luck there as a pass to Simona comes off the winger's foot and Lyon takes the ricochet on the full and puts the pedal to the metal. Manly 14, Tigers 6, kick to come.
29 min: And just like that the Tigers are on the attack. Tim Simona gets on to Foran's kick and runs away before finally being tackled about 20m out from the Sea Eagles' line. They've given away a penalty as well so the Tigers have a full set in striking distance.
28 min: Glenn Stewart just metres out on the third tackle.
27 min: Tigers penalised for being inside the 10m.
27 min: Benji Marshall opts against going to the corner this time and the later grubber rolls over the dead-ball line.
26 min: Braith Anasta comes up with the old pass to noone trick and the Tigers are going backwards on the fourth.
25 min: Another chance for the Tigers with Brett Stewart taken in goal.
24 min: Change for Manly with Jamie Buhrer, who takes the drop-out, on for Brent Kite.
24 min: David Williams does well to clean up at the back. No try but it'll be a line drop-out for the Sea Eagles.
23 min: Six again for the Tigers.
23 min: Matai penalised for a late shot. Tigers will resume from about 12m out.
21 min: Penalty goes to the Tigers after James Tedesco is absolutely cleaned up by Kieran Foran chasing the high ball. Perhaps sometimes it is OK to momentarily take your eye of the ball...
17 min: Jamie Lyon puts this one across the face of goal and the score remains 10-6.
16 min: TRY. Not to be outdone, Steve Matai gets onto an offload from Foran before Matai steps and weaves his way to the line from 30m out. Manly 10 Tigers 6, kick to come.
15 min: Manly get the penalty for holding on this time.
13 min: Brenton Lawrence ruled to have knocked on trying to force an offload. Fair call too.
11 min: And just to rub it in for the Sea Eagles, and next year's Tigers outfit for that matter, Marshall lands the conversion from the sideline. 6-6.
10 min: Even a Manly fan is saying that's one of the best tries I've ever seen. Benji Marshall goes high to the corner and David Nofoaluma leaps high, grounds it basically with his head perpendicular to the ground. Get me a flute because that's champagne stuff right there. We've gone upstairs but there's nothing at all wrong with that. Give him eight points, I say. Manly 6, Tigers 4, kick to come.
10 min: Blake Ayshford spills it for the Tigers before Jorge Taufua replies in kind and the Tigers are just 10m out.
9 min: Penalty to the Tigers, Kieran Foran goes on with things too long in tackling Liam Fulton.
And he does. Manly 6 Tigers 0.
6 min: Try awarded. Manly 4 Tigers 0, kick to come. Mark my words, it will be six. Jamie Lyon right in front.
6 min: Justin Horo looks to have scored the opener for Manly. Kieran Foran kicks with the outside of his foot to put Horo through and this one will be a try.
He's back in action though so perhaps not too serious after all.
6 min: Daly Cherry-Evans appears to be limping and that's not good news for the Sea Eagles.
Looks like one Tigers fan's attention is elsewhere tonight:
Shows how good the Tigers season is going when I'm more excited about the start of Big Brother than I am their game tonight. #NRLwstman— Aaron Jolley (@JolleyAz) July 29, 2013
And that's the way they've ruled it. No try and a handover.
The ball may have rolled over Tedesco's feet meaning Thompson would have been in front of the kicker. Glad it's not up to me...
4 min: A comedy of errors so far at Campbelltown here and Bodene Thompson may well have scored. Going upstairs for a look. It all comes from Manly allowing a bomb to bounce before James Tedesco knocks it back and the ball somehow ends up in the in-goal for Thompson to ground it. I've got nothing.
3 min: Manly threaten and I'm not quite sure how that all went down. The upshot is Daly Cherry-Evans appear to have spilled it and now the Tigers are back on the half-way line.
And Robbie Farah knocks on with his first touch on the second tackle. Credit to Anthony Watmough as well, who charges out of the line to force the error.
1 min: Steve Matai kicks off and it goes dead. Great chance early for the Tigers.
A minute's silence for the great coach Graham Murray, who coached the Balmain reserves in 1988 and 1989 before going on to a glittering career in the top grade. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
And here come the Tigers. Just quietly, how good is that version of Eye of the Tiger where they manage to replace three syllables with just an awkward 'Wests'. Champagne rugby league, that.
Jamie Lyon is leading the Manly side down the tunnel to a less-than-warm reception.
And just the one change for the visitors - James Hasson is replaced by David Gower.
Tigers team news: Big Keith Galloway is back on the bench, taking the place of Shaun Spence. Braith Anasta moves to halfback replacing Curtis Sironen.
JAMES POLSON: Good evening and welcome to Campbelltown Stadium for the final match of round 20. It's the Fibros and Silvertails all over again as the Sea Eagles head west to face the Tigers for the first time in the joint-venture's history, believe it or not. Could that unpredictability be enough to see another Monday upset? Regular blog readers will know that, personally, I hope they don't. Manly can go third with a win tonight, while the Tigers have little to play for but pride. Back in a few minutes with any team news.
Campbelltown Stadium, Monday 7pm (AEST)
Last meeting: Round 4 2013 - Sea Eagles 26 bt Tigers 0 at Bluetongue Stadium
Head-to-head: Tigers 7 Sea Eagles 11
Referees: Adam Devcich, Gavin Reynolds

TAB: Tigers $5.00 Sea Eagles $1.18 Draw $34
FootyTab: Tigers +12.5
Phil Mitchell writes: Benji Marshall's round of farewells to the Tigers' various home grounds continues on Monday night when he plays his final game at Campbelltown Stadium. The Tigers are in the same boat as the Broncos and Cowboys – they need the two points to stay in the finals race. A loss would leave the Tigers needing to win all of their remaining games – two of which are against Souths and the Roosters. A task beyond them. In his farewell to Leichhardt Oval last week, Marshall had a mixed game against the Warriors. He will need to be on his game for the entirety on Monday night for the Tigers to stand a chance against a Manly side chasing a fourth consecutive win for the first time this season.
Phil's tip: Sea Eagles by 12.
AAP writes: After a mid-season slump, the Sea Eagles have rediscovered their mojo to string together three wins to cement a place in the top four approaching the finals. The Tigers have been the disappointments of the season and are clinging to the mathematical possibility of making the playoffs. Still, they could be inspired by skipper Robbie Farah's 200th first grade game, Liam Fulton's 150th or Benji Marshall's farewell appearance at Campbelltown, where the Sea Eagles haven't played in 15 years.
Key: Manly's resurgence has coincided with Brett Stewart's return from a knee injury and the Tigers, not regarded for their defence, must keep the prolific fullback in check to have any hope.
TIGERS: James Tedesco, David Nofoaluma, Blake Ayshford, Chris Lawrence, Tim Simona, Benji Marshall, Curtis Sironen, Jack Buchanan, Robbie Farah (capt), Adam Blair, Liam Fulton, Bodene Thompson, Sauaso Sue. Interchange: Ava Seumanufagai, Shaun Spence, Ben Murdoch-Masila, Braith Anasta
SEA EAGLES: Brett Stewart, Jorge Taufua, Jamie Lyon (capt), Steve Matai, David Williams, Kieran Foran, Daly Cherry-Evans, Brenton Lawrence, Matt Ballin, Brent Kite, Anthony Watmough, Justin Horo, Glenn Stewart. Interchange: Richie Fa'aoso, Jamie Buhrer, James Hasson, George Rose, David Gower (one to be omitted).

text: I am a Brock Lesnar fan from is WWE days, so I remember the 320 pound Lesnar that was faster and stronger than any other WWE superstar ever. Now I know your gonna say he was roided up and whatever else but they all did it or still do it and so do MMA fighters. When Brock retired from WWE he tried out for the NFL. If you compare his NFL camp stats to that of Shane Carwins. Brock was faster stronger and could jump higher. And he was 300 lbs. So if he is faster stronger and more agile than any other heavyweight in the UFC at 300 + pounds why does he have to cut weight? 265? Thats 35+ pounds he has to cut. It's no wonder his stomach gave out on him . Like the Cain fight for example. If Brock could have came in at 300+ no one is stopping his takedowns or taking his hits. It's common sense that when you lose that much weight ok become very weak. Anyone with half a brain could realize that. They need to up the weight limit or make a super heavyweight division . Brock Lesnar shouldn't fight anymore at this skinny weight and not be his real self. And this once again is coming from the biggest Lesnar fan out there.

A mere day after Dontavia Bogan tweeted that he had his knee medically cleared to return to action, the 49ers have quickly released him. Bogan was signed as an undrafted rookie free agent last July before blowing out his knee the first week of training camp.
Bogan was already facing a long road back towards a roster spot given the ACL injury he suffered and the number of receivers ahead of him on the depth chart. He'll likely score a training camp invite elsewhere and get a chance to show what he can do. He was quickly turning into one of those guys I'm a fan of for no real rational reason. Sort of my 2012 Jay Moore, or the Kory Sheets or Thomas Clayton for many folks.
The 49ers wide receiver position has some question marks, but they have loaded it up with a lot of bodies to compete. And one would imagine the team will add at least one more in the draft and another one or two rookie free agents to provide some additional camp bodies. Whether that means first or second round talent remains to be seen. Whatever the case, I'll continue my "Marvin Jones to the 49ers" campaign!

Trade Rumors involving: Roberto Luongo, Jonathan Bernier and the Phoenix Coyotes
- Updated: January 14, 2013
- Ben Kuzma via twitter: Canucks GM Mike Gillis on Roberto Luongo trade rumors: "I haven't talked to anybody about taking a portion of his contract. Everything is on the table."
- The Fourth Period: Several teams have contacted the Canucks about Luongo over the weekend. Other than the Maple Leafs, it's unknown at this time which other teams have held talks. The Oilers, Flyers, Panthers and Blackhawks have expressed some interest in the past. The Canucks are looking to get a 2nd line center or top forward prospect and a top 4 defenseman in a package. From the Maple Leafs, the Canucks may be after a package including Tyler Bozak, Carl Gunnarsson and Nazem Kadi. Gillis may be looking to find a 2nd line center in a deal not involving Luongo as well.
- Dan Murphy of Sportsnet: GM Mike Gillis has said there have been "lots of discussions" regarding Luongo.
"There's been a lot more interest in Roberto than people wanted to recognize because (they thought) the contract was onerous or difficult," Gillis said. "That has never been mentioned to me by one team. I know some people like to make a big deal of that but it's a very friendly contract for a lot of reasons.
"That's one of the reasons why in the new collective agreement there are penalties and you can't sign these types of contracts because they are favourable. So contract is not an issue."
"I haven't talked to anyone about keeping a portion of his contract. Is that off the table? No, I mean everything is on the table when you talk about those things. There are concepts you can discuss. But Roberto is an all-star goaltender and I don't feel compelled or see any reason why we would go down that path with a player of this calibre."
Maple Leafs GM Dave Nonis:
"No. We don't need to make a move. No. We don't. The one thing — you hear the buzz over the last 48 hours — is that there is going to be a change in goal. There's only going to be a change in goal if we can upgrade at that position without severely hampering the ability to play in front of that goaltender, and without taking away very good young players from our reserve list. If we can add a veteran, if we can add a goaltender to help these guys along, we think that would be helpful. But if we can't, then it's up to our whole group to play in front of them and to put wins on the board."
- The Fourth Period: The Kings could be trading goaltender Jonathan Bernier sooner than later. Bernier is in the last year of his deal that will pay him a pro-rated $1.525 million, with a $1.25 million salary cap hit. The Devils are one team that has believed to have shown some interest in Bernier. The Kings could be looking help on the blueline.
- Sarah McLellan via twitter: It's not a secret that the Coyotes need offensive help, especially at center. If a core piece like Keith Yandle is going to be sacrificed, it would merit a big return.

JACKSON, MS -- Mississippi's state legislature is participating in a program called "Fit for Change" created by former NFL football player, Paul Lacoste.
This is the first year this type of training has taken place and over 140 State Senators, Representatives, and capitol staff members have chosen to participate.
"And in 21 workouts they've lost a total of 469 pounds that's truly remarkable and the numbers are only going to get bigger," Paul Lacoste said.
Lacoste says he and some colleagues have been trying to get this program started for five years, and he's hoping to create a whole movement in Mississippi.
"We're educating them not only in the training side, but also the nutritional side of what we do."
As for those participating, they say they've noticed a difference in the way they do business at the capitol.
"I notice a big difference, we have a different attitude, a different feel about things. We get along. We're getting to know each other on a different level," said Sen. Terry Burton of Newton, MS.
Representative Brandon Jones of Pascagoula agreed.
"I think it's really helped to focus our work here at the capitol. You get started really early. You get to spend time doing things away from the capitol working together as a unit," Jones said.
Jones was awarded this week's overall winner and was awarded $500 to donate to Pascagoula High School.
Members have another eight weeks to go, and at the end of their training, they're running a 5K race starting and ending at the capitol.

Three local quarterbacks came close to state records, highlighting Week Four of the high school football season.
Westminster's Duke Etchison and Aberdeen's Lavell McCullers each threw six touchdown passes – one shy of the state record held by four players, including last year's Owls quarterback Deryk Kern.
Chesapeake-AA's Rashwan Shields threw for 439 yards, not far off the record of 475 set by Arundel's Billy Cosh in 2008.
Lots of other numbers stood out in this weekend's action. Here's a look at some of them:
Interceptions by Perry Hall's Courtney Johnson in a 21-7 upset of Franklin
Blocked kicks – a punt and a field goal – by Long Reach in its 15-14 win over Atholton
Touchdown passes of about 30 yards each -- in less than a minute -- from Dunbar's William Crest to Jerrell Jenkins in a 42-6 win over Patterson
Touchdown runs by quarterback Zach Abey in Archbishop Spalding's 21-10 win over Loyola
Howard interceptions in a 35-13 win over Mount Hebron
Mark Velasquez touchdown runs to lead St. Frances to a 32-20 win over Calvert Hall
Big plays by River Hill's Cory Daniel – two rushing touchdowns, a blocked punt and an interception – in the 42-7 win over Centennial
Touchdown passes by Westminster's Duke Etchison, who threw for 354 yards in a 45-7 win over Manchester Valley

90% of the people on this board said the bucs would win today.
The good news is that Buffalo has a horrible OL. Hopefully our DEs can have a solid game and get some confidence.
Their offensive line is actually looking pretty good.
FRG is the most logical poster on this board. You guys just don\'t like where the logical conclusions take you.

Instead of getting caught up, take a few minutes to reconnect and get centered; it will keep you sane through the height of the season. Even if you only have 15 minutes to spare, moving through this yoga sequence will help you keep calm and carry on. Photo: Jenny Sugar Downward Facing Dog What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Downward Facing Dog sets a strong tone for the sequence: Begin on your hands and knees. Your wrists should be underneath your shoulders, and your knees should be underneath your hips. Inhale as you tuck your toes under your heels. Then exhale to lift your hips, coming into an upside-down V shape called Downward Facing Dog. Spread your fingers wide, and create a straight line between your middle fingers and elbows. Work on straightening your legs and lowering your heels toward the ground. Relax your head between your arms, and direct your gaze through your legs or up toward your belly button. Hold for five breaths. Not sure you're doing it correctly? Here's what not to do in Downward Facing Dog. Photo: Jenny Sugar 1 / 9 Standing Forward Bend What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Fall in love with Standing Forward Bend. This trusty pose helps you let go of any stress that's weighing on you: From Downward Facing Dog, hop or step to the top of your mat. On an inhale, gaze slightly forward, and on your exhale, engage your abs, and fold in toward your shins. Tuck your chin in toward your chest, relax your shoulders, and extend the crown of the head toward the floor to create a long spine. Shift your weight forward onto your toes, straightening the legs as much as possible. Place your hands on the ground, fingertips lining up with the toes. Hold here for five breaths. Here's a deeper explanation of Standing Forward Bend. Photo: Jenny Sugar 2 / 9 Warrior 1 Pose What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Get grounded on your mat in Warrior 1 Pose: After Standing Forward Bend, step back to Downward Facing Dog. Step your right foot forward between your hands. Turn your left heel in, press into your feet, and lift your torso up. Lift your arms up, and press your palms together. Draw your shoulder blades down toward your hips, and gaze up at your hands. Stay here for five breaths. Then come back to Downward Facing Dog, step your left foot forward, and do Warrior 1 on the other side. Learn more about correct hip alignment when doing Warrior 1. Photo: Jenny Sugar 3 / 9 Warrior 2 Pose What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Use your strong warrior legs to stretch out your body and calm your mind: From Warrior 1, extend your arms out in T position as you rotate your torso to the right, coming into Warrior 2. Ideally your front thigh should be parallel to the ground and your left knee directly over your left ankle. Make sure your shoulders are stacked directly above your pelvis. Gaze past your right fingertips, holding for five breaths. Then return to Downward Facing Dog. Step your left foot forward and do this pose on the other side. Here are more tips on how to do Warrior 2. Photo: Jenny Sugar 4 / 9 Warrior 3 Pose What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bring some heat to your core with Warrior 3: Come back for a brief Warrior 1, keeping your right knee forward. Lower your torso and lift your left leg, bringing your body parallel with the ground. Extend your hands out in front of you, pressing your palms together firmly. If it bothers your shoulders to press your hands together, then separate your arms so they're shoulder-width apart. If extending your arms creates pain or pressure in your lower back, then rest your hands on your hips. Engage your abs, holding this position for five deep breaths. Then lower your left leg, returning to Warrior 1. Release your hands to the mat and come into Downward Dog. Step your left leg forward, coming into Warrior 1. Repeat Warrior 3 on the left side. Check out these details on Warrior 3 Pose. Photo: Jenny Sugar 6 / 9 Half Moon Pose What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Move into a Half Moon Pose to take the edge off, and give your side body some love: From Warrior 3, place your floating leg down, and come into Warrior 1. Open your hips, arms, and chest into Warrior 2. Place your left hand on your left hip, and stretch your right arm straight out, creating length through the right side of your body. Shift weight onto your right foot and lift your left foot up. Plant your right palm flat on the ground under your shoulder. Distribute your weight evenly between your right hand and foot. Lift your left arm up, and gaze toward your left hand. Hold for five breaths and then release the pose, coming into Downward Dog. Then try Half Moon on the left side. Find more details on this balancing pose here. Photo: Jenny Sugar 6 / 9 Pigeon Pose What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Pigeon Pose will help open up tight hips: From Downward Facing Dog, step both feet together and bring your right knee forward between your hands so your outer right leg is resting on the mat. If your hips are more open, inch your right foot away from you. Make sure your left hip is always pointing down toward the mat. Stay here with your hands resting on your hips or your right leg, or walk your hands out in front of you, allowing your torso to rest over your right knee. Hold here, breathing into any areas of tightness and tension for at least five breaths. Then place your hands on the mat in front of you, tuck your left toes, and step your right foot back in Downward Dog. Repeat Pigeon on the left side. If you can't seem to calm down in Pigeon Pose, follow these tips for help. Photo: Jenny Sugar 7 / 9 Wheel Pose What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If Wheel isn't part of your practice, then feel free to try Bridge Pose: After Pigeon Pose, move through a vinyasa (Four-Limbed Staff to Up Dog to Down Dog). From Downward Facing Dog, bring your knees down to the floor, and come to lie down on your back. Bend your knees, and place your feet flat on the ground (heels as close as possible to your bum). Bend your elbows, and place your palms flat on the ground above your shoulders, fingertips facing your feet. Inhale, press into your palms, and lift your head, shoulders, and hips off the mat, straightening your arms and legs. Try to walk your hands and feet a little closer together. Stay here for five deep breaths, and then slowly lower your body down. Eventually you want to do this pose for a total of three times. Hug your knees into your chest to release your lower back. Here's what not to do in Wheel Pose. Photo: Jenny Sugar 8 / 9 Savasana What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Take Savasana before you take on the day: Lie on your back, and close your eyes. In order to relax and open your body fully, extend your arms a few inches away from the body, with the palms facing up. Put about 15 to 20 inches between your heels, allowing your feet to fall open with the toes pointing out. Actively shrug your shoulder blades down toward your hips. Lengthen through the spine as much as possible, relaxing your lower back toward the floor. After you've found a comfortable position, stay here for as long as you want, around 10 minutes or more, if your schedule allows for it. If you're short on time, remain in Savasana at least until your heart rate slows down and your breath returns to its natural, soothing rhythm. Having trouble relaxing? Here are four tips for sinking into Corpse Pose.
