The Mind Body Studio's instructors believe that physical and mental balance can be achieved at varying speeds. From the slow, deliberate poses of hot yoga to the lively, energized dance steps of Zumba, their fitness programs forge an increased connectivity between muscles and minds. The certified instructors correct students' Pilates positioning aboard mats and Reformers, and Active Isolated Stretching sessions help them ease tension in connective tissues. The group and private classes accommodate guests of all skill levels.
The Root Yoga practices an inclusionary brand of yoga that welcomes newcomers and experienced yogis alike. Its team of instructors leads lessons in many different styles, teaching participants to focus on breathing and flow through varied poses.
We combine the aerobic and muscle-building components of Zumba® with the breathing, flexibility, and meditation components of yoga will help provide a holistic healthy lifestyle.
Established in 1886, the YMCA of El Paso today offers pools and fitness facilities alongside a wealth of programs, including swimming lessons, sports leagues, and group exercise classes. Adult and youth swim lessons ($20+) enhance aquatic skills, leaving participants better equipped for a future in which all business deals are transacted in wave pools. Youth can throw, kick, punt, and bounce a variety of balls in the many sports leagues available or scuff up gym floors during ballroom-dancing or hip-hop classes. Family activities such as roller-skating and yoga instill a sense of familial togetherness without the groaning and complaints of bonding events such as family tax filing or family gutter cleaning.
After spending years immersed in the fitness and athletic industries, Ernesto McLaurin and Kim Brutzman had grown weary of the monotonous exercise equipment found in large corporate gyms. On their search for a more substantial form of fitness free from bulky machines, the two trainers fell in love with the CrossFit program's high-energy, functional-movement-based workout routines, eventually joining forces to form CrossFit El Paso in 2006. They stuff their Eastside and Westside locations with simple resistance-training equipment, free weights, and kettlebells, conducting CrossFit classes throughout the week with the help of certified instructors. In addition to leading rigorous CrossFit workouts, they provide students with nutritional guidance and host regular health seminars. They also offer a FemmeFit class, where women and male comedians in convincing makeup can practice CrossFit workouts specifically designed for the female body.
With machines set up in rows to encourage competition, many ordinary gyms cater to men's bodies and psychology, right down to the urinals "accidentally" installed in the women's locker room. At Curves, you'll move around a circuit of hydraulic resistance machines and workouts designed to work with women's bodies and promote weight loss, protect against osteoporosis, and deal with arthritis. An experienced trainer is always nearby to help manage your machine maneuvering and your muscle making. Instead of fiddling with weight stacks and losing your momentum, the hydraulic machines use your body weight and fitness level to create resistance that matches your abilities, decreasing the risk of soreness or injury. Because traditional lift-and-lower motions create bulky muscles, each machine uses push-and-pull motions to create toned, lean muscles perfect for crushing a grapefruit without looking like you can.

I began searching for a new car about a month before I decided to get rid of the MINI Cooper.
The original plan was to keep my old MINI at least for another year — to sell or trade in my 2005 in 2015 and get a perfect 10 years out of the automobile. Then no one could argue that I didn't need — no, deserve — a new car.
I even told the guy at...

Unexpected Danger
by Nita Holstine
Spend just a little extra time to save a lot of money. No one ever thinks about tending the clothes dryer; at least not until the dryer takes forever to dry a load of clothes. Most new dryers have a handy easy to clean filter that is in the front and center where you clean it out with every use.
Cleaning a lint catcher is a simple chore but what about the other end of the vent hose; you know, the outside end that probably puts out that warm humid air full of lint under the house. I had never thought this could be a problem until my youngest daughter had a house fire that nearly cost them their lives. Instead, it cost most of their possessions. It took a fire inspector to tell them afterwards that the fire started from lint build up at the end of the vent tube. It had probably built up over a period of many years but after use that one evening had created enough heat to start a fire during the night.
Now, when the dryer isn't drying clothes as fast as it should, think to check the outside end. Mine is under the house and fairly easy to reach. I had worried that critters could crawl up and into the house and had devised a screen covering. That just made the lint build up really fast. Make sure the opening stays clear and your dryer use will be minimized and that's a lot of money to save and you will have the peace of mind that there is no fire smoldering below your home just waiting for you to sleep.

Publishers Weekly
In five wonderfully chilling short stories, Noyes (Red Butterfly; Gothic!) pays homage to Edith Wharton's ghost story "Kerfol," about the wealthy Anne de Barrigan-terrorized by a husband who murders her dogs and then is himself murdered by their ghosts. The first entry retells the story from the point of view of the chambermaid Perrette; the following stories march forward chronologically from the original's 17th-century setting but remain at the Kerfol chateau. In suspenseful prose that evolves from Perrette's antique speech ("I kept close by [Milady], especially when the moon swelled and paw prints dotted the mud round the moat come morning") to a contemporary perspective, Noyes follows four more unsuspecting and vulnerable victims as they enter Kerfol, now filthy with neglect, where their thoughts are overtaken by the voices and visions of those long dead. Ghost dogs appear from nowhere; the evil, twisted Yves de Cornault inspires terror from the grave; and the still beautiful spirit of Anne haunts the estate. Readers will be eager to know how next this house and its ghosts wreak havoc-and even death-on those unlucky enough to darken its doorstep. Ages 14-up.

Marketing is a function where most people have deadend jobs. There is literally no career path for Marketing within Microsoft - people keep switching between same level jobs to the point that they literally unemployable anywhere else. As a whole, marketing in any technology company is seen as a support function and all you are doing in Microsoft is changing a few brochures here or there or organizing exhibition booths - there are no budgets, no energy, no creativity, no branding, no respect, no sales/profit responsibility and little or no data. Whatever little marketing Microsoft does happens in Redmond - Marketing Managers in regional offices will be lucky if they did more marketing than Marketing Assistants in their previous companies.
Marketing titles are misleading and highly inflated. A Marketing Manager in Microsoft is literally a graduate level job. Once you are done with Microsoft, you have learnt nothing new to help you move into a different sector and there are very few technology companies who hire Marketing people. If you look up profiles of past Marketing Managers on Linked In, you will get a good sense of what I am talking about.
Other issues are:
- No career progression in Marketing
- Too much politics
- Little diversity
- Too much red-tape
- Very hard to move between roles

Very Fashionable Gym Piece I purchased these for my daughter (she just turned 20) since she is going to be a full time personal trainer soon and figured she should look cute in the gym during her own training or with clients. If she's running between work and school these are perfect since it is still fashion forward. They fit her exeptionally well, she commented that they sit somewhat in a mid-rise position and help keep her "tucked in". Only complaint is that after only 2 wears and 1 wash, the elastic waistband became undone. Will be exchanging them since we love them. Pitty our local express does not carry EXPcore. August 14, 2014
Wonderful workout pants The mesh accent makes these pants more unique and sexy, It also allows a bit of "ventilation" when exercising. One drawback is that It goes up until the panty line, which means the panties must be black. As compression pants they should not run big, I am 5'8", 140 Lb and the small fits just fine. April 22, 2014
Sexy Exercise Wear Just purchased these from a store and can't wait to work out in them. The mesh detail add a bit of sexiness to a plain black crop. The waist is a bit different from the other performance bottoms but I still took the same size. March 28, 2014
Great Style I've been looking for this style and I'm glad Express came out with it! It's unique. Material is light. Stretchy at the waist. I gave it a four because the material was okay but worth it for me with a promo code and since this style was hard to find. March 25, 2014

re: Denver:
What strikes me the most is how no one is commenting on why the Broncos came back. ...
I wonder if any of our 9-0 teams will be upset? Atlanta, Green Bay, Carolina, New England, Indianapolis and Houston.
wrt to the Redskins, the future is now. Two playoff appearances in the last 20 freaking years. No way they pass this up. Making the playoffs would be a tonic this franchise badly needs. Even a one-and-done would be a huge win.
Just winning out against divisional opponents -- especially the Cowboys at FedEx -- would ignite long-dormant passion in fans and restore a measure of the faith that has been steadily eroded on Lil' Danny's watch.
STL @TB, very close, and so I guess when in doubt go with the home team? right?
I'd give STL more of a chance, due to D and not O.
What's a bit worrisome for STL fans is a recent article by Advanced NFL stats see: http://www.advancednflstats.com/2012...landscape.html
there's a blurb on Bradford and his projected stats for the end of this season: " **With a 0.03 EPA/P, Sam Bradford would join this list at the end of the season. "
We'll see what Fisher will do...
It would be out of this world if he brought in AFL QB Tommy Grady, who was beaten out by Bradford at Oklahoma and Grady beats out Bradford at STL.... just a little speculation...

Tunica CVB targets Memphis market
Local tourism officials are coming back to an old friend.
A new marketing campaign that runs through October is targeting the Memphis metropolitan area.
{paypalaccess}Read more{/paypalaccess}
"We are reintroducing Tunica as a tourism destination," Tunica Convention and Visitors Bureau CEO Webster Franklin told Tunica Rotary Cub members earlier this month.
The CVB has six weeks of TV, radio and newspaper advertising scheduled, but nontraditional marketing will also play a big part in the campaign.
"We have mobile billboards in East Memphis, and street teams that go to big events in the area and hand out information," Franklin explained.
"We're trying to create a buzz that Tunica is a fun, easy place to get to."
CVB and county officials also plan a new study to move the tourism industry forward.
"We hope to issue a Request For Proposals on a destination development study that would seek different products that want to invest here," Franklin said.
Frankling cited the county's good infrastructure and access and its "great people" as pluses for the area.
"Our (gaming) facilities were built in 1995; by 2015, they're going to be worn out.
"We have got to plan for the future and what can help sustain this economy."

Converse Skateboarding GOOD VS BAD SIDE
A Skateboarding video by converse - 2,664 views
GOOD VS BAD SIDE by Dani Quintero
All the ones who skate have made them selves the same questions. In general, everything has its two sides, the positive and the negative. In skate, we rather stay on the shiny positive side but first you have to go thru the rough side.
The negative side of skateboarding. There are many obstacles to dodge before you can taste the glory of landing a trick. For example, the spot wasn't what you expected, rainy days, cranky patienceless neighbors, the assholios of the police finning us and the worse ones Injuries which means months of recovery.
As for the positive side, skateboarding also means, eternal friends, traveling to exotic places, being on the spots you dreamed of skating them on day, the absolute happiness of landing a trick, disconnect from reality, minimize the problems while you skate.

In its recent third quarter reporting, the company posted a 7% decrease in user engagement and a slide in growth of monthly active users: growth increased 23%, but that was down from 24% posted in the second quarter of 2014 and down from 38% reported in the third quarter of 2013. Consequently, Twitter's stock price has fallen in recent weeks, and the S&P downgraded Twitter's debt to junk status, describing the company's risk as significant. So, how did it come to this? Where did Twitter go wrong, and, more importantly, what can it do to right the ship and recruit new users?

November 27, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The insurance industry is reporting big strides in several makes and models of midsize cars when it comes to withstanding side-impact crashes.
Thanks to side air bags that are now standard and improved designs, cars in the latest crash tests do much better than those four years ago.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gives top scores in front-end and side-impact crashes to the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu, Saturn Aura, Dodge Avenger, Nissan Altima, Infiniti G35 and Mitsubishi Galant. The 2008 Kia Optima received the highest score in front-end tests and the second-highest score in the side test.
The Institute says 10 similar vehicles tested in 2004 without side air bags received the lowest rating of "poor" in the side tests.
In rear-end testing, the results were mixed. The Optima was the only vehicle tested to receive a top rating.

It's Thanksgiving again, and all across America folks are celebrating by spending time with family, eating too much food, taking a nap on Grandma's couch and generally just being thankful. Country stars have no shortage of reasons to give thanks, but they don't take that for granted -- they appreciate the blessings they've been given.
I consider myself easy going. I have my beliefs, my morals, my thoughts on what is wrong and what is right in this world, but I'm certainly not one to force them on others.
My trips to the top of the soapbox are very few and far between, however, this Thanksgiving Day I just feel compelled to speak...or, I guess...type.

The Absent Sibling Question
Will you believe this? It's counter-intuitive.
In the 1911 census for England and Wales there's information on how long a marriage has lasted, how many children there have been and how many are still alive. That's in addition to information on names, ages, relationships, etc.
Suppose you have a family where the couple has been married for 25 years, they had two child who are both still alive and one of them, a girl age 21, is living at home.
Is the other child more likely to be male or female?
What do you think?
If a couple have two children the possibilities, in birth order, are:
Assume that each possibility is equally likely even though boy births occur slightly more frequently than girl births.
In this case knowing one of them is a girl we can eliminate the Boy-Boy possibility. That leaves three options two of which pair a girl with a boy and one with a girl.
It's twice as likely the other sibling not at home with the parents is a boy rather than a girl.
If you knew the girl at home was the elder, or the younger, there would be an equal chance the absent child would be male of female.

LAC Puts Further CEF Service Files Online
This has been a slow month, just 2,584 files added, half the anticipated rate. If continued that would see the digitization complete in 217 months, or 18 years.
Genealogy on YouTube : PRONI
In the little over a week that BIFHSGO has had its own channel on YouTube the first video, Lucille Campey's talk "Ignored But Not Forgotten: Canada's English Immigrants" has more than 100 views. I wondered how that compared so checked out some other genealogy-related channels.
The Public Record Office for Northern Ireland has been active for more than three years and remains so with 14 videos published on YouTube in the past month. One of those, Irish Language & Culture - PRONI - Ulster Protestant Gaelic Tradition has more views than the Campey video.
The most popular are in the Exploring Local History Lecture Series by PRONI and Open University Ireland (OUI) which date from three years ago, especially the introduction to the series with more than 1,850 views.
While on YouTube and Ireland, a reminder that videos from last month's Genetic Genealogy Ireland conference are available through their channel and receiving many views:
Maurice Gleeson - Which DNA test is best for you? (597 views)
Brad Larkin - DNA vs the Irish Annals (619 views)
Cathy Swift - Emerging dynasties in a maritime world: hunting for Brian Boru's genetic legacy (452 views)

Perth Historical Society November Meeting
In this latest of her books, Lives of the Family: Stories of Fate and Circumstance, Ms. Chong's intention was to explore the immigrant experience, living with memories, often mired in loneliness and longing for the familiar, but committed to making the transition to a new land. Ms Chong wanted a small-town Canada setting in the early and mid-20th century. She chose to focus on the towns in and around Ottawa, and on those people who were among a town's few or only Chinese family. One of the three families selected for her book was the Johnstons of Perth.
In the late 1890s, Harry Fong (the church changed his surname to Johnston) was first a laundryman, then opened Harry's Café, now The Stone Cellar, in Perth. Harry's life came to a tragic end when a driverless parked car rolled and pinned him against a building by the bridge. However, Harry had bought property, and, in time, his widow, Mabel, would become a successful businesswoman. By the time of her death in 1965, she was a millionaire.
At our November 20 meeting, Ms. Chong will speak about what brought the Chinese to the small towns, rather than settling in the larger cities amongst others with a common culture. Her talk will be illustrated with photographs, and she will read excerpts from her book. She will also introduce Mabel's niece, Linda Hum, whose father, Jasper, was a long-time cook at Harry's Café.
Denise Chong was born in Vancouver and grew up in northern B.C., in Prince George. She began her working life as an economist for the Federal Government, eventually becoming senior economic advisor to Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. When he left office, she began to write. She is best known for her family memoir, The Concubine's Children, a Globe and Mail best-seller for 93 weeks, and now a Penguin Canada "Modern Classic." Lives of the Family is her fourth book. In 2013, she was named an Officer of the Order of Canada. Ms. Chong's books will be available at the event and/or through The Book Nook.
The meeting at Perth's Royal Canadian Legion, 26 Beckwith Street E., home of the Hall of Remembrance, is at 7:30pm is co-sponsored by the Perth & District Historical Society and The Ottawa International Writers' Festival, Perth Chapter.
Heritage Ottawa Free Public Lecture
On Thursday, November 20, 2014, at 7:00pm Heritage Ottawa offers a lecture The East Block: An Exemplary Example of High Victorian Gothic by Jacqueline Hucker is a local architectural historian, and worked for Parks Canada and in the Federal Heritage Buildings Review Office.
The location is the Ottawa Public Library Auditorium, 120 Metcalfe Street (corner of Laurier Avenue W)
The East Block was designed in 1859 as one of the first Gothic Revival office buildings and it was an early example of the style's first phase of development. The talk will focus upon how the East Block's High Victorian Gothic style was influenced by the challenges of new urbanism. It illustrates the debates that surrounded the style's development, including the influence of Ruskin and Scott, and contemporary scientific discoveries.

Spending cuts seem here to stayBy PHILIP ELLIOTT
The Associated Press | March 04,2013AP PHOTO
President Barack Obama gestures as he speaks to reporters in the White House briefing room in Washington, Friday, following a meeting with congressional leaders regarding the automatic spending cuts.WASHINGTON The spending cuts are here to stay if you believe the public posturing Sunday.
The Senates Republican leader Mitch McConnell called them modest. House Speaker John Boehner isnt sure the cuts will hurt the economy. The White Houses top economic adviser, Gene Sperling, said the pain isnt that bad right now.
So after months of dire warnings, Washington didnt implode, government didnt shut down and the $85 billion budget trigger didnt spell doom. And no one has a tangible proposal for rolling back those cuts.
This modest reduction of 2.4 percent in spending over the next six months is a little more than the average American experienced just two months ago, when their own pay went down when the payroll tax holiday expired, McConnell said.
I dont know whether its going to hurt the economy or not, Boehner said. I dont think anyone quite understands how the sequester is really going to work.
And Sperling, making the rounds on the Sunday news shows, added: On Day One, it will not be as harmful as it will be over time.
Both parties cast blame on the other for the automatic, across-the-board spending cuts but gave little guidance on what to expect in the coming weeks. Republicans and Democrats pledged to retroactively undo the cuts but signaled no hints as to how that process would start to take shape. Republicans insisted there would be no new taxes and Democrats refused to talk about any bargain without them.
Thats not going to work, said Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H. If were going to increase revenue again, its got to go to the debt with real entitlement reform and real tax reform when you actually lower rates. ... Im not going to agree to any more tax increases that are going to go to increase more government.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said any tax increases were unacceptable.
Im not going to do any more small deals. Im not going to raise taxes to fix sequestration. We dont need to raise taxes to fund the government, Graham said.
All of this comes ahead of a new, March 27 deadline that could spell a government shutdown and a debt-ceiling clash coming in May.
Boehner said his chamber would move this week to pass a measure to keep government open through Sept. 30. McConnell said a government shutdown was unlikely to come from his side of Capitol Hill. The White House said it would dodge the shutdown and roll back the cuts, which hit domestic and defense spending in equal share.
We will still be committed to trying to find Republicans and Democrats that will work on a bipartisan compromise to get rid of the sequester, Sperling said.
Obama has phoned lawmakers but it isnt clear to what end. Boehner and McConnell said they had a productive meeting with Obama on Friday, but it didnt yield a deal.
Well, no one can think that thats been a success for the president, said Mitt Romney, Obamas unsuccessful rival in Novembers election. He didnt think the sequester would happen. It is happening.
Obama and the Republicans have been fighting over federal spending since the opposition party regained control of the House of Representatives in the 2010 midterm elections. The budget cuts were designed in 2011 to be so ruthless that both sides would be forced to find a better deal, but they havent despite two years to find a compromise.
The $85 billion in cuts apply to the remainder of the 2013 fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30. But without a deal they will continue slashing government spending by about $1 trillion more over a 10-year period.
McConnell spoke to CNNs State of the Union. Boehner was interviewed on NBCs Meet the Press. Sperling appeared on ABCs This Week, NBC and CNN. Ayotte appeared on ABC. Graham spoke with CBS Face the Nation. Romney was a guest on Fox News Sunday.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK The stock market stayed at record levels on Monday as investors remained confident...

Looks more like Old Limp Cuss, not heaven. So that would be the Mythuss?
God's feminine expression, the Holy Spirit, thanks you for the plug. "We" did create the world, after all.
so women ruined the party? I thought women WERE the party…
It's all believable except for the pizza delivery box!!! I mean really, doesn't Wiley think we know there were no roads to drive the delivery cars back then!
Since humans are made of two parts so are their deities. Male and Female principals.
Bad thing for God
if you are familiar with some of the old books when Adam was naming the animals he noticed that he was the only one that didn't have a mate, he then tried to mate with a number of animals which pissed god off and prompted him to create Lilith, Lilith wanted to be on top, which didn't suit Adam, and Lilith takes off to do her own thing, after a few more tries god creates Eve which satisfied Adam, until he framed her for the whole apple thing.
Now you see, this would simplify everything!
The big TV set, equivilant to the campfire from a certain movie…
♫♩♩ Ooh, that smell
Can't you smell that smell?
Ooh, that smell
The smell of death surrounds you…
It sounds like God realized Adam wasn't too smart, and created Lilith to be a combination mate, lover, and lifeguard (to keep that nitwit from getting himself killed).
And not being too bright, Adam, didn't know a good thing when God gave it to him, setting into motion the whole, "Sure, I know what I'm doing. I've seen it done on TV" school of last words.
( See it and say it that many times, and the word "smell" starts to seem really strange/funny.)
Panel two, to a fan of Wiley is like Christmas morning, so much to look at! I don't know which is funnier, the bunny with the martini, or the snake with the beer drinking rig….Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mr. Miller…..
Haha! Blazing Politicians?
I don't know what you expect staring into the TV set
