The Camel Pose

So I reached for my pack of Camel cigarettes, pulled
one out and let it dangle in my mouth, then assumed
the slouching pose of the animal formally known as
the Camel and clicked 'Play'. What ??!!

But seriously....
here's Yoga Direct from BodyArchitect.tv:
Instructor Mia shows you how to show off in Yoga class
with The Camel Pose.

Forever Young At Heart

By the time you read this post, some of the folks in this story
may be breathing their last. Strange but true, and a story that
bears mention wherever music is appreciated and Seniors
respected. Which should be everywhere.

"These gyrating geriatrics travel around the world
belting out rock classics and garnering rave reviews"
—Time Magazine, June 2005

Consider this : their repertoire includes songs from
The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Coldplay,
the 'Godfather Of Soul' James Brown and Led Zep.
Yep. You've never heard cover versions like this.

From their humdrum daily existence in an Adult Care facility
in Northampton, Massachusetts, since 1982 these spunky
Seniors have traveled and entertained folks in the far corners
of the globe, and have been the subject of countless Press
reviews, honors and even an award-winning Documentary
created especially for the UK's Channel 4.



Do they need more Media coverage ? In my opinion, yes.
They can never get enough Press because their story is a part
of every human's story - the story of living life to the fullest
regardless of age, with a sense of fun and bravado.

Poor But Hi-Tech

Mark Sappenfield of The Christian Science Monitor
sees India as nouveau riche, where even the poor are
intent on being on the cutting edge :

"Even this reporter's housekeeper, Asha Maya Tamangi is
occasionally given to extravagance. She can nearly touch
every wall of her apartment from her bed, and when she
visits her parents in Nepal each summer, the trip involves
a four-hour flight, a 14-hour bus ride, and two days of trekking
through the Himalayas.

But when she needed to buy a mobile phone recently, simplicity
just wouldn't do. She wanted to use it to listen to the radio, to
take pictures of friends, and especially to make videos of her
parents that she could bring back to New Delhi.

So she spent $170 – almost the equivalent of two month's wages
– to get a phone far better than even her employer's."

Photo of the Year by Nick Ut

Associated Press photographer Nick Út earned a Pulitzer Prize
for this haunting photograph, which was also the World Press
Photo of the year 1972. He spoke about this with the BBC and
shared the grisly and horrenduous details surrounding that eighth
day of June 1972.

I looked up his Wikipedia page after seeing a new image by him
on CNN, and it was sadly true. He did indeed take the photo below
on June 8th, an amazing 35 years to the day, after the prize-winning
one. Whatever else he may be up to, I see that he is still capable of
capturing the internal depth of human suffering. Too bad the human
'suffering' in this case happened to be an heiress named Paris -
getting free transportation in a squad car.
