An Open Book: Needles And Flags
By DAVID IZRAELEVITZ
Los Alamos
If you haven’t visited the Roundhouse during the legislative session, I very much encourage you to do so next year presuming that this COVID craziness is behind us.
Bees working in a beehive is an apt analogy, people running around from committee room to committee room, alternating with long periods of just buzzing in the hallways.
However, if you are not a legislator or a lobbyist or other interested parties, just peeking into the House or Senate galleries is often interesting, and if the political droning gets to you, there is always the incredible art displayed Read More

Home Country: Thursday Again
Home Country
By SLIM RANDLES
It was Thursday again. Mabel Adams asked at the desk to be sure.
“Thursday all day, Mabel,” the girl said. “Don’t forget to get your hair done today. Two o’clock … right?”
“Right,” Mabel said, locking the time away in her mind. “Two o’clock. On Thursday.”
She took her purple walker and went half a block to the counter at the drug store.
That nice Williams girl came over with a smile and a menu.
“Tuna on toast, Mrs. Adams?”
“Uh, sure. I like that.”
“Hot tea?”
“Yes please.”
After she ate, she started down the sidewalk toward the Curl Up ‘N Dye beauty parlor. The watch pinned on her Read More
Catch Of The Week: Romance Scammers – Don’t Go Breaking My Heart!
By BECKY RUTHERFORD

Social media is fun but can be fraught with peril… No, I’m not talking about that co-worker you mortally offended with that meme (you know what I’m talking about, shame on you); I’m talking about romance scammers!
What is a romance scammer? A romance scammer is a person who pretends to be someone else and tries to use this persona to social engineer you for their economic gain. Nothing personal, no feelings involved on their end; the primary interest is your bank account.
Romance scammers are especially prevalent in Nigeria and other African countries. You are dealing
Gruninger: The Peaceful Warrior – A Quiet Revolution
By Jacci Gruninger, MS, C-IAYT, ERYT-500
In the book, A Warrior of the Light by Paul Coehlo, he writes a warrior is “…someone capable of understanding the miracle of life, of fighting to the last for something he believes in and of hearing the bells that the waves set ringing on the seabed … Everyone is capable of these things. And, though no one thinks of himself as a Warrior of Light, we all are.”
Then, not even knowing the journey I had started, one of my yoga teacher trainees lent me a book called, The Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman. This book was made into a movie years ago starring Nick Nolte. Read More

There are many variations of the warrior poses in yoga but the main three are: Pars*va Vir*a*bha*drasana – Side Warrior; Vir*a*bha*drasana – Warrior and Vir*a*bha*drasana 3 – Balancing Warrior. The nice thing about all these poses is that everyone can be modified to suit your experience and ability in practice. You can even do all three of them with or on a chair.
These poses are great for strengthening the legs (especially the muscles around the knees), arms and core, as well as the ability to stay focused. Before diving Read More
