Still, the quotes are interesting and enlightening.] "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction." Copyright: Kevin Harris 1995 (may be freely distributed with this acknowledgement)

How to Make Your Own Couch to 5K Playlist for Free | Lucas Hammer So I have seen a lot of requests online that look something like this: Hey, I like x kind of music and want to do the Couch To 5K. Can somebody make me a playlist? Due to the large number of requests, I decided to make a quick tutorial to show how I created mine easily and for free. The first two things that you’re going to need are audacity which is available for free at and iTunes which is available for free at . The first step once both of the programs are installed is to adjust the iTunes import settings to set the default format of import to .mp3 format. Then select Import Settings which is on the General tab of the preferences. In the “Import Using” dropdown, select MP3 Encoder. After this, click OK twice to return to the iTunes main playlist screen. Now that iTunes is set up to receive new downloads in MP3 format, we need to download a podcast to give you verbal cues on when to run and when to walk. You’re halfway there.

How Yoga Might Relieve Stress-Linked Ailments: Scientific American Podcast Yoga and relaxation practices have been around for thousands of years. And modern research suggests that yoga could have a very real impact on many stress-related illnesses, including anxiety, depression and heart disease. And here's another reason to be down with downward-facing dog. Stress can make symptoms of chronic pain and depression worse. But yoga might be able to help, in part by stimulating the cranial nerve and an important neurotransmitter called GABA. The new theory is in the journal Medical Hypotheses. Previous research had found that people who did yoga for 12 weeks had lower anxiety and reduced chronic pain than those who went for walks or had standard medical care alone. The researchers are now testing just how well yoga, combined with conventional treatments, can actually improve symptoms of real medical and psychological conditions, including epilepsy, depression and posttraumatic stress disorder. —Katherine Harmon [The above text is a transcript of this podcast.]

What Does Love Mean to a Four-Year-Old? | John Mark Ministries A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, “What does love mean?” The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think: “When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore. “When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. “Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.” “Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.” “Love is what makes you smile when you’re tired.” “Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.” “Love is when you kiss all the time. “Love is what’s in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.” “Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.” Karen – age 7 Like Loading...
