There are many similar problems for men (and for the unfortunate children who schlepp great big school bags on their shoulders.

This is a stamp about Chiropractics, or perhaps only self-managed solutions. But is that enough? And what about the landscape? should we not manage that as well? More parks and better recreation sites could also improve our mental stress levels. But then, people go into solutions carrying still more (heavy) baggage).

There's a tilt; you can adjust for it (bones or bacteria).

There's the debate: a telephone worker who carries his heavy tools on his hip will suffer a bodily deformation, even if he switches sides, which he probably won't. The yoga here is how a heavy bag effects a woman's bodily structure.  The spine  curves toward the shoulder you carry your purse on, which results in the inability to move your arms and legs in their natural motion. Over time, this creates other physiological problems with the upper and lower body. Wellington Hsu, MD, an orthopedic surgeon at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, says he’s had a number of patients with neck and shoulder pain that correlated with the weight of their handbags. “Most of the time, patients complain of a pulling sensation in the shoulder and related intrascapular pain,” he says.
Women should avoid carrying purses that weigh more than 10 percent of their body weight, but even this, for telepho9ne linemen with strong bodies, will be enough to bias them.  However, no purse at all or a small handheld purse is the optimum solution. And there's more trouble: One ABC News investigation revealed that most purses contain tens of thousands of germs. Half of the bags tested in the experiment were positive for coliform bacteria, indicating the possible presence of human or animal waste . How can this happen? Think about it — women place their purses in public bathrooms, including on floors where bodily fluids may spill; on public transportation, such as bus and train floors; and on fast-food counters, floors, and chairs, all of which contain potentially harmful germs. BUT WHAT ARE THEY THINKING? GOOD TOURIST YOGA!

Blondes have all the fun!

But Lara isn't a blonde.

Is this a he or a she?

If its a he, then it's Stan Dard-Deviation.

For a very short while -- indeed only for a moment -- Stan was distantly related to Pearsons product-moment correlation coefficient -- but then the lights changed, and his moment had gone.

I came across an intersting reference by Joan Miro to 'Mediterranean Yoga' -- a phrase he used to describe his afternoon siesta.
