Yoga was first introduced to America in the 19th century, but it wasn't until the 1960s, when The Beatles' George Harrison became fascinated with Indian philosophy, that yoga boomed and became a popular activity. Since then, people nationwide have become interested in learning and studying the art of yoga.
Deaf Judges wants to see you in your underwear - well, sort of. The local hip-hop band, consisting of Produceman (Judge Fear), Rorshak (Judge Mortis), Louie Larceny (Judge Fear) and DJ/producer DJ Cubenza (Judge Death), is headlining a pajama party at the 40 Watt tonight.
Wilmot Greene is a busy man. To rebuild his Georgia Theatre, which was completely gutted after a fire on June 19, he must organize a capital campaign, arrange benefit shows in other venues and oversee construction in the century-old building that meets modern safety codes.

Although some high-gravity beers are consumed in interest of potency, some offer outstanding flavor in addition to expedited inebriation. The Urthel Brewery's "Hop-It" combines a plethora of hops, tropical fruits and spicy Belgian yeast.
