There’s a new unofficial type of yoga called RAGE YOGA.\u00a0 And it involves doing yoga poses while you yell . . . curse . . . and drink.<\/p>\n
And one of the instructors says that even though swearing and cursing feels like the opposite of traditional yoga, it has the same end goal . . . to, quote, “let go of your frustration and rage in a healthy way.”<\/p>\n
There are actual classes for it in Houston and in Alberta . . . and there are also online classes you can buy at\u00a0RageYoga.com<\/p>\n
______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Antarctica’s ice is melting six times faster than in the 1980s, according to a new study, a dramatic acceleration that’s a key indicator of human-caused climate change. The researchers found that Antarctica has lost almost 278 billion tons of ice per year since 2009, while in the 1980s it was losing 44 billion tons a year. The lead researcher said that East Antarctica, which used to be considered stable, is losing 56 billion tons of ice a year, and that area’s melting increases the risk of a more than 10-foot sea level rise over the next century or so.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ENTERTAINMENT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Chris Pratt was on Ellen this week, and\u00a0he agreed\u00a0with Chris Hemsworth being chosen as People Magazine’s “Sexiest Chris.”<\/p>\n ___________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cParty of Five\u201d is coming back.\u00a0 After ordering up a pilot for a reboot of the 1990s series last fall, Freeform has announced that a full season order is now a go.

It to Negotiate and Get His Car Back<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n A 33-year-old restaurant manager in St. Louis named Jonathan Neukomm got carjacked on Monday.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He was sitting in his car on his break Monday night, when the carjacker walked up with a gun and told him to get out.\u00a0 So he did.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Then he tried to reason with the guy and told him it wasn’t worth it.\u00a0 And the guy responded by trying to SHOOT him in the leg.\u00a0 But luckily his gun jammed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n At that point, Jonathan decided to throw his keys on the ROOF of the restaurant, because he knew he could go up and get them later.\u00a0 Which was pretty clever.\u00a0 But unfortunately, he didn’t throw them far enough.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n They ended up on the ground next to the building, and the carjacker grabbed them.\u00a0 But while he was rushing over, he dropped his phone, and Jonathan grabbed it.\u00a0 Then they started negotiating.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Police probably could have used the phone to I.D. the guy.\u00a0 It’s not clear if he realized that or not.\u00a0 But he agreed to trade the car for the phone, then ran off, and police are still looking for him.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n

trash out last Monday in Alexandria, Minnesota.\u00a0\u00a0(About 125 miles northwest of Minneapolis.)<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 And his four-year-old black lab named Midnight was with him.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This was just before the polar vortex hit.\u00a0 But we’re talking about Minnesota.\u00a0 So it was still one-below-zero outside.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Anyway, Tim noticed Midnight was acting weird.\u00a0 Her ears were perked up, and she doesn’t usually do that.\u00a0 So even though it was freezing, he decided to follow her.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And she led him right to his 87-year-old neighbor Noreen, who’d fallen in the snow, and couldn’t get up.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tim got her inside, and his wife put her in warm clothes.\u00a0 It turned out she’d been out there for over 30 minutes.\u00a0 But she must have been bundled up pretty good, because she didn’t end up with frostbite or any serious injuries.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n She says they definitely saved her life though.\u00a0 And Tim told the local news he rewarded Midnight with an excessive number of treats.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n BIRTHDAYS

through their roots.
