Don't be mislead by this book's title. The knits are, indeed, simple, but not for beginners only. The sweaters, especially, will help intermediate knitters develop their skills.

Hi, thanks in advance for any tips you may have. I've worked in my current job for 8 years and would love find something similar but in a different environment. I've gotten a couple of responses from my resume but they've all been sales-related, which is not my forte.

I have recently been side-tracked in my yoga pratice due to an over-bearing schedule. I would rather participate in group yoga instead of alone at home, but I am unable to sign up for any classes because nothing in my area is available in my time frame.
Here is my burning question:
Have any of you bought and liked at-home yoga practices on DVD?

DEGREES OF QUANTUMNESS: SHADES OF GRAY IN PARTICLE-WAVE DUALITY

I work in a pretty small department. There are 17 of us, mostly warehouse workers and managers. But I'm not really so much warehouse- my immediate manager is the in charge of logistics systems like the online FedEx shipping program (which is our own, not FedEx.com) and all of our databases.
