Ustraasana – the Camel Pose

Press your palms firmly against your soles (or heels), with the bases of the palms on the heels and the fingers pointing toward the toes. Turn your arms outwardly so the elbow creases face forward, without squeezing the shoulder blades together. You can keep your neck in a relatively neutral position, neither flexed nor extended, or drop your head back. But be careful not to strain your neck and harden your throat.

Stay in this pose anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute. To exit, bring your hands onto the front of your pelvis, at the hip points. Inhale and lift the head and torso up by pushing the hip points down, toward the floor. If your head is back, lead with your chest to come up, not by jutting the chin upwards. You may use a pad/mat/hard cushion/blanket under your knees and shins.

Beginners very often may not be able to touch their hands to their feet without straining their back or neck. First, try to turn your toes under and elevate your heels. If this doesn't work, the next thing to do is to rest each hand on a block. Position the blocks just outside each heel, and stand them at their highest height (usually about 9 inches). If you're still having difficulty, get a chair. Kneel for the pose with your back to the chair, with your calves and feet below the seat and the front edge of the seat touching your buttocks. Then lean back and bring your hands to the sides of the seat or high up on the front chair legs.

Bow hunters, anyone have a Wolf Archery Alpha Hand climber?...What do you think of it?

...Particularly ease of climbing and seat comfort...is it worth the price and who has the best price?

This stand is quiet. Very quiet. I feel confident in the woods with this product setting up early morning and knowing I'm not being pin pointed because of noise as I get up any tree I feel like sitting in (within reason. nothing huge. nothing too small) Very solid. easy to pack in/out. Easy enough to climb. Read some reviews saying climbing was difficult but I haven't found that to be the case. I bought this in early January, practiced with it for about 90 minutes and was able to use the sucessfully the next day. I used this in cold weather , with heavy gear and gloves, and it worked well for me. I can't wait to use it next season in warmer weather, it is going to open up more opportunities for me on public land."
Love the bow grommet and holder. The only thing I wish this stand had was a fold up seat for that extra bit of standing space.It is expensive, but so far, it has been worth it. I sought a lot of opinions before I bought it, I really did not want to spend the extra money, but right now I am glad I did. for 20 more buck you can get larger straps, so that you can climb bigger trees. I am very happy and plan on getting there gang on stand next." I found they all average around $329 when I was looking for mine. So I just went to Cabelas which was the closest for me.

Hostage victim speaks out
Late last Thursday night Eve Lankford’s ex husband appeared at her Broken Bow door and the scene wasn’t good. Robert Lankford, 20, had a gun, threats were made, and according to Eve, he said he’d use it.
