Yoga for AS with Geoff Lindsay and Jamie Boder
Health & Fitness Society & Culture Medicine
Jayson:
Welcome to this week's episode of The Ankylosing Spondylitis Podcast. Today I'm very excited because we're going to touch on a subject that I get a lot of requests and information about, and that is yoga, specifically yoga for people that have Ankylosing Spondylitis. And today I've got both Jamie Boder and Geoff Lindsay on. Jamie is an instructor and teaches people yoga right now virtually. And he's located in England. And Geoff is an instructor , and has his classes that he shows and demonstrates different processes. So Gentlemen, welcome.
Jamie Boder:
Thanks for having me, Jayson.
It's great to have you guys. So, Jamie, tell me a little bit. You also have Ankylosing Spondylitis. Tell me a little bit about your diagnosis. And then were you into yoga prior to your diagnosis or was that something you came to afterwards?
So I started experiencing some things when I was about 14 and was put to growing pains and then other different conditions, lots of different lists. And eventually, I asked my GP, I need to see a rheumatologist just how to interlink. And then the day I saw her, she said, Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's this condition. And that was when I got to about the age of 18. That's when I got my diagnosis. And at first, it was a lot to take in. And I don't think the Internet can always be a very helpful place to learn about the condition if you're new to it, but that was my position. And the biggest thing that I was really thinking about was being a skateboarder half of my life, started skateboarding when I was like six years old, I was like, I can't stop. This isn't my big passion at the time. It was something that you know, competed and a very huge part of my life. So anyway, I went to a support group, and I wasn't very up for it, but I kind of forced myself to go, and that's where I met Geoff. And Geoff looked really in a good place, physically and just had something, you know, looks very healthy and I asked him, What were you doing, Geoff, you know, you must be doing something different from other people. And he told me about yoga. And it was that day, I went home and literally dedicated myself to practicing yoga for about, yeah, just pretty much every day for a year. I just didn't stop and yeah, transformative, to say the least. So that's a little bit about my journey with yoga and AS and have been practicing ever since and now teaching as well.
So how many years has that been now?
So it's been about five years of being practicing yoga consistently, nearly every day.
So with that, have you noticed any worsening like in your x rays that your GP will do?
So when I first started having symptoms I was in such a lot of considerable pain and struggled to. I had a bit of a limp and couldn't sweat definitely couldn't do any sort of sports, just essentially very desperate. And for the last two years, I've had stiffness but I haven't had any pain whatsoever. And that's was a bit you know, huge huge for me. So yeah, I'm in terms of x rays and things like that. I last had an xray about two years ago, and there's things are looking pretty good.
Now, are you on any medications or biologic anything to help with that?
I haven't been for on biologics for a year. I stopped biologics about a year ago, because I'm not for or against medication. I know medication can work very well for some people. But for me, I was at the point where I didn't feel like I was in need of it. And therefore I stopped taking So not on at the moment, but something me and Geoff will always emphasizes, if you're on medication, yoga can help with that medication with it's all integrative. So we're not we're not against using medication when necessary. And sometimes this happens in holistic worlds where they say, right, this is where this is our approach. You should stop all your other approaches. What we're saying is, this is a tool that you can use, you can harness and you can apply to your current life situation. And that's where things become very empowering.
Now, Geoff, so you've been practicing yoga for how long?
Geoff Lindsay:
About 30 years, a little over 30 years. I'm now 71. I started going to a yoga class once a week when I was about 40. I at the time was undiagnosed. I've been having symptoms for about 17 years. I started when I was 24. Then I found that yoga was making me feel good. It was relieving my pain. And I didn't understand why that was at all. But as we all know, it's an illness that generally progresses and it got to the point where I couldn't go to yoga. I couldn't go to class, I couldn't lie down, I couldn't sit down. My score on my overall disability level went up to about 8.5 out of 10, which was pretty bad. So then I get diagnosed, and I get put onto medication and medication was like a magic bullet for me, instant pain relief. I also then went on to a two week AS rehabilitation course at the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases in Bath, England. And that course has now been running for about 40 years. I've been on it three times and on that course I learned that when we have AS, we have inflammation both in the joints themselves, and also in what are called the enthesitis, which is where, the ligaments and tendons and muscles join onto the bone. And when you get inflammation in the joints, and in the enthesitis, stretching, elongating extending unfolding, literally breaks up that inflammation. So that's why going to yoga all these years, I felt so much better. So in combination with the medication and continuing yoga, I was feeling really good and basically my AS has not gotten any worse in the last 10 years. The X rays, so no worsening which I'm told is quite something for a 71 year old. I have an active life. And because I practice yoga regularly and I do the kind because I'm so experienced now say that I've been doing yoga For more than 30 years, so I kind of know what I can do and what I can't do. And what's good for me and what isn't, I can like now I've been sitting for 20 minutes, I'm starting to get an ache in my back. And I, I can do a couple of twists, I can do a couple of poses, and I can relieve that pain. After we've done this session. When I've been sitting down for a long time, I'll do maybe half an hour's whole body yoga, and that will relieve my pain for the rest of the evening. So I guess our message is that a young guy and an old guy, we've both discovered that yoga can be modified for AS, it can be made safe. The good thing about yoga is that people will stick at it because you can go to a yoga class anywhere in the world. So if you choose your style of yoga, wisely, if you go to a beginners level, you go to Hatha Yoga, that's the safest way and you choose your teacher well, then people stick at it generally. There are benefits. Of course, there are risks. So I don't advocate anybody doing anything that compresses the spine. So for example, headstand shoulder stand, something called the plow. And for most people, there are modifications which need to be done. For example, everybody thinks of yoga when you're sitting cross-legged on the ground. I can't sit cross-legged on the ground very easily. You just move your feet a little bit further in front of you and sit on the block or sit with your back to the wall and you can still get the benefit of some of the stretching and extending and elongation that we do in yoga poses.
Okay, so a big thing here in the States has been classes because of the aging population, has been the what are termed senior yoga classes, which I've always kind of termed those as a arthritic yoga classes well, only because they really try to emphasize maybe sitting down and doing different things from a seating position, some basic stretching. And I've always kind of thought that's a good spot for somebody say that's very fused and in my condition versus somebody like Jamie, who, you know, skateboards and is a very active young man, that stuff would kill me. So, is it fair to say when you're looking for somebody that's a yoga teacher? And is it fair to say, when you go in and talk to the teacher to say something like, do you have experience with arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis? Are you really shopping for somebody that understands the condition, correct?
Absolutely. Yeah. My vision is that, you know, when you're diagnosed, you're being told basically, you've got a painful, incurable, progressive, invisible disease of the autoimmune system. That's pretty bad news. Can we have some good news? Can we be told that out there, there is a yoga teacher who is qualified in yoga AS. Now the Arthritis Foundation in the States and here in England offer the class, Yoga for Healthy Lower Backs. They both set up courses for yoga teachers and for students with yoga for patients. So that the Arthritis Foundation is mainly for people with osteo and rheumatoid arthritis, the Yoga for Healthy Backs in England, it's not specific to AS so we need a kind of yoga teachers do and yoga students do short of that. I don't think it's right to say to people just go to any old yoga class, you need to get somebody who is qualified, experienced and on our Facebook page on our group Yoga AS you can join that if you have AS we have a series of resources on what kind of yoga is right for you, how to choose a teacher, how to choose a class, all of those things, there's a lot of detail in that. But basically find a qualified teacher, ring them up, speak to them, explain your condition to them. They may not know what AS is, and I have found this, so you do have to be extremely careful.
Yes. So my points that there is, in terms of finding a teacher, sometimes it could seem overwhelming to be like, Okay, well, I want to get into yoga, and I've not done yoga before. It's a big step to then go and start, you know, trying to find people but the next steps you can do is reaching out to us. You can get to know what yoga can really be catered for you. You can join our community learn more about how yoga can can be modified to see your practice and then once you get the ball rolling, and you start seeing benefits and how you feel Then that's a real motivator to then go, do you know what I want to find a teacher in my local area, I want to find someone who can take this further. So with that being said, if you want somewhere to get started, reach out to me and Geoff, and then from there, we can work with you. But there's also, you know, there's some amazing teachers out there as well. One thing that to get, you know, the we're excited about is we're working on a series of whole yoga series, and online video series, which is very in depth, which will be another great resource to get started with and use as a tool for those who you know, and especially during these times, getting a teacher in person will fluctuate in difficulty. So having somewhere to start, if you're listening to this and thinking, Well, I have not done yoga, but this looks like something I want to do, you know, reach out to me and Geoff and you know, that's a great place to get started and you know, you can go from there. And with me, I found that because I started realizing how important this was. I took it very seriously. And I think once you realize the benefit, you will. And going back to Geoff's point about styles of yoga, we do advocate what's known as Hatha style of yoga. And that's because it's very much focused on understanding the movements and the correct alignment before jumping into them. That being said, I very much go by the mantra that if your body is able to move in a certain way, and you feel comfortable doing don't feel like you can't do other styles of yoga, but you need to start by understanding what works for you first, and that's where you need to start with a level that's very adjusted very basic. And then from there, your practice can grow and evolve.
And what's that style called again?
Hatha, sometimes or sometimes pronounces Hatter, and it's essentially a call and response style. So the teacher will show you or show the student, the posture, the student observes. And then they will, the student will try it out for themselves. And that's why our videos, you watch the video, you look at the posture, and then once you understand it, you copy it, instead of just trying to kind of think your way through it. And that way you can emphasize safety.
Okay, so what we've actually done about that, Jayson is we've produced two films, one called First Steps, and the one called Next Steps. And Jamie has a version of those two and I have a version of them. And we're planning on another three, so we envison about five different levels in total. That was what we thought the feedback that we're getting is that we need something even simpler than First Steps. We need to do more stuff that's suitable for people who've, because of the pain; they have become sedentary in their behavior. So they're really starting at a point. Before First Steps, so we think we're going to have to do something there. People are asking for shorter videos, 10 minutes slots. And they're also particularly asking for yoga, which helps with pain in the sacroiliac joints. So we aren't just talking about yoga, we've already got four films out there that people with AS can follow. It's yoga modified, but we recognize that there are such a wide range of presentations. Comorbidities like hip replacements, like you can have osteoporosis, I have recurrent uveitis. So the Yoga has to be modified for the point that somebody comes to it. So Jamie was waiting, he came to yoga he was 19 still very, very mobile. For a lot of people in England anyway, the waiting time for diagnosis is about eight years. If you've had all that pain for eight years and like me, you had to stop playing football, running and dancing and all the rest of it. You don't come to it at the point where every other every person is of the same age. So we recognize there are different levels. That's why we've got those films and you can find those films either on YouTube at Yoga for AS, or on our Facebook group, which is also Yoga for AS. We've now got 360 people from around the world in our Facebook group.
And I honestly don't know as as I age and look at just the economics of Ankylosing Spondylitis. I don't know why when somebody is diagnosed now biologics are expensive and the medications are expensive. The lost wages are expensive. The disability is expensive. Everything around this disease is expensive to not only the person with it because it robs them of their life, their livelihood, and their current and potential future productivity. If I was a health care provider, you guys have the NHS National Health Data site. Yeah, here in the States we have different health insurance companies and so forth. I don't know why, Jayson, you were just diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis. Here's a biologic and here's a prescription for a yoga class set up by the health company. Hey, if you want to stay covered, you have to go or some form. I'm not telling you to go out and play American football or rugby or soccer or something that I'm not asking you to go get hurt. I'm asking you to go spend an hour a week stretching. Go more if you want. You know, they could theoretically have an instructor in there five days a week you could go one day a week, you can go five days a week, you can, whatever it's open. And to me that would be far cheaper in the long run then continuously writing scripts for biologics, pain meds, disability policies, you name it.
Yeah. And we would very much like I mean, Novartis are already doing series, Living with AS with the singer from something(Imagine) dragons. We think that some of the medication providers should be interested in what we're doing, because if we are helping the medication to work, there are better outcomes for those health care providers. And so it works two ways. If, for example, my anti-TNF medication which I take once a week, if that works longer, because I'm helping the medication to work, then that is better for those medications providers. So if there are any medication providers out there who would like to talk to us, we do need some funding, because we need to take this on to the next level. There is a global interest in what we're doing. Now we have had Facebook page grow enormously in the last six weeks, we've got hundreds of people and people joining every day from all over the world. And we have some very, very severely disabled people, not only people with AS, but also their husbands and wives as well, which is something, which is really important consideration. You will stick at something if you're getting support from around here. So if somebody says you've got to do this fitness prescription, but it involves me going off into my lonely room with my horrible diagnosis and doing something called exercises I'm not going to do it and people don't do it. But if you saying, I'm going to do this with your wife, then your wife understands about your pain and what helps you relieve your pain. And it's a nice thing to do. So, you know, we're growing here.
Just add to that point you can practice knowing that there are other people out there they're also using yoga as a tool for AS, so you know, for example you might not be in a you might not be married, you might live on your own, but you can know that there's a community of people worldwide that are practicing Yoga for AS and that's a very empowering thing. And I think one thing that I really mean is Geoff is very passionate aboutAS you know, knowing that there is so much we can do, and a big step towards it is you know, a regular yoga practice in a way that is empowering. You're not in years sometimes people were given an exercise sheets and told to go and exercising, that's hard to stick to hard to be accountable. But when you have that level of accountability, it can make a big difference. So that's why community is very important. Even if it's virtual, it's still a powerful tool.
I see it satisfying two things because, as I mentioned with Geoff, the ability to get a prescription and go to a class, but also the the isolation feature, if once or twice a week, I'm going to a yoga class and not going from work and going home. I'm staying out mentally stimulating myself as well as physically stimulating myself and not falling into the doldrums of I'll just go home and sit in front of the TV and eat and I'll maybe I'll stretch but as you said there's no accountability. Whereas if I go out, and I even though that instructor is not going to flog me if I don't, you know, do my exercises, there's still that level of accountability. Because you don't want to look like the worst person in class, you want to look like you at least can, in some form or fashion, participate, but you want to belong. And again, I look at it more as a mental stimulation. And again, from an insurance standpoint and an NHS standpoint, the Canadian healthcare system, you might not end up on more medications, all of this works to try and keep you off these medications, which are expensive. They're just flat out

And again, from an insurance standpoint and an NHS standpoint, the Canadian healthcare system, you might not end up on more medications, all of this works to try and keep you off these medications, which are expensive. They're just flat out expensive and they're not always good for you.
Yes, absolutely. And I think that's, that's the real crux of it. And the more we can emphasize, the continual practice can make a huge difference, especially the idea that things can you know, you're told when you're having a diagnosis that this is progressive, which is disempowering. But what is empowering is knowing that what can you progress? Well, you can start with a very basic yoga practice catered for you that can progress every single day, it can get better and better and better and you can improve on that practice forever and you will never arrive you'll never achieve and become the perfect Yogi. No one ever does more, maybe a couple of couple of done in the Himalayas, essentially, it's a lifelong practice that can always improve and always get better. And that's a very empowering thing for your mind, especially if you're someone who's been diagnosed and you're mentally struggling, which is, which is common with anything that is of this nature, anyone who's struggling mentally from any condition where that just be a mental condition itself, yoga can have a big impact and it can really, really make a difference. And, you know, commonly we know yoga is the physical postures, but that's only one aspect. It's also about understanding you know, your mental states as well and they can make a huge difference and if you're less stressed, mentally stress can cause havoc on inflammation. And that's another powerful aspect of this practice controlling actually how you feel very quick in levels of stress.
So let's jump back to you for a moment, Geoff.
I've been doing yoga for so long. Yeah, if I walked in, and maybe it's the same in the States, as it is in, say, England, or Germany, or wherever I sit down at my computer, because there really isn't much to do with phone books anymore. How do I locate that first yoga class? What am I looking for? I have a bunch of yoga studios in front of me, how do I pick that right one? Or what are the questions I should ask?
Right? First thing is that very, very comprehensive guidance to this we've published on our Facebook page on our group Yoga for AS, so that's all there, join the group and go to files. There's a section on there on what style yoga, what's a beginners class? How to choose a teacher how to find a teacher? But if I could just say, go to the Spondylitis Association of America(spondylitis.org). Have a look at their program called what's it called Back to Action Again. And Larry Payne does a yoga class for people with AS there that shows you a world renowned teacher. You can also go to the Yoga Alliance International and find a yoga teacher near you find four or five and ring them up and have a chat and say, I've got as I've had it for decades, I've got hip replacements. I'm not very mobile. What do you suggest? If they say oh, come to my advanced yoga class, do some power yoga, you'll be okay. You know, they're not the people to go to. If they say what say Yes, tell me about AS and you know, one of the best things that you can do When you find a yoga teacher you trust you've worked with for a while, go with that yoga teacher to your rheumatologist and give your rheumatologist a letter, giving permission to share information about you, with the teacher so that the rheumatologist, the teacher, and the patient are all working from the same script working together in that partnership in care.
So Jamie, tell me a little bit of being in South England. Have you had much interest questions, requests for information from other parts of the world about, say from yoga instructors about how do I branch out and incorporate Ankylosing Spondylitis or arthritis into my yoga practice or say a different teaching class?
Yes, so to answer that question, in the last couple of months, we've started getting in contact with yoga teachers from around the world who have AS and there are, me and Geoff advocate yoga, yes, but there's other people as well who use yoga as a really powerful tool to help with their condition. And we're starting to build up those rapport and those relationships with teachers who also have AS and we are in the works of seeing how we can branch that out further, but we're hoping and envisioning, in due course, that we will be able to someone comes to us with AS who lives in, for example, California. And we go yes, we know a yoga teacher who has AS and you can reach out to that individual. So that that's where we're looking to take things in the future. And in terms of teachers that don't have the condition, I think, a teacher and from teachers that I've spoken with, and Geoff will be able to advocate for this as well. A good teacher who's passionateabout yoga and accessibility, a good teacher will want any student, whoever they are to practice yoga, a good teacher will get enough information, enough understanding of what the students going through to be able to adjust a practice to suit them. And the other thing to add there is, its about that relationship and the student also understanding their own body, what they can, what they can't do, and having that good communication. So to kind of bring that question back in the full circle, if you're looking for a teacher, and you don't know where to start, you can know that if you find a teacher that is passionate and really cares, they can they can help to support you, but also on an online setting. You can come to us and we can either work with you through our tutorials or we can direct you to someone in person and eventually we're looking to really build this tribe and you know, more is definitely to come and there's a lot of teachers out there, we're discovering more and more every single day that have this condition as well.
Well, and that's one of the things I was looking at when I'm looking at the videos you and Geoff have done that are on YouTube. I said at a minimum, almost everybody nowadays, either has some type of set top TV box or a smart TV that includes YouTube. So the ability to say, Oh, I don't have room in front of my computer to do yoga, I don't want to drag my laptop around. Well, that is true for some, not for the bulk of us. I was just sitting there thinking, Man, I can pull up First Steps with Geoff and that's an hour and like an hour and 20 minute video. And maybe I can only do 15 minutes out of it. But if I can break that video down into 10 minute - 15 minute chunks and do bits and pieces or I can flip from a little bit with Geoff to a little bit with Jamie to maybe something off of the Spondylitis Association (of Amewrica). I might not be comfortable or feel that I'm in enough shape to go to a class I might be self-conscious. But this is a great way to start moving. I've said I might not be in a spot to do kettlebells because I was watching you, Jamie do kettlebell stuff, but I certainly can walk to the to the cabinets, get two plastic shopping bags, put two or three, you know, canned goods in each bag, and pick those up across the living room and not have to be self conscious about Oh, somebody's gonna think I look ridiculous. Who cares? It's all even if you pick those bags up and just walk back and forth across your living room half a dozen dozen times. Maybe the next week you do it 18 times. It's all a function of baby steps because if you haven't done anything, in my case, 8-10 years, you can't expect to jump out and do a triathlon that you just setting yourself up for failure. You've got to you've got to start small and think big.
Absolutely. You can't succeed from failure. You can only succeed from success. And that's so important to find a place to everyone does have, they just got to find the starting point. Once they can find that starting point, then they can take things forward, then they can move things forward. And it's just focusing what you can do. And that's why going back to your point about short videos, we're working to produce lots more content, we've actually been working with a company get some really good quality videos out, which will be a lot shorter. So if you've got 10 minutes, you press play, learn new postures and practice them. And if you've got an hour, then that's great as well, but it's about starting and having that consistency, because going back to that notion of progression. Progression is something that happens slowly over time. So if you want to progress positively, again, over time, slowly build things up in a positive way. And that's where you'll see some real changes. But that being said, you can still see marked benefits in how you feel after one class. And just to sort of finalize that point, if you're at a point where you really can't move, and you're really struggling, and when I mean, can't move, like you're in a really bad day, having a bad day. Yoga isn't always about postures; it's also about breathing. That's a huge part of what we practice. Its called Pranayama is the official name for it, but it's just means breathing techniques. And these can be really powerful to actually help with so many things like fatigue can help with calming your nervous system down. It's one of the only parts of our body we can actually control we can control our autonomic nervous system with breathing. So that's a huge thing that you can do. And there's also guided relaxations. That's something we're working on. So there's always a place to start. Even if it's not the physical postures, you can start with some breathing in some of our videos we do some breathing techniques, but you can start with some guided relaxations and then that is yoga, you are practicing yoga. In the in the West, at least we have this idea of yoga of people sitting in a cross legged position or doing these very advanced poses. Yoga is actually designed, all for mind. So, don't get overwhelmed by the images you see in the media. Just know there is something you can do always
Well, see. 20 years ago, I would have told you yoga, meditation, all that I would have said it's all rubbish. Fast forward, I get a little knowledge onto me. And I took a meditation class a few years ago, and that has been an amazing experience. You know, it's great when I see somebody like Jamie or I like when I see somebody, that's your age (Geoff), you said you're 71 close to my age. And, and I can relate to you and say, alright, here's a gentleman that walks, stretches. Leads an active lifestyle for his age, you know, is not sedintary, just a waiting to check out so to speak.
Yeah, this is the thing we believe that we actually have to show other people with as what you can actually do. The guys who do the awareness raising stuff, that's okay. It's all good, but like you say, in some ways, it kind of really makes you think, okay, I can't do that I can't do this, I can't do that. So we said, right, we're going to do a kind of a very wide range of people can do safely. So for example, for yourself, we would say some relaxation, some breathing, some chair yoga, and specifically, where somebody who's had hip replacements, you've got to be particularly careful about some of the movement around those areas. So this is evolving. So to answer one of your earlier questions, we now actually have three other highly trained how experienced yoga teachers who have become members of our Facebook group yoga for AS and we envison this as something that evolves. So that we can provide for young people who are still pretty active, they haven't gotten a lot of fusion; we are going to be able to take account of people who have other conditions like say, diabetes, maybe osteoporosis, other things like that. And for people who, because of all the pain, have lapsed into sedentary behavior, and need to start from really, really, really beginners. And so this is something that's going to evolve. We need backing, we need support. We're getting that from other patients and to an extent from our we've recently joined with our British National Organization and National Ankylosing Spondylitis Society so it's now changed its name to the national axial spondyloarthritis society to do something called summer stretch where for two weeks, people were encouraged to do either yoga or allottees, or typical physiotherapy exercises. So along with the Spondylitis Association of America doing the yoga class recently, I think the door is starting to open. And this evolution that we want to see of highly qualified yoga teachers with as and also patients are qualified by experience coming together to develop the actual yoga poses that are suitable for every level of person with AS so that you don't look like the fool in the class who can't do anything. That's the thing. You know, I hear so many stories about I got as I went to a yoga class and it you know, I just couldn't do anything. It felt risky. It was dangerous. I had fear of injury. And I say yeah, that's right. And that's why, you know, we've got to be very, very careful. That's why we're offering this detailed advice about how to choose a yoga class because it's going to a yoga class that you're most likely to keep up. If it's Go to your room and do yoga on your own, you're not going to keep it up. But if you go to a class where your level of yoga, his record of disability is recognized, and pursued, the level of yoga is to match that with a teacher you trust who says to you, me, my teacher says to me sometimes, if you're not doing this, well, I go, oh, Jeremy, please, can I he goes, No, no, you know, you must know yourself. So that's the kind of thing that you want from you yoga teach.
Well, gentlemen, it's been great having you on. I know we haven't really even scratched the surface of yoga and what you both are able to impart to people that want to start. And I think it's really interesting from a person with ankylosing spondylitis to look and say, I've got a young man, you Jamie, and somebody that's close to my age. They're with you, Geoff and it really shows that no matter what your ages, or what your physical point is that you're at right now, do something. Get out there because doing something is better than just sitting around and doing nothing. And so again, I thank both of you for being on and really, I can't thank you enough for the wisdom you've imparted today.
Well, thank you for having a Jayson. It's been an absolute pleasure.
Yeah. Thank you, Jayson and greetings to all the other people with AS out there wondering about yoga, give it a go.
Well, and for all the listeners, I want you to reach out to them. Both Geoff and Jamie are as you've heard, extremely personable, and while they're in England so there is a time difference to deal with for those of us here in the States or for Canada. For anybody in Europe, you're roughly the same timezone, you know, within an hour or so and so It's not a huge deal to sit down on, whether it be a zoom or a Facebook Live or whatever session that Geoff and Jamie are doing and, and start this whole process because it's got to start somewhere. It's got to start with the baby step. So, again, I thank you guys for the videos you're making for people like myself, that have, by default lead a sedentary life, and know, we need to do something to change that.
Absolutely. And we've got so much more to come. We've got so much more to come.
Thanks very much to everybody. Greetings to all the other people with AS out there. There is a yoga for you join the Yoga for AS journey.
And you know, in the shownotes I'll have their Facebook page Yoga for AS. Go out and join it. Let's see a large jump up in their numbers. And let's, you know, have both of you back on in the future. So, thank you both gentlemen.
Thank you so much and I'm excited to see your Yoga for AS journey evolve.
Well, that's two of us.
Stay in touch with us Jayson.
Will do gentlemen, you guys have a great afternoon.
You too, you too.

The American people are angry. They are angry that they are being forced to live through the worst recession in our lifetimes — with sky-high unemployment, with millions of people losing their homes and their life savings. They are angry that they will not have a decent retirement, that they can't afford to send their children to college, that they can't afford health insurance and that, in some cases, they can't even buy the food they need to adequately feed their families.
They are angry because they know that this recession was not caused by the middle class and working families of this country. It was not caused by the teachers, firefighters and police officers and their unions who are under attack all over the country. It was not caused by construction workers, factory workers, nurses or childcare workers.
This recession was caused by the greed, recklessness, and illegal behavior on Wall Street. And, what makes people furious is that Wall Street still has not learned its lessons. Instead of investing in the job-creating productive economy providing affordable loans to small and medium-size businesses, the CEOs of the largest financial institutions in this country have created the largest gambling casino in the history of the world.
Four years ago, after spending billions of dollars to successfully fight for the deregulation of Wall Street, the CEOs of the big banks — JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs and the others — went on a losing streak. The enormous bets they made on worthless, complex, and exotic financial instruments went bad, and they stuck the American people with the bill.
Wall Street received the largest taxpayer bailout in the history of the world. But it was not just the $700 billion that Congress approved through the TARP program. As a result of an independent audit that I requested in the Dodd-Frank bill by the non-partisan Government Accountability Office, we now know that the Federal Reserve provided a jaw-dropping $16 trillion in virtually zero-interest loans to every major financial institution in this country, large corporations, foreign central banks throughout the world, and some of the wealthiest people in this country.
And, instead of using this money to provide affordable loans to small businesses, instead of putting this money back into the job-creating productive economy, what have they done? They have gone back to their days of running the largest gambling casino in the world. In other words, they have learned nothing.
The American people are angry because they see the great middle class of this country collapsing, poverty increasing and the gap between the very rich and everyone else grow wider. They are angry because they see this great country, which so many of our veterans fought for and died for, becoming an oligarchy — a nation where our economic and political life are controlled by a handful of billionaire families.
In the United States today, we have the most unequal distribution of wealth and income since the 1920s. Today, the wealthiest 400 individuals own more wealth than the bottom half of America — 150 million people.
Today, the six heirs to the Walmart fortune own as much wealth as the bottom 30 percent.
Today, the top 1 percent own 40 percent of all wealth, while the bottom 60 percent owns 2 percent.
Incredibly, the bottom 40 percent of all Americans own just 0.3 percent of the wealth of the country.
According to a new study from the Federal Reserve, median net worth for middle class families dropped by nearly 40 percent from 2007 to 2010. That's the equivalent of wiping out 18 years of savings for the average middle class family.
The distribution of income is even worse. If you can believe it, the last study on this subject showed that in 2010, 93 percent of all new income created from the previous year went to the top one percent, while the bottom 99 percent of people had the privilege of enjoying the remaining 7 percent. In other words, the rich are getting much richer while almost everyone else is falling behind.
Not only is this inequality of wealth and income morally grotesque, it is bad economic policy. If working families are deeply in debt, and have little or no income to spend on goods and services, how can we expand the economy and create the millions of jobs we desperately need? There is a limit as to how many yachts, mansions, limos and fancy jewelry the super-rich can buy. We need to put income into the hands of working families.
A lot of my friends in the Senate talk a whole lot about our $15.8 trillion national debt and our $1.3 trillion deficit. In fact, deficit reduction is a very serious issue and will be one of the major issues of this campaign. Unfortunately, many of my colleagues forget to discuss how we got into this deficit situation in the first place, and how we went from a healthy surplus under President Clinton to record-breaking deficits under Bush.
When we talk about the national debt and the deficit, let us never forget that the current deficit was primarily caused by Bush's unpaid-for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Imagine that! President Bush and his deficit hawks forgot to pay for two wars which will end up costing us trillions of dollars. It just plain slipped their minds. On top of that, for the first time in American history Bush and his Republican friends decided, during a war, to give out huge tax breaks — including massive benefits for millionaires and billionaires. Even more importantly, the deficit is the result of a major decline in federal tax revenue because of the high unemployment and business losses that we are experiencing as a result of this recession — caused by the greed and recklessness of Wall Street. Revenue as a percentage of GDP, at 15.2 percent, is the lowest in more than 60 years.
Despite the causes of the deficit, our Republican (and some Democratic) friends have decided that the best way forward toward deficit reduction is to cut Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, education, food stamps and virtually every other programs of importance to low and moderate income families. We must not allow that to happen.
If we are serious about dealing with the deficit and creating jobs in America, the wealthy are going to have to start paying their fair share of taxes. We also have to end the massive tax loopholes and subsidies that exist for major corporations. (In that regard, Rep. Keith Ellison from Minnesota and I recently introduced legislation that would end all tax breaks and subsidies for the fossil fuel industry). At a time when the United States now spends more money on defense than the rest of the world combined, we also have to cut back on military spending.
Yes, we should deal with the deficit. But not on the backs of the elderly, the children, the sick and the poor!
Most importantly, when we talk about what's happening in America, we have to address the unemployment crisis in this country which now finds 23 million Americans without jobs or who are under-employed. And we know how to do that.
We know that the fastest way to create decent-paying jobs is rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure (roads, bridges, rail, airports, water systems, wastewater plants, deteriorating schools, etc.) We also know that we can create a great deal of employment by transforming our energy system away from foreign oil and coal and into energy efficiency and such sustainable energies as wind, solar, geo-thermal, bio-mass and other clean technologies. We also know that, as our country fights fierce global competition, it is absurd to be laying-off educators and making college unaffordable.
Not only must we resist cuts in Social Security, we must lift the cap on taxing higher incomes so that Social Security will be strong for the next 75 years.
Not only must we oppose cuts in Medicare and Medicaid, we must see health care as a right of all and continue the fight for a Medicare for All Single Payer health care system.
Not only must we oppose placing the burden of deficit reduction on the backs of working families, we must demand a progressive tax system in which the wealthy and large corporations start paying their fair share of taxes.
Not only must we oppose cuts in unemployment compensation, we must fight for a jobs program that creates the many millions of jobs our country desperately needs.
And, not only must we vigorously oppose the war against women, we must fight to end all forms of discrimination and prejudice in this country.
The struggle we are engaged in right now is of pivotal importance for this country. Whether we win or lose will determine the future of America. That struggle is not just for our lives but, more importantly, it is for our children and our grandchildren.
Despair is not an option. I know people get angry, I know they get frustrated, I know they get disgusted. But we don't have the right to give up and turn our backs on our children and grandchildren.
Our job is to simply bring to fruition what the overwhelming majority of the American people want. They want an economy that works for the middle class and working families and not just for the rich. They want everybody in this country to have health care as a right. They want to protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. They want to move away from these gross inequalities in income and wealth. We have the people behind us. They have the money. And at the end of the day, the people will be stronger than the money.

Missouri Valley Basketball Tournament Semifinals: Three Takeaways
BySamuel Bass
The rubber match between Loyola Chicago and Drake is set in the Missouri Valley basketball Conference Tournament Finals.
Loyola Chicago handily defeated Indiana State, holding the Sycamores to just 38.5% shooting en route to a 65-49 victory. Cameron Krutwig led the Ramblers with 18 points and 11 boards, and Lucas Williamson added 14 points and five rebounds.
It took Drake a little more fight to reach the Missouri Valley basketball tournament finals, as it narrowly escaped Missouri State, 71-69, on a clutch layup by Joseph Yesufu with two seconds on the clock. Yesufu led the Bulldogs with 25, and Tremell Murphy contributed 20 on 80% shooting.
1) Loyola Chicago is in the driver's seat
The Ramblers have been on fire this season, and their dominance has not disappointed in the Missouri Valley basketball tournament. Since losing to Drake on February 14, the Ramblers have won five straight games, including both tournament games by double digits.
Krutwig has been there before. He was on the teams final four roster, and it seems this team has even more talent. Although he is the only player to average more than 10 points, six other guys post seven points or more per game.
This kind of balance helps with quick layovers, and allows the team to still win if someone goes cold. Loyola Chicago is the favorite to win the championship over Drake right now.
2) Started from the bottom, now we here
Despite media criticism, Drake is still at the top of the conference with the Ramblers and are winners of six of its last seven matchups. Despite leading scorer Shanquan Hemphill being sidelined, Yesufu has stepped up, averaging 21 points in his last seven games.
Drake's ShanQuan Hemphill (foot) will meet with his doctor on Wednesday, per Darian DeVries. If he's cleared, his status will then be "day-to-day".
Hemphill leads the team in both scoring (14.1 PPG) and rebounding (6.3 RPG).
Has not played since 2/10.
— Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) March 1, 2021
Tonight was no different. With the game tied, Yesufu hit the clutchest shot of the year to this point, taking the 71-69 lead with two ticks left. He has become a dominant scorer, and that trend should continue in the finals against the Ramblers.
Drake will most definitely be one of two teams from the conference to make the NCAAT. Will it be via an automatic bid?
3) So, who wins?
A third takeaway? Not really. But it is reasonable to give a championship prediction in a semifinals recap.
The two teams met in mid-February, splitting the series 1-1. In the first game, Loyola Chicago blew out one-loss Drake, 81-54. The next day, Drake locked down on defense, winning a narrow 51-50 matchup.
What this says is Loyola Chicago can take an offensive show out and trump Drake, while Drake will have the upper hand in a defensive battle. What does this mean for the finals? Drake has failed to hold any opponent to less than 60 points since that second matchup. For that reason, it is easy to believe the Bulldogs will rely on an offensive heavy approach.
Although I have been a huge advocate for Drake all year, it is hard to give them the win based on recent performance. Loyola Chicago takes this matchup.
The final in the Missouri Valley basketball tournament between the two teams is tomorrow, March 7, at 2:10 on CBS.

Oxford school officials destroying evidence after attack, lawyer says
Nelita Collins 1 month ago
Detroit — Oxford Community School officials are destroying social media pages and other evidence that lawyers for siblings who survived last week's mass shooting want preserved, according to a Friday federal court filing.
Lawyers, who filed a $100 million lawsuit against the school district on behalf of two survivors Thursday, asked a U.S. District judge to order school officials to preserve the evidence and have social media companies restore deleted profiles and other information.
U.S. District Judge Terrence Berg granted the request hours later and ordered Oxford school officials, including Superintendent Timothy Throne and High School Principal Steven Wolf, to preserve electronically stored evidence that relates to the lawsuit.
Attorney Nora Hanna cited several pieces of missing or destroyed information, including one defendant's LinkedIn profile and a listing of high school administrators from the school website.
"Not only did defendants fail to take necessary steps to preserve the evidence, but they willfully destructed the evidence by deleting the webpages and social media accounts," Hanna wrote. "Plaintiffs cannot continue to be blindsided by the defendants by having to search for what evidence is being destroyed or altered."
The request by Hanna, a lawyer for sisters Riley Franz, 17, an Oxford High School senior, and Bella Franz, 14, a freshman, comes one day after lawyer Geoffrey Fieger detailed the lawsuit filed on behalf of the siblings who survived the Nov. 30 attack that left four students dead and seven other people wounded.
The allegation deepens the legal fallout from the country's deadliest school shooting since 2018.
The attorneys are asking several companies to hold on to any records they may have related to the shooting. Fieger's legal team has sent preservation requests to a slew of companies, public agencies and social media firms. That includes Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, the FBI, Department of Justice, Oakland County Sheriff's Office.
In addition to accounts, attorneys are also asking Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn to save posts using the hashtags #OxfordStrong, #OxfordSchoolShooting and #OxfordShooting from Nov. 30, as well as any posts, photos or messages sent or shared from the school that day.
Some of the biggest requests are made of the school district, asking it to produce all files on the alleged shooter, video footage made of the suspect's family, any correspondence addressing potential threats and all employment records of all counselors, teachers and staff of the school.
Included in the request are handbooks for and training materials given to several administrators, including Thorne and Wolf.
One example cited in the filing is a LinkedIn page featuring a person who Fieger's firm believes is employed by the school that the school district's attorney argues is not.
Timothy J. Mullins, the attorney for the Oxford school district, sent Fieger a letter on Thursday afternoon demanding him to retract allegations in the lawsuit against the person in question, saying the man has not worked at the district in more than a year and the allegations against him are false.
In a Friday night statement from the school district, Mullins said the lawsuits were "bombastic stunts masked as legal filings" that "do a disservice to the people of Oxford and the people of Michigan."
"These latest false allegations are baseless, reckless and totally irresponsible," Mullins said in a statement to The News. "Mr. Fieger has named the wrong person in his sloppy legal filings and is refusing to retract his statements and dismiss him immediately, which is unconscionable.
"School employees continue to receive death threats, and Mr. Fieger is throwing gasoline on the fire with his shameless, callous and irresponsible tactics and angry rhetoric."
Other requests include asking Abbey Ridge, the apartment complex next to the school, to save any recordings it may have of the shooting or of students and families coming and going after, and asking AT&T to save and produce all files, including calls and texts, to or from the Crumbleys and several administrators.
The same request was made of a Meijer store and a Tim Horton's near the school.
That lawsuit announced Thursday accuses school officials of failing to stop an attack that inflicted physical and psychological injuries on students and spreads the blame among the highest-ranking Oxford school officials along with unidentified teachers and counselors.
The lawsuit marked the start of what is expected to be a flurry of lawsuits seeking to hold the district and school officials responsible for a massacre that prosecutors say was carried out by 15-year-old sophomore Ethan Crumbley.

Das Johannes-Brahms-Gymnasium Hamburg (kurz: JBG) ist ein 1969 gegründetes staatliches Gymnasium im Hamburger Stadtteil Bramfeld. Die Schule trug seit der Gründung den Namen Gymnasium Bramfeld und wurde 2007 nach Johannes Brahms umbenannt.

Geschichte und Architektur
Das Gymnasium wurde 1969 in Hamburg-Bramfeld gegründet. Das Hauptgebäude ist ein dreigeschossiger Serienbau vom Typ 68, nach dem Grundriss auch "Doppel-H" genannt. Schulgebäude dieses Serientyps wurden in Hamburg vom Ende der 1960er bis Mitte der 1970er Jahre etwa 50-mal gebaut. Daneben gibt es auf dem recht weitläufigen Gelände ein Fachhaus, ein Oberstufenhaus, eine Drei-Felder-Sporthalle und ein Verwaltungsgebäude mit dem Lehrerzimmer. 2016/17 wurde ein Erweiterungsbau mit Mensa errichtet.

Mit der Umbenennung in Johannes-Brahms-Gymnasium im Jahr 2007 wurden die pädagogischen Ziele neu geordnet und neue Profile eingerichtet.

2011 nahm das Gymnasium erstmals am Programm Klima- und Umweltschule teil, mit Stand 2019 gibt es davon in Hamburg 66 Schulen. 2015 zeichnete die Claussen-Simon-Stiftung das Gymnasium für ihr Oberstufenprofil "Kultur entdecken – Kultur vermitteln" aus.

2017 gewann die Schule den Europäischen Schulmusikpreis.

Schulprofil
Mit knapp 650 Schülern (2017/18) ist die Schule im Hamburger Vergleich ein eher kleines Gymnasium. Die Schülerschaft des Gymnasiums kommt ganz überwiegend aus den umliegenden Stadtteilen Bramfeld, Steilshoop und Farmsen-Berne, teilweise auch aus dem nördlichen Wandsbek. Das Einzugsgebiet des Gymnasiums ist somit gemischt, teils gibt es dort freistehende Einfamilienhäuser, teils dichtere Bebauung bis hin zur Großwohnsiedlung Steilshoop.

Bei der Erhebung des Sozialindex für Hamburger Schulen 2011 wurde für das JBG ein Sozialindex von 4 errechnet – auf einer Skala von 1 (nachteilige Voraussetzungen der Schülerschaft, höchster Förderbedarf) bis 6 (beste Voraussetzungen, kein Förderbedarf). Im Schuljahr 2016/17 hatten 43 % der HSG-Schüler einen Migrationshintergrund, etwas über dem Durchschnitt aller Hamburger Gymnasien.

Am Johannes-Brahms-Gymnasium gibt es drei Profile, die in Beobachtungsstufe (Klasse 5–6) und Mittelstufe (Klasse 7–10) in entsprechenden Klassen umgesetzt werden.

Musik
Ziel des Musikprofils ist es, den Kindern Freude am gemeinsamen Musizieren zu vermitteln. Die Kinder erhalten neben dem Chorunterricht zwei Jahre lang Unterricht auf einem zu Beginn des 5. Schuljahres selbstgewählten Instrument.

Forscher
Die Schüler erlernen das systematische Beobachten, Beschreiben und Auswerten von Experimenten, vor allem in Partner- und Gruppenarbeit. Der Computer ist dabei ein Instrument, das zum Erfassen und Darstellen der gefundenen Daten genutzt wird.

Es geht um die Auseinandersetzung mit Naturphänomenen und um ein Sich-Erproben im Berufsfeld Naturwissenschaftler und Ingenieur. Zusätzliche Motivation erfahren die Schüler durch die Teilnahme an naturwissenschaftlichen Wettbewerben, vor allem an NATEX. Bei diesem Wettbewerb wird das selbstständige Planen und Protokollieren von Versuchen verstärkt gefördert und geschult. Die Themen bieten Experimentier- und Forschungsmöglichkeiten und sind an Alltagsphänomenen orientiert.

Sport
Der Fokus dieser Klasse liegt auf einem sportartübergreifenden Talenttraining. Dafür durchlaufen die Schüler viele Sportarten. Ein zusätzliches Ziel ist hierbei ein spezielles Beweglichkeits- und Athletiktraining. Dieses Profil ermöglicht den Schülern ein differenziertes und intensives Sporttreiben. Die Inhalte der Sportstunden richten sich nach den Vorgaben des Lehrplans und nach einem schulinternen Curriculum.

Ein weiterer Fokus ist die Teilnahme an Turnieren und Wettbewerben, wie z. B. Jugend trainiert für Olympia. Projekttage werden für sportliche Aktivitäten an außerschulischen Lernorten genutzt, eine Klassenreise mit sportlichem Schwerpunkt ergänzt das Programm.

The seller proclaims the car is "RARE" and I agree. This blue 1963 Pontiac Grand Prix is for sale here on craigslist near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for $7,500. What makes this car "rare"? The engine is the big block 421 CID. It also has the optional Hurst four-speed transmission. According to conceptcarz, there were only 5,157 Grand Prix cars with a four-speed made in 1963. Fewer yet of these models were ordered with the 421 engine! Pontiac wanted their cars to go fast in a straight line. Add these to the list: bucket seats, factory tach, vacuum gauge, and console. Check this out: it also has power windows! One thing is missing. The car does not ride on the unique 8 lug wheels available in 1963.
The condition of this car is good. From the pictures posted, the blue interior may just need a good cleaning. Another plus is the car is complete down to even the original jack and spare tire in the trunk. Photos of the engine compartment would have been nice. Being a car from Pennsylvania, rust may be a problem. The inclusion of the Pennsylvania bicentennial license plate adds to the charm of this car.
This is the second year Pontiac offered the Grand Prix. I think the asking price is reasonable. The sale price on a fully restored Grand Prix is on the rise. Is this your next project? Do you consider owning this Pontiac the Grand Prize (Prix)?
Yes…why doesn't he restore it?
I'd love to have it..
Mmm, hmm. True. Anyone who has ever sold a Volvo is nodding vigorously in agreement with your comment right now!.
Hey Ben, nice write up. Remember, "Hurst" only refers to the shifter and linkages. The 4-speed transmission was probably a Borg Warner T-10.
Why are people so obsessed with the jack and/or spare tire that was never used? That would be on the bottom of the list of things I'm concerned about in a classic car.
Grand Prix was bigger than the Tempest/GTO platform. It would not make a good clone, but it could be a big brother/sister.
Pontiac never really had a BIG block or a SMALL block engine. All of their V8 engines were based on the 287 cubic inch engine that came out in 1955. By boring & stroking it, they were able to take all the way to 455. Now that's what I call engineering. See attached for more information.
With an oversquare bore of 3.75 inches and stroke of 3.25 inches, the initial displacement was 287 cubic inches, but the generous 4.620-inch bore centers left plenty of room for displacement increases. The engine was soon upsized to 317 cubic inches for 1956, and by 1970 it eventually reached a whopping 455 CID. Unlike the V8s from other carmakers, there is no "small-block" or "big-block" distinction. All Pontiac V8s are based on the original 1955 architecture, regardless of displacement.
Wow – I can safely say I learned something new today.
You beat me to it! I have a 67 Grand Prix with the 400. Same external dimensions as all other Pontiac V8s!
I can only chuckle when folks say "big block" when referring to Pontiac powerplants! Must be a Chevy moniker, LOL!
When it comes to American assembled Pontiacs you are 100% correct. But there is a series of Pontiac vehicles that DID have a small block; the 1960s Canadian built versions were available with the small block Chevrolet, mostly 327 versions.
The Canadian Pontiacs were all messed up with the Pontiac & Chevy blending.
And if you thought the first V8 Pontiac was 1955, here's something that might surprise some of you. In 1932, Pontiac put a V8 in their cars. It was actually a leftover Oakland engine.
Even as the country fell into the Depression and new-car sales slumped dramatically, Pontiac was still doing relatively well; meanwhile, Oakland sales were falling precipitously. Recognizing that it had a potential winner on its hands, GM management decided to euthanize the ailing Oakland brand, rolling it into Pontiac.
This occurred as the '32 models were rolling out, and consumers were shown the new Pontiac 302-series of V-8 powered cars, which rode on the former Oakland's 117-inch wheelbase, though displaying new coachwork that maintained the outward cues of the recently restyled 402-series six-cylinder line. This yielded models that were quite regal for a car line intended to deliver value. The V-shaped grille used lots of chrome, emphasized by new free-standing, chromed headlamps that no longer utilized a tie-bar; a pair of chrome horns lent additional style, echoed by a pair of chrome-housing taillamps. The hood sides gained four ventilation doors per side, replacing the more common louvers of the prior year's model.
There were significant engineering advancements as well. The V-8 engine itself, mostly an Oakland carryover, featured a 3 7/16 x 3 3/8 bore and stroke making 251-cu.in. and 5.2:1 compression, using a one-barrel Marvel carburetor for a rating of 85hp. It was unusual in that it utilized a 180-degree, "flat-plane" crankshaft, rather than the 90-degree "cross-plane" design used by Ford and Cadillac; the resulting vibrations were quelled using a block-mounted "vibration suppression synchronizer" that pushed against the engine rhythmically to oppose its rocking motion.
Pontiac also featured new three-speed transmissions with synchronized second and high gears and a "freewheeling" device that enabled coasting when the throttle was released without depressing the clutch. For 1932, Pontiac offered Ride Control: driver-adjustable hydraulic shock absorbers, operated via a knob on the dash that altered internal valving.
But the '32 Pontiacs would soon prove to be short-lived; the series 302 models were in production for only three months. When the '33 Pontiacs debuted, eight-cylinder models boasted of an all-new straight-eight engine, now enveloped in new coachwork that borrowed many elements from the Chevrolet line. These new Pontiacs continued the trend of positive sales, but history was made with the unique '32 and its V-8 engine.
Maybe if the owner was a little more honest about the condition of the car (rust) he wouldn't have to be concerned about someone nit-picking the car. The frame appears to be rusted.
Checked the link & didn't find it !
That's a beautiful car. Back in the early 70's, my friend's mother had one like that. Her's was an auto.
Unless there's a compelling reason to keep it original, upgrade the brakes and suspension and drive it.
Wonder how seller knows steering wheel has no cracks, with that leather wrap on it? Oops, there I go nit-picking, my bad! That one shot of the frame looks consistent with Pennsylvania road salt usage, SCARY!!!!
Lost my first wife for reasons of health… She got sick of all my cars.
Bing, I know this car is a Catalina, but it still looks close.
Übercool 62 Cat you found there,IMO Pontiac's best looking fullsize ever!
Steve, I completely agree with you.
My first question for him will be if he has the original wheels, if not I will have to find some original steel wheel on Ebay or something.
I have to have my cars as original as possible.
Did I forget to tell you guys this is a 389 4 speed car from the factory?
A cool ride with just about all the right options!
I'm guessing that the seller realised how much rust there is in this particular GP and decided it was better to flick it off and help his cashflow than to make any further investments into it.
BUT , HOW'S THE FRAME ???
I own a 63 GP. I think I like that car better than any other. Great driver. Would love to own this one too, just for the 4 speed.
One of the photos shows something very crusty underneath. Pennsylvania has a strict inspection program; in the '70s, any rust-through on the frame or body would cause a car to fail. A rusty frame would explain why this car was removed from service in 1975.
This is a really nice car. If everything is on the up and up, I feel that the price on it is more than reasonable. I hope that someone grabs this little classic up in a hurry.
Oldsmobile had 2 different deck heights.
Other than deck height ,will 455 bolt in place of 350 and vice versa ?
wrong- Olds had true big block and small block, the 330-350-403 was a short deck motor, the 400-425-455 was a tall deck motor. and they all used interchangeable heads.


Where to store your extra blades, or knives?
So I just got my first vinyl cutter, an SC2 and so far it works perfectly, but I'm wishing there was somewhere to easily store the extra blades. I know on the Cricut or Cameo or some of the small cutters I've seen a little opening in the bed to put extra blades in. I'm thinking about screwing a little storage box or something to the cross brace of the stand of my SC2 to store my extra blades, an exacto knife, scissors, pick, etc... anyone else do anything like this and have a pic to share with what you put in it? My desk with cutting mat isn't right by the cutter so I'd like to have an exacto knife at the very least, right with the cutter.
On my desk that i built for all my Vinyl needs I have a small 3 drawer thing that sits on the desk the top drawer holds my Zacto knives and my squeegees and the 2nd drawer has my pen for the SC2 and my Scissors in it.
My vinyl is on the PVC stand I built on the right of the table and the Transfer tape is on the end of the table also, mounted it with PVC and works great just grab the end and pull it however long i need. this set up has worked well for me since Valentines day.. I also have LED light stripe i put under my cutter cause its just to dark hard to see where to cut the vinyl when its on the roll i don't have a picture. not sure how Primal did his I'm into Radio control and use LEDS on my planes to fly at night. so just used a stripe that would go the whole width of the machine and i power it with one of my 3 cell lipos for one of my airplanes. My cutter is on the other wall on other side of the room so having any tools hooked to it wouldn't work for me but all depends on how you have your stuff set up.
hey man, Ive not noticed much of you around lately hope all is well. Well since i really just have the one room in the house that is mine. everything is crammed into it right now. if i can ever get me a enclosed trailer most of my RC hobby gear will go out in it then i will have some extra space. Ive stopped buying sticky vinyl cause trying to push t shirts but ive held back buying lot of t shirts cause don't know what size people would need myself and my woman wear XL my mom wear Sm or med. my dad is Med. so far not made any for my parents i could make some for them.
Well I found a spot for all my stuff. I can store my extra blades, squeegee, Exacto knife, pick, and tape measure in the bin I screwed to the cross member and upright. Then I drilled some holes in the cross member to hold up to four carriage holders, a pen holder, and a scissors. I also mounted a tape dispenser on the other side just in case.
yea man, been lying low I guess. . Ive had a few issues here, most with the actual company , 2 were warranty/service issues, a couple with ordering/shipment. then just a few on here. I tried to get a resolution with the co. but no luck. the issues on here ive debated about posting something up. but I'm not 1 to stir a huge forum mess where u get all types of keyboard warriors , and opinions fired up n to a huge mess. but it has caused me to lose interest. the bad is I feel this is the best forum for what we do, especially the best for others helping out others whatever way they can. def a lot of knowledge on here. Ive looked up and joined prob most of the vinyl and t shirt forums out there on the web.

It took only 14 seconds for the Guelph Storm to find the back of the net in Sudbury on Friday night and they never let up in an impressive 5-2 win over the Wolves. Making his hometown debut in front of a huge group of family and friends, rookie Tyler Bertuzzi made the night a memorable one as he notched his first ever OHL goal.
Frank Menard opened the scoring for the visitors. After netminder Johan Mattsson misplayed a Brock McGinn dump in off the opening faceoff, Scott Kosmachuk scooped up the loose puck and dished to Menard all alone at the side of the net. The Storm added to their lead on their first man advantage of the night at 12:55 of the first. Cody McNaughton recorded his team leading fifth powerplay goal redirecting an Andrey Pedan wrist shot by Andrey Pedan. Despite the two goal cushion after twenty, it was the Wolves that owned the shots on goal advantage, but Brandon Foote stopped all eleven Sudbury attempts.
Two more goals by the 12:21 mark of the second including Bertuzzi's first and it was 4-0 Guelph before the Wolves replied. Stephen Gaskin's second of the season from Kyle Pereira proved to be the eventual winner. Then Bertuzzi notched his milestone marker taking a feed from Jason Dickinson and sliding it under Mattson. The Sudbury native's goal brought an end to Mattsson's night. While at the other end, Foote was perfect through almost 38 minutes, until Brody Silk stepped on the ice off a line change and snapped his third of the season inside the far post.
The two clubs exchanged strikes in the third with Sudbury taking advantage of one of four straight powerplays while Guelph's Scott Kosmachuk scored at even strength. McGinn picked up his second assist of the contest with a smart thread pass that sent Kosmachuk in all alone on Brendan O'Neill.
Tomorrow night, the Storm will travel to Sault Ste. Marie to face the Greyhounds before returning to home ice next Friday night for a Midwest Division tilt against the Erie Otters.

Sometime in the next few days, Tom and I are going to cut down an 80' tree.
We've never done that before, but there's a first time for everything.
Our property borders an old garage. The owner mentioned he was afraid a rotted pine might fall and damage the roof.
"Dunno," Tom said, "but we're gonna try.
Our life's been like that a lot lately. Not knowing anything but trying anyway. Like when we sat down to order seeds.
"Do cucumbers grow on a vine or a bush?" I asked.
We ordered anyway. Then we visited the local Farm Supply store and tried to figure out an organic mix.
We came up with a combination of soils to make our baby soil blocks.
After we planted our seeds in ¾ and 1½ blocks, we covered them up and checked on them like newborns.
We almost sent out birth announcements when some of our seeds sprouted.
Another thing we did and had no idea how was when Tom unpacked his super-duper-raised-bed-builder. It gathers dirt, piles it, lays irrigation hose, and covers it with black plastic. I understand the next model up does dishes.
We've never seen one of those except on YouTube videos. Tom looked at it and put it together. And then he practiced. He's learning.
I admire him. I tend to give up when the going gets tough but Tom perseveres.
And that's what farming is all about. Working and not giving up.
Pauline, you soooo have the homestead genes coursing through your veins. If you don't know how to do something, dig in and find out. Do you still grow tobacco on your farm? I've heard that not just any body that wants to grow tobacco can get permission to grow it. It's a very closed loop crop. Now as for the tree. I would get some good advice on that. Trees can be killers. They twist and turn in some very unpredictable ways. I've been on many chain saw crews after hurricane and tornado disasters and can tell you that a tree of that magnitude is something that will need much safety. If you can rent a cherry picker lift to top off the upper branches first, that would be the best way to tackle a big tree. The best of luck with your homestead endeavors. Have a great day in the garden.
