...k about whether the PS3 games console deserves its price tag. This can look bad quickly for Sony because reviews show that PS3's Blu-ray-supported graphics are only equal to that of the cheaper consoles. If there are differences, these are highly indistinct, unless you want to spend game time analyzing the graphic pixels. Even the controller is deemed inferior to that of the PS1 from seven years ago.

In fact, the Wii sports a much better controller. Also, Howard's potential-based argument is stretched too thin and poorly supported. What if the new PS3 didn't reach its full potential?

PS3 games enthusiasts need more fuel for their cause. Meantime, do you know what I'm excited to hear about? Peter Moore's response to Sony's "potential".

The Sun Salutation is actually a series of asanas, but it provides an excellent introduction to yoga and is a terrific full-body workout. I use it to get back into yoga if I have not practiced for a while. I also use it as a warm-up for exercising. It stretches all your muscles, adds an element of balancing and breathing, and gets the blood flowing.

Here is a quick overview of the Sun Salutation. This article is not long enough to give detailed descriptions of the poses. However, a good introductory text to yoga should have descriptions and usually photos or drawings of the postures.

Start by standing straight up, with feet together, hands together in a prayer-like pose on...more
