<br/><br/></p>
<p>The current deal is simple: <strong>if you like them on facebook, you get a free 1 week unlimited membership with unlimited access to videos on their website.</strong> I&#8217;ve done about 15 videos and enjoyed them all.  Totally got my a** handed to me by a girl in a few of them.  In a week, you could easily get in a couple free online classes in and if you&#8217;ve never done yoga before (like me), it&#8217;s a great way to get a taste of what yoga practice is all about. </p>
<p>Note that this deal only works for folk that are not already members.  If you are already a member, comment below and I will hook you up! (Just make sure you enter your email address so I can email you).<br />
<br/><br/><br />
Anyway, now that you&#8217;ve barely read any of that stuff above and are ready to get a free week, all you have to do is</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In e-mail from Microsoft employees, you may find a stray J like this one from my sister:</p>

<p><strong><strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Century Gothic; color: navy;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy;">ABC- autism behaviour consulting</span></span></strong></strong></p>
<p>&#8212;-</p>
<p>What&#8217;s the deal with the J you ask?</p>
<p>The J started out its life as a smiley-face. The <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/font.aspx?FID=16&amp;FNAME=Wingdings"> WingDings</a> font puts a smiley face where the letter J goes. Here, let me try: <code>&lt;FONT FACE=WingDings&gt;J&lt;/FONT&gt;</code> results in <span style="font-family: WingDings;">J</span>. As the message travels from machine to machine, the font formatting may get lost or mangled, resulting in the letter J appearing when a smiley face was intended. (Note that this is not the same as the smiling face incorporated into Unicode as U+263A, which looks like this: ☺. Some of you might see it; others might not.)</p>
<p>I recall a story (possibly apocryphal) of somebody who regularly exchanged a lot of e-mail with Microsoft employees and who as a result started signing their own messages with a J, figuring this was some sort of Microsoft slang. The Microsoft employees who got the J-messages scratched their heads until they were able to figure out how their correspondent arrived at this fabulous deduction.</p>
<p>And now, the mysterious J has come full circle, because some people use it ironically, intentionally just writing a J without setting the font, in the same way people making fun of &#8220;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet">leet</a>&#8221; writing may &#8220;accidentally&#8221; type &#8220;1&#8243;s (or even more absurdly, the word &#8220;one&#8221;) into a row of exclamation points.</p>
