eHow has some pointers and videos on how to give good back massages.
I’ll need to read up on that one for sure.
Thanks to Lifehacker for the heads up.
According to eHow: The many benefits of massage include relaxation, stress management, postural balance, increased body awareness and emotional comfort, improved circulation, and improved lymphatic drainage for release of toxins.

Merger of Sirius and XM may increase package options
From CNet: If the proposed merger of XM Satellite Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio goes through, the combined company plans to offer packages of channels at reduced rates, including a 50-channel offering that’s almost half the price of today’s lowest-price option.

CNet says that while the FCC is debating the merger of Sirius and XM, the companies have said they will offer several packages that give consumers a variety of listening options from both of the satellite radio providers, including an all inclusive package that would give programming from both companies for less than $17 a month.
Gas down, Starbucks up
According to ABC News last night, the average price of gasoline has dropped 9-cents across the country over the last week.
But don’t get too excited, the price of Starbucks Coffee is going up 9-cents.
That’s a $32.85 increase over last year for a daily caffeine pick me up.
Folgers is sounding better and better.
Voters take control of the debate
I didn’t get a chance to watch it last night – I even forgot to DVR it – but according to CNet, the CNN/YouTube DNC debate went over well last night.

Tim and Dennis on WWE
Tim Storm and Apocalypse were on WWE TV progamming this past week a couple different times.
Both were on RAW Monday night as security guards to break up a fight between John Cena and Bobby Lashley.
The next night on ECW, Storm was in a squash match with Big Daddy V (Viscera). Incidentally, Viscera was Storm’s third wrestling match ever when he got started in the business.
Apoc also showed up on Smackdown as a “sad clown” who got punched in the face by Kane during a Mardi Gras segment with Edge.
There was a photo of Apoc on the front page of WWE.com last week but it’s since been taken down and I haven’t been able to find it again.
Doh.
