Bikram Restart after India Vacation

I want to report on my Bikram Yoga so it motivates me to keep going. After coming back from my vacation in India, I had to go to Wash., DC for training and that disrupted my Bikram for a few days. I restarted Bikram on 6/26/13. I hope to continue going everyday non-stop.

New method of recording my yoga sessions. Rather than show how many days I attended I will now show only what days I missed and what days I did a double.

start count from 6/26/13
My week starts on Sunday.

Missed two days due to Niagara travel (8/16/2014 Sat and 8/17/2014 Sun).
I am hoping to make up in October the three missed days (one due to Ithaca and two due to Niagara) by doubles.

Double on 9/24/2014 Wed: 9:30 AM Lilly's class and 4:30 PM Leo's class.
Double on 10/1/2014 Wed: 9:30 AM Lilly's class and 4:30 PM Leo's class.
Double on 10/8/2014 Wed: 9:30 AM Lilly's class and 4:30 PM Leo's class.

10/13/2014 474 days

Update on 3/19/2015:
I have gone to Bikram nonstop except the Yoga place canceled all yoga classes three days this winter.
I have done doubles on two days to make up two snow days. One more day to make up!
1/26/15 - all classes canceled.
1/27/15 - all classes canceled.
3/1/15 - did double Lilly taught both classes (8 and 10am on Sat)
3/5/15 - all classes canceled.
3/18/15 - did double Ian's class (9:30am) and Leo's class (4:30pm)
3/26/15 - did double Christine (9:30am) and Jess (5:00pm)

So, have caught up with missed classes!

3/30/15 - missed class due to meetings. Have to make it up sometime.
5/2/15 Sat - missed class to attend Usha's wedding.

5/6/15 did double Sam(9:30 AM) and Leo( 4:30 PM)

Still need to do one more double to catch up.

Yes, did it!
6/10/2015: did double (Ian's 9:30 am and 11:30 am classes).  Now I am caught up to date.

6/21/2015: went to Ian's class in the morning and Solstice in Times Square, NYC. The latter was Bikram yoga in the open in Times Square. Also happened to be the first International Yoga Day.
So, I have an extra double for a future occasion.

Biography of Sri Hiriannaiah

I read the following biography of Sri Hiriannaiah at http://rajchat.info/vasudeva_kutumbukam/7_two_exemplary_officerst.html. Sri Hiriannaiah also belonged to Bobburkamme sect and most probably our family is related to his family, exactly how I don't know but may learn in the future. What was interesting is the propensity of descendants of Sri Kalappa to pursue law and serve in justice profession. The entire biography is copied from the above source. " Sakleshpur Hirianniah (S. Hirianniah for short) was born on 24th of June 1877 in Sakleshpura which is a taluq headquarters town in Hassan district. The taluq is situated in the high mountainous area of the Western Ghats, The mountains are covered by tropical forests where grow teakwood, rosewood, sandalwood and other tropical trees, and there is very heavy rain during the monsoon months. The ground under the trees are covered by all sorts of plants and creepers an...

My MOOC Progress

I finished my first MOOC course "Introduction to Mathematical Thinking" taught by Keith Devlin of Stanford, an outstanding professor. It was a tough course! I am almost half done with "Introduction to Genetics and Evolution" taught Mohammed Noor, another outstanding professor from Duke. I have already learned a great deal from this course. This is a tough course too. Believe it or not, I have signed up another 16 MOOCs! Within a month, three courses will be starting; Think Again: How to Reason and Argue , Introduction to Astronomy , Drugs and the Brain .  The New York Times called 2012, the year of the MOOCs, see http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/04/education/edlife/massive-open-online-courses-are-multiplying-at-a-rapid-pace.html?pagewanted=all&_r=1&.

401K, 403B Rollover into an IRA

I am trying to gather info on the IRA rollover. I am piecing together info I found on the web. 1. Can I Use an IRA Rollover to Move Funds Out of My Company Retirement Plan While I Still Work There? Probably not. Most company retirement plans do not allow you to roll funds out of the plan while you are still employed. To find out if they do, you can call your plan sponsor, and ask if they allow what is called an "in-service distribution". Does AT&T allow? Does TIAA/CREF allow? An in-service distribution is a different type of transaction than a loan or hardship withdrawal. An in-service distribution is a transaction where you can rollover a portion of funds in your plan into a self-directed IRA account while you are still employed. Only some plans allow this. No Longer Employed Once you are no longer employed, it may make sense to roll funds from your plan into an IRA account. At that time, to avoid tax withholding, you'll want to choo...
