I'm so glad HBO officially launched a YouTube channel on Monday, because had I not been poking through their videos, I might have completely missed tonight's premiere of The Gates. The documentary traces artists Christo and Jean-Claude's 26-year-battle to convince New York City to let them set up their art installation "The Gates," a set of more than 7,500 metal gates with billowing orange fabric that wound through Central Park for 16 days in February 2005.
I've seen a previous film by the same filmmakers about Christo and Jean-Claude's "Running Fence" project, and it was a fascinating look at how hard the artists will push and how much they believe in their work — however fleeting the results might be.

Warming up before exercise and cooling down after are just as important as the exercise itself. By properly warming up the muscles and joints with low-level aerobic movement for 5 to 10 minutes, one may avoid injury and build endurance over time. Cooling down after exercise by walking slowly, then stretching muscles, may also prevent strains and blood pressure fluctuation.
