travel yoga?

What kind of yoga sequence should I do while traveling? I usually heat up a room with a space heater and do the Bikram sequence at home (this takes me about an hour to complete). I'm going to be traveling Wednesday-Sunday and I want to practice yoga while I am gone from home.

Problems are that I won't have a space heater and I won't have a yoga mat. I don't have the correct financial/time situation to attend yoga studios at my destination. Also, on Wednesday I will basically be in an airplane or at an airport all day.

My goals are to generally feel good, to be able to resume my normal practice when I get home without feeling too stiff, and not to hurt myself. That said, what sequence of asanas would be the best for me to do on my trip?

What is the tightening sequence for my oil leaking car?

Valve Cover Tightening Sequence for a 1991 Ford Escort GT? I know it exists because I had to do this once before, and I'm pretty sure I used the wrong torque because I was using a torque wrench with ft/lb and not in/lb. I'm set to do it correctly now, but I seem to have lost the diagram I had to do it before.

I have a 1991 Ford Escort GT, 1.8 DOHC.

How can I generate 1,000 one-time-use codes for my website?

So I'm releasing a full-length CD on my brand new record label. And with it, I want to offer a bonus, download-only live EP available to those who purchase the full-length. How the hell am I going to pull that off? We're pressing 1,000 copies of the CD. As far as I can tell, I need to:

1. Generate 1,000 unique, random sequences of numbers and/or letters, preferably both.

2. Print these sequences onto 1,000 copies of the CD booklet (one per booklet, obviously). I work at a copy shop, and we'll be printing these there. I think I have a handle on how to pull this off, but just for the record, the booklet is being built using InDesign.

3. (and this is where I'm completely outside my field of knowledge) Build something into the label's website that would check the sequence a visitor enters against our list, grant or deny access to the files accordingly, and then delete matching sequences from our list after they've been entered once.

Like I said, I think I have a handle on 2, and I can't imagine that 1 could be too hard to accomplish. Your answers to 3 will probably make no sense to me, and that's fine. They'll be supplied to the person building the website.

please hope me

What is the next number in this sequence: 4, 58, 40, 27, 18, 12, 8, ? Please give your explanation. Came up on this question in an aptitude test and it stumped me.
