because working out legs is pretty damn exhausting... also, at 6', 172 lbs I'd imagine you're not really eating as much as you should. It could be not drinking enough water or not eating enough, or a million other things.
I was told by a couple of older brahs that old school gyms used to keep buckets next to every squat station, so if you're getting a little dizzy and you feel like vomiting don't stop, just make sure there's a garbage can near by

Normally, it would be due to a conditioning issue. And, while it still could be, the fact that you've been experiencing this issue for nearly a year suggests it could be something else: your diet, hydration, etc.Bodybuilding is 60% training and 50% diet. Yes that adds up to 110%, because that's what you should be giving it. Change the inside, and the physique will follow.

if the weight youre lifting seems sensible to you, the symptoms *may* appear if you have a medical condition such as low iron in blood, anemia or abnormalities in blood pressure, affecting the oxygen flow especially during leg exercise.
a simple blood test may answer that

If you're taking a pre-workout supplement, stop using it and see if that cures the problem.
If you're eating a big meal right before training, dont.
If you're training fasted, try eating a small meal an hour or two before training.
If you're holding your breath during an entire set, rather than taking a breath between reps, stop holding your breath.
If you huff and puff like a steam engine during your workout, you're out of condition; start doing some cardio.
If none of the above helps, you may have some medical issue. See your doc.
or is this normalNo brain, no gain.
You can't out-train bad nutrition.

The same thing used to happen to me while I was still able to train intensely. The theory I learned and makes sense (but cannot back up scientifically at the moment):
The three main consumers of oxygen are your muscles, your digestive system and your brain. During a high intensity workout your muscles are going to be screaming for more oxygen. So the body has to redirect some of the oxygen flow from other sources. Seeing as the other main sources are your digestive system and your brain, but your body will always prioritize the brain you won't get as much oxygen into your digestive system. I'm not acquainted with the specifics of this part but because of the reduced oxygen flow to your digestive system you get that nausea effect.
So if you improve your cardiovascular system you should be able to have more intense workout sessions.

I would guess that your body isnt "set up" right to do squatting movements properly and its taxing you much more engergy. Do you find you have bad balance, and poor hamstring flexibility? Or your quad development imbalanced or not as good as you want?
If that sounds like you, you have to fix up these problems before you find your squats start improving, man there is a nigh/day difference for me compared to when I had these probs. hope that helps

I get the burps after going hard on a set. My stomach doesn't feel upset, but I defiantly feel the food coming up if I dont burp cautiously... Leg muscles equal BIG, when you work muscles blood goes to them...Too much blood in the legs can result in oxygen deficit in the brain which could be the reason you are nausea, although I normally just get dizzy. And I do not recommend holding your breath the whole way through a set....you will get VERY dizzy and possibly collapse.

One arrives by ferry. The dark pines rise up from the water’s edge, sheltering from view the light-filled art museum at the top of the hill: Artipelag—its name an amalgamation of Art, Activities, and Archipelago. One of Stockholm’s foremost attractions, Artipelag is a privately-owned art space renowned for its boundary-crossing art exhibits.
The recent “Morandi/Edmund de Waal” exhibition was no exception. Mirroring its surroundings, everything about this exhibition was designed to inspire stillness, encourage contemplation, and amplify the sounds of silence. To experience the Morandi/Edmund de Waal exhibition was to divorce oneself from the chaos of the modern world.
Both artists—one a painter, the other who calls himself a simple potter (despite being able to boast solo shows at the Royal Academy in London and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, not to mention holding the title of Officer of the Order of the British Empire)—share a singular vision that spans decades of laser-focused practice.
Matching a goliath like Giorgio Morandi with a partner of equal intellectual and creative gravitas is a risky undertaking, fraught with the potential for negative comparisons. The frenzied global interest in Morandi (1890–1964) and his oeuvre is relatively recent in art-historical terms. Morandi is the antithesis of today’s brash, attention-seeking artists who are compelled to produce shocking works in a bid to get noticed. The most shocking thing about Morandi is the fact that, for over 40 years, he rarely left his family home in Bologna, Italy. There, he created a prolific body of work almost exclusively representing the same dozen or so household objects. This world of things is full of small epiphanies, wrote Morandi, who is now considered the greatest Still-Life painter of the 20th century.
In Edmund de Waal, the curators found an inimitable partner for Morandi, although the former accepted the mantle with some trepidation: “I struggle to find the right word. Conversation, dialog, homage, installation, and intervention are such harsh art-world terms. I feel great anxiety and tenderness about bringing my own work into such proximity with Morandi.”
Edmund de Waal was born in England the year Morandi died. Coincidence or a ghostly passing of the baton? Both artists found a lifetime’s worth of contemplation and inspiration in groupings of simple objects. The words serene, otherworldly, ethereal, aesthetically rigorous and conceptually abstract can be interchangeably used to describe the works of both men. And aside from sharing a restrained palette, there are other uncanny overlaps: de Waal’s medium of choice is porcelain, while many of the vases, bowls, and lidded containers painted by Morandi were made of clay.
The exhibition begins in an immense, white-cube space designed to accommodate massive installations, but instead is dedicated to de Waal’s encased groupings of monochromatic, understated little pots. A small Morandi painting hangs alone on a dove gray wall, a taste of what is to come. The artful layout veers dangerously close to the sort of undesirable preciousness that activist and potter, Ayumi Horie, calls “the prissy untouchability of a china cabinet” were it not for the historical and personal significance that de Waal invests in each bowl and vessel.
“I’m asked again and again about why I make vessels again and again. Why sit low-down on my potter’s wheel . . . turn to my left and pick up a small ball of porcelain clay, throw it into the center of a revolving wheel, wet my hands, bring them together over the clay and start another vessel? Don’t you get bored? I’m asked. They are so simple, just cylinders, a few centimeters high, barely inflected forms a slight change of energy at the rim. You use the same clay, the same wheel, the same few tools. My answer is that to spend time is to explore time,” de Waal explains.
De Waal does not restrict himself to conventional framing devices. One of the most thought-provoking works was a cluster of rectangular pillars, solid below mid-point, with frosted glass above, so that the top half of each monolith revealed shadowed silhouettes of vessels enclosed within. Similarly, ceiling-suspended, frosted glass containers allowed the viewer to glimpse the darkened underside of the pots hoisted up high. These translucent shapes are as close a visual rendition of dreams and memories as one can get; fleeting glimpses of blurred shapes that fail to totally materialize, remaining firmly out of grasp.
Throughout the exhibition, there is an implicit tension between the tactile nature of pottery that begs to be fondled and used, and the conscious distance imposed by de Waal’s vitrines. In many of the works, de Waal has juxtaposed neatly hewn slabs of iridescent onyx or marble amongst the delicate, paper-thin porcelain pots. The potential for the former to crush the latter introduces a subtle power play between materials. One such grouping, displayed on a simple L-bracket shelf, creates a tableau of the most exquisite simplicity that somehow manages to be more than the sum of its parts. Three precisely cut slabs of white marble almost conceal a small porcelain plate resting upright against the back of the shelf. The tableau glows mysteriously as if lit from within, until one approaches and sees that de Waal has glazed the back of the plate with gold so that it casts an ethereal light on the white objects, and creates a diffused golden shadow.
The titles that de Waal selects for his still life assemblages—the reader, music in thirteen parts, another hour—hint at the artist’s other creative channels. Even if one did not know that he throws his repetitive forms on the wheel while immersed in the sounds of music, there is a semblance of musical score in the way that the pots are arranged inside their vitrines. De Waal has composed his own mélodie en porcelaine. Imagine the shelves to be the horizontal lines of musical score and the pots, the notes. An accomplished author, de Waal imbues his work with literary context as well as verbal expression. Snaking across one of the gallery walls, a long string of sentences, transcribed by the artist himself, convey his personal thoughts about Morandi.
In Paul Mathieu’s review of de Waal’s newly published monograph, he asks the question most of us surreptitiously wonder: What is de Waal’s secret to success? After all, this is someone whose whole work could be summarized, glibly yet correctly, as that of a potter who makes blank cylinders placed on shelves. I believe the reason may lie in the promise of endless possibilities—found in de Waal’s use of repetitive porcelain forms as well as Morandi’s obsessively re-configured still life groupings. This exhibition exemplifies the dignity of simple objects and the rich rewards gained from slowing down, treading softly, and living mindfully.

The third book in the War Stories of the Seven Troublesome Sisters series by S.R. Cronin is here! Read an exclusive excerpt from She's the One That Who Gets in Fights and then download your own copy. Be sure to visit the rest of the tour for even more sneak peeks. Remember to leave your comments and questions along the way. Best of luck in the giveaway!
Do you know what your problem is?
Sulphur knows hers. This 13th-century woman has trained as a fighter all her life in hopes of joining the army. Then, within days, both of her older sisters announce plans and suddenly Sulphur is expected to find a man to marry instead.
Is it her good fortune her homeland is gripped by fear of a pending invasion and the army now goes door to door encouraging recruits? Sulphur thinks it is. But once she’s forced to kill in a small skirmish, she’s ready to rethink her career decision. Too bad it’s too late. The invasion is coming, and Ilari needs every good soldier it has.
Once Sulphur learns Ilari’s army has made the strategic decision to not defend certain parts of the realm, including the one where her family lives, she has to re-evaluate her loyalty. Is it with the military she’s always admired? Or is it with her sisters, who are hatching a plan to defend their homeland with magic?
The problem with being a woman who fights for what’s right is that now, she has to figure out what is.
(The War Stories of the Seven Troublesome Sisters consists of seven short companion novels. Each tells the personal story and perspective of one of seven radically different sisters in the 1200s as they prepare for an invasion of their realm. While these historical fantasy/alternate history books can be enjoyed as stand-alone novels, together they tell the full story of how Ilari survived.)
(trigger warning – suicidal thoughts)
All four of my younger sisters busied themselves adjusting to the new family order and wondering what would happen next. Our youngest two returned to school two days after the wedding, while the twins settled back into the lives they created as unmarried young women with artistic pursuits. I guessed they both had lovers they’d kept hidden to spare my feelings in much the same way Coral had kept her relationship with Davor quiet until Ryalgar left.
If I could do nothing else, I had to stop this nonsense. Unlike Ryalgar, I had no desire to marry, and I didn’t think I ever would. Marriage didn’t seem compatible with the life of a soldier, I found most domestic chores boring beyond belief, and I had no desire to raise a child. So, my younger sisters needed to get on with their lives, and I had to find a way to make a graceful exit from a world that didn’t appear to have a place for a woman like me.
The not-having-a-place-for-me thing stung, to be honest, and after an ank or two it became all I could focus on. As the days shortened, the feeling grew until it crowded out everything else. I didn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep, and I considered ending my life. I’m not proud of the fact, but it was easy enough to conclude the whole family would be better off without the problem of what to do with Sulphur.
But I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t even get myself to focus on a way of doing it. Oddly enough, I had Ryalgar and the Mongols to thank for it.
When I’d been in the forest, Ryalgar and I discussed these thieves from the east. I’d confided in her about my dreams of joining the Svadlu and discovered she knew more about the dangers our realm faced than I’d have guessed. She didn’t want to hide in the forest while others raided our homeland, and she sought her own way to help protect Ilari.
She and I agreed our realm would need all the fighters it could get. So, the idea of having potential soldiers, good soldiers, die by their own hand before the battle began made no sense to me, even amid my despondency. For all that I wanted to force everyone, especially Davor, to feel guilty about my lack of choices, I also didn’t want my life to end stupidly. I wanted my life to end in glory, dying for those I loved. Or perhaps not dying at all, at least not for a long while
So I held on tight to the idea that Ilari might need me, despite everything, and that bit of light got me thru the darkest of those times.

Mayor Bowser Releases District’s Plan to End Opioid Epidemic
(WASHINGTON, DC) – Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser and the DC Department of Behavioral Health announced the release of LIVE. LONG. DC., the District’s strategic plan to reduce opioid use and misuse and to reduce opioid-related deaths by 50 percent by 2020.
“This plan outlines how District agencies will work with our public and community partners to tackle DC’s opioid epidemic,” said Mayor Bowser. “We know that the opioid epidemic in our city looks different than how the epidemic is talked about nationwide. This plan was created in response to the specific needs of our community and focuses our resources on increasing awareness and prevention, enhancing treatment offerings, and strengthening recovery supports.”
Created by a public-private working group of more than 40 stakeholders, LIVE. LONG. DC. outlines strategies to address the opioid epidemic through prevention, treatment, and recovery supports. Even as the plan was under development, ideas sparked from the working group were put into practice right away and so several of the strategic approaches are already well underway.
The plan’s seven goals include:
- Goal 1: Reduce legislative and regulatory barriers to create a comprehensive surveillance and response that supports sustainable solutions to emerging trends in substance use disorder, opioid-related overdoses, and opioid-related fatalities.
- Goal 2: Educate District residents and key stakeholders on the risks of opioid use disorders and effective prevention and treatment options.
- Goal 3: Engage health professionals and organizations in the prevention and early intervention of substance use disorder among District residents.
- Goal 4: Support the awareness and availability of, and access to, harm reduction services in Washington, DC.
- Goal 5: Ensure equitable and timely access to high-quality substance use disorder treatment and recovery support services.
- Goal 6: Develop and implement a shared vision between Washington, DC’s justice and public health agencies to address the needs of individuals who come in contact with the criminal justice system to develop a culture of empathy for residents and their families.
- Goal 7: Develop effective law enforcement strategies that reduce the supply of illegal opioids in Washington, DC.
“By employing evidence-based strategies and promising practices, LIVE. LONG. DC. will serve as the roadmap for us to enhance the work that we all do to create prevention, treatment, and recovery strategies that reduce opioid use disorder in the District,” said Dr. LaQuandra Nesbitt, Interim Director of the DC Department of Behavioral Health. “We have been consistent in making progress and this brings us closer to meeting our goal.”
Much of the plan’s work will be supported by $21 million through the State Opioid Response (SOR) grant, disbursed over a one-year period, from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Washington, DC will receive an additional $21 million, for a total of $42 million over two years, from the grant during the next federal fiscal year. The SOR grant will help to:
- increase access to medication-assisted treatment, which combines behavioral therapy and medications to treat opioid use disorders;
- reduce unmet treatment needs; and
- lower opioid overdose related deaths through the provision of prevention, treatment, and recovery activities, including for heroin, illicit fentanyl and fentanyl analogs, and prescription opioids.
Additional federal grants will be used to fund the plan. The Prescription Drug Overdose: Data-Driven Prevention Initiative (DDPI), a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) grant, supports the District’s ability to improve community prevention programs and data collection and analysis around opioid misuse, abuse, and overdose. The CDC funded Public Health Crisis NOFO grant provides $3.7 million to build Washington, DC’s capacity to respond to unusual surges of opioid overdoses and augment existing surveillance and prevention efforts.
The plan will complement the DC Government’s existing interagency work to reduce opioid use disorder that includes improving data and surveillance, expanding access to life-saving harm reduction best practices, and educating residents on risks and treatment options through innovative public campaigns.

London: The Wisden Trophy that is contested between England and West Indies in Test cricket, is to be replaced by a new trophy named after Sir Vivian Richards and Sir Ian Botham.
England will face West Indies in the final Wisden Trophy meeting today in Manchester, the third and series decider.
ECB announced that the two teams will then compete for the Richards-Botham Trophy when they next meet in a Test series.
“I am delighted to know that the game that I have shown my love for since a little boy is naming such a prestigious award in recognition of what I managed to achieve as a cricketer,” Richards said.
“When I had the opportunity to go to England and represent Somerset, one of the first people I met was Ian Botham, who would later become of one my best friends. We are friends for life,” he added.
“Playing the West Indies was always one of the toughest tests in cricket, and it’s an honor for this trophy to bear our names,” Botham said.
“I hope future series will be just as exciting as the one we’ve all been enjoying this summer,” he added.
The Wisden Trophy will now be retired and displayed at Lord’s Museum. West Indies won the trophy 14 times since the Wisden Trophy was first awarded, and held it for 27 years between 1973 and 2000.
England have claimed nine times and four series have ended in a draw. West Indies are the current holders as they beat England 2-1 last year.

After a long court battle and an ugly fistfight outside her house, Halle Berry and her ex Gabriel Aubry appear to have settled their key differences over custody of 4 ½-year-old daughter Nahla – for now.
"The parties have reached an amicable agreement," read a written statement held up by attorney Blair Berk, who represents Berry, after a hearing Thursday in Los Angeles. "There will be no further statements regarding this matter."
Aubry, wearing a black sport coat with dark sunglasses to mask his bruised face, was present, but Berry and her fiancé Olivier Martinez did not attend.
Just exactly what they agreed to – earlier issues ranged from residency to restraining orders – wasn't known.
But the deal was worked out on the same day an emergency protective order issued against Aubry was to expire. That order barred him from seeing his daughter or going anywhere near Berry and Martinez.
It's also unclear whether Aubry's restraining order against Martinez, filed Monday, remains in effect or if it had been, or will be, withdrawn.
Meanwhile, LAPD Commander Andrew Smith tells PEOPLE the Thanksgiving Day altercation between Aubry and Martinez is still under investigation. "Our officers have initially concluded that Aubry was the primary instigator," he says, but adds it's too early to say whether the case will be referred to prosecutors.


Empty Bowls event at Nicolet College raises nearly $2,500 for area food pantries
A half dozen area food pantries recently received donations from the money raised at the Empty Bowls event held earlier this year at Nicolet College. In all, Empty Bowls raised $2,444 and each organization received $407.
The fundraising event at Nicolet consisted of a meal of soup and bread served in hand-made bowls, which those attending got to keep.
Area potters volunteered their time to make more than 200 bowls for the event and Nicolet College Culinary Arts students prepared the meal.
Along with Wind-Norton, others from the Nicolet Faculty Association who volunteered included Ethan Blue, Barb Buckel, Joel DeNamur, Paul Ehlers, Jolene Johnson Vanden Elzen, Ocie Kilgus, Kari Krueger, Vicki Mendham, Mark Nebgen, and Mike Umlor. Other Nicolet volunteers included Vicki Severson, Julie Frederickson, Bob Kanyusik, and Rose Prunty.

On May 2nd, 2017, Divya M., a Business Management student, and Shawn M., a Business Administration student, represented the Humber Business School at the Skills Ontario Competition held at the Toronto Congress Centre.
The two students competed in the IT Office Software Application post-secondary category and were selected and coached by Business School faculty members Kelly Archibald and Hilda Gregorian. We’re very proud to announce that Divya M. came in third place in the competition and was awarded a bronze medal.
Skills Ontario is the largest skilled trade and technology competition in Canada. The competition’s mandate is to offer students the opportunity to showcase their unique skills and talents, as well as to foster their excitement about entering a career in a skilled trade.
Congratulations to both Divya and Shawn for their hard work and success at the competition. Also, special thanks to Carl Oliver and Tina Antunes from the School of Applied Technology for bringing the competition to the Business School’s attention and for generously arranging the competitor's accommodations.
While we are pleased with our achievement, next year we look forward to bringing home gold.

She was an ND accounting student of a
polytechnic in Lagos. Her secondary school
friend was also in the same department as her.
She is not so close to her friend. The friend
has some strange things around her which made
her try as much as she can to distance herself
from the friend.
The friend once told her that she sees the
scorpion on her birthday. No matter where the friend
is on her birthday she must see a scorpion.
That sounded strange to her. She felt the friend
ought to do something about it. The school organised
a beach get together once. She and her friend went
to the beach with the other students.
The friend looked at the water and said she will
drown if she touches the water. The statement was so
heavy nobody doubted it. The friend stayed far off
the water till they all got back to school.
For these reasons and some others, she stayed off
more from the friend. Whenever the friend offered
her something to eat she turned it down. One day
she brought cake and offered her. As usual, she
turned it down. It was as if the friend was waiting for it.
Friend: "I knew you would reject it.
I had noticed that you don't take things
from me like you used to"
She: "it's not so. I just don't feel
like eating cake"
Friend: "eat this one and remove my doubt
that you don't take things from me again."
She fell for it. She collected the cake from her and ate.
That very night she dreamt that the friend gave her cake
and it turned to Amala (Yam flour) in her mouth.
She woke up the following morning with a severe cough.
She didn't link the cough to the dream. She thought
it was just a normal cough like any other. She went to
the pharmacy for a cough syrup. She completed the bottle
of cough syrup the cough did not go. People started
suggesting stuff to use that will cure the cough.
Bitter cola, honey, lime and quicklime amongst other
things were recommended for the cough cure.
Nothing worked. It got worse.
Her sister decided to take her to the hospital.
Maybe the cough is a symptom of some unknown disease.
The doctor tested and treated her for malaria.
Some antibiotics were also given.
The cough reduced minimally.
Immediately the dose is completed the cough resumed.
It was getting to weeks now.
Then she started thinking it is not ordinary.
Seems village people are involved.
Her mum attends a white garment church.
She informed her mum of the cough.
The first question her mum asked is if she
had any strange dream around the time the cough
started. She then recalled the dream she had.
She told her mum the dream. Her mum took her to
the white garment prophet. The prophet went into
trance and revealed that she had been poisoned
by her friend. That her friend wanted to initiate
her into an occult. She was confused
by this revelation.
Why would someone poison a new member to be?
Besides she had not seen the friend since the
cough started. The friend does not come to school
regularly. Also, she had not had any dream after
that first one. The prophet gave her a mixture he
She used it as directed but the cough persisted.
She was fed up and embarrassed with the cough.
The cough became a nuisance.
Everyone around her kept asking "you still cough?"
It has been going on to six months that she was coughing.
A friend of hers that attend the fire ministry
brought anointing oil to her one day.
The friend told her she will be healed after
taking the oil if she believes.
She was ready to believe anything to be healed.
She took the oil with faith. The cough did not go
immediately. It took some time.
She could not tell exactly when she stopped coughing.
All she knows was that she realised
she stopped coughing after a while.
She wondered what exactly cured her of that cough.

A Note From Beverly's Desk — Time to Celebrate
Happy Fall, everyone!
As you probably already know, we tend to focus on the bright side of things here at Leap 'N Learn. We feel infinitely grateful for a career that brings us so much joy, and we love taking time to appreciate all of the things that make us happy. Sure, like any business owner we have our struggles, but at the same time, our positive attitude often leads to overcoming those obstacles. With the holiday season kicking off, we are in a festive spirit, but before we get to Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's, I wanted to share some of the more dance-related reasons why we are celebrating right now —
1. Classes are in full swing at our studio. All of you know about my dance studio, The Ballet Studio (TBS), and most of you are aware of the newest part of this business, Lafayette School of Performing Arts (LSPA), but we are still getting the word out about this locally in Lafayette. This is the first year we've fully moved over to using only our new and improved studio location too. Changes like these require an adjustment period, so we are balancing the strong reputation and awareness of TBS while introducing LSPA and our new variety of classes including music, theatre, aerial silks, and gymnastics. It's been a blast seeing students in both dance classes and in these other new offerings, and the ease of having only one location again sure is nice. How is your dance year going so far? Have you ever changed names at your studio or gone through a transitional period like this?
2. We love our dance students! After much encouragement from my good friend Sam Beckford, I hosted a student appreciation party at The Ballet Studio and Lafayette School of Performing Arts to show my students how much they mean to us. While we'd always love more students, we never take for granted the ones we have, especially those families that have been taking classes at our studio for multiple years. We gave away branded t-shirts with both The Ballet Studio and Lafayette School of Performing Arts logos to each student and sticker decals to each family for their cars (which not only act as thank you gifts, but also help us increase brand awareness for LSPA and its relationship to TBS). We also had lots of food, games, prizes, and fun. You can check out some of the activities on our newest Pinterest board. Feel free to ask us if you have questions about what we did or would like suggestions for hosting your own party — we're happy to share even more of our ideas and resources with all of you. Have you hosted events at your studio recently; what activities did you include? How do you show your dance families that you appreciate them?
3. Our newest hire is finally official. Finding incredible dance teachers is one of our biggest challenges (we're talking more about it in this month's Dance Discussion), so we're beyond excited to welcome a new member to the TBS staff. His name is Dadier Aguilera Ramos. The long story short is that his brother who works for my son performed a perfect port de bras standing in first position, and I asked him how he knew how to do that. He answered that his brother graduated from the Cuban National Ballet School, was in a company there, and was currently dancing professionally in Brazil. I knew that type of talent would be amazing to have at TBS. We talked to him about the opportunity to work for us, encouraged him to move to Lafayette, and the rest was history. We were hoping to have him start teaching classes at the beginning of the year, but we had to wait for his paperwork to be processed for working in the states... and it finally has been approved! This situation partly fell in our laps through coincidence, but it also meant a lot of hard work and patience while working through the legal aspects of hiring someone from another country. Thankfully, it paid off, and now I'll be able to scale back some of my own teaching hours to spend more time on other things that need my attention. If you want to talk more about building the best staff, please head on over to this Dance Discussion.
All in all, we're glad to have all these reasons to celebrate. And we'd love to know what you're celebrating too. Leave a comment below, and let's get in the mood for a thankful holiday season together.


Museums push to decode Leonardo da Vinci
Elusive and prolific, the artist-inventor owns a pop-culture profile that both lures and detracts.
Ccourtesy of the da vinci experience, llc
The San Diego Air & Space Museum, normally devoted to airplanes and astronauts, is offering some unusual items in its gift shop this winter. Browsers can buy "Last Supper" after-dinner mints, make-it-yourself miniature catapults, and Leonardo da Vinci action figures complete with tiny easels.
None of this kitsch has much to do with flight, but Leonardo himself does. He imagined the parachute, glider, and helicopter, along with a fantastic array of machines, weapons, and tools. A new exhibit here is showcasing dozens of full-sized replicas of his contraptions, from the bicycle to the life preserver to, yes, a catapult.
Science museums in Birmingham, Ala., and Portland, Ore., are offering similar exhibits. Meanwhile, a collection of rare drawings by Leonardo finished a US tour earlier this year after leaving Italy for the first time.
Nearly five centuries after his death – and six years after "The Da Vinci Code" hit bookstore shelves (and later, theaters) – the original Renaissance Man has become a major draw for science, flight, and art museums, even though it's difficult, if not impossible, to display his original works.
"He's an accessible person. You can see what he accomplished, and see that he had no advantage to help him accomplish any of that," says Godfrey Harris, curator of "The Da Vinci Experience" exhibit, now in San Diego. The exhibit has drawn a quarter-million visitors to several venues in the West.
Leonardo certainly qualifies as remarkable. Perhaps the most brilliant man in history, he managed to be a writer, scientist, inventor, painter, sculptor, musician, archi- tect, and more.
But which Leonardo should museums depict: the secretive master of deception portrayed in Dan Brown's ultrabestselling novel or the less sensational real-life version?
The museums have chosen the latter, although they're clearly influenced by the thriller. Both the "Experience" exhibit and the "Da Vinci: The Genius" exhibit, now visiting Portland, were created after the book became a sensation. In a nod to the novel, the "Genius" exhibit promises to expose the "secrets" of the "Mona Lisa" by allowing museum patrons to look at giant photographic reproductions of the painting.
"This is all 'Da Vinci Code' hyperbole and fantasy," says Michael Gaudio, an art history professor at the University of Minnesota. "I suppose that's a way to bring in people to exhibitions. But by blowing up the 'Mona Lisa' a bunch of times, you aren't going to discover anything that people haven't already seen by looking at the painting itself."
Even so, there are still plenty of reasons to be fascinated by Leonardo, Mr. Gaudio says. Part of his appeal lies in "the idea of somebody who bridges different areas of inquiry that we tend to separate. Here's somebody who's both an artist and a scientist. For us, those are categories of knowledge, ways of thinking and knowing, that exist for the most part in separate realms. For him, that distinction didn't mean anything. It wasn't even conceivable for him."
Not everyone is a fan of the high-profile "Genius" exhibit. The San Francisco Chronicle, for one, called it "dreary" and complained about unimpressive painting reproductions and $19.50 ticket prices. The San Diego "Experience" exhibit costs even more at $24.75.
The prices may seem high for exhibits that don't include anything that Leonardo touched. Then again, little of his work remains.
Only a few paintings attributed to him are still in existence, and experts disagree over whether they're all authentic. The Portland museum did try to borrow the so-called Codex Leicester, a journal of Leonardo's now owned by billionaire Bill Gates, but the timing made a loan impossible, says museum educator Kate O'Neil.
"That's the challenging part of these exhibits," she says. "How do you re-create this genius without having the actual artifacts and still give people the sense that what they're seeing has authenticity?"
To bring Leonardo to life, the makers of the current exhibits have created replicas of his inventions, including some of those he designed only on paper.
Leonardo didn't make things easy, however. "If he thought of a spring or a hinge, he would then make 30, 40, 50 sketches with new ideas of how it would be configured," curator Mr. Harris says. "One of the challenges is choosing one of the many sketches to replicate for the public what in fact he was thinking about."
Leonardo also often left out details in his designs so that they couldn't be easily copied, Harris says.
So Leonardo may have had a few secrets after all. But those who seek hidden surprises in paintings will be disappointed, art professor Gaudio says.
"He's somebody whose work is really about revealing the secrets of nature, not using his art to make things hard to find."


The show's title character explains in an opening voiceover she's "not your typical doctor," but even with a few unexpected twists, this show is about as typical as TV gets.
Despite Hollywood’s infatuation with the Mafia and “The Sopranos,” attempts to transfer such material into more conventional broadcast packaging have seldom yielded much success. Enter “The Mob Doctor,” a Fox series derived from the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup school of development, inasmuch as it takes two taste treats — “It’s a medical procedural and a mob story!” — then mashes them together into one. The show’s title character explains in an opening voiceover she’s “not your typical doctor,” but even with a few unexpected twists, this show is about as typical as TV gets.
While the underlying notion of a principled doctor grappling with a nagging issue would appear to make “Mob Doctor” a logical heir to “House” in terms of tone and style, any parallel represents a stretch. And if the medical aspect offers comfort and familiarity — or at least a diversion from the more demanding crime thread — there’s nothing initially compelling enough to warrant regular visits, much less house calls.
Created by Josh Berman and Rob Wright, the premiere immediately thrusts Dr. Grace Devlin (Jordana Spiro), into an ethical quandary. Despite having agreed to do favors for the mob — like treating wounded members on the sly — in exchange for sparing the
life of her indebted brother (Jesse Lee Soffer), she understandably balks at a request from the mob boss (Michael Rapaport) to ensure a potential witness doesn’t leave the hospital alive.
On top of that, her legitimate bosses at the hospital, led by Dr. White (Zeljko Ivanek), aren’t much more likable than the made guys, whose ranks include the always-welcome William Forsythe (segueing from “Boardwalk Empire’s” larcenous lot) as a soft-spoken don who Grace has known since childhood, one with a knack for making offers you shouldn’t refuse.
Best-known for the genial TBS comedy “My Boys,” Spiro comes across as tough enough to play a character straddling these worlds, but Grace is almost too much of a saint. In the pilot alone, she nobly defends her family, crusades for her patients, races around trying to serve her various masters, and still squeezes in time for her doctor boyfriend (“Friday Night Lights'” Zach Gilford, deserving of more).
Barring a deeper dive into serialized crime, the medicine-Mafia juxtaposition will grow tiresome fast as a (mostly) procedural. Nor does the on-the-nose dialogue help, like having one of Grace’s colleagues dismiss her as a “plucky Southside girl.”
Facing stiff Monday competition makes “Mob Doctor’s” prognosis more uncertain, but should also temper Fox’s expectations. And that might be the best prescription for providing the show and its heroine a chance to strike a proper balance between its worlds before the bill comes due.

By Ken Keller: As Steven H Silver reported:
Born in 1933, he died on May 26, 2012. Dillon was an artist who collaborated throughout his career with his wife, Diane Dillon, and they shared a Hugo Award for Best Professional Artist in 1970, among many others.
I had the privilege of working with the artist team of Leo Dillon and his wife Diane back in the mid-’80s. This was in producing a pair of fine limited edition art prints of their beautiful hardcover dust jacket paintings for Joan Vinge’s Hugo-winning novel The Snow Queen and Harlan Ellison’s short fiction collection Deathbird Stories. These prints were signed and limited to just 300 for each painting; they were published by my company Ground Zero Graphics, so named after the Dillon’s fine establishment, Ground Zero, their one-time Brooklyn coffee house.
In fact Leo and Diane were, for a period in the ’60s and ’70s, strongly associated with Harlan by their cover art on most of his books; they produced many beautiful, distinctive covers for his and other writer’s books in this same period.
In addition to their Hugo Award and World Fantasy Award (for Life Achievement), the Dillon’s were multiple winners of the prestigious Caldecott Award and a huge number of other important awards for their original, unique art. They worked in every medium and style you can imagine, always as an artist team, their finished artwork a perfect, seamless blend of their different styles and singular talents.
My own association with them in the mid-’80s was friendly and very cordial; we enjoyed swapping fond tales about our mutual friend Harlan Ellison and discussing the details of their lives in and out of the fantasy and science fiction genre.
I’m so sorry Leo has been forced by lung cancer to break his long marriage and artistic partnership of more than a half-century to Diane. What a loss for her, for their family, and to the world of art.
The beautiful work they created together, as a distinctive artistic team, continues to live on in hundreds of fine books and art prints published, fondly held and remembered by many thousands of their admirers.


Macro Digest : Bond alert & probably single most important chart this year
« Inflation is when you pay fifteen dollars for the ten-dollar haircut you used to get for five dollars when you had hair »– Sam Ewing
Doing some research for Bloomberg guest hosting in London on Thursday morning and came across this « surprising » data….
China is on route to turn PPI positive by end of year!
China has been net exporter of DEFLATION for many many year…Last time China had POSITIVE PPI was in 2012 – back then inflation was 4% in the US……
Of course – this is BY end of year and in between we will still see US economy weakening again….. but this is NOT good for long term bond return…. and it could be catalyst for RALLY in yields
It also comes as major investment banks and governments offices is busy adjusting their US and China INFRASTRUCTURE and overall fiscal deficits higher post US Election!
Two of these recent expansions of fiscal deficits is here – indicating US deficit will growth from 3% ish deficit to 5% and that’s assuming defense cuts! It’s not only Japan who is getting ready to spent more they don’t have!
This is a signal NOT to be ignored! UNDERWEIGHT bonds looks the most appealing in more than a decade on this news alone before even looking at question of a bond bubble and failed “low for infinity” impacts from totally mismanaged central banks.
Source: Bloomberg – not perfect but not random either!!!
I spent two weeks in Asia recently and it remains absolutely clear to me that China and Japan leads all macro impulses – China PPI and FX devaluation dictates world growth and inflation and Japan’s fiscal and monetary experiments leads ECB and FED into the dark age of ignorance.

Christian fiction is a specific genre of novels that basically focuses on the vivid illustrations of the Bible and the implications of the Christianity. The plots and characters of such books generally revolve around the Christian themes. The positive storyline is one of the distinctive aspects that make these books highly popular among avid readers.
It is important to note that in the fast few centuries growing traditional Christian sub culture has aided the rise of a definite genre of Christian books. These books generally combine conservative spiritual divinity along with popular thriller or romance and thus, have gained wide acclamations in the sub-cultures. Now, let us have a quick look at the top aspects that make Christian fictions an ideal option for reading.
• The Books Inspire Positivity and Principled Actions
Keen readers agree on a common point that these fictions actually help in broadening the thinking of an individual. Reading them at regular intervals can actually aid in devoting the mind towards positivity, which eventually results in directed actions. Popular Christian fiction authors have said that going through the lines of such novels can actually help in arousing empathy and understand the real implications of bible on our lives.
• Understand What is Right and What is Wrong
These books uphold the two sides of life in an illustrative way through plots and characters. The storylines of such novels often direct the characters in the path of choices, where he or she has to select between what is right and what is wrong. With thorough illustrations of the plots and the back ground of the characters, these books depict the struggle between the evil and the good.
• Be Aware of The Spiritual Truth
As said earlier, these fictions are classical implications of the Bible, but in a different way. The biblical annotations in almost all the plots makes one aware of the spiritual truth, which eventually tends to bend the mind of an individual and take it towards peace. Reading these novels help the readers to think like the greatest thinkers of the world and this makes the novels ideal for spiritual awakening.
These are some of the notable aspects that make the Christian fictions ideal for readers who want to spend a great time learning the real implications of life and spirituality through stories. When it comes to choosing a specific series of such novels, the options are many. However, one can consider going for an entire series to derive the real enjoyment.


A survey looked at allowance for kids in 2014 broken down into three different age groups: 4-9, 10-13 and 14-17.
The Harris Poll conducted the survey which asked 2,311 adults about the allowance they give their children nowadays. The poll also broke down the adults into four different age groups: Echo boomers (Americans ages 18-36), Gen Xers (ages 37-48), Baby Boomers (ages 49-67) and Matures (ages 68+).
This is what your average allowance for kids looks like in 2014.
- For 4-9 year olds – $5.10 Echo Boomers, $5.40 Gen Xers, $3.10 Baby Boomers, $2.00 Matures.
- For 10-13 year olds – $10.60, $10.10, $7.30 and $5.40, respectively.
- For 14-17 year olds – $18.00, $18.80, $14.00 and $11.60, respectively.
The poll also showed that men are more generous than women in allowances and rural kids don’t get as much allowance as urban and suburban kids.

While the Cincinnati Bengals' surge has them in control of the AFC North, the Miami Dolphins must find a way to turn things around before their season slips away.
The visiting Bengals look for a fifth consecutive victory while trying to hand the Dolphins a fifth straight defeat Thursday night.
Paced by the recent strong play of quarterback Andy Dalton, Cincinnati (6-2) is the only team in the division at .500 or better, and it's in position to win five in a row for the second time in three seasons.
"We're very good," safety Chris Crocker said. "We're very, very, very good. But we have to play like it."
The Bengals have scored 103 points in the last three games, largely because of Dalton. The third-year player has passed for at least 325 yards in each of those contests and became the first Bengal to throw 11 touchdowns over a three-game span.
Dalton, intercepted just twice in that stretch, threw a career-high five TD passes in a 49-9 home win over the New York Jets on Sunday.


UK Sikhs pin hopes on PM Modi's visit in November
After ‘Naav Pe Charcha’ on the Seine with French President Francois Hollande in Paris in April, a similar river cruise on the Thames is being planned with UK Prime Minister David Cameron when Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits Britain in November.chandigarh Updated: Jul 20, 2015 00:41 IST
After ‘Naav Pe Charcha’ on the Seine with French President Francois Hollande in Paris in April, a similar river cruise on the Thames is being planned with UK Prime Minister David Cameron when Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits Britain in November.
Credited to foreign secretary S Jaishankar, the idea of interaction on a boat was one of the public highlights of Modi’s visit to France. Officials hope the event would lead to similar “high optics” in the backdrop of the London Eye, Big Ben and the palaces of parliament. As British and Indian officials prepare for the visit, there is an expectation here that Modi will announce the addition of Britain to the list of countries whose citizens can avail of
an e-tourist visa before arrival — a demand raised by several major tour operators and others in the UK.
Officials said 10 Downing Street was keen to ensure a high-impact visit by Modi, with trade, skills, economy and India’s infrastructure development high on the agenda. There is an awareness of increasing uneasiness in New Delhi over recent visa issues affecting Indians and Indian companies based in Britain adversely.
Besides a high-profile address to the large Indian diaspora here at the Wembley stadium or the Millennium Dome, Modi is likely to visit a temple in London. However, questions remain over the possibility of his visiting a London gurdwara, security being the prime concern.
Senior sources in the Sikh community told HT that given the recent history of Punjab, “Khalistan” and the so-called “blacklist” of individuals living abroad for years but unable to visit India, Modi “will have to offer something… substantial… instead of just coming and praising the community”. Modi’s visit is likely to attract some opposition from groups focussed on Jammu and Kashmir and the 2002 Gujarat riots. If the process of the Maharashtra government’s acquiring the Ambedkar house in London is completed, he is likely to visit the north London house where the architect of India’s Constitution lived while studying at the London School of Economics.
Two key issues on the agenda during the visit are Modi’s ‘smart cities’ project and using British technology to clean the Ganga. In 1957, the Thames faced much pollution, but efforts by environmental officials since have transformed it, winning international awards.
The last bilateral prime ministerial visit to Britain was by Manmohan Singh in 2006. Since then, British PMs have visited India four times (Gordon Brown in 2008 and David Cameron thrice). The 2004 Joint Declaration between the two countries envisaged annual summits. There was much uneasiness in British circles when Modi chose France as the first European country to visit, in April, but it was overtaken largely by the campaigning before the May 7 general elections in Britain.
Cameron, who met Modi in Australia during the G20 meeting in October last, has often declared his eagerness to welcome Modi in London. His previous government (2010-15) had reversed the previous Labour government’s decision to boycott Gujarat after the 2002 riots in the state.


Diets are filled with dogma about when, what and how much to eat. Certainly “the rules” are usually based on observations that make sense, but unless you understand why you do certain things, you’ll break the rules as soon as the temptation is greater than your motivation.
Let’s examine some of these myths, where they come from and how to make long term changes that will work for you.
Myth #1: Don’t Eat After 7pm
Your metabolism doesn’t shut off at 7:01 pm so why is this rule so common? It is based on the observation that a lot of people who struggle with their weight overeat in the evening. Most people have already eaten dinner so they aren’t snacking because they’re hungry. They snack because of boredom, television, loneliness and other triggers.
Rather than creating a rule to address those habits, ask yourself “Am I hungry?” whenever you feel like eating in the evenings. If you truly are, eat, keeping in mind that your day is winding down so you won’t need a huge meal. If you aren’t, consider why you feel like eating and come up with a better way to address that need. Ken, a man in one of my workshops, realized he was just bored so he started doing stained glass in the evenings to entertain himself. Whatever works!
Myth #2: Eat Small Meals Every 3 Hours
This rule is based on the fact that many thin people tend to eat frequent small meals. However, most of the thin people I know don’t check their watch to tell them it’s time to eat – they eat when their body tells them to. They eat when they’re hungry and stop when they’re satisfied. Since that tends to be a small meal, they get hungry again in a few hours.
Instead of watching the clock, begin to tune in to the physical symptoms of hunger to tell you when to eat. And remember, your stomach is only about the size of your fist so it only holds a handful of food comfortably. By learning to listen to your body’s signals, you are likely to follow a frequent small meal pattern naturally.
Myth #3: Don’t Let Yourself Get Hungry
This one is based on the belief that overweight people are incapable of controlling themselves when they are hungry. In my experience with hundreds of workshop participants, once they learn to tell the difference between physical hunger and head hunger, the opposite is true.
Think about it. When you’re hungry, food tastes better and is more satisfying. My grandmother used to say, “Hunger is the best seasoning.” Besides, if you aren’t hungry when you start eating, what’s going to tell you to stop? Of course, you also need to learn to recognize hunger and make time to eat before you are too hungry since it’s harder to make great choices when you are starving!
Myth #4: Exercise More When You Cheat
I HATE this one because it has caused millions of people to equate physical activity with punishment for eating. As a result, many people either hate to exercise or use exercise to earn the right to eat.
While it’s true that your weight is determined by your overall calories in versus your calories out, exercise is only part of the equation and has so many other important benefits. Instead of using exercise to pay penance, focus on how great you feel, how much more energy you have, how much better you sleep and how much healthier you are becoming. In the long run, you are more likely to do something because it feels good than because you are forced to.

Bazemore eager to start 2005 POWERade Series
POMONA, Calif. (Feb. 8, 2005) - Whit Bazemore is eager to get the 2005 POWERade Drag Racing Series started with this weekend's season-opening CARQUEST Auto Parts Winternationals at Pomona Raceway.
The two-time U.S. Nationals champion who has won 17 Funny Car events in his 16-year drag-racing career is still looking for his first win at Pomona Raceway and with successful pre-season testing under his and crew chief Lee Beard's belts in the Matco Tools Iron Eagle Dodge Stratus Funny Car he's ready to attack a new season. Winning the first event of 2005 would definitely kick-start his chase for his first Funny Car championship.
"The testing went well and a win at the Winternationals would be a tremendous way to start the year," he said. "It's a race that has eluded me. Real success at Pomona has been very hard for me to achieve. I'm not sure why that is. We were runner-up a couple of times, once at the 50th Anniversary race and the World Finals, both in 2001." Both finishes came from the No. 1 qualifying position.
"It's important to have a good first race, and the Matco Tools Dodge team is prepared as best as we can be. We'll come to Pomona, do what we know how to do and make things happen. I'm excited about it and ready to go. I can't wait, actually," he smiled.
It's a new season, but the challenges haven't changed, said the Indianapolis resident and avid cyclist. "They are the same as always. You have to tune the car for the conditions and get a good baseline established early in the weekend and then hopefully qualify in the top five, if not better, and then make the right calls on race day and drive perfectly. It's the same every weekend.
"We're looking at the big picture," he added. "It's a long year, but it's important to have good results at every race, and to challenge for a championship we have to minimize the number of bad races."
