The best ways to spend an evening in Paris
Live jazz
- Free
The most exciting global names in jazz regularly come to play in Paris. Check out the sound at New Morning, a low-key club that frequently programmes 'experimental' jazz musicians, or tap your toes to USA biggies at Sunside/Sunset in Châtelet. At the bottom of the same street, Au Duc des Lombards also brings in a stream of international jazz stars. Meanwhile, if you fancy a low-key dinner with live Manouche jazz on the side, give Atelier de Charonne a whirl.

Crazy Horse
A change of artistic direction and limelight brought in by Dita Von Teese (who performed here for a while) has breathed welcome new life into the Crazy Horse. Yes, it's erotic, and yes, you watch pert-breasted girls slink across stage dressed in nothing but light, but there is nothing remotely seedy about the experience. In fact, it's all rather avant-garde. One note of caution - unlike Paris's other cabarets, the Crazy Horse doesn't have a restaurant.

- 12 avenue George V, 8e, Paris, France
David Lynch's Silencio (named after the fetish joint in the director's film Mullholland Drive) is Paris' newest and most coveted private club, giving membership only to those with satisfactory artistic and financial credentials. That doesn't mean you won't get in. After midnight, the Silencio opens to the public, so you can see which A-listers are there, and above all check out the décor which Lynch designed himself - right down to the furniture and gold leaf walls. If the bouncers won't let you in, the Social Club next door is a top spot for live music and a boogie.
See a musical at the Théâtre du Châtelet
Théâtre du Châtelet has revolutionised Paris' musicals scene and has set about producing classics like West Side Story and The Sound of Music. Turn up for productions that in English, often with a live orchestra - a rarity even by West-End standards. Musical legend Stephen Sondheim reportedly said of the Théâtre du Châtelet's version of his opera 'Sweeney Todd' that they'd cast the best Mrs Lovett he'd ever seen: classical music and dance performances the rest of the year are well worth it too.

Théâtre National de Chaillot
The Théâtre National de Chaillot doesn't just have one of Paris' most sought-after locations, with breathtaking views over the Eiffel Tower, it also offers world-class dance performances by the best international choreographers: the likes of the Trisha Brown Dance Company, William Forsythe and the Royal Flanders Ballet. Check out the regular circus performances too, which mix dance with street theatre and acrobatics – a good option if you're in Paris with children. To make a night of it, Théâtre Chaillot has a handy pasta bar where you can dine before the show.

Hit the tiles
Paris's nightlife is positively burning – when you know where to go. To rumble to the rhythm of disco, minimal house and ze French Touch check out the Chacha Club at Châtelet, or Le Régine, where a stream of well-known DJs heat up the dance floor. If you don't mind dicing with bouncers, head to Le Montana where a select crowd parties in what is essentially a cellar. Or pump up the volume at Le Rex Club's release parties and cool club nights.
Read more about Chacha Club and Le Rex Club
La Comédie Française
Molière's theatre troupe is still setting the stage on fire. More than 300 years since La Comédie Française was formed it is still the best place to see French classics by the likes of Jean Racine, Pierre Corneille and (of course) Molière. For period performances in breathtaking costumes, book tickets for the red and gold Salle Richelieu, a stunning Italianate 18th-century theatre. Or opt for cutting-edge modern plays by today's authors in the Comédie Française's 1996 Studio-Théâtre.

Stand-up at Le Point Virgule
Many a comic's career has been launched at the minuscule Point Virgule theatre in the Marais, where several acts a night tickle your funny bone (or at least attempt to). You'll need to have decent French appreciate the jokes, but it's a fine spot in which to check out the talent of the future. If you like what you see, buy the Point Virgule's forfait spectacles, which allow you access to either two or three shows.

Salle Pleyel
The acoustics in the Art Déco Salle Pleyel were conceived especially for symphonic orchestras, making it one of the best places in Paris for classical concerts. Here you can enjoy a performance by resident orchestras L'Orchestre de Paris and L'Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, as well as visiting international ensembles and jazz musicians. The Salle Pleyel's cheapest tickets often seat you behind the orchestra – an unusual spot, but an interesting one - you almost feel part of the orchestra can watch the conductor's facial expressions from up close.

Live indie and electro
As the music industry struggles to sell CDs, groups in Paris are performing more than ever, turning the city's concert venues into hotbeds of sound. For indie rock, pop and electro, head to the 20th to La Maroquinerie or La Flêche d'Or, set inside a former train station. Oberkampf's Nouveau Casino also programmes an exciting line-up of local and international groups; while nearby L'International holds free concerts by new talents (predominantly rock). If you're in Bastille, check out La Mechanique Ondulatoire, where up-and-coming punk, rock and garage bands make a lot of noise.

Party 'til dawn at La Bellevilloise
At the top of Menilmontant's hill, La Maroquinerie is a hip multidisciplinary centre. Start your night in the Halle des Oliviers restaurant in the ground floor then head upstairs to the Forum bar for live acoustic sound and cocktails. The bar leads to a lovely terrace with views over Paris' rooftops. After dark, you can either peruse the art expos in the top floor gallery, or head to the Bellevilloise's basement club for a night of cheesy '80s music.

French Chansons at Les Trois Baudets
While Britain was living it up with the Beatles, France was developing its text-led Chanson genre. And in Paris, the launchpad for budding Brassens and Gainsbourgs (both of whom sang here) was Les Trois Baudets. It remains committed to Chanson and is the top place to go to hear France's new talent. Most concerts start at 8pm and the Trois Baudets Italian bar-restaurant is open from 6.30pm, so you can fill up on antipasti and pasta before the show.

Le Batofar
Making waves on the electro circuit is Le Batofar, a converted fireman's boat, docked below the BNF (Bibliothèque Nationale de France) and decked out with art expos. This is where up-for-it Parisians come to hear DJs and VJs (both home-grown and international), see live bands and generally party well into the wee small hours. When you've worked up an appetite, head to the Batofar's restaurant deck for pick-me-ups like duck with potato gratin (served until 11pm).

Get gritty in Pigalle
Pigalle may be peppered with the pink neon of sex shops, but it's also a grand spot for a night out on the tiles. Start with a live indie concert at the Boule Noire, or at next-door La Cigale, where the likes of REM and Mark Ronson have played. Then take in some 'culture' at Pigalle's Musée de l'Erotisme, which is much more than just gallery for penile paraphernalia; it's educational, especially the section devoted to Paris' maisons closes. From here, it's on to the Machine du Moulin Rouge at Blanche for more live music and dancing.

I don't go in for pretentious and (to me) absurd whisky-tasting jargon, such as licorice palate with butterscotch undertones, all I can say is that this is an excellent and polished malt, extraordinarily smooth and far too more-ish for one's purse and peace of mind. It's the whisky you'd love to show off to your guests, but on the other hand you'd probably rather keep it greedily to yourself. The rank peat-smoke taste of Laphroiag and Lagavulin are well to the background here, existing as subtle hints rather than raw on the palate, with enough sea-spray to let you know it's an Isla. The non-chill filter brings out far more subtleties of taste than otherwise. My advice is go for it while the limited edition lasts. It could even be an investment.

In Howard Stern's latest book, Miss America, he writes how he was disturbed by a visit with Michael Jackson last year.
Stern says the meeting was called by Jackson to discuss the possibility of a TV special with Stern. The two apparently met at Dolly Parton's apartment, with Jackson in his Sgt. Pepper outfit.
Jackson ''looks like he's in the gay militia,'' Stern notes in a chapter in the book titled ''If You Love Children So Much, Where Are the Girls?''
''He has thick makeup on like Bozo the . . . Clown. It's so thick you feel like you could take a hunk of it and stucco a wall,'' Stern apparently wrote.
Stern says Jackson's manager also suggested a Stern-hosted rally to support the singer.
''Storming the streets over Michael Jackson's innocence is not going to happen,'' Stern replied. ''Three people are going to take to the streets: the guy from the insane asylum and two other people following with a net.''
That was the end of the meeting.

(CBS13) — A Sacramento surgeon has been reprimanded by the state medical board for suggesting a patient try oral sex to improve her gag reflex. The unnamed patient was hesitant to undergo an upper-gastrointestinal endoscopy. The procedure would require a scope going from someone's mouth into their intestinal tract. She told Sacramento Dr. J. Peter Zegarra that she "gags at the dentist" and didn't want the procedure. That's when the doctor suggested in front of her husband, "She should be practicing twice a week on her husband by giving him (oral sex) to address her gagging reflex.""This constituted unprofessional conduct, and so this is a message that this probably wasn't appropriate," said Cassandra Hockenson, with the California Medical Board. "A more appropriate response should have come with regards to dealing with her gag reflex issues." Even if it was a playful suggestion, the medical board says that's no defense.
How is this a bad thing? Why is this doctor getting in trouble? All I see is a medical professional who suggested a solution that helps this woman's gag reflex AND strengthens her marriage. Helps her physically and emotionally. Husband is gonna be skipping around the house smiling all day, taking care of the chores and surprising her with flowers and shit. Wife is gonna be happier because her husband is more loving and caring than ever. Oh and that whole gag reflex problem that started this? With enough practice that'll get fixed too. Everybody wins. So don't reprimand this doctor, give him a fucking hug. He just improved your life exponentially.
Make a note of it, ladies. Sucking dick makes everything better.

After seeing Mel's tutorial a couple of years ago, I finally decided it's time to make a koi pond of my own!
I changed a few things around and added some plants and different textures to the bottom of the pond. I don't quite care for the rocks but it's all I could find on such short timing (I want to take at least a couple of these with me to Orlando).
The pond almost didn't make it. I poured too much resin for the final layer and it flowed out and over the sides. I left it overnight and came back to it firmly stuck to my tile. I managed to pry it loose and have learned for my second attempt to make the wall around the pond even.
If I can find a way to do it, I'll be trying miniature fish tanks next!

We asked alumni, students and friends to share their favorite Professor Reg Bell stories as we celebrate his milestone 200th consecutive teaching term. We'll post those stories here throughout the month. If you'd like to share your own story, email email@example.com. You can also share your stories on Twitter using the #RegBell200 hashtag.
"One lunch hour, Reggie was sitting with Dr. Doddles, the head of the Chemistry Department, eating lunch. He was a relatively new teacher, and so he was sucking up to the Department Head. The night before, Reg had led a review for his students before finals. As they ate, I walked up and began a long gushy thank you speech about his selfless sacrifice at going out of his way to help students. I laid it on thick enough that Reg was starting to color. When I finished, not knowing quite what to say, Reg introduced me to Dr. D. I gushed slightly at my honor at meeting him. Then I turned to Reg and said, "Did I say it right Reggie?" and turned my head and walked away. Reg sat sputtering while Dr. D laughed and laughed. Demonstrating what a great guy Reg is, I still got my 90 in Chemistry."

Hello World Travelers
You guys are awesome! After re-booting my email which was taken out of service from non-use for a while, I was able to catch up on all your entries. While I am impressed at all the adventures you have taken on, I'm not surprised that you are going all out, truly all out, on your experience. Myles, you've been that way since I met you! Thanks for including me on your entries and I look forward to living your exprience vicariously through them...so keep them up and keep them descriptive! Let us know when you come to travel though the crazy Bay Area, the culture is one of a kind here!
Back to India!
Trip Start
Apr 30, 2006
Trip End
Mar 25, 2007
What does all of this equate to? 1.1 billion people; 10 major religions (worshipping 330,000,000 deities (yes, 330 MILLION); 1,600 languages; 4 varnas (castes) with thousands of jatis (sub-castes) - which you are born into. All of this, plus the "normal" social strata (such as income, education, occupation...)... put it together, add 3 shakes of colonial rule and you have (to put it mildly) an extremely multi-dimensional society.
Before going back to southern India we often heard "The south is sooo much different than the north." Well, this IS true.. but is true in a sarcastic "no shit" sort of way. It is like saying a turnip and a fish are different. They are different, but so is an apple and a fish. What we are saying is that, "yes," south India is different from the north; but not to a higher degree than how Kashmir is different than Delhi; which is different from Punjab; which is different from Himashal Pradesh (which are all located in the north). If you travel for 3 hours by train, from any point in India you are bound to see different deities being worshiped; different pilgrimages; hear different languages and experience, in general, a different culture. And that's what makes India so great!
This log centers around Tamil Nadu; where everyone speaks Tamil, where there is an elephant giving blessings at every temple and men wear skirts (sarongs). We visited many temples, many beaches and battled for train seats with pilgrims (and lost). Enjoy!

Finding divorce or marital status with newspapers
Wedding announcements indicate that a marriage took place. If you can find more than one wedding announcement for an individual, then you know that a second marriage took place, either due to a divorce or to the death of a spouse. The nice part about finding out about a second marriage through the newspapers is that it will also give you a few details about the new spouse. However, finding a second wedding announcement can be tricky unless you already have an idea of when the second wedding took place. Otherwise, you will have to search through many years of newspapers. The directories listed below will help you find the current owners of old newspapers from the time and place when the wedding announcement was published. If the individual spoke a foreign language, check to see if there was a newspaper in that language, too. Once you have located the current owners, you can request to search the appropriate copies. The current owners should be able to direct you in your search. Ayer Directory of Newspapers and Periodicals, available at most community libraries.

A Glimpse into the English Charedi School System
The school was on a residential street in North West London. From the outside it was unremarkable, but the atmosphere as I crossed the threshold for the first time for an interview to become an English teacher, was astonishing. The Catholic convent school I'd just left was a seething cauldron of energy and chaos. The noise of ringing school bells and yelling teenagers formed the backdrop to a relentless melodrama of flunked exams and teenage pregnancies. After twelve years teaching in the comprehensive system, I was burnt out.
The advert in the TLS described the school as a girls' grammar, but I guessed from the Jewish name that it would be quite religious, so I was dressed appropriately – long skirt, long sleeves and a neckline high enough to cover my collarbone. I'm a secular Jew, but I had no inkling what I was letting myself in for. The school wasn't just a bit religious; it was a Charedi school, the most theologically conservative stream of Orthodox Judaism. In the UK, they are known for their black sable 'shtreimel' hats and curled side-locks, and little else, since they are notoriously insular. According to Jewish Policy Research, there are currently 53,400 Charedi Jews in Britain, a group that is growing fast. Membership of Charedi synagogues has doubled since 1990, and they now account for three out of every four British Jewish births. Continue reading

Who Are Your Characters Really?
It's amazing how many North Londoners have taken me aside in a furtive, conspiratorial kind of manner, in order to ask me for the truth. 'Go on,' a new acquaintance might urge, within moments of our meeting, 'you can tell me. Who is it based on? Who are they really? I won't tell anyone.' Many people share the conviction that fiction must draw its cast members, if not its story lines, from the writer's own life, and that conviction seems to be redoubled when the fiction in question takes place in a specific, familiar world. I grew up in Golders Green, a small Jewish suburb in North London, and my novel The Innocents is set nearby, in Hampstead Garden Suburb. Perhaps it was therefore inevitable.
The truth, however, is less scandalous. My fiction is just that – fiction – as are my characters. I have lived in north-west London for almost my whole life, during which I have had more than three decades to make a fond, if sometimes exasperated study of its nuances, its climate, its residents. North London and I are old, old friends. And so Adam and Rachel are truly based on no one in particular, because each is based on a hundred people – just as they are formed, like any character in fiction, from who-knows-what preoccupations dredged from the murky bottom of my psyche. Rather than simply to create portraits of people one knows in real life, the fantastic joy and liberation of writing is to spend time in the company of the new people one has invented, and to discover what will happen to them.

Recasting a Classic
Francesca Segal's novel The Innocents is now available.
I would never have set out to recast a classic, Pulitzer-winning American novel– it seemed the height of chutzpah. But once the idea took up residence in my mind it proved impossible to dislodge. I was living in New York when I read it – far away from the Jewish community in north-west London in which I have lived for most of my life. And, reading a novel set in 1870's haute New York society, I felt such an unexpected, urgent, vivid sense of recognition that I could no longer imagine writing another word until I had written this. The trappings were different but the social concerns, the pressures, the closeness and longevity of friendships, the judgement, the parochialism, and the paramount importance of What Everybody Thinks – it was just the same. Golden Age New York to Golders Green. The central dilemmas remain essential and unresolved.
Wharton's novel provided a vehicle; a means to explore certain questions that intrigued me. What is it that makes a good marriage? Is it friendship and common interest, or is it passion? Is romantic love the cornerstone of a happy life? Are there other loves – parental, familial, communal – that can be equally fulfilling, or do they remain hollow without a driving passion for one soul beside you? I have heard both cases put with eloquence and conviction, and I wanted to examine these, amongst other ideas. I would never presume to tell a reader how to interpret my novel – I adore the conflicting emails I've had from readers – equally impassioned messages of either joy or outrage on discovering the choice that Adam ultimately makes between Rachel and Ellie; between safety and freedom; between family and passion.
You can join Francesca Segal and Jewish Book Council on July 16th for a Twitter Book Club conversation.

Escaping the Past?
In her introduction to her story "Kafka in Bronteland" which concludes our anthology Kafkaesque, Tamar Yellin writes:
"For years I could not read Kafka. I would get to the bottom of the first page of The Castle and my brain would seize. Then something clicked inside me and I became obsessed with him. I believe reading Kafka to be a deeply personal experience. You can accept what others tell you Kafka means or you can interpret him for yourself. His enigmatic work lends itself to almost infinite interpretation."
So too does Yellin's marvelous story. In the opening paragraph, her narrator announces her intention to throw her past – including her Jewishness – onto the heap of forgotten things so she can start anew. She moves to the English countryside where the Bronte sisters lived — and where she tell us there are no other Jews. She hires a builder to renovate an ancient cottage and encounters, but never speaks to, a mysterious old man the villagers in her new home call Mr. Kafka. Meanwhile she becomes obsessed with the real Kafka, and especially with his relationship to Judaism. The narrator reads from her Introduction to Kafka:
"More than any other writer, Kafka describes the predicament of the secular alienated Jew. Yet his work, so personal on one level, remains anonymously universal. He has no Jewish axe to grind. Nowhere in any of his fictions does Kafka mention the words Jewish, or Jew."
She finds this remarkable and resolves to determine whether it is true. But when she goes to the village library to begin her search, she gets a surprise. Its copy of The Trial has "a forest of date-stamps, repeated and regular, going back years." The Castle has also been in heavy circulation. This suggests to her that there is a "profound need for Kafka in Bronteland." Or is it just one borrower, obsessively checking the books out? Perhaps the local "Mr. Kafka?"
What does all of this mean? Is the mysterious old man really Franz Kafka, somehow miraculously transported from Prague to Yorkshire? And where does this obsession with Kafka's problematic relationship to Judaism come from, if the narrator is really intent on leaving her past behind? Yellin presents the reader with puzzle pieces but does not insist on a final arrangement. What is clear, however is that the past refuses to stay forgotten. It is everywhere in this story, suffusing the present. It has settled in a dark corner of the local pub and pokes through the plaster ceiling of the narrator's cottage. Even as she tries to begin her new life, the narrator "rattles the cans of the past behind me willy-nilly."

Diabetes on the Loose
The world, as we know it, has been battling against diabetes for a very long time and even if you don't have the disease, it is better to be cautious of what you eat because once you have it, you can never lose it.
If you are going on a picnic, make sure you pack in some picnic baskets that have sugar free products in it. It's not just for those who already have the illness it is also for those who want to be safe from it.
Being diabetic is one of the worst things that can ever happen to you. There are medications for it but there is still no cure up to now. Once you have it, you will be bringing it to the grave.
Different kinds of gourmet picnic basket that are available online are now catching up to the idea that some people want to be cautious with what they eat. These websites now offer various baskets that are sugar free. One of the gourmet picnic basket offered is the Simply Sugar Free. It's a basket filled with sugar free snacks that also taste delicious and looks great, not like most sugar free snacks we find in the market that taste like cardboard and looks like trash.
Again, we should all watch out on what we eat. You will live longer and have a happier life by doing this. Imagine getting old and you still can eat everything you want and anything you desire just because you are conscious of what you eat when you were a bit younger.

KYDEX, LLC parents and their Eco Ambassador children (from left to right) Mai Yoshimizu, 12, Katsu Yoshimizu, 15, of Danville, PA, USA, Hayley Phelan, 14, of Montoursville, PA, USA, Olivia McCormick, 13, of Seven Valleys, PA, USA, pose in front of one of two sweet gum trees they planted in South Centre Township's Columbia Park, Bloomsburg, PA, USA. |
Four children of employees from Bloomsburg, PA, USA manufacturer KYDEX, LLC extended the company's commitment to the environment by planting trees and setting up recycling receptacles in South Centre Township, PA, USA's Columbia Park.
The donation of two 15-foot sweet gum trees and four outdoor recycling receptacles was the culmination of a week-long program sponsored by KYDEX, LLC as part of their participation in SEKISUI Environmental Week, 2013—a program initiated by the manufacturer's parent company, SEKISUI Co., Ltd. During the week of August 5, 2013, SEKISUI employees around the world joined together in conservation and education projects including recycling, waste reduction and reforestation.
KYDEX, LLC also expanded their corporate recycling program to their employees during the Environmental Week and collected more than one ton of recyclables including computers, monitors, small electronics, cardboard and batteries. Katsu Yoshimizu, 15, Mai Yoshimizu, 12, both of Danville, Olivia McCormick, 13, from Seven Valleys, and Hayley Phelan, 14, of Montoursville, planted the trees, set up the recycling bins and prepared recycling for shipment to Bloomsburg Recycling Center in their roles as KYDEX, LLC's Eco Ambassadors.
Ronn Cort, KYDEX, LLC president remarked, "Respecting the environment and educating people about how to be good stewards of it has always been an essential part of the SEKISUI and KYDEX, LLC business philosophy. It's in our DNA. We're very fortunate to have the opportunity to pass on this commitment and value to our students and employees."
Dale Sneidman, South Centre Township, PA, USA secretary/treasurer also applauds the value of getting youth involved, "Projects like these teach valuable lessons to our children about what it means to be civic minded and care for your environment. We are so grateful to KYDEX, LLC for donating the trees and bins to our park. Sweet gum trees can grow to 100 feet tall. Their shade will be welcome, and the recycling receptacles most helpful. Both will add to the beauty our constituents enjoy."

Celtics put forth a pathetic performance, fall to Suns 79-71
Ryan Desmarais
The Boston Celtics decided to use all of their momentum from their victory against Toronto on Wednesday to put up the biggest clunker of this short season. For the Celtics, that's really saying something.
If you love slow, terrible offense, lackluster defense, numerous turnovers and overall horrible basketball, then you were in for a treat tonight. Both teams partook in the egregious activities, as evidenced by the final score, but Phoenix's play was just a little less horrific than the Celtics' performance. Boston came out slow once again, scoring 35 points in the first half, and absolutely disappeared in the fourth quarter. All night, their offense looked molasses slow and about as aggressive as the Velveteen Rabbit. They were out-rebounded 44-32, turned the ball over 18 times and took a grand total of nine free throws all night. Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett combined to score 22 points on 10-27 shooting. The Celtics never found their rhythm and it appeared that they were never truly interested in finding it.
Besides the fact that Avery Bradley played fairly well in the place of the injured Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen had a decent game filling up the stat sheet, there was absolutely nothing positive to take out of this. Nothing at all. On to Washington.
I need a drink.

Carolina Panthers
09 May 14What does the Kony Ealy pick mean for Panthers DEs?
The Panthers selection of Kony Ealy could signal the end of Charles Johnson's time in Carolina.
The Panthers selection of Kony Ealy could signal the end of Charles Johnson's time in Carolina.
The first round may be over, but plenty of highly-regarded talent still remains available in the second and third frames, particularly for teams in need of offensive and defensive line help.
South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney is the star attraction for May's NFL draft, but he's not the only talented defensive end in the class. A team will be able to find a solid edge rusher or a sturdy run-defender after the first-round.
While Missouri's pro day doesn't elicit the same type of interest as those with a top quarterback prospect, plenty of NFL talent, including Michael Sam, will be on display.
Kony Ealy is the other Missouri defensive end, the guy lost in Michael Sam's NFL combine shadow after his teammate announced became the first NFL draft prospect to come out as gay.
College football's bowl games are a perfect opportunity to watch the NFL's next stars. We highlight the top prospects from the upcoming bowl games being played from Jan. 2 to Jan. 5, including the best linebacker and wide receiver prospects for the draft.
FSU RB Devonta Freeman stole the show. Michigan State DE Shilique Calhoun may be the most talented defender flying under the radar. Underclassmen rule as four are highlighted in this week's "NFL Draft Risers." Click "MORE" to find out which draft prospects were this week's top performers.

Stress In Your Hip When Turning In Posture
<Continued from this lesson>
Direction Steps:
- Go to your wall station
- Get into your golf posture (use the steps you learned in your posture training)
- Place your hands on opposite shoulders
- Firm your whole body
- Give special attention to the angle of your spine from hips to head
- Change your focus to the line from spine point between shoulder blades to right armpit
- Change your focus to your right lower back muscle
- Use this back muscle to pull your right armpit area backwards AND upwards, sliding along the wall while holding your spine angle in place
Repeat the above steps using various upper body angles of bend at your hip joints and try turning to a full 90 degree turn in various angles of bend.
- Did you find an angle of hip bend that was the most comfortable in which to do the takeaway turn along the wall?
- Did you find some angles of hip bend that caused much stress, tension, or discomfort in your right hip joint?
The following information is not the most technical and does not use "correct" names for body parts, etc. But, hopefully you will get the main idea. I encourage you to research on the Internet, in books, or with your health practitioners for better understanding.
When you finish reading the information below, repeat the direction steps at the top and try bending at various hip angles that are the same angles as your lower leg angles at your ankles. You want to feel if trying to keep these angles of your lower legs the same as your spine angles will help you do your takeaway turn much easier.
When you are standing, your spine is almost in a straight line parallel with your thigh bone. Your hip joint allows the most comfortable rotation for turning motions when you are standing. Your hip joint is shaped better for standing support and muscles, tendons, and ligaments in this joint area develop for upright control and for back and forth leg movements.
When you bend at your hip joints in your golf posture your spine changes to being at various angles to your thigh bones. As this angle increases it becomes more difficult for you to make a full, 90 degree, upper body turn to your right side.
Your pelvis part of your hip joint is now turning in various angles of "up and down" on the top of your thigh bone instead of turning horizontally. Muscles, tendons, and ligaments at this area are being stretched differently to reflect this new angle of movement at your hip joint.
I discovered that the most comfortable turns in your golf posture occur when your spine angle relative to vertical is almost the same as the angle of your lower leg (knee to ankle). There will be discomfort because of the hip angle but it is less when the spine angle and lower leg angle are about the same relative to vertical.
The major problem with your spine being bent at a greater angle than your lower leg is that you have greater stress of your pelvis "pulling" upwards and backwards on your right thigh bone. The resulting action to relieve the discomfort is to allow your right leg to straighten upwards and backwards.
As soon as you do this you are out of your starting posture. You become unstable in your balance. You have to do much work to return to your original alignment during your return swing to swing precisely through the impact area.
Injuries can occur in your hip joints due to swing forces working on improper rotation activity of these joints. As well, these wrong movements can be a source of lower back changes during your swing which lead to lower back pain.

The concept of this plate is to show happiness through a series of children doing what they do best and when they are the most happy: playing, singing, dancing, sharing, and laughing.
These icon circles show a series that is happiness enacted, and simultaneously they show that these acts—of companionship, play, sharing, and laughter—all cause happiness. So happiness is both cause and effect.
The images are green, because the best play and the best sharing is done outdoors. It is when we interact with each other while engaging our environment that we find the most happiness.

The Pebble Effect
Inspiring Ripples of Change
"It is the small changes we make on a day to day basis that have the greatest impact and provide us with the lasting, meaningful change we seek. I have experienced firsthand the power of a small choice, a simple pebble, cast into the pond of our lives. Sweeping, radical changes to our habits, lifestyle and actions are seldom successful. When attempting to create a wave of positive change in our lives, it is that first, small step that becomes the pebble we cast into the midst of our lives. It is the ripple effect from our daily decisions that has the power to touch and transform all aspects of our lives. A small, simple pebble has the power to create inspiring ripples of change, the beginning of the process that leads us toward the life we hope to live." Pebble Effect Owner Dona Fragnoli
Dona Fragnoli, owner of The Pebble Effect, was recently featured on the cover of the October 2013 edition of Healthy Life Magazine in Albany, NY. The magazine included an article outlining her success as a Health and Wellness Trainer.
"Dona Fragnoli is one of the most effective and natural trainers I have encountered in my 30 years of training and consulting experience. Her dedication to top quality service, product, and participant experience is evident in everything she offers. She commits countless hours to preparation for each and every training which ensures highly valued mastery of the content and topics she presents. Dona's refreshing enthusiasm and engaging style combined with her extensive experience consistently result in overwhelming client satisfaction. She is a delight!"

J S 361 • Holocaust Aftereffects - Hon - W
Unique | Days | Time | Location | Instructor |
40790 |
TTh |
Bos |
Course Description
The events of the Holocaust changed Western culture in fundamental ways. Not only was a great part of European Jewish culture destroyed, the circumstances of the Nazi genocide as a modern, highly rationalized, efficient form of mass murder which took place in the heart of civilized Europe changed the conception of the progress of modernity and the Enlightenment in fundamental ways. This course explores the cultural and philosophical fall out and the literary response in Europe and the U.S. to these events as they first became known, and as one moved further away from it in time and came to understand its pronounced and often problematic after effects. These after effects range from the political (we discuss the Cold War ideology and its influence on European and U.S. politics well into the1980s), the philosophical (how to understand (post) modernity and the Enlightenment after the Holocaust), to the cultural (we look at different war trials, the European student movement of the late 1960s and the German RAF terrorists of the late 1970s, and the latest war asset scandals), to the artistic, as we look at literature, photography and film that has responded in provocative ways to the Holocaust in the past five decades. Central to our inquiry is the realization that the events of the Holocaust have left indelible traces in European and U.S. culture, of which a closer look, decade by decade, reveals profound insights into current day culture, politics, and society.
