NC State's "WebAssign" Online Homework Changing the Classroom
Created in 1997 by faculty at NC State, WebAssign is quickly revolutionizing the way math and science courses are taught and the way students learn. The most advanced system of its kind on the Web, the software enables teachers to distribute, collect, grade and record assignments quickly, accurately and automatically over the Internet.
WebAssign software is a textbook or quiz that "talks back." Teachers can pull from existing textbook questions or write their own. Students answer online, can check answers at any time, and have the opportunity to rework problems until they get them right.
"WebAssign unlocks the door to a new way of teaching – to a classroom without walls where time isn't a boundary and record-keeping is no longer a burden," said John Risley, WebAssign director and NC State physics professor. "WebAssign harnesses the power of the Internet and puts it to work for teachers, giving them the freedom to get back to teaching."
The software also offers a unique feature – it randomizes numbers, offering each student unique questions to solve. This feature makes it virtually impossible to copy another's work, and very difficult to do assignments right before class.
WebAssign has the flexibility to handle any kind of coursework. Questions can be numerical and algebraic as well as multiple choice, true/false, matching, fill in the blank, short answer, essay or poll. Complex questions using all types of answers can be created. Variables, words and phrases, graphics, and sound and video files can all be randomized.
Starting as a project in NC State's Physics Education Group in 1997, WebAssign is now used by more than 17,000 students in almost 400 classes at the university.
WebAssign has quickly attained national prominence. More than 65,000 students in more than 150 universities use WebAssign. This includes the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina A&T University, East Carolina University, University of Virginia, all United States military academies, Notre Dame, Wake Forest University, University of Wisconsin and University of Washington.
WebAssign also boasts a growing high school market, with 12,000 students.
"WebAssign has taken quality education to the next level by making homework assignments and tests more effective teaching tools," said NC State Chancellor Marye Anne Fox. "Students are more accountable for their homework and faculty can better manage time spent in the classroom. We're very excited to see this program expand."

Making pasta at home can be a lot of fun and yields that soft, tender pasta that you find in good Italian restaurants.
And if you judge the complexity of a recipe by the number of ingredients, then pasta should be pretty easy to make. The base recipe consists of just eggs, flour and a little salt. And then you find out that you can use AP flour, Italian "00" flour, semolina, or a combination of each. And what about the eggs? Whole eggs, just the yolks, or a combination? Is it really that complicated? No. The good news is that there are many ways to make pasta and all are pretty simple and forgiving. You just need to pick a recipe and go!
I have tried a number of fresh pasta recipes and settled on this one because it yields a soft, flavorful dough. I also like how the yolks add a distinct yellow color to the finished pasta (I use eggs from cage free chickens and find that they have a deeper yellow yolk color). I often use this recipe to make lots of ravioli that I freeze for later use, so feel free to cut the ingredients in half the first time around.
- 1 pound AP flour (about 3-3/4 cups)
- 9 egg yolks
- 3.5 ounces milk
- pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
1. Add flour to bowl of a Kitchen Aid mixer. Make a well in the center of the flour and add the egg yolks, salt and olive oil (Note: you may want to reserve about 1/2 cup of the flour to see how the mixture comes together and then add it in as necessary).
2. Using the dough hook, stir mixture until it just comes together, about 1 minute. Most recipes have you mix the ingredient on the counter, but I have found this method to be much cleaner and easier.
3. Dump the dough mixture onto a lightly floured clean counter or cutting board. Begin kneading the dough with both hands, using the palms of your hands to work the dough in a forward motion. Continue kneading the dough for 10-15 minutes. It should be moist but not too sticky.
4. Wrap the dough with plastic wrap (I double wrap it to retain the moisture) and let it rest for at least 30-45 minutes at room temperature. Dough can be made up to one day ahead (refrigerate up to 24 hours; bring to room temperature prior to rolling).
5. Cut the dough into quarters, re-wrapping the unused portion, and begin rolling the dough through the pasta machine starting at the widest setting. Fold the pasta into thirds and run it through the widest setting 4-5 times, re-folding each time.
You should feel the pasta softening as the machine continues to work the dough. Sometimes the dough looks choppy or seems to tear as it goes through the machine, but don't get discouraged. Continue to feed it through the machine and it will come together. As it does, move the dough to the next setting (#2) and then the next until you get to the desired thickness (#5 for me!).
Pasta can be used to make ravioli, tortellini, fettuccine or whatever you want! Here is how mine looks on the way to fettuccine.
This recipe comes from a chef named Davide Megna of Amici Miei restaurant.

Moral dilemma: rescuing the miners, rescuing the babies:
The babies are not cognizant that some are being chosen to be saved, whereas the adults are fully aware of being selected. In such a circumstance the morally just action is to attempt a rescue of all the miners.
I think I would have to go for strategy 2, this gives all an equal chance and has a 50% chance of also saving 50% of them from suffering from a nasty case of survivor's guilt.
: 1. It is good to save a life. 2. You are not culpable for attempting to do something and failing (ought implies can). So it's better to choose strategy 2 over strategy 1 in both cases, because that strategy attempts to save more lives. Whether it succeeds or not, it's the better choice.
I think the 50% figure is misleading, because there's a difference between 50% of miners or babies (where it's a fraction) and 50% chance of success (where it's a probability p = 0.5).
What I think isn't sufficiently addressed in these kind of abstract moral dilemmas (the "would you kill a guy to save five others" style particularly, but this as well) is that making a conscious choice to kill a person (or let them die for sure) is kinda frowned upon, isn't it?
The "I tried to save them all" guy is still a hero even if he fails, and the "I chose death for 50 babies" guy will never be very popular at parties no matter the outcome.
The dilemma is inherently flawed, as one cannot know the certainty of any particular strategy's success.
Also, there is no consideration of the costs of the strategies. If it costs $1M for a 50% shot at saving all of them vs. $1000 for a 100% chance to save half, that's definitely going to enter into the CBA. These are semi-skilled workers, or in the case of the babies completely unskilled and easily replaceable.
Easy. You shoot the hostage.
Uhh... I reaaaallly hope you're joking, but in case you're not... there's this thing called basic human empathy, wherein we value a human life irrespective of its material worth.
Rescue operations place as much emphasis on preserving life and as little emphasis on tangible cost as possible, because empathy drives us to value human life at a rate far greater than (or at least incomparable to) that of money. That's not to say cost is a non-issue, but it typically is so minor a concern as to be easily dismissed.
Anyone who trades lives for resources in any situation where the presence or lack of those resources themselves does not demonstrably endanger the lives of others is acting pretty monstrously. "Sorry folks, it's too expensive to save your loved ones - we'd rather put the funds to other budgetary concerns" is a sure fire way to get removed from a position of authority and decision making.
I'd say my personal deontologist view that I have developed through careful reading of some shit on the web is that I am morally responsible for those I doom but not those I fail to save in both cases.
Strategy 2.
There isn't. In both cases your mathematical expectation is 50 saved miners (or babies).
Option 2.
It looks like most people are going for 2, so would your answer be the same if there was only a 45% chance?
This logic is faulty because it intentionally ignores the probability of success. The reason why this is faulty can be illustrated by changing the numbers in the original premise:
- Option 1: You have a 100% chance of saving 99 of the miners (with the remaining miner certain to die).
- Option 2: You have a 1% chance of saving all 100 miners (and a 99% chance that all will die).
Your logic ("the strategy that attempts to save more lives is better, whether it succeeds or not") dictates that Option 2 is better, but I doubt that many would agree. In short, you must consider the probability of success when making your decision.
Need more information: do all 100 babies die if you choose option 2 and fail? Or do you have a 50% chance of saving each individual baby?
By your reasoning it would be a better strategy even if, with average luck, those who used that strategy had only a 10% chance of saving 100% of the miners or the babies, and if those who used the other strategy had a 100% chance of saving 90%.
Good point. But that it's not the deciding factor at 1/99 doesn't prove it's irrelevant at 50/50. If "attempting to save lives" can seem a good reason to choose 2 in the 50/50 case, and an obviously bad reason in the 1/99 case, then it might still be a valuable consideration, just not a universal trump card. For all the people who agree with PatrickD for the 50/50 case, I'd be interested in seeing at what point they change their mind as they're presented increasingly imbalanced odds: 49/51? 45/55? 25/75? Then you'd get a good idea of how highly they value that virtue.
I'd still pick option 2.
Option 1: you save exactly half. Option 2: you either save 100 or 0.
I'm not sure 50%/baby makes much of a difference, though. It's still 50/50 whether you come out better or worse than #1, it just won't be by the full amount possible.
In light of the responses so far, it's interesting to me that I went immediately for option 1.
My logic was: option 1 guarantees lives being saved, whereas option 2 doesn't.
Here's a radical idea in the miners' case. Ask them.
Easy to agree with when people are presently trapped. But people do this all the time before the fact when they risk their own or others' physical and mental safety to cut costs. (Mining is actually a pretty good example of this.) We have to legislate and enforce safety rules exactly because a lot of people think the trade-off is perfectly acceptable.

I've been doing web development in PHP since 1998 and have written a content management system with a quite complex shopping cart system and a backoffice system to handle all sales. It's over 10000 lines of PHP code, excluding the html code. I've really had it with PHP, it's unmaintainable, ugly and slow. Errors like 'parse error on line 487' are not fun to work with. I really like python. The systax is a lot clearer, exceptions are great and I really love those stacktraces if an exception is not handles. Object oriented programming in PHP is a joke, it really sucks. And PHP is buggy. I've encountered numerous bugs, especially in the extension modules. XSLT in PHP? Forget it, the module will crash in 50% of the cases. And compiling PHP yourself with a lot of extension modules can be a real nightmare. And above all: python is a generic language, PHP is only useable for web development and small maintainance scripts. It doesn't have bindings for anything beyond web development. I'm still maintaining the PHP code I have written, but I use python for all new projects. Don't start big projects in PHP, you'll regret it ;-) Regards, -- Konrad Wojas

Dr. Steven Jackson has received the 2012 Joseph A. Greene Excellence in Teaching Award from the College of Business at The University of Southern Mississippi.
While the United States continues to rely on foreign countries for oil, there's a push here at home to find alternative fuel resources.
Working diligently toward that end are researchers at The University of Southern Mississippi who are participating in an international research project aimed at turning marine micro-algae into fuel.
Modified schedules for various operations have been set on The University of Southern Mississippi Hattiesburg campus, as the fall 2012 semester comes to an end and offices close later this month for the holiday break.
Students from three Gulf Coast area high schools will have a unique opportunity to brainstorm experimental ideas as part of a Mars simulation workshop conducted by Dr. Scott Milroy, assistant professor of marine science at The University of Southern Mississippi.
The National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security (NCS4) at The University of Southern Mississippi, along with the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, Nascar, U.S. Olympic Committee, Division I College Sports and other professional leagues, gathered in New York recently to show their commitment to strengthening safety and security at America's venues.
Former National Basketball Association star Earvin "Magic" Johnson accepted the role as Honorary Chair of NCS4's National Certification Development Commission at a time when safety and security in spectator sports, on and off the field, is paramount.
The last two suspects connected with a Nov. 28 fight that occurred near the Walker Science Building on The University of Southern Mississippi Hattiesburg campus were arrested today after turning themselves in to University Police. Neither are students at the university.
Colin Colbourn of Elkhart, Ind., a doctoral student in history at The University of Southern Mississippi, is the recipient of the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation's Gen. Lemuel C. Shepherd Jr. Memorial Dissertation Fellowship.
In its mission to foster the study of U.S. and Marine Corps history, the foundation established the $10,000 dissertation fellowship to memorialize the 20th commandant of the Marine Corps.
The University of Southern Mississippi Gulf Coast Research Laboratory (GCRL), the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources (DMR) and Aqua Green LLC are partnering to produce popular recreational fish such as spotted seatrout, red snapper, and cobia for release into Mississippi waters. The group will release hundreds of red snapper fingerlings onto offshore artificial reefs during the week of Dec. 3-7.

Latin Domain Names Stand the Test of Time
The internet is only expanding. Creating new unique businesses on the web is getting more challenging. Startups are forced to get creative with their naming. How do you come up with a name that is memorable and doesn't limit future expansion? Get inspiration from the past — look to Latin domain names.
BrandBucket creates unique names for businesses and products of all kinds. To come up with these brandable names we often start with the basics: Latin. Many languages are Latin based and using a Latin word gives the name an instinctive relationship to a multitude of languages, and an understanding without defining or limiting your business. Latin provides an immediate firm and respectable feel regardless what language the customer speaks.
These Latin names often have a much more serious tone than the fun web 2.0 names also found on BrandBucket (see our post Playful Web 2.0 Domain Names Mean Big Business). The solid Latin foundation makes these names great for brick-and-mortar based businesses that are expanding to the web. The name endiem at a glance is short and memorable with a tone of finality; it literally means "end of the day" or "in a day", and contains the recognizeable Latin word "diem" which makes the name brandable in a worldwide market. BrandBucket also uses Latin roots to create new words for a business; noctivia uses the root "noct" which represents "night" and we add a little flair at the end to make the name memorable.
We avoid using traditional keywords for the sake that although they seem helpful, they are in fact limiting. For example, the name Music Marketplace seems simple, clever, and assures your customers will know what to expect. Defining your business with the name seems smart for a startup, but once the business is ready to expand it shouldn't be limited by its name. If the Music Marketplace wanted to offer more than just music the name wouldn't fit anymore. Look at RadioShack for example; now that the radio has been replaced by Pandora and an iPod, their customers have stopped using the word "radio" and they are nearly forced to rebrand and adopt the nickname "The Shack". A non-keyword name with Latin roots that describe the jist of the business is the perfect solution to this potential branding blunder.
Browse through Latin domain names on BrandBucket. We have a large list of names that have Latin roots, Latin-sounding roots, and Latin words. All of them make excellent names that can be used anywhere in the world and that will stand the test of time.

As we all know, there has been a ton of turnover on the Philadelphia Eagles' defensive side of the ball, not to mention a totally different scheme. The Eagles' defense needed a change in the worst way. Last year's defense ranked 29th in points allowed and 15th in yards against.
In the past two seasons (2011-12) they ranked 30th (2011) and 31st (2012) in takeaway/giveaway ratio. Yup, not so good.
You will likely have a completely different secondary, unless Nate Allen and/or Kurt Coleman sneak in and start again. I just got sick to my stomach writing that. All of the linebackers are basically rotating right now to see who fits where. Plus, you may have Clifton Geathers, Fletcher Cox and Isaac Sopoaga as the Eagles' three down linemen (3-4 base) starters.
I am not sure if the Eagles' defense will be any better this year. What I do think is that they will be more physical. The players they have brought in the offseason on the defensive side of the ball are known to be very physical. Now, it's the new defensive coordinator Billy Davis' job to bring all the pieces together. Can he do it? Who knows.
Davis, who has 21 years of NFL coaching experience and was the linebackers coach of the Cleveland Browns the past two seasons, also has been a defensive coordinator for Arizona Cardinals (2009-10) and San Francisco 49ers (2005-06).
He struggled in San Fran. In 2005 his defense ranked 30th in points allowed and 32nd in yards against. In 2006 his defense ranked 32nd in points allowed and 26th yards against … but at that time, the 49ers were a depleted franchise in terms of talent. I am not sure if any defensive coordinator could have changed that.
When he was hired in 2009 by the Cards, he fared much better. The Cards (2009) had the highest mark in interceptions (21), which was their highest mark as a franchise since 1994. Also in 2009, his defense allowed 325 points (one of the lowest totals in the history of their franchise).
Then in 2010, the Cards had 12 return touchdowns (seven fumble returns, three interception returns, two kickoff returns), which is the second-highest single-season total in NFL history. However, they also ranked 29th overall in defense in 2010, though that could be because of Kurt Warner retiring after the 2009 season.
The Cards had the 31st-ranked offense in 2010 and we all know what a terrible offense can do to a defense. It leaves a defense facing extra possessions through out a game.
So its seems as if the jury is still out on Davis, and that seems very fitting for this Eagles team this year.

Davos 2013: The people chase
Dennis Nally, chairman of PwC International, examines how to meet the skills gap challenge head on
This challenge comes up time and again in my conversations with business leaders around the world. And it was also one of the key findings of PricewaterhouseCoopers' recent Global CEO Survey. Over half of the CEOs surveyed by PwC – and 62% in the Asia-Pacific region, home to the world's largest workforce and fastest-growing economies – said that being unable to find key skills could hurt their ability to grow.
The reason is a chronic skills gap and a mismatch between supply and demand. The rise of emerging markets is creating jobs in places where it is hard to find the right people. International and local competition for workers who do have the right skills is growing increasingly intense. New kinds of jobs are being created – in old and new industries – for which many recent university graduates are poorly equipped. And the demand is not limited to technical know-how; companies are looking for international experience, wide-ranging "soft" skills, and adaptability.
There is no easy solution to these problems. While more and more companies are investing in diversity and inclusion, they are still struggling to get real results.
Meanwhile, demographic trends, particularly in developed economies, are causing the workforce to shrink and giving rise to a new generation of employees with different expectations. The labour pool is getting smaller as age and birth rates fall. And highly demanding young people, weaned on technology, have a different perspective on work, flexibility, and rewards. Retention is also a major problem in many countries, particularly in emerging markets. Spiraling compensation is partly to blame for job-hopping, but loyalty is falling for other reasons as well.
There is no easy solution to these problems. Tapping into under-used areas of the labour pool – like women and older workers – can help companies as they face the talent crisis. But, while more and more companies are investing in diversity and inclusion, they are still struggling to get real results.
One thing is certain: to meet these challenges, companies cannot keep doing what they have done before. Business leaders need to think more strategically about how they manage their workforce – fueling planned growth with the right people, who have the right skills, in the right locations. This sounds like a simple plan, but implementing it in our interconnected global marketplace is increasingly difficult.
Better workforce planning is a start. This can help businesses to make informed decisions about what resources they need and what is available in which locations.
A deep understanding of, and respect for, what employees genuinely value is a vital step toward shaping an organisation that attracts, motivates and retains the best talent, at every level, in every location. Another important step is to forge ties with the providers of new talent – schools, universities and apprenticeship programmes. The traditional education curriculum is not keeping pace with change or meeting the needs of business; but effecting change requires business leaders to engage fully with educators and policymakers.
There are signs that things are changing for the better. Companies are starting to take a longer-term, strategic approach to closing the gap between what they have, what they need, and what's out there. This includes focusing at the leadership level on good succession plans, mobility strategies, and diversity programmes – not relegating these initiatives to a business-planning afterthought.
Undertaking this kind of analysis and forecasting becomes even more crucial when companies enter new markets where different risks (for example, local skills shortages, high turnover, or soaring costs) can easily mean the difference between success and failure. As the alignment of personnel strategies with business goals become more critical, the role of human-resources issues grows in significance. Talent plans become an integral element of business plans.
I will be moderating a session at the 2013 World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos called "The Human Capital Context." The session will look at the strategic shifts and transformational issues that are making human-resources challenges a central concern for companies. The session will address the true depth of the talent problem, the structural nature of youth unemployment, and the impact of technology on workforce education. It promises to be an interesting, lively, and significant debate.

Where to Fish in Wyoming
There are miles and miles of trout streams in Wyoming, and thousands of lakes and reservoirs. Most of these areas offer something for the angler, whether you're fishing for cutthroats or catfish. Check for local regulations, and get permission to fish on private lands.
Wyoming doesn't have an official policy on listing blue ribbon waters, so we've broken the fishing areas into two pages:
You can also get some more information on these areas and others from Wyoming Game and Fish. If you know a good resource for a fishing locality not listed on these pages, please send us an e-mail and we'll add it to the list. That way, everyone will know about it and it will get really crowded!

Hi there,
I'm sorry if this has been done to death already but my training has ground to a halt due to shin splints. I've never had them before but these last 3 months have seen me having to stop training due the strange pain/ache feeling in my lower leg.
I've bought new trainers, tried stretching and even taken time off but all to no avail.
Any tips from you guys out there would be very much appreciated
Hi Chris, I suffered badly from shin splints but am happy to say that is now in my past albeit replaced by other injuries I managed to solve it in several ways. Firstly I went to see a good physio. She put me through 15 minutes of absolute agony as she carried out something called 'frictioning' on my shin to separate the inflamed tendons from my tibia. The process encourages bloody flow in and helps repair the symptoms. Several sessions of this really helped and it was money well spent. I have heard good things about accupunture on this too.
Second was addressing the cause. You are right to get your shoes checked to ensure you have stability and support if needed (pronate or supinate). The key though comes down to good old fashion stretching. The jury is out on pre running stretches but for me, personally, it helped tremendously. Shin splints, so I have been told, is often caused by overly tight calf muscles that don't give when running and subsequently cause trauma to the shins. Do some warm up exercises first and then stretch out the calves. There are lots of YouTube videos on calf stretching. My particular favourite is where you sort of hang off a step. Stand on a step or stair with half of your foot, including your heel off the back, then lower your heel down until you feel the stretch. Do this before (gently) and lots after a run. The stretches changed my life.
Cheers Nikos,
I may have to visit a physio and see what they say
Thanks again
Agree with . I've been struggling with shin splints for the last year or so and had my first physio session today. After an uncomfortable massage and ultrasound I feel like there is a solution on the way. Wish I had gone last year. Good luck
Hi there, I'm assuming I have shin splints, I have pain at the side of my shin and the pain travels around the back off my leg. I haven't run for nearly 2 weeks now. How long does recovery take?
Hi Christopher. All this advice is really helpful and hands on treatment and stretches are important.
Other thing you need to ensure though is that you address your stability as shin splints are often due to an issue with loading and that you are not maybe strong enough (especially at your trunk) to absorb the load from running. About 8 times your body weight. Your calves and muscles in the front of the shin get tight to protect the body and lower back so stretches just eases the tightness but doesn't stop it coming back.
A physio and a running assessment can see if you are recruiting well enough through your core/gluts. If you are heel striking infront or collapsing at your trunk as you strike the floor you need to address these imbalances with strengthening otherwise you will continue to get problems in your shins or other points along the chain. A physio will be able to help highlight these points and teach you appropriate exercises. A running assessment would also be appropriate. If not then try downloading the app coaches eye and get someone to video you to see.
The clam or bridge exercises will be safe places to start but you will need specific advice to get the best results.
A good physio with experience of treating runners will really help to address all aspects of your running and training - shoes, training programmes, hydration etc.
Good luck - Gemma
I have similar problem to the OP in that I recently started power walking after having a not so good medical through work.
After 2 months of walking quickly every other morning for 30 minutes I progressed to 2 minutes jogging 3 minutes walking. However I then went from no pain at all to extreme pain in my shins
I've tried stretching my calfs etc for 10 minutes before jogging but no joy. I have had my gait analysed and bought the resulting trainers but the same issue persists.
I cant afford to visit a physio so maybe I will have to give up the jogging....I will however give the you tube videos kindly posted by Gemma a try first as I will be very sad to give up on jogging to try and get fit.
Forget going to the physio privately. Before laying out any cash go to the Gp who will arrange for an x ray and then refer you to an orthopaedic consultant. Only go to a physio if referred by the consultant.
Ignore anyone and any website that says they can be cured in a few weeks or less.
I'm sorry that Surrey Runner has obviously not had a good experience with physio.
I do agree to ignore anything out there that says you will be cured in a few weeks or less as there are a lot of poor physio's, osteopaths, sports therapists etc claiming inappropriate sales pitches. I appreciate who to see and where is a mind field and you might not get it right. Beware of groupon deals etc too as these are often for newly qualified physio's so the quality of care may be poor.
That said there are also some excellent physios out there that do provide a clear assessment and sound advice. The advice by Surrey Runner can result in many people waiting unecessarily to go via GP's (generally very poor musculosketal knowledge), inappopriate investigations ( x-rays contain radiation and only exclude fractures but don't often even show stress responses or stress fractures- what you would be looking for with shin splints) and finally to a consultant (who 90% of the time recommends a physio for shin splints). A timely and often unnecessary process.
By seeing a good musculoskeletal physio first they can give you a clear diagnosis, majority of the time help resolve the problem without other intevention but also can determine if a referral to a consultant is necessary to exclude more serious problems. We have a policy in our practice- if the problem is not improving in 2 sessions (when it should be) a referral is made to a consultant or recommendation to the GP for further investigations.
Simon - you may need to include some slightly harder and more specific strengthening exercises to get back to jogging without pain but these you tube ones are pretty safe to get going on and will certainly help you wake up some of those buttock muscles!
Good luck
If you follow my advice you won't waste a fortune for limited or no gain. I have had shin splints (mtss) since April with minimal improvement despite regular physio sessions.
Have seen two different private physios both of whom were experineced and supposedly specialised in sports injuries. The first recemmeded that I run with a large overstride, the second recomened that I do a 10k race (was agony). Both recomened that I continue running.
Best thing for shin splints is too get them checked by a doctor to see if there is a fracture and to simply cease all running for three months then try a little run. If sore cease for longer. Unfortunetely for the physio this kind of advice doesn't earn them much. Only person on this forum who cliams to have fully recovered from shin splints stopped running for three years.
I have suffered with shin splints for around three years in total and agree that finding a cure can be very difficult.
I am not medically trained so maybe my advice should be taken with caution, but I have managed to continue competing despite my shin splints.
I am primarily a team sports player not a runner but recently I have started training for a 10k and noticed that the problem quickly got worse.
In my opinion stretching is the key, lots of calf stretching (5+ times per day) however you prefer to do it, (on a step or heel ito the floor at leaning forward) and really push the stretch.
A friend also shared another stretch I find very useful, sit back onto your heels and reach back and grab your toes. Pull your toes back up towards your shoulders straightening the ankle using as much force as you can tollerate. This is very painful if your shin splints are bad but it seems to release a lot of tension in the lower part of the shin.
As I said I don't claim to be an expert but this seems to work for me. I occasionally run through the pain (not advised) but find that if I rest everytime it flares up I would spend more time resting than competing!

Pep Guardiola signs 3-year contract as Bayern Munich's new coach
Spain's Pep Guardiola, one of the nominees for the FIFA Men's World Soccer Coach of the Year Award, attends a press conference during the FIFA Ballon d'Or Gala 2013 held at the Kongresshaus in Zurich, Switzerland, in this Jan. 7, 2013 file picture. (AP / Keystone / Walter Bieri)
The Associated Press
Published Wednesday, January 16, 2013 2:40PM EST
MUNICH, Germany -- Pep Guardiola, who led Barcelona to 14 titles over four seasons and turned the Spanish club into arguably the best team in the world, has agreed to become the coach of Bayern Munich starting next season.
Bayern announced the three-year deal on Wednesday, after a meeting of the top management.
Earlier in the day, Jupp Heynckes told Bayern he wanted to end his coaching career when his contract expires at the end of the season.
Rumours of Guardiola coming to the German powerhouse have been swirling around local media for weeks and Bayern made it official just a day after Guardiola expressed his desire to manage in England at some point.
Guardiola's arrival is a major coup for Bayern.
"You have to say, hat off," former Bayern star and president Franz Beckenbauer said.
"Matthias Sammer and Guardiola - I don't know where you can find a better partnership," Beckenbauer told Sky television, referring to Bayern's director of sport.
Even Bayern's rivals were impressed.
"A great compliment to Bayern that they have landed this coup," said Hans-Joachim Watzke, the managing director of Borussia Dortmund.
Guardiola's arrival will be good for the entire league, "because the whole world can see that they managed to bring such a coach to Germany," Watzke said.
Guardiola, who turns 42 on Friday, stepped down at the end of last season and is on a one-year sabbatical.
Under his guidance, Barcelona dominated Spanish and European competitions with its passing game and frequent scoring from standout Lionel Messi.
Barcelona won the Champions League twice during Guardiola's tenure, in 2009 and 2011, and captured three Spanish championships and two cup titles.
In his first season after being promoted from Barcelona's reserve side, Guardiola won an unprecedented treble, taking the Champions League, Spanish league and Copa del Rey.
"We are very pleased that we managed to win the football expert Pep Guardiola for Bayern Munich although he had been contacted and sought by many famous clubs," Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said. "Pep Guardiola is one of the most successful coaches in the world and we are certain that he can give a lot of lustre not only to Bayern but also to German football."
Guardiola, a former Barcelona midfielder who has never coached outside Barcelona, comes to the most scrutinized club in Germany. Bayern's top management is staffed by some of Germany's biggest past stars, with no small egos.
Bayern is Germany's biggest club, with 21 Bundesliga titles and one championship before World War II.
Bayern president Uli Hoeness said only a coach of Guardiola's calibre could be an adequate replacement for Heynckes, who will be 68 when he retires.
Bayern lost the Champions League final last season to Chelsea and has failed to win a trophy in the past two seasons.
But it has a large lead in the Bundesliga this season, which resumes this weekend. Bayern is nine points ahead of Bayer Leverkusen. Bayern also is in the knockout stage of the Champions League, with Arsenal its next opponent.
In the German Cup, Bayern faces Borussia Dortmund in the quarterfinals. Dortmund has won the last two championships and took the double last season.
Heynckes praised his own team in glowing terms last week.
"Bayern has never played such a modern, attractive and contemporary football in its history," Heynckes said.
In Bayern, Guardiola will find Spanish compatriot Javi Martinez, whose transfer was worth (euro)40 million ($53 million). The club's biggest stars are Franck Ribery, Arjen Robben, Manuel Neuer, Philipp Lahm, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Mario Gomez.

Bollywood is known for its love stories! From Dilwale Dulhaniye Le Jayenge to I Hate Luv Storys; the treatment of the stories might have changed but the essence is yet the same love! One such other love story hitting the screens tomorrow is Zayed Khan, Dia Mirza and Sahil Sanghas Love Breakups Zindagi.
Do opposites attract or repel?Is love an option or a choice?And what if "The One" is already with another?Jai (Zayed Khan) and Naina (Dia Mirza) are almost settled in their life but missing something or someone who will complete them. Jai feels that magic and serendipity have passed him by. Naina has taught herself that a less than fulfilling life is enough for her. Govind (Cyrus Sahukar) has a colorful past and is on his way to another major, seemingly all wrong relationship. Sheila (Tisca Chopra) has stayed single for a long time waiting for Mr. Perfect. Ritu (Umang Jain) lives on breakups and ice cream. Arjun (Satyadeep Misra) and Gayatri (Auritra Ghosh) are the perfect couple on the brink of a dream wedding. Dhruv (Vaibhav Talwar) and Radhika (Pallavi Sharda) are driven workaholics ignoring the small text of their lives. This film is all about their journey, choices and realizations. Taking us into the baffling core of modern relationships,the film explains That even if you don't go looking for love, it will come looking for you!
Well, theres no doubt, Love Breakups Zindagi is as clichd as it can get! From the storyline to climax; there is nothing unique about this film. However, some movies besides all its flaws are just meant to bring that one smile to the face after a tedious long day, and LBZ does exactly that. Besides its feel-good factor, the realism maintained in the film is impressive. From the dialogues to its scenes, it all seems taken out from real life. Be it Zayed or Cyrus conversations or even the marriage dance practices, the film follows a very natural realistic flow. Also, Zayed Khan and Dia Mirza being a fresh pair share some fantastic chemistry. Though, the biggest plus point for the film is that it has no unnecessary drama. Where dramatic scenes are usually a compulsory part of any love story, LBZ doesnt have much of it. There is no extra rona-dhona, no love sacrifices, no painful separations, nothing at all! The entire film is treated in a very light entertaining manner which works for it brilliantly. In fact its subtle nature adds to the "real life" effect. However, LBZ does have its share of flaws. As mentioned, the film is extremely predictable. From the very first scene, any normal viewer can predict the entire film. Also, there is not much substance in the main storyline itself. Two committed people meet, fall in love and get together as a perfect couple after their respective breakups thats all to its story! The film could have brought in something different with its parallel storylines; however, it fails to do so. In fact, except Cyrus and Tiscas story, the film doesnt give much scope to any of the parallel stories. Lastly, the film is extremely slow. It might be the films requirement; however, the film could definitely have done with a slightly faster pace.
As a director, Sahil Sangha has done an impressive job. Its not easy to re-create the same old Bollywood formula in a different manner. However, as a story writer, Sahil Sangha could have brought in some more innovation and creativity. Cinematography by Aseem Bajaj is beautiful. Screenplay by Sanyukta Seth Chawla is a little stretched at times. The music is fantastic! Kudos to the Salim-Sulaiman duo! Its refreshing to watch Zayed Khan and Dia Mirza after a considerable amount of time back on the big screen. Zayed Khan gives in a sincere effort and nearly succeeds. However, he does tend to over-act in a few scenes. Besides from looking stunning, Dia Mirza gives in a likeable act. However, her role is nothing different from her earlier popular film Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein. Cyrus Sahukar is brilliant. He brings in the fun element to the movie. Tisca Chopra looks gorgeous. However, this talented performer definitely deserves more scope. Satyadeep Mishra and Vaibhav Talwar are perfect. Umang Jain is perfect too, but is only seen eating ice creams all the time. Auritra Ghosh and Pallavi Sharda get no scope. Farida Jalal is wasted. Among the special appearances, Boman Irani is hilarious; Shah Rukh Khan overacts, whereas Ritesh Deshmukh and Shabana Azmi are okay in their bits.
If one had to concentrate only on technicalities, then yes, Love Breakups Zindagi does have a number of flaws. However, isnt the feeling you get from a film more important than all the technicalities involved? For all those who agree, Love Breakups Zindagi is for you! Love Breakups Zindagi is nothing extra-ordinary, but instead, its sweet and simple. Its one of those feel good films which make you feel content and happy. And in todays times of extreme stress and pressure, thats not a bad feeling at all!

Omake Fic: Digging Themselves in Deeper
Discussion Tools
Tarma helped me come up with the idea for this fic; we brainstormed about it while driving back home from a bar association meeting I had to attend this past Wednesday morning.
Digging Themselves in Deeper
A chill, stiff breeze whistled through the dreary autumn night, rustling the fading leaves still in the trees and driving the clouds scudding across the night sky, so that even the tiny sliver of gleaming moon was cloaked from view. Caught by the wind, those leaves that had already fallen to the side yard of the stately manor on Argentine Way leapt up from the ground, swirling like animated things seeking revenge against the one whose feet crisped their brethren underfoot.
It was the kind of night where even an elf of status and respect could shiver at the constantly-shifting shadows and the howling of the wind in the angles of the mansion walls. Gaff had seen amazing things in his service to magicians, first in the Silver Star Tower and then with Lillet Blan as she rose from apprentice to Royal Magician to Mage Consul. Amazing and occasionally fearful things. Devils wrested from the depths of hell, creations of alchemy that were no part of the natural order, and the spirits of the dead called back from beyond the grave.
It was a lot less...comfortable...imagining such things out here, in the night, in the darkness, lurking beyond his vision.
Considerably less comfortable.
"I should have brought a lantern," he muttered under his breath. He wasn't going back to the house for one, though. It wasn't
dark enough that he couldn't see outlines around him or know where he was going, so if he did go back the "it's too dark" excuse wouldn't work very well and there was a good chance other servants would think he was scared to be out in the night.
Admitting affection had never been easy for the elf, but as for
well, short of Lujei Piche or Archmage Calvaros popping up right in front of him, he'd rather have cut off his hand than admitted to
! Besides, he'd told Marté the garden elf he'd go out and find the bucket she'd left by the outside well pump and she was rather cute. An elf didn't
have to think of work, after all.
The pump was just up ahead and Gaff took a couple of quick steps towards it. Suddenly the wind whipped up again, its whistle almost like a scream, and a flying leaf brushed his cheek. Startled, he gave a cry (A yell! A
yell! Definitely
a squeal like a frightened little girl!) and leapt aside, away from the touch.
Suddenly, the ground seemed to yawn open beneath him and he found himself plunging, falling into the open embrace of the darkness below.
"Just then, Ichabod thought he heard something. A low, dull, rustling sound, like sand crumbling down a dune. His heart in his throat, he turned, and directed the beam of his dark-lantern towards where he'd thought he'd heard the noise."
Lillet Blan was a good storyteller. She had a knack for pacing, tone, and voice when she was telling a tale that helped bring it to life for the listener. It didn't seem to matter whether it was something she was telling from memory or, as in the present instance, reading from a book.
Cressidor Blan-Virgine, despite being at the terribly mature age of seven, certainly was a shameless enthusiast for storytime with Mama. Indeed, she was such a fan that she'd specially asked for a story despite that she was having a sleepover with her two best friends, Marcia Tempranillo and Jenny Smithwick. The girls weren't the only ones there for the story, either. Cress's other mother, Amoretta Virgine, was snuggled up on the couch with Lillet, head on her beloved's shoulder while she listened. Cress thought it was kind of embarrassing when her mothers were all lovey-dovey together like that, but it was pretty much a fact of life. Even Grimalkin was curled at the far end of the couch for the event.
The three girls were sitting on the library rug, listening intently, cups of hot mulled cider in their hands while the wind made the fire in the fireplace crackle and pop while it whistled in the chimney. Cress was very glad, she decided, that her puppy was a large breed. Shuck the barghest was lying sphinx-fashion behind them, while the girls were pressed up against his side. A warm, fuzzy dog was very reassuring during a scary story!
"The light fell directly upon the grave of the old miser. Ichabod's blood seemed frozen in his veins; he could only stare as the dirt shifted and crumbled, bulging up as if pushed from beneath. As he watched, the soil broke and gave way, and a dead white hand thrust upwards, cracked and broken nails clawing at the air. Another hand crawled into view, and this one day into the ground, pulling in spasming, jerking movements, and before the terrified clerk's eyes a hideous figure, crusted with grave-earth, ripped itself free from the ground! Only then did sheer panic break the spell that horror had placed on him, and he"
Before Lillet could describe how Ichabod had screamed, Jenny provided the real thing. A moment later, Cress was gasping and pointing and Marcia squealing and clinging to Shuck's fur. Alerted by the girls' fear, the barghest had leapt to his feet, red eyes ablaze with demonic fire, glaring at the figure that had appeared at the library door behind Lillet. It was all but covered in wet soil as if it, too, had just pulled itself out from where it had been buried in the earth.
Shuck had at once placed his huge, black-furred body between the girls and the thing. His lips curled back from fangs that meant Serious Business, and the rumbling growl from deep in his throat was like rocks being crushed to powder. He might just have been a puppy (if nearly full-grown), but he was definitely not going to like strange things scare Cress and her friends!
"Enough!" Lillet snapped, slamming the book shut with a noise like a thunderclap to make her point. "Shuck,
Girls, it's all right, it's just Gaff."
"It is?" Cress blinked. Shuck had sat down at once, wise puppies knowing they'd better obey when the Mage Consul used That Tone. He sniffed experimentally at the word "Gaff" and was surprised to note the scent of the one he thought of as Small Fussy Green Person coming from the mud-caked figure.
"As for you, Gaff, why are you bursting in here like that and scaring people? You knew I was reading the girls a ghost story; you should have known better. And I'd have thought you'd be the last person to track dirt through the house like that."
"I'm covered in dirt because I had to climb out of one of the pits
one dug!" He pointed dramatically at Shuck. "I went out to the well pump to fetch in a bucket Marté had left and the next thing I knew, I was crawling out of a hole!"
Shuck dipped his head with a little mewling sound. This time, though, it was Cress who leapt to
"But Shuck's
to dig in the side yard!" she cried, jumping to her feet and wrapping a protective arm around his back. "That's what you said, isn't it, Mama?"
Lillet nodded.
"It is. If you want to be angry at someone, Gaff, you should be angry at the garden staff. It's their job to fill in holes so no one gets hurt."
"See, Shuck? Mama says you're a good boy!"
The barghest wagged, thumping his tail on the carpet.
"It's very dark out," Amoretta observed curiously. "Why didn't you take a lantern, Gaff?"
The elven majordomo drew himself up with as much hauteur as he could manage while looking like a mole after a tunnel collapse. "Well, I'd like to think I can walk around my own garden without needing a light."
Grimalkin yawned.
"'Tis true, then, that pride goeth before a fall."
Author's Notes
I really wanted to mention that Jenny had screamed just like a frightened elf, but I couldn't make the sentence work without getting too clumsy...
The part about Shuck being allowed to dig in the side yard was established in the previous story, "Bring the Black Dog to Heel."
Teehee 'Small Fussy Green Person'
Good thing Shuck didn't breathe fire near Mr. Mud Cake, otherwise he'd really have been baked dry ...

Maybe that's how the first garden gnomes were created?
Very cute
. I love how Shuck is essentially such a good dog, and how Cress is one of those adorably fair and "champion-of-the-oppressed" kind of kids
Fuyu no Sora
*chuckles* You know, the ancient Greeks would be hooting at this one. They were always very big on this "hubris" business...not that I think elves would mind human history and literature much, but nonetheless, Gaff could use the readings.
I like how it's clearly and simply shown that Lillet is in charge. With a simple "Enough" and a few other commands, everyone goes back to their 'stations', if you will. I do like these little shows of authority. They're little reminders that Lillet is a badass.
...And yes, I also laughed at Small Fussy Green Person.
Thank you both!
About Cress, I think it pretty much all boils down to what was said in the third story I wrote about her (the one where she gets Shuck as a puppy): her mothers are big on responsibility. In essence, she's been raised on a lot of "see things how they are" life lessons, and having Amoretta as a parent (Lillet isn't bad at it, either, of course, but Amoretta isn't human so her priorities come out a bit different so she's very unlikely to have the kind of lapses in the area that we normal folk do) has really helped back those lessons up with good parental examples.
(*reading last paragraph*) ...Oh, God, I think I've recreated Nanoha.
(er, mostly just kidding
Though "Ferocious Sense of Responsibility" is pretty much Ms. Takamachi's primary character trait...)
posted to fanfiction.net
as this month's omake (though there'll be a special one for Halloween when I post the one with Cress's Halloween costume...)!
Made an additional comment in the FF.net review...I think it would be absolutely adorable to see a picture of the ginormous Shuck, with flames and smoke tendrils coming out of his mouth and glowing red eyes...with an adorable Cress lying sprawled on his huge back and snuggled into his fur
*cough cough* I wonder who could draw such a thing? *cough cough*
She would absolutely have to have a book while she was doing that...or be sleeping, one of the two.
Hmmm...I wonder indeed who would be able to draw such a thing...?
Excuse me while I have a brain-to-hand-spasm due to cuteness overload.
EDIT: *points at gallery*
An exercise in catastrophic inking. Cress turned out mostly unscathed tho
"Catastrophic inking"? Is that why the tips of Shuck's paws came out the way they did? (Without knowing what to look for, I can only guess what you mean...if you meant some of the outlines of his body, it only looks like Shuck needs a good brushing to get tousled fur to lay flat.
I love you yui!
Commented in the gallery ^^.
...and from Dezo's comment on how Shuck needs a good brushing, I now have a mental image of Cress brushing him with a huge scrub brush that looks normal-sized next to his bulk XD. Cuteness imagery is contagious!

Ah, I was actually referring to the errant cross-hatching. This was the first time in at least 5 years that I actually inked anything on paper (hence the grainy background which I might one day do something about
). Lately I've been having more trouble with shading than I recall... not sure why o.o

Now I'm imagining Gaff trying to use said scrub....

Be the Best You Can Be by Lending an Ear to Leadership
They state that to comprehend the situation of a person better, you need to be that individual—and it's not dressing up and behaving the same way as s/he does. In most instances, it only takes lending an ear to what the person has to say for you to understand his/her side on a certain matter. A really good leader understands how to listen to his/her subordinates too.
Without a doubt, paying attention is an important element in effective leadership. It's inadequate that your side is the law, as you ought to take the other side into consideration as well. Your plan for success may have a set of weaknesses the other plan can answer if the two work hand in hand. Listed here are some useful techniques on how to pay attention to your coworkers so that everybody will be happy.
Look steadily. Focus on the person talking; don't look right, left, down, up, behind him/her, or not to mention, fall asleep. Looking at the person speaking is a great gesture that suggests that the person has your full attention. Not only will you hear your colleague's two cents, but also make him/her feel that you're taking his/her recommendation seriously.
Ask after Being Asked. If you were asked how your weekend went, it is considerate to answer immediately and ask the person the same. This will certainly make the individual feel that you look after your fellow employees where the deed can earn you some recognition. Of course, ask appropriate questions.
Give Your Praise. Because leadership and management training teaches aspiring leaders to be a role model for others, it implies you should share what you have actually learned. When your colleague submits his/her work, evaluate it, and give it some helpful evaluation. Any errors pointed out in and opinions and suggestions for a piece of work can help make a better variation in the future. Believe it or not, s/he'll remember you for the things you said.
Toughen Up. Be prepared to answer difficult queries your coworkers may ask you. While you may not precisely be a smart aleck, it pays to share what you know with others so that they have a good idea of what to do. Leadership consulting experts say that the road to becoming an efficient leader is a bumpy one, but it's an accessible road nevertheless.
For more information on just how listening skills can contribute to effective leadership, go to BusinessWeek.com. If you're prepared to lend an ear and become a leader, take advantage of management training seminars in your location.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Tennessee Titans and NFL Talk' started by J Falk, Dec 19, 2012.
I had to.... lol
Just so you know. RG3 not included.
Yeah well he seemed to do alright with Kirk Cousins so ...
I wouldn't mind Kyle Shanahan either. But, I see him as a Jason Garrett type guy. Good OC, but doesn't have what it takes to make a HC. His offense is amazing right now, but what happens when coordinaors start to pick it up... hopefully he'll be able to change it up. I'd still take him over MM.
If just seems like he knows how to tailor an offense to a specifc skill set in a QB, and to a young QB. Thats why I want him. They aren't having RG3 run your prototypical NFL offense because he is young and not ready for it. However he is learning and developing right now while winning games. He will transition into a true NFL offense over the next year or two probably.
But they do run a lot of things similar to the Texans. They have a great PA game, and they get guys WIDE open running down the field, and the QBs are able to make some very easy throws. It was worked for the texans so far, it is working for the Redskins now so I don't think it is a gimmick or anything.
You're right though, there is no telling if he would be a good HC, but the same can be said for anyone. Even former HCs don't always find success with different teams. No matter who we hire it will be a risk. I just think that Shanahan will know how to deal with a young QB.
any of the above other than Herm Edwards or Nick Saban. Would rather have Munchak than those two scrubs.
Saban is 2nd on my list of most NOT wanted NCAA coaches, transitioning into the NFL.. #1 is Petrino.
Couldn't agree more. I wonder if he'd leave his dad though. My top 3 options
1: Jon Gruden
2: Kyle Shanahan
3: Ray Horton
Sadly, I don't think we have a chance at any of the 3.
We don't
Gruden's not afraid to put a boot in someones "A". Guy coaches with passion, but he wont give up his cool gig on MNF IMO.
Anyone except the first option.

From libertarian Michael A. LaFerrara at Principled Perspectives:
What's disappointing is that Cruz clearly understands rights. Why didn't he just come out and say it?: Rights are guarantees to freedom of action to pursue your own goals and flourishing, not a automatic claim on goods and services that others must be forced to provide.
Cruz certainly implied it. But he needn't have relied on implication. He quotes from the Declaration of Independence, which guarantees the right to the pursuit, not "access," to happiness. Pursuit is a much clearer term: "So what is a right is the pursuit of health care" would have been a better line. Having "access" implies getting it. By fudging it, Cruz gave Sanders a great opening: "She has access. But she doesn't have enough money." Sanders is right on Cruz's own terms, and he took full advantage it. If you're going to argue for a right to access, then you're implying that there is a right to access the money to pay for it.
Cruz needn't have set himself up this way.

Any idea if Lucas or another company might pursue a tv cartoon series of alien chronicles or a actual animated movie series or sci fi movie series? I think Alien chronicles would be an excellent movie series! or cartoon. Anyone else agree? Come on George Lucas what are you waiting for? =)

Frustrating?! A person writing a Trilogy doesn't stop after the second book. The writer, as well as the publisher, has a responsibility to their readers. I'm sorry, but that's just ridiculous!

Read THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT before THE QUEEN'S KNIGHT. THE KING BETRAYED can be read in any order, as it's not directly connected to the Queen series, but just parallels them. Sorry for the confusion.

Before you suggest Amazon or something, let me just say that it is listed as "NOT AVAILABLE". The actually wording is: "THIS TITLE IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE. If you would like to purchase this title, we recommend that you occasionally check this page to see if it has become available." :(

My newest book is THE QUEEN'S KNIGHT. It came out last month, and features Pheresa and Talmor. This summer I wrote another book about Dain and his children, including Anoc. It's called THE KING IMPERILED, and should be out about November.

Would you mind being more specific? Do you have a URL address? Do you know for certain that the 3rd book was released in audio? I've checked a number of sources already, and have yet to find it.

My beard helped me think better: Farhan Akhtar
Farhan Akhtar on letting go of 18 months of hard work building his body to look like Milkha Singh in his new film
His new film may be more than three hours long, but every minute reinforces the fact that Farhan Akhtar pumped iron to get into the fittest form of his life. But now that the film is done and released, Farhan is still coming to terms with letting go of his hard-earned fruits of labour.
You prepped for 18 months to become Milkha on screen. Will it be easy to now let go?
It has been a difficult process —emotional, mental as well as physical. It takes time to move on. It is important to not get stuck emotionally. You need to shed your old skin in order to let the new skin replace it. Will you believe it if I say that I really got used to the beard and the long hair, so much so that it actually helped me think better. (Laughs) But it is difficult to keep up with the routine as I have my other films as well.
What are you actually glad of letting go?
I had changed my lifestyle completely for the film. I had changed my diet as well as my sleeping pattern. A lot of friends felt that I was ignoring them, as I had to sleep by 10pm. So getting back with my friends is something that I am looking forward to.
Will you do another biopic soon?
It will be wonderful if it happens but it should inspire me as much as this one.
Fukrey has managed to do quite well at the box office.
The best victory is the one that takes you out of your comfort zone. Fukrey was out of my comfort zone for us and we were taking a risk with the film. We are happy it paid off.
You have already begun shooting for your next with Vidya.
It's sweet and romantic. It doesn't need as much prep as Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.
