Student Group Recognition Policy
The Center for Leadership and Service coordinates the process of student group recognition on all Kean University campuses. These student groups include honor societies, funded and non-funded groups, fraternities, sororities and student governments.
For policies relating specifically to chartering or recognition of a Greek letter organization, please review the Greek Senate Constitution and Bylaws by clicking here.
Groups seeking recognition status at Kean University have certain responsibilities:
- It is the responsibility of the organization's President and/or Secretary to complete the Student Group Recognition Process for recognized student groups and Honor Societies on Cougar Link each semester. The Student Group Recognition Process must be successfully completed on Cougar Link by:
- Fall Registration Date: the third Tuesday in April. (updated 2/1/12)
- Fall LATE Registration Date: the first Tuesday in October (for new student groups who missed the fall deadline).
- Spring Registration Date: the first Tuesday in December.
- Spring LATE Registration Date: the first Tuesday in February (for new student groups who missed the spring deadline).
Honor Society Recognition Forms will be accepted throughout the year. However, early submission of these forms is encouraged. Any exceptions must be approved by the Director of the Center for Leadership and Service.
Submission of all forms on Cougar Link in a timely manner ensures your group's name will be listed in University publications, entitles the group to on campus scheduling privileges and helps individual members receive credit on Co-Curricular Transcripts (CCT).
- New student groups and organizations must upload a Constitution which outlines the student group's structure and purpose as a component of the Student Group Recognition Process on Cougar Link. The official name of the group will be determined by the name defined in the Constitution. All groups must function in accordance with their Constitution.
- A group must consist of ten (10) registered students who are in good academic and disciplinary standing within the University. Active membership is limited to faculty, staff and officially registered students. This policy does not apply to Greek-letter organizations.
- A group and its members must comply with all University policies and regulations; with federal, state and local laws; and with regulations of the parent organization as applicable.
- A group and its members must accept responsibility for all financial obligations incurred and decisions made as an organization.
- A group must have a full-time Kean University faculty/staff advisor who is appointed for a one-year term and approved by the Center for Leadership and Service. Each of the two established student governments must employ at least one full-time Kean University professional staff member. Faculty advisors are selected by each student organization to support the organization and serve in a volunteer capacity.
- An executive board member of a group must notify the Center for Leadership and Service immediately in writing of any changes in group name, names of members, advisor and/or change in the Constitution.
- Organizations seeking financial support must follow the guidelines established by the funding organization.
- All members of student groups must adhere to student group policies and regulations. Failure to do so may subject the group or organization to a maximum sanction of termination of recognition from the University.
- Recognition will be denied to any organization which selects its members on the basis of ancestry, race, marital status, color, sex, religion, gender, age, national origin, affectional or sexual orientation, disability or liability for service in the armed forces.
- All student group executive officers must fulfill a mandatory training requirement by attending and participating in the Student Group Leadership Conference, or equivalent.

Comments about Samson Auro D210 2-Way Active PA Speaker:
These make great stage monitors for pretty much every show I play. DJs love them because they give a good range of sound from lows to highs and because they don't take up much space in the booth. A lot of bands have really liked them for the same space saving feature so they can place them around the stage near the person who needs them the most. I couldn't be happier with everything these speakers offer.

Comments about Samson Auro D210 2-Way Active PA Speaker:
I just purchased this speaker at my local Sam Ash Music Store. I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted but I did know that I needed some type of powered monitor for my Samson Expedition 308i system. I originally used a small Kustom powered speaker and that broke down after about a month. So far I am happy with this speaker. It is small but that does not take away from the sound strength. It has a decent bottom sound for a small speaker, more than you'd get out of a passive speaker of the same size. The only thing that I do not like about this speaker is that it's really not good for running a microphone directly through it. When you try to run a mic through it you have to turn the volume up very high and it clips and/or feeds back. I don't use it for this reason so it does not affect me but if you are looking for a powered speaker to use for any kind of speaking events this is probably not the way to go. For this reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars because I really am happy with the sound it produces.

What's That Song? Sounds Like Sex!
Original Photo by tup wanders — Some Rights Reserved
Science now proves what every Casanova knows – a little music helps.
In a study commissioned by Spotify, a scientist has discovered a link between specific songs and successful seductions. Dr. Daniel Müllensiefen, who teaches "Music, Mind and Brain" in the psychology department at Goldsmiths, University of London, analyzed the responses of 2,000 participants to find both the music-to-sex connection and also which songs are the best aphrodisiacs.
Dr. Müllensiefen already knew that music activates pleasures center in the brain. He was curious what music produces the best results. "People use this music to not only communicate their intentions in a romantic situation but to directly alter the mood during an encounter," according to the good doctor.
Apparently different songs can create different opportunities. Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" and "Sexual Healing" are best for creating a romantic mood. Abba's "Dancing Queen" is best for flirting while dancing. And for consummating all that music and mood preparation? Any song from the movie soundtrack "Dirty Dancing" is the favorite. (Wow. Who were those 2,000 participants?)
Another significant finding from Müllensiefen's study: one in three of the participants reported that Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" is a song that is "better than sex." (Good to know their music choices are better than their movie choices.)
For couples-to-be around the world Dr. Müllensiefen gives the ultimate guide:
Top 10 Get In the Mood Songs
1. Marvin Gaye – Sexual Healing
2. Marvin Gaye – Let's Get It On
3. Barry White – Anything by the artist
4. Serge Gainsbourg – Je T'aime
5. Kings of Leon – Sex on Fire
6. Hot Chocolate – You Sexy Thing
7. Ravel – Bolero
8. Boyz To Men – I'll Make Love To You
9. Chris De Burgh – Lady in Red
10. R Kelly – Bump & Grind
Top 10 Songs To Play During Couples' Play
1. Dirty Dancing – any music from the soundtrack
2. Marvin Gaye – Sexual Healing
3. Ravel – Bolero
4. Berlin – Take My Breath Away
5. Barry White – Anything by the artist
6. Marvin Gaye – Let's Get It On
7. Righteous Brothers – Unchained Melody
8. Celine Dion – Titanic Soundtrack / My Heart Will Go On
9. Serge Gainsbourg – Je T'aime
10. Whitney Houston – I Will Always Love you

Updated List of Products that Facilitate Virtual Law Practice
I have finally updated the list of products and services used by virtual law firms whether its for direct online delivery of legal services to clients or for remote lawyering in general.
This fall I taught a course on technology in law practice which required that I research and update myself on all of the new products and services out there, including iPad and other mobile device apps that could be used in practice management for a virtual law firm. The updated list is here. As always, suggestions are welcome.

Why do I push you away?
You see the marks, you know what's happening. I don't know if you've admitted it to yourself that I'm actually doing that to myself, but subconsciously you know. I don't hide what I'm feeling when we look each other in the eyes and you question the evidence.
I just realized that I've never actually lied about it either. I never said I didn't cause those marks on my arm when you found them, I just looked at you and said, "It's been there for a week now, surprised you didn't see it earlier."
You see me when it starts. We'll be riding down the road, or walking hand in hand, or just sitting there together. I'll start to space out, I forget to smile, I get defensive over my stuff and start to hide. You try to make me laugh. You'll poke me, and when I don't respond I see the look you get. Like when a child's favorite toy was lost and they want to do anything to get it back, but nothing is working. you ask me what's wrong. you try to get me to talk. Eventually I force a smile so you won't worry. I'll try to talk or turn on the radio.
You've mentioned depression to me before. But I wouldn't talk about it. I don't want you to know that I'm that weak. I want to be mentally strong, because I'm physically weak. you know how much I hate being weak, how much I hate everyone doing things for me. I don't want you to see me when I cry, or when I have a panic attack, or when I get depressed. I won't even write this confession somewhere you can read it. Because I'm ashamed.
You try everything you can to help me. You respect my wishes to not talk about it. I know I'm hurting you, and I'm sorry. Sorry. I seem to be saying that word a lot. I wish I could make it up to you. I wish I wasn't such a terrible girlfriend. I wish I could just be happy.
I love you, thank you for everything.

Join National Geographic photographer Phil Schermeister for an intensive 3 day workshop in one of the most iconic and dramatic settings for landscape photography in North America: Mono Lake and the spectacular East Side of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains! Phil has completed dozens of major natural history photo assignments for the National Geographic Society from the grasslands of the windswept Dakotas to Mexico's remote Copper Canyon and has been photographing the unique geologic features of the Sierra Nevada's East Side for more than 15 years. National Geographic has published six of his single-photographer books including "Range of Light" which highlights the natural beauty of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Each participant will get a signed copy of one of Phil's National Geographic books.
Mono Lake All Digital Masters Photographic Workshops with
3 Day Workshop
Price: $1095 per person (Includes Lodging)
During this workshop at Mono Lake and other areas of the dramatic Eastern Sierra, Phil will teach you techniques he has learned during more than 20 years of photographing all types of natural landscapes. He'll open his camera bag and share the tools he uses to consistently get exceptional images under any conditions while on assignment. You'll learn how to respond to the unique geological features we encounter and make the most of changing weather to get the best possible pictures in all of the spectacular settings we visit. We'll photograph the surreal monolithic tufa towers of calcified rock at Mono Lake, the spectacular wall of the Eastern Sierra Nevada as well as aspen-lined canyons and rushing streams then pay a visit to Bodie; one of the most scenic and best-preserved ghost towns in America. The small size of this workshop allows Phil to give maximum attention to each participant. This information-packed and fun workshop is strictly limited to 9 students.
The Mono Lake Masters Photographic Workshops are designed to help beginners get started and intermediate or advanced students to sharpen their vision and expand their
creative thinking. Some of the skills you'll master include understanding and adjusting camera settings for optimum results, bracketing, depth of field, correct exposure in all conditions, correct color temperature, use of various filters, composition and use of color and form. On and off camera flash as well as other artificial lighting techniques will be discussed. Beyond equipment, Phil will discuss and teach important intangible skills needed for consistently good photography including how to identify your own "personal vision" and how to "break the rules" to create unique images. We will be photographing sunrises, sunsets, sweeping vistas, clouds, water reflections and more. Phil will give students exercises to put into practice the techniques they learn. He will review students work in the field as they photograph and discuss digital workflow and the processing of digital pictures. You'll leave with great pictures and most importantly, the skills to see and create better pictures well beyond the workshop.
Workshop Dates:
October 4-6, 2014
Limited to 9 students with a 5 person minimum
All skill Levels Welcome
The Itinerary:
Our workshop will start at 3pm (1-3pm) when we meet in the town of Lee Vining to get acquainted and briefly talk about equipment and techniques before heading out for a sunset shoot at Mono Lake's ghostly and photogenic Tufa Tower formations. We'll then head into Lee Vining for dinner. Participants are encouraged to bring work for Phil to critique after dinner.
Next day we rise early and shoot the sunrise at another location at or near Mono Lake or Silver Lake then head back to Lee Vining for breakfast. Then we'll bring a picnic lunch and head to Lundy Canyon to photograph aspens, waterfalls and wildflowers. After picnicking in Lundy Canyon, we'll head to the ghost town of Bodie for an afternoon of shooting at this amazing site before finishing the workshop at 3 pm.
Yosemite's Eastside Masters 1 Day Photographic Workshop with
Price: $325 per person
Beyond Yosemite Valley, the Eastern edge of Yosemite holds many wonders of its own including glacier- scoured peaks, vast meadows, pristine lakes and twisted Jeffrey pines perched on giant slabs of granite. We'll be exploring some of the best of these features during this 6 hour workshop as you learn composition, color balance, use of color and form, bracketing, depth of field and the use of various filters. On and off camera flash as well as other artificial lighting techniques will also be discussed. We'll also learn how to work with weather to produce the most dramatic pictures in any given situation. We'll visit several of Eastern Yosemite's most photogenic spots including: Olmsted Point with its many dramatic glacial erratics and spectacular views of Half Dome; Tenaya Lake, one of Yosemite's most beautiful lakes and Lembert Dome which soars 800 feet above Tuolumne Meadows. This workshop is designed to help beginners get started and intermediate or advanced students sharpen their vision and expand their creative thinking. Phil will discuss some of the important intangible skills needed for consistently good photography including your own 'personal vision" and how to "break the rules" to create unique images. The small class size allows Phil to give maximum individual attention to each student.
Workshop Dates:
September 2014
October 2014
Limited to 9 students with a 3 person minimum
All skill Levels Welcome
Reserve this workshop by registering here. Workshop spaces are filled on a first-come-first-served basis and these are very popular workshops so early registration is suggested. There is a 10% discount for returning YExplore students from the last two years.
Lodging and Transportation:
Please make your lodging reservations as soon as you register for this workshop, otherwise you may not be able to reserve a room in town! For a complete list of Lee Vining accommodations click here. Leevining.com There are many very nice campgrounds nearby as well. Students will also need to provide their own transportation and meals for the workshop. We will be eating most meals together(see itinerary), however you are free to bring your own food. Carpooling will be encouraged to minimize our carbon footprint in getting to and from our various locations.
What to Bring: A willingness to learn and a sense of adventure.
Camera Equipment
Your digital SLR camera and lenses: Try to bring as much coverage lense-wise from 20mm to 200mm or longer. We may see wildlife in the areas we are photographing.
Macro lens: This is not required but will help considerably with details.
Tripod: This is a necessity for all our workshops since we will be shooting in low light conditions and it can often be windy so the sturdier the tripod the better.
Camera Manual: This is essential since students may have a range of equipment. Familiarize yourself with your camera's functions before you arrive. The most important settings to know are: Manual Operation, AV, TV, white balance, ASA, single shot vs. motor drive, over/under exposure bracketing and time delay shutter release).
Filters: Bring a circular polarizer if you have one. This helps with reflections and allows you to shoot with more options throughout the day. A soft step graduated neutral density filter. (GND) is helpful since we will be learning how to use one. Call if you need help with any of these filters.
Extra camera batteries and flash cards: Shooting with long exposures and frequent checking of our images drains batteries fast. We will be shooting a lot of pictures and RAW format fills up flash cards quickly. If your batteries are dead or you run out of memory your photography will end abruptly.
Other: A camera cable release is helpful but not required. A small leveling device that fits on your camera may also be helpful.
Headlamp or flashlight: A headlamp works best since it frees your hands for working with your camera in low light.
Layered clothing and good walking shoes are essential. Weather conditions can change rapidly in the mountains and desert. Be prepared to be involved in outdoor elements which can include rain and wind. A waterproof rain shell is lightweight and protects against both. Nylon pants and shirts dry fast when wet and are as comfortable as cotton. Also needed are a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and a water bottle. All workshops include walking and some hiking over uneven terrain but nothing extremely strenuous. Please call us if you have any questions regarding the physical nature of the workshops
Snacks such as trail mix, etc. are a good idea to eat during the day to keep your energy at a high level as we will be on the move much of the day. We will be taking a picnic lunch with us the 2nd day.
Does weather cancel?
Workshops will be canceled only if condition pose a safety risk. Adverse weather often produces dynamic photo possibilities. If the forecast calls for rain be sure to bring something such as a plastic bag to keep your camera dry. The challenge and fun of outdoor photography means that we're subject to weather conditions we can't control and will need to adjust our itinerary accordingly. Come ready for anything because we'll be moving around to get in the best photographic situations to capture stunning images. Have questions ready to ask Phil. All students should arrive on time and be prepared to work with Phil and each other to help make the workshop a success.
What else could cancel the workshop?
Workshops could potentially be canceled if the minimum requirement of participants is not met. In that case, we will provide a reasonable alternative workshop choice for participants to decide if they would like to continue.
Phil Schermeister grew up on the Great Plains where the simplicity of the landscape and the directness of the people still influence his work. His interest in nature photography was kindled when he started working for the National Geographic Society on an assignment in the Flint Hills of Kansas. In the 20 years since that first assignment, he has traveled to all fifty states and several countries while successfully completing more than 30 major assignments for various national Geographic Society publications. Some of his assignments have included Mexico's Copper Canyon, Canada's Icefields Parkway, and the Cherokee Indian Trail of Tears. He has worked on natural history projects for the Society in dozens of National Parks, Seashores, Recreation Areas, Wild and Scenic Rivers, and National Wildlife Refuges. Schermeister has also completed several single-photographer books for the National Geographic including "America's Western Edge", "America's National Parks", and "Dakotas: Where the West Began".
Closer to home, his coverage of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains was featured in a National Geographic book entitled "The Range of Light: California's Sierra Nevada". After 20 years of photographing in Yosemite, he continues to work for the National Geographic and was featured in a 2005 article titled: "Beyond the Valley of Wonders". Phil works for other clients and makes his home in Sonora, CA.
This itinerary is the exclusive property of Phil Schermeister. If the workshop does not meet its minimum requirement, YExplore will offer an alternative workshop in this region that will follow a different itinerary if possible.

As you mature are you changing? How? Better-Worse-Happier-Sadder
As a man in my mid sixties I often reflect on how I have changed and still changing. Grew up in a family of extremely modest means, married, divorced, raised four sons, built and sold two nice size companies, lived in five different states, traveled extensively, made and kept a few life friends, made and lost many friends and I am now a ten year (stage four) Head/Neck cancer survivor. These and the many day to day life experiences have evolved me into the current me. Am I happy with that? What do I need or want to change? What do I need or want to still do?

Prayerful pleas,

Aromatherapy as an Aid Against Exhaustion
Exhaustion: Our modern arch-nemesis. Echoing through the hallways and courtyards of American workplaces is the battle cry of our busy society, "I'm exhausted!"
Never fear; help is a sniff away!
We feel it from the balls of our achy feet to the roots of our hair, a fatigue so pervasive and profound that it's hard to recall how we felt before it became an accepted part of our lifestyle.
Anxiety, rage, and a sense of helplessness can all be symptoms of exhaustion. When our body's energy stores are constantly being depleted without rejuvenation, everyday tasks become a source of strain and frustration. A constant state of fatigue can also take its toll on your immune system, leaving you vulnerable to every little bug that crosses your path.
Exacerbated by irregular and insufficient sleeping patterns, a lifestyle low in essential vitamins and minerals, plus a lack of exercise, may make recovering from real exhaustion a challenge. In fact, you may require some fundamental lifestyle changes. By eating a regular and healthy diet, and by adding a regular exercise routine to your daily regimen, you may begin to overcome your exhaustion, but sometimes making even these drastic changes is an exhausting endeavor.
Essential oils can make a dynamic difference in your fight against fatigue, particularly when used in conjunction with a healthy diet and moderate exercise. Stress is usually a major hidden culprit in exhaustion, as it is in so many other ailments. This is actually good news, because stress relief is one of the areas in which aromatherapy is most useful. Effectively addressing exhaustion with aromatherapy requires two-steps daily, one in the evening and one in the morning. This therapy is so pleasant, however, that you will welcome it as a decadent addition to your routine.
Evening Exhaustion Eliminators
Evening: Rest & Relaxation
You desperately need a good night's sleep, but desperate people don't tend to slumber soundly. The key is to unwind and relax your mind before climbing into bed. Essential oils can assist even the busiest brain in letting go for a few precious hours. Create a blend of Roman chamomile, rose geranium, palmarosa, and French lavender in a carrier (or base) oil. (Almond oil is excellent for dry skin and hazelnut is great if you tend to be oily.) If the sandman seems to have lost your address altogether, substitute marjoram for the geranium.
Palmarosa is a little known close cousin to lemongrass and citronella. It is wonderfully subtle, reminiscent of rose geranium but softer, rounder and more relaxing at a deeper subconscious level.

St. Augustine Church, Philadelphia: Immigration & Filipino TransformationPosted October 1st, 2007 by Anonymous
Filipino American National Historical Society with Scribe Video Center
This video is available for purchase as part of a Precious Places Community History Project Vol.1 compilation DVD.
St. Augustine Church has been continually transformed by immigrants throughout its two century history. It has nourished many generations, beginning with Irish and German immigrants, who have made their home in the river wards of old Philadelphia. Anti-Irish, anti-catholic nativists burned the church to the ground in 1844, but the church was rebuilt and subsequently became a major institution of the neighborhood.
Filipino American National Historical Society – PA chapter is a local group that works to promote Filipino American history. FANHS PA's project begins to document just one segment of the larger history of Filipino Americans in Philadelphia: the Filipino American community of St. Augustine's Church at 4th and Vine.

Did like the food selection.
Three things: 1) this was supposed to be a jazz brunch, but there was no live jazz band; 2) some of the food selections were cold; and 3) the bloddy marys were watered down.

Local realtor predicts 'upswing' for homes in 2010
Published on Wed, Oct 21, 2009 by
Jack Kintner
Read More
A market upswing for selling houses that cost less than $300,000 is in store for Blaine and Birch Bay, according to Birch Bay realtor and local radio show host Mike Kent. "The sweet spot is from $200,000 to $250,000," Kent said, citing figures that show "pendings," houses on which a buyer has made an offer that's been accepted but has not yet closed, are up almost 20 percent over the same period last year.
The picture remains anything but rosy, Kent said, but there is reason for some optimism even though "the number of sales in August dropped 29 percent over the same month last year," saying that the higher number of pending sales cited above should make for a stronger fall market.
Kent cited three market forces that will help influence an upswing in sales. "Right now, first time home buyers, including those who have not owned a home in three or more years, get an $8,000 tax credit. There are also a lot of Canadian buyers looking for second or vacation homes. And finally, there will be a shortage of inventory in the spring because builders aren't getting financing right now. It's apparently a little too risky for banks to loan to someone who's building a spec house right now."
Kent also said that the market is very price sensitive, something he said was demonstrated by the difference between the average list price ($500,000) and the actual selling price ($221,000) in Blaine and Birch Bay.
"I expect a pronounced shortage of homes in Blaine in particular come early spring as there is little in the way of new construction coming out of the ground and as inventory starts reducing the builders will not be able to produce product in time for the uptick in demand," Kent said. "This could put upward pressure on homes in the 200-250 (thousand) range in the first quarter of 2010."

When U.S. Senior District Judge Jed Rakoff rejected a $285 million settlement between Citigroup and the Securities and Exchange Commission last fall, he offered a stern rebuke to SEC lawyers who'd suggested his role was not to protect the public interest. "A court, while giving substantial deference to the views of an administrative body vested with authority over a particular area, must still exercise a modicum of independent judgment in determining whether the requested deployment of its injunctive powers will serve, or disserve, the public interest," Rakoff wrote in his oft-quoted ruling. "Anything less would not only violate the constitutional doctrine of separation of powers but would undermine the independence that is the indispensible attribute of the federal judiciary."
In the months since, at least three other federal judges have cited Rakoff in questioning whether settlements proposed by federal agencies serve the public interest, two in SEC cases and one in a Federal Trade Commission case. The SEC adopted a minor, mostly cosmetic revision in the policy that so provoked Rakoff — in which defendants are permitted to settle without admitting liability — but otherwise insisted that such compromises are the very foundation of federal enforcement efforts.
On Thursday, the agency's position received a very powerful endorsement from the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals. A three-judge panel ruled that the SEC's case should be stayed pending a joint appeal of Rakoff's ruling by the agency and Citigroup, overturning a Rakoff order that the case proceed. The extraordinary 17-page appellate ruling concludes that Citi and the SEC are likely to succeed in their argument that Rakoff was wrong to reject the settlement.
"The S.E.C. asserts that its settlement is in the public interest and that its access to a stay so as to protect the settlement is also in the public interest," said the per curiam ruling by Judges John Walker, Pierre Leval, and Rosemary Pooler. "We are bound in such matters to give deference to an executive agency's assessment of the public interest …. We have no reason to doubt the SEC's representation that the settlement it reached is in the public interest. We see no bases for any contention that the SEC's decision to enter into the settlement was 'arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law.'"
Rakoff "misinterpreted" precedent on his discretion to evaluate the public interest, the appellate judges found, and exceeded his judicial authority: "The responsibilities for assessing the wisdom of such policy choices and resolving the struggle between competing views of the public interest are not judicial ones," the opinion said.

Spinning 101
Have you grown tired of your usual workout regimen? Are you looking to move past your fitness plateau with something a little different? If so, spinning may be just the option for you. This contemporary aerobic exercise, conducted on a specially designed stationary bicycle, has gained much popularity in the past few years.
During the workout, you pedal to energizing music while the instructor creates an outdoor environment for you to visualize and emulate in your cycling style. Your pace and resistance vary throughout the class, and your position ranges from standing to staying seated in the "saddle."
The Pros of Spinning
In addition to being an effective form of aerobic activity (burning roughly 500 calories in 50 minutes, depending on your body weight and level of exertion), spinning tones the quadriceps and hamstrings, along with working the back and hips. And because of its stationary aspect, it doesn't involve much in the way of coordination. As a result, you won't find yourself lost in confusing dance moves, and it's much easier to focus on your form and get the most out of your workout.
Spinning is also suitable for various fitness levels because, although you're listening to an instructor, you can control your pace and resistance. The best part? No one will notice if you turn your resistance down a bit or reduce your pace, just as long as you get through the workout.
The Cons of Spinning
As with most any exercise, spinning does have some downsides. It doesn't work all of the leg muscles equally, so it's important to supplement your classes with other cross-training activities to prevent discrepancies in muscle groups. And because spinning can be rough on the joints and lower back, it's recommended that you take at least a day off between workouts, in order to give your body a rest.
The Costs of Spinning
Spinning costs can vary depending upon both location and facility. Most gyms offer free spin classes with memberships, whereas drop-in classes can vary from $10 to $25. Often, buying classes in bulk is your best bet; they generally average about $175 for a 10-session package.

Les Miserables isn't out in theaters until December 25, but Anne Hathaway -- who plays the struggling factory worker Fantine -- is already setting off the critics by discussing the lengths she went to during production of the film. Anne, who already has a slim frame, famously dropped 25 pounds for the role, losing 10 pounds with a cleanse, and then another 15 in just two weeks (whaaaat!) by going on a "near-starvation diet." More specifically, according to a new interview the actress gave Vogue, all she ate were two thin squares of dried oatmeal paste a day. What the hell?!
I understand many actors feel it's necessary to employ method acting for certain parts. I understand that Hollywood encourages weight loss or weight gain for certain parts. But seriously, two weeks on, what, 100 calories a day?! How is that okay? Unsurprisingly, but worst of all, it's almost as if Vogue is glorifying what she did.
Anne defended the diet:
I had to be obsessive about it -- the idea was to look near death. Looking back on the whole experience -- and I don't judge it in any way -- it was definitely a little nuts. It was definitely a break with reality, but I think that's who Fantine is anyway.
Maaaan. I really LOVE Anne Hathaway, and I want to be cool with whatever it is she felt was necessary for the part, but it's more than "a little nuts." Of course she's not saying that anyone else should do what she did, but doing it at all and then discussing it so openly is sick, dangerous, and troubling. She and the Les Mis producers and even Vogue should be ashamed to be making it like this "starvation diet" is not only par for the course, but hey, it's gonna win 'er an Oscar! With an attitude like that, no wonder the number of Americans suffering from eating disorders just keeps skyrocketing.
All I'm saying is there had to be a better way. Hollywood needs to figure out a way to save stars like Anne from having to unhealthfully lose (or gain) weight for a role. It's not like we don't live in a time when we don't have all the most high-tech makeup and digital effects at our fingertips. Don't tell me they couldn't have hollowed out Anne's cheekbones or put dark circles under her eyes with the right shadowing makeup or CGI in post-production! And if she couldn't have given an Oscar-winning performance without putting her health at risk, maybe then it's not a performance the Academy should feel comfortable honoring.
What do you think about Anne discussing her starvation diet?
Image via Vogue
Why couldn't they just o some computer editing like theydid for Kristen Stewart in the first breaking dawn? Im sure it was tons cheaper fo her to drop down to a dangerous weight than using editing, but damn.
Since Anne has been goiing with the boy toy who is Jimmy Jones like in convincing her to do things like defacing herself with a tatotoo so very unjewish. then there is the diet where he might have drugged her with dust, or so she said; when how she lost weight for batman was told "Kale and Dust"
Then look how she slouches to make him look taller when he is actually an inch shorter... Oh Annie poor little rich girl
Why shouldn't she talk about it? It's something significant that happened in her life, and I think it's great that she's being open about it. She's not advising it; she said it's nuts.
So when Matthew McConaughey does it it's cool,cause he's an artist y'allz, but when Anne Hathaway does it it's the end of the world and we're all going to get eating disorders because of her? Double standard much? I don't know what article YOU we're reading, but I certainly didn't see anywhere that she was glamorizing her weight loss. Also like half of the first paragraph is a word for word copy of the Vogue article!
Right here on the The Stir, Matthew McConaughey has been GLORIFIED for doing essentially the same thing. The double standard applies to all things here, I guess. :-/
Seems like the people writing the paychecks & insuring these mega million dollar assets would have something to say concerning such an electrolite imbalance that they could have a heart attack or kidney failure, which Anne, Matthew & their significant others are not prepared to monitor, see coming or rescue them from. I call this group the height of irresponsibility and extremely poor role modeling. Didn't we learn anything from Micheal Jackson? MAYBE THEY SHOULD FIND A METHOD THAT TEACHES THEM TO DIG A LOT DEEPER WITHIN THEMSELVES, BUT THAT WOULD MEAN HAVING TO ACTUALLY ACT INSTEAD OF RELYING ON EXTREME VISUALS. I'll always take the old movies over the shallow approach. This can't be the same method that produced such great actors. It may be called 'the method', but merely be a branding of the original.
