Can I bring a pram or stroller into the venue?
Due to access and emergency management requirements, the WSEC has a policy that no items such as prams, strollers or push chairs can be left in the access ways of the WEC or the Stadium, during an event.
By leaving strollers or push chairs in access ways (especially the WEC cross-over aisle), they could create a possible obstruction to other patrons and in particular, could impede evacuation procedures of the venues (if necessary).
Where the event is considered to have the potential for a large number of prams, push chairs or strollers, the WEC will establish 'Pram Bays' (usually in the North and/or South Foyers of the WEC) where these items can be left.
In these cases, patrons should be aware that the WSEC cannot take responsibility for these items. The WSEC's preference is actually that these items not be brought into the venue.
In cases where a 'Pram Bay' has not been established, patrons should enquire from Venue Staff (including Ushers or Security Personnel) where the prams, push chairs or strollers could be left in the foyers where all care but no responsibility will be taken.
The WSEC's major concern and legal obligation is the safety of patrons and guests to the venues and we thank patrons for their understanding in this regard.
Can we use Cameras at an event at the WIN Entertainment Centre?
For most events, cameras are not allowed, particularly cameras with what are termed as 'long lenses' or 'professional lenses'. Sometimes an announcement will be made before the show advising that no photography is allowed. Please respect the wishes of the performers, it may not only be the performers affected by the flash, but patrons too. The venue will have signage at the door advising if cameras are allowed. If venue staff ask you not to take a photo, please adhere to the request.
What can I buy at the venues?
At most events a variety of hot and cold food and beverage will be available for purchase by the public.
On most events the catering outlets open to the public when the foyer doors or gates are open. For WIN Entertainment Centre events, external doors will in most cases open an hour before the scheduled start of the event.
At WIN Stadium, the public catering outlets are open when gates are open to the general public.
The venues practice the Responsible Service of Alcohol.
Merchandise for events at the WIN Entertainment Centre is generally available opposite Door 1 and/ or Door 5.
Merchandise for events at WIN Stadium is generally available inside Gates A, C and D (depending on the event, and Gates that are in use).
What should I do if I have a problem on the night?

They will either try to solve the problem or if necessary, notify venue management.
Please note that WIN Entertainment Centre concourse seating is steep and is not advised for the elderly, infirm, disabled, people with a physical difficulty or those with an aversion to heights. If any of these apply, please do not purchase seats in the concourse level of the venue, as relocation on the night may not be possible.
What do I do if I have lost something?

My friend Suresh wrote something about canteens in COEP, on our WA group; that took me back to my childhood and college days. My first visit to an eatery that I remember was when I was a child; I had gone with my mother and other family members to a place on Tilak Road, in Pune, called Jeevan! I was on the 7th cloud and I ate a Ghavan! Now I am not really sure if it was a dosa or the ghavan, both very thin roti type of bread, made of completely different batters. Later, I asked my mother a few times if we could go to Jeevan again. But she did not even bother to reply. Eating out in those days was something very rarely done. Then, of course, there was Diwadkar's batata Wada (Patty) eaten during travel between Bombay and Pune. I used to eagerly wait for Karjat station to arrive. I think they used to give garlic chutney also along with hot wadas! This was the beginning of my journey about eateries, in 50's.
My schooling was done in Bombay and I used to live in Dhobi Talao behind Metro Cinema. I used to go to school by us. Monsoon was the season I would eagerly await. I would cook a story that due to heavy rains buses were delayed and I had to walk home, a distance of about 25 minutes! Those four annas were used to eat Masala Dosa at a place called Kelkar or Batata Bhaji, yes only bhaji, no puris! This bhaji was the speciality of a place called Kulkarni's, bang opposite our school at Prarthana Samaj in Girgaum. Both these places have gone away with time.
One iconic place near our home in Dhobi Talao was Kyani's. (The photo above) Bun Maska, chai, pastries and Omelette was their speciality. But how much money could one pinch from home? Once I managed to pinch money for an Omelette and a few times for bun Maska/chai, a couple of times for pastries. Ten years back I went there and had a full feed of everything, finally. Kyani is still around. My Mumbai story will not be completed without writing about Milk Bar behind Elphinstone College; custards, puddings and jellies and what have you! The last one in my list was Napoli Bistro opposite Brabourne Stadium. We used to go there during my Telang Memorial hostel stay on C road at Churchgate. We used to get expresso for a princely sum of Rs.1/, which we used to have once in a while. There was a jukebox in the restaurant which made us hang around for some time. One naughty guy called Nitin Khot took a bet with someone and somehow managed to pinch a chair from the restaurant. It was returned the next day!
That brings me back to Pune of my engineering college days. Good Luck is like Kyani's of Mumbai and served the similar foodstuff. There used to be a little more money in pockets during this phase which allowed us to eat chicken masala and roti! Wow! Mouth still waters! Bowing to the father time, now they serve Idli Sambhar also. Another joint for us night owls, was Olympia opposite Pune Corporation. We used to be awake with our other studious guys but most of the time was spent on serious discussions of the world at large, with special reference to girls! When we had some time free from these discussions, we would be busy in Rummy or Teen Patti (Flush). These serious activities would make us hungry past midnight and the only option was Olympia, famous for its Baida Masala! Boiled eggs cooked in a lovely curry! A couple months back I ate this dish at Fountain hotel near Vasai but I could not remember where I had eaten this beauty before! Of course, it was Olympia!
Modern Café was our main Adda! Modern Café kept our gastric juices in control by providing us with piping hot Shira (something similar to porridge) and coffee at 5.30 am after all-night sessions of Teen Patti! In the afternoon the cafe would provide us with Idli, Dosa etc. At night around 10 pm we would go there for a cup of tea, theoretically to keep us awake for studies; oh yea! I also managed a Master's Degree in Engineering too! Our main sessions in Modern Café were during our annual day functions. Preparations were done for a couple of months! I used to take part in these activities to hang around as Jaya used to play major roles in dramas. I was kept busy doing the backstage activity. Modern café had created a new facility at their backside called Bamboo House! This was a real cosy place where they had a charming manager called Shekhar. He was very talkative, we used to regularly have parties where someone from the group of 15 /20 of us would pay. Shekhar used to keep track of who had not paid for a long time and remind us that person's name. The advantage of these parties was we could skip food in our common hostel mess! The money saved was money gained, which was fruitfully used on going to movies.
Out COEP hostel mess was very famous for the quality of food. Students and their relatives, friends from different colleges would come here for the Sunday feast. There were messes based on veg/non-veg food. Two of them, A & F were famous for non-vegetarian stuff. C was Maharashtrian, D was Gujarati type, E was Maharashtrian Kolhapur style hot food. Then later was born O club which had a mix of everything. A & F usually had the cosmopolitan crowd and the so-called Bombay crowd. I was in A club for two years. We had a guy called Aziz who used treat us to some lovely Biryanis and chicken Masala. Coke with Ice cream was the famous dessert of those times. I was friendly with all cooks and head waiters from all clubs. So, we could always "borrow" something from other clubs. My 3rd and 4th year were in C club. I was not admitted to this club in the first year because I was wearing a bold striped shirt for the interview. Medhekar and I used to be the first guys every day for breakfast for our morning quota of eggs. Another interesting thing used to be carrom games in the mess hall. There were some guys who used to be experts. But Bhave and I used to be Killers and we would beat the so-called champs. Just at the entrance of the hostel was a canteen run by Seva Sadan! It was really inexpensive and would sell home-made laddoos and Shankar pale! Next to that was table tennis room where would spend a lot of time. Even after marriage, we had opted for packed hostel food during exam time! We got married while we were doing our Masters!
Our major past time used to be watching movies! This would take us to different parts of Pune. Bedekar Misal, Sweet Home Khichadi and burun and tea at George's in the camp were some of the famous places we would visit in those days before or after a movie! Pastries at NCR, opposite Jangali Maharaj Temple, were a treat. Near mandai we used to go Asara for very hot chicken! For us COEP gang Vaishali was just coming up on the horizon and was the place to see the Fergusson College girls!
I could go on and on! But I must mention two places in camp! First one was Dorabajis where one of our gang, Nayan, Sharad, Ashok and others used to go for breakfast to celebrate birthdays! It was a real ritual. We used to sit in the area on the mezzanine floor. Then there was Latif's. This has a special significance. Jaya and I used to go there as we were almost sure that no known persons will find us there. For Jaya from Sadashiv Peth to Latif's was a big cultural jump! Until I told my friends, during my first year of post-graduation, about our marriage, nobody had any inkling of our courtship. Latif's was a great place "away from everything" in those days!
Let me find out if Latif's still exists; its high time Jaya and I went there!

Altec Lansing AHP712i
Altec Lansing AHP712i
- Good overall sound quality.
- Very good noise cancellation.
- Very comfortable, even for longer periods of time.
- Bulky.
- Inadequate carrying bag.
Bottom LineThe reasonably priced AHP712i headphones from Altec Lansing offer good noise cancellation for travelers.
If you travel a lot on noisy planes and trains, the new Altec Lansing AHP712i noise-canceling headphones should be on your short list of must-have items. They're large, but comfortable for extended periods because they cover your entire ears rather than pinning them against your head. The AHP712i provide very good noise cancellation with only a tiny bit of background hiss, and the sound quality is certainly musical, if not audiophile-accurate.
The AHP712i are fairly large cans and they have a comfortably padded headband covered in soft black "leatherette." The silver ear cups swivel out 90 degrees, but you can't flip them all the way around like DJ headphones. A single cord comes out of the bottom of the left cup and goes directly into the silver battery module, which runs on a single triple-A battery. There's a belt clip on the back of the power supply, a power switch on the front, and a volume wheel on the side; all controls are easy to access and operate. There are no LEDs on the headphones themselves, just on the power supply, so you won't get as many funny looks from those around you.
We found the AHP712i to be very comfortable on our ears. The headband has the right amount of tension, and the cups' padding and depth and the soft headband actually made us (mostly) forget we were wearing headphones, even after extended listening periods. They're also pretty light for their size. We were able to get a good seal around our ears, which (in addition to the active cancellation) helped reduce noise a bit. We tried our headphones on while wearing sunglasses and didn't find any difference in comfort. If you have large ears, however, you may not find these quite as comfortable.
The headphones' noise-cancellation circuitry doesn't introduce a whole lot of noise into the mix. There is a slight background hiss that's audible during silence or very quiet music, but it's certainly not enough to be distracting. The amount of cancellation met our expectations—we got about 17 dB of quieting, though these headphones are not quite on the level of the far pricier
The sound quality with the noise cancellation turned off isn't very good. The music we listened to sounded very distant and unbalanced. The midrange sounded suppressed and far away, while the bass and highs were very prominent. But once we turned on the active noise canceling, the midrange popped back to where it should be. The overall quality is very good, with a full, clear, pleasing sound. Bass is just punchy enough, highs have good presence without being harsh, and there's some detail in the midrange. Our formal testing showed that the frequency response in the bass range is particularly good, in part because the earcups provide a good seal against your head. Though the midrange is mostly flat, there are some peaks and dips in the upper mids and highs that color the sound significantly, making horns and vocals prominent but with soft edges. The overall effect is pleasing, though like the QuietComfort 2 these are not accurate enough for serious audiophiles.
Overall, we like the AHP712i headphones as much for their comfort as for their sound quality and noise-canceling capability. We are a bit disappointed in the carrying bag, which provides very little protection, and the bulky, non-folding design (despite the advertised "foldable design," these actually don't fold up at all). If money is no object, you may want to check out the QuietComfort 2, which provides even better noise cancellation, but the AHP712i do provide a solid (and cheaper) alternative.

Asad I. and Robert F.
The fall of the Berlin Wall was a key movement in the history of Europe, as it was the symbol of the end of the Cold War. The European Union and NATO were able to expand in pace when Europe was no longer divided into East and West.
The power in the world changed when the Cold War ended. A truce between the nuclear threats of two superpowers, the USA and the Soviet Union was created as soon as the BerlinWall fell, also preventing both superpowers from dominating the world.
Europe was no longer divided into two groups with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the reunification of Germany. The possibility that Europe could become independent of any superpower is a legacy of the fall of the Berlin Wall. There is now a possibility that there may be more development in peace in Europe.
After the Berlin Wall fell, East Germany and West Germany were reunified in 1990 into one country – the Federal Republic of Germany. The influence of a reunited Germany within the European Union still concerns some people today, who think that Germany may be too powerful a member. Others think though that the best way towards peace is a united Europe. There's a greater chance that conflicts will be settled more peacefully by the government in a united Europe, rather than through fighting on battlefields or building walls on a divided Europe. The opening of the Berlin Wall can therefore be seen as a significant step towards a united and peaceful Europe.
The fall of the Berlin Wall was a significant event in the lives of the people in Berlin. Those who had been separated from their family members when the Wall was built in 1961 were re-united. People living in East Berlin were no longer under the communist system, and could have the same lives as those in the West. The process of adapting to the new system was not always easy though, as the East German area adapted to the new system, and at first many people lost their jobs. Even though life was freer without the communist regime, some people became nostalgic for their old way of life in East Berlin. Overall, though, most people were pleased to no longer have to live under a system in which they were not free.

GAZA CITY—On the roof of a six-storey apartment block, 51-year-old Abu Ahmed plucks heads of lettuce and vines of tomatoes from his garden.
With no land to farm, and only sporadic employment, Abu Ahmed had been struggling to feed his family. But now, he uses his roof to grow tomatoes, parsley, red cabbage and onions — providing food while creating a lush green space overlooking the otherwise drab cityscape.
"My father and my grandfather were farmers — we were always farmers. But we have no land now," said Abu Ahmed, whose family are refugees from a village that is now inside Israel. "Now, I love to work on this farm. The vegetables are much better than the ones in the market, and they are just upstairs from my home — I can pick them anytime."
Urban aquaponic farms like Abu Ahmed's — where herbs and vegetables are grown without soil, in tubs filled with rocks and water from connected fish tanks — have the potential to curb food insecurity in the cramped Gaza Strip.
The United Nations says almost half Gaza's 1.7 million people lack secure access to food.
"One of the major reasons this is an applicable method in Gaza is the effectiveness with water use," said Chris Somerville, an agronomist and urban agriculture consultant with the UN Food and Agriculture Organization in Gaza. "When you are talking about aquaponic or hydroponic or any form of soilless agriculture, you're using less than 20 per cent of the amount of water."
Given that the region's key issues are water and access to good quality soil, these agricultural methods are all the more appealing.
Somerville and his team have set up 15 aquaponic farms like Abu Ahmed's in Gaza City and are hoping to expand the project.
Gaza was once famous for its fresh fish and export specialty items, such as flowers and strawberries, which brought cash to the territory. But Israeli restrictions on the Hamas-run territory, which began in 2007, blocked the majority of these high-earning exports from leaving, forcing many Gazans to turn to handouts.
Israel says the buffer zone it maintains inside Gaza is necessary to prevent Gaza-based militants from infiltrating Israel and carrying out attacks against civilians. But this buffer zone swallows the fertile land near the border that would otherwise serve as the territory's breadbasket.
"In Gaza, there is effectively no hinterland to produce (food)," Somerville said. "With urban sprawl being such a prevalent force in Gaza, it's becoming increasingly difficult to produce food for the population here."
Theirs is just one of several initiatives by local and international organizations to shift from food aid to more sustainable solutions.
The Cooperative Housing Foundation, a U.S. organization, has given 2,000 families kits to produce their own food.
The kits include seeds, water tanks and irrigation systems, tools and organic compost, allowing recipients to grow their own vegetables and herbs without chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Other families received chickens or rabbits, and all get training on how to maintain their new urban farms.
"It's definitely more sustainable than food vouchers," said Mohamed Sharef, who works for the organization.
"We want to reach a point where we can depend on ourselves," said Ihab Al Ghusain, a spokesman for the Hamas government.

Japan Predictions…
Some have asked me why I didn't predict the Japan earthquake and tsunami…check again!
I'd like to remind you that with all predictions there is always a degree of uncertainty which gives those who wish to disbelieve cause to do so, but the predictions will be close enough for those who wish to believe the ability to do so. I have been receiving and tracking my predictions for some time now and some of the predictions have been off by a month or two or slightly off geographically, while some have been right on target. Dec. 22, 2010 was the first prophecy in my book 2012: Prophecies, Prayers and Preparation and we were asked to pray globally on the morning of Dec. 21. That morning there was an earthquake of 7.4 magnitude prompted by a Tsunami scare off the coast of Japan luckily, there was very little damage. As we know now, there is catastrophic damage from the March 11, 2011 quake and tsunami that has led to unfathomed devastation in Japan just as the prediction suggests. The wording of this prediction and the prayer refer to, "these people love and honor their land" and also refer to the, "horrific destruction of land and sea..and direct our energies to the weakness in the water…" You can view the prediction and the prayer at http://2012motherearth.com/prayer.htm. or on p. 102/103 in the book.
What's in your prayers?
I hope you have been putting the land and the people of Japan in your prayers every day. Catastrophic events such as this bring our world together, even if it's for a short time, as one complete being. Right now we are in perfect harmony with our thoughts and prayers focused on Japan and that creates a state of passion and compassion. Be aware that just mentioning the word Japan, even if it's just in your mind, opens your heart – did you feel the sinking in your heart or the loving energy just by the intention of the word Japan? On the other hand, did you feel anything in your brain? Absolutely not! This is why we must think more with our hearts and less with our brains; our brains are connected to the ego and our hearts are connected to all living things. The light and the flame that is in our hearts is what drives us, inspires us and allows us to trust in the Divine essence of God and all that encompasses it. The energy that comes from the heart is much more powerful than the brain. The earth is changing ever so quickly and many more events in the near future will be catastrophic.
It is imperative that we must keep saying the global prayers associated with the predictions that are in the book, 2012: Prophecies, Prayers and Preparation….Mother Earth's Plan for Humanity. We must raise awareness and raise the frequencies of the planet before the events happen so they can help to calm the actual event, therefore, this will lead to saving lives. This is why the Divine Realm emphasizes over and over again that these predictions are not given to us to save lives it is more important to be global and raise the frequency of the entire planet.
News and Thank You's…
I'm excited to announce that I was invited to NYC this weekend, March 18 – 20 to be a presenter on the 2012 panel at the New Life Expo – woohoo!! http://www.newlifeexpo.com/ I am looking forward to making connections that will help me to spread the word. Speaking of which, I've officially gone global with my first book order from outside of America – she was in Australia! A heartfelt thank you goes out to those who have shared the book with others and have helped spread the divine messages and tools that are guiding our most blessed planet. The press releases for the book have officially gone out and, with the devastation in Japan, I am hopeful someone from the media will be led to the importance of the book. We need to spread the word about raising our consciousness so we can change from a world of chaos to that of peace.

Hello, wearable art lovers! WOW, am I excited!!! VIDA and I have completed my curated VIDA collection! What this means is that since I have moved up from Slate status to Steel, I had the awesome privilege and pleasure of selecting one item from my collection to collaborate with them on to showcase a beautiful, lifestyle photography model wearing it.
The curated item that I selected is my "Everlasting Love" Sheer Wrap. The model attired in it (picture above in this post) is featured on:
- my personal online curated collection page, and
- VIDA's main SHOP section page (just scroll down until you see this model wearing the wrap–underneath her picture, it will say EVERLASTING LOVE Sheer Wrap)
My inspiration for this piece was a big, beautiful, crystal clear, floating candle holder centerpiece at my brother and his wife's wedding reception last year. You can view the full picture I took of it by clicking on the arrows (< or >) beside the wrap.
Thank you again so much to all of you who helped to make this accomplishment possible with your purchases from my collection!!! The third and final status is Gold, and I am already more than halfway there!!! 🙂

I rise with the dawn, my training keeping me focused although I am tired. I move more like a golem than a human, numb with…everything. There has been so much to accept…all of it so fast. But I must know. It gnaws at me like a ghoul on a bone, no matter how I try to ignore it. I can find out. It would be so easy. The morning passes without a soul on this road, but this does not surprise me. Am I not on a forsaken trail? Naturally, the one time I could use a good fight there is not a random encounter to be found. It is forcing myself to break for lunch that I make my choice.
I must eat and stay warm to survive, and the hot food revives some part of me. I finish my provision and draw slowly on the earring from Karla. If she could help me, I would not have to resort to this…but she is just an adventurer. Even if she knew the right divinations, the chances were small she could aid me. I sigh before sucking in air, before I shout the one word I need, "QARR!!!"
With a flash of acrid smoke the bothersome imp appears and asks in that grating voice, "Heya, toots, knew you'd come back sometime. Ready to sign on the dotted line and get your inner blackguard on?"
My answer to this, at least, is firm: "No."
Qarr flits through the air and with a puff of fell smoke a pen appears in his hand, "Of course, of cou…wait, waddaya mean 'no'? You called me, toots, I don't get infinite credit on the Interplanar Express here. Give me one good reason not to Plane Shift my ass out of this Gods forsaken place."
I ignore the imp's blathering and answer him, "I need to know more, first."
Qarr grins evilly and snickers, "Ah, a reluctant holdout I see. Well, if you need a good chat to get past that useless morality, I know exactly who you need to see. Miko, meet my Boss…es."
The world grows dark, and I am both comforted and unnerved as the sun seems to go behind a shimmering curtain of black. There is no puff of smoke, no settling effect…in a moment as sudden as two unique scenes pasted together there just is a swirling darkness as three cloaked figures rise before me. They are different that I can see only from their eyes, glowing three uniquely fiendish colors.
Yellow: "Greetings, Miko."
Orange: "The pleasure is ours."
Purple: "Heard you could use some clarification, and we've recently had a high level encounter of the 'uncomfortable truth' variety."
These three…can help me understand. I do what I must, "I would hear your offer, foul ones."
Orange: "Only 'foul'? Such a flatterer."
Purple: "We offer you power, Miko, to do with as you see fit. As a limited time offer, we are providing an additional incentive…"
Yellow: "…the truth of alignment, your heart, and your path."
I bellow in frustration at these Outsiders, wishing so very much that I could smite insolence, "Enough games! Tell me!"
Purple: "Some things are absolute, but alignment is…bendy. How else could we gain followers without breaking their minds? You are a creature of Law, and it has always been your comfort…"
Orange: "…but not your salvation. Good and Evil are fickle enough, both trying to gain souls at every turn. I think it's clear which team we'd rather you be playing for."
Yellow: "We offer complete health and dental, the power to lay down the Law as you choose, and a consort to meet the needs those 'good guys' never met."
Purple: "Affection and attention. An amazing hottie."
Orange: "Devotion and loyalty. A real team player."
Yellow: "Security and validation. A true soul mate."
Purple: "As an additional bonus, we'd be happy to Dominate one person or soul of your choosing. Even bring them to you from anywhere in the multiverse."
Orange: "You could go back to your Twelve, of course. Become a shining beacon of 'good'. Never be sure of your own emotions or if you are 'good' enough."
Yellow: "Deal with those weak nobles and paladins, constantly struggling to do the right thing when nothing seems to be going right."
Purple: "Risk heartbreak from a fickle mortal who doesn't truly know themself. Relationships and goodness that won't guide you, but force you to make choices."
I hear their words, like silk along my skin and a cool breeze on a hot day, the small comforts that I used to think had no meaning. Their offer…I could make the nobles obey the law. Make the law that protects and serves able to withstand their selfish influences. I could make Hinjo see the truth, stop Xykon, and have Matsumo agaib. Or anyone. AND anyone…of my choosing! The faint taste of that power, of promises that would be upheld, rules that could not be broken…
I felt their next words caress me like a lover before setting me aside:
Purple: "We understand it's a big choice. One that may take some consideration…or sleeping alone on. A shame for one as beautiful as you, but necessary."
Orange: "Indeed. We're willing to extend the offer up to and until you call us again, with expiration of our quality guarantee if the choice is not made in a full thirty days. You couldn't ask for a better kegger invitation."
Yellow: "Just remember who has let you down, Miko. Who has let you down, and who is here for you now. Willing to be there for you even after death itself…"
As suddenly as they appeared, all four fiends are gone and I am alone on a bleakly sunny day with a cold breeze torturing my skin. I have a choice to make, of whose arms to accept. Whose words to trust. Whose comfort to take. And who I truly am…

Tricks of the Note Taking Trade
Posted April 12, 2017on:
A few weeks ago at an Institute of Customer Service Assessor's Forum I was getting a refresher on note taking which is an essential part of the Professional Qualifications assessment process. If you are new to taking notes then The Palgrave Study Skills Making Notes page outlines the different styles you can try.
It's worth learning about the Cornell method where you split the paper into areas so you have an area for making notes on, another for summarising the key points/words/questions and another for condensing the main ideas. Wiki How to Take Cornell Notes will help you try this out. It was created at Cornell University.
Another note taking method is the Charting one where you have headed columns so you can log subjects that similar into the same column. This handy document from California Polytechnic State University explains how it works.
The Palgrave Study Skills Making Notes complements the Charting one outlining how to use pattern notes to create two columns, two different colours of notes or notes on two different set of pages to then make connections between the notes. One set of notes is a summary of what you hear and the other is a related analysis of what you think of it. This is a useful for making sure you don't use someone else's words or ideas. In other words it helps you avoid plagiarism when you use the notes for an essay.
Pattern notes is another style Palgrave recommend where you have a key idea in the centre then branch out to create notes that relate to the main theme and look at it more in-depth. They suggest you can use particular shapes to make the other ideas stand out and then find an overall image to help you recall what the notes and ideas are. This will be very useful for exams and where you need to turn your notes into an essay. This style of note taking is also known as mind maps, spidergrams or concept maps.
It's worth getting a copy of Jeanne Godfrey's Reading and Making Notes which is part of the Pocket Study Skills guide which explains how to make notes in an easy-digestible format.
If you want to get digital savvy then Popplet is a handy app you can use for creating notes in a graphic way. Download it here for Android or iOS devices.
Mini library, mini librarians?
Posted December 13, 2016on:
In our last week in the mini library (Phoebe Walters Room) I thought it was a good chance to reflect on the culture and ethos behind the LRC at Hillcroft.
Librarians have high ideals which explains why there are so many rules and strategies:
- always use the self-checkout machine,
- return books on time even if there isn't a fine,
- don't make notes in the margin of books,
- search by surname of author,
- don't rely on Google.
Nancy Graham (a librarian from the London School of Economics) brought up the important point back in a summer workshop. It might appear that we are trying to turn students into mini-librarians. Using the LRC shouldn't be a chore or restrictive. You don't need to wear a librarian's hat all the time (except if you've a wish to become a librarian). We're here to provide and help you find good information. Say you want to find a productivity tip or a more informed research method. Bingo! LRC to the rescue!
There are times and places to think more librarian-y. Evaluative, investigative, organised, caring, responsible, imaginative. But don't take our word for it. What words would you use to describe thinking more critically? Does the LRC help you get in the right mindset and find information?
We've been adding new material to our careers collection over the past few weeks. We particularly think you'll like this series of In a Week books by John Murray Learning.
They cover everything from writing a Curriculum Vitae (CV) and covering letter to attending an interview and doing (or even running) psychometric tests. The books break down the tasks you would need to follow to achieve your goal on a daily basis. Here are the ones we've just added to our shelves:
Planning Your Career in a Week by Wendy Hirsh
CVs in a Week: How to Write a CV or Resume in Seven Simple Steps by David McWhir
Career Change in a Week by Patricia Scudamore and Hilton Catt
Cover Letters in a Week by David McWhir
Psychometric Testing in a Week by Garteth Lewis and Gene Crozier
They also produce a very good study skills one on speed reading called Speed Reading in a Week: How to Speed Read in Seven Simple Steps by Tina Konstant. If you would like to find out more about books published under the John Murray Learning umbrella take a look at their catalogue.
Seize the diary
Posted September 6, 2016on:
The new academic year is fast approaching. One of the key items of stationary for students and teachers alike is the diary. Why is it that writing things down helps so much? For organisational purposes for sure, but also it is very satisfying. Diaries are personal tools to regularly reflect which can boost motivation.
Keeping a diary may include ticking items off the list, fitting fun things into a routine and seeing the big picture of the week or year. Keeping a diary is an effective old-fashioned way to develop good study skills. However, if writing a diary sounds like work perhaps as Tefula (2014) consider how to make it more interesting: whether with mindmaps, stickers, technology (audio notes and reminders), or tie it in with another goal or guilty pleasure.
For more handy tips on cultivating motivation, reflection and getting work done you can borrow our new books:
Student procrastination by Michael Tefula.
Studying as a parent by Helen Owton.
Study Time
Posted April 8, 2016on:
Our colleague Andrew Checkley E-Learning Manger at Croydon College has been developing a Moodle Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) course with his Learning Resources (LRC) team which he talked about at the March 16 London FE Moodle Roundtable event. The course is on academic writing. Find out more about it on their E-Learning blog post.
As well as using material from the LRC on the course Andrew found some useful research material on the State Library of Victoria's website. The resource covers:
- working out what question you are trying to answer
- finding the information
- choosing the resources you use
- making and organising notes
- presenting your material
- reflecting on your work.
There's also some handy material on writing essays too which covers:
- identifying the essay question
- using quotations
- writing
- editing.
Plus there are tips on study skills:
- stress management
- dealing with exams.
Last but not least at this time of the year many of our students are doing GCSE examinations in English and maths so this BBC Bitesize app available on Android and iOS will help you. The app has flashcards which will help you revise and covers numerous GCSE subjects.
Critical Skills for Critical Brains
Posted March 4, 2016on:
Stella Cottrell's book Critical Thinking Skills: Developing Effective Analysis and Arguments is a guide that can take you from college to university. It helps you look at what you read in a different light by demonstrating and explaining how academic authors build up their arguments in their writing.
How does that help you? It will help you understand arguments and guides you into weighing up the logic of them. This will not only assist you in evaluating different authors' opinions and theories but will also benefit you in developing your own writing style to convince your tutors of how you have assessed others' work and built up your own arguments with persuasive evidence.
The book gets you to identify bias, hidden meanings and follow a line of reasoning to its logical conclusion. It's not only useful for essay writing, reading and making notes from academic literature but is also invaluable for debating and any piece of writing or presentation where you would need to persuade your audience of your arguments.
Cottrell's book gives you exercises to do to build up your skills of critique, analysis and argument. It's one you can dip into time and time again. Having read it myself it's easy to recognise that had a book like this existed when I was university it would have been a key to getting a top grade!
Palgrave who publish the book also have a free companion website area Critical Thinking which sits under their useful Study Skills website.
If you're just starting your studies then the Pocket Guide by Kate Williams called Getting Critical is a good starter guide and similarly advises on reading with a critical eye and developing your writing skills so you are analytical too. We also have another Critical Thinking guide by Debra Hills. Hills's guide gives you a definition and takes you through the steps in the process of reading and writing critically and has a number of tips on using sources, note taking and planning your answers.
Dummies by No Means…
Posted January 15, 2016on:
This week we've added two ebooks in the Dummies series to our collection. They are:
Sociology for Dummies by Nasar Meer and Jay Gabler
Psychology for Dummies by Adam Cash
Our students requested these two. The Dummies series are a fantastic way of getting to understand a subject which is completely new to you. The books are great as they all come with lots of call-out boxes and diagrams to break up the text and give you tips and reminders.
We've got a number of ebooks and books from the series. Other handy ones in the study skills area are:
Time Management for Dummies by Clare Evans
Writing Essays for Dummies by Mary Page and Carrie Winstanley
Speed Reading for Dummies by Richard Sutz and Peter Weverka
Data Crunching
Posted October 22, 2015on:
This week we've been digesting all of our data for our Self-Assessment Report (SAR). You may be scratching your head wondering what it is! Basically it's a review of the impact of what we do on our students. We produce one every six months and this one is looking back at 2014/15. Part of the process is to identify our strengths and weaknesses as well so we can flag up improvements for the next academic year which go into our Quality Improvement Plan (QIP) for 2015/16.
Here are our some of our highlights from 2014/15:
Increased audovisual material for learners to borrow by 7%.
Introduced iPads into the classroom for learners to boost their digital skills – included reading apps.
Increased use of eresources by 47.2% – getting more learners used to ereading material and building digital skills.
Improved Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) material – embedded videos to reinforce induction content, new Reading for Pleasure section to encourage reader development and apps to help to hone information/digital literacy skills.
Greater promotion of reading – National Libraries Day, more Six Book Challenge completers, World Book Night and Reading for Pleasure Moodle VLE block.
Extra refresher/consolidation sessions on information literacy skills eg referencing.
Rolled out dyslexic friendly labeling for books to help navigate our material – based on the International Libraries Association Federation (IFLA) Guidelines for Library Services to Persons with Dyslexia.

With a thrilling 2012 now consigned to the history books, we can look ahead to what should be a fascinating year on the international stage in 2013. England Rugby 2015 Ambassador Will Greenwood recently donned his thinking cap to bring you his predictions for the months ahead, with some big calls to be made both north and south of the equator.
Ireland can win the RBS Six Nations
With a quick glance at the fixture list for February's Six Nations, Ireland would be my favourites. If they win their home games – against England and France – they'll be in a very strong position.
With the form guide as it is, it's possible that three teams might end up winning four games. France have the trickiest run, although they were very strong in November. They must travel to Twickenham and Dublin, which just makes life that little bit harder for them. Ireland and England both have strong cases, and France must prove themselves on the road.
The British & Irish Lions can roar
I fancy the Lions to do something special in Australia. I didn't think they would win in South Africa four years ago, and I was very nearly proved wrong in the most exciting of circumstances. Lions coach Warren Gatland has already said it: If you want to tour one of the three southern hemisphere powers with the best chance of winning, at any given moment, it's going to be Australia.
The Rugby World Cup talk began with the Pool Allocation Draw, where the Wallabies were drawn with England and Wales, but the Lions tour is such an opportunity that all of that speculation goes out of the window.
The players and coaches commit totally to one cause and will see what's on the horizon after that. It's true that coaches and management think long-term but players, by and large, think only of the next game.
New Zealand must overcome big losses to improve further
New Zealand are an outstanding side, and not a very old side, but they will be missing some key figures at the start of the next campaign. They'll miss their captain, the outstanding Richie McCaw, for the opening matches of their international season as he continues his sabbatical. They're also a better side when Sonny Bill Williams isn't playing rugby league, but they'll have to wait a couple of years for him to come back.
I get the feeling that they'll always be strong, but might be stronger with the returns of Sonny Bill and Richie. The good news for them is that Dan Carter didn't play in the Rugby World Cup Final so the hunger will very much be there for him.
Argentina can upset one of the big guns
As the Pumas get more and more used to the pace of The Rugby Championship, and understand what's required, they will press on and take a notable southern hemisphere scalp. Argentina have become a very credible threat to anyone, particularly at the Rugby World Cup. The way they will be able to cope with the intensity and pace of the games is simply to practice, practice, practice at that speed. If they do that, further success will come.
Georgia will put their best foot forward
As the Six Nations swings into action in February, so does the top division of the European Nations Cup and with it qualifying for Rugby World Cup 2015. Expect Georgia, and their powerful forward pack, to be front and centre. I think they're really developing a strong team. I saw their giant flanker, Mamuka Gorgodze, in action for Montpellier in a recent Heineken Cup tie and if they can find 14 blokes who look like him, they'll do just fine!

I'd like to build a "bakfiets"; a cargo-trike with the box in front.
I've found several resources, but none of them talk about the framebuilding material.
What is are my material options; steel? what thickness is best to choose? do I choose a square or U-profile. One of the things I'm very concerned about is weight: the stronger the frame, the heavyer it will be. I can't work with aluminium.
Any advice on this?

MENU PLANNING 101 : How It Can Save You Time and Money
I guess it's safe to say that I learned from the BEST. My late mother Corito was a very good cook and nutritionist (yes! She literally had a degree in BS Nutrition). Growing up, we were so blessed to have had experienced and tasted her cooking. I always loved coming home because I always knew there would be great food on the table. It was also from her that I developed my love for cooking and working in the kitchen which eventually led me into shifting careers and studying at one of the most prestigious culinary institutions in NYC.
I don't have a cook and cook about 80% of our meals. The remaining 20% is the reheating of the cooked meals already which I leave to my all-around helper when I'm not around. So I am always thinking of ways to structure and organize our mini kitchen operations. I learned a lot from my mother and one of the best things I apply now is MENU PLANNING. It's a very effective tool and practice that can easily save MONEY since predetermined meals but down on IMPULSE spending on the supermarket. Planning meals ahead can save you a lot of TIME as well because you won't need to go to the store for missing ingredients or you can already prep in advanced since you know what you are cooking that day. I do mine every weekend either Saturday and Sunday before I go to the wet market and grocery so it can dictate my market/grocery list. This way your grocery can be budgeted and there is minimal wastage. Here are some of my tips on how to create a successful and efficient MENU PLAN at home.
The first step is to write/type it down. Some people may want to just write it on a piece of paper/whiteboard/chalkboard that you can hang somewhere in your kitchen. I personally type it up (I already have a format in MS Word that I just edit every time).
Grocery shopping should be considered a skill. You have to always be smart about it. If not you will end up with a lot of spoilage and wastage or worst stack your refrigerator and pantry with things that will just expire on you.
First In - First Out policy should always be used. This is a practice used in the professional kitchen but can also be applied at home. This simply means that the oldest inventory items should be used first. Always also check items in the ref/chiller/freezer that may be already passed their expiry date so you can create space for your new items.
4. MIX and MATCH
Variety is important when making meal combinations. You do not want your husband and kids to get sick of one viand/"ulam" unless it's really their absolute favorite. For instance, my whole family especially my 2 kids LOVE sinigang. And by this I mean they can literally eat it every other day that's why it is always in our weekly menu. What I do is change up the kind of sinigang. If on Monday, we make pork sinigang then on Thurs or Friday, I either make Sinigang na Hipon (Shrimp) or Sinigang na Bangus (milkfish). If your family is just like mine and appreciate home-cooked Filipino Food (Lutong Bahay), here are my favorite meal combinations. I'm not a huge breakfast person and usually just have a smoothie or fruit/granola to start the day but my kids can eat a full meal so I still prepare a full breakfast for them. Here are our top WEEKLY picks; You can some of the active links for recipes I posted in the past just in case you want my recipes. :)

The Hope football team made the dedication of Ray & Sue Smith Stadium a smashing success.
The Flying Dutchmen erupted for a 41-7 win against Millikin (Ill.) on Saturday, riding a 35-point first half to improve to 2-0 on the season in front of a home opener crowd of 4,110.
Hope dedicated its home field to former head coach and athletic director Ray Smith and his wife, Sue, during a pregame ceremony.
The Flying Dutchmen racked up 510 yards of total offense against Millikin (0-2) while also returning a Millikin onside kick for a touchdown in the second half.
Hope intercepted Millikin quarterback Nick Pippen twice and sacked him three times.
The Flying Dutchmen scored twice in a 20-second span early in the second quarter for a 35-7 lead. Junior Cody Lindemulder of Mulliken (Lakewood HS) scooped up an onside kick after a Millikin touchdown and raced 45 yards for a touchdown four minutes into the second quarter.
Lindemulder, a linebacker, then intercepted Millikin's first play from the scrimmage to set up a one-play scoring drive that resulted in a 32-yard touchdown catch for senior receiver Vincent Boddy of West Bloomfield (West Bloomfield HS) from senior quarterback Michael Atwell of Geneseo, Ill. (Geneseo HS).
Atwell and Boddy teamed up for a 19-yard touchdown pass 1:16 into the second quarter that pushed Hope's lead to 21-7. Boddy had three catches for 82 yards.
Atwell completed 21-of-33 passes for 333 yards and two touchdowns. He opened the scoring with a 2-yard plunge into the end zone.
Junior receiver Taylor Brynaert of Washington, Mich. (Romeo HS), led Hope with six catches for a game-high 99 yards. Sophomore receiver David Brown of Ithaca (Ithaca HS) finished with five catches for 88 yards.
Senior running back Shawn Jackson of Comstock Park (Comstock Park) HS rushed for 99 yards and one touchdown on 23 carries. He moved into fifth place all-time at Hope by reaching 2,372 career rushing yards.
Junior defensive back Kirby Crook of Beech Grove, Ind. (Beech Grove HS) topped Hope with 10 tackles, including eight unassisted.

The last part of this project meant digging up some grass, laying down some bricks along the edges, adding stepping stones, a few paving stones for steps, throwing down some cedar chips and adding a small statue for decoration.
All-in-all, this value-added project, while somewhat time consuming because of a lack of experience, turned out pretty nice – in my opinion.
Thank you for reading and following along.
The End

I was encouraged to hear of Petroglyphs in the area that it seemed I could get relatively close to. I had stopped at the Painted Rocks Petroglyphs north of I8 west of Gila Bend, AZ during my previous Travels and thought it would be fun to check these out.
The first challenge was getting there. I had descriptive directions and GPS coordinates. I found the GPS coordinates more helpful but the road getting there would only take me so far.
I'm starting to get the message that my Prius my be to low to the ground but so far so good
The Petroglyphs are on BLM land on LTVA (Long Term Visitor Area) where you pay $180 for 6 months or $40 for 14 days. There are some services here.
I stay in the non LTVA area with no services and limited to 14 days and no cost.
Day use is permitted if not camping on LTVA area.
Here is the turn on BLM road 619
I'm showing you the main road that is well maintained as dirt and the turnoff to the road to the petroglyphs.
They grade the main road making a brim at intersecting roads and since most have four wheelers that enter here there is no issue for them.
Luckily there has been enough traffic to round off the brim and I just get off the main road rubbing one spot midway underneath my low Prius.
This is one of the reasons I'm thinking of getting a lightweight camper for my Tacoma.
I ready to walk the rest of the way as the road is no longer passable for anything other than a four wheeler.
It's desert and flat with these bush trees.
I find them a short distance further downstream.
I had a number of emotions about seeing that the petroglyphs had mostly been destroyed by raiders of these 1000 year old symbols of the past.
Above you can see how the rocks have been removed for someone to take home and leave less enjoyment for the next person who comes along.
Native Amaricans drew on these rocks along the river leaving a bit of their history and life behind for us. People now take it away leaving their mark of destruction.
If you look close there are petroglyphs that are faint and with future years the stories they told will be lost
Being frustrated with my mixed feelings I decide to scale this steep hill in the the flat desert.
To my east is the LTVA camping
Below me a view of the rocks cut by running water and the messages of those who had lived here so long ago.
Now four wheel off road vehicles drive all over the area gaining enjoyment from their ride. I get my enjoyment from the walk.
Here is my saved hike on the AllTrails app. You can see my assend and defend of the hill on the graph above.

My First Time at CrossFit
I thought I would share a bit about my first-time experience at CrossFit, in case any of you were thinking about trying it out! I have quite a few friends who are super into it, and they've been encouraging me to try it forever. Like I mentioned in that first post about it, I had a feeling I would love it, but there was always something holding me back. I hate that though. I don't ever want to be the kind of person who has a goal in their mind, or an idea to try something, but doesn't do it. Like I also mentioned, this year I wanted to break out of my comfort zone. Fitness has always been a major part of my life, but I always kind of keep it in comfortable zone, never really pushing myself past what I'm used to. So the other day while I was on the elliptical and talking to Autumn about her morning at CrossFit, I decided to just call up one of the CFs in our town right then and there, and schedule my intro session. They told me that since the whole box (what a CF gym is called, as I later learned) was headed to the CrossFit Games that weekend, the first day I could come in would be Tuesday.
I spent the weekend a little nervous. It was weird, but in a way I kind of loved it because these days I rarely get that nervous/exciting feeling before I do something. It used to be pretty common in my life- I'd feel it every fall back at school or later teaching- but I'd forgotten what it felt like to be so amped up and at the same time, scared to death. The night before I set out all of my clothes, like it was the first day of school all over again. Although the CF I go to has childcare, I didn't want to bring Henry there until I checked it out, so Veronica and Max came over to hang out with H.
My intro began at 9 and I arrived around 8:45 or so. I pulled up to a huge warehouse (my friend Emily had already given me a heads up so I knew what to expect) and sat in my car for a minute, nervous, but ready. When I walked inside I was blown away. Captain CrossFit is HUGE. And beautiful. I went up to the front desk and let the sweet, friendly girl know why I was there. I signed a form, put my things in a cubby, and met my coach, Tim. My stomach was still flipping around but Tim immediately put me at ease. He was awesome and we started off my first day going through some basic exercises and telling me all about CrossFit. I learned that CF is all about doing what is best for you- to make you the best you can be. Everything can be scaled, so for example if you can't do a pull-up, then you use bands so you can keep your intensity up. It's all about executing your workout the right way, at a high intensity. Intro is a one-on-one thing here which was awesome, and made me feel a lot more comfortable asking questions and understanding everything. We ended that first day with a mini-WOD (Workout of the Day), which consisted of rowing 300 meters, then doing a 21/15/9 split of wall balls and pull-ups for time. It was definitely challenging but not a nightmare. My legs, arms and core were shaking like crazy at the end, but when I yelled "TIME!" it was amazing to know I had accomplished it. Tim was super encouraging and right before I started he said, "Take a second. Your life is about to change. Are you ready for this?" I loved that.
I arrived back for my first day of Foundations at 8am the next day, sore from the day before but excited and ready to go. The childcare there is awesome- it's right there, blocked out with a waist-high indoor fence so you can see the kiddos the whole time, and they can see you. They have a million awesome toys and forts in there, and even foam CrossFit exercise gear so the little ones can overhead squat right along with you! Ha! The childcare goes from infant to 12-years old and included in your membership. CC is a family-oriented place (which I love), so they also have classes for kids too, beginning in preschool.
So I arrived at 8am for Day 2 and was met by Tim again. It was just the two of us and he taught me a few moves- we worked on my squat, overhead squat, and two others whose names I can't remember. Afterward we did another mini-WOD and I left sore but happy. Because I was leaving to go out of town, I'll be finishing up my Foundations next Wednesday night and Thursday morning. From there I'll be able to take my first class and do my first real WOD. Scary, but exciting (which I think is the theme here).
Now keep in mind I am brand new and have no real advice to give whatsoever, but if you are thinking of trying it out, I say DO IT! Anything is scary when you first start. I felt terrified to do hot yoga, but now I couldn't be more comfortable whenever I take a class. And if you're feeling intimidated because maybe you feel you're not in the best shape yet, or just feel self conscious, at CC there were people of all ages and body types. I felt such a great, positive vibe, and I bet you will be able to find a place near you with a great ambiance too. I think the key is just trying it out and seeing for yourself!
It's only been two days (perhaps talk to me again once I complete my first real WOD...) but I'm so happy I decided to just take the leap and do it. Hank's going to take his Intro next week, and I'm excited to have something fun we can do together, and something that Henry can participate in once he's older. Most of all though, I'm just proud of myself for doing something I was scared of, and I'm looking forward to seeing where this journey takes me. I'll be sure to keep you all posted!

I'm so glad you had a good experience! I want to try crossfit, but I'm a little scared. Hopefully after the triathlon in October, I can go try crossfit!ReplyDelete
I too want to try CF! However I'm scared of getting an injury and lack of health insurance so yeah... /: one day though! I you really get into it I recommend checking out the primal/paleo lifestyle as well if you have not already! :)ReplyDelete
Yay!! Sooo happy you love it! I love CF and I'm not even in a box yet. lol (The hubs and I do WODs at home, though). For me, the BEST part of CF is the community, which was so apparent at the Games this year (my first time). No matter if you come in first, or last, everyone is cheering you on... all in the name of CrossFit!! ;-)ReplyDelete
I've been thinking about trying CrossFit for a while too! My husband (so weird to write still haha!) and I have watched the CrossFit Games on ESPN for the past couple summers and always talk about how fun it looks. I might just have to try it now. :)ReplyDelete
I'm glad you liked it! I did CrossFit for about two months but it's not fitting into my schedule anymore and I'm sad! Luckily my mom is an addict and had a mini-gym built under our back porch!ReplyDelete
Aw that sounds awesome! Maybe I WILL try Crossfit!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 19, 2012 at 5:53 PM
Glad you liked it! I might give it a try sometime.,just gotta find a place close to me. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Im so obsessed with CrossFit!! It is the best workout ever!! Get ready to get addicted!! And good luck with your first real WOD!!ReplyDelete
Awesome Dani just be careful that you don't get RABDO!!!!! My husband did as in past tense CrossFit. He stopped because they've sold out to Reebok and the risk of doing the crazy WODs. Now he's just into Krav Maga, which I feel is a much better and useful physical fitness outlet.ReplyDelete
PS, My younger sister is into CrossFit though. She actually participated in the Crossfit games last year.ReplyDelete
Woo! I feel so encouraged by these two posts to try it out now!! That's so awesome Danielle, please do keep us posted!ReplyDelete

Hooray for stepping out of your comfort zone and finding it an enjoyable experience. I prefer to work within the walls of my home but have been debating taking my first actual yoga class. Thanks to you I might just have to sign up right away! :)ReplyDelete
I've never heard of this before. I'm glad you enjoy it so much. I just can't wait to be back to school and near a gym.ReplyDelete

Hey Danielle, Sorry this is on an unrelated note...I thought I'd let you know that there's a photo collage floating around on Facebook and you're in it(ignore this if you already know, or if you've approved it). It's on the page "In a relationship your partner is also your best friend" and it's in an album - Not a huge deal but it has almost 7000 'likes'. It just showed up on my homepage. That must be weird for you to see this happen! (I saw where you mentioned about the tattoo'd mom post so I thought you might wanna know.ReplyDelete
- Rachel W.July 20, 2012 at 12:56 PM
This sounds so cool! Are you going to continue doing hot yoga and your regular gym routine as well, or will this replace that?ReplyDelete
This post couldn't have come at a better time! I just had my 3rd baby 3 months ago and I've already completed the entire Insanity series (my 4th time through it) and I'm almost done with The Asylum (again); I've also been wait training again for a couple of months and I run every day. I feel like I'm stuck, though, and REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want to try out CrossFit (it's on my 101 in 1001 list, actually) and this post may be the thing that pushes me over the edge to go ahead and do it! My big worry is more "who's gonna watch my kids" than "this makes me nervous" but reading this gives me hope that I can find a CF gym in my area with child care, too! Thanks for this :)ReplyDelete
I've being seeing a lot of CrossFit on my Instagram feed and on Twitter. After reading this I took the plunge and signed up for a free intro class at a CrossFit gym surprisingly close to my house. I noticed it a few weeks ago while sitting on the patio stuffing my face at a new kosher frozen yogurt place that just opened up. Back in March I dropped my membership at an expensive gym. I loved their yoga glasses but the price didn't seem justified since I felt worthless spending any time on the elliptical and some of the weight machines. I knew it wasn't working anymore and I was so unmotivated. Since then I've just been walking my dogs everyday and hiking on the weekends which is a huge change for me since I'm similar to you. Fitness has been a part of my life since early high school. I'm super nervous about CrossFit since I know I'm out of shape now but I'm excited too because I think finally I'll actually see some major changes in my body for the better. Thanks for the great post!ReplyDelete
thanks for this post, i've been thinking about trying CrossFit, but wasn't sure if it was scary or if i was in shape enough. i may have to give it a try now! :)ReplyDelete
So - here's my problem. I travel for work. There's a team of about 25 of us. Of the team of 25, I'd tell you at least 13 go to Cross Fit every week. Getting up the nerve to try something out of my comfort zone, probably beyond my physical means (it doesn't matter that you set your own levels - my levels are below 0 at this point), AND in front of my co-workers is a little too much to handle. But your one on one introduction sounds like it was pretty awesome, and like it could definitely take away a lot of those nerves.ReplyDelete
I'm excited that you've found something new though :)
