Learning to dance is fun and it is easy. In a sense it is like learning a new language, a language in which moods and emotions are expressed in movement; a language of rhythm, grace and harmony. It is new, but in a very real sense it is the oldest language in the world, for dancing is the oldest form of art. Dancing is a wholesome, natural outlet for the emotions. It develops grace and poise, timing and balance. Men take pride in their ability to lead their partners with assurance and poise. Ladies enjoy the ability to follow their partners smoothly, expertly and correctly. The ability to dance develops personality, and above all it is fun. Perhaps you want to learn to get fit, for a social occasion or to meet new friends. Plus if you know what you want to get out of it this helps your instructor. Lots of people start with social dancing. Social dancing classes are great places to learn ballroom dancing. A small percentage of social dancers later find that their love of dance compels them to become competitive dancers. Social dances normally start with a one hour dance lesson and it is normally possible to find weekly group dance lessons especially for beginners. You can watch it at your leisure, plus watch it as many times as you like to aid learning. A good video will help you practice once you start lessons. Dancing is a great stress reliever. It builds confidence, alertness and good attitude. It also has been proven to have a great physical benefit as it physically tones the whole body in enjoyable exercise. Dancing can be a fun way to lose weight and get into shape. Just check out the potential for burning calories Burn 309 calories with just one hour of Ballet, Tap or Freestyle, 290 calories with Country Line Dancing or Swing and 193 calories with the Waltz. If you can get there easier you will keep going and repetition is the key to quick learning. Not sure if you want to learn? Some nightclubs or studios hold introductory lessons. A number of websites have a dance studio locator, so that you can find studios local to you. In addition these sites have lots of free instructional material. Check out a few different dance studios. Most dance studios will offer group and private lessons. Look for studios offering a mixture of the two. How many teachers do they have? Do they have an introductory offer? You may also find ballroom dance classes at local colleges and many city or county recreational departments include ballroom dance classes. Some organizations such as the YWCA, Community Centers, Elks or Moose Lodges offer dance lessons to their members and guests. Plus you'll be more knowledgeable about the style and rhythm of the different dances before you start classes. Don't forget to get my free book that covers the basics of ballroom dancing, details at the end of these tips. Lots of classes accept singles. If you already have a partner then you can have fun learning together. As a beginner you may prefer the privacy of individual tuition and certainly you will learn quicker, they can also be useful if you have missed some group classes and do not want to get left behind or you feel that you need extra tuition. However when starting out consider the social aspect of group learning which most people find stimulating, challenging and lots of fun. Group classes are also less expensive.

They're easy for autos and trucks to miss or disregard. Over the last decade, there has been an increase in serious and sometimes fatal accidental injuries to motorcyclists. Consequently, responsible motorcyclists always stay alert to nearby vehicles and their surroundings. But that's not enough if you want to take a safe ride. In many important ways, operating a motorcycle is not like driving an automobile. So you have to change your way of thinking and your way of driving when you ride your motorcycle. For example, to turn a motorcycle left or right, it's not just a matter of turning a steering wheel. You must lean left or right depending on which way you want to go. Your motorcycle has two brakes, and you must learn to use them both and in coordination with each other. Unlike most automobiles which are equipped with automatic transmission, you will need to shift gears on a motorcycle. For this reason, going up or downhill can be particularly tricky. And these are just a few of the differences you need to learn. Wear bright colored clothing. Fluorescent, orange and/or yellow shirts, vests, jackets, and helmets enhance visibility during the day. At night, wear reflective material on helmets, vests/jackets, and even shoes. Remember, you must be seen from the side, not just the back and front. Put reflective material on the sides of your helmet, clothing and shoes, not just on the front and back. If a motorist can't see you or your bike, he won't take action to avoid you. Make it a habit to use your turn signals always. Turn signals tell other drivers what you plan to do. They make your bike easier to see on the road. Nearby motor vehicle operators are more likely to notice your bike's flashing turn signal than its activated taillight. Equally important, however, is the need to deactivate your turn signal as soon as you complete your turn or as soon as you decide not to turn after all. If your turn signal remains activated after you have made a turn, the driver behind you may assume you will turn again, and he may pull directly into your path. Enhance your visibility by tapping your foot brake lightly before you slow down, especially when you anticipate a quick stop. The flashing brake light will alert the driver behind you to your sudden change in speed. Stay out of blind spots. Motorcyclists are more at risk in a blind spot than other motorists because their cycles are relatively small compared to trucks and automobiles. Whenever you approach a vehicle you may want to pass, you must make a choice, and quickly too. Do you really want to pass? If so, pass as fast as you reasonably can. If not, drop back, well out of the blind spot. The less time you spend in another driver's blind spot, the safer you will be. As you travel along the roads and highways behind another vehicle, take care to position your bike where the other driver will be able to see you in his rear view mirror. Keep in mind that intersections are always dangerous. It's where most motorcycle crashes happen because auto or truck drivers who approach an intersection sometimes fail to see the motorcyclist who has the right of way as he travels down the main thoroughfare. Keep your headlights on night and day. Sound strange? Yes, but studies show that keeping your headlights on high beam during daylight hours increases your visibility to oncoming traffic and prevents accidents. Wear a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 218 compliant helmet every time you ride your bike. It's the law in many states so you may have no choice in the matter. Regardless, it is always safer to ride wearing a helmet that meets recognized Snell, ANSI, and/or Federal DOT standards. Statistics show helmets are 37% effective in preventing fatal injuries. What does this mean? For every 100 motorcyclists who die in motorcycle crashes, 37 of them would have been saved had they been wearing a helmet when the accident happened. And make certain your helmet is, in fact, a certified/compliant helmet. Watch out for helmets with false certifications or counterfeit stickers imprinted with a DOT symbol. Accidents happen close to home, not just far away. Never say to yourself, "Well, I'm just going a mile or two to the store or to a friend's house, why should I bother with a helmet?" Helmets save lives. They give you some measure of protection against serious brain injuries in the event of an accident. In addition to helmet laws, there may be requirements in your state regarding face shields and safety glasses or goggles. Face shields protect your face from rain, dust, insects and flying debris. Goggles protect your eyes. Special regulations may control whether or not a motorcycle may carry a second passenger. This usually depends on whether your motorcycle is equipped with a permanent seat specially designed to carry a second person. A passenger who is not properly seated on a motorcycle is at increased risk of falling off a bike and accidental injury. Follow state and local traffic laws. Motorcyclists must follow the same "rules of the road" and traffic regulations as automobiles and trucks. These laws may be even more important to the safety of the motorcycle operator than to drivers of other motor vehicles. After all, motorcycles are not equipped with the same physical protections and restraints found in autos and trucks. Familiarize yourself with the general motor vehicle laws of your state. Just as important, study carefully the statutes directed specifically at the operation of motorcycles. They were enacted to help ensure your safety. Take a motorcycle rider skills training course. You can pay with your life if you don't learn the essential skills necessary to operate a motorcycle properly and safely. Most everyone takes a driver training course to obtain an automobile driver's license when they are teenagers. In fact, many states mandate such instruction because well trained automobile operators make for safer roads and highways. It makes just as much sense for motorcycle operators to take a skills training course given by a professional instructor and designed specifically for motorcycle operation. There are motorcycle rider skills training courses in most states. Your state department of motor vehicles, for one, should have information on such programs. And remember, there are skills training courses not just for the novice but for the more experienced rider as well. Take the time to refresh and refine your rider techniques by taking an advanced skills course every few years. Obtain the driver's license endorsement you need to legally operate a motorcycle in your state. Statistics kept by The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tell us that 25% of the motorcyclists who died as a result of traffic accidents in 2004 were either not licensed at all or were not properly licensed to operate a motorcycle. Think you don't have to maintain the same distance behind an auto or truck that an auto or truck must keep as it travels behind other vehicles? Wrong! A motorcycle ordinarily requires as much stopping distance as an automobile. Studies have shown that following too closely is a major cause of accidents on the part of the motorcyclist. Don't ride in an impaired condition. It is no surprise that alcohol and other drugs play a substantial role in too many motorcycle accidents. In 2004, for example, alcohol was involved in a much higher percentage of motorcycle accidents (31% higher) than auto accidents. And worse, according to NHSTA, 41 percent of the 1672 motorcyclists who died in single vehicle crashes in 2004 had blood alcohol levels above the legal minimum of .08 g/dL. Never ride while intoxicated. Give your bike a "pre trip" inspection. Long distance truckers give their tractor trailers daily pre trip inspections and so should motorcycle operators. Check tire air pressure and the hydraulic fluid level. Look for signs of an oil or gas leak. Do headlights and taillights work in both high and low beam? Are your brake lights and turn signals operational? Do you need to refill your coolant reservoir? Clutch and throttle should work smoothly. Clean your mirrors and adjust them when needed. Engage your front and rear brake levers, one brake at a time, to ensure they are in working order. Never ride someone else's bike without first familiarizing yourself with its particular features and/or without giving it a pre trip inspection. Women Nike Free Run 2 Blue White Yellow,I started covering markets at Forbes in the summer of 2007. Right around then a pair of Bear Stearns hedge funds imploded in the first tremors of the financial crisis, but I swear the recession isn't my fault. Armed with only a basic knowledge of Wall Street at the start, after a few thousand stories I've got a pretty good handle on this business. My contributions to the Forbes brand don't end when I leave the office either: I'm also a two time MVP of the Forbes .400 softball team. From the depths of March 2009 the S 500 has just about doubled, rising from 666 to 1,322 in two years. And though everything from escalating oil prices to the anticipated end of the Federal Reserve's asset purchases threatens the advance, Barclays Capital is still advising clients to buy on the dips and stick with the surging equity market. Part of the firm's case for a continued rally goes back to the historically accommodative monetary policy from the Fed. Treasury debt, scooping up the supply of "risk free" securities and pushing investors to equities and other risk assets. Larry Kantor, Barclays Capital's head of research, acknowledges there are factors that could derail that trend, but for the time being he does not see anything that will kill the two year surge in equities. "Almost every box on the checklist [that makes stocks attractive] is filled," says Kantor. An economic recovery is underway, the Fed is holding the line on interest rates and corporate balance sheets are flush with cash, far less debt burdened than they were pre crisis and lean enough that any incremental revenue gains are flowing straight to the bottom line. GDP and, most importantly, missteps from the Fed when it finally shifts gears on policy. While the unrest in the Middle East is a concern, Kantor is skeptical that oil at current levels West Texas crude traded near $105 a barrel Tuesday is going to have a prolonged impact on the equity market. He argues that a chunk of the current price is tied more to better economic growth prospects, since crude traded through the $90 level before the violent uprisings in countries like Egypt and Libya. The European debt picture seems to be stabilizing the ECB is widely expected to tighten interest rates in an inflation fighting measure at its next meeting and for the time being it appears that officials will be able to "draw the line at Spain," says Kantor. "If the Fed gets in front of it, I don't think it's a killer," says Kantor, who expects a bigger correction in fixed income than stocks." The threat, he warns, is if they keep the accelerator pressed to the floor and the same conversation is on the table a year from now, when the S will presumably be considerably higher. "If [the Fed] get ahead of it maybe you see a 10 15% correction, if not it could be a lot bigger."

I have some swelling this pregnancy, but nothing like what I had with my most recent pregnancy prior. I have to agree with pp's. Keep your feet up as much as possible, drink LOTS of water (which seems counterintuitive, but it does work!) and lay on your left side. Please, though, pay attention to other symptoms headaches, high blood pressure, etc, as this, along with swelling, could indicate preeclampsia. Keep your doctor informed, and do not wait if you think you have any of the symptoms, as it could be life threatening! My OB primary care physician both had me drinking straight grapefruit juice (not the pink stuff) and elevating my feet as much as possible. My nutritionist told me easy on the bananas because of the high sugar content and that wouldn't make a difference anyway those are good for leg cramps (potassium). I had such horrible swelling I couldn't wear shoes or leave the house after a certain point. I couldn't write, either. My hands and feet were disgusting. Women Nike Free Run 2 Blue White Yellow At age 14 I was a willowy little thing with long blonde hair and braces. Not yet old enough to drive, I was grown up enough to ride the bus from our town of Gresham, Oregon to downtown Portland for my orthodontist appointments. I liked going to Portland it made me feel worldly and mature. On the way home I frequently stopped at the street corner flower vendors for a bunch of bright mini carnations to bring back for a teacher or the school librarian just a little gift to give something back to those who were investing in me. But on one bright spring day, I got a gift of my own from one of the most surprising sources. After my appointment, my braces newly tightened, I sauntered downtown several blocks to stand on the street where the bus back to Gresham came by every 20 minutes. Even now, more than 3 decades later I can still recall the bounce in my step and how the day felt so crisp and clean and ripe. I was dressed in blue chinos, a gauzy white button down peasant shirt and my "Blue Uglies". My Blue Uglies were a pair of ankle high lace up blue suede shoes with crepe soles that I wore every day rain or shine. They were my favorite shoes, my lucky shoes and to my Mom's chagrin, in my opinion my only shoes of any worth. I recall that on this day, I breezed down the 6 blocks to my corner which was situated close to the river, bordering on a slightly seedier section of town. When I arrived, I leaned my back against the sun warmed window, rested one foot against its sill and relaxed in the sunlight. I could feel my hair down my back and I felt at ease, beautiful and as if I was in synch with the world. As I reclined waiting for the bus, I noticed a vagrant ambling up the next block. As he crossed the street and headed my way, I felt curiously calm. He was a young man, probably early 20's, carrying a bottle in a brown paper bag. His pants were frayed, his old tan corduroy jacket had the cuffs rolled up, his light brown hair scruffy. As he came my direction he repeatedly stopped folks on the street to ask them if they had a bottle opener. Each individual he greeted veered left or right or backed up into shops with open doors so as to avoid this man. I remember thinking that something in this picture just wasn't right. This street person evoked such a strong reaction from passersby but he seemed to be non threatening. Of course I was a teen and as such perhaps I didn't register the real danger but I felt as if much of his actions were for show, or shock value or almost as if it was a costume he had adorned. I had no doubt that this young man was indeed a vagrant but somehow there seemed more to him than met the eye. The fellow continued my way, repelling people left and right and as he moved past me, I was reclining in a perfect beam of sunlight shafting between the clouds. Suddenly he stopped, turned his head, brown eyes steadily on mine he said, "Do me a favor. Just promise me you will never rip anybody off." Without thinking, I answered, "OK. I promise." And there it was, a promise to a person I didn't even know that I would never steal from anyone. My gaze hit the pavement. In a flash I recalled the two times I had stolen. Once, I had taken less than a dollar's worth of candy from Safeway. Another time, my girlfriend Judy and I had lifted a piece of red fabric with little white dots from a local store which she had then turned into a halter top which I had happily worn. Suddenly I didn't feel so happy about that top. I instinctively knew there was more to the story of this young man. Had innocent little childhood pranks of his own led him to where he was today? I looked up to watch him continue down the street but incredible as it seemed he was gone. I jumped away from the wall. No way could he have made the trip to the corner in that moment when my eyes were averted. I ran down the block, checking in each store as I passed. I made it to the corner and looked left and right but the mysterious young man in the tattered clothes, with the bottle of beer had vanished. Slowly I returned to the bus stop. My young mind was awhirl with possibilities: Had I actually been lost in thought? no it was only a moment. Was he an angel? Maybe someone sent by God with a message that I could ignore at my peril. Whatever the reason his words and my promise made an impact that is felt even to this day. The following week, I went to Safeway and gave them the 87 cents I owed, telling the manager I owed them for candy for which I hadn't paid. I went to that little store and told them the truth. I paid the $1.17 for that piece of fabric and had them wrap the receipt as a gift. I gave the package to Judy, telling her I was done stealing and that I had paid our debt. Not too long ago a teller at the grocery store under charged me for the items in my cart and I made sure he put it through again at the appropriate rate. The promise I made to this man, and myself is not one I have difficulty keeping. Perhaps he was an angel. Perhaps he was just a fellow who had lost his way and didn't want a pretty young girl to follow in his footsteps. All I know is that I am grateful for his advice. Being honest belongs to that clean crisp spring day of my youth. It keeps things clean and crisp even now. Together for 30 years and counting, people still ask Ariel and Shya if they are on their honeymoon.
