Technology is everywhere; it has pervaded all parts of our existence. What amuses me more than anything else is that technology is a constant source of entertainment for all of us. The website YouTube is one site that is dedicated solely to the use of personal videos that are viewed for recreational purposes only. This is a site where you can find a video on just about any topic that you want. What are the most popular videos on YouTube? We probably live vicariously when we watch videos of celebrities. That is why celebrity and gossip related videos do the best. But what is it about celebrities that wants us to know everything about them? The celebrity lifestyle is one that is deemed...

We've lost a comedy legend. George Carlin died of heart failure. He was 71. He loved playing with words. It was his legacy. You heard it on his albums, saw him perform them on his HBO concerts and read them in his countless books. Here are ten of my favorite George Carlin sayings: 1. When someone asks you, "A penny for your thoughts," and you put your two cents in, what happens to the other penny? 2. Weather forecast for tonight: dark. Continued dark overnight, with widely scattered light by morning. 3. People who see life as anything more than pure entertainment are missing the point. 4. The future ain't what it used to be. 5. If a safe is unlocked, is it still a safe? 6...

The swimming pool is no longer the sole preserve of swimmers. Water aerobics are active in improving the cardiovascular fitness and also result in better stamina through use of muscles that gain in strength. People of all age groups and all fitness levels can perform water aerobics because only 10 to 15 percent of the body weight is not supported by water buoyancy. It leads to less tension being placed on the joints during aquatic activities, when compared with exercising on the land. As a result of the buoyancy that water gives as well as the support that a body receives from water there are less worries about putting muscle, bone or joint injuries. Primarily because water aerobics are usually...

 Style and technology are assorted in their own positions. But, when you can avail something which is the perfect symbol of fashion and technology it would automatically boost you up to plunge into the purchasing decision. In order to make your existence felt in the gathering you obviously try a lot of things, so do I. But of late I observed that the current 'in thing' in the world of style is the mobile phones.

Words have power. Their invisible, weightless energy shapes and colors the world around us like an artist's brush. An endless supply of opinions flood us from corporate media, the Internet and other forms of mass and personal communication everyday. Soundbite-driven mass media reduces complex issues into black and white fragments forcing viewers into an artificial us-versus-them mentality. Caught in this morass of information overload, we don't have time to think and sort through all the competing perspectives. Certainly our education system holds some responsibility for weakening the "art of conversation," but no matter the source, our interpersonal, family and civic lives are in jeopardy. With...

If you are anything like me, you've been touched by dance in one form or another at some point in your life. Maybe it was the first time you went to see The Nutcracker as a child. Perhaps you were caught up in the world of Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire, admiring their tap dancing in classic films. Or you might have caught a group of street performers one day, or an ethnic dance troupe at a community festival. Dance is something anyone can appreciate, but only a few people can do very well. Every person has the ability to develop their natural abilities, but it isn't something you're born knowing how to do. In order to dance-really dance-you need training.

HBO is trying something that they've never attempted before. While most of the serials on HBO involve dark, gritty storylines, such as those found in the mafia hit The Sopranos or the life-on-the-inside prison drama Oz, they've decided to take a step in another direction. Lucky Louie recently premiered on the station, and it's HBO's attempt at landing the sitcom crowd. Starring Louis CK, a semi-famous stand up comic as the man of the house, the show also features Pamela Adlon playing his wife and 5 year old Kelly Gould playing his daughter. The chemistry of the cast is excellent, with fresh and savvy dialogue that you'd expect from a Hollywood comedy writing team. Lucky Louie follows the life of a...

Just like salsa, Bachata Dance is becoming progressively popular not only in the United States, but in the world. But there are some dancers out there that instead of rejoicing over bachata's popularity, they have become prejudiced to whomever is dancing bachata dissimilar to the way they dance. Perhaps I can partly elucidate in this article on why bachata is where it is supposed to be going. It's called innovation. Innovation in Latin Dance is really not a modern phenomenon. In fact, dance innovation did not begin and end with Eddie Torres or Francisco Vasquez. Although Eddie was one of our foremost contemporary dance innovators, innovation is as old as the Cuban Son or traditional Bachata...

Music is a universal language. Exposing children to the music, songs and dances of other cultures should simply be another aspect of the music and movement program, integrated quite naturally on a daily basis. In the home setting, where only one language is spoken, it is a good idea to expose children regularly to the sounds of another language through music. Why is it a good idea? Young children learn by being actively involved in the process, through exploring and experimenting, through copying and acting out. And so it is with learning music, including the music (and language) of another culture, the foundations for which are best learnt while developing primary language. As such, a successful...

In sports, some degree of aggressiveness is vital. Don't get me wrong, when I use the word aggressive I am referring to that fierce, tenacious spirit that builds true winners. It is the kind of spirit that allows the sports person to fail and reenergize to succeed at the next try. It is the kind of aggression that sees opportunities and seizes them to clutch victory over and over again. This kind of aggressiveness is in my mind a hallmark of sportsmanship. Sadly, however, a trend is emerging on and off the field that is troubling. It is a kind of aggressiveness that has become toxic anger. A simple little league game can become a brawl that ends up in court or worse, in the hospital. Words fly on...
