The year is not over yet! You still have time to make good on this year's resolutions and to get a head start on your goals for 2013. These months are a great time to exercise outdoors and enjoy cooler temperatures. Discover park trails and take in some new scenery, whether you're walking, hiking, biking, rowing, or enjoying any other outdoor activity. Try kayaking or canoeing for an excellent whole-body workout and a great change of pace. Remember, it doesn't have to seem like exercise to be a great work- out. Even raking leaves or doing outdoor yard work is a great way to get the heart pumping and burn calories. Are you geared up for the fall premieres of your favorite television shows? While you watch, do standing lunges, triceps dips off the couch, or lift weights. During commercials, do push-ups, planks, or stretch. In a one-hour show, you probably have close to 20 minutes worth of commercials when you could be working out. The best way to enjoy fall is to exercise outdoors, but it is getting darker earlier and staying dark later in the morning, so be smart and safe. Wear reflective clothing or carry a flashlight. When cycling, affix a light to your helmet or bike. If possible, use trails or a local school track to avoid vehicle traffic. If you must use a street with vehicle traffic, try to work out at the same time every day, so drivers get used to seeing you. When exercising outside, layer your clothing. Before your body warms up, you may feel chilled, but once the blood gets pumping, you'll feel overdressed. Fall is the time to rejuvenate the body, mind and spirit. Get a massage after your run or take an additional 20 minutes to stretch and relax. Learn to meditate. Take an art or cooking class. Treat yourself, not just with exercise, but other activities that promote wellness, so you can feel good physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. People are motivated by different things. It's important to first discover what your individual goals are, whether it's losing weight, strengthening and ton- ing, or preparing for a race. Creating a challenge for yourself will motivate you, as will encouragement and accountability. Then choose an activity that is in line with your goals and that you will enjoy doing because you will be more likely to keep it up. Remember that 65 percent of Americans are considered overweight (and unhealthy), so if you struggle with your nutrition and your fitness, you are not alone. Find a friend, a group, or a team to stay active with and hold each other accountable. In my experience, there truly is strength in numbers. By allowing others in to your fitness journey you will be setting yourself up for success. Get a jumpstart on your health and wellness goals for 2013 by falling in love with fitness this season. See health and fitness as a reward, not a chore. Treating your body with respect and focusing on a healthy lifestyle truly is a reward that keeps on giving in so many ways, for years to come. 3 | wire magazine | issue #41, 2012 | www.wireweekly.com | facebook | twitter EDITOR IN CHIEF’S NOTE MEMORIES OF PUMPKIN BEER ublishing a weekly magazine keeps you ex- tremely busy and always thinking two or three issues ahead, while trying to finish and publish the magazine for the particular week you are work- ing on. So your life – days, weeks, and months – can go by very fast. This week I was reminded of Rafa Carvajal that when I went back to the Lost & Found Saloon Publisher/Editor in Chief and realized that five years had gone by since I set foot inside and KB, the owner, offered me my first Associate Publisher glass of pumpkin beer – before Halloween 2007.

However, a lot has changed in the neighborhood. New development has brought many new restaurants to Midtown, Columnists Wynwood, and the Design District, and landlords now feel they can charge a lot more Alfredo Barrios in rent, even though the economy is still slow and people are limiting their spending. Alyn Darnay Dane Steele Green Seven years after he first opened the Lost & Found Saloon at 185 NW 36th St. in Ken Hunt Miami, KB is still serving that delectable pumpkin beer every Halloween season. He Michael Sasser also continues to work very long hours, without any vacation time, to keep alive his Kevin Wynn dream of owning such a unique place just a couple of blocks away from the Midtown Miami Target. I encourage you to join the many locals, artists, truckers, and industry Writers people who love a delectable meal and a fine selection of brews until the wee hours James Cubby of the morning, and stop by to say hello to KB.

    The Joyce Dance Education Program Resource and Reference Guide Photo by Laura Diffenderfer The Joyce’s School & Family Programs are supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council; and made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. Special support has been provided by Con Edison, The Walt Disney Company, A.L. and Jennie L. Luria Foundation, and May and Samuel Rudin Family Foundation, Inc. December 10, 2018 Dear Teachers, The resource and reference material in this guide for Malpaso Dance Company is filled with information and ideas that support the performance and the study unit you will create with your teaching artist. For this performance, Malpaso will present Ohad Naharin’s Tabla Rasa in its entirety. Tabula Rasa made its world premiere on the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre on February 6, 1986. Thirty-two years after that first performance, on May 4, 2018, this seminal work premiered on Malpaso Dance Company in Cuba. Check out the link here for the mini-documentary on Ohad Naharin’s travels to Havana to work with Malpaso. This link can also be found in the Resources section of this study guide. A new work by company member Beatriz Garcia Diaz will also be on the program, set to music by the Italian composer Ezio Bosso. The title of this work is the Spanish word Ser, which translates to “being” in English. I love this quote by Kathleen Smith from NOW Magazine Toronto: "As the theatre begins to vibrate with accumulated energy, you get the feeling that they could dance just about any genre with jaw-dropping style.
