I just bought a new 4 series last month and my warranty includes all scheduled maintenance, including oil changes & brakes.

Thank you for making me feel better. I just bought a new 4 series, 6 speed coupe. It’s my first BMW, after driving a Lexus for 15 years. It is a hoot to drive, but this article made me mighty nervous since I like to keep my cars for a long time, I get very attached to them. I thought German cars were supposed to be…

I drove a Lexus for 15 years, RX 300 & 330. Great car, but my 330 was a money pit, probably due to a couple of major accidents & shitty repair jobs (I learned to NEVER go with the insurance recommended repair shop, they use substandard parts that don’t hold up well. Should have insisted on the dealer collision shop,…

I’ve been a dumb diehard Bernie supporter until the end (I even donated $10 to his campaign yesterday in a last ditch fundraising effort). He sang the song of my people. But I fully embrace Hillary, think she will make an amazing President for the next 8 years, and hope they can find a way to work together to defeat…

Is that a hoo hoo hoodie he’s wearing? OMG #whitelivesmatter!

I feel ya, as someone who spend 8 years toiling away in the bowels of campus for a master’s and doctorate. Guest Lecturer would have been a more appropriate distinction. I have a friend who never finished her degree (ABD), she now adjuncts at my institution and calls herself “Professor _________”. As someone hoping…

Sorry to be *that* person but, those aren’t “spin bikes”-it is a trademarked brand http://www.spinning.com/en/legal_trade…

I do that every single day! (cringe at FB posts from 2009). Why was I so needy for attention?

Thank you for the offer, I will definitely take you up on it.

The rabbit hole your links sent me down gave me a clearer understanding of that, so thank you. I teach an introductory course in special education and even though we only cover autism generally I’m a stickler for accurate info so I will update my lecture notes. Your background and experience is impressive.

I stand corrected-Kanner first used the term in the United States and is largely credited with introducing the concept to the mainstream establishment with his seminal 1943 paper “Autistic Disturbances of Affective Contact”

“Autism” was first used to describe this condition in the 1940s by Dr. Leo Kanner, Johns Hopkins University (also America’s “first” child psychiatrist)

I think one of the nun’s issues was that the developer they wanted would keep the property open to the public, it’s supposed to be a historic building. I don’t have a horse in this race, but if I were Katy I definitely would not want to live in a place where a bunch of old determined nuns had probably put a major…

Yeah, I think the minute any foodstuff is in the dog’s possession, it’s a goner.

Is he also casually chatting on his cell phone while cooking? I like his style.

Exactly-the irony of Keith Thompson is he is the only one doing the right thing in his classes-dancing around the floor like fool. Why does that nonsense have to occur on a bike? I think he’d make a great hiphop instructor, he seems very charismatic although his ego seems through the roof. Like yoga & meditation…

The right instructor makes such a difference-they will inspire and motivate you with a goal of educating, not ego. I’m sad so many of my fellow instructors are ignorant, and dangerous. You’re right, just get moving and do what feels right and you can’t go wrong.

Zumba steps can get pretty complex, but a good basic hiphop or African dance classes tends to use very simple patterns. I’m all for anything that gets people moving, but not at the expense of the years of physical therapy they’re going to need years down the road from the nonsense in that video. Also, I guarantee you…

I know there has been lot of crap going on even in classes with certified Spinning instructors, but those evolved because a lot of instructors came from group ex which is all about creative choreography. A good instructor can take you on a visual journey of mind and body that isn’t boring. Pushups on the bike give you…

I agree-it does look like a high energy dance party that would be a blast to be in, but why not get your groove on like that in a floor based dance class? It is so dumb to do those things a bike, and it’s a bad combination of unsafe and ineffective.
