Hi all, I'm very excited about two new classes I'll be offering on Wednesday mornings at Together in Motion. (The wonderful Charlene and Marisa will be taking over the Wednesday morning StrollerFit class) The demo is Wednesday, March 10 from 9:30 to 10:15 (Sculpt), and then 10:30-11:20 (Restore the Core) Pre-registration is required. Please RSVP to reserve your spot! Read more here: Two new classes are coming to Together in Motion, and they're perfect for moms of all ages! You can bring your non-mobile babies to the classes. Babysitting for mobile children will be available in the lounge area for a small fee. Mommymuscle sculpt is a 45 minute group exercise class that will help you build long lean muscles and is perfect for moms of all ages and fitness levels. The mommymuscle sculpt format utilizes the mommymuscle bar, a weighted bar and resistance tube combo, that delivers faster results than using just weights or just resistance tubes. New moms are encouraged to workout with their child in a front carrier! This class will meet Wednesdays at 9:30 am. Restore the Core is a 50 minute mat pilates-like class that focuses on form in order to stabilize the muscles of the core. We will work on tightening all of the muscles of the core, including the abdominal muscles, hamstrings, glutes, and thighs. Non-mobile babies are welcome but not required to take class. This class will meet Wednesdays at 10:30 am. Both classes begin March 24th. They run on 8 week sessions, and cost $135 each, including equipment. Be a "Powermom," enroll in both classes, and save! $240 for both classes. Free demo classes on Wednesday, March 10th. *Mommymuscle sculpt at 9:30 am *Restore the Core at 10:30 am
This talk will address the inherent difficulties of learning history in high schoolâ?"inherent, because unlike disciplines that use a specialized vocabulary for discussing knowledge and ideas, history draws on the linguistic resources of everyday life. Relying on an eight-month classroom ethnography in a Jerusalem high school, Shane-Sagiv will show how seemingly straightforward notions such as "anti-Semitism" become, in the transaction of classroom life, a site of confusion reflecting the complexity of â??school historyâ??: learning about the past while struggling to find a common ground between disciplinary terms and student knowledge and interests. A close investigation of this confusion calls attention to how the disciplinaryâ?"the everyday and schoolingâ?"may be at cross purposes, and how we may become more astute in dealing with this.
Chava Shane-Sagiv earned both a B.A and M.A. in history from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She taught high school history and has been involved in research and development of educational initiatives in Israel. Chava is interested in the cognitive and socio-cultural processes that influence the learning of history and the relationship between academic learning and identity building. Her doctoral dissertation, which she is completing at the Hebrew University, focuses on how Israeli high school students make sense of their history lessons. She lives with her family in Israel, but is currently spending a year in New Haven, Connecticut.

New restaurant -- this one in Newton - - India Paradise. Yes, they have a buffet on weekends! Probable cost: $15 -- includes buffet, tax and tip, plus $1 to support the meetup. (plus cost of any extras ordered from the menu) This month's book, Family Matters, from the author of A Fine Balance. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS ARE POSTED ON THE MESSAGE BOARD! Review from Publishers Weekly: "Warm, humane, tender and bittersweet are not the words one would expect to describe a novel that portrays a society where the government is corrupt, the standard of living is barely above poverty level and religious, ethnic and class divisions poison the community. Yet Mistry's compassionate eye and his ability to focus on the small decencies that maintain civilization, preserve the family unit and even lead to happiness attest to his masterly skill as a writer who makes sense of the world by using laughter, as one of his characters observes. Bombay in the mid-1990s, a once-elegant city in the process of deterioration, is mirrored in the physical situation of elderly retired professor Nariman Vakeel, whose body is succumbing to the progressive debilitation of Parkinsons disease. Narimans apartment, which he shares with his two resentful, middle-aged stepchildren, is also in terrible disrepair. But when an accident forces him to recuperate in the tortuously crowded apartment that barely accommodates his daughter Roxana, her husband and two young boys, family tensions are exacerbated and the limits of responsibility and obligation are explored with a full measure of anguish. In the ensuing situation, everyones behavior deteriorates, and the affecting secret of Narimans thwarted lifetime love affair provides a haunting leitmotif. Light moments of domestic interaction, a series of ridiculous comic situations, ironic juxtapositions and tenderly observed human eccentricities provide humorous relief, as the author of A Fine Balance again explores the tightrope act that constitutes life on this planet. Mistry is not just a fiction writer; he's a philosopher who finds meaning-indeed, perhaps a divine plan in small human interactions. This beautifully paced, elegantly expressed novel is notable for the breadth of its vision as well as its immensely appealing characters and enticing plot."

By Rogelio Martinez A new play produced in cooperation with Primary Stages in New York Directed by Ari Edelson March 11-14, 2010 Laurie Theater
In partnership with Primary Stages in New York City, long known for introducing new plays by acclaimed playwrights including Horton Foote, A.R. Gurney, Willy Holtzman, Romulus Linney, Donald Margulies, Terrence McNally, John Henry Redwood, John Patrick Shanley, and Lee Blessing, the Brandeis Theater Company presents a new play from Rogelio Martinez, one of the emerging playwrights who participated in the Dorothy Streslin Writer's Group at Primary Stages. Fidel Castro disappeared from public life in August 2006; Michael, an American journalist, travels to an awakening Cuba with hope of interviewing Castro, but first he must navigate a post-Communist labyrinth of quirky bureaucracy. Cuba casts a spell on Michael that lures him away from a life and world he thought he knew and loved.
Made possible through generous support from the Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust, The Brandeis Arts Council, The Jaffe Foundation and the Herbert and Kim Marie Beigel New Play Fund.
"Cocktail Time in Cuba" was originally commissioned by the Atlantic Theater Company.

Okay, so the last Watertown Meetup sort of fizzled, but let's try again. Same place - Not Your Average Joe's in Watertown Square. This time, we're looking at 6:00 pm on Sunday March 14, hopefully that will give folks more time to make plans. The food is varied, the drinks are flowing and fun just never ends... Or whatever. Also, the location is accessible by MBTA and has parking in the back. Let me know if you have any questions!
New England Organizer Meetup for March 2010 time for Review and Planning for a Fun Year Ahead OK so this group been dead for some time now and I have been busy so I feel bad so sorry. I would really like it if we could have a monthly meeting going forward so I am looking for some outgoing members to help out. I can run like 2-3 meetings a year at best sorry I am busy. I was hoping Adam and Angela could try to run at least 2 each as well. If we could get 3 more members to help we can meet this goal so I am reaching out get help and running 2 meetings a year should not be that tough right??...........Let get moving on this please. This group will only be helpful if you make an extra effort to help and to real try to attend the monthly meetings as they happen. WE ARE NEVER GOING TO HAVE A PREFECT LOCATION so instead of complaining about location offer to run a meeting in your area please. Ok we will do short introductions and we will not spend too much time crying over spilt milk its NOT a time to complain but a time to reflect and make improvements to this and to your smore importantly! This meeting will be 1 hour long so please do not be late and there will be a 30 minute free period to chat with others and for a short follow-up! This is MBTA assessable via the Redline Alewife MBTA Station stop and there is FREE parking across the street from the Bertucci and its marked as such. YOU DO NOT have to pay to park here since we are eating at Bertucci. Bertucci is actual inside connected to one side of the MBTA station but is accessible from the street /side walk too. Subjects of interest: 1. How to increase your membership. A.Try to define and target your core members. B. Do you really know and understand them? Do you care? C. Please write down 5 good and bad traits your members have...I bet you will be surprise we all share these as well! 2. Why do your members really come to your events??....The REAL answers might shock you! 3. Meetup fees how do deal with them? A. Can you get Sponsorship B. How to go about it? 4. RSVPing and No shows how to deal with them? 5. How to pick a good Meetup event location? A. Are there free places? B. Are ther places that will pay you to go to them? 6. Do you realize the power of your Meetup group and what can it really do? 7. Again we all should be using the message boards as well to help each other That should keep us busy for1 hour. Ok so please let me know if you can make this its important and will help us all. You are NOT alone in your Meetup issue we all go through these! Thanks and ciao Biagio
