How did potters in antiquity know if their glazes would turn out the way they wanted during firing? While experience and tacit knowledge are important factors, it is much more economically feasible to use firing testers. By using glaze sticks, potters could first test their glazes, without potentially misfiring an entire vase. A nice detail of Magna Graecia potters' studio practice! Pictured here is a bunch of black-glaze sticks from the late 5th to early 4th century BC, excavated along the Via Leonida in Tarente between 1988 and 1989. #technicalarthistory #arthistory #archaeology #archeology #museum #archeologicalmuseum #archeologymuseum #blackglazepottery #ancientpottery #studiopractice #potters #5thcenturybc #4thcenturybc #potteryglaze #potteryfiring #ancientpotters #tarente #taranto #italy #puglia #blackglaze #black #redfigure #blackfigure #magnagrecia #magnagraecia #ancient #greekvase #vasepainting #antiquity (bij Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Taranto - MARTA)

Please never forget to stretch after all your workouts like I do

Even if you're just taking it easy and not even breaking a sweat during your exercises, including constitutional walks and family saunters and even really slow rows on your rowing erg, never forget to give yourself a nice stretch every time your done with your exercises, even if you just get just a little bit of a warm-up. Do a little stretching every time and not just at the end of the day--even if you feel like your exertion isn't worth the time. Stretching sucks at first but then, after a while, it's amazing. Stretch your hamstrings, quadriceps, your calves, inner-thighs, outer-thighs, and groin. Then stretch your back and shoulders if you're erging on your Concept2.

I have been spending about an hour every day since Thanksgiving on the rowing machine and have forgotten to stretch at all until just now. Man, I was completely stiff even after warming up. I won't let that happen again--and neither should you! I am participating in the 2017 Concept2 Holiday Challenge but taking is really slow. I should follow my own advice since I wrote don’t swing your kettlebells without stretching your body after I didn't stretch after doing a very aggressive and all-day-long greasing the groove workout in the form of swinging a kettlebell for 90-seconds every 60-minutes and became a zombie, limping, Frankenstein’s monster. Killed my progress dead.

I didn't start preparing for the Concept2 Holiday Challenge when Concept2 told me to so I am building up my mobility, stamina, strength, and power as I head slowly but surely towards 200,000 meters logged by the strike of midnight between Christmas Even and Christmas Day. It's not recommended. It happens (to me every year). I really need to make sure I continue rowing a little bit every day like I keep on promising myself (I promise myself to row 10,000 meters every day). Read the full article
