Request a live demoof the Acquia platform
We work hard with partners to keep a steady flow of Drupal training events in our calendar to bring Drupal training as close to you as possible. However DrupalCon poses a great opportunity for you to get training on a variety of speciality topics. It's an opportunity to learn from people whose skills are much in demand.
By Heather James
If you're responsible for building and skilling up a team to develop Drupal sites, I'm going to introduce you to three inspiring internship programs you should know about. I'm also going to show you what is working in those programs to give you some ideas of how you can build your own team and give someone a great chance to change their lives.
In my first blog post, I outlined the main sources for fresh news and info about Drupal. In this post, I'll round up the best blog sources for tutorials in the Drupal community.
There's such a large volume of great content coming out for Drupal lately for both new and experienced Drupal developers.
If you're new to Drupal you maybe haven't noticed yet. Things more fast in Drupal. One of the mottos is: "The Drop is always moving". It can be hard to find out what new tools and methods are becoming popular and where the action is. Good thing is, there's lots of great sources with a high signal-to-noise ratio.
In this first blog post, I'm going to show you the main sources for fresh news and information about Drupal. In the next post, I'll round up the best blogs and sources for tutorials in the Drupal community.
Heather James, Acquia's Manager of Learning Services, has been in and around Drupal since the version 4 days. She says people new to Drupal "have an easier time at this stage coming to Drupal" than they did 6 years ago. Nonetheless, her early experiences learning how to use Drupal are still reflected by the questions people ask learning Drupal today. This, combined with her excitement about Drupal's potential and her background as an educator, motivated her to become a Drupal trainer. She is passionate about education ("When you're teaching, you're building a bridge from what people know to what they don't know.") and says about her job at Acquia, "I feel like I have a patron who helps me do the things I like to do, which is get out there and teach people."
Learn Drupal 7 theming in English or French in the US, Austria, Canada, France or Switzerland. See the upcoming course dates for 2013.
View a list of dates for this comprehensive Drupal training course over 5 days.
Have you inherited a Drupal site? You may be wondering how you can improve on and expand your site.
This five day package would suit junior developers with no prior experience with programming. These may be a team of developers at a digital agency. Or it may be cross-functional teams from across an organization. This package is suitable at the start of a project where a team will want to get familiar with how Drupal works to plan and implement. Or it is also suitable when moving development and customization in-house after another agency has done the development work previous.
Hernâni Borges de Freitas, a Technical Consultant at Acquia, specialises in "Doing lots of things with Drupal at scale: training and helping people go the right direction in Drupal. Acquia is bringing Drupal to different markets and perspectives, to big companies who want to use it to achieve better results. We make sure they go in the right direction. When they choose Drupal, we help make sure they choose the right solution, adapted to their needs, and that can grow with their business, instead of some closed solution that dies after a while."
In the landscape of web development, working and learning are converging. I think about this quite a bit at Acquia as we keep tuning our courses and training program.
We often focus on the technical benefits of adopting Drupal. However, it occurred to me the other day, there are potential auxiliary benefits in terms of empowering staff by using Drupal. Drupal has the potential to increase job satisfaction and motivation by posing a fundamental shift in how individuals and organization work.
Starting in September, I'll be teaching a 10 week long course at Queen's University Belfast in their Open Learning Program. Register now for this course £110.00.
Acquia has been working closely with colleges to deliver Free student Drupal training on campus. But we're working to expand Drupal's reach into higher education by developing this 10 week course.
We offer many tools and services to help you succeed with Drupal, learn more and get started for free.

The luxurious five-star Elysium Hotel in Paphos, Cyprus, proved the perfect setting for Lindsay Mather and Damien Mason's wedding last June.
The couple met after an injury caused Damien to return to England from serving in the Parachute Regiment in Iraq. And it seems that finding true love was the ideal aid in Damien's speedy recovery.
The happy pair opted for an intimate wedding consisting of 16 of their closest family and friends.
A short service took place in the beautiful hotel courtyard, followed by tasty canapés and mini-cocktails.
The guests were also treated to traditional Cypriot food and were entertained by the couple's first dance in true Cypriot style.

Loans and venture capital often come in packages—that is, each may have several sources of funding, and one piece of financing may depend on another. Even government programs may require several sources. Under the federal 504 loan program, funds might come from a certified development company and one or more banks.
That means you should expect to come up with some cash yourself. A down payment or demonstration of willingness to risk some of your own capital may be required. You should also be sure you understand what's expected of you. For example, does a government program expect you to employ a certain number of workers within a certain time period? Finally, it's important to be patient. When more than one financing institution is involved, there's more paperwork, and each institution must give its approval.

Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)
From iPods to iPhones to MacBooks, Apple uses its "think different" approach to reframe computing, communication, and more.
Apple is undervalued relative to their peers. With a P/E of 11.3, they have huge upside. Compare the valuations with Google (P/E 22.07) or Microsoft (P/E 14.72) and it's clear that they've been oversold lately.

How many activists does it take to get Family Dollar Stores sold?
Shares in the Matthews-based retailer surged 12 percent this week after the company attracted the attention of yet another activist investor, billionaire Carl Icahn. Nelson Peltz's fund, already one of the biggest owners, urged Family Dollar to sell itself in 2011, though the company rejected his overture and no other bidders surfaced. Including John Paulson, there are now three influential investors in the stock, renewing the potential for a deal or management shakeup, Wedbush Inc. said.
"You've got three activist firms involved with pretty significant shareholdings," Joan Storms, a Los Angeles-based analyst at Wedbush, said in a phone interview. "This definitely increases the prospects of the company getting sold. The board is going to be under a lot more pressure to look at some of their options."
Given the languishing share price before Icahn stepped in, it's going to be tougher for Family Dollar to rebuff a deal this time around, according to MKM Partners. The challenge is still finding a suitor.
While Dollar General – the $7.7 billion company's closest competitor – hasn't shown an interest in merging, Jefferies Group sees it as a possibility that would result in about $1 billion of synergies.
Dan MacDonald, a spokesman for Tennessee-based Dollar General, said the company doesn't comment on speculation.
A representative for Family Dollar declined to comment beyond the retailer's June 6 press release, which said the company is "open to dialogue with all shareholders and welcomes input toward the shared goal of enhancing value." Family Dollar also said it is taking steps to increase efficiencies and improve financial performance. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Howard Levine has an 8.2 percent stake in the company, which his father founded.
Peltz's Trian Fund Management owns 7.4 percent of Family Dollar, and Paulson & Co. has a 5.7 percent passive stake, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Icahn Enterprises disclosed June 6 that it bought Family Dollar stock and options representing a 9.4 percent stake. The retailer's predicament is similar to his former targets such as Chesapeake Energy, Biogen Idec and Forest Laboratories, Icahn said in the filing. At those companies, he prompted changes to management.
He intends to hold talks with Family Dollar's management and board to discuss ways to create shareholder value.
"We think a sale of Family Dollar will figure prominently in the discussions," Patrick McKeever, an analyst at MKM, wrote in a report June 9. "Given Family Dollar's significant underperformance relative to its dollar store peers, its languishing stock price and the greater activist interest, the company is likely to have a tougher time defending itself ."
Last month, as Icahn was quietly amassing his position, Family Dollar's price-sales ratio dropped to 0.62, the lowest since 2010, as takeover speculation faded, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Family Dollar's 13 percent gain June 9 was the biggest one- day increase since Feb. 16, 2011, the day Peltz offered to buy the company for up to $60 a share. It rejected the bid and then agreed to let Edward Garden, chief investment officer of Trian, join the board. Garden is the only director who voted against the poison pill that Family Dollar adopted this week, which limits an investor from accumulating more than a 10 percent stake.
Representatives for Icahn, Trian and Paulson & Co., all based in New York, declined to comment.
MKM's McKeever estimates Family Dollar could be valued from $69 to $83 a share this time, based on the valuation KKR & Co. paid to take Dollar General private in 2007. That implies at least a 19 percent premium to Family Dollar's average price in the 20 trading days leading up to Icahn's filing.
The same question from 2011 remains: Who's going to buy it? Analysts said at the time that Peltz's offer could spur interest from Dollar General. Three years have passed and Dollar General never made a bid, at least not publicly.
A tie-up of the two retailers still makes sense, according to Daniel Binder, a New York-based analyst at Jefferies, who recommends investors buy both stocks because of the potential for a deal. Dollar General, valued at $19 billion yesterday, is more than twice the size of Family Dollar, generates more revenue per square foot and earns a larger profit from each dollar of sales, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Binder estimates $950 million to $1.2 billion of synergies. Even before accounting for those savings, the deal would boost Dollar General's earnings beginning this year, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Wal-Mart Stores, whose new smaller-format stores are outperforming its supercenters, is another possible suitor, said Michael Exstein, a New York-based analyst at Credit Suisse Group, in a February report. The world's largest retailer has the least overlap in store locations with Family Dollar, versus Dollar General and Dollar Tree, he said.
"Acquiring Family Dollar could be the most logical way for Wal-Mart to significantly jumpstart the small-store effort," Exstein wrote, adding that a deal would be "immediately accretive" if it paid $76 to $82 a share.
David Tovar, a spokesman for Bentonville, Arkansas-based Wal-Mart, declined to comment on whether the company is interested in buying Family Dollar.
Storms of Wedbush said she sees a "private non-strategic transaction" to be more likely than a sale to Dollar General or Wal-Mart. Dollar General is committed to what it sees as a less risky strategy of growing organically, while Family Dollar's revenue would be "a drop in the bucket" for Wal-Mart, she said. Family Dollar had $10.4 billion of sales in its latest fiscal year, 2 percent of what Wal-Mart generated, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Private-equity firms usually target retailers that need help slashing costs rather than boosting revenue, so they may not be interested in Family Dollar, Laura Champine, a New York- based analyst at Canaccord Genuity Corp., said in a phone interview.
Still, the chances of something happening have increased, said Champine, who estimates that in the absence of a deal Family Dollar shares may fall to about $50 apiece.
"We've seen this movie before with Trian having come in," she said. With the addition of Icahn, "the activists who are involved have a lot of firepower. Either there's a takeout – and we would think it would be a strategic buyer – or the company stays a stand-alone public company in which case it will take some time to earn the valuation it's seeing in the market today."

We need oysters, and not just to improve our moods.
The types we eat are among the most nutritious foods rich in protein, zinc, iron, calcium, vitamins A and B. Oysters provide a habitat to serve and feed other sea creatures; their reef structures stabilize shorelines; and each of the mollusks can filter 40 to 60 gallons of seawater a day.
Now theres new potential to learn more about oysters and ocean reef environments. For the past four years, Ashlee Lillis, a Ph.D. candidate in marine science at N.C. State, has literally dived into a little-explored aspect of oyster settlement: how the sounds of an undersea ocean reef can attract larval (baby) oysters to a permanent home.
To her knowledge, no one works with effects of sound on oyster larvae, said Lillis, the projects lead researcher. The other work being done is all in coral reefs and on fish. So no one in this country or hemisphere is looking at the influence of sound on marine invertebrates.
She said her team found an increased settlement rate in both the laboratory and the wild when the larvae were exposed to reef sounds. Determining precisely how the noise affects the baby oysters could lead to strategies for establishing new oyster beds, she said, as well as for monitoring the health of the undersea reefs.
One of the things were interested in is, what is a healthy soundscape versus an unhealthy soundscape, and then, does that matter? she said.
The oyster crawl
Oyster larvae are so small that a million can fit in a human hand. So they cant swim across or against currents, but they can move up and down within columns of water. As they mature, they grow a foot that helps them feel for the ocean floor terrain.
One of the things theyll do is crawl around, and if the texture is appropriate, that might be where theyll attach, Lillis said. They often settle on something hard, like other oyster shells.
Finding the right landing spot is difficult for the little critters.
Oysters and other animals that need to attach to a hard substrate or hard bottom have a particular challenge in that way because these habitats, such as oyster reefs, or in tropical systems coral reefs, are not widespread, she said. The larvae are potentially transported far from where they were hatched, and across large areas that are just sand or mud without appropriate settlement structure.
Because the suitable areas in which these organisms need to settle are patchily distributed, but they disperse over many kilometers of unsuitable habitat, they have adaptations to help increase their chances of encounter with adult habitat. Responding to sounds associated with adult habitat might be one of them as suggested by my study and larvae are also known to use other cues such as turbulence, chemicals exuded by adults, and water properties to give them information about the environment as they are transported around by the currents.
Testing the theory
The sounds of an undersea ocean reef are loud, like a busy city. Lillis hypothesized that if this environment is noisy enough to be heard by scuba divers and snorkelers, there might be enough vibration to affect the larvae even though oysters dont have ears and cant hear sound, per se.
With help from her adviser David Eggleston, professor of marine sciences, and N.C. State geophysicist Del Bohnenstiehl, she made underwater sound recordings of the louder oyster reefs and the quiet open seafloor.
We use whats called a hydrophone, which is an underwater microphone, Lillis said. Its attached to an acoustic recorder and then can be anything from a digital hand-held recorder that journalists may use. There are some more sophisticated long-term recorders that will take recordings at scheduled times, so we can leave those out a little bit longer.
So we deploy these usually when scuba diving and (attach) them to the seafloor. Weve also had some drifting hydrophone studies, which are very interesting, to see how the sound changes as the recorder moves through the environment. There are lots of ways to do it, but the basic technology is a hydrophone and a recorder.
Then they tested these oysters in the laboratory and in the wild to determine whether settlement rates increased when they were exposed to reef sounds versus those from farther out. They found the larval oysters preferred settling in substrates with the reef sounds.
Learning and educating
Growing interest in Lillis research is reflected in grants she has received. There were none at first, she said, but then we had several small awards to me early on from the National Shellfish Reef Association. Also, the American Academy of Underwater Scientists gave me a small grant for the pilot work.
Then once we had some good data, we received a larger National Science Foundation grant. Thats what were using now to continue for the next couple years to do some extensions of what I did for my Ph.D.
Many questions remain. Besides determining whats a healthy soundscape and whats not, its not known precisely which sounds oyster larvae are attracted to, or whether human noise (such as from boat engines) affects oyster reefs.
Meanwhile, Lillis works to educate the public outside of the science community via a cartoon website that she developed with an illustrator: http://bit.ly/1oJsBDi. Its an attempt to do some public outreach and explain some of these concepts in a simpler way, she said.

HoopsHype Omri Casspi rumors
John Reid: No confirmation yet on Pelicans plan to release Omri Casspi, reported first by ESPN's Marc Stein. Twitter @JohnReid64
The Houston Rockets' long anticipated trade of Omer Asik to New Orleans has expanded to become a three-team trade involving Washington and Trevor Ariza, according to sources close to the process. Sources told ESPN.com that the Rockets and Pelicans have agreed to turn their previously agreed deal headlined by Asik into a three-team swap that folds in the agreement Houston struck Saturday to sign Ariza, thus creating a valuable trade exception for Washington. The trade, sources say, calls for the Pelicans to receive Asik, Rockets swingman Omri Casspi and $1.5 million in cash from Houston. ESPN.com
David 'Dubi' Pick: Just asked James Harden for comment on Omri Casspi trade. "Traded? To where? (NOP) -- Wow". Twitter @IAmDPick
David Aldridge: Wizards have engaged Rockets and Pelicans in three-team deal to facilitate Trevor Ariza going to the Rockets and Omer Asik going to NO. Twitter @daldridgetnt
David Aldridge: Wizards will take non-guaranteed contract of Melvin Ely from NO & get $8.5M TPE for Ariza, who will do sign and trade to go to Houston. Twitter @daldridgetnt
David Aldridge: Pelicans will get Asik, Omri Casspi & 1.5M from Houston. Rockets get Ariza from Wizards, Alonzo Gee and 2015 protected first from Pelicans. Twitter @daldridgetnt
Houston Rockets forward Omri Casspi has invited his entire team to join him in Israel this summer. Casspi told FOX 26 Sports center Dwight Howard, guards James Harden and Pat Beverley and forwards Chandler Parsons and Francisco Garcia have all expressed interest in working out with him in Israel. "It would be phenomenal," Casspi said. "The country is going to go crazy." FOX 26 Sports
Casspi said he told his teammates: "Come get a different feel, be in Israel a little bit. Come see my country where I'm from. Kind of get better bonding as a team." And while no dates have been set yet, Casspi said a number of his Rockets teammates want to make the trip. "Dwight is definitely interested," Casspi said. "Chandler said he's interested. James said he's interested, Cisco. Me and Cisco are very close friends. Pat Beverley is going to come. So it's going to be fun." FOX 26 Sports
"I mean I was pretty shocked," Casspi told USA TODAY Sports. "He's been the owner of that team for many years, and in 2014 you still have racism. It's just sad. To me, it's sad. Having dealt with anti-Semitism as a Jew, and with Jewish history and now in the United States (being) probably the most free country in the world. It's just sad. I feel bad for him. I don't think he'll be an NBA owner anymore. I don't think the players would like to play for him." USA Today Sports
Houston Rockets forward Omri Casspi has left CAA Sports. It was not known whether he had signed with a new agency as of last week. Sports Business Daily
Mark Berman: Omri Casspi served 3years Nthe Israeli army "When you're 19u can B fighting4 your life, fighting 4your country.U've got2protect your country. It's sad. The people of Israel want peace. We've been fighting 4ever. Hopefully we're gonna 2B able 2find peace some day somehow" Twitter @MarkBermanFox26
Mark Berman: Omri Casspi says Pres.Obama asked him 2come back:"He invited me 2come back 2the White House in the summer to play some basketball together" Twitter @MarkBermanFox26
As he took care of a few last preparations before Thursday's trip to meet the president at a White House reception, Rockets forward Omri Casspi admitted to some building nerves. That did not stop him from imagining the game of basketball with President Obama that will not be part of the itinerary. "I wish we had some time to play, too," Casspi said. "It could have been fun." Casspi, however, said if they could play, he knew he would not have blocked an Obama shot. "I don't want any Israel-United States drama, more drama," Casspi said. "Let him shoot. Let him score. Let him feel good. We need that support." Houston Chronicle
Rockets Forward Omri Casspi is leaving CAA's Steven Heumann to hire Dan Fegan as new agent, Sportando has learned. Fegan, President of Relativity Sports Group also reps Casspi's teammates Dwight Howard and Chandler Parsons. CEO and agent at RSG Happy Walters told Sportando, "Omri told us he wants to sign with us, but hasn't actually signed yet. We are excited to work with him. Casspi is having a good season and we will do some good things with him off the court." Sportando
Mark Berman: Rockets Omri Casspi honored to be invited to the White House for Hanukkah ceremony Dec.5: "It's all over the news in Israel & I'm so excited" Twitter @MarkBermanFox26
Jonathan Feigen: Omri Casspi will play with strained left knee ligament, but still struggling with it. Twitter @Jonathan_Feigen
There was no malicious intent here — Dirk Nowitzki was going for the ball and the spectacular chase-down block. But instead he smacked Omri Casspi upside the head while the Rockets forward was going for a dunk. The referees reviewed it and rightfully called it a flagrant two, then ejected Nowitzki from Monday night's preseason game. You can bet Nowitzki will get a fine for that in the coming days. The league frowns on smacking guys upside the head ala Deacon Jones. NBCSports.com
Jonathan Feigen: Rockets also renounced rights to Francisco Garcia and Earl Boykins. Will sign Garcia, Williams and Casspi in coming days. Twitter @Jonathan_Feigen

Woodland West
Woodland West has been a vision for the owners for 20 years and is now a reality. There are many things to experience with multiple facilities and the splendour of Kananaskis wilderness on our border. Let us know what you are trying to accomplish for your particular event and we will create a solution for you. The "Woodland West" name comes from grand parents that operated a lodge and a hunting / fishing camp in New Brunswick - called the Woodland Lodge.
The Owners
Margit McNaughton is passionate about many things but her main activity right now is teaching her brand of Yoga to 250 students in Millarville, Turner Valley and Priddis. An outdoor education and primary school teacher by education, her creativity and personality combines to make many things happen with Woodland West's ever expanding network of friends and partners.
Drew McNaughton has spent his career in information technology, networking and consulting with Nortel, Imperial Oil, Axia Netmedia and other businesses. A love of the outdoors combines with experience building and growing many different teams in diverse organizations.
A systems design engineer from Waterloo by education, he has worked as an auditor, project manager,executive, board chair / member, CIO/CTO and as a consultant.
Together they and their three boys have lived in Ontario, Calgary, Texas and Paris. Their passions have combined to develop Woodland West. We hope you have a chance to visit !
The Lodge was the orginal home on the property. This space is being converted into a large open space natural timber frame with breakout rooms throughout to accomodate your offsite strategic session or team building event. Accomodates 15-20 people on a day use basis.
Fireside Room
In the fireside room you have a large 1200 sq foot multi-purpose meeting room that is suitable for larger corporate groups, training sessions, musical events, family reunions or for weddings. Accomodates 75-100 people depending on the table setup. An adjoining 800 sq foot kitchen, outside deck and entrance area allow for breakout space and services.
The little cabin in the spruce woods is a real gem. This is a very peaceful place, next to historic John Ware creek. Suitable for couples looking for a weekend away from the city, families that want to camp out for the weekend or horse trail riding groups that want a base camp before they ride onto the trails of Kananaskis. Artists find this space particularly attractive for getting creative and enjoying some space for their work.
In an aspen forest on a hill at the edge of Kananaskis country, this fun place awaits the kid in you for your sleep over in the trees. In the future, a sky walk will connect to other "rooms". Ideal for writers, artists or just folks that want to experience something a little different and secluded.
Thanks to the Pathways Community Organization there is an authentic native Tipi on the property.
Pond Area
The pond is a large body of water suitable for swimming and floating around in a canoe. An island golf green is in progress. A great space to hang out around, wack some golf balls, have a campfire or paddle around the pond.

Honestly, though, I don't take full credit for it. I wasn't the one to approach her, after all. But still exciting that maybe, if it suits her, she may be yet another person helped by all the tools here.
How did it come about?
I have a notebook I take to the gym every day. In it I write down the relevant information - how many minutes on the cardio, which cardio, how many calories and miles the machine says, which weight machines I've done and the weights and numbers of reps and how many crunches and obliques I've done.
Yes, I'm obsessive like that sometimes.
This evening as I stepped off the elliptical, another woman approached me who had been on one near me. She also had a little notebook. She asked me if I keep track of all my workouts that way and I explained that I write them down and then track them and what I eat here on SparkPeople.
She'd had a similar experience to mine with the high high pressure Personal Trainer sales pitch, but knew she couldn't afford it. So she was looking for somewhere that could give her some help figuring out what things to do and let her track them.
I wrote the website down for her - and sincerely hope she finds her way around.
Silly me didn't think to put my username. So I have no way of making sure the site doesn't overwhelm her with how many things it is possible to do.
Here's hoping. (Or hoping I see her during a future visit if she has more questions.)
So my status today referred to something I'd just learned the other day - cottage cheese, that wondrous way to boost protein, is also a "wondrous" way to boost sodium intake.
See, I knew I was getting a lot of excess sodium out of my lunches. I eat packaged meals. It's pretty much a given that most of them have somewhere in the 600-1000 mg range of sodium. BUT, that's less than half the daily allowed amount. It wasn't making sense that I was just blazing past - given that the only thing I've actually added salt to is scrambled eggs and that a tiny sprinkle (dash).
Until just these last couple of days, I did not know how or where to see how much sodium each food I tracked during a day had other than going to the nutritional info one by one. Rather time-consuming, so I didn't bother - and just sighed when day after day I was bouncing around way over the maximum recommended amount.
Then I discovered one of the reports is a completely nutritional review and shows the sodium column (since I have it set to track). And that's where I'm suddenly learning about higher sodium quantities in things I wouldn't even have considered a problem.
Number one (and the big thing on my status) is cottage cheese. I love cottage cheese. I can eat it plain, though I prefer it mixed with a cup of fruit in juice (pineapple most often, but mixed fruit with pears and peaches is okay too). It's a great way to make sure I meat my desired 80g of protein. And I've always eaten 2%, so fat isn't an issue either. Turns out my 1 cup (8 oz) of cottage cheese is a whopping 880 mg of sodium.
As I say in my status, I knew that milk had a sodium content. I learned that a long time ago trying to figure out why dipping french fries in chocolate shakes tasted soooo good. I discovered there was a healthy amount of sodium in the shakes and in milk.
But milk (1% being what I prefer) has around 160 mg of sodium to about 130 calories. A Wendy's Frosty has 100 mg of sodium to about 170 calories. Cottage cheese? A whopping 880 mg to about 200 calories.
So tonight I bypassed the cottage cheese and went for some canned white albacore in water. Nice lean protein. With around 270 mg of sodium to 100 calories. Which pretty closely matches the cheeses I usually eat.
I'm grateful I don't normally have issues with sodium. My desire to control it a little better isn't because of a current health problem. It's to avoid a future one.
I don't, and never have, been a salter. I never reach for the salt shaker at a restaurant. In fact, while most people love french fries, I would only get them on very rare occasions ... when I had a salt craving. That usually only happened if I was drinking a LOT of water (10-12 or more glasses). I blamed milk for keeping me from craving salt much.
Now I'm having to really rethink things. Sure, packaged foods have quite a bit of salt. But even foods I don't automatically think of as salty have both natural sodium and, in cases such as cottage cheese, ADDED sodium. (I looked. It's on the ingredient list that they added salt.)
Ah, the sodium traps are well-laid. But now I know to watch for them.
It's a funny thing trying to come up with new goals for February that are realistic and achievable, but also a challenge. I looked through all the Fast Break Goals and found I could break them into categories:
1) I already do it, so there's not much challenge to it
2) I know that doing it now isn't feasible
3) I have no interest in it as a habit for me
4) It's not really applicable to me
This is not to say there aren't some great goals in there. It's just that in terms of planning some February goals, nothing jumps out of that list to say �Oh, yeah, lemme do this!�
I will do my usual weight goal. But I don't consider weight my real focus � it's a side effect of what I'm doing, and a good measure each month of the all-around effect of tracking food, drinking water, and working out. I'm also a little ahead of myself since my January goal was stably at or below 220 and I've been 215 today and yesterday.
I was thinking to aim for lower sodium, but was frustrated that the SP tracker doesn't show it as a column. I just discovered a report that shows me the sodium column. I'm a little shocked at where a big chunk is coming from and need to actually check the nutrition label since it's something I used the generic listing for � cottage cheese.
Beyond that, I've been feeling a bit stuck to come up with a goal. February having 29 days makes it tempting to have a set of 4 weekly goals and then leap day to combine them or review them or something. But what to do ...
After coming up short, I spent part of this afternoon searching around on the internet on the topic of goals. First I came across a George Harrison (yes, the Beatle) quote:
If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there.�
And then I came across this site / webpage and the initial introduction:
If I was as organized and as purposeful as I wished to be I would�
Now those really hit home. One thing I'm really lacking in, and have been for a long time, are dreams.
Certainly I have plenty of hazy ideas of what I want / need. I want to be healthy and fit, to be financially sound, to overcome my emotional baggage, to go back to school and change careers. But, similar to my goal weight, it's more of a nebulous and changeable target that is just to point me in the right direction. I don't know where I'm going any more than a settler pointing west and always aiming for the setting sun.
I do have dreams of a sort, maybe � I know what I'd like to do if I won the lotto and had a few million dollars. But I consider those daydreams, not the kind of dreams to build goals and priorities and a life toward.
No, this isn't mid-life crisis stuff. Even if I never create dreams, I do constantly work toward improving my condition, toward better survival. I am an optimistic realist � I see it how it is and I think it can be better if I work for it.
So the next step in my adventure, I think, is deciding to go somewhere rather than just aiming myself in what is generally the right direction.
I need to flesh out my health and fitness goals a bit more. Most notably, I need to put the results I want into positive terms. Right now most of my idea is that I want balance, so I don't want to be the gym-goer who spends 1-2 hours on cardio daily, grunts through extreme weights to tone. I don't want to eat tofu and sprouts and reject sugar or bread or pasta. Those are all negatives to indicate what, in my mind, is going too far for me. I need to draw the positives.
In addition, I need to flesh out my dreams in other areas � career, relationships, community service (volunteering), creative writing, hobbies, and more.
I need to figure out what my big rocks actually are.
February Goals
1) Weight stably at or below 210
2) Keep sodium consumption below 3200mg
3) Each week decide on one long-term goal each for health and fitness
4) On the last day, use the long-term goals to create at least two March goals
5) Pick one other life category and work out a goal to work toward
I know. There's still two more days. But this month has just blazed past. I've kept up here, but actually gotten busy enough that I'm behind on a couple of other things such as my writing. Need to find a little better balance for certain things that take more of my time.
I don't have to wait for the 31st to review my January Goals.
1) Weight stably at or below 220. -- DONE
Hit a new low this morning of 215 and my trend point is around 218.
2) Push monthly average protein to 80g -- DONE
Having set an actual goal number, there were a couple days I had to really maneuver to hit it, but I was 80+ every single day and 100+ a couple days. I don't think I could go low enough to not average 80g now.
3) Keep up my streak of logging in daily -- DONE
Still logging in every single day, even if the last couple have had me busy enough I've been late on and late responding to things.
Time to think on what I want my February 2012 goals to be. It will be an interesting month with 4 full weeks and an extra day, and it might be fun to do some sort of weekly goal if I can come up with an idea quick enough. Hmmm.
I included a nice long hot shower at the gym at the end of my workout. MMMMMMMM, good.
I'm seriously feeling more fit, too. Like I can do a squat now without my knees aching. Might have to try a few lunges just to see.
I may have to break up my weight training though. Saw that SparkPeople doesn't recommend more than 60 minutes, and I'm not sure how long mine is - but I spend 2.5 hours at the gym those days between the cardio, the weights, more cardio, crunches and stretches, and changing.
Got my weekly grocery shopping done today, so tomorrow is mostly laundry and cleaning my room plus gym time for cardio.
Last few days I've just been feeling like life is good. I can look up at night at my favorite star, look around during the day and enjoy the hills in three directions, delight in puffs of clouds. And today was warm enough to pull off the coat and walk around with short sleeves midday.

Cowboys' offseason grade: B+
July, 11, 2012
By Tim MacMahon | ESPNDallas.com
Scouts Inc.'s Matt Williamson is playing the professor role, grading each NFL team's offseason roster renovations.
Williamson gave the Cowboys a B-plus in the ESPN Insider piece. A sample of his analysis:
Williamson gave the Cowboys a B-plus in the ESPN Insider piece. A sample of his analysis:
The Cowboys' cornerbacks look to be incredibly improved with the addition of Brandon Carr in free agency followed by an aggressive draft day trade up to secure Morris Claiborne, a potential shutdown corner, at No. 6. Teaming those two with Mike Jenkins and Orlando Scandrick should allow Rob Ryan to finally trust his cover men, resulting in much more aggressive defensive play calling from a pressure and blitz standpoint. There is a chance Jenkins will be traded before the season, but the Cowboys still could use a lot of nickel personnel (even on early downs) considering the wealth they now have at corner.
Staying on the defensive side of the ball, Dallas also looks stacked at inside linebacker. Sean Lee is already a great player, and Bruce Carter, a great talent, could be due for a breakout season. Plus, the Cowboys signed Lee's college teammate Dan Connor as insurance. Connor is a very solid two-down player who excels versus the run.
The Cowboys' defense clearly has improved, and the offense remains explosive and has plenty of high-end talent. Don't overlook the addition of Kyle Orton as Tony Romo's backup, giving the Cowboys one of the best backup quarterbacks in the league. But there are two considerable holes on this side of the ball. With Laurent Robinson leaving for Jacksonville and Coale's injury in minicamp, Dallas has very little at wide receiver behind Miles Austin and Dez Bryant. That limits the personnel packages the Cowboys can feature. Also, although the Cowboys brought in interior offensive linemen in free agency, I don't think any of those guys is an upgrade or the answer -- and Mackenzy Bernadeau recently had hip surgery. However, new offensive coordinator Bill Callahan is one of the top offensive line minds in the NFL.

Air Products To Feature Epoxy Curing Agents At ECS 2013
LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa., March 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Air Products (NYSE: APD) will feature a number of waterborne and solvent-free epoxy curing agents as well as its new isocyanate curing agents, or polycarbamide technology, for use in a variety of coatings applications at next week's European Coatings Show (ECS) in Nuremberg, Germany.
Air Products' Amicure® IC-321 curative is an amine curing agent specifically engineered for use with standard HDI trimer isocyanates, resulting in polycarbamide or aliphatic polyurea coatings designed for industrial, commercial and institutional flooring systems. It is designed to deliver sufficient working time for squeegee application while providing very rapid return to service. Performance features include low-temperature cure, good abrasion/chemical resistance, low color, excellent UV durability and surface appearance and zero VOC. Amicure IC-321 curative allows for rapid hardness development with an extended working time.
At ECS, Air Products will also highlight its Total Reactive Technology with Ancamine ® 2712M and 2739, which represents the next generation of epoxy curing agents. They are modified polyamine curing agents that eliminate the need for a plasticizer without performance compromise. They are designed for use in polymer-based flooring systems.
Air Products will also feature its Anquamine® 721 and 735 waterborne epoxy curing agents, which are designed for use in waterborne epoxy coatings where cost-effectiveness and high performance are key. Anquamine 721 and 735 curing agents offer cost-in-use approaching conventional solvent formulations with low to zero VOC."These game changing epoxy curing agents provide innovative solutions for the coatings industry," said Cees Bartels, Europe epoxy marketing manager for Air Products. "Air Products continues to deliver the cost and performance solutions our customers demand with environmentally beneficial and sustainable new products." Additionally, Air Products will feature its Ancamine® 2719 and 2734 curing agents, which offer chemical resistance and fast-return-to-service for industrial maintenance and protective coatings. The company is also introducing its Ancamide® 2652 curing agent for marine coatings that require corrosion resistance and a long overcoat window associated with a fast dry/cure.

As she shifted from one foot to the other I could almost see to bottom of her butt cheek. I felt myself getting hard. She finally hung up and noticed me as she turned. She flashed me a smile as she stepped away assuming I needed the phone. I smiled back and figured, go for broke. If I hesitated too long she might get weirded out. I took a half step towards her and smiled saying, "hi I'm James". (Yeah I know Casanova I'm not but if she really is who I think she is, she's not looking for ...

December 19, 2014
SPRINGFIELD (AP) -- Illinois lawmakers are considering pieces of legislation to fill a few blanks in the state's sex offender laws.
According to a Springfield newspaper one measure would require convicted sex offenders who lose their jobs to update their registration with state police.
Another would ban sex offenders from attending county fairs but would still be allowed to attend the state fair. This proposal regarding county fairs came from officials in Whiteside County.
Both measures were introduced after lawmakers said they encountered holes in the current statutes.
For example, in one case charges against a sex offender were dismissed in McLean County because of ambiguity over when people had to report a change in employment.
