What is "Indie" music, you ask? It's any type of music that is independent of any major record labels. Indie artists are free to create music that represents themselves, rather than commercial interest or corporate profit.
This does not mean that Indie musicians are doomed to live a life of ramen noodles for breakfast and couch camping. There are many musicians who have gained notoriety and financial success through their music, and still remain independent today. Artists such as The Killers, Muse, Iron & Wine and many others are still considered Indie even after having achieved commercial success.
How do Indie musicians remain independent and still become successful you ask? Thanks to Independent recording labels, the internet, and good old fashioned home recording studios, Indie artists are able to produce high quality original music to share with the masses, readily and easily.
Indie music is not a genre, but a practice. To be Indie is not to wear skinny jeans and converse shoes, but to express one's self through music solely for the purpose of making music.

Head Coach Lute Olson
Press Conference - 3/26/01 - Pre-Final Four
"We thrilled to have the opportunity to go to Minneapolis. It has been a primary goal all along of this team to make it there, and it has taken a lot of hard work and focus and concentration to have this happen. It looks like anyone there has an outstanding chance to win the whole thing, and we would certainly would like to put ourselves in that group, as well.
"The big thing, I think with our team, has been the balance. That is what has gotten us this far. The perfect example is last week, Gilbert (Arenas) had kind of a down game on Friday and then lit the place up on Sunday. Loren (Woods) had about 30 minutes that he would like to forget, but then he just dominated the last 10 minutes of the game on Sunday.
"Guys just seemed to be able to step it up when we need them the most. It is not a case of saying, if you stop this guy, you can beat them. We put the emphasis in this program on not having just one go-to guy. Our go-to guy is the guy who is open, and that is always the thing that we have look at in this program.
"The guys are playing great defense. If you look at the field goal percentages that we have allowed in the past couple of months, it is an amazing stat. Shooting percentages have been coming up because we have better ball movement and I think better shot selection. We have also been very good at the line when we need to be.
On Loren Woods' play:
"I think that Loren can get after it like he did in the last 10 minutes all of the time. I am hopeful that we have gotten over that hurdle, and hopefully, he has had the opportunity to see that on all phases of the game, shot blocks, rebounds and making himself available in the post.
"One thing that you can always count on when Gene (Edgerson) is in the game is that he is going to battle. He is always going to go after the ball, and he is going to defend. He wants to win, and he is not into only playing 10 or seven or 18 minutes. If I put him in, even if he is only in for two minutes, it is never coming out sulking. It is always a positive thing having him in there.
"When one thinks about how difficult it is to get there (the Final Four), and how so few coaches have had the opportunity to be in the Final Four, you thank your lucky stars that you have had the chance to get there. This will be our third on in the last eight years. I sometimes think of some of the guys who are outstanding coaches who never had the opportunity Marv Harshman and Ralph Miller, for example in our league. I am just fortunate to be in the situation I have been in.
On Jason Gardner and Gilbert Arenas:
"They have done a great job for us, and they are still only sophomores. It is sometimes hard for me to believe how mature and how much composure they have on the court in pressure situations. Another thing, when you look at in the Final Four, Jason Williams at Duke is a sophomore and Blake at Maryland is a sophomore. It gives you an idea that with point guards, you don't have to wait until they are juniors or seniors to perform.
On Michigan State:
"The biggest single problem when you play Michigan State is the job they do on the boards. They have almost 200 more offensive rebounds than their opponents. They do a great job on the defensive end, but that really comes down to shooting percentages. They are the best offensive rebounding team in the country. Illinois is a very good offensive rebounding team, but Michigan State is the best out there. They send four guys out there at the time, and you can't not have someone do their job and block out."

Feel Like Making Love
Strollin' in the park, watching winter turn to spring
Walkin' in the dark, seein' lovers do their thing
That's the time I feel like making love to you
That's the time I feel like making dreams come true
Oh baby
When you talk to me, when you're moanin' sweet and low
When you touch my hand and my feelin's start to show
In a restaurant, holdin' hands by candlelight
When I'm touchin' you
wanting you with all my might
Strollin' in the park , walking in the dark
That's the time I feel like making love
When you talk to me , when you're touching me
Making my dreams come true
Strollin' in the park , walking in the dark
That's the time I feel like making love
When I talk to you , when I'm touching you
Making my dreams come true

Full text not available from this repository.

Programmed cell death (apoptosis) is an evolutionarily conserved process used by multicellular organisms to eliminate cells that are not needed or are potentially detrimental to the organism. Members of the Bcl-2 family of mammalian proteins are intimately involved in the regulation of apoptosis, but, their precise mechanism of action remains unresolved. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the Bcl-2 homologue CED-9 prevents cell death by antagonizing the death-promoting activities of CED-3, a member of the Caspase family of death proteases, and of CED-4, a protein with no known mammalian homologue. Here we show that CED-9 interacts physically with CED-4. Mutations that reduce or eliminate CED-9 activity also disrupt its ability to bind CED-4, suggesting that this interaction is important for CED-9 function. Thus, CED-9 might control C. elegans cell death by binding to and regulating CED-4 activity. We propose that mammalian Bcl-2 family members might control apoptosis in a similar way through interaction and regulation of CED-4 homologues or analogues.

Reviews for Sweet Macaroni Salad
"This is a superb macaroni salad recipe. it is the one I make all the time now that I have discovered it. My family loves it."
"Made this using the large elbow macaroni noodles for a party and it was amazing, everyone loved it, they all wanted the recipe and it was so easy to make, I let it set in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving, cant wait to make this again. Definitely a party pleaser."
"This has been my "go to" macaroni salad since this recipe first appeared in Taste of Home, several years ago. I, too, omit the 1 cup of sugar, which makes the salad too sweet for my family's taste. I also add 1/3 cup each of diced green, red and yellow sweet peppers (rather than just green pepper) and 1/4 cup chopped parsley for added color. This recipe is always a favorite at parties, picnics and BBQ's!"
"One of our favorites..make it all the time!!!"
"This is very good. I leave out the 1 cup of sugar since the sweetened condensed milk is in it. I also have never added green pepper to it. Be sure to refrigerate overnight, the sauce needs to soak in a little."

I'm supposed to read the first 9 bytes which should include the protocol and incoming size of the data packet.
When the completion port returns with the 9 bytes which is better to do? (performance / good practice or aesthetics wise)
- Post another overlapped read on the socket, this time with the size of the packet so it receives it in the next completion?
- Read inside the routine the whole packet using blocking sockets and then post another overlapped with recv with 9 bytes?
- Read in chunks (decide the size) say - 4096 and have a counter to keep reading each overlapped completion until the data was read (say it would complete 12 times until all the packet was read).

By Joe Higgins and Chris DeSimone, Inside Tucson Business | 0 comments
Has Tucson's Democratic machine overplayed it's hand? Are moderate Democrats and the growing number of independents ready to make some changes in this year's Tucson City Council races or next year's Pima County Board of Supervisors races?
Will the business community show up with their dollars and their support? Have we hit the tipping point?
Here are the facts:
1. Rio Nuevo gets new board to wrest control away from the Tucson City Council.
State Attorney General and FBI investigations have been launched find out what happened to $230 million of taxpayers money spent on downtown redevelopment with little to show.
2. Buses and light rail priorities.
The city council panics over 10-cent low-income bus fare while at the same time prepares to build a $196 million streetcar system that will cost millions per year to run and will need dense development in old neighborhoods to sustain any ridership. To build a much-needed student housing project in the hole that was an old YMCA at Fourth Avenue and Sixth Street, the developer pays $15,000 and monthly payments of $2,500 for 15 years to the surrounding neighborhood in order to get the council's approval. How much longer will developers pay to play to invest with uncertainty or skip by Tucson?
3. The City Council refers a half cent sales tax to voters only to be defeated by 20 percent margin.
Voters have lost confidence in city government and the Mayor and Council. Did the council get the message that it's time to tighten belts and reprioritize? Tucson moved $13 million in federal money for pothole repairs to build a bridge over the Santa Cruz River to qualify for other federal money for the four-mile streetcar. Priorities?
4. University of Arizona versus University Medical Center.
The UA makes a public power play to bring UMC back under its control. The hospital was spun off in 1984 to keep if from folding. Today, UMC generates $90 million per year to support future nurses, doctors and pharmacists. Follow the money. And yet just two weeks ago, Inside Tucson Business' 2011 List of Largest Employers showed the UA surpassing Raytheon Missile Systems for No 1. This despite state budget cuts, tuition increases and a hiring freeze.
5. Where are the jobs?
A 300-acre solar farm in an old cotton field near Marana gets caught in the political buzzsaw of neighbors and paybacks for old political scores. Supposedly, Tucson is a top 25 Solar City in the United States yet we continue to delay and politicize an investment in green technology? County Supervisor Sharon Bronson and her colleagues are delaying the project by Fotowatio Renewable Ventures, the Spanish firm that is one of the world's leading solar power operators, may look to go elsewhere. We already know about the supervisors trying to block the Rosemont Copper mine. And now a solar farm?
6. U.S. Rep. Raúl Grijalva.
The five-term congressman's call for a boycott of Arizona over passage of SB 1070 almost cost him re-election from previously unknown Ruth McClung. Are voters tired of the rhetoric?
7. Back-room deals.
The city council votes on a land deal to sell downtown redevelopment property in Rio Nuevo to the Gadsden Company for $250,000, which resells the property to a low-income housing project for $1.43 million, according to the Arizona Daily Star's Rob O'Dell (March 22). Councilwoman Shirley Scott joined the majority after she received a letter from Gadsden's attorney, Larry Hecker, detailing the $1.5 million Gadsden said it put into the project. "I think that speaks well for this group," Scott said, adding Gadsden is not asking for any special treatment. And, it just so happens, Hecker is Scott's campaign chair for re-election. He was also campaign chair for City Councilwoman Nina Trasoff's unsuccessful 2009 campaign and Bronson's 2008 campaign. When will Tucsonans say enough is enough?
8. Marana wastewater fight.
Pima County's heavy-handed clout using its wastewater management system as awakened Marana and now the town's voters may be ready to change find a supervisor in 2012 that is more in turned with their goal of becoming a world-class municipality.
9. Pima County property taxes keep going up.
The Pima County Assessor's office actually increased the values of most of the commercial property in the county, despite three years of the most depressed real estate market in generations. Now, the supervisors are looking at raising the county's property tax rate by 17 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. Pima County government had 8,396 full-time equivalent employees in 2008 and has 8,132 today. Take out a loss of 450 positions through a contract shift at Pima Health Systems and the number of Pima County employees actually grew.
10. Democratic party primary endorsements.
Typically, political parties don't weigh picking favorites until after their electorates choose candidates in the primary election. But Pima County's Democratic Party already has picked its slate for the Tucson City Council and the primary isn't until Aug. 30. The endorsements brought a sharp letter of rebuke from six Democratic state representatives, including Tucsonans Sally Ann Gonzales, Matt Heinz, Bruce Wheeler and Macario Saldate.
11. All mail elections.
Under the guise of trying to "save money," the Tucson council changed the rules of the election game just as its Democratic incumbents face tough re-election campaigns. An investigation is underway over irregularly marked mail-in ballots in South Tucson and now mail ballots have gone missing in this month's Sahuarita council elections. The "save money" argument is a smokescreen.
12. Tourism in the toilet.
As reported in Inside Tucson Business, passenger traffic at Tucson International Airport for March, normally the busiest month of the year, is at 16-year lows. Tucson didn't have Major League Baseball Spring Training this year for the first time since 1947. Now the economy is beginning to feel the negative impact of mismanagement of the tourist assets that have been taken for granted. Last month Travel+Leisure called Tucson one of their top 25 "most under-rated cities in the world" – not just the United States, the world. That's not a good thing for the Metropolitan Tucson Convention and Visitors Bureau whose job it is to get the word out.
13. Arizona is projected to add jobs, but not Tucson.
State economic development officials are projecting Arizona will add more than 17,300 jobs in the next year but the Tucson region won't see any of them. To accentuate the point, tourism is expected to grow by 3.1 percent statewide but will drop 0.2 percent in the Tucson region.
14. More low-wage jobs.
When Intel announced earlier this year it was spending $5 billion to expand and build in Chandler, it included a projection of 1,000 high-paid new jobs. Within days of that announcement Tucson, landed its expansion that will be bring us another 400 call center jobs. This on top of the announcement that Tucson-based Raytheon Missile division decided to build its newest plant in Huntsville, Ala., not here.
15. Mexican-American Studies.
A student demonstration prevented the Tucson Unified School District governing board meeting from taking place April 26 because the board was due to vote on moving the program to an elective instead of allowing it as a substitute for the core subject of American History.
Moving Mexican-American Studies to an elective would put it in line with African American Studies, Native American Studies and Pan Asian Studies as well as art, music and some foreign languages among other important options students can choose. Mexican-American Studies serves 5 percent of the district's approximately 53,000 students, yet it has taken an inordinate amount of the attention.
Meanwhile, there are issues with procurement irregularities, school closures and students' low achievement scores on standardized tests.
Tucson is not a shiny liberal city on the hill. The so-called political progressives like to look up to cities like San Francisco or Portland, Ore. They admire the environmental commitment of Boulder, Colo., and dream of being the Berkeley, Calif., of the desert.
But Tucson's city core crumbles while suburbs flourish. This region's vision and planning is taking place in Marana, Oro Valley and Sahuarita.
Lately, people including Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" have had some fun over Democratic leaders' idea of Southern Arizona becoming a 51st state. It's just a diversionary tactic from Democrats trying to gloss over the facts we've presented here.
Tucson may be the butt of jokes but those who are struggling to run businesses and earn a living here aren't laughing. It's time for a change starting with this year's city elections.

But Arizonans are learning that it takes more than blazing rays to make Phoenix the "solar capital of the world."
The Sonoran Desert is among the most efficient spots on Earth for solar power plants and rooftop solar arrays. State requirements for utilities to get 15 percent of their energy from clean sources by 2025 also would seem an opportunity for solar manufacturing.
But most solar panels, mirrors, frames and other equipment are made elsewhere. In case after case, the state has fallen short of the competition. At least 10 companies have looked at Arizona in the past two years but decided to move their factories and about 4,500 workers to other Western states.
Business experts say the state needs to use some of the tax credits and other tools used by those other states to diversify its housing-dependent economy and deliver the state high-paying manufacturing jobs.
Some business leaders and politicians have made it a mission to grow Arizona's solar industry, saying it could anchor a strong economy.
"Just because it's sunny doesn't mean we are going to get solar companies here," said Rep. Michele Reagan, a Scottsdale Republican who is co-sponsoring a renewable-energy manufacturing-incentive bill with Sen. Barbara Leff, R-Paradise Valley.
"We have not capitalized on any industry in the solar arena or renewable energy at all.
"If you're a company and you are trying to decide what state to move to, and some states are embracing you with open arms and you've got Arizona saying, 'We are not doing anything,' which one are you going to pick?"
Tough competition
In recent years, several states have offered financial incentives to the fledgling renewable-energy industry, helping to establish factories.
With the industry getting much more attention under President Barack Obama, and with nationwide calls to produce more clean power, the future of those factories is looking brighter.
The federal government's economic-stimulus package includes $50 billion in spending and $20 billion in tax provisions for alternative energy that should spur the industry even further.
With other manufacturing operations shedding their U.S. workforces, renewable-energy jobs are increasingly attractive.
Nevada, California, Colorado, Texas, Oregon, New Mexico and Tennessee all have successfully courted solar manufacturers to their states.
Oregon, for instance, offers a 50 percent tax credit to pay construction costs for renewable-energy equipment manufacturers. Development officials say it has helped them land seven international solar manufacturers in two years. Most of those companies had considered coming to Arizona.
In the Midwest, Ohio is offering low taxes and incentives such as job-creation tax credits.
And just next door to Arizona, New Mexico is looking to set itself apart.
When Gov. Bill Richardson formed the state's economic recruitment team in 2003, renewable energy was one of its primary targets.
The state landed Advent Solar Inc. after that company licensed technology from New Mexico's Sandia National Laboratories in 2003.
Advent opened a small manufacturing and research facility in Albuquerque that began production in 2005.
Then the state's economic development team successfully used $130 million in a variety of tax incentives to recruit Schott Solar from Germany to build a plant near Advent.
In December, the state announced that Signet Solar of California would build a manufacturing plant south of Albuquerque that could qualify for as much as $185 million in tax incentives.
Both Schott and Signet also had considered sites in Arizona.
New Mexico doesn't just sweeten the pot with tax benefits. It also provides reimbursement to companies for job training and helps foot the bill for infrastructure needs.
When Schott Solar announced last year it would build a plant in Albuquerque, it not only qualified for all the state's tax breaks, but the governor said he would ask the Legislature for an additional $12 million to pay for infrastructure. The city itself kicked in $1 million.
"When I was in Phoenix, we didn't consider New Mexico competition," said Jim Colson, a former economic-development official for New Mexico, Glendale and the Greater Phoenix Economic Council. "That has shifted. Now, New Mexico doesn't consider Phoenix competition."
How Arizona rates
That sun-soaked Arizona isn't leading the solar-manufacturing frontier perplexes some experts in the field.
The state is often one of the first places looked at by executives shopping for factory sites. But financial analyses usually keep Arizona off the short list when companies make their final decisions because the cost of doing business in other states is lower once incentives are factored in.
Arizona traditionally has shunned tax incentives and relied on its climate and population growth to drive industry.
Some oppose tax benefits for a few when they believe an overhaul of the tax code is needed to lower taxes on all businesses. When similar incentives were proposed last year during the final weeks of the legislative session, they didn't pass.
"Arizona should be more competitive than it is," said Colson, now president of site selection for Austin-based Angelou- Economics Inc.
With AngelouEconomics, he helps companies decide where to open new facilities, including solar companies trying to decide on U.S. locations.
"I've had several projects where Arizona was included in the mix, and it didn't stay there very long," he said. "It wasn't all because of the lack of incentives. The property-tax impacts were significant when comparing it to its neighbors."
The business property tax rate on a factory not in an enterprise zone is 2.95 percent in Arizona. Oregon has the next-highest rate in the West, at 1.52 percent. Rates are 1.13 percent in Nevada, 1.03 percent in New Mexico, 0.5 percent in California and 0.6 percent in Colorado, according to Scottsdale-based Incentives Advisors, which analyzed the effect incentives would have in Arizona.
However, some of those states have higher levies than Arizona for corporate income, unemployment or other taxes. Incentives Advisors concluded that the tax incentives proposed at the Legislature would make Arizona more competitive for solar-manufacturing factories.
Such incentives can help level the playing field.
When a state has a particular weakness, such as a high commercial property tax, tax credits and other incentives can be the final factor that drives a factory to that location, said Andy Mace, a principal with Cushman and Wakefield Consulting in Pennsylvania.
"It's not always the place with the most incentives that wins, it's the place with the total lowest cost of operating," Mace said. "Over 10 years, where will I spend the least on labor, land, energy and transportation?"
Arizona has strong selling points, such as its weather and a workforce with manufacturing skills. But factories require expensive buildings, lots of energy and hundreds of employees, making the economics much more important than, say, a corporate headquarters that simply needs office space for a few dozen employees.
"If you're comparing Portland, Albuquerque and Phoenix, I know I can get real estate, labor, transportation, they're all within one or two points of each other," Colson said. "Then I overlay the incentives on top of that. Albuquerque jumps up, Portland jumps up and Phoenix actually goes down.
"That's why the Greater Phoenix region is not winning these projects."
Arizona's odds
Economic development officials say the solar industry isn't likely to spread evenly over the country but grow around those cities established as hubs.
They say Arizona still has a narrowing chance at being one of those hubs.
"Right now, there are 11 companies looking to decide (on factory sites) this year," said Barry Broome, president of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council, a proponent of the incentive bill. "We may be in or out (of the industry) after two quarters."
Arizona has an available workforce, mostly because of continuing job losses in the semiconductor and construction industries.
The state not only represents a large market for solar devices but is next door to California and its large population. Transportation is on par or better than some of its competition.
The research taking place at Arizona State University, along with the recently upgraded solar-testing lab there that international companies use to certify their products, also are among its strengths.
But those pluses haven't added up to much yet.
Arizona hasn't had any major solar manufacturers move to the state. It boasts a few, small, homegrown companies and some German manufacturing companies that have opened small factories near Tucson.
Even the companies that have so far passed up Arizona for factories say the state is a potential home of solar manufacturing.
"I can't fathom why this isn't a hotbed of solar activity," said Peter Green, president and chief executive of Advent Solar in Albuquerque and a former executive with ON Semiconductor in Phoenix.
But Green said that building a solar-manufacturing industry in Arizona will be challenging.
He agreed, when asked, that even if the tax-incentives bill passes, the state lacks the strong political backing, the money for sweeteners such as infrastructure improvements, and the word-of-mouth industry buzz that help foster a solar industry.
"I think it is going to be a struggle," he said.

Other states eclipse Arizona's efforts to lure solar industry
People have asked me why we reprint Emerine's articles in their entirety here on our blog. My simple answer is that Steve speaks truth to power. His institutional knowledge of our region makes his opinion's especially pointed. In our world of 24 hour news cycles and spin induced smoke and mirrors, Steve sums up the issues presented to our community in about a clear as way possible. We are glad he has a platform to preach from, we hope to give him another pulpit with our blog.
This weeks article opinion is addressing the our local governments approach towards funding of our law enforcement agencies. FBI statistics show violent crime and murder decreasing all over the county. Locally we had a record breaking year in homicides. What's governments core function again?
While crime rises, local politicos look to spend money elsewhere
Published on Saturday, January 10, 2009
Only Tucson and Pima County would insist on doing more crazy things than a columnist could comment on 52 times in a year.
Republican Mayor Bob Walkup and Democratic Council members Regina Romero, Rodney Glassman, Karin Uhlich, Shirley Scott, Steve Leal and Nina Trasoff use every opportunity they get to profess their undying support for Tucson police.
The men and women in blue need that backing. Tucson just experienced 74 murders in 2008 – more than in any year in history.
But the mayor and council are about to cut three proposed police academy classes to only one, knowing that it won't produce enough new officers to replace those the department will lose through retirements and resignations.
Yet the mayor and council are also about to approve $7.6 million in bonds to build new solar panels on seven city buildings.
Why? Because they want some "free" federal money and solar power is a cool topic.
The federal government would pay part of the interest on the bonds, leaving the principal and up to 2 percent of the interest for the city to pay.
Think of when your supermarket cashier announced you'd saved more than $20 on your last grocery shopping trip. It may have cost you $80, but look what that plastic store card did for you!
Are you tempted to come back after lunch to double your savings or do you realize you can't afford to spend another $80?
Solar panels aren't groceries, but we're constantly bombarded by messages extolling the virtues of anything "green" or "sustainable."
Most products using those words cost more, but we're told that if we use them long enough, we'll eventually save money.
That's probably true. But it doesn't mean a family whose breadwinner has just been laid off should rush to buy a green gizmo before their savings account is exhausted.
Richard Elías, the Democratic chairman of the county Board of Supervisors, and his colleagues (Democrats Ramón Valadez and Sharon Bronson and Republicans Ann Day and Ray Carroll) also have problems.
They must also reduce their current budget and make more cuts or raise taxes in 2009-2010. They'll probably have to do both.
They've told Sheriff Clarence Dupnik they'll try not to cut his current budget if he agrees to not replace any deputies he loses between now and June 30.
You can see that the supervisors, like the council members, also favor law enforcement and oppose crime. Unless it costs money.
Solar panels aren't the supervisors' addiction. They're hooked on vacant land.
They've bought 159,000 acres of ranch land and acquired 127,280 acres of leased land in recent years, but it isn't enough. Nearly 12 percent of Pima County land is still privately owned. Until last year, it was 13 percent.
The supervisors are about to adopt their fifth draft habitat conservation plan for their Sonoran Desert Conservation project. They'll submit it to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for approval, then hold a bond election to raise more money for their addiction to dirt.
They plan to spend $324,000 a year from 2009 to 2011 and $568,000 for the 2011-2012 fiscal year to monitor and study their vacant land. The total cost for the next decade would be more than $40 million.
Despite a tight budget, they say they must ensure they own enough land and have enough rules in place to guarantee survival of their favorite critters.
Surely you've also been worried about the Huachuca water umbel, the lesser long-nosed bat, the Marana piranha, the southwestern willow flycatcher, the western yellow-billed cuckoo, the Gila chub and Mexican garter snake.
But neither you nor the supervisors have seen all of them or discussed their status with anyone.
I made up the third one on that list because I just might apply for a county grant of a couple of million bucks to keep writing about the Marana piranha.
Frankly, though, I'd really rather have a few more deputy sheriffs.

Happy new year, Sparkpeeps! I'm actually pretty excited about 2013. Maybe it's because things are going fairly well these days. It inspires optimism. I hope the new year has good things in store for all of us.
I recently took a short vacation, my first in quite a long time. My husband and I went to Wichita, KS, just after Christmas to visit his family. It was a quick trip, but we made the best of the time we had with family. It also marked the first time I purposefully had an active vacation.
We went to Las Vegas a few years ago, and there's so much to see there that we walked around all day, every day. I got a ton of walking in during that trip, but I wasn't yet on SparkPeople and I wasn't tracking anything or even thinking about exercising at that point. This time was much different.
Even packing for the trip was different. I first packed all of my running clothes and an empty water bottle, although I decided not to take my HRM or iPod to save a little space. But the running stuff was the very first thing I made sure was organized and packed.
We also looked up walking/biking trails in Wichita to see where people liked to run. My husband was never active when he lived there, so this was new to him, too. It was going to be an adventure!
We woke up the next morning and threw on some running clothes. Here's the thing...I apparently didn't quite think things through. I took my normal running clothes...and I live in San Diego. The weather in December is a bit different in San Diego than it is in Wichita.
So, it was DEFINITELY going to be an adventure for me! Or maybe inspiration to run faster?!
It worked out OK in the end. I wore a jacket to run, which I don't normally do. With the wind in our faces, it was miserably cold. My face was frozen in a grimace. My husband complained every step of the way. But then we turned around and with the wind at our backs, it was actually OK. I even took my jacket off - and received a number of wide-eyed stares from people driving by.
But it was a great way to see the city from a new perspective. I had seen this area before, driving in a car or stopping at a business and glancing around. But now we ran beside the buildings and my husband provided commentary and history along the way. I had a great time and it makes me want to explore other cities this way, too.
(Wichita Riverwalk and Keeper of the Plains statue)
Our next run day was an even bigger adventure. It snowed!
Neither one of us had ever run in the snow before. I was nervous about slipping because it was slushy snow and I wasn't confident in my footing. Once again, I was under-dressed. I forgot my jacket but at least this time I had a fleece headband to keep my head a little warmer. I obviously don't plan well.
We decided to run around his mom's neighborhood as it was quiet and had very little traffic. We only saw a few people outside, mostly those who were shoveling their walkways. The best part was when two little boys bolted out of their front door, all bundled up in puffy snow jackets. One yelled, "IT'S SNOWMAN TIIIIIME!!!" You have no idea how badly I wanted to join them! I've still never built a snowman.
Anyway, this run was less enjoyable because it was difficult to navigate the slush and cross the streets and find a solid place to run when the sidewalks disappeared. It wasn't bad, just different and a little stressful. I think having done it once, I could do better the next time knowing what worked and what didn't. It was a very slow run, but I also stopped a few times to snap photos.
(My husband looks very Silence of the Lambs, right?)
I was happy that I got both of my planned Couch to 10K runs in while I was on vacation. On the way home, we had a 3-hour layover in Salt Lake City, so we walked each of the concourses. We probably could have done it twice! It's not a huge airport, but it did provide a warm place to walk around and get the blood moving. This was New Year's Day, and I felt like it was a nice way to start a new year. It may not have been super active or anything, but I was happy to be moving rather than sitting at a bar or at the gate for a few boring hours.
A goal I have for myself this year is to be active at least 10 minutes every day. I know that with training for a 10K and doing other things, I'll get more than 10 most days. But this is a good reminder for me that I DO have 10 minutes to make myself a priority each day.

Happy New Year, Heather! Too bad you didn't know those kids well enough to stop and build a snowman (without seeming like crazy stalker lady LOL). It is fun! I am sure you will get your chance!
Good for you -- a California girl going out there and running in the snow.
I cannot say the same, and I am a born and bred northeastern girl -- used to snow every winter of her life! I loved your comment "my face was frozen in a grimace"
Good for you, my friend, and your hubby too for getting 2013 off to such an active start!

Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
The Rav4 is quite simply a Great SUV,the 4cyl is peppy,good gas mileage,nice ride for a smaller suv,the interior is deceptively roomy,the rear adjustable and reclining seats are very comfortable for two adults,lots of cargo space,all operating controls are easy to reach and use,the 4X4 system is great for the cold weather climates,
If you like the WOW /glitz and glamour effect,then look elsewhere,
but if u want a Reliable well built SUV that does it all admirably then look no further.

I've wanted one of these for sometime, but wife thought they were these little tiny things. We went to this from a 2008 Civic Hybrid. True overall mpg was 37, far from the 50 MPG (highway) that was stated on the window sticker. I'll take the -10 mpg hit to my wallet for the better ride with better quality.
The Toyota RAV4 is so spacious and easy to drive. It is a great choice for small/mid sized SUV's. We love the huge cargo area provided in the back. The v6 engine makes you feel a bit more powerful but it still gets great highway miles at 28mpg. There is an mp3 player which is something many people can enjoy in today's digital age. You have the option for a third row of seats which comes in handy if you've got a few extra kids to haul around to soccer practice, or you can leave it out and save room for groceries, a pet, or just storage of some kind. With the low price tag I would highly recommend this car to someone looking for a nice SUV that still gets decent miles on the road. The inside is neither luxurious or simple, it feels comfortable, and just right for a family!

Secrets of Success
Did I Break My Streak? Healthy? Not-healthy? Figuring It Out Here
Saturday, March 23, 2013
Okay my Spark friends - I'm going to work this out in public on my blog because I have to work it out on paper anyway and I don't mind sharing the process. I also don't mind comments about this either. It's ALL a work in progress - it's life!
Fridays are my low exercise day. I have no workout I do, though I like to be active. I often do the big grocery shopping on Fridays and that's a nice long walk around the store. But I definitely don't do anything specific.
It is also supposed to become part of my routine - my daily routine - to take a short walk with my little dog in the morning. About a mile - only 15 minutes - but I'm supposed to do that every day unless it's raining and yesterday it was not raining and I didn't do it. Instead I played around on the computer.
It's also a kind of laid back day at work. We don't open to the public till 1 o'clock so we can get paperwork done - and these days paperwork definitely means sitting in front of a computer. Of course I'm also supposed to get up and move around every hour but .. i didn't. I hunkered down and sat from 10 to 12
I did take a sweet one mile walk at lunch time. That's good.
I ate my packed lunch - healthy, fruit filled, high fiber, low calories.
Thought about a cup of coffee with cream as I walked past the 7-11 but decided I didn't really want it and to buy one gratuitously seemed stupid.
Didn't get as much work done as I should have - due to slight case of Friday goofing off-edness - and felt guilty all afternoon. Now - Really. I mean. If one is going to goof off one ought to CHOOSE to goof off and leave the guilt behind .... much as one CHOOSES to eat things even if they are not healthy. Mindlessness and its attendant guilt is a sick way to live. And the goofing off really was prompted by being afraid to do something I need to do. And being afraid is stupid because for goodness sake. This isn't a war zone. It's just a county job. What's going to happen? somebody will be mad at me? Sheesh. STOOPID. I have been making monsters out of something that's just a SITUATION. It may not be a pleasant situation but it's just something. Not ... not life threatening. Ugh.
Well. I see a whole lotta cowardice on the part of my Right Brain who is supposed to be helping my Left Brain deal with emotions. RB really let her down. Crumbs.
Okay ... where in the heck did THAT come from. anyway - altogether it was NOT a healthy afternoon. Bad. Oh - not in the food and exercise arena - but here is where bad food choices slip into my life. Keep on running away from stuff and I'll run right back into 187 lbs.
I think this makes
Picked up girlfriend and took her to the wine tasting at the local wine shop. Yum. And fun. And I always make them give me only 2 sips per wine. I have to truly only taste it since I will have to drive home afterwards. Which I did. and I only ate about 50 calories of pallet clearing bits. Since I had planned to go to this tasting and I also tasted moderately, and I counted these tastes in my tracker, it is neither a + or a - but a neutral.
Bought wine and came home to Himself and made a pizza for dinner. Yes. The real thing. this is something I planned about a week ago as a treat for Himself. I love a pizza. I love it with wine. I also know that if I have 2 pieces I'll be fine and if I eat 3 pieces I will be sick. The pieces are about 5" x 5". It's a cheese pizza - I figure it at 8 points per piece or 360 calories ... yes. 720 calories worth of pizza - half a healthy day's worth of food.
Is my pizza healthy? Well. not particularly. Is it unhealthy? Definitely it is if I eat too much. It's heavy on the dairy, the crust is white flour crust, I do use olive oil. I would say it's firmly in the TREAT category - and that means it is only unhealthy if it's used as a substitute for nutrition. And yet - a treat is also a healthy thing if it's treated as a treat. LOL
I'm really undecided about this. and so I will make this also a neutral - neither a plus nor a minus. But ONLY because I planned it, I limited it and I followed my limits.
I also tracked it - and everything else I ate yesterday.
I ate about 250 calories over my average daily limit - which would count as a minus except that I am still well within my WEEKLY calorie limit. More neutral stuff here.
so - it's a win for the healthy day after all.
And because I thought about it so much and did so much planning and I'm working it out here on this blog for anyone else's benefit ... I am going to say it was a mindful enough day to be a winner and I am now going to go change my status and say I still lived a healthy day yesterday ... in spite of the pizza.
I should have call this post CAN YOU FIT PIZZA INTO A HEALTHY DAY?

I think it was totally healthy! I still eat pizza - just not real often. And while I do try to tailor a higher calorie/carb sweet/whatever day to days with more activity, it doesn't always work that way. And that's ok!
It's not about deprivation, after all.

Sounds like you did very well to me. And of course pizza can fit into a healthy lifestyle if it's planned for and not binged on; you scored on both of those points. I don't like the idea of "cheat days" because it implies that deprivation should be the norm. I lost 50 pounds eating a bowl of Capn Crunch as a pre-bed treat more often than not. It kept me from feeling deprived. Now 10 years into maintenance I rarely want cereal any more and when I do, it's Kashi Go Lean that calls my name instead of the Capn. I guess what I'm trying to say is that our food plans need to be livable for the long haul. We aren't perfect, and are days wont be perfect either. It's the overall trends that count.

I liked the way you reasoned everything out. Besides, even Dr Oz says you can have a cheat day so you won't feel deprived and quit or go on a binge.

The Southern Illinois volleyball team under the direction of first-year head coach Justin Ingram wrapped up the 2012 season 21-9 overall and 11-7 in the Missouri Valley Conference.
Dec. 3, 2012
CARBONDALE, Ill.--The Southern Illinois volleyball team under the direction of first-year head coach Justin Ingram wrapped up the 2012 season 21-9 overall and 11-7 in the Missouri Valley Conference.
With that record SIU finished fourth in the Valley earning themselves a trip to the 2012 MVC Championships as the fourth seeded team.
This season marked Sothern's first 20-win season since the 2002 squad finished with an overall record of 23-10 and 12-6 in the MVC. The last 20-win season prior to 2002 was in 1986 when SIU competed in the Gateway Conference.
The Salukis kicked-off their season with a 9-0 home stand. SIU's last longest winning stretch occurred during the 1994 season when the team went 8-0.
In league play, Southern Illinois topped Creighton on Sep. 28 in four sets to defeat the Bluejays for the first time in ten years. Until then, Creighton held a 19-match winning streak over the Salukis dating back to 2002. SIU remained the only Missouri Valley Conference team to defeat Creighton this season.
SIU finished strong statistically ranking second in the MVC in blocks, third in assists, and fourth in hitting percentage. Individually, Alysia Mayes was one of the leagues top attackers placing third in the conference in hitting percentage with a clip of .361. Freshman Taylor Pippen nabbed the 10th spot with an efficiency of .286. Mayes and Pippen also led the Valley in blocks ranking second and 10th, respectively. Amy Drabant finished second in the MVC in assists averaging 11.41 per set.
The record book was shaken up this season as several Salukis inked their names in. Senior Bailey Yeager broke the single-season digs record recording a total of 630 digs. Sophomore setter Amy Drabant recorded 1,178 assists to rank 10th all-time in assists in a season and senior Laura Thole recorded 1,212 attempts to rank second all-time in a single season.
The Salukis also raked in the honors this season. Bailey Yeager and Alysia Mayes were named Capital One Academic All-District selections this season.
Bailey Yeager, Rachael Brown, and Alysia Mayes were named First Team MVC Scholar-Athletes. This honor for Brown, Mayes and Yeager marks the first time three Saluki volleyball players have been selected to the MVC Scholar-Athlete First team since 2002 when Kristie Kemner, Lindsey Schultz and Britten Follett were recognized.
Three Salukis also earned All-Conference honors this season. Seniors Alysia Mayes and Laura Thole were selected to the All-MVC First Team while Taylor Pippen was named to the MVC All-Freshman Team. Taylor Pippen was also named to the 2012 MVC All-Tournament team.

Will Smith Slaps Reporter Who Tries Kissing Him on Red Carpet (VIDEO)
Will Smith slapped a reporter at the Moscow premiere of Men in Black 3 on Friday.
The star was making his way down the red carpet when a Ukranian reporter tried to kiss the actor.
Smith was caught off guard and first pushed away the smoochy journalist before slapping him across the face with the back of his hand, asking, "What the hell is your problem, man?"
Moments later, Smith — still on-camera — noted that the male reporter tried to kiss him on the lips, and added, "He's lucky I ain't sucker punched him."
What do you think of how Smith handled the situation?

Student Spotlight: David Kalet
David Kalet
David Kalet knows exactly when he decided to become a certified public accountant.
"Shortly after completing my MBA in 2001, the Enron scandal and its subsequent bankruptcy underlined the importance of fairly reporting financial performance," he said. "The subsequent passage of the Sarbanes Oxley Act solidified my plans to become a CPA."
Kalet enrolled at College of DuPage and completed the 28 hours in Accounting coursework that he needed to help meet the requirements to sit for the CPA exam.
"Convenience of location and having a choice of attending classes on weekends and in the evenings was a major consideration in selecting COD," he said. "I liked the fact that most of the professors had practical experience in industry and with accounting firms. It was comforting to me that many of my co-students were mature, non-traditional students who, like me, were looking to augment their skills to become a CPA. And finally, the low cost of tuition convinced me that this was easily affordable.
"The staff was focused on teaching skills needed to pass the CPA exam. Many of the exam questions were based on the CPA exam bank. We were encouraged to use current employment problems as the subject for assigned projects that reinforced our understanding of the material and helped me advance my career with my current employer."
Kalet felt completely prepared to sit for the CPA exam, which he passed. Since then, his current employer, BP Products North America, encouraged him to make a career shift into accounting and finance roles. He began with an assignment in Internal Controls and worked on a project to implement Sarbanes Oxley Act requirements. He has since become an economic analyst, where he is responsible for providing assurance over economic models for major capital spending.
In addition, he started his own private tax practice (www.kaletcpa.com) to serve individual and small businesses during evenings and weekends. He is active in the Illinois CPA Society, serving on the Individual Tax Committee and currently sitting as a member of the Board of Directors.
He praises College of DuPage for providing a high-quality experience in preparing people to sit for the CPA exam.
"The CPA certification is recognized worldwide as the gold standard for accounting proficiency. The COD faculty will help you learn all the skills you need to pass the CPA exam," he said.
"COD is a community treasure that exists to serve our community. Take charge of your future by taking advantage of this life-changing opportunity."

Church Going
by Philip Larkin
Church Going: Ah, the Call of the Spirit Quiz
Think you've got your head wrapped around Church Going? Put your knowledge to the test. Good luck — the Stickman is counting on you!
Q. According to the third stanza, what specifically does the speaker search for whenever he stops to look inside churches?
He's not totally sure.
A churchgoer who can successfully convert him
A book that will teach him about Christianity
A sense of community
Q. According to lines 47-51, why does the speaker tend to return to churches over and over?
Because life is too short to spend being a bitter skeptic
Because it gives meaning to life's big moments
Because he's desperately lonely
Because his bicycle keeps strangely breaking down outside of churches
Q. What is so attractive about the fact that the church is a "serious house on serious earth" (55)?
Because there will always be some part of us to think that life has a serious meaning
Because eventually, people get tired of laughing at each other's dumb jokes
Because religion is a very unhappy thing, and people secretly want to be miserable
Because in terms of spiritual fulfillment, everything except religion is a big joke
Q. Why is the silence inside the church "unignorable" (7)?
Because the speaker fears the power of God
Because the speaker doesn't really know what he's looking for in the church
Because the place is very spooky and menacing
Because there might be someone else inside the church
Q. Why does the speaker take off his "cycle-clips" inside the church?
Because they're hurting him
Because another churchgoer gives him a disapproving look, and he is worried about being offensive
Because he's paranoid after letting the door thud shut
He doesn't have a hat, and figures he should take off something to show his respect.

As you know, my brother is serving in Iraq. He got to watch last nights game and the title of my article was the overall mood after the game. He told our mother the quote and told her it was that everyone there was feeling the same way. Thought I would share it with you. It's funny, last nights game to me was all about getting back in the race. Feels a little different today.
