One of the keys behind St. Louis Blues' run? Goalie Chris Mason
We talked to you last week about the amazing second-half surge of the St. Louis Blues, but we didn't really tell you about one of the guys playing a central role in that story.
"Chris Mason has just been tremendous," Blues GM Larry Pleau told ESPN.com on Monday.
Mr. Mason will be in goal Tuesday night against Los Angeles for a 24th consecutive game, hoping to help maintain one of the NHL's best stories. Mason has gone 16-7-5 in his past 28 games with three shutouts, a .925 save percentage and a 2.08 goals-against average -- mind-numbing numbers.
"It's a funny thing; it's such a fine line," Mason told us after practice Monday. "But just getting the opportunity to play all the games and knowing that I'm going back in regardless of a tough outing, that's huge. You get into that comfort zone, and the game kind of slows down in front of you."
The Blues acquired Mason from Nashville in June 2008, figuring he'd give veteran Manny Legace a real push for the No. 1 job. Both goalies struggled at times in the first half of the season. A disgruntled Legace eventually was sent to the minors. But Mason finally took off around midseason and hasn't looked back.
"I think it took him a little bit of time to get comfortable, but since the first part of January, he's just been tremendous," Pleau said. "We just finished a road trip where we played three games in four nights, and he played three games which gave us a chance to win them all."
Mason struggled last season in Nashville, eventually losing his starting job to Dan Ellis (who subsequently lost it to Pekka Rinne this season). The trade to the Blues helped Mason refocus.
"This year, I feel I've been more patient than I was last year," Mason said. "I learned a lot from having a down year last season. As soon as I got home last summer, I worked with [assistant coach/goalie coach] Rick Wamsley on how to get that patience back in my game. It seems like it's all coming together at the end here."
He's been the man for 23 games and counting. Pleau chuckled at a recent conversation.
"I remember talking to the coaches about three weeks ago and they're asking me, 'When do we give him a rest?' And I said, 'I don't see any time to give him a rest. Just let him keep playing,'" Pleau said, laughing. "He's been great, he really has -- personality-wise, leadership in the room, experience -- he's been terrific."
Before a huge win in Calgary on Friday night, the end of a tough three-game trip in Western Canada, Mason was among the players coach Andy Murray singled out to speak to the team. And speak Mason did.
"I was given the opportunity to speak, and I just talked about how much the team meant to me and how much of an honor it is to play with these guys," Mason said. "I just think we're the kind of group that's the true definition of the word 'team.' We need everybody to win. We don't have the top-10 scorer that's going to single-handedly win us some games. We truly need all of our guys."
The fans in St. Louis have responded, sitting 11th in NHL attendance at an average of 18,481 per home date, up from 13th last season and 30th in 2006-07.
"The buzz here and the fans have been unbelievable," Mason said.
The lunch-bucket Blues are hanging in there, folks, with a gutsy goalie leading the way. They've got three weeks left to complete the Hollywood script.

The film was directed by Fred Schepisi ("Six Degrees of Separation", "Mr. Baseball", "Iceman", "The Devil's Playground", etc.)
"ROXANNE" is an entertaining romantic comedy with Steve Martin in the top of his game.
Featuring clever writing, wonderful acting and Steve Martin carrying this film to incredible heights through a perfect blend of romance and comedy.
To see "ROXANNE" in high-definition was actually quite nice. The location in the Pacific Northwest shows us the mountain regions surrounding the area, sunshine, blue waters. Now in 1080p High Definition with an aspect ratio of 2:40:1, the film really does bring out the outdoor scenes and for an late 1980's film, the picture quality is actually pretty good.
The film does show its age because of the fashion (Daryl Hanna's leather boots and Fred Willard's Miami Vice fashion is so easily identifiable with the 80's) and musical styles presented and there are times that the film looks soft but for the most part, picture quality is clean.,
For a film that is over 20-years-old, you really can't go wrong with this Blu-ray release because currently, it is the best looking transfer that you will ever find of the film.
As for audio, "ROXANNE" is presented in Dolby TrueHD 5.1 (English, French and Portuguese) and a Spanish 5.1 Dolby Digital track.Read more ›
I had to put up with a VHS edition for 15 years, for what! This? I can say without any doubt, that this is one of the worst DVD editions i own, behind my Asian bootleg martial arts copies. Absolutely awful, this edition manages to restrain the impact of the movie with all the worst features of the fullscreen edition: Extreme close-ups, alternate or moving angles from the same take, chopped off characters from the scenes, people talking to shoulders and corners, people talking from outside the picture, missing scenarios and landscapes, blurry video quality... my god! Not even the 5.1 english soundtrack could emerge, not even the movie could! Extras? The movie trailer...In widescreen! It was torture.
By far, the worst 7 dollars i have ever spent, and a disapointment i'm never gonna forget.
My recomendation for fans looking for this wonderful movie in DVD: Go outside the store and get the widescreen edition, online or on local stores. I'm desperatly seeking for other better editions, i'm even willing to download it, or even buy a bootleg.
Whatever you do: Please, please, don't buy this awful Sony 2002 fullscreen edition.
And Sony pictures: Widescreen versions fit the screen too!

What would you do with 30 extra years of life? Give those 30 years back?
If you are like some of the older adults in the Forever Fit Cardio fitness classes I teach, you don't necessarily want 30 years added to your lifespan. And these are active adults in their 60s-80s, so imagine what inactive people might say to living to 100 and beyond. And yet, it is possible to greet such an offer with delight, not dread, especially if you embrace healthy aging and dispel some common misconceptions.
Redefine How You Age?
The worry about adding years to life without adding life to those years is well-founded. When we interviewed highly recognized active aging expert, Colin Milner, founder of the International Council on Active Aging (ICAA), he laid out some interesting stats and scenarios facing our baby boomer population.
According to Milner, the US and Canada have shoveled out trillions of dollars to increase longevity. And that effort has been quite successful: we North American humans have added an average of 30 additional years to our lives in just one century. That jump is bigger than the one my sister did when a tick landed on her during a dog walk the other day. The problem with the lifespan jump is that those added years are not proving to be healthy ones. Suuuuuu-prise, suuuu-prise. Or not really a surprise at all to those of us who work with or are older adults.
Basically, as we age, we baby boomers and our parents face 5 key challenges. Can you guess what they are?
Super Sensible Solutions for the Projected Problems
For each problem, Colin Milner offers a corresponding suggestion. (Could be why his nickname is "the Colonizer.") While he confesses that his advice may seem simple, he stresses that putting it into practice takes effort and focus. Making a plan to age in a healthy, "new thinking" way is hard. Yet aging inactively is harder.
In fact, as a generation, we are NOT aging healthfully. Read about it here: Women Over 50: We are NOT aging healthfullyTop 5 things you can do to age well (even after a lifetime of yuck, blah, & bad habits Click To Tweet
All in all, the key is to be proactive in order to age actively. Whew! That's a lot of action. But not yet enough, as what we ultimately need to do is create a plan for today and the added tomorrows. We can redefine how we age, writing a new and better ending for ourselves and history. As Colin asks, "What is your plan?" What expectations do you have — of yourself, your health, your future, your present? In short, what will you do with your 30 added years?
Want to be an s active aging superstar? How? Read this post: What Do You Enjoy About Aging?
HOT NEWS: Speaking of the International Council on Active Aging, I was one of 30 national fitness leaders selected to present at their Nov 2016 Reimagine Aging conference taking place in Orlando. My topic? "Integrate Function and Cognitive Challenges into Your Older-adult Fitness Group." In a nutshell, move, think, do both at once." Am I qualified? Decide for yourself by reading this post: Midlife Funtional Aging Specialists
Really be impressed with how much you will learn and benefit from the cutting edge advice of Colin Milner and others who specialize in healthy aging for older adults. Take a gander at our TransformAging package. Seriously, don't simply grow old when you can age actively! Costs nothing to check out this link: TransformAging Summit
Kymberly Williams-Evans, MA
Before deciding whether or not to partner with Omron Healthcare, I hopped on a phone call with Jeff Ray, their executive director of business and technology. Both Kymberly and I wear fitness trackers, plus we like to know our BP readings, so the monitors looked to be interesting for you and us.
Let me describe the two monitors, then share the answers Jeff gave to a few questions I asked.
Wrist – Somewhat bigger than a fitness tracker, it looks like a giant watch. You can wear it all day or just for taking your BP reading; whichever you prefer. Me, I'd probably wear it all day in order to take advantage of the fitness tracking aspects. You set it, wait for it to inflate, then Boom, you have the info right at your fingertips (or wrist, as the case may be). No wires, no cuff. You can even send the info to your physician via the OMRON Connect App. It can also remind you to take any necessary medications, and track your compliance.
Upper Arm – Free of tubes and wires, this monitor can track hypertension levels and and detect irregular heartbeats. It also syncs to your smartphone or tablet with the OMRON Connect App. Instead of having the fitness tracker add-ons, the upper arm monitor can precisely measure more data points.
Especially as we age, Kymberly and I like knowing our stats. Since we're healthy and fit, we don't go to the doctor's very often, so having an easy-to-use monitor at home would be a good way to get information more than once or twice a year.
On your behalf, I asked questions that I thought you would have. Let us know in the comments what other questions you'd ask.
Where and when can I get one? – They'll be available in most drugstores nationwide in late 2016.
What will it cost? – Under $200
How accurate is the wrist monitor, compared to the standard medical upper arm one at the doctor's office? – There is no difference in accuracy. As a matter of fact, the designers at Omron tried to make the wrist monitor smaller so that it would be closer in size to a standard fitness tracker, but the accuracy was compromised, so they have kept it slightly bigger to retain its accuracy. The one caveat – you must hold your wrist up near your heart.
How often do you have to recharge the battery? – Every two weeks, give or take, depending on the number of hours you wear it, and how often you download the stats. The two week estimate is based on a 2-per-day BP reading.
Are these monitors only for people who are required to check their BP? – Anyone can buy one. (I was curious, because I'd love to have the wrist monitor, but I have no medical issues. My purpose would be to track my stats as part of my plan to PREVENT medical issues)
I was pretty excited, as the wrist monitor in particular seems to be at the crossroads between medicine (both monitors ARE medical devices) and fitness trackers; tertiary care meets preventive care.
This video that Verge did gives even more information.
Bet you didn't know that one-third of (U.S.) Americans have high blood pressure, which is a major risk factor for stroke and heart disease. As someone who has gone through the trauma of a loved one having two strokes and two TIAs, I can say with 100% conviction that these portable, super cool, app-connected, easy-to-use monitors can help prevent that from happening to you. And if you want to know how to improve your heart's health, read our recent post, "Healthy Heart: Improve Your Circulation and Flexibility."
When the monitors DO come out later this year, I'll be one of the first people in line to try out the wrist monitor. Physical activity, sleep data and accurate BP readings – I'm into knowing those.
Of course, you'll still have to get a mneumonic device to help you remember the difference between systolic and diastolic. Or is that just me?
Alexandra Williams, MA
This post is sponsored by Omron Healthcare, as part of their #HeartHealthMonth outreach. All thoughts and opinions are our own. Wish we could say the same about the monitors 🙂
Where do you go and what can you do when you have three generations, four days to travel, and a goal to achieve at least 10,000 steps per day? Let me rephrase that: what place meets the needs of middle-aged twins who want "active travel" options, a 19 year old who is game for whatever as long as heavy exertion is not required, and a mom/ grandma who needs to make decisions based on safety?
Click on all images to see the captions.
When Alexandra and I, both baby boomers, were offered the opportunity to head up the Highway 1 Discovery Route, we were all over it like elephant seals on sand! Wait, did I just compare ourselves to large, rotund animals? Moving on. (But first, we would like to thank, acknowledge, and disclose that our trip was sponsored by CA Highway 1 DiscoveryRoute (highway1discoveryroute.com). Local businesses and organizations teamed up to promote the many options the area offers and we were the lucky bloggers chosen to get spoiled.)
Turns out the Cambria/ Harmony/ San Simeon area (best known for Hearst Castle) is the ideal vacation destination for multigenerational travel. Even better, winter is an ideal time to visit this accessible section of central California. Crowds are down; prices are low; and the number of things to do and see is sky high. Seriously, I had thought of the area as "sleepy" but we could have spent a week and still not have exhausted the options. I might have started fighting with Alexandra after a week together. Willing to find out though!
Why fight when you can find Harmony? Home of 18 residents and the Harmony Glassworks Studio, this tiny "city" is worth checking out. Don't blink or you'll miss the exit. Whether you want to try glassblowing, shop for handmade gifts, or wait in the car while the crazy middle-aged sisters brave the rain to get some pictures, you'll be glad you ventured here. Skin is waterproof, so bring on the wet!
A quick tour and interview of the Harmony Glassworks
New experiences and nature spark the brain. Great for our mom, who wants to retain her memory and cognitive skills. She loves to travel, though can no longer do so alone. Catching the elephant seals in winter is perfect as that's when the pups are just born, so the rookery is chock full of new seal families. Super accessible and interesting for all ages. And we almost saw a seal give birth.
Walking and healthy foods enhance health. Say, that sounds good to all of us, including my 19 year old nephew. He was keen on the high quality restaurants and varied food choices. He fully embraced the antiquing, beachcombing, and massage at the El Colibri Spa and Inn, where we stayed.
Rain and mist (finally!) create gorgeous vistas and ideal hike conditions. For me this meant heading to the Harmony Headlands Trail, a 4-mile walk through meadows and rolling hills to get to rugged coastline.
My sister, mom, and nephew headed to Hearst Castle meantime. Hot tip to you baby boomers who bring a parent along — walking sticks will really help with steps, castle climbing, slippery streets, and strolls along the Moonstone Beach boardwalk.
Originally, I was scheduled to kayak with Cubby of Kayak Outfitters. But when the words "tricky" and "high surf advisory" came into the discussion, I decided to return in fall for this adventure. Apparently fall is the best time to paddle out. So that's when you can count me in. Yes, I plan to return as I enjoyed the area so much and have other hiking trails to check out.
Visiting Covell's Clydesdale Horse Ranch is another insider tip for those of you who want to step back in time when the land was pristine and undeveloped. You can read more about this unique, historic, and privately held ranch dedicated to conservation in this post my sister wrote. Great photos too!: Hidden Gem in Central California. Again, the set up appealed to all four of us, and the owner was very sweet and accommodating of our varied needs and interests. I am not normally a horse person (they scare me, ok?!). But seeing the Clydesdales up close was a once-in-a-lifetime, inspiring experience. What may appeal to some of you even more is getting access to this private and vast property. Being able to perambulate and drive through more than a thousand acres of "original" California coastal land is the tour to take advantage of while you can.
Another travel tip Alexandra and I figured out is that we can work in some hikes and walks while the generation above and below take a nap, fondle their smart phones in the hotel room, and get spa treatments. With the Fiscalini Preserve just a mile from our hotel, we braved the elements and had the coastline to ourselves.
What's left to say? If you want to start your day with beauty (see above) and end it with more beauty (see and sea below), then get yourself and family to Highway 1 in Central California. For sure in winter. Then again, who wants to meet me there in fall? We can double kayak and take a hike!
ACTION: Have you been to Cambria and the surrounding area? If so, what is one of your fondest memories? Comment below. Or lay some emoticons on us.

We want to start our first blog post of the year with some ooomph, which is actually more like the sound my body makes when I sit down quickly. So while I'm seated, let's see if I can hold your interest. Better yet, I hope to inspire you to continue to be…. YOU. In all your glory. Why reinvent yourself when the current you has all you need?
Rather than make any resolutions, I have simply picked a word for the year. It's "consolidate." What word would you pick and why? We want to know, so please tell us in the comments. I want to consolidate my gains – recognition for my photo skills, making new friends, joining a dance troupe, getting out and about in downtown where I now live. I also want to consolidate my stressors – financial in particular. Of course, if I can increase my photography work, then my money worries will definitely decrease. Don't get me started on the $1,900 monthly health insurance bill. Sigh….Why reinvent yourself when the current you has all you need? Continue to be YOU. Click To Tweet
Lately my sis and I have been posting pics of things we enjoy doing, and we get comments about our energy and youthfulness. Which means many people have a mental construct about how Boomer women such as ourselves "should" look and act. Maybe the preconceived Boomer notion comes from memories of our own parents, or perhaps how we view ourselves, but for all of you in our demographic, do you see yourselves as lacking energy and youthfulness?
Maybe for 2016 all of us Boomer ladies need to join hands (preferably to disco music) and pinky swear to take on Carrie Fisher's reminder that youth and beauty are NOT accomplishments. How we live is an accomplishment.
So my exhortation, advice, suggestion, hope, admonition, and reminder is this – Go live. Live in a way that prevents you from saying "I wish I had done X or Y in 2016" when 2017 rolls around. If you love the outdoors, get out there. If you want to make friends, go make some. If you want to shed people who hold you down or back, shed them. If you want to sell your possessions and go around the world with your kids, do so. Take a chance, or a leap, or a dare. Or just say yes to a few new things. And no to a few others.
My sis said yes to a second dog. She said yes to taking beat-up furniture and making it pretty again. I said yes to being part of a dance group. And even though I was scared of being laughed at by true photo pros, I made note cards from some of my photos and now am selling them. I have even been hired as a photographer for a few ventures. I decided I was more scared of not trying (and of the medical bills). Put your energy where it creates more energy.Put your energy where it creates more energy. Click To Tweet
Of course, we know that we get much of our energy and youthfulness (whatever that actually is) from our love of movement and exercise, and we hope you do too (great chance for me to plug my sister's upcoming Ultimate Abs ebook), but you know best what gives you energy. That's a benefit of being older; we know what works for and against us.
Let 2016 be one of many years where you are yourself, but MORE. Happy New Year. And if you haven't yet subscribed to our twice-weekly posts, this is a perfect time. Just add your email to the bar on the right.

What percentage of women in the US are inactive? It's not even Halloween, and the statistic should scare us all. 82% This high number of sedentary women is particularly worrisome when you consider that "active" is defined as engaging in a mere 2.5 hours of exercise per week. Whaaaaat??!! That's an average of less than 22 minutes per day of movement. So 82% of our nation's women are struggling to work in even 22 minutes a day of activity.
Let's hope you are a stat buster making up for the rest of the nation! If not, you can be by sneaking in at least 150 minutes of exercise per week. Need ideas how to start, restart, or up the ante? Check out some of our posts that will help you activate to health and super stats status:

I'm known for saying that I don't like camping because dirt is involved. I've always loved being in the outdoors, especially if hiking is involved, but I've never enjoyed sleeping in the outdoors. I also frequently say that I'd happily go camping if it involved air conditioning, private hot showers and was a hotel room. Joke's on me as it turns out that kind of camping actually exists.
This past weekend I was invited to the Entertainment New Media Network Conference. Day One – the KOA (Kampgrounds of America) Ventura Ranch in Santa Paula. Yup, do you see the word "campground" kind of hidden in there?
We got a tour, and I saw the inside of a very appealing teepee. Okay, it had beds and was cute, and even had privacy. But it was about 100 degrees that day and the teepee was hot. In short – camping. I was inside long enough to take a few pictures and admire it from a "that's great for people who like camping" detached perspective. Really, I was just being polite and marking time till we got to do ziplining. That's some Active Aging right there, eh? My videos show that I thought the ziplining was a highlight. You know, 'cause I was up real high. Oh, the videos are sideways due to a change in the app I used to record. But you get a better feeling of the adventure with it sideways anyway.
After the small teepee, we saw a bigger, cuter teepee. Still camping. Just with more people. Bye bye. But then I heard the magic words: "Come on up to the deluxe cabins, which have air conditioning." Yes, besides "please," there are other magic words, especially when we're on Day 9,017 of a heat wave. Who would have thought that "deluxe" and "camping" would ever join together in peace and harmony (code for hot showers and A/C).
When I was a kid, my parents would load up our family of 7 into the VW camper van and we'd go places, pitching a tent each night. Well, my dad pitched the tent. We probably ate S'mores and listened to him cursing the tent stakes. When my boys were small, I would join in the family camping adventures because I wanted to be a good mom. Jury's still out whether I achieved that status, but the boys are now grown up and have happy camping memories. They also now go camping with their dad, leaving me at home. They know I'd give them "the look" if they invited me along.
But now I have a solution that's perfect. The boys and I can all now go together. We'll sit in the car and take turns driving. We can even hitch up the tiny (emphasis on TINY) Eriba camper trailer. And we'll only stay at KOA Kampgrounds that have Deluxe Cabins… with linens. That's their official designation – Deluxe Cabins with LInens. I'll fall asleep caressing those linens after a hot shower and some time spent watching rescued dog videos on Facebook, compliments of the free wifi. I'll wake up and cook breakfast in an actual kitchen. Then I'll go for a short walk over to the site where the boys have parked the Eriba, wake them up and invite them over to my cabin for breakfast. But only if they wipe the dirt off their feet.
I might even let them use my shower. But only if they promise to go ziplining with me after we swim in the pool. And jump on the giant pillow. And if they're not too tired from rubbing two sterno cans together to make a fire, I might even let them beat me to the top of the climbing wall. Right after we go for a hike.
Yup, I like the math. Time with my boys + deluxe cabin – dirt and heat + hot shower – paying high hotel prices + fun activities and hiking – sharing a bathroom with strangers = Perfect Camping. And it was all less than an hour from my home, in gorgeous Ventura Country. Sign me up.

Active Aging: Making frequent small choices that enable you to move as freely as possible throughout your world.
Say what?! Well, I could have said "Move a lot and exercise," but it's not really that. Besides, that sounds like one or two choices per day. The truth is that it is NOT so much the choice to go to an exercise class or do an activity that works up a sweat. It is the repeated small choices we make every day.
I'll give you an example that illustrates the "Use it or Lose it" principle. I was at an event this past weekend where we had access to a pool, which was at the bottom of a hill. After swimming, we had lunch at the top of the hill. It was very hot, so the 3-minute walk up and down the hill wasn't fun. A ride was provided for those who didn't want to walk. Nearly everyone took the ride, saying they didn't like to walk uphill. That was a choice. Yet if we play this out, look what happens:
Many older people we know (and a few younger ones too, sadly) are no longer able to walk at all, due entirely to the many small choices they made over the years to NOT move. They didn't use their legs, so they lost the ability to use their legs. They aged inactively.
What do you think might have happened if they had chosen the stairs instead of the elevator? Those were repeated, small choices. What if they had gone for a 10-minute walk around the block while waiting for their loved one to come out from an appointment or school? What if they had gone in the pool with their kids instead of sitting on the chaise longue? Or stood up to change the TV channel instead of using the remote control? All small choices that lead to active aging.
You don't need to get sweaty and exhausted. You don't need to climb a steep hill … today. You just need to make small, incremental choices every single day that lead you toward doing the things you want to do five, ten and twenty years from now. What you don't use, you'll lose. Once you're in the habit of walking, you'll find that sitting for long periods of time is actually physically uncomfortable. And you want that. You want to be more comfortable moving than not moving.
This is my plea to you – Make small choices
And this is my wish for you – Live a long, active, healthy, enjoyable life that ends abruptly, not slowly

According to research by the National Center for the Study of Adult Learning and Literacy, "being part of a cohort – a tight-knit, reliable, common-purpose group – is very important in different ways." Not only were we tight-knit, we were on a mission to squish as many people as possible onto a couch. Sort of like a slumber party, but with a reasonable amount of sleep.
As humans, we strive to create meaning in our lives, which we do by growing, learning and giving. We do these things best when we have connections. Connections with women who both support and challenge me helps me create meaning, especially when I believe those women understand me, or at least have the framework to share a language that leads to understanding.
Okay, that's all well and good and counselor-ish, but just like exercise, if it's not fun, we aren't going to do it. Speaking of which, our exercise classes for BAM were at 7 a.m. which we discovered was a bit out of the majority of the attendees' comfort time zone. So now we have a conundrum to solve – how to help midlife women realize that you gain energy for a long day by getting up early to work out. In any case, Kymberly's Abs, Balance, Core class and my Drums Alive workout were really fun for all who were there, as evidenced by these comments from Candace Karu of Cabot Cheese and Rebecca Olkowski.
As I've aged, I've discovered that I'm an outgoing introvert, or maybe an extrovert who likes a lot of "listening and observing" time. While teaching or presenting (we also gave a talk about media kits for bloggers) I am very animated and sociable, yet found that much of my "people enjoyment" came from listening to others' stories. Are you more of a talker or a listener? I found it extremely satisfying to hear the stories my friends (which was everyone at the conference) shared – stories of loss, powerlessness, poverty, struggle, heartbreak, exhilaration, achievement and reinvention. These stories enabled me to feel part of the "girl gang" as we all have histories that got us to where we are now.
The "In" Group
Do you ever feel like you are on the outside looking at those on the inside? I do sometimes, especially at my job at the university, where every year I'm a year older and the students are still 20. My heart and plans and thoughts and desires all feel young to me, yet sometimes my body reminds me that I'm in my 50s. Sometimes my two boys make me feel old, simply because they are now grown up. I don't want to be young again, yet certainly don't see myself as old either. Being around a hundred women my age automatically put me into the "in" group. We were ALL good-looking and effervescent; fashionable and interesting. No-one was dismissed; there was no "outsiders" group. Doesn't that sound like Friend Utopia?
Do you have a good balance of new and long-term friends? As I age, I find it important to make new friends as well as relishing my friendships that go as far back as a half-century. After the conference was over, Kymberly and I were taken on a Nashville sightseeing adventure by good friends we made via social media over the past few years – Kathy of Live the Fine Life, and Brenda (a single redhead from Alabama; hint to single guys). When I was young, I just accepted that everyone I met was my friend. As I aged, that changed, yet I still know when someone JUST IS my friend. I like the freedom age gives me to choose my friends based on nothing more than that I like them.
On that note, you get to see some pictures of downtown Nashville, courtesy of my desire to improve my photography skills. I don't know if the BAM conference will be in Nashville in 2016, but I do know Nashville has lots to offer. I also know that I'll be at the conference no matter where it's held, because – Friends.
As Kathy Bates said in Fried Green Tomatoes, "Face it girls, I'm older and have more insurance." In other words, we have money. And we'll spend it with brands that acknowledge our existence. The sponsors of the inaugural Bloggers at Midlife conference deserve a shout-out for doing just that.

On Saturday, my mom is taking my daughter and me to Nepal. As in Kathmandu, exotic locale on the other side of the world. Land of the Himalayas. She just turned 85 yesterday and has long wanted to travel to Nepal. So off we fly with a Sierra Club group for a 10 day journey through national parks, temples, cities, and villages.
To prep for this trip, my mom has been attending aqua aerobics classes at least twice a week, sometimes thrice. No, we are not trekking up mountains where the air is thin, unlike me! But we will be doing much in those 10 short days that will demand a lot from an 85 year old. I prepped by finding subs to cover my group fitness classes. Oh, and by gathering up my new Lorna Jane activewear, Ahnu shoes, Purple Frog insect patches, and Garden of Life organic energy bars and fondling them all lovingly. Into the suitcase they go, coming out on the other side of customs and the world!
If you want to track pictures from our adventures, follow me on instagram: @KymberlyFunFit. Not only will you get photos of an unusual, tantalizing place, but also shots of what an active life allows. Stairs, hikes, cityscapes, early mornings, long days of adventure, a three-generation trip of a lifetime! Maybe someone out there (probably someone needing new reading glasses) will even confuse me with my daughter in the rare air of Nepal. She turns 22 on our trip. Pretty sure you'll have a hard time figuring who is nana, who is young pup, who is the Boom Chicka Boomer.
Other prep involved completing a booklet for YOU and new subscribers just in time for the holiday season: 34 Guilt-Free Strategies to Avoid Holiday Weight Gain: Getting Through the Holidays without Stuffing. This free booklet is loaded with practical tips that are reasonable and non-judgy. (Remember that my twinnie sissie does have her Master's Degree in Counseling so she has some good mind tricks!)
If you have a goal to Break on Through to the Other Side of the season feeling good about yourself, this booklet is for you (who knows the song and band reference?)* Details on how to get your copy coming via our Facebook page and future blog posts. New subscribers will automatically get 34 Guilt-Free Strategies to Avoid Holiday Weight Gain.
This gift from us to you offers action items, realistic tips, and great strategies to:
Odds are pretty darn good you will find ideas you have not seen elsewhere nor thought of yet. Get ready to open new *Doors once you open your copy of our holiday booklet (ha ha ha hah that is the ultimate hint for the question posed above).
As for me, I plan to move as much as possible in Nepal so I return ready to greet the holidays with excitement and no extra pounds waiting under the turkey or tree.

The Nation: A Poll-Watcher's Guide; Stalking the Elusive Likely Voter
By MICHAEL R. KAGAY
Published: October 18, 1998
WITH midterm elections just around the corner and the impeachment inquiry of President Clinton set to start shortly afterward, public opinion polls are more numerous, more important and possibly more confusing than usual.
In any election year, pollsters try to predict which voters will go to the polls and what they will do when they get there. Turnout is important, but issues and circumstances like the state of the economy are what often drive the result.
But this year, the conventional wisdom has it, turnout is everything. If the Presidential sex scandal galvanizes Clinton opponents, Republicans win. If the widespread public distaste for impeachment proceedings mobilizes a backlash vote, Democrats may gain the upper hand.
So pollsters are focusing even more than usual this year on figuring out who will really take the trouble to vote, searching for that mythical beast known as the ''likely voter.''
In assessing pre-election polls, here are some things to look for:
Accurate Sampling
Good polls start with good samples of the population from all geographical areas and segments of society. In recent decades this has been accomplished by ''random digit dialing,'' in which a computer selects area codes and exchanges and then makes up the last four digits at random to form complete telephone numbers.
For decades pollsters have demonstrated how 1,000 or so people can accurately represent all adults in the entire nation -- plus or minus a few percentage points, the potential fluctuation that is inherent in every poll because it is a sampling rather than a census.
Likely Voters
In the period leading up to any election, pollsters make a big mistake if they try to represent all adults in their polls. In the 1996 Presidential election, only about 49 percent of all adults actually voted. In the 1994 midterm election, about 39 percent voted.
Thus it is critical to screen for likely voters by discarding the opinions of half to two-thirds of all adults polled.
Each polling organization has its own screening method. The Gallup Organization, which polls for USA Today and CNN, has one of the most elaborate and well-tested systems. It gives respondents points for voting in past elections, their current intention to vote and their knowledge of where to go to vote, among other factors. Respondents score from zero to seven points; Gallup then picks those respondents with the most points, working down until they reach a percentage of the total group that is equal to the expected nationwide turnout (expected to be 39 percent this year).
The New York Times/CBS News Poll, by comparison, screens in several ways. ''Likely voters'' in this year's polls are those who say they voted in either 1996 or 1994, who say they are paying attention to this year's campaign, and who say they will definitely vote in November.
''More likely voters'' differ by saying they voted in both 1996 and 1994.
The Times has found that its polling results become more pro-Republican when the focus is limited to likely and more likely voters, suggesting that if turnout is lower than usual this year, it will help Republicans. But Gallup does not find nearly so strong a pattern, suggesting that the contest remains very close at all levels of turnout.
David W. Moore, vice-president of Gallup, maintains that the organization's standard ''likely voter'' questions should still be adequate even in this unusual year. Mr. Moore says a person who shows little history of voting in past elections but who becomes motivated to vote this year by the Presidential scandal or the impeachment hearings might well be overlooked as a likely voter. But he added that he thought the people most likely to be roused to vote by the scandal or hearings would probably be strong Republicans or strong Democrats who are already frequent past voters.
Phrasing of Questions
Even though the latest Gallup and Times/CBS News polls issued last week agree in many areas, Gallup found that most Americans believe their incumbent Representatives deserve re-election. The Times/CBS News poll, on the other hand, found Americans to be narrowly split on the issue.
Closer examination suggests that the discrepancy may be due to the different wording of the questions. Gallup asked: ''Please tell me whether or not you think each of the following political officeholders deserves to be re-elected. First, most members of the House of Representatives; second, your own representative.''
The Times/CBS News poll linked re-election to job performance, and also asked whether it is time to give new candidates a chance, thus offering a potential reason why a respondent might prefer not to re-elect an incumbent.
Both sets of questions clearly show that people like their own Representative better than they like Congress in the aggregate, and both organizations find, each using its own questions, that willingness to re-elect incumbents is higher now than it was in 1994.
Multiple Polls
It is a pollster's maxim that the truth lies not in any one poll but at the center of gravity of several polls. When polls agree, it often means the findings are solid. But when they disagree, it often means the findings are more fragile or tentative.
The best advice, therefore, is to track the findings of several organizations.
Chart: ''It All Depends'' The results of any opinion poll vary depending on who is asked the questions and how the questions are phrased. FINDING LIKELY VOTERS Polls that take the pulse of the general population do a bad job forecasting election results because so many people don't vote. So pollsters try to find people who are likely to vote. A recent New York Times/CBS News poll showed that when asked which party's candidates they preferred in the Congressional elections, respondents tended to lean more toward Republicans as the focus narrowed to likely voters. Registered voters Democrat -- 45% Republican -- 37% Likely voters Democrat -- 47% Republican -- 42% More likely voters Democrat -- 44% Republican -- 48% HOW QUESTIONS ARE PHRASED The phrasing of poll questions can make a big difference. The Gallup poll asked people to rate Congressmen one way; The New York Times and CBS asked it another way. GALLUP/USA TODAY/CNN POLL (OCT. 9-12) Please tell me whether or not you think each of the following political officeholders deserve to be re-elected. First, most members of the House of Representatives, second, your own representative? Most Representatives Deserve -- 58% Not deserve -- 26% Own Representative Deserve -- 68% Not deserve -- 16% NEW YORK TIMES/CBS NEWS POLL (OCT. 12-13) Do you think most members of Congress have done a good enough job to deserve re-relection, or do you think it's time to give new people a chance? Most Representatives Deserve -- 24% Not deserve -- 64% Own Representative Deserve -- 44% Not deserve -- 46%

I really enjoyed this! I made a handful of substitutions inspired by my morning oatmeal:
Started at step 4:
1 c of gala apples
1/3 c of pecans (in lieu of dates & raisins)
1/2 c apple butter
& clove honey for my sweetener
They're really tasty! But next time I plan to add at least 2x as much honey. Thanks Sarah!
Hi Sarah! Thank you for posting these. I saw this recipe this morning on the www.recipe4living.com website and was all set to post them and VOILA, here they are! Awesome...Thanks for taking the time to post this recipe and congratulations on your Blue Ribbon!
We liked these. Used whole wheat flour instead of white. Next time, I would add more cinnamon. Another keeper! Thanks Sarah J!

The CityLYNX Gold Line is a 10-mile streetcar system that is an integral part of the 2030 Transit Plan and is being constructed in phases. The alignment will connect through Charlotte's central business district and serves as a critical economic development driver that focuses on growth along key corridors. It will also connect neighborhoods to community interests such as businesses, healthcare facilities, entertainment centers, educational institutions and much more. The CityLYNX Gold Line will serve as a critical connection for the efficient and robust operation of Charlotte's overall transit system.
Construction for the CityLYNX Gold Line - Phase 1 began in December 2012. This phase, opened in summer 2015, provides a 1.5-mile route from the Charlotte Transportation Center on Trade Street to Novant Hospital at Hawthorne Lane and Fifth Street. The 1.5 mile alignment has six stops, including a connection to the LYNX Blue Line. Learn more about riding the CityLYNX Gold Line by visiting CATS website: www.RideTransit.org
Phase 2 will
extend the Phase 1 segment by 2.5 miles on the east and west ends of the line
creating an interim system for 4 miles. CityLYNX Gold Line Phase 2 will extend
west 2 miles from Charlotte Transportation Center to French Street and east
one-half mile along Hawthorne Lane from Presbyterian Hospital to Sunnyside
Phase 2 will
serve as an engine for economic growth by providing effective and efficient
transit operations, connecting key neighborhoods and maximizing development
opportunities. Modern streetcar vehicles will replace replica trolleys with the
option of purchasing hybrid technology vehicles.
Phase 2 is set to begin construction in fall 2016. Learn more about Phase 2 road closures and project updates.
Estimated cost: $150
million (provided through 50/50 federal match)
City Local Match: Non-Property Tax Capital Funding – Capital
funding to cover the City's 50% would come from unallocated and contingent
capital accounts within the revenue sources, other than property taxes.
Phase 2 was included in President Obama's FY2016
budget for $75 million after the FTA's Small Starts evaluation resulted in the
project being rated medium/high.

The game is becoming too easy for LeBron James, who put up another monstrous effort in the Miami Heat's 107-97 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday.
Let's look at some of the storylines to emerge from that victory.
Unstoppable in-close
James went 8-of-10 inside 10 feet on Sunday and has now gone 37-of-44 in his last five games from that distance.
James has made at least 75 percent of those attempts in each of his last five games, something he hadn't done more than two games in a row previously this season.
James is shooting 70.5 percent from that range, best in the NBA this season. For those curious—the next two shooters from that close are Nick Collison and Boris Diaw.
LeBron 1-on-1
James was in isolation on nine plays Sunday, generating 12 points on 4-of-7 shooting, drawing three shooting fouls.
Over his last five games, James has shot 72 percent when in isolation, a jump from his 46.4 rate on those shots in the first 43 games of the season.
LeBron vs Kobe
James improved to 13-6 all-time in games played against Kobe Bryant. Among the game's most notable players, James is the one who has given Bryant the most trouble.
Bryant is 14-6 all-time in the regular season against Kevin Durant, 30-14 against Dirk Nowitzki, 16-11 against Carmelo Anthony, and 13-9 against Paul Pierce.
Is this the best he's ever played?
This marks the 10th time James has scored at least 30 points in 5 straight games.
LeBron's Best 5-Game Stretches
His longest streak is a 10-game stretch he had in the spring of 2006.
But it's not just the scoring … it's the efficiency with which he's done it.
His five straight games with at least 60 percent shooting from the floor is the longest such streak of his career
James is shooting 71 percent from the field in this stretch, the best he's shot in any five-game stretch in his career.
Dynamic Duo
The Elias Sports Bureau notes that James and Dwyane Wade became the fourth pair of teammates to each score 30 points and shoot 65 percent or better from the field against the Lakers in a single game.
The other three were Walt Bellamy and Gus Johnson (1964 Bullets), Alex English and Dan Issel (1982 Denver Nuggets), and Mike Miller and Pau Gasol (2007 Memphis Grizzlies).

Anyone had experience of managing C# based projects with Maven?
If yes , please tell me a few words about it , how weird would it be to create such a setup.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Maven is language agnostic and it should be possible to use it with other languages than Java, including C#. For example, the Maven Compiler Plugin can be configured to use the
But Java is getting most attention and man power and there is not much done with other languages. So, while using Maven with C# is in theory possible, I wouldn't expect much support and feedback from the community (i.e. in case of problem, you'll be alone). I don't know if using Maven for C# would thus be a good idea. I wouldn't recommend it actually (I may be wrong of course).
I work with a suite of C# and C++ components and applications that are dependency-managed via maven. The general rule of "If it can be done via command-line, it can be done in maven" holds, so we end up having a lot of .bat, .exe and powershell "glue" to get all the pieces playing together.
The biggest problem with using maven for a Microsoft stack is a complete lack of familiarity with the build/deployment/ALM cycle for ANY new developer. You can find many developers with MSBuild, TFSBuild, ANT, etc., experience, but it's a rare thing to find a C# or C++ dev who's worked with maven in a pure Microsoft shop. The rollout of maven for dependency management and build process is consequently extremely difficult, since you end up spending a LOT of time training developers (what's the difference between a snapshot and a release?), over-componentizing the product then scaling it back to get it right, etc.
I've also found that we've had to work around maven to do something resembling continuous integration and continuous delivery. About 70% of our technology stack is C# (the rest being C++), and we want to deploy most of that to QA servers every single night with the latest-and-greatest code by default. To balance the value of release builds vs. dev productivity via snapshots, we ended up constructing a build process where we create a release build of every component each night, followed by a snapshot build. This let the developers not have to worry about bumping POMs to consume snapshots in the morning. Overall, it's a royal pain, at least for someone coming from robust continuous integration, "build and deploy everything" environments.
Maven holds a lot of promise for dependency management and isolating breaking changes (particularly in interface components where the consumer and producer have to agree). Those problems have been solved other ways (svn externs, deployment builds, interface version management, etc.). But it is relatively nice to download any component, run "mvn compile", and see the code compile (assuming a basic level of build portability). For me, though, the overhead and the meta-conversations about getting the build right (as opposed to focusing on customer value) minimize the value of maven overall.
You might also check out NPanday (it is a project I am involved in). While it still needs some work to more closely align to Maven's best practices, it is the most complete and active alternative available now. One feature that is unique to it is the existence of a Visual Studio Add-in for generating the correct
There is a NMaven project at codeplex but it doesn't seem to be active or popular. See also these questions:
maven-compiler-plugin with plexus-compiler-csharp works just fine with the following configuration. Of course you'll have to point to an actual C# compiler on your machine with the "executable" parameter.

Nathan Baker gives everyone the silent treatment at Bodymoor Heath - and Paul Lambert is more than happy for that to continue.
Lambert says Baker is unassuming and inconspicuous outside of his natural habitat on the pitch.
But importantly he's letting his football do all the talking.
Baker's performance at Liverpool was terrific, excelling in the three-man backline at Anfield.
And his first-half block to deny Jonjo Shelvey with the game locked was a big moment in the game.
Lambert said: "Nathan is a really unassuming lad, very quiet. He doesn't say two words to you.
"But let's be fair to him, he's performing fantastically well. His block in the first-half was great. It was brilliant at a really big moment in the game."
Lambert was quick to praise the back three, containing Baker, for the way they put a stop on Liverpool's most expressive players like Luis Suarez.
Lambert accepts that Christian Benteke and Andreas Weimann will take the headlines but believes the backline deserve "special mention."
He added: "The lads overall defended resolutely and strongly. The back three lads are just getting better and better in my opinion. I have no praise high enough for them! They have been brilliant.
"They did it again at Anfield. They were up against a real exceptional side in Liverpool who were in exceptional form. Coming to Anfield is always tough so the way we played and the way we're looking, it's brilliant.
"It augurs well for the future as we build this club. That's what we are trying to do.
"But the back three lads were absolutely brilliant.
"This will give them great belief. Even against Manchester United, if we could have just hung on… we gave a good account of ourselves.
"If we keep progressing, we could become a really good side.
"The back three were outstanding. They probably won't get the credit they deserve because of the goals but I think they deserve a special mention, along with Brad Guzan."
Make sure you back the boys against Tottenham.

Reviews for Operation Asha
Dear Nicholas,
I can understand your frustration at the prospect of losing.
Operation ASHA has built a huge constituency of followers and supporters in the past few years. We got over 8000 votes in a competition in 2009. In 2010, we were leaders in a number of online matching grant campaigns in which hundreds of NGOs participated. Just a month ago, we competed against about 20 other nonprofits for an online challenge grant competition. We obtained more than 50% of the entire amount of challenge grant.
This base has been built over years with investment of substantial time and effort on the part of hundreds of volunteers, supported by a dedicated core team.
I will appreciate if you could check facts before making unsavory comments.
Thank you for giving us an opportunity to clarify our position.
Sandeep Ahuja
