Many artists have practiced and revived aspects of the original Expressionism movement since its decline in the 1920s, but the most famous return to Expressionism was inaugurated by Georg Baselitz, who led a revival that dominated German art in the 1970s. By the 1980s, this resurgence had become part of an international return to the sensuousness of painting - and away from the cool, distant sparseness of Minimalism and Conceptualism. Very different artists, from Julian Schnabel and Francesco Clemente to Jean-Michel Basquiat, turned in expressive directions to create work that affirmed the redemptive power of art in general and painting in particular, drawing upon a variety of themes including the mythological, the cultural, the historical, the nationalist, and the erotic.
Origins in Germany
Neo-Expressionism arrived in Germany with great controversy when Georg Baselitz opened an exhibition in West Berlin in 1963. The contents of the show were quickly confiscated by the State Attorney on the grounds of indecency; one picture contained a figure masturbating, while another had a male figure with an erection. His later exhibitions wouldn't attract such extreme reactions, but the iconography of giant, primitive "heroes," and the use of expressionistic figuration in his early pictures, soon drew notice in an art world that seemed to be moving away from such imagery, and even painting in general, judged by the popularity of Pop art, Fluxus, and Minimalism.
By the late 1970s, Baselitz was at the head of a loose-knit group of German artists known as Neue Wilden (the 'New Fauves'). Associated with the label were artists such as Anselm Kiefer, Markus Lupertz, Eugen Schonebeck, and A.R. Penck. Taking as their inspiration the early Expressionist works of George Grosz, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, and Edvard Munch, the action paintings of Willem de Kooning, and the late quasi-abstract figurative paintings of Pablo Picasso, they together found a new vitality in figurative painting.
Precursors in USA
This period also saw the beginnings of a widespread return to painting, particularly in Europe, but also in the United States. For many, it was considered liberating to create art in this traditional manner, combining abstract and figurative forms, and drawing on a range of earlier styles. An important precursor in the United States was Philip Guston, originally an Abstract Expressionist, who returned to figurative work in the late 1960s in a bold, and raw expressive style. Guston was particularly influential; in the late 1960s, he had become disenchanted with abstract painting and developed a style shaped in part by cartoons, and in part by social realism. Throughout the 1970s he constructed strange painterly combinations of enigmatic and figurative forms. Historians have also pointed to the paintings of Leon Golub (e.g. his Vietnam series from 1973) as precursors to the Neo-Expressionists. Golub addressed the socio-political upheavals in America in a similarly emotional and brutish style.
But the movement eventually became very broad, and the artists who came to be associated with it ranged widely in their interests. Some older artists such as Francis Bacon were claimed as predecessors, while others associated with American trends of the 1970s, such as "New Image Painting," were also linked to Neo-Expressionism.
Concepts and Styles
Since the advent of Abstract Expressionism, painting had become increasingly less focused on subject matter, and more concerned with form. Pop art had re-introduced a concern with subject matter of a particular kind, but Neo-Expressionism inaugurated a new return to romantic subjects. Some drew on myth and history, while others on primitivism and natural imagery. The first use of the term Neo-Expressionism is undocumented, but by 1982 it was being widely used to describe new German and Italian art, also happening to be a testament to the end of United States domination of the postwar art world.
Neo-Expressionism in Germany
Baselitz was from East Germany, but moved to West Berlin in 1956. Though he had been a rebellious student in East Germany, his Neo-Expressionism looked to East rather than West German stylistic influence. The historian and art critic Edward Lucie-Smith has commented on this and written succinctly on the history of the movement; Expressionism became the official style of East Germany after WWII because of the hostility shown by the Nazis to the original German Expressionists. A.R. Penck was also from East Germany. Both Baselitiz and Penck, though pioneers of the new expressive art, were in some ways not always typical of it. Both were interested in the "how" of painting rather than the "why," in method rather than content. Penck created a language of graphic signs that looked back to Picasso and forward to such Graffiti artists as Keith Haring. In 1967, Baselitz started painting his figures upside down, more to point out how the painting was done rather than what it meant (at least in any detailed way). Other members of the Neo-Expressionist group used their work to examine Germany and the problems of its recent history. For these artists, the return to Expressionism was part of a more general shift in society towards addressing the country's troubled modern history. In connecting with a style that pre-dated World War II, Georg Baselitz and Markus Lupertz seemed to be trying to overcome, at least to some extent, the legacy of the Nazis. However, the principle example of transcending the Nazi years would be the work of Anselm Kiefer. Some German Neo-Expressionist art was also openly political as in the work of Jorg Immendorf who turned his attention to the problems of a divided Germany.
Neo-Expressionism in Italy
The Italian version of Neo-Expressionism is often referred to as the Trans-Avantgarde, a term invented in 1979 by the Italian critic Achille Bonito Olivia. The idea, according to Bonito, was to escape the sparseness of the Arte Povera movement in Italy. There is a strong element of parody, therefore, in Italian Neo-Expressionist painting, which can be seen in the "mock-heroic" work of Sandro Chia, for example. Francesco Clemente, though Italian, left Italy to divide his time between India and New York, and absorbing specific stylistic influences from those settings. The most traditionally Expressionistic of the group (and closest to the Germans in style) is Enzo Cucchi. The work of Mimmo Paladino is described as more individual and more Italian, with his work alluding to ancient Italian sources.
Neo-Expressionism in the USA
As of the early 1980s, American artists entered the Neo-Expressionist arena. The artists usually associated with American Neo-Expressionism are the group of New York-based artists that includes Eric Fischl, who emphasized human psychology, and Julian Schnabel, who summoned historical imagery to create highly personal works. Sometimes associated with Neo-Expressionism was the arrival of graffiti art in the galleries. This was particularly significant in New York, where Jean-Michel Basquiat became known for his aggressive brush strokes, broad splatters of paint and emotionally-charged subject matter. In many respects, Basquiat - alongside Julian Schnabel - became the poster child for the Neo-Expressionist movement of the 1980s: a self-styled primitive who was eagerly welcomed by the decadent and upscale art world.
The 1980s was a time of great affluence and unabashed consumerism, when the New York art market grew exponentially and the selling prices for contemporary art reached seemingly absurd heights. Rather than reject this environment of commodification, or isolate themselves from the art world, as had many Abstract Expressionists, Basquiat and Schnabel embraced the glitter and the noise fully.
Later Developments
Thus, Neo-Expressionism dominated the art market in Europe and the United States until the mid-1980s. However, there is some debate about the ways in which the later developments of Neo-Expressionism played themselves out. Some think that through the artwork of Julian Schnabel, Francesco Clemente, and others, Neo-Expressionism had become synonymous with the more conservative trends in the art of the 1980s rather than with the avant-garde. Even though many of the movement's artists incorporated political and cultural content, few were interested in the leftist politics associated with a contemporary trend, critical Postmodernism. They did not feel obliged to glorify the world or "tamper with reality," as Clemente once put it, but simply to work with form and depict the world as it existed, in all its harshness and ugliness. This led to vibrant discussions on the value and purpose of painting, in which Neo-Expressionism was often held up as an example of all that was wrong with the medium.
Nevertheless, this criticism did little to dampen the style's success, and its decline was a result of the movement's over-production and the collapse of the market at the end of the 1980s. Artists, critics, and the art market -- all intent on making money and/or reputations -- conspired to hasten its end. Scholars have not yet sorted out the exact placement of Neo-Expressionism in the art historical narrative. Some see the movement as a kind of late manifestation of modernism, while others see it as the end of modernism. Theorists Arthur Danto and Frederic Jameson place it within the context of postmodernism with its self-aware, surface-oriented banality and use of pastiche. And there are others who emphasize Neo-Expressionism's role in the transition from modernism to postmodernism, pointing to the two major artists whose work persisted through the collapse of the 1980s art bubble: Sigmar Polke and Gerhard Richter. True to the postmodernist stance of pluralism and eclecticism, both of these artists were able to simultaneously sustain multiple styles, including the traditional application of paint, even if tongue-in-cheek and thus more conceptually based. Enthusiasm for Neo-Expressionism was being subsumed by emerging discussions of, for example, the need for the inclusion of more female artists as well as new directions in appropriation.

President Barack Obama's budget charges Federal CIO Steve VanRoekel with spearheading improvements to IT acquisition and delivery, one of 15 cross-agency priority goals highlighted.
President Barack Obama's fiscal 2015 budget request includes a slate of 15 cross-agency priority (CAP) goals, with IT reform and security at the top of the list. The two most prominent government IT failures of 2013 – the buggy launch of HealthCare.gov and the leak of top secret signal intelligence program documents by contractor Edward Snowden – appear to be driving the latest priorities.
Top presidential cybersecurity advisor Michael Daniel is taking the lead on an effort to protect government networks, and developing metrics to measure success – a continuation and update of the 2013 Cybersecurity CAP Goal.
The effort includes continuous monitoring of government networks, improving anti-phishing and malware defense through technologies and training, and the development of a system for credentialing feds and contractors with the goal of making sure users "have access to only those resources that are required for their job function," according to the Performance.gov website.
The new section on access looks to be a particular outgrowth of the Snowden disclosures, and it comports with a recommendation of the President's Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies that advised creating a category of "administrative access" for IT personnel accessing classified systems that gives them access to work on systems and software, without providing, "unnecessary access to substantive policy or intelligence material."
Security clearance reform is a related priority, with Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, OPM Director Katherine Archuleta and cybersecurity advisor Daniel taking the lead. The goals include improving oversight and quality of background checks, creating an insider threat detection program, improving automation of threat detection, and trimming the backlog of rechecks of potential high-risk cases.
Federal CIO Steve VanRoekel is leading the charge to improve IT acquisition and delivery, with the assistance of CTO Todd Park and Veterans Affairs Deputy Secretary Sloan Gibson. The administration wants to look outside the community of federal IT contractors to include small, innovative companies, while expanding hiring authority and contract flexibility. One key change will be using the CIO's shop inside the Office of Management and Budget as an incubator for new models and templates for government websites. It also appears that a reform of the TechStat and PortfolioStat review system is in the offing.
The open data goal, articulated in previous CAP documents, has been updated. Metrics are a big part of the new iteration, with the administration promising to measure the economic impact of data released by the government, the impact on the delivery of government services, and any improvements to internal government efficiency.
More generally, the goals reflect the data-driven management agenda announced by Obama in July 2013 and further developed in the budget released March 4. They include efforts to drive the use of shared services at agencies in financial management, human resources, technology and acquisition, and a plan to extend the Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative to IT purchasing and other areas.

Kris Jenner to Scott Disick: Stop Sucking!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
The day after Keeping Up with the Kardashians set an E! ratings record with 4.8 million viewers, Kris Jenner spoke to the network that made her family famous and focused on the unit's most obvious black sheep:
Scott Disick.
The mother of Khloe and Kim Kardashian has made her feelings on Kourtney's baby daddy clear, often mocking his status as an "entrepreneur" and urging Scott to find something he's "passionate about."
You know, like feeding your children unhealthy weight loss supplements.
"I want someone who's dedicated to Kourtney and the baby, who has something to get up for every day - not just get up and go get a tan in the backyard," Kris told E! News."It's not just success monetarily. It's finding something you love to do. I'm as hard on Rob as I am on Scott. I set the bar really high and expect a lot out of my kids."
The show finished filming over nine months ago and Jenner says "a lot's happened since." This would include the raising of Mason Dash, Scott and Kourtney's adorable son.
Kris adds that "when you date one of my kids, you date all of us" and she means that literally: no way you're courting anyone in that family without signing an E! contract.
Kris Jenner Kardashian is such a whore, and a whore pimp for the rest of her family. Bruce is ballless or he would've left this miserable woman a long time ago. She should be in jail. She is a terrible mother and wife and a danger to society.
Dan Tillman - you are disgusting... HOW DARE YOU refer to Khloe and Kim's boyfrineds using that term.
Shame on you - you're a poor excuse for a human being! Rot... and to the moderator.. how dare you publish that comment!
SHAME on YOU
That poor sweet little baby. He is adorable.I think Mr. Disick is just playing a part. Every move these people make is designed for publicity and to launch an equally silly spin-off. I mean Kim takes on "Playby"? Barf. Very orchestrated.
Hellion, I love your comment! I was wondering exactly the same thing. I guess having a freakishly outsized ass and making a sex tape qualify as some sort of public service!
Scott is a slick hair no good for nothing guy. He is not a man. What does he do for a living before he got the little job that he has now. He drives nice cars and he dresses ok at times. Kourt needs to run like hell away from that loser. He has cheated many of times on her. Why do she put up with his dog mess. (shit) Hellion what does the color of Kim an Khloe men has to do with Scott being a loser? Get over the color of people skin. If you work and bring home the bacon who cares what color your skin is. Scott is a no good for nothing slick hair fool who needs to go on. The chicks that is fooling around with him is stupid. You go Kris you are those girls mother that is your job to run looser off when they are not good enough to be with your girls. I am going to do the same thing with my daughter.
Baby Mason does not like look Scott. He looks like that model she was seeing when her and scott were apart. Compare baby mason picture with model face picture they look like.
it's not hard to understand why kris has anger in her voice when talking to scott. he's the nightmare of every mother who has a daughter. how would scott be able to live without kourtney taking care of him...where would he go, what would he do, would he even be able to buy a bottle of water? what a total parasite! we all get only one dad in our lives, and little mason does not deserve to be stuck with this loser for the rest of his. my heart breaks for all of them (except scott) and i trust that kourtney will soon realize that she deserves so much more in life. she doesn't deserve to settle for the crumbs she gets from scott
He just looks creepy to me. Like he wakes up and watches Kourtney while she sleeps while he pulls his own hair out.
There's a slacker in every family, and if you don't have one, I guarantee your adult children is going to find one, and bring "em"
in on family.If the family don't like "em" married or not, the slacker is there to stay.The slacker may not fit in, but the adult children makes "em" blend in with the family.Since little babies are like pennies from heaven,this charmer is like sticky glue,he ain't going nowhere except The Kardashian's compound!!
Maybe he could make a sex tape, you know, show some pa$$ion.

Missile launcher turned in during Seattle's Gun BuybackJanuary 26, 2013 @ 3:30 pm (Updated: 3:42 pm - 1/26/13 )
A nonfunctional missile launcher was among the weapons that showed up Saturday at a gun buyback event in Seattle.
The military weapon was a single-use device that had already been used, according the Seattle PI. Another person in line offered bought the launcher, which police confiscated for a short time then returned after determining it was non-functioning.
Seattle police say the gun buyback program ended early because of the large crowd. After two hours more than 160 guns had been turned in and $35,000 in gift cards had been distributed.
Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn and other leaders have praised the buyback effort, saying it will reduce gun violence. But statistics show a previous effort in Seattle failed to do that.
After a similar effort in 1992, the average number of firearms-related murders increased in Seattle.
The police department says over the weekend, they will tally up the total number of weapons turned in and gift cards distributed. The Mayor's Office will announce the total on Monday morning. listen to Seattle's Morning News - 97.3 KIRO FM - 5-9 Monday for the results.
Then the guns will be sent to Gun hell, where weapons collected in Seattle go to die.

Don't bite into these to release the contents unless you like having your entire mouth and lips stain orange-brown and the feeling that all moisture has been removed from your mouth for the next hour! Take the capsules whole as directed! Can't say they did much for me.

Did they ever laugh at you ? why do you think they will laugh ? If they laugh at all, you also laugh with them. it's not a big deal. I have been laughed at and believe me , life doesn't stop because of that. I will tell you a secret. 90% of your classmates are also nervous like you. they may not be showing, but they are also nervous. when you are thinking what they will think of you, they are worrying what you will think of them. so when your turn comes, speak whatever you think. It is easier than saying something you think others will approve. If you know the debate subject beforehand, prepare before the debate. read up about the subject so that you will have something to say. Even for extempore, you can prepare about possible topics.

Well, my answer to this question this week is � 360 minutes of exercise in seven days, and 4 lbs lost. Not bad, eh?
I weighed in at 168.2 lbs on Sunday, April 7. I had finished a busy week with travel (meeting in Toronto April 1 - 3) and three baseball games (think hot dogs, popcorn and drinking). I had weighed 165.0 on April 1. I was NOT happy.
I got my butt to the gym at 10:45 that morning and did an hour of zumba (11 � 12), followed by an hour of yin yoga (12:15 � 1:15). Yin yoga involves holding deep stretches for long periods of time; I think we did a total of four poses that class. I started tracking my food again that day, too.
Monday, despite a headache, I got to interval box after work (5:30 � 6:30). I tracked my food and went a little over � a friend was celebrating 1 year of business at his pizza place, so I picked some up for dinner to support.
Tuesday, despite lady pains, I got to Crossfit bootcamp (7 � 8). I tracked my food.
Wednesday, I got to zumba. I also ate more than I should that day � we went out to celebrate a coworker�s promotion and got an appetizer and dessert. I didn�t track lunch, but I know I went over.
Thursday, I rested (whew.) and tracked.
Friday, despite a long and boring day, and the temptation to leave early (everyone started clearing out around 4 p.m.), I stuck around and went to bootcamp after work (5:30 � 6:30). I tracked everything up to and including dinner�but not the drinks or late-night sweet potato fries.
Saturday, I rested. And rested. Honestly, I slept in until about 10:30, and then napped from about 4 � 6. We went out for dinner that night with a gift card. I didn�t track.
Sunday, I went to the gym for my double-header again, and tracked. Felt damn good.
Stepped on the scale this morning, and saw 164.0. Four down from last Sunday. One down from April 1. I�m also down inches � 1.75 to be exact. I�ll be honest � I dreaded some of my workouts last week. I tried to talk myself out of them. I wanted to indulge in unhealthy foods. I had mental battles � and I did end up treating myself to a medium ice cream from Marble Slab following Saturday�s dinner. But I kept telling myself � no excuses. If I choose to attend or not attend an exercise class, I consciously had to make that choice. And that made all the difference. I may have dreaded some workouts, but I don�t regret a single one. And seeing the results of last week, I�m motivated to keep up the effort this week.
What are you going to accomplish this week? I challenge you to own your decisions � no excuses. If you are going to skip a workout, own it. If you are going to indulge, own it.
This is the second time it's happened - I get overwhelmingly busy near the end of the year, and have an absolutely insane first quarter. My sleep suffers, my nutrition suffers, my exercise suffers, and my stress level skyrockets. I've got a plan now to reduce this for end of 2013, but in the meantime, I'm finally getting back into my routine.
Since the weekend (including the weekend), I've tracked my food. I've tracked every morsel that's crossed my lips since Sunday morning. I went a little over on Sunday, but I've been in range since.
In the last three days, I've logged 240 fitness minutes.
120 on Sunday: a 60-minute zumba class, followed immediately by a 60-minute yoga class (yin).
60 on Monday: a 60-minute boxing class right after work
70 today: a 60-minute crossfit bootcamp in the evening.
Sunday felt good. Like, D@MN good. Stretching out for an hour after working up a sweat dancing was glorious. Monday's workout was kicked off with a headache, but I powered through it, and worked up an awesome sweat. And today, I worked from home from 11:30 on due to some lady discomfort, but felt well enough to make it to crossfit, which was amazing and awful all at the same time.
I feel back to my old self again. My fit, health-oriented self.
And it feels WONDERFUL.
A friend said something in our spark team recently (shout-out to _trixie_!) that really struck me, and got my butt to crossfit tonight. I'm paraphrasing, but basically she said, "what could you accomplish if you let go of excuses?"
I could have used my discomfort earlier today to justify skipping crossfit, but I would have regretted it. I made a conscious decision to not let excuses get in my way.
I could have decided that since I didn't pack a lunch Sunday or Monday night, I needed to buy something convenient for lunch on Monday and Tuesday. Instead, I packed lunches in the morning, and stuck with them.
So....what could YOU accomplish if you let go of excuses?
Over the last year, three things have caused me considerable stress:
1. Money
2. Weight gain
3. Work
I don't know why it took until now to realize it, but these things are linked in a big way.
Forgive me if this is obvious for you - feel free to skip the rest of this blog - but I think it's important to acknowledge links and patterns.
Here's the thought process:
1. I have a great job, but it fluctuates from overwhelmingly busy to dead slow, depending on the time of year. In the first and last quarter, it's not unusual for me to work 10-hour days - 9-hour days consistently.
2. At the end of a long day, it's not unusual to dread cooking.�It feels a heck of a lot easier to pick up dinner (even if it doesn't save time, because, let's face it, it takes the same amount of time to cook it)
4. I pick up dinner on the way home, and often it's a single serving meal (I.e no leftovers) - depending on whether it's just for me or for me and the man, that ranges from $15-40
5. No leftovers = no lunch to bring to work with me, so I pick something up, hurry back to the office and get back to work. That ranges from $5-15.
6. At the end of a long week, I want to relax all weekend, and, let's face it, there's a good chance I'm working at least a few hours on Sunday. I don't find time to get to the grocery store (and not motivated - I'm not cooking because I don't perceive that I have enough time, so it will just go to waste anyways, right?)
7. I don't have groceries at home, so I don't have breakfast food to make before leaving for work
8. I end up picking up a bagel/muffin on my way to work. That ranges from $1.50-7
What does this mean?�
- I need to work on my work-life balance
- I've been eating my money
- poor nutrition habits and stress on their own can cause weight gain....put them together and your odds are twice as bad
- I need to remember how much I enjoy home cooked meals - doing so will save my wallet AND my waistline
This month, my nutritional goal was to eat my own cooking more than other people's (the man not included). The first two weeks were pretty dismal, I won't lie. This week, however, something clicked.
I haven't bought breakfast this week. I bought a coffee at Tim Hortons on Monday partway through an hour drive en route to an off-site meeting (I needed to use their facilities), and a latte on Wednesday en route to work. I'm not going to lie, it was very tempting to just buy a muffin with the latte, but I overcame it before leaving home and made a smoothie.
I have not bought lunch all week. My meeting on Monday was over lunch, so I had the pizza provided. I stuck to two slices and skipped the wings and garlic bread. Tuesday I had a lunch and learn, but I stuck with half a turkey sandwich on whole wheat with salad.
I have eaten home-cooked dinners every night since (and including) Saturday. Not always the healthiest - Monday was tacos, tonight was pulled pork in BBQ sauce - but homemade, which was the goal.
In addition to all of this, I've made at least two brand-new recipes since January 1. A chicken recipe, and waffles.
How's it going? Well, on Thursday last week I saw 164 on the scale (granted, it was following a day that included all-you-can-eat sushi). I've weighed in every day since, not due to obsession, but to motivate myself to stay on track. This morning I saw 157.6. I'd say my waistline's happier. And I can guarantee my wallet is. Work's still stressful, but I'll keep working at it. In the meantime, st least I'm not letting an intense workload keep me from planning, grocery shopping, or cooking.
Funny how things can be related, huh?
The last time I did this, I went from 182 lbs (when I finally stepped on a scale; I wouldn�t be surprised if it had been higher at some point) to 142 from March 2009 to June 2010. That time, I started out by keeping a food journal, getting to know my kitchen, and doing cardio � walking on the treadmill, and getting on the exercise bike. I dropped the first 24 lbs that way. Then I found SparkPeople. My goal was to reach 150 lbs � I dropped the last 8 lbs relatively quickly as I incorporated strength training and started tracking calories. I dropped another 8 over the course of 5 months to 142 lbs. During the entire period, I was working as a receptionist � set hours, low income, plenty of time for exercise and cooking.
I maintained at about 145 for just over a year. Then my life changed pretty drastically � for the better, but also for the busier. In addition to other things (became single, moved, etc.), I got a promotion � a permanent full-time job in marketing, where hours are no longer set, better money....and less time for exercise and cooking. During a very stressful summer and adjustment period � single in June 2011, started the new job July 1, moved mid-August, I gained about 8 lbs and got up to 150. Then, in December 2011, I met the man. Lots of wining and dining, more and more time spent together, and exercise took a back seat. Over the course of 2012, I gained 12 lbs.
Enter 2013. New year, new (or improved) Mags. I'm moving all of my stuff into storage on Saturday. I'm already living with the man, and we're both ready to get rid of some extra weight. My goal is to get down to 150 again this year.
I've been working in marketing for just over a year and a half. That's a year and a half of buying more and more premade (take out/restaurant) food, a year and a half of reduced exercise. A year and a half of long hours � Friday, I was at my desk from 7:45 a.m. to 6:15 p.m. I took 5 minutes to reheat my lunch and got back to work. I could take the attitude that this is how my life could be.
Or I could accept the challenge and make it work.
Game plan:
This month, my goal is to eat better. It�s been too easy to slip into the habit of grabbing a latte and a muffin on my way in to work; to run out and pick up lunch (sometimes it�s the only way I get away from my desk); to drag myself home after a long day and grab a pizza en route. I�m making slow progress in terms of eating better; making more of my meals. My goal this week is to eat maximum one breakfast, lunch and dinner out between now and Friday.
In the fall, I more or less managed to get to my boxing class on Mondays and zumba on Wednesdays. In December, due to illness, I worked out once. My eventual goal, which I�m working up to, is to go to boxing on Monday (60 minutes), yoga on Tuesday (90 minutes), zumba on Wednesday (60 minutes), run on Thursday (40 minutes), and a gym session (cardio + strength training, 90 minutes) on Saturday. A total of 340 minutes/week. Last week, I managed boxing and zumba. This week, I�ll get to yoga and zumba, as well as a gym session. In addition to my workouts, I�ve been doing a progressive plank and push-up challenge � 10 second plank, 1 push-up on January 1st, 20 seconds, 2 push-ups on January 2nd, and so on. Today, I did a 90 second + 50 second plank, and 14 push-ups.
Life�s still busy. This month has largely been dedicated to cleaning and packing; in February, it�ll largely be dedicated to travel (3 weeks in a row!), but I�ll make it work. It�s all about balance and prioritizing. And the fact that the man has similar goals makes things easier.
Time to make my health a priority again. Work is not the most important part of my life. I�ve got everything I need now....now I just need to balance it all. I think I�m up for the challenge.
In fact, I know I am.
I�ll admit, I completely slacked on the Italy Part II blog�I can�t believe it took me four months to write and post it! Anyways without further delay, the rest of my trip recap:
Thursday morning we got up bright and early to finish packing and get our apartment tidy before returning the keys and hiking to the train station. Remember how we walked *everywhere* on our trip? We both had big hiking backpacks with daypacks strapped on them. We turned in our keys and started our hike � windy with a lot of uphill parts. We�d given ourselves plenty of time to ensure we wouldn�t get lost or miss our train; if we missed one we were in trouble, because I�d pre-purchased all of our tickets. We got to the train station almost an hour early, had a croissant and caff� (latte for me, Americano for the man), then boarded. We�d purchased first class tickets to Pisa, and shared a car with a couple from Australia and one from New Zealand. The three hour train ride went by relatively quickly, as we talked the whole time. In Pisa, we said goodbye.
We checked our luggage for a pittance (seriously, I think it was maybe 6 or 7 euros for both backpacks??) and got a map, then hit the sidewalk. We stopped by a caf� a block away from the train station, bought a couple sandwiches (I can still remember the mozzarella � sooooo good!) and Coca Cola Lights and headed for the Leaning Tower. We took a wrong turn when we trusted a street sign over the map, but quickly got back on track, and made it in just under 30 minutes.
How crazy is that lean??
We grabbed a spot in the shade of the tower and ate our lunch, laughing at all the tourists taking their cheesy photos pushing the tower over or holding it up, knowing full well that we�d be doing the exact same thing after we were done eating.
I wasn�t joking. Cheesy. Photo.
After wandering around for about an hour, we headed back to the station. We had a train to La Spezia (pronounced Spetcha) to catch after 3 hours in Pisa, and didn�t want to miss it�or we�d miss our connection to Vernazza in Cinque Terre. We made it back in plenty of time, so I got a gelato (God, I miss stracciatella gelato�mmmmmmmmm). Then we discovered our train was delayed, and a little bit of panic set in.
The train arrived in La Spezia about 25 minutes behind schedule, 5 minutes after the train to Vernazza was scheduled to depart. We had to print our official tickets at a machine in La Spezia although I�d already paid for them � luckily the ticket was actually valid for any train going to Vernazza that day. As our tickets were printing, the man looked at the schedule and realized that our train hadn�t departed yet. I�m not going to lie, as soon as he said that I started running, the man right on my heels. We got to the platform as the doors were closing, but a wonderful man held one open for us. We joked later that this was our �Amazing Race� day.
At the end of the �Amazing Race�, as the train�s pulling into Vernazza.
Cinque Terre (pronounced Cheenkway Terray) literally means �five towns�. There are five towns along the coast � Riomaggiore (�Riomaggioray�), Manarola, Corniglia (�Cornelia�), Vernazza and Monterosso. We stayed in Vernazza, in a tiny room overlooking the main square and the harbour. Stepping off the train was like stepping into a storybook. Vernazza is beautiful. We continued our tradition of eating every meal outside by enjoying the dish of the region that night � trofie al pesto. It�s a handmade pasta with very few ingredients (seriously, like flour, water and one other one I�m forgetting) that is rolled into a shape that resembles a small green bean, tossed in homemade pesto (the basil in this region is AMAZING). It was delicious. I�ve already found a recipe online and just need to find a day that I can make it. We crashed relatively early that night, since we had a big day ahead of us on Friday.
Friday we got started a little later than originally planned (around 10) but were relieved that the weather was once again cooperating with us. We had breakfast and headed to the train station to buy our Cinque Terre hiking and train pass � a two day pass, 10 euros per person per day. The guy at the train station wouldn�t sell me a two day pass; he told me that it was supposed to storm on Saturday and that the trails would be closed � Saturday was our hike to Monterosso, the beach town, where we planned to spend our afternoon! I bought the one-day passes (which were literally half the price of the two day passes), and we hit the trail to Corniglia.
Looking back at Vernazza
These trails are maintained, but they�re rough. They�re not paved, they�ve been smoothed out and the steps, etc., often have stones to make it easier, and there are (thank goodness) railings in (most) of the dangerous spots. Cinque Terre, while on the coast, is also located in a very mountainous (is that a word?) area. There is a LOT of steep uphill hiking. But the views are sooooo worth it.
We hiked through olive groves, past little terraces with grape vines and lemon trees and tomato plants. We saw a fair number of people, but the trails were by no means crowded, and everyone was very friendly. Despite the fact that we�d hear people approaching us talking English, everyone gave the same greeting, �Buon Giourno� (I apologize, I likely misspelt that). It wasn�t long before I stripped down to my bikini top, it was quite a workout!
Can you see the red face and sweat�and utter happiness?
My guidebook had instructed that it would take us around an hour and a half to get from Vernazza to Corniglia. We did it in an hour and a quarter. We promptly found a caf� and bought a drink and some focaccia with pesto and mozzarella on it�so good!
There was a mudslide in the fall of 2011 that took out the trail from Corniglia to Manarola, so we had to take the train for that leg of the journey. Fun fact #1: Corniglia is the only �Terre� that is not directly on the sea; it�s located on top of a hill overlooking the sea. Fun fact #2: this means that to get to the train station you need to go down over 300 steps. Bear this in mind if you go to Cinque Terre � if you take the train INTO Corniglia, you�ve got to climb those steps. Don�t say you haven�t been warned!
We got into Manarola just after noon. If you�ve ever looked at a book or a post card featuring Cinque Terre, this is the town pictured. See?
We hiked up the trail towards Corniglia out of Manarola to take in the stunning view, then went back into town to pick up a pizza (tomato sauce, mozzarella and pesto � notice a trend here?) and a drink, then headed back up the trail to enjoy the view while we ate. The man took a picture of his �happy place� (sorry I don�t have it here) � me, the *fresh* pesto pizza, and beer. After indulging our eyes and our taste buds, and resting our legs, we hit the trail again.
The trail between Manarola and Riomaggiore is the most finished and accessible. It�s called the Via del l�Amore. It�s honestly like a sidewalk in the most visually stunning place ever. There is a tradition on Via del l�Amore � you bring a lock and key with you and you put the lock somewhere along the trail, then throw your key into the Ligurian Sea. It�s meant to represent your love, which cannot be broken. The man laughed a little at me when I told him about this before our trip but I bought a cheap lock anyways and brought it with us. You should see all the locks. It�s insane. He stopped laughing when he saw them. We put our lock on the trail, then each threw a key in the sea. Afterwards, we realized that there were about half a dozen elderly people sitting on a couple benches watching us. Good thing we didn�t get all sappy and inappropriate!
Placing our lock on the Via del l�Amore.
By the time we got to Riomaggiore (about a 20-minute walk), we were pretty wiped. We didn�t explore much, but found a bar and had a drink or two looking over the waves, before catching the train back to Vernazza. It was very relaxing, and the man practiced his Italian (I did most of the communication on our trip) by ordering himself a beer and asking them what white wine they would recommend for me.
The buildings in Riomaggiore.
We hopped on the train, which was actually a couple minutes early, around 4:30�.and promptly watched it go right by Vernazza. It appears that we didn�t actually catch OUR train, but a direct one to Monterosso (the fifth �Terre�). Luckily, 10 minutes after we arrived in Monterosso there was a train going to Vernazza, so we only got home about 20 minutes later than we expected to. We had a quick siesta, had a delicious dinner and my requisite gelato, and relaxed for the night.
Saturday, we woke up to (thank goodness!) sunny skies. We had our breakfast, bought our hiking and train pass, and hit the trail�or so we thought. We hit a dead end and had to head back to the square. The thing with these trails is that they�re not well marked � the trail to Monterosso literally starts with a narrow alleyway-like staircase out of the main square. Luckily, all of the trails are marked with a red line under a white line, so we found our way pretty quickly.
This hike was CHALLENGING. As we headed out of Vernazza, we were climbing stairs that had my knees at chest height. I have to admit that I pointed out a few �amazing photo opps� to the man just so I could catch my breath (although he had to, too).
Here�s one of those photo opps:
The views were totally worth all the work, though. I had read in the guidebook that travelers felt that this section of the trail was the most dangerous, and there were multiple occasions where we said to each other �THIS must be what they�re talking about�.no, THIS must be.� There were parts of the trail that were less than 20� wide with mountain face on one side and air on the other � and people are coming from both directions! But as long as you�re careful, attentive and wearing good shoes (seriously, some people wore flip flops or strappy sandals!) you�re not in any danger. I thought the hike out of Vernazza was steep, but the last 30 minutes of our hike (an hour and 45 minutes total) was steep downhill between terraces and terraces of grape vines. It would have been brutal to climb them.
Approaching Monterosso
We reached Monterosso just after noon. We bought a couple beach towels and goggles � Monterosso is the most commercial �Terre�, definitely takes advantage of its beaches � and stopped at a restaurant on the beach for a light lunch. I had a mojito (my first non-wine alcoholic beverage of the trip) and a Caprese salad (LOVE Caprese salads) and the man had a Corona (first non-Italian beer of the trip) and prosciutto and melon. We were on the beach, had to have beachy drinks! After eating, we headed down to the beach and rented two loungers and an umbrella (Side note: there are a few free beaches in Italy, but they�re not as nice as the ones you pay for�and we did not want to get burnt!).
The view from our loungers
We swam in the Ligurian Sea twice and relaxed on our loungers for the afternoon. The water was gorgeous � not warm like bath water, but not a shock to the system, either. We talked about our trip and how we wished we could spend more time in Cinque Terre (and I asked for the umpteenth time, �What did we do to deserve this trip??�), and what we would do if we could stay longer. We headed back to Vernazza around 5 and had a siesta, waking up at 7 to discover that the forecast rain had arrived � and left � while we were asleep. Fun fact � we spent all day in swimwear and (sometimes) t-shirts; after the rain, we had to wear jeans and long-sleeved shirts. We still managed to eat outside under an umbrella for dinner, had our gelato and prepared for our travel back to Rome.
Sunday, we slept in a little, handed in our room key by 11, had some breakfast and picked up some souvenirs to bring home � olive oil, pesto, wine stoppers, etc. We caught a slightly early train to La Spezia (experience had me nervous we�d miss our connection to Rome) and said goodbye to the most magical place I�ve ever been. In La Spezia, our train to Rome was slightly late and we had a brief panic when it stopped and we discovered that we were in front of car #8 but had seats in #2�raced up and got on just before the train left. On the four hour train ride, my stress level, which was at an all-time low, climbed a bit as a family with two annoying young children bickered in Italian across the row.
We arrived in Rome around 4:30, strapped on our backpacks and made our way to the Spanish Steps. Our walk took 45 minutes and my stress level spiked � everyone was dawdling and took no notice of the fact that we were both wearing large and heavy hiking bags. We finally got to our hotel and the lady behind the desk didn�t speak English. Between sign language and my very bad Italian we checked in, and discovered that our third floor room was only accessible via the marble staircase. Fun fact: in Italy, the first floor is the North American second floor. It goes: ground floor, first floor (up one flight of stairs), second floor (up two flights of stairs). My legs were weeping after the amazing race on Thursday and our hikes Friday and Saturday. We were happily surprised when we went in our room, though, and discovered that we had a balcony! We cleaned ourselves up and headed out for dinner. We passed by the Spanish Steps, where a number of �rose men� were situated and trying to shove flowers at me, and ended up in Piazza del Popolo for dinner. We didn�t spend much time exploring that night; we were exhausted and had an early train to catch back to the airport on Monday morning. We returned to our hotel relatively early (after I got my last gelato, of course), packed and booked our train tickets.
While I wouldn�t return to Rome after Cinque Terre in the future, I don�t have a single regret from this trip. It was the trip of a lifetime. The man and I had an absolutely amazing experience, and fully intend on returning one day (and spending at least a week in Cinque Terre!). And with all the walking we did, despite the fact that I ate a LOT of gelato, pasta, pizza and focaccia, and drank at least two glasses of wine a day, I didn�t gain an ounce! Everyone should go to Italy, and I highly recommend checking out Cinque Terre if you do!

Whatever and Ever Amen, Ben Folds Five's breakout album, was filled with the snarky, stoned, hilarious observations of a man who didn't know whether to cry or write a musical satire about it. It's almost a decade later now--Folds is solo, married (happily, for a change) and he's a father, who has abandoned the sarcastic, piano-banging gimmicks in favor of tame melodies and restraint. His second solo album, Songs for Silverman, is confident and bravely sincere--slower tempos and none of the tongue-in-cheek goofs that have marked a Ben Folds album. (His first solo album, Rockin' the Suburbs, sported as its breakout song and namesake a typical Folds satire of poseurs and wannabes. Super D, one of the three EPs he released exclusively online, featured a cover of the Darkness' "Get Your Hands off of My Woman.") In its place, we have a sappy song about his daughter ("Gracie"), red-state peculiarities ("Jesusland"), a eulogy for Elliott Smith ("Late") and a handful of vaguely compelling character sketches. "Landed" is a beautiful ballad of romantic ambiguity, even if the piano does sound a little like James Taylor's "Fire and Rain." But that brings up a problem Folds faces: how to keep his edge while losing his youth. As fine a songwriter and musician as he is, Songs for Silverman lacks tooth. It's fine, it's grown-up, the arrangements are nice, but I can't help wishing someone would sit down at that piano--and just bang the living shit out of it.

text: Texas' Business-Friendly Policies Attract Warren Buffett's GEICO Print article Send a Tip by Breitbart Texas 4 Apr 2014 post a comment Texas Governor Rick Perry spoke at the grand opening of GEICO's new claims operation in a west Houston suburb on April 3 with GEICO Chairman Tony Nicely and CEO Warren Buffet to celebrate the new 138,000 square-foot office. Perry stressed that Texas' business-friendly policies are successful in attracting large employers--such as GEICO Insurance--to the state. "For every company like GEICO that chooses to expand or relocate in our state, it means that more Texans are getting the opportunities they need to achieve their goals," Perry told the crowd. "Today it is important to celebrate and to talk about the hundreds of jobs already created by this facility... the key to our state's success is the opportunities created by employers like GEICO." So far, the GEICO office has hired 340 new associates. By 2018, the branch hopes to hire up to 700 additional employees. Competition between states is what makes ultimately creates business-friendly environments, Perry reminded attendees. "I think our country becomes stronger by allowing laboratories of innovation [states] to implement tax and regulatory policies, create a workforce, and compete against each other." Perry told Breitbart Texas that people from around the world are flocking to Texas due to the healthy job market. "We've had 1,000 plus people moving into the state each day," he claimed. "So even with the influx of people moving to Texas, we've been able to absorb them and to keep as many people employed as we can." Many Lone Star State residents are employed by Buffet's various companies in the state. The investor said all of his Texas-based businesses continue to expand. "The companies that Mr. Buffet invests in know that they can come here, expand, grow, and have a good economic future," Perry said. He mentioned that one effect of Texas' thriving economy is the variety of industries moving into the state. "The energy capital of the world is going to continue to be a place where energy-focused companies move, but companies like GEICO are also going to be expanding in the state." Breitbart Texas recently reported on the diversification of Texas' growing industries. Karr Ingham, a Texas-based gas and oil economist, told Breitbart Texas, "The oil and gas industry has not gotten smaller--rather, the overall Texas economy has gotten bigger. The state economy is now a powerhouse. It is more than just an oil and gas economy; it is an industrial economy, a tech economy, a business economy, a manufacturing economy... Texas has a lot going for it." The growing variety of industries is no surprise to Perry. "The key to our state's success has been simple," he said. "We have a regulatory climate that is fair and predictable, a legal system that doesn't allow for over-suing, and we've continued to appropriately fund those good public schools."

Participants at a forum organised by ECOWAS have recommended strengthening of the integrated war against malaria in the sub-region.
The participants suggested a coordinated strategy to combat malaria through prevention, treatment and health promotion.
A statement on Friday by the commission's spokesman, Mr Sunny Ugoh, said that the recommendation was made in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire at a sensitisation workshop.
It said that the meeting was to herald the application of biolarvicides on May 28 to mark the ECOWAS day.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that biolarvicides, the vector control strategy, has been used successfully in South America to combat malaria.
According to the World Health Organisation, vector control is the only intervention which can reduce malaria transmission from high to zero level
The statement said that the meeting also called for the organisation of national conferences to harmonise and deepen public knowledge before the beginning of the application.
It also advocated effective sensitisation for attitudinal change, the collaboration of religious and traditional leaders, the media and the private sector to support the anti-malaria campaign.
According to the statement, the meeting also calls for a roadmap for the mobilisation of national armed forces and the establishment of a network of regional parliamentarians behind the campaign.
The ECOWAS campaign, it said, was anchored on the strengthening of the vector control strategy and sensitisation of communities to keep their environments clean.
It said that the armed forces would be involved in the application of biolarvicides to make the region malaria free. (NAN)

My concert
I was at the second show in Barcelona, and felt it was my concert when they played Electrical Storm. I've always wanted to ask them why they had not played it given that it's a beautiful song (IMHO perfect for props). Since they did play that one I'd say Summer Rain (perfect for acoustic), Window in the skies and my all time favorite Until the End of the World.

We men don't get enough opportunities to wear tights, exclaim catch phrases or strike signature poses. Sure, we wear jockstraps and leggings sometimes, but outside of Robin Hood and ninjas, leotards just aren't that badass. Unless, of course, said leotards are being worn by John Cena, CM Punk or Ryback. These are some of the wrestlers who will be sweatily grappling on Monday at The American Airlines Center (2500 Victory Ave.) for WWE's Monday Night Raw. Here, you'll commune with fellow enthusiasts who share your love of hexagons, men swinging in from the roof, the masked mariachi menaces who flip five times around their foes and the clumsy referees who always seem to get knocked out by a chair.

More Nevada schools are in need of improvement than last year, shows a new report issued on Tuesday.
State Department of Education officials issued the report card on Nevada's 613 public elementary and secondary schools and programs, the the numbers of schools that received low marks has increased.
The designations are based on criteria imposed by the federal No Child Left Behind Act passed in 2001 and by state laws passed in 2003 that are designed to bring the schools into line with the federal requirements.
State Schools Chief Keith Rheault says a breakdown of the 613 schools shows that 223 were designated as "in need of
improvement." That's up from 174 a year ago...an increase in 49 schools, or 28 percent.
Another 55 schools are on a "watch list," a step up from "in need of improvement." On a good note, the report does show 17 public schools with "exemplary" ratings, and 79 others with "high achieving" ratings.
A year ago, 165 schools were on the "watch list," five public schools had "exemplary" ratings, and 52 others had "high achieving" ratings.
