Winsor & Newton Watercolor Paint (professional, transparent…not gouache, not student grade & not Cotman brand.
There are many pigments available…I have found W&N paint to be exceptional. Daniel Smith, Holbein and Maimeri are also exceptional brands that I use. Do not try to get by with a sub-par brand, as you will be disappointed with the results and frustrated with the process.)
- Aureolin Yellow
- Cobalt Blue
- Permanent Rose
- French Ultramarine Blue
- Burnt Sienna
- Permanent Alizarin Crimson
- New Gamboge, or Quinacridone Gold
- Winsor Red or Cadmium Red
1 or 2 sheets (min.) of Arches 140# Cold Press Watercolor Paper, 22" x 30"
(The assignments can be done with only one sheet if you utilize ¼ or ½ sheet size each for the project and the exercise but recommend more for practice, redoing, additional painting, etc.)
Palette (Suggest John Pike Palette, large wells…this is the one I use in the video. However, there are many good palettes. I like this one for several reasons: it is virtually indestructible, it does not stain, it has a large open mixing area and a 2nd one that is even larger in the lid. Very important to have a tight fitting lid to cover the paint when not in use, otherwise it dries out and gets dusty.)
- *1" Flat Synthetic (I use a 1" Winsor & Newton Aquarelle #995 and a ¾" Jack Richeson #9010. Another good and inexpensive choice is the 1" Royal Magestic Wash #4250)
- ½" Flat Synthetic (same brands as for 1" flats)
- 1½" Flat Synthetic (Jack Richeson #9010 is a very good one)
- *#14 or 16 Round Synthetic (I use two of these at a time, suggest either Royal Majestic # 4250 or Robert Simmons Saphire S60, which is a comb of natural and synthetic, thus holds more water)
- *#4 or #6 Round Synthetic with very good point (Royal Majestic #4250)
- *Must have for this project, others recommended but not required.
Paper Towel (Viva is preferred as it doesn't have a 3D pattern that would affect texture in wet paint.)
Kleenex Tissue (no lotion)
Two Water Containers (One for clean water, other for rinse water. I use two collapsible portable lightweight ones.)
1 Micro Fiber Towel/Dish Mat
1" Masking Tape
#2 Pencil (I like Ticonderoga brand)
Kneaded Eraser (I like Design brand)
Gator Board (Optional but recommended. Slightly larger (roughly additional ½" on all edges) than the size of paper you are using.)
Many options are available from where to purchase these supplies. One very good source is cheapjoes.com. They are very reliable and you should be able to obtain almost all of above mentioned materials from them. If you plan to take additional classes from me, you might want to purchase a small bottle of Pebeo Drawing Gum (a liquid latex for use as a resist).
Lesson One
Hello! My name is Cheryle Chapline. Welcome to my video studio and to your class on 'Underpainting the Glow' in watercolor.
We will be studying the process of producing an underpainting by a build-up of glazing in watercolor, or, in other words, the use of layering a hue on top of an already dried layer of a different hue. Glazing layer over layer in transparent watercolor gives the painter the opportunity to create a depth of color that has a shimmering, almost iridescent 'glow' that can not be achieved any other way. Consider a dried underglaze of Cobalt Blue over-glazed with Permanent Rose. The most exquisite lavender/purple magically appears, creating almost a life all it's own. It is an optical mixing of the two colors combined with reflected light from the white paper below. Quite a bit different than a palette mix of those two colors and then applying the pigment to paper…it doesn't have the intensity and vibrancy that the optical mix of the glazing has. Similar results could be said for a mixture of the two pigments on the paper, which does give the artist a much more lively, interesting combination of color than a palette mixture…it just doesn't have the impact of a glazed optical mixture.
Assignments for Week One:
If you are new to watercolor or need a refresher on watercolor basics, watch the included bonus video (called Watercolor with Birgit O'Connor: Watercolor Basics) that accompanies this class. This watercolor basics video demonstrates the use of materials and techniques as close to those that I personally utilize that I could find. That being said, one very big difference is that we use different methods of mixing color, as I glaze colors and produce an underpainting while the Watercolor Basics video demonstrates color mixing on the paper. Our class is dealing primarily with glazing and underpainting and that technique is demonstrated in the proprietary video that I produced specifically for this class, Underpainting the Glow: Three Orange Tulips.
- Read Lesson One (above)
- View Underpainting the Glow: Three Orange Tulips – Part One, Underpainting Aureolin Yellow Video
- Gather Materials (see supply list below)
- Read Assignment 1: Color Play (Circles) (below)
- View the sample image of Assignment 1: Color Play (Circles) that is provided with this class. Produce a similar Color Play (Circles) painting on Arches Cold Press 140# Watercolor Paper (¼ or ½ of a 22" x 30" sheet) utilizing Aureolin Yellow, Cobalt Blue and Permanent Rose, allowing each glaze of color to dry before applying a new glaze of color. After painting all of the circles with various glazes of the above colors (thus, producing the underpainting), accent with the additional pigments on your palette to determine the effects each has being placed on top of the underpainting. [Specific instructions are detailed below in Assignment 1: Color Play (Circles)]
Choose a FLORAL subject matter that you wish to paint. If you want to work along with my demo on the video, it would be preferable for you to choose either orange, yellow or red-orange simple flowers. You should photograph your subject so that you will have a 2D image from which to work…working from life is always preferable but with objects that are perishable and a class that spans four weeks, you probably don't want to be painting dead flowers in week four. It would be best to photograph your subject while the sun is low in the sky so that you will have strong shadows and defined highlights, thus setting your painting up to really showcase the glazing and the underpainting effects. (The image that I produced to work from had a strong afternoon light shining through the tulips, creating an opportunity for me to glaze light, medium and dark values.)
Alternately, you may paint from my reference image for use as an educational exercise only. The image is available for download with this class.
When composing your painting, make sure to consider the Rule of Thirds and the placement of the center of interest (for more information go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds). Try to make this painting about the flowers and the 'glow' within them.
Working from your own photographic reference (or my reference image), draw a line drawing of the image you wish to paint. Draw the image on quarter sheet of Arches Cold Press 140# Watercolor Paper (¼ of a 22" x 30" sheet) You may draw it on a separate piece of paper and transfer it to the watercolor paper or you may draw it on watercolor paper at the on-set. If you draw the image directly on the watercolor paper, make sure that you are not too heavy handed in applying the pencil, otherwise the graphite might be difficult to remove. Use a Kneaded Eraser shaped like a little sausage to roll over the top of the watercolor paper to remove excess graphite before starting to paint.
Prepare your Palette & Workspace
Paint the Aureolin Yellow glaze on your painting, applying the techniques featured in Three Orange Tulips (Part One). While referring to your reference photo, paint as you follow along with the video, stopping and starting the video as necessary.
Allow the Aureolin Yellow glaze, Part One to naturally dry.

Assignments for Week Four
View Underpainting the Glow: Three Orange Tulips – Part Four, Local Color Video* {*Note: If you find it laborious to watch every brush stroke, as it is very long, you may fast-forward through the middle-toward-the-end part of the video that is referring to the application of Local Color in the background area (second part of Part Four). There is no audio instruction for this mid-segment of the video, strictly visual but there is audio toward the end.}
Paint the Local Color on your painting, applying the techniques featured in Three Orange Tulips, Part Four. While referring to your reference photo, paint as you follow along with the video, stopping and starting the video as necessary.

The Gang Reunites for Glee's 100th Episode, But It Doesn't Look Very Happy
Glee has been struggling to cope with the death of Cory Monteith and his character, Finn Hudson, all year long. We already knew the 100th episode would address Finn's passing "in a significant way," but seeing the pictures of the characters with his retired jersey just makes it all the more real. However, the 100th episode, airing this week, is a celebration. So there will be guest stars and, of course, lots of singing and dancing. Take a look at the pictures, and talk about your feelings.

The HAVA Bulletin
Message from Deputy Secretary of State Julie Flynn
At the Bureau of Corporations, Elections and Commissions, we have been working closely with municipalities to implement the requirements of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA). Effective communication is crucial to our work with municipal officials as we design, test and roll out the Central Voter Registration System (CVR) over the coming months. Through individual contacts as well as the HAVA Bulletin, we are continually providing municipal election officials with updates and information necessary to carry out HAVA smoothly. Many municipal officials have given us feedback, and asked questions about aspects of the CVR project, and we greatly appreciate the interest. We want to make this process as interactive as possible to bring the benefits of HAVA and the CVR to the entire State, and with that in mind, this issue of our Bulletin will focus on specific issues that municipal officials have brought to our attention. Below, you will find information about the equipment that we will provide to municipalities, as well as an overview of the training plan. We have included extensive "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQ's) that will be useful to officials across the State. We hope you find this issue of the HAVA Bulletin helpful, and we encourage you to contact us with comments and questions. In addition, please take a moment to fill out the enclosed survey so that we can improve our data collection process.
Thank you for your cooperation with HAVA implementation, and I look forward to working with you over the next few months.
Julie Flynn
CVR Equipment Arriving by July
Municipalities will need specified equipment to fully use the CVR System. The State has requested bids from vendors for the proper equipment. We will purchase and deliver the equipment to every municipality by July. Each municipality will receive:
We will contact each municipality in June to arrange delivery of this equipment.
Training for the CVR: Equipment and Software
The State will provide the training necessary to use the CVR equipment and ElectioNet software. Training will be a mixture of regional sessions with a professional trainer and self-guided computer-based training. A survey of municipalities showed that two tracks of training will be needed: Track One will review basic computer skills, and Track Two will teach officials how to use the CVR's ElectioNet software. The clerk and registrar of each municipality must receive training to use the CVR System. Every clerk and registrar will take Track Two, but those who feel they need to learn or review basic computer skills may also take the Track One training. Our Training Coordinator will work with each municipality to identify the officials and schedule the necessary training this summer and fall.
Training area: Introduction to Windows, Internet Explorer, Internet basics. This course teaches Microsoft Windows operating system and related software. It also provides an introductory overview of how to use the Internet. Track One is available in both a classroom, if required, and a self-guided format.
• Track Two training will begin within a week of a municipality implementing the CVR.
Municipalities will implement the CVR on a rolling schedule, not all at the same time. Thus Track Two training will depend on when a particular municipality goes "live," which ranges from September to December 2005.
Training area: Functions of the CVR and ElectioNet software. A hands-on training class will teach: how information is entered into the system; how information is changed; how information is retrieved; how elections are managed; and how reports are generated. A classroom setting is used for this training.
Status of Data Conversion
Over the past few weeks, the CVR conversion team has requested an initial copy of voter registration information from each municipality with electronic voter registration data. If you have already provided this information, thank you. If you have electronic voter registration data and have not already provided a copy of your information, it is important that you do so as soon as possible. For technical assistance, please contact the CVR conversion team at 622-3119.
The CVR conversion team is analyzing the information from municipalities with electronic voter registration data and will soon send reports detailing any data issues, along with instructions on how to use the reports.
Q & A's
Q. If I have sent an electronic copy of my voter registration data to the state for data conversion, should I continue to make changes or updates to my voter list in my current system?
A. Yes, you should continue to maintain your list in its current system until the CVR is fully online in your municipality. During the data conversion process, municipalities that keep electronic voter registration data will be asked to submit their data a total of three times. The third submission of your data, to take place this fall, should reflect the most current data at that time and will be loaded into the new CVR database. Within a short time of providing your third submission of data, your municipal clerk and registrar will receive training and will then be connected to the CVR, which you will use for all voter registration and absentee ballot processes from that point forward. Until your municipality is connected to the CVR, you are responsible for providing voter registration information and lists from your current system as required by law.
Q. Many of my voter registration application cards are old and may be missing information, even signatures. Do I need to have those voters complete new registration applications?
A. No. If you have missing information on your voter cards, you will not be required to get that information prior to using the CVR. Reports issued to the municipalities during the data conversion process will help identify missing information, and will list steps that may be taken to try to obtain that information. Of course any missing information that you are able to obtain from voters, including a signature, will be helpful going forward to ensure we are able to keep the CVR clean of duplicate voters and utilize all available functionality of the system. While you may seek additional information from voters, currently registered voters cannot be removed from the voting list for failing to provide additional information.
Q. Since the State is providing computer equipment for the CVR, will this be the only computer that I can use to access the system?
A. The answer is yes and no. You can use any computer with a currently supported Internet browser to gain access to the CVR since it is a web-based application. However, some versions of Internet Explorer may not support the application. Also, your external hardware, such as the printer, scanner and bar code reader will all be configured and connected to the State-provided computer. Activities within the CVR requiring the use of these items will need to be done using this computer.
Q. I'm still not completely clear about the Internet connection to the CVR. What kind of connection does our municipality need?
A. If your municipality currently has a broadband Internet connection (for example DSL or cable), you will be able to use the CVR. If you do not have broadband, the State will determine if your connection is adequate. For those municipalities that do not currently have Internet access, or that have an inadequate connection, the State will ensure that you have the connection you need to access the CVR. The number of voters in your municipality will determine the type of Internet connection that will be needed. Some communities will only require a dial-up connection to the Internet, while the larger municipalities will require a higher speed connection. The State is researching options to ensure that you will have the proper Internet connection needed for your voter population.

The minute we arrived home from Paris, it was time for one of our favorite events of the year: the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic. It is the most glamorous event in LA, and another excuse for me to play dress up with Skyler, Rodger, and Joey! The event was incredibly chic, and a perfect moment to relax with my family, but could you tell that I couldn't wait to get back into the office to work on my pre-fall collection?
Whenever my design director Michael comes to LA from New York, I love to take advantage of every minute with him. The biggest challenge as a designer is factoring in all of the details -- fit, quality, fabric, prints and color! -- while also making sure each piece has my personal stamp on it.

Uplifting Note on Bathroom Wall Inspires College Studentsby Free Britney at . Comments
A college student recently posted a photo of a surprisingly poignant, uplifting and inspiring message that she found ... taped to the stall in a women's restroom.
The student, also a Reddit user, wrote: "In a girls' bathroom stall at my university, girls have written about some of their most horrifying life experiences."
"This week, somebody replied."
The reply, written on notebook paper, is anonymous. It reads in full:
To the girl who was raped: You are so strong. I cannot fathom the pain you must have gone through. The fact that you have the bravery to write it (even on a bathroom wall) gives me hope.
To the girl with eating disorders: I promise you, although I don't know you, you are beautiful, you deserve your health. You deserve freedom from that hell.
To the girl with the alcoholic father: I am so sorry for the agony it must cause. Again, such courage is remarkable you must be such a strong person to see such pain.
To the girl whose father died: Missing them never goes away. The ache of their absence never goes away. But the love they had, the memories you share surely must last. I am sure, out of the bottom of my heart, the people who have left you in this world are exceptionally proud of the person you are.
Every time (sic) I see these walls, these confessions, I feel so blessed to know I have the priviledge (sic) of seeing them. Your moments, these secrets, are all precious even though they are sad. To all of you (including those I did not mention, and those who have not yet written)
- You are worthy.
- You are strong.
- You are brave.
- You are loved.
- Somebody cares.
Written below that, somebody offered a quick response:
"To the person who wrote this, thank you."
We can all second that sentiment.
With all the bullying, hatred, confusion and negativity in the world, isn't it nice to know a stranger read it (Reddit if you will) and more importantly, cared?
I Enjoy IT IT Is effective FOR ME YOU MAY HAVE A LITTLE DRY MOUTH BUT I can DEAL WITH THAT IT GIVES ME ENEGRY AND WITH IN THEM 30 DAYS I Misplaced LIKE 25 Lbs SO Like THESE Products I PUT ALL MY FRIENDS ON TO IT AND IT Function FOR THEM TO Persons Usually HAVE SOMETHING NEGATIVE TO SAY MAYBE YOU Have to STOP STUFFING YOUR FACE OR Examine THE DIRECTIONS FOR ME IT DID WHAT IT SAID IT WOULD DO And that i HAD NO SIDE AFFECTS THANKS FRUTA PLANTA reduce weight http://superfruta.mywapblog.co...

Hispanics in Harrisonburg say they're hopeful that Judge Sonia Sotomayor will be confirmed by the Senate and become the first Hispanic ever to sit on the high court.
Latinos in the Valley say they can relate to Sotomayor's modest upbringing. Customers and the owner of Mi Mercadito say they work hard, just like Sotomayor has in the past, to earn a living and support a family.
However, they hope the judge "doesn't forget where she came from, if she is confirmed."
Mi Mercadito customer Joe Rodriguez says, "I think it's good. I think she has a very strong background and I think she will help us, the Latino community. We need Spanish people in the Congress and people who can help us and people who know our background."
Through a translator, store owner Eutimio Martinez says, "Like most of the Hispanics who comes into the government nowadays, [they] forget where they're raised, [where their] background comes from."
Background is the key word Monday for Hispanics in the Valley as well as Senate Republicans and Democrats.
Early Monday at the hearings, Panel Chairman Patrick Leahy suggested Sotomayor could be just as honorable as Thurgood Marshall, while Republican Jeff Sessions questioned whether the judge could rule impartially.
Overall, Democratic leaders feel Sotomayor will be confirmed.

I have had stubborn saddlebag fat ever since I was about 18 years old despite being very slim elsewhere. Nothing worked. Even if I lost enough weight to resemble a skeleton (non-intentional weight loss, by the way), the saddlebags still remained, though only slightly smaller.
I had heard this procedure could produce visible results even after the first treatment, and when I found a Groupon deal for $109 for four sessions, I was quite excited. It was supposed to be a painless and non-invasive method of fat removal.
The clinic I went to was nice and the staff friendly and professional, and the procedure went as follows:-
The nurse (I think?) measured the area in question, but did not make any marks with pen (which may have been useful on hindsight).
I then lay down on a bed / table thing with a heat belt of some sort wrapped around my butt and around to my front. It was only slightly warm and I waited there for 10 minutes.
The machine to be utilised was a huge thing...with a fairly large hand piece. The nurse removed the belt and activated the machine, before placing the hand piece on the side of my right thigh. She kind of pushed it deeper into my skin, which was slightly painful but not that bad, until it apparently had grabbed enough skin / fat to suck into the much smaller area within the front of the hand piece. Then she held it there and I felt a blast of heat. She did this over and over, moving around my thigh. She seemed to focus mostly on the top of the thigh, which I was not happy with as I wanted the SIDE / BACK of my thigh treated, as this is where the saddlebags actually area. I pointed this out and she did spend more time around the side.
Within about 30 seconds, I was in extreme discomfort and pain. Sometimes she would hold the hand piece on my skin for an extended time, like over 5 seconds, and it literally felt as if a hair straightener plate was being pressed onto my skin and burning it. I have had various procedures in my time ranging from laser hair removal, IPL, tattoos, piercings, lip filler, cheek filler, nose filler and lipo-dissolve. NOTHING has ever been as painful as this procedure!!!
I am always stoic and reserved in these procedures as well, but this one caused me to say "ow" several times, as it was just THAT painful. For me to actually vocalize and express any sort of pain would be like someone else who was more demonstrative crying out.
After it was finally over, I stood up to get dressed again and saw my thighs were all pink (as to be expected) EXCEPT the actual saddlebag areas, which were visible most clearly when standing, were NOT pink at all! I was not happy. It seems when I lie down, the fat in that area falls down a bit so it ends up that I'm lying on it. I made a note to tell her next time, and also to mark in pen the exact right area.
Also after getting up, I noticed my back was drenched with sweat. Yes, the hand piece is REALLY hot and so it would have heated up my entire body, causing the sweating, but I also believe it was my body's immense physical stress from the pain that caused my sweating.
I felt fine afterwards. Walking felt ok. No after effects whatsoever and the pinkness vanished in a few hours, leaving behind just a few faint "spider vein" type marks. They also faded in about 2-3 days. The one thing that has STILL not faded however, a month later, is a small burn mark from that boiling hot hand piece. It left me with a red mark right up near the bottom of my bikini line (I do NOT know why she even PUT the hand piece there. I don't think she meant to and was distracted with something else at the time. That was THE most painful part of the whole procedure) which has now finally faded to a slight pale brown flat scar. I HOPE it disappears entirely at some point.
I was supposed to go back the next week but simply could not stand with it, so put it off for another week and then returned. I told the nurse about my past issues with the pain. She was very surprised since it is not supposed to hurt at all. I showed her the burn and she was also shocked and seemed quite embarrassed. She asked if she had done the procedure last time. Uh...YES.
So again, the same procedure was performed...the same warming belt...the same horrific pain from the hand piece. It just BURNS right on the skin. It is supposed to heat the fat cells BENEATHE the skin and bursting their shells so the fat can be absorbed by the body and then removed naturally.
I had seen absolutely NO improvement or shrinkage after either session and she measured me after the second one and seemed a bit surprised at this. I however, was NOT surprised. I just don't think it works on me. It targets the surface of my skin, not the fat underneath it seems.
Again, when I stood up, the thighs were pink and the saddlebags were NOT. I had forgotten to mark the area in pen though I had mentioned to her to try and use the hand piece further down / under where I was lying.
After this, I was sweating again majorly, and just found the whole thing SO unbearably painful and pointless also, so never went back for my remaining two sessions.
Ultrasonic Cavitation Fat Removal...OH MY GOD, THE PAIN! Southport, AU
I have had stubborn saddlebag fat ever since I was...
Nice enough nurse (I think she was a nurse), but...I was not 100% comfortable in how the two sessions I had were performed.

Hyvinkää, an apparently completely anonymous, growing town, that can't be remembered for anything particular (except just the other day the teenage shooter who killed two people and wounded others in a moment of madness). But a week before this tragic event, it was the first edition of Steelfest Open Air, a previously underground local event held indoor, now trying to come out as the opener for the festival season here in Finland.
Gathering metalheads through all the country, the event features some extreme acts, in a mixture of Black, Death and Thrash metal, as you can easily recognize from the clothes of the crowd invading this once pacific place in the middle of the woods.
When I arrive at the festival, unfortunately the first band, Hellbozer Union, has almost finished their set. It's a pity since afterwards I got the promo from the guys and didn't really sound bad. First thing you notice is how obvious it is that it's a first for an event like this here. You see it from the little details: info on the schedule available only at the specific stand, few toilets, security that hadn't any instructions on how to deal with the photographers and for the first few bands everytime was insisting to not let people into the photo pit. Well, this gets better already the next day. You learn from experience at least.
Ominous is the first band to set foot onto the main stage, in what is actually their first live show ever. The band doesn't really give much importance about the attitude nor the image on stage, keeping it all simple and straight to the point. Some cross-talk in Finnish with the crowd in between the songs, otherwise just the music. Plain and solid Black metal.
Next, while Finland's weather is showing its true colors and the afternoon becomes progressively freezing, it's the occult piece Valoton, of which I had the opportunity to have already a positive impression back when I saw them last year. These masked and hooded guys (with the exception of their female guest) pull a good show on the small stage, despite there isn't many to see that yet at this time in the afternoon. But their material is good, and I suggest you check them out.
Another Black metal band, this time playing at home, is Azaghal with a ~15-years-long career made of 9 full-lengths, among which their latest release "Nemesis", the guys have plenty to offer to their audience. Reminiscent of bands like Urgehal, they have their honest 45-minute show, even if not particularly exciting. I have seen them before, and the impression was better. Sure today the atmosphere doesn't maybe help much either.
A.R.G. prove themselves as one of the most energetic bands of the day, even though they are one of the first Thrash metal combo from Finland, dated back in 1987. Reunited last year, we wait for the new record while listening to their classics. The facial expressions of the singer Tepa Karjalainen and the poses of Vesa Säkkinen contribute to make this show more entertaining, and now the crowd is really ready for the main acts to start, beginning with Deathchain.
The funniest thing about this band, whose members are all actively engaged in multiple bands, is always to see their Cthulhu-like keyboard player waving at the audience, making all his minions happy.
With his bone-covered microphone pole K.J. Khaos gets control over the audience, assembled now in a bigger number. For me this is mostly a good occasion to grab something to eat and take shelter from the freezing wind with some nice drink. Still I can appreciate the wall of sound coming from the stage, as well as songs like the long "Cthulhu Rising".
Time for some real fun at the sound of the old "Suomi Finland Perkele"-saying with Mika Luttinen and his Impaled Nazarene. Let's Black'n'Roll guys! There is no need for presentations and IN is an institution among Finnish extreme music followers, as you can see from the hard-core fans going all crazy. Irreverent and venomous as ever, the show progress among songs such as "Ghettoblaster" and "Tentacles of the Octagon" (many are the songs from the last record), ending the show of course with "Total War Winter War", with the guest appearance of Sotajumala's Mynni Luukkainen.
Despite the cold (damn you, Finland!) the crowd is now heated more than enough for the main act of the day, and for many the only reason to be here: Entombed. LG shows a pretty good shape and has his part of fun, even when some guy gives him his crutch and he takes a little walk with it on stage before returning it. One hour and a half the set for the Swedes, which offers songs like "Serpent Saints", "I For An Eye" and "Stranger Aeons" to the overly excited guys in front of the stage. It's a really good show, powerful and in-your-face as it should be. But at this point for today I have to retire from the field, at least enough to get rid of this damn cold sensation and head to the afterparty show of Tyranex at Ravintola Pelikenttä.
Here the trio led by the charismatic Linnea Landstedt give it their all on the small stage of this tiny little club, full of people for the occasion. Their killer Thrash metal and honest approach makes them conquer immediately the audience, and many fans will later go and congratulate the guys after the gig. A perfect conclusion for a music-wise very good day, the official opener of this "summer" festival season 2012.

So I've forgotten how completely annoying it is to track each and every calorie you take in!
It's so easy to get out of the habit and once you do, it's just bad news. It's so easy to eyeball something and go "yep, that's green, I bet it's good for me!" I got out of the habit of tracking while I was in DC, and even though I've been working out like a fiend, I haven't really been tracking calories so much. As a result, I've been bouncing between the same five pounds for a month.
:D But last night, I made it to the grocery store and I've packed my lunch two days in a row. I'm getting back into the swing of things, so hopefully by next February, I'll have ditched half of the rest of the 40 pounds I'm trying to skinny off.
So tonight, I was supposed to have worship practice, which was going to be my oh-so-convenient excuse for not going to the gym, even though I've only gone once this week so far. In my defense, I was in the car 8 hours on Monday, and I did do some heavy-duty kickboxing last night. Nevertheless, in order to get my three 1/2 hour strength training sessions in this week, I gotta go tonight. Cry. My body is still sore, for crying out loud! Mercy!
And now I'm home I'm sitting here thinking about how this is going to suck up all my time tonight. I'll go to the gym, come home, cook dinner, pay bills and it'll be time to plop back into bed for tomorrow's repeat. Booooo, says I. Joining the gym was part of the process of simplifying life, to be sure, but now I just feel like a workout hermit!
And sadly, one who is not losing weight! Yesterday, I weighed in at my fitness group as 174.
I weighed 175 when I started this time! and I weighed 171 on my bathroom scale this morning, but COME ON. I've been working out harder than I've ever worked out in my life - not a lie - and I am just not seeing the weight or the inches come off this time around. Frustrating to the max!
Oh well, I guess if I just sit here making up excuses, I'm never going to actually go, huh?
Better hop to.
So I just did one of the P90x kickboxing videos with a bunch of folks from my church...
I am a wuuuuuuuuuuuss! With capital letters and exclamation points and italics and bold font and underscores. Sheesh! It was hard work!
:D but I feel tougher for having finished it. >D Rawr! Take that, unnamed indefinable thing I'm up against. ;)
Hi Everyone, My name is Ashley
(Everyone: Hi Ashley)
And I have a problem. I... I am addicted to Diet Coke.
I have a daily ritual. 3:00 is not just a number on the clock to me, it is Diet Coke Time. A hallowed event that must be treated with dignity and respect. There will be no sacreligious Diet-Caffine-Free poser coke, only good old fashioned splenda-riffic silver-canned nectar-of-the-gods. I've tried to give it up, really I have... but it's led me down a road filled with 4:30 bloating and regrets. Why Diet Coke? Why must you be so delicious? Why must I crave your zero-calorie goodness??? I know your incomprehensible list of chemical ingredients are slowly killing me, but I don't care. You're just that yummy. But I know that in the interest of better health... I need to... put down the can.
Any other Coke (THE BEVERAGE!) addicts out there want to weigh in on how they overcame their Diet Soda Delimas? Tips? Tricks? Humorous Antecdotes? Don't mind me... I'll just be the one in the corner cradling my diet coke can like it's the last one on earth. preciouuuuusss....
So my friend Jen's family has a lake house. And it's awesome. Every summer she gets a group together and we go up and spend a weekend boating, tubing, swimming, and driving around on her jet ski. Once we're all brutally exhausted we come back to shore, light a fire, chow down on smores and fire pies and, at the end of the weekend, collapse!
I have to be honest, I ate TERRIBLY over the weekend. But! I still lost weight, so I'm going to call it a win.
I'm slowly reorganizing my life so I can get back to around 1,200 calories a day. I'd forgotten how difficult it was to plan every meal ahead of time!
Still, baby steps, right?
:) And the gym has been going well! My trainer wanted to do chest/back stuff yesterday which was KILLER after the tubing, but I'm excited to keep going and hopefully get a little more in shape.
Plus, my church is going to be launching this wicked-sweet program on Wednesday nights that is going to be geared toward wholistic fitness and such, so I'm excited to start that, too.
So much busyness! o.o

OverviewBack to Top
The Expobar Office Pulser commercial espresso machine is one of a kind with a combination of low cost and high quality design and construction. It is a machine that will last a lifetime in home use and is suitable for the office, coffee kiosk, small cafe or hotel coffee bar. It can brew and steam at the same time making it ideal for any type of home use, small deli or bagel shop. The separate hot water dispenser and steam wand are mounted on a 360-degree ball joint. The group head is comparable to the renown E61 group head with pre-infusion and thermal siphon for maximum temperature stability and aroma extraction. Its electronic boiler controls, safety switches and internal components mirror those of the larger commercial espresso machines. The Expobar Office Pulser is short enough to fit under a 16" high cabinet and is only 9.5" wide. The stainless steel housing gives it as much form as it has function. The accessories include a chrome plated brass portafilter, tamper, single shot filter basket, double shot filter basket and a 7 gram coffee scoop.
Please Note: Regulations for commercial use vary between states. Be aware of your local requirements. Machines carrying an NSF approval are labeled as such. Please visit our policies page for warranty information.
FeaturesBack to Top
Features & Benefits: Coffee
Commercial Size and Style Portafilter Handle
Made of chrome-plated brass for excellent heat stability, which is essential for producing top quality espresso.
Commercial Brewing Group
The brew group is the large piece of chrome-plated brass that the portafilter inserts into. The Expobar brew group has a thermal siphon that is constantly circulating water through it to keep it hot at all times. It is never necessary to run a blank shot to preheat it.
Commercial Design Heat Exchanger Boiler System
The all copper boiler has a capacity of 1.8 liters. It has an internal heat exchanger that prevent the water used for brewing from coming in contact with the water stored in the boiler for steaming and hot water dispensing. With its commercial style design you can brew and steam or dispense hot water whenever you want to. This is especially important when entertaining or when used in a commercial application.
3-Way Solenoid Valve
The 3-way solenoid valve is a commercial feature that relieves the water pressure off the coffee when the brew switch is turned off. This serves two functions; it dries out the coffee to prevent dripping and makes it easy to knock the coffee out of the portafilter with one knock. It deposits this water into the drip tray.
High Quality Controls with Temperature Ready Light
The controls are easy to operate and understand, no training necessary. Just turn on the main power switch and the boiler will fill with water on its own and start to heat up. When the temperature ready light goes off you are ready to go ahead and start brewing.
Cup Warmer
We always preheat cups when brewing espresso. A non-preheated cup will immediately suck the heat out of the espresso thus robbing you of maximum enjoyment. The cup warmer on the Expobar will hold up to 14 espresso cups. It is a passive type heater, which means it is heated from the residual heat of the boiler.
Features & Benefits: Frothing and Hot Water
Hot Water Dispenser
A hot water dispenser is excellent for preheating cups or supplying hot water for tea. The knob on the right side controls the flow of water through the hot water dispensing wand. Just like on the large commercial machines the wand is mounted on a ball joint and can pivot in any direction.
Steam Wand
The steam wand is long and is high enough off the counter to easily fit any frothing pitcher without having to tip it. It is mounted on a ball joint that can swing in any direction.
Features & Benefits: Care, Maintenance & Other
Water Reservoir
A 2.75 liter reservoir is easily removable for cleaning or filling at the sink.
One year parts & labor warranty
Multiple Safety Switches and Controls
If the water level in the boiler gets low the electronic controls sense this and turn the pump on to automatically fill the boiler. If the reservoir runs out of water a CPU board will turn off the heating element to prevent overheating. A manual reset high temperature switch is located on top of the boiler as a secondary safety switch.
Boiler Pressure Control
The boiler temperature/pressure is controlled through a professional grade pressure controller. It senses the pressure in the boiler and turns on the heating element in the boiler as the pressure drops.
Back flush the Expobar at least every few days. For commercial application you should back flush it at the end of every day. It is a simple process that takes only a few minutes. Put a blank filter basket into the portafilter (supplied) and add a tablespoon of cleaner. Install the portafilter into the machine and turn on the pump. The pump will be noisy as it starts and will start to quiet down as the pressure builds. When the pump has quieted down, turn off the brew switch and the cleaner will be blown up into the brew group, through the three way solenoid valve and down into the drip pan. Do this until the cleaner that is being directed into the drip pan is just free of coffee colors. Finish the process by rinsing out the brew group.
Housing Construction
The steel frame compliments the highly polished stainless steel housing and cup warmer. The drip grate is stainless steel and the drip pan is plastic that holds up to 32 ounces of water before it need to be emptied.
My expobar will not turn on. I checked the electrical outlet (which is fine). the on/off button flickered once, but no longer flickered and remains unlit when in the on position. What can I do?
First and foremost, how old is the machine? With time, these power switches can fail from normal wear and tear. Alternatively, make sure the water tank is completely full--a not-quite-empty tank might weigh just enough to allow the safety switch under it to pop up and cut power.
it had plenty of waterf. The machine was purchased in August 2010.
I bought my expobar about 1 year ago. The water is not passing through anymore . I dont know if it is a problem with buying expresso that is too finely ground or have heard it might be water pressure not strong enough. The expresso looks like sludge, not a hard cake when this happens. Did nt...
It definitely sounds like the grind is too fine-are you able to get water flowing through the group head without your portafilter on? If so, I'd suggest making your grind a bit coarser, or having it ground a bit coarser wherever you purchase your coffee from. I would also suggest that you...
The frothing wand on our Expobar pulsar (4 years old) is not working. We get water from both the portafilter and the hot water dispenser, but nothing from the frothing wand. And suggestions? Anyone in the Raleigh, NC area that handles Expobar repairs?
Thank you for your submission. It is quite an easy fix. If you are able to get liquid from the hot water wand this is a good sign. Steam and hot water and drawn from the same place in the machine. Remove the tip of the steam wand. You can do this by unscrewing it. There is a small white...
How do I get decalsified water. I do not like the taste of softened water, and I don't have a softener anyway. Can I use Britta water?
Decalcified water is softened water, and the best way to get it for use with your Expobar is to either use the water softener that came with the machine or purchase the Rancilio softener that we carry. Although Brita filtered water does have a better taste than hard water, it only filters out...
Can a person make a cup of regular coffee with these machines if they wanted? Would that be a waste of coffee or would it be a good cup of coffee?
Although an espresso machine cant make traditional drip coffee, it can make 2 things that are very similar: cafe americano and cafe crema. An americano is simply a double shot of espresso with an added 6 to 8 oz of hot water. Although it sounds like it may taste watery, the concentrated flavor...
what is the difference between the Pulser and the Lever versions of the Expobar?
The 2 machines are very similar, and the largest difference between them is going to be their brewing and solenoid valve release controls. Since the Lever machine has an E61 brew group, it has a lever that must be put in the up position to begin brewing and then pulled down to stop. In addition,...
I just received my Expobar Office Pulser from you and I'm wondering if I have to run cooling flushes through it before making an espresso. By looking at other web sites (for example coffeegeek.com) I inferred that any HX machine needs such cooling flushes. The manual (including yours) doesn't say...
Although its not listed in the manual, running water through the brew group and empty portafilter before brewing is a great idea. This helps to ensure that all of the external components of your espresso machine are at the proper temperature for a great extraction (and you can dispense the water...
Can you give any comments on warm up time for this machine?
I'm looking for a semi-auto machine that heats up quickly and easily froths milk for cappuccino. I've looked at Gaggia Classic and Rancilio Silvia. It seems several reviewers mention the Silvia takes some time to warm up.
The heat-up time for the Expobar is going to be about 15 minutes, whereas the Silvia and Classic average around 6 minutes. The time it takes a machine to heat up is directly related to how large its boiler is - the larger the boiler, the longer the heat-up time - which is why theres such a...
Hi, got the Pulser - love it. Just a quick question about the water tank. The manual states to fill it to the top of the indicator window, but my machine has no window. How full can I fill my water tank?
You can fill the water tank nearly to the top, but I wouldnt recommend filling it all the way to prevent spillage.
A while ago we bought the Expobar Office and are quite happy with it. Now the water catcher starts leaking. We would need a replacement. Where can I buy this?
We carry all Expobar parts and would be happy to send one to you. Simply call us at 888-411-5282 to place an order.
Water builds up in the steam wand when the unit heats up. I must discharge the hot water into the basin before putting it in the milk to steam. Is this build up of water normal for this machine? Thanks
This is normal, and probably means that the machine isnt fully up to pressure yet, or that the condensation in the steam valve has not been released. When the machine is up to temperature, and you are ready to steam, We would recommend opening the steam wand and letting any water that may have...
The reservior is removable from where? front, or back? and is it possible to remove without disassembly while the machine is in operation?
The reservoir is removable from the top left side of the machine. It is possible to remove it without major disassembly (the cup warmer plate will simply need to be lifted off to access it), however, you shouldnt do this while the machine is brewing. This is because the low water level sensor is...
When I go to pull a shot it takes a full 15 seconds for water to begin to pour from the group. When I go to the next shot it is instant. Do you know why this could be?
This may be an indication that a part needs to be replaced. Please contact our tech department at 888-411-5282 so that we can thoroughly diagnose the problem and provide you with the appropriate solution.

President Obama,YOU did not give them anything. The blood, sweat, tears, lives and limbs of our troops gave them that chance.In the meantime, you abandoned the Iraqi people and the men and women who sacrificed everything to give them that chance because it was politically expedient to do so.You left a fledgling democracy in its infancy without any guidance. (Not that your guidance would be worth a pot to p*** in). Our troops would have continued to act as a deterrent to ISIS and every other crazy sect that wants destroy the world.You are a disgrace and an embarrassment to this great country, as are the Dems and RINO´s and MSM who support you.None of you are fit to shine the shoes of those who have fought on your behalf and quite frankly, you all disgust me.

Who cares about your archives anymore?
There aren't many business that don't need archives of their files and emails that their employees can reach with ease. But certainly, it can be of more strategic importance for some than others. Reg reader, Stuart Walters, falls into the latter camp. He's the IT Director of international law firm Taylor Wessing - a place where …
Something to look forward to!
Now its these tidbits which makes El Reg stand out from the crowd such as, say, Slashdot. In my opinion of course.
Although I can fully understand the need to get people together and address topics such as "Windows 8 shipping" and all sorts of that stuff I always consider those boring. To me its just yet another bunch of people talking about yet another common topic.
As said; this is something I'm looking forward to because it IS important to have this in order (in some countries this is even demanded by law!). And the fact its a topic which, the article says itself, many people hardly seem to care about makes it all the more interesting for me.
Cool, can't wait!
(disclaimer: yes, obviously it helps to be self-employed and as such have different interests)
Surely "the latter camp" is
the "others", for whom their archive is of less strategic importance.
Not sure I quite agree with the premise (for e-mail at least)
Specifically: "There aren't many business that don't need archives of their files and emails that their employees can reach with ease."
Having every e-mail ever sent by every employee you've ever had on file permanently is excessive, expensive and at the end of the day a serious financial liability. The reason that it's a liability is that if you've ever been involved with a legal discovery exercise, the volume of discoverable data will directly impact the hours your legal counsel has to dig through, and consequently how big your bill is.
This is not to say that archive (from a storage extension standpoint - not its other use for compliance journaling) is unnecessary.... just that given the choice there are *many* users who would keep everything, indefinitely, and if that is not critical for your business that they be able to do so, you would be well served by not allowing infinitely expandable storage.
My advice:
1.) Understand your legal requirements - this is your baseline
2.) Understand your business requirements - this could mean multiple retention/usage profiles above and beyond baseline legal requirements
3.) Implement retention policies (ex: call center employees can only keep mail that is less than 1 year old, etc) that align with your legal and business requirements
4.) As necessary, provide adequate capacity (either native to your messaging environment, or by extending through a secondary archive system) for users to keep data within their prescribed retention profile
5.) Restrict the use of local archives where possible (i.e. GPOs to keep Outlook from being able to create/use local .PSTs)
In essence, if you need it... keep it on the server or server + archive extension. If you don't need it, get rid of it!
Be careful with the delete button ...
Fully agree with points 4 & 5 as .psts are a serious liability. However be careful about what you think isn't important to be kept in the archives - you may find its actually useful and save your arse in some legal situations.
I have always kept good archives of my email, if for no other reason than we have stupid mailbox size limits on Exchange. We have now rolled out an archiving system linked to Exchange (Enterprise Vault), which although it isn't perfect does mean everything is on a backed up server and not on my hard drive. We also had the foresight to import the .pst files so nothing has been lost.
I regularly refer back to emails from the last 18 months anyway, but I had cause recently to go back to mails from 2009 and beyond to find information for our legal teams. These particular emails wouldn't normally have been kept as it wasn't information that should be retained as a legal or business requirement. However I did have it and all the supporting documentation too - something my legal team are now very happy about.
Re: Be careful with the delete button ...
From a liability standpoint It can be a double edged sword though... Sometimes it helps, sometimes it hurts. I'm not sure if it's more one versus the other but the General Counsels I've dealt with tend towards the more aggressive side, with the business side of the house pushing for more lenient retention policies. Maybe they know something I don't... my anecdotal experience could be unusual too.
Not to mention storage and other infrastructure costs either...
I'm not particularly fond of trying to cut it too close... the max cut-off I've seen (for companies that actually put them in place) is 5 years. At the very least, I'm pretty certain those hoarders/packrats I've run into (I'd be guilty myself were it not for an unfortunate disk encryption incident - a habit also formed from draconian inbox quotas) don't really need mail from the Major/Clinton era anymore... so there should probably be a line drawn somewhere.
OK lets translate this article..
