I keep a spreadsheet of my timeline at work and when I meet and expect to meet certain milestones. The data (dates) is stored left-to-right and each project has it's own row. The milestones are permantely set and occupy Range(O:AA). My data is color coded as Green (Complete), Orange(Deadline), Blue(Not working on), Red(Not applicable).
What I would like to do is write a function that would check if a cell contained an orange color background(Color index 6) and return a TRUE or FALSE based on that. Basically I want to aggregate all of the deadlines across all of the columns. Eventually I would like to integrate a date check as well so I can see which deadlines are approaching.
Function ScanForColor(Dates As Range) as Boolean
If ScanForColor.Interior.ColorIndex = 6 Then
ScanForColor = True
ScanForColor = False
End Function
I would like to call the function in a cell like =ScanForColor(O3:AA3) and I will have the ScanForColor function in column AB to hold the values for filtering the document.

Is this a Trinidad Scorpion?
Hi, I'll like the opinion of the experts here... This seed was supoused to be a Trinidad Moruga Scoprpion but to me this doesn't look at all like one... resembles more to a habanero...
Any thoughts?
I may eat my words but it does not like normal growth for a Scorpion.
Scorpion varieties, including the Moruga, belong to the C. chinense variety. Leaves are rather large and pods hang down.
Based on the upward growth of the your pods and leaf shape I'd guess you have a C. frutescens variety growing.
Looks to me like a Trinidad Sunrise Scorpion. They grow upwards like that and look somewhat similar. Since you said it was a Scorpion, this is very close.
It is an interesting looking pepper though. Let us know how much heat and how it tastes.
Here is a link that might be useful: Trinidad Sunrise
This post was edited by RonnyB123 on Sun, Mar 16, 14 at 21:45
This are some updates on my pepper.... I'm even less sure what pepper is this, the pods seems to be turning from green to purple...
Looks like a trinidad sunrise scorpion because is pointing up but also resembles a lot to the mustard habanero... Any help out there?
You sure that's not a red? When pods change they sometimes goes through different stages of color.Who knows, that may be the natural process for this pepper. Lets see what it looks like fully colored.
If it does end up Burgandy, we could go with a 7-Pot Burgandy if it does change to a purplish color? However, I am not sure if those do point upward. I'm sure it wont take long for the pods to finish developing so we can see the true pod color.
This post was edited by RonnyB123 on Wed, Mar 26, 14 at 17:55
Just found this. Notice the words "multicolored". Now we wait to see if the pods fall down as they ripen.
Originating from Trinidad, the fruits grow pointing upwards, very productive plants. Fruits ripen from green through to red and are multicoloured as they ripen. As pods ripen they hang down through the weight of the fruits. Heat level 700,000 SHU.
Thats the fun part about raising chili's from seeds or plants. You sometimes don't know what comes out of those packages of seeds. Sometimes it is too your benefit, sometimes it is not.
Remember: Patience is a virtue.
This post was edited by RonnyB123 on Wed, Mar 26, 14 at 18:53
Hi guys! Here is an update on this rare pepper... the purple pods turned light green again and some pods are turning kind of orange.... not sure if trinidad sunrise can turn orange...
I took this picture at night, so it look more reddish than actually is... I'll upload other pics later
Ok... now we are definitely into an "alien chili" field. Pods go from light green to purple and back to light green with some turning orange from purple?
I suppose the light orange pods could turn darker red as they mature.
This is becoming an interesting variety whatever it is.
I look forward to better pictures.
Well Guille, definitely not a Trinidad Sunrise.
Since you said it was not hot, I would guess now that it seems to be an Aji Dulce Habanero (Venezuelan Sweet). They have Orange, Red and Yellow versions. They have great flavor but no heat. Not sure why the pods pointed skywards in the beginning since I find no mention of that anywhere, but overall I would go in the direction of Aji Dulce.
Here is a link that might be useful: Aji Dulce
AjÃÂ dulce Capsicum chinense - In your picture the leaf and pepper size look like an 'Aji Dulce'. I've grown it a few times - I believe my original seed came from John Fiedlermeister here on GW years ago.
It is also known in the Dominican Republic as 'AJi Gustoso' or 'Aji Cachucha'.
Hello Guille.
Nice looking plant! I don't know what it is either, but I do have a question...
Now when you say you tasted it, did you eat the whole thing or just a piece? And if just a piece, did you sample it from the stem end? I ask because some peppersâ heat is only located at the stem end, where the placenta and seeds are. This is especially true for some early ripe (not fully ripe) pods. IâÂÂve actually eaten the bottom half of a pepper that tasted like a bell, but the top half set me on fire lol.
Anyway, even if itâÂÂs not hot, if thereâÂÂs some flavor then thereâÂÂs still a use for it. Cut it up raw in salads, use in a stir fry, etc. Dry and grind it, then mix with superhot powder(s) and create a more rounded, balanced blend you can call your own. Smoking before drying and grinding might be good. Be creative!
Hi Rick, I've waited a couple of extra days, a try a several peppers and they tasted like a habanero but without the heat... exactly like one... nice fruity flavor but zero heat...
I have red and chocolate habaneros and bhut jolokias and all have a great punch even though they are still green...
I guess guys were right is aji dulce :-'(
Aji Dulce is the main ingredient in a latin dish called hallaca. They are also used extensively in the Caribbean and south america.
"Why would somebody create these kind of peppers anyway? If there's no heat then what's the point?"
There are literally thousands of different peppers with no heat. I think you are focusing on the heat and not the flavor. The somebody who "created" them is mother nature. And she does things for strange reasons sometimes. (See Dragon Fruit, Durian, Romanescu, etc)
The earth has provided all this variety and still we feel the need to "improve" it. :(

Pastor in same-sex parent dispute remains jailed
MONTPELIER — A Virginia pastor who interfered with a custody dispute involving a lesbian couple in Vermont will remain jailed for refusing to testify before a federal grand jury.
Forty-seven-year-old Kenneth Miller was convicted last summer of helping Lisa Miller and her daughter leave the country in September 2009 to avoid sharing custody with her former partner. Prosecutors are trying to compel the pastor to testify against someone else involved in the flight, but Miller said his fundamentalist Christian faith prevents him from doing so.
Miller, of Stuarts Draft, Va., was jailed a week ago after refusing a judge's order that he testify before a grand jury. At a hearing Thursday said he hasn't changed his mind.

I have naturally curly, frizzy hair. This product helps keep my hair shiny and healthy. It tames the frizz a little, but doesn't leave a greasy feel.
A little goes a LONG way with this product, so start with an M&M-sized dot and go up from there. More or less for short or long hair.
The scent is pleasant, but took some getting used to for me. It smells like clean laundry. :) Not your typical girly, flowery or fruity fragrance.
It says it is a leave-in conditioner, but I do not see how. It leaves so much film. I thought it was dandruff. I've started using it as a traditional in-the-shower conditioner and that seems to be working out well enough, but my curls are not looking as hot as usual. I will not be purchasing this again.1
As far as the function of this conditioner, it works great. My hair was silky and soft, just what you want, but....the smell was too masculine. I didn't like and it bothered me most of the day. I didn't use all of it because of the scent. If they can change that, I would recommend it. If you're someone that doesn't care what the product smells like, then go for it because it works great and you don't need a lot of it. However, if you're picky about scent, beware, you might not like it and if you do like it, be prepared to smell it all day. Overall, I'd say good for a different leave-in conditioner.2
i have really thick curly hair. i have searched high and low testing multiple products to find one that doesn't leave my hair too greasy or too much like it has a ton of product in it.
i use this right after showering. it helps keep my hair from frizzing while giving my curls some help to keep their shape. i've had many compliments since using this product. i absolutely love it and this brand!
I expected Miss Jessie's Original Leave-In Condish to work like a leave-in hair conditioner in addition to prepping hair for stylish and helping combat frizz as some of the reviews states and it's also noted on the product's label. However this isn't much of a conditioner in sense that it doesn't make hair feel soft and moisturized though it does "condition" as in conditioning hair for more product & styling. I used this sparingly and followed instructions but it left a crunch to my hair-not good. It has a light, airy scent I like a lot because many hair products have an incredibly strong scent that can make me sneeze or give me a headache, I had no issue with this one at all.
I love the packaging and I will continue to use this to prep my hair for mousse or curl lotion and hair spray but will not use this overnight as a leave-conditioner or alone in my hair as a conditioner. Otherwise I like the product and will try more Miss Jessie's for my curly hair in the future. Hope that helps!

"Love the labels that I received! They are fun and the colors are really bright! It took less than a week to receive the labels which was fantastic."
"I am so glad that I ordered these address labels as well. I loved how they tied together the outside envelope with the card inside. We received so many compliments on our invitations as a whole, and I think the address labels really helped to tie everything together."
"I ordered these labels to use for my bridal shower thank you cards. They are slightly bigger than the usual address labels but they are so pretty!! The printing and paper were great quality. This is the 2nd time I ordered labels from here and I will definitely order them again in the future."

No more Photoshops on what the features of Hollywood's most famous baby would look like. Just more than a year after her birth, Blue Ivy gets another debut. And this time, she proudly faces the world.
Apparently, a photo of Blue leaked from Beyoncé's upcoming HBO documentary, Life Is but a Dream, airing on February 16.
Knowing Beyoncé to be extremely private when it comes to her personal life, this is just the second time fans are getting a (much-awaited) good look on the little one, since the songstress shared photos of her arrival last year.
In the photo, Beyoncé is holding Blue, dressed in a white crochet dress, and lovingly gazes at her with pride and joy. Now a one-year-old, Blue looks just like her father, Jay-Z, with some even saying that the precious baby girl has his nose and lips.
Blue will make her official debut in the documentary produced by her mother, which is expected to showcase more never-before-seen photos of her. It would also dive deep into the life of the 31-year-old superstar, including shots of her baby bump to disprove rumors she faked it, as well as talks on the miscarriage she suffered before conceiving Blue Ivy, apparently the lowest point in her life.
In a recent interview with Oprah, the pop star also opened up on the possibility of having a second baby.
"I definitely want another child, but it is also important for me to do what I love. I love to perform. I love to make music. I wanted to have my daughter, and maybe after this next tour, I'll have another baby," she gushingly shared with Oprah
She also said in the interview that she is looking forward to the Mrs. Carter tour and plans to bring Blue Ivy along and show her the world.
Beyoncé's world tour reportedly kicks off this April, with her fifth studio album on the way.

The Roots' ?uestlove has a lot on his plate, but the top priorities are clear: masterminding the 10th Roots album, Rising Down, and overseeing a yet-untitled Al Green album.
"I know Justin wants to be a part of this project," ?uest said of Justin Timberlake's probable contribution to Green's LP. "Anthony Hamilton did some honorary background vocals. Corinne Bailey Rae wrote two songs. She's a monster songwriter. We also have been talking to Justin's people now. Both he and Al are from Memphis. D'Angelo will be a part of this record as well."
?uest said he's been working on Green's album for three years, but due to their conflicting schedules, only about three months' worth of work has been done.
"It's been putting gray hair in my afro," 'Love laughed. "I'm not producing, I'm reducing it. I'm trying to take him back to 1974 — very dry, very dirty, very grassroots sound. One of the biggest mistakes of modern technology, it doesn't sound gritty, doesn't sound raw. A lot of the favorite records we sample from today, those were recorded in studios that were very lackluster. Those weren't the best studios in the world. Pretty much, I want this album to sound very cheap, very dirty … the vibe the Amy Winehouse album gave you. More than just the song, the creative aspect. I wanted the engineering to feel like it was made 30 years ago."
The Philadelphia producer said Green's album should be out next spring, around the time the Roots' next project launches on April 29 (see "?uestlove Says New Roots LP Was More Stressful Than Backing Jay-Z, Chappelle" ).
"We are 55 percent finished," ?uest said. "I will say this is an electric record, more synthy. The darks are darker and the lights are lighter. But all I know is making quality hip-hop stylistically. We tried to do something we never did before. Kamal had to be the sacrificial lamb this time. The one instrument that has defined the Roots has been the Fender Rhodes [electric piano]. This is the first year he's had to change his instrumentation and try other sounds out. We have a bunch of keyboards and synthesizers we're using on this record. It feels like the musical equivalent of 'Blade Runner' sometimes. We've also added a horn section."
This month, the Roots start the VH1 Hip Hop Honors Tour, where they will be playing their own hits as well as backing sets by Big Daddy Kane and MC Lyte.

How to Buy a Painting or Commission a Portrait

Terry Ludwig Pastel Sets
Galleries and Links
I was pondering what was the thread that runs through all of my work? Even though I paint in several mediums and love diverse subject matter, there is something that compels me to the canvas and gives a spark of joy each time I paint.
It is the illusion of depth.
This is interesting since I am pretty much a one-eyed artist. As a young child I was diagnosed with amblyopia in my right eye. This is a condition where my eye does not communicate with my brain. The world through that eye is a confusing jumble of shapes and almost images that never quite solidify. Having one eye also affects my sense of depth perception. Ophthalmologists say I see the world flat but I do not know any differently. My brain has adapted so I do not run into walls or fall down manholes. Toss a ball to me, however, and I will fumble and miss it. It is fascinating how the brain can adjust for weakness and compensate. There have been many one-eyed artists throughout history. Our flat vision helps us translate the world onto a flat surface. Our ability to compensate for that flatness also helps us identify visual elements that give the illusion of depth.
When I was first learning to paint, a friend, who is a very talented artist, would critique my work. She told me my backgrounds were flat and that I needed to "paint through" the figures. At the time I was so enamored with depicting the people that I failed to see what she meant. Then one day she was critiquing me as I was working on a painting. I added a stroke to the background where I used the broad side of a pastel to come up to the edge of the figure then lifted the pastel and continued the stroke on the other side. "Perfect, don't touch that!" she yelled. Stepping back I saw the difference. This gave an instant sense of space behind the figures. I had created depth on a flat surface.
Depth became the focus of my work. I learned how to step values to bring objects forward and push others back. I learned how to neutralize colors to make distance. I practiced different applications and found specific strokes that would enhance the illusion of air. Often the last strokes that I make are those that add nuances of dimension and space. Knowing how to control these elements has helped me when working with photographic references. I can translate the flat image of the photograph to seem more dimensional in my paintings.
To me it is pure magic that artists can transform a two dimensional surface into a dimensional representation where the viewer imagines wandering around and through the painting. The compensation for my weak eye has been the focus and joy of my painting.
I will be teaching a workshop, March 23rd - 25th, in Ann Arbor on creating the illusion of depth. The workshop also features a critique session for more information click here.
This is a work in progress. I love this composition because it is about layers of depth. The values and colors are pretty much in place. I will be finishing this piece by softening edges and neutralizing colors to push them back and adding a few hard edges and brighter colors to come forward.
What I learned
What a difference thirty days makes. I began this challenge of painting a watercolor a day for thirty days thinking that watercolor is a fast and spontaneous medium and that I would paint a quick watercolor each morning before I began my regular studio work. I did not realize how consuming learning the medium would become and much of my free time was spent studying all things watercolor. I also did not think I would come to love it as much as I did.
Here is a synopsis of what I learned
Paper makes a HUGE difference in what you are painting. Each surface has its challenges and benefits that suit different approaches. Play with it and make lots of mistakes to see what works best for you.
Water is pigment
When you mix up a puddle for a wash, mix up a large puddle. I mean really, really large. I cut the tops off of solo cups and used them to hold washes.
When you are working in a direct method, lay down the pigment then leave it alone. No poking drying paintings.
Moleskin Art Journals are great for quick sketches; they do not like heavy washes.
Moleskin Art Journals and small half pan sets are the ultimate light weight plein air set up.
Stretching paper is not too scary and a staple gun and gator board work very well.
Color mixing in watercolor is pretty much the same as mixing color in oil and in pastel.
It was nice to return to line drawing.
Working wet into wet takes trust but creates magic.
You can begin a large painting with a very light underpainting that will give you an idea of your values and temperatures. This is the same as underpainting in the other mediums.
Texture is an important part of watercolor. Lean how to manipulate different brushes a lot of different ways.
Fixing problems is not too difficult in watercolor but it has its limits.
It is best to wait until an area dries completely before you make changes.
Cobalt teal is the prettiest paint color out there.
When you want to control your edges use two brushes, one to lay down the paint and one that is damp with clean water to manipulate the edge. Keep the brushes in both hands at all times.
Use less water with each layer
The true colors and edges only show themselves once a painting is completely dry. Reserve your final judgment of the painting until then.
When I began this challenge I felt intimidated by the medium and after a month of painting I feel as if I have just begun to grasp the basics. I am not intimidated anymore but completely enamored of the challenge and beauty of this medium. I will continue to work on watercolor and will post paintings in the future. Keep the comments and tips coming, and thank you for following along on this adventure.
I want to send out a huge thank you to all of you who followed along, commented, messaged and sent me tips. I am listing some of the resources you suggested below, they were very useful on this journey. Another special thank you to those who purchased paintings, that means a lot and I am using the proceeds to buy more watercolor supplies!

Day 30 - last official day!
Paper: Arches 140lb, cold press
Pigments: Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Sienna, Aureolin, Quinacridone Red, Cobalt Teal, Opera.
Today is the last official day of the challenge, hooray! Obviously I will not finish this painting during the month of January, but I will continue to post on my blog about the progress. I will probably take a few days off however, my oils and pastels have been feeling neglected.
After the monochromatic wash I decided to focus on the face. If the face is not working in this painting then the whole thing will never be correct. Going in tight on the face and keeping the rest of the figure soft is a time tested trick of artists. Sargent was brilliant at this, his faces in his commissioned portraits are always beautifully rendered and then other areas in the dress or figure are just suggested.
I began by adding a wash of cool flesh tone over the face and neck. After that dried I began to add washes into the shadows and focused on getting the edges I wanted by keeping two brushes in my hand. One to paint pigment with and one that was damp with clean water to paint along the edge to get the degree of softness I wanted. For color I painted the light areas cool using, pinks, yellow greens and blues. The shadows I painted with a burnt sienna and ultramarine blue mixture. The reflected lights are blues, greens and violets.
I ended up lifting some passages that had gone to dark, then laying a wash of clear water on top to soften the entire area.
This is a very different surface than the Aquaboard, the paint sinks in and it is much harder to make corrections but much easier to layer washes.
This was a great adventure and learning experience. I am grateful for all of you who followed along and left comments. A huge thank you to those of you who wrote me privately to suggest materials, techniques, or websites to check out. Another huge thank you to those who purchased some of my paintings. I am happily turning turning that money back into watercolor supplies.
What I learned:
You can keep laying light washes to turn the form.
You can lift areas that are dark but only once the paint is completely dry
Tomorrow I will write my final blog on what I learned during this month.
Happy Painting!
Day 29
Paper: Arches 140lb, Cold Press
Paints, Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Sienna
I decided to end this challenge with a more of a challenge. Can I use everything I have learned over this month to create a finished 16x20 figurative painting? The reference is from a workshop I taught last fall. One of the staff members posed for a photo shoot and was terrific at playing up expression and using the props.
I decided to use the underpainting method I learned about in the Mario Robinson video. I did change it up a bit and decided the underpainting would also reflect color temperature as well as value. Since the model was posed under a cool light source anything in the light is cool and the shadows are warm. I used ultramarine blue and burnt sienna to give me two washes. One had slightly more blue and one had more sienna in the mixture. I know from the last painting that much of this will disappear as I progress and deepen the values.
This is my first time working on a stretched paper and it is harrowing to see how the paper will buckle when I put on the background wash but then magically flatten out as it dries. Maybe I did not stretch it well enough, guess I will just keep painting and find out!
I like the absorbing quality of the the Arches paper. Corrections may not be as easy to make as they are on Aquaboard but I like the look of the paint as it sinks in.
Using two different washes to map out the temperature as well as the value should help me set up my color mixtures easier.
Day 28
Paper: Ampersand Aquaboard
Paint: Ultramarine Blue, Quinacridone Red, Cobalt Teal, Aureolin, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Lemon Yellow, Chinese White
Today was all about refining a watercolor. That is my happy place with any painting and not something I have done during this challenge. Mostly I have been dashing off a watercolor, exploring new approaches, usually going a bit too far in the painting then repeating the next day. With this particular painting I wanted to take my time and really see how I could use watercolor to fully develop a portrait. Based on a video lesson with Mario Robinson, I began with a monochromatic underpainting, the second day I laid in layers of thin color washes, then yesterday I went full value and rich color.
Today I focused on edges and texture and had a very good time. Because this is Aquaboard I can lift out lights pretty easily which I did with a damp brush. I gently laid a clear wash of water over some of the shadows to soften the transitions of color and half tones. I wanted the painting to be good composition and not just a portrait on a board so I washed and rewashed the background and the clothing. In the light I added layers of yellow green and violet to create a feeling of illumination and depth then added violet along the left side of the head to give a sense of shadow.
I really enjoyed adding the texture and felt that it took the painting to it's final finish. I used a broad synthetic flat brush to wash in a final glaze of the background and found I liked the linear marks it left behind. I ran the same brush over her shirt and through parts of her hair. For a final touch I added lemon yellow onto a frayed brush and gently described the edge of the hair. I may be partial, because the model is my daughter, but I was happy with how the portrait came out.
Here is a close up of the face.
What I learned,
A thin wash of clear water will soften an edge with out disturbing the painting underneath.
Texture is an important part of the finished watercolor. The rough textures really help the smooth passages glow.
Really thin washes of transparent color are a wonderful way to create delicate color changes, just pay attention to the edge and be ready with a clean brush to soften where you stop.
Day 27
Pigment: Ultramarine Blue, Quinacridone Red, Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Aureolin
Still working on the portrait of my daughter. The whole thing felt to delicate and I wanted to push the values of the hair, shadows, background and clothing darker for more contrast. I painted the hair darker and the shadow on the face then the entire light side of the face went too light. I glazed the light side of the face with a wash of quinacridone and raw sienna then added a dash of ultramarine blue to ish it. The highlights in the hair became way too light I had to add several glazes of violet. All in all I am happy with the value range. Tomorrow the real fun takes place. I will be refining the form with light washes and dry brush.
Once the Aquaboard is completely dry you can use a damp brush and brush back almost to the white of the board
Start off much darker in the lights than you think you need to! It is way to easy to get dazzled with the pretty colors and ignore the impact of contrast.
Day 26
Paints:Ultramarine Blue, Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Aureolin, New Gamboge, Quinacridone Red.
Today I laid color washes over my watercolor monochromatic block in. I am still using the video lessons from Mario Robinson to guide me and see if I can get very soft transitions that round the form. My daughter was filmed under a cool light so anything in the light is getting colors that lean toward blue so the skin tone is made from washes of quinacridone red and aureolin which is a yellow that leans slightly towards blue. I am painting the highlights a sunny green and the half tones tend towards violet. Anything in the shadow is leaning more towards orange and red. For edge control I was careful to wet the area before I dropped in the color and if a hard edge did appear where I did not want it I quickly ran a damp brush along the edge. I really enjoyed putting the layers of color on and feel as if the painting is properly prepped for some big dark value masses tomorrow which include the hair, shirt and parts of the background. Hopefully the face is not too light and I will not have to rework the whole thing!
What I learned.
Layers of delicate washes can make skin tones luminous.
Keep three brushes handy, one to mix with ( It can be a cheap one), one to lay down clear water ( my squirrel mop brush is good for this) and one to paint with ( my lovely sable)
Paper: Aquaboard, Ampersand
Pigments: Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Sienna
A monochromatic underpainting in watercolor? That's a thing???? I was so excited this morning when I came across Mario Robinson's online course called " Painting Realistic Watercolors". I have long been a fan of this young man's figurative work and when I read the course description I had to have it right away. What intrigued me was an approach to watercolor that was balanced careful planning of drawing, values, form and color while respecting the unpredictable nature of the medium. It is the best instruction I have watched on how to manipulate the medium and when to leave it alone. I plan on building my last two portraits for this challenge using his approach. I did an underpainting of my daughter on Aqua board using a very thin wash of ultramarine blue and burnt sienna. I began covering all the lights then adding layers of the wash for the midtones and darks. The wash is very light and as you see the image is barely there but it is a map for me to follow tomorrow when I apply color. I worked on the Aquaboard because I know changes are easier to make than stretched Arches cold press paper. I am hoping the Aquaboard gives me the experience and courage to tackle the large version of the study I did yesterday called Page Turner.

Paper: Moleskin Art Journal
Paint: Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Sienna
After my dish of humble pie yesterday I decided to change tactics and move into some larger slower paintings. I prepared 3 of them today by stretching paper and doing the drawings. I was completely intimidated by the paper stretching process. Years ago I used the gummed tape that you wet with water and ended up with tape stuck to tape, tape stuck to me, and buckled paper. This time I simply stapled a wet piece of paper to gatorboard and voila, the paper dried tight as a drum. I thought that I should do some studies of the larger piece, so I brought out my trusty Moleskin journal then decided to simplify the whole thing by using two colors, ultramarine blue and burnt sienna. Tomorrow I will do a full color study but I decided to see what would happen with the two colors and was pleasantly surprised. I got a color range from saturated orange ( burnt sienna) to brilliant blue ( ultramarine blue) and then different degrees of orange - ish colors and blue-ish colors as I mixed them. The most neutral gray mixture took on a greenish cast. I think I will play more with this in the future. If anyone wants to suggest other two color combos to try I would love to hear from you.
Stretching paper is not so scary if you use a staple gun.
A two color palette can be a beautiful thing!
Since I was more relaxed today I just focused on shapes and temperature and the painting appeared.
Paper: 300 lb cold press, Arches
Paints: Burnt Sienna, Ultramarine Blue, Raw Sienna, Quinacridone Red, Hookers Green.
Today's painting is brought to you with a big slice of humble pie. I went to a friend's studio to paint from the model. He was dressed as a construction worker along with a big shovel for a prop. We started with a series of short poses. I used my Moleskin book and the half pan box for some of them and got some decent sketches. Then we went for the long pose which was 90 minutes plus breaks. I decided to do the entire figure on a 12x16 paper. This is something I can easily take on in pastel or oil but I forgot about the most important aspect of watercolor; timing.
I had an idea in my head how I wanted it to look but did not fully plan it out on the paper. The pencil line was light and on the first break when I put in the dark background wash I completely covered the entire background which I did not mean to do by now the wash around the figure was dry adjusting it made it splotchy The paint derailed from there with the drawing not fully in the figure became disproportionate I realized quickly on that I was in trouble but not soon enough to start again so I attempted to go into salvage mode, which means trying out everything and anything on the painting to see what happens. Quite frankly the painting was too complicated and too large for my ability in that short amount of time. What I would like to do is to tackle a larger figurative work for this final week of the challenge but take my time and post the process. I know I called my challenge 30 watercolors in 30 days but I will learn more by slowing down now and working some larger pieces including (gulp) stretching a big sheet of paper.
REALLY PLAN where you want the darks and lights before you start.
Do not take on too much in too short of time.
Really beautiful darks come from ultramarine blue and burnt sienna.
Make the wash puddle twice as large as you think you need.

Wonderful hotel worth a stayPosted Mar 22, 2015
Pros: Hotel location was good. Loads of restaurants to choose from. Staff were extremely helpful
Location: South end of the strip which is quieter than the rest of the strip but with easy access to the north of the strip.
Arrived as previewed, check in was quick and easy. Given a great room overlooking the strip which looked amazing by night (thank you James!). Room was spacious and had more than everything needed. There was even a television in the bathroom!! Arranged to have a meal at the MIX restaurant and the food was of very high standard. Staff were very helpful and were extremely accommodating. Housekeeping staff were superb and kept the room neat and tidy even adding little extras.

Great place to stay, with good views, and a luxury feel. Self-serve minibar was very expensive.

Elegant and friendlyPosted Mar 17, 2015
Pros: The rooms were beautiful, clean and comfortable. I enjoyed a relaxing facial. The Spa staff were very welcoming.
Cons: The only improvement would be the tubs in the suite bathroom. The sides very high and difficult to get in and out of.
Location: The location was great - close to the airport for arrival and departure. Adjacent hotels had great casinos, shopping and restaurants.
Starting with check in the staff was friendly and accommodating - went above and beyond to make the stay special. I enjoyed the fact that there were no casinos in the hotel but were only a short walk away. The lobby and hallways had a quiet, calming feeling.

One pool area was closed, so the rest of the poolPosted Mar 16, 2015
Pros: Location
Cons: More room in the mini fridge
Location: close to airport. Hub of excitement. Nice sports book.
Enjoyable. Nice room. Good views. Mini fridge was a rip off though. Took something out to keep something else cold and then was charged 50.00 for just taking something out and then putting it back in, without using any of it. Not happy with that.

Dear Jeff, Thanks for your Expedia participation. I am thrilled to know you had an overall excellent experience. I do apologize, however, for any misunderstanding surrounding our in-room refreshment centers. The very top shelf inside the fridge is available for our guests to use as personal storage for future reference. In addition, we do provide signage in every room with the stipulations of using the mini bar as a personal refrigerator. Thank you again for your remarks. We hope to see you again at Delano Las Vegas. Sincerely, Drew Effler Delano Las Vegas Guest Relations

Enjoyable short holiday on the stripPosted Mar 9, 2015
Pros: Very well appointed, very pleasant and helpful staff
Cons: 1. Kettle in the room, 2. Fridge large enough to store bought food 3. Shower gel for the bathroom
Location: the hotel is located at the south end of the strip, fairly close to the airport. a free tram connects with Luxor and Excalibur. Usual casino and Shops
Very pleasant stay at a very good hotel, close to other major facilities on the Strip. Room was in fact a suite, separate sitting room, 2 toilets, separate bathtub and shower. (televisions in living room, bedroom and bathroom, full cable connection) Very good gym. Only drawback to the room was that it would have been nice to have been able to make a cup of tea, but no kettle. We had breakfast at their coffee shop off the lobby (Della's), which promotes itself on using their own grown foods (2 large greenhouses back of the hotel). Not only was it very expensive ($5.25 for a cup of coffee, breakfast for 2, just bacon and eggs was $55), but badly cooked (very greasy bacon, runny egg whites). However I commented on this at checkout, and the hotel removed the charge. Also a small coffee counter in the lobby, very good coffee and pastries.

First trip to Vegas and chose this hotel on recommendations from a friend. The hotel was just breath taking from the moment we arrived outside until getting in to our room. The check in service was easy and the staff went out their way to make sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Our room was perfect and was just beautiful. We had a view of Vegas from our balcony and was supplied with everything we needed. We had lots to do within the hotel and made our trip special. I would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone. It's in the heart of the strip and access to everywhere is available from the hotel. So glad this was my first hotel I stayed in within Vegas.

Is that Amy Willerton? We're not used to seeing her without sopping wet hair...
It sure is. For those of you who miraculously don't know, Amy Willerton heated up our wintery telly boxes when she joined the famous ranks of the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here bikini hotties.
What did she do to earn such a status?
What you see before you is nothing less than out-of-this-world sexy royalty. Amy won the title of Miss Universe Great Britain in 2013 and went on to represent Great Britain in Miss Universe 2013.
Oh, that's right. Wasn't she going out with the one from TOWIE who can't blow his nose?
Apparently so. Things might have looked promising when Joey Essex and Amy met in the jungle, but they split up to avoid becoming, in Amy's words, "the next Katie Price and Peter Andre".
But hang on, isn't she mates with Katie Price?
Not quite. Amy first attracted the hungry eyes of the British public when she won reality TV show Signed By Katie Price. She eventually turned down a contract with Katie's management to go it alone, stating, "I don't believe the promises from Katie or her team were kept."
Yep. Looks like she's done well for herself, though.
Indeed. What's she up to these days?
She was last spotted in a park in some eye-watering Lycra, training for the London Marathon. And she incurred the wrath of the One Directioners when she Instagrammed this picture of her and Harry Styles at an Eagles gig.
No, Amy, no!
Everybody calm down. She told the papers she doesn't fancy him.
Phew. Will she be my girlfriend?
Well, you'll have to tear yourself away from the internet first, sonny. Though we're sure if you make a giant, love-proclaiming banner to wave at her during the marathon, she'll definitely run towards you. And then far, far away.
We have teamed up with 888games to offer you FHM Casino. New members will receive £12 totally free (no deposit needed) to try the site. There really is nothing to lose…join here

The Importance of the Non-harmonic Residual for Automatic Musical Instrument Recognition of Pitched Instruments
In different papers dealing with automatic musical instrument recognition of pitched instruments, the features used for classification are based solely on the fundamental frequencies and the harmonic series, ignoring the nonharmonic residual. In this paper we explore whether instrument recognition rate of pitched instruments is decreased by removing the non-harmonic information present in the sound signal.

Los Gatos HotelsLos Gatos is a laid back Californian town that's a major part of Silicon Valley. With several high profile tech businesses in the area, you might expect it to be all about work, but there's a charming small town atmosphere on the sunny streets. Just outside of the urban area you'll find several wineries that you can tour, with miles of neat lines of vines growing in the sunshine. Things to seeThe Art Museum of Los Gatos is a small, independent gallery that has a fascinating range of exhibitions. From work by local artists, to workshops and competitions, the museum is a cultural landmark in the town. The Testarossa Winery makes Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and you can wander around the vineyards and see the grapes ripening in the California sunshine. Inside the rustic estate you'll see many features from the late 19th century when the facility was first built, and you can enjoy tours, tastings, or grab a bite at the wine bar. The Castle Rock State Park has hiking trails and rock climbing, and you'll find gently tumbling waterfalls and dramatic rock formations in between the tall oak trees. There's also the small but practical Kings Court Shopping Center which has colorful, locally owned stores selling gifts and handmade items, as well as a grocery store and casual restaurants. Hotels in Los GatosIts location in the Silicon Valley means that Los Gatos attracts a large number of business travelers. That's why many Los Gatos hotels offer features to help you get work done on the road such as 24 hour business centers, conference rooms, secretarial services, and audiovisual equipment. There are also plenty of facilities for your time off, and these can include swimming pools, spas, steam rooms and saunas, bars, restaurants, and patios. Rooms also have plenty of amenities, and you can relax with extras such as bathrobes, minibars, and designer toiletries. Where to stayLos Gatos has a historic downtown district, with sandy colored buildings surrounded by palm trees, and lots of pedestrianized streets to make it easy to get around. There's a small town atmosphere with lots of independent and locally owned stores, and you'll find events such as the weekly farmers' market where you can choose from stalls piled high with organic produce. There are often special events such as live music outside on the balmy summer evenings, and you'll find a wide range of friendly restaurants from casual grill joints to stylish fine dining establishments. How to get to Los GatosNorman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport is just 10 miles north of Los Gatos. From here you can take the light rail to Winchester Transit Center and then change for a direct bus to the center of Los Gatos. There are also car rental desks and plenty of private shuttles departing from outside the terminal. San Jose is also home to Diridon Station, a major hub for Amtrak and local services, with trains as far as Seattle, Auburn, and Los Angeles. San Francisco International Airport is another option for those visiting the area, and it's less than a 45 minute drive away from Los Gatos with the journey mainly on major freeways.
