attempt 1...or 2
Monday, July 02, 2012
My schedule has been more hectic than I was planning on it being. Yesterday I went to my brothers house and ate a veggie burger with a salad with lots of avocado and beets with goat cheese and corn. No, it's not unhealthy but the portion was too big! Today my mom prepared dinner and of course i ate it. I realized that I need to make dinner for myself, even though I keep wanting it to work when my mom makes it, because I know I will get full by the meals I make, plus I will be able to control portion sizes. If I go over my daily limit by even 100 or 200 cals, it makes a big difference in terms of not losing weight. When i'm home I feel pressure (mostly from myself) to eat with the fam, but I need to just make myself cook dinner! Not that it's a big thing, but when my mom makes it I end up eating more because 1) i will eat before dinner when i get too hungry and 2) my portion sizes are bigger. Plus then I can't track calories and then i get nervous that I'm eating too much. But then if i don't eat enough i eat too much later.
tomorrow I wanted to go to spin class but i can't go anymore because I have a drs apt which i had to switch to the morning. And then wednesday is july fourth. ugh i feel like i'm never going to get on track with this! so frustrating.
I'm good once I have a routine established, but trying to establish one with all this stuff that I'm needing to work around is stressful and difficult!
sorry if it's repetitive, i have a million thoughts at once!

You might want to try batch cooking. For example, make Sundays your day to cook a few dishes that you can freezer for the remainder of the week. This allows you to control the calorie count as well as make sure that you are full. Also, this prevents eating what they eat just because you don't feel like cooking. Just an idea. You can still eat dinner with them, but it would be something you make. Honestly, I am thinking about doing this as there have been times (especially on Fridays and Saturdays after work) that I don't feel like cooking, so I grab something out.
Also, I know it's a bummer that you are going to miss your spin class, but you could always go for an early morning walk or run (beat the heat!). You could even go to a public pool for a swim!

yea, I mean they're healthy but I think for me to feel better I need to be able to control when i eat so i don't get too hungry and overeat and also so I know how many calories are in my dinner and I can track them. There's also the flip side when her dinners are tiny and i'm still hungry.

Maybe if you talk to your mom about even helping with meals to get a better handle on what happens at the dinner table can help.

GOOOAAALS! The World Cup is the perfect time to talk about goals.
Setting good goals is useful to not just artists but anyone who wants to achieve something.
When I graduated college and started my career, my goals were unfocused. Basically, I just wanted to get a job doing what I love, which in my case is of course drawing and painting. That was my whole goal. I didn't aim for anything more than that, and as a result, my career went nowhere.
Then, after reflecting on my career and examining the careers of people I admired (again, not just artists), I developed a master plan for my success that basically boiled down to four things:
1. Recognize the importance of setting goals.
Let's say you have the extraordinary ability to kick a ball farther and more accurately than anyone you know. As a result, you want to become a soccer player. But then when you're on the soccer pitch and the ball comes to you, you just kick it as hard as you can in whatever direction you're facing. Just being on a pitch and kicking a ball doesn't make you a soccer player; at this stage, you are just someone who can kick a ball.
To be a proper player, you have to know the rules and of course, recognize which goal you're kicking at. Only then will your natural kicking ability be applied towards becoming a successful soccer player.
This brings us to:
2. Target specific goals.
In life, there is usually some "goalkeeper" (such as lack of education, experience, exposure, etc.) that obstructs your progress to your goal. To succeed, therefore, you have to overcome the keeper.
If your goal is very broad, you won't have a focused target to aim for; it isn't enough to just kick the ball in the general direction of the goal and hope for a lucky bounce. Don't put your life in the hands of chance and luck.
In my case, instead of peppering the keeper with shot after shot, I examined my goal (to become a professional artist) and aimed intently at a focused point like the upper corner of the net (to become a professional concept artist for movies).
Kick after kick, I attacked my specific goal. Sometimes the keeper got to them and kept them out, but slowly I started scoring more and more often until eventually the goalkeeper realized that it was futile to try to stop me and left the pitch.
3. Loose route, firm objective.
From one end of the field to the other, you might know where you're headed, but there are defenders in the way. To get around them, you and your teammates have to run plays to set up your scoring chances. But what if an astute defender disrupts your play? You can't stop the game in order to come up with a new play, so instead you improvise until you can come up with something else.
We have many ways to get to our goals. Making a specific plan is an excellent start but it's vital to remain flexible enough that you can alter your original plan to go around or overcome new, unexpected obstacles.
Dwight D. Eisenhower said, "plans are useless but planning is indispensible." Plans are rigid, but planning is loose and flexible. Grow your habit for planning—your ability to think ahead and lay out the steps in your play, and if you're impeded, devise a new route or play to the goal, all without stopping.
4. Aim high.
I don't have a soccer metaphor for this one, haha. But I don't think aiming high really needs one, does it?
As far as rules go, it's pretty straightforward: go for the highest level job you feel you can reasonably do, based on your talent, skills, and experience. If you don't get it, go for the second highest, and so on. The traditional convention of "climbing the ladder" is inefficient because, not only is it a waste of your time toiling away at a job that you're overqualified for, your company is also robbed of the true value of your services for that whole time.
When I wanted to be a professional artist, people told me that an artist's life is too hard and I wouldn't be able to do it and support myself.
But I set a specific goal, made a plan, and became an artist anyway, and things have worked out.
When I wanted to start my own studio, people said I lacked experience as an artist and as an entrepreneur and I was doomed to fail.
But I set a specific goal, made a plan, and started my own studio anyway and things have worked out.
When I wanted to work on Hollywood movies from my studio in Toronto, people said no one would let me work remotely, that's just not how things are done.
But I set a specific goal, made a plan, and wound up on feature films anyway. Clearly, there were others who felt that the way things are done isn't always the way they should be done forever and ever.
So, keep learning and making yourself really good at whatever it is that you do, whether that's art, music, computer programming, or whatever.
Humanity has thrived because of our ability to recognize and elevate amazing individuals for the benefit of the group, so keep getting better and inevitably, the world will have no choice but to notice.
Good vibes to you all!

Thank you, helpful.
Such a great and simple metaphor, thank you for helping people in this way!
ahhh, how lucky I was to come across this journal! I like how you explain everything and I found this very helpful!
Thanks! I'll always keep these in mind!
Thanks! I'll always keep these in mind!
Thanks for the great tips! Keeps me motivated working towards my goal and improving my plan along the way!
Such words! //sobs//
Thank you, this was a great and enlightening read! I don't know much about soccer, but understood it nonetheless .
One thought though. With "Don't put your life in the hands of chance and luck", I don't fully agree. I've learned not to put my life into the hands of others, since others don't always have the ability to see or experience reality as you do (as you've pointed out too). But I do trust in life itself. Sometimes things head your way because you're ready for them (or need to learn from it). 'The teachers comes when the student is ready' and I consider life a teacher as well.
Anyway, stay true to yourself, not to what others what you to.
Thanks for sharing your 4 keys, they're inspiring.

I have trouble with number 1, so the rest of them don't seem to apply.
This is so helpful.
Thank you so much, Bobby
Just the motivational hit I needed. Thankyou
This is actually some pretty good advice. Thank you!
This is so motivating. Thanks for writing this.
This is good, Bobby. Thanks.
Great words of wisdom!
Loving the analogies!
Fantastic, thoughtful post! It really helps to see what kinds of things to really think about when setting these goals. And it's so encouraging to see someone successful support the idea that someone can set goals that are outside the normal expectations, to work for what you want your life to be. I've known that I need to set a solid goal, but keep thinking that I don't know what I want to do - but reading this I realize that what I want isn't one of the "normal" goals, and that's OK.
Thank you for this post.
Thank you for this post.
Wow, this was just what I needed to read. Graduating Art school in about a week with hazy goals, I need to work on that now. ^^
Inspirational as always, thanks Bobby!
Thank you so much for these uplifting words!
Thanks for that little bit of inspiration! ^_^~x
True to the core <3
I doesn't like the The World Cup, but right words at the right moment for me Thanks for the motivation !
Thank you Master
Great tips. Fellow SGean here =3!
Excellent tips, Bobby, thanks for sharing!!
Wonderful and true tips. Thanks!

On May 5, 2014, the National Asian Artists Project (NAAP) stated that they will present the all Asian production of the classic Broadway hit musical "Oliver!" The event will be held at The Pershing Square Signature Center in NYC on June 5-7, 2014.
NAAP's production of "Oliver!" will be under the direction of Steven Eng with choreography by Broadway legend Baayork Lee, the original Connie Wong in the original cast of "Chorus Line." This multi-talented cast includes Raul Aranas as Fagin, Anthea Neri as Nancy and Bonale Zohn Fambrini as Oliver.
"Oliver!" consists of a 65-member cast including 20 children, 25 professional actors and 20 members of the NAAP Broadway Community Chorus. This benefit production will be fully staged, complete with sets and costumes.
According to NAAP, they are delighted to be returning to The Pershing Square Signature Center located at 480 W. 42nd Street in NYC again this year to present this production of "Oliver." It will be performed in The Romulus Linney Courtyard Theatre. The show will open on Thursday, June 5 at 7:30 p.m. Additional performances are scheduled for Friday, June 6 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, June 7 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
A way to further their mission NAAP has produced several theatrical projects over the past four years. They include "Oklahoma," Carousel," and "Hello Dolly!" As part of their Re-Discover Series they use all Asian casts. Their mission is to showcase the work of Asian-American theatre artists through performance, outreach and educational programming.
The Pershing Square Signature Center is the permanent home of Signature Theatre. It is a three-theatre facility on West 42nd Street designed by Frank Gehry Architects.

Value: Pricer than what I'd pay for a tee, but cheaper than a blouse.

I have knitted with this yarn twice. I made the shawlette "Arlington", designed by knitterrain, aka Emily Ross. The end result was stunning! (mine is called Lichen the Lace, and you can view it on Ravelry). It's soft and the slow change colorway is beautiful, but there's a lot more grey in my Lichen than I thought there would be. Still, the end result is amazing. The plies of merino and silk don't want to stick together, especially right off of the ball. It looks like a sad, crumpled little yarn if it's not under tension. It's a bit fragile because of that.
The weight of this yarn is confusing too. It feels a lot more like a dk than a sport weight. I had to go up several needle sizes to get a gauge that I liked.
I prefer the 100% wool sport weight, as it's a single and almost a roving. However, the refined merino silk is smoother and has a soft sheen from the silk content, so it might be the better choice for sensitive skin, or people who just haven't fallen in love with all wool (yet!).

I've made two hats with this yarn in the same colorway. Each one was thrilling to knit. There was no pooling. This is a soft yarn with a slight halo. I just wish it would go on sale!

beautiful colors
By mafrie
from NC
Best Uses
- Hats
- Sweaters
This is one of the nicest yarns I've ever knitted with. The silk and wool combination is luxurious and with a generous 256 yards, it goes a long way. The "ombre" colors are unique resulting in interesting sweater and hat color combinations. It washes well in cool water (although the blues do run a bit). It's wise to order the same lot numbers for each project since the colors do seem to vary. The fiber on mittens (with daily use) do start pilling, but there is no shedding. The yarn is strong and tolerates pulling and tugging but it does have a tendency to split if you have to re-knit or rework stitches. Since it is ombre, the colors can be tricky to match a pair of socks or mittens but for scarves, sweaters or hats this yarn is a real pleasure and a definite treat to work with.

Is the yardage correct?
By LizR79
from Baltimore
First, I LOVE this yarn. It is so exciting to knit with because even with a simple pattern, seeing the color change subtly throughout the project is addictive. I know Freia makes a number of handpainted yarns with ombre color schemes and all are beautiful. I personally prefer this yarn because of the wool/silk blend.
I would mention 2 cons for this yarn, but neither will hold me back from using. First, it splits when correcting mistakes. Second, in some of the darker colors, the dye has not saturated the yarn. Sometimes, there are white spots on the outside of the yarn I think it adds to the beauty but you may want to inspect your yarn before beginning a project.
to WEBS - Are you sure the yardage is correct? The only wool/silk combination I have found is called 'Refined' and it is 165 yards in the worsted size.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Dec 01st, 2003
Running Time: 112
Director: L G
Company: West Coast Productions
Cast: Pandora (I), Monique (I), Johnny Depth, Wesley Pipes, Julian St. Jox, Cherokee (I), Babydoll, Carolena
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
For those who like big butts and cannot lie.
Most of this is standard, no talky just fucky Azz action. It's solid, as this series has been in the past, but there's nothing Azz-ceptional about it (sorry, we couldn't resist). The first scene is a little puzzling, actually, insofar as the setting is concerned. It begins with juicy-bottomed Cherokee dancing around a black stripper pole, and Johnny Depth enters to perform the ceremonial slathering of her buttocks with baby oil. But then they move to what looks like the inside of a posh jail cell. What? Where? How? Whatever. Most will likely be oblivious to such details, focusing instead on Cherokee sliding back and forth on Depth's dick in doggie.
There is one above-average scene, and it's the last, again with Johnny Depth. In an unusual scenario for ADA, this one goes the fantasy route, with Depth wishing upon an enchanted liquor bottle (that's pretty funny, you gotta admit) for a "light-skinned, Amazonian" girl. Sure enough, his wish gets granted in the form of Monique, a fine-Azz bitch in white, thigh-high leather boots and a white fishnet top that she leaves on as Depth sees how deep she goes. Their sweaty mish session is quite a pleaser.
Despite the lackluster audio on this vid, the DVD is pretty impressive, with slick Matrix-esque menus and plenty of extras (most of which, albeit, are also on the VHS version). Worth stocking.

Posted on Monday, August 8th, 2011
New York City got a little fancy last week when one of Central Park's peacocks decided to take an adventure.
Growing tired of his confines in the park, the bird decided to fly the coop for the day and hang out on ritzy 5th Avenue. Perched on the window sill of a condominium building, the peacock was an unusual attraction for both locals and tourists.
However, the zoo didn't seem to care too much as the zoo's director simply stated "Home is a short flight across the avenue, and we think our peacock will make his way across soon."
And sure enough the peacock did. The following day, he flew off the perch and back to his home at the zoo!
For more information about Central Park's recent escapee, check out the full article here.

Where "not good" you see is gorgeous inside! 've Spent wonderful days with my girlfriend on the finca, the landscape is an enjoyment for the eyes and hear there's a great diversity of animals. The landlady was very hard to disturb us without our holiday privacy. So if you are looking Beachlife and party takes place, surely something better for yourself ;) This was recommended rental car more than necessary - at least for our claims to the island can also be mobile. We do not know when we will be going back, but that we both want is guaranteed.
Wo "traumhaft" drauf steht ist traumhaft drinnen!!!
Habe mit meiner Freundin wunderschöne Tage auf der Finca verbracht, die Landschaft ist ei Genuss für die Augen und zu hören gibts eine bunte Vielfalt an Tieren. Die Vermieterin war sehr bemüht um uns ohne unsere Urlaubs-Privatsphäre zu stören. Also wer Beachlife und Party sucht, findet sicher was besseres für sich ;)
Das empfohlene Mietauto war mehr als notwendig - zumindest für unsere Ansprüche um auf der Insel auch mobil sein zu können.
Wir wissen noch nicht wann wir wieder dort Urlaub machen, aber dass wir es beide wollen, ist garantiert.
We had a great time in Arbejales. This house is much better than in the pictures. Is in a great mountain location, 30-45 minutes to Las Palmas. The house is lovely decorated, clean and comfortable. If you are looking for absolutely silence - this is the place! Many thanks to Christian and his Family, everything was perfect.
Nice clean well equipped apartment. Very friendly hoists. Would recommend to all my friends.
The Oasis is a wonderful and great accomodation. The house is surrounded by Lemon trees and offers a great view to the sea. It is well equipped, clean and very comfortable for Groups/families up to ten. Highly recommanded.
The place shown on the pictures has an open swimming pool. However if you 're in to reading all the small letters in the massive paper work of Inter Home you Will Read That the pool is open from the 15th of June. What à dissapointment for my daughter. Furthermore we had to pay for the bedlinen on top of the cleaning which was counted pro person. And of course because it was cold we had to pay for the heating although in the living room was no heating system, only in the bath and bedroom. The owners were. Ice although when people arrive in the middle of the night due to their flight it would be nice if there would be something to drink. The garden is large and nice decorated so I think in summer when the pool is open it will be a paradise. For myself I think it is deceive that Wimdu puts this booking through a link connecting to another website. In this way you pay a lot more and you don,'t get what is shown on the pictures. I will never book in this manner again because in the end you pay a lot more.
Wonderful place with great hosts. The apartment is spacious and very clean, the beds are big and comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped and the balcony offers a superb view of Eiger. We will certainly come back again.
nice sunny apartment, close to mountains, ideal for active holidays close to innsbruck and germany.
a bit 90's furnishing but everything clean and usefull.
Thanks a lot
We had a great time. The accommodation was good, room was clean and complete. It had a nice parking garage, a bit small but fine.
It was no problem that we arrived late in the evening (car trouble). The breakfast service was convenient and good. We had a great view of the mountains and we got some great advice about the area from the landlord.
We would recommend this accommodation to everyone who loves nature. But you do have to travel a bit (25min) for the first big supermarket.
Convenient to 3 metro lines; furnished; pictures of small rooms accurate; elevator. Shelves and dishes grimy; very noisy street (major road to airport) during week; no trash cans; smelly towels poorly laundered; some musty smells throughout; no Internet (borrowed from neighbor, though).
First of all, I was a little nervous because I had plenty of doubts and the agency didn't answer me, in that point very bad customer service I can't believe they take like one week to answer a customer email... Anyway one week before our arrival our host finally could contact me and I talked to her. Luckly Montse was a Spanish woman and we could understand each other very good. Despite we had problems in our arrival, she was very kind and understood everything, made everything very easy and was very flexible about the arriving time. She really cared about us, offering herself for any help we could need (finding supermakets, places to eat, and useful information) we are really grateful about that:)
About the house, 10-15 min walk from Piazza San Marco, good location, very close to important places and easy to find (difficult in Venice..) the house is exactly as described in the pictures, one big sofa-bed (very comfortable) one bedroom, the kitchen, bathroom and a small terrace. Despite was a little bit small apartment was very nice, comfortable and charming.
Against: it wasn't very cleaned, some dirty in the corners and under the sofa and furniture. I don't understand why we had to pay 20€ per person for cleaning taxes and other taxes when they left us the apartment not as cleaned as they could...
The oven didn't work (or we didn't know how to turn it on... Neither our host) and half of the stoves didn't work, and the ones who did was very low fire and we took ages to cook and to get the water to boil.
The other think I didn't like (but this isn't problem of the house) is that even is well located, it's pretty far from the train station, like 40 min walking, 1hour if you are taking luggage, so the best thing is to take the vaporetto and its 40 min more or less and 7,50€ each trip. It's not a really big deal but a think to take on count if money is a struggle for you. You'll do it if you are going to Treviso airport.
Anyway, we had a very nice time then, if I go back to Venice, I would repeat for sure! :)

The report is leftist rubbish. There are over 4000 houses available on Trademe in Auckland for sale under $500k and nearly 300 in Manukau alone under $300K. If there is an affordability problem there should be none at these price ranges at all.
Latest figures from the annual Demographia affordability survey underline the strength of the housing market.
They show the median New Zealand house price costs 5.3 times gross annual median household income compared with 5.2 last year.
A contributing factor is falling incomes nationally, as recorded by Statistics New Zealand, except in Christchurch.
Demographia rates housing affordability based on a median multiple – median house price divided by the gross annual median household income.
Co-author Hugh Pavletich claims that if housing exceeds three times annual household incomes it presages a housing bubble requiring political intervention to free up supply of housing.
The position is worse for homeowners in Auckland where the median multiple is 8.0 compared with 6.7 last year.
That places Auckland as the seventh "least affordable" of the 85 centres surveyed with populations of more than one million.
By comparison, Sydney ranks 9.0, Melbourne 8.4, and Australia's national median is 5.5. Among the most affordable cities are in the US; Pittsburgh (2.3), and Atlanta and Indianapolis at 2.7. Hong Kong topped the table, with a median multiple of 14.9.
The Christchurch multiple is 5.8 due to rising incomes there.
The figures may hearten some homeowners because higher values of homes may reduce the proportion of household debt.
But the figures represent greater hurdles for first home buyers.

9 Comments & Questions
Do you understand the concept of an "median" house price ? That you are referring to the availability of houses at the lower end of the market does not alter the facts as stated in the article.
I agree! A quick search of Seek found 100 jobs in Auckland paying $200k or more!
Clearly there is no issue with the housing market when these jobs are right in the range for an 'affordable income multiple'...why do any sort of analysis on a market that is clearly operating well when a quick internet search to produce spurious anecdotes will suffice!
Do make a point of reading closely what Alain Bertaud says about planners within the Introduction to this years Survey.
He is very highly regarded internationally... across the political spectrum.
I am somewhat surprised what Mr Bertaud has said, hasn't been reported on. Property and planning people need to read it closely.
The end is nigh!
Forget the foolish comments from real estate agents who trawl these boards (and other newspapers) arguing that prices will keep rising (you can generally spot them by the typos, bad grammar and poor maths on display).
Unexpectedly high inflation was reported today. RBNZ will be hiking interest rates tomorrow (well, between Jan and March). Property prices are in for a fall as a consequence.
NZ house owners, you have been warned...the bubble is about to deflate. And it's a good thing for NZ as a whole.
The high house and land prices are purely Council inflicted in pursuit of their dream of "intensification" which is a social, economic and environmental disaster.
When we purchased our house 23 years ago, the buildings were worth the same as the land. Now the land is valued at more than five times the value of the buildings. This is plainly ridiculous.
If the Council could be persuaded to stop rationing land and let Auckland spread North south and west and so form satellite centres the city would be both affordable and liveable. Congestion and other transport problems would be much reduced and children would be free to play in their backyards.
Bryan - you're right here and this has been a factor helping accelerate price growth. And you're right that allowing urban boundaries to expand is the right thing to do for Auckland's development (who in their right mind would prefer lifestyle blocks between Albany and Silverdale rather than growth in housing and jobs?).
But let's face it, the housing bubble in Auckland reflects asset bubbles elsewhere in the world (stocks, London houses etc) - fuelled by once in a lifetime lax credit conditions (low interest rates).This is all now unwinding as the global economy has nearly normalised.
And beware - once economic momentum starts, it accelerates quickly so I expect US tapering to be all done by end of 2014 and interest rates in the US to be rising soon after. NZ rates are already rising. This is never good for asset prices - forget notional "shortages". If people can't afford to finance a mortgage at higher interest rates, they can't afford to pay high prices. If this is economy wide (which it is) then prices have to fall for houses to sell. It's pretty simple maths.
