Mixed media drawing: graphite, colour pencil, acrylic paint and crayon on white paper. Late April 2013.
Great mood
I love this "barely there" tree painting. We see just enough structure to get the feeling across. And am I insane for being reminded of early Mondrian?
Thank you Gabriel! Actually I hadn't really seen that, but there is a resemblance to those early formalised tree drawings that were sort of very pared down and geometric. Best, Nicholas.
Amazing tones and sphere. Thank you for visiting my blog and liking my posts!
My pleasure.
Wow really nice technique, soft but evocative….you don't see many people these days working in pastels, I've not used them for a long while but these are inspirational….. :) :)
Thank you so much for such a kind comment. I used water soluble crayons called Neopastel 2. Best, Nicholas.
Great! Really full of feelings and sensations!
Thank you oxy21 for such a kind comment!
Thanks for visiting my blog – I was very happy to see your work. I love the relaxed looseness in each of the drawings, your style allows the viewer to breathe.

"A ghoul, as I'm sure you know, is a disgusting creature who opens graves and feeds on corpses."Mr. Sardonicus is a horror film from the year 1961. It was directed by William Castle and stars Guy Rolfe as the eponymous Sardonicus. It was based on the short story Sardonicus by Ray Russell.Set in the year 1880, the film follows Sir Robert Cargrave, a renowned surgeon who specialises in paralysis, who receives a letter from his past love Maude and is invited to the mansion of her husband, Baron Sardonicus, in the fictional country of Gorslava.When he reaches his destination he finds the reason for him to be there; Baron Sardonicus face has been paralyzed into a horrifying rictus grin many years ago and he wants Richard's help. But his face is not the only thing twisted...As with other William Castle films, the movie's main marketing gimmick was the audience's chance to decide the title character's fate by "penalty poll", the outcome of which supposedly affected the film's ending. Though rumor claims only one ending was actually shot, William Castle claims both were shot and the 'good' ending was just never chosen; given Castle's tenuous relationship with the truth, who knows.

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 1093 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by 50anniv Great location and city walkablity The location of the hotel is excellent for walking around to the city sites. Staff was excellent August 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by lake Tim's Review One of my biggest pet peves is to walk into to what you think (by looking at the lobby) a room and the lamp shades are all crooked and night tightened down and for the type of hotel the Sherton is I would have expected much nicer furnishing in the room. It also appears that when I called in previous to my stay and had the room extended for an additonal day that did not happen. Also had to call front desk regarding food, garbage and dirty dishes on the 31 floor lobby area. August 27, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Unsatisfied2157 Underwhelmed Sheraton has always meant great value and high quality of service/ hospitality. I'm not saying that my stay wasn't okay - it was just that. The staff were courteous and professional but overwhelmed by the volume and the quality of service suffered. We weren't offered Club rooms upon checking in and the swimming pool was overcrowded and we waited 40 minutes for towels to be replenished. Seattle is a favorite destination for me but I'll be staying somewhere else next time. January 3, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by bwbb Very Disappointed Can't adequately explain how disappointed I was with the service at Sheraton Seattle. We notified the hotel of a late night arrival for a club level room and experienced a late night surprise upon arrival. After pulling our luggage upstairs to the 22nd level we opened our room to find both beds had recently been slept in. After called to complain we had to drag our luggage the a 12th floor room in the opposite wing of the hotel. Service was non-existent at this Sheraton. August 7, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by DrMags Unaccomodating I went for a conference as a funded guest. I had a video chat meeting requirement for one hour in the morning (9-10) and I couldn't be in the lobby of the hotel, and the rest of the entire day (until midnight that night) I would be at the convention center. I have over 27,000 SPG points and am 10 stays away from gold membership (of 25). I feel like an hour of complementary internet is not a huge request. However, that is not what I am venting about, it was that the manager said it was not possible to apply complementary service in the room. As a computer scientist, as a guest in other sheratons, I know that it IS possible. The inaccurate information given by the manager was frustrating. I did change hotel rooms the next day. And I would advise you to look around just a little bit more to find a more suitable hotel. October 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by DLS892 Seattle Sheraton This is the ideal place to stay in Seattle. It is centrally located and within walking distance to many attractions and great shopping!! The staff was excellent, the Club floor was convenient and saved us time on our long weekend trip. We will definitely be coming back to the Seattle Sheraton! August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by pdxpixie Great downtown Seattle hotel Very nice hotel, reasonably priced for downtown Seattle and very close to our sightseeing destinations like Pike Place Market, the aquarium and waterfront. August 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by deceit Website for this hotel was misleading Website stated there was a Jacuzzi along with in-door pool. there was no Jacuzzi. I choose this hotel out of a choose of 3 hotels in the area, partly because of what the web site stated this hotel had available for their guests. i felt deceived. I had received a reminder of my stay 7 days before my arrival and again this reminder had the Jacuzzi in it. Because of all the walking that is done in Settle, the Jacuzzi was very much missed. And the small pool was very cold. June 28, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by spazot Close to Everything, but expensive This hotel is in walking distance of many tourist attractions & shopping. Valet service is very pricey & the beds are on the firm side. August 19, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by tanharsh Lacking of a SPG hotel I stayed for 10 nights at the Sheraton Seattle. I am an SPG Gold member, and have been for the better part of a decade. I have stayed in SPG hotels in Asia, Europe, Australia, and North America and this was one of the worst. It's old, the rooms are worn down, the bathrooms are poor. All in, a poor experience. I was not treated with any special care, I was given what I believe was the most basic room. The staff were pleasant but I would not come back if I had a choice. March 7, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by jetlag1 Comfortable and clean. Staff very friendly The check in line was out the door, but moved fairly quickly. The staff was very courteous. The doors bang closed and walls are thin, so I frequently wakened during the night. The staff was very apologetic and at my request a fan was delivered to my room for white noise. The food is good - however it would have been nice to have either Seatlle's Best or Starbucks coffee in the restaurant. I didn't care for the restaurent coffee. The meeting rooms were comfortable. Th June 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by suziqqqqq SLEEPING IN SEATTLE Held our 3rd annual mommy/daughter weekend at the Sheraton Seattle this year -- very impressed. It was an exceptionally busy weekend for this hotel, considering that it was an all-out frenzy for the public to see the gorgeous gingerbread displays, and there was the annual Jingle Bell run, as well as many corporate holiday parties held at this hotel. The staff was very helpful, courteous and professional. Our room was very clean, and the bed was very, very comfortable. I am amazed that our room was so quiet all evening long! We slept like babies! Also, we took advantage of the swimming pool and jacuzzi. That, too, was very clean and very comfortable. There was a feel of "casual elegance". I will recommend this hotel, and we will be coming back next year for the same special mommy/daughter weekend. Thank you, Sheraton! December 12, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ling01 Convenient Location, Excellent Service As a Platinum SPG member, the staff made me feel very welcome and valued. The Club Lounge is an excellent way to start the day with a healthy breakfast. The room was very comfortable and the check-in/check-out process was very quick and efficient. Overall, a wonderful stay. I will certainly return to this hotel next time I am in Seattle. July 27, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by tkbkh disappointed. writing a review is out of my character because i am usually very easy going. but, i feel like this needs to be brought to the attention of your staff because maybe they aren't aware of how they speak to their customers. last year when my boyfriend and i went seattle for our 5 year anniversary our experience was great. we loved the room and location so much, we decided to come back. this time, we decided to ask the concierge about where we should dine. we got recommended to the purple cafe which was okay. i decided to go back and ask them where we should go out from drinks that night. i know that seattle has alot of bars, i simply asked about bottle service. to my knowledge, most cities have bottle service. it was very disrespectful for the two women working the desk to give me a snide remark. i am guest, and to tell me, "you're a long way from vegas" and then give a sassy laugh is unacceptable. on top of that, one of the ladies decided to call someone on the phone and ask, "do you know what a bottle service is?", then hang up the phone and tell me, "i'm sorry, even ____ doesn't know what a bottle service is." i am well aware that the concierge with the keys are supposed to be the best. unfortunately her, and the other lady had less than exceptional service. we decided to go bar hopping with our friends that night. i asked them why the don't have bottle service in seattle, their response was, "of course we do", and they started naming different places. i understand if your staff isn't well versed when it comes to places to go out to. i just feel like as a concierge, they should know about clubs or fun bars, instead of just circling belltown. on top of their lack of knowledge, their attitude towards me was unacceptable. September 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by George82 Good Hotel This is a great hotel in an excellent location. The only issue was the temperature in my room. By morning, the temperature was too warm. The issue could not be resolved by lowering the setting on the thermostat. The maintenance guy checked the AC and only changed the setting so that it would run on high all the time rather than auto. However, it not change the overall temperature towards early morning. July 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by princessJJ surprised!!! I was pleasantly surprised at this fabulous hotel. I haven't stayed at a Sheraton for a very long time and the last time i was in Seattle the area was not this nice. This hotel was clean, modern, comfortable, great staff and the location was superb!! Kudos the Sheraton- August 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by SaraSLC Great Location and Hotel You can't beat the location of this hotel. It's an easy walk to all the downtown attractions and Sound Transit has a stop just a block away. The room was very comfortable and the fitness room was fantastic. August 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kate Very comfortable and clean The room and overall atmosphere of the hotel was excellent. Clean sheets and bathroom, nice view, very convenient to Pike Place Market and the rest of downtown, including buslines to go a little further out. My only complaint would be that free wifi should be offered in-room. I do appreciate that computers were available in the lobby area with internet access, but if I am paying that much for a hotel room it is my expectation that wifi is included in the price. March 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by NewMom2013 Great service for new moms The staff were extremely helpful and respectful of my needs as a new mom. Traveling apart from my baby, I needed to store pumped breast milk. When I didn't feel the refrigerator was adequate for my 5 night stay, the staff were extremely accommodating, allowing me to store my supply in the hotel freezer. Definitely added peace of mind, knowing that for my flight back to the East coast, there wouldn't be any spoilage of my precious cargo. May 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by NAW72 Hotel and City wonderful Hotel: Chose the "Green Option" for first time. 1) Did not realize that we would not even have our trash cans emptied. Normal room trash cans were very small. 2) Did not have any blue recycle bins in room. 3) Request for clean towels about mid-week delayed but received. Almost positive we will not choose to "Go Green" next visit. Beds were heavenly...most comfortable mattress we have ever slept on! View from room - rooftop and another high-rise building. . The City: 1) Overall...loved the location...you could walk anywhere. 2) The number of street vendors, beggars, out-of-work people on the downtown streets was truly overwhelming, and sometimes scary, in such a beautiful, vibrant city. Hated to go out of hotel by the end of our week there. We were so fortunate to have absolutely perfect weather while we visited Seattle. August 10, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by elizabeth2 Fabulous connectivity but needs another bar This is a superb hotel, beautiful, clean, and with a terrific staff. I was especially delighted by the comfortable spaces to plug in and connect laptops/wifi. But when packed with conference goers, as during the recent AWP, bar service needs to be extended into the lobby or another bar needs to be added. The lobby is a large and comfortable space to relax with friends apart from the lounge crush, but the single bar was impossible to reach to order drinks.. March 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SonOfAlex Great location This hotel is in a great location right across the street from the Washington State Convention Center. I have stayed here a couple times, and have enjoyed great service. I was given a room that smelled like smoke, even though it was a non-smoking room. The front desk staff was very helpful and found that the room next door was available and moved me right away. July 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Beri Great Hotel Centrally placed and comfortable hotel with a professional crew. August 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Binnsyboy Luke warm shower This hotel is in a prime position for the city of Seattle. The staff are attentive, friendly and welcoming. The hotel was very busy, thus producing a great ambience. My room was great, comfortable bed, quiet room. Un-fortunately the shower wasn't very hot, at best I would describe it as warm. The shower had plenty of power and was very clean. The receptionist said she would send up an engineer, before I checked out the shower wasn't any better April 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Damebovary Great! My toilet got backed up, randomly, during my stay. Staff not only fixed it right away, but it was done while I was out at dinner, so I wasn't inconvenienced at all. Sometimes it is things like that - a bad thing happens, but the key is how staff respond. And i felt very taken care of. PS Would have liked to have had free Wi-fi in my room. Lobby got kind of noisy for checking email and I didn't want to pay for it in my room, even with SPG discount. April 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Emily Reservation snafu My Seattle Sheraton reservation was made through a conference provider, but disconnect between provider and Sheraton somehow dumped the reservation. The night before my arrival, an online Sheraton rep tried working out the ongoing problem with my Starwood account, but I had to pay $30-40 more per night over conference rates secured in November for a January stay, an additional $200. Account is STILL inaccessible. Great hotel. PITIFUL reservation process. January 31, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Peeyush Horible Experience during checkout process I had a horrible experience during checkout where I was charged wrongly. When I contested, they told me that the invoice will be corrected but it is 14 days and I still not have received anything despite multiple follow ups. I will not recommend this hotel to any of my colleagues now and would suggest any of the guest who had already made such a mistake that they should recheck the invoice and not make any payments till correct invoice is shown to you February 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MrsB Comfy and convient This hotel is located in the heart of Seattle directly across the street from the convention center and only blocks away from both the Space Needle and Pike Place Market. The staff was very attentive and the room quite comfortable. My only complaint was the shuttle mentioned on the web site had to be booked on line, which was not mentioned on the web site so I was stuck at the airport having to pay for a taxi to the hotel. Otherwise my stay was perfect! February 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by nikki287 Above and beyond my expections Recently my daughter and I stayed at the Seattle Sheraton for her 16th Birthday. The hotel is in the heart of Seattle and has beautiful views of the city. The room was large and the bed was so comfortable I didn't want to leave. We had went out for dinner and when we came back the hotel had left a yummy dessert for my daughter with happy birthday written in chocolate. We were so thrilled. Thank you Sheraton for making our stay in Seattle so wonderful. October 1, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by SleeplessinSeattle21 Construction lies I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights/5days. The first morning at 8am I was greeted to the banging of construction. I called guest services and was told it was from the street. The second morning (Friday) I was woken up by the same sound. After a long weekend of walking around the building, I noticed there was no construction on the street and that it was one of their tenants moving in. I heard nothing till Monday when I was woken up by a jack hammer at 8am. At this point I called guest services and told them they had lied about the construction and it was their tenant. After speaking to the manager, they gave me a discount and a late check out. If I had known there was construction on my side of the building I would have asked to be moved the first night. Instead I lost sleep 3 nights out of the 5 I was there. This was extremely rude. August 29, 2013

'Our family will never be the same,' dad says after wrenching trial
Jeffery Trevino was convicted Wednesday of killing his wife, ending the anxious waiting for friends and family of Kira Steger, who was missing for more than two months before her body was found in the Mississippi River.
"I believe Kira would be very happy that he was found guilty," her mother, Marcie Steger, said outside the Ramsey County Courthouse. "Unfortunately she's not here. At least he's not walking around. He was found accountable."
After she disappeared in February, hundreds of volunteers scoured woods and lakes in an unusually bitter winter searching for Steger, whose disappearance quickly became a public cause and rallying point against domestic violence. She was among the first of several Minnesota women killed in domestic violence incidents this year, some in eerily similar circumstances. Finally, her body turned up in May near a barge in the Mississippi River.
On Wednesday, more than two dozen of Steger's family members and friends sat in court as the jury of four women and eight men filed in and delivered the verdict after eight days of testimony and 17 hours of deliberation. Her father, Jay Steger, dabbed at his eyes with a tissue and glanced sympathetically at Trevino's parents. Trevino's family sat across the aisle, his sister crying loudly on their mother's shoulder.
Jurors heard testimony that the couple were on the verge of divorce and viewed several photos of bloodstains in their master bedroom before determining that Trevino was guilty of second degree murder without intent. He was acquitted of one count of second degree murder with intent, meaning jurors believe he didn't mean to kill her.
Jay Steger said his heart sank when the acquittal was read first, but said that the family is glad there was a conviction on the second count, which carries a maximum of 40 years in prison, as did the count on which Trevino was acquitted.
Trevino's sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 25. District Judge Leonardo Castro will also issue his decision on whether there were aggravating factors in the case that merit an upward departure for Trevino's sentence.
"The amount of time he's looking at isn't enough," Jay Steger said. "I don't care if he got a hundred years. It still wouldn't have been enough."
Steger, 30, was last seen alive in public on Feb. 21 while on a date night with Trevino, 39, at the Mall of America, where she worked as co-manager of the clothing retailer Delia's. He reported her missing to police on Feb. 24, her father's birthday. Her body was recovered from the Mississippi River on May 8, a cut to the bone over her left eyebrow, her left index finger snapped above the knuckle, a tear above her lip and abrasions on the inside of her mouth that indicate she was likely smothered and possibly punched.
Assistant Ramsey County attorneys Richard Dusterhoft and Andrew Johnson told jurors that Trevino killed Steger in a jealous rage because she was having an affair with a co-worker and wanted a divorce. Trevino's attorney, John Conard, said there were too many holes in the prosecution's forensic evidence and that someone else killed Steger and stole her iPhone, which was activated on March 22 and sold online to a buyer in Indonesia.
Prosecutors said Trevino killed Steger after he got fed up with her texting the co-worker throughout their date night. Her last text to the man was at 11:44 p.m. telling him that the Minnesota Wild won their game. Prosecutors believe Trevino killed her in their master bedroom within two hours of that text message, put her in the trunk of her car, fueled the car at a gas station on Larpenteur Avenue about 2:10 a.m. on Feb. 22, and dumped her in the river.
Steger's family waited months to find her, and even longer to lay her to rest. Steger's body will finally be released to her family now that the trial is over.
"It will be so nice to at least have her home," her mother said.
They plan to hold a service in Wausau, Wis., where they live, and scatter her ashes in Costa Rica. A memorial service in the Twin Cities for the community members who helped search is tentatively scheduled. Marcie Steger said the family couldn't finalize any plans during the trial.
"I plan on putting her ashes in Costa Rica, because that's where she always wanted to be," Jay Steger said. As he recalled his daughter's love of the country and her hopes of returning there to teach English to children, Jay Steger also reflected on the grief visited upon Trevino's family, who traveled from Arkansas for the 2 ½-week trial.
Kira Steger was close to the family, and Trevino's 15-year-old daughter testified that she and Steger got along well. "I wanted to talk to them," Jay Steger said, "and tell them I know what they're going through, and it's not their fault."
Jay Steger wore a purple bracelet around one wrist in memory of Mandy Matula, an Eden Prairie woman who remains missing and is feared murdered by her boyfriend, who committed suicide. The similarities between the cases and the recent disappearance and death of Anarae Schunk shocked him. Schunk went missing after meeting with an ex-boyfriend on Sept. 21, and was found dead Monday in a roadside ditch.

A record 111.3 million people tuned in to watch the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots Sunday night in the Super Bowl, but the good news for NBC was shadowed by finger-pointing over an obscene gesture in the halftime show.
Comcast Corp.'s NBC and the National Football League partly blamed each other for the broadcast of British singer M.I.A.'s upraised middle finger. The network faces possible fines, although any punishment would depend on a coming Supreme Court ruling and the judgment of federal regulators.
In setting a viewership record, Super Bowl XLVI drew slightly more viewers than last year's game that had 111 million. About 47% of U.S. households with televisions watched the broadcast, according to Nielsen data, a gain of two percentage points from last year. Because of the growing U.S. population, the percentage figure was only No. 12 on the all-time list. About 60% of households with TV sets watched the final episode of "M*A*S*H" in 1983, according to Nielsen.
The obscene gesture came during the halftime performance featuring Madonna. The British performer M.I.A., whose given name is Mathangi Arulpragasam, was singing a lyric, "I don't give a s—." It was hard to tell whether she fully enunciated the scatological word.

It wasn't clear how many viewers actually saw the brief gesture Sunday or whether the Federal Communications Commission would consider it a violation of indecency rules. An FCC spokesman had no comment. One agency official said it had received several complaints about the performance by Monday afternoon.
NBC officials apologized Sunday night for not catching the gesture on their tape-delay system. The network obscured the screen a split second after it happened.

More on the Super Bowl
"The NFL hired the talent and produced the halftime show," an NBC representative said. "Our system was late to obscure the inappropriate gesture and we apologize to our viewers."
The NFL apologized Monday, saying that the gesture was "completely inappropriate," but adding NBC was at least partly to blame.
"There was a failure in NBC's delay system," said Brian McCarthy, an NFL spokesman. "There was no indication that she was going to do this. It was never part of any rehearsal."
A spokesman for the singer declined to comment.
The incident summoned memories of another infamous Super Bowl halftime show in 2004, when singer Janet Jackson experienced a breast-revealing "wardrobe malfunction." That drew a $550,000 fine for CBS, which broadcast the Super Bowl that year.

The CBS fine and many others levied by the FCC are still in legal limbo as the Supreme Court determines whether such examples of "fleeting indecency" can be punished without violating the First Amendment. The court heard arguments on the issue in January and is expected to rule by June.
If the FCC found that NBC broke indecency rules, each NBC affiliate that aired the Super Bowl could face a fine of as much as $325,000. That could amount to millions of dollars for NBC itself, but only if regulators apply the maximum penalty. NBC would pay the fines for the stations that it owns directly.

The FCC's indecency rules changed in the early 1990s to prohibit unscripted or "fleeting" expletives or images that broadcasters accidentally air. For years, the FCC generally gave broadcasters a pass when profanities or obscene gestures were made during live broadcasts such as the Super Bowl halftime show. That changed in 2003 under the Bush administration, triggering court fights.
Even if the Supreme Court rules that the fines are acceptable, the FCC has discretion in each instance to decide whether a fine is necessary, and, if so, how large it should be.

Under rating threshold (hideshow) It's often a bit difficult to know what I'm supposed to look after, like when looking for the watch, usually that means a wristwatch as it did in this case, but it could just as well have been the pocket watch. And if you follow a more loosely definition a watch could be any clock (at least any clock that can be carried by one person).

Under rating threshold (hideshow) you need to state what screen resolution this is designed to play at because its INSANELY small.

Under rating threshold (hideshow) liked the game... especially the sound. one thing: replaying value is not that high because objects don't change places as in other comparable games
Sep. 24, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Really fun and well hidden. A great challenge yet the rooms were too dark and it was a little hard to see what some items were. 4/5
Sep. 24, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Some of the objects are too small and difficult to identify. Maybe that's the point, but I don't really enjoy straining my eyes. The concept is nice and the UI is good. The sounds are great. Try to improve the art a little.
Sep. 24, 2010
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Very nice search and click game. The only complaint I have is that some things could be mistaken as other things. For instance, in the last level I was told to find a "horn," and I clicked the trumpet looking thing under the bed. This wasn't the horn, though. Nice game otherwise!

"Logical positivists have never taken psychology into account in their epistemology, but they affirm that logical beings and mathematical beings are nothing but linguistic structures."
"The question was a fashionable one, whether a definite line exists between psychological and physiological phenomena in human activity; and if so, where it lies?"
"Ideologies aren't all that important. What's important is psychology.
The Democratic constituency is just like a herd of cows. All you have to do is lay out enough silage and they come running. That's why I became an operative working with Democrats. With Democrats all you have to do is make a lot of noise, lay out the hay, and be ready to use the ole cattle prod in case a few want to bolt the herd.
Eighty percent of the people who call themselves Democrats don't have a clue as to political reality.
What amazes me is that you could take a group of people who are hard workers and convince them that they should support social programs that were the exact opposite of their own personal convictions. Put a little fear here and there and you can get people to vote any way you want.
The voter is basically dumb and lazy. The reason I became a Democratic operative instead of a Republican was because there were more Democrats that didn't have a clue than there were Republicans.
Truth is relative. Truth is what you can make the voter believe is the truth. If you're smart enough, truth is what you make the voter think it is. That's why I'm a Democrat. I can make the Democratic voters think whatever I want them to."
"A writer must always try to have a philosophy and he should also have a psychology and a philology and many other things. Without a philosophy and a psychology and all these various other things he is not really worthy of being called a writer."
"In genetic epistemology, as in developmental psychology, too, there is never an absolute beginning."

Does anyone else have the feeling that this month just flew by?
It's a glorious sunny day here in Munich and while 98 % of the poplulation will be headed to the O'fest, dh decided to take me south into the Alps, view the fall foliage (not in full glory yet but worth taking a look at.

Well, no surprises here, 17 days late on reporting progress. Good news is that I am slightly better at meeting goals that writing blogs.
This February is a different month for me because my little family is going on vacation!! We are going away for 8 days (for my work and for vacation to Disneyland). It is also a short month and I didn't meet all of my goals for January. I did think about this at the beginning of the month, I am not a total slacker. So, I decided to keep almost the same goals going - plus my motivational collages are so nice and I am not ready for new ones!
Here were the Jan goals and how I did in January:
-Pick up desk pile - did not do it yet, I moved my computer instead, haha
-Organize clothes - nope
-Organize bedding - nope
-Organize closet - only part of it
-Pay USM bill (taking 1 graduate level class this month - my first!) - done
-Set up Mint (online budget making and tracking) - not done
-Set guidelines for clean eating - not done, got thrown off by new veg lifestyle in
-Eat non-yogurt breakfast 1x per week - EXCEEDED!
-Track food daily - did almost every day in Jan
Health & Exercise:
-Floss 2x per week - did pretty well
-Go to kickboxing once - didn't make it, my life seems scheduled around zumba love
-Go to gym 2x per week - EXCEEDED (but I knew I would), went 12 times
-Get to work by 8:15am 2x per week - happened sometimes, but not 2x per week
-Read for 20mins 2x per week - done, class made this easy
-Follow school board - done
So. . . it was pretty good. House stuff is clearly low priority in my mind, and exercise and nutrition stuff is higher priority and is easier for me to do. I also think it is more important so I am fairly pleased with myself. I have also done fairly well at saving money, especially recently. I have resisted the urge to go out to eat many times, and have mostly limited myself to 1 lunch out a week, usually less than $10. I also have not been going out to bars on weekends like I had been, which has saved some substantial cash, although I am starting to feel antisocial because that is how I usually see most of my friends. Good thing my two closest friends come to zumba with me at least once a week.
For Feb. I have mostly been focusing on saving money, getting to the gym, not eating dairy for breakfast as much, and on completing my reading / classwork. I am not tracking food this month because I knew it wouldn't happen over vacation. My weight is staying down and I am remaining mindful of what I consume.
I am stalled on the clean eating because when I started reading through recipes there was a lot of meat. My partner is not eating meat anymore and he cooks, so I am only eating meat when it is too good to turn down (superbowl wings at Mom's house, taste testing chilli at whole foods, etc.). We still eat fish about once a week. I do want to get back to tracking in March and pay close attention to protein and make sure I am eating enough in general, because I did notice a calorie drop when I was tracking in January.
We leave in 4 days, and I am SOOO excited :)
I have always been horrible at keeping a consistent blog or journal. Ha!
It is 2012 and I have joined the spirit of goal making, with my own twist. As I have learned through SparkPeople, it is very important to make ACHIEVABLE goals. I have set goals for January, because month to month makes more sense to me and allows me to be more specific. So instead of "keep the house picked up" I have a few things I want to get organized this month. . . then I will continue, and likely repeat.
My January 2012 goals are posted on my refrigerator with a little box for each week (divided if there are multiple times per week) and I will check them off as I go. I do love to check and cross things off that I have accomplished!
-Pick up desk pile
-Organize clothes
-Organize bedding
-Organize closet
-Pay USM bill (taking 1 graduate level class this month - my first!)
-Set up Mint (online budget making and tracking)
-Set guidelines for clean eating
-Eat non-yogurt breakfast 1x per week (trying to cut down dairy but love my yogurt!)
-Track food daily
Health & Exercise:
-Floss 2x per week
-Go to kickboxing once (I have been doing zumba only!)
-Go to gym 2x per week
-Get to work by 8:15am 2x per week (supposed to be here at 8, but no one cares and it is more often 9 for me)
-Read for 20mins 2x per week (I never read, and have lots that I want to!)
-Follow school board
Sooooooo. . totally do-able, especially because I already go to the gym 2 times a week and have been very good about tracking nutrition in the past.
New for me is that I made a motivational collage for the first time ever! I even made 2! They are the same pictures, one for home and one for work to remind me of my goals.
I also need to SAVE MONEY because my mini family is headed to DisneyLand on Feb 21st and I failed miserably at saving money through the holidays. The upside is that the easiest way to save money is to not go out to eat. . . which is also the easiest way to meet my nutrition goals! Just need to keep telling myself that every day!
January flew by! I couldn't find my camera so never posted the "after" pictures of December / "before" pictures for January. My boyfriend just found it this week, so I will try to take one by tomorrow and it will just cover 2 months!
Weight loss goal: Reach goal weight of 164 and still be at or below by the end of the month. And REWARD myself when I get there. With at least a haircut if not also a massage and/or a new piece of workout clothing.
Ok, I have been struggling with this. . . my weight has totally been fluctuating! I use my wii fit to weigh myself (irregularly) and here is what has been going on:
12/20: 168.9
12/27: 167.8
1/6: 164.2 (woohoo, so close to goal)
1/15: 162.7 (was ready to celebrate, but cautious)
1/17: 163.6 (OK maybe this is real)
1/23: 166.9 (grrr!!)
1/24: 168.7 (Ahhh!, same as a month ago, right back up!)
2/1: 162.3 (yipee again)
But seriously, that is some crazy fluctuation. I have been doing the SAME exercise and pretty much the SAME calories this whole month of January, so I am not really understanding why I gained 5 lbs in a week and then lost 6 lbs the next week.
I have been measuring, and there is really hardly any difference. I am not sure if it is like time of day, super sensitive scale, bloating, or what, but it is certainly frustrating (and as you can see, resulted in my not weighting myself that much).
I want to celebrate and set a new goal, but it is tough when I feel like I haven't nailed the original goals.
I did buy myself 1 reward though, Zumba toning sticks, which I will use on my Friday night Zumba toning classes. I am rewarding myself for my dedication to the gym and for sticking with a routine! I do need a haircut though!
Fitness goal: Attend a group fitness class at least twice a week. My hope is to Kickbox Monday and Wednesday and Zumba on Friday and Sunday. I also want to keep paying attention to my knees, they are still aching sometimes. My goal is to do my knee exercises every time I go to the gym.
I kicked some total booty on this one! Yippee! I can't believe how dedicated I have been to the gym! It started in the middle of December, so it must be a habit by now, right?
We have been getting a lot of snow in Maine, so that has made it a bit of a challenge, but I have still been meeting my goals - and feeling happy and proud about it! I have noticed that going to classes is good for my body and my mind.
(of course my fitness reports aren't showing up on my computer right now, grr!)
week 1: 1 zumba and 1 kickboxing (I had to travel for work this week)
week 2: 1 zumba, 1 zumba toning, and 1 kickboxing. + 1 day of shoveling
week 3: 1 zumba, 2 kickboxing (and 1 date night so no toning!)
week 4: 2 zumba, 1 zumba toning, 1 kickboxing, and 1 30mins on the recumbent bike because I got home from work late and was mad to miss kickboxing!)
Go me! And I did zumba on Sunday the 30th and kickboxing the 31st.
Nutrition goal: Track my food and stay within my range. Recalculate once I hit goal weight and consider all of the new exercise I have been doing. December's goal of no night snacking was tough. . . I would still like to reduce / stop night snacking, but this month I just want to keep a close eye on it and work on reducing it. I found that sometimes snacks were still in my calorie range and I don't want to be hard on myself about that. My new goal for night snacking will be to keep it at a minimum, keep it within range, and MEASURE it out first. No more containers of trail mix at the coffee table!
I did figure out how to recalculate, and then was scared because it went up SO MUCH and it was based on estimated calories burned during my fitness classes. My friend has a heart rate monitor but she weighs slighly more than me, and of course everyone works out at different levels. I have tried to base my calories burned on that. She burns about 600 calories in Zumba and I usually low ball it to about 400 for me. Kickboxing, I let Spark People calculate and that usually comes in around 600 calories. I have set my goal to burn about 360 per cardio day - 4 x a week (which I don't always meet). So this puts me in the calorie range of 1,850 - 2,200 which is up from like 1,300 - 1,500 which is what I was doing before I made this adjustment. It seems scary (especially since I had the mid month weight gain). It is hard for me to grasp that this all counts "over time" so eating 1,800 calories on Thursday when I am not exercising seems odd. I have really been hovering around 1,500 calories a day, some days more, some days less.
I have been tracking EVERY DAY! (even alcohol and poker night snackies)
I have curbed the late night snacking, but haven't kept as great track of that so I can't really report on it. I did stop buying the trail mix ;)
I took my measurements at the beginning of the month and will post my changes at the end of the month. I will take my December after / January before photo VERY soon!
yes. . .this is STILL coming soon. . .
I really liked having a set of things to work on for December and I think monthly goals make a lot more sense than yearly goals. I have made some significant changes in my life at kind of "random" points this past year, so I don't want to try to lay it all out for a whole year.
First, I will say that in 2010 I: joined Spark People, lost 16lbs overall, quit drinking Diet Coke / dark soda in general (still have occasional Ginger Ale), and joined a gym.
I am starting a bit late here in the first week of January, but I have had an incredible time adjusting back to things after the madness of new things for Christmas, needing to reorganize and clean the house, coming back to work after almost 2 weeks of vacation, and getting an IPad and spending tons of time with it and not on the internet / Sparking as much as in the past. (Although I have been tracking nutrition daily!, going to the gym, and thinking about my goals!)
Weight loss goal: Reach goal weight of 164 and still be at or below by the end of the month. And REWARD myself when I get there. With at least a haircut if not also a massage and/or a new piece of workout clothing. I am lucky to have lots of supportive people around me who will also share my happiness when I hit my goal!
Fitness goal: Attend a group fitness class at least twice a week. My hope is to Kickbox Monday and Wednesday and Zumba on Friday and Sunday. I also want to keep paying attention to my knees, they are still aching sometimes. My goal is to do my knee exercises every time I go to the gym.
(For week 1 I went 3 times because I had a work related trip on Monday)
Nutrition goal: Track my food and stay within my range. Recalculate once I hit goal weight and consider all of the new exercise I have been doing. December's goal of no night snacking was tough. . . I would still like to reduce / stop night snacking, but this month I just want to keep a close eye on it and work on reducing it.

My new goal for night snacking will be to keep it at a minimum, keep it within range, and MEASURE it out first. No more containers of trail mix at the coffee table!
I took my measurements at the beginning of the month and will post my changes at the end of the month. I will take my December after / January before photo VERY soon!
I enjoyed having a challenge for the first time, but feel that December was definitely a challenging month for a challenge!! I didn't quite meet my goals but I was definitely happy and proud of myself for what I did do.
Weight Loss Goal: My goal was -4 lbs by 1/1/11 (to reach goal weight!)
I was bad and didn't weigh myself until 1/6/11 and I was just above 164! So I am SOOO CLOSE but will not count it as victory until I am seeing it a bit more consistently. Either way, after indulging in Christmas cookies and egg nog I was happy to see a weight loss
: Goal was: Exercise at least 3 times a week: at least 20 minutes of Wii Fit + knee strengthening exercises OR 30mins / 115 cals of Wii Fit OR 20 minutes of My Fitness Coach
Well I didn't stick to the Wii Fit thing, but instead I joined a gym and started going to group fitness classes. I will have this as my goal for January. I feel like I exceeded my goal here and exercised at least 3 x a week for all weeks except Christmas when I was away, I think.
Nutrition Goal: Goal was: Reduce snacking after dinner (have been doing it pretty much every night and want to cut down to twice a week at the maximum)
Well I definitely reduced snacking but did not get it down to less than two nights a week much. Christmas was especially tough. This was certainly the most challenging aspect this past month!
Challenges that I overcame:
+ Exercise. I have not consistently exercised for a long time and am so proud of myself for squeezing it into this busy month. I took the exercise out of my home, which has made things easier.
I hope that by January I will have:
I hoped to:
+ A more toned body
+ Better balance
+ Non achy knees
+ A huge smile because I DID IT!
And ALL are true! I am not at goal yet, but so close I can feel it. I have noticed my balance has gotten a lot better. My knees are still achy at times and is something I will be working on in January, but I think it sometimes comes from how I sit on the couch (haha) which is more than exercise can fix. I cannot say enough how much happier I have been this past month just from going to group exercise class. It has been so good for me in many ways and I am planning to keep the momentum up for months to come!
I am going to count it has a 3lb loss. . . and I lost 1" in my waist and 1" of my "flub", as I call it, which seems below my waist and above my hips, so I decided to measure it on it's own! Every other measurement stayed about the same. I will post my "after" pictures ASAP, still need to take them but better late than. . . later

Things I liked:Best hollow points made in reference to expansion. They do expand.
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:Very accurate for me but accuracy you get will depend on your rifle.
Things I liked:Very accurate in my X20S. Great knockdown for doves and pigeons at up to 40 yds.
Things I would have changed:A bit more pointed tip for better brush penetration might help. Loses too much power if it has to punch through a few layers of small branches.
Things I liked:Works well in my Beeman R10. Proving to be a solid hard hitting pellet, works well for small pest control. Accuracy is good so far. Will see how they workmout after going through a full tin.
Things I would have changed:Screw top lid for tin.
What others should know:Quality is good, my Beeman R10 really seems to like this hunting pellet.

Schalk contracts meningitisComment on this story
Springbok and Stormers rugby player Schalk Burger was on Wednesday diagnosed as having contracted bacterial meningitis, according to a family spokeswomen.
"Given a successful recovery, he will remain in hospital for the next 14 days, whereafter it will be at least another six weeks before he will be fit for playing," Fiona de Souza, spokeswomen for the Burger family, said in a statement on Thursday.
"We would like to thank the specialists looking after him, and who are doing a marvellous job, as well as everyone who has sent their best wishes, given the tough time he, his wife Michele, and son Schalk are going through."
Burger contracted the infection following an operation to reduce pressure on a nerve that was influencing the performance of his calf muscle.
Bacterial meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord.
This is the latest in a string of setbacks for the Stormers captain, who has been sidelined since the beginning of the 2012
Super Rugby season after he underwent surgery for a knee injury.
His return was further delayed when he picked up a calf strain in the pre-season. - Sapa

From racially diverse battle reenactments to seminars on John Brown, sesquicentennial events are revealing just how much our understanding of history has changed in the past 50 years
Civil War reenactors representing the all-black Union force portrayed in the movie Glory join reenaactors representing Confederate units for a South Carolina ceremony honoring black Union soldiers earlier this year. REUTERS/Harriet McLeod
Americans were exuberant in 1961 at the prospect of the upcoming Civil War centennial celebrations. For southerners, it was a chance to unfurl Confederate battle flags and ponder the character and heroism of such iconic figures as Robert E. Lee and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. Families could watch as reenactors brought to life memorable battles such as First Manassas and Gettysburg, where lessons could be taught about the common bonds of bravery and patriotism that animated the men on both sides. There would be no enemies on the battlefields of the 1960s.

So where are we now, as we make our way to the end of the first full year of the Civil War sesquicentennial? Well, if you were to listen to the mainstream media Americans could not be more divided over the central issues of the Civil War. The standard narrative pits northerners against southerners and blacks against whites. Spend enough time with FOX News, MSNBC, or CNN and you'll hear about almost daily controversies surrounding the public display of the Confederate flag. The pessimistic tone of these reports belies an important truth: the very fact that we can have these debates at all reflects how far we've come in the past 50 years.
When our grandparents geared up for celebrations in the early 1960s, the nation's collective memory was still dominated by the Lost Cause narrative. In this version of events, which started to gain popularity right after the Civil War, southern gentlemen fought valiantly against a much stronger (and less scrupulous) northern army, and their aim was to protect states' rights and an old-fashioned way of life. Slaves were portrayed as contented and loyal when they were discussed at all; the real tragedy of the war was seen as the brother-against-brother divide between white men.
On Newsstands Now
But before the 1961 celebrations began, problems festered just below the surface. The decision of the Civil War Centennial Commission to hold its first ceremony in the southern city of Charleston, South Carolina, in April 1961 raised the problem of how black delegates would be able to take part, given the continued practice of segregation in local hotels. Even the intervention of President Kennedy (in office for only two months) and an attempt at compromise could not stop the delegations from New Jersey, New York, California, and Illinois from protesting the opening ceremony.
As much as white Americans wanted to celebrate and remember their preferred interpretation of the war, the continued problem of race and the ongoing Civil Rights struggle served as a reminder that not all was well. Indeed, the images of Lee and Jackson were even then being challenged on a daily basis by the names of Martin L. King, Rosa Parks, Medgar Evers, Emmett Till, and news of school desegregation, lunch counter sit-ins and Freedom Riders. Writers emphasized the centrality of racial issues as a cause of secession. Robert Penn Warren wrote in The Legacy of the Civil War, a history published during the centennial, "Slavery looms up mountainously" in the Civil War narrative "and cannot be talked away." And the Richmond Afro-American noted that "the Union might not have been saved but for the sacrifices made by colored soldiers."
While events continued into 1965, the crowds were smaller and their enthusiasm diminished. Confederate flags now stood atop southern state capital buildings not simply as symbols of "Massive Resistance," but also as a defense of a past that had come under increasing attack.
Looking back over the past 50 years, we can see even more clearly how the Lost Cause narrative began to unravel. By the end of the 1970s, changes to the racial profile of local and state governments, especially in the South, allowed African Americans to shape how their communities commemorated the past. New monuments rose up and key public sites were renamed. Historic places such as Colonial Williamsburg began to address some of the more challenging aspects of their pasts, such as slave auctions.
Meanwhile, popular television shows like Roots and, later, Ken Burns's epic PBS series The Civil War and the Hollywood blockbuster Glory, introduced the general public to a richer and more inclusive narrative. This seismic cultural shift was guided not only by political changes but by scholarship that challenged both the Lost Cause interpretation and the Gone With the Wind tragedy of Reconstruction. We know much more than we did 50 years ago.
Take, for instance, the way we marked the beginning of the sesquicentennial. Back in 1961, it was no surprise that the Centennial Commission chose to launch the celebration at Fort Sumter, South Carolina. Choosing that location helped the public avoid dwelling on the cause of secession or the bitter debates over the expansion of slavery that took place throughout the 1850s. It was easier to imagine that soldiers on both sides had simply fallen from the sky and onto the battlefield.

Beyonce dropped her fifth solo record without warning last Friday around midnight, and the only post-release promotion she's done thus far has been a couple of explanatory, behind-the-scenes-esque videos about the making of the album. The first, "Self-Titled #1″ was posted the night of Beyonce's release, and a second was posted on YouTube and Bey's Facebook page last night. "Self-Titled #2″ goes into the thinking behind the first track on the album, "Pretty Hurts," as well as the song's accompanying music video. Beyonce gives a pretty clear explanation for what all those trophies represent — her many, many achievements and accolades — especially in the context of a song about picking on flaws, being someone you're not, and being judged based on how perfect you are. Fame, "beauty," fitting in … it all comes at a cost. Bey explains that this album is about embracing those imperfections. Keep reading »
