Dr. Richard A. Bartsch
Title: Paul Whitfield Horn Professor, Emeritus
Education: Ph.D., Brown University, 1967
Research Area: Organic, Analytical, & Polymer Chemistry
Principal Research Interests
- Design and Synthesis of Novel Organic Molecules for Ionic and Molecular Recognition
- Separation Science
- Metal Ion Complexation and Separation by Multidentate Ligands
- Preparation and Applications of Ionic Liquids
The central theme of Professor Bartsch's research program is ionic and molecular recognition. Novel organic molecules for the complexation and separation of targeted ionic species (particularly metal ions) and molecules are designed and synthesized. Different types of metal ion complexants include acyclic (podand), cyclic (crown ether, calixarene), and bicyclic (calix-crown, cryptand) ligands. Using the concept of 'charge matching', a number of acidic functions equal to the charge of the metal ion is attached to the ligand. The presence of such ion-exchange sites markedly enhances the efficiency of metal ion complexation in separation systems and the ability to subsequently release the complexed metal ion from the ligand. In addition to customary proton-ionizable groups of carboxylic, phosphonic, and sulfonic acid functions, we use a new acidic group [-C(O)NHSO2X], in which the acidity can be 'tuned' by varying the electron-withdrawing ability of X.
Currently attention is focused upon the use of calix[4]arene as a scaffold for attachment of pendant acidic groups through the phenolic oxygens. For calix[4]arene, the limiting conformations of cone, partial cone, 1,3-alternate, and 1,2-alternate are shown below as structures (1-4), respectively.
With appropriate substitutions on the four phenolic oxygens, the conformation can be mobile or locked. For example, ligand (5) is conformationally mobile and ligand (6) in which the two methyl groups in (5) have been replaced in the butyl groups is locked in the cone conformation. Ligand (7) is conformationally locked in the 1,3-alternate conformation with the two acidic groups on the opposite side of calix[4]arene framework.
Evaluation of these ligands by solvent extraction of metal ions from aqueous solutions into chloroform reveals that the both the extraction efficiency and selectivity are influenced by the conformations of similarly substituted ligands.
Connection of two phenolic oxygens of the calix[4]arene scaffold with a polyether chain gives calixarene-crown ether ligands, also called calixcrowns. Attachment of two distal oxygens results in a calix[4]arene-1,3-crown ether ligand (8); whereas linking two proximal oxygens provides a calix[4]arene-1,2-crown ether analogue (9). (Both structures are shown with the calix[4]arene unit in the cone conformation.)
Attachment of two ionizable groups to the phenolic oxygens gives di-ionizable calix[4]arene-crown ethers in which the spatial relationship of the acidic side arms to the crown ether cavity is controlled by the conformation of the calix[4]arene unit. The influence of such systematic structural variations upon the metal ion complexing ability of the ligands is being probed by solvent extraction.
In a collaborative research effort with Professor Edward Quitevis of this department, fundamental features of ionic liquids are being examined. Ionic liquids are organic salts that are liquids at room temperature. These novel media are highly polar with unique solvating abilities that can be 'tuned' by structural variations within the cationic and/or anionic components. Ionic liquids such as those shown below are prepared by a Bartsch coworker for study by the Quitevis Research Group.

Here's your chance to experience the pre-revolution decadence of Havana – back in the days when scofflaws like Bugsy, Lucky, Al and Meyer ruled the roost there. Fittingly, it's all going to happen on Aug. 7 at the Las Vegas Mob Museum's "Hot Havana Nights."
On tap for festivities celebrating Havana's bad old days will be Cuban-flavored gambing; tango and conga dancing; the blazing sounds of Latin jazz; tropical drinks and cuisine; a cigar bar; and artifacts from infamous Havana hotels and casinos such as the Nacional, Tropicana, Sans Souci, Casino de Capri and Hotel Habana Riviera.
The event will be presented by the museum – known as the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement -- in collaboration with the Cuban Heritage Foundation and the Las Vegas Latin Chamber of Commerce. Officials say: "The evening is inspired by the decadent Havana resorts of the first half of the twentieth century, which attracted everyone from celebrities and scions of industry to middle-class vacationers. Visitors were drawn to Havana by its permissive, sun-soaked, indulgent atmosphere -- comparable to the one eventually associated with Las Vegas.
"By the 1940s, all Havana's major resorts and casinos were run by U.S. mob families from Chicago and New York, representing another dynamic replicated a few years later in Las Vegas."
Tickets for the event, set for 6 p.m.-10 p.m. on Aug. 7, are $40. Reservations can be made online or by calling 1-(702) 229-2734.
Opened in 2012, the Mob Museum describes itself as "a world-class destination in downtown Las Vegas dedicated to the thrilling story of organized crime and law enforcement. It presents an exciting and authentic view of the Mob's impact on Las Vegas history and its unique imprint on the world. True stories of Mob history are brought to life in a bold and contemporary style via engaging exhibits, high-tech theater presentations and more than 600 artifacts, the largest collection of Mob and related law enforcement memorabilia under one roof."

In what could potentially become Fight of the Year, "Naptime" Nic Herron-Webb makes his first title defense this Wednesday night at the Alaska Fighting Championship's 76th event: Ghost Buster.
Great backdrops arrive only once in a while. This one showcases two elite fighters with one of Anchorage Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu's most outspoken and successful representatives facing one of Alaska's most prominent young champions.
Barely a week after Nic won the welterweight belt against David Knight at AFC 74, Josh issued a public challenge for a shot at the title. "I want to fight Nic Herron-Webb in October for the 170 pound belt," he said. "How many people want to see me smash this little punk into next week? I guarantee I will knock him out no later than the third round." Within a few days the match was booked.
Nic says, "I knew I was going to want to fight again after I won the belt. I'm actually glad that Josh stepped up because I had just beaten the last three champs in a row and I didn't know who I'd be able to fight."
In his usual candid form, Josh ignited the feud by insulting his opponent's gym, Greatland MMA. "Obviously anyone can start a gym but it doesn't make them good or legit. Who's their main coach and what are his accomplishments? Exactly. Do I hear crickets in the background? They don't have one that's why I call them wannabes. You need to let your fighting and records prove how great you are. Nobody cares about how good you say you are when you're not producing."
Nic's response: "Josh's best aspect is not in his fighting it's in his ability to run his mouth. Our gym's young but we already have 5 belts in different fight organizations around the state. If you go back and look at Greatland's fight records and ABJJ's, our numbers are a lot better."
At AFC 75, during a promo in the cage, fighters met face to face and Josh gave his take on what went down. "The outcome was me embarrassing Nic in front of his mom and girlfriend. I still see Nic as a young naive kid who should take at least 3 years off and train at a legit gym before stepping back into the cage. Then maybe I would respect him."
He continued, "I want their whole gym to know how I feel. Go back to the Alaska Club where all of you work and stand around telling each other how great all of you are. Ask Nic why he could not make it through one of our classes at ABJJ? You don't need to ask him, I'll answer it for him. It's because he couldn't hang with us. He left right after warm ups."
"I did attend one of the classes at ABJJ," Nic says, "and I don't think I remember Josh being there. Maybe he should worry about his own training instead of mine. The reason I left early was because my training at Greatland was going to start so, yes, thank you Josh for letting me get a good warm-up before I really started training."
Nic also addressed Josh's accusation that his armbar victory against David Knight was a fluke. "Just because you don't know how something works you don't make fun of it. That's a childish response from a man who's scared of what he doesn't understand."
As for the match, Josh predicts the outcome in his favor. "I see my style dominating every facet of his game. All he has is a punchers chance and he better pray to whatever God he prays to that it happens. If it doesn't then his night will end with him on his back and me standing over him smiling. He won't stand and bang. He'll clinch and try to take me down. If that happens he'll go night-night with a submission."
And how does Nic see his match playing out? "Josh...wake up...."

About 3 months ago we announced the Master-Jam Fest, an International Festival-Contest of Jazz Improvisation. This unique competition involves jazz musicians from every corner of the world who are ready to show their best in delivering the magical tradition of jazz all the way to reach the grand final at the beautiful city of Odessa, Ukraine. (Read our first announcement here: http://jazzuality.com/jazz-events/master-jam-fest-online-preselection/).
The historical, cultural and tourist center city near the Black Sea, Odessa actually has its own jazz party, popularly known as Odessa Jazz Carnival. But this time, the author and producer of it Mikhail Freidlin brought something contrast while still deeply rooted in the same spirit.
The first pre-selection was held online and quickly gained huge response by jazz musicians/vocalists from around the globe. No less than 223 improvisers from 34 countries have participated in the first online preselection, that includes young but experienced musicians as well. They were divided into 9 categories: Horizontal Piano and Other Keyboard Instruments, Contrabass (Electric Bass, Bass Guitar), Percussion Instruments, Saxophone (all types) and Clarinet, Trumpet (Flugelhorn), Trombone, Guitar, Vocals and the rest like Violin, French Horn, Flute, Ethnic Instruments etc are listed in the last category.
For the first round, the musicians only needed to send their video-presentations which has already closed on December 31st, 2012. Now comes the second round with a great news for Indonesia! Among the selected second rounders, the Jury have picked 7 Indonesian jazz musicians/vocals to go further in the next qualifying round! They are:
Nesia Ardi (in Vocals category)
Robert Mulyarahardja and Achmad Ananda (in Guitar category)
Chaka Priambudi and Kevin Yosua (in Contrabass; Electric Bass and Bass Guitar category)
Sandy Winarta (in Percussion Instruments category)
Widiyanto Sulaeman Sutanto (in Horizontal Piano and Other Keyboard Instruments category)
Proud to say that Indonesia sends the most number of second round finalists among other South East Asian nations. (Check the complete statistics here: http://master-jam.com/en/statistics/).
For the second phase, the board of judges which consist of jazz experts, honored pedagogues, famous jazz musicians, well-known producers, music journalists, popular TV hosts and prominent politicians will vote for the nominees to select the finalists. The jury will vote from January 15 to February 15, 2013. During this period the jury will evaluate video presentations of the participants and and determine for whom the 'capital city of Ukraine', Odessa will open its door to the final round on April 25-30, 2013. This grand final will also mark the International Day of UNESCO's jazz.
|The Festival will pay the travel to Odessa, including the accomodation there during this last round for all the participants who survive from the second cut and make it into the final.
The question is, is there anything we can do to support our own talents? Actually there is. There's The Internet-Viewers Voting for "People's Choice Prize" that will allow you to decide the winner! This voting will be held also from January 15 to February 15, 2013 at the Master Jam Fest's official website: http://master-jam.com/en. You can follow ratings of the contestants and in social networks of the Festival (http://www.facebook.com/en/groups/masterjamfest/), you can also listen, assess or even give comments while taking part along with the contestants, board of judges and the team of Master Jam! One important thing: other than the scores from the Jury, rating score from the jazz community via Internet is also counted!
Participants of the festival-contest who won maximum quantity of nominations will become laureates of the whole festival (Grandmasters of jazz). They will be awarded with cash prizes and will be presented with an opportunity to record a label at one of the best recording studios of the world along with a worldwide tour.
|For the more information about the contest and the Final round of the Festival, see Terms, conditions and the order of Festival here in this following link: http://master-jam.com/en/concurs/.
The media coverage will be provided through the website (section video-presentations of the participants of the festival-contest) and specialized musical media. This event is supported by biggest jazz associations and world Media.
Let's wish our own jazz improvisers the best, and don't forget to vote for them! Now you can participate in the Indonesia jazz movement, where any vote you make will be very important. Let's make 2013 our year, internationallly speaking. May this festival open up the chance for us to speak the jazz language louder in the global world.
|Note: There's still chance for Indonesian Jazz Artists to join the competition. Submit your video now to email@example.com and read this page http://master-jam.com/en/concurs/. Do it right away before it's too late!

Lexington has tough opener
Published: Thursday, August 21, 2014 at 11:18 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 21, 2014 at 11:18 p.m.
Lexington has had plenty of opportunities to scout Monroe, the team the Yellow Jackets open up with Friday night, to draw some conclusions.
Coach Chuck Henderson and his staff have seen the Redhawks play live scrimmages. They have pored over the game. Of course, they also remember playing Monroe last year.
"They're a good-looking football team," Henderson said. "I think they're even better than they were last year."
And Monroe made it all the way to the 2-A state championship game last year.
Monroe coach Johnny Sowell chuckled when told what Henderson said about his team.
"Well, it's kind of hard to tell right now," Sowell said. "We've had a couple of scrimmages where we haven't done bad. But it's too early to say that."
Friday's game is being played at Monroe with a 7:30 p.m. kickoff.
In other opening night games involving Davidson County schools, North Davidson visits Thomasville, Ledford is at West Davidson, Central Davidson hosts West Stokes and South Davidson goes to East Davidson.
Lexington is coming off a 1-10 season, Henderson's first at the school, which included a 41-7 opening night loss to Monroe. With another offseason to implement Henderson's system, the Yellow Jackets expect to be better. Led by quarterback Nick Shuping and receivers like Devin Cross and Daniel Reid-Bennett, the Jackets have he tools to make things happen on offense.
"They're a much better team," Sowell said. "I can say that. From what we've seen on tape, they're sound, their kids get in the right spots. They play hard."
That's something Henderson, a veteran coach who had winning teams at Ledford and Asheboro, is counting on.
The Jackets have to contend with a Monroe team that likes to run the football. And the Redhawks do that well. Senior tailback Chase Byrum ran for 1,058 yards last year and the Redhawks have a sophomore quarterback, Zephania Wall, who can keep defenses honest. The Redhawks have tremendous size on the line with three players weighing over 300 pounds but at least one will be out due to injury.
"We need to get them out of their comfort zone," Henderson said. "The best case scenario is if we can get them away from their power running and make them throw the ball."
Henderson said his team is healthy heading into Friday's game.
West Stokes at Central Davidson
West Stokes won last year's game 17-14 in King. The Spartans, 4-7 a year ago, are led by linebacker Jerod Walls. West Stokes was 9-4 last year and lost 34-15 to Monroe in the second round of the 2-A state playoffs.
Ledford at West Davidson
Ledford features tailback Dalton Harris, who rushed for 1,685 yards and 18 touchdowns last season. The Panthers were 8-4 and lost in the first round of the 3-A state playoffs. West Davidson was 4-7.
South Davidson at East Davidson
The Wildcats were 0-11 last season. East Davidson won its first seven games before finishing 9-3, which included a 36-13 loss to West Stokes in the first round of the 2-A state playoffs.

BWW Reviews: Sizzlin' Summer Nights Cabaret Series Showcases Some of Signature's Best, Including Driscoll, Olivera, and Smith
As a bit of a musical theatre geek, admittedly one of the things I look forward to the most each summer in DC is the Sizzlin' Summer Nights Cabaret series at our very own Tony Award-winning Signature Theatre. So amidst all of the clamoring for press coverage of the concurrent Capital Fringe festival, I set out to ensure I catch at least as a few of this year's diverse music offerings. The offerings presented this past Friday night shined the spotlight on three performers we very know well from their years on the Signature stage. Erin Driscoll - just off of strong performances in Signature's Cloak and Dagger and The Threepenny Opera, as well as Violet at Ford's Theatre - took the stage with a solo cabaret act featuring memorable pop and musical theatre songs from her 1980s childhood. Later that evening, Tracy Lynn Olivera (most recently in Signature's productions of Gypsy and Crossing) and Bobby Smith (most recently in Signature's The Threepenny Opera) took the stage to, well, sing what they wanted to and clearly have a lot of fun doing it.
Donning 80s-style clothing, Driscoll delighted the crowd with songs that kindled her unabashed love for musical theatre when she was growing up. From "Maybe" (Annie) and "Part of Your World" (The Little Mermaid) to Andrew Lloyd Webber songs that not every little kid might love like "Macavity: The Mystery Cat" (Cats) and "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" (The Phantom of the Opera), it was also a bit of a revisit to my own childhood. Her vocal strengths were best displayed on "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again," which showcased her lovely soprano range, beautiful vocal tone, and vocal control. Yet, the interesting inclusion of "Macavity: The Mystery Cat" - Erin explained that song resonated with her more than the ubiquitous "Memory" - was notable for just letting loose and having fun with a song and dance kind of musical theatre number.
An exploration of pop/film music from her childhood era - Springsteen's "I'm on Fire" and "What a Feeling" (from the cult favorite movie, Flashdance) as well as several others - gave way to some stories about the interesting (and sometimes inappropriate music she connected with as a child and several fun vocal numbers that allowed her to share other dimensions of her versatile voice.
Her vocal highlights of the night, however, came in the form of Driscoll's renditions of two Sondheim favorites - "On the Steps of the Palace" (Into the Woods) and "Not a Day Goes By" (Merrily We Roll Along). Quipping to the audience that "if you didn't like Sondheim what were you doing at Signature," these performances were memorable for not only her very pleasing vocals, but solid lyrical interpretation - a must for any successful renditions of Sondheim's creations. One must also give credit for taking on a monster of the American music theatre canon. Maltby and Shire's "The Story Goes On" (from Baby) is one of those songs that many musical theatre obsessed girls of a certain age grew up wanting to sing. I mean, who can resist Liz Callaway's interpretation of that song? Driscoll's take on the song - while not complete perfection - was one of the stronger attempts I've heard and I give her many kudos for attempting it. It was clear the song meant a lot to her and she did do it justice.

Since arriving in Italy we have had a plethora of experiences. Obviously, the sights are absolutely beautiful. So far, one of my favorite mornings was waking up before the city of Rome awakes. JD, Pam and I toured and got lost by running and exploring. It is so great to see how the European lifestyle is different than life in the U.S. and Los Angeles. It is very obvious that the Europeans love to eat, but they take their time and they enjoy the company and savor every bite. There is no Starbucks in Italy, and I must admit, I do not necessarily miss it; Italian coffee is supreme! There is so much history in this country, and I admire their pride in the rich tradition, architecture and sculptures.
So far the time here has been enriching. The staff is having a blast getting to know one another, the culture is priceless to learn about, the players are soaking up Art and World History in 3D, and we are getting some basketball in as well. The gelato is excellent, and the variety of flavors gives us all a chance to find something we love. Our tour guides bring culture and comedy and make sure we are always in tune to what is in our midst. Rob has traveled with us thus far, and he is an Englishman living in Greece who speaks Italian ... quite an impressive language and knowledge base!!
Today in Florence we had a quick trip, but we were able to see the replica of the statue of David, shop our little hearts out, eat more great Italian food and bargain with the locals. The leather is wonderful, so I decided to take advantage and purchase some leather shoes. Our team was in heaven; Florence was mixed with great culture and shopping until our hearts were content.
Now we are off to Venice and another adventure and memory-filled day!
Buona Notte!

This is one of my favorite examiner.com stories and originally ran Dec. 25, 2011. A postscript has been added to the original version.
Virtually all bowlers dream of rolling a 300. It's called a perfect game and it consists of 12 strikes, three of which take place in the 10th frame.
But what do you call 12 straight strikes over two games?
If you're a 200-plus average bowler with a knowledge of history, perhaps you know the answer.
What it's called is the "Andy Varipapa 300" named after the eminently successful professional bowler known for his trick-shot expertise. For the record, this is not a perfect game, but at least if a bowler accomplishes the feat, he or she gets a measure of recognition.
As for Varipapa who died 29 years ago at age 93, he was a supremely confident bowler who performed many exhibitions during which he dazzled spectators with his exotic shots. It was during these exhibitions that the "Andy Varipapa 300" was coined after he threw 12 straight strikes spanning two games.
During these exhibitions, Varipapa would convert the 7-10 split by rolling two balls at the same time – one from each hand. He also wowed crowds with his famed "boomerang" ball in which he would roll the ball slowly down the lane. Then he would instruct the ball to return to him – which it did, backing up to the foul line because of the back spin he put on the ball.
Varipapa was considered "the greatest one-man bowling show on earth," but he distinguished himself as more than just a trickster. He finished his career with more perfect games than anyone – 68.
Varipapa also became the first person to win the All-Star tournaments (the predecessor to the U.S. Open) two years in a row (1946 and 1947).
This was a person who was called the "Clown Prince of Bowling," but he considered himself much more.
After he won the 1946 All-Star competition, he said: "It's about time that the world's greatest bowler was also the world champion."
Postscript: One person who is still looking for a perfect game but has rolled an "Andy Varipapa 300" is Mike Hahn of Reseda. On Feb. 8, 2011 at AMF Woodlake Lanes in Woodland Hills, Hahn crushed a 290 in his first game, finishing with 11 strikes after posting a spare in the first frame.
Then in his second game, Hahn added three strikes on his first three shots en route a 190. That gave Hahn 14 strikes in a row over two games, or an "Andy Veripapa 300."
Talking about that night, Hahn says now: "In my mind, I got a 300 – it was just in the wrong order. It was close."
At the time, Hahn said he wasn't aware that he achieved an "Andy Veripapa 300." Now that he recognizes his feat, Hahn says: "That'll make me sleep much better."

Head coach Doug Wright signed five student-athletes to NLIs.
Nov. 18, 2011
DALLAS (SMU) - SMU rowing announced the signing of Loni Albrecht, Phoebe Cady, Madison Davidson, Nikole Metz and Miranda Zsigmond to National Letters of Intent for the 2012-13 season.
"I am very pleased with the five athletes we have signed for next fall," SMU head coach Doug Wright said. "All of them are very talented, have great character and a strong work ethic. They are a great group that we expect to have an immediate impact on our team speed next fall."
Albrecht, from Oliver Springs, Tenn., is the captain of her team at Oak Ridge Rowing Association and has built an impressive resume in her five years of rowing, most notably participating in the U.S. Junior B Development Camp.
"She is a true competitor both on and off the water, and I expect her to bring that same mindset and discipline to our program next fall," Wright said.
Cady, from Marion, Mass., competes for Tabor Academy as a multi-sport athlete, playing soccer in the fall, while focusing exclusively on rowing during the winter and spring.
"Phoebe is passionate about rowing and will be a great competitor for us," Wright noted.
Davidson, a native of Tulsa, Okla., will be the third rower that Wright has signed from the Tulsa Rowing Club in as many years. With her training as a cross country runner, she will be well prepared for the endurance component of becoming a great rower.
"She has a championship mindset and a spirited work ethic that is unparalleled," Wright added. "Maddie has done a great job on improving her skill set as a rower which she will continue to develop this year as a senior."
Metz, from Fayetteville, N.Y., is a coxswain for Fayetteville-Manlius High School. She has a wealth of racing experience and success, most notably leading her Junior Girls 4+ team to a gold medal at the 2011 Scholastic Rowing Association of America's National Regatta, becoming the first team in her school's history to do so.
"Her voice command and ability to motivate a crew will be a great asset to us as we move forward," Wright said of Metz. "I am really looking forward to Nikole directing our crews on the water starting next fall."
Zsigmond, a native of Los Alamitos, Calif., competes for Long Beach Rowing Club.
"Miranda has all the tools to become a top rower in our program very quickly," Wright said. "She is competitive by nature and loves to race. She brings a lot of skill and ability to the table and we look forward to her immediate contributions."

Once inside, Pilot Pam Melroy and Mission Specialist Jeff Wisoff will gather samples from various surfaces in the Zarya module to characterize the onboard environment and identify any microbial growth. They also will inspect and wipe down some surfaces and stowage bags with a fungicide to inhibit microbial growth. Melroy and Wisoff also team up to complete final connections and outfitting of the Z1 pressure dome that links cables between the externally mounted truss structure and the Unity module.
Mission Specialists Bill McArthur and Leroy Chiao will work together to check out the control moment gyros - the attitude control system integrated into the Z1 Truss - connecting a laptop computer to a local power bus and commanding on operational heaters to provide additional warmth for the CMGs prior to their activation following the arrival of the Destiny laboratory module early next year.
NASDA Astronaut Koichi Wakata once again will power up Discovery's robot arm, this time to conduct a photographic survey of the International Space Station.
All seven crew members will participate in transferring equipment between Discovery and the Unity and Zarya modules of the station. The bulk of the material to be transferred to the station includes computer equipment, hardware and IMAX camera equipment that will be used to document life on the station. In return, Discovery will carry a variety of material back to Earth, including a protein crystal growth experiment that has been on board the station since it was installed by the STS-106 crew in early September, becoming the first microgravity science experiment to be conducted on board the space station.
Late in the day, Commander Brian Duffy will begin the process of closing hatches between the Zarya and Unity modules as the seven-member crew leaves the space station. The final hatch closure between Discovery and the International Space Station should occur just before 4:30 p.m. CDT today. Discovery is scheduled to undock from the station Friday morning at 8:40 a.m. CDT.
Duffy, Melroy, Chiao and McArthur will take a break from their activities this morning to discuss their mission with Space.com, ABC Radio Network and KNX Radio, Los Angeles in a series of interviews beginning at 11:57 a.m. CDT.

Let me say first off I am not a Durham NC native, I was raised in San Diego in an all white middle class area close to the beach. I was raised Catholic whereas discipline was more important then the education. It was a tough upbringing but it kept me on my toes. I moved to Durham because I was in the Marines back in the 80s and figured it would be a good place to raise my son. After I was diagnosed with AIDS I found myself living in the heart of Durham which to me seems like its about 70 percent if not more African American. Lots of school kids who wear pants down below their waist and a general disregard for respect for elders. They are also very clicky and obviously not too well off considering the project like environment of the buildings which look more like commercial buildings set up as apartments. The apartments get broken into often and its not a very safe area. A mile away are nice homes and obviously occupied by the retired or well to do. It really makes me wonder how people exist in this environment. I remember living in a shack at the beach with my gf and never experiencing the stress of this type of living and dont think I would if it werent for the fact I got so sick and had to retire early as an electrician. I get enough to survive on but its a far cry from when I made mad money as an electrician.
So here I am in Durham NC and I see and hear the despair and think, "It wouldnt be suprising if many of these folks may have HIV and not even know it. The general attitude seems to be not technical or knowlegeable but connected. If your down, Im down so lets hang out. I never will understand the attitude of complacency in healthy adults. When I was healthy I worked like a dog, installing electrical stuff or working as a mail handler for the Marines. At 48 Ive travelled the world, lived in 3 different states, worked since I was 15 and on my own since 17 when my father commited suicide. It is beyond me how we as a nation have let our offspring become so soft and uninspired. I remember digging in trashcans as a kid for cans so I could turn them in for money, this may seem like a lousy way to live but it helped me build character and experience new things. Playing Wii or Playstation is not a new experience, it is mind numbing and serves no educational purpose which is why I think we are where we are and HIV rates continue to climb. Without hope or purpose there is no reason to have respect for ourselves or care what happens in the future. I feel its sad but its the way many of us think. Maybe someday we will get it and live a life with meaning and purpose versus a life of consumption.

I had fun making this all by my lonesome. All of the voices are mine and I don't claim that they are amazing. Tips and pointers would be appreciated and this is the pilot, so everything's not perfect. I could have worked until it was, but I got lazy. I did beta test most of it with outside viewers. I am also one female doing a cast of nearly all males, as if thats any excuse, right? Anyway, please enjoy, comment, and if so inclined, rate.

sick, and sick and tired of excuses! lol
Monday, December 03, 2012
I've been sick for an entire week now, and it sucks since I haven't really been able to get a break and it isn't pretty trying to teach when you have a runny nose and a high fever. I don't know what i would rather have a runny nose or a stuffy nose, since now that my nose is all stuffed up I have a huge headache that has lasted for the last three days, ear ache, soar throat and body aches. I know I need to go to the doctor and pronto but I can't even get myself to do that either.
Even though I've been sick that is not what has me as blue as this page, well maybe a little lol. I have lost the motivation for anything. I am so tired lately that all i want to do is throw myself in bed and not get up for weeks if possible. I am thinking of asking for a week off from work, but I don't know how that will work out with my boss especially being the holiday season and we are already understaffed. Also, I haven't done much in the work out division. The time change really sucks! I get off from work at 5:30-6 by that time its almost pitch black outside and it makes me feel depressed that i can't go to my walks, and since I moved I had to sell my treadmill being that i live upstairs and the machine makes too much noise.
I do walk around the mall near my job but that isn't going as well, it doesnt make me feel like i've accomplished much.
Writing this makes me realize all the excuses I have come up with! LOL just need to get myself together, dust me off and start doing something. I am going to take my tv to get repaired and I will start my work out regime again, I can do WATP and some strength training right? Hopefully spring comes along fast and the days get brighter so that i can resume my daily walks outside.
Eating department has been a disaster! I have used the "I'm sick" excuse way too much and have taken advantage of the holidays to eat extra sugar, but thats stopping today! Thankfully, and I am thankfull for this, I ave not gained a pound with all that junk food I have fed myself.
So, my goals this month are:
1. get healthy (go to doctor and run all kinds of tests) I need to know where I stand in cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes etc.)
2. Eat more fruits and veggies. I do eat them but not as much as I should.
3. log in water intake. Miraculously this is a habit that i was able to stick with.
4. Do 30 mins a day of excercise, will use my computer for work out videos will i get the tv fixed.
5. do 3 days of strength training.
I will log and chart everything this month, if I reach my goal which does not include lbs lost only accomplishing this goals, I will buy me new walking tennis shoes, and new work out clothes. I am happy to say that I have worn out the shoes I bought last year ( they created horrible blisters the last time I wore them) and the clothes is very loose and torn now, excessive wear i think lol.
So no more excuses, this is my month, i was born this month and I can be reborn if i want to, make a new me!

You poor girl. It's horrible being sick, isn't it?
My DD3 has had a sore throat for the past week and not improving. I took her in to the doctor and he did a throat swab and didn't prescribe antibiotics. Crazy.
Get well. It's a great idea you're going to get tested for other things as well, since you're there.
Must be nice to be able to get out there buy some new shoes. I hate shopping for shoes. Why? I wear size 10.5 ladies wide. Try and find that!
Hope you feel better soon.

Underrated '86 - Sarah Jane

That there cover looks pretty goddamn metal.
As a sidenote, I don't know if you're at all into metal, Will, but Nate from Skeletonwitch bears a noticeable resemblance to Karl Edward Wagner. Just noticed that today.
I definitely like its subtlety.
Don't really follow contemporary metal but Googled the band and yes, dude does! Ha.
Demonic tales by SF authors? My curiosity is definitely piqued. Great cover as well.

Junior Emily Eng
Feb. 9, 2014
Day One Results l Live Scoring
ORLANDO, Fla. -East Carolina junior Emily Eng carded a 1-over par 73 during opening round action at the UCF Challenge and is currently tied for 26th. The three-day, 54-hole event is being held at the par-72, 6,349-yard Eagle Creek Golf Club in Orlando, Fla.
Eng (36-37), who started on the 10th hole, made birdies on the par-3 second and par-5 13th hole, but gave three strokes back with bogeys on the third, eighth and 12th holes. Eng is currently six shots behind tournament leader Fanny Cnops (UCF), who fired an opening round 67 (5-under).
Cnops (33-34) holds a one-shot lead over GRU Augusta's Casey Kennesy (34-34) and ETSU's Gabriella Wahl (34-34). South Florida's Anna Hancock (31-38) sits in fourth, while a quartet of players are tied for fifth with a 2-under par 70.
The ECU sophomore duo of Frida Gustafsson Spang (40-35) and Nicoline Engstroem Skaug (38-37) are tied for 49th after rounds of 75 (3-over). Spang birded four holes, three coming on a stretch from the 13th-17th holes, but bogeys at No. 15 and No. 1, along with double-bogeys at No. 6 and No. 8 dropped her to the middle of the pack.
Skaug recorded just one birdie on the afternoon coming at the par-3 No. 11, but dropped four strokes in her last 10 holes closing the day at 3-over. Rounding out the Pirates roster were senior Fanny Wolte (39-39) and junior Katie Kirk (37-41) who both posted scores of 78 (6-over).
Tournament host and 24th-ranked UCF holds a five-shot lead over second place (No. 33) Miami (287) after their opening round score of 282 (6-under). ETSU sits in third with an even round of 288, while 49th-ranked GRU Augusta and South Florida round out the top five following scores of 290 (2-over).
Second round action is scheduled to begin with a shotgun start Monday morning at 9 a.m. with the East Carolina teeing off from holes 14-16. Pirate fans can follow all the action live at www.GolfStat.com.

When you are planning a trip to Disney World it can get really expensive. Families want to save money if possible and now there is a great way to do this in 2014. On Friday, Doctor Disney shared about this new offer that is out for families planning a trip now. Keep reading to find out how to take advantage of this great offer.
If you are card holder of a Disney Visa card, you can take advantage of this offer right now, but the general public has to wait a bit longer to take advantage of the deal. It will be available to them on May 7. Families that are planning a Disney trip should consider getting this credit card anyway because it helps you by earning points to save money on your trip. If you don't go to Disney, you can use them at the Disney store so they don't go to waste.
A few certain rooms are excluded from this deal. The best way to take advantage of this offer is to contact Disney on the phone directly and explain what you are wanting to do. This way they can help you make sure you get it done right and get a room where the deal is available. Dining at Disney can be really expensive and so this is a great way to save cash. It is only available for certain dates also and they are all in 2014 so if you aren't going until next year you can't take advantage of this deal.
Doctor Disney also shared another huge thing about this deal. If you have already booked your trip, you can add the Disney free dining to your package. You have to do this over the phone so make sure that you call them and they can help you out with it. Be prepared to be on hold though because everyone is going to be calling.
You can check out the great packages available on Disney's website. Once you do that, you will want to check out the various rooms and offers to get an idea of what you want to book before you call. This is a great way to vacation and save cash to take advantage of the 2014 free dining at Disney.

Los Angelino band Vibes is the culmination of dance music aficionados Death House of Love, G Templeton and Alex Slavin. With an EP ready-made with feel-good rhythms, it seemed not only natural, but inevitable, that the group release their follow-up EP on the self-proclaimed "feel good" label VibeWithIt Records.
VibeWithIt Records, formerly WallflowerFood, have re-energized their mission but will continue to showcase more hand selected tunes and enlighten the masses as to the merits of 'groove'. The sleek new move comes with the website's re-launch, new mobile app, launch party and - of course - the release of Vibes' tropically inclined EP Fast Train.
The title single is a house anthem in it's own right and features catchy vocal hooks bleeding with the bittersweet pain of love and loss. Assertive piano stabs and lilting chord progressions elevate the lyrics to make this track the perfect marriage of nu-disco and house signatures.
The EP is available to stream on VibeWithIt's website and will be made available for purchase on iTunes April 4. Also included on the EP are the equally dance-able remixes by Maniacs, Colour Vision and Parakord.

|"Curriculum Revolution in Nanoscale Science and Engineering: Overview of a New Interdisciplinary Program in Berkeley" -- Eicke Weber:
Nanoscale Science and Engineering is a rapidly expanding research field that will have decisive impact into many fundamental aspects of future technologies. It has been defined as one of the key areas of faculty growth at UC Berkeley. This development has been augmented by a new faculty initiative to form an interdisciplinary Graduate Group that developed a special curriculum for graduate students in this field. Students can now select this field as a 'Designated Emphasis' in their research and course of study. Out of this group of faculty a successful proposal was submitted to NSF for a $3.5M grant to establish a five-year graduate student training grant. This five-year grant will allow to attract about 50 additional graduate students to Berkeley, who will be selected from the very best applicants in the nation. Details of these two initiatives and their impact on the Berkeley campus will be discussed.
Eicke Weber is Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, and faculty investigator in Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He chairs the Nanoscale Science and Engineering Graduate Group and is the director of the Integrated Materials Laboratory on campus. He received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Cologne, Germany in 1976 and joined the Berkeley faculty in 1983.
| "Top-Down Meets Bottom-Up Or There's Plenty Of Room In The Middle" -- Jeff Bokor
The past decade or so has seen rapid development of techniques and fundamental understanding of the synthesis, fabrication, and characterization of materials at the nano-scale. Progress in this area has been roughly equivalent in the disciplines of organic and inorganic chemistry, molecular and cell biology, and solid-state physics and device engineering. Great excitement in the field of nanoscience and engineering is now generated by the convergence of these disciplines, with the prospect of integrated nanosystems built upon various combinations of associated technologies. This talk will touch upon a few recent examples, and highlight the role of The Molecular Foundry project at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in advancing this field.
Jeffrey Bokor is Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at University of California, Berkeley and Deputy Directory of The Molecular Foundry at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in 1980, then was at AT&T Bell Laboratories for 12 years before joining the Berkeley faculty in 1992.
|"Disruptive Optoelectronic Technologies Enabled by Nanostructured Materials" -- Connie Chang-Hasnain
The ever-improving degrees of control achieved in the past decades over the growth of semiconductors make them attractive for applications involving photons. Since photons interact strongly with electrons in materials, one approach to control the optical properties of materials is to manipulate electronic properties via quantum confinement effects. In this talk, I will discuss our plans towards developing reproducible quantum dots, nanowires and nanotubes. In particular, I will discuss some novel devices with revolutionary capabilities enabled by nanostructures, including all-optical buffers, ultra-low Vpi optical modulators and very high efficiency, high speed lasers. I will also discuss the impact of such devices to new optical systems with unprecedented performance.
Connie J. Chang-Hasnain is a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Berkeley. Her research interests are in semiconductor optoelectronic devices and materials, and their applications. She was a Member of Technical Staff at Bellcore from 1987 to 1992. From April 1992 to December 1995, she was Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. Since January 1996, she is Professor of Electrical Engineering at UC Berkeley. Connie founded Bandwidth9 Inc. and served as Chairman, CEO and President of the Company, while on leave from UC Berkeley from July 1998 to July 2000.
|"Physics of Semiconductor Nanocrystals"-- Peter Yu
The size of semiconductor devices has already approached nm length scale. Many of the concepts concerning crystals taught in universities are valid only for infinite crystals. Size reduction also implied that many atoms will lie on the surface of the crystal and their properties may be different from those lying in the interior. New approaches have to be developed to understand the electronic and vibrational properties of nm size crystals in order that device properties can be predicted. The important effects of size reduction on both the electrons and the vibrational modes are shifts and quantization of their energies. The resultant modifications of the available states at a given energy have profound influence on the thermal, electrical and optical properties of the nm size crystals. They also suggest new opportunities to make better devices, such as lasers, transistors, memory cells and thermoelectric coolers.
Professor Peter Y. Yu received his PhD degree from Brown University. He was a IBM postdoctoral fellow and lecturer at the Physics Department of UC Berkeley before becoming a research staff member at the IBM Research Center at Yorktown Heights, New York between 1973-79. He has been a professor in the Department of Physics of UC Berkeley and a faculty-staff member of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory since 1979. He was Honorary Visiting Professors at the Universite de Joseph Fourier, Grenoble, France (1995) and at Peking University, Beijing, China (2002-2004). He has been a Fellow of the American Physical Society since 1985 and a John S. Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellow bewteen 1994-95.
His research interest has been in semiconductor physics, laser spectroscopy, high pressure physics. Recently he has been studying the electronic, optical and vibrational properties of nanostructured semiconductor materials. In addition to publishing over 200 technical papers, he is the co-author (with Manual Cardona) of the graduate level textbook: Fundamentals of Semiconductors: Physics and Material Properties (Springer-Verlag, Berlin,1996, 1999,2001) which has been translated into Japanese, Chinese and Russian.
|Peidong Yang, "Chemistry and Physics of Semiconductor Nanowires"
One-dimensional nanostructures are of both fundamental and technological interest. They not only exhibit interesting electronic and optical properties intrinsically associated with their low dimensionality and the quantum confinement effect, but also represent the critical components in the potential nanoscale device applications. In this talk, the vapor-liquid-solid crystal growth mechanism will be briefly introduced for the general synthesis of nanowires of different compositions, sizes, and orientation. Unique properties including light emission, and thermoelectrics will be discussed. In addition to the recent extensive studies on single-component nanowires, of increasing importance is the capability of incorporating different interfaces, heterojunctions as well as controlling doping profiles within individual single crystalline nanowires. Epitaxial growth plays a significant role in making such nanowire heterostructures and their arrays. I will present our recent research efforts towards superlattice nanowires and other nanostructures with horizontal junctions. The implication of these hetero-junctioned nanowires in light emission and energy conversion (thermoelectrics and photovoltaics) will be discussed. Lastly, ways to assemble these one-dimensional nanostructures will be presented.
Peidong Yang received his B.S. in chemistry from University of Science and Technology of China in 1993 and a Ph.D. in chemistry (1997) from Harvard University in the laboratory of Professor Charles Lieber. He then did postdoctoral research in the area of mesoporous materials with professor Galen Stucky at University of California, Santa Barbara. He began his faculty appointment in the department of Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley in 1999. He is currently holding the Chevron Texaco Assistant Professorship in department of chemistry. He is the Chair of the subdivision of nanoscience, American Chemical Society. Current research interests include nanowire synthesis, higher-order nanostructure assembly, their optoelectronic properties and energy-conversion applications for which he has received young investigator awards from the National Science Foundation, The Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation. He is also the recipient of MIT Tech. Review TR 100 and Exxon Mobil Solid State Chemistry fellowship, 3M untenured faculty award, Hellman Award, Research Innovation Award.

Someone asked me to sew a tablet case.
I followed this wonderful technique explained here by one of my Romanian friends (the link is a google translation). It was so quick and easy!
I fused a heavyweight interfacing to the outside fabric and fusible fleece to the lining. I added a magnetic snap.
But I made a mistake and I had to start over and the whole thing is now too small. I have to make a new one.
But I don't mind - I think many would like to have it!!
I love this Ann Kelle fabric.

In order to use FlexGet you'll need to create a configuration file.
FlexGet uses Yaml markup in configuration file.
Common mistakes, read at least these!
- Indentation level. Always use (multiples of) 2 spaces and never use tab-key!
- Plugins are supposed to be indented at the same level (rss, series, download etc). Some plugins may allow other plugins inside of them.
- Missing colons. Pay special attention to these when looking at the examples and documentation
- If text value contains any of {}[]%: characters it must be quoted with ''
- If you want to pass a number as a text (ie. series 24), value must be quoted with ''
By default FlexGet tries to find config.yml from several places in this order:
- The current path
- The virtualenv path (only if you are running FlexGet installed in a virtualenv)
- ~/.flexget/ (C:\Users\YOURUSER\flexget\ on Windows 7, and C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSER\flexget\ on XP)
- ~/.config/flexget (only on linux)
The first path containing a config file will be used. Creating the ~/.flexget/ directory and placing your config.yml in there is currently considered the best practice. You can also use the -c cli flag to manually specify a config file name/location.
Step by Step Configuration Tutorial
The configuration is a hierarchy constructed of various components. The main component of any config are the tasks, so we will start there.
The line ends in a colon, which means we will be defining this section on the lines following. We then indent (2 spaces) everything that belongs to this section. The tasks sections is made up of all your individual tasks, which can be named whatever we want. Let's make one called test task.
tasks: test task:
This line defining the task name (test task) also ends with a colon, which means we will be defining what belongs in this task on the following lines with another indent (2 more spaces.) The contents of an individual task are always plugins. There are three main types of plugins we normally want in a task, an input (where do you want FlexGet to look for things?), a filter (which of those things do you want?) and an output (what do you want FlexGet to do with those things?). Let's start by adding an input plugin to our task, test task. In this case we will use the rss plugin as our input. The indentation of rss is increased and means that it belongs under the test task.
tasks: test task: rss:
We aren't finished yet, this line ends with a colon, which means we need to provide the next section, which would be the options for the rss plugin. When configuring any plugin, visit that plugin's wiki page to find out what format the options for that plugin should be in. The most simple configuration format for the rss plugin allows us to just define the url for the rss feed. If the plugin has more complicated configuration, follow the indentation shown in the plugin documentation. Note that if you simply copy & paste examples from documentation you must increase the indentation to correct level.
tasks: test task: rss: http://mysite.com/myfeed.rss
Our input plugin will create an entry for every item that comes into the rss feed, but we still need to tell FlexGet which of those items we want. We do this with a filter plugin. One of the most common is the series plugin, so we will configure that here. This plugin will belong to our test task so we remain at the same indentation level, 2 more spaces than test task.
tasks: test task: rss: http://mysite.com/myfeed.rss series:
Now we must consult the series wiki page to determine how to configure the series plugin. There are two formats the series plugin configuration can take, we will stick with the simple one in this tutorial. (eventually you may want to switch to the grouped format) In the simple format, the series plugin just takes a list of the series you want. Since our last line ended with a colon, we go to the next line with 2 more spaces. Each item in our list will be at this same indentation level, and start with '- ' so:
tasks: test task: rss: http://mysite.com/myfeed.rss series: - My Favorite Show
The series plugin also allows defining options per show, which we will do with our next show.
tasks: test task: rss: http://mysite.com/myfeed.rss series: - My Favorite Show - Another Good Show:
Since we are defining options for this show, we ended the line with a colon. This normally means we define the options on the next line with 2 more spaces. There is a slight exception when defining options for a list item, in that we have to go 2 more spaces than the actual word, for a total of 4 spaces. Here we will define the quality option of the series plugin to only allow 720p copies of this show to be downloaded.
tasks: test task: rss: http://mysite.com/myfeed.rss series: - My Favorite Show - Another Good Show: quality: 720p
Now that we have an input and a filter plugin, we need to tell FlexGet what we want to do with the entries that are accepted by our filter. We do this with an output plugin. One common output plugin is the download plugin, which we could use to save our items to a watch directory from a bittorrent or nzb client. (if you are using deluge or transmission you may want to consider using its dedicated output plugin instead)
tasks: test task: rss: http://mysite.com/myfeed.rss series: - My Favorite Show - Another Good Show: quality: 720p download:
The download plugin also has a very simple configuration option, in which we can just define the path where we would like it to save our content.
tasks: test task: rss: http://mysite.com/myfeed.rss series: - My Favorite Show - Another Good Show: quality: 720p download: /home/me/watchdir/
Congratulations, we now have a fully functioning config file. You can continue to add more tasks to your config file to complete different jobs, or customize this one further. Remember to consult the plugins wiki page to choose your plugins, and read the individual page for each plugin to figure out how to configure that specific plugin.
Now just sit back, and let FlexGet do the work for you!
Common misconceptions
- Plugin order doesn't matter, you can list them in any order you like. Most logical order would be inputs -> filters -> outputs.
- Task order doesn't matter, tasks are executed in seemingly random order. Use priority plugin priorize tasks when necessary.
- You cannot list plugins, ie. rss twice in a single task. This is limited by the chosen simpler syntax in the configuration file. Instead see template plugin.
Task Naming
Take special care when naming your tasks, as this could be very helpful later on. Say you want to use a schedule, or call several tasks in one call to do similar things. With a little thought to task naming and the use of wildcard calls, this can be very simple. This makes setting up schedules and batch task calls easy.
Take the following tasks list as an example:
tasks: Series-Primary: #find configured series in the given inputs.. Series-Premieres: #find series premieres from given inputs.. Update-Queue: #update movie queue... Movies-Queue: #check for movie queued items from given inputs.. Movies-All: #filtered movies based on settings given... Update-trakt-TV: #update trakt series list using trakt_acquired.. Update-trakt-Movies: #Update trakt movie list using trakt_acquired...
As you can see above, there are seven (7) tasks listed, but instead of calling each task individual, or all of them at once, you could make calls like this:
flexget execute --tasks Series-* flexget execute --tasks Update-Queue flexget execute --tasks Movies-* flexget execute --tasks Update-trakt-*
or setup a schedule:
schedules: - tasks: 'Update-Queue' interval: hours: 3 - tasks: 'Series-*' interval: minutes: 30 - tasks: 'Movies-*' interval: hours: 1 - tasks: 'Update-trakt-*' interval: days: 1 at_time: 4:43 am
Test execution
Executes all tasks, but doesn't write anything into disk.
flexget --test execute
Display more process details
Adding -v parameter will display useful information about task(s) content.
Check configuration syntax
When you create or modify configuration try running FlexGet with check parameter. It will go through the configuration file and report any irregularities found. If you used recommended configuration name and location, simply executing flexget check will do this. If this doesn't report any problems you should have fully working configuration file.
- See how to manage series for how to refine this example into real world usage (with multiple tasks).
- Continue into plugins to learn all about available plugins you may use in you configuration file.
- Still confused about Yaml syntax?

There's More Than Scorn In Indiana
If you're a longtime reader of my blog, you'll have probably picked up that I live in the good ol' state of Indiana. We're in the heart of the Midwest, a veritable hotbed of inactivity, unless you stumble into our capital, Indianapolis, which is a thriving and constantly evolving community.
I've lived in Indianapolis for about 23 years. A transplant from Atlanta, I quickly learned that my southern accent was not welcome, so I attempted to adopt the flat, unaffected tone of a "Hoosier." I still, to this day, have no fucking idea what a Hoosier is. There's a decided opinion that if you have to ask, you're not one.
Do I like it here? I do now. Indy has seen a renaissance in recent years, inspired no doubt by the Super Bowl. Thankfully for all of us, the rebirth didn't peter out after the drunken revelers trekked back home. Something new is created here each day, and I find that exciting.
Stumble outside of the city, however, and you're confronted with mostly small towns. Farming communities abound. There's a reason why people think Indiana is all cornfields, and that's because it mostly is. We have soybeans too. I've heard rumors of livestock, but I rarely venture outside of the city without the aid of an airplane, so I can neither confirm nor deny.
Politically, Indiana as a whole tends to lean to the right. Obama won the electoral vote in 2008, but the state changed its mind in 2012 and voted in favor of our old buddies, the Republicans. We're on the ass end of the bible belt, but I'd consider us more moderate with GOP tendencies.
As for me, if you held a gun to my head and made me pick a party, I guess I'd say I'm a Democrat, although, truth be told, I'm completely disenchanted with both parties at this point. I'm socially liberal and always will be, but when it comes to fiscal matters, I can understand the conservative argument.
I'm a firm supporter of gay marriage. Homosexuality has never been "wrong" to me, so never once had I entertained the idea that two bros shouldn't enter into a state of legal matrimony. In a country that is oftentimes confused by the concept of love, I see no harm in two people (humans, before any of you accuse me of supporting goat on lady marriage) expressing their commitment to each other the same way that I can. Trite though it may sound, love is love, and I'd love to see more overt examples of it in the world I live in.
That being said…I will always respect that people are entitled to their beliefs. There are many people who are disgusted by homosexuality. It baffles me and irritates me, but in order for anyone to respect my beliefs, I must first respect theirs. To be clear: I do not agree with them. I'd happily engage in an educated discussion with someone who held that belief, but I'm not going to show up on the doorstep of a recognized bigot and challenge their belief system. Most of my philosophy comes from the understanding that change can only happen when you're ready to accept change. Quitting smoking is a good example. Nobody successfully quits smoking because someone told them to. They eventually go back to it or sneak around to do it. When that person decides "enough is enough. I no longer want to be a smoker," that's when they can quit. Until someone shows me that they want to understand why love is universal and not just between a man and a woman, I know I can't help them understand. Instead I wait until an invitation has been handed to me. TL;DR: I don't waste my time with close-minded people.
That brings me to the real point of this particular post. In the last election, my state picked Mike Pence as our new Governor. I didn't vote for him, but wasn't too terribly disappointed when he was elected. Our last Governor (Mitch Daniels) was also a Republican, and I'm a big fan of his. Many of the good things happening in my fair state can be attributed to him. I'm sure some people disagree with me, but I really don't give a fuck.
The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was struck down by the US Supreme Court yesterday. If you didn't know this, please e-mail me and explain how you've managed to get internet in your cave. I've considered moving to a cave for a number of years, but the lack of internet connection has always been a concern of mine.
Mike Pence issued a statement that started off as follows:
"I believe marriage is the union between a man and a woman and is a unique institution worth defending in our state and nation. For thousands of years, marriage has served as the glue that holds families and societies together and so it should ever be.
"While I am disappointed that the Supreme Court has overturned the federal Defense of Marriage Act, I am grateful that today's decisions respect the sovereignty of states on this important issue. These decisions preserve the duty and obligation of the states to define and administer marriage as they see fit.
"Now that the Supreme Court has had its say on the federal government's role in defining marriage, the people of Indiana should have their say about how marriage is understood and defined in our state."
TL;DR: I don't believe homosexuals should get married. Now is Indiana's opportunity to define marriage. (For those of you not from the US, marriage laws are decided per state.)
I don't agree with Mike Pence that marriage is a union between a man and a woman, but I choose to respect his beliefs and opinions, just as I would hope any other person would do for me. As I read his statement, a tiny ball of hope was born inside me. It's up to us to decide how we want marriage defined in our state. He was recognizing it, encouraging it. That hope was misplaced. I learned this as I read the remainder of the statement.
"Given that opportunity, I am confident that Hoosiers will reaffirm our commitment to traditional marriage and will consider this important question with civility and respect for the values and dignity of all of the people of our state. "
Gov. Pence has extended the invitation for Hoosiers (what the fuck is this even?) to exercise their rights as citizens of this state to define how we want to live as long as it coincides with HIS belief. HIS. Not ours, HIS.
Hey Mike, this isn't YOUR state, this is OUR state, and if WE decide that we want marriage to be defined as between two people regardless of gender, then you're going to have to hop onto this crazy train and ride off into the sunset with us.
In fact, we HIRED you to work for US. Your job is to listen to our needs and act accordingly. If this is something that you're unable or unwilling to do, then perhaps you should find a different mode of employment.
Marriage doesn't get to be defined by me, and it most assuredly doesn't get to be defined by you. It gets to be defined by "we the people" of Indiana. For you to use such manipulative language to imply that there would be some disappointment on your end if your people don't share the same beliefs as you is both egregious and unhealthy for the position you currently hold.
Express your personal beliefs without question, but when it comes to a matter such as this, take a step back and look at what WE want. This isn't about religion. This is about what's fair and just. Religion has no place in politics. Your beliefs are best nurtured in your church, not your office.
It could very well be that Indiana decides against gay marriage, in which case you can sit in your office, rub your hands together, and cackle like some political interpretation of Dr. Claw. However, if the people speak and say "this is what we want," you need to support that decision.
You will be disappointed in Indiana as a whole if we choose to recognize all forms of marriage, but I can tell you right now, emphatically, I am disappointed in you for attempting to sway people to your beliefs instead of allowing them the opportunity to choose what's right for them.
Shame on you, Gov. Claw. Shame on you.
P.S. If you don't know who Dr. Claw is, may God have mercy on your soul. Inspector Gadget was the best cartoon of all time. ALL TIME.

TIP: Multiline tooltip
By sandipchitale on Oct 14, 2006
Say you want to display the message from a Throwable in a JLabel and the Throwable's stack trace in the label's tootip - you could do something like the code below:
From the GUI standards point of view this may not be a good practice because the tooltip text is not selectable/copyable. I am using the contrived example only to demonstrate the tip. In fact I wish the Swing tooltip had a mode in which the tooltip text could be selected/copied.
Throwable throwable = new Throwable("Sample message from a Throwable");
JLabel messageLabelWithSingleLineTooltip = ...;
StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();
throwable.printStackTrace(new PrintWriter(stringWriter)); // capture the stack trace as a string
messageLabelWithSingleLineTooltip.setText(throwable.getMessage() + "(Single line tooltip)");
You get the following wide, single line tooltip (truncated to keep the image size small).
Not very useful. The stack trace is very hard to read. The problem happens because normally the tooltip text is shown as a single line of text where as the stack trace is in the form of a multiline text. The newlines are simply stripped off. There is a simple solution to the problem though. The Swing tooltip supports html syntax. Thus you can use "
" + multilineText + "
" and let the
 tag handle the multiline text. Here is the code:
JLabel messageLabelWithMultiLineTooltip = ...;
