State Patrol ready for busiest Memorial Day weekend in decade
Matt Barlar doesn't take joy from pulling people over, but the State Patrol Trooper knows he'll do plenty of it along I-94 in Racine County this weekend.
\"I'm not going to say I've seen it all, but more or less, I'm used to working the holidays,\" Barlar said inside his squad car Friday afternoon.
Barlar is a part of boosted city, county and state patrol efforts during the memorial day weekend. It's a time of year the state sees the number of deadly crashes jump significantly from the winter and spring months. 181 deaths on the roads so far in 2015 mark a 33 percent jump from 2014.
Those are numbers Sergeant Wendy Younglove hopes don't go up on her watch.
\"You kind of see a lot of everything and then, with the increased traffic you'll see more following too close, that people aren't allowing enough distance between the cars,\" Younglove said.
Younglove says they're putting special emphasis on DUI patrols and the \"Click it or Ticket\" seatbelt campaign this weekend. But the biggest issue is always speed, which Younglove says people consistently do in construction zones.
\"Sometimes we'll hide in there, but as a general rule we're out and we're very visible,\" Younglove said.
Visibly missing: any workers from those zones. Mike Pyritz with the Wisconsin DOT says the state required all work to stop from noon Friday through 6 a.m.Tuesday.
\"It's really a safety-driven thought process to help motorists and particularly motorists who may not be as familiar with the construction areas to be able to get safely through those zones,\" Pyritz said.
As for speed limits, officers remind drivers the new 70 MPH law doesn't go into effect until signs go up next month. Still, Barlar knows some drivers will push the limits and when they do, he expects them to follow his golden rule.
\"How would you want your mom to be treated if she gets pulled over by an officer,\" Barlar said \"So, we think about that.\"
The DOT and State Patrol encourage drivers to plan their trips according to road conditions and construction zones. You can find up-to-date information through the DOT's travel website here.

"You begin saving the world by saving one man at a time; all else is grandiose romanticism or politics." Charles Bukowski
Following on in the same vein as my attempt to organise my writing files… After I've made the obligatory coffee, how do I first start to write? I open up my writing folder on the computer, and
- Copy-and-paste the document, to create a copy.
- As I like to date stamp my writing (in the event of something cataclysmic happening), I then have to rename the file, changing the date at the start (to today's date) and trim off the "- Copy" at the end.
- I then drag the previous (older) version of the file into an archive location, so my directory isn't full of dozens of duplicates.
It might only take a few seconds, but it is tedious, and time better spent actually writing. No More.
I have created a fairly intelligent macro to do all this boring stuff for me, and now share it with you.
What it Does
Using the macro to save your document will:
- Default the "Save As" dialog to your preferred writing location.
- Automatically add today's date (YYYY-MM-DD) to your file, either at the beginning or the end of the filename.
I recommend doing it at the beginning of the file, because then it sorts nicely by name. (Later, I changed my mind in some circumstances).
- If you have already saved the document today, it will add an alphabetic string e.g.
- First save = 2015-05-30 A New Document.docx
- Second save = 2015-05-30a A New Document.docx
- Third save = 2015-05-30b A New Document.docx
- Twenty eighth save = 2015-05-30za A New Document.docx, etc.
- Move the "old" document to an archive location (with a directory structure that is mirrored to your writing folder structure, and created on-the-fly).
For example if I have the following settings on the macro:
If I create a new document, run the macro and select the folder P:\Writing\1 – Incomplete\Science Fiction\Short Stories\The Galactic Mirror\ and type in the filename: Galacting Mirror – Story 1.docx, a document will be saved P:\Writing\1 – Incomplete\Science Fiction\Short Stories\The Galactic Mirror\2015-05-30 Galacting Mirror – Story 1.docx.
If I then run the macro again, P:\Writing\1 – Incomplete\Science Fiction\Short Stories\The Galactic Mirror\2015-05-30a Galacting Mirror – Story 1.docx will be saved, and the original file (2015-05-30 Galacting Mirror – Story 1.docx) will be moved to A:\Writing Archive\1 – Incomplete\Science Fiction\Short Stories\The Galactic Mirror\
How to Install
- Open Microsoft Word to a new (blank) document.
- Press Alt+F11 (the Alt key and F11 key) to open the Visual Basic coding windows.
- Select "Normal" (highlighted in image below in blue). This will make the macro part of Normal.dot which means it will be accessible in every document. Click on the down arrow on the second icon from the left and select "Module" (highlighted by red line in image below).
- Double click on the module, which will open up a blank window in the Visual Basic.
- Copy in the macro code.
- Change the values in the setting section to be how you want them (as described in the table above).
- Save with Ctrl+S and close the Visual Basic window (using the x in the top right corner of the window).
Now the macro is there, and can be accessed in any Word document by using Alt+F8 and running DateStampFile. It works, but there is an even easier way by adding it to the Quick Access Toolbar.
- In Microsoft Word go to File > Options.
- Select Quick Access Toolbar on the left.
- Select the top left drop-down list and choose "Macros"
- Select Normal.Module1.DateStampFile and "Add >>"
- If you want, you can use "Modify…" to assign it a more user-friendly name and icon.
This icon will now appear in the top left of your Microsoft Word, so a single click can save, datestamp and move your old file!
That's it! There's already a few basic improvements I can see that could be made, but I'm not sure I'll bother. I have to keep reminding myself that the purpose of this blog isn't to program, but to write. If you need a little more help setting it up, or come across any big problems/fixes just comment below.

It's a funny thing. Despite the catastrophe that was 2016, I've not written a lot this year. I used to blog more often, and one thing I've learned is that the more acutely I feel something the better I usually write about it. But there's probably such a thing as feeling something too acutely, and 2016 has been overloaded with emotion, for good and ill. I have something – based on a blog post – with an editor, awaiting publication, but this post is the last thing I will type this year. I mean that quite literally – I leave my job tomorrow and I really don't intend to do much in the way of writing in the next 24 hours.
I'm not sure how much writing I will do next year, really. I enjoy doing it but sometimes it's hard to feel that it isn't just adding to the white noise which permanently surrounds most of us. And I have never pretended that my thoughts are especially original – perhaps I write more for myself than for anyone else, and perhaps there's nothing wrong with that.
For ages, I have dreamt of having more time to write. I have always written in my 'free' time, but the nature of the jobs I have had over the past ten years has meant I haven't actually had that much free time, particularly as I do some fairly regular stuff on a voluntary basis as well. Essentially, I have worked a LOT over the past few years. But, from January, I drop my working hours and, ostensibly, that will give me more time to write. But I'm not sure if I'll use it to write, or to read, or to think, or to exercise, or to just sit.
It's easy, as a psychologist – or, probably, anything, but I can only speak as a psychologist – to get pulled in a lot of different directions, for all sorts of reasons. It's especially easy, I think, if it's really important to you to be a 'good' psychologist. I don't know how I conceptualise that, necessarily, but I suppose part of it is trying very hard not to cause people more harm. And that's a really hard thing to do, because mental health services and the people who work in them have been doing harm for a very long time. So it becomes very easy to have incredibly high standards, or to look to other people's standards, which you then perhaps can't meet, and it's probably not the most helpful pattern to fall into. It's obviously even easier when you're a heavy social media user, and I've noticed in recent months that I've spent much less time interacting with people on Twitter – and certainly less time discussing mental health in any particularly in-depth way. I enjoy Twitter a lot, and I've met many people I like and respect through it, but it does seem like a constant fight, sometimes, to be all things to all people, and often it's rather more stressful than I would like it to be. You can't vanquish your own pain by funnelling it all into someone else, and it's not nice watching it happen, or having it happen to you. But, of course, if you're going to use a tool you have to be prepared to take the good with the bad, and maybe I'm a bit tired of the anger and the pain and the overt hostility. So while I won't quite be flouncing off into the sunset, I'll probably be around a bit less.
In the immediate future, I will be in a kind of purdah – it's time for a well-deserved, and distinctly overdue, holiday, and I shall be incommunicado from tomorrow. I might, after my return, feel differently, but I don't think so. I suspect that a couple of weeks away from the chatter will be very good for me and I'll realise, as I always do when on a self-enforced hiatus, that it can sometimes take away from my life, as well as adding to it. And, of course, I'll be busy having a new job and and that will probably give me plenty to be getting on with.
I hope that next year will bring less of a malaise, politically, but I won't hold my breath. And maybe I will come to a point where I can offer a perspective on things which is more original, more nuanced and more useful in creating positive change. But, as I have said before, perhaps the biggest resistance in these unpleasant and damaging times is simply treating those around us with kindness and gentleness and humanity. And so, in that spirit, a Merry Christmas to you all, and may you be buoyed up for the challenges of 2017.

The culmination of months of design, photography, and development have been assembled together and launched onto the information superhighway….and its name – Neela Bags. Neela Bags is a new, reusable bag venture for those who want to be environmentally friendly and stylish at the same time. When Neela's founders approached us to create their web site and provide art direction they were looking for a way to show off their stylish bags and demonstrate the company's commitment to environmental issues all within a clean, modern design. We're very happy with how things turned out. Jump over to Neela Bags and let us know what you think.

The photos you took for Neela Bags were outstanding and the web site is stunning. I also enjoyed the "on location" shots (here on your site), especially the shot of the lightbox. Good luck in the future–a quick review of your portfolio makes it easy to understand why the Neela Bags work is so impressive.

Hey guys,
Just thought I'd share this link for anyone here who is interested in France/ speaks French. I currently have a friend who is doing TAPIF (Teaching Assistant Program In France) and loves it.
There's no salary, but you get a monthly stipend and well, you get to live in France. Everyone I know from college who has done it has loved it. You can do up to 2 years in a row, from what I've heard, and can renew indefinitely. They also have a really awesome, easy application (all documents can be uploaded and sent online, unlike JET) and you don't even need a really good French proficiency to apply. All you need to be able to do is write 1-2 pages in French, and it's only used to judge your proficiency: not a test in a sense.
Here's the link:
The Teaching Assistant Program in France - French Culture
The app this year was due January 1st, but if any of you guys are interested in it for next year, I thought I'd put this down, cheers. : )
Edit: checked, and it's only for US citizens, lame.

Ever had a moment so nerdy that you needed to tell the Internet about it? Send your submissions to dorklypwnmylife at gmail.
We begin this issue with a special message to Jeff B.: You've won the "Pwn My Lifetime Achievement Award," for submitting more entries than anyone else by far. Jeff B. has tried to get into this column 18 times between Sept 16, 2010 and July 3, 2011. While none of his submissions were nerdy enough to be published, his single-minded determination to contribute to an Internet column is notable in itself. Congratulations, Jeff. You've finally made it.
Everybody loves Super Mario Bros. 3. I, however, hold a special place in my heart for it. I was five years old in 1990, when my family purchased the game. Only a few months later, our house burned down. We salvaged what we could. Among the debris we found our blackened, soot-covered copy of SMB3. We didn't think it worked, but we kept it anyway. A few months after that, my mother's coworkers pooled money together and bought my brother and I a new NES. The first thing we did was put in SMB3 and, I'll be damned, it still worked! Every now and then I still play it. It reminds me of my old house, and how my brother and I would play it on Saturday mornings.-Anonymous
My boyfriend and I refer to cuddling as "tetris-ing."-Adam
When I was younger, I couldn't go to sleep if it was silent. My dad would record the audio of himself playing Super Mario Bros. for the NES to a cassette. Then he would play it for me like a lullaby when it was time to go to bed.-Desza Star
I'd be the first to admit I was obsessed with Final Fantasy when I was 13. My friend at the time took it to another level. He had a habit of getting into fights at school, and his FF obsession would spill over. When he was squaring off with another kid, he would bounce around on the spot, just like the idle characters in the game. If that wasn't bad enough, he would also attack with 3-hit combos, including an occasional spin-move. He got beat up every time.-George
I often do spray paintings at public events, or on the boardwalk whenever a cruise ship comes into town, for money. The thing is, I only do spray paint paintings. My girlfriend was confused when she found some small fine-tip brushes in my room. I lied and said they were for some specific textures you can't get with spray paint and signing my name. They're for my D&D figurines.-H
When I started experimenting with drugs as a teenager, I went on ehow.com to learn how to smoke pot.-Anonymous
For our wedding last year, we named the tables on our seating plan after certain levels/locations from our favorite videogames.-Anonymous

I remember when he opened a Facebook account, plenty Naija peeps been dey very happy, cos they felt we now have a happening Presido wey dey use technology dey communicate with im people. As in ehn, I sure say some people even been dey feel say one day, dem go get opportunity to even chat with uncle Jonny for online. At then, anything wey Uncle Jonny talk for im status, everybody go just dey "like" the status up and down, dey praise the guy like say im dash everybody for Naija N1 milla, or im don provide 24/7/ electricity. But for the past few months, guyzes don dey vex for Uncle Jonny due to his incapability of handling certain sensitive issues, especially when it comes to the security in the nation. Cos as far as I dey concern, our security dey very very naked and cold. So this has resulted to a lot of people getting so pissed off at him. And the whole fuel subsidy thingy didn't even help issues. So these days, whenever our beloved presido updates his status, instead of seeing all the praise, na so so vexation comments go just full everywhere……as in PEOPLE DEY VEX EHH…..nothing just seems to work in the country, and someone def needs to be held accountable you know. And who else but the head nukka in charge, Uncle Jonny
Anyways so as usual my guy posted this yesterday:
As we celebrate the brith of Jesus Christ this Christmas season, I want us all to pause for a while and consider what we are celebrating. We are celebrating the birth of Jesus and the commencement of His life of self sacrifice. Upon a further examination of the life of Jesus, we see that His life exemplified qualities that are needful in nation building i.e. concern for His nation, the world and future generations. He put the interest of His nation and humanity above His personal interest and made the ultimate sacrifice. Those of us who are Christians will recall that Jesus did ask us to follow His example and likewise consider the interest of others and our society. So, as we celebrate Christmas, this message should not be lost on us. Perhaps we should consider how best we can sacrifice today so that our families, our nation, our offspring and future generations can have a greater tomorrow. Nigeria is currently at a time in her national life where she requires sacrifice from all citizens in order that the wellbeing of future generations will be a thing of certainty not speculation. I assure you that the required sacrifice will start with me. Let our corporate sacrifice be our Christmas gift to future generations. I wish all Nigerians a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in advance. May God keep you throughout this season and beyond. GEJ
Yeah and blah blah blah blah blah......Anyways the reason I posted this was because of a reply someone made to his status, and I had to LOL well well....
"You have lost the mandate to rule, please if you cannot overhaul your security apparatus,then just resign! we can be slaughtered every day like xmas turkey and u r speaking english."HA HA BOYS ARE VEXING EHH......LOL......Naija peeps get bad mouth???!!!! lol.
And if this isnt the gayest pic from Uncle Jonny, then I dont know what is :(

Natural medicine. Part 2
A related issue arises with vitamins and minerals. Although vitamin E is a necessary nutrient, the vitamin E in tablets is a refined processed product, a single isolated chemical. It's not as natural as food rich in vitamin E. Nonetheless, it can be called natural, because using vitamin E supplements involves improving nutrition. All vitamins and minerals satisfy the qualification of natural medicine in this way. (See What's the difference between a nutritional dose and a megadose of vitamins and supplements? for an additional aspect to the use of such supplements.)
Food Supplements
Other "food supplements" are not actually nutrients. Examples include glucosamine (used for arthritis), coenzyme Q10 (used for heart conditions as well as to correct depletion caused by drugs), and creatine (used as a sports supplement and for muscle disease). You don't ordinarily get very much glucosamine, coenzyme Q10, or creatine in your diet. However, they are found in foods to some extent, and when taken by mouth they appear to augment normal body functions. Therefore, it makes some sense to call them natural.
Still other supplements are not "natural" at all, in any meaningful sense of the word. DHEA, melatonin, and "natural" progesterone are indeed found in the body, but they do not occur to any appreciable extent in foods. They are really no different than many other hormones you might receive by prescription. Finally, some substances sold as dietary supplements such as vinpocetine and huperzine A (both are used for memory loss) are just drugs that have "sneaked through" the regulatory process and wound up on the dietary supplement shelf.
The moral of the story is that if you want your medicine to be "natural," you need to think about whether you are accomplishing that goal with the treatment you are considering. The Encyclopedia will help you make these decisions wisely.

Photographer's Note
Every day at Toca do Morcego (Bat's Cage) people wait for the sunset with a DJ playing lounge. At the tables, candles on these paper bags filled with sand and... two caipiríssimas! It is a kind of caipirinha but made with Run.
How to make a Caipiríssima:
One sliced lemon, one measure of Run (or cachaça for caipirinha), sugar and a lot of Ice. Mix it like a barman on that metalic shaking thing. Drink it!
How to see a fantastic sunset:
Have your caipiríssima at Morro de São Paulo!
This picture was taken on a point and shoot camera, with no tripod... that's why it shakes a little.

You gave 10s exposure and it captured the light very well, although the blur image of motion is still reasonably visible, it is not able to render a good subject. The motion of tree leaves may not be useful in this shot.
Overall, the photo still looks great due to good composition and color contrast. TFS

Olá Rico,
capturou muito bem a essência desse local, eu gpstei muito desses botecos, mas achei muito caros, e foi engraçado que a partir das 18 horas os garçons trocavam os cardápios por outros com os valores dos produtos dobrados!!! Coisas do Brasil mesmo... A nitidez ficou ótima.
Parabéns e Abraço!

Behind the Library
2-7-98 (17 yrs old)
So here I am, sitting behind the library because I had to take Kira to tap again. It's warm and sunny, at least that's a nice change. Well, Thomas and I have been having some really nice conversations lately and I've been thinking about him a lot. I'm lucky to have him as a friend. I had a realization the other day. Gosh, maybe I'll just start with Monday. I spent the night at Sati's on Monday, she had told me before that R & L broke up. Well, on Sunday she had gotten stoned with Sarah & Allison and both of them had asked Sati if me and R were gonna hook up, so I guess others noticed what went on at the party too*. So I told Sati I would like that but I'd figured it'd never happen. So she said, well why don't you just call him and ask him to do something? Well, anyhow, she ended up calling him for me** on Wednesday night and it's a real bummer, him & L are working things out. I guess it's good for them, but they seem so wrong for each other.*** Anyhow, on Wed night I talked to Kevin for a long time and I ended up telling him how I felt. Because for some reason I told him I didn't think he knew how much I cared for him. He asked and so I told him that he was everything, how I'd thought he was the one I'd be with for a long time, how he was my every breath & that Leanne Rimes song was really how I felt. He said he didn't know I felt that way. How the fuck did he think I felt? I mean, Jesus. I loved him.**** I'd do almost anything to have him back, but he's got a new girlfriend now. Her name is K and I guess she goes to WCC, I don't know how they met but I wonder. now. Now I can understand why it's so fuckin' hard for Sam to talk to me. Damn, I can hardly talk to Kev w/out wanting to say how I feel or ask questions about her. So I guess I can't blame Sam.***** Speaking of whom, I realized on Wednesday what a jerk I'd been to him and after I went to the court to observe w/Sati on Thursday I drove over to the college to talk to him. So I apologized. I didn't realize my hands were shaking until he pointed it out to me. I told him how sorry I was, that he was right all along and that I should have left him alone the first time he asked me to & that if he didn't want to talk anymore that I understood & I'd respect that. So he didn't really say anything about talking so I assume he doesn't want to. But he gave me a hug & forgave me so the thing I regret now is losing a great guy as a friend. So I did something last weekend I said I'd never do. Me & Sati took a pack of cigarettes from work. Theyw ere all gone by Tuesday. I just wanted to so bad & it was good. I got a pack of herbals b/c I said I didn't want to smoke regular ones all the time, but I decided I would just not smoke except like at parties or if I get really upset or something. There's not really any point to smoking herbals anyhow, it's no effect. So I finally did it. I also got a haircut & dyed my hair on Friday, it's like orange. It's not permanent but I think I'm gonna dye it permanent when this stuff washes out. I got a lot of compliments on it. Well, Sati's mom is going out of town from Feb 26-Mar 7 and I'm gonna stay at her house some of the time, Mom & Rob are making me come home one night, but oh well. We (me & Sati) are having a party & I know R & A & J & S & A & maybe L & E & her roommate are gonna be invited. It's gonna be lots of fun. I can't wait. Kira's going to North Dakota over Feb break. THat'll be weird to not have her around for a week. Sati's been talking a lot about moving out lately and I wish so much I could move out with her soon. Next time I get paid I'm gonna get another earring. I met a really nice guy named Noah in English & I had an excuse to ask for his phone # but I ended up not calling him. He works at Costco & I'm not sure how old he is anyhow. Well, I guess that's all for now.
*What 'happened at the party' was basically hand-holding. I know, super risque!
**Remember when you used to get your friends to call dates for you? Hilarious.
***R&L are now happily married w/2 little kids.
****No, no I didn't. I thought I did, but seriously? No.
*****This was the Sam that my son is partially named after. After that day I didn't talk to him for about a year when he contacted me days before his suicide.
Now, tell me about something this made you remember in the comments!

Oh my gosh, Rachael, this had me laughing like a loon. Totally. And reminded me of what a horrible nerd I was, really. I didn't journal back then and now? I am glad I didn't.
Hand holding...sigh, you nasty old skank, you! hahahahahahhahahahahah.
Seriously. I love this.
- Dumblond said...
Oh, high school hell. What drama...
Herbal cigarettes?! I used to smoke those too! And cloves...I liked the clove cigarettes. They smelled good.
- LceeL said...
I wish I'd been able to read something like this when I was 17. Maybe it wouldn't have been so painful.
Remember the time I stole your cigarettes and smoked them in front of you just to freak you out? Now THAT was funny!
Definitely takes me back. I would love to join but somewhere over the years I have lost all my old journals.
I wanted to offer a few suggestions for a series title:
The Weird Science of Teenagers
Life before Adulthood
- JennyMac said...
Clove cigarettes!!! LOL. I have danced that dance a time or two.
- Mimi said...
Wow you're just a baby! In 98 I was 31 with 2 little ones.
When I was in high school, I kept a journal, well a whole series of them, but I gave them to my high school sweetheart.
When he broke up with me, he got rid of them. I would SO love to have those back. It was 3 years of my life written down.

"Through the economical use of high-quality materials and by exploiting the structural properties of spatial systems, light, portable buildings can be created without significant dead weight. The construction is limited to the absolute necessities."
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Frei Otto
No other form of construction offers such individuality and design opportunities.
Textile roofs allow large areas to be covered without the need for supporting columns or load bearing walls. No other architecture creates such wide spans with such a minimal use of materials and energy.
The fascination of tensile structures, increasingly inspires architects and designers to include the tensioned membrane structures in their field of application. In cooperation with architects and Builders, Ceno Tec continuously optimizes multidiscipline, optimized complete solutions - from architectural concept to constructive detail.

OPIC's Monthly News Wrap-Up: March 2012
We frequently share the important pieces of journalism we find on our Facebook and Twitter feeds. Starting this month, we will also begin recapping on our blog some of the stories we consider most important to helping solve critical development challenges.
This month there has been increased discussion over ways to encourage more economic development in Afghanistan in order to accelerate the path to a peaceful future. Here at OPIC we are doing our part to make that vision a reality. Recently, OPIC and Afghan Growth Finance (AGF) signed an agreement to co-finance up to $11.5 million in loans to small businesses in Afghanistan. This partnership will provide small and medium-sized enterprises with access to capital in larger amounts and for long-term tenors, which are terms generally unavailable from other financial institutions in the Afghan market.
This month has also provided an opportunity for the world to reflect on the first anniversary of many of the events of the Arab Spring. This interactive timeline breaks down the events by date and country and shows the breadth and scope of how the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) have evolved over the past year.
This March marked one year since OPIC President and CEO Elizabeth Littlefield traveled with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to Egypt and Tunisia to meet with the interim governments, revolutionary leaders, and civil society. Secretary Clinton later announced that OPIC would provide $2 billion in support, including loans, guarantees and political risk insurance, to catalyze private-sector investment in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). OPIC's current portfolio in the MENA region totals nearly $2.6 billion across 50 projects.
One industry that has been generating attention this month as a potential area for investment in the MENA region is the renewable energy sector. Lynn Tabernacki, Managing Director of OPIC's Renewable and Clean Energy Programs, joined the public discussion on this topic with a piece in Renewable Energy World, in which she suggests how leasing equipment could accelerate use of renewable energy technology in emerging markets and encourage economic growth.
It has been a busy month filled with news about the industries and geographies in which we operate. We hope you will take the opportunity to share other interesting pieces you have discovered below in our comments section.

Long term blog readers may recall me writing about the Round House at Festival Park, Stoke Upon Trent. I'd stumbled upon it when walking the towpath catching a glimpse through the trees which conceal it on the two sides adjacent to public footpaths. Obtaining a good view proved quite difficult as there is now a ramp between the towpath and the busy A53 (Etruria Road). Eventually I was able to access the site on a weekend via the Bet365 car park which just happened to be under construction.
The Round House
This is one of two round houses which were located at either end of Josiah Wedgwood's original pottery factory. The remainder of the factory has long gone. More information can be found in this link <Round House>
Google Maps doesn't show the building
However it can be seen in Google Earth
This is the only remaining part of Wedgwood's original factory and I assume hundreds of boaters pass each year without realising it's there. But that's not why I mention the Round House. I'd actually been reading about Charles Darwin and discovered he was related to the Wedgwood's. Charles married one of his cousins, Emma Wedgwood, the daughter of Josiah Wedgwood II. Interestingly back in the late 18th century it wasn't uncommon for cousins to marry. Charles married Emma and one of Emma's brother's married one of Charles' sisters. This situation repeats itself through the generations.
Another interesting fact was the control parents had over their adult children. Although aged 22, Charles Darwin felt obligated to ask his father for permission to accept the invitation to travel with the Beagle on its voyage of discovery. His father refused; however Josiah Wedgwood (Emma's father and the brother-in-law of Charles' father) convinced Charles' father to give consent.
Charles proposed to Emma when they were both 30. She was initially reluctant to accept because his views on evolution conflicted with her own religious beliefs. They went on to have 10 children, seven of which survived. Quite a low child mortality rate for the day.

monday, monday
I don't know where to begin or what to mention – it was as if this weekend was designated as one big happening! f had committed himself to dixie duty and honestly I think he's so psyched about his motorsickle, I think he was quite happy to stay home work on the bike and play with the dog.
I headed out with jane on saturday afternoon and we met up with s&p at the ruins of the old coast guard station at wendy park; we wandered about, watched the bird activity, some local anglers and worked our way to watch the dedication of the new whiskey island bridge.
after that historically significant, albeit somewhat amusing, event - j & I said adieu to s&p. we then headed over to ohio city to check out the activity at jane's old community garden. we meandered about and eventually landed at michael's bookstore on 25th street for the rent party. a little poetry, some music and luna the cat holding court. it was a blast. I only hope michael was able to pull in some bucks to help keep the store going! I did my part - made a small donation and left with a bag of books - books that weren't needed, but were bought to help an excellent cause. if anyone is out there looking for an investment opportunity and the chance to be part of something worthwhile - let me know and I'll put you in touch with michael and the bookstore on 25th street.
jane dropped me off early in the evening and the rest of saturday was spent on avenue c - I got in some scrabble with lin and her ma before dinner. after scrabble, f & I ate a late dinner and rested after a full day.
sunday morning had me getting on the train to head over to university circle for the hessler street fair. this year I signed up to help staff a table for the 2008 labor day peace show. it was so windy I'd say what gene and I did was hold down the table! I've often attended this annual rite of spring but this is the first year I've 'worked' it - however calling it work, is a joke - I had a blast meeting and chatting with all sorts of wonderful folks (and dogs). it's an all around good time and an opportunity for the community to travel back in time to the era of love, peace, and good vibrations!

Topotecan and its Effects on Human Topoisomerase I
A very nice paper has been recently published in the free access journal PLoS One. These investigators are starting to ask important structural questions about how Topotecan, a clinically useful topoisomerase I poison, interacts with the enzyme to create a stable complex. The authors go on to examine the molecular details on DNA deformation with drug/specific residue contacts. By focusing on the ternary complex between topo/topotecan/DNA they have gained key insight to our understanding of the dynamics of the process.
Article Source: PloS One Website
Topotecan and Human Topoisomerase I enzyme are available from TopoGEN, Inc.
