Design and chemical engineering of carbazole-based donor small molecules for organic solar cell applications
- 246 Downloads
A serious of carbazole-based acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A) type small molecules have been designed, synthesized and characterized for efficient bulk heterojunction organic solar cell (BHJ OSCs) applications. The synthesized molecules have an electron-rich carbazole unit acting as the electron donor (D) and an electron deficient phenylcyanovinylene unit acting as an electron acceptor to assembled A-D-A type conjugated small molecules (FHCS, NHCS, FBCS, and NBCS). The effect of chemical engineering in designed small molecules through fluorination, nitration and introducing alkyl chain has been studied in view of their optical, physio-chemical and photovoltaic properties. The NHCS and NBCS show broader absorption as compared to the FHCS and FBHS due to the strong electron withdrawing ability of the nitro groups. Interestingly, it was found that the alkyl chain did not affect the thermal and photophysical properties of these small molecules, but it has good impact on the energy level and photovoltaic properties. The FHCS and NHCS molecules showed a deep-lying HOMO energy level of − 5.21 eV, as compared to the FBCS and NBCS. NHCS and NBCS molecules showed low band gaps of 1.81 and 1.77 eV, respectively. The organic photovoltaic device fabricated with the configuration of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/donor:PC61BM/LiF/Al, exhibited the best device performance for the NBCS molecules with: the short circuit current (JSC) of 4.35 mA cm−2, open circuit voltage (VOC) of 0.75 V, fill factor (FF) of 30.07, and power conversion efficiency of ~ 1%.

I was using the reverse side of this sheet of DSP and realized that this side would make the perfect Easter card! And then I glanced my Happy Birthday Thinlit and an idea was born! I love that so many of our products can be used for something very different than what they intended! And seriously, this print of this paper is just so gorgeous!
For the die cut, it's super easy to just trim off the two parts. I splattered a bit of Calypso Coral and added a few pool party accents and a doily! Done!
Happy stamping! Product List

Fungi Inspiration
Inspired by my new acquisition, last night and this morning I sewed this little fun guy.
He is made of soft cotton flannel, including a bit of an old baby blanket, and stuffed with polyester fluff. Here I have him propped by pinecones; he doesn't really stand on his own.

First Paper Cuts
Inspired by Angry Chicken, awhile back I decided to try my hand at paper cutting. I made the bunny one first with the help of a pattern from a paper cutting book. Then I made the second one by just altering the pattern a bit, as you can see. I was planning on using the little chickadees on the cover of Zoë's baby book, but then I had the idea to make a similar one but with a chick on only one side of the heart and a hatched egg on the other, but I still haven't gotten around to making that one (well, there was an attempt, but I won't get into that). Then came an owl for a friend
I ended up framing it with a rectangular frame that I just wasn't quite happy with, and in retrospect I wish I had used an oval frame. I don't know why I didn't think of that at the time, darn.

If Only I Could Crochet (Better)
Then I'd totally make this bikini swimsuit. Isn't it too cute? I love it. It is an old Betsey Johnson design I found in "The Best of Woman's Day Crochet," a book given to me years ago by my Grandmother, and currently for sale on Amazon really cheap if anyone else wants to give it a go. For the time being, I've decided to get more experience on a rag rug, using this tutorial as a guide. Baby steps.
Update (6.13.10): Well, I never made a rag rug and have since found a nice kitchen rug for $1 at a garage sale. I actually did get as far as cutting a bunch of old clothes and sheets into strips and wrapping them up like balls of yarn, but then I looked at all those balls together—mostly whites and bieges with some forest green and maroon thrown in—and realized my rug was going to turn out kind of blah and ugly. Part of me thought that shouldn't matter, as perhaps the making of a rag rug should be done in the spirit of thrifty-ness and recycling, but, in the end, aesthetics (and maybe a little laziness) won out. And then I found the rug at the garage sale, and that was that.

These seriously wonderful smelling mountain laurels seem to suddenly be in bloom everywhere (including my own front yard, to my surprise).
Another anticipated arrival today was that of my two new sewing books! These came to me on high recommendation from a very inspiring lady. I am so excited to get to work with the help of these books. I've had fabric piling up for years and I'm hoping this is just what I need to really get started making clothing.
I am sew excited. Har har. It is funny how the craft world is so full of word play.

First Post & First Fruit Crumble
Today I made my first fruit crumble. I think it was my first anyway, as far as I can remember. I found the recipe here and made a few modifications, most of them for the purpose of making it a bit more wholesome. It didn't completely knock my socks off, but it was pretty darn good and very simple to make, and made even simpler with a few shortcuts. I would definitely make it again, and I bet with fresh, perfectly ripe, in-season fruit it would be really super delicious (I used what I had on hand, which were fresh Braeburn apples and frozen blackberries that were actually quite tart and really not very tasty by themselves). Here is the recipe, with the changes I made:
Any Season Fruit Crumble
Fruit filling-
3 cups cored apples chopped into 1/2-3/4 inch pieces (about 3 apples)
3 cups frozen blackberries (thawed to room temp)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Fresh juice of 1/2 lemon
Crumble topping-
3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup sucanat
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 pound (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
Prepare the Filling
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Combine and stir the filling ingredients in a glass or ceramic baking container with a 2 1/2-quart capacity (I used a 2.2 quart rectangular dish and it worked fine; I even could've filled it quite a bit more).
Mix the Topping
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sucanat, and salt. Add the butter pieces, stirring to coat them with the flour. Rub the butter pieces and flour between your fingers until coarse crumbs form that are about 1/2 to 3/4 inch in size and there is no loose flour. Spread the crumbs evenly over the fruit mixture.
Bake and Serve the Crumble
Bake about 40 minutes until the crumb topping is starting to brown and the apples are tender when tested with a toothpick. Let the crumble cool some before serving.
My tiny funny oven does not have specific temperature settings, so who knows what temperature I really cooked my crumble at, but I just took a guess and kept an eye on it, and after about 35 minutes it was perfectly done. I served it topped with barely sweetened (with maple syrup) fresh whipped cream. Yay, crumble. And yay, first post.

The 'What do you want for Christmas' thread.
I want Pro Evo 2009, and some headlights for my bike.
a doll,a drum anda kick up the bum
also,many albums i have falied to get so far this year
the new Empire:Total War,but thats not out till febuary,so...
New camera
New laptop
New iPod
New bag
New clothes
All of that?
Do you expect that?
Peace, love, goodwill to all goats
and an external hard drive.
my mother texted me asking me this
i hate answering that. giving people a list of THINGS I WANT makes me feel pretty terrible.
i basically just want a few days off work and to spend some time with my family.
Some shoes which are a) waterproof, and b) not full of holes
My shoes have all self-destructed in the wet weather :(
and Curb Your Enthusiasm on DVD.
All I'm asking for
is some dollars for my trip to the states in March - I'm pretty much dreading Christmas this year, besides the whole time off work part.
A coffee table
and maybe some nice towels.
I am getting so lame.
I want a new synth
Actually, I don't have a synth, so I just want a synth. And more pedals, ideally from noisefx or Bugbrand.
The new Guitar Hero game
and a bass.
I got the new Wii GH on Saturday with just guitar
and the fucking guitar was duff. Well, it works on the upstroke but not the down - it is being replaced. If you want a bass for the game (not sure if you do) that is just the guitar that came with GH3.
Argos are knocking this deal out for £50 at the moment.
Running out quickly apparently.
Senn that, yeah
I want the drums too though
My girlfriend won't allow the drums.
Takes up too much space...
The new slidey/playing notes without the strum bar thing is quite fun.
My girlfriend will allow
whatever the damn hell I tell her to allow. Besides, I've already bought he Samba Di Amigo in an attempt to keep her quiet
on my list:
animal collective ticket
fargo poster
herzog dvd
american hardcore book
homebrew kit
i want good, pretty things because i feel like and have no clothes or nice things
there are a couple of bags in accesorize i want, i'd also like some new earrigs/necklaces.
but i also want some FUN presents. i had a few things in mind awhile ago but i didnt wirte them down and now i cant remember :@
I would like one of those classy leather covered ones
although I bought my current one on the way for £7.99 on the way to an ATP and it is still going strong. smells a bit funny.
I like all the boring stuff
stuff I would be reluctant to spend money on my self, a years supply of socks etc
- a tool box (to keep tools in and stuff)
- Rock Band with all the peripherals
- a Boss loop pedal
What I'll probably get:
- a jumper
- some socks
- a book that I won't read
My girlfriend buys me ace presents but doesn't have the money to buy me anything expensive that I'd have to rely on my parents getting me...
So do I
but I'd rather buy them myself and get something interesting to open on Christmas morning...
Saying that, I got some brilliant Incredible Hulk socks off the girlfriend for my birthday.
I have issues with boss loop pedals
given the choice again id get a different brand
Record player
Obscure foreign dvds that I don't understand
Snowboard helmet
Computer speakers
A wi-fi card thing to make my computer work
but that's such a lame present that I actually can't bring myself to ask for it.
a new hat of some description.
i cant actually think of anything i really want
which has happened every year for the past 3 or 4 years. i guess this is growing up?
a haircut
money for records or books
a trip (this one is irrational)
new bike seat, and a lock to keep it there
stupid thieving bike seat thieves :'(
i never really ask for presents, but my parents are pretty good at choosing things i'd like.
who steals a bike seat?
actually, probably best not to think about that too much.
i hadn't even thought about that
until i asked the very same question of my dad's friend the other day and he suggested that it wasn't for a practical use :''''(
and i know! I know what my bike seat looks like though, and if i ever spot it on another bike i'm going to slash their tyres, the cunt.
it's.. sort of a practical use
might want to be careful with the tyre-slashing; I'm sure that was the gist of an episode of One Foot In The Grave.
i'm far too much of a pussy to actually do it
i'd just steal it back and leave them a sharply worded note probably :(
they stole your seat?
That's just stupid.
i'm buying myself a christmas present
it's likely to be an electric piano/keyboard. just to entertain myself during christmas whilst i spend it alone at home.
A job
and a leather jacket please.
Record player.
Some/lots of records.
Relevant record player apparatus.
Pair of desert or Chelsea boots.
Loads of food.
Bangin' hardcore clothes so der girls dey go wild.
i always make something up on the spot when my mother asks. last year it was 'books about rasputin please' low and behold, christmas day; there were four of them. this years response shall be 'a years subscription to tatler please' or some such rubbish. i don't see the point, but she loves it!
My mum says she's going to give me £100 to buy stuff with
But I'm seriously thinking about telling her to just buy me a book and keep the money. My mum ALWAYS massively overspends on Xmas and Birthdays and frankly given I earn a lot more since last Christmas, I'd feel like a grade a cunt actually taking my parents' money
I emailed my mum a list (upon request, I hasten to add)
And it just consists of about five DVDs, a bobble hat and some pants. This year could be bleak
Please do this
I've only got you one thing so far.

The dragon is known from all civilizations. Sometimes it is represented with the characteristics of a huge snake as in Asia or a great winged lizard as in Europe. It can be legless, have two or four legs. Even today, the cinema with spectacular technical effects bring to life magnificent dragons that perpetuate the legends about this fabulous animal.
Many video games whose stories take place in medieval times use the dragon as a character. Very often, the dragon of the adventure has magical powers or an extraordinary strength.
What kind of animal has inspired all these legends? It is possible that some species of large reptiles had escaped extinction and survived in isolated regions of the East, Middle East and Europe. Some dragon descriptions are almost the same as we would do about the Komodo dragon. Over time, the stories narrating the encounter with these large reptiles became probably heroic feats and they gave birth to the legendary beast that we know today.
Nevertheless, the origin of the dragon is still a mystery. It is probably for this reason that this legendary animal continues to inspire the imagination of books writers, the video game and the cinema industry.

Submitted by Karen L. Hanus, Midwest Chapter/MLA President 2018
Hello, Midwest Chapter/MLA! I hope you are looking forward to spring and enjoying milder temperatures wherever you are!
As was discussed at the Business Meeting last fall, our recent financial difficulties led us to start new initiatives to raise money to be able to continue offering scholarship and awards. Over the last few years, we have carried out fundraising activities in conjunction with our annual meetings including a 50/50 raffle, silent auction, and the selection of our very own "critter!" The activities have been so successful that we've decided to go forward and officially create a fundraising committee as a standing committee of the Midwest Chapter/MLA. The board has approved the charge and the first official committee will be appointed this fall during the normal committee appointment process. We currently have an ad hoc committee working on fundraising activities to be held in conjunction with the 2018 meeting. The committee is led by Edith Starbuck and I want to thank her for her leadership and special efforts on these activities.
It will soon be time to apply for scholarships and awards offered by the Midwest Chapter/MLA. This year we will be offering:
• An annual meeting grant to support the attendance of librarians and library staff at the Chapter's Annual meeting
• A first-time attendee annual meeting grant
• A student annual meeting grant
• The Jean Williams Sayre Innovation award
• The Distinguished Librarian of the Year award
This is a great opportunity to apply for funding to attend our annual meeting or to nominate yourself or someone else for an outstanding achievement in our field. We'd love to have nominees for all the awards this year!
Have a happy spring!

How to get Six Pack Abs quicklyBY: David Prakash Kumar | Category: Health and Fitness | Post Date: 2010-01-29
Genetic factors
Genetic factors play a major role in the person getting six-pack Abs. There are many people who have a particular body type and this causes an inability of them to attain this kind of muscles in their body. This is especially true in people who are having parents who are obese and the kids also are prone to have a similar kind of body because of genetics and also lifestyle.
Food factor
Food that is low in fat, is the second very important to have a perfect abdomen. Eat only food with more protein, fruits and vegetables, thus reducing your consumption of fat.
The idea is that you work a few hours at the gym or at home for nothing, if you have a diet that will not allow you to make the stomach to be flat and your abdominal muscles to be strong. Even if you have strong abdominal muscles, it will be covered by a thick layer of fat.
Maintenance training
Training abdomen should be done at least four times a week, but preferably exercising each and every day would be better. The training should last for a minimum of about 15 minutes, so the training would hurt you. Training must change about once every two months, because your muscles will get used to the movements and they would not have the desired effect.
Here's a great way to make your abdominal training. Do 3-4 sessions on each of the exercises that you find below. Beginners should do between 10 and 20 repetitions per set and gradually increase to reach 30 repetitions. Those who have been doing these exercises for a longer period of time can do more sets.
Upper Abdomen strengthening
First, you have to increase the strength of your upper abdomen. Lie down on the floor, feet on the bench and bend at an angle of 90 degrees. Lift your head and shoulders until your body forms a 45 degree angle to the floor. Then return to starting position. Continue doping this again and again. This will help to make sure that your upper abdominals are strengthened.
Do not pull the neck when doing lifts or you will definitely get a neck sprain. Also, remember to exhale when you raise your body and the muscles are contracting. Also remember to maintain this rate of breathing.
Lifting legs
This exercise is great for developing lower abs. Lie flat on a bench or floor and raise your legs at the hip. Hold the legs in this position for about 10 seconds and slowly bring the legs down. This will help to get your lower abdominal muscles strong and toned up.
The oblique abdominal muscles
The third exercise helps to strengthen the oblique abdominal muscles, the ones on the sides of the body. This is a little more difficult. A simple way of doing this is to do the same exercises as for the upper abdominal muscles, but twist your body as you raise your body.
Want perfect six pack Abs?
Progressively increase the number of times you do the exercises and the duration too for the perfect six pack abdominal muscles.

Here, a collection of unpublished cartoons commissioned by The New Yorker, GQ, and more.
A lot died when Donald Trump won the presidency—facts, optimism, our will to exercise. Not least of which were some incredible Hillary Clinton victory cartoons that never saw the light of day. The following illustrations were commissioned by magazines ranging from The New Yorker to our very own GQ.com to the Clinton campaign itself. They were made with the historic first female president of the United States in mind, and would have run in print and online the morning after the election. Instead they were left unpublished, until now. We talked with ten artists about what these graveyard Hillary portraits and cartoons mean to them.
Cun Shi
(Image above, commissioned by GQ.com)
My initial idea was to incorporate aesthetic elements from vintage election posters. I did a lot of visual research and studied photos taken from different angles in order to get a better sense of her features and expression. Sometimes I like to draw a face several times to make sure it feels right, with each attempt getting closer than before. For this piece, I got it right on the third try.
What were you thinking as you made the illustration?
Can't remember...but the last thing that was going through my mind at the time was Hillary losing the election.
How do you feel about art in the age of Trump?
I'm honestly not sure. The times ahead are filled with uncertainty. I've been to countries where the top policymakers value neither culture nor art...it was very depressing, to say the least.
Who is more fun to draw, Hillary or Trump?
Probably Trump.
Julia Rothman
(Commissioned by the Hillary Clinton campaign)
Jennifer Kinon, the creative director for the Hillary campaign, called me up on the Tuesday before Election Day. She told me she wanted an illustration for after the victory, something that showed every president and then Hillary, like one of those vintage president charts. She needed it as fast as possible so she could get approval and make some product. I told her I was on it! That evening I started drawing the presidents one by one, pretty quickly, trying not to care about likeness too much, just making them recognizable. I posted it on Instagram the day before the election, and a friend texted me, "Not yet! You'll jinx it. Wait until tomorrow." So I took it down.
What were you thinking as you made the illustration?
I was thinking, "Wow, so many white men!"
Did you feel personally involved in her campaign?
I was pretty involved from the very beginning. Jen is an old friend, and we've collaborated many times before. I was thrilled when she asked if I'd like to contribute artwork to the campaign. I live-drew debates and rallies and made art for a tote bag, a poster, and T-shirt that was sold on HillaryClinton.com. My artwork was on Hillary's buses that toured the country.
Who is more fun to draw, Hillary or Trump?
Trump is too easy to draw. He is a caricature already. I can draw Trump quickly, and it always looks like him. Hillary takes a bit more concentration. I have to draw her a few times before it starts to look like her.
Jing Wei
These were originally quick thumbnails for a more finalized piece. I was watching a few of Hillary's past speeches for reference, and the sketches ended up being more of an immediate response. I think the unfinished quality of these drawings seems appropriate in this case.
What to you was most exciting about her potential win?
Leading up to the election, the year had been utterly dismal and at times terrifying. The most positive moments have come from people banding together and showing support in the aftermath of great tragedies. Hillary's win would have been a sign that there could at least be some amount of progressive change, that there could be support and protection for the rights of women, LGBT, immigrants, and minorities, and that the nation wasn't being dominated and ruled by hate. It was a matter of reassurance versus a very scary unknown.
How do you feel about art in the age of Trump?
I made zero artwork in the days following the results. I kept thinking, "Should I be drawing something? Is that enough?" And then I started seeing Post-its in the subway, art roundups in the newspaper, personal work being shared on Instagram. It kind of broke that moment of paralysis, and I was reminded of how art is just a tool like anything else. It can and needs to be used to educate, heal, empower, protest, and document, now more than ever.
Who is more fun to draw, Hillary or Trump?
Trump. It's always more fun to draw the villain.
Lauren Tamaki
(Commissioned by New York magazine)
I was so psyched that there was a possibility of a) a lady president and b) a chance to work on a possible cover image to celebrate this event. I wanted to capture a thoughtful, happy expression with eyes looking toward the future.
Did you feel personally involved in her campaign?
As a Canadian in the U.S. on a work visa, I actually couldn't get involved on many levels. I did a lot of political illustrations during the election (including a couple live drawings for The New York Times during the RNC and DNC), which makes me feel like I participated in some way. I followed this election very closely, and I really wish I could have voted! She isn't the perfect candidate or politician, but I agreed with her stance on reproductive rights.
Who is more fun to draw?
Honestly, Trump's exaggerated facial expressions make him easier to draw, but I wouldn't say it's fun...
Ben Schwartz
(Commissioned for NewYorker.com)
I do a topical daily cartoon for NewYorker.com, and one of the ways I keep that interesting for myself (and hopefully my audience) is by playing the news of the days against other parts of pop culture, past and present. In my naive mind, election night was going to deliver closure. It was going to be "game over" for Trump—which made me think of the classic Chappelle's Show sketch about Prince playing basketball and declaring victory with the immortal words, "game, blouses." Swapping Hillary for Prince and "pantsuits" for "blouses" worked quite nicely, I thought, so I decided to draw it up ahead of time.
What to you was most exciting about her potential win?
This is probably the cliché answer, but I was most excited by the idea of having a woman in the White House, and the change and progress inherent in that.
How do you feel about art in the age of Trump?
At least as far as the art of political cartoons goes, I don't think he's the comedic boon that some people assume he is. He's already so cartoonish and over-the-top that it can actually be pretty tough to figure out how to add a joke on top of the reality.
Hilary Fitzgerald Campbell
(Commissioned by Cup of Jo)
When I thought about doing a "post election" cartoon it seemed the answer was so obvious that we could all just go on with our lives--so that's exactly what I drew; people going back to business as usual, with a little pep in their step, knowing their president elect was a qualified, kick-ass lady.
What were you thinking as you made the illustration? I was excited about it! I was excited to move on; to laugh about what a crazy year it has been--and to never look back.
Did you feel personally involved in her campaign? Normally I shy away from politics. I don't enjoy discussing them (I really hate arguing), but this is the first election for me that has felt truly personal. In the beginning, I was much like the rest of the country, not taking the other side seriously--but as time went on, it became more real for me. So yes, as a woman, as a feminist, as an American, I felt personally involved. (Also my name is Hilary so ya know, solidarity)
How do you feel about art in the age of Trump? In times like these, art is more important than ever. It has to stoke the fire, to not shy away. As artists, we need to be loud and unafraid. Especially in the public eye. I've personally had moments of, is it ok to post this? Will I offend anyone, maybe close to me? And you can't think like that. You have to make the art true to you and never apologize for it.
Who is more fun to draw Hillary or Trump? Trump is so ugly (in body and in spirit), I have never drawn him and honestly, probably never will. He simply does not interest me--and I felt the whole issue with this election was the fact that we ever even gave him any attention. I'm getting off topic here! Hillary is way more fun to draw. Women in general are more fun to draw--just look at them.
David Sipress
(Commissioned for NewYorker.com)
These days I am drawing the Daily Cartoon on newyorker.com, publishing a topical/politically themed cartoon every weekday. I like to wait for an idea to hit me close to my Daily Cartoon deadline so that my cartoon will be in direct response to the most current news stories. I drew the first version of the cartoon—"Whew!"—at 6 P.M. on election night, convinced like the rest of the world that Hillary was a shoo-in. I was trying to express the enormous relief that would be felt, not just in America, but all over the world, once Trump was history. And sadly, Photoshop came in handy again at 11:30 that evening, when the totally unexpected—and, for me, frightening and tragic—reality set in. I erased "Whew!" and, almost without thinking, wrote in exactly what I was feeling at that moment, and what I assumed that people around the globe were feeling: "OMFG!" I hated making that change.
Did you feel personally involved in her campaign?
I felt deeply involved in Hillary's campaign, in large part because my work caused me to follow closely every twist and turn. For me it was the prospect of our electing a woman president that was the most important and exciting aspect of her candidacy, not to mention the fact that I agree with her on most issues.
How do you feel about art in the age of Trump?
Going forward will be tough for me as a cartoonist. For one thing, I am sick and tired of making jokes about Trump. There's nothing funny about him anymore. He was kind of fun to draw, and easy—the hair, the mouth, the hands, etc,—I usually managed to capture him with a few quick strokes of my pen. But I was really hoping to have a break from doing it. (Hillary was tougher to draw—no question.) But people need to laugh—especially now. So that will continue to be my job in the age of Trump.
Leah Goren
(Commissioned by Cup of Jo)
This illustration was commissioned a couple weeks before the election, assuming a Hillary win. The premise of the article was to be responses from 10 female illustrators on Hillary's election, which left room to make it very personal. I only sent one sketch, because I knew this was the direction I wanted to go. It was painted with gouache on paper and then scanned into Photoshop. Sometimes I do a lot of assembling or editing in Photoshop, but these drawings were painted as is, minus a few tweaks.
Did you feel personally involved in her campaign?
No, I've never felt too politically engaged. Moving forward, that is changing.
How do you feel about art in the age of Trump?
I think art is just one part of the bigger picture, but it's also so important to continue to share big ideas and personal stories, and art, design, and illustration is a beautiful way to reach people.
Ward Sutton
I created a lot of work critical of Trump in 2016. But I felt that it wasn't enough to be anti-Trump, but that people needed to be pro-Hillary. I devoted time to create this positive image and put it out there for free.
What to you was most exciting about her potential win?
Obama was elected with such sky-high expectations that no mortal could live up to. Hillary, by contrast, would have had exceptionally low expectations going in, while also having amazing experience and political skills. I think she had the potential to be a tremendous success as president. Also, it's high time we had a woman in charge!
Have you met Hillary?
In the fall of 1998, I had the good fortune to be invited to Opening Night at Carnegie Hall with my wife, Sue Unkenholz. We sat at the back of the hall in the second balcony. Suddenly, just before the show was to begin, every head in the entire hall turned back toward us. But it wasn't to see us, obviously; it was to see Hillary, who had just arrived and was sitting directly below us in the first balcony. We craned our necks and could see her merely a few feet away. Seeing that entire crowd facing not the stage but the back of the hall, it really made an impression on me about what kind of life Hillary has lived. Also: The Starr Report had just been released days earlier.
After the concert, Hillary was the key speaker at the reception. When she took the podium, each table in the dining room had one or two people who refused to stand up or clap for her. It was striking. She proceeded to deliver a flawless, passionate speech about the importance of art in public life. She did not appear rattled at all.
Rebecca Clarke
Did you feel personally involved in her campaign?
I did not feel even 10 percent as involved as I had felt with Bernie, and by the end felt okay about voting for Hillary. I made a Trump drawing as well, and it was pretty easy to achieve his likeness, but his expression is not a sympathetic one, so drawing him churns my stomach. I would say Hillary is more satisfying to draw.
Tara Jacoby
This was done within an hour. I was trying to make something quickly that would portray her with poise, strength, and confidence.
How do you feel now that it won't be used for her victory?
Temporarily disheartened.
What to you was most exciting about her potential win?
The possibility of her being able to finally shatter the glass ceiling. And even though she lost, I believe she made a rather large crack, which has inspired many other women to try and break through it.
How do you feel about art in the age of Trump?
Although I'm not looking forward to drawing his mug for the next four years, I do think that he has inspired some iconic, politically and emotionally charged art. I think that artists will use their art to fight for what they believe in, and it will be beautiful.
Have you met Hillary?
I'm still waiting for her to respond to my DM.

Santa Fe for the Holidays
This year for the holidays we drove down to Santa Fe, New Mexico to visit Sam's grandmother. Usually we spend the holidays at home and spend time with both of our families so this was my first Christmas away from my family. Santa Fe was beautiful, the food was delicious and we had a great time with Sam's family. We went shopping on the plaza, admired the Christmas lights in the park, experienced the Canyon Road Farolito Walk and ate lots of red and green chile. Here are a few pictures from Santa Fe:
Happy Holidays!

On July 18, 2010, I went to the hospital because I had severe acid reflux, (so I thought) and they checked my blood and ran a few tests. Immediately, they sent me into surgery for what my doctor referred to as, "the widow maker."
They inserted two stents, (in my LAD) and told me that the lower part of my heart was no longer moving at all, and probably hadn't been for several days. When they released me from the hospital, they told me I needed to attend therapy for at least 12 sessions, consisting of 40 minutes of exercise and then continue on my own. I was told my heart was damaged and I would not be able to gain it back, because the only muscle in your body you can't rebuild is your heart.
I continued going to the gym. I spent 20 minutes on the treadmill (incline of 4 and speed of 3.5 to 3.9) and 20 minutes on the row machine or other similar devices. I also increased my amount of healthy chocolate consumption.
In February 2011, I went for my six month check-up. They did an echo test on me, and then kept me in the hospital for three days for more testing saying they didn't like the way the tests kept coming back. They finally released me and asked if I would come back in two weeks for one more nuclear test. When I asked why, they said when I had my heart attack, my ejection fraction was 30, and normal was 55 to 65. All of my tests were coming back 40, 62, 60, 65 and 53.
I returned in two weeks and did their nuclear test. My doctor called me and told me my results were astonishing at 57. He said, "We can work with that any day all day long." He also told me to quit using my Nitro patches.

When you hear the term man's man what images cone to mind?
I think of people like Gerard Butler, Tom Hardy, Stallone, Hugh Jackman and of course Justin Bieber. Okay hopefully it was aparant I was kidding on the last one. There are more I could name, but the important thing is that these are men that other men admire and are drawn to, so let's take a look at what characteristics and qualities these lads have…
First of all there is the way that they carry themselves. It typically involves a unique combination of confidence, humility and humour. On screen we usually see the fearless and confident side of them that shows a strong outward facade, yet in person they are generally light hearted and grounded.
Guys who go around with a constant "tough guy" scowl are usually doing their own image harm because others see them as a joke; where guys who are able to balance strength and humility are magnetic to both men and women.
Now let's take a look at them from head to toe… Or rather toe to head. What we are after here is creating the body that all men would like to have and all women would like to HAVE.
Powerful legs and a muscular butt are staples of the man's man so no more skimping on leg day at the gym. Here are a couple pointers:
Torso: lean and muscular. To obtain this type of physique means a combination of eating well and training well. For most guys this means training upper body in the 8-12 rep range, and eating a high protein diet rounded out with fiber, healthy fat and a little bit of complex carbs. A slight caloric deficit will be needed if you are to shed fat in your mid section, and the training mentioned above will bring out your muscles nicely while doing so. Shoulders and arms are small muscle groups that can be trained more a couple times per week where as chest and back are usually best trained once every 5-7 days.
Face: a strong jawline, and groomed facial hair are considered staples of the manly man. It may seem like a strong jaw is out of your control, but the trick is just to be lean. Facial hair is not necessarily essential, but if you choose to have some it's best when kept groomed. And no porn star moustaches! Eyebrows should also be maintained but not to extremes. If they are too bushy you look like a slob but is try are razor thin you look like a wimp.
hair: This will be an indivual thing that suits your features. For some people it means no hair at all, and for others it is shoulder length. But it is always kept under control!
Finishing touches: cleanliness is next to manliness. Avoid crap like axe, use a nicely scented bodywash, stick deodorant and if you wish a touch of a good quality cologne. Floss regularily too, bad teeth do not a manly man make!

Well, it's 7am and we're headed to Vegas this morning! I won't be blogging for the next few days but I plan on preparing loads of content for next week so you can have a little peak into what Vegas was like ('cause I know you're on the edge of your seat here). I wanted to prepare a 'To Do' for you but alas, time has run out. So, I leave with you with this, just one thing to think about and live by. "Think less, live more"

Happy Weekend!

My house was built, as far as we can establish, in 1896. We take this date from the house at the end of the road, very similar in style and materials, and which has the useful additional feature of having the date (yup, '1896') inscribed in plaster on its front.
However, we don't know our house's birthday for sure because in 1969 there was an earthquake in a neighbouring town, Tulbagh, which entirely decimated that village, knocked down houses in an approximately 50-kilometre radius of the epicentre, and caused a week-long fire to rage up and down the valley, burning settlements willy-nilly and, along with them, all the planning records for this entire area. So the house's provenance remains a mystery.
When I bought the house, it had three gigantic bedrooms (seriously, big enough to swing a Bengal tiger in), one Fungus-the-Bogeyman bathroom, a bizarre, huge, cold (in spirit and temperature) room that served as the living room for the previous occupants, a galley kitchen (without benefit of a hotwater geyser) and a very strange small 'reception room' that lacked any windows. It also had a garage big enough to house a tank. Or, perhaps, a collection of coffins. All told, it is possible the previous occupants were the Undead; they even left a ghost for us to contend with.
We made the nasty big room into an open verandah, upgraded the bathroom, and turned the tank-park into another bedroom, another bathroom and a study/library/junk pile for moi.
We didn't do anything to the garden except put a pool in it. (Boy, was that exciting – they brought it on a lorry.) And when the dogs arrived – first Sara, then Balu, then Maxi – I was happy I hadn't spent hordes of money creating some sort of landscaped outdoor paradise, because they had their own ideas. Mainly, they dug lots of holes that I could fall into.
But look what they dug up this morning! It's a coin dated 1893 (117 years old!), in really good condition.
On the 'heads' side there's a profile of Queen Victor. Around the edges is inscribed VICTORIA D:G: BRITT:REG:F:D: (DG = De Gratia, 'by the Grace of God'; Reg = Regina, 'Queen'; FD = Fidelis Defendas, 'Defender of the Faith'.)
On the 'tails' side it says ONE PENNY 1893 and there's a picture of the seated figure of Britannia, a lighthouse and a ship under sail.
Having got madly excited and hopeful that my financial woes were finally at an end, I did a bit of Internet research and discovered that, depending on the condition of the coin, I could get anything from ₤14 to ₤200 from it. So: a pretty penny, but alas not enough to save me from penury.

useless dogs...tell them to get back outside and dig up some gold nuggets as well !

The dogs weren't at all interested in anything but digging more holes, but the teenagers got very excited and immediately set out to find buried treasure. They dug for several hours without finding anything of value (surprise!), but they did add a good number of ankle-snapping holes to the already pockmarked garden.

Another record close for the major US indices
Nasdaq leads the charge
All 3 major US indices are closing at record levels for the 2nd day in a row.
- The S&P is up 9.01 points or 0.37% on the day. For the week, the broad index is up 0.99%
- The Nasdaq is up 58.97 points today as tech was on fire. That is a gain of 0.94% for the day. For the week, the index is up 1.62%,
- The Dow added 62.11 points or 0.29%. For the narrow 30 stock industrial index, the gain for the week was 0.59%..
For the year, each of the indices are not doing to shabby either.
- The less volatile Dow is up 7.31%
- The broader S&P is up 8.94%
- The tech heavy Nasdaq is up a whooping 17.14%.
When you get these types of days, and see these kind of returns, I get the feeling there are a lot of money managers who are under performing and having to catch up. It is a dangerous game.

With 2013 drawing to a close I have been reflecting on the past year. 2013 has had it's challenges. I began a road to recovery and have had my fair share of up's and down's. I have had to change the way I do things, the way I see things, the way I live my life. I have had to embark upon a journey, which at times has seemed never ending, and somehow had to find the strength to keep pushing forward and keep fighting every day. However, despite giving me a lot of s**t, the past year has seen some good times. I spent 6 months in Paris with one of my best friends and had some of the best times of my life (Thank you D), I met a new friend for life who I couldn't live without (thank you again for everything S), I celebrated my 21st Birthday, I became a proud member of "Fight Club", I had my first ever "holiday romance", I moved into a house in Bath with 5 great friends and I have began to start experiencing freedom and learning to live again. So whilst I am not too sad about 2013 coming to an end, I am forever grateful to all of my family and my amazing friends for getting me through the past year. I couldn't have done it without you.
Tomorrow comes a New Year and with it comes a fresh start. In order to mark this fresh start I have a New Years Resolution:
Face My Fears & F**k It
I am going to make a conscious effort to keep facing my fears as I strongly believe that the key to recovery is to Face Everything And Recover. As well as facing my food fears, I am also going to face fear in other areas of my life. To get an early start I went on a date last night (Something I would never have done a year ago), and I can honestly say I had a good time. It was a nice reminder that life is a whole lot more fun when Ed isn't running the show.
I am also going to try and live by the rule of F**k It! To explain… my sister bought me a book for Christmas called "The way of F**k it". In the blurb it says: "Saying F**k it and giving up on things that are causing you pain; saying f**k it and following your dreams, no matter what other people think: this is the Way of F**k it. And Following this Way can transform your life." The book offers short, inspirational thoughts that you can use to bring the wisdom of F**k it into your life.
A few of my favorites are:
- You don't have to get it right all the time. F**k it.
- Stop judging everyone and everything. F**k it. It's just boring.
- Say F**k it and eat it.
- So I'm different. F**k it.
- Don't compare yourself to others. F**k it. There are always 'better' and 'worse' people out there.
- F**k it. Do the thing today that most scares you.
- Say F**k it and cancel your gym membership
- Say F**k it to excelling at work: explore the average; revel in your weaknesses.
- Say F**k it and catch a train to somewhere you've never been before
So this year marks what I hope will be a new beginning. I know there will still be down days. I know I will still need to face challenges. And I know that Ed is unlikely to leave me alone. But the difference today is that I am stronger and happier than I was a year ago and I am going to continue finding the strength to keep fighting. The best thing that happened in 2013 was learning that embracing freedom and living life is a whole lot better than a life with Ed. If facing my fears and saying F**k it from time to time can help me down this road to recovery, then that's what I will do. So Goodbye Ed and Hello Me! Ed took the limelight in 2013, 2014 is mine!
Happy New Year!

While signing papers to sell our house (this past weekend):
Realtor: … here is the lead-based paint disclaimer form...
Me: I think maybe if you don't chew on windows or painted trim, you'll be ok.
Buyer: I'll keep that in mind…I'm thinking it doesn't look appetizing though
Me: Yea…but you may have a drunken night…and you just can't know what will happen
Buyer: I'll try to stay away from the paint
Me: So, specifically how much paint would you have to consume in order for the lead-based chemicals to harm you?
Realtor (looking annoyed): I'm not sure
Me: And can it actually kill you, or does it just run the risk of making people dumber?
Chad: Honey…only you
Me: I kind of want to know now…I have more questions about this…
Chad: My wife asks a lot of questions
Me: Fine, I'll google it later
In case anyone is wondering; a few things that came up in my research(this is JUST ONE thing):
"Consuming lead paint (as an adult) can lead to a reduced attention span"
Now, if you know my husband…well, i'll leave it at that
Disclaimer: lead-based paint can be very dangerous for children, pregnant women and anyone that ingests it (willingly or unwillingly). Please keep children away from lead-based paint and always read safety guides on lead-based paint and all household dangers – to ensure your families safety

Thinking about investing or retiring in Delaware?
Housing in Sussex County Delaware - The average price for a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is between $145,000 and $255,000. Location, age and condition determine the variance in pricing.
Lifestyle - Southern Delaware offers a laid back lifestyle which offers outdoor activities, comfortable climate and many medical services.
Investment Properties - Today is the time to purchase investment properties. There are extraordinary values and interest rates are nearing a 30-year low.
Delaware Property Taxes
Our property taxes are one of the lowest in the country. We rank the 7th best in the nation!
State Taxes - Delaware income tax has been reduced at all levels. The state has never had a general purchase sales tax or inventory tax. There are no state property taxes. The total tax structure is competitive with other states.
Personal Income Tax - The State personal income taxes for a resident is assessed on Delaware's taxable income. The taxable income equals Delaware adjusted gross income minus your standard or itemized deducitons. Non-residents are taxed on the portion of income derived from sources within Delaware. The current State rate is graduated and includes several rate reductions.
County Taxes - The Sussex County taxes are based on a 1974 appraisal and is assessed at a 50% of the market value for that time. The county tax rate is $0.445 for every $100 of assessed property value. This is the tenth year that the rate has maintained the $0.445. This tax includes General Bonds, Libraries, and other general operations for the county.
City and Town Taxes - Real Estate in incorporated areas are subject to local property taxes and school taxes. The local city and town governments are, in essence, financed in part by real property tax receipts. The taxes are structured by the tax rate, property assessment and the ratio per incorporated area.
TRANSFER TAX - This is a 3% tax that you will pay when you buy or sell property in Delaware. It will be split between the buyer and seller and collected at time of settlement.( 1.5% to buyer 1.5% to seller)

I have put up a starter draft of the recommendations we intend to submit to FooMojo (by email, registered mail, and hand delivery), in the blog entitled "FooPets Business Plan", clickable to the right. Comments and suggestions can either be posted here, or on the Plan blogpage itself.
2/11/11, new material added to Business Plan subblog, right, existing material expanded, and Comments section there fixed so people can use it. (sorry…blush…i was so busy setting it up i forgot to do that to begin with)
All input is welcome – these are my thoughts, I'm sure others can refine them and add ideas that haven't occurred to me…and I will be incorporating and attempting to cover all the excellent input we have received so far in "Where Do We Go From Here", below.
Thank you all…and please…say a prayer for your faithful bird dog, on her way into the bear's den soon.
