_[Demo here](http://tinysubversions.com/stuff/very-simple-whiteboard/), requires a multitouch device and is only guaranteed to really work with a Chrome Pixel._

I like to stream myself live coding from my Chrome Pixel. When I do this, I sometimes like to tab over to a whiteboard app and draw out an explanation for what I'm coding.

I originally used one of various online whiteboard apps out there, but I found myself unsatisfied with the. Many were too complex, had lots of menus cluttering the screen, and more importantly they were _slowed down_ by their cumbersome UI. All I wanted was something that would let me have a couple sizes of pen to draw with and a quick way to switch to an eraser, save, load, and clear the screen.

So I found [this multitouch HTML Canvas drawing demo](http://www.paulirish.com/demo/multi) by [Tim Branyen](http://github.com/tbranyen), [Paul Irish](http://github.com/paulirish), [Mike Taylor](http://github.com/miketaylr), and [Boris Smus](http://github.com/borismus). I modified it to do a few different behaviors on different numbers of multitouch:

* 1-touch: draw in black
* 2-touch: erase the space in a thick line between your two fingers
* 3-touch: swipe left to clear the canvas, swipe right to save the canvas
  * You can click on a saved canvas to load it
* 4-touch: swipe left for a small pen, swipe right for a big pen

That's it. I've only tested this on the Chrome Pixel's touch screen, and it's tuned for that specific device. I've also tried it on an iPad and it kind of works but is janky and doesn't detect 3+ touches.

A Man of Great Worth and Respectability
"[He] must be a man of great worth and respectability.
Yes, he is the kindest and best of men."
-Sense & Sensibility (1995)
Wow, what a week. First David Bowie on Sunday and now we have lost one of the best actors to the same dreaded disease.
Oh Alan Rickman, how I miss you so. We are not ready for you to be gone from us.
Noo!
Alan Rickman was an outstanding actor, no matter what he played you loved him. Part was his looks:
His amazing voice:
And his ability to breathe an incredible amount of life into these roles, so much that they seemed so real.
So I decided to truly honor this great man, I'm going to countdown my top four favorite roles of his.
4) Sheriff of Nottingham from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
I know a lot of people make fun of Kevin Costner, for his lack of accent:
But I always loved this film. And one of my main reasons were because of Rickman's incredible portrayal of the Sheriff.
Rickman originally was courted twice to play this, but turned it down until they gave him full control of his character. And he does it so perfectly. Crazy, evil, ambitious, logical, and somehow hilarious.
Favorite scene:
Sheriff of Nottingham: Locksley. I'll cut your heart out with a spoon.
Robin Hood: Then it begins.
Guy of Gisborne: Why a spoon, cousin? Why not an axe?
Sheriff of Nottingham: Because it's DULL, you twit. It'll hurt more.
And being the awesomeness that he is, he went through 10 swords in that film. Just weren't strong enough for him.
3) Alexander Dane/Dr. Lazarus from Galaxy Quest
This role is from the hilarious comedy and parody of Star Trek, Galaxy Quest. 18 years ago the TV show Galaxy Quest was the hottest thing on the TV. Since then, none of the actors have been able to find much other work, being forced to be their characters for conventions, commercials, etc. One day they are transported to a real alien ship by aliens who believe their show to be "historical documents" asking for their help in fighting their enemy. They are forced to work together to save these people, in a most hilarious way.
In this film Alan Rickman's character Alexander Dane the Spockish Dr. Lazarus, is a brooding, melancholy, mess who is dissatisfied with the way his life and career have gone. Sort of like Arthur Conan Doyle hating Sherlock Holmes, Dane feels the same way about Dr. Lazarus. However, as this group has to really fight, Dane proves that he is just as herioc and amazing as his fictional counterpart.
[Quellek has been shot, and is dying. Alexander rushes to him]
Alexander Dane: Quellek? [sees Quellek's wound] That's not too bad. We'll get you to the medical quarters, and you'll be fine.
Quellek: It has been my greatest pleasure to serve with you. I have been blessed, Sir. I… I… I…
Alexander Dane: Don't speak, Quellek.
Quellek: You'll forgive my impertinence, Sir, but even though we have never before met, I have always considered you as a father to me.
Alexander Dane: Quellek… by Grabthar's hammer… by the Suns of Worvan… you shall be… avenged.
A sad scene, but one of the sweetest. He hates that line, but says it to his biggest fan; knowing he would appreciate it.

2) Professor Severus Snape from The Harry Potter Series
This is the one you are probably the most familiar with. In the Harry Potter Series, Rickman plays the crotchety Professor Snape. Truth be told, if it wasn't for Snape and Draco Malfoy I never would have become a fan of the Harry Potter Series. And if Snape wasn't played by Alan Rickman, nothing would have induced me to watch or read.
Snape is first portrayed as evil (as Harry suspects him) but in reality is one great, although tragic man. Hurt, abused, bullied and tormented as a youth, his genius unappreciated, the love of his life choosing a popular and way uncooler guy; he was drawn into the false inclusiveness of the Death Eaters. Accidentally putting into motion the death of his love, he turned his back on the Death Eaters and redeemed himself.
However, when a new threat emerges he not only helps Harry by protecting him; although anonymously and ungraciously by Harry, along with becoming a double agent to get Dumbledore his information.
Even more tragic, he is willing to take the place of Draco, protecting him and keeping him from going down a dark path he could not return; dying for him and his students.
[Snape blasts Lockhart off his feet in a practice duel]

1)Colonel Brandon from Sense and Sensibility
My favorite Alan Rickman role, and the best Colonel Brandon. This was actually the first film I ever saw Alan Rickman in, and my introduction to Jane Austen. I thank/blame Rickman for starting my life long obsession for the author. Thank you.
Colonel Brandon is one of the best Austen heroes. He has such a sad backstory, but still remains kind and good-hearted. When he was younger he fell in love with a girl, but his father broke them up. He went on to India, but she went down an awful life as she fell in love with a man who left her alone and pregnant. She died young, but Brandon took care of her child, raising it as his own. He then falls for Marianne, not caring that she had no fortune, but instead loving her mind and spirit. And even though she may not care for him, he still loves her from afar and wishes her well. When she is injured and caught in the rain, he carries her to safety. He is such a kind, generous, and one of the most amazing Austen men.
Even though some complain that Rickman was too old for the role, I don't care. No one could create a more caring, compassionate, brave, kind, strong, amazing character the way he did.
[after a reading of Spenser's The Faerie Queen]
Marianne: Shall we continue tomorrow?
Colonel Brandon: No, for I must away.
Marianne: [Worried] Away? Where?
Colonel Brandon: [Reassuring and playful] That I cannot tell you. It is a secret.
Marianne: [Pauses. Looks away, then looks back] You will not stay away long?
[Colonel Brandon can hardly believe that she cares for him. Shakes head no with smile]

So that's my countdown to one great man. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you will be missed and left us too soon.

Oh Oh De Lally
Day 25) Your Favorite Disney Classic
Robin Hood (1973)
So this is one of the best Disney films. Many have not seen it, so it remains a beloved little known classic. It is also one of the best depictions of Robin Hood ever made. You know why? Because the person they use for Robin Hood is perfect:
So just like The Great Mouse Detective this film also uses animals instead of people to tell the story, and each one was perfect for the character they are supposed to portray.
The film is told by the minstrel Alan-a-Dale, who is played by a rooster, of which is perfect because he is never quiet. He starts to tell us the story of Robin Hood who is a fox (literally and figuratively) and Little John, a bear. The two live in Sherwood Forest and rob from the rich and give to the poor. You see the people of Nottingham are not doing very well. King Richard (a lion as he was called Richard the Lionhearted) is in the Middle East fighting the crusades, and his brother John is in charge. Prince John sucks as a ruler (and sucks his thumb) and is heavily taxing the people. He leaves the dirty work to the Sheriff of Nottingham (a wolf) and his posse. The Sheriff tries to catch Robin and Little John, but fails every time.
So the film starts off with Prince John charging through the forest and stopping to get his fortune read by two Gypsy women. And those women turn out to be…you guessed it Robin and Little John. The two dressed up to rob whoever was coming through and decide to take down Prince John.
Sir Hiss tries to warn Prince John that the two can't be trusted and sure enough Prince John gets robbed blind. The guards try and chase the two and fail, fail miserably.
We then see Friar Tuck visiting the poor, such as an injured blacksmith. He tries to give him the earnings that Robin Hood won for him, but who should come along? The big, bad, wolf Sheriff. Yep
The Sheriff then goes to visit a family of rabbits, one of which is celebrating their b-day and he takes all their money, the rabbit Skippy's b-day present.
But soon a blind beggar comes on the screen who is secretly…you guessed it Robin Hood. And he makes everything better
Robin gives the rabbits some money, along with his bow and arrows, for Skippy's b-day present.
The kids scurry off to test it out, sending an arrow into Prince John's castle grounds. Luckily the group doesn't run into Prince John, but Maid Marian, Robin Hood's sweetheart (also a fox) and her lady-in-waiting, Lady Kluck (a chicken). They all play act, with Marian discussing her love for Robin and hope that he feels the same way. Lady Kluck assures her that there is no way would he forget her. After all:
Back with the boys, Robin and Little John get a visit from Friar Tuck who has told them about an archery tournament that Prince John is hosting. Prince John was enraged by how Robin embarrassed him and decided he was going to take Robin down. He knew that an archery contest would be impossible for Robin to resist. Especially if the prize was a kiss from Maid Marian.
Robin pf course can't resist, no matter what they say and decides that he is going to go. But he comes up with a crazy plan to get in:
So the two head out to the competition. Little John dresses up as the Duke of Chutney and Robin is a stork. Sir Hiss figures out who hey are, but Friar Tuck and Alan-a-Dale locks him up in a barrel of ale.
So Robin competes and of course, wins.
Robin wins, but Prince John unmasks him and is about to execute him when he has a sudden change of heart. He wants to let Robin go.
It turns out that Little John is holding him at knifepoint, only to be caught by the Sheriff. What follows is craziness, chaos, and comedy. 🙂
So the group hurries off to the forest where they have a great time making fun of Prince John.
Robin and Marian also fall in love again.
But while that is going good, back in the castle trouble is brewing. Prince John is angry. He decides he is going to heavily tax the people, taking everything. When he takes the poor box from the church, Friar Tuck becomes so enraged that he starts fighting the sheriff.
Them's fighting words!
The Sheriff arrests him and they decide to hang Friar Tuck to capture Robin Hood. I don't know why but my sis and I would randomly say this all the time in his accent. "Hang Friar Tuck?"
Anyways, so this is when we get spend some time with Sheriff's minions, Trigger and Nutsy. It's hilarious. I love how Nutsy announces every hour and says "All's well!".
Robin decides that he is going to do a jailbreak and steal all the money.
Everyone escapes, except Robin as he went back to save a baby and missed getting out. Him and Prince John have a fight in which he manages to escape, but causes the castle to burn. Robin leaps from a tower into the moat below, all the while being pelted by arrows. Little John and Skippy watch and think he is dead, only to see him emerge unharmed after using a reed as a breathing tube. King Richard returns to England, placing his brother and his cohorts under arrest and allows Robin and Maid Marian to be married and leave Nottingham with Little John and Skippy in tow.
Love that movie!

At the End of the Rainbow: 17 More Irish Heroes
Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
"Those Irish men and women…[who's] rich vitality and culture they brought with them. Britain, the U.S. and many commonwealth countries are richer for their presence." –Tony Blair
So I picked seventeen of my favorite Irish characters from film, TV, and books. I had to get a little more creative as I used up a lot of my all time favs last year. Next year I might have to do only seven. So they mostly turned out to be cops, but I swear I didn't plan that, it just kinda happened. Hope you enjoy! 🙂
17) Irish National Quidditch Team from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Harry Potter is about to start his fourth year at Hogwarts, but before the term starts he will be joining the Weasleys and Hermione Granger at the Quidditch World Cup to see Ireland vs. Bulgaria. While there, Voldemort's followers come and fire the Dark Mark into the sky, signaling that Voldemort will return soon. At Hogwarts, they are hosting the Triwizard Tournament, however, only those over 17 will be allowed to enter. The Goblet of Fire ends up choosing Fleur Delacour, Viktor Krum, and Cedric Diggory to compete in the tournament. But to everyone's surprise, the cup chooses a fourth name, Harry Potter. The four compete in many tasks, surmounting in the final course, conquering a maze. There they discover that the Champion cup is a Portkey that takes them to Voldemort and allows him to begin his evil plan.
Why they are awesome:
First of all, let me just say that I LOVED this book. The movie was so-so, but the book was amazing. Anyways, so the Irish Quidditch team is super cool. They were up against Krum, who is pretty tough, the Bulgarian Veela and still managed to make it out on top. They didn't catch the snitch but were able to still win with a score of 170-160. Pretty sweet.

16) Greta Conroy from The Dead
The Dead is by James Joyce and about an Irish family and friends celebrating Epiphany. Three spinsters, Aunt Julia, Aunt Kate, and Mary Jane are hosting a party. Gabriel, the nephew and one of the main characters, attends the party with his wife Greta but rejects his Irishness, wanting to be more British and his ideas clash with the others at the party.
Why Greta is Awesome:
Greta is awesome because she has to put up with a lot having a husband like Gabriel. He doesn't want to visit West Ireland were she is from, tries to force all these modern ideas upon her and the family; etc. But Greta, while she compromises at times, as that is crucial to every relationship, she doesn't always give in. She sticks to her guns if it is something she really cares about. Greta also lost the boy she loved when she was young, and has persevered through that pain all the years. She married and move on with her life, no one ever knowing about the travesty in her past. A real warrior, she is.
15) Freddy Malins from The Dead
The Dead is by James Joyce and about an Irish family and friends celebrating Epiphany. Three spinsters, Aunt Julia, Aunt Kate, and Mary Jane are hosting a party. Gabriel, the nephew and one of the main character, attends the party with his wife Greta but rejects his Irishness, wanting to be more British and his ideas clash with the others at the party.
Why Freddy is Awesome:
Now when we are first presented Freddy, he seems like the fullfillment of the Irish stereotype. He is slovenly and drunk, but as we see more of him, you find out that there is much more to him then meets the eye. (Plus his mom is always ragging on him and saying he is a horrible, stupid person. I think she would drive anyone to drink.) Joyce purposely had Freddy be the stereotype, so that when he revealed more of who he was it would make you refrain from making rash judgements and make his character of being kind and caring even more surprising. When Aunt Julia, retired singer, performs and doesn't do that well, he immediately jumps up and compliments her. When everyone is saying bad things about the Irish opera singers and such, he pips up and not only praises them but the African-American singer. Kudos to Freddy always speaking his mind and being adorable.
14) Gerald O'Hara from Gone With the Wind
Gone With the Wind, by Margaret Mitchell, is the story of a Southern family that goes through some radical changes from the Antebellum period, to the Civil War, and the Reconstruction era. At the heart of all this chaos is the story of the beautiful, ruthless Scarlett 'O' Hara and the dashing soldier of fortune, Rhett Butler.
Why Mr. O'Hara is awesome:
Now I know a lot of people hate this movie, but trust me the book is much better. You really get a better sense of the characters and really understand their motivations and what in the past made them who they are.
So in the movie we don't get much of the dad. We see a bit of him in the beginning and then when he goes crazy from grief and loss of his wife. But in the book he was pretty cool. Back in Ireland he was a part of a Catholic Emancipation group, like the Ribbonmen or such. He has to flee Ireland because of his illegal activities. He comes over to America who works with his brother in his store, but decides that he wants to have more. He wants to be one of higher position and actually does it. Pretty sweet for any immigrant. He wins the plantation in a poker game and builds it up, creating a vast fortune. He tries to marry, but isn't completely ingrained in Southern society. They like him but don't "know his family", you know how people were. So he goes back to his brother so that he can find someone, and falls for the beautiful Ellen, from a very old, established family. Everyone tells him he's stupid for thinking that he could ever win her heart, but he does. (Her heart being broken from her cousin does help the situation). O'Hara is pretty cool; political activist sticking it to the man, self-made millionaire, and won the heart of the prom queen equivalent; daddy O'Hara is one amazing guy.

13) Michael Hagarty from "Widow, Weep for Me" Murder She Wrote
Jessica Fletcher goes undercover at a Caribbean resort to discover who murdered her friend. When she gets there she finds sand, sun, and plenty of suspects.
Why Michael is Awesome:
Michael is an ex-MI5 agent and has a colorful past. He is debonair, great in a crisis, handsome, and has an amazing accent. 🙂 He is a great character that helps Jessica catch the real killer. He's the type of guy you'd always want on your side (crack shot, safe cracker, etc) and to date. It's the accent and lethal skills. 😉
12) Lily the maid from The Dead
The Dead is by James Joyce and about an Irish family and friends celebrating Epiphany. Three spinsters, Aunt Julia, Aunt Kate, and Mary Jane are hosting the party. Gabriel, the nephew and one of the main character, rejects his Irishness and clashes with others at the party.
Why Lily is Awesome:
We only get a small glimpse of Lily in the book and film, but what we see of her is awesome. Lily is a modern woman, not one to be subservient in spirit. The aunts are starting to dislike her as she is no longer as malleable as she was, but more opinionated. Besides, I love her snarky remark when Gabriel suggests that she will be marrying soon; "the men that is now is only all palaver and what they can get out of you." Gabriel is shocked at her for saying such things, but Lily just tells it like it is.
11) Connor McGuire from A Passion Most Pure
Connor McGuire is a total bad boy. After his father died, Connor turned away from the life he was living only focusing on himself and pleasure. He goes after Charity O' Connor, but finds himself falling for her older sister Faith, even though he doesn't agree with her faith. Connor finds his life being changed by the O'Connor clan, Faith and WWI.
Why Connor is awesome:
While originally Connor was a class A jerk, (on par with Glenn from The Wedding Singer) later on he changes his life and becomes an extremely endearing man. Faith and his war buddy Brady's faith really infect Connor and makes him reevaluate his life. He becomes a better person, adding to his attractiveness. When he reenters Faith's life, instead of trying to freak her out or hurt her, like before, he only cares about making her happy. He knows that she is getting married, and keeps his distance from her, only caring for her happiness. Of course, in the end, the two get together as they are perfect for each other.
10)Shawn Spencer from Psych
Shawn Spencer has been trained by his dad to cultivate his photographic memory to become super observant, analytical, etc; all in his efforts to create the perfect cop. However, Shawn resists his father and rebels against him. Eventually to escape being imprisoned for knowing too much about recent crimes and figuring out who the perpetrator's are, he lies to the Santa Barbara Police Department, saying he is a psychic. He then finds himself working alongside the cops; particularly head detective, Carlton Lassitar, and his partner Juliet O'Hara.
Why Shawn is awesome:
Shawn can be a jerk, childish, selfish, and a bit whiney at times; but all in all he is one pretty cool guy. He may be a goofball, but he is also highly intelligent, passing the detective test 100% at age 15, often feeling that things are too easy for him. He has great taste in films and music, making all these references that I absolutely adore. While he often uses Gus; his money, car, etc; he cares for his friend and would do anything for him. He cares for all his friends helping Lassiter when he was in a crime-solving slump and thought to have committed murder, Chief Vick from being fired, etc. As the series progresses, Shawn matures; refraining from his previous extreme narcissistic tendencies. He and Juliet start dating in the last few seasons, this relationship really changing his childish ways, but not too much, as Juliet's level-head and stable life works really well with Shawn.
9) Billy Costigan from The Departed
The Departed is a great film that gives a dual view of one main event. Colin Sullivan has been raised by mobster Frank Costello, and is a mole for him in the Massachusetts State Police's organized crime unit. Billy Costigan comes from a criminal background, but instead of graduating from the academy and going into law enforcement he gets placed undercover to figure out who is the rat is and bring him down. The two start living similar lives as they both start a relationship with the same psychiatrist and both become heavily stressed as they get closer to finding out who the rats are.
Why Billy is awesome:
Billy sacrifices himself as a mole for the department. That's a huge risk to take, working for the underlords, having to play a role 24/7, no one ever knowing who you are or the good you are doing, etc. Plus he really kicks butt when he takes out guys as his cover. I mean imagine the pressure he is under and how awful it would be. And he is so patriotic, how he gave his life over because he believed it was better to do it this way. Plus he tries to kill Matt Damon, and anyone who does that is AWESOME! I hate Matt Damon, go to number 3 to read why.
8) Scarlett O'Hara from Gone With the Wind
Gone With the Wind, by Margaret Mitchell, is the story of a Southern family that goes through some radical changes from the Antebelluem period, to the Civil War, and the Reconstruction era. At the heart of all this chaos is the story of the beautiful, ruthless Scarlett 'O' Hara and the dashing soldier of fortune, Rhett Butler.
Why Scarlett is awesome:
Okay so I know, I know people really hate her. She is horrible and does some horrifying things in the film, but the book is much, much, much, much, better. Trust me the book was awesome I recommend reading it. (Just FYI there will be posts on some of my favorite quotes from this book. I don't know when, but they will be a-coming.)
So Scarlett has a bunch of bad qualities, yes its true. She is selfish, a man stealer, a horrible mother, cruel, and stuck in the past. She does ruin her relationship with Rhett because she is so hung up on stupid Ashley. I thoroughly recommend this book for anyone who just ended a relationship, as it shows you why you must move on!
However, she is a pretty cool character with a lot of good qualities. Okay so Scarlett is a Southern women in the Antebellum period and has very little schooling. In fact she has very little worth or path in life other than to marry and have children. But Scarlett doesn't follow that path. She lives her own life and does her own thing, not because she wants to, but because there is no one else to; so takes it upon her self to get things done. She works the land, runs the plantation, pretty much becomes the head of the household. It's all on her to make sure everyone has food. Then a Union deserter comes around and she takes him out. She uses the gun that Rhett gave her and makes sure that her family and womanhood is safe. She does steal her sister's passive and simple beau, but whips him into shape, making him and her family sucessful. She also operates a lumber mill, while not being the most highly educated, still having a brain for numbers. Now everyone tells her she isn't being a lady, running businesses and doing better than her husband. Everyone tries to convince her to stop, but she keeps on doing it. Power to you!!! Here is a woman who is doing whatever she wants, what makes her feel strong; even it it means going against society. She continues to be this strong, forceful woman throughout the rest of the novel; even though she does make a lot of bad decisions. Still, for a woman in the 1800s to have her own business, earn her own money, choose who she will marry (several times), is pretty awesome!
7) Seamus McFly from Back to the Future: Part III
So 1985 Doc has been sent back to the Wild West, and its up to 1955 Doc to send Marty back so that he can save him. While there, Marty meets his newly immigrated family and discovers that Doc doesn't want to return to the '80s but enjoys living in the West. However, after discovering that Mad Dog Tannen (Biff's grandfather) is out to kill him Doc agrees to return with Marty, that is until a pretty young teacher catches his eye. Then Mad Dog decides that he will switch his vendetta to Marty. Now both are in a dilemma.
Why Seamus is awesome:
So this is the second year in which a Back to the Future character and a Michael J. Fox character has made it onto the Saint Patrick's Day countdown. Let's given them a big round of applause! Now back to business.
First of all he is played by Michael J. Fox. Instant Win. Anyways, Seamus is Marty's great-great grandfather, newly Irish immigrants. He discovers Marty, after he was chased by Native Americans and fell. Even though he doesn't know him, and his wife says that he should've left him, Seamus helps him because he believes it is the right thing to do. Seamus is awesome, because even though he is bullied and harrassed by the Tannen's he ignores it. Now that takes a lot of self-control and patience and fortitude to just ignore it and keep going. To be able to walk away from a fight because you know the issue is not that big a deal, that'd you'd rather not die over a silly argument. He became this way after his brother Martin, Marty's namesake, was provoked and killed in a knife fight. His wisdom and positivity teaches Msarty to control himself as well, and helps make his future better.

6) Maggie McKendrick from The Parent Trap (1961)
Sharon is traveling to camp from California. She meets Susan from Boston. This wouldn't be unusual except for the fact that they look exactly alike. That's right, Sharon and Susan are twins, separated after their parents divorced, each getting one to take home with them. The two become friends and decide to switch places in order to get to know the other parent and reunite their parents. Unfortunately, a lot has changed while Sharon was away. Her father met someone and is engaged! Now the girls are trying to reformulate their plan to break up her dad and his fiancé, and get the mom to CA and back with the dad.
Why Maggie is awesome:
So if you haven't guessed this is the original, and while I like the remake, this one is just so amazing. First of all it has Maureen O'Hara. I just love her!
Anyways, Maggie is super cool. When Sharon (pretending to be Susan) comes home with pieced ears and short hair, she doesn't freak out, or get angry, but instead praises her daughter and supports her decisions. Not only does she approve, but tells her she looks wonderful. When she discovers that her ex-husband, and love, is going to throw his life away on a vapid, horrible, cruel gold-digger; she goes out there and fights for her daughters and her man. And instead of being mean or bitter; she just acts her beautiful nice self; winning everyone over. The fam is going to go on a camping trip and Vicky gets jealous about Mitch and Maggie spending time together, Maggie steps aside; not only because she knows Vicky will reveal her true colors, but because she is the bigger person. She's just a sweet, considerate, kind, and a bit edgy person; someone you can't help but love.

5)Faith O'Connor from A Passion Most Pure (Different Synopsis from the one before)
Faith O'Connor has only ever loved one man, Connor McGuire, who after his father's death drastically changed and is no longer the man he once was. Faith finds comfort in her faith, and keeps praying and loving him silently. Faith and her sister Charity have always been rivals and now Connor is courting her sister while at the same time making a play for Faith. This story spans from Boston to Europe as the beginning of WWI changes everything.
Why Faith is awesome:
Faith is amazing. She recovered from polio and her twin sister's death. She has to contend with her younger sister being prettier and attracting all the beaus, with little Faithy always bullied and left in the dust. But even through all this she continues to pray and show her love for others. She is never mean, bitter, harsh, or cruel to anyone; even to her sister, who steals both of the men she loves; Conner and her fiancé, Mitch. Instead Faith just tries to be kind and care for everyone.
4) Juliet "Jules" O'Hara from Psych
Psych is about a super observant man, Shawn Spencer, who pretends to be a psychic for the Santa Barbara Police Department. His pharmacist friend, Burton Guster, assists him and the two work with head detective Carlton Lassiter and his partner Juliet O'Hara.
Why Jules is awesome:
You might recognize her from the DCOM Model Behavior (one of two people on this list who have been in DCOMs). Jules is the young police officer who moves from Miami to Santa Barbara when Carlton Lassitar's old partner is transferred. Jules may be a very pretty, bubbly, sweet, rainbow-sunshine kind of girl; but she is not just bubbles and fizz, but is a very deep and intelligent person. She has scored the highest on the detective test (second to photographic memory Shawn), beating Carlton Lassitar. She also is fluent in Spanish, due to her time in Miami. While she is gentle and sweet, she can be gruff and unmoving when she needs to be; holding her own and not allowing anyone to walk over her. She and Shawn Spencer end up getting together and her stability and his goofiness work well together.
3) Staff Sergeant Dignam from The Departed
Mark Wahlberg is the second person on this list to make a return from last year, read it to see my thoughts on The Fighter.
The Departed is a great film that gives a dual view of one main event. Colin Sullivan has been raised by mobster Frank Costello, and is a mole for him in the Massachusetts State Police's organized crime unit. Billy Costigan comes from a criminal background, but instead of graduating from the academy and going into law enforcement, he gets placed undercover to figure out who is the rat is and bring him down. The two start living similar lives as they both start a relationship with the same psychiatrist and both become heavily stressed as they get closer to finding out who the rats are.
Why Staff Sgt. Dignam is awesome:
Like I mentioned in A Horse's Tale, I can tolerate very few Matt Damon films. However, I absolutely love Mark Wahlberg, he's just so attractive! Anyways, Mark Dignam is the one in charge of the undercover unit, and one of two who knows that Billy is the department's rat. He is a great cop who really cares about ending the crime in the area, and about the people in his unit. When Colin starts messing with his investigation and wants names, instead of giving in Dignam just takes a leave of absence, disappearing rather than reveal who his person is. However, the best thing about Dignam, besides the fact that he is Mark Wahlberg, he takes out Matt Damon! 😀
2)Kevin "Corky" Corcoran from Copper
Copper is about the NYPD in the mid 19th century. New York is a crazy place with the Civil War going on bringing tension between Southerners and Northerners; the racial clashes between "Americans", "White" Europeans, Irish, and African-Americans. Corky is one of the "coppers" trying to keep the notorious Five Points in line with its murders, thievery, prostitution, opium trade, etc.
Why Corky is awesome:
Now Corky isn't perfect, but he is one pretty awesome (and Hot!) guy. Corky, while having faults and vices, is one pretty honorable person who tries to be just and fair, caring for all in his community. He tries to save a child prostitute from her slavery; love and be true to his wife, even when she cheated on him and killed their child; one of the few men who is not a racist, not only respecting Dr. Freeman, but becoming really good friends with him. He makes sure prostitutes are not mistreated, people are not unjustly thrown in prison, women are not accosted by their landlords, and those that break the law, hurt others, molest/rape children get what's coming to them. That's another thing that makes Corky so amazing (and sexy!) is that he not only a honorable man, but one of action who goes out and takes care of things.
1) Carlton "Lassie" Lassiter from Psych
Why Lassie is awesome:
Now I have a huge TV crush on Carlton Lassiter, its a little hard not to. He is pretty awesome (although tightly wound). Now some of you may recognize him as the evil leprechaun from the DCOM Luck of the Irish, for more on that check out last year's post. However, as Lassie, Carlton is far from evil. Carlton is a strictly by the book kind of guy; SB law, the Constitution, NRA, etc. He is a great cop, a bit old fashioned, but stubborn, persistent, etc. While he can be pigheaded, truth be told it would be hard dealing with Shawn all the time. He is a huge Clint Eastwood fan, wishing he could be Dirty Harry or Tom Highway. He also loves Westerns and wants to be a modern day cowboy. He is a huge Civil War history buff and takes part in reenactments. He knows how to shot like every type of gun and has built up a immunity to chloroform. However, the best thing about him is how strongly he throws himself into relationships. He does everything he can to try and work things out with his ex-wife (really not wanting to get a divorce). True he did cheat on her with his old partner, but they had been separated for quite some time and she was porking around with someone else. (Doesn't make it right but it is understandable). However, the best thing was when his gf was arrested and imprisoned (she stole blood from a blood bank for her sick brother), he went and visited her every time he was allowed to. Nothing kept him from being there or true to her. He also did everything he could to free her from the jail. So sweet! 🙂
So Happy Saint Patrick's Day! I know I'll be wearing green, just so no stupid kids try and pinch me. And watching this movie like I do every year.
But I hope you all have a wonderful day in however you celebrate it.

Some of the Best Lines Ever!
Now we all have film quotes we like to say over and over.
And one of my personal favorites is:
Hands down this is one of the best lines in the entire film. And every time you repeat them, you know you have to do them in his accent.
I just love him and this movie so much.
AFI has a list of the best movie lines, but I think I should create my own.
If I do, this would most definitely be on it.

Poor 102! But of COURSE he'd wind you up like that! Maybe it's just the loneliness sinking in that says anyone will do.
I have tried to give him a name but it just doesn't fit.
he is a disaster every time he goes near it!!!
102 trying to grind your gears by only chasing men!
I'm so excited to see how his file progresses. Also congrats on the abduction and first alien baby!

Home News Inquest continues into death of Katrina O'Hara
Inquest continues into death of Katrina O'Hara
Vicky Richardson
Manager, Civil Liberties
The jury inquest into the death of murdered hairdresser, Katrina O'Hara, is continuing at Bournemouth Town Hall. Victoria Richardson and Alexandra Eldon of Hudgell Solicitors are acting on behalf of the family.
Katrina, 44, was murdered by Stuart Thomas on 7 January 2016 at her hair salon in Blandford Forum, Dorset. Thomas was later convicted of her murder and sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 26 years in August 2016.
On Tuesday the coroner, Mr Brendan Allen, heard from police Sargeant Adam Aggas who had contact with Katrina in the run up to her death. According to a BBC News report, Sgt Aggas said an assessment of the risk Thomas posed was first made on 10 November 2015 after officers were called to reports of a fight between Katrina and Thomas.
He went on to give evidence that Katrina had suffered injuries to her lip and elbow after being thrown to the floor, but did not want the police to investigate. However, she made an allegation of harassment against Thomas seven days later.
Sgt Aggas said this was not immediately followed up as she was being treated as a suspect for criminal damage and assault against Thomas in relation to the previous incident – accusations later dropped.
The court heard Ms O'Hara's son called police on 30 December saying he was concerned Thomas was suicidal and posed a risk to his mother.
Sgt Aggas talked about how he visited Katrina, who told him Thomas had said: "I am going to kill us both – I am going to drive us into a tree."
The coroner asked Sgt Aggas if he felt Thomas's perceived risk level should have been higher earlier, he replied: "It was impossible to say what the risk was… the risk increased over the Christmas period."
The inquest continues and the coroner will hear from several witnesses including Katrina's 20-year-old daughter Morgan O'Hara.
Prior to the inquest opening on Monday, Katrina's family issued a statement via Hudgells in which they urged people experiencing domestic violence to '…speak out and seek help'.
The inquest is listed for four weeks.
Hudgell Solicitors have instructed Chris Williams of Garden Court Chambers.

12 Idols Who Left SM Entertainment, And What They're Doing Now
These idols have left SM but are finding success with other activities.
These idols all left SM Entertainment, for various reasons, but have continued on to massive success! Let's see what they have been up to since their departure from one of the largest entertainment companies in South Korea.
1. Kris (Former EXO member)
Kris left SM Entertainment in 2014, sparking massive controversy with his lawsuit against the company, citing health and financial reasons to terminate his contract.
He headed back to his home country of China and promoted as a singer, model, and actor, achieving massive success. He is now one of the hottest Chinese actors and musicians, known around the world for his roles in Mr. Six and Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back, which are among the highest-grossing Chinese films of all time. He is also active in the US and Canada, having made his Hollywood debut in xXx: Return of Xander Cage in 2017. He owns his own entertainment company and continues to make music in the US.
In 2017 he spoke about his decision to leave SM Entertainment, saying it was due to a lack of freedom to create his own music and the stress of being away from his family for seven years.
2. Hangeng (Former Super Junior member)
Hangeng, who was a member of Super Junior and the leader of Super Junior-M, left both groups when he sued SM Entertainment in 2009 for termination of his contract. He revealed later that he'd done this because he wanted to pursue acting and SM Entertainment wasn't flexible. He told a Chinese talk show: "The agency controls your image and won't let you do the things you want. An idol must put the agency and the group ahead of himself."
He's been promoting as a singer and actor in China ever since and has gained international success with solo albums and movies alike. In 2014, he had a cameo role in Transformers: Age of Extinction. He also has a fixed spot on the Chinese variety show Street Dance of China.
3. Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Xia (Former TVXQ! members)
In a very well-known and publicized lawsuit, three members of the then-five-member TVXQ! sued SM Entertainment for unfair contract terms in 2009. The suit was settled in 2012, but by then the three had already moved on under C-JeS Entertainment as JYJ.
Each of their albums released between 2010 and 2013 reached number one on the charts. The three also had acting success, with Yoochun becoming the lead in dramas like Rooftop Prince and Xia (aka Kim Junsu) becoming especially popular in musical theater. Xia also became an OST legend, appearing in Scent of A Woman as himself.
Jaejoong transitioned so well into acting he won the Top Excellence Actor Award for Triangle at the 2014 Korean Drama Awards.
Meanwhile, they also had successful solo music careers, with Jaejoong releasing solo hits between 2014 and 2016. Yoochun's rape scandal in 2016 paused his promotional activities but, after he was cleared of all charges and finished military service, he returned to promoting.
Xia is on hiatus as he is currently serving in the military.
4. Luhan (Former EXO member)
In October 2014, Luhan filed a lawsuit to terminate his contract, following in Kris's footsteps. He called out the continued mistreatment of EXO's Chinese members compared to the Korean members and also cited his deteriorating health (and SM Entertainment's lack of care) as reasons for his termination. He was in charge of stunts for the group and appeared on many physically-exerting variety shows at the request of SM Entertainment, frequently injuring himself while promoting and performing with EXO.
Lu Han, as he is now known in China, has acted in several films and dramas since leaving the group. He has also released a studio album and four EPs that have sold more than 5 million copies.
He made a massive drama debut in 2017 with Fighter of the Destiny and Sweet Combat. He stars in the latter alongside his real-life girlfriend, Chinese actress Gabrielle Guan (Guan Xiao Tong).
5. Jessica (Former Girls' Generation member)
Jessica's public announcement that she was leaving Girls' Generation shocked fans in 2014, but she wanted to pursue other activities like starting a business or getting married.
Jessica now owns her own fashion label, BLANC & ECLARE, and opened her first store in New York in 2016. That same year, she signed with Coridel Entertainment and released her debut solo album, With Love, J. She's since released two more albums to great success and appeared in My Other Home in 2017, a Chinese-American sports biographical starring American basketball player Stephon Marbury.
6. Girls' Generation's Seohyun, Tiffany, and Sooyoung
In late 2017, Seohyun, Tiffany, and Sooyoung announced they would not renew their contracts with SM Entertainment, but fans were assured this didn't mean that Girls' Generation was disbanding.
Sooyoung and Seohyun decided to pursue solo ventures, while Tiffany wanted to go back to the US and study again. She is currently in LA attending acting classes. She recently released the music video for her first US single "Over My Skin."
Sooyoung has been acting on and off since about 2008 but, since leaving SM she has been seriously pursing it and was cast in Man Who Sets The Table and People You May Know.
Seohyun starred in the MBC drama Time and continues to sing. She performed in North Korea with the Samjiyon Orchestra.
7. Tao (Former EXO member)
In August of 2015, Tao filed to terminate his contract, the third Chinese member of EXO to leave SM Entertainment. Like Kris and Luhan before him, Tao felt that SM Entertainment's strict policies didn't allow him to pursue his dream of branching out.
Now known by his full name with a successful acting and music career in China, Huang Zitao has appeared in movies like You are my Sunshine, Railroad Tigers, and The Edge of Innocence. Zitao also starred in the just-aired romantic drama The Negotiator, which was a massive hit.
He has released a number of EPs and a studio album under the name Z.Tao. His most recent single, released in October 2018, is called "KOC".
8. Super Junior-M's Henry
It was just announced that Henry has decided to leave SM Entertainment after 10 years, now that his contract is expiring. He wants to start his own one-man entertainment agency and will leave the company on good terms.
The singer has already ventured into other businesses in pursuit of his other passions, having opened a restaurant in Gangnam earlier this year.

Here's Why Everyone Is Convinced BLACKPINK's Rosé Is A Real Elf


I am often asked by customers why the paint in their bathroom is peeling and how to fix the problem. This is a common problem that occurs where there is excessive moisture. Besides being an eye sore if the problem is not fixed it can turn into a disaster. Moisture that is allowed to penetrate into the drywall will lead to decay and mold growth. Besides being an unsightly problem this can also become a health concern because of the mold.
The goal is to reduce or eliminate moisture accumulation. When using the shower make sure the fan is on and allow it to run for a bit after your shower. If you don't have a fan consider having one installed. If that is not an option, open a window while showering and maybe leave the door open as well. Moisture is the cause of 90% of peeling bathroom paint.
To begin the repair you want to start with a dry ceiling or wall. If it is dry to the touch, start by scraping away all the loose paint and drywall (if it has gotten that far). If the surface appears wet as you scrape at it go ahead and continue to open up the area to allow it to dry. After you have removed all the loose paint/drywall, the area needs to dry. Consider putting a fan in the room to speed up the process.
If the problem is limited to peeling paint and/or slightly damaged drywall we can move to the next step after it dries. If the drywall is damaged to the point of needing to be cut out and replaced then that is the next step. I will assume that replacement is not necessary.
Make a diluted solution of bleach to water ( a couple table spoons to a sprayer bottle). Spray the peeling area evenly making sure it gets wet. You want the area to dry prior to spraying it with the bleach water so that the solution will get drawn into the wall or ceiling. The bleach will kill the mold. It can be there even if you don't see it. Allow this to dry. Lightly sand the area with 100 to 120 grit sandpaper. If necessary you can skim a small amount of drywall mud over the area to even it out. Sand that when dry.
Now you want to seal the area. Use an alkyd sealer. Cover stain or Kilz is a good choice. You can then paint the area with your topcoat. Consider using a paint with some sheen, eggshell or semigloss. This will help. You may also consider using a paint designed for bathrooms. These often have a mildewcide in them. You can add a mildewcide to almost any paint as well. You can purchase the mildewcide at the paint store and have them shake it into the paint for you. Peeling bathroom paint is a common problem but it is one that is easy to fix.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced new measures to protect youth by preventing access to flavoured tobacco products and banning menthol in cigarettes. This will include a ban on fruit and candy-flavoured e-cigarettes sold in convenience stores and gas stations.
E-cigarette makers, such as Juul Labs, have targeted youth with their marketing tactics. Juul has reportedly captured 75 percent of the e-cigarette market in the US and is popular among young people who are now promoting it themselves, via social media.
E-cigarette use poses serious risks to the health of young people. A 2016 Surgeon General's reportconcluded that youth use of nicotine in any form, including e-cigarettes, is unsafe, can cause addiction and can harm the developing adolescent brain. Some of the harmful ingredients in e-cigarettes include ultrafine particles that can be inhaled deep into the lungs, flavourants such as diacetyl, a chemical linked to serious lung disease, and heavy metals such as nickel, tin and lead. Another harmful effect of using e-cigarettes is the 'wet lung' effect.
New data being released today by the CDC and the FDA underscores that youth e-cigarette use has reached epidemic levels and that flavors are a critical factor – including the menthol and mint flavors.
A statement from the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids (CTFK) said, the FDA's actions on e-cigarettes are a step forward but do not go far enough. It stops short of banning the flavors that have made e-cigarettes so popular with kids. They say, the FDA should stop sales of all flavored e-cigarette products that have not been subject to public health review by the agency and enforce rules prohibiting the sale of new or changed products without prior FDA review. By enforcing this pre-market review requirement, the FDA can prevent manufacturers from continuing to introduce products that appeal to kids.
According to a Reuters report, Juul is actively expanding to Asian countries such as Indonesia, India, South Korea and the Philippines. Expansion into Asia would provide the fast-growing firm with new markets at a time when it faces increased regulatory scrutiny in the United States. For now Juul, valued at $16 billion, is available only in the United States, Canada, the UK and Israel. One Juul pod contains as much nicotine as a traditional pack of 20 cigarettes.
According to Reuters, e-cigarettes have been available in Indonesia since 2013 and are a small, but growing market. The Indonesian customs estimate there are about 300 unsupervised liquid makers in Indonesia, producing various liquid products to more than 4,000 vape stores and 900,000 smokers.
Juul is exploring sales in Indonesia and has filed trademark applications in Malaysia and Singapore, and opened its first Asia office in Singapore in July.
The day the FDA announced its restrictions on flavouring and e-cigarettes in the US, a different tune was heard in Manila – the e-cigarette proponents was pushing their harm reduction message to Asia. The second Asia Harm Reduction Forum was strategically held in the Philippines while legislators are drawing up laws on e-cigarettes. The keynote Speech was delivered by Congressman Anthony M. Bravo, a proponent of e-cigarettes, while another supporter, Congressman Rodel Batocabe was a panel speaker. See Table 1 for AHRF speakers.
Dr. Amaliya from Indonesia was quoted to have said, say, "The 'quit or die' approach in Indonesia does not work for some smokers. This is rather odd for quitting is not a health priority in Indonesia, which remain tobacco friendly with about 65 million smokers, and cheap cigarettes which are freely available.
Dr. Marewa Glover, from New Zealand is heading up an initiative funded by the Foundation for Smoke Free World, which is funded by Philip Morris International.
Four countries in the ASEAN region, Brunei, Cambodia, Singapore and Thailand, have banned electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes). Elsewhere about 30 countries have either banned or restricted e-cigarettes.
According to the WHO, there are clear health risks related to ENDS use and secondhand exposure to nicotine and various toxicants, and there is insufficient evidence of ENDS as effective cessation devices.

CAIRO – 17 October 2017: Project contracts of Hamrawein 6,000MW coal-fired power plant are expected to be signed by mid-2018, with operations to start five-six years later, Minister of Electricity Mohamed Shaker told Egypt Today Monday.
International consultant of the project, Belgian Tractebel Engineering Consultancy, is still studying the offers made by bidders, Shaker said, adding that three international consortiums have submitted bids for the project, which costs between $5.5-6 billion in total.
The consortiums include Shanghai Electric and Dong Fang Electric consortium, and a Japanese-American consortium led by General Electric (GE) and a consortium of Japanese companies led by Mitsubishi-Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS).
Speaking at an event organized by the British Egyptian Business Association (BEBA) Monday to review latest developments of the electricity sector, hosting Shaker as a keynote speaker, the minister highlighted that the project's construction is expected to take from five to six years, with each phase of the plant to enter operations at 2,000MW.
"The project's consultants asked the three bidders to amend some terms of their offers and they have re-submitted the bids," Shaker added.
In June, nine local banks announced intentions to fund $1.5 billion in loans to the project's construction, including Commercial International Bank (CIB), Qatar National Bank (QNB) Al-Ahli, the Arab African International Bank (AAIB) and others.
The project is planned under the Electricity Ministry's 2022-2027 program on EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) + Finance basis.
Egypt is lowest country in terms of electricity prices: Min.

Q: Django model class methods for predefined values I'm working on some Django-code that has a model like this:
class Status(models.Model):
    code = models.IntegerField()
    text = models.CharField(maxlength=255)

There are about 10 pre-defined code/text-pairs that are stored in the database. Scattered around the codebase I see code like this:
status = Status.objects.get(code=0) # successful
status = Status.objects.get(code=1) # failed

I would rather have a method for each so that the code would look something like this instead:
status = Status.successful()
status = Status.failed()
etc...

Is this possible? I have looked in to the Manager-stuff but I haven't really found a way. Is it time to really RTFM?
In Java it would be a static method and in Ruby you would just define a method on self, but it's not that easy in Python, is it?

A: You should perhaps implement this by defining a custom manager for your class, and adding two manager methods on that manager (which I believe is the preferred way for adding table-level functionality for any model). However, another way of doing it is by throwing in two class methods on your class that query and return resulting objects, such as:
class Status(models.Model):
    code = models.IntegerField()
    text = models.CharField(maxlength=255)

    @classmethod
    def successful(cls):
        return cls.objects.get(code=0)

    @classmethod
    def failed(cls):
        return cls.objects.get(code=1)

Do note please that get() is likely to throw different exceptions, such as Status.DoesNotExist and MultipleObjectsReturned.
And for an example implementation of how to do the same thing using Django managers, you could do something like this:
class StatusManager(models.Manager):
    def successful(self):
        return self.get(code=1)

    def failed(self):
        return self.get(code=0)

class Status(models.Model):
    code = models.IntegerField()
    text = models.CharField(maxlength=255)

    objects = StatusManager()

Where, you could do Status.objects.successful() and Status.objects.failed() to get what you desire.

In memoriam: Robert Schulman, professor emeritus with the Department of Statistics

Robert Schulman. Photo courtesy of the Schulman family.
Robert "Bob" Schulman, a professor emeritus in the Department of Statistics and a member of the Virginia Tech community since 1974, died April 27, 2021, after a brave six-month journey with lung cancer. He was 74.
During his 30-plus year career at Virginia Tech, Schulman directed the Statistical Consulting Center and gave statistical advice to and aided the research of more than 300 faculty and graduate students, the latter as director of the department's universitywide consulting program. He also led new teaching efforts in such courses as Statistics for Social Sciences, Statistics in Research, Measures of Association, and Inference Fundamentals with Applications to Categorical Data, and held offices in both local and national statistical organizations.
As a researcher, he authored or co-authored dozens of published papers, many involving topics outside of statistics, including accounting, agriculture, business administration, computer science, education, engineering, finance, forestry, human behavior, marketing, nutrition, operations research, political science, psychology, and sociology. One of his frequent collaborators was his wife, Deborah Hix, a retired senior research scientist with the Virginia Tech Department of Computer Science, who focused her work on usability engineering and the user experience, especially for virtual and augmented reality.
But it was his teaching for which Schulman is best remembered by faculty, staff, students, and alumni. In a 2007 Virginia Tech News story, it was estimated that he taught more than 170 classes to approximately 8,300 students, continually holding a record of excellence. For this, he received multiple teaching awards and was elected to the Virginia Tech Academy of Teaching Excellence in 1980.
Schulman's teaching experience impacted more than the Virginia Tech campus. For nearly 30 years he taught three-day "short courses" in applied statistics to more than 1,400 practicing professionals at private companies, government departments, and academic units, all in a variety of fields.
"Bob was a wonderful colleague and an active contributing member of our department for over 30 years," said Jeffrey B. Birch, also a professor emeritus of statistics, part of the Virginia Tech College of Science. "Bob loved teaching statistics and helping clients with their statistical issues, especially in the areas of psychology and sociology. He was a great teacher — one of the department's all-time best. He had a way of explaining the harder concepts of statistics to make the concepts more easily understood. He was especially helpful to me in my early years in the department. He was my 'go-to guy' when I needed advice on how to teach a difficult topic."
Betty Higginbotham, an assistant to the department head and a treasured member of the Department of Statistics for 50 years, said of Schulman: "Bob was a great person to work with. He loved to teach and cared about all the students. He treated everyone with respect and was professional all the time."
According to his obituary, Schulman was born in New York City in 1947, and moved at age 2 with his family to Washington, D.C. There, he graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in 1964, and he then attended Carnegie Tech (now Carnegie-Mellon University), where he earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics in 1968. He earned a master's degree from the University of Maryland in 1970,and a Ph.D. in psychology with a specialty in biometrics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1974.
Schulman soon moved to Blacksburg, where he would work at Virginia Tech for his entire career. His dedication to the university continued after his retirement in 2007. In 2017, he endowed the Robert S. Schulman Enrichment Fund to support all aspects of the graduate program in the Department of Statistics, including the recruitment and recognition of outstanding graduate students. He was a member of Virginia Tech's Ut Prosim Society and the Pylon Society.
"Dr. Schulman's support has been instrumental in aiding the department's recruiting and graduate experiences during the past few years, enabling recruiting visits, social functions and team building, recognition and awards, as well as professional development experiences," said David Higdon, head of the department.
In retirement, Schulman played bridge several times per week at Blacksburg's Senior Center, read story books to children at local preschools, and played poker with the same group of friends every other Thursday evening, a tradition he enjoyed for almost 40 years. He also traveled frequently with Debby, visiting a total of six continents.
In addition to Hix, his wife of 32 years, Schulman is survived by a son, Kevin, and his wife, Michelle; a daughter, Julie, and her husband, Ben Hannam; and six grandchildren Trey, Finn, Keeley, Leighton, Ruby, and Beckett; a sister, Susan Kirschenbaum, and her husband, Louis; and a brother, Jeff Schulman, and his wife, Nancy.
In lieu of flowers, Schulman requested remembrances be made in the form of a donation to the Women's Resource Center of the New River Valley, the Town of Blacksburg's Department of Parks and Recreation, or a charity of one's choice. He also requested, for those so inclined, that they perform a random act of kindness in his memory.
A celebration of life will be held at 2 p.m. on June 5, 2021, in the Hahn Horticulture Garden pavilion on the Virginia Tech campus.
