Even though the adherent USSC described in the invention share many overlapping features with MSC from fetal tissue and bone marrow such as the immunophenotype, osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation potential, these USSC are a more immature precursor cell population. Not being so far committed and specialized, they represent a promising source for regenerative medicine.

The formation of stars in distant galaxies is still largely unexplored. For the first time, astron-omers at the University of Geneva have now been able to closely observe a star system six billion light-years away. In doing so, they are confirming earlier simulations made by the University of Zurich. One special effect is made possible by the multiple reflections of images that run through the cosmos like a snake.
Today, astronomers have a pretty accurate idea of how stars were formed in the recent cosmic past. But do these laws also apply to older galaxies? For around a...

COMMUNITY: Southern Water Ashes returns for the new season04-Mar-2013
The Southern Water Ashes returns this year, with the Launch Event taking place recently at Hertford Junior School in Brighton, as the Sussex Community Coaches and the ever-popular Sid the Shark were in attendance, along with Southern Water's very own 'Mr Drink-it'.
The Community Roadshow will be visiting eight schools across the South Coast between Rottingdean and Portslade, with the aim of the tour to promote the message of hydration in cricket and water saving, along with how to become more efficient with water in school and at home.
Each student's aim during the roadshow is to build up as many points as possible in their quest to be one of the top five points scorers at their school. This earned a "golden ticket" invitation down to The BrightonandHoveJobs.com County Ground, Hove, to compete against all the other ticket winners for the right to take home the 'Ashes Urn'.
Every school involved in the scheme has or will receive an assembly presentation, highlighting the importance of water efficiency and hydration, including a fun, practical catching competition between two teachers. All children are given a Southern Water comic book and 7-day water diary.
They also get the chance to take part in the practical part of their roadshow themselves where the Year 5 and 6 children are challenged with cricket-based activities.
Andy Shaddick, Southern Water's Public Affairs Manager said, "We are delighted to again be running the Southern Water Ashes with local schools. As part of our Sporting Chance programme this partnership with Sussex Cricket teaches children the importance of staying hydrated during exercise while being put through their paces by these professional coaches."
Matt Parsons, Sussex Cricket Board's Community Coach said, "The cricketing reason behind the event is to bring simple, slightly different and interactive cricket activities to the schools and generate as much interest in this year's Ashes series as possible.
"We're of course very grateful to Southern Water for supporting the event as such a scheme wouldn't have been possible without their sponsorship".
The final takes place on Saturday 27th April in the Farnrise Indoor School at Hove between 12.00pm and 3.00pm.

As someone with moderate self-confidence, you generally feel comfortable interacting with other people. In particular, you find the company of friends comforting and occasionally enjoy meeting new people. You tend to be relaxed in groups, which makes people around you relaxed too. Perhaps because you feel comfortable talking about yourself, others tend to enjoy being around you and perceive you as friendly.
Your social confidence also spills into your personal beliefs about yourself. Although you have several strengths, you tend to acknowledge and accept your weaknesses. However, you sometime regret things you've done or said in the past, and occasionally get embarrassed by these things.
When it comes to your professional life, you tend to set moderate to high standards for yourself. Your work performance should provide ample evidence for this. With this and your sociability, friends and colleagues tend to see you as someone who can provide sound advice.
Family Orientation
As someone who respects family values, you tend to enjoy the company of family-members and are open to living a domestic life. If you have children already, you enjoy spending time with them very much and work hard to be a good parent, but may occasionally wish to "cut-loose" and let your true colors show. If you don't have children, you probably desire having a family sometime in the distant future. Although you occasionally enjoy cooking at home, you also like going to restaurants. This has the potential to create added stress as you transition into parenthood.
You are attracted to the idea of having a family and may be willing to work hard to achieve this, although not necessarily any time soon. This conflict is illustrated by the fact that you don't mind doing things around the house—like cooking and entertaining guests—on the one hand. But, on the other hand, you also like going to restaurants and parties. It's possible that in time you might prefer spending time at home more because you won't feel like you're missing anything when you don't go out.
One aspect of yourself that makes you likely to become more family oriented is that you generally know how to manage your frustrations and work well on your own. This means that you have some of the basic ingredients to enjoy family life. Maintaining a tidy home, keeping a well-stocked kitchen, and making sure the kids are safe is a tough job. So attending to these things, while also taking care of yourself, may prove somewhat difficult for you.
The self-control personality dimension captures the way in which a person regulates and directs him or herself. Being low in self-control can be both good and bad. Occasionally people may be compelled to follow their intuitions and give in to their temptations, and your degree of self-control makes this likely to happen more often than not. This can be good in circumstances where being relaxed and open are important. However, in situations where it is necessary to be focused and careful, you might find that you do or say things that may be inappropriate.
As someone who exerts little control over your actions, you may find that you commit social blunders that might offend other people and get yourself in trouble. For example, if you're given responsibility to work on a project that requires close attention to detail, you may be likely to overlook important details because you have difficulty staying focused. Consequently, you might feel more comfortable delegating such tasks to other people who are more detail oriented. Being able to recognize such characteristics in yourself and having more detail-oriented people do such tasks could be an effective way to manage your own stress level.
Low self-control may diminish your effectiveness at work. Acting too relaxed can make it difficult for you to focus on projects that require organized sequences of steps or stages. Thus, your ability to accomplish may be inconsistent. Indeed, it's possible that you might be criticized periodically for being unreliable or unable to "stay within the lines." Nonetheless, you may still experience many short-lived pleasures and never be thought of as boring.
As someone with a low score in openness, you are down to earth and prefer fact to fiction. It's likely you don't particularly enjoy the arts because it's not always clear whether it has any practical use. Moreover, you probably don't consider yourself to be a very emotional person because you tend to focus attention on concrete goals and objectives, so there's no real reason to get too upset about anything because such worrying will not change anything.
Rather than day-dreaming and playing with abstract concepts and ideas, you prefer thinking and talking about concrete issues where a clear answer or decision can be made. That is, you tend to think more logically and methodically about most things. Thus, it is likely that you prefer working on projects where there are clear instructions and objectives; you may find it difficult and pointless to work on projects that require too much creative thinking.
This propensity can have advantages and disadvantages. For instance, when there are clear rules about how to solve a particular problem, your ability to follow instructions makes it easy for you to accomplish your work and excel. In contrast, you may be easily overwhelmed and frustrated when working on projects that have no clear solution.
Easygoingness refers to one's ability to relax. Based on your score, you appear to "take things as they come" and enjoy having a good time. However, being high in easygoingness also has the potential to produce stress in a number of ways. For example, you may find it difficult to complete tasks thoroughly and efficiently. In this way, being high in easygoingness cannot only make your life difficult, but also the lives of the people around you. Another potential problem with being too high in easygoingness is that it can provide you with gratification in the short-term, but in the long-term provide undesirable consequences.
High easygoingness, even when not seriously destructive, may also diminish your effectiveness at work, for example. You may find it aversive and difficult to put in all the effort that may sometimes be needed to effectively accomplish certain tasks. For this reason, your colleagues might view you as forgetful and unfocused.
How does your personality affect your love life?
Your social competence and charm make it easy for you to get along well with most people. Indeed, it's self-confidence that allows people to feel comfortable interacting with others without feeling insecure and vulnerable. This should work to your advantage in your romantic life. Your social skills should help make for a pleasant first date by alleviating any nervousness that your partner might have. Over time, the realistic standards that you tend to set for yourself could work well with your partner. That is, by setting realistic goals for yourself and your relationships, your partners should feel less pressure to be someone that they are not.
Because you respect family values but appreciate a good night out on the town, you probably get along well with people that are different from you. For this reason, you would probably be quite content in a romantic relationship with someone who shares your same values on these issues.
Being in a relationship with someone who enjoys going out to parties and staying-up late at night might be fun, at least initially; yet it's likely that you will find this tiring over time. Thus, it might be easier and more satisfying for you to develop a long-lasting relationship with a person who enjoys both spending time at home and going out to eat.
As someone who is more relaxed than most people, you likely get along with most people quite well. Chances are that your friends and colleagues perceive you as lively, fun to be with, and good-humored. When it comes to romance, you'll likely be attracted to most people. However, your free-spirited nature might make being in a relationship with a person that is more rigid than you difficult because you might perceive the person as being too uptight and controlling.
Your level of conventionality might make it difficult for you to tolerate people with beliefs different from your own. Although such people might be fun on first dates, once you begin talking about serious issues, you might find their unorthodoxy unsettling and even offensive. Therefore, you will likely be most satisfied in relationships with people that are more traditional and down to earth.

Housman was certainly kept busy granting his permissions. The songs on these two CDs represent no more than a fraction of those available. By one count, in the poet's time or later, there have been, for example, ten settings of Loveliest of trees; eight of When I was one-and-twenty; seven of In summertime on Bredon; six of White in the moon the long road lies. Another source suggests that world-wide the number of song cycles based on A Shropshire Lad currently tops 160. And for as long as composers have been ensnared by the verse, so have writers been rehearsing and re-rehearsing the reasons why A Shropshire Lad should have 'cried out for music', in Ernest Newman's phrase. Clearly, like the similarly much-quarried German poet Heine and Shakespeare (acknowledged as prime influences by Housman himself) the lines are open, lyrical and rhythmic, transparent in quality and yet loaded with meaning and emotion that peel off in layers. Simple language becomes luminous. The feel of the language of folk-song has chimed with modern times—especially around the turn of the century, when many composers were acutely aware both of its potential as the cellular material for a 'national music' and, of course, of its vulnerability in a rapidly urbanising age. Allied to that is the attraction to composers of the similarly vulnerable English pastoral scene which lies behind A Shropshire Lad. And so one could go on, not least to the appeal of specific themes to specific composers. But A Shropshire Lad's allure cannot have lain exclusively in its 'musical' qualities. George Orwell once said that Housman 'had the deepest hold upon the thinking young' from 1910 to 1925, his poetry reflecting such root issues as the questioning of religious truth and the value of human life in an age of modern warfare—subject matter enough to stir a composer.
The main potential drawback of A Shropshire Lad as far as composers are concerned has to do with the straightforward, 'naive' metres—part of the poetry's essential quality, of course, yet too predictable for many a serious-minded composer with aesthetic scruples to burn. Hence, for example, the spreading of Butterworth's setting of Look not in my eyes into a basic flow of 5/4; the off-the-beat entries of Orr's When I watch the living meet; or the slinking in and out of 3/4, 4/4 and 5/4 of Barber's With rue my heart is laden which threatens a mild sea-sickness. Not of course that the basic rhythms can't serve perfectly well where metric simplicity, in context, can be exploited as a virtue—there's music in them, after all.
Given the extraordinary interest composers have shown in A Shropshire Lad, not to mention its huge popularity with the general public (never out of print since it first appeared in 1896), it comes as a surprise that the slim, unassuming volume was not the immediate success that commentators have sometimes accorded to it. When Housman once read such an assertion from an author, he wrote in the margin of the page in question, 'It wasn't'. The poet himself paid the then considerable sum of £30 towards the book's initial publication in 500 copies by Kegan Paul, and then looked on as sales crept only to 494 by the end of 1898. Even after the ambitious young journalist Grant Richards took A Shropshire Lad onto his initial list as a publisher and pushed it hard, only 1,475 copies had been sold seven years after its release. Having apparently then reached a critical mass, sales multiplied from 1906 (with Boer War memories still potent enough to vibrate sympathetically with so much of the poetry) to 1911, averaging 13,500 a year. During the Great War, A Shropshire Lad was in the kitbag of many a Tommy—Housman insisted on keeping the price low to accommodate them. Housman was deeply proud of A Shropshire Lad but remained a passive spectator of the sales charts. He never took a royalty. Clearly the poems had meaning for him far beyond fame or material gain.
Although he had written poetry for some considerable time previously, the key year for A Shropshire Lad is 1894, when the idea finally evolved of extending a selection of his existing poems into some form of cycle which would reflect both his personal philosophy and his sense of geographical dislocation—born and brought up in the West Country before moves to Oxford and then London. The scene change is first reflected in A Shropshire Lad at White in the moon and As through the wild green hills of Wyre, although essentially Housman merely takes up a new viewpoint, London, from which to scan the same 'territory'. By this time he was Professor of Latin at University College, London, having surmounted through sheer force of academic brilliance the obstacle created by inexplicable failure in his final examinations at Oxford. His sister Kate believed the significant emotional release which opened the way to the rapid completion of A Shropshire Lad was the death of their father Edward Housman in November 1894—he and his oldest son not having been exactly at ease with each other. That the poems were deeply personal in nature could be guessed from the original intention to publish pseudonymously under the title The poems of Terence Hearsay—a smoke-screen to readers, a smoke-screen to himself, under cover of which he could perhaps feel more secure to explore his innermost thoughts and feelings. His brother Laurence—a literary man himself—guessed as much. The replacement title is maybe still a hint at the diversionary tactics going on. As the Housman scholar Keith Jebb, for one, has suggested, Shropshire is here more an idealised stage for an idealised vision of rural life, onto and into which the harsh realities of Housman's life philosophies are placed. For one thing, Shropshire's boundaries would have to be redrawn to include for certain all the West Country references in A Shropshire Lad. Although he came to know Shropshire well, the formative memory of the county was as distant views seen on childhood walks from the family home at Fockbury in Worcestershire. Shropshire, he was to recall, was on 'our Western horizon which made me feel romantic about it'. A short distance then to the county's becoming the idealised 'Land of Lost Content', a 'safe' location in which to place baggage too deeply personal to be coped with adequately in everyday life.
A Shropshire Lad, some have said, should thus be seen more as an outlet for Housman's emotions rather than an expression of them. At the risk of analysing only selected layers of a complex psyche, three areas at least stand out with blatant clarity in the poetry. First, the stone-cold, crushing fatalism, nihilism, the dwelling on the transience of life—call it what you will—seen in any number of lines of such ilk as 'Wonder 'tis how little mirth | Keeps the bones of man from lying | On the bed of earth' from Twice a week the winter thorough. Housman's atheism is reckoned as a response to the death of his mother when he was just short of the age of twelve—although the final renunciation of his religious faith came during student years at Oxford. His brother Laurence felt he may have clung on to some vague belief in a Supreme Being, but not one of a personal nature. The very starkness of the fatalism seen in A Shropshire Lad, warmed only by nostalgia, hints at its having an emotional basis rather than being purely an intellectual construct. Ironically, however, easily the greatest number of literary allusions made in A Shropshire Lad are to the Bible—although, to be fair, Matthew Arnold does come in a close third (behind Shakespeare).
Then, it takes no great genius to detect within A Shropshire Lad the pain and regrets of someone unlucky in love. What only a few could have guessed at was that this was rooted in Housman's repressed homosexuality. The awareness of such leanings left him with the inevitable sense of being an outsider in the society of his day, additionally guilt-ridden out of respect for his mother's religion, and with the further hurt of his ultimately unrequited (it seems) love for Moses Jackson. The two met as students at Oxford and shared lodgings—along with Jackson's brother Adalbert—for three years in London. The relationship with Moses, a brilliant scientist and athlete who became a fellow of University College, London, first cooled and then was all but severed when Jackson first left for India and then popped back to marry and whisk off a young widow, Rosa Chambers. Housman wasn't invited to the wedding in December 1889—was even, significantly, kept in the dark about it. A Shropshire Lad's outlook on love is inevitably coloured by all of this, committed to paper even as a homophobic society was pouring scorn and hatred on Oscar Wilde over the notorious 1895 trial which saw him sentenced to two years' hard labour for homosexual practices.
The many military overtones to A Shropshire Lad captured the imagination of soldiers who served in the Boer War and the Great War, but the verse was of course penned before either. This uncanny apparent prescience is explained by the fact that Housman had a special feeling for soldiery from the time a childhood visit to London brought an impressive sighting of the Guards. His brother Herbert gave up a medical career in 1889 to join the King's Royal Rifles as a private. Perhaps reflecting the strength of the feminine side to his character, Housman seems to have had a particular admiration for the courage and self-sacrifice of the ordinary soldier. And it is hardly fanciful to envisage that homosexual feelings could be aroused to some extent by the sight of men in uniform, as suggested by the lines in The street sounds to the soldiers' tread: 'A single redcoat turns his head, | He turns and looks at me.'
But there is so much else to be read into this deceptively 'straightforward' poetry—the sense of history, classical allusion, the special feeling for youth and the young—some of it retrieved with relative ease, some surrendering only to greater familiarity. Given the nagging pain and doubt that underlies so much of the verse, one can only hope that the vision of 'Shropshire' itself—the earth, as in Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde—offered some form of consolation. Housman, a friend once recalled, had 'a deep appreciation of the beauties of nature, as regards landscape, & the wild flowers, birds and animals which one comes across in the course of a long day's walk over fields, & commons & through woods'.

Beer fetches $1,600 at auctions
I have mixed feelings about beer auctions.
For the most part, I'm against them. I look at them sometimes as beer hoarders taking advantage of other people, jacking up the price for beers for those who truly want to it to enjoy.
I advocate beer trading – that way both people benefit.
However, I have a somewhat different opinion when its a true auction house such as Skinner
, Inc., compared to eBay. For some reason it adds legitimacy to it.
Anyhow, Skinner has been doing wine auctions for years, and have recently added beer to auctions. Recently, they had their top sale ever for a beer, the Cantillon Don Quijote 2008, which fetched $1,600 in the Fine Wines auction on May 2.
That is an incredible amount, which makes sense for a beer where only 240 bottles were released.
I don't know if any beer is worth $1,600, but I hope whoever buys it drinks it on a special occasion and truly loves it.
What do you think about beer auctions? Does it make a difference if its something like eBay or a real auction house?

At the 13th Founder Showcase, which took place on March 27th of this year, the focus of the evening was on the 'Future of Funding' and early-stage startups. Ash Fontana, Head of Fundraising Products at AngelList, kicked off the event with a talk every founder needs to hear: Tips on Fundraising via AngelList.
Ash explained the fundamentals of using the site including 5 best practices for both startups and investors. Why use online tools for fundraising in the first place? Well, according to Ash "you won't get the best investor or the best price if you don't expose yourself to everyone", and that means utilizing every resource available.
So how can you optimize your presence on AngelList? Check out the video below and our summary to find out;
1. Set up an AngelList profile as soon as possible
As soon as your company is more than an idea, create your AngelList profile. This profile is essentially a LinkedIn for your company and is a great way to establish your presence online.
2. Build a stellar profile
The number one mistake entrepreneurs make is that they don't give potential investors enough information. So what does it mean to have a great profile?
- Provide as much information as possible.
- Be specific. Concentrate on one thing you do that no one else does.
- If you're active you WILL get noticed.
- Match offline with online activity – make sure your real world network is reflected on AngelList.
3. Use AngelList like a social network
AngelList is a social network, so use it as such! This is your chance to showcase every element of your business, so take advantage and give investors the information they need to evaluate you as a whole. This might include notable connections, milestones in your company, and your activity on the site. When you meet someone interesting, ask them to follow you on AngelList – don't be shy! Again, the more active you are, the more likely you are to get noticed.
4. You can't gamify AngelList
There are no tricks or hacks to getting more attention on AngelList. With filters in place that weight companies based on quality, startups that are trending or featured in investor's feeds are selected based on value and organic interest. The snowball effect happens on AngelList the same way it does it real life; introductions are made, money is invested, and eventually buzz starts to build.
5. Best practices for investors
To get the most out of AngelList as an investor, make sure you've tagged all your previous investments and identified markets you are interested in. This way you will receive a more personalized deal flow based on your interests and location. Finally, when searching for companies, use the url www.angel.co/startups to see who is looking to raise a round.
Regardless of whether or not you decide to use AngelList, Ash recommends using online tools to establish your businesses' online presence and to ensure you get the best price when your startup is looking to raise money. There are plenty of online tools out there, so take your pick. However, when you do decide to build a profile, make sure you are taking advantage of every feature offered and you are getting the most out of it.
About AngelList
AngelList is a platform for startups. Often touted as the "LinkedIn for your company", AngelList helps connect startups with investors by fostering connections, highlighting relevant company information, and helping provide access to capital.

Pax Murphy Bed with Sliding Doors
Materials: Pax Wardrobes and Lyngdal sliding doors
Description: We wanted to make the second bedroom in our condo more multifunctional, and the obvious solution was a Murphy bed.
We spoke to some of the local suppliers, and a basic Murphy bed with no additional storage space would have been at least $3,500. That's a little steep, and we didn't really like the style of any of them.
I'd seen two IKEA hacks that used Pax cabinets with a Murphy bed kit here and here.
I used those as inspiration, but switched to sliding doors instead of bifolds.
3 Ikea Pax 100×236 wardrobes (1 was cut up and used for materials)
2 sets Ikea Pax Lyngdal 200×236 sliding doors
1 set Ikea Inreda LED spotlight
2 Ikea Inreda LED light strips
Free-standing Murphy bed kit
2″ and 1-1/4″ particle board screws
Cabinet edging tape
Total Cost: $1,650
Ikea Cost: $1,010
We waited until Ikea had a Bedroom event. We bought the Pax stuff, got $150 gift card back, and then used that to buy the lighting. I was also able to scavenge some underutilized shelves and drawers from a few of the other Pax wardrobes we have.
Total Width: approx. 372cm (10′-1″)
From start to finish the project took about 1 week – that was one solid Saturday of work, with everything else done in the evenings.
For the most part all of the work was done by one person, but there were a few steps were a second set of hands was needed: initially assembling the Pax wardrobes; lifting the top piece into place; and lifting the doors onto the rails.
See more of the Pax sliding door wardrobe with Murphy bed.

23 Responses to Pax Murphy Bed with Sliding Doors
I did something similar hacking an d IKEA PAX full cabinet with sliding doors. You can buy some really good quality murphy bed kits on Wall Bed King, they are a European company but they do delivery anywhere in the US.
This is a great Ikea Hack, using a Murphy Bed!
As an FYI, we sell this frame, with free shipping to anywhere in the lower 48 states. you can find it on our website, at murphybeddepot.com, or give us a call, toll-free, at (866)844-9255, and we'd love to help any DIY Murphy Bed / Wall Bed enthusiast save some space and transform any room with a Next Bed, Panel Bed, or other Murphy Bed kit.
Hi Jules, I'm from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and is interested to know where you bought (or where can I buy) the free standing Murphy bed kit and how much it cost. Thanks in advance for your reply.
Hey! I live in Northern AB and was hoping to find a local dealer for the Next Bed — I've found one in Calgary but nothing in Edmonton. Where did you buy yours?
I love how this looks, great job!
Just wanted to see if you still enjoy the Next Bed now that you've had it awhile and find it comfortable.
Also, I have a large antique headboard I'd like to use mounted on the wall behind the Next Bed. Is there an reason you see that it wouldn't work? From everything I see is seems like it would be no problem.
Also #2, for the space at the head of the bed where there's a gap…would it work to slip 1 or 2 pieces of very firm foam in that gap once the bed is open?
Is there any chance you could use a king sized mattress in this arrangement? We've just decided to do this in our basement level guest bedroom. We already have a king size bed there and would like to keep it but the room would be so much more useful if we had a murphy bed.
Great idea, which I've been studying closely.
FYI 372cm = approx. 12′-2.5″
Murphy beds are so practical and seem to becoming a lot more popular, especially in apartments, condos and studios. I assembled a queen-size BredaBed for my parents-in-law who live in a small apartment. Very convenient!!
This is so retro! I haven't seen a Murphy bed in forever. I lived in several small studios in NYC and Jersey City during the 90s and Murphy beds never dawned on me. I only wish now I had remembered them then. I was thinking, If you didn't have sliding doors, you could push the bed up and leave it as is. The underside showing (during a party) might make for a great conversation piece. Or put some nails in the bottom frame and hang art temporarily. Great ikeahack.
Love this idea, really opens up the space.

Does the bedding not get extremely wrinkled whilst it's up? Or do you just dress it each time you take it down?
It gets pressed flat against the wall, so it hasn't really been a problem? It might need to be smoothed out a bit when the bed is pulled down, but nothing major.
We don't fold the pillows up, though. We have a 12″ mattress with a mattress pad, which we just reused from our old bed. With a shallower mattress you might be able to fold the pillows up, but with our gigantic mattress they either have to be tucked down on the sides, or pulled off and put in the storage.
Oh I love this!

That looks amazing! Good job!
It looks awesome. Question: which Murphy bed kid did you use?
I used the Next Bed kit. For a lot of the other kits I saw comments about how flimsy or cheap the foundation for the mattress was, but that's not an issue with the Next Bed since it uses slats.
It needs to be mounted to the wall at baseboard level which is what's covered in the instructions, but I'm pretty sure you could mount it to the floor instead if you wanted.
There are plenty of videos of it online, like this one: http://youtu.be/B1XIB5PchAI
Good info. Thanks!
A great space saver indeed.
I know one must make sacrifices when living in small spaces but, how do you get to your clothes when the bed is down?
Other than that it looks great!
This is actually for his second bedroom, so I don't think getting to his clothes is an issue (I'm assuming that it's basically a guest bed). Also, it wouldn't take more than a few seconds to put the bed up and get to your clothes, so I don't think it would be a problem for whoever is using the room.
Thanks for the replies. Didn't see that it was a guest room.
@K M Story, I certainly could see it as an issue if someone was still sleeping in the bed. Making sure you have clothes out for the next day would be a necessity if it was the main bedroom and one was part of a couple.
Yup, it's our guest bedroom which already has its own walk in closet. We're just using the extra Pax storage for spare bedding, purses, yoga/fitness stuff, boardgames…
If the bed is down, it takes less than 10 seconds to flip it up and access the storage. It wouldn't be ideal as a main bed/closet, but it would still be pretty workable.
The biggest challenge is the width – in the description it says 10′-1″, but I goofed and it's actually 12′-2″. So you need a fairly long wall to make this work.

Business professor takes role as Emporia State general counselAugust 31, 2012
An Emporia State business professor who assumed general counsel duties on a part-time interim basis will take the permanent position.
Dr. Kevin Johnson, associate professor in the university's School of Business, will begin his new role on Sunday, Sept. 2. The position was vacated this last summer when Tracy Greene took a similar role at South Dakota State University.
Johnson currently teaches four courses in the School of Business and will fulfill his teaching commitments for the 2012-13 academic year.
"I am excited to accept the additional role as general counsel for Emporia State University," Johnson said.
Before joining the School of Business faculty in 1999, Johnson practiced law in Wichita. He had a general practice from 1981 until the early 1990s when he began focusing on business representation.
Johnson holds a bachelor's degree in sociology from Wichita State University and a juris doctor from Washburn University School of Law. He is licensed to practice law in the state and federal courts of Kansas, the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals an in front of the U.S. Supreme Court.
"Our search for a new general counsel drew candidates from across the United States," said Dr. Michael D. Shonrock, president of Emporia State University. "Kevin had everything we were looking for: legal expertise as well as a deep understanding of the higher education system and especially Emporia State."
Johnson currently is past president of the Emporia State faculty, serving as president during the 2011-12 academic year. He also has served on the Student Learning (Assessment) Committee, Tuition and Budget Committee and Ethics Committee. He also is director of the Kansas Business Hall of Fame, housed at Emporia State University, a position he will continue through the organization's annual meeting in November.

Emporia State University planning memorial serviceOctober 24, 2011
Plans are under way for a memorial service for two Emporia State University students from China who were killed Thursday morning, Oct. 20, 2011, in an apartment fire.
Both Yawei Fan and Zheng Lin were from Liaoning province in China and came to ESU for the Fall 2009 semester.
Fan was a sophomore studying chemistry.
Lin was studying for her master's degree in the Department of English, Modern Languages and Journalism. She worked at the Center for Early Childhood on campus.
"They were good students and very nice people," said Dr. Eric Yang, assistant professor of biological sciences at ESU.
Yang has worked with Liaoning Normal University, the students' home institution and an ESU partner institution.
"Every year, I went to the home institution in Dalian," Yang said. "I met them there."

Officials working to locate Emporia State studentOctober 29, 2012
Law-enforcement and other officials are working to locate a student who did not return from fall break.
Residential Life staff were notified last week by Emilee Irsik's roommates that the 20-year-old Wichita student did not return from fall break, which was Oct. 18 and 19. At that point, staff initiated the university's missing student protocol, which included contacting Emporia State Police and Safety.
"We want to make sure that Emilee is fine," said Lynn Hobson, associate vice-president of student affairs, who oversees Residential Life. "Our hopes and prayers are with Emilee's family and her friends as they deal with the uncertainties right now."
Irsik's family and friends have created a Facebook group to help locate the student — https://www.facebook.com/groups/emileeirsik/?ref=ts&fref=ts.

1 Museum of International Folk Art
706 Camino Lejo
The Museum of International Folk Art was founded in 1953 with the extensive collection of Florence Bartlett as the basis for its collection. Bartlett survived both world wars and emerged with the conviction that "keeping traditional art alive would one day bring peace." Since its founding, MOIFA has come under the wing of the Museum of New Mexico and is now world-renowned for its comprehensive exhibitions of folk art from corners near and far.
What began with 5,000 artifacts has grown to a collection of more than 135,000—the single largest collection of international folk art in the world. SFR asked Museum Director Marsha Bol how the museum had become so special to both local and visiting constituents. "People enjoy folk art and, with the ongoing mission of peaceful bonds through art, along with the extensive programs partnered with education and after-school programming, and hands on exhibitions, it is nothing less than attractive," Bol says.
MOIFA now hosts the annual International Folk Art Market each July, which features 165 artists from around the globe. On Aug. 29, the museum will cap its Dancing Shadows, Epic Tales: Wayang Kulit of Indonesia show with a live performance by an Indonesian puppeteer. (Casey Gallegos)

What is a good example of a business plan?
- print Print
- list Cite
Arguably, there is nothing more important in a company's documents than its business plan. There are a variety of reasons for this, from internal planning by the company's managers, to its attractiveness to loans from banks, to its ability to convince others to invest. For new businesses, a business plan in the start-up phase provides a clear path to the future as it requires that everyone involved carefully consider their strategies and realistically evaluate the new enterprise's limitations in order to avoid potential costly mistakes.
Few and far between are companies who survive without a business plan. Those who forego this crucial step are statistically more likely to fail. A well-constructed plan can assist businesses in clarifying their objectives and reach their goals. Management decisions made prior to actions help companies realize both their limitations, how to ultimately overcome those limitations, and to continue to grow, become, and remain competitive.
Business plans are used in for multiple reasons and purpose. Internally, business plans are used to forecast events and plan accordingly by the company's executives. Business plans are used to acquire the money needed for smooth operations, whether those funds are used for current operational needs or for planned expansions, mergers, acquisitions, and more. Because each plan is specific to each company, each is unique although some standard elements are usually present in all.
Let's consider the usefulness of a business plan for internal purposes first. Much like an architectural blueprint to show construction workers specifically how to erect a building, business plans too are blueprints to show managers and executives how to build a sound foundation and scaffolding of a business. As the business grows, the business plan can be compared to the projected goals, sales, direction, and the timeliness of all of those elements. If something goes wrong, the business plan can help where those problem areas are occurring, and solutions that have anticipated some of those rough spots can be implemented. Areas of opportunity are also anticipated in a well-constructed business plan, such as marketing potential and opportunities. Anticipating the need for income as the company grows is also an important element of a company's business plan. Looking forward, for both problems and opportunities, helps a company stay on course.
In the best of worlds, everyone involved in a company will be aware and participate in a company's business plan, from the president to the forklift driver. For those in upper management, a good plan will establish performance targets for the company as a whole. In middle management, the plan is used to guide decisions in real time as these managers navigate on-going needs, problems, and opportunities. Middle management also relies on the business plan to assess those performance of employees who work below them. Those on the lower levels should be aware of the future plans for the company so that they can adjust their own performance on the job in order to help the company stay on course and reach its future goals.
As companies grow and change, they frequently face the need to reorganize or restructure. When this happens, a business plan which has anticipated these events can help the company stay profitable as it pursues new goals. Plans that include the needs of a reorganization or restructure will identify the types of changes that will likely be necessary, including changes in production and employees as well as products and services.
Outside of the company, a clear business plan is used by lenders to assess a company's ability to take on debt. The business plan continually documents the company's cash flow needs as well as providing a comprehensive list of assets. The business plan also offers lenders its projected financial performance. This factual information allows lenders to perform risk assessment and avoid making bad loans.
When it comes time to sell a company, the business plan is the best and first source of information for the potential buyer, either of the entire company, one or more of its divisions, or its product line. Just as it does for lenders, the business plan, for a buyer, gives that party valuable insight into the basic strengths and weakness of the company it is looking into purchasing.
No single person prepares a company's business plan, at least not many which result in successful ventures. Business plans are almost always a team effort, and they involve not only executives, but managers and workforce input as well. Upper management is wise to listen to everyone involved when establishing the plan, and they should be willing to entertain feedback as well.
A few basic steps can be identified in the planning process. The first step is to organize the process by identifying who will be involved, determining the basic scope of the plan, and establishing a time frame within which the plan is to be completed. Upper management not only communicates its support of the planning process, it also defines the responsibilities of each party involved. Work plans that supplement the general timetable are helpful in meeting deadlines associated with the planning process.
While plans are indeed unique, some components are overlap. For example, all companies must begin with determining who among them will be involved in the construction and verbiage of the plan; they must define the scope of the plan; they must decide on a deadline for the plan's completion. After this entire framework has been laid down, and after a great deal of information is gathered, those involved can begin assessing the company, both internally and externally. Of great importance is an honest assessment of any and all weaknesses identified, whether those weaknesses are internal or external. External factors that fall under consideration include the economic picture of the country, competitors, and trends. Management is also assessed at this time.
After organizing and evaluation comes goal setting and strategizing for the future. Goals usually include defining the market, how the company will compete in the marketplace, and its overall philosophy regarding customers. From these broader goals, more specific strategies are developed.
Now specific plans can go forward. Programs determine how the existing and future resources will be managed in order to achieve goals.

Business Plan
A good business plan lets you formulate the best route for your business to take. It can even help you find your way through hard-to-navigate financial and logistical passages.
While all business owners should have such a plan in place before they go looking for funding or open their doors to customers, not all plans need to be the same.
Your plan depends on the goods or services you offer, how much funding you need and what your goals are for the future.
Creditors will want to see how and when you'll be able to repay them. Investors will also want to know when they can expect a return on their investment.
If you plan on requesting funding of any kind, then you'll want to pay very close attention to the financial sections of your business plan.
Business plan format
Examples of these sections, along with other crucial information to be included in your business plan, are listed below.
The executive summary
This is usually the first section of any business plan. It gives the reader a condensed idea about what your business is all about and how you intend to accomplish your goals.
While the executive summary may be the most important part of your business plan, you might want to hold off on writing it until you've worked through the rest of your plan.
Company description
Think of this section as an extended elevator pitch. You want to explain in depth the goals of your business and how you will satisfy the needs of your market.
Your company description also explains the competitive advantages that you believe will make your business a success.
Market analysis
The market analysis section is where you explain your research to readers, including exactly who your target market is.
Organization and management
The organization and management section tells your readers about the structure of your business and who in the company is responsible for different operations.
Service or product line
The service or product line section includes a description of your product or service and any associated copyright information or research and development activities.
Marketing and sales
The marketing and sales section of your plan includes information on market penetration and growth strategies for your business, as well as information about your sales strategies and activities.
Funding request
If you plan on asking for a loan or other financial assistance, then you'll need to include a funding request as part of your business plan, which includes specifics about how much money you need now and how much you'll need in the future.
Creditors may also want to see a financial projections section, outlining what your business will accomplish financially over the next three to five years.
Keep in mind that the sections listed above comprise the conventional elements of a business plan.
However, your business plans can be as unique and diverse as your business. It should be a reflection of the kind of business you wish to start.
To get an idea of some of the different ways to approach a business plan, visit Bplan's sample business plan gallery. You can also start your own business plan online by registering with the Small Business Association.
A buisness plan is very broad. But assuming that you ment you want to start a buisness and were asking for things you need to plan ahead of time ill just leave this here and this is just some thoughts and opinions.
- You need to make sure you have an appropriate setting for your buisness if you are having a physical store you might want to look for empty lots or stores people are selling to make sure you catch peoples attention
- Advertisement
- Shelves and proper tools for the store
- Mass suppliers to replenish your stock
- Workers if a big buisness
- Plan out a payroll
- Plan out monthy or weekly expenses
- Bills for electicity and ac etc..
- Product buying in mass as mentioned above suppliers
And thats all I can think up of to have a good buisness tart up plan
Business planning requires a long term perspective and faith in your company's capabilities. I might sound a bit too impractical as compared to the present scenario but in my opinion these are the basic necessities of planning a business prospective. A business plan is an essential roadmap for business success. This living document generally projects 3-5 years ahead and outlines the route a company intends to take to grow revenues. The most important aspect is being honest. Your business plan should reflect your company perfectly. Under or over estimation of any sort can incur losses and disappointments!

When it comes to network security, many users and administrators are running scared, and justifiably so. The sophistication of attacks against computer systems increases with each new Internet worm.
What's the worst an attacker can do to you? You'd better find out, right? That's what Security Warrior teaches you. Based on the principle that the only way to defend yourself is to understand your attacker in depth, Security Warrior reveals how your systems can be attacked. Covering everything from reverse engineering to SQL attacks, and including topics like social engineering, antiforensics, and common attacks against UNIX and Windows systems, this book teaches you to know your enemy and how to be prepared to do battle.
Security Warrior places particular emphasis on reverse engineering. RE is a fundamental skill for the administrator, who must be aware of all kinds of malware that can be installed on his machines -- trojaned binaries, "spyware" that looks innocuous but that sends private data back to its creator, and more. This is the only book to discuss reverse engineering for Linux or Windows CE. It's also the only book that shows you how SQL injection works, enabling you to inspect your database and web applications for vulnerability.
