Don't miss out on this most special day of the year: Talk Like a Pirate Day! You can inventory your pirate tendencies (just call me The Cap'n and hand me a bucket of chum), wear a parrot on your shoulder, or just say "arrrrr" a lot. So release your inner pirate, put on your eye-patch, and have a slug 'o rum on me. Arrr.
P.S. I've valiantly held back from saying anything about Pastafarianism and the Flying Spaghetti Monster for an awful long time now, but this is too good an opportunity to pass up, given the importance of pirates in its methodology. (Warning: Intelligent Design proponents probably won't enjoy the humor of the site.)

Gartner PCC Summit 2007 (part 6)
The workplace needs to work like a machine but also adapt like the marketplace.
Where what needs to be done cannot be predescribed, modeled, or even understood… make room for the old to adapt and the new to emerge. Email is the biggest evidence for this. It supports informal interactions and fills in the gaps the collaboration tools don't fill.
Key issues:
- what can we learn from the use of social software on the public internet?
- how are blogs, wikis, social tagging, expertise location, and other social software being used to create business value?
- What products and vendors are most suitable for enterprise social software deployments?
- What are the best practices in avoiding risks and extracting value from enterprise social networks?
There is value in social interactions:
- social bookmarks combine individual bookmarks making it possible to identify common interests that drives recommendations or relevancy
- social tagging (folksonomies) let users add metadata or labels to create more useful and natural classification schemes
- content rating and reputation management let participants rate other participants or content- likes/dislikes (taste sharing) aggregate opinions that can also drive recommendations, relevancy, quality
- prediction markets reward individuals who bet correctly on future outcomes, which helps to predict them. E.g. consensuspoint, longbets (Didn't know these sites before…)
- conversational interactions using blogs and wikis, encourage contribution, unplanned contact, feedback and continuous refinement
A glimpse into the architecture of open collaboration (using Wikipedia, last.fm and del.icio.us as example):
- unique address
- change in context
- discuss in context
- memory and reputation
- shared categories
- emergent structure
- attention-based relevancy
- quality feedback
- group formation
- monitoring
- co-creation
- co-filtering
Creating chaotic production and self-organisation and group formation
Social software fills the gap between the inflexible and the chaotic. Shows an interesting sheets comparing different environments from different levels (create, organize, find and interact):
- engineered: inflexible structure
- open and freeform: adaptive structure
- personal: chaotic structure
The technologies of social software can be split into the following categories:
- create
- organize
- find
- interact
The interesting thing is that Drakos shows that even these categories do not have clear boundaries. Creation tools, such as documents, morph to blog posts and wikipages. Wikipages shift to interaction technologies. Etc.
A Gartner 2006 Survey on level of technology adoption says: there is a gap between user demand and IT support. In social software there is a much larger part of 'unofficial use' in these technologies than in 'older' technologies, such as your email client.
Drakos gives an overview of small and large social software vendors. (At the end of September 2007 Gartner will publish its magic quadrant on social software). This overview was kind of disappointing. I was hoping for a couple of social software suite examples that companies already use. The examples Drakos gave were not surprising. In any sense, the social market is clearly exploding.
What are the social software best-practices?
- knowledge reuse
- visible work in progress
- employee engagement
- real profiles, reputation and trust
- unplanned collaboration
Besides the good things of social software there are risks:
- loss of control over people and information >> give guidelines and policies on acceptable use of resources; respect of confidentiality
- compromised quality, loudest voice wins, negativity, and personal attacks >> discourage/disallow anonymity, use 'social accounting' for trust and reputation, intervention more necessary in early stages
- redundancy and inconsistencies >> accept some 'messiness' in organizing information that would not be organized in any other way.
- 'employee monitoring' fears >> education and user control over what information about them is available to others
Support for social interactions will release and amplify hidden creativity as well as pent up frustration.
Adopt incrementally and scale through viral growth:
- open and easy to use
- expose connections
- bridge to email (contribute and respond via email, RSS/Atom, incremental formalization)
- people first
- provide initial structure (provide purpose and objectives, but keep it flexible, avoid 'big bang' deployments)
- lead by example (do it, mandate judiciously, reward with attention)
- experiment with social software
- rethink policies of 'restricted access by default' - especially for jobs that depend on exploration, innovation, creativity and discovery
- use good governance to stamp out problems from open information access, less editorial control, misuse
- expect more products from mainstream vendors but note that niche vendors will stay ahead.

Here at Mad Lab, we're always amazed at what what it means to be human.
We're born, we grow old, we pass away. And over that experience, any number of strange and bewildering afflictions can befall us.
Here's one we just stumbled up. Exploding Head Syndrome. EHS. We defy you to come up with a more dramatic name for an affliction.
Of all the ways this gives us pleasure, the best is that on the Wikipedia entry, it states at the top that this article "needs attention from an expert in Medicine."
Don't we all.
To clarify- this image is from David Cronenberg's Scanners. This does not actually happen when you have EHS.

Hello Everyone! I hope you are having a lovely Weekend. Jane here today. Our theme this week is 'Characters' so we will be sharing projects featuring some of our favourite Character stamps. I have always had a soft spot for Tiddlyinks stamps and have a lot of them in my stamps collection but don't ink them up enough! I have used the stamps from the 'My Boys' set on my card today and coloured the image in with my Promarkers to match the Bazzill basics from the Adventures pack.
My new sewing machine arrived this week so I used it for the first time to sew on this card. My sewing was a bit wonky so I went round the image frame twice. I got the hang of it better when I sewed along the edges of the sentiment strip.
Here is a close up of my coloured image. I used a mix of alcohol markers and then cut out the image leaving a small border before adding it to my card. Have a lovely Sunday!

Happy New Year! I've been waiting to say that for about six months now. While there is no guarantee 2010 will be any better than 2009, it always feels good to flip the calendar to a clean sheet, full of possibilities.
That said, looking forward I find loads of challenges (or opportunities if you prefer a positive outlook) ahead. The ongoing dialogue around the future of fuel, new pilot starts, the public perception of general aviation, amazingly insane proposed rules and regulations from the FAA, and aviation as a business are just some of what we'll be discussing in 2010 and beyond.
In 2009 we started a blog titled GAfuels written by Todd Petersen, Kent Misegades, and Dean Billings. Their backgrounds are varied and insights profound. Simply put, it is their belief that 80% of the GA fleet can be accommodated with the wide-spread availability of ethanol-free premium mogas. Their blog looks into the varied details of the complex fuels industry. I look forward to hearing from them, and the letters their blogs will generate, throughout the year.
New pilot starts is an ongoing discussion. On the FAA website, I found data about the student certificates issued, by month, for calendar years 1999-2008. It shows that 61,194 student certificates were issued in 2008. That was down from 66,953 in 2007 and 61,448 in 2006, but up from 53,675 in 2005.
You know, 60,000 new customers a year is a pretty good number. Perhaps instead of focusing so intently on acquiring new students, we should work harder to convert the customers we already have into bona fide certificated pilots and evangelists.
For many years now, we've all heard that aviation is getting older and we must attract younger blood. While I would certainly welcome 100,000 20- and 30-somethings, might I suggest we look for and attract ANY person who exhibits a desire to learn to fly? I've grown weary of the monotonous drumbeat of attracting young pilots. For an industry that exists primarily on the fringe, I would think it prudent to attract anyone interested (which I know we do, by the way), not just those younger than 40.
After all, I will turn 40 in 2010 and, with a wife I want to spend more time with, three kids (all of school age and their myriad activities who I also desire to spend more time with), two businesses that keep us fed, and little time for anything else, I keep asking myself: Why does the aviation industry want to attract me? I would take one 60-year-old with a lifelong passion, some disposable income and time over 10 people of my age and all the baggage that comes along with them.
Last year was particularly brutal for aviation in the eyes of the public. More intense and public scrutiny was directed to our industry in 2009 than I can recall in the recent past. There are many reasons for this, but it drives home the point that we all need to stick together to ensure our future.
Like many of our readers, I am dumbfounded by the lack of insight some of our regulators seem to possess. (Allow me to insert the standard disclaimer: There are many, many great and compassionate employees in the FAA, TSA, and DHS). However, few seem to be in any position of legitimate power. Case in point is the through-the-fence issue, which we've written about and linked to extensively on our LivingWithYourPlane.com website. For some reason, the FAA has it in its collective head that federally-obligated airports with residential neighbors who have access and want the airport to be there are worse than residential neighbors to the same airport without access who, at best, are ambivalent and, at worst, hostile to the existence of the airport. Huh?
Or what about security? A would-be terrorist who tried to detonate a bomb on his flight to Detroit on Christmas Day had how many red flags? And yet, those of us who house our planes and/or fly from airports with commercial airports are subject to onerous security even though we in GA have been tagged as NOT being a credible threat to national security. The government is always accused of being reactionary yet, in looking at GA, it is being proactive. Lucky us!
The business of aviation — whether making airplanes, selling insurance, training pilots, supplying parts, or the many other facets of this industry — is made up of dreamers and lifelong advocates. I've heard many people in our industry tell me being associated with aviation is better than working for a living. Despite all the challenges (or opportunities), I feel much the same. The people who make up general aviation are the reason I enjoy coming to our offices everyday. For all of you, Thank You!
I heard from many readers in 2009 who took issue with something we wrote (mostly about climate change, ethanol or at-large proposed legislation) in the pages of General Aviation News or on GeneralAviationNews.com. Most called or e-mailed to tell me they want General Aviation News to be their bastion of enjoyment away from all the doom and gloom of mainstream media. They come to aviation and General Aviation News to "get away from it all."
I hear you and, to a point, I agree, but if we ignore our place in society, we may find ourselves without a place altogether.
With that, may 2010 be the first of many prosperous years for all of us in general aviation. I promise we will re-double our efforts to make sure all of our content flows through our filter of informing, entertaining, or inspiring each of you. And if ever we fall down, don't hesitate to call me out.
Blue skies and tailwinds my friends. I look forward to seeing you around the country.

When are some gentiles not really gentiles, but Anusim passing as goyim? As a bat-Anusim, I can speak to this. As I noted before, Anusim often have uncommon surnames. As I once read (and, as I recall, even beforehand suspected about some of my own family), we made up surnames or took uncommon (or at least very-gentile ones) to avoid being (for a lack of a better term) "Jew hunted" in some cases. Even Katherine Ushinsky Gajdos—who should've Americanized her name "Uszinskyová" to "Usinsky" for being a Slovakian-Hungarian woman as she claimed—Americanized her name to "Ushinsky" (The Hungarian "sz" is just "s"; the Polish "sz" is "sh"; and Great-Granddad Gaydos [z"l] identified himself as "Russian".). She further Anusized by becoming "Maria Uscianski" to get into the Philadelphia port, and put "Keyde Usziansy" on her marriage license.
Also carrying their names with them when they became Anusim with the Levitical-Khazarate Foczkos (Also "Fockos"—since "c" in Slovakian is "ts", as it is in Polish and Hungarian. In Hungarian, as in Polish, "cz" is "tsh".). We left Warszawa, Lodz, and Radom when we became Anusim (Otherwise, we—even as Anusim, at least if we were found out—would not have been allowed outside of Russia-controlled Poland, even in pre-Pale days. We fled shortly before avinu Jozef Foczko [z"l] was born in Aranyida, and preferred to lived as Anusim in Szlovákia Magyaroszág than Yehudim in Polish Russia.). Who would know us in Szlovákia Magyaroszág, after all? We were comparable to the "Kerrys" in the United States—and after generations and in Westmoreland and Luzerne Counties, who knew our own secret? After all, Aranyida and Kassa hardly knew (and the ones who did know—besides us and our families, of course—were the families and in-law families of Kassa native György "Kvetkovits" Rusznak. Of course, I would—so to speak—bust the door open even for those of us in the family who did not know; but I wasn't born yet).
Not carrying names with them were those such as György "Kvetkovits" Rusznak, who adopted a neighboring family's name. After all, he'd be know as one of the Jewish Rusznaks if he didn't adopt another name, and even having an adopted and adapted surname didn't save a Jew from being known as a Jew if he was known to be of a Jewish family. Besides, Yoshua Rusnak would later born known for his work with Zionism, despite that his family had to adopt and adapt a Ruthenian name, and make it a shem shel Yisra'el—which could easily blow the cover of "acquitted to marry" György "Kvetkovits" Rusznak, Yoshua's Anusi cousin who lived just five hours away in Aranyida. Of course, then came the foolish move to save a foolish cover when we stopped writing to Yoshua's children and their side of the family—and we, to this day, are deservedly living with what we did by buffering their efforts at piku'ach nefesh.
Two other Jews who refused to carry names with them (if they even had names before) were Regina Jantozonková Czarnogurskyová (not Charnogursyková—please note that!) and her husband, Christophorus (By the way, "ch" in Hungarian is "cs"; whereas it is "tsh" in Polish.). It could've originally been "Charnogursky"—which makes no difference in Poland—before they fled ("Cz" and "Ch" in Polish are the same, but not Slovakian or Hungarian—as the example with which I came up shows; since using other vowels didn't just give me the sounds, but sometimes words—e.g., with "u" and "e". Try it yourself, though, if you won't believe me.).
So, the background should give you an idea about the Kopetchnys:
Now About the Kopechnes
- Their family name and variants thereof are uncommon (Use Ancestry.com and Google.com to test this for yourself.).
- They had "David"s in their family. Keep in mind that Eastern Europeans did not adopt and adapt Jewish names in those days—remember that the opposite and converse happened (i.e., Jews, especially Anusim, adopted and adapted gentile names.). After all, gentiles did not want to be taken for Jews—unless, of course, they converted to Judaism.
- They were apparently Moravian, but posed as Polish.
By the way, if the Kopetchnys (Kopechnes) were Anusim (as I suspect), it just proves once that that Satan goes after Anusim among Jews the most. After all, Satan hides our heritage from us and goes after us especially when we find out that we are Jewish and remain in Yeshua. Incidentally, Anusim (at least in my family) were attracted to small towns and counties like Wilkes-Barre and Luzerne County—and not feinshmeker cities and counties like Pittsburgh and Alleghany County—I suppose that that's part of why Anusim like us are (for a lack of a better term) the dirty little secret of and within the Jewish community.

Exploring The San Francisco Of "Vertigo"
Vertigo would have to be my favorite Hitchcock film that doesn't involve crossdressers or nazis. Despite the film starring two Hollywood powerhouses at the times — Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak — the real star of the flick is arguable the city it's set in, San Francisco. Has any movie played so crucial a role in a film since King Kong (or maybe Sex in the City)?
For those hardcore fans of Vertigo, the Sun-Times has this guide to exploring the San Francisco of the movie, including Hotel Vertigo (which appears in the movie but has only recently acquired that name), Fort Point at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge (where Madeleine hurls herself into the sea, and Scottie dives in to rescue her), and the the California Palace of the Legion of Honor (where Madeleine spends much time perusing art, and getting perused).
I might add, this self-guided tour is much less grueling than the King Kong tour which takes a great a deal of physical prowess and climbing ability.

Many types of convertible soft top damage can be repaired, either at home or by a professional upholstery repair shop. Typically the size and type of damage dictate whether it is more cost effective to repair or replace the convertible top.
Straight-line cuts or tears that are less than 12 inches in length are generally easy repairs, made by sewing or gluing the damage back together. Canvas patch kits and vinyl repair kits are available for covering larger areas or jagged tears in a soft top. The type of material used in the roof's construction dictates the type of kit needed.

Two Baruch College Undergraduates Receive American Humanics' Academic Awards for 2007-08
New York, NY - May 23, 2007—Two Baruch College undergraduates were recognized for their academic achievement by a nationally renowned organization that provides training to future nonprofit professionals. Each winner will each receive a $1,000 award for her winning application to the American Humanics Academic Awards program for the 2007-08 academic year. A third Baruch student received an honorable mention as well.
The two winners and the honorable mention respectively, are:
- Eila Voloshen – A sophomore majoring in Public Affairs
- Sabine Gbetoho – A junior majoring in Public Affairs
- Rosa Cruz – A junior majoring in Public Affairs
The Baruch student winners were among 20 nationally. All of the winners have a 3.0 or higher GPA and wrote an essay on why they should receive this award.
American Humanics is a national alliance of over 75 colleges and universities and more than 50 nonprofit organizations that prepares and certifies college students for careers in youth and human service agencies.
Professor Stan Altman, who initiated the relationship between Baruch and American Humanics and is also a former dean of Baruch's School of Public Affairs, noted, "Our students have done it again! This is another example of how well they measure up to their peers at other colleges and universities."
Baruch students are no strangers to accolades from American Humanics; earlier this month, three Baruch undergraduates were awarded grants of $4,500 by the organization's newly created Next Generation Nonprofit Leaders Program to support their field experience through internships in a nonprofit organization. In January, six Baruch College students participated in AH's 2007 Management Institute, a nonprofit management educational symposium held in Washington, DC that is considered to be the capstone professional development experience for students enrolled in the American Humanics nonprofit management program.

Astronaut Chris Hadfield performs David Bowie's "Space Oddity" in microgravity.
Commander Chris Hadfield is a great many things: a photographer, an educator, a social media maven — did I forget to mention astronaut? And it's with great delight that we add troubadour to the laundry list.
That his music video — a cover of David Bowie's "Space Oddity" — has already scored 6.9 million hits is a testament to his success as a great popularizer of science and space. Complete with slow blinks, a floating guitar and some liberties taken with the lyrics, it is also the first music video ever made in zero gravity — that's no small feat.
Lesser known, but just as fun to watch, is this song Hadfield performed with hundreds of students at Canada's Ontario Science Centre. It's called "Is Somebody Singing," a play on the International Space Station letters, and co-written by Hadfield and the Barenaked Ladies' front man Ed Robertson.
From the International Space Station, Chris Hadfield performs a song with students at the Ontario Science Center.
Early Tuesday, Hadfield emerged from a few days of rare Twitter silence to inform his 915,000 Twitter followers that he is now "back on Earth, happily readapting to the heavy pull of gravity," and we thought we'd use this opportunity to highlight some of his extracurricular activities in space.
He sent thousands of tweets, often multiple times a day. Many of them showcased various parts of the world from space — "the southwest corner of Africa," "a mining town in northern China" or "Belfast, at the mouth of the River Lagan." And many many shots of his homeland: Canada.
Some of them read like poetry, like this:
Clouds swoop in on Crimea, a white bird on the Black Sea. twitter.com/Cmdr_Hadfield/…
— Chris Hadfield (@Cmdr_Hadfield) May 13, 2013
And this:
Mississippi delta – heartland topsoil flowing relentlessly into the Gulf of Mexico. twitter.com/Cmdr_Hadfield/…
— Chris Hadfield (@Cmdr_Hadfield) May 7, 2013
He gave nearly hourly updates during this week's spacewalk to fix an ammonia leak. He posted photos of the station's "refrigerator art." And there was the time he "secretly" told his 900,000 Twitter followers that he'd ordered flowers for his mom. She wouldn't know, he said. She's not on Twitter.
And he used video updates to educate people on daily life in space: How the body adapts to weightlessness, what happens when you wring out a wet washcloth and detecting smells in microgravity.
Two days ago, he posted a final picture on Twitter, a "spaceflight finale," he called it. The caption was fitting for his final hours moments on the ISS.
Spaceflight finale: To some this may look like a sunset. But it's a new dawn. twitter.com/Cmdr_Hadfield/…
— Chris Hadfield (@Cmdr_Hadfield) May 13, 2013
On Monday, at 10:30 p.m. EDT, Hadfield and flight engineers Tom Marshburn and Roman Romanenko landed safely in Kazakhstan after spending five months — 146 days — in space. You can watch the landing here:

'The Internship' Trailer – What's the Song?
The trailer for the new film 'The Internship' kicks off with some contemporary hip hop tunes, but is soon overtaken by the familiar riff of 'Paradise City' from Guns N' Roses.
The film stars Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson as two salesmen whose careers have been dead ended by the digital age. The duo work their way into an internship at Google, where they find themselves competing with the younger, more tech-savvy for a position, at which point, of course, wacky hi-jinx ensue.
The use of the classic 1987 anthem represents the old guard going up against the new as the stars try to find their footing in the modern age. We can relate! As for GNR, they adapted to a post-'Appetite' existence some time ago. Axl Rose and cohorts are still out there doing their thing, which includes headlining this years Rocklahoma Festival.

As Cameron Highlands is a lot cooler temperature wise, we decided on steamboat, otherwise known as 'hot pot' in Hong Kong. It was full of delicious vegetables and the broth was delicious, it was the perfect combination for the cold weather too. I tried my first 'white sweetcorn' which I ate raw, it was crispy and sweet leaving a lingering starchy texture. After lunch, we drove back down to Ipoh to hear our Sifu host a talk in the evening. But before that, we got taken to a remote district a little outside the main city of Ipoh and had
That kind of rounds off my few days in Malaysia, as you can tell from all the pictures, I ate all the food. Malaysia exceeded my expectations too, the food was delicious, people were nice and helpful and we were extremely lucky to be driven around as well as shown around everything. If you were ever hesitating about visiting Malaysia, push those fears away now! Delicious affordable food, cosy streets, beautiful historical buildings, what else do you need? I will most definitely go back again, hopefully to some new destinations too!

This past Sunday, I headed out to my favorite bi-annual vintage toy show that takes place right here in scenic Seattle, Washington every April and October. I always come away with some cool stuff and this time around was especially epic in regards to my toy haul. So, expect to see several posts about all of my loot from this show for the next few days.
One of the finds that isn't exactly a toy, but simply radiates a warm miasma of nostalgia nonetheless are these absolutely pristine packs of Garbage Pail Kids Giant Stickers from 1986. These hail from a time when I, like all of my friends, we downright crazy about collecting Garbage Pail Kids stickers and I have a vivid memory of one of my best friends back then buying a couple of packs of these and him giving me one that had an image of a see-through kid that said It Takes Guts to be a Garbage Pail Kid, which I promptly unpeeled and slapped onto the dead-center front of my drawing folder (basically a Trapper Keeper folder with all of my loose sheets of artwork in it).
The guy I bought them from sold them to me for a whole buck a piece, and considering that they were that price in 1986, that's not a bad deal.
The stickers are basically postcard sized reproductions of some of their more popular artwork with added corny jokes. To be honest, most of these are total groaners and I think they should have just reprinted the cards as they were in the larger format and kids would have still been stoked.
By the way, anyone remember those GPK buttons? Man, I had like 6 of those on my backpack in 8th grade.
The are definitely cool and all, and totally worth the $2 I paid for both packs, but the one thing that made this purchase an epic score was when I was fanning through the second pack I opened to find this baby...
BOO-YA! Nostalgia BOMB!

Family fun pools are where fantastic memories are created. We have some great games that we've heard about and have played with our own families, and we hope that your friends and family enjoy them too.
Catch the Swimmer
For this ring toss style of game, noodle owners can turn their pool noodles into a "ring" shape and then attempt to "catch" someone in the pool by tossing a ring over his or her head, arm, leg, or any other body part.
MAKING A NOODLE RING: Take a toilet paper tube and cut it lengthwise. Roll it up and insert it into the hollow of your pool noodle. Attach the other end of the noodle to form a ring, secure it with duct tape, and you're set!
Go Fish
One player, with his or her eyes closed, stands in the pool or sits upon the edge of the pool and holds the noodle so that it's touching the water. Once the one player with the noodle pole shouts, "Gone Fishin'!" , the other players will dash, splash and swim around, attempting to avoid the one players' moving noodle. When the fisherman calls, "Got a fish!" after tapping a player with the noodle, that player then becomes the new fisherman.
The Pool Noodle Limbo
This game is for the avid divers in your group. Two people will start off by holding the pool noodle straight on the surface of the water with divers diving beneath it. With each successful group of divers the pool noodle will be gradually pushed lower, forcing the divers to dive lower and lower to swim underneath it. The person who dives the deepest wins!
Chicken Noodle
Much like the classic chicken fight pool game, the goal of this game in family fun pools is to knock your opponent off of his or her noodle. Both players can straddle or sit upon the noodle anyway they see fit and then work to knock the other player off balance. Whoever stays on the longest wins!
The Noodle Paddle
In this game, players lay on their noodles as they would a surfboard and then attempt to paddle themselves across the water of family fun pools using only their arms while still staying balanced. Whoever makes it to the other end first is the winner!
Take a look at Tampa Bay Pools' top 10 favorite pool designs of 2014!
With 2014 now in the books, we thought it would be fun to take a look back and share ten of our favorite pool designs. Making our list for a variety of reasons, these pools showcase a range of design features we love such as fire bowls, infinity edges, awesome waterslides and inviting outdoor fireplaces. They also illustrate that almost any home on any lot can accommodate a pool. So be prepared to be inspired as you scroll through photos of the following ten pools, and please feel free to visit our photo gallery and create your own favorites list!
First up, is this entertaining paradise! Featuring a full outdoor kitchen with bar seating, multiple dining tables, and a separate covered living area complete with dual-sided fireplace and television entertainment system, this space can accommodate tons of guests and provide plenty of areas for them to congregate comfortably. Notice how the fire bowls enliven the pool by night and make an evening swim or a soak in the spa seem so inviting. And that huge open entry in the home's back wall makes inside and outside practically inseparable. We would accept invitations anytime!
Check out the organic look of the coping on this nature lover's pool. Combined with the mystery of a dark interior finish, the effect is reminiscent of a natural stone swimming hole.
We love how both the infinity edge of the spa and the fire bowls draw the eye beyond a graceful iron railing to the stately trees and manicured lawn of this genteel Southern estate.
Pool number four never ceases to catch our attention with its raised spa and seating area tucked artfully between the water and lush tropical planting.
This is bay living at its finest with an infinity edged pool that enhances rather than competes with the view of the water.
An interesting, rounded triangle shape proves that a pool can not only fit but complement almost any lot!
This clean, modern beauty uses matching white tile, coping, and decking to make geometric simplicity the star of the show.
Who wouldn't want to spend every evening basking in the double warmth of this cozy spa and fireplace? And that generous Baja ledge is the perfect place to do a little sun worshipping during the day.
We can't get enough of the way the infinity edged pool and potted trees bring this hillside lot right into the woods!
We saved or absolute favorite for last with this amazing pool! Tampa Bay Pools' designers totally nailed this seating island in the middle of the pool accessed by a refined little wooden bridge. Loungers can converse across the water with others enjoying the raised spa or catching some rays on the Baja ledge. If that's not cool enough, the kid in all of us can't wait to zoom down that incredible, two-story corkscrew waterslide! Can we move in here? Please?
Thanks for taking this virtual walk with us through some of our favorite recent projects. For more information about our construction process, please click here. We would love for our next favorite pool to be built in your backyard. So, to get started with the pool and spa you and your family have been dreaming of, click here or give us a call today to schedule your own in-home design consultation!
A quality swimming pool enclosure can help you enjoy your pool in safety and with less effort all year round!
Would you like to swim securely year-round, virtually pest free? How about reducing your family's exposure to UV rays and your pools chemical requirements, and dramatically slashing maintenance time? At Tampa Bay Pools, we are frequently asked by customers if they should invest in a screen enclosure. While customer needs vary greatly because of lifestyle and location factors, we generally advise weighing the following benefits.
Every Central Florida resident knows that our climate can be both a blessing and a curse. Many of us choose to live here because our blessedly mild winters allow us to enjoy the outdoors free of ice, snow and their associated unpleasantness. With a swimming pool enclosure, you can even enjoy your swimming pool in the coolest months in relative comfort! Utilizing the warm rays of the sun, a custom enclosure creates a greenhouse effect that keeps your pool environment warmer than outside and even lessens heat loss from pool water during the evening hours. And in the peak of summer when temperatures are nearly unbearable, an enclosure can provide shade while screen panels make the most of cooling breezes to keep your pool water an inviting retreat from the heat.
In addition, our pool enclosures' UV blocking materials protect you and your loved ones from the dangers of the sun's most harmful rays. Not to mention how they cut your monthly chemical expenses since unfiltered UV rays burn up chlorine molecules. Have you have ever been concerned about who may access your pool when you're not at home? If you worry about your liability for the death or injury of wandering children or other unauthorized intruders, a swimming pool enclosure may give you much needed peace of mind. Equipped with lockable entries, swimming pool enclosures keep undesired visitors out, and protect you and yours from predators while enjoying your pool area.
Another way you may need protection is from annoying and even dangerous insects and wildlife. Just imagine enjoying the outdoors free from Florida's pesky mosquitos! Ants, roaches and spiders can certainly put a damper on enjoying the water as well as clog up pool filters and make for nasty surprises when emptying skimmers. And whether you live in a rural area or even in the middle of a suburb, wild animals such as rodents, frogs, snakes and even alligators can be unexpected guests. A quality swimming pool enclosure keeps out everything from these creepy critters to the neighbors' cats!
Finally, who wouldn't want a cleaner pool with less hassle? Most pool owners agree that the only downside to owning a pool can be the maintenance and upkeep required to keep it enjoyable. By shielding your pool from leaves, grass clipping and other organic debris, and by filtering out windblown dirt and pollen, a pool enclosure can virtually eliminate the need for skimming, reduce the frequency of emptying skimmers and filter baskets, and even keep your filter cleaner longer.
If these advantages to installing a custom swimming pool enclosure seem appealing to you, don't wait another day! Give the experts at Tampa Bay Pools a call for your in-home estimate, and increase the enjoyment you get from your pool and spa.
Make the most of spring this year with these 8 gardening ideas for your Tampa backyard!
With the coming of Spring, most of us feel more drawn to the outdoors. Days are getting longer, temperatures are at their most pleasant, and everything begins to bloom and grow again. Start planning ahead now with these 8 ideas for making the most of your Tampa-area backyard.

Even the most beautiful and luxurious of gardens is incomplete without a place from which to enjoy it. If seating areas and walkways seem to be lacking in your backyard, now is the perfect time to design and install them. From gravel to concrete, from natural stone to tile, hardscape options are available in a wide variety of price ranges and in styles to suit every taste.

Central Florida's balmy spring season is a great time to go lavish with the seasonal color. Milder warm temperatures and no more risk of frost, allows tons of flowering or otherwise showy plants to thrive, including begonias, verbena, salvia, dusty miller, cockscomb, moss rose, and zinnias! So go raid your local nursery and get creative with layers of color and texture. Then be sure to take time to enjoy the roses. Or phlox. Or Impatiens. You get the idea!

Statistically, irrigation of lawns and gardens accounts for the largest use of Florida's municipal water supplies. You can minimize your irrigation needs by taking such measures as installing a professional sprinkler system programmed to water only the amount of time necessary, and by running the system an hour before dawn to allow soil to absorb water before the sun rays cause it to evaporate. Also, consider hardscape options such as eco-pavers that allow water to quickly sink into the sub-soil, and apply a fresh layer of mulch in beds to minimize evaporation.
(Zannah Crowe, MonchesFarm.com)
One dynamic way to keep water and fertilizer usage in check is to opt for plants that are native to central Florida. Avoiding the extra propagation measures needed for non-native plant life to thrive is a great method of keeping your property sustainable, minimizing your impact on the local environment. Check out 9 compelling reasons to go native over at FloridaYards.org, a project of the Florida Springs Initiative of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. (Psst, their site features lots of cool resources such as a handy Florida-friendly Plant Database that makes selecting flowers, shrubs and other native plants a snap!)
Characterized by their thick, fleshy, drought-tolerant leaves and stems, succulents are perfectly suited to survive in our area. They thrive best when provided with excellent drainage, so potting them in a commercially available soil mix specifically designed for succulents and cacti works well. Requiring virtually no maintenance, succulents are the perfect way to bring big visual impact to even a small space. For an informative introduction to some of the most popular varieties, watch this video from the queen of all things green, Martha Stewart.

To get the most outdoor enjoyment through the evening hours, consider investing in a landscape lighting system. Today's landscape lights are available in a variety of styles for every application, and many even offer the compact brilliance and energy efficiency of long-life LED bulbs. Eliminate the risk of navigating pathways or stairs in the dark. Highlight specimen plants or architectural elements, and add ambiance to seating areas. You will be amazed how a few simple lights tucked discreetly throughout your yard can amp up the drama and sophistication of outdoor entertaining as well as contributing to the overall security of your home.

One particular benefit of our Florida climate is the ability to grow a wide variety of things edible. Planting such things as mangos, avocados, bananas, and of course, citruses such as oranges and lemons is a great way to enjoy the "fruits" of your labor. Look to your local nursery for advice on which varietals to plant and how best to nurture them. Also, don't forget about other easy-to-grow edibles such as tomatoes and herbs that can be grown in containers and used to grace your table nearly year round!
(rr graphic design)
Finally, make this the year that you explore some all natural options for fertilization. Chemically formulated commercial fertilizers, though capable of producing phenomenal results, can have an adverse effect on local wildlife such as bee populations, and through run-off have become a leading cause of toxicity in lakes and streams. Consider turning your own organic waste products like grass clippings and fruit and vegetable scraps into nutrient-rich compost that you can till into soil in planting beds and even spread throughout lawns. Pinterest is a treasure trove of inspiration for crafting your own backyard composters that require very little space like our favorite pictured about. For more information about composting, check out the awesome infographic here.

Chance now for fringe men to shine
O'Byrne Cup: Dublin v DCU Dóchas éireann, Parnell Park, Tomorrow, 2.0
What we know about Dublin is this.
Paul Clarke will manage them tomorrow, aided by Jim Brogan, when a team representing the county and wearing the jersey start the O'Byrne Cup against DCU in Parnell Park.
A group of players, few of whom played any part in last year's All-Ireland or League successes, have this week begun training under the instruction of Bryan Cullen.
The rest - including management - are currently on holiday in Jamaica, a much later trip than last year on account of the 2016 season ending three weeks later than the previous one.
By consequence, there will be very few All-Ireland medalists participating in this year's O'Byrne Cup unless Dublin go on to the semi-final and final.
Even than, it's unlikely we'll see Dublin anything close to their true guise until their League opener in Cavan on February 5.
What significance that has on their ability to add to their remarkable record of four League titles in the past four years is open to interpretation.
Last year, Éamonn Fitzmaurice noted how hungry Dublin looked on the first night of the competition when his team were again beaten in Croke Park, despite their very obvious scope for early-season motivation.
Spring might take a while to heat up for Dublin this year.
But that's for another day.
As it is, we won't know the scope of Clarke's pick until tomorrow afternoon.
A significant portion of that training panel are tied up with their colleges, rendering them unavailable
One of them is Jack McCaffrey; the 2015 Footballer of the Year, the man who won it all by the age of 22 and decided to take a breather from football in the form of a volunteering trip to Africa last summer.
Having been vocal in his wish to get back in, he is defintely a man to watch in this year's League.
Anyone wishing to watch him tomorrow though, will have to take a trip to Gorey, where he will captain UCD in the other match in Group A of the O'Byrne Cup.
We should, however, see Conor McHugh.
He scored 2-4 on New Year's Day in the annual Dublin Bus/Herald Dubs Stars challenge and though currently studying in DCU, he is ineligible for their Sigerson team and thus unable to play for his college in this competition either. It's a serious opportunity for the silky skilled Na Fianna man.In the 2014 All-Ireland U21 final, he was top scorer (1-6 from play) and Man of the Match in Dessie Farrell's team's victory over Roscommon, outshining the performances of his inside forward colleagues, Paul Mannion and Cormac Costello.
Since then, both of those have gone on to big things at senior level where McHugh has stalled. Indeed the likes of Con O'Callaghan and Colm Basquel have pushed their way into a more advanced spot in the snaking queue of inside forwards vying for Jim Gavin's attention, so McHugh needs this opportunity as much as anymore.
Conor Mullaly, who expertly played as sweeper in that Dublin U21 success and like McHugh, spent a brief period on Gavin's squad last year, should also line out here for his county, having been granted an O'Byrne Cup leave of absence from UCD.
DCU won this competition in 2010 and 2012 and remain the only college to do so, though they are currenty in something of a rennovation period.
Last year's Sigerson Cup final loss to UCD was the end of a cycle and the final year of a team and having decided himself to step down as manager, Niall Moyna has reversed that call.
Former Sigerson winners, Dermot Sheridan and Mickey Quinn have come on board as selectors.
Moyna is without holidaying trio Paddy Durcan and Diarmuid O'Connor (Mayo) and Tipperary's Steven O'Brien, though his team on paper still packs plenty of attacking punch.
Roscommon's Ultan Harney, Enda Smith and Donie Smith are joined by Sligo ace Niall Murphy while Kildare's Kevin Feely is also available.
Like Dublin though, tomorrow is more about getting the legs moving again than results.

Understanding Chemotherapy: Choosing Your Cancer Weapons
Chemotherapy is, for some, scarier than the thought of cancer. While the cancer grew slowly in your body, and sometimes has no symptoms, we are all painfully aware of the side effects of chemotherapy: loss of color in the skin, hair loss, memory loss, fatigue, nausea...
Taking chemotherapy to fight cancer, is like asking your weakened body to fight two enemies at the same time. We are prepared to fight cancer, but our body is also fighting the chemotherapy - to the point where we want to reject it - we don't want it, and we fight with ourselves just to get in for our treatment.
That's not the feeling we want to have for something that is there to 'cure' us. It's a far cry from the idea of healing, nurturing, restoring our health.
So, although chemotherapy has become a standard treatment for cancer, it is not a decision to be taken lightly. Like everything else, it is ONE weapon against cancer.
As you prepare for battle, choose your weapons wisely. If you feel that your treatment will do more harm than good, then meet with as many doctors as you can to get a number of opinions.
As of now, our cancer treatment is still our choice. It's a difficult battle - educate yourself - know your options - make sure you are fighting in the way that works best for YOU.

NEW DELHI - The Rajasthan High Court has directed the Indian government to immediately implement a rule for bigger health warnings on tobacco packaging, months after the measure was put on hold pending a report from a parliamentary panel.
With the aim of reducing tobacco consumption, India last year said 85 percent of a cigarette packet's surface should be covered in warnings, up from about 20 percent now. The directive also extended to other tobacco products.The government in March deferred the implementation of the rule as a parliamentary panel said it was still reviewing how the industry would be impacted.
A court order, issued last week and seen by Reuters on Friday, directed the Indian government to implement the new rules. The government will have four weeks to reply.
Health activists argue the introduction of large-scale graphic health warnings on cigarette packets will reduce smoking in India, where up to 900,000 die every year from tobacco-related diseases.
India ranks 136th out of 198 countries that use health warnings to deter smokers, according to the Canadian Cancer Society.
Earlier this year, anti-tobacco campaigners criticised the decision by the parliamentary panel to delay implementing the health warnings, particularly after some of its members said there was no link between tobacco and cancer.
Lok Sabha MP Shyama Charan Gupta, who owns a tobacco business and is a member of that panel, told Reuters on Friday he does not support bigger health warnings.
"Increasing or decreasing warnings will not get us anything," Gupta said. He declined to comment on the state court's decision.
Health Minister J.P. Nadda has so far supported the new rules publicly, but said they would only be implemented after the parliamentary panel submits its report. Gupta said the panel could take up to 45 days to finalise the report.
The tobacco industry has labelled the new rules as "drastic" and "impractical".

Bernard Williams
- The Therapy of Desire: Theory and Practice in Hellenistic Ethics by Martha Nussbaum
Princeton, 558 pp, £22.50, June 1994, ISBN 0 691 03342 0
This is a book about therapeutic philosophy, the philosopher as doctor. It is a historical work, concerned with the schools of philosophy that developed in the Hellenistic period, the period in which, after the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC, Greek culture adapted itself to existing in the large and loosely organised states that took the place of the independent city-states in which most Greek life had gone on in the Classical period. These schools continued to develop and to have influence in the Roman world, and indeed some of the principal sources on which Martha Nussbaum draws in her rich and interesting book were written in Latin. It is a work of scholarship, with many references and exegetical notes, but Nussbaum makes it very clear throughout that she regards the issues raised by these ancient styles of philosophy as urgent for us, and she sets out her claim for this in a fluent, unpedantic, and sometimes emotionally urgent style which invites us to get close to what these long dead teachers may have had at heart.
Hellenistic philosophy is often called 'post-Aristotelian' philosophy, and Nussbaum takes Aristotle (who died a year after Alexander) as the starting-point, setting out his ethical outlook as a kind of bench-mark. She claims for him, as she has in many other writings, a rather more open-minded and exploratory humanism than some people find in him; and she gives reasons for starting from him rather than from what one might have thought the more obvious choice of Plato, the true parent of therapeutic philosophy. She then leads us through the arguments, aims and procedures of the Epicureans, the Sceptics and the Stoics. It is rather sad, as Nussbaum herself says, that she has not given us the Cynics, a movement (if it amounted even to that) of ill-behaved malcontents, represented by the famous figure of Diogenes, who is said to have lived in a barrel and to have told Alexander to get out of his light. She may be right in saying that we know too little for them to fit into her plan.
Nussbaum introduces a character who is imagined as moving between the various schools of philosophy, a young woman named Nikidion whom Nussbaum has retrieved from an ancient source in which she is mentioned as one of several courtesans with whom Epicurus was said by an enemy to have had a relationship. Despite this promising start, it must be said that Nikidion is a slightly creaky device who barely earns her keep in the narrative, since there is not much that can be kept constant about her as she takes up one course of therapy after another over the centuries. (At the beginning, when she is in Aristotle's school, she has to be a man, since he made his views about women as thinkers excessively clear.)
Nikidion takes part in the educational procedures of each school, always being offered one or another philosophical therapy for her passions, her fear of death, her trivial attachments, or (in the case of the Sceptics) her mere desire to know anything at all. What exactly has to be cured is somewhat different in each case, and Nussbaum skilfully brings out ways in which the concerns of each school define both a distinctive mode of treatment and a distinctive conception of what needs treating. In all the schools, however, what the pupil is thought to need and is taken to be seeking is peace: ataraxia, as it was called, freedom from emotional disturbance. This objective itself Nussbaum, not surprisingly, finds problematic. Equally problematic is the idea that it can be pursued by philosophical means.
Nussbaum's account is given largely in terms of philosophies: most of the material consists of reconstructions of what was taught by teachers who had these various allegiances. The reconstruction is itself a very difficult undertaking. No work by any of the leading figures survives except in fragments, and we rely on reports or on works which may be complete – and indeed, in the case of Lucretius' poem, which is a main source for Epicureanism, outstanding – but which are not direct products of the schools. Moreover, the 'schools' themselves are to some extent the construct of people, in the ancient world and more recently, discussing views which were handed on, modified and mixed together over long periods of time. These technical problems are well-known, and Nussbaum both points them out and addresses them resourcefully, even if the result is perhaps to make contrasts between the different approaches rather starker than they should be.

A horrible decision in the UK....
Human rights gone crazy....
Strange things happen in the English law, but I have seldom read a stranger opening to a judgment than the following, handed down this week by Lord Philips of Worth Matravers, the President of the Supreme Court.
"The seventh chapter of the Book of Deuteronomy records the following instructions given by Moses to the people of Israel, after delivering the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai," Lord Philips began. Then he plunged into how God, having smitten the enemies of Israel – Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites – in a manner highly satisfactory to the Jews, now demanded that His people observe proper marriage customs in return.
How did a question which involved only God and the Jews, and which was decided roughly 3,500 years ago, come before Lord Philips and his eight fellow jurists sitting in 21st-century London?
The answer is that sacred text of modern times, the Race Relations Act of 1976. The Jewish Free School (JFS), a very successful secondary school in Brent, is run along Orthodox Jewish lines. A dispute arose about the admission of a boy known as M. M's mother became Jewish by conversion, but only after giving birth to M. According to Orthodox rules (see that chapter of Deuteronomy), Jewishness passes through the female line. M, therefore, was not Jewish, and so did not have the right of admission to the JFS.
The Supreme Court, however, decided by a majority of five to four that the decision to exclude M was in contravention of section one of the Race Relations Act. He was excluded on racial grounds, it held.
This is a rather big decision. Lord Rodger, one of the dissenting judges, said that it "leads to such extraordinary results, and produces such manifest discrimination against Jewish schools in comparison with other faith schools, that one cannot help feeling that something has gone wrong".
Actually, it goes wider than that. The court is effectively saying that a religion's way of defining its own membership, practised over 3,500 years, is illegal. This is an acute problem for Jews, who are at great pains to maintain their own rules while respecting the law of the land. It will also be used by anti-Jewish groups, which are growing in strength, to bolster their argument that Judaism is racist and that the state of Israel is the equivalent of apartheid South Africa. So the Race Relations Act, set up to help minorities, ends up punishing them.
I would argue that the judgment goes wider still. It is part of a current idea of equality and of human rights which, in the name of freedom, is beginning to look like tyranny.
When you set out general principles about equal treatment for all, regardless of race, religion, sex, age etc, people will tend to agree with them. It is a liberal principle that all are equal before the law, and a Christian principle that all are equal in the sight of God.
But when you frame endless laws according to these universal principles, you run into difficulties. It may be "discriminatory" for a Jewish/Catholic/Muslim school to prefer to employ Jewish/Catholic/Muslim teachers, but isn't it also reasonable? Isn't it fair and natural that a religious school should be free to prefer to admit children from the relevant faith, in order to maintain the ethos which is so important to its success as a school? By what morality are such things wrong?
The human rights culture which now dominates our law believes in its own morality. It sets itself above the varied experience of civilisation, and above the idea of independent nations. It decides that rights can be codified for everyone and can be applied everywhere. It is not a coincidence that our highest court has just changed its name from the House of Lords to the Supreme Court: it considers itself supreme indeed. This "human-rights" morality is much more coercive than it purports to be.
One controversial example is homosexuality. All the main faiths put heterosexual married love above homosexual acts, yet our human rights culture makes it illegal to do this. Catholic agencies are forbidden to handle children for adoption unless they will bestow them on gay couples as readily as married ones.
Another example relates to terrorism. Common sense would suggest that a nation which decides that a foreigner is trying to foment violence in this country should be free to expel him. But universal human rights, as now interpreted, forbid this if the suspect might be tortured in his home country.
A third relates to charity. Until 2006, it had been accepted from time immemorial that the advancement of religion or education was a charitable purpose. Under the Charities Act of 2006, however, this assumption was removed. All charities now have to prove that they serve a "public benefit", and the Charity Commission decides what that benefit is, according to criteria which it calls "modern". These are hard to understand, but they appear to involve social engineering. Woe betide the charity which provides fee-paying education.

WOODBURY — First responders, community members and elected officials have all gathered in the unseasonably warm sunshine this week to learn about transportation safety, from what to do in the event of an overturned tanker truck or hazardous material spill to how to handle a leak in compressed gas cylinders and train accidents.
A part of the 2013 North East Training Tour, which is sponsored by Dow Chemical and TRANSCAER (Transportation Community Awareness and Emergency Response), training sessions are being held at Woodbury's train terminal this week for any interested party.
"Whether commodities are shipped by rail or by truck, in the event of a transportation incident this will get them more prepared," said Mike Stephenson, TRANSCAER's coordinator for New Jersey.
Participants can visit six different training modules — railcar anatomy, chlorine safety, capping kits, leaks, tank trucks and toxic inhalation and flammable gas — throughout a day. Training sessions will be held daily from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. through Sunday.
Representatives from Dana Trucking, Conrail, Dow Chemical, Kuehne Chemical and the Chemistry Council will all be available to run lessons or answer questions.
This training tour, which will visit Bristol, Pa., Piscataway and Staten Island in the next few months, occurs each year, but has previously suffered from low attendance, according to Neil Ferrone, a representative for Conrail. However, the first two days of training in Woodbury this week saw at least 40 individuals each day attend, a vast improvement over past years.
"Members of the community might just want the awareness module, but a first responder might want to go through all the cars," Ferrone said. "There are no rules. This is just a good way, by a lot of excellent companies, to share their resources."
Gary Stevenson, deputy fire chief for Paulsboro's volunteer fire department and a Paulsboro Council member, attended the training session Thursday with other members of his fire department in order to learn as much as possible about the materials and forms of transportation that go through their town.
In November, when a train derailed over Jefferson Street Bridge in Paulsboro, spilling a dangerous gas into the air, the fire department were some of the first on the scene, but dealing with toxic chemicals and a derailed and destroyed train are not things that are part of regular training seminars, so the group attended TRANSCAER's session to gain that knowledge.
"We can't help ourselves or the town if we don't know what's in the cars, what to do if there's a leak or how the car is made," Stevenson said. "If it ever happens again (a train derailment), we will know better now. If you are a fire chief and have trains coming through your town, there is no reason not to be at this training session."
The sessions are available to anyone and will be located at the railroad depot at 455 S. Barber St., Woodbury through Sunday.

It didn't bother us at the time. Infact we were quite pleased that everything was neutral and we didn't have to 'fix' anything.
But over time (and especially since we've decided we're not moving) I have really started to dislike the brown and the beige.
I need colour! And character. There's nothing wrong with beige but it's just not very exciting is it. And I want to live in a house I love and not in a house I just like.
Slowly we've been saying goodbye to the brown.
First, the cubby.
|The pink didn't last long
|Deciding which colour
|Dulux Straw. LOVE.
|Dulux Cream with Lime White trim
|Formerly BROWN IKEA highchair
|Bookcase (formerly BROWN timber)
|Erin's bookcase (formerly BROWN MDF)
I have grand plans but (lack of) time and an ultra conservative brown-liking husband are my two biggest hurdles.

Role of gp91phox Homolog Nox1 in Induction of Premalignant Spindle Phenotypes of HPV 16 E6/E7—Immortalized Human Keratinocytes
Internal Medicine IV, Department of Gastroenterology and Infectious Disease, University Heidelberg Hospital, Germany
Received 24 February 2010; Revised 3 June 2010; Accepted 6 June 2010
Academic Editor: Dave Lambeth
Copyright © 2010 Walee Chamulitrat.
The NADPH oxidase (Nox) family of superoxide- and hydrogen peroxide—producing proteins has been recognized as important for signal transduction that regulates receptor-mediated functions, including cytoskeleton remodeling, cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, and cell death. Nox1 was the first of the Nox catalytic subunits to be cloned and shown to induce tumorigenic conversion of mouse fibroblasts. While Nox1 has been shown to be expressed in human colon and prostate cancers, however, limited studies have demonstrated the involvement of Nox1 in an early step of cell transformation. The aim of this review is to provide an overview on the role of Nox1 in cancer, as well as the contribution of our studies to demonstrate the involvement of Nox1 on neoplastic progression of human keratinocytes beyond the immortalization step. The generation of spindle phenotypes concomitant with anchorage-independent growth and invasiveness will be highlighted and discussed in relation to the possible role of Nox1 in epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Understanding these mechanisms may provide insight into Nox1 and redox signaling components as potential therapeutic targets to inhibit tumor progression.

Retailers to feel pinch as buyers log on for Cyber Monday deals
Retailers are due to feel the pinch today as shoppers look to take advantage of Cyber Monday deals.
However, the Dublin Chamber of Commerce believes that the new trend of super sales will not last.
There are fewer products on sale in good quantities during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend according to the Chamber's Graeme McQueen. He played down the hype of the sales saying there was "a lot of noise from Black Friday" but less stock on sale compared with last year.
Mr McQueen also said that retailers are trying to get away from the big sales as the "market has forced their hand."
He added that there is a place for online and traditional shopping and that "retailers will be hoping to go back to normal in the future" as he sees trends changing in coming years.
Mr McQueen's comments come as figures show Irish retailers are losing out on €4.5bn annually in online shopping, according to research carried out by Amarach for Virgin Media.
The research said that Irish consumers spend €7.5bn online every year. However, just 40pc of this is spent on Irish online retailers leaving €4.5bn going abroad.
Meanwhile, Jobs Minister Mary Mitchell O'Connor will today tell her European counterparts she wants an end to so-called 'geo-blocking' that sees Irish online shoppers pay more when buying from foreign websites.
She said the practice was "unfair" and current lack of regulation left shoppers "paying over the odds".
Geo-blocking means that shoppers are charged different prices on websites based on their nationality or purchasing location.
Shoppers are prevented from accessing cheaper prices on different versions of a seller's website for specific countries.
"I want to ensure fairness across the board so that Irish consumers are not disadvantaged...[shoppers] should be aware of the best prices available," Ms Mitchell O'Connor added.

Setting up your aquarium properly - the first timeChoosing your aquarium set-up is very important. You can purchase the right marine aquarium supplies online at Big Al's Online. The first rule of thumb: a tank will weigh approximately 10 lbs per gallon. A proper aquarium stand is essential for all but the smallest tanks. For larger aquariums (65 gallons plus) you need to test the best location for your set-up and whether floor joists will be necessary. Condo dwellers should check their buildings' regulations for possible size restrictions. Purchasing the right marine aquarium supplies can be done completely online.
The following aquarium care considerations are important.
-Allow a new tank to run 24-48 hours before adding any fish. -Maximum capacity is roughly 1 inch of fish per gallon. Never add more than a ¼ of this load in a 2-3 week period.
-A new aquarium will take 4-6 weeks to fully stabilize. For a freshwater tank avoid delicate species (i.e. Angels, Neons, Cardinal and Rummy Nose Tetras, most bottom feeders and algae eaters) during this breaking-in period. Recommended starter fish are Danios, Barbs, Mollies, Swords, Platties and many Tetras (other than the above species). For a saltwater tank, "cycle" with either uncured Live Rock or Damselfish and do not add more livestock until the tank has stabilized (determined by water testing).-
Regular maintenance is critical to being a successful aquarist. Regardless of your filter system, chemical waste build up must be diluted by regular partial water changes, using a Gravel Cleaner to vacuum the bottom. For freshwater tanks you should replace 1/3rd to ½ of the water every 2-3 weeks or a ¼- 1/3 weekly. Slightly lower ratios of water can be replaced for marine tanks. Water lost by evaporation is not a water change. Replacement water should be the same temperature or slightly warmer (never cooler) and always treat new water with a conditioner beforehand.
-Since every aquarium is different, the use of a Nitrate (NO3) test kit is advised to ensure your maintenance schedule is right for your tank.
-Do not skimp on filtration. This is your fishes' life support system. Most Manufacturers ratings for a filter capability should be scaled down by approximately 1/3rd.
-Chemical filter media (carbon, ammonia resin, etc) should be replaced every 2 weeks. Reusable media (sponge) should be rinsed in water from the tank as required, never in chlorinated tap water. Try to avoid changing or cleaning more than 1 section of your of your filter media within a week so as not to disturb the beneficial bacteria living there. -Aquarium and Reef Aquarium Lighting is also an important consideration and can make the difference between success and failure with live plants. Reef aquarium lighting is absolutely crucial. Most coral species will die without proper spectrum and intensity light.
-Do not overfeed your fish. Feed once or twice a day, ensuring all food is being consumed within a minute or two. Scoop out any uneaten food.
-Educate yourself. Good information is available for free online at BigAl's.
Fish keeping is equal parts science and learned experience. When differing opinions are presented, let common sense prevail! Happy Fish keeping you're your friends at BigAl's Online.
Remember: BigAl's offers all Marine hobbyists or beginners to the tropical fish hobby all solutions for aquarium care, beginning with picking and choosing the right marine aquarium supplies including the correct aquarium lighting or reef aquarium lighting. An aquarium hood and the correct size and choice of aquarium stands is important too.

What a nasty man
Alas, that is where we spent five cosy days during the first week of the Easter holidays and we had a brilliant time. All shacked up together in a small plastic cabin and not one argument between us.
We hired a rather nice adapted static caravan. Excellent ramp straight to the door, not so excellent flushed access from the ramp and over the threshold but better than lifting over several steps. Lots of room inside and a large bathroom with a shower seat.
It was during the evening of day one that Dan first pointed out the height of the sink and cooker or lack of it. Of course, adapted means everything is lower for wheelchair users.
Beds were a thing of torture but bearable yet it allowed us to have an adventure and spend time together which we haven't been able to do for a while.
As it turned out Zack was much happier at base camp than going on a tour of beautiful North Wales.
We visited a few towns, which, whilst quaint in nature seemed to have not moved past 1959. And don't get me started on lack of internet facilities. Day two of my unplanned digital detox had reached fever pitch by my cries of "Why is there no wifi?" By day three I had learnt to accept my holiday life and was a much more relaxed human being.
Swimming was a daily activity, adventure was a given and falling into a dress rehearsal for a musical was a fortunate event.
Pottery was painted and a child's gambling habit brought to the forefront by a determined father to win at the Trolls grabber machine even if it left him destitute and penniless. We were never successful and probably twenty quid out of pocket.
We encountered back to the dark ages disability discrimination from a lady of a certain age in a tatty old shop.
This equated to a stand off between her, Dan and Zack. She being of the mind that he was not getting down the corridor of tat and Dan specifically telling her he was and he will and by no means is his son being forced out of a shop. End result, said lady of age going back behind her counter and in a loud voice making the statement, "What a nasty man."
Ding, dong, round two. Now I'm involved defending the 'nasty man' and trying to explain that it wasn't very nice to not try and make the shop a bit more accessible for people with disabilities. She didn't care, she worked there six days a week she told me. I walked away knowing you can't educate the ignorant.
All that didn't matter when we watched a show that included children who were on holiday, one of which had cerebral palsy like Zack. The staff working in the show (are they entertainers? well you know the type, theatrical, sing a lot) made every effort to include her and she had the most beautiful voice when it came to her line to sing.
You can't always get equality, but it's there in between the dark, pushing through.
Disability equality aside, our staycation was a massive lump of joy. These are our good days and our lucky days. And when you have a child like Zack you treasure them even more.

On April 30th, I chose my agency. I went to an informational meeting and walked out knowing this was the one.
On May 16th, I had my educational meeting and signed up for the home study. A few days later I received the application and began working toward an approved home study.
Today, August 26th, I completed the last step in this process - the home visit.
It took four long months to get here. For the past four months, I've had a constant to-do list running through my head. What needs to be done, who's doing it, when it's getting done, how it's getting done, how much it will cost, what questions are left on the application, do i have all of the paperwork, did i make all of the appointments... It was a very long and very stressful list.
Four months.
In the grand scheme of things, four months is nothing. I can do anything for four months. Four months in a lifetime is nothing. Four months of work to bring my baby home is nothing. But it's still been a very long and very stressful four months.
The second the wonderful people from the agency left, I shut the door, leaned up against it and the tears started flowing. I actually thought to myself Ok, this is just lame and cheesy. Cut it out!
But I couldn't stop the tears and once I gave in, I didn't want to. All of those months of worrying and stressing were over. I made it. I'm approved, my house is approved - even Charlie is approved. The complete joy in that moment was bigger than I could contain.
Not to mention the sweet relief of being done! No more to-do lists. I still can't fully grasp it. I've had to stop myself several times today from running through the list in my head.
So, what's next?
Well, now I work on creating a profile and I need to finish it in the next 2 weeks. This profile will be shown to expectant moms and it is how they choose me. No pressure, right?
I know that God has already chosen this child. He knows them by name. I will pray over every sentence and photo that goes into this profile, but I know that no matter what is in it - God will connect me with the right woman and the right baby.
Once my profile is complete, I will join the agency's network. That is when expectant moms will be able to see my profile.
Then I wait.
The wait could be very short, but there's a possibility it could take years. So I'm coming up with a plan. Things to do. Books to read. Places to go. The wait will be hard, but it will be good.
____________ _ _ _
Friends - your love and support means everything to me. I know I keep saying it, but it's very much true. God has used you to encourage me and confirm this path. To see the amount of people that already love and pray for this child has been the most beautiful glimpse of God's love. I can't begin to express how much that love means to me and how grateful I am for it. Thank you!

Eye shadow colors that complement blue eyes include shades of purple, terracotta, gold, bronze and orange. Nontraditional eyeliner colors include turquoise and bronze, which accentuate rather than overpower blue eyes. Navy blue mascara subtly brings out the different shades of blue within the eye.
Allure Magazine suggests that individuals with blue eyes use a combination of neutral colors such as rich browns and light pinks rather than grays and blacks to create the smoky eye effect. Also, to brighten eyes and make them appear larger, those with blue eyes should use a beige pencil to outline just beneath the inner part of the eye.
