That is, however, how you determine whether something is or isn't. I think your concept of free software is how I might define 'successful' free software, in the sense that it is something of value that is good enough and popular enough to encourage other people to use and contribute to it, forming a community, rather than just something that meets the definition. No, that isn't it. As far as I know there is a Mozilla community, and it's certainly both good and popular, but as I've said I don't find it immediately obvious that Mozilla fits in my vague concept of free software. It may have something more to do with whether the software is a true gift to the world, to improve people's lives, or whether it is merely a tactical maneuver for some private unshared purpose. Not that I think free software authors need be altruists, but there is something not quite free about holding some strings. Think about the egcs/gcc fork, for example; can you imagine a Mozilla fork? I think the fact that Netscape would retain power over the forked code would make such a split very unlikely. By the way, I should probably say that I have no problems whatsoever with what Netscape is doing. More power to them, and I hope more companies do it too. I'm just not sure whether it is free software. Ian


text: Hi guys...I promessed you that I was going to keep you all updated on my cutlery order, and finally a box from "The epicurean edge" arrived, containing my Mac Mighty chef's knife, an Idahone 12" fine" ceramic honing rod , an Oishi waterstone (1000-6000), a Nagura stone and a stone holder. Thanks for the great advice BDL, Chris Lehrer and LennyD. Now my it's my turn on giving you and everybody else the feedback and an honest review about this fine piece. My first impression is "wow" /img/vbsmilies/smilies/eek.gif the knife oozes quality, quite different from my Global, Whustoff and Forshners (Victorinox). It's too late and I'm not in the restaurant and I know that if I go to the fridge and start chopping I'll get too pumped up and will not be able to sleep, so, tomorrow I'll start working with it to see if the knife (and me) can walk the talk. The knife came impecably packed in a nice box and so far I cannot find any chip or micro dent, the handle looks a bit small but once in the palm of my hand feels like custom made when I "pinch grip" it (After some hours of chopping and slicing I'll confirm my impression) The "Börg" stone holder also looks like a very stiff and professional holder, it caused me a very good first impression. And the stone looks... Well...Like a stone. But I can see that has the borders properly flatted. I'll find out that very soon too. Ok Guys, it's bed time, but I'll keep you posted, thanks for all your good advices. Best regards. Luis

Scripps Research Institute Scientists Find Promising New Approach to Preventing Progression of Breast Cancer
Feb 15, 2013, 01:00 ET
LA JOLLA, Calif., Feb. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Doctors currently struggle to determine whether a breast tumor is likely to shift into an aggressive, life-threatening mode—an issue with profound implications for treatment. Now a group from The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) has identified a mechanism through which mitochondria, the powerhouses of a cell, control tumor aggressiveness. Based on their findings, the team developed a simple treatment that inhibits cancer progression and prolongs life when tested in mice.
The research team, which describes its results February 15, 2013, in an article published online ahead of print by The Journal of Clinical Investigation, hopes to proceed quickly to human clinical trials to test this new approach using drugs already in use for other conditions.
Looking at Clues
The TSRI laboratory of Associate Professor Brunhilde H. Felding studies cancer, especially the mechanisms that control metastasis, the spread of cancer from its primary site to distant organs in the body.
Past research suggested that mutations affecting mitochondria, which are key to energy production in cells, strongly influence whether a tumor becomes aggressive. But the mechanism was not clear.
"We decided to investigate a specific protein complex, called mitochondrial complex I, that critically determines the energy output of cellular respiration," said the study's first author, Antonio F. Santidrian, a research associate in Felding's laboratory. To do this, the group teamed up with Akemi and Takao Yagi at TSRI, who are leading experts in complex I research. Using unique reagents from the Yagi group, the Felding team discovered that the balance of key metabolic cofactors processed by complex I—specifically, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and NADH, the form it takes after accepting a key electron in the energy production cycle—was disturbed in aggressive breast cancer cells.
Exciting Results
To find out if the balance of NAD+ and NADH was critical for tumor cell behavior, the team proceeded to insert a yeast gene into cancer cells that caused a shift toward more NAD+. To the scientists' amazement, this shift caused the tumor cells to become less aggressive.
"It was a really happy moment for me," said Santidrian. But the more exciting moments, he said, were yet to come.
To confirm and extend the initial findings, the team altered genes tied to NAD+ production. The resulting shift again showed that higher NADH levels meant more aggressive tumors, while increased NAD+ had the opposite effect.
The next logical step was to find a simple way to enhance the critical NAD+ level therapeutically. So the team explored what would happen if mice with breast cancer were fed water spiked with nicotinamide, a precursor for NAD+ production. The scientists found cancer development was dramatically slowed down, and the mice lived longer
"In animal models at various stages, we see that we can actually prevent progression of the disease," said Felding.
Next Steps
Now the group is working toward human trials to learn whether nicotinamide or other NAD+ precursors will have similarly impressive results in humans. Since NAD+ precursors are already used for other purposes, such as controlling cholesterol levels, achieving approval for human clinical trials should be simpler than is normally the case.
"It is not a totally new treatment that would need to be tested for toxicity and side effects like a new drug," said Felding. "And we already know the precursors can be easily ingested."
If manipulating the NAD+/NADH ratio in humans has the same effect as in mice, the results could be profound. Such treatment could benefit people at risk of developing aggressive breast cancer, offer complimentary treatment to chemo and radiation therapy to avoid disease recurrence, and maybe even provide a preventive treatment for women with a family history of breast cancer.
This research was funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health (R01CA112287, R01CA170737, R01CA170140, UL1RR025774 and R01DK053244), the US Department of Defense (W81XWH-08-0468), the California Breast Cancer Research Program (17NB-0058, 16IB-0052, 12NB-0176 and 13NB-0180), and the Susan G. Komen Foundation, as well as a donation from Las Patronas.
In addition to Santidrian and Felding, authors of the paper, titled, "Mitochondrial Complex I activity and NAD+/NADH balance regulate breast cancer progression," were Akemi Matsuno-Yagi, Melissa Ritland, Byoung B. Seo, Sarah E. LeBoeuf, Laurie Gay, and Takao Yagi, all from TSRI. For more information, see http://www.jci.org/just-published.

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- Microsoft and Yahoo's newly forged search deal is about breaking Google's dominance, which is pretty overwhelming in the U.S. by any measure: queries, clicks or ad revenue. But as hard as it will be to dislodge Google in the U.S., it will be even harder overseas.
Google has a 60% share of search queries in the U.S., but that number is 67% worldwide, according to ComScore. In many top and growing internet countries, including Germany, Canada, Brazil, Turkey and Italy, Google has more than 80% of the search market. Conversely, Microsoft has made few inroads abroad, and has 3% or less share in the U.K., Germany and Korea. Yahoo has one pocket of overseas influence: Japan, where its search share is 43%, close to Google's.
Google's dominance in Europe will likely be a strong part of its case when Microsoft and Yahoo seek the blessing of competition officials in Brussels for the deal. How are the search wars playing out abroad? Very well for Google, as the above international data from ComScore show. One caveat: The data do not include China, where Baidu is dominant and Google is frequently blocked by government censors.

UK, London. Quintessentially British furniture brand Davidson has recently launched three convex mirror designs. The Talisman, Neptune and Juniper mirror's all showcase the ranges central theme of, 'juxtaposed antiquity'. SuperyachtDesign.com spoke with Richard Davidson, chairman and founder of Davidson, about the collections inspirations and intricacies.
"Juxtaposed antiquity was the core theme behind our new range of mirrors," starts Davidson. "Our design team took various styles, themes and crafts from different periods and merged them with the contemporary to create unique pieces with a classic feel."
Inspired by the Ancient Greeks 19th century Italian neoclassical derivative, the Talisman Mirror "Was designed to take the ideals of classic craftsmanship and antiquity and forge them into a contemporary piece" explains Davidson. This item has a large hand-carved frame with a stepped bezel from which the 20 carved wave profiles and 20 spear points protrude in a classic sunburst design. "The Talisman Mirror has been hand gilded in contrasting areas of burnished and matte white gold leaf," continues Davidson.
Gilt items are a stalwart for Davidson and the process is common throughout its collections. "The [gilding] principle continues with the Neptune mirror with its exaggerated Regency inspired design. The classic gilded spheres combined with the sleek elegance of the high gloss black lacquer frame create a unique fusion," describes Davidson. Neptune's 16 yellow gold gilt spheres are reflected in its convex mirror producing a beautiful reflection and adding a sense of depth.
"Finally the Juniper mirror reverses the thematic combination by taking the style of 1950's modernism and using a truly classic technique of wood turning to create elegant spokes finished in our sycamore black finish," explains Davidson. The central convex mirror is surrounded by 40 turned spokes that overlap the mirrored surface.
Each custom made convex mirror in the collection is hand silvered.

RICHMOND — The Atlantic hurricane season is not yet here and it already has had its first named storm for 2017. The State Corporation Commission's (SCC) Bureau of Insurance (Bureau) reminds Virginians that it's never too soon to plan for hurricanes and other disasters.
Hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30 each year. The Bureau encourages Virginians to review their insurance coverage and options now. Once a hurricane develops in the Atlantic, it will be difficult to find an insurance company willing to write related coverage until the storm threat passes.
Even areas hundreds of miles from the coast can experience floods and other damage caused by high winds and torrential rains that accompany hurricanes and tropical storms. "Don't wait until it's too late," said Virginia Insurance Commissioner Jacqueline K. Cunningham. "Make sure you have the insurance coverage you need before the first hurricane starts to form. Contact your insurance agent or company or the Bureau of Insurance if you have questions."
The Bureau reminds Virginians that hurricane damage often comes from flooding as well as high winds. Homeowners insurance policies issued in Virginia typically do not provide coverage for damage to your home and belongings due to floods, surface water or storm surges. However, the federal government does sell insurance for direct flood and flood-related property damage to homeowners, renters and businesses in eligible communities through its National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). To learn more, contact your insurance agent or the NFIP at 1-888-379-9531 or visit www.floodsmart.gov. Ask whether your flood policy provides coverage for your contents. Keep in mind that there is typically a 30-day waiting period for a new flood insurance policy to take effect.
The Bureau encourages policyholders to prepare a complete inventory of their personal property including photographs, videotapes and serial numbers. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners' free smartphone app – myHOME Scr.APP.book – can facilitate this process. The app is available from iTunes or Google Play. Keep your home inventory in a safe place. If your property is damaged by a hurricane, contact your insurance agent or company as soon as possible. Make any necessary emergency repairs and take reasonable steps to prevent further damage to your property. Make a list of all damage to your property and include photographs, notes and repair-related receipts.
Some homeowners policies contain a special deductible for wind or hurricane losses. These are applied separately from any other deductible on the homeowners policy. Some insurance companies automatically include a wind or hurricane deductible, while others offer this deductible at the policyholder's option. Wind or hurricane deductibles may be written as a flat amount, such as $1,000, or they may be applied to the loss as a percentage of the insurance coverage on the dwelling.
If you must evacuate, know the name of your insurance company and take your homeowners, auto and other insurance policies and your home inventory with you or make sure you have saved these important documents electronically. The policies will contain your policy numbers and the phone numbers of your insurance companies in case you have questions or need to file a claim.
The Bureau offers free consumer guides for homeowners and commercial property owners with information about what to do when a disaster strikes. These and many other consumer insurance guides are available on the Bureau's website at www.scc.virginia.gov/boi.
The Bureau's specially trained staff can assist consumers with their insurance-related questions and concerns. For more information, contact the Consumer Services Section of the Bureau's Property and Casualty Division toll-free at 1-877-310-6560 or in Richmond at (804) 371-9185. The mailing address for the Bureau of Insurance is P.O. Box 1157, Richmond, Virginia 23218.
For additional emergency preparedness information relating to hurricanes and other types of disasters, visit www.ReadyVirginia.gov. This statewide public education effort is designed to prepare Virginians for all kinds of hazards.

Not sure if you can hear it from your side of the computer screen, but if you picked up on a long, glorious, beautiful sigh of deep relief just now, that was courtesy of yours truly being so glad it's Friday, and so glad the week is over, and so so so glad my week of marathon sponsored posts has come to an ignominious end (I cannot tell you how glad I am to once again be hitting the 'publish' button without cringing in embarrassment). It was such a forceful sigh of relief, I wouldn't be surprised if your hair actually blew back from your screen a little, hair commercial style. Thanks for hanging in there with me this week. It was awkward and embarrassing to put up one sponsored post after another, but no one left me any nasty comments about it, and for that I thank you.
I am a bit of a stress crocheter, and I have definitely been feeling the stress this past week or two, so I got a good amount of crocheting done (for shop orders and also just for kicks). I found a darling little amigurumi pattern that I can't wait to make Darcy for her first birthday, which meant that I had to crochet something for Forrest for his birthday, too, and he seems to be into zebras lately, so there you have it. A stress-induced birthday zebra.
Honestly, I'll be completely shocked if he plays with it more than maybe 4 or 5 times. He's never really been into stuffed animals, but he's going to be 4 in 2 days. At 4 years old, I might have a prayer of him enjoying something I've crocheted. Will I even have the slightest chance of him loving a crocheted animal at 5 or beyond? Probably not. So I'll just keep crocheting him things he (probably) won't care about while I still have even the slimmest chance that he'll like them.
I used this free pattern from Kristen's Crochet to make the little guy, and it worked up very nicely. For some reason, the limbs (which looked perfectly proportioned on Kristen's version!) looked goofily large on my zebra, so I went back and scaled them down a bit, plus shortened the mane significantly and went with a braided tail. I think he came out awfully cute. I'm really excited to give him to my little Goob-Meister, and am also preparing myself for the impending heartbreak when he shows zero interest in it whatsoever. Yay parenting!!!
After finishing the zebra, it would have made sense to start working on the toy I have planned for Darcy's 1st birthday (only 2 months away?!?!?!?!?!), and yet I started a completely unrelated project instead. Because when do I ever do things that make sense? I made a frog, which I hope to not keep much longer (you can find her in my etsy shop, and would you do me a solid and go buy her? thanksverymuch). For unexplainable reasons, I stayed up until 1 AM finishing the little darling, and paid for it dearly the next day when Forrest delivered a friendly wake-up call bright and early by knocking on my forehead to tell me he needed toast. (Once again: yay parenting!!!)
I don't feel like the pictures quite do this frog justice—she is so darling, so plump and squeezable, so dang cute in real life. I just love how she came out, and would love to make more of her in the future.
I based her on this pattern from lilleliis (and am now obsessed with all of her patterns—girlfriend has talent, no doubt about it). Fantastic pattern, if you're in the market for a crocheted frog (and why wouldn't you be?).
I am tempted to stress-begin another amigurumi as soon as I finish typing this, but I'm not sure I can survive another 1AM bedtime. Happy weekend to one and all!

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said President Muhammadu Buhari was a key player in the civil transition in Burkina Faso which culminated Tuesday with the inauguration of a democratically elected president in the west African nation.
Mr. Osinbajo made the observation while speaking with reporters after the inauguration of Rock Marc Christian Kabore as the democratic President of Burkina Faso at the Indoor Sports Hall of the Ouaga 2000 Stadium, Ouagadougou.
The event was witnessed by several presidents from West Africa and former leaders like Nigeria's Olusegun Obasanjo and Ghana's Jerry Rawlings.
The vice president said Mr. Buhari was very categorical in criticizing the coup d'etats which took place in the country before the election and said the position was important in ensuring enduring civil rule in the continent.
"President Muhammadu Buhari of cause was at the table and was probably one of the key persons who brought about this.
"As a matter of fact the Burkinabes agreed that he played such a significant role in enabling this to happen.
"Even from the time of their elections we aided the electoral committee logistically and in various other ways and the President was firm about the issue of the Coup.
"He was very firm and of cause you know that he was possibly one of the active negotiators in ensuring that the coup did not stand.
"So our relationships will be much stronger. I think the Burkinabe people 2understand the role that we have played and are very appreciative," he said.
The vice president, who represented Mr. Buhari at the inauguration, described it as a great occasion noting that the ECOWAS sub region had come of age in democracy.
"I think it is a very great occasion. It is a wonderful day indeed for West Africa and indeed for Africa because after 30 years of military rule in one form or the other we now have a transition to an authentic civil democracy which is incredible indeed.
"And the fact that all these happened with the active collaboration of ECOWAS states without any outside interference is a great thing indeed.
"I think that in many senses ECOWAS has come of age. It shows that ECOWAS is able to resolve its disputes and to advance its own causes.
"This is excellent indeed. It is a very wonderful day and I congratulate the President on this great occasion and of cause the people of Burkina Faso who stood their ground and insisted on democracy.''
Mr. Osinbajo said that the people of Burkina Faso had proved to be genuinely interested in good governance.
"They have been courageous. They have fought to see this day and they deserve all the congratulations and all the commendation.
"I think the people did an excellent outing, they stood their ground.
"But for that we probably wouldn't be here today,'' he added.
President Kabore pledged to restore the past glory of the country and entrench transparency and promote democracy.
He described the event as a new dawn adding that liberty, equity, justice and national reconciliation would be his watch words.

Kindle Christmas
Reading on a Kindle is fine, no problems. It's great to be able to instantly download books although super-frustrating when you arrive at your mother-in-law's to find she has no idea what her wifi password might be. The screen is fine, turning pages is fine - blah di blah - if you have a problem reading on a Kindle then you should seek psychological assistance - it's no BIG deal.
What I have found to be frustrating has more to do with the UK government and publishers than devices I think. Let me outline some of the main issues as I see them.
1: If there has ever been a Dickensian Christmas then this was it. 200 year anniversary on the horizon, Ray Winston and Agent Scully in Great Expectations and a Claire Tomalin biography to drool over. All good until you come to thinking about reading the Tomalin biography. As a book it is priced on the cover at £30. That is the kind of thing that makes Indy booksellers weep. That cover price is one hardly anyone will pay. It is the price only the most devoted and deep pocketed could contemplate paying when it costs so much just to stay warm at present. On Amazon the book is priced at £14.85 - less than half. But the e-book is £17.99.
I have seen the book. It is beautiful. Lovely end-papers, clever design. Lovely. So why pay more for a grey bland Kindle version? PUBLISHERS IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ORDINARY PEOPLE! That £17.99 is of course inflated by the %20 VAT slapped on top. E-books are electronic services? Only to robots! GOVERNMENT IT MAKES NO SENSE! If books are zero rated then e-books should be too. End of. Ignore the EU diktat - you do it when it suits the bankers.
2: The previews of books are often so stupid I can't help thinking publishers are deliberately being obstructive. Using the Tomalin as an example again you scroll through page after page of contents, lists of illustrations and maps before arriving at a massive cast list. The Prologue kicks in half way through the preview. Two thirds of the way through the preview we arrive at what we wanted - a bit of the book that allows the reader to get a flavour of the work. Why not produce a more intelligent preview? Is it just to spite Amazon? If so it really fails as all it does is frustrate a potential reader and give them the idea that the e-book has been produced by numskulls. I had a similar experience with Grossman's Life and Fate last night. Half of the preview taken up with title pages and other bits of books that I am not remotely interested in.
3: If you buy a print book you should get a licence to read the e-book as well. Once again this is a fact that will upset publishers as it makes little economic sense to them but nonetheless it is an issue that will encourage piracy if ignored. I want to read the Tomalin. I want the physical book. I will pay £14.85 for it but wouldn't it be great if I could read it on my Kindle/phone etc? Then I wouldn't have to lug the physical book around. I could keep that on the shelf and caress it with my eyes and hands in moments of bookish abandon (of which, dear reader, there are many). But when I am travelling around I would have the book electronically in my pocket. Beautiful. But no. I am therefore left tempted to download a pirate copy of the e-book as well as buying the physical copy. Is this really what publishers want? Cos it will happen! There must be a way to grant a license to the purchaser of the physical book that allows them to download the e-book for free. A way must be found and fast. Otherwise publishers will have real problems with piracy.
So there are some initial thoughts.
PS I just read and article about short stories in the Guardian here. Then I went to Amazon and downloaded a preview of the Don Delillo book The Angel Esmerelda and other stories. The e-book is priced at £8.35 compared to the eye-watering £16.99 of the print edition, though to buy the hardback from Amazon costs £9.17 making the e-book look expensive all of a sudden. I read the preview and it stopped at a point where I was unclear if that was just the end of the story or if the preview had just ended. The effect was to leave me confused and frustrated. Either it was a story that just ended - I hate stories that just end and leave you running like Wiley Coyote. Or the publisher was being mean and would only let a strict percentage of the book be previewed. Either way I was pissed off enough not to buy the book! (Though I did appreciate Delillo's description of someone deep into reading a book as "unreachable, as though massively stunned".
There are a lot of things to sort out. So far this new era of publishing feels like a total mess! But kind of fun too...

Thanks for posting those thoughts. Points 1 & 3 I couldn't agree more with. As someone who has tried to resist the lure of the e-reader, and will no doubt succumb eventually, they were much appreciated. Other than the points you posted do you think that the availability of kindle versions is at an acceptable level?ReplyDelete
Just another thought. Given the amount of kindles that must be in use in the UK is there not a case for lobbying the government, via an email petition, to force them to debate the vat issue?ReplyDelete
Hi tonterre - thanks for the comments.ReplyDelete
I am happy with the level of Kindle availability at present. I understand that there are some conversion issues and it will take time to digitise all those books. Google, project Gutenberg and others have made great strides with out of copyright material and most of it is reasonably formatted and fine to read on Kindle.
I have noticed that some publishers are not digitising new books though. There is no Kindle edition of New Finnish Grammar by Diego Marani for example. The publisher - Dedalus - is small and operates on an Arts Council subsidised budget. However I have produced e-books myself with a minimun of expertise and know it can be done for zero cost discounting publishing costs that have already been incurred with producing the print edition. Why don't they have a Kindle one then? Seems a little luddite.
Regarding VAT the UK government recently decided to do nothing about this issue.

Valentine's Day was on February 14th and RED is a popular color worn by millions of people on that day – but it's not just for Valentine's Day! I receive many questions regarding the color red and thought this would be an ideal time to talk about it.
Say "YES" to Red!
If you're feeling at all hesitant about wearing red or wondering HOW to wear it, read this article and say "YES" to wearing red with confidence!
1) Is red right for your personality?
It just so happens that red is my favorite color and I wear it often in many different ways. Either as an accent color or dress, pant, coat, top, shoes or scarf. Red is considered a power color and the eye sees the color instantly, so you must feel good and confident wearing it. If you have any hesitation about wearing the color and don't feel good in it, then red is not for you. People will be able to tell if you don't feel good in the color by the way you walk, talk and your non-verbal communication body language. Your inside will project your outside behavior. This is a color where your inside behavior must project a positive outside feeling.
2) Are you wearing the right shade?
There are different shades of red, so you will need to find out which shade works better with your skin complexion.
To discover the right red for you, you should decide if a warm red or cool red works best against your skin. When you look at a warm red and cool red side-by-side, you can clearly see the warm red has more yellow and the cool red has more blue.
By putting swatches up to your face you will determine which shade looks good on you. You will see and feel it instantly.
People who look best in warm reds are people who look better in warmer colors like browns, oranges, yellows, and rust or fall tones. People who look better in cool reds are those who look best in brighter jewel tones like magenta, royal blue, bright purples and black.
If you are still confused, think about metallic or silver or gold jewelry. If silver is most flattering on you, then most likely you look better in cool red. If gold looks better on you, then a warm red is the answer.
However, keep in mind there are some skin tones, especially of a darker hue, that can get away with wearing either a warm or cool red. I'm in this category and even though I wear a lot of cool red (with more blue in the shade), I can wear the warm red as well. Gold also looks great on my skin tone but silver is attractive too.
3) How much red should you wear?
Again, pay attention to how you FEEL wearing red. It's important to consider all the points above and what your goal is for the day.
Since red is my favorite color, I wear it socially, in business, or when I need to be in a position of leadership and present new ideas. It evokes a feeling of confidence in me and others can see it. If, on the other hand, you need to sell or negotiate something you want, it may cause an uneasy feeling with the person you are dealing with.
The important thing to consider is how you feel when you wear it. Once this battle is conquered, you can figure out the right shade you should wear and the appropriate times to wear it.
Is RED a color that you wear often? Do you know if you are a warm or cool red? Have you been wearing the right shade of red? Join the conversation below and leave your comments!

When Dean Cox was a Cuckfield Cosmos youth footballer playing at Whiteman's Green, the thought of scoring at Wembley was a galaxy away.
But he went on to prove dreams can come true when the Haywards Heath man ran out at the home of football for Leyton Orient.
And the 27-year-old hopes his story will inspire the children of today that playing in the Mid Sussex Youth & Minor League to follow in his footsteps.
The former Oathall pupil will never forget where it all started and how he was spotted to play for Brighton & Hove Albion schoolboys at the age of 13 while playing for the local village youth team.
Cox, who has made more than 400 pro appearances, said: "When I was at Cosmos I got a letter through the door, just saying would you like to come for a trial.
"I couldn't believe it. From then on I haven't looked back.
"I'd like to thank Cosmos for allowing me to go. I used to play for Brighton on the Sunday morning at Ardingly College, then at 11 o'clock rush over to Whiteman's Green to play the second half for Cosmos. They gave me the kit so I could change in the car and run straight on to the pitch."
Steve Jones and Richard Young, his managers at Cosmos, have fond memories of Dean.
Jones said: "He loved playing for the club and I remember there were a few tears shed when he got the call from Brighton, as he knew if he wanted the chance to progress he wouldn't be playing with his mates anymore.
"He was always a winner and never gave up, no matter what the score was."
Cox has enjoyed the highs and lows of football - and in one day!
He scored at Wembley to put Orient 2-0 up against Rotherham in the League One play-off final in May 2014.
But he would go on to suffer the heartache of seeing his side lose on penalties.
He said: "To get to Wembley was fantastic although what happened was sad.
"The best thing was some of my lifelong friends came to see me in the play-off final. To go from Whiteman's Green to playing at Wembley and then seeing them in the crowd was a bit surreal.
"Those memories you won't forget."
Cox knows he would not be where he is today without the support of his dad Steve and mum Beverley.
He added: "I think from a parents' point of view you have got to be dedicated in taking your child to training and match days.
"My dad used to take half days off work. Monday and Tuesday we used to train at Falmer then on Thursday we would be training in Worthing. So you need parents who can help. Without my dad I would not be able to go to training sessions."
The winger emphasises the importance of making sacrifices as a teenager in order to achieve your ambitions.
He explained: "As a player, dedication is important. You may have to lose some friends along the way especially when you are around 16.
"Some kids want to go off and gallivant, but if you want your dreams to come true you have to make sacrifices.
"If they are real friends they will stick with you no matter what. On a Friday night you can't go out and hang around the streets. I used to do that, don't get me wrong.
"But from 16 you have to be really disciplined. I never expected to be a professional footballer, that's the best thing about it.
"To play for Cuckfield Cosmos was enough but to go on to what I have is a dream come true.
"From a playing side when you are young, enjoy it as much as you can, work as hard as you can. I'm a firm believer if you are good enough you will get a chance."
Dean is looking forward to getting married to Hannah later this year and starting a family - and he knows which team he wants a new addition to play for.
He said: "First port of call will be Cuckfield Cosmos."
John Edwards, Mid Sussex Youth & Minor League Secretary, added: "We are extremely proud to see Dean have such successful career after starting out in our league and we look forward to seeing him at future league events."

Cake stand
It's sewing themed as it's going to live in my craft room, holding sewing notions. Nope, no cake is going to grace this stand. I don't bake.
I tied the little "sew" tag on with a piece of ribbon that matches the colour scheme of aqua, navy and red.
It took me ages to make and put on all those buttons round the edge!
I am really pleased with how it turned out. I love Katie's style of ceramics and I don't think I did a bad job here.

Is anyone else still in mourning after hearing the news that Bachelor Pad has been canceled by ABC? For die-hard fans like myself, it's going to take some time to accept the fact that we'll have to go through the entire summer without one single dose of super-ridiculous reality TV. (Such a shame.)
But apparently not everyone is as disappointed over the show's cancellation as us guilty-pleasure hungry folks are.
Like Bachelor turned DWTS contestant, Sean Lowe. Sean's feelings on Bachelor Pad are pretty easily summed up -- he's simply not a fan. At all.
On the radio show Elliott in the Morning, Sean said, "I think we would be doing our nation a disservice if we got that show back on. You know, I was never a big fan of Bachelor Pad, I'm happy with just Bachelor and Bachelorette, to be honest."
Excuse me? Bringing the show back would be a disservice to America? Um, it's more like the other way around -- it's a disservice to this country NOT to have the show to look forward to this summer.
Ok, so I get that Sean is all pure and perfect and isn't into drunken hot tub hookups, endless rounds of tonsil hockey, and backstabbing simply for the sake of being a pain in the ass -- but come on, lighten up, dude!
The cast knows what they're getting into when they sign up for the show, so it's not like they go on there expecting to fall head over heels in love and find their soul mate (which is a crock anyway). People go on Bachelor Pad to win money, have some fun, and hopefully gain a little extra publicity -- and fans of the show love to watch them make fools of themselves while attempting to do those three things.
We get it, Sean, you're a nice, down-to-earth guy who isn't into those kinds of shenanigans. But don't try and ruin it for the rest of us who are holding on to a small shred of hope that ABC will reconsider and bring "The Pad" back for our viewing pleasure. (It could happen. Yes, it could. OMG. It better come back.)
Were you happy to see Bachelor Pad go?

The kids love themed baths during the holidays, cause I go all out. We took out our eggs from last year and I filled them with small toys around the house . Then I filled the tub with bubbles and colored them green like grass. Decorated around the tub with the window clings from Dollar Tree(they stick great to the tub and bath wall when wet)
Then had the kids come in and gave them their baskets and they hunted for eggs under the bubbles.
No joke we have done this bath 3 times now since I set it up last week. Jake is into it more then Cate, but they both loves doing it.
Super fun and great memories to make with your little ones.
We did this in the bath tub, but you can do it in a sensory bin like we did our firework bubbles.
If you like to do fun and creative things for you kids at bath time be sure to check out our other baths and our Pinterest bath board

Houston Real Estate Lawyer Doyen Sebesta
A real estate lawyer is somebody who is mostly involved in resolving disputes You will most likely ask what these instances are when you need to employ their solutions. Walter Melanson is the Director of Partnerships at , the well-liked Moncton, N.B.-based website that enables you to forgo a genuine estate agent and handle a house sale yourself. When you break it down, there are genuinely only two types of actual estate attorneys: these who manage contract matters (transactional), and those who manage lawsuits (litigators).
It is crucial to have a genuine estate attorney , who is only hunting out for your issues, review all actual estate documents for accuracy and for your protection. Except in states where it really is mandated, an ordinary actual estate transaction doesn't need an attorney's help. Retainer Agreement – An agreement with your actual estate attorney that outline the duties, responsibilities, and associated fees for the relationship. For example, Ontario residents can use the Law Society Referral Service , which will give you the name of a lawyer or paralegal within or close to your neighborhood who will provide a free consultation.
The American College of Real Estate Lawyers (ACREL) internet site provides links to members by state, and has numerous members from Ohio. If one has insurance coverage against fire harm and their property burns to the ground, a real estate lawyer ought to be hired if the insurance business refuses to spend just compensation. At Lawrence Law PLLC in Dallas, Texas, we have been practicing commercial genuine estate and business law for much more than 30 years. Closings also rely on the location you are living in. Toronto natives can hire the solutions of a real estate lawyer for sale closings.
In this report, we'll perform to break down how you can benefit throughout the transaction, how much it's going to price, and the frequent pitfalls true estate attorneys can assist you stay away from by limiting your exposure to any future risks. Hiring an estate-arranging lawyer also helps to steer clear of the financial and emotional nightmares that can happen with a poorly drafted program.
Here you would need a lawyer to support you reinforce the existing contract terms by sending the landowner a legal notice to remind him of the terms to which he is obligated to stick for the duration of the predetermined lease period. Whether you are a house investor or you are acquiring a property for the very first time, you will need this type of lawyer for every single transaction. If one particular has purchased a new house and finds that it is damaged in any way or if 1 has purchased an older residence with damage that they have been not notified about (such as termite damage), a real estate lawyer is undoubtedly needed to manage these varieties of instances.

Shortly before we were married, my husband rented a little house near some of our farmland around Knox. I naturally assumed it was a modern home since I had always lived in town and worked in South Bend. But when I went to visit it for the first time, it had no running water, no furnace and no bathroom -- just a neat path to the outhouse! I certainly didn't expect that. We lived there for two years and continued to look for something to buy, when this came up. "We sit on an acre of lawn and garden, and we love it here, although we could use help sometimes to maintain the grounds since we are both in our 80s." -- Lelia Matzat "My family moved down here from Chicago in the 1920s. My brother had gotten married, and they wanted to build a new home and get rid of the old farmhouse that was on their building site. They had dug a basement and built a foundation and moved the old farmhouse onto that foundation across the road, to be remodeled later for some relatives coming from Lithuania. Meanwhile, the relatives had found a farm, so we decided to remodel the house ourselves. The house is well over 100 years old. It has hand-hewn beams with square nails. "It has served us and our four children well. It has a fireplace surrounded by bookshelves and an open staircase with two bedrooms upstairs. We had one bedroom downstairs but added another bedroom and a family room. We had a basketball court behind the house, then added a tennis court. It has served us and our four children well all these years." -- Harold Matzat Becky Emmons is always on the lookout for houses that appear to be loved; don't be surprised if she knocks on your front door.

A reformed crack addict-turned-lawmaker is targeting the instrument of his affliction: the glass pipe.
This session, Rep. Darryl Rouson, D-St. Petersburg, has been rallying support to pass a bill that would take bongs, water pipes and maybe hookahs off tobacco store shelves. It cleared its last Senate committee last week.
"You know how people say there's nothing like a reformed smoker or reformed addict?" Rouson said. "I'm dedicated to freeing communities of substance abuse, and these shops seemed like a good place to start."
Rouson's bill would mandate that tobacco stores get three-quarters of their revenue from tobacco sales. No more than 25 percent can come from drug paraphernalia.
That's a standard that the owners of head shops, which specialize in bongs and drug-related goods, say they can't meet, especially after the federal government banned the popular clove cigarette last summer.
Now a loosely organized group of head shop owners are trying to band together in a battle for the bong. It's being led by Jay Work of Grateful J's Deadhead Shop in Margate, who's been trying to find other owners of the low-key businesses to persuade them to speak out.
"They tell me they don't want to be targeted," Work said. But, "we're already the targets."
The debate has become something of a morality play of this year's legislative session. Work and the owners of stores with names such as Altered Visions, the Hemp Factory and Kish My Ash see themselves as victims of a recovering addict gone too far.
They invoke phrases similar to other campaigns against goods that might be deemed socially irresponsible.
"Stores don't facilitate drug addiction," Work said. "People facilitate drug addiction."
The bill still has one more House committee to clear. If it passes, Work said he and other owners will have to shut down.
In his stores in Margate and Boca Raton, between 30 percent and 50 percent of sales come from glass bowls and pipes, some of which he made himself. Only 13 percent of his sales come from tobacco.
When he found out about the bill, he started to call local head shop owners he knew, and they called others. In all, about 60 stores have joined his Smoke Shop Coalition. But most of the 250 owners he found refused to join.
The coalition has started a blog and written letters to lawmakers, but none of its members showed up to testify at the most recent committee meeting.
A tobacco store owner from Pensacola, Charlie Richie, came on his own to testify, though he was not a member of the group.
He told the Ways and Means Committee that the language in the proposal is too broad. He claimed the bill could prohibit stores from selling hookahs and the kinds of pipe most often associated with Sherlock Holmes.
"There's unintended consequences, indeed," Richie said.
According to sponsor Rouson, the biggest barrier to getting the bill passed might not be head shop owners but other lawmakers. When he tried to push a bill addressing the issue last year, he said, many lawmakers thought the issue was frivolous.
Rouson, who has been sober since 1998, originally pitched a high sales tax on the products. This year, he figured more taxes wouldn't fly.
The new proposal, he says, is akin to mandating that a restaurant can sell alcohol only if most of its sales are from food.
"If it's a tobacco shop and these are tobacco pipes," Rouson said, "then let there be some truthfulness and transparency. Sell tobacco."

Here's a good video, titled "The American Denial of Global Warming." It gives a good overview of the science (and the history of the science) of global warming in its first half and the history of the denialist movement in its second half.
Here's the thing: The science behind the greenhouse theory has been around since the 19th century. The fact is, we are seeing a warming planet, we have added enough CO2 to the environment to cause the warming, and we have known for more than a hundred years that this would be the case.


text: SOUTH BEND School wasn't easy at first for Ed Varga. He had grown up speaking Hungarian, and he had trouble converting to English at St. Stephen's School in South Bend. "Our dear nuns did not have much patience with a young fellow who would blurt out in Hungarian the figure shown on a flash card," he recalled. "That was unacceptable, and the result was a few whacks on the hands with a ruler. "It took me a long time to find out that rulers were for measuring things. Under the circumstances, it behooved you to learn English in a hurry." He really developed a love of reading while still a student in high school. "I was blessed with excellent teachers and with their guidance, I learned to love books," he said. He still surrounds himself with excellent teachers. His wife, Tillie, retired in 1986 after teaching at James Madison School. Their daughter, Julie Bankowski, is a third-grade teacher at Madison Primary Center. Her husband, Jim Bankowski, is the principal of Studebaker Primary Center. And Julie's daughter, Karen Thornburg, teaches first grade at Madison. Ed and Julie got together recently to talk about books, food and family. "Tillie loved teaching," Ed said. "She lived for it. When our children were grown, she returned to school and acquired her teaching degree. "She was chosen Teacher of the Year in all three schools in which she taught. She's never quit learning." Tillie gave Julie her most memorable book, "The Littlest Angel" by Charles Tazewell, and Julie has the book tucked in with her angel books in her living room. Ed loves Westerns, which he thinks of as "any books that describe the settling of the West, books about Indian culture, religion and traditions and customs." "My favorite Western writers are Zane Grey and Louis L'Amour," he said. "They do a good job of describing the beauty of the West. I call them my 'bathroom books.' "I initial each book after I have read it, but reread them from time to time, if I don't have something more important to read." Daughter Julie added, "You should read a story three times to understand it." When Ed retired from being manager of Morris Park Country Club, he and Tillie took a two-month vacation driving in the West, seeing Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons and the Badlands. They ended their trip with a cruise to Alaska. Except for the cruise tickets, "We had no reservations, and I had the best traveling companion in Tillie," he said. Ed's parents had come from Hungary and "spent all their time working to keep a roof over our heads, and food on the table." "It was years before either of them could read or write English. But they learned and became citizens of our great country." Ed was in the first graduating class at Washington High School when it was still on Sample Street. That's where he met Tillie. "We raised a family of three children -- Michael, Sharon and Julie. All were adopted. "We were told by the adoption agency that we would probably not be given another child because we already had a boy and girl. So we went to Quebec, Canada, for Julie." Julie graduated from St. Mary's Academy in 1972 -- just ahead of its closing in 1974. She graduated from Holy Cross when it was still a junior college and received bachelor's and master's degrees in elementary education from Indiana University South Bend. Books are everywhere in the Bankowski house -- living room, dining room, den, kitchen and bathroom. Certain favorites are always on display: "Uncommon Grace: Reminiscences and Photographs of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis" by Jean-Claude Suares and J. Spenser Beck; "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran; a tiny book called "Loving Thoughts for Tender Hearts" by Paul C. Brownlow; and "For the Children: Words of Love and Inspiration from His Holiness Pope John Paul II." Another important work for Julie is "The Place Within: The Poetry of John Paul II" by Karl Woytila. "I have grown to love his poetry more since his death. I never knew he was such a writer." Julie loves to read during the evening, but another favorite time is inside her classroom with her children. She said Ed and Tillie instilled a love of reading in her, and she continues to share this love with them, her own children and her schoolchildren. For Mother's Day, Julie gave her mother "My Mother Gave Me The Moon" by Becky Kelly. "It shares special moments between a mother and her daughter," she said. The book shares space with another book on parents and children given to Jim Bankowski by daughter Karen. It is "Why a Daughter Needs a Dad: A Hundred Reasons" by Gregory E. Lang. Julie is known as "Mrs. B." at school, and she happens to love the book "Inside Mrs. B's Classroom: Courage, Hope, and Learning on Chicago's South Side" by Leslie Baldacci. "It's a true story by the veteran Chicago Sun-Times reporter-turned-teacher of her experiences in Chicago schools," she said. After a successful 25-year career in journalism, Baldacci quit her job and began to teach in a rough neighborhood school. She uses her reporter's eye for detail and description to tell her story of her students, parents and fellow teachers. One lesson Julie has learned through her father is that a big key to the American dream is learning the language. "In the South Bend schools, English begins in kindergarten," she said. "Hopefully by first or second grade, children will be able to read English enough to be mainstreamed. "I love my Hispanic families. The mother still plays a big part in the family, as does religion." With 22 years of teaching at Madison, Julie can understand how schools helped her father adapt to America after growing up in a Hungarian home. "All cultures should be shared, and children have such a wonderful way of sharing," she said.

WATERVILLE — A cracked water main that flooded part of Oak Street was fixed Sunday and the street reopened after being closed for most of the day.
Jeffrey LaCasse, general manager of Kennebec Water District, said Monday that the pipe likely cracked because of frost and caused water to pour out both sides of the street.
With the average temperature at 10 below zero Saturday and in the teens to low 20s Sunday, frozen and broken pipes were also a problem for homeowners and businesses.
LaCasse said the water district's on-call worker also was busy over the weekend, fixing frozen pipes inside buildings — mostly residential buildings, but some commercial.
LaCasse advised that people make sure the place water lines enters a building is sufficiently heated and the pipes insulated.
Service lines typically enter a building in the basement, but a line also can come through a wall or under a sink, where the air does not move around, he said.
Workers repairing the cracked water main around 45 Oak St. had to excavate to find the location of the crack, which was about 85 inches long.
They closed the pipe off until that part was replaced, according to LaCasse. Area residents were without water until the problem was fixed.
The street was flooded, with about six inches to a foot of water in places, near Ace Tire & Auto Service on Drummond Avenue. The street was closed for most of the day Sunday.
Workers were fixing a water main break on Center Road in Fairfield Sunday morning when they got a call that there was a problem on Oak Street, according to LaCasse.

Cleansers (Men/Natural)
Men's natural cleansers have become a part of many skincare regimens. By removing the synthetic ingredients, harsh detergents and artificial fragrances commonly found in men's facial cleansers, these natural cleansers are perfect for even the most sensitive skin types. Men's organic cleansers contain all-natural ingredients from pesticide-free botanicals in addition to synthetic-free ingredients.
A natural cleanser for men will use only essential oils to achieve a fragrance, or it may have no fragrance at all.
Natural acids, botanical extracts and essential oils cleanse, tone and condition the skin for a naturally fresh complexion.

Over the past week, I've read a few blogs that have talked, in general, about the tension between what we, educators, would like to achieve and what we can actually accomplish. This year, it seemed to me that I felt more of a pull between what I wanted to get done and what I could realistically do, more so than I've felt in any other year. To a certain extent, I was relieved after reading different posts and noticing that many people seemed to feel the same way (not that I was happy when other people were feeling stressed or anything!)
This sentiment made me start to question why we feel such a pull as educators. During an admin meeting earlier in the year, I brought up the fact that ever since I've become a VP, I've regressed as a support teacher. Any administrators with a split load will probably relate to my dilemma of having to do two jobs at the same time. My deterioration as a support teacher forced me to look at my practice and try to figure out what was going on. I quickly realized a major factor was that I had started to sacrifice one part of my job for another. After reflecting upon this problem, I consciously decided to devote some more time to my support teaching and to ask for help, in the form of delegating, with the administrative part. This solution wasn't an easy fix for me, since it felt as though I had to choose one part of my job over the other. But I knew that something definitely had to give, in order to reach a better balance and to properly support my teachers & students. And I think therein lies the dilemma. We are all human, we try to do our best but we can't do it all.
As workers in the educational system in BC, we have all been pushed to do more with less for many years now. This affects everyone: teachers, custodians, Special Education Assistants, office staff, and administrators. It seems that no one in education is immune to the "pull".
Thank you to people like @datruss, @c_durley and @TiaHenriksen for sharing your ideas and struggles via your blogs. I've found that reading your posts really helped me to reflect on my own practice. I know that, at the start of the next school year, I will remember the lessons I learned this year about how much I can realistically accomplish. I'll still do my best and try to be as helpful as I can, but I know I'll have to be okay with not trying to be Superman.

"Step by Step, Sustainable Buildings for Africa" - Francis Kéré
Francis Kéré, a young architect from Burkina Faso based in Germany, has been awarded a special mention in the "Most thought-provoking +X" Projects(4th Cycle) Category of the World Architecture Community Awards for his Dano School project in Burkina Faso. He was the only African architect to make a showing in the World Architecture Community's 4th Cycle Results.
Situated at the edge of a small town in Burkina Faso, the project comprises an L-shaped addition to an existing school complex.
The design incorporates locally available materials and sustainable features that respond to the specific constraints of climate.
This new building closes the southern angle of the compound and is oriented to reduce direct sunlight onto the walls, which are themselves protected from the sun by a wave -like canopy. The extension compromises three individual blocks housing classroom, offices and a computer room.
An oval Amphitheatre, open to the exterior, serves as a sitting area during breaks.
The ensemble is covered by a tilted, cantilevering roof structure whose undulating bays create a rhythm against the orthogonal enclosure below.
Walls of locally available laterite. (laminated with thin layers of cement to form 30 cm thick, load bearing partitions) sit on a granite stone bed.
Regularly spaced, tall window shutters are painted in bright colours that vary with the activity inside.
The roof consists of 3 m wide, modular elements assembled from 14 mm and 16 mm thick iron bars and welded together on site. Corrugated roofing fixed to the assemblage protects the interior from the elements.
Within the classrooms, a wave-like suspended ceiling defined into 3 m bays recalls the exterior structure. Slits in the ceiling allow hot air to exhaust trough the roof, keeping the building naturally ventilated. Comprised of cement stones hanging on the construction of thin, flat rolled steel, the bottom side of the ceiling is painted in reflective white to distribute light within the classrooms.
Throughout the construction process, local artisans were trained in new techniques, ensuring that building methods would stay within the community.

About the Architect
To achieve sustainability, the projects are based on the principles of designing for climatic comfort with low-cost construction, making the most of local materials and the potential of the local community, and adapting technology from the industrialized world in a simple way.
With his first school in Gando, he taught the local people how to refine clay and local materials, and how different construction techniques could further improve the performance. By that, the instructed people who worked on the construction were able to undertake their own building projects without the need of outside help in the future.
The aims of Francis Kéré are to further the use and development of traditional building techniques among local communities, and to develop innovative methods and building solutions for extreme climatic conditions.
The deep motivation of the architect in his projects is to promote modern and sustainable architecture in Africa.
As someone from a rural African community, with more than 80 % of the people being illiterate, who got the chance to attend higher education in Europe, he regards it as his duty to use his skills for the benefit of the people of his home continent.
"Every child in the world is full of creativity. What children need to use their potential is education. I am convinced that with the provision of intelligent architecture this potential can be advocated. That is what I am trying to do. "

The S&P 500 represents the industry standard for large-cap indices. While the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) may be the most visible stock market index in the country, the S&P 500 has long been relied on by industry insiders and fund managers as the more reliable gauge of portfolio performance.
While the DJIA is price-weighted and only includes 30 stocks, the S&P 500 uses a weighting system that factors in market cap and the size of a company's free float while including some 500 stocks for a more comprehensive look at the broader markets' performance. Its performance is far more representative of the large- and mega-cap stocks for any period of time.
