I'll tell you why not. Because our budget is in shambles! Currently, the plan for our kitchen is that the white cabinets are going to be twelve feet tall. TWELVE!
(And I don't care what else we have to cut out, Sexy Nerd. I will stack my cabinets to the sky.)
One of our "must haves" that seems a little silly is a sauna. And not just any sauna, of course, but the biggest sauna, like the ones you find in a spa or corporate health club. It's not like we can invite people over to our home and tell them "we have a sauna, but there's no room for you", right? So, we designed our floor plan to include the Almost Heaven Bridgeport 6-Person Indoor Steam Sauna. Costco was selling it for a budget-friendly price. Then, disaster struck.
We revisited our sauna link to double check the electrical requirements. Costco had no idea what we were talking about. Here we were, at the final stage of the design process, ready to break ground, and the item we'd designed an entire room around had disappeared!
Well, there's good and bad news.
The good? The GREAT! It turns out the reason our sauna link no longer worked was that Costco had moved it to their clearance section - and taken almost $1,000 off the price! Were we dancing around our home like crazy idiots after discovering this? Of course.
The bad? Not wanting to risk missing out again, we ordered it. We actually got the last one! However, it won't fit in our garage. It's also too heavy to bring upstairs. It may be (almost certainly would be) stolen from the back patio. So, for the next 8 months or so, this is going to be boxed up in our living room, sans sexy towel model:

Welcoming a puppy into the family is an exciting and busy time spent getting to know the pup, building a bond and of course lots of puppy cuddles!It's easy to get caught up in house training and basic obedience training, such as learning to sit and walk on the lead, that teaching important puppy life skills might be missed out on. The following life lessons will help your pup to grow into a happy, confident and stable adult dog who is a pleasure to own.
SocialisationEarly puppy socialisation between 12-16 weeks old is the most crucial stage of development for your pup. Puppies should have pleasant and positive experiences with the following;
- People of different genders, ages, races and appearances
- Animals - puppies, adult dogs, other pets, farm animals and wildlife
- Surfaces - wood, tile, carpet, grass, sand, water, gravel, metal grilles and unstable surfaces
- Noises - household, construction, vehicles, fireworks, thunder
- Environments - parks, forests, beaches, towns, cities, vets, groomers, car rides
- Any scenario or experience that your dog will be expected to cope with throughout his life - this will look really different for a dog living in the city compared to a dog living on a farm!

Assistant Professor Jana Diesner taught a course on network analysis to Chinese students participating in the Information Science and Engineering Summer Program sponsored by Global Education and Training (GET) at the University of Illinois. Eighty undergraduates from five Chinese universities took part in the two-week program held last month on the Urbana campus.
Doctoral students Ly Dinh and Shubhanshu Mishra served as teaching assistants for the network analysis course. Moises Orozco Villicana, director of enrollment management, talked with participants about the degree programs available at the iSchool.
In addition to network analysis, participants learned about control systems in a course taught by Petros Voulgaris, professor in the Department in Aerospace Engineering. GET hosted social activities for the participants as well, including a trip to Springfield to visit the Illinois State Capitol and Abraham Lincoln sites. The program concluded on July 21 with a graduation lunch at the Illini Union.
"It was an honor and great fun to teach a class for these students," said Diesner. "We were delighted to get a chance to work with some of the brightest minds from a variety of Chinese universities. Our interactions with the students also allowed us to learn more about the students' academic backgrounds and traditions, and to connect to their culture and experiences. We were absolutely amazed by the research projects that these students put together in an extremely limited amount of time."

How do I get my car back to the way it looked in the fall? It's been out in the snow all winter.
The most important thing is to keep up with cleaning your car off even between storms to help prevent rust, which is caused by the salt mixtures used on the roads. Because you may have waited for the better weather, don't wait one moment longer to take care of the exterior of your vehicle.
Fortunately, the staff of Jaffarian Auto Spa at either Volvo or Toyota service areas at 600 River Street in Haverhill can treat your vehicle to a cleaning that is much needed this time of year. In Massachusetts, the State Highway Department does a great job of keeping roads clear and putting mixtures down according to the road conditions and temperature. Sodium chloride is the most readily available and at the lowest cost. It has some disadvantages, however, including its impact on the environment and its corrosive effect, especially on vehicles. It also doesn't work well at low temperatures.
The State also takes into consideration reduced salt areas marked by road signs. In those areas and when the temperature is extremely cold, the road mixture includes a sodium chloride/calcium chloride blend which is better for the environment, but at a higher cost.
When to have your vehicle washed:
In washing salt off in wintertime, do so during the day so the vehicle has time to dry. You don't want the water to freeze on your finish after temperatures fall. The outside temperature should preferably be around 40°F or higher. While your vehicle is still collecting slush, salt and sand, it's recommended to wash your vehicle off every 10 days or so.
What services to look for at a car wash:
• Undercarriage wash – That is imperative during and after winter to clean out the salt mixtures from the roads. This is particularly important for trucks as the mixtures can actually get into the electrical components and promote decay of the brake lines.
• Evaluate the services provided – Did they dry the edges of the doors inside and out, including the undersides of door handles, all hinges, plus the hood and trunk edges. This helps keep them from freezing shut. (But let's hope the cold is nearly over!)
• Wax and seal – After a winter washing (and in the fall) apply an additional coat of wax to all exposed metal. If you do it yourself, use a hand-held hair dryer to warm the metal surfaces before applying the wax and warm your buffing rags in a dryer to help the wax better adhere to the cold metal surfaces. But better yet, have it professionally waxed.
• Quality spray protectors should be used on all exterior rubber or vinyl surfaces. It may be best to spray it on an applicator instead of spraying the product directly onto the surface. This will avoid any overspray onto the paint.
• Carpet cleaning — If your vehicle's carpets are stained from the salt mixture, the best treatment is hot water and white vinegar in a 50/50 mix put into a spray bottle, though it may not smell good. If you have your vehicle cleaned professionally on the inside, we will be sure to leave it smelling fresh!
Jaffarian Auto Spa packages start at $39.95 and you can schedule an appointment by calling (888) 234-2854. Your vehicle deserves a trip to the spa after the winter we just experienced!

Is it Tebow Time on Capitol Hill?
Six years after the Denver Broncos drafted the Heisman Trophy-winner, Florida Republicans seek to draft Tim Tebow for a congressional run. Ander Crenshaw, in office since 2001, recently announced his retirement. His Jacksonville district encompasses Tebow's home, business, and foundation.
Is it Tebow time for Congress? Former QB urged to run for open seat in Florida. @TimTebow #tcot https://t.co/XrWnksPl3V
— Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) April 15, 2016
i predicted Tim Tebow would be GOP US Senator one day soon…He was backup NFL QB when i made that prediction. https://t.co/rwAHkdEpji
— Wayne Allyn Root (@WayneRoot) April 15, 2016
If he's running for anything, @TimTebow should run for Rubio's Senate seat: Tim Tebow eyes Florida House seat – https://t.co/HdAD7de1SO
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) April 14, 2016
The Washington Examiner reports that Jacksonville-area strategists have reached out to the former Florida Gator and already have begun putting together a campaign team should Tebow decide it's time.
Should Mr. Tebow decide to go to Washington, he would follow J.C. Watts, Heath Shuler, and Jack Kemp in making the transition from the pocket to the Beltway.
"Like his career with the Denver Broncos, the primary game is going be extremely competitive so Tebow may have to once again come from behind late in the 4th quarter in order to pull this off," GOP communications guru Ron Bonjean told the Examiner. "If he were to become the Republican nominee, he would be a shoo-in because it is a safe Republican seat."
The quarterback's NFL career strangely went south after defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers for a Denver Broncos overtime win during the playoffs following the 2011 season. Tebow took a beating in a loss in Foxboro the next week and then took a seat on the New York Jets bench for the following season. The New England Patriots cut him at the end of the 2013 preseason, with the Philadelphia Eagles doing so in 2015.
"I try not to be anxious for anything," Tebow told Breitbart Sports right before that final cut came down last year. "It's just how I try to approach life."

Roman Semko asked:
I have setup courier with imapd-ssl on ubuntu. Everything works fine: ssl certificates validate (on ubuntu/thunderbird and mac/mail) and login works, too.
The only problem is that it ALWAYS takes about half a minute for the handshake. If I do
openssl s_client -showcerts -connect myserver:993
I get "CONNECTED(00000003)" and then it hangs for half a minute
The time between the command and until I receive in mail.log:
myserver imapd-ssl: Connection, ip=[::ffff:18.104.22.168]
on the server logs is always between 29 and 32 seconds. Any idea what could cause that?
Postifx, HTTPS seem to respond lightning fast.
I have tried to connect from an hotel and it seems to work fine. So my guess is that it's an issue of firewalls on either my home router or the server's firwall (ufw/iptables). I have read somewhere that when either of the systems has a firewall up, the courier seemed to take ages to login/authenticate. Some guy (http://de.comm.software.mailserver.narkive.com/GIvIajz6/courier-imap-sehr-langsam-mit-iptables) suggested that it happenens to courier when iptables are set. However, disabling them in my case didn't do the trick..
My answer:
Courier imapd tries to do reverse DNS and ident lookups by default. Make sure you disable these, as one or the other (or both) is the most likely cause (and doing reverse DNS lookups at connection time leads to bad security).
For instance:
/usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/couriertcpd ... -nodnslookup -noidentlookup ...
Check your system's startup scripts to find out how it wants to add these options to the command.

We got up this morning, and got the kids off to school. If you saw my previous post, then you know it was our son's seventh birthday today. After dropping the kids off at school, we came home and got ready for the day. We headed into town, having to be home by 10:45 to get our daughter. We needed to pick up a birthday present and supplies. Bubby requested an Angry Birds birthday, but after searching a few stores we settled on Avengers. Bubby is obsessed with fishing these days, so we knew a pole who be the most appropriate gift for him this year. We got everything we needed and headed back home just in time to pick up Sassy.
I dropped 374 and Sassy off at home, and I was off to work. I left work halfway through my shift so we all could go to Bubby's school and surprise him by having lunch with him. As soon as we were done, I was back to work.
Next on the to-do list was taking Sassy to get her hair done for dance pictures. I got to visit with a friend, and fellow fire wife. She's a hair dresser, and worked her magic on Sassy. I have no patience or talent when it comes to hairstyles, so we left it to the pro! I must say, it turned out beautiful! All the dance moms raved over her, and asked to get set up with appointments for recital day!
Pictures went off without a hitch. All the little girls looked so cute. I can't believe our dance season is almost over! Or how much our girls have grown since their first season dancing together last year.
After all pictures were snapped, it was back in the car to head back home. We ordered dinner on the way. We had been planning a surprise birthday party for Bubby since last week. My grandfather just had hip surgery, so we decided to bring the party to him. We decorated his house up for Bubby in full Avengers mode. I was beaming with excitement for him to walk in.
I picked Bubby up from our house - he had been staying with my sister while we were at dance pictures. 374 took my sister home, while I told Bubby we had to go pick up his birthday dinner. We picked up our pizza. I played it off as my mom had a pizza order too, and wouldn't Granny be so happy that we delivered her pizza so she didn't have to pick it up!
The look on his face was priceless when we arrived. There were a few balloons out front, and he was curious as to why. My husband was waiting on the porch with a camera....
Here he is pointing out the balloons. Not at all catching on to what's going on. The poor kid didn't even think we had got him a birthday present. I felt bad, but I was so excited to surprise him. I had a surprise party when I was younger, and it's one of the birthdays I remember the most.
The night ended the best way it could - food, cake, presents, family .... and most important one happy birthday boy. Here's a shot of him enjoying his birthday gift....
I'm so glad 374 was around to lend a hand, and enjoy the festivities. I'm not quite sure how I would have made it through the day without his extra set of hands!!

Happy New Year!!
We had a fabulous Christmas and New Years break, but today it's back to work!
This morning I listed a new original painting that I actually finished just before Xmas - so it's my last painting for 2011! It's called "Bird Song", and it features a big green eyed girl with a rose in her hair and a little bird friend. I think it's a little finch?
|"Bird Song"
The original is up in my eBay store for $129, or you can buy it through my Facebook page for the special fan price of $120.
There are also prints available -
Today I have a commissioned painting to finish, and I might get the chance to finish off a little fairy painting I've been working on. I hope you all had a great Christmas!

Mother's Day Tea Party – FREE Recipes
I think my most favorite meal is afternoon tea even though it's a meal I rarely get a chance to indulge in these days. On childhood visits to my grandparents house in the Philippines my grandmother always made sure everyone was home for "merienda", the Filipino version of afternoon tea. The light meal was always served on her wrought iron kitchen table at 4:00 p.m. I don't recall actually having tea, I think my grandfather did, but kids were served juice or hot ...

Over the weekend I finally worked up the motivation to pull out the ONE tote of Christmas decorations I'd had stored in my parent's garage and sort through my goodies. Unfortunately, during it's time in the garage my tote was kind enough to play host to a mouse... who left me lots of little presents. How very "tis the season" of him. Luckily most of my stuff made it through the hibernation just fine. After a another trip to my parent's to pick out some of my ornaments and grabbing the rest of my totes from the storage unit I was ready to rock and roll. Or at least decorate!
|The little snowman and gingerbread house are actually a salt and pepper shaker set!!!
I love decorating for the holidays. The lights, the snowmen, the trees; they always brings a smile to my face even when I'm in a terrible mood. I find such joy in going through all the holiday treasures I've acquired over the years and finding just the right spot for them. Over the last few years I haven't been able to decorate as much as I would have liked because my living spaces have been so tiny so I've been totally jazzed about gussying up the new place.
|I might have a slight snowman addiction!
I think one of my favorite things this year was putting up our tree. I've had trees before but they were always little things, and usually consisted of metal wires and jingle bells. But this year I splurged and bought a 6 1/2 foot pre-lit tree at Target. I got some classic green and red glass ornaments and silver tinsle to go with the Coca-Cola ornaments we picked up in Minnesota when we stopped by to visit Ben's grandparents.
|Not normally a tinsel girl but this year I'm really feeling it!
One tree might be enough for most people but let's be honest, I'm not most people so I'll have two trees thank you very much! I feel in love with this little neon green tree and super bright ornaments several years ago when a normal sized tree just wouldn't work. I set this up in what Ben affectionately refers to at the "man" room but since he hasn't taken ownership (e.g. put his darn posters up) I staked my claim! He acts like he hates the tree because it obscures the tv from his usual spot on the couch but he hasn't moved it yet so I'm calling his bluff!
|Mini tree and yet another snowman... told you I had a problem!
When Ben and I moved into the house in July, I made what some called a "questionable" decision and put my massive dresser in the dining room to use as a buffet. Well friends, that questionable decision turned out to be genius because I'm able to display even more of my lovely holiday treasures! Oh and some totally adorable (if not a bit out of date) pictures of little E!!!
|How adorable is little Evan?
|Yup, even more Evan! And a musical Coca-Cola Santa!!!
|I thought about swapping out my puppy poster but I love it too much! Plus the red adds a little something, don't ya think?
Ben, or my little Grinch as I've refered to him on occasion, was adament about not helping me put up the decorations because (and I quote) "if you put them up you just have to take them down!" Despite his bravado, Ben was a huge help in putting up our newly acquired Christmas village. Though his helpfulness might have something to do with the village being his and what not... Oh well, he's tall and can reach heights that even a chair cannot help me achieve!
When we were sorting through all the village pieces I came across the Drive In below and knew it had to come home with us. *Favorite Holiday Tradition Alert* When I was growing up, Mom made us watch White Christmas, and horror of horrors, sing along! I'm not going to lie but I used to dread it; however as I've grown older I realize what an awesome tradition it is and how much I enjoy watching the movie and singing along. Having the White Christmas Drive In is just so fantastic and will be a forever reminder of Mom and our tradition!
|Snow, snow, snow, snow....
|Letters from the (L)edge
I'm not 100% finished but I really love coming home, snuggling up on the couch and just staring at all the pretty, pretty lights!
So my loves, what was your favorite holiday tradition growing? Is there a tradition you've carried into adulthood? Share please!!!

Catherine & James wedding at Sandy Cove
When couples get married, one of things they wish for the most of all is good weather on the day. This is especially important when you have chosen to have your ceremony outdoors! Catherine and James needn't have worried. In fact this was possibly the hottest day of the year, or at least it felt like it!
Catherine and James chose the wonderful surroundings of Sandy Cove for their wedding and the first photo from this blog is the view from Catherines' bridal suite where she was getting ready along with her bridesmaids. Not bad eh?
Catherine asked if I would do her a favour and drop off an envelope to her groom-to-be James in one of the rooms below and asked if I could capture the moment he opened the card inside. Turns out the card was informing James where they were going on honeymoon which was a nice surprise for him. New York and Vegas, lucky boy! James then asked his best man to accompany me back to Catherine where he was to hand her another surprise present, a Gucci handbag, perfect for walking down 5th Ave in New York!
Soon it was time for Catherine to make her big entrance where the awaiting James and guests (and me) were all literally sweltering in the sun. What a gorgeous setting for a wedding by the sea. Then everyone headed inside and into the relative cool of the restaurant for the wedding breakfast and speeches. The speeches were both funny and moving and there were a few guests with tears in their eyes. Then Catherine and James headed to nearby Combe Martin beach for their photos along with one of the large balloons Catherine had chosen for decoration, she even agreed to let it go up up and away for one of the photos. When we got back to Sandy Cove there was a nice surprise in the shape of a Hockings ice cream van, a welcome sight on such a sweltering day!
Catherine also threw her bouquet which was skilfully caught by one of her bridesmaids, great leap Sarah! Then it was time for the evening festivities in the marquee. There was lots of dancing and messing around for me to capture which pretty much rounded off a brilliant day. I think the photos show what a fun day this was and I wish Catherine and James all the very best in their married life together and thanks for letting me be a part of your fab day.

A gabled sunroom is traditionally considered a difficult installation, but not for the professional at Midwest Construction.
Midwest Construction and Oasis All Season Sunrooms can design and build your gabled/cathedral sunroom from your custom design or pick one of our C.A.D/Standard size rooms. Gabled rooms can have a shingled roof and we can tie them into you existing roof line so it looks like it was on your home forever.
Serving Des Moines, Mason City, Grimes, Southern Minnesota, and Most of Iowa
Gabled/Cathedral sunrooms have a roof line that allows more of the natural light to shine through and with a front wall of glass, it give you that feeling of being outdoors.
Here's a gabled roof success story from one of our associates about an awesome project and a very satisfied customer:
"I received a phone call at our Grimes (Des Moines), Iowa Showroom/Warehouse from a homeowner located in Indianola, a community just south of Des Moines.
She explained and her husband had purchased an Oasis All Season Sunroom after attending our 56th Annual Spring Open House. She also explained that when they purchased, we were in a time crunch, she wanted this done before her daughter's high school graduation party.
Since our sunrooms are custom manufactured at the Joyce manufacturing facility in Brea, Ohio and our lead time was 6-8 weeks from date of contract to installation, we had to make sure we could make the deadline.
The Sales Reps explained to the production department the issues and concerns not only on the time frame but on the actual installation itself. Production took over and with site plans and building permits and ordering the room so it could be installed in time.
The crew Tony, Mike, and Anthony went to work diligently through all that Iowa's weather could bring them and completed the project.
In our conversation, she said she couldn't be happier the job was done in time for her daughter's high school graduation and the 180 or so people who attended the function loved the new All Season Sunroom.
The Oasis All Season Sunroom was installed under an existing roof. The old brick walls and existing concrete was removed. Midwest Construction's crews installed a thermally engineered insulated floor system with frost footings per Iowa codes to ensure the homeowner's comfort from the insulated floor systems.
Midwest Construction supplied and installed Oasis Model 2600 Sunroom walls with Cardinal LoE 366 Glass with Argon Gas to keep the sunrays out during the summer and letting the sun heat your room in the winter."

It's difficult to anticipate the next shift in restaurant consumers' preferences and need states, but operators can count on one expectation heading into 2015: Consumers will expect more from their brands, especially in the areas of technological amenities and food quality. Meeting those evolving demands will require restaurant leaders to invest heavily in their brands. […]

Canadian Consumers Connect Customization to Value
September 16, 2014 by Patrick Noone Leave a Comment
The proliferation of create-it-yourself menu items (such as the build-your-own-burger option at Montana's Cookhouse) and concepts (Subway, et al) is evidence that consumers want the ability to customize their food to their exact specifications. Interestingly, many of them also feel customization options can enhance a restaurant's value proposition. Two-fifths of consumers (41%) polled for Technomic's […]

On December 28, 2011, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice – Divisional Court released its decision. Many of us attended before the Divisional Court in Toronto on October 28, 2011 when the Court heard the argument of the Defendant Attorney General of Canada and the responding argument of the intended representative Plaintiffs, Marcia Brown and Robert Commanda.
In its 6 page decision, the Divisional Court disagreed with Justice Perell, the first judge who ruled that the case could go forward as a class action proceeding, provided our pleading was amended and provided the Court approved the litigation plan.
Justice Perell had accepted that the facts, as presented by Marcia Brown and Robert Commanda on behalf of 16,000 fellow aborignal persons, contained good enough reasons for the 60's Scoop to be redressed through a class action. This action, according to Justice Perell, would be a case where any aboriginal person who was placed in a non-aboriginal home in Ontario between 1965 and 1984 could join in and have access to justice for the loss of their cultural identity as a result of what happened during the 60's Scoop.
It still is that case, one about 16,000 children who lost their cultural identities when placed in non-aboriginal homes (not residential schools), and the federal government did nothing to help them preserve their culture and traditions and language.
The Divisional Court is an appeal court. The judges were Associate Chief Justice Cunningham and Justices Pardu and Mulligan. In an unanimous ruling, the three judges disagreed with how Justice Perell made His decision. They ruled, in effect, that Marcia Brown and Robert Commanda have to re-start their case all over again, and they have to do it before a different judge.
The Divisional Court's ruling has to do with the question of proper procedure under the Class Proceedings Act, the statute that governs class proceeding actions in Ontario. The ruling of the Divisional Court has caught the attention of legal experts, and one expert has written a commentary about it in the Lawyers' Weekly newspaper. The link for it is:
There is also a recent article in the Toronto Star. The link for it is:
We are working hard now to appeal the decision of the Divisional Court. The first step is an application to the Court of Appeal for leave, or permission, to appeal. Deputy Grand Chief Terry Waboose of NAN and Kenn Richard of Native Child and Family Services of Toronto are helping by submitting affidavits as to why and how this case is one of "public interest" or important enough for the Court of Appeal, Ontario's highest court of authority, to review the decision of the Divisional Court and decide what is the fairest legal answer to the procedural problems involved in this case.
The Divisional Court also ruled that Marcia Brown and Robert Commanda have to pay costs of $25,000.00. The Defendant Canada asked for more costs than that. This part of the ruling is also a concern and why we are asking for leave to appeal is because, of course, Brown and Commanda and none of the class members who want to be heard, have anywhere near that kind money to pay for the costs. If persons like Brown and Commanda have to pay those costs, then how can any of the survivors of the 60's Scoop ever be heard and ever have access to justice?
It's now our turn for an appeal, as it was Canada's from the first decision.
We started working on this case in 2003. It is now 9 years later. We may have to go to the beginning, return to the clearing in the lands and start again, walk a different path into the "forest of justice". That is why I, who have recently joined as a helping manager to the class action, have called this posting "The hero's journey".

October 1st is approaching quickly and opening the marketplaces on time represents the Obama administration's biggest challenge to fulfill the affordable healthcare promise to extend coverage to uninsured Americans, including those who have been denied coverage in the past because of pre-existing conditions. Since the Supreme Court upheld the law last June, though, officials have had to overcome many hurdles, from states' reluctance to participate, to critics' predictions of unaffordable coverage, to unexpectedly tight budgets and the simple lack of infrastructure and support. Some see chaos, a few see entrepreneurial opportunities and others are taking a "wait and see" approach how Obamacare will be administrated in its first round.
A quirk in the law provided generous funding for consumer outreach in states with their own marketplaces, but little for states with a federal exchange. That could be a problem since polls show that most Americans know little about how the new affordable healthcare law affects them. Many that are confused about who to call and how will affect them include the young, the elderly and those that do not speak English.
There are also technical challenges: supporters of the new law like to compare shopping on the exchanges to buying an airplane ticket on Expedia or Priceline, but building the back-end system is far more complicated, requiring systems at state and federal agencies to be able to talk to one another in real time to verify an individual's income and citizenship status, and determine eligibility for federal subsidies or Medicaid, the state-federal insurance program for the poor. That system also needs to connect with the computers run by insurance companies to accept the enrollment and process accordingly.
Thus a healthcare call center has several challenges in assisting new enrollees into the process between systemic connectivity and a robust knowledgebase that is user friendly to assist those seeking enrollment. With little time remaining and lack of know-how, outsourcers are scrambling to reach out to assist as a potential turn-key solutions provider. Several large traditional government contractors have been awarded massive contracts but have little experience in the design, set-up and deployment of call center operations. Clearly the initial enrollment process will be flawed with errors and technical issues. The challenge for the outsourced call center will be in adapting through a hectic new process and platform with little time to develop SOP's as regulations and policies continue to change.

What is I AM LA MODE?
I AM LA MODE is a crowdfunding platform specialized in fashion. It aims at helping those with a project related to the world of fashion to find the necessary funds in order to achieve their projects.
In those times of financial crisis, companies suffer and thousands of brilliant business ideas go up in smoke. I AM LA MODE wants to help project holders, focusing on the fashion world. The idea is simple: helping entrepreneurs to develop their projects by encouraging internet users to support them in exchange for presents, varying in relation to the amount donated.
What does a campaign leader do?
A campaign leader is a person who wants to develop a project. The idea has to be original and creative. Indeed, anyone who is involved in fashion can launch a campaign: bloggers, photographers, illustrators, fashion designers, writers, painters...
What does the campaign involve?
Before starting a campaign, it is important to define the objectives you want to convey to the public. This will help to form a relationship between you (the campaign leader) and the contributors during the determined time period (a maximum of 2 months).
The campaign is composed of 4 parts: video, profile, project, compensations.
What should the video contain?
The video and visual elements are essential to the understanding and readability of your campaign. The video must not exceed one minute, so that your message directly reaches potential contributors. Your video must also be an original creation which represents your personality, profile and project.
What is the campaign profile?
The profile will be uploaded into the I AM LA MODE webpage. By writing a short paragraph (around ten lines), you will create a bond with the public.
A detailed guide will be provided to you to help you to write your profile.
What does the project involve?
The project can be defined as mind's work which needs to be financed. Your profile must include visuals, as well as your personal profile describing what inspires you. You must also include a clear and precise explanation of your objectives in order to answer the public's question, "how will fund-raising help you?"
Examples of projects:
- The launch of a new collection
- The organisation of a fashion event
- A photo shoot
- A photography exhibition
- The production of clothes, bags, jewellery…
- A photo book
- A closet sale
- A shop opening
- A fashion truck
- The list is endless, feel free to come up with new ideas.
What are compensations?
They can be items, event invitations or services. In short – presents that you will offer to contributors in relation to the amount donated.
Who are the contributors?
They are people who will donate funds to your campaign in exchange for compensations.
Guidance throughout your campaign.
I AM LA MODE team will become your coach and follow your campaign. We will provide you with a free e-book which will define a strategic communication plan for you to follow, in order to optimise your campaign.
