text: Here. Still a few minor bugs in IE (technically "Beta" ), but it's pretty much done. All I have left is to finish the form. Any opinions, positive and negative are welcome. The only thing that bothers me a bit is it's simplicity. I'm thinking about adding something to the top right corner area, but I'm just not sure what. I also know it's a bit content-heavy, but I really wanted to keep it as a 1 pager.

Every time I bring this out, the cats get nervous and at the same time kind of excited.
Dante cannot take his eyes off of it.
There is a true love/hate relationship between him and the "thing".
It's a vacuum cleaner.
The cats hate it when it's making crazy noise and blowing dusty air out, but it's off now.
Let's check it out close!
Kiki still doesn't trust that this is really switched off.
Look how close Kiki and Dante are!
The awkwardness between these 2 is now gone!
Because of the vacuum cleaner!
"Is this mine?"
A big boy needs a big toy to play with!!

When indigenous health worker Paul Christian began training to use new eye-technology equipment for remote communities, he had no idea he'd become a patient.
But through the training, his eyes were tested and he was able to be treated when found to have problems with his blood vessels.
He's one of more than 1000 indigenous and older non-indigenous people from the Torres Strait Island and southern Western Australia who took part in a trial involving a free eye screening at a remote local community health centre.
The trial of the CSIRO-developed remote telehealth system, called Remote-i, identified 68 patients at risk of going blind.
A special camera captures full high-resolution images of a patient's retina, which are then forwarded to a city-based ophthalmologist via a broadband satellite connection.
Releasing the results on Tuesday, the CSIRO's Professor Yogi Kanagasingam said eight of the 68 had severe eye disease and could have gone blind if they hadn't been screened and received immediate treatment in the city.
The other 60 were at risk of developing disease and now needed to have their eyes monitored regularly.
He hoped the trial would lead to an expansion of the screening to other remote areas, noting the major cost benefit to the health system as well as to the individuals.
NBN will launch its first satellite later this year which will help facilitate such services to rural and remote areas.
The release of the results follows a Medical Journal of Australia article describing the progress made in closing the gap for vision between indigenous and non-indigenous patients.
Dr Marian Abouzeid, Mitchell Anjou and Professor Hugh Taylor from the University of Melbourne, wrote that while gains had been made, much needed to be done and increased government support was required.
"Up to 94 per cent of vision loss in indigenous adults is avoidable or amenable to treatment," they wrote.

Amy Parker and Leanne Cook Present at the 2016 World Blind Union/International Council for Education of People with Visual Impairment General Assembly
September 2, 2016
Amy Parker and Leanne Cook, of TRI and the National Center on Deaf-Blindness, along with Carolyn Monaco of George Brown College, presented at the 2016 World Blind Union/International Council for Education of People with Visual Impairment (WBU/ICEVI) General Assembly, on August 22, 2016 as part of the ICEVI Day program.
Education for Children with Visual Impairments and Additional/Multiple Disabilities or Deafblindness.
2012, the U.S. Department of Education asked that the National Center on Deaf-Blindness (NCDB) to take on the responsibility of developing
high quality, accessible materials to support the practice of
intervention for students who are deaf-blind.
Using a participatory approach, which included families, professionals, interveners, and people who are deaf-blind, NCDB has been working with community members to develop and field test a multi-media curriculum to support awareness of intervention. As these multi-media materials have become available (26 different modules), more international partners are using the information to provide training and awareness of intervention.
Through our partner at George Brown College in
Canada, the community conversation has expanded to include dialogues
about what the practice of intervention means across the globe. Participants at
this interactive demonstration learned about the accessible design and
the content of the Open Hands, Open Access (OHOA) modules, and about
how to register for free to use the materials with groups of learners.
Participants also engaged in dialogue about the international movement around the practice of intervention for all individuals who are deaf-blind, and explored how open access educational resources that are designed with community members can help achieve the U.N. Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
Click here for more information about the National Center on Deaf-Blindness.
The 2016 World Blind Union (WBU) / International Council for Education of People with Visual Impairment (ICEVI) General Assembly took place August 18 to 25, 2016, in Orlando, Florida, USA, and was sponsored by the National Federation of the Blind.
WBU/ICEVI 2016 aims to improve the quality of life of those who are blind and low-vision by providing a common platform on which advocates, innovators, consumers, and service providers can expand both intra-regional and international networks, share information, and learn about new techniques and service models. WBU/ICEVI 2016 brought together participants from around the world, making this an important venue for collaborating and networking around key blindness issues.

Sometimes I don't know what I find more offensive: the price tag on a pair of Christian Louboutin stilettos, or the height of the heel. They're both so absurdly high that I can't afford to, monetarily or physically, take a pair of his famous red-sole shoes home with me. And that's fine. If I had my heart set on a sexy pair of heels that looked like Louboutins, there are plenty of fakes out there to choose from. But even though they may be cheaper, they're still insanely high. And that's where they lose me. There's nothing less sexy than a woman teetering in stilettos all night, taking baby steps, and looking at her feet when she could be walking confidently in a pair of heels not quite so towering.
Funny part is, Louboutin himself agrees with me. He told Grazia magazine that if women can't walk in heels, they shouldn't wear them. A to the men.
I certainly fall into that category. Three-inchers are as high as I'll go, and if they don't have a toe platform, forget about it. As a New Yorker who's constantly walking, there's no time for blisters, pinches, or gasp, walking slowly. I gotta be on the move, yo, and can't be inhibited by uncomfortable shoes. Mobility trumps expensive style.
There are some ladies out there who aren't willing to give up their Louboutins even though the shoes hold them back. I'm great friends with a few of these crazy birds who "need to sit down" when we're out dancing, who "need to take a cab five blocks," or who "can't leave 'til it stops raining." Why? All because they wanna wear their six-inch heels out on the town.
They should take advice from Christian -- if you can't walk in them, don't wear them. The point of his designs is to make a woman feel and look sexy, but that message gets lost when you look like you're in pain, like you're uncertain about your next step, or if you're sitting out on the fun. Confidence is sexy, and if you can wear high heels all night long without a peep, then by all means!
But if you can't, maybe consider shopping around for a smaller heel that doesn't detract from your inviting self-assurance.
Would you ever wear a pair of heels that you couldn't exactly walk in?

The birthplace of the regulation school is France, at the beginning of the 1970s, arising at the start of the "crisis decades" for capitalism (Hobsbawm, 2003: 408). The first members of the regulation school came out of the Parisian research group Centre d'Etudes Prospectives d'Economie Mathématique Appliquées a la Planification (cepremap). Some of the most renowned among them include Michel Aglietta, Alain Lipietz and Robert Boyer.
Following Boyer, we can identify some of the central themes of regulation theory, which in principle went hand in hand with the study of the 1973 capitalist crisis and later, mainly due to the new dynamics of capitalism, was diversified into a set of more complex questions seeking to identify the base institutions that are necessary and sufficient to characterize capitalism, and from there understand the capitalist functioning and cycles to reveal its transformation, whether by selection and efficiency (as the classical approaches claim) or by intervention and policy (Boyer, 2007: 13-14).
In this way, the regulation school was established on the basis of "the re-foundation of critical thought," which had been weakened prior to the 1970s by the resurgence of neoliberal orthodoxy and the Marxist crisis (Bustelo, 1994: 150) The regulation school was born differentiating itself from neoclassical orthodoxy by including elements from two heterodox schools of thought. On the one hand, it is inspired by Marx's work and interpretations regarding capitalist functioning, and on the other hand, it draws on concepts from the Keynesian heterodox theory and the importance of this perspective for institutions. As such, the regulation school emerges as a multidisciplinary approach, mainly based on historical and economic factors, but also drawing on sociology, political science, law and labor relations, among other fields.
The development model is a central focus of analysis in the regulation school, conceived of as the result of "the specific articulation of a capital accumulation regime and a regulation mode within each social formulation" (Neffa, 2006: 302).
Two fundamental concepts arise from this description: accumulation regimes (such as production and consumption systems) and mode of regulation. We define accumulation regime as the growth scheme of a national economy for a certain time period, determined fundamentally by social production relations, reproduction and exchange (Neffa, 2006: 280). The accumulation regime contains "the set of regulations that ensure a general and relatively coherent process of capital accumulation that allows for reabsorption and postponement of imbalances and distortions inherent to the process itself" (Boyer and Selliard, 1997: 201). The accumulation regime is thus established based on the historical and social conditions of economic and political configurations. Regulation theory therefore analyzes the reality of productive structures and social organization; in other words, productive and financial conditions, commercial relations and forms of labor organization.
The regulation mode refers to the social rules and norms that control and determine the accumulation regime, mainly through interaction with various participating economic and non-economic agents. This generates a set of norms on which functioning is based to allow for long-term adjustment of the dynamics and conditions of production and consumption. The regulation mode will be determined by the institutional and structural forms that promote, condition or restrict societal behavior, encouraging the reproduction of a dominant structure and fundamental social relations (Boyer, 2007: 63).
Regulation school authors agree on the identification of five fundamental forms of regulation that should be studied to characterize a development model. These are as follows: monetary form and regime, market forms and dynamics, the role of the State in development strategy, interaction with the international system, both in terms of insertion in the productive structure of the global market as well as adherence to the international regime that regulates multilateral relations, and finally, salary relations as a broader configuration of the capital/labor relation.
Analyzing these structural forms of the regulation mode allows us to reach a broader understanding of development strategy and its impact on a society. To measure these changes and provide a more thorough analysis of the variables that suggest the start of a development conversion process, we briefly explore the main features that led to the crisis of the neoliberal model. Later, we focus on analyzing the new period starting with transformations to the regulation mode and its scope in the accumulation regime.

Grade: D- (for no D)
Doing it at: n/a NO Doing It :sob::
Catnip: Ballet; A Foreign Affair; Virgin; Breaking the Rules
Shame Scale: Shame on this book for invoking Dirty Dancing and then having no sex.
Fantasy Cast: No cast for a disappointing short book
What do we taste like?: Chocolate sweetness
Book Description:
A man dances the same way he f*#ks. His stamina, his rhythm, the slow grind of his hips. Some people are born to it, others learn through years of careful study. And dancers? We f*#k best of all. The moment I saw her, I knew. Her innocence is intoxicating. My lust is fierce. Primal. To watch her dance is to know the torment of true temptation. She will be mine.
I have a thing for male ballet dancers, I blame Julian Marquet, and the release of this video a few months ago:
I asked Mary if we had anything in the treasure trove of smut that is our family library that featured a male ballet dancer and she sent me back First Position. And I was so pumped guys, its a serial, but I figured with talk of being the best of all at fucking in the synopsis I'd get some good down and dirty toe-shoes action. It let me down, you guys.
First Position opens with Annalise newly arrived in Rome, for summer shows with the American Ballet Academy, she's the daughter of a former Prima Ballerina who is pretty disappointed that her kid is in the corps waving a rose back and forth (h/t to one of Mary and I's favorite movies Center Stage). So, there is a lot of pressure for Anna to win a solo and become a steady soloist with the company before she's in her mid twenties and a hag by ballet standards. Annalise is trying to be a good girl but she gets lured away from her classmates sanctioned tour of the city by music playing nearby, she follows the sound of the music until she finds a troupe of street performers. Annalise is particularly captivated by one of the male dancers, a handsome swarthy guy who is making her feel things in her naughty places with his moves.
As Annalise is clapping for the troop her purse gets snatched and she screams for help, to see someone dart through the crowd after the mugger. It is hot dancer of course. Hot street busking dancer who is not a dansuer and knows no ballet. Sighs guy, biggest sighs. I was starting to feel really misled, much like when I thought I was getting my dream bar baby book, and this one is so short there was not much time to redeem itself.
I'm going to spoil what little plot there is, if you want to be surprised scroll from hot guy in tights to hot guy in tights:
Raphael brings Annalise her purse, thinks she's the most beautiful girl in the world (as boys do in these books), and invites her to a party after curfew. Even though Anna is a virgin, and ballet is ostensibly the most important thing in the world to her, and she doesn't know this foreign boy in a strange city, she sneaks out of her dorms to meet him. No good decision making for our little girl in tights. Annalise drinks only soda, and confesses her total innocence to Raphael. She makes out with him in an alleyway. He's obsessed with her after one kiss and now she's the most important thing in the world to him and he'll do anything to have her. Because this is how love works.
Since Annalise is only supposed to be dancing while in Rome she has to sneak out again to see Raphael. He buys her gelatto even though she's been on a diet since before the onset of puberty –I do feel bad for her and her weighing of almonds for snacks — it's like a mouth orgasm for her. They make out again, she almost comes from kissing and light foreplay (SURE). Raphael is making her break all kinds of rules but she thinks its worth it because they're in this insta love. Until she sprains her ankle sneaking back into the dorms. She yells at him to go away, her life is ruined. He understands her pain but he'll never stay away. They've seen each other three times. SHE IS HIS LIFE NOW.
The book ends. Her hymen remains intact. I rage.
Can anyone recommend a book that has both an actual male ballet dancer AND actual sex? Do a girl a solid.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Two stocks fell in premarket trade Wednesday following the roll-out of a slew of new products by technology giant Apple Inc. AAPL, +0.62% GT Advanced Technologies Inc. GTAT sank 9% after the news that Apple would not move toward broad use of sapphire cover screens, which GT provides. Goldman Sachs analyst Brian Lee cut the stock to neutral from buy, adding that, "this is disappointing from both a timing and volume perspective for GTAT." Analysts also suggested that eBay Inc. EBAY, +2.04% would face greater competition for its PayPal mobile payment service following the announcement of Apple Pay. "Apple launched a strong initial version of its payments product, which is likely to be competitive with PayPal," wrote J.P. Morgan analyst Doug Anmuth, who continued to rate the stock at overweight. Shares dropped 1.1% premarket.

There's an exciting Irish horror film making its way to the Tribeca Film Festival in the coming weeks by the name of THE CANAL. Directed by Ivan Kavanagh, THE CANAL is of the ghost story variety that looks to make quite a splash during its festival run. While we don't have much to hand over to you guys on this one just yet, we did manage to get a look at the film's eerie festival poster. Dig on that below!
The film is set to have its world premiere on April 18th. It goes like this:
Sitting in an empty theater, a film archivist watches the grainy footage that will be his undoing. David and his wife are perfectly happy--or so he believes. When he finds out the home he shares with his wife and son was the scene of a ghastly turn-of-the-century murder, David dismisses it as ancient history. That is, until the sinister history ripples into the present and casts a shadow over life as he knows it. And when a looming secret shatters his marriage, David can't help but suspect the dark spirits of the house are somehow involved. In his drive to unveil the shadows hidden in the walls, David begins to descend into insanity, threatening the lives of everyone around him.
THE CANAL stars Antonia Campbell-Hughes, Rupert Evans, Hannah Hoekstra and Steve Oram.

Since I usually recommend making scabbards from wood if you have the skill and tools to do so, I feel compelled to share some information from a recent conversation I had over at SFI.
I brought up a personal project of mine where a wooden scabbard seemed to be causing rust on a sword blade. Jeff Ellis identified a likely cause being that I may have used Titebond II or III wood glues, which have a reputation for making steel rust. He recommended Titebond Original as well as Elmer's wood glue and, in fact, Elmer's white (all-purpose).
Another possibility we discussed was the use of linseed oil to seal the bare wood. Thinking back, it makes sense that gluing a wooden scabbard together and then giving it a moisture-resistant finish (including such things as drying oil, paint and paste wax) could easily result in moisture being trapped inside if it isn't allowed to dry for a good long time.
As a final note, it's well-known that the tannic acid in oak can corrode steel, so it should be avoided in scabbards and hilts. (I have not made this mistake myself, but it is worth mentioning.)

Love is in the air for Luis, Jessy
Celebrity sweethearts Luis Manzano and Jessy Mendiola confessed love to each other during the 36th birth anniversary of the actor-television host last April 21.
"Thank you for coming into my life. You're the best thing that happened to me. I love you," said Manzano, during an episode of "Family Feud" game show on ABS-CBN last Sunday.
Earlier, Mendiola gave Manzano a sweet birthday message on Instagram.
"Happy birthday my love! Thank you for making me believe in love again;"
"So much has happened, but here I am falling more in love with you each day,"
"You make people happy by just being yourself and I am very proud of that,"
"You deserve good things because you are a good person inside and out. I love you very much and I will always be your Chopie," said Mendiola.
In March, Manzano considers his relationship with Mendiola as "very, very steady, according to an interview on ABS-CBN.
Manzano also said that he respects Mendiola's "timetable" when asked about getting married.
"I'm not forgetting the fact that she's only 24 and I'm turning 36 on April 21st," he said.
"Para sa akin, I completely understand the fact that she still has so much responsibilities for herself, for her family, and I will never take that away from her. I respect her timetable the same way she respects my timetable," Manzano added.
"But when she's ready, I'm definitely right by her side. We're definitely taking our time."
Manzano also said he and Mendiola have many different views despite the age gap.
"I mean her being a bata, medyo bata pa talaga siya, iba ang mentality niya. 'Yung sa akin naman, being a bit on the old side, but we still get along. You think na bata 'yan baka we are not on the same wavelength, pero we are," the son of Rep. Vilma Santos said.
Manzano said that they are planning more beach trips this summer. "For April, May, mayroon kaming beach trips... Gumagawa kami ng time. I think she's very busy, at the same time ako, I'm very fortunate to be working, so we have to put in that extra effort to spend time with each other." - ROBERT REQUINTINA/TEMPO

Are we too rushed?
I was like, no, there is so much to do.. And then checked myself and said.. you know what, why not? I think a break would be nice.. Just some time to basically do nothing. Dinner was ready, V was off to sleep, house is unpacked...let me actually take this time for myself.. and relax.
But something was not right, all the time with the candles blowing and the soothing music in background, all that kept going through my mind was oh i should do this, i should put that furniture there, oh, for V, i should make this for lunch, for SD, get this for fathers day, for me do my nails while i just sit!
And then it struck me, are we always too rushed? The 45 minutes were supposed to be just unwind, and not think of chores but to actually just relax.. And alas it was not.
Of course, i felt good after it, since body was relaxed and was very happy to get a break.. but the mind was not as relaxed. I know i should have just closed my eyes and let the music take over.. but no, the multi tasking brain of ours comes in play!
And i think, that's true for all of us at different levels....
~While driving, we listen to NPR to get news updates, sometimes oh so annoyingly check blackberry's for the emails.. make calls to India.. well just use the time,
While i drive right?
~While cooking, we'll do the laundry.
~While playing with kids, we'll have the Roomba do its magic in other rooms.
~While lounging on Mag. Mile, we'll check carters for the baby hat we need to buy so badly..
~While relaxing with a movie at home, we will have the laptop open for the best deals for home theater system.
~Once in a while when i do hit the gym for my relaxation, i will always have my favorite show that i missed, or listen to the E-book have been meaning to finish off..
So you get my point.. we are very used to multi-tasking- over working and always being rushed and hurried... We do not just sit back and enjoy the process of things..
I remember seeing my dad, a very busy man of course, but his two hours in the morning are dedicated to himself- he will get up at 5 go for the walk, do the yoga, go for the swim do the pranayaam and totally enjoy the time of unwinding and freshening up. He would always stop to smell the flowers, to feel the morning mist on grass during the walk! Its only after all this, will he pick up the paper, or start the computer to make the morning calls to us here! The rest of the day, he will be multi-tasking all through out. But the time for relaxing, he is enjoying the process.
Why are we so rushed? Is it our hi-tech lives or us never having enough time? Why?
I know i should.. stop... relax..smell the flowers and take a breathing moment!

Yep...I guess the reason for our inability to relax is due to the inherent need to keep pace with everything happening in the world...be it work, household chores,nurturing a baby,entertaining, socializing...there is this implicit fear of being left out in the race of life...though in the end the race is with one's own self :-))...like you said, love thought of taking the time to smell the flowers, smell the earth after the season's first showers of rain and feel the morning mist on the grass...aah...it's a pity all of us can't find the time for these small pleasures of life...

I agree with we forcing ourselves in this race.... and i sometimes fear, we will burn ourselves out too soon.
Well, on my end, i am taking the time now to have V teach me to slow down.. since she will sit for minutes just gazing at flowers or sit on the grass... and now i will do the same with her without rushing it up!

One of the things you need to be aware of when you deal with idealogical enemies who are rabbit people is that they won't play fair, so taking an attitude of honour into your engagements with them will NOT end in your favour.
While K-selected wolf people may be more willing to use violence, being brutal and aggressive when they fight, there are usually codes of honour or some overarching rules by which they conduct aggression in order to reduce the risk of damage to all parties, especially if they come from the same in-group.
There is no benefit to the group from disastrous infighting that saps much of it's strength. K-selected people are at their core pragmatic with a strong emphasis on cooperative group-fitness. Ritualised combat as much as possible to determine the stronger, is the wolf way of things.
This is not the same from rabbit people.
Your idealogical rabbit enemy will not hesitate to use every dirty trick in the book in order to get on top even if it means screwing everyone over. Rabbit people have no concept of proportion or how widespread dirty play will lead to an amoral societal structure that will eventually be disastrous for all. The concept of fair play is alien to a rabbit because they don't like the idea of competition.
Much less is the idea of proportional response (another concept in K-selected ritualised combat). The rabbit people will think that doxxing your details, misrepresenting that debate you had with them to your company, and painting you as a sexist, racist, xenophobic person that needs to be fired is entirely acceptable. If anything, the more mastery you show over them, the more they are probe to resort to such measures. This is why they think a website that reveals the personal details of people for causing butthurt to them under the guise of preventing "bullying" is a good idea.
The SJW thinks nothing of doxxing, career sniping, bold-faced lying, misrepresentation, false accusations and all that. They have an instinctive drive to defend the grass patch at all costs and any competing narratives that threatens to pull things back to the realm of competition and fair play threatens them.
And you will become a threat when you show that you are able to shrug off and debunk most of the SJW boilerplate. If they can't win you over in reasoned debate (which they usually assume is a one way transmission of SJW gospel to the ignorant), they will take any means to make sure you are not a threat to it.
Rabbits are generally cowards and will run from predators, but that does not mean that rabbits can't be violent. Rabbit violence is generally chaotic, gruesome and involves several rabbits ganging up on one to tear them apart, or a mother killing her entire brood. Rabbit violence is predicated on relying on using the power of an overwhelming majority to bear on a defenceless few. There is no ritualised combat with the rabbit people and violence is used in a chaotic, antisocial and ultimately destructive manner.
Approach the rabbit people not as if you would approach another wolf, with the intention of engaging in ritualised combat to determine who is better. Approach them as a predator approaching their prey, and know that your idealogical enemies are out to destroy you, so you best be ahead of the curve as an insurgent.
When dealing with SJWs, do not expect any morality from them. Don't expect the rabbit people to give you any quarter, and likewise you should give them none.

Do you see them?!?!
Christmas Trees!Nothing can land on relaxation and happiness like a lead balloon quicker than Christmas decorations before Halloween. I'm not even talking about decorations in the stores, (which I know they put on the shelves as soon as they clear out the school supplies) this is done by the city. My tax dollars at work, people.

BBC World buys broadcast company in Japan; increases translation hours
BBC World has announced the purchase of its broadcast company Satellite News Corporation in Japan and an increase of its Japanese translation service from 60.5 to almost 90 hours a week.
BBC World has been a shareholder, together with ITX (formerly Nissho Iwai), of the Satellite News Corporation (SNC) since 1994. SNC is responsible for the marketing and distribution of BBC World throughout Japan and in March 2002 it became the first company fully registered and licensed to operate under the new Japanese Broadcast Utilization Act.
The announcement that BBC World, under the umbrella of its parent company, BBC Worldwide, has become the sole shareholder of the company makes the channel the first foreign company registered to broadcast in Japan, a company release says.
Commenting on the announcement, Patrick Cross, managing director, BBC World, said: "This is by far the most significant commitment that we have made to the Japanese market to date. We know from audience research in the region that viewers value BBC World and the unique translation service we provide on breaking news so it is a great opportunity to be first in the market with our own company as well."
BBC World has also announced a considerable increase in its Japanese translation service to nearly 90 hours a week. BBC World news in Japanese is translated live and uses more than one voice, unlike many other bilingual transmissions in Japan which are delayed by several hours and use a single voice for all interventions. The total number of translated hours comprises both live news and pre-recorded Japanese versions of BBC World's current affairs, lifestyle and documentary programming. Translation is carried out by a London-based team of 16 regular translators, backed by some 15 others working on a part time basis and produced by a seven-strong production team.
"This is a great endorsement of the work we do here in the Japanese translation unit. Everyone has worked very hard to provide an excellent service on breaking news stories and given the pace of gobal news events in the past year. I think we have proved we can provide the highest quality output which is now being reflected in the increased hours," said Shigeru Tabata, Editor Japanese Translation Unit, BBC World.

Visit to Baltimore
This quilt was was of the first workshops I offered. In 1995 I became a member of the Waterloo County Quilters Guild and soon after I was asked to teach an applique course. I taught 2 workshops and the result were the 2 first( Baltimore Album) quilts we made for the Mennonite Relief Sale, sold in 1999 and 2000. The last one also was accepted at the IQF in Houston, where it won an honorable mention in the group category. Next I was asked to teach a workshop for Ruffled Elegance , at that time the quilt store in St. Jacobs. This quilt, from about 1997,was the result. The 4 blocks are from one of the books by Elly Sienkiewicz, the border is my own design. The was a 6 month course, one evening a month. I did a lot of 3 dimentional flowers for this one. Except for the binding it is all done by hand. Hand quilted by my mother-in-law Hilda Helmuth. Since then I have taught this workshop a few more times, but it has been retired for quite a while now. The last few weeks I have been finishing some small projects and this animal quilt is one of them. It will go to our guild "Smile Quilt" project and will find a home with a sick child. The doll in the picture is the only doll I ever had. I never really played with it. I was rather in the barn, helping my father. I had lost track of it, till I visited my sister. She had rescueded the doll at some point and taken it home. Now she sits on a chair, upstairs in the hall. And she is fully dressed in a full set of 100% cotton, knitted underwear, made by me during my years in public school. I have no idea, where the dress comes from.

The most important meal of the day can easily become the most boring meal of the day, especially if you are keen on keeping it healthy. A routine starts to take place by making the same oatmeal and eating at the same time. Quickly, this can make the start of your day very bland. Here is five great tips to mix that oatmeal up, but still keep it healthy.
Add New Toppings
This one is the most obvious of fixes for bland oatmeal, but I should include it anyway. Adding new ingredients to anything will spice it up, but you can add virtually anything to oatmeal, an almost anything can go with it. This gives you lots of room for new combinations and flavors. My favorite is granola and any type of berry. This adds in good fiber and grains, but also makes it sweeter.
Fruit Bowls
No, not the usual fruit bowl with fruit inside of the ceramic bowl. Here we use the fruit AS the bowl. Cut a melon or cantaloupe in half, clear out the seeds in the middle and cut around the edges to make the bowl however big/small that you want it, then fill the bowl with oatmeal. I usually top the oatmeal with the fruit from the center of the melon that I cleared out, then I add whatever other toppings I like. With cantaloupe I use granola and coconut, and with melons I do some honey and berries. This will definitely spice up your breakfast, and it is very healthy.
On-the-Go Fruit Oatmeal
This one is great, it is really healthy and it adds more precious time to your morning. All you do is add the oatmeal and whatever toppings you like to a mason jar and close it up. You an do this the night before and reheat it in the morning and bring it with in the car, or you can make it in the morning and put it by your work/school bag to eat it on your commute. Since it is on-the-go this will give you more time to sleep in, stand in the shower, or just let you take more time in the morning as a whole because you will not waste time eating breakfast.
Baked Oatmeal
Baking oatmeal is a great way to change it up. You can pack the oatmeal in a container and eat it on the go, or serve it at a family bunch. Here is how to make it.
- Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine oats, and any other toppings you want.
- In another bowl, whisk eggs and milk. Stir into oat mixture until blended. (optional)
- Spoon into a greased baking pan. Bake 40-45 minutes or until set. Serve warm or cold.
If you want to top with fruit you can add that on top after you take it out of the oven. It is better to not bake the fruit with the oatmeal because they could lose flavor and good nutrients.
Egg White Oatmeal
This type of oatmeal tastes just like you whipped it together with heavy cream but really you just used egg whites. This keeps it very healthy. Warning: this is not vegan unlike all of the other recipes. Here is how you make it.
- Start cooking oats how the directions tell you on your stove.
- After the oats have absorbed most of the water, pour in egg whites and whatever spices you like. Whip vigorously with a fork until mixture is well blended.
- Raise the heat to medium and continue to cook for 4 more minutes, bringing the oats back to a simmer and stirring frequently.
- When all the water is absorbed and the egg whites have caused the oats to grow and size and appear creamy, cover the pot and remove from the heat. Let the oats sit covered for 5 minutes.
- Stir the oatmeal, add any toppings you like.
Reminder: The ratio of oats to egg whites is 3/4 cups oats : 4 egg whites. Then you can mix in other ingredients and toppings as you wish.
This is great for a Sunday meal when you have more time to make the breakfast. It tastes just like you used a heavy cream or half and half, but you really only used egg whites. I hope you enjoy it!
I hope this helped you spice up your routine breakfast! Please share your own tips in the comments below. As always, thank you for stopping by!

Because of the holidays i had a longer weekend than usual, starting friday and ended monday, which was great ... but i did not have any free time anyway because of my siblings.
My parents were busy working all that weekend so i was sent to Copenhagen in their place to attend a family party sunday. It was quite sunny and the air condition was broken in that train carriage we were seated in and it was almost unbearable.
Saturday started out with a stroll downtown Strøget to watch the carnival. Once again it was really sunny but this time i only wore a light dress, so i did not get all sweaty :b
I loved the dancers and the fact that everyone can participate; babies as well as elders, women as well as men - there were also disabled dancers as well and there were a few women that were pregnant.
I took quite many pictures... and the best about me is that i RARELY delete any of them - even if they're really bad... but this time i have to have them sorted. I don't have that much space in either my phone or computer to keep bad pictures.
Afterwards we ate snacks at McDonalds and tried out their new smoothies with mango, pineapple and yogurt. It was quite good and a cheaper alternative to Barasso's Mango-Lime Smootea (which unfortunately doesn't exist anymore). We started to notice that some of the restaurant's guests were dressed really colorful... and rather "lightly", until we found out they were the dancers from earlier. XD
That's where i will be in two months !
While many others played cd's this guy down below sang live. I wished i had filmed it, because it was such a catchy song :(
Later that day we watched Eurovision 2013 and well, Denmark won !! after collecting the votes from 34 countries out of 39 it was already declared that Denmark won, because there was such a huge gap between the first and second place, Aberzejan, that even though they scored max (that's 12 points) and Denmark got 0 in the next 5 rounds they wouldn't be able to pass DK.
So congratulations Emelie De Forrest !! two years in a row a girl with bare feet on the scene have won :b
And there's already a parody of it on youtube by some swedish guys XD
Another thing that i liked about this year's Eurovision was the design of the logo.
Sunday my uncle Cau Vu held a party for his daughters' communion (Lucia and Helena) and it was a 12 course dinner... yes i've gained weight ... but i had a fun time running around to be a babysitter for Michael and Dennis so my other uncle, Bac 4, could enjoy the party.
Michael got tired after the 4th course so i borrowed the car keys to take him for a ride, so he could sleep. Just before i was about to leave my aunt came running out to get me back inside. My uncle, Cau Vu would turn 40 the 20th so we had to sing for him, while we all were there together. Almost everyone from my mothers family stood together and my aunt gave me the microphone because i had to start the song. After the 2nd verse i suddenly forgot the rest of the song and let the others sing for me until i remembered it again and by that time, we were at the 4th verse.
Lucia and Helena did their own performances. They played violin beautifully and they looked stunning in their small white dresses.
Quynh and Dennis
Even my little cousin Bon thinks Dzu looks like a retard when she snapchats...
Monday, before i went back to Odense i took Mr. Mono, my niece Catly and my siblings out for dinner at Herreford Steakhouse. We all got ourselves a burger, but mine was with blue cheese and it was actually quite good. It was actually REALLY GOOD because we bought a deal and therefore it wasn't expensive at all. After we went home and i was so sleepy when i came home that i couldn't think about anything else than relaxing on my bed and so i did.
another snapchat freak..
Today, was the last day with "real" school and tomorrow we will get to know the last exams and finally we have "read-holiday". I have 6 exams in total until june 28th, so i'll have to prepare for each and one of them, but "read-holiday" just means that i don't have any classes.
One last thing i want to share with you guys ... is more Eurovision clips. I'm a little nostalgic so i dug up some old clips from my favorite Eurovision year - 2006 !!!!
I found the preview clip they show after all the performances are done. Bosnia&Herzegovina, Norway, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Switzerland, Moldova, Russia, Lithuania, Latvia, Israel, Sweden, Ireland and of course that year's winner LORDI from Finland with "Hard Rock Hallelujah".
and i just mentioned 12 countries out of the 24 participating ... Well they were quite good that year^^
Ohh ! the last one !! Norway's winner song from 2009. The song itself is good but the violin gives it a country feeling....
- did you know he was this song was the first to get over 300 points and it atually has the highest overall score so far Eurovision history . he got 387 point! :D

Benefits of Bridging Loans
Bridging loans are specially designed as a short-term scheme, thus payments are not made over a long period as done by most other types of financial lenders.They are the cheapest and easiest alternative to finance your property purchase, development project, or whichever project that you are working on.It is possible to have the loan credited to your account within the shortest time possible after application.These loans are very convenient as lenders do not undertake credit checks as long as you are able to offer some of your possessions as a security of the funds borrowed.The information below will enable you to get a clearer understanding of the advantages of bridging loans.
It is evident that when a borrower applies for loans such as residential mortgages and business loans from regular loan lenders and banks, it takes quite some time before the loan can be processed, approved, and credited to the borrowers account.When having an emergency or when facing a situation that requires immediate financing and you are not in the position of paying up, these loans are not reliable as the processing takes quite a long time.The bridging loans are the best solution to receive reliable funds within a very short time.Borrowers are assured of obtaining the loan as quickly as possible once they have filled in the correct details, and the property selected to act as security is viable.
It is possible to use varying kinds of property as security for the applied bridging loan.This includes property such as flats, warehouse facilities, a house, offices, farms, development land, sports arenas, and even plots for building.Other assets that can be used as security for your loan include your leasehold and freehold property.In most cases, loan lending facilities only allow standard construction to stand in as security of the loan applied.Buildings that are constructed from materials such as wood, concrete, steel, and iron are considered to be in the category of non standard construction, also referred to as unusual construction.It is very difficult to use such property as a source of security to a high percentage of mortgage lenders.However, bridging loans accept all kinds of property, both standard and unusual construction.
Bridging loans are simple to acquire, thus lessening the possibility of receiving a denial for your application.This is because their aim is to cater for the needs of their clients, ensuring that they are able to handle their ventures.The process is usually quite fast as they do not have to analyze the customers income and credit rating, as most of other lenders do.Once a customer provides a convenient source of security, the deal is closed.

Pharrell Williams on Supporting Hillary Clinton: 'I Did It So I Could Sleep'
Pharrell Williams takes the cover of Esquire magazine's February 2017 issue.
Here's what the 43-year-old entertainer had to share with the mag:
On his music: "I think everything is given to us. Everything is. We didn't create it. It's being given to us in one shape or form. It is a deep delusion to think otherwise. I'm not the juice. I'm not the ice that makes it cool. And I'm certainly not the glass. I'm just the straw."
On his 2013 hit "Happy": "I noticed that there was a lot of pain going on around the world. Then you start thinking about why people might have needed that song, and it becomes very heavy."
On why he supported Hillary Clinton: "I did it so I could sleep. So whatever happens, I know I tried. This has kept me up at night. The kind of divisions that this nation is seeing�"it hasn't been this way since the 60s."

Porteranthus trifoliatus 'Pink Profusion'
Common Name: Bowman's root
We've been enjoying this great native for many years in our garden, since it was given to us by the Mt. Cuba Center in 2001. 'Pink Profusion' has clear pink flowers that are held daintily above reddish leaves on deep red stems. The best part is the way the flowers shimmer in a light breeze, as though they will take flight at any moment.

British GDP has shrunk for the third quarter in a row, falling 1.9% in the first quarter of 2009 according to the Office for National Statistics. The consensus expectation was a 1.5% fall.
The decline was attributed to weaker services and production output. It followed a 1.6% fall in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Total production output fell by 5.5%, compared with a fall of 4.5% in the previous quarter. Services output dropped by 1.2% after a decline of 0.8% in the fourth quarter.
According to Capital Economics, the provisional GDP figures suggest the recession has so far been even deeper than previously assumed.
Vicky Redwood, a UK economist at the consultancy, said in a statement: "It's early days yet, but the drop opens up the possibility of GDP in 2009 as a whole falling by even more than the 4% we currently expect. It also deals an instant blow to the Chancellor's forecast of a 3.5% drop in GDP this year."
"For that to be achieved, GDP would have to be broadly flat from Q2 onwards – yet the surveys are already pointing to another fall of 1% or so in Q2."

Hello everybody,
Today i tried to install Antergos from the live dvd and i wanted to have KDE as my desktop, any how after two failed attempts i just searched the forum and i found how to resolve that issue and it was very simple i just used the [b:12dc0lf5]cnchi-dev [/b:12dc0lf5] trick and after the updated i finally had KDE installed.
I just noticed one thing which is i am installing Antergos on my Thinkpad X220 and while i was in the live dvd mode all my FN keys were working perfectly except the [fn+space] which is for zoom in and out but i was really so happy that this was the first time i see all my FN keys are working, and by the way this was an issue with all my thinkpads.
Anyhow after i rebooted into KDE none is working except the brightness and volume, The question here did i miss something or it is KDE.
and finally i really want to say thank you for making such great distro.

I've updated 2 pages this time as I missed last week. This is because I've been busy reworking the colour scheme throughout. It's put me behind a little as the last 6 pages of chapter 1 are still just line drawings and I had hoped they would be at least flatted out by now. Still I think it has been worth it and hopefully next week I'll have what I hope will be the finished colour.
I see I have a follower. Welcome Wendy I hope you are enjoying this little experiment.

Les Holroyd Interview, July 1998
This interview was conducted by Keith Domone for the official BJH fan club magazine, Nova Lepidoptera, and first appeared in issue #42 of NL in September 1998.
NL: I wanted to ask first of all what your feelings are now about the River Of Dreams album.
Les: In what respect, the music side of it, what happened to it or what didnÆt happen to it?
NL: The music side first.
Les: IÆm never satisfied. I always think I could have done better. I still think it sounds quite fresh compared with the last few albums, but I think we could have taken it a stage further, and personally I think we should have done it in a different studio. I think we should have got away from the area and totally isolated ourselves from all the normal domestic things that go on around you. The best sounding albums, in my opinion, are the ones that we did away from home. Time Honoured Ghosts and a couple of the albums that were recorded in London seem to have something that the albums that were recorded up here donÆt have and I put that down to having to having to have two hats on. ItÆs like being on tour - youÆre either on tour or youÆre not. At the end of the day you donÆt go home and start mowing the lawn!
NL: In recent years the albums seem to have taken a very long time to make, and thatÆs probably tied up with the same thing, is it?
Les: Yes, I think it probably is. For example, if you were to book time in a studio that was expensive... I mean we spent an awful lot of money recording in Germany and Holland, but that was just circumstances at the time because we were living over there or whatever, and there was that sort of money to spend on albums. Whether it was sensible that we spent that money, but we got dragged along with it, and the albums came out quite well, I think. But if youÆre in Manchester and you live in Manchester then it tends to drag on, because people go oh, you know, ōIÆll just take the afternoon off because IÆve got to do this with the kidsö. It does happen. If youÆre on the road you canÆt do that, so if you put yourself in that position where youÆre in the studio like being on the road and not a nine-to-five job, then youÆd probably save some time.
NL: Do you have any favourite songs from the album?
Les: My personal one was ōSo Longö. I wanted to spend more time on that - I would have liked to have taken it further. It went down very quickly and it would have been rather nice to experiment a bit longer, on all of the tracks really, to have spent more time on it, particularly on the vocals - I wasnÆt really too happy with the vocals at the time, I had a cold and one thing and another, but there comes a time when youÆve got to go for it and get it out of the way.
NL: Earlier you touched on the reaction to the album - were you very disappointed by that?
Les: Yes, I was - incredibly. I thought, because of the initial reaction from people involved in the record company, that we were onto something. The reaction from the media was quite good, but when we actually got out there there was an incredible absence of the record company from every event we played. These were big gigs, headlining over Art Garfunkel and people like that. There was a complete lack of interest, and I was extremely annoyed. I canÆt put that down to anything except the record company, which as far as I could see was in turmoil at the time, more than normal! I know that John was disappointed when we went on the road that there werenÆt that many people around, but there werenÆt that many people around for anybody unless you happened to be Bryan Adams! But, if you want to be Bryan Adams, or even Chris de Burgh, youÆve got to go out and work. You canÆt go on the road after a two or three year absence and expect it all to be laid there on a carpet for you. This is not 15 or 20 years ago, this is 1998 when the market is completely flooded with all types of music, and weÆre in a totally different generation to whatÆs happening now. No-one owes us anything, that is the bottom line. The promoters donÆt owe us anything, the record companies donÆt owe us anything and the fans donÆt owe us anything.
NL: IÆm not sure IÆd agree that the fans donÆt owe you anything.
Les: DonÆt take me wrong on this - IÆm saying you canÆt expect them to come along and say, ōYouÆve given us this music for so many years, weÆre gonna follow you foreverö. Circumstances change for everyone. You canÆt say that weÆre gonna sell x amount of records this year and the back catalogueÆs gonna keep selling and keep selling - itÆs not. If youÆre not on the road, the back catalogue doesnÆt sell, itÆs as simple as that. YouÆve got to be prepared to work at it, you canÆt sit back and say, ōOh well, weÆre a cult band, and thatÆs going to pull it through for usö, because it isnÆt. Those days are over, really over. Record companies havenÆt got the money to spend, theyÆre not interested in the future of artists any more. ItÆs just a product, and if it doesnÆt sell they just move on to the next.
NL: Bearing in mind what you said about working, is this a good time for the band to take a sabbatical?
Les: It was decided that for whatever reason, it wasnÆt happening, so it was time to take a break. It wasnÆt my personal decision, I can tell you that. You canÆt go on working when thereÆs so much thatÆs negative - you can only do it for so long before you think, ōIÆm banging my head against a wall here, and itÆs not getting me anywhere. IÆm writing good songs, IÆm doing them well, IÆm performing wellö, and I personally thought I was performing very well, better than IÆd done for a long time. ItÆs just annoying when at the end of the day, people donÆt think itÆs happening. The only thing I can say is it was a majority decision, but it wasnÆt mine. I would work live, it doesnÆt matter if itÆs five people or 5000 or 50,000, but weÆre not given the opportunity, more than anything from the record company we were with.
NL: Do you personally believe that BJH will record or tour again?
Les: We are actually planning something, which I canÆt tell you about, unfortunately, because the band havenÆt talked about it. It was just something that was mentioned, involving recording and maybe some gigs, but at this point in time I donÆt think Polydor in Germany are interested. I could be wrong, but thereÆs no use in pushing it.
NL: Did you enjoy last yearÆs tour?
Les: I did, yeah.
NL: You seemed to be enjoying the solo spots, and they were certainly going down really well with the fans.
Les: Right. Well, that again is something that could be worked on in the future, but weÆd have to see what the feedback would be, whether the fans would go for it. It would have to be under the umbrella of BJH.
NL: You wouldnÆt envisage touring solo, then?
Les: Me personally? The only time I would envisage that would be if I wrote something for example that was absolutely stunning for guitar and vocals, like a one-man thing, and then you could make a record and maybe do some gigs. There is no way IÆd go ōright, thatÆs it, IÆm off on my ownö. As far as IÆm concerned Barclay James Harvest is the three members and whatever happens next time that is with Barclay James Harvest.
NL: What are your own immediate plans?
Les: IÆm actually working on something at the moment, which again I canÆt tell you about! ItÆs nothing to do with the band, and at this point in time itÆs not totally fixed yet whatÆs going to happen. It is an exciting prospect - quite big, very big! ThatÆs all I can tell you.
NL: Is it a musical project, does it involve writing songs?
Les: No, itÆs not. It involves the entertainment business... No one knows about it, but for obvious reasons I canÆt tell you about it because if people find out about it, itÆs not going to happen.
NL: Have you been writing at all since the last BJH album?
Les: Yes, I write all the time. IÆve got about twenty ideas in total, and maybe three or four songs with lyrics and arrangements that have reached the point where IÆm not going to throw them away. IÆm not one for hoarding ideas for songs and bringing them back ten years afterwards. If they donÆt work, in my opinion, then theyÆre not going to work.
NL: What will happen to those songs now?
Les: I will just keep writing at the keyboard, and perhaps if I did come up with something interesting, IÆd have to go to Lindsay or David with what I would like to do. Hopefully itÆs going to continue. I have been in contact with Mel, we have been talking about what weÆre going to do. John obviously is off doing his own thing at the moment, but IÆve no doubt at all in my mind that if someone from England or Germany, France or Switzerland or whatever came up with an offer for Barclay James Harvest to do something, IÆve no doubt at all that weÆd get together.
NL: At the moment John is working again with Woolly, and the fans are asking the question ōis there any chance that the original four members of BJH would ever get back together?ö.
Les: No.
NL: Well, thatÆs pretty unequivocal. Why do you say that?
Les: Why? Because thatÆs gone, thatÆs past. As far as IÆm concerned Barclay James Harvest is the band that exists now. The band that existed for the majority of the time was from 1978 onwards. ThatÆs 20 years, and you canÆt just say, ōWell itÆs not working, therefore weÆll get the four together.ö You canÆt recreate something for the sake of the few people that want it. I canÆt see any benefits to the four members getting back together again. I certainly canÆt see it.
NL: Would you like to tour Britain again?
Les: If the time was right, yeah. IÆm never going to go out again and bang my head against a brick wall. WeÆre not 25 any more! A lot of things have happened lately which have changed my feelings about the future, personal things which you canÆt account for. From now on I just want to do what I want to do and I will not be pressurised or forced into any situation which I donÆt think is right, either for me personally or the band.
NL: Looking back over the bandÆs career, what have been the best moments so far?
Les: I think it was the early days when we were touring and not thinking about it, like that South African tour and the tour of Yugoslavia, but we were a lot younger then. You could do your own thing and not have to worry about the consequences! The Berlin concert - personally I donÆt think it was one of our better gigs, but it was an event. You couldn't recreate that.
NL: What would you like BJH to be remembered for?
Les: Just the music, I think, more than anything. The live performances; people always told me that the band was best when it was performing live.
NL: Any message for the fans who will be reading this?
Les: Just to reiterate that at this point in time, although there is a break, we are actually talking about various future projects. I personally think we should go out on the road - the band as it is now. I donÆt envisage any major changes in the band.
NL: Thanks very much for your time, and the best of luck with your projects.
Les: IÆll let you know nearer the time if I can. If it does happen it will open up new avenues which are not that far from where I am now.
NL: Thank you.
Les: Thank you very much.

The WA premier has described shark nets as "killing machines", saying that his government does not favour their use.
"They don't enclose the bay, they don't create a safe swimming area, they just simply kill marine life," he told ABC radio.
"They certainly kill sharks, but they also kill dolphins and turtles."
Mr Barnett said the government will continue to use nets that create swimming enclosures, which create enclosed swimming area but do not catch marine life.
Federal Liberal MP for Canning Andrew Hastings has called for shark nets to be used in WA as an option to keep swimmers and surfers safe, after a 17-year-old was mauled by a shark in NSW.
"Given the increase of great white shark attacks in WA over the last 10-15 years, I think it's high time we considered netting and other options as a way of preserving human life," he said.
Two West Australians were fatally attacked by sharks within a week this year.
Mr Hastings referred to reports that the Queensland and NSW governments are protecting non-target species caught in shark nets by implementing new technologies, such as electronic warning devices and baits that do not attract dolphins.
Sea Shepherd managing director Jeff Hanson said he agreed with Mr Hastings that people should be put first and for wanting loved ones to be safe when they go in the ocean, but that shark nets were not the answer.
He said nets have killed 85,000 marine animals in Queensland and are not proven as attacks have occurred at beaches with nets.
"You can't have a natural, healthy marine environment and not expect sharks to be there, and our marine environment on our WA coast is really healthy," he said.
"We have to learn how to live with that."
WA no longer uses permanent drum lines, which were controversially trialled in 2014 then abandoned after 172 sharks were killed, including some that were shot.
However Mr Barnett said the state government will continue to catch and kill sharks that pose a serious threat to public safety.

Houston-area substitute teacher charged with inappropriate relationship with student
A substitute teacher in Deer Park has been arrested and charged with allegedly texting explicit photos with an unnamed student.
Blake Saucillo was arrested Nov. 3 at his home without incident for the alleged student relationship which reportedly dates back to at least June.
Deer Park Police say on June 1 they were called to South Campus High School in Deer Park ISD for a report of the alleged relationship. Police said that a subsequent investigation revealed Saucillo and a student had been "sexting" explicit photos and videos to each other over a period of several days.
Saucillo has been charged with sexual performance by a child and has been released on $30,000 bond.
He was scheduled for a preliminary court appearance in Harris County on Wednesday morning.

that framework, they do everything they can to limit the costs of failure."
Go-it-alone entrepreneurs actively manage risk. Indeed, it's common for them to find a way to test the validity of their business idea before making it a full-time effort. As we will see, a surprising number of successful go-it-alone entrepreneurs start businesses in their spare time before they quit their day jobs.
For example, Niveus Media (www.NiveusMedia.com) produces an all-in-one low-priced entertainment PC that combines the power of a computer with the functionality of a digital video recorder (DVR), a DVD player, and an MP3 jukebox that has received rave reviews. The company's innovative business model was lauded in Business 2.0 magazine. Nonetheless, Tim Cutting, Niveus Media's CEO, is happy to point out to that he and his two partners built their entire business at night and on weekends while maintaining their existing jobs. At the time the Business 2.0 article was published, Cutting was an employee at Sun Microsystems.
What's particularly relevant here is that by maintaining their day jobs, Tim Cutting and his partners dramatically reduced the risk associated with starting their own firm. With a new baby in the house, he wanted to pursue his dream of starting a new business but did not want to put financial pressure on the business to yield instant profits. And, as he said, "What if despite all of the best-laid plans, we discovered a flaw in the business?" By starting it in their spare time, Cutting and his partners got the business off the ground with minimal personal risks.
The story of Tim Cutting and his partners illustrates two important tactics of go-it-alone entrepreneurs: While they are still refining their business concept (1) they reduce risk by gaining as much experience as possible with paying customers, and (2) they avoid putting pressure on the business for fast financial success by keeping their day jobs.
