|Re: How to query for number of active participants in the tomcat 5.5 cluster
|Fri, 10 Jun 2005 05:36:21 GMT
Hi, To answer my own question and for the sake of others. I think I have figured out the way how to query Tomcat for the number of active members in the clusters (that replicate sessions) using available MBeans. To make it easily available I put instructions on my blog - you can access detailed, step by step here: http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/eai/software/archives/004546.asp Please feel free to comment with any additions or better ways if needed. Thank you, Edmon http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/eai/software Edmon Begoli wrote: > Hi, > > Is it possible to query host tomcat for the number of active > participants in the cluster that host tomcat belongs to. > > If yes - can you please point me to the API, and possibly examples. > > Thank you, > Edmon > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The food was good. The rooms, although clean, were very scruffy and certainly not worthy of a 4 star grade.
some of the rooms didn't have shawer, they have bath without curtain
Location superb. Decor very elaborate ! Reception staff excellent - friendly and helpful. It was clean and our room was lovely
Breakfast could be better. Mini Bar was empty,
Yes, I really liked it to stay in the hotel for 11 nights.
Some noisy for the first days, but after ac was switched on all was ok.
The room was extremely clean and large.
There was almost no choice for the breakfast.
great location, good design, room warm! -- temp could be adjusted, helpful staff, good beds, overall very pleasant
The attentiveness of Pia, just a wonderful host, fed me my own menu including Tuscan Bisteke, was helpful with directions..............literally the best
Not a thing, everything perfect
Fantastic staff and food. The restaurant is excellent
The bed!
The room was big enough. The bed was soft and comfortable. The view out of the window was beautiful.
This is a really friendly and good value family-run hotel. They were very tolerant of my limited Italian speaking and extremely helpful when we asked where we could find somewhere to eat. The room was very clean and comfortable and the air conditioning meant that even in mid-July it wasn't too hot. It was beautifully quiet. The parking was secure and close by. The breakfast was plentiful and the coffee delicious. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a good value place to stay close to all the amenities in Montecatini. We will certainly be using it again.
Beautiful hotel, staff friendly and helpful. Excellent pool, perfect location, and excellent value.
Rooms are small, and no english speaking TV channels.
The location was excellent set in the park area but a 5 min walk into town. For the price the rooms were good we had a budget room with balcony which was better than expected. The breakfast was very good (served in or outside) as was the pool and public rooms. Nearby a funicular takes you to a delightful village where we had dinner on both nights. We loved Montecatini and would return, very relaxing after trekking round Tuscany.
Some guest left towels on pool loungers (mainly our American friends), this frustrated a few guests as some of the best spots were monopolised with towels!!!
Friendly staff, big room, excellent value for money, location near the centre.
The english spoken by the staff
Gone down market since last visit 4 years ago. Ran out of food on first night
Friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast and dinner. Close to the park. Excellent value for money.
The hotel was in a good place between Florence and Pisa (half an hour drive to each). The rooms were comfterble.
The shower was tiny and we needed to bend so we wont hit our head. The brekfast was very poor and did not incloded fruits, vegetables or eggs.

Valeggio sul Mincio Things to Do: 158 reviews and 173 photos
For economical and practical reasons, traditional building always uses local material. Valeggio stands in a moraine amphitheatre which overlooks the Po valley and there is no stone quarry in the neighborhood. Thus the church is built with pebbles extracted from the moraine soil. The outside walls are doted with numerous holes in order to drain moisture out of the walls. Iron grids have been set in each to prevent pigeons to nest inside and ruin the walls.

Leftist Latin America leaders are preparing to meet in Bolivia on Thursday following the controversial diversion of President Evo Morales's aircraft in Europe, the government said Wednesday.
Bolivian officials accuse France, Portugal, Italy and Spain of denying entry to Morales's jet late Tuesday as it flew back from Russia after "unfounded rumors" US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden was traveling on board.
"Several Latin American presidents are arranging among themselves to meet tomorrow (Thursday) in the city of Cochabamba, starting at noon," Bolivian Vice President Alvaro Garcia said Wednesday.
Among those expected to attend are Ecuador's Rafael Correa, Argentina's Cristina Kirchner, Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro, and Uruguay's Jose Mujica, among others, Garcia said, without giving a definitive list of attendees.
Correa earlier announced his intention to promote -- alongside Peruvian President Ollanta Humala -- a summit of the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) to discuss the incident.
The incident has sparked a bitter row, with Morales saying it "was like a near 13-hour kidnapping" and his government announcing it had lodged a complaint with the United Nations.
Latin American countries have joined in expressing outrage over the incident, with UNASUR demanding "clarification of facts and explanations as may be appropriate."

I was able to do that on the main category level by using the shortcode to display the 1 category on a page with a custom page template. But when you click through to an individual product, it uses the normal/default page template. Is there anyway to make any product in a certain category use a custom page template?

Song of Solomon (Song of Songs)
Song of Solomon (Song of Songs) Perspectives From Faith Communities In Practice
Getting Biblical in Daily Life
Jewish Perspective
Love poetry during services? Yes, please.
Jewish writers over the centuries have had their way with the Song of Songs. The allegorical implications of the text—that it's about God and the Israelites—were actually created in a midrash. Midrash is a form of commentary and creative writing in which a writer (often a rabbi) would supplement details to a biblical story to make it more accessible.
This allegorical midrash paved the way for the use of Song of Songs as a central reading during Passover, a holiday celebrating God's care for the Jewish people. Lines from this epic love poem are shared to express (shocker, we know) the special relationship between God and Israel.
Jewish messianists in the 16th century also used some text from Song of Songs (7:2) in composing Lecha Dodi, a messianic song about God and his bride that is sung in most synagogues today. And certain Jewish sects—particularly Sephardic Jews—still sing the Song of Songs while observing the Sabbath.
Who knew synagogue could be so romantic?
Christian Perspective
Jesus didn't seem to care too much about Song of Songs. You know how he's always throwing around quotes from the Hebrew Bible? Song of Songs never makes it into his speeches. But that doesn't mean biblical scholars haven't taken their hand at it. Many people read this book as an allegory for the love between Jesus and his followers.
Of course, some super-mystical people used it as an allegory for the relationship between the soul and Jesus (which also happens in Jewish interpretation). This sort of approach is often called bridal mysticism (the human soul as the bride and Christ as the bridegroom), which, just to be clear, has nothing to do with people who take weddings really, really seriously.
Of course, Christians are still thinking about Song of Songs today, but they're leaning away from allegories and into the work as an expression of romantic love. The late Pope John Paul II offered a new analysis of the Song in one of his speeches about the modern nature of marriage. This kind of modern analysis on such an old text is what keeps things interesting.

Getting behind the WSOP Final Table
The spectacle that is the World Series of Poker main event is unlike any other sporting event, but perhaps poker legend Doyle Brunson said it best. "It looks like a football game!" the 76-year-old said, looking out on the animated crowd of 1,500 at the Penn & Teller Theater in Las Vegas on Saturday. Brunson was on stage to say the honorary "Shuffle up and deal," the equivalent to baseball's first pitch. Before him was the November Nine, nine players who had survived the field of 6,494 at the World Series main event in July. And after a four-month hiatus, they were ready to battle it out for the title.
Brunson was joined by 2008 WSOP champion Peter Eastgate, who at age 22 last year broke Phil Hellmuth's 1989 record of being the youngest main event winner ever, at age 24. Eastgate was able to hold that record for only one year. Early Tuesday morning, 21-year-old Joe Cada became the youngest main event champion ever, claiming the $8.5 million top prize and the world championship bracelet. Unless another young poker protégé can beat Cada's record by a matter of months, he'll be holding the record for a while.
It was an exhausting and unprecedented 18 hours of play Saturday, beginning at noon and finishing when most casino visitors were eating breakfast, once the nine players had been whittled down to two -- Cada and 46-year-old Darvin Moon, a self-employed logger from Maryland. The two resumed play Monday, finishing in just under four hours.
Cada wasn't a favorite to win the title. Poker pro Phil Ivey was by far the most hyped player of the November Nine. Now the question was, Phil Ivey who? Ivey, who was seventh in chips coming into the final table, was the third player knocked out, much to the disappointment of gamblers who had picked him early on to win the main event at 750-to-1 odds and to the relief of bookies who would have had to shell out extraordinary dough if he won. Ivey's unmatched attention going into the final table was no surprise. He is considered the greatest poker player in the world, and needed to cement his legacy with a WSOP main event championship. Ivey appeared to be so distraught after he was knocked out, he snuck out the back door of the theater.
"I could tell that he really took this one hard," Ivey's close friend Freddie Seale said. "I've never seen him at a loss for words and this time he was just quiet." Ivey was a short stack at the table and was never able to battle back. He went all-in with ace-king against Moon's ace-queen, hoping for a double-up, but instead his tournament run ended. "He started with 9.8 [million], if he could have gotten to 20 million and play Phil Ivey poker, then basically the bracelet was going to be his," Seale said. "But he never got that chance."
Despite appearing distraught Saturday night after seeing the coveted title slip away, Ivey quickly rebounded. In fact, it's hard to believe he was upset at all. Less than an hour after busting out, Ivey was on Full Tilt Poker's site, playing $2,000-$4,000 Hi/Lo Split, and the following night Ivey was partying like he was celebrating a win. Ivey kicked off his Sunday night by playing craps at the Bellagio at 2 a.m., throwing down around 50 grand on the pass line from a stack of millions while his entourage watched by his side.
Ja Rule, who visited the final table Saturday, walked over and starts throwing dice. People who don't belong at their craps table are moved elsewhere. Floyd Mayweather passes by but sticks to playing $500 a roll on high-limit slots nearby. Ivey orders Patron shots for his crew of more than 20 people around the table, tipping the waitress hundreds, of course. This continues for multiple rounds. Phil decides he has had enough of craps and is ready to party. Security escorts him and his group, including Ja Rule, through the back of the Bellagio, through the service entrance and to an elevator, which leads them to the Bellagio's hotspot nightclub, Bank. Phil Ivey's coming to Bank is a very big deal. Such a big deal that the club decides to move everyone out of VIP to make room for Ivey, much to the displeasure of the groups who had bought bottles. "Take it somewhere else," they're told. Four tables are blocked off for Ivey in VIP, and soon multiple bottles of Patron, Cristal and Grey Goose arrive. Phil drinks more. His friends drink more. Girls come over and dance. Phil sits in the booth, maintaining his expressionless poker face. The night goes on past 4 a.m..
Meanwhile on Sunday, eight-place finisher Kevin Schaffel receives a text from sixth-place finisher Steven Begleiter over at the Bellagio, convincing him to join Begleiter at the poker room, where they discuss hands and talk about the previous day at the final table. "We got some good beat stories we'll be talking about for a while," Begleiter said.
Back at the Rio, Cada, who got hardly any sleep Saturday, makes the press rounds, stopping at Starbucks for a caramel frap, while his agent, Dan Frank, steps in as party planner and starts making plans for a post-party Tuesday, originally planned for the Palms, but then moved to Pure at Caesar's Palace. Title or no title, making the final two was already reason to plan a celebration. Especially considering the runner-up walks away with more than $5 million.
As in any sporting event, athletes have different strategies on how to prepare, and there were no exceptions with the nine final table players, whose pre-tourney routines all varied. Moon hit up the 3-card low-limit poker tables, where he'd become a regular, even playing on Saturday during a lunch break at the final table. Cada joined his girlfriend, Alanna, for a couples massage at the Rio on Friday. Schaffel's brother planned a party for his friends and family at Indian restaurant Gaylord at the Rio before the crew went to see the Terry Fator show at the Mirage. Begleiter hosted a party at Asian Bistro Tao at the Venetian. Despite his comped room at the Rio, Begleiter opted to stay at the Bellagio, keeping consistent with his routine four months ago during the main event. Frenchman Antoine Saout partied with friends 'til 2 a.m. at VooDoo Lounge at the Rio, where he'd partied until the early morning for the past couple nights. But for Cada, the partying would be saved for later.
Fast-forward to Monday for the Cada versus Moon showdown. It's 10 p.m. at the Penn & Teller Theater, and Motley Crue's Vince Neil is in the house to say the honorary "Shuffle up and deal" this time around. Neil is joined by two Vegas showgirls decked out in headdresses and large feather costumes that have a tendency to knock audience members in the face as they pass by. Even though there aren't nine different groups of friends and fans cheering in the theater this time, the energy is no less intense. If anything, it's just more evenly divided. You're a Moon supporter or you're a Cada supporter. A friendly "you're either with us or against us" attitude seems to be the sentiment. The lights seem brighter. The crowd more rowdy. The announcer reminds audience members not to scream suggestions during hands -- not that this is Jeopardy and someone has the correct answer, but because they don't want the players distracted. While it might be irritating to have random shouting, it's impossible to conceive that the noise would sidetrack a player any more than the obvious distractions around: There's dozens of cameras circling the table and, even more diverting, a pile of $8.5 million in cash bricks stacked in a towering pile on the poker table. Just a tad tempting.
Groups of 20-year-old co-eds in hollandaise-sauce-colored yellow T-shirts and hats on the main stage and in the packed audience are screaming for "The Kid." It's Cada's self-dubbed nickname, and it's spelled out on the Michigan logo T-shirts that arrived late Friday night. Many of the November Niners had personalized gear. Some were catchy, such as Kevin Schaffel's "Schaffel Up And Deal!" shirt with a cartoon version of Kevin on the front, while others were more prideful than comedic, such as third-place finisher Saout's T-shirts and scarves embellished with the French flag.
"Joey, Joey, Joey!" Cada's friends chant. "Mooooooooon," Moon's followers chant. "You got this, Joe!" says a friend, who's taken on a Johnny Drama-type role of supporter behind the rail.
While a few of the famous faces from Saturday such as Daniel Negreanu, Annie Duke, Mike Matusow and Chris Ferguson are missing at Monday's showdown, there are plenty of familiar faces in the crowd for the final faceoff. Begleiter is seated next to 2004 WSOP champion Greg Raymer, who is next to Schaffel, fourth-place finisher Eric Buchman and 2008's WSOP main event chip leader Dennis Phillips.
Moon began Monday with $59 million in chips, just $1 million more than he started with as chip leader entering the final table. "I had planned a little different in the amount of chips I'd have," Moon said Saturday, admitting he was a little worried. "I haven't played much heads-up." In fact, his hometown poker game usually splits the pot when there are two players left. Cada, on the other hand, began the final table fifth in chips despite getting down to just $2.3 million in chips at one point and looking like his final table hopes were gone. He battled back, though, and came to the heads-up showdown Monday with $136 million in chips.
Cada's first and last hands of heads-up play were pocket 9s. In the first hand, he lost a chunk of his stack to Moon's pocket queens, which began the logger's slow and steady, but aggressive chipping away at Cada's chip stack until "The Kid" was under $50 million. Cada eventually doubled up before the final hand, in which Cada went all-in with pocket 9s. Moon called without much hesitation, showing queen-jack suited. Cada was only a 52 percent favorite before the flop. But luckily for the Michigan native, the board didn't grant Moon one of his outs, and Cada became champion. The diamond encrusted bracelet was handed over. Cada's friends let loose, cheering like frat boys at a tailgate, gawking over the bling, while Cada's parents rushed over to the dealer, tightly wrapping their arms arond the young woman and thanking her like she was a family doctor who had delivered good news.
There aren't many kids like Cada. At 19 years old, the Michigan native bought his first home, paying for it in full. It's where he currently lives with his roommates, one of whom pays rent by cooking and cleaning. The guys sit at home most days playing online poker, which has been Cada's full-time job since he left community college to play cards. That decision served him well.
All nine final table players received at least $1.26 million, and whoever was knocked out first didn't get a penny more. That person was the short stack, London's James Akenhead, who grabbed a Miller Lite from the bar before his postgame interviews were over, admitting his friends back in London would be "gutted."
But a sweet million or two will certainly put any "gutting" feeling at ease. Moon walked away with a nice consolation prize of $5.18 million for second place. "If you can't have fun, why be out here?" Moon said. "Am I sad because I came second? Hell no!"
Although Cada will hand over half of his $8.5 million to an anonymous backer who paid for half of his $10,000 buy-in to the World Series, he's certainly not complaining. With millions of dollars in endorsements already in the works, including a deal with Poker Stars, he won't be worrying about money any time soon. On Nov. 18, Cada will turn 22 years old, and he'll have plenty to celebrate.
"It feels pretty good," Cada said after the win. "Not gonna lie."

I installed this plugin months ago, as I was bitten by the bug to round up all of my links to present on my personal blog. This plugin seemed to hold promise, due to its seemingly flexible configuration (judging by the screenshots). However, once I got into it to attempt to put it to use, I found that the lack of proper documentation (I don't learn from looking at pictures - read: screenshots) an incredibly complicated UI made it too much of an effort to get past the learning curve.
Unfortunately, I'm going to uninstall this and look for something a little easier (and I'm a coder and engineer).
Best of luck to the developer, and if he does provide documentation and unclutter the UI at some point, I may try this again.

Italian activists blockade key motorways and fight fierce battles with state forces
Campaigners against a high speed rail project have engaged in direct action across Italy. They have occupied nationally significant motorways, built barricades and set them on fire. Over the last two days that have battled with police and the armed forces, who have used, batons, teargas, water cannons, and bulldozers against activists. In other areas of the country there have been several occupations of squares and buildings in solidarity with the NO-TAV campaign.
No Tav Luca Abbà severely injured while resisting to an expropriation
No Tav activists were not expecting the police to expropriate until the following night, but they came in the morning, after an urgent order by the Prefect. On Monday 27th February they started to build the fences to enlarge the construction site, in spite of the 75.000 people demonstration that took place just two days before.
75,000 say no, but government goes straight on
Update (27 february 2012, 11:00 am italian time):
While we write, police forces are expanding the off-limit area, trying to clear the baita in order to demolish it. Fifteen protesters are resisting in it. One notav protester, chased by police, climbed on an electric pylon, and then fell down (from 10 meters high) after taking a shock. He's now under surgery in Turin, ambulance transportation has been delayed by police for almost an hour. Roadblocks and rails occupations by notav protesters have started in Valsusa and solidarity actions are being planned in all Italy. More updates later on.

Police repression against No-TAV movement
25 activists from all over the country were arrested in the repressive turn against NOTAV , while 15 more people were subject to precautionary measures and one french activist recived a prohibition of residence in Torino's province, which includes the Susa Valley. Only three of the arrested people are originally from the Susa Valley: Giorgio Rossetto, leader of the Turin-based squatted community Askatasuna and Guido Fissore, 66, member of town council of Villarfochiardo, and Mario Nucera, barber in Bussoleno.

Trouble on the Railroads in 1873-1874: Prelude to the 1877 Crisis?
Between November 1873 and July 1874, workers on the Pennsylvania system and at least 17 other railroads struck. Engineers, firemen, brakemen, and track hands as well as shopmen and ordinary laborers resisted wage cuts, demanded salary due them, and opposed such employer practices as blacklisting and the use of iron-clad contracts. None of these disputes was so dramatic or important as the general railroad strike in 1877, but together they prophetically etched the outlines of that violent outburst.

Class conflict and workers' self activity on the railroads: 1874-1895
The years 1874 through 1895 saw intense class struggle, much of it centering on the railroad industry. This struggle often took the form of working class self-activity, action organized by workers from the bottom up and carried out independently. Railroad workers did not wait for instructions or guidance from labor leaders, who often advised caution and conciliation with capitalists, but took action themselves.

A Hamilton County man convicted in late June of failing to pay more than $37,000 in child support received a five-year prison sentence Tuesday morning in Jackson Circuit Court.
Eric D. Lewis, 41, of Fishers, received that sentence from Senior Judge Bill Vance, who gave Lewis 197 days credit and 197 days credit time for the time he has spent in jail since his arrest in early February.
Vance said Lewis' failure to pay child support or to work during many of the years since his divorce from Kimberly Dawn Bartrom Lewis Hobson in 1998 only proves he has no intention of paying it.

Evan Vucci, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Democrats are grappling with an election-year dilemma posed by the Keystone XL oil pipeline.
Wealthy party donors are funding candidates who oppose the project — a high-profile symbol of the political debate over climate change. But some of the party's most vulnerable incumbents are pipeline boosters, and whether Democrats retain control of the Senate after the 2014 midterm elections may hinge on them.
The dilemma was highlighted Thursday as President Barack Obama's former national security adviser — and now a consultant to the oil industry — said Obama should approve the pipeline to send Russian President Vladimir Putin a message that "international bullies" can't use energy security as a weapon.
The comments by retired Gen. James Jones came as a top Democratic donor again urged that the pipeline be rejected.
Tom Steyer, a billionaire environmentalist, has vowed to spend $100 million —$50 million of his own money and $50 million from other donors — to make climate change a top-tier issue in the 2014 elections.
Steyer, who opposes Keystone, declined to say whether he would contribute to Democrats who support the pipeline, including Sens. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Mark Begich of Alaska, Mark Pryor of Arkansas and John Walsh of Montana. All face strong challenges from Republicans in energy-producing states where Obama lost to Mitt Romney in 2012.
Still, a spokesman said Steyer believes Democratic control of the Senate is important from a climate perspective.
Jones told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the Canada-to-Texas pipeline is a litmus test of whether the U.S. is serious about national and global energy security. Approval of the pipeline would help ensure that North America becomes a global energy hub and a reliable energy source to the U.S and its allies, Jones said. Rejecting the pipeline would "make Mr. Putin's day and strengthen his hand," he said.
Jones, who left the Obama administration in 2010, now heads a consulting firm that has done work for the American Petroleum Institute, the oil industry's chief trade group, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Both groups support the pipeline.
Landrieu, who chairs the Senate Energy Committee, pressed Secretary of State John Kerry on the pipeline issue Thursday at an appropriations hearing. Landrieu called approval of the pipeline "critical" to the national interest and said that in Louisiana, "it's hard for us to even understand why there is a question" whether it should be approved. The State Department has jurisdiction over the pipeline because it crosses a U.S. border.
Kerry told Landrieu he was "not at liberty to go into my thinking at this point," but added: "I am approaching this, you know, tabula rasa. I'm going to look at all the arguments, both sides, all sides, whatever, evaluate them and make the best judgment I can about what is in the national interest."
Polls show Americans support the pipeline, with 65 percent saying they approved of it in a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. Twenty-two percent of those polled opposed the pipeline.
Steyer, a former hedge fund manager, spent more than $10 million to help elect Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe and Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass., last year. In a conference call with reporters Thursday, Steyer declined to comment on where his advocacy group, NextGen Climate Action, would spend money this fall. But he noted the views of Landrieu and other endangered Democratic incumbents were well known.
"I think those senators voted on this long before 2014," he said, "so I don't think there's any real change here."

Lars Knoll is to become part of the Trolltech management team. As Vice President of Engineering, he will lead the developer teams in Norway, Germany and Australia.
In his position as the chief product developer Lars Knoll will coordinate product roadmaps and development with product managers.

Exactly a year ago, I took the plunge and decided to become an internet freelancer, helping people grow their business online. Going out into the big wide world was daunting at first and there were some ups and downs.
But now I've got to a point where I am an established freelancer, working with reputable companies such as Groupon, Xexec and Call Wiser. Here are my top tips based on what I have learned so far:
It's important that the people closest to you such as friends and family know what you do, because they are going to be the ones most likely to recommend you to potential clients.
Start by posting regularly about your expertise on Linkedin and Facebook. Share posts about your industry, write blog posts or get an interview with the local press and share it. Soon, people will start associating you with that particular skill, such as PPC or SEO, and they will recommend you to others looking for that service.
As a freelancer, you need to ensure that you are constantly getting work. Without a regular monthly salary, you need to keep busy. Making connections with others in your industry is key.
Initially, I got in touch with dozens of agencies and freelancers and arranged meetings with a few who were interested. Eventually, I had a strong relationship with a few companies who regularly referred me work and continue to do so.
Clients come in all shapes and sizes. Some will squeeze every penny out of you, have huge expectations and expect you to overwork. Other clients will treat you respectfully and value your expertise and these are the clients you want to keep.
There is nothing wrong with turning down work from demanding clients even though it pays the bills. It is better to focus on those clients that treat you well and pay you on time. Overall, you will be more motivated and happier with your work.
There is really no need to pay too much for office space as a freelancer. By avoiding commuting and office costs, you can simply keep more money for yourself.
If you don't have space at home, it's likely that friends or family have a spare room where you can work. Or perhaps someone you know has a spare desk in their office that you can use one day a week. And of course, every high street has cafes such as Starbucks that offer a place to work and free wi-fi.
Having a back-up plan as a freelancer is important because you never know if the work could dry up for a while. This is common during the summer months or the Christmas break where people take more time off work or don't want to commit until the busier season.
So having a plan B is essential, whether it's a side project that you are working on and can devote more time to during slower periods, or giving lessons to people on your expertise, either in person or through online portals like Udemy.
There are also freelancing platforms like Elance where you can potentially pick up work at short notice. Above all, being busy is key to being a successful freelancer.

Running your own sole trader business doesn't necessarily mean having to do everything yourself, and it's important to think carefully about how and when to call on the help and expertise of others. Here are some areas for which you might want to make use of a helping hand…
For lots of new business, marketing can be one of the more fun tasks. Creative promotion might seem like one of those areas you can do yourself; choose a logo, build your own website, stay active on Twitter, etc. And then before long other concerns seem more pressing, and you realise that common sense and enthusiasm only get you so far. Having someone keep an eye on your online (and offline) marketing each week – beyond the 'honeymoon period' – could prove vital to your success and momentum.
Here's a question. Do you know the difference between bookkeeping and accounting? The first refers to your day-to-day entering of incomings and outgoings; the second uses this information to build a more complex picture of your business's financial status and prospects.
You may have learned some key number-crunching skills already, but that still might not mean you're the best person for the job. An external expert may not care as deeply about your business as you, but in a funny way this can be good. Having someone keep track of the figures in a dispassionate way can help you to stay on course.
In the early stages, you might not be able to imagine how or why your business would face any legal problems. But there's an awful lot to keep an eye on – from employees' rights to health and safety. Having a supportive point of contact for legal advice and assistance is something you'll probably never regret.
This one is more about the psychology of it all. Yes, you're probably able to keep your place of work clean and tidy. And yes, you might be able to do this every day or two. But cleaning is another way in which your life and your business can start to feel like the same thing – and not in a good way. Arriving at a pre-cleaned place of work is one of those little extras that could make all the difference to your state of mind as an impossibly busy sole trader.

When starting a business, one of the big decisions to make is whether to go it alone or start up with one or more partners.
There are pros and cons to both approaches, but one thing is for sure – it's one of the most critical decisions you will make in your life. Not only can a lot of future prosperity depend on it, but it can also make a big difference to how happy you will be over many years to come.
If you're on your own there's no one else to fall out with; no one but you can decide to give up; have a family crisis or mess things up in some other way.
However, the right partner will usually double your financial resources and experience and you can encourage each other when times are hard. And the cocktail of skills you both have, along with the other factors, means that you're more likely to succeed.
If you don't have a partner and your business grows, you will need to employ staff. It's a big jump from no employees to one (let alone more), both in cultural and financial terms. If there is more than one founder, it's a smaller step.
When I was thinking of starting a business, for all of the positive reasons above I spent a lot of time looking for and wooing a business partner. I found someone with more entrepreneurial experience than me, who was great at raising funds and who brought with him substantial financial resources. Less than four years after we had started, we'd achieved a full listing on the London Stock Exchange and a business valuation north of £200m.
This experience can be balanced with plenty of other bad examples, of course. But it reinforces the point: deciding on whether to partner and who that partner should be is a crucial decision to make when starting a business.

If you're thinking about starting up, you must carefully consider whether to form a limited company straight away or hold off for a while and become a sole trader.
You may think forming a limited company will save you tax and must therefore be the best route. However, many start-ups incur considerable costs in their initial months. And even if you do not have sizeable initial outgoings, you should still factor in a realistic margin for error in your budgeting.
You will more than likely have a "learning curve cost" if this is your first time in business or if you're going to be operating within a sector of which you have no prior experience. In either case, you should not expect the same return straight away as your more experienced competitors.
If you make a loss as a sole trader, it can be set against your employment income for previous years, which in all likelihood will give you a handy refund after the first tax year. If you make a loss as a limited company, it can only be carried forward and set against future the company's profits. If the company never makes a profit, it will be wasted.
Even if you're more confident that your business plan will be a success, you may still profit from waiting until you form a company. As a sole trader, you can build up custom, contacts, brand awareness and reputation in the business. From a tax point of view, this goodwill can be sold to the company. Future drawings from the company can be taken in the form of a director's loan repayment, which will be especially beneficial if you expect to be paying tax at a higher rate.
You can set up as a sole trader by simply telephoning HMRC or registering online, whereas the route for a company formation is more complex. Ongoing accountancy costs are bound to be higher and Companies House will publish your company's financial results for anyone to see – including your competitors, suppliers and potential clients.
Yes, if your salary and dividends are organised properly, a company can save you considerable tax. It can also limit your liability to company debts. But the decision is not so straightforward. If you want to protect your trading name, you can always form the company and leave it dormant at Companies House until you are ready to start trading.
A limited company can save you tax in certain situations, but it is not always the best way to start out. A brief review of the options with your accountant could save you time and money in the long run.

Why do people who should know better continue to give credence to the myth that it's difficult to start a business?
A recent high-profile example of this came a few weeks ago on Sunday morning on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show and it was uttered by no less a figure than would-be Prime Minister David Cameron.
Detailing measures he would take to aid small firms (and so the economy) if the Tories win the General Election, he said: "It takes something like 13 to 14 days to start a new [sic] business in this country. In America, it's half as long. We have the ambition to make this [the UK] one of the fastest places in the world to start up a new business." Later, this was reported on the BBC News website and others, but remained totally unchallenged.
It must be the party line. A few days later, shadow business minister Martin Prisk MP, in his 'New year, new start, new business' Blue Blog on the Conservative Party website, further fuelled the myth, saying: "We would cut the time it takes to start a new [sic] business in the UK. Currently, it takes twice as long as in the USA, Denmark or Hong Kong. Conservatives want to change that, so we would reduce the number of forms needed to register a new company and move towards a 'one-click' registration model."
What type of business are they talking about? Have I missed something?
Setting up as a sole trader (AKA becoming 'self-employed') is likely to take 10 minutes tops. All you need do is call the HMRC Newly Self-employed Helpline on 0845 915 4515 to provide some key details (eg your name, DOB, NI number, address, telephone number, start date and type of business). You could even have been trading for up to three months previously (if you leave registration any later than three months, you'll be fined £100). Should you prefer, you can register online. Where's the problem?
And while forming a limited company ("incorporation") takes slightly more effort (you need to fill out an IN01 form and complete a Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association), it can be done within a day if you pay £50 for the Companies House same-day service. Otherwise you'll have to pay the standard registration fee of £20, which, granted, could take between eight and 10 days to process. Pay a professional to do it all for you and opt for the same-day service and your new company could become a legal entity in four hours or so.
So why spread the myth? Is it because our politicians are so out of touch with the reality of starting a business? Probably, yes. Few politicians of whatever persuasion have or will ever start or run their own small business. And that's part of the problem, but one for another day.
And while it's understandable that any party trying to gain power should seek to appeal to small firms and the wider electorate with the promise of a better new world, using untrue 'facts' (if you'll forgive the deliberate oxymoron) merely increases the risk of putting people off, at a time when the economy needs them to start a business. We should encourage people to go into business – not discourage them.
Truth is, registering a business isn't difficult and it doesn't take a long time, the myth needs to be challenged (same as the 'excessive red tape' red herring). The real difficulty lies in surviving that all-important first 12-18 months and then moving the business onto the next stage. Any small-business owner would tell you that, Dave.

California Woman Gets 7-Year Term for Fake Art Sales
A California woman was sentenced to seven years in prison for selling fake artwork, including purported lithographs by Marc Chagall and Pablo Picasso, through television auctions that brought in more than $20 million.
Kristine Eubanks, 52, was sentenced yesterday in federal court in Los Angeles, said U.S. Attorney Andre Birotte Jr. in a statement today. She pleaded guilty three years ago. Her husband, Gerard Sullivan, 54, also pleaded guilty and faces as long as six year in prison at his sentencing on May 24, according to the statement.
Eubanks and Sullivan operated Fine Art Treasures Gallery through which, from 2002 through 2006, they held art auctions on Friday and Saturday nights on DirecTV and Dish Network. They told buyers the works came from estate liquidations. Eubanks confessed that they printed some of the fake works themselves and bought others from suppliers, according to the statement.
David Denis, Eubanks's lawyer, didn't immediately return a call to his office.
The case is U.S. v. Eubanks, 07-00154, U.S. District Court, Central District of California (Los Angeles).

"It's our little secret" Lake Hawea by aserafica
Lake Hawea Travel Guide: 2 reviews and 7 photos
Not many people have heard of Lake Hawea even with some New Zealanders. Its about 20 kilometres from the town of Lake Wanaka. If you are looking for a really quiet place to get away from it all, this is it. No big hotels here, just a few family run motels and B & B's. Featured here is the view from the backyard of our friends house. The front view of the house is of snow capped mountains.
About 58 kilometres north west of Wanaka. On the way to Haas Pass. Near Macarora.
Even the pebbles are clean. Not any human garbage in sight. A truly spiritual experience, not to mention the breathtaking views.
- Pros:You can get away from it all. Total serenity.
- Cons:off the beaten track
- In a nutshell:For nature lovers, adventure warriors, skiers, extreme sports
Reviews (2)
Ok, you've done your skiing, white water rafting, tramping (as New Zealanders call bush walking) , the snow isn't too... more travel advice

Floral Kavita Napkins Set of 4
Reviewed by 1 customer
Comments about Floral Kavita Napkins Set of 4:
I love the colors on these napkins. I originally ordred them to use as napkins. The colors match perfectly with my dining room. I have been looking for art to put on a wall above my kitchen table and decided to frame the napkins instead. A great, inexpensive way to add color to my room!

I love love LOVE this lipstick. everything about it oozes luxury, it's the second rouge pur couture I've bought and they are definitely worth the money. The finish is sheer and sophisticated, it's the most comfortable to wear out of all the lipsticks I own and it lasts really well. The packaging is gorgeous, it smells great and goes on very easily. BUY IT!!
