There are many great parts of having your own home business, but there can be many disadvantages as well, especially when you are unaware of what you are doing. It's far too simple to go into it blindly and make costly mistakes that others have made repeatedly. Do your research so that you won't make those mistakes, too. Continue reading to learn great advice about making your new business a success.
Keep track of your mileage and gas receipts when you use your car for your business. These fall into travel expenses, which you can get back come tax season. However, make sure you can prove that the driving is necessary to the business' profit.
Keep the business phone line separate from the one you use for personal calls. Your message recording must be professional, and you want to ensure that no one else in your family takes your work calls.
Take the time to figure out your total costs to produce your product. Not knowing the exact figure can lead to you losing money. Wholesale mark-up could double the price. The retail mark-up of an item is traditionally twice the cost of wholesale. Sometimes following this rule is not ideal. Be sure that your price is something that benefits both your client and you.
Make it so that there is a clear wall of separation between work life and personal life. Set work hours and stick to them. Choose a "closing time" for your home business. Remember your family, friends, and especially yourself.
Start your home business while you are still employed. A business that just started takes time to generate profit, therefore it is best to have your current job. It is wise to stick to your job while waiting to build profits from your new business.
If you want a home business, yet don't know what kind of business you'd like, the Internet can give you plenty of ideas that are successful. Be aware, though, of the many scams dealing with home businesses online. There are a lot of sites that will sell you guides that have "valuable" information that you could find elsewhere for free, or that is so obvious that you are wasting money to buy it. Some scams are more convoluted and ask you to pay for access to high paying jobs, or tuition for classes online that are irrelevant. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
The tips and tricks within this article will ensure your home business grows as you wish it to, helping you avoid common mistakes. This will give the resources you need to help your business prosper.

A euronews correspondent in Egypt is in Port Said, a city that has been virtually locked down by the military after 21 death sentences sparked fatal violence there.
At least 32 people died in ferocious protests that broke out after the verdicts, that were connected to a football stadium disaster last year.
Our reporter Mohammed Shaikhibrahim said that the Egyptian army controls all roads in and out of Port Said, and it is tough to get into what has been declared a military zone.
Gun shots rang out through the night. Protesters were angry that people from their city were being blamed for the deadly stadium disaster in Port Said at a match last February against a visiting team from Cairo.
This latest violence kept medical services busy with a steady stream of wounded.
After avoiding sniper positions and crossing another military checkpoint our correspondent spoke to local residents who said they were shocked at the security forces' response to the street protests.
"There's no doubt," said one, "the shots were fired to kill people. The goal was to eliminate anyone they came across.
Another expressed anger with Cairo. "We don't want to be part of Egypt anymore," he said, "we want Port Said to be independent."
Some of the fiercest clashes took place outside the prison where most of the defendants were being held. One unconfirmed report said they had been transferred by the military after protesters threatened to break in and free them.

Beyond Money—Learning the basics of value exchange
We need to get beyond the confusions and obfuscations that surround the concept of money.
To do that we need to distinguish between what money is, i.e., its essence, and what money does, i.e., its functions. Conventional definitions of money, the ones that are universally taught in schools and universities, tell what money is supposed to do, not what it is.
The essence of money is credit. It is the issuer's i.o.u. or promise to reciprocate, i.e. to provide real value to the market and accept his currency back as payment for it.
With that in mind, we can begin to make sense of money and effectively address the problems that arise from conventional forms of money.
Conventional thinking lists money as having these functions:
- Medium of exchange—what we use to pay one another.
- Store of value—what we use to save our temporary surplus.
- Measure of value—what we use to quantify the market value of all the things that we buy and sell.
But, as I have argued for almost 30 years, these are separate and distinct functions that need to handled by distinct and different means. (For more about that see my book, Money and Debt: A Solution to the Global Crisis, Part III).
Let's focus on the exchange function, for this is the fundamental and proper role of money, and this is where attempts to solve our global financial and economic problems must begin. Anyone who has studied my work will know that I have thoroughly articulated these concepts in my books and my various presentations. But theory and practice develop together, each informing the other, and finding ways to improve the process requires that we look at both.
Over the past several decades, numerous innovations in the exchange function have emerged, including virtual commodities like Bitcoin, LETS systems, community currencies, and commercial trade ("barter") exchanges.
Of these, the greatest market success has been achieved by commercial trade exchanges which enable their member businesses to buy and sell without using conventional money. Rather, trading is enabled by using the members' own credit in a process called credit clearing which simply offsets debits from purchases against credits from sales. (For a more complete description of how this works, see my book, The End of Money and the Future of Civilization, especially Chapter 10).
Over the past 40 years, much has been learned from the operation of commercial trade exchanges, and while they have achieved some modest levels of success, they have barely scratched the surface of the potential market for credit clearing services. It remains for exchanges system designs and procedures to be optimized and standardized and for local exchanges to be networked together into a vast moneyless marketplace.
The trade exchange industry has two trade associations that have been instrumental in helping practitioners to share information and in promoting standards and best practices. These are the International Reciprocal Trade Association (IRTA) and the National Association of Trade Exchanges (NATE). But over the past year a new voice, Bartertown Radio, has emerged that seeks to disseminate the knowledge and wisdom of practitioners to a wider audience. Its mission is to provide an "Educational Program for Business Owners, Entrepreneurs, Barter Exchanges, Owners or New Owners of Barter Exchanges or anyone interested in Alternative Economies."
Broadcasts are archived and can be accessed on demand at the Bartertown Radio website. Particularly relevant is the April 18 broadcast featuring Richard Logie, a man with 20 years of experience as a trade exchange operator and software platform developer. During that interview, Richard shared his experience and knowledge about a wide range of topics including the factors he considers in allocating credit lines to exchange members, how tax issues are dealt with, and ongoing efforts to establish and enforce good standards of operation. That interview with Richard will be continued next Saturday, April 25 at 11 AM Eastern time (UTC-5). Be sure to tune in at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/educate4barter/2015/04/25/richard-logie-part-2 .
Other archived broadcasts that may be of particular interest are the April 5 interview with industry leader, Harold Rice of the American Exchange Network, and the interview with yours truly from December 13, 2014. Besides operating his own trade exchange company for almost 40 years, Harold Rice has provided consulting services for entrepreneurs and other exchange operators. He is a fount of knowledge about the details of exchange operation and has special expertise in accounting and tax issues.

Summer in Greece (and elsewhere in Europe)
The fates have conspired to draw me back to Greece this coming summer. I've recently had a lot of interesting correspondence with people in Europe who are working, in one way or another, on solutions to the intensifying global financial crisis. The eastern Mediterranean seems to be at the leading edge of the global debt tsunami so that's the place to be.
I have been invited to serve as a Scientist in Residence at the holistic Kalikalos Summer School on the mythical Pelion peninsula near Volos, Greece. I will be there during the periods 12 to 19 June and 10 to 17 July, and possibly some other times in between or after those dates. During the 12-19 June period, Kalikalos will also feature a course, The Big Picture: Toward a new way of relating to self, community and planet, led by Jennifer Hinton and Theoharis Tziovaras, and during the 10 to 17 July period, Jonathan Dawson of Schumacher College (UK) will be offering a course, Economics of Solidarity, in which I will assist. My residency there will provide lots of opportunities for idea sharing and collaboration.
The school's website describes it as follows: "The Kalikalos living learning centers in Pelion, Greece are dedicated to demonstrating the power of authentic community as a vehicle for building a new holistic world of peace, partnership and sustainability. Our three campuses offer an educational programme of workshops, retreats, workcamps, conferences and living-in-community guest weeks in the summer months that include healing (self, society & planet), creative arts, communication science, and Self-enquiry. For the latest information about the Centres, please subscribe to our bi-monthly newsletter at: www.kalikalos.com/eNews."
In addition to my stay at Kalikalos, I expect to be spending some time elsewhere in Greece during June and July. Besides Athens and Volos, Crete and Cyprus are also possibilities. At the moment, August is open, but I plan to remain in Europe until early September. My return flight is booked from London, so I will be spending at least a few days in England prior to my departure. As always, I am open to visiting, presenting, and conferring in places along my routes. Proposals can be sent to me at [email protected].
The Greek Debt Crisis, an Opportunity for Innovation
Since the January elections there, and in anticipation of my summer visit, I've been looking closely at Greece,—researching its history, politics, and economy. A lot of media attention has been given to the new government of the Syriza Party and its populist agenda. Especially prominent in the news has been their new Finance Minister, Yanis Varoufakis who has been wrangling with Angela Merkel and the rest of Greece's European creditors over restructuring the countries debt and relaxing the austerity conditions that were accepted by the previous administration.
Varoufakis has an impressive background and some unorthodox ideas about how to address the debt crisis that threatens to not only crush Greece, but to unravel the entire Eurozone. He is to be admired for his courage in standing up to the "troika" (the European Commission (EC), International Monetary Fund (IMF), and European Central Bank (ECB)), and for exposing the failures and pretense of the economics profession. Varoufakis' blog provides links to many of his interviews and presentations, and his book, The Global Minotaur: America, the True Origins of the Financial Crisis and the Future of the World Economy, published in 2011 and updated in 2013, is now gaining wide attention.
That is not to say that he gets everything right. He may have the right approach to dealing with the immediate crisis of national insolvency, but he seems to be lacking when it comes to understanding the more fundamental flaws of money that is created by banks on the basis of interest-bearing debt, nor does he seem to appreciate the vast potential of innovative exchange mechanisms like mutual credit clearing and private currencies issued by trusted domestic producers.
He has however posted one currency idea on his blog that might be of some help if some features were to be changed. I have posted my suggestions about that as a comment to his post. You can find both his proposal and my comment at http://yanisvaroufakis.eu/2014/02/15/bitcoin-a-flawed-currency-blueprint-with-a-potentially-useful-application-for-the-eurozone/#comment-148955.
Besides accessing many web sources, I discovered, quite by accident in a local bookshop, a new book that is proving to be invaluable in providing me with essential background and insights into how things operate in Greece in the post-WWII era. The book is, The Thirteenth Labour of Hercules: Inside the Greek Crisis, authored by journalist Yannis Palaiologos (Portobello Books, 2014). Reading it has shown me the many dimensions of Greek politics and the domestic and foreign basis of the present crisis. It seems that there is plenty of blame to go around.
California Events
I will spend the month of May going back and forth between California and the East Coast to visit family and friends. Then in early June prior to my departure for Europe, I will be occupied with events in California. On June 2, I will lead a discussion in Martinez (San Francisco Bay area). This event, sponsored the Mt. Diablo Peace Center and Friendly Favors, is titled, Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea: What Greece needs to do to extricate itself from its economic and financial predicament. We will discuss the various options that Greece and other debtor nations might employ, both in dealing with their immediate problem of insolvency, and in rebuilding their sovereign domestic economies. Please see Details and RSVP at the Events page of www.favors.org.
Then, from June 4 thru 7, I'll be participating in the conference, Seizing an Alternative: Toward an Ecological Civilization, to be held at Pomona College in southern California. This is shaping up to be a huge event with 12 sections and 80 tracks. I'll be playing a major role in Section 1, The Threatening Catastrophe: Responding Now, Track 6: Political Collapse (http://www.ctr4process.org/whitehead2015/section-1-track-6/). I will be providing input on how the geopolitical order is determined by elite control of money and banking, and outline some promising strategies for empowering people and communities by reclaiming the credit commons.
African Currency Projects Proliferating
We are finding great cause for optimism as we see successful programs in Africa being replicated and expanded. Will Ruddick and his team are continuing their excellent work, helping people to discover their own power by collaborating to establish exchange mechanisms based on the value of their own production. In a recent message Will reported that, in Kenya and South Africa, they are "in the process of implementing 8 community currency programs effecting [sic] well over 100,000 people." Building upon their success with the Bangla-Pesa currency in Mombasa and the Gatina-Pesa in Nairobi, they expect these community currency projects will unlock the potential for local producers to greatly expand their trading with each other and to pull themselves up out of poverty. Will says, "We will be launching a 2nd community currency in Nairobi's slums (Kangemi-Pesa) on April 4th… It will be a large event with marches through that area…These programs represent the foundation of what is rapidly becoming a global movement toward democratic and decentralized monetary systems. Creating resilient networks of markets across Africa is the path toward truly sustainable development"
Will also reports that they "have recently made the move to develop a non-profit foundation called Grassroots Economics to house these programs, and are looking for partners that really understand the seriousness of the monetary problem and the urgent need for community based solutions." A quick update on the currency projects can be found here.
Good Reading, Listening, and Viewing
Richard Werner is one of the few academic economists worth listening to. I recently read his
paper, How do banks create money, and why can other firms not do the same? An explanation for the coexistence of lending and deposit-taking. This is an excellent and clear explanation of the accounting sleight-of-hand that enables banks to create deposits (money) without the vast majority of people, even most bankers, realizing what is happening. Of course, many of us in the alternative exchange movement have long recognized that banks do this, but Richard's explanation of HOW they are able to do this must be compelling even to his academic colleagues. This paper is a very important contribution to the literature of monetary and banking reform and transcendence because it also outlines the positive implications of some small changes in banking laws and regulations that could be made if there were the political will to do them.
Of course, understanding how the flawed money system operates is only the beginning, and political approaches to reform seem very unlikely. That knowledge must be used as a departure point from which to design and implement innovative market oriented approaches to extra-bank exchange. Mutual credit-clearing circles and private currencies spent into circulation by trusted issuers, can be organized by businesses and communities to provide "home-grown" liquidity. To my knowledge, there are at present no major legal obstacles in most countries that would impede such innovative technologies from being widely deployed. The Swiss WIR and the existing commercial "barter" exchanges are imperfect models that provide proof of concept. In the US at least, commercial barter exchanges are officially regarded as "third party record keepers" which are not subject to banking and money transfer regulations.
You might also enjoy viewing the documentary video, Princes of the Yen, which is based on Richard's book by the same name (subtitled, Japan's Central Bankers and the Transformation of the Economy). It makes me wonder if there might be a place for directed investment and allocation of credit by central governments in temporarily addressing the worst effects of the European debt crisis (other than bank bailouts, that is).
Students of innovation will be interested in The Innovators: How A Group of Hackers, Geniuses, and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution by Walter Isaacson. The audio version, which I have just finished, held my attention throughout the entire 15 CD set.
Since listening to his Black Swan in audio format a few years ago, I've been a fan of Nassim Taleb, so I'm now in the process of listening to his book, Antifragile: Things That Gain From Disorder. This is another work that is both iconoclastic and filled with original ideas. Highly recommend.
Finally, if you really want to understand what's happening in the world, you need to follow Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration. Dr. Roberts is one of the few commentators today who see what is really going on and is willing to tell about it. His recent interview by Greg Hunter is especially timely. View it in my post at BeyondMoney.net.

Clearing away the fog–Paul Craig Roberts on geopolitics and the American economy
Here is another great interview of Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration. I think even the interviewer, Greg Hunter had some scales removed from his eyes. Dr. Roberts is one of the few commentators today who see what is really going on and is willing to tell about it.

The scam that is the global money system
It is a story that I have told in my own writings and presentations, particularly in my book, The End of Money and the Future of Civilization, but the video below is well worth viewing. I've not been a big fan of Glen Beck, and I abhor the Fox network, which I consider to be a propaganda instrument of the global elite, but this particular program is ironically quite good at telling the story of the creation of the Federal Reserve, the banking cartel, and the collusive arrangement between the bankers and the politicians (that pattern was actually established with the founding of the Bank of England in 1694). Beck's featured guest, G. Edward Griffin, the author of The Creature From Jekyll Island, is particularly astute in his observations. The conversation only goes astray toward the end when it turns to gold backing, a proposal that is based on a still naive conceptualization of what money is and how it works.
Interestingly, Beck was fired by the Fox network shortly after this program aired, presumably for exposing the scam of the elite cabal that Fox is there to serve.

continue mouseDragged even though mouse pointer reaches end of screen?
I'm trying to manipulate Java 2D transformations using Mouse Listeners, and I'm wondering if there is a better way.

 public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
 startPoint = e.getPoint();
 }

public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
 Point dragPoint = e.getPoint();
 int deltaX = startPoint.x - dragPoint.x;
 int deltaY = startPoint.y - dragPoint.y;

 // DO SOMETHING with deltaX and deltaY;

 startPoint = dragPoint;
 }

Now the biggest problem I have is that once the mouse pointer reaches the end of my screen, there's no delta, and the transformations can't be further manipulated.
But I know of applications where the mousedrag continues even though the mouse pointer reached the end of the screen.
How can I do this?
Thanks in advance,

We're right in the middle of all the holiday mayhem… shopping for gifts, parties and family get-togethers. Phew! It's all a whirlwind!
So I always look forward to reorganizing and regrouping at the beginning of every new year.
InStyle's January issue inspires readers to get more in 2011 with tips on making life easier, calmer, healthier and happier! Here are some ideas to help you get started.
1. TIE ONE ON Transform any look with a scarf. (Like Jennifer Aniston!) Long and skinny: Loop once around your neck and let the ends hang loose. Wide rectangle: Wrap multiple times and tuck in the ends. Rectangle: Throw over your shoulders and knot the ends- the weight of the knots will keep the scarf in place. Classic Square: Tie cowboy-style and let points hang.
2. CREATE THE SMOOTHEST MORNING ROUTINE EVER Don't agonize over what to wear anymore. Whenever you come home with a new item, try it out with various combos, then jot down the winners in a journal. Or, shoot a Smartphone photo of yourself in the outfits and store a visual portfolio on your computer. Then refer back to these greatest-hits files whenever you're feeling sartorially stumped.
3. TAKE THE NEXT STEP IN BASICS Building blocks don't always have to be boring old black and white. These easy-to-wear ideas offer a little something extra. Embrace prints: A geometric pattern flatters, (just look at Kim Kardashian!) especially in an easy silhouette like a loosely fitted dress with a defined waist. Go long: Try a cardigan that falls to the hip. You'll see the (flattering!) difference. Can't miss with color: A bold hue like purple is often as versatile as classic cream.
4. WEAR EVERYTHING WITH CONFIDENCE The trick? Having the right lingerie underneath. A seamless slip gives you a smooth, opaque layer so you can rock that sheer dress without getting weird looks. You need a bra that multitasks. Choose one with convertible straps- wear it halter or crisscross style. Find a camisole with flair for those times it peeks out of your blouse.
5. MAKE THE DRY CLEANER MISS YOU Get the most out of your apparel between cleanings: As soon as you get home, hang your clothes on the back of a chair or from a hook- not in the closet, where there is less oxygen. This allows clothes to air out. If you notice any fresh perspiration marks on a garment, blot with a dry paper towel to reduce the risk of discoloration. Then, let it breathe for an hour or two and inspect under a bright light to determine if you can store it away for next time. When you're ready to wear it again, freshen in the dryer on the cool setting and let it tumble for 10 to 15 minutes.
For more ideas, the January issue, which is InStyle's 200th issue, is on sale now. And you can check out InStyle's 16-year cover archive come to life, here!

Seed potatoes cannot be allowed to freeze, therefore, special shipping consideration is required during the Spring. While you certainly can place your order, we may hold off shipping your potatoes due to fluctuating freezing temperatures between California and your location.
With deep blue skin and flesh that almost appears purple, here is another potato to brighten your table and your favorite potato salad. A family favorite for making awesome French Fries or Oven Fries.
Harvested large crop. Tasty potato. Wish they'd have more. I was too late to order this year. Out of stock. More blues, please.Review by Jude (on 3/19/15)
These were really easy to grow. They became the family favorite out of the combo that we ordered. After our first tentative bites discovered that they taste the same as any other potato, they became the family favorite. The color just makes them fun to eat. We ate them mashed, boiled, and fried. Very versatile.Review by Esteri (on 10/29/11)
