One way to break the net metering stalemate (from an unexpected source)
By: SGN Staff
Quick Take: With all the heat and hyperbole surrounding the net metering controversy, it's nice to read an article that recommends cool heads and deliberate decision making. And it's from John Sterling of the Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA). Given that several other solar associations are attacking electric power utilities as the Source of All Evil, you might expect SEPA to be one-sided.
However, as we already saw with their report Ratemaking, Solar Value and Solar Net Energy Metering - A Primer, SEPA tries hard to be even-handed. They understand that solar power needs the electric power industry for its long-term success. I've put a quick summary below, or jump the SEPA blog for the full post.- By Jesse Berst
Across the country, net metering is being hotly debated by utilities and solar stakeholders. Resolution seems not only difficult but potentially nonexistent. Part of the issue is that all parties are hoping to see a solution that meets everyone's needs from day one.
Rather than searching for a one-size-fits-all solution, we should look to combine near-term needs with long-term sustainability. We need a defined transition plan to gradually and progressively align the interests of utilities and the solar industry.
Any changes will have a negative impact on the economic value proposition for solar adoption, so we must define a transition to moderate that impact. We need to introduce changes with careful deliberation.
Utilities may want to look at a staged approach. This will allow the market to adjust. This transition might include an incentive that gradually declines. Or, alternatively, a gradual ramp up of a standby charge.
Moving the conversation away from an immediate change towards a gradual transition will allow a sustainable solution to occur.

Parallel Twin F650 Dakar
Cycle world is saying the BMW F series bikes are to become the T series with an 80 horsepower twin. So they say look for a Dakar adventure bike with this engine to be coming out. Dayum! That would be awesome!:D
If it doesn't weigh _at least_ 50 pounds less than the current F650GS Dakar I wouldn't look twice at it. BMW needs to seriously lighten up that bike, and offer serious suspension like the KTMs.
Maybe they will put a parallel 650cc twin with a chain drive in a frame similar to the new HP2. Considering that the HP2 is 175 kg ( 385 lbs) and the F650 is 391 lbs dry, I would think that BMW should be able to do it pretty easily.
This is good news....sort of....
My biggest complaint about the HP2 is its sheer size and unnecessary bulk for the sort of adv-riding we all enjoy...a lighter, more aptly suspended version of the 650 would be excellent....why should the KTM boys have all the fun?
I saw the pic in hte magazine and fron the photo and the caption it was kinda clear that even if BMW does a Dakar to the bike it's more of a sport bike than a dual sport any way....
I think you'll find the KTM 950 is heavier than the HP so I doubt you can say the KTM crowd has any exclusive on fun. Curiously, some don't seem to mind greater mass. Consider that the many folks stroll right by the 1200GS and buy the 1150 Adventure GS.
We each have different ideas of what is the best compromise and what sort of adventures we're optimizing to have. My idea of an adventure bike may be a lowered KLR, but I'll not say to the girl with the 1150 Adventure that her bike is too heavy. If it works for her, it's the right bike for her.
If we'd be honest here, we can always point out many deficiencies with our bikes. That is, until someone with a competing brand badmouths us and then we get all defensive claiming our bikes are the ones lacking flaws of any sort. Here in the real world where we can always improve what we have, there isn't any bike that is ideal or perfect.
Until we're all the same size, the same strength, the same aptitude and skill in riding, and headed for the same adventure, there will be no idea bike.
well said
But the actual off the production line total weight, never turns out to be the same as the theoretical weight, as everything that is not custom hand finished for a factory race project, ends up weighing a bit more here and there.
At least that's what "they" said.

text: British-born Australian Caroline O'Connor has been causing such a sensation at the Edinburgh Fringe this month that her autumn passage to London seems almost guaranteed. At Edinburgh's Assembly Rooms, she's been performing an abridged version of her one-woman whirlwind, Bombshells, but the West End – most probably the Arts Theatre – will get the whole shebang. The show premiered in Melbourne in 2001 and was recently a sell-out in Sydney. Those who haven't seen O'Connor's work Down Under may know her from her screen cameo as "Nini Legs-in-the-Air" in Moulin Rouge, Chicago on Broadway or the West End production of Mack and Mabel for which she was Olivier-nominated.

I'm honestly having mixed feelings on this game. I think the graphics are stunning, and I applaud Kojima on how he's trying to create a 'living and breathing' incarnation of Snake. Kojima also stated he's tackling darker themes with this entry in the series, and that he's trying to 'recreate the Metal Gear series' but this could backfire. I mean, how many of us will miss the moments where you watch a guard on deck break down and pee off the edge, while you have to stick to the walls to avoid the pee (MGS2)?
Who's going to miss Naked Raiden? Heck, I'm not even sure Phantom Pain will break the 4th wall. So, you've heard my opinions. So, what's your opinion? Let's just discuss Phantom Pain and share our views, thoughts, predictions etc.

More Than 1,200 Customer Systems Deployed With Nimble Storage Scale-Out Architecture Flash Architecture Combined With Scale Out Boosts Capacity and Performance Simply, Seamlessly and Non-Disruptively SAN JOSE, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/29/14 -- Nimble Storage (NYSE: NMBL), a leading provider of flash-optimized hybrid storage solutions, today announced that more than 1,200 customer systems have been deployed with the company's scale-out storage architecture to obtain higher levels of performance and capacity, while dramatically simplifying storage management. Generally available to all customers, Nimble Storage's scale-out approach eliminates capacity silos and performance hotspots through automatic balancing of performance and capacity. Customers benefit from extending their storage investment and enhancing the flexibility and agility needed to support the growth of numerous business-critical applications without disruption. Organizations are able to manage the unpredictability of data growth and application performance through a scale out approach, however the majority of scale out storage solutions introduce management complexity and disruption. Nimble's scale out software eliminates this complexity by allowing customers to manage multiple nodes as a single entity. The company's clustering technology allows for application data to reside on more than one physical node, allowing enterprise workloads to take advantage of CPU, memory, flash and capacity resources across multiple storage arrays. In addition, Nimble's future-proofed Cache Accelerated Sequential Layout (CASL) file system decouples performance from spindle drives. This CPU bound approach allows customers to linearly scale their storage system performance. Download: Technology analyst firm ESG provides test results on the capabilities and benefits of Nimble Storage's scale-out architecture configuration in a lab environment. Since the scale-out architecture consolidates storage hardware into a single, manageable entity, Nimble Storage customers are maximizing flexibility and headroom for growth while enhancing storage operational efficiency, including: -- Intelligent routing of IO requests to the right destination node without introducing additional hops or dedicated high bandwidth connectivity. -- Investment protection is preserved as a single cluster can accommodate storage nodes of different performance and capacity levels for management purposes. -- Nimble's scale-to-fit approach gives customers the ability to grow only performance or only capacity through non-disruptive controller upgrades as well as upgrades of flash and disk capacity. -- Through the deep data analytics of Nimble Storage InfoSight, customers can get expert recommendations on the best approach to scaling cache, compute and capacity in accommodating overall application growth. Nimble Storage customers can benefit from scale out by simply upgrading their software. To support fluctuation in customer environments, storage nodes in a cluster can be added or removed easily as needed. Tortoise Capital Advisors Increases Capacity with No Disruption Kansas City-based Tortoise Capital Advisors, an energy investment management firm, depends on a virtualized environment with business-critical applications, which include multiple SQL databases and Microsoft SharePoint. The company deployed two Nimble arrays almost two years ago to support the growing performance and capacity demands across these business-critical applications, along with an aggressive data protection strategy. Most recently, the team leveraged Nimble's scale-out architecture to enhance storage capacity of its disaster recovery (DR) infrastructure as they brought a powerful new Nimble CS-Series array onboard to support its fast-growing production environment. In clustering the two original arrays at the company's DR site to expand capacity, they experienced no disruption in service or deterioration in performance, and even saw a significant drop in latency. For IT Director Gary Walborn, the flexibility in scaling offered by Nimble was key. "Scale out was one of the top considerations when we were evaluating storage solutions for our datacenter. It was nice to know that we didn't just have to start over with a forklift upgrade; we could repurpose our initial investment and extend the life of the entire platform, while boosting our DR site storage capacity." Supporting Quotes "Our customers have seen tremendous benefits from our unique and flexible scale-out offering because they don't need to sacrifice capacity over performance, or vice versa. It is an ideal solution because it allows them to meet demanding workloads without forcing them into a solution that is siloed. With Nimble Storage, they are given the choice of when and how to deploy capacity and performance without breaking the bank on expensive solutions that will expand their overall data footprint and cripple their organization." - Radhika Krishnan, vice president of product marketing & alliances, Nimble Storage "In the data centers of our customers, we prefer solutions that are compact, flexibly scalable, high performance, easy to use and reliable while operating. With the scale out approach from Nimble, we have scaled an individual volume on 4 systems with over 200,000 IOs. The Nimble Storage approach fulfills all of our requirements and helps us better service our end users." - Stephan Schneider, Head Infrastructure Solutions, UP-GREAT Nimble Storage Resources -- 3-Minute Video: Scale Out with Nimble Storage -- Nimble Storage Website -- Case Studies and Videos -- Follow Nimble Storage on Twitter: @NimbleStorage -- Join the Nimble Storage Group on LinkedIn -- Visit Nimble Storage on Facebook About Nimble Storage Nimble Storage believes enterprises should not have to compromise on performance, capacity, ease of use, or price. Nimble has developed a hybrid storage architecture engineered from the ground up to seamlessly integrate flash and high-capacity drives. Our customers enjoy fast application performance, enhanced backup and disaster recovery, and stress-free operations -- all while lowering their TCO.

The American Legion celebrated a milestone 90th anniversary on Wednesday. In recognition, the Senate and House of Representatives passed a resolution designating Sept. 16 as "American Legion Day". The measure was shepherded through the Senate by Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), and through the House by Rep. Deborah Halvorson (D-Ill.). In the Senate, the bill was cosponsored by Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine), Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) and Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.). It drew cosponsorship from 92 representatives.
Presenting the resolution to the Senate, Snowe praised the 90-year-old Legion – which was issued a federal charter by Congress on Sept. 16, 1919 – for its continued aid to wounded warriors and military families, legacy of community volunteerism and significant role in establishing important national legislation.
"As all of us in this chamber know, The American Legion remains today an active and vigorous advocate for servicemembers, veterans and their families here on Capitol Hill," Snowe said. "Among its greatest legislative achievements was the enactment of the... GI Bill of Rights. The initial draft of the GI Bill was written by Legionnaires at the Mayflower Hotel here in Washington, D.C. Many consider the GI Bill as one of the greatest pieces of legislation ever enacted."
A similar measure (House Resolution 679) was introduced to the House by Halvorson in late July. The bill passed Wednesday afternoon.
"On September 16, 1919 The American Legion was granted their federal charter by Congress, and 90 years later they have kept their commitment to serve not only as a resource and a voice on behalf of veterans across America, but also as an organization dedicated to the betterment of America through community service," Halvorson said. "Since their founding charter, The American Legion has not waved from the guiding principles and vision that can be found in their Four Pillars of Service."
National Commander Clarence Hill expressed his appreciation to Congress."We, as an organization, are honored and humbled that Congress is recognizing the dedication that members of The American Legion have demonstrated on behalf of their fellow veterans for nearly a century now," Hill said. Posts are urged to get a proclamation from their town or city mayor, designating locally Sept. 16 as American Legion Day. Legionnaires should look for photo opportunities with the mayor signing the bill. A sample proclamation can be found at the Legion's new Web site: Legion Town, USA [2]. There, posts can also submit success stories about their acts of community volunteerism and service to military men and women.

Male and female mice process pain differently, study finds
New research into the pain processing of mice has found male and female mice process pain differently, and the discovery may also apply to other species, including humans.

Men Adrift
For those at the top, James Brown's observation that it is a man's, man's, man's world still holds true. Some 95% of Fortune 500 CEOs are male, as are 98% of the self-made billionaires on the Forbes rich list and 93% of the world's heads of government. In popular films fewer than a third of the characters who speak are women, and more than three-quarters of the protagonists are men. Yet the fact that the highest rungs have male feet all over them is scant comfort for the men at the bottom.
I'm a woman who writes about rock and roll
"The record store, the guitar shop, and now social media: when it comes to popular music, these places become stages for the display of male prowess. Female expertise, when it appears, is repeatedly dismissed as fraudulent. Every woman who has ever ventured an opinion on popular music could give you some variation (or a hundred) on my school corridor run-in, and becoming a recognized 'expert' (a musician, a critic) will not save you from accusations of fakery." The World Needs Female Rock Critics, by Anwen Crawford for the New Yorker. Discussed in the piece is Jessica Hopper's new collection of essays, The First Collection of Criticism by a Living Female Rock Critic, which has been greeted with glowing praise. Here's an interview she did with Hazlitt: 'Am I Womansplaining To You?' And here she speaks to Meredith Graves of Perfect Pussy: "Being a fangirl is all the qualification you need.

Aboard Flights, Conflicts Over Seat Assignments and Religion
"The ultra-Orthodox have increasingly seen gender separation as a kind of litmus test of Orthodoxy." A growing number of airline passengers, particularly on trips between the United States and Israel, are now sharing stories of conflicts between ultra-Orthodox Jewish men trying to follow their faith and women just hoping to sit down. Several flights from New York to Israel over the last year have been delayed or disrupted over the issue, and with social media spreading outrage and debate, the disputes have spawned a protest initiative, an online petition and a spoof safety video from a Jewish magazine suggesting a full-body safety vest ("Yes, it's kosher!") to protect ultra-Orthodox men from women seated next to them on airplanes.
Women working with music technology
There's somehow a notion out there that women don't make their own electronic music. In a recent interview with Bjork in Pitchfork, she brought up an instance of sexism she's dealt with for decades: journalists hardly ever credit her with composing and producing her own music. Since she's not being photographed in the studio working at her computer, the men she collaborates with end up getting all the credit. She cites MIA and Missy Elliott as other examples of this phenomenon. The tumblr female:pressure attempts to counteract this. "Here we offer a visual catalogue of female producers, DJ's, media artists and electronic music Performers at work. These are not our press photos. This is a collective effort to demonstrate women and their use of technology in music and media production." It's also just a fantastic collection of electronic musicians, many of whom have been overlooked. Further discussion from Create Digital Music.

Fewer Women Run Big Companies Than Men Named John
Fewer large companies are run by women than by men named John, a sure indicator that the glass ceiling remains firmly in place in corporate America.

How Women of Color Are Driving Entrepreneurship in the US
Women of color are a principal force behind one of the most important components of America's current marketplace and our nation's future economy: entrepreneurship. Today, women of color are the majority owners of close to one-third of all women-owned firms in the nation. Increased access to business capital—including microenterprises, venture-capital-funded firms, and crowd funding—has helped the number of women entrepreneurs grow substantially. But women of color face significant obstacles in starting their own businesses, leading to the question of why so many of them turn to entrepreneurship. The growth of women of color as business owners is part of a long-term trend, but the question of why this trend is occurring is often left unanswered. Looking at the alternative to entrepreneurship—the traditional workplace—sheds light on some of the reasons.

"You don't understand, women are holier than men."
"I'm not sure whether it mattered. One young man very kindly said to me, 'You don't understand, women are holier than men.' I said, 'That's rubbish and it doesn't excuse the insult,' and then I added that I spent 13 years in yeshiva and there's nothing he could tell me that I haven't already heard. Then the original man, the one who refused to sit next to me, muttered to another man as he was walking away, 'She doesn't understand.' I said, 'I understand everything, and don't talk to me as if I'm not here.' He ignored me, and all the other men turned their backs and did not respond or even look at me."

"Hollywood's pathological fear of being political has made them blind to the changes that women's friendships have undergone over the last forty years.

girls and technology!
WYNC's Manoush Zomorodi investigates the gender gap in tech and computer science, and finds a number of people working towards bridging that gap, from childhood to university: completely restructuring a required computer science course to make it more welcoming to female university students, celebrating women in computing history (and recognizing that computer science wasn't so male-dominated, and making children's books and toys (even dollhouses!) for kids to explore programming concepts on their own. She also noticed that the majority of female computer science students in the US had grown up overseas - possibly because computer science isn't a common subject in American high schools. This is slated to change: a new AP Computer Science subject is in the works, with efforts to get 10,000 highly-trained computer science teachers in 10,000 high schools across the US.

On balancing career and family as a woman of color
Michel Martin, in her last week as host of NPR's "Tell Me More," responds to conversations about work/life balance such as Anne-Marie Slaughter's much-commented 2012 "Why Women Still Can't Have It All", (previously) where "the discussion too often ends where it began: with privileged, mostly white women at the forefront."

"I don't need a purse to buy comics online"
Attack of the purse snatchers: gender and bag policies in U.S. comic book stores
What could a clerk at a comic book store possibly say to a new female customer to make her feel as alien and unwelcome as possible? Would it be some sort of overtly sexist slur, or an inappropriate comment about her appearance? Or could it perhaps be something as presumably innocuous as: "I'm going to need to take your bag before you go any further."
Women, Pants, and the Backlash
Margaret Perry's review of Women in Pants provides an interesting overview of those women (in the Western world) who chose to wore pants in the 19th and early 20th centuries when the standard gender norm dictated dresses for girls and women. R.S. Fleming has a great collection of Victorian women-in-pants images, particularly in non-American military garb. See also: Welsh pit miners, women fighting in the US Civil War (and support-staff), this cattle thief/gunfighter, some cowgirls, and Dr. Mary Walker - here she is in more traditionally masculine dress (second picture). In France, the artist Rosa Bonheur had to get permission from the police to wear pants (picture) while sketching in public (her license), while adventurer/archaeologist Jane Dieulafoy got a lifetime exemption to wear pants from France.

Making a life on the margins of society
After Koovagam, India's Largest Transgender Festival: "Some of the transgender women you see on the street were training to be lawyers or engineers," says Rangeela, who is one of a handful in her circle who did not drop out of school. "I hope in that in 10 years those people can go on with their careers and not be stuck into a life of prostitution." [more inside]
" . . . but women hold the power of story."
Women make up roughly half of the 42 million Pashtun people in the borderland. The kind of hardship they know is rare. Some are bought and sold, others killed for perceived slights against family honor. But this doesn't render them passive. Most of the Pashtun women I know possess a rebellious and caustic humor beneath their cerulean burkas, which have become symbols of submission. This finds expression in an ancient form of folk poetry called landay. Two lines and 22 syllables long, they can be rather startling to the uninitiated. War, drones, sex, a husband's manhood—these poems are short and dangerous, like the poisonous snake for which they're named.
Dads who do dishes have more ambitious daughters
A new study suggests that dads who equally divide household chores with their wives tend to have daughters whose career aspirations are less gender-stereotypical. The study results suggest that even when fathers publicly endorse gender equality, when there is a traditional division of labor at home daughters are more likely to see themselves in traditionally female-dominant jobs.
Having the same tired discussions about gender bias, over and over.
The first Women in Science Writing: Solutions Summit took place at MIT on June 13-15. Here's a brief roundup, with plenty of links and stats that look at gender bias and harassment in science journalism.
"Do you think I want people to know I greenlit 'Transendence'?"
Who really controls Hollywood? Now it can be told! (SLFOD)
stop street harassment!
A study (pdf) released by the nonprofit Stop Street Harassment shows that 65% of American women have experienced some form of street harassment – 41% of women were subject to physically aggressive harassment in public like being flashed or fondled. Men also report being harassed (and men who identified as LGBT were much more likely to be harassed than heterosexual men). No matter who was being harassed, men were most likely to be the harassers.
17 Lies We Need to Stop Teaching Girls About Sex
Whether it's the constant fretting over Miley Cyrus' influence on school girls or the growing (and troubling) tradition of Purity Balls, it's clear that society has a fascination with young women's sexuality — especially when it comes to controlling it. But what are we actually teaching today's girls about sex? Fueled by outdated ideals of gender roles and the sense that female sexuality is somehow shameful, there seem to be certain pernicious myths about girls and sex that just won't die. That sex education in America has gaping holes in its curriculum hasn't helped much, either; in a recent Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report just 6 out of 10 girls said that their schools' sex ed program included information on how to say no to sex. This lack of personal agency was reflected in a forthcoming study by sociologist Heather Hlavka at Marquette University as well, which found that many young girls think of sex simply as something that is "done to them." Knowledge is power, and we can promote a healthier relationship with sex by encouraging a more open dialogue, teaching girls to feel comfortable with their sexuality and, most importantly, emphasizing that their bodies are theirs and theirs alone.
But first, we're going to need to stop perpetuating the following 17 myths about female sexuality.[more inside]
Female Pain
Grand Unified Theory of Female Pain. "The pain of women turns them into kittens and rabbits and sunsets and sordid red satin goddesses, pales them and bloodies them and starves them, delivers them to death camps and sends locks of their hair to the stars. Men put them on trains and under them. Violence turns them celestial. Age turns them old. We can't look away. We can't stop imagining new ways for them to hurt." [more inside]

O Woman's Day
Talking gender to Africa
International donors have sought to improve the social, political and economic position of women in Africa through an approach known as "gender". This donor-driven strategy is failing. The jargon of gender programmes is ambiguous and easily misunderstood. It fosters inaction and lip service on the part of patriarchal African governments and civil servants. Gender has become the preserve of the educated elite. The voices of African women have been lost.[more inside]

The series consists of ~822 documentaries produced by the United States Army Signal Corps Army Pictorial Service from 1951 to 1971 to educate both soldiers in uniform and the American public about military concerns as well as things like historical battles, world geography, famous soldiers, the latest weapons, space exploration, strategic objectives, peaceful initiatives, and the life of a soldier. Being a product of the Federal Government it belongs to the the American people, and is thus freely available to all to copy and distribute. Most can now be viewed on archive.org[more inside]

Katie Gorz will graduate from enlisted infantry training today, having passed the two month course at the School of Infantry-East at Camp Geiger, a satellite of Lejeune. However, they still won't be allowed to serve in an infantry unit, until the Marine Corps finishes its study of women in combat, in two more years' time. [more inside]
The 'Gods of Food' Club (No Goddesses Allowed!)
Last week, Time magazine put out a feature on the Gods of Food, a series of articles on 60-some-odd empire-building chefs who the magazine thinks are influencing and leading cuisine today. Beyond the statistical problems with the article ... some folks had the temerity to point out that this culinary Mount Olympus was basically a bunch of white dudes. Actually it was all dudes, not a single woman deified. Eater's interview with Time's food editor Howard Chua-Eoan about the story. Amanda Cohen's scathing takedown of the clusterfuck. The New York Times' Room for Debate feature asking leading female chefs about underrepresented women in food media. Eater's latest piece on the question of gender bias in food journalism. [via]
"Are you an urban scientist or an urban whore?"
When DNLee was approached to write blog posts for Biology Online, she quite reasonably asked about the terms of the agreement. When she turned them down, their response was...somewhat less than reasonable. And when DNLee posted to her blog about it, Scientific American – who hosts her blog as part of their science blog network – responded in perhaps the most tone-deaf manner possible. [more inside]
Why Are There Still So Few Women in Science?
Last summer, researchers at Yale published a study proving that physicists, chemists and biologists are likely to view a young male scientist more favorably than a woman with the same qualifications. Presented with identical summaries of the accomplishments of two imaginary applicants, professors at six major research institutions were significantly more willing to offer the man a job. If they did hire the woman, they set her salary, on average, nearly $4,000 lower than the man's. Surprisingly, female scientists were as biased as their male counterparts. A wonderful long article by Eileen Pollack where she talks to her former mentors, the study authors, and the other female science professors at her alma mater. NYTMagazine, worth reading especially for the absence of glib simple answers. (Previously, of course.)

Product Reviews
Matthew Cochrane5 Stars Out Of 5September 22, 2006Matthew CochraneThis review was written for Lord of All: Developing a Christian World-and-Life View.The book is well written and, even better, well organized. The text is divided into six different sections of four chapters, each detailing a different sphere in our lives that Christ needs to reign over. As the back cover states, In Lord of All, D. James Kennedy and Jerry Newcombe define this Christian world-and-life view by considering the six main spheres of influence that Christians should be working to strengthen, from the global and national levels down to the church and family. The six spheres the book refers to are the world, humanity, nation, education, church and family. In each section the authors compare the commonly held humanist, or secular, view to the Biblical perspective. It carefully details the consequences of each conviction and the reasoning that led to the worlds beliefs. The authors are careful to back up their arguments using experts from the respective fields and Scripture. Whats more, they also successfully explain how each of these spheres are intricately connected and how it is impossible to be a well-rounded Christian without letting the Lord reign in each of these areas. Hence, this book not only provides the reader with the information needed to engage in our countrys fiercely contested cultural wars (i.e. abortion, homosexuality, etc.), it also informs the reader why it is so vitally essential to our Christian walk that we do so. This is a message that the church needs to hear more. Unfortunately, there is a growing movement within the church that believes Christians should ignore society and just stick to their own affairs. This book more than adequately explains why Christians are commanded to do otherwise. I loved this book. It was deeply insightful and practical. I only hope that more Christians read this to become informed on the topics facing our culture today.

Almost none of the jobs in which you are selling something is without start-up cost, but sometimes you can cut a deal with a sponsor to have your first party pay for your kit.
"Releasing doves and a sushi station are not basic human rights." -- MollySaysWhat
And there are companies where you can earn the cost of your kit back by doing so much in sales!
Go for passion on a company, as to make good money, you want to give it time and not get bored or frustrated. I feel bad for one friend who keeps hopping from the "hot" thing to the next when she burns out or finds out the goals of the company don't allign with hers.
Most you can start for under $100. But keep in mind, the FREE companies, give you nothing to start with. You'll still need a website, biz cards, product samples, catalogs... so look at what you get. Most of the starter kits are really good deals.
Good luck!

I know some you earn it back with if you do your sales or sign ups, etc. It is all about researching and finding something you can really get behind and are passionate about, and something that long term and get you to where you want to be financially.
Just about any direct sales company is going to have a start up cost because they are sending you products to get your start. I too was looking for something with no start up cost but realized that I wasn't motivated to work the business because I wasn't passionat about it. You have to love and believe in the company to really see a differance in your finances. I am glad I made the choice I did. You have to find what you love.
I definitely agree with the others, though, on chosing based on product/company and your passion for them. You need that passion to aid you in your business. Also, people say that if you are more financially invested, you will work much harder at your business.d
