Don't Worry - Winter Is Coming

There's been quite a bit of press recently about whether there's a tech bubble or not. Certainly, things are overheated in the valley. Traffic is out of control, competition for talent is fierce and there are definitely some companies with billion dollar valuations that seem, well, a little suspect. If HBO's series "Silicon Valley" is meant to be a satire of the worst in tech, it's remarkably close to the truth in some areas. I think the show is funny, but almost every farcical element in that show seems way too close for comfort.

One of the things newcomers to the industry forget is that, like most sectors, tech is a cyclical industry. There are boom times when stocks seem to just go up and there's unlimited demand for IPOs and then, well there's the opposite. That's what happened in the early 1980s, more severely in 2001 and again in 2008. There have been a couple minor corrections to sky-high SaaS valuations in 2014 and 2015, but nothing like we saw in earlier downturns.

The companies I work with all seem to be in good shape. They've got plenty of dry powder, having raised money in the last 12 months and generally are increasing their efficiency in terms of customer acquisition costs, cash position, etc. But for companies that have less than 12 months of runway, there could be problems. Like, a going-out-of-business problems. As is occasionally reported by new CEOs who run out of money, there's this tricky thing called "burn rate."  Which basically means, you should make more money than you spend. Really, it's not that complicated.

When you build a company, you can't just optimize for growth at all costs. Otherwise, those costs can easily exceed what you're bringing in. And when the piper changes his tune and VCs and Wall Street decide to no longer value money losing companies quite as optimistically as those that are generating cash, it can lead to some pretty ugly situations. Just take a look at the downfall of GetSatisfaction, Fab, Zirtual or even Good Technology, which managed an exit, but at less than half it's billion dollar valuation.

GoodTechnology was around for almost 20 years and raised $290 million (!) over six rounds. The company talked about doing an IPO back in 2013. They filed for an IPO in 2014 and then amended it in 2015. Sadly, their growth started to decline while losses continued to mount. They lost $95m on revenues of $158m in revenue in 2014 leaving them just 7 months of runway in 2015.

Presumably Good couldn't raise more money and couldn't do an IPO in the current market. So they got acquired by Blackberry, a struggling company if there ever was one. While some of the investors and execs will have made money, I doubt the rank-and-file employees got much out of it.

It was probably lucky for Good that they didn't complete their IPO. While strong SaaS performers like Hubspot, Zendesk, New Relic have done well with steady growth in their revenues and share price, there's an increasing number of tech companies trading well below their IPO price including Alibaba, Apigee, Box, Castlight Health, Etsy, Twitter and others.

Bill Gurley from Benchmark Capital has been a particularly strong voice reminding startups that "Winter is coming"; valuations are being compressed and CEOs need to make sure they have a path to profitability.  Words to live (or die) by.

Norman Nie, co-founder and early CEO of SPSS, died a few days ago. I had the pleasure of working with Norman for several years when I was on the board of Revolution Analytics where he was CEO for several years. Norman was as smart and tenacious a software executive as I'd ever met. Well into his 60s, Norman was gearing up for another bite at the apple. He was a huge believer in the power of Open Source R as a way to build the next generation of statistical software and predictive analytics.

While not a programmer, Norman's impact on the software industry was giant. He created SPSS in 1968 along with Tex Hull and Dale Bent at Stanford University. When Nie moved to University of Chicago, Hull joined him and they continued development for several years, giving the software away free to universities and businesses and publishing a textbook manual. When profits started rolling in, SPSS was incorporated in 1975 with Nie as CEO.

SPSS is one of the oldest mainstream commercial software packages that is still available today. The original version of SPSS was written in Fortran and ran on mainframe computers. It was ported later to more than 60 operating systems including minicomputer platforms, DOS in 1982, with Mac and Windows versions following in the early '90s. SPSS was the "swiss army knife" of statistics and introduced predictive analytics to a generation of students and computing professionals.

SPSS was eventually acquired by IBM for $1.2 billion in 2007. In a strange turn of events, Norman sued the company to assert his rights in the ownership of the SPSS name and trademark.

Just last week, with the final board meeting to approve the acquisition of Revolution Analytics by Microsoft, Norman Nie passed away after a long battle with cancer. I'm told he approved the acquisition from his bedside in his last remaining days. Norman was that kind of a guy.

He was a helluva fighter, a smart, passionate son of a gun. Not always easy to work with, but he went out with his boots on and fighting until the very end. He made a mark on the industry that will continue to inspire others for decades on.

Norman, we'll miss you.

Each post has a short write up and often a 2-3 minute video covering a topic such as giving feedback, Peter Drucker's principles of good management, what it takes to build an effective team, hiring for strength etc. Some of these topics are very practical, like how to send good email, others are more thought-provoking, such as the notion that bad news is good news --one of my personal favorites.

Some of these ideas come from legendary management guru Peter Drucker, but they are all shaped with Marten's unique and practical experience.

Dealing with churn, is one of the most important elements of building a subscription business.  While some churn is inevitable over time, too much churn indicates a more fundamental problem: customers aren't finding value in your product.

I wrote an article over at GigaOm on this subject including some examples about how to reduce churn from my experience at MySQL and Zendesk.

Having churn is like rowing a leaky boat. After a while, you spend more time bailing water than moving forward. By contrast, organizations that focus on reducing churn will find that their revenue grows every quarter.

To accurately measure what's going on, you should begin by breaking out churn (customer cancellation) from contraction (a downgrade in spending). Measure downgrade and churn separately from upgrades and expansion; otherwise, your net growth numbers will mask problems that are bubbling below the surface. If your SaaS product has different editions (e.g. Basic, Pro, Enterprise) you should watch for downgrades that suggest customers are not seeing the value in the higher-end features.

It's also worth paying attention to churn and contraction by customer segment. In most SaaS businesses, churn is highest in low-end customers — some of whom will inevitably be acquired or go out of business. Over time, if you move upmarket to larger SMB or Enterprise customers, low-end churn becomes less significant. Customers who spend a lot of money usually have greater commitment and resources for working through any speed bumps during implementation. They're also far less likely to switch to another vendor with newer features.

Hopefully this article will spark some other ideas and discussions in your company.  You can read the full piece at GigaOm.

The wild and crazy guys over at S&T Geotronics, James Sanderson and Marc Tessier, have decided to go full tilt with a Kickstarter version of their DIY Open Enigma Project.  For those who missed the fanfare last year, they were featured on Instructables showing how to build an Arduino-based encryption machine that works exactly like a WWII era Enigma.  You know, the thing that Alan friggin' Turing and his team at Bletchley Park cracked to  bring an end to WWII?  Yeah, that Enigma.

The Enigma was also featured in the aptly-titled novel "Enigma" by Robert Harris and the film starring Kate Winslet and some people I've never heard of.  That film was produced by Mick "code-breaker" Jagger.  Yeah, that Mick Jagger... By the way, Jagger owns his own personal friggin' Enigma machine.  How cool is that?

The Enigma Machine (and it's cracking) remains one of the most significant breakthroughs in computing.  And Turing is considered one of the fathers of modern computing as well as a brilliant mathematician, logician, code-breaker and... wait for it.... world class marathon runner. (I kid you not, the guy ran a 2:46 marathon, coming in 5th in an Olympic qualifying round.  Take that Nazi scum!)

But unless you happen to have a spare $208,137 lying around to throw at a Christie's auction, the closest you're ever gonna get to an Enigma machine is to view Mick Jagger's Enigma sealed behind glass at Bletchley Park.  I've been there, it's fantastic.  But it's also heavily guarded.  Just sayin'.

Now with the Open Enigma Project, you can get a working, life-size replica of the Enigma and be a part of computing history.  You can sponsor the Kickstarter project for as little as $5 (cheapskate), or if you're a DIY hardware hacker, for $250 you get a bag of electronic stuff you can assemble.

Or if you're a software person who wouldn't know which way to plug in a soldering iron, then you can get a fully assembled kit (without a case) for $300.  And if you want the whole enchilada including the genuine wooden case, it's $600.  Executives, VCs, rock stars and others can splurge for even higher levels to help make this project a reality.

This is literally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get a working Enigma replica.  And that is some cool cyber-encrypting steampunk goodness!  You can plug the Open Enigma into your PC via USB port and run some kind of crazy distributed big data bitcoin-mining NoSQL social media photo sharing site on it.

All the hardware and software is open source so you can compute all you want on your desk, put it behind glass or run a marathon with it.  Just like Alan Turing would have done.

There is a good article over at Re-Code by ex-Microsoft VP Steven Sinofsky called "The Four Stages of Disruption".  It describes the evolution of products and markets through disruption, drawing from Sinofsky's own insights and also building on the work of Everett Rogers ("The Diffusion of Innovations") and Clayton Christensen ("The Innovator's Dilemma.")  There are few software industry execs with as much experience in shipping billion dollar software products as Sinofsky.  And he understands how brutal it can be to manage large teams.  In my view, Sinofsky is always worth reading, though he can be a bit, ah, verbose at times.

There are dozens of examples of disruptive technologies and products. And the reactions (or inactions) of incumbents are legendary. One example that illustrates this point would be the introduction of the "PC as a server." This has all of the hallmarks of disruption. The first customers to begin to use PCs as servers — for application workloads such as file sharing, or early client/server development — ran into incredible challenges relative to the mini/mainframe computing model. While new PCs were far more flexible and less expensive, they lacked the reliability, horsepower and tooling to supplant existing models. Those in the mini/mainframe world could remain comfortable observing the lack of those traits, almost dismissing PC servers as not "real servers," while they continued on their path further distancing themselves from the capabilities of PC servers, refining their products and businesses for a growing base of customers. PCs as servers were simply toys.

At the same time, PC servers began to evolve and demonstrate richer models for application development (rich client front-ends), lower cost and scalable databases, and better economics for new application development. With the rapidly increasing demand for computing solutions to business problems, this wave of PC servers fit the bill. Soon the number of new applications written in this new way began to dwarf development on "real servers," and the once-important servers became legacy relative to PC-based servers for those making the bet or shift. PC servers would soon begin to transition from disruption to broad adoption, but first the value proposition needed to be completed.

Sinofsky makes a number of good observations on how markets and products evolve through disruption.  But there is a certain irony to reading about disruption by a Microsoft exec.  Is Microsoft a disruptor or a disruptee?  I'd say Microsoft has been on both sides of the disruption equation.

In the early days, Microsoft was a pioneering company that created vast new markets where none existed.  If Microsoft products were not initially the best in their categories, their persistence and steady release cycles gave them the features they needed to beat competitors in just about every category in which they competed, whether operating systems, applications, or networking software.  There were some notable exceptions, such as Microsoft's failure to beat Quicken in personal finance software.  But in general, Microsoft was the 800 pound gorilla in the market and few were brave or foolish enough to tackle them head on.

The most clear example of Microsoft being a disruptor was it's entry into "back office" markets for server software as Sinofsky described.  The "Wintel" combination of Windows server software and Intel X86 architecture had a profound effect on redefining the server market.  It enabled large corporate Enterprise customers to move server workloads off expensive proprietary Unix systems for a fraction of the price.  You could argue that SQL Server was not as good as Oracle or that NT was not as good as Unix, but for many users it was "good enough."  And Microsoft was smart enough to add Enterprise DNA to the company to help them build this new class of software.  I'm sure in some cases the incumbents saw what Microsoft was doing, but dismissed it's solution as mere "toys."  And by the criteria of the incumbents that was exactly so.

But where did all that disruption mojo go in recent years?  The emergence of smartphones and cloud-based software left Microsoft flat-footed.  New versions of Windows have been acknowledged failures.  It's rebooted it's mobile and cloud offerings several times.  And in the last couple of years there's been a steady stream of departures from the executive suite including Sinofsky, Bob Muglia, Hank Vigil, Craig Mundie, Ray Ozzie, Robbie Bach, J Allard, and soon Steve Ballmer.

In the mean time, Apple, Google, Amazon, Salesforce, Box and others have been the innovators coming up with new cloud-based offerings and products that have disrupted incumbents including Microsoft, HP, Dell and others.

So what do you make of Sinofsky's article?  How is it disruptors get disrupted?  Let me know in the comments.

I did pretty well over the weekend managing my cravings. TOM hit so I'm naturally up in weight today. I'm going to lay off the scale for a few days.
Not much to report. Just super tired from weekend cleaning and running around.
Meals for today:
B: 2 eggs scrambled, a little cheese
L: homemade chicken and vegetable soup, few cherry tomatoes, 2 tablespoons almond butter (supposed to go on celery, but I ate the almond butter by the spoon, never ate the celery)
D: not sure yet. I didn't take anything out of the freezer, and did not meal prep this weekend as planned. Tilapia is easy to thaw, so it may be that with green beans.
I have a work conference call tonight, so I won't make it to the gym. I plan a light yoga DVD followed by some arm exercises with hand held weights.Progress as of today: 46 lbs lost so far, only 41.8 lbs to go!
Last night I got in my house painting and jazzercise - win/win! The painting was really just touch up and it went faster that I expected, so I was able to rush off to jazzercise. The air conditioning was not working, and we are at the start of a little heat wave, so I could definitely notice the difference in my endurance. I made it through and stayed for the extra strength training session.
I am slowly getting my house in order for my family's visit in 2 weeks. I moved the treadmill into the closet last week, after going through clothes,etc., and yesterday I took the spare mattresses out of the garage and set up the guest bedroom. Ok...so I typically think I can do anything and everything myself, but the minute I started hauling mattresses up stairs just to get into the house, I doubted my ability to move these heavy and awkward things. A guy who was walking his dog and pushing a baby in a stroller walked by and helped me at least get them in the house. I was SO thankful for this kind stranger. Then I had to get them up another flight of stairs by myself. I wish I had pictures - it was pretty funny how I got stuck at one point between the box spring and the wall trying to go around a bend in the stairwell. I abandoned it perched precariously on the stairs after I wiggled myself out. I went to jazzercise. When I got back, I tackled it again, and finished the job. I don't know how I did it, it took a lot of strength to get those things up the stairs and placed in the bed frame. I was channeling Umpqua, who I see as superwoman with all of her home improvement projects that I would never attempt!
The scale rewarded me today with a loss of 2 of the 4 pounds I gained recently. I'm always in such a hurry to lose weight, and what I really need to do is exercise patience. That is something that is so hard for me to do.
Meals for today:
B: the last of the egg/spinach muffins
L: Tuna with mayo and pickles, cherry tomatoes
D: low carb tortilla with taco meat, lettuce, tomato, cheese
snacks: string cheese, mix of almonds/pumpkin seeds/dried cranberriesProgress as of today: 46 lbs lost so far, only 41.8 lbs to go!
Cheers and good job!
My back has really been killing me since the weekend, so the trainer last night went a little earier on me in that we skipped some of the core stuff she had. Worked my arms though, she sure knows how to kill me!
Today I have an unexpected lunch out with a friend at a mexican restaurant. I swore none of the chips would reach my lips....I have to confess, they did. Oh well! I ordered a salad, and did better there.
Tonight I'm debating on going to jazzercise, or painting my outside railing. Both need to happen, but not sure which will win out. I much prefer the exercise to house painting!
Meals for today:
B: 1 egg scrambled, bacon
L: chips, salad with chicken, avocado, tomato, onion, ranch dressing
D: I have to keep it light. Probably a protein shake or if I cook it will be tilapia.Progress as of today: 46 lbs lost so far, only 41.8 lbs to go!
I'm not posting my weight even though I'm up another pound. I slipped up again last night, and even after doing so well during the day. While I blame no one but myself, I do blame PMS - it's tough to fight those cravings. I need to find an herbal remedy to help fight this - does anyone have suggestions?
Today I am working from home, so it's much easier to control my meals while home. I am meeting with the trainer tonight for 30 minutes, and I'll stay after to get in some cardio on the treadmill or bike.
Meals for today:
B: 2 egg and spinach muffins
L: curried turkey salad - turkey, celery, few raisins, mayo, curry powder
D: meatloaf and veggiesProgress as of today: 46 lbs lost so far, only 41.8 lbs to go!
I'm up three pounds. I know why. Even though I exercised like crazy this weekend, no amount of exercise can compensate for poor diet and food choices.
Saturday morning I was up 1 pound from the chicken veggie stir fry I made the night before - sodium in the soy sauce/teriyaki sauce I used. No big deal, I can handle that. But the rest of Saturday I had a fast food burger and fries, and in the evening I had pizza. What was I thinking? I was so tired and craving those foods, that I just said to myself - forget it - I'm eating! By Sunday morning I felt terrible and the scale was up another 2 pounds for a total of 3. This morning the scale is holding on to those 3 pounds.
I need to not look back and move forward. I've got my meals planned for today, yoga tonight, and I'm still in a smaller size pants and a blouse I last wore 3 years ago. It's all good!
I always love to see what others are eating - it helps me get ideas and to know what's working for them. So I thought I'd share my meals with you.
B: 2 egg and spinach muffins (I love taking these to work - so easy to make and hits the spot in the morning), sugar free hot chocolate
L: chefs salad with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, turkey, cheese, olives, sunflower seeds
D: meatloaf, mixed vegetables
Snacks: string cheese, Quest protein bar if needed (recently discovered these - they are low carb and taste pretty good)Progress as of today: 46 lbs lost so far, only 41.8 lbs to go!
I have been doing so well, and then this week my energy levels just haven't been there basically since last Saturday. I spent Saturday and Sunday doing what I absolutely needed to do and took some long naps. I've missed a few jazzercise classes, but made it to my training session on Tuesday. Right before my appointment with the trainer, a kick boxing class was starting and so I did 30 minutes of that. Wow, it kicked my butt. I loved it, but it was pretty intense for my fitness level. I've enjoyed trying new things, so I'll do it again.
Yesterday was the first since recommitting to diet and exercise that I had a "binge". I was making dinner to take to some people from church - pasta, bread, chocolate chip cookies - all things I currently don't have at home or eat - and I wouldn't say I went crazy, but I did "sample" it all several times! With every bite I was thinking what it was doing to the scale, yet I made the conscious decision to eat it. It all tasted so good, and I realized how much I miss some of those things. Yet I know I can't go back to that way of eating. This morning the scale said the same thing as yesterday, and I'm not sure if a gain will show tomorrow, but I'm telling myself that it's ok. One meal will not undo the rest of my journey.
I spent some time yesterday going through closets and cleaning/organizing them in preparation for my company at the end of this month. I had to move the treadmill out of the guest bedroom and into a closet, so I could turn the room back into a guest bedroom. I took the opportuntiy to really go through some clothes that have been there for so long that I will truly never wear again, and I have 2 bags full to donate. It feels good to get rid of larger clothes and be determined never to be that size again. Some things I've held on to...maybe in time I will get rid of them too.
Progress as of today: 46 lbs lost so far, only 41.8 lbs to go!
What a busy week! Work, doctor appointments, car repairs and house repairs have dominated this week. I've managed to get in Jazzercise twice, yoga twice, and I've met with the trainer twice. I'm exhausted! I have another busy weekend but I really hope for some down time.
I have stayed steady with my diet, and holding at 178.8 for about 3 days now. I was surprised to see 178 the other day, was up to 180 the next day (I tried really hard not to let that get me down) and it seemed that was water retention from too much sodium I guess, I was back down the next day. I was hoping 178 was not a flook - it's seemed to stick, which I'm really happy about.
Yesterday I had to run to the mall to return a few things, and a jacket and blouse caught my eye, which I had to stop and try on. It was a regular size, not a women's plus size. I thought there is no way this is going to fit...but it fit, and fit comfortably! (I didn't buy it, by the way - just had a very expensive car repair.) I am also wearing a few clothes that I haven't worn in 2-3 years. I usually dread summer because I never seem to have anything that fits me to wear. But this year I have options, and from my own closet!
I am so amazed at this NSV (non-scale victory). I don't think I look different, or even feel that much different but my clothes are fitting so much better. I am amazed, although I shouldn't be, that my body is responding so well to the changes I've been making. I do feel good!Progress as of today: 44 lbs lost so far, only 43.8 lbs to go!
Just like I told another DD member, I also also right alongside you...I don't plan to make many, if any, clothing purchases this summer...I hope to wear most items from last summer which would also be straight from my closet :) I just wanna enjoy summer, maybe stay mostly outta the mall, maybe start walking more once my ankle mends, and hopefully drop a few pounds...last item will be the most difficult for me :)
I am super excited to post yet another new low weight! I have been trying for a long time to get in the 170's, and while just barely there today, I can say goodbye to the 180's. It seems that my pattern of losing over the past few years has been a yo-yo of about 20 pounds, between 200-180, and I always get to 180-181 and never get lower, but backslide. I was just not able to break that barrier. So this loss is significant to me. In the past week, I've lost 5.8 pounds.
Thank you all for commenting and answering my questions - this is truly an amazing community, and I appreciate you!
This long weekend will be filled with exercise every day, house projects like sanding and painting the outside railing, steam cleaning the carpet, and meal prep for the week ahead.Progress as of today: 43.1 lbs lost so far, only 44.7 lbs to go!
Posted my new low weight. I've lost a few pounds, and I'm estatic that the scale is moving again. I feel like I've been in a better groove in the last few weeks with exercise and making better eating choices. I've done more cooking at home, which makes a big difference. I'm just doing very simple things like a hamburger patty (no bun) with vegetables, typically spinach or broccoli or green beans. I do have a significant sweet tooth, and I am allowing myself 1 Atkins sweet - my favorite is their peanut butter cup. I realize its processed food, but it's helping me get through the day with a treat at the end of a long day. It's not like I have it every day, but a few times a week.
I've taken the yoga class 3 times now, and I really am enjoying it. I see small improvements in my balance, and I'm constantly pushing myself to master the moves. The instructor has said I'm doing really well - which always makes me feel good. I also joined a new gym in town (how many times have I joined a gym in my life, I say to myself?), and I've been working with a trainer for 30 minutes, twice a week. I'll do twice a week for 6 weeks, then go to 1 time a week. It has really pushed me, which is what I want and need. I am using 15-20 pound hand weights, which is a gigantic differernce from my 3 pound weights I use at jazzercise. I was at jazzercise the other day, and those 3 pounders seemed so light and effortless. I'm using leg machines with 70-90 pounds. Ugh - it's hard! But I'm loving how I feel afterwards.
Tonight I'm trying a zumba class for the first time. I have a feeling I'm going to love it, so it will be another option for my cardio.
All of this exercise and meal planning takes SO much time...do any of you feel like that? I realize it's necessary for my health. I'm so tired of being overweight and having these issues plague me for so long. I feel super committed at the moment.and the key will be consistency...my biggest hurdle every time!
How do you all stay committed and consistent?Progress as of today: 41.4 lbs lost so far, only 46.4 lbs to go!
Wishing you all the best on your journey one day at a time.
Now I've made meal prep a part of our regular routine and it's actually a stress reducer for me and a way to ease into evening relaxation time. I also multi-task and help my boys with their homework while chopping/prepping/doing whatever to get things going on the evening meal. Maybe you can find a way to make it more of a routine for you?
And I agree with the advice above - stay here to keep accountable and on track!
Thank you for the good suggestions on the weight training. Much appreciated!
Yesterday I took a yoga class and absolutely loved it! It was challenging for me, and so I see that there is much improvement I can make in flexibility, strength and balance. I took a yoga class about 3 years ago, and I have a DVD that I've done a few times over the years, but it wasn't something that I really "got". The whole breathing thing takes practice I guess. And my flexibility needs some serious work. I plan to take another class on Thursday, and see how that goes. I'm trying to diversify my exersice, and so far I like what I've tried (kickboxing - my new love! and now yoga). Jazzercise will always be my primary go-to form of exercise.
Diet - that's a whole other story. I've heard many times that to lose weight it's 80% what you eat and 20% exercise. I wish it was the other way around! Food temptations are all too real for me, and I find it just plain difficult to stick to a plan for any length of time.
I just finished reading a book called "Master your Metabolism" by Jillian Michaels, and she has some very good information about hormone imbalance and what to do to get them back in balance and get your metabolism humming as it should. I do feel like I have an out-of-whack metabolism and I need to take real action. Eating the right whole foods and cutting out the junk will be the first thing to do.
Have a good, healthy day, my friends!Progress as of today: 35.9 lbs lost so far, only 51.9 lbs to go!

I'm trying to train up my legs to be able to use bigger gears (to go faster). I usually pedal around 80-95 rpm.
What are everyone's thought on how to best go about this?
Recently I started going for shorter rides in higher gears, and riding up all the hills in high gears. I think it's working.
Right now I ride a 60 inch gear. I use a 50 inch gear against a moderate wind (20-30 km/h) and a 40 inch gear against a stronger wind (35+ km/h or when I am tired). I've started powering up all the hills in the 60 inch gear (or whatever gear I am in due to the wind).
On the new shorter training rides I am pedaling in a 70 inch gear. I ride almost everyday, but only do these rides every couple of days.
Does this make sense?
I mean to me it seems like the obvious way to become able to use higher gears, is to spend time using higher gears... Also it's not like I'm likely to ever get to cycling 25 mph, if I keep pedaling in a 60 inch gear.

Flop Eared Rabbits (trait)Flop eared rabbits come in all sizes, colors, and fur types, and therefore is not a particular breed, but a characteristic or trait that can be found in many rabbit breeds. This is because the floppy ears are a recessive trait and can be passed on to any type of rabbit. These cute rabbits have been bred specifically for pets so they tend to be very docile, gentile, and warm up quickly to their loving human companions.
Flop eared rabbits have since become a very popular house pet. They are also known as lop eared rabbits or floppy eared rabbits. They only differ from other rabbits because, instead of their ears pointing straight up they hang low. As long as their home is clean this generally doesn't cause any problems.
Flop eared rabbits house train just as well as other rabbits and can live long normal lives. Just be sure to provide good nutrition with clean fresh water and a clean home. As with any rabbit, baby lop eared rabbits need a special baby rabbit food specially designed for them.
When your lop eared rabbits mature you'll want to start feeding them an adult rabbit food especially designed for pets. It should be higher in fiber (preferably contain some grass hay like timothy hay) and lower in protein and energy. This will help promote long term health for your flop eared rabbits.

We all never did understand the reasons Kennedy was never prosecuted.At the time,it was aired around that there was a pay-off to the family--probably also to the prosecutor.Don`t believe anyone could avoid a drunk driving,death by accident today.
Long time ago--boy-almost tells my age!

You are making something big out of the so called mole hill.Bain Capital-so what?Tax returns,have no bearing if you looked at Obama`s 400K income the year he showed his.All these people have tax shelters,tax avoidance lawyers,and more tax lawyers.He has made it big-so he is smarter than most>He did it on his own,the Gov`t didn`t do it for him as Obama says!!
The really needed to know items are what Obama has done,what Romney would do to correct what Obama has done!!!
#23268 Jul 19, 2012
Any thing wrong with learning,?The health care is about 1/3 good--2/3rd bad for all of us.Do you know all that it taxes all Americans?Have you any idea that if the house (homes) market is bad now,what will it do when the Heath Care Homes sales tax kicks in?A $100,000 home sold has a $3800 tax for the seller?You are the fraud and somewhat delusional over your love for what ever Obama does.Get down and dirty,did you know Obama has sent out tax dollars to out source to China?Did you know he made tax money loans to companies like Solendra,when they were going bankrupt,and got no lein on their property to get any of the loan back??Any dumb fool knows better than to do that!!!
Draft dodging--hell, so many went to Canada to avoid the draft,they began to question and did away with the draft.It is all volunteer.All religions preachers avoided the draft as well as all wealthy enough to go to college.Even Mohamed Ali avoided the draft on the basis of religion.You are blinded by your love of Obaama!

Prosecute Romney for Tax Fraud now.
The Draft dodging coward must be brought to justice.
#23275 Jul 21, 2012
You waste your time even thinking about it.If there was anything there,the I.R.S. would jump on it,and probably 50 lawyers would defend it,nothing ever happen.So,move on to something else,like,large gov`t,socialism,communism,just are not wanted in the good ole U.S.of A.

Where was all this so-called outrage when John Kerry ran for President in 2004? How much money is he worth? How much money does he have hidden in overseas accounts? Did he disclose all his financial records? And speaking of questionable military records, remember all the questions about Kerry's actual military record and his working with Jane Fonda to belittle veterans afterwards? Oh, and by the way...to set the record straight...Romney is currently worth about $250 million. Kerry was worth about $192 million when he ran for President and his wife, Heinz Ketchup heiress Theresa Heinz Kerry was worth about $750 million in 2004. Don't remember hearing any outrage about their money then...
#23286 Jul 21, 2012
It's not THE money, it's the outsourcing, the lies, and the flip flopping...Funny, you SPEW sick innuendos about an American Hero, when ALL WE WANT IS FACTS/TAX RETURNS...Give up the CON ~!
Since: Mar 10
#23287 Jul 21, 2012
Link to wikipedia site on ft Vets and POWS for Truth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swift_Vets_and_P...
SBVT asserted that Kerry was "unfit to serve" as President based upon his alleged "willful distortion of the conduct" of American servicemen during that war, and his alleged "withholding and/or distortion of material facts" as to his own conduct during that war.[2] This claim caused tremendous controversy during the election, particularly because some perceived the veterans as partisans who had not been in a place to assess Kerry,[3] while several other Vietnam veterans who served alongside Kerry or under his command disputed the criticisms and supported Kerry in his presidential aspirations.[4][5]
SBVT stated that "Kerry's phony war crimes charges, his exaggerated claims about his own service in Vietnam, and his deliberate misrepresentation of the nature and effectiveness of Swift boat operations compel us to step forward."[6] The group challenged the legitimacy of each of the combat medals awarded to Kerry by the U.S. Navy and the disposition of his discharge.(See John Kerry military service controversy.) Further, SBVT said that Kerry's later criticism of the war was a "betrayal of trust" with other soldiers, and that by his activism he had caused direct "harm" to soldiers still at war.
Registered under Section 527 of the Internal Revenue Code, SBVT publicized its criticisms of Kerry during the election campaign in a book, in television advertisements that the group ran in swing states and in the media coverage some members received. The group was the subject of several complaints to the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
After the election, the group was credited by some media and praised by conservatives as contributing to Kerry's defeat.[7]
Link to editorial about Obama campaign's attempts to link Romney to outsourcing jobs:
President Barack Obama's campaign ad slamming Gov. Mitt Romney for allegedly heading companies that "were pioneers in outsourcing U.S. jobs to low-wage countries," and claiming that "President Obama believes in insourcing" is unfair, hypocritical and dangerously deceptive.
I'm a generally a pro-Obama columnist, and I approve this message.
The 30-second ad that has been airing in recent days in Florida, Ohio, Colorado and several other swing states is one of the most intellectually dishonest political claims I have seen in a long time. And the Romney campaign defensive response that, rather than Romney, "President Obama turns out to be the real outsourcer-in-chief," is just as pathetic.
In fact, both Obama and Romney support outsourcing, the long-standing practice whereby U.S. companies manufacture overseas goods that are too costly to produce at home. And they should.
Outsourcing is not only a necessity in today's global economy, but often helps the U.S. economy by making U.S. exports more competitive abroad, and by allowing U.S. consumers to pay less for many goods.
And most of the claims against outsourcing by U.S. politicians, including Senate Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid's recent outrage over the fact that U.S. Olympic uniforms were manufactured in China, are based on half-truths or outward lies.
Among the little-known facts about outsourcing that neither Obama nor Romney are daring to mention aloud:
First, contrary to the generalized perception, surveys of multinational firms show that proximity to foreign markets -- and not low wages -- is the main reason behind U.S. companies' investments abroad.
Since: Mar 10
#23288 Jul 21, 2012
Rest of article: About 95 percent of the world's consumers are outside the United States, and U.S. firms need to be as close as possible to them, both to reduce shipping costs and to be able to tailor products to local consumers, studies show.
Second, it is not true that most of the goods produced by U.S. companies in low-wage countries are manufactured abroad in order to be exported to the United States.
"By and large, U.S. companies do not invest overseas to ship goods or services back to the United States," U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis economist Raymond Mataloni told me this week. "Over 90 percent of the goods and services that they produce overseas are sold overseas."
Third, contrary to popular perception, most U.S. foreign direct investments do not go to low-wage countries, but to rich countries such as the Netherlands, Germany and Ireland. If low wages were the primary reason for investing abroad, Haiti would be flooded with U.S. manufacturing plants. It is not.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia and Singapore accounted for 72 percent of U.S. multinational's investments overseas last year, while China accounted for less than 2 percent.
Fourth, we are in a global economy increasingly dominated by trade blocs, in which Asian and European countries respectively create supply chains within their regions to reduce costs. If the United States wants to remain a major world exporter of airplanes and cars, for instance, it will need to increase -- rather than decrease -- its supply chains in Mexico and Canada.
Fifth, regarding the phony political uproar over the Chinese-made U.S. Olympic uniforms, the United States as a country may be much better off producing aircraft than T-shirts. "As our U.S. athletes march around the track at London's Olympic stadium wearing their Chinese-made uniforms and waving their Chinese-made American flags, there is a good chance that Chinese athletes will have arrived in London by U.S.-made aircraft," Cato Institute economist Daniel Ikenson rightly noted in a recent article.
Sixth, neither Obama nor Romney will likely impose anti-outsourcing rules that would result in U.S. consumers paying twice what they are paying now for their iPads, TV sets or T-shirts.
My opinion: It's no mystery that Obama is using the outsourcing theme against Romney because he knows it may work. As Ruy Teixeira of the pro-Obama Center for American Progress think tank noted recently, citing an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll showing that 86 percent of Americans think that outsourcing is the top reason for U.S. unemployment, "the public is very, very concerned about outsourcing."
But Obama is deceiving public opinion (and Romney, too, by suggesting that he is also against outsourcing).
When presidential candidates say things that they know are misleading, they help promote the idea that all politicians are liars, encourage voter apathy and hurt the democratic process. The "outsourcing versus insourcing" ad is populist demagoguery at its worse.

This review is from: Operation Flashpoint: Red River PC Game
Pros: In single player the AI is better than the previous game DR the video and game play are very good not quite to COD standards but story line makes up for that and you are free to move around as you like. You can heal fellow teammates and yourself.
Cons: No fairness in combat one hit and your down, they are deadly accurate seam to shoot through walls at times you die a lot. When shooting them it takes a least 3 hits for a kill and you must expose yourself to fire. If you see one in the open you aim and fire but your shot don't count you are instantly dead. If you cross a field the mortar fire kills you and you never know where it is coming from if you hide behind a wall the mortar drops right on top of you. When you are wounded the health restore takes a long time and if a enemy comes along you cannot switch to a weapon in time to make a kill you are dead. Than all the way back and start over.
Other Thoughts: I have played Arma II all the way through played DR all the way along with all the COD, but this one I am just about to give up on it. You play for 30 minuets get hit by a mortar and have to play the whole thing over no personal saves. I have been playing games since Wolfinstine 3D and this may be the first game I will never finish.

|January 24, 2010 - 10:26pm Cambridge Climate Emergency Congress--the second session on January 23, 2010 The second session of the Climate Emergency congress was even livelier that the first. Delegates found that prioritization of their recommendations had not progressed much beyond the 'laundry list' categorization of the 'Draft Recommendations' issued a few weeks earlier. Apparently this was partly due to technical and organization problems with incorporating responses to the online survey, most of which came in during the last few days. The version of the recommendations presented to the second session included a new proposal advanced by the drafting group to encapsulate suggestions to set up provisions for ensuring citizen participation in and adequate city staffing for follow-up on the recommendations. The next breakout into small groups was self-organized by delegates according to 'open space' principles, grouping according to areas of interest, which resulted in several potential task forces that intend to continue working in the areas of environmental justice, education, building energy efficiency, and urban forestry. Discussions on goal-setting and how best to coordinate city-... read more

- Brian Lawlor of The Nature Conservancy will speak on "The Vineyard Habitat Network," 2 p.m. March 16 at Cape Cod Museum of Natural History, Route 6A, Brewster. Free with museum admission.
Tree and shrub branches that have been damaged by ice and snow should be removed before new spring growth for the health and look of the plant. Remove the damaged stem back to the nearest branch or leader, leaving the natural swelling or collar at the join. Lopping shears will handle smaller branches. Use a pruning saw for thicker ones, but leave branches that are large, high or near power lines to an arborist.
Everybody makes mistakes. But in knitting, those mistakes can be a pain to fix. That's where "When Bad Things Happen to Good Knitters" (Taunton Press, $21.95) comes in. The knitting survival guide, an updated version of the book first published in 2007, offers guidance to knitters who've gone astray. Authors Marion Edmonds and Ahza Moore, both veteran knitters and teachers, offer tips for preventing problems in the first place, diagnoses for common knitting problems and methods for dealing with emergencies — all with a good dose of humor and all-is-not-lost reassurance. Edmonds and Moore have also included handy extras such as a chart of emergency substitutions for knitting tools, and they've added a chapter to this edition introducing some new techniques.

Lakeside Industries development pact could transform quarry site
December 11, 2012
The gravel quarry on a hillside below the Issaquah Highlands, plus land adjacent to the highlands, could someday transform into businesses and homes, if city leaders approve a long-term agreement to redevelop the site.
The landowner and quarry operator, Issaquah-based Lakeside Industries Inc., proposed a 30-year development agreement last year for about 120 acres on both sides of Highlands Drive Northeast. The proposed pact is scheduled to reach the City Council on Dec. 17, as officials consider a plan to remake the area.
The land under consideration is zoned for mineral resources and single-family residences. The development agreement could change the designation on some areas to urban village, the same rules used for the highlands and Talus.
Issaquah unveils salmon-centric city logo
August 21, 2012
The triangle is out. The salmon is in.
Issaquah leaders plan to phase out the longtime city logo — a triangle and stylized As meant to evoke the Issaquah Alps — and use a salmon-centric emblem instead.
The shift comes as the city and a contractor complete a monthslong effort to overhaul the dated municipal website and forge a more modern image for city government.
Boy Scouts tackle three Issaquah Alps in one day
July 3, 2012
Local group climbs mountains in less than 12 hours
A troop of Boy Scouts recently set what might be a world record when they climbed all three of the Issaquah Alps in one day.
The 20-mile hike began behind schedule on a misty Saturday morning.
Roughly 10 minutes after 7 a.m. June 9, the hikers began their long walk from Newcastle to Issaquah.
The handful of Scouts accompanied by their parents had their work cut out for them. They called it the "Three Peak Challenge." The troop was accompanied by experienced hiker Paul Mitchell.
The challenge was to hike Cougar, Squak and Tiger mountains within 12 hours. The Scouts finished the hike in 11½.
What's your Issaquah IQ?

Issaquah anecdotes stretch deep into the past and continue into the 21st century. Look beyond the basics to discover tidbits and trivia.

Press Editorial
April 17, 2012
Give a nod to planet Earth
Arbor Day is April 21, followed by Earth Day on April 22. Both are an equal opportunity to show appreciation for the third rock from the sun.
The city Parks & Recreation Department will plant 150 trees along Issaquah Creek on Saturday in honor of Arbor Day. Just last week, the city earned Tree City USA status for the 19th year.
Earth Day gets a jumpstart in Issaquah on Thursday when Lake Sammamish kokanee salmon fry are released into Laughing Jacobs Creek. Public tours are available this weekend to see what happens to unrecycled garbage at the Cedar Hills Landfill in south Issaquah. Also south of the city limits, volunteers will mulch and weed the Log Cabin Natural Area along Issaquah Creek. Volunteers will do back-country trail work on Cougar Mountain.
Issaquah Alps Trails Club aims to get edgier, hipper — and younger
April 17, 2012
Despite its adventurous name, the Issaquah Alps Trails Club looks more like your local Lions Club.
"Most of the club members are getting pretty long in the tooth," said board member George Potter, 63. "The average age of our board is almost 70."
The graying of this grass roots hiking-and-environmental advocacy group has spawned a new goal: to get younger, edgier and hipper, if only for its very survival.
Northwest Paddling Association picks Issaquah for annual event
March 27, 2012
The Northwest Paddling Association has tabbed Issaquah and Lake Sammamish State Park as the future location of its annual Paddling Festival.
The event will feature paddling industry vendors, product demonstrations, kayak tours and more, according to the Issaquah Chamber of Commerce.
The first event on Lake Sammamish is set for May 11-12.
USA Today spotlights Issaquah Alps trails
February 28, 2012
Issaquah Alps peaks and trails garnered national attention Feb. 21 after USA Today featured the Eastside mountains in a travel piece.
The feature outlines trails and points of interest on Cougar, Squak and Tiger mountains — including the long-defunct Nike Ajax missile installation on Cougar Mountain and the paraglider launch site on Tiger Mountain.
"Hiking through Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park, on to Squak Mountain State Park Natural Area and into Tiger Mountain State Forest adds mileage but provides a scenic route," the guide notes.
USA Today spotlights Issaquah Alps hiking trails
February 22, 2012
NEW — 9 a.m. Feb. 22, 2012
Issaquah Alps peaks and trails garnered some national attention Tuesday after USA Today featured the Eastside mountains in a travel piece.
The piece outlines trails and points of interest on Cougar, Squak and Tiger mountains — including the long-defunct Nike Ajax missile installation on Cougar Mountain and the paraglider launch site on Tiger Mountain.
"Hiking through Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park, on to Squak Mountain State Park Natural Area and into Tiger Mountain State Forest adds mileage but provides a scenic route," the guide notes.
The piece is the latest national recognition for the Issaquah Alps and the mountains' namesake city.
Experience life in Issaquah 100 years ago — outhouses, saloons and all
February 21, 2012
Forget the buttoned-up suburb, circa 2012, to envision Issaquah from a century ago.
Issaquah in 1912 included more saloons than churches. The coalmines and logging camps attracted a tough-as-nails crowd. The era required a little more steel in the backbone.
Townsfolk eked out a hardscrabble life, but still managed to loosen up at the Stockholm Hotel & Saloon or Clark's Place. In homes, simple conveniences — indoor plumbing, for instance — ranked as unheard-of luxuries.
Imagine a typical day from 1912.
The chill February air is a bracing alarm, almost as difficult to ignore as the crowing rooster outside.

I use this earwash on my ferrets all the time. It doesn't have a repelling smell like most other ear washes do and it keeps their ears smelling good, even a few days after using it. It's a good, sensative formula that does the trick!
