When is it the Time to Start a Business?
You’re 18, fresh out of high school. You’re 22, fresh out of uni. You’re 35, married with kids. You’re 55 and the kids have left home. You’re 65 and wish you started that business. Don’t worry, you’re not too old.
There is never going to be a perfect time to start your own business or turn an idea into reality. But there are better times than others and identifying that better time is vital. There are a few questions you can ask yourself to help you decide.

Have the wanton days of disco returned? Two upcoming events suggest as much. You can still get tickets to tomorrow night’s Dirty Disco Laundrette event we mentioned, where a Williamsburg laundromat will be converted into "one of the wildest and most visually stunning (underwear) parties the city has seen," an announcement promises.

Who got that vocab?! of the week: Paraprosdokian
A paraprosdokian (pronounced /pærəprɒsˈdoʊki.ən/) is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part. It is frequently used for humorous or dramatic effect, sometimes producing an anticlimax. For this reason, it is extremely popular among comedians and satirists.

Getting things started here at Ruff Luxury is a thirty-minute mix focusing on the sounds of Barranquilla, Colombia. Many of these tunes were recorded at Felito Records’ Estudios Felito : "El Templo del Sonido Perfecto", mainly during the eighties, but going back to the seventies once or twice and as far forward as ’91 for the Nelda.
