It's great to know that the hard work and dedication of the owner had been finally paid off. I hope that the success story of  Copa Di Vino will inspire some of the businesses  that there is no impossible if you  will just be determined and try to  make things possible. Perseverance, commitment  and strong passions are just some of the main ingredients of success. Long lived  Copa Di Vino! Hope that it will just be the beginning, we could then expect for a progressive operation  in the few years to come. Government should encourage and gave much support to private and &lt;a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2010/07/29/sba-emergency-loans-denied/"&gt;small business&lt;/a&gt;, it's better if they could  provide financial assistance  because additional financial resources will stabilize every business operation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:e5825fff-ae50-404e-a320-c69ad1a26d10] --&gt;</description>

Kevin Cavenaugh actually created the first shared workspace in Portland at TENpod NE45th and Fremont. See tenpod.org&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;A second TENpod is housed in The Rocket building on 11th and E Burnside. Come check us out this Friday &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://tenpod.org/events/"&gt;http://tenpod.org/events/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Originally conceived of by guerilla developer and architect Kevin  Cavenaugh, the first TENpod created in 2005, is located in The Ode to Roses building in  the Beaumont Neighborhood of Portland, Oregon. The TENpod empire was  expanded in 2008 at The Burnside Rocket on E Burnside and 11th. A  perfect convergence of Portland's creative talents and sustainability  ethic, The Rocket is a LEED platinum building covered with art panels  created by local artists. So it makes sense that the building is filled  with Portland's notorious "creatives" and sustainability professionals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The  Rocket TENpod is a creative services coop comprised of 10 independently  owned and operated businesses. We are architects, writers, designers,  artists, business and marketing consultants, engineers, builders and  more!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:577c0426-0ef8-4769-aa3f-a75c56e43fc3] --&gt;</description>
