Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. This will miraculously transform your whole life.
Eckhart Tolle
Surrender to what is. Let go of what was. Have faith in what will be.
Sonia Ricotti
In the previous blog, we examined Hyperfocus, the second mental attribute of Actualized Leaders. In this blog I would like to examine the third cognitive ability practiced by self-actualizing individuals: Optimal Time Orientation or OTO. While OTO refers to living primarily in the present moment, it must be considered from three distinct time frames: Past, Present, and Future. Research demonstrates that individuals with a balanced time perspective are psychologically and physically healthier and more optimistic. So, let's start by defining OTO: a balanced sense of time where the individual lives primarily in the present moment. Individuals who practice OTO will occasionally refer to the past or look to the future with an overall positive expectation, but allow themselves the gift of being primarily in the present moment.
Today the term "mindful" is often used to describe a large part of our OTO definition. Perhaps the most useful definition of mindfulness is "paying attention on purpose without judgment." When individuals are mindful they are better able to manage stress, more resilient, and sleep better. Moreover, they enjoy sensual pleasures, from savoring food to listening to music to making love, more intensely.
Many philosophers, psychologists, and experts in the field of human performance, however, tell us that the opposite of OTO, mindlessness, is at epidemic proportions. Unlike every other animal on the planet, human beings have the unique capacity for thinking about what is not currently happening. We have the ability to reminisce about the past and to plan for the future. In the right amount, this skill provides a tremendous cognitive advantage unique to humans. However, today more than ever before, we are tempted by unprecedented distractions, from status updates to text messages to real-time score updates. And while research shows that a wandering mind is a human mind, it can also create an unhappy mind. Yes, there are cognitive benefits to gain from toggling between the past, present, and future, but they come at an emotional cost if not maintained in a healthy balance.
When we spend our mental energy in the past we often experience guilt and resentment. We tend to replay things that didn't go our way, and reliving those experiences causes negative feelings. Conversely, if we spend our mental energy focused on the future, we are likely to experience fear and anxiety. In either extreme, we often rob ourselves of actualizing our highest potential in the only moment we are promised: now.
If you want to develop your OTO in order to be more mindful, consider the following activities:
- Take a 15-minute walk every day.
- Practice meditating for five minutes when you first wake up.
- Focus on your breathing; slow, deliberate breaths are incompatible with stress.
- Become a unitasker. Focus intently on one task at a time, and reward yourself with multiple short breaks.
- Pay attention on purpose; intently notice and enjoy the routine, from a sunrise on your morning commute to the hectic time with your children in the evening.
Eckhart Tolle reminds us that most stress is caused by "… being here, but wanting to be there." Embrace your "here," whatever that may be, and when you do, you free yourself to find meaning and purpose in your current circumstances. And whether your "here" is in the living room or the bedroom, you will give yourself a precious gift: this moment.


text: Getting started as a real estate investor can seem like a daunting task. There are so many things to consider, so many different strategies, and so many opportunities. As an aspiring real estate investor, here are 3 steps you can take to take in order to get started on the right foot. Want more articles like this? Create an account today to get BiggerPocket's best blog articles delivered to your inbox Sign up for free 1. Select a strategy The toughest part of getting started is selecting the strategy for your first investment. As part of choosing a strategy you should consider the type of investment you'd like to make. Are you going to go for a quick flip, a long-term buy-and-hold, or put together a rent-to-own deal? You should also consider the area where you'd like to invest and make sure the strategy you choose is appropriate for that area. In general, it is best to look for growing areas with a bright future since these types of areas will provide the best exit options for almost any strategy. Take your time selecting the right strategy, just don't allow yourself to get stuck in analysis paralysis. 2. Gather your resources Once you've decided on a strategy, you'll want to pool your resources. At this stage make sure you have enough cash or liquid assets to cover the down payment and closing costs required for your particular investment strategy with some room to spare. Be sure to talk to a mortgage broker early on to determine what sort of financing you qualify for. This way you'll be ready to pull the trigger when you come across a great deal that fits your plan. 3. Build a team Regardless of the type of strategy you use, you'll need some help from various professionals. Any experienced real estate investor will tell you how important it is to have a great team you can trust. Depending on your plans, in addition to a mortgage broker, you'll want to find a real estate lawyer, Realtor, home inspector, insurance broker, accountant and property manager. Looking for professionals who own investment real estate themselves or who have experience working with lots of real estate investors will help you find the best members for your team. Once you've found a strategy that works for you, gather your resources, find the teammates you need, and don't look back. The most important thing is to just get started. You don't need to make the deal of the century on your first deal, just find something that makes sense and get started. photo credit: Travis Hornung

October Music Preview: 8 albums you need to hear this month
Every month, we look ahead at the albums coming out from across the country that we think you should hear. This month we have new albums by Tanya Tagaq, John K. Samson, Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, Philippe Sly and more. Read on for more about each upcoming release.
Who: The Once
What: We Win Some We Lose
When: Oct. 4
Why you should listen: The first in a series of EPs for St. John's the Once, We Win Some We Lose was recorded at producer Daniel Ledwell's studio in Lake Echo, N.S., and on it the folk trio finds a balance between "traditional" East Coast sensibilities and catchy pop elements. Whether it's the banjo-plucking, harmony-filled "We are Love" or the simpler keyboard number "Tell me Something I Don't Know," all of the Once's moving parts shine a big, bright light on lead singer Geraldine Hollett's vocals and the harmonies that support her (including bandmates Phil Churchill and Andrew Dale). It's a collection of five beautiful songs, with two repeats ("Last Lemonade and "The Blood inside Your Heart (For Olilve)") added as live versions, making for a sweet taste of what's in store on upcoming EPs from the Newfoundland band. — Holly Gordon (@hollygowritely)
Who: Diamond Mind
Album: Heavy Metal Sunshine
When: Oct. 7
Why you should listen: Edmonton three-piece Diamond Mind cleverly combines elements of pop, rock, soul and, well, noise in their groovy debut record, Heavy Metal Sunshine. The music isn't always easily accessible but that's not a bad thing. The album warrants repeat listening which leads to pleasant sonic discoveries with each spin. — Judith Lynch (@CBCJudith)
Who: Blackie and the Rodeo Kings
Album: Kings and Kings
When: Oct. 7
Why you should listen: In 2011, Blackie and the Rodeo Kings released Kings and Queens, an album featuring guest performances by some of the band's favourite female singers. Now, we have the companion piece. Kings and Kings features the band performing with some of their favourite "guy" friends with collaborations with Keb Mo', Rodney Crowell, Bruce Cockburn, City and Colour, Nick Lowe and more. — JL
Who: Philippe Sly and John Charles Britton
Album: Schubert Sessions
When: Oct. 14
Why you should listen: Philippe Sly, the charismatic bass-baritone who swept the prizes at the 2012 Montreal International Musical Competition, returns with a fresh take on Schubert Lieder, swapping the usual piano accompaniment with the guitar stylings of John Charles Britton. The effect is akin to sitting on a sofa with the two musicians and having them whisper and strum the music for you alone, like an impromptu singer-songwriter session. It's intimate and immediate music-making that's sure to bring new audiences to these little Schubert gems. — Robert Rowat (@rkhr)
Who: Gord Downie
Album: Secret Path
When: Oct. 18
Why you should listen: "We are not the country we thought we were," Gord Downie said in a press release about this album. Sit with that for a second. We are not who we thought we were. We are not who we think we are. If you're at all surprised by the story of Chanie Wenjack and the horrors of residential schools then you simply have not been paying attention. You can change that. Today. Start with this album. — JL
Who: Tanya Tagaq
Album: Retribution
When: Oct. 21
Why you should listen: According to its own press release, Tanya Tagaq's new album, Retribution, is about rape: "Rape of women, rape of the land, rape of children, despoiling of traditional lands without consent." Thematically, that's punk as f--k, and the music and arrangements are a perfect match to the album title's literal and metaphorical interpretations. The record moves in and out of darkness, and there are moments here that are so intense one might be tempted to turn it off, but there's no escape from the feelings that Tagaq evokes. Chilling, thoughtful and wrenching, Retribution is equal parts indictment and rallying cry, revenge fantasy and warning. — Andrea Warner (@_AndreaWarner)
Who: John K. Samson
Album: Winter Wheat
When: Oct. 21
Why you should listen: Sometimes you don't know that you were waiting for an album until the album itself is announced. It's been four years since John K. Samson's last solo project, Provincial, and it's been eight years since the last studio album from Samson's band, The Weakerthans. This month, Samson's back with another solo album, Winter Wheat, that employs the Weakerthans' rhythm section. Recorded during a Winnipeg winter (they are truly like no other), Samson remains a songwriter and music-maker on top of his craft. — JL
Who: Skye Wallace
Album: Something Wicked
When: Oct. 29
Why you should listen: Skye Wallace's gritty and pretty sound is in full effect on her wildly ambitious new album, Something Wicked. The dark-folk singer-songwriter blazes new trails on this album, having left her home in Vancouver for a year in Toronto to make Something Wicked with beloved musician/producer Jim Bryson. The result is a tremendously diverse collection of songs that pivots confidently between dirty blues, warm art-pop, folk-rock and the occasional nod to sultry Canadiana. "I'll burn you to the ground," she sings with a snarl that's equal parts promise and threat on the lead single "Blood Moon." Her vocals brandish the stomping, sexy, relentless rhythm like a rider taming a wild horse before the fiddle moves into the foreground, giving the whole track a sweaty, rootsy, country-noir vibe. Something Wicked is a great walk on the wild side. — AW

If you are having issues with deleting or opening the app on iOS, chances are, if you recently restored your device or if you updated a high amount of apps at a time, there might be apps that are stuck on 'waiting'.
Here is a quick fix on releasing the game from your device:
1. Complete iTunes Sync: The apps that you've installed on your iPhone must also be on iTunes if you've synced before. In this case, what you can try to do is remove the app in iTunes, re-sync with iPhone so that the app gets removed from iPhone as well and then install the app via iPhone again.
- Connect your iPhone to the PC and open iTunes.
- "Remove" apps that are stuck in 'waiting' or not able to be deleted from the iPhone via iTunes. To do this, just click on your iPhone from the sidebar, click on Apps tab and from the list, against the app that's causing the issue, click 'Installed' – this will change to 'Will Remove.'
- Sync your iPhone via iTunes. The app should now be removed from the iPhone.
Once you've removed apps this way, you can re-install them if need be. For the apps that are stuck on 'waiting', you can just remove them this way and then re-install them on the iPhone (not through iTunes).
2. Do a fresh Restore from Backup: A fresh restore from a backup you did recently is a good way to restore things back to normal. If you have a backup on iTunes, you can use this backup to solve the issue.
You can restore from an earlier backup by clicking on the Restore option in iTunes. This will prompt you to choose a backup (if there is one).
If not, the restore will upgrade your iPhone to the latest iOS version along with removing all the apps. If you are not particular about data at this point, you might do a fresh restore too. It's like starting from scratch but you can get all the apps back via the App Store → Purchased section.
3. Reset Everything: Not known to work all the time, but resetting everything might just help you fix the issue of apps stuck on waiting. We first tried doing a hard-reset by pressing the home and power together till the iPhone goes blank and then powering it up again. But this didn't work.
To reset all, go to Settings → General → Reset → Reset All Settings. This won't erase any data.
4. Check Download Queue: In case you've got apps stuck on waiting or loading, this might also be due to a long download queue. You can fix this easily.
- Open the App Store
- Click on Updates
- Click on Purchased
- If there are a bunch of apps stuck on "Installing", you've got to repeat #1 to remove these apps via iTunes and then re-sync.

When you first make a claim for Universal Credit you will have to wait around five weeks for your first payment.
If you face financial hardship during this period of time you can request an Advance Payment of Universal Credit.
The Advance Payment is a loan which you have to pay back from your Universal Credit payments a bit at a time. You don't pay any interest on a Universal Credit Advance Payment.
The amount of this can be up to 100% of your estimated entitlement to Universal Credit. However, you will have to pay this amount back through deductions from your future payments of Universal Credit.
You will have to tell the DWP how much money you need and what you need it for. You should provide a breakdown of how much you need for essential items such as rent, bills, and food. The DWP will then decide how much advance payment they can give you.
You will normally receive the advance within five days of requesting it, but if the DWP agree your situation is urgent payment can be made quicker (even on the same day in some cases).
Repayments are made by making deductions directly from your monthly Universal Credit award lasting a period of up to 12 months. You can ask for the repayments of the advance to be delayed for up to 3 months if you cannot afford it. This is only allowed in exceptional circumstances.
The Universal Credit helpline adviser assesses whether you can afford to repay the advance. If they agree to the advance, they will tell you over the phone:
how much you can have
the monthly repayment amounts
when the first repayment is due.

Tonight at the Barclays Center, some of MMA's toughest ladies will do battle as one of the years most anticipated cards takes over Brooklyn.
Three pivotal women's bouts will be featured throughout the night across two divisions– one flyweight fight and two strawweight scraps. In the feature fight of the Early Fight Pass Prelims, Bec Rawlings and Ashlee Evans-Smith will settle their differences. Later that night, the FS1 Prelims will be capped off by top ten strawweight standouts Karolina Kowalkiewicz and Felice Herrig. Finally, in the co-main event of the night, Joanna Jedrzejczyk will attempt to reclaim the strawweight throne as she rematches the reigning champion, "Thug" Rose Namajunas.
Prior to tonight's thrilling throwdowns, the WMMA Rankings team weighs-in on which fighters they believe will have their hands raised. Check out the panel predictions below!
Rose Namajuns vs Joanna Jedrzejczyk
JILL: As Rose said to on Joe Rogan's MMA podcast, "You can't paint the Mona Lisa twice." I think she's going to give Joanna a run for her money, but I think the former champ will make the right adjustments. Joanna by decision.
IDREES: I feel that Joanna bought into her own hype and was overconfident going into the first fight with Namajunas. I expect Joanna to be more measured in her approach and knock the champion out in the fourth.
TERENCE: Rose has predicted a submission this time. I don't know what adjustments Joanna can make to win this unless she gets Rose early and hard and finishes her. I think Rose gets her pick. My prediction – Rose Namajunas by 2nd round submission.
STEPHEN: The first fight was all Rose Namajunas. She beat Joanna on the feet, which was shocking in itself. This time Rose will need to mix her stand up with her the ground game. If Joanna wins, it will be on the feet. Her standup is lethal and if she gets it going early, Rose might be in for a long fight. Rose Namajunas, Submission Round 4.
NICK: Dana White predicted this to be FOTN, and I got to agree with him on that one. This is such an elite level, pivotal WMMA fight. It's hard to match these two up given the duration of their first encounter… there are so many ways this can go down. I'm going to agree with Jill and Idrees on this one— a more measured Joanna makes the right adjustments to drag Rose into deep waters enroute to a decision victory.

Hungry for some noodles and dimsum? Hungry no more for Samdoo Chinese Restaurant is the solution to your cravings 🙂
Did I sound like I'm advertising the place? Oh well, I am not and I'm just sharing you my wonderful experience whenever I go and eat at Samdoo. So why do I keep on coming back there?
Here's the real deal.
1. Their food is cheap. Dimsum and dumplings start from $1.80, while their noodles go from $3.00+. My recommendation is their har gao, siu mai, and pork buns for dumplings and dimsum, while egg noodle soup with wonton and pork bbq for noodles. If you wish to try something a little bit exotic, order a plate of steamed chicken feet which is cooked with soy sauce for long hours making its meat soft and savory. I bet you'll like it 🙂
2. The place is cozy with huge comfy chairs and nice tables. They also have wi-fi now, so internet addict people like me can stay connected all throughout the time while eating the food.
3. They're located right at the center of the city which makes traveling convenient. Since they're very close to Phsar Thmey (Central Market), getting lost is not going to be a problem.
4. Service staff are not very good in English but at least they are pleasant to the customers.
5. Above all the facts I can think of, taste is very important. I'd say their food is really tasty and delicious – if not, there will be no second or third time for me and my family there.
Samdoo Restaurant
located at 56 Kampuchea Krom Blvd. Phnom Penh, Cambodia

I live in Suburbia. Nicely wooded, about 10 minutes from Red Rocks Park and the world famous Amphitheater. Our neighborhoods are heavily wooded, very forest-like.
I was hearing some different bird sounds this morning so I grabbed the camera and within 10 minutes had some shots of a Flicker and a young Bluejay.
Gotta love suburban nature!

Visiting a Church can be a Frightening Thing
"What should I wear? Will people speak to me? Will I find a seat? Is there something for my kids?"
Maybe you are returning to church, or coming to church for the very first time. You may feel like people are watching you or maybe that people will judge you. "Will the preacher condemn me from the stage?" "Will people judge me if I look differently than they do?"
A few tips to help you when you visit Gateway:
- We do our best to make your visit to our church a pleasant one. We know finding a new church can be a difficult thing to figure out, so please come just as you are.
- Feel free to come casual or dressy. We have no dress code – whatever makes you comfortable is great with us.
- Sit anywhere you like, there are no assigned seats.
- Beware of friendly people – someone WILL speak to you.
- The sermons are designed to be relevant to life and spiritually encompassing. You just might learn something!
- We are not after your money! Guests are encouraged to enjoy the visit with NO obligation to give.
- Gateway is not a perfect church, but we strive to have a heart for people from all walks of life.
We would love to see you this Sunday at 10:00am!

A "wireframe" is a simple sketch or schematic diagram representing the content and functionality of a single web page. A set of multiple wireframes representing an entire intranet becomes the prototype, or model of the site to come. Since they are quick to create and easy to change, wireframes are an integral part of the web design and development process.
Wireframes help everyone understand what a site needs to look like before a lot of time and effort is expended on actual development. Using wireframes, teams can consider many design options and solve design problems before committing resources to a specific design direction.
The best wireframes are simple sketches. Simple black and white sketches help people stay focused only on navigation, content areas and functionality. Wireframes should not dictate color choices, typography, pictures or other graphic design elements. They simply suggest what should go where.
Before you create a set of wireframes it's important to have an understanding of your organization's goals and who the audience is for your intranet. In other words, why are you doing this project?
Analyzing business goals and user needs is a critical first step to creating your intranet strategy. It ensures that time spent on wireframes or any other part of your intranet project will be used most effectively.
What's the purpose of your intranet? Why do you need it? Do you need to facilitate better internal communications between departments or make documents easier to access by posting them online? What does the site need to do for the business?
Who is your audience? Will anyone care about your new intranet? Who? Knowing who your users are is critical. You could build the greatest intranet in the world, but it won't matter if no one uses it. Find out who your users are and ask them what they need the site to do.
Once you've evaluated your business goals and user needs it's time to validate them in the field. And that means talking to people before you start making wireframes.

Striped lips makeupJanuary 17, 2017
Do you have those days when you wake up and don't feel like getting out of bed or doing anything? Well that's how I feel almost every day during winter, and the only thing that seems fun to me is doing makeup.
So there will probably be more of these posts, at least until my exams start. And now I'll talk about the products I have used.
Foundation: For foundation I have used Catrice Nude Illusion - Nude Ivory and Essence all about matt! fixing powder which I only apply on oily parts of my skin, but when I do looks like this one for fun and photographs I apply it everywhere because I want my skin to look as light as possible.
Eyebrows: For a few months I've been using only L'oreal brow artist pen, it's a good product but I will keep experimenting and try some new products soon.
Eyes: I have used Nyx Smokey Eye Palette, white and both black colour, the matte one and the glittery one. First I have applied white eyeshadow on inner parts of eyelids, then the matte black eyeshadow on middle and outer parts of eyelids. After that I have applied Aura black liquid liner and I have used glittery black eyeshadow to blend the eyeliner and eyeshadows. And at the end I used Aura's white pen on the inner part of my lowerd eyelid.
Lips: I have used Aura's white lip pen again as a base and on top Nyx Macaron

Have you ever noticed that you feel so much better and fresh right after taking a good bath or shower. That feeling seems to last only for a short time, yet it really feels cool. Ok then let's get into the meat and taters here.
And I might be shooting myself in the foot for saying this, but its getting really frustrating that for all the money I have spent on want ads on Facebook, all the supposedly energetic women that seem so damn gung ho on being on radio here at HazzardAyre/AyreWolfFM , that even when you make it easy for them to come over for a meet and greet, they never drive over. What its only a 60 mile drive 45 miles if you run over the Bob Barton highway and up route 46 up here to Wendell, and maybe $10.00 in fuel? Then even if they do show up, see that is if they get out of the car, and see that the career opening is real, but then never call back. What they get spooked just because they might be working for an ratical MC/Aviation organization, is it all the leggy thing? What? I'd like someone to tell me. Is it that they think that I'm just looking for a fast hop in the sack. Too badd so sad, I'm taken. I'd not do that in 8 months of Sundays, I got my Shelly and I ain't messing that up. Could it be just that? That I am taken and on the way to the alter that might mean that these honey's can't just wiggle their butts or put their toes in nylons under my nose and get me to jump, that they might have to demonstrate they have some talent to be on air? Or at least have some skills to base training on? That they really do have to work to earn a pay check? Look our gig is not for the doo gooders, or the holier than thou crowd. It's not serving food, nor is it doing anything farming which is a major gig around these parts. The reason we push for women more than guys on air is simple. The male hosts on our station is done by our male members of the Knytes/WolfPack aka the AyreWolvez. Granted we are not the usual , nice guys and yes we are the ones your parents warned you about. Yet I have yet, to hear of any club member on any of our stations of 8, in the mountain west that have been violated in any way. I and the Club have a strict policy of not too much contact nor personal interaction off air, or at studio.
Granted I too would love to have this thing in a more professional formal setting, but the where we intended on putting the Wendell studio, the owner don't want ratical biker, pilots in her facility. Says we'd make too much noise as if, since there's a bar that hosts biker meets, and plays loud music as well, but we are not welcome there at her place and with apartments on the second floor its a no. Plus one of our associates, Crimson says the lady whom owns that place is doing sinister things there so with that, the radio gig is done in a rear room here at the Club's Rode House. But should that detour someone from getting involved? No. On the subject of Crimson, and a friends sort of, of hers. Crimson and her husband James are damn good people. The thing is we just couldn't make it work on a professional level, so it was the Club's decision to suspend Crimson and all until we were better organized with the media gig, then request to hire her back. Then there was her friend Danika, who said she was all up to do radio, so I held up and off things I had to do to host her for a swing through the radio jungle. Guess what? No came in to do the slot, no phone call, no nothing. During my day its a $60.00 an hour gig. If I tow its $80.00 and if I'm doing mobile repairs, or doing the radio thing its $60.00 an hour. If I can't do my work I loose that $60.00 an hour which makes it hard for me to pay my rent, cable/internet, power, and so on. If I book time for a meet and greet of new talent, and I spend my time, then no call, ignore me on fb, or such I just wasted that $60.00 an hour.
So to all of you would be radio personalities, pin up models etc, if your not going to take the gig seriously, then please do not answer the ads and say your interested.
I have other more important things to do.
Then there was Chandra, I really liked her. Pretty as can be full of energy, yet; no call and completely ignores me. How about a simple email, phone call, or something telling why she declined the opening?
Of course there's that Mandy from Heyburn Idaho. She too was all to going in as an associate. Hell I even paid her rent, rather than part of mine last month, yet what did we get out of it? Nothing.
So as I said before, if your not serious about the career and it is a career, not just a job opening, then do me the kindness of not answering the ad or saying you want a meet and greet.

Publication ethics continues to be an enduring topic touching on a wide range of increasingly complicated issues. For journal editors and publishers, as well as researchers, there are concerns regarding plagiarism, data and citation manipulation, conflicts of interest, and even identifying legitimate publishing sources, among others. COPE (the Committee on Publication Ethics), of which SAGE, many of our journals, and others in the publishing community are members, serves as a valuable resource for promoting integrity in research publications, offering advice, forums, guidelines, a Code of Conduct and more. At the journal level, there is also good work being produced to promote research and publishing ethics.
A recent example is found in the editorial of the current issue of Family Business Review where Tyge Payne and Duane Ireland take up key issues regarding ethics in family business research with far-reaching relevance. Looking not only at the particular ethical problems in research, they expand the conversation to include the role of the wider scholarly community –researchers, reviewers, editors and institutional leaders – in dealing with ongoing ethical concerns in scholarly publishing. How do you build a community of responsible scholars? What are the key issues for researchers? For editors and reviewers? How do institutional leaders influence behaviors? Read the editorial, "It Takes a Village: Ethical Publishing of Family Business Research," in Family Business Review, free through June.

Joe Biden and the Mouth That Soars
AMES, Iowa -- Joe Biden is in the 27th minute of his five-minute presentation, but nobody in the church basement has slipped away, nobody is nodding off, nobody is doing anything but following his every word.
"It was a mistake," he says in reply to a question about his vote to authorize the Iraq war. "I regret my vote."
Story Continued Below
Joe Biden's mouth can get him in trouble, but when it is working right, the words drop from his lips like pearls, and nodding heads now spread through the audience like ripples on a pond.
Biden's full reply to the attendees of the Story County Annual Soup Supper takes 4 minutes and 45 seconds -- it can take him 4 minutes and 45 seconds to say "hello" -- but here is the short version:
"It was a mistake," Biden says. "I regret my vote. I regret not realizing how incompetent (the Bush administration) would be. The president did not level with us. And if I had known it, I would never have voted to give him that authority in the first place."
The applause washes over him. It threatens to go on and on until he cuts it off by saying: "I want to do yes-or-no answers from now on."
Everybody laughs.
"But that was an important question," Biden says.
How important? Well, imagine that question being asked at a Democratic debate -- as surely it will be -- with all the Democratic candidates on stage.
Biden will say his vote was a mistake. As will Chris Dodd. As will John Edwards.
Hillary Clinton?
She will say, I guess, what she said in Dover, N.H., the other day: "If the most important thing to any of you is choosing someone who did not cast that vote or has said his vote was a mistake, then there are others to choose from."
And Joe Biden wants to make sure he is one of the others they choose.
Most politicians love to serve but hate to run, and you can hardly blame them: Running is when you get the least respect. Running is when the voters remind you that you are a job applicant and they are doing the hiring.
But Biden, a senator from Delaware, seems to live for campaigning, live for the give and take, live for switching audiences from rapt attention to raucous laughter and back again.
Joe Biden is a glad-hander in the best sense of the word: He looks glad to be grasping each person's hand, looking the person in the eye, answering some question or exchanging some pleasantry -- "You're going to a wedding in Delaware? What hotel? You're kidding! I live four miles from that hotel!" -- and then, spying the next person down the row, saying, "I'm coming for you! I'm coming!"
At the soup supper, he kneels down on one knee on the tile floor next to an elderly woman and, gripping her hand, says in a loud whisper: "Let the press know I'm not a phony."
Does it really matter? Voters appreciate this much effort even if the candidate is faking sincerity.
The church basement is redolent of soup and succotash. People sit at long tables covered by oilcloths. Power strips have been supplied, not for laptops, but for the 18 crockpots in which the soups and stews bubble and simmer. A mild snowstorm (fewer than 5 inches) has been going on outside, but every seat is filled and some people are standing against the walls.
Retail politics like this has been derided. And while it is true that candidates even in retail states like Iowa and New Hampshire will end up reaching more people by TV than in person, the tradition is a powerful one and best not dismissed.
Real retail events are not grip-and-grins, where the candidate stands in a receiving line, spending only a few seconds with each voter. Real retail demands time, and Biden is spending the time.
He walks up and down between the tables. His long white hair is combed straight back. He is wearing a light blue shirt and dark blue tie, a navy blue blazer and gray slacks that break exquisitely over his tasseled black loafers.
Tasseled black loafers? Well, you can take the boy out of Delaware, but …
Actually, even though Biden is the only man in the room wearing a tie, let alone tasseled loafers, it works. Iowans don't want candidates showing up in work shirts and overalls pretending to be one of them. They just want somebody who understands them.
But why all this effort for Iowa? Why are so many candidates coming so early? Because they all fear the race for the nomination is going to be over very quickly and there will be no time to recover if they stumble and fall.
So they all have the same strategy: Win early, win often.
And it all starts here, in places like this, in church basements in Iowa.
I caught up with Biden by phone Monday and he told me a story -- it took him about 4 minutes and 45 seconds -- about how he was campaigning in Delaware as a young man and he met a guy at a gas station who was wearing a John Deere cap and was slouching on a chair around a potbelly stove.
"Why should I vote for you?" the man asked.
"Because I'm just like you," Biden replied.
The man sat up straight. "Boy, if you ain't different than me," he said, "I ain't voting for you!"
Biden and I both laughed.
"I guess I am a street politician," Biden said. "My whole career, whenever I wanted to get a sense of what people were thinking, the only way I trust it is to go out and listen to people. It sounds corny, but it is true."
I mentioned his tasseled loafers, and we both laughed again.
"Iowa is authentic, and they are looking for authenticity," he said. "I don't wear funny hats. But the major thing about Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, is that they want to look you in the eye and poke you."
Poke you?
"What they want to do," Biden said, "is kick the tires before they buy the car."

|What is excess traffic?
|Excess traffic is where your website traffic in Megabytes exceeds the allowance in your particular hosting plan. See Calculate Hosting Needs.If your traffic exceeds the plan limit you have a choice of paying 10c per Mb of excess or $40 per year extra for the next plan.Say on the 9th month of a $59/year plan, your traffic reached 600Mb. You have a choice of paying the excess charge of 100Mb x 10c = $10, or paying $13.33 to upgrade to the next plan for 4 remaining months (including the 9th month).There is no need to pay for a higher website hosting plan until you need it.
|Where is the Linux datacentre?
|One Linux datacentre is in Sydney, one in Brisbane.Each has recently completed a major upgrade of datacentre facilities, including an upgrade to the firewalls and routers, as well as an enhanced bandwidth arrangement and is also a peering partner with PIPE Networks, plus arrangements with Pacific Internet and Soul providing extensive redundancy for all services.
|Where is the Windows datacentre?
|Windows IIS Data Centre is in Brisbane.It provides Redundancy, Reliability, Stability and Performance. Connections to the Internet Backbone are: Primary link: AAPT and Telstra. Secondary link: Webcentral. Peering: Pipe IX. We use a managed dedicated server.
|How do I connect to the MS SQL Database?
|To start your MS SQL Server database, go to the control panel and click "Databases" – then setup a unique name. Then connect to the SQL Server with normal SQL Server tools and build tables, procedures, whatever as per a local server.
|What is the SQL Server database limit size?
|Hosting plan limit covers database, all files and email boxes.
|Am I able to use Enterprise Manager to access the SQL Server database?
|Yes. The usual Microsoft SQL Server tools for populating and managing the database (e.g. Enterprise Manager, Query Analyser, DTS).
|Am I able to have 2 sites running off the one hosting plan? ie www.company1.com & www.company2.com
|Only if one site is in a sub-directory. But you can have several domain names opening one website. You can have sub-domains for separate websites. Platypus Web Hosting is cheap enough to get separate hosting for a second company.
|What are popular utilities in the Linux hosting plans?
|The PHPlist mailing list is very popular with clubs for emailing regular Newsletters to their members. You can import your list of email addresses, paste your HTML newsletter into the source of the email message and just send it to all members.But look through the Free extras.
|Why don't you have Bots to automatically set up domain names and hosting?
|Well, we have bodies instead of bots.
Our main business is designing websites. Hosting and domain names are what we arranged for our website customers, to make it a one stop shop. We are now doing that for everyone. You can't talk to bots, but you can talk to bodies.

City of Vista, CAHome Menu
Community Development Block Grant
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is a program federally funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that provides grants on a formula basis to entitled cities and communities. In 1991, the City of Vista became an entitlement city, which is a city with a population of 50,000 or more that receives CDBG funds directly from the federal government. The purposes of the CDBG program are to ensure that communities have viable resources to provide affordable housing, a suitable living environment, and to expand economic opportunity.
To receive CDBG funds, the City of Vista must develop a Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), and Citizen Participation Plan. These documents outline how the City plans on and has used our CDBG funds.
On August 11, 2015, the City Council adopted the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan, which identifies strategies for providing decent housing, suitable living environments, and expanding economic opportunities for low-income populations. The Annual Action Plan outlines spending and activities for the corresponding program years. The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) evaluates the City's accomplishments and use of CDBG funds. The Citizen Participation Plan specifies the City's policies and procedures for engaging citizens and encouraging them to participate in creating, evaluating, and implementing the CDBG program and Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH).

Each year, the City seeks to maximize the full potential of the CDBG grant by partnering with local organizations. Contracts are awarded every other year to organizations who are successful in the City's RFP selection process. This portion of the website will be updated with the pertinent information at that time. If you would like to be placed on an interest list for the RFP that will be issued in late 2019, please contact the CDBG Program Manager.

text: We were very happy to find this. It was a long search. We needed a replacement for our old one that the head had cracked after 23+ years of being dropped. Very hard to find this style with a plastic handle instead of porcelain, which would not last in our house for two seconds. My only complaint is the rubber ring around the edge is very thin and falls off a lot. Our old one had a much thicker ring and never came off.

Well this is an unexpected turn of events for the World Cup (if you are following this football madness). Yesterday the Boston Globe reported that, due to Brazil's president's unpopularity at the moment, the country has opted for a replacement in awarding the World Cup Trophy to the winning team in July. The President will be replaced by none other than supermodel Gisele Bundchen. "Why," you ask? Well, you aren't the only one asking. People took to twitter to express their confusion over the choice.
If you're involved at all in the fashion world, you'll know that Gisele Bundchen is perhaps the most famous fashion face ever to step foot out of Brazil. Sure, she has dozens of fellow Brazilians taking over the model kingdom around the globe, but she's still the reigning champ. But does that make her a right fit for the honour of awarding the World Cup trophy? We're not quite sure. We can say one thing, however. Whichever team does win the World Cup this year, we think they'll be mighty pleased at the opportunity presented to mingle with one of the most beautiful women in the world.

Her personal history is incredible and at the same time touching: she came to New York in 1988 with her parents at the age of 13. Her parents followed the call of Pope John Paul the II to volunteer as a missionary family and so they left everything behind and we moved from Rome to the South Bronx on a mission of the Catholic Church...

Givaway and New Release: Chill Run by Russell Brooks
In Chill Run by Russell Brooks, we follow the escapades of Eddie Barrow Jr. as his life begins to unravel. A writer, he is on his last bit of hope, his family does not believe in him, and the rejection letters are coming fast and furious. It seems only his best friend Corey, and his girlfriend Jordyn are his only real fans. His life is takes a turn for the worse as his rent comes due and his car begins to act up. If that were not bad enough, he is laid off from his job and his girlfriend leaves him. Life really begins to suck. If he could only get a break, he knows he would do well.
With the input from his friends and in an effort to get publicity in any way he can, he agrees to get caught in a compromising situation with someone of importance. He needs a publicity stunt to get people's attention, look at all the celebrities who made their fortune and fame in such a way. The plan they have in mind is just a bit mind boggling, certainly nothing he thought he would ever consider. Unknown to him Jordyn also has another career, one as a femdom, a dominatrix. She has a friend who is maledom, and can set him up with one of his jobs. He deals with many important and well-known public figures, and he owes her, she is sure she can get him to give up one of his marks for the deal. Then as soon as Eddie is situated and in a compromising situation with this figure, Corey can call in the news. As with any great news worthy story, Eddie will become famous.
When persons unknown murder the mark during their session, Eddie sees everything. Now he is on the run for his life. Blamed for the murder, he and his friend are tagged as the culprits. As other people they know show up dead, they find themselves in the middle of a massive manhunt. They prepare to turn themselves in for their own safety, but even now they are being hunted as killers, who do they trust. Who can they turn to in this deadly game of chase.. Can they survive long enough to clear themselves? Who do they turn to for help?
In Chill Run, Brooks has given us characters rich in charm and full of fun. Their friendship holds them together, and they are willing to help each other regardless of the danger it puts them in. He has done a great job in making the characters real, taking you through their sadness and despair, as well as sharing their humor. There is a solid core of steal built in, and while they poke fun at themselves and enjoy their camaraderie, no one else can mess with them. They are in over their heads, and yet they stick together doing the best they can to find answers. Eddie often uses the character of his own book as a foil, trying to think like him when looking for a way out of their mess.
The humor and the action set the pace for this thriller, yet the characters themselves draw you in. They remind you of people you know through your own friends and family. This realism has a way of putting you into the story, envisioning the scenes as they occur. The lengths to what Eddie is willing to go for publicity almost seem surrealistic, and yet we do see such things in the news and on the internet almost daily. Using the things that occur in life and putting them to paper, Brooks has created events with a touch of pragmatism.
The scenes are set in Canada, and the antics are at once dangerous and thrilling with a dose of humor. Brooks does a great job of describing the scenes as they occur and keeps you on the hook, wondering how it will all work out, or even if it will.
I would recommend this book for the suspense and thriller fan, it is fast paced and full of action. There is humor and danger, and weaved throughout the backdrop is a story of friends that give their all for each other. This would be a great gift for your thriller fan for the holiday.

I was messing around with the Treasure Pro, doing some indoor testing, and I turned on the Beach program. I figured that it would reduce some of the EMI that I was getting in the room, and I was right. What I didn't count on was that when I followed up with an air test, it picked up the coins I was swinging much deeper! I'm not talking a little bit. In the air it was close to 3 inches deeper. I can't believe I haven't noticed this before now, but in the past with other machines I have used the beach mode seemed to decrease depth a bit. The TP did great in the field in the stock coin and jewelry program, but this may be the ticket. I know the DFX always ran with salt subtraction factored in, and it was a great machine. If this depth increase translates to the soil, the TP is going to give some people a serious run for their money. I also noticed a situation similar to the Minelab "clunck" with the TP. If you go beyond the depth of the tone ID, you get a different sound, but the target cursor registers the target just slightly below what it really is. Very interesting. The tone isn't the same, and no VDI number, but the Cursor or arrow is still pointing to a category. Something to look out for in the field for sure. I was going to put this machine away, and get back to the V3i, but now I am compelled to test out the Beach Program some more. The air test was going way out there. much more than you would expect from a unit at this price point

i did some more indoor testing, and the results were not quite as amazing as my initial testing. There must be some variable indoors that was affecting my results. This time it was only an inch or so better, but that is still good in my pinion. Every inch counts, and the EMI reducing effect of the Beach mode does allow for higher sensitivity settings. I never put much faith in indoor test results anyway. Cabin fever is setting in, and I hate to see my detectors sitting idle
Only in ground testing will show me for sure. Maybe a fringe depth coin will give me some more information. The Treasure Pro's depth test is very good anyway. I was pleasantly surprised with how well it did in my field testing. Good luck out there guys!

An agriculturally destructive moth species never before seen in the United States was found in a shipment of Chinese soybeans at the port of Baltimore, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials said Friday.
The insect species, Nemapogon gersimovi, could "pose a significant agriculture threat because they are known to feed on seeds and grains, reducing a farmer's yield," the agency said.
The 50,000-pound shipment of bulk organic soybeans, intended as animal feed, was not allowed into the country and was exported. Entomologists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Thursday confirmed the species of the moth, which was found May 2.
"Keeping this pest out of the nation saves the American agricultural industry from the expense of eradication and the hardship of finding their crops damaged by a new danger," said Andrii Melnyk, acting customs and border protection director at the port, in a statement. "By stopping destructive species at the border, before they can enter the United States for the first time, CBP officers and agriculture specialists protect this vital American industry."
The agency seizes nearly 4,400 prohibited meat, plant and animal products and about 440 pests across the country each day, it said.
The discovery this month was not the first time a foreign pest was found in the Baltimore area.
In March, a slug never before seen in the Washington region and also considered a threat to agriculture was found in a shipment of Mexican mint at Dulles International Airport.
In September, eggs of a destructive foreign moth species, the Asian gypsy moth, were found aboard a ship docked in Baltimore. The ship had made calls in Japan.

Polyurethane caulk is a highly durable caulk that is often used in place of silicone caulk. This sealant is known for its ability to adhere to several types of materials, so it is often recommended for creating seals between two different surfaces. Seals made with this caulk can last decades, but working with the caulk can also present some disadvantages, such as stickiness, stiffness and toxicity. Many people choose to use another caulk for indoor projects, but those who want to do a bit of outdoor caulking can benefit from using polyurethane caulk.
This type of caulk is a versatile sealant, and it can adhere to various types surfaces. The caulk can be used on plastic, glass, concrete, metal or wood. It can be particularly useful on wood, because it can withstand scuffing and other physical stresses well. In addition to its application versatility, some people claim that it has an incomparable stretching ability, which can be beneficial for use with materials that are expected to expand and contract regularly. After it is dry, the caulk can even be painted to help it blend into its surroundings.
Applications of polyurethane caulk can last a relatively long time. Users of it can expect seals to remain functional for 10-20 years. Some people say that polyurethane caulk resembles putty. It's sticky, and many people find using this sealant to be a bit messy. Mineral spirits can be necessary for its tooling.
The disadvantages of using this kind of caulk include its stickiness, its stiffness and its toxicity. Some users have reported difficulty squeezing the caulk from its tube, and some people have resorted to using heat in an effort to ease the caulk out of the tube. The application process can also require the use of protective materials, such as gloves, in order to minimize the chance that the user will harm himself or herself. The caulk is solvent-based, so users might have to use paint thinner for clean-up purposes.
Polyurethane caulk can be the best option for outdoor work, but it might not be the most practical choice for indoor modifications. For many indoor projects, acrylic latex is often considered to be the better choice. Users should be aware that removal of polyurethane caulk can require a lot of work — homeowners might have to sand or cut the caulk off of the surface to which it was adhered. It can be a bit more expensive, but polyurethane caulk can be a sound investment for those who want to use a durable caulk for exterior work on their homes.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Two of Judas (the Zealot) sons, James and Simon, were involved in a revolt and were executed by Tiberius Alexander, the procurator of Iudaea province from 46 to 48 ("Ant." xx. 5, § 2)
Luke 6:15 σιμωνα τον καλουμενον ζηλωτην (Simon the one called zealot)
Matt 10:4 σιμων ο καναναιος (Simon the Canaanite?)
Mark 3:18 σιμωνα τον καναναιον (Simon the Canaanite?)
Acts 1:13 σιμων ο ζηλωτης (Simon the Zealot)
Matt 15:22 γυνη χαναναια (Canaanite woman) same spelling as in the LXX for Canaan. Canaanite/Canaan in Hebrew is כנען / כְּנַעֲנִי
The Hebrew word qanai (קנאי "kana"), meaning The Zealous.
Exodus 20:4 El Kana (אֵל קַנָּא) "jealous god" in English, but might be "zealous god".
Jewish Encyclopedia:
The reign of the Idumean Herod gave the impetus for the organization of the Zealots as a political party. Shemaiah and Abṭalion (Ptollion), as members of the Sanhedrin, at first opposed Herod, but seem to have preferred a passive resignation in the end (Josephus, "Ant." xiv. 9, § 4; xv. 1, § 1; xv. 7, § 10; xv. 10, § 4); though there were those who "could by no torments be forced to call him [Herod] king," and who persisted in opposing his government. Hezekiah and his so-called "band of robbers," who were the first to fall as victims under Herod's bloodthirsty rule ("B. J." i. 10, § 5; "Ant." xiv. 9, §§ 2-3), were by no means common robbers. Josephus, following his sources, bestows the name of "robbers" upon all the ardent patriots who would not endure the reign of the usurper and who fled with their wives and children to the caves and fortresses of Galilee to fight and to die for their conviction and their freedom ("Ant." xiv. 15, §§ 4-6; xv. 8, §§ 3-4; xvii. 10, §§ 5-8; xx. 8, §§ 5-6; "B. J." i. 18, § 1; ii. 13, §§ 2-4; iv. 4, § 3; and elsewhere). All these "robbers" were in reality Zealots.
In other words, the Zealots were a reaction to Herod the Great's murder of the last of the Hasmoneans (Antigonus) and taking the throne from them. Herod was actually a convert to Judaism so many saw him as not being a "real" Jew. This was the impetus for the Zealots.
One of Jesus' disciples being called "Simon the Zealot" might actually have a root in history, since it seems as though the word was transliterated from the Hebrew "kana" to be read phonetically in Greek as kananaios. Bible translators probably translate it as "Canaanite" to cover this up, even though "Canaanite" would be spelled with a Chi, not a Kappa. No other information is given about Simon the Zealot's actions in the gospel narratives, but it's curious that a Simon the Zealot is listed as one of Jesus' disciples and another Simon the Zealot is described by Josephus as being an insurrectionist (or "robber"). The gospel Zealot has no personality, while Josephus' Zealot does.
The two are also contemporaries.
I think it could be argued that these two Simons are one and the same. What a violent insurrectionist was doing in Jesus' party is an enigma… unless the supposed historical Jesus was a violent insurrectionist as well, which would explain his crucifixion.
