The day I stopped saying 'hurry up'
The day I stopped saying 'hurry up'
When you're living a distracted life, every minute must be accounted for. You feel like you must be checking something off the list, staring at a screen, or rushing off to the next destination. And no matter how many ways you divide your time and attention, no matter how many duties you try and multi-task, there's never enough time in a day to ever catch up.
That was my life for two frantic years. My thoughts and actions were controlled by electronic notifications, ring tones, and jam-packed agendas. And although every fiber of my inner drill sergeant wanted to be on time to every activity on my overcommitted schedule, I wasn't.
You see, six years ago I was blessed with a laid-back, carefree, stop-and-smell-the roses type of child.
When I needed to be out the door, she was taking her sweet time picking out a purse and a glittery crown.
When I needed to be somewhere five minutes ago, she insisted on buckling her stuffed animal into a car seat.
When I needed to grab a quick lunch at Subway, she'd stop to speak to the elderly woman who looked like her grandma.
When I had thirty minutes to get in a run, she wanted me to stop the stroller and pet every dog we passed.
When I had a full agenda that started at 6 a.m., she asked to crack the eggs and stir them ever so gently.
My carefree child was a gift to my Type A, task-driven nature—but I didn't see it. Oh no, when you live life distracted, you have tunnel vision—only looking ahead to what's next on the agenda. And anything that cannot be checked off the list is a waste of time.
Whenever my child caused me to deviate from my master schedule, I thought to myself, "We don't have time for this." Consequently, the two words I most commonly spoke to my little lover of life were: "Hurry up."
I started my sentences with it. Hurry up, we're gonna be late.
I ended sentences with it. We're going to miss everything if you don't hurry up.
I started my day with it. Hurry up and eat your breakfast. Hurry up and get dressed.
I ended my day with it. Hurry up and brush your teeth. Hurry up and get in bed.
And although the words "hurry up" did little if nothing to increase my child's speed, I said them anyway. Maybe even more than the words, "I love you."
The truth hurts, but the truth heals … and brings me closer to the parent I want to be.
Then one fateful day, things changed. We'd just picked my older daughter up from kindergarten and were getting out of the car. Not going fast enough for her liking, my older daughter said to her little sister, "You are so slow." And when she crossed her arms and let out an exasperated sigh, I saw myself—and it was a gut-wrenching sight.
I was a bully who pushed and pressured and hurried a small child who simply wanted to enjoy life.
My eyes were opened; I saw with clarity the damage my hurried existence was doing to both of my children.
Although my voice trembled, I looked into my small child's eyes and said, "I am so sorry I have been making you hurry. I love that you take your time, and I want to be more like you."
Both my daughters looked equally surprised by my painful admission, but my younger daughter's face held the unmistakable glow of validation and acceptance.
"I promise to be more patient from now on," I said as I hugged my curly-haired child who was now beaming at her mother's newfound promise.
It was pretty easy to banish "hurry up" from my vocabulary. What was not so easy was acquiring the patience to wait on my leisurely child. To help us both, I began giving her a little more time to prepare if we had to go somewhere. And sometimes, even then, we were still late. Those were the times I assured myself that I will be late only for a few years, if that, while she is young.
When my daughter and I took walks or went to the store, I allowed her to set the pace. And when she stopped to admire something, I would push thoughts of my agenda out of my head and simply observe her. I witnessed expressions on her face that I'd never seen before. I studied dimples on her hands and the way her eyes crinkled up when she smiled. I saw the way other people responded to her stopping to take time to talk to them. I saw the way she spotted the interesting bugs and pretty flowers. She was a Noticer, and I quickly learned that The Noticers of the world are rare and beautiful gifts. That's when I finally realized she was a gift to my frenzied soul.
My promise to slow down was made almost three years ago, at the same time I began my journey to let go of daily distraction and grasp what matters in life. Living at a slower pace still takes a concerted effort. But my younger daughter is my living reminder of why I must keep trying. In fact, the other day, she reminded me once again.
The two of us had taken a bike ride to a sno-cone shack while on vacation. After purchasing a cool treat for my daughter, she sat down at a picnic table delightedly admiring the icy tower she held in her hand.
Suddenly a look of worry came across her face. "Do I have to rush, Mama?"
I could have cried. Perhaps the scars of a hurried life don't ever completely disappear, I thought sadly.
As my child looked up at me waiting to know if she could take her time, I knew I had a choice. I could sit there in sorrow thinking about the number of times I rushed my child through life … or I could celebrate the fact that today I'm trying to do thing differently.
I chose to live in today.
"You don't have to rush. Just take your time," I said gently. Her whole face instantly brightened and her shoulders relaxed.
And so we sat side-by-side talking about things that ukulele-playing-6-year-olds talk about. There were even moments when we sat in silence just smiling at each other and admiring the sights and sounds around us.
I thought my child was going to eat the whole darn thing—but when she got to the last bite, she held out a spoonful of ice crystals and sweet juice for me. "I saved the last bite for you, Mama," my daughter said proudly.
As I let the icy goodness quench my thirst, I realized I just got the deal of a lifetime.
I gave my child a little time … and in return, she gave me her last bite and reminded me that things taste sweeter and love comes easier when you stop rushing through life.
Whether it's …
Sno-cone eating
Flower picking
Seatbelt buckling
Egg cracking
Seashell finding
Ladybug watching
Sidewalk strolling
I will not say, "We don't have time for this." Because that is basically saying, "We don't have time to live."
Pausing to delight in the simple joys of everyday life is the only way to truly live.
(Trust me, I learned from the world's leading expert on joyful living.)

Young Adults
HaMidrasha and HeChalutz
Promoting the Pioneering, Nation-building Spirit of Young Israelis
Israel's compulsory military service requires young Israeli women and men to dedicate two or three of their post-high school years, respectively, to serving their nation. Remarkably, a significant number of Israeli high school graduates choose to spend yet another year in a community service and study program, even before they enlist in the IDF. HaMidrasha cultivates and honors this distinctly Israeli culture of youthful altruism, through a variety of pre- and post-army educational programs that build the participants' Jewish identity, promote their commitment to social activism, and fortify the nation through their efforts.
About HeChalutz
HeChalutz movement was established to meet the demands of pre-army leadership program graduates and other civic-minded young adults who are ready to commit their lives to building a stronger and more integrated Israeli society that is connected to its Jewish, Zionistic and pioneering roots. To that end, HeChalutz's mission is to train and support them as they establish dynamic communal communities in the peripheries of Israeli society.

Foods That Stimulate Height Growth
The desire of the people to gain significant height leads them to two methods to be availed for doing so. One of the techniques is the natural one and the other is the artificial or medical method. The former includes doing exercises regularly and taking proper diet to increase height, while the other is concerned with the conduction of surgeries and intake of powerful pills. The main difference between the natural and medical means of increasing height is in terms of the time taken to gain height. Height increasing food does not necessarily signify the intake of the balanced diet. This is because the diet that is required by a particular body for a vital height increase can be different from that of someone else's body.
The natural technique for increasing height does not bring out fast results, while, the medical processes give instant results through surgical process. Exercising regularly ensure that your growth potential would be catalyzed to help you appear taller. The exercises definitely help, but in addition to them, you must also take proper height increasing food so that the elements and nutrients that are lacking could be increased in their content within the body and thereby foster your height gain process with double rate. If you are serious about your height increase, you must follow a diet to increase height chart made on the basis of an analysis on your health condition. Foods That Stimulate Height Growth
As far as this analysis is concerned, it is done on the basis of the calorie requirement of your body. Calorie is defined as the unit to measure energy in the body. The calorie content, however, is adjusted and modified as per the examinations that the doctor or the dietitians make. Several factors influence the making of your diet chart by the dietitian. Some of them include your age, gender, nature of your work, health status, diseases if any, climatic conditions and the availability of the food, etc. Keeping all these factors into consideration, your diet chart gets prepared with the height increasing food to catalyze your growth. After the preparation of the chart of diet to increase height, you must always remain in contact with the doctor and report him the modifications that you experience.
Your regular reporting will show whether the diet chart that he has prepared is effective as your height increasing food. If not, may be he could make some changes within it. To get appropriate content of carbohydrate, it is advised to take wheat, grains cereals, sugar, jaggery, etc. In addition to this, the sufficient amount of fat is a necessity that can be facilitated by intake of butter, sunflower and coconut oils, corn, etc. These are some of the significant diet to increase height. Some specific vitamin contents can also enable your height increase process that include Vitamin A, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin D, E,K, etc.
The exercises and diet to increase height are the techniques that protect the stumpy ones from experiencing a painful and full of side-effects post-surgery phase. Foods That Stimulate Height Growth

Corte from Santa Maria de Jesús #862Posted by admin in CORTES, Santa Maria de Jesús, SOLD
Striking corte/skirt made in the town of Santa Maria de Jesús. The corte is a wrap-around skirt that consists of a cut of cloth usually joined to form a tube into which the woman steps. Excess material is wrapped around the body and folded at the waist in pleats, and tied with a faja (belt).
This corte measures 43″ wide and 50″ long (doubled). This corte has the opening at the sides as shown in the picture of the corte hanging. If the stitching joining the sides of the tube were removed, this fabric would measure approximately 43″ by 100″ laid out flat.
This corte is beautiful with its classic crisp indigo-blue design with white stripes. The accent stitching at the randa, or where the panels join, is hand-guided machine embroidered accents. The fabric is of a medium weight.
Additional photos can be found here.
This corte is in fair used condition, with a few small areas of wear. There are several areas with light spots where it appears that bleach splashed onto the corte along the edge (please see additional photos). Still a very lovely textile!

Canoples Investigations Tackles Space Pirates
BD Bradford resides on Canoples Station in 2364. He's on his last break before graduating high school. The biggest worry on his mind is scoring enough creds to buy the latest vid-game, and making up with his girlfriend, if she'll stop glaring at him. An announcement at breakfast hatches an idea in his ever-active brain – space pirates might be in the vicinity. Visions of creds tumbling around him after he captures the miscreants war with thoughts of what he did to torque off his girlfriend. He catches a glimpse of the villains outside the promenade's viewport, but he beats feet to safety upon hearing one of his sworn enemies having a drama moment.
My life changed on an impossibly ordinary day. No warnings came my way, nothing to indicate that all I believe in is about to change—for the worst.
As I think back on it after all the space dust settled, I wish someone had given me a warning that I was about to embark on the biggest adventure of my life. Then again, I'm BD Bradford, intrepid investigator. No case is too big, no problem too monumental. Nothing would make me change a second of that very exciting day.
Nothing marks this Thursday as extraordinary. Canoples Station orbits Jupiter, and my eyes pop open like they do every other day. The illumination in my quarters changes from artificial moonlight to artificial sunlight at the same time it does every other day. My mom and older brother get ready for work like they always do. Even I get into the act by zapping breakfast while they take their sonic showers. When I take over a kitchen, watch out galaxy. Great teen food is about to erupt.
"What are your plans for today?" Mom pushes the pancakes around her plate.
They look more like asteroids after impact than pancakes. Lesson learned.
Canoples Station is crawling with animals. Illegal ones, to be exact, hungry for new owners. And this is just the beginning. Another horror lurks beneath, one that hits home hard for BD and his friends.
A whole week has passed since the volcano on Io erupted. My crew and I are chillin' on the promenade. Absolutely nothing will disturb us today. Nope. Not a thing that has a chance of interrupting the planned exploration of the latest set of test scores for the pilot's license that will be posted within the hour.
"What do you think?" Terry asks. "Did we pass?"
Cassie snorts. Even though we're now officially a couple, I give her a sideways crooked look. So what if she passed that test the first time without breaking a sweat? We guys have to keep up our reputation of not being able to land with those silly rules in place.
We could have passed the second time, or the third. We didn't have to take the test five times. Really, we could have done a lot better before now.
BD, Cassie, Carl, and Terry are back on the case—only this time it's a case they have to solve fast. Turns out Sally Wild, intrepid reporter, has an agenda and it all has to do with making the C.I. team look bad before the Space Pirates trial. Can BD and crew prove they're not making up stories and beat a clock that's moving fast?
Our jaws are still hanging down near our knees. Me and my crew—Carl, Terry, and Cassie—can't believe what just happened. Sally Wild made us look like fools, and we fell for it. Stupidly, we forgot every piece of advice that Chief Pelham has ever given us; ignored Wade, my older brother, about never giving an enemy an even chance; and stepped right into a trap.
"We'll never live this down." Terry drops his head into his hands. "Everyone will laugh us right off Canoples Station."
He's right and I can't figure out a way to fix the mess that we've gotten into. Even though Chief Pelham promised us that the reporter from Inside Galaxy would never do anything to get her banned from covering the upcoming trial of the space pirates, she has. And she is still on the station. Worse, everyone else believes that she's a poor, abused reporter rather than the Mercury tat she truly is.
"We have to fix this." Cassie works her PocketPad, her answer to taking care of a problem. "I won't let that reject from a Uranus mine make me look like a fool."
That's my girl.
There's a carnival on the station, with all kinds of "legally" cloned animals, more than a few zero-G acrobats, and miniature clowns. BD's ever present suspicious mind latches onto one thing when the advance team for Galactic Carnival arrives to begin preparations for a weeklong visit. The ringmaster looks familiar, but the man swears that he has never been to Canoples Station before. Even worse, children five and under are disappearing. A bit of investigating on BD's part clues him in to the fact this has happened on every station Galactic Carnival has visited so far. He's determined to uncover the true identity of the ringmaster and solve the mystery of the missing children, but at what cost. Is BD willing to lose his lifelong friends to solve this case? Will they prove Jenna Rock, Wade's girlfriend, isn't involved?
The normal sounds of the promenade seem wrong. I have a sensation of impending doom, much like the moments before the space pirates showed up. The desire to leap into action is very strong, so much so that I'm literally leaning forward with my fists clenched at my side.
"Easy," Carl murmurs. "You don't know for sure it's him."
Of course, I know this man we're watching is our quarry. How can I not know that? Not that his appearance is anywhere close to his daughter, who right now is aboard Fomalhaut for a very long stay. Erin Markus did lead Spacers Rule, a galaxy wide ring of splifters, but she wasn't in charge.
Oh, no, she was far from in charge of those thieves. The person with that responsibility has just entered Canoples Station and is talking with none other than our less than ethical governor, but I have no definitive way of proving that.
The team is back with a brand new adventure. Corina Amberchuck is kidnapped by Believers. BD and Carl are injured. Cassie fights panic and Wade is in charge of station security temporarily.
Believers launch constant attacks against Canoples Station. Wade worries he won't be able to protect the residents, especially his soon-to-be wife, Mildred—the former space grunge/rap star, Jenna Rock.
BD faces one of his biggest fears after being hit with a Dazzler. The banned weapon is just one of the devices used by Believers in their quest to take over the Twelve Stations.
Cassie has fears of her own, especially when it comes to her guy. Given the chance to prove her expertise with spacecraft, she produces a shielding device that may assist them in their fight against Believers
Once again Canoples Station is on edge. Can the team protect their home?
I can't believe I'm still stuck in the asteroid belt near Mars, searching for what I now firmly believe is one of my kid brother BD's space ghouls. It's been a month since we rescued the people from Starship Lyre and reunited the families of those who were aboard Mother Ship when she exploded. My team and I are fast running out of supplies to sustain our search and we've all been stuck on this mid-sized ship so long that we're ready to mutiny just for the chance to have a meal that doesn't come out of a packet or a sonic shower that lasts more than forty-five seconds.
"Bradford." Ames glances over his shoulder from his position at the communications board. "Chief Pelham needs to speak to you on a private channel."
"I'll take it in my quarters." I stalk off the command deck.
Mother Ship destroyed. Innumerable losses. A mysterious invitation. Problems at every turn. And the threat of returning violence.
Corina Amberchuck refuses to believe her parents are responsible for the loss of Mother Ship. When no one will help her prove that she's right, she reaches out on a memorized band width, connecting with the infamous BD Bradford for help.
We left Earth long after the evacuation. No one would come ever again to save those left on the severely polluted planet. The original departure had happened so long ago that I had not yet been born, even though Believers tried to make all of us think that it was only a decade earlier.
Eleven years have passed since the day Mother Ship and her escorts escaped Earth. I am now sixteen, ready to step up for my training, but still a year or so exists before I can do that. All that is my responsibility these days is to do the best job possible furnishing sustenance for those who live on the ships, and keep an eye out for Believers.
Those on these ships with me were once Believers. My parents were actually leaders with that group—citizens of Earth who thought the governments were wrong about abandoning the planet, wrong about vaccinations, wrong about everything. Turns out those who stayed behind were the ones that had the wrong idea, and most of us paid a heavy price.
My name is Corina. I am not now nor have I ever been a Believer, even though most on this ship and every other craft in our flotilla think that. Even my parents imagine that I followed the same strictures and edicts that they did.
The adventure begins on an impossibly ordinary day. BD Bradford, intrepid head of Canoples Investigations, has nothing more than fun on his mind. Too bad for him and his crew, Canoples Station has a way of never staying calm for long. Soon, however he and his compatriots—Carl and Cassie Wills, Terry Ashley and occasionally Mick Anglin and Jack Simpson deal with all sorts adventures.
Whether it be tracking down space pirates, tangling with demented cloned animals, setting the record straight about their intentions, unmasking a man stealing children to perform in a circus, or discovering new friends, Canoples Investigations always dives into action without thinking about the consequences.
Life in the galaxy is anything but boring. And all BD wants to do is sit down and wolf down a Gut Buster pizza with his pals.Excerpt
The bell pings eight times in succession. I am away from my learning center and out the door in an instant. Today, my dad promised to take me with him on a very important mission. We're going to hunt for space pirates. Now that I'm eleven, he says I'm ready for some real adventures.
"Yo, BD!" Carl Wills, one of my best buds, yells. "Wait up. Where are you going?"
I stop and bounce from foot to foot. Dad made me promise that I wouldn't breathe a word to anyone about our mission today. Still, I'm pretty sure he didn't mean Carl, his twin, Cassie, and Terry Ashley. The four of us have always done stuff together. We're the well known No Sock Brigade, always sticking our noses into situations no one wants us to know about, and we never wear socks. It's kind of a trademark thing. We're going to be galaxy-famous private space investigators when we're older and anyone who is famous needs a trademark. Right?
BD, Carl, Cassie, Terry, Mick, Jack, Corina, LaTisha, and Kathe dive into another fabulous adventure. The day starts with a girls versus guys SpaceBall game. In another part of the Galaxy, Wade and Mildred are heading home from their honeymoon. Everyone is relaxed and happy with how quiet things have been on the station
An explosion on Sub-1 turns a happy day into one fraught with danger and disaster. Can the team rally and save the station?
This station is so amazing. Even though my friends and I have only been living here for a short time, we're treated as if we've been here forever. No one mentions that we were once part of Believers, for which we are very thankful.
"Sure wish we could be more a part of the team," Kathe says. "It's like they brought us here and we have to pretend like we never took care of those Believers on Starship Lyre."
Kathe, LaTisha, and I have often commented on how the Canoples Investigations team seems to have a lot of adventures without us. Why, just two months ago, when Believers attempted to take over the station, BD, Carl, Cassie, and Terry, along with Jack and Mick, took off to Poseidon to deal with the Believers in charge there. They went nearly to the end of the galaxy, close to Pluto, and had a lot of fun before they came back to save the station.

She has lived in Owen Sound for 12 years.
Gwynne Potter, Vice President/Treasurer
Gwynne is a Partner at Collins Barrow SGB LLP Chartered Professional Accountants firm in Owen Sound. She has a particular interest in and long history with not-for-profit organizations.

The rental market is complex and constantly changing. It's important to do your research before purchasing investment property, but even seasoned independent landlords can benefit from staying on top of current market trends. Trends can help guide you in making decisions such as whether it's a good time to purchase, if you should raise the rent (and by how much), and what time of year to get your advertising game on.
In order to give you a quick overview of the rental market today, we've pulled together a list of the most important landlord statistics in recent years, curated from landlord influencers like Zillow, RentPrep, and RealtyTrac. We also provide some insight as to what factors landlords may be weighing when reviewing renters' applications.
The stats below give you a good idea of national trends, but you should stay on top of local trends as well. Statistics in your city might vary widely from the national averages, and you'll want to be aware of how they are the same or differ so you can make the most informed decisions about your property and renters.
Here are some important landlord statistics you should know:
1. 88% of property managers increased their rental rates over the past year
According to Rent.com's 2015 Property Manager Report, 88% of the property managers they surveyed increased their rental rates over the past year. One of the ways you can make sure you're claiming the fair market value of your rental property is to look around what is currently available for rent. If rents similar to your rental are going up, this means you both can and should consider increasing your own rent price. After all, your own expenses invariably go up each year, from property taxes to your own office rent and employee salaries. In order to ensure that being a landlord is going to be profitable for you, you'll need to keep up with expenses and maintain a positive cash flow.
A 10% annual increase is a good starting place. However, you should check your own cash flow projections, along with the market rate for rent in your area, in order to determine how high to raise the rent. If you raise it too high, you run the risk of extended vacancy periods and that can be an expensive mistake. Last but not least, you should always check your local housing laws to make sure your rent increase is in compliance with legal limits. You'll want to revisit this step during each tenant turnover or lease renewal to be sure you're charging enough rent and raising rent during renewals.
2. 2016 Homeownership rates are at a 50 year low
Zillow reports that today, the homeownership rate is at a 50-year low (in all four major regions), down from all-time highs in 2004. This is largely due to the fact that home values have risen faster than incomes, and are becoming less and less affordable for many renters.
Another factor is that younger Americans are for the most part delaying many life decisions that may precede buying a home, such as marriage or starting a family. They are also more likely than previous generations to have the burden of student loan payments, meaning that it takes longer to save for a down payment. For this reason, along with an appreciation for the flexibility that renting offers, millennials tend to stay in the rental market through their 20s and mid-30s.
While the rates were for slightly higher for those in the 35-to-44 year old age bracket, in general, the low homeownership rates suggest that that income growth is failing to keep pace with growth in housing costs.
With renter households growing at a faster rate than owner households, landlords are at an advantage in the rental market.
3. Every day, there are more than 2,600 new renters
The Rental Protection Agency reports that the increasing growth rate of new renters means about 2,654 individuals are entering the rental market every day. This means that it's a great time to be a landlord. Rentals are flourishing, and the number of new rental households is consistently increasing, leading to some of the strongest numbers in recent decades. As RentPrep points out, with the demand for rentals exceeding the supply, landlords have more applicants to choose from (leading to a higher chance of finding good tenants) and are seeing an increase in profits.
4. There have been 15.3 million foreclosures filed since 2008.
RealtyTrac recently provided some insight on the worst case scenario for a rental property owner--a foreclosure. While the foreclosure rates have improved, more than 15.3 million foreclosures have been filed since 2008, with a spike of over 2.8 million foreclosure starts in 2010.
It's a good reminder for landlords that, even though it currently appears to be a landlord's market, foreclosures are still a very real possibility. As a landlord, how do you prevent the worst from happening? The key takeaway here is to keep an eye on your cash flow. Calculating cash flows incorrectly or setting rent prices too low could mean that you're struggling to make a profit or break even each month. You'll want to be sure to take all your costs into consideration when calculating monthly expenses, including maintenance costs. Even small maintenance jobs can add up over time.
Along with calculating your cash flows correctly, you want to be sure to find the right balance between renting your property in a timely fashion and screening tenants properly. A tenant who doesn't pay is a big risk because the process of evicting them and finding a new tenant is expensive and time-consuming.
TransUnion SmartMove data based on customer experiences found that total eviction-related expenses for property managers averaged $3,500 and can reach as high as $10,000. With the number of renter households on the rise, the odds are in your favor, but you don't want to skip this important step and risk losing your property to foreclosure.
5. Renter households are more than twice as likely to be housing cost burdened as owner households
The government defines households that spend more than 30% of their income on housing costs as cost burdened. If a household spends 50% or more of their pay on housing costs, they are classified as severely cost-burdened households.
According to SmartAsset, housing affordability is especially a problem for households that rent. In fact, Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies found that 27% of renters are severely housing cost burdened, and this number is expected to increase by 11% by 2025. Of course, this varies by location and family size. A single person may be able to swing a higher ratio in rent, while households with several dependents may find the 30% threshold difficult to manage. (Since the federal Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination against familial status, the 30% standard is still the best measure to use.)
SmartAsset reports that cities in coastal towns have the highest proportion of residents spending 50% or more of their income on housing costs. Cities in the Midwest and West tended to have less severely housing cost burdened households. In some big cities, where the rent has become unaffordable, renters are moving farther out in order to find places to rent that are less expensive.
For landlords in suburban areas (especially those with access to good transportation), this is good news. They may be in an even better position to keep units full. However, in general, the high number of rental households that are cost burdened is a nationwide concern.
With so many people going over the recommended 3:1 income-to-rent ratio, it's more critical than ever for landlords to find tenants that will prioritize their rent. How can you determine this? A credit check is one of the best ways to find out if an applicant is willing and able to pay his or her rent. Their past payment history is a good indicator of their future behavior, so a credit report gives you an idea of how responsible they are with their money and how likely they are to pay their rent on time.
6. 56% of landlords strongly or somewhat agree that no matter how much they like an applicant, if their credit check is bad they won't rent to them.
According to a 2016 SmartMove User Survey, most landlords agree that how an applicant has dealt with credit in the past is a key factor in deciding whether they get approved as a tenant. While occasionally an applicant will have poor credit due to a rough patch, a credit report is a good indicator of the way they handle their finances in general. Perfect credit isn't necessary, but past bankruptcies, collections for unpaid rent, and tenant judgements can all indicate potential problems in the future.
Conducting credit checks on prospective tenants is clearly a highly influential factor for most landlords when deciding whether to lease to a prospective tenant.
Given that it currently appears to be a landlord's market, most landlords are capable of finding new tenants without much trouble. The key to success, then, is taking advantage of this leverage to find well-qualified tenants who will pay their rent on time and treat the property with respect, and doing your best to keep them in your rental for the longest amount of time possible.
A thorough screening process is the best way to predict a favorable tenant outcome. TransUnion SmartMove is an easy, reliable online tenant screening solution designed to give independent landlords the results they want in a matter of minutes. SmartMove also provides ResidentScores, which help you score potential tenants with more precision than a traditional credit score.
By looking at SmartMove's ResidentScore, a credit-based score tailored for the rental housing industry, in combination with a full SmartMove tenant screening package, you can get an in-depth look at an applicant's background. TransUnion studies show that the end result is a higher quality tenant with an average increased tenure of nine months.Sources

OMG THIS IS MY FIRST BOOK TAG I'M SO EXCITED. Also, I stole it from Ellie @Capitol Books, so THANKS FOR THAT. To be fair, she DID say that if you WANT to be tagged, it basically means you are tagged. So stealing? I think not. ANYWAYS AND ONWARDS. We all know I am obsessed with books. Well, to be precise, fantasy books. The further away from the world that is #reality, the better, thank you very much. (HA I just almost wrote berry in place of very and IT WASN'T EVEN ON PURPOSE).
HERE WE GO. Now, I did SHORTEN the list a bit (mostly because I'm lazy) but if you want the whole thing then head over to Capitol Books and check out Ellie's post!
This one is a tough question, mostly because I have been using odds and ends for bookmarks for MY ENTIRE LIFE. So, the weirdest that pops to mind right now is probably bubble wrap. YES, BUBBLE WRAP. I am a loud reader, OKAY?(Get it???)
I might sound snobby with this but NO. Well, it depends. I won't buy it used unless I've held it in my hands. IT HAS TO BE PRETTY, AFTER ALL.
I feel like this question isn't really fair to either. UM if I only read trilogies, I would never have met the gloriousness that is Harry Potter, or Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom (HELLO duology!). If I only read series I would never have read the Inkheart series! So basically for me, it's if it looks good and sounds good NOTHING WILL STOP ME!
Hardbacks are SOOOO PRETTY. So pretty. But let's face it: I'm poor and paperbacks are just affordable. BUY LESS BOOKS SO YOU CAN AFFORD THE HARDBACKS YOU SAY? Pshawwww. Well, I do have a goal of buying hardbacks when I can. And I am trying but…..booooooks.
UM 7987932749230928% fictional worlds. I NEED SPACE FROM ALL THAT IS REAL. And I don't want to read about real life in a book which I am reading to escape real life?? That doesn't make sense. So give me forests that swallow people whole and unicorns that can talk, and I'll be happy.
I am THE laziest person you will EVER meet. If you could see me right now lying in bed with my kitty in one arm and my travel mug in the other, you would probably look very disgusted. I DO NOT LIKE GOING PLACES. It takes time. Time that I could be using to READ obviously. So I'll stick with online shopping. Plus, I get carried away with all the bookish items that neither I NOR MY WALLET need at bookstores. Also there's the small problem that all the bookstores in my area have mostly only books in German so….#awkward.
I JUST FINISHED A Darker Shade of Magic, like, an hour ago! AND OMG. Review to come. DO READ IT THOUGH.
Only ALWAYS. How am I supposed to #bookstagram with an ugly cover? Covers I will only grudgingly accept if the book is good: Covers that look hastily thrown together, hobo-y, have unnecessary things on the front such as stickers, writing, and other such nonsense. If I am extremely skeptical about the book itself AND the cover is horrendous, then NO PLEASE GET IT AWAY FROM ME. It probably would have broken my camera anyways.
Oh I'm SO GLAD you asked. UM Villains obviously. I love them. I love to write about them. I love everything about them. DON'T GET ME WRONG. Heroes are good too. But if the book is about a villain doing all the wrong things for all the right reason MY HEART MELTS AND IT RUINS ME. And then I come back for more. MORE PLEASE. (AHEM KAZ).
Well, that's it, my beauties. I do hope you enjoyed getting a look into my insanely too full head, and do come back next time. DON'T FORGET TO steal this tag if you so please, for it pleaseth me, the Queen of all things fantasy.
By all means, STEAL THIS TAG, and then tell me about how much you loved mine or yours or if you thought it was stupid. Also please do link yours on here! I would love to read them!! 😀

International Jet Aviation Makes Wishes Come True
International Jet Aviation, a charter company based out of Centennial, CO, has teamed up with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to make the wishes of some special kids come true.
From time to time when one of their Learjets needs a new paint job, International Jet Aviation paints over the old colors to transform the aircraft into the most colorful aircraft in the world! The rainbow Learjet is then christened the "Dream Chaser" and flown to different cities to promote the great work of Make-A-Wish and salute the many volunteers of this great organization.
While in each city, the "Dream Chaser" takes some Make-A-Wish children on a scenic flight in the skies over their town. The flight serves to give these special kids a lift and brighten their day with their own magic carpet ride in a private jet painted just for them!
International Jet Aviation, which recently celebrated their 34th anniversary, started doing these Make-A-Wish flights in 1990 with their first "Dream Chaser" aircraft. Since then, there have been three other aircraft that have brought a smile to many Make-A-Wish kids and their families in the United States.
"This is a chance for our employees to give back something to the community", said Lynn Krogh, CEO of International Jet. "It is really worthwhile to know we have brought some extra fun and excitement to the kids of Make-A-Wish", Krogh said. "The organization has done so much good in the more than three decades since they started and they continue to make wishes come true for special children."
The aircraft being used this time (named "Dream Chaser 4") is an 8 passenger Learjet model 35 that can fly at speeds over 500 miles per hour at altitudes up to 41,000 feet. It is normally based in Centennial, Colorado, and is chartered by individuals and corporations throughout North America. It will be in the special rainbow paint scheme for only 10 days due to the large cost operation, after which it will be repainted into a more conventional white with thin color stripes.

text: Microsoft SharePoint 2010: Building Solutions for SharePoint 2010 Posted on 12/13/2009 @ 5:20 PM in #Books Authored by Sahil Malik | Feedback | 3036 views About time I finally introduced my next big project. I have undertaken to solo-author Apress's flagship SharePoint 2010 book. Being a solo-author is generally a ton of work. However in my opinion if the entire book comes from a single author it generally tends to flow together better. In my book I intend to tell a story. A story I wish every productive SharePoint team member knew. I purposely didn't say development or ITPro or designer. To a large extent there is an overlap within these roles, and these boundaries have purely been created as a matter of convenience because there's simply too much for one person to learn. Thus my book is intended for someone who knows ASP.NET and wishes to learn SharePoint 2010. Yet another reason that me to convinced to write this book, was that there will be plenty of SharePoint 2010 material available, but none in a form that has a personality or as a pleasure to read. And frankly none that is close to the practical side of things about what works and what really doesn't work. In my trainings and talks and in this upcoming book you will see plenty of practical side of things that you won't find on MSDN. Finally SharePoint 2010 is a huge topic. There is no way in the world that I would be able to fit it in a single book. Nobody can. However my intent for this book isn't to be feature complete and describe every single detail of SharePoint 2010. My intent in this book is to equip you get enough knowledge to be practically productive on day one, and give you enough tools that you can go dig for more information when you needed. I will of course supplant this book with a number of blog posts as we go along. I take authoring seriously, which is perhaps why I don't do much of it except my blog. My previous book Pro ADO.NET 2.0, was very well received. People still read it even though we are in .NET 4.0. I have since reviewed books, authored magazine articles and co-authored chapters in books for MSPress. Even though I'm proud of my co-authored chapters, they simply do not compare to the quality of the solo work. They just cannot. I would also like to introduce to reviewer of the book, Robert Garrett. Robert and I have known each other for a long time, we have worked together, and I respect his thoroughness and technical skills. I'm lucky to have him as a reviewer, as he's one of the few people who have had hands on experience to SharePoint 2010. I've asked him to be extremely critical of my work. Writing a solo book is a ton of work, and I intend to do a good job at it. Presenting, Microsoft SharePoint 2010: Building Solutions for SharePoint 2010.

Man who married in helicopter among 6 held for robberySeptember 26th, 2008 - 10:34 pm ICT by IANS
Noida, Sep 26 (IANS) A man who solemnised his marriage in a helicopter was among six held in Noida for highway robberies. All six, in their early 20s, come from affluent backgrounds, the police said Friday. All six are also highly educated, the police said.
The police arrested Vineet, 24, Sonu, 20, Sandy, 20, Satish, 25, Brijesh, 22, and Anuj, 22, from near the Sector 93 flyovers in Noida while they were attempting to loot another person.
"These men - all belonging to upper middle class families - took to looting and snatching activities to lead lavish lifestyles. They were involved in as many as seven loot cases," S.K.S. Pratap, station officer Noida Phase-II police station said.
In fact, their habit of leading affluent lifestyles can be judged from the fact that Vineet had solemnised his marriage in a helicopter in 2005. He had taken his marriage procession in a helicopter to his bride's place in the Greater Noida area.
The modus opernadi of the gang was simple. They used to hit vehicles on the road, and then get into an altercation with the car's owner. They would then snatch the car at gunpoint and flee from the spot.
In some cases, these men even held the car owners captive for a while and would steal their credit cards to fund shopping excursions, and withdraw money from the ATMs with their debit cards. They would then release the car owners once their purpose was served.
Vineet, a resident of Salarpur in Noida is pursuing his final year BBA from Global Institute of Management in Greater Noida.
Another accused Anuj stays in Bhangel and is doing his final year B.Tech from a private engineering college in Greater Noida. Sonu and Sandy hail from Bihar.
The police have recovered a Skoda Octavia and two Maruti WagonR cars from their possession.
The police also recovered about Rs.150,000 worth of gold jewellery, seven mobiles, an LCD Plasma TV, a fridge, a washing machine, a laptop, watches and a 7.1 megapixel digital camera.
"Vineet was carrying a factory made pistol when we apprehended them. Six country-made pistols have been seized from Sonu, Sandy and Satish. A knife has also been found with Anuj," the station officer said.
Of the seven cases in which the youths were said to be involved, four people have approached the police and confirmed that the stolen goods were theirs. "While one person is presently in Hong Kong, another is currently in Bangalore. We have also called others to come and identify their goods," Pratap said.
The six have been booked under various sections of the IPC.

Is it worth knowing how your website is being used? I ponder that question a lot. Not that I don't believe that websites need to be monitored and that the usage of the website needs to be a primary concern of the website owner, but because I see so many website owners completely ignoring how their website is being used in favor of just doing what they feel is important.

Mountaineering Training
Over the past 18 months, I have been heavily focused on smarter ways to train the physical body to climb mountains of all sizes. The reason? I live in the low lands and love the high lands. This love began from dreams as a child and culminated as a young twenty something in the Beartooths of Montana. Luckily, I now have a job that keeps me in the Rockies on a fairly regularly basis, but I ran into a small problem. So often I would fly into cities of high elevation, then I would have to "acclimatize" just to enjoy a day there. The original plan was to simply do more cardio and train cross fit style which worked great because I had the time. Now that my first child has joined my daily routine, I had to find a way to continue my same activities in less time. Luckily, I had most of the tools I needed through my educational background. Using this knowledge, a hypothesis of preparation had to be designed first. Utilizing Howard Loomis's system of determining any digestive inadequacies, I was able to eliminate the large majority of any internal stresses on the chemical side. In addition, I was able to exploit to some degree how well my body recycled red blood cells. My theory was that this would greatly increase my ability to manage a decrease in oxygen consumption. The other side to the process involved utilizing Muscle Activation Techniques as a way to determine any mechanical inadequacies. This powerful tool enabled me to reduce any physical stress I may have encountered during normal climbing movements. With a few other added tools, the August Mount Rainier climb was a huge success. There were a few minor hiccups prior to the climb that were quickly addressed and resolved. Since this particular climb, my main focus has been to working through some small details that I found could become troublesome on longer and higher climbs.
These details will be further discussed in future blogs. The final plan will hopefully be fully complete by this fall (2012).
