Then pasted, and changed the port to 25 instead of 80

Then I restarted my firewall (service iptables restart) and booyah! Shiz iz workin.

The report was done by the Iowa Institute for Community Alliances found there were 23,808 homeless people in the state and 15,351 people classified as “at risk” to become homeless during 2009.

Apparently there are 23,808 homeless people in Iowa. My idea? Setup more homeless shelters. Or setup some more campgrounds and offer everybody a free tent. If they had some bathrooms, showers, maybe it could help people get on their feet. Except in the winter time… I don’t think camping would work that great. Good luck to those people and I hope the numbers decrease next year. Throw in a free suit and tie and maybe that’ll help them with job interviews.

When it comes to decorating a patio, old rules no longer apply. Patios used to be just a place where you place a couple of chairs, a table, a table lamp and some potted plants. But times have changed and so have the rules on patio living today. Today, the patio can be transformed into just about anything…including a family room, a star-gazing section for families or couples, a reading place, a garden, a green house…anything you want!

With the growing interest in developing and designing patios into more than what they used to be, the variety of furniture for patios have also evolved and grown into a whole industry by itself. The growth of the patio furniture industry is further encouraged by the fact that many more Americans spend time lazing around on their specifically designed patios. In fact, some people consider their patios their secret sanctuary. Linda Gravel says that she designed her patio to be almost completely soundproof and with little windows opening out so that the air from outside can seep in. Gravel uses her patio for Yoga and Tai-Chi practices. In the meantime, Geoffrey Alberton designed his patio to accommodate his love for the outdoors and traveling. “This is where I place all the plants in the house, pictures of my traveling expeditions. In fact, I place ornaments and special souvenir items from all around the world in my special patio”, he says with a sheepish smile.

For people like Alberton and Gravel, the patio of the home has been turned into their own private sanctuary where they can relax and be themselves.

In fact, it makes perfect sense to make full use of the backyard for things that we enjoy and love doing. Some people turn their patios into swimming pools or gyms. Stargazers can also turn their patios into a place where they can lounge around with their eyes glued to the telescope. The trend of having personal patios is a direct result of deepening interests in cocooning. Cocooning is a trend that affects most Americans today and it is starting to spread too, to other parts of the world. This is phenomenon where people are starting to create their own personal patio space for themselves and prefer to lead a more casual lifestyle. Young adults prefer to stay home on their private little patios doing something they love and the aging population is starting to create and design patios to suit their restful lifestyles.

Health conscious individuals either turn their patios into mini gyms or health spas. For example, you can design and decorate your patio in such a way that it inspires deep meditation or a place for dance. Garden-lovers can turn their patios into a field of greens. It’s all about what you like as an individual. For those with families, they can use the patio as a family area where board games are played or a place where all the family members get together to listen to some peaceful music or simply laze around.

In fact, with a little bit of focus and imagination, you can literally turn your patio into ANYTHING you want!

I’m unsure of the fine though. According to the lacrossetribune you’re going to get bitch slapped with a $30 fine. Watch out! But wowt.com reports “In Iowa, the first year will result in a warning, followed next year by a $100 fine.”

If using the cell phone and texting is causing deaths, then why not follow Nebraska with their more strict enforcement of this law ”

In Nebraska, there is no grace period. First offense drivers face a $200 fine, second offense $300 and third offense a $500 fine. Three points are also taken off a driver’s license in Nebraska.

And wear a seat belt.

To edit a file in SSH you’ll run this command
# vi /path/to/file/whatever.sh

First… you must learn there are 2 different modes.

Insert mode and Command mode

hit escape to enter command mode.
from command mode… these are the keys to go into insert mode
i => will make you start inputing at the cursor
a => will make you start inputing after the cursor
o => will open up a new line below the current line your cursor is
on,and move the cursor there.

when in insert mode, hit the escape key to enter command mode again
basic command mode commands
:w => save the file
:wq => save the file and quit
:q! => quit w/o saving

/textstring => searches for the textstring in the file ( hit n to find
next instance and N to find previous )

simple copy and paste
yy => yanks single line ( aka copy line into buffer)
p => will paste buffer onto the line below where the cursor is.

to get fancy, you can prepend yy with the number of lines you want to
copy ex .

5yy  => will yank 5 lines from where the cursor is and below in the buffer
p => will paste those 5 lines

dd => cuts single line ( aka cuts line into buffer )

Detailed Problem: After I reinstalled Windows 7 and installed the latest iTunes (version 9.2.0.61) I started getting this error  no matter what internet connection I was using. iTunes would update apps, update my podcast subscriptions, but always just hang there saying it’s loading the iTunes store but eventually fail every time. So I did some searching on the net and here’s the solution that worked for me.

Solution:

1. If you have any custom settings in the preferences, take note of these first because they’ll be gone after you follow these instructions. In iTunes you click Edit then click Preferences. (I changed some settings before such as where I store my library. )
2. Close / Exit iTunes
3. Find the iTunesPrefs.xml file. You can search your computer to find this, or navigate your way to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes but most likely your AppData folder is hidden, but you can get there by clicking My Computer, C (Local Disk), Users, then your User Name, then in the address bar just click the text area after your username, and type at the end \AppData and hit enter. Then navigate to \Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
4. You should see iTunesPrefs.xml in that folder (C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes) so either rename it to iTunesPrefs.xml.backup or you can delete it if you want. I choose to rename the file in case I need to restore to the original one for some reason later on (like if I didn’t write down all of my settings correctly from step 1).
5. Launch iTunes, follow the setup instructions from iTunes.
6. Make sure to go into the preferences (Edit > Preferences) and change your settings back to anything custom you had before. For example, I don’t keep my iTunes library in the default location so I had to change the location again because iTunes reset the Preferences to the default settings.

If you have any problems with your iTunes skipping while listening to music, I had this issue back in the day and here’s the solution to that: My iTunes Skipping Problem

Maybe you’re buying your first home in Iowa, or perhaps you’re relocating to Iowa from another state. Either way, it’s important that you educate yourself on Iowa home loans before shopping for a home and mortgage. This article explains what you’ll need to know before buying a home in Iowa:

The median home value in the state of Iowa is $82,500. Current interest rates in Iowa are above the national average, and job growth rates are below the national average.

In the state of Iowa, purchase transactions on sub-prime loans are subject to a $30,000 minimum. Additionally, if you live in Iowa and file bankruptcy, you do not necessarily have to forfeit your home. If you have been current on your payments and continue to be, state law does not require you to surrender your home.

If you’re buying a home in southern Iowa, you qualify for state FHA loans through the Southern Iowa Home Ownership Program. First-time home buyers qualify for loans with below-market interest rates and down payment assistance. Borrowers must meet certain income requirements and specific guidelines, and must purchase a home in a southern Iowa county: Appanoose, Davis, Jefferson, Keokuk, Lucas, Mahaska, Monroe, Van Buren Wapello, or Wayne.

These loans are revolving, so there are only a specific number that can be given out at any period of time. When a person with a FHA loan through this program sells their home or refinances it, then their loan is made available to another qualified applicant.

The rules of the game are simple. If you get all six Iowa Power Ball numbers correct, you win the jackpot. This is a really big deal, considering that it has been more than six hundred million dollars in the past! Jackpots can get so large because Power ball lottery game tickets are sold in twenty-seven different states, making it the largest multi-state lottery in the country. The Iowa Powerball lottery jackpot builds from one drawing to the next, and if there is no winner of a drawing, the jackpot amount rolls over. This means that a single winner could win more money from the Iowa Power Ball lottery than he or she could ever imagine.

Even if you do not win the big grand prize, there are still quite a few smaller prizes that are awarded for having less than the needed six numbers. For instance, if you match all five of the one to fifty-five numbers but do not match the Power Ball, you will still win two hundred thousand dollars from the Iowa Powerball lottery.

You can find the Iowa Power Ball lottery result on the official Iowa Powerball website or on powerball.com. You can also watch the drawings live on television on a variety of local Iowa television stations. Powerball drawings take place on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10:59 in the evening.

The Iowa lottery offers more games than powerball. Hot Lotto is a game with better odds than the powerball. You pick 5 numbers from 1 through 36 and pick numbers from 1 to 19 for the hot ball. This game can be played in several Midwestern states and New Hampshire and Washington D.C. Iowa also has the Pic 3 game where you can win $3,000.00 or the Pic 4 game where you may win $100,000.00 You may view results online, on television, or in newspapers. The Iowa Lottery has a website with clear easy instructions and offers many games most with better odds than powerball.

Overall, recent studies suggest that coffee (regular and decaffeinated) may offer a variety of health benefits against diseases such as cancer and diabetes. However, coffee may not deserve a place in the same category with other healthful foods like vegetables, fruits and whole grains.

Laboratory studies suggest that the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant compounds in coffee could help reduce risk of cancer. Coffee also has a tendency to speed the passage of waste through the digestive tract. Potentially, this may lessen the time that cancer-causing compounds spend in contact with the intestinal tract, which could reduce the risk of colon cancer. Population studies, however, tend to split between coffee intake having no effect on or reducing risk of breast and colon cancer.

Diabetes Prevention

The case for coffee’s ability to protect against diabetes is strengthened by several recent studies. In the Iowa Women’s Health Study, more than 28,000 women were followed for 11 years. The women who drank four or more cups of coffee daily were about 20 percent less likely to develop diabetes. That became a 30 to 40 percent drop among those who drank decaf coffee.

A study in Finland linked consumption of three to six cups of coffee per day with a 25 percent lower risk of diabetes. In both studies, benefits were seen after adjusting for other diabetes risks, such as weight, diet, and activity level. Several studies now link moderate coffee consumption with lower risk of Type 2 diabetes. Researchers are working to understand the potential advantage of decaf versus regular coffee and how weight control is involved.

Potential increased risk of high blood pressure and heart disease has been one of the long-standing concerns about coffee. Recent studies confirm that caffeine can raise blood pressure, but this effect is observed with soft drinks, not coffee. Laboratory studies suggest that perhaps coffee’s healthful compounds can counterbalance the blood-pressure raising effects of caffeine.

In the Iowa Women’s Health Study noted above, four to five cups of coffee a day were linked with a 19 percent lower risk of heart-related death. Other studies have found no effect of coffee consumption on heart disease risk. But people should follow their doctor’s advice.

Coffee does warrant some cautions, however. Both regular and decaf coffee relax the muscle that keeps stomach acids from rising into the throat, so those with heartburn or reflux disease (GERD) are encouraged to avoid or strictly limit coffee. People with trouble sleeping should limit or avoid caffeinated coffee.

Studies now suggest it is unnecessary for pregnant women to completely avoid caffeinated coffee. Until the impact of caffeine is more clearly understood, however, many experts suggest that pregnant women limit their daily caffeine from coffee, soft drinks and other sources to about 300 mg, the equivalent of three cups of regular coffee.

It’s exciting that something as simple as drinking coffee might help lower our risk of cancer, diabetes and heart disease. However, while brewed coffee (not instant) is a concentrated source of antioxidants, it can’t be a substitute for berries, legumes, nuts, and other fruits and vegetables that provide antioxidants along with a wide range of vitamins, protective compounds and dietary fiber.
