Ted Will Date Katy Perry on How I Met Your Mother
The Week of Relevance continues.
The Week of Relevance continues for How I Met Your Mother: First the show had the streets talking with this crazy plot twist, and now they go and land the second biggest currently active pop star alive for a cameo. KP will pop up later this season as Jennifer Morrison's character Zoey's cousin, "a beautiful, naive girl who the gang resorts to calling 'honey,'" and she's a "potential love interest" for Ted. Our take: This makes it sound like Zoey might be the mother, actually, because if they're planning on drawing things out this long before Ted and Zoey get together, the payoff has to be legit. Or Ted will date Perry after he romances and inevitably breaks up with Zoey? Either way: This is stunt casting done right. [HR via ONTD]

IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS. No other guitar shop in Texas pays as much attention to and offers the variety of picks that you can find at GUITAR TEX. The reason is simple: Picks make a very big difference in tone, feel, speed and agility. No one size or shape is ideal for all players, which is why we have so many to choose from. We carry a great variety of picks for all styles of playing. Our selection of finger picks & thumb picks far exceed those of most other stores. Picks make a big difference. Such a little thing can radically change your playing technique for the better. We are the only store in San Antonio to carry hand made picks & we have had countless converts. Players fuss over their tone & technique, sometimes ignoring the smallest detail that can make a huge difference in tone, comfort & speed. Some players are perfectly content with a basic medium gauge celluloid or tortex pick, but others have found that a well made pick, with a good bevel and comfortable shape can have a marked positive effect on playing skills and tone.
Fred Kelly Thumb Picks (Chet Atkins/Tommy Emmanuel stylists love these)
in Polycarbonate and delrin, these Freedom Picks have some of the most natural response and feel of any finger pick! We are the only source in South Texas for these, so come in and give them a try!
Pro Pick Finger Picks. Hand made metal finger picks
Golden Gate Mandolin picks & Thumb picks
Dugain Picks. Hand made in France from organic & synthetic materials. Gypsy Jazz guitarists were the first to take to these wonderful hand made picks. Then the bluegrassers discovered them; then the shredders. Shaped & contoured ergonomically, allowing the player to achieve unexpected speed & clarity. At $16.00-$28.00 they're not cheap, but it seems that no more how you get there great tone comes with some costs.
John Pearse faux tortoise picks come mighty close to real tortoise shell & they are legal*! On the way are another type of faux tortoise & faux coral picks by Papa's Picks. $12.00 each & they are wonderful. Players who have had the opportunity to use genuine tortoise shell picks understand that picks can indeed make a great difference in tone & real tortoise shell is the gold standard. These new synthetics are made from casein, which is a milk by-product & it makes for a pick that is as close to the real thing as you can get without killing something. If your pick doesn't matter to you, these won't be of interest. For those of us whose life-long quest has been the best tone possible, it's understood that the plectrum is just as important as the instrument to acheive that goal. My own keychain/pickholder has a Dugain, V-Pick, Wegen, & a John Pearse. Having the right pick lets me relax & play more effortlessly, as well as increasing my speed.
*real tortoise shell picks come from endangered sea turtles & have been illegal for decades.
Dunlop Ultex, Gator Grip, & Jazz Tone picks
Even our string selection includes products not easily found like FLATWOUND strings for jazz guitar, BLACK NYLON Bass strings, vihuela strings, ukulele strings & much more.
Bottleneck slides hand made by DELTA SLIDERS & by MR. Bs.

- Women to Watch (2009 - Business Journal)
- CIO of the Year (2011 - Business Journal)

I entered CAM in Fall 1989 with a diverse set of interests (a liberal arts background with math and chemistry majors, a premed concentration and four years with a college orchestra). CAM, Cornell and Ithaca provided the perfect place to delve deeply into these passions while exploring new areas and possibilities (from membrane biophysics to operations research, financial markets, polyhedral combinatorics and intramural ice hockey). I found my dissertation topic while working on a summer internship ("A Polyhedral Combinatorics Approach to Airline Crew Scheduling"). The opportunity and encouragement to transition between theory and application has been invaluable throughout my career: airline operations research, IT, 15 years as airline CIO, and now working with newer stage technology companies.
CAM is an amazing place. Take advantage of the opportunities to both explore broadly and delve deeply into interesting areas. Get to know your professors and fellow students. I am forever grateful to my advisor and committee (Les Trotter, David Shmoys, Lou Billera), along with my classmates, officemates, housemates, and teammates who made my years in Ithaca so unforgettable, and who became lifelong friends and colleagues.

Handle lock would stick at first; once it was broken in, there was nothing to complain about. I've had it for over a month now and the edge is still as sharp as when I took it out the box.

Coldwater Conservation School
The NJ School of Conservation in Sussex County will be the host site for an exciting Coldwater Conservation School being offered this year by the NJ DEP Division of Fish and Wildlife and the NJ State Council of Trout Unlimited and its supporting chapters. The School will be held from June 24 - 27 and is open to youths who will be between the ages of 11 and 15 at the time of the program.
The goal of the School is to foster a knowledge and appreciation of trout and the coldwater habitats on which they depend. Trout are a front line indicator of the health of our streams and environment. Understanding all of the elements necessary for healthy streams and good trout habitat helps students realize the importance of stream and water quality protection, and roles they can play in stream conservation.
Division of Fish and Wildlife biologists and instructors from Trout Unlimited will teach sessions where students will learn about stream ecology, fish habitat, fish biology and identification, aquatic insect identification, fly tying, fly-fishing, conservation law enforcement, riparian forests and stream restoration. There will also be evening programs where students will learn about reptiles and New Jerseys black bears.
The cost of the Coldwater Conservation School is only $150.00, which includes food, lodging and equipment for the entire 4 days and 3 nights. Space is limited and the application process is competitive.
Information about the Coldwater Conservation School, including a brochure and the official application, can be found at: www.njfishandwildlife.com/conservation_school.htm. Applications are due no later than April 1, 2010. Students accepted into the School will be notified by the end of April.
Information about Trout Unlimited can be found at: www.njtu.org/ and the NJ School of Conservation at http://csam.montclair.edu/njsoc/.
Questions about the School should be directed to Jessica Griglak at 908-637-4125 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Powerbock.eu is a new portal dealing with associations interested in jumping boots. Our goal is to provide the greatest amount of information and build community with the same interest. Powerbock, is a new revolutionary urban sport, that is constantly branching out for a new jumper and teams around the world.
Author: BigJoey Category: Blog 0x 0x
When I started jumping, I thought that it would be a great to ride on jumping stillts the rails or jump on obstacles and stay on them. Exactly like the skaters or bikers. Long time i was thinking how to do it. . Recently i got an idea. And I think it is really easy.
Basically, I just bought more strength bolts and i prolonged fixation on jumping boots.
On the protruding thread I strung the same charge as the bearings inside the stillts and on the end again nut.
This way you can jump on the wall or ride the rails.
I worried a lot about the springs. It was okay.
This idea i had long time in my mind and finally i realizated. But for testing i did not have enough time. So i will be happy, if there will be someone, who wants to try it and test it. What do you think , is it a good idea?

Mavericks assign Nick Fazekas to D-LeaguePosted by Inside Hoops

The Dallas Mavericks announced today that they have assigned forward Nick Fazekas to the Tulsa 66ers of the NBA Developmental League.
The Mavericks selected Fazekas in the second round of the 2007 NBA Draft with the 34th overall pick. The former Nevada standout has seen action in two games this season and scored his first points as a professional on Nov. 10 at Portland when he finished the game with 2 points and 2 rebounds.
The 66ers will be in action on Nov. 23 when they face off against the Fort Wayne Mad Ants in their regular season opener.

After ABC confirmed next season's all-stars outing of Dancing with the Stars, Tom Bergeron revealed that it will feature past champions, fan favorites and controversial cast members, which kind of took the wind out of sails. Do we really want to see Kate Gosselin again? No. Since season-planning is still in a nascent stage, we want to offer our two cents on how we think the season should be. Here are our five wishes for all-stars:
Who do you want to see on Dancing with the Stars All-Stars?1. No champions
We're all-stars purists and feel that all-stars should be reserved for the best of the rest who didn't win. (If you want champs, do a winners season.) It is far more exciting to see people who didn't win the first time duke it out again than it is to see someone come back for seconds against Mirrorball-less alums. Never mind the fact that winners would be at somewhat of a voting disadvantage because it's inevitable that some fans will support another couple who didn't win. Excluding winners makes for a more even playing and voting field. 2. Keep original pairingsIf it ain't broke, don't fix it. It'd be very tough to do since so many pros have more than one all-stars-worthy celebrity, some pros are dunzo with the show (How you doin', Edyta?) and some new pros' presence is a must for fans (Hey, Tristan!), but we'd prefer that people return with their original partner. From the pros' and stars' standpoint, there's loyalty involved. Chances are a lot of stars, especially those who made it far, probably will not want to return without their original pro, and it would be tough for each to watch the other enjoy more success or win with someone else. As Maksim Chmerkovskiy so eloquently put it: "It's like saying, 'Hey, your marriage didn't work, so let's try you with someone else.' What is the point of that? To prove that Derek [Hough] can win trophies and Maks can't? ... I don't think it's right." But more importantly, it's easy to forget that it's not the stars or the pros who make the show memorable, but the partnerships. Fans still harbor tremendous fondness for certain pairs and see them as one entity, and they would most likely feel cheated if they were split up. Plus, stars are under all-stars consideration because of their work, chemistry and partnership with their original pro, so shouldn't they return with the person who made them an all-star?
Check out the sexiest looks from Season 14 of Dancing with the Stars3. Bring someone back from the first seasonThe first season, understandably, was a totally different animal from the show we know today. It was only six weeks long, there were six contestants, the final featured only two couples, the scoring procedure was different, and there were no extra dances (marathon, team dances, Instant Dances, Dance Duel, etc). (There was that infamous rematch between winner Kelly Monaco and runner-up John O'Hurley, the latter of whom won.) Who doesn't want to see how, say, Joey McIntyre stacks up seven years later in the current rigorous Dancing machine?4. Don't feel obligated to fill a categoryABC's site asking for fan input on the cast has us a wee bit concerned because it's broken down into seven categories — actors/actresses, singers, athletes, reality stars, comedians, models, other (sadly, no "Disney/ABC employee" category) — suggesting that producers want one or two from each. And to that we give two thumbs down. This is not a regular season, so don't try to cover every single base and fill the usual quota if there are not suitable candidates. Which brings us to...5. No controversial people or bad dancersFor the love of sequins and spray tan, just no. We (and poor Tony) survived Kate Gosselin once, so why should we endure her again? That's just sadistic. Controversial figures aren't necessary to build buzz around an all-stars season, which inherently implies that these contestants are, you know, actually good. While people like Gosselin, Bristol Palin, Chaz Bono, Tom DeLay (he has bigger fish to fry anyway), Kim Kardashian, Cloris Leachman and Master P certainly brought other things to the table, dance skills — and dance interest in some cases — were not one of them. Believe it or not, some fans actually do want to see good dancing, good routines and stars who are wholly invested in the process. Bringing back the cream of the crop will almost undoubtedly guarantee that, not to mention force the pros to step it up. That being said, realistically, it's more likely that these contentious hoofers return than people we want to see.What are your wishes for the all-stars season?

Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians!
Sadly, I didn't have time to do a Canada Day mani this year, but you can check out last year's design, which I'm still quite proud of!
Anyways, today's post is a tutorial for my recent neon brush stroke mani, which I've had a few requests for. This is a really simple design that I think can be executed by just about anyone of any nail art skill level. It doesn't require a lot of intricacy or perfection, so it's a perfect design for a beginner!
Also, the colours can be switched out for anything that you prefer, so have fun with it!
To refresh, here's the look I'll be showing you how to achieve:
Keep reading for the step-by-step tutorial!
What you'll need:
I've included the exact brands/names of the polishes I used, but you can use whatever brands/shades you have in your stash.
- Base coat (CND Stickey)
- Top Coat (Seche Vite)
- White creme (Wet 'n' Wild French White)
- Neon blue (China Glaze Ride the Waves)
- Neon yellow (China Glaze Sun-Kissed)
- Neon pink (China Glaze Shocking Pink)
Other tools:
- A striping brush
Step 1:
Apply your base coat.
Step 2:
Paint all of your nails with one coat of your white creme polish. Don't worry about this being too neat since we're going to be covering it up completely - the white just makes a great base for neon colours to pop.
Step 3:
Once the white has dried, paint all of your nails (except for your index and middle nails) with your neon blue polish.
Step 4:
Place a drop of your neon pink polish on a piece of scrap paper (some people like to use aluminum foil instead). Then, get a small amount on your thin striping brush and make a few random swipes on your index and middle finger nails.
Step 5:
Fill in some more of the empty white space with the yellow neon polish and the same type of random shapes. To mix it up a bit, create borders around some of the pink shapes you made in the previous step.
Step 6:
Continue this random pattern with the blue neon polish.
Step 7:
When you've finished with all three colours, you might still be left with some white space. Go back with any of the three colours and fill in that space.
Step 8:
After allowing your design to dry completely, add a layer of your favorite top coat. This will make your new mani last longer, it will smooth out any bumps and ridges that have been created during the process, and it will also give your nails a nice shine.
There you have it! This design is simple, yet eye-catchingly bold!
As always, I hope this tutorial was helpful and I hope some of you will try this design out for yourselves. And I'd love to see pictures if you try it!

Many datasets contain multiple quantitative variables, and the goal of an analysis is often to relate those variables to each other. We previously discussed functions that can accomplish this by showing the joint distribution of two variables. It can be very helpful, though, to use statistical models to estimate a simple relationship between two noisy sets of observations. The functions discussed in this chapter will do so through the common framework of linear regression.
In the spirit of Tukey, the regression plots in seaborn are primarily intended to add a visual guide that helps to emphasize patterns in a dataset during exploratory data analyses. That is to say that seaborn is not itself a package for statistical analysis. To obtain quantitative measures related to the fit of regression models, you should use statsmodels . The goal of seaborn, however, is to make exploring a dataset through visualization quick and easy, as doing so is just as (if not more) important than exploring a dataset through tables of statistics.
Two main functions in seaborn are used to visualize a linear relationship as determined through regression. These functions,
are closely related, and share much of their core functionality. It is important to understand the ways they differ, however, so that you can quickly choose the correct tool for particular job.
In the simplest invocation, both functions draw a scatterplot of two variables,
, and then fit the regression model
and plot the resulting regression line and a 95% confidence interval for that regression:
You should note that the resulting plots are identical, except that the figure shapes are different. We will explain why this is shortly. For now, the other main difference to know about is that
accepts the
variables in a variety of formats including simple numpy arrays, pandas
objects, or as references to variables in a pandas
object passed to
. In contrast,
as a required parameter and the
variables must be specified as strings. This data format is called "long-form" or

data. Other than this input flexibility,

Update 5/12/2016 :Watch Stormpath CTO Les Hazlewood's presentation on REST + JSON API design best practices .Update 5/12/2016
And don't forget,
air jordan backpack ukulele
For developers building REST-based APIs, there is a great deal of misinformation and some understandable confusion about when to use HTTP PUT and when to use HTTP POST. Some say
nike mens 5 inch distance running shorts
. Others that PUT should be used to create and POST to modify one. Neither is quite right.
Often, developers think of each HTTP method as a 1:1 relationship with CRUD operations:
This can be true, with GET and DELETE specifically, but when it comes to which HTTP methods should be associated with create and update, the answer comes down to idempotency.
wmns nike free 50 photosynth
is an important concept in the HTTP specification that states idempotent HTTP requests will result in the same state on the server no matter how many times that same request is executed.
, and
all have this attribute, but
does not.
To help illustrate idempotency, we will use an Account collection (
) and for brevity we will say that each account resource has three properties called
, and
Let's say you submit an update request using the HTTP PUT method. In the body, you set
a value of "John" and
a value of "Smith". Later, you submit another request HTTP PUT request, this time setting
to "Johnny". Is this idempotent? No. Why? Because other requests
have changed the server state of the account resource in between our two requests. For instance, between the two requests,
could have been changed to "blocked." Our example request cannot guarantee that the state of the account on the server is
when it is repeated.
Possible account state after our two requests (due to side effects from other requests):

Don't you think I have sense enough to worry about my motives for saying the prayer? That's exactly what's bothering me so. Just because I'm choosy about what I want - in this case, enlightenment or peace, instead or money or prestige or game or any of those things, doesn't mean I'm not as egotistical and self-seeking as everybody else.

One Direction hunk Niall Horan looks set to break fans' hearts amid rumors he has found love with a British drama student.
The pop star has been linked to 20-year-old Amy Green after they reportedly attended filming of U.K. TV show The X Factor together earlier this month (Oct12).
A source tells British newspaper Sunday Mirror, "Niall was introducing Amy to people as his girlfriend and they were very happy from the look of things. He was kissing and cuddling her when people weren't watching and seemed really into her... It's definitely early days but Amy was on his arm as a girlfriend not just a girl friend."
Horan was previously linked to pop star Demi Lovato, but he insisted the singer is just a friend.

The café, which opened this week, offers 19 breakfast entrees (not counting bagels and egg sandwiches); 15 sandwiches; 10 salads; three quesadillas and a half-dozen different desserts. There's also an espresso program. Open every day but Sunday from 7 a.m.-2:30 p.m., Sunrise Bistro Express is the second restaurant to try making a go of it at 116 Spring St since The Black Bean Company moved out last year.

Toddler dunks herself in bucket of paint while mom nurses baby
While a mom nursed her baby, her toddler grew really, really quiet. And she, as many moms do, knew that something may be amiss.
And amiss it definitely was. Victoria Farmer told ABC7 she was horrified to walk into the next room and see her 2-year-old daughter, Anistyn, covered pretty much neck to toe with white paint — paint was even highlighting much of her delicate blond hair.
More: Outrageously high C-section rate prompts new rules
As Anistyn toddled toward her, she left perfect white footprints along the hardwood floor in their home, which they are getting ready to sell. Farmer and her sister dashed into action and plopped Anistyn into the tub, and while the paint came off the toddler easily, it hasn't been so easy to remove her ghost-like prints from the floor.
Farmer has learned the truth of what many of we moms already know. Silence can be golden, but it can also be deafening when you have a small child. When kids are quiet, it usually means they're busy and engaged in some engrossing activity, but many times they are busy and engaged in some nefarious activity, like dumping out a carton of milk onto the kitchen floor or wiping some undesirable substance on their bedroom walls.
And like Farmer discovered, kids can be super quick. She admitted that while she had been careless and didn't ensure the bucket's lid was secured properly, her little girl was just extremely fast, and of course, children often know when to take advantage of a parent who is busy — in this case, while her mom was nursing her little brother. "I look like an irresponsible parent, but she's just really quick," she told ABC7. "I feel like I should make a book of her insane things."
More: Hero grandpa saves baby from oncoming train
Of course, this story could have had a tragic outcome (for example, if her toddler had decided to go into the bucket headfirst and was unable to pull herself up and out). And I've had a scary experience or two with my own kids — like when my oldest was a toddler, he managed to get his wrists caught up in a set of mini blinds that were in his bedroom. But happily the girl came out unscathed, and her shocked mother had the instinct to snap a photo of the unharmed child before dashing her off to the tub.
But for now, we can enjoy the fact that we're not the ones trying to clean off painted-on footprints in a home we're trying to sell.

We really enjoyed our recent stay in Killarney! The apartment was clean and comfortable, the welcome basket and food in the refrigerator were a nice touch. Everything was as described - the apartment was easy to find, contact with the property management easy, instructions for the apartment and tips helpful. The location was a little bit of a walk to the town center so we opted for cheap taxi rides in and out - we had grandma and our 4 year old with us - but nothing inconvenient :-) A great place to visit and nice accomodations. Really nothing to complain about!
The vacation home was very modern and very nice. The location was perfect. Valerie was a true example of Irish hospitality at its best! She left us a very nice welcome basket in addition to other treats. If you are going to Killarney are plan to tour the ring of Kerry this is an excellent place to stay. I traveled with my wife and 5 kids and this was an excellent place to stay for us.
nous avons loué la maison pour 6 adultes. Celle-ci était suffisamment spacieuse et équipée pour notre séjour. les propriétaires nous avaient préparé un très beau panier d'accueil et il y avait lait et beurre dans le réfrigérateur. la maison est très bien située que ce soit pour des balades à pied ou en voiture. nous bénéficions d'un parking. nous avons tout aimé et conseillons vivement cette location.
Netter Kontakt und Begrüßungspräsentkorb, das Ferienhaus ist komplett ausgestattet. Heizungs und Warmwassersystem ist etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, funktioniert aber.
Nationalpark ist fussläufig gut zu erreichen.

Personal Development
The Unknown
BY: Troy Murphy | September 2016
Found within the thick protective skull is a powerful thinking machine. Our brains—a fabulous tool—analyses and directs life. Unfortunately, this thinking machine also creates unneeded, unwelcomed pain. With the slightest inconvenience or unexpected encounter, we cascade down a thought trail of misery. Sparked by an ordinary occurrence, unhinged thoughts expand, predict and create meanings—often expansions unsubstantiated by relevant facts.
Our analysis goes off course when we demand answers. A simple inquiry about a feeling—why am I feeling blue—may unearth numerous issues, exposing unfavorable circumstances; the circumstances we believe should be better. Perhaps, a similar investigation conducted when we are happy—instead of sad—would discover the same unfavorable circumstances, indicating that it's not the circumstances but some other force behind the sadness. We rarely seek unfavorable conditions when we are happy; why would we? But when we find the unfavorable during sadness motivated meaning searches, we assume the discoveries also to be the causes. We busy ourselves resolving problems that don't necessarily impact happiness. Working for change but failing discourages motivation; we feel helpless to the flood of sadness, further discouraging our system.
The cycle of sadness channels cheerless energy strengthening the weighty winds into a full-blown storm of depression.
I'm not foolish enough to believe that a short article on sadness will rid the world of the debilitating disease. My hope is to illuminate a few of misguided beliefs that lead some off course. The goal is not to escape negative feelings; they have a purpose. We need the biological warning system to avoid painful and dangerous engagements. Emotions imprint experience for recall. Losses imprinted with sadness and grief, encourage healthy future behaviors to avoid similar losses. The wisdom of the passed encourages nurturing important relationships, maintaining healthier lifestyles, and staying relevant in the job market. When no emotional marker accompanies an experience, we forget—were not motivated to change. Seeking a life of non-stop pleasure, ignoring discomforting consequences, undermines this biological guidance system.
Joy is important. Life derives meaning from joy. We are driven to activities that produce joy. But as with all feelings, joy has a natural ebb and flow, dynamically changing, alerting or system to change, and storing connections between behaviors and feelings. Emotion suggests movement—change. Joy fades, sadness arrives. The changes demand attention. Emotions motivate future choices, whether we should pull back or hopefully approach. Constant joy would stupefy this life saving guidance. Discomfort routinely floods sensations during interaction. Biological and experiential programming directs attention to behaviors and circumstances.—wrongs needing correction, dangers to be avoided and opportunities to be pursued. The complex web of possible associations complicates the system. Most choices are not simply right or wrong; but a mixture of benefits and drawbacks. Some pleasures sacrifice tomorrow on the alter of today—which may be perfectly appropriate, but the sacrifices and gains need to be weighed.
The complexity of choice is most salient in human relationships. Relationships require constant balancing of give and take, asserting the self at times, and sacrificing the self at times. Relationships activate emotions—joy and sorrow, peace and anxiety. Our brains solve problems; we anticipate, avoid and plan. In relationships, especially intimate relationships, we are vulnerable to the other person. We can't perfectly predict. We can structure our own life to avoid surprises but when we welcome others into our circle, those predictions become imprecise, subject to other's actions with competing and sometimes conflicting goals.
When confronted with the conflicting interests, fear of rejection, or loss of security, the bells and whistles of discomfort sound, "something is wrong, pay attention!" We focus attention on our partner, blaming them for the discomfort, and demanding that they should change to soothe the disruption. Subtle manipulations invade relationships; but rarely succeed to relieve the anxiety. A partner's failure to change starts a chain of emotional responses—anger, frustration, sadness, and resentment. We frantically go into cognitive overdrive trying to solve the unsolvable. Vulnerability is uncomfortable and intimate relationships demand it. Overtime, trust in self, and trust in a partner mitigates the fear; but complexity remains.
The rejection of negative emotion popular with pop psychology is a disservice. Condemning a person suffering from dysthymia for choosing sadness is ethically wrong. The sufferer must contend, in addition to the inner-turmoil, guilt for suffering. Then the guilt is also condemned as a choice, "Don't feel guilty. Guilt isn't good." I'm baffled. In an era where we recoil at demanding responsibility for horrendous crimes—the Twinkies, affluenza, or childhood neglect made me do it—we do, however, demand responsibility for feelings.
We are not powerless. Emotions slowly can be more appropriately molded when misguided. We invite healing to soothe past hurts. Healing is complex. Hurts are complex. Deep wounds impacting emotions are not simply washed away with magical thinking. Negativity isn't the cause of pain, past experience is. Positive thinking isn't bunk. It can play a significant role in growth; but we must realize that thinking alone isn't the complete answer. Expressing gratitude, acknowledging unnecessary negative thoughts, and focusing on joys are tools worthy of developing.
We should work to constructively address and soothe pains without denying them. Some quickly heal and become a part of our past—adding to wisdom and compassion. Other wounds—especially childhood hurts—aren't so easily cured. Some hurts remain throughout our lives. We may never completely escape the emotional impact of the past but we can compassionately accept that past. With growth, we can become adept at identifying remnants of the past hurts. We skillfully navigate the emotions to mitigate their interference with current important relationships—understanding partners help.
Increasing skills of self-nurturance is essential to address, process, and resolve hurts. Mindful reflection constructively works for improvements. The seemingly random events begin to make sense. Our lives no longer feel as chaotic and vulnerable. Our futures become more connected to our present. Future hopes are not ill defined dreams but an interwoven part of a defined plan. We recognize our intimate part of the complex and unfolding universe. With this growing knowledge, we exercise caution. We can't avoid all the unknowns but manage to avoid obvious dangers, guaranteed to inflict new wounds. The small steps lead towards healthier living, and healthier living invites more growth. The positive cycle of change is born. These small shifts shape futures in new and wondrous ways.

Finally got to try Cajun Pacific for lunch yesterday. They are out on Irving between 46th and 47th - way out there (but only a block off the N Judah) and plenty of street parking.
Got there at 12:15 - and there were only 2 other people having lunch - which isn't a bad thing as they only have 5 or 6 small tables and a few counter seats.
Bet it's a rocking place on a Saturday night!
Had a bowl of crab and sausage gumbo ($3.95) which was very good. Deep dark broth (so they know what they are doing with their roux), lots of thyme and the cajun trinity (onions, green peppers and celery). The sausage was a nice andouille - good spice and there were a few crab pieces (in shell) as well.
Then I had the red beans and rice with andouille ($8.95) - this came with corn bread as well. Very good - again a nice spice level (the kind of spicy that just makes you want to keep eating, rather than too hot you can't eat more). The beans and rice were perfectly done and the andouille had been sliced and grilled first - MMM!
The corn bread was fresh out of the oven, but a little too much in the mix for me (corn, red peppers, cayenne - so instead of a nice mellow compliment to the spicy food, it just added to the spicy).
This was all way too much food for myself but I was really tempted to order more - would like to try the BBQ shrimp and they had an andouille po-boy that sounded good (with an optional egg).
Seems like a nice addition to the neighborhood and definately the best Cajun I've had in the Bay Area so far.

In our ever-connected world, phone chatting has become a staple for a medium of communication that is globally used. The rapid growth of social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn has only strengthened the pervasiveness of chatting – and the result is most usually phone chatting (the most personal level of it). This phenomenon has truly transformed certain aspects of our relationships with others whether it is work, friends, family, and significant others. Nevertheless, every phenomenon has its flaws, but one should be reminded of certain tips to follow to avoid these:
• Set parameters to what is acceptable conversation chatter and what is not.
In a recent survey, 40 percent of divorces were blamed on inappropriate chatting. The blame was nearly equal for both genders, since 55 percent of men and 45 percent of women were found to flirt online that crossed certain limits. Therefore, one should always state when he or she is uncomfortable when chatting with someone if one feels that it would jeopardize a relationship.
• If you are a parent, monitor your child's conversations personally
It is no surprise that the fastest-growing areas for cybercrimes are in chat rooms and directly related to further phone chatting. Most children may not be able to tell whether someone is genuine or fake, which is used by predators since 80 percent of cybercrimes start with chatting. Make sure one's child knows the difference between a real and fake identity and what words or phrases during a chat or conversation may signify that they are chatting with a predator. The point is – it's okay for your child to have friends that he talks on the phone with – regardless of where he met them (on the internet or in real life) the point is that once in a while you should go through their phones and figure out whether something is wrong or not.
Now, the one major rule for chatting without risks is to be careful when handing out your phone number. The point is, this is an online world we live, and it is important to locate the root of the problem and then work our way up. In this case, the selection process begins with finding the appropriate website and the appropriate people to hand out our phone number to. This will ensure that you will not cross the chat-border with the wrong kind of people. How can you avoid this? Here are some more tips:
• If one is chatting with someone for romantic reasons, go to a reliable dating website.
Try to find a free dating website. If it gives the impression of a fraud, then try a dating website that is free but has some paid services. One survey has stated that as many half of all free dating websites are scams, so be careful by consulting the Better Business Bureau (BBB)'s website at http://www.bbb.org to see if any paying websites are scams and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)'s website at http://www.ftc.gov to see if any dating sites are being investigated by the federal government.
• Do not use your e-mail address as your profile ID or nickname if creating an online dating profile. Try to create a new email ID when creating an account on the website.
The Internet is an "information superhighway" full of scammers and frauds. Using one's e-mail address as an ID opens up one to spam attacks and unsolicited e-mails. If one has to use an e-mail address for an ID, create an e-mail address that you will not use for any activities pertaining to school, work, and et cetera.
• Do not use a common password (such as a birthday, bank password, or an e-mail password used for multiple accounts) for your chatting account.
If a hacker notices a certain password used for multiple accounts, he or she will use it for one's other accounts in order to steal valuable information. If one feels that he or she will lose his or her password, then record it and store it in a safe place.

From GG.
Hi-a Laurie! I have been wondering about this for a while now and thought your readers might have some insight. Do companies really use their job boards when they select people? I ask because I have spoken to a few people that said they don't. In fact, one person told me explicitly not to bother with the job posting on their website, as they really only hired from referrals and other more direct sources. So how common a practice is this?
I have had a feeling that all my responses to internal job boards are being sucked into a vast black hole of effort and time. Over the years I can honestly say I have only been contacted by a single company and I have responded to probably more than 100 postings.
On a related note, how else is a candidate supposed to get in touch with the right people?
GG, I know two ways to get hired in this economy. Sleep with someone at the company or ask someone to do you a favor.
I'm not kidding around.
Anyone have any insights on this one?
- Did you put out?
- Did you blackmail someone?
- Did you use a job board?
How were you hired in this murky economy? Admit it — did you do someone a favor and get your job? Did you network like crazy? Did you use Monster.com? Let us know!

Housing the Urban Poor in Twenty-First Century Sub-Saharan Africa: Policy Mismatch and a Way Forward for Ghana
The debate on housing the urban poor has become more sophisticated since Turner's original ideas of self-help and self-building by the poor were introduced in the 1970s. Today, the emphasis in housing the poor is on a pluralistic approach that stresses enabling housing provision for the poor by expanding the range of providers to include government, the private sector, the poor themselves, non-governmental agencies, and cooperatives. Official housing policy in Ghana does not reflect the pluralistic approach that prevails in practitioner and academic circles. Using ethnography, this paper presents the housing experience of a typical poor family in Ghana to determine what the poor build. It highlights the obstacles the poor have to overcome to acquire the housing they want. The ethnography provides a basis upon which the mismatch between the pluralistic approach and Ghana's housing policy can be bridged thus providing a way forward. The paper concludes by emphasizing the importance of the housing industry in poverty alleviation in Ghana.

The Oculus Rift virtual reality head set will be available to customers in early 2016 with pre-order shipments to commence by the end of 2015, the Facebook-owned firm announced.
Targeting gamers, developers and engineers, the device will come equipped with software, which is yet to be specified. Technical details as well as pricing will be disclosed in the following months.
"In the weeks ahead, we'll be revealing the details around hardware, software, input and many of our unannounced made-for-VR games and experiences coming to the Rift," the firm said in a blog post, adding that technical specifications are set to be revealed as early as next week.
"The Oculus Rift builds on the presence, immersion and comfort of the Crescent Bay prototype with an improved tracking system that supports both seated and standing experiences, as well as a highly refined industrial design and updated ergonomics for a more natural fit," the firm said about the hotly anticipated gadget.
Developed around the needs of the gaming community, Oculus Rift raised $2.4m for the development of the headset in its initial Kickstarter campaign. The firm, which states as its official goal the transformation of gaming, film and entertainment consumption and communication, was acquired by Facebook in 2014.
