The nasal septum is made of cartilage and bone. It divides the nose into two separate chambers. A deviated septum is a septum that has shifted away from the midline. This may block airflow or drainage of the sinuses. It is estimated that 80% of people have a deviated septum, although many do not realize it.
The most common symptom from a deviated septum is difficulty breathing through the nose. The symptoms are usually worse on one side, and in some cases, drainage of the sinuses is blocked. This can lead to repeated sinus infections. A deviated septum may be present at birth, caused by an injury, or result from damage from previous medical treatments.
Septoplasty is surgery to correct a deviated septum. The procedure is done entirely through the nostrils. During the procedure, badly deviated portions of the septum may be removed entirely or they may be readjusted and reinserted into the nose.
In addition to correcting a deviated nasal septum, this procedure may also be done to correct other problems such as cleft defects that affect the nose and nasal cavity, or an abnormal opening between the sinuses.
Septoplasty is most often done through the nose with no incisions on the outside. Endoscopic septoplasty uses lighted telescopes to assist in this procedure. This surgery is most often done along with sinus surgery. In some cases, it may be done with a rhinoplasty to correct the external nose cosmetically and functionally. When an open septoplasty and rhinoplasty are done, small scars will be made at the base of the nose, but these scars are not typically noticeable.
Typically, septoplasty is reserved for children age 14 and above. Having the procedure earlier than this may affect midface growth. The surgeon will provide guidelines for resuming normal activities. Many children are up and around within a few days and able to return to school in a week or so.
Children vary greatly in their anatomy and healing ability, and the outcome is never completely predictable. Complications may occur, including, but not limited to, the following:
Buildup of blood and swelling in the septum (septal hematoma)
A hole or crack in the septum (septal perforation)
Numbness of the front teeth
Change in sense of smell
Cerebrospinal fluid leak
Reaction to the anesthesia
The following short-term side effects may occur. If symptoms do not subside, consult your child's physician.
Face will feel puffy
Nose may ache
Dull headache
Swelling around the eyes
Bruising around the eyes
Small amount of bleeding in first few days
Small burst blood vessels may appear as tiny red spots on the skin's surface

The Gearagh gets its name from "An Gaoire", the wooden river. It is the remains of the only ancient post glacial alluvial forest in Western Europe. In 1987 the area was declared a statutory nature reserve. The islands, for the most part, are covered by the waters of the Lee Hydro-electrical scheme. However, during dry periods numerous rare species of plants can be encountered e.g. mud worth, which is only found in one other location outside the Gearagh. This area is also of interest to bird watchers with both summer and winter migrants. From October onwards migratory birds arrive in large flocks. The Gearagh is a haven of peace and tranquillity and provides ideal opportunities for off road walking. It is located in Macroom, County Cork.

Case in point: bad hires.
A manager hires a new _____ (insert position here) and after a short time becomes acutely aware that for one reason or another, the new hire just won't work out. Terminated. However, instead of critically and strategically analyzing what went wrong, the manager lays blame at the feet of the employee saying things like, 'I took them at their word…' and 'I gave them the benefit of the doubt…' or some other such deflective nonsense then uses that experience as the underlying emotional justification for not '…trusting people until they've earned it…'
The real problem is that they allowed themselves to circumvent (if they used one at all) any serious process for attracting, interviewing, checking, hiring, training, Coaching, etc…to ensure a more successful outcome for both the business and the employee.
Then when they experience failure, they respond emotionally instead of critically looking at their process and deciding where they had gone wrong and make the necessary strategic or tactical adjustments.
Also, unable to accept blame and correct their thinking and their process, they double down by using emotional resolutions to justify future behavior: 'I'll never let that happen again. I'll stand over their shoulder and watch their every move if I have to!'
This also manifests itself in how the manager deals with other existing employees: 'I'll be damned if I let anyone else pull the wool over my eyes!' Then they go out and raise expectations for every employee, usually without communicating this to them or adding the necessary tools for the employee to reach them.
Successful managers use (and stick to) a smart, behavioral development process for their people which is critically important for ALL positions – from dish washer to Director of Operations. Fine tuning it is just as important (maybe more so) after every opportunity.
Can you guarantee that you will never make another bad hire? No.
Can you mitigate the churn caused by a bad hiring process? Yes. And in an industry with historically high turnover in both the employee and management ranks, it's both strategically and economically important for creating the proper culture in which to build long-term success.

API Overpayments & Prepayments
See the latest comments on this below
Currently payments can only be submitted against an invoice - but if a customer over pays then there's no way to record this except with a credit note. Instead payments should be able to be created independently of invoices
The BankTransactions endpoint now supports creating overpayments and prepayments – see http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/banktransactions/#title7
Note – The ability to allocate an over/payment to an invoice will be supported in a future release. This request will be kept open until this task is finished.
The Invoices endpoint will also be improved in a future release to make it easier to identify when an over/prepayment is applied to an invoice.
If you can now do what you need with over/prepayments, consider moving your vote(s) to another request.

Really need to be able to allocate overpayments to invoices.
This is a massive shortcoming and limiting us in recommended your system to our e-commerce customers.
- in the API and .NET wrapper please.

Lorelle commented
Could you please update the status of this issue?
The comment thread seems to begin a very long time ago and as yet it is still to be completed?
So is there a way to see prepayments that exist from the api?
Andy Hunt commented
Any update on when it will be possible to allocate overpayments to invoices via the API?
Matthew Steeples commented
Can we also have the ability to mark them as reconciled through the API too
desperately need the feature of allocating pre-payments..... in the .net wrapper library would be a huge help also
Many thanks
Brendan Saunders commented
Any idea of when we will be able to allocate a prepayment to an invoice?
Martin commented
Thanks let us know when this will be implemented - don't know how this is not enabled.
What if a customer wants to settle bulk invoices with one payment?
John Macey commented
This functionality is definitely required. Occassionally it is necessary to post an overpayment made by an account customer. Pre payments are part of the hospitality industry for functions and accommodation.
Can we do payment for a customer who does not have an invoice yet?
And once the invoice is created, apply the above payment to this invoice.
Is this possible from the API?
We want a comment from Xero on what is holding this up, as this was suggested by xero admin in the first place!!
Second that..
James hayes commented
Any movement on this ? Becoming a bug issue for our client !
Jayd Lawrence commented
Also, when adding an invoice, you could use Prepayment tags and specify invoice_id of the prepayment item, and the amount of credit to use from that prepayment, or an option to use all available prepayment credit up to the amount of the current invoice.
Jayd Lawrence commented
We really need Prepayments to work using the API.
We are looking at other Accounting Software solutions, just because of this feature.
As far as how the API might work.
You can make it work exactly like the Payments just with a contact id field.
The invoice number passed would be the one used for the new prepayment entry, the contact would be the one applied to and then the other fields that are in payments.
Mike Rickson commented
We really need this ability too as we run a similar setup to Aaron Geiser.
At the very least could the Overpayment appear in the same way that Payments and Credit Notes appear when GETing an invoice. At least then we have some way of knowing that the Overpayment exists.
Aaron Geiser commented
This one is becoming very important to me. I am currently accepting prepayments from my clients and this is the only part of the API that is missing from my current workflow.
I am using WHMCS as a billing engine and synchronizing invoices, payments, and credits via a custom script. I want to be able to flag an invoice as a pre-payment and use the Xero API to automatically apply the invoice payment as such and disregard the actual invoice in WHMCS.
Right now I have to manually void the prepayment invoice and then go in and manually record a prepayment - then reconcile the bank statement against the prepayment. It's pretty cumbersome.
Rob commented
Any further progress on this?
Currently all of the invoice generation is done our side, which we then push to Xero. This is because we have dynamic renewal dates added at the bottom of the line items, that Xero did not support when we were first setup.
We would like to be able to download overpayments that are assigned to invoices, so that we can add these to regular payments and show our staff and customers whether an invoice is paid, partly paid or due in full.
I hope there is some movement on this soon as we raised queries back in October '12.
I have two scenarios that require this:
1. Customers usually pay me through my bank's cash deposit machines. Since the machine doesn't accept all denominations, they often overpay and receive a refund at the time of delivery.
2. I get multiple orders for the same customer. They make one deposit rather than two. The way I would get that into Xero is to apply the whole amount to the first invoice, and then manually allocate the remainder to the second invoice.

THE head of Fitch Ratings' Asia-Pacific sovereign debt unit cautioned it's "not inconceivable" that Chinese banks' bad debt ratio may reach 30 percent, which would in turn be "negative" for China's sovereign rating.
A 30-percent sour loan ratio for Chinese lenders would "likely be negative" for China's sovereign rating, Andrew Colquhoun, head of Fitch's Asia-Pacific sovereign group, warned at a conference call yesterday.
The ratings agency downgraded China's long-term local currency outlook to negative from stable and affirmed the rating at AA- on Tuesday.
A negative outlook means that Fitch may cut its ratings on China in the medium term. Still, "AA-" is a high investment grade sovereign rating with expectations of a very low default risk.
Fitch's warning is the loudest among the three major global ratings agencies as it was concerned over a possible rise in bad loans in China. Fitch's outlook cut on China is in contrast to sovereign ratings upgrades by Moody's and Standard & Poor's last year.
Fitch quoted a rapid credit growth, hidden sources of credit and the overall huge size of the banking sector as the main reasons to wave the red flag.
Banks in China lent a record 18 trillion yuan (US$2.8 trillion) in credit in 2009 and 2010, triggering concerns that bad loans could rebound.
Fitch said yesterday China's new official loans may top 8 trillion yuan this year, alongside an off-balance sheet credit of 2 trillion yuan to 3 trillion yuan.
The official non-performing loan ratio of Chinese banks dropped to 1.2 percent at the end of 2010 from 24 percent in 2002.
Fitch said "a more conservative classification" of loans to local government's financing vehicles would already have taken the NPL ratio closer to 6 percent, exhausting the banks' own loss-absorption capacity. – Shanghai Daily

It was a most unlikely place for renowned golf course architect Tom Doak to follow up his Oregon masterpiece Pacific Dunes: a flat cotton field in Lubbock, Texas. And yet, on the high plains of the West Texas panhandle, where the sky is big and blue, the wind is unabated and the land is dry and flat, Doak created the Rawls Course for Texas Tech University, immediately one of the finest university courses in the country.
Tom Doak had been preparing his entire life for the opportunity to design Pacific Dunes in Bandon Oregon. He may not have been as well a known name as Jones or Fazio in 2001, his credentials were unsurpassed. Upon completing the now world-famous Pacific Dunes, Tom Doak and his team from Renaissance Design knew it was just a matter of time until a buzz would spread. It was just a matter of time, they undoubtedly believed, until potential clients came calling. And yet, in the spring of 2001, with Pac Dunes only months away from opening to the public, Doak was faced without any immediate projects. At this time, he was contacted by Jerry Rawls at the suggestion of Rawls' friend Mark Parsinen, himself an accomplished golf developer. Lubbock may have been a great contrast from the sandy, seaside location in Oregon, Doak was intrigued by the project for several reasons. First, he had always wanted to design a course for a university. Doak had once competed for the job to design a course for Oklahoma State but lost out to Tom Fazio, an architect who was a much more well known at the time. Second, since Pacific Dunes was built on such a perfect plot of land, with rolling dunes on 100-foot bluffs above the Pacific Ocean, Doak suspected that critics would disminish the design credit he and his team thought they deserved. Taking on a project in a cotton field would not only be a total creative challenge, he could prove his team's design prowess once and for all. Finally, Doak was attracted to Jerry Rawls' sincere expectation that he wanted to create the finest collegiate golf facility in the country. Doak and his team had their work cut out for them when they broke ground at the end of 2001. The course sits on a 268 acre tract on the northwest edge of the campus. Formerly an agricultural research field, it was listed as having only 18 inches of elevation from one end of the property to the other. Though Doak relished the challenge of taking on a project with such a blank pallet, and was able to implement his sophisticated design standards, he once said elevation was the soul of great golf courses. Fortunately, he was able to let his ideas on design, shaped by having seen nearly every great course in the world--more than 1,000 in all--serve as the beginning on his creativity. The Renaissance crew made a few revisions to account for the prevailing directions of wind and afternoon sun.
Course Description
Renaissance Golf Design, Inc. March, 2003 The design of the Red Raider course is probably the most complicated weve done to date. Starting with a flat cotton field, we had to create an entire landscape from scratch, and then build our golf holes around it. We tried to mimic the land east and south of Lubbock, where the great plain suddenly starts falling into the valleys and canyons that lead to the Caprock region. Several feet of fill material was excavated from the center of the property and placed along the boundaries, with the tops of the berms built so that it would appear this was the original grade and the golf course had eroded down into the ground from there. The contours within the fairways and even the rugged bunkers are also supposed to mimic natural erosion. Once the contouring of the ground was completed, the course was heavily landscaped to break up the 230 acres of golf into several smaller visual spaces, with occasional long views across the property (such as from the third tee to the clubhouse). The final effect is that of an oasis at the edge of campus, secluded from the surrounding developed areas. While the original topography made no suggestions for what kind of golf holes we would build, the strong prevailing winds had a lot to do with the final design. Fairway bunkers jut prominently into the line of play, forcing players to judge whether they can make the carry in the wind conditions of the moment. Wide fairways give the player a chance to drive to one side, and use a quartering wind to help stop an approach shot instead of sweeping it away. Downwind approach shots will likely run quite far after they land, so players must place their tee shot to play around any hazards at the front of the green, instead of having to carry them. The varying winds mean that the length of tee shots will vary from day to day, and ensure that the course plays differently from one day to the next. We were given the task of creating a golf course that would test the best collegiate players in the country, and at the same time provide an enjoyable social venue for the entire university community. Were pretty sure its tough enough to pass the first test, and we hope you enjoy the setting no matter your final tally.
Tom Doak's Philosophies
"Every great golf architect has taken the time to study the great links of the British Isles, upon which the game evolved. Thanks to a scholarship from Cornell University, I got to live on the links--caddying at St. Andrews the summer after my graduation, then spending the next seven months playing and studying every course of note. In that year abroad, I discovered a challenging, natural outdoor sport played by all ages, on exciting courses which had cost nothing to build and which were affordable for all to play. "When I returned to America, I scarcely recognized the game. Nearly all the new courses being built at that time were promoted as Scottish-style layouts, but few were natural or affordable. Ever since, Ive felt a responsibility to build courses which reflect the ideals of the game as the Scots still play it. "My ideas on design are shaped by having seen nearly every great course in the world--more than 1,000 in all. It still fascinates me how different good courses can be from one another."--Tom Doak, courtesy of www.renaissancegolf.com
Description by Jim Urbina
Though Tom Doak spent a significant amount of time in Lubbock, his head shaper, Jim Urbina, spent more time on the job site than anyone from Renaissance Design. "The idea and challenge at Texas Tech was to create something out of a dead flat piece of ground. Tom allowed all of us to route how we would envision the course taking shape and then once he settled on a routing, he asked us all to pick some of our favorite holes that we have enjoyed playing to influence grading map development. Our intention is never ever to duplicate a golf hole, but only to take characteristics that make some of our favorites exciting. No one can duplicate the great stuff and I dont think they should try. But Tom allowing all of us at Renaissance to talk about our influences and see where they might fit into the demands of the routing is good. "Once Tom decided what he liked, he and Don Placek did a 2-foot grading map of the job. Considering we are recognized as a design firm who practices the minimalist philosophy and isnt known for working from plans, it turned out really good. TTU is not a minimalist design. It actually goes the other way. Over a million yards of dirt moved is quite a change from a design like Pacific Dunes. "A lot of people think that this sort of thing isnt something we can do and I think that they forget that we come from lineage in this business where moving lots of dirt and being creative about it was normal. Tom and I both spent years working for Pete Dye, and no one moves more earth than he does. I think once people see and play Texas Tech, they are going to think of Tom and Renaissance very differently."
The Facility
The remainder of the project is no less impressive. The driving range, spanning 55 acres, is one of the largest in the anywhere in the country. It includes teeing areas on three sides, and a special hitting bay facility for the golf team. In addition there is a special short game practice area with three greens, five bunkers, and shots up to 150 yards also designed by Tom Doak and his team from Renaissance Design. The three greens are different grasses--Bent, Champions Bermuda, and TifEagle--in order to provide the golf teams with experience on the various types of greens they will encounter in tournaments. The hitting bays for the golf team are equipped with the latest digital cameras and computers, with the Digital V1 Coaching System software used by Butch Harmon and David Leadbetter.
Jerry Rawls
When Texas Tech University publicly acknowledged their wish to build a golf course for the campus, Jerry Rawls was immediately interested in lending his support. A proud alumnus, Rawls graduated with a BS in Mechanical Engineering in 1967 where he was also a varsity member of the basketball team. But it wasnt until he went to Purdue University for a Masters in Business Administration from the Krannert School of Management that he became interested in golf. Purdue had two golf courses on campus, and because of its close proximity, he started playing golf with his classmates and some professors. Rawls realized their immeasurable value. The school, alums, golf program, and the city benefited from them. They helped in the recruitment of athletes, students, and faculty. There could host golf events for alums and donors during football weekends. It was especially beneficial that the course was on campus and easily accessible. "We didnt know what we were missing at Texas Tech."

Amanda Zimmerman, also known by her stage name, Viviane Sweets, says performance troupe The Beautiful Freakshow was born out of a need to do performances not usually seen in Fort Wayne.
Mission accomplished.
Known to perform acrobatics and glass walking, members decide what they want to do and practice together until it's performance-ready. Their eccentric acts will headline Fifth Freedom's fundraising event and silent auction Sunday.
There are fundraising events in town all the time, Zimmerman says. I think this makes it a little more special than the run-of-the-mill fundraiser.
With Fifth Freedom continuing to grow its services for disabled communities statewide, the third annual fundraiser raises the stakes with hula hoopers, dancers, an LED light show and Zimmerman's bed-of-nails performance.
Comedic magician Doug Schmidt will also be part of the event's entertainment, offering audiences his predictions of the future.
Zimmerman says she spent the summer working on equally distributing her body weight across the plane of nails her husband built for her.
You can research what you want to do, but you have to do it at some point, she says. It's kind of trial and error.
This will be the second year the Beautiful Freakshow will be a part of the fundraiser. Zimmerman says the troupe has a number of rotating performers, which can range from six to 12 members at any time.
The group has garnered a following on social media and at local events like the Buskerfest downtown.
Betty Beck, assistant director for Fifth Freedom, says she was fascinated with the Beautiful Freakshow the first time she saw them perform.
There are so many fundraising events in town that you can begin to run out of ideas that someone would want to come out to see, she says. This is like a carnival-like variety show. Their makeup is freaky, and their performers come in all sizes and shapes.
Fifth Freedom Network works with communities across the state to foster reasonable accommodations for disabled people; they also help disabled individuals regain their independence by educating them on their rights.
Although Beck says the organization has a presence in all 92 Indiana counties, Fifth Freedom only receives funding from contributions, fundraising activities and grants.
Even though we are a statewide nonprofit, we still have a very small staff. And we are operating on the same budget we've had for several years, even though we have quadrupled in size, Beck says. We're always looking for a way to raise some more money.
Last fall, the organization launched a disability employment website, JobDoozy ( www.jobdoozy.org), which sends out email alerts to more than 17,000 members regarding services for people with disabilities and veterans.
Beck says the website is beginning to pick up traffic from employers who are actively looking to diversify their workforce and want to learn more about the tax incentives available for business owners.
Beck says that often what's missing in the dialogue between the disabled community and city officials and business owners is a mediator.
We have a vision of a community where everyone is included. We all have the same wants and needs, she says. As our community ages, we're all going to have a disability one day – you may need a cane or your hearing is less acute. Often times, accommodation is often much simpler than people realize.

Thanksgiving is coming up, and you may want to prepare to spend a little more money, because the cost of that big meal will be a bit higher this year.
The American Farm Bureau estimates a meal with turkey and all the trimmings will cost about 13 percent more this Thanksgiving compared to last year. The bureau says the average cost to make a meal for ten people will be $49.20.
Costs for nearly all the trimmings, from cranberries to pumpkin pie, are up, but the main course has been hit with the biggest price hike. A 16 pound turkey will cost about four-percent more than last year, at an average price of $21.57.

Looking toward Balotelli for inspiration, controversial artist Chris Brown had his Lamborghini Aventador painted in a black, grey and red camouflage pattern to match his Nike Air Foamposite Camo sneakers. Taking around four weeks to complete and costing about $15,000, the newly-painted Lambo is just one of Brown's many and while it could certainly be worse, we can't help but feel a bit embarrassed for the powerful Italian sports car.

Coffee Shops in Pasadena
Zona Rosa is hands down my favorite coffee shop in Pasadena. I just absolutely love the vibe of the place. However, I'm lookin for something new. Anybody got any recommendations for some great coffee shops with a very relaxed enviroment?
I like Zeli Coffee Bar, attached to Vroman's Bookstore, but the inside can feel cramped. The small patio in front can be nice. It's just around the corner from Zona Rosa, on Colorado, near the corner of El Molino Ave. :)
Zeli Coffee Bar
695 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91101
I like Zephyr on Colorado (just east of Sierra Madre Blvd). It's in a craftsman bungalow and you can hang out and play cards or read on the couches.
Cafe Culture
1359 N. Altadena Dr.
1006 Mission St.
South Pasadena
I like Metropolitan Coffee and Tea. They are right across from VROMAN's next to US Bank. They have free wifi, good tasty coffee and ice blends. Lots of comfy couches and plenty of tables for studying or gossiping with friends. Their tea selection is great too. The only thing I don't like much is their pastry. The few times I've had some, they have been stale or just tasted really old. It's family owned and the children run it as far as I know. The daughter is super nice, but the son can be an ahole at times. They also sell sandwiches that are HUGE, but too pricy. I'd rather go down the block across from Target for some food.
ditto on BUSTERS. also NICOLE'S (more of a market/deli) is pulling good coffee as is KALDI, both on el centro.
BEAN TOWN in sierra madre has a good vibe and is recently serving beans from KLATCH ROASTING, one of the best roasters in SoCal.
all have better coffee than ZONA ROSA and a good vibe.
re: revets2
Is Kaldi the one that's right on a corner? The one with no signage? Or at least I never could see a sign as I drive by.
re: slacker
Kaldi is the one on the corner right by the library.
Busters is the one right by the train tracks if i remember right.
Both good. I really like beantown too a) cuz its closer to me in arcadia and b) cuz they serve fossilmans ( busters does too if i remember right)
Jones Coffee Roasters at 537 S Raymond Ave is awesome. In addition to having the best coffee in Pasadena and possibly in L.A., it is a completely unique experience inside: the big roasters and grinders are all in the same, warehousey space as the counter, tables, and chairs. It feels like you are in someone's very eccentric loft, or possibly in a lounge in a coffee factory, or maybe just in an incredibly cool coffee shop in Pasadena.
If voting on the ten-odd selections listed, i've been to almost all except cafe culture in altadena. kaldi's the fave even though they didn't have any good food.
-- kaldi for late hours, proximity to cool things, and cool staff (i was here most often)
-- bean town in sierra madre for laidback family atmosphere, coffee and fosselman's ice cream!
-- jones coffee roasters for coffee, its a cool roasting facility and really nice people, but didn't know they were open late or not.
That was the benefit of zona rosa, the late hours. zeli would close by nine or so, equator wouldn't but it usually meant paying for parking. zephyr has the nicest patio, but i never fell in love with it. buster's just felt cramped and upstairs it was easy to smell the cleaning chemicals from the bathroom. it's a great location during the day, just not a coffeehouse for nighttime.
oh geez, forgot my favorite coffee and bakery is euro pane. But it's closed early, so its not technically a coffeehouse hangout. But the food is the best in the city -- and arguably the best bakery in the Eastside of LA.
Anybody know of late night coffee bars/shops? There used to be a place in Pasadena called The E Bar which was open past midnight, but it closed and I haven't found any places like that since. Any suggestions could be either in Pasadena or the surrounding cities (Glendale, Burbank, Studio City, Van Nuys, etc).
re: mrshankly
Considering this is Pasadena/SGV, you won't find too many late late night options. iBrowse Coffee & Internet in Alhambra is open until 1am every night (disclosure: I am a partner there.) Zona Rosa in Pasadena and Antigua Coffee in El Sereno are supposed to be open till 1am on Fridays and Saturdays, but I have tried to go to Antigua twice on the weekends only to find them closed.
re: mrshankly
We hung out at iBrowse a lot, but if you don't mind driving to Monterey Park there's places open till 3AM.
Regent Cafe
1411 S. Garfield Ave., Alhambra
They are open until 1 AM Sun - Thu and until 3 AM on Fridays and Saturdays.
It's a Hong Kong style coffeeshop, so you can get coffee-tea mixes and various Chinese drinks. And Garden Cafe is more of late nite Chinese food, but it's also open late. I have a feeling there's stuff in Ktown, but I can't remember any, some of the locals might have suggestions?
re: StephP
I wouldn't really call Regent Cafe a "coffeeshop", at least not in the sense that we are using it in this thread. They are more of a restaurant, along the lines of JJ's, but more casual than Bacalli.
re: stochasticgirl
i'd agree with that assessment. but when i lived in the area, sometimes if i was studying late, i didn't care if it was a coffeeshop or a restaurant, as long as it was open later than 1am, people studying and hanging out, hot drinks, and wasn't Dennys.
Should I be surprised that no one has mentioned the Equator?
It used to be the kind of place I went out of my way to frequent -- and I've never lived anywhere near Pasadena. But since they remodeled, the last few times I've been there its was almost deserted -- almost as if someone had sucked the life out of the place. I'm sorry to say I think it might not be there much longer ...
... but I'm going to link for old times' sake.

re: maxzook
I tried Buster's in South Pasadena today. I had the Mexican coffee, which was okay, and a toasted whole wheat bagel (with oats on it), plus a side of hummus. My eyes lit up when I saw the great selection of Fosselman's ice cream there, but I didn't get any ice cream today. The bagel was very good. I really liked the location-- it's right by the train tracks in South Pas. :)
re: katkoupai
Its a pretty kool area. Nice to walk around with all these interesting shops (I wouldn't buy anything from them but they're fun to look in imo). Next time try heading a block south to El Centro and you can scope out Kaldi as well. I dunno why but i've always gone here instead of Busters, might just be a force of habit from growing up around there. they have a good selection of drink and I've always gotten great service from the Baristas.
You can also chill for a bit at the Fair Oaks Pharmacy. Its a nice change if you're looking for a place to chill and talk and/or study mid day and don't wan't coffee. they have an old school soda fountain which is always a nice thing to enjoy.. Only knock is it closes early ( think 8 weekdays and weekends except 6 on sundays)
But I agree with you. When i do make it to busters its really hard to stay away from that fossilmans.
Zephyr is by far my favorite. Great relaxing atmosphere, excellent drinks and food, reasonable prices. If they had Wi-Fi (which you can poach from their neighbors sometimes), I would consider moving in.
I support the recommendations for Zephyr and Bean Town. I went to Zona Rosa the other day and quite enjoyed it. Just a quick question though-do the stairs lead to more seating or is it like an employees only area? There's a fairly new coffee place that opened up in Sierra Madre, very close to Bean Town called Steamers. The decor and the atmosphere is nice and relaxed, but their coffee isn't the greatest.
re: crystaw
The stairs at Zona Rosa lead to the upstairs seating area. Be careful, though, as I have slipped down those very narrow steps.
Ah, my favorite topic. I confess I'm not a drinker of regular coffee; I prefer mine drowned in milk and sugar or whatever. But I do like to hang out in coffeehouses.
Zeli - I think it's too small for lounging, but near Vroman's and around the corner from Zona Rosa. Chairs are mostly metal and this place is usually too packed for hanging out on weekends.
Bean Town - Sierra Madre, sorry. My favorite, lots of pastries and food (sandwiches, soups), Fosselman's ice cream, comfy sofas and big wooden tables good for laptops. If you will hang out a while and might want lunch without having to leave your spot, it can be worth the extra drive. Good people watching both indoors and out.
Buster's, South Pas - sometimes it makes me feel claustrophic (tiny tables, low ceilings). Has food and ice cream options. Closes earlier than it used to. In an interesting neighborhood.
Kaldi's, South Pas - I would like it more if the comfy seats didn't seem kinda dirty. Great people watching here too, especially if you want to sit outside with the smokers and dog walkers by the park.
Jones Coffee Roasters, Pas- not really a place people hang out, though it is clear they're adding more seating to encourage that. Constant coffee roasting machine noise and smell could be distracting, but they know a lot about coffee. In a small office park, not a picturesque neighborhood.
Zephyr - Spread through many rooms of an old Craftsman house. Tons of comfy seating and tables. Good if you prefer quiet, because you can often have a whole room to yourself. Not good if you want people watching, also not good if you're having a lively conversation with a friend because it's so quiet, everyone can hear. They have pastries, sandwiches, and crepes. Immediate neighborhood isn't good for strolling.
Panera Bread in Pas - free WiFi and has a cozy fireplace, but the coffee is bad! blech!
Le Pain Quotidien in Old Town - Pastries are good but pricey. And the coffee drinks are also good but sooo expensive. Like $6 for a latte.
Metropolitan Coffee & Tea - I heard the atmosphere was very corporate. Haven't tried the coffee.
Steamers, Sierra Madre - I haven't been inside but I like that they have the walk-up window so you can still have your yummy drink when you have your dog with you. Looks like they have Wifi and it's a pretty large room with lots of seating. Always see lots of people hanging out inside.
re: CookieEater
Great list. I like Zeli the best, but I agree that it is too small.
Metropolitan Coffee has a great space, but I do not like the beverages as much. I did not like the pastries there very much either. Both times I tried them, they seemed old and store-bought.
I recently tried Allure in Pasadena on Colorado Blvd. The space is very nice, and they have a full food menu. The breakfast sandwich was very good. They also have hookahs.

Weather Overview for Paxos
Paxos benefits from a mild
Mediterranean climate with long, hot summers that are usually slightly cooler
than in the rest of
Spring on Paxos lasts from March till mid-May. From March to April the average high temperature rises from 16°C to 19°C. Night times remain cool, usually below 10°C. The chance of rain still lingers but gradually decreases, and the sea begins to warm up. As early as May temperatures rise into the mid 20s though at night it still gets down to 13°C. This is seen as a great time to visit Paxos for walking and painting holidays. With the sun coming out for around nine hours a day by May, the lush landscape can be enjoyed in mild temperatures.
Summer, from June till September, sees sought-after long, hot days. Temperatures get up into the high 20s, peaking at 31°C in July and August. From the end of May the heat sets in and the sun comes out for over ten luxurious hours each day. The clear sea is perfect for swimming – often a much-needed break from the heat. In the afternoons a refreshing breeze sweeps in from the sea then retreats again, leaving you to lounge in the warm evenings and enjoy Mediterranean food into the night. Staying up near 20°C, sleeping on peak season nights can be a sticky affair, but a fan or air-conditioning would provide relief.
In autumn the weather stays warm but becomes rainier and less predictable. October and November still see daytime temperatures around the 20s; the sea remains warm enough for swimming and the sun still comes out for around five hours a day. Visiting Paxos in October is smart choice; there are fewer tourists, the days do not reach the scorching summer highs and the nights get pleasantly cool. Showers quite frequently interrupt the sunny days but rarely last for long. However, rainfall increases steadily from the start of the season and November is Paxos' wettest month.
In the winter months from December till February Paxos is not easily accessible and the wet weather puts off prospective visitors. In the day time temperatures sit around 15°C while at night it falls to around 6°C, sometimes getting much colder. It rains regularly though the sun still manages to come out for around four or five hours a day.

Google Chrome extension lets you choose Facebook app permissions
Summary: A new Google Chrome extension called OOptOut lets you pick and choose which Facebook permissions you need to allow in order to install a given Facebook app.
Python programmer Chad Selph has developed a Google Chrome extension called OOptOut that lets you opt out of Facebook app permissions. This is particularly useful if you want to use a Facebook app, or website that requires one, but aren't comfortable with giving it access to your Facebook data.
When you install a Facebook app, the service tells you what the app is asking for: typically it wants access to some of the content you've uploaded to the social network, the ability to e-mail you, to post to Facebook as you, and/or to access your posts and data. Normally, you have to say yes to all of them, if you want to use the app in question, but this extension lets you pick and choose which ones you want to include.
When the app's authorization dialog pops up, OOptOut adds a small bar at the top with checkboxes for every permission the app requires. Once you're done picking, hit the Update button. The page will reload, and the app will then only ask for the permissions you chose. From there, you can hit the blue Allow button as you typically would.
Unsurprisingly, some apps break when using this plugin. This is because developers sometimes build their apps without the consideration that a Facebook permission might not have been granted: if they get a permission denied back from Facebook, the may not handle it gracefully. On the other hand, some apps may check which permissions you're missing and try to get you to re-authortize.
The app is not yet available on Google's Chrome Web Store, but it is available on GitHub. Unfortunately, this means that installing it takes five steps:
- Do a git clone of this repository
- Open up chrome to chrome://extensions
- Turn on "Developer Mode"
- Click "Load unpacked extension"
- Find the folder of your git checkout!
Beyond getting into the Chrome Web Store, Selph has a few ideas for his extension, including improving the CSS, logo, and the name. He's also considering adding more detailed descriptions for each Facebook permission. He even mentioned possibly letting users add permissions the app isn't already asking for, though I'm not sure what the point of that would be.
I'll be keeping an eye on how this extension develops, including whether it is ported to other browsers. I've also contacted Facebook to see what the company thinks of the extension.

"We did not use mace, we did not use tear gas," Reed said. "We did not have any complaints regarding excessive force. In fact, the way Atlanta handled its protesters contrasted with the way other people have handled their protesters across the country." Since the arrests, Occupy Atlanta protesters have taken refuge at the Peachtree-Pine homeless shelter, run by Taskforce for the Homeless, but have vowed to return to Woodruff Park, or Troy Davis Park as it's called amongst Occupiers, on Nov. 5. When asked by a town hall participant if the Atlanta Police Department's show of force was unwarranted because of the peaceful nature of the protest, Reed said the size of the operation was necessary to avoid escalating possible clashes with protesters. Reed compared Atlanta's response to similar crackdowns in other cities, most notably in Oakland, Ca., where police used tear gas, rubber bullets and other crowd-dispersing measures to remove Occupy protesters, causing injury to some demonstrators, including Iraq War veteran Scott Olsen. "We had police helicopters, we had mounted patrol units because we wanted to handle our situation peacefully. You do not ramp up in a crisis. That's what other cities have done. That's what you saw in Oakland. It's better to start out with a significant amount of force. If you start out with a force that is too small and something goes wrong, you then send in people in an expedited fashion. That's the absolute wrong way to do it. "We tried to execute the arrests in a manner that I think it consistent with Atlanta's tradition. I completely understand the folks that disagree with me, but I don't get do-overs," Reed said. Reed said the decision to remove the protesters from the park was largely based on public safety concerns. "If something had happened under my executive order, the liability for the city, because it was under my executive order, would have been significant," he said. "The people who were in Woodruff Park were there after I extended an executive order because I wanted to show my respect for the frustration they were experiencing and for Atlanta's role in the civil rights movement. So that's why I gave an executive order so they could be in the park lawfully. As mayor, I have the ability to extend park hours. I did that out of respect for the protesters, trying to be sensitive to their message," Reed added. Reed said a hip-hop concert scheduled for Oct. 22 – 23 in the park lacked a proper security plan and he was concerned about possible violence after Atlanta rappers Ludacris and Jermaine Dupree were to be "honored" at the festival but would not attend the event. The concert was eventually shut down. A protester, who was not affiliated with Occupy Atlanta, walking the park on Oct. 25 with an AK-47 assault rifle escalated police response, Reed said. "I went to the park, looked at it myself and was concerned," Reed said. "For me, that was a very high risk situation. Some people say that there was no risk there. I don't agree with that."

If you can get rid of all conditionings, if you can think that you are neither a communist nor a fascist, that you are neither a Christian nor a Mohammedan.. You were not born a Christian or Mohammedan; you were born just pure, innocent consciousness.
To be again in that purity, in that innocence, in that consciousness, is what I mean be freedom.
Freedom is the ultimate experience of life.
There is nothing higher than that.
And out of freedom many flowers blossom in you.
Love is the flowering of your freedom.
Compassion, another flowering of your freedom.
All that is valuable in life flowers in the innocent, natural state of your being.
So don't connect freedom with independence. Independence is naturally from something, from somebody. Don't connect freedom with doing things that you want to do, because that is your mind, not you. Wanting to do something, desiring to do something, you are in the bondage of your wanting and your desiring.
But the freedom I have been talking about you simply are - in utter silence, serenity, beauty, bliss.
Osho,What is the goal of life and how can it be achieved?
The camels are very difficult people! Whatever you do to them, somehow or other they will express their camelhood.
My whole life I have been telling you there is no goal!
Life is its own goal.
There is nothing outside life that you have to achieve.
All achievement is the projection of the ego.
The very idea of achievement is ambition.
What you achieve does not matter - money, power, knowledge; these are not in any way going to give you life. In fact, in achieving power, in achieving money, in achieving prestige, in achieving any other ambition, you are losing your life, you are sacrificing your life.
You are involved in stupid things, and by the side life goes on slipping out of your hands. You will realize it only at the time of death, with a shock: "I have been trying to achieve the goal of life and I forgot life itself."
The goal is always in the future, and life is always here. The goal is always far away, and life is in this very moment.
Trying to achieve it, you will miss it. You don't need to try to achieve life: you are alive.
Only dead people can have goals.
Living people live.

News that the iconic ship the U.S.S. Intrepid was heading back to New York to take its place as a museum caught the eye of one former sailor in Topeka.
Jerry Preston served on the ship more than 40 years ago.
Before that, he was turned down by the Navy twice, the Army twice, the U.S. Air Force three times and the Marines twice due to scarring on his heart. He finally made it in the Navy Reserve -- when he was called up for active duty.
"It was something i felt i needed to do," Preston said.
Preston's first assignment was prestigious: the U.S.S. Intrepid.
"I enjoyed it 90 percent, well let's say 85 percent of the time," Preston said with a laugh.
He enjoyed travelling the world, port to port...but says the highlight of his career was being on the ship that recovered the astronauts on the Gemini spaceship. The Intrepid just happened to be the closest ship in the are.
To hear Jerry's story from his mouth, click the video.
Preston said he is proud of his service, and proud to be an American.

About Marcus
I moved to Spain in 2000 and have lived there ever since. I now in the house with my 9 year old daughter but we travel frequently to London and Los Angeles.
Marcus purchased this house in 2001
Why Marcus chose Alcaidesa
This is a fantastic property and has everything you could need as we actually live in it. The house is great for a relaxing family holiday with a large community pool just outside the door, a great terrace for BBQ's and relaxing drinks as you watch the sunset.
What makes this house unique
The front line views to the Mediterranean, across the golf course and unparalleled.
Guestbook comments from the owner
The house is lovely and with the choice of sun bathing by the pool, a day at the beech 10 minutes walk away, tennis on your door step or a day trip to Gibraltar, tarifa, Marbella and many more we were never short of things to do. The views are truly amazing and we spent many evenings eating on the terrace enjoying this view whilst our 9 year old played in the garden. The golf course is literally at the bottom of the garden and my husband enjoyed a few rounds and loved the course. There is a local shop and bar within walking distance and in the summer months the beech bar is open. we ate there a few nights which was lovely and great as the kids get to play on the beech. It is a very quiet here and is a great place for a relaxing getaway. A car is a must as you are a little secluded but you then have many great places within an hour to visit.
