When Life Throws You a Curveball
With the holiday season upon us and the New Year just around the corner, especially driven people are in introspection mode as we analyze the year that was and make intentions for the year to come. Goal setting is extremely important and valuable, and I am going encourage you to do the necessary soul-work for writing meaningful goals. I am also going to give you permission to push pause, possibly even abandoning some of your professional goals to pursue personal and familial flourishing.
Sabbatical on a Budget
Picture this: you’ve been with the same employer for many years and they want to reward your loyalty with the recharge of a sabbatical. Typical sabbaticals can last anywhere from 1-6 months in length, for the sake of this article (and because I’m a teacher that is on sabbatical every summer) we will plug in a 3-month sabbatical.
The Importance of Play
This past weekend our family had to cancel a special trip to a friend’s lake house that had been circled on the calendar for months. Our initial weekend plans had play and adventure built into them to recharge the grownups, help us finish a busy season well and open our minds up to new possibilities for the season to come. As we were scrambling to make new plans, each member of our family got a vote. And each intuitively cast a ballot for adventure as part of the new weekend agenda.
I Love Energy! - Andrew Lott
“Are you tired, run down, listless? Do you poop out at parties? Are you unpopular? The answer to all of your problems are in this little bottle!” This quote, from Lucille Ball on I Love Lucy, is both hilarious and timeless.

Why don't browsers have jQuery installed?
I'm using jQuery on several of my websites and although I use a CDN to serve it, it just doesn't make sense for visitor to download jQuery each time. jQuery must be the world's most widely used JavaScript framework - wouldn't it make more sense if browsers just have it installed by default? In that way millions of times a day a download of jQuery could be prevented.
How to make whole site headers send code 404?
If this is a test site that shouldn't be indexed at all, there are a couple of steps you can take that tell search engines not to index your site more effectively than returning 404 headers. Include the following to your .htaccess to add an X-Robots-Tag across all resources: You could also require a password to access the website. This gives one way to do that, but the .htaccess portion would be: Finally, you could block all traffic to this site by IP address.
Is it ethical to ask people to downvote
You shouldn't directly say say Downvote this answer. Instead, comment on it saying what is wrong, what you should do instead (you could just link to somebody else's better, more correct answer) and why it is wrong. Most likely, people will read the comment, upvote it, and downvote the answer if they agree with you. An example comment: Note: This answer says to do x, but this does the complete opposite the OP originally wanted. Instead, use @BetterPerson's answer (link).
Shortcut to switch profile on CyanogenMod
On my Android, I was looking for configuring profiles and under Settings found that I can configure profiles and there are some pre-existing ones like Home, Work, Silent, etc, with further settings to customize each of them. I'm assuming that this is a feature of my CyanogenMod installation and not part of Android itself. Now, my question is what is the easiest way to switch profiles (say switch from 'Home' to 'Work').
Why is device not showing the phone signal bars anymore?
It's been happening for a while now but I've just gotten around to posting this issue. I'm running Cyanogenmod 10.1 on my Galaxy Note 2 but one fine day, it stopped showing me the signal bars. I've even updated my ROM twice but it hasn't resolved the issue. The phone calls and text messages work just fine but it always shows me that I don't have signal. Here's a screenshot: Screenshot (click image for larger variant) Would any of you know why this is happening and how I could resolve this issue?
Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 neither goes into Download Mode nor RAM Dump Mode
My Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 has just “hung” during the start-up screen with the white text “Samsung www.samsung.com" on a black background. I have tried to restart it and to take the battery out / put it in again but the result is the same. It neither goes into Download Mode ( + + ) nor RAM Dump Mode ( + ). Does anyone have any suggestions or advice on how to fix this?
Android 5.0 (Lollipop) music equalizer?
First of all, I'm rooted. So since I have Android 5.0 on my Nexus 5 I wonder if there still exists the option to change the music equalizer. In KitKat it was like: I wasn't able to find any option like this in the settings, maybe someone of you knows how to get this. I don't want to use the Google Play music equalizer.
