Hi, I'm Alcarcalimo and I'm addicted to Soulshots. I initially disdained using these things except for large yellow mobs but now, I even use them on blue ones--yes blue ONES. I don't know why, but it maybe because of the large blue lights that sparkle when you hit a monster or the additional damage it does but definitely, I cannot move without at least 2.5 k of it on me.I am now on a long road to
I don’t know how involved I’ll be able to get here because I feel lousy and apathetic for some reason.
But some of that reason may ironically be what I want to write this post about.

This is a long one! I sat with Jeremy Miller (of StructureMap/CodeBetter fame) for over 2 hours, talking about DI, Singletons, kids, and other things and what came of it is, in my opinion, the best webcast in this series.

The Labrador dependency of Newfoundland comprises an area of 110,000 square miles. It stretches from the Strait of Belle Isle, latitude 51°20′N; to Cape Chidley, 60°20′N; a distance of 600 miles.

A year later HDU released a fantastic EP called 'Higher' which got th
For a while now, I've been giving it some thought as to what can be done to alleviate our dependency on oil. While at first glance, it may seem like a daunting task, but I believe that it is entirely possible and doable within a three-five year period. This country can do anything. Yep, I'm an optomist and as I'm known at work..someone who gets what needs to be done and done NOW.So here's what ne

Many people who go to private drug detox centers to handle OxyContin addiction or dependency are businessmen: Lawyers, doctors, accountants, engineers, contractors, stock brokers, and so on - careers that might end if someone knew about the drug problem, or if a professional license was revoked because of it.

As disheartening as it is to see a shabby weary man lying prostrate on the park bench sleeping off his alcohol intake, a eternally drunken teen is an even more tragic sight.

This second essay in a five-part series, The Problem of Growth, attempts to identify what causes and sustains hierarchies. Humanity has long been trapped in a cycle of treating the symptoms of hierarchy—here we will attempt to discern its cause in order to treat it directly. The first installment in this series identified the reason why hierarchal human structures must grow: surplus production equals power, and entities across all scales must compete for this power—must grow—or they will be pushed aside by those who do. But why can’t human settlements simply exist as stable, sustainable entities? Why can’t a single family or a community simply decide to opt out of this system? The answer: because they are dependent on others to meet their basic needs, and must participate
by: Margaret Paul, Ph.D.One of my clients, whose ex-girlfriend recently broke up with him, asked me the following question:“I think I still love her, but is this love or just emotional dependency? Many times I ask myself if falling in love comes from the wounded self because (for me at least) it feels as if I can’t live without the other person. When I give love from the heart I don't expect anything back, but when I fall in love I think this is a different energy.”Falling in love can come from two different inner states. When you fall in love from the wounded self – the ego self – you are in love with how the other person loves you. You are handing over to the other person the responsibility for your self-worth and wellbeing, and if he or she does a good job of attending to you

One of the biggest reason that the person around the alcoholic becomes co-dependent is because the alcoholics usually have a very strong tendency to blame all of their problems on the ones around them. "You made me feel bad, now it is your fault that I am going to drink", "You are selfish, it is your fault I drink", "No, I am not the one with a problem, YOU are", "You were not there for me, that is why I drink", etc.Denial is the sister to co-dependency. The person living with one with the sickness wants more than anything for the person to open her or his eyes so that he or she can see her/his own problems and maybe take some action into solving them. When the denial in the sick person stays strong, the other person might start doubting her or himself, maybe the alcoholic is right? Maybe it is me? Maybe it actually is my fault? Maybe if I change myself I can get him/her to stop drinking? At that point you have given yourself powers that you don´t have. You have taken a responsibilit

How can they do this and not realize they are selling themselves short? The Why: they know no other way; the How: they received very good training early in life.Any dysfunction in the family predisposes a child to codependent behavior. Children are biologically programmed to seek love and approval. They have to be cared for or they will die. When a parent or family member is dysfunctional, the child tends to focus on this person--rather than on enjoying a carefree and joyful kid existence. The child has to worry: if the caretaker does not care take, the c

Co-dependence is a condition of lost selfhood. It is defined as any suffering that is associated with or results from focusing on the needs and behavior of others. It can mimic, be associated with, aggravate and even lead to many of the physical, mental, emotional or spiritual conditions that befall us in daily life. We become co-dependent when we turn our responsibility for our life and happiness over to our ego (false self or shadow self) and to other people. Co-dependents become so pre-occupied with others that they neglect their True Self - who they really are.
When we focus so much outside of ourselves we lose touch with what is inside of us: our beliefs, thoughts, feelings, decisions, choices, experiences, wants, needs, sensations, intuitions, unconscious experiences, and even indicators of our physical functioning, such as heart rate and respiratory rate.
Co-dependence is the most common of all addictions: the addiction to looking elsewh
Spring is an Inversion of Control container through its bean factory concept.IoC helps in loose coupling of the code .Spring is most closely identified with a flavor of Inversion of Control known as Dependency Injection(DI)--a name coined by Martin Fowler, Rod Johnson and the PicoContainer team in late 2003.DI is an old concept which caught the fancy of Java EE community not so long ago.DI is quite useful in test driven development and avoiding dependencies on other collaborating objects helps in building unit tests of objects behavior that is under test.It follows famous Hollywood principle "Don't call me.I will call you". IoC moves the responsibility for making things happen into the framework, and away from application code. Whereas your code calls a traditional class library, an IoC framework calls your code. It segregates the calling mechanism of methods from actual implementation.Dependency Injection is a form of IoC.In DI an object uses the other object to provide a specifi

There is no denying we are dependent on technology. One would argue we are certified addicts. In some ways we could argue our computers are simply tools, much like a pencil, and no one would say you have a pencil addiction (maybe a G2 pen addiction or something). But our addiction to computers at times engages us in a number of negative activities and uses of our time.
I am computer dependent. I know I’ve mentioned this before on the blog and I’ve mentioned things I’m trying to do to be more intentional with my time and how I use computers. For example, now I write/ready most of my posts for this blog on the weekend. I have my wife put a password on my computer and then I have to tell her what I’m doing and how much time it will take before she unlocks it for me. This really helps me be more intentional with how I spend my time, rather then taking on new projects at the spur of the moment (or at 10pm at night). I try and limit the amount of times I check my em
