well, what are you going to do?
i want til the bootloader issue is figured out... but i have a feeling i might get antsy.
i missed wireless tether for too long!
i want to root but it wont install right for some reason on my computer i mainly want it to remove the bloatware
what wont install right?
I decided to root for 2 reasons. 1., being the apps I missed that require it and 2., Because when a bootloader is released I have a feeling Rom Manager won't be to far behind with easy backups/rom loading and since I'm already rooted I can just download it from the market again and go!
what apps require root?
I will wait a few days. I don't want get an update that will force into using rsdlite.
Why wait?
Of course I'm rooting! Just need to wait for my replacement phone first! First one had a screen issue.
I plan on waiting for a week or so to see if any difficulties arise and what the work around involves. However, if s genius programmer manges to crack the boot-loader before that (unlikely) then I'll root early.
Said best
The bootloader may never be decrypted. If all of the "heavy hitters" are now rooted, I don't see why we shouldn't do it. An OTA CANNOT brick your phone because it's rooted.
The question should be, "root or don't root?" I can understand why some people would hold out to see if the bootloader will be decrypted, but if you're going to root you might as well do it now IMO.
Can an OTA break root?
The Froyo OTA update will. Not sure about any minor OTA updates like the one we received the other day.
With that said, you do bring up a point that you can hold out and wait until Froyo to root. That would be the only reason to wait that I see, if you are going to root at all.
Birdman did hint that "something larger than root for the Droid X" is on the horizon, but who knows when that will be. The bootloader is near impossible to crack, but I'm as optimistic as all of you that it will be done. Eventually.
So rooting without the ability to ROM is only temporary! I will wait for now.
Froyo is more important than root for me.
Yes, but look at it as practice.
Plus you can improve you battery with SetCPU, get rid off all ads with Adfree, and use the mobile wifi hotspot aka mifi for free.
But there's no harm in waiting either.
Same here. Root makes me this happy: Froyo will make me this happy:
Now unlocking the bootloader and flashing custom roms would make me... well...
FroYo is supposed to be here in a couple of weeks. I definitely understand why you would wait.
I just don't see any reason to root unless the boot loader is cracked. The only thing I can see using root for is wireless tethering. What else am I missing by not rooting?
My droid x is faster and less laggy than my droid running at 1.2 ghz. Setcpu is not all its cracked up to.
You wouldn't be able to use SetCPU to overclock anyways.
What it is very useful for are profiles, specifically forcing the CPU to downclock when the screen is off.
Should make a noticeable difference in battery life.
I think the droid x is already using variable cpu speed software.
I didn't see "already rooted" as a choice.
So when it comes out lose root and get Froyo then wait for the new root, that's my plan. They may already have more than one exploit, they just don't tell us so Moto doesn't patch them

Photo Credit / Ps. 119: 35, MSG
I grabbed my sun glasses and rolled down the windows. The sunny day was calling me to cruise the expressway, and I simply couldn't resist.
The cloudless blue sky made my heart sing. I turned up the radio and belted out karaoke style as I pressed down on the accelerator.
Zipping along like the Queen of the Road, I was confident and carefree.
I sped forward until I spotted a Grandma crawling in a tiny car in front of me. I decided to make my move and leave her in the dust.
That's when reality hit.
My heart raced erratically, and I jerked the car back into my lane to avoid crashing into a tank that magically appeared on my right. I eased down on the brake and moved over to the far-right lane to cower in fear.
I never saw it coming.
I never see it coming ever.
I always forget my blind spot.
Today, I got a call from an old friend. She shared how someone we love is about to crash. This is not the first smash up, and she's worried for his safety.
If you neglect to pay attention to your blind spot, a total wreck is inevitable.
I don't want to miss out on the journey that God has laid out for me. I pray for God to teach me to exercise wise judgment, rather than running roughshod over others on the road.
A wise traveler follows the rules of the road to avoid a washout:
- Focus on the road ahead and turn off distractions: On the road of life, we need to create a quiet space and turn off the noise.
- Drive defensively with a watchful eye: Pray for protection as you move forward. Ask God to help you heed His signposts.
- Look in the mirror: God's Word will point out obstacles in your path.
- Glance over your shoulder: Look back at the terrain behind you and avoid colliding with someone who is not traveling in the same lane as you.
- Leave space between yourself and careless drivers: A little distance creates space for you to respond wisely, rather than react out of fear.
The best way to avoid a crash is to stay in your lane and move forward on the path that God has lovingly laid out for you.
Something to think about…

TOKYO, Jan 13 (Reuters) - Japanese stocks rebounded sharply on Wednesday and posted their first gains of 2016 after better-than-expected China's trade data soothed sentiment and a weaker yen lifted oversold exporters.
The Nikkei share average rose 2.9 percent to 17,715.63, posting the biggest daily percentage gain since early September.
The broader Topix also rose 2.9 percent to 1,442.09 and the JPX-Nikkei Index 400 gained 2.9 percent to 12,986.76. (Reporting by Ayai Tomisawa; Editing by SImon Cameron-Moore)

Come and follow along with the yearlong adventures of the dynamic duo of Frog and Toad. In Arnold Lobel's well-loved children stories, Frog and Toad share both friendship and life lessons that forge a bond that is stronger than brothers.
Playwright William Reale has adapted the books into this wonderful play with music from Robert Reale. The cast, other than Frog and Toad, assume multiple new characters and change locations with the help of scenery, props and numerous costume pieces.
A Year with Frog and Toad is a three-time Tony-nominated Broadway hit with a jazzy score and a delightful cast. This musical follows two unlikely best friends and their quirky egos from hibernation, to the nice spring and playful summer, to leaves falling and snow gathering, then back to hibernation. Frog and Toad weather the seasons and celebrate their differences which is what makes their friendship stand the test of time.
Opening night began with the buzz of friends and families playfully trying to win the trivia contest about these two amphibian creatures being presented on side projections. Little boys and girls were lively in the audience with their own frog and toad eyes eagerly awaiting the beginning of the show.
Both Cheryl Denson, Director, and James McQuillen, Musical Director, brought a spectacular show together that had the audience on the edge of their seats waiting for what would come next, and they did not disappoint.
Choreographer Jeremy Dumont's work was flawless in execution, but more importantly brilliantly designed. The movements were animal inspired and brought the characters to life. The company was perfect in "Getta Load of Toad" with dance moves that had the audience participating with from their seats. "The Letter" and all subsequent reprises was by far my favorite choreography as Robinson provided high energy for the cute mail carrying snail.
Jeffrey Franks' set design perfectly captured the world of nature that Frog and Toad live in. Each piece of the moving set was well utilized to bring every element of nature to life. The background with the shoots of grass, leaves, and mushrooms all formed a cozy atmosphere for the characters. Frog and Toad's houses were amazing and the attention to detail inside with working fireplaces made them homes. The pond was classically built with multiple levels of rocks that each of the animals used as either a jumping off point or a place to bask in the sun. The added dimension of video allowed for the set to go both underwater and the top of the snowy peaks. The interactive elements of the videos were spectacular.
Properties Design by H. Bart McGeehon only enhanced the sets by Jeffrey Franks. Each and every prop element was carefully picked to enhance the characters. Frog's house was clean and crisp, while Toad's bedroom was picture perfect to his less than tidy ways. The baking scene allowed for the props to be handled by multiple characters and still remain interactive.
Linda Blasé's lighting design was superb. Spotlights were used to easily define the action on stage, which highlighted well with colored lights that distinguished day from night with bright yellow-orange tones that were softened with blues as the day fell to night. It was within the moments of the storm though that lighting shined. The flashes of lightning were realistic and the dark and low lights only enhanced the suspenseful story that Frog shared with Toad.
Sound Design by Marco Salinas was spot-on. Each action by the cast that needed a sound, such as splashing into the water or walking through the leaves only heightened the feel of wildlife all around Frog and Toad. The choice in musical selection set the mood and scene perfectly. Intense scores helped the audience feel the fear within the characters, while soothing movements only boosted the emotions on stage.
Amanda Capshaw's costume design was spectacular. While each member of the ensemble held many different roles, it was the costumes that enriched their animalistic nature. The family of frogs were dressed in shades of green, while the birds were decked out in dresses with feathered fabric that all coordinated perfectly with their flower and feather hats. The squirrels were nice and cozy in their warm winter sweaters, but it was their tulle tails that had me intrigued and wanting a tail of my own. The black snow suits fit the moles perfectly as did the wicker hat shell of the turtle. Snail was dressed as a boy scout with his back pack and sleeping bag on his back that was perfect for his shell body. Frog was decked out in a dapper dress pants and vest, while Toad used suspenders and a bowtie to show his fashion sense. Toad though was easily distinguished with his orange "warts" that accompanied each and every outfit.
Christopher Curtis as Frog was high energy and compassionate which was perfect for the role. Curtis's wide smiles and gentle nods of his head only furthered Frog's happy demeanor. Curtis nailed the frog movements with squats and hops that would make any frog envious. Yet Frog also has a serious side which is shown through Curtis's strong stature, stoic face, and rich vocals in "Alone." Curtis blended in perfect harmony with Hathaway in "He'll Never Know" and the chemistry between the two of them spoke of the true friendship between Frog and Toad.
Toad, played by Brian Hathaway, was spot-on in his role. Toad's carefree personality was expressed through Hathaway's expressive eyes, wide-open gasps, and perplexed looks. Hathaway was light on his feet during the choreography of "He'll Never Know," and shined vocally in "Toad to the Rescue." Toad came to life through his ability to engage with each and every cast member on stage and joy radiated throughout his whole performance.
The ensemble was made up of Beth Albright, Darius-Anthony Robinson, and Kylie Arnold. They graced the stage with a plethora of characters that each had a strong stage present due to the talent of these three individuals. Beth Albright as Turtle was flawless in "Underwater Ballet" and brought an edgy personality with her confident swagger and facial expressions. Snail, played by Darius-Anthony Robinson was a favorite by the audience with his jovial smile, swift foot work, and strong vocals in "The Letter." Kylie Arnold was picture perfect in the role of Mouse. Her squeaky voice and energetic fast-paced movements made her easily seen as a mouse. This ensemble though shined vocally in their role as the birds with "A Year with Frog and Toad."
Dallas Children's Theater has put on an amazing performance with A Year with Frog and Toad. While the ending in many ways is just another beginning of the next season of life, the audience leaves with excitement about what is to come for this sweet duo and their animal friends. The children left the auditorium ready to create memories with their own friends and anticipating the next journey they would read with Frog and Toad.

It is that time of year again when shopping for gifts begins to fill in more hours of the day. As the holidays quickly approach, chances are there are people in your life who are searching for the perfect gift for you.
Alternatively, you're probably looking for a gift either for a close friend family member, or yourself (don't forget to treat yourself this holiday season).
So let me help you out a bit! Here is a list of some of the best gift ideas for women over 40. From great hotel deals for excursions around the world to statement bracelets, I've included over 150 different gift ideas that are perfect for women over 40.
If you see something (or multiple things!) that catch your eye, don't feel guilty about passing this link on to any of your loved ones as a small hint.
Here are my suggestions for gifts for women over 40. Feel free to throw in any ideas you might have in the comments below.
An experience
An unforgettable experience is the perfect gift for almost anyone. In fact travel and experiences is what our family spends the most money on.
The key is discovering what that person you are looking to surprise is yearning to discover and explore, and design an experience around it. There are a number of travel hacks and hotel deals around that make it easy to fly off to exotic locations (like Bali) or romantic locales (like Paris) at a fraction of the price. Hotels.com is a great place to source deals on hotels and resorts. Another website that makes it easy for you to gift someone an experience somewhere around the world they won't forget is Kayak Explore.
- Sofitel Bora Bora Marara Beach Resort (Bora Bora)
- Terrass" Hotel Montmartre by MH (France)
- Riad Kniza (Morocco)
- Noi Casa Atacama (Chile)
- Taj West End (India)
Chic handbag
The holidays are meant for spoiling and splurging, especially when you show great restraint throughout the year. Splurge on a high quality, chic handbag that satisfies both function and aesthetic needs. This is the opportunity to get the supple leather gem you have had your eye on or the completely artsy and eclectic piece you otherwise would never choose to purchase.
- Tory Burch cream leather shoulder bag
- Ted Baker floral handbag
- Clare V. calf hair leopard print handbag
- Marques'Almeida blue handbag
- ZAC Zac Posen leather satchel
Coffee Table book
It's often rare that you are able to combine chic home decor with something that is also intellectually stimulating. That is the beauty of many coffee table books. They make a great gift because they are often collectibles that look great stacked together on numerous surfaces or laid out on their own on a coffee or side table. From architecture to style, you can find a coffee table book that satisfies any type of interest or passion. I'm particularly drawn to the style ones that cover the history of fashion houses (like Chanel) or ageless beauty (like Cohen's Advanced Style).
- IMPACT: 50 Years of the CFDA
- Images of Women II: 2005-2014
- Chanel: Fashion/ Fine Jewellery/ Perfume
- Advanced Style: Older & Wiser
- Inner Constellations: Maïmouna Guerresi Photographs
- Tom Ford
Dramatic black dress
We all know the importance of having the perfect little black dress in our closet that can be worn to numerous events. However, a dramatic black dress takes this to another level. This is another opportunity to indulge in an embellished, draped, or lacy piece that you would normally not choose to splurge on. Whether you go for a Pretty Woman inspired neckline or a grecian inspired asymmetrical drape, this is the dress that gives you your diva, ethereal, or bombshell look that is anything but basic.
- Vivienne Westwood Anglomania black draped dress
- McQ Alexander McQueen black embellished cape dress
- Self-Portrait embroidered midi dress
- T by Alexander Wang dress with bardot neckline
- The Kooples black lace dress
Technology is always going full speed ahead.
Find another way to connect with someone special to you, by giving them the gift of connectivity (especially one they really have use for). From wireless headphones (they'll thank you when they realize how much easier a wire free life is) to chic bracelets that double as cell phone chargers, there are a number of useful gadgets that don't have to make you feel as if you're getting or giving an impulse electronics purchase from Sears that you will no longer use after a month or so.
- Bose wireless headphones
- Apple Watch
- Amazon Echo Dot
- Canon Powershot G9x
- Q Designs bracelet with phone charger
Luxe candles
Quality and expensive candles are often an item that many would add to a wish list, but choose not to purchase for themselves when taking in the cost. Much like perfume, consider the personality and style of the gift recipient. A set of luxe candles that will allow them to indulge could be the perfect gift for them.
- Jo Malone orange blossom candle
- Volupsa maison noir crisp champagne candle
- Anthropologie forestry candle
- Maison Martin Margiela replica candle
- Cocolux Australia island fig, cassis & peach copper candle
Music Service Subscription
Most everyone you encounter has a great passion for some type (or all types) of music. With so many options available to play music digitally, the ability to play music is often overlooked as a gift.
This is a very functional gift that will still be delightful and will often solicit the, "I actually use that!" response. Consider purchasing a year long subscription to a music service (like Apple music).
- Tidal music subscription
- Spotify music subscription
- One year Apple music subscription
- Amazon music subscription
- Google Play Music unlimited subscription
Perfume can be one of those gifts that is pretty basic if it's given without much thought to the recipient. As you select the right perfume for the recipient, keep in mind what they are passionate about and how they go about wearing perfume.
Are they a lively personality in love with vibrant florals? Do they tend to prefer a bit more of the exotic and would be into more oriental notes? Memory is strongly attached to scent and selecting the right quality perfume allows you to give them an experience each time they use it. For more tips check our tips on the most popular perfumes and the best and most popular summer perfumes.
- Hermès Jour d'Hermès – Pure perfume
- Yves Saint Laurent 'Black Opium' Eau de Parfum
- Tom Ford 'Black Orchid' Eau de Parfum
- Chanel COCO Eau de Parfum Spray
- Creed 'Spring Flower' Fragrance
- Dior 'J'adore' Eau de Parfum Spray
Quality silk or cashmere scarves are a gift that keeps on giving. Not only will the recipient think of you whenever they wear them, but they will get a lot of mileage out of them. Quality pieces are timeless and allow you to select prints or colors that fit the personality of whomever receives it as a gift.
- Givenchy floral print silk scarf
- Salvatore Ferragamo silk scarf
- Moschino silk scarf
- Marc Jacobs silk and cashmere scarf
- Ted Baker silk scarf
Statement jewelry
A statement necklace is always a great gift.
There's something thrilling about receiving a piece that looks unique and will bring about many compliments. And when giving this as a gift (or receiving it), the answer will most always be, "It was a gift." That response is usually said with a smile because the thought and the bracelet, necklace, or earrings count.
- Kate Spade floral crystal necklace
- Bauble bar "jungle" statement necklace
- Kendra Scott rose gold drop earrings
- Kate Spade green statement earrings
- Cynthia Desser stingray bracelet
- Karine Sultan split cuff
- Marchesa ornate cuff
- Nordstrom crystal collar necklace
Statement shoes
You can never go wrong when selecting shoes as a much loved Christmas gift.
Take it up a notch, however, and select a statement pair that could be considered a splurge. These are the pair of shoes the recipient would otherwise reconsider because they might not think of all the places they could wear them or they want to opt for something a bit more functional. However, these are the wishlist pair that are unique and aligned with the wearer's personality.
- Marc Jacobs spider embellished flats
- Kate Spade pumps
- Dune animal print ankle boots
- Loeffler Randall flower mules
- Badgley Mischka teal embellished satin flats
There is something quite comforting about a quality journal that has an inscription on the front from whomever gave it to you. Especially if you love to write or like to collect quality pieces.

Travel accessories
We all know a woman who is quite the explorer and has a travel bug that never diminishes.
One of the biggest needs when traveling is quality luggage that both looks and feels good to handle. Travel related gifts are always appreciated by the explorer.
Consider splurging on technologically advanced pieces like the Raden suitcases that have an internal scale (you just pick it up to see how much it weighs), a tracker so you can never lose it (imagine the anxiety of never seeing your bag again disappearing) AND a mobile charger. Or maybe you opt to upgrade their backpack to a supple leather piece that will last for years and dress up their airport look a bit.
Either way, these are gifts that you know they will use year after year.
What is on your holiday wish list this year? What is the best gift you have ever received?

Lavazza formulated specific roasting cycles that can bring out the uniqueness of each blend and yield nuances of body, sweetness and fragrance.
Light roasting cycles are used for enhancing body and intensity.
Medium-length roasting cycles bring out the fragrance and sweetness, expecially for Arabica blends.
Dark cycles are reserved for espresso blends, which gives them a creamy quality and a well-amalgamated flavor.
Each intensity reflects our blending and roasting artistry:
1: a very light-bodied coffee with a delicate taste and aroma.
2: a light-bodied coffee, with a sweet and flowery finish.
3: a balanced coffee, with a thick and velvety crema, and a rich taste and aroma.
4: a coffee with a rich body, long-lasting crema, intense taste and aroma with hints of dried fruits.
5: a full-bodied coffee, with a dark and long-lasting crema, strong taste and aromas with notes of dark chocolate.

A quick glimpse of what can happen in a month at White Stone Farm!
Recently I was asked by a fellow-blogger friend to contribute a guest blog detailing my life for 30 days. The blogger is Christie Peucker, who has just returned from an epic year-long adventure around the globe where she did weird and wonderful things for a month at a time to celebrate and tick off her bucket list. It's a fascinating look at the adventure of a solo female traveller in some pretty incredible places. Christie has now set up 30 Days – The Collection series on her website, asking people to contribute their 30 days of life or adventure – and I was very happy to contribute the crazy antics of daily life at White Stone Farm. Read on for a taste of my month of musings. And if you'd like to check out Christie's blog of her amazing adventure (or help her publish a book about it!), go to: http://www.30days30years.com/
30 years = 30 days of a Tree Change
In a sudden moment of epiphany as we began our 30's, my partner and I decided that we wanted out of the smoggy city, the hustle and bustle and sprawling suburbia and headed for the hills for a new life of fresh air, wholesome veggies, strong community, country living and a small-acre farming lifestyle.
Within a month we were moving our jobs, lifestyles and futures to an idyllic country township with dreams of creating a sustainable farming venture and merely 6 months later buying and settling on a 10 acre property near Clunes in central Victoria. Nestled on an ancient volcanic landscape, with huge gum trees that have watched over the land for over 500 years, we began to make our home in the rustic weatherboard farmhouse and named the place White Stone Farm.

More than 70 law enforcement personnel were at a Hyatt Hotel in Thousand Oaks investigating reports of shots fired early Thursday morning.
Ventura County sheriff's deputies responded around 2:30 a.m. to reports of a shooting inside the Hyatt Westlake Plaza in the 800 block of South Westlake Boulevard, officials said.
Sheriff's Capt. Don Aguilar said there have been no reports of injuries and no arrests have been made.
The hotel has not been locked down, but authorities set up a perimeter around the area limiting access. Hotel guests, however, are free to leave, he added, and no roads have been closed.
"There appeared to be some information that a shooting occurred here, but we're still trying to confirm," Aguilar said. "We're continuing to investigate."
A hotel employee reached Thursday said no manager or spokesperson was available to comment.

Two Pakistani Christians who were twice denied visas to come to Scotland have been given leave to visit, an MP has said.
SNP MP Kirsten Oswald said the Home Office has overturned its refusal of the travel visas, which were made through the Faithshare Visitor Programme that is run by the Church of Scotland's World Mission Council.
The Church of Scotland said it gave reassurances to immigration officials about the two would-be visitors but their visas were initially refused because ''they could not prove they were wealthy enough to be allowed into the UK''.
Loading article content
The pair had hoped to visit Glasgow this year as part of moves to create a twinning link between the Kirk's Glasgow Presbytery and the Diocese of Hyderabad.
Ms Oswald, who had raised the issue at Prime Minister's Questions, welcomed the Home Office's reversal.
The East Renfrewshire MP said: "The fact that the refusal has now been overturned rewards the efforts of Greenbank Parish Church who brought this important issue to my attention - and I am delighted that the twinning project will now be able to go ahead.
"The initial decision to refuse visas to the two Pakistani Christians was simply wrong - particularly with it coming down to the applicants being unable to prove they were wealthy enough to be allowed into the UK, despite the visits being fully funded by the Presbytery of Glasgow."
The Very Reverend Bill Hewitt, joint presbytery clerk of the Presbytery of Glasgow, welcomed news of the reversal.
He said: "I am delighted that they have overturned this and that we can get the full complement of visitors to come over.
"We are creating a link between Glasgow Presbytery and the Diocese of Hyderabad and this is just another step in the twinning process.
"Four of us went out last year and four of them are coming here to share in the life of Glasgow."
Two of the group coming from Pakistan have British passports.
The visitors are due to come to Glasgow in February and will stay for a week.
A Home Office spokesman said: "It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure they submit the required evidence to show they meet the financial requirements for the visa category they have applied for.
"Where this evidence is not provided applications will be refused."
The Immigration Rules state that an applicant wishing to enter the UK as a visitor needs to provide evidence that they are a genuine visitor and have a genuine intention to leave the UK at the end of their proposed visit.
They must also be able to maintain and accommodate themselves during their visit without working or having recourse to public funds.
It is understood that the applications were initially refused because the required evidence was not submitted.
However, the applicants have since submitted evidence that shows they meet the rules and have now been asked to submit their passports so that visas can be issued.

How do you make the female voice stronger in Act 1, Scene 3 of Romeo and Juliet?
- print Print
- list Cite
Depending on how you play Juliet, you can make her appear strong or weak in this scene. On the surface, Juliet does not have much to do or say in this scene. She can be interpreted as very passive. However, if you look closely you will see many opportunities for Juliet to respond to what the Nurse and her mother are saying.
The best opportunity to strengthen Juliet's character is through her responses to the Nurse's speech. She can sit back and just listen, or she can use her facial expressions and body language. She can either be embarrassed, or think it is funny. Based on Juliet's lines, she probably would be better off being amused.
For instance, when Juliet's mother asks her what she thinks of marriage, here is how she responds.
It is an honour that I dream not of. (Act 1, Scene 3)
This line can be delivered as a retort, and very sarcastically. In other words, she really does not want to get married. When she is asked about Paris, she seems to definitely give a witty and evasive answer.
I'll look to like, if looking liking move;
But no more deep will I endart mine eye
Than your consent gives strength to make it fly. (Act 1, Scene 3)
Juliet could deliver this line sweetly and sincerely, but she could also be bratty and sarcastic. This gives her character another dimension, making her two lines very memorable.
Juliet is a strong woman. She follows her own will throughout the play. In this scene, she takes a backseat to two other strong women. You can play this deferentially, but the typical bratty teenage attitude would be must more interesting.

When I saw this question, I said to myself, Yeah, she's SERIOUSLY talking to me!
As I'm writing this, I've been with the Hub Pages community for about eight months and have only written a meager 11 articles. I started out with a burst of energy and commitment, but that quickly waned as other "stuff" got in the way.
The challenges of finding great topics to write about and the pressures of being a stellar hubber quickly got the best of me. Also, the rejection of my admittance to the Apprenticeship Program made me reexamine my consistency and commitment to this platform.
I don't want to be known for "half-assing" on anything, so because of that, I've quickly regained my focus and am now back on track!

Tim Hortons Inc. will shutter 36 underperforming restaurants in New England to focus its U.S. growth on the Northeast and Midwest.
The decision led to a $20.9 million asset impairment charge in the third quarter, which swung the U.S. division to an operating loss of $17.5 million, the company said. Same-store sales in the United States, where Tim Hortons has more than 600 restaurants, rose 3.3 percent in the third quarter, down from the year-ago trend of a 4.3-percent i

Okay, If your not good with skillshots gtfo (jk)
the runes have 11 mana reg per 5 sec so don't over use your spells.
(if you run out of mana use clarety.)
Okay, sear is really high dmg spell good if you are in a lane with one ragen and one mele. if it is 2 mele start with pillar of flame. remeber that blaze puts a dot that takes like 22-26 hp in dot.
Here is a little thing I descoverd.
Check your map where your creeps are whne you have ultimate and try to hit the person with low hp when your creeps are kinda near tower. that will result that: your cast your ult hit the guy with low hp bus he is still up and running, but he dosen't know that his creeps is behind him and your ult will bounce and bounce back on him wich kills him. ( best for mid )
Mana prob: The runes is very helpfull and Arch angel will boost your ap and mana reg, don't overdue spells.
Rabbadon buffs your ap and gives 155 ap witch will buff the Artch angel whom gives you even more ap trough your mana. rod of ages is great and stacks on kills/creep kills ( ap/hp/mana ). merajs shoul stealer you get a lot of ap witch gets buffed buy rabbadon. death fire grasp i'ts like a 7th spell good vs tanks and 1 0 1 when you don't want to waste your ult.
sorry for my gramma, but im just putting this out.

BOSTON -- Scott Atchison isn't getting many headlines. But he is getting plenty of work and doing the most with his appearances.
Atchison, who pitched one third of an inning in the Red Sox' 6-3 win over the Detroit Tigers Tuesday night, has thrown more relief innings -- 29 13 -- than any pitcher in baseball. He also sports a 0.92 ERA, fourth best among qualifying relievers in the big leagues.
Atchison, in fact, went into Wednesday's game with a chance to go the entire month of May without allowing a run. The last run he allowed came on April 29. He hasn't allowed a run in his last 13 outings, covering 17 23 innings.
The latter represents the longest current scorleess streak of any pitcher in the majors.
Opposing righthanded hitters have hit just .189 against him while lefties have hit just .212.
"He's an efficient thrower,'' said Bobby Valentine. "His 90 (mph) reads more than that, obviously, because the hitter doesn't see 90; they see something more than that. He's got late rotation and the short arm stroke behind him and he's able to move the ball side-to-side and do it with efficiency.
"Before the ball leaves his hand, you can see where the catcher is and know where the ball is going to be most all of the time. Then, all he you need is a plan and he works his plan against hitters.''
Atchison has had to overcome numerous trips back and forth to the minors and the perception that he's not overpowering.
"He's evolved into a very good pitcher,'' said Valentine. '"But because he doesn't throw 95 mph, as soon as he gets hits, people are going to say, 'It was all smoke and mirrors from the beginning.' It's kind of a weird thing.''

Video – Take a tour of the Hero Leap electric hybrid scooter concept
As a toddler, those wheeled machinery fascinated me even before I knew what they're called as! So here I'm, petrolhead by birth, Mechanical engineer by qualification and automotive reporter by profession!
The Hero Leap is an electric hybrid scooter concept that made its debut at Auto Expo 2012.
[Can't watch the video? Head to Youtube]
About a year and a half later, we don't have any updates on whether its heading towards production or was just a short-sighted concept designed to get eyeballs.
Without indulging in speculation, we're presenting a video which explains the futuristic scooter's noteworthy features.
For starters, the Leap adopts an edgy design philosophy which is not observed on any scooter currently on the market. The appearance is suggestive that there's something radically different under the skin. The large LCD instrument display gives away the scooter's hybrid hardware.
The Hero Leap has features that improve practicality such as adjustable seat, wide underseat storage, luggage compartment in the front apron, dual LED lights, DRL and front disc brakes.
The Leap is a serial hybrid scooter with a rechargeable battery management system which is paired to a petrol range extender. Performance stats are not discussed but expect commendable fuel economy and emission levels.
The scooter features a very unique drive chain case that doubles up as swing arm for the rear suspension. The location of the rear suspension mount is unique too.
While the Indian scooter segment is promising, the scope of an electric hybrid scooter (read as an expensive lifestyle product) is relatively limited. A strong support from the government is needed to promote such green two wheelers.
Nevertheless, if India opens the door for hybrid scooters, Hero won't be caught off guard.

The world currently harvests an estimated 3.5 billion cubic metres of wood every year, according to the FAO; used in traditional markets such as paper, packaging materials, furniture and fuel-wood. These markets are growing as a function of demographics (an expanding global population) and of economic development (the growing 'middle class'), generating significant higher demand for wood-based products.
In addition to these traditional uses, new markets such as biomass for energy generation, advanced structural wood, and wood-fibre based bio-materials and bio-fuels are developing at a very fast pace.
To meet demand, however, a material proportion of wood volumes utilised every year continued to come from natural forests, much of which is illegally felled. Virgin forests are clearly an unsustainable source for environmental and practical reasons. At a fundamental level, there is an expected (and growing) gap in sustainable sources of wood supply.
Sustainably managed forest plantations can be a positive alternative to virgin forests as a source of wood fibre – according to some estimates, in the order of 80 million hectares of new tree plantations might be developed by 2030 - over 10 times the area currently under plantation regimes in Brazil, one of the world's largest sustainable wood producers.
An important investment opportunity exists in the development of new, sustainable sources of wood fibre around the world.

Cogniflex is a new medication that can benefit men and women who find it difficult to concentrate, lack energy, cannot remember things, find creativity hard, or who find that they are unproductive and want to do more. The supplement is being compared to Adderall, a FDA-approved medication used to treat ADD and ADHD in both children and adults. The Cogniflex nootropic supplement is designed to power your brain, temporarily enhancing the cognitive ability and functioning.
The Natural Medicine
The Cogniflex nootropic is safe to take (by men and women of all ages) because it is made with all natural ingredients that do great things for your brain and overall lifestyle. This isn't something that can be said about Adderall, at least for every patient. Adderall comes with a slew of risks and potential side effects, from insomnia to loss of appetite and depression. But, the new supplement works without any of these headaches disrupting your life.
What's Inside Cogniflex?
There are several ingredients packed inside of Cogniflex. These ingredients work together to provide superior results that boost your brain power and help you feel at your best. When using this supplement, you will be able to concentrate, will have more energy and a better memory, and a whole lot more. Inside of this supplement, you will find:
– Rhodiola Rosea: This ingredient helps fight mental fatigue
– Huperzine-A: This ingredient works to enhance the memory
– Vinpocetine: This ingredient helps accelerate the glucose found in the brain, resulting in heightened energy levels
– L- theanine: This ingredient works to balance the brain and prevent you from getting too excited form the rush of energy.
– Tyrosine: This ingredient builds transformers in the brain that help you focus and become alert
– Bacopa Monnieri: Works to enhance brain blood flow

NEW YORK – One month ago, the world's first W hotel on Lexington Avenue finished overhauling its "Living Room," the couch-and-lamp-filled public area located just off the check-in area.
Now you're probably thinking, "So what? A lobby's a lobby."
But this one's special since it was the very first "Living Room," W's lobby concept that arguably helped revolutionize today's mainstream-chain lobbies as Gen Xers increasingly wanted to work on their laptops in public spaces like they do in Starbucks cafes instead of working in their rooms. And it hadn't been touched to any large degree since the day the hotel opened, so a little bit of hotel history went away with the renovation. On top of the history, the hotel is massive with nearly 700 rooms, which makes it one of the largest W hotels in the system.
I sat down last week with general manager Anna MacDiarmid, who previously ran the W Hoboken across the river, for an update.
Don't expect any dramatic structural changes; the updates are almost completely design-related, she told me. The space, for instance, still involves a sunken living room, floor to ceiling windows and a jumble of couches and chairs. But the look is completely different. Highlights:
- Colors: Earth tones have been replaced with an array of silver, bronze and other metallic tones,
- Natural light: Stained glass windows have been replaced with clear glass, letting in more light,
- Texture: Expect to see hammered metals, upholstered chairs, slate-topped tables, a plexi-glass design piece that sports a New York City skyline (if you view it from an angle) and acts as something of a room divider,
- Carpeting: Wall-to-wall carpeting that touts a simple outline of the city skyline.
The look reminds me of a New York version of the W London in Leicester Square, only less outrageous and more suited to business people. Power outlets, for instance, are plentiful and easy to find.
The W New York's lobby update was the most visible part so far of a broader improvement program that the hotel will carry out over the next few years, MacDiarmid told me. The meeting space has already been updated with the metallic-city theme.
"It needed a full renovation," she said, referring to the lobby space. "The idea for us was to make it an open space so people know there's a hotel inside. There's a lot to see, and now, you can see and be seen."
When I was there, I was one of many people with their nose buried in their laptop or mobile device. My chair was comfortable enough to do work for a period of time with the free lobby Wi-Fi. Waiters asked people if they wanted to order anything.
"You're forecasting the future"
Originally a David Rockwell design, the hotel was conceived of with a "heart of New York" theme due to its Midtown location on Lexington Avenue near iconic destinations such as Fifth Avenue and Grand Central Station, said Gray Shealy, former global design director of W hotels who now leads the hospitality program at Georgetown University.
"It was a really interesting space. I remember going in when it first opened and being surprised," he told me during a telephone interview. "There were pressed ginko leaves in the stained glass windows. At the time, it was extremely innovative."
But the Living Room's design had a hard time withstanding the test of time, which – due to the recession – was longer than average. In the past, he said, hotels will renovate spaces every seven years or so, but when hard times hit hotel owners tried to hang on to older designs for a longer period of time to save money.
"We're no longer seeing seven-year renovation cycles," he said. "We're seeing some hotels that have to last 10-plus years, which is a challenge from a design perspective."
That's why designing hotel interiors can be so challenging. "You're forecasting the future," he said.
The hotel's brand-new look may be glittery, but it will be timeless due to the color scheme of metals, blacks and glass, he said.
More change to come
The lobby's bar now has a selection of draft beers, and the bar doubles as a morning hub for to-go coffee ($4 or $5), pastries, yogurt and juices. Bar prices did not change from before the renovation, she said.
The property's owner, Host Hotels & Resorts, last revamped the W's rooms seven years ago and the plan is to update them again in about two years. The restaurant located off the Living Room is still awaiting a revamp. There are no changes to report at this time for the Whiskey Blue, the long-time bar operated by the Gerber Group also located off the lobby closer to the hotel's entrance.
The hotel caters overwhelmingly to business travelers, especially consultants, she said, with just 14% of customers a part of larger groups, MacDiarmid said.
Is something missing?
There is, by the way, one significant difference that you might notice.
You'll no longer hear DJs "spinning records" on Thursday to Friday nights in the Living Room. Instead, guests will find free samples of cocktails at an evening happy hour and occasional small events such as book signings.
The DJs, MacDiarmid told me, are also part of history.
"Everyone's doing them. A year ago we said we're not going to do them anymore," she said. We were the first ones to stop."

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – November 21, 1968 is a dark day for the Wichita Fire Department, that day, four members of the department died in the line of duty.
Fire Chief Thomas McGaughey, Chief Inspector Merle Wells, Firefighter Jimmy L. Austin and Firefighter Dale Mishler were a part of the team trying to fight a fire at the Yingling Chevrolet building in the 300 block of South Topeka.
The fire was above the ceiling, but as the temperature rose, the frame of the building weakened.
Firefighters that survived the collapse say a pop was the only warning they had a split second before the roof caved in.
Family, those who were at the scene, and people hoping to honor the fallen came together Monday morning as a plaque was unveiled near the site of the fire.
Wilson, North Carolina Fire Chief Don Oliver was one of the first on the scene that night. Now, nearing 50 years of service, he says the night still stands out vividly in his mind,
"In that 50 years…worst night of my life," he said. "It was almost surreal, I just talked to Jimmy Austin about 20 minutes before he passed."
The memorial Monday gave Oliver closure, but also gave him the opportunity to meet others with close ties to the tragedy, including Dale Mishler's daughter, Tara Braland.
Monday morning, he spoke to her with kind words about her father, "for him to be able to speak to me about my dad and that he was with my dad…I don't know, it's just like a family," Braland said choking back tears. "The firefighters here, they don't lose their passion for their fallen."
According to the Wichita Fire Department, this incident was their single largest loss of life.

Boston, April 19: Boston police have confirmed that Suspect 2 is 19 year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev of Cambridge, Massachusetts. The hunt for Dzhokhar is on at Watertown, a suburb of Boston. It has also been confirmed that the dead suspect is Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
Both are brother and they are originally from the Russian Caucasus. They had moved to Kazakhstan at a young age before coming to the United States several years ago.
Meanwhile, the Greater Boston area is under massive lockdown. All public transport and taxi services have been suspended in Boston until further notice, Boston police have announced.
The aviation authorities have suspended air services over the city. Edward Davis, the police commissioner of Boston has asked the people to report anything suspicious.
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick said today that there is a massive manhunt under way for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. He confirmed that all public transport has been suspended. He asked the people to stay indoors with their doors locked and not to open their doors to anyone except a police officers - in "all of Boston".
How the drama began
The drama began late Thursday (US local time) with the robbery of a 7/11 convenience store. This was after the FBI released images of two suspects.
Soon after, in Cambridge, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer was fatally shot while he sat in his car. The police believe the bombing suspects were responsible for the shooting.
The brothers then hijacked a Mercedes car at gunpoint in Cambridge. They released the driver a half-hour later. As police picked up the chase, they threw explosives and shot at officers.
The officers fired back, wounding Tamerlan. He died at Beth Israel Hospital. He had bullet wounds and injuries from an explosion, according to officials. Dzhokhar apparently escaped on foot.
Who are the terror siblings?
According to the Russian social networking site Vkontakte, Tsarnaev Tamerlan graduated from the Cambridge Rindge & Latin School, a Massachusetts high school two years agao. He had schooling in Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan, from 1999 to 2001.
He was a good student as he received a $2,500 scholarship in 2011 to pursue college. He was also named a wrestling all-star at his high school the same year. He wanted to become a engineer.
A posting on a social media site in his name included the comments: "I don't have a single American friend. I don't understand them."
Tsarnaev wrote he considers "career and money" most important in life. As his worldview, he wrote: "Islam".
He knew English, Russian and Chechen, and affiliated to groups devoted to Chechnya.
Tsarnaev was born on 22 July 1993, just before a fierce battle for independence broke out in the republic of Chechnya. Over time, the independence movement grew increasingly Islamist in character.
Tsarnaev follows several pages devoted to Islam. He also lists one of his favorite songs as Hey Sexy Lady"by Shaggy. But Tamerlan seemed anti-American and did not like Thanksgiving.
