electric vs oil costs
I hope someone can confirm I am on the right track with some cost comparisons.
Electricity is costing us 14.3 cents/Kw (after taxes and all thanks to MD deregulation and 118% price increase)
New oil contract due sets $5.69 cap- yikes! if I sign.
We have a heat pump with oil furnace and some other supp electric heat (baseboard and oil filled space heaters that were not used).
At $5.69/gallon and assumig 70% efficiency for oil furnace,138,690 btu/gallon, 3,411 btu/Kw, I get 19.9 cents/Kw or 17,000 btu per $1 for oil. For electric, I know the rate is 14.3 cents/Kw or ~ 23,850 btu/$1.
It looks like heating oil would have to drop to ~$4.10 to be comparable to our electric rates and heat pump ought to be more efficient than just straight electric.
I don't have the oil #s in front of me, but seems like we might have used 60 gallon/month during heating months. We ran oil more as it was warmer faster and seemed to run less, but might try going all electric this year given the high price of crude and heating oil. If my numbers are close I'm not inclined to sign a contract and service agreement based on past usage, but pay the spot price if needed and only run it when it is like 20F or below. We have a thermo switch that would kick the oil on at a set outsied temp. At $2.49/gallon, we overode the heatpump last year (set at 40F) and ran oil almost exclusively, but it looks to be expensive to do so this year if the #s I found aren't garbage.
Yes, your numbers are right, and you are, as you know, taking electric at the straight resistance rate, not even allowing for the efficiency of the heat pump -- a good, conservative approach -- but the heat pump will in reality be at least twice as efficient as resistance.
So there's no weather where the oil is going to be cheaper at $5.69/gallon. Your only challenge will be to make sure you don't start tripping breakers with all of those plug-in heaters. In your situation, I might want to see if it would be feasible in your furnace to put in some electric strip heaters for your backup heat rather than using the oil furnace. Then you wouldn't have to buy a drop of oil. Alternatively, you could put in some electric baseboard heaters (on dedicated circuits).
I like to use the attached fuel comparison calculator to get a good guide for various fuel type costs.
Punch your numbers in. For COP on new high eff heat pump systems, I suggest 2.75 which is a conservative number. The results are a real eyeopener and as ky said, electric resistant baseboard heat is less expensive than oil.
see calculator.
The question of dropping oil and going straight high eff HP system is really a no-brainer.
I would even check with your electric utility and see if they offer any rate incentive for straight HP heating.
Here is a link that might be useful: Warm Air Fuel Comparison Calculator
I liked the link too. Definately not doing oil this winter. We will try to max out the heat pump and use the baseboard as needed.
Should have no problems with the circuits. We have a pretty heavy service and the prior owners installed the current heat pump after the baseboard downstairs (no prior ducting). I just disconnected it when our inlaws were living with us as they kept putting flammables near the heaters and had the thermostats on all the time even with the heatpump/oil running. I didn't run the baseboard at all last winter (they moved out now) and the temps were fine.
I would agree with your conclusions. The only thing I would add is a typical oil burner runs around 80%. So unless you have an old junker I would use 80% when comparing.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Colorado Rockies manager Walt Weiss is confident that Christian Friedrich has the stuff to be a major league success. Executing pitches is another matter.
Friedrich and Rockies beaten by Brewers again, 7-4
Friedrich gave up a leadoff home run to Rickie Weeks and took his second loss in less than a week to the Milwaukee Brewers, who defeated the struggling Rockies 7-4 Thursday night.
"It's all about consistency and as a pitcher, you have to be able to command your stuff and pitch ahead of hitters," Weiss said. "He's got good stuff. He's got a good fastball and a real good breaking ball. He got a lot of swings and misses tonight."
Friedrich's outing got off to a rough start when Weeks knocked his first pitch over the left-field wall. Aramis Ramirez added a two-run shot later in the inning.
"Those are two pitches that weren't executed," Friedrich said. "The first pitch of the game, I left it over the plate and (Weeks) got a hold of it and hit it real well. With Aramis, you can't make a mistake. I should have buried something there or made sure it was out of the zone. It was supposed to be a fastball in, but it didn't get in enough."
Weeks had three hits and Wily Peralta (9-5) won his fifth consecutive start for the Brewers, who handed Colorado its ninth defeat in 11 games.
"The first pitch he sees, he just turns on it. A great swing," Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said of Weeks. "He had a good night swinging the bat."
Peralta allowed three straight singles in the fourth before Ryan Wheeler hit a grand slam that gave the Rockies a 4-3 lead.
"I've hit one grand slam in Triple-A, but this trumps it by a long haul," Wheeler said.
In the fifth, Weeks led off with a double and moved to third on Ryan Braun's single. Weeks scored on Lucroy's single off the top of the wall in straightaway center. Drew Stubbs nearly caught the drive, keeping Braun from advancing beyond second base.
A sacrifice fly by Khris Davis put the Brewers ahead 5-4.

Amazon's Fire TV: Is It Worth Game Developers' Time? 88
from the how-to-achieve-play-anywhere? dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Why would someone buy a FireTV in other countries? Even in Canada, we don't get things like Hulu, Amazon Streaming, etc. All we have is the Canadian version of Netflix which has, at best, 20% of the library available to the USA.
Amazon's primary interest in this device *seems* to be to drive sales on Amazon Instant, not to serve as a general purpose streamer like Roku (though it does that too). There's some confusion in the business press about what Amazon is up to, but this is a likely guess. It doesn't want to be reliant on Roku, ChromeCast, Sony, etc., and would like to have a sticky ecosystem like Apple.
The other theory is that Amazon believes users will prefer it as a premium branded product, again like Apple. The product does not need to compete with Roku on price, in that case, but does need to compete on features.
That last link points to news.dice.com. Am I the only one who dislikes such a link (without a disclaimer)?
Nope. Nerval's Lobster is the pen name of they guy who wrote a ton of articles on (the now apparently defunct) SlashBI. He gets a ton of stories posted [slashdot.org] (several of which link back to news.dice.com) but doesn't actually participate in the community [slashdot.org].

What is worth doing is worth the trouble of asking somebody to do.

I would like to know how lyte collected this data and came up with these statistics as well. Was this taken from solo que? Normals? How did they know they were using voice chat? Were the people using voice chat already determined to be toxic and simply expressed their toxicity more? He gave a lot of info but we are still missing some crucial peices. Personally I think a voice chat option is still a decent idea. So long as you can opt in and out mid game. Someone starts talking **** to you? Simply leaving the voice chat. I prefer it not be where it's always on and you have to hear them even if you don't wanna use voice chat. Just my 2 cents...also mute buttons

I will be setting up speed clears of ICC25 heroic and Ulduar 25 man on Friday nights at 6pm server each week. In these runs we will be chain pulling the entire instance as quickly as possible. For Ulduar we will do hard modes on some bosses that will not slow down the run and attempt Yogg +0 a few times depending on how long the run has taken. For ICC25 we will NOT be doing achievements if it has anything to do with making the fights take longer than they have to take. We will do a few attempts on Heroic Lich King. Vent will NOT be used.
For Ulduar, fragments are going to be reserved.
For ICC25, shards will be reserved and bloods/infusions will go to a designated player before the raid starts. If you wish to get infusions or bloods you have to tell me before the raid and if nobody else needs it they will be yours. If you fail at doing the plague infusion because you cannot control the abom correctly, tough luck for you and you won't do it.
Loot will be on Need before Greed so just need on anything that you would want and greed/disenchant/pass on items you do not want. Because of this loot system, if you roll on a fragment/shard/blood and it was not reserved for you, you are going to be kicked out of the raid on the spot and will not be invited again.
If you are interested in going leave a response here or through in game mail to Goje.
I will end up putting this on Openraid.us if there is not enough interest from this server and I will not give people on Perenolde priority if they do say they want to go right before the run starts.

Sandra Fluke Headlines L.A. City Hall Rally For Increasing Taxes On Rich
Sandra Fluke, the activist Rush Limbaugh once called a prostitute because she said her Catholic law school, Georgetown, should offer free birth control for women, is in L.A. today.
She's the headliner at a City Hall rally organized by a group called the Action. What do they want? An end to tax breaks and loopholes for the top 2 percent of income earners in the United States.
When do they want it?
You know the answer to that one (now), especially since President Obama and congressional Republican leaders are negotiating to do just that -- end Bush-era tax breaks for those making $250,000 a year (or, as Republicans have suggested, $1 million).
Anyhow, what does L.A. City Hall have to do with it?
Not sure. City Hall is more liberal than Tom Hayden at a gang truce. According to a statement from the Action:
View Larger Map
Participants at the rally will also urge Members of Congress to sign Leader [Nancy] Pelosi's discharge petition and force a vote on extending tax cuts on American families making less than $250,000 per year.
The event will continue the momentum built by California activists to end the Bush-era tax cuts for the top 2%.
... It's time to set our priorities straight: Tax cuts for the wealthy means fewer Pell Grants, fewer Head Starts and more kids shoved into crowded classrooms. It's time to take action.
It's happening outside City Hall now (from noon to 1 p.m.).

Fault Lines on the city's homelessness crisis
06 Jul 2012 15:15 GMT | Sport, Tennis
Six-times champion Roger Federer produced a vintage display to beat defending champion Novak Djokovic 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 in the Wimbledon semi-final on Friday.The Swiss maintained his record of never losing a Wimbledon semi-final to reach a record eighth showpiece match at the All England Club with a dominant performance on Centre Court.After the first two sets were shared in less than an hour, the match came alive in the third set.Serving at 4-5 Djokovic blazed a smash long at 15-30 to give Federer two set points.
Djokovic saved the first with a forehand but Federer seized his chance, winning a sensational 20-stroke rally with a smash to move within a set of the final.Djokovic could not recover and dropped serve early in the fourth set as Federer rolled to his first final at the grasscourt slam since he beat Andy Roddick in 2009.He will face either Briton Andy Murray or Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in Sunday's final.
Federer held his nerve when he served for the match, sealing it after two hours and 19 minutes of high-octane action when Djokovic netted a forehand return."I'm ecstatic, I'm so happy," Federer said immediately after walking off court to huge applause."I played a great match today and it's been a tough tournament for me really. But I was able to play some fantastic tennis today and I thought Novak played good too."The first two sets went really quickly and then the third set was really key and I managed to step it up and maybe get a bit lucky because he also had break points near the end of the third. It was a lot of fun out there today."Looking ahead to a final against either Briton Andy Murray or Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, whom he lost to in the quarter-finals last year, the 30-year-old said: "I lost to Jo here last year and Andy's beaten me more than I've beaten him I think."I have a tough task ahead of me, there's a lot on the line because I can get all-time grand slam record and world number one so I have pressure but I'm excited about it."Federer will return to the top of the world rankings if he equals Pete Sampras's seven Wimbledon titles on Sunday.It would also mean he matches the American's 286 weeks spent as world number one.

Microglial activation by purines and pyrimidines is reviewed, with emphasis on the actions of adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) on chemotaxis or releases of plasminogen and cytokines from microglia. ATP activates microglia, causing morphological changes with membrane ruffling. Activated microglia exhibit chemotaxis to ATP. Microglia stimulated by a low concentration of ATP (∼30–50 μM) rapidly release plasminogen (within 5–10 min), which may protect neurons. Microglia stimulated by a higher concentration of ATP release tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), 2–3 h after the stimulation and interleukin-6 (IL-6), 6 h after the stimulation. It is reported that TNF-α stimulation causes an increase in the expression of IL-6 receptor mRNA and expression in neuronal cells (März et al. 1996. Brain Res 706:71–79). After binding with gp130, the IL-6 receptor matures and can accept IL-6 molecules. It is speculated that neurons may require several hours to prepare for the full reception of IL-6, which induces a more efficient protective effect by IL-6 after stimulation with TNF-α. After neurons are ready to accept IL-6 fully, microglia release IL-6 to neurons. Stronger and longer stimulation by ATP may change the function of microglia and cause cell death. The conditions evoking the heavy stimulation would result from serious injury. Activated microglia act as scavenger cells that induce apoptosis in damaged neurons by releasing toxic factors, including NO, and removing dead cells, their remnants, or dangerous debris by phagocytosis. These actions lead to a suitable environment for tissue repair and neural regeneration. The fate of neurons may therefore be regulated in part by ATP through the activation of microglia.

I am trying to figure out what typeface this is on Redhook beer's labels. Does anyone have an idea?
You'd think if you could load a bigger version of that W into "What the Font" it would identify it. I haven't seen a lot of them that look like that. (Not that I've had tremendous success with that MyFonts feature...but don't get me wrong, I think MyFonts is the "insert your latest hip 'good' substitute here")
That W* is really ugly. There's something odd about it, as if someone stroked a thinner face and did some squooshing.
* Pennsylvania from Font Bureau has a similar W. I still don't like it...
Garage Gothic from Font Bureau, W and all.
You got it. :^)
I still don't like that W but maybe it'll grow on me. I'm partial to ugly faces.

Simon Cowell Picks First 'X Factor' Judge: L.A. Reid
It was long rumored and now looks like it's come true: Island Def Jam chairman Antonio "L.A." Reid will be a judge on Fox's The X Factor.
Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter "it's a done deal." Reid, whose contract with Universal Music is up in December, will get an early release so that he can take part in Simon Cowell's show, which awards a Sony Music recording contract worth $5 million to the winner. Auditions for The X Factor begin March 27 in Los Angeles.
An announcement regarding Reid is to be made this week, according to an insider.
Reid is expected to be one of four judges. It also is believed that he will land a position at Sony Music, which is about to undergo a major management restructuring when current UMG chairman Doug Morris steps in as CEO of Sony Music on July 1.
Reps for Universal Music and Fox, which will air The X Factor this September, would not comment.
When THR interviewed Reid for a February cover story on "The Business of Justin Bieber," the executive insisted rumors of a move to TV were just that. "People think that I went on some campaign or something, I did nothing except my work," he said.
Asked about his interest in an X Factor judging gig and Reid was vague, telling THR he had not "screen tested" for such a position, but he wasn't necessarily opposed to the idea.
He added, "To each his own. I don't criticize. Whatever works, works. I think music on television certainly has a place and it's important. In some ways, TV has become as impactful as radio once was. It's just another way of doing it. You can find music on American Idol, on YouTube, on KIIS-FM or on a mixed tape. The more platforms we have, the better off we are as an industry."
Never miss a story. Stay up-to-date with THR's Daily Headlines.

The essays further show how Smith was silent as to his intended

When you say minimised page - are you talking about web pages? You do not say which browser you are using, Internet Explorer, Firefox etc. What usually happens is that when you minimise a web page it doesn't show up as a separate item on the task bar.
Most browsers now use tabbed browsing which you can see towards the top of your window - a tab with an x or a +. When you click on a plus you can open another web page which means that you have more than one page open at a time. If you minimise both web pages they do not show up in your task bar. In firefox for example, if you hover your mouse over the icon for your browser in the task bar it should show you a thumbnail of one of the pages you have open you click on that - it maximises and you can then see that page with the opened tabs at the top.
Hope this helps.

Perhaps you mean the preview of open windows that you can see just above the taskbar when you hover the mouse above the icons. If so take a look at this link which states that you need Windows Aero to have it enabled. If you have Windows 7 Starter edition on your netbook then Aero will not be available, you need the Home edition or above for that.

Springboks eye return to winning ways
July 16, 2010
The only way is up for John Smit and the Springboks © Getty Images
South Africa captain John Smit is confident his side can return to winning ways against New Zealand in Wellington on Saturday.
The Springboks were crushed 32-12 by a far superior All Blacks side in Auckland last weekend but Smit believes his side can conjure a turnaround in form and score their first ever win at the Westpac Stadium.
South Africa's defeat at Eden Park bore similarities to their 19-8 defeat in Wellington in 2008, when their pack was well and truly eclipsed by the hosts. A week later they bounced back with an enthralling 30-28 win at Dunedin, their first success at Carisbrook ending New Zealand's world record winning Test streak at home.
Smit didn't play in the Dunedin Test - he was injured in a lifting tackle at Wellington which resulted in a suspension to All Blacks lock Brad Thorn - but remembers the determination shown by his team-mates both in the leadup to and during a famous win. He also remembers the feeling of satisfaction post-test.
"The experience from that turnaround week, the guys will hold on to," Smit said. "I can only imagine that the guys on that trip would have those memories of what can be done and what should be done if you apply yourselves. It's that which the guys will try to pull towards tomorrow."
Seven of the Springboks who started at Dunedin will do the same tomorrow, including matchwinning scrum-half Ricky Januarie. Victory was snatched in the final minute when the livewire No.9 crossed via a perfectly executed chip and chase.
"Sometimes those bounces don't go your way in those away games," Smit said. "You have to force those situations through your own tactics and your own belief. If you're away from home and the expectation is on the home side to win, and you want to change that, you have to do what you're really good at well, for the 80 minutes. When you do that, you give yourself a chance for the ball to bounce the right way."
South Africa fly-half Morne Steyn has also rubbished suggestions the Springboks need to change their gameplan. "I think the whole team is ready for this week. We must take another step from last week. It wasn't the best week we wanted," said Steyn. "The whole Springbok set up and the way we play...there is nothing to be changed now that we lost.
"I think it is just the small things we have to do 100% and concentrate on the kicks to be more specific and on target and hopefully we will go better. We played the same sort of rugby and won the Tri Nations last year so we don't want to change the whole gameplan if we lose one game. We are still going to stick to our kicking game but we want to give the guys outside a little bit more."
The South Africans were cheered by some positive news overnight when lock Danie Rossouw was cleared of a calf strain niggle and will start his 50th test tomorrow.

Product Information
- Mine Shift from MindWare
- We recommend this product for ages 8 and up
What It Is
The object of Mine Shift is to be the first player to move all four of your jewels onto your opponent's home tile. To start, shuffle and place all 27 game tiles face down in a stack. One player draws the top ten tiles from the deck and places them face down in the starting configuration as shown in the instructions. The second player flips over all the tiles without changing their positions. Then, each player places his or her four jewels in the four spaces of their home tile. Players take turns moving their jewels along the tiles. Each player makes three moves per turn in any combination of the following move types:
Jewel Step – movement of a jewel one space onto a vacant space on the same tile or on an adjacent tile. A jewel can move forward, backward, or sideways, but not diagonally. You cannot cross any rock walls.
Tile Turn – quarter turn of a tile with or without a jewel on it.
Tile Shift – movement of a tile to an adjacent vacant space.
A turn must consist of at least one Jewel Step. If you can't make a Jewel Step on your turn, you automatically lose the game.
The game comes with 27 game board tiles and 10 jewels in a pouch. It is for two players.
Is It Fun?
What we like about Mine Shift is that it's different each time you play. You never know what ten tiles you'll pick up and use as the game board. With three different ways to move in this game, strategic thinking comes in handy. You'll want to move jewels and tiles to help yourself reach your opponent's home tile, but also make moves that block your opponent from reaching your home tile.
Who It's For
Mine Shift is for ages 8 and up.

We had a wonderful time here. The barn is so spacious with the most wonderful big kitchen. The garden room at the end was a wonderful place to sit both in the day and in the evening. It was very clean. There were many things to do nearby....beaches on the coast (Mwnt is beautiful), we saw dolphins and seals from the beach at New Quay. Mountain biking trails at Brechfa forest. The Woollen Museum, Ceifi Cheese, Teifi Valley Railway were all good options for rainy days. Would definitely recommend this place.

The plot the property sits in is great and if you enjoy the social kitchen thing this is the space for you. We tackled a new cook book whilst enjoying a good glass of wine. There is poppit sands beach about 25 minute drive away, near cardigan which has a great cinema. This property is done to a high standard and is very relaxing.

Expected Graduation: May 2014 Hometown: St. Louis, MO
Major: Politics
Three Words: Ambition, Consideration, Communication
Why USF:
Coming from St. Louis, Missouri, sometimes my worldview was not as open or expansive as I wanted it to be so, when I applied to colleges, I looked for a diverse institution where the views as well as the experiences differed from my own and each other. I found that at USF!
USF Involvement:
Benefits of Involvement:
Not only has being involved helped me meet some of my best friends but it has also given me the opportunity to discover who I am as an individual. These roles that I have served in help me to find my passions and strengths and they teach me how to use those strengths to make a difference.
I think that leadership is being unafraid of being exceptional even if part of being exceptional means that I do things that are unpopular or go unrewarded. This means participating in the leadership positions because I want to help make someone's life better, even if that person stays anonymous forever. I was taught at a young age to live by the motto that you leave a place better than when you first arrived. That is my goal in life and that is how I channel my leadership while always recognizing that I have the ability to change the world wherever I am because I have the passion and drive to make a difference.
Advice to First Year Students:
Step out of your comfort zone because college is one of the best chances to try new things, meet new people and have different experiences. You have nothing to lose by putting yourself out there so take a chance!

And that comment right there encapsulates the liberal mindset.
Sorry Pstall for me it is called being steadfast in your beliefs. I'm consistent when it comes to speaking out against people making those kind of remarks. I don't have an agenda...which is more than I can say for the people piling on NPR.

Barry- eeek glad you're ok!
Free- yes I will definitely see you at the green start
O4S- we must be talking about different hills in Dorset... mine were steep! I've only done one ultra (35m in Northumberland) but 27m in Dorset took me the same time on feet... So I consider it to be ultra as well! I've done lots of back to backs running long on Saturday and Sunday.
2Old- I won't be racing VLM but probably won't be allowed to just happily jog along either... I think I will aim for something like 3.35 but to be confirmed. My training really hasn't been that different from mara training with more long runs and back to backs and no MP sections in long runs. Oh and I've been doing quite a lot of s&c in the gym. I haven't noticed any major differences but what it firmly confirmed in my mind is that I feel best and improve most on high mileage. I'm done attempting the 'quality over quantity' approach, it doesn't suit me. I think I'm a lot like Chick in this respect.
Barry- exciting stuff with the tri coming up!
Chick- I think Sayonaras are a bit like Hitogamis? I love my hitogamis
10m steady done this morning. Gym and intervals planned for tomorrow.
Hi everyone! Quick check in...
AA- sorry I missed you in Reading (Mr Brol said he saw you) and sorry it didn't go to plan but as others have said no surprise after having been so sick. Forget it and move on. You must be getting excited for Boston.
Carrot- OMG you are flying girl!!! I'm with Free- super excited about what you are going to pull out of the hat in London.
Free- I'm excited for you as well, you're going great- what's the target for London?
2Old- congrats on the podium! Speedy as always.
DD- safe travels bet you will be glad to be home!
Nell- very speedy moderate running indeed.
Chick- knocking out some good mileage there I see!
O4S- Dorset hills are fab (ouch).
My comrades training has all been going to plan. Ran 1:35 in Reading on Sunday which is what I hoped for with all the miles in the legs and no taper. I always seem to forget that there are a few hills in Reading, not sure why as I've done it quite a few times so should know better!
Now it's back to slow running until the big day. I have Exmoore Mara booked in on 11th April, then London (not raced all out) and Pembrokeshire 35m ultra on 2nd May... and that's that. It's getting closer now!
Nell/ McHilly- yes, it's the Dorset CTS along the Jurrasic coast. I am getting slightly freaked out as everyone is telling me it's going to take ages. I also roped MrBrol into doing the half, he doesn't do long distances and I think he might kill me.
AA- that's not a bad 5k effort so soon after 2 maras.
Rest day today for me or rather 1h strength session in the gym after work- yawn. I need those legs to get strong for comrades. Battersea 10k on Saturday.
Free- great racing in those conditions you really should be made up! A long run yesterday was enough for me in that rain, can't imagine racing...
Another xc for me on Saturday- total mud fest as expected. 10k planned for this Saturday and Dorset mara next week. I'm a bit apprehensive about that one...not sure I quite understand what I'm getting myself into. But I'm sure it will be fine...

Root / Xposed issue
I'm new to Android, but after reading about the Xposed framework, it looks like there's a lot to offer by rooting the phone.
I used Weaksauce to root the phone. That worked well. Installed SuperSU. Installed the Xposed framework. That worked well, I thought. After rebooting the phone was rooted, and I was able to install Xposed. Rebooted, and it said the framework wasn't installed, even though I had installed the framework. Did a soft reboot and the framework was active. Installed a couple modules, rebooted, and now I get "root failure" every time the phone reboots, and the modules don't start (Sense 6 toolbox stops every time), and the framework is not active.
Any help for a noob?

Re: Root / Xposed issue
I think you can only do the soft reboot with Weaksauce as it takes a minute or two after reboot to activate. Either soft reboot only or look into a permanent root.

After removing Sense 6 toolbox it roots itself after reboot again but the framework won't start.

Re: Root / Xposed issue
I see so many different options - I don't want to unlock my bootloader as I want to stay with the stock ROM.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to simply permanently root the phone, without unlocking the bootloader? I know there's lots of information out there but I don't want to make the wrong choice. Note: I have Verizon.

Re: Root / Xposed issue
I followed the instructions from the Droidreviews site, and with that along with the guy's video above, I was able to perm root my VZW M8.
Xposed Installer works properly now and I was able to get the Sense 6 toolbox along with the "don't panic" modules installed, after rebooting, works great.

Re: Root / Xposed issue
This is great. Sense toolbox fixed some of the annoyances, like having to confirm I want to raise the volume above a certain level over Bluetooth, having to hit enter on pin lock, and various visual and status bar tweaks.
I switched to Dynamic Notifications for my notification center and the don't panic module removed the "swipe down to exit full screen" messages.
Easy worthwhile mod.

Release Date:
March 24, 2009
Vin Diesel opted to not appear in the sequel to the film the shot him to stardom in the first place, The Fast and the Furious. With the character of Dominic Toretto out of the picture, 2 Fast 2 Furious concentrates exclusively on the latest exploits of undercover agent Brian O'Connor, played by Paul Walker. In addition, with director Rob Cohen passing, producers have added a dash of credibility to the sequel by hiring John Singleton to helm. What does completely remain from the first film is the presence of fast-living underground street-racing gangs. Moving from Los Angeles to Miami, O'Connor is looking to redeem himself after the events of the first movie, so he again goes undercover to infiltrate another group of thuggish car enthusiasts. This time around he's enlisted the help of ex-con Roman Pierce (Tyrese) and fellow agent Monica Celemente (Eva Mendes) to bring down Carter Verone (Cole Hauser), an importer/exporter who heads up a massive drug trafficking operation. Heading up the supporting cast are hip-hop stars Ludacris and Fabolous. Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide
Better Luck Tomorrow director Justin Lin picks up where John Singleton left off to offer a high-octane look at the world of underground Japanese drift-racing in the latest installment of the super-charged Fast and the Furious film series. A frustrated teen from a broken home, Sean Boswell (Lucas Black) is an outsider looking to make a name for himself on the illegal street racing circuit. When Sean is busted by the police for his high-speed exploits and given the option of either spending time behind bars or moving overseas to live with his no-nonsense, military man father who's currently stationed in Tokyo, the young rebel packs his bags and sets his sights on Nippon. Though at first reluctant to adapt to the unfamiliar customs and foreign code of honor of his new home, Sean soon strikes up a friendship with American speed freak Twinkie (Bow Wow), a like-minded race fan who schools the inexperienced newcomer in the pulse-pounding world of drift-racing. Inadvertently challenging local champion and yakuza associate D.K. (The Drift King) his first time on the road, Sean is subsequently forced to work under expatriate Han (Sung Kang) to pay off his debt after failing to cross the finish line first. Taking note of the young American's affinity for racing as he warmly welcomes him into his merry band of misfit drift-fanatics, Han slowly introduces Sean to the key principles of the popular new racing style. When Sean makes the potentially deadly mistake of falling for D.K.'s girlfriend Neela (Nathalie Kelley), he'll need all the help he can get to face his most challenging race to date and take on the most notorious driver on the Tokyo drift scene in a hair-raising, hairpin-turn race where the winner truly takes all. Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
A magazine article about real-life car racing gangs for Vibe becomes this fast-paced automotive thriller from director Rob Cohen. Paul Walker stars as Brian O'Conner, a youthful FBI agent investigating a series of hijackings by going undercover with a street gang led by charismatic Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel). Caught up in Toretto's world of gang conflict that is resolved in late-night car races, Spindler starts to sympathize with his chief suspect and falls in love with Toretto's younger sister Mia (Jordana Brewster). In the meantime, Spindler initially suspects the wrong gang of complicity in the crimes he's probing, while Toretto remains involved in a forbidden romance, à la Romeo and Juliet, with his girlfriend Letty (Michelle Rodriguez). The Fast and the Furious co-stars Ted Levine, Rick Yune, and Matt Schulze. Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

Tummy Troubles
If you're thinkin' you don't look as good in your bikini as
you did a few days ago, that might be some period-related bloating. You could
also have either diarrhea or constipation, cramps, and nausea. Some chicas
start craving specific foods and eating a li'l more than usual, too, so be
careful that you keep snackin' on healthy things.
You're not a drama queen, but you've been feelin' pretty
weepy the past few days. That's probably a sign that your period is right
around the corner. You could also be more irritated than usual or have trouble
sleeping. And in severe cases, gals have trouble remembering things and
concentrating in the days leading up to their periods.
Skin Issues
Extra acne tends to pop out on your face when your period
shows up because your hormones are goin' wild. You could also get some cold
sores and sometimes swelling in your face, hands, and feet. If your boobs hurt
a bit and are tender, that's normal, too.
Problem City
In general, you might just feel more tired and achy before
your period hits. You could have headaches, too. And if you have any other
issues, like asthma or allergies, they might be a li'l worse than usual.
Periods are never
fun, but we all get 'em, girls. So what do you do to keep your spirits up when
that time of the month rolls around?
