Allods : One of the best train wrecks of an mmo i have every seen.
I wish you well PioPico but i think you are to late to entice players to return.
Sibs4455, I won't deny that there have been some unfavorable features in the past although we were able to take feedback from the community, and make changes to the game that addressed those concerns.
Do you currently play Allods Online? If not, how was your experience with the game in the past?

Hello PioPico,
I'm playing Allods Online and enjoying it but my question is why can't we have a subscription option like some other mmo's do (LOTRO and DDO) for instance so people can choose to sub and receive everything normally or can choose F2P and buy stuff in the item store or "packs". I am reluctant to pay for item store stuff but would be willing to sub.
As Allods Online is a good and polished mmo why don't you offer this sub option that would certainly interest people?
Hey, MyPreciousss. Your suggestion of having a subscription option is a suggestion that comes up every now and then on our official Allods Online forum. One reason why that option would not be possible is because Allods Online is published by gPotato and all gPotato games follow the Free to Play model.
Speaking as a gamer myself, all of the MMORPGs that I have played for an extensive amount of time have all been Free to Play games. I personally like the option of contributing to the Item Shop whenever I want versus the monthly subscription fee just to play the game. I do acknowledge your preference for more options and more options are great! However, I hope my response was able to shed light on why Allods Online doesn't have a monthly subscription option.
It's also great to see you're actively playing the game and you came across my post here. How far along are you in the game now?

Well i was an advet player of allods until recently when people decided to just stop playing. I here the same blah blah blah about this game and its cash shop. Or the game being a p2w. You can find everything in game to get to endgame. Its all about how dedicated you are in getting what you want. The issue i had with allods was endgame. It got real boring doing the same daily quest and trying to frind astral runs. It got really expensive trying to buy gems on the ah just to turn around and spend more on them to turn them in.The patch looks really nice and looks like you guys put some effort into promoting it. Try fixing this game and get rid of these monotnus quest and people might come back.

It's unfortunate to hear you've been actively playing the game until recently when we have Patch 3.0, Overature of the Damned coming in just two weeks (February 15th). I know the quest you are referring to which is to unlock the third layer of the Astral. I've seen feedback from the community that about the quest taking a lot of time to complete although it was implemented to help ensure players reach the max level at a steady rate. From your response I can tell you've kept up to date with the contents of the upcoming patch which removes the quest that we've been talking about which the community will appreciate. The change of the quest is also able to occur since the max level cap will be raised to 51 to ensure players' leveling flow to the new max level (47 to 51) will not be hindered.
I have great expectations that the upcoming patch will get lots of attention from new and veteran players. Anyone who has played the game in the past would want to check out the many new features such as the PvP Skirmishes which will add extra entertainment to mix in with one's PvE adventures. Also the new buzz about the new archetype, Bard, is always something that a lot of people will want to try out so it'll make gameplay much more interesting when interacting with the new archetype in PvP and PvE settings.

Coming with the new patch:
I hear the lock past level 46 will be removed and that you'll be able to reincarnate yet again. This is actually the most boring idea ever, leveling a toon yet again. What's next big patch bringing, reincarnating a third time (forth incarnation)?
The unlock of Level 47 is good for most players I guess. I'm already Level 47 and not affected by this. Level 3 Astral is tough and somewhat boring trying to get a team together. The debuffs can make completing the allod close to impossible. I hope Level 4 and 5 are worth the trouble. Will skipping Level 3 be possible, or are we stuck with these boring conditions? What are the requirements to access Level 4 and Level 5?
The draconic stuff will get nerfed considerably and can be purchased from rep vendors now.
Apart from the new Allods and bosses, is there anything I'm missing? I heard about the possibility of having a second build one can switch to and fro, something like Roles in Rift, what's up with that?
The ability to create another incarnation is an option players will be able to utilize if they have already completed the quest to create the first incarntion. There's nothing wrong with more options right? =) Plus this works in players' favor because anyone who completed the inarnatioin quest and already leveled an incarnation to a high level would like to have an option to create another incarnation as a Bard with the upcoming patch on February 15th.
I can't provide much details about the future layers of the Astral until official patch notes are released although there won't be any feature that locks one's leveling progression..
JoeyMMO, since it sounds like you actively play right now, you most likely have checked out the minisite for Patch 3.0 which covers the main features. Any further details will be released in patch notes close to Patch 3.0's release date. The next two weeks will fly by very fast!

I had quite some fun during beta, until the cash shop came in. Terrible decision. Because of that major mistake I don't want to play the game anymore.

If you are here to honestly answer questions and try to build support for the game by helping players and being honest about mistakes and shortcomings, Glad to have you! I wish more companies would be involved in gaming sites.
If you are here to cover up the bad stuff and lie to get a few subs, I hope you suffer the curse of the soft poo for 12 weeks.
If you would like to see a bad example of a game rep on these boards, head over to the Mortal Online section and see how GM Theia announced vet rewards coming in a week and then two months later when it was brought back up, posts get deleted and the rep ignores questions about it. I have not seen a good example to point you to. Maybe you can fix that for me?
Good Luck PioPico, I wish you well

Hello and welcome,
I have only played Allods for a short time a couple of hours here and there when I get tired of other MMO's. But I find the graphics rather outdated. Are there any plans to improve the engine? my PC can run almost anything. This would certainly encourage me to play it more.
Seems like a solid game I just find it hard to immerse myself into.
Good Luck with the MMORPG.com community,

Thanks for the wishes, Talonsin! I definitely want to avoid the curse of the soft poo for 12 weeks so I'll do my best to avoid that at all costs. =P
The purpose of me reaching out to you guys isn't to wave a giant flag that says "Play Allods Online and nothing else!"
If you browse this forum section you'll see some players referencing features about the game that existed in the past that don't exist anymore so I just want to make sure information that circulates around this community is the correct information about the current state of the game. I simply want to comment on your experiences or what you have heard, and if Allods Online seems like the game you would be interested in, then that's a double combo win!

Them honey badgers
I enjoyed playing allods before Gipat patch but now :( becuase I hate grinding and seeing other players having OP items because of a simple item shop which makes me feel eh? what I have to buy this item to do damage? no thank you man I am not even checking this game anymore unless this item removed from the game like the old days in allods where gears ruled not some cheap item from cash shop.
and do not take it as an offense because allods still one of my favorite games but cash shop ruined hard, unless you follow league of legend cash shop then ill go back and play allods.
I just came back to the game after a long break. Let me say that the developers are doing a great job. Everything from its visuals, animations, world design and strong feeling of journey is outstanding. I also took a look at the cash-shop. Its pricing feels way more reasonable. I also loved the tweak done to the XP scrolls, they're now a bonus pool instead of a bonus over time. My main complain is related to the grind. I saw you removed the fatigue system but it doesn't get any better.
Durray, I'm surprised that you mentioned the graphics are outdated. Something that really shines is the graphics and visual details throughout the entire game whether it's physical environment, character animations, or item effects. Some zones look cooler than others but there is a lot of detail put into making the game look stunning.
And thanks! The MMORPG community has provided really good feedback and have been very constructive.
Newbihack, which Item Shop items are you referring to? Are you referring to runes? Runes provide added effects of increased damage dealt and reduced damage taken although they don't replace pure PvP skills. I remember PvPing in one of the end-game zones called Melting Isle. I was faced against another player who had lower level runes than me, and he beat me. =)
Greenzor, I saw you post earlier and you've posted again that you've come back to check the game out. Awesome!
There have been a significant amount of changes including the removal of the fatigue system which happened late last year. It definitely makes the leveling experience more fluid since you don't have to visit the Goblin Innkeeper to redeem your fatigue experience. I've come across some players in the past who wasn't sure how the fatigue system worked, so it was a nice change to make the game more player-friendly. Yes, the change of the experience scrolls from Scrolls of Knowledge to Tomes of Knowledge was also a nice change. We didn't want players to feel rushed to kill as many monsters as they can within a 30-minute time frame so allowing this scroll to stay active until worn off from killing X amount of monsters let's players play at a more comfortable rate.

This cheap item from the item shop you're referring to, is that perfume/incense? That item is still there, but the damage bonus (+200% with level 4 patron) does not require incense to be active, the associated stat bonus does not require incense to be active. The only reason you need active incense is for some of the special martyr skills and for access to the astral allods.
Moreover 24 hours worth of incense can be gotten for free each day with a quest that takes only a few minutes to complete. And 4 hours worth of incense also comes with the skinnies daily (martyr's blessing +15% int/str and stam for 4 hours). The Gipat patch broke a lot which isn't anywhere near as bad now. I remember those 'incense required to play' days, now it's free and not even required except for Astral and maybe PvP. I certainly don't use one every day and I'm at cap with my main (47).

Whit's Knits: Perfect Fit Socks
I think hand knit socks are one of life's underrated pleasures. Like juicy watermelon on a steamy day or good rainboots in a downpour, hand knit socks make everything okay!
I designed these Perfect Fit Socks to wrap your feet in extra deep comfort. For an honestly perfect fit, the toe shapes around your toes with no ouchy seams; the length of the sock is customized to your foot (size charts included); the heel has cozy slip stitch padding; and the leg and top of the foot conform wonderfully to any body, thanks to 2 x 2 ribbing.
And for truly happy feet, I turned to Anzula's latest creation, Cloud. Cloud is a beautiful blend of superwash merino (for softness and structure), nylon (for durability), and cashmere (for dreamy goodness). This yarn is so lightweight and fine that you can look forward to hand knit socks that will actually fit in your shoes! And, at a whopping 575 yards a skein, the best news is you'll only need one!
These socks are sized for men and women, so, while you may want to get started on a pair for yourself, don't forget dad! Father's Day is around the corner, and in the thoughtful present category, nothing beats hand knit socks. Let him know it's time to kick his feet up!
You can purchase a copy of our Perfect Fit Socks Pattern right here, to choose a skein of Cloud, just click here!
Thanks! -Whitney

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — On her first day as the new Miss America, Nina Davuluri dipped her toes into the Atlantic City surf.
But hours earlier, she had to dive headfirst into the complex challenges of becoming the first Miss America of Indian heritage.
Moments after winning, Davuluri had her first test as Miss America: The first question she was asked in a news conference was about social media users who were upset that someone of Indian heritage had won.
"I have to rise above that," said Davuluri. "I always viewed myself as first and foremost American."
She said she is delighted that the nearly century-old pageant sees beauty and talent of all kinds.
"I'm so happy this organization has embraced diversity," she said. "I'm thankful there are children watching at home who can finally relate to a new Miss America."
Davuluri's pageant platform was "celebrating diversity through cultural competency." Her talent routine was a Bollywood fusion dance.
The 24-year-old is the second Asian-American winner, after Angela Perez-Baraquio, who is of Filipino descent, and won in 2001.
Davuluri, a native of Syracuse, N.Y., wants to be a doctor and is applying to medical school, with the help of a $50,000 scholarship she won as part of the pageant title.
She is the second consecutive Miss New York to win the Miss America crown, succeeding Mallory Hagan, who was selected in January.
Monday morning, she took the traditional ocean frolic dip in the Atlantic City surf in front of Boardwalk Hall, where she won the title hours earlier. The pageant, which originated in Atlantic City 1921, spent the last six years in Las Vegas before returning to New Jersey.
"Welcome home, Miss America!" Davuluri said as she stood barefoot in the shallow surf, wearing a lime green Miss America T-shirt and white shorts. "We're back in Atlantic City!"
Her grandmother told The Associated Press that she cried when she saw the news on television.
"I am very, very happy for the girl. It was her dream and it was fulfilled," 89-year-old Vege Koteshwaramma said by phone from her home in the city of Vijaywada, in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.
She said there are numerous doctors in the family, both in the U.S. and India, and that if her granddaughter wants to become one, "I am sure she will do it."
Asked about her granddaughter appearing in a bikini, given the conservative attitudes about such things in India, Koteshwaramma said: "I haven't seen any such thing. This must be all part of the competition."
Davuluri had planned to go to the scene of a devastating boardwalk fire in the New Jersey communities of Seaside Park and Seaside Heights on Monday afternoon. But pageant officials canceled that visit after learning that Gov. Chris Christie was making cabinet officials available at that same time to business owners victimized by the fire.
Davuluri will visit at an unscheduled future date, pageant officials said.
Instead, she was headed to New York City to prepare for a slew of TV talk show appearances, and planned to take in Broadway musicals over the next several days. On Tuesday, she will see "Pippin." On Wednesday, she will meet former Miss America (and fellow Syracuse native) Vanessa Williams and see "The Trip To Bountiful," a play in which Williams appears.
Williams was the first black Miss America in 1984, but she resigned after Penthouse magazine published nude photographs of her.

Maryland Bay Game Now Accepting Sponsors for Summer 2012
2012 marks 15 years of providing children with fun, environmental activities
Annapolis, Md. (January 17, 2011) – The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) invites citizens, businesses and organizations to become sponsors of the 2012 Maryland Bay Game. Through games, trivia, puzzles and outdoor activities, this award-winning natural resources activity book has inspired kids to learn about and connect with their natural world for the past 15 years.
"We are very pleased with the long term success of the Maryland Bay Game," said DNR Secretary John Griffin "It is only because of our generous sponsors that we are able to continue to teach our children the importance of becoming responsible and informed stewards."
The publication is sought-after by tens of thousands of families, civic and community groups, scouting organizations, environmentalists and educators throughout Maryland and the region. One-quarter million print copies were distributed statewide in 2011 through public libraries, welcome centers, State Parks and public schools. An electronic version of the Bay Game is also available on the DNR website, which receives over 1.5 million unique visitors annually.
While the Bay Game is written and designed by DNR staff, printing and distribution is paid for entirely by sponsors. There are several opportunities for businesses to sponsor the Bay Game through logos, website exposure, full and half-page sponsorships, advertising coupons and more. Donations are tax deductible, though sponsors should review the requirements outlined in IRS Publication 526 and consult their tax advisor.
In 2008, Governor O'Malley signed an Executive Order establishing the Maryland Partnership for Children in Nature, a program that is being used as a national model of environmental education and awareness. This coalition of State, local, private and non-profit partners is charged with promoting the well-being of young people by accelerating environmental learning and expanding opportunities for outdoor experiences. The 2012 Maryland Bay Game will reinforce this commitment to the development of Maryland children as future stewards.
For more information please visit dnr.state.md.us/baygame/ or contact Jill Kubatko at 410-260-8007 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

A national leader in land conservation, DNR-managed parks and natural, historic and cultural resources attract 11 million visitors annually. DNR is the lead agency in Maryland's effort to restore the Chesapeake Bay, the state's number one environmental priority.

text: Robert Reich: If any three people are most responsible for the failure of financial regulation, they are Greenspan, Larry Summers, and my former colleague, Bob Rubin. In 1999 they advised Congress to repeal the Glass-Steagall Act, which since 1933 had separated commercial from investment banking. By 1999, Wall Street was salivating over such a repeal because it wanted to create financial supermarkets that could use commercial deposits to place bets in the financial casino. That would yield the Street trillions.

I have not been on this forum for so long - someone surely must have mentioned W W Jacobs's The Monkey's Paw in connection with Pet Sematary. It had been the scariest thing I had ever read before reading PS.
Is anyone else scared to get out of bed at night while reading one of SK's books? I used to be, while reading his first books. (And the fact that my husband was sleeping peacefully next to me did not help.)

October arriving means it is time for Homecoming again at area high schools.
Although Homecoming festivities have become much-anticipated traditions, yearbooks from past years reveal there was not always a Homecoming at Elkin High School.
Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, there was a football game that was celebrated early in the semester, but it did not carry a particular name.
The school also crowned a Football Queen who was elected and voted for by the student body. This tradition carried on until 1953 when the first Homecoming Queen was crowned and the dance was held after school. Since 1953, there has been a Homecoming game and a dance held to celebrate the crowning of a new queen.
Although Homecoming is a time of fun and celebration, the preparation before the festivities takes several weeks. Homecoming attendants are nominated and elected by the student body and the dance and meal are planned weeks in advance by students with help from sponsoring teachers.
The marching band spends hours practicing songs and movements on the field. Attendants also meet to practice marching in during the half-time show and to take pictures for the yearbook. The football team prepares for the game by practicing throughout the semester and students pump them up at a pep rally on the day of the game.
After the pep rally, the fun begins as Homecoming attendants get ready for the parade. During the parade, the attendants ride in cars and wave to the crowd.
At the game that evening during half-time, the attendants are escorted onto the field and presented to everyone. Whether Elkin wins or loses the game, the next night is an official celebration, and a dance is held at the Elkin Elementary gymnasium which has been decorated earlier in the week by students and staff.
That night the Homecoming Queen and King are crowned and enjoy a special dance together.
Although preparing for Homecoming is a great deal of work, students and staff feel it is worth all of the effort.
"It's great fun to get dressed up and hang out with friends," said Elkin High School senior, Hailey Mounce.
Elkin High School will celebrate Homecoming on Friday, Oct. 5, with a parade beginning at 4:00 and a football game against North Wilkes starting at 7:30. The Homecoming dance will be held on Saturday from 8:00 until 12:00 with an admission price of ten dollars.
This story was written in connection with the Elkin High School Journalism Club. The Club was created by The Tribune to help display student writing.

The past 2 nights I've woken up and had a very mild pain on the right side. It went away after a little while and and I didn't feel it again until the next evening when it was the same kind of deal. Could it be regular pg pain, that maybe I'm sitting or laying in a way that smooshes things together, or is this something to be concerned about? Since the feeling goes away so fast, I'm hesistant to go in, because I know test #'s can fluctuate, and I'm betting if they would be bad, it would only be right when I was feeling that mild pain. (And it is very mild). Thoughts?
(Oh-and I have no other symptoms at this point..bp is great, no headache, swelling, etc..)

Kent State University Downtown Gallery presents Recent Landscapes: Works by Doug Unger, Ben Bassham and Charles BashamPosted Aug. 30, 2013
Kent State University Downtown Gallery will present "Recent Landscapes: Works by Doug Unger, Ben Bassham and Charles Basham" from Sept. 4 through Oct. 5 in the Downtown Gallery. The gallery will host an opening reception on Thursday, Sept. 5th from 5-7 p.m., which is free and open to the public. The gallery is located at 141 E. Main St. in downtown Kent.
The Downtown Gallery is excited to highlight the works of these three talented affiliates of Kent State University. Each of them has a unique and beautiful sense of the world around them. Inspired by their surroundings, this exhibition displays their recent landscape works.
Ben Bassham, an emeritus Professor of Art History at Kent State University, retired in 1999. After 30 years of teaching, he now devotes his time to his love of painting. Bassham's colorful and realistic views of the landscape reflect his travels to diverse areas. He is drawn to the striking New Mexico deserts and mountains and the coastlines of Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. He has also traveled numerous times to Italy. Bassham studied art at the University of Arkansas and pursed graduate studies in Art History at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. In addition to painting, he has written three books, edited two other and published numerous scholarly articles. He and his family spend a month of the year in Taos and live in Kent, OH.
Doug Unger is also an emeritus Professor of Art at Kent State University, where he taught painting and drawing for 35 years. He studied at the Cleveland Institute of Art and the Cape School of Art and completed his graduate studies at Syracuse University.
Unger has won numerous Ohio Arts Council Grants and in 2005 and received an Ohio Heritage Award in 2004. In 1993 he was also awarded a National Endowment Prize. As a landscape painter in both oils and pastels, Unger explores man's stewardship of the land found in the Amish Farms in the Holmes County Village of Charm, Ohio. He is an artist, craftsman and traditional musician, living and working in Peninsula, Ohio.
Charles Basham, a current Kent State University adjunct faculty, has been making art for 30 years. Basham received both his BFA and MFA from Kent State University. Throughout his career, Basham has become more and more attuned to the subtle changes in weather and atmosphere. He captures dramatic and compelling moments of morning and evening light over the farmlands of the Midwest and the marshes and beaches of the low country in South Carolina. Basham resides in Ohio on the family farm where he grew up.

One thing that is very much popular is using swivel bar stools in home bar areas. The reason behind using such stools is that they offer easy and convenient access for a quick snack or meal. Moreover, they even take up lesser space compared to the traditional chairs. This means they offer convenient solutions to those homeowners who do not have enough space in the homes.
Types of Swivel Bar Stools
These types of stools are generally higher than the traditional chairs and usually all of them have no back. These types of stools are readily available in various types and they are popular in the commercial terms.
Swivel bar stools also have legs that are fixed position and also a seat base that is easily rotatable from every side. Few models also consist of bases that will enable the seat to move from right to left , whereas some of the models can rotate in complete circle. A conventional swivel bar stool can turn 360 degrees for easy operation. These stools are usually found in restaurants, bars and game rooms. Click here for more idea and bar stools to choose from.
Factors to Consider
When you are about to purchase a swivel bar stool, you should think about the height. If you have a counter that is taller in length of around 48 inches then you can use a stool of height of 38 inches maximum. The main thing to consider is to leave a space of around 10 inches between the stool and the counter so that you can move easily in the space given.
You can even avail the option of adjustable stool that can work on the tables of all sizes. Swivel bar stools come in various styles and designs that are completely helpful for the homeowners to search the bar stools for their house. They are available in several materials like metal, wood, plastic or seats with vinyl or fabric. They are found in every color that is imaginable and many of them are made to match the current décor. They are also known as saddle bar stools and because of the benefits mentioned above make them popular in the homeowners.

My husbands 20 year old cousin is participating in a small local fair beauty pageant tonight. The interview portion was yesterday. She let me know after her interview that she had chosen preeclampsia awareness as her platform. In her interview she mentioned paricipating in the Promise Walk. She also told the judges that educating women was very important. She told my daughter's and my story when asked why she chose that as a platform. She was there in the hours/days after DD was born, before we were stable, so she knows the seriousness and it really affected her.
I'm not much of a pageant person but I'm really proud of her and honored. I didn't even suggest this as her platform. Like I said, it's small and local but it means a lot!
So, the pageant is tonight. Please keep you fingers crossed for Courtney!

Toronto, ON (SportsNetwork.com) - The Toronto Raptors made it official with Brazilian center Lucas "Bebe" Nogueira and point guard Will Cherry on Sunday.
Per team policy, contract details were not disclosed.
Nogueira, 22, was drafted 16th overall in 2013 by Boston and traded on draft night to the Atlanta Hawks. He spent all of last season playing for Asefa Estudiantes of the Liga ACB, where he averaged 6.3 points and 4.1 boards in his third season with the club.
Nogueira was traded to Toronto along with Lou Williams in exchange for John Salmons and a future draft pick on June 30. He played with the Raptors in the Las Vegas Summer League and put up 5.0 points and 5.8 rebounds in five games.
Cherry played with Cleveland in the Summer League and was overshadowed by high profile youngsters Andrew Wiggins and Anthony Bennett, but more than held his own. He scored 12.8 points per game on 52.1 percent shooting in five games.
A four-year player out of Montana, Cherry went undrafted in 2013 and played for the D-League's Canton Charge last season.

Ashe battled hard for four quarters against the Pioneers, but could not pull off the upset, falling 43-32.
Watauga held a slim 19-18 lead at halftime, much different than when the teams met previously in Boone. Watauga jumped to a huge lead and was never tested down the stretch.
This time around, Ashe was going to give its rival all they could.
The Pioneers went to the fourth quarter with a 28-27 lead, leaving Ashe right there in stricking distance.
The Huskies continued playing solid defense, but the offense just was not there in the fourth quarter as Watauga outscored the home team 15-5 to take the 11-point win.
Jordan Spell was Ashe's high scorer with eight points and three steals. Matthew Lee added six points and four rebounds while fellow junior Cullen Ashley scored six points and led all Husky players with five rebounds.
Johnathan Cox scored four points, Eli Gambill added three, Seth Sheets scored three and Alex Laws added two points.
Senior Anderson Moore had to leave the game with an injury sustained diving after a lose ball. Moore would not return.
West Wilkes 48, Ashe 39
The Huskies wrapped up the first half of the Mountain Valley Conference schedule with a road game at West Wilkes on Friday.
Much like the Watauga game, Ashe was step-for-step with its opponent for three quarters, but struggled to find its groove in the fourth.
The game was tied at 14 at the half before West Wilkes moved out in front by three after the third quarter. The Blackhawks outscored Ashe 13-7 in the fourth to pull away.
Spell was the leading scorer again. The senior scored eight points and pulled down five rebounds. Gambill dropped in seven points and led the team with six rebounds. Cox scored six, Zach Lawrence added five and Lee finished with four. Ashley and Sheets scored three each and Devan Sheets rounded out the Ashe scoring with three.
The Huskies are 4-1 overall and 3-5 in the MVAC.
Ashe will have Tuesday off this week before hosting rival Wilkes Central on Friday.

It's New Year's Eve — time to get out the bubbly, steal a midnight kiss, watch the ball drop in Times Square, and hope the pressure doesn't build too much to have the most epic night ever. Maybe instead you want to leave the partying to the amateurs and spend the night in with one of these great (and terrible) movies about what can be the best or worst night of the year. From all time classics like The Apartment to not so great movies like New Year's Eve, here are five flicks to get you through to 2013.
When Harry Met Sally – It's the rom-com that begot all rom-coms of our time, this Rob Reiner classic is filed with so many one liners and memorable moments, I find myself reenacting this scene every time I'm at Katz's Deli in New York. But seriously, Mindy Kaling isn't the only one who was fed on Nora Ephron films. Of course, the final New Year's Eve scene is the climactic moment when Harry furiously runs through the abandoned streets of New York as "It Had to Be You" plays in the background has set the standard for every romantic scene in every movie we've seen since then.
The Poseidon Adventure – The classic action film starring a very young Gene Hackman follows the passengers of the SS Poseidon after their ship has been overturned from a massive tsunami. As the clock strikes midnight, guests are drinking, dancing and celebrating the New Year as usual. The next moment, their lives are literally turned upside down, as the guests try to find a way safely out of the capsized ship. Now that's a way to start the new year!
200 Cigarettes – Even though this film takes place in 1981 in New York City, 200 Cigarettes could not seem more like a '90s Gen X film. Courtney Love? Check. Janeane Garofalo? Check. Cynicism? Check. Kevin, played by the never-aging Paul Rudd, laments how New Year's Eve creates "an obligation to enjoy oneself." We have to admit, this is pretty true. As much as we are excited about 2013, there is always pressure to make the night of the most memorable event as possible. But if Paul Rudd were at our party, we would not be complaining.

Four musicians sat facing each other with their guitars in hand at the center of the room, sharing stories and singing songs they wrote while a crowd gathered to listen.
The musicians, who performed at the Winyah Indigo Hall in Georgetown on Friday, April 4, were Phillip Lammonds, Ruth Collins, Brett Jones and Edwin McCain.
The event, which raised about $50,000, benefitts Healthy Learners, a faith-based non-profit organization that connects children to care so that poor health is not an obstacle to doing well in school.
The event was catered by Chive Blossom Cafe with additional food and beverage donors including Manifesto! and Pawleys Island Wine and Spirits.
It is a favorite event for local music lovers.
"This is my favorite event of the whole year," said Dr. Owen Johnson, owner of Indigo Vision Center in Georgetown.
"I wouldn't miss it."
About the performers
Featured artists for the event were well-known songwriters.
Edwin McCain is an entrepreneur who has launched major fundraising events as well as runs his own businesses and television productions.
His songs "I'll Be" and "I Could Not Ask for More" were radio top 40 hits in the U.S., and five of his albums have reached the Billboard 200.
Ruth Collins signed a publishing and record contract with Curb Music in 2011.
She currently lives in Nashville with her husband and is working on her debut album.
Brett Jones is a country music singer/songwriter with notable recordings "You Gotta Love That" by Neal McCoy and "Cover You in Kisses" by John Michael Montgomery. He is also a successful publisher with notable copyrights, "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" by Tracy Adkins and "Put a Girl In It" by Brooks and Dunn.
Phillip Lammonds, now a local, is one of the original members of the Blue Dogs. He has penned numerous tunes for, or with, artists like Darius Rucker, Edwin McCain, Blake Shelton, Josh Turner, Hootie and the Blowfish, Lee Brice, Kelly Pickler and others.
About Healthy Learners
Since opening its office in 2009 and working with Georgetown County schools, Healthy Learners Georgetown has helped more than 900 children receive for than 4,700 medical services and traveled more than 100,000 miles transporting children to appointments.
According to the organization's website, www.healthylearners.com/georgetown/,
the Healthy Learners Georgetown program serves elementary, middle and high school students who are without resources and are in need.
This includes students who are covered by Medicaid. Transportation to and from school to appointments is a unique and vital link to the success of the Healthy Learners program.
An overview of the needs of the children of Georgetown County outlines several important facts, the website states.
The Small Area Health Insurance Estimates program states that 14.2 percent of residents under the age of 18 are uninsured.
According to the State Department of Education's website, approximately 60 percent of the students in Georgetown County qualified for free and reduced lunch in 2008.
The 2008 Kid's Count data reports that 75.3 percent of parents with children ages 6 to 17 years were in the labor force, however 26.6 percent of children in the same age group lived in poverty. Children in single parent families made up 73.6 percent of all the county's children living in poverty. Also according to Kid's Count data, 28 percent of students do not graduate from school.
"Families with children who are without resources are often unable to meet the financial obligations of health care and the lack of transportation makes health care access even more difficult," said Rebecca Lammonds, the Georgetown coordinator.
"The Healthy Learners staff is committed to eliminating health barriers to learning for the children of Georgetown County by providing access to health care."

Whoever wrote this should be fired. Too many typo's. At least change the jailbreak list to greenpois0n
Jailbreak basics: Everything you need to know for iPhone and iPad
We see quite a few questions in our Jailbreak Forums about jailbreak basics. So, we've decided to compile a master list of some basic jailbreak magic right here in one place. Hopefully this will help a lot of you beginner jailbreakers learn the ropes (and maybe even help some of you decide whether the leap to the jailbreak world has its advantages for you). We've included common jailbreak lingo, popular jailbreak apps and tools, and videos highlighting some awesome jailbreak utilities!
Common ways to Jailbreak
There are usually several ways to Jailbreak depending exactly when a new version of iOS is released, when a new exploit is found, and when new Jailbreaks are released. Some are one-button easy, others command-line complicated. Here are the latest and the simplest.
If you're not sure, here's how to find out which iOS software and iPhone modem firmware you're running.
iOS 5.0 & 5.0.1 (GSM/CDMA) Jailbreak (untethered)
- How to jailbreak iOS 5.0 & 5.0.1 via Greenpois0n Absinthe - iPhone 4S and iPad 2 users (Mac only so far)
- How to jailbreak iOS 5.0 & 5.0.1 via redsn0w CLI 0.4.3 - Windows only - iPhone 4S and iPad 2 users
- How to jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 via redsn0w - A4 users only (no support for iPhone 4S and iPad 2)
iOS 5 & 5.0.1 (GSM/CDMA) Jailbreak (tethered)
iOS 5 & 5.0.1 (GSM) Unlock
iOS 4.3.3 (AT&T/GSM) Jailbreak (untethered)
- How to jailbreak iOS 4.3.3 via JailbreakMe (including iPad 2)
- How to Jailbreak iOS 4.3.3 with redsn0w
iOS 4.2.6 (Verizon) Jailbreak (untethered)
AppleTV Jailbreak
Common Jailbreak Terms
The most obvious of all terms, but yet the most confused. Jailbreaking simply allows users to have access to certain core functionality that Apple doesn't give us stock. A jailbreak also gives users access to applications Apple may have rejected via Cydia. It also allows custom loading of apps (on Android, loading applications yourself is referred to as side-loading, just as rooting is to Android, jailbreak is to iPhone). On the iPhone you can use the SSH method or use iPhone Explorer. Jailbreaking allows customization at its core meaning, but shouldn't be confused with unlocking.
Unlocking your iPhone allows you to use it on any GSM carrier. Simply meaning, if you have an AT&T iPhone, unlocking it will allow you to use it on T-Mobile USA or even Rogers Wireless in Canada by simply inserting a different SIM card. A lot of jailbreakers will unlock their iPhones not only to use on a different carrier, but to increase resale value. The unlock process can change from firmware to firmware but typically, you'll need to jailbreak your phone and then install a program via Cydia like ultrasn0w or yellowsn0w, which will then unlock your iPhone.
Apple has the App Store, jailbreakers have Cydia in addition to the default App Store. And if you want to be technical, Cydia was THE first App Store. It was available with iOS 1.x and allowed jailbreakers to download apps before the App Store even existed. Those who jailbroke their first generation iPhones on 1.x have seen several jailbreak ideas and concepts become parts of iOS. We would mention Rock here, but seeing as Cydia acquired Rock, there's probably no point now. Another term you may hear when it comes to Cydia is repos, or repositories. These are simply sources you add in the manage section. ModMyi and BigBoss are two of the largest. They are already added when you install Cydia. You are always welcome to add custom repos if you choose. I highly advise only adding repos from trusted sources. If you have a weird feeling about adding it, I'd probably pass.
Recovery Mode/DFU Mode
Many people still confuse these two terms. They ARE different. There IS an easy way to tell which mode your phone is in. If your screen shows a connect to iTunes logo with a slide for emergency option, you are in recovery mode. If the slide for emergency option is not there and you only see the connect to iTunes logo, you are in DFU mode (DFU mode can also present as a blank screen as well).
The main difference between these two modes is what they will and won't bypass for installs. Recovery mode will implement iBoot (basically a portion of the bootloader than runs an integrity check) which will not allow you to downgrade your device. DFU mode will still talk to iTunes but it bypasses iBoot which will then allow you to downgrade firmware. Most jailbreaks will require DFU mode for these reasons. To enter DFU mode, you will follow these steps:
- Turn off your iPhone
- Hold down your power and home buttons
- Release the power button when the Apple logo appears, but continue holding down the home button. You should be presented with a Connect to iTunes logo.
- Plug in your phone and iTunes should yell at you and say you must restore the device before it can be used.
SHSH Blobs
A lot of people ask about this one and why Cydia wants to save them. When you upgrade firmware in iTunes, you'll see at the top when you start a restore "Verifying restore with Apple". Apple only signs current firmware versions. If you accidentally upgrade and then try to downgrade, your restore will fail. SHSH blobs save you from this headache. It will basically give iTunes a fake hand to shake, which in turn, makes iTunes think your restore has been verified. This can be a life saver if you accidentally upgrade and need to downgrade. TinyUmbrella will save SHSH blobs to the Cydia server as well. I highly recommend saving your blobs for every firmware version in case you ever find yourself in this predicament. We have posted a guide on how to save SHSH blobs via TinyUmbrella.
The baseband is essentially the part of your device that controls the antennae. This has everything to do with your service and signal. This is why most unlockers have to be extremely careful when upgrading. If the baseband changes, it can permanently keep them from achieving an unlock. This is the main reason most unlockers tend to favor PwnageTool. It creates a custom firmware bundle for you to upgrade to that doesn't upgrade the baseband, only the main OS. If you are running on a legitimate carrier and don't care about unlocking, the baseband it typically less of a concern. Wifi and Bluetooth don't run on the baseband either, so iPod touch or iPad owners typically don't have concerns when it comes to new baseband versions.
On a desktop you have a desktop, on an iPhone you have a springboard. It's basically the interface you constantly interact with. Another term you'll come in contact with is respringing. This is basically the act of restarting the springboard. Some jailbreak apps you install will require you to do this. All changes in the appearance of your phone via Winterboard (explained below) will require a respring as well. It's nothing more than refreshing your desktop on a computer.
Common Jailbreak Utilities
A lot of people jailbreak for the ability to change the look of their iPhone. Enter Winterboard, which is a free download via Cydia. It's a necessary utility to install themes and most customizations. Many veteran jailbreakers will remember the days of Summerboard as well. Winterboard took its place a few years back and improved upon several things. When you install a theme, all the components will show up in Winterboard. Depending upon how a theme developer decided to bundle their theme, you may have only one package in Winterboard, or you may have several. I personally prefer when developers separate theme elements. Since Winterboard works as a hierarchy, I can select a theme and if I don't like the sounds, I can download a sound pack I "do" like and apply that in Winterboard. The key is to move it above the main theme so it overrides the sounds I don't want. I highly suggest jailbreakers to become very familiar and comfortable with Winterboard. If you do, there is no limit to what you can do to your phone and you'll be able to tweak and customize even the littlest details of your springboard.
This free utility allows you to add quick toggles that will drop down onto your springboard. There are also several plug-ins and themes you can download for SBSettings as well. It'll also allow you to hide icons you don't want or use. This is especially useful for hiding stock apps you can't uninstall. I hide the default weather and stock apps among others that are simply wasting space on my springboard. You'll also be able to more closely keep tabs on your memory and running processes. This was extremely useful before multitasking. It's still useful today for freeing up memory and seeing what may be eating through battery or slowing your phone down.
Prior to 3.x, iOS didn't cache icons in a way that created issues. The problem now with 3.x and beyond is the way the file system caches icons. When you switch themes, sometimes you'll notice certain icons don't change or they stay stuck on the last theme you had active. Prior to iWipecache, you had to SSH into your phone and delete the cache in certain folders and respring. iWipecache simplifies this process and does it for you on the go. It's a free utility and something I'd highly recommend to anyone who likes to change UI elements and themes frequently. If there is ever a time iWipeCache doesn't work, especially under iOS 4.x, try going into Winterboard and toggling Summerboard mode on and off, then respringing. This seems force even the most stubborn icons to change.
Open SSH is a utility that allows SSH access to your device. You can then use an SSH client to access your device's main file system for editing. Simpler utilities now exist, such as iPhone explorer which you'll download to your PC or Mac. When you plug your iPhone, iPod, or iPad in, it will bring up the file system and you can edit without SSH access. I recommend using a utility like iPhone explorer over SSH as it's safer. SSH can open you up to hackers and give others access to your file system if you forget to disable it. SSH is also a huge battery hog. The only benefit is that you don't have to have your phone plugged in to SSH. You must be plugged in to use a utility like iPhone explorer. If you decide to use the SSH option, make sure to change your iPhone root and user passwords. You can visit our Jailbreak Forums if you need help doing this.
Notification Replacement Apps
There are more than a few choices when it comes to selecting a notification app. LockInfo, Intelliscreen, and Notified Pro are all acceptable selections. Most offer trials so it's really up to personal preference. I'm a major fan of LockInfo and find it much more user friendly than Intelliscreen. Notified Pro has also been gaining some ground and continues to add many improvements as well. Since Apple has yet to improve upon their notification system, I highly suggest checking these out and implementing one of them. You'll be happy you did. I've already posted a guide to setting up LockInfo so be sure to check that out as well.
SMS Apps and Add-Ons
There are many apps that improve SMS capabilities as well. I personally use BiteSMS but apps such as TLert and iRealSMS are more than acceptable candidates as well. QuickReply for SMS is also a good app but be warned that the developer has decided to not continue with it. It's rumored to go free (if it hasn't already). So if you're okay with the current bugs and don't expect updates, it may be an acceptable option for you. Most of these apps allow you to reply quickly to texts without it interrupting your work-flow. They'll also allow you to create gestures on the springboard which will allow you to quickly send an SMS without ever leaving the current app you're already in.
Many users are left bitter when certain carriers want to charge them an additional fee just for the privilege of tethering. MyWi is a wonderful little app and in my opinion, a major reason to jailbreak on its own. MyWi alllows you to create a wifi hotspot with your iPhone. I have a wifi only iPad and I never even considered purchasing the 3G version. I simply tether my iPad to my iPhone. Just be wary of doing this if you don't have an unlimited data plan. As of writing this, MyWi currently costs $19.99. It may seem like a hefty price tag but you'll pay that in data and/or tethering fees in less than 2 months. You'll only pay for MyWi once. You do the math.
Similar to MyWi, this app is a tweak that allows you to lift certain restrictions carriers and Apple have in place. It will allow you to trick your phone into thinking you have a wifi connection when you are really on the carrier network. This trick comes in handy if you need to download an app over 20MB and aren't in range of wifi. It also allows you to use FaceTime over 3G as well. There is also another app called 3G Unrestrictor which will also allow you to make FaceTime calls over 3G.

Jailbreak basics: Everything you need to know for iPhone and iPad
@Orangesn0w fixed. any other "typos" you care to point out?
@Park if you create a wireless hotspot with MyWi and connect to it i thought that worked, but i just tried it and apparently not, will update. sorry about that.
@Chris - my3G will do the same thing, and is a more commonly known app but i will add 3G unrestrictor as well
"respiring" should be "respring". Latest Pwnagetool-created custom firmwares require you to put iPhone in DFU with Pwnagetool or redsn0w (regular DFU button sequence will result in an iTunes restore error).
@thunderkeys will check respring (iPad kept autocorrecting that i thought i caught all of them) - also, this article wasn't meant to be a "way to jailbreak/unlock" it's a guide to commonly used tools and terms, when we look at a guide for redsn0w or i do one, i will link to it but i purposely did not list it in this article.
greenpois0n was my bad, I pasted it in without double checking. Sorry Ally!
Awesome guide. #TeamJailbreak
TetherMe ($1.99) + iTether ($5) allows you to do Bluetooth tethering to iPod touch/iPad for cheaper than MyWi and more securely. However, you can only tether one device to your 3G connection at a time over Bluetooth. TetherMe also allows tethering via the USB cable for AT&T customers.
A few other nice JB apps:
- Infinifolders ($0.99) - allows more than 12 icons in a folder
- Infinidock ($0.99) - allows for a scrolling dock separate from pages
- Music Controls ($4.99) - better ipod controls from double-home tap, also enables A2DP bluetooth profiles on iOS < 4.1
- Recent/CallLog Delete ($1.49) - allows individual deletion of recent/placed calls
@iMuggle - Very nice job and well written! I guess you have to be PC to Orangesn0w, but content is what matters to most people :)This isn't English 101.
For whatever reason I've always used 3G Unrestrictor, but I'm sure My3G is just as good. Maybe mention iFile??
TeamJailbreak - what is taking Georgia so long???
Thanks guys, I'm making a list of applications as you guys give them and I'll make updates periodically to this and let you guys know on twitter when i do : )
Nice article. Good information.
Since you asked, you're confusing "it's" and "its".
Simply remember "it's" = "it is". The other is possessive.
It's a fine day when the iPhone uses its awesome power to save the world.
@Tmobile I know the difference. The iPad apparently doesn't ;) sometimes I type fast and it autocorrects things it should. Sigh...
Maybe explaining the term 'untethered' would be a good thing too... over and over again when I was debating the pros/cons of jailbreaking I kept running into that term and could never find a good explanation.
Actually.. scratch that.. not 'untethered'... what was that term i kept seeing... lemme go look it up.
bah.. maybe it was (differences between a tethered vs untethered jailbreak)... arrrggg... it's been a long week and it's only tuesday... shoot me now!
Great article!!!!, now we just need to get @Georgia to JUST DO IT!
July 26, 2010
The Copyright Office concluded that, "while a copyright owner might try to restrict the programs that can be run on a particular operating system, copyright law is not the vehicle for imposition of such restrictions."
Its Legal... read it in b/w...http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/threatlevel/2010/07/dmcaexemps.pdf
Ive only used iPhone explorer. Try phonedisk. iPhone explorer seems a little "buggy" to me, at least on Mac. It loses the connection quite often and you have to refresh. I still prefer SSH.
@cardfan I probably should have paid more attention while typing. I just recently started using the iPad to write articles. I promise I'll be better going forward about checking what it's auto correcting and how I fat finger things sometimes. : )
@anonymous it is not illegal and actually please post why not to jailbreak. I'd be interested in hearing that.
Great article. This is exactly why I visit TiPb.
P.S. I could care less about the typos and I wish everyone else would too. ;-)
Great article guys, typos or not. A problem with the jailbreak community whether intentional or not is that they use so many terms the average user has no idea about. This article fills in so many of the blanks.
We are lucky here in Australia, the iPhone is avaiable unlocked off the shelf and most carriers include tethering at no additional charge with quite reasonable data plans.
Something to improve the article would be a comment about 'unjailbreaking' if you need to take the phone into Apple for a warranty claim. Will Apple know the phone has been jailbroken?
Going to go over the article right now. I swear I don't think I've ever published an article with this many typos. It was the first article I wrote on my iPad. I don't think I'll be writing on it anymore. This is fracking terrible.
Alright guys, I just re-read the article and tried to weed out as many grammatical errors as possible. I hope I got them all, but I may have missed one or two. If you guys see anything else, please let me know.
I really do apologize for all the grammatical errors. Thank you to those of you sticking up for me, but in all honestly - it really isn't acceptable. I'm a writer and a key element of a writer is knowing the English language. If I continue to write on my iPad, I will definitely make sure my articles are read over 3 times or more before submitting from now on.
I apologize again guys.
One thing I have noticed when reading these articles about jailbreaking what the various methods none of them talk about how to upgrade your jailbroken phone. I'd like to take an existing jailbroken phone and the jailbroken settings I have setup in each app and upgrade to the lastest version (the GM would be nice) and then restore all my jailbroken apps and settings.
@Jason I'll look into it! Got a few posts i'm working on right now so it may be a week or 2 before something is up.
Great article! I would also really love some advice on upgrading iOS on my JB iPhone. Still on 3.1.2 because not sure the best way to upgrade to 4.1 or 4.2 this month. Thanks in advance if you get the chance. I think a lot of people are in this position.
Great article. You hinted at a common misconception that has plagued the jb community for years. SSH is not a battery hog. It does nothing when it is idle that would cause the battery to drain. It is most likely some other extension that is the hog and removing OpenSSH should be your last option. It has saved me from boot loops so many times; something that USB apps cannot do.
i'll take up anonymous' cause. you should not jailbreak because the apps in the store can render your device useless and uncovered by warranty. example: i read an article about installing scrolling wallpapers and installed it because I trusted tipb and its readers. guess what? fuked my phone all the way up. that pixel double sht on the retina display caused all apps to show in one tiny corner of the screen. couldn't select nothing. no phone calls. nothing. imagine if I was in an emergency situation! plus this! when i jailbroke i changed the password so people couldn't hack my phone but iTunes doean't recognize that sht. $500 brick! had to hack a hack to get my phone working. never again!
Plus some mo sht. My iPhone is still uncovered by warranty! When I was jailbroken I installed Make it Mine and put my name where AT&T is suppose to go. It's stuck like that! I ought to sue the F out of tipb!
"All you go to do is restore" is BS! Dont jailbreak if want to keep your warranty. I can't even sell it! Who wants an iPhone with some else's weird a s s name on it!
I repeat, "DON'T JAILBREAK!"
This is fantastic! I think you did a great job and I love the photos- it's extremely helpful. I have had ipod's and touches and every iphone, but I haven't ever jb any of the devices. I just recently did for my daughter's phone and your guide is extremely helpful! Thanks. I'm not the brave sort when it comes to my devices. I love them and I would rather not run the risk of destroying them so your guide is so very helpful- thanks.
For those asking, I believe the LockInfo theme was called LockInfo gloss. If you search that in Cydia it is the only thing that comes up.
I own an iPhone 4 currently with iOS 4.0.1 jailbroken. Cydia has not fed that once jailbroken not to update since it will lock the iPhone for good. Now iOS 4.2 Is out and would like to update to this version but am wary and unsure if the iPhone will turn out to be blocked. Is it possible that a jailbroken can be update and jailbreak again without updating the baseband....? I appreciate your response!!!
I personally find the Terminal app worth mentioning, and I'm surprised it's not on this list. Maybe it's not as useful on 3.2 and above (I have a first-gen iPhone with 3.1.3), but I use it regularly for command-line tasks, including manual repair of Cydia's APT/dpkg backend and dependencies when things go wrong. I also use it for quick file browsing, and for unzipping archives I've downloaded. Best of all, it's free :)
I have an Iphone 4 with the 4.2 OS .. Is there a way to jailbreak??
IF you have an old bootrom you can use redsn0w to get an untethered jb. AGAIN: IF YOU HAVE AN OLD BOOTROM.
IF not get tinyUmbrella (or what's it called now).
TinyUmbrella will change you're hosts file to trick iTunes in thinking, that its checking against its own server, while its acutally getting the SHSH-Blobs from Cydia.
You also need the old 4.1 ipsw file.
Google for: iphone 3GS restore old firmware
This will deliver several pages on how to do it.
New Jailbreak can be found at iphone blog.
Does MyWi support WPA2 encryption? Thanks in advance.
Thank you very much
that was a much useful topic for me
Very new at jailbreak and cydia...what is the process for getting a SB setting, is it activator, and if so how do you use this. I went into Addons and installed SBSetting Tethering Toggle. I'm not sure what this does, but hoping it allows me to drag down a window from the top of the screen to have quick access to
toggles. You stated by default if you swipe it will drop down. I need basic help with this, to make it functional, then I can use the video you have above on SBSettings,
Thanks for your patience
This is a very good article and gave me some really good information to know. I am looking for a site that will show me how to JAILBREAK my LG Smart TV Upgrader. If you know where one is, then send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com
how do you unlock an att iphone with a sim card to run on tmobile
Great article...thanks again for sharing this...I will be using a link to this article to my blog.
i need your help with my iPhone 4, after restore and JB my iphone, and also install few Cydia Apps, my springboard getting crashed and restarting in every few minutes.. what happened to it? i already looping my action (restore+JB) for few times but it always like that.. please help me?
thx :)
I am curious to find out what blog system you're using? I'm having some small security issues with my latest website and I would like to find something more secure. Do you have any suggestions?
Added Linux support. For the 3 iPad users who use Linux. Amazing.
I do not even know the way I finished up right here, however I thought this post used to be good. I don't know who you might be however certainly you're going to a famous blogger for those who aren't already. Cheers!
I will immediately snatch your rss as I can not to find your email subscription hyperlink or newsletter service. Do you have any? Please permit me realize so that I may just subscribe. Thanks.
Love this! The videos are awesome and really really helpful =) I've been often thinking about Jailbreaking my iPhone, but there were always the "what-if"s standing in the way. Now that I watched these few vids and read a few articles by you, it's clear that Jailbreaking is only as risky as you allow it to be.
And I am a customization freak, so this is simply PERFECT! Thanks for sharing :)
