The Christmas turkey has been digested and the New Year's sparklers have been tucked away for another year. It's time for the AFL's 18 teams to return to work.
New coach Phil Walsh must be doing something right! After three months in the job, there has been no inkling of a player revolt. Following the sacking of Walsh's predecessor Brenton Sanderson back in September, chairman Rob Chapman said mediocrity wouldn't be accepted at the club and some of the Crows' best players have embodied that mantra out on the training track. Patrick Dangerfield, Rory Sloane, Taylor Walker and Brad Crouch have all led by example and seem to be relishing Walsh's uncompromising focus on maintaining elite standards. Adelaide resumes pre-season training on Monday.
There is a huge buzz up at the Gabba following the Lions' brilliant off-season recruiting campaign and that enthusiasm has been evident in the way new signings Dayne Beams, Allen Christensen and Mitch Robinson have attacked pre-season. The trio have been very impressive and adding to the positive vibes at the club is the fact that Daniel Rich (knee), Jack Redden (ankle), Matthew Leuenberger (knee) and Brent Staker (calf), who only managed 22 games between them in 2014, all made it to the Christmas break unscathed. The Lions return to business on Monday.
Mick Malthouse's third pre-season in charge has gone a lot smoother than his second with almost a clean bill of health to report at Visy Park. New recruit Kristian Jaksch (foot) and Cameron Giles (foot) have been the only injury concerns – a far cry from last summer when the Blues had a whopping 19 players undergo surgery! Later this month they will head to Mount Buller for altitude training and it might also serve as a good chance to weed out any downhill skiers. Former skipper Chris Judd, Lachie Henderson, Levi Casboult and Tom Bell have been the standout performers to date. Carlton goes back to work on Tuesday.
After missing the finals for the first time since 2005, this looms as one of the Magpies' most important pre-seasons in almost a decade. And they're treating it accordingly. No chances are being taken with Scott Pendlebury (shoulder), Dane Swan (hip) and Brent Macaffer (knee) who have all been on modified programs while Ben Reid continues to recover from another calf injury. Former Cat Travis Varcoe and top-five pick Jordan De Goey have hit the ground running with their new club. The Pies return from their festive break on Monday.
Anti-doping tribunal hearing and James Hird's appeal aside, it's been a relatively quiet pre-season for the Bombers. Their annual high-altitude training camp was scaled back dramatically with only Jobe Watson, Cale Hooker, Michael Hurley and Michael Hibberd sent to Colorado. Tom Bellchambers is nearing full fitness after a second bout of ankle surgery in the space of nine months. New recruits Adam Cooney and James Gwilt starred on the track prior to the break. Essendon is back in action on Monday.
There was only ever going to be one result for a Ross Lyon-coached team that bombed out of the finals in straight sets – a gruelling pre-season. In fact, most of the Dockers probably only just recovered from their pre-Christmas slog. Unfortunately for them, they're back on the track on Monday! Encouragingly, elder statesmen Matthew Pavlich, Aaron Sandilands and Luke McPharlin were all strong performers. Nat Fyfe (shoulder) is expected to return to full training this week while Garrick Ibbotson (shoulder), Michael Johnson (back), Zac Clarke (knee), Anthony Morabito (knee) and Colin Sylvia (ankle) are all progressing well from their respective ailments.
The Cats also suffered the ignominy of wasting their double chance in the finals and after a season littered with late-game fadeouts, endurance running and improved fitness has been central to their pre-season. A time frame for Jackson Thurlow's return to full fitness after a nasty kidney injury sustained last month remains unclear. But big men Hamish McIntosh (knee), Dawson Simpson (back) and Nathan Vardy (knee) are making steady progress in their recoveries. Geelong returns from its Christmas break on Monday.
Rodney Eade has had a tough initiation as Suns coach with a host of his best players having injury-interrupted pre-seasons. Gary Ablett (shoulder), Jaeger O'Meara (knees), Dion Prestia (hamstring) and Harley Bennell (calf) have all had to overcome obstacles of varying degrees this summer. O'Meara is the biggest concern and remains in doubt to be right by round 1. Ablett is expected to partake in contact work at some stage this month. The Suns get back to reality on Wednesday.
After three seasons, the training wheels are now off and, if their demanding training camp in Noosa before the Christmas break was anything to go by, GWS is planning an audacious assault on the finals. Key talls Jon Patton and Tim Mohr continue their rehabilitation from knee reconstructions while Liam Sumner (foot) and James Stewart (glandular fever) are also sidelined. Devon Smith, Adam Treloar and skipper Callan Ward have been outstanding on the track and will have the chance to continue setting the pace when their pre-season resumes on Monday.
They might be the reigning back-to-back premiers but the Hawks have been all business this summer as they begin their assault on a historic "three-peat" of flags. From all reports, their training camp on the Sunshine Coast before Christmas was brutal. Isaac Smith, Billy Hartung and ruckman Ben McEvoy completed the top three in the two-kilometre time trial before Christmas, new recruits James Frawley and Jono O'Rourke have settled in well and the club has been buoyed by the gradual progress from injury being made by Brendan Whitecross (knee) and Jed Anderson (shoulder).
Given the Dees' player development has been pushed back to the Stone Age in the last decade, it's perhaps fitting they have adopted a form of paleo diet this pre-season to increase their energy levels. But the light is certainly visible at the end of their long and dark tunnel and new recruits Heritier Lumumba, Jeff Garlett, Sam Frost and Ben Newton have made positive starts to their careers at Melbourne. Jack Watts (groin) and Jack Trengove (foot) have been the only major injury concerns. The Demons resume training on Monday.
The preliminary finalists would have been very pleased with what they saw from former Bulldog Shaun Higgins in the lead-up to Christmas and, as usual, evergreen champion Brent Harvey has been a standout performer too. The Roos expect Drew Petrie (ankle), Lachlan Hansen (hip), Ben Brown (knee) and Robbie Tarrant (tibia) to return to full training some time this month. Pre-season training recommences for North Melbourne on Monday.
The Power returned to pre-season training earlier than any other club when they resumed the slog on Saturday - a sign perhaps of how determined they are to go at least one better in 2015 and continue their rapid improvement under coach Ken Hinkley. The club would be ecstatic that most of their players ran personal best times in the three-kilometretime trial before the break. They also returned to Dubai for a gruelling eight-day training camp prior to Christmas. Travis Boak, Brad Ebert, Ollie Wines and Robbie Gray have been tearing up the track.
The burning desire to win their first final since 2001 would no doubt be fuelling the Tigers' pre-season and their hopes of achieving that goal have been given a huge boost by the fact that unimpeded key big man Ivan Maric has been one of the standout performers following an injury-riddled 2014. A further boost for the team is that only Steven Morris (shoulder), Matt Thomas (knee) and Ben Lennon (hip) have been on restricted programs due to surgery. The Tigers return from their break on Monday.
The homesick Seaford Saints, who have reportedly had their eye on a move to both the Junction Oval and Elsternwick Park, satisfied their wanderlust in December when they spent part of their pre-season in New Zealand. Jarryn Geary and David Armitage have been head and shoulders above their teammates to date. Luke Dunstan (shoulder) is due to return to full training this month. The Saints will have their noses back to the grindstone on Wednesday.
The Swans are still seething from their grand-final humiliation and their exclusion from the trade period, but their spirits would have been lifted by the early form of Academy draftee Jack Hiscox who took out both three-kilometre time trials. Star midfielder Dan Hannebery has maintained impeccable standards while Tom Mitchell, Lloyd Perris, Harry Cunningham and Dane Rampe have also impressed. Another positive for the club is that luckless defender Alex Johnson is the only patient in the medical room as he continues his recovery from a fourth knee reconstruction. The runners-up resume pre-season training on Monday.
The Eagles have identified their lack of size in the midfield as a major reason for them narrowly missing out on finals action this year so most of the players have spent much of the pre-season in the weights room. But there has been plenty of disruption already with senior players Scott Selwood (ankle), Callum Sinclair (finger), Eric Mackenzie (hip), Sharrod Wellingham (knee), Elliot Yeo (hand), Xavier Ellis (AC joint), Matt Rosa (pectoral muscle), Jeremy McGovern (hip) and Jack Darling (foot) all suffering setbacks. Chris Masten and Matt Priddis have set the standard while fourth-round pick Damien Cavka turned heads when he broke the club's two-kilometre, time-trial record before Christmas. The Eagles will also return from their break on Monday.
The good news for new coach Luke Beveridge is that he appears to have his group of mollycoddled, Gen Y mutineers on side for the moment. Shooting star Marcus Bontempelli has picked up where he left off his debut season and, with an extra seven kilograms already added to his frame, looks set to take his game to the next level in 2015. Fellow young gun Lachie Hunter has also caught the eye. The only major injury concern is Clay Smith who is on the mend from a knee reconstruction.

When the announcement of the party was made, I thought "finally! Finally someone is creating a political party with women's rights at the centre of its philosophy!" I felt hopeful. I thought that maybe in the next general election we would have candidates whose campaigns were fought on issues like male violence, funding for women's services, and the extra burden austerity places on poor women.
But alas, I now fear it's not going to be. Why? Because the party hasn't even got going yet and the infighting has started. And you know what, it all boils down to that classic trick of patriarchy - that women CANNOT disagree and work together. For some reason we expect that a party aimed at representing 50% of the population is going to have philosophies and policies that the ENTIRITY of that 50% will agree with. And when that doesn't happen, women say 'well I'm not joining, they don't represent ME!'
This is nonsensical to me. Men have been successfully working together whilst fundamentally disagreeing for centuries. It's how patriarchy is still alive, despite racial and class oppression. Black men, poor men, rich white men all somehow manage to set aside their differences in order to collectively oppress women.
And yet, we seem unable to do the same. The current political parties have well established 'fringes', made up of so called 'back benchers', whose views fundamentally differ from the mainstream party views on several issues. And still, somehow they manage to keep a cohesive enough whole to operate.
Why can't we do the same? There are issues that we ALL agree on, and interventions that we ALL would back. Yes there are points where our politics diverge and our solutions differ drastically (e.g. Around sex work/prostitution). But even here, we still agree that at the heart we want to protect women.
The party is in its INFANCY. They are still developing their policies. So we have two options: don't join and sit outside complaining that the party isn't being run how we want it to be. Or, join and influence the policies from the outset. Yes option two means we'd have to compromise, and sometimes some of us wouldn't get what we wanted. But answer me this, last election did ANY political party offer you PERFECT match policies? Or where there issues which you compromised on, to vote for the best of a bad bunch?
Personally I'm going for option two. I'll compromise. Because at least this party has the potential to make this country a better place to be a woman. Something no other party is even considering, let alone offering.

he's not man enough to say it at your face. Clearly, he's not interested so he was just making indirect excuses to convey his point. Don't ever text him until he does. Just move on already, you'll get way better guy than him, i am sure.44|00|1
Damn I didn't really realize that he's not into me until now that I wrote out what he said. Thanks for making things clear!
I still don't get why he went out on a second date if he wasn't interested and wanted to drag it out. I wanted to go home instead of eating.
I deleted his # last week so I wouldn't cave in and text like I usually do with guys who don't directly rejecte because I seriously can't pick up on indirect hints

According to a study done by internet provider Tencent, a whopping 27.44% of Android users root their phones. With over 1.4 billion Android devices out there, that works out to somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 million rooted phones and tablets. In other words, there may very well be more rooted Android devices than there are Americans, so root nation is an important demographic that deserves being catered to.
Superuser status isn't always easy to achieve, though. Many manufacturers lock their device bootloaders and add extra layers of security to prevent users from rooting and installing a custom recovery. Yet people still find ways around these hurdles, because rooting allows them to uninstall bloatware, block ads, and apply cool system-level mods and tweaks, among other things. For many folks, this level of customization is why they chose an Android device in the first place.
If you're a modder, or even if you just want to have the option of tinkering with your device, it's very important that the next phone you buy is easily rootable and has an active development community. We sorted through some of the most popular phones on the market today and narrowed down the best phones for rooting to just five options.
Key Comparison Points
When it comes to rooting and modding an Android device, there are several important factors:
- Bootloader Unlocking: Traditional root methods rely on an unlocked bootloader, and you can't use TWRP custom recovery without one. Some phones allow you to unlock the bootloader with a single Fastboot command, while others may require you to get a code from the manufacturer's website beforehand. The manufacturer code method is fairly simple, but it has one major downside—your OEM will know when you've unlocked your bootloader, so you'll probably lose warranty coverage.
- Tamper Fuse: Most phones these days have a tamper fuse or flag that gets tripped when you modify the stock firmware in any way. If you ever need to send your phone in for faulty hardware, the manufacturer will read the state of this fuse, and likely deny warranty coverage if it's been tripped. Some phone makers allow you to reset this fuse and restore full warranty coverage, while other manufacturers keep track of its status by recording whether or not your account registered for a bootloader-unlock code.
- Stock Firmware: When you're rooting and modding a phone, there's always a risk that things could go awry, leaving you with a soft-bricked phone. This is why it's important that you can easily download the stock firmware for your device, which would allow you to restore things to working order.
- Kernel Sources and Binaries: When a device's kernel sources are published, third-party developers have the bare minimum they need to create custom kernels. All Android manufacturers are required to publish kernel sources, though some can drag their feet (cough, OnePlus). On the other hand, manufacturers are not required to publish driver binaries, though, if they do, there will generally be a bigger selection of stable custom ROMs and custom kernels for the device.
- Toolkits: When you're rooting and modding, a good toolkit program can come in handy for restoring factory firmware, applying updates, and getting your device drivers in order. Plus, some toolkits even help you root and install custom recovery!
- TWRP: TWRP recovery is perhaps the single most important tool when it comes to modifying an Android device. While some phones are officially supported, others may only have ported versions of TWRP available to them, which generally work well, but may have some bugs.
- ElementalX and Xposed: Two of the most popular mods out there are the ElementalX custom kernel, and the Xposed Framework. ElementalX gives you great features like double-tap to wake, while Xposed allows you to install modules that change core functionality and modify the behavior of apps. It should be noted that Xposed is not currently available for devices that run Android Nougat, but an updated version is in the works.
- Development Community: When great developers own a particular device, that phone will usually get some of the best mods. In general, if a device has an active XDA forum dedicated to it, the variety of available mods will also increase.
- Custom ROMs and Kernels: Custom ROMs can give you extra software features, change your phone's UI, and even speed up performance. Custom kernels, on the other hand, allow you to change CPU frequencies and governors to find the right mix of battery life and performance, and they'll occasionally add features like color control and double-tap to wake. As these are two of the biggest types of mods for Android devices, it's important that the phones listed here have a good selection of kernels and ROMs.
Methodology: How We Picked These Phones
To come up with this list, we established a set of ground rules. First, every phone had to be rootable, so that ruled out a number of devices. The biggest phone model that was excluded by this rule was the iPhone 7. With iOS 10, jailbreak methods are occasionally available, but Apple has been shutting down these exploits almost faster than developers can create them, so the iPhone 7 couldn't realistically be considered here.
Secondly, we disqualified devices that were only rootable via kernel exploits like Dirty COW or Towelroot, as these methods are usually blocked quite fast. In other words, each device had to have a traditional root method available to it. This is where devices like the Galaxy S7 suffered, as Samsung's latest US flagship models require some serious hackery to root.
Traditional root methods center around unlocking the device's bootloader and flashing custom images like TWRP Recovery. For this reason, we only included devices with unlocked or unlockable bootloaders, and we excluded devices that did not have a Fastboot interface for flashing said images.
Aside from that, we only tested current-generation phones that were available for sale in the United States. However, carrier-branded phones like those sold by Verizon and AT&T often have bootloaders that cannot be unlocked, so the phones listed here are only the SIM-unlocked variants that are sold by the manufacturer directly. Tiebreakers were then determined based on how active the device's development community was, which left us with the following phones.
1. Pixel
Google's new Pixel phones have been selling very well for a first iteration, to the point where Google has been unable to keep the devices in stock after underestimating demand. The Pixel's marketing campaign tries to position the phone as an iPhone alternative—almost an "everyman" device—but make no mistake, the Pixel, like its predecessor the Nexus, is a modder's dream phone deep down inside.
As to why the Pixel comes in first on our list, let's start with its unlockable bootloader. Every model, with the exception of Pixels sold by Verizon, can have its bootloader unlocked by simply enabling a setting, then sending a single command with Fastboot. And since unlocking the bootloader does not void your warranty, you're free to mod your device's software as you please.
The Pixel does have a tamper flag, meaning when you unlock your bootloader or install custom firmware, there's a bit of data left behind that would let Google know you've altered your software. However, this is only a software-based tamper flag, which means that you can send a simple Fastboot command to reset it, and Google would no longer be able to tell that you've modified your operating system.
Google publishes all of the Pixel's factory images as soon as a new Android version is released, so if anything ever goes wrong while you're installing software mods, you can easily re-flash your stock firmware to get things up and running again. The Pixel's driver binaries are published, as are the kernel sources, so this makes it extremely easy for developers to create custom ROMs and kernels for the Pixel.
Speaking of custom kernels, two of the absolute best are available for the Pixel: ElementalX and Franco Kernel. Franco Kernel gives you a great mix of performance and battery life, while ElementalX adds awesome features like color control and automatic battery-saving CPU profiles.
As the Pixel's stock interface is so close to AOSP Android already, there are many custom ROMs available to the device already. In fact, the Pixel's development community is one of the most active, so you can expect a constant stream of Pixel-compatible root apps and mods.
Since the Pixel runs the latest version of Android, the Xposed Framework is not yet supported. This is only a temporary inconvenience, though, as developer Rovo89 has already begun to make Xposed compatible with Android Nougat.
When it comes to getting root in the first place, two of the best root toolkits are currently or will soon be available for the Pixel. Skipsoft, a command-based toolkit, can walk you through many aspects of modding. Wugfresh's Nexus Root Toolkit, an easy-to-use utility that only requires a mouse, will soon be renamed to Pixel Nexus Root Toolkit and made available for Google's latest devices, so rooting and modding will be about as easy as it gets.
The Pixel's only real drawback from a modder's perspective is its price. The 32-gigabyte unlocked Pixel will cost you $649, and it only goes up from there. That price tag may make you hesitant to tinker with such an expensive toy, which is why we recommend the Pixel over its larger counterpart, the Pixel XL. Though if you can handle the XL's $769 starting price, it's every bit as good of a pick as the regular Pixel, because everything we've said in this section still applies to the larger model.
On a final note, remember that Verizon variants of the Google Pixel all have locked bootloaders. For this reason, we would only recommend that you buy a Pixel directly from Google if you plan on doing some rooting and modding.
2. OnePlus 3T
With the death of the Nexus line, there was a void in the market when it came to phones with high-end specs at midrange prices. OnePlus capably fills this space with the OnePlus 3T, a Snapdragon 821-powered flagship with a veritable smorgasbord of high-end specs. The company is able to keep its prices down by cutting costs on marketing, and shipping directly to the consumer, so in the end, you get great modding value for your dollar.
The OnePlus 3T is a modder-friendly phone by design, as the manufacturer has always embraced Android's development community, starting with its Cyanogen-based ROM on the OnePlus One. They've even gone so far as to explicitly state that unlocking your bootloader will not void your warranty, and doing so is as simple as sending a single Fastboot command after enabling OEM unlocking.
Like the Pixel, the OnePlus 3T has a software-based tamper flag—but again, you can easily reset this to keep the manufacture from knowing you ever modified your software. And if you ever need them, you can easily download factory images for the 3T directly from OnePlus' website, then flash them in Fastboot to restore your phone to its stock state.
All key binaries have been published, including those related to the Dash Charge feature, so custom ROMs are just as feature-rich as stock. However, OnePlus has been dragging its feet with releasing the 3T's Android Nougat kernel sources, which has slowed down kernel development for the time being.
That said, the major kernel developers are committed to supporting the OnePlus 3T, as both ElementalX and Franco Kernel are available for every firmware version except the latest. And because of its inherent modder-friendliness, the OnePlus 3T has one of the most active development communities out there, which means custom ROMs, as well as root apps and mods, are aplenty.
As it's a device that runs Android Nougat, the Xposed Framework is not available for the OnePlus 3T just yet. But, of course, that should be settled soon, and in the meantime, you can use the Skipsoft toolkit to get your OnePlus 3T rooted, install TWRP recovery, and much more.
With a starting price of only $439, the OnePlus 3T is one of the most affordable flagship phones, and that's a great combination when it comes to modding. The phone will have plenty of processing power to spare regardless of what mods you throw at it, and you won't have the queasiness you would have when flashing things on a more expensive device.
3. Moto G4 Plus
Motorola practically invented the budget smartphone space with its Moto G lineup. Prior to the original model's release in 2013, smartphones that cost less than $400 were looked at as throw-ins when purchasing a cellular plan, but Motorola's refined looks and balanced performance have raised the bar in the budget segment. As it stands, the Moto G4 Plus can go toe to toe with phones that cost twice as much, which makes it one of the best value buys on the market.
With a starting price of $249, the Moto G4 Plus simply can't be ignored here. Think about it this way: You could buy a G4 Plus, brick it, buy another, brick that one, too, then buy a third, and you'd still be paying less than a single LG V20 or Pixel XL.
It's easy to unlock the G4 Plus' bootloader using Motorola's official site to generate an unlock code. However, the company states that as soon as you get a bootloader-unlock code, "your device is no longer covered by the Motorola warranty." The account-based bootloader unlock method also ensures that Motorola can keep track of whether or not you've modified your firmware, regardless of tamper flag state. To put it simply, you'll need to be comfortable with losing your warranty if you want to root the Moto G4 Plus.
Driver binaries and kernel sources are published on Motorola's Github page, so developers won't have any problem in creating custom firmware. ElementalX is available for the G4 Plus, and TWRP recovery is officially supported, so all of the basics are covered.
Developers seem to be attracted to the Moto G4 Plus' low price and near-stock version of Android, because the device's XDA forums are extremely active with plenty of custom ROMs, kernels, and other mods available. On top of that, the G4 Plus still runs Android Marshmallow at the moment, so the Xposed Framework can be easily installed.
However, there are a few downsides when it comes to rooting and modding the Moto G4 Plus. For one, there aren't any noteworthy toolkits available, so you'll have to do most of the initial modding in a command prompt. It can also be hard to find stock firmware downloads for the G4 Plus, since Motorola doesn't offer an official factory images download page. All factors considered, though, the Moto G4 Plus is a solid pick if you plan to mod your next phone.
HTC's sales figures have been slumping lately, but it's certainly not the HTC 10's fault. The Taiwanese manufacturer's latest flagship has been met with near-universal acclaim from reviewers, and as the latest iteration in what used to be called the One series, the HTC 10 has a solid cult following from fans who owned previous HTC devices and have been thoroughly satisfied.
HTC allows you to generate a code that will unlock your device's bootloader through Fastboot commands. This process doesn't void your entire warranty, but claims involving issues related to bootloader unlocking will not be covered.
The HTC 10's kernel sources and binaries are published on the device's official site, which gives developers plenty to work with. TWRP recovery, the ElementalX kernel, and even the Xposed Framework are all available for the HTC 10, though note that Xposed will only work if you haven't received the Android Nougat update yet, otherwise you'll have to wait on an update to the Framework.
The HTC 10 has an active development community and solid custom ROM support, though most ROMs are Sense-based. This means that, with most ROMs, you won't get very far away from the stock interface that came with your phone, but as far as manufacturer skins go, HTC's Sense is one of the more classy and understated interfaces.
Aside from ElementalX, the custom kernel selection on the HTC 10 isn't much to write home about. Thankfully, though, Hasoon's All-In-One HTC Toolkit makes rooting and installing TWRP a breeze with its mouse-based interface, and HTC publishes factory firmware images in case anything goes wrong along the way.
If you're satisfied with the HTC 10's ROM selection and you plan to use ElementalX as your main custom kernel anyway, there are plenty of apps and mods available to help scratch your itch to tinker. When you combine that with HTC's rational warranty approach and the phone's reasonable $599 price tag, the HTC 10 is a solid buy.
As a final note, the HTC 10 is available for purchase from most US cell carriers, but to ensure that you encounter the fewest hurdles while rooting and get the best ROM support, we recommend the SIM-unlocked version that you can buy from HTC.
These days, LG is taking a dual-flagship approach, with a G series phone being released in spring, then a V series flagship debuting in the fall. This year's V20 is LG's most powerful phone yet, as it sports dual cameras, three microphones, and a Quad-DAC setup. The phone is billed as a multimedia powerhouse, but with its impressive spec sheet, it's really an anything powerhouse.
LG lets you unlock the V20's bootloader with a code-based system, but this alerts the manufacturer that you've done so, which voids the device's warranty. This is the case with almost every phone out there, so it's par for the course, but something you should be aware of.
The V20's kernel sources are published, however, only Code Aurora Forum (CAF) driver binaries are available. CAF drivers are provided by the device's CPU manufacturer, Qualcomm, but they're generic drivers, so optimizations in the V20's official firmware won't be available in custom kernels.
This helps explain why ElementalX is not available for the LG V20, which is one significant downside. Another negative is that TWRP recovery is not officially available just yet, though the V20 already has an unofficial TWRP build that works just fine. And while Xposed isn't supported because of the V20's Android Nougat-based firmware, Rovo89 should have that sorted out fairly soon.
Back on the bright side, LG offers a useful toolkit called LG Bridge that allows you to download stock firmware and restore your phone in a few clicks. On top of that, third-party root toolkit Skipsoft offers full support for the SIM-unlocked LG V20 variant, so getting started with modding the device should be easy.
The main reason that the V20 makes this list is the fact that is has a very active development community, so you should never be hard up for cool mods and root apps. Custom ROM and kernel selection is merely decent, but this is mainly due to the device being fairly new at the moment, so give it time.
Keep in mind that none of this applies to carrier-branded variants of the LG V20, as these have extra security measures that prevent you from easily unlocking the device's bootloader. In fact, you can only root a few carrier variants using the Dirty COW exploit, so we'd suggest that you stay away from carrier variants and buy directly from LG if you want to root and mod the V20.
If the ability to root your next phone and install custom firmware are your top requirements, then two devices stand out above the rest: The Google Pixel and the OnePlus 3T. The Pixel gets a slight edge because its kernel sources are available, and its root toolkit selection will be slightly better once PNRT comes out. However, the OnePlus 3T is quite a bit cheaper and ticks all of the other boxes, so the two devices are almost on equal footing here.
The rest of the pack is a step behind when it comes to rooting and modding, with the main differentiating factor being that you will lose warranty coverage when you unlock the bootloader on a Moto G4 Plus, HTC 10, or LG V20. Though if you're willing to risk it, each of these devices makes a compelling case for itself, with the G4 Plus being super affordable, the HTC 10 being a great all-rounder, and the V20 being one of the most powerful phones on the market.

Why COPD patients should stay out of the heat
From Healthline News:
Outdoor heat has been associated with increased mortality and increases in COPD hospitalizations, say researchers.
People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may experience fewer symptoms and better overall health if they stay out of the heat this summer, according to a new study.
Conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University and presented at the 2014 American Thoracic Society International Conference, the study found that COPD patients exposed to warm indoor temperatures "had greater disease-related morbidity, including an increase in symptoms, a rise in the use of rescue medications, and a decline in lung function." Outdoor heat exposure was also associated with increased COPD symptoms, researchers said. Read more.

Toyota has the best MPV in the Indian market with the Innova Crysta and has been successful with the Fortuner as well. With the best models in the market, Toyota is offering discounts on the Etios and Liva. Is it because they are not as successful as the Innova Crysta?
Well, Toyota will be bringing the new facelifted Etios and Liva to India soon. The new facelifted Etios and Liva have been launched in Brazil. They look a lot sharper and premium look compared to the outgoing model.
Dealerships of Toyota in India have started to offer discounts on the current Etios and Liva probably to clear stocks. Also, to make way for the new facelifted Etios and Liva in the country.
In Mumbai, dealers are offering discounts up to Rs. 15,000 and in Delhi, the Etios has a discount of Rs. 12,500 and Rs. 10,000 on the Liva.
There have been no bookings on the new Etios and Liva from the dealerships in the country as of now. Toyota has been offering the best of quality and innovation on their vehicles.
The new Toyota Etios and Liva will continue in the same tradition and offer the best of engineering.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
When Cardinal football was reintroduced in 2010, there was an excitement on campus that hadn't been felt in a long time. It was a welcome return following two decades without a sport that Southeast Texans eat, sleep and breathe. Now that Big Red pride is back in full force, Lamar University reintroduces another tradition dating back more than half a century — the Homecoming Parade.
Whether you head down Flint Road off of South Major or take Highway 365, be sure to follow the quiet Labelle Road to great food and wonderful atmosphere. Pine Tree Lodge is a fun, family-friendly place to enjoy from-scratch entrees while relaxing on the water. The restaurant has been many different establishments, from a lodging office to a biker bar.
No living actor plays the curmudgeon better than Bill Murray. He's become the Walter Matthau of his time. All through this, I could see Murray channeling that "Bad News Bears" grumpiness of Matthau as he plays Vincent Van Nuys in this first feature from writer/director Theodore Melfi, who should get down on his knees and thank Murray for saying "yes" to the role.
About a year ago, I wrote about my then new favorite real-time smart phone road routing program Waze. At the time, Google had recently purchased Waze from its Israeli developer for over a billion dollars, a princely sum that the developer generously shared with his handful of employees.
We are lucky to be in Texas this time of year. Some of our summer blooming plants like hibiscus and bougainvillea are still giving us a show, and we can add in gorgeous fall blooming annuals and perennials. Just for fun, how about we focus on some purple beauties and create an area that will not only draw you to the garden but butterflies, bees and birds as well? It seems that we all love purple.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Stiyl Magnus is an antagonist but sided with Touma and his friends in the novel, anime series A Certain Magical Index.
His blond hair is dyed red and hangs on his shoulders. He wears a black priest robe and has a silver ring on each of his ten fingers, earrings on both ears, and a barcode tattoo under his right eye. Despite being fourteen, Stiyl is a tall man with a strong perfume smell, and is often seen having a cigarette in his mouth, as he is an extremely heavy smoker. He claims a world without nicotine would be hell and that he dislikes Academy City since it's hard to get cigarettes as a minor.
Because of this and along with his personality, Stiyl seems more mature than Touma despite being younger than him.

Hi there,
This is my first post so please bear with me.
I am doing a chocolate wedding cake this weekend. They want it delivered to them on friday morning but the wedding isnt til saturday.
The problem is that they only want buttercream on it no fondant or sugarpaste. I would normally bake it tonight, decorate tomorrow ready for Friday but wont the cake go stale by saturday if it doesnt have the sugarpaste to seal it?
Any ideas greatly appreciated,
What sort of cake recipe do you use? They vary so much. I know a chocolate mud cake would be fine, but they are typically very moist/dense cakes to start with.
Its really just a chocolate Madeira cake. Is there a recipe for the mud cake?
I don't think you need the sugarpaste to seal it. Any frosting will do that. I frost with just buttercream all the time and it stays fresh for days. If your cake recipe stays fresh with fondant, then it will stay fresh with buttercream as well.
If you think it will be fine then that is great. It has taken me ages to get my choc cake just right and the thought of trying a new recipe now fills me with dread. It is a moist cake and it will have buttercream running through it too. I was just worried it might dry out.

I've been tasked with researching/coming up with a solution for cataloging and searching data from about 1800 CD/DVD's. This is data from projects that my company has completed. When a project is completed I in turn remove them from our production server and then burn it/them to CD/DVD. When I do this I do take a screen shot of the data that is on each individual disc and print it to a jewel case insert. Does someone know of a was that I might accomplish this? I had thought perhaps some sort of a bar coding system but, not completely sure that would work for what I'm wanting to do. And buying several tera byte drives is not the solution either. HELP! I'm open to any and all suggestions! Thanks for your time and consideration! Doug

I would create a database with keywords and a TOC for each CD.
create one table of the data that is on discs as a table of contents entry.
the columns would be CDID, data title, data desc. DataID where the data id is the unique ID (PK) for this TOC entry CDID is the ID for the disc the data resides on. the titla and data desc are descriptors for the contents of the data.
next table: keywords table. this table will have two columns, keyword, and CDID. CDID refers to the disk identified with this keyword. you may have more than one disk assoicated with a keyword, and multiple keywords associated with a disk, but not to identicle records.
Third table two columns, CDID and project name,
Fourth table for finer search granularity would be TOCid and keyword.
if you do it in access it will be easy. youi will have a system where someone can ask about the specifics of a project and you will be able to produce a list of projects that use that technique. or projects that hit similar jeywords.
Use access, it is easier than many of the other available solutions.

To start off I'm really cute (check out my pic thts me) and kind and sweet but for some reason guys only want to fuck me? Do I look tht easy? I'm confused and I'm tired of being alone... any thoughts? All are welcome :)
How do I get a guy to notice me?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 8
you are attractive yes and other guys are going to disagree with my advice but just hold of on the sex for a while get to kno each other on a much deeper level but dont tell the bloke when he is getting it either and if he leaves after waiting a little while he isn't worth your time11|00|0
Ok thanks
They won't just want to do that if you don't give it up easily. Wait out the bad ones to get the good guys.10|10|0
Thank you. I'll try
I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but just from reading your question I can tell that you are way too self conscious and you probably come across that way to other people as well. You might be an annoying person and guys want nothing more than sex from you.00|00|0
Ok. Thanks for the update. Really needed it :)
Wait... your profile pick is you? Not really cute, so I don't know why anyone would want to fuck you. No offense. Anyways, that's what teen dudes are like. We aren't looking for long term relationships, we're looking for pussy.00|00|0
Wow ur nice -_-
- Show AllShow Less
Yeah I know scarasums (can't spell)
I can tell. I'm a teenage girl who is lonely and just wants a guy to love. Guess thts y they think I'm easy... O. o
You will be fine just give it some time00|00|0
Yous your hair as an advantage00|00|0
Use my hair? Wut dat mean?
First off lose that cap. Then do something dainty to your hair. Doing those things would help you out a lot.00|00|0
But... I like my beanie... I don't wanna get rid of it please don't make me! Oh and I ain't the girly type chick. I like to get dirty (tht sounded wrong) I ride horses and run in mud so sorry but ok to the hair thing
Doing your own thing and being yourself is good don't get me wrong. But on the other hand if you're wanting to attract guys the girly type chick thing would help you a lot. According to you you have a tomboy side. Guys attract to girls the way they're meant to do. So if you want to attract guys you need get girly with it.
What Girls Said 1
Is this a serious question? Well i'm sure it's not that you are easy. its just that guys are attracted to you physically. but judging from the description guys notice you plenty00|00|0

Food is a joy. The luxury of good cuisine is something we crave for. Our celebrities have posted some mouthwatering pictures on Instagram of the dish they have been munching on. Here are the best ones…
Rasgulla in Kolkata! #cheatday
Cheat day
Alia Bhatt looks delighted while eating rasgullas in Kolkata. The actress has all the reasons to smile given her latest release Highway.
Breakfast on location at The Acres Chembur, Mumbai. #breakfast #shoot
Munching on…
Ayushmann Khurrana has been busy shooting for his film. The actor is cautious about his food and so he was seen eating frugally on the sets of his film. Well, it seems like Ayushmann is trying his best to keep fit.
I'm just inhaling
The chocolate factory
Not only chocolates but cupcakes, muffins and more, Nargis Fakhri is surrounded by sinful gourmet. We wonder how the actress is resisting the urge. Nonetheless, we love this picture!

Lusting over food
Sonam Kapoor posted a stylish picture of the items she relishes. We are sure Sonam compromised with her diet plan for the day!
My cheat day is complete
Pizza by the bay!
That is one hell of a pizza! Just like Varun Dhawan, we wouldn't mind giving up a day from the fitness routine to eat the mouthwatering cheesy delight.

An argument in favor of more nuanced free agent analysis.
It's free agent season, which means it's time to complain about whom your favorite team is signing. Or not signing. Or reportedly thinking about signing. Or reportedly thought about signing and whom you would have complained about if they had signed him, but now that you know that they are not signing him, you're angry that they didn't have the courage to do it. In the eyes of their fans, all 30 teams will do so much to damage their potential for a World Series championship in the next three months. And they're mostly right. There will be 29 teams that will fail to win the World Series next year. Teams are really bad at this.

So there we go. My Seahawks pulled it out. They're going to face the Broncos at Superbowl 48, and that means two more weeks of abstinence for me and my beloved Tau.
Hey, it's only weird if it doesn't work.
See you all then (and whether they win or lose the Superbowl, the Ethereals and I will have a special Seahawks surprise for our Tau).
Marshawn Lynch is an Ork
Sherman brings the pain, so he is definitely Dark Eldar
Russell Wilson is Tau. Fire Caste.
And to his credit, Kaepernick is a deamon.
--Slanesh because though it's a pleasure to watch him, you know it's a sin.
I love the Seahawks, but I play Tau.
Seahawk Sept
So there we go. My Seahawks pulled it out. They're going to face the Broncos at Superbowl 48, and that means two more weeks of abstinence for me and my beloved Tau.
New Year, New "To-do" List
My Seahawks are doing great things, and I have been very busy. I have not been too much into my Tau lately because I have been spending a lot of time with my football buddies and our favorite beverages made from malted barley and hops. I will be posting regularly again soon, well I guess that really depends on how much longer a football season our boys are going to give us...
If they get to the Superbowl there will be two more weeks or so of bacchanalic debauchery.
But whenever we do wind down Football season, I have a list of projects piling up, in fact since our new codex dropped. Until now I had just bought a couple of new models and proxied the rest. But now I will have the time and money to purchase and work on my Cadre. I will document my progress.
He is standing more upright, and is quite tall. He also has one of my unused XV-805 commander's extra hands, which is holding a captured servo skull by the tentacles. I will post the how-to soon, it still needs a lot of work.
I may even build a third squad that I can magnetize the rifles and missiles and switch them to suit my needs. That will give me the option of six rail rifles or six HYMPs.
3) After that, I have a new XV-805 to re-pose and build. I have decided that I am not overly fond of his flamboyant landing, and I want my second one to be a little different.
4) Build and paint my Longstrike and Darkstrider.
5) Get a new set of pathfinders (even though I do not like their helmets).
6) Convert a devilfish to be the command/black ops DF required by one of the pathfinder formations.
7) I have another couple of Riptides to build, but not in the standard pose. One will stand up fully like the broadside. And the other will be kneeling.
8) Two Hammerheads and a Skyray (which will all be magnetized). I will post the How-tos.

In 2196, the Interstellar Exploration Vessel Leviathan was mankind's first manned interstellar vehicle ever built. A collaboration between several of the planet's most powerful space agencies, including - but not limited to - NASA, SpaceX, JAXA, and the ESA, the Leviathan was four square miles long and laid deep in low Earth orbit. Assembled in orbit and equipped with a magnetic ion fusion drive which produced a great amount of velocity and used up very little fuel, a rotating ring-shaped habitat that spun to provide gravity for its many inhabitants, and enough food and water to last centuries provided by a vast greenhouse equipped for microgravity, which was stowed deep inside the vessel, this marvel of human achievement was built to take man to places he could not.
But on its maiden voyage to explore Alpha Centauri - the Sol system's nearest star system, Earth mysteriously lost all forms of contact with the massive spacecraft past the Oort cloud, and the Leviathan's crew, which was of 2,500 cryogenically frozen astronauts and five unfrozen commanders, somehow dropped to zero in that same time.
The Leviathan never even returned.
- - - - - - The Failed Mission - - - - -
Oh, Christ.
I didn't realize it until it was too late. The crew of the Leviathan, our biggest landmark in exploration, it's gone… Six hundred billion dollars spent on this giant starship, all… dead.
My team was sent on a mission to find out what happened to the Leviathan, and our vessel, the ISEV Asimov cruised briskly towards one of the derelict Leviathan's hybrid airlock/docking ports, and as we used the spacecraft's RCS (reaction control system) to slow down and prepare for docking, the Asimov's AI exclaimed;
We had not expected a response like that. The Leviathan was drained of its atmosphere and every life form inside had died from oxygen deprivation. But how was life thriving inside of its otherwise now-uninhabitable interior?
I had to investigate this so-called "life," so we approached the airlock, entered it and attempted to open the inside door. But something was holding it together, and it seemed alive as well. Our scientist, Margret, had a remotely detonated handheld explosive used for emergencies only, so we blew up the airlock's inner door.
The eight of us readied ourselves as best as we could, and as we entered the titanic spacecraft, at first it was completely dark and all we could hear was a soft, slimy noise of something squelching. But as we activated our EVA suit headlights, we were greeted by an unbelievable sight.
Every square centimeter of the spacecraft's inside was covered in living biomass. It recoiled and pulsated at every stimulus, and spread tendrils like mold to places it could not touch. Eyes, teeth, hair, and twitching, lifeless limbs sprouted from random places in the fleshy ground, and there were patches of glowing abscesses of random sizes which lit up the dark interior and often burst rhythmically, spraying a floating cloud of pus, only to rapidly regrow back.
"Holy mother of Hell," was my only response.
It was then we heard an eerie, gurgling moan course throughout the vessel's vacant inside, and even though our headlights could not make out the shape of the source very well, it was clearly humanoid and it looked like a crew member of the Leviathan. My fellow combat specialist readied a gun, and then I realized it was no crew member.
The sound of the gun loading must have startled it, and with a blood-curdling snarl, the beast jumped through the micro-G environment and flashed out a set of serrated claws and countless rows of grinding teeth, and caught one of my team's members with incredible accuracy and tore him to pieces, drips of his blood and chunks of his flesh drifting through the airless environment.
The sound of his death alerted more mutants, which all were unique from one another. One horrifically malformed, S-shaped body with just a few limbs in place of a head and mouths in place of feet, a giant cluster of eyes with thin tentacles, what appeared to be a giant mouth crawling on its elongated teeth and filled with hundreds more, a cloud-like mass of arteries, a spider-like form made of a pair of limbs and thousands more came after us.
We were prepared to shoot down these monsters. All of us beamed most of the mutants into oblivion but they were persistent. Within minutes all of the mutants had vanquished several of my team and there were only three of us left.
I then attempted to use a bomb to destroy all the mutants, but it was no use. We learned that the hard way, as something even more terrible than all the mutants surrounding us immediately appeared.
The largest mutant of them all - about 100 feet across - soon tumbled into view. It looked like an amoeba of multicolored flesh but with randomly thick and/or thin arteries for pseudopods, and a gigantic, throbbing eye at its center, glazed-out and unblinking. We fired all we could at the abomination but we ran out - it was too resilient, and then it was at this time I knew we had to use a bomb.
I tossed the explosive into what appeared to be a mouth and it detonated inside the monster.
The beast simply exploded into a cloud of blood and bits of viscera, staining the site of its untimely fate with its remains. But by then it was too late - more mutants surrounded us at breakneck speed, and they immediately tore us apart just like my late teammate.
We would never return home, just like the Leviathan.
And none of us will be remembered as humans ever again, either...

Star of Hobbit films Elijah Wood says Tinseltown is masking a child sex epidemic in its 'seedy' underbelly full of predatory 'vipers'
Lord of the Rings star Elijah Wood claims that Hollywood has its own Jimmy Savile scandal and believes young actors are being sexually abused by predatory 'vipers' in the industry.
The Hobbit actor, 35, told The Sunday Times that the child abuse is 'probably still happening'.
Shocking allegations that top Hollywood figures have been protecting child abusers have circulated widely in recent years.
Several industry figures have been convicted following claims of sex abuse and former child actors - including The Goonies actor Corey Feldman, 44 - claimed he was 'surrounded' by molesters when he was a teenager.
Anne Henry, co-founder of Bizparentz - a group to help young actors - said that Tinseltown is currently sheltering around '100 active abusers'.
Wood, who stars in his new film The Trust, sympathised with Savile's victims and said it much have been 'devastating'.
He told The Sunday Times that his mother had protected him from abuse when he first arrived in Hollywood aged eight.
But he said: 'I've been led down dark paths to realise that these things are probably still happening.'
The actor, who played Frodo Baggins in Lord of the Rings, believes that other actors remain in danger.
He added: 'If you're innocent, you have very little knowledge of the world and you want to succeed.
'People with parasitic interests will see you as their prey. What upsets me about these situations is that the victims can't speak as loudly as the people in power.'
Henry believes that around three-quarters of child actors that 'went off the rails' later in their life had been abused in Hollywood.
She said: 'This problem has been endemic in Hollywood for a long time and it's finally coming to light.
'Very bad people are still working here, protected by their friends.'
In the last 10 years, several wealthy and significant people involved in the industry have been convicted.
Some have left prison and returned to Hollywood and continued to work with children.
Wood, who now knows he was lucky to avoid being abused, compared the allegations in Hollywood to the claims linked to Savile following his death in October 2011.
Wood said: 'You all grew up with Savile - Jesus, it must have been devastating. Clearly something major was going on in Hollywood. It was all organised.
'There are a lot of vipers in this industry. There is a darkness in the underbelly - if you can imagine it, it's probably happened.'
He said: 'The No 1 problem in Hollywood was and is - and always will be - paedophilia.'
Other child actors were reportedly told by adults that it was perfectly normal for older men and younger boys in the industry to have sexual relations.
Feldman told a British tabloid four years ago: 'When I was 14 and 15, things were happening to me. These older men were leching around me like vultures.'
He went on to suffer with alcoholism, mental health problems and became addicted to drugs.
His friend, Corey Haim, another child actor, died of pneumonia aged 38 in 2010. Feldman claims a 'Hollywood mogul' is to blame for his friend's death.
He said abusers are still working and are some of the richest and most powerful people in the business.
It was also claimed that a number of pool parties were held in Los Angeles during the late 1990s - primarily hosted by millionaire businessman Marc Collins-Rector.
At these parties, Collins-Rector and other men are said to have sexually assaulted teenage boys, according to lawsuits filed in 2000 and 2014.

"What can I say - reassuring."
About: Leeds General Infirmary Leeds General Infirmary Leeds LS1 3EX
Posted by Julia Fulford
What I liked
I cannot complain about my brief stay in A&E and CDU ward. The staff were excellent and kept my husband informed about my progress until I regained conciousness.
Anything else?
I only stayed in A&E and CDU ward for a few hours, I was brought in by the Yorkshire Air Ambulance after falling from my horse. I sustained a head injury knocking me unconcious, so I dont remeber anything about it. I first remember being in A&E and transferred to the CDU ward (I think thats what it was called). All the staff were very professional and friendly.
I would like to express my grateful thanks to all who looked after me. We all hear about the bad comments about hospitals but I can only give praise! Keep up the good work.
Thank you.
Response from Becky Riffel, NHS Leeds 5 years ago
Thank you for taking the time to share you experience on Patient Opinion. I was pleased to hear about the excellent care that you received during your hospital stay, and that you were treated by professional and friendly staff.

The ACT government added an amendment to the local civil union act on Tuesday, automatically recognising same-sex marriage and unions from overseas jurisdictions, like the wedding of Lynne O'Brien and Caroline Marsh.
Ms O'Brien and Ms Marsh celebrated with a glass of champagne, both enjoying being under what they claimed was one of Australia's more progressive governments.
"Good on the ACT government for their proactive approach, they are probably the most inclusive LGBTIQ government in the country," Ms O'Brien said.
"We're going to get our civil union upgraded to a marriage and that marriage will be recognised."
"It represents yet another attempt by the ACT government to forge ahead with a law that is long overdue," Ms Marsh said.
"There is such a large component within the federal government of outright homophobia that it's more than a political football there is a genuine thread of hatred towards our community."
"The sky will not fall because I married the person I loved," Ms O'Brien said.
Ms O'Brien and Ms Marsh were married overseas in the United Kingdom where same-sex marriage is legal in England, Wales and Scotland but not Northern Ireland where the unionist government has vowed to block any attempts to legalise it.
ACT Attorney-General Gordan Ramsay said he was delighted to have introduced the new legislation and looked forward to the day changes were made to the federal marriage act.
"These amendments make it clear that you are welcome here in the ACT and we will do all we can to remove discrimination," Mr Ramsay said.
"The change to the Marriage Act is in the hands of the Australian Parliament, as has been decided by the High Court of Australia. In the meantime, the ACT Government will continue to foster a society that does not discriminate against our LGBTIQ members."
Ms O'Brien said the two were excited at the amendment but the couple called on the federal government to make changes.
"Imagine if you couldn't marry the person you loved, how would you feel," Ms Marsh said.
"We'd love to actually get married."
