Open Post: Hosted By A Topless Seth Rogen And A Topless James Franco Jumping Out A Cake
And yet, that cake still isn't gayer than the She-Ra cake I want for my birthday.
Yesterday was the 40th anniversary of Jimmy Fallon's born day and one of his "gifts" was a giant fake cake full of piping hot douche cream. James Franco and his best brofriend forever Seth Rogen jumped out of the cake. They were living for it. They live for moments when they can get their nipples out together. Jimmy Fallon got another surprise when the legendary Stevie Wonder came out singing "Happy Birthday." Stevie was blinded again when James and Seth almost touched sweaty armpits while stripper dancing in that cake.
My only question is, were they bottomless too? I guess we'll never know the answer unless Jimmy later says that he took a bite out of that fake cake and for some reason it tasted like warm gouda, vinegar, butt sweat and dirty balls. Hmm, I pretty much just described the taste of the slice of cake I bought on sale from Food 4 Less the other day.
The Time Nicolas Cage Told Idris Elba That He Spent The Night In Dracula's Castle
Even with that jean vest and that newsboy cap, I still would and HOW.
Idris Elba did a Reddit AMA (via Vulture) yesterday and sadly nobody asked him to finally put an end to MicCordGate by posting a picture of his dick next to a mic cord so we'll know for sure what was in his pants that day. But somebody did ask him if he had any funny stories to tell about Nicolas Cage since he worked with that human bottle of crazy on Ghost Rider. Of course he had a funny Nicolas Cage story since I'm sure anyone who has ever come into contact with that mess has a funny story to tell:
"Yeah – Nic Cage came back one day on set, and he came down to set and he looked a little bit tired, a little bit – kind of like he'd ben up all night. So I was like 'Hey Nic man, how you doing man' and he said 'I'm alright' and I said 'You seem a little spoked out' and he said 'Yeah man, I went up to Dracula's castle…the ruins up in the mountains, and I stayed the night' and I said 'What?! Why?' and he said 'I just had to channel the energy, and it was pretty spooky up there.' We were shooting in Romania, Transylvania, and he just went up there to spend the night, as you do.
And then he walked away.
True story."
I love how Idris said "True story." He didn't need to say that at all. If Idris also said that Nicolas added that he woke up in the middle of the night in the castle when a sweet transvestite from Transylvania tried to seduce him and then he ended up singing about doing the Time Warp in the ballroom with a maid with an afro and a butler who looked like Samantha Ronson with a half weave, Idris still wouldn't need to say "True story." I'd believe it no matter what. Because every story that involves Nicolas Cage is a true story. True story.
The Fappening Is Still Happening
Insert ClayAikenMakingAJudgyYouGotWhatYouDeserveFace.jpeg here.
TMZ says that early this morning, hacked naked cell phone pictures of Kim Kartrashian ended up on 4Chan and Reddit. It's surprising that we were all able to get onto the Internet this morning. You'd think that naked pictures of Kim Kardashian would've crashed all the servers and turned the Internet into a pile of rubble, because all of us definitely have never seen every single damn inch of her naked ass body.
TMZ says that also this morning, private naked pictures of Vanessa Hudgens (whose been to the hacked naked picture rodeo before) and Hope Solo ended up on 4Chan. Uproxx and The Daily Beast says that the new round of victims also includes Aubrey Plaza, Hayden Panettiere, Mary-Kate Olsen, Lake Bell, Avril Lavigne, Kaley Cuoco and Leelee Sobieski. There's apparently also more pictures of Jennifer Lawrence. Reddit immediately shut down the new thread and since 4Chan has a new copyright infringement policy, they also deleted the pics.
So I guess this means that the FBI hasn't caught the hacker(s) yet. If the FBI wants to find the bitch who leaked Kim Kartarshian's pictures (Why do I feel like I'm always typing the words "leaked" and "Kim Kartrashian" in the same sentence?), all they have to do is follow the scent of self-tanner fumes, burnt nutsacks, Sasquatch saliva, desperation and Lucifer's ass juices and it'll lead them straight to Pimp Mama Kris' Hidden Hills lair. Who knew that PMK was a b/tard? But PMK is truly slipping. If she wanted to create a real scandal, she should've leaked pictures of Kim doing shocking things like changing her own baby's diaper or finishing the Highlights Magazine crossword puzzle.
Here's Kim wearing some kind of tube top sausage casing skirt in a studio parking lot a couple of days ago.
Martin Lawrence Finally Photographed Together (Sort Of)
I know, somebody should really come up with a different couple name for these two hos, because every time I see "Martin Lawrence," I get really confused when my eyes land on a picture of a white girl with Taylor Swift hair. I think to myself, "Did Sheneneh bleach her skin?" So yeah, they need a new couple name so the confusion can stop! Maybe JenRis? Or JMart? Or LaMart? Or La Wart? La Wart it definitely is!
Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin have reportedly been doing it for a few weeks now and even though they've been together in public places, there's zero pictures of them together. No grainy cell phone pictures. No slick pictures that a tricky trick took of themselves in the foreground and La Wart in the background. None of that. But at last night's iHeart Radio music festival at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin ended up in the same frame. We're getting closer to the truth!
People says that JLaw was at Coldplay's rehearsal and sang along. During their set at the iFart Radio music festival, she stood on the side and went to his dressing room afterward. Because you won't believe it until you hear it from an anonymous source, here's an anonymous source repeating what I just wrote in the sentence before this one:
"She was off to the side of the stage when he performed. After his set, she snuck back into his dressing room."
JLaw's PR team should leak a picture of them sucking on each other's mouths already. Because all we've got are stories of her going to Coldplay shows and singing along to every song, and a picture of her backstage with Chris Martin in the background. At this point, Jennifer Lawrence is coming off as Coldplay's #1 fan and a Chris Martin groupie stalker. I won't judge JLaw for knowing the words to every Coldplay song (yes, I will), but I will never be able to look at her if it came out that she's a Chris Martin groupie stalker. That's like saying that unsalted mashed cauliflower made with tap water is your favorite food ever. Even Taylor Swift would say, "Girl, love yourself more."

Hot Slut Of The Day!
Johnny O, the prince of freestyle!
Since Stevie B is the King of Freestyle, Johnny O might be considered the Prince of Freestyle. (Side note: You were not a freestyle singer in the 80s unless your stage name was a boy's nickname from the 50s followed by an initial. I really missed my calling. I could've been Mikey K, child freestyle singer of the 80s!) Johnny O (born name: Juan Ortiz) had the looks of a butch Prince mixed with a Latino Morris Day and his singing voice sounded like a nervous baby mumbling under his breath. Johnny's O biggest hit was 1988′s "Fantasy Girl" and every time I hear it, I think of my cousins blasting a warped copy of it on a boombox at family parties while dancing on top of chairs (aka the closest thing to a go go box) on the side driveway.
In life, there's a million unanswered questions, but one of life's biggest unanswered questions is, "Why isn't there a video for Fantasy Girl on YouTube?!" The closest thing I could find is this audio of "Fantasy Girl" paired with a picture of Johnny O dressed up like a sailor in the Tom of Finland world. The intro is really, really long, because back then, you needed time to warm up your dance moves before the lyrics popped up and you could really break it down.
Wikipedia says that Johnny O lives with his family in Florida and he still performs today. In 2007, he released a Christian dance album and you probably didn't read any of that since you're empty inside from Johnny O swallowing your soul as you stared into his eyes in that video.

FINALLY, Clay Aiken's Thoughts On The Fappening
We can finally close the chapter on The Fappening now that we have future North Carolina Congessman Clay Aiken's thoughts on it. Clay did an interview with The Washington Post (via HuffPo) about his campaign and they asked him what he thinks about Kate Upton, Jennifer Lawrence and dozens of other celebrities finding their naked pictures spread all over the Internet after they got hacked. Jennifer Lawrence won't be getting a sympathy bouquet of carnations and balloons from Clay Aiken anytime soon, because he thinks that she and all of the other celebrities who took pictures of their nipples and coochies got exactly what they deserve.
"Anybody who takes inappropriate pictures of themselves deserves exactly what they get."
Clay probably said that with confidence, because he just finished up yanking every pictures of his peen and spread ass cheeks off of THE CLOUD.
Clay's definition of "inappropriate" is totally different than mine. Pictures of tits, ass and chocha aren't "inappropriate" to me. I mean, it's just tits, ass and chocha. Now that picture of Clay Aiken in full Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream drag is highly inappropriate to me. It still haunts my nightmares.
Since taking pictures of your half-naked body is HIGHLY INAPPROPRIATE to Clay, I'm guessing he didn't feel any sympathy for himself when a trick he allegedly tried to hook up with on the Internet sold their conversation and webcam shots of him to The National Enquirer. (Clay has always denied that this is his ass.)
Clay also told The Washington Times that the hackers deserve to be hogtied and then he swerved back into the political lane since he's a serious politician now.
"Of course whoever [stole and released the photos] should be hogtied. And it's unfortunate that we don't have Internet security right now or the laws in place to protect people from pirating that stuff."
I know what Clay is really trying to do here. When Clay opens up his email every single morning, the first thing he sees is a picture of a 40-something Claymate with her mom jeans and cotton granny panties pulled down to her knees and on her crotch is a bushy patch of pubes with his initials shaved into them. This is his way of telling them to stop.

Go Back
A few weeks ago in Little Rock, AR, I used the Foursquare app on my phone to look up nearby restaurants for dinner, and found a local fish spot that lived up to its 8.3/10 rating. The next weekend I was in Charleston, SC, and checked-in at a restaurant that one of my foodie friends, whose opinion I trust, had checked-in at previously. I knew I had made the right choice in toughing out the hour-long wait.
But it seems that I'm in the minority of Foursquare users, who both check-in to a location regularly, and use the discovery features to find new places to go. That's why Foursquare announced this week that they're splitting their app into two—one called Swarm that will just allow users to check-in to their location, and another that will keep the name Foursquare, but will function as a way to find crowdsourced recommendations nearby, similar to Yelp.
The logic, apparently, is that having to check-in is a barrier for potential users who don't want to share their location, but might otherwise use and benefit from local search features and tips on restaurants, bars, and entertainment.
From a business perspective, this no doubt made sense to the Foursquare team (and investors) as a big step towards monetization and expansion for a startup that's been struggling to do both. But from a brand perspective, there's a risk the change in names and split experiences will alienate their core users who have spent the last five years building the mountain of data that makes this all possible.
Let's start with Swarm. While it was a nice touch to pull the name from the existing Foursquare vocabulary ("a place where a lot of people are checked in"), many people use Foursquare today for the opposite reason—because it connects them to curated network of like-minded friends that's often much, much smaller than their network on Facebook. A name that emphasizes the wider reach over the smaller circle may make current users wary of Foursquare's intentions, and misses the point—as the internet continues to grow, there's value in being able to carve out your own niche.
There's also the question of name equity. The Foursquare name has significant equity in the location-sharing space, and is most commonly associated with check-ins—even beating social Goliath Facebook at the check-ins space. Using the name for an app that will serve a completely different purpose, when its existing connotations might actually deter new users, doesn't make much sense. Instead, going the opposite route and keeping Foursquare as the name for the check-in app would help maintain consistency during the change, and require less investment to rebrand.
Overall, splitting the brand experience in two to gain a new mainstream audience that pushes away current users feels shortsighted. Why not reimagine the experience for current users, and re-envision them as part of the team, building the data infrastructure that powers local search? There's certainly power in making people feel useful. Or, why not turn Foursquare into an ingredient brand, with myriad possibilities for partnership? What starts as social doesn't always have to stay the course.
Getting this unbundling right and growing both apps into sustainable, unique offerings will take significant investment, especially with apps like Yelp standing strongly in the space. This could prove to be too much, and like Netflix and Qwikster, they may ultimately decide that they're better together. Either way, we're curious to see how this will affect the Foursquare brand in the critical months ahead.
For now, I'll still be checking in, but know that the day will come soon when I'll be more inclined to check out.

July 20, 2004
Albany-- In Dougherty County, election officials expected a fairly good turnout.
Things got off to a slow start Tuesday morning, but this is normally a busy time as people head to the polls after work. At the Beattie Road Church of Christ precinct, voters are still in line to cast ballots.
There's less than an hour before polls close in today's primary. It's still unclear how last minute voting will effect turnout, but the day definately got off to a slow start.
"There's a lot of interest. A lot going on. A lot of people interested in a lot of different races."
But even with interesting races, elections officials say by 2:00PM, the voter turnout hadn't been that high. "Right now including the absentee turnout it's around 21%. Some of our precincts are voting fairly heavily. Some of them are not quite up to par," said Elections supervisor Carolyn Hatcher.
Hatcher is banking on the after work crowd to boost those numbers. Still she says there is a plus, so far the election has gone on without a hitch. "It's been very smooth. I've been very pleased with our voters and our polls workers are doing a great job."
Even voters say they didn't run into problems casting their ballots. "I recognized it when I first looked at it very simple. No problems at all," said Voter Ella Yarbrough.
And poll workers and elections officials are hoping to keep that record of no problem going as they try to give these last minute voters a chance to cast ballots and hopefully increase the turnout numbers.

Sex-starved flies live shorter lives
Sexual frustration impairs the health of fruit flies and causes premature death, according to new research.
Scientists found that male flies who were stimulated to mate, but prevented from doing so, had their lives cut short by up to 40%.
Those allowed to copulate not only lived longer but suffered less stress.

reason for waking up today
My friend in high school had a crappy blue Chevy Nova. In case you're wondering, that actually was when Beverly Hills Cop was released. And my friend's Nova also sometimes popped itself out of park and rolled.
Back then, douchebags parked diagonally across four parking spaces out in the hinterlands of the parking lot, which was the style at the time. My friend would match the angle and park impossibly close to the douchebag's driver's door. It was a thing of beauty.

The spider, dropping down from twig,
Unwinds a thread of his devising;
A thin, premeditated rig
To use in rising.
And all the journey down through space,
In cool descent, and loyal-hearted,
He builds a ladder to the place
From which he started.
Thus I, gone forth, as spiders do,
In spider's web a truth discerning,
Attach one silken strand to you
For my returning.

Dining Services incorporates many sustainability initiatives in day-to-day operations.
In 2008 we began crushing our metal cans and transporting them to a scrap yard. The money received from scrap was enough to cover the transportation and increased labor charges to do this. In two years Dining Services has recycled more than 4 tons of metal food containers.
Shortly after that, we faced the challenge of our styrofoam usage. Normal plastic takes about 400 years to degrade. We found replacement products made from corn, sugarcane, bamboo or recycled materials that are biodegradable and formulated to degrade in a few months when buried in a landfill. Dining Services has completely eliminated styrofoam usage.
In the fall of 2008 we contracted with a local company to pick up our used fryer oil, which was changed to a 0 trans fat oil in 2007. The local company would recycle the oil and Dining Services would save some money on disposal.
In December of 2008 Dining Services began participating in the University-wide recycling program. Instead of transporting our metal cans to the scrap yard, they could be put into this single stream recycling along with our cardboard and be picked up by our local company. Dining Services would recycle approximately 600 pounds or more daily.
Spring 2009 saw a change of dishwashing chemicals. We began using a green product made from biodegradable or environmental friendly raw materials with 100% recyclable packaging. This has significantly reduced our water and chemical usage.
Also in 2009 we began using LeanPath, an electronic pre-consumer food waste tracking system. At the end of a trial period we saw a 50% reduction in pre-consumer waste. The system was fully implemented in all kitchens in 2011. We have developed a "two-pronged" approach to reducing waste. The first prong focuses on reducing over-production using Just-In-Time philosophy. The second prong aids in waste reduction by safely repurposing over-produced food items. The staff has become creative at using items such as macaroni and cheese or popcorn chicken as pizza toppings and other imaginative solutions.
Dining Services is dedicated to creating and enhancing an environmentally friendly business. We have implemented many solutions already and are continuously looking for new opportunities to become better environmental stewards. Many of our endeavors are started or carried out with the assistance of all levels of employees and student groups from across campus.

VENICE -- British director Peter Greenaway attempts to unravel the riddles surrounding Rembrandt and one of his most famous paintings in a new film, suggesting foul play was behind his slide into penury.
"Nightwatching" is a story about how Rembrandt's picture of the Amsterdam Musketeer Militia, known as the "Night Watch", came to be commissioned, and explores what secrets Rembrandt may have revealed in the masterpiece.
The painting has perplexed art historians for centuries, and Greenaway said his theory was as valid as any other.
"Of course there have been lots and lots of theories, but we would like in this film to offer you another theory," Greenaway told reporters in Venice, where the movie is in the main competition at the film festival.
"There's no such thing as history, there's only historians. I can't prove to you every single fact, but you can't disprove it either."
He said there were at least 51 "mysteries" in the painting, including the young girl or dwarf in a crowd of men, the significance of the musket being fired, whether the two main men were having an affair and whether the man in the background, with one eye showing, was a self-portrait by the artist.
In the film, Rembrandt reluctantly accepts a commission to paint the pompous musketeers, but weaves into his work accusations of murder while sending up their airs and graces.
The movie hypothesizes that the equivalent of the "nightclub crowd" of 17th Century Amsterdam sought to ruin Rembrandt as revenge by sullying his reputation and trying to blind him.
Greenaway said he wondered why Rembrandt, successful during his own lifetime, had descended into poverty after the Night Watch was completed in the 1640s.
"Fifteen years late he was a pauper, he was bankrupt. It's always been very, very difficult to explain this riches-to-rags story," said Greenaway.
The director said his film was about art itself, and why painters and film makers sought to create the illusion that what they were portraying was real.
In "Nightwatching", Greenaway uses theatrical sets and lighting techniques that recall the masterpieces of 17th Century Northern European art.
Rembrandt is played by Briton Martin Freeman, most famous for his portrayal of Tim in the hit TV comedy "The Office".
With plenty of swearing, nudity and bawdy behavior, the film tries to demystify the character of Rembrandt.
"I think that the sense of humor is quite important to bring to this character," he said. "It prevents him from being the great tortured artist who is somehow ... from another planet."

John Martyn is a great musician, I've liked his music since seeing him play live in the late 80s. In some ways it's strange that he's not better known. I'd recommend 'Bless The Weather' as an introduction which was recorded in 1971 and featured some of the same musicians to those on 'Bryter Layter' in Richard Thompson, Dave Pegg and Dave Mattacks and was also engineered by John Wood, and has a great laid back sound.

Well I bought Solid Air based on the acolade it has got on this forum, and I have to say - it is amazing.
Other than The Easy Blues (which I can't stand!) every song is gold, particular favourites are Don't Want to Know and Go Down Easy. After only a fortnight or so, it has become engrained in my consciousness, and has literally been all I've listened to.
I had heard of him before, he was on that Folk Britannia series shown on BBC a while ago (as was Nick if anyone watched it) and he stuck out in my memory as saying he "wasn't into all that political stuff, love is what its all about for me".
Now just ordered Bless The Weather

I adore John Martyn so much. I saw him play twice last year, and he was fantastic.
London Conversation
is a beautiful, beautiful album, and, although I quite like it when he goes electric, I don't like it as much as when he was all folksy and acoustic.
It does strike me as a little woeful that he's stuck doing the
Solid Air
tour over and over for money, instead of always playing his other, superb newer material. A recent song of his,
Under My Wing
is one of the loveliest, catchiest songs I've heard in years.

Maybe he does, I'm not well informed, but it seems Martyn seldom tours outside of the British isles, is that true? Strange, he should have an audience around Europe. Maybe not as big as in England, but that is to be expected. I would love to see him, Bert Jansch, Davy Graham, Donovan, etc.

Getting his albums in chronological order now - he is an amazing artist, its surprising he isn't more well known.
London Conversation is a great debut. His cover of Don't Think Twice is quality, and Back to Stay is one of my favourite of his tracks. You can clearly hear the influence of Bert Jansch on some of his songs as well.
The Tumbler wasn't as good. It just seems too fast tempo and more of a showcase for his guitar skills. The tracks with the jazz flute stand out but the rest didn't impress.
Strombringer and Road To Ruin are both pretty enjoyable and set up Martyn's more laid-back, soft sound. They both got only poorish reviews on amazon.co.uk but I don't see why.
Bless the Weather is one of the best I've got so far - Really laid back music and the lyrics are beautiful.
Solid Air - Great of course
Inside Out is the most recent one I've bought, and probably the best I've heared yet. Its close to a masterpeice, and one of my favourite albums in my collection. The title track is stunning and Beverley is one of the most beautiful songs I've heared.
Just ordered Sunday's Child, Live at Leeds and One World as they were on offer for 3 for £15.
Can't wait.
Thanks for bringing him to my attention people

Stormbringer is one of my favorite albums.I like the songs John The Baptist,(Levon Helm from the The Band plays on this song) and Traffic-Light Lady. Paul Harris play piano on Stormbringer.He also plays the piano on the song One of These Things First off of Bryter Layter.
The Tumbler album is not bad,it's a grower....
City lights don't shine,they glare
and your music doesn't speak,it swears
and in your streets,the ghosts have forgotten why they're there

I've only heard Sweet Little Mysteries - a 2cd Island sampler. The first cd is wonderful, the second I don't listen to much (aside from "Sweet Little Mysteries"!)
I have London Conversation but it hasnt really grown on me.. shall have to give it another listen
"Solid air" "bless the weather" "head and heart" - these are all wonderful. Sweet Little Mysteries might be out of print howsoever..
"May you never" "you can discover" - great stuff!

Maybe the answer is for the city to put so many temporary roadblocks and requirements up that the effort for a permit isn't worth the trouble — until it can be done right.
Salt Lake City does have a brand here to protect. Its name has landed in the slime and gutter of this race, when it should be on the champion's podium. How valuable is that good name, could that name be, given the growth in popularity of marathons around the country? It's an extreme example, but New York City's marathon had 44,000 finishers in 2010. That's a lot of entry fees, a lot of boost to the local economy, a lot of goodwill shared.
Think about what the Salt Lake City Marathon could be, should be, if it were run legit — terrific location, challenging venue, beautiful scenery, fantastic community, vast participation, great destination, and impressive experience for everyone involved. That's what this event might be, a destination marathon where elite athletes and local and visiting runners come and stay — and cover the same ground and distance to test themselves and celebrate the achievement.
In the great pantheon of American marathons, Salt Lake City might never be Boston or New York or even St. George, but it still should be something north of what it's been best known for in the past: shady business, bad debt and broken promises.

Not a single feeling felt

Am on trial, feels a coma
reduced to fever, in fear
yes I love will never say.
Time passed to clarity in

Most kind tragic plot arc
planted seed inside, made
often mistakes, now knows

alpha first then to omega.
Reset heart aches now for

This is a root method that has worked perfectly on T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900T. One best feature of this root process is that it doesn't trip the KNOX secure boot binary counter and easing the pain of worrying about the KNOX warranty void 0×1 red flag. Unfortunately, once you trip the KNOX flag you can't reset it back to normal again. So the concrete solution on how to root with T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 is by using the Root_de_la_vega, which is designed to bypass and will do no harm the KNOX security suite.
Also Read: Root 4.4.2 KitKat Update on T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3
The Root de la vega has been developed and brought to us by @designgears (the creator of Root_de_la_Vega) and @Chainfire (the man who brings us the SuperSU and CF-Auto-Root for a very long time now). As many of us from Android community, including Android developers, advanced users and tinkerers have been aware of the latest Samsung KNOX security apps for it limits us into further personal customization.
The vital component of Root de la Vega on Galaxy Note 3 equipped with KNOX
If you wonder how KNOX actually works, here's a brief explanation so there wouldn't too much confusion why we highly recommend this as the best approach to root the T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900T. The KNOX apps is a security platform designed by Samsung engineers and can be found on some newer Samsung smartphones and tablets. This is all explained in the KNOX white paper available on the Samsung website but this one is just a small detail about why if we root it triggers this KNOX platform.
KNOX has its own isolated and secure environment within the mobile device, so-called container. One of these containers also includes a secured bootloader. The bootloader is the place in the Android system (Qualcomm SecureBoot) where tinkerers should avoid from messing it up. Once the bootloader detects any unsigned ROMs, kernels, modem, including root kernels it trips the KNOX WARRANTY VOID flag is set to 0×1. In short, it will switched the device into CUSTOM when you try to put something else in there that it doesn't approve by the KNOX security system. KNOX has its own isolated memory causing red-flag once it gets re-written by any unsecure boot (kernel), recovery and other system images that are not officially designed by Samsung.
This security platform can be actually seen when you reboot your Galaxy Note 3 into Odin download mode screen, and it tells you that device is switched to CUSTOM from Official status. When this binary counter has being tripped-off it will automatically void the smartphone's warranty and causing the KNOX warranty void 0×1 red-flag. The problem is, it is not reversible by any means by now, you can't turn it back to normal status again. So the only solution by this scenario in order for you to root your T-Mo Galaxy Note 3 without harming that KNOX thing, you should only use this Root de la Vega, that is basically compatible and friendly with KNOX suite and most importantly it will not trip the binary counter.
Procedure: Root Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900T (T-Mobile) version
Again, this root method is for Galaxy Note 3 with model number SM-N900T only and should not ever going to use with other Galaxy Note 3 models, this root file builds are specifically built for the Galaxy Note SM-N900T, using this files to a different model number will result into soft-bricks. Meaning you can messed-up your handset in no time if you'll just play around. You should check your Galaxy Note 3 model specification details first by simply dial these codes *#1234# or by going to your device Settings>> About Device, then look for the 'model number' should be SM-N900T in the information. Below are the list of Galaxy Note 3 model numbers including each respective rooting guide if available:

We and in-behalf of the developer of this root method shall not take any responsibility when anything happens to your device. We encourage you to do a careful research first before attempting to use of these files that are associated with this guide. You may proceed at your own risk!
Your Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900T Root Tools:
Download Root de la Vega Files
Grab the correct root files that corresponds to your Galaxy Note 3 N900T firmware build numbers. There are three different files you need to download (1) firmware build number (2) the CSC file (country/carrier specification code) represents according to your country of origin and (3) the root files containing the SuperSU and other stuff and Odin3_3.09 flasher tool.
To get your Note 3 current firmware build number just dial this code *#1234# then look for info the current Android 4.3 firmware build.
Kernel Build Date: Fri Sep 13 14:52:13 KST 2013
Then download the correct build number for the AP and CSC version. If your current firmware build was not included in the list, you may ask for it through [designgears], the developer himself.
This files covers for the UBMI7 firmware:
Firmware build: (N900TUVUBMI7_VEGA.tar.md5)
CSC files: (N900TTMBBMI7_CSC.tar.md5)
Root files: (Root_de_la_Vega.7z)
You must head-over to XDA-developer original-thread to grab any latest root files for any particular OTA update software build number version you might have right now. And you can also connect with the developer for any further questions. Below are just a guide which cover things that may help to any new Android users before engaging into rooting.
Download Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 USB driver which is now on Kies 3 for Android 4.3, this is only needed if you have not yet installed Kies 3 in your computer. download here
Just unzip the file, you can use winzip or 7zip tool for extracting the compressed file, then run the "Samsung_Mobile_Phones_USB_Driver_22.214.171.124.exe" program to install the USB Driver. Without the USB driver your computer will not recognized your Galaxy Note 3 device.
Getting Started Into Your Note 3 Root Thing:
- First thing first , fully recharge your Note 3 battery before engaging into flashing process. Power interruption or failure during flashing process might ruin your device in no time.
- Back-up all important files, this root method will delete all of your files that are stored from your device. So copy all of it and save it in a very safe place in your computer. When we say all files, this includes contacts, messages, call logs, photos, videos and even apps.
- Prepare a Windows base OS computer or laptop, Odin flasher tool will not run on Mac and other OSX.
- Use the supplied USB cable, a bad USB cable causing flashing errors.
- Unzip or extract the files, compressed file can be extracted using 7zip, winzip, winrar or any unzipping program in your computer.
- Enable USB debugging mode if you are having issues connecting your device to the computer try to enable the this option. In your Samsung Galaxy Note 3, go to Settings>> About device>> then look for the firmware build number and then tap that build number for around 7-times until a message pop-ups that says something "congratulations you are now a developer".
- Remove the external micro SD card if you have one, to avoid any failures and error during the flashing process.
- TURN OFF the Reactivation Lock – juts tap on Settings>>Security>>Reactivation Lock and then uncheck the Turn Reactivation lock on.
Working with Galaxy Note 3 Download Mode and Odin Flashing
Run the Odin3_v3.09.exe in your computer desktop.
Head on Odin chekcboxes options, make sure the "Re-Partition is unchecked. Both Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time check-boxes leave it as checked.
Boot your Galaxy Note 3 into Download Mode: Turn it off, then Press the Volume Down+Home+Power keys simultaneously, until a warning screen prompts you that let you choose to continue or cancel. To continue juts hit the Volume Up key then you will see a download mode screen.
Grab the USB cable then hook-up your Galaxy Note 3 to the computer. Look for Odin's ID:COM bar, it should turn to blue color and shows you the USB port number of your Galaxy Note 3 connection with the computer. There is also a word that says "Added" in the log-cat box. If you ain't see any response, try to recheck the USB cable and re-install the USB Driver.
Now hover your mouse to Odin's button.
- Click the AP button then browse and select this file 'N900TUVUBMI7_VEGA.tar.md5′ Then wait a couple of seconds for it reads the MD5 checksum for a while.
- Click the CSC button the load the default CSC file 'N900TTMBBMI7_CSC.tar.md5′
If it happens that you cannot click the CSC button, do this: Look for the 'Odin.3ini' file then right-click to it. Now scroll down and find this text [ButtonOption] then change that from CSC=0 to CSC=1 to make the CSC button clickable.
Hit the Start Button
Once both AP and CSC files filled with the right files, simply click that Odin's "START" button to begin flashing. Wait and watch the progress bar as it will show you the exact time how it completes the flashing and it takes a couple of minutes before the flashing finishes, you have a time to relax for a while.
A huge word "PASS" will then prompts you once it has successfully finished. Wait a couple of seconds again until your Galaxy Note restarts.
Copy the Root file to the Root-directory of the internal storage
When you already unzip or extract the Root_de_la_vaga.zip file. You will then see these two files below:
- root_files
- root_de_la_vega.sh
These contains the SuperSU and other Root files stuff.
Right click "My Computer" then locate your phone in the list of hardware drives. Now copy these two files (root_files h and root_de_la_vega.sh) to the root directory of your Galaxy Note 3 data storage.
- - /My Computer/[Your Phone Name]/Phone/
- root_de_la_vega.sh
- root_files (folder)
Very Important! Reboot your Galaxy Note 3
Once your Galaxy Note 3 completely restarted, locate those two files again (root_de_la_vega.sh and root_files) then this time delete the two files. Once deleted Restart your Galaxy Note 3 again, then disconnect it from the computer connection.
That's all! You should now have a successfully rooted your Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900T, which is a T-Mobile version. Just share to us if this root method has perfectly worked on your Note 3 device.

The project will focus on the value chain from raw materials and processing to digestion and cells in the body.
In Norway, as in the rest of the industrialised world, the prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased dramatically in recent years and the health consequences of this trend present a major challenge. Obesity is associated with the metabolic syndrome (defined as a cluster of disorders, including insulin resistance, high blood pressure, impaired cholesterol and abdominal obesity) and poses increased risk of lifestyle diseases like cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. The prevalence of overweight and obesity in Norway used to be very low compared to other European countries.
Along with the increased prevalence, changes in meal patterns and food culture have taken place in the direction of a more Western diet, and it is therefore of great interest to explore the health potential of meals based on traditional Norwegian raw materials and Norwegian food production. In order to provide an understanding of how meals, and interactions between meal components, affect the development of metabolic syndrome, the project will include use of in vitro and in vivo models to study biological mechanisms.
The present project aims to provide a better understanding of the effect of diet on various functions of the gastrointestinal tract, including digestion of bioactive components (fibre, polyphenols, milk proteins, unsaturated fat), satiety signalling and immuno modulation, all relevant for the development of metabolic syndrome.
The main target is to provide Norwegian industries with expertise which make them better prepared to:
- Develop palatable and attractive products and meals composed and processed so that they can be a part of a healthy diet in the prevention of obesity and metabolic syndrome
- Change the costumers opinion of industrial processed food
- Promote the use of regional raw materials
Sub projects
- Stability of bioactive components during processing and storage
- Bioactive components during digestion
- In vitro colon fermentation
- Effects on the immune system
The project is a interdisciplinary co-operation between University of life science (UMB), National Institute of Nutrition and Seafood Research (Nifes) and Nofima.

As you can tell from my last name, I do have some Chinese blood running through my veins but this doesn't mean I love eating Chinese food! In fact, I hate it! They all taste the same! Almost all chinese restaurants serve the same food, same name, and same old crappy yucky crap they thought all of us Filipinos love!
But then comes "Modern China"… A restaurant owned by one of the most enthusiastic foodie I've met in my lifetime, Mr. George Pua. His love for food is nothing compared to other restaurateurs out there. He knows his stuff probably as good as he knows his wife and kids. His excitement for food led him to opening his restaurant in 2005. With great knowledge about Chinese cuisine because of his extensive travels abroad, he and his experienced native Chinese chefs were able to come up with flavors nothing like other Chinese restaurants out there have! The taste, the aroma, the texture, the spices… ummmm! You'll be begging for more even just by browsing through the pictures in their menu!
Oh, and one more thing, if what you want is not in the menu and its something their chefs can do, you can request for it! How's that for customer satisfaction?! You really get what you want! I did!

Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu is so dissatisfied with President Obama's gun control proposal, he sent him a letter criticizing it. The letter explains Babeu's stance on gun control, which defends the 2nd Amendment and states the proposal would "hinder the ability of good citizens to defend themselves and others against those who wish to cause them harm through the use of deadly force." Babeu further tells Obama if any law is created by executive order of his office that is contrary to the U.S. Constitution, him and his office won't carry it out. At the end of the letter, Babeu quotes Former President Ronald Regan, who said, "The right of the citizen to keep and bear arms must not be infringed if liberty in America is to survive."Babeu sent the letter on Jan. 16, but hasn't heard from Obama or anybody from his administration. The Sheriff came to FOX 10 to further explain why he wrote the letter and his stance on gun control in America.
Full letter:
Dear Mr. President,Last year, I was re-elected overwhelmingly to my second term as Sheriff of Pinal County, Arizona. The citizens of Pinal County have placed their sacred trust into my hands and the hands of my office to keep them and their families safe.Our nation has seen several tragic attacks against innocent adults and children by criminals armed with guns. Because of these attacks, many politicians including yourself have used these tragic events as a means to push their agenda related to "gun control."America has seen an even higher number of our citizens killed by impaired drivers involved in automobile collisions. Why are you not seeking to remove vehicles from our roadways?….it's because you realize it's the drivers who are at fault and not the vehicle they were driving. This same analogy holds true with these shootings….it's not the gun that's at fault but rather the criminals who use them. Do you honestly feel that any criminal or someone who is mentally ill will obey an executive order made by you related to "gun control?" Criminals get their name, because they don't follow our laws already Mr. President. I have sworn a solemn oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America when I was first sworn in as an Army Private, later as an Army Officer, then as a Police Officer and now twice as the constitutionally elected Sheriff. You too Mr. President have taken the same oath, therefore I am gravelly alarmed - just as most Americans are that you would attempt to circumvent the Constitution of the United States.The most important office in our republic is that of a private citizen. You are not a dictator or a king, who can act unilaterally and ignore our legislative process of law making. All elected leaders are empowered as a trustee of the people we are elected to serve. We are given designated and limited powers. Your actions and quest for unconstitutional power threatens the future of our sacred Republic and the Liberty we all hold so dear. Your own administration during, "Operation Fast and Furious" facilitated and approved the transfer of over 2,000 weapons to the Mexican Drug Cartels who the Mexican Government is at war against and over60,000 people have been killed. Those same weapons have made their way back into the United States and have been used to kill and injure our citizens and members of law enforcement, yet now you threaten to use an executive order to take away the 2nd Amendment Rights of our citizens?Mr. President, if you attempt to carry through with your proposal, it will hinder the ability of good citizens to defend and protect themselves and others against those who wish to cause them harm through the use of deadly force. Your actions would turn many good citizens, who wish to maintain their God given Constitutional Rights to bear arms, into criminals.I am writing you this letter today to inform you that any "law" or regulation created by an executive order of your office which is contrary to what the Constitution of the United States of America says, shall be deemed as unlawful and shall not be carried out by myself or my office.I will also push for legislation which would make it a crime for any federal law enforcement officer to infringe upon any of Constitutional rights of the citizens I am sworn to protect. Neither myself nor you have any right to infringe upon the 2nd Amendment Constitutional Rights of our citizens. Former President Ronald Regan said it best, "The right of the citizen to keep and bear arms must not be infringed if liberty in America is to survive."With grave concern,Paul Babeu, SheriffPinal County, Arizona

Moving along the art historical timeline of the 20th century we will discuss art movements such as German Expressionism, Cubism, Dadaism, Surrealism, and Pop Art. Furthermore, to better grasp the vast cultural shifts that occurred during this century, we will investigate the meanings of modernism and postmodernism.
Summer Teacher Institute programming will include special guest lecturers, docent-led gallery tours, curriculum development brainstorming sessions, and hands–on art making workshops. Programming is open to PreK-12th grade teachers of all disciplines, as well as pre-service, retired, museum, college, and community art educators.

The issue with spellthreads, at least on my server, is two fold. First off, spellthread are going for around 400 gold, which barely is enough to cover a stack of volatile air to make it. In fact, its less than it! While spellthreads are consistant sellers, you will not make much of a profit from them.
The second point I want to raise is that 80% of the time, epic crafted gear sells for more per dreamcloth than spellthread. Now, that epic gear will have a harder time selling, especially if the purchase is not timed right, but its better than spellthread, where there are already too many people looking to make a profit from it.
Keep in mind, these are all based off my server prices, but its better for me to craft ~ 1 epic every week (give or take) and post it up on the AH (I usually go for whatever is highest priced/least competition). PvP gear is actually more profitable than spellthread, because at least for me, the price of embersilk has dropped down to around 2g a piece.
Pyromelter, you described spellthread as low volume, high return, but there are so many tailors competing on my server, that the price is driven as low as it can physically get just to sell. This happens to all epics and dreamcloth based items, but like I said, spellthread is actually the worst (again based off my servers economics).

FARGO (KFGO-AM) -- A rural Wheatland, North Dakota man has decided to give up the rights to 170 dogs that were seized from his property earlier this month.
Darcy Smith is a dog breeder. Most of the dogs were in poor condition and had been crammed into cages. They were treated at the Casselton Veterinary Clinic and have been placed in foster homes across the region.
Cass County Sheriff Paul Laney says they'll soon be be available for adoption through "4 Luv of Dogs" and other organizations.
Asst. State's Attorney Tanya Johnson Martinez says veterinarian bills have reached about $30,000. Prosecutors were prepared to ask a judge to order that Smith be responsible for the costs of their care had the dogs been returned to him.

898cc, 148bhp, 170mph, Insurance group 17
A step forward from the old 848, now littered in rider aids like traction control, ABS, EBC (Engine brake Control) all as standard quick-shifter. The ergonomics are more rider friendly, it's easier and more forgiving and it looks stunning mirroring the line of the original Panigale. But, more importantly, the 899's quicker and lighter than the old bike, too. Despite ...

MV Agusta's new 148bhp F3 800, boasts 20bhp more power than its F3 675 baby brother, a massive 30bhp more in the midrange and higher spec cycle parts such as Brembo Monobloc calipers. Yes, it's more expensive, too, but the F3 800 is the most sorted, enjoyable and fun MV Agusta we've ridden in recent times, true exotica and far ...
125cc, 16bhp, 75mph, Insurance group 7
Moto Hispania is a Spanish company with a reputation for quality at a price, which sums up the RX125R to a Tee. The newcomer is a stylish, sports learner 125 with a Yamaha-alike four-stroke engine. It's competitively priced, with sports biased handling, big bike looks and a reliable engine.
249cc, 53bhp, 139mph, Insurance group 10
Kawasaki's KR-1S was the quickest mass-produced, 250 two-stroke ever (139mph being recorded in a 1990 speed test), being quicker than both Suzuki's RGV and even Aprilia's later (but RGV-powered) RS250. On the downside it came with slightly questionable reliability and handling that could tank slap you into casualty. Dangerous, but hugely addictive.
1250cc, 180bhp, 190mph, Insurance group 17
The Roehr is a very exclusive, hand-built, all-American sports bike using a supercharged Harley Davidson 1250cc V-twin stolen from a V-Rod. The frame was designed by Walter Roehr himself. It's not just a gimmick either, it works and, considering the weight of the Harley engine, handles far better than you'd think.
1225cc, 121bhp, 160mph, Insurance group 17
Guzzi go modern. While most of their bikes trade on heritage, style and charisma the MGS-01 has a high-tech 21st century chassis with an intelligently updated version of the V-twin engine that's at the heart of the brand. It's only available as a race bike but we're hopeful of a road version soon.

Some of you may be wondering why I'm writing about fundamentals of mechanical engineering. Actually, This posting is about statics in programming. Other words sometimes used for statics are globals, singletons or pure evil. The goal of this post is to show why you should avoid statics/globals/singletons in your own code, and what you can gain by doing so.

It looks like what he's saying is that singletons are ok if you don't have mutable data in them or make their methods have (uncontrolled) side effects. Isn't that true of much of programming?
