Health and Fitness is and has been an integral part of my every day life. My determination, strong work ethic and perseverance have provided me with new opportunities to pursue my passion for personal fitness. Weights and gym life have given me an outlet to relieve stress and gain mental clarity.
I developed a deep passion for sports at a very young age. Just like any young Canadian boy growing up, it was my ultimate dream to play in the NHL. I ate, slept, and breathed hockey. At the age of sixteen, I took the opportunity to move to the United States to continue my path in making my childhood dream a reality. When playing at an elite level, I soon realized how fundamental off-season and off ice training was and began acquiring more knowledge; eventually designing my own programs. A combination of nutrition, mental preparation, and hours of training allowed me to become an effective player on the ice. After playing a couple seasons of junior hockey, I decided it was time to discover a profession that allowed me to pursue my passion for health and fitness. Last May, I completed my undergraduate degree with a Bachelors Degree in Science, majoring in Exercise Science and Human Performance and Fitness.
I am so excited to be a part of Team Blitz. As a trainer, I look forward to working with members of all ages and experience. By providing an individualized program that match lifestyle and goals, the positive impact of diet and exercise will be experienced on a daily basis. I design programs that will challenge people to reach their individualized goals and lead to outstanding results that will increase confidence, motivation and positivity.

Michael and his Pipe
Yesterday, ESPN Analyst Michael Irvin was arrested on drug paraphernalia charges while driving through Plano, Texas. During a routine traffic stop, police searched Irvin's vehicle and found a "drug pipe". While the rest of the sports media gears up for the usual feeding frenzy, I want to be the first to stand up in defense of this gentle TV sports pundit. While nobody deserves to be arrested on trumped up pseudo-drug charges, Michael deserves it even less than most former NFL players.
Why am I so outraged? First of all, I believe drug paraphernalia laws are totally unjust. Sure, drugs are a terrible threat to America's youth... but I've never heard of anyone who's life was ruined by drug accessories. "I had a beautiful wife, a fulfilling job... and I threw it all away when I purchased this pipe off the internet - and I never even used it!" This makes no sense. And furthermore, the laws are written so vaguely, virtually anything could be considered "drug paraphernalia". I've been to college... I've seen people turn all sorts of crap into bongs: soda cans, sex toys, various fruits and vegetables. Next time you get pulled over for a lapsed registration, will they throw you in jail just for having a bag of groceries? They just might - especially if you own the Dallas Cowboys career pass receptions record (750)!
Also, drug paraphernalia laws aren't consistent with other laws in this country. Consider this: it would be illegal for me to own a nuclear warhead. And I'm mostly OK with that. But... if I happen to own a beautiful wool nuclear warhead cozy, knitted for me by my dear grandma - does that mean I should be put in jail? Of course not. So why should it be different with drug paraphernalia? As anyone will tell you, one need not smoke crack in order to appreciate the beauty of a finely crafted crack pipe. I own at least a dozen pipes and I don't smoke. I'm strictly into the needle drugs.
Even if these laws weren't absurd, the specifics of Irvin's situation are such that no ethical D.A. would ever charge him. After the incident, Irvin told the Associated Press that the pipe "belonged to a friend" who he had just driven to rehab. One might ask... why didn't he just throw it away? I would guess that he held onto it for the same reason I keep an ashtray in my apartment. I don't smoke, but I have friends who do - so it's just a common courtesy to keep an ashtray available for them when they come over. Michael Irvin doesn't (currently) smoke crack, but he keeps a pipe around, just in case one of his passengers needs to smoke a little crack. On the way to rehab. The only reason Irvin is in this situation is because he is a good friend.
I wish more of my friends were like Michael Irvin.

Fun Facts: Demolition Derby
Everyone loves a good demolition derby... it's an American tradition! But did you know that our friends in Great Britain also enjoy watching cars smash each other into oblivion? However, in Britain, they don't call these exciting spectacles "demolition derbies". You see... for British people, a "derby" is actually a hat.
For this reason, British people must reserve the term "demolition derby" for when it is necessary to refer to an extremely destructive hat (such as the evil, robotic fedora that nearly destroyed Manchester in 1973).
In Great Britain, demolition derbies are called "banger races". However, many European fans of the sport argue that this term is poorly chosen, and likely to cause confusion. You see, in England, sausages are often called "bangers", so one might hear the term "banger races" and imagine some event in which sausages are raced around a track! Of course, there is rich tradition of competitive sausage racing in Britain, but these events are called "faggot races". No, really... because, in Britain, a popular variety of sausages/meatballs are commonly referred to as "faggots". It is important to note that most sausage racing enthusiasts would prefer not to be called "faggot racers", for pretty obvious reasons.
Not surprisingly, there can be major misunderstandings when British tourists bring their colorful sausage terminology to the United States. In fact, the US Tourism Board states that 304 British tourists became the victims of aggravated assault in 2004 while simply attempting to order breakfast at a Denny's or Cracker Barrel restaurant.
Now you know. And knowing is half the battle.

Game Review: 50 Cent - Bulletproof
Getting shot nine times was just the beginning.
I remember when rappers were all about killing other rappers. And police officers! But that was before the emergence of 50 Cent. "Fitty" showed us that anyone can go around shooting people - but it takes a real man to get shot - over and over again.
Think about it: Tupac got shot. So did Biggie. And don't forget Jam Master Jay. But can you name any rappers that actually shot someone else? The first one that comes to mind is an MC called "Shyne". Never heard of him? He's the one who took the fall when Sean "P Diddy (or whatever the fuck he's calling himself this week)" Combs decided to shoot up an NYC nightclub. Basically, Shyne was Diddy's bitch - and his album flopped. Old school rapper Slick Rick also shot some people, and it didn't do much for his career either. Right now he's just trying to avoid getting deported. So listen up kids: if you want to be a famous rapper when you grow up, don't go around shooting people. Instead, try to get yourself shot... or at least stabbed.
50 Cent has been shot, stabbed - I heard he was even decapitated a couple of times. As a result, not only is the man a famous rapper, but he's got his very own video game. The game is called 50 Cent: Bulletproof... and boy is it awesome! Rappers have put out video games before, but never like this. 50 Cent's game is truly innovative. In most action games, players run around an urban environment, merrily shooting everyone in their path. However, Bulletproof is the first game where the object is for players to get themselves shot - AS MANY TIMES AS POSSIBLE. As you wander through each level, you must seek out drug dealers, petty thieves, disgruntled high school students and antagonize them until they pull out their firearms and put a few caps into your ass. As you successfully collect bullet wounds, you will see your Street Cred Meter (located on the lower left corner of the screen) rise. For each level, you must reach a specific Street Cred target in order to advance in the game.
In early levels, this is pretty easy. Wandering around Queens and various bad areas of New Jersey, pretty much everyone wants to blast a few rounds at you - especially if you activate "Rappin' Mode", by tapping the X button (this must be used sparingly, though - 50's Street Cred Meter decreases rapidly every time he tries to rap). However, as the game progresses, you find yourself in suburban and rural areas where citizens are far less liberal with their gatt usage. When you do manage to get some hot lead shot in your direction, you will find that the shooters have poor marksmanship compared to gun-wielders from early levels. This is when players must send 50 Cent into a slow-motion "Bullet-time" mode... which allows Fitty to dive into the path of any stray ballistics.
Also included on the game disc are a bunch of music videos as well as "4 CDs worth of 50 Cent and G-Unit music". I'm not sure what the purpose of this is - I think it might be used as a sort of punishment for players who fail to get 50 shot enough times in a given level - "ATTENTION PLAYA: if you don't get yo' ass shot in the next 30 seconds, you'll have to sit through an excruciating remix of Magic Stick feat. Lil Kim".
Anyway, this game is pretty hot. I'll give it nine Joey's... one for each time 50 got shot. (although, in reality, he only got shot 3 times... alas, there's no street cred for suckas who only get shot 3 times)

Movie Review: Doom
What do you get when you spell Doom backwards? Mood. Specifically, you get a very BAD mood - the sort of mood that only comes from knowing that you just wasted time and money on a total piece of crap. Walking into the theater, I had such high hopes for Doom... I really couldn't have anticipated the brutal disappointment I would be feeling when I left.
It started off well enough. I brought my own wireless Logitech controller to the theater. I didn't know how many controller ports the movie theater was equipped with, and I sure as hell didn't want to share with anyone. And it was a damn good thing I brought it, since I couldn't see one single plug-in port anywhere in the aisles! I was afraid that with everyone trying to play at once, they'd have to split the screen up into so many different windows that the frame rate would take a massive hit. Since I was the only one who bothered to bring a wireless unit, I got the whole screen to myself! I guess everyone else in the theater was happy to just sit there watch me play. Go figure.
After a bunch of ads, I was able to start a new game. The intro cinematics were pretty spectacular. I don't know what graphics engine they used for this, but everything looked amazing. All the textures had impressive levels of detail, animations were smooth and life-like - they must have gotten actors to do motion capture for a lot of the sequences. My only complaint was with the avatar for Sarge - the character you play for most of the game. I know they made a big deal about how The Rock was doing the voice for this character, and I guess that's why they wanted to make Sarge look like The Rock. They came close, but didn't quite get it right. Something about his face and the shape of his head just didn't look entirely natural. It seemed like a pretty lame place to skimp on the polygon count. Other than this, though, the graphics were awesome. It was like watching a movie!
As good as these cinematics were, however, they went on WAY TOO LONG. Usually, they will let you skip past the cut-scenes by pressing the select button (sometimes the start button), but I must have hit just about every button on my controller about 50 times, and it didn't do a damn thing. You are just forced to sit there and watch the whole thing. That's just lame.
Despite all this, I could have looked past the maddeningly lengthy cut-scenes in Doom if the gameplay had been solid. Unfortunately, the controls were totally unresponsive. I would try to turn left, my character would turn right. I'd attempt to strafe into a doorway, my character would do some crazy backflip through the door. Half the time, it didn't even feel like I was playing - the controls were that bad. I just about threw my controller at the screen, but that thing was expensive, so instead I threw popcorn at the people in front of me (which not only pissed off the people in front of me, but also the person sitting next to me, since it was her popcorn).
Though the controls were awful, I was still able to beat Doom in less than two hours. What can I say - I've got MADD SKILLZ and have been known to PWN even the toughest games. After I beat the game, I figured I could at least get in on some multiplayer action, but I couldn't find any option for online play. Total ripoff.
Ultimately, Doom proves that slick graphics and big-name voice acting are just not enough to make a great game. As such, I can only give it one and a half Joeys.

No firecrackers for Diwali festivities in New Delhi this year
DIWALI – one of the most important religious holidays in the Hindu calendar – will fall on Oct 18 this year, and preparations around the world are well in their way.
In India, millions of Indians typically decorate their homes with tealights, exchange sweets and murukku with neighbors and relatives, and adorn new clothes on the morning of the festival.
However, this year, firecrackers will be banned in the capital of New Delhi during Diwali celebrations. Firecrackers are a common tradition this time of year, but severe pollution that led to the closure of schools last year prompted India's top court to temporarily halt sales of firecrackers.
New Delhi's air quality has already hit "very unhealthy" levels, US embassy data shows. This is often blamed on burning of unwanted vegetation on farms in neighboring states usual at this time of year, worsened by fumes from fireworks.
The ban takes effect immediately and will run until Nov 1, said a panel of Supreme Court judges headed by Justice Arjan Kumar Sikri, adding that its impact on the region's air quality would have to be examined after the festival.
"All temporary licences to sell firecrackers stand cancelled," said Haripriya Padmanabhan, a lawyer representing the group that sought the ban.

"People who had bought [fire] crackers will be able to [play with] them. Hopefully, they won't do that," she told Asian News International, a partner of Reuters Television.
"This is a nice step, let us look at other sources of #airpollution too," global environmental group Greenpeace said on social network Twitter.
But others saw it as an attack on tradition. "We Indians will protest and burn crackers," wrote one Twitter user, Ishkaran Bhandari. "We will uphold our culture, traditions and celebrate Diwali."
Last November, about a million children were forced to stay home from school, thousands of workers reported sick and queues formed outside shops selling face masks as New Delhi struggled with its worst pollution for nearly 20 years.
Vehicle emissions and dust from construction sites were the factors blamed for that spike, besides firecrackers and farm burnings.
India and giant neighbor China together account for more than half of the 4.2 million deaths attributable to air pollution worldwide in 2015, a study by the US-based Health Effects Institute (HEI) showed.

NRITHASANDHYA - Video CD
Nrithasandhya Video CD Malayalam Dance Mohiniyattom dasavatharam performed on stage at Padmabhooshan kalamandalam Ramankutty nair Sathabhisheka Aghosham directed by kalamandalam leelamma .The ever popular Dasavatharm or ten incarantions of Lord Vishnu were presented by the dancers in a simple format with the added grace of the dance form. The unique representation came in later with the depiction of Dasapushpam or the ten flowers which was indeed like a fresh bloom; a rare treat. It was an interesting choreography with the dancers transforming themselves as ten different flowers that are commonly used in Kerala during the Thiruvathira month considered auspiscoius for ladies. The show once again proved that it is difficult to have synchronised movement in mohiniyattam since each dancer has varied degree and inherent style of bending; the charactersitic move of the dance form. The eyes looking for perfection might turn away but the hearts looking for some graceful moments could stay on watching mohiniyattam, the classical dane form of Kerala.

It further suggests that Gurgaon should instead depend on 137 MLD of treated sewage water, which according to CSE, will be more than sufficient to meet the water needs of builders.

I did it! I chopped my hair off! I've always had this thing about going shorter for winter, I personally think that the winter "look" of coats and scarves and layers looks much more chic with a shorter crop.
So as always, I headed off to my A team at Toni & Guy Georges (just off of Collins/Little Collins st, for those of you who live in Melbourne). My lovely Jo (Owner and Art Director) and I decided to change up my whole look - swapping my usual middle part to a side swept and volumised part, chopping to a collarbone length, long layers, but above all still keeping the slightly undone, effortless look that I love. I absolutely adore Jo and have been getting my hair cut by her during my past few visits, she's one of those hairdressers who really takes her time to perfect your hair and makes sure every single mini detail is PERFECT before you leave. She's the only one I trust with my hair now!
In terms of colour, my colourist Jack (the 2014 AHFA Colourist of the Year just casually), decided to keep the darkness in my hair (most of my ombre was chopped off) but still add some really subtle lighter tones at the front (the pieces that frame the face), and also on the underside of my part, to give the look of movement (which is genius!).

Just to share the love, I managed to get a little offer from Jo and the team if you want to head over to T&G Georges for yourself:
TONI&GUY Georges would like to offer followers of The VR Verdict a complimentary Wella Deluxe Treatment valued at $39 when booking in for a cut, wash & blowdry or colour service . Call the salon on 9654 9444 to book your appointment and mention VYDIA to redeem your offer.
Located at 195 Little Collins St, Melbourne - Mezzanine level in the Georges Building
If you're after the same look, I highly recommend doing your research and finding photos of exactly what you're after. I've learnt from the past that it's always best to stick to inspiration photos of those who have similar hair textures to you. Most of the time our fave celebrities/inspirations have had a crazy team styling their hair to perfection (and that type of deal just aint practical for everyday unfortunately!). Here are some of the pics I took in to my appointment (Elin Kling being my main inspo - love her!):

Love to hear your thoughts on the new look and let me know if you'd like to see a post on how my style new chop!

Twist Collective Blog
Throwback Thursday: Mithril
Do you remember what you were doing in the Spring of 2011? I sure don't. My memory is terrible. But some time before that issue of Twist came out, I do remember assisting on the Better Than Basic photoshoot with Kate and Jane. Meet Mithril, today's feature on #throwbackthurday.
I know I've said this before, but there is something deeply magical about holding these prototype garments in your hands. Mithril was one that surprised me. It's a fairly simple sweater, much more plain than the clothes I tend to gravitate towards. But it just felt great to touch. Surely, some of that has to do with the stunning yarn - a blend of silk and baby alpaca - but it was more than that. The simplicity of the gathered stitch pattern, the collar detail on the deep v-neck, and the squishy garter edges made me want to snuggle that sweater and maybe never let go.
This is the sweater you will want to reach for every chilly morning because it's cozy and adorable and you can pull the edges of the cuffs over your cold hands. it's a meditative knit and a totally accomplishable project for a beginning sweater-maker.
Mithril is indeed a blast from the not so distant past. I hope you love her like I do.
Twist Style Fridays: Leitzel
Every Friday we feature one of the garments from the magazine in a post about styling. We suggest different ways to wear the garment in question using mock-ups from Polyvore. We encourage readers to tell us what they think about these outfits via our Facebook page or Twitter, and if folks want to make their own outfits, please tweet them at us with the hashtag #twiststyle. You can find all of the Style Friday posts here.
Enough about me, let's talk about sweaters. 'Tis about the season to start thinking about wearing some! Which means it is prime time to start knitting the ones you want to be wearing in a few months (weeks, years... )! Take a little peek at this stunner.
Let's take a bit of a closer look at that cable panel, shall we? I love the way the panel runs all the way to the hem.
Leitzel is understated from the front, and stunning in the back. I'm imagining wearing mine around an autumn campfire while holding a stick attached to a marshmallow.
Leitzel is equally comfortable though, as a layer over a ballgown, especially if you choose a really fancy button for the dramatic single closure. She can also rock the office, especially over a blouse with a cute print or some kind of neck detail (a bow maybe?).
If any of you want to get me a present, that lipstick purse on the right would be right at home in my hand. But I'll be happier if you make yourself a sweater.
How will you wear Leitzel?
Throwback Thursday: Vionnet
It's Thursday, and you know what that means! Time to take a close look at a pattern from a previous issue of Twist Collective, for our own version of #throwbackthursday.
Vionnet is also an example of how a knitted thing can look a bit unremarkable laid flat, but on a person, it becomes magical. Those diagonal eyelet columns and strong vertical cables just look stunning. It's like the magic of blocking a lace shawl, but on your body.
In case you were wondering, this top also looks awesome with short sleeves, or as a vest. Take a look back at our past issues sometime, you might find a treasure like Vionnet.
Designer Post: Trondheim
Today's post comes to you courtesy of Heather Pfeifer, designer of the stunning Trondheim pullover from our newest issue. This is Heather's first design with Twist, and we are thrilled to have it. Having a diagonal cable across the front of the sweater makes it a teeny bit more complicated if you want to customize the shape or fit of this sweater, but Heather is here to help! Read about her inspiration and her ideas for shaping mods below. Find more of her designs here.
Working with Twist for the first time has been an exciting adventure down a new path in my life. I worked in clothing retail for more years than I care to remember, dressing the bodies of babies, kids, and men but primarily women – from young adults, to pregnant moms-to-be, to seniors. I've seen pretty well every body shape and noticed a few tips along the way.
When I began knitting in 2007 and designing in 2012, I pulled those tips out of the dusty corner and got to work. If I was going to take the time and knit a garment for myself, then it had to be just right. I know exactly what I do and don't like about sweaters. I do like ones that cover my bottom, but I don't like needing to pull them down every time I stand up. I prefer visual lines that make me seem taller. It's all about those proportions. For Trondheim, a vertical cable was the only way to go.
But to fit the triple cable, a perfectly vertical, off-centre panel would have created a wider horizontal view, which was definitely not what I wanted. Asymmetry and diagonal features work both vertically and horizontally, disrupting a continuous view of hip-width and adding interest to distract from a narrower bust width. I don't like sweaters that fall across my widest point, I prefer ones that begin just below or just above that point.
Trondheim uses A-line shaping to move from a wide hip to a narrow bust. A double-curve shaping just wouldn't work with the diagonal cable. It would have resulted in the cable panel moving left or right at unexpected places and pull or pucker.
The sweater is meant to be comfortable and not very clingy, so positive ease is worked into the sizing. It's alright to have more ease at the bust than the hip, so when choosing a size pick one that is an inch or two larger than your hip measurement. If the bust measurement is within 3" of your body bust, the sweater will have the intended fit.
If the measurements seem too great of a difference and you want to modify the shaping, here are my tips.
-the number of rows worked must not change for the hip size you choose. The cable begins at a calculated point so it ends at the left shoulder;
-more side decreases could be added but this affects the shoulder back width, the neck opening and ultimately the number of stitches remaining for the left shoulder; so if you decide to do this, it's best to work to the next bust size then follow those instructions for splitting the sleeves and neck opening.
Two different sleeves also add to the asymmetry of the tunic. The sleeves can easily both be stockinette, particularly if you wish to shorten the underarm length. Whether the cabled sleeve is on the right or left is also a personal preference.
Twist Style Friday: Hemingway
Every Friday we feature one of the garments from the magazine in a post about styling. We suggest different ways to wear the garment in question using mock-ups from Polyvore.

Happy Friday fashion friends!
This week brought the first chilly-ish days of fall to Toronto. I wore a jacket one time. I love jackets. This is my ideal time for patio dinners, park picnics, long walks, bike rides! This season even sometimes makes me feel like jogging (I don't actually jog, I just revel in the knowledge that I could jog). I have also been wearing boots. Boots!! I wore both of those things to a fancy movie premiere at TIFF on Tuesday night. If you get the opportunity to see Charlie Kaufman's new stop-motion animation film- YOU SHOULD.
This is precisely the right time to start knitting a cozy sweater. As the weather gets chillier, you will knit more, and you will be more excited to wear (or gift, I suppose) the finished product. If the sweater you choose is Hemingway, you won't be sorry.
She's a quick knit in squishy worsted yarn. Hemingway has a lovely allover texture, and a fetching little shawl collar too. She is the perfect warm layer to bring on that fall camping trip, or to sit on the porch when it's just a little too cold to be sitting on the porch.
I've been told, on occasion, that my sense of style can lean towards the overly twee. Today my friends, I present you with a collection of outfits I'm calling OVERLY TWEED! Groan at my terrible pun all you like, those patent capped tweed pumps are incredible, and the multidirectional plaid skirt in the middle is cute as heck.
How will you wear Hemingway?

The evidence against the three teenagers in Orange County, Ca., seemed overwhelming, says the Los Angeles Times: a videotape that prosecutors said captured them sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl who was knocked out by drugs and alcohol. Still, jurors were persuaded by an aggressive defense that portrayed the girl as a deceitful would-be porn actress. The hung jury last week in the two-month-long gang-rape trial is the latest to provoke debate over how far attorneys should go to defend clients charged with sexual assaults. Like the approaching Kobe Bryant trial, the gang-rape case put the spotlight on the alleged victim – leaving some to think that she was the one on trial.
Sexual-assault experts say that increasingly harsh sentences for rape encourage defense lawyers to stretch the limits of legal ethics to defend those accused of sex crimes. When the tactics are successful it gives defense attorneys in future cases more license to gratuitously attack accusers. "Once you trample boundaries, it becomes OK for the next guy to trample them too," said Dawn Foor, executive director of the Orange County Sexual Assault Victim Services. Denver defense attorney Jeralyn Merritt said that the public may think defense lawyers are attacking an accuser's character when instead the issue is credibility. In rape cases that hinge on consent, she said witnesses' credibility is crucial.

The Victoria and Albert Museum in London has a new exhibition that speaks, I think, to what we do here at MKTG INC. The V&A invited nineteen architects to submit plans for tiny structures representing the concept of escape, and then they built seven of them. They're nestled among the regular exhibits, and visits can actually enter and explore them.
My favorite is Ark by Rintala Eggertsson Architects, a wooden tower with walls of books that surround a central staircase and little reading nooks–you experience the structure itself in real life, and you can also experience the worlds hidden in the books in your imagination. All of which shows yet again that unique, immersive experiences can be utterly transporting and powerful. Via treehugger

Agriculture & Chemicals in 2018: A Mixed Bag of New Policies
Still in its infancy, 2018 is already gearing up to be an action-packed year for the agri-chem sector, from changing farm policies to the all-encompassing Brexit. To ensure that we have captured these developments and to reflect the evolving nature of FTI Brussels' own agri-chem practice, this year's snapshot will be broader than those of…

Do you have any time frames for updating the desktop apps yet?
I'm mainly thinking the mac one as thats what I use.
The Mac app update is in development right now. Barring any unforseen issues the plan is to have it out by the Summer. The lastest PC update is available here: https://www.olivetree.com/pc/
Shocking decision. Utterly without excuse really with the iOS bridge and other tools readily available to develop universal Windows apps.
I will be taking my custom else where.
This is disappointing news. Yes, the desktop version runs on the Surface Pro, but it's interface is not optimized for working in Tablet mode which is how I prefer to sit and read the Bible on my Surface. I hope desktops UI will be updated to make it easier to use in Tablet mode.
Completely understandable.
And really, no problem since Win 10 and the store doesn't look like it has that much traffic yet (per numbers I've seen.
Another reason I don't care for Microsoft. The android app is great.
Exactly… Microsoft doesn't care about the end users, only their profits are taken into consideration when they charge platforms like this.
What is the reason for this?
Considering Windows 10 is getting on more and more Computers.
Something Microsoft is doing?
As mentioned in the blog, our Windows Desktop App still works on Windows 10. It's our Windows Store App that we are discontinuing.
Understand that – and I use the desktop one.
I just wondered why you are not continuing with the Windows Store App store/tablet version.
Anyway thanks for a Great Program and resources.
I am getting quite a collection/library built up
Android app gave up on me on my phone, just bought win10 tablet to have access to my library and now you are giving up the app? Desktop app keeps crashing. What app should I use next? How can I convert all the books into different softaware, best would be some free one. I am not bying anymore. This is exactly how it not should work.
Have you tried the latest versions of either our Android or PC app? If so and you are still having issues please reach out to our support team at firstname.lastname@example.com and we can trouble shoot for you.
I've had a problem with the app on android (tablet). Reported in Nov 15. No bug resolution yet after 5 months…. Just 'try and see if it works' each time I check… 🙁
? ? ?
Other app developers resolve issues in less than a week … A month max…
Very disappointed. I was really hoping you all would build a universal app so I could have it on phone as well. The desktop app is just not very optimized for touch. is this just a resource issue or is there something missing from the Windows platform?
We certainly understand your disappointment. For us it's a resource issue as we have to focus our development on the most used platforms.
Why don't you convert the Windows desktop app to UWP app for Windows 10 then you get the best of both worlds an app suitable for touch and desktop?
Its unfortunate to hear this. I use the Windows store so every Sunday on my surface 3 in combination with OneNote. Now with the universal apps I could use this on all my PCs and Xbox. It appears short sided. At least you should open source it and let those of us interested contribute.
One of my favorite features in the Store app is the borderless full-screen reading – it'd be great to see that in the desktop version!
I'd still love to try a Linux version.
Even MS is moving to use Linux. when will Olive Tree?
I have almost completely gone Linux. Sure would like to see this material in a Linux version.
Agreed! Hopefully someone will take note of this.
+1 especially when Microsoft is open sourcing some of its dot net and has moved some of it applications to electron apps. There is no excuse. Also people are successfully converting their apps to wine or mono and packaging in a snap package, flatpack or app image. These allow for easy package management which truely cross linux versions.
I just wanted to let you know that I am a bit disappointed to hear this. I have used your apps for many years, starting with my first pda. I currently use an ipad and, of course, your app is wonderful. However, I have a 7″ Windows tablet and the desktop program is not very useful on that because it is not touch friendly. I am considering moving away from my ipad and going with a Surface to replace my laptop and tablet. I know Microsoft is behind in touch centered operation, but I believe that is the way they are moving. Please consider adding touch friendly features to you Windows program.
Add me to the list of disappointed users. As others have said, desktop mode is not optimum when using the Surface Pro in tablet mode. There has been no response to the suggestions to use a universal app so you could do both with the same amount of resources.
I, too, am disappointed. I've been using the app on my Surface Pro and have been very pleased with the ease of use and the vast differences between Olive Tree and another program I had been using. Not all of us are Apple users with iPads, etc. and although my phone is Android based, all my other devices are Windows based. Please reconsider!
Also very disappointed. I use the desktop program on my Surface Pro and desktop computer as well as the app on my Surface and smaller Win 10 tablet. Was really looking forward to the app being adapted for use on my Win 10 phone. Agree with one of the other comments above that it is much easier to read on a tablet than the desktop program.
I understand the resource situation and can appreciate the challenges of developing for multiple platforms.
I think there are two things you can consider doing:
1. Convert one of your well-designed Android or iOS apps to a Windows 10 UWP app, rather than start from scratch (Microsoft has worked to provide the best industry tools to do this as easily as possible).
2. Try to optimize your current Windows PC/desktop app for multiple screen sizes and some level of touch input. (A lot of people read on touch-screen devices).
You really do have the best Bible app out there (that I've used) and your commitment is commendable.
God bless you.
If seems irresponsible to me to create a market for something that ties the end user to you and then back out on them because you can't our won't fix the problems associated with that market. I understand that you need to focus development on the other most-used apps, and this makes me happy because I've complained endlessly to your support team about issues with the Windows desktop and Android versions. It's a huge sign that something is seriously amiss with your development team if all the apps have critical issues that can't be resolved, and that has been my experience up to this point even with the platforms I use. As a loyal customer who has spent over $500 on resources I'm quite concerned but hopeful about this decision. A mixed bag of emotions for sure.
I too will be moving from iPad to surface pro and would like to use all the advantages of a tablet based app for all the resources I purchased. I would ask you to reconsider this move.
I am very disapointed too. You say that you have to focus your development on the most used platform, and I understand it. But I also know that Microsoft has provided all kind of tools to make it easy to port existing code from iOS and Android to its platform, even providing since last week a free environment (Xamarin) to have one codebase for the three platforms. You could benefit from this.
Would you please reconsider your decision, since as many have stated before, the touch version of Bible+ for Windows is handier to use on tablets.
Thanks in advance.
This is sad to hear. I was planning on buying a Surface 3 (which runs on Windows 10) and I was looking forward to using the app on it. Too bad that the desktop program, from what I hear, doesn't perform so well in a tablet environment. I know so many people who use windows phones and tablets. I really wish you will reconsider other alternatives than terminating the whole windows app. Olive tree is really great and I think it should be available for all kinds of people and devices.
Bye the way, there seems to be a lot of people buying windows tablets these days. Microsoft and others have put out some really good windows based all-in-one tablets. The market certainly is growing. Please reconsider.
I know just enough to be dangerous on my iPad, so does this mean that this will not work on my iPad ?? Sorry I am kinda dumb to computers. Can some one explain if my olive tree bible will still work on my iPad?? Please?
Thank you,
Jackie M.
Yes it should still work. This notice is about the Windows users.
I think that's what my iPad uses?
This doesn't affect the iPad and we'll continue to develop and update our iPad app.
275 million Windows 10 users is a lot of people. Would you at least consider making the desktop app more touch friendly? Also, if you've been paying attention to the Microsoft app bridges you could easily use Project Centennial to convert the desktop app into a UWP Windows Store app and would even gain a live tile. Would you at least consider doing that? Please answer.
Yes please reply. It is definitely time to reconsider, and I'm sure that if you approached Microsoft they would have the tools you need or be willing to help you develop the app, one app that would be usable on Win 10 desktops, tablets and phones. I use OliveTree virtually every day, and have 67 items in my library, including various expensive collections, and want to be able to use them on all my devices. I have spent numerous hundreds of dollars, but I'm much less willing to now, because I am not convinced I will have ongoing use of this library into the future.
We'd love to have Microsoft develop our app for us. 🙂
In all seriousness our PC App still runs great on Windows 10 and on Surface Pro. You won't lose access to any of your resources. Thank you for your feedback!
Hi Andrew,
I am not convinced. The PC App runs fine on a desktop (with some bugs) but is not good on a Surface Pro, particularly when you are using it as a tablet. It is just not suited to a touch screen environment. It doesn't run at all on Windows 10 phone. I am now unlikely to buy any more books for my library until it is more suited to my needs, I'm not even reading the "specials" e-mails you send out.
I can't understand why you are putting virtually all your effort into Android and I-pad, I have owned both, which is why I use Windows! It would be difficult to do any "serious" study on either.
Our PC App runs on Windows 10 and Surface Pro. We are looking into Project Centennial and some of the technology that Windows is releasing later this year.
That's good to hear at least. Are you guys looking at more the Project Centennial bridge for the desktop app or the Project Islandwood (Windows Bridge for iOS) bridge to port your iOS app? Obviously the Centennial bridge would be less work since you already have a functioning desktop app but the Islandwood bridge would allow for an app that can run on both desktop, mobile, Xbox, and HoloLens. Either would probably be a good choice. You definitely need some sort of store app though because it improves visibility of your product, which is a good one.
We're actually looking at both. As you know technology changes quickly and so we're trying to invest out development time as wisely as we can.
Your Windows desktop version is buggy and keeps crashing even now.. The iOS and Android versions are great for on the fly reference and reading, but not for making in-depth notes and markups etc during bible-study, which the Windows desktop version is well-suited for.
Windows 10 tablets/convertibles is replacing desktops/notebooks. I don't care much for the Windows app, but please improve the desktop version. Improve it a lot.
Please don't leave us Windows Store users behind, especially now you can simply port your IOS version over with hardly any effort.
By the way Windows 10 is fastest growing OS for PC ever…
Dan, we're definitely looking into the possibility of porting it over in the future. In the meantime our PC App will run on Windows 10.
Great to read that!
I really hope that you decide to port the app, hopefully this year ? Having it across all the Windows devices would be wonderful.
May the Lord assist you, Bible+ is really helpful.
My vote is to make a UWP Universal Windows Platform Program that can run in continuum in Windows 10 Mobile and desktop having then a Windows Phone app as well as a desktop app. Apparently you don't realize how many people who invest in your software use it in Windows? I have never been a fan of the Windows desktop program because of how it works. I am sure you could do better.
I am heavily invested in Windows in all it's forms. And really try not to support platforms that don't support that environment, especially Windows 10's App store. I was considering more purchases from you but that would be from the Windows App store. You've just negated that. This may sound harsh, but I vote with my feet.
On my current device (iPhone) I often use the Olive Tree App. Now I would like to buy a smartphone with Windows 10 Mobile. But I don't want to do that without your app. A Windows Universal App would be great. Please.
Olive Tree, are you there? Are you listening?
I have a Surface Pro 4. (Surface Pro 4, a highly reviewed, nice computer) Yes, you are correct. The desktop version does allow me to access and read my Olive Tree content, but not without flaws. Why am I forced to permanently view the sidebar to the left of the reading pane? If I am able to hide this sidebar, why has it been impossible for me to find where to change this setting?
Why does my reading pane periodically go blank (no words, just background) and then the words reappear but not at my exact reading location? Why?
But even more confusing, why does my Android version on my cheap phone work flawlessly? My Surface Pro 4 with the desktop program glitches, but my el cheapo Android is flawless.
My Surface is nearly the same dimensions as an 8.5×11 sheet of paper. When I read articles or books, such as the Bible, I orient the Surface like you would do with an 8.5×11 sheet of paper, portrait orientation. Olive Tree, if you were to print to 8.5×11 paper, do you do it in landscape or portrait? Doesn't matter to me. You should have the option to do as you wish. Why are you forcing us Surface users to have a poor experience, especially in portrait orientation? Why do Apple and Android users get the goods, and we Windows users get the boot?
Please, please make the Windows version tablet friendly.
Dear Olive Tree,
A wise man listens to advice.
You have had several people in the comments above offer to help you fix this problem because you mentioned lack of resources. Why don't you want their help? Intellectual property concerns? Well, then sign them on as contractors, pro bono of course, have them sign a nondisclosure/noncompete, and accept their help. Why do you refuse?
Please fix the problem.
I wish I had read this before May 2, 2016… I have a Surface Pro 3 and love it, but I gave up on the Olive Tree Windows Store app for a while. I finally decided tonight to see if the latest updates fixed the reasons I stopped using the app, only to find the final version released is now scrubbed so I cannot even try it. My last update was in late 2014, and it doesn't even work right in Windows 10. And I guess if I'm content with what I have, the next time I need to download it I'll be out of luck. Not even leaving up a legacy release is really disappointing, and to say the least is very surprising.
Yes, the desktop version works, but it is awkward in a Bible study trying to navigate a desktop app with a finger. I can do that very quickly with my iPhone, so I guess I might have to stick with that.
Are there any plans to make the Windows desktop app more touch friendly? I actually prefer it being out of the store where I can save the installer, but I need it to behave well without a mouse or keyboard. The current desktop app will not even pop up the Windows on-screen keyboard when I tap on the "Enter verse or topic" box. This really is a mouse/keyboard desktop app, even if it technically opens on my Surface. I also found the performance to be poor with Strongs lookups and even had one crash already.
Complaints aside, I really do like your reading experience. I hope the Windows platform will get some more attention soon. The iOS app is and always has been great.
These people and their so-called 'team' are simply irresponsible. As ealier mentioned by someone here, to create a market for something that ties the end user to you and then back out on them because you can't or won't fix the problems associated with that market is the height of irresponsibility.
And the shame of it all is that they won't even listen to whatever suggestions and ideas that concerned users are voicing out!
It's my fault. I'm one of the many who caused a Windows Phone sales slump by falling for the false hype about other phones. After spending a year trying the other phones, I'm back on Windows Phone whole-heartedly! I'm productive again. My info is on Live Tiles… No swiping and endless tapping to see basic info. The Windows Phone notification system actually recognizes Bluetooth. Many times I don't even have to dig my phone out of my pocket to find out what is going on. It tells me privately in my ear. And today I discovered that this Olivetree platform that I've invested in isn't available on the windows store any longer. Well, sorry Olivetree. I'm sticking with the Windows Phone. It just goes to show, choices matter.

Long Time Gone (The Cimarron Legacy Book #2)
2, The Cimarron Legacy
Mary Connealy
This book can be downloaded and read in iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
Connealy Combines Western Action and Charming Historical Romance
The Boden clan thought their problems had ended with the death of a dangerous enemy, but have they truly uncovered the real plot to take their New Mexico ranch? Rancher Justin Boden is now in charge. He is normally an unshakable and rugged man, but with his brother, Cole, shot and in mortal danger, even a tough man faces doubts. And it doesn't help that Angie DuPree, the assistant to the doctor trying to save Cole, is as distracting a woman as Justin ever laid eyes on.
With her and the doc's timely skills, Cole looks to be on the mend, and Justin and the rest of the Bodens can turn their attention back to the dangers facing them. It's clear now that everything that's occurred is part of a much bigger plot that could date back to a decades-old secret. Can they uncover all the pieces before danger closes in on them, or is the threat to the ranch even bigger than any of the Bodens could imagine?

Terrible picture, but we never take pictures when we're together so here we go:
And... my sister got to come over for her Fall break last month. That meant she babysat while we got a date (Hallelujah!) Being able to be together and talk about life and watch her go through her college years is a privilege. We won't always live this close, and it's pretty funny that five hours away is "close".

This morning I ran four miles, part of my training for a June half-marathon. It was very cold and very windy, typical March weather for my town.
Anyway, I pushed the "start" button on my trusty Runkeeper app and discovered it could not find the GPS satellite. This is not uncommon; my car's GPS often shows me driving through my neighbor's bedroom and across the pond near our house. Usually if I wait a minute or two I'm OK and my app is happy.
For those of you who don't use a running app, I recommend Runkeeper. It does a fantastic job keeping time and distance, except for the mean lady who keeps whispering in my ear telling me how slow I'm running.
This morning, though, I fell in love with that lady. Here's why.
The wind was howling and I was standing there frozen, so instead of waiting to find the GPS, I hit "Continue" on the app and the 15 second countdown began. Runkeeper has a warning that things may not be all that accurate if it can't find the GPS satellite at the start, but no matter. It was death by exposure or death by exertion. I chose exertion and off I went.
Two minutes into my run, about the time I'm usually gasping for air, that mean lady whispered in my ear, "Time, two minutes. Distance, point five-five miles."
What's that you said, mean lady? I was what? Running a four minute mile?! I looked at the mailboxes; yes, they were whizzing by. The telephone poles became a blur. Like Secretariat, I had become a great machine. And, I was falling in love.
Two minutes later, the new lady in my life whispered again in my ear: "Time, four minutes. Distance, one point one miles."
Imagine. Suddenly, miraculously, I was ROGER BANNISTER. It only took me 40 years of jogging, but I had broken the four minute mile. What was next? Jim Ryun? Sebastian Coe? The 2016 Olympics?
Needless to say, after such a remarkable performance I had to slow just a bit in my next three miles to something like 8:45 per mile. No matter.
My half-marathon schedule says tomorrow I'm supposed to run six miles. I'm undecided. Should I run or should I simply retire from running?
Usually technology is against me. Today, though, the earth wobbled. Rivers changed course. Republicans and Democrats joined hands and sang "We Are The World." Technology was with me.
I may go back to struggling to attain 8:00 miles. I may once again despise the Runkeeper lady. The earth may resume its steady spin.
But make no mistake: Today, I was Roger Bannister.

CHARLESTON, S.C. – The most poignant moment of Isiah Thomas' first practice as Knicks coach yesterday occurred in the final 20 minutes of the two-hour session, during "suicides." In the drill, if a player misses a free throw, the group sprints the length of the court and back. Unfortunately for Eddy Curry, freethrow shooting is not Jared Jeffries' speciality.
With Jeffries missing three straight, the Knicks were on the move at the College of Charleston.
And Curry, alone in the rear, looked ready to collapse, gasping for oxygen.
Instead of reaming Curry out, Thomas asked Curry if he'd like to sit out. Curry said he would continue. It was a test and both Curry and Thomas passed.
Thomas did not humiliate Curry in front of the media like former coach Larry Brown might have, and Curry fought through the exhaustion.
"I'm trying to teach these guys about becoming one, thinking as one, acting as one," Thomas said.
"Not only did that tell me a lot about (Curry) when he stayed out on the floor, but his teammates encouraged him to keep going. It's good to see a group coming together and bonding because we've got a long way to go before we're solidified." Thomas had Curry's back afterward, claiming he's pleased with Curry's conditioning and the sight of the 6-11 center's panting looked worse than it was.
"Anytime you have a big guy running with the guards, he's going to look a little slower," Thomas said of Curry, whom he plans on playing more than 25 minutes a night. "I was being a little unfair to him in asking him to keep up with the [Nate] Robinsons and [Jamal] Crawfords, and at the same time I was challenging him. Even though he didn't keep up with small guys, if there were bigger guys out there, he would've looked much better." Said Curry, who's still in better shape than he was last October, "I'm part of this team and you finish it. I wasn't sitting down." It was a pivotal moment in this new era of positive reinforcement; an edict from ownership this season that the head coach refrain from demeaning the players publicly. James Dolan believes that fractured last season's 23-59 group.
"I've always tried to handle criticism in a private and personal manner," Thomas said.
Stephon Marbury praised the practice as efficient. "It was straight to the point," Marbury said. "The thing I like most about the practice is that we've got a time slot to get what we need to get done and that's it. It forces you to be consistent. If you do something for three minutes and it carries over for 10 minutes, you're taking away from practice." Brown's modus operandi is doing a drill until done right, leading to endless practices. Marbury couldn't help hide his joy.
"It's more free flowing, and free going," he said. "Everyone has a totally different approach.
Now we have a coach who's played the point guard position and has an understanding of the game and an approach that he wants you to express yourself on the basketball court the way you play. I allowed myself [last year] to look like a person who never played basketball at this level before." * One of Marbury's former favorite coaches, Bobby Cremins, is the new College of Charleston coach and was in the bleachers yesterday watching his former Georgia Tech pupil. "What is the knock? That he's selfish?" Cremins said. "Well, he made us better.
When he started out at Georgia Tech, we struggled. He had made some mistakes. Then he really changed." Marbury left after leading the Yellow Jackets to the Sweet 16 but remembers meeting daily with Cremins to talk about everything – a relationship similar to what he has with Thomas.
. . . Jerome James never recovered from his training-camp hamstring injury last season and yesterday went down again with a partial tear of his plantar fascia.
He will miss at least a few days if not more than a week.

10 Extremely Cool Looking Memorial Cup RingsMay 14, 2012
10 Extremely Cool Looking Memorial Cup Rings
This is the time of the year all hockey fans dream about.
Not only is the battle for the Stanley Cup in full swing, but this week the puck drops on the 94th edition of the Memorial Cup.
For the uninitiated, the Memorial Cup is the crowning jewel in junior hockey supremacy.
Along with having their names engraved on the trophy, players from the cup-winning team will get to wear a championship ring symbolizing their victory.
Over the years, the "bling" factor of championship rings has certainly increased. However, no matter how much gold or how many diamonds the ring holds, you cannot put a dollar value on the chance to put one of these career-defining pieces of jewelry on your ring finger.
Here is a look at 10 very cool Memorial Cup rings.
Niagara Falls Flyers: 1965
1965 Memorial Cup Champions
The Niagara Falls Flyers defeated the Edmonton Oil Kings four games to one.
Hall of Fame goalie Bernie Parent led the Flyers to the victory. Who knew Parent's Stanley Cup ring would again be with a team called the Flyers.
Kootenay Ice: 2002
2002 Memorial Cup Champions
The Kootenay Ice defeated the Victoriaville Tigres in the championship game.
Guelph Biltmore Mad Hatters: 1952
1952 Memorial Cup Champions
The Guelph Biltmore Mad Hatters defeated the Regina Pats in four straight games.
If you are wondering about the team's unique nickname, Guelph's sponsor at the time was the Biltmore Hat Company.
Spokane Chiefs: 2008
2008 Memorial Cup Champions
The Spokane Chiefs defeated the Kitchener Rangers in the championship game.
The only other American-based team to win the Memorial Cup was the Portland Winter Hawks. The Hawks took home the hardware in 1983 and 1998.
Flin Flon Bombers: 1957
1957 Memorial Cup Champions
The Flin Flon Bombers defeated the Ottawa Junior Canadians four games to three.
Are you wondering, "Where the heck is Flin Flon?" Flin Flon is small town in Northern Manitoba and is the birthplace of NHL great Bobby Clarke.
Saint John Sea Dogs: 2011
2011 Memorial Cup Champions
The Saint John Sea Dogs defeated the Mississauga St. Michael's Majors in the championship game.
Montreal Junior Canadiens: 1969
1969 Memorial Cup Champions

St. Catharines Teepees: 1960
1960 Memorial Cup Champions

Edmonton Oil Kings: 1963
1963 Memorial Cup Champions
The Edmonton Oil Kings defeated the Niagara Falls Flyers four games to two.
Regina Pats: 1974
1974 Memorial Cup Champions
