It's been a while since we heard anything about the Dell Latitude XT2, the follow-up to the original 12.1″ Dell Latitude XT. We heard about it in March of last year and at the time, it was rumored that Dell would be rolling the XT2 out sometime between last November and the first quarter of 2009. Judging by the specifications leaked, the rumors from last March were pretty close (of course, this isn't a radical update from the XT so it's not surprising).
The original multi-touch Dell Latitude XT convertible – it converts between a Tablet PC and a laptop/notebook form factor, became available close to this time last year. It surprised people when Dell's plans for a sequel leaked out not too long after the original XT became available.
It's based on an Intel Core 2 Duo Ultra Low Voltage (ULV) CPU (no specific CPU mentioned), and takes up to 5GB of RAM. No storage specs are listed, but chances are Solid State Drive (SSD) options will be available. Being that the Latitude line is geared towards professional/business users, there are mobile broadband and GPS options utilizing a half-mini-card (or the ExpressCard/34 slot). One major difference, a change from ATI Radeon graphics to Mobile Intel GMA X4500. The resolution of the display remained the same – 1280×800.
The initial release date at the bottom of the web page is listed as today, January 23, 2009 (this is for the documentation/page itself, not for the XT2's release date).
Among the new features, one of the USB connectors has "PowerShare" – it can charge USB devices while computer is off or on (charge your iPod or cell phone while the computer is turned off). One of the USB connectors can also be used as an eSATA port.
For battery options, you get a choice of 4-cell, 6-cell, or a "slice battery" (that attaches to the bottom).
As far as size, it looks like it's thinner and lighter than the original XT.

Patriarchal Blessings: What about children in the same families from different tribes?
Nephi tells us that "as many of the Gentiles as will repent are the covenant people of the Lord."(2 Nephi 30:2) Therefore it makes no difference if the blessings of the house of Israel come by lineage or by adoption.

In one of the most personal appeals in Galatians thus far, Paul continues to parse the theological issue in the churches of Galatia, who are turning to another gospel that insists on circumcision rather than Christ alone. But now, rather than speaking directly to the errors of what they're believing, Paul exposes the error in who they're believing. When Paul previously labored among these churches in person (cf. Acts 13-14), they received him even as he proclaimed the message of salvation while suffering as an Apostle (Gal. 4:13). Paul was willing and ready to invest in these churches despite his debilitating condition, whatever that may have been, and these churches were at one time willing to suffer themselves for the gospel too (Gal. 4:14-15). But in the wake of Paul's departure the churches in Galatia have begun to embrace a group of 'leaders' who weren't magnifying Christ at all nor were they invested in these churches for their flourishing in Christ (Gal. 4:17). Paul's appeal, then, exposes the serious problems of listening to and investing in these new leaders who have infiltrated the church.
We learn from this passage that Spiritual leadership is a gift from God that must pivot around the gospel and must be rooted in the gospel. A leader's life and ministry must be rooted in the gospel, and those who are called to follow spiritual leaders must also follow gospel-rooted leaders. God forms disciples who exalt Christ by giving His church leaders who magnify Christ. This text offers us a portrait of discipleship by exploring the relationship between Paul and the churches of Galatia. We learn from this text that discipleship must be invested. Paul was invested in these churches, even when he suffered, and the churches were at one time invested in Paul's gospel leadership because of the message he brought. They were even willing and ready to suffer for it themselves! Discipleship is also attentive to the truth (Gal. 4:16). The word of God is the well-spring of discipleship, and Jesus Christ is the focus of all our discipleship. And discipleship also endures in the life-long process of formation through the power of the Spirit (Gal. 4:19). In this passage, which reveals Paul's pastoral concern for these churches, we see a picture of how discipleship should function and flourish in Jesus' church.

While many issues will influence your decision on Election Day (20th September 2014), we believe the entrenchment of racial bias, privilege and corruption in our government and legal system will be the most damaging to New Zealand and our way of life in the long term.
Never in the world's history has legal racial separatism & preference led to anything other than exploitation, resentment & violence.
So how can our politicians be so stupid as to continue pushing us down this path? Short-term power? Salaries? Status? Ego? Fawning over the rich & powerful? Future money-making opportunities?
They cannot understand history or common human psychology. Perhaps they simply don't give a damn about what our children will suffer. Public service? Yeah right.
Your Party Vote is Crucial.
Party votes determine the percentage of parliamentary seats any party can claim. So choose the candidate who works best for your electorate, but please consider carefully your choice of Party Vote.
To guide you, we have prepared a summary of where the parties stand. It's objective, as 1Law4All's Board comes from all political persuasions!
LEGALISED RACISM (i.e. APARTHEID)
on Racial Matters
What They Actually Do/Did Our Voting
National While in opposition, National spoke out for one standard of citizenship for all New Zealanders ("One law for all") & on removing the Maori-only parliamentary seats. BUT since being in government, they have promoted separatism and privilege based on racial ancestry for the benefit of the tribal elite. In 2008, Key unnecessarily invited the Maori Party into coalition & radically extended legal racial separatism and privilege in NZ – more than any other government e.g. support for the UN's Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples which promotes separatism; transfer of NZ's coastline (foreshore & seabed) from public to iwi control; Maori Statutory Board's extensive & undemocratic control of "Super Auckland"; significant transfers of government assets to iwi on spurious grounds; co-governance of public resources, etc. NO
Labour All people should have equal access to all social, economic, cultural, political and legal spheres, regardless of wealth or social position….. BUT they have promoted separatism and privilege based on selective racial ancestry….. although under Helen Clark, Labour resisted the extremes demanded by radical Maori. But who knows what Cunliffe is willing to do? NO
Greens Numerous race-based policies; no mention of equality. They promote extensive separatism and privilege based on selective racial ancestry. NO
Maori It's all in the name! They have radically promoted separatism and privilege based on selective racial ancestry for the benefit of the tribal elite; want to take democratic power from the people by entrenching racial privilege in a new Constitution; have achieved extensive "settlements", "co-governance" and control for the benefit of iwi corporate elite and are extending the ways & means by which other New Zealanders will be forced to keep paying out forever. NO
NZ First Policy-making to be based on need, not race, creed or colour; the future of the Maori seats is a decision for the people. Winston has always promoted equality when in opposition – he tends to say what we want to hear; BUT when in power, he has taken the baubles and delivered nothing (other than the "gold card").Note: In 2006, ex-NZF MP Doug Woolerton did introduce a Private Members Bill seeking to abolish the Waitangi Tribunal. It failed to get sufficient support from other parties to pass. A prospect if in a Coalition. But would he ever make racial equality a bottom line before giving support? On past performance, this is unlikely.
ACT Equality before the law; remove all race-based appointments & ensure that the Waitangi Tribunal process ends. BUT has supported the National Coalition's radically racist agenda. Also delivered the Super Auckland Council structure, which has resulted in unelected & unaccountable iwi elite control at Councillor level & throughout the bureaucracy (i.e. the imposition of unlimited/undefined iwi processes and taxes on private property owners in the Unitary Plan; co-governance of the Hauraki Gulf). NO
United Says very little. Has gone along with whatever is necessary to keep the coalition perks in place. NO
Conservative Wants the one electoral roll; an end to Treaty claims; removal of differential treatment based on race; a repeal of the foreshore and seabed legislation; the closing down of the Constitutional Review. Actions speak louder than words. They were the only political party (other than 1Law4All) to make a submission against the blatant racial bias of Auckland Council's Unitary Plan.
Otherwise yet to be proven. Maybe, but the proof will be in the performance.
Internet Mana Extensive race-based policies include 100% of New Zealanders speaking Te Reo Māori by 2040; a new way in which political and legal power is structured in Aotearoa; "meaningful constitutional transformation", etc. The Mana leader, Hone Harawira, is openly racist.
The Internet arm has demonstrated no principles other than self-interest. NO
What About 1Law4All?
Our registration as a political party has been delayed further by a Maori Party objection to the 1Law4All logo. It's hard to fathom what grounds they might have, other than it represents a party calling for legal equality – something that is an anathema to the racist Maori Party.
But nevertheless, 1Law4All has had great difficulty in gathering resources – both financial and in terms of personnel. Too few people understand the threat as we do, or perhaps they see advantages in the wealth and power that comes with the tribal elite. Either way, they do not want to rock the boat.
So we are left with insufficient resources to credibly contest this year's election. However, we are committed to the cause and will keep up our resistance – with your help.
URGENTLY WANTED – appropriately able people for volunteer operational roles:
• Secretary (or Treasurer)
• Database Manager
• Marketing/Communications Manager
• Media Spokesperson
Participate in a campaign for change!
True democracy & racial equality is worth fighting for.

I'm Gaga over this Lady's moxie
by MoxieTalk with Kirt Jacobs | Oct 24, 2018 | Blog | 0 comments
If you are still thinking of Lady Gaga as the singer-slash-performance artist who turned up at the VMA awards wearing a dress fashioned entirely out of meat – actual raw meat – then allow me to bring you up to speed.
The head-turning artist who ignited the pop scene more than a decade ago with electronica infused hits like "Born This Way" and "Poker Face" has continued to surprise and delight. After several records and tours showcasing her signature sound and style, she made a radical pivot in 2014 and collaborated with legendary crooner Tony Bennett on an album of romantic American standards.
Now Lady Gaga is starring opposite Bradley Cooper in a reboot of the classic movie A Star Is Born and she's winning much respect for her performance.
I'm not ashamed to say that I'm pretty gaga over this lady's moxie. Here's why:
It takes moxie to deftly reinvent yourself every few years.
Conventional wisdom would say that to remain successful as an entertainer, you've got to top yourself year after year. Lady Gaga has certainly topped herself over the years, but not like you'd expect. Instead of diving into a bigger, splashier and more boundary-pushing, she turned in a direction no one expected by recording an album with an octogenarian.
In her own way, it might have been the biggest boundary she ever pushed, and just might have helped set her up to reach even greater heights as an artist.
After years of producers auto-tuning her voice into a nearly robotic but danceable oblivion, singing jazz was "liberating" Gaga told reporters.
"(J)azz is rebellious. And I'm a rebel at heart. So in that way it's also me rebelling against my own pop music – that's really exciting for me. But I think the thing that has been the most powerful has been, there's a part of me that has been quiet for a long time that is now being reawakened, after years of producers and record label people telling me to make my voice sound more radio-friendly," she said in an interview.
Lady Gaga rediscovered her talent and passion for music. The move reintroduced her to the world, this time with far less of the artistic artifice. Gone were the dramatic wigs and costumes. In their place stood a confident vocalist delivering lyrics with subtlety, nuance and just enough raw power around the edges to keep things interesting.
If you could "reset" your public persona, what would you choose to do? How would you change?
It takes moxie to revisit early dreams.
Did you know Lady Gaga studied method acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute for ten years? That's no casual pursuit. The Institute has produced scores of notable alumni, including A-Listers like Scarlett Johanssen and Angelina Jolie.
Lady Gaga long harbored a dream to act, and there are few things that will open doors for auditions quite like being a multi-platinum recording artist. She landed the part of Elizabeth in American Horror Story: Hotel, and earned a Golden Globe Award for her performance.
Now she's lighting up the silver screen in A Star Is Born, and awards buzz is already building.
What if she'd just stayed in her lane and enjoyed her success as a musician? It certainly would have been lucrative and less risky, but Lady Gaga has the moxie to take a risk and fulfill her dreams.
What dream have you deferred? Is now the time to pursue it?
It takes moxie to give 100 percent when you don't feel 100 percent.
Throughout her ascent, Lady Gaga has battled fibromyalgia, a common yet mysterious illness characterized by joint pain and fatigue. The illness often goes hand in hand with mood disorders like anxiety and depression, which Lady Gaga has also admitted to struggling with.
Anyone who has struggle with a chronic illness feels like a total champion just for making it out of bed some mornings. For Lady Gaga to have achieved all she has while battling those conditions is remarkable.
If I get a chance to interview Lady Gaga, what should I ask?

Bolts' WR Travis Benjamin: 'It feels good to be healthy again'
Published August 3, 2017 | By Booga Peters
When wide receiver Travis Benjamin was acquired during the 2016 free-agency period, Chargers fans everywhere were immediately excited.
Formerly with the Cleveland Browns, Benjamin displayed scorching speed and an ability to take the top off of opposing defenses, despite having a plethora of quarterbacks slinging him the rock.
His addition to the Chargers' receiving corps was a coup, as the team already featured No. 1 wideout Keenan Allen, veteran Stevie Johnson, an up-and-comer in Tyrell Williams, a serviceable option in Dontrelle Inman and tight ends Antonio Gates and Hunter Henry. The team also had Danny Woodhead coming out of the backfield, along with Melvin Gordon, as well. (Woodhead has since moved on to the Baltimore Ravens while Johnson remains unsigned)
It goes without saying, the team made sure that the weapons surrounding veteran signal-caller Philip Rivers were plentiful, but then, well, you know what happened: the injury bug decided that it would make the Bolts' last season in San Diego much like the last several, injury-riddled.
Allen went down in the first game of the regular season after making Marcus Peters look like a 38-year-old Booga Peters (I can't cover the bread with jelly, much less an NFL receiver the caliber of No. 13). This put more pressure on the rest of the pass-catchers, including Benjamin.
The Chargers and general manager Tom Telesco were aggressive in securing the addition of the former Miami Hurricane during the 2016 offseason, signing him to a lucrative four-year, $24 million contract, with a $5 million signing bonus while $13 million was received in guaranteed money.
Well, 47 receptions with 677 receiving yards and four touchdowns later, and, why not, some injury issues, the speedy receiver finished the 2016 campaign with underwhelming numbers.
I have no doubt that Benjamin would agree with me on that.
Moving on to this offseason and preparations for 2017.
With the team's 2017 first-round selection (former Clemson WR Mike WIlliams) possibly being placed on reserve-injured for the season, and the uncertainty of whether or not KA13 can stay healthy for an entire season, the Chargers' offense needs Benjamin to be in tip-top shape.
According to his words on the team's official website, he's feeling good, and ready to get out there and display his full playmaking ability.
"It feels good to be myself," Benjamin told Chargers.com. "This whole offseason I was being myself in the weight room. Being myself while rehabbing. Now I'm being myself on the field. I wanted to come back stronger and showcase my talent. Just make sure I'm the best I can be during training camp."
If Benjamin is in fact healthy and himself, as he mentions above, he adds a dynamic element that the Bolts haven't had for quite some time.
Do not forget, Benjamin tied for the league-lead in plays over 40 yards… with Tyrell Williams.
He is an electric runner with the ball in his hands, able to outrun most players in the NFL, and his route-running is criminally underrated.
Stat Prediction for Travis Benjamin in 2017:
64 receptions for 981 yards and six touchdowns
Should Benjamin live up to the contract he signed and the expectations of the organization and fans, we could all be witness to some of the most explosive, game-changing plays of the 2017 season.
Needless to say, there are quite a few folks who are hoping for just that; while others, not so much.

Inman expected to miss six weeks
Published May 20, 2017 | By Greg Williams
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Dontrelle Inman recently had surgery to repair a core muscle. According to multiple reports including ESPN's Adam Schefter, Inman is expected to miss six weeks while he recovers and rehabs. Based on that timeline, he will miss OTA's and mini camps but would be back in time for full squad training camp in July.
The ex-CFL star had a breakout season in San Diego last season, his second year on the team. Inman started all 16 games and compiled 58 receptions for 810 yards and four touchdowns. A month ago, he signed a one-year, $2.7 million restricted free agent tender. Next offseason Inman will be an unrestricted free agent.
The wide receivers room is the most crowded as it has been in an extremely long time. With first-round draft pick Mike Williams in the fold and Travis Benjamin and Keenan Allen returning from injury among others, it is important Inman gets as much field time as possible. His team security and financial security depend on it.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
Bolt Up!!

Mike Mayock of NFL Network reacts to Chargers' selection of Mike Williams
Published April 28, 2017 | By Booga Peters

As you all know by now, the Los Angeles Chargers used their first-round pick on Clemson wide receiver Mike Williams.
Reactions from both the media and fans have been all over the board.
When it comes to NFL news, I prefer to stick to the network that specializes in covering America's favorite sport: NFL Network.
Other than Steve Mariucci, Mike Mayock is my favorite cat on NFL Network, with Daniel Jeremiah and Adam Rank fitting in there somewhere, too.
Mayock dropped an article on NFL.com, highlighting his thoughts on each draft choice in the first round, including his take on the newest wide receiver to don lightning bolts.
7. Mike Williams, WR, Los Angeles Chargers
Analysis: "Mike Williams is all about separating with length, power and catch radius. He's a dominating, physical presence. He's a back-shoulder guy. You'll love him in the red zone."
Though his time as an NFL player may be forgotten by most, Mayock knows his shit. He is NOT some Mel-Kiper-Todd-McShay toolbox, looking to make a living off of having very little knowledge of the NFL game. (Don't @ me)
Initially — yeah, it just happened and I am already adjusting — I was infuriated by the selection, adding a wideout with the squad's first choice was a bit puzzling.
But, in reality, what do I know?
The Chargers currently have these wideouts on their roster: Keenan Allen, Tyrell Williams, Travis Benjamin, Dontrelle Inman, MIKE WILLIAMS, Da'Ron Brown, Isaiah Burse, Geremy Davis, Javontee Herndon and Jamaal Jones.

Boltblitz Staff Predictions: Chargers versus Buccaneers
Published December 3, 2016 | By Zak Darman
The staff here at boltblitz give their predictions and takes on what they think will happen Sunday versus the Buccaneers
Zak Darman: Coming off a big road win in Houston, Philip Rivers and the Chargers go home to take on the Buccaneers in what many think will be a close game. I happen to agree with them. Most are picking the Bucs, I don't agree with them there. I think the Chargers control the clock fairly easily and force a few turnovers on Winston, who is known to give up the ball at times. Chargers 24 Bucs 20
Charles LaFurno: Defense does a great job shutting Mike Evans down and the Chargers cool off a dangerously hot Bucs team to seal their sixth win and get back to .500 with four games left to play. Philip goes over 300 yard mark with four touchdowns. Bosa and Ingram combined for 3 sacks and the defense snags two picks from Famous Jameis. Chargers 34 Bucs 20
Michael Brazeel: Mike Evans against Casey Hayward is going to be the matchup of the day. Evans gets the better of CH going for 100 yards and a touchdown. The Bucs will be in position to tie the game late in the 4th, but the rookie kicker will miss. Giving the Bolts a win and getting them back to .500. 27-24 bolts
Brian Scott: The young and up-and-coming Bucs suffer a hangover after defeating the Seahawks. Bucs give up sacks and with the improved pass rush, the Bolts get in the backfield often. Rivers has a 300 yard game and Gordon gets 80 with two touchdowns. Chargers win 36-17
Laura Leech: Back at home and trying to get to .500 for the third time this season, the Chargers finally do it. It comes down to the wire but they are victorious in this must-win game. 31-28 bolts
Corey Decker: Both teams going into this game with something to prove. The veteran presence and the record of Philip Rivers in December are the two reasons chargers walk away victorious. 24-21 Chargers by 3.
Brian Krich: I like the Chargers here. I believe Bucs will struggle to protect Winston and won't be able to effectively sustain run game. Mike Evans will get his, but it won't be enough. Chargers balanced offense carries the day. I say 27-17 Bolts.
Chris Hoke: Chargers have a very sleepy first half falling behind 14-0 giving up a TD to Mike Evans and another on a Rushing TD. Melvin Gordon carries the team in the Second half scoring a TD and racking up 200 scrimmage yards. Rivers finds Hunter Henry late to tie the game up 14-14 the Chargers get the ball back with one minute left and drive into Lambo range he makes the game winner. 17-14 bolts
Cheryl White: Bucs fly West hoping for another "W" but Chargers defense plays hard & Bosa disrupts Winston often. Rivers is epic again this week with 300 yards & TDs to Gates, Williams & Inman while Gordon runs for 85 yards & a scores twice. Chargers win 35-17
Mike Pisciotta: Lambo misses two FGs, but hits in the closing seconds for the win. Rivers throws 2 INTs, but balances those with 2 TD passes and Gordon runs for another. Rivers and Gates connect early and often with the old man collecting 125 receiving yards. Bolts over the Bucs 27-24
Will McCafferty: I think the Chargers get out to a first quarter lead, let the Bucs back in the game in the second quarter and then open up a can of ass-whoopin' in the second half. Chargers win going away, 34-17.
Dave Peters: Gates gets one step closer to Tony Gonzalez and the TE-TD record. Rivers throws for three scores as the Chargers dominate until late in the game. Joey Bosa logs a 2.5-sack day. Denzel Perryman recovers a fumble forced by Corey Liuget. Pagano goes ultra conservative in his play calling, as always, surrendering a couple scores late. Chargers 27 Bucs 26

Bolts poised for "goodbyes" to fan favorites, former high draft picks and impact players
Published December 2, 2016 | By Will McCafferty
The best piece of advice I can give a sports fan is this: cheer for the name on the front of the jersey, not the name on the back.
No matter how wonderful a player is on or off the field, someday either the team or the player will make the difficult decision to go a different direction. The team remains, but the players go through the never ending revolving doors known as free agency and retirement. Remember the aforementioned advise when you look at the following list of fan favorites and impact players who are on the last year of their contracts with the Chargers. Here is the list of the players who may leave at seasons end. The departure of some will leave a hole in the team. The departure of others will leave a hole in fans hearts. So as I crank up The Clash in the background, let's take a look at who should stay and who should go, as well as what they are making for the 2016 season.
Melvin Ingram (OLB) $7.751 million: Staying: Although Ingram has had to deal with injuries and has under achieved in a statistical way, the future of Ingram seems bright. The addition of Joey Bosa has made this pair of pass-rushers quite a handful for offensive lines. The sack totals are not as impressive as their AFC West rivals, but the fact that the Chargers lead the league in interceptions is a sure sign that these guys are putting pressure on quarterbacks and forcing errant throws. For a defensive front seven to be effective in today's NFL, there must be two dominant pass rushers and a strong Nose Tackle. Ingram, Bosa and Mebane fit the bill for now. Ingram will be pursued by other teams, but expect the Chargers to overpay a little to keep their former first round draft pick around for the next three to four years.
Danny Woodhead (RB) $5.5 million: Going: I want to be clear about something here. Danny Woodhead is a wonderful player who can be a spark-plug for an offense, and a true leader. But along with his greatness is a serious problem. Since joining the Chargers, Woodhead has only played in 37 of the 64 games he was eligible to participate in. He has had two full seasons and two cut seriously short by injury, including the 2016 campaign. Not only does Woodhead have a hard time staying healthy, he is 31 years old. Not many running backs maintain their effectiveness for long after age 30. I'm sorry to say, the Chargers will move on from Woodhead. He will either sign somewhere as a free agent for the 2017 season, or hang up the cleats. Of course, there is the possibility that the Chargers would try to sign him at a discounted price on the chance that he will stay healthy. Unfortunately, he will most likely find a better offer somewhere else.
Mantai Te'o (MLB) $5.172 million: Going: Te'o is another player who has been plagued by injuries during his time in San Diego. By seasons end, he will have played in just 38 of a possible 64 games, over his four season tenure with the Bolts. He has been improving every year, and the improvement of the defensive line has helped him scrape down the line and get to ball carriers. But, it hasn't helped his foot-speed, or ability to cover backs in the flat. Look for opposing quarterbacks to pick on Te'o on third and long. The fact is, Te'o will go down in Chargers history as a borderline bust. Nice enough guy, just not a great football player.
Jahleel Addae (SS) $2.553 million: Going: Chargers fans seem to have a great deal of respect and admiration for SS Jahleel Addae. Why? Because he is a hitter! Fans love players who come in and lay some hat on opposing teams. Addae certainly does just that. He has been a Charger for four years and has quite the reputation for having no fear. The problem is that all those hits have really taken a toll on Addae's body. In fact, he has had several injuries, including concussions. Having only played 43 of his possible 54 games so far as a Charger, there must be concern that he will spend more and more time on the injured list. He is fairly inexpensive, but you do not want to pay anyone to ride out injuries. I believe that if Addae fails to get through the remaining five games of the 2016 schedule without incident, the Chargers will have no choice but to let him go.
Branden Oliver (RB) $1.53 million: Staying: Normally I would have said that a player who really hasn't done very much, and has missed an entire season to injury, would not be returning. In Oliver's case, I think the Chargers may take one more chance. He is the epitome of a fan favorite. Bolt fans just love watching Oliver run/return the ball and bang into those large defenders. Yes, Oliver plays larger than his 5'8″, 208 lb frame. He is such a fan favorite, some fans wanted Melvin Gordon either cut, or dropped to second string, so that Oliver could get his chance. The fact of the matter is that despite a few impressive games, Oliver does not have the stats to explain the love he receives. That being said, the Bolts may just bring him back because he will be cheap and the fans love him.
Korey Toomer (OLB) $600,000: Staying: It could be a little premature to add Toomer to this list, but he has been an impact player since joining the team in week four. With his playing time increasing, Toomer has racked up 33 tackles in the last three weeks! He is an aggressive player who likes to hit. The Seahawks and the Raiders are going to regret letting this guy go. Look for Toomer to get another two the three years added to his already very affordable contract.
Dontrelle Inman (WR) $600,000: Staying: Without a whole lot of playing time, Inman has managed to have some big games. He is a sure-handed receiver that was plucked from the Canadian Football League to fill in for injured receivers. Although much of the success of the young Chargers receivers can be credited to Philip Rivers, there is no denying that Inman has the ability to get open and catch the ball. He just may be part of a talented youth movement at wide receiver in San Diego.
There are many more players to make decisions on at the end of this season. Very few are notable. None are tremendous impact players or former high draft picks. Even though these names seem less important, some of them will return because they are affordable and they add much needed depth. The following is a list of players who will most likely be brought back to fill various roles: Mike Windt (LS), Tenny Palepoi (NT), Sean McGrath (TE), Damion Square (NT), and Isaiah Burse (WR/KR), Kenny Wiggens (G).
Finally, the list of potential free agents who are either doomed to be shown the door, or will fight hard and get back on the team: Sean Lissemore (NT), Tourek Williams (OLB), Trevor Williams (CB), Asante Cleveland (TE), Adrian Phillips (FS), Kellen Clemens (QB), Javontee Herndon (WR), Codero Law (OLB), Jeff Cumberland (TE), Dexter McCluster (RB/KR), Ronnie Hillman (RB), Jeremy Butler (WR), Geremy Davis (WR), Tyreek Burwell (T), Chris Landrum (OLB). Some of these guys have a real shot at making the team next year, they just will not be high priorities for Chargers GM Tom Telesco.
So, what do you think? Which of these guys will be sporting lightning bolts next season? Leave your comments below.

BoltBlitz Staff Predictions: Chargers versus Titans
Published November 6, 2016 | By Zak Darman
The staff here at Boltblitz.com gives their takes on what they think will happen today versus the Titans.
Zak Darman: The Titans record is better than their talent says. What that means is they aren't a team that should be 4-3. They have Murray on offense, and that's really it. Delanie Walker didn't practice Friday so it's safe to assume he won't play this week. They have been the team who has given up the most 20+ yard plays this season, and I think one of Travis Benjamin or Tyrell Williams will go for 100+ yards. Chargers 31, Titans 10
Charles LaFurno: Late Mariota drive with a TD pass to Murray seals it as the Bolts lose in powder blues and we all officially hop on the tank wagon. Titans 24, Chargers 20
Michael Brazeel: This is a game Chargers have to win at home. Rivers has big day against this secondary, and defense gives Mariota fits. Bolts win 34-21
Martin JC Jr: I see Rivers having a bounce back game against a sketchy secondary. He gets 3 touchdowns. Gordon will get to the endzone because Whiz will realize that Gordon can score the rock in the redzone. Chargers win 31-10
Travis Blake: The Chargers' defense is going to be really sore on Monday, that is, if they can slow the Titans running attack. The Titans bring in one of the scariest ground games in the league. Scary because DeMarco Murray and Derick Henry are beasts, and the Chargers starting middle linebackers will consist of a backup and an outside linebacker moved inside. This is a recipe for disaster, in my opinion. We're really going to see what the Bolts defensive line is made of in this game. If they can curb the Titans running game, the Chargers will have to worry about Mariota who can hurt them with his arm or legs. On offense the Bolts will sputter with no Henry, and both primary receivers banged up. I'd love to see someone else start at right tackle, not sure what's going on with Joe Barksdale but his play is hurting this team. Chargers lose another close one, 28 – 19.
Brian Scott: With Hunter out the Rivers-Gates combo notch 2 more on their belts. Gordon runs ragged and get his most all-purpose yards of his career. Bosa continues his dominance as he spends all day in Marcus's kitchen. Titans maintain their run game through most of game but abandons it in the 4th Quarter as Chargers have a big lead…only to dwindle and give fans another heart attack. Chargers win 36-26
Chris Hoke: Let's see I had us losing in close one last week which Rivers did throw a pick 6 so your boy was right! No Perryman and Brown. Our run defense is screwed just in Preseason the Titans ran us over. Murray being hurt will limit his carries but he still gets 90 yards and a TD while Henry does the heavy lifting going over 100 yards himself. Mariota throws 2 TD's and 1 pick. On offense we don't know whether to run or pass so we just settle for 4 Lambo field goals. Rivers throws a TD late to Gordon it's not enough as the bolts lose another close one and hope fully the McNorv shit finally ends! 21-20 Titans
Cheryl White: Whiz says that two yard line series has kept him awake. I think this is a game where Gordon is continually given the ball. Gates will be in for a good day as well while Williams & Benjamin play as well as expected with knee injuries. Barksdale plays smart this week (no Miller/Ware/Wolfe to face). Defense does ok with the plug-in players, Bosa & Ingram get to Mariota. TD's by Gordon (2), Gates (1) & Inman (1) with a couple of FGs by Lambo give Bolts a close win. 34-27 bolts
Mike Pisciotta: Individual accomplishments by Philip Rivers, Melvin Gordon, Hunter Henry, Dontrelle Inman, Joey Bosa, Jatavis Brown and Brandon Flowers will be erased by last-minute Tennessee heroics. McCoy, Pagano and Whisenhunt will again out coach themselves to deliver a heartbreaking loss in the closing minutes yet again. I don't trust the coaching staff. I lost faith in Whisenhunt after Sunday's embarrassing series of plays from the Denver two yard line. Mike McCoy gets in the way again this week, failing to manage the clock. Titans 27-24
Will McCafferty: I am quite worried about how far down the depth chart the Chargers have to go to fill spots like linebacker and receiver. On the bright side, I think the Bolts can do a decent job of stopping the run and that is the Titan's strength. I'm not impressed with the Titans overall, but I think it will be a game. Chargers 31, Titans 27
Dave Peters: Whiz gets the better of LeBeau in this one, controlling both the tempo and the clock. Due to injuries adding up on defense, Rivers and the offense must score early and often. Gordon scores and notches another 100-yard game on the ground. Inman steps up with six catches and a TD. Ingram and Bosa each add sacks to their season totals. Bolts win, barely 29-27

BoltBlitz Staff Predictions: Chargers at Falcons
Published October 23, 2016 | By Zak Darman
The staff at BoltBlitz.com gives their takes and predictions to Sunday's upcoming match-up versus the Falcons.
Zak Darman: This should be a high-scoring game. Both teams have good offenses. The Chargers have a better defense but they don't really have anyone who can stop Julio Jones. Benjamin isn't a lock to play, and without him their receivers are Tyrell Williams, Dontrelle Inman, and Griff Whalen (yes, I had to go to the team's depth chart to even put him down). Hunter Henry gets another touchdown and Rivers goes for 300+ yards but comes up just short. Although teams lose about 70% of the time the week after playing the Seahawks…. Falcons 35-31.
Chris LaFurno: Late Julio game-winning touchdown and Chargers offense can't answer back as Atlanta wins a nail biter. Falcons 37 Chargers 34.
Michael Brazeel: Rivers will have to go length of field in :40 with no timeouts, as usual, and come up short. Falcons 35-31.
Corey Decker: The Falcons are coming in with a chip on their shoulder so expect them to come out firing. Falcons 34-28.
Travis Blake: I've been feeling all week that the Bolts will start slow and sluggish in this one. That's probably coming from the fact it's a mini-bye week for the team, and a later than usual start for an east coast game (game time is 1:05 PM PST). The question is can they overcome a slow start and finish out a game strong, instead of leaving us all with that familiar feeling of they screwed something up, or almost did? I believe this defense will continue to build off its improvement in the Bronco game and stop the run. The Bolts will get the running game going and pull off several long drives that quiet the crowd. Bolts win their first road game of the year. Chargers 31-24.
Laura Leech: High scoring game with two explosive offenses. Chargers defense is not facing a sub-par OL like they did against Denver. That extra rest from a Thursday game should help a little, but flying to the East Coast is never easy for any team. It will come down to which defense can cause the most turnovers. Unfortunately, though, Falcons get this one. 38-34 Falcons.
Brian Scott: The defense for the Bolts is playing at a high level and with confidence. Ryan gets sacked multiple times. Air show begins and ends with Rivers throwing his 4th touchdown pass. Gordon scores and gets 80 yards. Chargers finally win back to back games since 2014. 41-31 Bolts.
Chris Hoke: The Falcons start the game driving down the field on their first possession and scoring on a TD to Julio Jones. The bolts respond with a long drive in which we are forced to settle for a Lambo field goal. This is repeated till the second half in Which its 14-6. Chargers come out in the second half and MG breaks away for a huge TD run. It's wire to wire from this point where the bolts go for it on 4th down. MG gets stuffed and the rest is history. The Falcons hang on 35-29.
Cheryl White: Been thinking all week that this is going to be a tough one, too. Aforementioned trip to East Coast and later start time may be detrimental. I would point out that this team did go to Baltimore and was the first west coast team to win there, although that was 2014. Downside, no Slayer/Woodhead/Verrett this time. We do have Gordon who is running better plus Henry; and lets not forget Bosa. If he can't get to Ryan maybe he pressures him enough that someone else can. Hayward and Phillips in the secondary though versus those WRs are challenging. Atlanta's OL is tough and their HC knows a thing or 2 about defense. There better be a damn good game plan in place. Don't for the love of God go prevent defense or stop running Gordon. Have some guts and get after it because Atlanta WILL capitalize if you allow them to. 38-35 Bolts.
Mike Pisciotta: Chargers will again open an early lead and go conservative. McCoy, Whiz and Pagano love to sit on leads, and they will piss away another one. 37-31 Atlanta in overtime.
Will McCafferty: Honestly, I'm far from confident this week. I felt better about he Denver game. This reminds me of the New Orleans game with a higher power offense. It should be a shootout as both teams can move the ball. Hopefully, the Chargers can get the ball in the end zone and not settle for field goals. Atlanta should be able to score as well. Chargers 38 Falcons 34
Dave Peters: The Chargers actually play a game well from start to finish in this one. This is one of those games where no one, for the most part, expects them to win. The Chargers' offense outpaces Atlanta, as Hunter Henry scores for the fourth consecutive game and Philip Rivers throws for over 300 yards and three scores. Bosa gets his third and fourth sacks, respectively, while Denzel Perryman recovers a fumble and takes it to the house. Bolts 41 Falcons 27.

Chargers lose 35-34: Fire Mike McCoy now!
Published October 4, 2016 | By Chris Hoke
The shootout in Mission Valley became just another 4th quarter collapse under Mike McCoy, who has seen his team fail to close out three games in the second half in the four opportunities of 2016.
The Chargers would fall to the Saints by a score of 35-34 in a contest that they most certainly should have won.
Sunday was no different, as the Bolts carried a 13-point lead into the 4th with 6:50 to go. The Chargers would then proceed to fumble on two consecutive drives; the first by Melvin Gordon and the second by Travis Benjamin.
The real story here is coaching, which if you're a diehard Bolts fan like I have been, you've watched this team your whole life.
Since the miracle season in 2013 which honestly Norv Turner himself could've done that, this team has fallen off the rails. McCoy is 13-20 in that span, losing too many games by one score or less than one fan can remember.
If last year didn't set a precedent, the start to this season should. Simply put, McCoy is not getting it done at the head coaching position. It's time to make a change before this season gets too far out of reach for these Bolts to even catch a wildcard birth.
Duds of the game:
Melvin Gordon – Yes, he had two touchdowns for fantasy owners. Hooray…. For Bolts fans, this was his worst game of the season. He was never able to get going running the ball. Though the Saints were selling out to stop the run, it is fair to say that good running backs still find a way. His biggest miscue, fumbling the ball with just under seven minutes to go in the game, is something that is just unforgivable. Just hold on to it and live to fight another down for God's sake!
Travis Benjamin – A miserable day as a receiver: four receptions for 48 yards. His biggest blunder coming a drive right after the Melvin Gordon Fumble, as he caught the ball and carelessly fumbled it, allowing the Saints to get the ball for a go-ahead TD.
Mike "Choke" McCoy – This may seem redundant, but I will do it anyway. What halftime adjustments did you give this team? What was the message given to this team going into the 4th? Whatever it was, it didn't work.
Mike this loss and the other two fall right at your feet. For two weeks in a row your team had a lead and two weeks in a row they have found new ways to lose it. Here's hoping the Spanos family wakes up and gives you the ax you deserve, ensuring that I don't have to put you as dud for the rest of the season.
Dishonorable mentions: injuries at linebacker continuing to mount, DJ Fluker and Spencer Pulley
Studs of the game:
Hunter Henry – After a costly fumble last week as the Bolts were attempting a comeback, Henry had another solid week, gaining 61 yards on four receptions, including his first touchdown as a pro.
Dontrelle Inman – After lackluster games to begin the 2016 season, Inman had the game of his life, totaling 120 yards and a TD on seven receptions. You knew going into this game that the Saints would have hard time with all of the Chargers' offensive weapons. Have a day, though, Inman.
Craig Mager – Was it just one interception? Yes. It should've been a key one if not for the offensive fumbles. Mager did his job, showing up and making a play for this team when it mattered most.
Honorable mentions: Philip Rivers, Jason Verrett(way to come back, kid) and Tyrell Williams
The 2016 season has not gone as hoped in the eyes of Chargers fans all over the world. Despite a heightened amount of excitement surrounding a strong free-agency period and draft, the team has struggled to close out games, losing three games in which they should have most definitely won; the Bolts should be 4-0, to be honest, and I think you all know that.
With that in mind, do you think the Chargers can rebound from their 1-3 record and put themselves into a position to compete for a playoff spot?
Let me know by leaving your thoughts in the comments section below.

WR Dontrelle Inman sets career-highs in loss versus Saints
Published October 3, 2016 | By Booga Peters
After losing wide receiver Keenan Allen in Week 1 and running back Danny Woodhead in Week 2 for the season, questions arose as to who would step up and make plays in the absence of two marquee players in the San Diego Chargers' offense.
Well, as it would turn out, the team would be missing tight end Antonio Gates for Week 3 and Week 4, too.
In a game that was sure to be a shootout, the Chargers invited the Saints to Qualcomm Stadium for a Sunday afternoon tilt in America's finest city.
Similar to my first article this morning on Matt Slauson, I have been trying to find bright spots in what was another excruciating loss for the Bolts.
Here is where we talk about wide receiver Dontrelle Inman and his performance on Sunday.
The former CFL wideout had himself a game on Sunday, setting career-highs in receptions (seven), receiving yards (120) and tied his career-high for receiving touchdowns (one) in a game.
The highlight of Inman's day came on a 57-yard catch-and-run score where he made a defender miss and galloped into the endzone for a touchdown.
To @mrinman15.
FIFTY SEVEN yards.@Chargers Touchdown! #Chargers#NOvsSDhttps://t.co/LjXjtDlxo0
— NFL (@NFL) October 2, 2016
Though Inman's career-day would come in a losing effort, his performance in Week 4 will hopefully fuel the inexperienced wideout moving forward, allowing him to solidify his rapport with quarterback Philip Rivers.
Since joining the Chargers in 2014, the 27-year-old Canadian product has totaled 59 receptions for 809 yards and four touchdowns.
The team will head to Oakland in Week 5 for their second divisional contest of the 2016 season. After going 0-6 in the AFC West in 2015, the Bolts look to grab their first divisional win since 2014.

Fantasy questions? Chargers do not have the answers this week
Published September 17, 2016 | By Will McCafferty
Right now across the country, there are scores and scores of people working hard at setting their fantasy football lineup. These people are watching highlights, calculating and comparing statistics, reading injury reports and new reports and comparing their bench players to their starters. Many of these people have Chargers on their roster. You may not be impressed by the lengths that some will go to field the best team possible each week, and that's okay. Impressed or not, I believe that deciding whether or not to start a Charger became extremely difficult thanks to last week's schizophrenic season opener against the Chiefs.
For the average fantasy player it is not that difficult to make decisions on who should play and who should sit on your bench. Big named players generally start no matter how much they stunk the week before. Guys who had breakout games will normally start to see if one can catch lightning in a bottle. Players who are going up against a team that struggles against a certain position will also get a chance. The problem is that when considering what Chargers to start, one must look at last Sunday's game as the proverbial tale of two halves.
You see, if the first half of the game, the Chargers looked like world beaters. They ran the ball with authority. They passed the ball down the field with relative ease. They scored at a pace that should have landed them in the 40's by the final gun. Even the defense stepped up and was shutting down the Chiefs offense. Everything was great in Charger Country! You could not go wrong picking most players to start for your fantasy team. Heck, owners who had the courage to start Melvin Gordon were thinking they were going to be fantasy legends! Then it happened. Star wide receiver Keenan Allen blew out his knee and the Chargers lost their will to live.
Yes, it was shortly after the devastating injury to Allen that his team stopped being productive. Honestly, the second half was the polar opposite of the first. In fact, the loss to Allen seemed to affect everyone, including the coaching staff! It was like a completely different team. Players who dominated in the first half, laid down in the second half, or were effectively benched (see Melvin Gordon). Coaches who were aggressive in the first half were passive in the second. It was as if it were Week 5 of the preseason and the starters only played half of the game. The strange thing was that the replacements were wearing the same numbers as the starters! So how is one supposed to know who to start for their fantasy team? Let's take a look at some key players and see how last week's games will impact your decision.
Philip Rivers (QB): I would think that Rivers gets a pass (no pun intended). He put up very good numbers in the first half, with a touchdown and approximately 150 yards in the air. Two things about Rivers' game that are somewhat disconcerting to fantasy owners are that two of the Chargers touchdowns were on the ground and that the offense completely shut down in the second half. The rushing touchdowns are a concern to fantasy owners because they showed that this perceived commitment to the run, that came to the team with the signing of offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt, seems to be reality. That means fewer touchdowns for Rivers. He also lost his second favorite target when Allen went down, so the run should have been used even more. The Bolts did try to throw the ball in the second half, but you could see that Rivers had lost his poise and had "happy feet" in the pocket. His accuracy was off as well as he missed a couple of key passes that would have moved the chains, and even more importantly, ran the clock. Now, fantasy owners have to wonder which Rivers they will get? The Rivers who throws the ball all over the field, or the Rivers who hands it off inside the 10-yard line? If you have a stud QB on the bench, you may want to start him until the Chargers figure out how they want to use their best asset.
Melvin Gordon (RB): I was one of the risky fantasy owners who chose to believe that Flash Gordon was back! In the first half, he knocked out around 50 yards and had two touchdowns! The Chargers built a nice lead and it was obvious that Gordon would pound the rock all day and rack up the yards and fantasy points. Then halftime came and apparently the adjustment that the Chargers brain-trust came up with was to sit Gordon on the bench, put Rivers in the shotgun and hand it off to Woodhead. I could not believe what I was seeing, despite having been a long-time Chargers fan. So what are we going to get from Gordon going forward? Will coach McCoy trust him for all four quarters? Hard to start a guy who may vanish at any time.
Danny Woodhead (RB): Always a solid player who can get you rushing yards as well as receiving yards. He is supposed to be the third-down back, but seemed to be the number one guy in the second half. You may want to give him a start, but beware that McCoy and Whisenhunt may learn from the past and actually use Gordon more this week. Tough call.
Antonio Gates (TE): Not a real exciting game for San Diego's future Hall of Famer. Only targeted four times and he came down with three receptions for 20 yards. Basically a possession receiver who normally gets a shot in the endzone. No touchdowns last week. Maybe they are setting up the Jaguars for a big day for Gates.
Hunter Henry (TE): This kid has great hands and runs well. He appears to be the heir apparent to his mentor, Antonio Gates. In Week 1, he was only targeted two times and had one reception for 20 yards. Hopefully, he will become a larger part of the offense going forward. But again, there is no certainty for when he will break out.
Tyrell Williams (WR): Here is an interesting situation. With Allen out, Williams could become a larger part of the Chargers' offensive plans. He was targeted five time but only had two receptions. Although his receptions per target numbers are down, he did gain 71 yards! Yes, both of his receptions were big plays that ate up large chunks of the field. The Chargers desperately need a big play option down the field. Will Williams fill the role?
Dontrelle Inman (WR): Another wide receiver who has had some big catches in his young career. He seems to be an obvious pick to become a replacement for Allen. That being said, he only had one catch on three targets for a grand total of six yards. Hardly encouraging. You could take a shot and pick this kid up, but I would sit him on your bench until he proves he can put up some points.
Defense/Special Teams (DEF/ST): Again, if the defense that came out in the first half shows up for four quarters, they will be worth a fantasy start. They held their opponent to three points and completely shut down the run. They even managed to get to the quarterback. Then came the second half where they allowed Alex Smith, a noted game manager, to throw for a total of 330 yards and gave up a respectable 83 on the ground. Running backs catching passes out of the backfield was the Achilles Heal for the Chargers all day. They simply could not stop the backs from getting key first downs through the air. As for special teams, they weren't that special. The return game was non-existent. Place kicker Josh Lambo had a respectable game, but did miss one huge field goal that could be considered the difference in the game. I'll cut him some slack though since that field goal was 54 yards. He had the distance, he just left it out to the right. It happens from that distance all the time. But what all this shows is that even the Def/ST can't be trusted to perform for an entire game.
To be completely honest, and take away all fan loyalty away, there are no Chargers who should be a lock to start for your fantasy football team this week. Philip Rivers is probably your best bet as he routinely scores in the high teens to low twenties. Then again, the Jaguars defense only gave up 199 yards passing to Aaron Rodgers last week. Anything is possible, but unless the Chargers coaching staff decides to stay aggressive for all four quarters, fantasy dream games could turn into fantasy nightmares.
Good luck with your matchups this week. I hope you have a deep bench and didn't rely on our Bolts to make the difference for you this week!
Please leave your comments below. I will answer all questions and reply to all comments.
Go Bolts!!!

Q: Can't store JS values across Ribbon ExecuteFunction Commands for Office add-ins I am connecting a Javascript function to an Excel Ribbon Icon through the Manifest and Functionfile.
This is my FunctionFile:
(function () {
    Office.initialize = function (reason) {
       //If you need to initialize something you can do so here.
    };

})();

var i = 42;

//Notice function needs to be in global namespace
function undo() {
    console.log(i);
    i++;
}

Now, when I click the Ribbon Icon, it prints put 42 to the Javascript Console. However, when I try to run it another time, nothing happens. Is that a bug?

A: Excel creates a new web process every time a command is clicked. As a result, i will be initialized at 42 with every click. And the console will continue to log 42 every time.
The reason that you're seeing nothing on subsequent clicks is probably that you've set your debugger to watch a particular process. If you change console.log(i); to something like Office.context.document.setSelectedDataAsync(i);, you can quickly see this result without a debugger.
In order to achieve the persistent variables that you want, you should store them in the document using the Settings object like this:
(function () {
    Office.initialize = function (reason) {
        var i = 42;
        if(Office.context.document.settings.get("storedI"){
            i = Office.context.document.settings.get("storedI");
        }
        else{
            Office.context.document.settings.set("storedI", i);
            Office.context.document.settings.saveAsync(function (asyncResult) {});
        }
    };
})();

function undo() {
    console.log(i);
    i++;
    Office.context.document.settings.set("storedI", i);
    Office.context.document.settings.saveAsync(function (asyncResult) {});
}

George Seferis
George (or Georgios) Seferis was born Georgios Seferiades in Urla, near Smyrna (now Izmir, Turkey) in 1900. His father was a lawyer and later a university professor, as well as being a translator and poet. He also favorured the use of demotic Greek (the Greek used in the spoken language) over katharevousa, the formal and official version of Greek. After secondary education, Seferis went to France, where he studied law at the Sorbonne. While he was in France, the Turks invaded Smyrna and Seferis' family, like many other Greeks, had to flee.
On return from Paris, he joined the Greek foreign ministry and had a long career as a diplomat, ending up as Greek Ambassador in London. During all of this time, Seferis was writing poetry, often influenced by Homer and by his own exile and wanderings. It is as a poet that he will be remembered and for which he won the Nobel Prize in 1963. However, he also worked on five novel projects, though only completed one. He died in 1971.

I have one activity which has one spinner and the code below works fine to me.
public void addWeather(String a) {
    weather3 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner5);
    String[] arr = new String[]{"Sunny","Cloudy","Rainy","Thunderstorm"};
    List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
    String weather = a;
    list.add(weather);
    for(String s:arr){
        if(!list.contains(s)){
            list.add(s);
        }
    }
    ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(UpdatePage.this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item, list);
    adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
    weather3.setAdapter(adapter);
}

A: Since the exception seems to happen outside of your code (but is somewhat related to your code), you may want to put breakpoints at the start of each of your methods and see where your app crashes exactly to help shed light on the issue. Alternatively, put log prints at the start and end of each of your methods to see which method starts and fails to end and help to detect where the problem is.
My guess is you're passing null as an argument to one of your addProject() methods which causes the list to contain a null object, and then when the adapter attempts to call the toString() method on that null object, you get the error. This object could be passed implicitly as well, for example, as a variable that you forgot to initialize. What you can do is check if the argument is null and only if it isn't, add it to the list, or exit the method on its start if the argument is null or implement whatever logic you want.

Horned Toad. Or relative. Seems sort of orangey for a horned toad.
Definitely a lizard. Spiny lizard? I don't know. It's on the tip of my tongue and I can't quite remember it.
Spiny devil? No … I think it's thorny devil.
Looks like a lizard mated with a rose bush. When does it bloom?
That's a Pumpkin-Spiked Latte Lizard. My favorite flavor. Well, in lattes. Not sure I have a favorite flavor in lizards, but this one is cute enough to consider.
The thorny dragon or thorny devil (Moloch horridus) is an Australian lizard, also known as the mountain devil, the thorny lizard, or the moloch. This is the sole species of genus Moloch. The thorny devil grows up to 20 cm (8.0 in) in length, and it can live for up to 20 years. Most of these lizards are coloured in camouflaging shades of desert browns and tans. These colours change from pale colours during warm weather and to darker colours during cold weather. These animals are covered entirely with conical spines that are mostly uncalcified.
The thorny dragon also features a spiny "false head" on the back of its neck, and the lizard presents this to potential predators by dipping its real head. The "false head" is made of soft tissue.


NEW DELHI: Honda Cars India Ltd (HCIL) today announced that it will voluntarily replace Takata passenger front airbag inflators of 190,578 vehicles of previous generation of Accord, CR-V, Civic, City and Jazz as part of Honda's precautionary global recall campaign concerning Takata front airbag inflators.
This is the second biggest recall for Honda cars India. The biggest recall from Honda happened in September 2015 when it recalled close to 2.73 lakh unit of CR-V, Civic, City and Jazz for the same airbag issue.
The replacement will be carried out free of cost at HCIL dealerships across India in a phased manner. While the campaign for CR-V and Civic will begin immediately, the replacement of inflators for other affected models would begin from September 2016, and the company will communicate with customers directly.
The customers can check whether their carsare covered under this campaign by submitting their 17 character alpha-numeric Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the special microsite which has been created on the company's website.
With this recall, Honda Cars' recall has touched 646,670 units. In India, the voluntary code of recall was adopted in 2012 and since, nearly 2 million passenger vehicles have been recalled in India.
The airbag defect has forced almost all automakers to recall their cars globally. In India, other companies which have recalled vehicles for airbag include Nissan, Toyota and Renault.

The surprise US victory over Team Canada in the mens' ice hockey game brought back many memories of the 1980 "Miracle on Ice" at the Lake Placid games. It also happened to be the 30th anniversary of that game. As a hockey fan and devout goalie (yes, I let people shoot pucks at my head) I was ecstatic at the victory.
What I was not so happy about was the apparent failure of three Olympia electric ice machines last Monday. Touted as a green solution to ice resurfacing, one machine after another broke, prompting officials to bring in the good, old fashioned, American-made, and fossil-fuel powered Zamboni ice resurfacers.
As a hockey player, I know that there is only one Zamboni, and in over a decade of playing (and sometimes sleeping) in hockey rinks all over the Northeast, I never saw one break down. Zamboni is a brand that has become synonymous with ice resurfacers (like Xerox is to copy machines, or Kleenex is to tissues). But they don't yet make an electric version of their legendary machine.
Prior to this, Olympic officials said that the green ice machines had run for a year and a half without a glitch. Bad timing to be sure, but hopefully it will ensure the next time around, they get it right. We need an electric Zamboni!

Johns Hopkins' Restricts Use of Power Morcellators
BALTIMORE — In light of the recent FDA black box label and increased awareness on the dangers of using power morcellators, world-renowned hospital Johns Hopkins has issued new protocols governing the use of morcellation in its facilities.
Johns Hopkins Hospital will no longer use power morcellators to remove uterine fibroids or conduct laparoscopic hysterectomies in women over 50. The hospital announced the new rules at a December American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL) conference. Morcellators will also not be used in women who have other factors increasing their risk for cancer, such as tamoxifen use, pelvic radiation, hereditary cancer syndromes, and BRCA mutations.
This decision came days before the FDA announced the high risk of spreading cancer when using the device and warning against the use of laparoscopic power morcellators in the majority of women undergoing myomectomy or hysterectomy for treatment of fibroids. One in 350 women undergoing such a procedure were found to have an unsuspected or previously undetected type of uterine cancer.
Reason for Johns Hopkins' Decision
Johns Hopkins conducted its own review of morcellation over a nine-year period. Hopkins reviewed 424 cases from 2005 to 2014. Two women were identified to have uterine sarcoma after undergoing a uterine morcellation procedure. The first woman was 55 years old and her preoperative biopsy and CT scans were negative for cancerous cells. She had a morcellation procedure and was later found to have invasive cervical adenocarcinoma. The second case involved a 56-year-old woman who had uterine fibroids removed via morcellation. Afterwards she was found to have uterine sarcoma. Both patients had to undergo chemotherapy to remove the cancers.
Countless reports have come out documenting the dangers of using morcellators to remove uterine fibroids (harmless fibrous tissue in the uterus) or conduct procedures such as hysterectomies or myomectomies in women. The device shreds the tissue or fibroid so that it may be drawn out through a small incision. However, dangerously aggressive forms of sarcoma tend to be hidden within the fibroids or are difficult to differentiate from the fibroids. Metastatic Leiomyosarcoma is an example of the type of dangerous sarcomas found hidden in the uterus. It is an unpredictable form of uterine cancer that often remains dormant for many years and occurs primarily in women between 40 to 60 years old. The morcellator's shredding allows the cancerous cells to migrate to other parts of the body, resulting in the cancer aggressively spreading and even killing women.
Because the FDA has not yet banned the device, it is important that major players in the health care industry, such as Johns Hopkins, take the necessary steps to limit the use of such a dangerous medical device.
If you or a loved one has received fibroid-related treatment, myomectomy, or a hysterectomy from a medical provider that has not banned the use of power morcellators, there is a chance you are in danger of more serious health complications or the risk of cancer being spread.

I think beauty is the splendor of truth, so if the people I portray think they're beautiful, they're beautiful. I don't make them that way.
Writing, of course, is writing, acting comes from the theater, and cinematography comes from photography. Editing is unique to film. You can see something from different points of view almost simultaneously, and it creates a new experience.
Back of every creation, supporting it like an arch, is faith. Enthusiasm is nothing: it comes and goes. But if one believes, then miracles occur.
