1. Engine is better than the rest.
2. Fast gameplay which results in shorter games
3. Free to play
4. You don't have to buy the game nor the heroes
5. Supports Mac/Linux
6. Better graphics (spell animations, hero models). No cartoony stuff.
7. More heroes
8. Requires more skill (denies, skill combos)
9. Comebacks are completely feasibly while in Dota2/LoL they hardly ever happen.

The job of a DNS server is to translate domain names (like google.com) into IP addresses (like 209.85.135.103) and it does this for every new new site that you visit in the browser. Therefore, no matter how fast your Internet connection speed is, a site won’t load unless the DNS server has performed the lookup successfully.
When it comes to choosing a DNS server, you’ve several choices. There are public DNS services like OpenDNS and Google DNS or you could use the DNS Server of your ISP itself. To find your current DNS server, type ‘ipconfig /all’ at the command prompt and look for the “DNS Server” entry under Ethernet adapter.
The speed at which a DNS server can resolve domain names into IP addresses depends on its geographic location among other factors. Therefore, for example, OpenDNS could be the fastest performing DNS server for a user in location A but Google DNS could be a better choice for another user in location B. This also explains why your ISP’s DNS Server may perform faster in some cases.
f you would like to know which is the fastest DNS Server for your computer, there’s a free utility called namebench that can help. namebench runs on Mac OS X, Windows, and UNIX, and is available with a graphical user interface as well as a command-line interface.
Most DNS services offer resolvers at two IP address – for instance, Google DNS is available at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 – and they are used in the same order in which they are listed in your network settings.
You should therefore look at the performance of individual DNS servers and set the “Preferred DNS Server” as the one that has the lowest score. In fact, you may also mix servers – like you can use Google Public DNS as the Preferred DNS server and OpenDNS as your Alternate DNS server.

Nexus 7 2012 Guide (Wi-Fi) for ADB, Unlocking, Rooting, and Flashing Android 6.0 Marshmallow
By Zack - July 26, 2012
ADB GUIDE ON OVERCLOCK HERE :) It's PRETTIER.
Disclaimer: I take no responsibility as to what happens to your device! I recommend learning this way in case anything happens down the road. Root Tool Kits are sometimes buggy and it's better when YOU, the USER, know what is actually going on. :)
Note: You must have debugging enabled on your Nexus 7. Go into developer options and enable it! Your computer SHOULD install the drivers for you. If not after installing ADB install them through the sdk manager.

Note: You must have debugging enabled on your Nexus 7. Go into developer options and enable it! Your computer SHOULD install the drivers for you. If not after installing ADB install them through the sdk manager.
- ADB (Download here: Windows Installer)
- Once downloaded, click install and pick the destination folder below.
- Open up Android SDK Manager and install the packages for SDK Platform-tools
- Right click on my computer, click properties, click advanced system settings, and then Environment Variables.
- Double click on "Path" under variable name and paste this at the end of the variable value. ;c:\Android\tools;c:\Android\platform-tools
- Open the command prompt and navigate to C:\Android\Platform-tools (This is where fastboot.exe lies usually)
- Note: If your device has a question mark in device manager and the driver isn't installing right, make sure Google USB Driver is checked in the SDK manager as shown below and install those. If that doesn't work try these drivers.
- Download the latest ROM
- Download the latest gapps
- Download boot.img and flash it (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
- Download SuperUser and place it on the sdcard / storage. (We'll flash it later)
- Put these on your sdcard on your tablet
- Reboot into recovery. Wipe, cache, dalvik, data, system
- Flash in this order: ROM,Gapps, (adb reboot bootloader)
- fastboot flash boot boot.img
- fastboot reboot-recovery
- Flash SuperUser
The flashing process should look like this. It's pretty basic and I find it easiest to type the command and then drag the file in rather than typing the whole file location.
1 2 | fastboot flash boot boot.img fastboot flash system system.img |
- OEM Unlock ( WARNING: This will wipe your device. Backup your data! )
- Boot device into bootloader. (Power off device. Hold Volume Up/Down/Power keys and wait for it to vibrate and then let go of the power button to enter fastboot)
- Change back to your Command Prompt
- Type fastboot oem unlock
- Follow prompts on device to unlock bootloader.
- Bootloaders
- Download bootloader to somewhere convenient. I personally just download to the desktop.
- Type in fastboot flash bootloader and then drag the bootloader to the command prompt.
- Once done, type fastboot reboot-bootloader
- Clockwork Mod (CWM) or TeamWin
- Download TW
- Boot tablet into bootloader again (adb reboot-bootloader)
- Type fastboot flash recovery and then drag the recovery to the cmd prompt.
- Once finished type fastboot reboot-bootlader
- Preventing Recovery Overwrite
- Before booting device, from the bootloader, boot into the CWM recovery. Note: Once you are at the bootloader screen, you can't move on to recovery unless there's a connection on the USB port. Plugging it into the wall won't work, but the computer you use doesn't have to have the sdk or Fastboot set up on it, it just needs to be turned on
- Click mounts and storage, and then mount system.
- In command prompt at the platform-tools location where adb.exe is, type adb shell, and press enter.
- Then cd /system
- Lastly, type mv recovery-from-boot.p recovery-from-boot.bak and press enter.
- Rooting
- Boot into CWM
- Click install zip from sdcard
- Choose CWM-SuperSU-v0.94 from wherever you saved it on the sdcard.
- Flash it.
- Back to Stock (Backup your data before doing this!)
- Download the stock image for your appropriate device. (NOTE: the flash-all.bat file in the stock image zip should do all these commands for you as well. If it doesn't work you might have to type them manually.)
- Open a command prompt window where your fastboot.exe lives. (platform-tools normally)
- Type in the following commands and press enter after each one
- Put the device in Fastboot mode by typing:
- adb reboot-bootloader
- In order to do anything useful in fastboot, the bootloader must be unlocked. To do this, run the following fastboot command:
- fastboot oem unlock
- Formatting Instructions:
- fastboot erase boot
- fastboot erase cache
- fastboot erase recovery
- fastboot erase system
- fastboot erase userdata this is your sdcard!
- fastboot flash bootloader then drag the bootloader to the cmd prompt.
- fastboot reboot-bootloader
- fastboot -w update then drag the stock image to the cmd prompt.
- Wait for image to flash and then type
- fastboot reboot-bootloader
- To re-lock this tablet type
- fastboot oem lock
- fastboot reboot

Thinking of flashing a ROM? Wiping your phone? Here's how to backup and restore!
I REALLY recommend buying titanium backup. There's a reason it's one of the TOP paid apps available for android. Note that you have to be rooted to use it! Google might implement a backup option for data though in it's next version of Android.
Backup all new apps & newer versions (nightly): It only backs up the apps that have been updated from the Android Market Place since the last backup and adds any new apps you've downloaded as well.
Flash your ROM and GApps. Boot in to Android completely. Then reboot in to recovery and flash your update.zip.
I REALLY recommend buying titanium backup. There's a reason it's one of the TOP paid apps available for android. Note that you have to be rooted to use it! Google might implement a backup option for data though in it's next version of Android.
1) When you open up titanium backup check and make sure it says you're rooted. Open up preferences and check dropbox/drive/box. Whichever one you use and put in your info for it.
2) Click Schedules to routinely backup your phone. As you can see I have 2 schedules that run daily and 1 manually. So as long as you "restore missing apps and data" immediately after a flash this shouldn't ever happen.
Redo backups for modified data (nightly): This backs up the data for your apps. For example... if you are on Level 35 in Angry Birds, doing this will save that data. When you have to re-install your ROM for whatever reason and have to re-install Angry Birds, the data that states you've passed all the levels prior to Level 35 will be restored.
Backup all new apps & newer versions (nightly): It only backs up the apps that have been updated from the Android Market Place since the last backup and adds any new apps you've downloaded as well.
Delete backups for un-installed apps (manually): This deletes backups for apps I've uninstalled. I wouldn't want titanium backup to restore all the apps I've uninstalled and don't want anymore would I? Be sure to run this before wiping and flashing another rom.
3) If you're using a launcher such as Apex or Nova, I also recommend backing up those settings in the launcher itself just in case Titanium Backup doesn't. I still recommend running TiBu manually before a complete wipe just in case something didn't get backed up.
4) Now is the time to download your respective ROM and Kernels. Put these on your SD card somewhere easy to find. All ROMS depend on the phone/carrier you're using. They're not universal. The two major sites you can find ROMS and Kernels for your device are XDA and RootzWiki.
5) Make sure your backups have run and completed. Something else you can do is make an update.zip of all your apps. This is shown in the 4th image above. This saves you time because right after you flash your ROM/Kernel you can flash this update.zip and have all your apps ready to go right when you boot up your phone. It will save the update.zip by default in the /sdcard directory. If you want to save your wifi/sms/mms information just click the options from the main screen and go to "Backup data to XML..."

It will save the update.zip by default in the /sdcard directory. If you want to save your wifi/sms/mms information just click the options from the main screen and go to "Backup data to XML..."
5) All you have to do now is boot into Clockwork Recovery or TWRP. When you load your recovery make a backup. (this is a complete backup apart from TiBu). After that, wipe system data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache. You can also click "Mounts and Storage" and format the respective folders in there such as system and boot but it's not really necessary most of the time. Keep in mind that everything is still on your sdcard including the Roms, Kernels, Gapps. This only gets erased if you format your storage/sdcard.
6) Once your favorite rom, kernel, and gapps(if necessary) are flashed, reboot the phone and make sure it doesn't hang or anything. If it does reboot back into your recovery and wipe and flash again. This is why it's always wise to make sure you have more than just ONE rom on your device in case something goes wrong. If you do make this mistake and wipe and flash a bad ROM you'll have to use "adb push" to sideload it through your recovery.
7) You can click the about section in the phone settings to check the radio/kernel/ROM/android version you're on.
8) The first thing I do after signing into my Google account is opening up the play store and installing titanium backup. You can also just download the .zip on the web and flash that in CWM as well. Alternatively, you could store the tibu.apk somewhere on the phone and just open it from there.
9) From TiBu, Click the check mark in the top right to access the batch options. Scroll down to restore and click "Restore missing apps and data". Note: I've had issues receiving notifications from apps after restoring data. If this occurs just wipe the data/cache for the app and re-insert your credentials. Just make sure you aren't restoring system data because it can cause conflicts with the ROM/OS. After the batch install is done your phone should be read to go!
Note: I flash stuff often which is why I backup so often!
Pro Tips: If you go to the search, near the bottom you can create filters. I create a filter for stock apps I hate. Then I add all the apps to that filter. Apply the filter. Go to batch. And then uninstall all those apps. It makes it easy and cleans up my phone even more on roms.
Another: When you're editing the schedules, scroll all the way to the bottom and enable syncing to dropbox/drive. It should say "When finished: _____" This way it can sync your backups to dropbox automatically without having to do it manually.

4. Fish
5. Organic Beef
6. Almonds
7. Berries
8. Leafy Greens
Homemade raisin bran
Description: Mix one cup of Total cereal, a packet of raisins, and 1 cup nonfat milk. This simple home recipe with 244 calories fortifies you with 100 percent of the Daily Value for most vitamins and minerals, boosts your protein intake by 12 grams, and gives you a sweet, natural fiber and sugar source.
You'll Save: 50 calories, 6 teaspoons of sugar, and 5 grams of fat compared with ready-to-serve raisin bran doused with a cup of 2-percent milk.
Scrambled whites with greens
Description: This low-fat, scrambled-egg alternative provides 54 grams of high-quality dietary protein in just 255 calories. First, spray your frying pan with fat-free Pam. Then pour the equivalent of four servings of Eggology egg whites (or Second Nature or Egg Beaters egg whites) in a bowl and blend with 1/2 cup spinach and 1/2 cup mushrooms. Heat the pan until the Pam starts to bubble, pour in the eggs, and fry until the eggs are nearly dry.
You'll Save: 40 calories, 100 milligrams of cholesterol, and 13 grams of fat compared with two normal scrambled eggs.
Balanced Diet Shake
Description: For something cool, tasty, and nutrient-filled in the morning, try a shake or smoothie. The Balanced Diet nutritional drink provides 180 calories with lots of complex carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals in a naturally flavored French vanilla or chocolate royale. Each serving includes 5 grams of dietary fiber and 10 grams of soy, or 40 percent of the daily minimum now recommended by the American Heart Association.
You'll Save: 60 calories daily and nearly 6 grams of fat compared with many other similar drinks.
Frozen fruit smoothie
Description: You can prepare your own personal antioxidant-filled fruit smoothie like the following one that runner Bruce Shapiro used to lose 30 pounds over the last few years. Combine and blend: one cup frozen, unsweetened blueberries; 1/2 banana; 1/4 cup wheat germ; and water.
You'll Save: 200 calories for each 2- to 3-cup serving, compared with many store-bought and canned smoothie beverages.
Toasted plain Lender's Bagel with natural jam
Description: Sure, a frozen bagel can't match a fresh one, but it's easier to obtain for many people, and a little toasting brings it to near perfection. Just spread with your favorite natural jam.
You'll Save: Anywhere from 160 to 360 calories and more than 10 grams of fat compared with similar bagels bought at Dunkin' Donuts and other outlets where the bagels are spread with cream cheese.
Boca Burger Grilled Vegetable burger
Description: This zesty, soy-based vegetarian alternative to the high-saturated-fat American BBQ staple contains hints of zucchini, red-bell pepper, garlic, onion, and even a couple of cheeses. It tastes great and provides a good dose of protein. Add some lettuce, tomato, ketchup, or your other favorite toppings, and you'll hardly notice the difference from the traditional burger.
You'll Save: Up to 180 calories and 19 grams of fat compared with a typically-grilled 3-ounce beef burger.
Alvarado Street sprouted wheat tortilla
Description: It's easy to make your own delicious wrap and save hundreds of calories. With this tasty, organic, whole-wheat tortilla you'll have no trouble fixing a quick, hearty lunch. Boost your vitamin and mineral intake by loading on a handful of greens, shredded carrots, tomato, and peppers along with grilled chicken, lean meat, turkey, or a bean-based filler.
You'll Save: Anywhere from 50 calories and 5 grams of fat to much more if you customarily buy a commercial wrap drowning in mayo, oily toppings, or greasy chicken
Subway roast beef sub sandwich
Description: Can't live without meat? You don't have to. Meat is a great source of protein, iron, and several important minerals, and the Subway lean 6-inch roast beef sub contains just 264 calories and 4.5 grams of fat in a meal perfectly balanced with lettuce, tomato, and vegetables.
You'll Save: Nearly 100 calories and 12 grams of fat compared with a tuna salad sub, and more than 20 grams of fat compared with the classic meatball sub.
Health Valley chili
Description: The right soup is always a great part of your weight-loss arsenal. This can of fat-free chili is tasty, easy to prepare, and filled with healthy fiber.
You'll Save: 200 calories and 22 grams of fat compared with other prepared and restaurant chilis.
Tossed salad with croutons instead of salad dressing.
Description: You know that green salads make an important contribution to your day's eating, but you've probably never thought of them as an expression of art and adventure. Here's your chance. Instead of drenching your salads in high-fat dressings, decorate them with croutons, beans, or fruit.
You'll Save: 100 calories and 28 grams of fat when you add 1 ounce of croutons and 1/2 cup of beans, peas, and raisins to your salad in place of 1 ounce of an oil-based dressing. You'll also increase your intake of iron, folic acid, Vitamin C, and fiber.
Frozen grapes, blueberries, and/or bananas
Description: Frozen cold sweet fruits are refreshing, satisfying, nutritious, and taste "smooth" or even creamy like many fat-filled desserts. They're easy to store in your freezer, whether store bought or picked-by-you-and-your-family and then frozen. Because of their texture, temperature, and consistency, they taste sweet, and alert your body to stop eating before you've overdone it.
You'll Save: 80 calories when you compare a whole 12-ounce bag of frozen blueberries to a small serving of TCBY frozen yogurt, and 200 calories and 14 grams of fat when you compare a frozen banana with a 1/2 cup of Ben and Jerry's
Dried papaya, mango, and/or dates
Description: For a sweet taste that mimics a piece of candy, try a dried-fruit snack. Raisins are the most popular, but these papayas, mangos, and dates will provide your daily dose of vitamin C, plus some vitamin A and iron. They require more chewing time than raisins, and will satisfy most people in a smaller quantity than raisins, which are easy to overeat.
You'll Save: 100 to 150 calories for 4 to 6 pieces when compared with a handful of raisins or other dense, sugary foods and candies.
Glenny's Apple Cinnamon Low-Fat Soy Crisps
Description: Available in two-serving bags, these crunchy cinnamon treats will satisfy your sweet tooth while setting you back just 150 calories for 28 crisps. Also available in lightly salted and onion flavor, each bag contains 10 grams of soy protein (The American Heart Association recommends 25 to 50 grams of soy protein each day for heart health) plus 200 percent of your daily vitamin C need, 20 percent of your iron need, and 10 percent of your calcium need.
You'll Save: 150 calories and 15 grams of fat compared with graham-cracker snack treats.
Spaghetti squash
Description: When prepared, the spaghetti squash actually resembles a plate of spaghetti, so you can add all your favorite sauces and toppings. Rich in fluids (about 92.3 percent water), carbohydrates, fiber, potassium, Vitamin C, and pantothenic acid (a B vitamin), spaghetti squash makes an ideal, low-calorie entre that's still filling. (Note: This is not, however, the best way to carbo-load for a marathon, or resupply your leg muscles after a hard workout. For that, you'll want a traditional plate of pasta, heavy on the spaghetti, and light on the sauces.)
You'll Save: 200 calories compared with 2 cups of wheat spaghetti.
Papadini, hi-protein, pure-lentil bean pasta
Description: This delicious, wheat- and gluten-free pasta has a unique, appealing taste, and shouldn't trouble runners whose stomachs are sensitive to regular pastas. It also has 5 more grams of protein per serving than traditional pasta, and is richer in iron, folic acid, and other B-vitamins necessary for metabolizing carbohydrates, proteins, and fats for energy. When you prepare Papadini pasta as a vegetable primavera, tossed with peas, beans carrots, tomatoes, and corn, you get as much protein as a chicken or steak dinner without the excess fat, cholesterol, and calories.
You'll Save: 20 calories per 2-ounce serving compared with traditional wheat pastas.
Idaho Supreme potato pasta
Description: Here's another wheat- and gluten-free alternative to the real McCoy. Potato-based pasta is a delightful, high-complex-carbohydrate, high-fiber wheat alternative. The Idaho Supreme pasta is made from organic potatoes to help preserve the Vitamin C, calcium, and iron necessary for strong, healthy running.
You'll Save: 20 calories per 2-ounce serving compared with traditional pastas.
Advantage\10 pizza
Description: This delicious pizza alternative featuring grilled vegetables was designed by low-fat health guru Dean Ornish. You can practically eat the whole pie for the same number of calories you get from one or two slices at your local pizzeria.
You'll Save: 250 calories and more than 20 grams of fat compared with most restaurant or supermarket pizzas.
Barbara's Mashed Potatoes
Description: They're not a full meal, of course, but these easy-to-prepare mashed potatoes in a box make a great, high-carbohydrate, low-fat "comfort" dish to go with your meal. Prepare them with nonfat milk, water, a little salt, and nonfat margarine.
You'll Save: 50 calories and 6 grams of fat compared with a 1-cup serving of traditional mashed potatoes.

- Edit Other Levels - Scroll to the bottom and click Set number of levels, and set it to 20. Scroll back up and go through the screen column changing the values to these:
I found these to be the most stable voltage settings! If the sensor values are too DIM check here, for some other options. I personally don't see a difference between 200 and 250.
- ROM settings (if available)
- General - "Android Bugmailer" checked.
- Propmodder - Wifi scan interval - set to 270, Check in service - checked, Diable Logcat checked, Sdcard Speed Hack - 2048kb
- Powersaver (A feature that will allow you to set data to check in at specific intervals or turn data off when the screen is off. Use this if you don't need push notifications. I've used it and to be honest didn't notice much but I haven't tested it much either.)
- Enable Powersaver - checked
- Screen Off Action - Data off
- Sync Action - Autosync off
- Screen-off WiFi action - untouched
- Sync data usage - Prefer WiFi
- Sync mobile data - Prefer 3G
- Adjusting Lean Kernel for Optimal Battery/Performance

- Go to kernel menu--> Set Customer Vibration Value--> Set to 1000
- Using Franco App for some battery / performance
- Make sure "SQlite" is checked
- Disable "logger"
- Other settings that will may help:
- USE WIFI as much as you can. This almost doubles my battery life.
- Turn these off!
- Bluetooth
- NFC
- Logout of gtalk
- Adjust individual app data intervals/sync of your apps. Manually is usually the best.
- Dial pad tones, touch sounds, screen lock sounds, vibrate on touch
- Black / Dark Backgrounds: Uses less battery. Helps if the app has an inverted option as well.
- Notes
- Leaving GPS on shouldn't matter, unless there's an app constantly using it.
- I use the stock extended battery/stock battery
- If your battery is draining fast download CPU Spy and use it to make sure your phone is entering into "Deep Sleep" when the screen is off.
- Check your running apps every so often to see what's running in the background
- Buying a spare battery maybe be your best option if you're struggling
- You want Google's location service to be on. This uses wifi and mobile networks to get a location rather than gps (more power).
- Thanks to my friend brkshr. Here's his thread - RootzWiki Thread and also to amplified here. I mainly created this to have as my own personal reference and to add my insights that I've researched.

The Automatic Backlight settings (CyanogenMod settings>Display>Automatic Backlight) allow you to customize how your phone reacts to changes in ambient light measured by the phone. You can control how many light level ranges you want to monitor, and how bright you want the screen, keys, and keyboard buttons to be at each range. Of course you have to enable Automatic Backlight in the normal Android settings first (Display>Brightness).
In googling around on this I've found a number of different approaches and preferences, and it really is something that is very subjective - enough light for one person at a particular ambient light level is too much for another, and vice versa.
The first three settings: Windows length, Reset threshold and Sample interval control the filter conditions. The Windows length is the amount of time for the average figure, while the Sample interval is how long the system waits to take a sample. Personally, I go with larger figures to reduce system load and save battery life.
There are two primary benefits offered by filtering:
1. It can allow you to set up smoother brightness transitions (assuming you also increase the number of custom levels)
2. It can decrease the likelihood of screen flicker in mixed lighting. ( You may find yourself in mixed lighting conditions that straddle two raw brightness levels. Without filtering, these raw levels may cause your screen to repeatedly shift back and forth between two brightness settings. I've found this can easily happen with artificial lighting as it is more directional than natural lighting. Sitting in your office, for example, you may find that simply shifting the angle at which you hold the phone changes the brightness reading.)
Notice that without filtering, the screen brightness jumps back and forth between 70 and 55, which can be very distracting. The filter, on the other hand, maintains a single value for the screen brightness, even under these fluctuating lighting conditions.
Window Length: Filtered value is the average sensor value during this period. Larger values = slow response.
Reset Threshold: There may be times in which you want the screen to respond quickly to changes rather than slowly ramping. Moving from a dark building out in to broad daylight, for example, you don't want to watch your screen slowly brighten over the course of 30 seconds: those are 30 seconds in which your phone may be unreadable. This is where the reset threshold comes in handy. If a raw reading differs from your current average by this amount, the filtered value is immediately reset to the raw value. Finding the right value for your reset threshold allows you the best of both worlds: a screen that gradually changes based on subtle light changes, but responds rapidly to extreme changes.
Sample Interval: Low value can improve accuracy but uses some more CPU.
Allow Light to Decrease: This is a very simple option. If this is checked, your screen brightness will increase and decrease according to your custom levels. If it is unchecked, your screen will brighten as the light sensor reads higher values, but will never darken, even if the sensor detects that you have moved to a very dark area. I'm not quire sure why anyone would want to uncheck this, but maybe I'm missing something.
Decrease Hysteresis: Reduces flicker when decreasing brightness
Window Length: Filtered value is the average sensor value during this period. Larger values = slow response.
Reset Threshold: There may be times in which you want the screen to respond quickly to changes rather than slowly ramping. Moving from a dark building out in to broad daylight, for example, you don't want to watch your screen slowly brighten over the course of 30 seconds: those are 30 seconds in which your phone may be unreadable. This is where the reset threshold comes in handy. If a raw reading differs from your current average by this amount, the filtered value is immediately reset to the raw value. Finding the right value for your reset threshold allows you the best of both worlds: a screen that gradually changes based on subtle light changes, but responds rapidly to extreme changes.

If it is unchecked, your screen will brighten as the light sensor reads higher values, but will never darken, even if the sensor detects that you have moved to a very dark area. I'm not quire sure why anyone would want to uncheck this, but maybe I'm missing something.
In conclusion, if you want a screen that responds very rapidly to changes in ambient lighting, possibly at the risk of flickering, decrease your filter window (or disable the filter completely) and increase your sample interval. If you want a screen that never flickers, possibly at the risk of slow responsiveness, increase your window.
Filter A: 10 second window, 2 second interval
Filter B: 20 second window, 2 second interval
Filter C: 30 second window, 2 second interval
Filter D: Same as Filter C, but includes a reset threshold of 2000
Note how the inclusion of a reset threshold on Filter D allows for immediate responsiveness under extreme light changes while still preserving the gradual shifts at smaller changes.
As for the light sensor levels, you'll have to play with them yourself. Go to a dark area... and adjust the screen level until it's at a brightness that's comfortable for you. Then gradual increase up to outside brightness. Near the bottom you can select more levels as well.

Note how the inclusion of a reset threshold on Filter D allows for immediate responsiveness under extreme light changes while still preserving the gradual shifts at smaller changes.
As for the light sensor levels, you'll have to play with them yourself. Go to a dark area... and adjust the screen level until it's at a brightness that's comfortable for you. Then gradual increase up to outside brightness. Near the bottom you can select more levels as well.

Would Doug Collins excelled and won multiple championships with Jordan and Pippen if he hadn't of been replaced by Phil Jackson?
By Zack - May 27, 2012
Thoughts? This has always made me curious. I respect him as a coach and love how he has handled Philly. (FYI he was drafted #1 out of his class to Philly)
Here is Phil Jackson as the assistant coach to Doug Collins.
"Doug Collins was fired as coach of the Chicago Bulls in 1989 and replaced by assistant Phil Jackson. But if there were ever any hard feelings, as some thought at the time, you'd never know it from Collins' "
"The Bulls had plenty to feel good about for the next season. They had a popular coach in Doug Collins, an up and coming batch of young players (Pippen, Grant), and the best player in the game in Michael Jordan. And due to good moves by management, the Bulls also had three first round picks in the upcoming draft. Which is why it came as a shock to everyone when managing partner Jerry Reinsdorf fired coach Collins and replaced him with assistant coach Phil Jackson."
"The rumor at the time was that Michael Jordan had initiated the firing, which was not true. The owners told Jordan of the move beforehand, but Jordan was unsure about it due to the strong season the Bulls just had. However, both Jerry Reinsdorf and Jerry Krause believed that the team had peaked under Collins and a new coach was needed to bring the team to the next level. Michael was also uncertain about the choice of Phil Jackson, since Jackson had told Michael on several occasions that he was scoring too much."
"On Dec 17th, 1988, Doug Collins was ejected early in a game against the Bucks. Phil took over as coach and put more focus on defense while leaving the offense alone. The players responded well to the changes and finished the game with a big win. Horace Grant said later in an interview “It was like we were let out of a cage. We won the game because we were so relaxed — and we knew that Phil should become a head coach.” Phil Jackson had his first taste of being a head coach, and he liked it."
"Collins became worried that the Bulls were grooming Jackson to replace him, and he was right. The move to replace Collins did come as a surprise to most people, but it had been in the works behind the scenes."
"At the core of my vision was getting the players to think more for themselves. Collins had kept the younger players, especially Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant, on a tight rein, frequently yelling at them when they made mistakes. Throughout the game, they'd look over at the bench, nervously trying to read his mind."
"There are other parts in the book where Jackson talks about Doug "Play a Day" Collins, who was forever trying to come up with different ways to get players besides Jordan involved. And he talks about how some of the coaches on Collins' staff were brilliant. His list includes Tex Winter and Johnny Bach, but not Collins."

The USPS has specific guidelines for sending items under Media Mail. The lists of allowed items are video tapes, film, sound recordings, books, manuscripts, CDs, DVDs and floppy or Zip discs. Magazines are not included on this list because magazines contain advertisements, and advertisements are not allowed to be sent through Media Mail. The Book Rate was mainly for books when it was first created, but if your intention is to send books to or from a library, then you should use the cheaper alternative known as Library Rate. USPS says that the packages are typically sent and received within 7 to 9 days, but this can vary by location.

Beliefs
*Christ stayed in the tomb on Saturday to keep the Sabbath day holy
*Christ didn’t change the Sabbath day to Sunday and that we
have to keep the law of Moses still
*You
get authority by knowing the Bible.
Scriptures to prove wrong:
*Law
of Moses was fulfilled: Mat. 5:17-18, Galat. 3:24, Hosea 2:11
*Apostles
met on the 1st day of the week after the Resurrection: Jn.
20:19;20:26, Acts 20:7, 1 Cor. 16:1-2, Acts 2:1-4
*Law
or Pact of Moses was given only to his people: Deut. 5:2, 3-12,
15
*When
Priesthood changes, laws change: Heb. 7:11-12
*New
Pact: Heb.8:6-9, James 1:25

the word “Sunday”…Sabbath in others.

church! Eph. 4:11-12, 1Tim 2:3-4, Mat. 5:48, 7:13-14

ordinances of the Gospel!! Heb. 5:4 Ã Ex. 28:1, 41; 40:13-15

man CANNOT atone for his own sins
*They confuse salvation, life eternal
and good works
