  Does anyone know how to root a nook?

  0 0 I would start here. There is a tool to download that should make it pretty easy (I don't have a Nook but I do this a bunch on my Android phone) that you can find a link for on page two of this article http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/guides/2011/02/howto-root-a-nook-color-to-transform-it-into-an-android-tablet.ars Stelvin Cordon answered in Tech Support 11 months ago Answer and comment »

  Rooting My Evo

  1 0 I've been wanting to pull the trigger on this too since the last update from Sprint was pretty underwhelming, caused worse battery performance, and was full of bloatware. I've been holding out though as the EVO is supposed to get a Gingerbread update in the next month or two. But, I have been doing a ton of reading up on the process and have found what seems like an excellent primer on how to do this (again, I have not done this myself so I can't personally attest) at http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/03/how-to-root-backup-and-flash-new-rom-and-kernel-on-your-htc-evo.html (this is also a great site for reviews of all the different ROMs out there plus themes etc). It is a well written step by step plus has an eager community that seems to respond quickly in the comments if someone gets in over their head. This link has taken a ton of great info from the excellent XDA site (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=619) and distilled it down nicely for the regular user. Anyway have a go if you feel comfortable and let us know. BTW, the other reason I've been waiting a tad is there has been some good development on better tools for managing multiple ROMs and kernels once rooted without having to be too technical so that could be a nice plus if you do wait.

  I want to make homemade bitters. Can anyone direct me to a good recipe source?

  2 0 I highly recommend the recipe I found in the book "Art of The Bar" called Dr. Schwartz's Cherry-Vanilla Bitters as it is outstanding and also a good place to start with a bunch of the basic bitters type ingredients. The recipe can be found here If you are wondering about where to go for the ingredients I would highly recommend Tenzing Momo in the Pike Place Market. They have most of the stuff that is hard to find. Then, for the vanilla beans I would head down the stairs and across Western to World Spice as they have excellent vanilla beans (plus amazing spices) at reasonable prices. One last note. I have found that Rhubarb Root is another good bittering agent that you can use in combo with the quassia and cherry bark that gives these bitters even more depth.

  Looking for a good place to buy an SSL certificate!

  1 0 Go Daddy is definitely the cheapest option where their SSL cert will be recognized by most browsers. To me there are three options depending on what sort of organization you are: 1. Enterprise Class - It is probably best to go with someone like GlobalSign as they actually do "background" checks to truly verify organizations. The big players, Verisign and all the other companies they've purchased (GeoTrust, etc), do that too but they are usually twice as expensive or more (GlobalSign certs run about $165). The benefit of these is the root certs will be ubiquitous in all browsers and all handheld devices (no user intervention necessary to use the SSL site) 2. Small Business website - go with a super cheap solution like GoDaddy as you don't care about all the bells and whistles and, as I mentioned before, most browsers will recognize their root certs just fine. 3. Tinkerer or flat broke business - Use Cacert.org as they are free free free. They use an old school chain of trust with no checks or anything. The upside is that for no money your site will be able to run SSL without a problem and you spent no money. The down side is that no browsers will recognize their root cert so users will get a warning when they try to go to your site. Again, for development, testing, or just noodling that isn't a big deal. If you are trying to get customers to feel safe shopping you might be in trouble. Stelvin Cordon answered in Science & Technology over 2 years ago Answer, comment & read 3 more answers »

  does anyone know a good cranial sacral masseuse that accepts Primera Blue Cross?

  0 1 Joanne Gurling, LMP, BSN, is a great craniosacral therapist who is a Premera provider. Phone #: 360-640-1559. She lives in Port Angeles, however, so if you're looking for someone closer, I can't help you there. Or you can try Edmonds Wellness Massage. They are credentialed with Premera Blue Cross (and most other insurances except Regence) and are trained in craniosacral therapy. 425-776-3800 Stelvin Cordon answered in Health & Fitness over 3 years ago Answer and comment »
