He is actually very famous but it is hard to see here that this is actually Johnny Depp in character on the set of “Black Mass” where he is playing a famous Boston gangster.

Laughing will increase ur life span.
1) Long back, a person who sacrificed his sleep, forgot his family, forgot his food, Forgot laughter were called "Saints" But now they are called.. "IT professionals"
2) An interesting line written at the back of a Biker ' s T Shirt: "If you are able to see this, please tell me that my girlfriend has fallen off"
3) Most Relationships fail not because of the absence of love.. Love is always present.. Its just that, One loves too much, And the other loves too many,
4) Employee: Boss, Now I have got married..! Please increase my salary..!
BOSS: Factory is not responsible for accidents occurring outside the company..!
5) Philosophy of life
At the beginning of married life, every gal treats her husband as GOD, Later on somehow the alphabets got reversed..!
6) What is a Fear?
Fear is the Deep, Wrenching feeling in your stomach When pages of your book still smell new and Just few hours left for your exams..!
7) Useful
Someone has rightly said, "A fool can ask More questions that a wiseman cannot answer"
No Wonder why so many of us speechless when lecturers ask question..!
8) Girl:
Do you have Cards with sentimental Love quotes?
Shopkeeper:
Oh sure..@! How about this card, it says "To the only boy I ever loved.!"
Girl: That ' s good, Give me 12 of them..!

Go from chill songs to more energetic beats. You’ll know how well you’re doing with time by the songs currently playing.
No need to waste your time and energy on something with no potential.
When you’re hungry and everything looks delicious, you have a tendency to pick out more food. By going after a meal, you’re more likely to just buy the necessities.
Great for when you don’t have an iron (or time).
Set a daily cell phone alert and then floss/brush your teeth so you aren’t tempted to eat useless calories at night. Make sure to drink plenty of water!
Example: “It’s nice to meet you, Jim.”
This works best for flats. Put on thick socks and then your shoes, blow-dry your shoes around the tight sections for a few minutes, let it cool, and you’re done! Test them out and repeat the process if you need them more stretched out.
Ban credit cards! (But not really because those are important.)
You’ll eat less food, chew it properly, savor it more, digest it better, and be hungry less often because both your stomach and mind realize you’ve been fed.
That way you won’t have trouble the next time.
If your good mood goes away, it will be harder to follow through.
And if you’re still having trouble, set all of your clocks back.
The clothes you didn’t use will be on the hangers that are backward.
The warmth will help get rid of it faster.
You’ll be forced to get up and turn it off rather than hit snooze and fall back asleep.
You may have to repeat the process every now and again, but it keeps your rings from turning a copper color and you won’t have green stains!
This is how most flight attendants pack.
You will probably ruin the highlighter, but if you’re desperate to get permanent marker off, this will help. After you neutralize the stain, clean it off with soap and water.
Flights without TV should be banned, but this is a good alternative.
And you can start with the garage.
Twenty years from now, you’ll want memories, not trinkets.
You’ll save a surprising amount of time if you just stop procrastinating.

8 Backup Tools Explained for Windows 7 and 8
Backups on Windows can be confusing. Whether you’re using Windows 7 or 8, you have quite a few integrated backup tools to think about. Windows 8 made quite a few changes, too.
You can also use third-party backup software, whether you want to back up to an external drive or back up your files to online storage. We won’t cover third-party tools here — just the ones built into Windows.
Backup and Restore on Windows 7
Windows 7 has its own Backup and Restore feature that lets you create backups manually or on a schedule. You’ll find it under Backup and Restore in the Control Panel.
The original version of Windows 8 still contained this tool, and named it Windows 7 File Recovery. This allowed former Windows 7 users to restore files from those old Windows 7 backups or keep using the familiar backup tool for a little while. Windows 7 File Recovery was removed in Windows 8.1.
System Restore
System Restore on both Windows 7 and 8 functions as a sort of automatic system backup feature. It creates backup copies of important system and program files on a schedule or when you perform certain tasks, such as installing a hardware driver. If system files become corrupted or your computer’s software becomes unstable, you can use System Restore to restore your system and program files from a System Restore point.
This isn’t a way to back up your personal files. It’s more of a troubleshooting feature that uses backups to restore your system to its previous working state.
Previous Versions on Windows 7
Windows 7′s Previous Versions feature allows you to restore older versions of files — or deleted files. These files can come from backups created with Windows 7′s Backup and Restore feature, but they can also come from System Restore points. When Windows 7 creates a System Restore point, it will sometimes contain your personal files. Previous Versions allows you to extract these personal files from restore points.
This only applies to Windows 7. On Windows 8, System Restore won’t create backup copies of your personal files. The Previous Versions feature was removed on Windows 8.
File History
Windows 8 replaced Windows 7′s backup tools with File History, although this feature isn’t enabled by default. File History is designed to be a simple, easy way to create backups of your data files on an external drive or network location.
File History replaces both Windows 7′s Backup and Previous Versions features. Windows System Restore won’t create copies of personal files on Windows 8. This means you can’t actually recover older versions of files until you enable File History yourself — it isn’t enabled by default.
System Image Backups
Windows also allows you to create system image backups. These are backup images of your entire operating system, including your system files, installed programs, and personal files. This feature was included in both Windows 7 and Windows 8, but it was hidden in the preview versions of Windows 8.1. After many user complaints, it was restored and is still available in the final version of Windows 8.1 — click System Image Backup on the File History Control Panel.
Storage Space Mirroring
Windows 8′s Storage Spaces feature allows you to set up RAID-like features in software. For example, you can use Storage Space to set up two hard disks of the same size in a mirroring configuration. They’ll appear as a single drive in Windows. When you write to this virtual drive, the files will be saved to both physical drives. If one drive fails, your files will still be available on the other drive.
This isn’t a good long-term backup solution, but it is a way of ensuring you won’t lose important files if a single drive fails.
Microsoft Account Settings Backup
Windows 8 and 8.1 allow you to back up a variety of system settings — including personalization, desktop, and input settings. If you’re signing in with a Microsoft account, OneDrive settings backup is enabled automatically. This feature can be controlled under OneDrive > Sync settings in the PC settings app.
This feature only backs up a few settings. It’s really more of a way to sync settings between devices.
OneDrive Cloud Storage
Microsoft hasn’t been talking much about File History since Windows 8 was released. That’s because they want people to use OneDrive instead.
OneDrive — formerly known as SkyDrive — was added to the Windows desktop in Windows 8.1. Save your files here and they’ll be stored online tied to your Microsoft account. You can then sign in on any other computer, smartphone, tablet, or even via the web and access your files. Microsoft wants typical PC users “backing up” their files with OneDrive so they’ll be available on any device.
You don’t have to worry about all these features. Just choose a backup strategy to ensure your files are safe if your computer’s hard disk fails you. Whether it’s an integrated backup tool or a third-party backup application, be sure to back up your files.

A reddit user spent 57 days and $5000 building this one-of-a-kind tree house. Check it out!
This was the tree that was selected for the tree house. It was a live oak with three large branches.
The property was situated on a hillside. There was an existing deck (on the right) 26 feet from the tree (the branches on the left), with a gravel access road in between.
A rope ladder access just wouldn’t do, so they decided to build a bridge.
He poured concrete post foundations to place the supporting framework in for stability.
The side slats were made from deconstructed wine barrels (it was wine country after all).
It was going to be a drawbridge initially…
But it would have been dangerous for children.
To prevent any damage from swaying in the wind, he added sliding beam brackets to the support pieces so that the tree could move a little.
Then, it was time to build the deck.
The final deck size was final deck 12′ x 18′.
The final deck size was final deck 12′ x 18′.
The tree house itself is 8 feet wide by 12 feet long. The over-sized deck gives a two foot walkway around the tree house, although dodging some branches was required.
Sheathing, weatherproofing, and windows installed.
They chose not to let the branches go through the house.
Instead, they built around them.
That way, the house could still be weather-proofed and prevent insects from getting in.
This is what the inside looked like.
Aside from being a cool place to getaway…
The tree house also has electricity, water, phone, cable, internet, and in-wall speaker wiring.
It’s a home away from home.
The finished product.
Look at the view!
