How to Install CyanogenMod on the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE ("t0lte")
This guide will walk you through the process of taking the Galaxy Note 2 LTE from stock to having a custom recovery image and the ability to flash the latest version of CyanogenMod.
Note: DISCLAIMER
Modifying or replacing your device's software may void your device's warranty, lead to data loss, hair loss, financial loss, privacy loss, security breaches, or other damage, and therefore must be done entirely at your own risk. No one affiliated with the CyanogenMod project is responsible for your actions. Good luck.
Installing a custom recovery on Galaxy Note 2 LTE
Samsung devices come with a unique boot mode called Download Mode which is very similar to Fastboot Mode on some devices with unlocked bootloaders. Heimdall is a cross-platform, open source tool for interfacing with Download Mode on Samsung devices. The preferred method of installing a custom recovery is through this boot mode. Rooting the stock firmware is neither recommended nor necessary.
- Download and install the Heimdall Suite
- Windows: Extract the Heimdall suite and take note of the directory holding
heimdall.exe. You can verify Heimdall is working by opening a command prompt in this directory and typing
heimdall version. If you receive an error, be sure that you have the Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package (x86/32bit) installed on your computer.
- Linux: Pick the appropriate installation package based on your distribution. The
-frontendpackages are not required for this guide. After installation, heimdall should be available from the terminal; type
heimdall versionto verify installation succeeded.
- Mac: Install the dmg package. After installation, heimdall should be available from the terminal; type
heimdall versionto verify installation succeeded.
- Building from source: The source code for the Heimdall Suite is available on Github. For more details about how to compile the Heimdall Suite, please refer to the
READMEfile on Github under the relevant operating system directory. You can also refer to the Install and compile Heimdall instructions on this wiki.
- Windows: Extract the Heimdall suite and take note of the directory holding
- Download recovery -- you can directly download a recovery image using the link below, or visit TWRP or CWM sites to check for the latest version of recovery for your device (if your device can be found there).
- Recovery: recovery-clockwork-18.104.22.168-t0lte.img
- md5:
- Power off the Galaxy Note 2 LTE and connect the USB adapter to the computer but not to the Galaxy Note 2 LTE, yet.
- Boot the Galaxy Note 2 LTE into download mode. Home & Volume Down & Power Accept the disclaimer on the device. Then, insert the USB cable into the device.
- Windows (only) driver installation - Skip this step if you are using Linux or Mac
- A more complete set of the following instructions can be found in the Zadig User Guide.
- Run
zadig.exefrom the Drivers folder of the Heimdall Suite.
- Choose Options » List All Devices from the menu.
- Select Samsung USB Composite Device or MSM8x60 or Gadget Serial or Device Name from the drop down menu. (If nothing relevant appears, try uninstalling any Samsung related Windows software, like Samsung Windows drivers and/or Kies).
- Click Replace Driver (having selecting "Install Driver" from the drop down list built into the button).
- If you are prompted with a warning that the installer is unable to verify the publisher of the driver, select Install this driver anyway. You may receive two more prompts about security. Select the options that allow you to carry on.
- At this point, familiarise yourself with the Flashing heimdall notes below so that you are prepared for any strange behaviour if it occurs.
- On the computer, open a terminal (or Command Prompt on Windows) in the directory where the recovery image is located and type:
heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img --no-reboot
- Tip: The file may not be named identically to what's in this command. If the file is wrapped in a zip or tar file, extract the file first, because heimdall isn't going to do it for you.
- A blue transfer bar will appear on the device showing the recovery being transferred.
- Unplug the USB cable from your device.
- You can now manually reboot the phone into recovery mode. Home & Volume Up & Power Be sure to reboot into recovery immediately after having installed the custom recovery. Otherwise the custom recovery will be overwritten and the device will reboot (appearing as though your custom recovery failed to install).
- The Galaxy Note 2 LTE now has recovery installed. Continue to the next section.
Note: Flashing with heimdall
- In Windows 7 UAC (User Account Control) may need switching off. Once Heimdall is finished it can be re-enabled.
- Protocol initialization can fail if the device is connected via a USB hub - connect the USB cable directly to the PC
- It may be necessary to run the heimdall flash command as root in Linux or Mac OS X:
sudo heimdall flash [...]. Typical symptoms of this are:
- a blue bar doesn't show up after the process has finished
- Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence!
- It may be necessary to capitalize the name of the partition on some devices. Try
--KERNELinstead of
--recoveryinstead of
- If on Linux 64bit you get "unable to execute ./heimdall: No such file or directory", try the 32bit version and make sure to run it with sudo: reference.
- On Mac OS X you may see this message: "ERROR: Claiming interface failed!". If so, you need to disable the default USB drivers with the following commands:
sudo kextunload -b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBCDC;
sudo kextunload -b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBCDCACMControl;
sudo kextunload -b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBCDCACMData;
If you have installed Samsung Kies, you may further need to unload those USB drivers with the following commands:
sudo kextunload -b com.devguru.driver.SamsungComposite;
sudo kextunload -b com.devguru.driver.SamsungACMData
sudo kextunload -b com.devguru.driver.SamsungACMControl
Helpful Tip
- The stock ROM may overwrite your custom recovery on boot. To prevent this, boot immediately into recovery after leaving Download Mode instead of letting the ROM boot up normally. If your recovery is overwritten, simply redo the steps you followed above and catch it before it boots next time.
- Note for upgrades from gingerbread to jellybean remember the recovery is changed. This means once you install do NOT restore to old-gingerbread-stock ROM from cwm-recovery. Trying to do this will completely mess up and lead to phone rebooting in boot screen. In such case download Heimdall firmware packages for stock GT-I9000 from XDA and completely reinstall device.
- For upgrade from stock/CM7/CM9/CM10.1.2/CM10.1.3 to CM10.2: Reboot into CWM-recovery. Backup. Wipe (data/factory reset), and wipe cache (important). Now install the new CM10.2. If you _not_ wipe cache, you will get new boot animation, spinning arrow forever. The partition layout of CM10.2 is different so it is must to wipe cache. See thread. More about repartitioning. If you missed it (like me), then go back to stock firmware as given in previous step and repeat the whole process.
- Some users have reported connection errors if the device is connected to a USB hub. If you experience such errors it is recommended that you try connecting your device to a USB port on the motherboard.
- Antivirus software may prevent Heimdall from connecting properly. Disable your antivirus before proceeding.
- When Heimdall fails to connect, the Download mode may get stuck, making all further attempts fail too. To retry, you may need to restart the Download mode: turn off the phone by holding Power for 5-10 seconds (or by pulling out the battery), then boot into Download mode and run Heimdall again.
- If Heimdall fails to connect (errors related to initializing the protocol, or transferring data):
- if you just installed the driver, try rebooting your computer and trying again.
- if you still have troubles after reboot, in Zadig try installing the libusbK driver rather than the WinUSB driver.
Installing CyanogenMod from recovery
- Make sure your computer has working adb.
- Download the CyanogenMod package for your device that you'd like to install to your computer.
- Optional: Download 3rd party applications packages, like Google Apps which are necessary to download apps from Google Play.
- Boot to recovery mode, and connect the phone to your computer through USB.
- Home & Volume Up & Power
- In ClockworkMod Recovery, use the physical volume buttons to move up and down. On most devices, the power button is used to confirm a menu selection, but for some devices a physical home key acts as a selector. Some devices have touch enabled ClockworkMod Recovery, in which case you may be able to swipe to, or touch, menu selections.
- Optional (Recommended): Select backup and restore to create a backup of your current ROM.
- Select wipe data/factory reset.
- You have two options for transferring and installing the installation packages. The sideload method is more universal across devices, whereas the push and install method is more commonly used:
- Sideload method: select install zip > install zip from sideload. Follow the on-screen notices to install the package. The installer does not necessarily display an "Install complete." message. You can tell the install is complete if there were no fatal error messages and you have regained control over the menu.
- Push and install method: Open a command prompt (or Terminal on Mac and Linux) and navigate to the directory holding the package(s) you would like to install. On the device, navigate to the mounts and storage menu. If you see
/sdcardas a mountable volume, go ahead and mount it. If you do not see one of these partitions, then instead mount the
/datapartition. Take note of which volume you mounted. Now, push the package(s) to your device (also, see tip below):
- - If you mounted /storage/sdcard0, then:
adb push update.zip /storage/sdcard0/
- - If you mounted /sdcard or /data, then:
adb push update.zip /sdcard/
- - If you mounted /storage/sdcard0, then:
- where
update.zipshould be replaced with the package filename. Go back to the main menu and select install zip. Choose to install from the same directory where you pushed the package(s). If you are installing multiple packages, install CyanogenMod first and then install any subsequent packages on top of it.
- Once installation has finished, return to the main menu and select reboot system now. The device will now boot into CyanogenMod.
Helpful Tip– SD card folders
CyanogenMod 10.1 and newer have multi-user support (introduced in Android 4.2). If your device has storage on the /data partition, then Android actually looks in /data/media/0/ for the first user's /sdcard/ storage. ClockworkMod recovery symlinks /sdcard/ to /data/media/ though. So, if you are pushing files to internal storage in recovery and want them to be visible in Android, you should push them to /sdcard/0/ or /data/media/0/. Here's the most frequent scenarios:
- If you're coming from a ROM with Android 4.1 or older to CyanogenMod 10 or older:
adb push update.zip /sdcard/
- If you're coming from a ROM with Android 4.1 or older to CyanogenMod 10.1 or newer:
adb shell "mkdir /sdcard/0/"followed by
adb push update.zip /sdcard/0/
- If you're coming from a ROM with Android 4.2 or newer to CyanogenMod 10.1 or newer:
adb push update.zip /sdcard/0/

Glad to be in the South
As a native of Savannah, Ga., my husband, Pete and I lived in Los Angeles, Calif., for the past 28 years and are now 3-year residents of Aiken.
We were sitting at IHOP and noticed an elderly couple in the booth next to us. They held hands then placed them on the table and with heads bowed began to say a blessing before their meal. Observing this made me realize that there are radial differences in the way people behave in public, especially when it comes to prayer. In Los Angeles, you would seldom see this scenario.
Shortly after moving to Aiken, my husband was involved in a near fatal auto accident. Our next-door neighbors were almost total strangers, but immediately came forward with help. They visited Pete in the hospital several times and prayed for him as though he was a long-time friend. They brought me food and provided transportation to the hospital while my car was being repaired. The day of Pete's release they helped us with our trip home and brought a hospital bed and medical equipment loaned to us by parishioners of their church. Our neighbors are the Rev. and Mrs. Darrell Engle of Cornerstone Baptist Church. For three years they have demonstrated abundant love and support and we are truly devoted to them and are members of their church.
In Los Angeles, we had a next-door neighbor for 12 years who never spoke a word to us. He didn't return a "hello" or even a simple nod and we rode the elevator with him in silence several times a week.
The people of Aiken continue to reach out with love and compassion and I can't express it emphatically enough: It's really good to be back in the South.

Charlie reminded me that I used to make a lot more cookies.
Big, chewy and full of flavor.
hi you! thanks for the cookie recipe link. xo.
hellooooo! Thanks for the link to the cookies. I've tried to knit a few cabled hats this winter and was NOT successful!
Those cookies look divine! I'll definitely have to try them out!
My mouth is watering because of those cookies! I need to make some very soon!
that hat will be gorgeous when done, but i BET it's slow going on size 4 needles!
that hat will be gorgeous when done, but i BET it's slow going on size 4 needles!
Yum! Cookies!
I love the hat. I've made about 20 this winter, but only because they were small-child sized, mostly with bulky yarn. It's been a fun thing to do. I tried a couple of cable patterns of my own, which resulted in some cool texture, but slightly odd patterns...
Thank goodness it was for a 4yo who lives for bright colors and crazy patterns! I finally started one on a size 5 needle, with a sport-weight yarn. Yay for pretty, lacy hats!
Bake that boy more cookies! He'll grow way too fast!
The hat is a beautiful pattern. I bet it will be really warm once it's finished ...
My sons and I made several different cookies from your list in the last month and they were all so delicious and easy to make. Thank you for sharing another recipe.
Oh, your knitting is gorgeous!
I LOVE cables, but. Too hard in a car, or while watching TV, or a hockey game... I think I'll have to save them for those days when I'm not chauffering - I mean, parenting, so... intensely. Love lemon - can't wait to try the cookies!
Yummy yarn and cookies. I haven't purchased cookies in awhile and the ones I made just last week have been gobbled up with a few blinks of the eye. Now my children are walking around looking in cupboards and asking for more. These would fit the bill nicely. Thanks.
This hat will be so nice! My mouth is watering too!
Looks like a great cookie recipe, thank you. Lots of lemons here in California right now, so will make them this weekend!
Those cookies sound delicious! I have been craving homemade baked goods as of late but I have been battling laziness as well :)
That hat is gorgeous. I've added it to my queue. I'm in the luvinthemommyhood's Warm Up Winter KAL and that hat will be a great knit for that.
The cookies look great. I made some Lemon Snowdrops cookies today that I stumbled across from Pinterest.
They were delicious and so easy. You should give them a try and the other recipe that led me to these are great too. California Dreamin' Cookies. Just a couple more ideas for your cookie repertoire.
nice one on the cookie front mate! We are on summer holidays and my starving little cuties are eating me outta the house and this mama is getting a little bored making the same ole same ole!
I enjoy knitting cables but I haven't learned to knit them without a cable needle yet. I hope the hat pattern works out for you.
It's becoming a very nice hat though, I like it so far. :) And YUMMMM those cookies
Your hat is beautiful. The cookies look tasty. Had the hide the page from the hubs as I read it.I didn't want him to get any ideas.
I had a scarf that every time I got to row 17 I had to start over. It's in the stash box now. Thanks for the recipe I love sugar cookies.
Beautiful hat. I hate when something that should be easy gets me. Good plan to use markers. Oy. I will be making these cookies today for our time at the park. I do always appreciate your weekly or whenever cookie recipes.
OOO, know what you mean! I had started a lace ribbon scarf back in the fall and tried to finish it before Thanksgiving. Somewhere along the line (never figured out where) I had messed up and I ripped back about 7 or 8 times. I picked it up several times, and every time, it kept getting off. I finally threw it in my bag to "cool off" from it. I took it out after the holidays and went back 2 rows and sailed along just perfectly!!! It is now finished! GOSH! REALLY!?
So good to hear you are back at your knitting! ~Jan
Hello, friend! So happy to see your knitting and your cookies today.
yeah for knitting! thanks for sharing the recipe~
Glad to know that with your talent, sometimes you make mistakes too :)
Glad you liked the cookies!
What a gorgeous cabled hat pattern! It will look very sharp in the charcol gray. Markers are a knitter's best friend :)
Great post. Love slow knitting - sometimes that's best. The cookies look delicious and I love the tower of cookies photograph. Mmmm. Thanks for the link to the recipe.
Your knitting may be a pain but it is looking fab - as do those cookies. Have a lovely weekend. x
I am currently knitting that same hat - and it has been a bear for me, too! Luckily it is beautiful and the yarn soft or I'd have tossed it all to the side already!
my knitting is going this way too, on the needles, off the needles, count, recount. oh dear.
Your cookies look delicious, Leslie! I also love the yarn you're using for your new hat. Have a great weekend!
both your projects look delicious...I really need to pick up my needles and get stitching! Enjoy your days!
Lovely hat, I hope by now that is has stopped giving you so much trouble. :) Thank you for the cookie link!
Left you a message on ravelry. For your hat compare the written directions to the chart. One might not match the other.
Oh I always love seeing your cookie recipes (nearly as much as the knitting!) Thanks for sharing - might have to try this one!
Lemon cookies have already been made TWICE in the household. Simple and really yummy!
I think I'll be hiding some in the freezer to grab when we have some unexpected guests (or to hide from my adult son who LOVES them and will polish off a whole batch very quickly).
Oh, so delicious.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- University of Tennessee at Chattanooga graduate Donna-Kay Henry (Jamaica Village, N.Y.) will fulfill her dream of playing professional soccer after signing to play for the FC Neunkirch in Switzerland.
"She's been working for this for years," UTC Head Coach J.D. Kyzer said of his star striker. "It's a dream a lot of people have, but few get to make happen."
Henry, Chattanooga's only four-time All-Conference soccer player, will depart her hometown of New York for Switzerland on Thursday joining longtime friend Nicole McClure on the team. McClure a former goal keeper with the University of South Florida was instrumental in helping Henry get noticed.
"I saw Nicole when I went home to New York and told her that I was trying to continue playing and she said she'd let me know if anything came up with her team, the FC Neunkirch," Henry said. "A few weeks later she said her coach was looking for more players and he contacted me via email."
After exchanging paperwork and answering a few questions, Henry was offered a spot on the team.
She was born in Jamaica and moved to New York when she was seven. She has dual citizenship with the United States and Jamaica, an independent country with Great Britain's Queen Elizabeth II serving as the Jamaican monarch. With that in mind she has bigger goals than just playing professionally, however.
"I hope this gives me an opportunity to play and showcase my talent," she said. "I want to continue to get better and be able to play for the National team, either the U.S. or Great Britain.
"Being so far away from home will be a bit difficult since I've never been anywhere except the U.S. and Jamaica. I don't know what to expect, but I'm excited to go."
"Playing overseas can open doors for her everywhere," Kyzer said. "Others countries are more supportive of soccer. For them soccer is pretty much a way of life."
Upon her arrival at Chattanooga, her speed and ball handling abilities quickly set the Southern Conference on its ear. She finished her career second all-time at UTC for points (78), goals (31), assists (16) and shots attempted (213). She drew many fouls as opponents, unable to keep up, would take her down on the way towards the goal.
As a sophomore, she scored a school-record four goals against USC Upstate for a school-record eight points in a single game in the Gardner-Webb Border Classic. In her senior year she was named that tournament's MVP. She had a hat trick in her junior season with three goals against Georgia Southern and scored two goals against Elon that same year.
"Playing UTC taught me that I have a role," Henry said. "I was the go-to person, the person they looked to to score goals and I was the person they looked to to pump them up if we were down five goals. It's kept me going and pushed me harder every game."
Henry earned a spot on the UTC Dean's List and Athletics Director's Honor Roll as well as the Southern Conference All-Academic Team. She graduated in December with a degree in Health and Human Performance and is employed by Exceed Physical Fitness.
She will depart Thursday for Switzerland to begin training to play with her new team.

Who Hates Their Relationship?
Does anyone else hate the relationship they're in? Seriously?
I've been in this one for the last 10 months, and I swear to god I hate it more and more. I would leave if I could, but I can't, seeing as her life has gone to utter shit, and knowing her, it wouldn't be long until she hurts herself. The story goes that we met in class, and over a few months of talking, I warmed up to the thought of being in a relationship. I asked her out, hoping for the best, and it went great for the first month and a half. We felt a really great connection, and I felt like we were honestly in love.
The problem started in February; being with her made my grades go down a bit, so I got the shit from my parents(another thread as is) which made me have to stop seeing her out of class for a bit. She took it in the worst of ways, making it seem like I was purposely trying to avoid her, that I was mad at her for something, and that I was trying to break up with her. We fought a bit, but we patched things up, and I thought, this could work right? No, because she would never get over it, and always made me feel like shit over it. She always talked about how shit life was for her at home, and how she felt everything she had was dying. It made me feel like utter shit, so I decided to make it as fast of a punishment as I could
I got my grades up, and it was going smoothly, until she basically started forcing me to be with her every day, giving me no chance to have my life, while she got all the leeway to flirt with everyone, and go out with no care. I felt trapped, so I went to break it off, and there she goes, complaining again, putting a knife to her throat, saying she'll do it, and I had no choice. That's when I started hating everything.
She never stopped being so fucking needy, always wanting what she wanted like a child, and always crying when it didn't happen. I worked day and night at my fucking job, so I could keep up with her stupid wants, giving up my fucking life to support her tantrums. It got to the point where in the summer, I signed up for more classes, just to get away from her. And she would never accept it, basically crying, and bothering me in class until I replied to her. I could never shake her off, and I could never get rid of her.
Worse, I finally get my chance to play some shows with my band on the East Coast, as well as see some schools, and she made it her fucking mission to ruin it. Every fucking day, it was more and more bullshit about abandoning her, about being an asshole for wanting to move away from her, and more fucking suicide threats when I tried to break it off. She goes off to one party, even after we agreed no more, and almost gets raped by her idiot friends(even bigger fucking idiots than she is), and now I'm supposed to fucking make her feel better and fix it all a thousand miles away?
So far, this year has been no different. She's needy, childish, idiotic, utterly detached, and utterly fucking ruining everything. I'm trying to keep my sanity, applying to art schools, holding a fucking job, and trying to support everything else I have to do, and she cannot make anything easier. I wish I could break up with her, but I can't, because there hovers the knowledge that she will kill herself in two seconds after I walk out the door. I'm not in the mood to have another dead person on my conscience, but I just want to breath again.
P.S. She's already going to a doctor for all of this, she's already heavily medicated. Her parents are absolute idiots incapable of being there for her, that made her the person she is today.

So I'm accidentally dating two different guys
But for real, accidentally.
First guy I'm really into, but he's trying to move to Austin in the next two months, and so there's obviously not any long term goals with that. But he still wants to date me because he really likes me, blah blah I really don't understand but I like him a lot (embarrassingly) so I'm going with the flow. He's a writer too, and he's got that sarcastic self depreciating dark humor that like, hello, that's me.
Second guy I'm into but not as much as the first guy. We have a shocking amount of things in common. One of our mutual friends tried to set us up like 2 years ago, but we never actually met up or anything. We matched on tinder (LOL) bc I redownloaded it bc I was pissy about guy 1. But we both run on the edge of the same friend group so we've hung out a couple times and it's always fun seeing him. So we actually went on a date last night. I do like him and really did have a fantastic time with him but did catch myself thinking about guy 1 during date (not a good sign).
Guy 1 is not looking for a relationship, because he has terrible experience with long distance. Understandable.
Guy 2 on our date last night kept saying things like "I'm keeping you around" and basically inferred that he's interested in a relationship (at some point, idk).
Have not had exclusivity talkz with either of them.
As a girl I'm like ~dating 2 people at once self conscious guilty~ but like, I shouldn't be.
I should play the field and see how it goes.

I'm drunk
I like someone who's poly/pan who i make out with regularly but he strings me along when it comes to anything beyond that. I've told him that I like him and he told me I had to meet his partner, but him and his partner broke up like 2 months ago so said by my roommate (we got into an argument after them telling me this because of context and distrust to this person) and I brought this up to him and he, whilst not needing to, said "I need some time."
What I'm saying is, what's your favorite booze? I'm drunk off Hamms and PBR but like to have my Burbon Gingers.

There is nothing a Timberland Cross basketball game. When Cross visits Timberland, its a spectacle, but when Timberland comes to Cross its an event.
The reason is the size of the Cross gymnasium. Its tiny.
When I played high school basketball in northeastern Indiana, many of the schools still had the small Cracker Box gymnasiums built before World War II. They were tiny, cramped, muggy, and packed to the rafters with fans on Friday nights.
Because of the cramped confines and the acoustics, these gyms were LOUD. I discovered the meaning of the word deafening, when you could see your coachs mouth moving but not hear a word.
When you hit a go-ahead bucket with less than a minute remaining in the game, that place erupted. You could feel the noise as a tremor in the pit of your gut.
Playing at Cross is like that, especially when Timberland comes to town.
Seating capacity at Cross is in the ballpark of 1,700 in the bleachers. When the Trojans play Timberland, those 1,700 spots sat much more, with the crowd packed like sardines in mustard sauce. There were more than 2,000 mustard soaked sardines in attendance last Friday night.
Theres not a lot of room between bleachers and courtside at CHS. Even in winter with all the body heat crammed inside it gets hot and muggy. Tempers grow short. And it gets LOUD.
Where you couldnt sit, you stood, and this Friday night crowd brought new meaning to the sports event term, Standing Room Only.
There truly was no room left in the inn.
And the highlight reel isnt confined to just the game. Sometimes there are near fights in the stands when Timberland fan and Cross followers must sit shoulder to shoulder.
Last year, in a show of community unity, the Timberland and Cross cheerleaders performed a joint cheer at halftime of the girls game. The packed house stood and roared.
Then barely a half hour later, prior to the beginning of the boys game, what started as a friendly cheer-off across opposite sides of the gym almost turned into a full-on riot out in the front lobby as the cheerleading squads made like the movie and brought it on.
This year, the crowd was pretty tame during the first few minutes of the boys game. The Trojans jumped out to a 10-3 lead off a Jaywann Washington 3-pointer. Then Timberlands Austin McKinney entered the game.
Barely a half-minute and two steals later, McKinney pulled the Wolves to within three.
I knew what was coming. You could see it in Austins eyes. A third straight steal and breakaway led to one of those signature McKinney dunks, and the gym exploded.
I felt the noise in the pit of my gut. Nothing brings basketball fans to their feet more quickly in a tiny gym than a righteous slam dunk. And this one was righteous. So was the second one a few minutes later.
Sandwiched in between was a no-look McKinney pass to Shamell Williams from half court that gave Timberland the lead for good. Fans actually rushed the court a few feet when that happened.
Thats when I stopped taking pictures and became a fan myself.
Games like this bombard the five senses. Ive been here five years and I havent missed one yet.

My photography resolution for the next few weeks does not involve the camera.
It's a War on scanning. Me versus the black machine and a large pile of precious letters from World War II.
I have determined that I will take each of these carefully catalogued heirlooms (in date order, by my Dad) and scan it on to my hard drive, with care and affection.
Once scanned, I aim to serialise these most treasured of letters, which will be a labour of love (and deep emotion no doubt) on my Blog and Twitter.
Their contents are a rich stream of stories home from the war, by a boy no more than 18 years old, to his mother, who happened to be my Nan. They continue over a 4 year period, beyond the war's end, and tell of his love for a young girl (too young to be getting married) and his ultimate, terrible, and tragic demise.
I aim to do justice to the boy who was Joe, my Uncle, whom I never met. I hope you will stop by and read about his story.
This is my resolution and it will be my privilege to keep it.
To read the story behind these letters, visit an old post here. For other letters from the war, check out the stories of the Nelson Family from Minnesota.

Reality TV star supervises casting for 'MasterChef' auditions in ColumbusWritten by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | email@example.com
Erika Landin found reality TV success through appearances on "Big Brother." She has parlayed that into a career as a casting producer for the genre's biggest hits: "Survivor," "The Amazing Race," "The Bachelor," "MasterChef" and several others.
Landin will cast kitchen hopefuls for the FOX cooking competition show "MasterChef" at an open casting call from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Oct. 19 in Columbus. The call will take place at the Hyatt Regency Columbus, 350 N. High St.
In its fifth season, the show, hosted by chefs Gordon Ramsay, Graham Elliot and Joe Bastianich, conducts a nationwide search for the best home cooks in America.
Landin, a former Pilates instructor, has been casting the cooking show since its second season; she also cast the current season of "MasterChef Junior." She said in Columbus she will look for people with a passion for cooking.
"The easiest part of my job is picking the cast," she said in an Oct. 15 telephone interview from Los Angeles. "We find people who love to cook and we get lucky when their personalities come along with them."
With such memorable cast members as Season 3 winner Christine Ha, a blind chef, and Season 4's Krissi Biasiello, who swore and threatened other contestants on her way to the top 10, "MasterChef" has stayed fresh.
"We're really lucky because a lot of incredible personalities audition and they are great cooks," Landin said.
The casting producer said she has a team that tastes the food and a separate team that talks to hopefuls and gathers their back stories.
"We pick a top 100 and then those people meet the three judges; Gordon, Graham and Joe then narrow it down.
"MasterChef" held a casting call in Cleveland last year and is making its first stop in Columbus, on a tour that includes New Orleans, Orlando, Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles and five other cities.
"We're excited to come to Columbus," Landin said. "We try to have a cross-section of the country, people from all walks of life. We look for people who have never stepped into a professional kitchen. They became lawyers or they cut your grass or they do something else. 'MasterChef' gives them a chance to follow their cooking dreams."
Landin said she is not a foodie.
"I make great reservations," she said with a laugh. "I'm not much of a cook but I know how to eat really well."
Although she casts several reality TV shows, Landin said there is no real cross-pollination.
"When I am casting 'MasterChef' I may see someone who could work well for 'The Bachelor' or 'Amazing Race,' but the people who try out for
'MasterChef' have a specific passion for food, and this is really the show for them," she said.
Landin encouraged people with kitchen aspirations to come to the Columbus auditions.
"It's not like 'American Idol' where 25,000 people try out," she said. "People get intimidated by the name of our show, but we recognize these are home cooks and the journey is about learning. If you've ever wondered if you can fulfill that dream, we want you to come out and try."

text: MAC Star Wonder Mineralize Skinfinish ($29.00 for 0.24 oz.) is described as a "plummy pink with multi-dimensional pearl." It's a pinky-plum with a pale golden shimmer. It has swirls of champagne beige, pink-tinted plum, and a peachy-pink with yellow undertones. Illamasqua Ambition is slightly less pink, more subdued. Bobbi Brown Plum is similar but darker and has no shimmer (so it looks even darker). MAC Plum Foolery is bit more plum, less pink. Chanel Rose Temptation is significantly more plum. NARS Oasis is a smidgen darker and more plum with gold sparkle rather than shimmer. theBalm Cabana Boy is also a bit more plum than pink. It seems like the balance of pink and plum in this is what makes it just a little bit different from shades that seem similar.

Aiken attorney Thomas Woodruff Jr. has been charged with careless driving following a fatal collision on March 30 that resulted in the death of Aiken resident Lukisha Thomas, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
Woodruff was traveling on York Street when his car left the roadway, striking Thomas, 29, as she was walking on the sidewalk. Thomas was with her 2-year-old son and a man, Ray Charles Wooden Jr., at the time of the incident. Wooden was critically injured following the crash.
Thomas' 2-year-old son was taken to Aiken Regional Medical Centers, treated and released.
Investigating officers were able to rule out alcohol and drug impairment of Woodruff based on the observations of multiple officers reporting on the scene, police said.
According to a report police released to the media, officers also were able to rule out excessive speed as a contributing factor as well as the use of a cell phone.
According to the incident report, Woodruff told officers "something out of the driver's side of his vehicle caught his attention and distracted him." Woodruff then heard a "loud bump" and realized he had struck the pedestrians, the report stated.
After reviewing the available evidence in the case, Aiken Public Safety determined that the charge of careless driving was the most appropriate action currently available under state and local laws, according to the media release.
Lt. Karl Odenthal said after reviewing the evidence and the state's laws, a reckless driving or reckless vehicular homicide charge was not warranted since investigators found no evidence of criminal negligence by Woodruff.
During the investigation, he said, officers conducted a technical reconstruction of the collision. Officers examined evidence from the collision, analyzed data collected from the forensic mapping of the scene and interviewed several witnesses and the driver of the vehicle.
He noted that the typical penalty is a 30-day jail sentence or a fine ranging from $150 to $1,920.50, and that Woodruff is scheduled to appear in Magistrate's Court on May 6.
He added that Aiken Public Safety expresses their condolences to Thomas' family and hopes for a full and complete recovery for Wooden.
The careless driving ordinance states that it is unlawful for any person to operate a motor vehicle in a careless manner in disregard of the safety of persons or property upon any street, sidewalk, or public or private alley or parking area within the city.
The crash prompted the Aiken branch of the NAACP to hold a news conference in order to "make inquiry" in to the incident.
Phillip Howell, president of the organization's Aiken branch, said the news conference was called "to better understand the process and how it seems to be taking so long."
Thirteen days passed between the time of the incident and the news conference, which was held April 12.
Howell said Friday that the decision to charge Woodruff with careless driving was "unacceptable" and that he was "disappointed." He said he plans to meet with the Aiken NAACP's executive committee soon to formulate a plan and response.
A call to Woodruff was not returned by press time.

- Modulation of the stability of the Salmonella fourU-type RNA thermometer (2011)
- RNA thermometers are translational control elements that regulate the expression of bacterial heat shock and virulence genes. They fold into complex secondary structures that block translation at low temperatures. A temperature increase releases the ribosome binding site and thus permits translation initiation. In fourU-type RNA thermometers, the AGGA sequence of the SD region is paired with four consecutive uridines. We investigated the melting points of the wild-type and mutant sequences. It was decreased by 5°C when a stabilizing GC basepair was exchanged by an AU pair or increased by 11°C when an internal AG mismatch was converted to a GC pair, respectively. Stabilized or destabilized RNA structures are directly correlated with decreased or increased in vivo gene expression, respectively. Mg2+ also affected the melting point of the fourU thermometer. Variations of the Mg2+ concentration in the physiological range between 1 and 2 mM translated into a 2.8°C shift of the melting point. Thus, Mg2+ binding to the hairpin RNA is regulatory relevant. Applying three different NMR techniques, two Mg2+ binding sites were found in the hairpin structure. One of these binding sites could be identified as outer sphere binding site that is located within the fourU motif. Binding of the two Mg2+ ions exhibits a positive cooperativity with a Hill coefficient of 1.47. Free energy values delta G for Mg2+ binding determined by NMR are in agreement with data determined from CD measurements. Physiological Mg2+ concentrations reduce enthalpy and entropy values of uncorrelated base pair opening processes for almost all nucleobases.
- Direct observation of the temperature-induced melting process of the Salmonella fourU RNA thermometer at base-pair resolution (2010)
- In prokaryotes, RNA thermometers regulate a number of heat shock and virulence genes. These temperature sensitive RNA elements are usually located in the 5'-untranslated regions of the regulated genes. They repress translation initiation by base pairing to the Shine–Dalgarno sequence at low temperatures. We investigated the thermodynamic stability of the temperature labile hairpin 2 of the Salmonella fourU RNA thermometer over a broad temperature range and determined free energy, enthalpy and entropy values for the base-pair opening of individual nucleobases by measuring the temperature dependence of the imino proton exchange rates via NMR spectroscopy. Exchange rates were analyzed for the wild-type (wt) RNA and the A8C mutant. The wt RNA was found to be stabilized by the extraordinarily stable G14–C25 base pair. The mismatch base pair in the wt RNA thermometer (A8–G31) is responsible for the smaller cooperativity of the unfolding transition in the wt RNA. Enthalpy and entropy values for the base-pair opening events exhibit linear correlation for both RNAs. The slopes of these correlations coincide with the melting points of the RNAs determined by CD spectroscopy. RNA unfolding occurs at a temperature where all nucleobases have equal thermodynamic stabilities. Our results are in agreement with a consecutive zipper-type unfolding mechanism in which the stacking interaction is responsible for the observed cooperativity. Furthermore, remote effects of the A8C mutation affecting the stability of nucleobase G14 could be identified. According to our analysis we deduce that this effect is most probably transduced via the hydration shell of the RNA.

Dean's Column
I continue to be impressed by how well prepared our students are for their careers. Ninety-two percent of Arts & Sciences graduates are placed in a job or graduate school within six months of graduation, and eight departments experienced 100 percent placement in 2011.
Students who graduate with degrees in arts and humanities, social sciences and professional studies, and natural sciences all find that the skills and knowledge they gain at ONU translate into successful and satisfying careers. A distinctive feature of an Arts & Sciences education is our students' ability to combine interests, often making unique and creative connections across disciplines. English majors pursue careers in public service, law, arts administration, and many other fields. A commitment to theatre and the arts led Michael Roediger, BA '90, to his role as executive director of the Dayton Art Institute.
The combination of a strong foundation in the liberal arts, in-depth study in the major, and experiential learning provides our students with an excellent preparation for their personal and professional lives. ONU students have opportunities to apply and deepen knowledge through research, internships, community service, campus leadership, and clinical and field placements. At the spring 2012 Student Research Colloquium, more than 100 students shared the results of 76 projects. Many of these students also presented the results of their research at state and national conferences. ONU's student-run public relations firm, True North PR, provides a unique environment within which to integrate theory and practice, as do student-led publications like the award-winning creative writing magazine Polaris.
We continually update our curricula to ensure that students gain the skills and knowledge they need for the 21st century. Following on the recommendations of a University-wide program review last year, the Getty College of Arts & Sciences will undertake some exciting new initiatives in 2012-13. Programs in journalism, public relations, communications, and broadcasting and electronic media will be brought together in a new department, and the journalism and broadcasting curricula will be revamped to prepare students for careers in diverse and rapidly changing media. Other initiatives include public health and an accelerated degree program that will enable students to complete a Bachelor of Arts in sociology at ONU and a master's degree in social work at Case Western Reserve University in five years.
Strategic partnerships like those with Case Western or Bluffton University provide opportunities that significantly enhance our students' education, while contributing to the larger community. The pilot consortium in education, recently developed with Bluffton University, is an outstanding example. The collaborative has been highlighted across the state of Ohio as a model for other private colleges.

Its a feature that is waste of resources.
First phasing is all over the place now in the 1-60 game. Half the time my wife and I couldn't even see each other as we level because of phasing.
Two : The content is so mind numbing easy now what is the point?
Three: Just what wow needs more content that lets players be asses with zero accountability.
Blizzard really needs to get their new mmo out or bring back the A Team for Wow has been going down hill since they left.

I don't support phasing but i do believe in this.
How would you hold another player accountable on a 'classic server'? you would track them down if they did you wrong? Then what? its either going to escalate or he/she will get a name change.
So are we really talking about revenge here?
The old days are gone. This is the way they are going forward.

I have yet to run into any "serious" problems with the implementation of CRZ, the only people that seem to be complaining the loudest are the so called "PvPers" who actually have to PvP now, on a PvP server (Who woulda thunk it ?!? ) and people who don't want to compete with others to get their "precious" Time Lost Proto Drake. If anything CRZ is yet another fine example of "give people what they want, and they will complain anyway syndrome" with the Blizzard community.
I just finished up leveling my last alt before Pandaria hits and the entire time I was leveling in Storm Peaks it was nothing but whining and crying about how they will actually have to fight for their rare mounts and achievements now.....cry me a f**king river. CRZ solves what people have always complained about "dead zones with no players to fight or see" and now that they have it they continue to whine....please don't tell me any of us are actually shocked at this.
I play on a PvP server and I am absolutely overjoyed that I actually get a chance to fight against people again while doing dailies and leveling my toons. Before, I could have leveled all the way to 85 without a single enemy encounter, now I find myself looking over my shoulder everywhere I go and I haven't had to do that since the end of BC.
My response to people complaining about being ganked and having to "PvP" on a "PvP server" (obviously from people who joined PvP servers due to higher populations and not because of the PvP)
ITS TIME TO REROLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLl!!!!.

"A wise man has something to say, but a fool just has to say something."
I too find it strange that for years mmorpgs have been struggling with the issue of old top heavy games and how to get players back into old zones so new players or expansion pack players can feel some of that old magic/rush/excitement. Lo and behold Blizzard figures out a way to temp merge low pop zones for low level players with CRZ so they can experience what I did when I first started playing WoW and players are up in arms?!?
Really? Especially a PvP server where conflict was the whole reason for rolling on that type of server in the first place. Hmm it's like players don't remember the rush of 24 hour open world PvP we had back then with TM vs. SS. I will NEVER forget that experience as it was one of the truely greatest PvP experiences I had in WoW. So now that can happen yet again and people bitch? Sad....just sad.
And like others have stated, if you really are serious about making friends with others in the game why would you stop at a generic friend's list found in every other mmorpg? Why not commit and use your BattleTAG to stay in touch? Then you can do dungeon runs all the time together without a worry in the world and even play other BT games together.
You know currently I'm playing GW2 and they have this service called overflow servers where they pack players from different servers together when other players are logging in instead of having queues and I'm fine with that. Yes I understand that GW2 is structured around never partying up with fellow players for quest but what if I met someone on a overflow I rather enjoyed being in the company of? Oh that's right each play has a unique name attached so we can keep in contact even if we are from different servers...sounds familiar?

To the point: Levelling zones are not social hang outs, people are there to get what they need done and move on. Of all the places in the world to add crz for a "social" reason they add it to the levelling zones. Why not the cities? where people stop and chat.
In fact if you are going to do this why not just merge all servers into one massive lobby (which I would hate) the reason is business, they want people to pay to move servers but yet you are not on your actual world server you carefully chose most of the time.
Its an illusion and not a great fix.

For the minimal mere potential improvements they already deteriorate away the rest of what you could have called "community" in WoW even more. Otherwise any popular lobby shooter could claim itself a MMORPG community.
CRZ are increasing lag and performance issues.

It solves two important problems
1. World pvp on pvp servers - there was none, because most pvp are low population to begin with, but then you throw in the fact that almost everyone is at max level.. and that just means leveling zones were empty. This brings back pvp while leveling... people who roll on a pvp server should enjoy this
2. But the biggest reason is new players. If you are a new player, from 1-80 often times feels like playing SWTOR... only slightly joking.. the fact is it is very easy to go many hours without seeing another player out in the world. While, sure, maybe you don´t want to group with them, or have to group with them.. but it is still a ´good experience´ when you feel like the world is alive.
There are two major drawbacks ( besides a few bugs like fishing derby and Tol Borad which are being fixed)
1. World pvp on pvp servers - For the last several year, it has been ´understood´ that it is fairly easy to level on a pvp server without actually having to fight anyone. Despite the fact that they are pvp servers, players have been under the assumption that pvp really only happens in the upper zones (cata zones). This was even more abused by players who rolled on pvp servers that were dominated by one faction. A lot of pvp servers have 5 to 1 ratios.. so you could safely play a horde on a server and never really get ganked. With CRZ.. not only do you now have pvp the entire time you are leveling up.... but you also are much more likely to have balanced factions. While both things are FAIR.. they aren´t what players have been used to.
2. Crafting nodes and rare mobs - I play on a low population server.. one of the nice things is that while leveling, I always get the exp boosts from killing a ton of rare spawns. I also never worry about gathering professions because some zones have just crazy amount of herbs and ore. Most of the time, you can´t finish zones without quests going grey.. also, usually you have ´grey´ nodes. This is obviously not the way it was suppoed to work. Does it suck for me now that I don´t kill a rare spawn every 5 mins? sure. I do think some of the complaints are overblown though.. It really isn´t that hard to get mats to level crafting skills.
I think the big thing about the ´complaints vs fans´ comment is that the group of players that benefit the most from this ( new players seeing a world that feels alive) are the least likely type of players to post on the forums.
Once the bugs are worked out with Tol Borad and the fishing derby, this is really a non-issue... but I do pity the people who rolled on a pvp server expecting not to have to pvp... which is who I am seeing the most complaints from.

But I am sure you know 20 familes that are quitting today becausse of this..... sure...

I think with my heart and move with my head.-Kongos
There are always going to be small groups of people who complain loudly about any change to the system. There are always going to be people who want to play the game in a way that isn't what the majority is doing and isn't what the developers intended. Twinks are a good example of this. So are people who roll characters on very low population PvP servers, so they can have the server to themselves.
You have to keep in mind that with three or four million Western players, even a small group of complainers isn't really that small, they're just a small group compared to the whole player population.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.
I was thinking that about the Time Lost Drake. There was an entire thread of maybe 15 people who were outraged.. all I kept thinking ´is there really that many people who spend hours flying around Storm Peaks?´ . Really, spending hours, day after day, flying around a zone that has been obsolete for 2 years, looking for a mount that is very similar to 10 other mounts in the game...
Very much the minority.. very vocal.

I like the idea. I think people have just forgotten, or just wasn't there when the game first launched and for a couple of months after, alot of these same problems were around...In the starting areas you couldn't find a craft node to save your life, and on PvP servers ganking was insane...all of which, is what's happening again.
I started a human hunter and around level 8 or 9, I got invited by someone doing the same quest, within an hour we had a full group doing quests together in westfall :) It brings back the great memories of old :)

im slightly indifferent to the new CRZ's unlike OP I play on pvp server and have not noticed newb gankers joining forces to mess levlers over, in fact I just lvld a new char while waiting for mop without issue.
Im indifferent because I dont really care but I dont really see a positive to this feature for myself perhaps others but there are no more group quests and more people is just more poeple taking my kills dont really find a benefit but isnt a big issue so I dont really care what they do with it
CRZ is coming to Pandaria. 5 Servers of capped players at once trying to do dailies, they are launching it after the release of MOP.
I won't even comment I didnt like this in the first place especially for pve servers.

And for the absolute record, "Don't Come Back Yet" is not a command to stay away it is a warning to wait if you wish to read what I have to say.
Don't know why I bother replying sometimes.
People on pve realms are now being flagged for pvp.
The pictures below is what MOP dailies will be like soon. The second picture is where the current main daily quest area is.

Suicide Blast Kills 32 In Baghdad
Using an explosives packed car, a suicide bomber killed 32 people near a funeral possession in the predominantly Shiite neighborhood of Zafaraniyah in Baghdad.
The AP reports that about 65 people were wounded and most of the people killed were police escorting the funeral.
The AP reports:
"Salam Hussein, a 42-year-old grocery store owner in Zafaraniyah said he was watching the funeral procession, which was heavily guarded by police, when the blast blew out his store windows and injured one of his workers.
"'It was a huge explosion,' Hussein said. As he took his worker to the hospital, Hussein said he saw cars engulfed in flames, 'human flesh scattered around and several mutilated bodies in a pool of blood' around where the attacker's car had exploded.
As Al Jazeera reports this attack is part of an escalating sectarian violence since the U.S. pulled out its troops from Iraq. It comes a day after 17 people were killed in mostly Sunni areas across the country.
"Friday's attack brings the death toll from a wave of attacks since the beginning of the year to more than 200," reports Al Jazeera. "The attacks raise concerns that the surge in violence and an escalating political crisis might deteriorate into a civil war."

Star Trek fans will certainly like this. If you have a recent event in Google Calendar that contains "Star Trek", Google will automatically add a calendar titled "Stardates".
"Our team has been pretty excited about a certain movie premiering today. After yet another discussion of starships, phasers, and warp drives, we decided to put our enthusiasm to work and give Calendar a little boost. The result was the creation of a new calendar, pre-loaded with stardates to help you keep track of time in this universe and beyond," explains Google.
"A stardate is a means of specifying absolute dates in the fictional Star Trek universe. They are decimal numbers, usually rounded to a single decimal place, which replace absolute Gregorian calendar dates," according to Wikipedia.
To see the stardates calendar, create an event that includes "Star Trek" in the title and refresh Google Calendar. You should notice the new calendar in the left sidebar. Another way to take a look at the calendar is to sign out from Google and then visit Google Calendar's homepage.

How to tell if the shift key is lower case, Upper Case, or CAPS LOCK in iOS 7.1
One of the more subtle yet potentially frustrating changes in iOS 7.1 is how the state of the shift key is displayed. Not only isn't it intuitively obvious which state the shift key is in — lowercase, Upper Case, or CAPS LOCK — but it can be downright counter-intuitive to the point that you find yourself uncertain and guessing wrong more often than not. Granted, it could be a lot worse but it could also be a lot better. If you've installed iOS 7.1 and you're having trouble figuring out the shift key on your iPhone or iPad, here's a quick reference. (Share it with your friends. All your friends.)
How to tell lower case, Upper Case, and CAPS LOCK mode on iOS 7.1
- If the background is dark gray and the arrow is white, you're in lower case mode.
- If the background is white and the arrow is black, you're in Upper case mode.
- If the background is white and the arrow is dark, and there's a horizontal line beneath the arrow, you're in ALL CAPS mode.
I've been using iOS 7.1 since the first day of the first beta and while the implementation has changed considerably once and a while I still glance at it and can't remember immediately which state I'm in. Once you've had a chance to use iOS 7.1 a while let me know — how do you find the shift key?

How to tell if the shift key is lower case, Upper Case, or CAPS LOCK in iOS 7.1
looks like the "F" key may be troublesome for you as well. ;-D
The shift key doesn't bother me nearly as much as the darkness of the dock background. Not a fan of the change.

You mean you want the ability to customize the look of your phone?!?! That's such an anti-Apple statement! Don't worry, Apple knows what you REALLY want, and they've given it to you. If you want to customize, just go get one of those Android phones already...
Thank you for this.
The reasoning behind this change escapes me. The previous behaviour was perfectly adequate and all this will do is frustrate users.
Change is good! Thanks for the tip, this will go a long way.

I'm still not sure why Apple doesn't have the keys simply change to the state they are in. Display lower case letters on the keyboard and when you press shift they change to CAPS. This works well on just about very other OS I've used.
exactly, this is something that bothers me a lot, as i use both, android and iOS, it seems like changing the actual keys to upper or lower case on android was something i took for granted and when i got my first iOS device, the iPad Air, it hit me how weird it feels soft keyboard not changing cases...i hope someday they implement that
That makes great sense! Of course, at the same time, it occurs to me, that the physical keyboards on our laptops or desktops don't change--and the letters on the keyboards are all caps. Still, I like the idea.
Now, as to Rene's question:
"Once you've had a chance to use iOS 7.1 a while let me know — how do you find the shift key?"
Well, it's right beside the Z key, where it's always been! :-)
Sorry, Rene, I couldn't resist!
100% agreed, perhaps it could be an option from the Settings, if Apple has some obscure design reason to default it to all uppercase keyheads. btw the new shift key is horrible, and the previous blue caps lock was ways better IMHO
I think the lower case should have been like upper case in 7.1 with it being black arrow on white background, upeer case would be white arrow on black background, and caps lock with the bar underneath.
How do you enable caps lock in the first place? I thought it was a quick double tap but that doesn't do anything on my 5s.
Yup, quick double-tap it is. Try a few different timings, you'll get it!
I'm not getting it to engage…tried fast and slower double taps but no luck. I'll keep at it and maybe I'll figure it out. Thanks Rene.
That was it…didn't realize there was a preference setting for it and couldn't figure out why the iPad Air and Mini Retina both worked but not the 5s.
I thought the same thing. It's a shift key, not rocket science.
I can't get the update on my iPad 4. It just keeps saying that it's searching for a update. Before that it said it couldn't get a update. :(
I had seen leaks about this and figured it couldn't be as off as people had been saying.
I was wrong.
Posted via the Android iMore App!
Do you all not use auto-caps, or something? Do you check the shift key with each word you type? Geeez... it's not that difficult.
The new SHIFT key change is MUCH, I repeat MUCH better than the old way. I don't know what you guys are whining about, but it is way easier to tell if you are in upper vs. lower, and caps lock. The scheme before was extremely annoying, and it was hard to tell which you were in then. Now, it is cake :)
It took some brain power for me to get used to it. UI should not make you think. I especially got tripped up when this happened:
With the keyboard using black characters on white, the caps key is enabled when the arrow is black. On a "dark keyboard" like searching in the YouTube app, the characters are white and the caps key is enabled when the arrow is black, so a bit reversed from the other keyboard color scheme.
Just have to remember he caps key arrow is enabled when it is black.
Well, noticed the caps key right away after updating today to iOS 7.1 and already sent in a enhancement request to Apple. I have no problem with distinguishing the caps lock but the toggle seems backwards to me. When it's white like the letters I think off and when it's gray I think on. Oh well, I'll get used to it. Looks like I'm not only one that thinks it's confusing.
Now let's talk about iTunes 11 search and iOS 7.2 removing the ability to organize albums under artist by date.

Benha Faculty of Medicine,is considered ninth in terms of the history of its inception &has made strides college age outweigh its inception in all areas evolving to keep pace with the modern era.
I figure if I'm typing in lower-case, the caps key is off. I figure that if I touch it once, the next character will be capitalized.
In the immortal words of Tony Shaloub in Galaxy Quest, "Seems ok to me."
I'm honestly not sure where the confusion lies. People may not like the design, but it hasn't caused me any issues. What I am really curious about is why the keyboard letters don't shift along with the shift key. That would go a long way to eliminating any questions of state during usage.
Call me crazy but it's correct now. When the key matches delete/return/123/and alt keyboard background gray and the arrow is white (not matching letters on the keys which are black) it's lowercase. When the arrow matches the white background and black of the keys themselves it's uppercase.
I still find it funny that seemingly endless little changes to the shift key are preferable to just making the keys change case and moving on to something less stupid.
I've worked out a possible reasoning, not that I agree with it but...
- If the shift key is the same colour as the keyboard keys (which depict capital letters on a white background), then you'll be typing capital letters
- If the shift key is grey, then you won't.
I've seen the underlined arrow on other phone OS's (A Sagem MyC5-2v and I think my LG TU-500 too)
