Coming up
The Colorado State softball program opens the 2013 season at the Red Desert Classic in St. George, Utah. The Rams will play five games in three days, matching up against a pair former Mountain West foe BYU, as well as future league member Utah State. The Rams will also face Loyola Marymount, Arkansas and Oklahoma State as part of the season-opening tournament.
Building on 2012 success
The Colorado State softball program enters the 2013 season poised to build on the success of the 2012 campaign. The Rams posted a 29-22 record last season, a 21-game improvement in the win column from Head Coach Jen Fisher's first season (8-43 in 2011). The team, which returns 14 letterwinners and nine out of 10 starters and added a talented group of seven newcomers that, went 8-4 in the Mountain West, tying for second in the league standings.
Rams second in MW Preseason Poll
The Colorado State softball program was picked to finish second in the Mountain West standings in the leagues' preseason coaches poll release on Feb. 5. The Rams were one of three teams to receive a first-place vote, joining preseason favorite San Diego State and Boise State, who was picked to finish fourth. Below is a look at the MW preseason projections:
Rank Team (first-place votes) Points
1. San Diego State (5) 35
2. Colorado State (1) 28
3. Fresno State 26
4. Boise State (1) 23
5. New Mexico 15
7. Nevada 8
Returning all-conference performers
The Rams return four all-Mountain West performers from 2012, including conference Pitcher of the Year senior Kacie McCarthy. Also returning after all-league seasons are a trio of juniors in third baseman Chelsea Biglow, shortstop Ashlie Ortega and catcher Emily Pohl. In addition to the player honors, Rams' head coach Jen Fisher was also named MW Coach of the Year in 2012.
Streaking Rams
The Colorado State softball team opens play this week at the Red Desert Classic looking to carry over the momentum built by a strong finish to the 2012 season. The Rams closed the 2012 campaign with seven consecutive wins and victories in 10 of their last 11 month of the season.
Rams in the MW rankings
Several of Colorado State's retuning players ranked among the Mountain West's best in 2012:
• Ashlie Ortega placed into five categories: Second in at bats (185), tied for second with 107 assists, third in plate appearances (207), fifth in hits (66) and fifth in doubles (12).
• Kacie McCarthy placed into five categories: first for number of batters struck out looking (49), second for number of wins (17), third for opposing batting average (.247), fifth in innings pitched (151.2) and fifth in batters struck out (105).
• Alysa Greckel placed into four categories: tied for third for number of doubles (14), fourth for number of walks (26), fourth for number of chances (349), and fourth for number of putouts (334).
• Emily Pohl placed into two categories: first in walks (41), and third with 11 players caught stealing.
• Chelsea Biglow placed into one category, earning fourth for number of runs batted in (45).
• Kendal Butterfield placed into one category, tying fourth with seven sacrifice bunts.
Tough competition
The 2013 Colorado State softball team will face one of the toughest schedules in recent program history. The Rams will face off against eight teams receiving votes in the NFCA and USA Softball top-25 polls. Three teams on the Rams' schedule are ranked in the top-17 in the preseason rankings, as CSU is slated to match up against No. 9/8 Georgia (Feb. 21 at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic), No. 16/16 Washington (March 3 in the Colorado State Classic) and No. 17/17 Texas A&M (April 5-7 in a three-game series in College Station, Texas). The Rams open the season at the Red Desert Classic against a pair of teams - BYU and Oklahoma State - that are receiving votes in the rankings. Texas Tech (Feb. 15 at the Troy Cox Classic), Oregon State (Feb. 21 at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic), and UMass (March 16 at the San Diego Classic II) are also receiving preseason top-25 votes.
Returning production
The 2013 Colorado State Rams return a majority of the team's offensive and pitching production, having lost just two seniors - outfielder Lyssa Roberts and pitcher Kelli Eubanks - to graduation. Offensively, the Rams return 90 percent of their runs, 88 percent of their hits, 91 percent of the team's doubles, 89 percent of triples, 95 percent of home runs and 94 percent of RBIs from last season. In the circle, the Rams bring back 89 percent of their wins and 81 percent of their strikeouts.
Rams in the national rankings
The 2012 Rams ranked among the national leaders in a number of categories, placing in the top 50 in the nation in five team categories: Doubles per game (24th, 1.37), runs per game (29th, 5.64), batting average (38th, .294) and slugging percentage (44th, .438). Individually, four Rams ranked in the top 100 nationally. Emily Pohl was 12th in the NCAA in walks per game (0.82), Alysa Greckel came in at 47 in doubles per game (0.28), Chelsea Biglow was rated 57th in RBI per game (0.88) and Shae Rodriguez was just behind Biglow with 0.8 runs batted in per contest.
Rams vs. the tournament field
The Rams will play five games in three days this weekend against BYU, Loyola Marymount, Arkansas, Utah State and Oklahoma State. Here is a look at the Rams' competition:
• BYU posted a 45-15 record in 2012 and returns 14 letterwinners, including six starters in 2013. The Cougars were picked to finish first in the Pacific Coast Softball Conference presesaon poll.
• Loyola Marymount notched a 32-21 record in 2012 and returns 13 letterwinners, including 10 starters in 2013. The Lions were picked to finish second in the Pacific Coast Softball Conference presesaon poll. • Arkansas went 29-28 on the diamond in 2012 and returns 15 letterwinners in 2013. The Razorbacks posted a 7-21 record and finished in the SEC last season and were picked to finish fourth in the league's Western Division.
• Utah State posted a 17-36 record in 2012 and returns eight starters in 2013. The Aggies were picked to finish sixth in their final season in the Western Athletic Conference before joining the Mountain West in 2014.
• Oklahoma State finished the 2012 campaign with a 25-26 record and returns 12 letterwinners, including eight starters in 2013. The Cowboys were picked to finish fifth in the Big 12 presesaon poll.
Up next
The Rams return to the diamond Feb. 15-17 for five games in three days at the Troy Cox Classic, hosted by New Mexico State, in Las Cruces, N.M. The Rams will face Penn State, Texas Tech, New Mexico State (twice) and UMKC.

Milla Jovovich Lands at LAX
Bringing an end to her family getaway, Milla Jovovich showed up at LAX International Airport last night (January 7).
Joined by her husband Paul W.S. Anderson and their daughter Ever, the "Resident Evil" starlet seemed a bit stressed as she navigated her way past paparazzi and exited the terminal.
Milla and her crew spent the New Year's holiday in Maui, Hawaii where they took full advantage of the beautiful weather and gorgeous scenery.
And now that she's back on the mainland, Ms. Jovovich will likely continue work on her new musical project. Last month she tweeted, "Getting a visit from @chrissbrenner to put down some keys and harmonies."

Wild Ringneck Pheasants over a flushing spaniel.
Sage rats in eastern Oregon. Six of us once spent 5 hours in a field and slayed them. .22 and .17s the calibers of choice.
Wild Ringneck Pheasants over a flushing spaniel.
This is not a fair question. Ok, what ever season is open!
Doves, Quail, Chukars, Huns, Pheasants, Sharptails, Turkeys, Antelope, Mule Deer, Whitetails, Elk, pigs, bear, (what did I leave off?), coyotes, ducks, geese, 39 days of upland bird season left here in Big Sky Country. Then I can go to Nevada, Oregon or Utah for Chukars. Oh I could go on.....
I got laid off 6 weeks ago after 21 and 1/2 years. I am trying to catch up on all the missed hunting opportunities.
Whitetail deer if I had to choose one, but I have spent many an hour squirrel hunting and I enjoy that as well.
whitetail in bama. would like to get a moose while im up here in alaska.
Elk but I don't get to go very often
Whitetail up in Wisconsin....archery only!!! I took a buck in 2002 that made the national Boone & Crocket record book. For those of you who are looking at me crosseyed....yes you can take a deer with a bow and make the gun record book. The animal must score high enough though. I will try to posts pics.
A close second is pheasant in South Dakota. A total blast!!!
Any type of wing shooting. Mostly waterfowl with some upland mixed in a couple weeks out of the year.
Rocky Mtn Elk and White Tail or Black tail deer for me in that order. Bear and Cougar sounds interesting but I'm not partial to shooting anything I'm not interested in eating. That hog and wild boar hunting sounds fun. Wish we had those here in Oregon.
When I used to hunt it had to be dove hunting. We would hunt the county farms and the doves were flying all day. I've seen guys shoot half a case of shells in one outing. Fast action all afternoon you could shoot all afternoon, if you hadn't gotten your limit.
I only hunt one now, wild boar.
For me here in Pa. it has to be the whitetail deer , with the coyote a very close second.
Elk is #1 and Exotics are close behind. More money Sheep and Moose wouldn't be bad.
Whitetail deer, turkey, squirrel and rabbit. Mostly squirrel and deer. Actually, tomorrow is opening morn so you all won't hear from me for a few days. This is my vacation.
I took a little doe last year (fit perfect quartered on a smoker). The year before, I shot my first "true" buck (8 point).
Dove, nowadays.
I used to love duck hunting, when I was fit enough to put on a pair of chest waders and hike into the remote sloughs and natural lakes where they roosted. But these days, dove hunting provides the most action with the least amount of effort, and my family loves to eat them.
If I was doing it for meat, it'd be whitetail deer.
If I didnt NEED meat, it'd be squirrel/rabbit. I like turkey hunting, especially since I saw one while rabbit hunting.
Oh gosh man definitely turkey.Of course,for lack of turkeys in Atlanta,i do get the urge to hunt chickens...

Quantum reprogramming of Body Mind and Spirit
Hi there, I'm Hemant Gupta, and I will be your guide to help you bring about a positive, wonderful, hopefully life long change in your body mind and spirit using a set of powerful techniques that I call "Quantum Reprogramming" of body mind and spirit. These techniques will allow you to connect with the basic core of your being and deprogram undesirable habits, limiting beliefs that are inhibiting your success and well being and reprogram your self from the core into new habits programs that will bring you success, joy and prosperity.
First let me explain to you "Why do we need to reprogram our body, mind and spirit?"
The simple answer is that we are not perfect, neither as individuals nor as a society. As a result we are often in poor physical and emotional health, don't have enough money and stuck in unproductive, unfulfilling jobs and relationships. Our dreams are on hold and more often than not we are frustrated, angry, sick, in-pain and complaining about unfulfilled desires.
As life happens to most of us, we make choices and end up with habits, behaviors, physical, mental or even medical conditions that we rather would not have. In her last episode, Opera Winfrey shared with her viewers the extract of her wisdom after interviewing thousands of guests in her show for 25 years. She said that one thread common among all of them was the programming of "lack of worthiness for their own selves". Many such programs occupy space in our rational and emotional mind. Most of us know once our body, mind and spirit is programmed into certain habitual routines, they are hard to break into. Conditions such as overweight, smoking, work-holism, stress, diabetes, hypertension, cancer and many more result or at least exaggerated from such chronic habits.
Our body along with our mind and spirit is like a car. If it is going to run, once in a while it requires a tune-up, an emotional tune-up. A tune-up so it can run with more energy, enthusiasm, passion and living spirit. Don't we all need that from time to time? And, sometimes we need a complete overhaul or a NEW US.
In this audio course, I would share some powerful techniques with you that will allow you to do just that. You would be able to deprogram your bad or obsolete habits that you would rather not have and reprogram you with better habits that you would love to embrace. It has taken me almost 30 years to develop and understand these techniques. Some of these techniques are so powerful and have capabilities to take humans to all the way to the ultimate wisdom or even enlightenment. While reaching enlightenment is not every one's goal, but almost everyone can use these techniques to distress, deprogram our body, mind and spirit and make it ready for programming at a deeper level for some desirable outcome. Like the programming done to us in our childhood, the programming at the deep quantum level is lasting, effective and efficient.
Let me start out by telling you a little bit about my background. I was born in a small city in India. As a kid, I was very curious and studied pretty much most of the time. While most kids of my age were having fun, I would often be studying. I did not really mind it, I was passionate about knowledge. It allowed me to get good grades and admission in prestigious universities. I came to United States to pursue higher education. My passion to gain knowledge continued to serve me well in schools and I got many degrees like Masters, PhD and MBA. Etc.
After education I accepted positions in the field of applied research. I still continue to pursue product research and development as career. I am currently a VP of research and development at a major corporation and recently celebrated my 15 years with the company.
As I progressed through corporate ranks early on in my carrier, without a doubt, I was getting materially successful and financially very comfortable--- but I found myself unhappy, dissatisfied and wanting even more.
To get more, I worked even harder. My body was starting to show sign of fatigue. Chronic unhappiness had found root in my psyche. I was constantly sick and on medications.
I was in such poor emotional state that I even considered suicide, many times. Not much made sense. My formulae, for what appeared as success in life, were not working. My inner conflict was at paramount. I was in search for meaning of this existence, meaning of myself. Being a science person, I thought I will find answers in science, but decades of search in the scientific literature could not take me closer to any meaningful answers.
By chance, I was introduced to a spiritual master from India known by the name Maharajji, by his followers. The "self-knowledge," was the culmination of Maharaji's teachings. I joined the list of aspirant to receive this knowledge. After a year or so of listening to his discourses, I was given the gift of self-knowledge. Essentially, what I learnt from Maharajji were the techniques to access my inner self.
There is no doubt that just the process of receiving and practicing techniques of self-knowledge did what years of medicine could not do. I started to get better. I reduced my medicine intake significantly and was well on my way to be medicine free.
Unfortunately, I made what I would call as perhaps the worst student of Majaraji. My quest to connect my scientific knowledge to ultimate meaning was so intense that I continued my search, now following Osho, another spiritual master from India. This state of bliss or enlightenment was the principal promise of both Maharaji and Osho's teachings. As I heard hundreds, if not thousands, of discourses from Bhagwan Osho and practiced these techniques my clarity to achieve a state of bliss by the human body had intensified. My mind was receptive to achieving the bliss state of being.
My search, however, continued, as I attempted to combine what I had started calling as "the science of bliss" to my scientific background. I was intrigued by the power of the silence, amazing anchor or the core that existed at the root of all beings. It was almost like turning off the computer and suddenly the computer could be reset. It happened with me. I was able to reset my computer (almost reset!!) several times and remove programs that caused so much pain in my being. I was also able to reprogram myself with some default programs or some desired programs according to my needs. It was truly amazing. Such a power full technology, what could be the root it all? How could all humans experience this power within them selves? I was becoming fascinated by the nature and the mystery of silence which appeared to possess most of these amazing characteristics. I was also learning a lot about my true nature. It was becoming clear to me that my-self had two distinct natures, both very real. One catered for my own self-interest, and the other was selfless or catered for others interest.
What could lead to such opposite nature of self-residing in one body? My search led me to answers, from a surprising source. The answer came from a new, emerging science of quantum information processing that has a potential to combine all science, mysticism, and religion. It provided a clue to explain the dual nature of self as well a new perspective towards the universe we live in. I was truly inspired by all it had to offer; especially I was mesmerized by the concept and nature of quantum bit or quantum information. As I connected decades of my scientific research with spiritual wisdom I had attained, I found myself well on path to write my first book.
It was "Road to Digital Divine". Since this newer understanding rests on digital and informational nature of being and has divine-like qualities, I referred to this as "digital divine." Writing a book was really not my goal. I was after relief, may be some joy or perhaps bliss.
Connecting the informational and computational nature of our universe with latest science of mind and matter and spirituality, I put forth a new concept of our self, the quantum self deeply rooted in the informational nature of our being. As I deepened my mental and experiential knowledge of this self, I realized an amazing law of nature. It is like the ultimate formula to be joyful.
As I understood my true quantum nature and acted accordingly, I was filled with joy pouring from deep within. It became central theme and titles of my second book called "Joy from Deep Within", nature of your true quantum self.
What I realized was the quantum self was extremely open to programming, deprogramming or reprogramming. Of course, to be able to do this programming, one will have to access to what I call as "quantum command center". Why a command center? There are many reasons. First because, it is the same center as ancient aurvedic masters have called "Agya Chakra" that means in English a "Command center". It is one of the most powerful chakras there is. It is an ancient belief that when a practitioner arrives at the core of this center, the whole existence is in his command. I personally would not believe such claims, our goal should be to arrive there for ourselves and see, and know for ourselves if we receive any such powers. Second, because, just like the name suggests, one could program by giving commands to this center. The process is very much like when we were young, any suggestion from our parents or teachers or even friends could become a command, the same is true with your state in this mode. It is truly open for programming or re-programming. The doubt or the judgment disappears. One could program oneself in this mode in a wide variety of manner. For example if you needed to loose weight, you could program yourself to do so. I in fact lost 30 pounds in less than 3 months. If you wanted to learn a new skill, or want to develop a new habit because you want to be successful, you could do that following the programming techniques. I will get into these at a detailed level later in this course.
Another important realization that has a lot of practical value is that just as you can command to reprogram yourself, you can command to erase the limiting or dysfunctional beliefs or fine tuning your already existing programming. As you learn to access your quantum command center, you would realize that you have that power. In order to reach that quantum core of your being, your binary mind becomes very open for change or alterations or you may say deprogramming. In fact without learning to deprogram certain characteristics of the binary self one can't reach the quantum core. So one can truly manage this process and selectively deprogram the undesired programming that has already taken place in your being.
Before we jump into the practical matter, I would like to explain to you some basics that are essential to make these techniques work for you. The first is your own understanding or you may say perspective towards yourself and your place in this universe. Why is this critical? It is because a clear and precise understanding will provide you a firm footing for the process of deprogramming and reprogramming that you desire to bring in your being. How can you get the understanding? Of course, it would greatly help for you to read the two books. But you really don't have to. For many, the content may be too technical. So in the next two CDs or modules, I would teach you the pertinent information from these books that you should know to make these techniques work for you. You should listen to these modules as many times as needed to grasp the underlying concepts. Since these are very powerful life altering experiences, I would suggest you to give yourself plenty of time so you can mentally and experientially grasp the concepts. You will realize that unlike many self help program which promise to bring about behavioral changes instantly or by the touch of a button, I can tell you that this program is not about that instant change or gratification. Instead, it will help you chart out your own path for incredible emotional well being. You will create your own time table. There is no hurry as the results are permanent and the know-how will last you for a life time and you can repeatedly use it and benefit from the teachings and the wisdom. The next 2 CDs (module 2 and module 3) can be heard anywhere you like. While walking, in the car or in the plane, simply hear the content as many times as you can. If you cannot understand everything do not worry, just move on. You may realize that certain pertinent content are repeated; it is done intentionally so some of that understanding can eventually be programmed in your mind. The exercises in these modules should not be listened to while driving a car, walking or in a noisy environment where your focus is distributed. Please find a quite place where you can sit in a comfortable posture and preferably left undisturbed for the duration of the module to enable programming of the mind at the quantum level.
Before you are trained to use the concepts of programming your own self at the quantum level, you must understand several key concepts. The most critical one is the meaning of the word "quantum" itself. I know, today quantum has become a buzz word and many marketers use it in a sense that simply promotes a product or service. In order to embrace true nature of quantum programming, you have to be comfortable with this word and its real meaning. In order to understand the true meaning, I will have to take you on a journey that may sounds like a physics or science lesson. Now some of you may have absolutely hated physics in the past, and may have bad memories from the past. However, I promise that it is not about physics. It is about you and your world. If you show a little patience, even deeper concepts will start becoming clear to you. In reality to benefit from these techniques you really, do not need any background in quantum physics or mathematics or advance science. You just need to allow yourself to understand more about your-self and the world you are a part of. I would be your guide every step of the way. Good Luck and let us get going.

In response to a Huffington Post guide on new wedding etiquette and traditions that can be broken, Broken Promises Coalition releases a statement focusing on one tradition that should never break.
Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) July 23, 2012
On July 23, 2012, the Broken Promises Coalition released a statement following a Huffington Post article in response to traditional wedding etiquette that's now acceptable to break, leading the Coalition to comment on the one tradition that should never break.
According to the Huffington Post, there are ten wedding traditions and rules of etiquette that can now be broken as times change. These traditions include not asking for money instead of a gift, providing every guest over the age of 18 with a +1 invite, and brides needing to wear white. The article states that these traditions and rules, among others, are now able to be broken.
"Times change, and rules and standards must be flexible to a certain degree, that much is true. But the Broken Promises Coalition believes that the one tradition that should never be broken is the sentimental and symbolic value placed on wedding rings," states Clay Darrohn, Broken Promises representative. "While some rules can be broken, we never want to hear about a couple who have taken their vows with a ring, only to have that ring break. That's why we're imploring manufacturers and distributors of tungsten carbide bridal jewelry to disclose information about their products and asking the bridal jewelry industry as a whole to hold themselves to a higher standard."
Tungsten carbide is a brittle compound that, when fatigued from daily use, can break or shatter – a fact that most brides and grooms are unaware of. Broken Promises believes that the public has a right to know this information before they even consider purchasing a tungsten ring. This is done with the hope that the newlyweds can carry with them for their entire lives the same rings that they have had blessed and used to exchange vows.
The Broken Promises Coalition is currently sponsoring a petition that will demand that retailers be upfront regarding the truth about tungsten carbide. For all consumers who believe that love, vows, promises, and the rings that represent them should last a lifetime, this petition is available through the Broken Promises Facebook page.
Broken Promises is a grassroots consumer advocacy group dedicated to raising awareness about misleading information regarding tungsten carbide wedding rings. Started in April of 2012, Broken Promises is a group of concerned consumers dedicated to sharing information about the brittle nature of tungsten rings to brides and grooms to-be.

THIS TUTORIAL IS FOR i9000 HANDSETS ONLY. (That means 1st generation Galaxy S, NOT GALAXY S2, NOT GALAXY VIBRANT, NOT GALAXY ACE etc...)
This tutorial is in response to a number of requests about upgrading to FroYo (Android 2.2) from Eclair (Android 2.1) using Odin. Using this method will flash a standard FroYo installation to your phone, devoid of any bloatware that is added by network providers.
As I am based in the UK, this tutorial is really for UK users. However, the same version of FroYo is being released all around Europe with the exception of the Nordic regions ( Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, The Faroe Islands, Greenland, Svalbard and Åland). If you are from the Nordic area then you should be aiming for a JPA firmware, but the principle is the same. Note also, that you should be on JM1, JM2, JG1, JF1 etc... to use this tutorial. If you are on JPA or JPM firmware already then check out my OTHER THREAD HERE. Find your existing firmware version by dialing *#1234# on your phone, and looking at the PDA version. While you are looking at that screen, check that you have valid values for all three areas. If any of them (PDA, PHONE or CSC) start with anything other than "I9000" or have the word "unknown" in them then there is a very high chance you will have some sort of trouble with this flash.
Update : It has been confirmed by MariosX that the Greek language for text input isn't supported by the CSC file included with this tutorial. The locale option is there (you can have your menus and options in Greek) but actual text input support isn't included.
Bootloader - Flashing this firmware won't touch the bootloader part of your existing firmware. This is intentional. The bootloader is where the code sits that allows recovery mode/download mode to work the way it does. If your Recovery Mode doesn't work now, it won't work after flashing this ROM, there is a separate guide available for sorting that out
OK, first some disclaimers...
Flashing firmware using any method (even Kies) always contains a slight inherent risk and I, nor anyone on this forum can or will be held responsible if things go wrong. By following this - or any of my tutorials - you are agreeing to this. Having said that, the only incident I have heard of when something went wrong is when the guy unplugged the USB cable mid-flash - go figure
By installing this firmware there is a very good chance that you are invalidating any warranty you have on your phone, whether it be on a contract or bought outright. While firmware flashing is by no means illegal, Samsung don't really like us doing it, and the network providers sure as hell don't. But if they weren't so slow at dishing out updates and didn't fill them with bloatware we wouldn't do it, right ?
Finally, I highly recommend you do some research on Rooting, grab an app that can access files on your phone at the Root level, and backup the /efs folder and all its contents. This contains important data that is unique to your phone and it will be invaluable should things go horrendously wrong. While this isn't an essential step in this guide, I really want you to back that folder up first unless you like to live life on the edge.
OK, so that's all the pseudo-legal crap out of the way, now onto the 2 golden rules of firmware flashing..
1) If you can't use the 3-button boot to get to recovery mode, don't do this. Seriously. Recovery mode will save your ass if you bugger something up. I will explain how to get to recovery mode in a sec...
2) If you have applied a "lagfix" - no matter which one it is - remove it before doing this. Lagfixes alter the file system. If you flash a new firmware that is expecting to see 'File system A' and you've changed it to 'File system B' then all hell can break loose. Remove the lagfix before flashing. You have been warned!
Another important tip - make sure your battery is charged to above 75% before doing the flash, even higher if possible.
This flash requires that you have working windows Android drivers installed. Basically, if you can use your PC to browse your phone, or if Kies works for you, you should be fine.
Checking if you can get to recovery mode using the 3-button boot combination.
Turn off your phone and give it time to shut down completely. Now hold the Volume Up button as well as the Home button and then the Power button. As soon as you see the White "I9000" logo, release the Power button but keep the other two held in. When you see some coloured text start to scroll up the screen, release all the buttons. You can move up and down through the options using the Volume Up and Down buttons, and using the Home button to select your chosen option. For now, just choose "reboot system". This will restart your phone.
If you can't get into recovery mode this way, don't attempt this flash. There is a chance that you won't need recovery mode, but I STRONGLY advise not taking the risk. If you think flashing this new firmware will make your recovery mode start working - it won't. As stated earlier, this flash won't touch the bootloader. If you want to get your 3 button recovery mode working, CHECK OUT THIS THREAD.
OK, pre-requisites. You will need to download a number of files before you start. It's best to get them all downloaded and uncompressed and ready to use before you actually need them, so here goes...
GRAB WINRAR FROM HERE - You will need to grab this and install it before you carry on. That link will get you the demo version but it will be fine for what we are doing here.
GRAB ODIN FROM HERE - This is the program you will use to actually flash the firmware onto your phone. If you have installed WinRAR properly from the previous step, you should be able to double click on the downloaded file to uncompress it. It should contain Odin, a configuration file, and a pit file called "s1_odin_20100803.pit". There is no need to install Odin like you did with WinRar, it is a standalone program.
OK, next up you will need another pit file, GRAB THIS FROM HERE. This one will be called "s1_odin_20100512.pit".
OK, next you will need some firmware files, two lots in fact. I will explain why later, but for now, just download them...
GRAB THE JM8 FIRMWARE HERE. When you have downloaded it, uncompress it and save it somewhere safe. The file will be encrypted, the password is "samfirmware.com". This will uncompress into 2 seperate files, one called "CODE_I9000XWJM8.tar" and the other called "MODEM_I9000XXJM4.tar".
Now GRAB THE JPO CODE AND MODEM FIRMWARE HERE and then GRAB THE JPO CSC FIRMWARE HERE.
Uncompress those two files and they should give you the following three files (yes three, again one of those expands into two when you uncompress it)...
OK checklist time. You should have all this stuff downloaded, uncompressed and ready to use...
- Odin3 v1.3
- s1_odin_20100803.pit
- s1_odin_20100512.pit
- CODE_I9000XWJM8.tar
- MODEM_I9000XXJM4.tar
- CODE_I9000XXJPO.tar
- CSC_I9000OXAJPO.tar
- MODEM_I9000XXJPP.tar
Now you might have been wondering why you needed the Eclair JM8 firmware if you want to flash FroYo JPO on to your phone. Well Kies formats certain things within the hardware of the phone as it flashes a new firmware. Odin can't do that, so we need to flash to JM8 first, in order to prepare it for the JPO firmware. It sounds dodgy, but trust me you don't want to flash JPO straight on top of a JM1 (or any other) firmware.
So, onto the flashing
Turn your phone off now, and unplug it from the USB cable. It might be wise to remove your SIM card and external SD card now. This isn't essential but it can't hurt
Right-click on the Odin file and choose "Run as Administrator". This will start up Odin. Now we need to add some files, and set some stuff up. First, make sure there are ticks in the "Re-partition", "Auto Reboot" and "F.Reset Time" boxes. Do NOT tick "Dump" , "Phone EFS Clear" or "Phone Bootloader Update" - very important.
Now click on the PIT button and a browse dialogue will open. Navigate to the area you stored all your downloaded stuff from earlier and select the "s1_odin_20100512.pit" file.
Now click the PDA button and select the "CODE_I9000XWJM8.tar" file from earlier.
Now click the PHONE button and select the "MODEM_I9000XXJM4.tar" file.
Now you need to start your phone in download mode. To do this press and hold the VOLUME DOWN, HOME and POWER buttons together, and you should see the picture of the Android on a yellow triangle with the message ""Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!" below it. Now plug the phone into the USB cable, and Odin should assign it a comms port which will be highlighted in yellow. It won't matter which port it is, as long as it assigns it one. If it doesn't, then you have a problem with your windows drivers and you cannot continue. You will need to remove the battery from your phone to get out of download mode.
So if everything went to plan, your Odin screen should look just like this (maybe with a different port in Yellow)...
Make sure all the ticked boxes match the ones in that image.
Take a big gulp of air, hold your breath and click the start button
As the flash happens, you will see a Green progress bar making it's way across the screen in Odin. At the same time, a Blue progress bar will be showing on your phone. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU DON'T DISTURB THIS PROCESS. Do not unplug the phone, press any buttons, touch the PC, don't do anything. Don't even fart.
OK, hopefully the flash has completed without issue and the phone has rebooted*. Odin says "PASS!" and you can breath again (and let out any other bodily gasses)
*NOTE: some people are reporting an error on bootup which looks something like this: "E: can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (invalid argument)". Now this happens for some people, and not for others. It's to do with partitioning and the missing CSC file from the first part of the flash. Thankfully, it's not too serious. So far, everyone has been able to just select "reboot" from the menu and carry on as if nothing went wrong.
Now let the phone boot fully - it will take a lot longer than usual to boot. Let it scan the media and everything. After you've let it boot up fully, unplug it from the USB and turn it off. Don't bother setting anything up because now we are about to flash to FroYo
Close Odin down, then start it up again by right-clicking it and choosing "Run as Adminstrator". Now we need to set Odin up slightly differently, and again it's very important that you get these settings exactly right.
First, make sure the only boxes ticked are "Auto Reboot" and "F.Reset Time". There should be no tick in "Re-Partition" this time.
Click on the PIT button and select the "s1_odin_20100803.pit" file. Note this is a different pit file to the one you used last time.
Click the PDA button and select the "CODE_I9000XXJPO.tar" file.
Click the PHONE button and select the "MODEM_I9000XXJPP.tar" file.
Click the CSC button and select the "CSC_I9000OXAJPO.tar" file.
Again, boot your phone up in download mode (press and hold the VOLUME DOWN, HOME and POWER buttons together) until you see the digging Android. Now connect your phone to the USB cable and Odin should again assign a port to it. Your screen should look pretty much like this now...
Check that your ticked boxes match that image, and double check again that you have the right files in the right places. Then go ahead and click start.
Once again, the progress bar shows in Odin and on your phone. When it's finished, Odin will say "PASS!" and your phone will reboot.
Note - After flashing this firmware there might be a long delay while the phone reboots. Mine stayed on the animated "S" for a good 2 - 3 minutes during this phase. This is normal and nothing to worry about...
Let it boot completely before you try and do anything.
Now you will probably be asked to set up a few things like what kind of keyboard you prefer and some google position monitoring crap. Set that up and there is one more thing we need to do. We need to tell the phone to use the "XEU" CSC which is the correct region code for the UK and most of Europe.
The CSC file which you added earlier actually contains a number of CSC's for various areas, and is known as a MultiCSC. So to change to the correct region we first need to know the IMEI number of your phone. Go to the dialer as if you were going to make a call and dial *#06# and this will show your IMEI number. It will be a 15 digit code. Write it down very carefully.
Now dial *#272*Your IMEI# but replace the words "Your IMEI" with the 15 digit code you just wrote down. So for example you would dial something like *#272*213245765434567#
You will get a list of CSC's to choose from. You should select "XEU" and click install. Your phone will probably reboot now and you might need to set the keyboard type and location stuff again.
The following step is optional but I always do it, from what I've read on this forum and a few others, it does make quite a difference to how FroYo performs. We should do a factory reset of the phone, so you are left with a completely blank canvas so to speak.
So once again, shut down your phone but this time reboot it into recovery mode (Volume UP, Home and Power). Select 'Wipe Data/Factory Reset' and press the Home button.
This will result in you getting a shiny SGS, running FroYo JPO with a CSC of 'XEU' as if it was brand new, out of the box

While that seems to be the case at this point, I doubt thay'd want to do that, that would be suicide. The consumer-only user base is pretty large, that's true, but surviving only on them - without the enterprise market and the associated developer base - doesn't sound very realistic. If they'd drop everything and go fully for a consumer-centric OS, that could be the largest win imaginable for iOS and Android (and for Ubuntu on the desktop as well).
Just like Vista was going to herald the beginning of the end of Microsoft..dream on.
If Microsoft can break their dependency on slow moving businesses, then that's a proposition which would likely look very attractive to them. The key isn't to see where things are now, but where things are going.
Mobile growth is exploding, the form factors people use are changing, and the use cases around the devices are changing.
Microsoft makes 30% off of any paid app in the app store, that's up from 0% currently under Windows 7. The money is obviously in their consumer market.
Doesn't open up any opportunity for Linux particularly, because they have their own shit they need to get together, plus there's always Windows 7.
At least until Windows 9 comes, Microsoft has more breathing room, and is able to refine what is Windows 8 to fit businesses a little more naturally. By then I speculate that WinRT will be mature enough to fully replace Win32.
Vista did not shove a new restrictive usability paradigm down on users. The negative reaction to Vista was due to performance, compatibility and under the hood changes. Windows 8 is a totally different kettle of fish.
You mean like how .Net has replaced Win32?
Nelson you need to learn to do a little market research as to where Microsoft makes it's bread and butter, always has, and where it never has... The 'Mobile Market' is an abject fad of consumption toys for idiots that don't really know how to use computers for productive work...
That's well and fine and it may make money, but the people that actually make those toys and the toy software for them need an OS with a multi-tasking interface to make them for you -- not to mention the people that dispatch the ambulance for the Cretins that can't play with their passive consumption toys and walk or drive at the same time...

Weng Wenhao (simplified Chinese: 翁文灏; traditional Chinese: 翁文灝; pinyin: Wēng Wénhào; 26 July 1889 – 27 January 1971) was a Chinese geologist, educator, and paramount politician.
He was one of the earliest modern Chinese geologists, and is regarded as the founder of modern Chinese geology and the father of modern Chinese oil industry in much literature.
From May to November 1948, Weng served as the President of the Executive Yuan of the Republic of China. The position is most commonly referred to as prime minister or premier.
Early years[edit]
He was born in 1889 in Cixi, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province in late Qing Dynasty, and his courtesy name was Yongni (咏霓). His father was a locally famous businessman.
In 1902, he was only a 13-year-old boy but won the title of "skillful writer" (秀才) in the Imperial Examination. Later, he went to Shanghai and then entered a French-speaking Catholic school there.
He obtained his doctor's degree on geology from the Catholic University of Leuven, Flanders, Belgium, in 1912. He was the first Chinese person to hold a western doctor's degree in geology.
ROC period[edit]
In 1912, after obtaining his doctor's degree in geology, he went back to China. He served as the Minister of Mine Industry and the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, Beiyang Government. At the same time, he was also a lecturer and the chief professor (director, from 1914) of the National Research Institute of Geography. Together with Ding Wenjiang, he founded the new National Geological Survey.[1]
He was also a professor of geology in both Beijing University and Tsinghua University. He once was the head of the Department of Geography, Tsinghua University. In Jul. 1931, he started serving as the acting president of Tsinghua University.
In 1928, he assisted Canadian paleoanthropologist Davidson Black in the establishment of the Cenozoic Research Laboratory for the research and appraisal of Peking Man fossils unearthed at Zhoukoudian.
During the period of Central (Provisional) Military Government of the Republic of China, he served in the central government as the General Secretary of the Executive Yuan (13 December 1935 – 9 September 1937); the Minister of Industry (till 1 January 1938), Minister of Education (28 October 1932 – 21 April 1933), and the Minister of Economy (1 January 1938 – 1947).
Invited by Chiang Kai-shek, He served as the first President of the Executive Yuan of Nationalist Government (capital Nanjing) (25 May 1948 – 26 November 1948).
In March 1948, he was selected to be a member of the Academia Sinica. After the establishment of the PRC, he also became a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The Academia Sinica moved to Taipei in 1950, with most members moving to Taiwan or the United States thereafter.
After 1949 & Late years[edit]
After Chinese Civil War, he relocated to Beijing and served in People's Political Consultative Conference with his longtime associate Qian Changzhao.
During the Cultural Revolution, he was specially protected by Zhou Enlai. In 1971, he died in Beijing.
Academic achievements & activities[edit]

Air France crash report blames pilots, faulty equipment
French investigators Thursday blamed the crash of Air France flight into the Atlantic Ocean that killed 228 people on a lack of pilot training in surprise situations and faulty equipment.
Investigators from the Bureau d'Enquetes et d'Analyses (BEA), which is comparable to the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, found in their final report on the crash that airspeed equipment froze up during a storm and gave faulty readings to pilots of the flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris on June 1, 2009.
As alarms sounded and the autopilot turned off, the BEA report said, the pilots pulled up on the nose of the Airbus A330-203, causing it to lose speed even though the engines continued to work.
In a chilling exchange caught on the plane's flight recorder, the pilots talk about their confusion in the minutes before the plane went down.
"We're losing control of the airplane there," one pilot said to the sound of stall warnings. "We lost all control of the airplane," the other co-pilot replied. "We don't understand anything. We've tried everything."
The pilots never announced a problem to the passengers.
"The occurrence of the failure … completely surprised the crew of flight AF 447," the report found. "The crew, whose work was becoming disrupted, likely never realized they were facing a simple loss of all three airspeed sources."
The report blamed the crash on the loss of airspeed information and "the crew's failure to diagnose the stall situation and consequently a lack of inputs that would have made it possible to recover from it."
The investigators recommended improvements pilot training, communication systems and instrumentation. To improve training, the report recommended recurrent lessons and better simulators to familiarize pilots with how to react to surprising or abnormal situations.
"All of the effort invested in anticipation and predetermination of procedural responses does not exclude the possibility of situations with a 'fundamental surprise' for which the current system does not generate the indispensable capacity to react," the report said.
Bill Voss, president of the Flight Safety Foundation in Virginia, said the problem was that pilots were uncertain how to react to a fairly insignificant failure of airspeed equipment.
He said more training is needed so pilots understand how their plane is actually operating, rather than just following computer readings blindly.
"We have a serious training problem worldwide," Voss said. "We have to get the crews back to looking through the automation instead of depending upon the automation."

"We have a serious training problem worldwide," Voss said. "We have to get the crews back to looking through the automation instead of depending upon the automation."
Air France and Airbus, which face charges of manslaughter in an ongoing French judicial review of the case, said they are making flights safer and launching training initiatives.
"Air France is currently involved in an ongoing process of improving flight safety procedures," the company said.
Airbus, which manufactured the A330-203 plane, said the company "spared no effort to seek a full understanding of this tragic event, driven by the collective goal of continuous improvement in aviation safety and their dedication to applying lessons learned across the aviation industry for the benefit of the flying public and in respect of the victims and their families."
Barbara Crolow, a German who lost her son in the crash, said she was "disappointed" in the final report because she thought it focused too much on pilot error.
"There have been other reasons as well, and they ignored them," she said.
Robert Soulas, who lost his daughter and son-in-law in the crash, said investigators said the flight director system indicated the "erroneous information" that the plane was diving downward, "and therefore to compensate, the pilot had a tendency to pull on the throttle to make it rise up."
The investigation was hampered by the difficulty retrieving the plane's flight-data recorders from 13,000 feet deep in the Atlantic Ocean. The recorders, or so-called black boxes, were recovered in April 2011.
Previous reports from BEA on its investigation into the crash had found that the plane pointed upward 16 degrees fell for 3½ minutes before crashing into the ocean. The pilots continued to lift the plane's nose rather than the correct strategy of lowering the nose to boost speed.
Michael Barr, a former fighter pilot who teaches aviation safety at the University of Southern California, said pilots need better training when not using a plane's computerized flight-management, or autopilot, systems on today's big jetliners.
"In other words, back to basics," Barr said.
Similar problems with pilots unintentionally stalling planes have been common in other fatal accidents:
•In the Colgan Air crash Feb. 12, 2009, near Buffalo that killed 50 people, the captain overreacted to a warning signal that the Bombardier Q400 was going too slow and yanked up the turbo-prop's nose, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.
•A West Caribbean Airways crash Aug. 16, 2005, in Venezuela that killed 160 people stalled a Boeing MD-82 at 33,000 feet. The Venezuelan government blamed pilots for failing to recognize the stall during the 3½ minute plunge, despite automatic alerts.
•A Pinnacle Airlines crash Oct. 14, 2004, near Jefferson City, Mo., killed two pilots who stalled a Bombardier CRJ-200 at high altitude.

No doubt about it, one of the most satisfying parts of our job is when we have the chance to report about a new collection. Today just so happens to be one of those lucky-star moments in which we get to do exactly that! Without further adieu, it is our pleasure to introduce you to It-girl cool line, Skaist-Taylor.
From the brains of Juicy Couture founders, Gela Nash-Taylor and Pamela Skaist-Levy, this namesake label is a far cry from the velour tracksuits of the early 2000s. Aimed to please—aka, dress—everyone from bohemians to rockers and all rebellious style mavens in between, it encompasses a wardrobe suited for a modern-day Marianne Faithfull: a chiffon maxi dress here, a leather skirt there and double-breasted jacket to boot. To summarize, we are dreaming to live it up this autumn in every last layered look, and predict you will be too. So, clear some closet space in honor of their fall collection, and mental space for their name, because we're calling it now—you're going to be hearing a lot of Skaist-Taylor.
Availability: Skaist-Taylor Debut Fall Collection ($255-$2150, also available on Net-a-porter this month). For additional information, visit Skaist-taylor.com.
P.S. Get the lowdown on fall fashion and more from the ladies behind Skaist-Taylor in our exclusive Tumblr interview!

Chasing the Big Leagues – Clermont Foot (France Ligue 2)
Introducing a new series on Just Football now – Tales from Tier Two, in which we will be taking a look at how the season is unfolding for the promotion chasing teams around tier two of Europe's major leagues. Brought to you in partnership with the excellent @tiertwofooty. First up, France's Ligue 2 and the three teams chasing the big league and a place alongside PSG, Marseille, Lyon and co.
Ligue 2 – France:
1) Clermont Foot
In a similar vein to last year only 8 points separate the top half of Ligue 2 as the race for the three promotion places to the top table of French football looks set to go to the wire once more.
Going into the winter break Clermont held top spot on 34 points, 1 point ahead of Reims and 4 clear of Bastia & Sedan. As the second half of the season gets underway the comings and goings in the January transfer window could be pivotal in determining how the table shapes up come May.
Clermont, under the guidance of Michel Der Zakarian finished last season well & added quality to the squad in the summer but their rise to the summit of Ligue 2 has still been a surprise to most people away from the Stade Gabriel Montpied.
Der Zakarian spent his entire playing career at Ligue 2 sides (Montpellier & Nantes) and until 2009 his managerial career was spent at the same 2 clubs. The Franco-Armenian has now firmly established his style at Clermont and if they can continue their strong form away from home they should see Ligue 1 football next season.
The key to success at Clermont is held in midfield. Many clubs have cast a keen eye on Romain Alessandrini and keeping hold of the 22 year old Marseille born man is the paramount aim. Alongside him Eugene Ekobo, Yacouba Sylla & Nicolas Bayod provide the platform to allow Alessandrini to get forward and help out the front two.
The wasn't a great deal of transfer activity in the summer but what business was conducted was shrewd, the signing of striker Jean Francois Riviere from Ajaccio particularly so. Riviere is a powerful forward that hit 12 goals last season as Ajaccio claimed an unlikely promotion, including 2 goals in the win at Nimes that sealed the deal. Riviere has proved a hit at Clermont and has struck 10 goals in 17 games so far. 24 year old forward Romain Armand also joined in the summer from Montpellier and although he has only found the net twice he has helped compliment Riviere.
February looks to be a vital month for Clermont. The transfer window will be shut and if Der Zakarian can keep hold of the likes of Alessandrini and defender Damien Perrinelle then promotion can definitely be on the cards. Clermont will more than likely have to fend of suitors for Der Zakarian but has he has shown throughout his career that loyalty is high on his priorities.
Position: 1st
Points clear of promotion chasers: 4 points clear of Sedan in 4th (top 3 promoted automatically)
Will last the pace or tire in the race?: Last the pace – Riviere will help shoot them into Ligue 1
Key Man: Romain Alessandrini attracted attention from clubs in France & abroad in the summer and is likely to do so in January.
Next up: Stade de Reims

Originally written on Pro Boxing Fans | Last updated 9/15/14
The Cruiserweight title fight between current WBO-Champion Marco Huck and challenger Firat Arslan in Halle/Westphalia, Germany, is just days away. But already Kalle Sauerland and event organizer Ralf Weber are working on the next fight, and a much bigger one, at that. It appears that 36-year-old Wladimir Klitschko, heavyweight kingpin, could be the next big name to appear at the Gerry Weber Stadion. The offer to the Heavyweight World Champion: 5 million euros ($6.5 million). And Wladimir's opponent? Marco Huck! But why? Kalle Sauerland: "Bernd Boente, Klitschko's manager, has been talking to Marco directly about the possibility of fighting Klitschko. Now we have used the official channels to approach them with an offer." And the Klitschko-Camp did not take long to respond. After just 20 minutes they declined the offer! "Of course, we are now excepting them to come up with a counter offer. We are always willing to hold personal talks to discuss the terms for such a fight. Then we wil...
