Jennifer Davis wrote in about a solo show she's having at Gallery 360 in Minneapolis, Out On a Limb, with an opening reception on Saturday, June 2nd from 7-10pm.
Her work is so beautiful (oh, the colors!), I couldn't resist using this as an excuse to share her talent with you. I think Mississippi (below) is my favorite, as I've always loved steamboats and paddle wheelers (the southerner in me) and you don't usually see these boats in a fresh, modern color palette like this one. Beautiful job, Jennifer!
Her show runs from June 2 – July 22, so if you live in the Minneapolis area, hop on over to Gallery 360, located at 3011 W 50th Street and tell me how gorgeous her work is in person and make me jealous because I can't be there myself. ;)
Thank you Jennifer for writing in!

Do you read Adorn magazine (published quarterly)? It's growing up all the time, and I enjoy watching it evolve. It's fun to see who they'll feature next, so many great finds in this super cute 'n crafty magazine. Adorn truly support indie artists and bloggers like crazy, which is refreshing. Not just a slight nod either, the entire issue speaks of them and to them and their cult of followers.
The evolution of Adorn is interesting to watch because it somewhat mirrors how blogs gain popularity. Not through expensive advertising, knowing the "right" people, and fancy events, but through indie craft fairs and web chatter, which is how I found out about them back when they first launched. And so far, word on the street is very much in favor of this "Crafty girls guide to embellishing life."
Psst: I'm eagerly awaiting their Summer issue since a few of my favorite artists are featured in it (Lisa Congdon comes to mind). In case you aren't that familiar with Adorn, look for it in the craft section at your local bookstore, like Borders (where I find mine). You can also subscribe to it, which I suggest because Borders seems to sell out of them quickly.
(images from adorn magazine)
In addition to the Etsy roundup of affordable prints I wrote for Domino magazine, I have many others that I wish I could have included because there are so many amazing prints and original works of art to be unearthed over on Etsy. What a treasure chest of finds! Take this Australian illustrator, Ali J, that I found just recently. I adore her stylish girls, don't you?
Ali is the talent behind Aussie Patches, an etsy store that features her girls, dozens of dazzling illustrations with a distinct fashion feel and a modern, punchy color palette. Both prints and originals range in price from $5 – $30 (including originals!) and $100 for a large painting of a winter scene. Her work is charming, affordable, and I think you'll really like it. Imagine these arranged over a white sofa with bright pillows in sunny yellow and pink?
FYI: Ali is also a fellow blogger, so you can learn more about Miss Aussie Patches right here.

I selected the decor8 book of the week, Photocraft: Cool Things to Do with the Pictures You Love, based on a personal need. Like you, I have billions of digital images and although I enjoy uploading them to my Flickr account and sharing them with others, I haven't dedicated the time to actually print them out and do something with them. Relate?
My husband Thorsten took this photo in the apple orchard behind our home where there's this tiny patch of green with what seems like thousands of dandelions. Most of us have long admired these delicate white puffs because as children, we'd blow them just to watch the seeds dance in the blue sky and drift off into the horizon. Looks like this one was about to take that same journey. I'd like to turn it into a huge canvas for my dining room wall. What do you think? Where do you go to turn a photo into a large canvas? I've seen a ton of places online offering this service, but I'd love to hear from someone that has actually tried one with good results. Anyone?
As we mature, and time is no longer spent running through fields amongst flowers, capturing a moment is key because we don't know when we'll have the opportunity to repeat the magic. Outside of desktop wallpaper, photos in frames, or the latest craze, photos clipped on DIY lines, I haven't explored alternate creative ways to display photos as much as I should. So I started to look into this a bit and fell upon Photocraft displayed proudly at Barnes and Noble last week. I grabbed it, scanned every page, and quickly found 1, 2, 3…6 projects that I totally imagined taking on. And they're amazingly easy, any idiot can do it. Big plus.
One of the projects in the book, creating jewel box photo art, is actually demonstrated by Photojojo on their website in a quick and easy video how to. I love this project because you can purchase brand new jewel cases in bulk (my husband swears by eBay as the best source. Search: jewel cases. Or shop Circuit City or Best Buy, but they'll cost a lot more). You can find cases that are as thick as your typical music CDs, or you can find the slim ones, meant for CDR's. You don't have to take apart your music CDs, in fact I don't suggest it because more likely than not, your cases will have scratches and you want only those that are in perfect shape.
Hop on over to Photojojo and watch how it's done.
Now you can take your photos to the next level — off of your computer and onto your walls — in a less traditional, and totally modern, way. For more cool projects from Photocraft, purchase the book here on Amazon for only $13. Photojojo sells lots of neat things that will help you use your photos as art, so browse their website while you're at it, like their photo block kit shown above.
Have fun!

I am researching Thomas Clawson who married Elizabeth Wilson, daughter of John and Jane/Jean (___) Wilson Sr. by 1783 in Berkeley County, VA (now WV). By 1797 they had moved to Mason County, Kentucky now Fleming County, Kentucky where they bought land from Elizabeth (Wilson) Clawson's brother-in-law and sister, John and Mary (Wilson) Jones Sr. Sometime between 1811 and 1826 they moved to Ohio, but I have not yet been able to determine where. I have found references to a Rachel Clawson who married a William Berryman and who lived in Allen/Auglaize Counties, Ohio, who may have been Thomas' daughter. Can anyone help me place this Thomas Clawson and determine where in Ohio he moved to? Who were his parents, siblings? According to an 1826 Fleming County Circuit Court case (see below) he took depositions of people in Ross County, Ohio and somewhere near Hamilton County, Ohio, but it did not state that he was living in either of those counties. Below is an excerpt from my family tree and shows some of the information that I have so far on this Thomas Clawson. Who were his children? Thanks for any help. ----------------2 WILSON, ELIZABETH - Born ca 1750-1760?, daughter of John and Jane(Jean)(____?) Wilson.

Description This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/582,769, filed Jun. 25, 2004, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. The present invention generally relates to porous media and methods for using such media. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods of characterizing porous media by determining their rate of wettability or dynamic wettability and selecting and using the porous media based on the dynamic wettability. Porous media are commonly used to filter, absorb, adsorb, separate, or otherwise remove selected components from a liquid. In the medical field, porous media are commonly used in the processing of biological fluids. For example, porous filter membranes have been used to separate components of biological fluid. One example of such an application is the Autopheresis-C� System sold by Baxter Healthcare Corporation, of Deerfield, Ill., the assignee of the present application. In the Autopheresis-C�, plasma is separated from the remaining blood components of a donor by passage through a spinning filter membrane. The plasma is collected for later processing and the other blood components are returned to the donor. To be effective in the filtration, sorption, separation or removal of selected components from liquid, the porous medium must be �wettable� by the liquid with which the medium is in contact. �Wettability� is commonly determined by whether or not the liquid is absorbed by the porous medium. For example, a porous medium that, when contacted by a liquid, results in beads of liquid forming on the surface and remaining in bead shape is considered �not wettable� by the liquid. Tests have been developed which characterize porous media in terms of whether or not they will be wet by a particular liquid. One way in which such media can be characterized is by their so-called �critical wetting surface tension,� or CWST, described in detail in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,880,548 and 4,976,861, assigned to the Pall Corporation and incorporated by reference herein. The CWST of a porous medium may be determined by individually applying to its surface, preferably dropwise, a series of liquids with surface tensions varying by 2 to 4 dynes/cm, and observing the absorption or non-absorption of each liquid. The CWST of a porous medium, in units of dynes/cm, is defined as the mean value of the surface tension of the liquid which is absorbed and that of a liquid of neighboring surface tension which is not absorbed. It has generally been assumed that porous media with comparable CWST values will exhibit similar performance characteristics, such as the rate of liquid flow through the medium at a given trans-medium pressure. However, it has been observed that porous media made of the same materials with the same mean pore size, same thickness and same CWST do not always behave in the same way. For example, porous media with very similar, or even the identical characteristics described above, may display significant differences in the interaction of the medium and the liquid with which the medium is in contact. For example, as discussed in greater detail below, in the field of biological fluid processing, similar porous media may at times display differences in the flow and the flow rate of the biological fluid through the media. Until now, these differences in characteristics (such as, but not limited to flow rate) have not been discernible by any known method of characterizing the porous medium, such as CWST or other known tests. Thus, it would be desirable to provide a method of characterizing porous media with more precision and thereby discern differences between the surface characteristics of comparable media. Furthermore, a method that can discern subtle differences in surface characteristics can be correlated to certain desirable or undesirable interactions with the subject liquid, allowing the end user to select one porous medium over another otherwise comparable medium. In one aspect, the present invention is directed to a method for separating blood components with a biological filter membrane. The method includes providing a device having a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, a flow path therebetween, and a porous biocompatible membrane suitable for contact with blood components between the inlet and outlet. The membrane is selected based on its dynamic wettability as determined by an observed rate of absorption of a liquid at a plurality of selected time intervals. The method further includes introducing a biological fluid including at least two blood components into the flow path and contacting the porous membrane with the biological fluid. In a another aspect, the present invention is directed to a device for separating components from a biological fluid. The device includes a housing including an inlet port and an outlet port and a flow path therebetween. A porous biocompatible membrane suitable for contact with a biological liquid is located in proximity to the flow path. The membrane is selected on the basis of its dynamic wettability as determined by an observed rate of absorption of a liquid at a plurality of selected time intervals. Turning now to the figures, The devices shown in Briefly, however, as depicted in Although the membrane is shown on the surface of the rotor in In the separator 60 shown in In a preferred embodiment, porous medium 20 may be a porous filter membrane made of a polymeric material. Optionally, the porous filter membrane may be made of a polymeric material coated on a polymeric support. Such membranes having a polymeric support and the methods of making them are well known in the art and will not be described in detail here. Briefly, however, polymeric support is coated with a polymeric coating solution. (The polymeric solution is the polymeric material dissolved in a solvent.) The support with the coating thereon is then contacted with a solution selected to precipitate parts of the polymeric coating solution (e.g., the solvent in which the material is dissolved), thus creating a porous surface. After any required rinsing, the membrane is dried, cut and/or applied to rolls. The polymeric coating is one that is biocompatible, and capable of being sterilized by methods of sterilization typically used in the medical field. In one preferred embodiment, the coating on the support is made of a polyamide, such as nylon, and more preferably Nylon 66. Other materials can also be used to coat the polymeric support. For example, in one embodiment, polycarbonate may be used. In another embodiment, polyvinylidenedifluoride (PVDF) or other fluorinated polymers may be used. These membranes may be further treated or coated with solutions such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) to affect their wettability. The polymeric support can be any material that is compatible with the polymeric coating and one which the polymeric solution will effectively coat. In a preferred embodiment, the support may be a non-woven polymeric material. One example of a suitable support is a polyester mesh. Membrane 20 will have a thickness and a mean pore size based on the desired separation procedure. For example, in an embodiment where membrane 20 is used to separate plasma from whole blood in a device such as the Autopheresis�, membrane 20 includes a nylon coating on a polyester support. The membrane (including the support) has a preferred thickness of approximately 0.0050-0.0075 inches and a nominal pore size of approximately 0.65 microns. As discussed above, in accordance with one aspect of the present invention, membranes or other porous surfaces may be characterized in a way that has been previously unknown, namely, by observing and measuring their dynamic wettability. �Dynamic wettability,� as used herein, means the rate at which a drop of liquid (with a surface tension that may or may not be known and a drop volume that is preferably known) is absorbed by the membrane or porous medium. The absorption is observed and measured at a plurality of selected time intervals, such as, but not limited to, every 30 seconds, every 45 seconds, every minute, etc. Determining the dynamic wettability of a membrane or other porous medium can be carried out by any technique which allows one to determine the rate that the drop of liquid (with a surface tension that may or may not be known) is absorbed by the medium over a period of time. Determining dynamic wettability may include observing one or more physical characteristics of the drop or the porous medium that relates to absorption at a plurality of time intervals. Physical characteristics (and the changes thereto) that may be observed include, but are not limited to, the area of the drop, the height of the drop, the width of the drop, the diameter of the drop, the overall shape of the drop (i.e., a discrete circle or some other less regular shape), and/or the contact angle between the drop and the surface of the porous medium. In one preferred embodiment, determining the rate of absorption or dynamic wettability can be achieved by observing and measuring the contact angle (and the change thereto) of the liquid droplet on the surface of the medium, at a plurality of selected time periods. The results may be plotted to provide a visual assessment of the dynamic wettability (see With reference to Using the dynamic wettability of the medium, one can discern differences in the surfaces of otherwise seemingly similar or identical media. Based on the differences in the surface characteristics of the media, one medium can be selected over another medium for a particular application. In addition, dynamic wettability can be used to identify differences in the surface characteristics of a given porous medium, such as, for example, differences between different regions of the medium. In one particular example of its application, dynamic wettability can be used to select a particular membrane over an otherwise comparable or substantially identical membrane for processing biological fluids through a device such as the Autopheresis-C�. More specifically, membranes providing a more consistent and less variable rate of plasma flow over time can be identified based on their dynamic wettability when compared to otherwise comparable membranes having a different dynamic wettability. Described below and shown in Each of the sample membranes was cut into a strip. Drops of 17% NaCl solution having a surface tension of 78.5 dynes/cm were placed in the same locations on the respective strips (approximate size, ⅜ inch by 2 inch). A Model 100 Contact Angle Goniometer from Ram�-Hart was used to measure the contact angle of the drops at selected time intervals. Two samples from each membrane were tested. The results are set forth below and are graphically represented in
As can be seen from the foregoing and from From the foregoing, it is clear that dynamic wettability can provide more precise information regarding how quickly a liquid is absorbed by a selected medium, thereby revealing sometimes subtle differences in the medium surface. The dynamic wettability can then be correlated to certain desirable or undesirable interactions with the contacting liquid and thereby allow selection of the medium based on the desirable or undesirable result. The dynamic wettability can also be used to characterize the capillarity of a given porous medium. The dynamic wettability can also be compared to the dynamic wettability of other comparable media and allow selection of a medium based on such comparison. In addition, the dynamic wettability of different areas of a given porous medium can be measured to identify the degree of uniformity in surface characteristics of a medium surface or, conversely, variables in the surface characteristics of the medium. This information can be useful, for example, in the area of manufacturing porous media. There may be other applications and used for dynamic wettability measurements. The present invention has been described in the context of its preferred embodiments and end uses. However, using the dynamic wettability to characterize porous media may be useful in other applications. Accordingly, nothing in the foregoing description should be construed as limiting the invention to the examples and uses described above, and the true scope of the present invention is to be construed based on and limited only by the appended claims.

EFFINGHAM — An 11-0 spurt in the fourth quarter propelled the Vandalia Lady Vandals to a 49-42 win over Greenville on Monday night in the first game of the Effingham Round Robin Girls Basketball Tournament. The Lady Vandals trailed by one early in the fourth quarter before they got going in a big way. Vandalia's girls scored 11 unanswered points to take control of the game.
Even with several key performers missing in action, the Vandalia Vandals celebrated Senior Day by winning two of three wrestling duals on Saturday. The Vandals were shorthanded for the quad, but still won two out of three. Vandalia topped Robinson, 47-15. The Vandals then knocked off Monticello, 42-30. Murphysboro took advantage of Vandalia's open weights in a 39-37 win over the hosts in the final dual of the day. Vandalia Coach Jason Clay said the open weights were tough to overcome against Murphysboro.
LITCHFIELD — The Vandalia Vandals split two duals at Litchfield on Thursday night. Vandalia beat Highland, 51-21. But Litchfield knocked off the Vandals, 39-30. After splitting the duals, the Vandals are now 19-6 in duals.
Litchfield Litchfield defeated Vandalia, 39-30. Litchfield won by forfeit at 106. Vandalia's Jarrett Paslay defeated Collin Davidson, 7-2, at 113. Chaston Womack earned a 15-0 decision over Tyler Thiessen at 120.
One frustrating loss had tormented the Vandalia Lady Vandals for nearly a month. So when the Lady Vandals got another shot at Pana, it's safe to say there was some extra motivation. In the end, Vandalia's girls earned some sweet revenge with Thursday's 41-27 victory over the Pana Lady Panthers. The Lady Vandals had suffered a upsetting overtime loss at Pana on Dec. 15, with a controversial call playing a big role. But this time, the Lady Vandals took care of business, earning some payback in the process.
PATOKA — Two of the top small school boys basketball teams in the region met on Saturday in Patoka. In the end, Altamont earned a 63-48 win over the host Warriors. Jered Cain scored 16 points to lead Patoka (13-6). Garrett Belcher had 12 and Tyler Back added 10 for the Warriors. Adam Mayhaus poured in 32 points for the Indians, while Ryan Armstrong scored 27. Altamont made 26 of 33 free throws, while Patoka connected on just 9 of 20 at the foul line.
Greenville simply had too much firepower for the Vandalia Vandals. Taking advantage of its depth, size and athleticism, Greenville hammered Vandalia, 73-46, on Friday night in front a jam-packed VCHS gymnasium. Vandalia Coach Brian Buscher said he was proud of his team's effort, but gave the Comets credit, too. "They're a solid team," Buscher said. "They hurt you everywhere because they're all capable of scoring. Our kids played hard. I'm proud of our effort. I just wish our execution would have been better."
The Vandalia Vandals were shorthanded last Wednesday night. It was hard to tell. The host Vandals went 3-0 in duals on Wednesday, winning all three in impressive fashion. Vandalia defeated Belleville East, 42-18, and then knocked off Mascoutah, 63-12. Vandalia beat Roxana, 45-21, in the final dual. The Vandals were without Jake Stewart, Kolten Kaiser and Skylar Depew, as all are dealing with injuries. And yet they still won all three duals.
Ryne Lipsey's wrestling career got off to a late start. But he's made up for lost time. While most of today's top high school wrestlers began competing in grade school, Lipsey did not. In fact, Lipsey didn't get involved in the sport of wrestling until his freshman year of high school, almost a decade after some of his peers got their start. But that late start hasn't stopped Lipsey's success on the mat.
Piano students of Staccato Studios and Christine Jones, instructor in Fillmore and Vandalia, played Christmas music for the residents of Tremont Ridge in Hillsboro during their dinner hour on Dec. 9.
Kristina Marie Stunkel and Trevor Scott Summers, both of Corpus Christi, Texas, and formerly of Vandalia, have announced their engagement and upcoming marriage.

Prof. Patrick McGuinn.
Detroit's pension liabilities have received much of the blame for the city's bankruptcy. Labor groups and retirees have accused Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr of overestimating the shortfall, while others have blamed unions for the city's decline. That argument does nothing to solve the problem, according to a new report from the Brookings Institution. The Brown Center on Education Policy looked at how state governments are dealing with massive pension debts. Researcher Patrick McGuinn says instead of pointing fingers, everyone needs to achieve the same goal: a sustainable pension system. He spoke with WDET's Pat Batcheller.

Very good
Crowne Plaza staff was very cordial and helpful during our stay. We were in for a funeral and the staff & management were very accommodating to our needs.
Property is still under construction and although relatively clean in those areas of construction, there is a distinct smell of drywall dust even on the upper floors. it's most likely in the ventilation system.
I reserved via booking.com, and the rate I received was exceptional, but it did not include a continental breakfast.....
Cleanliness and wonderful staff
I was starving and there was no chief. Most have free breakfast however I could not even pay for it. Staff was not even aware there was not one . That would have me prob Stay else where.
I really enjoyed how friendly the front desk staff was. Also met the General Manager, in passing, and he was very friendly and welcoming (despite being very busy). Room was very clean, bathroom was wonderful.
Did not like the bar/lounge staff member. Not very pleasant. Bar/Lounge is also very expensive, and like I said service was lacking. Our room was on top of the laundry room, and it was very loud. We were woken up by the "thumping" of what sounded like a very large commercial dryer, and repeatedly disturbed with the loud noises of the room (not the best for actually getting sleep). Very minor, there was a coffee pot in the room, but no spoons of sugar for the coffee.
New and clean and comfortable. Free parking a perk!
The rooms were updated and very nice. Check in was easy and fast. Lounge area and food were excellent.
I wish there was a refrigerator or microwave.
it was ready and it was a nice stay - well done
all good
Staff was friendly & very helpful, courtious, and could speak english! Thanks.
Had to change rooms, because the plumbing was not right in room 300. staff was helpful in moving us to room 400. was told that the breakfeast was included with the room. It cost 14.00/aech. The manager cut the cost on are breakfeast after finding out the problems with the room.
Employees where so nice and rooms were very clean
Nothing it was a great experience and will be staying there again this year
The price and location to the stadium etc.
The main elevator was down during a busy time of the day (for cleaning) and if you took the stairs down then you'd have to walk outside the side of the building to go back inside the front to the lobby. Very inconvenient for something that could wait until a less busier time.
This hotel is being renovated and it feels like being in an unfinished house during renovations. Rooms are fine but the halls are unfinished and the building is being renovated from outside. There is smell of glue/paint. When I arrived to this place, I could not recognize at the beginning if it was open for business. I would not recommend staying there unless they will finish the renovations.
When we arrived the halls were all cluttered with boxes. It was like they were open for business but were not expecting anyone to stay.
It was being converted into some other hotel. There was only a handful of rooms open and the entire facility was full of construction equipment, Sheetrock, etc.
Location was decent
We were checked into a dirty room! Wendys cup on the nightstand, unmade bed someone had clearly been in! All under construction. Should not of been open for business. Website did not inform of that. Construction materials everywhere. Did not end up staying in that dirty place
the hotel will be nice when its finished
it wasn't finished. My wife and I were out rather late and were awakened by the construction noise. the "breakfast" was pretty much non-existent. There was dust everywhere in the hallways due to sanding.
Bed were comfortable
Quality of the rooms was lacking. No QA being done in the rehab and was not advised of this at booking. Very disappointed.
The construction was uncomfortable but hopefully it turns out nice in the end. The discount off was a nice compensation for that.
Hotel was in terrible condition due to construction, which we were not made aware of when we made our reservation. Horrible experience.
Place is under construction. Went to room. Room not up to standard. Lighting poor. Cleanliness substandard. Had to leave not a place to stay for the money they were asking for. Hotel is going through name change and upgrade when pulling into lot it does not even looks like it is open. As my first statement under construction. Asked for a discount and was told that it could not be done. Had money returned.
The amenities are being renovating
WiFi signal was poor
The place is in the midst of major renovations and as such is a construction site with dust and grit everywhere, unvacuumed carpets, rude construction workers, and front desk employees who don't appear to have even a rudimentary understanding that they are in the hospitality business. If it were possible to rate this dump with negative numbers, I'd do it. Folks, find somewhere else to stay -- this place was pathetic.
The lady who checked us in was extremely helpful and professional. Room was excellent and comfortable, Breakfast was great. Excellent value at under USD100 for the night, but the price will probably go up after the upgrades are finished.
Lots of work still to be done and it was obvious. However this didn't affect our room or breakfast. 6.25 in the morning we asked the receptionist to book a taxi. He didn't do this till about 6.40 and we were late getting to the airport (just as the airline was cutting off the luggage checking for our flight). He (receptionist) was obviously sick and unpleasant sounds of him hacking up phlegm were quite disgusting. One and only vending machine out of order.
It was close to where I had to be in the morning
They did not tell me that this place was going under remodel, reconstruction, there was no carpet or flooring in the hallways and the room numbers were all on painters tape, very disappointed.

4.5 A must have for young children! DubGal | 21/11/2007 | See all DubGal's reviews (5) Brilliant book. Really suited to the 3-6 age group. Has the days of the week, the life cycle of the caterpillar, numbers and can be used to teach colours. Has little holes for the caterpillar to climb through, but this does not come with many of the copies of the book (little fingers like going through if you don't have one). Fantastic!

The "7-Day War" -- seven days of nuclear winter -- have caused massive ecological shifts on Earth. The ground splits open, the oceans boil, and all living things on the planet begin to change...including humanity. Scientists create a computer to leave a seed and restore humanity, a computer known simply as "N", which is part of the top-secret Project Yukiwo. What is Project Yukiwo? None who know remain...Master of Weapon is a vertically-scrolling shooter based on the 1990 Taito arcade game. The player controls the fighter ship "N", shooting various biological enemies. Powerups are sparse, with only a handful of upgrades available from item pods. The player can fire in the air, as well as towards the ground to hit land-based enemies. There is also a special weapon which can be changed with powerups, but also takes time to recharge back to full stock. There are a total of nine "acts", and three difficulty settings.

So i have a SGS2 t989 on gingerbread and i decided to upgrade it to ICS using Samsung Kies but Kies was giving me problems like being stuck on Preparing the firmware components. So i decided to flash the ROM using odin onto the phone. So far only download links i found to download the firmware T989UVLH1_T989TMBLH1_TMB.zip were on hotfile and a minor link from filecloud. Those links don't seem to be working for me. Does anyone have another link form where i can download this ZIP file? if not can someone give me a solution for Samsung Kies being stuck at preparing the firmware components. Im on my desktop windows 7 64bit with a strong enough internet connection to download large files.
Hi driger :ciao: Check this guide. http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-t-mobile/628449-how-odin-any-stock-rom.html The links probably go to the same hot file URL. After you select download you have to wait 30 seconds. If it doesn't work maybe try a different browser or possibly your firewall is blocking it.

Strength & Honour (Windows)
100 point score based on reviews from various critics. ...
5 point score based on user ratings. |
Not an American user?
Strength & Honour is a strategy game similar to the Total War series and is set in the ancient world. After choosing a campaign the player needs to manage his cities. He needs to build up the cities infrastructure to satisfy the people's wishes for food and education and simultaneously built up an army. Politics involve choosing the right governors, neutralizing opposition on the own country and diplomatic relationships to other nations. The so-called "philosophies" influence how the people think and act, e.g. militarism is good for the army but bad for the spiritual part of life. This part of the game is turn-based.As soon as a battle occurs the game switches to real-time combat. At first the player chooses the units and their formations. Then he basically tries to destroy the enemies by issuing attack orders. Of course there are also tactical maneuvers possible, e.g. by using ranged attacks or using forests. There are overall eight nations, e.g. Rome and Egypt. If the player doesn't like both parts he also can play just one - either by letting the CPU calculate the real-time combat or using the "historical fight" option which includes real-time combat only.

A dress photo could mean big online business for a UK retailer
Women's clothing brand Roman Originals has been inundated by calls since the photo became the center of an online debate.
As Yahoo Japan eliminates sellers' fees, Rakuten keeps its fees in place.
To increase the number of sellers on Yahoo Shopping and auction site Yafuoku and "be No. 1 in transaction value in the Japanese e-commerce market," Yahoo Japan Corp. says it will eliminate nearly all fees charged to sellers on those sites beginning this month. "As a result, everyone from major companies to small businesses that had hesitated over opening stores for some reason will now be able to do so," Yahoo president and CEO Manabu Miyasaka said in describing the company's new fee policy earlier this month.
The company says it also plans by the end of this year to allow for consumer-to-consumer sales transactions, also without seller's fees, on the Yahoo Shopping site as well as on auction site Yafuoku.
Yahoo Japan's biggest competitor, Japan-based Rakuten Inc., has no plans to follow suit with a new seller fee policy. Rakuten chairman and CEO Hiroshi Mikitani told an e-commerce business conference in Tokyo Monday that his company will stick with its fee structure so that it can continue to provide good services to online sellers, resulting in a marketplace populated with good merchants and products.
Rakuten is growing faster in Japan than its rival, putting pressure on Yahoo Japan—a joint venture of majority owner Softbank Corp. and Yahoo Inc.—to build its volume of sellers and buyers, says Scot Wingo, CEO of ChannelAdvisor Corp., a company that helps retailers sell through e-marketplaces. "In Japan, Rakuten is about the same size of Yahoo Shopping, but growing much faster, so Yahoo has to catch up," he says. "So we're seeing this 'battle of the billionaires', where you have Softbank's chairman and CEO Masahoshi Son battle it out with Rakuten's Mikitani."
Rakuten's Japan-based Ichiba online shopping mall accounts for 48.9%, or $9.76 billion, of all sales in Japan by the retailers ranked in Internet Retailer's Asia 500. The Asia 500 guidebook also notes that Ichiba accounts for about 8% of all estimated 2012 Japanese retail web sales of $129.00 billion. Figures for Yahoo Japan were not available.
Yahoo Japan's former e-marketplace fees included a monthly "tenant fee" of 25,000 yen (about US$250), plus a royalty fee ranging from 1.7% to 6.0% of transaction value. Rakuten charges a similar monthly fee of about $250, plus a percentage of transaction value.
Whose pricing strategy will pay off in the long term, Wingo says, remains to be seen. "There are a variety of business models out there for marketplaces and only time will tell which are the most popular," he says.
The free model can present challenges by attracting disreputable merchants selling low-quality goods, Wingo says. But free listings have also been known to spur marketplace growth, he adds. He notes that in China, Alibaba Group, No. 1 in the Asia 500, managed to drive marketplace powerhouse eBay Inc. out of China by providing free product listings for sellers involved in consumer-to-consumer transactions on Alibaba's Taobao e-marketplace. Alibaba went on to grow advertising revenue on Taobao, Wingo says. Alibaba later opened another marketplace, Tmall, aimed at larger brands that pay seller fees. Alibaba's revenue increased 61% to $1.74 billion and gross profit 74% to $1.29 billion in the second quarter, according to data released by Yahoo Inc., which owns 24% of Alibaba Group.
"The result has cleared worked well for Alibaba, so perhaps Yahoo Japan is taking a page from this playbook," he adds.
