Over at the Capcom blog, a short message was posted instructing Xbox360 owners to check out the exclusive trailer that will be available on Xbox Live, on Feburary 23rd. The short message following of “What could it be about? You’ll have to check it out…” has gaming fans on forums everywhere speculating whether the title will be a current Capcom series or something new all together.
Nobody knows for sure, but one thing is for certain. Come Feburary 23rd countless people will be logging in and checking out the video. Hopefully whatever is behind the veil will be worthy of the interest it has garnered.

For many, the Street Fighter name is synonymous with with fighting genre, and today, fans of that genre rejoice! Street Fighter IV is the long awaited Capcom production that was announced back in October 07′, and people have been clamouring for it ever since. Many fans wondered if the new title would provide the high energy precision that seems to run with the SF name, and were also attentive to the fact that the developers really wanted to get the game’s build right.
At first glance the new art direction is very detailed and everything is rendered in 3D.
Oh but don’t worry, the fighting remains on its conventional 2D plane, true to the SF titles of the past. Character art is stylized to give a hand drawn feel, and on screen visuals compliment this style by showing brush strokes, and ink splatters during the action. The art style draws from a bright, and varying color pallet, which really helps to bring the 3D backgrounds to life.
Combat is also faithful to the genre, as well as bringing in it’s own new flavors and a few other neat tricks. Super combos feature a breakaway camera, that pans to various cinematic action angles, during the combo for a better view of the action. Ultra combos are a new addition to the series, and are based off a “revenge gauge” that requires you to get hit by your opponent in order for the gauge to fill up. This is also known as the Ultra gauge. The camera will also break away during an Ultra Combo so that players will get a better view of the devastation that is being laid out. The last new addition to the combat side of things are the new Focus Attacks. Focus Attacks feature a multi-phase “absorb and counter” system that will most likely create a more “back and forth” style of fighting, that will be a near parallel to boxing.
Overall, the new entrant in the Street Fighter series is living up to it’s proud name already, by showing it is as innovative and fun to play as its predecessors.

Here’s a controversial topic. People are donating umbilical cord blood these days and its all for the hopes it will save their baby’s lives in the future.
Since the change of presidencies, there is a new smell on the scene regarding STEM CELL RESEARCH. Obama brings a new hope to stem cell researchers and hopefully this is the wave of all future cures to chronic ailments.
Stem cells are most prevalently contained in a new born’s umbilical cord blood and if captured right away, this can be frozen and kept for as long as the child lives.
Marrow.org explains more on how to donate or capture your baby’s umbilical cord blood. As well, the links below will give you some of the facts and information regarding this hot topic —>

Hey all,
GPT programs, or Get Paid To programs, are becoming highly popular for the average techy who wants to earn money by sitting around on their couch all day. I used to believe that all of these were scams and that there was no way you could earn money by doing surveys and questionnaires all day, but the truth of the matter is that it does actually work. You may not earn thousands of dollars right off the bat, but if you start now, I can guarantee you that you’ll make $10 the first day, $20 the second, $40 the third, and before you know it, you will be making a lot more. The only thing you have to invest is your time. Although valuable, you might have some extra of it sitting around…
Here’s the trick though… not only do you have to complete survey after survey (which is quite time consuming), but you have to develop a network of people doing this. Companies like CashCrate.com pay you anywhere between $3 to $10 for each person who signs up and completes 2 surveys. As long as you yourself completes 2, and you get your friends to do the same, you’re making some serious dough. I’ve already started doing this and its definitely easy.
If you like this idea and want to give it a try, please support me and use my referral link. It doesn’t take anything away from your earnings and I would really appreciate the support. Thanks.

It is not easy, but it is possible. I still recommend waiting for some program from The Dev Team.
We take no responsibility. Please read everything before you try this…
Downloads:
Firmware 2.1.1
Firmware 2.2.1
Xpwn
iRecovery
Boot helper
Rslite – when you extract it, install the application libusb (it is in iRecovery folder) on this folder. In case of something happen, restart the PC in Safe Mode and uninstall libusb.
If you are on Vista, when you install libusb, press the right button, then proprieties and put it in Compatibility WinXP Service Pack 2
Process:
1.Extract everything in a folder in c:\JB (it is easier)
2.Copy the rslite folder “firmware bundles” to “xpwn” folder.
3.Copy the Firmware 2.2.1 to “xpwn” folder and rename it to “OriginalFW.ipsw” (if in your PC does not appear the extension, just rename to “OriginalFW”)
4.Go to “Start”, then Execute…, then write “cmd” and press enter
5.Write “cd C:\JB\XPwn-0.5.7-win32” and press enter
6.Write “ipsw OriginalFW.ipsw patchedFW.ipsw -s 700 bundles\Cydia.tar” and press enter. It will take a while. When it is back to normal line of command and it is possible to write, close the cmd.
7.Now on the xpwn folder there is a file called “patchedFW.ipsw”. Rename it to patchedFW.zip and open it with Winrar. Find the .dfu file that starts with iBSS and a .img3 file that starts with iBoot and extract both to “iRecovery” folder. Rename it back to “patchedFW.ipsw”.
8.Rename both files that you extracted to: “iBSS221pwn.dfu” and “iBoot221pwn.img3”
9.Open Firmware 2.1.1 with Winrar (same process) and find the iBSS, extract to “iRecovery” folder and rename it to “iBSS211.dfu”
10.Turn on your iPod Touch (if it is off)
11.Connect it to the PC.
12.Put it in DFU mode
13.Open cmd again. Type “cd C:\JB\iRecovery”
14.Type “irecovery -f iBSS211.dfu”. Close cmd and open another.
15.Disconnect the iPod, wait some seconds, connect it again.
16.Now write all t he following commands separately (write one, press enter, write other, press enter…)
“cd C:\JB\iRecovery\”
“irecovery -s” (ps: will appear iPhone$ and you will write the commands in front of that).
17.“arm7_stop”
“mw 0×9000000 0xe59f3014″
“mw 0×9000004 0xe3a02a02″
“mw 0×9000008 0xe1c320b0″
“mw 0×900000c 0xe3e02000″
“mw 0×9000010 0xe2833c9d”
“mw 0×9000014 0xe58326c0″
“mw 0×9000018 0xeafffffe”
“mw 0×900001c 0×2200f300″
“arm7_go”
“arm7_stop”
18.Open a new cmd and type “cd C:\JB\ircovery\” and after “recovery -f iBSS221pwn.dfu”. Close the cmd.
19.Open iTunes and it will say that iPod Touch is in “recovery”.
20.Hold SHIFT and press “restore” (at the same time). Go to xpwn folder, select “patchedFW.ipws” file. Do restore.
21.Your iPod will stay with black screen and will not be recognized by the PC, neither turn on or nothing, that is normal. Just relax.
22.Go to the folder were you extracted the “boot helper”. Over there there is a file called “boot.bat”. Open it.
Open the Task Manager and go to Processes tab
23.Kill “ipodservice.exe” and “AppleMobileService.exe” and rapidly go to the prompt where you opend “boot.bat”, press enter and hold home+power. When it says to release the power button, release it. But when it says to release the home button, stay pressing it, until the PC make a noise showing that everything is ok. If it remains a unknown device, do it again until it is right.
24.Follow the instructions that appear. Disconnect the iPod from the PC and connect it. When the white screen appear press enter.
25.Type “arm7_go” and after “arm7_stop” then press CTRL + C and put “n”, press enter.
26.Now type “go” and after CTRL + C and “n” again.
27.Your iPod Touch should do the boot, with Cydia and everything.
