Agreed, but injuries are not exclusive to YOG, it can happen with any form of exercise including walking. Even wrong posture of walking causes lots of injuries. My observation is - may be due to our inherited culture - we talk more about ills that goods.

i have also found Babaji to be good although i have not done it, i have friends and family doing it, @ Kshah go ahead with yog story we are here to share experience Thanks In March 2007, I was diagnosed TB and lost lots of weight during 6 month treatment. I went down from 72 Kgs to 64 Kgs from March 07 to June 07. Later due to TB medicines (As told by doctor) I got splodylitis and stiffer back - symptoms similar to slip disk. Though xrays and other things were pretty much normal. There as some wear due to sedentary life style we all follow. Later, I was advised to take rest and go thru small small excercises suggested by orthopedic - but had no effect in 3 months. (July 07 to Sept 07) I always had been doing heavy exercises, but since my lungs were not in position to do heavy exercises. I had to look for easy but effective solution for myself. So end of my TB treatment, they do lung test and efficiency of lungs were 62%, Doctor was expecting improvement of about 10% in next 1 year (Aug 07) with breathing exercises he suggested. So I was looking for suitable ways to regain fitness and get rid of stiff neck, stiffer back and low energy levels as well as negligible physical strength. At that time due to my back ground of heavy exercise, I thought that without doing exercise my lung capacity will not increase. One morning I saw Ramdev yog on TV and decided to do yog. I bought many books and CD's. But to my surprise, most Indian yog books and CD's talked more about danger of YOG than benefit of it. They will warn you for "WHAT NOT TO DO" rather than encouraging you to do. Only Radevji's books and CD's were prompting to do it first - for gradual improvement. His claims may not be sustainable at times but they are not wrong claims always - certain amount of iflated claims are necessary these days to market. First I started doing PRANAYAM for about 6 weeks (Oct 4th Week 07) as suggested by them when I sent them email . In my next follow up, my doctor (Pulmonist) and conducted lung efficiency test again. He was very surprised to see than in about 6 weeks my lung capacity increased by 12% to 74%. He conducted tests twice and was very happy. When I asked him for exercise again, he said do what ever you are doing right now. It has a great effect on your health. I gained about kilo and a half in those 6 weeks as well. What I was doing was following exact regime of pranayam shown in Ramdevji's CD for Spondalytis. Then after 6 weeks I started doing YOG ASAN with difficulties due to stiffer contracted length muscles. After about 4 months my back and neck started becoming easier and weight became stable at 72 Kgs (April 08). From April 08, I included 4 KM fast walking in regime as lungs were still not fit for cardio sort of heavy exercise. SInce then I am doing yog. Later from Feb 09, I included surya namaskar as suggested by YOG teacher trained by Ramdevji's institute and my back started becoming even better even faster. Still my back its according to me is 80% fit. But certainly it was an improvement beyond my expectation as TB medicines has some long term side effects. I studies books of even Bikram yog, Iyengar yog and Bhartiya Yog Sansthan (They publish good books) I liked bhartiya yog sanstan and Ramdevji's Patanjali yog ashram books the best. They suggest some of very simple basic exercise necessary for whole body - basic fitness. Once you start getting benefitted, you always look further to get advanced. Then I met few people who are so fit and strong even without touching weights. Means there is no point in underestimating any thing. Conclusion is any type of exercise is good for you as long as you do it regularly and religiously. Doing it rightly is must - if you have doubt about doing it rightly do it very easily so that one reduces chances of injuries to minimum.

As far as my experience is concern, Ramdev yoga are really good. His regime is very effective. I can say from my experience. Just like any other exercise, YOG too can cause injuries if not done correctly. No exercise is exception. So better do not get afraid. Patience and gradual rise are two key to good health. Let me know if you are interested in my story of yog.

Just seat in Sauna and see how much weight is reduced. I agree and firmly believe no substitute for hard work. Still MORNING WALKERS SELLS

How about working on pESN to MEID convertor? And generate MEID equal to ESN ?

who would want those? you were wrong tanveer. Agreed gradually our society is becoming obese. This is good initiative genius, thanks a lot. I am pretty fit physically and do exercise regularly. In between for 12 years I left exercise but again picked up since last 2 years. I do Yog, Surya namaskar and Walking. Formarly When in 20's was used to do lots of weight and martial arts. later due to wrong priorities and belief - focused more on business than body. Also arrogance and over confidence due to body in very prime condition - that nothing can go wrong with me and my body, I stopped excersising for about 12 years. I was not regular during that period. I believe that was the worst mistake I did in my life. Anyway, DER AYE DURAST AYE. Now that I do excersice regularly. I need advise: (I have never consulted any doctor of sports medicine, nor could find answer on net.) 1. Comparatively my body is stiffer right from the beginning - (even when I was used to do more than 12 hours of martial arts training in a week for 7 years). Is there any food supplement / vitamins / trace elements which increases flexibility of body?

Interesting article on MEID on howard forum ESN vs. pESN/MEID Explained (or, Never The Twain Shall Meet in Their Firmware) The whole issue of ESN vs. pESN/MEID firmware made me curious, especially with the problems VZW Moto owners have had trying to flash one type of phone with firmware designed and compiled for the other type of phone. The result has been 99+% certain to brick the phone, recovery from which is, at best, very difficult. Recommendation: The Firmware Tracker should be revised to positively and very clearly track whether a particular firmware revision is for an ESN or MEID phone! The confusion between the two has (from what I've read on this forum) bricked a good number of phones. I read in a (much too) brief summary that MEID came about to solve the problem of running out of unique ESN to assign to new CDMA and TDMA phones. The MEID was supposed to be implemented with CDMA2000, but ESN is being exhausted sooner than anticipated (or sooner than CDMA2000 can completely replace CDMA with EVDO). GSM phones currently use a decimal IMEI number, but GSM came later, realized the ESN problem, and started with a longer number. Found more details about ESN and MEID today. That summary is the crux of it. There's more though, and it explains clearly why firmware for ESN phones should never be used on pESN/MEID phones, and vice versa. The firmware for them are not interchangeable! The FCC requires that phones have a unique, embedded, permanently hard-wired ID number in each phone. In other words, a number that cannot be changed by reprogramming or flashing. The industry, phone makers and cellular service carriers support this requirement too. This unique number identifies a specific phone globally, independent of carrier or manufacturer (although part of the number can ID who made the phone). For AMPS, CDMA and TDMA phones, this globally unique number is its ESN. For pESN/MEID CDMA and TDMA phones, it's the MEID (not the pESN). For GSM phones, it's the decimal IMEI An ESN is 8 hexadecimal digits long and dates back to AMPS. The first part of an ESN is a manufacturer identifier. This simplifies global management of ESN by assigning blocks of numbers to phone makers (e.g. Motorola, Samsung), and the manufacturer controls the assigning rest of the number to a phone within their blocks of numbers. Same concept as the globally unique MAC hard-wired and embedded on all network controllers (aka MAC address). The problem with the 8-digit (in hexadecimal) ESN came along much sooner than originally anticipated with the explosion of cell phone use globally, and how quickly cell phones are replaced (much to the glee of the companies that make them). Cell phones, especially carriers' cheaper ones, along with most pre-paid are considered throw-aways. Once assigned, an ESN cannot be re-used -- ever -- on any phone made by anyone, anywhere -- even if the ESN is known to have been on a phone that was permanently destroyed. This means (in decimal) that theoretically ~4.295 Billion AMPS/CDMA/TDMA phones could be made with globally unique ESNs. Several blocks have been reserved, and lack of good record keeping early on has prevented using some other blocks. That reduces the number that can actually be used, and they're projected to run out soon. If that happened without a replacement for the ESN, phone manufacturers would not be able to make any new AMPS, CDMA or TDMA phones. Zero, nada, zip, null, none . . . and that would be a cataclysm of epic proportion for the entire cellular industry (at least the AMPS, CDMA and TDMA portion). GSM came along after AMPS implemented the ESN, and it already has the longer number capability. This exhaustion of ESN was foreseen some time ago within the TIA which assigns ESN blocks and the GSM ***'n which handles IMEI numbers. The new system will unify ESN with IMEI and allow for "global" phones with both CDMA (or TDMA) and GSM inside them. It uses a 14-digit hexadecimal number allocated as follows for CDMA/TDMA and GSM phones:GSM: Decimal numbers that, when translated into their 14-digit hexadecimal equivalent are 0x98FFFFFFFFFFFF or lower CDMA/TDMA: 14-digit hexadecimal numbers 0xA0000000000000 or higher Global with both CDMA (or TDMA) and GSM: Decimal numbers that, when translated into their 14-digit hexadecimal equivalent, begin with 0x99. Should be no surprise that the MEID found in newer VZW phones (instead of an ESN) are 14-digit hex numbers, and they all begin with 0xA0. If the new system for CDMA/TDMA phones replaces the ESN with a longer MEID, what's the pESN for? pESN is short for pseudo-ESN. It's an 8-digit hexadecimal number that can be calculated using the MEID. The reason for the pESN is portions of CDMA and TDMA networks, especially VZW still need a number of ESN length in their "back end" systems that handle things like SMS. Those portions of the network haven't been converted yet. In the interim they must use a pESN instead as they cannot handle the larger MEID. There's a looming problem with the pESN though. It's only a stop-gap until everything in VZW's system can handle the longer MEID, and remain compatible with legacy handsets using the shorter ESN. While the manner in which a pESN is calculated was designed to reduce the probability of two different MEID having the same pESN occurring, it doesn't guarantee it won't happen. The first two hex digits of a pESN are 0x80 which uniquely identifies it immediately as a pESN, not an ESN. The trailing six hex digits are calculated by performing an SHA-1 hash of the entire MEID (in hexadecimal). The leading 0x80 is appended with the trailing six hex digits of the MEID SHA-1 hash. VZW doesn't need the pESN from a phone, only the MEID, and from that the pESN can be calculated (computers can do it extremely quickly). Because multiple different MEID can generate the same pESN, if enough MEID handsets are activated before network use of the pESN is dropped completely, duplicate pESN will start showing up. Duplicate ESN (or pESN) on a network is called an ESN collision. It wreaks huge havoc on how data is routed to that ESN, and with service provision to the devices with the duplicate ESN. Currently, the probability is very near zero as only a very few MEID phones on VZW, but the probability rises rapidly as more pESN/MEID phones are activated on their network. Some studies have been performed about the risks to predict the threshold at which they become unacceptable, but the study methods are still being debated. The threshold number of MEID phones is much lower than most think before the risk of duplicate pESN rises quite dramatically. Pick 23 people at random and there's a 50% (or greater) probability at least two of them have the same birthday. Add another 34 people at random to the initial 23 (total of 57) and the probability of duplicate birthdays rises to over 99%. Statisticians and mathematicians call this the "Birthday Paradox" and the problem of duplicate pESN appearing has strong statistical similarities. This is also why an MEID phone cannot be used on an ESN-only network by registering its pESN in lieu of a true ESN -- and it's no doubt Sprint, Alltel, etc. have their system set up to block registration of any ESN beginning with 0x80. The firmware inside an MEID phone: Can handle the longer MEID Can generate the phone's pESN "on the fly" from its MEID ESN phone firmware cannot do this. Little wonder to me that cross-flashing ESN firmware into an MEID phone and cross-flashing MEID firmware into an ESN phone bricks them. The length of an ESN is not the same as an MEID. Undoubtedly the firmware barfs when that's encountered as the phone attempts to boot. The problem of exhausting the ESN is both manufacturer and network. They both must begin using MEID. It appears that VZW has either hit the wall first, or has decided to get out in front of the problem. The other TDMA and CDMA networks must begin using MEID very soon or they won't be able to offer new handsets to anyone. Be patient. The MEID wasn't something VZW decided to do apart from the rest of the CDMA networks. All CDMA and TDMA network providers will convert to MEID, and it won't much longer before they do -- or die. VZW is apparently the first one to begin the MEID conversion. MEID firmware will eventually show up for Sprint, Alltel, USCC, etc. (even VIVO must convert to MEID).

August 6, 2009 To, The Secretary, TRAI, Mahanagar Doorsanchar Bhawan, Old Minto Road, New Delhi- 110 002. Sub.: Number portability and problems there of. Dear Sir I came across consultation papers and suggested regulation for MNP. I would request you to consider following issues which I think has remained unaddressed. Addressing problem of network locked handsets: As you are aware all major CDMA operators sells network locked handset. Since they either charge premium for similar handsets sold in open market for GSM or sell at almost at same price at comparable GSM handsets. Means if CDMA user, if not satisfied with his current CDMA service provider, he will not be able to port his number to other CDMA operator as again he has to buy another handset. It is worth mentioning here that CDMA handsets by standards need not to be locked. It was demand of major operators in US and later it became way to earn for CDMA operators. This issue may be over come by following: a. By making compulsory to sell unlocked and RUIM based handsets only. This regulation infact should be applicable to both CDMA as well as GSM operators b. All non RUIM handsets sold before regulation must be unlocked by operator if subscriber wishes to port his / her number to other CDMA operator free of cost. c. Operator may be asked to make changes in their system so that they can program handsets over the air (OTA) all handsets which do not belong to their network. d. If at all operator has to sell locked handsets initially, they must be unlockable - by codes provided by operator and procedure should be simple enough for subscriber to follow. This model is followed by European operators - very widely. Operators by regulation restricted to charge excessive for handsets. There are examples where handsets sold here tags almost double than that of USA. I remember HTC 6700 Pocket PC, sold by reliance at Rs. 32000 where as same handset in US without any contract was sold at US $ 350. Same was PPC 6600 by TATA was sold at Rs. 30000 at the time when it was already obsolete in US and was sold by US operators at less than US $ 200. Such practices should must be strictly banned in order to encourage number portability. Even recently same applies for Blackberry handsets sold by both GSM and CDMA operators. Portability of number should be across the technologies and across the operators without any restrictions. Also it should not restrict type of customers viz .: Prepaid and postpaid. Document requirement should be minimum for porting number.

Yet another appreciable move by RimWeb.

I sent my reply to TRAI today. Lets hope or the best.

in airtel when ever you change handset system will identify handset model and send mobile office, waped and mms settings smsment automaticall. Into gsm usually sim contains all access ppoints. Reliance do not do the same?

Though mankind's current life has became easier than ever before because of modern technology. Modern technology is playing havoc on very basic survival of civilization and natural food chain. See how tree are cut. They are not just cut by monster machines but also do not create any employment to improve life of lower most part of the society. I am very much moved with this movie.

Now its working. Thanks

Firefox 3.5.1 Testing Link appeared. New version seems to have problem with me only.

You will be lucky if you get standards free. If you know some one in US, ask them to go to public library, they have almost all standards available. Another route to get international standards almost free of cost is to get membership of BIS, Delhi. They give you original standards for reference from library. Ideally one is not suppose to take photo copies. But you can always copy for inhouse purpose. You can also check BIS if they have adopted unified standards for this. BTW what these standards are for?

Arun, Another bug perhaps, when I tried to inser link selecting text and insert link button, link disappears when posted.

@kamal I am very sorry to hear. Please take care. I dont know what caused all your problems, but there is one very famous kidney hospital in Nadiad (60 Kms from Ahmedbad) If you want you may come down to ahmedabad, I will take you there. One another advise, if your health permits and doctors allows, do YOG and PRANAYAM. It has miraculous heeling powers. It takes long, may be 2-3 years. But you can certainly lead next to normal life. However it depends on reasons of problems. In certain cases it do not work as reasons are different.

Airtel is big propagandist

I got my N97 before about a week. It was very easy to switch from E71 to N97 due to couple of unknown features to me. I had apprehension that its gonna take some time along with certain loss of data. But fortunately nothing happened. Nokia has very good utility installed on both E71 and N97 - known as phone switch. Using it one can transfer almost every thing from existing phone to new phone using blue tooth. Every thing means call history, contacts, calender, notes, active notes, SMS, MMS and even files. It may take upto 15 minutes to do so. Now about N97. N97 is reasonably sized, big screen of very good and high resolution with good brightness. Battery life seems to be as good as E71despite having big screen. Few points need to be mentioned about N97: May be unique for few / may disliked by few 1. Non standard qwerty keyboard. It has standard QWERTY key lay out but space bar is not in centre as we all are used to. Has no numeric key row. 2. Scroll key pad is in left. I am lefty so its convinient for me for right hander certainly would be inconvinient. 3. Though it has 32 GB memory on board and expandable further by 16 GB - this memory is treated as mass storage memory and is independent to phone memory. Phone memory is said to be 128 MB. But brand new out of box has hardly 40 MB left for user. Means Nokia claims for momory are deceptive. Phone has on the whole 256 MB memory, of which bout 135 MB goes to ROM (Backup) and remaining goes to applications installed by default. User can remove certain applications to recover about 10 MB but not more than that. 4. Till now there are very few applications and games available for N97 or S60V5. Which runs as flawlessly as S60V3. Opera Mini is one of them. Opera mini is good for browsing but can not be used well with discussion boards. Mundu SMS is not working properly. Games (I dont play but for testing I installed) can be played by virtual game pad on screen which may not be very convinient. 5. Unlike windows and android, S60V5 has double tap approach. Its convinient at times as prevent false opening of applications but its non standard. Pluses 1. Very large (3.5") good quality screen 2. Stable OS, pretty fast. Much faster than WM6. 3. Good applications on board. Like Weather, wifi management, social networking etc. 4. Widget support on home screen. 5. Possibility to use free Nokia push mail services. 6. Browser is good. tapping on screen zoom in and zoom out pages. 7. Updating OS is breeze in S60V5. Unlike WM / S60V3, software updater back up and restores every thing after updating. This is the best feature for people like rimwebian who otherwise spend more time on protecting data, backing up and restoring - while updating / upgrading OS. It also supports OS upgrading over the air. I have not tried over the air yet. It also supports updates like windows - where applications on phone can be updated when ever it has new update. Without updating whole operating system. 8. Micro USB charging port and 3.5 mm head phone socket. 9. FM transmitter - where you can transmit your music to chosen FM frequency. To play on radio / car radio etc. 10. Possibility of call recording, using answering machine (This is unique to symbian - and this has really made me fan of symbian) 11. Though N97 has No smart dialing like WM6. N97 has predictive key board while searching contact. See screen shots. Its convinient and innovative. It opens desired contacts with as few stroke as possible. However WM6 smart dialing search for corresponding number too, which is not there in Symbian at all. Minuses 1. WM6 is more user friendly than S60V5 due to very known interface of WM 2. S60V5 seems too be touch screen extension of S60V3, they have long way to go to make to touch screen OS comparable with WM6 or even Android. Gestures are just like S60V3 only difference is in S60V5 you click virtual key against hardware keys. 3. For example, if one wants to choose few files listed, then in WM moving stylus will do the job, in S60V5 one has to select each and every file, then mark required files then click menu and choose options like copy, delete paste etc. There are no context menu like WM6 4. Office documents can not be edited. It can be viewed only. Officially Quick office premier to edit documnet is not supported - it work though. Since I have not used it extensively yet, I can not say its stable. For camara quality see attached image. It has carl zeiss optics.

Still officially Opera Mini is not supported by S60 V5 so might not be working properly. Nokia OVI stores listed it before some times then removed content.

adding quick reply using nokia browser.

No I am not using mobile view. Still has same problem. Let me check some thing else. From today I dont have E71 so will check only on N97.
