I agree with diamonddave. I've been using Vista for over a year now, and I think its fine, but this is clearly just a ploy to make DX10 and Vista more desirable.
Also, if this program is just an .exe that runs in the background and isn't a patch to modify files, does it still break the EULA?
I know, its their right as software developers to set the terms of use, I just can't stand it when this is abused at the expense of the end user (ie, the people that keep them in business).
Yes I was posting it because I found it very funny and is Crytek staff who said is extremely ilegal

Even though it is a cool feature and even though we understand the community is requesting these kinds of things, we just cannot allow threads like this one to remain open on our portal, for obvious legal reasons.
Alacn, great work, but you must cease at this time. You should seriously put that talent to use when the source code is made available for the game.dll with the upcoming newer version of the Mod SDK.

Are your courts slower?

Twenty years ago I don't remember playing at many, well any, courts that had significant grit. They were all fairly slick and had very, very small grains of sand mixed in the top paint. That or the courts were just old. As I think back I did not care much about court surfaces or other uncontrollable variables.
In the last 2 years, I've played at over 20 different outdoor hard court locations. All the resurfaced ones are just beautiful. But when I bend down and run my hand over the court surface it's really sandy and rough like sand paper. Maybe more sand, bigger sand brings less liability for the court owners? Less slippage in light rain?
As for the courts that had not been resurfaced recently most still seemed pretty slow. Again lots of big sand particles in the paint. Somehow I get excited whenever I see a court that has fairly smooth paint with little sand. Balls move faster, when running I don't stop as abruptly, and balls fluff up less.
Courts with more sand (or larger particles) seem to bring advantage to spinny strokes. Kick serves REALLY kick, topspin loopers really dig into the rough surface and accentuate the spin by popping the ball high.

1. What is the Department of Interior?
The Department of the Interior (DOI) is the nation's principal conservation agency. Our mission is to protect America's treasures for future generations, provide access to our nation's natural and cultural heritage, offer recreation opportunities, honor our trust responsibilities to American Indians and Alaska Natives and our responsibilities to island communities, conduct scientific research, provide wise stewardship of energy and mineral resources, foster sound use of land and water resources, and conserve and protect fish and wildlife. The work that we do affects the lives of millions of people; from the family taking a vacation in one of our national parks to the children studying in one of our Indian schools.
Interior is a large, decentralized agency with over 67,000 employees and 280,000 volunteers located at approximately 2,400 operating locations across the United States, Puerto Rico, U.S. territories, and freely associated states. We discharge our responsibilities on a $16.8 billion total annual budget. DOI raises more than
$18.2 billion in revenues collected from energy, mineral, grazing, timber, recreation, land sales, and other revenue producing activities.
2. What is the Government-wide Acquisition Management Intern Program?
The Government-wide Acquisition Management Intern Program (GAMIP) is a two-year program designed to employ federal government Contract Specialists and to develop them into procurement professionals and government business leaders of the future. Interns complete four six-month rotational assignments in sponsoring Departments and Agencies. Interns receive technical and business skills training including contract administration, price and cost analysis, customer service, project management and presentation skills. Additionally, each intern benefits from formal and informal mentoring throughout the program. Participants are hired at the GS-7 level with full promotion potential to GS-13. Upon completion of the two-year training program, interns will complete a one-year apprenticeship with one of the sponsoring agencies.
3. What is the Office of the Secretary Management Intern Program?
The Office of the Secretary Management Intern Program (OSMIP) is a two-year program designed to recruit, develop, and retain a group of diverse future leaders for the Department's management functions. Interns participate in a structured training curriculum based on the leadership and business related competencies as identified in the Office of Personnel Management's Fundamental Competencies. They also complete six four-month rotations in DOI's Policy, Management, and Budget offices where they receive practical work experience and on the job training. In addition, interns are each assigned a mentor who guides them throughout the program. Upon successful completion of all program requirements, interns are permanently placed in one of the Department's Policy, Management, and Budget Offices.
4. What education and experience do I need to qualify for the internship program?|
Each individual announcement for our intern positions describes qualification requirements for that particular position. These qualifications include specific educational requirements and/or experience requirements.
5. After I submit my application, when will I know the status of my application?
Please allow at least 6-8 weeks before inquiring as to the status of your application.
6. How long will it take for my application to be rated?
All resumes will not be reviewed until mid-to-late-April. We plan for all resumes to be rated by May.
7. Will you non-competitively convert SCEP students?
No. We will not non-competitively convert SCEP students. This is a competitive program and all applications will compete.
8. Do I need to send in "official" copies of my transcripts?
No. Unofficial copies or copies of official transcripts are sufficient for purposes of applying to the intern program. However, official transcripts will be requested at a later date. If you have attended more than one school to obtain your degree, you must send transcripts from every school attended, in addition to the school from which you received your degree.

In a recent decision for which King & Spalding organized the appealing group of hospitals and was co-counsel, the D.C. district court ruled that CMS's regulation requiring the inclusion of Medicare Part C patient days in the SSI fraction of the Medicare DSH formula starting in 2006 was invalid. In light of this decision, which is available here, and in response to interest expressed by several clients, King & Spalding is now forming group appeals of this issue to the Provider Reimbursement Review Board (Board) for 2006 and later cost reporting periods. Under the Board's rules, if a hospital is the only related hospital appealing a particular issue for a particular fiscal year, that hospital may join with other unrelated hospitals in bringing an appeal of an issue. Related hospitals appealing the same issue for the same fiscal year must be grouped together.
CMS has until January 14, 2013 to appeal the district court decision to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. If CMS does appeal, the appellate decision probably would not be issued until mid-2014. In the meantime, however, it is essential for providers to protect their appeal rights by filing timely Board appeals (i.e., appeals within 180 days of the issuance of the Notice of Program Reimbursement (NPR)). Although CMS had instructed fiscal intermediaries not to settle cost reports for DSH hospitals for 2006 forward pending the calculation of "final" SSI numbers, this bar has recently been lifted and DSH hospitals should be beginning to receive NPRs for these cost reporting periods.
While we strongly urge DSH hospitals to include this item as a "protested item" on cost reports filed in the future, a hospital's failure to do so in prior years is by no means fatal to the provider's appeal rights. For one thing, the change in regulation requiring providers, in the absence of an audit adjustment, to have a protest item for a particular issue only applies to cost reporting periods ending on or after December 31, 2008. This rule, therefore, does not apply to 2006, 2007, or 2008 cost reporting periods. In addition, in most cases the intermediary will have made an adjustment to the SSI fraction based on CMS's recomputation of SSI percentages, which itself should be sufficient for Board jurisdiction. There may be good arguments in support of jurisdiction in other cases as well.
Similar legal arguments exist for contesting CMS's inclusion of "no Part A payment" days (i.e. non-covered days) in the SSI Ratio and its exclusion of dual eligible no Part A payment days from the Medicaid fraction. King & Spalding will be forming similar group appeals contesting this CMS DSH policy as well.
If you are interested in participating in a group appeal of these issues, or would like further information, please contact Dan Hettich at +1 202 626 9128, email@example.com or Greg Etzel at +1 713 751 3280, email@example.com.

Our infrastructure is crumbling around us
Don't drink the water. That's a caution that probably no Corpus Christi resident ever expected to hear about the municipal water supply. But now after two boil-water notices in the space of less than a month, I expect that public confidence in the city water supply may not be at an all-time high.
Opening the tap and expecting clean, safe water to come out is one of the givens of a modern city. That's still not true in many parts of the world where clean water is the exception. But lately a lot of givens about our American society have been shaken.
We hear of bridges failing, for instance, in other parts of the world. Or of dams failing, or buildings collapsing. It's the kind of human catastrophe that we probably associate with living in a hardscrabble part of the world, a small news item from a far corner of South America or Africa. But a bridge on an interstate highway failing in Minneapolis?
I was talking to Sheriff Jim Kaelin this week about the Nueces County jail and his campaign to bring it up to state standards. The jail was a civic embarrassment: moldy showers, a gagging stench, clogged toilets, peeling paint that spoke of long inattention, drainage and sewer lines that bred biting insects. How does a public facility that is supposed to be a taxpayer investment in good government get to this state?
"Politicians usually want to spend money where people will see it," Kaelin said. "And most people don't see the inside of a jail."
Or, it could be added, the inside of a water transmission line, or the inner workings of a wastewater plant, or what's beneath a city street, or most of the concrete, steel and asphalt bedrock to our modern world. And we don't expect to. We just want it to work when we use it.
This week's episode of "don't drink the water" is a good reminder that we have to pay attention to the basics. I don't know that the city's aging infrastructure, including the water system, had any connection with the detection of dangerous microbes in the water. If the age of the transmission lines had any connection, it may have been only indirectly in that the city's reaction to the first boil-water notice, flushing out the system by opening fire hydrants, put a lot of pressure on aging lines. In any case, I know one thing: Corpus Christi residents aren't taking the water system for granted now.
On Tuesday afternoon, a few hours after the city had issued its boil-water notice, my neighborhood H-E-B had sold out all its bottled water and a line had formed as people waited for more water to arrive. A store security guard was there to watch over things. Suddenly, a lot of us realized just how precious clean water is to our lives.
But that doesn't necessarily mean that we're ready to pay the price for keeping the bridges strong, the water clean, the jails humane or the sewers from creating pestilence. Few politicians, before the catastrophe in Minneapolis, campaigned on the platform of raising the fuel tax, which pays for highway and bridge repair.
Last month, coincidentally only a few days before the first boil-water notice, Corpus Christi Assistant City Manager Oscar Martinez faced a hostile reception from some members of the public and City Council to the proposal to raising the utility rates to support bonds that would pay for upgrading parts of the city's infrastructure.
Martinez says he expects a lot of discussion when he presents a 10-year capital projects plan sometime in late September or early October. Martinez understands the pushback on again raising utility rates -- next year's budget includes a 3 percent increase -- and he's got marching orders to find a way to repair the city's aging infrastructure without raising utility rates again.
I'm no fan of higher utility rates, or a hike in property taxes. And there can be a lively discussion about whether utility rates or property taxes is a fairer way of paying for major capital items. But you just can't say, pass it off to the next guy.
When Martinez makes his presentation, there will probably be big dollar numbers thrown around, which will make our collective heads spin. The immediate question will be, how do we pay for it? But that should be balanced out against another question. How long can the city afford to wait before the very services we take for granted are in peril?

posted 6 years ago
I used these to pull excess hair from the ears of one of my Portuguese Water Dogs. Unfortunately, it always seemed to lead to her having an ear infection so I decided to leave well enough alone and I gave up pulling out the ear hair. Fortunately, my other dogs are not that hairy. Anyway, they work great if you're sure you want to get the ear hair out.
Pros: works great
Cons: removing ear hair may lead to ear problems

BOP surplus hits $9.24B in end-2012
Foreign exchange reserves up 11% at $83.8B
The country's external liquidity remained solid in 2012, with the balance of payments registering another surplus and the foreign-exchange reserves hitting an all-time high, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas has reported.
Citing official figures, the BSP said the surplus in the country's BOP hit $9.24 billion at the end of the year (compared with the initial estimate of $8.9 billion), due largely to a sustained increase in remittances sent by overseas Filipinos, a surge in foreign portfolio investments and higher foreign investments in the services sector.
The BOP surplus for 2012, however, was 9-percent lower than the $10.18 billion recorded the previous year.
Remittances rose last year despite the weakness of advanced economies as global demand for Filipino workers, largely in alternative labor markets, remained strong.
Foreign direct investments in the services sector, particularly in the business process outsourcing (BPO) industry, also grew on the back of high demand for English-speaking Filipino workers.
Foreign portfolio investments surged as the economy's faster-than-expected growth rate in the first three quarters and the country's improved credit ratings boosted demand for peso-denominated securities.
The central bank said the country's gross international reserves (GIR) also registered a new record high of $83.8 billion (revised from the initial estimate of $84.2 billion) last year.
The GIR was up 11 percent from $75.3 billion the previous year.

Anna Sale
Anna Sale is the host and managing editor of Death, Sex & Money, WNYC's interview show about the big questions and hard choices that are often left out of polite conversation.
The Obama campaign announced this week that it will encourage the president's supporters to give to the SuperPAC backing his reelection effort, and New York donors will be a prime target. A WNYC analysis of disclosure forms shows Romney's SuperPAC raised 44 times more than Obama's in New York last year.
Vogue editor Anna Wintour and actress Scarlett Johansson are hosting a glitzy fundraiser for President Barack Obama reelection campaign in the meatpacking district Tuesday night. But New York Democratic donors may be hearing from another set of fundraisers soon: the SuperPAC backing Obama's reelection effort.
New Yorkers made up less than four percent of the SuperPAC's haul in 2011, according to documents released last month. By comparison, Romney's SuperPAC raised a quarter of this money from New Yorkers. By comparison, Obama's campaign has raised slightly more from state residents than Romney's.
Overall, Obama's SuperPAC raised a seventh of Romney's SuperPAC last year. Romney's is the most well-funded SuperPAC by far.
And with both Republicans and Democrats now zealously soliciting unlimited political donations for their parallel presidential campaigns this year, it's an open question what these new big-dollar checks for political ads will mean less available money for other things — like charitable causes.
"I think everybody in the charitable community knows that during a presidential campaign cycle, they may see less giving from their major donors," said Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors president Melissa Berman, who represents high-wealth clients on both sides of the political spectrum.
She said reallocating giving is standard during presidential campaigns, even though philanthropic giving has tax benefits and political donations do not. But it remains unclear how much unlimited SuperPAC fundraising will amplify that phenomenon.
"We haven't heard anybody specifically say, I'm giving less to charity because I'm going to be putting a few million dollars into a SuperPAC," Berman said. "It's possible though, that that's going to affect how certain wealth holders make their decisions about their money this year.
Last year, though, was a banner year for high-dollar donations. The Journal of Philanthropy reported this week that the country's 50 largest donors gave 10.4 billion dollars, up $7 billion dollars from the year before.
What seems a bit hypocritical to me is the fact that Obama pretends to be someone who calls for a more equal society but on the other hand he doesn't hesitate to join forces with the designers whose merchandise is normally unaffordable for ordinary people. I am a big fan of fashion as such and I admire our native designers Dean and Dan Caten from Toronto but I can't imagine that they would one day intervene into the presidential campaign in the same way as some US designers and celebrities did in this particular case.
I hope Republicans give big to Romney, because he's going to lose, and I love to see Republicans throw away their money.
U.S. elections are like watching the closing minutes on e-bay: corporation A offered more money to buy the seat in the white house; rich person B ups the bid. It's disgraceful.
The only real answer is for the citizens to cap the amount of spending allowed in any election, and bar businesses or corporations from participating. They don't get to vote, they shouldn't have any say in what goes on.
As far as Obama, he is caught in the same system as everyone else, which is a corrupt and disgraceful system. Nonetheless, his hypocrisy warrants special note. He supported the public financing laws until it became apparent he was going to out-raise everybody else, and then he dropped out and said "I've got more money, so I no longer favor limits on campaign spending." When he started the 2012 push, he had more money than anyone, could act above it all, but when Romney began to load up with wall street money Obama had a change of heart, and suddenly embraced the PAC. He is a hypocrite. Give to him or his PAC if you don't want the Republicans in the white house, but ask yourself why the democrats have refused to push for a radical change in this disgusting system of selling seats in government.
Here's an idea: cap the amount that can be spent; force TV to donate free time to any candidate equal to the time purchased by any other candidate or PAC; declare all contributions to be received on behalf of the public, seize everything above $100,000 and use it to fund social programs like education and medicare for all. Just to start.

Activity Against Candida Non-Albicans Species and Fungicidal Activity are the Most Important Drivers of Prescribing in Severe Candida Infections in the Hospital Setting
MALVERN, Pa., March 4 /PRNewswire/ — Arlington Medical Resources (AMR), a provider of premier market intelligence for the pharmaceutical and diagnostic imaging industries, finds that the most important drug attributes surveyed infectious disease specialists seek in a drug to treat severe Candida infections in the hospital setting are activity against Candida albicans and non-albicans species and fungicidal activity. Candida albicans is the most common species involved in these invasive fungal infections, but the prevalence of non-albicans species has been rising.
"Given the severity of severe Candida infections, surveyed physicians expressed the need for drugs with fungicidal activity against Candida strains that can eradicate the infection and prevent the condition from worsening," said Lisa Arias, analyst. "Additionally, because treatment for severe Candida infections is largely empiric, physicians need agents that possess potent, broad-spectrum activity against suspected pathogens. Timely, appropriate empiric therapy plays a significant role in the successful treatment of these infections."
In the new report entitled Hospital Anti-Infectives Insight Series: Severe Candida Infections, surveyed infectious disease specialists anticipate several events that could influence the treatment of severe Candida infections in the future. Nearly all surveyed specialists believe there will be a significant increase in azole-resistant Candida infections, which emphasizes the need for novel drugs to treat resistant Candida strains. They also expect a rise in bloodstream infections caused by Candida. These events will likely impact prescribing trends and result in increased use of newer antifungals, such as Pfizer's Vfend and the echinocandins (such as Merck's Cancidas, Astellas's Mycamine and Pfizer's Eraxis) in order to target infections due to resistant Candida strains.
About the Report
AMR's Hospital Anti-Infectives Insight Series: Severe Candida Infections analyzes hospital antifungal prescribing patterns using AMR's comprehensive and highly detailed clinical data in conjunction with primary research and extensive understanding of emerging therapies and forecasts. This report contains U.S. data and examines the reasons behind physicians' product preferences, factors driving hospital antifungal prescribing patterns and receptivity to emerging antifungals.

The institution of the Shivaji Park is a crucial component of a Mumbai cricketer's grooming process. The likes of Vijay Manjrekar, Subhash Gupte, Ajit Wadekar and Sandeep Patil, right down to to Pravin Amre, Ajit Agarkar and Sameer Dighe cut their teeth on the turf here.
How, then, could the most celebrated cricketer of the modern era not have come through it?
For Sachin Tendulkar, it was necessity, and destiny, that saw him spend four years of his growing days at the Shivaji Park.
It was tough for Tendulkar to travel from Bandra to Shivaji Park, Dadar. Changing two buses to get to the ground, lugging his kit on those slender shoulders, he was never late, and was always the last to leave. But, the return journey was taking its toll on the 11-year-old.
With cricket already an inseparable part of Tendulkar's life, his parents took the decision of shifting him to his uncle's home in the neighbourhood of Shivaji Park — a momentous decision, as Tendulkar recollects it.
A doting aunt ensured Tendulkar remained focussed. With the commute problem taken care of, he could now devote his energies to chasing his dream.
It was cricket and nothing else, and Shivaji Park embraced his cricketing ambitions and allowed him to prosper.
Curious cricket lovers would flock to watch him practice, under the unforgiving eyes of his coach Ramakant Achrekar. There were moments when his transgressions provoked a slap — the little master would describe it as a square-cut — from the coach.
Tendulkar would spend the entire day at Shivaji Park — at nets or playing matches — when there was no school to attend.
Meanwhile, his aunt ensured that he did not miss home too much.
"She would even press my legs when I was tired, and asleep," Tendulkar would say, recalling his Shivaji Park days.
It is another matter that his aunt once said she would have preferred it if Tendulkar had chosen to pursue carrom or chess; at least he would not have to do it under the blazing sun!
Hugely competitive
Amre, Vinod Kambli, Tendulkar and Dighe formed a gang that was hugely competitive.
Amre has fond memories of those days.
"I can tell you, he was amazingly committed. He would learn so fast. His talent often left us dumbfounded," he recalls.
Dighe has a lasting memory.
He says: "I never saw him taking rest during nets, whether at Shivaji Park, or when playing for Mumbai or India. You will never see him relax or sit on a chair the entire nets session, because he would treat it as a match.
"He would often remind us that no decent cricketer would sit down on the field during a match. So, why do so at practice?"
Amre recalls how he once lost a pair of shoes to Tendulkar.
When the young Tendulkar expressed interest in a pair of half spikes that Amre had procured from abroad, Amre told him: "I will give you the shoes if you hit a century."
Sure enough, a match later the shoes no longer belonged to Amre!
Tendulkar is a three-time champion at Shivaji Park's single-wicket tournament — in the third instance he beat current National selection committee chairman Sandeep Patil for the title.
He has rarely missed an event at Shivaji Park.
In 1998, Tendulkar floored the organisers by showing up at the grounds, despite having arrived in Mumbai only in the early hours from Sharjah — after the tournament in which he cracked two glorious back-to-back centuries against Australia to win India the trophy.
Tendulkar continues to visit Shivaji Park, and never tires of narrating stories from his teenage years at this hallowed cricket field.
Some of his visits are past midnight. The Ganesh temple nearby is close to his heart.
"It gives me peace," he says.
Keywords: Shivaji Park, Sachin Tendulkar

SMC wins Naia expressway project with P11-B bid
popular .
Conglomerate San Miguel Corp. (SMC) has bested rival Metro Pacific Investments Corp. over a new 7.15-kilometer expressway project that will connect Metro Manila's main airport terminals to the Entertainment City casino complex with an "aggressive" bid.
The financial proposals for the P15.52-billion Naia Expressway Phase II project, the third public private partnership (PPP) project to be successfully bid out, were opened yesterday at the headquarters of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
SMC unit Optimal Infrastructure Development Inc. offered an upfront cash of P11 billion, far superior to the P305 million offered by Metro Pacific's Manila North Tollways Corp., to build the expressway and operate it for 30 years.
Both groups offered to pay up front cash, which will be on top of the construction cost.
The cash offered will have to be be paid by Optimal Infrastructure in 30 days, saving the four casino operators in Entertainment City a combined P6.5 billion in "subsidy" or support fund that they would have provided for the project had the two companies opted to submit proposals with subsidy component."
"We gave the bidders the option to submit with subsidy or no subsidy. The two felt there was no need for the subsidy so they offered up front payments," Public Works and Highways Secretary Rogelio Singson told reporters after the bids were opened.
Singson said he was surprised with the SMC's offer but added that the government and the licensees in Entertainment City "came out the winners on Monday."
The department, according to Singson, is now preparing the documents that will formalize the award of the project to the SMC unit. The notice of award will be received by the winning bidder within seven days after the opening of the bids.
Market observers, meanwhile, were mixed on the big discrepancy between the two bids, saying SMC's offer was "very aggressive" even as they described Metro Pacific's proposal as too small.
"It is clear that MPIC does not like to bid very high. For San Miguel, they are not involved in a lot of government bidding so it seems they are really in this to win," Joseph Roxas, president of stock brokerage firm Eagle Equities Inc., said.
The toll fees have been initially set at a range of P35 to P45 for two years, and will be adjusted every two years, said Francis Chua, investment banking manager of Development Bank of the Philippines, the transaction adviser of DPWH.
In the meantime, SMC is moving to raise additional funds via borrowings, the reason for which was not immediately known. It said on Monday it was establishing a medium-term note program that would allow it to raise up to $2 billion. SMC said the notes would be listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Ltd.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Ronald Hendrix, MD (Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine)
Description: This is a new book treating the whole spectrum of shoulder pathology as evaluated by all current imaging modalities (conventional radiography, tomography, CT, MRI, ultrasonography, scintigraphy, etc.). The book contains contributions by a large number of recognized national and international authorities in imaging and shoulder pathology.
Purpose: The editor, David Sartoris, conceived of this book as a comprehensive treatise of how to use all current imaging modalities to diagnose the entire spectrum of shoulder pathology and as filling a void in the diagnostic imaging literature created by previous books on the subject that were limited by being short or focused mostly on posttraumatic abnormalities.
Audience: Although targeted for trainees in diagnostic imaging, orthopedic surgery, rheumatology, and sports or occupational medicine and as a reference book, it will be useful to any clinician who orders imaging studies or reviews imaging studies of the shoulder. The contributors are sound and credible in their areas of contribution.
Features: The book includes an abundance of high quality illustrations in keeping with the subject. The references are current. extensive, appropriate, and helpful. A large section on technical aspects of imaging and another treating normal anatomic variants and artifacts should be useful especially to trainees.
Assessment: This book fills a void in current imaging literature by being comprehensive. Because shoulder dysfunction results in significant patient-restricted functional ability, accurate diagnosis is needed that heavily relies on imaging studies. Therefore, this book will be useful both to practicing radiologists and clinicians and to trainees in multiple specialties dealing with the shoulder. Buy it!

Veteran actress Waheeda Rehman has always maintained a strict distance from politics, by her own admission, but the ongoing Lok Sabha elctions leave no Indian unaffected.
She remarked that the next prime minister of India should hold secular values. In an exclusive interview to dna, she said, "Irrespective of who becomes prime minister, he must ensure that we hold on to the secular values on which this nation was created. We're one of the best countries with a lot going for it. This mustn't be squandered in the politics of divisiveness."
She stressed on the importance of having a secular leader in today's times by further explaining,"There is far too much stereotyping on the basis of communities, caste and religion. This will only foster hate. Many also use these labels to seek reservations and votes."
On being quizzed if she supports reservations for certain castes, she said "We need to start treating people equally as Indian citizens. This pandering to people with reservations in the name of minorities and castes should stop. It can only further hatred among youngsters who may not even be aware of such dividing lines."
She also said that she has been offered to join the Rajya Sabha but she has refused it until now, saying it just wasn't her thing.

SMS from Android 4.1
UPDATES: You may have noticed I haven't updated this for ages. Sorry. I bought a Nexus 4 and so I don't need this any more and don't have motivation to update it. A possible alternative is TextSecure which is free and based on the same code as this, plus it encrypts your texts!
This is the stock messaging (SMS & MMS) app from Android 4.1 Jellybean! The biggest improvements Google made in Jellybean are a new widget, photos in the notifications and a better recipient interface.
Remember to disable your existing SMS app's notifications or you will get two notifications for each message.
Please test the app to make sure it can send and receive messages correctly before relying on it! Test it a lot! Also if you are upgrading from the ICS version, PLEASE read the recent changes.
If you appreciate this and my other totally free stock apps, consider sending me some money (via paypal)! I'm poor and hungry and it takes a long time to do this!
* Some incomplete phone numbers in the ComposeMessageActivity are deleted when you go to enter the message. I found the cause of this but there is not much I can do.
* Contact photos may not sync properly. According to one user this is expected behaviour and it is basically Facebook's fault.
* Widget is flickery when it loads. I looked into it. Can't find problem; may be Samsung's bug since it doesn't happen in emulator.
* Widget "Show more conversations" button goes to the compose message activity instead of the message list. This is very weird.
* SMS notifications might be unreliable for you. Test it a lot!
* MMS doesn't work at all right now.

The Barcamp is an informal meet where content is dictated by participants
BANGALORE: A couple of mattresses rolled out on the lawns and corridors, animated discussions about new-fangled developments in software coding, a discourse on improvising technology in bicycles, heated arguments over gender roles and utter chaos. This is just a small slice of the action-packed "technical unconference" at Barcamp Bangalore.
The cliché about self-absorbed techies cooped up for long hours in their global cubicles, coding and cracking, dissipates when hundreds of them gather under the sunny blue sky to discuss the one thing that they are passionate about — technology.
They call it an "unconference" because it is informal and the content is dictated by participants. This geek convention has a lot to offer. From fancy Google map applications to advice on new start-ups and entrepreneurs, this forum hosts a wide spectrum of topics and provides a platform for everyone to share and learn.
What is a Barcamp?
At first glance, the event seems like a chaotic after-concert party, with t-shirts, banners, food stalls, the works…but participants will convince you that there is a method to their madness. The concept originated in Pao Alto, California, as a counter to "Foo-camps" which were formal technical seminars, and spread to India in 2006.
This Barcamp, is the fifth of its kind in Bangalore.
Bangalore, which is touted as the outsourcing hub, is also host to several smaller start-ups and entrepreneurs trying to make it big in the world of technological innovation. The entire planning process from invitations to content is decided over interactions on blogs and groups called "collectives" on the Internet.
Ashish Solanki, a software engineer who works with a start-up software company says, "People like us use the web extensively, so it is the best way to organise it. His company has ideas which started as prototypes over here, engaged with these collectives, and evolved into start-ups. "We have come together later and conducted 'design camps' to follow up on this interaction," he adds.
Technology has no meaning until it can inspire people to go ahead and innovate. Arun Ramarathnam, one of the organisers, says, "I have made some of my best friends here. I enjoy the camaraderie, besides all the exposure to fresh ideas."
Their passion is evident as they clarify that they would prefer not to be talked about rather than being portrayed wrongly by the media.
Srinivas Yelandur who has attended the past three Barcamps, says, "The topics discussed vary from technical, psychological to social trends, and anybody is free to suggest a topic of their choice."
There is complete chaos in the open sessions, with people walking in and out of these discussions. Mattresses are rolled out in eight locations around the campus and people passionately discuss various topics in these forums.
While one forum discusses the attraction between men and women, other hosts a workshop by a Bangalorean who has come up with the concept of a carpool which can be evolved using his application software which uses Google maps. Participants who heard him talk said that they would carry this beyond the barcamp and chart out their travel route on the software, so a car sharing system can be devised. "Fewer cars on the road means less pollution, so the process that is initiated here is carried forward," says Amandeep Singh.
Amidst all the chaos and abandon, what comes through is the passion these people have for their work and the abundance of innovation and talent.
"We are trying to form an eco-system for like-minded people to help meet and discuss technology. Even those who want to start on their own can find a platform here which will help them realise their potential," says Mr. Ramaratnam.

I was amazed a couple of years back when I looked at a gallery exhibition of Ansel Adams' Museum Set. All were 16x20 from 8x10 negatives, I think. While they were wonderful prints, full of the virtuoso clarity of his technique and printing, they didn't look as sharp as I remember some of his other prints I've seen in the past. (My eyes are not as sharp as they used to be, either, so that may have played a role.) I may also have been spoiled by looking at the apparent resolution and digitally enhanced sharpness of inkjet prints.
Whether or not a big print from an 8x10" negative is needle-sharp is less important (to me at least) than the amazing overall quality of a print made from a big negative. It's an experience in itself. One of my strongest reactions to a print was to an Adams "Aspens" at his 80th birthday exhibition in San Francisco about 30 years ago. It was about 30x40", and it hit me right in the gut from clear across the room from the entrance to the show.

- Introduction
- Atomic model
- Development of atomic theory
Identification of positive ions
In addition to electrons, positively charged particles also emanate from the anode in an energized Crookes tube. The German physicist Wilhelm Wien analyzed these positive rays in 1898 and found that the particles have a mass-to-charge ratio more than 1,000 times larger than that of the electron. Because the ratio of the particles is also comparable to the mass-to-charge ratio of the residual atoms in the discharge tubes, scientists suspected that the rays were actually ions from the gases in the tube.
In 1913 Thomson refined Wien's apparatus to separate different ions and measure their mass-to-charge ratio on photographic plates. He sorted out the many ions in various charge states produced in a discharge tube. When he conducted his atomic mass experiments with neon gas, he found that a beam of neon atoms subjected to electric and magnetic forces split into two parabolas instead of one on a photographic plate. Chemists had assumed the atomic weight of neon was 20.2, but the traces on Thomson's photographic plate suggested atomic weights of 20.0 and 22.0, with the former parabola much stronger than the latter. He concluded that neon consisted of two stable isotopes: primarily neon-20, with a small percentage of neon-22. Eventually a third isotope, neon-21, was discovered in very small quantities. It is now known that 1,000 neon atoms will contain an average of 909 atoms of neon-20, 88 of neon-22, and 3 of neon-21. Dalton's assumptions that all atoms of an element have an identical mass and that the atomic weight of an element is its mass were thus disproved. Today the atomic weight of an element is recognized as the weighted average of the masses of its isotopes.
Francis William Aston, an English physicist, improved Thomson's technique when he developed the mass spectrograph in 1919. This device spread out the beam of positive ions into a "mass spectrum" of lines similar to the way light is separated into a spectrum. Aston analyzed about 50 elements over the next six years and discovered that most have isotopes.

I can see from your OP photo that the 1920s model had a concave wedge, and the 1900 model was a flat top. Other than that, I am not sure that I am necessarily looking at the correct features when trying to distinguish one model from another.
Would I be correct in identifying the racquet below as a 1910 model?
The wood on this well-worn example had dried out and become delaminated in several places alongside stress splits; which someone had attempted to repair eons ago by installing a couple of screws/pins in the affected areas. This particular Demon had earned its permanent retirement long ago, but I still love the way it looks.
By the way, regarding those pesky moths, the most effective way to deal with them without resorting to potentially harmful chemicals is to put the affected items in a freezer for a week, thaw them out for a few days, then freeze them again for another week. This should kill all the larvae and protect the items from further destruction, so long as the items are kept in an air-tight container afterwards. I do this to my woolens whenever I suspect the airspace of my man-cave has been breached by these evil creatures. I believe that if you freeze and thaw the tennis balls gradually (by transitioning them through the refrigerator?), there should be no harm done to the rubber parts, though you might want to test this out on one ball before committing the whole collection.
Dating the Demons accurately is difficult. For the older ones I'm looking for wider thickness of the wood beam of the racket head itself, longer narrower grips, and never having had any of that white binding above the throat amongst others things. The older ones are convex throat as you say, and older ones don't have the "REGD" under the Demon symbol (It would be interesting to know what year they added the "REGD"). It is easier when you've got a few to compare to be honest. That flat-top looking one is mainly like that due to stringing pulling it slightly out of shape, this happens quite a lot by the way.
I agree yours in the photo is about 1910. It is the about the same year as one of mine, only yours is a standard Demon, and mine is a Special Demon (in fact all 3 on the right of my original photo are actually "Special Demons"). The Special Demons have a slightly different fishtail, and are made to a higher quality apparently according to the adverts of the time!
Thanks for the advice on the moths, will try that out!
