Submitting Patches
|This page is probably outdated
ReactOS main repository was moved to GitHub in October 2017. See Commiting Changes for details.
Since ReactOS does not have a definite maintainer for each section of the code, you should search for a bug report matching the issue you'd like to fix, and perhaps file a new bug in Jira and attach your patch. Set the severity level to major to draw the developers attention to the patch. If you are unsure about something, talk to a developer in the #reactos IRC Channel.
Test your patch
Thoroughly check that your change works as intended.
Test your changes with the latest code from SVN. Something may have changed in the latest revision that either breaks your change or causes your change to break something else. Make sure that ReactOS can still boot and that any application or system that may be affected by your change still runs properly.
Preparing the patch
Make sure that your patch is against the latest code from SVN. Where you have made changes to an existing source file, you have to use the diff function of your SVN client to obtain a file that contains only the changes that you have made. If possible, start the diff in root directory to preserve path information of changed files. Please create one patch file only, even for multiple files (new ones as well) as long as they belong to one change.
Also make sure that you have installed an SVN client. The page Subversion – Access the sources gives you more information about getting an SVN client for your operating system.
Then read the section Creating a patch/diff file of the usage page for your SVN client.
All these usage pages are listed here: Subversion – Usage of the SVN clients.
Attaching the patch to the bug report
If your changes are all in one patch file, you can simply attach the patch file to the bug report.
If your changes can't be stored in just one patch file (for example binary files can't be stored in patch files), create a ZIP file containing your new files and attach it to the bug report.
Add the label PATCH to the bug report. If you are unable to edit the label, ask someone to add it for you (Either in Jira or in IRC).
Important: provide your real name and e-mail address. Patches from unknown authors are not accepted!
Tracking Patches
Once you submit a patch, you can track it via the "Pending Patches" list.
If you feel like it's taking us a while to review your patch, please don't hesitate to comment on the ticket with that. We are doing our best to review the patches as soon as possible, but we have limited resources so delays can happen unfortunately.
Common mistakes
- Violation of Coding Style, especially broken formatting
- Trying to change Wine components, these patches should be submitted to the Wine patches mailing list

Afternoon world, I've sorted out everybody else now it's my turn to blog about archaeology.
My name is Paul and I'm the Outreach Officer/Web Manager for the Glamorgan-Gwent Archaeological Trust.
When I'm not meeting people and promoting the archaeology of the Southeast Wales area or sitting in my cupboard under the stairs drinking tea, which archaeologists tend to consume aplenty, building sites, blogging and tweeting and other Web2.0 shenanigans, I'm carrying out work for the Twentieth Century Military Standing Sites Project. The group was set up in 2003 to identify the most important sites in Wales and to work to preserve and promote their significance to a wider audience. The group is made up of the four Welsh Trust, for which I am our area representative, Cadw, RCAHMW, and other interested parties.
I'm just off to carry out a basic photographic survey of a building that is due for demolition and once belonged to RAF ST Brides Major in the Vale of Glamorgan. I'll keep you posted on how it goes.

SDS Final Exam Procedures for Faculty
Contributed by Linda Uhll on 12/05/12
Faculty can assist Student Disability Services in preparations for finals week by observing the following procedures:
1. You will receive an email request for each exam scheduled by a student taking a final with Student Disability Services.
3. In the event that you cancel or change your exam to a take home final but still receive a test request, please notify the office at 274-1257 or via email (email@example.com). We're not always made aware of cancellations and will continue to contact you to request a copy of the exam unless we hear from you.
3. Do not send tests via campus mail as the exam may not arrive in time; also, this is not a secure method of delivery.
5. Please remember to include special instructions (e.g. open book/open notes), blue books, and Scantron sheets with the exams.
6. Whenever possible, please put images, pictures, etc. on a CD or flash drive, ensuring both test security by avoiding use of the internet and an accurate visual image (e.g. color images for art history exams).
7. Completed exams will be delivered to the Dean's Offices or, upon your request, held in 110 Towers Concourse for you to pick up.
Thank you for your assistance.

Its history is somewhat complicated: Back in 2009 I wanted a synchronization plugin which didn't exist at the time. So I took the sources from FAR 1's Advanced Compare and modified them in several places to get the functionality I wanted. The result was the original DirSync. Maximus5 later took this plugin, updated it for FAR 2 compatibility and released it as DirSyncW. He continued developing the plugin for some time and eventually he implemented some new features and also provided a MacroLib script for better control of the editor with synchronization info. For some reason I didn't like his script, so I rewrote the script, but kept using the plugin.
Last year, I finally decided that the plugin is ripe for a complete rewrite. I tossed out all of the previous code and started from scratch. I kept a lot of the original functionality because it was proven to be useful, but I changed a lot of things which seemed to be cumbersome and added a whole lot of new features, such as full FAR2/FAR3 32bit/64bit compatibility, full support for long paths, a significantly extended support for the editor with synchronization data (which no longer needs an external script, supports blocks, has info in the keybar, etc.). It is now possible to e.g. visually compare (using WinMerge or any other tool you like) two files when an overwrite prompt is shown or the ability to first handle the easy stuff and keep all confirmations for later.

It has just been officially announced that Basildon Park was recently allocated a group of objects accepted by the Government in lieu of inheritance tax. The Acceptance in Lieu scheme enables the Government to receive pre-eminent heritage objects in lieu of tax and to hand them on to museum bodies.
Large numbers of works of art and other objects which had been on loan have been transferred to the National Trust's ownership in this way over the years. The market value of 'in lieu' allocations to the National Trust during the last dozen years alone approaches £30 million. Apart from their very real financial value, these objects also play a crucial role in maintaining the spirit of place of the historic houses with which they are associated, and as such they can now be enjoyed by the public in perpetuity.
The allocation to Basildon includes a painting by French artist Anne Vallayer-Coster (1744-1818) which has been described as an outstanding example of her work. Vallayer-Coster was a prodigy who was elected as a member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture at the age of twenty-six, one of only three women to receive that honour in pre-Revolutionary France.
In some ways Vallayer-Coster was constrained by the conventions of her time, avoiding the 'male' genre of history painting and focusing mainly on still-lives, depictions of flowers and portraiture. Nevertheless she was professionally very successful, being widely collected in French aristocratic and royal circles.
It is interesting that the few works by her in British public collections seem to have been originally acquired in the late 19th and early-to-mid-20th century, perhaps indicating the renewal of interest in ancien régime art at that time. This interest was recently deepened through the major exhibition devoted to Vallayer-Coster which toured several American museums in 2002.

From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
People disliked his boyish and juvenile behaviour.
Related e
A boy is a young male human (usually child or adolescent), as contrasted to its female counterpart, which is called a girl; thus in the wide sense of both terms all mankind, and in the strictest sense youth, can be seen as the complementary pair 'boys and girls'.
The term "boy" is primarily used to indicate biological sex distinctions, cultural gender role distinctions or both. The latter most commonly applies to adult men, either considered in some way immature or inferior, in a position associated with aspects of boyhood, or even without such boyish connotation as age-indiscriminate synonym. The term can be joined with a variety of other words to form these gender-related labels as compound words.
Ongoing debates about the influences of nature versus nurture in shaping the behavior of girls and boys raises questions about whether the roles played by boys are mainly the result of inborn differences or of socialization. Images of boys in art, literature and popular culture often demonstrate assumptions about gender roles.

Overeating is easy if you're not paying attention. People rarely focus on every bite that goes into their mouths, says Dr. Brian Wansink, director of the Cornell University Food & Brand Lab. Dr. Wansink has identified several mistakes people make that cause them to mindlessly overeat. Keep clicking to see if you're making any of the food goofs...

Think a little glass will keep you from drinking too much? Short glasses tend to be wider than tall ones, and studies show that the visual illusion causes people to pour an average of 34 percent more liquid into short glasses than tall narrow ones.
Olive oil is a healthier companion to your bread than butter, that's for sure. But hidden cameras at Italian restaurants show that people who put olive oil on a piece bread put 26.2 percent more olive oil onto their bread than butter.

People tend to eat more out at restaurants than they do at home - and it's not just because of the large portion sizes. Yummy descriptions on restaurant menus lure people into ordering more food. The Food & Brand Lab's study found that descriptive menu-item labels increase food sales and improve the attitudes customers have toward food and the restaurant. For example, a dessert labeled "Black Forest Double-Chocolate Cake" increased sales by 27 percent more than if it were just labeled chocolate cake.
Pantries exist for a reason - be wary of what you leave out. As the Food & Brand Lab put it, "the farther you have to walk the less you eat." College secretaries were found to eat twice as many chocolate kisses (9 versus 4) when these kisses were placed on their desks than when they were placed 6 feet away. They were also more likely to lose track of how many they had eaten.
Same goes for any kind of snack. When foods are sitting out, people tend to "graze" and eat them more frequently.
Going to the movies? A suspenseful film might suck you in - as does a large tub of popcorn. Moviegoers who were given large popcorn containers ate 45 percent more than those given medium containers, the Food & Brand Lab found. Not only that - researchers found this even happened when the popcorn was 10 days old. Big packages encourage overeating, even if the food is stale.
Family-size packages might save you money, but they're also dangerous for your belly. Five studies with 691 adults across 48 product categories show that people pour more out of larger packages, says the Food & Brand Lab. Large package sizes increase consumption an average of 22 percent. Why? Because people subconsciously think that cost is cheaper in large packages, so they're more generous with their servings.

Big plates lead to big meals. Even a kid's cereal bowl can be a trap, according to Dr. Wansink. One study showed children who were given a 16 ounce bowl were more likely to go overboard on cereal than children given an 8 ounce bowl.

Shane Douglas interview recap from www.IYHWrestling.com
by Taso the Greek
Jack E. Jones and OneInchBiceps were joined by "The Franchise" Shane Douglas to start the show. JCW is having the annual Gathering this Friday and it will be broadcast "Legends and Icons" on iPPV and Shane was happy to be on the card and to see so many stars of the past were also scheduled for this weekend. Shane touted JCW as a grassroots company that has promoted wrestling in the right way, and that technology has changed over the years so much that now it is possible to have these shows broadcast all over the world cheaper with the internet than traditional PPV. Shane will be in a match facing Raven, Rhyno, Balls Mahoney, Al Snow, & a mystery man. Shane is looking forward to wrestling the guys from the "Island of Misfit Toys", and lauded ECW as a company that changed the face of wrestling and didn't fall in step with other promotions or kissed "Eric Bischoff's ass" and carved out their own niche in the business.
To order the iPPV please visit:
Jack asked for Shane's opinion of WWE's version of ECW. Shane compared it to having your eyeballs stabbed and that ECW was never meant to be apart of any mainstream form of wrestling or entertainment. He felt that Vince's main objective was to kill the legacy of ECW and to have people stop chanting E-C-Dub in the arenas all over the world. He felt that with all the ECW-raised talent like The Dudleys, Tazz, Justin Credible, etc., in the WWE at the time, there was no reason Vince, with his millions of dollars, could not resuscitate the ECW brand, and that Vince should not have cared whose name was on the marquee as long as he was going to reap the financial benefits. Shane concluded his argument with the memories he had of being in WWE for a short stay and McMahon would never utter the letters E-C-W, but he would refer to the company as "that bingo hall" or "that blood & guts promotion".
Jack asked Shane about ICP. Shane felt they were at first written off as non-mainstream but "latched on to the underbelly" of society, and were either lucky or brilliant, and are smart business people. He likened them to having unique ideas and that any genre in any artform can neither be right or wrong but success was measured simply in its purest form. JCW wrestling was drawing good crowds and ICP was making music for so long and had such a large following, so they must have been doing something right. He said they simply had the balls to try something different. Jack pointed to the fact that most wrestling people did not like ICP but that JCW was beginning to have a following in the business. Shane said that he was still running into fans everywhere who used to watch wrestling but not anymore because the current product was terrible. Jack asked about the TNA PPV tribute to ECW, and Shane buried TNA as a huge money-loser that has spent millions on old wrestlers, which he thought was preposterous in 2011, and that Dixie Carter was a rich spoiled brat that had no clue about the business. The pay the ECW originals were getting, at $250, was also ludicrous and Shane wanted no part of that PPV endeavor. He thought ECW originals should protect the legacy of the company. His thoughts on Dixie Carter, she is smart, corporate-like, attractive, articulate, but he feels her ideas and style didn't fit in with pro wrestling. TNA has great talent, Heyman could do something with them, they have the a great network, so they should be doing great. Bob Carter should get her out because she is "easily worked". About her on-air character, Jack says a woman in power feels wrong, and Shane feels it's not in her chemistry and that she's not good in her role, and that she at one time said she wouldn't go on air, but she eventually did and he doesn't know why. Jack mentions Ultimate X and Shane says TNA has missed the boat, period, so it doesn't matter what they do. He questions their booking of Samoa Joe and uses it as an example of why TNA is a failure. He puts Bobby Roode over, compares him to Curt Hennig, says he could have been a top guy during his first singles run, and then buries the Roode vs. Eric Young program that he felt made no sense. He also puts over Tracy Brooks, but again, TNA's booking of her as Roode's manager was awful.
Brainz called in with a "what if Heyman was the booker?" Shane says he hasn't talked to Heyman since 2004. If Heyman was the guy he was in 1993, TNA would be succesful. Question #2 was if Shane had his old skateboard and Shane says he does have it, but he wasn't proficient and WCW didn't make the effort to make them look like they could skate. Jack asks did he think Johnny Ace would end up behind the scenes as a corporate guy, and Shane says Ace was once working for Honeywell and had a corporate background but working for Vince means making changes in your ideals and Ace has to be a yes-man to survive in that environment.
Fontana calls in, brings up the NWA title tournament in Auguest of 1994, and what was going on in his mind the night he threw the title to the mat. Shane says he can't remember what he was thinking at that time, but that Heyman gave him choices, did not order him to drop the title, gave him all the options but said the birth of the ECW angle was the way to go. Shane did not want to shit on the NWA and the guys like Race and Steamboat who he admired, but the night of the tourney, Dennis Coralluzzo was trying to sign him to an exclusive contract with the NWA and was badgering him all night, even following him to the bathroom. He was adamant about signing him, but Coralluzzo had also buried him on Mike Tenay's radio show, "don't book Shane Douglas, he will no-show you." This ultimately made his decision. Shane says when he went to the ring he remembered something his father told him, and that is what inspired him to cut that famous promo.
William calls in, question is what is Shane's favorite match and favorite title. Shane says the UWF, the angle with Sting and the TV Title, his first title, were fond memories. He also says the Eastern Championship Heavyweight Title was huge because he felt that they had something with ECW. The night he threw down the NWA title was a defining moment of his career and another favorite. He is proud he never held the WCW Title, he is proud he never wrestled on a Wrestlemania, and he did things his way.
In conclusion, Shane puts over Terry Funk and Roddy Piper as guys who are alive and still contributing to the business. He feels wrestlers have lost too many of their colleagues and that a union would be good. He wants people to start a new revolution in wrestling by tuning into JCW and that it has to start somewhere, so why not here and now.

This tutorial covers basic useful information for people using Windows firewall for Windows XP with SP2. Now I know some people did update to SP2 but if you didnt IMO your missing some of the latest security patches from Microsoft which are avilable ONLY if you have SP2 installed.
Windows Firewall for XP SP2
Windows firewall, a stateful filtering firewall previously known as Internet connection Firewall (ICF) increases protection against probes that scan for information on open ports and active IP addresses, and denies all unsolicited inbound traffic.
It allows outbound traffic to flow normally, and automatically accepts inbound responses to outbound requests. Windows firewall by default is always turned on, unlike ICF that had to be configured to be turned on.
Stateful filtering works by examining a packets state and the context information of a session. Windows firewall uses a security policy with three primary rules:
These three rules allow for normal internet access such as: browsing, email, IM, while preventing any unsolicited packet flow. You can also declare exceptions to the security policy, to allow server applications to work.1.) Any packet that matches an established connection flow is forwarded.
2.) A sent packet that does not match an established connection flow creates a new entry in the
connection flow table and is forwarded.
3.) A received packet that does not match an established connection flow is dropped.
To configure windows firewall, use the "Security Center", which is in the control panel or directly open the firewall itself from the control panel.
Windows firewall has three major states:
1.) On,
2.) On with no exceptions,
3.) And Off.
Heres what each one means:
Dont allow exceptions1.) The "ON" state protects the computer but allows specific declared exceptions to the security policy.
2.) The "On with no exceptions", state can be used when a computer is used in an unsecured enviroment such as a public wireless network, or a Local Area Network (LAN) where a virus been detected.
3.) The "Off" state can be useful for diagnosing firewall related promblems such as: log no surf, unable to connect to FTP servers etc...
When you select dont allow exceptions, windows firewall blocks all requests to conect to your computer, including those from programs or services on the exceptions tab.
The firewall also blocks file and print sharing, and discovery of network devices.
Using windows firewall with no exceptions is useful when you connect to a public network, such as one at a airport or hotel. This setting can help you protect your computer by blocking all attempts to connect to your computer. When you use windows firewall with no exceptions, you can still view websites, email, use IM programs.
Firewall configuration
Click start, go to the control panel, click on "security center", click on windows firewall, click on the exceptions tab. In this window,exceptions for specific programs and services can be configured.
For example, lets say you have a home network and you would like to share a printer attached to your windows xp PC an exception must be made for "File and printer sharing traffic".
Highlight specific service and click "edit" to allow changes to be made to specific ports.
Click "change scope" to allow changes in scope to be made to an exception.
Then select the "scope" that will be affected. For example, File and printer sharing traffic can be limited to only the local network.
The "advanced tab" displays allow the windows firewall to be configured for specific network adapters, gives options for logging and ICMP ('ping') response, and provides a button to return the firewall to its default settings. (useful is you ever misconfigure your firewall)
The windows firewall can also be configured to allow certain types of traffic. The firewall log file can be found here by default: C:\WINDOWS\pfirewall.log
Now there are some disadvantages to using this firewall. For example,
ICF only monitors incomming traffic. Not outbound. Also, it only alerts you when applications try to download information. Not upload information to a remote server. I hope you find this information to be useful. Any comments? suggestions?

Well, Halloween is over for another year. We got approximately 30 little ghosts and goblins at the door inside of an hour and that was it for the night. They seemed very excited about the treat bags!
It's still pretty nippy when the sun isn't out, but a lot of the 2+ feet of snow we got this week has melted away already. This is a strange place to be weather-wise sometimes... today we were wearing snow boots for the drifts and puddles and t-shirts because it was just too warm for anything else while the sun was shining! lol
Heidi, Brandon, and Chloe went out together and were gone a long time. They didn't get a whole lot; many people just don't participate in shelling out anymore. So many places do the Trick-or-Treat Street or parties, going trick-or-treating seems like it is becoming a thing of the past.
Chloe carved us another cool pumpkin (she likes the intricate designs and is very patient about doing them) thankfully- we didn't decorate outside because of the abundance of snow.
Edward Scissorhands, Lydia Dietz, and the hippie girl seemed to have a fun night anyways!

Right-Wing Media Turn To Absurd Sports Analogy To Attack Women In Combat
Right-wing media figures opposed to the Pentagon permitting women to serve in combat roles attacked the decision by pointing to sex-segregated sports teams. But military research has shown that women are capable of serving in combat, and the decision has the support of major political and military figures.
Conservative Media Use Sports Analogy To Attack Women In Combat
MSNBC's Scarborough: "There Is A Reason Why There Are No Women In...Most Male-Centered Professional Sports." MSNBC co-host Joe Scarborough claimed that women had physical limitations that would affect their ability to perform in combat roles. He added "there is a reason why there are no women in the NFL, there is a reason why there are no women in Major League Baseball, there is a reason why there are no women in most male-centered professional sports." [MSNBC, Morning Joe, 1/25/13]
Fox's Krauthammer: Women "Wouldn't Have A Chance" Competing With Men In Sports. Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer pointed to gender-segregated sports and Olympic events to justify his opposition to allowing women to serve in combat positions:
The argument on the other side is that there is a reason why we have professional men's basketball and separately we have women's basketball. There is a reason why in the Olympics you have a men's decathlon and the women's, the men's boxing and the women's, the men's weight lifting, because if the women were to compete with the men they would not have a chance.
Now, the differences are clearly not a matter of discrimination or prejudice. They are a simple physical fact. It's true that in a more high-tech that makes less of a difference. This isn't exactly Agincourt. We're not wearing chainmail and wielding battle axes. But nonetheless, there is still an element of strength and endurance which is required. [Fox News, Special Report with Bret Baier, 1/24/13]
Military Officials And Prominent Veterans Support Policy Change
Gen. Martin Dempsey And Joint Chiefs: "The Time Has Come To Rescind The Direct Combat Exclusion Rule For Women." A memo by Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, recommended that Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta rescind the 1994 direct combat exclusion rule for women "and to eliminate all unnecessary gender-based barriers to service." [The New York Times, 1/23/13]
Sen. McCain: Women Are Already Serving In Harm's Way. In a statement responding to the Pentagon's decision on women in combat, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) released a statement supporting the decision:
I respect and support Secretary Panetta's decision to lift the ban on women serving in combat. The fact is that American women are already serving in harm's way today all over the world and in every branch of our armed forces. Many have made the ultimate sacrifice, and our nation owes them a deep debt of gratitude. As this new rule is implemented, it is critical that we maintain the same high standards that have made the American military the most feared and admired fighting force in the world - particularly the rigorous physical standards for our elite special forces units. [mccain.senate.gov, 1/23/13]
Military Leadership Diversity Commission: Research Evidence Hasn't Shown That Women Lack Physical Ability To Perform In Combat Roles. In a case study on the effects of the combat exclusion policy in the military, the MLDC found that research did not reveal that women lack the physical ability to perform in combat roles, "or that gender integration has a negative effect on unit cohesion or other readiness factors." The study also noted that no evidence has been found to support the view that "women are necessarily more likely than men to develop mental health problems from combat exposure," but it does affect their career opportunities. [Military Leadership Diversity Commission, November 2010]
Rep. Duckworth: This Policy "Will Make America Safer And Provide Inspiration To Women Throughout Our Country." Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) -- an Army veteran who lost both legs during the Iraq War -- applauded the policy change and the new role it would allow women to take in the future:
"The decision to allow women to serve in combat will allow the best man or woman on the front line to keep America safe," Duckworth said in a statement Wednesday. "As a combat veteran, I know the inclusion of women in combat roles will make America safer and provide inspiration to women throughout our country." [Chicago Tribune, 1/23/13]
Military Has Been Expanding Roles For Women Since Gulf War
Congressional Research Service Highlights Defense Study Endorsing "Gender-Neutral" Polices For Military. In a December 2012 report to Congress on women in combat, the Congressional Research Service detailed the history of efforts that have gradually expanded roles for women in the military since the Gulf War. The report highlighted a February 2012 review released by the Under Secretary of Defense (Personnel and Readiness) recommending that the Department of Defense should rescind the 1994 policy that excluded women from combat positions. The Under Secretary of Defense review also found that physical demands and co-location of ground combat would not forces would not adversely affect the mission, according to CRS:
Hypothetically speaking, if a female soldier carries 70 pounds of equipment five miles and exerts the same effort as a male carrying 100 pounds of equipment the same distance, the differing standards could be viewed as 'gender-neutral' because both exerted the same amount of effort, with differing loads. Such differing loads, in certain scenarios, may or may not matter, particularly in terms of ammunition, medical equipment, communications equipment, and medical supplies, commonly carried by foot soldiers. (According to a U.S. Army Report, a rifleman in Afghanistan can be expected to carry an average fighting load of 63 lbs. to an average Emergency Approach March Load of 127 lbs.
The proposal allows commanders to co-locate women in open occupational specialties with ground combat units noting that the "[r]emoval of the co-location operating restriction responds to the current operational environment." [Congressional Research Service, 12/13/12]

The Split 13 x2 is a 13-inch Windows 8 hybrid, while the SlateBook 10 x2 is an Android convertible and both are blurring the lines between product categories. The Split 13 features a 1366x768 display and it's based on Y-series Ivy Bridge Core i3 or Core i5 chips. The dock features an additional battery and an optional 500GB hard drive.
The SlateBook 10 is a different beast. It is a Tegra 4 tablet with a keyboard dock and a 1920x1200 IPS display. It also ships with a keydock, with and integrated battery and multitouch trackpad, full size USB port and SD card reader.
They both look interesting, there is no denying that, but it's not as simple as it looks. The Android based SlateBook 10 will start at $480, which isn't bad for a high end convertible tablet, but it's no bargain, either. The big Split 13 is priced at $800, which is a bit harder to swallow, especially considering that it features a lower resolution screen than the SlateBook.
On another note, the cheap Slate 7 and the SlateBook 10 prove that HP is finally starting to take Android seriously.

The seamless, 100% machined surface design provides the tightest tolerances in the industry. The centerless ground OD, centerless bored ID results in wall variations of . 0004 in. , giving the customer increased system design flexibility. Discrete manufacturing lines can supply both high and low volumes economically. We can be a valued strategic partner with our design, development and manufacturing capabilities. Dura-Bond bimetal bearings are constructed of seamless steel tube with a thin layer of lead based babbitt material. Seamless construction makes installation easy, eliminating breakage and bearing surface interruptions. Lead based babbitt provides ideal properties for nearly all engine applications. Babbitt's superior embedability, conformability, and anti-seizure characteristics have proven to reduce engine failures that harder bearing materials can cause. Dura-Bond Bearing offers:
Oversize and undersize bearings for many applications: Oversize ODs for line bored blocks. Undersized IDs for cam salvage. Semi-finished IDs for line boring requirements: Under IDs allow line boring after bearing installation. OHC repair bearings: Provides a method to repair aluminum OHC heads. Repairs scored or seized cam/housings and restores cam alignment. High Performance line for racing applications: Fatigue life of the bearing is nearly doubled with micro-babbit, chill cast, and burnished construction. Coated High Performance bearings: Fluoropolymer coated high performance for maximum fatigue life and improved surface properties. Special small run bearings/bushings: For prototype or block salvage. HIGH PERFORMANCE CAM BEARING - The high performance all-round cam bearings offer more than double the fatigue strength of conventional bearings, withstand racing spring loads, and maintain the excellent surface characteristics of Babbitt. Specific Contributions of the Design and Processes: Micro-Babbitt: a very thin layer of lining which reduces the microscopic deflections that occur to a bearing when loaded and thus increases fatigue life. Grain-Controlled Babbit: By cooling the Babbitt quickly in the casting process, very fine grain structure is achieved. By leaving the structure as cast, tensile strength is almost doubled over the standard bearing. This hard and high strength condition provides the "toughness" needed for racing applications. Burnishing: Cold working the surface of the Babbitt eliminates micro-fissures that can lead to fatigue failure. The surface also exhibits a higher hardness. Precision Machining: High Performance manufacturing tolerances are closer to control installed oil clearances, which reduce operating bearing pressure.Pit Stop USA offers Dura-Bond High Performance Cam Bearing Set - 1967-95 SB Chevy Std.

Jefferies leads a tour of his brand new Pleasanton facility like a kid showing his gifts Christmas morning -- around every corner, through every door, is another surprise he cannot wait to share. The excitement and pride clearly stems from the time and attention to detail he and his partner, Darren Nicholson, dedicated to ensure the 12,000-square-foot facility will become all they imagined it could be for Bay Area athletes and their families.
As Jefferies describes it, their idea was to "build a complete athletic training facility, all under one roof."
Jefferies says his path to Pleasanton began with his father, Rich Jefferies, who made baseball fun, never a regimen, for Gregg and his brother.
"My dad played in the major leagues till he had kids," Jefferies explains. "Then he quit and became a high school (physical education) teacher. There just wasn't the money in the game that there is now. He couldn't make enough playing to support a family."
Gregg Jefferies was drafted straight out of San Mateo's Junipero Serra High School in 1985, then spent two years in the minor leagues before being brought up to play with the New York Mets. While Jefferies didn't have a long struggle before achieving his dream of playing professional ball, those years in the majors and a severed hamstring made him a veteran of every experience and emotion of an athlete.
"I've faced Nolan Ryan and other Hall of Fame pitchers," he says. "I know what it feels like to be at the top of the game, and I know what it feels like when you think you'll never hit again. I know what it's like to be injured, I know what it feels like to struggle. There is no emotion I haven't been through and I can help these kids learn how to handle all those things."
Though the academy doors only opened in December, Jefferies has found ways to stay involved with the athletic community since his professional career was cut short by a severed hamstring in June 2000. A switch hitter with a career .290 batting average, Jefferies admits it was awhile before he could even watch a game on television. And though Jefferies' well-known prowess at the plate has brought him four offers to coach in the major leagues, that lifestyle just doesn't work any longer.
"I have four kids, and I love being part of their lives," Jefferies explains. "I can't travel like that anymore, and there is no way around the time you've got to spend on the road."
The big leagues' loss of Jefferies' talents has been a tremendous benefit for the local baseball community. Jefferies has offered clinics and classes at various facilities and spent the last five years volunteering as the hitting coach at Foothill High School where his oldest son, Jake, played and earned a baseball scholarship to Cal State Fullerton.
Gregg Jefferies has long believed having his own place to teach and mentor young players would be a part of his future, and with Jake graduated and Nicholson on board, the time seemed right to make the move.
"It's been nerve-wracking and crazy," says Jefferies, "but it's also really exciting."
Knocking out walls and raising ceilings throughout the expansive space, the two men transformed the former office building on Koll Center Parkway into a training facility that rivals those found on college campuses.
"In fact," Jefferies points out, "lots of the kids we train came back from college during the holidays and told us this is the nicest facility they've ever seen."
The partners decided it was essential to extend the use of the facility beyond the baseball/softball crowd.
"Parents ask me if it is OK for their kids to play more than one sport," Jefferies says. "I am a huge advocate for that. Every sport coincides with other sports. They all help the kids develop as athletes.
"It's fine to train year round," he adds, "but there needs to be different levels of training."
Soccer teams, lacrosse coaches, basketball players, sprinters, swimmers, injured athletes and moms with an hour to spare while their kids are getting coached will all find reasons to work out, or just hang out, at the academy. Jefferies rattles off the list of amenities like a fan reciting a player's stats.
"We have two weight rooms filled with $70,000 of free weights and machines, a cardio room, a video review room, three portable pitching mounds with space to move out a regulation 60 feet 6 inches from the plate, evening strength and conditioning classes, physical therapists, 40 yards of speed and agility training, three batting cages for live hitting and seven tee stations."
Jefferies pauses for a moment and adds, "Those are Tanner tees. All the big league teams use Tanner tees."
While the big league facilities share a lot of features with the academy, Jefferies' place boasts a couple of highlights most are missing: a room for birthday parties, complete with a drop down screen for movie viewing, and a wiffle ball stadium, inspired by the one behind left field at the Giant's AT&T Park.
It may be called the Gregg Jefferies Sports Academy, but Jefferies stresses it is the skills of its assembled team that make the academy a valuable asset to the community.
"We have been lucky to bring together an incredibly talented group of people who understand sports at a very high level," he explains, citing the expansive resumes of the rest of the staff which complement and support different aspects of the sports training experience.
Nicholson, who also coaches with Foothill's varsity staff, played college ball at Chico State and spent 12 years scouting for the Pirates. Head pitching coach Eddie Delzer played with the Angels and currently works with the Oakland A's. Andrew Hamel is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist who also coaches Amador Valley High's football team.
Even the general manager, Taryn Alexander, has a sports background, having played basketball through college, worked for the Giants and kept Stanford University's summer sports programs running smoothly.
"We wanted to bring in the right people," Jefferies asserts. "We knew it was important that we all share the same philosophy, and we do. We have a great time together."
Jefferies' philosophy as a hitting coach is all about breaking baseball down to the fundamentals.
"There are all these strange techniques out there," he says, shaking his head. "Everyone wants to put a spin on how to hit or how to pitch so they can put their name on it and market it as a brand. That's not what we teach here. This is not the Gregg Jefferies way to play baseball. This is what they're using in the big leagues.
"The key to being a good instructor," he continues, "is getting the player to understand the mechanics. It's not about hitting the ball, it's about being able to stand there and break down the swing and know what you need to fix when things aren't feeling right."
It's Wednesday night and Jefferies is working with the academy's inaugural hitting class, mostly high school age. Jefferies' enthusiasm is clearly visible as he moves from station to station, calling out instructions, with wisecracks flying across the room. Once class is over and all equipment has been put back in place, Jefferies calls the boys together.
"I know the session is 10 classes long and next week should be our last class," he says, "but I've decided this class doesn't count. So tell your parents you still have two classes left, and I will see you next week."
And that is how Gregg Jefferies plays ball.

LAYERS 011 - The Gates of Heaven is an extensive multisample package containing 128 samples. The numbers are equivalent to chromatic key assignment. This is my most extended multisample till today covering a complete MIDI keyboard (128 keys). The sound of The Gates of Heaven is already in the name: a long (exactly 4 minutes!) slowly evolving dreamy ambient drone pad with a lot of subtle movement and overtones suitable for lovely background atmospheres that can be played as a PAD sound in your favourite sampler. At the end of each sample the lower frequency range diminishes. Think Steve Roach or Vidna Obmana and you know what this multisample sounds like. It was created using NI Kontakt 4 within Cubase 5 and a lot of convolution (Voxengo's Pristine Space is my favourite) as well as some reverb from u-he: Uhbik-A. To maximise the sound excellent mastering plugins were used from Roger Nichols: Finis & D4. Exports were done as 32 bit audio files and the final 16 bit conversion to the flac format was kept as the very latest stage in the process to obtain the best possible quality. And above all: enjoy!

In general principle, I am against us getting involved in any more Mideast messes. We do not need to police the world. Egypt is an impossible mess. Our coming in there would make it worse. And how are we going to topple the regime in Syria without taking the side of a faction which might be just as bad?
Democracy in Iraq? Afghanistan? What a joke. We did not spread democracy to those two tormented lands; we merely opened the door for a different form of fanaticism.
How do we spread democracy? By being a better democracy ourselves, by not giving in to fear of fanatics and handing over our liberties in exchange for a false sense of safety. Lead by example, not force. Force hasn't worked in the past, what makes us think it will work now?

Running next up for Jeter on road to recovery
NEW YORK -- Yankees captain Derek Jeter expects to resume running next week as he works to return from his third stint on the disabled list this season.
Jeter played catch on the field at Yankee Stadium on Saturday and said that his strained right calf "feels great." He said that he would ride the stationary bicycle in the Yankees' clubhouse during the team's game against the Tigers, and expects to stay with the Bombers through the homestand.
"I would assume I'm going to run soon, but I don't know," Jeter said. "All I know is what I'm doing today. I've got to go ride the bike. But I would assume [I will run] in the next couple of days."
Jeter was placed on the disabled list retroactive to Aug. 3 and said he expects to be activated when eligible. He has played in just five games this year.
"I'm confident I'll be ready," Jeter said.
Yet another stint on the disabled list has given Jeter the unwanted problem of too much time to kill. He was a guest this week on NBC's "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," where house band The Roots came up with three light-hearted suggestions for Jeter's walk-up music upon his return.
"It was funny, right?" Jeter said "I hadn't heard it before I went out there. The last one was good, the second one was funny."

Vietnam Art Books --
Viet Art At Turning Point (January 25, 2007)
Viet Art At Turning Point (January 25, 2007)
Soon after Karen Ong moved to Hanoi on a job posting in 2003, she was lured by a landscape with a blood red sky.
It was a USD1,200 painting titled Ky Niem (Vietnamese for memory) by well-known Vietnamese artist Dao Hai Phong. She had spotted it in a little gallery while wandering around Hanoi's Old Quarter.
Struck by its evocativeness, she had to buy it.
Ong, 30, a Singapore civil servant who returned home last year, recalls, "In the middle of the painting, there is a lone house under a big, blooming tree. It made me think of home, my past and everything I left behind to start a new chapter in my life in Vietnam."
In a way, the Vietnamese art scene itself is also poised on the brink of a new chapter.
Once touted as the next big thing in the 1990s, it has been keeping a lower profile in recent years.
At the peak of the vogue for Vietnam, you could barely duck into a gallery here without seeing works by Vietnamese artists and their distinctive ink and gouache or lacquer works.
One reason for the popularity of Vietnamese art when it emerged was the fact that many artists were highly skilled in techniques and influences left behind by the French colonists.
In 2003, a bumper crop of Vietnamese modern masterpieces were auctioned off at Sotheby's here to record prices. Among them, Le Pho's (1907-2001) painting Mother And Child sold for USD184,500.
Since then, the hype has died down somewhat.
Eclipsed by the fantastic boom of the Chinese and Indian contemporary art markets, Vietnamese art prices have increased at a relatively slower pace.
Mok Kim Chuan, Sotheby's specialist in charge of Southeast Asian paintings here, says that--allowing for huge variations depending on artists, styles, media and sizes--many contemporary Vietnamese art pieces fetch between USD5,000 and USD12,000 on the block these days.
This compares with the hundreds of thousands of dollars which paintings by comparable Chinese and Indian artists fetch.
Jasdeep Sandhu, owner of Gajah Gallery in Hill Street, says prices for the Vietnamese artworks he deals in hover around the USD5,000 mark.
He became interested in the country's art 10 years ago, and still makes monthly trips there to "drink wine with my artists."
But the Vietnamese art market hasn't moved much in the last few years.
Gallery owners and art observers Life! spoke to agree that the lack of a proper arts infrastructure, such as a lack of good patrons of Vietnamese art and lack of government support for artists, is largely to blame.
Also, certain cliches of Vietnamese art--the delicate, elongated women in ao dai and conical hats; breezy landscapes and exotic street scenes--have become so ubiquitous and popular with tourists and collectors that artists are loathe to change a formula that works.
Unfortunately, it has also contributed to the sense of deja vu that now clings to many of the commercial galleries' offerings.
Sandhu puts it bluntly, "Younger artists are painting works similar to senior ones. They look like carbon copies, for about USD1,500. But you're basically buying an artist who is very much influenced by another artist's style.
"It's just a cheap way to cover space on the wall. The artistic culture is absent from these types of work."
The matter is complicated by Vietnam's infamous "copy houses," where masterpieces by local and foreign artists alike can be duplicated.
So rampant are these paintbrush-wielding copyright-infringers that The New York Times' Southeast Asian correspondent Seth Mydans, wrote on Sept 9, 2001 about the cottage industry of fake Van Goghs, Picassos and Monets.
"It is possible, depending on the skill of the copier, to find a Mona Lisa looking as if she had just been sucking on a lemon or a Mona Lisa looking as if she had just been tickled," he observed wryly, adding that actual galleries were struggling to differentiate themselves.
Dr Eugene Tan, director of the Institute of Contemporary Arts, Singapore, and a co-curator of the Singapore Biennale, feels that collectors are realising that Vietnamese art had stopped engaging with international discussions and ideas.
He says, "It had become a market largely fuelled by tourists, and not by serious collectors. Censorship has certainly played a part in this, as Vietnamese artists still face heavy censorship."
He gives the example of the Saigon Open City exhibition, an art biennale-like event, which was due to open last month, but has yet to be granted a permit.
Pretty Women And Graffiti
Nevertheless, the climate surrounding Vietnamese art remains a vibrant, hopeful and exciting one.
This week, Sotheby's Mok visited Vietnam to source for new artists to champion. Coincidentally, Jazz Chong, owner of Ode To Art Gallery at Raffles City Shopping Centre, was travelling separately on the same flight with the same purpose.
Tran Thi Anh Vu, owner of Particular Art Gallery in Ho Chi Minh City, says she sells between 10 and 15 artworks a month, mainly to Europeans, Americans, Hong Kongers and Singaporeans.
Ask her about young affordable Vietnamese artists in the market and she cites names like Hanoi's Hoang Hai Anh, Tran Viet Phu, Doan Hoang Lam, and Ho Chi Minh City's Limkhim Katy.
All of them are in the 30-35 age bracket and paint expressive oil works, priced in the region of USD1,000.
She adds that many artists branch out into installation, performance and graffiti, while focusing on social issues like Aids infection in their work.
"It is not completely true that it is all pretty women and landscapes," she says.
Vietnam's experimental artists include Nguyen Minh Phuoc, who is fast gaining international notice for his works.
These include an art performance in which he bound himself in red cord and stood among packs of paper currency for the dead. In another performance, he collaborated with impoverished street porters, who sat in a circle and wrote their dreams and aspirations on the back of the person in front.
Nguyen, 34, tells Life! that his brand of experimental, spontaneous art is not easily accepted in conservative Vietnam. He also laments the lack of government support and institutional training for artists who choose to strike out away from the established, academy-taught styles.
In 2004, he co-funded and set up a non-profit gallery, Ryllega, with fellow artist Vu Huu Thuy, to nurture young artists and link them to the international art community.
So far, the gallery has produced art books, set up exchange programmes and residencies, and even provided English training for its artists.
In short, it is helping to establish the kind of infrastructure needed to put the country's art back into the spotlight.
Does this mean that Vietnamese art might soon fulfill its early promise?
He says, "After much endeavour by the artist community and our collective responsibility, we now have some light." (By Clara Chow, The Straits Times/ANN)

There are not only places with magnificent scenes of the city but also there are hiking and trekking attraction for adventure loving people so a visit to this city will surely be quite enjoyable and memorable. Some of its major travel destinations are described below for your guidance.
Nagarkot is an interesting place to visit because here you will find you will find some of the most exciting places for hiking.

Other activities which travelers can enjoy in Nagarkot include yoga, birdwatching, riding and hiking.
The Chusya Bahal
A visit to Kathmandu will remain incomplete without a visit to this place. The Chusya Bahal Kathmandu is the best example of Bahal architecture. Let me describe this beautiful place as I hope that after reading about it, you will definitely visit this place. At the entrance of this place, you will find two magnificent lions. This is a set of buildings on the right side of which, you will find Mahakala Shrine along with Ganesha Shrine. Visitors will also come across traditional brick paving in sunken court of this building.
There is a temple in the entrance of this building which has got two storeys. The most worth-seeing feature of this temple is roof struts belonging to 14th century. If you are interested in watching stupas, you will find them inside the court. One of the stupas has got the image of Tara and the other has got the statue of Vajrasattva. In the ground floor, you will see many halls which are currently being used as school.
Durbar Square
Durbar Square is considered as a spiritual heart of Kathmandu. There are a lot of attractions around Durbar Square like courtyards, pagodas, temples as well as Royal Palace, Kumari House and the residence of Living Goddess. Te Kumari Chowk is also a popular tourist attraction in Nepal which is located in south of Durbar Square. At this place there is a cage having a young girl. The young girl is actually human personification of Goddess Durga which is a Hindu Goddess. Selection of this young girl is done through a spiritual and ancient process and during the time of religious festivals, this young girl is worshipped. A number of temples are also located at Durbar Square which are kept and preserved nicely as they are national heritage sites.
Gorakhnath Caves
An interesting place to visit in Kathmandu is Gorakhnath Caves which are named after saintly Gorakhnat. It is believed that Gorakhnath mediated in this cave and he also left his foot prints on a rock in front of cave. Around this region, many temples and monasteries have been established among which you will come across Tibetan gompa which belongs to Nyingmapa sect. This was built to honor a person named Guru Rinpoche who had been given the credit of introducing Buddhism in Tibet.
Royal Chitwan National Park
Royal Chitwan National Park is the oldest and most popular safari park in Nepal. This park is home to endangered animals like Royal Bengal Tiger and one-horned rhinoceros. Other animals which you will find here include sloth bears, pythons, leopards, wild elephants, monitor lizards and more than 400 species of birds. You can explore park in different ways but the best and most popular way is elephant-back safaris. Other facilities available in this park include guided walks, jeep safaris, canoe trips and overnight jungle expeditions. There are also accommodation facilities in this park so you can make a choice between hotels and luxury camps within park.
According to me, these were the best attractions which you must see in Kathmandu. Plan some holiday there and enjoy a good time.
