The WikiLeaks Video and Terrorist Blowback
By Jacob Hornberger
hat tip: Campaign for Liberty
I can't improve on Glenn Greenwald's analysis of the WikiLeaks video depicting the slaughter of Iraqi citizens. See here and here and here.
However, there is one part of the WikiLeaks video that I wish to address — the reaction of the helicopter pilots upon learning that there were two children who were shot and injured during the melee. Their reaction, in fact, perfectly exemplifies the mindset that has long characterized U.S. officials, including those in the Pentagon.
When the pilots discovered that they had shot the two Iraqi kids, here was their exchange:
"Well it's their fault for bringing their kids into a battle."
"That's right."
No remorse, no anguish, no regret, no concern. Just callous indifference to the possibility that the lives of two innocent children might have just been snuffed out.

The Minus 5, plus baseball
Scott McCaughey combines his love of twangy bar rock and America's pastime
Special to Metromix
Singer-songwriter-guitarist Scott McCaughey likes to stay busy. He leads two bands of his own (the Young Fresh Fellows and the Minus 5), plays bass for Robyn Hitchcock's Venus 3, and has toured and recorded with R.E.M. since 1994. If that wasn't enough, McCaughey formed the Baseball Project last year with R.E.M.'s Peter Buck (also of the Minus 5) and Steve Wynn (the Dream Syndicate).
McCaughey, Buck, Wynn and Wynn's wife, Linda Pitmon, are currently touring in support of the Minus 5's excellently twangy new album "Killingsworth" and the Baseball Project's "Volume 1: Frozen Ropes and Dying Quails," an album of songs that are, as the band's name suggests, all about baseball.
"The four of us are all three bands on the bill: the Minus 5, the Baseball Project, and the Steve Wynn IV," McCaughey explains by phone from his home in Portland, Ore. "We'll probably do two fairly long sets with a break in between to go make a fresh margarita or something."
What do you do on a typical day off?
I don't have any days off. [Laughs]
I was afraid you were going to say that.
Yeah, I'm hitting the computer as soon as I get up and answering a million emails and organizing shit for the tour coming up. That's pretty much what I've been doing since getting back the night before last from Spain, where I was doing a show with the Baseball Project.
Do people tell you that you're a workaholic?
Yeah, I get that…my feeling is that I don't ever do enough work and that I should be doing more, putting out more records, writing more songs and all that.
I read on your MySpace site that the songs on "Killingsworth" might be performed differently in concert. Do you consider the recorded songs mere blueprints for what you present live?
No, in a way, it's almost the opposite. [Laughs] The records for the Minus 5 are like the completed building. And then I think when we go on tour and we go back to the sketches, to the blueprint, as it were. It's cool in a way, because you present this [album] and then you take it out and it's different. Our approach is a little bit like Elvis Costello and the Attractions'—not that I would compare us to them, they have a different caliber of musicianship, but they would often do songs live quite differently than they were on the record.
So, the records might be a bit more elaborate but in concert there's going to be more energy because of the spontaneity of it?
Yes. You can say that. They'll also be louder live. [Laughs]
You released an entire album about baseball last year and mentioned that a second volume is in the works. Who's the biggest baseball geek in the group?
Peter's definitely the least. He's such a smart guy and growing up in Georgia he absorbed a lot of Atlanta Braves stuff. He doesn't really follow any sport at all, though. And I admire him for it—sports are a big fucking waste of time. I spend way too much time thinking about baseball and reading box scores, and going to games and all that stuff. I just love it. It's my passion. Reading box scores is like my one little window of relaxation I allow myself. Steve and I are pretty geeky about baseball, so that's why we led the charge on this project. And Linda's pretty big on baseball, too.
As an artist, how does being a sideman in a monster band like R.E.M. differ from fronting Minus 5 and working in a collaborative role with the Baseball Project?
They're all a little different, but then again they're all about playing rock music in front of people, which I love to do. It's definitely more pressure if I'm doing Minus 5, but it's not too bad. Yeah, in Minus 5, I'm the guy who makes the set lists, does the between song banter [laughs] and that kind of stuff. But I don't mind that—I enjoy it. When it comes to R.E.M., I love just being the guy who stands out there and rocks out on guitar. Even though we're playing for more people, there's less pressure because Michael [Stipe] is the one who has to work the audience and talk to them and that's a big responsibility.
When you're on stage watching Michael Stipe, one of the more charismatic frontmen in rock, do you ever think, "That would work for me as a frontman"?
I probably do that with some people, but Michael is so unique, and so different from me, that you can't really compare what we do. I admire him, though. And I do watch him sometimes and just crack up when he does something amazing—or says something that is really funny. And I'm like, "Shit, I wish I would have thought of that."
Will you be doing any R.E.M. songs on this tour?
There's been a couple times when I've suggested maybe doing an R.E.M. song just for fun in the Minus 5, but Peter's really not that keen on the idea. I think he likes keeping them separate. Or maybe he just knows they wouldn't be as good. [Laughs]

Scandinavian Business Seating
Scandinavian Business Seating (SB Seating) was born from the merger of the three companies HÅG, RH og RBM.
With almost 450 employees there was a challenge when it came to sharing information and knowledge internally, and we needed a quick decision on how the company would handle this.
With three strong brands and different cultures who would merge into one organization, there were challenges and tasks in queue: reorganization, new colleagues, interdisciplinary teams, demands for streamlining processes, and so on.
A merger is a complex process and this results in an enormous need for information and communication across the company increased significantly during this period.
It was often point to point via email, which results in closed channels, delays, forwards, and many versions of the same information scattered in many mailboxes.
The Executive Board soon needed new and better channels for sharing information;
"We wanted to build identity and a sense og belonging, with success stories both within and accross departments", says project manager Linda Øksendal.
"A collaborative portal for all employees, with tailor-made workspaces for employees at all levels of the value chain."
For the employees who were commissioned to take on "project intranet" it was a pleasure to see the positive attitude of the management right from the start.
When the new company took shape and the pieces fell into place, it bacame clear that the need went beyond information sharing.
They also wanted the employees to collaborate better and that IT systems should protect and reflect the new company as it stands today.
""It's a lot about people in such a process, so the first thing we focused on was an employee guide. Here we had an interactive guide to all our new and old colleagues"
"Eventually the new intranet took shape, bit by bit. Large screens are placed on all workstations to show that this is a tool for the employees and by the employees, there are no secluded nooks in the company today that is not included."
In production environments in Nässjö and Røros, this has been a welcoming and useful tool, which has "opened up " the organization
"The solution from Symfoni differed from the others because it was simple to use, and yet contained advanced functionality under the hood in accordance with SB Seating specification. The solution was easy to learn, not to mention easy to teach."
Project manager Linda Øksendahl believes the user friendliness and flexibility is the reason that stories for the News section of the intranet, has been queueing up right from the start:
"Good stories are the key for success, when it comes to building the culture we so depend upon via our intranet".
All value chains in the organization have been assigned their work surfaces in the form of portals where they profile the department, projects, trends, success stories, etc.
The goal is to give all employees a feeling of belonging under the same umbrella, that you get a common identity.
"Management urges that curiosity among employees shall be triggered", Øksendal continues.

The Student Conservation Association's Native Plant Corps (NPC) takes on a variety of projects related to restoration ecology. We train and deploy teams consisting of a skilled Project Leader and 3-5 Corps Members (interns) to help agency partners achieve their plant conservation and restoration initiatives goals. NPC has partnered with the BLM, NPS, FWS, USFS, non-profits and others located all over the United States. Each team focuses its work efforts in the following areas:
With the goal to reduce the total number of invasive species infested acres on public lands, NPC teams learn to identify invasive plant species and determine the best treatment methods. Treatment methods include manual, mechanical, and chemical techniques using chainsaws, pole saws, brush cutters, loppers, manual and gas-powered sprayers, 4WD and all-terrain vehicles.
Inventory, Monitoring & Mapping
Teams use GPS/GIS equipment to compile, map and analyze invasive species data. Additionally, teams monitor treated areas to better evaluate treatment effectiveness and long term restoration efforts.
Restoring Native Plant Species and Habitats
Throughout the country, teams aim to restore native plant species and habitats in damaged and altered natural landscapes by planting appropriate native plants and trees.
Public Outreach & Education
All of the teams engage in various forms of outreach to educate the public about the threat of invasive species, and to let communities know about the restoration work being done in their area. Activities include leading field trips for school groups, attending community events and leading volunteer service days.
Media and Publicity
The teams actively seek media attention in order to increase community awareness of invasive species issues. As a result, news stories are published that highlight the excellent work public land management agencies and SCA are undertaking to control invasive species.
NPC Project Model
NPC teams currently work during three seasons: Spring (Feb/Mar start), Summer (Apr/May start), and Fall (Aug/Sept start). Teams serve from 3-9 months depending on the agency partnership.
The Project Leader is an SCA seasonal paid employee and serves as the supervisor of the team and liaison to the agency coordinator. He/she arrives 5-7 weeks prior to the members' arrival to work with the agency partner to review project priorities, create the workplan & calendar, do equipment inventory, prepare housing, and many other preparatory tasks. The Project Leader will also stay 1-2 weeks after members' departure to complete a final report.
The SCA Corps Members are selected from a pool of highly skilled applicants. Many have college degrees and are looking for work experience in the field. Others are seeking experience that will help them choose future graduate studies. Corps Members receive training in leadership, safety, and project specific skills. NPC staff works with each agency partner to develop the skill set that each partner needs.

Slovakia is also home to our Tesco International Clothing Business which buys non-food stock from around the world and sells it on to our Central and Eastern European businesses.
Every year we organize Tesco 'Run For Life' events to help people to live healthier life styles and generate money for the local community. In winter 2011, we organised a 'Skate for Life' event for the first time, which proved very popular. We have also taken practical steps to reduce our carbon emissions by 50% by 2020. In 2009 we opened the first low energy store in Slovakia in Rajec.View website

Strategic review
In December 2012, we announced our decision to begin a strategic review of Fresh & Easy, our business in the US. In April 2013, based on our progress so far with this strategic review, including the indications of interest received from third parties, we confirmed that the outcome of the review will be an exit from the United States. For more details on this announcement see our Preliminary Results 2012/13 Statement.
After years researching the retail market, living with typical American families and even building mock stores to test customer reaction, we entered the West Coast of the US in 2007 opening stores in Southern California, Arizona and Nevada. Today we operate nearly 200 stores and employ over 5,000 people. In March 2011 we opened our first stores in Northern California around San Francisco and the Bay Area.
Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market™ is a local, neighbourhood store providing fresh, high-quality, wholesome food at affordable prices. The stores are designed to serve all types of neighbourhoods, including those that have been traditionally underserved. The stores are smaller than typical supermarkets with easy-to-shop aisles to offer a faster, easier shopping experience.
Fresh & Easy is considerate to its neighbours and aims to reduce its impact on the environment. We have invested $13 million in a 500,000 sq ft solar panel on our distribution centre in Riverside. It is one of the largest in California and in the world. Fresh & Easy gives $1 for every $20 spent back to local schools through its Shop for Schools program. Participating schools can use the money for whatever they need most. 2,700 schools actively participated in the most recent program, earning more than $2 million.

In August 2011 we announced our decision to sell our business in Japan.
In June 2012 we entered into an agreement with Aeon, Japan's largest retail group.
Tesco will exit Japan in a two stage process. In the first phase Tesco will sell 50% of its shares in Tesco Japan to Aeon for a nominal sum. This will result in the formation of a joint venture with Aeon. As part of this, Tesco will invest a further c.£40 million as a joint venture partner to finance further restructuring, after which Tesco will have no further financial exposure to the Japanese business or its operations.
Philip Clarke, Chief Executive Officer, said: "I thank our colleagues in Japan, who have done an excellent job for the business – in particular over recent months. We are very pleased to announce this deal with Aeon today, and are confident that this will deliver the best outcome for our staff, for our customers in Japan and for our shareholders."

"There's everything conceivable around us, and I thought the coolest thing would be to do something normal," Prada told WWD. "My intention was to work on nothingness, on banality." Tank tops under jackets in honeycomb tones (and later salmon, magenta and red), were teamed with flared trousers and loafers boasting the biggest of tassels. A play on camouflage prints smothered raincoats, while cardigans came tight and fitted in comparison to the styles that have stolen the limelight of late.SEE THE PRADA SHOW ARCHIVE

- Avoid vendor lock-in by moving to open technologies while maintaining your existing infrastructure investments.
What is OpenStack?
OpenStack is an open source project for building a private or public Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud running on standard hardware. The typical analogy is that OpenStack gives you public cloud-like capabilities in your datacenter.
- Read the Red Hat OpenStack FAQs
Currently, we offer 2 ways to start benefiting from Red Hat OpenStack: a fully supported version for early adopters or a 90-day evaluation.
- Contact sales for details on how to get started.

text: Cancer patients will have the opportunity to experience the relaxing techniques of Reiki, a Japanese stress reduction technique, beginning in January 2012 at Simmons Cancer Institute (SCI) at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine in Springfield. Ellen Brotzman-DeSart, education coordinator for the Side-by-Side Wellness Center at SCI, said Reiki will be open to all cancer patients regardless of where they are treated. During a Reiki session, patients may choose to sit or lay flat. The 30-minute sessions involve a light touch or placement of the practitioner's hands on the feet, shoulders and/or head. Many hospitals use Reiki, including Northwestern, M.D. Anderson, and Memorial Sloan-Kettering. Locally, Memorial Medical Center uses Reiki in their hospice program. "It is suggested for patients of any age and can be practiced in any setting. Medical professionals report that Reiki reduces anxiety, and patients need less medication when care includes Reiki," Brotzman-DeSart said. An integrative therapy, Reiki initially will be offered in the infusion area as well as in the SCI Wellness Center. Certified volunteer practitioners donate hours to the program so it can be offered free of charge to patients. Sessions can be scheduled during treatment or before or after clinic appointments by calling Sheila Jessen at 217-545-5408. Reiki has been made available to SCI staff on a trial basis for the past several weeks so they could share their experiences with patients. "Reiki is a very deep, relaxing experience," said Cheryl Camp, ambulatory care aide manager at SCI. "During Reiki, I am able to completely relax. It reduces my anxiety level, which helps with my high blood pressure. I can feel the positive energy from the practitioner's hands once they are placed on my feet, shoulders and head." Reiki practitioners interested in donating time to the program can call Ellen at 217-545-0798 weekdays.

BRANCHLAND, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia State Police are investigating the death of a toddler whose body was found under a cook stove in Lincoln County.
Capt. Dave Nelson tells WCHS-TV that investigators believe the stove fell over and trapped the child after the floor gave way under it.
The chlid's body was found Monday in the kitchen of a residence in the Branchland area. State police say the chlid's caretaker was sleeping at the time of the incident.

text: The Show Catwalk Close up Back stage Fashion Shows Spring/Summer 2008 Ready-To-Wear Viktor & Rolf 02 October 2007 ONLY at Viktor & Rolf could a model open the show walking through a wall-sized image of a wide-open mouth. And if that didn't get your attention then the exaggerated Pierrot collars adorned in pink and white violins certainly will. Paying homage to Marcel Marceau and the art of mime, the Dutch duo who are known for their conceptual approach to fashion (last season's lighting rig constructions anyone?), brought us their signature wit and charm in a romantic collection that combined their talent for sharp tailoring and eccentric detailing. Suits were slim in fit and androgynous in style; a sleek black ensemble with white lapels was reminiscent of a circus ring master while rosettes and ruffles nestled at the neck of loose-fitting tunics and smocks, or, cinched in the waists of whimsical dresses, tiered like wedding cakes in the palest shades of cream and blush. Harlequin prints unravelled across, and down, billowing gowns pulled in at the collar by playful pompoms and cocktail frocks came long and lean. It was a collection full of contrasts but one that was expertly held together by a strict colour palette of white, pink and black - the latter of which took the edge off (or rather gave it to), even the most girly of dresses which came in everything from candy floss to baby pink and which were also surprisingly wearable. While you might not spot someone sporting a life-size violin round their neck any time soon, you can bet that come spring, necklaces and pins adorned with the musical trinket will be all the rage, especially teamed with an oversized collar - if you can find one big enough that is. (October 2 2007, PM)Jessica Bumpus

A Rocklin surgeon and his wife, also a physician, were arrested Friday after a raid on their home and business.
Dr. Efrain Gonzalez was taken to the Placer County jail and booked on a charge of mayhem, which is the willful disfigurement or mutilation of another. He was arrested at his Rocklin home.
Dr. Yessinia Candelaria, his wife, was later taken into custody at their clinic, Advanced Med Spa in Rocklin. She faces one count of grand theft.
The clinic offers a wide range of cosmetic procedures.
Several agencies were present searching for evidence inside, including Rocklin police, the California Medical Board, the State Franchise Board and the Placer County District Attorney's Office.
Agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration were involved in executing a search warrant, as well.
Officials would not comment on what evidence they found.
Friday evening, former patients who were unhappy with Dr. Gonzalez came to the clinic after learning of the arrests.
Chesley Wilmarth said she was very upset after a Botox treatment on her forehead.
"And it didn't work and now I have pigmentation here forever," she said.

Either way, you can find it here - http://blip.tv/the-cake-is-not-a-lie A clean (without text) version of this has already been linked in my blog, as a sort of teaser. But I've now begun, in earnest, and want to share the finished version. Mayhap hook in a few more views. The episodes themselves will make it across sooner or later too, but much slower than they will on my Blip channel. Any feedback, especially negative, will be greatly appreciated. We improve by knowing where we went wrong more than what we did right. So please, do not be kind. Fillet me with a rusty spoon over an open volcano. I can take it *activate flameshield*

The revolutionary technology in the award-winning SkyProdigy telescope is now available for almost every Celestron computerized telescope.
Before StarSense, using a computerized telescope required a lengthy alignment process of finding and centering at least two bright stars in the telescope's eyepiece. But StarSense automatically aligns itself with no user input needed. With this one-of-a-kind accessory, you become an instant astronomer—even if you've never used a telescope before.
StarSense is not only compatible with all of Celestron's current computerized telescope models, but backwards compatible with many older models as well. (See compatibility list below.)
The StarSense Accessory includes a small digital camera that attaches to the telescope's optical tube, along with a specialized hand controller. Just set up the accessory, push the Align button on the hand controller, and StarSense starts capturing and comparing images of the night sky against its internal database of 40,000 celestial objects. In about three minutes, StarSense will gather enough information to triangulate its position and align itself. Then, press the Sky Tour button: StarSense will automatically slew to all the best stars, planets, galaxies, and more based on your exact time and location.
Even the most advanced telescope users will love using the affordable StarSense Accessory. StarSense replaces expensive software used for advanced mount modeling, providing superior pointing accuracy from horizon to horizon. Add as many calibration stars as desired to give your telescope mount a new level of accuracy.

We are showing you the Global version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
Haute Savoie
I recently took a trip with some friends down to the Haute-Savoie region of France to spend a week camping and riding amongst the mountains surrounding Lake Annecy. This area offers some magnificent Alpine routes and our campsite next to the cleanest lake in Europe was the perfect base for us to ride daily through a truly beautiful part of the world. Whilst monstrous Alpine cols such as the Galibier lie further to the south, this location has plenty to offer including some lesser known but very majestic mountains such as the Cret de Chatillon and also classic Tour cols like the Colombiere.
Day 1:
Time Trial around Lac d'Annecy and a climb up the Col de la Forclaz 1157m - a 'chunky' col, especially in the midday heat.
Day 2:
Col de Bluffy - just a shrug of the shoulders really (it was bluffing).
Col de Leschaux 900m - Quintessential Alpine 'roller' with cowbells tinkling amongst lush green hillsides.
Cret de Chatillon (Semnoz) 1790m - tough climb that gets rugged to the top with amazing panorama of the Alps and a superb descent through a national forest (nice waitress at the Hotel Semnoz).
Day 3:
Recovery ride taking in the lake again and a trip back up the Forclaz where ice cold Oranginas were enjoyed. A dip in the lake after lunch.
Day 4:
Veyrier to Thones
Grand Bornand (lovely rolling climb).
Colombiere 1680m - great omelette and frites at the top.
Col de Fleuries 920m - beautiful undulating climb.
A tough but amazing 85 miles.
Day 5:
Another Forclaz 'recovery' ride (it was our local col). Goat's cheese, saucisson, wine, beer and Armagnac for dinner.
Day 6:
Alpe d'Huez - Job done.

Yes Daniel, I would also say your sister's bloke is fortunate to be living in that part of the world. Make the most of it. The Bluffy was not far from our campsite:http://www.rivepleinsoleil.com/chapitre3_fr_41_106.html
I highly recommend the place. I'll most likely be back there soon enough. Incroyable.

Political columnist was unfair to state rep. | Letters
January 4, 2013 · Updated 2:53 PM
If your columnist ("Roegner's end-of-year awards") is a journalist, perhaps he should define his terms.
By referring to State Representative-elect Roger Freeman as "naive," was he indicating that he is unsophisticated or innocent, such as a young child? Mistaking kindness for weakness is the endeavor of fools.
Roger Freeman is a savvy attorney with an impeccable reputation and a rather large following as witnessed by his overwhelming victory in the recent election. Hopeful voters in the 30th District took the time to research their candidates and vote for the "best" possible representative.
For this reason, I think it's important to value the integrity and dignity of this man. To demean him is a comment on the intelligence of the voters.
I'm wondering if Roegner thinks he's funny or clever? I'm not laughing. I just think he's rude.

has anyone seen it yet? it looks like a good movie from the comericals...and stuff.
I haven't seen it, i've heard mixed reviews of it but I've liked other films from the production co. Lengendary pictures such as 300 and Watchmen, so it might be good. I think this is not an adapted work from a graphic novel, but an original work, so it will be interesting to see.
The movie "Sucker Punch" was really superb! Last Sunday, I saw it and Me and my friends again planning to watch it at my home.

Abstract (EDOC: 18095)
The Maule earthquake of 27th February 2010 (Mw=8.8) affected ~500 km of the Nazca-South America plate
boundary in south-central Chile producing spectacular crustal deformation. Here, we present a detailed estimate
of static coseismic surface offsets as measured by survey and continuous GPS, both in near- and farfield
regions. Earthquake slip along the megathrust has been inferred from a joint inversion of our new
data together with published GPS, InSAR, and land-level changes data using Green's functions generated by
a spherical finite-element model with realistic subduction zone geometry. The combination of the data sets
provided a good resolution, indicating that most of the slip was well resolved. Coseismic slip was concentrated
north of the epicenter with up to 16 m of slip, whereas to the south it reached over 10m within two minor
patches. A comparison of coseismic slip with the slip deficit accumulated since the last great earthquake in
1835 suggests that the 2010 event closed a mature seismic gap. Slip deficit distribution shows an apparent
local overshoot that highlight cycle-to-cycle variability,which has to be taken into accountwhen anticipating future
events from interseismic observations. Rupture propagation was obviously not affected by bathymetric features
of the incoming plate. Instead, splay faults in the upper plate seem to have limited rupture propagation in
the updip and along-strike directions. Additionally, we found that along-strike gradients in slip are spatially
correlated with geometrical inflections of the megathrust. Our study suggests that persistent tectonic features
may control strain accumulation and release along subduction megathrusts.

Hello Spring!
Posted by Michelle on Apr 14, 2013 in Hayley, Michelle
We had a great lowkey Easter at home. Hayley said she figured she was too old for an Easter basket but she'll never be took old in my book.
Then we headed to the beach with my Mom, Stepdad and Aunt Cathie. It really was a wonderful trip. we got a fantastic beach house and just relaxed! Hayley spend an afternoon as an aquarium assistant down at the NC Aquarium, helping with feeding.
To round out our welcome to spring, we hit the UNC spring football game, a post-game party called The Bash and then back to campus for the 35th anniversary show of the Clef Hangers. We had our neighbors with us and for most of the day, the two kids Hayley babysits. Long but great day!

This guide by Deskmag.com gives some really great advice on how to negotiate your contract as a freelancer. Setting your rates as a freelancer can be a tough decision. Ultimately, you have to determine what your work is worth. How much do you need to cover your overhead costs and make a little profit? What is your client willing to pay? Pricing can really be a challenge for freelancers as it can make or break a deal. However, there are some basic factors that influence your rate including:
- time – How long will the project take? How busy are you with other work?
- costs – How much are the costs for tools and equipment to complete the project? Will you incur travel expenses? How about healthcare insurance bills, vacation savings, pension payments and taxes?
- skill level – How experienced are you on these types of projects?
- type of client - How well do you know the client? How valuable is the client / project to you? How likely are you to get future work from them?
- industry standards – How high is the market demand for your type of work?
These are just some of the questions you can ask when determining prices for your work as a freelancer – surely there are many more. Nevertheless, this guide to pricing gives some good tips on how to approach the task.

Hello friends..Can Someone help me by giving info about React OS?

What About ReAct OS?
Posted 21 January 2013 - 12:59 PM

The project has been around sine 1998 in various forms, and given the hobby nature of development I wouldn't expect it to do much more than boot. If any of the items on the following list (fairly extensive) are important to you or apps you may want to run, I'd recommend just sticking with Windows instead:
Posted 04 May 2013 - 02:52 AM
Some of their utilities are neat. They have ctm, a console-mode task mamager, and the freedos command.com (cmd.exe) and edit.com (edit.exe) recompiled to Winnt. You can get things like the device manager and user manager to function without all that other MS legacy attached to it.

Lipo at its finest
Lipo is the most popular and the safest plastic surgical treatment process carried out in the US today. It is an outstanding proceedure for reshaping muscle groups with diet regime and exercise resistant fat deposits. Liposuction is carried out on an outpatient basis (no overnight clinic stay).
