oh bitch please the magna carta was instrumental in bringing about political change in Yurop (and by extension, the entire modern day world). The AoC are just bullshit filler til the founders wrote the Big C.
I missed the joke :( Unless the AoC was the joke, at which point, yeah, we all know how retarded it was.

Mesa News ArchivesMesa's New Extension For Game Developers MergedIntel has been working to improve Linux gaming and as part of that earlier this year they published the GLX_MESA_query_renderer extension. The purpose of this GLX extension is to provide more system -- particularly graphics-related -- information than what's easily accessible right now. Just before the Mesa 10.0 branching, support for this useful extension was merged.
8 November 2013 - Renderer Extension - 6 Comments Xorg State Tracker Gets Stripped From MesaJust ahead of the Mesa 10.0 code branching, the Gallium3D Xorg state tracker has been eliminated.
7 November 2013 - Xorg ST Dies Mesa Gets Two New OpenGL 4.x Support Patch SeriesWith Mesa 10.0 that will be released in a few weeks time there is finally OpenGL 3.2 and 3.3 support. But with Mesa still being several years and revisions behind the latest Khronos Group specification, it's still a matter of implementing a lot of new GL4 functionality. Fortunately, there's many developers devoted to this task and on Tuesday there were patches for two new GL extensions.
6 November 2013 - Mesa GL4 - 19 Comments RadeonSI Gallium3D Gets UBO/TBO Support, OpenGL 3.3Just ahead of the code branching of the Mesa 10.0 release this week, Marek Olšák has committed a number of improvements to the open-source RadeonSI Gallium3D graphics driver for providing open-source to the Radeon HD 7000 series GPUs and newer on Linux.
4 November 2013 - RadeonSI Gallium3D - 57 Comments DRI3 Support Proposed For Mesa 10.0Following the X.Org Server 1.15 Release Candidate that introduces Direct Rendering Infrastructure 3 (DRI3 a.k.a. DRI3000), Keith Packard has proposed a set of patches that provide DRI3 support for Mesa drivers. The only patched hardware driver though for DRI3 is currently the Intel i965 DRI driver.
4 November 2013 - DRI3 Support - 14 Comments Freedreno Gallium3D Sees New ActivityIn addition to new improvements to Intel's Mesa driver, the Freedreno Gallium3D driver for Qualcomm Adreno/Snapdragon ARM graphics support has seen improvements too ahead of the Mesa 10.0 branching.

The Curious Case of the Empty Bottles
Not even Sherlock can crack this one
In beauty and likewise in life, there are just those things that find a place in your heart and never leave. The things that speak your language, and always pull you back in time and again. Blue houses with white trim, peach flavored shaved ice, and the smell of a Summer thunderstorm. Those are the things that I can't escape, the things that make me smile and that just scream 'MEGAN!!!' every time I encounter them.
When it comes to beauty products, there are a few that have that same effect on me. The ones that never last long enough and that always leave me wanting more. You know the type- the perfume you've been in a longer relationship with than your husband. Or the lipstick shade that was being discontinued so you bought out the remaining stock… at 5 stores. Those are the BEST kinds. The ones that feel like they're yours- and yours alone. Mmmm so good, when you find one of those!
I'm sharing my 'always empty & always on repeat' products with you in the video below. Maybe one of my favorites will end up being one of your favorites too!

Voters are used to symbols and a change in allegiance can lead to confusion
The grassroots political worker alone knows the importance of the symbol in an election. It is a well-known fact that a large segment of voters of the communist parties and the Congress look at the symbol rather than the candidate's profile.
With the two major coalitions either strategically fielding Independents or giving up traditional seats for a coalition partner to contest, it is left to the political foot soldier to sell not only the candidate but also his symbol.
Take the case of the Socialist Janata (Democratic)'s M.P. Veerendrakumar, who is contesting the Palakkad Lok Sabha seat. His party is a constituent of the United Democratic Front. But since it is not a recognised party, the Election Commission has allotted "ring" as its symbol.
"We spent the first round introducing the candidate. Half our job was done because Mr. Veerendrakumar is a known political leader. The second round now is becoming tougher. Our problem is that the Congress has always contested here. Therefore, our voters, especially in the rural Assembly segments, will search for the traditional "hand" symbol of the Congress," a senior district leader said.
Congress workers are facing another problem with symbols in the Kollam Lok Sabha seat allotted to the Revolutionary Socialist Party, a recent entrant to the UDF, which has fielded N.K. Premachandran.
The Election Commission has allotted the party its traditional "spade and stoker" symbol.
The RSP had fought the Congress in the Lok Sabha seat several times in the past as part of the LDF and had been a persistent opponent in some of the Assembly segments.
The problem the Congress worker faces in this constituency is how to convince the electorate that the symbol is that of a friend and not a foe.
The Communist Party of India (Marxist), which has fielded five Independents, does not face many problems with regard to selling their election symbol in some of the Lok Sabha seats.
In Ernakulam, where former bureaucrat Christy Fernandez is contesting as an LDF independent, the CPI(M) and LDF workers do not have much issues as the coalition has experimented with Independents here several times in the past.
Mr. Fernandez has got "television" as symbol, which had been earlier allotted to former MP Sebastian Paul.
In Chalakudy, the LDF appears to be better placed with actor Innocent's election symbol "pot", as some of the constituencies of Chalakudy were part of the erstwhile Mukundapuram from where the CPI(M) had fielded Lonappan Nambadan as an Independent.
But there could be some difficulty in selling its candidate's symbol in Idukki, where the LDF has fielded Joice George of the High Range Protection Committee, which fought against the Kasturirangan panel recommendations. The EC has allotted "torch" as Mr. George's symbol.
In Pathanamthitta, LDF candidate Peelipose Thomas, with "autorickshaw" as symbol, will have to work out strategies like some of his counterparts contesting elsewhere.
In Ponnani, LDF candidate V. Abdu Rahman has got the symbol "cup and saucer".
"Well, most political parties have its own methods of overcoming this problem. With the advent of electronic voting machine and the presence of several namesakes in the fray, the symbol becomes important," a CPI(M) worker said.
Bike rallies by youth wings, road shows with focus on the symbol, and house visits by squads with the exclusive brief to promote the symbol are some of the strategies the parties may adopt.
"Even though the campaign time is short, we are confident of executing our task successfully," a Congress leader here said.

Marlin Steel Wire Products Acquires Trumpf TruBend Press Brake for Precision, Speed, and Safety.
Marlin Steel's new Trumpf Press Brake has 132 tons of force and a 122″ (3098mm) bending length accelerating delivery times and improving the precision of the bends. The quality is superb for example the tolerances are extremely tight: 0.25 degree angle tolerance along the entire bed length of 122″ and the ram tolerance is 0.0004″ (10 microns).
Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) August 08, 2011
Marlin Steel Wire Products announces the addition of a new high-performance robot in its top-of-the-line robotics fleet. With precision up to 10 microns and 0.25 degrees along with 132 tons of force, the Trumpf TruBend 3120 will enable Marlin Steel Wire engineers to produce high-quality sheet metal work at increased efficiency and refined accuracy.
As part of Marlin's plan for expansion to meet increasing demands, the Trumpf TruBend 3120 press brake will enable Marlin Steel to fill job orders at unmatched rates. Kashyap Alur, Marlin Steel mechanical engineer who spear headed projects for Delta Airline's Pratt Whitney Engine racks and baskets, explains "the four axis back gauge enables us to perform complex bends so that the designs can have fewer welds. This allows us the conditions to have sheet metal fabrications with the integrity and consistency of steel as opposed to welding. Bending is also faster to execute." The beam moves at 200mm/sec as it reaches the bending edge, allowing for fast cycle speeds.
Christopher Elwood, Marlin Steel's mechanical engineer that launched the Becton Dickinson and Medtronic project, insists the best part of the new press brake for sheet metal fabrication is the ability to download the part directly from AutoCAD software. The same software is used to design Marlin Steel's punch layout programs, leaving software formats fully integrated. Most significant is the elimination of transposition errors. According to Elwood, "there is more than $50,000 in software alone to integrate all these systems. We have the most seamless system in the industry." It simplifies the process of designing parts, allowing Marlin Steel to ship faster and more efficiently.
"Quality is king at Marlin," said Marlin Steel mechanical engineer Daniel Hegarty. "The ram on our new press brake holds ten micron tolerance. I did not say millimeters… I said microns!" Hegarty was instrumental in the manufacture for telecommunication racks and forms shipped to China, Singapore and Ireland. The Trumpf TruBend 3120 is accurate to 10 microns and 0.25 degrees on a 122″ (3104mm) beam length.
With ultra-precise tooling of the new press brake, Marlin Steel can handle an array of angled bends. The use of up to 5 CNC-controlled backgauge axes result in angled bends processed precisely without a problem. Tony Witt, Marlin Steel Wire's mechanical engineer who was responsible for the recent Northrup and Raytheon projects stated, "122 inch bed and 132 tons of force broaden our ability to quickly bend thicker and bigger sheets than ever before." The Marlin Steel press brake brings flexibility to all job specifications no matter their shape, size or placement.
Marlin Steel's new Trumpf TruBend 3120 also reflects the company's championing of safety in the workplace. The Trumpf BendGuard is conveniently integrated into the bending process, combining operator safety and productivity. This safety mechanism uses laser technology to sense interfering obstacles, such as a human hand. After the obstacle is removed the bending process can continue at rapid speeds upon operator reactivation of the foot pedal.
These intrinsic values of performance, quality, reliability, and safety lend themselves to Marlin Steel's successes. In addition to expanding factory workspace and machine technology according to Drew Greenblatt, President of Marlin Steel, "we are ramping up our intellectual horsepower. We just hired two more mechanical engineers within the last week. This is our secret sauce. By the end of the month, 30% of our team will be mechanical engineers or designers." This emphasis on innovation is super charging Marlin's growth. The company grew 41% in the first six months of 2011 compared to 2010, "our best year ever" reports Greenblatt. The new Marlin Steel Press Brake will continue this trend, adding depth and variety to Marlin Steel's engineering solutions.

Host: George KnappMad Cow Disease in America
George Knapp (email) was joined by former cattle rancher turned vegetarian and food safety activist, Howard Lyman. People don't have a clue about the seriousness of Mad Cow Disease (called CJD in humans), and as many as 450,000 Americans may have the illness which can take anywhere from 10 to 60 years to incubate, said Lyman. The disease is thought to be spread via animal feed which contains ground-up animal parts. A 4 oz. burger, Lyman estimated, may have many as 500 to 1,000 different animals in it. Problematically, America only tests 1/10th of 1% of cows for the illness, and typically, older cows that would be more likely to have the disease aren't tested, he reported. Lyman, who declared, "I don't eat anything with a face, a liver or a mother," offered these recommendations: Don't consume wild animals such as deer and squirrels. If you eat beef, make sure it's organic and naturally raised. Avoid eating chicken-- the poultry is filled with hormones, chemicals and a ... More »

Former Silverado High School Head Softball Coach Indicted on Federal Child Exploitation and Pornograhy Charges
Las Vegas, Nev. – A man who was employed as the head softball coach at Silverado High School in Henderson, Nev., has been charged with multiple felony counts of sexual exploitation of a child and transporting child pornography, after he allegedly exchanged sexually explicit text messages and photographs with a minor girl, announced Daniel G. Bogden, United States Attorney for the District of Nevada.
Albert Silva Hernandez, Jr., 43, of Las Vegas, is charged in an indictment returned by the federal grand jury on July 10, 2012, with eight counts of sexual exploitation of a child and three counts of transporting child pornography. Hernandez is currently in federal custody, and is scheduled to make an initial appearance in federal court today at 3:00 p.m., before U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert J. Johnston. If convicted, Hernandez faces 15 years minimum on each sexual exploitation count and five years minimum on each child pornography count.
According to the indictment, the text messages were exchanged between Hernandez and the victim on Dec. 25, 2011, and Jan. 29, Feb. 1-2, 2012.
The case was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Clark County School District Police. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Nancy J. Koppe.
The case has been brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.usdoj.gov/psc. For more information about internet safety education, please visit www.usdoj.gov/psc and click on the tab "resources."
An indictment contains only charges and is not evidence of guilt. The defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the government has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Q The 4k content I see on UHDTVs in stores looks awesome. But when I ask the salesperson to flip the feed to regular HD (from Direct TV), the picture doesn't look nearly as good. It looks worse, in fact, than the same content shown on the standard HDTVs, and certainly worse than on my 10 year-old Sony SXRD. My question is, if I buy a new UHDTV, how can I make the picture look as good as what I'm used to seeing on my Sony? There isn't much 4K content yet, so what I'd mainly be watching is regular HD.—Ben Soave
AT A GLANCE Plus Cheap and easy to set up Boosts Wi-Fi signal in far-flung areas Minus Approaches the cost of a new 802.11ac router
THE VERDICT The DAP-1520 provides a simple and inexpensive way to improve spotty Wi-Fi coverage and set the stage for improved streaming.
Tell me you haven't had to deal with Wi-Fi drop-outs when you move to the outermost regions of your humble abode with a laptop or tablet in tow? You know, the old 4-3-2-1-0 bar shuffle… I got so fed up with fighting to hold onto the signal from the sofa in my family room that I planned to move my router to a more central location. It sits in my basement office at one end of the house, admittedly, about as far away from central as you can get. But when I thought about having to snake wires across joists and up through the floor, I decided to find another solution—a quick fix, if one existed.
At last September's CEDIA Expo, Steinway Lyngdorf offered a sneak peek of the P200 surround processor it plans to start selling in early 2015 for $18,000. (No, that's not a typo.) The P200 distinguished itself as the first processor to support both Dolby Atmos and Auro-3D. Equipped to handle multiple speaker setups, it's designed to switch between speakers positioned for either format at the touch of a button. To get the story behind this one-of-a-kind product, we spoke with CEO/CTO Thomas Birkelund.

I really think it may be joy.
I'm just speculating here.
When I weary of a doctrinal compatriot's constant knocking of the Church to the extent that it essentially becomes their raison d'blog, I stop seeing "prophet" and start seeing "scrooge." I see the pervasive unhappiness with the spiritual quality of fellow believers not as indication of the blogger's properly calibrated prophetic barometer but as indication of their thinly veiled joylessness.
Remember: only God gets to vomit people out.
There's a difference between being critical and having a critical spirit.
The message of the Gospel is so thrilling. It should produce in us great joy. The message of the cross should create in us a joy unspeakable and filled with glory.
And when we look out at a Church in biblical and doctrinal and spiritual disarray, a culture in need of reformation, we should commit to this endeavor diligently and fiercely, but despite encountering things that can (and should) disturb or even anger us, our pursuit of reformation should be characterized not by anger or despair, but by great, overflowing, boundless joy.
What an incredible day that the message of the gospel is a scandal to even those who claim the name Christian!

Contract workers on Thursday staged a dharna at the GVMC office under the leadership of CITU-affiliated Greater Visakha Municipal Corporation Employees' Union.
They were demanding, among other things, wages of Rs.12,500 to contract and outsourced workers, health cards, crediting Rs.3.5 crore of PF and ESI arrears to their accounts, treatment at ESI hospital, payment of wages by the 10 of every month, holiday on Sunday to all sanitation workers and release of money for stitching charges, soaps and oil for three years, according to union president G. Subba Rao and general secretary P. Venkata Reddy.
Hundreds of workers under sanitation, street-lighting, water supply participated at the dharna in front of the gate. A posse of policemen was present.
A union statement said Additional Commissioner (General) K. Ramesh came to the protest venue and assured them action would be taken on their demands.
It said workers relented only after a written assurance was given. Thursday's protest was preceded by relay fasts for three days.
In a memorandum, the union said the problems of contract and outsourced workers were also taken up at a protest in a "Chalo Hyderabad" programme on June 12. But it elicited no response.

text: I can't wait for the Trump debateBy Dean Obeidallah, Special to CNNUpdated 9:16 AM ET, Mon December 12, 2011Donald Trump and Newt Gingrich at Trump Tower in New York last Monday.Story highlightsDean Obeidallah: I'm stoked for the GOP presidential debate moderated by Donald TrumpFinally, a debate led by a master showman with little concern for facts, Obeidallah saysObeidallah: Instead of endorsing a candidate, Trump could declare: "You're all fired!" It's about time we treat our candidates like reality show contestants, Obeidallah saysThere's a big red circle around a certain day on my calendar in late December, and, nope, it's not Christmas. It's December 27 -- the date Donald Trump will be moderating a Republican presidential debate on ION Television. (I have also circled December 23 to give myself four days to find out exactly where ION Television is located on my cable system.)But now, alarmingly, Trump is reportedly thinking of canceling the debate because it has not been embraced by many of the Republican presidential candidates.All I can say is: Mr. Trump, if you are reading this--or if one of your many assistants are reading this to you--please don't cancel the debate! This past Saturday's Republican debate did have its moments, but it was missing one thing: You! "The Donald" -- business tycoon, reality show star, a man who has his own signature cologne, "Donald Trump: The Fragrance," own line of water, Trump vodka, and even a men's tie collection bearing the Trump name. I implore you to ignore the professional politicos who have come out adamantly against your debate, such as Ari Fleischer, President Bush's former press secretary, who labeled the debate: "An invitation to a circus." And Mark McKinnon, a former Bush advisor, who declared: "This Trump debate is proof the inmates have taken over the asylum."Sure, Jim Lehrer and Wolf Blitzer are thoughtful, well-informed journalists who have proven to be very adept as the moderators of past presidential debates, but has either of them had a line of steaks named after him? Nope. Trump has.

It's not enough that these candidates are running to be leader of the free world -- now they have the extra bonus of possibly being The Donald's anointed one. From an electoral point of view, your endorsement will likely sway hundreds and hundreds of voters.But knowing you, I would not rule out a classic Trump surprise. Instead of endorsing any of the candidates, you could glare at these wannabe presidents and declare: "You're all fired!" Then, in quintessential Trump fashion, you'd hire yourself as president. Genius!No one could dispute this all adds a new dimension to the presidential debates. There's absolutely no chance any of this cool stuff happening if Tom Brokaw were the moderator.Indeed, this scenario sounds so amazing to me that I propose we mandate that all future presidential debates be moderated by reality show stars. How much fun would it be if presidential debates were hosted by people like Mike "The Situation," "The Cake Boss" Buddy Valastro, the bald guy from "Pawn Stars," or a gaggle of Kardashians? I can assure you that with these moderators, the debate questions would be far more interesting. Instead of boring stuff about job growth, the impact on the U.S. financial markets if the eurozone collapses, or elections in Egypt, our reality show stars would focus on issues like: How to get great abs? Who knows the best remedies for a hangover? What is the best self-tanner? Which candidate has the coolest tattoos? (I'm guessing Ron Paul.)And why stop with debates? Let's also subject our candidates to a physical challenge to see what they are like under fire. I propose the candidates all go on the reality show "Wipeout." How priceless would it be to see Rick Perry or Michele Bachmann trying to avoid being batted into a pool by a huge padded pole?There could even be a red carpet for our celebrity hosts and presidential candidates as they arrive. Throngs of paparazzi and fans lined up, yelling things like: "Newt, who are you wearing?" But back to your debate, Mr. Trump. If you're still on the fence about going forward with the debate, this should push you over the edge: Sarah Palin has now endorsed it.

Can Cairo clean up its informal rubbish collection system?
14 April 2014 Last updated at 12:19 BST
Piles of rubbish and overflowing bins are a familiar sight on Egypt's streets.
However, in a new attempt to clean up Cairo, the government is turning back to its traditional rubbish collectors - the Zabaleen.
Sally Nabil reports.
