I will watch this
I'll be honest. The first time I saw the trailer for Warm Bodies, I immediately thought: the next Twilight. That could be a good thing or bad thing, depending on your preference, but a knock off nonetheless. Star crossed lovers from two different worlds that have to overcome life's hurdles. Why? Because their love is like none other. Warm Bodies gave that immediate impression from the trailers and clips that have appeared online. Thankfully, this zom-rom-com is a little bit more.
Whenever the latest apocalypse movie arrives, we all want to know the why and how. Our deep down end of the world survivalist wants to be prepared. This film opens with our hero, R (Nicholas Hoult), breaking to us the sad news that he doesn't know how it all went to hell. He and the film quickly tip their hats to all the zombie movies that came before, but that isn't what this story is about. In R's daily walks he ponders about what life was like before, in a monologue that gives the audience the character of R. His world is a vast wasteland where no one talks to each other. Each and every zombie is wrapped up in its own little world where everyone else is insignificant. Director Jonathan Levine peels back R's present to allow us a look at the past and we notice that people on their cell phones aren't all that different. It's a quick look, but a poignant one that resonates hard into the the foundation of the story.
In R's search for food he meets up with the closet thing he has to a best friend, M (Rob Corddry), and they're off with a pack of zombies to get some food. This is when R meets Julie (Teresa Palmer). In a great juxtaposition to R's life and existence we see the world in which Julie lives. She is the daughter of the leader of a city of survivors, a man so hardened by the world that even his own daughter compares him to the lifeless corpses that dwell outside. The die hard zombie fans wanting a little more exposition learn that it has been 8 years since the world turned upside down and no cure is in sight.
Julie is on a recon mission for supplies with a group of young survivors lead by her boyfriend, Perry (Dave Franco). When Julie's father, Grigio (John Malkovich) gives them a non-rousing speech about survival and knowing who the enemy is, Julie grabs Perry's hand for comfort. It is quickly brushed away. Its obvious that Perry has become distant. In their search for medical supplies, Julie's group is attacked by R and his. These aren't bungling kids doing their best. They are trained killers who are over run by a pack of hungry zombies. While the chaos ensues the film slows down as R notices this beautiful warrior woman killing his own pack. We know that R has fallen in love with Julie. In what can only be expected, Perry takes a bold stand against the zombies only to be killed by R. Of course, we all know, as it is with any romantic comedy, this moment is the one that will come back to bite R.
Still smitten with Julie despite killing her boyfriend, R moves in to protect her from the other zombies. He covers her in his own blood and her smell is now gone. The smell of "fresh meat" is key in this zombie tale and a device that enables R to keep Julie all to himself.
Warm Bodies has to take many departures from all the genres it is teetering on. Their are obvious connections to Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" here. So much so that one could argue this is nothing more than the Bard's work interpreted for a new generation. It's the blunt reminders of our Romeo eating Julie's boyfriend's brains at different intervals that remind us this isn't Shakespeare. The film explains why these zombies eat brains and it, too, mirrors what is happening in our own world. R eats brains to ingest memories and remember what it was like to feel alive. In our hustle and bustle of modern conveniences, like the cell phone scene at the beginning, we have lost touch with actually living in the world. It is a subtle lesson and not the only one Warm Bodies is trying to illustrate.
The stand out performance here is Hoult. Sure, he has the pretty boy look, despite the zombie appearance, but he sells the loneliness of R. His monologue is both heart felt and sad as he tries to understand the world he is dead in. Rob Corddry also brings his zombie to life on a completely different level. M has no monologue for the audience, yet a brief memory returns the spark of life to this zombie. Corddry keeps that spark alive in both his eyes and performance. It is a shame that Teresa Palmer really brings very little to the role. Her looks hide her age very well, but it is tough to believe that she is now a young woman who spent her teenage years growing up in a zombie wasteland. She brings a great fear to her situation, initially. However, she seems out of place in her own surroundings later.
Fear not, zombie enthusiasts, there is still plenty of carnage and creepy moments at work, too. The Bonies are our chief bad guys and supply brief, albeit light, moments of terror. The romantic comedy motif returns in the film and we have the comedic montage of our lovers getting to know one another. They have to be on their own and away from both of their worlds to understand each other better. It is over this time when R realizes that this all feels different. He likes Julie and does everything to come out of his dead shell.
This zombie romantic comedy can be interpreted in many different ways. It can be seen as a romantic comedy set with peculiar characters wrapped around the blatant use of an eighties soundtrack. Many will probably see it as a zombie filled Twilight rip off. There is more going on here than either of these two types of stories. Warm Bodies asks the question, can connecting with another person change the world?
If anything, it's nice a change of pace to have a different kind of zombie apocalypse movie.
I noticed that it was a little Romeo and Juliet like, but I realized reading this that they pulled the names from the play. I'm assuming they changed then ending.
Still not interested in this...feel it takes away too much of what zombies are and just try to change the actualy definition of what a zombie is.
Not sure if it's a good thing to have a different kind of zombie apocalypse movie. The last person to have done it really, really well is Shaun of the Dead but that was such a good movie, those are rare and far between.
Seems like a rental for sure.
Have this on my watchlist but will probably wait until Netflix/Redbox... trailer is funny tho
I can't get into Hollywood's latest genre whatever you want to call it - Horror, Fantasy & Sci-Fi for Couples, or Chick Horror, Date night horror. Not a big fan of Twilight, Hunger Games, HBO's True Blood, MTV's Teen Wolf and I'll pass on this one.
Just watched the original "Alien." It's loaded with sexual innuendo (The face hugger, the Alien birth, the shape of the Alien's head, the Alien's tongue, a rolled up document jammed down a woman's throat), but there's no love angle. Made me wonder how Ridley Scott got the movie made without some Studio Exec insisting that there be a love angle for the ladies. I guess they figured a strong female lead was enough.
fuck all this dumb crap.. this movie blows i don't need to watch it to know this, really people, this is so, so lame...
...and zombies never were about eating brains and all that crap, the origins of the zombie phenomenon were based in the old slave trades of Africa, and the fear of "...no rest in life, no rest in death..."
This movie did blow. Wife and I went for our date night. I was hoping for better, but it only took a record player in the first 5 minutes to lose me and then half way thru I dozed off and my wife had to nudge me back to life. It is VERY slow for the 1st half and then it picks up, but it doesn't make any sense. I would suggest to my friends here that you do not waste money to see it at the theater, wait for Netflix.
Picking die hard over this movie...........I now wish I had picked this movie.

Regulating Broadband in Chile: The Debate Over Open Access

English Hardcopy Black & White | $ 6.93
In 2011, Chile's Undersecretary of Telecommunications, Jorge Atton, was considering adopting a different policy toward regulating competition in Internet services than previously applied to voice telephony. Atton headed Chile's telecommunications regulatory agency, SUBTEL. For the past two decades, SUBTEL had encouraged the emergence of competition in telephone services in part by forcing the incumbent telephone company to give new entrants to the industry access to its customers. SUBTEL had circulated for public comment consultation document that raised the possibility of imposing "open access" requirements on the providers of broadband Internet services. This case discusses the debate over open access in Chile. This case can be used with the accompanying teaching note (HKS 878). HKS Case Number 1955.0.
learning objective:
This case is designed primarily to stimulate a discussion of the merits and demerits of open access and vertical unbundling in courses or executive programs on regulation or competition policy. It can also be used in introductory economics courses to illustrate the problem of natural monopoly, the concepts of scale and network economies, the definition of the relevant market for competitive purposes, and the problems of marginal cost pricing in industries with strong economies of scale.

The Late July/Early August Angels' Jekyll and Hyde Routine
In their last 5 games, the Angels have:
- Scored 46 runs!
- Allowed the opposing team to score 44 runs.
- Hit 15 home runs!
- Allowed the opposing team to hit 10 home runs.
- Struck out 30 batters!
- Were struck out 48 times.
- Came from behind to tie or pull into the lead so many times, they reminded me of the 2009 Angels who were among the league leaders in that regard.
- Blew the lead so frequently that none of those comebacks amounted to anything.
- Beat the division leading Rangers 2 times, one of which was more of a good old-fashioned shellacking.
- Lost to the division leading Rangers 2 times and the White Sox once, just for good measure.
- Left 40 guys on base.
- Went to the bullpen 16 times – 4 times apiece in the last three games.
- Moved out of 3rd place (yay!) to tie the A's for 2nd.
- Shot past the A's to a 2nd place that was just 3 games out of 1st place.
- Sank right back into 3rd place one game further out of 1st than they started.
- Brought me to my feet cheering repeatedly.
- Sat me right back down again in exasperation complete with loud expletives and an annoyed fist bump on the table for good measure repeatedly.
Wow! There is an inordinate amount of both !!! and #$@! in that list. Come to think of it, I suppose this is true in different ways both for Angels fans and for fans of the opposition. So what on Earth are we supposed to make of a crazy, simultaneously hot and cold, brilliant upside, scary downside team like this? I would say that the Angels really need to get key players back off the DL in top form, or top August form at any rate, and figure out what's broken with the starting rotation and fix it. This list just illustrates what those who have been watching the games already know – so many important pieces, essential to having a shot at the post season are already present, accounted for and how in the way the Angels are playing right now.
However, the sick and amazing bullpen of a few weeks ago has become a sick and ailing bullpen in the absence of Scott Downs. As much as Andrew Romine looks like he can fill a big league short stop's shoes in a few seasons, the defense and the base paths are both missing Erick Aybar. Recent, blessedly brief, stints with various strains for Mike Trout and Mark Trumbo did the lineup no favors. And the starting rotation is kind of, sort of, maybe just starting to come together…maybe. But Dan Haren did push back another start due to back issues. (On the one hand, way to go Danny for admitting you're hurting and taking the steps you need to fix it. On the other hand, ouch. We need him back strong and we need him back now.) Ervin Santana is restricted to three innings until he can get his head straight. And Zack Greinke, if the small sample size of the last two starts are any indication, is still working through his home vs. road issues, though I do admire a pitcher who toughs out a bad few innings and finishes strong.
The other thing I would take from this Jekyll and Hyde list is that the Angels season future is unclear. I know that a lot of folks saying it's over now, that this Rangers series was the "the moment" and the Angels blew it. But I don't buy that. Oh, I believe in momentum, but I also think that trying to pick out what "the moment" is in any season as it's happening is impossible. It's a little too much like writing history as it happens. Oh, plenty of people do write history as it happens and I can tell you as a history major that historians do value such analysis…but as primary source documents not as their intended purpose. The 2012 season is moving quickly. But we do have two solid months of baseball left and, for the Angels, much of that baseball will be played in the AL West. If they can get some guys back or start playing around their absence with more grace, well, anything is still possible.

I still think that the Angels will be there in the end. Too much talent and the best manager in the West. I know all about the hot/cold roller coaster that the season can be. "We just gotta play 'em one game at a time". Hehe.
I do hope you're right Mike. It would be a fun conclusion to the roller coaster.
— Kristen
The Rangers have been equally head-shaking; and trust me, after last season, one can never say never until the math makes it impossible.
Yeah Jeff, the AL West sure went from hot and wild to just plain strange fast. And to top it all of the A's are hot and making a legitimate run for it.

Yes, the environmentalist wackos have succeeded in convincing some people that the spray can of lacquer paint will be the end of all civilization. They are being slowly phased out of production. But fear not, the same wackos claim that there are even better paints that will not make the ice cap melt and flood the Miami Condo district. I have tried all of those so called "equivalents" but have not found one that I like nearly as well, but it warms my heart that I am not poisoning the brine shrimp in the arctic.
Nothing beats lacquer primer for fiberglass prepping, however I have found that it is a good combination to use lacquer primer, which is still going to be available for a few years, with a combination of the Tamiya super high quality water/alchohol based model paints. Yes, I said water based. I painted my latest boat with them and found them to be extremely durable, very scale in appearance, easy to apply, and best of all no solvent cleanup. Although they do recommend rubbing alchohol to clean your paint gun. The paints are waterproof when completely dry.
The only catch with these paints is that you need to wipe your subject down with an antigreaser like PPG900 wax and degreaser as they are VERY sensitive to oil from your hands and will fish-eye like crazy if you do not wipe it down first. Sand to 400 grit only. Any smoother than that and the paint will not adhere well.

The ring is pretty but a lot smaller than I thought it would be. However, the value is excellent. My fiance' and I went to purchase a bigger ring, and they gave us more for this ring than we originally paid for it.
Was skeptical buy a ring online but this ring was perfect!!! its been almost a year and it still sparkles like day 1!!!
This was a very pretty ring I got my wife for her anniversary. I had to return it because my wife told me it had black spots in it when she held it up to the light. Not sure what that means, but hopefully it makes sense to someone.
Overall I am very happy with this ring. I always read customer reviews before buying so that had a lot to do with the ring I finally decided to purchase. This was a replacement engagement ring as a gift from my hubby. I love the ring & have received a ton of compliments on it since I got it. Again, the only thing that was a disappointment was that the side diamonds are very tiny and the band is slightly thinner there. I also thought they would match the size of the diamonds in my wedding band...Other than that we are very pleased. The center diamonds aren't huge but very sparkly & it was what I was looking for!
Was really excited to get a nice ring without spending a fortune and this was the perfect match. It is not a large ring, but it has an elegant look to it and shines beautifully. Eye catching without being over the top!! Great buy and great price.
I received this ring the other day from my fiancee, my orginal diamond ring was gold and I always wanted white gold, i didn't know he was doing this for our wedding that is coming up! It sparkles like nothing I have ever seen before, it is really just so beautiful, I have already received a dozen compliments on it from starngers!!! If your unsure of this ring, try it, it is wonderful!

Web Marketing: Coming In for a Smooth Landing Page
When was the last time you went to an auto parts store just to browse for something? Ever drop in to check out the latest in oil filter options? Probably not. I'm guessing that unless you were gathering supplies to change your own oil or some other do-it-yourself project, you haven't set foot in an auto parts store. You go to an auto parts store—or grocery store or print shop, for that matter—with a specific purpose in mind. These are what we call destination businesses. People, just like you, go there with a specific purpose in mind, not to just look around.
Let's look at how this affects shopping or getting information online. A very common practice would be to go to Google and type in "oil filter, 2002 F150." You hit Enter and are shown a list of links related to that search. You scan the page and click on what looks to have the closest info to what you are looking for. The webpage that shows up next is called a landing page, and it better be a landing page that gives you exactly what you are looking for: the correct filter for your vehicle, further information about that filter, and the ability to purchase it, or information on which parts store carries that item. One key to success for that auto parts store is the quality and accuracy of that landing page.
You, like many others, are trying to understand landing pages. How are landing pages relevant to your printing company? What is the difference between a landing page and the home page of your website? And, most importantly, how can a landing page impact revenue?
Using a landing page is akin to using a laser target rifle versus a shotgun. When a potential customer uses the Internet to find a product or service you offer, having a page that is specific to their search gets them closer to what they need, when they need it, and is faster than making them navigate through an entire website. Now let's take a look at the core components of landing pages.
What Is a Landing Page?
A landing page is nothing more than a page of your website that has a specific call to action. The difference between a landing page and a general information page in your site is the landing page is designed for a very specific purpose that is the result of an action your client/prospect took. A landing page is a lot like telling someone what door you would like for him or her to use to enter your business, based on the direction they are coming from. In print form, such as a direct mail piece, that "door" to your business comes in the form of a specific URL, or Web address. If the customer or prospect enters that URL into a browser, it will take them to a specific page on your site rather than your home page. To return to our first example, the guy changing his oil walks in the door and is immediately in front of the oil filters, versus having to walk through multiple aisles filled with items he doesn't need. Call it instant gratification.
In the world of the Web, customers and prospects could be coming from an email marketing piece you sent, a search that was conducted in Google, a social media post, pay-per-click advertising, or a myriad of other options. In all of those examples, you want them to end up on a landing page that you designed with their very specific purpose in mind. As an example, have you ever been on Google looking for information, clicked on a link to a website, and seen everything but what you were looking for? This is a case of no landing page in place, or worse, a really bad landing page. You can create keywords for search engine optimization (SEO), so that when a person enters any of those keywords into, say, Google, the return will be a link to that landing page. Let's look at an example.
Ernie, of Ernie and Bernie's Auto Emporium, is looking for a new way to gain more traffic in his dealership and his website. Ernie, not knowing his current print provider can help him, opens up Google and types in "auto dealer marketing, Lincoln, NE." Ernie has a specific need and wants information. A printing company in Lincoln that we'll call ABC Printing has created a landing page specifically for auto dealers who need help with marketing. With ABC's keyword work, a link to their printing company appears on the first page of the return with a description "ABC has been helping Auto Dealers increase traffic and sales for 20 years." Ernie clicks on the link, and voila! He lands on a page ABC Printing designed especially for auto dealers who are looking for help with marketing. Ernie, excited by the fact ABC Printing specializes in auto dealers, calls to schedule a meeting.
Core Components of Landing Pages
Understanding how landing pages can affect getting the right prospects to the right services is only the start. For a landing page to be effective it must be well structured or you're better off without one. As in Ernie's case, ABC Printing knew its audience and what clients and potential customers were looking for. Ernie needed a printing company that understood the automotive industry, and ABC Printing was there waiting for him. The following are five essential components to creating a landing page when you have a captive audience.
1. Looks are everything. Your landing page must be visually interesting, yet simple. Key in on one product or one service. It's not the busy and jam-packed parts store with everything under the sun—it is the oil filter aisle.
2. Less is more. In short, your landing page has a clear call to action. This action could be "call us," download information such as a white paper, receive a coupon, join your email list, or numerous other actions.
3. Content is king. Your language is the same language that your clients think and speak. It is clear, concise, and describes what you do in a way that the Ernies of the world can understand. Remember, these words you choose will also appear in your direct mail copy, webpage, keywords, and headlines.
4. Shorter is better. Your key con-
tent and visuals should be within the frame of an average computer monitor. A little scrolling is OK, just don't make your customers work too hard. Remember, individuals are easily distracted and a little bit impatient.
5. Navigation is intuitive. Your customer needs to know quickly where they are, where to go, and what to do. Make it easy for the customer to get more info from your website if they want to take a look around.
What to Expect
You've put all this work into your landing page, so I encourage you to review your analytics. Analytics (these should be included with your website hosting) will tell you how effective your landing page is, how people arrived, what they clicked on, etc. Did they arrive through a search engine? Perhaps a link within your email marketing piece? Did they type the address into their Web browser and go directly to your page? Between your Web service provider and your email provider, you'll have this data at your disposal, which will allow you to figure out what is working the best. Once you know which marketing pieces are the most effective, you'll be able to capitalize on that success with more of the same or similar pieces.
There is one more thing to expect, and maybe it goes without saying: You should expect to get a lot of business from a good landing page. Remember what I said: "right content, right person, right moment." Put quite simply, your landing page should bring you clients who already have an idea of what they want, so when they land on your page, they are surprised and delighted to see that you are offering exactly what they are looking for. We call these people "qualified leads." And when you have qualified your lead, you are much more likely to take that next step of closing the deal and earning his or her business.

WandaHairDark BrownThick or Coarse HairFirst Time Flat Iron UserThis is the first flat iron I've ever used and needed this product for versatile hair styling options (remi lace front human hair wig). I chose this product over others because it of the various temperature ranges. It was priced just right (discounted) and after handling several irons during my selection process, this flat iron felt just right in my hand. Got home, immediately applied the iron to the thick wig hair and this iron smoothed it out quickly in a short time . . . I was impressed!! This was a good buy and so far I'm a satisfied customer. Thanks Bellezza.posted Apr 27, 2013Link to this post
Joyce S.Ny NyHairChemically Treated HairNot What I Expected.. At All!This iron seemed like a good idea. Good reviews for the most part, fair price but unfortunately it burned my hair to a crisp... Apparently the temp control doesn't have much control, only functioning a little bit. I used a temp gauge and found that when I set it to 380 degrees it was at 430... And when at 450 it was 435. My hair is color treated so this extra heat wasn't nice. To top it off, the plates are supposed to float and they just don't move like other irons with floating plates do. I returned it and got a Sedu. Was worth the money. Thanks folica for the fast exchange!!!posted Mar 4, 2013Link to this post

I don't know if this needs support from intel, but i would like to know what is needed to get an external graphic card over thunderbolt running in the (remote) future.
If it needs work from intel, is there any plan to support this?
Thanks for your answers.
Why should something prevent Oilrush from running? You only need float textures active and s3tc. That game does not require opengl 3.0 at all. If you want to use Unigine engine with TESSELATION you need opengl 4, that could be implemented in theory with ivi bridge. But: tesselation is so slow on lowend chips that you would get a slideshow. When you remember: the first Unigine Heaven releases could use some specific ATI only tesselation engine on older hd 4 cards as well, it worked but was something like 7 fps, i do not expect more from an integrated gfx. Newer Unigine releases did not have got support for that extension, there you need a full opengl 4 card. But oilrush looks so simple, that tesselation will not help at all - for that game you definitely do not need an opengl 4 card.
It would be great if the drivers could be tested in gaming scenarios. I've a rather new Dell desktop with "Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)" and I'm running kubuntu 11.10 with the i965 driver.
Desktop effects work fine and I've no complaint with the graphics in most scenarios, but when I play openarena, the screen is very dark and the brightness controls have no effect. Google shows this to be a common problem with gamers using intel graphics, and I haven't seen anything like solution. Needless to say, I've used nvidia graphics cards for gaming and of course the brightness controls work fine in openarena. Is there any hope on the horizon for gamers on intel graphics?
To all people which says that dropping old hardware support is reasonable, since new hardware is so cheap.
Please note that in many countries, you often buy older hardware because it is very cheap (so one can afford it), have good CPU, good memory, and can be used for browsing, watching movies, office work, etc with just onboard graphics. Such machine can be bought for less than 50$ (often 30$). And spending additional 20$ is often no option economically (because it makes hardware 50% more costly), and physically (because often such computers, do not have AGP/PCIe slots, or needs low-profile cards, which are much harder to buy or more expensive). There is also lots of cheaper and cheaper laptop computers, which have intel graphics, and sorry their graphics cards cannot be upgraded. And despite being old, they have good performance for everyday needs, and because they are cheap, more people can have own portable/personal computers. Not to say by buying new hardware we create more computer waste, so it is good to reuse old hardware. Often in PCs there is no really any difference between using old graphics chip and new one - most of the people doesn't really play games, or needs compositing so much, etc. Also it doesn't really matter if my computer will have graphics card drawing 20W or 50W of energy (we are talking about onboard Intel graphics which is rather 2/5 W difference), because other elements of computer (like CPU, monitor, HDD) takes more energy. Also price of electric energy is different in different places, and cost savings will not be visible immediately - you need more money initially to buy better hardware to save it late - yes it is all clever, but not always possible, because people doesn't often have spare money to do this bigger investment.
Dropping support for old hardware, even when you think just buying new hardware will be better option is not best idea. And for sure not possible for many people.
Nobody is asking for running Crysis on old hardware. We are just asking to continue supporting old hardware with same level of features as it exists today, potentially fixing software bugs, and maintaining it even in newer kernels and xorg. For me it is sufficient that 2D acceleration, XVideo, xrandr and suspend/resume is supported. And unfortunately when using VESA driver most of this support will be missing for older hardware!
Just to elaborate a bit more on that. Usually such level of support lies upon Linux distribution maintainers/packagers, as it basically only involves backporting patches from newer kernel/X.org/etc releases to the supported ones. In the past, Mandriva and Conectiva were notably good on this, for example, from my Mandriva experiences I recall that we were able to run geode and i810-based machines with 2.6.38 kernel and latest X.org for some OEM configurations. And Redhat also does a truly impressive job with fixes backporting in their distribution. Of course, many other distributions also provide a very high quality backports and support, but I haven't had much experience with other distros on such old hardware.
And of course, all of us being open-source people, we do try to support those hardware components even if they are no longer officially supported. Daniel Vetter for example still uses his i810-based card, and is able to work with it without much problems (well.. as long as hardware permits) today. Even in 1920x1080 mode for example - it still works .
But in general, the problem is that this process is extremely time and resource-consuming. So our team's goal is to stay focused on hardware enablement in new kernels and userspace components, which are more critical and need much more attention to be working. So we leave the backporting and support for historic (by historic I mean 'no longer manufactured nor supported by any major customer') hardware to the downstream (in this case, Linux distributions or OEM/ODM companies who provide such hardware). So for such kind of support, asking Intel OTC team directly won't help much, as we work primarily on latest versions of the projects (kernel, mesa, and so on); and with each Intel Linux Graphics stack release we announce which hardware configurations it was tested with and with which ones we guarantee it to work. The best way would be to contact the OEMs or distribution support channels, so they could escalate this via proper support channels and provide us resources needed for such support.
One example which immediately comes into mind is the GL_EXT_transform_feedback, which needs hardware support to track state changes between different batch buffers. So on pre-Sandy Bridge platform, it works with software-only implementation.
Other than that, I don't have a full list; I think I'll be able to come with one by the time Mesa 8.0 final will be released.
As for Unigine Oilrush - I haven't tried it myself, but the game developers have already said that they are *only* focusing on nvidia and amd solutions. So with it being closed-sourced, I don't know what features of GL it uses, nor how it works. My guess is that it should work, but I cannot promise anything without trying it, sorry.
Maybe, but nVidia and AMD do that. Intel - not (in general).nVidia and AMD doesn't leave backporting and support for historic hardware to the downstream, they working on it itself. From customer point of view result is much better.It's nothing but the joke. Most of it doesn't care about Linux, most of it doesn't care about support of old hardware, and will answer "install supported OS - Windows XP". In fact this way doesn't work (or work but very rarely). If you doesn't believe me - then try to contact with Acer about work of Intel GPU driver in Linux on your Acer TimelineX and tell us what they will answer to you.
Pink link.
I guess they tried to make it work with Sandybridge.. but diddn't manage to do so on Linux.
Maybe you could contact the developers what the exact problems were, so you can work out a solution.

Kemin offers a guaranteed source of proprietary rosemary extract. Our plant-based ingredients have both flavoring and antioxidant properties that delay oxidation and increase shelf-life. Managing the entire process - from plant breeding and growing to extraction and blending - allows us to guarantee a sustainable, consistent supply of high quality products.
The shelf life of processed meats is limited by microbial spoilage and oxidative rancidity. During grinding, phospholipid membranes are disrupted, exposing unsaturated lipids, heme iron, and pro-oxidant enzymes to oxygen, which accelerates oxidation.Treating your meat and poultry products with ingredients from Kemin can delay oxidative rancidity, while maintaining the flavor and color of your product.

While every dog is unique through their temperaments and toy preferences, a comfortable night's rest is important to all dogs. This is why a large selection of dog beds is available to suit the specific needs of each of your lovable canine companions. Whether it's the rugged line of durable dog beds he is dreaming about, or the selection of cooling and heated dog beds, the bed of his dreams is just a few clicks away. As a responsible and caring pet parent, you want your dog's sleep patterns to be healthy and as frequent as they need to be, which is why choosing the best bed from the many dog beds available is important. Whether you have a pair of energetic pooches who may benefit from some durable dog beds that can withstand their antics, or you live in a colder climate that may call for heated dog beds, give your dogs a good night's rest with dog beds they will enjoy.
A common pooch preference is to cuddle up in your bed or favorite chair because these pieces of furniture carry your scent. One way to inhibit your precious pooches from claiming your favorite furniture is to provide them with cozy yet durable dog beds that are too comfortable to give up. Boxed styles, along with donut and bagel styles offer ultimate comfort with the added cozy fit of stuffed bolsters. Cooling beds that keep your dogs cool in hot weather and heated dog beds that keep your dogs warm in cold weather provide comfort during varying climates. Meanwhile, senior pooches or dogs with joint, bone or hip problems can obtain support and comfort from orthopedic and ergonomically-designed dog beds that consist of memory foam, gel and other mixed fibers.
For your stylish pups, a chaise, sofa and bed set are available in popular prints. Meanwhile, reversible styles and designer dog beds in faux leather, along with super-soft Sherpa beds will please your pickiest pampered pooches. For the adventurous outdoor-loving dog that enjoys camping, cots, travel bunks and durable dog beds with strong steel frames, ballistic nylon and rip stop bottoms are available with straps and carrying cases. There is also an array of pillows, blankets and throws to add comfort and style to all beds, even heated dog beds. Make sure your dog sleeps well tonight and every night with a comfortable and durable bed.

Biography of Marcus Luttrell
Operation Redwing's mission was to gather intelligence on a Taliban leader with ties to Osama bin Laden. When the team encountered several goat herders, the SEALs questioned them and, after a debate about the rules of engagement, let them go. Shortly after a large Taliban force ambushed the four-man team on a remote ridge, Marcus Luttrell and his teammates valiantly fought for hours, displaying characteristic SEAL determination and bravery, refusing to retreat from the fight despite being heavily outnumbered. Hours later, after Marcus Luttrell had watched all three friends die and had literally been blown off the mountain by an RPG, a rescue helicopter carrying 16 special operation forces was shot down, killing all on board.
His face shredded, nose broken, rotator cuff torn, three vertebrae cracked, his body riddled with shrapnel and unable to stand, Marcus Luttrell began to crawl through the mountains in search of shelter. Help arrived by way of the Afghan villagers of Sabray. They took Luttrell in, cleaned up his wounds and, honoring their tribe's custom, protected him from the Taliban at the risk of their own lives. As the Taliban circled the village and the threats intensified, the village elder sought help from the nearest Marine outpost. Five nights after the nightmare began, Marcus Luttrell was rescued.
In his new bestselling book Service: A Navy SEAL at War, Marcus Luttrell turns his focus from his own experiences as a combat-trained Navy SEAL to the nature of service on America's battlefields and the soldiers who give their lives to defend their nation and each other.
Marcus Luttrell joined the U.S. Navy in March 1999 and became a combat-trained SEAL in January 2002. After serving in Iraq for two years, he was deployed to Afghanistan in the spring of 2005. As a SEAL, Marcus Luttrell was trained in weapons, demolition, and unarmed combat. He also served as Platoon medic.
After recuperating, he redeployed to Iraq for a second tour. In the spring of 2007, Petty Officer 1st Class Luttrell retired. He was awarded the Navy Cross for combat heroism in 2006 by President George W. Bush.
To honor his lost comrades from Operation Redwing, Marcus Luttrell established the Lone Survivor Foundation in 2010, dedicated to honoring and remembering American warriors by providing unique educational, rehabilitation, recovery, and wellness opportunities to U.S. Armed Forces service members & families.

MELT YOUR HEART with the children of Ecuador. The parade on Christmas Eve in Cuenca, Ecuador is world famous, both for its pageantry, beauty, and length.

1/5 Liter Glass Weck Jar
Beautiful jars for home canning
These jars are just the right size for home canning condiments. They are beautiful enough to use for home canned gifts (but I won't be giving them away unless I know the recipient will keep the jars!) and they look so beautiful in the pantry. If I could find my camera I would post pictures of my beautiful homemade mustard. My only beef is that the seals on some of the jars I purchased were a little old, although they did seal after processing, just not as tightly as the fresher seals. I do wish that World Market would stock the replacement seals and refrigerator lids for these jars. Heck, why not stock the entire canning system for them?!

Puma is the product of a sibling-rivalry moment between brothers Rudolf and Adolf Dassler, who in 1948 resolved an argument by splitting their Bavaria-based shoe factory into two new companies: Puma, founded by Rudolf, and Adidas, established by Adolf. In addition to creating iconic suede basketball shoes, Puma has outfitted elite athletes such as soccer legend Pelé and was the first footwear company to use vulcanized rubber and foam-free midsoles. These days the globally recognized lifestyle megabrand produces sneakers and stylish sweats for men, women, and children as well as underwear, accessories, sports league uniforms, golf clothing, chic outerwear, and watches — all emblazoned with Puma's signature leaping cat logo. Always an innovator, Puma has collaborated with high-profile couture designers such as Jil Sander and, through its luxury lifestyle brand Puma Black Label, Alexander McQueen and Mihara Yasuhiro.
