Sophisticated system design features and installation methods have paralleled this evolution, resulting in improved economy as well as superior performance. |
High-Performance Facade SystemsEnclos is the leader in high-performance facade systems. We were the first to design and proof a blast resistant facade system through destructive testing performed at White Sands Missile Base. We have developed and tested impact-resistant facade systems that have been approved by Miami-Dade County for use in hurricane zones. Our projects have often required the development of curtainwall systems with enhanced thermal and/or acoustical properties.
Structural Glass FacadesThe integration of glass and structure is a predominant attribute of this expressive building form, often employed to maximize transparency in large public spaces. Enclos has played a leadership role in the development and application of this cutting-edge technology, with a range of structure types including cable trusses, cable nets, grid shells and glass structures. Our glazing system types for structural glass facades include point-fixed types in both drilled and clamped versions, as well as framed system types; all custom designed in response to specific project requirements. |
Art Glass FacadesEnclos has provided art glass solutions on many high-profile building projects, often working with glass artists and architects in developing innovative designs. Our talented design team has an expertise with glass materials and processes that greatly facilitates the development of novel design solutions.

The State Of OpenGL 3.x, 4.x Extensions In Mesa
Posted by
Michael Larabel
on 07 October 2013 04:29 AM EDT
a number of new OpenGL extensions
having been recently added to Mesa, here's a look at where the OpenGL 3.x/4.x support stands today in the open-source OpenGL implementation.
Following all the recent code activity about one month out from the next release, the "GL3.txt" documentation was updated to reflect Mesa's current position in catching up to the latest Khronos Group OpenGL specifications.
What's still blocking Mesa from advertising OpenGL 3.2 compliance is the GL Shading Language (GLSL) 1.50 changes not yet being complete but work is in progress. The
OpenGL Geometry Shaders
support is also only
partially complete
at this time.
The good news is that once OpenGL 3.2 support is in place, the only work remaining to advertise OpenGL 3.3 compliance are some new GLSL 3.30 changes, but most of those shading language changes are already complete. Developers are hoping for the next release of Mesa will have OpenGL 3.2~3.3 compliance, which would make the new three-month release as
Mesa 10.0
rather than Mesa 9.3. There was
a recent presentation about the next Mesa
in case you missed it. We'll see in the coming weeks what ultimately happens.
In terms of hitting OpenGL 4.0 support, that isn't likely until sometime in 2014 as there's many GL Shading Language changes, some GL4 extensions are complete, other extensions are only started, and some extensions like the GL_ARB_tessellation_shader haven't even been touched yet.
A fair amount of work on OpenGL 4.1 and OpenGL 4.2 has also been committed, but when it comes to OpenGL 4.3 and OpenGL 4.4 there's still much work left to be completed. Unless there's a fundamental shift and major investment to Mesa, I'd find it unlikely to have OpenGL 4.3~4.4 support in the project until at least 2015.
As usual, the Mesa driver in the best shape for supporting the most OpenGL 3/4 functionality is the Intel DRI driver with most of the major Mesa advancements happening by Intel Open-Source Technology Center developers around their investment in the open-source driver stack.

This week there will be no bento for my boy because it is the Chinese New Year break and he will not be attending school. Actually I feel a bit odd for no need to get up early in the morning to prepare bento for JY. LOL
This morning JY requested for fried eggs as breakfast besides his usual milk with biscuits or bread. Since I had plenty of time to spend now as I'm not rushing to work, I thought maybe can make him something cute instead of just plain fried eggs.
I cut some carrot flowers and boiled them, and then cut the fried egg into little teddies and arrange them on a plate (the remaining of the egg went into my stomach ). I just applied some butter to the carrot flowers, and added the facial details with seaweed for 2 of the teddies which were more visible.
Tadaa…job done and mission completed, JY loves them!Â

Handball: Is It A Perfect Fit For A Weight Loss Program?
When it comes to finding the right exercise program to add to your weight loss program, should handball be chosen above other possibly better exercise routines? That decision will have to be made by both your doctor and yourself. Handball to be sure is fast paced and a team sport of between two and seven players. It can be exhausting to play especially if you are not in shape and combining this with a weight loss program may not be a good choice for some people who are trying to lose weight.
The decision to use handball as the exercise of choice for weight loss will have to be made by the individual. There are many benefits of playing handball no matter if it is court or team play. You are constantly moving and burning calories. You also can build up your cardiovascular system as well as tone and strengthen every muscle in the body. You will also build flexibility and have a good time playing handball. The risks are minimal if certain things are followed such as eye protection and gloves for playing handball either on the court or as a team.
However on the opposite side of the coin, there are many different people that are trying to lose weight that this will not fit. Determination by a doctor is the best idea when it comes to putting together a weight loss program that includes exercise, proper nutrition, hydration and rest. Handball is not for everyone. It takes time to build and develop endurance and some may have underlying health problems such as bad legs or knees that would prevent them from playing. This would not be the best choice when it comes to this type of person.
The main key here is a doctor's advice. They are the key to safe weight loss and a good weight loss program that will allow you to get back into shape while losing the weight. It takes time to build up strength, flexibility and agility while losing weight. However the benefits of playing hardball are many. You get cardiovascular toning and strengthening along with motivation to keep playing especially if you are on a team. You can also burn a lot of calories when playing handball while having fun and getting toned and fit all at the same time.
So the decision about whether or not to include handball in your weight loss program should be jointly decided between yourself and your doctor. While it is helpful to play handball, you may not want such a rigorous exercise for yourself. This is why it is good to weigh the pros and cons of any type of exercise program when you are putting together a safe and effective weight loss program for yourself under medical supervision. There are many different facets to a great weight loss program, and a doctor can put together a great program for you that might include handball as an exercise program. Having a balanced weight loss program can help you to lose weight effortlessly.

An Archaeology of Interaction
Network Perspectives on Material Culture and Society
Carl Knappett
Think of a souvenir from a foreign trip, or an heirloom passed down the generations--objects allow us to think and act beyond the proximate, across both space and time. Through investigating this uniquely human capacity, this innovative volume argues that academic opinion about material objects tends to only consider individual artefacts, as in souvenirs and heirlooms, when what is truly distinctive in material culture is the capacity of objects to work together in "networks." Objects rarely stand independently from each other, but are rather interconnected in whole constellations with almost endless associations. It is these associations which we make that instil objects with their power, enabling them to evoke distant times and places for us. However, the immense
benefits of object networks are countered by their costs. In objectifying and controlling artefacts in networks, human communities can lose track of the recalcitrant pull that artefacts exercise. Materials do not always do as they are asked. We never fully understand all their aspects. This we grasp in our everyday, unconscious working in the phenomenal world, but overlook in our network thinking. And this failure to attend to things and give them their due can lead to societal "disorientation."
Using archaeological case studies from the Bronze Age of Greece throughout, Knappett develops a long-term, archaeological angle on the development of object networks in human societies. He explores both the benefits such networks create for human interaction across scales, and the
challenges faced by ancient societies in balancing these benefits against their costs.

§ Mr. MaclennanTo ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if he will list the expenditure incurred by his Department, agencies and non-departmental public bodies on(a) the setting up and (b) the operation of websites, indicating the cases in which the expenditure has been above that budgeted; and if he will list for each website (i) the topics that have been covered, (ii) the current average number of hits per month and (iii) the estimated expenditure on each website for each of the next three years. [116202]
§ Mr. Chris SmithThe Department's new websitewww.culture.gov.uk was launched on 28 February.
It is designed to meet customer requirements—allowing new and regular visitors to discover more about the cultural assets of this country and the role of the Department within Government. It is a portal site which guides the browser through an array of governmental, public body and other cultural and sporting sites. The Department's news releases, publications, consultation papers and extensive contact information are all available on the site.
The site cost £80,000 to redevelop. This included costs for:
- tendering the work;
- site redesign and development;
- the introduction of a text only version of the site to help users with visual disabilities;
- the introduction of a search engine; and
- the incorporation of a previously separate lottery site which allows browsers to have access to information about every lottery award made since the introduction of the National Lottery.
The cost of the site redevelopment was met from the Department's 1999–2000 publicity budget—which was within budget for the year.
The operation of the site was within the budgeted £40,000.
392WThe new site averages 34,000 hits per day, or just under 1,000 visitors per day.
Expenditure in future years to maintain the site is as given above. There are no current plans for further redevelopment of the site.
Information on the costs of non-departmental public body sites could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

Has anybody used or own a Nirey knife sharpener? Thanks' for all your help. I have several Japanese knives and the web site(and video) says that this one will sharpen on a 15% angle. I use a hardened steel every time I use them,but would like to be able to maintain the 15 to 16% angle.
I would wash them first but I still use them.
Any type of gimmick sharpener will ruin your blade. You have Shuns and Globals so you should use the care they deserve. A steel that is sold with sets and in stores is not a sharpener, even if it says so. Its a honing steel meant to keep the blade aligned. Get yourself a diamond sharpener off the net. Usually 20 bucks. Same concept as a honing steel except it actually sharpens and its shape helps you with your angles. Also, if you have the cash and you want to keep your knives perfect invest in sharpening stones. They sell different grades. Medium and fine works well. Heavy is for the really beat up knife. Always use them wet after theyve soaked in water for an hour. As said...any gimmick sharpener with set angles and/or motors will destroy a beautiful piece of art. I use the diamond steel on my Wusthof Classic all the time. Its flawless.
re: etub3030
I think I might just invest in some stones thanks'. I had a set of Wusthof's but gave them to a friend when I started collecting the myrid Shun knives. I do like a Japenese knife all around. I think they have the shape and feel for me,also sharp as anything I could get myself.
re: etub3030
Thanks' so much for all your worthy advice. I'm getting hungry ,so I think I'll go cut up some onions for my hamburger right quick. This IS a great site to learn from and just talk about my favorite kichen tools. Thanks' so much all of you. I'll be on here soon. Have a great night.
You know what? That look just like the Master Chef sharpener. Jump to ~1:20 min and you will see exactly the same footage:
I agree with cowboy. I don't think that is a good tool for your needs. Average knives, sure. Nice Japanese knives, no. It won't work well for a few reasons. First, the speed is too high and it can overheat your steel and really mess the tempered steel up. Second, it can chip a high steel knife. Third, it does not really have a fine grit, so the knife can never attain a good finished edge.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Thanks' I did just order a couple of veg. knives from the Wokshop. I can't wait to get them inthe mail. I suppose that would be a great knife to try it on. I'm not very good with a water stone so have to rely on electric for now. I have have my Shuns for 2 years and havn't had to sharpen them because I do use their steel every time I use these knives.
re: Nugentrocks
You don't want to use the Shun honing steel.... there are several lengthy discussions. You can search on CHOW here.
I have never owned the Edge Pro, but most agee that it is probably the best knife sharpening gagdet:
re: Nugentrocks
I have never used a belt sander. I heard it is not that useful for most people at home. It is really for major works. For every day sharpening, you only to remove very small amount of metal, so I think a belt sander is a bit of an overkill. The Edge Pro should not eat away too much steel because it is a very manual tool. I am very sure it will eat less metal than most electric sharpeners.
I don't own a Takeda knife, but I do know Takeda makes highly respected carbon steel knives. Cowboy will know a lot more than I do.
re: Nugentrocks
I've used a belt sander at times. I wouldn't suggest using it for some Japanese knives, though Shuns can take it. Even more so, I wouldn't suggest it to someone who couldn't already sharpen well on stones. It's easier to mess up a knife (or send one flying across the room at high velocity) with a belt sander.
It's really best for large reprofiling jobs or for sharpening many knives quickly.
The edgepro on the other hand is just a foolproof (but expensive) way to sharpen knives on stones.
re: Nugentrocks
Takedas are nice - they are handmade Japanese knives made with an Aogami Super steel core (a carbon steel) and wrought iron cladding. A Takeda gyuto will tend to be very thin and have very acute edge angles fresh from the maker. They also tend to have distinctive profiles - the gyutos, for example, are cut like extra long santokus.
They got a reputation as a good buy for hand-made knives over at knife forums (and they are priced well, all things considered), but after they gained some notoriety, I also started hearing people complain of issues with being too flexible or inconsistent heat treatments of the steel. People who like Takeda seem to tend to buy several of em. If you get a good one, you can expect a nice piece of steel ground into a very thin, precise edge - very high performance for the money, along with the charm of a handmade knife.
re: Nugentrocks
I am not familar with Nenohi Neonox. I only read bits and pieces and the last time I read is that people think it is not that great. It is good, but it is expensive and it is just not impressive especially when the price is factored in. Again, I have no personal experience. It is just what I read.
You can read it here:
I think Morimoto probably is using Henckels Miyabi knives now. :) Because he is the spokeman for that line of knives now.
Do you mean their electric sharpeners? Like in this video?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXfGYd...That sharpener is set at a fine angle for Japanese knives. It uses a fairly fine abrasive at a very high speed - 2500 rpms. Even their domestic model runs at 1300 rpms.
Basically, that can get a knife sharp. It can also quickly put a nasty regrind into your blades. Or ruin their temper. Especially hard blades might also chip, though I wouldn't expect it. I wouldn't recommend it for especially nice Japanese blades. It would work as an especially quick way to sharpen cheaper knives. Even then, make sure you have a knife you don't mind ruining to practice on.
What knives do you have specifically that you were hoping to use the Nirey on?
re: cowboyardee
Yes that's the one cowboy.I'm a knife freak I guess you could say. I have a set of Shun Pro,Shun Elite several classics and a Bob Kramer. I also have Globals,but don't like them much. Like you said I would have to try it on one of my cheaper knives. I would think it does work pretty well though. Thanks' for the feedback.

Customer acquisition costs
August 2007 (School for Startups)
Similar Articles:
Acquisition costs can vary significantly from industry to industry, and the methods of measuring them from company to company. It is therefore crucial when researching potential acquisition costs for a prospective venture that you understand exactly how any data you find has been created. Furthermore, it is futile trying to calculate or manage CACs for your business if you have no accurate way of telling how many customers each form of advertising generates.
For example, CACs for a campsite could be as much as £7 when traditional print advertising is used. This is largely due to print advertising being priced on the basis of the number of people who will see the advertisement. Internet advertising, on the other hand, is priced according to the number of people to whom the advert is useful ( those who click the link to your website) and this can reduce CACs to as little as 15p per customer. With no guarantee of repeat business and an average spend of around £20 per customer, print advertising looks very expensive indeed. />
On online service provider which aims for long term monthly subscriptions, on the other hand, can afford far higher CACs. Netflix, the online DVD rental company, has CACs of around $30 (£15). This is calculated simply by dividing total marketing spend by the number of additional subscribers in the same period, and careful monitoring has shown that despite a gradual drop, the CACs for Netflix have remained more or less constant. This has enabled the company to concentrate more on retaining customers, rather than throwing more money at marketing which may well have no effect.

A FIRE forced a school to close after flames tore through the building's roof.
A FIRE forced a school to close this morning after the flames tore through the building's roof.
The blaze happened at St George's C of E School, in White Lion Road, Amersham, at about 7.30am this morning.
It is believed the fire was a result of an electrical fault, although the cause is still under investigation.
The school will remain closed today but is expected to open as normal on Monday.
New headmaster, Toby Long, who started at the school on September 1, said: "A small fire was detected this morning, we phoned the fire brigade and they dealt with it quite quickly.
"Since I arrived last week everyone has been so helpful, the children have been great and the parents very welcoming, so it's a shame we had to close the school today but it will hopefully be business as usual on Monday."
It is believed most of the children's families were notified about the fire this morning by the school's 'text' system due to the phone lines and Internet being down.
The fire took hold in a roof void of a single-storey building above a corridor.
Five fire crews dealt with the incident by using one jet, two hose reels, four sets of breathing apparatus, a thermal imaging camera and a PPV fan to ventilate the area.
A spokesman for Bucks Fire and Rescue Service said: "The fire was dealt with quite quickly, within about half an hour. The amount of damage caused and severity of the fire was thankfully quite limited due to it being dealt with quickly."

No she doesnt get one everytime, but she knows me= good things. Sure she gets a scolding when she's nasty to other people, but I can't really change that because they wont work with her, they just assume she's a lost hope, and treat her as so.

Private investigator Jasmine Shar has been hired to find Tessa Garrion, a young woman who has vanished without trace. What begins as a simple search awakens a malevolence that has lain dormant for three decades. As Jasmine uncovers a hidden history of sex, drugs, ritualism, and murder, she realises she may need a little help from the dark side herself if she's going to get to the truth.

"Chris Brookmyre can do no wrong"
I love Chris Brookmyre's books and this is no exception. Also enjoyed Sarah Barron's narration.
With a limited number of suspects it seemed incredible that I could not suspect, even for a moment, the right one. It kept me glued and intrigued. I was suitably misdirected and entertained so can throughly recommend the book - story, performance et al.
"Clever twisty plots"
Love this author's ability to shock! The book is gritty without being gratuitous and the twisty turny plots and slowly revealed truths are fantastically driven along by characters that grab your attention. Loved it!
"Jasmine sharp is back"
After where the bodies are buried I was dubious about this character but its all come good in the one, great narration, great twists & turns, all in a must listen,
"Really Boring"
What a drag this book was, it also didn't help that the narrator sounded like she was sucking a sweet the whole time she was reading, most annoying.
"Not a classic Brookmyre, but a solid one"
Probably not. It gave it all on the first run.
It's intellectually challenging, you know the paths will cross, and he manipulates your expectations in a way that makes it surprising almost all the time.
Many - she is a wonderful performer and I can recall most of her characters in this book.
"Better than ever."
Yes. Devilishly clever plot, great characters, wonderfully read.
The multi-layered texture with which Brookmyre takes one under the skin of contemporary Scotland. The way it weaves different strands together to make a not-too-neat whole.
Probably the one where Jasmine takes the last train home. The shooting scene at the Lodge was also in contention.
The ending. And the torching of Jasmine's car.
Brookmyre seems to have found a second breath if not an entirely new voice - thankfully. The anarchy, black humour and surprising insights are all there, and in Jasmine Sharp and the other companion characters he has created a pond in which I suspect he'll play for some time.

Break up the heavens, O Lord! and far,
He lifts me to the golden doors; Miss Waghorn, of late, had been unusually trying, and especially full of complaints. Her poor old memory seemed broken beyond repair. She offered Madame Jequier her weekly payment twice within ten minutes, and was quite snappy about it when the widow declined the second tender. 'But you had the receipt in your hand wizin ten minutes ago, Mees Wag'orn. You took it upstairs. The ink can hardly be now already yet dry.' But nothing would satisfy her that she had paid until they went up to her room together and found it after much searching between her Bible and her eternal novel on the writing-table. 'Forgive me, Madame, but you do forget sometimes, don't you?' she declared with amusing audacity. 'I like to make quite sure--- especially where money is concerned.' On entering the room she had entirely forgotten why they came there. She began complaining, instead, about the bed, which had not yet been made. A standing source of grumbling, this; for the old lady would come down to breakfast many a morning, and then go up again before she had it, thinking it was already late in the day. She worried the pensionnaires to death, too. It was their duty to keep the salon tidy, and Miss Waghorn would flutter into the room as early as eight o'clock, find the furniture still unarranged, and at once dart out again to scold the girls. These interviews were amusing before they became monotonous, for the old lady's French was little more than 'nong pas' attached to an infinitive verb, and the girls' Swiss-German explanations of the alleged neglect of duty only confused her. 'Nong pas faire la chambre,' she would say, stamping her foot with vexation. 'You haven't done the room, though it's nearly dejooner time!' Or else--'Ten minutes ago it was tidy. Look at it now!' while she dragged them in and forced them to put things straight, until some one in authority came and explained gently her mistake. 'Oh, excuse me, Madame,' she would say then, 'but they do forget so often.' Every one was very patient with her as a rule. And of late she had been peculiarly meddlesome, putting chairs straight, moving vases, altering the lie of table-cloths and the angle of sofas, opening windows because it was 'so stuffy,' and closing them a minute later with complaints about the draught, forcing occupants of arm-chairs to get up because the carpet was caught, fiddling with pictures because they were crooked either with floor or ceiling, and never realising that in the old house these latter were nowhere parallel. But her chief occupation was to prevent the children crossing their legs when they sat down, or pulling their dresses lower, with a whispered, 'You must not cross your legs like that; it isn't ladylike, dear.' She had been very exasperating and interfering. Tempers had grown short. Twice running she had complained about the dreadful noise the pensionnaires made at seven o'clock in the morning. 'Nong pas creer comme ca!' she called, running down the passage in her dressing-gown and bursting angrily into their rooms without knocking--to find them empty. The girls had left the day before. But to-day (the morning after the Star Cave adventure) the old lady was calmer, almost soothed, and at supper she was composed and gentle. Sleep, for some reason, had marvellously refreshed her. Attacks that opened as usual about Cornish Cream or a Man with a long Beard, she repelled easily and quietly. 'I've told you that story before, my dear; I know I have.' It seemed her mind and memory were more orderly somehow. And the Widow Jequier explained how sweet and good-natured she had been all day--better than for years. 'When I took her drops upstairs at eleven o'clock I found her tidying her room; she was sorting her bills and papers. She read me a letter she had written to her nephew to come out and take her home--well written and quite coherent. I've not known her mind so clear for months. Her memory, too. She said she had slept so well. If only it would last, helas!' 'There are days like that,' she added presently, 'days when everything goes right and easily. One wakes up happy in the morning and sees only the bright side of things. Hope is active, and one has new courage somehow.' She spoke with feeling, her face was brighter, clearer, her mind less anxious. She had planned a visit to the Bank Manager about the mortgages. It had come as an inspiration. It might be fruitless, but she was hopeful, and so knew a little peace. 'I wonder why it is,' she added, 'and what brings these changes into the heart so suddenly.' 'Good sleep and sound digestion,' Mrs. Campden thought. She expressed her views deliberately like this in order to counteract any growth of fantasy in the children. 'But it is strange,' her husband said, remembering his new story; 'it may be much deeper than that. While the body sleeps the spirit may get into touch with helpful forces----' His French failed him. He wumbled painfully. 'Thought-forces possibly from braver minds,' put in Rogers. 'Who knows? Sleep and dreaming have never really been explained.' He recalled a theory of Minks. 'I dream a great deal,' Miss Waghorn observed, eager to take part. 'It's delightful, dreaming--if only one could remember!' She looked round the table with challenge in her eager old eyes. But no one took her up. It involved such endless repetition of well-known stories. The Postmaster might have said a word--he looked prepared--but, not understanding English, he went on with his salad instead. 'Life is a dream,' observed Monkey, while Jinny seemed uncertain whether she should laugh or take it seriously. The Widow Jequier overheard her. There was little she did not overhear. 'Coquine!' she said, then quoted with a sentimental sigh:-- |

"Everyone loves the invite. We are having a children's literature themed shower, and I was looking for an invitation that reflected the theme, but wasn't "demanding" our guests bring a book. This is perfect! On the back I posted the option to bring a book instead of a card, and also the honoree's address, which is out of state, in the event they were ordering online. I am really happy with quality and design of this card. To me it feels of imagination and wonder- like a good storybook! I wanted the shower to be about the baby, not mom and dad, which is also why I chose this card instead of an invite with male and female graphics."
"A perfect invitation for my daughter's baby shower! Easy to design, quick delivery, overall very pleased with this product and recommend "tiny prints"!"
"The invite is even cuter in person! Loved it! I did increase the font as much as I could (per another reviewer) and I am glad I did! It would have been very hard to read without the increased font sized. Very happy with the finished product!"
"Really appreciated your designer's prompt help on wording details. The guests were mostly couples, and the baby was guest of honor with the parents, so I needed expert guidance. The color scheme you offered matches baby's nursery colors exactly, which meant a lot to the new mother! Lots of compliments from the guests about the invitation as they responded. We put an extra invitation on display at the entry table. The party itself was a big success, no one wanted to leave!"
"This is a great invite card. I think the rounded corners give it an extra oomph along with the glittery design. Now, it doesn't have any actual glitter on but it still has a nice sheen to it - especially when ordering it with the pearl finish. I got plenty of compliments on the look of the invites. It really is just a fantastic looking card!"
