Optimization in GCC
The optimizations discussed thus far can yield significant improvements in software performance and object size, but specifying the target architecture also can yield meaningful benefits. The -march option of gcc allows the CPU type to be specified (Table 2).
Table 2. x86 Architectures
|Target CPU Types
|-march= Type
|i386 DX/SX/CX/EX/SL
|i486 DX/SX/DX2/SL/SX2/DX4
|Pentium MMX
|Pentium Pro
|Pentium II
|Pentium III
|Pentium 4
|Via C3
|Winchip 2
|Winchip C6-2
|AMD Athlon
|AMD Athlon 4
|AMD Athlon XP/MP
|AMD Duron
|AMD Tbird
The default architecture is i386. GCC runs on all other i386/x86 architectures, but it can result in degraded performance on more recent processors. If you're concerned about portability of an image, you should compile it with the default. If you're more interested in performance, pick the architecture that matches your own.
Let's now look at an example of how performance can be improved by focusing on the actual target. Let's build a simple test application that performs a bubble sort over 10,000 elements. The elements in the array have been reversed to force the worst-case scenario. The build and timing process is shown in Listing 1.
Listing 1. Effects of Architecture Specification on a Simple Application
[mtj@camus]$ gcc -o sort sort.c -O2 [mtj@camus]$ time ./sort real 0m1.036s user 0m1.030s sys 0m0.000s [mtj@camus]$ gcc -o sort sort.c -O2 -march=pentium2 [mtj@camus]$ time ./sort real 0m0.799s user 0m0.790s sys 0m0.010s [mtj@camus]$
By specifying the architecture, in this case a 633MHz Celeron, the compiler can generate instructions for the particular target as well as enable other optimizations available only to that target. As shown in Listing 1, by specifying the architecture we see a time benefit of 237ms (23% improvement).
Although Listing 1 shows an improvement in speed, the drawback is that the image is slightly larger. Using the size command (Listing 2), we can identify the sizes of the various sections of the image.
Listing 2. Size Change of the Application from Listing 1
[mtj@camus]$ gcc -o sort sort.c -O2 [mtj@camus]$ size sort text data bss dec hex filename 842 252 4 1098 44a sort [mtj@camus]$ gcc -o sort sort.c -O2 -march=pentium2 [mtj@camus]$ size sort text data bss dec hex filename 870 252 4 1126 466 sort [mtj@camus]$
From Listing 2, we can see that the instruction size (text section) of the image increased by 28 bytes. But in this example, it's a small price to pay for the speed benefit.
Some specialized optimizations require explicit definition by the developer. These optimizations are specific to the i386 and x86 architectures. A math unit, for one, can be specified, although in many cases it is automatically defined based on the specification of a target architecture. Possible units for the -mfpmath= option are shown in Table 3.
Table 3. Math Unit Optimizations
|Standard 387 Floating Point Coprocessor
|Streaming SIMD Extensions (Pentium III, Athlon 4/XP/MP)
|Streaming SIMD Extensions II (Pentium 4)
The default choice is -mfpmath=387. An experimental option is to specify both sse and 387 (-mfpmath=sse,387), which attempts to use both units.
hi, follow the "Listing 3.
hi, follow the "Listing 3. Simple Example of gprof" but when using -O or -O2, the profile is "Flat profile".So how to resoult it?
my step is:
1: gcc -o test_optimization test_optimization.c -pg -march=i386
2: ./test_optimization
3: gprof --no-graph -b ./test_optimization gmon.out
4: the result is:
Flat profile:
Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds.
no time accumulated
% cumulative self self total
time seconds seconds calls Ts/call Ts/call name
0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 factorial
if add -O2, the result is:
Flat profile:
Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds.
no time accumulated
% cumulative self self total
time seconds seconds calls Ts/call Ts/call name
single optimization flag without level
Any optimization can be enabled outside of any level simply by specifying its name with the -f prefix, as:
gcc -fdefer-pop -o test test.c
In current versions of GCC it is incorrect ( http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FAQ#optimization-options ). Single optimization flag without optimization level doesn't work. I don't know what about old versions.
gcc 4.2.3 vs visual c 2005
I just compiled a code under gcc cygwin and visual c 2005 in a lpatop with dula core intel processor.
The debuggable gcc code was about 2x times than faster than visual c++ debuggable code
however the situation reversed when i used O3 optimization in gcc and "release" optimization in visual c.
now the visual c code is 2x faster than gcc.
i did not expect that large a difference; it is HUGE!!
am i missin gsomehting or anybody else has noticed similar thing?
visual c++ optimizations
apparentely, MSVC uses a few insecure optimizations counting that the developer created a secure code. Probably thats why its debug build is slower.
I've seen lots of situations where gcc code gives a error right away, and promptly showing me and bug and MSVC happily executing a code until it finally stumble upon a non-static field of a class and finally giving a error. For me , this is simple misleading and thats why I prefer gcc
Detailed article, that is great!
You wrote very detailedly!
It is really useful for me right now since I am doing my thesis work on optimization under Linux. Thank your so much!
Someone should write some
Someone should write some "C" code and a few scripts that will enable / disable every compiler option and then print out which options worked best for _your_ particular system.
A benchmark that would specifically test each option (as opposed to using a single benchmark, and huge) could be written.
EG: no point in benchmarking if we should use:
gcc -O2 -O3 code.c -- One disables the other
gcc -fno-gcse SSE2_code.c
Benchmarks need to have a 'large' effect on the option that is being switched.
This could be ran overnight (or on multiple machines, each doing part of the testing) and results provided on a web page somewhere.
Experts could put in thier two cents and a wiki of snipperts could
be fed into a code compilator (not compiler, just a bunch of scripts) that would compilate all the snippets and produce a final program to be compiled on many different machines.
This way we could figure out that if we had such-and-such a system then "how-often" (what % of the time) would we simply be better off
to use a particular option and when is it more likely based on that TYPE of program we are running (wordprocessor vs. MultiMedia app).
EG: If you have a Pentium is is ALWAYS (or should be if gcc is correct) best to use the -march=pentium option - BUT - it is NOT always best to use "-fcrossjumping" (though it _could_ be for certain applications).
The output of all this could simply be a half dozen command line choices for each processor - including a "general purpose 'best'" setting and a "quick compile with great optimization" setting (for intermediate builds).
This is something that a few dozen people need to work on to get the ball rolling and then the rest of us need to pitch in and compile the resulting test scripts to check for errors. With everyone's help we should have the so-called answer(S) to "which compilation options should I use for machine-X when compiling applcation=category Y.
Just a thought ...

As a white woman with a lot of curves, I have received a lot of attention while growing up. The attention started with honks from truck drivers when I was 13, and has continued through my high school, college, and post grad life.
The most off-putting and infuriating experience was at Towson Town Mall in Towson, Maryland during my first year of college. I had an errand to run, so instead of going with a group of friends like I usually would I went by myself. While taking an escalator down to my next stop, a man at the top of the stairs started shouting. "Damn, white girl! Look at that ass!" I presume that he was referring to me, but I was not about to turn around to check. When I didn't not respond, he shouted again- "Girl, I'm tryin' to holla at you! Turn around" By this time I was getting off the escalator and started walking a bit faster towards my next stop and he shouts again- "Bitch, I'm talking to you. Turn the fuck around."
I'm feeling threatened by the point in the "conversation" and steer my path in front of two security guards, hoping they would interfere and ask the man to leave me alone.
Instead, as I walk by the officers, still being followed by the shouting man, the two security guards say "Oh damn, girl. How you doin??"
I quickly turned into the closest store, and hid behind stands to get out of their line of sight. I still think about that moment, 5 years later.
How could it be that NO ONE interfered? Not one bystander said anything. Not one security guard said anything. I didn't say anything. This is NOT something that I should feel ashamed of.
What I find most frustrating about situations like these is that when I debriefed and told a group of college friends, at least one reaction is:
Well, Tina. You have to learn not to go to the mall by yourself anymore.
You do have a really large ass, so I can see why he would say something.
Harassment has to stop.

Girl. I just found out the other day that my wife is having a little girl. She is due March 14. We are working on names now. :)
I can't wait. It will be my first child.
Jpup, congratulations.
We are about to have our first as well, a boy.
It's pretty exciting, isn't it?
Awesome news guys. My son is 10 months old now and I honestly can't tell you what happened to the last year and a half. It's a crazy whirlwind.
Enjoy those moments - my son's birth still feels like it happened yesterday.
My son just turned 2 years old. It's like we're shifting gears -- now, instead of constant care, he requires constant play. It's a lot more fun now.
Emily is a great name. At least my 10 year old daughter Emily thinks so.
Congrats........greatest days of my life were when my kids were born.
My first two kids are girls, followed by my son. They're 20 thru 25 now and let me tell you, it's unbelievable awesome. And in the midst of them growing up, in the day to day of it, you'll look back and think, "What happened?". It just flies by. Of course, a few years ago, we pulled up to my wife's old parish with her mom, then about 83, and she said to our kids, "that's where my second grade room was," and then added, "how on earth did I get to be 83 years old?!?". And my 101 year old neighbor was recalling getting caught in a tornado at her uncles house in 1917, when she was ten (this after the huge windstorm).
The best advice I can give is to try and keep a level head. There will be some bumps along the way, but just remind yourself that virtually everyone goes through this at some point in their lives. Our parents weren't geniuses, but they figured things out.
My I suggest a name?

Tahir and Paula, aged 45 and 44, have three children, aged 9, 13 and 15. Their financial picture includes:
- a combined household income of $132,000
- total savings of $350,000 in their company pension plans
- a $165,000 mortgage.
The couple also recently inherited $150,000 after the death of Paula's mother. On the advice of their lawyer, they met with a financial planner to discuss ways to invest this money and build more wealth.
Their top three goals were to:
- Pay off their mortgage.
- Pay for their children's education after high school.
- Retire by age 60.
How could they best use their savings and inheritance to build more wealth and achieve their goals? For instance, would it be better to pay off their mortgage? Or should they save and invest the money for their retirement? The financial planner reviewed the couple's total financial picture. She put together a plan that linked up all areas of their finances so that they could see how one area impacted on another. For instance, they could see how paying down the mortgage changed the savings they would have at retirement. The plan included 'what if' scenarios to change the picture if they didn't like what they saw.
Tahir and Paula's plan: The financial planner showed them that with today's low mortgage rates, they would do better to save and invest their inheritance. The couple settled on a financial plan which enabled them to:
- Invest their inheritance to avoid unnecessary investment risk while creating sufficient income to fund their early retirement.
- Cut their spending so they could save some money each month in a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP). This would help them build savings faster for retirement. And, they would lower the income tax they pay each year.
- Contribute their tax savings to a Registered Education Savings Plans (RESP) for the children's education costs. These plans would allow them to earn government grants to top up their savings.
With this plan, Tahir and Paula would be financially independent at age 60, instead of waiting to retire at age 65.

phosphorus deficiency
hello people,
i have a hydrobox, deepwater cultivating with drip emitters,airstones. i started my tomatos and they were fine
in the little grodan cubes, then the bigger ones, always giving them a week organic nutient, then put in tub and started giving them a little stronger nutient solution, with my organics the grow formula is 6-4-3, the bloom formula is 2-6-6. it says on the label mix both of them together for hydroponics(ppm 1200) my solution possibly alittle weaker. for 3gallons ppm 655, ph 6. 80degrees, 55% humidity. anyways my plants are two inches tall, the leaves are turning dark purple on bottom one of them actually wilted over, some are growing new leaves but bottom one are still dark purple, i know i have a phosphorus deficency, what should i do, should i up the ppm, i have another organic nutrient thats just phosphorus 0-2-0, can i mix two different company nutrients?
what should i do, i'm getting nervous....
I don't have the answers you need.
But you're likely to receive a helpful reply at the Hydroponics Forum
Here is a link that might be useful: Hydroponics Forum
for starters , bring your ph down to around 5.8 -6.0, and maintain that for 3 days very strictley, they will tell u if there is enough phos for them to do what they need to do. Also try to bring your ppm down to around 750 ppm at (5.8-6.0 ph ) without shocking them , and then dont raise it untill first flowers then raise it to around 1000 ppm , when they start to set raise it agin to 1250 and maintain very strickly untill u cull them.

BIP: 40mm Less-Lethal Ammunition
The SDI AdvantageSecurity Devices International (SDI) is a defense technology company specializing in the development, manufacturing & sale of innovative, next generation less-lethal ammunition. SDI's competitive advantage of the BIP over other 40mm less-lethal weapon technology is that it can be used over both short as well as long distances with a greater level of safety, accuracy, and reliability than competing products.
Most of the 40mm less lethal weapon technologies on the market today have a range of 20 meters to 50 meters. Over a close range, this ammunition can cause injury to the target, due to the force of the impact. Over a longer range, the ammunition's accuracy degrades and the projectile can tumble, risking injury to bystanders, possible injury to the upper body, and risk of injury if an un-cushioned portion of the projectile strikes the target.
The BIP has an effective operational range of 2 meters to 80 meters. The cushioning mechanism built into the BIP allows it to be used in close range situations, while the aerodynamic characteristics of the BIP allow it to be used with greater accuracy over longer distances.
Although some of SDI's competitors have various payloads, ranging from marking to OC (Oleoresin Capsicum) rounds, no other company in the less-lethal marketplace has a malodorant payload. Unique from any round in this space, SDI's malodorant payload round contains a highly noxious medium that delivers a terrible odor. Upon impact, the pungent liquid is dispersed in a concentrated area on or around the target. This scent can be used for identification purposes and acts as a deterrent to disperse crowds.Read More

Last month, I put together a list of six jaw-dropping examples of left-wing hypocrisy, one of which featured Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew.
He made the list for having the chutzpah to criticize corporate inversions on the basis of supposed economic patriotism, even though he invested lots of money via the Cayman Islands when he was a crony capitalist at Citigroup.
But it turns out that Lew's hypocrisy is just the tip of the iceberg.
It seems the entire Obama Administration was in favor of inversions just a couple of years ago. Check out these excerpts from a Bloomberg story.
President Barack Obama says U.S. corporations that adopt foreign addresses to avoid taxes are unpatriotic. His own administration helped one $20 billion American company do just that. As part of the bailout of the auto industry in 2009, Obama's Treasury Department authorized spending $1.7 billion of government funds to get a bankrupt Michigan parts-maker back on its feet — as a British company. While executives continue to run Delphi Automotive Plc (DLPH) from a Detroit suburb, the paper headquarters in England potentially reduces the company's U.S. tax bill by as much as $110 million a year. The Obama administration's role in aiding Delphi's escape from the U.S. tax system may complicate the president's new campaign against corporate expatriation.
But that's only part of the story.
…his administration continues to award more than $1 billion annually in government business to more than a dozen corporate expats.

One shot in Los Banos, police search for suspect
A 33-year-old man was shot Tuesday night in Los Banos.
The victim was taken to a regional hospital, the Los Banos Police Department said.
An update on his condition was not available.
Detectives withheld the victim's name Tuesday night to protect their investigation.
Officers responded around 7:15 p.m. to a convenience store in the 600 block of Pacheco Boulevard, Cmdr. Jason Hedden said.
People at the store said a man who was with the victim went into the store and asked employees where the nearest hospital was located.
"We believe he was shot at another location," Hedden said.
Investigators do not believe the incident was gang related, Hedden said.
Hedden said police believed they had identified a suspect late Tuesday, but had not made any arrests.
A description of the suspect was not available.
The victim and suspect know each other through third party. They got into some type of argument and the victim was shot at least one time in the upper body, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Justin Melden at the Los Banos Police Department at (209) 827-7070. Callers may remain anonymous.

Need Info on Planting in a Whiskey Barrel
I've read here that people have planted a rose in a half whiskey barrel. I have one on my deck that I'd love to plant a Our Lady of Guadeloupe in. I've only planted annuals in it and wondered how to prepare the barrel for a rose.
It may be different in your part of the country.
Out here, we used many whiskey barrels. In our experience, as soon as the plant had achieved some real maturity, the barrel rotted out.
I think, if I desperately wanted to do that, I would plant in a plastic "liner," inside the barrel. That way, when the wood rotted out, the plant, in its plastic liner, could be transferred to a new one.
Jeri in Coastal Southern CA
A plastic liner is a good idea.
The size of the barrel itself is a good size for that rose. Just make sure you use a good-quality potting soil and that drainage is adequate.
You may also have to winter-protect, because roots in a pot are much more vulnerable to freezing than roots in the ground, though you probably already know that.
I agree with using a liner. Try and find one of those black nursery pots that fits well inside the barrel. A lot of local nurseries have them for sale here and they're pretty inexpensive. I'm sure someone in your area has them too. That will also make it easier to move that rose for winter protect. It won't winter unprotected in a pot. So you can just lift the liner out and put it in the garage for the winter. The nursery pot will also have enough holes in it for good drainage. That's the most important thing for a potted rose. Without adequate drainage your rose roots will rot. (Rotted rose roots, say that three times fast, lol!) I put a coffee filter over the drainage holes to start. It eventually dissolves but in the mean time it holds in the lose soil until it has time to settle so it doesn't run out the holes. Then I put a layer of styrofoam packing peanuts (not the biodegradable new ones) about an inch deep. Then fill with good light potting soil. Never use garden soil, it's too dense to drain well. Then plant your rose and top dress with mulch to retain moisture if you want. I quit mulching mine because it got too pricey and last year I had volunteer petunias come up in a lot of my pots. It seemed to work just as well as the mulch and was so much prettier!
This a big barrel with an inside diameter of 24" and 22" high. It is 5 years old and is as sturdy as when I bought it. The bands are tight and the wood solid. I don't think I can find a liner for it. The only ones I've seen are for the imitation barrels.
The mums (that I thought were annuals) did fine in it over the winter, but I've heard that I could wrap it in bubble wrap around the side and mulch the top for protection. I also have a big Styrofoam rose cone I could put over it. I don't have a garage or any place to winter a rose.
My biggest concern is for the drainage. Any suggestions or sites you could point me at to tell me how to make sure it has enough drainage? I plan to empty it and then fill the bottom with something like maybe stone as I have a bag that I didn't use.
Thanks for the suggestions. I appreciate it. I'm going to a big nursery today and tomorrow for roses and will see if they have any liners.
out of necessity i have had to plant many of my roses in pots or whisky barrels and they do fine (mind you , i am in the PNW). the key is to use the lightest of soils; a sunshine 4 works fine. i have been told though ( by a reputable rosarian hybridizer), that after three years or so, the soil should be changed in the pots. i am tending to agree with him because some of my roses are in their fourth year in their pot and are not doing so well in this fourth year; will repot next spring and see what happens.
That's true, Joe. The time line varies some depending on where you live but you do eventually have to re-pot. In warmer climates that is between 2 and 4 years because they grow for a much longer season. In my zone 6 I have to do mine between 4 and 5 years because my season is short and they don't get root bound as quickly. When I change the soil I root prune too. A sure sign that your rose is root bound is if while you're pouring the water in the top of the pot it's running out the bottom just as fast!
Many carwashes buy soap in plastic barrels, you could call around. They can be cut in half with a jig saw, painted with a spray can paint and will out last most of us. Drill holes as needed. I have a brown one in my SUV right now awaiting modification.They come in 15, 17, 35, 55 gallon size (and more).
Here is a link that might be useful: used plastic barrels
The barrel has good drainage, I made sure of that when I first got it. I don't have access to a jig saw so cutting anything in half is out. I will have to see if I can get the rose I want, if not, I will put something else in there and wait for next year.
Thanks for the responses.
One more caveat: if you have gophers, be sure to use wire to cover the bottom, or plant in a gopher basket the same way you would in the ground. Gophers have no trouble at all getting up inside those barrels and munching away at whatever you have planted.
Has anyone had any problems with growing plants in whiskey barrel liners? The liners do not have drainage holes. I have impatiens and nasturtiums in miracle gro potting soil in these liners. The soil seems to stay too wet. Do these liners need drainage holes, or is the problem with the type of potting soil I'm using? The plants have not grown much in the two months I've had them planted. Our summer has been very warm and humid for WI.
Yesterday, my helpful husband drilled several holes in our plastic liner--while we propped them up on two chairs. Hopefully this will give the soggy roots the boost they need for this season. Will reconsider the system before planting next year. Thanks all.
Whiskey barrel liners can be found on this website. I got mine at a store that specialized in pond supplies

The World Tour Finals have shown clearly that the top players need more rest during the year. Murray's had to retire from the tournament, Nadal's out and Djokovic might be too.
I was at the Djokovic v. Berdych match on Monday night and Djokovic looked spent from the very start. The quality of his play paled in comparison to that during his Grand Slam wins this year. He only managed to win because Berdych choked every time he got within sight of victory.
As for Federer's win over Nadal, I personally think that was more about how badly Nadal played than how great Federer was. All the commentators said it was a 'pure masterclass' from Federer. But there's no way Nadal would have been dominated like that had it been a Grand Slam. Federer was made to look so good because Nadal was knackered, as he has since admitted.

I'm sure it has been discussed somewhere in this thread, but do you have a quick breakdown of current pension system works for new firefighters?
I'd dispute that we have the luxury of knowing we'll get in. I was fortunate to have scored well enough to have been up for the second class hired off 6019 and well... It's nearly 5 years later and I'm still waiting. I was assured then I'd be in. There are many that experienced that. Now, I've scored well again and I'm being assured just as before. However, until you're there, on the grounds of the Fire Academy and sworn in, nothing is for certain, regardless of what the city says about it's hiring plans.
No disagreement with your statements about training and preparing. As far as I'm concerned, I think it's a waste of time to worry about who's not is shape or any other number of things. The lull in hiring has given ample time for all of us to prepare and to be ready. At this point, taking care of 'business' on a daily basis is probably the best answer.
22yrs to retire w/ 50% pension
25yrs to get COLA
LOD Disability pension is 44% of final year salary
LODD Benefit is three years salary to your family
Its more detailed than that, but thats a broad/brief summary.
The last two are disturbing to say the least, and IMO needed to rectified right around six months ago. Benefits can be won or lost during contract negotiations. Hopefully we can reshape the current tier to more resemble Tier 2, but it will most likely take the duration of your career, if ever, to make that happen.
Also, what is happening in Detroit is down right scary. 'We promised you these pensions in return for your service, but now we're going to break our promises and cut that pension we promised.'
Question:I recall reading that the heart bill and lung bill were taken away as well. Is this true?
All unions concerned are working VERY hard to adjust the pension tier to reverse the atrocities that were committed when tier 6 was adopted. I doubt the additional years of service will be reduced back to 20, but everyone is optimistic about LODI and LODD benefits.
Alright, lets pretend we don't anything about city employee pay system: What does LODD mean???

On another note, does anyone have any idea up to what score will they send out the next group of investigation packets? I just missed the cut with me being in the 700's.
Still working hard and training, praying for the january class, but maybe the july class of 2014
hey test2000 turn on your PMs.
If you can't get from work, get a USB and save the files at home. Then when you open excel, find an empty column and use this formula code:=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(X1,$Y$1:$Y$N,0)),"",X1)
Those who are seriously tech-savvy, you should recognize that this is the syntax of a pseudo-conditional statement where: X and Y are the two columns you want to compare and N is the row number (not list number, those are two different things).
Then on the column with the formula; click on edit, find fill and select down. Those who have earlier versions of Office (I have 2010), the fill option should be in edit and if not I don't know where else it would be.

Crisp Apple Rose: This scent is a combination of Granny Smith apples and delicate rose blossoms. It is a delightful mélange of fruit and flowers, supported by a base of clean musks to help with longevity in soap. It has been fully tested in cold process soap, melt and pour, lotions and bath fizzies. This fragrance was a Fall 2012 S.O.A.P. panel pick.

January 2, 2014 The winter storm "Hercules" is steadily blanketing Philadelphia and the East Coast of North America with snow, so naturally I venture out to play with my Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera. The results are pretty good. Again I need a stabilizer or tripod and a more powerful computer to operate resolve more effectively, but I am happy with the results.
This piece would not be half of what it is if not for The Red Coat's amazing track. Thank you Adam! Check out more of his work here: iamtheredcoat.bandcamp.com/

"The book ultimately provides a helping hand to those who are dealing with Asperger's Syndrome, or those who may have relatives or loved ones with it. The book covers Stress, Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Anger management and empathy. A detailed description of each is included, as well as practical tips to help cope with the signs," said Leslie Burby.
Asperger's Syndrome is believed to affect over 27 million people worldwide currently. While it's understood that anxiety and depression are not directly related to Asperger's in any way shape or form, it is believed that 65% of all adults suffering with the condition will experience depression and anxiety at some point - as opposed to 15% of the general population.
The book's launch goes side-to-side with the Asperger's Test Site. Questions were raised about how to deal with the different emotions associated with the condition. The site was made by Mark Blakey in a response to educate the world on the condition. Blakey himself suffers from Asperger's Syndrome and knows the difficulty of dealing with it all.
Readers are still able to download the book completely free up until the 14th November. The book download can be currently found at: http://www.amazon.com/
More information about Asperger's Syndrome can be found through Blakey's website, found at: http://www.aspergerstestsite.com/

The movie, which sees Aniston and Wilson's characters come to appreciate their lives together and learn how to contextualise their problems thanks to the cheeky destruction wrought by the eponymous Marley, is one of three films starring dogs in the UK top ten.
It success pushed superhero epic Watchmen into second place.
Clint Eastwood-starring Gran Torino remained at third place, with multiple Oscar-winner Slumdog Millionaire and new release The Young Victoria completinig the top five.

1991 Toyota Pickup Extended Cab SR5 2dr Extended Cab 4WD SB
I bought this truck used in '95. It
had 72,000 miles on it. Like the other
reviews; Toyota replaced the head
gasket due to a recall - no cost to
me. I've gone through one clutch and
it's ready for another one. Other than
that no real problems. It has never
let me down or on the side of the
road! The 4 wheel drive is perfect -
geared low enough to creep through the
deepest mud holes. Give it a wash and
wax after a weekend in the mud and it
looks brand new again.

1991 Toyota Pickup Extended Cab Deluxe 2dr Extended Cab 4WD SB
I purchased my truck used at 70K miles
and it now has 150K. Still running
strong. Like another reviewer, Toyota
repalced a recalled gasket about 110K
and with it replaced the engine block
because of damage. I got a heck a deal
there. Other than normal wear and tear
(brakes, wipers, etc) this truck is
great. I expect another 50K easy,
hopefully 100K out of it.
In fact up to about a year or two ago
(2000), people would still ask me if I
just bought the truck new when I washed

i have 300,000 miles on my white 2 door
V6, it is just now starting to give me
some prob.'s with starting, so far i
have olny had to buy a 200$ part from
the junk yard that i installed, other
then that i have not had any thing
wrong with the truck for 11 years, and
300,000 miles. great truck, and lasts
over twice as long as any ford i've
ever had
Read the full review
Bought brand new 5/01. Is manual 5
speed. In late 90's, Toyota recalled
several years truck models due to bad
gaskets - replaced gaskets for free at
~130k. Had additional preventive
maintenance done at that time (saving
labor cost) including timing belt, fuel
pump, idle pulley, and valves shimmed.
Spent ~$550. Had R rear axle bearing
replaced last year. Never garaged.
Winters in Midwest. Does need
compressor work but still pumping cold
air despite 2 year old leak and no
repair yet. Otherwise just
maintenance - oil, brakes, shocks,
tires, belts, etc. Still waiting for
it to die to justify a new one.

This is the estimated average annual insurance premium being charged in your state. The premium has been determined based on annual premium data for defined coverages (liability, comprehensive and collision) from a major insurer.
While this information is specific to vehicle make, model, model year and body type, your personal information is not taken into consideration and could greatly alter the actual premium quoted by an insurer. Factors that will affect your rate include your age, marital status, credit history, driving record, and the garaging address of your vehicle.

NBA Offseason Buzz: Charlotte Bobcats
Questions abound everywhere in Charlotte, from the front office to shooting guard
Last season didn't resurrect Larry Brown's reputation as a coach, but maybe it should have. After all, he had the Bobcats within striking distance of the playoffs with a roster devoid of a single certified All-Star or a specific strength. Now the team is suffering through tragedy and a pair of distractions. Co-owner Skipper Beck died in a plane crash. Meanwhile, the Bobcats are up for sale and team president Michael Jordan is hinting at playing again. That's a tough way to start the season.
To see which player is taking off, which is crashing to earth and which name you'll need to know for the 2009-10 season, you must be an ESPN Insider.

After resume accepted, phone interview, then 6 hour day of interviews and maybe give a presentation. Presentation can get you the job or you can lose it because of poor performance. Presentation skills are closely analyzed, second order is topic. Then it's how you mix with the employes, your resume they were already impressed by.Interview Questions

I applied online. The process took 2+ months – interviewed at Independent Project Analysis.Interview Details
I got a phone interview from one of their senior management team members. Then, someone from HR called me a few days later. Despite me trying to call her back 3 times, she would not answer her phone or return my voice mail. Then, two months later, they sent me a form-letter rejection. The delay was so long that I (a) assumed that I was not going to get this job, (b) thought their HR process was a mess, and (c) wasn't interested in this job anyway (or I would have followed up again).
Also, moving my entire life to Virginia to consult with oil and gas companies in Texas at a salary of less than what I made 8 full years ago (when I was not traveling or working more than 40 hours a week) was really not my life goal at this time. The salary range was around 75k. Really...for a PhD to consult with oil and gas companies? 75k is the going rate now? My friends are making about 2-4x that in non-traveling 40 hour a week jobs. This was non-negotiable.
Their cut & paste rejection letter is just unprofessional to send 2 long months after my initial interview, but it seems to follow the rest of the pattern with my haphazard interview process. As someone who was unemployed for as long as I was, I just could not believe how rude and unprofessional so many companies are toward their applicants. However, they were not the worst. Another company made me wait 4 months! Well, IPA "Good luck with your future endeavors!"Interview Questions
