Obamacare website: Complaints pour in
"Nobody can get in there," said Richard Allen, a licensed insurance broker with Allen and Associates of Manchester.
Residents buy coverage through the New Hampshire Health Insurance Marketplace, which is operated by the federal government. Citizens can review and enroll in plans online at www.healthcare.gov or by calling 1-800-318-2596.
Keith Nyhan, director of consumer services at the state Department of Insurance, said his office has received numerous complaints from people "having a very difficult time accessing the exchange" since Oct. 1.
Jennifer Patterson, legal counsel for the state insurance department, confirmed the office received many complaints, but said she also heard accounts of people who were able to register.
"We have no control over what's happening," Patterson said, noting the state Legislature last year passed a law barring the state from building and operating its own exchange.
"Our biggest message for them is they have plenty of time. They don't need to enroll right now. If they enroll in coverage by Dec. 15, they will be covered by Jan. 1," Patterson said.
"Our top issue when it comes to the glitches has been the extraordinary number of people coming to check out plans and find out more about Obamacare. The number has obviously exceeded expectations," White House spokesman Jay Carney said at a news briefing Monday.
IT experts told Reuters last week they believed flaws in the system's architecture, not traffic alone, contributed to the problems of the first week.
Carney said a particular component of the system within the account registration function was not able to handle the high volume, causing problems for consumers at the registration process.

"After looking quite some time for the right anniversary invite for our 50th...as soon as I saw this card I knew this was perfect. My husband & I are very happy with this invitation to help us celebrate our 50th anniversary."
"Used this for parents 60th anniversary. It was so simple, elegant, and classy. All recipients raved about it. I called for assistance on delivery options and receive great old school customer service. And a handwritten thank you note from him a few days later! That is impressive. My photo was old and it warned me it wouldn't look good. I figured out how to increase the pixels using Paint and uploaded again and it worked. The invitation looks fabulous. Choose the pearl finish and get a big bang for a low cost. I also had them addressed. I decided to pay for rush delivery so I could mail myself. Received on time, went to main post office that evening and my guests had them within 2 days. I love tinyprints. they are miles above the others."
"These were the perfect invitations for our 8th year wedding renewal ceremony! The postcard made it easy to address, stamp and mail the invites! Thanks for making our ceremony amazing with the loveliest picture, invitation and postcard!"

"Picked this card. Simple but nice. Good quality. Easy to add photo. Received it quicker then expected. Very happy with results."

A 26-year-old man who was ejected from the Miami Dolphins-Buffalo Bills game Thursday night was found dead Friday morning.
Authorities said the man's brother told them the man was kicked out of Ralph Wilson Stadium, apparently because of intoxication, and his brother could not find him after the game, according to a report in The Buffalo News.
The man, who has not been publicly identified, was found in a creek behind the stadium and Orchard Park. Police said they were able to get a ping off the man's cellphone to find him, according to a report by WGRZ-TV, which posted video of the search.
Orchard Park police said the investigation is continuing and it would have more information later Friday.

Red-hot Braves visit rival Nats for three-game set
NL East foes square off in early showdown in Washington
The Braves renew their National League East rivalry with the Nationals on Friday in the opener of a three-game series at Nationals Park.
The Nationals dominated the season series early on in 2012, but the Braves rebounded toward the end of the year. Atlanta won six of the final 10 meetings, including the last four.
The Braves are atop the division and have won six straight games after completing a three-game sweep of the Marlins on Wednesday in Miami.
"Winning always is good. It's a good feeling," said Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez. "It will be an exciting series. They are throwing three pretty good pitchers against us. So it will be a nice test for us offensively."
Atlanta bolstered its offense during the winter by acquiring B.J. Upton and Justin Upton, but pitching has been instrumental to the Braves' early success this season.
"We've got all this power and this balanced lineup, but it's going to be about the pitching at the end of the year," Gonzalez said. "Not only with our team, but with every team."
The Nationals are the perfect example. Washington won the NL East in 2012 behind a strong starting rotation, led by Stephen Strasburg and Gio Gonzalez.
The Braves will face both Strasburg and Gonzalez over the weekend, but begin the series against left-hander Ross Detwiler.
Detwiler looked good in his season debut and held the Reds to an unearned run over six innings on April 6 in a no-decision. The southpaw has pitched well against the Braves in his career. He's 2-1 with a 3.33 ERA in 11 appearances against Atlanta, including eight starts.
"We have some good pitching," said Nationals outfielder Jayson Werth. "That whole team strikes out a lot and we have strikeout pitchers. So we'll see how we match up."
The Nationals are also coming off a three-game sweep after beating the White Sox, 7-4, on Thursday. Washington is 6-0 at Nationals Park, the most home wins in the Major Leagues.
Julio Teheran gets the ball for the Braves for his first career start against the Nationals. Teheran showed promise during Spring Training with a 1.04 ERA in six starts, but struggled in his 2013 debut against the Cubs on April 6. The right-hander allowed five runs on eight hits, including two home runs, over five innings in a no-decision.
Braves: Laird to start over Gattis
• With Teheran taking the rubber, Gerald Laird will be behind the plate instead of rookie Evan Gattis. The Braves want the veteran catcher to work with the young Teheran.
In six games, Gattis is hitting .391 with three home runs and six RBIs. Laird, 33, is 4-for-10 with two doubles in three games, but he doesn't have the same raw power as Gattis, who belted a three-run homer in the fifth inning on Wednesday.
Gattis still might be in the lineup, though. Gonzalez said Wednesday that there was a slight chance Gattis would start at first base Friday.
• B.J. Upton was held out of the lineup Wednesday as Gonzalez gave the outfielder a chance to rest and clear his head in anticipation of Friday's matchup. Upton is off to a slow start this year with a .103 average and 12 strikeouts in eight games.
"I'm seeing the ball well," Upton said. "Pitch selection is a little off for me right now. I'll say inconsistent. But it's getting better. I feel good up there. That's all that matters. I'll start hitting the ball here pretty soon. I'd rather it be now than in August or September."
Nationals: Haren impressed by former teammate Upton
• Nationals right-hander Dan Haren won't face Justin Upton, his teammate for three years with Arizona from 2008-10, in this series, but the starter is still impressed by the outfielder's hot start.
Upton, acquired by the Braves in the offseason, leads the NL with six home runs and is hitting .353 (12-for-34). Haren said the two-time All-Star appears to be sending a message to his former team.
"Everyone agrees that the talent has always been there," Haren said. "He had times where he has put it all together, making an All-Star team. He has never put it together for that long. Right now, he is in one of those streaks where he is tough to get out. I think he is a little inspired, trying to show the Diamondbacks how good he can be and obviously play hard for his new team."
Worth noting
• Braves outfielder Jason Heyward is 5-for-14 (.357) in his career against Detwiler with one double and one RBI.
• The Nationals won the season series last year, 10-8.

a typo in the article:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackal...ernel%202.6.28Ubuntu 9.04 ships with the Linux 2.6.29 kernel,
You guys are overlooking the biggest reason Fedora performs worse in some of these tests (and frankly I am disappointed no one has mentioned it).
Fedora's performance is impacted by the fact that many of its binaries are compiled with options like FORTIFY_SOURCE and -fstack-protector as well as ASLR hardening. Further, exec-shield and Selinux are on by default. All of these protections will put a small hit on performance (SELinux alone can sometimes result in as much as 7% overhead on some benchmarks) Bottome line: when all of these protections are combined, the results in this benchmark seem about right. You can read about Fedora's security features here.
No other desktop Linux distro I am aware of offers the security that Fedora does out of the box. So, really, we're comparing apples to oranges here. Essentially, it's a trade off (just like many things are when choosing a distro), and in this case it happens to be performance vs. security. Personally, I am willing to give up some performance in some areas for the increased security.
(I already posted my reply once and it didn't show up, so if it does show up later, I apologize for the double post).
I had a long reply as to why this benchmark showed the results it did, but I will summarize:
Fedora has increased security that can only be achieved through some compiler options like FORTIFY_SOURCE, -fstack-protector, PIE, and exec-shield. Most of these options will result in a performance hit. And that doesn't even count SELinux, which in itself has shown overhead as high as 5-7% in some tests. It's obvious to me that (especially in the Apache tests) this is why Ubuntu performed so much better. Ubuntu is not protected like Fedora is! (AppArmor on Ubuntu only protects CUPS by default and has no impact on overall system performance).
Read about Fedora's security features here.
Usally all apps are compiled from source if they are not binary only. That usally does not affect it, but you might have installed more build-deps on one system that would enable additionally features and compile longer for example.
Just reporting benchmark results isn't all that useful, please try to figure out the reasons for the discrepancies in performance. For CPU bound programs the differences in performance between Fedora and Ubuntu should be in the noise, when you find large differences it's worth digging deeper to find out the reason. Are the CPU Speed Governors set the same? Is it SeLinux? are there background processes that are running on one and not the other. Is it compiler switches? Is it the kernel rev? It's easy to enable/disable/change SeLinux, daemons, speed governor modes, firewall and even file systems. It's also easy to compile a standard kernel using identical switches for both distros, that would allow you to isolate the effects of the kernels.
Or just run the benches with the CPU governor set to powersave, and lock it at the lowest speed. This will reduce the influence of peripheral device speed, and focus on CPU/software efficiency.
I sometimes have to do that when testing/debugging multithreaded code, because problems that don't occur on a fast multicore test can sometimes be revealed on a slower system...

Landa Rodgers, NISD's Programming and Development coordinator, wondered why her supervisor was so worried about her having jury duty the day before, but soon realized why when her name was called as Northside ISD's 2013 Innovator of the Year during a surprise announcement at the opening session of the District's annual Administrator Institute on July 31.
Northside ISD is accepting applications for food service workers and manager trainees in the Child Nutrition Department. More than 100 positions are available.

White Physical Education Program grant.
You've probably seen the Energy Star label on household appliances like washing machines and dishwashers, but it can also apply to schools. Martin Elementary School and Warren High School are the first schools in Northside, and the first schools in a San Antonio-area school district, to earn the Energy Star label.
The Northside ISD Police Department is hiring police officers for both campus and patrol divisions. Benefits include a competitive starting salary, medical, dental and vision insurance, retirement contribution to TRS, paid training, and opportunities for advancement within the department.

Northside ISD Trustees approved an increase of $1,585 for all teachers, nurses, librarians and speech pathologists (around 7,000 employees) as well as a 3.9 percent average pay raise for all other employees effective the new school year.
Northside ISD will add 777 new positions for the 2013-2014 school year after Trustees approved both a Growth and Improvement budget and a Restoration Funds budget that will restore some of the education funding cuts made by the state two years ago. Additionally, the restored funds will allow for a reduction in class sizes.
Last night, Trustees discussed and took action on several items: appointment of several campus administrators and the Director of Bilingual and ESL Education; approved 'Restoration Funds' that will alleviate crowded classrooms- a return to the 22 students per teacher (22 to 1) standard ratio for kinder through fourth grade classes and the addition of two to ten new teachers at all secondary schools; and recognized two Behlau ES staff members for their quick response to a campus fire.
Northside ISD will open three new schools when classes resume on Aug. 26.

L-arginine supplements may be the second most popular fitness and energy supplements (next to protein) found in the gym bags of body builders, weight lifters and everyday athletes, as it is used most often to promote healthy lean muscle development. How? Arginine is needed by your body to make nitric oxide, a substance that allows your blood vessels to dilate. This action allows your muscles to receive the oxygen and energy needed to perform and to grow. Arginine also helps your body remove excess ammonia, support healthy immune function and promotes the secretion of several hormones, including glucagon, insulin and growth hormone.

Demo reelHi everyone!
I have decided to make a demo reel that will be completed on August 8th. So I'm going to post some of my animations that I will include in this thread, if you could, please leave some feedback/comments/critique so I can make the reel sparkle! Thanks
Re: Demo reelThat's good! Give the video more time to run the cycle.
Re: Demo reel@Charles OK! Next time I make I walk, I'll let it run longer.
Ball Bounces....
Re: Demo reelLet your cycled animation run for a few seconds. You're not giving it enough time. Get it to around 10 to 15 seconds.
These are all very good exercises for getting your basics down. Some of what you're doing with the bouncing ball may be overworked such as the squash and stretch, such as the stretch while it's falling to the ground. Overall you're doing a good job.
Re: Demo reelthanks charles, im going to go back and make the squash and stretches more subtle soon.
heres the repeated run and a walk cycle
Re: Demo reeljust a WIP. The shoulders are a bit off. What do you think?
Re: Demo reelIt looks like you're animating straight from Preston Blair's book. Why not animate your character Iron Duck? Apply the Blair principles to your character and let's see what happens.
Re: Demo reelUPDATE: I'm still working on my demo reel. Here's a storyboard type thing of an animation I might put in:
http://i1261.photobucket.com/albums/ii5 ... ssions.jpg Its called a "Thoughtful Animation" because someone suggested that I add a character animation where the character thinks, not just acts. @Charles Making an IronDuck walk would be so cool but I'm still not comfortable drawing IronDuck to look the same in each frame. I need to keep drawing him to get out of my comfort zone and I'm working on that.
Re: Demo reelan updated "thoughtful animation"
and a baseball pitch animation
Re: Demo reelYou're showing a knack for CG animation. Looking good. Keep it up.
Re: Demo reelthanks charles, I will!
Heres a surfing animation! Took a while but I'm some what satisfied for now, need to add those arms still
Re: Demo reelHere is a head turn. what do you think?
And a frolic cycle. should i keep this in the reel?
Re: Demo reelGood head turn. Frolic is reading okay but could be more frolicy. Keep practicing and experimenting and you'll get it.

Wind instruments > Flute solo
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach
Flute Sonata a minor Wq 132
Editor: Marion Beyer
Notes on performance practice: Karl Kaiser
13.95 $

Level of difficulty (Flute): difficult (Level 8)
For whom did Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach write his solo sonata? The addressee of the sonata is frequently thought to be the King Friedrich II of Prussia. Yet Bach would not have made music that was exclusively intended for the king available for all. And the Sonata for flute solo was published twice in the 1760s. The riddle is not to be solved. Today the three-movement work is one of the solo pieces that all flautists have to have played once – it is truly regal music. The flautist Karl Kaiser has contributed informed comments on performance practice.

The levels of difficulty of the flute music published by G. Henle Publishers
"The task is easy - yet easy is difficult"
("Zwar ist es leicht, doch ist das Leichte schwer")
Goethe has Mephisto say this in "Faust II" and the categorizing of musical works according to their levels of difficulty is thus relative in the extreme! Relative – depending on the perspective of a teacher, a student or a performer; nevertheless using our Henle criteria we are trying to differentiate between works, grading them according to whether they are easy, medium or difficult. This classification system is intended as an orientation and a help for those trying to find a suitable work amongst all of the excellent Urtext editions. In order not to be daunted by pieces with the level of difficulty 9, perhaps we might somewhat subjectively claim that with practice Goethe's quotation may be reversed: "The task is difficult, yet difficult [may become] easy [too]!"

It doesn't take a lot of bacon to add amazing flavor to this Kale, Bacon, and Cheese Breakfast Casserole. |
Put the wilted kale in the bottom of a sprayed casserole dish and top with the crumbled bacon.
Kale, Bacon, and Cheese Breakfast Casserole
(Makes 4-6 servings, recipe created by Kalyn)
(Before you make this you may want to read Basic Instructions for South Beach Diet Friendly Breakfast Casseroles which has instructions for different sizes of pan and ingredient options for this type of breakfast casserole.)
1 large bunch kale (8 oz. sliced kale strips)
1 T olive oil
4 slices bacon, cooked very crisp, fat blotted off with paper towel, then crumbled
(I like to use precooked bacon and crisp it in the microwave for 3-4 minutes)
3/4 cup low fat grated cheese (I used a combination of Four Cheese Mexican blend and Pizza Cheese, both of which are low in fat)
10 eggs
salt to taste (I like Veg-Sal in this)
fresh ground black pepper to taste
1 tsp. Spike Seasoning (optional but good)
Trim off kale stems, then wash the kale and spin dry or dry with paper towels. (It doesn't have to be completely dry but shouldn't be dripping with water.) Stack up the kale leaves and cut in thin crosswise strips. (I used small kale leaves from my garden. If you're using a bunch of large kale leaves you might need to cut out the center rib.)
Heat the olive oil in a very large frying pan. When the oil is hot, add the kale all at once. Use a turner to turn the pile of kale until it's all wilted, about 1-2 minutes. (If you want the kale very soft in the finished dish, cook it a minute or two more. I like the kale to be slightly chewy.)
In the sprayed casserole dish, layer kale, crumbled bacon, and cheese. Break eggs into a bowl or large glass measuring cup, season with salt, pepper, and Spike Seasoning (if using), and beat eggs well with a fork. Pour the eggs over the kale-bacon-cheese mixture, then use the fork to stir gently until eggs are well-distributed in the mixture. (It will look like you need more eggs, but trust me!)
Bake 22-25 minutes or until the casserole is set and the top is lightly browned. (Don't worry if the center puffs up; it will settle down when the casserole cools.)
Serve hot, with a dollop of low-fat sour cream if desired. This will keep at least a week in the fridge and can be reheated in the microwave. Don't heat more than a minute or two, or the eggs will get rubbery.

From changing school start times to improving lunches, students have long held ideas for changes to improve their schools.
A forum at Roberto Clemente Middle School gave students a chance to not only say what they wanted changed but give the reasons behind their requests.
Destin McKinzy, 13, and De Angelo Thomas, 14, shared their ideas on school discipline at the Dec. 19 Education Forum attended by members of the Montgomery County School Board, educational administrators and Clemente faculty.
McKinzy and Thomas both suggested a student-run committee to make up school rules.
"Get some good students to make up the rules and have teachers approve [them]," De Angelo said.
The second annual Education Forum lasted most of the school day Dec. 19, with almost 200 eighth-graders offering ideas on any of 12 topics. Most students worked in teams of two to five members, researched their topic and created Power Point presentations. A few students chose to work alone, Krista McKim, the eighth-grade English teacher who started the forum last year, said in an email.
McKim wrote that she got the idea after reading about changing education paradigms and encouraging creativity in the classroom.
"They talked about how schools are killing creativity and how students need to learn to solve problems," she wrote. The idea of the Education Forum came from that."
School start time was by far the most popular topic presented, winning over the number two topic, bullying, two to one.
The students were in favor of more sleep in the morning, meaning a later start time for their school. They backed that idea up with statistics showing that teens need eight to nine hours of sleep per night.
More sleep leads to better grades, they said, because students are more alert and focused.
Amber Bratcher, 13, who spoke with three others about more healthy lunch choices, said she was nervous about speaking before the large group gathered in the school's media center but thought her team did well.
"This is fabulous," Principal Khadija Barkley said. "It makes their research authentic because there are people in decision-making positions that are listening to their point of view."
The students also thought the idea of airing their opinions was a good one.
"If people come and listen to us maybe they will change the rules," Destin said.

One of the world's greatest football clubs has become the latest Team Ambassador for Special Olympics.
Celtic FC Manager Neil Lennon (centre) flanked by two Special Olympics athletes John McGowan and Wesley Young
Celtic Park: Glasgow Celtic Football Club and Special Olympics are delighted to announce that Celtic FC has become Scotland's first Team Ambassador for the global Special Olympics Movement. The announcement was celebrated at Celtic Park during the 7 goal thriller match against Aberdeen on March 16th. Celtic legend Packie Bonner and athletes from Special Olympics Great Britain joined Neil Lennon and his players for a day of excitement at Cetic Park.
Celtic Manager Neil Lennon said. "The Club is delighted to cement this new relationship with Special Olympics, to become the first Team Ambassador in Scotland. It is a great privilege for the Club to be able to use our worldwide appeal to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to play football. Special Olympics is an extraordinary organisation and we are proud to support Special Olympics' athletes to reveal their true potential."
As Team Ambassador, Celtic FC will involve its supporters, coaches and partners to promote inclusion and acceptance for people with intellectual disabilities. As an official grassroots soccer provider Celtic FC players and coaches will host top level training clinics for Special Olympics athletes in Scotland and beyond.
Karen Wallin, Chief Executive of Special Olympics Great Britain, said: "We are thrilled to announce this relationship with one of the biggest football clubs in World football. Our partnership with Celtic FC will help to significantly raise the profile of the work of Special Olympics and our athletes. Celtic has a proud history in hosting Opening Ceremonies of both the 2005 Special Olympics National Games and the 1990 Special Olympics European Games. On both occasions the ground was packed to capacity and Glaswegians have fond memories of one the best events ever staged in the city."
Packie Bonner (right) with Special Olympics athlete Darren McCluskey (centre) and Celtic FC goalkeeper Fraser Forster
Packie Bonner, Celtic legend and long standing friend of Special Olympics says, "For me today is a very special occasion and I was there in 1990. Celtic and Special Olympics are both very close to my heart so to see Celtic take on a bigger role globally with Special Olympics is fantastic. There are millions of people with intellectual disabilities around the world and they are often a forgotten group. We all saw how attitudes changed towards athletes with disabilities last summer in London. This partnership will create opportunities for Special Olympics athletes and transform the way communities and groups think and act with regard to intellectual disabilities."
Special Olympics Scotland West is one of the largest groups in the country supporting many of the clubs within Glasgow and the region. At the 2011 World Games in Athens, Scotland made up 48% of team Great Britain and this year more than 700 Scots will compete at the National Games in Bath in August. The fundraising and training has already begun.
"Special Olympics Global Football initiative aims to create a network of Ambassador Teams which brings the football community together to promote inclusion and raise public awareness of the Special Olympics year-round programme ," concluded Trevor O'Rourke, Special Olympics Global Football Director.
Existing Team Ambassadors for Special Olympics include Tottenham Hotspur, Inter Milan, Corinthians in Brazil and Seattle Sounders FC from Major League Soccer (MLS).
Special Olympics athletes form a guard of honour on the pitch at Celtic Park in front of a packed stadium ahead of the thrilling match against Aberdeen which finished 4:3 to the home side.
Special Olympics is an international organisation that changes lives through the power of sport by empowering people with intellectual disabilities, promoting acceptance for all, and fostering communities of understanding and respect worldwide. Founded in 1968 by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the Special Olympics movement has grown from a few hundred athletes to 4 million athletes in 170 countries worldwide, providing year-round sports training, athletic competition and related programmes. Special Olympics takes place daily, changing the lives of people with intellectual disabilities all over the world. Special Olympics provides people with intellectual disabilities the opportunity to realize their potential, develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, and experience joy and friendship.

Special Olympics Great Britain athletes line out pitchside at Celtic Park March 16th to a rapturous applause from the fans for Celtic vs Aberdeen
Special Olympics Great Britain has brought grassroots sports training and competition to the lives of children and adults with intellectual disabilities offering life-changing ways to improve their quality of life, travel, make friends and compete. Over 2,800 volunteers help to transform the lives of our athletes, bringing the thrill of competing in 26 sports to 8000 athletes in 150 clubs across England, Scotland and Wales. Proud parents watch as their children compete and win medals or ribbons at local, regional and national competitions with many continuing on to represent the country at Special Olympics international and World Games. In Great Britain there are an estimated 1.2 million people with intellectual disabilities and an additional 200 babies will be born this week. They will face discrimination all their life. Taking part in regular sports activities gives people with intellectual disabilities the chance to get fit and gives them a sense of belonging and inclusion.

The FSF did a look at the number of packages in Debian that were licensed under the GPL.
It is growing.
A number of companies that have their roots at Microsoft, like Black Duck Software, have been spewing fud about the GPL, suggesting it is shrinking.
A look at Debian (which has more or less the same mix of software as any distribution), we see that some form of the GPL (Including the LGPL and the AGPL) accounted for 77% of total packages in Sarge (May 2005) and that number has been going up ever since. In Squeeze (February 2011), 93% of all software in Debian is under some form of the GPL.
Makes you wonder how Black Duck is figuring their numbers. (But I'd lean towards the idea that they make up whatever sounds the most anti-free software.)
Apple's so-called push to rid Mac OS and the FreeBSD push (Apple more or less runs FreeBSD) is overstated. FreeBSD can never come close to eliminating the GPL licensed software and remain a viable system. Apple only shipped a handful of packages under the GPL in OS X.
Apple's primary hate for the GPL 3 is that they can't distribute code under it then sue people for using that code. That's causing the quality of OS X to deteriorate as to avoid the GPL 3, they're now 4 (almost 5) major released behind GCC and still shipping a release of bash from 2007. (Among other examples.)
Mac users get a less useful operating system full of components with missing features and bug fixes because Apple is afraid they may lose the chance to litigate against someone.
Edit: Before anyone suggest Apple should replace bash, or the GCC, they should look at what the alternatives are. LLVM is nowhere near as mature or optimized as GCC, it doesn't support as many languages and that's unlikely to change soon. There's other problems but those are the main ones.
As for replacement shells, yeah there's a lot of options, it's a shame that most of them are only good for interactive use -OR- scripting. Bash is the only shell I've used that is good for both. Apple would end up needing to ship several shells to replace bash. One for the user to interact with, one for scripts to run on, and then they'll either break older OS X software that includes scripts that expect to be ran on bash or continue shipping an old version of bash with bugs and missing features to make sure nothing breaks (but breaking users software every few years is what Apple does, so they might just yank it out). You could end up with two shells to replace bash AND still end up with an old copy of bash.

In other news, Ingo Swann, the CIA-trained remote viewer, claims using Windows blocks ESP. (seriously, google for it)
Is there no limit to their evil?
Why, it's this esp of course:
Oh my god, LOL!
But, I have an explanation of why Windows blocks ESP. When using Windows, you're getting annoyed. This results in agitation which affects your concentration. The less concentrated you are in your work, the less likely it is for psychic bullshitters to read your thoughts! There. Explained xD

Comments: This shoe is a good alternative if you formerly wore Barricades and hated the Barricade 7. I can see why
so many of the pros moved to the Tempaia IIs - good shoe, sturdy, supportive, no break-in. You may need to double up socks for
days when your foot feels narrower. I like the way this shoe fits a woman's foot. I wish Adidas would add more arch support.
Comments: I am a repeat customer with Adidas Adizero shoes. This pair was comfortable from day one. The only
problem I am experiencing is some of the white plastic is separating from the shoe leather on the top of the shoe. It's almost as if
the glue was not strong enough. These shoes are too expensive to be falling apart already. I've only had mine a couple of
months. I will reconsider buying Adidas for my next pair of tennis shoes.
Comments: My daughter's team got these and pretty much all of the girls don't like them. They have no
lateral support. My daughter turned her ankles 4 times the first time she wore them.
They are also big and boxy. They are not good for someone with a narrow foot.
Comments: I loved the previous model but this is one is still pretty good! It's a bit wider so it provides
more support when running! It's a better option from the new Barricades.
Comments: I love this shoe. It is so comfortable and provides really good support. The break-in period
was from slight to none. I'm waiting for new colors.

a slayer messenger bag and a slayer t shirt WOAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh
Come on SLAYER ! ! ! ! im gonna try my best to see you guys in nottingham baby \m/ LONG LIVE SLAYER ! ! ! !
I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...Slayer are one of the only heroic and legendary metal/thrash bands that are still around and they are not gonna be around forever. I know it is sad but it is true. I started listening to slayer about 5 years ago when i was 11. but then i only heard a couple of songs but i thought they were cool. but now i am older and wiser (at 16 XD) slayer are one of my most favourite bands and i think u shud become a fan because this band is the shit and is filled with attitude tht metal music coming to us today is missing.

Morton's Fork (1759) is in reference to John Morton (c.1420-1500), archbishop of Canterbury, who levied forced loans under Henry VII by arguing the obviously rich could afford to pay and the obviously poor clearly were living frugally and thus had savings and could pay, too.

Client Testimonials
"AoC is a life changing program for anyone! Before AoC I lacked confidence in myself. My business and personal relationships were floundering and I felt lost. I was super nervous going into it thinking I might not get what I was looking for. I can genuinely say I got my confidence and I m now a better version of myself. I have never felt so fantastic in my life and I have AoC to thank for it!"
"The AoC taught me about 98% of what I was hoping it would. I m now attracting more girls, I m more confident in any social environment and I have much better body language. I now really look forward to my nights out and crazy stuff seems to be happening all the time. The thing that exceeded my expectations on the course was how much fun I had. The coaches on the course were awesome and they made a process that I was fearful of, seem really fun and really simple. The 5 days flew by and before really realizing it, I had all these new skills. Skills that are going to be invaluable for the rest of my life. The guys are on the course with me were friggin'awesome too Cheers guys!"
"I cannot speak highly enough of Johnny, Justin, Alex, Alara, AJ, Jordan, and everyone else even remotely associated with the AoC. To say that they have been a monumental influence in my life over the past few months is a gross understatement. I consider the AoC my second home in all regards, have gone back several times, and will continue to. The concerns regarding so many other bootcamps simply fade away after realizing who exactly the people running the AoC really are. To this day I still couldn t believe it was THE Jordan Harbinger and AJ Harbinger I was talking to when I called to inquire about the camp- that right there speaks volumes about the dedication and true concern exhibited by these people. I would recommend the AoC to any human with a pulse."
"I've come to realise that the best investment you can make is not in a house a car or any other material thing, but in yourself. And that s what an AOC bootcamp is. It's an investment in your social skills, in self- reflection and the ability to open up, to name just a few. The good news is it s a heap of fun, you will meet cool people and the instructors genuinely care about seeing you succeed because after all they went through the same process. Sure you will be challenged and pushed out of your comfort zone but that s all part of the fun and adds to the feeling of exhilaration when you begin to achieve your goals!"
"When signing up for the AoC Bootcamp I expected results afterwards, but when the Bootcamp was actually over, I couldn t believe how many realisations and mind blowing moments I had about my progress, potential and confidence level. I had a blast with the coaches and the other guys who were in the same position as me that were also a great source of encouragement and helped push boundaries. AoC has given me a tool belt of skills that will help me in virtually all scenarios whether it be with women, friends, family or colleagues. The program has given me a new outlook on life and an experiance that will be with me forever, for that I m very grateful"
"When I made the decision to attend an AoC program, I didn t realize I was making a choice that would change my life forever. I am so much more confident in my ability to attract and connect with both men and women. The coaches were amazing! My favorite part about the program was the feedback, I grew by leaps and bounds each day because of the coach and peer feedback I received. I am not scared about going out anymore or even worried about messing up. The AoC team has created the perfect atmosphere for people to feel comfortable with failing: I now look forward to when I fail because of the huge learns that come from it. Take a program and see for yourself how you can bring out the real you. This is an experience you will never forget!"
"The Art of Charm changed my life–so much so that I (and friends I haven't seen in months) barely recognize me. I'm still the same person, to be sure, just with lots of new skills and without so many of the fears and insecurities that had been holding me back before I began listening to The Art of Charm Podcast ten months ago. I had high expectations going in to my boot camp and can honestly say that AOC exceeded them–so much so that I came back a few months later for a second boot camp and will be going to another one next month.
The people in my program ranged in age from 25 to 46, and all were dealing with different personal challenges, but by the end of the week, ALL of them had made tremendous strides.
As AOC will tell you, personal transformation is hard work–and continues after your program. That said, if you listen to the coaches, you will start seeing results instantly.
On my first field night–after taking to heart some of the tips on body language, banter, and mindset–I definitely had a few"wow, that never happened before"moments with the girls I was approaching (and for the first time, the ones who were approaching me). For the first time, I was actually enjoying myself in a bar environment. I remember thinking it must be a fluke, then going back on the second field night and getting even better results.
AoC boot camp is an investment, and will only be worth it if you re truly ready to make a life change. But take my word for it: After a week with the AOC crew, you WILL start attracting higher-quality women (and more of them). In fact, I m convinced that the average guy who goes through an AOC bootcamp will end up marrying somebody he's much more jazzed about than he would've otherwise. What would that be worth to you?"
"I was super hesitant about AoC because it seemed like a big investment. I had done a bootcamp with a major'Pick-up'company and while it was kind of helpful, it didn t really make any lasting change. However when it came to meeting women I wasn t getting anywhere on my own and needed to do something. The AoC bootcamp turned out to be a ton of fun and gave me just what I was looking for.
The guys in my program were awesome and the instructors were great at both pushing me well past my comfort zone and providing support and encouragement if I got overwhelmed. After AoC, I went on more dates (and brought more girls home) in the two months following my program than I had in the two years prior. It's a great feeling to know that on any given day I can walk up to any girl on the street, in a coffee shop, or wherever, and have a good shot at forming a connection."
"Before going through the AoC, my success with women and enjoyment on nights out were hit or miss. Like so many others, I found The Podcast and slowly started seeing changes in myself and the way others saw me. The Podcast is excellent, but nothing can compare to getting the experience, knowledge and coaching from the AoC team in person. My confidence in social settings is sky high and women have taken notice.
My body language and vocal tonality were things I had no idea I was doing wrong until I saw myself on camera. I was super anxious about taking the bootcamp, but the awesome team at the AoC made something I was fearful of into something that was a ton of fun and easy to understand. The skills I learned are invaluable, and they help me in all areas of my life. The Coaches are amazing and the alumni that I've met and/or talked to are awesome. Don't wait to sign up, just do it already :)"
