A candy-colored fever dream is the most unforgettable movie of the year so far.
Yes, I'm talking about "Spring Breakers," that movie where those former Disney stars spend every waking moment on the verge of bursting out of their bikinis and short-shorts as they gyrate their way through a week of drinking, snorting, sniffing, tonguing, robbing, laughing and sometimes crying in St. Petersburg, trying to create the all-time memorable experience before they have to return to their drab lives in Kentucky.
The always-polarizing Harmony Korine ("Kids," "Gummo," "Trash Humpers") films "Spring Breakers" as if seen through the hazy, hyped-up viewpoint of the 21-year-olds (and younger) who flock to Florida every April, leaving the pressures of campus life behind and reveling in hedonistic rituals involving heavy doses of public nudity, sexual humiliation, anonymous hookups and copious amounts of over-imbibing.
Korine's camera is nearly an intrusive weapon as he lingers over the soft, limber bodies of Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson and his wife, Rachel Korine, as four lifelong friends who spend at least as much time caressing one another as they do in search of male companionship. There are moments when you feel as if someone's going to tap you on the shoulder and say, "What are YOU looking at?" I think that's sort of the point. When a pre-med student on spring break loses her top, drinks to the point of passing out and grabs a willing lugnut by the ears for six hours of anonymous fun, is she setting the woman's movement back 40 years, or taking charge of her life like any man would do at that age?
At times, "Spring Breakers" feels as if the pervier cousin of Joe "Girls Gone Wild!" Francis filmed it. On other occasions, you feel as if you're experiencing raw, mad, avant-garde genius at work. When you're a filmmaker and you've got James Franco as a metal-grilled rapper-gangster singing a tender version of Britney Spears' "Everytime," accompanied on vocals by three nubile, mask-wearing nymphets on the verge of a crime spree, you've got something original swirling in your brain and you've effectively put it on the big screen.
Korine indulges in a number of stylistic flourishes, from the hand-held camerawork that sometimes looks like it was shot on an iPhone to the repetition of certain phrases in voiceover, to the self-conscious gimmick of transitioning nearly every scene with the sound of a gun going off, or a gun being cocked and loaded.
His choice of music is brilliant. His sense of humor is wicked. And the casting is so spot-on, it's sick.
With spring break just around the corner, Faith (Selena Gomez), Candy (Vanessa Hudgens), Brit (Ashley Benson) and Cotty (Rachel Korine) have managed to save a total of only $325, well short of the funds needed for a week's worth of hotel stays and beer-bonging. Desperation is the mother of felony, as the girls demonstrate when they rob the local chicken shack, smashing up the joint with hammers while pointing water guns at employees and customers.
Boom! St. Petersburg time.
For the first 40 minutes or so, "Spring Breakers" is thick with style and light on plot, as the girls tool around town on rented scooters, indulge in all manner of chemically altered behavior and spent quiet sunsets with their arms draped around one another, talking about how they'll never forget the awesome awesomeness of this moment.
But then they're arrested, cuffed, jailed and have to appear in court — never even having the opportunity to throw on a cover-up. Even when appearing before the judge, the girls are in their neon-colored bikinis.
That's when "Spring Breakers" takes a hardcore right turn. The girls are bailed out by "Alien" (real name Allen), a gangster rapper about 10 percent rapper and 90 percent gangster. Alien is a clown with a stupid car and idiotic twin henchmen, but apparently he's quite successful, judging by all the cash and weaponry in his pad. (In one of the great comedic monologues in recent memory, Alien keeps saying, "Look at my s---," as he shows off everything from weaponry to cologne.)
Franco is nothing short of great. You want Alien to have his own movie. How did Alien become Alien?
Of the four young women, Gomez's Faith has the closest thing to a back story: she's a devout Christian, devoted to her grandmother, but torn between prayer circles and the desire to party with the girls she's known since pre-school. The other three are mostly interchangeable, with Hudgens giving the most interesting performance as a girl from the wrong side of the tracks who seems to have lost her conscience along the way.
"Spring Breakers" challenges us to think about the hedonistic hell that of that annual ritual, as it segues from party film to insane crime story. It's self-indulgent, it's funny, it's dark, and it's always provocative.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

"If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are half way through." (Alcoholics Anonymous, page 83)
Ya know what?
After 10+ years of uninterrupted sobriety, I'm still amazed.
I thought "getting buzzed" was amazing. Boy did I ever sell myself short!
In my first round of sobriety, I was training to become a pastor in a mainstream religious organization. I won't beat around the bush. I had a number of "spiritual expereinces" which convinced me, beyond any doubt, there was such a thing as a "Savior". On my first sobriety date, March 7, 1988, I learned about Who was to become my Higher Power. He called me by name, and I answered and learned His Name. But it was more like that point in time where I learned about the name He gave me from the beginning, and that is my true name.
In politically incorrect spiritual terms, I had what some would call a "conversion" experienceâ€

Concrete Ideas
When it comes to innovative design ideas for the kitchen, bath and other areas of the home, concrete can be a solid material choice. Tying into the growing desire for design elements that can be customized to the client's specifications, this material offers many unique properties that give it an upscale appeal. Equally important, concrete is many times easier to use than most design professionals realize.
Concrete countertops share many of the characteristics of other countertop materials such as solid surface. For instance, they are versatile, durable and offer a wide range of colors, textures and finishes. Additionally, they allow for integrally molded sinks, drain boards, backsplashes and seamless installations.
However, using concrete as a design element opens up possibilities far beyond what many other countertop materials allow.
One of the main differentiators of concrete products is their customizability. A skilled concrete countertop maker is a craftsperson in the true sense of the word. He or she can create three-dimensional molds to fit any design the client or kitchen and bath professional can envision, allowing endless possibilities for not only flat slabs but also vertical and sculptural elements.
Concrete offers a broad range of design possibilities because it can be molded and manipulated while it is in a fluid, malleable state, and it can be cut, shaped, honed and polished when it is hard and solid. These qualities make designing with concrete both flexible and highly innovative.
However, misconceptions about concrete abound. Concrete countertops are sometimes viewed as esoteric and finicky, appropriate only for those who want really far-out industrial design.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Concrete countertops can be any style, from French Country to Industrial, Retro to Rustic.
Concrete countertops are often used to beautiful effect in traditional style homes, especially higher-end custom homes.
Typically, concrete countertops in these homes are chosen in warm earth tones reminiscent of natural stone. They provide an alternative to the hard, formal look of granite. And, because concrete can be molded into endless shapes, intricate edge details are possible that would be impractical or impossible in natural stone.
Concrete countertops can also be a terrific element for tying together a design. Concrete countertops can be color-matched to a paint, fabric or tile sample selected for a completely custom new home. Backsplash tiles can actually be embedded in the countertop to tie the theme together.
Concrete countertops can easily incorporate the embedding of different materials, shapes or colors. This adds to the material's custom capabilities, since it allows kitchen and bath design professionals to incorporate meaningful mementos that reflect the clients' interests or passions. For example, in one design, a couple's broken wedding china was embedded in the bar top to personalize the space.
Concrete can also be seamlessly cast into a variety of forms and shapes that would be difficult or cost-prohibitive in natural stone. Integral concrete sinks are popular options, but more complex and non-traditional forms are also possible.
Uniqueness and personalization are what clients most desire in concrete countertops. From a simple but meaningful embedment to a spectacular functional sculpture, if the designer or client can dream it, a concrete countertop craftsperson can make it.
Concrete Clientele
What type of client would find concrete countertops a good match for their kitchen, bath or other-room project? People who value high-quality, handmade objects are more likely to perceive the benefits of concrete countertops. Indeed, the "bobo" or bourgeois bohemian – affluent but creative people who value handmade items and natural materials – tends to find concrete an attractive option.
Interestingly, concrete aficionados are drawn to this material not only because of what it can be, but because of what it is not.
On the surface, concrete's uniqueness, customizability and wide design flexibility attract those who want looks that other materials cannot provide. Concrete's hand-crafted quality contrasts with mass-produced slabs, and harmonizes well with wood, glass, stone, tile and metal.
But many clients who choose concrete do so for reasons other than its appearance. Concrete appeals to people who want to add "green appeal" to their homes. Most concrete countertops are hand made, using at least some natural and recycled materials. Crushed bottles, automobile glass or even porcelain from unused tubs, sinks and toilets can be used to replace mined aggregate. Portland cement content can be reduced by using more environmentally friendly additives. Concrete countertops are locally made rather than strip mined and shipped overseas.
A growing movement of discontent with the commonplace is also drawing more people to concrete. As granite moves from a premium material to a more commonplace countertop choice, those who would have chosen granite for its natural beauty and uncommon nature are now looking for something new and different.
It's not uncommon to hear dissatisfaction with granite's shiny formality or sheer commodity. And, growing concerns with the environmental impact of quarrying and importing natural stone from across the world have environmentally conscious clients looking toward locally made materials such as concrete.
Market acceptance of concrete countertops is at different phases, depending on where you are in the country. In many areas of the country, granite is becoming passé as it becomes more commoditized and less expensive. Fabricators are offering granite at lower and lower prices, and introducing 2 cm thick granite at increasingly mainstream prices. Homeowners are starting to say, "Everybody has granite. I want something different." This is where concrete can provide an attractive alternative.
However, design professionals need to recognize that concrete should not be sold merely as a granite replacement. The craftspeople who make custom concrete countertops can offer tremendous design flexibility, and this is key to marketing concrete to consumers.
Of course concrete isn't for everyone. Clients who are extremely picky about every little imperfection may not be the best candidates for concrete, or for natural stone for that matter. An engineered stone countertop might be better for these clients. And, as with any truly custom, hand-made product, concrete's premium pricing discourages low- to mid-end clients looking for less expensive options.
Concrete, like other materials, has its advantages and disadvantages. No discussion would be complete without a fair discussion of both the positives and negatives. Popular press has often focused on the negatives, but there are many positives that can make concrete the right choice for certain clients.
Some of the key advantages of designing with concrete are as follows:
- Custom capabilties: Concrete's biggest advantage is that it is completely custom. Clients choosing concrete can have a countertop that is unique to them, and highly personalized.
- Versatility: Concrete is extremely versatile, allowing designers freedom from constraints of size and shape so they can focus on design.
- Practicality: Contrary to popular belief, concrete countertops do not need to be stain-prone and difficult to maintain. They do not have to "develop a patina." In the past few years, concrete sealer technology has progressed by leaps and bounds, and sealer manufacturers are recognizing that concrete countertops have unique and stringent performance requirements with regard to staining, heat and scratching. Most concrete countertops behave similar to granite with respect to staining.
- Imperfect nature of material: Concrete countertops are hand made and hand finished, so minor imperfections should be seen as an advantage. Since concrete is a heterogeneous mixture of many different ingredients, subtle variations in color, shade, texture and overall appearance should be expected. All concrete is susceptible to tiny, harmless hairline cracks. They will sometimes appear months or years after installation, and are generally a result of seasonal movement of the cabinets and the house itself. These should be considered part of the aesthetic charm of concrete, and not a defect. Like natural stone, concrete exhibits natural beauty rather than plastic perfection.
Following are some of the key disadvantages of designing with concrete:
- Unrealistic expectations on the part of consumers: All concrete countertops are not the same. The concrete's stain-, heat- and scratch-resistance depend on the maker. Individual craftspeople can provide information about performance characteristics of sealers used, so designers can properly educate clients about what to expense. Due diligence is key to client satisfaction.
- Long lead time: Concrete countertops are a long lead time item. Precast concrete countertops generally take approximately four to six weeks to create. Custom colors or custom integral sink shapes, for example, can add additional time. Early planning and project coordination are the keys to successfully integrating concrete countertops into a project.
- Difficulties in finding good concrete countertop craftspeople: Not all concrete countertops are created equal. This is an extremely important point, and the source of most problems with concrete countertops.
Finding a Professional
Reliable, professional concrete countertop makers can be hard to find. There simply aren't enough competent craftspeople in all areas of the country. More contractors are seeing the popularity of concrete countertops and getting into the business.
This will increase supply, but it also necessitates caution.
Many decorative concrete contractors mistakenly believe that they can elevate a floor on some cabinets and that makes a concrete countertop. However, the aesthetic and performance requirements of any countertop are different from those for any floor. Many excellent concrete countertop craftsmen get started with floors, but kitchen designers should not assume that because a contractor has experience with concrete floors that he or she can automatically make a good concrete countertop.
In hiring a contractor who works with concrete countertops, it is critical to get references, get samples and see actual projects they've done. Find out how much experience they have or how well they've been trained. Consider the contractor's professionalism and membership in any trade organizations.
Books and videos have made it easy for do-it-yourselfers and entry level contractors to make concrete countertops, but these tend to be low in price and poor quality. It's best to avoid shopping by price. Concrete countertops are not a low-price alternative, and a contractor who says otherwise may not understand the quality level the kitchen and bath industry demands.
Some kitchen and bath design professionals, having had a bad experience with the material in the past, or having read blanket statements such as "concrete countertops stain" or "concrete countertops crack," may feel that they cannot trust the material in their designs. But, as with any material, using the right concrete countertop maker can make all the difference. Reviewing the information here, and on www.ConcreteCountertops.net, may cast a different light on concrete's potential, subsequently opening up a whole new world of design possibilities.
What Design Pros Need to Know About the Concrete Countertop Process
Although kitchen and bath design professionals will generally not be responsible for making a concrete countertop, it's important for them to understand how the countertop will be made. Understanding the process will help them to better plan projects and build realistic client expectations about the time frame, performance characteristics, etc.
The basic steps of the process for making precast concrete countertops are as follows:
- Template: This is done exactly as it would be with other countertop surfaces, usually with manual methods, to produce a full-size template.
- Form: Forms made of melamine, wood, steel or foam are built around the templates on sturdy, flat and level casting tables. The forms are almost always built for upside-down casting.
- Reinforce: Steel rebar or carbon fiber grid is arranged to sit in the bottom of the countertop (the top of the forms) to provide tensile strength to the concrete and prevent breakage.
- Mix: The concrete is mixed either using a from-scratch recipe of sand, cement, aggregate and special chemical admixtures or highly specialized concrete countertop mixes. Usually pigments are mixed in at this point to provide coloring.
- Pour: The concrete is poured or placed into the forms. If custom embedments such as pieces of glass or metal are used, they are usually secured to the bottom of the forms with the concrete poured over them for a custom look.
- Cure: Concrete hardens and strengthens through a chemical curing process. Slabs must be kept damp and covered during the curing period. The length of time needed to cure to an appropriate strength depends on the properties of the mix, and varies widely, according to experts..
- Hone/Grind: The forms are stripped away, and then the slabs are flipped over. Depending on the mix design and method, the slabs may require grinding, slurrying with a cement paste to fill air holes in the concrete and polishing. Usually edge designs have already been cast in the countertop; however, it is possible to use diamond tooling to cut edge designs, but any aggregates in the concrete will be exposed.
- Stain or Dye (Optional): Some craftsmen use acid stain or dyes to color the surface of the concrete. Sometimes these colorings are applied over integrally colored concrete to give more depth of color or patterning, or over stencils to create an intricate pattern for a unique look.
- Seal: Concrete must be sealed. Many of the performance properties of concrete countertops (stain resistance, acid resistance, heat resistance, scratch resistance, required maintenance) depend on the sealer. Concrete countertop manufacturers use a wide range of sealers, from penetrating to film-building, that provide a wide range of performance characteristics, gloss and build levels.
- Install: Installation is performed almost exactly the same way granite countertops are installed.

Tyler Perry's most famous character Madea is actually the least obnoxious part of his latest movie, Madea's Witness Protection. Given that Madea is Perry in drag as an overweight gray-haired woman who delights in threatening people with violence, this is pretty amazing.
The Madea movies aren't supposed to be nuanced character portraits, they're Teachable Moments. In this case, it's about shady businesses and Ponzi schemes — Bernie Madoff is even referred to by name. Although there's no doubt we're all feeling the repercussions of the 2008 financial crisis and will be for some time to come, Madoff isn't exactly breaking news any more. Perry also wants to have his cake and eat it too, showing the greed and corruption of big companies while also offering at least one of the people at fault both the benefit of the doubt and a shot at redemption. None of it adds up, and half of the movie is taken up by a tiresome group of snobs who deserve their comeuppance at the hands of Madea.
The Needlemans are a rich, white family whose patriarch is inadvertently involved in a Madoff-like Ponzi scheme. The mob is somehow involved — don't ask — so the Atlanta ADA Brian (also Perry) puts them up at the safest place he knows: his Aunt Madea's house. George, played by Eugene Levy's eyebrows, is such a schmuck that he had no idea he was being set up to take the fall or that the company he worked for was stealing millions of dollars from charities. Denise Richards plays his typically brittle and much younger housewife Kate, whose main interests seem to be yoga ("yoda" in Madea-speak) and carbs. They both let George's daughter Cindy (Danielle Campbell) walk all over them, and George and Kate's son Howie (Devan Leos) is the subject of many "fat loser"-type jokes. George's mother Barbara (Doris Roberts) is either senile or pretending to be or is just pilled out from all the Valium they give her; she's also a horny old broad that keeps making googly eyes at Joe (Madea's brother, Brian's father, and, of course Tyler Perry in old man drag). Cindy is so awful that it's a relief when Madea lets loose on her, even though it's a truly cruel prank that sets the girl straight. They are all totally boring and incredibly annoying, so much so that any time Madea or even Joe appears, it's a relief.
The other half of the Teachable Moments equation is Jake, played by Romeo Miller. Jake was living a life of crime until he got straightened out, and then his dad, a sickly preacher played by John Amos, trusted him with all the money to pay off the church mortgage. Unfortunately, he invested it in a company in New York that's no longer answering their phones. Jake tries to hold up Madea for cash after she leaves the grocery store. She gives him a sound talking-to, the gist of which is he should get a job and stop trying to rob old ladies who have worked hard all their life. (True!) However, he's just trying to raise the money he lost investing in a company in New York, the money his sick father gave him to pay off the church mortgage that's now lost. In case you can't follow the dots, that would be the company George worked for that lost all the money for his dad's church, leading him to a life of robbing little old ladies for pocket change. Besides the tragic waste of Amos, Marla Gibbs plays a nosy neighbor for about half a minute.
Perry's writing shows a disturbing amount of cynicism, if not downright meanness, for a family movie. When Kate and Madea have a heart-to-heart about Cindy, Kate confesses that Cindy thinks her dad cheated on her mom with Kate. Kate says, "What kind of person do you think I am?" And Madea purrs, sotto voice, "A woman." There are also plenty of jokes about Madea's previous life as, among other things, a stripper, especially in conjunction with her weight. (She had to use a telephone pole when she danced. Get it? 'Cause she's fat! Hah!) It's unfortunate that the spoof reel that plays after the credits is mor

GCC 4.6.x Gcrypt, GraphicsMagick and HMMer results are so abysmal, bugs must be filed immediately.
Phoronix: GCC 4.6 Compiler Performance With AVX
While we are still battling issues with the Intel Linux graphics driver in getting that running properly with Intel's new Sandy Bridge CPUs (at least Intel's Jesse Barnes is now able to reproduce the most serious problem we've been facing, but we'll save the new graphics information for another article), the CPU performance continues to be very compelling. Two weeks ago we published the Intel Core i5 2500K Linux benchmarks that showed just how well this quad-core CPU that costs a little more than $200 USD is able to truly outperform previous generations of Intel hardware. That was just with running the standard open-source benchmarks and other Linux software, which has not been optimized for Intel's latest micro-architecture. Version 4.6 of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) though is gearing up for release and it will bring support for the AVX extensions. In this article, we are benchmarking GCC 4.6 on a Sandy Bridge system to see what benefits there are to enabling the Core i7 AVX optimizations.
GCC 4.6.x Gcrypt, GraphicsMagick and HMMer results are so abysmal, bugs must be filed immediately.
Many of these results are very unsurprising.
One would not expect any kind of change in an HTTP server from AVX/SSE/MMX/AltiVec/NEON, except perhaps in SSL performance or gzip compression performance (which may not be tested by that benchmark, I suspect).
In many other cases, AVX is basically going to perform identically to SSE2. In a few cases with auto-vectorization of code it's possible for the compiler to cut the number of vector instructions down dramatically (twice as many components per vector in AVX as in SSE).
In most cases with highly optimized code bases, they are using hand-rolled SSE code. So compiling with AVX turned on will have no effect because the code is explicitly using 128-bit SSE.
For a lot of things like graphics where the code is very explicitly written around four-component vectors, the most AVX is going to offer is the ability to use double-precision floats instead of single-precision floats, but nobody is actually using double-precision because that eats up twice as much memory, twice as much bandwidth to the GPU, and it just makes things even more slower because the GPUs don't use double-precision floats internally so the driver has to manually convert those buffers from double to single precision before uploading to the GPU. A particularly clever programmer could manage to combine many vector operations to using AVX to perform two such operations simultaneously, but that code will be complex and trying to write/maintain it will be pure hell compared to using an SSE-based vector class.
The apps that will benefit the most from AVX extensions with this option are applications that (a) have no been hand-optimized to already use SSE primitives and (b) which make use of large arrays processed in loops which can actually be auto-vectorized.
I'm fairly sure that will mostly boil down to scientific applications and a handful of unsupported and previously slow as crap codec libraries.
Well, Intel hired CodeSourcery (long time contributors to GCC) to work specifically on GCC optimizations for the CoreiX range and afaik those optimizations where not ready in time to be included in GCC 4.6 so chances are there's alot more performance coming our way in future GCC releases.
Please can you try these tests but without lto switched on
From my testing (even on 4.6) it causes huge regressions in the speed and size of all executables, it isn't as bad when using gold as the linker but glibc can't be compiled with that yet
Also what flags are being used to compile the software you're running?
That is obviously because you are not using flto properly. You need to pass the optimization flags (CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS) to the linker aswell (LDFLAGS) else the resulting code will not be optimized at all and thus be larger and slower. Read the documentation on flto. Afaik this won't be necessary in GCC 4.6 when it is released, but it certainly is on 4.5.x. As for performance improvements with flto, it very much depends on the program as per usual, but it pretty much always manages to cut down the executable by a good margin.
Actually I was using LTO properly. The reason the packages were so bit was mostly down to the .a static archives containing all the extra information
The resulting binaries were still larger and noticeably slower when using LTO - I tried recompiling my whole system using it
What extra information? If you are using LTO (-flto, -fwhole-program) correctly there is NO extra information ending up in either binaries or libraries (libs will not work with -fwhole-program). What you are most likely talking about are the GIMPLE code that is placed in the elf sections during compilation using -flto which is used (and of course STRIPPED from then resulting binary) to perform LTO during the linker stage. If you do not add the necessary flags to the linker stage (CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS, -flto, -fwhole-program (if applicable) ) then your program will end up unoptimized AND it's elf sections filled with GIMPLE code, which means slower and bigger.
Take a program, either edit it's makefile or ./configure it
add -flto -fwhole-program to the CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS
add -flto -fwhole-program AND whatever optimization flags you use to the LDFLAGS
CFLAGS = -O3 -march=native -flto -fwhole-program
LDFLAGS = -Wall -O3 -march=native -flto -fwhole-program
compare program executable size
It'd be helpful if you included the exact configure line used to build GCC. In particular, did you use --enable-checking="release" for 4.6? If not then it's defaulting to "yes" because it's a snapshot and you're comparing apples to oranges.
Also, I'm a little confused about what optimization options were used with the earlier GCC versions. You say "This was then followed by building out our test library [...] with the core2, corei7, and corei7-avx options". I'm assuming you're talking about 4.6 since the latter two flags don't exist < 4.6. I also see a 4.6.0 entry with no arch listed. Does this mean that no -march flag was used for 4.3.5, 4.4.5, 4.5.2, and the bare 4.6.0? If so, your results are going to vary between versions because they have different -march/-mtune values when none are given on the command line.
(as of 4.5 the default for -march is based of the target tuple, in this case x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)Code:$ echo "int main() { return 0; }" | gcc-4.3.5 -v -E - 2>&1 | grep cc1 /usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.3.5/cc1 -E -quiet -v - -mtune=generic $ echo "int main() { return 0; }" | gcc-4.4.5 -v -E - 2>&1 | grep cc1 /usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.4.5/cc1 -E -quiet -v - -mtune=generic $ echo "int main() { return 0; }" | gcc-4.5.2 -v -E - 2>&1 | grep cc1 /usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.5.2/cc1 -E -quiet -v - -mtune=generic -march=x86-64 $ echo "int main() { return 0; }" | gcc-4.6.0-pre9999 -v -E - 2>&1 | grep cc1 /usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.6.0-pre9999/cc1 -E -quiet -v - -mtune=generic -march=x86-64
While it may be that you're demonstrating the differences between the "defaults" of different GCC versions, it would be far more interesting IMO to see how 4.{3..6} -march=x86-64 (or even core2) stack up.
Unless they were using -flto when compiling there will be no difference between 4.6 configured with --enable-lto or not.

I looked all over the web for a kitchen cart to add extra storage and counter space to my kitchen. This item was the perfect solution. It fits nicely under the window and I am now storing large pots and casserole dishes on the lower shelf, onions/potatoes in a basket on one wire rack with my pot/pan lids on the other rack. The drawer holds several kitchen tools (rolling pins, immersion blender, etc.) while the speed rack has my most commonly used oils and spices as well as the kitchen towels and oven mitts. The work surface is large and versatile with the wood and marble surfaces meeting all of my prep needs. The 'chop and drop' system is a game changer and makes clean up so much easier. It took a few hours to put together but if you read through the instructions completely before starting and use the written instructions along with the diagrams it is pretty straight forward. This product has exceeded my expectations and I am very happy with it.
It is not that sturdy. After we moved it around a bit it started to become flexible. Maybe I didn't put it together right -- but it wasn't that hard to put together.
SORRY FOR THE LENGTHY REVIEW BUT IF YOU'RE SPENDING THIS MUCH MONEY ON THIS PIECE I WANTED TO PROVIDE A THOROUGH DETAILED REVIEW FOR YOU GUYS. HOPE IT HELPS. Ok let me tell you first off this is a beautiful island & gets A lot of use from rolling dough on the granite to cutting veggies on the butcher block which easily pulls out so you can carry it over to your stove, a convenient trash bin directly under the butcher cutting board, locking wheels, easy rolling wherever you want to take it to make your workstation, lots of storage in the large pullout, shelving on the bottom, storage basket on side of cart, rings to hang laddle/rolling pin/measuring cups. I LOVE this cart not only for it's beauty but how functional it is. I am surprised how much use we get out of it, not to mention our newly remodeled kitchen stays super clean because all mess is made on this cart instead of all over the counters in the entire kitchen so clean up is super easy. Now for the bad....the handle that comes with this cart is super light & cheapy. To cheap for a cart of this caliber in terms of expense & beauty so we put a solid stainless steel longer handle pull. The other thing is it was a FIASCO to try & put this cart together !!!! OMG the directions were not the easiest to follow & there were SO MANY parts & pieces. It came completely dismantled in shipping :(( So be prepared for some time & patience. But once done it's just beautiful. One big thing that we were very frustrated with was that we had to wait what seemed like forever to receive it & once we did I didn't waste anytime to get my husband to put it together to start using it quickly but after opening it it was severely damaged. The side wood panels were cracked & the granite piece was broken into two pieces. We called O & they set up for parts delivery. We waited and waited & waited !!! Got no parts so we called & they said there was a problem with the warehouse that sends the parts so they sent a whole new piece to us. I was ready to give up but glad I didn't because it is a GREAT workstation & gets used at least 2-3x day!!!!!

Everyone please remember that WE are the people. Not any political party.
C'mon people at least vote at the top right of the page in favor of this bill. 1261 views today, 67/1 votes….pitiful. I know it's largely symbolic, but hey…if you can't support it here, what's that say about supporting this endeavor elsewhere?
Either support this bill or don't support, but at least vote!!!
I've been keeping busy, trading stocks to get by, since I can't find work. Last November my mother (lives with me), got a blood clot in her lungs. I happened to be right next to her when it happned (she passed out while I ws getting her into her bed). I called 911, they got her to the hospital. Her doctor said had I waited she would have died. He saw the scan of her lungs and saw where the clot was. GOD's timing. If this had happened any other time, if I had been in another room or even at my computer ( a way from her), she could have died. She's doing great now, even better then before. She's 85. She spent a week in the hospital and 2 months in skiled nursing (her insurance paid for every thing :)
Hi John B,
We were wondering if you had found a job. I guess too many of us have not found anything. So here we are again.
Glad to hear you were able to take care of your mother in the nick of time. It was definitely providential that you were there. Wow, she's 85! You're lucky to still have her around.
We have a long way to go with this hoped-for unemployment extension. If it gets approved, we still have to wait for EDD to send the checks. I really hope this all works out.
Mrs. Chang
Let's try not to debate Ted Kennedy this time ;)
We need some votes over here big time too!
Thank you.
We need to show a little force to my Libertarian friends I think.
We can do that if you want. Wouldn't want to tread on your turf there fuzzy :-)
Did I see you on twitter old man?
Are you going to check your email this week?
Give me a call.
We have our differences, but I like those guys in many ways. I'm not calling it the fleet, just viewers that may want to vote there too.
My frigging email is overflowing…and you know I don't do twitter :P
Thank you people. I see it is up to 76% for this bill on Washington Watch now.
America's labor force hasn't grown since '08
Call it the Mystery of the Missing Workers.
Since 2008, the American labor force—that is, the number of people either working or actively working for work—hasn't grown at all, The Economist reports, looking at Labor Department numbers.
That's not unusual during a recession, which typically leads some of the unemployed to become discouraged and give up looking for work, or to retire early. At the other demographic end of the labor market, recessions can also prompt some young people to go to school instead of entering the workforce, The Economist explains.
But things usually turn around during the recovery. This time, however, that's not happening: Since the Great Recession officially ended in mid 2009, the "participation rate"—the share of the population in the labor force—has continued to decline, especially among the young,
But the problem appears to have deeper roots. In the 1990s, the labor force grew by 1.3 percent a year. Last decade, that figure dropped to 1 percent. And the Congressional Budget Office predicts that over the next decade, it will grow by only 0.7 percent.
Taken together, the slow growth of the labor force and the low participation rate mean that the offiical unemployment rate, now at an already high 9 percent, underplays the actual rate of joblessness even more than such official figures usually do. Â That's because the official rate doesn't include workers who have grown discouraged and stopped looking for work—and that number appears to be unusually high.
Great News Everybody!!!
One of "Michael's Plan" volunteers, Gerry DePeitro has just been invited to be interviewed on the Ed Show on Monday Night at 10:00 PM (EST). If you saw the video from Ed's show Wednesday night, Gerry is the lady that sold her ring that her deceased husband gave her for $20 just to get through another day.
Way to go Gerry, and way to go Ed!!! – we can't thank Ed enough for his support of this story and giving it the much needed air time that it so rightly deserves! Let's do all we can to get Ed's ratings through the roof!!!
Mr. Clark, while this is good news, we all know Ed has been speaking up for us 99ers for months now. A place we need a voice is on something like Hardball where, that I can remember, Matthews has not once said a word about us. Not a single one of the majors has even reported anything about this bill. (and I know its only day 2, but they cover a lot less important stories when they break.) We all know how the majors are avoiding us like the plague and refuse to report anything or at least just about anything to do with us. I've sent the question to Matthews & Hardball many times asking simply "why don't you do any segments on the 99ers?". To date all I get back is silence. Matthews would be one that just might make a difference.
Great news:):):)……. all their quantitative bullshit disguises the real essence of what we are going through……..they don't care that we are marginalized…….. the 20 million with their families is at leasst 60 million (since number seem to be manipulated)
To them, we are the unfortunate casualty in this "Great Recession"…..it's a joke.
Obama acts like he's in a vacume….. Each and every one of us is irreplaceably important….don't let the indignities wear you down…..
I'll reply this to you because I already commented on this. From one of the original tea party founders…
Tea Party My Ass, Yet Again
You were lied to America.
I told you this before the election. That you were snookered, lied to, and bamboozled. That you would not get either real fiscal accountability or liberty and The Rule of Law out of The Tea Party.
Many said I was full of crap.
It really does come down to "We The People" in the end my friend.
We see the views coming in now.
Don't be afraid to jump in people.
$1.3 BILLION dollars per year given to Egypt from the US for decades just for their military……
But our own people can be left to die on the streets by the millions?
In following the progress of the unemployment extension legislation it is revealed that it is being identified as HR 589 Emergency Unemployment Compensation Extension Act of 2011. The emergency legislation was introduced Wednesday by Congresswoman Barbara Lee to the House Ways and Means Committee.
This is an alert. It is imperative that every 99er work to flood the Ways and Means Committee with emails demanding that the legislation expediently be moved through the committee and onto the House floor. These are the individuals who sit on the Subcommittee on Human Resources of the Ways and Means Committee. Also call the Capitol switchboard at 1-866-220-0044 and ask to speak to these members. Don't ask, demand, that HR 589 be put through.
I understand that support for the bill will probably be its single greatest obstacle as most of the politicians are already bought and serve only those special interests that paid for them. In observing the political maneuvering in Washington DC, I am beginning to wonder if HR 6556 is being put in place as a measure of compromise. We all remember that as a condition of getting the last unemployment extension passed, the great compromiser Barry Soetoro gave billions of dollars of tax breaks to the top 2%.
It is apparent that the filthy rich are far from satisfied with the record profits they made last year, and indeed want a lot more. When are we going to reach the point that we just say no to those who insist that if you give a poor man one dollar, you automatically have to give a rich man one million?

Patients at Norman Regional Hospital come from many places – from Purcell to Ada and even as far as New York and Japan. And with them come their family members – who are often unfamiliar with the area and have no place to stay. To alleviate the stress these family members face, Norman Regional has the Hospitality House. It offers convenient, affordable, overnight accommodations for out-of-town families. Opened in April 2002, The Hospitality House is getting a new look and a new name this March! The remodel was made possible by generosity of the family whose mother was a driving force in the Hospitality House's creation. Doris Luttrell was a nurse and volunteer at Norman Regional Hospital. Her husband was long-time administrator Richard Luttrell, and the idea for the Hospitality House came from his hospitalization, said daughter Anne Luttrell. "Shortly after our dad retired, he had a heart attack and bypass surgery at Baptist Hospital. He took weeks to recover and my mom stayed in one of their hospitality suites," Anne said. "She realized then how important that was to have some place to rest and shower that was close when you lived miles from the hospital." Doris worked to make the Hospitality House at Norman Regional a reality. Her children Richard and Anne wanted to honor their mother's memory with a $20,000 gift to remodel the Hospitality House "We are giving this money to honor both our parents in the hopes that the Hospitality House can give tired family members a soft spot to fall for a long time to come," Anne said. Richa Barnes was the Director of Volunteer Services at the time of the Hospitality House's creation. "Doris was so involved the entire time, from the committee that researched the initial idea right through to when it opened," Richa said. "She took wonderful ownership of it. The Hospitality House really was her house." Jan Fendley has been a volunteer at the Hospitality House for nine years. She said the Hospitality House is a lovely place and she enjoys being able to help families during a stressful time. "People staying at the Hospitality Hose have patients in the ICU and other serious situations – and we are a friendly face," Jan said. "They like to talk to relieve their stress and also they really appreciate being so close to the hospital." A map hangs in the Hospitality House that marks where visitors are from. Sometimes those places are across the country or even across the globe. A couple from New York rested at the Hospitality House while the twins they adopted were in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. A family from Japan stayed at the house while their child – a student from the University of Oklahoma – was hospitalized. Wendy Fiebrich, the current Director of Volunteer Services, said the Luttrells' donation will help families by keeping the Hospitality House a comfortable place to stay with the amenities of a hotel or home. The remodel added new carpet, fresh paint, new flatscreen televisions, and upgraded furniture. "Everything is new," she said. Norman Regional Health System and the NRH Auxiliary also chose to re-name the Hospitality House in memory of one of its greatest supporters – Doris Luttrell. The Doris Luttrell Hospitality House is celebrating its new look and name with a grand opening ceremony from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, March 8. The Hospitality House is located directly south of Norman Regional Hospital on Rich Street. The Hospitality House has eight rooms – one that is wheelchair accessible. Each room sleeps up to four people. The cost is $35 per night for two guests and each additional guest is $15. It also offers cable television, a garden patio, and guest laundry facilities. To check room availability, call (405) 307-6691. |

Saturday, May 16, 2015
9 am - 5 pm
You open a door to a dark room and you think you know what's there, where everything is arranged, but you really don't know until you step inside.
— Bob Dylan, Chronicles, Vol. 1
Aversion to anxiety is often accompanied by reactivity and actions that worsen how we feel. We suffer. This workshop, taught from the perspectives of Zen and mindfulness meditation practices, is supported by the latest neuroscience and psychological research.
Our focus for the day will be on our direct experience. We will practice uncovering the natural state of a quieted mind, slowing down enough to see what is actually happening when we describe ourselves as anxious. As we cultivate the opportunity to be with what is actually happening with awareness and clarity, we can respond to difficulties with consciousness, ease and new choices, rather than with reactivity that at times can make things worse.
This workshop is supported with guided meditations and psychotherapeutic strategies and is appropriate for those who are new to meditation and for those who are experienced meditators. The workshop also meets the CE criteria for several health care professional designations.
$100; $90 current SFZC members; $80 limited income.

Hi everyone.
I've been thinking for a while that it might be a useful exercise to go through a step 4 on here. Step 4 always seems to make people a lot more afraid than it really needs to. If you are fearless and thorough and follow the directions given in the BB, then it is a very useful and worthwhile action.
My idea is to post on here my columns as I go through them one by one with my comments on why I write what I do in each section, and to invite comments question and discussion as we go along.
Dallas said 'go for it.' Do people think this might be useful/interesting?
I'll start in a few days if people are interested.

Angels complete sweep of the Rockies, 10-8
June 10th, 2012, 3:46 pm by BILL PLUNKETT, OCREGISTER.COMMark Trumbo drove in six runs with a pair of three-run home runs as the Angels completed a three-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies with an 10-8 victory Sunday afternoon at Coors Field.
The Angels outscored the Rockies 28-15 in taking the series and are now 9-2 all-time in Colorado. Sunday's win was also the Angels' ninth consecutive on the road -- and 14th in their past 18 overall, the best in the majors since May 22. The nine-game road winning streak is their longest since a club-record 11 consecutive wins on the road in July-August 1988.
It started at the top where the first three batters in their lineup (Mike Trout, Torii Hunter and Albert Pujols) were a combined 23 for 42 with 21 runs scored in the three-game series.
That trio started a string of five consecutive hits to start the game with the first of Trumbo's home runs doing most of the damage as the Angels jumped out to a 4-0 lead before Ervin Santana even took the mound.
It was 6-1 after a two-run home run by Hunter in the top of the second but Santana managed to give it all away. He gave up a three-run home run to Tyler Colvin (nearly caught over the fence by Trout in center field) and a two-run home run by Carlos Gonzalez to tie the game.

This was think and slick on my deep tissue, my relaxing sweedish, my lite russian, and perfect for my structural integration clients. It also has no scent. My clients love it so much I bought the 8oz for them to have at home. I buy this product every 6 months because it lasts so long. It's the best lotion cream I have tried and I have tried EVERYone on this website before I opened my spa.
I was a die hard Biotone Advance Therapy Massage gel user for years. I stumbled upon this product years ago and LOVE IT. My clients even know when I've "strayed" to a different product.
This creme is amazing. We have used several other massage creme from Massage Warehouse and this is by far our favorite. The scent is wonderful and the consistency is smooth without any greasiness. I use it on sensitive faces and no adverse reaction. Highly recommend it.
best cream i have ever used
wow i got the small one in the scented one and the gal. of the unscented i really like the way this product glides. i have been trying alot of different creams some way too thick.. or too thin.. this is really just right.. i love it i love the sale price can't beat it so cant wait to order more...

Each season certain teams have a changing of the guard at quarterback. Which is basically a get rid of the old guy, bring in a new guy kind of thing.Last season, the Bills went from Fitzpatrick to Manuel, the Jets went from Sanchez to Geno Smith, the Chiefs went from Cassel to Alex Smith, the Raiders went from Palmer to Pryor, the Eagles went from Foles back to Vick, and the Cardinals went from Miley Cyrus (or so it seemed) to Carson Palmer.This year, certain quarterbacks like Josh Freeman and Mark Sanchez already have one foot out the door. While quarterbacks like Brandon Weeden or Blaine Gabbert will have to turn it around in order to remain with their current teams.So here is a list of the signal-callers that are most likely to be switching teams, otherwise known as the Matt Flynn/Tim Tebow list:

Costa Rica Decaf Coffee
Product Detail
Satisfaction without Sacrifice Enjoy the taste of Costa Rican export-quality coffee without the caffeine. Café Britt Decaffeinated is carefully dark roasted for a delicate, clean taste hinting of honey and clove. An aroma of the seeds and dry leaves evokes a serene autumn afternoon. Its complexity intensifies as it cools, for a finish tinged with nostalgia. You won't believe you're drinking decaf!
- 100% Arabica SHB (Strictly Hard Bean).
- Kosher certified.
Coffee Connoisseur
By the time our Costa Rica Decaffeinated splashes into your cup, it has completed a notable journey. Destined for great things, the coffee beans originate in the Central Valley, where a unique climate and favorable altitude produce some of the world's best coffees.
From our Costa Rican highlands, the coffee beans make their first journey to Veracuz-Mexico where they undergo an indirect-water process that removes their caffeine without sacrificing their flavor. This process mixes water with steamed beans to draw out their caffeine.
The caffeinated water is then separated from the coffee beans and 99.9% of the caffeine is removed. The final step reintroduces the decaffeinated water to the beans restoring any flavor that may have been extracted during the process.
The primed coffee beans return home to Costa Rica where we dark roast them. Whether you sip coffee all day or drink a cup with evening sweets, our Costa Rica Decaffeinated blend delivers all the flavor, without the caffeine. Sweet dreams!
