Tax impasse pushes session into next weekBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | May 11,2013MONTPELIER A late-session standoff over tax policy has postponed what was to be a Saturday adjournment as leaders in the House and Senate decide whether to proceed with major changes to the tax code in the face of thinly veiled veto threats from Gov. Peter Shumlin.
In a stark warning to a House and Senate controlled by members of his own party, the Democratic governor Friday cautioned against proposed revisions to the income tax code that would raise burdens on the rich and bring down tax bills for the middle class.
House Speaker Shap Smith and Senate President John Campbell say the changes are revenue neutral, and therefore dont violate the no-new-taxes bargain they cut with the Democratic governor earlier this week.
Shumlin, however, said the proposal would derail the states economic recovery.
This is a bad idea at the wrong time, Shumlin said late Friday evening. Ive made it very clear: We should not raise income taxes, we will not raise income taxes, and we must not raise income taxes.
Rep. Janet Ancel, an East Montpelier Democrat and chairwoman of the House Committee on Ways and Means, said Thursday the proposal isnt an income tax hike at all. She said the plan would function as a middle-class tax cut that benefits about 250,000 taxpayers nearly three-quarters of all income tax filers.
The proposal would cap the dollar value of the deductions used mostly by wealthier Vermonters to reduce their income tax obligations. Lawmakers would then use that revenue to buy down income tax rates across the board.
Lawmakers say its an attempt to inject some fairness into a system where unlimited deductions allow some high earners to minimize their contributions to the state treasury.
People making $200,000 and up would see their tax burdens climb in the aggregate by $5.4 million per year, based on 2010 tax data. Filers reporting incomes of less than $150,000, meanwhile, would see their obligations drop by a total of $4 million annually.
The changes would be especially drastic for people earning more than $1 million, about 100 of which, based on tax data from 2010, would see their annual tax bills jump on average by nearly $25,000.
The benefits to lower-income and middle-class Vermonters arent huge filers earning between $75,000 and $100,000 would see their annual tax bills drop on average by about $80. But given the passage earlier this year of an increase in the gas tax, Ancel said, it makes sense for elected officials to find ways to make other taxes more progressive.
The gas tax is a regressive tax, so to the extent that we just increased a regressive tax, it makes sense to me to see if we can make the income tax more progressive at the same time, she said Thursday.
Shumlin disagreed forcefully. He said the proposal materialized in the waning days of the session, and that lawmakers havent sufficiently vetted its potential impacts on Vermonts fragile economic recovery. And he said he has emerging data to indicate the proposal isnt revenue-neutral.
The Legislature based its analysis on tax returns from 2010, the most recent year for which data were available. Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding said 2010 data are anomalous, as they reflect the low point coming out of the recession.
The Legislatures proposal would cap income tax deductions at 2½ times the standard deduction, meaning filers could claim maximum deductions of about $30,000.
Shumlin said preliminary analyses by the administration of the Legislatures proposal based on tax data from 2007 a year more like were in now, according to Spaulding forecasts revenue increases in the ballpark of $10 million.
Shumlin didnt have the copies of that analysis available for review at an ad hoc press conference Friday evening.
Vermonters dont want the Legislature extending the session, going into overtime to raise income taxes, and passing tax packages on the fly when we dont know what they do, Shumlin said.
Ancel and Sen. Tim Ashe, chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, say the proposal is anything but new. Ancels committee has been working on the issue of limiting deductions since 2010, when the Blue Ribbon Tax Commission a panel created by then-Senate President Peter Shumlin touted the approach not only as a way to improve equity in the tax code, but also as a way to bring down the marginal rates that lend to Vermonts image as a high-tax state.
It will have a significant impact on our economy, on our job growth, Shumlin said.
And Shumlin made it clear he wont abide the change if its passed into law.
I cannot tell you more clearly, though I dont make veto threats, this is the wrong thing to do it, we dont know what were doing, its the wrong time, we should not do it, Shumlin said.
The fight over tax policy has highlighted the ideological divisions within a one-party rule that has, for the most part, held together without incident over the first three years of the second-term governors reign.
If the split over tax policy yields legislation for which Shumlin cannot stand, the governor may have to turn to allies in the Republican super-minorities in the House and Senate.
High-ranking administration officials in recent days have sought to gauge support for their position among Republicans, should they need the minority caucuses support to sustain a veto.
House Minority Leader Don Turner said he was approached Thursday by a top Shumlin aide about the stance of his caucus on the issue of taxes. Turner earlier this year managed to get 55 no votes on the Houses version of the tax bill.
It was enough, he noted at the time, to sustain a veto should the governor be so inclined. That bill raised $23 million by raising taxes on everything from soda and candy to bottled water and clothing.
Turner said the Shumlin aide just wanted to make sure we were still in that mindset. Turner said he told the aide, Our caucus is absolutely committed to not raising taxes, and I know I can deliver those votes.
Hopes of a Saturday adjournment were dashed shortly after 5 p.m. Friday, when Smith and Campbell emerged from an hour-long meeting in the speakers office with the heads of the bodies tax and budget committees.
The two leaders said unresolved issues over the tax bill and the budget wouldnt be untangled that night, and that the Legislature would return Saturday and Monday to finish its business. Minutes later, following a small revolt among rank-and-file senators, the schedule was altered again: Lawmakers will take the weekend off, and return Monday and Tuesday.
Smith said he hopes to find resolution on a tax bill thats amenable to all parties. But he made it clear that we dont have to have agreement with the governor on the tax bill.
By Monday, members of the House and Senate will find out whether their speaker and president have dropped the proposal, of if theyll attempt to drag the governor kicking into what would be the most significant fiscal reform in recent memory.

TAKE ACTION: www.rejectjohnwest.com
Canned tuna is big business. Australians buy over 250 million cans a year. The choices tuna brands make have a huge impact on our oceans. While many brands are switching to sustainable fishing methods, the biggest brand - John West - is hooked on destructive fish aggregating devices (FADs) with purse seine nets. For every 9kg of tuna caught using this fishing method, an extra 1kg is 'bycatch' like sharks, rays, baby tuna and turtles. John West is the largest seller of canned tuna in Australia - it has a responsibility to stop destroying our oceans and ban the use of destructive FADs.

Purchased w/o benefit of reviews to read, I WON!
I bought these without any reviews to go by and am very happy that I did, These have been comfortable from the first time I put them on. I needed a shoe which provided a more stable platform as my vision has decreased and my tennis shoes seemed wobbly to me anymore.
I have a much firmer feeling now while walking - no more unsteadiness. I recommend these shoes to anyone looking for a comfortable and stable walking shoe. 12 hrs first day was no problem!
I also think they're handsome - I've had two complements on these shoes and I can't recall having had a complement on any shoe previously - sans some really expensive dress shoes that cost several hundred dollars a pair, Buy these - you'll be happy you did - I am!

Sixth grader Greg Heffley doesn't understand his annoying younger brother, obnoxious older one, or well-meaning parents. But he knows enough to record his daily thoughts in a manly journal - not some girly diary. In a unique novel brimming with laugh-out-loud moments, Greg chronicles his first turbulent year of middle school.

"[This] should keep readers in stitches." (Publishers Weekly)
"You need the cartoons!"
My kids love this book, so we got it as an audiobook for a car trip. The trouble is that the cartoons are an integral part of the story. Without them, you lose some of the humor. It would be perfect for reading along, if your kids already have the book, but there is definitely something missing when you just listen to the audiobook without the visuals.
"Use both!"
I use both the audio book and the actual book to help my son learn to read. He is autistic and he loves these books, but he has a hard time reading, so I bought him an i-pod and started downloading books he loves. Then I buy the actual book and he gets to listen to the books while he reads them.
It has been tremendously helpful! I highly suggest doing this will all books for kids of all ages, if they are having a difficult time reading.
"My kids were laughing out loud!"
Suddenly car trips aren't long enough for my kids (8 and 10 year old boys) because they want to continue listening to this series of books on their ipods.
"My 5 Year Old LOVES this book"
I didnt read the print version. i just thought my son would enjoy listening to stories about another little boy. BOY did he!
My son keeps pulling the punch line, "Zoo We Mama"... I dont get it, but he and his little sister think its pretty funny.
He had far too many.
It makes my son laugh ALOT.
I am on my 3rd time listening to this book. We are ordering the next book soon, but i cant get over how much my son loves it.
"Simple but quite enjoyable!"
I actually bought the print version before purchasing the audio edition. Though their was difference in the nature of enjoyment, I found both editions to be equally enjoyable.
There was no book like this before at least for me and quite original, which is one of many reasons I like this book.
His performance was great. He conveyed the atmosphere of the story well and contributed to the successful production of the audio version.
Welcome to the world according to the fifth grader, who keeps his "journal," not a diary, because he thinks when he's rich and famous, it is gonna come in handy!
I like the tone and atmosphere the author carried all through the book. Simple but quite enjoyable!
Sometimes it remember me in diferents situations.
When Greg put the CD but forgot the bateries. However, he started moving his head and dancing whitout music. His teacher saw him, and she thought he were not a normal person
I'haven't listened other performances before
It made me laught
If you always have a book with you...
"What's the big deal?"
I thought that the book was performed well enough, could have had some more expression.
But what's with the story?! I did not care for the 'Wimpy Kid' at all. I though that this would be the story of a Wimpy kid and how he overcame his shortcomings. Instead, it's about a 'poor me' brat. Really no value for kids in this book, it teaches them the wrong way to behave.
"Diary needing tone/voice"
Plot is good, especially for middle school students, yet narrator's voice is monotoned and boring. Maybe having George Lopez read it would add more flavor to it.
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
"The book is good; the reader...not so much."
My kids and I listened to this book and the reader just didn't capture the essence of the story. Zooey Mamma!!
"Full marks"
Amazing i loved the story sooo much!!!! Rowley is funny and Greg's life is like mine! Could have been a little longer though...
"Irritating narrator"
Although the story is very popular, mostly with boys, the American narrator lets down this audio recording.
I haven't laughed so much in a long time! It gives you a glimpse into the mind of an early teen boy and having been brought up with 3 sisters, I can now vaguely understand the teen boys I teach...oh the angsts and thought processes...if you want to 'go there', listen to it yourself...
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Love these shorts!
Ordered these shorts in white. I wore them so much over the summer I ordered another pair for next year. I am 59, 5ft. tall and weigh less than 100 lbs. I have a really hard time finding age appropriate shorts that fit properly and these have done the job. They are comfortable and wash really nicely too.
August 30, 2013
Perfect Shorts!!!!!
Love these shorts!!!!! Received these today and I must say these shorts are perfect. Order before they are gone.
July 30, 2013
Best fitting shorts I've found
The shorts are a very flattering cut and a nice fabric weight. I've worn them dressed down to a picnic, and dressed up on casual Friday with a dressy blouse.
July 9, 2013
At last - the perfect white short. Fitted but not tight, tapered, not too dressy, perfect weight and length. Hurry and get yours before they are gone!
June 27, 2013
these are the perfect length. I am 5'5 and they fit as pictured. They may seem snug (I ordered my usual size) but they will stretch just a bit during the day. The white is not see through.
May 22, 2013
Love these shorts
These shorts fit perfect. I got the size 2. This is the same size I wear in Limited jeans and in regular Limited Pants. The shorts are the same quality as you have come to expect from Limited clothes.
May 9, 2013
Cute but odd length
These are not as long as pictured. I found by rolling them a couple of times they look fine. They fit like the 678 line and the material is not see through. I think if a person is rather short they might fit like pictured. I do think they are cute for summer.
April 17, 2013
These shorts are great. I have three different colors in these because I liked them so well.

Phoronix: Dota 2 Is Now Available For Testing On Linux
Dota 2, the popular game out of Valve Software that was just talked about earlier today for being soon on its way for a Linux release, is now available for testing...
I don't see it in steam :/
Me neither.
Reminds me of the mistaken mention of Portal 2 being available when only the first Portal game is currently.
Perhaps only certain users are getting access to the test client at the moment..? General availability looks like it's still a while off according to the Dota 2 site, for both the Mac and Linux clients.
Interesting. Linux version before a mac version.. Times are changing.
Screw that :PYou are currently 13382 in the Launch Queue
You will be notified by email when the game is ready for download.
A decade of bittorrent, and some people still using queues...
Last edited by Artemis3; 07-11-2013 at 12:41 AM.
Its in my library under Dota 2 Test. I had to go to the dota2 store page and then click to add to my library or play or whatever it said, which then put me into a queue like the poster above me. I thought that it would be a long time before I was in but about 2 hours later I was accepted and Im downloading it now.
Guys, If you had DotA2 on windows you can get it right now. Dota2 just came out of beta on windows and is now on a rolling launch (the reason for queue, they don't wan the game servers to be overloaded with new players since it's a free game).
Also the test client for linux is incompatible with the main client that's released on windows. You can only play with other test users.
omgomgomgomgomg!!!!!!!11111ononeone :E downloading now ! :E
Shit. There goes my life. There goes summer. DotA HERE I COME!

Costa took control of the day's race with a push up the Category 2 climb of Col de Manse and won his second career stage by a wide margin.
The true drama was about 11 minutes behind where Alberto Contador tried to narrow his overall margin with Froome on the ascent side of Col de Manse and kept the pressure on during the descent into Gap, France.
But Froome never let Contador get in a comfortable position. A final try by Contador to pull away resulted in his losing control of his bike on one of the hairpin turns. That also forced Froome off the road but both were able to keep pace with the group.
As a result, Froome kept his lead of 4 minutes, 14 seconds over Bauke Mollema and 4:25 ahead of Contador. Roman Kreuziger is fourth another 3 seconds back and Nairo Alexander Quintana Rojas has moved into fifth, 5:47 off Froome's pace.
Costa finished the 104.4-mile run from Vaison-la-Romaine to Gap in 3 hours, 52 minutes, 45 seconds. Four riders, led by Christophe Riblon, came in 42 seconds later.
Quintana Rojas, in 27th, guided the leaders' group, which included Froome, across 11:08 after Costa crossed.
The riders have an individual time trial Wednesday, traveling 19.9 miles in the Alps from Embrun to Chorges. The route includes two Category 2 climbs.

Next AN Night - October 26 '10 with Gary Montalbano

• Page 1 of 1
Next AN Night - October 26 '10 with Gary MontalbanoA heads up to all ANers and friends that the next AnimationNation Night will be yet another memorable event as we welcome the one and only Gary Montalbano to the scene.
Gary is one of the industry's foremost visual development artists and production designers. His career spans three decades starting in the 1980s and he's still going strong today. Check out some of his work. http://www.garymontalbano.com Gary's just published his first book, "Memories Within Dreams", a comprehensive presentation of his remarkable art. http://budsartbooks.com/prod.cfm/pc/MMS/cid/21 He'll be available to discuss this magnum opus of his, face to face, so "book" the evening in advance! AN Night with Gary Montalbano Tuesday evening, October 26, 2010 2006 W. Magnolia Blvd. Burbank CA 91506 Look for the Burbank Association of Realtors Building. Head upstairs to the hall. Doors open at 7pm. We go until... ??? Pizza and sodas for sale at $5. We'll also have another round of the AN Night Raffle as this has proved popular. There's plenty of free parking in the lot and on the spacious streets. See you there!
Re: Next AN Night - October 26 '10 with Gary MontalbanoAre we going to have a Haloween costume contest?
Re: Next AN Night - October 26 '10 with Gary MontalbanoAll three of us ended up being a lot more busy this month at the same time. Usually, one or two of us can pick up the slack when the other is away. But this month it ends up that Adrian, Charles and myself have a very full plate.
If someone here wants to arrange it, spread the word and get people motivated to be apart of it then the space will be provided. I can most likely provide a DJ to give it a little more flare to the event. But I can't do much more. If anyone is interested then contact me. Email in my signature. And we can work it out.
Re: Next AN Night - October 26 '10 with Gary Montalbanoand by the way, Gary's Book is amazing! We did very well at our book signing at Petra Gallery. After Richard Chavez, now your getting another round of inspiration to bring home ready to create. He's a monster talent, and a solid person.
Re: Next AN Night - October 26 '10 with Gary MontalbanoI knew Gary's book would go over well. I predict more strong sales for it, and I can't (seriously) wait to get my hands on a copy. Or maybe two.
Nice to know I'm not the only one juggling priorities, but I'm continually wishing I could take a greater role in helping with organizing these festivities. For the moment, I will have to be satisfied with posting here and being in attendance for AN Nights.
Re: Next AN Night - October 26 '10 with Gary MontalbanoA Halloween costume contest is a great idea. I'm totally open to this and would welcome it.
If you guys would like to show up in costume that'll be a lot of fun. We can feature both Gary Montalbano and a Halloween Costume Contest.
Re: Next AN Night - October 26 '10 with Gary MontalbanoFull plate? My plate is more like gushing over the edges for a couple months and will continue to do so for a while still. I'm floored in overdrive and someone snapped off the stick shift. Just for clarification (and speaking for myself), especially as far as priorities are concerned, AN has always stayed at the top of my list because that's the nature of the work I do, so I'm still here almost all the time doing or checking on something. I don't have the choice to slow down for that long. Not only that but the list of tasks I have to do seems to double every month.
AN Nights are kind of a different story. Considering my distance from LA, I'm lucky enough to keep showing up as much as I do, but I always plan on being at AN Night. If nothing gets in the way of the 3 hour drive (one way), I'll be there for sure. For Halloween, I agree with everyone. It's a good idea. Maybe we can have a couple prizes or first, second and third place? Anyone want to donate some prizes to hand out to the winners? I can mention something in the newsletter and we can promote a Halloween party on the AN Night page which is about all I can do either way. We can spread the word here and I'll put something up on the site, but that's it unless someone else has another suggestion. If a few of us plan out the basics it should be pretty simple. Say you what?
Re: Next AN Night - October 26 '10 with Gary MontalbanoOnce again, Skynet for the brainstorm homerun.
I think donating prizes is a terrific idea--and I already have a few ideas for my contributions to the Prize basket! Can't wait to see how this whole thing will materialize.
Re: Next AN Night - October 26 '10 with Gary MontalbanoI wasn't implying that I'm the only extremely busy person. I'm sure we all are on some level, especially Charles. My only point was that there is no one to pick up my slack on AN so my work here is pretty much non-stop.
Good job Enoch. If we have prizes, that will give people more incentive to dress up or be more creative with costumes, so let's keep talking about that. Actually, I'm already wearing my costume. Too bad we couldn't also get some Halloween decorations donated that we could throw up around the Hall to make it more festive. Not sure how that would work.
Re: Next AN Night - October 26 '10 with Gary MontalbanoI'm not really busy. I just like to imply I am so I can get out of doing other stuff.
Re: Next AN Night - October 26 '10 with Gary MontalbanoComing up in less than a week, the next AN Night in Burbank with author and animation production designer par excellence Gary Montalbano.
The event is free and open to everyone. Stop by and have a good time with friends and colleagues and get a healthy dose of creative inspiration from Gary and company.
Re: Next AN Night - October 26 '10 with Gary MontalbanoSee ya there!
Re: Next AN Night - October 26 '10 with Gary MontalbanoHey also I wanted to give you heads up Charles and Snakebite. Saturday night I went to a meeting of the Graphic Artists Guild and meet some really cool people who are trying to get LA chapter meetings going. I invited them to tonights meeting, if they come I'll introduce them to you, maybe we could get some kind of cross promotion going between the two organizations.
Re: Next AN Night - October 26 '10 with Gary MontalbanoI'm all for it Paul. Anything we can do to assist the Graphic Artists Guild in any way.
AN Nights are a lot of fun and have become very popular. I always look forward to them, they're a good time and everyone grows from the experience. This evening with Gary will be an exceptional one. It's one thing to see the work of a great artist in animation, and it's a whole nuther level when they self-publish a beautiful comprehensive book of their art in both hardcover and softcover. And when the artist/author shares info about it so others can do the same, it makes everything even better. 2006 W. Magnolia in Burbank 91506. Doors open at 7, Gary will be on at around 7:45 to 8, pizzas will be there around 8:30 to 9 pm.
Re: Next AN Night - October 26 '10 with Gary MontalbanoAnother great AN Night. Man, what a run we've been having. Gary was a fantastic guest. We had another big crowd, with more industry veterans showing up than usual. There was a rep from Women In Animation there also. She commented to me about the size of the crowd we had. It surprises people when they see how many folks we have in attendance at any given AN Night.
Next one will be November 30. We don't know who our special guest will be at this time but as soon as we line em up we'll let you know. Many thanks to Gary Montalbano for joining us and to everyone who attended. I'm glad you all had a good time. Hope to see you again next month.
Re: Next AN Night - October 26 '10 with Gary MontalbanoYes at was an awesome night and thanks Charles and everyone else for the kind words about my trading card holder.
The girl that was at my table was on of the Reps for the Graphic Artists Guild and a teacher at Art Center. She said that she enjoyed the vibe last night and will probably keep coming to the guest speaker nights. I'll try to get more to come for the next one and I'll let you all know when she lets me know about their meetings.
Re: Next AN Night - October 26 '10 with Gary MontalbanoYes, that was a good interview. I especially liked the Spin Zone/Tonka/US Senate Hearings story, good stuff! And that trading card holder was pretty rad too.
Re: Next AN Night - October 26 '10 with Gary MontalbanoHappy to read things went off without a hitch!
Sorry I couldn't make it, for reasons that--for the first time--have nothing to do with the health of my parents! As a result of the tremendous demands my personal project has placed on my energy level, I just wasn't up to making the trip (like I usually am), but the trade-off is that I will ultimately be able to clue a few of you in on just what has been taking up so much of my time lately. I'm excited for that. Thanks Charles for understanding! See you soon, Bite! Hang tight Skynet!

By Dan Gould, Networx
In an ideal world, we would always be able to use the highest quality materials and appliances to make our homes the best they can be. Sometimes though, this idea of perfection can be taken too far, when additional features are just plain useless.
Hometalk member Teri of Raleigh, N.C., was wondering if she should go the extra mile and install an insulated garage door, replacing the existing standard model.
Dan's of Central Florida says that there is little point in spending the money on an insulated door unless the garage is heated/air conditioned. The better idea in this case would be to make sure the insulation around the garage walls and attic spaces is sufficient to keep the heat or cold from entering into the main living space.

St Patrick's Day is Ireland's day of pride, heritage and celebration
It's a national holiday that's celebrated in more countries than any other. It's the day that gets the whole world to think green and go green.
But if you really want to get a piece of the party, you've got to come to Ireland. Ireland on St Patrick's Day is unlike anywhere else in the world.
David Fallon, who blogged live from the leading parade bus during the St Patrick's Day Parade in Dublin, sums up the atmosphere:
"I remember an Irish wolfhound the size of a bungalow trotting in front of the tooting Boston bands, and youngsters peering over their parents' heads via makeshift ladders. Everyone in the crowd had two things in common – green gear and smiles.
"A Chicago DJ was right beside me and just blasting his excitement (live) down the phone," remembers David. "He was doing his best to have his voice heard over the big band. "This is incredible," he was saying, "the people, the music, the atmosphere! To see it live is everything, you should be here!"
"Then he leans over to call to the crowd "I don't have a hat!" Sure enough, green bonnets are thrown into his hands…Lucky he didn't ask for a pint!"

While 5.5 million pints of Guinness are consumed daily around the world, on St Patrick's Day that number rises to 13 million. This celebratory day actually evolved into a national holiday by chance. It was originally just like any other religious feast day, but it just happened to fall during Lent.
Lent meant abstaining from many personal indulgences, and St Patrick's Day in between gave everyone a little break. U2 front-man Bono explained it all during a televised St Patrick's Day Special on Channel 4 a few years ago: "The whole thing about Lent – as any Irishman will tell you – is that it stops on St Patrick's Day."
In Dublin, the run-up to St Patrick's day is an excuse for a four-day festival embracing everything from salsa dancing to céilís (traditional dances); while Derry-Londonderry's Seachtain na Gaeilge (Irish Language Week) is a lively and linguistic build-up to the big day, with events throughout the city. The oldest St Patrick's Day parade in Ireland is in County Wexford. It began in 1917 and is still going strong.
For the earliest, you'll need to head out west, to Dingle. They kick things off at 6am, with the Dingle Fife and Drum Band taking to streets.
Limerick uses St Patrick's Day to host the International Band Parade and Competition; while Cork blithely states that "Cork is THE place to be on St Patrick's Weekend". The city's festival incorporates a food and crafts market, as well as music, street performers and children's workshops.
County Armagh claims a strong connection to St Patrick and the island's strong Christian heritage. This is where the great man founded one of his churches, so it's only natural that they throw a week long festival in his honour. A candlelit singing performance in the cathedrals is a highlight in anyone's diary, along with its stunning daytime parade.
Every town and village will do something for St Patrick's Day. Just make sure you come to the source to experience it for yourself…

Clang/LLVM is BSD while GCC is GPL. That means Apple can extend them all they want without ever giving you, or their competition, any sources.
Phoronix: LLVM Offered Into The Software Freedom Conservancy
The LLVM project applied to be part of the Software Freedom Conservancy and the Conservancy's Project Evaluation Committee has approved of accepting the increasingly popular open-source compiler infrastructure...
Clang/LLVM is BSD while GCC is GPL. That means Apple can extend them all they want without ever giving you, or their competition, any sources.
@crazycheese And yet... its still a very competitive compiler on several fronts.
I don't know if I like the sound of this... I guess its ok as long as copy rigtt is not assigned to this conservancy (as it they could change the license to GPL etc...)
Its not that I dislike GPL its just that for many things it is not apropriate.
Which things?
I have nothing about LLVM, but the BSD license will allow Apple to take what it wants, tune it, add secret things to it, gain advantage while letting all stay with "base" version. BSD=Opencore. GPL=Opensource.
There was also interesting discussion over at gccplugins
It seems proprietary people are using patents and DRM to prevent using of their content anywhere.
Opensource people are again using patent shields and DRM (ways to prevent attaching, piping or embedding) to prevent using of their content in proprietary models.
And there are BSD people, who prevent nothing and thus instantly fall victims to proprietary sharks.

Please, no more license flame wars ... we all know all the arguments that will be flying along, and we all know how it will end up ... being just a show for the readers :S
The on-topic comment is that I'm highly surprised about this, I think I saw bkuhn bitching all over llvm on identi.ca ... but yeah, whatever
Apple and Google worked on getting this done. I recall talking to Chandler (head of Clang development at Google) about this a few months ago. This is something that all of the many, many companies involved with LLVM and Clang are on board with.
I vote for GPL, but LLVM can't go GPL. If remains BSD that will be good for all Open_Source, because a closed_games_company for example can program with C++ and compile with LLVM, that will be an instruction set independent build. So in the future we can print Open_Risc processors wile maintain compatibility with Closed_Source. Of course that doesn't mean that we will work for BSD shit. So if we produce an LLVM software rasterizer, that will be under GPL. And some day the GCC5 for example will be portable like LLVM, better and compatible with LLVM binaries.

As one of Pfister's most popular series, the Treviso collection of bathroom and kitchen faucets and fixtures is also one of its most complete. Italian-inspired design elements propel these fixtures to an elite level. Time-honored qualities like ornate lever handles and traditional-themed spouts give these fixtures a unique and distinct look and feel. The bathroom faucets include single- and double-handle control as well as centerset and widespread configurations, while tub and shower fixtures help complete the space.
