Little things that matter in language design
int add (int a, int b){ return (a + b); }
printf ("Result is %d\n", add (5, 6));
then I'd expect GCC to do what a human could, and optimise to: puts ("Result is 11\n");
Experimentally, GCC is optimising out the add() call entirely, but it isn't optimising the printf. Why one, not the other?

Well, for one thing, the definition of add() is visible in the same source file, while printf() is a library function which is only defined at runtime. For the optimization into puts(), the compiler is assuming you will link with a libc providing standards-compliant printf() and puts() functions.
I'd prefer a proper preprocessor capable of performing this sort of optimization, rather than hard-coding functions like printf() into the compiler. Common Lisp macros can work this way; Calls to (format) which are decipherable at compile-time can be reduced by a macro into a series of low-level output routines, skipping the format string entirely. Unfortunately, for that you need conditionals and loops or recursion; the C preprocessor isn't up to the task. One could possibly do something similar with C++ templates, which are apparently Turing-complete, but it would require more boredom and/or masochism than I'm ever likely to experience.

Runtime linking is a wonderful thing, that reduces the size of code, and allows for shared libraries without dependency hell. But I still contend that if I ask the compiler to do -O3, then it should be able to apply the combined results of thousands of man-years of experience to generate better code than I could. So, in this instance, why not have gcc inline the printf() function, and then optimise it.

Sorry, but no. When human spends a week or month to generate code this is accepted. When compiler spends measly 1.5 hours people are becoming mightly antsy.
So, in this instance, why not have gcc inline the printf() function, and then optimise it.
Try to take a look on printf implementation one of these days. That's... quite an experience. Computed gotos and function pointers, bazillion tables and locales, I'm not sure even human can optimize it to a single string. No, I take it back: I know human can't do that because it's not possible. Output of %d depends on locale!
Compiler is clever beast, but there are limits for what it can do.
Posted May 24, 2012 20:49 UTC (Thu) by Richard_J_Neill (subscriber, #23093) [Link]
In fact, the preprocessor can do it (via stringify), but that requires significant extra work for the programmer.
[Of course, your point about locales may explain why this doesn't happen... I might never care about my program being run in locations with a different decimal format, nor wish to sacrifice performance for that, but it means that the presumed-deterministic output of printf() is actually dependent on the environment variables.]

IMHO C++ pushes a lot of things from the .data section (i.e. initialised variables/structures) into runtime execution/initialisation (object constructors), when compared to C. Moreover some obvious optimisations cannot be done because objects "constant during execution" are still not initialised at compilation time, so compiler cannot do anything about them. It is as if we would need another step in producing an executable, after linker stage we would run all object constructors which are independant of any input, and copy the resulting memory dump into the ELF file. Note that my last sentense involves so much complexity that I sometimes better like C, like on this software where I have a grand total of 96 Kbytes for everything, on a 32 bits processor...

IMHO C++ pushes a lot of things from the .data section (i.e. initialised variables/structures) into runtime execution/initialisation (object constructors), when compared to C.
C++ allows you to initialize globals in more ways than C, and those things might need dynamic initialization, but they are things that must also be dynamically initialized in C. Unless you know some way to statically execute an object's constructor in C that can't be done in C++?
Moreover some obvious optimisations cannot be done because objects "constant during execution" are still not initialised at compilation time, so compiler cannot do anything about them.
Have you looked at the C++11 keyword constexpr? It's specifically designed to allow such initialization.
struct Data { constexpr Data(int i, int j) : i(i), j(j) { } int i; int j; }; constexpr Data data(1, 2); // statically initialized
Posted May 28, 2012 15:56 UTC (Mon) by etienne (subscriber, #25256) [Link]
I do agree that given the same source, you get the same thing in .data. But when I read other people source code, because they work and think in C++, they will use classes instead of structure/base-types for the most basic things, and define virtual desctructors just in case they need it at a later time, and work with "auto ptr" to manage the list of 80000 parameters in a sorted collection. I know the C way to manage the parameter "loglevel" as an unsigned integer for debug and as a constant for costumer versions is not as flexible as the C++ way, that because the user is not using a "setter" checking for min/max values he may write incorrect values there, but sometimes I am thinking simpler is better (mostly for such debug parameter). In short I am not thinking the problem is in the toolchain, but in the mentality of using features just because they exists, of generalising small problems until nothing is constant anymore. For instance writing the line (without even the const keyword) inside or outside a class: unsigned int bits_per_byte = 8;
That was my humble opinion, I know there is some clever ways those things can be sorted in C++, I have no hope to see this 60 Mbytes source code software cleaned or booting quicker (because everything is constructed at boot).

Beware of silver bullets.
Posted May 25, 2012 11:50 UTC (Fri) by gioele (subscriber, #61675) [Link]
Except that it is still possible in most cases. For example the JRuby JIT + Java JIT will optimise various paths and functions and keep these optimised versions around until the "environment" changes. In that case it stops the world, throws away the old compiled units and create new ones taking into account the current situation. In practical terms this means that using `eval` works flawlessly but kills your performance.

It is relatively easy for GCC and glibc to come up with a new extension. This extension would allow the compiler to cleanly detect whenever it is compiling code that eventually executes in a standard run-time environment.
All we need is a new function attribute to annotate the declaration of the printf() function. For example:
extern int printf(const char * restrict format, ...) __attribute__((__format__(__printf__, 1, 2), __runtime_function__(__printf__)));
I do not believe, this is how it is done today. But it would be easy to add to both GCC and glibc. It would allow the compiler to do optimizations, whenever it finds a suitable function declaration in <stdio.h>. But if it builds for a non-standard run-time environment, it would automatically skip doing these optimizations.
Of course, that raises the question whether it should ever try to do these optimizations in the first place. And arguably, the answer is more difficult than a simple "yes" or "no".
For example, it is quite common to have code that uses the same format string multiple times just with different arguments. If GCC always expanded the arguments, it would lose the ability to coalesce the identical format strings. For some programs, the extra space requirements in the .data segment could very well be more painful than the minute cost of computing the output at run-time. In fact, I have a hard time envisioning any program where the cost of printf() is noticeable at all.
Posted May 24, 2012 23:32 UTC (Thu) by Richard_J_Neill (subscriber, #23093) [Link]
I have one. I'm doing data-capture and pre-processing on a relatively slow system (mini-itx, to keep the heat down so as not to cause optical turbulence in the lab). We acquire data at about 1 MHz on 4 channels, and need to do some simple preprocessing (offset and scale) then save to file. The file is a 4-column text-file as asciihex eg "0x1234 0x4567 0x3432 0x6666\n", i.e format string is "0x%x\t0x%x\t0x%x\t0x%x\n". So the printf cost is definitely not negligible, when we call it 1 million times a second.
(Yes, we could optimise further and keep the data in raw binary form, but it's not strictly necessary yet, would prevent us adding headers, and would make for a non-human-friendly file format. But I'd certainly welcome a fast printf for the simple cases)
Posted May 25, 2012 11:13 UTC (Fri) by dgm (subscriber, #49227) [Link]
The think is, the solution in this case is simply to write your own formating function. It's really simple, much simpler than the kind of optimizations you were asking for.
An example:
char * to_hex(unsigned v){ static char digits[16] = "0123456789ABCDEF"; static char buffer[8]; /* assuming 32 bits */ int i; for (i = 7; i >= 0; i--) { buffer[i] = digits[v & 0xF]; v >>= 4; } return buffer; }

Posted Jul 3, 2012 3:32 UTC (Tue) by Richard_J_Neill (subscriber, #23093) [Link]
So for example, I want to write:
#define OSC_MHZ 25 #define CLOCK_NS (1000/OSC_MHZ) #define STRINGIGFY(s) STRINGIFY2(s) #define STRINGIFY2(s) #s
Serial.print ("Clock period is " STRINGIFY(CLOCK_NS) "ns\n");
...which should print: "Clock period is 40 ns\n" but actually prints: "Clock period is (1000/25 ns\n")
This sort of thing can't be done in the preprocessor and it's too expensive to do at runtime. The only workaround seems to be to actually manually: #define CLOCK_NS_STR "40" which is a bug just waiting to happen.
Posted May 25, 2012 13:34 UTC (Fri) by vonbrand (subscriber, #4458) [Link]
It is almost exactly how gcc handles printf-like functions... from the gcc info: extern int my_printf(void *my_object, const char *my_format, ...) __attribute__((format(printf, 2, 3))); tells the compiler this function is printf-like. You can also use the attribute const on a function to express that it only uses the values of the arguments to compute its return value, so the compiler knows it can stash away the value and not recompute it.
extern int my_printf(void *my_object, const char *my_format, ...) __attribute__((format(printf, 2, 3)));
So yes, the compiler is pretty smart, and the relevant C standard also says that standard functions can't be just overriden by the user. That is how printf("Hello, world!\n"); gets replaced (legally) by puts("Hello, world!\n");. Sure, there are lots of other changes the compiler might legally make, but at some point the extra cost in compiling outweighs the benefits; and some "optimizations" might on average turn out costlier in runtime than just leaving the code as is. As for the next suggestion, "leave it to the programmer via some attribute/special pragma," it has been shown time and again (Jon Bentley's "Writing efficient programs," sadly out of print, has some delightful stories) that programmers are terrible at predicting how to optimize code.
printf("Hello, world!\n");
puts("Hello, world!\n");
Posted May 25, 2012 13:56 UTC (Fri) by jwakely (subscriber, #60262) [Link]
If performance actually matters (and isn't a pointless microbenchmark) then I'd expect the human to write puts("11") in the first place instead of printf("%d\n", add(5, 6))

Longboat Key Fire Rescue responded to a report of a house fire at 6430 Gulfside Road 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 5.
The home, which was rented by a couple and their three-year-old daughter, was engulfed in black smoke upon arrival. Fire Rescue teams had to vent the roof to help put out the fire. No injuries were reported. The inside of the home was engulfed in flames and is no longer habitable, according to Building Official Wayne Thorne. Damage estimates and the cause of the fire, which is believed to have started in the kitchen, are unknown at this time.
Fire Rescue Chief Paul Dezzi said the family of three was not at the home at the time of the fire, although the family's dog, an Australian Rottweiler, passed away inside. Dezzi said it was Longboat Key's first fire since a Westchester Condominiums fire in July 2011.
The fire was under control in 20 minutes. Both Longboat Key Fire Rescue stations responded to the call, as well as two West Manatee Fire District crews and one Sarasota County Fire Department crew. Traffic is still backed up in both directions on Gulf of Mexico Drive as crews work to clean up and assess the structure.

With performances from the biggest stars in music and an attendance sheet that boasts the who's who of Hollywood, this Thursday's presentation of the 2012 MTV VMAs will surely produced a number of its own OMG moments. The MTV VMAs have a history of giving fans some of the most exciting performances in music and some of the most unforgettable moments in pop culture.
Today we're counting down the Top 5 OMG Moments from the MTV VMAs. Don't miss out on any of this year's OMG moments when the red carpet presentation of the MTV VMAs begins at 7 pm ET tomorrow on MUCH, followed by the 2012 MTV VMAs at 8 pm ET.
5. Beyonce Announces Pregnancy
During her performance at the 2011 MTV VMAs, Beyonce kept her love on top and in front. After years of keeping her relationship with husband Jay-Z under a tight veil of privacy, Beyonce let the world in on her exciting news when she finished her performance by dropping the mic and unbuttoning her jacket to reveal her pregnant stomach. The surprising reveal of the pregnancy was almost trumped by how much fun Jay-Z and Uncle Kanye had on camera after the awards show.
4. Britney's Comeback Gives Less
In a case of too much too soon, Britney Spears was set to make a triumphant comeback at the 2007 VMAs. Unfortunately, the comeback turned out to be anything but, instead making the once reigning princess of pop the joke of the awards show after her zombie-like performance failed to impress. Fans wondered whether this was the end of the road for Spears, who thankfully took more time out of the spotlight and has since reemerged to complete a successful world tour. Spears will be appearing as a judge on this season of The X Factor.
3. Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Kiss
At the 1994 VMAs, newlyweds Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley shocked audiences when they appeared together on stage and kissed, after Jackson declared "And just think, nobody thought this would last." Unfortunately, the marriage didn't last and the two divorced shortly after the appearance.
2. Madonna Seals Her Performance With a Kiss(es)
Madonna continued her tradition of making a statement at the VMAs along with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera when the three performed together during the 2003 VMAs and shared a kiss on stage. Easily one of the best parts of the performance was watching the crowd's reaction. I really miss Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.
1. Kanye West Doesn't Let Taylor Swift Finish
In what has gone down as one of the most cringe-inducing moments in awards show history, Kanye West jumped on stage during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for Best Female Video during the 2009 MTV VMAs to declare that Beyonce's Single Ladies was one of the best videos of all time. Swift got a chance to give her speech later in the night when Beyonce won for Best Video of the Year and West received an onslaught of negative attention, even from President Obama, following the show.

Hot water extraction, also known as "steam cleaning" is a common method used for cleaning carpets, upholstery, and most surfaces around your home. It also happens to be the most effective in deep cleaning. "Steam cleaning" is a generally misleading term, since the process doesn't actually involve the use of steam to clean surfaces. "Hot water extraction" is the more accurate term because the process actually involves two stages. First, the machine spews hot soapy solution to take out all the grime and filth from all sorts of materials and surfaces. Then it retrieves back the excess water together with the dirt that the mixture previously dislodged. While hot water extraction is a process more commonly used in cleaning carpets, this process can also be employed in cleaning various materials, such as bricks, bathroom tiles, and even jewelry. What makes the latter method different is simply the kind of hot water extraction equipment used in cleaning the objects.
When it comes to cleaning carpets, hot water extraction helps to dislodge filth and grime that have collected within the fibers. As previously mentioned, this involves two stages. In the first stage, the machine combines hot water and a cleaning agent to make a solution. Then this solution is released through high-pressure jets which the carpet fibers easily absorb. This loosens all kinds of dirt that are attached deep within the carpet. In the second stage, the cleaner then vacuums the solution—excess water and dirt—back into a receptacle to be disposed later on. Once this process is done, you will have a very clean carpet that will dry out in a few hours.
Hot water extraction machines use either internal or external heaters to make hot water. Hot water is especially effective in cleaning because it breaks down dirt, grease, debris, and all sorts of residue, not to mention kill various types of bacteria, resulting in "deep cleaning." You can never underestimate the power of hot water extraction when it comes to cleaning your carpet, furniture, bathroom, etc. It's important to note that most carpet manufacturers recommend hot water extraction as the preferred method for cleaning carpets since it is the most efficient in removing all kinds of grime and dirt. Also, since machines used for hot water extraction employ vacuums, lesser residue is left behind, as compared to other carpet cleaning methods.
One of the downsides to hot water extraction, however, is that drying out your carpet might take a little while, 8 hours at most. But you'll notice that as your carpet dries out, it will look more fresh and brand new since the smaller fibers become more prominent. Because of the advantages of cleaning your carpet, it is recommended that you do this as least once or twice a year.

Fashion veteran Diane von Furstenberg arrived fresh on the NYC fashion scene in 1970, armed with a friendship with Vogue editor Diana Vreeland and 12 shirtdresses she'd made in Italy. By 1976, von Furstenberg had already gained renown in the fashion sphere with the invention of her iconic wrap dress. With vintage-inspired prints and feminine silhouettes, every DVF design is built to flatter the woman who wears it: a philosophy that has become von Furstenberg's legacy and her gift to the women of the world.

Too big, not really a clutch
It looked very pretty on the web site. But it is actually really big. And the pink bit looks a bit cheap. Had to return it.

Much Larger than Expected
Love the look of the bag but it is way too big to carry on a night out. It is abnormally large so I returned it.

Comments about EXOFFICIO Bugsaway Paisley Bandana:
I loved my bug-off bandana so much I bought 2 for the girls I know that go camping in upstate NY with their family. Wish they had more girly colors, but the camo is neutral and their hunting dad will love them as well. Any advantage over the biting insects that can ruin your fun is on my list.

Comments about EXOFFICIO Bugsaway Paisley Bandana:
I purchased this for myself, but found I ended up
putting it around our Westie's neck. Molly has a tendency to like to get under bushes and she is 13 years old now. So the fact that it keeps some of the fleas and ticks off her is a plus. She sometimes gets it off, but overall she is a real cutie when she has it on. Especially like her with the blue color.

James Neil Boyle: "BSWCA"
As it happens, I know just a little - Boyle is listed in Walt Reed's "Illustrator in America, 1860-2000" and I had posted what I knew (not much) about Neil Boyle way back in January, 2006.
But shortly after my reply, Daniel sent a second message - surprise, surprise - he found a Neil Boyle website, complete with a gallery of Boyle's work, a biography and a photo of the artist!
I've been setting aside all the Neil Boyle artwork I've stumbled across hoping that the day would come when I had more information to present it with, and it seems that day has come. Below, two pieces by Boyle from the May 1964 issue of Cosmopolitan.
So why the acronym, "BSWCA" in the title of today's post? Seems Neil Boyle had a sense of humour as well as a flair for illustration.
From the bio on his website:
"When Neil first became interested in being a "fine artist" he noticed that the others all had some sort of initials after their signatures. So he made up his own. BSWCA is an acronym for Big Shot West Coast Artist."
This week, a look at some gems by this very talented "Big Shot West Coast Artist", James Neil Boyle.
* Many thanks to Daniel Zalkus for sharing the scan at the top of today's post - and for his detective work in locating Boyle's website!

I could be wrong, but in the two pieces that you posted above do you see similarities to Harvey Schmidts work?
He was another illustrator who worked during that time. Unfortunately I don't know much about him either. - 11:19 AM
- Leif Peng said...
Daniel; I actually have an article from American Artist on Schmidt so I have seen a few examples of his work and I see what you mean. Actually, I can even see some connection in Boyle's style to Marvin Friedman's stuff... even to Robert Weaver! I think Boyle and many others were exploring a new direction here and in his case, its perhaps a little more ( I almost hate to use the term "commercial" but... ) "commercial" - looking than it is in some others.
- Walter W said...
There's a huge collection of Neil's paintings at Molly Malone's Pub on 6th and Fairfax here in Los Angeles. It's worth a visit.
- Leif Peng said...
Really? I wish I'd known that a year ago when i was in L.A. for the Reubens. But still, that's great to hear - thanks Walter :^)
- E.M. Gist said...
Leif- Great post, Mr. Boyle also taught at Fred Fixler's California Art Institute in Los Angles (Calabasas/Thousand Oaks) later in his career. I know my teacher Jeff Watts studied with him, I don't know about any of the other Fixler students i.e. Glen Orbik, Morgan Weistling, Greg Pro etc.

"The difference between illustration and fine art - is a frame." - Neil Boyle.
I had the great good fortune to take a couple of workshops with Neil when he taught at Scottsdale and Los Angeles. He was the one of the greatest characters I ever met, and one of the most fearless painters - and teachers - I ever saw.
Neil was a genius at composition - for one demonstration he seemed to select a couple of reference photos at random, and in a half hour composed a multi-figure barroom scene, which he then painted in an afternoon - alternating fantastic insights into drawing and painting with hysterical anecdotes from his career the whole time. It was fantastic. There is a terrific series of videos on youtube of another demonstration by Neil, including his pithy comments on both illustration and fine art from a man who had long and successful careers at both.

Interesting - thanks for the additional info, E.M. :^)
- Leif Peng said...
Wow, thanks Steven - the contributions from commenters today is blowing my mind. Wonderful!
- Micah Champion said...
Ha! I love the BSWCA. I don't know much about Mr. Boyle, but that acronym would endear me to him even if I didn't enjoy looking at his work so much.
I work with some many credentialed professionals I feel I might need something akin to it.
Thanks so much for the post. - 1:54 PM

Here are some videos of Neil painting with comments.

Does that mean a post about Harvey Schmidt might not be far behind? - 9:25 PM
- Maxine Spurgin said...
I have two large original oil paintings by James Neil Boyle signed with BSWCA. Western motif. My boss is looking to sell them. THey are valued at approx $5000 + each. Do you know how to find an interested buyer? Price is negotiable.

Current FeaturesNew Acquisition: Emilio Sanchez Emilio Sanchez was born into one of Cuba's most prominent families but lived in Cuba for only a short time. Although he said "I've always been a terrible Cuban," his interest in the light and color of the Caribbean comes from his early connection with that region. Before he settled permanently in New York in 1952, he studied architecture at the University of Virginia, demonstrating an interest in buildings, the subject of many of his paintings. At the time he painted La Fortaleza, Sanchez, who traveled extensively, was often in the Mediterranean, and it is there he found the inspiration for this image of a fortress, likely in Morocco.>> The potential impact might not be so farfetched: In a matter of several years, Google Art Project could have the type of effect on the international art museum world and cultural literacy comparable to what "googling" has meant for Internet searchers – a greater access to information and broader understanding of the connection among cultures.>> New Acquisition: Caspar Netscher In 2011, the Museum of Art received the gift of an important panel painting by the Dutch painter Caspar Netscher (born Germany, 1639? 1684). This very fine work is an important addition to UMMA's holdings in Dutch painting and represents a genre not already present in the collections-the subject of music making in a domestic interior. Beginning around 1650, scenes of low-life pastimes, such as drinking and dancing in taverns, were replaced by more affluent and refined interior scenes; Netscher's The Music Lesson reflects that transition. >>
In October, UMMA sent out a call for participation to all filmmakers, artists, writers, photographers, storytellers and arts enthusiasts interested in making a movie with the Museum. UMMA invited 12-16 individuals to create 2-3 minute videos in response to works of art in our collection to be made available to the public next spring in our galleries and on the DialogTable, UMMA's award-winning interactive storytelling and social learning tool.
>> Paths to Renewal: Teaching, Leading and Healing through the Arts This year the Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center at the University of
Michigan celebrates its twenty-fifth anniversary. Director Holly Rider-Milkovich
approached UMMA to collaborate in bringing to life the messages of teaching,
leading, and healing at the core of SAPAC's mission. The result will be a small online
exhibition of works in UMMA's collection-selected by UMMA's student docents-
that invites reflection on and conversation about these themes.>> In Focus: New Albers Acquisition
To open eyes: this was the stated goal of Josef Albers in his teaching and his art. His particular interest
was opening our eyes to the interactions of color. In art he produced from the 1930s through the 1970s,
Albers used specific constellations of forms-nested squares or, as here, an array of rectangles-
executed in an infinite combination of colors to demonstrate how colors advance, recede, and bend when
juxtaposed in different ways.
A conversation between UMMA Director Joe Rosa and philanthropist, collector, and UMMA lead benefactor Maxine Frankel on the occasion of the Museum's special exhibition Mark di Suvero: Tabletops, on view through February 26, 2012, which features works from the Maxine and Stuart Frankel Foundation for Art.
One afternoon early this winter, visitors at UMMA could hear a tour group softly singing, their voices trailing from the balcony near the Joan and Bob Tisch Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art. Led by UMMA docents in front of Sol Le Witt's series of aquatints, Stars, the activity was one of the unique approaches that docents have developed to engage Museum visitors who are living with dementia.
Come to UMMA on a Friday afternoon and you may find a UM student leading a tour in the galleries. This is not a student working on a class project, but a member of UMMA's volunteer Student Docent Program. In addition to leading "Lunchtime Tours" and "Storytime at the Museum" events for children on the weekends, student docents have the opportunity to deeply engage with the art and the Museum in a variety of ways.
>> In Focus: UMMA's Tiffany collection With UMMA's expanded ability to showcase its until now largely hidden array of Tiffany objects, Ann Arbor has become one of three must-see sights-in addition to the Metropolitan Museum in New York and the Morse Museum in Florida-on any Tiffany pilgrimage. As a worldwide brand, Tiffany conjures images of luxury, status, and quality. Tiffany & Co. was founded in New York in 1837 by Charles Tiffany, as a purveyor of stationary, jewelry, and other "fancy goods." His son, Louis Comfort Tiffany, embarked on a career as an artist at age 18, and though he began as a painter, Tiffany turned to the decorative arts at the suggestion of a silver designer at Tiffany & Co. It's been said that Tiffany's glasswork reflects his early expressive watercolors. >> |

I guess I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. As I was going through the dashboard, I ran across the post that irritated the piss out of me. Since I comment and it pissed her off and I got blocked…thats ok I can still do the old copy and paste, tags and content source. What was it that got my goat?
So, I don't know how I'm going to pay my bills this month.
It's my last semester of college ever and I haven't have any time to work because school is so much. Bills are due right now and I have about half as much money in my bank account as I owe to the utilities companies. I'm going on a week-long networking trip soon and I don't know how I'm going to eat while I'm there, and I definitely won't have the business cards and the portfolio and the brow wax I need to look like a real human being who deserves a job. Paypal donations, guys? Paypal.com "Send Money" tab firstname.lastname@example.com Any little bit helps. I don't know what to offer in return though… What do you suggest? The first thing that comes to mind is whore…prostitute. Wonder if it was the moral part of the applications for law school she failed. She goes on and on about don't send me this or that and now the bitch wants money to pay for a week-long networking trip. Its a damn vacation. Post a damn resume on the internet like everyone else. The sad part is there are moron males who think they can get somewhere with her and will send money.

Pontiac event to align homeowners with delinquent tax relief program
For homeowners who owe delinquent property taxes: help is available.
Michigan has received $205 million from the federal government for the Step Forward Michigan Loan Rescue Program, which provides eligible homeowners with as much as $30,000 in delinquent property tax relief, said Oakland County Treasurer Andy Meisner.
"It's a significant problem," Meisner said.
"My office works out monthly payment plans with homeowners to make sure they don't lose their home to tax foreclosure, but there are times when the bank walks away from the property, or someone abandons the property, and we had about 1,600 tax foreclosures across Oakland County last year, and some portion of those were residential," he said.
"We have a lot of people with delinquent taxes, and a lot of people who have experienced hardships, and those are the two major requirements of the program."
Representatives from Meisner's office will be at Welcome Missionary Baptist Church in Pontiac on Wednesday at an event that's designed to align Oakland County homeowners with assistance with delinquent property taxes, weatherization, home improvement loans and straightening out their home's paperwork.
"With the economic conditions that the city and the residents are facing, this gives us an opportunity to clear a path for future stability," said Pastor Douglas Jones.
"It's going to help people ward off foreclosure, and it's going to help people stay in their homes. That's really what it's going to do," Jones said.
Representatives from the Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency will be at Wednesday's event to sign eligible homeowners up for weatherization assistance, and representatives from the Oakland County Home Improvement Loan Program will speak with homeowners about loans of up to $20,000 that are available for upgrading owner-occupied homes.
The home improvement loans don't have to be paid back until the house is sold and do not accrue interest, Jones said. Continued...
The event will "almost like a one-stop shop to help you get what you can get," the pastor said.
The county treasurer said that when people inherit a home, they often don't have it transferred into their name.
"That's going to prevent them for applying (for help) successfully, and so we brought in the University of Detroit Mercy Legal Aid Clinic, and we have law students and attorneys to help them in getting the property into their name so they can then apply for the program," Meisner said.
"I am trying to knock down any potential barrier to people getting this money, preemptively."
Financial information, including tax returns, bank statements, pay stubs and a household budget, will be needed when applying for the loan rescue program, Meisner said.
"We're going to have certified housing counselors who are available to assist them in getting that information together," he said.
"They should come no matter what, but that's the information they're going to need, so if they can bring those things, that's much better."
Whether or not a homeowner applies for the Step Forward Michigan Loan Rescue program, they should work out a payment plan with the county treasurer's office for delinquent taxes, Meisner said.
"That's the only way to guarantee that you don't lose the property, so we want people to work out a payment plan first, and then we'll help them apply for the loan rescue program, but the loan rescue program is no guarantee," he said.
"This same pot of money can be used for either mortgage foreclosure or tax foreclosure. When they apply, they'll be asked for information about that, as well. If somebody has missed mortgage payments and has delinquent taxes, this program has funds available to help both." Continued...
Pastor Jones said that in a tough economy, the program could provide needed relief.
"For some people, this is going to be a fresh start."

Upright Citizens Brigade Improvisation and Sketch Comedy Training Center
(7594) Sketch 101 Mondays 11:30am-2:30pm Geoff Garlock
Sketch 101: Sketch Comedy Writing
- Scheduled
- Mondays 11:30am-2:30pm
- Start Date
- Mon September 17, 2012, 11:30am EDT
- Price
- $350.00
This course is an introduction to the UCB philosophy on sketch comedy, specifically using "the game" to write short comedic scenes. Each week students will engage in writing exercises that will explore different sketch formats. Students will be exposed to different methods for turning funny ideas into even funnier written sketches. Students will leave the class with an understanding of popular sketch formats and a portfolio of writing.
No prior sketch writing experience is necessary -- the only requirement for this class is a desire to write and learn. Students should be prepared to work outside of class, preparing sketches for presentation in every class. Students will be required to see two live sketch shows before the end of the course.
Class Size: 12 Students
Geoff Garlock, Teacher
Geoff is currently a sketch writer on the UCBT Maude team Slow Burn. Geoff was also a writer on the Maude teams The Skuntz and one of the original Maude Teams, iBadger. Geoff also wrote and performed in the horror based sketch show "I LAUGHED UNTIL I DIED" which had a succesful run at the UCB Theatre. Geoff is also a panelist on the montly music roundtable discussion show, Break Up Your Band, where he plays the part of old, cranky curmudgeon.
Geoff is also a member of the sketch duo Strachlock, along with Emily Strachan. Emily and Geoff were both writers on the Maude team Slow Burn and soon started writing writing sketch together, in order to harness their shared insanity. Soon enough they realized this insanity must be made into a full on nutzo fest of a show called "Gettin' Quaid" which is currently running at the UCB Theatre. Get ready world...get ready.
When Geoff is not making the funny he is usually creating brutality in music form. Geoff Garlock played bass in the hardcore band Orchid and Vice Recording artists Panthers. He currently plays guitar in the metal band Dark Vibe and bass in the grindcore band The Year is One, continuing to alienate the world through music.
When you lay out Geoff's life, it looks pretty good. Even though most days he feels like a glorified hobo

text: Music beyond Boundaries Music is like the doorway to our souls. It helps us connect to our inner voice and to the external world as well. Music has the power to heal, to cheer you up, or to just help relax after a hard day's work. Ever imagined what would have happened to us without the music in our lives! The best part is that we have so much to choose from. There is something for everyone and for every mood - pop, rock, country, blues, reggae, jazz, oldies, lounge, the list is arguably endless. The question is how one chooses between the mind boggling arrays on offer! Thankfully, modern day technology has made it a lot easier for us to find exactly what we like and are in the mood for. Music, as it is now, has evolved quite a lot from what it was in earlier times, especially in terms of the package it comes in. Now we have dedicated websites, blogs and entire television channels that deal with everything relating to music. Discovering and accessing your kind of music is easy these days, thanks to the myriad avenues and options that the electronic and online media has thrown open to the music enthusiasts. Ranging from Music News, Audio Albums, Video Albums to latest Music reviews, Artist biography for your favorite artists, they have it all. No matter whether you are looking for the latest Music News or the Music reviews for a specific song, or perhaps the new video album that is the rage of the town, you are almost sure to find what are looking for, with a little help from the thousands of sites that are dedicated to reviews and commentary on all the different genres and sub-genres of music. You will be able to read on what other music lovers have to say about the new audio album from your favorite artist. Latest Music News will help you keep track of what's in or what the pundits have to say about a new artist who is making waves. With the large number of web pages dedicated to music and its paraphernalia, it can get a little confusing to figure out where to begin the search for what you are looking for. However, with the right keyword, this shouldn't prove to be too difficult and within seconds you will probably have more resources than you can handle. Say if you are looking up a new band or artist, you may want to learn more about the Artist biography or their latest audio album. A good Music review of the album will also tell you about the band and their style. The website may also have links or samples for the songs that you can just plug into and see if it fits your groove. If you like what you sample, you may want to go ahead and buy the album. Then again, many a time it so happens that you chance upon a video album that catches your fancy and it makes you want to find out more about the artist or the audio album. All you need to do is search with the artist's name or the title of the song and you will have all the required information and links within a few seconds. If you are a huge fan of a particular artist, you may want to be a member of their online fan page or club where you can get loads of information about them. The Artist biography, tidbits about their personal lives, glimpses of their upcoming Video Albums, recordings of rare live performances, you name it and they will have it. When you are planning to throw a party at your place and want to impress your friends with music that features the current chartbusters, you can always consult latest Music News to help you prepare a playlist. The music is an important factor in setting the mood of your party. If you are planning a cosy party with a few close friends, you may want to play lounge music and for a more funky set up you may play music that gets them swaying to the groove or shake a leg with the thump. With a little help from Music reviews, it will not be a difficult task to select the numbers that fits perfectly and soon you will have your friends swaying with the groove or shaking a leg with the thump, depending on the mood. If you are a professional dealing with the world of music then also these websites and blogs may help you with a lot of resources. A music critic for instance needs to be informed about the latest Music News, trends and what other critics world over are talking about. Say if a very popular band or artist is launching a song from their upcoming audio album or a video album of their latest hit song, you as a professional would want to be updated about how much of a buzz it is creating, whether or not it is rising up the charts, when the artist or band are planning a tour to promote the album and such information. These websites and online forums/blogs will come in handy to keep you clued into all that and more. To sum it up, these days we are spoilt for choice when it comes to getting hold of the music we love and also exploring new genres. Whether one is turning to music for personal or professional reasons, the possibilities and options are endless. Never has it been so easy to access music from all over the world and discover fresh delights in the form of a new genre, form, artist or band. Music, they say, transcends boundaries and it is literally the case today. So, just click on the search button for your favourite audio album or video album, sit back and enjoy. The world of music is now all yours to explore, enjoy and dissolve in.

Mad Catz Fender Precision Bass and Overdrive Pedal Review
You're chilling in your living room with three buddies preparing to play some Rock Band 2 when it suddenly hits you: someone will have to play bass.

Ok, so I live in Alabama, please dont hold that against me!
But we have some of the goofy-est beer and alcohol laws of any state Ive ever seen. Needless to say, the Heiniken cans that are barrel shaped are not (allowed to be) sold here.
Can anyone in the adjoining states (GA, TN, MS, FL) advise if these are available there? I travel enough that I would be able to get to any of these fairly regularly.
OR!!! (even better!) Did anyone buy a 6 pack of these Heini cans and not need all of them, and would be willing to ship to AL? Im not really a Heini drinker, so the beer might go to waste if I had to buy it... I cant let that happen!!

There is a girl that I have had classes with and always talks to me whenever I see her. She always seems to go out of her way and tell me that I look nice. A bunch of people have said to me that they think she likes me. She has always wanted to work with me on group projects and things like that. The only problem is I think she has a boyfriend but he doesnt go to our school her facebook says she does. I would like to ask her to go out or hang out with me but I dont know how to handle the boyfriend thing. Should I ask her? If so how should I approach it she is a really nice girl and I dont have many friends on campus anyway so im kind of lonely. But Could I ask her to come over to my house or go to a bar or something?
"Duh", you and I have an article listed in the Index, did you know that? :confused:
DATING--The Art and Science of Asking and Doing
It is from November 2008! and you are still asking pretty much the same questions.
> A bunch of people have said to me that they think she likes me. She has always wanted to work with me on group projects and things like that. The only problem is I think she has a boyfriend but he doesnt go to our school
I stated over and over that communication is one of the keys to a great relationship. No one is a mind reader, and, being guys, we need lots of "dots" very close together and connected to each other.......
As I see it, you have a couple of options:
1) Walk up to her, chit chat a bit about nothing important, then look her in the eye, smile, and tell her you would (really) like to ask her out and would Friday night be OK, or would Saturday (fill in the appropriate days) be better.
If she happens to be busy, yet would like to go on a date, it is her responsibility to say so and ask for an alternative date and/or time. She may not know to do this, so listen to her reply and go from there.**
2) You can casually ask if she has a boyfriend. Her reply will indicate what to say and do next.
Should she ask you why the question, tell her it is because you would like to ask her out.
** If she accepts your invitation, pick a time and ask if this is OK. Or, you can give her two times and ask if 7:00 is OK or would 7:30 be better (you fill in the times).
As for where to go and what to do, if you already have an idea of her interests, then pick one. If not, you can ask, or, simply ask if she would like to go do thus and such (you pick). If it is a movie, ask if she likes 'a' or 'b'.
You can also be sneaky (read: curious) and before ever asking her on a date, ask what her interests are or what movies she likes as a part of casual conversation.
> I would like to ask her to go out or hang out with me but I dont know how to handle the boyfriend thing.
As for #1, there is no boyfriend as far as you know until she informs you of one. Using "Implied Consent", [COLOR="green">ASK HER OUT[/COLOR], and see what she says.
> Should I ask her?
If you were reading this and wanting to reply, what would your recommendation be?
Mine is this: "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."
> Could I ask her to come over to my house or go to a bar or something?
Or something. Save the invite to your house until much later. Bar? Na; tacky, noisy, not a good image of you or a setting to get to know her better.
If you do not know any of her interests, and have not asked, then ask if she is interested in doing 'a' or 'b' with you. If she is interested in going out with you yet does not have an interest in either, use the opportunity to inquire about what she likes and what she has not done in a while--then do that.
If your planned activity includes lunch/dinner, or, a desert after the event, ask what type of food she likes and plan your restaurant or cafe around that. You could also state that you are thinking about 'x' restaurant and is this acceptable with her. As for desert, inform her that you are thing about 'y' cafe or 'z' ice cream parlor....
> I would like to ask her to go out or hang out with me but
"Hang out" may be what you want, yet the term loosely means that you want to spend time with her doing nothing. This is not a good approach. First, the point is to participate in doing some activity together and having fun all the while learning something about each other; second, "doing nothing" means you are clueless and have no creativity or imagination.
See, how important communication is? Why wait until the next time you have class together, why not call her on the telephone
([COLOR="red">no texting, no E-mail[/COLOR]!) and ask her?
I hope this is of help. Got questions?
I know a few single girls that say they are in a relationship online so that every single guy that is slightly sttracted to them doesn't send them 50 messages a day telling them how beautiful they are.....something to think about. Not saying this is her, but if she's flirty with you, she's probably not all that committed to anyone else.
Nor should she be committed to anyone.
Please become educated by reading the articles BEFORE you go haring off with what you think 'should be'.
What SHE chooses to do is HER business, not yours. If she wants to run 2, 5 or 26 guys is her call and more power to her.
Never, never go for girls from your class, job, close social circle... That will fuck up your life
I couldn't disagree more. I married my best friend, and we've been happily married for 9 years.
[QUOTE=Icedude;254943]Never, never go for girls from your class, job, close social circle... That will f*** up your life[/QUOTE]
If you are a busy student, classmates are readily available to get to know. Even if you do not date any, you might develop a friendship or two. You might also find someone who will form a study group with you. You can also ask these new friends if they know of anybody interested in dating and if so, to introduce you.
Dating coworkers is usually OK, especially if they work a different shift or in a different department. What is not good is when a boss dates an employee or vice versa.
The purpose of dating is to be able to learn more about one or two of your friends than is possible in a purely social setting. What better place to start looking than from among your circle of friends? What? no one is interested? Then ask each to help you find someone who is also interested in dating and to introduce you. This is called networking.
I realise that other sites, such as askmen, tell you that until she's "free and clear" you should stay well away from her - but, frankly, that's BS said by guys who can't compete.
She is the one with whom you deal, not her parents, her ex's, her bf's, her bff's or whomever - just and only her.
Be well-mannered and civil toward all other persons hanging about but FOCUS upon her.
Yes just go ahead and speak to her,if she's not into you she'll tell you,or it could be the start of something beautiful.I missed too many chances in my younger days by biting my tongue and thinking "why bother,i'm probably not his type anyway".My point! unless you ask, you won't know whether or not they feel the same as you,so just take the plunge,and go ahead and bite the bullet?
I have to agree, ask her out. If she has a boyfriend she might be polyandrous and whether or not you get into that is up to you. It's all mutual agreement and informed consent.
She may turn you down or she may say yes. Either way, it's better then wondering what might have been.
just my $1/50.
Hey guys nice to know about you if you think she is careful about you than you can believe her ............
i have friend that likes my gfs sister but shes in a relatonship with a abusive asshole and shes afraid to dump him. my good friend is trying to date her and she really likes him. im just wonderin if anyone has any advice to breaking up with her current bf? it would really help her out.
Leave him flat. Change phone numbers etc. Do not respond EVER to any ovetures from abusive ex. If this doesn't do it - then she should go to the shelter and just disappear.
She owes this abuser NOTHING and she need not fear him either.
you must be phycic cuz he just got arrested for abuse. shes dumping him and going for my friend thanks. now she will be alot happier.:D
i dont have any girl in my life how can i get any nice girl to date with me ,and to go for movie and so many things
i lives in bangalore and wants a nice girl friend for whom i can do ant expenses but i dont know how make gf
You Should discuss, continue with your bf.
You NEVER discuss when there's abuse - you LEAVE, period.
The FIRST hit/bit of abuse - is the LAST hit/bit of abuse.
Example: guy and girl out on a date. He drinks too much, drives her home, gets sick in his car and then DEMANDS that she go into her house and get cleaning tools and clean up his mess in his car. Why demands? Because she declined having sex with him in his now gross car. It was to be her punishment for refusing him. Doesn't seem like much but that's how such relationships begin.
You should say clearly to her. about your desire and expect ion and your love. I think you should not hide any thing her.
yeah, it's always good to know things beforehand. When you meet her the next time, talk casually. Ask her for a cup of coffee, have some good chat time with her, man. Don't talk close because you are still not sure if she has a bf or not. And you don't wanna make her say yes or no. Just have some laugh moments and make her feel free and on her own. If you ask casually in middle of a laugh moment, chances are that she'll be true on admitting the fact.

Customer Ratings & Reviews
Aquamarine and Blk Diamond Ring 1 2
Perfection! Its exactly what I expected & very attractive on. I'm a March baby but I wanted a ring to go with my black ceramic watch hence the black diamonds. This ring combines it nicely. I also like the way the oval stone is facing the long way; its a little different. It looks good on my finger that way. The sizing was exactly as expected, I wear a 6.5 & it fits correctly. Nice neat workmanship on the ring. October 2, 2012
