Kavalan Review
Graaand Pongal release…!! Good news for Ilayathalapathy fans. Vijay's most awaited 51st movie 'Kaavalan' released on Pongal (15-01-2011). Due to the sudden decision the movie didn't get much theatre as planned. The performance of the movie will help to get more theatres. Kaavalan release in Kerala was delayed and it is only released in 16th January. But some theatres released the movie by 15th evening through satellite service. Sources say that the movie will release within a week abroad. Due to the problems regarding overseas right the film doesn't released outside the country. Early there were many doubts regarding the movie release. The censor Board of Film certification had given the movie clean 'U' certificate.
Kaavalan is the remake of Malayalam movie 'Body Guard' (Dileep, Nayantara) by Siddique. The director has made some changes in the script to suit for the characterization of Vijay and according to the taste of Tamil audience and of course for Vijay fans. This is the 2nd movie from Vijay- Siddique combination (after the superhit 'Friends' in 2001) and the 3rd one from the Super duper Vijay- Asin combination.
The movie is about a young man 'Bhoominathan' who is really brave and truthful from the childhood itself. He loved to take risks and to be brave always. With a turn in the movie 'Bhoominathan' becomes the Body Guard of the famous Industrialist Semmannur Muthuramalingam played by Raj Kiran. Roja plays the role of his wife and KK as his son Karthi. Bhoomi saves the life of Muthuramalingam and becomes the right hand of the landlord. The life of his daughter Meera (played by the South Indian beauty Asin ) becomes in danger and as to this Bhoomi gets a new assignment to follow Meera and her friend Madhu ( Mitra Kuriyan) to the college.
Bhoomi is some kind of a joke at the campus, with his peculiar mannerisms, security guard's dresses and dark glasses. To poke fun at him, Meera starts making prank calls to him pretending to be a girl who is in love with him. After a while, things get serious, which leads to twist in the story. The climax of the movie is a special one which is never seen in the Tamil cinema.The Vijay – Vadivelu combination makes the audience laugh and also Mitra Kuriyan plays a leading role in the movie.
Vidayasagar has scored good music for the film and also visuals by Ekambaram is excellent. Pattamboochi, Sada Sada, Step Step, Vinnai Kappan, Yaradu are the beautiful songs of the movie. Pa.Vijay, Yugabharathy, Vivega & Kabilan are the Lyricists of the movie. The songs are now a huge hit.The movie is released without a huge media support. But sources say that the movie is going to be a great success in 2011 and make changes in the actors career.
Vijay has come out of his mass actions and punch dialogues in the movie and there are no over action scenes. The movie is a clean love story by Siddique and the Vijay – Asin duo has now become the super pairs of Kollywood.
Vijay's next movie is Velayutham with Genelia D'souza and Hansika Motwani by Jayam Raja which is a remake of the Telugu movie 'Azad'. Proud to be an Ilayathalapathy fan……!!!!!
Hope the movie will be a great success and special wishes for Kavalan!! Ilayathalapathy always rocks !!!

Kavalan release confirmed
Ilayathalapathy Vijay starring Kavalan confirms its release in pongal. The Censor board has awarded clean 'U' certificate for the movie with no cuts.
According to sources, after watching the movie, members of the Board praised the makers of the film for making such a beautiful family-oriented romantic film. The sources says that the unsual twist in the movie on the climax has made some of the censor board officials tears in their eyes. Now it is almost sure that Kavalan will release on January 15th in all over the world. . But the dispute between Vijay and Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners' Association (TNTOA) is the cause of worry for the audience. The doubt still remains that will Kavalan get much theatres to exibhit the film.
Actor Vijay, who is facing a red card from Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners' Association (TNTOA), has got much relief after Tamil Nadu Distributors Association (TNDA) has come forward to support the troubled actor. It has slammed theatre owners for trying to block Kaavalan from its release.
Kalaipuli G Sekaran, TNDA chairman, has urged the TNTOA to abide by the rules of the association and follow business ethnics. He has said that profit and loss are two faces of a coin and we cannot point our fingers at one for the loss. Will theatres refund audience money if people complain that the movie is not up to the mark, he questioned.
On Thursday, the TNTOA announced that the association will not co-operate Vijay's movies as he has failed to compensate 35% of the loss of his 50th film Sura.
However, Producer Aascar Ravichandran has reportedly convinced the theatre owners in South Tamil Nadu. He is also in talks with other regional exhibitors. As of now, he has managed to get 400 theatres, says a source. However, the Vijay-Asin Thottumkal starrer Kaavalan negative prints are ready and the movie bosses are said to be dispatching abroad by Sunday evening.

Why Kavalan release postponed?
It was heard that Kavalan will release in December 24th as a Christmas gift to the fans. But due to the release of 'Man Madan Ambu' starring Kamal Hassan, Madhavan and Trisha by Red Giant Movies there arised a problem of getting much theatres for other movies including 'Kavalan'. Hence to avoid the clash 'Kavalan' was postponed to Pongal.
What is the problem regarding TNTOA ?
The Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Association on the last day said that they will not screen any of the Vijay starring movies including 'Kavalan' which is gonna release on January 15th as a pongal release. Their main need is the compensation by Dr.Vijay for the previous failure of his movies. It is mainly beacuse of the recent failure of ' Sura ' which was guaranteed by the distributors. They said that without the compensation from the actor they will not screen any Vijay movies in the future.

Kavalan again in trouble now
The Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Association on the last day said that they will not screen any of the Vijay starring movies including 'Kavalan' which is gonna release on January 14th as a pongal release. Their main need is the compensation by Dr.Vijay for the previous failure of his movies. It is mainly beacuse of the recent failure of ' Sura ' which was guaranteed by the distributors. They said that without the compensation from the actor they will not screen any Vijay movies in the future. 'Kavalan' was planned to be release on Pongal as a world wide release. The movie is again in trouble now.
'Kavalan' is the forthcoming venture of Ilayathalapathy Vijay which is a remake of Malayalam movie 'Body Guard' played by Dileep and Nayanthara with director Siddique. Vijay is working with Siddique after 'Friends' in 2001.The South Indian beauty Asin Thottumkal also plays a leading role in this movie with the actor. Its for the third time that Vijay-Asin pair is again in a movie. Their previous ventures 'Pokkiri' and 'Sivakasi' were the blockbusters of the Kollywood. Vijay-Asin-Vadivelu for the second time after 'Pokkiri' will make more audience in the theatres. The distribution rights of 'Kavalan' have been acquired by Cinema Paradise, a production house run by popular filmmaker Shakthi Chidambaram and the producer is C.Romesh Babu.
The Film
When he was busy with the post-production stages of Bodyguard, Siddique had the idea of remaking the film in Tamil. He later announced his decision to remake the film with enhancements in the script to better suite the Tamil audience.
The film is about a youngster Arjun (Vijay), who adores the most powerful people and wants to be their bodyguard. Somehow, he manages tobecome the trusted aide of a leading industrialist (Raj Kiran), his wife (Roja) and his college-going daughter Meera (Asin). The industrialist wants Arjun to accompany Meera to college. After a lot of hilarious moments, the film... ends with an unexpected twist.
The Heroine
Asin Thottumkal was signed up to pair with Vijay for the third time after their previous pairings in Sivakasi (2005) and Pokkiri (2007). This has also helped her make a comeback in Tamil cinema after her last appearance in Dasavathaaram (2008).
The other actors are Vijay, Asin Thottumkal, Rajkiran, Roja Selvamani, Vadivelu, Mithra Kuryan, Guinness Pakru and so on..
The Songs
Directed by Vidyasagar 'Kavalan' songs are now the huge hits all over the world within these few days. Songs which are the main strength of Ilayathalapathy is beautifully scened by N. K. Ekambaram with the help of the famous Choreographers. The tracks include;
No | Song | Lyrics | Choreographer | Singers |
1 | "Vinnai Kappan" | Pa. Vijay | Dinesh | Tippu, Swetha |
2 | "Sada Sada" | Yugabharathi | Raju Sundaram | Karthik |
3 | "Step Step" | Viveka | Raju Sundaram | Benny Dayal, Megha |
4 | "Yaar Ithu" | Yugabharathi | Vishnu Deva | Karthik, Suchitra |
5 | "Pattam Poochi" | Kabilan | Vishnu Deva | Kay Kay, Rita |

Boy they sure do have a loose definition of humour over on SlideShare.
Yeah the site's duck soup to use, but I don't quite see the point. Couldn't you just use Google docs again, or if you really want to educate some eightball couldn't you create a slideshow or vid for Youtube.
Anyway as I say it's easy enough to use as you'll see below.

When the iPad is on charge it automatically switches on, does it have to be on to charge it or can you switch it off. If you can switch it off how do you know it's fully charged as there's no lights to show it's even charging
I haven't tried this with the latest iOS 4.2.1, but it used to be that if your charge level was below 20%, you could not turn off your iPad. As soon as you do, it will just come right back on. If it is over 20%, then you can turn it off. So how do you know when it is charged if it is turned off? You don't!
There's an app called BatteryDoctor that will help charge the iPad and will make a noise and tell you to unplug the iPad when it's done charging. I will also show you how long it will take and the approximate times to use different things, such as videos or music at the current charge level.

After almost 12 months spent slowly revealing its attractions, Singapore's US$5.7 billion (4.2 billion euros) Marina Bay Sands marked its official completion Thursday - and celebrated the impact it claims it has already made on tourism in the city.
While the ribbon was cut on the resort's ArtScience Museum - the final piece in the puzzle that includes a casino, restaurants helmed by some of the world's most famous chefs, and a SkyPark that includes a stunning infinity pool some 57 floors high above Singapore - those gathered talked up the revenue being generated here already.
Sheldon G Adelson, CEO of resort developers Las Vegas Sands Corp, said it was "mission accomplished" and pointed to the record number of tourists that had come to Singapore in the past 12 months.
The Singapore Tourism Board says 11.6 million tourists visited town in 2010, breaking the record of 10.3 million set in 2007. And - along with Resorts World Sentosa ( http://www.rwsentosa.com), Singapore's other casino which also opened its doors last year - the Lion City now generated an estimated US$2.8 billion (two billion euro) from its gaming operations last year.
The city is now the second largest gaming market in Asia - behind the Chinese city of Macau - and accounting firm Price Waterhouse recently estimated Singapore would top US$8 billion (six billion euros) by 2014. In comparison Las Vegas - traditionally the world's number one gaming market until Macau and its annual US$23.4 billion (17.4 billion euros) came on the scene - is expected to turn over US$10.5 billion (7.8 billion euros) this year.
"Our casino accounts for only less than two percent of our operations so it is a very small part," said Adelson. "Obviously we have so much more to offer."
Part of that is what will, from March 10, become a nightly light and music show - Wonder Full - beamed up from Marina Bay, a waterside area fringing Singapore's financial district which in recent years has undergone a stunning redevelopment.
Along with Marina Bay Sands, and the boutique Fullerton Bay Hotel ( http://www.fullertonbayhotel.com), the Singaporean government is in the process of developing huge parklands are the area, which it plans to start opening to the public later in 2011.

A quiet day was planned and for a change the plans came to fruition. A few minor chores interrupted the morning, but nothing that took any significant time.
By afternoon, the the watery sun was out and it was warm enough to sit out in the garden and enjoy the peace - only broken by the gentle lap of waves against the pebble-beach.
The Spurs game was not being televised so the temptation to watch was not there, though we did watch "El Classico" later.

On Sunday, the Brewers extended their franchise record streak of consecutive games in which the pitching staff has given up four or more runs to 22 (including the last 10 games of last year). It begs the question: What is the Major League record for such a streak?
I have handy, a game log database of every Major League game back to 1960. Since that time, here is the distribution of runs scored per team per game:
0 | 6% |
1 | 11% |
2 | 13% |
3 | 14% |
4 | 13% |
5 | 11% |
6 | 9% |
7 | 7% |
8 | 5% |
9 | 3% |
10 or more | 7% |
The most common number of runs a team scores in a game is three. I didn't know that.
Based on these percentages, the probability that in a specific 22-game stretch a team would allow four or more runs every game just by chance is about 1 in 400,000. The chance that it would happen at any point in a given season is about 1 in 2,500. What this means in general terms is that it's very unlikely that this streak is happening just because of dumb luck. It's far more likely that something is wrong with the Brewers pitching staff. But you didn't need me to tell you that. But I digress.
Back to my original question. In 2006, the woeful Kansas City Royals had a 28-game streak in which their pitching staff allowed four runs or more. From May 9th to June 8th - an entire month. That's the longest streak since 1960. The second longest was a 22-game streak - same as the Brewers current streak - by the Detroit Tigers in 1996. The Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Devil Rays had 21-game streaks in 1993/94 and 1999 respectively.
The longest National League streaks in that time frame were a 19-game streak by the Cincinnati Reds in 2001, and an 18-game streak by the Brewers in 1999 - the old franchise 'record' that they broke last Thursday.
So, we've got another week. If this run of futility persists, I'll go back and check years prior to 1960. But let's hope it doesn't. I've got plenty of things I'd rather do.

A good night's sleep is important for good physical and mental health. There is evidence that suggests a lack of sleep and poor sleep may be associated with an increased risk for health problems. These include heart disease and type 2 diabetes. There may also be an increased risk for colds and flu. Unfortunately, stress, worry and even too much caffeine can make it hard to get the restful sleep your body needs. When sleep is hard to come by, there are some products that may be able to help.
There are sleep aids that are formulated with antihistamines to help you relax and unwind at bedtime. They may work well for occasional insomnia, but talk to your doctor before using them. There are side effects associated with these medications and it is common for people to develop a tolerance. If you have certain medical problems like asthma, lung disease, glaucoma or problems with urinary retention, antihistamines may not be appropriate for you. These sleep aids come in a variety of easy-to-take forms including tablets, gel caps and chewable tablets.
Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by your body. Some, but not all, research shows melatonin can help you fall asleep faster and help you stay asleep longer. Melatonin supplements may work best if you have trouble falling asleep because you do shift work that keeps you on an unregulated schedule, or when you're traveling to a different time zone and experience jet lag. Since melatonin is a substance your body produces naturally, it's generally considered safe, but talk to your doctor before using it.
Valerian root is an herb. Some research shows valerian may improve sleep quality and make it easier to fall asleep. This plant-based supplement seems to have a calming effect that promotes sleep. It's available as a standalone supplement and as an ingredient in some natural sleep formulations. In sleep formulations, it may be combined with other "relaxing" herbs including lemon balm, passion flower and hops. Supplements formulated with valerian root appear to be safe when used short-term. However, consult your doctor before taking any supplement or natural remedy. More research is needed to confirm the effectiveness of these products and some supplements may cause side effects or an unwanted drug interaction with other medications or supplements you may already be taking.
Frequent snoring can reduce the quality of your sleep and make you feel tired the next day. Snoring has a variety of causes. It can be a sign of sleep apnea in some cases. Sleep apnea is a potentially serious condition where you stop breathing for short periods of time during sleep. Not everyone who snores has sleep apnea but it's important to be aware of the possibility. See your doctor if you snore frequently to determine the cause.
If nasal congestion is causing you to snore, nasal strips may help to open up your nostrils so air can flow more easily. This may reduce snoring and improve the quality of your sleep. Nighttime nasal strips are a drug-free approach to help you breathe more easily at night. They're generally considered safe for adults and children over the age of five. Some nasal strips contain latex, something to consider if you have a latex allergy.
Which sleep aid is right for you? If you feel your sleep problem is serious enough to treat you should see your doctor so he or she can help you understand the cause and treat it appropriately. Your doctor can give you guidance and help you make the best choice. Chronic insomnia may require prescription medication.

Released on July 26, 2005
Since their formation, Chiodos have been focused on creating something different while letting their diverse influences shine through. Their resulting debut full length is only definable as a melting pot of electronic beats behind piano, metal guitar riffs and poppy melodic vocal lines that leave you humming. Heavy and harsh at one moment, beautiful and serene the next, seemingly as a rule staying away from 'verse-chorus-verse' song writing. Chiodos is truly a beacon of light in a sea of music cluttered by cookie cutter mediocrity.

Small Business Week 2: Food
The real purpose of the party seemed to be a fabulous free food event...
...with people in long lines in the two "light courts" on the main floor.
The range of food and drink was amazing...
...from fancy sushi...
...to hof brau sandwiches...
...to glamour cocktails.
Heck, they were even feeding Walter, the infamous singing public commenter at Board of Supervisors meetings.

I forgot to mark this on my calendar. Last year they had some really great stuff at the food event. I even found a new restaurant on Irving Street as a result (That I still need to write a review for). - 9:11 PM
- janinsanfran said...
Now there's a spread. I didn't get a picture for my ongoing series on what we feed the volunteers, but I did a training last week in Newark, New Jersey and provided what the locals thought was appropriate: Dunkin' Donut holes. Yuck!
- Ced said...
I hope the real purpose of the party was to meet new people, the person on the first free food photo is awfully cute.
- Sam said...
so range was good - how about the taste? I agree with Ced about the cuteness factor. Poor guy in the next picture down caught mid munch didn't fare so well.
- sfmike said...
Dear Sam and Ced: The cute people were all related to the food industry. The politicians and "small businesspeople" weren't in quite the same category.
And I was much too busy a photojournalist to be standing in line waiting for a snack so I have no idea about the taste factor, but I have a feeling it was all fab. - 7:25 PM

What is the best way to get the raw data sent to a servlet? My servlet accepts xml data sent to it (from a form), but it seems that by the time I see it in self.response().fields(), it has gone through a little "tweaking". One of the values sent in the xml contains "&", but when I see it, that string has been replace with "&". It's as if the data has been passed through htmlDecode(). Unfortunately, this replacement makes the xml invalid. What is causing the replacement? Is there a way to get the raw data before it has been "corrupted"? --John |

Last week, Terrelle Pryor decided to part ways with outspoken agent, Jerome Stanley. This week, he has re-hired his former agent, Drew and Jason Rosenhaus.
Pryor has signed with Rosenhaus when he left Ohio State and opted to enter the 2011 Supplemental draft. At the time, Rosenhaus said he expected Pryor to be a first round pick and compared him to number one overall pick, Cam Newton.
The NFL teams saw things a bit differently and all 32 of them passed on Pryor in the first and second round until the Raiders chose him in the third round.

It's not often you get to share a railway carriage with a couple of Aston Martin prototypes, so it was with some excitement that we steered our Jaguar XFR onto Le Shuttle at Folkestone yesterday morning, a few cars back from a pre-production Rapide and an accompanying DBS.
We were on the top deck, and the Astons were on the ground floor, so although it took a while to find them, we still had a good 15 minutes to study the cars 'in captivity'. Turns out they were both pretty interesting, too.
Like us, the drivers were heading for the Nurburgring, where Aston has a technical centre adjacent to the Jaguar facility that we are visiting today. (More on that soon.) It seems the Rapide and DBS were both on the way to Germany for aerodynamic testing of undertray elements - a number of aluminium panels were stacked inside the Rapide's hatchback rear load area - and tyre development work, to be carried out on the roads outside rather than on the circuit itself.
The Rapide prototypes have been photographed before and, just six months away from production, have dropped all disguise so it was interesting to be able to see how the rear body shape has changed from the original concept car - basically an extended DB9 that still used the coupe's rear quarter panels.
The production shape is subtly different with all-new rear panels, although the visual effect is initially similar to the concept. The car still shares the majority of its hidden platform architecture with the DB9 too, apart from the obvious wheelbase extension and a new rear subframe to accommodate the rear seats. These seats straddle the DB9's auto-shifting rear transaxle (no manual version of the Rapide is planned), so there's a wide centre tunnel between the rear passengers.
Aston has also designed the car with significant load space thanks to rear seats that fold fully flat, although the prototype's rear parcel shelf design appeared a bit unfinished. The full-length load area is compromised by the low tailgate and a floor that has to sit above the transaxle, but the car would have swallowed a good few champagne crates if this had been a booze cruise!
So what of the silver DBS that was accompanying the Rapide? Super-sleuth PHer TrackDemon (a.k.a. Steve Hall, on photographic duty for our own Nurburgring Jaguar story) reckons the Nurburgring grapevine is buzzing about a project to revitalise the DBS with an 'R' type package of suspension and performance mods to give the DBS a harder edge as a driver's car. The guys on the train weren't spilling the beans, so we can't confirm that yet - but if it happens you read it here first!
After disembarking the two Astons bolted, so we naturally gave chase in order to grab a couple of 'on the road' shots through the windscreen of our XFR. We were lucky to have 500bhp under the bonnet as the Aston drivers weren't hanging around for a photo call, but after a few minutes of hot pursuit Steve had a couple of shots in the bag so we allowed them to disappear gracefully over the horizon.

Ashdown Forest looks different from its immediate surroundings because of its distinctive land-use over the last nine centuries. Firstly, it was originally created and managed for the hunting of deer and, secondly, it has been, and still is, common land. The Forest has escaped the plough and cultivation but has nonetheless been heavily exploited for grazing and military training and for its resources of wood, bracken, stone and iron.
The two main ecological habitats that make up Ashdown Forest are heathland (60%) and woodland (40%) each of which provides a very different environment for animals to live in. Both of these environments are discussed in more detail below. If you would like a list of all of the plants and trees on Ashdown Forest click here

Hi Paul,
If you have one of the sound cards is Claudio's database then you can probably use the levels recommended. The latency is something though that may be affected by the combination of sc and computer so you probably should do the tests to work that out to be on the safe side. This (the latency) was an area that I had read before but didn't fully understand, and didn't worry about, I didn't realise that the measurement.in.l and measurement.in.r (under the system folder) were changing every time I did a measurement, because the time and date stamp on them never changed. I also didn't realise that changes of as little as 0.2 ms could make a difference... I'm one of the lucky ones in that the latency difference for my card is allways the same for both channels, so I can just check the reference channel and make sure it is the same whenever I do a measurement (and redo it if it isn't) and know that my phase measurements will be correct. All I did to check channel to channel latency difference was set up an mls signal (with loop cable attached), and kept hitting record with measurement.in.l (under system folder) on screen, with the measurement.in.r dataset added. Both waveforms always lined up (with the occasional very slight difference in amplitude on a few peaks). I also could see from this what the most freqent latency value was, so I knew which one I should use for my measurements.... one particular latency came up about 60% of the time. Tony.
Any intelligence I may appear to have is purely artificial! planet10 needs your help: Let's help Ruth and Dave |

maybe you are refering to the sound card impedance calibration (impedance and capacitance values): in this case the answer is yes, in my opinion; for the rest follow Tony advises. Regards, Claudio |

Sir Alex Ferguson insists Liverpool will struggle to pose a significant threat to Manchester United's bid for a record fourth consecutive Premier League title. Ferguson spent much of last season engaged in an increasingly bitter war of words with Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez and the United chief has wasted no time taking aim at his old rival again.
With the new league season still 10 days away, Ferguson has written off Liverpool's hopes of ending their 19-year wait to win the title.
Although Liverpool defeated United twice last season, including a 4-1 victory at Old Trafford, and finished just four points behind the champions, Ferguson believes Chelsea will be his team's main concern.
"It will be hard for them to match last season, let alone improve on it. Other teams will know more about them," Ferguson told The Sun.
"Liverpool had probably their best season for 20 years and still finished four points adrift.
"It has to be Chelsea as the main threat. Ancelotti will change how they play."
The close-season departures of Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez have led some experts to predict a less successful season for United.
But Ferguson, who has signed Michael Owen and Ecuador winger Antonio Valencia, is adamant his squad is strong enough to retain the title and challege in Europe again.
"People have misread our situation and they have under-estimated our ability to improve players. That is an area where we have proved successful in the past," Ferguson said.
"We are expecting a lot from (Jonny) Evans, (Danny) Welbeck, (Darron) Gibson, (Federico) Macheda and the Da Silva brothers.
"And Nani and Anderson have already shown good things, but they will improve this season.
"We will miss Ronaldo's goal, that's obvious. But (Dimitar) Berbatov will do well this year. And (Wayne) Rooney and (Michael) Owen are both capable of getting 20 goals, so we've got plenty of options."
Meanwhile, Ferguson defended his decision not to spend the kind of money Real Madrid and Manchester City have splashed out during the close-season.
The lack of big-name signings had been attributed to United's substantial debts. But Ferguson told United Review: "Pay no attention to the cynics who have suggested our owners have stopped us spending. Believe me, it was purely a football decision.
"Maybe it is the Scotsman in me but I believe in value, even when I am spending someone else's money, and the asking price for players we were looking at just wasn't realistic."
"What you must remember is that we are working from a position of strength. We don't suddenly have to splash out to try and compete at the top."

Acquired startup tips reconfigurable architecture
MANHASSET, N.Y. Startup Silicon Spice Inc. revealed the first details of a reconfigurable processor that one analyst quickly heralded as one of a new class of "access communications" components, potentially more significant than the packet-processing chips known as network processors. Details of the new architecture emerged in the wake of the startup's landmark $1.2 billion acquisition by Broadcom Corp. this past week.
Broadcom (Irvine, Calif.) hopes to leverage the Silicon Spice technology to stake out a position in the burgeoning market for voice-over-Internet Protocol gateways and other wide-area-network gear.
The merger amounts to a fresh salvo in the battle between reconfigurable processors from startups and more traditional general-purpose DSP/RISC architectures from major players like Texas Instruments. At stake are sockets in the systems that will drive into the packet-data era the roughly 800 million lines of installed networks, along with more than 20 million lines that are added each year.
The Silicon Spice technology came out of work done at MIT by a portion of the company's founding team. The company has an exclusive license from MIT to use the technology.
Though still tight-lipped on some product details, Silicon Spice executives said their new part will be equipped with an instruction-set architecture that can be customized on the fly to match the particular requirements of the running applications. At the heart of the design is a hybrid DSP/RISC chip with an adaptive instruction set that makes it possible to reconfigure the interconnect and the function of a series of basic building blocks, like multipliers and arithmetic logic units (ALUs), on a cycle-by-cycle basis. "This allows us to create a custom path for that particular instruction for that particular cycle," said Ian Eslick, founder of Silicon Spice. "We can then change the custom instruction dynamically, resulting in higher performance and smaller code space than conventional architectures."
The key patent behind the device lies in the definition of the reconfigurable data path. One challenge is to scale the architecture from an Internet access device to a carrier-class gateway. The company claims the chip is theoretically scalable from 10 to 50,000 channels.
Currently, the device can address up to 240 channels, with an 0.18-micron process on a ball-grid array. "Our approach was to look at the vertical markets and their problems and opportunities," Eslick said. "We then applied reconfiguration where appropriate, to give the required benefits we were looking for in terms of density and software compatibility. The key is the control of the data path. If we rethink how we control and describe computation, we can reduce the overhead in our architecture to get more computing blocks per unit area.
"This ends up being both signal- and packet-processing intensive, with a lot of different moving parts," Eslick continued. "What we've done here is take all this application complexity and built it into a single software-enabled architecture that allows you to take PSTN I/O directly in, and go directly into the backplane on the way out. That results in a tenfold density improvement, allowing us to process up to 240 channels of voice on one part."
Chip interaction
To tie it all together, Silicon Spice devised a multichannel operating system that allows the user to interact with the chip through software, rather than having to go to hardware. The development environment includes a compiler, a debugger and a set of components (hardware and software) "to make it easy to integrate this into the target system," Eslick said.
The Silicon Spice chip has been evaluated at a number of key voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) houses, including Tollbridge Technologies (Santa Clara, Calif.), a leading player in voice-over-broadband technology. "They've integrated functionality that most do in a more discrete manner," said Jerry Stark, hardware design manager at Tollbridge. "We're a voice gateway, so we're very interested in multiple copies of a DSP algorithm for multichannel applications, and that's what they allow us to do."
Stark was referring to the basic Silicon Spice architecture, which comprises an array of proprietary DSP engines on a chip and an array of supervisory functions in the form of RISC machines. The chip takes DSP algorithms and runs them on the DSP tiles, replicating the algorithm many times. The RISC engines do the scheduling for the DSPs. "In effect," said Stark, "the user doesn't have to be worried about getting multiple copies of the same algorithm running simultaneously. That's what's interesting to us."
Analyst Will Strauss, president of Forward Concepts (Tempe, Ariz.), said the architecture represents "a new class of devices" that he called access communications processors. "We believe that these processors will have an even greater impact on the communications market than network processors have had," Strauss said. "Specifically, we believe [they] could be as important to carrier-access and gateway devices as the Pentium was to the PC."
While some compare Silicon Spice's technology to FPGAs, with the inherent difficulties in terms of programming, verification and power dissipation, Ross Mitchell, vice president of packet telephony at Broadcom, disagreed with that analogy.
"It is not in any way, shape or form an FPGA-type solution," Mitchell said. "I hesitate to even use the word reconfigurable in any description of Silicon Spice's technology."
He allowed that the device could be called reconfigurable in one sense, however, "because it does dynamically change the interconnection of the macro processing blocks" such as ALUs, bit manipulations, media-access controllers, address generation units and so on "to optimally match the processing element."
The result, said Mitchell, is "truly the best of both worlds: programmability, with phenomenal tools and high efficiency."
The device targets the demarcation point between the public switched telephone network (PSTN) and the packet network. This arena is currently dominated by VoIP gateways and remote-access concentrators, replete with general-purpose DSPs, RISC processors, external memories, FPGAs and interconnect devices that adapt the signals on the PSTN to the packet on the packet network. Jobs such devices must handle include aggregation, buffering and packetization on the one side, and encoding and decoding of various compression algorithms, echo cancellation and tone detection on the signal side.
In a market where every watt and every square inch saved can make the difference between a design win or a loss, Broadcom is banking on the projected efficiency in terms of space and power consumption of the Silicon Spice approach.
New weapon
The company, already strong in cable modem and Ethernet silicon, gets in Silicon Spice a new weapon with which to jump into gateways and remote-access concentrators supporting high-density voice, fax and data packet transport over WANs at the carrier side of the network.
Broadcom will pair Silicon Spice's silicon and software expertise with its own packet telephony software resources, acquired earlier this year from HotHaus Technologies. The goal is to get to market with production silicon, and hardened software, this year.
"This represents our most strategic transaction to date definitely our most expensive," said Broadcom's Mitchell. "The architecture is not just another DSP architecture. It embodies RISC technology, high-performance scalar processing, high-performance vector processing, memory technology and reconfigurable data paths within the scalar and vector processors, for unprecedented performance."
Broadcom will issue in aggregate about 5 million shares of its Class A common stock in exchange for all outstanding shares of Silicon Spice preferred and common stock. The merger transaction is expected to close within 60 days and will be accounted for as a purchase.
"We're excited about combining forces [with Broadcom] to address this fast-growing market opportunity in carrier access and IP gateways," said Vinod Dham, president and chief executive officer of Silicon Spice, and now a member of Broadcom's management team. Dham, an Intel Corp. veteran, is widely recognized as the father of the Pentium processor.
"With Broadcom's critical mass, we can now extend the architecture to address other DSP-centric markets such as multiport digital subscriber lines and 3G [third-generation] wireless basestations," he said.
But at least one competitor thinks Broadcom may be biting off more than it can chew. Leon Adams, worldwide DSP strategic marketing manager for Texas Instruments Inc. (Houston), a longtime incumbent in the VoIP market, believes the general-purpose-DSP approach offers better development support, software availability and verification tools than the reconfigurable alternatives. Indeed, success for any new processor architecture often lies in the availability of good, flexible software tools for debugging, verification and system integration.
"There's lots between here and the goal line for making cost-effective solutions," said Adams. "The [Silicon Spice] architecture philosophy is interesting, but the 'architecture du jour' won't result ultimately in a cost-effective product."
However, Nancy Goguen, vice president of marketing at Telogy Networks, a VoIP software company acquired by TI, said the merger "does validate TI's strategy of being in the entire portfolio of products that comprise the voice-over-packet market today." She said TI has 80 to 90 percent of the gateway market, and about 30 percent for remote-access servers.
More startups
Nor is Silicon Spice the only startup in this sector. In May, Chameleon Systems Inc. (Sunnyvale, Calif.) introduced its CS2000 family of reconfigurable comms processors, targeting wireless applications.
According to Chuck Fox, president and chief executive officer at Chameleon, Broadcom's purchase of Silicon Spice validates the reconfigurable approach. "No longer will the concept of leveraging reconfigurable adaptive technology for high channel densities be confined to academic circles," Fox said, adding that the 5x valuation premium paid by Broadcom underscores the technology's potential.
Another competitor in the VoIP arena is Malleable Technologies (San Jose, Calif.), which was snapped up in early June by PMC-Sierra Inc. Malleable, a privately held, fabless company, announced in April its Meca DSPs optimized for voice-over-packet applications. Though not a reconfigurable technology like that of Silicon Spice or Chameleon, the Meca architecture was the first to integrate all the DSP and packet-processing functions in a single chip, replacing the 10 or more general-purpose DSPs typically used today.
VxTel Inc. (Fremont, Calif.) also targets VoIP, but "from the carrier side, not the CPE [customer premises equipment] side that's a clear distinction," said Shri Dodani, president and CEO. Dodani pointed out that "reconfigurable" is not the same as "programmable." The Silicon Spice "FPGA architecture is so reconfigurable that it takes lots of tools to change the configuration," he said. "We have a truly programmable, scalable solution that doesn't need a lot of tools."

To Make Both Java and RD Happy
So you know the two old fellows Java and RDs dispute right? Over arse wiping and such of course. Java wants a more hygienic approach which he claims also a lot nature friendly, while RD is determined to continue with paper, both dry and wet, mainly because he doesn't want to run the risk of losing his, umm, 'jewels' shall we say, at the expense of using a bidet shower. Even at his age apparently he seems to thinks it is important, and who are we to say otherwise.
So I thought of helping them both so that Java can fight the good fight to save the planet, there are rumours that he's even going to start a campaign titled WASH. DON'T WIPE, and RD can be more hygienic while keeping his stuff intact.
You know these Japs are so tech type right. They like things to be all electronic, and they like
pushing buttons instead of pulling levers and stuff (no, no pun intended) so they had to make even the toilet so tech. So much so that they automated even the bidet spray. Now with RD's liking to this kind of stuff, I'm positive he can't really say no to this.
This is the marvel.
Now, this is how it works. See that little gadget at the back of the toilet seat, which I have marked there? It is actually the bidet shower, and it's hardly visible, but then again while you're busy at work in the toilet obviously you can't have obstacles in the way. So after you're done, all you have to do is push the appropriate button while you're seated. Then the bidet comes out, slowly, and does it's job perfectly and all you have to do is just sit there. Also that prevents the chances of water being splashed everywhere, so, RD's other complaint is also invalid anymore. Of course you can control the pressure before you are ready to go with the process and as an added incentive you get to choose between hot and cold water which indeed is a necessity in winter.
And here is the control panel, which I'm sure will help you clear any other things you might want to know.
There, RD and Java, I did my part. Now it is up to you guys to save the planet and save the neighbours, or their noses, rather.

Tina Fey
The 30 Rock Emmy winner chats about starring in the new animated movie Megamind and the pleasures (and perils) of parenting in NYC.
Wed Oct 20 2010
Tina Fey is in a hurry: Her five-year-old daughter, Alice, needs her mommy ASAP. "She just threw up," Fey says during a phone call from her office. "In the back of a cab, no less. Apparently, the driver wanted to kick her out right then and there. Thankfully, Alice talked him out of it." The 40-year-old Emmy winner sighs, laughs and settles in for a chat—with a warning: "As soon as I hang up with you, I'm leaving the office to see what I can do for my sick little girl. I get that how-do-you-balance-it-all question a lot, and my advice is always: Whenever you can, just go home."
In case it's not already clear, Fey throws herself into mothering with as much gusto as she did writing for Saturday Night Live (she was the show's first female head writer), and as she does executive-producing, writing and starring (as Liz Lemon) in 30 Rock, the best show on TV that's not called Mad Men. She shares her character's zealous work ethic, if not her neurotic tics. "Someone recently asked if I'd ever pulled any Lemonisms when I'm with my daughter, and the answer is that Liz and I really aren't that different," she says. "Besides, I personally think Lemon would make a great mom. She's used to sacrificing her dignity for others, which is parenting in a nutshell."
While Alice is too young to be familiar with Fey's 30 Rock character, she has watched her famous mom on the small screen thanks to DVDs and the family's DVR. "She's caught a few [recorded] Saturday Night Live skits...although she thinks Amy Poehler is a lot funnier than me," Fey says. "The other day, she came up to me very worried and asked, 'Mommy, why does Date Night have so much love in it?' If she sees me doing a scene with a man who's not Daddy, she gets very upset. It's nothing against Steve Carrell; Alice is just looking out for Daddy's best interests."
That said, Brad Pitt had better watch out: Fey voices the heartthrob's romantic admirer, Roxanne Ritchi, in the 3-D animated flick Megamind, due out November 5. "Basically, there's a superhero named Metro Man, who's voiced by Brad Pitt," she says. He goes missing, "which opens up a lot of opportunities for his arch nemesis, Megamind—played by Will Ferrell." In addition to pining for Metro Man's love, Ritchi also reports for the local TV station. "Any resemblance between Roxanne and other famous female reporters who have dated comic-book superheroes from another planet is, of course, entirely coincidental," Fey deadpans. She can't say much more than that about the plot, though she does offer some thoughts on the fighting prowess of her costars. "If you put Brad Pitt and Will Ferrell in a barroom brawl, my money is on Ferrell," she jokes. "Will is scrappy and fights dirty; he'll bite and scratch and break a bottle. Plus, Brad would be at a disadvantage because he'd have to protect his face. Whereas Will, quite obviously, would not."
Of the film, Fey says that "there's nothing in there that would make a kid freak the geek out." It's rated PG, which is good news for Alice, who can finally see her mom on the silver screen. Date Night and Baby Mama weren't exactly up the five-year-old's alley, though Fey says her daughter's moviegoing palate is actually pretty sophisticated. "She's been watching a lot of classic horror movies with her dad, like The Creature from the Black Lagoon and Them!—which she pronounces 'The-UM.' And when you say it that way, the thought of giant radioactive ants terrorizing Los Angeles seems sort of adorable, really."
Alice's highbrow movie watching goes down in an Upper West Side apartment Fey shares with her husband, musician Jeff Richmond, and child. Fey is a huge fan of the neighborhood, first and foremost because of the easy commute it affords to the 30 Rock sets in Astoria and to the titular midtown building. She also appreciates the area's laid-back sensibility. "You hear that it's obnoxious, but actually the Upper West Side is pretty chill," she proclaims. "I don't want to anger any of our other fine Manhattan 'hoods—no offense, Upper East Side!—but I think it's a great place to raise a youngster. I mean [Fey's voice drops down to a stage whisper], there's a little La Leche pressure when you're with a newborn there, if you get what I'm saying. But kids are allowed to be kids: They get to dress sloppy, spill things on themselves, run around and play in the park. There's no preciousness; it's all very normal."
Ask Fey about the cons of raising kids in New York City, and she can only come up with one: "There's no space," she says. "Don't even think about trying to find an apartment with a basement. The lack of toy management at my house because of that fact is, frankly, stunning." Ask her about the pros, however, and she quickly rattles off a number of favorite places and extols the perks of raising kids in a big city. "When I was growing up [in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania], going to a museum was a big deal. It was a major day trip that you had to plan for. Here, you walk out your front door and five minutes later, bam! You're staring at dinosaur bones. The proximity is great. Of course, if you ask Alice, she'll say that all she wants is a yard."
When they aren't strolling through museums or hanging out at Riverside Park ("I'd better not see my name showing up on Gawker Stalker now, Dave!" she jokes), Fey and her family spend time on Fire Island. "Great, now you've just made me give up the location of our secret lair. My neighbors on Fire Island are going to be very angry with me." Suddenly, it's as if an enthusiastic TV announcer has taken over the phone line. "Hey, everybody...don't go to Fire Island!" she chirps. "You won't like it there, believe me! Go to the Hamptons! So much better than that horrible, horrible Fire Island!" Fey laughs and reverts back to her normal speaking voice. "You can print all that in a bigger, bolder font, right?"
Perhaps anticipating the night ahead of her, Fey then waxes poetic about the difference between regular sleep deprivation and parental sleep deprivation. "Before kids, I always thought: 'Please, I worked at Saturday Night Live for ten years...I lived, ate and breathed sleep deprivation! That was my Tuesday!' And then, when you're dealing with a baby for that first year, it's an entirely new genre of sleep deprivation. You're tired, and P.S., you're also responsible for another tiny, fragile human being! You can be super exhausted and up all night around a bunch of adults really easily. When it's 4am and your daughter is crying, it's an entirely different ball game. But somehow, you wouldn't trade any of it for anything," she says, then pauses for effect. "And now I'm off to clean up some barf."
Tina Fey's favorite...
Manhattan play space "Like an indoor play space? We don't really hit those up anymore...she's too big! But for outdoor play spaces, we're big fans of Riverside Park—especially Hippo Playground (at 91st St). You can't go wrong there. Beautiful place."
Kid-friendly restaurant "Five-Napkin Burger (various locations, see 5napkinburger.com, hands down. They get extra points for truth in advertising, as you really need five napkins there. Great burgers."
Kid's favorite dessert: "At home, Alice eats a lot of Fage Greek yogurt...that's pronounced 'FA-yeh.' I'm so psyched that she loves it. When we go out, she usually likes this Yolato treat that I think is some sort of Pinkberry knockoff."
Book to read to her daughter: "Oh, gosh, that's a tough one...there's a book called What's Going on in There? by Geoffrey Grahn that I like a lot. It's really funny."
Kids' TV show: "I loved TV growing up, but there was so much less to watch...you had three hours on Saturday morning, and that was really it. Now, there's stuff on all the time, so I try to toe the line about limiting her viewing hours. That said, she's very into that Disney show Phineas & Pherb, and [Nickelodeon's] Penguins of Madagascar is a big household favorite."
"Adult" thing her child has said: "Last week, Alice kept yelling, 'Mommy, I want to be in beauty pageants!' I have no idea how kids find out about these horrible things. She doesn't even know what they are, really; she just knows she wants to be in one. I had to tell her, 'Well, sweetie, they actually don't have them in New York. And, well, even if they did...absolutely not!'"
