Just noticed a glaring error in my post of 1/5/05. In line three, the wording should be "the State was showing Bing Crosby's 'Dixie' and a stage show…while the Ziegfeld had 'Dixie' accompanied by…."
J. Foley has posted about a different Ziegfeld Theatre. This one was demolished 39 years ago!

Why not try calling on one of the local t.v. or radio stations? I worked for radio stations and also newspapers and they usually had free passes to these events.
Or call the theatre directly..I am sure if you explain your situation with your daughter someone will come forward with the tickets. I wish I had some I would give them to you. Good luck I hope you get the tickets for your daughter.
I am hoping some one can help me. My handicapped Daughter wants so badly to see the Premier of the new Harry Potter movie November 12th its not funny. I keep telling her we can't get the tickets but all she does is cry. Do any of you know how I can get tickets to this premier?
Thank you for your help>

In its final years as a Loew's movie house, the Ziegfeld played the same double features as the circuit's top theatres in other parts of Manhattan. Sometimes, the main feature would be the same as the movie being shown with vaudeville at Loew's State in Times Square. In August, 1943, for example, the Ziegfeld was showing Bing Crosby's "Dixie" and a stage show headed by Arthur Tracy, Harry Langdon and Edith Fellows, while the Ziegfeld had "Dixie" accompanied by "Aerial Gunner." In January, 1944, the State had Humphrey Bogart's "Sahara" with Patricia Morison, Jackie Gleason and Harrison & Fisher topping the vaudeville bill, while the Ziegfeld was showing "Sahara" with "Is Everybody Happy?".
Come by the RCMH site as a couple of posters have really been talking about their RCMH memories…good, bad and otherwise.
Patsy- sorry for delay in responding – While I have been to RCMH, I have never been to the Christmas Show there – I didn't grow up in NYC and therefore never was taken there as a kid, as were most kids who did grow up here – as an adult I've never gotten around to it.
Yes the page on Radio City Music Hall in Cinema Treasure has many posts and I have certainly contributed quite a few as I am crazy about this building(worked there during Robin and Marian) and grieve over the way it has been wasted in recent years.
Leonidoff was the stage show producer who Roxy brought from the his original theater on 7th Av to Rockefeller Center(literally a block away.)
Leonidoff along with greats like Russel Markert and Florence Rogge created the stage shows for which the Music Hall became famous and was responsible for the religious portions of both the Christmas and Easter shows. His Nativity was a Renaissance pagaent stressing color, spectacle, movement and tableau as imagined by a Medici.
Vincent: Thanks so much for your honesty in regards to segments other than the Rockettes. I'm sure you are probably right about the Nativity scene and it looking like it was produced by a "midwestern Christian Fundamentalist". LOL! Times have certainly changed and not for the better, it seems. Enlighten me on who Leonidoff was in connection to RCMH. Thanks. And where do I find this "Hall" page? Would your comments in regards to the RCMH be on the Cinema Treasures page of listed architects?
I've posted my thoughts on the RCMH Christmas show on the Hall page.
The Rockettes are great. Everything else is a bad joke. But then I remember the show from the late 60's and early 70's when it was still pretty wonderful.
The midgets are emabarassing and the Nativity is downright offensive(I am not a PC person but this seems to have been produced by a midwestern christian fundamentalist,Leonidoff has to be spinning in his grave.)
However mine seems to be a minority opinion.
The seating capacity of 1,660 is probably correct (give or take a few seats). Don't forget that the Ziegfeld was built as a "legit" playhouse and not for movies. It's rare to find any theatre designed for plays or vaudeville with more than 1,800 seats. When the Ziegfeld was listed in Film Daily Year Books as a Loew's movie house, the seating capacity was given as 2,000, but, IMHO, that was either an error or an exaggeration. I don't know how nearly 400 seats could have been added, nor was there any need because the Loew's Ziegfeld was a dismal failure and played only subsequent-run movies.
I would imagine anyone posting on the old Zieg is probably from NYC or living in the NYC area so if anyone can give me their personal RCMH thoughts including the Christmas Spectacular that would be great! Thanks. :–)
Dave-Bronx: I have to ask you….since you live in the Bronx-NYC have you ever gone to see the RCMH Christmas Spectacular? I'm still waiting to go someday even though it may not be at RCMH. It came to the Shea's in Buffalo this year, but I wasn't able to attend. :–( RCMH has to be right up there with some of the most spectacular movie palaces in the country. I can say, though, that I've seen the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, GA. It is an 'atmospheric' theatre with an organ as so many of today's theatre's don't have their original organs or any organ! :–(
The Ziegfeld Theatre on Sixth Ave. only had 1660 seats?? I think that seat figure has to be incorrect… from photos I've seen in the book "Lost Broadway Theatres" by Nicholas VanHoogstraten it has to have somewhere in the neighborhood of three or four thousand seats, however the book doesn't list seating capacity. Other major theatres of the era like Loew's State, The Strand, Capitol and Roxy had huge capacities. Consider that the late Loews Astor Plaza (opened in 1971) that we are all familiar with, had 1528 seats at opening – and the old Zieg had only 132 seats more? Can't be. Does anyone from the THSA on this site have a more realistic seat count?
I have read that Joseph (seen it as Josef) Urban was also involved in the Paramount Theatre in Palm Beach FL.
Does anyone remember that the site of The Ziegfeld used to house a Public Elementary School? P.S. 69 – I attended that school in 1964-1965 and fought hard to have the little red brick schoolhouse saved. Save Our School signs were made and we were featured on ABC NEWS.
My teachers were Mrs. Rattien and Mrs. Shapiro and the Prinicipal was Mr. Horowitz. I am researching to find a yearbook from 1965, the last year the school was in session. I remember my classmates were Jamie, Vanessa, Jody, Scott, Bernard C., Marvin (who lived in the Park Vendome) just to name a few. I am Marion R. – I would love to get some info or touch base with old classmates…
I do love the Ziegfeld theatre although it has been quite some time since I have visited.
Longislandmovies is referring to the current Ziegfeld Theatre, not the original. The latter opened as Loew's Ziegfeld on April 21, 1933, with advertising that "The Home of the 'Follies' Becomes Manhattan's Glorified Home of Talking Pictures." At noon of that day, 200 alumnae of Ziegfeld shows took part in a tribute to the producer, who died the previous year. The single feature policy started with the subsequent-run "Rasputin and The Empress," and there were three program changes per week on Fridays, Mondays and Wednesdays. Tickets were 15 and 25 cents at matinees, 30 cents at night (slightly higher on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays). Admission included free access to a "Ziegfeld Museum" on the mezzanine floor. I wonder if those artifacts are the same as those presently on display in the lobby of the Clearview Ziegfeld?
Walter Read ran this theater in its hayday and ran it well , the second floor has one large office that the president of Walter Read used then later by the district managers of CINEPLEX ODEON. What an office full bar master bath and an office size not seen in Manhatten.
You folks who are talking about "Troy" are confusing this long-demolished Ziegfeld on 6th Avenue with the newer namesake on West 54th Street. The other newer one is currently listed under "The Ziegfeld."
My memory of the Ziegfeld theater was on May 10th at the premiere of Troy. It was me and my two other friends. We came all the way from Philly, and we skipped school (shhh!) to go to this premiere. We had the chance to meet Brad Pitt and Eric Bana. We were sort of disappointed because the main reason why we went to the premiere was to meet Orlando Bloom but it turned out that he was in Morocco Spain filming another one of his movies. It wasn't at all a bad experience. There was alot of people there for Orlando and it was devastating that he wasn't there but it was still a great experience. Everyone looked so good! It was my first time at the Ziegfeld and it was a great time!
Can you please tell me how to buy tickets to the "Troy" premiere and the time for the premiere. Please reply to my e-mail which is Please. :(
The RKO logo appeared only on the marquees, the vertical signs, and on the free programs handed out at the theatre, but always separately from the four words "Radio City Music Hall." I don't recall ever seeing the theatre reported in the press as the "RKO Radio City Music Hall." In fact, it would have confused the issue because RKO Radio was the name of a movie production company. The theatre was usually known as Radio City Music Hall, and sometimes abbreviated to Music Hall. And in newspaper advertising in The New York Times for the dual engagement of "King Kong" in March, 1933, the two Rockefeller Center theatres were identified as Radio City Music Hall and Radio City New Roxy, with no mentions that either were managed by RKO.
Who in the world today would know that it was once the RKO Radio City except for those few of us who are into this kind of thing(I personally fantasize about seeing RKO classics at the Music Hall but is this normal?)I hope that this wonderful site is used as well by the more general movie lover who remembers the single screen theater. The only reason the old Ziegfield is here is because it was once a Loew's. Otherwise it belongs on a site called Broadway Treasures.
RKO opened the Radio City Music Hall and the RKO Roxy (Center), so that means that these two theatres should be listed with the RKO preceding the theatre name. Cinema Treasures should list theatres as they were named at opening with the first operater under the statistics. Subsequent operators should be listed in the theatre discription or biography. This should include the original name even if was changed within months of the opening just like the Piccadilly Theatre in Brooklyn whose name was changed some months after opening to the Avalon. N'est-pas?
No one is denying that it was once Loew's Ziegfeld, but that was during a lowpoint in its life. RKO once ran Radio City Music Hall, with its signature on the marquees and vertical signs, but do we remember it as the RKO Radio City Music Hall? I don't think so.
Regarding my post above: Warren is absolutely correct…The Ziegfeld should not be called "Loews
Ziegfeld" on this website. Not in the headline. The theater started as the Ziegfeld and ended its life as the Ziegfeld, hence it should be referred to as that. Period. Anything else is an "insult" and misinformation, to add "insult to injury."

Tareq Salahi Threatens to "Expose" Dr. Drew, Refuses to Pay Michael Lohan Rentby Free Britney at . Comments
Earlier this week, Michaele Salahi was kicked off Celebrity Rehab because she lacked the one thing people entering rehab typically possess - addiction.
No clue why the show didn't establish this ahead of time, but Michaele's husband, Tareq Salahi is threatening to sue, and that's not even the half of it.
According to her husband Tareq, Michaele only agreed to do Celebrity Rehab to get help from Dr. Drew for a pre-existing condition: Multiple Sclerosis.
"She was leaning on Dr. Drew who is a respected doctor to get her through some of the issues after the White House," says fellow party crasher Tareq.
He adds that Michaele Salahi takes her MS condition "very seriously" and that it was the show that wanted her to pretend to be something she wasn't.
Tareq says he now has plans of "exposing" Dr. Drew and the show.
"My wife takes her health very seriously, she has a real diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. We can show you emails about what they wanted her to pretend to be, therefore, but that's going to come out later on with one of the major networks."
As for Michael Lohan's role in all this?Lindsay's father also checked into Celebrity Rehab, and had allowed Tareq to live in his West Hollywood apartment while Michaele filmed the show.
But Monday night, Lohan was furious at Tareq, claiming he owed him rent for the apartment - $2,500 for three weeks - which Tareq didn't pay.
When the money wasn't paid promptly, Michael left the Pasadena Recovery Center, with cameras in tow, to confront Tareq at the apartment.
With a camera crew in tow, obviously, Michael returned to the apartment from Celebrity Rehab and the Pasadena Recovery Center to evict Tareq.
MiLo claims that he was successful. Guess we'll see in VH1!
Its pretty bad when you agree to host a birthday party for a dear friend and then sue people cause they did not pay. When it was them who was suppose to pay.
Well there is a shocker these two never pay for anything and all the do is sue. This is there job. Crash the white house parties and sue people.
I wasn't a fan of the Salahis but after seeing them on the Housewives of Washington DC I kind of felt like I understood them a little bit better.I think the Salahis just enjoy getting attention and going to parties.I heard Michelle went from being makeup stylist in a store to following her dreams of being some kind of socialite along side her husband.I'll give her and her husband credit for that.People always talk crap about them but you never hear them talking crap about anybody else.
The Salahis obviously have no money, they end up owing everyone they meet. These two grifters are way too full of themselves. She looks like an anorexic horse and he is a squatty little troll.
Hahaha they need to put Christina Haguilera on that show!
these losers and michael lohan need to go away and never return. they're all trash who will do anything to stay in the spotlight.
It's Celebrity Rehab.. for drug, alcohol, sex [addictions].. perhapds that's why the broad was kicked off. Lame people.. always trying to expose people for money. GET A FUCKIN JOB.

Rick Perry bowed out today, likely giving Newt Gringrich a well-timed lift in the South Carolina primary.
REUTERS/Chris Keane
Rick Perry's surprise decision to drop out of the race and endorse Newt Gingrich may seem like odd timing, just a few days before the South Carolina primary. But it actually comes at a critical juncture - and in many ways, could play out for maximum impact, in Gingrich's favor.

Don Mattingly, the Los Angeles Dodgers Manager, is Newman from Seinfeld. Just know that every time I'm upset about a decision he makes or doesn't make this season I'm going to be yelling "Mattingly" as if I was Jerry Seinfeld yelling "Newman".
OK, now to dealing with the issue at hand. The Dodgers regular season opener is less than a month away and Mattingly and the front office hasn't named it's starting pitchers for the games in Australia. I'm going to go out of a limb here and say that you should probably figure that out very soon. As in, last week.
It was thought that this would be a non-story as the Dodgers two best starters, Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke, would be slotted to pitch those first two games against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Sydney. However, when asked this morning if he was ready to name a starter Mattingly said the following:
"We're not going there. We haven't announced a starter yet. We haven't been close to being clear with that yet," Mattingly said. "We have four guys getting ready for Australia."
Those four guys, in case you were wondering, are the Dodgers first four starters: Kershaw, Greinke, Hyun-jin Ryu and Dan Haren. Not coincidentally, those same four will pitch the first four Cactus League games, in that order. The Dodgers have stated that they will prepare all four to pitch in Australia, just in case anything went wrong. It seems like Greinke is SUPER excited to go to the land down under.
"I would say there is absolutely zero excitement for it," Greinke told ESPNLosAngeles.com. "There just isn't any excitement to it. I can't think of one reason to be excited for it."
Oh, you thought there was only one bitter pitcher? We would expect this kind of talk from the very direct Greinke; however, when you hear it from Clayton Kershaw it means something else.
"I don't really want to go pitch there, but that's what we're signed up to do so we're going to have to get ready to do it," Kershaw said on February 8th.
So apparently the Dodgers don't want to go to Australia? Maybe I made a mistake. Maybe this isn't on Mattingly. Maybe the Dodgers shouldn't start Greinke or Kershaw. The Dodgers and Mattingly have been open about wanting to limit the amount of innings Kershaw works this season. If Kershaw pitched on opening day it is likely that he would pitch in three of the teams first six games, including the March 30th regular season opener on U.S. soil and the April 4th home opener. Greinke, who was fantastic in his first season as a Dodger, clearly isn't into the idea of pitching in Australia. If Kershaw doesn't pitch I don't think Greinke will either.
However, it would be a real shame if Kershaw and Greinke didn't start the first two games of the Dodgers season. They both understand this is a showcase for baseball and they would be doing a disservice to the game by not participating.
The question remains: Would the Dodgers go without their two best pitchers for the first two games of the season? The answer is beginning to look more like a Yes than a No. The Dodgers only focus this season is finishing the year with their two best pitchers on the mound.

:'] thank you!haha xox
i LOVE these girls.
So gorgeous.
The present alignment of the planets is encouraging both you and your loves one to think seriously about the future of your relationship. If you have been considering strengthening the bond between you, this is a good day for some discussion about how you both think this would work. However, don't base all your conclusions on today's conversation alone, as you may focus on all the difficulties, and forget about the good points.
oh my gosh really?my hair is dyed black right now though :( idk how to make that work out.Ive never bleached my whole head before.
I just saw a girl say how she is so excited to see mtv do a documentary on nicki minaj.
if you're that excited…wouldnt you have watched it last night when it aired?lololol.
Beyond exhausted.I have a 5 o'clock appointment though to get my old acrylics taken off and have a new set put on.Thank goodness.I will never go to Epic Nails again.They suck.
Hope everyones monday is good!xo

Can bankers interested in developing new business benefit from developing expertise in one or more segments or niches? I think they can.
Niches can be a springboard to success in banking. Specialists with strong personal brands often attract quality leads. Their expertise is what separates them from the competition.
But even generalists can benefit from a focused effort to develop more detailed knowledge in 2 or 3 areas for new business development. If your market includes a major medical center, you could devote time to becoming more knowledgeable about what's going on in health care. If your branch is near the court house, maybe you should be targeting lawyers.
Before settling on any niche, talk to your sales manager. If you have an idea about what you'd like to focus on, that's great. If you don't, your boss might have some suggestions.

Getting the Most Out of Networking Events (Live session on June 16, 2014)
Face it: few bankers are consistently prospecting effectively. Many struggle to get in the door with business prospects. Others can land a first meeting but have difficulty securing a second. Most give up too soon—often after just a few meetings.
Based on our work with commercial and small business banking teams, we're convinced that sales leaders can help bankers develop better prospecting habits. Diagnosing where RMs need assistance starts with an objective diagnosis of their current approach.
Here are some of the questions bank sales managers should consider:
Have you reviewed each team member's prospect list in the last quarter?
Are your bankers blocking out uninterrupted time each week to do research on prospects and schedule appointments with them?
Have your subordinates instituted a referral process to gain access to the decision makers on their prospect lists?

I am frequently asked by bankers to give them feedback on their Linkedin profiles. It's something I am happy to do. I find myself repeating the same advice to both novices on socaial media and old hands, many of whom have built sizeable networks. My recorded message sounds like this:
1. Your profile reads too much like a resume in my view. Write a summary for clients and prospects, not headhunters.
2. You should seek out some current clients for recommendations-- for Linkedin, but also for other uses (e.g. in proposals, as part of leave behind material, etc.)
3. Think about developing a communication strategy targeting the Linkedin groups your prospects are part of (CRE, manufacturing, law firms, etc.). It doesn't have to be original content but it does have to be relevant and valuable.
When it comes to Linkedin-- and other social media that more and more bankers are using to network-- it may be time for a reality check.
Wherever you are in your career you need to think about your professional brand, and that includes how you appear in cyberspace.
Recorded Webinar Alert: Sign up for our recorded webinar on Networking in the Age of Social Media. Ned Miller and digital marketing guru Eric Cook from WSI Internet looked at how savvy bankers are leveraging social media in networking.
They started by reviewing the most popular social media sites and then examined their usefulness in a business context. Along the way they showed tools and applications (many free) that will make researching and communicating with prospects and potential COIs easier.

Remember when you missed class and would ask a friend (or sometimes the brainy nerd who hung on the teacher's every word) for a copy of his notes? It wasn't the same thing as being there, but it might have gotten your through the mid-term exam.
If you haven't been to a sales training refresher recently, here are the notes that a veteran banker shared with his team of relationship managers following a recent workshop on developing strategies for high potential clients and prospects. Feel free to pass them along to others.
* Persistence pays off.
* Networking and connecting with the right people can help you get in the door and speed the process of converting prospects.
* It's not enough to have a breadth of knowledge of the client's business. You need to make your knowledge relevant.
* Identify the need and do the work (i.e. projection models, debt capacity, etc.).
* Preparation for any call is worth a ton. Anticipate the call and plan for the challenges. We're not as good on our feet as we think when winging it.
* Let your prospect know how quickly you'll be able to turn things around. Communication is critical. They don't know what we are doing behind the curtain.
* Knowing where you want to end up translates into having a perspective.
* Find the right solution-- which may not be necessarily what the client ordered.
* Bring something relevant to every meeting (another way of saying prepare).
* It's about the client – solve their problem, don't sell your product.
* Leverage Senior Management. Prepare them as well—they're not as good on their feet as they think they are either!
* Schedule relationship reviews for every client. Things change.
* Share insights and expertise, internally and externally. "Ask, don't tell" is a far better approach when sharing.
* Build a list of prospective businesses to focus on. Too big a list and too small a list are both problematic
* Use client referrals and testimonials to get an appointment.
* Add value. Bring something of value to the prospect in the way of ideas, information, associations, etc.
* Always plan two calls at a time. Set up your next meeting when you're with the prospect. Establish how you will follow up now that you have better information.
* Use questions that add value – the "Ask, don't tell" process.
* Recognize it usually takes multiple client needs to build sufficient momentum to overcome inertia.

My friends in Denver are still reeling from the performance of Steph Curry in the first round of the NBA playoffs. In the Golden State Warriors' upset of the Nuggets, Curry made over 44 percent of his three point shots, while leading his team in scoring and averaging over 9 assists a game. Not bad for somebody who was once considered too small for big time college hoops!

Buck Bierly will be leading two sales training workshops for Sales Managers and Relationship Managers sponsored by the Western Independent Bankers Association in the coming months. He'll discuss how to:
When August Aquila talks, accountants listen. So why should the article in his newsletter Partner Insights on 21 Basic Marketing Activities to Take to the Bank be of interest to bankers? Because, whether you like it or not, you're in the same boat when it comes to marketing your professional services.
I was recently asked by a youthful looking 27 year old business banker what he could do to impress business owners who were often twice his age. The obvious answer was to do his homework, be well prepared for all client and prospect meetings, and begin establishing himself in the local business community. In the course of our conversation it turned out that he had given a speech at a local chamber event on how to select a banker that went extremely well. A number of people came up afterward and asked for his card and he was able to set up appointments with them.
Aquila would applaud the young lender's efforts. He encourages accountants to join trade and professional associations and get on the program for events as a speaker. He also recommends teaching adult education courses for start-up businesses and offering seminars to reach business customers. Becoming famous might sound ambitious, but the question Aquila asks is worth considering: "Why should clients look to you to help them improve their business?"
Many of Aquila's 21 recommendations are applicable to bank Relationship Managers who are trying to grow their client base and expand their business network. Here are several, with my comments:
Here's a suggestion from me for a future meeting with CPAs (or any current or potential COI) on your calling list: Send them a copy of August's article 21 Basic Marketing Activities to Take to the Bank and set up a time to compare notes on marketing professional services. Don't just grill them about their approach. Talk about how you might be able to support each other. My bet is that it will be a profitable conversation. Let me know how it goes!
Question: I am currently considering joining a network group, this group limits members to one from each industry, however, when I attended the first introductory meeting there were three other bankers who wanted to join. I wonder how the group will approve the applications if we all apply. The group appears to be a well organized one and the leader seems genuine in getting referrals going.
Answer: Here's my take on networking groups. It all depends on the individuals in them. Some business bankers swear that they are great at generating leads for them; others find them a waste of time.
Does it make sense to join one? Sure, to see if you have found a good group. If you get into a dud group, run (fast) before you waste a lot of time.
That said, based on your reaction to the initial meeting you attended, it's certainly worth pursuing membership. The fact that you liked the leader is a plus.
How will they decide which of the bankers to admit? My hunch is there are several possible criteria:
These are only guesses. If you want to find out, why not call the leader up (and maybe anybody else in the group you know) and ask? You could take advantage of the opportunity to share with them some additional information about your background, your customers, your target market, etc. Then pop the question on your mind: "Based on my background, would I be a good fit for your networrking group?"
If you get turned down, go find another group. Or better yet, start your own.
And don't forget Groucho Marx's line about having second thoughts about becoming a member of any club that would have him. Referrals are great, but you have to earn them, and that comes from how well you deliver day in and day out to your customers. (And don't forget to ask them for referrals too!)

August 13 The First 3 Calls on a Prospect
How do you learn how to play golf? You can watch the Golf Channel. You can read instructional books ghost-written for top professionals. You can take lessons where they'll videotape your swing and compare it to the swings of touring pros
The correct answer is that you learn to play golf by playing. All the other stuff can help, but only if it's followed by rounds of golf.
What does that have to do with learning how to network? And, more significantly, what does it mean for Sales Managers?
You can make a strong case for talking about the importance of networking in your sales meetings. You can encourage people to read books and articles on networking. You can even send people to courses on how to become a better networker.
All these things can help. But none can replace actually going to networking events and trying to apply the concepts. It's just like golf: you can take a lesson but if you don't practice what you've learned you'll forget it.
Most of my clients have figured out that the first time people try a new skill or technique it will feel awkward. So, unless somebody encourages them to try it again, there's a real possibility that they won't. So that's one way that Sales Managers add value.
There are obviously other things that Sales Managers do to improve the likelihood that their Relationship Managers will get better at networking:
You don't have to be a great networker yourself. But if you believe being active and visible at community and trade association events is important, you have to walk the talk.

Multi-core processors: hype or the real deal?
9th Aug 2008 | 11:00
Multi-core processors offer great potential but aren't without their problems. We look at what they are
For years, scientists have enjoyed the benefits of supercomputers that contain thousands of processors each working in parallel to achieve phenomenal levels of performance. The advent of multi-core processors means that these advantages are on offer to ordinary computer users, but unlike earlier computing design improvements, the gains available from working in parallel are not guaranteed.
So if multiple cores is the way to go, it's not surprising that manufacturers are queuing up to release chips with ever more cores. Most PC users now consider processors with two cores as entry-level, and those with triple- and quad-core chips are being touted for those users with power-hungry applications who want a little more out of their computer. Some companies are already selling products that use chips with a higher number of cores, although they are less mainstream.
Sun Microsystems use an eight-core UltraSPARC T2 processor in their latest servers, and some companies have chips with hundreds of cores that are aimed at specialised applications such as mobile phones. The PC market isn't getting left behind, though: both Intel and AMD are expected to have eight-cores in the near future; and Intel has even more ambitious plans.
Approaches to parallelism
Multi-core might be the buzz-phrase of the moment, but this certainly doesn't represent the industry's first step into parallel computation – far from it. The multi-core approach is just the latest method in a long line of techniques aiming to do more than one thing at once.
For many years, processors performed one operation per clock cycle. So a processor with a clockspeed of 1MHz was able to perform one million operations per second. However, as processors became more sophisticated, instructions took more than a single clock cycle to execute and this relationship broke down.
Those instructions might have done the work of lots of the simpler instructions – and certainly clockspeeds increased dramatically – but there was a time when this had to be balanced against the fact that instructions were executed over many clock cycles.
The move back to single-cycle instructions was the result of a technique called 'pipelining', which represented the computing industry's first faltering steps into parallelism. Executing an instruction is a multi-step process. At its simplest stage, it might involve decoding the instruction, loading from memory the data for it to work on, performing the necessary action on that data and finally writing the results back to memory.
Each of these steps could take a clock cycle. Pipelining involves separating these steps and performing them in parallel. It isn't possible to perform all those steps in parallel for a single instruction, but as soon as one instruction has been decoded, the decoder is free to start decoding the next instruction at the same time as the data is being loaded for the first instruction.
Pipelining doesn't quite give us single clock cycle instructions – mainly because the pipeline has to be flushed each time the program branches – but it comes close.
The next development in parallelism was the provision of multiple execution units in processors. A chip might have two arithmetic/logic units (which perform integer arithmetic and logical operations) and two floating point units (which perform arithmetic on floating point numbers). When used alongside pipelining, the multiple execution units permitted – for the first time – more than one instruction to be executed in a clock cycle.
However, the improvements aren't as dramatic as you might expect. For a start, it often isn't possible to work on two consecutive instructions in parallel because the second of the two might require the result of the first. And secondly, executing multiple instructions in parallel might involve guessing whether or not a branch will be taken.
If that guess proves to be wrong, the result of one of the parallel instructions has to be discarded. A final point is that if only the arithmetic/logic and floating point units are duplicated, there is still contention for other resources within the processor.
Multi-threaded optimisation
All of the approaches to parallelism described above have one common factor. The parallel resources are managed within the processor, which means that they are transparent to both the operating system and application software.
In other words, if you'd swapped from a processor without pipelining to one that supports it, or if you'd upgraded from a pipelined processor with one arithmetic/logic unit to one with two, you'd have seen an immediate performance increase with the same software. Sadly, this does not happen with multi-core processors; as some industry experts have commented, there's no longer such a thing as a free lunch. For the first time, parallel resources will only work with specially written software that employs a technique called 'multi-threading'.
At its simplest, a thread can be an application. In this case, all you need to make use of multi-core processors is an operating system that supports multi-threading. Happily, all versions of Windows since XP have this support. Now you can run two programs at once without them competing for the resources of a single core.
This helps if you want to run a power-hungry application in the background – such as rendering – without the foreground task being affected; but it doesn't help if you want that power-hungry application to run faster. To achieve that, the application itself has to support multi-threading. This involves splitting up the operation of the code into logical tasks that can be performed independently and in parallel. We'll investigate this issue in quite a bit more detail later on.
The gains on offer
The idea that going from one to two or two to four cores will double the performance of a chip is, sadly, naive. So what performance gains can we reasonably expect in the real world? I asked James Reinders, Director of Marketing and Business Development for Intel's Software Development Products, what he expected to happen.
"Some programs scale well," he told me, "and may see gains close to the number of cores. Occasionally, this might mean a four-fold speed increase on four cores, but even a three-fold increase on four cores is good. Anything which has reasonably independent work to do can see such speed-ups, for instance database queries. But we will not see doubling cores make a system twice as fast in general."
So why does each additional core give less advantage than the previous one? "Eventually, the overhead of distributing work catches up to any program," Reinders explained. "For some it might be a few cores, others it might be tens of thousands. For anyone who has been up against a deadline, you know that having someone offer to help can sometimes be the answer to your prayers, and other times be simply of no use at all. Sometimes the overhead of breaking down short term work can be more trouble than it is worth. On the other hand, the more work there is to do, the more likely it is that you can use the help."
Reinders also had a cautionary tale to tell about how all this extra power might end up being used. "I used to have a 40MHz processor in my laptop, now I have one with a processor running at over 2GHz. Is that fifty times as fast? Not really, and the speed boosts it does have are used for many things other than running a single application faster such as smooth scrolling, higher resolution screens with more colours, wireless connectivity and virus checkers. The extra power is used more for things that I didn't have before, than for making my old applications faster. We will see history repeat itself with multi-core processors."
AMD's Chuck Moore, Senior Fellow Design Engineer for Accelerated Computing, was even more realistic. "An important aspect is something called Amdahl's Law. While not widely known outside the silicon design engineering and software development communities, it's highly relevant to the parallel processing and programming issue." Amdahl's Law is a formula for working out the performance gain of a parallel system.
If all of the workload can be parallelised, the speed-up is equal to the number of processors. However, if even a small percentage of the program can't be run in parallel, the level of improvement drops dramatically. For example, if five per cent of a program can't be parallelised, the performance gain is limited to 20 times – no matter how many cores are used.
However, these restrictions only apply to homogeneous cores, a standard which could be replaced in the near future. "AMD is now focusing heavily on bringing heterogeneous multi-core solutions to market, as part of our Accelerated Computing initiative," Moore told me. "The title Accelerated Computing comes from the idea that in the future, AMD and the industry plan to increasingly produce microprocessor designs that combine varying mixtures of scalar processing cores, parallel processing cores, and fixed-function accelerators on-chip.
AMD calls this new category of processor an Accelerated Processing Unit (APU). By creating the optimum mix of these three types of blocks, an APU can be more highly tailored to accelerate the software that matters most to a particular end-user. AMD's first APU will be 'Swift', which is targeted at the notebook space. This APU combines x86 scalar processing cores, a parallel processing core (based on ATi GPU technology) and a universal video decoder (again based on ATi technology) on-chip."
Multi-threading software
Certain types of software are more likely to benefit from the multi-core approach than others. So what applications will benefit the most from the new approach, and which already available software can take advantage of an increase in the number of cores?
I asked Mike Taulty, Developer Evangelist at Microsoft UK, what types of application are multi- threaded today; and received a somewhat unexpected answer. "On a Windows machine, it would be easier to list applications that are not multi-threaded. Most applications are multi-threaded," he told me. This is rather surprising.
An application like Word, for example, spends most of its time waiting for a key depression – so there would seem to be no great imperative to use multi-threading. I put this point to Taulty, and asked whether in this case, multi-threading is used as a programming convenience rather than for performance gains.
"Yes," he answered. "Client applications often push work to separate threads to partition the programming of that work. However, client applications like Outlook or Word might make use of secondary threads so that they can be doing things like re-indexing your mail while you're typing a message."
Intel's James Reinders also had some ideas about which applications will most lend themselves to multithreading on multi-core processors. "Any program which processes a lot of data is generally quite easy to optimise for parallelism. Concurrent processing of data is the easiest to find, and it's usually easy to modify a program to achieve this.
We call this type of parallelism data-parallelism. Programs which process photos, videos or scientific data tend to exploit their data-parallelism. The other type of parallelism is task-parallelism. This is definitely harder to grasp for almost everyone, but the concept is simple: doing multiple things at once. But figuring out the things in a program which can be done at the same time eludes people all the time."
AMD might have part of the solution. "The need for better parallel programming techniques is real and increasing," Chuck Moore explains. "AMD clearly understands and is taking action to solve the challenges of programming for parallelism.
Of equal and growing importance, AMD is also working collaboratively with the software community to develop better tools for programming within both homogenous and heterogeneous processing environments as part of our Accelerated Computing initiative. We look forward to these methods becoming part of a cross-industry, standards-based approach to overcoming the challenges and achieving the full potential of parallel processing."
A new computing paradigm
Last year, Intel demonstrated an 80-core chip that was capable of exchanging data at a speed of one terabyte a second. The company hopes to have these chips ready for commercial production within five years. Industry experts have suggested that chips like these will produce a totally new computing paradigm. I asked Intel's James Reinders whether he agreed with this view.
"Yes, I'm a huge believer that large numbers of cores will change many things. Mainframes, mini-computers, personal computers – more performance has always brought new computing paradigms. For me, I can't understand why anyone would think what we have today is 'good enough' and will be all there is in the future!"
So what is this new paradigm? What new ways will people be using computers in the future thanks to the multi-core revolution? "It takes a little imagination to envision the future. It always has," Reinders commented. "My imagination has thoughts on how it will work out. I tend to think of five things.
First, speculation – the computer does things it thinks I will want, so it's ready when I actually ask for it. Second, modelling – the computer models the world it resides in, and adapts better to it. A far too simple example is having my computer default to 'USA' when I'm using it in the USA; a more sophisticated model is having it learn my face and notice it in photos, videos, etc. Why can a five year old do this so well, but no computer seems to even try to do it?
Third, virtual reality at a level far beyond what we experience today; making that commonplace, replacing current computer graphics as completely as the VGA/CGA replaced the original monochrome text displays. Fourth, speech recognition. And lastly, eliminating the wait-cursor (the Windows hourglass). I'm sure they will turn out to be only part of what happens, and many days I worry that wait-cursors are as inevitable as death and taxes. We'll see."

Normande Sauce
CooksInfo.com knows of at least four sauces called Normande Sauce.
Two versions, from classical French cooking, are for use with fish.
Classic Version (1):
- combine in a saucepan a Velouté sauce (based on fish stock) with fish fumet and mushroom fumet;
- reduce over heat;
- add egg yolk and cream, then butter and more cream;
- strain.
Classic Version (2):
- add mushroom skins to a fish fumet;
- reduce by half;
- add Velouté sauce (based on fish stock), and cream;
- reduce by half again;
- add butter, more cream;
- strain.
A modern version of Sauce Normande is made with apples, and named Normande owing to Normandy's association with apples. To make it, you soften 1 chopped, peeled apple in some butter without browning it. You then add a cup (8 oz / 250 ml) of cider (European-style e.g. hard cider.) Slowly reduce over heat until it's the thickness of a purée. Remove from heat, let cool. Stir in 5 tablespoons of crème fraîche, and season with pepper.
Yet another sauce also calling itself Normande is basically a white sauce, enriched with crème fraîche, and flavoured with thyme, bay leaf and nutmeg.

"It is to be regretted that men of science do not interest themselves more than they do on a subject of such vast magnitude as [food]; for I feel confident that the food of a country might be increased at least one-third, if the culinary science was properly developed, instead of its being slighted as it is now."

Sea Swim
John Wedgwood Clarke
Click cover to enlarge
Throughout 2011, Sea Swimmers swam in Scarborough's
South Bay as part of
, the Cultural Olympiad
Programme in Yorkshire. They were led bravely into the
waves by poet John Wedgwood Clarke, whose eighteen-
poem sequence inspired by this experience was collected in
book form and published by Valley Press.
The poems explore the fluent, fragile and sometimes
agonisingly pleasurable relationship between the swimmer,
the land and the sea around Scarborough; how swimming
transforms the way we feel ourselves to be in our bodies,
and the liberating effects these changes have on the
Sea Swim
may be as close as you can get to
swimming in the sea without donning a wetsuit.
Praise for John Wedgwood Clarke and Sea Swim:
"His work is amongst the best to have emerged from new
poets in this country over the past two or three years."
— Simon Armitage, on JWC's shortlisting for the 2010
Manchester Poetry Prize
"I am thrilled to be patron of this simple and simply
beautiful idea. Poetry is going down to the sea again."
— Carol Ann Duffy
'Your wake complicates mine. / Our footprints dream in the tide.'

Sample poems
Beach chalets
are small wooden stanzas
in which words undress
and step from the damp
boards and sixty-watt bulbs
into colossal light,
blinking, rubbing arms,
lifting a little on their toes
as if trying to see over the cold,
ready as they will never be
for the body to speak itself again
for the first time
in the mouth of the North Sea,
the body like a bell note
struck by an iron key,
wordless in a furl of murk,
weed, someone's foot,
and up, shouting, turnstones
overhead, the Hispaniola
rocking by, treading water
back into now, rooted
in all the strange words –
children, parents –
in hands that have held
and let go, swimmers in song.
Winter Minutes
'souls are exhaled from moist things'
The sea has chilled and cockled this book.
Words migrate through its pages:
both doors of the chalet are open; the horizon
a lightly tapped tuning fork.
There's nothing to record but your absence.
A tiny spider, auburn-legged, light
as sea foam, sews along the table's aluminium edge.
I write
in absentia
, snow on the sea.

Componibili by Anna Castelli Ferrieri
More tubular storage.. This ultra-saturated red Componibili storage unit, designed by Anna Castelli Ferrieri, is a modular system. It's available with one, two, or three cells and a tray that fits on top...
The tubular shape takes up a minimum amount of space. This is similar in concept to the Bellantonio Storage Tube we posted earlier this week. But the look couldn't be more different.
These can be used in the bathroom, as side/ bedside tables, or even at the office. Available on casters for extra mobility.
The Componibili has been in production for 30 years and is in the collection of the MoMA. Priced well, too, at $105 for the two-cell design and $145 for the three-cell.
4 Comments
This is a classic, and is among the classic pieces I covet. Some day, some day. It really is affordable--but only if you have some left over after the bills are paid. In our house, that's a rare one.
Are these the same ones that have been available at Kartell forever? I've seen them in white.
I've had a double model of this as my bedside cabinet since I was in high school 30 years ago. It was the first piece of furniture I ever selected and bought on my own. So I guess that's a testament to its durability. It was an innovative piece back then and now a post-modern classic.
does anyone know where to find the version with the casters (as pictured at top). i can only find them new without.

Willoughby Neighborhood is Growing
The following was sent in by a reader (and I'm grateful): "Don't know if you're repping any homes in Willoughby or any of your buyers are looking there, but there are some plans in the city and county that they may wish to consider. ... All 100 units will enter and exit on Harris Road in Willoughby, as the property is constrained by Moore's Creek and I doubt the County would give permission to build an automobile crossing into the Avon Center development, should it ever be built. ... * Part I of the city plan looks to be about half the units and beds -- 25 units/100 beds or so. --- From Albemarle's "County View" : (bolding mine) ZMA 201100003, Willoughby Apartments Planner: Claudette Grant PROPOSAL: Rezone 5.671 acres from Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning district which allows residential (3 – 34 units per acre), mixed with commercial and industrial uses to PUD zoning district to add residential density to plan. ...I contacted an attorney who graciously bent his ear for 20+ minutes about the very possible encroachment or developing on Willoughby Common Property in the City without legal right of way and he said to hire a surveyor and have him/her survey the area, mark it and record it, then we will have an expert determine if this is true.

Patio Drunk: Ten Of Dallas' Best Patios

The title of Baboon's new album, Something Good is Going to Happen to You, is truth in advertising, so long as you crack the shrinkwrap and give it a few listens or, better yet, a few hundred. It would apply just as easily to the band, had someone said it to them a year or so ago, before they began recording at Last Beat's studio. Never before has the group made an album that's as versatile as it is volatile; 1997's Secret Robot Control and 1999's We Sing and Play EP had the pieces, but Something Good puts the puzzle together. The band--singer Andrew Huffstetler, guitarist Mike Rudnicki, bassist Mark Hughes and drummer Steve Barnett, now joined by ex-Toadie Mark Reznicek on percussion and keys--puts melody and malady in the same pot instead of merely the same plate, stroking one cheek and slapping the other. Over a dozen songs, Baboon fields every position like a skilled utilityman, whether they're killing you softly ("Son," a wobbly marionette on synthetic strings; the piano-bar pang of "Goodnight, Good-bye"), tightening a noose of noise ("Pig Latin"--and that's close enough to whatever's being said) or somewhere in between ("Carried," where quiet has a head-on collision with LOUD). Like Huffstetler sings on "Evil," Baboon's "got something on everyone." You only hope they didn't save the best for last.
