Seniors receive free Thanksgiving turkeys
Yesterday morning, Council President Darrell L. Clarke (D-5th dist.) and Walmart teamed up to make sure older Philadelphians in need had essential Thanksgiving food items — turkeys.
Lutheran Settlement House, 1340 Frankford Ave. in Fishtown, was one of three locations at which 500 turkeys were distributed to seniors.
The Fishtown Neighbors Association also announced earlier this month that it was able to sponsor 10 food baskets — complete with turkeys —which were provided by LSH to low-income seniors, homeless women and children, survivors of domestic violence and neighbors in need. ••
Officer who punched woman faces assault charge
Former Philadelphia Police Lt. Jonathan Josey will be charged with simple assault for punching a woman in the face in September.
John McNesby, president of the Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge #5, told The Philadelphia Inquirer that the charge is "insane" and only a result of media coverage. The FOP had organized a benefit Oct. 28 in support of Josey.
A video that quickly went viral earlier in the fall showed Josey punch Aida Guzman, 39, of Chester, twice in the head. The incident occurred during a street party at 5th Street and Lehigh Avenue, following the city's annual Puerto Rican Day parade.
Days later, Police Commissioner Charles H. Ramsay announced a direct-action dismissal against Josey, 39, a 19-year veteran of the department. Guzman had been charged with disorderly conduct — she admitted that she was spraying silly string at the celebration.
Those charges were later dropped, and Mayor Michael Nutter apologized to Guzman at a news conference following the incident. The District Attorney's Office declined comment. ••
Wynn proposes casino in Fishtown
Las Vegas hotel magnate Steve Wynn is one of the five contenders hoping to land the city's second casino license. The deadline for application to the Pennsylvania Gaming Board was 5 p.m. Thursday.
His company, Wynn Resorts Ltd., turned over to the Nutter administration a required report on the local impact of his project, which would be constructed in Fishtown.
The project would be Wynn Philadelphia, a 300-room hotel with a 150,000-square foot casino. The Fishtown land, owned by New Hope builder James Anderson, stretches on North Beach Street from Palmer to Cumberland streets.
Wynn said the proximity to the city's first casino, SugarHouse, would be a positive thing, because it would give locals a choice in casino.
Now that the applications are in, the gaming board will schedule hearings and begin reviewing hundreds of pages of project information. For a project to be granted a license, it must receive the votes of five of the seven commissioners. It's possible, then, that no project receives the necessary votes. ••
'Pharmacy bandit' suspect held on $1.6 million bail
A 50-year-old man suspected of being the "pharmacy bandit" who robbed 16 pharmacies — including Fishtown's York Street Pharmacy Oct. 30 — was held on bail Wednesday. The crime spree ran from Dec. 10, 2011 until Nov. 12 of this year.
According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, William Webb is charged with aggravated assault, robbery, possession of drugs with intent to distribute, violation of the Uniform Firearms Act and related offenses in the robberies. A judge on Wednesday morning set his bail at $100,000 per robbery.
Webb and his alleged accomplice, 19-year-old Edward Schaeffer, were caught a Tacony home Monday after stealing a prescription bottle implanted with a GPS tracking device that led authorities to their location. Schaeffer was expected to be arraigned Wednesday. ••
New rules — and fines — for bikers and drivers approved by Council
On Thursday at a public hearing of the Streets and Service Committee, City Council approved of Bill 120532, which sets new guidelines and fines for both bicyclists and drivers.
The bill, introduced in May, outlines the following:
Drivers would be required to check for cyclists before opening street-side doors and prohibited from stopping or parking a vehicle in a designated bike lane. Fines for blocking a bike lane could be $50 to $75.
Cyclists, on the other hand, will be prohibited from parking in a way that blocks pedestrians, and will see fines up to $75 for non-parking violations (such as riding on sidewalks and running red lights). They'll also be allowed to ride "two abreast" as long as they don't "impede the normal and reasonable flow of traffic." Cyclists already are required to adhere to the same guidelines as operators of motor vehicles.
Councilman Mark Squilla (D-1st dist.) said the bill intends to make motorists more aware that bicyclists are sharing the road with them.
According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia has called the bill "a big win for Philadelphia's ability to walk and bike safely." ••

New Jersey hedge fund Appaloosa Management LP has entered into a confidentiality agreement with Dana Corp., perhaps easing a battle between the two firms.
As unions at Dana vote on new contracts and benefits changes, the firm's largest shareholder has asked the Toledo company to reconsider a financial deal underlying the settlement.
Appaloosa, which owns 15 percent of Dana shares, termed "absurd and one-sided" a financing deal that the Toledo auto parts maker entered this month to fund health benefits for its union employees and union retirees.
The fund has repeatedly asked Dana for confidential information, including what its post-bankruptcy strategy is. Dana, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March, 2006, had refused to provide Appaloosa with a satisfactory response.
In a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing Friday, the Toledo firm agreed to provide certain confidential information to Appaloosa.
Questioned by the fund was an agreement Dana reached with private-equity firm Centerbridge Capital Partners LP to invest, with partners, up to $750 million to fund the health benefits. The separate financing is to help free Dana of a $1.3 billion health care obligation it said it needs to shed to successfully emerge from bankruptcy.

I've been waiting a long time for this. With my heart reasonably tied to the sounds of the UK, part of me squeals with joy when I see one of the young artists pushing the new era of garage come to the states. It means something real; that the music that the UK has been an advocate of for ages now has finally touched down in the US, that the was once behind-the-curve American market for dance music may slowly be catching up. Disclosure, consisting of Howard and Guy, two very young brothers (18 & 21) have quickly risen to the forefront of this kind of sound, and lucky for LA, they headlined an amazing live show at the El Rey to a sold out crowd of costumed enthusiasts on Halloween.
I'm pretty sure something has to be said that every single song they've made has been released, and on top of that, they're all hits. These kids quite literally hopped on to making garage style music after falling in love with Burial's Untrue two years ago, and ever since then it's been a whirl of success, with a free EP garnering them masses of downloads & "What's In Your Head" in every single DJ rotation, radio show, and mixtape this summer.
As everyone was doing some last minute costume prepping before heading to the El Rey that night, I jetted over to the historic venue to have a chat with the boys before the show. Their young faces & Howard's aside that he misses England were perhaps the only things indicating their age; the boys otherwise spoke and performed as though they were much older. Great guys, pleasant interview, a real treat. Later, after I arrived to the always great Samo Sound Boy's set, there was a pleasantness in the air unlike other shows; a kind of unspoken knowledge of the oxytocin-laced, subtle booty-shake set that Disclosure was about to provide. And that's exactly what it was. After opening with "Control", the boys worked rather seamlessly together in their live show, leaving perhaps the entire audience with a smile on their face the entire time. Whatever it is they are doing, they are doing it right. I'm very much looking forward to the boundless future of Disclosure, and happily await their return.
Until then, get your digs with the interview, and their very awesome mix for The Fader below.

generally good (mint)
it didn't make my teeth very white but they did lighten a couple of shades. Besides both the taste and aftertaste were very nice, none of that super freshness that almost hurts to breathe, but still very fresh, more natural feeling. An overall good product, gentler than most whitening toothpastes out there — 4 years, 12 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Mariah Carey made her return to the stage since giving birth to twins in diva-like form: She changed her shoes after singing two songs and touched up her hair and makeup in a sleek, sleeveless black dress, all in front of an eager audience.
Carey, who gave birth to fraternal twins via C-section in April, performed for a few hundred fans Thursday night at New York's Gotham Hall.
Of her return she said: "I didn't realize this was a big deal."
Performing at Caesars Entertainment "Escape to Total Rewards" kick-off at Gotham Hall in New York.March 1, 2012
(AP Photo)
The Grammy winner sang a number of her hits during the short performance, from "Hero" to "We Belong Together" to the Jackson 5 cover "I'll Be There."
The concert was one of four shows Thursday dubbed "Plot Your Escape: Four Concerts. Countless Celebrities. 1 Epic Night," by Caesars Entertainment. Diddy was Carey's opening act in New York, while Lil Wayne and Cee-Lo performed in Los Angeles, Maroon 5 and Sara Bareilles in Chicago, and Mary J. Blige and Gavin DeGraw in New Orleans. The concerts were part of Caesars Entertainment's rewards program.
The shows happened simultaneously and were streamed online.
"We can't do anything without it being documented," Carey told the audience. "Doesn't it freak you out at all?"
Carey said if her son Moroccan was onstage, he would probably beat-box, and that her daughter Monroe would be a diva.
The multiplatinum performer thanked her fans for being there and joked: "Catch me at my real show next time."

Independence Day
Please for a few moments indulge a bit of metaphoric recklessness, because it occurred to me how utterly appropriate it is that we celebrate our country with backyard cookouts. It's such a democratic venue: Everyone is invited to bring something to the table. If additional guests want to come you just throw more burgers (or vegan hot dogs) on the fire. The very young, the very old, the very eccentric, all can be accommodated. It's casual but can be seriously good food.
I once attended a cookout where everyone was asked to bring a food from his or her childhood. We had potstickers next to gelatin salads with fruit suspended in them, bratwurst next to kielbasa, Rice Krispie treats alongside frangipane tarts. Sounds like a mess, huh? But cookouts aren't carefully orchestrated meals, with each element complimenting every other element. They're potlucks that allow folks to show off their favorite and most accessible dishes.
Of course, burgers are number 1 on the list of July 4th fare. I'm no grilling expert, so I'll just direct you here for tips on making great burgers. We recently topped our burgers with salsa, sour cream and avocado, an unlikely way to go but pretty good. I had intended to make these black bean burgers but at the last minute decided I wanted beef. I've seen lots of great topping ideas, from tomato-onion compote to corn relish. Here are a few more:
All-American Bacon Cheeseburger
Mediterranean Burgers on Grilled Garlic Bread
What's your favorite burger topping? — Kim Walker

Newcastle boss Alan Pardew is looking for a striker with power and pace
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew is looking for power and pace as he targets a replacement for striker Demba Ba.
Last Updated: 04/01/13 2:03pm
Chelsea triggered the £7million escape clause in Ba contract with Newcastle on Wednesday, and the player is ready to leave St James' Park.
Pardew was looking to take positives from the situation, and he believes Ba and former strike-partner Papiss Cisse were not a natural combination.
As a result he is hoping to recruit a player similar to Gabriel Obertan, with Marseille's Loic Remy reportedly at the top of his wanted list.
Pardew said: "I would like, if possible, to have a player with real power and pace. Sometimes, we lack a little bit of pace.
"Obertan brings that to the team, but when Gabby is not in the team, that's something I would like to see in the player that comes in because that will help Papiss, and also somebody who is going to threaten at set-plays because it has been a weakness for us.
"But it's easy to say what I would really like - it's what I can get in this window and the options are not numerous. There are only a few players, really, who are available."

Specifically, what is the preportion of ice cream to Vernors? 1 scoop to 12 oz.?
Specifically, what is the preportion of ice cream to Vernors? 1 scoop to 12 oz.?
Sorry, the original recipe calls for Stevia as the sweetener, you'll have to lobby whatever large international soda company owns the Vernor's name first.
Depends if you like them thick, then more ice cream. Less ice cream makes for a thinner drink. Damn, you got me wanting one now. I might have to run to the store. Another great drink is Vernors mixed with chocolate syrup. Sounds bad and looks weird but tastes great.
I agree with Downrivera, whatever makes your palate happy. I did a bit of online searching, but everybody seems to have a different idea.
I did run across a Vernors Slurpee at a 7-11 this evening. It was pretty good, but did not want to flow through the straw without practically sucking the wax off the bottom of the cup.
If it has Vernor's in it, why is it called a "Boston" anything?
A true BC has to be made with Strohs vanilla ice cream. Why?
Ah, it is a bit of a tale, but the short version is that it was invented on BOSTON Blvd.
The Sander's stores call them Detroit coolers, but it's the same thing as a Boston Cooler. So Prof. Scott get yourself over to your nearest Sander's store & get a Detroit Cooler!
I have been drinking BC's for many many years especially when Vernor's was on Woodward. But I have never measured the ingredients nor have I ever thought about measuring the ingredients. When DPS kids used to go on field trips the Vernor's plant was on the list. The best part was at the end of the trip we were all given huge souvenir glasses with the Vernor's Gnome to make ourselves BC's that we would eat on the way back.
Here's my recipe, and it's stood the test of over 20 years of delicious summer Boston Cooler drinking:
Two scoops vanilla ice cream in tall glass tumbler
Fill glass 3/4 way with Vernors
Stir and drink.
When glass is half empty, add Vernors to thin or more ice cream to thicken.
Repeat until you run out of ice cream or Vernors.
Yum. Make sure to go and run 5 or 10k the next day.
Funny, I was just at the Stroh's in downtown Wyandotte yesterday enjoying a boston cooler! My kids wanted to trade me their ice cream for it, it was that good.
I suggest purchasing a Boston Cooler at the Dairy Freez in North Ridge, Ontario (just outside of Essex). It would be a way better experience than actually making one yourself (and yes they use Vernor's).
For awhile in the 70s, Sanders used to make a Vernor's flavored ice cream that my grandmother would use in her Boston Coolers along with the original tickle your nose Vernors pop. It was quite a gingery overload.
Fill a blender up with French Vanilla ice cream. Add enough Vernors to get your desired consistency. Personally, I like 'em thick. I love Boston Coolers....I can drink the blender full in short order.
Try a Boston Creamer too. Pour Vernors in a large glass and add half & half or full cream. NOM NOM NOM.
I think it is best to use the 'densest' ice cream, too. Not the whipped bullshit they pass off as ice CREAM nowadays. There is a figure in the nutrition listing of grams per serving or something like that.
But I'm still waiting for the Vernors people to try their original formula, like Faygo did. It took a moment to catch on, and those folks almost cancelled a great thing, but it got me back to being a Faygo fan.
Vernors would have me back in a MINUTE if they stopped using that High Fructose Corn Syrup poison. Stevia is even legal to use again...it was classified as a medicinal additive by the FDA, after they were bribed by the corn lobbyists in the 80s. Silly shit...
According to the ice cream soda wiki, no one really knows why the Boston Cooler got that name.
a poor man's boston cooler was just mixing milk with Vernors - it took the tickle out and made the ginger ale go down smoother. I'm old, we didn't always have room in our little freezer for ice cream.
Yes, that's what we had, milk and Vernor's poured into the glass together, that is, both at the same time.
I have to do a Boston Cooler recipe. How about two scoops of Strohs vanilla, Verner's to the top, a stick blender, and Ginger Snanpp's, Like a kick in my froth.
The Boston Cooler inspired my all-time favorite cocktail before I started downing whiskeys on the rocks.
2c. Vernors
1 1/2 oz. Vanilla Stoli Vodka
Add ice and stir.
I'm going to try this. Just for fun.
3 1/2 cups water
4 inch long piece of ginger peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons vanilla flavoring
3 teaspoons lemon flavoring
1/2 teaspoon Stevia powder
See above for the rest of the directions.
i thought a boston cooler was a sex technique.....
Only if you're doing it right.
I agree with the Stroh's ice cream but why not the Sanders vanilla?
BTW, another one of my personal favorites is Faygo cream soda and chocolate syrup, a chocolate soda.

My daughter Eleanor an I had really good fun attending your Christmas Carol tonight . A highlight, was to be able to have the great Brian Cox perform his magic, and perform in a art form now rarely done. To further the treat was the WQXR on air performers that used there skilled talents in this special production. The icing on the cake tonight was watching Fred Newman do his amazing sound effects. He is a treasure. Thank you for a wonderful way to start our familys Christamas season. Cheers to all.
Excellent! I grew up on the Basil Rathbone version, and it still brings tears. So did this one.
As an aside, I named my youngest cockatiel Fezziwig. He's a great whistler -- and very jolly. My radio is always tuned to WQXR for my birds' benefit as well as mine. One day, I heard some excited, tuneful whistling. Upon entering the living room, I discovered that Fezziwig was happily whistling along to a Vivaldi recorder concerto.

A Heroine Content Goodbye
Hi everybody,
I'm writing to let you know something that's already pretty obvious. Heroine Content ran from July 2006 to May 2012, and it's done now. Grace wrapped up her involvement in mid-2011, and my 2012 has been so exhausting that I can't manage any regular intellectual or creative pursuits beyond parenting and work. If I do come back to blogging at some point in the future, I'll surely be discussing movies, feminism, anti-racism, and things that blow up, but it's fairly certain that it won't be here.
I am going to miss this space and community so much. Shutting down this blog has been much harder than shutting down my personal blog. I was so pleased that for six years, there was a dedicated space for critical discussion of this entertainment niche. I have always been so grateful when you showed up to read, comment, and guest post. I've learned so much from this group of people I've never even seen. Thank you. And I'm sorry I couldn't keep it going.
The site should stay up as-is for a very long time, since my domain name renewals are automatically billed to my stable credit card in fairly long increments. If I do come back to blogging somewhere else, I'll post a link here so it can pop up in your reader if you stay subscribed. If it doesn't happen after six months, unsubscribe, and I'll see you around somewhere else. If you don't know that I'm reading your blog already, leave me the link in the comments so I can wander by.
All the best,
6 Comments
Thanks for all the great posts. I've really enjoyed reading your perspective and analysis. I totally understand the reasons for closing this site up.
This blog helped me understand my problems with many movies, voicing my issues better than I ever could. Or at least had the patience to try to describe.
Any suggestions on where we should go for movie reviews based on racism, sexism, heterosexism, and other -isms?
although i figured this was coming down the pike, it's still sad to see written confirmation that you're ending blogging activities. this was a great space - so much so, in fact, that it was the first place i turned when i saw Skyfall last week and it left me with so. much. irritation.
best of luck with all your endeavors!
Sorry to see you go. Good luck and good hunting.
Thanks for all your work!
Well, foo! I am really sad to see you go, though as a doctoral student I sure understand the pressure of no free time. Please feel free to swing by my blog and make your wonderfully articulate comments there, should you have a moment to breath. ;)

The well-reviewed Lumia 900 is widely seen as a strong contender, but the current market makes it hard to predict if the Windows Phone 7 device can be hot.
The latest figures from Nielsen Research on the U.S. market placed Windows in the "other" category, not strong enough for its own listing, part of the 8 percent of sales of devices not powered by Android, iOS or Research In Motion's BlackBerry.
comScore's latest report on the U.S. market didn't list Nokia among the top five original equipment manufacturers and estimated Microsoft's share at 3.9 percent, down 1.3 percent from November.
Could This Be the Magic?
The $99, Lumia 900, will launch Friday night for availability Sunday with great fanfare at a Times Square event in New York City. The phone is 4G LTE compatible and comes with an 8-megapixel camera, but a single-core processor (1.4 GHz Scorpion) at a time when some rivals are already packing quad-core CPUs.
Some analysts are raising flags. Deutsche Bank's Kai Korschelt, in a research note cited by Business Week, said success in the U.S. will depend on carrier AT&T's commitment to the device; without its support sales could be as little as 140,000 per quarter, as opposed to a potential of 680,000.
In an interview with C|Net, Jeff Bradley, the vice president of AT&T's wireless department, said the carrier was making the Lumia 900 a centerpiece of its marketing, saying "Before you walk into the store, you know this is our hero phone."
We asked Ramon Llamas, a senior research analyst with IDC's Mobile Devices Technology and Trends team who has already had a hands-on look at the Lumia 900, for his take.
"The display is gorgeous," he said of the 4.3-inch, 800x480 pixels Super AMOLED Plus capacitive ClearBlack touchscreen. "It really stands out compared to other phones, especially in that I can see how clear the screen is in direct sunlight."
One of Nokia's commercials contrasting the Lumia with a rival presumed to be Apple's iPhone, showing a facetious "Smartphone Beta Test" shows an unnamed company's executives mulling their product's inability to display well in sunlight and concluding that users should just stay inside when using it.
No More Round Pegs
Llamas, who sees the Lumia as a "very compelling handset" said it shows that Finland-based Nokia has learned that handsets made for foreign markets do not sell well in the important U.S. market. "Nokia's previous strategy was to take a phone launched in another part of the world and try to force-fit it here in the U.S., like putting round pegs in a square hole."
The analyst added that the $99 price tag made the Lumia 900 an even more compelling offering.
"If you have a family plan, for the price of one 16-gig iPhone you can get two 16-gig Lumia 900s," Llamas said.
On the down side, though, he noted that the Windows Phone Marketplace still trails in available apps.
While in the past Microsoft may not have invested to the fullest extent possible in promoting Windows phones, there was little choice but to do so now.
"For Nokia this is a critical step toward regaining a position here in the U.S., one of the leading markets worldwide," Llamas said. "For Microsoft, the stakes are perhaps a little bit higher."

The MacBook Pro Review (13 & 15-inch): 2011 Brings Sandy Bridge

What About The 13?
Apple's new 13-inch MacBook Pro received the biggest upgrade of the lot. Last year Apple opted against moving the 13-inch model to Arrandale and instead gave it a beefy GPU and a mildly evolved Core 2 Duo CPU. The presumed public reasoning was Apple didn't like Arrandale's GPU performance and needed a two chip solution to maintain the platform's size hence the NVIDIA GT 330M + Intel Core 2 Duo setup. Internally I'm wondering if there was a small amount of corporate politics being played there. Apple used to get a discount on Intel CPUs in exchange for exclusivity, that agreement expired with Nehalem. When Nehalem hit, Apple had to pay the same price as everyone else for CPUs. Now does the 2010 Core 2 based 13-inch MacBook Pro make more sense? Keeping Intel's flagship CPU out of Apple's highest volume MacBook Pro had to hurt. I wonder if Apple got discounted pricing on Sandy Bridge as a result...
Evolution of the 13-inch MacBook Pro | Early 2011 | Mid 2010 | Late 2009 |
CPU | Intel Core i5 2.3GHz (DC) | Intel Core 2 Duo 2.40GHz (DC) | Intel Core 2 Duo 2.26GHz (DC) |
Memory | 4GB DDR3-1333 | 4GB DDR3-1066 | 2GB DDR3-1066 |
Video | Intel HD 3000 (integrated) | NVIDIA GeForce 320M (integrated) | NVIDIA GeForce 9400M (integrated) |
Optical Drive | 8X Slot Load DL DVD +/-R | 8X Slot Load DL DVD +/-R | 8X Slot Load DL DVD +/-R |
Screen Resolution | 1280 x 800 | 1280 x 800 | 1280 x 800 |
SD Card Reader | Yes | Yes | Yes |
FireWire 800 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
ExpressCard/34 | No | No | No |
Battery | 63.5Wh | 63.5Wh | 60Wh |
Dimensions (W x D x H) | 12.78" x 8.94" x 0.95" | 12.78" x 8.94" x 0.95" | 12.78" x 8.94" x 0.95" |
Weight | 4.5 lbs | 4.5 lbs | 4.5 lbs |
Price | $1199 | $1199 | $1199 |
While the 15-inch MacBook Pro is quad-core only, the new 13 is strictly dual-core. You get two options: a 2.3GHz or 2.7GHz dual-core Core i5 or Core i7. In Intel speak it's the Core i5-2410M or the Core i7-2620M (it's no wonder Apple doesn't list model numbers for these things).
The 2011 13-inch MacBook Pro Motherboard
Apple 13-inch 2011 MacBook Pro CPU Comparison | ||||
2.3GHz dual-core | 2.7GHz dual-core | |||
Intel Model | Core i5-2410M | Core i7-2620M | ||
Base Clock Speed | 2.3GHz | 2.7GHz | ||
Max SC Turbo | 2.9GHz | 3.4GHz | ||
Max DC Turbo | 2.6GHz | 3.2GHz | ||
GPU Base Clock Speed | 650MHz | 650MHz | ||
GPU Max Turbo | 1.2GHz | 1.3GHz | ||
L3 Cache | 3MB | 4MB | ||
AES-NI | No | Yes | ||
VT-x | Yes | Yes | ||
VT-d | No | Yes | ||
The primary differences between these two parts are clock speed, L3 cache size and AES-NI support once again. The 2.3GHz Core i5 lacks AES-NI, has a 3MB L3 cache and can only turbo up to 2.9GHz. The 2.7GHz Core i5 has AES-NI, a 4MB L3 cache and can turbo up as high as 3.4GHz.
I verified turbo frequencies on the 2.7GHz 13-inch. The highest I saw single core turbo hit was 3.4GHz, and dual core turbo was good for 3.2GHz. There's absolutely no funny business going on here, the dual-core 2.7 is allowed to hit its maximum frequencies.
You'll notice that the 2.7GHz DC chip has the same max single core turbo as the 2.3GHz QC chip from the upgraded 15-inch MacBook Pro. In practice this means that for light workloads the upgraded 15 won't feel any faster than the 13 (or that the 13 will feel as fast as the 15 depending on how you look at it). I'm talking about things like web page load times and application launch/install times. There may even be a slight performance advantage for the 13-inch setup as it's able to turbo up to higher frequencies easier than the quad-core 15. Crank up the threads and you've got a different story entirely of course. There's no replacement for more cores on highly threaded workloads.

Its a shame that their base 15 inch, a 2000 dollar laptop, has a 256MB card by default. Even for non-gamers, that's starting to become a bottleneck. Especailly as this "pro" machine will make it into the hands of creative professionals, doing video work, rendering, mudbox, etc.
Interesting about the performance differences in the HD3000 and 320M under Windows vs OSX. Reply -

When we say that, we're just referring to the Sandy Bridge (SNB) GPU. Essentially it's shorthand for the Intel HD Graphics 3000.

The baseline 15" MBP is $1800, not $2000.
In any case, it is an unusual update. Usually the performance delta between MBPs hasn't been so extreme. The last generation had a common GPU between all 15" models, the main difference being video RAM. Now they have completely different GPUs, one being REALLY fast and the other not much better than the one that was in the models from last year. Reply -

Dear, please consider approximately 9.5% US Sales Tax on $1,799. Then total price reaches to $2,000 approx Reply -

There is no such thing as US Sales Tax, only state and local sales taxes. State rates range from a low of 0% to a high of 8.25% (I don't happen to know the range of local sales taxes). Adding 9.5% to the price of a computer seems completely arbitrary. Reply -

Chip maker Sigma Designs (SIGM) this afternoon reported fiscal Q3 revenue below expectations but also delivered a smaller-than-expected net loss per share.
Revenue in the three months ended in October fell 49%, year over year, and 15% from Q2′s level, to $39.7 million, yielding a net loss per share, excluding some items, of 8 cents.
Analysts had been modeling $42.9 million and a 23-cent loss.
CEO Thinh Tran attributed the drop in revenue to sales of "second-generation media processor and connectivity products," which he noted have lower average selling prices.
Management will hold a conference call with investors at 5 pm, Eastern time, and you can catch it here.
Sigma shares are unchanged in late trading unchanged at $6.97 in after-hours.

If you want to know more about them, follow the links below or contact us via phone (0121 414 7219) or email (email@example.com). Social processing We are currently seeking two-month to six-year-old children for participation in brainwave studies of social processing. If you decide to participate in this research, you will be asked to bring your child to our laboratory for a one hour visit. We will place a head net that records brainwaves on your child's head while he or she watches pictures of faces and objects or listens to sounds made by people and sounds made by objects. The goal of this research is to understand the processing of social and non-social information in normal children, as well as in people with social disorders such as autism. Project leader: Joe McCleery Word learning We are investigating how one-to-two-year-old infants learn new words. The questions we are interested in include: What makes word learning easier or difficult for infants. What are the cues that infants use to infer meaning of new words. How infants integrate information from speech and gesture. This is a multinational project and our collaborators are: Mutsumi Imai (Keio University, Japan) Janet Werker (University of British Columbia, Canada) Ayumi Matsuo (Sheffield University, UK) Lettia Naigles (University of Connecticut, USA). Our research is funded by ESRC and BBSRC. Project leader: Sotaro Kita Join us for lunch! If you are coming to the Infant and Child Laboratory to take part in a study, why not have lunch with us while you are here? Dr Blissett is about to set up a study which looks at how parents introduce new foods to their children. We know that children vary in how readily they will try new foods, from the child who refuses any new foods to the child who will try everything. Parents also vary in the strategies they use to encourage their children to try new things. This study is designed to look at the strategies that parents use, and how they interact with characteristics of the child to encourage trying new foods. You can take part in these studies if your child is between 12 months and 5 years old. You would come to the lab for a lunchtime or afternoon meal, during which time you will be asked to introduce a new food to your child. You may be asked to do this as you would normally do it, or we may ask you to try one of our 'test' strategies. The new food is likely to be something bland such as tofu or ackee (fruit). You would be video recorded whilst eating and would be asked to fill in some questionnaires about yourself and your child. If you are interested in taking part, please contact the Infant and Child Laboratory and we will send you further information about the study as soon as it is ready to begin. Of course, if you enquire about the study, you are under no obligation to take part. Project leader: Jackie Blissett Bilingual language development We are conducting a study on bilingual language development. It aims to establish standard language tests for typically developing bilingual children in order to be able to detect language development delay in bilingual children. For that purpose, we are seeking to establish standard scores for typically developing bilingual children in common language development tests: a vocabulary questionnaire that parents fill in (Oxford CDI), a vocabulary picture task (BPVS III), a word production task (SETK), and a comprehension task (a component of the Preschool Language Scales III). Parents are also asked to fill in an additional questionnaire regarding, for instance, the exposure of their child to both (or more) languages and the number of siblings. We are happy to conduct these tasks in your home or in our Infant and Child Laboratory (ICL) at the University of Birmingham. If you are interested in taking part, please contact the Infant and Child Laboratory. Project leader: Andrea Krott

The European Parliament today published its Report on online gambling in the internal market calling for a balanced and EU compliant approach when regulating the market.
The European Parliament Resolution contains more than 50 policy statements directed towards the market, the European Commission and the Member States.
The Resolution elaborates on 5 different topics: consumer protection, compliance with EU law, administrative cooperation, money laundering and integrity of sports.
For example, the European Parliament calls for:
Specific nature of the online gambling sector and consumer protection
Compliance with EU law
Member States have the right to determine how the offer of online gambling services is to be organised and regulated at national level, and the right to enforce all measures they consider necessary against illegal gambling services, BUT by observing the basic EU Treaty principles
The Commission should continue to launch infringement procedures against those Member States that appear to breach EU law
to look into and addressing the problem of tax avoidance by authorised operators who provide online gambling services on the EU market but have their registered offices in tax havens within or outside the EU;
Member States that choose to open up their online gambling sector must provide for a transparent and legally certain licensing application procedure based on objective and non-discriminatory criteria, in full compliance with EU law and with sufficient and strict citizen and consumer protection
Administrative cooperation
action to combat match-fixing must comply with national and European data protection laws and regulations;
to work in close collaboration with all stakeholders, including the gambling industry and consumer organisations;
to bring national tax regimes for gambling services into line with one other;
to allow operation of a gambling company within a Member State jurisdiction only when said company does not operate in contravention of the law in another Member State
Money laundering
to extend the provisions of the Anti-Money Laundering Directive to include all forms of gambling;
all the online gambling companies operating in the EU area need to be registered as legitimate entities in the EU;
to engage in solid KYC mechanisms. Advantage can be taken of existing and developing online structures, such as online bank and credit-card verification systems
Integrity of sports
to initiate a code of conduct containing a general ban on all staff involved in sporting events who may have a direct influence on the result from placing bets on their own matches or events.
to have all sports governing bodies commit to good governance practices in order to reduce the risk of falling victim to match-fixing;
Member States and gambling operators to ban all forms of live sports betting;
to have an obligation for cooperation and exchange of information on suspicious activities at national as well as European level, among sports bodies, public authorities, Europol and Eurojust, in order to combat criminal cross-border online gambling activities;
to identify and prohibit online betting operators engaged in illegal activities such as, inter alia, match-fixing or betting on junior competitions involving minors and expects the online gambling industry to respect this ban through self-regulation;
to consider a ban on all forms of spot fixing (sic), such as gambling on corner kicks, free kicks, throw-ins and yellow cards

The recently released Fedora 17 comes with improved support for open vswitch. It includes packages for installing open vswitch as well as libvirt support for managing open vswitch under KVM. Open vswitch is an interesting project providing a multilayer software switch that provides enterprise grade virtual switching technology and the emerging and popular openflow protocol for managing networks.
When it comes to virtualization open vswitch is attractive because it provides the ability for a single controller to manage your virtual network across all your servers. It is also very useful in easily allowing for live migration of virtual machines while maintaining network state such as firewall rules, addresses and open network connections for example. This makes it scalable to large virtual networks making it especially valuable in cloud computing which is why companies like openstack and Nicira ( which was recently acquired by vmware ) have decided to support open vswitch.
As of linux kernel 3.3 the open vswitch module has been included in the mainline kernel which speaks to its value. There are two main components to open vswitch; a control plane in userspace for making routing decisions and a data plane for forwarding packets. The kernel module is what is responsible for forwarding packets similar to the linux bridge module.
Virtual networking with KVM hypervisor has traditionally been done using linux bridging which performs well but is not designed for virtual networking and therefore poses some integration and management challenges. These challenges apply not only to KVM but other linux based hypervisors as well. Open vswitch now provides in kernel support for comparable packet forwarding performance as well as allowing for scaling across a large number of servers while providing ease of management through a central controller.
Fedora 17 now provides packages for installing the userspace components of open vswitch. To install open vswitch under Fedora 17 simply type the following command to install open vswitch.
# yum install openvswitch
The open vswitch kernel component is already shipped with Fedora 17 and you can use the following command to confirm that your kernel is configured for supporting open vswitch.
grep OPENVSWITCH /boot/config-`uname -r`
This is usually installed as a loadable module as shown from the snapshot below.
Fedora 17 also comes with a python based GUI tool for monitoring your open vswitch instances called ovsdbmonitor. To install just type the following command.
yum install ovsdbmonitor
Below is a snapshot of the main GUI window when its launched. You can launch by typing ovsdbmonitor at the command line or by Clicking on System Tools -> Open vSwitch DB Monitor. This will bring up the initial window introducing the monitor.
Acknowledge by clicking OK and the main monitor window will be launched as shown below.
I will take a closer look at using this tool in a follow up post.
Fedora 17 provide scripts which make it easy for getting openvswitch up and running. First thing you need to do is run the ovs-ctl start script which loads the required open vswitch kernel module and does some other initial startup routines such as creating your open vswitch database and running daemons.
/usr/share/openvswitch/scripts/ovs-ctl start
Two daemon processes are usually started as shown from the ovs-ctl status command below:
Next create a bridge using the open vswitch command line control tool ovs-vsctl with the following command. The name of the bridge in my example is ovsbr0.
ovs-vsctl add-br ovsbr0
You can confirm it's created by issuing the following command.
ovs-vsctl list-br
At this point you can configure your KVM virtual machine to use your new open vswitch bridge. I'm going to show an example using virtual machines that use libvirt for management. The first way is to edit the libvirt xml file describing your virtual machine so that it looks like the following.
<interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:71:b1:b6'/> <source bridge='ovsbr0'/> <virtualport type='openvswitch'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface>
The other way of doing this ( which is my preference ) is using a tool like virt-manager to modify your network settings. There's a hack though to setting your virtualport type to openvswitch if you use the virt-manager method. Edit your virt-manager machine so that your network device has settings like the following in order to set your virtual port type to openvswitch. Make sure and apply your setting so that it's written to your xml configuration file.
Now switch your source device type and specify your shared device to be your open vswitch bridge like shown below and make sure you apply the configuration again.
Your KVM virtual machine is now configured to use your open vswitch bridge. For access to your LAN you'll have to add your physical interface to your open vswitch bridge with a command similar to the following.
ovs-vsctl add-port ovsbr0 eth0
You are now bridged to your LAN and you should have connectivity from your virtual machine to your local network.
Fedora 17 makes it a lot less painful to not only get open vswitch up and running but also integrated with KVM. Another nice feature of Fedora 17 is that you don't have to worry about open vswitch kernel module compatibility with the older linux bridge module for your KVM virtual machines *if* you're using libvirt for managing your virtual machines. This is because the version of libvirt shipped with Fedora 17 has support for open vswitch. Obviously this post is very distro specific but I imagine it will be similar for other recent releases of other linux distros.
Give it a try post any comments or questions you have
Does this openvswitch version support GRE tunnel? How do you configure vlan on the vnic? via ovs-vsctl or virt-manager?
Yes it does support GRE. See this link to feature page.
VLANs are controlled using ovs-vsctl . Planning to do a post on vlan usage.
It seems this feature page is only about the complet openvswitch, not the one in the kernel, which doesn't support GRE, it's not really clear. Do you succeed to create a GRE tunnel using openvswtich on Fedora??
Actually I have not tested GRE only basic bridging. I've only just begun taking a serious look at open vswitch. I'll do some testing and see what features are available.
Looking forward to your post on VLANs and whether or VLANs can be looked after entirely in libvirt or not. If you're scaling up to hundreds of VLANs I can't see how using fake bridges will scale. Would be interested to hear about any large scale IaaS deployments using KVM/OVS.
It uses the upstream kernel module, which does not have GRE tunneling support. To get GRE tunnel support, you would have to recompile a compatible kernel module from the Open vSwitch project itself.
i already worked with OVS, n now want to create some QoS on it.
i'm using kernel 3.2.0-27, but my QoS didn't work properly.
in my case, do i have to upgrade my kernel in 3.3...?
I've been trying for a few days to get QEMU networking and this page has got me the furthest yet... however, I'm still not there. Maybe I've missed something along the way, but I think I've followed the above recipe for the letter...
When I get to the point of attaching the switch to the main eth0 network controller, I find I gain access to the main network from the VM I have configured, but then at the same time, I lose connectivity to the host machine (which is kind of important).
Is there no way to set up the switch to tap the eth0 controller, rather than taking it over entirely? Or is there another step needed in order to reconfig the host to talk via the vSwitch?
Sven Lankes 2012-05-03 16:44:20 EDT
On a machine that has it's OVS-Setup configured through
old-fashioned network-scripts (no NetworkManager) the network
doesn't come up after boot because openvswitch isn't started
until *after* the network scripts try to configure the ovswitch.
I am a student at the University of Houston and I am currently doing a project on OVS and at this point I have it set up using Fedora 17. I start the service, setup a bridge and configure all ports to connect through the bridge. My next step is to hopefully use the OVSDB Monitor tool to pull information from the OVS. I have it installed on the same host that has the OVS. My question is whether I can run this tool on the same host and monitor it locally instead of remotely. If so what would be the steps to take to set it up and make it connect locally? What exactly is the SSH password, is this the root password of the host or my individual password? If I connect it locally do I put the loop back address or one of the ports IP address? Also do I need to run any commands to configure the OVS to connect to the tool or does the tool make the connection once I put the IP address and password? Any help is greatly appreciate it.
Thank You,

It works for me.

Hotels We Love - Dean Street Townhouse
Karen Walker | January 4th, 2011
Photo Courtesy of Dean Street Townhouse
With a dream location right in the middle of Soho, The Soho House owned Dean Street Townhouse is my favourite of the many great hotels in London.
The four story Georgian townhouse mixes cosmopolitan cool with Georgian elegance and cosy homeliness. In two words: chic Nana.
As with everything in London there's history. It was once home to great British artist William Hogarth, and later, as The Gargyle Club a regular spot for Fred Astair and later, Francis Bacon.
The 39 rooms range from "broom cupboard" to spacious, the house parlour is elegantly homely, the reception cosy and chic.
The ground floor restaurant is a great place at any time of day.

Ecology Jabs / VaccinationsHI,
I'm fresh out of University with an Ecology degree, I was wondering what vaccinations I will need or will be benifical for me entering the Ecology / Conservation job market? I have already been immunised for Hep B. Thanks
AFAIK nothing special. If you have to go in some weird places for work, them it will be time to worry about it.

Musica Intima to perform in White Rock
The breathtaking harmonies of Vancouver vocal ensemble Musica Intima will be showcased this Friday, 8 p.m. at First United Church in White Rock.
With a reputation as Canada's most exciting vocal ensemble, Musica Intima has had an influence that is being felt in choirs all across North America.
It's not just that a 12-voice group is more manageable in achieving a tight vocal cohesion – and that the self-directed Musica Intima is rooted in a highly democratic dynamic.
There's also been a conscious effort during the group's 20-year history, baritone Peter Alexander agreed, to get away from the heads-in-books stereotype of choral performance.
"We're always looking for something to add a theatrical element to what we do," he said. "There are lots of different standing arrangements and lots of interaction between us and the audience."
Although none of its original singers still perform with the group, several are active board members, ensuring a continuity of vision, he said.
One of the highlights will be the extended work Birdsong by B.C.'s own Edward Henderson, guitarist of the rock group Chilliwack.
Tickets are $30 at the door or $25 in advance at www.tickets.surrey.ca
