Intel Dismisses 'x86 Tax', Sees No Future For ARM 406
from the end-of-the-road dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
You know, we had the same argument with RISC versus CISC architecture. And we know who lost that one. Badly. And the reason for that is because the bandwidth outside the processor, the I/O, is so damnably slow compared to what's possible on the die itself. That's why the data transfers to and from the CPU are only about 1/30th or less the speed at which the CPU runs internally. The only logical course of action is to do as much as you can on each byte of data coming off the bus as you can. Besides, look at Nvidia's GPU cores: They throw hundreds of cores onto the die, but it eats hundreds of watts as well. Massively parallel and simple instruction sets don't appear to translate into energy savings.
In terms of market share CISC isn't even close to touching RISC. Every ARM processor is RISC. It's not just smartphones and tablets you need to consider, but PMPs, consumer routers, and an unfathomable number of other devices that all use ARM (Advanced RISC Machine, previously Acorn RISC Machine).
Intel won the CPU wars because of manufacturing, not because of a superior instruction set.
There's nothing inherently "superior" about ARM or PPC instruction sets.
Each has its strengths and weaknesses and prescribed methods of capitalizing on the former while working around the latter.
Is x86, possibly, more inelegant than ARM or PPC? Maybe. Then again, what exactly is so elegant about a "catch all" platform where the basic processor architecture can change wildly between manufacturers, leading one to require many "flavors" of code simply to cover multiple vendor platforms?
x86 may be ugly and hackish. But it's probably THE best documented platform in history and has very VERY few platform segregation points.
Power-wise the argument is right. There's very little difference between the two instruction sets that makes one more power efficient than the other. However in practice the difference is that most Intel x86 family chips are optimized for high performance (desktop) where as most ARM chips are optimized for cost and efficiency (low power embedded systems, phones, etc). ARM probably has more experience in the chip design in making things smaller but as it ramps up into faster desktop or tablet oriented CPUs it is going to lose out more.
It really does come down to software ultimately I think. Software needs to do minimal work if it wants to save power; stop checking the net every minute to see if there's an update, put the CPU to sleep when not in use, use interrupts instead of polling, do more in a compiled low level language and less in a byte code interpreted language or scripting language, keep things small, and don't let Microsoft touch you. As soon as you start demanding the ability to run MS Office then you are giving up on power savings.
Phoronix just did an article on 6 clustered Panda boards (Cortex A9) [phoronix.com] VS the other guys. It's worth a read.
While this is true frankly its only been fairly recently that either AMD or Intel gave a crap about power, and look at how far they've come? Intel has gotten Atoms to less than 3w, AMD has gotten dual cores AND a decent GPU down to 9w in the C Series bobcats, and of course the Intel CULV Core chips can do a scary amount of processing on I believe their latest are sub 10w. Now according to ARM their A9 duals are just a hair under 2w [arm.com]. that of course isn't counting the chips like the hardware decoders typically found with ARM because it just can't do as many IPCs as X86.
So I'd say as folks demand more and more performance out of their mobile devices the advantage will probably swing to Intel.Tthey have the fabs and have been able to shrink quicker than anybody else so 1 or 2 more shrinks and its gonna be pretty damned close and with such a huge IPC difference between X86 and ARM in a damned close race I'm sure many would rather have the faster Intel chip, AMD will most likely be stuck at the niche they are now, at least as long as they stick with the faildozer "half a core" design so that just leaves Intel and ARM and with the money, the fabs, and the R&D budget that Intel has i think it'd be crazy to call it for ARM at this stage of the game.
After all it wasn't too long ago that everyone was making netburst space heater jokes and look how quickly that situation changed. I seriously doubt Intel is gonna sit this one out and when looking at their past record there is no reason to think they can't make a chip that'll compete.
Simply put, as Intel has no standing in the ARM market (and AMD has now), Intel has every motivation to distort the facts.
That said, there is indication that while x86 is not in principle more power-hungry than ARM,in practice, on silicon, it is today. The main reason is that it requires more chip area and more complex circuitry, which in practice leads to higher power consumption because of communication and signal distribution overheads and because complex circuits are far harder to optimize, not only for power consumption. Again, that does not mean that in principle it is infeasible. But note that larger chip area is also a strong argument against x86 if size matters.
There is also the fact that low-power ARM is more energy efficient than low-power x86 when you look at the market. So maybe this person is just saying that Intel messed up and failed to make good low-power x86 implementations while ARM did not. Looking back at power-disasters like the P4, this would be plausible as well. If, on the other hand, I look at CPUs like the AMD LX800 x86 offering, (e.g. used in the Alix boards), these are pretty power efficient and may even get into ARM ranges. They are pretty slow at full load though and have a large chip area.
So my impression is that the Intel person just said that while they do not have any offering comparable to ARM, it is their fault and not a fundamental problem of x86. I am unsure this is right, although I certainly agree that Intel does not have a leg to stand on in the market for power-efficient CPUs.
The processor architecture is not wildly different between manufacturers. The System On Chip designs in which the CPU is just one element is what makes them different. Should Intel produce custom x86 SoC you can expect the same.
Intel is producing x86 SoCs (medfield) and yes, they are not PC compatible.
There's nothing inherently "superior" about ARM or PPC instruction sets.
Superior to x86? Sure there is. x86 is a mish mash of instructions many of which hardly anyone uses except for backwards compatibility, but that still cost real estate on the CPU die. That's real estate that could be spent on bigger cache or more registers. ARM is a much better instruction set by comparison.
But that is like saying "Linux beats Windows if you count routers' which is probably true, except in both cases you are talking about tiny low margin embedded that while might be good from a numbers game frankly isn't a market one should be chasing. Its like how Apple doesn't make any of the low rent stuff yet is the richest company last i checked, you get that way by getting the good profit markets, not the low end crap ones.
In the end what will probably matter the most is money and despite the bigger numbers for embedded ARM Intel has it and ARM don't. Money gets you fabs, money gets you R&D, and frankly with the amount of both Intel has it can simply win by continuing on the current path. Both the CULV chips and the Atoms are dropping every rev, the IPC Intel has been getting with each new chip is just insane, and everyone wants their mobile devices to do ever more stuff, all of that plays straight into Intel's hands.
So I wouldn't be counting them chickens because after all ARM could keep every router and PMP on the planet and STILL lose, because if Intel can deliver sub 5w chips that can do HD video and play games and do all the other things folks want to do? I seriously doubt it'll be hard for them to sell it to the masses. Hell most folks don't even know what ARM is but they have sure seen plenty of "bong bong ba bong" Intel inside commercials.
If you read the article, Bell keeps on going back to the manufacturing process as Intel's main advantage. He says things like, "our competitors are going to have trouble making it to the 9nm scale." That's where their advantage is, and he knows it.
So basically he has a more efficient engine, but rather than give customers a more efficient car he adds lots of unnecessary weight that provides no benefit to users, so that the overall package isn't any better than what everyone else is offering.
If he put that more efficient engine, in a car as lightweight as everyone else's then customers would benefit from a superior product.
You and the other poster seem to be forgetting ONE thing, which is nobody gives a shit how low the power draw is if it can't do what they want and what people WANT is MOAR, MOAR HD, MOAR games with MOAR graphics, MOAR MOAR MOAR.
We must have a LOT of puppies using AC accounts here now, because they sure don't remember their history. this is the EXACT SAME THING we went through on X86, with people happy for years with weak ass chips and then suddenly everybody wanted sound, then they wanted games, then video, then HD video, just one after another. people now want to be able to do a hell of a lot more than just email with their mobile devices, they want to watch videos, play the latest games, use it as a PMP, and ALL of that takes MOAR POWER.
ARM isn't "magical" and its been needing more and more extras like HD decoder chips to share the load because it simply can't get enough IPC to do the job on its own. That problem is only gonna get worse, as screens get bigger and HD, games get more complex and have better graphics, and the same fact is when it comes to doing all those tasks Intel can simply stomp ARM when it comes to IPC.
So i have NO doubt ARM is gonna run into a wall, just as X86 ran into the heat barrier at 4GHz only with ARM it'll probably be the "too many cores" problem. We are already seeing 4 and 5 core ARM chips, trying to squeeze more performance out of the chip, but you can only go so far that way. The simple fact is the amount of IPC one gets on even the lowest end Atom now is truly insane compared to ARM. Look at the benches [anandtech.com] and you'll see the Atom for smartphones does a hell of a lot more for equal or less power than ARM. And remember this is just their first try, imagine what they will have after a couple of shrinks and a refresh?
Any superscaler processor is going to be doing instruction conversion, this includes RISC instruction set processors. The micro-ops in Intel processors convert to are less than RISC instructions. Once you start implementing things like Tomasulo the traditional advantages of RISC are eroded. If this was n't the case Intel would have never been able to leverage their process advantage to get better performance whilst retaining the x86 instruction set.
In a high performance processor instruction set is irrelavant since 80%+ of the die area is cache any way.
The instruction decoder is such an absurdly tiny part of a modern CPU that it really doesn't matter.
Not true. It is quite a small part, but it is the part that you can not turn off or put in a low power state as long as the CPU is doing anything. This is why it becomes important on low-power systems: it's a constant power drain. Big FPUs and SIMD units draw a lot more power, but they draw almost nothing when executing scalar integer code.
CISC often has the ultimate advantage simply because it makes better use of the code cache.
If you're comparing to something like the Berkeley RISC or Alpha architecture, yes. If you're comparing to ARM... not so much. In the comparisons I've done, on both compiler-generate code and hand-written assembly, ARM and x86 are within 10% of each other in terms of code size with ARM smaller in most cases. Note that this was comparing ARM to x86 and x86-64. For a modern ARM core, you would use the Thumb-2 instruction set, which is typically about 30% smaller, and 50% smaller in the best case.
The price one pays for pursuing any profession, or calling, is an intimate knowledge of its ugly side. -- James Baldwin

The Central Bureau of Investigation has registered several cases pertaining to the pilferage and adulteration of petroleum products, PDS kerosene and spurious drugs during a week-long nationwide special drive.
The agency carried out 85 joint surprise checks in coordination with oil companies and has so far registered 11 cases regarding adulteration of petroleum products.
The CBI's Delhi anti-corruption branch has registered five cases against a Meerut-based firm and four Jhajjar-based firms in connection with the diversion of naphtha, pentane, special boiling point solvent and other petroleum products.
These firms bought naphtha, pentane and other petroleum solvents from Kandla port in Gujarat and various units of GAIL for further distillation and sale in the market as per the licence conditions. However, it is alleged that they diverted over 78.45 lakh litres of naphtha and 3,371 metric tonnes of pentane.
Delhi's economic offences unit has registered four cases against three private persons and others on charges of adulteration of petroleum products in different parts of the Capital.
In Chennai, the CBI arrested four persons allegedly involved in the pilferage, adulteration and sale of petroleum products. Another case has been registered in Thiruvananthapuram against a shop owner and unknown oil company officials for pilferage of motor spirit and high-speed diesel oil and its unauthorised possession and sale without valid documents.
Spurious drugs
In the drive against spurious drugs, the CBI, along with the Central Drug Standard Control Organisation, carried out 62 surprise checks across the country. Six cases have been registered in Delhi, Nagpur and Chennai.
During the checks, it was discovered that spurious and expired medicines were being supplied to the Central government Health Scheme and other government hospitals. At many places, spurious medicines, particularly Ayurvedic drugs, were being manufactured without a proper licence.
The CBI has registered a case against a resident of Motia Khan in Delhi and others for allegedly manufacturing Ayurvedic oil without a licence. In another case, a Himachal Pradesh-based unit was illegally manufacturing a medicine being supplied to various places through a Delhi-based firm.
The CBI has also booked a Punjab-based herbal pharmacy, a Nagpur-based Ayurvedic company and unknown public servants for allegedly conspiring to cheat the public by selling adulterated and spurious medicines.

I was never a huge fan of the whole fake moustache at weddings thing that was really popular last year. I think mainly because I just didn't 'get' it? I didn't (and still don't) understand what the actual point of it was.
However when it comes to real life moustaches, well that is a completely different matter entirely. This dude has got one seriously awesome 'tache going on..coiffed to perfection wouldn't you say?
Plus his Bride has got some pretty damn cool tattoos so, well, there was no way in hell I wasn't going to share these was there?
The photographer, Katherine, describes this truly rock n roll wedding:
This couple had the most awesome wedding at Kali Kate in Buda. You've seen all the fake mustache weddings where everyone wore a fake mustache -well this groom grew the real thing- which he waxed and combed perfectly.!
Kristin has the best vintage kitchen for shooting still lifes. She's also a great gardener , so of course she did all her own flowers- from the table arrangements to her beautifully simple bouquet of peony tulips.
She had all of her bridesmaids wore vintage inspired red polka dotted 40's dresses. And she had a flower fairy instead of a flower girl!
But the best part was the music, a dj spinning real vinyl where he played a song that her Father sang as a opera singer- a surprise for their Father -Daughter dance and the last song was the cool old Pink Floyd song "Fearless".

I've got a beautiful English wedding to share..and I am rather excited about it because the photographer, Marianne Taylor and I are doing a photo shoot together at the end of this month. I'm such a big poser and I can't wait already (I have even started the prop scouting!)
The reception of Lucy & Richard's wedding took place in the uber chic Northbank Restaurant right on the River Thames with great views of Tate Modern and the Millennium Bridge. I love the look of this venue, so intimate yet stylish, which fits in rather nicely with Lucy's gorgeous grey dress don't you think?
You simply must head over to Marianne's blog to not only check out all the ladies hats (hats are pretty much mandatory at British weddings you see!) but also my absolute favourite detail of the wedding…Bridie the Bridesmaid (yep the doggie!)

Worth going after 5 or to many people?
Worth going after 5 or to many people?
There will be plenty of guests. Fridays are always very busy with locals having their TGIF's there. As further evidence, this board gets pretty empty around 4PM on Fridays. (Sure, people do other things on Fridays, but a good percentage are hitting the park.)
Add to it lingering vacationers, and it will be very busy.
If you like that sort of thing, then by all means go.
But it will be crowded.

What about DCA? Are they testing Monster's Inc? Or is it open?
Yes they are testing Monsters inc. A cool ride with some neat special effects. ive been on it twice and plan to go back today to go on it again. the average wait for it though is an hour. For the last two days thats what its been anyways. Well if you go see you there.
My wife... yes, my dog... maybe, my guitar...never!!!
Forecast is calling for high winds again...so the fireworks may get cancelled like last night.
Well that's disappointing. My wife and I have a babysitter tongiht so we can go see them. She hasn't see the 50th fireworks yet because it's too late for the kids (we live over an hour away).Originally Posted by Super Grover
What are considered high winds? According to Yahoo, they are supposed to be 5-10 mph tonight.
Actually, didn't go after all because my 1 year old got sick. That means there will probably be fireworks.
I went last night
Oh my gosh, it was sooooooo crowded
There was a line for DCA that extended halfway over the esplanade.
Monsters Inc had a hour and a half wait and Tower of Terror was 190!
I did get on a lot of stuff but after the fireworks in Disneyland, wow, it was a mess

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say a man who allegedly had cut off his electronic monitoring device has been arrested again.
Police said they had been looking for 28-year-old Eddie Stokley since he cut off the device Saturday in the 1400 block of Bethel Road in west Charlotte. Stokley had been ordered to wear the device April 8 as part of his pre-trial release. He is facing a rape charge, police said.
Authorities said Stokley was arrested without incident Monday evening.

"Amazing Teacher"
Some people find a reason to complain about everything.. because they are not happy with themselves. Possibly such as the person who left the 1st review here.
I just downloaded this book so I haven't heard it yet but I have listened to several of his other books which are written I spoken by him.. The Art of Power & The Ultimate Universe.. both of which were great. Of those 2, I recommend the Art Of Power... the Ultimate Universe is more for folks a bit deeper into the path.
His English is fine & understandable.. it's better to hear his calming voice in the way he intends to communicate his words. I have listened to & read close to 100 book on zen, buddhism & spirituality & Tich Nhat Hanh is definitely on the top of the list.. He is a very soft hearted communicator with a vary feminine energy which is unique for a male Zen Master.. This is because he is like a walking orb of love & light. That's the best way to describe Tich Nhat Han. Many resonate with his teaching style for this reason. For some, a more aggressive approach is more helpful but I find it a wonderful compliment to other more aggressive zen teachings.
I'm exited to hear more of this amazing Teaches works.
May we each find our way back home..
Endless Bows to Tich Nhat Hanh,
Endless Bows to all beings*
"Seriouse folks.. A MUST READ*"
Amazing teacher! This is one of the BEST teachers I have heard.
Sadly, I feel there's a lot of false zen teachers in the west right now misguiding students.. Many of which hold tittles in various lineages, guiding students, running temples & zendo's.
This book has helped me in so may ways... for one, to see that I was not alone in what I have seen. Master Foyan cuts trough all the BS that was present in his time & is clearly the same situation in our modern era.. His "no apologies" style teachings call it as he sees it, hitting the mark right on the nose.. This book will help anyone who is interest in gaining the eyes to see which Teachers are full of BS & which are not, & help you gain the eyes to see true Dharma for yourself.
If this teacher was alive today, I wouldn't be writing this review because I'd be on my way to his monastery.
If you would rather stop being fooled by false teachers & wake up today, instead of sleeping on your cushion for another 10 years... then this is the book for you!
He even brings up some valid criticism of the "present moment" style teachers that interestingly enough seem to be on the rise again today.
Endless Bows,
May we each find our way*

Final Score: Minnesota 105, Philadelphia 88
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Alexey Shved scored 17 points and Josh
Howard had 16 to lead the Minnesota Timberwolves past the Philadelphia 76ers,
105-88, on Tuesday.
J.J. Barea had 11 points while Derrick Williams, Luke Ridnour and Malcolm Lee
added 10 apiece for the Timberwolves, winners in three of their last four.
"We talked about how every game on the road we have gotten off to good starts,
but we maintained it tonight," Minnesota head coach Rick Adelman said. "The
bench came in and did a terrific job to expand the lead. It was a solid win."
Evan Turner poured in a game-high 19 points and Jrue Holiday had 13 points and
nine assists for the Sixers, who have dropped their last two on the heels of a
three-game winning streak.
Jason Richardson had 14 points, seven rebounds and four assists and Thaddeus
Young chipped in with 13 points in the setback.
"It was a rough game for us," Richardson said. "We did a good job taking away
their main two guys out, but other guys on their team stepped up and that is
how they won the game."
Minnesota shot 59.1 percent from the field in the first quarter, and led 34-21
after the first 12 minutes. Lee's 3-pointer with 4:18 left in the first
sparked an 11-0 run to give the Wolves a 31-19 lead, and a trio of Shved free
throws at the end of the frame put Minnesota up 13.
The Wolves were able to push their lead to 65-47 at the break, thanks to a
10-0 run early in the second quarter. Minnesota led 65-42 with 1:22 left in
the first half, but the Sixers scored the final five points of the stanza to
cut their deficit to 18.
Philadelphia shot just 38 percent in the third period while the Wolves went 9-
for-20 from the floor -- including 4-for-7 from 3-point range -- to push their
lead to 87-67 entering the fourth. The Sixers, though, couldn't make up enough
ground over the final 12 minutes and Minnesota cruised to an easy win.
Game Notes
Minnesota shot 53.2 percent from the field and connected on 13-of-25 from 3-
point range ... The Wolves bench outscored the Sixers' reserves 57-23 ...
Philadelphia was just 5-for-20 from beyond the arc ... Sixers guard Nick Young
did not dress because of a left toe injury.

There has been a lot of information and speculation recently on Doc Rivers and his future in Boston.
So here's another note on that to keep in mind.
Via CNN New England, Rivers says he will definitely step away for a time. "I'm still gonna do it eventually," Rivers said . "Not just for the family. I just think it's healthy. Teachers take sabbaticals to retool, to recharge. I think coaches need to do that as well. So I will."
A lot see this as his last season at the helm of the Celtics are he will likely take at least a year off to watch his son Austin play at Duke. But Rivers said it himself there: It won't just be for the family. Coaching in the NBA is definitely the type of job you can't do if you're not all in and if Rivers feels that way, he'd being doing himself, his family and his organization a favor by stepping away.
Rivers also recently acknowledged that it will be "very difficult" for him to walk away from the Celtics, but like he said above, he'll do it eventually. We'll just have to wait and see if it's this year. Between the uncertainty of even if there will be a next season, this might be a pretty good time to do it. Especially if the Celtics finish on top. But right now, that's all that's on Rivers' mind anyway.

I understand that you need to have some protections in place for the subscriber content but could you provide a way to set a start date that the dynamic feed won't return videos before? The way its setup now makes it impossible to use without having to burn through all the existing videos.
Dig_Douglas's forum posts
@AtomicEdge: This is exactly what I am seeing.
Tried it right now, looks like the same bug occurred when I manually refreshed the feed. I will try again tonight.
Just wanted to chime in that I am seeing the same problem on the HD Quick Looks feed, but not the Subscriber content feed.
@snide: Downloaded the HD video, skimmed through it using Quicktime Player on Lion and didn't see any problems.
I have seen this problem reported in here before, but I am having corruption problems with the downloaded HD videos. Here is a screenshot.
This happens when playing on my 2011 MacBook Pro with the Intel HD 3000 video card using the built in Quicktime Player X with no additional codecs installed. It always occurs during the middle 70% of the video. It does not happen when I play the same files on my PS3. Running the video through HandBrake with the default MP4 settings clears up the problem as well.

Colorado Avalanche (25-27-7) at St. Louis Blues (27-22-9), 8 p.m.
(Sports Network) - Three days ago, the Blues the Avalanche shook up their rosters with a big four-player trade. Thanks to some inclement weather earlier this month, they didn't have to wait long to see their former players in new uniforms.
Colorado hopes to snap a 10-game losing streak this evening when it visits St. Louis tonight in a make-up game at Scottrade Center.
This contest was originally slated to be played on Feb. 1, but severe weather conditions in St. Louis forced the game's postponement. This game takes on even more intrigue after the Avalanche and Blues swapped players on Saturday, with the Blues sending defenseman Erik Johnson and forward Jay McClement to Colorado for forward Chris Stewart and rookie blueliner Kevin Shattenkirk.
Had the Feb. 1 meeting not been postponed, the four players would not have faced their old clubs until the season-series finale on April 5.
"It's pretty weird to come back that soon, but that's part of the business and it's going to be a fun game for sure," Johnson told Colorado's website on Monday.
All four players debuted with their new clubs Saturday, with Johnson and McClement skating in Saturday's 4-0 setback to San Jose that dropped Colorado to 0-9-1 in its last 10 games. It is the franchise's longest slide since relocating from Quebec prior to the 1995-96 season and worst overall since a club-record 14-game skid from Oct. 21-Nov. 19, 1990.
Peter Budaj made 29 saves for Colorado, which has lost five straight on the road and is now 11 points back of the playoff race. St. Louis is also six points up on the Avs in the Western Conference standings.
After a quick debut, Johnson, the top pick of the 2006 draft, and McClement practiced with the Avalanche on Monday, as did center Matt Duchene. Colorado's leading scorer with 21 goals and 47 points, Duchene has missed the past two games with a hand injury but may return tonight.
"I haven't had a chance to talk to our training staff yet, but I would list him as probable for [Tuesday] ... that will be a nice addition back into our lineup. We're obviously a team right now that needs some offense and he certainly can provide that," Avalanche head coach Joe Sacco told his team's website of Duchene.
Colorado also acquired goaltender Brian Elliott from Ottawa on Friday for netminder Craig Anderson, but Elliott has yet to join the team while working on immigration paperwork. Budaj will get the start tonight and is 9-5-0 with a 2.47 goals-against average versus St. Louis.
Budaj will try to extend the Avalanche's six-game winning streak over the Blues, a run that includes just a pair of victories in St. Louis.
Both Stewart and Shattenkirk made their St. Louis debuts in Saturday's 9-3 win over Anaheim, with Stewart scoring twice. They were both also in action last night, a 5-3 setback to Chicago that snapped the Blues' three-game win streak.
Andy McDonald and Brad Boyes scored in the first period to give St. Louis an early lead and Alex Pietrangelo drew his club within a goal in the third after Chicago scored four times in the middle frame.
With Jaroslav Halak on injured reserve with a right hand injury, Ben Bishop made his fourth career start and first since Dec. 18, 2008. However, he gave up four goals on 18 shots and was lifted in the second period for Ty Conklin, who made seven saves.
"I would have liked to have that fourth one back, but I have to make a save there and keep the team in the game," said Bishop.
Conklin had been lifted in favor of Bishop in Saturday's win and it is unknown who will start tonight. The veteran Conklin is 3-4-1 with a 3.07 GAA versus Colorado.
Patrik Berglund had two assists last night and has three goals and four helpers over a six-game point streak for the Blues.
St. Louis, which also traded captain Eric Brewer to Tampa Bay on Friday, is four points back of a possible playoff spot and is 1-1 on a three-game homestand.

'Black Pearl Thornless' blackberry source?
Last year, I ordered a 'Black Pearl Thornless' blackberry from Raintree. It arrived dead. They offered to replace it for free this year, but they just told me they don't have it, and are offering something else in exchange.
I could just accept that it's my fate to never grow 'Black Pearl.' Is it available anywhere? My attempt at googling doesn't turn up any nurseries selling it. If anyone here has a rooted cutting or something to spare, I could trade other plants for it.
What is special about this variety that you wanted it so much? The name sounds real pretty, Black Pearl. I've not heard of it.
I got some Arapaho and Navajo thornless from a local nursery. The Arapaho is quite good and I haven't tasted the Navajo yet, but the berries have set.
Have you googled the variety? There is a site called, Berries Unlimited, I think the name is. Have you tried them?
How about Park Seed and Burpee? They send plants.
I hope you find the variety you are looking for.
Well, the USDA info on it makes it sound appealing. It supposedly has a flavor like the famed marionberry, but is hardier.
Berries Unlimited is sold out.
Here is a link that might be useful: description of 'Black Pearl
Black Pearl is just another name in the "dark" series, black diamond, black satin, obsidian, etc.
Pearl was offered as a clearance item in Raintree's 2011 catalog, a bad sign for future customers. Not offered in the 2012 cat. There are so many new fruit varieties being offered these days, it is hard for any one of them to become a perennial favorite.
Many of those berry varieties will be iffy in zone 5. You might want to try Black Diamond, still available. I have been impressed with the flavor. It is a trailing type that would be easier to cover with mulch in the winter.
Hello Loud,
Thanks for the link to the Black Pearl blackberry. It was interesting to note that they have actual pedigrees for plants. I raised and showed Yorkshire Terriers for quite awhile and of course, dogs have pedigrees, but I didn't think of anything like plants as having them, but it makes sense if one is developing a new variety, they would need to keep track of what was used to do so.
Thanks for answering my questions. I wouldn't think that blackberries that would do well up North would do well down this far South.
We used to be able to ride out to the country and go along fencelines to pick wild blackberries and dewberries, but that is no more. It was a lot of fun with the kids. I don't miss the torn up hands, though. Used to make my hands itch so badly from all the scratches. I do appreciate the thornless blackberries and mine taste very good.
Noss, there's no evidence that 'Black Pearl' would do well in the Northeast where I am either. It was bred for the west coast. I just want to try it as an experiment.
The USDA recently reclassified me from zone 5 to 6, so I'm getting a bit more adventurous in what I try to plant. In gardening, there are never any guarantees anyway.
Noss, the northwest blackberries are what are called dewberries in the south - long trailing canes. I'm not sure why the northwest varieties are not grown in the south, maybe they get too diseased. I'd say they are worth a try, they taste a notch better than the other varieties.
Sakuma didn't have Black Pearl listed, I was looking at their website not long ago. I think they have things at their retail store not on the website and maybe if you call they have other things that can ship.

Historical Traveler Reviews Flemings Mayfair London
Great location - friendly staff
We stayed at the Flemings Mayfair from 19 April - 23 April 2004.
The positives: terrific location, only 2 blocks from the Green Park tube, easy and very pleasant walk through Green and St. James Parks to Buckingham Palace, very convenient for the West End (either by a long walk or by tube). We found all the staff to be quite friendly and helpful. Our room was comfortable, two twin beds (as requested) with a small sitting area. Fine bathroom, though the tub was very deep, use the handles! Plenty of hot water. Never a problem or long wait with the 1 elevator.
Disappointments: buffet breakfast is only a cold breakfast and selection dwindles very quickly. Housekeeping was spotty, especially with the bathroom. Some used towels not replaced, just re-folded. Curtains could have used a vacuuming (very dusty). Maintenance glitch - floor lamp didn't have a bulb. We didn't mind only 5 TV channels, some would. Surprisingly loud street noise, soundproofing not great.
We would stay at the Flemings Mayfair again if we had our size room or larger, though we won't book the buffet breakfast package.
Good Location, Lousy Room
I stayed here in April 2004. I got a last minute deal through a well known website, so only paid �55 per night, instead of the rack rate of �169 for a single. Had I paid the full rate, I would have demanded my money back. In order to get to the room, I had to negotiate a labyrinth of hallways and stairs. Thankfully, I only had one bag with me. The room itself was small and stuffy, with a single bed. I was able to open the window, but never got it to close again. The street outside, was surprisingly noisy, so I ended up switching on the airconditioning to create some white noise, and cool the room down a bit. I was unable to double lock the door, which resulted in a maid coming into my room without knocking, even though I had the "do not disturb" in place. Not all toiletries were replenished on a daily basis, and the washcloth that was there when I arrived, was never replaced. In order to get to the safe in the wardrobe, I had to move the television. There was no minibar and the pay tv option wasn't available. There were only 4 channels, plus CNN. There was only one elevator, and that was broken on one of the days I stayed there. The location of this hotel is excellent, but I wouldn't consider it to be 4 star.
Flemings Mayfair Hotel, Great Location
Clean, fashionable and what a convenient location. Just one-half block off of Picadilly Circle (so not noisy) and one block to Green Park Station (London Underground). It is also one block from the Ritz Hotel which is a pick-up place for any bus tours, the Hop-on, Hop-off bus or the Evans-Evans tours which take day trips outside of London (ie, Stonehedge, Warwick Castle). The price includes breakfast and the concierge(s) are just jumping at the chance to answer any questions you may have. I would stay here again but only if I had some sort of airfare-hotel deal. The board behind reception said it was 269 pounds/night for a double so it is only affordable if your stay is bundled up in some sort of package deal.
We loved it!
I have just returned from a 5 day stay at Flemings with my mother and my 13 year old son. We were given a large twin room with a pull out couch on which I slept quite comfortably. The bathroom was clean and spacious and the buffet breakfast was just lovely. The staff were extremely pleasant and always welcome to answer any queries. We had booked as a package through Virgin Vacations so our breakfast inclusive room rate was astonishing low. We had done a similar but lower priced Virgin package last year at the Barkston Gardens but the small incremental price for Flemings was well worth the investment.
We didn't stay!
After reading the great reviews of the Flemings, we thought we had discovered a "find". We arrived late at night after our trans-Atlantic flight. The lobby of the hotel put me on guard. It was very tired looking and not particularly clean. We were escorted up the elevator and down a long, long hall (which got dirtier the further we went) to the end where two rooms were opened for us. They both were VERY cramped. The furniture was mismatched, old, and some actually broken.
The lock on one door did not work, it's window opened to an air shaft, the heat was blazing and there was no way to turn it down or A.C.. The other room was equally shabby. It's heat was a large,stand-alone unit on the floor that was very loud. The bathroom stank of urine. My husband went back down to the front desk to ask for different rooms - there were none. I made calls to other hotels and got a reservation at 47 Park Street. We left. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. It is too expensive to be this poorly maintained.
Lovely Apartment
My wife and I, together with our teenage daughter and a friend stayed at No. 13 Half Moon Street for 6 nights over New Years. Our penthouse apartment (2 BR, 2 1/2 baths) was lovely. The apartment was quite comfortable, the kitchen was nicely outfitted and the overall setting was wonderful. Set on a quiet street in Mayfair, near to the tube and to wonderful shopping, we could not have been more pleased with our choice. We have stayed at many first class hotels around the world and our apartment at No. 13 did not disappoint.
I love this hotel. The Flemings Mayfair is definitely my choice when staying in London. It's location is fantastic, only a couple minutes walk from Green Park tube station; and Mayfair is a splendid area just to waltz around and do a little bit of window shopping (and starbucks!). The staff are absolutely lovely; you cannot fault them.
Very friendly, helpful, and will go out of their way to help you. I have visited a couple times this year and the rooms I had were comfortable and clean and a place I feel I could relax. My only bad point would be the hotel bar....around �4 for a Cola!?! Would definitely visit again.
Lovely hotel, lovely location!
Stayed at the Flemmings Mayfair hotel April 2002 with my husband. A fantastically located hotel in probably the nicest area of London-just off Picadilly. The nightlife of Soho and Theatreland is a 20-25 minute walk away and Oxford street is about 15 minutes walk away. Green Park is the nearest tube station a few minutes walk away and there are a few small supermarkets within the vicinity for snacks/drinks etc. There is a Hard Rock Cafe a few minutes walk away on Picadilly. Hotel appears to be small but cosy as you walk into the reception area. A porter assists you with your luggage and the lift if required. We had an executive room which was surprisingly small but clean. Decorated in yellow and blue with a small double bed and a sofa plus a nice white and black tiled bathroom with bathrobes. I have to say the bathroom was quite dirty with mould on the tiles and the pipes at the back of the sink and toilet were rusty.
A wonderful hotel!
My sister and I stayed in an apartment at 13 Half Moon Street, a part of the Flemings Mayfair hotel. It was unbelievably wonderful. The apartment was beautifully decorated and everything about the apartment was top notch. From the fresh flowers, basket of fruit and breakfast provisions, they looked after us in a way that we both loved.
We stayed there for three days in early September, 2003, and then two more nights in early October. It was our favorite place to stay in all of England. The staff is wonderful and was extremely accommodating. We got good rates on the two bedroom, two bath apartment with living room and kitchen--keep looking for specials as they can be found. Ask for apartment 704--it's just lovely.
Fleming mayfair hotel
my wife and I just got back from a trip to London. We used to go on a fairly regular basis, but have not been back for approximately 5 years. I checked internet sites this time and discovered the Fleming Mayfair Hotel off of Picadilly Street and five minutes away from the Green Park Tube station. It was an excellent choice. The room was large with a sitting area with sofa, table and chair, plus tv. The bed was a double. The bathroom was nicely appointed. Very smart lobby and commen areas for all guests. The breakfast, which was included with our room rate of 99 pounds per nights was of the highest standard, english breakfast, plus buffet. Our room faced the street which was ok with us, but we live in a city. So street noice even with double glazed windows, book the rear room in the hotel.
