Ikefu - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkI'm really curious to see the 2nd gen full windows tablets with Haswell and what their battery life will be. If they can pull 6+ hours of web browsing life on a Surface Pro 2 I think a lot more people will feel the want to jump in (myself included) Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkAnand should have an article up shortly, but the short story is that at least one laptop manufacturer is realizing something like 40% better battery life on a Haswell Ultrabook. Perhaps their last-gen Ultrabook just wasn't properly optimized, but Anand and I did some investigating today on C-states. On Haswell, he's seeing a lot of time spent in C7 in light workloads; on Ivy Bridge, of the four laptops I looked at today (three Ultrabooks, one beefy laptop), not a single one ever entered into C7. Reply
Darkstone - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkActually throttlestop claims my latitude E6520 with i7-2820QM is spending ~90% of its time in C7, 0% in C6, and wily varying 0-5% in C3. Reply

Those are the default settings, i believe. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkInteresting. I'll have to see what ThrottleStop is saying on the same laptops. Can you run Intel's Battery Life Analyzer and see what it says? (Just select the "C-States" option, start logging, and let the machine idle for a while.)

Darkstone - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkYep: http://tweakers.net/ext/f/D6UORwXdpa44d85zUOHU745Y...
I closed all background programs, switched to balanced profile, and unplugged the adapter. The screen is on 60hz.
Nice too, btw. I can not finally verify that my X25-M is indeed running in DIPM mode, and that my
SD cardreader doesn't enter PCI L1 power state. Let me know if there's anything else. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkSo it looks like IVB will only enter C7 if you're unplugged, but Haswell will do it while plugged in. Interesting. Reply
Krysto - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkYou should watch out for misleading "battery tests" that only test how much time the machine lasts while only playing video. Video playing time != average battery life.
It's possible in video playing Haswell will be better, because of better GPU, but I wouldn't expect much improvement in overall battery life. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkThe results are for Internet surfing, also confirmed with several other battery life tests. Reply
krumme - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkNow the U series with gt3 gpu sans expensive cache, is by far the most interesting of the Haswell lineup, and looks like the optimal perf/w - market proposition.
It will walk all over jaguar 4c 15w part. This is what Haswell was made for and Haswell at its finest. And it caters both to business market, and us who likes to game a little now and then and have the doe to pay for luxury performance.
My IB U on 22nm already seems quite a bit tdp constrained, so the test is interesting. Anyway with broadwell on 14 nm, with added efficiency gain for gpu part it seems they will get there perfectly.
At that time the tablet parts can become interesting. As it is, no way will this work in tablet except the usual halo product. Lay that talk to rest, and anyway who cares. The new Atom is what will handle this.
Haswell is a lot of new high-end tech, and aparently needs a bit a tweaking - its not the most polished product from Intel, but is innovative and forward looking. It just didnt get there all over, but especially the U gt3 parts is stars and looks impressive. Reply
BMNify - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkI believe the Jaguar 4c 15w part is looking to compete with Atom not Haswell. Pricing and performance should reflect this... if AMD ever gets a design win. Reply
bcseime - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkI wonder why there is no dual core i7 M-series with HD 5000-series graphics. Core i7-4600M is probably what the new top-speced rMBP 13" will have installed. I was really hoping that the next rMBP would get a serious upgrade in graphics performance. Reply
Klug4Pres - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkThat will be an Apple-exclusive SKU. Reply
jasonelmore - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link4600m is already 37watts. add iris graphics to that cpu and it's probably gonna pull 45w Reply
tipoo - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkWhich would only be 10w more than the current one uses, and their new cooler can certainly handle that. The battery life at load would be lower, but at idle/casual use is what matters more to most people, and that would still improve. I hope they go for the 45w quad with GT3. Reply
ltcommanderdata - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkhttp://www.macrumors.com/2013/06/02/slimmer-13-ret...
The 13" Retina MacBook Pro is rumoured to be getting slimmer which at first seems contradictory since it really needs more thermal room for a more powerful IGP. However, Intel is also conveniently releasing 28W TDP "U" class processors, which almost seem like officially supported overclocked ultrabook processors with a resulting TDP that's a bit high for ultrabooks. Clearly some OEM requested this option and Apple seems like a good bet. The 28W i7-4558U has a more powerful HD 5100 IGP than the M series despite having a lower TDP. The lower TDP could then enable the 13" Retina MacBook Pro to get even thinner as rumoured. Reply
bcseime - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkYes, that makes sense. Though the lineup will be rather weird with a more expensive retina version that has weaker CPU than the cMBP. I prefer a tad ticker design with a mainstream CPU (with iris pro) instead of this semi ultrabook solution. Reply
ltcommanderdata - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkThere's been reports that the non-Retina MacBook Pro could be retained in its Ivy Bridge configuration which would provide some separation. Apple could also keep the size reduction modest to retain extra thermal room, say from 35W to 30W instead of 28W, so that the the 28W U processors can hit their top turbo bins more consistently and for longer which combined with Haswell microarchitecture improvements means the effective CPU performance doesn't have to decrease even though the outward base clock and TDP are lower. Reply
nunomoreira10 - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkI dont see why the 13 rmbp can,t take a full 47w cpu they surge have the cooling, if the processor wasn't 500$ that yould be my bet, probably some custom solution is in the works. Reply
shiznit - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkbecause it would hurt sales of the overpriced 15" Reply
nunomoreira10 - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkMaybe, still the 15 is a much better deal then the 13 considering specs-price, this would make the 13 stand out much more, professionals still enjoy bigger screens Reply
kapg - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkAll the Core i5's in the U series have the same model/SKU number. Please update. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkFixed. Sorry about that. Reply
rhx123 - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkWhatever happened to si0x or whatever it was?
They made a big deal out of it but I haven't really heard much about it from the tech sites. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkAnand is working on an Ultrabook review/testing where he'll have more to say about power savings. Reply
darthrevan13 - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkVery very interesting, it's better then I expected. Although it's pretty obvious that Intel provided optimized benchmark and game performance scores, the iGPU on the i7-4558U is pretty much on par with the GT 640M LE which was already a pretty capable dGPU on the Razer Edge. I wonder how gaming tablets are going to look now or what hardware will they pack? Will it be slimmer and pack only an Intel CPU with a powerful iGPU or will they go for a Y-series CPU with a dGPU, or maybe neither? I can't wait!
Can you guys please post a 5100 iGPU (i7-4558U) benchmark and an Y-series CPU/iGPU benchmark and battery life test also? I would be very interested in the results. Thank you! Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkI'd love to test the i7-4558U, but we don't have one (yet). As soon as we get a laptop with that CPU, though, you can bet we'll be benchmarking it! Reply
Musafir_86 - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link-Hmm, it's look like next generation Pentiums and Celerons will be based on Atom derivatives (Silvermont et al.): http://techreport.com/news/24884/future-pentiums-c...
-BTW, when we could expect AMD "Richland" (desktop and mobile) review(s)? The NDA/embargo until when?
-Also, will there be any chance for Kabini A6-5200 review? In the nearest time, I mean. :)
Regards. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkWe just need laptops for Richland reviews -- the NDA is long since past, but no one has shipped us a laptop to review. We're working on that.... The same goes for anything with Kabini; the original prototype had a great screen but a lot of other build issues. We need to see what actually gets shipped into the wild now.
As for Celeron and Pentium going to Silvermont, it wouldn't be too surprising, but then we have to wonder what CPUs will actually use the GT1 version of Haswell. Right now, that part seems destined for Pentium and Celeron chips, so maybe we'll see both Silvermont and Haswell Pentiums/Celerons. Really, the separation between Core i3 and Pentium/Celeron is almost entirely caused by clock speed limits imposed on the budget chips, as well as the features turned off (e.g. no Quick Sync on Pentium/Celeron, no Hyper-Threading, no AES-NI....) There's a huge gap between Richland/Trinity and Kabini/Brazos, so if Intel were to shift their low-end stuff to Silvermont it would be more of a comparable fight. Reply
bobbozzo - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkHi Jarred, I saw your article about the Richland 'M' mobile SKUs, but I haven't seen any coverage of the desktop parts, e.g. the A10-6800K, which Newegg already lists as 'in-stock'.
Don't these work in existing motherboards?
Thanks! Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkTechnically the NDA is up at midnight. Go figure. Reply
Arnulf - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkYou have a female deer to pay for it ? Reply
Akaz1976 - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkAre there any Haswell Y based tablets announced yet? or products on those are still expected by Dec this year? Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkI'd assume Acer will update their tablet to a Haswell part. I'm not sure of any others right now. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkThe only architecture for CPU's that excites me now is Bay Trail, mostly because of how huge a leap it should be over the Atom from half a decade ago. Still, at least it is exciting in as far as what mobile devices it should enable.
Haswell is like the golden child of a parent trying to copy what the rebel sibling is doing and failing to do so convincingly because he's too obsessed with also having performance. Reply
tipoo - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkIt's a real shame none of the dual cores can come with GT3, that's where it would benefit most, as they would fit best in 13" laptops. Reply
tipoo - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkHow does it make sense that the low voltage ultrabook parts get the 5000/GT3, while the high wattage dual cores get the gimped GT2 which is just a bit better than the old 4000? Reply
ssiu - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkditto -- illogical and disappointing Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkI suspect Intel will gauge interest and announce more SKUs later this year. This is really just the first salvo. Also, Intel wants to sell more ULV chips at higher margins, so they don't want to kill sales on Ultrabooks with better performance, lower cost M-series chips. Don't forget that Ultrabooks are also heavily TDP constrained, so putting in a dGPU is often difficult to manage without more exotic cooling systems. With their U-series, Intel is basically giving all Ultrabooks the option for a decent iGPU. In short, it's market segmentation as a business strategy, which is nothing new for Intel (or AMD for that matter). Reply
sheh - Saturday, June 08, 2013 - linkIndeed. Better iGPU makes the most sense in hi-watt, med-end, CPUs. High end CPUs are more likely to be accompanied by a dGPU. Reply
IntelUser2000 - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkFor the U chips, its not just about performance, but rather best performance specific power level.
Based on the performance Anandtech is giving, I assume the HD 5000 is running a LOT lower frequency than the 1.1GHz Turbo peak indicates.
Intel themselves said of doing similar as well. Running "2x" graphics at lower frequency and voltage, compared to "1x" graphics at standard frequency and voltage allows for much better perf/watt.
Also, dual core 35W parts will go entirely away with Broadwell. Reply
beginner99 - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkExactly. That was already known for a long time. Due to lower clock speeds the actually performance difference will be pretty small but U Chips get better performance/watt Reply
trip1ex - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkAs usual Intel releases a clusterfeck of cpu models.
ONly god knows the reasons for this. I think they could trim the entire line down to 5 or 6 cpus. Reply
AFQ - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkWhats SC and DC Turbo? Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkSingle-Core (I suppose I could have said "single-threaded") and Dual-Core loads. So if you're only loading a single core you can hit a higher Turbo Boost speed than if you're loading two cores, and if you're loading three or more (on a quad-core CPU) you'd drop down yet another bin. Reply
bsim500 - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkSilly question, but what happened to all the previously leaked Haswell i3 model numbers (Google "Haswell i3 Arctic Cooling leaked"):-
"The listing by Arctic Cooling revealed the following processors:-
Core i3-4240T, Core i3-4240, Core i3-4225, Core i3-4220T, Core i3-4220"
Are there any actual proper desktop i3's clocked above 3.3GHz and a release date for them (Haswell equivalents of Ivy i3-3220, Sandy i2-2120, Clarkdale i3-530, etc)?
Also, Jarred, have you tested a non-K multiplier-locked i5 yet to see if they can be overclocked via BCLK (as that will make the difference between a desktop i3 being stuck at 3.3GHz and being able to reach 4.125GHz)? Thanks. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkI have not had any Haswell hardware personally -- yet! (Coming soon!) As for desktop Core i3, we know they'll come out eventually; I think we're under NDA on that so I can't comment other than to say that the released information has not covered any desktop Core i3. Reply
Achaios - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkFrom what I see, these awesome dual cores and integrated GPUs should be able to run titles like Warcraft III, Settlers III and Stars! at the amazingly high resolution of 1355X768 and over 60 FPS. Ofc, Pinball and Solitaire run at 1920X1080 at over 120 FPS for those dudes who invested in 120Hz monitors. Tetris should run at over 200 FPS and 2560X1440. Awesome. Another technological breakthrough from Intel. Reply
sheh - Saturday, June 08, 2013 - linkAre the 37W i5s released already? If not, when will laptops with them start appearing? Reply

parsing and interpreting query strings passed to CGI scripts. However,
it also offers a rich set of functions for creating fill-out
forms. Instead of remembering the syntax for HTML form elements, you
just make a series of perl function calls. An important fringe benefit
of this is that the value of the previous query is used to initialize
the form, so that the state of the form is preserved from invocation

The bodies of Jasbir and Sunita were dumped on a dirt road in full display, to restore honor and balance to a village. They had done the unacceptable, and dared to love without permission. Their bodies represent the angst of men from a bygone era, desperately attempting to hold on to power. According to NewsDaily, "Among the Jat caste of the conservative northern state of Haryana, it is taboo for a man and woman of the same village to marry. Although the couple were not related, they were seen in this deeply traditional society as brother and sister."
"Growing economic opportunities for young people and lower castes in Haryana have made "love marriages" more common, experts say, and the violent repression of them has risen in tandem as upper caste Jat men fight to hold on to power, status and property."
It didn't matter that Sunita was 22 weeks pregnant and was just 21 years old, with an entire life ahead of her. All that they saw was their so-called honor, and to cleanse it according to Reuters they viciously punched and kicked her in the stomach, as she cried for help from her boyfriend 22-year-old Jasbir Singh
Sunitas womb represented visible evidence of her desire for autonomy, and in attacking her not only did these men reassert their patriarchal privilege, they confirmed the social hierarchal power structure. By attacking her newly swollen belly, they clearly defined the bifurcation of gender vis a vis power. In a region where women wear veils and cover their faces in public, a woman daring to follow her own heart simply could not be tolerated. Not even her mother weeps for her.
"Nobody would drink water in our house," Sunita's mother Roshni is reported to have said. "My daughter's action made us aliens in our own land. But we have managed to redeem our honor. She paid for her ill-gotten action."
Women represent family honor because their bodies are colonized and constructed as weak. Generation after generation of male control has usurped the authority of the feminine in order to exercise power, ultimately that is what an honor killing is, an assertion of power. Female bodies only matter to the degree that they conform, otherwise they are dispensable fodder, or markers of consequences. Sunitas body was placed publicly to reaffirm the submission that is expected of women. That her mother does not weep for her daughter is proof of how deeply ingrained the internalization of patriarchal priorities and sensibilities is.
When the villagers express pride in this horrid event, as Sing did in the following …"The people who have done this should get an award for it," said 48-year-old Satvir Singh. "This was a murder of morality." in actuality it is an expression of relief on two counts. One they are happy that they themselves were not targeted with violence and two, that social order as they understand it and have become accustomed to has been restored. They cannot imagine a world in which equality of the sexes exists, and frankly neither can I. The difference is because I am a woman I do not find the idea of equality threatening. For women equality is something that we dream of the world over. No group willingly gives up power, and so it is up to those of us that remain to continue to define ourselves as we see fit, thus carrying out the struggle in Sunitas name.

In my current project, I've got a main window, a tab control, a child window for the tab, and it has a child window with a directx swapchain bound to it. hwndmain -htab -htabview1 --h3dview (has directx swapchain) When the user wants to open a file, I check to see if one is open, and if so pop open a message box to ask if they would like to save the current file. This message box does not pop up over of the childwindow with the swapchain. It will appear if any other tab window is showing,however, eventually each tab will have 1 or more swapchains attached to it. If i press a key that the Messagebox responds to(such as escape or alt) then it is drawn correctly. Edited September 6, 2013 by Burnt_Fyr 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Department of Treasury and the administration are closely reviewing today's ruling and consulting with the Attorney General to determine appropriate next steps that will help ensure the fiscal and academic health and well-being of our communities and schools.
At this time, we do not believe the ruling affects the appointment of Jack Martin as Emergency Manager for Highland Park Schools.
As for Highland Park Schools, our top priority has been, and will remain, providing students in the district with a quality education. They need and deserve every opportunity to succeed.
The Highland Park School District is in a severe fiscal crisis that only will further jeopardize the district's students and families and get worse without continued state support and assistance. The district has already needed two advances in State Aid to avoid payless paydays and the Michigan Department of Education expects yet another request for additional hardship funding.
Where the City of Detroit review is concerned, the financial review team's work will continue in accordance with the Open Meetings Act.

Did you know?
Gilroy hosts a Saturday morning brewery tour to uncover beer myths and legends, and demystify the micro-beer brewing process, followed by a tutored tasting.
Gilroy brewery, situated in the Muldersdrift countryside in Gauteng, is '120 years behind the times', says Steve Gilroy, a proud 'real ale' evangelist.
As opposed to commercially brewed beer, 'real ale' – also known as 'cask-conditioned beer', 'real cask ale', 'real beer' or 'naturally conditioned beer' – is brewed from traditional ingredients (malted barley, hops, water and brewer's yeast), matured by secondary fermentation in the container from which it is dispensed, and served without the use of extraneous carbon dioxide.
All Gilroy beers are handcrafted. Steve Gilroy produces four kinds of beer: Gilroy Lager is a European-style lager; Gilroy Favourite, a pale ale, is the ladies' choice; Gilroy Traditional Ruby Ale is a connoisseur's beer; and Gilroy Serious is a premium dark ale.
Gilroy's ales and lager are unfiltered, unpasteurised and preservative free. Gilroy uses only imported German and English malt and hop varieties, and is quick to point out real beer's health benefits. Natural tasting, it's rich in B-vitamins, iron and antioxidants, and develops ever-more complex flavour as it matures.
The length of the beer tour depends on the enthusiasm of the participants, but expect to spend about an hour. Your tour concludes with a tongue-in-cheek ritual known as the Legend of the Gauntlet: the ceremonial raising of the the 'impertinent finger', or middle digit, as a challenge to other brewers to brew a better beer.
The Gilroy pub/restaurant is an added reason to visit this popular country brewery. Patrons consume the good-value pub fare in the dark, wood-panelled, quintessentially British pub, or in the outdoor beer garden, to the sounds of live jazz (Steve Gilroy is also a former jazz guitarist), rock and blues.
Gilroy brewery is situated in the Ngwenya Glass Village in Muldersdrift.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The chairman of the Ohio Republican Party, who came out of retirement to end an intraparty feud, says he'll seek a new term as GOP chief to aid in the re-election of Gov. John Kasich.
GOP Chairman Bob Bennett was the longest-serving chairman in Ohio GOP history when he retired in 2009, then returned in April to replace Chairman Kevin DeWine, ousted by Kasich supporters.
The Columbus Dispatch reported Friday (http://bit.ly/VcE159) that Bennett will seek a new term in January, though he can't say for sure he'll serve the term's entire two years.
The 73-year-old Bennett says his chief goal is the re-election of Kasich and Ohio's four other Republican state officeholders in 2014.
Bennett made the announcement before the party's 66-member state central committee at a Columbus meeting.

Mary-Louise Parker regrets getting nude for the season finale of Weeds and claims she was "goaded" into it, according to the New York Post:
"I didn't think I needed to be naked, and I fought with the director about it, and now I'm bitter," the star of the Showtime series says in the June issue of More magazine.
"I knew it was going to be on the Internet: 'Mary-Louise shows off her big nipples.' I wish I hadn't done that. I was goaded into it."
Ha! Look at her big nipples! Now, what'd she just say?

Teller of Tales, and Weaver of Yarns, Edgar Allan Poe's writings range from the wistful longing of a lover to the mind-wrenching horror of the macabre.
1809-1849 — The United States of America
Edgar Allan Poe is the father of the macabre genre of storytelling. His life was riddled by loss and hardship, seen in many of his great works.

Pollination perch described in a report in Nature, vol. 435, p41, 5 May 2005. Bruce Anderson of the University of Kwa-Zulu-Natal, South Africa and colleagues have investigated "the curious sterile inflorescence axis" on a plant named Nectarinia famosa, commonly known as the rat's tail plant because of a large spike that projects from the base of the plant and towers above it but has no flowers, leaves or any photosynthetic tissue. They decided its function "is exclusively to provide a perch for foraging birds".
The plant is pollinated by the malachite sunbird which is large enough to reach into the flowers if it lands on the ground next to the plant. If the bird feeds while perched on the ground beside the flowers it does not make contact with the stamens and stigma and will not pollinate the flowers. However, if it perches on the spike it reaches over the flowers to feed on nectar and the plant's stigma and stamens come in contact with the bird's breast feathers. This means the bird collects and delivers pollen to the flowers as it feeds.
Editorial Comment: There are clear advantages for both bird and plant once they have mutually beneficial structures, functions and behaviour, but that does not explain how the genetics of originally non-matching plants and birds could be changed in order to match in the first place. In this case the spike has no known use to the plant unless the right sized birds use it. But birds would not use it unless it provided a better access perch than standing on the ground! It makes far more sense to believe that the plant and bird were both designed by the same Creator. Matching structure, function and behaviour in plants and their pollinators provides abundant evidence for plan and purpose, rather than naturalistic evolution. (Ref. pollination, fertilisation, design)

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/12/2012 (1695 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Sometime around 1910, photographer Edward Curtis visited Piegan Blackfoot leader Little Plume at his home in southern Alberta.
By this time, many indigenous communities were relegated to reserves. Most had been exploited by governments and were viewed as a burden. Many endured poverty due to long-standing ways of life altered.
In this, Curtis found a market in Indian portraits. Framed as "disappearing" cultures, his portrayals of head-dressed chiefs, horse-backed warriors, and women in forests received critical acclaim. U.S. president Theodore Roosevelt called his work "truthful."
What Roosevelt and others didn't know was that indigenous peoples didn't look like this. Curtis brought trunkfuls of clothing and objects with him. When his subjects didn't fit the story he was telling, he dressed them up.
Arriving in Little Plume's lodge, Curtis snapped a photo. Developing it, he was aghast.
There was a Victorian clock beside Little Plume.
Curtis couldn't have a dying culture with a clock.
So, doctoring the photo, he removed time.
Recently, I taught Ojibway rap artist Wab Kinew's 2009 CD Live by the Drum at the University of Manitoba. I asked my students: "What is Ojibway about this music?"
Many identified the use of Anishinaabemowin, the Ojibway language. Some said the beats resembled canoeing. Another argued that anything made by an Ojibway is Ojibway.
"Those are interesting enough definitions," I responded, "but what do you do with the English in the music? The fact other cultures canoe? Or, that Ojibway now sound like the Borg from Star Trek?"
After further discussion, the defining feature we settled on was that Kinew's album gave us a sense of a dynamic, changing and growing culture. Utilizing traditional and community practices, the music showed us how a people were entering the future.
Continuing, we determined Ojibway expressions are living processes that connect a unique community with the forces they meet in the universe. Whether encountering wind, an animal or another people, Ojibway ceremonies, songs and stories represent attempts to understand and form relationships within a living universe.
They are offerings, gifts.
By gifts I don't mean that re-gifted mug. I mean a presentation that illustrates something about an individual or community. This could be history, experiences, or knowledge about the universe. Anything.
Not all gifts instil warm fuzzies either. Some are painful and discomfiting. Truth tends to be this kind of gift.
Once an offering is accepted, Ojibway often expect these to form a bond for a long time. At least until the next time the parties meet and new gifts are exchanged.
What's Ojibway about Kinew's music are the gifts that offer who he, his community and his culture are as a growing people. It's all of it: from the first lyric, sound and message to the last.
Each presents a central message Ojibway know: that we are all related.
This isn't a new age slogan. It means Ojibway and others are distinct entities but deeply tied to one another. Through sound, word, and movement all are part of a network committed to sharing this world.
We are relatives with shared responsibilities to speak, sing, and act -- and allow others to as well.
Family aren't friends. You treat relations with respect and dignity, even if you don't like them. You don't chuck a gift from your sister or uncle in the garbage. You don't consciously hurt your relatives -- because then you are really hurting yourself.
I'm no expert on Piegan Blackfoot culture, but I know this.
By erasing the clock, Curtis was disrespecting a gift.
Little Plume was showing him who he was.
Much of Canadian policy during the last few centuries has been to try to erase parts of indigenous life and replace them.
The epitome of this, the residential school system, sought to "kill the Indian and save the man."
Everything "uncivilized" in indigenous peoples had to be removed. Language. Culture. Spirituality.
In place was instilled "civilization," however that was classified.
I shouldn't have to explain how the residential school system did this. Check the headlines.
Assimilation is an inherently violent practice. To reduce a complex people into a product of sameness, one must employ physical and ideological manipulation to produce a constructed and self-sustaining image.
Sometimes this involves bloodshed.
Other times removal.
Erasing who a people are constitutes genocide.
In recent weeks, the Idle No More movement against the Harper government's Bill C-45 has sparked mainstream interest in First Nations issues.
Proposing radical changes to legislation, Bill C-45 will expose waterways to industrialization, threaten wildlife, and legitimate the removal of indigenous territories without consultation.
Along with other new laws, Bill C-45 will enable the exploitation of the Earth's ecosystems and the theft of First Nations territories (among other things).
On Dec. 4, First Nations leaders interrupted their annual meeting to take their concerns to the House of Commons. Arriving peacefully, they asked for consultation. Still, they were refused entry and took their demonstration to the front steps.
Oddly, most Canadian media reported as chiefs "storming" the government. One TV interview described them "clashing" with security. Another pronounced a "backlash ... boiling" over.
In the days following, indigenous peoples and their allies converged on malls and legislatures to demand clean drinking water and safe communities, partnerships based on treaties, and consultation on environmental and economic policy. One chief has even staged a hunger strike to demand a meeting with the prime minister.
Harper and his government, ignoring all calls, passed Bill C-45.
Activists, however, continue to demonstrate. And how?
Round dances mostly.
In other words, they're giving gifts.
Few communities have continually changed -- and in such drastic fashion -- as indigenous peoples.
It could be said that motion constitutes indigenous existence.
For instance, as indigenous peoples encounter new technologies, their names, languages and stories change. As writing systems like birch bark and YouTube are adopted and adapted, traditional practices innovate to include them. As new dances, music styles, and Twitter hashtags encompass political struggles, indigenous expressions radically alter.
Not all practices need to, or should, change. Giving tobacco and prayer have been a good way to communicate with spirits for a long time. MP4s do not replace orality. E-mail cannot substitute visiting. You get the point.
In Manitoba, indigenous peoples have been embodying motion for thousands of years. You can see this in writings throughout the province: in stones of Manito Ahbee, rock paintings near Sagkeeng, tattoos on bodies. In the footsteps of flashmob round dances.
The Forks is Manitoba's first, and oldest, Internet. People have been travelling in and out of this site for centuries, trading and leaving stories written in footsteps.
Today, motion resides in treaties, novels, and websites.
Our relationships are found in all of these spaces.
This is why resisting acts of erasure, like Bill C-45, is so important.
Protecting our relationships are about protecting who we are. These are spaces where we collect and give gifts to relatives throughout the universe. These are the spaces we share our gifts with Canadians, too; here are found the history books of this country.
Our relationships are forged not only today in waterways and on land, but in malls and legislatures. We must protect these places too; they constitute our living world.
Our relationships give us motion. Without them, indigenous peoples can't exist.
All that's left is a dead, lifeless picture of the gift-givers of this land.
A constructed image. Void of motion and time.
And an empty, meaningless Canada.
Friends, not family.
And we're more than that.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/5/2009 (3008 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Manitoba's recent initiative to remove user fees from provincial parks would be an example of the latter, but it is also a case study in bad public policy and of a broader malaise in Manitoba politics.
"Free" provincial parks sound like one of the hardest policies to be against. Who could oppose families -- children in particular -- connecting with nature, and not charging money which many see as the root of all evil? But the case for user fees wherever possible is strong, straightforward and Manitobans can and should oppose the free provincial park policy.
First, the parks are only free in the narrowest sense of the word. It may well be that no money changes hands at the park gate, but provincial park maintenance cost a touch under $19 million last year; those costs won't disappear. Indeed, the famous dictum -- there "is no such thing as a free lunch" means governments cannot avoid costs, they can only shift them.
While politicians usually advertise the primary effects of a public policy, such as free entry, the secondary effects -- higher taxes elsewhere or sacrificed services, cannot be ignored.
Consider the most obvious secondary effect of cost shifting onto the general taxpayer; the estimated $2.6 million that won't be collected at the park gate means $2.6 million of either increased taxes or reductions in other services for all Manitobans. (Ask yourself how many doctors $2.6 million could employ every year.) This effect applies to those who use the parks, which might be seen as fair, but also to those who either can't or don't.
One of those groups are business owners and their employees who compete with the parks for patrons, from urban entertainment to private camping grounds. Running a business in these economic times already involves enough uncertainty without a major competitor suddenly announcing that they are dropping their price to zero for the next two years and funding their activities through the taxes of all Manitobans. To add injury to insult, those other providers are forced to fund their competition with a proportion of what their own profits.
Another such group, which the new policy is meant to help, is low-income earners. Even here, the picture is more complex than it appears at first glance. Park users are not necessarily low income earners. In order to pay your $7 at the gate, you must first be able to afford the expense of getting there. Getting to provincial parks may seem a frivolous barrier to middle-income earners, but removing park fees is same in concept as giving all Manitobans taxpayer-funded ice cream in Hawaii. Great if you can get there, but you pay for it even if you can't.
More importantly, Manitoba, and Canada for that matter, already have comprehensive tax and transfer systems aimed at topping up low incomes. Similar to the wasteful policy of keeping electricity prices ludicrously low and benefiting mainly well-to-do folks who can afford to pay higher rates, eliminating user fees for park visitors benefits mostly those who don't need help in the first place.
"Free" parks as with under-priced electricity are unfocused subsidies which benefit those who don't need the subsidy -- the rich. In addition, another group benefits: out-of-province tourists, who otherwise would help out with the cost of maintaining the parks they also use.
These are much more effective ways to help low income people than distorting the outdoor recreation market.
Just as with other weird political responses to the global economic situation, the free provincial park policy is a politically-inspired search for a photo-op, one which highlights only a superficially attractive aspect while in fact cancelling out the assumed benefits, or worse. More deeply, it is worth Manitobans' while to ask: Is shifting the cost from park users to taxpayers really the best that can be expected of the provincial government, or has it just run out of better ideas?

text: World 30 January 2013 German foreign minister slaps down Cameron: "there can be no cherry-picking" Guido Westerwelle criticises Cameron's EU demands and warns that "'You either do what I want or I'll leave!' is not an attitude that works". Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML Conservative eurosceptics celebrated last week when Angela Merkel responded to David Cameron's EU speech by declaring that "she was prepared to talk about British wishes" in order to reach "a fair compromise". By this, they took the German Chancellor to mean that her government was willing to support Cameron's attempt to repatriate significant powers over social and employment law, the environment and criminal justice from Brussels. But a piece by the German foreign minister, Guido Westerwelle, in today's Times (£) makes it clear that this generous interpretation of Merkel's words was entirely wrong. While conceding that reform is needed to make the EU more democratic and more competitive, he unambiguously rejects Cameron's vision of an à la carte Europe in which Britain, alone among the 27 member states, is able to pick and choose which laws it obeys. Westerwelle writes: The current European settlement may not be to everybody's liking in every respect, but that is the nature of every good compromise. One thing, however, holds true for all of us: there are no rights without duties. There can be no cherry-picking. Saying "You either do what I want or I'll leave!" is not an attitude that works, either in personal relationships or in a community of nations. To repeat, "there can be no cherry-picking". It is true, as Cameron points out, that UK enjoys opt-outs from the single currency and the Schengen border-free zone. But since Britain was never a member of either to begin with, this is not a precedent for repatriation. Were the EU to grant the UK special treatment, the single market would soon unravel as other member states made similarly self-interested demands. What those eurosceptics who demand access to the single market without "all the other stuff" (in the words of Conservative MP Andrea Leadsom) don't understand is that the single market isn't possible without "all the other stuff". Socially-minded member states such as France only accept the free movement of goods, services, capital and people because of the accompanying guarantee of universal employment rights and protections. Cameron may plead that no one goes into a renegotiation "hoping and expecting to fail" but it is now clear that only the most heroic U-turn from Germany will save him. › The fall in student applications could devastate the UK's creative economy German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle.

Tory Burch Fall 2013
"Many trips to the Neue Galerie," said Tory Burch of her process for designing the Art Nouveau–inspired collection she showed at the Pierre hotel earlier today. "I looked at the textures, the incredible embellishments, the details of Gustav Klimt's paintings. That was the beginning." It was a smart place for Burch to start, given that her customers love the sort of ornamentation that Klimt is famous for, namely fearless print and generous applications of gold, both of which the designer used freely throughout her collection, on the clothes, the jewelry, the handbags, sunglasses, and shoes.
In fact, a quick note on Burch's accessories: Those that came down the runway this morning—magnifying-glass pendant necklaces, dragonfly earrings, and elegant velvet monk-strap pumps—were only a fraction of what the designer has created this season. A preview at her studio yesterday revealed racks and racks of covetable, look-completing charms and minaudières, each one more mesmerizing than the next. That hypnotizing, have-to-have-it effect that reflective things can have on women? Burch taps into it directly with iridescent leathers, electric-colored beetle-wing embellishments, and high-gloss hardware. "Jewelry is becoming a much bigger business for us," she said.
Now without further ado, let's talk about the clothes, which, as ever, catered to a woman who doesn't have a whole lot of time for wardrobe changes within any 24-hour period. "That's how I am," Burch said sympathetically. Her tricks: Elevate a tweed coat with beads that make it shimmer a little, add Lurex to the knit turtlenecks, and run a grid of sequins and floral paillettes through the soft, shredded chiffon used on a jacket and matching skirt. Give the customer prints. "I've always loved scarabs," Burch said of this season's signature, which she applied to chiffon blouses and the back of a more structured sweater. Keeping the proportions balanced—"if one piece is oversize, the other is nipped in"—and the skirt-lengths just below the knee—"we definitely went up a few inches from last season"—her silhouettes flattered the figure without ever restricting it too much. The favorite looks, three in particular that were revealed toward the end of the show, were made of a very pretty flocked velvet floral. That Burch took her bow wearing a dress from this series is worth noting. Why, you ask? Because whatever she touches so often turns to gold.

Thread: Bungie Anniversary Video
Bungie Anniversary Video
I'm not sure how much of a fan anyone is on here of Bungie (you might have heard them create this game called Halo one time. It wasn't very popular) but they released a near hour-long ViDoc on, well, them.
I mean it's nice to see what makes up a big company anyhow and Bungie are very much loved for the effort they put in. I've played Reach a couple of times over the last two weeks after not playing it for damn near half a year. Other than the fact it still holds up and makes me angry it's not available on the PC, the play-list changes and amount of custom maps seamlessly integrated because they can be...it's pretty cool.
Anyhow, thought this might be worth a shout out!Powered by Steam. And biscuits. I'm also a twit and dabble in creative writing.

Happy 2014! With a new year also comes a fresh start, an opportunity to evaluate 2013 and establish new fitness, professional and personal goals. These goals (resolutions) are often set with the best intentions, but still nearly 75% of them last only one week. Here at Zoot, we want to change that. We want 2014 to be your best year of health and happiness, so we are here to share our tips for sticking with your fitness resolution.
1. Be realistic: Of course we encourage you to dream big – just not unattainably big. Make sure whatever resolution you strive to achieve is something you are actually capable of. If you feel overwhelmed, you are much more likely to ditch it and move on.
2. Write down your goals: People who write down goals are actually more likely to achieve them. Write yours somewhere accessible where you can easily check in on your progress. It may also help to share them with someone you trust: a workout buddy, spouse, best friend – anyone you feel can be supportive, encouraging and help keep you accountable.
3. Be specific: When you write down your resolution, define who, what, when, where, how and why. Making your goal as specific as possible helps with planning and sets you up for success.
4. Make it measurable: When you decide on your resolution, ensure that you are able to measure the results. For instance, "run better" is not measurable. Define better – does that mean faster? Farther? Maybe it's "I will cut one minute off of my mile time" or "I will PR in my half marathon this year." Set benchmarks so you know whether you're successful.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/10/2012 (1785 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Sports has always been about winners and losers. It's about good guys vs. bad guys; us vs. them.
It's why we keep score. It's why fans kill for those few hours when they can escape the doldrums of everyday life, throw on a jersey and do a paint-by-numbers rendering of their favourite team's colours all over their face.
And it's why the NHL's current lockout -- work stoppage, travesty, whatever you want to call it -- is so painful for so many.
To the diehards, there are no good guys vs. bad guys in this. No us vs. them. Just... no hockey.
This is a battle about hockey-related revenue. It's about rollbacks and profit margins.
It's millionaire players and billionaire owners fighting over a $3.3-billion pot. And it's about the public relations war between the league and the NHL Players' Association and how they spin the truth, lies and statistics.
It's commissioner Gary Bettman and deputy boss Bill Daly arguing the plight of the two-thirds of NHL teams who lost money last year. It's about NHL Players' Association head Donald Fehr being flanked by high-profile stars of the game during a recent press briefing and insisting they should not have to pay a big chunk of the freight in fixing the bottom lines of the haves and have-not franchises.
So all this -- all the truth, lies and statistics, the spin-doctoring and posturing -- can be a bit much for fans who simply want to watch the game.
And it makes it impossible to keep score.
What follows is a collection of bits and pieces accumulated over the last little while, both in the days leading up to the Sept. 15 lockout and since that fateful Saturday.
Decide for yourselves what is worthy, what is fiction and what constitutes as verbal diarrhea courtesy of the propaganda machines:
Since 1993-94 the NHL's hockey-related revenue has grown from $700 million to $3.3 billion in 2011-12. Further to that, in the years since the last lockout the HRR has grown by $1.3 billion, from $2 billion in 2003-04 -- growth of seven per cent annually.
Under the recently expired CBA, players received 57 per cent of hockey-related revenue or $1.8 billion. The NHL wants to slice that down considerably, and their first offer was to have the players' share drop to 43 per cent. The recent labour settlements in the NFL and NBA have set up a 50-50 split in both leagues.
The last NHL offer prior to the lockout pitched a six-year agreement that would give the players 49 per cent at the start and 47 in the final year.
The NHLPA offer claims its latest offer would save the owners $900 million over the life of a five-year deal.
The average player salary has risen from $560,000 in 1993-94 to $2.4 million last season.
According to Forbes, the current collection of NHL owners features 11 billionaires, including David Thomson, Winnipeg Jets (net worth: $17.5 billion); Mike Ilitch, Detroit Red Wings, ($2 billion); Phil Anschutz, Los Angeles Kings, ($7 billion).
Since the lost season of 2004-05, the value of the Toronto Maple Leafs has more than doubled to US$500 million.
Since 1992, the NHL has lost 1,698 games because of labour disputes. The totals of the major North American leagues: 1. NHL: 1,698; 2. MLB: 938; NBA: 504; NFL: 0.
The estimated differences between the two offers -- the NHL's and the NHLPA's counter -- is $1 billion.
Shea Weber's new deal with the Nashville Predators is worth $14 million for the 2012-13 -- $13 million guaranteed as a signing bonus.
NHL players won't be penniless without regular-season games in October -- their escrow cheques, eight per cent of their base salaries held back, arrive on Oct. 15. As well, they'll also get $10,000-15,000 a month from the NHLPA courtesy of licensing money.
Forbes reported that in 2010-11 the Maple Leafs, New York Rangers and Montreal Canadiens posted an aggregate operating profit greater than the rest of the league combined.
The amount of money spent by owners/teams on re-signing players like Alex Burrows (Vancouver), Kari Lehtonen (Dallas), John Carlsson (Washington), Milan Lucic (Boston), Shane Doan (Phoenix) and Evander Kane of the Jets in the 48 hours before the lockout started was almost $200 million.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman's salary is $7.5 million annually.
And, finally, this tidbit that would have most worried about a quick resolution:
During the discussions over the weekend the NHL and NHLPA couldn't even agree on whether teams should travel with two trainers on the road and who should pay for each player getting his own hotel room. As it stands, players with 600 NHL games on their resumé get their own digs on the road. The rest have to double up.
And so the fight between billionaires vs. millionaires continues.

Some of the juiciest lockout quotes
"In hindsight, it wasn't worth it. It was a waste of time. We thought we were stronger than we were. We started falling apart as the months clicked by. It's money you feel you never get back. At some point, we were sold a bill of goods. Everybody was buying it. Everybody thought, 'Let's not let each other down. Let's do it for the future of the game. Blah, blah, blah.' You're only in the game so long."
-- Mike Modano, Sept. 15, on the 2004-05 lockout
"I don't really see any difference. The business is bigger, everybody wants to get a bigger pie, everybody wants to make more money and the issues are the same. It's about the money, it's not about the game."
-- Lockout 'veteran' Olli Jokinen, comparing the situation in 2004-05 to now
"I know what I'd do with them. I'd put them in a room with bread and water and say, 'Now you stay in there until you make a deal.' It would be outrageous not to have a season."
-- Bobby Orr, Sept. 20
"To me, it's just carelessness. It's them just trying to show everyone that they're the owners and they're the league. They can do whatever they want. If they want to hurt their own game and drive it into the ground that's what they'll do. Even if it comes down to that, it doesn't matter as long as they get what they want."
-- Jonathan Toews, Sept. 24
"It's very complicated and way too much for the average Joe to understand, but having said that, I will tell you this: The owners can basically be viewed as the Ranch, and the players, and me included, are the cattle. The owners own the Ranch and allow the players to eat there. That's the way its always been and that's the way it will be forever. And the owners simply aren't going to let a union push them around. It's not going to happen."
-- Detroit Red Wings Senior VP Jimmy Devellano, Sept. 20. The NHL levied a fine of $250,000 for these comments

Red Dawn: Fighting for Family and Freedom in Your Own Backyard
by Bob Adelmann
Friday, 23 November 2012
Spokane, Washington, is the target of an invasion of parachute troops from North Korea in this remake of the 1984 John Milius-directed film Red Dawn. A rag-tag team of teenage guerrillas escapes to the woods and trains to become a "tiny flea that can drive a big dog crazy," as proposed by the team's leader, Jed Eckert (Chris Hemsworth).
The main theme is the decision that each member of the team must make on his or her own regarding the fight: whether or not to get involved and fight for home, family, and country. A sub-theme is the reconciliation of Jed with his younger brother Matt (Josh Peck) who finally resolve their differences under the pressure of increasing resistance by the enemy.
Underlying it all is resistance to tyranny.
Many of the action sequences are lifted from the original film including the ambush scene where one of the team members, Toni (Adrianne Palicki), baits some soldiers into chasing her around the corner of a building. They are met and gunned down by other team members who then ransack the bodies for their weapons and ammunition, giving them the additional firepower they desperately need to become the irritating flea on the back of the North Korean troops.
There is frequent reference to why such resistance, at the potential cost of their lives, is needed from the members. As Jed explained:
When you're fighting in your own backyard, when you're fighting for your family, it all hurts a little and makes a little more sense.
That's our biggest advantage. For them, this is just a place.
For us, this is our home.
As the film develops, the resistance by the Wolverines encourages those in town not already rotting in a POW camp to join them.
The Rest…HERE

Glasgow Sights
As cities go, Glasgow is contained and compact. It's set up on a grid system, so it's easy to navigate and explore, and the best way to tackle it is on foot. In the eastern part of the city, start by exploring Glasgow Cathedral and other highlights of the oldest section of the city, then wander through the rest of the Merchant City. From there you can just continue into the City Center with its
designer shops, art galleries, and eateries. From here you can either walk (it takes a good 45 minutes) or take the subway to the West End. If you walk, head up Sauchiehall Street and visit Mackintosh's Glasgow School of Art. Once in the West End, visit the Botanic Gardens, Glasgow University, and the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. Then take a taxi to the South Side to experience the Burrell Collection and Pollok House. For Glasgow's East End, walk down High Street from the Cathedral to the Tron Cross; from there you can walk to the Barras and Glasgow Green.
If you break your sightseeing up into neighborhoods, it's completely manageable to explore a variety of places in three days. Glasgow's pubs and clubs serve up entertainment until late in the evening; there's something for everyone.
