Cafe Escadrille
Online Reservations
As always, we had an excellant meal at Cafe Escadrille. We were 2 couples. I had the scrod, my husband the Veal Catherine (his favorite). My cousin and her husband had the salmon specal and the veal marsala. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the noise level, I noted as moderate, was perfect for conversation. Our waiter was excellant.
Most of the food we ordered were wonderful. The clam casino was not as good as I had expected. It was overcooked and chewy. We were celebrating a birthday. Instead of bringing out own cake, we decided to have the Escadrille's chocolate mousse cake. It was delicious. The mousse was creamy and the cake was moist but not overly sweet.
the best clams casino followed with a great Caesar salad, Boston Scrod and the Halibet special were excellent choices The dining room is very comfortable and the section we were located was quiet We will be back soon!
We were a party of 12 and treated very well - just the right amount of attention.
Visited this location for my girlfriends birthday. We ordered Crab cakes, sea food alfredo and the roasted duck. Each dish was incredible. The crab cakes were filled with crab meat and the duck was a great portion and cooked perfectly! The server was funny and made us feel welcome and comfortable. It was very busy that night, but she managed to take care of us, and the wait for the food wasn't that bad, especially for how busy it was, and the quality in which it came out.
Joint birthday celebration with my Aunt . Restaurant did not disappoint.
I hadn't been to Cafe Escadrille for several years but a friend who had never been wanted to go for the first time so we met there for lunch. I was pleasantly surprised. The menu was extensive and the ambiance still great. We each had different things and both were very good. I only wish I had left some room for dessert. That cream puff walking by looked mighty good.
Good continental. Cuisine. Very rich. Decor circa 1980. They are updating though. Not bad
My husband and I had our wedding reception at Cafe Escadrille and we go back every year to celebrate our anniversary. We are never disappointed. The food is very consistent, hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious! Service is very good as well, we always have a server who is personable and attentive. One thing we love about this place is that you are never rushed. You can spend a good two hours enjoying dinner. We love Cafe Escadrille and cannot wait to go back!
The Cafe Escadrille is the best restaurant around !
A perfect spot for any special occasion. Superb appetizers, fantastic meals, and an enjoyable atmosphere.
We love Cafe Escadrille. How could you not? There are very few restaurants that are consistently excellent in everything they do. The Cafe Escadrille never disappoints.
If you enjoy top quality international cousine, this the place to go around the Burlington, Lexington, Winchester area.Despite being a little pricy, every dollar is well spent. Whether it is meet, poultry, fish or seafood, you can tell that every dish is prepared by a top class chef. Their wine selection is also A+. I highly recommend it.
I made the reservation for the main dining room, so I got a bit nervous when we were escorted into the Gourmet Room. Victor, our charming and attentive server, quickly explained that half the main dining room was taken up by a private party, so we were invited to dine in the very elegant Gourmet Room. The food and service were world class, as always. This was a mini-family reunion for us, so our conversation and laughter got a bit loud at times. Victor acknowledged that we were having a good time, and made us feel comfortable. My in-laws emailed this morning to say how much they enjoyed the restaurant. Another fantastic evening at the Cafe !
My wife and I were celebrating our 21st wedding anniversary and made the right call. The food was hot and tasty and our server, Cate was terrific.
Cafe Escadrille's food is consistantly very good. At the moment they are under renovation, so the tables are crowded and it's not quite as comfortable as usual. Nonetheless, the service is top notch and once they finish working it will be better than ever.
Took my Mom here for a birthday dinner - the food was delicious, the service was outstanding with a very attentive and knowledgeable waitstaff, and it was great for a special occasion. My only complaint is that the noise level was too high which made it hard to have conversations.
I have been there many times.I have never been disapointed. The help is polite
My chicken piccata and my husband's prime rib were excellent. The service was great, and the food arrived fast. The restaurant was pleasant and quite, and we plan to come again.
It was my birthday plus that of a good friend. My wife and I plus our friend had an excellent dinner. Cafe Escadrille is a "special occasion" restaurant. We thought the prices were reasonable for the entrees. The entrees came with salad and also the sides. The wine list was extensive and also reasonably priced. we were in a smaller dining room up a couple of steps from the hostess stand, so it was not as noisy as the main dining room. This made it more enjoyable becuase it wasn't too noisy. We hadn't been there in a long time and we will put Cafe Escadrille back on our radar for another visit soon.
We loved the comfortable atmosphere and the wonderful waitstaff that were most knowledgeable and attentive. The noise level was such that you could carry on a conversation without having to shout. The beet and caesar salads were outstanding as was the soup of the day. All four of us ordered something different and were very pleased with our selection. The only complaint was that the salmon was too dry. The apple crisp was one of the best we had ever tasted, and we look forward to our return visit to the restaurant.
The food is always very well prpared. Nice presentation. Outsatnding service.
The food was very good, but did come at a price. It is for sure worth going to for special occasions with someone special. cocktails, desert and service were all very good.....
I really enjoyed the atmosphere, service and food. I had the Caprese Salad and Seafood Bouillabaisse. Both were excellent. The staff were very friendly and the service was great. Highly recommend this restaurant and would definitely go back when I'm in Woburn again.
Café Escadrille was excellent as it usually is. Service is always friendly and efficient. Food is well prepared with an excellent variety. Also, the staff is always very helpful if you note any food allergies. We have been going to Escadrille for over 30 years and have never been disappointed.
We enjoy this place, especially the Gourmet Room. It's quiet and the staff is very attentive to your service. Food was very good and we look forward to a return visit.
Had a wonderful Friday evening with friends. The service was attentive and prompt, the surroundings attracitve, and the noise level well within reason. We were seated promptly, reservations at 7:00, and the meals were delicious! Valet parking made it even more conveient. A great night out!
Server was very knowledgeable and caring about the serve allergies of one of the guest.
Open table needs to ask which restirant you would like.we wanted the gourmet room not the general public restaurant. Luckily they were able to accommodate us. We were celebrating 43 years of marriage
I needed a last minute reservation to take clients out to dinner. The staff was very helpful and able to find us seating for 15 less than 2 hours before our dinner. It was a great success, my boss and the client both loved the place!
We had a work group with several visitors from Germany. One German mentioned that this was the best meal he had ever had in the U.S.
Been going for many years- excellent food and good consistant service. Excellent atmosphere for upscale business dinners. Band was a little noisy as we were 1 table away. Have redone the floors now so no more funky parking lot floor.All in all very nice.
Because of my relocation i hadn't been there in about 5 years. It is still awesome. Great: Food. Service. Setting. Night. Thank you
Great Food. Always same good quality and atmosphere.Extremely clean and well maintained restaurant. Always love their French Onion Soup before meal.
Always have a great experience at Cafe Escadrille. Whether celebrating a special occasion or just a casual get together, always extremely enjoyable!! Thank you once again.
Six of us went to dinner at the Cafe Escadrille on a busy Saturday night. The food was great and service was very attentive. My only issue would be the seating location as we were seated behind the bar. As a chronic people watcher, was not an ideal location. The waitress should be given a medal of honor as one person in our party is pretty difficult to please. The waitress was more than accomodating to her many demands.
This is our 'go to' restaurant where we know we will have a wonderful meal and excellent service. Cafe Escadrille has it right!
Our family was welcomed immediately. The waitress was fabulous and offered suggestions when family members said they liked a particular food item. Our table was ready when requested. The food was great! We enjoyed our evening celebrating a family milestone. Thank you.
What a wonderful dinner venue. Food was fabulous, live music was pitch perfect -- could enjoy it and still hear you dinner partner talking, waitress was attentive and engaging.
They were very helpful in accommodating us and my husbands request for seating as he has a service dog. We enjoyed our dinner very much and can't wait to go back.
Fortunately for us, our anniversary fell on the day before Thanksgiving. The Cafe Escadrille was not terribly busy. We made our OpenTable reservation with a note that it was our anniversary and asked for a quiet table/booth in an out of the way corner. When we arrived, the hostess checked our reservation in the computer and I could see her reading my request which my wife had not known about. Since it was quiet, we were seated in the gourmet section and we were the only ones in this area. The service was exceptional, my wife's filet was amazing, and my prime rib was one that I would have fought a pitched battle over to keep to myself. The server was terrific and this may have just become our annual tradition.
Delicious menu selections, ample portions, and wonderfful service made the night complete!
I would have liked to have the option of a full menu and not a special Thanksgiving menu. Maybe since this is my first time eating out on Thanksgiving I didnt know if restaurants had special menus. Either way, the food was delicious and I'm definitely going back to experience the full restaurant menu.
Food was excellent, especially the Backed Stuffed Shrimp. Delicious desserts....ice cream puff. Friendly serviced and beautiful Christmas decorations.
Scallop appetizer was excellant along with the baked Haddock. Our waiter, Wilson, was great.
Upon being seated we had to go speak to the manager to find our waiter? When she located him, he was overly attentive. While enjoying a TERRIFIC meal, the in house band started up, and the noise level was too high. Outside of that, the "prime rib" was to die for!
enjoyable food, service good, nice reasonably priced wine list. Perfect for regular get together with close friends
Always consistently good! You get what you pay for and this is one of my favorites when celebrating or special occasions.
I took a coworker to dinner here to celebrate a special event. This is the restaurant's peak season; that plus proximity to the Burlington Mall meant that the parking lots were full (complimentary valet parking did the trick though), the restaurant was packed, and it was bustling and rather noisy. That was a bit of a letdown. But the service was very friendly and attentive, good wine list. I had the Tuscan style veal chop (on special) and my coworker had shrimp scampi. Both of us were very pleased. I've been here a number of times before and have always enjoyed it, and generally would recommend it for business meals and group events.
We originally requested a window table, however our party found it too drafty after being seated and drinks served. In spite of the restaurant being full, the management found us a cozy round booth in a smaller away from drafts and very quiet. Our (older) group decided we would request similar seating on our next visit. We usually come to Cafe Escadrille 2 to 3 times per year and are always very satisfied. Having valet service at lunch time on busy days is a plus!

Situated at the mouth of the Manatee River, on the southern end of Florida's Tampa Bay, Bradenton has been a sunny Gulf Coast landing point for years, offering both a relaxing climate for visitors and a diverse local economy.
With beautiful weather year round, scenic river views, easy access to many renowned area beaches and plenty of activities in town, it's easy to see why Bradenton apartments for rent are such a popular draw.
Bradenton has been attracting visitors since 1539, when Spanish conquistador Hernando De Soto landed in the area to begin his exploration of North America. His expedition did not establish a settlement, however, and the area remained the rural domain of Seminole Indians and the occasional Spanish settler until pioneers including town namesake Joseph Braden arrived in 1842, establishing sugar plantations. Bradenton grew in the 20th century as the home to orange juice company Tropicana and as a destination for vacationers and retirees drawn to the nearby beaches of the Florida coast.
According to 2011 census estimates, approximately 50,200 people live in Bradenton. Although not far from the major cities of Tampa and St. Petersburg, or the popular tourism hub of Sarasota, Bradenton maintains its own distinct culture and easygoing pace of life as the county seat of Manatee County. With the natural beauty and recreation provided by the Manatee River, as well as the cultural offerings downtown, people looking for apartments in Bradenton will have many reasons to enjoy the area.
With easy access to the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee just to the south, Bradenton is a great place for local students. Campuses of the State College of Florida, Sarasota-Manatee and Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine are located in Bradenton, and the Manatee Technical Institute adds to the local educational options.
Although Tropicana has moved its corporate operations out of Bradenton, its legacy still holds sway, and many residents still work at a remaining local facility. As the county seat, several of Bradenton's top employers are part of the government, including the Manatee County School Board. Light manufacturing and tourism are major industries due to the climate, and the department store Beall's is also locally headquartered.
Nearly half of Bradenton's residents choose to rent, and the local housing stock is robust. The area's popularity as a vacation destination tends to drive up the cost of living, and many residents may find it difficult to rely on public transportation. Nonetheless, it's still possible to snag a deal.
According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the median gross rent from 2008-2010 was $891. Additional research showed one bedroom apartments renting from $550 to $1000 per month.
With a climate that is pleasant year-round, Bradenton is a great place for sports and recreation. The Pittsburgh Pirates hold their spring training at nearby McKechnie Field, which also serves as the regular season home to the team's local minor league affiliate, the Bradenton Marauders. Bradenton's IMG Academy, particularly known for its Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy, has trained many of the world's top amateur and professional athletes in sports ranging from football to tennis. Manatee High School's football team is consistently ranked among the best in the state and nation.
For more casual athletes, the Manatee River and nearby ocean offer excellent boating, fishing and water sports opportunities, as well as the beautiful beaches of Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key. Golfers can also head to many local courses.
Wildlife enthusiasts can spot local fauna including a range of birds, alligators, fish, dolphins and manatees. The town's Parker Manatee Aquarium is home to Snooty, the oldest known living manatee. It also forms part of the South Florida Museum complex, the largest natural and cultural history museum on Florida's gulf coast. The De Soto National Memorial is another great historical resource, while the Village of the Arts south of downtown is Florida's largest art community. And with the cultural and nightlife options St. Petersburg, Tampa and Sarasota all nearby as well, there is never a lack of something to do.

It's well-known that villains make for some of the best roles and that businessmen (and women) make for some the best villains. So it's a wonder there are so few Oscar-lauded performances as evil entrepreneurs or corporate types. (Perhaps Hollywood's Oscar voters find nothing particularly exotic about tyrannical, power-hungry one-percenters.) Nonetheless, the gallery assembled here---ranging from private-equity sharks to turn-of-the-century oil titans---should strike fear in the hearts of all law-abiding Oscar lovers as they look forward to Sunday's Academy Awards.

The lives of a septic tank cleaner, an ambitious mob boss, and a deaf-mute deli worker converge in tragedy in this seriocomic crime drama from director/screenwriter James DeMonaco. Blue collar by birth, Sully Halverson (Ethan Hawke) has never amounted to much in life. When Sully finds out he's about to become a father, he schemes to rob Parmie Tarzo (Vincent D'Onifrio), a small-time kingpin who's looking for a way to leave his mark on the world. By saving Staten Island Forest, Parmie surmises, he can mold an upstanding public persona for himself while quietly eliminating the competition behind closed doors. That's where Jasper Sabiano (Seymour Cassel) comes in. Seymour may not be able to hear or speak, but he's a hard worker who knows where his bread is buttered. When he's not serving up bagels and coffee, Jasper is dispatching bodies for Tarzo -- frequently in Staten Island Forest. But lately Jasper has been growing tired of the game, and he's desperate to find a way out. When Sully sets his plan into motion, all three men find themselves thrust into a volatile situation that threatens to destroy their plans for the future as it quickly spirals out of control. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Behind the Walls
The shocking story of a young man sentenced to a brutal juvenile home comes to the screen in this drama based on an autobiographical novel by Auguste Le Breton set in the early 1930s. Yves Treguier (Emile Berling) is a 14-year-old who has run away from home and is picked up by police for vagrancy. Yves is sent to an "educational home" for orphans and juvenile felons; the home is more like a prison than anything else, and adults who oversee the youngsters in their care are more interested in discipline and hard labor than in attempting to teach their charges. Many of the boys at the home have become hardened prisoners who greet new inmates with violence or sexual abuse, but Yves is fortunate enough to share his cell with Blondeau (Guillaume Gouix), an older boy with a gentle spirit. Blondeau was simply abandoned by his wealthy mother, and has bittersweet memories of music lessons and reading poetry. While Blondeau has become resigned to his fate, Yves's spirit has not been broken, and he isn't in stir long before making plans to escape. After two attempts to run away fail, Yves is warned that a third offense will result in him being transferred to a prison for adults, but despite the long odds against him, Yves believes that he has a slim chance of escape but no chance at all if he stays on the inside. Les Hauts Murs (aka Behind The Walls) was the first theatrical feature from director Christian Faure, who previously distinguished himself working in television. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

In the Beginning
A confidence man stumbles into a scam that's not only lucrative but might actually help people in this comedy-drama inspired by a true story. Paul (Francois Cluzet) is a minor league swindler who after getting out of jail finds himself in a small town in Nord-Pas-de-Calais, where the economy has been in the doldrums ever since a major road construction project was abandoned. Paul tries to pull a small scale con on someone while posing as a representative of a large construction firm, and when word gets around that one of the company's men is in town, word spreads that the highway project is on again, and local subcontractors are eager to give Paul cash payments to be part of the job. Soon Paul is managing a big road building operation, even though he doesn't know the first thing about construction, and a number of men who've been out of work for months are on his payroll. Paul also find himself working side by side with the town's mayor, a lovely widow named Stephane (Emmanuelle Devos), and the two drift into a romance, but how long can Paul keep up this game before he's found out? A L'origine (aka In The Beginning) also stars Gerard Depardieu, Vincent Rottiers and Soko. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

An international assassin known only as Agent 47 (Timothy Olyphant) carries out high-profile hits for a mysterious organization known only as "The Agency" in this adaptation of the popular Eidos Interactive video-game series. Agent 47 is an elite, genetically engineered assassin who takes great pride in his work. His lethal grace, steady shot, and unparalleled precision have all served to make him one of the most sought-after assassins in the world. But when the killer without a conscience is faced with an unanticipated series of developments, his entire perception of reality begins to shift. On assignment to take out Russian head of state Belicoff (Ulrich Thomsen), Agent 47 is caught off guard by the appearance of presidential look-alikes. When the high-profile hit captures the attention of such powerful intelligence organizations as the CIA and Interpol, agent Mike Whittier (Dougray Scott) is dispatched to rein Agent 47 in. Meanwhile, a mysterious Russian prostitute named Nika (Olga Kurylenko) has walked into Agent 47's life, causing the methodical killer to become overwhelmed by emotions that were previously foreign to him. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

On the heels of his first foray into romantic comedy, versatile French filmmaker Luc Besson breaks new ground yet again with this computer-animated, family-friendly adaptation of his own children's book Arthur and the Minimoys. Arthur is a wide-eyed ten-year-old whose vivid imagination is fueled by the colorful bedtime stories his grandmother reads to him each night. His dreams are filled with images of African tribes and the remarkable inventions detailed in the enigmatic book that his grandfather left behind after mysteriously disappearing four years ago. Arthur and his family are in danger of losing their home to an unscrupulous real-estate developer, but if there is any truth to the tales of a treasure hidden deep beneath their garden and the tiny, fairy-like creatures that his grandmother so frequently sketches, there may still be hope of saving their home before it's too late.

The Singer
A small-time crooner of sentimental ballads enters into a May-December romance with a fragile young real-estate agent in this low-key romantic drama starring Gérard Depardieu and Cécile de France. Fifty-something Alain (Depardieu) is something of a local celebrity in Clermont-Ferrand, and few nights pass when the popular singer-of-standards doesn't exit the stage until well into the morning hours. But karaoke is making singers such as Alain a rare breed these days, and it seems as if his days under the spotlight may be numbered. One night, while serenading the audience from the stage, Alain spots beautiful and unfamiliar blonde Marian (de France) in the crowd. Though he eventually her to meet him the following day, the cautiously guarded Marian remains curiously immune to his charm. Nevertheless, Alain's quiet persistence and self-depreciating humor eventually pays off, and the two soon find themselves strangely drawn to one and other. As fate would have it, Marian is currently employed at a real estate company owned by Alain's friend Bruno (Mathieu Amalric) - who also has eyes for the emotionally troubled young woman. Though Alain's ex-wife and current manager Michele (Christine Citti) doesn't discourage the ageing singer's relationship with the younger woman, her concern with his apparently-waning career soon prompts her to consider how she will spend her own future. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Veteran screen star Tommy Lee Jones makes his directorial debut with the fractured tale of murder and injustice on the U.S.-Mexico border scripted by Amores Perros and 21 Grams screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga. Mike Norton (Barry Pepper) is a fresh-faced Border Patrol officer in Cibolo County, TX, whose dedication to his new job leaves his lonely wife, Lou Ann (January Jones), with little to do but spend her days at the local diner, where she strikes up a friendship with waitress Rachel (Melissa Leo). Despite her own status as a married woman, Rachel is unfulfilled in her marriage and is intimately involved with both rugged rancher Pete Perkins (Tommy Lee Jones) and local sheriff Belmont (Dwight Yoakam). Soon after Pete hires Mexican illegal Melquiades Estrada (Julio César Cedillo) as a ranch hand, the growing bond between the pair is suddenly shattered when, in a moment of panic on a routine patrol, Mike hastily guns down the innocent Melquaides. When an enraged Pete learns that Mike has unceremoniously buried the illegal immigrant in an unmarked desert grave and local authorities opt to overlook the case, he kidnaps the crooked lawman and sets out to ensure that justice is served with or without the involvement of the local police force. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Color Me Kubrick

In the mid-'90s, an Englishman by the name of Alan Conway (John Malkovich) conned many people into believing that he was the reclusive American director Stanley Kubrick, despite the fact that Conway was openly gay, bore no physical resemblance to Kubrick, and knew little about the director's work. Conway's story has been loosely adapted into the comedic feature Colour Me Kubrick. Anthony Frewin, who worked as Kubrick's personal assistance for many years, wrote the script, and Brian Cook, who served as Kubrick's assistant director on several films, including Barry Lyndon and Eyes Wide Shut, marks his directorial debut with the film. Colour Me Kubrick follows Conway on a number of adventures, wherein he cadges drinks, cash, sex, and more from unsuspecting victims, ranging from a heavy metal band to a wine bar owner (Richard E. Grant) to a British lounge singer (British television comic Jim Davidson making his feature-film debut), who are awestruck by his purported fame and fortune, and willing to overlook Conway's genuinely bizarre behavior in the hopes of impressing the great director. Conway's act reached its pinnacle when he temporarily pulled the wool over the eyes of then-New York Times theater critic Frank Rich (William Hootkins). Colour Me Kubrick features cameos by Ken Russell, Honor Blackman, Peter Sallis, and Marc Warren. The French production had its international premiere at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Two men cut off from the world in different ways become unlikely friends and protectors in this offbeat action drama. Danny (Jet Li) is a physically powerful but emotionally stunted man; never given any sort of proper education, Danny has learned little in his lifetime but how to fight, and his minder, Bart (Bob Hoskins), treats him more like a guard dog than anything else, using him in illegal no-holds-barred brawls that earn Bart plenty of money but only reinforce Danny's violent alienation. When Bart is injured in an auto accident, Danny is left to fend for himself, and stumbles upon Sam (Morgan Freeman), an elderly piano tuner who has lost his sight. Sam is the first person to treat Danny with kindness, and the music he plays soothes the troubled soul of the fighter. However, Danny's fighting skills soon come in handy when Sam runs afoul of a pack of small-time crooks who believe he knows too much about their operations. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Ze Film
A would-be independent filmmaker moves from Super-8 to 35 mm overnight in this comedy from France. Goran (Clément Sibony) is an auto mechanic who has been given the nickname Kubrick by his pals because of his great love for movies and his desire to someday become a professional filmmaker. Karim (Micky El Mazroui) and Toxic (Dan Herzberg) are Kubrick's two best friends, willing to do anything to back him up. When Karim has a hot date one night and no place to take his girl, Toxic lets him use his apartment and ends up sleeping in a public park. The next morning, Toxic discovers a film crew has set up for a location shoot in the park, and a member of the crew, mistaking him for a driver, hands Toxic the keys to a truck full of camera equipment, sound gear, and costumes and tells him to park it somewhere else. Seizing a golden opportunity, Toxic turns the truck over to Kubrick, who with the tools at his disposal begins plotting his dream project -- a full-dress screen version of Romeo and Juliet, starring neighborhood beauty Soraya (Karina Testa) and local wise guy Billou (Lorant Deutsch) as the doomed lovers. Ze Film was written and directed Guy Jacques, who shot the film on-location in the neighborhood where he grew up. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A not-so-worldly twentysomething gets caught up with some shady Parisians in director Cedric Klapisch's 2003 crime comedy-drama Not for or Against. Wallflower camerawoman Caty (Marie Gillain) is three years into her career and residency in the French capital with little to show for it in the friend category, never mind the fact she is hopelessly single. While on the job filming an interview with a prostitute, Caty gets a tip from the hooker for a quick and profitable money-making possibility. Following up on the lead, Caty meets the handsome Jean (Vincent Elbaz) who offers to pay her to film him while he robs a store. After some perfunctory soul-searching, Caty impetuously decides to take the offer. This start in crime leads her into Jean's gang of criminals, which she rather quickly becomes a member of. As the thieves tend to spend their loot about as quickly as they accumulate it, they begin planning an enormous caper that will enable them to live more comfortably -- if they manage to survive its undertaking. ~ Ryan Shriver, Rovi

Meanwhile, Emilien (Frederic Diefenthal) learns that he's about to become a father, and Daniel finds his romantic life in shambles.

A scientist living in Tokyo is sent to a small Canadian town to study the tides in this visually inventive feature from director Manon Briand. Suspecting that the cecassion of the tides may indicate an impending earthquake, Seismologist Alice (Pascale Bussieres) arrives in her hometown of Baie-Comeau, Quebec to commence her investigation. Soon confronted by numerous figures from her past, the unusual weather and inexplicable behavior of the citizens lead Alice to believe that something beyond her comprehension is occurring to her old hometown. With a mysterious waitress (Genevive Bujold), a lusting woman, a pack of nuns, a sleepwalking child and a widower pilot who grows ever closer to Alice all factoring into the strange goings on, it seems as if human emotions may have somehow played an integral part in the sudden climate shift. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Coming in on the heels of his internationally acclaimed first film, Le Dernier Combat, 26-year-old director Luc Besson created this tongue-in-cheek look at filmmaking and at the denizens in the tunnels of the Paris Metro -- a new kind of underground movie. Fred (Christopher Lambert) has just stolen some major documents from a birthday celebration given by the Paris elite for one of their kind, Helena (Isabelle Adjani). He takes off into the Metro just as it is shut down for the remaining few hours of predawn darkness and once in the Metro encounters several characters in the tunnels. There is a bodybuilder who works out with subway parts, a purse-snatcher, and a flower seller of dubious ethics. Inspired by the moment, Fred decides to recruit a few of the ubiquitous musicians who perform (some of the best music around) on the Metro's byways, and he creates a rock band. Through all of these encounters and activities, the police and others -- including Helena -- are after Fred for their own reasons, none of which coincide. As Fred discovers, going underground can be risky. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Letter 40
Over the summer new personal parishes (i.e. that have the traditional liturgy as their specific form) were born in the USA and in Australia, while many new priests, from Croatia to Paraguay, opted to celebrate their first Mass according to the extraordinary form of the Roman rite. Meanwhile in Paris there was an exceptional pilgrimage--and that is the subject of our letter this month. Indeed, an entire Parisian "Summorum Pontificum" parish was able to go to Notre Dame Cathedral for a solemn Mass celebrated according to the Missal of Blessed John XXIII. A remarkable fact because, since the Council, no archbishop of Paris has ever manifested any particular affection for the Tridentine liturgy.
(c) Gonzague Bridault
On Wednesday May 29, 2013, the Parisian parish of Saint Eugene-Sainte Cécile went on pilgrimage to Notre Dame de Paris for the 850th anniversary of the cathedral. It left Saint Eugene at 7pm and a long procession went into the cathedral through the north door at about 8pm. Many of the faithful then joined the procession. Then, at 8:15 pm, the pastor of Saint Eugene celebrated a traditional solemn Mass at the high altar of the Pietà.
For a long time the parish of Saint Eugene-Sainte Cécile was so to speak a personal parish before its time. Indeed, since 1989 both Roman liturgical forms (back then one said both rites) have been celebrated there. For nine years the parish had two joint pastors, one for the the traditional Mass and the other for the new Mass. Today there is only one pastor, but he relies on his assistant to continue offering both liturgies. In practice, nearly all of those who attend the parish, be they the faithful, catechumens, or Mass servers, are there for the extraordinary form. There are many conversions and returns to the practice of the religion thanks to the traditional Mass. Above all, this parish is one of the premier recruiting grounds for vocations in the diocese of Paris (there have been over thirty priestly and religious vocations in just the nine years of the two joint pastors), and it provides both Ecclesia Dei vocations and diocesan or religious vocations. Finally, for its eleven o'clock Sunday High Mass Saint Eugene disposes of one of the best Gregorian and polyphonic choirs of France: the Schola Sainte Cécile [1]. For its parishioners as well as for the faithful just passing through, Saint Eugene is in every way a traditional parish, including all the missionary vigor such a place entails.

All of this was transported to Notre Dame last May 29: a very beautiful ceremony; high-quality music; numerous attendees; priests who spoke clearly and prayed piously. During his sermon, which came right after the legalization of homosexual marriage, Father Patrick Faure, pastor of Saint Eugene, invited his flock to "love France" with supernatural love despite, but also because of, the crimes committed by this country's institutions against the natural law and the rights of God:
"It is not up to the earthly nation to define and to decide for itself by legal, or even parliamentary, means, who may live who and who may not, who may not know his parent's identity and who may not. Through legalized abortion, and today legalized homosexual marriage which will logically sooner or later lead to the artificial procreation of children, French legislators are building the earthly nation upon the murder and the harm done to the smallest of its members. But here, in Notre Dame, Vigils for Life bring together the faithful from all of the metropolitan area to ask God for the grace of fighting for life with perseverance, energy, and dignity. Here one realizes, in the days we live in, that the supernatural love of France, of her great accomplishments and of her liberty, means, in a very concrete way, the same and equal love for all of her children, including the weakest, in their right to life and in their right to their know who their parents are."
This ceremony, whose superb photographs we earnestly invite you to view, made a strong impression on all who took part in it, but also on all, be they tourists or sacristans at Notre Dame, who were there out of curiosity. Thus, quietly and peacefully, but solemnly, the traditional liturgy is slowly recovering its right of citizenship in the largest buildings of Christendom and in the souls of the faithful.
[1] The Schola Sainte Cécile will be in Rome on October 25-26 as part of the international pilgrimage of the Summorum Pontificum people, and will sing at the mass which Bishop Athanasius Schneider will celebrate in the Church of the Santa Trinità dei Pellegrini, as well as at the pontifical Mass that Cardinal Castrillón Hoyos will celebrate in Saint Peter's Basilica on the 61st anniversary of his ordination to priesthood.

STRIPSTEAK - Mandalay Bay - Las Vegas
Online Reservations
The only thing we didnt like was the table location, right in a walkway - so next time would change that - The food and everything else was grade, very expensive though. I brought a bottle of wine, i then bought a bottle of champagne, so wtih tip my bill was $450 and they charged me corkage of $35? that is alittle ridiculous to me, when a party of two spends that amount then you hit me with corkage as well.
My experience here was above average. We checked in at 5pm and there was already a crowd waiting to be seated. They would probably do better if they opened at 5pm, but that's just me. Our dinner from start to finish was timed perfectly. The food was good and the service was great. Our waiter was friendly, informative and attentive. Dessert was good as well. I would recommend and would probably go back.
Ordered the skirt steak which was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The free duck fat French fries they give you with three dipping sauces for an appetizer were awesome. Also enjoyed the trio of mashed potatoes as a side. Overall a terrific dinner!
This was my second time @ StripSteak and it did not disappoint. I took along some friend (8) total and everyone raved about everything from drinks to desert. A few must haves....the tri of starter fries, the Wagyu Beef Cap (spendy but INCREDIBLE!!!) also, got to grab the tri of mash potatoes.... All is all one of the best meals I've ever had.
Although you can't pull my husband away from having the Kansas City Rib Eye (as always very good), my favorite Pork Shank with chinese long bean is no longer on the menu. My choice for the night was the Maryland Crab Cake appetizer which actually was delicious and filling. A thin slice of asparagus, dab of bearnaise and pickled radish accompanied the dish. We always share the cream spinach, with crumbles of bacon- decadent. My favorite blueberry martini is gone as well, so I tried the pear martini with lychee juice, refreshing and not too sweet. Alexa's service was spot on, thanks for your attention to detail without being overbearing.And still , after all these years, love the trio of french fries as an amuse.
It's a little further into the restaurant area but worth the walk.
We recently celebrated our anniversary. The seafood appetizer plate is a must at $26 - fresh and tasty. My steak was cooked to perfection and my husband's Ahi Tuna was prepared exactly to his specifications. The only dish I wouldn't order again is the seafood oscar to top my filet mignon. It cost $35 on top of the $59 cost for the steak, and was not as tasty as I had hoped. I had expected chunks of king crab and a nice bernaise sauce. Our server was excellent - non intrusive with impeccable timing. Both the server and busser working our table were great. Overall we left satisfied! Great hotel too.
Everything that we imagined and much better. When I first heard that their steaks are first pouched in clarified butter before they are grilled, I had to go and try them for myself. I was not disappointed, all I have to say is DELICIOUS!!!. Can not wait for a trip back to Vegas to go again. Highly recommend STRIPSTEAK.
Excellent food that was well prepared. They need to drop the wine list in the iPad-I am a techie but this gimmick cheapens the experience plus I felt like having to wash my hands after touching it
Thomas, our waiter provided excellent recommendations for food. Drinks were fantastic. Food divine, especially the scallops and steak!!!
I was entertaining clients and our server was excellent, energetic and recommended the Cap steak....we all had it and it was a good choice. Food coming out of the kitchen was slow though.
Went last Saturday with a group of 6. Started with a dirty martini with freshly stuffed blue cheese olives. Absolutely loved the hamachi/ahi poppers...could have eaten 2! Killer lamb chops as a main course and delicious sides to share with the table. Beignets for dessert took me back to New Orleans. We will be back!
Great food but note that smallest steak on the menu is 10oz! Also they serve special fries instead of bread at the beginning of the meal!
My wife and I were at the Mandalay Bay for a show and decided to give Strip Steak a try. They did not disappoint one bit. I am not a truffle fan but that mac and cheese was delicious. We also ordered the spicy zucchini which was just enough spice to keep me going for more. But then came the main entrée, end cap steak, the waiter was pushing this and I was debating as the price was a little higher but I am so glad he pushed this because this was the most amazing piece of meat I have ever had. It is 2 nights later and of course wishing I was still in Vegas but upset I only went there for dinner once.
Ok we now have a new favorite steak place wish there was one in California. Steak was perfection and the sides were equally as good. Service was seamless and not fussy. Prepare to drop a load if cash but worth every cent.
This restaurant never let's me down. A can't miss in Las Vegas
Anyone can burn/char/ruin a steak.....but no steak is ruined here! All of our steaks were perfectly prepared and the sides were excellent too. A big bonus was the complimentary trio of fries with a trio of dipping sauces....absolutely fabulous.
Best dining experience! This is our fifth time there and can't wait to go back. Rib cap is the best steak I think I've ever had!
They serve some great fries as a free appetizer with three different sauces, all yummy. My wife and I shared an additional appetizer and a steak w/two sides and we where stuffed. Food quality was excellent and the service was great!
My husband and I dined at StripSteak to celebrate my bday. There was a bday card signed by the staff waiting at our table (nice touch). The complimentary french fries were exceptionally good. Our waiter was friendly and knew the menu well. We both ordered Wagyu steaks and side dishes. Somehow the preparation of our steaks got mixed up (husband wanted medium rare, but got medium and vice versa with mine). When, the waiter and the manager stopped by to check on us, we mentioned this tiny problem. They both immediately took our steaks away to replace them. Plus, the manager took our side dishes to keep them warm. A bit later, they brought us fresh Wagyu steaks and sides, prepared exactly as we ordered. Incredibly great service!
I loved StripSteak. The food and service was awesome. Everything we ate just got better and better.
Enjoyed having dinner here. Excellent food. plenty of good steak choices.
One of the best steaks I've had- great restaurant!
My wife and I are locals and don't get out for $200 meals very often at all. This was our 20th anniversary and we had a restaurant.com coupon, so we gave it a shot. The setting simply isn't very romantic at all in my opinion. We had a table of 8 on one side of us and a table of 8 on the other side of our little table. No privacy, and kind of loud. For the prices that they charge, I think you should not feel like you are sitting in a dressed up Chili's. The food, however, was fantastic. Don't know if I would return as for us if we are going to drop $225 (total was $175 after $50 coupon, and we did get one bottle of one of the lower priced wines) I want to go to a place that is much more intimate.
A bit expensive but the food is very good, a great option after the Michael Jackson Show in Mandalay
Great people watching and the food is out of the world. LOVE the tuna tar tar and many of the appetizers.
Well trained staff,. great service. Food was very good, Steaks were perfectly prepared. Very Pricy though. Wine list was overpriced even more. Chose Fat Tire and Lagunitas beer to compensate for the food prices and it actually went well with the Steak, so i left happy.
Attending a conference in Vegas and looking for a great place to enjoy a great steak after a hard day at "Work". The steak was second to none and the service was spot on. You also can't go wrong with the signature chef sides. A little on the Pricy side but seems to be quite normal for vegas.
We celebrated a birthday. The food was outstanding. Yellowtail app was to die for and steaks were delicious. They melt in your mouth. Service was average.
My wife and I ate here before a show thought it was GREAT! Our server was very attentive and energetic. Loved the french fries instead of bread! The ambience was more upbeat then normal fine dining places which we enjoyed. The only negitive mark I can give was that my steak was undercooked from what I orded. But other than that had a great experience.
Great food. A little pricey ($180.00 for 2 - no alcohol included) but worth it. I had Diver Scallops and my husband had the Kansas City Strip Steak with cream corn (awesome must try if it is on the menu) and baked potato and salad for an appetizer.
looking for a great red meat dinner and found it at StripSteak at the Mandalay Bay. Comfortable dining room with good table separation and comfortable seating for customers of every size. service was timely and knowledgable. would definitely recommend.
The rave scene superstar DJs have hit Vegas in force now and Michael Mina joins them in spinning the hits. Like David Guetta, Calvin Harris, and Zedd, Mina is re-imaging and realizing the classic american steak house much in the manner of the electronic alchemists that take a great sample and re-create it into something so much more. Our steaks were classic like a riff from your favorite dance music back in the day and as a centerpiece he gives us wonderful textures to sink our teeth into and incredible richness that melts on our palates in the side dishes. Nothing we had was overwrought, it was all thoughtful, entertaining, and immensely satisfying which is IMO the absolute best case scenario for an establishment of this genera.
StripSteak is one of my favorite restaurants in Vegas. Once seated, the chef sends out a trio of duck fat French fries with a trio of sauces for dipping. The trio consisted of white truffle fries with a truffles aoli, spur cream and green onion fries with house-made catsup, and Old Bay seasoned fries with a stone ground mustard sauce. Yum!!! The service is always wonderful, though our waiter on this particular visit lacked something. However, ask for Thomas if you can, and be treated to the best service around. I had the lamb chops and they melted in my mouth with an earthy flavor that filled my senses. And the broccolini with crispy garlic was so good I wanted to lick the dish. Leave room for the beignets with butterscotch, so worth it!
Outstanding...from the hostess stand to the bill...Thank you !!
We had our meal prior to seeing a show for my best friend's birthday. There was a signed Birthday Card from the staff on our table as we were seated. Our waiter was Sean and his service to us was just outstanding! We loved the complimentary French fries in duck fat at the beginning of the meal. Had to resist stuffing ourselves. The meal could not have been more perfect. Everything was deliciously prepared. Along with our dessert order, my friend was presented with a complimentary scoop of his favorite ice cream decorated with a "Happy Birthday" greeting in chocolate. One of the finest dining experiences I have ever had and we are sure to return on our next trip to Las Vegas.
Just made the 1/2 price happy hour for cocktails, still $8 each. Vegas prices! I ordered the Filet Mignon; it was absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the bone in New York; it was a typical New York, good flavor and later that night he gnawed the bone white (midnight snack). We also ordered the trio of pureed potatoes of horseradish, sour cream and onion, and lobster. Flavorful but probably would try the mac and cheese next time. Also, we ordered the marrow bones with chimichurri sauce. Glad to try this dish of beefy goodness. The fries and sauces, instead of bread, were too salty for our taste and the sauces were not special. Our waiter was knowledgeable, as is appropriate. Time constraint prevented a dessert selection, next time!
Amazing mixed drinks at this joint. Food did not disappoint either. First time there, will be back again!
The menu was diverse..the food was delicious and the service was amazing. We would definitely make this a regular stop when we go to Las Vegas.
Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Be sure to have the rib eye cap - it's a special treat every Vegas trip.
Service was great! Entrees did take a while to come out, but we were a party of 13! Overall good food great atmosphere and terrific service!!!!
The steaks are delicious and the service is attentive without being intrusive. The only caveat is the noise level - not a problem for most people, but I have hearing problems and it was hard to have a discussion. I recommend the mac and cheese side, the Japanese Wagyu beef, and the Tiramisu ice cream.
The perfect ending to a impromptu reunion. Old high school friends in Vegas at same time. I selected Stripsteak as we have enjoyed dinners there before. No one else had been and at end of evening total 10's. Thanks for adding more great memories for us to talk about next time we get together.
In my opinion it's the best one, even if the competition is very very hard in Vegas... (N9ne at palms, STK at Cosmopolitan, Stripsteak at Planet)
Had a client dinner at StripSteak and all the food was delicious. Waygu beef worth the price. Service was good.
Selected Stripsteak mainly because of logistics. My wife and saw a show at the Mandalay, and it was simply easier to dine there then to go back somewhere else. Nice menu. Had a very flavorful bone-in ribeye. The chef's French fry appetizer that he sends to all tables was a great starter. Very nice wine and cocktail list. Service was very good. Very nice night out, but I wouldn't expect less in Vegas
The steaks are just fine. Friendly service. More or less quiet atmosphere. Great for romantic dinner.
I have not been to Strip Steak in a couple years due to my distaste for the Mandalay Bay's management of its property, but this is still my favoritie place to eat in Vegas. The American Kobe (Wagyu) Filet is simply outstanding. The duck-fat fries that the chef sends over as an app to start the meal are always a delight. Also, thje truffle mac and cheese was very nice. Thjis place is expensive, but worth it.
This restaurant has gone above and beyond for me on more than one occasion. It blows my mind how the staff can remember things when I'm only there a few times a year. The food is always at a very high level. The staff is always super friendly. The manager staff actually cares about what happens within its doors. There is added value to an experience when you feel the staff truly appreciates your business. We've all dined at nice places where you felt you were an after thought. I encourage you to engage the staff and ask questions. It will heighten the experience. You won't be disappointed.
This was our first time here and the service was very good. Very attentive with a pleasant. They have a good wine list presented on a touchpad menu that was easy to navigate. The Mac & Cheese was terrific but the Broccoli side had a lemon sauce that was a little strong for my taste. The filet and dry aged ribeye were cooked perfectly. The pricing was on the higher side for a steakhouse but I felt that we got our moneys worth.

The Economy
Richard Wolff on The Campbell Conversations
By Grant Reeher
This week on the Campbell Conversations, economist Richard Wolff argues that our economic recovery has so far been a "fiction," unless you're in the top one percent, and he further claims that this problem reflects something much more fundamentally wrong with our modern system of capitalism. He finds a solution to the problem in a reconsideration of the way we govern the workplace. Wolff is the author of books such as Democracy at Work, and Capitalism Hits the Fan.

Calxeda gains some allies in the Server War
Subject: General Tech | October 10, 2012 - 01:57 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: calxeda, arm, 64bit, ARMv8
There are two very big hurdles for Calxeda to overcome if it wants its ARM based servers to make any headway in the market. The first is OS support which could be the hardest to overcome as they are dependant on programmers making Linux distributions like Ubuntu, Fedora, and openSUSE compatible with ARM chips, Microsoft has already announced that the first version of Windows Server 2012 will not support ARM. Compatibility is something that Calxeda cannot fix on its own, however the lack of a x64 chip is something that they can work to solve and thanks to the $55M they just received they can now move forward on finishing the chip design. That money came from an impressive list of allies including the current parent company of GLOBALFOUNDRIES, ATIC as well as ARM Holdings, Battery Ventures, Flybridge Capital Partners, and Highland Capital Partners and will be used to design the next Cortex A15 and an as of yet unnamed x64 chip. Check out The Register for more.
"ARM chip upstart Calxeda is lining its coffers as it prepares to do battle with its 32-bit EnergyCore ECX-1000 processors, and two more cores in its roadmap, to conquer some corner of the server world.
Calxeda now has more than 100 employees, who work in its Austin, Texas headquarters as well as in development labs in Silicon Valley and throughout Asia, and it needs cash as it ramps up sales and etches future EnergyCore processors to handle heavy duty workloads and 64-bit code."

Apple's A6 Processor Uses Hand Drawn ARM Cores to Boost Performance
Subject: General Tech, Processors, Mobile | September 27, 2012 - 12:26 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: SoC, PowerVR, iphone, arm, apple, a6
Apple's latest smartphone was unveiled earlier this month, and just about every feature has been analyzed extensively by reviewers and expounded upon by Apple. However, the one aspect that remains a mystery is the ARM System on a Chip that is powering the iPhone 5. There has been a great deal of speculation, but the officially Apple is not talking. The company has stated that the new processor is two times faster than its predecessor, but beyond that it will be up to reviewers to figure out what makes it tick.
After the press conference PC Perspective's Josh Walrath researched what few hints there were on the new A6 processor, and determined that there was a good chance it was an ARM Cortex A15-based design. Since then some tidbits of information have come out that suggest otherwise, however. Developers for iOS disovered that the latest SDK suggest new functionality for the A6 processor, including some new instruction sets. That discovery tended credence to the A6 possibly being Cortex A15, but it did not prove that it wasn't. Following that, Anandtech posted an article that stated it was in a licensed Cortex A15 design. Rather, the A6 was a custom Apple-developed chip that would, ideally, give users the same level of performance without needing significantly more power – and without waiting for a Cortex A15 chip to be manufactured.
Finally, thanks to the work of the enthusiasts over at Chipworks, we have physical proof that, finally, reveals details about Apple's A6 SoC. By stripping away the outer protective layers, and placing the A6 die under a powerful microscope, they managed to get an 'up close and personal' look at the inside of the chip.
Despite the near-Jersey Shore (shudder) levels of drama between Apple and Samsung over the recent trade dress and patent infringement allegations, it seems that the two companies worked together to bring Apple's custom processor to market. The researchers determined that the A6 was based on Samsung's 32nm CMOS manufacturing process. It reads APL0589B01 on the inside, which suggests that it is of Apple's own design. Once the Chipworks team sliced open the processor further, they discovered proof that Apple really did craft a custom ARM processor.
In fact, Apple has created a chip with dual ARM CPU cores and three GPU cores (PowerVR). The CPU cores support the ARMv7s instruction set, and Apple has gone with a hand drawn design. Rather than employ computer libraries to automatically lay out the logic in the processor, Apple and the engineers acquired from its purchase of PA Semi have manually drawn out the processor by hand. This chip has likely been in the works for a couple of years now, and the 96.71mm^2 sized die will offer up some notable performance improvements.
It seems like Apple has opted to go for an expensive custom chip rather than opt for a licensed Cortex A15 design. That combined with the hand drawn layout should give Apple a processor with better performance than its past designs without requiring significantly more power.
At a time when mobile SoC giant Texas Instruments is giving up on ARM chips for tablets and smartphones, and hand drawn designs are becoming increasingly rare (even AMD has given up), I have to give Apple props for going with a custom processor laid out by hand. I'm interested to see what the company is able to do with it and where they will go from here.
Chipworks and iFixIt also took a look at the LTE modem, Wi-Fi chip, audio amplifier, and other aspects of the iPhone 5's internals, and it is definitely worth a read for the impressive imagery alone.
Raspberry Pi Allows Official Overclocking "Turbo Mode" With Presets Up To 1GHz
Subject: General Tech | September 20, 2012 - 11:53 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: Raspberry Pi, overclocking, arm
The Raspberry Pi has proved a popular – if difficult to get a hold of – low-cost computer. The Pi is powered by a Broadcom BCM2835 ARM system on a chip that features a VideoCore IV GPU and ARM1176JZFS CPU core. By default, the processor runs at 700MHz, but enthusiasts put it through its paces and found there to be more than a bit of headroom. Unfortunately, if your particular chip required a bit of extra voltage to run at higher frequencies, it would mean voiding your warranty in order to get the extra performance – until now, that is.
In a bit of good news for overclockers, the Raspberry Pi Foundation has announced that official overclocking will now be supported even when the processor has been over-volted. In the raspi-config file, you will be able to choose from one of five overclocking presets where the highest overclock will run the processor at 1GHz.
Interestingly, the overclocked frequency is managed by the cpufreq driver and can be dynamically adjusted. The processor will run at up to the frequency defined in your chosen preset as long as the temperature of the chip does not reach 85 °C. Also, the overclocked frequencies will only be applied when the SoC is under load. When idling, it will happily use less power by turning the clockspeed down. Further, when applying the higher clocks, you are also adjusting the GPU Core, SDRAM, and system bus speed.
When combined with other software fixes (below), the Raspberry Pi Foundation is claiming various performance improvements. According to the site, Linux benchmark nbench reports 52% better integer performance, 64% increased floating point performance, and a 55% improvement in memory.
Left: default clockspeeds, right: 1GHz overclock
Should your particular Raspberry Pi not boot after applying a higher overclocking preset, you can hold down the Shift key during boot to force the Raspberry Pi to revert to default clockspeeds. Then, you can back down to the next-highest preset to see if the Raspberry Pi is capable of running at that (though it would be a better idea to start at the lowest preset and work your way up). The Raspberry Pi Foundation recommends playing through a bit of Quake 3 as it is a good indicator of a stable overclock.
In addition to the new turbo mode, a fix has been applied to the USB driver to reduce the USB interrupt rate, which improves performance approximately 10%. Because even the LAN port is on the USB bus, reducing CPU load should help a lot in freeing up the limited resources of the ARM processor for other tasks. If you have Wi-Fi devices based on the RTL8188CUS chipset or is otherwise supported by Linux, it should now work with the Raspberry Pi out of the box.
In order to get all of the above improvements (among a couple of other minor tweaks), you can run the following command to update to the latest image:
"sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
It's nice to see continued support for the Raspberry Pi, and the 'free' overclocking performance is always a plus!

Apple Produces the new A6 for the iPhone 5
Today is the day that world gets introduced to the iPhone 5. I of course was very curious about what Apple would be bringing to market the year after the death of Steve Jobs. The excitement leading up to the iPhone announcement was somewhat muted as compared to years past, and a lot of that could be attributed to what has been happening in the Android market. Companies like Samsung and HTC have released new high end phones that are not only faster and more expansive than previous versions, but they also worked really well and were feature packed. While the iPhone 5 will be another success for Apple, for those somewhat dispassionate about the cellphone market will likely just shrug and say to themselves, "It looks like Apple caught up for the year, but too bad they really didn't introduce anything really groundbreaking."
If there was one area that many were anxiously awaiting, it was that of the SOC (system on a chip) that Apple would use for the iPhone 5. Speculation went basically from using a fresh piece of silicon based on the A5X (faster clocks, smaller graphics portion) to having a quad core monster running at high speeds but still sipping power. It seems that we actually got something in between. This is not a bad thing, but as we go forward we will likely see that the silicon again only matches what other manufacturers have been using since earlier this year.
Prepare to be shocked ... ARM has negative things to say about Intel Inside phones
Subject: General Tech | September 7, 2012 - 02:27 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: arm, Intel, atom, atom z2460, ARM Army
It is hard to believe that competing tech companies might make comments about their competitors that could be construed as negative but it has happened today as ARM calls Intel power hungry. From what DigiTimes could gather, a VP at ARM suggested that the Atom architecture consumes more power in total than ARM processors, though he stayed away from any comment about processing power per watt. This could well be because handset makers describe the Z2460 as more powerful than the ARM and only slightly less power efficient, something the ARM Army would rather was not mentioned. In the coming months consumers will get a chance to compare this for themselves as Windows 8 phones running on both Intel and ARM hardware will become available for direct comparison.
"While Intel has been making efforts to tap the handset processor market, the company still has a long way to go to catch up with ARM in terms of power consumption, according to Noel Hurley, vice president for Marketing & Strategy, Processor Division, ARM."

ARM-A9 SOC showdown, Tegra 3 versus ODROID-X
Subject: Mobile | August 21, 2012 - 04:00 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: tegra 3, Samsung, nvidia, Exynos 4412, cortex-a9, arm
The participants in this System on a Chip showdown both bear long names, on one side is NVIDIA's Tegra 3 ARM SoC and on the other the ODROID-X Samsung Exynos 4412 quad-core ARM Cortex-A9. NVIDIA's offering is well known by now but the ODROID-X is a relative newcomer to the market, offering their product for about $130. After setting up Linux on these systems Phoronix got to benchmarking and the results will surprise NVIDIA fans as the ARM based system actually came out on top on quite a few of the tests.
"While not as popular as NVIDIA's Tegra 3 ARM SoC, the Samsung Exynos 4412 quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 found on cheaply priced ODROID-X can actually outperform the quad-core NVIDIA ARM processor. Here are benchmarks of the $129 USD ODROID-X benchmarked against the NVIDIA Tegra 3 reference tablet and a PandaBoard ES running the Texas Instruments OMAP4460."

Rumour has it Microsoft's Surface will be $200
Subject: General Tech | August 15, 2012 - 01:27 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: rumour, microsoft, arm, surface
With yesterdays announcement that Asus, Dell, Lenovo and Samsung will all be releasing ARM based WinRT systems, the rumour we are hearing from The Register today is very interesting. If indeed the ARM powered Surface will be selling for $200 it would be less than half of the price analysts predicted it would arrive at. That Acer is not on that list of manufacturers lends credence to their CEO's statement that the $200 Surface will have a negative impact on current tablet vendors. On the other hand, if it turns out that a reasonably functional and sturdy ARM based tablet/laptop can be designed and sold for $200 then it will be a definite win for the consumer and compete with Google's new tablet as well as certain high end eReaders.
"If the latest Redmond rumors are to be believed, Microsoft's ARM-based Surface tablet models could arrive priced as low as $199, positioning them as heavyweights in the burgeoning low-cost tablet category."

WinRT spreads to the major vendors after they touched the Surface
Subject: General Tech | August 14, 2012 - 02:54 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: winRT, asus, dell, Lenovo, Samsung, microsoft, arm
When Microsoft released their Surface tablet/notebook, the tech community wondered if this move by a software company would upset the Tier 1 hardware vendors who might not want the competition. That discussion was ended when Microsoft announced that Surface was a proof of concept and would be released in very limited qualities. Today The Inquirer reports on upcoming mobile devices running on ARM hardware and WinRT from all the major vendors, giving us a rough idea what to expect in the way of performance. The quoted specs include user interface animations at 60FPS and touchscreen sampling rates of 100Hz per finger. Battery life will be impressive, 320 hours and 409 hours of standby time and for video playback you can expect 8-13 hours of HD playtime, though they do not talk about the quality of that playback.
"SOFTWARE DEVELOPER Microsoft has revealed Asus, Dell, Lenovo and Samsung Windows RT devices will be available at the launch of the operating system.
Microsoft has been playing a very dangerous game with its Surface tablet hogging the Windows RT limelight, something that its long-term and invaluable partners will not like. Now the company has come out and said that Asus, Dell, Lenovo and Samsung will also have Windows RT devices when the operating system launches later this year."

Hey everybody! If you remember, last week I sent you on a mission to help me replace my L'Occitane Dry Skin Hand Creme that expired. I really truly love this cream, but the last time I went to use it, the smell deterred me.
To see the many Beauty Marks for a new hand cream, click here. I have chosen three that I liked out of the bunch you've suggested.
I can't thank you enough for all of your help; now I can have smooth and supple hands! To learn what a Beauty Mark is and how to do one click here.
Beauty Mark #1 found by swwonder is Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream, $4.39. It is a concentrated hand cream that began as a way to help the dry chapped hands of Norwegian fisherman who faced extremely harsh and cold weather.
It contains high levels of glycerin and no irritating fragrances. It took five years of development and clinical testing to finally arrive! Also, this lil' tube will last you a long time - over 200 applications.

to gerald and Trevor:
thank you for your input. I value all of your comments. As I stated earlier, I was hung-up on the "how", not so much on the outcome. I have also been to Russia. Three separate occasions, three different regions. As a matter of fact, the only continent that I have not set foot upon is Antarctica (and have no desire to). I have been to too many places to list without boring you to death......and this is all before the age of 30. And like you Trevor, I come from a long line of veterans. Both sides of my family. My mother and father's parents and siblings all fought WW2 (yes even the women were either commissioned or enlisted, no drafts all volunteer). I am so glad that I spent the time with each of them that I did when I was younger. I was told of first-hand accounts what the beaches of Normandy looked, sounded and smelled like. I was told of the unnatural cold of the Ardennes, of the extreme heat in S.E. Asia. About half went to Europe and the rest went to the Pacific. I eventually went on to visit some of the places they had been, both hemispheres. This does not necessarily mean that I always know what I am talking about, but I usually have a pretty good idea. When I am in doubt, I reach out to a trusted resource like Professor X and ask.
So, needless to say, I have served in numerous areas of operation in both hemispheres, so I have a unique knowledge of not only all of our armed forces capabilities but many NATO countries capabilities also. Well, in reference to our military, perhaps "all" is a bit of a stretch, but a huge chunk if it. To witness, from a command center, numerous Air Force flights coordinating with Naval Battle Groups and land Armies is nothing short of awe inspiring. Then sprinkle-in some NATO units, dump all of it into a war game off the coast of some third world hellhole, and the screens start to resemble a very sobering L.E.D. nightmare. But I personally witnessed numerous exercises of this scope. Why do I even mention this? Because I want to point out that the U.S. has been doing this type of training since the end of WW2. The tempo would increase and decrease over the years, but we have NEVER allowed or sabers to rust. Why is this important? Because our enemies HAVE NEVER trained like this individually let alone with their allies. This is a crucial reason that the U.S. continues to overwhelm the enemy with ungodly firepower never-heard-of-before accuracy...and do so in very short order. "Shock-and-awe" does not happen all by itself. Advanced technology does not operate and maintain itself. You can conduct your own investigation, if you wanted to, and find out what types of missile defense Iraq had prior to each conflict. You can also discover the types of aircraft they possessed and what type of armor they had in the field. If you obtained this information, and you really understood what you were looking at (don't mean that in a demeaning way), you would quickly realize that advanced technology is of no use what so ever if you don't know how to use it! So all of the training over all the years will be a MAJOR factor. Not to mention all of the updated lessons-learned over the last 15 years.
Now, as for as all of the many factors possible in any given military scenario.....before I start to jump to my old conclusions (which were never correct) I am trying to plug the (given) scenario into G.D. That's what I meant when I told John that he is always two or three steps ahead of me. This is because he is a subject matter expert and he automatically runs the scenario through G.D. It's natural for him.......I'm still a grasshopper. My goal is to try to catch up. I want to memorize as much G.D. as I can so that I too can apply it on the fly. So to speak. Sadly, I have no education or experience with the Financial Sector, so I will always be at a loss for explanations there. It is difficult for me to guage how much I may have learned so far in reference to finances but I do understand everything I read at G.D. because John dumbs-it-down to very plain language. All I have to do is read it. He takes years of education and experience and serves it up for free. In my world, this is the most valuable site on the internet.
