Hi all,
The subject is:
With HDMI port of Intel integrated graphics I get a visibly lower quality of text display than when using the DVI port.
motherboards: DH67GD and also DG45ID using Intel graphics.
Display: HP 2159m native resolution 1920x1080 60Hz, no scaling at display, last revision of the "driver" defined as windows 7 compatible.
windows 7 x64 home premium, up to date, before and after upgraded to SP1, all drivers are the latest from Intel.
When using HDMI port, the Intel graphics control panel enforces some overscan even when I select the first scaling option to keep the original size (no sclaling expected should be for me 1920x1080).
To fit the screen which is exactly 1920x1080 I need to select the second option to scale down with the value 50 to get the right size.
Doing this, a scaling is applied and the text is somewhat blurried (which I may understand).
The clear type tuning of windows 7 (applied before scalings) can't improve the text to make it as good as with DVI display.
What is wrong, in my opinion, is this extra overscan performed even when we select the option to keep the original size, and makes necessary a subsequent underscan.
This overscan is not present when using DVI port, only with HDMI.
Associated with HDMI the display monitor is defined as "digital television" (and I have no choice) on the contrary of DVI where it is known as a
computer display.
A Sapphire radeon HD4550 with the same systems, doesn't produce the same issue.
The scaling factor with this card allows an underscan only and if kept at 0% the text display is crisp like with DVI meaning that probably no scaling at all is performed in this 0% case.
Does somebody know a workaround to this issue, mainly in order to have no initial overscan in HDMI, to be capable of using the option to avoid scaling.
Hi again,
Googleing a lot I found somebody with the same issue and he proposed a solution to cancel the initial overscan that works.
You can find it at:
The interesting part is the chapter to cancel the initial overscan.
In summary, in the Graphics control panel in advanced mode:
Assuming you are with the HDMI monitor and have compensate the overscan as said in the first post:
- create a custum resolution 1920x1080 60Hz 32bit with 0 underscan percentage (slide) and CVT-RB timing standard.
- clic on add and accept to overwrite the existing resolution.
At this moment the resolution is applied and the screen becomes underscanned.
- go back to global parameters and cancel the scaling by selecting 100% on the two slides, and if available the first option to maintain the native size.(seems to have been removed with driver 2291).
The image now is filling the screen and the text is as good as in DVI mode.
Hope this will help people with the same issue, and not only for text because when text is fine video is even better.
Thanks that help a lot
With the newer drivers I didnt check if the issue and the solution are still the same. Reading your post it looks like yes.
I've got a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230026 hooked up to a http://www.afterdawn.com/products/product_details.cfm/2753/vizio_l42hdtv10a
It's an older TV, but man has it been amazing. Anyway, I'm having the same issues here. I went into the custom resolution and created 1280 x 720p (windows tells me thats its native even though it supports 1080p) with 0 underscanning. GTF timing will offset the entire picture to the right and the top and bottom of the picture will run off the side of the monitor. CVT will make it do the same thing except the picture offsets to the left and CVT RB will actually just make the tv flicker and it puts the picutre way way to the left... So far the way I've been using it is I've got it set to the non custom 1280x720 and I scale the ratio by 40 percent vertical and horizontal and it all fits on there in the center but the text is pretty lousy. Videos look fine though.
Anyone got any ideas?
setting a custom resolution in Intel graphics when the monitor is seen as a digital TV instead of a monitor, is a workaround to cancel the initial ovescan set by the driver.
Any resizing of the picture has a bad effect more visible with text screens.
The problem with your TV is probably that it does not accept a 1366x768 input resolution thru HDMI, only the more standard 1280x720 in TV world, and it performs a resizing to fit the 1366x768 native resolution of the screen.
It would do the same if you send it a 1920x1080 data, resizing down.
The only way to have no resizing would be to use a 1366x768 custom resolution using a TV input doing no resizing.
Try to connect the TV using a VGA cable and set everything to 1366x768 and no rescaling in TV menu if any.
Analog is not as good as digital, but in this case it may be, provided your TV accepts this computer resolution in VGA.
Instead of 60Hz it may be necessary to use 59. (also with 1920x1080 I discussed earlier).
Because VGA does not carry audio, you should find another path for audio, from the line output.
Well, I appreciate the advice but I'll probably stick with the hdmi. I'd have to use analog audio if I were to use RGB. Which looks great by the way.
I found a workaround to this issue for now. Basically, I took one of those DVI to HDMI converters and plugged the cable into the DVI port of my monitor instead of HDMI. So, I have an HDMI cable coming out of the laptop, then being converted to DVI on my monitor. The Intel HD no longer sees this as a digital TV and no longer runs at 59 HZ with the overscan issue.
For those of you who have the same problem and have an unused DVI port on your monitor, there are several ways to adapt this without spending much money. There are plenty of cables and converters to choose from if you look at buying one online. I cannot say this would work on any monitor but it did on mine. I have an HP 2709m which is a 27 inch LCD and have seen others referencing the same problem with an HP 2509m so I guess it would work on that one too. The one issue is if you only have one DVI port and need it, you will then need to convert DVI to HDMI to input that data. Unless you are using the same Intel HD graphics, it may work fine. Also, maybe this would also work without overscanning??? I don't know.
Anyway, I thought it was good to share this workaround.
what is your cpu model in your laptop ?
I've got a problem about connecting my laptop to lcd tv via hdmi-to-hdmi. The HDMI port is handled by SNB i3 2350m with the newest graphics driver. The resolution is OK and so does the scanning(non-over scanning).But the text on tv looks jagged or blurred or oversharpened also the colors looks washed out and over bright. I tried to adjust fuctions in OSD even in factory mode,didn't get any better. After that I found some information by searching. I've found that my lcd tv(actually most of lcd TVs) is able to recognize and deal with the DVI signal via HDMI connection(be compatible with DVI-HDMI adapter) . In this way,text and colors go back to as normal as monitors. Someone force display adapter (nvidia) to send out DVI signal during HDMI-HDMI connection by editing the EDID hex value to disable EDID extensional block(contain extra information of HDMI input device ) then make an *inf file as driver of tv. It works well on nvidia cards but not on my SNB i3. I'm not sure if it's driver of graphics' fault or SNB Integrated Graphics can only send out HDMI mode signal via HDMI port.
You have said that you connected monitor and laptop by HDMI-to-DVI converters successfully. is it SNB ?
With Sandy bridge and Intel's graphics drivers (up to now), when the monitor is detected as " digital TV" then there is an initial overscan done by the driver.
This is with HDMI port.
I gave, in the second post, a solution I found using a "customized resolution".
This is not to define a different resolution, but just to workaround this damned initial overscan.
There are other workarounds discussed here, all probabaly trying to make the driver no more detecting the monitor as a "digital TV", such as DVI / hdmi adapters or EDID hacking, but there is no need to use such workarounds to connect hdmi to hdmi, if you apply the customized resolution one.
You said "resolution is good" maybe because you tuned at some moment the slide to resize within Intel's graphics menu, but this is not a solution.
The solution is to check (again) in the OSD menu of the TV to cancel any resizing, any "improvement" effects, and select, if available, a choice such as "PC input" for your hdmi port.
Some Sony TV have an option looking like "display all pixels".
Some hdmi ports on your TV may have different features than others.
And then, or before, apply the "customized resolution" workaround.
I've tried another lcd tv of samsung which could disable all pre-processing inside the TV when turn to "pc mode" in OSD of TV. Turn out to be excellent in both text and color. That's exactly why I'm sure that there is no over-scanning via HDMI of SNB(driver of june,2011). Maybe it's the different treatment of TV between GTF and CVT RB rather than HD graphic itself,maybe.
The reason why I want HDMI to transmit DVI signal is that: My TV (not samsung) came out in 2009. It does support HDMI but is lack of support of HDMI comes from PC, so there is no switch of pre-processing in OSD. VGA port is normal but not good enough because of noise and multi-ghosting. But I've just tried to connect my desktop PC to my TV via HDMI of nvidia card. Once I disable HDMI audio in nvidia display control panel(no such switch in intel driver) or load the "modified EDID to *inf"(won't work in intel), the nvidia card send out DVI signal (known from OSD of TV showed: "DVI in 1920*1080@60hz") via HDMI-HDMI and texts and colors come back to normal as I wished. That means my TV disables inside pre-processing automatically when in DVI mode of HDMI port.
Because of the compatibility of HDMI and DVI. If HDMI port of HD graphics (SNB mobile) suppport to drive monitors by DVI inputs via HDMI-to-DVI cables or converters. then HD graphic of SNB is able to send out the DVI mode signal via HDMI output definitely from the hardware level.
I'm still looking for any way to force HD graphic output DVI signal via HDMI-HDMI.
You are probably right about the last rev. driver, for the first time I saw a different behaviour.
I installed yesterday the release ending by 2656, and switched back to HDMI to compare.
Now it says that I have a digital TV (in fact may HP2159m monitor) with a 1920x1080 59p resolution.
This 59pHz seems new compared to to 59Hz or 60Hz I had before, and there is also the choice for switching among the various standards proposed by the monitor, 50p, 50i,and so on.
And there is no initial overscan as before, using "maintain the scale".
You can try to switchoff sound from HDMI using windows sound properties to redirect it to a jack output, but I am not confident this will be understood as "no sound then DVI" instead as "silent sound" by the TV set.
You can also check if defining a new display with similar characteristics as your TV but known as "standard monitor" in windows proposed displays, makes a difference.
I tried to disable HDMI audio in device manager at the very first time.
It's "silent sound" as you estimated.
I've found more information that prove intel HD graphics do not care much about custom *inf of TV or monitor driver.
I've sent an email to confirm it and by the way get some help on this to the technical support since Friday, not replied yet.
Looks like I'll have to wait the newer drivers of intel (kind of waste times) .
or back to the typical VGA port.
thanks for reply
I just got your reply about the HDMI issue. I have 4 laptops that don't play nice with this monitor. All of them are HP's with Intel's latest Sandy Bridge HD video. Two are Core i5's (identical units), one is a quad Core i7, and the other is a Core i3. They are all very similar and the same chipset and graphics driver applies to all. As stated by others, this is an overscan issue when the adapter sees the monitor as a Digital TV. The custom resolution workaround works for me but reverts back to normal as soon as the computer is rebooted or the screen falls asleep and is woke back up. This was extremely annoying but I got very fast as changing the resolution. As stated by others, the text isn't nearly as clear when in the overscan/underscan modes. It becomes crystal clear when I change the resolution or with the more permanent workaround below.
Anyway, all the adapters in question here are Intel. None are SNB and none are NVIDIA or ATI based. This is why I posted my messages to an Intel forum instead of somewhere else.
My current workaround is to use HDMI to DVI adapters and the monitor is no longer seen as a TV so it comes up correctly every time now. The bad part about this is I now have to use a DVI to HDMI adapter so that I can connect other PC's that use DVI instead of HDMI. This seems like a lot of work but it functions correctly and there is no issue with text display, etc. I suspect that an Intel driver update might solve the problem but this works for now and I am not complaining. I spent hours researching this online and even considered purchasing a new monitor and haven't looked at it since things are working with the cabling adapters.
I think the monitor and adapter simply do not play nice together. I found someone with the same series of monitor (25 inch version where I have 27 incher) that was having the exact problem on a Dell with the same chipset. I don't think this is a computer issue. I think it is related to the adapter/monitor playing well together.
Let me know if this answers any questions.
Using custom resolution, try to define two custom resolutions, with the same parameters, except for the frequency, set 59 for one and 60 for the other.
As I said in the previous post, it seems that the last revision 2656 (win7 x64) solves this issue (nothing about in the release notes).
I installed it yesterday only, and checked this morning, however because I just upgraded the previous revision I am not 100% confident.
For the previous driver updates, each time I updated the driver I had to redefine the custom resolutions to cancel overscan, for 2656 I had no need to do this and there is no more ovescan.

Keeping up with the latest trends of the season can be just as important as knowing what NOT to wear. Case in point: these five spring trend no-nos. Thread host and supermodel Jessica Stam has the looks to avoid this spring.
Drop-waist dresses - While these may have been the go-to dresses for flappers, these frocks do the exact opposite of what a modern woman is looking for in terms of flattering her shape. With baggy midsections and a waist that hits at the hips, you're accentuating the widest part of your body. And who wants that?
High-waisted, tapered trousers - These pants add bulk to your midsection and eliminate all chances of flaunting your womanly shape. No thank you!
Bermuda shorts - Bermuda has given us many things to be thankful for--white sand beaches, cerulean waters, and calypso music--but one thing we're not happy about are so-called Bermuda shorts. By cutting the leg off visually and making just about anyone who wears them look stumpy, they are just plain unflattering.
Lucite heels - Ten times out of ten, these heels look cheap and less-than-classy. Not for us!
Overdone florals - We know florals and spring go hand in hand (just ask Miranda Priestley), but in this case, there is such a thing as overkill. Avoid looking like a garden exploded in your closet and steer clear of head-to-toe or neon flower prints.
What are your least favorite trends this season? Tell us in the comments!

BOUNTIFUL — Duncan Lighting, which has had its home on Main Street for decades, is closing its storefront business as soon as its inventory there sells out.
However, the specialty lighting dealer won't be going out of business for good. Instead, the Duncan family is moving all its sales online to mylightingsource.com.
"In a nutshell, the storefront just wasn't doing enough business," said store manager Ken Duncan, whose father owns the business. "It wasn't profitable enough and the e-commerce does rally well in the new kind of business that is out there."
It's difficult to compete with big box stores and other websites, Duncan said. He added that many people assume that shopping in those locations will be less expensive, but that is often untrue. Selection is also an issue. His shop carries hundreds of brands, but other stores have five or six at most, Duncan said.
The storefront is likely to close in about six weeks.
"We've kind of been forced into this position," Duncan said. "We wish we weren't, but it is what it is."

Tattoos >Your Design Or Mine Tattoos
709 Allendale Dr, Lexington, KY | Directions 4050338.027725 -84.534367
Neighborhoods: Garden Springs
Scotty has done 2 large tats for me and one small one, and they are excellent and at a good price. I have driven from norther West Virginia twice to see Scotty, and well worth the trip.
Had to get it fixed :( – I was originally going to Tattoo Charlies since my husband has gotten 2 wonderful tattoos there. My mother in law was going to see Scotty and I went too. Scotty wasn't there but Conn talked me into getting the one I wanted with him. It looked awful. It was blotchy and kind of embarrassing. I went to Tattoo Charlies and got it fixed 2 days ago and wish I would have went there to begin with. I DO NOT recommend them! Now that I am a nurse (was not at the time when Conn did my tat) and they were not as sanitary as Charlies. I hope my review helps someone.
Nice tat work but poor customer service – I had been recommended this shop and have a close relative get work here done years ago with great results so I went to them for my tattoo. They were very friendly but were a bit insensitive to the struggle I was going through that my tattoo was representative of so later that evening I sent them a polite email to let them know how happy I was with my tattoo but that their unintentional insensitivity had stung a bit. I got an email back telling me to "lighten up". I emailed again saying I was just trying to give them a heads up on how they could be a little more sensitive to their customers and received back an email telling me to find another shop for future work and "quit taking my problems out on others". Nice customer service. If this is how they react to polite constructive criticism I would hate to see their response to a truly irate customer.
Conn rocks!! – I love this shop! I drive all the way from Central New York just to get work done by Conn. I got my nosed pierced there as well, and was very nervous. The woman that does the piercings calmed me down and it came out perfect! I will continue to drive to KY to see Conn! Wonderful free hand work, does exactly what you want, and he fixed 2 tattoos that I wasn't happy with I had done here in NY, I can't say enough! Very clean shop, appt was on time, and everyone is very nice!
I stop in there to say hi even if I'm not getting work done. See you next month guys for more work!
awsome – ive gotten 2 piercings here & i had a great experience the ppl are nice very clean & professional i plan on going to get my first tattoo done here also
ewwwwwwwwww – these people SUCK
theyre wayyy over priced, the chick that does piercings looks f_cked up all the time, you tell scotty to do one thing and he goes totally different; you shouldnt do that unless the customer ask in my oppinion. ive seen him do HORRIBLE work. there are sooooo many better tattoo artist in lexington and its dirty.
STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!1 – they for real had a 15 yr old doing tattoo work! they are really dirty, messed up my calf sooo bad. everyone is like wtf and can;t really find any good cover up tats unless i get a whole sleeve on my leg. they won't do free touch ups either they say $25 just to pay for the needle... seeing as needles are about $1 including tubing and a pair of gloves. they are crooks. stay away. there is a reason they haven't relocated to a better/more accessible area. and piercings are bad bad bad. just go somewhere else. not this place or sullen ink. any where else is cool
I got a great tattoo done by C*nn. Great price and great people. Like I said in the cons area the tattoo chair I layed in wasn't very comfortable for the tattoo I was getting on my calf but I took a couple breaks and it was fine. Its one of my new favorite tattoos. Thanks to everyone there!
@ralestothewall: Almost sounds like those as*holes at castle of color paid you to say this. I've had nothing but problems over there.
f*cked up tattoo work – got a tat by c*nn it sucked bad. must have been drunk. place was filthy i should have ran. had to go get antibiotics. owner tried to fix FOR A FEE! it was worse, and had to go to doctor again, and i am a clean person. then c*nns wife showed up raising hell and fighting like a moron. STAY AWAY! FINALLY WENT TO A CHICK NAMED SARAH at castle of colors and she covered it comepletely up, and made my nightmare go away. i am their client for life now

Raleigh >Food & Dining > Steak 'N Shake

Mon. - Sun. 24 Hours
Neighborhoods: Northeast
Do not judge all Steak n Shakes by this one! – Being from the Midwest, the home of Steak n Shake, I know what they are SUPPOSED to be like. I grew up on the steak burgers, skinny fries, and chili, and WHEN DONE CORRECTLY, they are delicious.
This steak and shake does not seem to know how it is done. The wait staff is inattentive and stretched too thin. They do not refill drinks in a timely manner and food is typically not served as ordered, with errors and omissions occurring regularly. Last time I was there I ordered a double cheeseburger and only received one meat patty. My husband ordered cheese on the side of his fries and it was poured on top, and we had to ask specifically for our waitress to bring out the chili I had ordered.
Steak n Shake is typically a good, reliable place to eat, but this location does not fall into that category. Corporate needs to do a refresher course, STAT!
Typical Poor Service Fast Food – Went through the drive through to get lunch. Took forever to get the food and of course, when we got home, it was the wrong order. Seems like all fast food places are the same, and I thought Steak and Shake may be a little different, but I was wrong. $20 for lunch and didn't get what we ordered. Won't go there again.
Poor service – Don't eat here unless you have 2 hours to eat dinner! I thought Steak n Shake was suppose to be a fast food place. This location is slow about everything! I've been to this location 3 times & the service is always horrible! I have decided to never eat at this location again! The reviews before me speak for themselves. I'm not the only one who's had a bad experience at this place. They really need to find more polite and quick waiters.
Manager Tony... – Just to start off I want everyone to know that for the most part, Steak n Shake is a decent place to eat with a GREAT GM and a good group of staff (the long timers) I give a rating of only one star due to the fact that this restaraunt is sooooooooo desperate for managers that they have to hire back some one like Tony, what the hey? If you want hire back good people, what ever happened to Manager Tonya, Bobby, or Mr. Leroy? If Tony is so great, with such high qualifications, why did he come crawling back to a job he walked out on?
Manager Tony has been known to be a rude and very unlikable person to customers, not to mention back stabbing to staff. no wonder NO ONE else would have him.......just remember old boy..what goes around comes around and you've got a couple comin..........
Steak n Shake – Sorry! I tried but you can't please everyone, all the time.. Sorry again but I really, really did try to make her happy! 'o)
Worst customer service I have ever experienced – Tonight, I went to Steak N' Shake with my family. We were expecting to be in and out in 30 minutes. We were there for 2 hours and FIVE sandwich remakes. The manager, Leroy Snead, copped an attitude with us. Our waiter, Liz, was wonderful and kept apologizing. We managed to get our meal comped, but we will never be coming back here and we will tell others to not come back.
Great burgers and Shakes – Unfornately, for us there is only one Steak and Shake in the Raleigh area. We hear that that will be changing in the next few years. We have eaten at this locale a few times in the past year and have yet to have a bad experience. Even the salads were great and it's a great value and family friendly.

Hello Everyone,
Back from vacation, and it AWESOME! My iPhone, can't quite say the same. It was bombarded with new apps and updates and blah blah blah. However, it's been running really slow, like hitting the home button and waiting 30 seconds for response? Alternatively, apps tell me I'm running low on memory and I need to reboot. Looked through search and can't find a definite answer, so I was considering doing a complete restore to a normal iPhone. It kinda sucks because I only jail broken it for the use of themes to personalize. So my question is, what's making it run slow? And what else do you do with a jailbroken iPhone?
Thanks Much,
Jason E.

Interesting, alright. This means an agent could potentially also infect a missile guidance system (in any country) to bring about a stealth nuclear strike against the host country or an enemy. Very concerning.... I say we get rid of nukes altogether.
Good idea about getting rid of the nukes. While we're working on that, we could get rid of the USB ports on systems that are expected to be highly secure. In Windows, it's a minor effort with the group policy editor to just disable all the ports.

Exploring mathematics builds on the concepts and techniques in Using mathematics (MST121) and uses the same software. It looks at questions underlying some of those techniques, such as why particular patterns occur in mathematical solutions and how you can be confident that a result is true. It introduces the role of reasoning and offers opportunities to investigate mathematical problems. Together with Using mathematics this module will give you a good foundation for higher-level mathematics, science and engineering modules. Even if you don't intend to study further, you will gain a good, university-level understanding of the nature and scope of mathematics.
You are advised to be confident with the content of Using mathematics (MST121), or equivalent from elsewhere, before commencing study of this module.
Modules at Level 2 assume that you are suitably prepared for study at this level. If you want to take a single module to satisfy your career development needs or pursue particular interests, you don't need to start at Level 1 but you do need to have adequately prepared yourself for OU study in some other way. Check with our Student Registration & Enquiry Service to make sure that you are sufficiently prepared.
Exploring mathematics offers both a way in to honours-level mathematics and deeper insights into the mathematics that supports other areas of study. It rounds off the suite of modules designed to provide a rich and enlightening introduction to mathematical ideas and techniques.
This module builds on the approach and design of the University's Level 1 module Using mathematics (MST121), extending the mathematical concepts and techniques (to cover more calculus, for example), the range of applications, and use of the module software. It looks at questions underlying some of the methods from MST121, such as why particular patterns occur in mathematical solutions, and how you can be confident that a result is true. It introduces the role of reasoning in mathematics, and offers opportunities to investigate mathematical questions for yourself. By the end of the module you will have encountered many of the topics that are developed in later mathematics modules, in particular in our main Level 2 modules Pure mathematics (M208), and Mathematical methods and models (MST209) or from October 2014 Mathematical methods, models and modelling (MST210). It also provides a good mathematical basis for modules in physics and engineering.
There are four sections, with each of the first three revisiting and developing the ideas introduced in the corresponding section in MST121. An important theme that runs through the module is mathematical reasoning.
Work on numbers and sequences is extended to Fibonacci and related sequences; that on circles is extended to the study of other conic sections. There is further exploration of the properties of functions and matrices, including applications in transformation geometry. The computer is used to help with important ideas of iteration in discrete mathematics. The ideas of calculus are extended to include more sophisticated techniques of differentiation and integration and use in the approximation of functions using Taylor series.
The last section of the module introduces important mathematical ideas, such as complex numbers, number theory and groups, that are built on in later modules. It concludes with a chapter on the role of proof in mathematics.
The module also develops more general skills such as communication of mathematical ideas, which will be useful in studying later modules.
Successful study of this module should improve your skills in:
This module is the third part of the mathematics entry suite that starts with Discovering mathematics (MU123) and goes on to Using mathematics (MST121) and MS221. Your choice of which to take depends on how much mathematical knowledge you already have and on the degree you have in mind. It is not advisable to take either MST121 or MS221 in the same year as MU123, and you should not take MS221 before studying MST121.
If you start in October it is possible – for some qualifications where regulations allow – to study MST121 and MS221 together in a single year as if they are a 60-credit module, as the material in the two modules is linked.
If you have any doubt about the suitability of the module, or about choosing the most suitable mathematics entry module, please contact our Student Registration & Enquiry Service.
As a student of The Open University, you should be aware of the content of the Module Regulations and the Student Regulations which are available on our Essential documents website.
An integral part of study on this module is the use of specific software, which includes on-screen graphs and mathematical notation. Parts of this module are delivered online and through a CD-ROM so you will need to spend considerable amounts of time using a personal computer. If you use specialist hardware or software to assist you in operating a computer or accessing the internet and have any concerns about accessing the types of study materials outlined you are advised to talk to our Student Registration & Enquiry Service about support which can be given to meet your needs.
Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) versions of the printed study materials are available. However some Adobe PDF components may not be available or fully accessible using a screen reader and mathematical materials may be particularly difficult to read in this way. The study materials are also available on audio in DAISY Digital Talking Book format. Written transcripts are available for the audio-visual material. Our Services for disabled students website has the latest information about availability.
If you have particular study requirements please tell us as soon as possible, as some of our support services may take several weeks to arrange. Visit our Services for disabled students website for more information, including:
Module books, computer software on CD-ROM, audio CD, DVD (for video material), website.
Audio CD and video DVD playback facilities; scientific or graphics calculator.
You require internet access at least once a week during the module to download module resources and to keep up to date with module news. If your tutor offers online tutorials, we also recommend a headset with a microphone and earphones to talk to your tutor and other students online.
You will need a computer with internet access to study this course. It includes online activities – you can access using a web browser – and some course software provided on disk.
You can also visit the Technical requirements section for further computing information including the details of the support we provide.
You will have a tutor who will help you with the study material, mark and comment on your written work, and whom you can ask for advice and guidance. We may also be able to offer group tutorials or day schools that you are encouraged, but not obliged, to attend. Where your tutorials are held will depend on the distribution of students taking the module. Contact our Student Registration & Enquiry Service if you want to know more about study with The Open University before you register.
The assessment details for this module can be found in the facts box above.
Please note that TMAs for all undergraduate mathematics and statistics modules must be submitted on paper as – due to technical reasons – we are unable to accept TMAs via our eTMA system.
Each TMA typically consists of six questions, covering one Block of the module. Each of the questions typically involves some calculation, algebraic manipulation, creating and/or interpreting a graph, some written work to explain your interpretations and conclusions, and may involve using the module software and providing printouts. The first TMA is to be submitted about eight weeks after the start of the module.
The examination contains two parts. The first consists of short answer questions covering the whole of the module. The second contains longer questions, one on each Block, and you are required to attempt up to two of these.
This module may help you to gain membership of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA). For further information, see the IMA website.
The details given here are for the module that starts in February and October 2014, when it will be available for the last time.
The combination of the Level 1 module Using mathematics (MST121) and this module (MS221) will be replaced by Essential mathematics 1 (MST124) available from February 2014 and either Essential mathematics 2 (MST125) available from October 2014 or Mathematical methods (MST224).

Customer Reviews for Child Safe Brown Good Housekeeping Top Down/Bottom Up
"Found it!"
By customer
I wanted a roman shade with both blackout and light filtering options (for master bedroom and coordinated master bath)cordless, with a pattern so it wasn't a solid, plain color. And I wasn't willing to pay $400 per window. I shopped for 4 months, department stores, home improvement stores and many online sites. This was the only place that had everything I wanted and I'm very pleased with my selection. And I saved almost $200 per window! Diligence pays off.View this product
"As good as I hoped for."
By Love cellular shades! from Hendersonville, NC
They were the right size and look nice. This is the second time I have bought from blindsgalore and have been satisfied both times. This is a great place to get what you can't find in stores.View this product

With TKO 22 "Lionheart" coming up next Friday, I thought id experiment with a different way of doing previews and I will be trying something a bit more simple and methodical. I will be comparing each fighters strengths and weakness and extrapolating a prediction on what SHOULD happen, minus the chaos factor of a fight. So, my analysis is about what SHOULD happen. Id like to have your general feedback about this formula. TKO 22 will be taking place at the Pierre Charbanneau centre in Montreal on September 30th.
Steve Vigneault Vs Jason St-Louis
Vigneaults particulars: Great boxer, very aggressive, has a lot of heart, very hard to take down, coming back from a couple of hard losses.
St-Louiss particulars: Good boxer too, very complete, very intelligent and well prepared fighter.
What SHOULD happen?: Even the wiser ones can get psyched out in an intense fight atmosphere. The place is going to erupt for the Lionhearts comeback and I think St-Louis might get trapped in the daze and will try to trade blow for blow with Vigneault, in an exchange that might play against him.
Vigneault by unanimous decision.
Marvin Eastman Vs Yan Pellerin
Eastmans particulars: Very strong, very athletic, powerful low kicks, experienced wrestler, doesnt always have a good fight plan, questionable chin. Pellerins particulars: Aggressive brawler, good takedowns, good ground and pound, usually HAS a good fight plan, had some injuries in the past.
What SHOULD happen?: Im predicting the upset here. Eastman hasnt been impressive in a while. Pellerin isnt exactly UFC championship material, but hes a durable, no nonsense fighter whos going to take advantage of Eastmans dilemmas on the ring. Pellerin will take Eastman down and work his way into a decision from there.
Pellerin by split decision
Ryan Diaz Vs Mark Hominick
Diazs particularities: Good knees, very fast, very athletic, versatile fighter, good submissions, on a hot streak.
Hominicks particularities: Great kickboxer, blazing hand speed, great ring generalship and ring movement, has shown holes in his ground game.
What SHOULD happen?: Damn, again I predict another upset. Diaz is hot stuff right now. Hominick is going to be really hard to beat, but Diazs aggressive nature is going to make the difference this time. Hes going to trade with Hominick until he has room for a takedown and then work his magic from there.
Diaz by submission in the third.
Chris Horodecki Vs Stéphane Laliberté
Horodeckis particulars: Very short fighter, very young but has already a lot of experience, billed as a future star, on a hot streak.
Lalibertés particulars: Very agressive, wild stand-up, awkward unorthodox fighter, has been on a bad streak.
What SHOULD happen?: Ill go straight to the point. I dont see how different will it be from the Laliberté Vs Stout fight. I think were going to have a good showcase of Horodeckis talent.
Horodecki by KO in the first
Thierry Quenneville Vs Max Marin
Quennevilles particulars: Very well rounded, straightforward but aggressive stand-up game, good wrestler, very methodical and focused, opportunist in the ring.
Marins particulars: Very good ground game, has good experience, wants to make his place in TKO.
What SHOULD happen?: In good workmanlike fashion, Quenneville should use every tool in his toolbox to take Marin out of his element. Quenneville will use his wrestling skills to remain standing or on top and will pick Marin apart from there.
Quenneville by TKO in the third
Tyler Jackson Vs Samuel Guillet
Jacksons particulars: Hard hitter, good left hook, strangely hasnt been seen much despite a strong performance against Sam Stout.
Guillets particulars: Good boxer, very strong, straightforward but effective ground game, very aggressive and always well focused.
What SHOULD happen?: I dont think Guillet is gonna waste anytime trading with a guy like Jackson. Hes more complete and I think hes going toi exploit his training with Fabio Holanda right away and take Jackson down into his world.
Guillet by submission in the second (kimura)
Dave Parizeau Vs Mike Turner
Parizeaus particulars: Somewhat of a good kickboxer, good right hand, fearless, has shown problems defending the takedowns in the past.
Turners particulars: Good kickboxer? (I know hes from Shawn Tompkins squad, but I really dont know much more about him)
What SHOULD happen?: I hope it turns out into an all-out stand up war. Parizeau just won a kickboxing fight recently so he might be in the mood to slug it out with Turner and I think that is what is going to happen. The fight will start out on the feet and for whatever reason, Parizeau will try to get this on the mat. I think Turner will have to weather a lot of storms, but might be able to make his kickboxing play a big role in this fight.
Turner by TKO in the third (cut)

I dont understand why campuses would ban ROTC.
In theory, their students are in the process of exploring options and are adults making adult choices.
Why remove the option from those to be explored?
No one has to enroll/enlist, anymore than anyone has to take the class "history of handmade lace in the netherlands".

Aunt Babe's Mashed Potatoes
Author Notes: My Aunt Babe has made this dish every Christmas Eve for as long as anyone can remember. I know mashed potatoes are the simplest dish in the world to make, but hear me out folks. You have likely never tasted any potato dish even remotely as decadent, rich, supple and delectable as this. - F for Food
Serves 6-8
- 6 Russet potatoes
- 1 3/4 Sticks of unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup Canned, evaporated milk, diluted
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Bake potatoes for an hour to an hour and a half, or until easily pierced with a fork. Scoop out all of the insides and toss skins (or do something else creative with them).
- Lower oven temperature to 350.
- In a mixing bowl add potato insides, 1 and ½ sticks of butter, salt & pepper. With a hand mixer, slowly add diluted milk while keeping an eye on maintaining the moisture. Aunt Babe said that the secret is the moisture.
- Put mixture into a casserole dish and add "dabs" of remaining butter along the top. Bake until you see "little peaks of brown on top", about 15-20 minutes, and serve.

They took far longer to bake than indicated in the recipe. I just have to wonder, why bother with evaporated milk? In for a penny, in for a pound with all that butter, so why not go all the way with cream? The evaporated milk gave it an odd, cooked taste.
over 1 year ago pimimond
Weird and gummy, NOT worth the effort of baking then mashing. A big FLOP!
over 1 year ago F for Food
Yowza! I'm so sorry to hear that! I made it for my Thanksgiving this year (as always) and it turned out great. I'll got through my recipe and make sure I didn't type it out incorrectly. I hope you had a great holiday, regardless!

What is the dilution ratio on the evaporated milk?
over 1 year ago F for Food
The 1:1 ratio is best. Evaporated milk, diluted with an equal amount of water, has about the same consistency as milk, albeit with a bit of a cooked taste. Undiluted it functions as a lower fat alternative to cream.

This looks good to me - can't wait to make it!

Just starting week 3 and feeling great!
I can feel myself getting stronger and able to do more with my workouts! Im still having a challenge sticking to 6 meals a day. I get really hungry at night. Last night I had a 250 calorie snack at 9:30 just so I could sleep. I woke up this morning with a very flat stomach, though, which was a nice surprise!
My free day was way over used a few days ago so I dont think Im going to have free for all free days anymore :) My face and neck are slimming out ALOT and my pants dont feel as tight around my waist but still pretty snug on my hips and thighs.
I have more energy and my mind is not so fuzzy!!
Anyway just wanted to put my update out there!! Hope all of you are kickin' butt and hitting your 10's!!!
Good luck, faithfulcatholic (another thing I aspire to be btw!). Its amazing how something as simple as noticing some perceivable loosening in your clothes can motivate!
Love your comment! It was encouraging in many ways! Where are you on your challenge?
LOL ... you are starting week 3? I am starting DAY 3 ... started Monday 7/22 .... and have gotten through a WHOLE ENTIRE TWO DAYS.
Jokes aside, I have started before and not seen it through. I managed to lose a significant amount of weight about 2 years ago and have been watching it creep back. Have kind of a significant personal event in mid October and just got mad at myself and said "Do this program ... now!". And leaning on this site for support.
I started 2 other times before. One time I started right after my son was born and my husband was on a deployment and it was too much. Then I started for the second time when my third child was just 2 months old. It was too fast after he was born and I ended up developing some health problems from trying too much too soon. But now my youngest is almost 1 1/2 and I feel confident I can do this.
You should give your self a big pat on the back. The first week is hard! Youll be at week 3 before you know it. I made a chart with a pyramid that has a space for each week building on top of one another and I shade in each week as I finish with a big COMPLETED next to it. Its been fun watching it slowly get shaded in! Hopefully we can continue to encourage one another along this journey!
Your "excuses" are better than mine. I would just self sabotage ... miss a couple work outs or go on a food binge and decide that meant the entire thing was ruined and "what's the use?".
Shortsighted "quitter" mentality. I accept that I will not do this thing perfectly. I may not even do it particularly well. But I WILL do it.
The bad news ... I did not hit my "10"s today ... I'm not sure I hit 6/7s .. but but but ... I DID get to the gym at a time OTHER than I had planned and when it looked like I would miss it altogether! And that in itself is something!
You know, I started the weight lifting portion this time and for the first 2 weeks I only did 1 workout per muscle group instead of the 2 per each that we are suppose to do but I just congratulated myself on that and moved on and now Im able to add more on this week. So your 6/7's are still something. Next week they'll by your 5's or warm ups!
You are strong for going to a gym. It would be very hard for me so I workout at home. You should high five yourself (is possible :) ) for getting out, to workout! :)
I have always been a quitter and people know me for that. I'll share this with you since you made the comment about being Catholic, I have incorporated a spiritual aspect into this challenge. Ive picked some of the virtues I really wanted to work on and I focus on those. Two virtues in particular: self-control and perseverance. The other day when I was "jogging" (if you could call it that) up a hill for my 10, I thought I was going to die but I just repeated in my head over and over again that by Gods grace I could have some control over myself and that I could persevere through that last minute of pain. And you know what, I did and I am now that much stronger in being able to have my body be under control of my spirit(which is then in line with Gods will). My husband has a degree in theology...so Im getting alittle theological over here LOL...sorry. My point is that before in challenges or in anything I did, I would look at it from a stand point of just barring through the pain in order to fit into a certain size or to see a number on the scale but I was so lazy and uncommitted in life and I couldnt stick with anything. Ive gotten to a point where I want to be a committed person and to be able to be strong and capable and not just physically but all around.
Ok...so Ive just poured it all out there :) Hopefully I dont sound crazy. I just wanted to share my struggle and how I am using BFL as an outlet to help overcome some of my hardships in life and to be an encouragement to you and others who may come across this thread!!
@Faithfulcatholic - Nah, you don't sound crazy at all. ;) I think following through with BFL speaks a lot more about character than a commitment to losing weight or getting to a certain size (though I won't lie, for me, wearing a pair of single-digit jeans and getting as far away from the plus size section of the store as fast as possible certainly is a motivating factor!)
LOL....Laurathelibrarian I would absolutely love to be in the single digits too! Im rooting for you!!!
Can't relate to "single digit jeans" ... a 34" waist and under 220 pounds would be very very nice though.
Faithful ... I understand that this is not necessarily the place to get overly "theological" ... but I can relate (to use a dated phrase). The faith and physical journey can go hand in hand and the one can bolster the other. Our bodies and spirits are spate but certainly interconnected.
And you most certainly do not sound "crazy" ... at least not to someone who's said the rosary on fingers to pass the time while on the treadmill (lol).
Rosary on your fingers...LOVE IT!!!! Thanks for the encouragement!
Hey, there are worse ways to spend the time, eh? Seriously, it does take about half of a 20 minute aerobic workout to do it and helps pass the time. Spiritual and physical multitasking!

As always, Tim Gunn is hesitant to call anything a 'Fashion Don't,' because he likes to view the clothing in the context of the wearer's personality. "The clothes we wear send a message about how we're perceived."
WATCH: Tim Gunn's Spring Fashion Do's and Don'ts
That said, sometimes looks can send confusing messages, so rather than trash celebrities, he and Ali discussed "the most perplexing" celebrity looks of all time.
High on Tim's list is Helena Bonham Carter, whose red carpet style he finds, "a little off-putting." He may also have whispered the phrase "hot mess."
Also on the list is Paris Hilton. "I think we're the butt of all her jokes," says Tim. "She dresses to be a ridiculous cartoon character."

Number one on Tim's list, he says, has offended a lot of people in the past. To see his controversial pick, and a few celebs who always get it right, watch this episode of Daily Shot.

"We received our announcements 3 days after shipment and that was including a holiday in between! Opened the package and they took my breath away. I never imagined they would turn out so perfect. I will definitely keep doing business with Tiny Prints!!!!"
"I used a black and white image with my baby wearing a pink bow that matched her name placed in the new arrival area. The printing came out perfect! The colors were a fantastic match! The paper quality was excellent. I can't wait to send these out to family and friends. I thought the design was simple, but sweet. Something to have for a long time to commemorate the birth of our daughter!"
"Great options for the number if photos you can put on the announcement. Loved the text details and paper quality was excellent. People have been calling to tell me how much they loved the announcement. Of course the cute baby helps, but this design was perfect!"
"The announcement came out absolutely beautiful. We rounded the corners and used the pearlized paper. We also took advantage of adding 3 more photos to the back of the card since we had so many great newborn session photos. We felt that this card was truly a reflection of our precious angel and we couldnt be happier with the elegance, quality and final product."
"Loved this announcement. Everyone who received it thought it was a fun and creative idea. Turned out exactly as pictured for the most part. The yellow background was a little more yellow than the beige-ish pictured. Elegant and lovely way to announce the beginning of a wonderful fairy tale!"

This summer, more than 100 students from the Washoe County School District have been studying in the College of Education at UNR through the Dean's Future Scholars program. Many of them are current high school students, working toward their diploma. Through the academic portion of the program, students can earn credits in Algebra 1, Geometry 1-2, Algebra 2 or American Government courses.
"We are pretty lucky that we get to have a class and we don't have to pay for it," Reed High School student Aracely Aguirre said. "We get the credit and it is free. So I think we are pretty lucky there. I think we should all be grateful for that, but we also get to see our friends that we might not go to school with. We look forward to seeing everybody and our mentors every summer."
Reed High student Pablo Izquierdo entered the program during seventh grade after a teacher referred him and told him it would be beneficial. He said the first couple years in the program were spent getting to know everyone and understanding what academic endeavors lied ahead, all of which have helped him when returning to Reed after summer.
"It has been helping to get things in order and it helps with time management," Izquierdo said, adding that getting a jump on his high school studies will benefit his future plans of practicing sports medicine.
The program's goal of enhancing students' interest in education and its tangible benefits largely rests on the ability of Program Director Mariluz Garcia to harness students' attention early. By approaching them in sixth grade, Garcia ensures their interest will hold throughout their tenure in high school and continue until they enter college.
"The early intervention is what makes Dean's Future Scholars so special," Garcia said. "Starting in the sixth grade, students become comfortable navigating the college campus and, most importantly, they build strong relationships with other program participants and staff who come from similar backgrounds. Ultimately, students realize they can be the first generation in their family to graduate from high school and receive a college degree."
Upon graduation from high school, Dean's Future Scholars students enter the internship element of the program, which places them in various departments throughout campus for more experience in the college environment. Recent Reed High graduate Andrew Garcia said making it to the internship portion of the program has proved the progression he has experienced.
"It has definitely progressed," Garcia said of his time spent in the program. "It is a little bit harder and a little more time management needs to be applied. If you do the work and put more time and effort into it, it is a piece of cake."
When asked what he found most enjoyable about the program, having participated since the seventh grade, Garcia said the friendships made along the way stand out.
"The people, definitely," he said. "I have met so many people and you grow up with them. When you get to my age, you know them so well you talk to them as though you have known them all your life.
"Also the mentors are your best friends. They have brought leadership and they have always been or tried to be really responsible, to be an example to us and to show us what we need to do and how we need to do it. They are always friendly, and in the very end, when you see them graduate, you kind of lose a piece of yourself because they are not there anymore."
Dean's Future Scholar students also give back to the community through various service projects during the summer at local spots such as Rancho San Rafael Park, Swan Lake Nature Study and Martin Luther King Park. Aguirre said boxing food at the local Food Bank was her favorite project because it showed the power of teamwork and she said it provided a more clear picture of her own life.
"I think the Food Bank was most memorable because we really worked as a team," she said. "The mentors helped out and it wasn't just us. I think we got to know each other more. The Food Bank told us about how people are appreciative of what they get. We just saw how much it meant to those people and how thankful they are for what they get. It made us appreciate our own lives a little more for the opportunities that we are getting."
Students preparing to enter college will receive recognition for their efforts at a ceremony funded by Nevadaworks in August. Students who continue to come back to the Dean's Future Scholars program each summer still have plenty to look forward to, according to Izquierdo.
"I think being with your friends, having fun, all while getting the school credit, is definitely the best part," he said.
