No other word engenders as much fear, revulsion, despair and utter helplessness as AIDS. It is, in fact, rewriting medical history as humankind`s deadliest scourge. With 40 million deaths forecast in this millennium, statistics tell their own sordid tale.
The first recorded sample of HIV was discovered in 1959 in a blood specimen obtained at Leopoldville (now Kinshasa) in the Belgian Congo. This was the first known death chalked up by AIDS. The virus is thought to have originally affected chimpanzees. The crossover from animals to humans may have occurred in the 1950s through an accident or a bite.
Intermittently, other theories of its origins have been advanced. One theory, put forward by Bette Korber, traces the disease to a single viral ancestor that could have emerged between 1910 and 1950. Through an analysis done at the Los Alamos National Lab in New Mexico, Korber contends that the pandemic may have come from one or more infected humans around 1930.
Another highly controversialbut plausibletheory is that of American philosopher, Louis Pascal, first spelt out in 1987. All the early AIDS cases originated in the Central African states of Congo, Rwanda or Burundi. This belt was subjected to trials of a live polio vaccine on 300,000 men, women and children..
Pascal argued that the vaccine, which was grown in cultures obtained from chopped up chimpanzee kidneys, may have carried this virus. Polio researcher Dr Albert Sabin had reported that such a batch was contaminated by an unknown virus. In fact, monkeys harbor SIV or simian immunodeficiency virus (SV-40 to be more specific), which is thought to be the ancestor of HIV..
The first cases of AIDS were reported in the United States in 1981, amongst male homosexuals in Los Angeles and New York. Within two decades, up to 50 million may have been infected globally, approximately 22 million have succumbed and nearly 15,000 new infections are said to occur daily..
What Is Aids & HIV
HIV has two major categories: HIV-1 and HIV-2. HIV-1, which currently has about 10 subtypes, is most common worldwide and the only form found in the US. HIV-2 is less virulent and though currently confined to West Africait`s spreading.
The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) basically provokes an infection, which destroys the body`s immune system. And AIDS or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome is the advanced stage of this disease, when the immune system becomes irreparably damaged, engendering multiple infections and cancers. A person is considered HIV positive when s/he tests positive for any of the 26 diseases (Kaposi`s sarcoma, lymphoma, pulmonary tuberculosis, recurrent pneumonia within a 12-month period, wasting syndrome and other indicators) that can easily invade the body during our immune system`s nonfunctionality.
On invading the body, the virus specifically attacks T-cells. A core part of the human defence system, they mobilize other cells to seek and destroy contagious foreign elements besides leading the immune system`s fight against infections. T-cells are targeted because the AIDS virus parasitizes the CD4 molecules on their surface.
With a protective outer shell of proteins and glyco-proteins, the AIDS virus contains genetic information on the inside. Although substantially smaller than the host T-cellsthe virus reproduces by sponging off the host`s cellular resources! Our body fights back by producing up to two billion new T-cells to replace the infected ones, stabilizing the T-cell count temporarily. Yet from day one, the T-cells fight a losing battle.
The genetic information of the AIDS virus, which is encoded as RNA (ribonucleic acid), needs to be reverse transcriptedwhich the intruder accomplishes with the help of the host cell itself! The now legible DNA is thereafter randomly transferred into the nucleus. All this is accomplished barely a dozen hours following the infection. By this time, the aggressor begins to substantially weaken the host cell, which eventually dies, eroding the immune system and making the body vulnerable to diseases.
Although HIV targets T-cells and other cells in the body, it thrives mainly in the lymph nodesanother important part of the immune system. Each lymph node has a netlike structure inside it that acts as a protective filter by trapping virus and infected T-cells. But as healthy T-cells move through contaminated lymph nodes, they are infected by HIV. Particularly during the early stage of the disease, lymph nodes contain more infected cells than the blood.
In the early stages, a mild flu and swollen glands are typical. But the symptoms are often unmistakeable when full-blown AIDS develops. Loss of appetite, weight loss, constant fever, prolonged fatigue, diarrhea, constipation, changing bowel patterns, swollen glands, chills coupled with excessive sweating, especially at nights, lesions in the mouth, sore throat, persistent cough, shortness of breath, tumours, skin rashes, headaches, memory lapses, swelling in the joints, pain in various parts of the body, vision problems and a regular feeling of lethargy and ill health make up the litany of symptoms.
With immune systems out of kilter, HIV-positive persons are susceptible to several types of cancer, particularly Kaposi`s sarcoma (KS), an uncommon form that occurs under the skin and in the mucus membranes of the eyes, nose and mouth. Affected persons have lesions that appear as dark-coloured raised blotches. Though the lesions are painless, once KS spreads to the lungs, lymph nodes and digestive tract, the victim experiences difficulty in breathing, gastrointestinal bleeding and painful swelling around the lymph nodes, especially in the legs.
Modes Of Transmission
HIV is transmitted primarily by sex (anal, vaginal or oral sex with an infected partner), by injections (sharing contaminated needles for drug use or accidental piercing with a contaminated needle), or from infected mother to child through pregnancy or breast-feeding.
Infected semen and vaginal fluids, infected blood and blood products lead to the transmission of HIV. Drug abuse with unsterilized needles is another high-risk activity. Unprotected sex with multiple partners is the primary cause of infection. During unprotected sex, the infected fluid could enter the bloodstream through a tiny cut or a sore. Anal penetration has a higher risk of transmission, which is why a high percentage of homosexuals develop the disease. Bleeding during sex also raises the chances of infection. Therefore unprotected sex during menstrual periods and anal intercourse are best avoided.
An infected mother can also transmit the virus to her baby before or during birth or through breast milk. Although traces of HIV have been detected in body fluids (saliva, urine, faeces and tears) there is no evidence that HIV spreads through these fluids. Nor is it water-borne, air-borne or transmitted through mosquitoes and other insects.
Some HIV-infected patients progress to AIDS quickly while others can remain healthy for 10 years or more. Between initial infection and full-blown disease, a middle phase called symptomatic HIV infection, or AIDS-related complex (ARC), occurs, prompting symptoms such as weight loss, diarrhea, and swollen lymph glands.
Scientists have recently discovered clues to why some patients develop AIDS quickly. In a study published last March in the journal Science, National Cancer Institute researchers found that inherited genes may set the clock for AIDS progression. Certain gene patterns tend to stave off AIDS, while others promote it. The researchers say the study may help lead to an AIDS-preventive vaccine or improved therapies against the virus.
Gender Differences in the Risk of HIV Infection
HIV risk factors among injection drug users (IDUs) differ markedly by gender, according to a 10-year study funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). A recent study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins University reported that while drug-related risk behaviors and homosexual activity are the most important predictors of HIV seroconversion among males, factors consistent with high-risk heterosexual activities are the main predictors among females. The findings, reported in the May 28 (2001) issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine, provide insight into the relationship between gender and high-risk sexual behaviors in the development of HIV infection.
"Early studies of injection drug users suggested that most HIV infections were due primarily to sharing needles," said NIDA Director Alan I. Leshner, Ph.D. "This study adds to the body of evidence that supports the need for gender-specific interventions in the treatment of that group of drug users."
Between 1988 and 1998, a team of researchers, led by Dr. Steffanie Strathdee at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, examined both drug related and sexual risk factors for HIV transmission in a study of more than 1,800 injecting drug users in Baltimore, Maryland. Study participants were aged 18 or older, did not have an AIDS defining illness at enrollment, and reported a history of illicit injection drug use within the previous 10 years. Through semiannual interviews, researchers collected data on drug use history, sociodemographics, and drug use and sexual behavior within the last 6 months. Blood samples were also obtained at each study visit. Researchers used commercial HIV and antibody ELISA to identify those participants who had become HIV positive since their last visit.
Dr. Strathdee and her colleagues found that the greatest predictor for HIV seroconversion among both male and female IDUs was high-risk sexual behavior. Study findings revealed that male injection drug users who reported recent homosexual activity were four times more likely to become infected with HIV.
Among females, indicators of high-risk heterosexual activity outweighed needle-sharing behaviors as independent predictors of HIV seroconversion. HIV incidence was more than two times higher among women who reported recently having sex with another injection drug user.
Another common predictor of HIV seroconversion observed by researchers among both male and female IDUs was younger age. Investigators found that IDUs who were aged 30 or younger at enrollment were more than twice as likely to seroconvert than those aged 40 or older.
"This is consistent with several reports which indicate that younger IDUs are more likely to engage in needle sharing and other behaviors that place them at higher risk of acquiring HIV and hepatitis B or C viruses," stated Dr. Strathdee.
While AIDS is a high-risk disease it can be prevented if proper precautions are taken and greater awareness meted out to those who are ignorant of the virus and its repercussions on the human body. Here we have listed a few measures which can be adopted by everyone inorder to stave off the insidious entry of HIV.
Prevention is still the best bet. Promiscuous sexual behavior can leave a person highly susceptible to contracting the virus. Where abstinence is not possible, always use latex condoms. The female condom can also help protect both partners. Use only water-based lubricants. Oil lubricants (such as Vaseline) might even tear latex condoms. Use spermicidal (birth control) foams and jellies in addition to condoms. By themselves, spermicides may not be effective in preventing HIV.
Avoid alcohol or drugs during sex, you might lose control of your senses and engage in unsafe sex. Stick to safer sex practices at all times and avoid having multiple partners. Practice monogamy. If this is a tall order, serial relationships are a lesser evil than multiple ones
High-risk sexual behavior should be avoided at all costs. These include: oral genital sex involving contact with semen or vaginal fluids, oral anal sex, vaginal sex without a condom, anal sex sans a condom (active or passive), fisting or manual anal intercourse, the sharing of sex toys, using saliva for lubrication and blood contact of any kind during performance. If unable to resist oral sex, use a dental dam. If a woman is infected, avoid sex during the menses as menstrual blood is infectious
For transfusions, use disposable syringes and needles. Ensure you get blood that is screened and certified as HIV-free. Better still, get blood from close family members rather than professional donors whose medical antecedents are nebulous
The presence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) increases the risk of contracting HIV from an infected partner. STDs could cause breaks in the skin of the vagina, penis or anus permitting the virus to enter your bloodstream. If you ever contract an STD of any kind, ensure you get prompt treatment.
The CDC recommends that an HIV-positive woman should not breast-feed her baby. The infant should be given AZT for the first several weeks to substantially reduce the risk of infection.
Myths & Facts
Say `AIDS` and dime-a-dozen misconceptions abound. The chart topper is that AIDS is supposedly a disease of gay men and intravenous drug users. The facts are otherwise. No doubt in the early years many HIV-positive cases were reported amongst the Western gay community. In recent years, however, prevalence rates among gays have leveled off. Instead, heterosexual transmission has been forging ahead of all other modes of transmission.
The AIDS virus is NOT contracted through touching, hugging, kissing, massage, sharing toilet seats, drinking or eating from utensils used by an infected person or any other mode of casual contact. Nor does working, socialising and living with infected people cause the disease.
Repeated sexual contact without proper precautions with an infected person, using an infected syringe, exposure to infected blood or sexual fluids are ways through which the disease can be transmitted.
Donating blood also does not run the risk of disease contraction since needles used for such purposes are always sterile. Since the AIDS virus is unable to survive outside the human body beyond a short duration, dried blood is not infectious For this reason, mosquitoes are incapable of transmitting HIV as the virus cannot replicate itself in the intestine of insects.
Although medical personnel are potentially at risk from infection, this is minimal if protective gear such as gloves, masks and goggles are always used when handling potentially infected material.
The Elusive Cure
The large-scale infections and deaths have spurred a spate of worldwide efforts for a cure. In the US, however, AIDS cases are said to be dropping and new infections leveling off. Mortality from AIDS is also dropping.
In the developing countries, though, the cases continue to rise alarmingly. Globally, three million died in the year 2000, with 5.3 million newly infected people, 95 percent of whom might die.
Many scientists, doctors and researchers contend that AIDS is not a new disease, having been around much longer than people believe. Dr. Robert Willnerauthor of Deadly Deception: The Proof That Sex and HIV Absolutely Do Not Cause AIDSasserts that HIV is not the cause of AIDS. He claims that nearly 500 hundred top scientists of the world have challenged the hypothesis of Robert Gallowho patented the HIV test the day after the AIDS virus was discoveredthat HIV is the precursor of AIDS.
Besides other telling facts, the dissenters want to know how one can explain HIV-free AIDS cases, of which there are said to be nearly 5,000 on record.
Dr. Frank Shallenberger, a licensed medical and homeopathic practitioner, says that statistics are only a correlationnot a resultthat HIV is one cause of AIDS, citing the fact that some AIDS victims do not have HIV antibodies. Dr. Shallenberger considers AIDS a multifactorial disease that strikes when the immune system is down.
The search for a cure, also brings to light other interesting facets. African chimpanzees have been harboring the simian equivalent of the AIDS virus for centuries, according to detailed studies conducted by researches at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. Why don`t the chimps succumb to the virus?
Says Dr. Anthony Fauci from the National Institutes of Health: "There must be something about the chimp`s immune system or some host defense system that is doing a very good job of containing the virus. If we find that out we may be able to extrapolate to humans."
Chimpanzees being the closest living relatives of humans, their DNA differs from human DNA by less than two percent. Adds Dr. Fauci: "It`s entirely conceivable that the very small genetic differences between the chimp and the human will explain why the chimpanzee does not get sick and the human does."

I bought and finished watching Imprint from the Masters of Horror Showtime series. I was kinda surprised that it was Showtime refused to show the episode. The episode touched on several taboo subjects (like good horror should from time to time), but the violence was probably no worse than Dario's Jenifer episode. What are you thoughts on the episode? Why do you think they refused to show it?
thadius jim on Monday, October 30, 2006 - 8:02pmI really enoyed it. Miike's films always look amazing and the visual style in this movie was really impressive. Plus the mass ammounts of fetus in the movie was pretty sweet.
The Cryptkeeper on Tuesday, October 31, 2006 - 9:03pmI loved it, another winner from Miike, disturbing and and beautiful. Its a shame this was banned from Showtime.
Blood Dragoness on Wednesday, November 1, 2006 - 2:52amI LOVED THIS MOVIE!! Takashi Miike is a master of unnerving horror.My worst nightmare would be running into HIM in a dark alley!
farewell2mars on Wednesday, November 1, 2006 - 5:00amI found that episode to be the only good episode out of the first season of masters of horror, But I will admit Takashi Miike is my favorite director. I remember being so pissed off that showtime would air his episode, It made me think, Did they know what they were getting themselves into letting Miike loose on american cable waves, I guess bloody fetuses and parasydic twins are a tad to much for them. I thought it was f'n brillant. I think the masters of horror people must have heard the buzz of how great and bold a director Miike was and probably signed him up in that and his track record of films that are insane.
choconado on Thursday, November 2, 2006 - 1:24pmOnly blame Showtime, which don't own Masters of Horror, they merely air them. Mick Garris, the brains behind MoH liked the episode. They aired it in the other countries MoH showed on.
I'm not sure if it was the fetii per se that banned the episode, as this season's John Carpenter episode is all about abortion...
ichi the killer on Thursday, November 2, 2006 - 4:18pmi agree, bloody fetuses are fucked up, but showtime's gotta be serious. torturing someone is just as bad. i mean, its an adult program on a channel not easily available to little kids without parental advisory. i think its kind of whack they banned it considering its a short horror film. what else did they expect from miike tho?

Yeah, thanks for that, last SB party I ever hosted. By halftime no one was watching the game.
Being a Mets fan '86 was fun. I was the only one in a room of Boston fans and caught a lot of crap in game 6 until Mets Hall of Famer (he isn't but should be lol), Bill Buckner let the ball go between the wickets.

Refurb MBA selection
Hello all,
I'm looking to buy a 2012 MBA (which will be my first Apple notebook). Ideally I want a 13" with i5/8GB/256GB config. However, I've been monitoring the refurb selection on the Apple website and at Refurb.me and the only refurb 2012 13" MBA options are as follows: i5/4/128 i5/4/256 i7/8/256 i7/8/512 Does Apple occasionally add other models to the refurb store or will this be it? The i7/8/256 is tempting at the price but I'm not sure I want the i7 considering concerns about the fan and lesser battery life. My planned usage is nothing more than a lot of web browsing/MS Office work but I do plan on running Windows in Parallels and it sounds like i5 can handle that fine with 8GB of RAM. Just wondering if I'd ever see a i5/8/256 in the refurb store or if I should just buy new. |

In my opinion you should just buy new with just the 8GB upgrade.. you can always upgrade the ssd later.. though it might be a little expensive

I had the exact same concerns as you and originally I really wanted the i5 for the lower temps and longer battery life but it just isn't offered in the refurb store and I've found that if you try to get the i5/8gb/256gb version anywhere else you will spend more for it than you will spend for the i7/8gb/256gb version on the refurb store.
So I just got the i7 version. And all of my fears were completely unfounded. The machine idles about 5 degrees cooler than my old Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro. The CPU temps are usually around 45-50C when I am doing normal stuff (at 43C right now) I timed the battery life one day (actually timed it while continuously using it not just looking at the battery meter). It lasted almost exactly the promised 7 hrs. I've seen other people complain about the fans on the MBAs. I've never had an issue but I also use smc fan control (used it on my old MBP so it just migrated over). At 3000rpm I can't barely hear anything in a quiet room which was definitely not the case with my old MBP and I usually keep my fans at 2000rpm without problems. Basically it is not worth the extra money to buy the i5 version if you can get an i7 refurb.

That said, I wouldn't be too worried about battery life and heating differences between the i5 and i7. We're talking a few minutes of battery life under most conditions. |

Lew Kirton
Lew Kirton
Smooth soul singer Lew Kirton was born in Barbados and grew up singing in his church choir; he later performed with island vocal groups as Jiggs Kirton. Also an accomplished drummer, he later moved to the United States and took over the drum chair in Sam & Dave's touring revue in 1969. He joined the Philly-styled soul group the Invitations in 1972 as lead vocalist, and they attracted some attention with singles like "They Say the Girl's Crazy" and "Look on the Good Side." Kirton went solo in the late '70s, signing with the Miami-based TK label family (best known for hits by George and Gwen McCrae) in 1977. Teamed with writer/producer Clarence Reid (whose alter ego was, of course, the bawdy comedian Blowfly), his first releases on the Marlin subsidiary included the future collector's item "Do What You Want, Be What You Are." 1978 saw the single release of his best-known song, "Heaven in the Afternoon"; two years later, he issued his first full-length album, Just Arrived, on another TK subsidiary, Alston. After recording as a guest vocalist with B. Baker's Chocolate Company, Kirton left TK and moved to New York. His second album, Talk to Me, appeared in 1983 on the Believe in a Dream label, and spawned singles in the title track and "Don't Give Up Your Dream (Hang On in There)." One further single, "Don't Wanna Wait," was released on MCA in 1986; despite having completed another album, Kirton has yet to find an outlet for its release. Just Arrived was later reissued by the British label Expansion under the title Heaven in the Afternoon, with bonus tracks from Kirton's earlier singles included. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi

Issues notices to Centre and governments of Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh
The rupee has crashed, growth is down and there is panic that the India story may be over or, at least, seriously dented. For most commentators, the underlying reason for the decline is green regulations. They think environmentalists are squarely to blame.
The outrage over the suspension of an official, Durga Shakti Nagpal, for simply doing her job—check illegal sand mining in the rivers of Uttar Pradesh—has highlighted a crucial issue. It is now evident that illegal mining of sand from rivers and beaches is rampant and the underbelly of this industry (I'm calling it industry for want of a better word) is powerful and connected. Worse still, all this is happening in violation of the orders of the apex court of the country.
The tragic loss of 23 young lives because of contaminated food in a Bihar school is unacceptable. But it is also a fact that the Mid Day Meal Scheme, under which cooked food is compulsorily provided to children in government schools, is too important and critical to give up on. The only questions that matter are: why does the scheme not work as well as it should and what can be done to fix it?
Will it help sound mining or mining companies?
Sets condition of compensatory payment to resume operations
The Supreme Court allowed operations in 63 out of 72 category B mines in Bellary, Chitradurga and Tumkur in Karnataka, subject to conditions.
Shah Commission report shows how authorities, mine owners stripped Goa of iron
The Supreme Court has acknowledged that dieselisation of cars needs to be addressed with effective tax measures
Losing after winning is the worst feeling possible. This is how I feel looking out of my window at a thick pall of black smog engulfing my city. It was this time of the year, exactly 15 years ago, when Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) began its right-to-clean-air campaign. The air in Delhi was so foul one could hardly breathe. That was a time when air pollution was an unknown curse. Not much was known about its nature and the toxicity of the air contaminants.
The Supreme Court on May 9 sought a response from the apex food body, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), and the states regarding milk adulteration and production of synthetic milk.The three-judge bench sought their response on the public interest petition filed by Swami Achyutanand Tirth on behalf of the Swami Bhumanand Dharmarth Chikitsalya & Research Institute in Haridwar.

Comments On Feb 07, 2014:These are a great buy and are worth every penny. It made my sons bike run with my 2003 CR125. It changed it to have more low end, mid range and high end power. Best thing we have done for his bike.

Comments On Dec 16, 2013:This intake helped my bike alot. The only jetting changes I had to make was a turn of the air screw. Will buy again if I get another bike that needs a boost in power.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Dec 17, 2013:This intake works good for me. And amazingly from what I thought would be, I didnt even have to rejet much. But yet I noticed more power and my plug reading got darker. This lets me know I'm now getting the flow I was already capable of, if the stock cage wasnt holding it back. Definately worth the money.

Comments On May 07, 2013:Pretty simple installation with no trimming required on my patucular bike. Not a big power increase but it got rid of the huge hit in the mid range and gave me a little more bottom so the bike is much more rideable now. Price could be a little lower though.

Comments On Mar 04, 2013:This is the third bike that I've installed vforce 3 reeds in and am completely satisfied with my purchases. These reeds DRAMATICALLY improve the acceleration and throttle response. With these reeds you can just slightly tap the throttle and your bike will be standing on the back wheel.

Comments On Dec 27, 2012:I found the fitment to be great I don't no If I notice a performance differance for me though. I may not need the power that it helps with.

Comments On Dec 16, 2012:The V-Force 3 reed valves may be a little pricey, but well worth it if you are looking for a quicker throttle response and smooth rev throughout the rpm band. A must for Yamaha Banshee's.

Comments On Nov 27, 2012:Part looks good and is simple to install, but does not do much when it came to engine performance. Not much better than stock. Costs too much for what it does.

The votes are in, and LastPass users worldwide have selected their 10 favorite sticker photos!
Several weeks ago we announced a giveaway to LastPass Superfans in our
newsletter. The prize was a LastPass sticker, and the mission was to send in a
photo of the sticker on your car, your computer, at your desk, at a
local sight, or wherever you wanted to show your LastPass love. We then asked LastPass users to help us pick YOUR favorite photos - and here they are!
If you missed it, all entries can be viewed on our voting page: https://lastpass.com/swagvote.php - there were hundreds of entries, with some pretty amazing ones even outside of the top 10 ten picks.
The winners received LastPass Premium and their photos get a shout-out below. You guys certainly have a sense of humor!
#10: "'Wake me up and that will be your LastPass.' Cottage Country new Kenora, Ontario. Just threw the sticker I had received. Bear left shortly after and I was able to retrieve the sticker. Lucky it landed where it did."
#9: "Shh! Don't tell my password!"
#8: "LastPass Bearded Dragon"
#7: "A photo of me wearing my welding helmet watching the rare event of a solar eclipse in Albuquerque, NM 2012. You can't see it in the photo but the moon is in the center of the sun. You can see the reflection of the eclipse to the lower right of the picture. Best part of it all is how the LastPass sticker looks on my helmet. Everyone out there watching the eclips was asking me what the sticker was for. My answer was, 'It's the best Password Manager on this planet and it could be yours, too.'"
#6: "LastPass-ified our server room door."
#5: "In case of compass failure refer to LastPass."
#4: "I love LastPass on my desktop, laptop, iPad, iPhone, and Android tablet. Anywhere I go, LastPass is there!"
#3: "Comparing standard security practices with the amazing security of LastPass."
#2: "The sticker on top of my key ring from work."
and #1: "Keeping your most sensitive assets secure since 2008."
Have a favorite that didn't make the top 10? Tell us which one and why you liked it in the comments below.

With up to 2560 x 1440 (WQHD) resolution, 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio and 80,000:1 maximum dynamic contrast ratio, this high-performance 27" IPS monitor delivers stunning detail, depth and responsiveness. The PremierColor technology adopted enables the UltraSharp U2711 to deliver vibrant, consistent, true-to-life colors - and minimizes the need for further calibration. It provides a simple and outstanding Out-of-Box experience.
Along with flexible viewing and mounting options, intuitive controls high-definition capability and extensive connectivity, it's easy to connect and a pleasure to use, no matter how much screen time you log.
Filter Results |
Unusable for mePros: Good price for the size. Colors were supposedly good. Cons: The monitor is practically unusable due to the anti glare coating which makes the entire monitor sparkle. I was coming from a glossy monitor, so it was just unbearable, especially with small text. Some people don't see this, but it was so bad for me I had to return it. Other Thoughts: Don't buy if you like glossy smooth images and text. Buy if you like rainbow sprinkles. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Gorgeous.Pros: I bought this monitor for photographic editing. It has been a sizable step up from the $150-$300 monitors I've used in the past. Cons: None. Other Thoughts: I bought this monitor for a specialized task, at which it excels. There were absolutely no issues, delivery was swift and the screen arrived in flawless condition. Did you find this review helpful? |
IncrediblePros: The picture quality will leave you speechless. Going from 1080p to 2560x1440 is a game changer. You have to experience it first hand to realize just how much you have been missing out while gaming on a 1080p monitor. Cons: Nothing Other Thoughts: I see some people complaining about the price, but if you are in the market for a monitor like this, price really shouldn't be a concern. You knew what you were getting into. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Awesome but not chicPros: -High Resolution is great for multitasking Cons: -Anti-glare coating leaves rainbow pixelation on white backgrounds. It takes some getting used to. Other Thoughts: This monitor is a professional monitor. It is thick. It is solid. It is a brute by all accounts. If you're looking for something slim and sexy, look at Dell's S series. Their aesthetics are easier on the eyes and most models have an IPS panel which still gives you a beautiful display for casual computer tasks. Did you find this review helpful? |
Simply the B-E-S-T!!!Pros: 1. wide color gamut Cons: 1. cost (no eggs deducted) just wishful thinking Other Thoughts: I can't say enough good things about this monitor. I was a little worried when I purchased it because of some people's comments regarding the anti-glare coating. However, I don't have any issues with it or notice any image defects from it. This monitor is the sweet spot for the size to price to resolution ratio. If you want a larger monitor, you are venturing into the price range of buying an HDTV. Most 27" monitors are 1920 x 1200 or 1920 x 1080 resolution but this one is capable of 2560 x 1440 resolution. What this means is you can get more space for your desktop and viewable area. Most importantly, HD content will look better if you have upscaling playback software. The resolution of this monitor scales HD content almost perfectly since it has the proper aspect ratio ([1920 x 1.333... = ~ 2560] & [1080 x 1.333... = ~ 1440]). The next step up in resolution which is 2560 x 1600 does not scale properly at its native resolution for widescreen movies since it has a different aspect ratio. Of course games will also look better when played at the higher resolution. You can power this monitor with an Nvidia 690 so that games will maintain high frame rates even at 2560 x 1440. If you purchase a 30" monitor which will be 2560 x 1600, your fps will start to impact your gaming experience even with an Nvidia 690. But to put it plainly, everything including games, images, video, etc. just look better on this monitor than anything else I have ever seen in person. The first time I watched Avatar at 1440P resolution, I was amazed by the clarity! The only minor issue is the response time. It will display some very minor ghosting when gaming if you are someone who notices the smallest of video defects. I can see it but it is so little that it doesn't bother me or take away from the experience. Lastly, I should state that I do have the older Dell 2709W as well. For the sake of comparison, I want to say that while the 2709W was a great monitor, the U2711 is a HUGE improvement! 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great MonitorPros: Great Size, Great Screen resolution! I love this monitor and haven't had any issues at all with it. Cons: It's not the huge stark visual difference over 1080P that it is made out to be. Yes the picture is better but not at the point where it has significantly changed my experience when gaming. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Ultra SharpPros: After reviewing many monitors I had no choice but to buy this one. It was true to it's name "Ultra Sharp". I have never seen colors like this displays. It was prefect out of the box. My friends wondered why I upgraded from 24" to this 27". Well, if they don't know 3" can make a big difference, they should ask their girl friends. Cons: I got hell from my wife for buying it, until I told her I bought it on a one day sale at $300.00 off. Other Thoughts: I should have bought 2. 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Fantastic monitor!Pros: Excellent monitor, lots of inputs, wide color range. Cons: Slow to switch between inputs, and heats up quite a bit. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
It's The BestPros: The stand is rock-solid, the image quality is best in class. It is worth reading about various benchmarks of its and other monitors' coverage of Adobe RGB. The touch-buttons actually work very well. The UI is surprisingly easy to use. The USB ports work well. The card reader is iffy. Cons: It is expensive and very heavy. It is a huge PITA to transport. Keep the box and styrofoam in which it comes. There is no other way to safely transport this beast. It also performs best at 50% brightness or above, which can cause eyestrain in a dark room. Turn some lights on; the screen reflects very little glare. None of these issues would cause me to recommend a different monitor. Other Thoughts: I use this primarily for photo editing and graphic design, for which it is a dream. If you do not print photos ever, you may not need this screen, since it's main advantage over similar models is its accurate representation of Adobe RGB 1998, a gamut of which other monitors can only display 60-75%. I've spent more time playing BF3 on this than I'd care to admit. Part of the reason I love the game so much is that it looks so good on this monitor. You don't even need a side-by-side comparison between the U2711 and a 1080p TFT monitor to tell that U2711 image quality is an entirely different ballgame (although I did a side-by-side comparison and it made the unnamed 24" 1920x1080 monitor look ugly). I have noticed no differences or disadvantages in screen response times (a disadvantage of IPS) while gaming, although you can see ghosting. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: Excellent color, brightness Cons: Looks old fashioned 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

For many of us, wood stoves elicit childhood memories of winter cabins and family homes. Drying mittens and warming hot chocolate were quickly done in comfort. So the appeal of the stove is still alive, but it can be hard to justify the cost and hassle of the wood variety. Electric stoves are a wonderful alternative.
Electric stoves can feature realistic 3D flames and antique designs that feel just like grandma's old wood stove. Some models include remotes for an added level of control. You'll quickly and easily achieve a soothing ambiance, yet benefit from modern convenience.
Where an electric stove differs most noticeably from wood is optional heat. If you keep your stove indoors, you can still enjoy the atmosphere of a fire on a summer night without making a room uncomfortably warm.
With so many factors to consider, ask yourself what you're looking for from an electric stove. Do you want a stove to be as traditional as possible? Or do you want every technological enhancement available? Is heat important? Or realistic flames? The selection you need is easy to find.
Affordable Atmosphere from an Electric Stove
Choosing an electric stove over a wood stove will help you circumvent hefty installation costs. Rather than a lengthy renovation including ventilation changes, electric stoves simply plug in, many requiring no assembly.
Economical options mean an electric stove is easily within your reach. Even the more expensive models are still relatively affordable, making even the more opulent designs a realistic purchase. Trusted name brand names mean you won't sacrifice quality when you go electric. Look for Dimplex stoves or Fire Sense stoves for a product you can rely on.
Over time, the cost of powering an electric stove will add up to worthwhile savings. Stoves that burn pellets or wood logs need constant fuel, demanding both time and ongoing investment. Your time is valuable too, so consider the maintenance of a wood stove against the effortless operation of an electric stove.
Electric Stoves offer Practical Portability
Electric stoves are as easy to move as they are to install. Much more stylish than a clunky space heater, stoves are a great way to add warmth and atmosphere without committing to a location or single home. Move it from the den to the basement, and then up to the living room as your mood changes.
The back patio is another great spot for an electric stove, during the summer or year round depending on your climate and preference. Opt for a weatherproof model and confidently leave your stove outdoors as long as you like. Take it with you when you move and enjoy your electric stove for years to come.
Outdoor Camp Chef Stove
The next step in portability for stoves returns to the wood-burning variety. Campers and RV enthusiasts have the option of purchasing a Camp Chef stove for the ultimate solution in portable warmth.

Frankly, either way, it seems someone should have picked up on the issue regarding locker…Read Morerooms/bath rooms. For a plan that's being touted as pre-emptive, it seems to have missed a rather obvious area of potential conflict. If there was no thought given to it beyond making them available to the transgender student, I'd find that astounding. If the thought was "we'll cross that bridge when we get to it", then so much for really trying to address the entire issue before it actually becomes one. If the thought was that such access is a critical component of any policy put in place regarding transgender students, it would seem the burden would be upon him/them to give evidence to support that contention.

Community Notes
Linux and Free Software enjoyed continuing success throughout 2005. We saw a growing number of government initiatives aimed at making the switch to Open Source, a very public adoption of Open Document formats by the US State of Massachusetts, and a defeat for software patents in the European Union (for now at least). We've also seen the continued trend for major corporations to throw their weight behind the Linux community. IBM were just one of several companies that announced they would be releasing parts of their massive patent portfolio under Open Source friendly terms. This subsequently fed into an OSDL clearing house, appropriately named the Patent Commons http://www.patentcommons.org/. In the wider world, the US$ 100 Laptop project has begun to make some real progress. The MIT Media Lab announced that they will be running Linux on the windup laptops, due in part to its minimal requirements and the ability to customize parts of a Linux operating system for the low-powered, technically challenging devices. The US$ 100 Laptop project was not the only group to see the power of Linux on small embedded devices. Nokia announced and later launched their 770 Internet Tablet device, which has been a success beyond even Nokia's expectations – especially now that the tablets have hit the gadget-obsessed US market (check them out in CompUSA). This author does not leave home without his 770 and has found it invaluable on those long haul flights – especially when using inflight wifi connectivity somewhere over the Atlantic.

CBS Sports Network adds Houston Nutt, Ron Zook, Tim Brewster
CBS Sports Network has made some hires for the 2012 college football season that could best be described as "interesting." The network is bringing on former Arkansas and Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt, former Florida and Illinois coach Ron Zook, and former Minnesota coach Tim Brewster. Brewster will be a color commentator (teamed with Dave Ryan and Evan Washburn on gameday), while Nutt and Zook will be studio analysts for the network.
Think about that for a minute. Houston Nutt and Ron Zook... analyzing football games.
