In final campaign rally Obama stands on record
By DOUGLAS BURNS
, Staff Writer
In their final rally of the White House race, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama campaigned in Des Moines late Monday night. Both spoke nostalgically about the president's start in iowa where the Illinoisan captured the 2008 Democratic caucuses.

An estimated crowd of about 20,000 people turned out to hear President Barack Obama make his closing argument for re-election in a downtown Des Moines rally Monday night.
Tuesday, November 6, 2012
DES MOINES — Following an animated speech, both forward-looking and nostalgic, President Barack Obama Monday scanned an estimated crowd of 20,000 in downtown Des Moines, and confidently patted the side of the official podium, a gesture closing the book on whirlwind of campaigning — which started in February 2007 and earned Iowa a reputation as the launching pad for Obama's historic presidency.
Regardless of the results tonight, Obama will never hold another presidential campaign rally for himself. As presidents are limited to two terms, the Des Moines event, which finished just after 11 p.m., is the final one of Obama's final campaign.
"After all the months of campaigning, after all the rallies, after the millions of dollars of ads, it all comes down to you," Obama said. "It's out of my hands now."
The campaign event featured American music icon Bruce Springsteen — who wrote a campaign anthem for the president based on Obama's slogan of "forward." First Lady Michelle Obama introduced her husband in a speech that recalled early days on the campaign trail in the last cycle as Iowans were just starting to take the measure of the barrier-breaking president.
"I am so thrilled to be here in Iowa tonight because long before most people even knew his name, you all saw what I saw," Michelle Obama said.
The then-U.S. senator from Illinois captured the Iowa caucuses in 2008 at a time when many veteran political observers believed Hillary Clinton a runaway favorite to secure the Democratic White House nomination.
Iowa has been central in the Obama re-election campaign. The president's schedule included 21 campaign events in Iowa. In the last 18 months, Obama spoke with The Daily Times Herald three times, once over the phone, at an event in Boone and in a session in the Oval Office. The president carried both Iowa and Carroll County in the 2008 general election.
At the Monday rally, Obama said he would work to craft fiscal compromises with Congress in a second term. But there are issues on which the president said he won't bend, choices that he sees as more surrender that compromise.
"We'll cut out spending we don't need," Obama said. "But as long as I'm president, we're not going to turn Medicare into a voucher just to pay for another millionaire's tax cut. We're not going to kick a kid off of Head Start just to pay for a millionaire's tax cut."
Obama used the speech, at an outdoor venue in Des Moines' East Village, as a fiery promotion of his record over the past four years. In 2008, Obama said, the United Stated was in the middle of two wars and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.
"Today, our businesses have created nearly five and a half million new jobs," Obama said. "The American auto industry is back. Home values are on the rise. We're less dependent on foreign oil than any time in the last 20 years. We've doubled the production of clean energy. Because of the service and sacrifice of our brave men and women in uniform, the war in Iraq is over. The war in Afghanistan is ending. al-Qaida is on the run. Osama bin Laden is dead."
The president said his chief motivating influence is concern for middle-class families.
"The folks at the top in this country, it turns out they don't need another champion in Washington," Obama said. "They'll always have a seat at the table. They'll always have access and influence. The people who need a champion are the Americans whose letters I read late at night after a long day in the office; the men and women I meet on the campaign trail every day."
Obama said he's helped show Americans what real change looks like.
"We've got the scars to prove it," Obama said. "I've got the gray hair to show it. I wasn't this gray when I first showed up in Iowa."
But there's more to do, the president said, in making his final appeal for votes.
"As long as there's a single American who wants a job but can't find one, as long as there are families working harder but still falling behind, as long as there's a child anywhere in Des Moines, anywhere in Iowa, anywhere in this country languishing in poverty, barred from opportunity — our work isn't done," Obama said.
In interview with the Daily Times Herald, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack said credit for prevailing strong commodity prices, land values and a generally favorable farm economy, rests primarily with producers.
But the president deserves significant credit as well, said Vilsack, a former two-term governor of Iowa.
"When this president came into office he created, in essence, in a new framework for reviving rural economies," Vilsack said.
Obama directed the agriculture department to create a strategic approach to trade with resulting burgeoning figures for American farms.
"We've expanded and increased agricultural trade to a record level," Vilsack said.
Quoting USDA figures, The Bioenergysite.com reports that exports of U.S. food and agricultural products are expected to reach $143.5 billion in fiscal 2013, well above the record set in 2011. Since 2009, U.S. agricultural exports have made gains of 50 percent, reports the bioenergysite.com
The Obama administration has negotiated successful trade pacts and is reaching out to Southeast Asia for more partnerships.
"I think there is some legitimate reason for saying that the president deserves some credit, by no means all the credit," Vilsack said.
Near the end of his speech, Obama delighted in telling the story of the Greenwood, S.C., councilwoman, Edith Childs, whose "fired up!" chant – followed by the people around her responding, "ready to go," became a signature feature of the Obama campaign in 2008, used at rallies, strikingly at a Jefferson Jackson Day Dinner in Des Moines, and at other events to inspire Obama supporters. The president said he recalls the power of Childs' voice the first time he heard her imploring South Carolinians to fight for their futures
"One voice can change a room," Obama said. "And if it can change a room, it can change a city. And if it can change a city, it can change a state. And if it can change a state, it can change a nation. And if it can change a nation, it can change the world."

I think I've seen these maybe once in a grocery store, down in South Texas. Never had them, never cooked them. According to Wikipedia "A riblet is an alternative to ribs. The actual riblet is the portion of a loin back rib (or baby back rib) that is cut off at the top (nearest the back bone) to give the rib a more uniform look. " Ok, sure, whatever. Mr. O brought some of these down to the river this past weekend and we cooked them up on his Mini Egg while doing the brats on mine. He said they were pre-marinated, so they went straight from the bag to the grill. We cooked them at about 450 for probably about 10 minutes or so, just till they got a nice char on them. Not sure on the time as the ice cold beverages had been flowing all day.
450F with mesquite chips for smoke
Both Eggs going, riblets on one, brats on the other.
Just about done
They came out pretty good, I think. Not a lot of meat per bone and we would have needed a bunch more if not for the brats and the sides, but they would make a great mid game snack for sure. I'm gonna have to keep my eyes open for these in the future.

Three Myths of the Impact Job Search
Think you know what it takes to land that perfect impact job? Do you even know what that job looks like? Even the savviest Net Impacter can benefit from a closer look at the reality of positioning yourself for a job in this market.
Later this month, Net Impact Conference speaker and career consultant Shannon Houde hosts "Map Your Skills to the Sustainability Jobs Market," an Issues in Depth interactive online workshop. But before jumping on that call, there are some things you should know about what it takes to land a job in CSR or sustainability.
Myth 1: I need to demonstrate a single career trajectory to appeal to employers
Traditional wisdom once insisted that job seekers demonstrate an almost single-minded focus on a specific career path to be desirable in the job market. But massive shifts in economies, technologies and, let's face it, generational differences have changed all that.
The reality: More and more companies are getting the memo that there's a new kind of workforce. As Shannon points out, "There's really no direct career track." Luckily, this is good news for those looking for impact jobs.
"It's a very ambiguous place," Shannon says of the sustainability and CSR world, "because it is changing constantly." This means that a successful search requires us to look at how our unique skills and experiences map to those sought after by potential employers, and position ourselves accordingly. Shannon's Issues in Depth call on February 28 will walk attendees through that process.
Myth 2: The impact job search is sexier than the search for a conventional job
Many of us set out on this path driven by the search for more meaning in our day-to-day, and spend our hours dreaming about what it might be like to really see the tangible impact our work makes on the world around us. So it's pretty easy to see how we might romanticize what it takes to get there.
The reality: Impact job searchers rarely have the luxury of a structured process or dedicated job funnels. This is especially true for students, where traditional job seekers benefit from on-campus recruiting programs that hold their hands through a highly structured timeline. Without the advantage of a clear path to follow, they have to become "map makers," navigating their own path, creating their own timelines, and holding themselves accountable.
"We have to be so much more creative now about how we go about our job search," says Shannon. This is why Net Impact developed our Six Steps to Job Search Success, and created MAP (Making a Path), a peer support group for impact job seekers now kicking off across the country.
Myth 3: Landing the job is the hardest part
Hey, we work with job seekers, job switchers, and job experimenters constantly – we get how challenging the process can be. Once you've taken a good, long look in the mirror, done your due diligence, jumped through all the hoops, and the ink is finally dry on that job offer, it's tempting to sit back and enjoy the ride.
The reality: "Skills are at the crux of this whole [job search] process," Shannon says. "You need to be able to articulate your skills, position your skills, and translate your skills." But the most successful impact careerists know that the process doesn't stop on day one of your new role. "This is something you're going to be consistently doing throughout your entire career, and you should be thinking about it whether you're in a job, or not in a job, or changing a job."

AIB-IAOM-KSU Grain Milling: Safety & HACCP Workshop ... Oct. 22-24 ... Manhattan, KS
Date Posted: October 22, 2013
Manhattan, KS—Both quality and food safety are important in the grain and milling industry, and the Grain Milling HACCP Workshop is designed to help differentiate between the two.
Kansas State University's International Grains Program is partnering with AIB International and the International Association of Operative Millers (IAOM) to help make that happen.
From new employees to management personnel, this HACCP course should be considered.
The course is scheduled to take place from Oct. 22-24, 2013.
"The main purpose of this course is to educate people in the grain and milling industry about the importance of food product safety," says Ed Hitch, director of food safety education at AIB International.
Participants in attendance will learn about the basics of flour milling through presentations, workshops and a tour of the Hal Ross Flour Mill at Kansas State University.
The tour will allow them to become familiar with the milling process and how to identify potential food safety hazards.
Partici-pants will also complete a workshop simulating how to develop, implement and maintain a HACCP program.
"The most emphasis will be on the potential food safety hazards associated with grains and milling.
"The hazards include biological, chemical and physical contaminants, and their controls," Hitch says.
Individuals should consider attending this course so they are aware of the potential hazards associated with the industry.
If they familiarize themselves with them, then they are able to put a product safety program into practice at their own facilities, Hitch says.
By doing this they can eliminate or reduce possible food safety issues.
Those who are interested in registering for this course or want more information about it should visit the AIB International website at: www.aibonline.org or call 800-242-2534.
This is just one example of the many partnership trainings offered through IGP.
In addition, IGP offers trainings in the areas of feed manufacturing and grain management, flour milling and grain processing, and grain marketing and risk management.
To learn more about the training opportunities at IGP visit the IGP website at: www.grains.k-state.edu/igp.

Kanal Avrupa, 29 August 2010
I address the heart of the matter. People's greatest problem at the moment is sincere faith, having genuine faith in Allah. Unless a person has genuine faith, their prayers or fasting or giving of alms may not be acceptable. Allah speaks in the Qur'an of people's actions being for nothing.
Do you know what fighting until the religions is Allah's only and corruption disappears from the Earth means? It means that you must strive until corruption disappears from the Earth, spending all your time on that struggle, apart from eating and drinking.
They want to cover up the subject of the Mahdi, but it is not something that can be covered up. This century is a very important one. It has been a century in which we have seen the most severe forms of irreligion and bloodshed. This bloodshed started with the World War I and still continues. This system of denial, of disbelief, must absolutely be abolished and brought to an end.
Even if there were no hadith, with wisdom and conscience it is readily understood that this system of irreligion should absolutely be demolished and that it certainly has an opposite. That is why hypocrites want to swamp people in detail. They want to divert Muslims from struggle, the intellectual struggle, by swamping them with detail about the Mahdi. Or people with sickness in their hearts also do this, though it is basically the work of satan.
Satan does not want Islam to rule the world in this century . He only wants disbelief to rule. That is why satan incites some ignorant Muslims. He also directs some sly satans. There are currently many satans at work in the guise of human beings. They are working hard to stop Islam ruling the world and to prevent the establishment of Islamic Union, Turkish-Islamic Union.
Islam is very easy. Allah's rules are easy. Moral virtue is also easy. Allah does not want difficulty. But struggle (the intellectual struggle) is of course hard, and seems very difficult to the hypocrite. He will carry wood or bear physical burdens, but he is unwilling to engage in struggle (the intellectual struggle). They built mosques in the time of our Prophet (saas). Building mosques is hard work, and they walked a long way to it. But the hypocrite will never struggle or preach the word or get involved with regards to love of Allah, making others love Allah or uniting Muslims into a single body. The hypocrite may get up in the morning and pray. There are also Ramadan hypocrites. The hypocrite needs to be seen. That is why they hint, through facial expressions, how worn out they are from fasting and then pull out their prayer beads. But if you mention about causing Islam to prevail across the world, that is the hypocrite's weak spot. He will never consider causing people to love Allah or encouraging Muslims to collect around a single spiritual leader and act as one body.
The hypocrite is devoted to his family but not to his Muslim brothers. His devotion to his family is on the condition that he acquires power. He loves his mother but so that the inheritance from his father comes to him. He waits patiently for the death of his father and grandfather so that he inherits.
It is always irreligion that lies behind murders. It is impossible for someone who believes in Allah to commit murder and such things are part of the character of the hypocrite. Some may do because they are mentally ill, but most people kill because they are hypocrites.
They employ a satanic logic when they claim that Hazrat Mahdi (as) is a collective personality. My apologies to those who do so honestly but out of ignorance. Satan says, "All right, that may be what the hadiths and the Qur'an say, but we can also look at it from this perspective. And do you know what that perspective states? All these mujaddid (reviver) have come and gone.
Bediuzzaman served the faith very well, as did Abdul-Qadir Gilani on that subject, and also Imam-i Rabbani. But how can Hazrat Mahdi (as) be a human being who does what they could not and make the moral values of Islam rule the world, something that even our Prophet (saas) could not do?" That is satan's logic.
Bediuzzaman says, "if there are three separate Mahdis, then there is no true Mahdi." "In order to be the true Mahdi one must fully discharge the three duties in the field of religious affairs, politics and governance."
There is now a war between that logic and reason. Satan uses that logic, while we use the Qur'an, the hadiths and good conscience. Logic drags people down while good conscience raises them up. Hypocrites and satan are masters of logic, but Muslims are rational and of good conscience.
Satan's stratagem is very clever, and his main weapon is logic. Satan will behave more intensely and expertly in the End Times. Satan says, "Do not fight a battle in this heat." Logic says there should be no battle in the heat. Satan is a master of logic. "Be logical and don't get carried away," he says. So a person does not pray or fast even if he had intended to. Instead of taking many books from a library, he takes just two.
Satans will enter the community of the Mahdi under the guise of human beings. You think they were born of human parents, but they are satans. They are born of parents, but they are satans. The young person who is killed in the story of Hazrat Khidr (as) was a satan. They seem normal up to a certain age, but then satan enters their souls.
Zealotry easily enters and spreads among people. Belief in the trinity has spread very quickly in Christianity. Jews do not live by true Judaism. Judaism has more than 660 essential conditions, but when we ask how all these can be fulfilled, they say, "The Mahdi will arrange it all when he comes." They do not really fulfill them.
Iblis will accuse Hazrat Mahdi (as) of weakening the religion.
As our Prophet (saas) said, and as Imam-i Rabbani also said, that fanatic will appear in Istanbul and will accuse Hazrat Mahdi (as) of weakening the faith by modernizing it.
The Prophet Moses (as) tells his people to sacrifice an ox. In such a case you would take any ox and kill it. That is easy. But they ask, "What kind of ox?" They are not content with Allah (Surely Allah is beyond that), they want more detail. Allah tells us they almost did not sacrifice the animal at all. But they did not want to kill an animal right from the outset.
The movement of the Mahdi is based on reason and making things easy. But satan wants to drown the religion by making it as difficult as possible. He will want to make it impossible to pray or to perform the ritual ablution. Then people will see that it is impossible to pray as described. I know many people who do not pray simply because of this pedantic detail of satan's.
The story of Dhu'l Qarnayn refers to "essential knowledge." Pedantry is common among hypocrites. But the movement of the Mahdi involves essential knowledge, whereas the hypocrite delights in complexity and difficulty. A very complicated and difficult conception of religion will obviously collapse and nobody will abide by it.
Atheists say, "Ancient pagan communities also used to pray." They foolishly imagine that this is evidence that Islam is not the true faith. The fact is, however, that this information also came to the pagans 2000 years ago. It is the remnants of the old true faith. "Ancient pagans also believed in Paradise and Hell," they say. This is information left over from the true faith 5000 years ago. The fact that people used to pray and remember the name of Allah in ancient communities is clear proof that the Qur'an is the truth and that the true faith of Allah has been known for thousands of years. If something has been the same for 5000 years, it is proof that this is the true faith.
Devotion to Hazrat Mahdi (as) is devotion to our Prophet (saas). When a person is devoted to his commander, he is devoted to our Prophet (saas), and thus to Allah. The Prophet Jesus (as) is a great Prophet. The prophet of such a great community, esteemed by most people in the world, is devoted to Hazrat Mahdi (as), in other words to our Prophet (saas), too.
It is a great deficiency to be a scholar but not a scholar of salvation. They have no knowledge of the heart. Allah does not manifest His name of al-Hadi in them. If one is not a scholar of salvation one lacks the most vital point. Religious jurisprudence can be learned from anywhere. If you want a mechanical device you can teach it from Ömer Nasuhi Bilmen's catechism, and many more teachers will become scholars. But that device will not shed light on the path to salvation. It cannot shed the warmth of salvation. There are chairs and professors of religious jurisprudence in America, China and Russia, very many scholars. But they are irreligious and atheists. They cannot be instruments of salvation. Scholars are not guides to salvation.
Hazrat Mahdi (as) also possesses essential knowledge, wisdom. He does not like demagoguery. The logic of satan, pedantry and demonic quibbling dominate the hypocrite. But reason, love, wisdom and essential knowledge reign in Hazrat Mahdi (as). That is why the satanic knowledge that enfolds the world, Darwinism for instance, consists of millions of satanic details, and hundreds of thousands of books have been written about it. There are thousands of university chairs on the subject. But as a forerunner of Hazrat Mahdi (as), all I needed to do is blow. And now what remains of demagoguery logic, pedantry and quibbling? Not a sound comes from them now. What happened to shaping people by your logic?
You look at sly satans and see they have prayer beads and a skull cap on their heads. But they have the souls of killers and thirst for blood. But Hazrat Mahdi (as) prevents bloodshed. Satan moves among people without their knowing, but true guides know who he is. "There is something wrong in his face," they say.
Such people cunningly turn Muslims from the faith through their pedantry. Muslims are so swamped in such a system they are unaware they have turned from the faith.
Allah says He will show His signs in our own earthly desires. This century will be that in which Allah's promise comes true. Allah has shown us His signs. We have seen the image. We have seen there is one who sees the image. We have seen that Almighty shows us that image and that we see it. We have seen how someone hears sound. But that person has no ears. How can one hear without ears? But he hears without ears. Can one see without eyes? And what? Electrical light. What is that? It has no eyes; but it sees a very weak electric current as a bright, three-dimensional image. That being the case, how can one still not have faith? How can one account for oneself to Allah in the Hereafter? How can one say he did not understand? That is why Allah says, "We will show them Our Signs on the horizon and within themselves." And these things have happened. In the End Times. In this century. We have seen this great artistry of Allah's within us. Genetics. He has shown us the marvels in our bodies. Science has shown us the details of Allah's artistry.
Had it not been for Hazrat mahdi (as), they would have staged Armageddon and would have shed rivers of blood. But now not one drop of blood will be spilled. All weapons will be abolished.
Every prophet wishes to rule the world. The Prophet Solomon (as) ruled perhaps over 1 million people at most, and the Prophet Dhu'l Qarnayn (as) ruled over maybe a few hundred thousand. Every prophet desires the global dominion bestowed on Hazrat Mahdi (as). Some 8 billion people are being told about Islam and the moral values of Islam are coming to rule. Which prophet would not desire such a holy age? But Allah has bestowed it on Hazrat Mahdi (as). What Muslim would not wish to be Hazrat Mahdi (as)? Every Muslim would.
Hazrat Mahdi (as) will have explained all things, nobody will have any more excuses and be able to say, I never understood, I never hears, I never saw the truths of the Qur'an and the hadiths, I was influenced by atheists, I was ignorant.
Harunyahya TV, 29 August 2010
He might almost have misled us from our gods had we not stuck to them steadfastly!' (Surat al-Furqan, 42)
They say, "We nearly abandoned the perversion of Darwinism and materialism."
In the first book of the Torah, when the Prophet Moses (as) saw the might bestowed on and the activities of the Qaim from the line of Muhammad, he said, "O Lord!, make me like the Qaim from the line of Muhammad."
As I have said, everyone wants to be like Hazrat Mahdi (as). All prophets want such a global dominion.
Give good news to the believers that they will receive immense favour from Allah. (Surat al-Ahzab, 47)
The abjad calculation of this verse emerges as 2005. One single figure, pointing directly to the End Times, masha'Allah.
Do not obey the disbelievers and hypocrites and disregard their abuse of you. Put your trust in Allah. Allah suffices as a Protector. (Surat al-Ahzab, 48)
Allah commands us not to obey unbelievers and hypocrites.
Hypocrites behave basely, and gossip and imagine they do all kinds of wrong, but they in fact serve Islam, though they are unaware of it.
Allah says not to obey them, but to struggle against them.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
The F-Bomb was a highly destructive virtual weapon developed for use over the internet when frustrated users were extremely annoyed by a certain webpage, explaining why Wikipedia was usually its target. Over time, the design of the F-Bomb developed from a manual website filter to the Biggest (and most awesome) Weapon of Mass Destruction.
edit Initial Operation of an F-Bomb
A group of internet savvy students came together to destroy the "root of all evil"...Runescape...which banned them for counting to five(using profanities). With hard work, determination and sheer good fortune, their trial and error method of discovering the perfect solution to their problem took much less time than expected. Three months after their attempt at virtual terrorism, the F-Bomb was born. The F-Bomb soon was found by Satan to keep hell warm for those long winters in hell, and also decreased his gas bill during the summer. It's like solar panels for your mother's arse.
edit Effects on Targets
The F-Bomb was a combination of virtual destruction and visible profanities. MMOG and MMORPG players soon found this weapon extremely dangerous as its visual explosion blocked the screen for several seconds, proving fatal to a player in battle. The developers of Runescape, Fagex, penisburg, were astounded by this technology and made the decision that always worked for them. Blame a person that didn't exist.
edit Side Effects of Usage
The F-Bomb indirectly caused approximately 200,000 suicides every year. This was because the F-Bomb put to waste years of the lives of computer addicts around the globe. Some open-minded players however, enjoyed the presence of the F-Bomb, which exploded in various places and in some cases, inside the virtual player itself. The F-Bomb has caused fights to break out, and mass chaos to occur.
edit The Modern Age of F-Bombs
cult gang syndicate group of students who invented the original F-Bomb, became a very successful team of hobos, raiding not derelict houses, but hotel rooms. During one of these parties was the confrontation that would change the world. The profanity which inspired them to make the F-Bomb. They decided to modify the original version to simply blow up objects for fun. After being chased out by security for simply 'being black', they began their work. It was not the best inspiration, but not many complained as the new version was a legend in itself.
edit Completely Detailed Design of F-Bomb 2
edit Outer Shell
The plating used to contain the inner workings of the bomb are somewhat strong, There are three layers used to make the outer shell. The outer layer, made of aluminum, is to enable designers to paint the bomb in attractive colors to put the enemy off their guard while not weighing too much at the same time. The default design is hot-rod.
The middle shell was made up of millions of shrapnel, crudely put together with PVA glue. The assumed use was to injure people even more when the F-Bomb detonated. However, the fact that the blast would be faster than the flying shrapnel and would probably melt it in the first place proved this reason false(just plain stupid). A more valid reason was given, "The engineers have nothing better to do".
The inner shell has to be the strongest and most detailed shell of them all, obviously. The F-Bomb however, has a unique characteristic. The inner shell is made of a few copper sheets, nailed together with a few steel nails. The strongest materials known to man.
edit Inner Workings
The absolute power of the F-Bomb comes from this very design. An F-shaped U-6303(Modified Uranium) bullet fires through a cavity. The bullet then hits a ridiculously long C-4 chain, which leads to a ridiculously large chamber containing Pu-6326(Modified Plutonium). Upon contact, the Uranium and the Plutonium become a forced fusion molecule. A chain reaction occurs, leading to devastating results(down).
edit Devastating Results
The F-Bomb has all the features of a Nuclear Bomb and more. It's destruction is delivered in 4 stages. Most dead bodies still intact are found to be smiling. Most probably the result of having the opportunity to face 'Pure-Awesomeness' first hand. Pure awesomeness can also be used as an alternate fuel source in jet aircraft. So far no feasible capture method has been invented.
edit Stage 1 - Extreme Heat
Never has heat energy been more desired in regions with temperate climate. With the F-Bomb, people are literally blown to bits with this new-fangled 'MEGA-Heater' of the century. People experience this heat in 3 different ways: melting, catching on fire and when close enough, decomposing atom by atom. People who do not experience awesomeness yet will not regret. The best part has yet to come.
edit Stage 2 - Ground Shock waves
A fraction of a second after the Heat stage, a powerful force comes from the source of the explosion, bringing buildings, structures, objects and everyday citizens, to rubble. These shock waves cover a larger area than that of the heat, meaning that it has it's own area to cause destruction.
edit Stage 3 - Radiation - F-Rays
This stage is by far the weirdest stage known to man. The radiation emitted consists of Gamma Rays and F-Rays. Though Gamma Rays are dangerous, F-Rays have a 'unique' effect on people. According to the laws of physics (which nobody really takes seriously. Just ask God), these rays of radiation can pass through walls, objects, basically everything. F-Rays are no exception. However, an F-Ray, upon contact with a living organism, activates the sexual hormones in that organism, causing this organism to have strong sexual desires, regardless of age and gender.
edit Stage 4 - Profanities
The Apocalypse of the F-Bomb has arrived, eliminating anyone unfortunate and unlucky enough to remain standing. Not only does the victim hear a common vulgarity, but gets blasted 20,000 feet into the air. There was a case where a victim was sucked into the jet turbine of a passing plane. Still slightly dazed, the passengers of the plane experienced 'Pure-Awesomeness' second hand.
edit Rare Cases - Survivors
Just like inverse proportion, MORE F-Bombs means a smaller global population. But, there are a few exceptions. Even people who were far away enough to avoid being hit by the F-Bomb committed suicide just by looking at its awesome power. One of the few survivors of the F-Bomb quoted, "I don't know what came to me, I just felt so disappointed for not being in the range of awesomeness. I mean c'mon, I'm a total failure. I even failed suicide."
edit F-Bomb v2 Usage
The F-Bomb has been used countless times, affecting every country worldwide (in the form of heat, tsunamis, crashing of economies etc). Appoximately 3000 F-Bombs have been used over towns, cities and even oceans. Unsurprisingly, the UN, along with every government, does not mind at all. "The people are happy. Besides, we despise those 'insurance' companies." they said. However, the UN questioned why the F-Bombs were dropped in such unexpected locations. This included the oceans, the mountain ranges, the deserts and most daringly, The United States of America.
edit Disadvantages of the F-Bomb
Though the F-Bomb had very few disadvantages, there were still some 'technical problems' which the designers were too drunk to consider. This involved the rare but possible chance that the F-Bomb would trigger at any time at all. Also, the F-Bomb trigger process was incredibly long, meaning the bomb detonated 45 minutes after actually being triggered.
edit The F-Bomb Today
The inventors have been given respect to a certain extent. People had to accept that 'hobos can be geniuses too'. The F-Bomb is no longer used, unfortunately. There have been corrupt versions called Nuclear Bombs and Atomic Bombs. However, none of them can ever match up to the destruction of the F-Bomb and the 'Pure-Awesomeness' it emited from the core. Why the F-Bomb disappeared from the Earth, it's quite obvious. But one thing is for certain...It will return...

Two long-standing WEIU productions return for new seasons in September!
More details available soon!
American ExperienceRipley: Believe It or Not | Wednesday, 8 p.m.
LeRoy Robert Ripley rose to fame during the Great Depression, transforming himself from a skinny, bucktoothed boy into an entertainer who mesmerized the nation with his razzle-dazzle blend of homespun Americana, colorful exotica and freakish oddities. Over three decades, his "Believe It or Not!" franchise grew into an entertainment empire, expanding from newspapers to every form of "new media" in the 20th century: radio, film and, ultimately, television. At the center of it all was Ripley, whose obsession with the odd and keen eye for the curious made him one of the richest men in the country. Americans not only loved his bizarre fare, but were fascinated by the man himself; the eccentric, globetrotting playboy became an unlikely national celebrity. This is the story of the man who popularized the iconic phrase, and proof of why we still can?t resist his challenge to "Believe it - or not!"
The Great British Baking ShowBatter | Wednesday, 9 p.m.
Join nine bakers for the first-ever batter week. They prepare a British favorite that demands a uniform bake across the batch; a technical challenge that requires a perfect pastry, sweet filling and delicate icing; and a showstopping Spanish classic.
They Were Our FathersThursday | 9 p.m.
Gold Star sons and daughters honor their dads on Father's Day at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.
Notice to WEIU Viewers with DirecTV Service
We're reaching out to you today because of an urgent issue that is impacting your ability to view WEIU programs. DirecTV has recently relocated one of its satellite receivers to an AT&T building in Decatur, which was formerly located in Springfield.
Normally, this would not be an issue, as Decatur is still in our market as defined by the FCC. However, WEIU signals do not reach this location in Decatur with the minimum quality required by the DirecTV.
As a result, DirecTV has dropped WEIU from its satellite carriage — and viewers who have previously been able to receive our unique programming like Being Well, City Spotlight, The Paw Report, NewsWatch can now no longer watch these programs at home.
As part of a must-carry agreement, DirecTV is required to fund any expenses we would incur in providing them our signal if this relocation happened before a normal renewal cycle (which it has) ... unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be happening.
This is why we need your help. Please reach out to DirecTV and request that it carries WEIU — let them know how important it is for this channel to come back in your viewing area. Please call DirecTV at 1-855-802-3473 and let them know that WEIU is an educational programming asset in your community and you can't afford to lose it.

High Level Meeting on the Rule of Law: Statement by Security Council President Westerwelle
(Statement delivered by Dr. Guido Westerwelle, Foreign Minister of Germany, in his capacity as President of the Security Council at the "High Level Meeting on the Rule of Law at the National and International Levels")
"Mr. President, Mr. Secretary-General, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is an honor to address this August assembly, on behalf of the Security Council, at its first ever plenary meeting devoted exclusively to the rule of law. Today's meeting and the representation of states at the highest level attest to the international community's firm commitment to the rule of law. Let me therefore pay tribute to the General Assembly which has set the normative framework on which we all base our common efforts, and to express the Council's appreciation to you, Mr. Secretary-General, for your activities in promoting both the peaceful settlement of disputes and the rule of law.
Today, the rule of law is an important concept in the work of the Security Council. Since 2003, the Council has held several thematic debates on the rule of law in the context of international peace and security, and several Presidential Statements have recognized the crucial relevance of the rule of law across the full spectrum of the Council's agenda. Thematic and country-specific resolutions adopted by the Council since 2003 have regularly addressed issues related to the rule of law, both in its international and national dimensions.
Mr. President,
As a principal organ of the United Nations, the Security Council remains firmly committed to the Charter of the United Nations and international law as indispensable foundations of a more peaceful, prosperous and just world.
The Council attaches vital importance to universal adherence to and implementation of the rule of law. The promotion of justice and the rule of law are essential for peace, prevention of armed conflict and cooperation among states. The Council is convinced that international law plays a critical role in fostering stability and order in international relations. International law also provides a framework for addressing common challenges, and thereby contributes to the maintenance of international peace and security.
The Security Council is committed to and actively supports the peaceful settlement of disputes. It has consistently called upon Member States to settle their disputes by peaceful means as set forth in Chapter VI of the Charter. The International Court of Justice, the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, plays a key role in adjudicating disputes among states. Let me therefore call upon all states that have not yet done so to consider accepting the jurisdiction of the Court in accordance with its Statute.
Sustainable peace requires an integrated and coherent approach. In this regard, rule of law is one of the key elements of conflict prevention and peacekeeping, as well as of conflict resolution and peace building. This is why the Security Council has included support for the rule of law in the mandates of many peacekeeping and special political missions worldwide.
The Security Council is committed to ensure that all UN efforts to restore peace and security themselves respect and promote the rule of law. Especially after the end of peacekeeping and other relevant missions, a coordinated approach among all parts of the UN system must include capacity building support to assist national authorities to uphold the rule of law. In this context, the Council has recognized the importance of national ownership in rule of law assistance activities, including the strengthening of accessible and responsive justice and security institutions.
Mr. President,
The Security Council remains strongly opposed to impunity for serious violations of international humanitarian law and human rights law. States must therefore comply with their relevant obligations to end impunity. They must thoroughly investigate and prosecute persons who are responsible for war crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity or other serious violations of international humanitarian law. Those who are responsible for sexual and other violations against women and girls must be held accountable. It is only through these means that violations can be prevented, their recurrence be avoided, and sustainable peace, justice, truth and reconciliation be achieved.
The Council has repeatedly noted the contribution of the International Criminal Court, of ad hoc and mixed tribunals, as well as of chambers in national tribunals to the fight against impunity for the most serious crimes of concern to the international community. And it has reiterated the importance of State cooperation with these Courts and Tribunals in accordance with the States' respective obligations.
The Security Council has expressed concern about the threat posed by transnational organised crime and drug trafficking to international security in different regions of the world. It has called for coordinated action by the United Nations and its Member States to fight these threats by implementing national and international applicable norms, through long-term capacity-building efforts, and regional initiatives.
Sanctions remain an important tool in the maintenance and restoration of international peace and security. The Council has stressed the need to ensure that Sanctions are carefully targeted in support of clear objectives and designed carefully so as to minimize possible adverse consequences, and are implemented by Member States. The Council is committed to fair and clear procedures for placing individuals and entities on sanctions lists and for removing them, as well as for granting humanitarian exemptions.
Mr. President,
Today's debate represents a milestone in the promotion of the rule of law through the United Nations. The Security Council remains fully committed to contributing its share in strengthening the rule of law at both the national and international level. Both are inherently linked, for every nation that proclaims the rule of law at home must respect it abroad, and every nation that insists on it abroad must enforce it at home.
I thank you."

Looks like I know what word to say when I pass people during the Striders run on Sunday morning.
MTA: While I do this:
Hey, it's almost time to leave work ! WOOT!
Yeah, that word is kinda annoying. It makes me think of Toot. And really, who says that in real life? Great, now I think I want to punch someone. Which would be funny since I punch like a girl who can't punch. Good thing I've never been in a fight.
Casa...we can't do stuff like that at the Striders run.
Sounds like there might be chances elsewhere though!!!
. Great, now I think I want to punch someone. .
50,000 Miles Later
My Grandma said toot. But it had a totally different meaning.
S&M Collector
You can do whatever the hell you want as long as you get pictures.
Save it for the Monkey.
How many meanings are there to Toot? I can only think of one, it ryhmes with heart.
I no longer allow photographs.
Oh great.
I'm probably the person people want to punch most at the Monkey.
Maybe we should make a poll?
I'm not exactly sure...which makes it all the more annoying. But what is "woot"? I see it used when people are happy or excited. Are there people who actually say "woot" in real life? Is it a bastardization of "woo hoo"?
Do men say "woot" or is it a girly thing?

RADNOR, Pa. - The University of Pennsylvania men's lacrosse team put together arguably its best offensive performance of the season on Friday night at Radnor High School, and dominated St. John's 17-10 at Prevost Field.
Eleven different players scored on a night filled with crisp passing and excellent shooting by the Quakers. Nick Doktor was simply magnificent, with three goals and three assists for a career-high six points -- the most by a Penn player this season --while Zack Losco also scored three times.
So Penn ends the regular season at 9-3, the program's best regular-season finish since the 2006 team went 10-3 en route to the postseason. The Quakers also have a six-game winning streak, the longest since that same 2006 squad started its campaign with six wins.
Doktor needed just 1:09 to get on the board on Friday, Doktor finishing a feed from Losco to get things going. St. John's (7-7) made it 1-1 when one of the nation's leading scorers, Kieran McArdle, netted the first ofwhat would befive goals on the night. (He would also add an assist.)
Penn scored the next three goals, and never looked back. Kevin Brown got the run started, followed by a Chris Hilburn goal assisted by Jeff Puckette and another unassisted goal, this one by Losco.
Ryan Fitzgerald briefly halted the run with his first goal, but Losco, Isaac Bock and Puckette made it 7-2 midway through the second quarter. By halftime, it was 10-4.
Fitzgerald made it 10-5 early in the third quarter, but Doktor and Losco quickly answered and it was 12-5. McArdle's third of the night made the score 12-6, but Will Laco finished a nice feed from Doktor in a man-up situation and then Brown completed a great play by Drew Belinsky that pushed the Quakers into a 14-6 advantage.
McArdle and Fitzgerald briefly gave St. John's life, but Belinsky roped a goal from distance – his second such goal in the game – which made the score 15-8. McArdle had one more goal in him, but Doktor and Chris Hupfeldt finished off Penn's scoring before a final Red Storm goal.
Penn dominated all facets of this game; the Quakers won the faceoff battle 23-8, outshot the Red Storm 49-33, and collected 39 grounds balls to 22 by St. John's. In goal, senior Brian Feeney went the distance for the Quakers and made 11 saves.
Penn will learn its opponent and site for next Friday's Ivy League Tournament semifinal tomorrow, as Ivy play wraps up among the other six teams.

Elizabeth and John had seven children: Mary Green; Margaret Martha; Musey D.; Catherine R. A.; Napoleon B.; Jane E.; and Sarah L. Some time after 1835, the Carneys moved to Johnson Co., MO, where John died in 1839. Johnson Co. was located on the periphery of MO's "Little Dixie" region and, during the Civil War, became a hotbed of strife and guerrilla warfare, which apparently exacted a heavy toll on the Carney family. Some of the Carney daughters married Confederate "bushwhackers"; others wed Union men. Passions were exceedingly high. Elizabeth apparently died after 1850. The exact date and place of her death are not currently known.

The semi-trailer that Tony Abbott will be driving from Brisbane to the New South Wales central coast over the next two days is emblazoned with pictures of fruit and vegetables, but what produce will the Opposition Leader be carrying on his journey?
"Hope, reward and opportunity - that's what we're carrying," the part-time cyclist, part-time author, part-time truck driver told reporters.
Mr Abbott, who has faced calls this year to promote a more positive message ahead of the 2013 federal election, set off from the Brisbane fresh food markets at Rocklea on Wednesday morning on a two-day journey down to Terrigal on the NSW central coast.
He is using the trip to spruik his promise to complete the duplication of the Pacific Highway – an issue that has reignited state-federal squabbling over funding.
Mr Abbott's $5.6 billion pledge includes $3.56 billion already allocated by the Gillard government plus the redirection of $2.08 billion that had been earmarked for Sydney's Parramatta to Epping rail link.
He argued Pacific Highway upgrades should be paid for through the "traditional" 80:20 funding split, with the federal government picking up the lion's share and the NSW O'Farrell government picking up a smaller tab.
Federal Infrastructure and Transport Minister Anthony Albanese's office said $7.7 billion extra was required to complete the upgrades by 2016, an objective set by the former Howard government.
His spokesman said the federal government had put aside $3.56 billion in this year's budget but wanted NSW to match the funding dollar for dollar.
"Federal Labor is asking no more of the NSW Coalition government than what the former Howard government demanded of the former NSW Labor government – and what they themselves promised to do – a joint 50:50 funding agreement," he said.
Speaking to reporters alongside the truck borrowed from Nolan's Interstate Transport, Mr Abbott said the Coalition would redirect funding away from Sydney's Parramatta to Epping rail link because that project was "highly political" and no longer on the NSW government's agenda.
Mr Abbott said the Coalition wanted to complete the Pacific Highway duplication work "well within this decade" but did not specify what year.
"Let's stop the argy bargy, let's stop the blame game; let's just get it built," he said.
Rather than a stunt, Mr Abbott described his truck trip as an "important way" to highlight the Coalition's commitment. He'll be stopping at key electorates along the way including the seat of Lyne held by independent MP Rob Oakeshott.
Mr Abbott's minders said the Opposition Leader obtained his current truck licence just before the end of last year, but were tight-lipped as to whether he would personally drive the entire journey.
"Drive carefully on the way down to Sydney," Wright MP Scott Buchholz implored before Mr Abbott entered the cab of the truck and drove slowly out of the markets precinct.

Samsung SyncMaster 915N: 8ms Response Timesby Kristopher Kubicki on 5/25/2005 12:05 AM EST

Spacecomber - Sunday, May 29, 2005 - linkLX, the only non-TN (ie, a 8-bit) panel that I am aware of that is suitable for gaming is the 20" IPS panel from LG Philips, which is found in the Dell 2001FP, for example. This is specified as a 16ms panel (as you noted, for whatever that is worth). It probably is not as blur-free as the fastest TN monitors, but I think many would consider this monitor "good-enough" for gaming. I would guess-timate that it is similar to a 12ms TN panel in this regard, since IPS panels do not show quite the same increase in response times when comparing black to white transitions to more subtle black to grey or grey to grey transitions as the TN panels do (and even more so VA panels, which really suffer in this area).
This panel is used in LCDs from other manufacturers, as well. BenQ's FP2091, for example, which is not a big surprise sine BenQ appears to be the OEM behind the Dell 2001FP.
You can pick out some other likely candidates from this list, http://www.tftpanel.hu/index.php?topic=monitortabl... . The site is non-english, but the tables are still quite readable.
There may be other 8 bit panels that can keep up with the LG Philips LM201U04, but I'm not aware of them at this time. Well, except maybe for the wide screen version of this panel. See Anandtech's comparison of the Dell and Apple versions of these 20" widescreens to see what they thought of them.

jiulemoigt - Sunday, May 29, 2005 - link"There were several instances while playing games where we could pick up small artifacts along the edges of the screen, and this anomaly seemed dependent on where the analog input cable was positioned on the desk. Analog interconnects need to disappear off the face of the earth, and fast."
Why every once in while some thing is just plain wrong. Your problem is due to cheap cable or not screwing the cable ends on all tight, for artifacts to show up on your screen you have have to have some pretty heavy rads{em emmissions} off unshielded or badly shielded speakers, microwave overs, transitor radios, i'm trying to thick of anything else that you might consevibly have on your desktop that would cause artifacts, and thats all I could think of the top of my head. Most of the artifacts I have seen from doing both support and workstation graphics are from heat and bad feq on the signal, and not having a high enough refresh if you are used to working at higher rates.
Analog interfaces vs digital ones usually have more to do with bandwidth limitations rather than signal interference. Your high end commercial lcds all have BNC interfaces as you will get a crisper sharper picture out of a BNC becuse your not forced into preset gradients between each color, your only limited by the device reciving and the cables. 15 pin serial < dvi-a/i < bnc {per channel}, so just putting a dvi connector on a dsp is not going to help if the dsp can not handle bandthwidth at it's end.
a good example is SyncMaster™ 460PN (46" monitor)
which you can game on but probably should not be since the run about 10 grand...
I usually check anand for hardware you guys usually have your stuff together but with coments like analog being bad not simply old serial conectors that were around in commador days are limited for some reason... I don't know and I'm looking to replace my 900IFT with a lcd for home gaming but so far it was dell vs apple which are nice, but there should be more to it then that samsungs 24" not in I'm guessing it still considered expensive but still costs less than my video card? I'm biased as I work with nice colors every day but coming home to screen blurs and/or is not is nice as my crt i'm replacing, then it doesn't make sense to replace it :) Reply
LX - Saturday, May 28, 2005 - linkThe problem is that one cannot directly compare response time specs between different panels due to marketing misinformation.
So my question is, are there any 8-bit monitors (PVA/MVA/IPS/S-IPS) with good response times in REAL-LIFE scenarios (not on paper)?
xtknight - Saturday, May 28, 2005 - linkNice review.
QUOTE: ...Using some color correction techniques in the OSD, we could usually compensate for the washed out effect, but we obviously would not want to do this for every game/level. A software interface for the OSD would go a long way here....
Kristopher, have you tried the Samsung MagicTune software? Though this won't necessarily help you in games, it is a nice OSD front-end for Windows. The Samsung 915N you reviewed does have this. It's available off the monitor CD or Samsung's website. I love it... http://www.samsung.com/Products/Monitors/magictune...
Also, the Samsung 930B would probably have been better to review, because it's identical (as far as I know) and has a DVI connection. Reply
sbbots - Friday, May 27, 2005 - linkBeing an avid gamer, I did a LOT of comparing before I picked up a Samsung 930B for $349 ($429 minus $80 rebate) at Best Buy. I have always used CRTs for gaming and LCDs for the kids/wife computer, but this one changed my mind forever.
Gaming has never looked as good as it does on my new LCD - CS Source, Joint Operations, SWAT 4 and World of WarCraft all look fabulous with zero ghosting. I'm not sure what the reviewer is talking about when he says that the color isn't very good on the 915N (or 930B by proxy), but with a DVI cable, the color looks as good as any Dell or Sony I have ever owned.
Anyway, I highly recommend this monitor to any gamer. Reply
TurtleBlue - Friday, May 27, 2005 - linkHmm...the Dell UltraSharp 1905FP is now selling for $455.05 at the Dell website today (05/27/05). Thats a pretty fat increase for something that should be "slightly cheaper" than the Samsung model being reviewed, after only 2 days since published?!?(which at NewEgg is selling for $342.99). That Samsung is going to look real "purdy" on my desk, replacing my old NEC 15" multisync LCD. Reply
Spacecomber - Friday, May 27, 2005 - linkThat's an interesting tip Nessism. I see that BenQ manufactures the 2001FP. Reply
Nessism - Friday, May 27, 2005 - linkMrEMan,
If you go to Dells site and dig up the "Regulatory" information you can read who makes the Dell monitor. For example, Liteon builds the 1905FP. I don't think Liteon builds them all though so you need to look up the specific monitor you are interested in. You need to be careful though because even though Liteon may assemble the monitor that does not mean it uses a Liteon screen inside.
Hope this helps.

JarredWalton - Thursday, May 26, 2005 - link31 - That roundup would have to be done by Kris. I've merely talked to him about some of the information I've given in the comments. As for the 6-bit being better than an 8-bit for gaming, it's not the colors that are better; it's the response time. While response times are often just fantasy marketing numbers, the fact is that the fastest 8-bit panels are still more prone to "motion blur" than the fastest 6-bit panels.
32 - The main reason AnandTech hasn't reviewed a lot of the Tier 2 LCDs is that they don't commit to a single panel (just like the L90D+ I mentioned). If they find a cheaper panel, they can change at any time. In fact, numerous LCD manufacturers will have the same model name with three or more different panels used, depending on the date of manufacture. "Reviewing" such an LCD when we can't guarantee what panel will actually be used would be a major disservice to our readers. And the 4ms displays are likely just the 8ms panels with marketing using 1/2 the TrTf value. (See the second paragraph of the introduction.) Reply
LX - Thursday, May 26, 2005 - linkSpacecomber (#20), the LTM190E4 is specd to be half as bright as the LTM240M1 (250 vs. 500 cd/m^2).
I am not sure how it translate to real-life scenarions though. Reply
JNo - Thursday, May 26, 2005 - linkI did comment this on the preceding LG display review but just to reiterate...
"I know anandtech focuses a lot on the Dells and Samsungs in the LCD world, which is in many ways fair enough given their marketshares, but there are other LCDs coming out which I'd like to see reviews of. I know response time isn't everything and is often a controversial subject but I'd love to see priority reviews on the reported 6ms Gray To Gray (GTG) BenQ FP91V+ and the reported 4ms GTG Viewsonic VX924. Inquiring minds would love to know.." Reply
at80eighty - Thursday, May 26, 2005 - linkJarred, Kristopher ..ANYONE!!
this has probably been asked before (my apologies in that case)
Could we have a round up of the best 19"+ monitors for gaming?
and here's the noob question of the day - how is a 6bit monitor better for gaming than a 8bit?
Thnx in advance
DoctorH - Wednesday, May 25, 2005 - linkI was debating getting the 915N or the NEC 1970GX, also an 8ms LCD, but with the glossy black screen that makes movies look better.
I decided to go for the glossy black screen. Plus I get a 700:1 contrast ratio, and DVI inputs, and USB hub.
All this for $535 canadian.
No dead pixels either.
A friend of mine also picked one up.
Best monitor I've laid eyes on. I did a direct comparison with the 915n, which was also, good, however, no DVI, and had that matte black finish. Reply
archcommus - Wednesday, May 25, 2005 - link#26, thanks. The 930B is definitely still my choice, then. I'm going to pick it up at Best Buy.
I want to buy it now, but my upgraded computer won't be ready for a couple weeks still, and I don't want to buy the monitor and then just have it sit there - I want to use it actively from the moment I buy it in case any pixels or something dies. Hmm, what to do... Reply
shiznit - Wednesday, May 25, 2005 - linki apologize, didnt see the buyer's guide. but a review last year would have been nice. Reply
ocyl - Wednesday, May 25, 2005 - linkKristopher,
Thank you for your sustained poundering on 6-bit panels. It really is much appreciated.
Best regards.
MajorPayne - Wednesday, May 25, 2005 - link#24, the main differences between the 2 are 1) DVI connection (Essential for most folks), and 2) Software DPS control (useful to some, but I have never minded setting it manually, so not that useful to me). The other specs are the same.... 8ms response time, still no swivel (at least it does tilt), and a beautiful screen. I was playing farcy64 last night on mine (I just got it 2 days ago), and could not believe how beautiful everything looked. I kept getting killed because I stopped to stare at stuff ;)! Reply
Rocket321 - Wednesday, May 25, 2005 - linkSo what is the actual response time for the Dell 1905? This review indicates that it is a 25ms panel - several times. Yet in the full review from January it is listed as a 20ms panel. Which review has it right? Reply
archcommus - Wednesday, May 25, 2005 - linkI wanted to get a 930B pretty soon, is it different in any ways besides having DVI? Should I still get that one? Reply

Spacecomber - Wednesday, May 25, 2005 - linkNeogodless, I think they do qualify their objective analysis by saying that their equipment doesn't do a very good job of measuring the blackest blacks. This means that the black measurements are somewhat misleading; they appear to be more similar than actually is the case. In actual use, the difference is apparent. The monitors that have PVA panels (Samsung 193P and Dell 1905FP)and even a IPS panel (Dell 2005FP) reproduce something much closer to true black compared to what the TN panels are capable of, regardless of what the "spyder" says.

neogodless - Wednesday, May 25, 2005 - link"The Samsung is the brighter monitor, but it cannot produce a dark enough of an image that many of our other displays can."
The only display with a lower black image reading was another Samsung (at 2.2). Please explain! Reply
Spacecomber - Wednesday, May 25, 2005 - linkLX, Samsung has a 19" panel, LTM190E4, http://www.samsung.com/Products/TFTLCD/Monitors_n_... , which appears to have the same specification as the LTM240M1 that you mentioned (except this this 19" panel does not use a wide screen format).
I believe that this LTM190E4 panel is what is being used in the Samsung 193P Plus or 193P+, http://product.samsung.com/cgi-bin/nabc/product/b2... . But, I don't think this monitor is widely available (yet?).
I'm eager to hear, myself, whether any PVA panel, even with a 8ms response time, really is suitable for dynamic images, such as in gaming. The problem with PVA panels to date has not been that their white to black response times (which is usually the specification given) are that high, rather it is that this measurement doesn't convey how poorly PVA panels do with more subtle black to grey or grey to grey transitions. Unfortunately, a relatively low black to white response time doesn't necessarily mean you can expect a similar improvement in the black to grey and grey to grey response times.
So, I remain interested in learning more about these 8ms PVA panels, but I'm also skeptical of them, until I see a thorough review done.
(The Eizo L778 is another 19" PVA based LCD that sounds like it might be a relatively low response time monitor, at least based on the specifications. I'm not aware of any thorough reviews of it, either.)

MrEMan - Wednesday, May 25, 2005 - linkI posted this in the previous LG review, but I don't recall seeing an answer: does anyone know who builds Dell's LCD monitors, and how do their retail versions compare to the OEM version produced for Dell? Reply
LX - Wednesday, May 25, 2005 - linkThe Samsung LTM240M1 panel used in the Dell 2405FPW has excellent specs:
Unfortunately, 24" wide screen (1,920 x 1,200) is not the best choice for crowded workplaces, mid-range graphics cards and/or tighter budgets.
Are there LCD monitors that use panels with comparable specs but smaller sizes?
MajorPayne - Wednesday, May 25, 2005 - linkThis was a great review... I own the 930B (the newer version of this screen with the DVI input. Also, no one has noted this about the 930B yet, but one other thing the article had on it's wish list (software to control the DSP settings) is included with the 930B. The 930B is an awesome display, and since I got it for only $320.00 (and there were 2 mail in rebates for $80.00 on top of that) at my local Fry's, I could not help but buy it. I love the damn thing! Also, this is the first LCD I have ever had (I have owned 6 of them before this one) that does not have even 1 single dead pixel. Great job on a great screen Samsung!! Reply
WT - Wednesday, May 25, 2005 - link19" LCD reviews = HAWT !!! (as Paris would say)
Keep them coming .. these things have become the new Ipod and every semi-hardcore PC user I know is contemplating an LCD purchase. I'm buying one myself in 3 weeks (leaning towards the Fuji FP-988D). Reply
Spacecomber - Wednesday, May 25, 2005 - linkyacoub, what you are looking for is a LCD that uses a IPS panel (In-Plane Switching). All the TN panels (Twisted Neumatic) are only capable of 6 bit color, and all the PVA (Patterned Vertical Alignment) monitors will have too slow a response time, especially once you get away from only talking about black to white transitions.
Unfortunately, the IPS panels are pretty much only found in 20" displays (and larger), such as the Dell's that RaidenSix mentioned.
Perhaps as consumers become better educated about the limitations of "low response time" TN panels, there will be a growing demand for better quality monitors, such as those built around an IPS panels, in a greater range of sizes.

RaidenSix - Wednesday, May 25, 2005 - linkyacoub, you can look at the Dell monitors (2001FP, 2004FPW). You can get them at a good price with their coupons. Reply
yacoub - Wednesday, May 25, 2005 - linkOkay so I'm looking for a 17"-19" viewable 8-bit 8ms LCD panel. Who makes them?

yacoub - Wednesday, May 25, 2005 - linkReply
PrinceXizor - Wednesday, May 25, 2005 - linkI'm having trouble understanding your contrast ratio chart?
I assume higher white numbers are better and lower black numbers are better.
This panel has the second lowest black number (2.6) in you chart, yet, you don't like it and pronounce it "not dark enough".
I'm confused?
P-X Reply
Spacecomber - Wednesday, May 25, 2005 - linkKeep the LCD reviews coming, since this is an area of computer products that is only going to continue to grow for the forseeable future. Hopefully, as reviewers get more familiar with these monitors they will be able to tease them apart the way they do when they discuss a motherboard or a graphics card, discussing the components that make up the product and how these have an impact on performance. Just as knowing whose chipset and what audio solution is being used on a motherboard tells you a lot about what to expect from a motherboard, knowing more about the panel and the circuitry being used with an LCD will eventually be a big tip-off as to what to expect from a LCD. Anandtech is already moving along this route by taking the time to disassemble and confirm what is being used in the constrution of the LCDs they review.
As noted, the real competition for this monitor might be from the Hyundai L90D+, at least as long as it is using the same (presumably) panel as the 915N, since it does come with DVI. The other competitor that may make the 915N obsolete is the recently released Samsung 930B (as also noted above). Actually, a side by side comparison of the L90D+ and the 930B might be interesting, since it would allow us to see if we need to look a bit beyond just what panel is being used in a monitor and ask whether the supporting circuitry also makes a significant difference in final quality of a LCD's image.
(As mentioned previously, one of the disappointments for me in the Dell 19005FP, compared to the Samsung models, was the lack of ability to make adjustments to the monitor's image with the OSD controls. This really hurt the Dell 1905FP in my eyes, despite it using the same panel as the Samsung 193P.)
Finally, it might be worthwhile to look a bit more at the viewing angles when reviewing LCDs, especially when discussing TN panels, since my understanding is that this has always been a weak point for TN monitors.
You can see this in the specifications that Samsung lists for the panel used in this monitor (the link is given in this article in the first line of the page titled, Panel). On that page Samsung list the monitor's viewing angles as 75/60/75/75 (U/D/L/R), which seem more realistic than those given for the monitor, itself. Notice in particular how the when viewing the panel from below the viewing angle is less than from any other angle, this is characteristic of TN panels.
It seems to me that the narrow angles of a TN panel coupled with a stand that has very little ability to pivot (as with the 915N) could become a problem in actual use.

I really wish manufacturers would keep on designing stuff which looks like the 193P though. It probably doesn't cost that much more, and it makes a huge difference on the desk. This 915N looks like crap. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, May 25, 2005 - link4 - Which is why I recommended the Hyundai in the recent Buyer's Guide.

Mejia battling through aches and pains
LOS ANGELES -- Two days after a sore back kept him out of a save situation in Oakland, Mets closer Jenrry Mejia showed up at Dodger Stadium on Friday feeling spry enough to pitch. But that did not entirely ease the Mets' worries about their closer.
"I don't want to use the word 'concerned,' but we're cognizant of the fact that he hasn't done this throughout the season," manager Terry Collins said, "and we're getting into the final six weeks of the season where the wear and tear starts to show in some areas. We're kind of trying to make sure we're taking care of all those guys back there."
Collins was referencing the fact that Mejia has endured a litany of minor injuries this season, in addition to the major elbow and shoulder problems that vexed him in previous years. This season alone, Mejia has battled through a bunion, a forearm contusion, a blister on his throwing hand, a hernia that will require surgery this autumn, a bout of calf soreness and multiple lower back issues. Though Collins has expressed some concern that Mejia is overly sensitive to the aches and pains that every player has, the Mets are nonetheless proceeding with caution.
"He's missed time in every season," Collins said. "So for him to have a complete season, even though he's had a couple of nicks and scrapes … to get through it still is a major accomplishment for him."
Mejia's injury history, however, will play a role in the Mets' decision at closer going forward. There is a decent chance Bobby Parnell will not return from Tommy John surgery until May or June, making the closer's role a Spring Training competition among Mejia, Jeurys Familia, Vic Black and anyone else the Mets decide to import this winter.
A strong, fully healthy run at closer might have given Mejia the advantage over everyone -- including Parnell. But Collins painted a different picture Friday.
"Obviously when Bobby Parnell comes back, he will be pitching during his rehab as if he's the closer, because that's certainly our plan when he gets back," Collins said. "Now there's nothing etched in stone because certainly somebody could stand up and show up and say, 'I'm going to take that job,' and then when Bobby's ready we've got a nice problem on our hands."
Regarding Mejia's health history, Collins added: "It's going to have a lot to say. The object is to get out there a lot."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/8/2013 (1468 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have made it official -- Kyle Walters is the club's new acting general manager.
As expected, the Bombers announced this morning that Walters has been elevated from his position as the team's assistant-GM to the position of acting-GM in the wake of last week's firing of Joe Mack.
"Kyle knows our football team inside and out and is the right man to serve as our Acting General Manager," interim CEO Wade Miller said in a statement. "I have every confidence that he will play a major role in helping us get a consistently competitive product back on the field."
"I want to thank Wade for the opportunity to manage this football team as we look to get it back on track," Walters said in a statement. "In a collaborative fashion, I look forward to making the kind of changes that will position this organization for both the present and the future."
Walters was the Bombers special teams coach for three seasons before being named the club's assistant-GM and director of Canadian scouting last winter.
Prior to that, Walters was a head coach in the CIS in Guelph and also won a Grey Cup as a defensive back with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in 1999.
Miller was asked at a news conference this morning if Walters will have to meet any specific benchmarks -- do the Bombers have to make the playoffs, for instance -- in order to have the 'acting' modifier removed from his title at the end of this season.
Miller replied the team will undertake an 'exhaustive' GM search at season's end that will include Walters as a candidate. But Miller added Walters immediate future with the Bombers is secure. "No matter where we go with this search," said Miller, "Walters will be a part of this organization going forward and start providing some stability in the football operations."
Walters said he was concerned to hear some of the player comments that were reported in the media on Monday, including comments by QB Buck Pierce that he didn't know who was making football decisions for the club anymore.
"From a management standpoint, yes, my concern was it appeared the communication at some level was not where it needed to be," said Walters. "And that's been addressed and fixed today, I can assure you."
Walters also said that Ken Moll -- the team's director of player personnel and a close friend of Mack's -- remains on the club's payroll even with Mack's firing and is actively scouting NFL camps for the Bombers right now.
The Bombers also announced this morning they signed former all-star kicker Sandro DeAngelis.
DeAngelis said today that even when the CFL didn't come calling to start this season, he believed the call would come.
So the veteran kicker, once the best in the league, settled into a coaching gig in his adopted home of Omaha, Nebraska, but he kept the body ready for when a team would come calling. On Sunday night, they finally did: the Blue Bombers, searching for someone to push Justin Palardy, brought the 32-year-old DeAngelis on board.
"My job's to just come and try to be the consistent kicker that they want me to be," DeAngelis said, after taking the lion's share of the practice kicks this morning. "It's been a crazy whirlwind the last few days, but I'm enjoying every minute of it."
After an explosive first half of his career, DeAngelis struggled in more recent seasons. He kicked for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in 2010, but was released the next season, then bounced to Montreal and finally landed in Saskatchewan last year, though they cut him early this year.
Still, Bombers head coach Tim Burke knows well what DeAngelis is capable of – Burke was in Calgary coaching defensive backs while DeAngelis was earning his all-star raves with the Stampeders. Last month, Burke hinted that there are "other (kickers) out there," after a game in which Palardy was twice penalized for kicking the ball out-of-bounds, and on Sunday night the shaken club pulled the trigger.
They were looking for more distance on the kick-offs and tighter placement, Burke said, and DeAngelis was once the most accurate kicker in the league. "We needed more competition in that spot," Burke said after today's uptempo practice. "Sandro's a guy who's got a lot of different tools in his bag. We thought we'd bring him in, have some competition and see who wins the battle."
As for which of his kicker is likely to start on Friday against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Burke was non-committal. "Tomorrow, we'll watch both of them and see how it turns out," he said.
In other personnel news, Burke said injured receiver Cory Watson is likely two weeks away from game shape, and the squad plans to start offensive lineman Paul Swiston this week. "He's come along," Burke said. "We're hoping we get more production out of him."

In 8 years of playing
he's a career:
.284 Batting AVG
I know there is concerns of he will perform post PED's. But one can point to Braun. He took PED's in 2011..well, allegedly, and in 2012 he's been the same monster he's ever been.
He's got speed, some pop, plays solid defense, and I'm sure his price tag will be affordable enough because of his PED incident. Should the reds take a waiver? Is there a chance Melkey is the same Melky regardless of the PED's?
Because he would be quite a steal during this year's free agent market.
