Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/7/2014 (1130 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
TORONTO - An island community on Lake Ontario expressed a mix of relief and frustration Wednesday after a video which had many wondering if a shark was lurking nearby turned out to be an elaborate marketing ploy.
The clip made waves across the province and beyond, with many offering opinions on what they were seeing, although experts agreed the creature on camera wasn't a fresh-water-friendly bull shark but likely a large catfish.
The matter even came up at Ontario's legislature, where the governing Liberals cheekily noted there was no need to strike a Jaws-like task force, but asked residents to stay safe and report any sightings to the Natural Resources Ministry.
It was only on Wednesday afternoon that Discovery Canada, which is owned by broadcasting giant Bell Media, said a finned creature which momentarily surfaced while three men fished off a dock was in fact a life-like prosthetic model of a shark.
The channel said the video — which was posted on YouTube July 10 — was the first stage of a marketing campaign to promote an upcoming series on sharks.
But for local residents on Wolfe Island, where the video was supposed to have been filmed, the entire matter was one that set some on edge.
"I was really fearful," said Laura Staley. "Overall, I'm absolutely relieved."
For Kody Paul, the matter was something he had to discuss with his two young boys over the past week.
"Our kids grow up swimming in these waters," he said. "It certainly switched up the atmosphere around here."
Finding out the video was in fact a stunt came as a surprise, and ultimately a relief.
"It was a little bit offputting," said Paul. "We're choosing not to get too upset about it."
Wolfe Island Mayor Denis Doyle, who took numerous calls on the matter, said the stunt was perturbing.
"It's rather concerning that people do those kind of dumb things," he said, upon learning the clip was a hoax.
Those behind the fake video said they decided to come clean after seeing the frenzy of speculation sparked by the clip.
"The intent isn't to mislead or to frighten people. As soon as we started hearing stories about people were talking about not getting in the water, that's exactly when we decided to act," said Discovery Canada president Paul Lewis.
"The intent really was simply to stir up some discussion."
Lewis said the original plan had been to let the clip sit online for several weeks ahead of the series it was linked to.
"It all happened so fast," he said, adding that none of Bell Media's new channels were notified of the hoax ahead of it being revealed.
"The possibility that there's one shark in Lake Ontario would cause that sort of concern and consternation I think to me shows that there's still a lot of education to be done about sharks."
Lewis added that the channel had not, to his knowledge, communicated with anyone on Wolfe Island about the stunt but was happy to do so.
"There was no anticipation on our side to cause any kind of fear or upset at all," he said. "It was really a fun summer stunt that we thought people would engage with."

Celebrate San Diego's local jazz musicians and take in the "Sounds of Jazz Loft"
MOPA's newest exhibition, The Jazz Loft Project: W. Eugene Smith in NYC, 1957-1965, displays Smith's obsessive documentation of a dilapidated, five-story loft at 821 Sixth Avenue in New York City's flower district. Capturing the nocturnal jazz scene inside the loft and the street life below, W. Eugene Smith made approximately 40,000 exposures and recorded 4,000 hours of audiotape.
Walking through the exhibition, you get a strong sense of the loft's layout, its guests, the music, and the street life just outside. Audio recordings are playing in the galleries and at listening stations and you can begin to imagine how it might have felt to visit the loft. Well we, at MOPA, wanted to heighten that experience even more by bringing live music to the galleries.
Onthe first Thursday evening of June, July, and August stop by MOPA for a solo jazz session in the galleries, featuring celebrated local musicians selected by Jazz 88.3. Experience The Jazz Loft Project: W. Eugene Smith in NYC, 1957-1965 while the music of the time is performed live! An early session will begin at 5:30pm and a later session, at 7:00pm, will happen for the after-dinner crowd.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Egypt's Islamist-supported constitution passed a national referendum, the country's election commission announced Tuesday. The constitution received the support of 63.8% of those who voted, but only 32.9% of registered voters turned out. That was a significantly lower turnout than in other elections since a popular uprising forced the ouster of former leader Hosni Mubarak in 2011, CBS News reported on its Web site. Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, the primary group supporting the constitution, cheered the outcome. "Let's all begin to build the renaissance of our country with free will, good intentions and strong determination, men, women, Muslims and Christians," wrote the group's leader, Mohammed Badie, on Twitter, CBS News reported. The opposition, which had staged massive street protests against the proposed constitution, has vowed to challenge the results of the referendum, CBS News added. Opposition members fear that the constitution will pave the way to Islamic rule in Egypt.

THE conversation of a penalty try three minutes from time denied Exeter their first Premiership victory over west country rivals Bath in front of a sell-out crowd of 10,744 at Sandy Park.
Both sides went into the game on the back of defeats with Exeter seeing their run of seven victories halted by a 18-16 defeat at Gloucester while Bath were hammered 22-0 at home to Saracens.
Tom Hayes returned to the second row to lead the Chiefs while Phil Dollman came in at outside centre so James Hanks and Ian Whitten dropped to the bench where they were joined by the return of England international Tom Johnson.
Full back Ollie Devoto made his first Premiership start for Bath while inside centre Matt Banahan, locks Dave Attwood and Ryan Caldwell and number eight Ben Skirving all returned to action for the visitors.
The Chiefs applied the early pressure but conceded silly penalties and when close to the posts they had the ball turned over. Then with 12 minutes on the clock fly-half Gareth Steenson, with the wind at his back, landed the opening penalty.
But the visitors hit back immediately with a try started and finished by scrum half Michael Claassens in the left corner with great support play from wing Tom Biggs and fly-half Steven Donald. Claassens was unable to convert from touchline.
Exeter wasted a try scoring opportunity when full back Luke Arscott made the break through the middle and, with scrum half Hayden Thomas on his right in space, he passed to lock Aly Muldowney who was quickly brought to ground.
The home side were able to create breaks from deep in their own half but unforced errors or penalties were again the Chiefs downfall when they ventured into the Bath 22 allowing the visitors to keep their line intact.
Then, with time already up on the clock, Bath wing Horacio Agulla was penalised for coming in at the side of the ruck and Steenson stepped-up to land his second kick of the game and nudge the Chiefs into a 6-5 half-time lead.
Steenson increased the lead minutes after the restart when Bath repeated the previous offence just before the break but this time Skirving was the culprit. The penalty from the former Ireland U21 took him past 1,000 points since his Exeter debut in 2008.
The Chiefs were certainly an improved side in the second half at the scrum and the lineout as well as limiting their errors. Bath strayed offside when inside their own 22 and Steenson kept a clean sheet with his fourth penalty kick.
Exeter again showed that they too can defend their own line and with the game going into the final 10 minutes the Chiefs again camped out inside the Bath 22. But when they turned a Bath scrum the home side were penalised for standing up.
Bath won a penalty inside the Exeter 22 and opt to kick for the corner and then the Chiefs were penalised at the ruck. Bath repeated the move and referee David Rose awarded a penalty try. Tom Heathcote added the extras to level the score.

thrombosis, P2Y12 receptor, ticagrelor, myocardial tissue perfusion, myocardial contrast echocardiography
Reperfusion therapy for myocardial infarction is limited by significant re-occlusion rates and less-than-optimal myocardial tissue perfusion. It was the objective of this study to assess and compare the effect of ticagrelor, the first reversibly binding oral P2Y12 receptor antagonist, with that of clopidogrel, in conjunction with thrombolytic therapy, on platelet aggregation, thrombus formation, and myocardial perfusion in a canine model. Thrombus formation was induced by electrolytic injury and blood flow was measured with a Doppler ultrasonic flowmeter. All animals received tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) (1 mg/kg over 20 min); 10 animals received clopidogrel (10 mg/kg IV bolus over 5 min), 10 animals received ticagrelor initiated with a 1-min bolus (75 μg/kg/min), followed by continuous infusion (10 μg/kg/min) for 2 h, and 10 animals received IV saline. Re-occlusion rate and cyclic flow variation decreased with ticagrelor compared to saline groups (p<0.05). Adenosine phosphate (ADP)-induced platelet aggregation decreased with ticagrelor (1.9% ± 2.67) and clopidogrel (1.11% ± 2.0) vs. saline (26.3% ± 23.5, p<0.05) at the end of adjunctive therapy. Bleeding time increased in the clopidogrel compared to the ticagrelor group (p=0.01). Infarct size was reduced with ticagrelor compared to the clopidogrel and saline groups (p<0.05). Blood flow remained significantly below baseline values at 20 min after tPA administration in the saline and clopidogrel groups but not in the ticagrelor group. In conclusion, in a dog coronary thrombosis model, ticagrelor blocks ADP-induced platelet activation and aggregation; prevents platelet-mediated thrombosis; prolongs reperfusion time and reduces re-occlusion and cyclic flow variation; and significantly decreases infarct size and rapidly restores myocardial tissue perfusion.

OEA Members Call for Moratorium on New High-Stakes Tests
Interested in options for opting out of standardized testing? Go here for more information or here to download an FAQ on legal options for public school educators.
At the 2014 OEA Representative Assembly (OEA-RA), members of the Oregon Education Association (OEA) took a strong stand on behalf of their students and against the overuse of new high-stakes, standardized tests. The OEA-RA is the largest deliberative body of professional educators in Oregon, averaging more than 600 member-delegates each year. Every year, delegates, who are elected by members across the state, debate and decide upon policy that guides the organization.
At the OEA-RA, educators demanded a moratorium on the Smarter Balanced Assessment, the state's new high-stakes test. Educators want to ensure that the new state assessment accurately measures student learning and that appropriate modifications be made prior to rolling out any new assessments in Oregon classrooms.
OEA members also approved items to:
- Work with parents and education stakeholders to determine appropriate use of and options for assessment
- Publicly invite Oregon legislators and every elected and appointed education public official to take the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium test,
- Call for congressional hearings on the misuse and abuse of standardized testing,
- Ask that testing programs originate from or be approved by licensed educators instead of from the for-profit testing industry.
Go here to read the press release about the RA's actions around high-stakes testing.

Have you read: A new look at history of Indians in '1491'
May 7, 2007
"1491" by Charles C. Mann
One of the basic premises Charles C. Mann develops in his book "1491" is that the indigenous peoples who inhabited all of the Americas arrived earlier and were much more populous than previously thought.
Mann believes, and presents evidence and scientific opinion, pro and con, that the native peoples most European colonists encountered in North America were already the remnants of greater civilizations, refugees, in effect, of cities that had been decimated by disease introduced by Europeans by as much as 95 percent.
"That's one reason whites think of Indians as nomadic hunters," one anthropologist says, "Everything else – all the populated urbanized societies – was wiped out."
For example, in 1539, when De Soto marched through the American South East, he recorded the area "Thickly set with great towns, two or three of them to be seen from one," each protected by earthen walls, moats, and archers. In 1682, when LaSalle went through this very same area, it was deserted, not a town to be seen for 200 miles.
Mann says most historians and anthropologists believe the culprit was disease carried not so much by the men, but by the 300 pigs traveling with De Soto. In all of the Americas, he says, much less animal domestication went on than in Europe, so Indians never developed resistance to animals' many diseases which mutate and infect people. In addition, Mann relates a genetic susceptibility that inhibits the immune response, which proved deadly to their civilization because of their genetic homogeneity.
Recommended Stories For You
This genetic sameness is explained by theories of how Proto-Indians came to the Americas, an area of huge contemporary controversy. It used to be thought a group came to the Americas from Asia over the Bering Strait when the Ice Age had caught up a lot of water into snow and ice – a temperate land bridge arose over which people could walk into a new land, about 10,000 to 14,000 years ago. But not for long: The Ice Age started to subside about 15,000 years ago when the glaciers started to melt, and sea levels rose and subsumed the land bridge.
However, Mann details ways in which this date has been pushed back much, much further. Some studies based on mitochondrial DNA evidence push the date back to 43,000 years ago, before the Ice Age was even a factor. Another study from southern Chile shows evidence of human habitation from 32,000 years ago. Keep in mind that Chile is 10,000 miles from the Bering Strait – walking that far takes a long time.
In 1491 Charles Mann develops many more fascinating concepts in an accessible, readable style, presenting many sides (with over 100 pages of notes in the back). In fact, what he has to say alone about Indians manipulating their environment is worth the price of this volume. I can't recommend this book enough.

Dell UltraSharp 1905FP: Setting the Bar for New 19" LCDsby Kristopher Kubicki on 1/29/2005 12:35 AM EST

UncleMike987 - Wednesday, May 11, 2005 - linkA really great monitor, a fantastic display, which surprisingly had no ghosting in games when using the DVI connection.
But when I plugged this into a VGA connection on a Radeon 9000 AGP card, and the image was pretty dire. Several vertical bands, each of which blurred an entire column of the display. Okay, it could've been the video card, but it looked fine on a CRT monitor. You've been warned !
The worst thing about this monitor is the price.
Dell's pricing policy in the UK is madness.
One of my work colleagues bought this monitor recently, and was charged £299+vat+delivery.
Two weeks later, the same monitor from the same Dell website cost £243 INCLUSIVE of VAT and delivery, so I bought one for work and one for home. And love it.
And now, two weeks later, Dell's website is back selling it at £354 inc.
Seriously, how can you recommend a product whose price is springing around so much ?
At £243 inc for a quality brand 19" DVI monitor, it's a steal. Buy one now. But don't pay much more than this. With Dell's never-ending and never-static list of special offers and "Must end in 2 days"-style discounts, it's worth holding on for a week or two to save yourself a lot of money.
Btw, speakers aren't included - but you can buy a matching Dell Soundbar thing to clip on the bottom of the display for £30+vat. Dell's website gives no indication of how powerful these speakers are, so it's hard to know if to recommend them.

chrisjs - Sunday, April 24, 2005 - linkI am fairly sure that the 1905fp DOES NOT SUPPORT HDCP.
I just had my local friendly cable co install a SA 4200HD and, when I connect it to my 1905fp the LCD simply displays "cannot display this video mode"
I hoped it just needed to be configured, but the message continued when I went into to box's automagcic HDTV configuration screen. So I'm pretty sure now this LCD doesn't support DVI/HDCP, only normal DVI. Reply
Visor4 - Tuesday, April 12, 2005 - linkHi abbetaka,
I hooked up my Denon DVD-1910 to the monitor using Dell's DVI cable. The video kept switching on and off. I'm assuming this is because Dell uses an 18-pin DVI cable, whereas the DVD player requires a 24-pin cable. When the video was visible, picture quality was excellent (the same as playing a PC DVD player like WinDVD, although my Denon has better deinterlacing). Unfortunately, the red drift artifacts were still visible.
I just received an exchange unit, and much to my dismay it has the same defect. I think it's time to call Dell again, return both these units, and pick up a 2001FP before they disappear.

abbetaka - Thursday, April 07, 2005 - linkThe article states, "According to the technical documentation, the Genesis gm5321 is HDCP capable – so you should be able to hook up a DVI-HDCP receiver or DVD player to the monitor without worries."
... Has anyone confirmed that HDCP does work on this? I took the link to the gm5321 document, and it says...
Ultra-Reliable DVI[tm] Input (gm5321)
* Operating up to 165 MHz (up to UXGA 60Hz)
* Direct connect to all DVI-compliant digital transmitters
* High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)
Note: HDCP function is available in gm5221H version only.
... That's the only mention of gm5221 in the whole doc though. Does it mean the gm5321 doesn't do HDCP at all? Or just that gm5221s other than the -h don't? Or.. ..? I'm not sure how to interpret it.
I'm considering getting a DVI outputting DVD player but I don't have a TV and would rather not go to the trouble if this LCD won't do HDCP.
Anybody? Bueller?
Thx... Reply
Visor4 - Tuesday, April 05, 2005 - linkThis artifact definately shows up in other movies and media. It's hard not to miss.
I suspect that I have a defective monitor, and even Anandtech's review clearly shows this bleeding effect on the Matrix screenshot:
Look at Keanu's right inner ear (well, the left inner ear from our point of view) and the right (left) part of his upper lip. Notice how there's a very strong hue of red on those parts? That's an example of what I see, but mine is more exaggerated when people and objects are moving.
Does anybody else see this artifact when watching movies? I have Dell sending me another 1905FP as an exchange so I'll verify if the entire line has this problem. If so, I think I might pick up a 2001FP while they're still available and see how an IPS panel performs compared to this VA panel.

Visor4 - Sunday, April 03, 2005 - linkHi Kristopher,
Could you please explain what "red shift" means? I just received a 1905FP, and while I was watching a Sex and the City episode I noticed a red drift/shift type of artifact. It was as if the red colour was lagging behind everything else. It was easiest to see under their noses, like they were all getting nosebleeds. Other than that, I haven't really seen this "drift" in other media. I'll keep watching and let everyone know.

goldsheet - Saturday, April 02, 2005 - linkRecently bought one for $317 (after 40% off coupon) and am quite satisfied for business applications. Video and gaming not a priority for me. Reply
falcc - Monday, March 14, 2005 - linkI just recieved mine as well. It was 20% off so it was a fantastic price when you compare it to the Samsung. Movies aren't great on it but I'm quite happy with the quality in games. I've come from a CRT and this is my first LCD. When I first played HL2 on it I wasn't overly pleased but after adjusting the brightness etc. it is now great. Reply
tscholz - Thursday, March 03, 2005 - linkJust bought this monitor, everything looks perfect. There is very little ghosting, and the contrast is very good. Like #54, video is very blocky when playing DivX/XviD/whatever. But I think this because of the lack of blooming in LCD screens, artifacts of movies are more visible. Can't see any other way a monitor can affect video playback.
The reason i bought it, was in part bacause of this article, and that is uses the same panel as the Samsung 139P. But while being as good as the Samsung 139P, it costs less. Reply
Golfxcellence - Friday, February 25, 2005 - linkI bought this monitor based on the review. This is my first LCD. My photos look wonderful, text is very readable, but any sort of mpg video is very very poor compared to my crt. Is this normal? if it is, it may have to go back.
Thanks for any comments or suggestions to fixing the problem.

This monitor has serious ghosting issues.
Get something else instead.
Even the cursor blurs. I bought one based on this review - BIG MISTAKE.
Even my mates 25ms monitor has less ghosting than this.
It does look good, but its deceptive.

Dam straight you are thinking along the exact same lines as me!
Well common Samsung/Sony/Viewsonic/Benq/Dell give us what we want! We will even pay you for your bother ;-p Reply
rivethead - Tuesday, February 01, 2005 - linkGood luck in your search for information on the UltraSharp 1704FPV.
I've tried to get information from every source I can think of (I even tried re-sellers on e-bay).
I've come to the following conclusion:
1) No one at Dell knows if their LCDs are 6 or 8-bit.(at least the CSRs and Tech Support people who I've talked to)
2) If it's this hard to get a simple question answered, I'm not sure I want to buy any Dell product.
I know that Dell makes a 17" LCD they call the "173". I'm betting it's the same panel that's in the Samsung 173. So after reading this review, now I'm wondering what panel is in the 1704FPV and 1704FPT? Another Samsung product? Which panel?
Arrrgh! It shouldn't be this difficult. All I want is a 17" 8-bit panel from a good manufacturer with a response time of 16ms or less.
I will say this: having these Anandtech reviews certainly is a help. Thanks! Reply

blckgrffn - Monday, January 31, 2005 - linkHave you guys looked at newegg? There are a ton of 19" LCD's under 350 - I just picked up one with DVI and 21ms response time 600:1 contrast for $320 - no rebates or anything. I have never heard of CVM, but the monitor looks very nice, IMHO.

rivethead - Sunday, January 30, 2005 - linkDoes anyone know if the Dell UltraSharp 1705FPT is also a Samsung panel and/or an 8-bit panel?
I've asked the folks at Dell this 6 times over the past two weeks. They have no idea. It's been a very frustrating experience for me. Maybe I'm asking the question wrong, but you would think "Is the Dell UltraSharp 1705FPT an 8-bit or 6-bit panel?" is pretty clear enough.
Supposedly it's a 13ms response time monitor, so I'm betting it's 6-bit. I just can't seem to find a 17" 8-bit panel with a response time less than 25ms.....
Sorry if you've already read this question on the "General Hardware" forum. Reply

Nessism - Sunday, January 30, 2005 - linkThe comments below were stolen from another Anandtech member Sharkeeper :)
I find a good test is go here.
Accept any security messages you get. When the applet loads, maximise the window. It should look like this. Use your mouse to move the position of the globe. All those white pixels are indicating where satellites are in real time. If you orient the orbit lines parallel to the Y axis (up and down) and drag the mouse around you will perform a very good test on pixel update rate. Slower monitors will cause the satellites to disappear in the background as the scene is moved. Faster monitors will show them available at all times.
Nessism comments:
When moving the satellites on my 1905, they change from being a dot to being a small moving line (ghosting image of the dot). I'm not trying to bash this monitor, after all I do own one, just want to make people understand that there are limitations.
Good test. Reply
Nessism - Sunday, January 30, 2005 - linkI have a 1905 and can assure everyone that it DOES ghost when moving quickly. As stated, everyone has a different sensitivity level...just don't expect this thing to perform like a CRT for fast motion because it does not. If you want a true gamming monitor, check out one of the fast TN monitors like the new Hyundai; they give up viewing angles and color but they are fast.
Fast with small viewing angles (TN) or slightly slower with better color and viewing angles (PVA). Take your pick, you can't have both. Reply
OvErHeAtInG - Sunday, January 30, 2005 - linkLooks like a great deal but I can relate: having a "dell" logo on something I own is just not kosher. :) Good thing I'm not in the market for an LCD.
My viewsonic vp181s has a usb hub, I didn't think it was that rare.
Call me bass ackwards, but I think 1280*1024 is just right for 19". Okay my panel is 18.1" but I would like to be able to sit a few inches father away and still read standard-sized text. On a notebook you're going to be sitting closer, so a little more resolution is okay, but those microscopic ones with 12" screens and huge resolutions are over the top. Most people I've seen turn the res down, which is a shame b/c then you're wasting the screen's potential.
Regarding the aspect issue, yes 1280*1024 is a little "squished," there's more vertical pixels. 1280*960 would be the "usual" 4:3 aspect ratio. To anyone thinking this is a drawback, honestly you don't notice that everything's a little shorter, I've been working at that res for some time. Reply
Gelisob - Sunday, January 30, 2005 - linkHello all,
Some words to all the crt-to-lcd gamers out there, buzzled with anandtech guys politicaly correct statements about gaming on it:D
I happen to have Samsung 193P, so it's pretty much the same panel and so on.
long story short:
1. If you play stuff like mmo's and rts games, you will have no problems, and all gain from picture quality + less strain on eyes (than crt)
2. If you play stuff like CSS, UT2k4, BF1942, you will have serious ghosting. Dunno how come they dont see or recognize it. So shooting stuff wile running AND turning, is not simple, you must stop moving to aim properly.
I offer very simple way to see it, for Anandtech guys too, just fire up bf1942 and move the view left/right fast, with mouse, edges of buildings and vehicles etc jump over the screen, not like OMG wtfbbq is that wall doing here, but its indeed "ghosting", it doesnt exacly get in a way but it disturb seeing clearly and fast, while moving whole picture.
ps. I cant figure out how to set backlight temperature on my 193p, there is no temperature option in the soft, brightness isnt temperature.. can anyone help me find it? thnx in advance Reply

MrEMan - Sunday, January 30, 2005 - linkAre there people here who actually believe Dell manufactures any components (monitors, drives, motherboards, video cards, etc) in their systems?
I would really be surprised if they actually do.
My guess is that the specify which OEM products they want, and then, have them tweaked to make them proprietary. Reply
avijay - Sunday, January 30, 2005 - linkGreat review!
#31, that lady might get a few extra bucks based on her ratings, and to be honest, those guys try to get as much info as possible, but it doesn't quite work out all the time. I should know, I used to work in a place like that.
BTW, any chance of reviewing the Sony SDM-P234/B 23". I've been trying to find a good review on that LCD for quite a while, but unable to do so. I'd really appreciate it if kristopher can review one and let everyone know the good and the bad about that monitor. Thanks. Reply
najames - Saturday, January 29, 2005 - linkI agree with TwistyKat. I have had enough Dell for a lifetime and I have never even technically ordered from them. I put in a Viewsonic monitor order 1/5 to ship on 1/28, the system was so screwed up my account had somebody elses name attached. After 10 emails, one long call to Mumbai, and another call where the guy basically just sat there didn't answer questions, and said nothing, then cut me off, I gave up and canceled my order on 1/26. They never did get the account fixed so the account linked with the order. It was always my responsibility to fix their problems, including filling out forms for the "webmaster", even though Dell reps could see it was hosed. When I called to cancel the US staff told me my VIEWSONIC monitor was in production at DELL (WTF?), requiring yet another call to Mumbai. The lady in Mumbai did tell me that she wanted me to give her a good rating on service, 1 being poor and 9 being excellent. Reply

MadAd - Saturday, January 29, 2005 - linkAs well as reviews of other popular models (like the 2005FPW, the HP L2335) are we going to one day get at least *one* set of reliable benchmarks at resolutions up and above 1600x1200 please please!!!!
Just a quick roundup of available dx9 cards with mid-high range amd/intel at resolutions up to 1920x1200 - is that too much to ask from your favourite hardware site? :)
Wide screen gaming seems to be taking off and Id really like to know what kind of performance im going to need to run at good frame rates if I do get say the dell, or the hp. Will my 9700pro cut it? Probably not but do I need as much as an xt850?

This sentence is confusing. I assume by transient time you mean response time, but I don't understand what the "transient time between two LCD monitors" means. Then you say the transient time is "impossible". Huh? What is impossible?
The whole sentence makes me want to cry. Reply
KristopherKubicki - Saturday, January 29, 2005 - linkIt is 5:4 not 4:3 - this has been updated.
Dell did not have any samples of the 2005FPW for us. I am guessing if they don't have samples for PR, they are probably changing something on the monitor.
Hope that helps,

drifter106 - Saturday, January 29, 2005 - linkI am somewhat puzzled by this statement...
We were not able to get a sample of the 2005FPW in time for this review
I am sitting here looking at one and I know they have been out for some time. I am disappointed that you would make a statement like that. Could a better choice of words been used to substantiate as to why you chose NOT to include the 2005? The last thing I would hope to hear from this site is something that makes me doubt your authenticity.

Spacecomber - Saturday, January 29, 2005 - linkLike #11, I too found the sentence he or she quoted ambiquous.
I'm glad to hear, as noted in the review, that there continue to be LCDs affordable monitors being produced that are closing the gap between a LCD that produces a full range of color and LCDs that are fast enough for gaming.
It will be intresting to see if Dell can do a good job of keeping up with the demand for this monitor and resist the temptation to raise the price as its popularity grows. Anandtech's reviews no doubt carry a fair amount of clout when it comes to influencing consumers. I'm sure many others also noticed how quickly the NuTech L921G sold out just about everywhere and how the Viewsonic Q190MB went from being a bargain priced monitor to a premium priced model.
My guess is that someone else is putting together the L921G for Nutech. It would be very interesting to know who this and who else they are providing monitors to. Reply
jb1677 - Saturday, January 29, 2005 - link#13 Are the actualy dimensions for the panel itself documented anywhere? I have scoured the net but cant find them, just dimensions of the entire monitor. Reply
REMF - Saturday, January 29, 2005 - linkthe review is 'specifically' wrong on this fact, i bought one for the parents, great monitor, but it is indeed 5:4
jb1677 - Saturday, January 29, 2005 - link#8 The review specifically states that the panel is 4:3:
"the UltraSharp 1905FP screen can pivot 90 degrees on its side to convert the 19" 4:3 aspect ratio into a 3:4 ratio instead"
So its 4:3 with a non 4:3 native resolution?%!@?# Why do makers do this! Is there any maker that does not do this in a 19"? It seems that if you want a panel whos native resolution is the same ratio as its physical dimentions then you need to get a 15, 17 or 20, no 19's!
MAME - Saturday, January 29, 2005 - link"Fast motion was on par with what we expected for this game; we certainly didn't notice any motion blur, but if the Dell 1905FP is your first LCD, then you will notice a difference immediately."
What do you mean by "ifference"? Not as good as a CRT? Reply
plewis00 - Saturday, January 29, 2005 - link#6 is right, 1400 x 1050 or above would be about right for a 19" panel, even 1600 x 1200, especially as we are seeing laptops with that kind of resolution, plus its the correct 4:3 aspect.
I'm surprised about the USB hub comment, I had an AOC LM919 about 2 years ago and that had a 4-port hub on it and I'm sure I've seen NECs with them too. Reply

jb1677 - Saturday, January 29, 2005 - linkCorrect me if I am wrong but the physical screen dimentions are 4:3 but the resolution is 1280x1024 which is not a 4:3 resolution. Will this not cause things to be displayed slightly "off"? A correct resolution would be 1280x960 or 1400x1050 etc etc. Reply
Burbot - Saturday, January 29, 2005 - linkAm I the only insane person that considers 1400x1050 to be *the* right resolution for 19" LCDs? 17" is fine at 12x10. 21" is fine at 16x12. Can somebody get the pattern? Reply

rufwork - Tuesday, October 21, 2014 - link"We noticed poorer than typical results when using the analog 15-pin D-sub connector with extremely bad streaking/interference errors. There isn't a large reason to use analog in our opinion, so this is not a huge issue in the long run. The DVI signal quality was superb, as expected on a digital connection."
I'm stuck with this thing at work, nearly literally salvaged from the scrap heap to hook up to my hand-me-down laptop that sports a VGA out and a really poor 1366x768 resolution that makes the Ancient One an improvement.
Hilarious reading through the gushing for what must have been a very solid square (!!) monitor -- over nine years ago -- and to see that Anandtech figured nobody'd see the limitations of analog use "in the long run", just like I'm using it now in 2014. Maybe I'll watch the Matrix too for old time's sake^H^H^H to push the 1905FP to its limits. ;^) Reply

"I am France," General Charles de Gaulle announced when he formed the Free French in 1941. It was no idle boast. Following France's rapid capitulation to Nazi forces, de Gaulle alone stood for a France undefeated and still fighting. Through sheer force of will, he made himself heard, rescuing French dignity and insuring that at the end of World War II France would be among the victorious armies, her status as a world power recognized. It was an immense achievement, one that only a man of de Gaulle's raw nerve, stubbornness, arrogance, and messianic conviction could have accomplished. Though he had virtually no resources and commanded only a few thousand men, he insisted that Britain and America treat France as an equal. His relationship with Churchill was stormy in the extreme but based on a strong mutual admiration; with Roosevelt his relationship was icy. Nonetheless he achieved his goal: France took her place among the Big Five nations in the postwar world. The man who had been sentenced to death as a traitor by the Vichy government returned to France in 1944 a hero and a legend, soon to be elected president. In 1946 de Gaulle shocked the world by resigning. When he stepped back into the political arena twelve years later, it was to once again save a France in crisis. With the adroit maneuvering of a political mastermind he extricated France from Algeria and pulled the country back from the brink of civil war. He barely escaped with his life, surviving numerous assassination attempts by French-Algerians angered by his apparent betrayal. De Gaulle's second presidency lasted ten years until 1968, when student-led revolts toppled his government, but his extraordinary legacy endured in France's most effective constitution since the Revolution, and in international prestige that would have been unthinkable in the previous decade. Charles de Gaulle died in November 1970, a few days before his eightieth birthday. He was a product of northern French provincial society of the nineteenth century - austere, Catholic, and nationalist - truly the "last great Frenchman." In this fully rounded portrait of one of the twentieth century's most outstanding statesmen, Charles Williams interprets the facts and the motive of his subject with the insights of the distinguished politician he is himself.

A POLICE search for a missing man thought to be in Weymouth has now moved further west after a possible sighting.
There are concerns for Hampshire man Ashley Bessant who went missing after he failed to turn up for work and has not been seen since yesterday morning.
Ashley comes from Dibden Purlieu, a community on the edge of the New Forest.
The 28-year-old, who lives with his parents, has not been seen since he left for work and police say they are concerned for his welfare.
The welder, who works locally, never arrived for work and his anxious family have joined in the search for him.
Information suggested that the Saints season ticket holder may be in the Dorset and Weymouth areas and Dorset Police are helping with efforts to locate Ashley. Latest information is that he could be heading to Newquay in Cornwall and there has been a possible sighting in Devon.
He could be driving a black Ford Fiesta.
Police are appealing for anyone with information to get in contact.
They are conducting inquiries and officers in Dorset are conducting a physical search.
Ashley's brother and father are joining in the physical search in Dorset.
Ashley is described as white, of medium to slim build, 5ft 11in tall with brown eyes and dark brown cropped hair.
The last time he was seen he was wearing black tracksuit bottoms with a white trim and a red Austrian football shirt with a zip up grey top.
Sgt Chris Taylor of Hythe Police Station, said: "We're concerned for Ashley's welfare.
"This is out of character and his family are also very worried.
"He's done nothing wrong and just needs to contact Hampshire or Dorset Police on 101 and let us know he is okay."
Anyone with information can call Sgt Taylor on 101.

Individual attention is given to each student's area of difficulty.
These classes are for those who grew up speaking English but want to improve and refine their English. Designed to give you the critical edge in English communication, they target grammar, spelling, and pronunciation.
Designed for children aged 6 – 11, our "Little Lingual" classes meet once a week during the afternoon for one hour. Class content includes Alphabet, Songs, Games, Practical Words and Phrases, and Basic Dialogue. Children aged 12 and above can join our regularly scheduled adult classes.
These exciting classes are geared to get an early start on language learning while helping children enjoy and appreciate a different culture. This is the best time for them to learn a foreign language. The younger the learner, the better they are at mimicking new sounds and adopting pronunciation. The brain is open to new sounds and patterns in preadolescence.
At this age, young children have time to learn through play-like activities. Language lessons can be informal and children's minds are not yet cluttered with facts to be stored and tested. Before children become self-conscious, they can try out their newly acquired languages without fear of embarrassment.
Children who grow up learning about languages develop empathy for others and a curiosity for different cultures and ideas, and are better prepared to take their place in a global society. Furthermore, in later years, career opportunities increase for those with additional languages to offer.
Studies by Harvard University confirm that learning additional languages increases critical thinking skills, creativity and flexibility of the mind in young children. Moreover, pupils who learn a foreign language outscore their non-foreign-language-learning peers in standardized verbal and math tests, indicating that learning additional language is a cognitive - and not just linguistic - activity. The brain, like any muscle, functions better with exercise. Learning a language involves memorizing rules and vocabulary, which helps strengthen that mental muscle.

Global stock markets rose on Tuesday as US stocks were boosted by news of yet another possible merger that suggested there is still room to the upside, while a pick-up in German economic sentiment supported European stocks.
The S&P 500, hovering near a five-year high, extended its seven-week winning streak. The benchmark index is already up 7 per cent for the year.
Office Depot Inc, the No. 2 US office supply retailer, and smaller rival OfficeMax Inc are said to be in advanced talks to merge.
The deal would be the latest addition to more than $US158 billion in US deals announced thus far in 2013. Last week, deals were reached for the acquisition of H.J. Heinz Co by Berkshire Hathaway and the sale by General Electric of its remaining stake in NBCUniversal to Comcast Corp.
In Europe, stocks posted their best finish in three weeks as stronger-than-expected German sentiment data prompted investors to return to economically sensitive sectors like autos and technology after a three-session losing streak. Optimism that the worst of the euro zone debt crisis is over has helped German investor and analyst sentiment soar to its highest level in nearly three years this month.
In the currency market, the yen climbed after two days of losses after Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso said he was not considering foreign bond purchases. Further boosting the US market, Google shares rose more than 1 per cent to an all-time high of $US804.00.
Office Depot shares surged 9 per cent to $US4.99 and OfficeMax shares jumped 20 per cent to $US12.92. Shares of larger rival Staples Inc also shot up 10 per cent to $US14.19.
"Equity investors have to be encouraged by M&A, since if the number crunchers are offering large premiums, that shows how much value is still in the market," said Mike Gibbs, co-head of the equity advisory group at Raymond James in Memphis, Tennessee.
MSCI's world equity index was up 0.7 per cent, though markets have been falling for two weeks since a big run-up in January.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 45.69 points, or 0.33 per cent, at 14,027.45. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was up 8.03 points, or 0.53 per cent, at 1,527.82. The Nasdaq Composite Index was up 12.18 points, or 0.38 per cent, at 3,204.21. The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index provisionally closed up 1.1 per cent at 1,171.73 - more than recovering the previous three sessions' losses.
Yen gains
The yen rose after Japan's Aso said he was not considering buying foreign bonds as part of efforts to ease monetary policy, a day after Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said this was an option.
That highlighted the open disagreement between the two Japanese officials, which has somewhat muddled the outlook for the country's monetary policy and created two-way risk for dollar/yen trades.
Markets still expect Japan to ease policy aggressively -- a negative for the yen -- but the approach is less clear-cut, which could slow the currency's fall.
In addition, although Japan was not singled out at this weekend's Group of 20 meeting for monetary and fiscal measures that have resulted in yen weakness, Choi Hee Nam, director-general at South Korea's finance ministry, said Japan's policies were not endorsed by the group and did spark controversy, according to a report from Bloomberg News.
"Developments in the past few days highlight the fact that there are internal rifts on the policy approach and there may be external constraints on what sort of easing measures Japan's partners will deem acceptable," said Shaun Osborne, chief currency strategist at TD Securities in Toronto.
He added that near-term downside risks loom large for the dollar against the yen.
In midday New York trading, the dollar fell 0.5 per cent to 93.55 yen, well below a peak of 94.22 yen hit on Monday after Japan escaped direct criticism from its G20 peers at the weekend. However, it remained above chart support at 93.38 yen, the 200-hour moving average.
With the dollar having risen about 20 per cent since mid-November, investors have hesitated to re-test last week's 33-month high of 94.47 yen, when it failed to breach a reported options barrier at 94.50.
Some strategists said the yen's fall could also slow as investors become wary of betting on further yen weakness until there is more clarity on who will become the next Bank of Japan governor.
Tokyo has delayed nominating a new governor for its central bank by a week, fanning talk of friction between the prime minister and the finance minister on the issue. The euro was down 0.2 per cent against the yen at 125.21 yen .
Against the dollar, the euro recovered by midday to hit the day's high of $US1.3394. It was last at $US1.3387, up 0.3 per cent in mostly choppy trading. US Treasury debt was little changed. The benchmark 10-year US Treasury note was yielding 2.0034 per cent.
Brent crude oil fell for a third session in a row on signs of lackluster European growth and easing geopolitical tensions.
Brent crude for April delivery was down 38 cents at $US117 per barrel, while US crude for March added 8 cents to $US95.94 a barrel.

Tools. Craftsmen love their tools. Without a proper set of tools, their jobs would take much longer, and probably would not be done as well. If you were to speak to someone who works with tools, they would tell you that they have favorite tools among their collection. You will hear a story about how they will use these favorite tools constantly, and utilize the rest only when necessary. The craftsman will covet and care for these tools, as old favorites just cannot be replaced with new ones and have the same feel in their hands.
When better tools do come about, the craftsman may give them a try. It may take a while, but the new tool probably will work just as well, and probably better than the old favorite. Suddenly, the craftsman has a new favorite tool, and has found that it saves time and produces solid work.
I spent many years working with hand tools as a jeweler. I have a set of favorite tools that are on the front of my bench. I have new ones that I bought along the way to replace the favorites, but they remain in the cupboard waiting for me to pick them up. One pair of pliers had been in my hands for over 30 years, the "needle nose" is long gone, ground down so many times to keep them sharp. One day I just could not get the tip into the spot I needed to get the work done. Out came the new ones and the job got done, quickly and cleanly. Out went the old ones.
My full time days as a jeweler have been replaced with digital media production and teaching the techniques. I have been having fun producing and teaching the skills to build websites, videos, digital graphics, etc. for over 12 years now. I have favorite tools and technologies for doing my work here as well (Ok, mostly Adobe's toolset!). I have seen tools and technologies come and go during this time. Some of them I was very happy to watch disappear (Director), some I miss.
This industry is always changing. Learning never stops. There is always a new technology or "digital trinket" coming out that needs special treatment from us to work. Right now, our industry has been turned on its ear with so many new and evolving technologies that are coming out much faster than ever before. Technologies are here and in the hands of consumers that our current tool sets do not provide what we need to get our work done in a timely fashion. All of a sudden, I don't have a tool (let alone a favorite tool) for some of the jobs I need to get done.
I am always studying to keep abreast of what set of tools are available so I can work efficiently and keep my students on the cutting edge. Adobe is providing its users with toolsets that are moving forward at almost as fast a pace as the technologies. The new set of Edge tools and services are indicative of the company's hard work to provide the cutting edge tools necessary for today's HTML 5, CSS3, and JavaScript environments.
I teach in a community college's Computer Information Systems department. Besides Microsoft Office, our classes include web design/development and the study of computer applications. The Adobe applications our department focuses on are Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere, and Flash (gone are Flex and Flash Catalyst). Right now, we are in a broil over how to proceed with our department and college web developer/designer certificates. It may take a student 3 (now with budget cuts maybe 4) years to get through the certificate program. Technologies are changing too fast to keep the certificates stable for that amount of time. If we do not change them, we risk becoming stale and out of date, providing an education that will not be what employers are looking for when the students graduate.
Our certificates dictate certain Adobe application classes are required be taken, with others as electives. When the landscape of application/technology choices change so fast, the certificates become out dated in months, not years. With the "death" of Flash as a web technology, Flex and Flash Catalyst were "killed" too. Flash I is still a requirement for our certificates, Flash II is an elective. Flex and Flash Catalyst are also electives. Our certificates are becoming "littered" with technologies that are not pertinent, and missing the ones that have become so.
The Flash platform technologies will not provide the job skills necessary for our students studying web technologies when they graduate. It is very difficult to ever know, in our field, what will be the job skills in 4 or 5 years, but we have to try to provide what we know right now to the best of our abilities. As of today, this is HTML 5, CSS3, and JavaScript. The release of Adobe Edge Animate this past week, with the offer of using Animate free for one year, should help to make the transition from Flash animation to HTML 5 animation a bit easier. The willingness of the instructors and curriculum committees to let go of their favorite old technologies and learn the new ones fast enough to keep moving forward is a key factor.
Schools and technology departments must make an effort to plan the new methodology for teaching the new workflows at a speed equaling the various technologies release, a plan to embrace the tools that will provide the modern skillsets for our students. The college's ability to provide pertinent certificates will require some study and discussion to come up with an answer that will allow the fast pace of change.
Loving our tools means we love to work. Sometimes, even when it is so difficult, we must leave the tools we love and embrace the new ones. A modern web requires modern tools.

Maybe you can do the same... return and get a correct one! I had an Acer Aspire One 110 that is 1024x600... and there is an HUGE difference for the 1280x720!!

Eh, it's still usable. I'll be using it for quick LaTeX jobs on my presentations (in Emacs), which will be compiled to PDFs and for showing these presentations using the Adobe reader. It'll do
Still, thanks again, I'm a bit ashamed to say this but I wasted at least 3 hours downloading and compiling different driver versions...
I tried the to remove the watermark, but I ended up bricking my Ubuntu install. If I try a regular boot, all I get now is a terminal. Reduced graphics mode works fine. Much help would be appreciated.

yes, thank you so much for posting the fix about freezing after log in, have been worrying about it since I installed natty on my lenovo G475 a few days ago. now the only thing that isnt working is the internal microphone, as the headphones works just fine. also why is that on emphaty the video call and the audio call options are not accessible? I installed cheese and the built in camera works. also, about the power management that you posted, would it work on G475? as ive noticed, I have less battery power on natty compared to as Im on Win 7, yes I'm on dual boot....once again thank you very much....
After one of these procedures, you should have open source driver active again.
I'm planning to make a new thread for 11.10. But, right now, after update from 11.04 to 11.10, I'm still trying to make my wireless to work. My 722 has Broadcom 4313 chip, and I didn't manage to make it work nor with OSS, nor with proprietary drivers (I was using OSS drivers in 11.04). Ahyone had success with this?
EDIT: Success! I just don't know what of several things I tried enabled it...
Last edited by zzarko; October 16th, 2011 at 06:39 PM.
Hey zzarko and others,
You guys saved my day - and AO722. Many thanks.
However, I still can't figure out how to remove the watermark without bricking the graphics again. I ran the script that was found earlier in this thread. :\
Just my 2¢... I have experimented with 11.04 (Mint 11) but 10.10 (Mint 10) is really a better choice for this laptop, at least if you want the Catalyst driver. Also, you will need the proprietary wi-fi driver. But you get a better battery life. Also, suspend and resume WORK out of the box with Catalyst driver (but not with the open driver)!!! There is a watermark with the proposed one, but it's easy to install the latest version instead.

THE next generation of marmalade lovers wowed with their unusual creations at the ninth World's Original Marmalade Awards and Festival.
Beer, honey, chocolate, yellow mustard seed and even seaweed all featured in the 2,000 jars of marmalade entered into the annual event at Dalemain Mansion, near Penrith, over the weekend.
But the top spot, for best homemade marmalade, was awarded to 70-year-old Sarah Byrne, who used beer from her small family brewery in her 'Seville Orange Marmalade with Beer' concoction.
To create the winning product, which will now be stocked on the shelves of Fortnum and Mason in Piccadilly, she added two pints of Larkins Half and Half to her grandmother's traditional recipe.
Mrs Byrne, from Chiddingstone, Kent, said: "I'm delighted to have won this award, particularly as this is the first time I've made marmalade with beer. It's also a fantastic link to our family heritage."
Three artisan producers were awarded double gold gongs and will also see their winning recipes stocked in the prestigious London store.
These included Mark and Alison Pennington's 'Yorkshire Wold Bees Lemon and Honey Marmalade', and two from the Bokumjari Co. Ltd in South Korea.
Other interesting flavours which took gold at the awards included lemon and vodka, blood orange and black pepper, ginger chilli and Indian spice and clementine and lavender.
Organiser Jane Hasell-McCosh said: "We've been surprised and delighted not only by the sheer number of entries into this year's competition – which exceeds last year – but also by the range of interesting and sometimes downright unusual ingredients that you wouldn't normally associate with marmalade.
"I believe this reflects the resurgence in popularity in marmalade designed to satisfy modern taste buds. Whilst everyone appreciates a good, traditional Seville orange marmalade, our broadening food repertoire is leading us to create a plethora of new marmalade flavours for future generations to enjoy. Long live marmalade in whatever form!"
As well as seeing an increase in unusual ingredients, the 2014 awards also witnessed a big leap in novice and children's entries, and saw jars delivered from as far afield as Australia, the Phillipines, South Africa, Japan and South Korea.

IF Taunton businesses want Christmas to happen this year, they'll have to help raise £25,000 before October.
Kelly Durdan, who has rescued the county town's festive season for the past two years, is working hard with Tracy Kearley, from uandi design and Sally Jones, to Make Taunton Sparkle again.
She is calling on traders to respond to her appeal to pay towards Christmas lights in the town centre to enable a crowd-drawing switch-on day to go ahead.
To kickstart the appeal, Kelly, a district councillor, has 'press ganged' her dad, Deane Mayor Dave Durdan, to dip into his pocket to fund a 'Grow a Pound' challenge.
Dave is supplying participating shops with a £1 loan and asking them to make as much money from it as possible.
"I'm hoping it will lead to a bit of fun and friendly competition among businesses," said Kelly.
"It would be great if they could grow the £1 with something they don't normally sell.
"They can add to the £1 themselves, although there's a £10 cap."
All profits will go to Make Taunton Sparkle, which raised enough money in 2012 and 2013 to fund street decorations after the now defunct Taunton Town Centre Company was unable to afford them.
Kelly is also running a sponsor a light bulb scheme – if she attracts enough cash, the town will be lit up by 56,700 LED bulbs costing 25p each – while firms are free to donate money to the kitty.
She added: "I can't do this on my own without the help of businesses in the town.
"If we don't have any Christmas lights, then people won't come to the town at what should be the busiest period of the year."
Anyone with any ideas on raising funds for the lights or who wishes to donate sponsorship should contact Kelly Durdan on 07789-871856 or e-mail email@example.com A Taunton Deane Council spokeswoman said the authority was working with Kelly.
She added: "We will work positively in support of her approach to enable the event to occur.
"If we receive a specific application for funding to support the event we will of course carefully consider any such request when it is received.
"The council is looking forward to another successful Christmas season in Taunton and will work hard with the Sparkle organisers to ensure the festive season goes with a swing."
The authority is also working with not-for-profit organisation Time 4 on entertainment on the proposed switch on day, November 23.

• metaphor •
Pronunciation: med-ê-fêr • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: 1. A figure of speech in which a word is used for only part of its meaning, as mountain in a mountain of work refers only to the large size of a mountain, not to any of its other features (dirt, stone, vegetation). 2. A symbol.
Notes: Today's word comes with a ton of suffixes: the adjective is either metaphoric or metaphorical with the empty (meaningless) suffix –al at the end. However, you do need that suffix for the adverb, metaphorically.
In Play: Metaphors can work for you or against you: "I hope, when you say I'm sick, you are referring to my cold and aren't using the word metaphorically." The use of today's good word in the sense of "symbol" is, in fact, a misuse, but one that seems to have stuck: "Michael Jackson is a metaphor for the focus on superficiality in show business today."
Word History: The ancients thought that metaphor carried you beyond the meaning of words. We borrowed it via Old French from Latin metaphora, which came from Greek metaphora "transference" from metapherein "to carry beyond, to transfer". This verb is based on meta "beyond" + pherein "to carry". Meta is a distant cousin of English mid and middle. The root of pherein comes from a prolific PIE root, *bher-/*bhor- which turned up on its own in English as bear (carry), birth, and (wheel)barrow. In Latin the initial [bh] became [f], resulting in ferre "to carry, bear", which we see in confer, refer, defer, transfer, etc. (Today's word came from the ocean of good words in the vocabulary of Apoclima, a major trading partner in the Alpha Agora.)

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - There's not much that can eclipse a presidential election, but a mega-storm that practically covers the northeastern United States is something that could do it, and have a serious impact on voting
"The direct impact, like townships that are under water for a week or two and how that impacts actual voting sites," said UNF political science professor Michael Binder.
Dr. Binder said this storm may well be a boost for the Obama campaign.
"What does this do for a challenging candidate like Mitt Romney when Barack Obama is standing there as the leader during a time of crisis. Assuming this doesn't get botched like Katrina and people don't die by 100s. This is a situation that President Obama can come out looking good," said Binder.
How the campaign's react to the storm isn't the only way this storm impacts the election. It could impact the number of votes. Even in Florida, Supervisor of Elections Jerry Holland said the storm might affect the number of votes cast in Jacksonville.
"How many absentee ballots we might have sent to voters for our residents that are up there and with the airlines and limited flights. How many of those will be delayed getting back. That will be a concern if this storm lingers," said Jerry Holland.
During a press conference on Monday, President Obama didn't mention the campaign in his prepared remarks, and when he was asked how the storm might affect the election, he said he wasn't thinking along those lines. "I'm worried about the impact on families, and I'm worried about the impact on our first responders. I'm worried about the impact on our economy and on transportation," he said.
Romney went ahead with part of his campaign schedule, although he blended his appeal for political support with one for his backers to make a donation to the Red Cross or other relief agencies "in any way you can imagine to help those in harm's way."
"Do your very best to help," he implored as his aides spread the word he would cancel an evening appearance in Wisconsin and a full day of campaigning Tuesday because of the storm.
He received an update on federal storm response efforts in a phone call with the deputy director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other officials.
However, the campaign said Romney "believes that states should be in charge of emergency management in responding to storms and other natural disasters in their jurisdictions" and "are in the best position to aid affected individuals and communities and to direct resources and assistance to where they are needed most. This includes help from the federal government and FEMA."
Nearing the end of a brawl of a campaign, both Romney and the president said they hoped Americans would work together to help those in need - and an unscientific sample of voters said they liked what they were hearing.
According to the United States Elections Project at George Mason University, about 15 million ballots already have been cast, including 1.8 million in Florida and 1.5 million in North Carolina.
Democratic early voters so far outnumber Republicans in Ohio, Iowa, North Carolina and Nevada, while the reverse is true in Colorado. The two sides are at rough parity in Florida. No votes will be counted until Nov. 6.

Is any of the information on this page incorrect?

I thought that I'll compile a list of all the links at one place, and also try and explain the role each page plays. If you've installed the CS6, then you probably know this already; not sure how helpful this will be, but here it is.
- Launching help from InDesign open the help content in your default web browser
- The Adobe Help Manager lets you download offline help and notifies you when updated content is available.
See What's new with Adobe Community Help for more detailed information.
Online Help
Help Hub page
The Help Hub page is a central page that contains information about getting started with the product and where to access the help from. Most of the links in this post can be accessed through the Help Hub page. It provides a single launch point from where you can access various resources.
The Topics page is displayed when you press F1 or choose Help > Online Help. This page replaces the Table-of-contents page, and does away with the "Tree" navigation and multiple clicking that was necessary in the earlier versions. (If you have stubby fingers like mine, this works quite nicely on tablets and phones too)
- All help articles are at the same level, and clubbed under Topics
- Small chunks of content have been consolidated into larger articles so that you get the entire context in a single page.
- Articles that fall under multiple topics, appear multiple times so that you can find content from your natural workflow
- Not all links are displayed under each topic. To view a complete list of the articles under each topic, click the More link next to the topic heading.
- Clicking on the InDesign Help title/link (top-left of the page) will take you one level up to the Help Hub page.
Whats new in CS6
The What's New in InDesign CS6 page lists the new features in InDesign CS6 in one place. Provides basic information about the features and helps you find the new features in the product. We have tried to add enough information so that you don't have to look elsewhere to get started. However, hyperlinks take you to more detailed information for complex features.
- Clicking on the InDesign Help title/link (top-left of the page) will take you one level up to the Topics page.
Getting Started
The Getting Started page lists resources that you can use to quickly learn the product. Whether you're completely new to InDesign or just moved to CS6, you'll find links to videos, blog posts, help articles that will help you get started. This page is frequently updated with new information as and when it becomes available.
The CS6 PDFs are not available yet. As soon as they are available, I'll update this post to add the links.
The Offline PDFs are now available for download. http://helpx.adobe.com/en/pdf/indesign_reference.pdf
You can also download these using the Adobe Help Manager.
See the following post by my colleague Mallika for details: 5 FAQs about offline help in CS6.
Previous versions
If you need PDFs for the previous versions, such as CS5.5/5, you can access the PDFs for the previous versions from the Archives page.
