text:
The hadiths handed down from our Prophet (saas) openly refute those people who maintain that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will not come in this century but at some time in the future. For example, one hadith handed down from our Prophet (saas) makes it perfectly clear that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will come in the year 1400 (Islamic calendar),
"People will gather around Hazrat Mahdi (as) in the year 1400."
In his collection Master Said Nursi, the greatest Islamic scholar of the last 1000 years, also says that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear in 1400:
(The Companions)… SUPPOSE(D) A FACT THAT WOULD OCCUR ONE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED YEARS LATER to be close to their century…
The portents of the End Times revealed by our Prophet (saas) all began taking place one by one and one after the other as of 1400.
Hazrat Mahdi (as) is described as appearing in 1400 (Islamic calendar) in many hadiths handed down from our Prophet (saas), in the famous Letters of the great Islamic scholar Imam Rabbani, in the Sunan Abu Dawud, the most important Sunni work on the hadith, and also in the Barla and Kastamonu addenda by Master Said Nursi and in his sermon preached by him in 1327 (Islamic calendar) in front of the Omayyid Mosque in Damascus.
(For further detail on this subject, see:
And also the existence of hadith handed down from our Prophet (saas) and contained in the works of such great Islamic scholars as Imam Rabbani, Jalaladdin as-Suyuti, Ahmad Ibn Hanbal and Master Said Nursi which put the life of the Ummah of Islam as being up to the 1500s, is crystal clear:
Said Nursi also says the Ummah will live until 1506:
"…The first sentence indicates with the figure one thousand five hundred (1500) the final times of a group of fighters of Islam (people who work for Islam) in the end of time; and the second sentence indicates with the figure one thousand five hundred and six (1506) the date of the victory for Islam.
In page 33 of the Kastamonu Addendum, the Master says that Doomsday will take place in 1545. (Allah knows the truth.)
"A group from my community will remain in truth until Allah's command."
It is perfectly clear in the light of these authentic sources that the time of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) will not be in a century subsequent to 1400 (Islamic calendar). Such a claim would be groundless since the Ummah will live until around the 1500s and since all the portents of the End Times will take place in the century between 1400 and 1500. All Muslims must absolutely attach credence to authentic hadith handed down from our Prophet (saas) and the accounts of great Islamic scholars. By contrast, to ignore these portents we have listed below and that have all come about one after the other is equivalent to maintaining that one should expect them to happen again, one after the other. The fact is that these portents have already happened once, and in a given order. And this is sufficient for Muslims to realize that they are living in the End Times foretold by our Prophet (saas). To say, in the face of the hundreds of portents in question that have taken place, "the same portents must happen all over again" is definitely irrational and illogical. It is enough for a genuine Muslim to see that these portents have taken place once in the manner foretold by our Prophet (saas) to believe that we are living in the End Times and that, insha'Allah, Hazrat Mahdi (as) has come.
1. In the hadith our Prophet (saas) describes the portents of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) coming about one after the other like "the pieces of a necklace" and reveals that this is a certain harbinger of Hazrat Mahdi's (as) appearance:
It is transmitted from Abu Hurayra (ra) that Rasulullah said:
And the portents in question really did start taking place one after the other, like the beads in a necklace," from the year 1400 on. Those who deny that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear in 1400 are definitely unable to explain these portents of the End Times that have been taking place one after the other in this century.
2. A war between Iran and Iraq began in October 1980. This war is referred to as follows in the hadith:
"There will be rebellion in the month of Shawwal, talk of war in Dhulkada and war in Dhilhijja."
The dates given in the hadith correspond to the phases of the development of the Iran-Iraq War: The first rebellion against the shah of Iran began on 5 Shawwal 1398 (8 September 1976). Full war broke out in Dhilhijja 1400 (October 1980).
(For full details, see:
There is total compatibility in terms of dates and events between the hadith and the Iran-Iraq War that began in 1980. The dates, events, location and duration in the hadith are all identical. It is therefore totally wrong to fly in the face of all this and claim that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear in a century subject to 1400. It is illogical to claim that such a war will break out again in another century when the Iran-Iraq War has taken place just as described in the hadith.
3. The Russian occupation of Afghanistan happened in 1979, corresponding to 1400 in the Islamic calendar, to the beginning of the 1400s, in other words. This occupation is described as follows in the hadith of our Prophet (saas):
"Pity poor Taliqan (a region in Afghanistan) that at that place are treasures of Allah, but these are not of gold and silver but consist of people who have recognized Allah as they should have. They are the companions of the Mahdi (as) of End of Times."
This hadith draws attention to Afghanistan's material riches. Today, large oil deposits, iron deposits and coal mines that have not been commercially exploited yet have been detected there. The invasion of Afghanistan took place in 1400, in a manner in complete agreement with the hadith. Those people who maintain that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will not be coming in 1400 are therefore claiming that Afghanistan will be occupied in the same way at a later date together with all the portents thereof, a claim which is most definitely untrue.
4. The waters of the River Euphrates ceasing to flow is another of the portents of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as). The waters of the Euphrates have today been stopped by the dams constructed upon it, and the hadith has therefore come about.
"Soon the river Euphrates will disclose the treasure (the mountain) of gold, so whoever will be present at that time should not take anything of it."
How do those who maintain that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear in another century, rather than this one, account for this state of affairs? The water of the Euphrates have already been stopped once. According to the hadith it is the first stopping that matters. Any subsequent stopping of the waters is irrelevant in terms of the hadith having come about.
5. There were two consecutive eclipses of the Sun and Moon, 15 days apart, during the month of Ramadan in 1981 and 1982.
(For details see:
This extraordinary event is described, with timings, in the hadith of our Prophet (saas) as an important portent of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as). By Allah's leave, it will be meaningless to wait for such a major event to happen twice consecutively in the month of Ramadan as described in the hadith in another century, because the portent will already have come about.
6. Our Prophet (saas) has described "THE SINKING OF AN ARMY ON THE DESERT SANDS" in the hadith as another portent of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as). The hadith openly state that an army will sink in the desert sands during a time of war.
...An army will be sent to him. These will be sunk while they are in the desert.
Following the American invasion of Iraq in 2003, the 60,000 Iraqi Army unit known as the Republican Guard and the 15,000 military unit known as the Fedayeen totally disappeared. Newspapers reported on this extraordinary phenomenon in reports such as "WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GUARDS? SADDAM'S JUNTA HAS VANISHED AND HIS PLANES HAVE BEEN DUG OUT OF THE SAND."
(For details see:
Those people who maintain that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear at a later time, who claim that the time of his appearance is not this century, cannot possible suggest that such an extraordinary phenomenon will ever happen again. Because the hadith has already come true in all its details.
7. Halley's comet, described in the hadith as traveling "from east to west," came closest to the earth in 1986, (1406 according to the Islamic calendar.)
for the relevant hadiths)
Since it is impossible, as those who make this claim suggest, for Halley's Comet, a bright and shining star that passes by the Earth once every 76 years, to suddenly change course and pass by the earth again in another century, their claim is invalid.
8. A terrible massacre took place in the Kaaba in 1979 (1 Muharram, 1400 according to the Islamic calendar). This date is the first day of the year 1400. Thirty people lost their lives in the incident. In the hadith, our Prophet (saas) refers to such a significant event occurring in "the year that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear."
The term "the year that Hazrat Mahdi (as) appears" is highly significant. Because both this incident and the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) indicate the year 1979. Seven years after this incident that took place in 1979, another bloody incident occurred. This time 402 people were killed. But in contrast to the first incident, this one took place alongside the Kaaba rather than inside it. These two are in complete agreement with the description given in the hadith of "an attack on the Kaaba and blood shed from the Kaaba" cited as a portent of the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as).
Since the year 1400 has passed, those who claim that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear in some other century that these hadith and all the other hadith revealed as signs of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) will ever all happen again.
9. The hadith refers to "a fire being seen from the east" as a portent of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as).
(For details see: http://www.awaitedmahdi.com/signs/signs009.html)
Following the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1991, the Kuwaiti oil wells were set ablaze, and a huge fire covered Kuwait and the Gulf of Basra. Various details are provided about this fire in the hadith, described as being seen from the east, such as; "the fire being smothered" and "the fire covering people as a terrible torment, burning and destroying property, and being spread by the wind like a cloud across the world..." All the details provided point to this incident that happened in 1991.
10. The "dusty, smoky, dark corruption" described in the hadith as another portent of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) refers to the September 11, 2001, terror attack in the USA. Our Prophet (saas) relates this hadith in the words:
A dusty, smoky, dark corruption will be seen, and this will follow the others...
A huge smoke cloud arose following the huge explosions of the September 11 attacks, rising high and spreading far enough both to cover the city and also to be seen from other towns around. In addition, the clouds of smoke that grew up as the buildings collapsed also entirely covered people. This huge terror attack heralding the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) was perpetrated in this century, together with all the other portents. Those people who claim that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear in another century cannot explain how this incident took place with all the other portents as a single whole.
11. One of the portents of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) is the hadith describing how the rulers of Sham and Egypt will be killed before his coming."
The inhabitants of Egypt and Sham will kill their ruler and his commands...
This hadith speaks of certain heads of state in the Middle East and Africa being killed before the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as).
This hadith came true with the killing of a number of leaders, including former Syrian President Salah Al-Deen Beetar in 1920, Syrian Prime Minister Droubi Pasha in 1921, Syrian Prime Minister Muhsin al-Barazi in 1949, King Abdullah of Jordan in 1951. Former King Abdul Kassim of Iraq, killed during a coup by the Iraqi Air Force in 1963 and Falangist leader Beshir Jamayel, killed in a bomb attack in Lebanon in 1982. It will be utterly meaningless for those who maintain that Hazrat Mahdi's appearance will come in another century to claim that these events that herald the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) and have happened one by one to occur again and with al the other signs.
12. One of the portents of the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as) is the invasion of Azerbaijan. On 20 January, 1990, the Azeri territory of Nagorno Karabagh was occupied by the Armenians, during the course of which many Azeri Muslims were martyred. The hadith takes the form "... A FIRE WILL CERTAINLY EMERGE FROM AZERBAIJAN. And nothing will be able to stand in its way. When this happens, stay in your homes..."
(For details see:
How do those who claim that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear in a subsequent century as opposed to this one explain this and other hadith in terms of a later century? It is impossible for them to explain such a completely unequivocal occurrence.
13. The hadith note that there will be great acts of terror in the region after the stopping of the waters of the Euphrates and that a large number of people will lose their lives. And the PKK [Kurdistan Workers' Party] terror began in the region after the severing of the waters of the River Euphrates, resulting in the deaths of many people. On the other hand, a huge economic potential arose in the region in the wake of the waters of the Euphrates being stopped by the dams constructed on them, and land prices in the area rose. All these things show that the hadith related by our Prophet (saas) has come about:
"The waters of the River Euphrates will retract and a mountain of gold will emerge from under them; people will fight to acquire this and ONLY ONE out of EVERY HUNDRED will survive. Doomsday will not take place until this time comes."
Therefore, those who claim that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will not come this century are doing so by ignoring this situation, which still applies today and has taken place in line with the hadith.
14. One very distinguishing portent of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) and one reported by Imam Rabbani is the appearance of a double-ended star resembling a horn. This star is the comet Lulin, which came closest to the earth on 24 February, 2009. The comet is described as follows in the hadith:
" When Abbasi Malik arrives at Khorasan, one of the signs of the coming of the promised Mahdi, A DOUBLE-TOOTHED LIGHT SHEDDING HORN WILL APPEAR IN THE EAST."
The comet Lulin, which was expected to pass by in thousands of years' time, fully matches this description in the hadith.
( For details see:
Those who deny the fact that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will come in 1400 and say he will appear in some other century are very definitely unable to account for this portent having come about. The fact that this comet, which completely matches our Prophet's (saas) descriptions, should have passed by the Earth in the End Times is exceedingly important. In addition, scientists say it will be at least another 1000 yearsbefore this comet passes by the Earth again.
(Web sites which describe scientifically how the comet Lulin passes the Earth once every 1000 years, and how it will therefore be another 1000 years before it comes by again:
This date equates to around the year 3000 AD. But our Prophet (saas) says that the life of his Ummah will come to an end around 1500 (by the Islamic calendar), and Said Nursi states that the Day of Reckoning will befall the deniers in around 1545. Looked at in the light of these statements, there can be no question of the comet Lulin, one of the portents of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as), ever being seen again after this century .
15. The appearance of a sign in the Sun is also cited in the hadith as a portent of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as):
"He [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] will not come unless a sign emerges out of the Sun.
The greatest solar explosion ever observed took place in November 2003, or 1430 according to the Islamic calendar. The fact that such a great explosion took place in the century we are living in and was covered in the press under such headlines as "THE GREATEST SOLAR EXPLOSION EVER..." shows that yet another of the portents of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) has come true.
16. In the hadith, our Prophet (saas) speaks of a major economic crisis prior to the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as). Several hadith describe how "people will complain of low earnings, stagnation in the markets and stagnation in business" as well as other economic difficulties.
( For details see:
The hadiths in question are in complete agreement with the great economic crisis going on at the moment across the world. Major economies such as those of America, China and Germany have suffered serious losses, while world-famous giant companies, banks and industries have collapsed because of the crisis. This important hadith of the End Times has also now come about.
17. One of the portents about the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) concerns a powerful earthquake reported to take place in Italy. The hadith states that a major earthquake will strike Italy and damage the walls of the Vatican.
...Hazrat Mahdi (as) and his students will...capture Rome with tasbih (praise Allah) and takbir (declaration of the greatness of Allah) of Allah's greatness...THE WALLS OF THAT CITY [THE VATICAN] WILL COLLAPSE... [BY AN EARTHQUAKE] ..."
Another of the portents regarding the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as) reported in the hadith came about with the earthquake that struck Italy on 6 April, 2009. Those who maintain that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be coming at a later time ignore this major earthquake in Italy that damaged the walls of the Vatican.
18. On 15 November, 1979 (in 1400 according to the Islamic calendar), the world's fourth largest tanker, the 150,000 gross ton Romanian Independenta ran aground following an accident as it came to Istanbul, the last center of the Islamic world. The sound of the great explosion that resulted terrified the citizens of Istanbul. The tanker blazed for several days before finally sinking in front of Haydarpaşa.
(For detailed information see:
It is revealed in another hadith handed down from our Prophet (saas) that:
Abu Ja`far ibn Muhammad ibn Ali (ra) narrated: "WHEN YOU SEE A FLAME RISE IN THE EAST FOR THREE OR SEVEN DAYS, THEN WAIT FOR THE EMERGENCE OF AL-I MUHAMMAD [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)]; Allah will speak from the sky the name of the Mahdi and everybody, whether in the east or the west, even asleep will hear that voice and wake up."
The information provided in the hadith reveals that this event will take place during the days of Hazrat Mahdi's (as) arrival in Istanbul, the scene of his appearance. We are told that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will come to Istanbul to the accompaniment of a great noise like thunder, a giant fire that burns for days on end, a cloud of light and smoke and occasional explosions.
Those who harbor the idea that Hazrat Mahdi (as) did not come in 1400 (Islamic calendar) and will appear in some other century instead cannot ignore the historic and sequential harmony between this and all the other hadith concerned.

In an op-ed for the Nashua Telegraph, Chase Hagaman, New England regional director of The Concord Coalition, discusses the need to enact fiscal reforms soon to rein in the rising national debt. The guest column can also be found here on the newspaper's website.
How large is $7.9 trillion?
Large enough to fund the federal departments of Defense, Agriculture, Transportation, Education, Commerce, Justice, Homeland Security, Labor and Interior for the next 10 years.
It is also how much the Congressional Budget Office projects the government will need to borrow over that time.
In other words, we are on track to borrow the entire sum of operating expenses for these federal programs. And the debt, which already tops $17.2 trillion and is higher relative to the American economy than at any time since the World War II era, will continue to grow.
But because the federal deficit is expected to decline through next year, complacency toward our long-term fiscal challenges seems to have set in.
That complacency, unfortunately, is reflected in recent actions in Washington.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have shown little interest in pursuing a bipartisan, long-term fiscal reform deal this year.
President Barack Obama's proposed 2015 budget excluded his previously suggested use of the chained CPI, a more accurate measure of inflation than the index that is currently used.
Congress recently backed away from its modest reform in military retirement benefits, and all but dismissed House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp's tax reform plan. Although the plan needs more deficit reduction, it could serve as a starting point for substantive debate on tax reform.
Serious discussions should take place soon. After 2015, the CBO projects, the budget deficit will begin to rise again, nearing the record-setting level we saw in 2009. Three key drivers of the projected deficits: an aging population, higher health care spending and growing interest costs.
As millions of baby boomers enroll each year in Social Security and Medicare, more and more of the budget will be consumed to provide the same level of benefits to more people. The annual reports of the Medicare and Social Security trustees underscore that the programs are not on sustainable paths.
Moreover, a growing debt and an increase from today's unusually low interest rates will confront the federal government with much greater interest costs over the next decade. Federal revenue, meanwhile, is not expected to keep up.
A large, growing federal debt can harm economic growth, restrict our ability to meet future challenges and increase the risk of another fiscal crisis. That is why Congress and the president must set complacency aside and focus on fundamental fiscal reforms to put the country on a more responsible path in the years ahead.
A number of bipartisan groups have proposed possible solutions. Two of the best-known are the Simpson-Bowles and Domenici-Rivlin commissions, which both suggested tax and entitlement reforms, significant changes in the defense budget, and other spending reductions. They deserve careful consideration on Capitol Hill.
Eliminating special provisions in the tax code, for example, could mean a broader base, lower rates, smaller deficits, and less taxpayer confusion.
Social Security reform options include a more progressive benefits formula, an improved inflation index, and gradually increasing early and full retirement ages. To avoid hardship for some beneficiaries, the government could provide an enhanced minimum benefit for low-wage workers, greater benefits for individuals with long-term disabilities, and a qualification-age exemption for those who are unable to work beyond 62.
You can help drive fiscal reform forward. Encourage your elected officials to confront the issues and question political candidates about their commitment to fiscal reform. Check out the "Get Involved" section of The Concord Coalition website, www.concordcoalition.org. E-mail, call, and Tweet in support of more fiscally responsible policies in Washington.
Systematic reform may be difficult and politically painful in the short term, but it can mean a stronger and more prosperous country for ourselves and future generations.

It is not dual link, but rated for 1920 * 1200. German web site states a dual link device will be available in the future.

supaxi - Saturday, October 22, 2005 - linkI know this is a bit out of left field, but I wanted to mention a software KVM program that I use a lot. It lets you use one mouse and keyboard with any number of systems. I use three computers at work and this is real life saver as I hate KVM switches.

tortoisehead - Thursday, October 20, 2005 - linkI bought a gefen switcher a few weeks ago because remote logins don't cut it for video or gaming, and I was sick of switching the usb and dvi cables between my pc and mac. I have the "2x1 DVI KVM" and have had several issues like the ones the reviewers came across. In case there are other gefen owners reading this article, here's some info on how I got my setup to be stable.
I went through hell just trying to to get the ability to switch back and forth between my PC and Mac without praying that it would work correctly. You wouldn't think a switcher would be that hard, but like others have said no one can seem to get it right. I had crashes, devices not being recognized correctly, and the monitor not turning on when I switched. Sometimes repeatable, sometimes not. That can be so frustrating.
In the end I replaced the DVI cable going to my Mac with one I got from work (from Dell). That ended the dock crashing every time I switched back to my Mac. Who knows what is wrong with the cable that gefen gave me. I asked in their forums, and they recommended to pull out one of the DVI pins! Too bad after I did that the cable didn't work at all anymore.
As far as the PC, I had two wireless logitech controllers that were apparently causing issues with the switcher and XP. One for the keyboard, and one for the mouse. Once I set it up to communicate with both devices using the keyboard controller, I removed the mouse-only controller and had no more usb problems.
One of the most frustrating things I ran into was the same thing documented in the review. You bring up any problems in the gefen forum and the first thing they tell you is to buy their $80 "DVI Detective" to fix their own buggy hardware! That's just lame, especially with the price of DVI switchers. And if Macs have problems with DVI cables having certain pins, why not have the option of one of your DVI cables being a "Mac" version when you buy the switcher?
So long story short, I can't really recommend gefen's products either. Please chime in if you have had a great experience with an affordable DVI switcher! Reply
Scorpion - Thursday, October 20, 2005 - linkWow I'm so happy to see a KVM article! I still use my old Hawking 4-Port KVM. I've been trying to upgrade to a newer KVM with DVI and USB support for mouse and keyboard, but I just can't find any! I was even at a Fry's (out of town, there isn't one where I live) and I looked at this huge Isle of KVMs, and I could maybe find ONE that supported DVI or USB, but never both, and the ones I found just didn't have the functional look I wanted. Where is this market? I know several people with multiple computers and limited desktop real-estate for multiple monitors, keyboards, and mice. KVMs are great for this situation, there just aren't enough people who do it right.
I'm really looking for a good KVM DVI+USB, not to be used with any wireless keyboard or mouse. If anyone has any recommendations I'd greatly appreciate it. It's good to see some attention pointed towards this market segment. Reply
Nocturnal - Wednesday, October 19, 2005 - linkI wonder if more sites did more reviews on KVMs that they'd kinda get to work on fixes for the flaws that the reviewers find. I want the IOGear GCS1774 but it does not work with any nVidia 3/4 chipset which is very bad. Reply
ky - Wednesday, October 19, 2005 - linkHow do you get a 30" for $2500?
Pixar and Apple employees get a standard discount of 15% before tax so that comes pretty close to $2500 ($2549). Maybe reviewers get > 15% off? Or another reason might be due to cash back discounts or site referrals (fatwallet) you might bring it closer to $2500.
Why buy a $400 switcher when a 2nd 20" display is only $400?
I dunno about you but if both my computers can power the 30" in all its magnificence, I'd rather use the 2nd computer w/ the 30" than a piddly 20". OTOH, w/ a 2nd monitor, you can use both at the same time rather than alternatively. It's just a preference thing, I guess.
Gefen has has a long history of "screwing" their customers with their suggestions (read: upselling) of buying additional products to solve problems with products you've already purchased. Back when I was using the 23" display, they suggested I buy a 2nd identical product to troubleshoot my existing ADC Switcher w/o any mention of sending one back or for credit. Even the CS rep remarked that I probably didn't want to do it but it was a suggestion. Don't hold your breath on the integration of Auto-EQ or DVI Detective into the next version of the DL KVM, they've said things in the past about previous products having problems and perhaps addressing them in a future version of the product but they never followed through.

Aquila76 - Wednesday, October 19, 2005 - linkTry finding a KVM (DVI or not) that works with a USB cordless keyboard & mouse. I tried a Belkin, Tripp-Lite, and IOGear; all would lose or mess up the tracking for both the K & M when I switched away to my other box.
I have a Logitech Cordless Elite Duo, it has one USB plug that goes to the receiver for the K & M. I think that is what's screwing the KVM switches I've tried, as they apparently need seperate plugs for both. Reply
johnsonx - Wednesday, October 19, 2005 - linkI think your issue is that when you switch your USB device looses power for a moment... that's enough to kill the wireless receiver and make it loose track of the kb and mouse.
johnsonx - Wednesday, October 19, 2005 - linker... that was supposed to be loses and lose, not looses and loose...
but you probably got the idea just the same.

IronChefMoto - Wednesday, October 19, 2005 - linkSkimming through this article, it makes me shake my head. It's hard to find decent DVI KVMs. The Belkin SOHOs are twitchy at best, and the only other name brand I've been referred to (and actually away from) is IOGEAR.
Right now, I use a 4-port VGA/USB KVM for a Shuttle XPC, PC laptop, and whatever 3rd project machine I'm using. After a recent job change that required a switch to a dual DVI monitor Mac, I'm hating having to try and find a decent DVI KVM replacement.
I need a dual monitor DVI KVM if I'm to (a) get a 2nd 17" monitor at home to mimic my work setup and (b) replace my PC laptop with a Mac. I've priced out the dual VGA and single DVI offerings from Belkin's SOHO line, and they're expensive. The dual DVI models from IOGEAR are 30-50% more expensive than those.
For the time being, I'll stick with my single VGA 4-port Belkin SOHO which works fine, after some wrangling. I can't afford a second non-DVI Samsung flat panel anyway, and the Mac laptop is even farther off.
Bottom line -- if you start needing 2 computers, 2 monitors, etc. -- KVMs are gonna get expensive. And that's assuming they don't have bugs like this Gefen did, or like the ones I've read about for IOGEAR products.

Patman2099 - Wednesday, October 19, 2005 - linkI dont know if macs have similar driver issues, but as far as the DVI detective issue goes, try changing the driver to a pre 5.8 catalyst driver.
ive had some screwy issues with DVI on my HTPC since catalyst 5.8 , including things going to hell whenever the htpc loses its connection with the TV(being turned off, changing inputs, etc) before 5.8, everything worked flawlessly and i never had any issues. Reply
Chuckles - Wednesday, October 19, 2005 - linkAnand,
I run a slightly smaller scale KVM system between my Mac and PC (12x10 monitor, GeForce 2 MX (Mac), 9600 (PC), Belkin 2-port SOHO DVI KVM). The setup definitely has its quirks and flaws. F13, F15, and the Volume controls on my Apple keyboard no longer register, and about 1/4 of the time, the mouse gets forgotten by the PC.
With regard to the monitor issue, what happens when you hot-plug the monitor into the G5 (without the KVM)?
Also, did you have any peculiarities or restrictions with the keyboard operation when using the KVM? Reply
Lonyo - Wednesday, October 19, 2005 - linkIt's not a $600 video card + $2500 monitor + $400 KVM, it's TWO $600 video cards, a $3000 monitor (apparently) and a $400 + $160 KVM, but still as a part of the whole cost, $560 isn't much when you're spending $4000+ anyway. Reply
lopri - Wednesday, October 19, 2005 - link
$2500 monitor
Where can you get a 30" Cinema Display for that price? After adding tax I get a $3,240 quote. Misinformation is as bad as misjudgiment. :~P
Also can you possibly tell me why, oh why, don't other manufacturer's make 30" monitors w/ 25x16 resolution? This has been bugging me so bad. I'd love to have a 30" monitor but I do not want to give a dime to such a greedy company. If Apple can sell 30"s, surely Samsung, LG, Dell, et al. can. Apple is not making the panels on their own anyway. (I believe it's Samsung)
"Market demand" seems to me a weak excuse because these companies make even more expensive (read: $7,000 and up) LCD/Plasma screens. And strangely they are all 1280x768 (or something like that) resolutions. (OK, there are 1900x1080s too, but still way too short of 2500x1600)
Do you have any inside knowledge of this situation? This question's been bugging me for years. (since the 30" CD came out) I'd also like to know if there is any hope to get a bigger res from other manufacturers than Apple in the near future.
Thanks alot.

sprockkets - Wednesday, October 19, 2005 - linkOK, they are rare, and maybe it wasn't a dual link version, but hell, when you can get a KVM for around what $20 for the VGA version, why bother with $400? Are DVI switchers just going to cost that much since it is digital? Reply

JarredWalton - Wednesday, October 19, 2005 - linkWhat about the potential to simply use shorter cables? Really, it seems like the DVI Detective should just connect inline with the DVI cable and not even require an extra cable. Barring that, a short 5" cable on one side would be able to fix the issue, perhaps?
I don't know if you can actually find cables that short, but Gefen ought to be able to do that, right? Since you only need to program the DVI Detective when you change monitors, there's not much point in making them more visible. Of course, requiring people to purchase the DVI Detective in the first place on a $400 product is not really acceptable to most users.
I'd also be interested in hearing how the G5 system fares with a non-ATI card. My own experience is that ATI cards seem to be a bit more picky with EDID information. My (super cheap $25) KVM works fine with NVIDIA cards, but sometimes ATI cards don't know what monitor is attached, defaulting to lowest-common-denominator refresh rates. (I just uncheck the "Use EDID Information" box and manually specify the monitor capabilities in that case, but it's a bit annoying - not sure if anything like that is even an option for Macs, though.)
Anyway, I need a new KVM, preferrably with four ports and USB+DVI support. Thank goodness I don't need dual-link DVI as well! Reply
Beh - Wednesday, October 19, 2005 - linkwell, its not all bad, but i do think it needs work. if they integrate the DVI detective functionality and the auto-EQ in their next version it may be worth looking into. for now, i will pass... Reply

Geforce9300 - Friday, January 23, 2009 - linkHi guys;
Personally, I think Apple is buying all of these chipsets NVidia can make for the moment...
Where I live, in Belgium, only 3 mobos are available with this chipset: The Asus, the Gigabyte, and now there's a new one from DFI: I'ts called the DFI LANPARTY Junior GF9400-T2RS .
So only 3 mobo's... it's what makes me think Apple is eating most of these chipsets right now.
Steve, leave one for me please if you will...
And take care of your health.
Has anyone seen another mobo?
Mr. Anand, any update since the test? Is there a revision 2 which solves the latency problem and so on?
I would like to buy one... I have a low power Pentium 4 631 'Cedar Mill' lying here, and I have everything except a mobo.
So I am kind of waiting to see the stated issues resolved in a certain mobo before buying one.
I was dissapointed by the G45's GPU, so I would prefer to buy an NVidia chipset...
I like to see NVidia being the leader in INtel-mainstream chipsets again!
Thumbs up for NVidia!

lordbob99 - Thursday, January 29, 2009 - linkI'm currently seeing 7 available Nvidia GeForce 9x00 based motherboards available over at Newegg.com - XFX, Asus, Zotac, MSI, DFI, Gigabyte, and EVGA.
Link's not working here for me, but you can paste in: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Sub...">http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLi...=&Sp...
I've been thinking about picking one of these up for a while, but was hoping for an update from anandtech on whether the problems/kinks they mentioned have been worked out yet.
sergev - Friday, January 02, 2009 - linkYou say that you tried to keep every part of the system the same as much as possible. Why is it then that you choose a 140 Watt AMD processor and a 95 Watt Intel processor and say that the nvidia 9300/9400 is using less energy than the AMD chipsets?
You should have gone with something more the same like a 65 watt core 2 duo and a 65 watt athlon 64x2. That way you could be sure that you have honest results. And performance wise it is ofcourse obvious that the intel systems should perform better because of the ridiculously high end processor. Now there is no way of telling wich one is using less energy!

JonnyDough - Monday, October 20, 2008 - linkWhat we could use is this in a 939/478 form factor with support for both DDR and DDR2 ram. There are a lot of Athlons and P4s out there still with motherboards that have died. With few choices on the market, an powerful and cheap integrated solution would be a great option for old systems. I would still build an HTPC out of my older X2s. Reply
XavierJohn - Thursday, October 16, 2008 - linkIt is interesting in this article one person has the DTC 9.8 and the other Pioneer Elite.
I currently have Pioneer Elite and was thinking about DTC 9.8. For an HTPC use is the upgrade worth it?
Is it also worth upgrading from 8200 AMD to 9400 Intel for an HTPC? From my understanding, it is not. Reply
Gary Key - Thursday, October 16, 2008 - linkI would upgrade from the VSX-94THX to the DTC 9.8 if I could. ;) From a HTPC perspective, no real reason to upgrade from the 8200 to the 9300. Reply
XavierJohn - Thursday, October 23, 2008 - linkI switched from a Pioneer Elite to Integra DHC-9.9 and to me it seems like the Pioneer sounds better. Pioneer during its speaker setup also setup EQ to compensate for room modes. I did not see Integra do that. Reply

iwodo - Thursday, October 16, 2008 - linkThe performance for Ethernet CPU usage seems rather poor. In fact all of them are bad, as Intel should be in the region of single digit percentage shown in other website.
One interesting point i realize while reading, i hope to share with their reader.
Is that measuring the few percentage difference with low CPU resoource usage playing H.264 Full HD isn't very important at all... Why?
Because the difference between 15 - 25% , while 10% looks like a lot, the most important factor is POWER CONSUMPTION. While most people would think lower CPU usage and therefore lower power usage. In this article it turns out while Geforce has the lowest power consumption while using most CPU resources.
And how many people use their CPU for other heavy task while watching Full HD Movie?
I cant wait to see these being refreshed next summer, with 40nm, more die space because memory and most northbridge move to CPU, we should be able to put more then double the shader inside? Reply
crabnebula - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkI know the focus is on Blu-ray and progressive source material, but most people stil have SD DVDs and 1080i TV broadcasts that they want to play back on their HTPC.
Adequate deinterlacing, detail enhancement and noise reduction have been the missing pieces of the puzzle for all other IGPs except the 780G + Phenom combination, but that has other issues.
What about the 9300/9400? Does the increased GPU power allow for better processing?
If it doesn't, there is one other check missing on your list, in my opinion. Reply
Natfly - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkSo is this the article that was supposed to come out analyzing the 780G, 8200, and G45? You know, months.... and months.... and months ago?

AmdInside - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkI wish you guys wouldn't use the Sony BDU-X10S in your testing. I've owned this drive and it just sucks. Had problems on both Intel and NVIDIA chipsets.
As for the data transferring problem, I had the same problem recently on my Badaxe2 motherboard. I was moving my hard drive from my Geforce 8200 system to Intel G45 system but first needed to copy recordings to another hard drive so that I could format the hard drive. My desktop has a Badaxe2 is running Vista x64 and I too randomly experienced pauses when copying 500GB of data. Not sure if it is related but it might just be a Vista thing. Reply

Badkarma - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkHi Anand/Gary,
In your next installment, can you please find the slowest usable CPU that plays Bluray smoothly and also test Speedstep with it? Using a quadcore is really overkill and kind of defeats the purpose of GPU DXVA. The 8200 w/ a 4850e cannot utilize CnQ to playback BR. I'd like to see whether a 9300 w/ E5200 or E7200 and Speedstep enabled can play BR smoothly.
Thanks. Reply

cghebert - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkHey guys,
Great to see the articles are up. A couple of quick questions and a comment.
Could you mention clearly what nvidia driver versions (both graphics and HDMI) you used for the tests?
Also, you seem to hint that 5.1 audio is an option with this newest driver set from nvidia. Is this indeed the case?
Also, to echo the comments of some others, it would be nice to see the blu ray playback numbers with cheaper cpus. I have seen the Athlon X2 BE (2.3 ghz) going for less than $40, and even a 3 ghz X2 for $75 or so, which would certainly make buying a cheap discrete graphics card a viable option cost-wise. Reply
nvmarino - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - link>>Unfortunately, as we've mentioned before, there is no support for bitstreaming Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD MA; you'll need to wait until sometime next year before you get full support there.
Hmm - does that mean the hardware is there in THIS chipset but we nned to wait for driver/bios updates!?!?!?!? Or are we talking about a new chipset? Reply
Anand Lal Shimpi - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkSorry for the confusion, absolutely none of the current chipsets (G45, 780G, GF8200, GF9300) support or will support bitstreaming TrueHD/DTS-HD MA. Next year we will see the first GPUs with actual support for this.
8-channel LPCM is the best you'll get for now.
-A Reply
3DoubleD - Friday, October 17, 2008 - linkIsn't LPCM the best you can get anyway? Your Blu-ray decoder (Eg. PowerDVD, standalone Blu-ray player) decodes the audio stream (the best available) and sends that audio to your stereo via PCM. Some Blu-rays even have the LPCM stream raw on the disc. Why would you ever want/care about TrueHD/DTS-HD MA streaming when you are already getting perfect, lossless 7.1 audio to your speakers?

nvmarino - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkHybrd power was one of the more compelling features of this chipset for HTPC use - I want my box sipping as little juice as possible untile game time. Unfortunately, all the reviews I've read so far and this Nvidia page:
seem to indicate Hybrid Power is NOT a feature of the new chipset. I read the comment earlier about it being up to board manufacturers to implement but the page linked above seems to indicate the chipset itself lacks support. Can you guys please confirm? Reply
sascham - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkI've been holding off buying my new rig for 3 months just for this feature. I'm on 100% solar power and although I can still run my current rig that draws more power than a newer one will, any savings I can make are worthwhile (and give me more scope elsewhere).
All the reading I did months ago suggested this chipset would deliver Hybrid Power with Intel CPU. What's the official word on this? If, as the nvidia page linked suggests, this chipset does not deliver this, what's next? When do we get it? Reply
Mr Roboto - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkI'm not the brightest crayon on the box when it comes to tech but couldn't a company just solder on a decent chip and forget this whole IGP nonsense? Like take an Nvidia 9500 or 9600 chip and solder it right on to the board along with 128MB DDR RAM. You'd have you're reasonable gaming performance without suffering through the 9300 which looks to be nothing extraordinary. Couldn't they cool it with standard HSF?
Seems to be a lot of effort for little reward. Reply
sprockkets - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkThere would be little room for it, unless you gave up say two slots. Chaintech did this years ago, cool motherboard, but ran very hot. Suffice to say, no one bothers with it anymore. You might as well just add the memory like side port but a seperate chipset and graphics chip? Only works well in laptops. Reply
Calin - Thursday, October 16, 2008 - linkYou're not saving so much money over a discrete video card (you still need everything a video card have), and you can't "upgrade" (yes, you can add another video card and disable the onboard one, but you can't have your cake and eat it too).
3DoubleD - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkSounds great. Now all we need is a follow-up of the HD 4xxx article as well as confirmation about whether or not these Nvidia issues are solved or will be solved shortly.
I'm really enjoying these HTPC based articles and hope you continue them. Now that the HDMI + 7.1 audio issue has finally been addressed I think it would be helpful to start looking into the software end of HTPCs, such as a Media Center software review (what programs that work well, include blu-ray playback, OTA support, network features, ect).
There are tempting systems such as the FuzeBox Media Server http://www.velocitymicro.com/wizard.php?iid=167">http://www.velocitymicro.com/wizard.php?iid=167 , which includes a seamless interface for Cablecard capture, blu-ray playback, multizone playback, expandable storage, network backups). The interface locks the user from exiting the media center interface, but provides a reliable, seamless, and feature rich experience that I have yet to experience with other media centers. The enthusiast looks at the price tag for such a machine and says, I can build that for half, except that the media center software isn't there. Help us enthusiast achieve that seamless experience without having to empty our pockets for pre-assembled box!

kevinkreiser - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkWait my mistake, actually the german article mentions in the conclusion that they experienced bugginess with the hybrid-sli driver and sometimes games don't start or run really slow. Any comments from you guys at anandtech? Reply
Visual - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkDoes nVidia intend to have this GPU on an AMD chipset at all, or have they given up competing there?
Can we expect this chipset to be used in Intel laptops (other than Apple), and will they still get the Centrino brand? If Intel insists on requiring their own chipsets for that brand, I'm afraid laptop manufacturers will not use it despite its obvious advantages.
Does something like hybrid-SLI work on this chipset, to get better performance from a 9400/9500/9600GT card?
From the Apple adverts it seems dynamic switching between the IGP and stand-alone GPU will be a reality in its laptops... is that the case also with the desktop version that you test today? I guess you'd have mentioned it if it were... Is it at least planned with future drivers or something? Reply
R3MF - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkGood point about the Centrino brand, that may well make laptop manufacturers wary of this chipset, just because of the power of the Centrino brand.
On the other hand, this may be a very good reason for nVidia to push the Via Nano netbook platform via big companies like HP which have a strong brand quality of their own. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkThe Hybrid Power tech (switching between IGP and discrete GPU) should be available in this chipset; support for the feature still remains with the motherboard/notebook vendors, however. I'm still waiting for my first Windows notebook to feature hybrid power (which is also available with G45 chipsets... though why you'd want G45 over GF9300 is a tough question to answer; oh, right: Centrino 2!) You're right: Centrino as a brand is so powerful that NVIDIA can have the best solution in every way and still not see much uptake. We'll have to see how it goes.... Reply
danielgr - Thursday, October 16, 2008 - linkIt's funny... it seems that it's always the same, and Apple has to introduce something for people to get to know it...

Gary Key - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkWe will be updating the article shortly. It has been an all night meeting marathon with the motherboard suppliers and NVIDIA trying to get answers on the AHCI problems, memory performance, and other minor items we discovered. ASUS sent us a new BIOS that we will test in a couple of hours, the AHCI problems have diminished greatly after yet another clean install of Vista SP1 (still have some minor pauses during heavy drive load), and we feel safe enough in taking a detailed look at the motherboards in a couple of days.
That said, NVIDIA surprised us with this chipset, probably the best one (all around) on the market for HTPC setups and casual gaming performance now. That is not to take anything away from the AMD platforms, personally I am running a 8750 and GF8200 hooked up to a new 52" LCD, if the price was right, the 9350e is a really sweet processor that will greatly lower power requirements on the AMD side, as we will see next week. Hopefully, AMD will respond with multi-channel LPCM output in their IG chipset. If that is not important, the 780g/790GX is great. ;) Reply
Zstream - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - link30% cpu utilization for a HTPC is good? Umm, I guess I come from a different perspective then.
Quite a few HTPC's are for streaming, so with this chipset it is almost impossible to stream data while watching what you are streaming.
Did I misunderstand something here or what? Reply
Badkarma - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkWhy would it be impossible to stream media? Most media streams are only a fraction of 100Mbit ethernet, even a full Blu-ray disc rarely hits 20+Mbit. The CPU usage charts for network traffic in this review are for full thoroughput tests, the NIC will never come close to pushing that much traffic when streaming media. Reply
Zstream - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkI stream 300mbs/sec all the time on my HTPC with my gig Intel nic. I guess you never streamed across multiple devices. It is called VOD, if you do not believe me look at the newest tivo. Reply

His 11 shots are the most by an NHL player in a season-opening game since Pavel Bure registered 11 shots for the Vancouver Canucks on Oct. 3, 1997 vs. Anaheim.
-Dan Girardi led all skaters with 31:25 of ice time and tied for the team-high with three blocked shots in the contest. Girardi has logged a league leading 30:51 of ice time per game, and leads the Rangers with five blocked shots through two games.

"Behold, my child, the Nordic man, and be as like him as you can," exhorted Hilaire Belloc in Talking (and Singing) of the Nordic man.
That was before "Taking the Temperature", a recent report from Insight Investment and Ethix SRI Advisors, found the 40 largest companies in the Nordic region are lagging significantly behind their European peers in their management of climate change risks and opportunities.
Am I the only one who thought, along with Belloc, the Nordic region was full of hearty outdoor types who would understand the importance of climate change? Apparently, although the companies surveyed are trying to sort out their governance and management with respect to climate change, most of them expect to increase their greenhouse gas emissions in the future.
It is particularly ironic given the commitment of the Norwegian government pension fund to ethical and sustainable investment. Clearly the domestic fund, which invests solely in Norwegian securities, has failed to demand sufficient of its investee companies.

Pet of the Week Entry Form
The 'toxically narcissistic' Democrat who fooled Iowa
, Daily Times Herald Columnist
Tuesday, April 12, 2011
Dirt bag.
A yellowed dictionary is within arm's length, as is a thesaurus. And I have a 20-year career as a writer, full of analogies and published articles on which to draw, for terms to describe John Edwards. I've interviewed him personally as well. But after you read Andrew Young's "The Politician," the dishy but solidly sourced insider's account of the political career of the former vice presidential candidate, the word hanging in the fore, refusing to give up its front row seat in my assessment of Edwards' actions is "dirt bag."
Young, whose veracity is in doubt in this sad chronicling because he was complicit in The Big Lie to protect Edwards, saved emails, voice mails and other sources with regard to John Edwards and Elizabeth Edwards and the pol's paramour, the extraordinarily eccentric Rielle Hunter.
A graduate of the University of North Carolina and the Wake Forest University School of Law whose own father was the chaplain at Duke University, Young served in Edwards' Senate and presidential races as a go-to guy, a fixer, a trouble-shooter of matters large and small. His takeaway on Edwards: a "remorseless and predatory creature" and "toxically narcissistic."
"No one in the world knows more about these events, and more about the real John and Elizabeth Edwards, than I do," Young writes. "I was the man who took the bullet for then-candidate Edwards by falsely claiming I had fathered the child he had with a mysterious woman named Rielle Hunter."
The career-ending revelations about Edwards, who fathered a child with his lover, Rielle Hunter, and engaged in reckless behavior during pursuit of the highest offices in the nation, should be particularly offensive to Iowans. Iowans helped make Edwards. Yes, he was elected to the U.S. Senate in North Carolina, but Edwards earned national prominence during the 2004 and 2008 presidential campaigns in Iowa, coming in a close second in the first contest and earning a spot as John Kerry's running mate.
If we only knew then what Young did then and reveals in the book, there would have been no then in Iowa for Edwards.
During the 2008 campaign, a reporter for The Washington Post visited Carroll and asked me what I thought of Edwards.
"He's a clichéd character from a John Grisham novel," I said. "And no one ever reads a John Grisham novel twice." (Which was my way of predicting that he wouldn't come out of Iowa a winner in the battle with then U.S. Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.)
According to Young, Edwards, who famously billed himself as a son of a millworker, was actually an elitist who wanted nothing to do with his past, save for the expedience of political backstory.
"I know I'm the people's senator, but do I have to hang out with them?" Young reports Edwards saying in several variations.
Young said Edwards also clearly believed he was the only practical Democratic candidate in 2008 because he wasn't black or female.
"A black or a woman can't win the general election," Young reports Edwards saying.
During that campaign, Edwards warned Iowa voters about what he perceived as the perils of nominating a candidate who down-ticket Democrats in some parts of the nation may decline to appear with in their own campaign events.
Speaking in Carroll, Edwards made the observation after saying there are "three of us who are most likely to be the Democratic nominee."
"It's not just a question of who you like," Edwards said at an event I covered. "It's not just a question of whose vision you are impressed with. It's also a question of who is most likely to win the general election. It's a pretty simple thing. Who will be a stronger candidate in the general election here in the State of Iowa? Who can go to other parts of the country when we have swing candidates running for the Congress and the Senate? Is the candidate going to have to say, 'Don't come here. Don't come here and campaign with me. I can't win if you campaign with me.'"
He added later, "I think it's just a reality that I can campaign anyplace in America."
In an interview I did with him after the event, Edwards strongly rejected the suggestion that his comments about being the most electable candidate in the Democratic field were a way of saying America won't vote for a black man (Obama) or woman (Clinton) without actually saying it — to a largely white, elderly rural audience in Carroll with no national media present.
If Young is to be believed on this, we know what Edwards meant.
As a former congressional staffer myself I'm generally repulsed by insider "tell-alls." Our leaders need to be able to trust staff members so open dialogue and debate can occur without them worrying every errant word or bad idea will be chronicled in an aide's memoir. But Edwards so betrayed trust that Young essentially owed its publication to the nation. John Edwards put his party and nation at risk, a selfishness that demands a lifetime ban from the levers of power.
There's just so much not to like about Edwards.
Here is what Young reports: Disgustingly, Edwards used the story of his teenage son Wade's death in court cases and campaigns. John Edwards once wrecked a staff member's car and just returned it to the person's driveway without saying anything. He was late to events in Iowa because he was trying to manage his affair with Rielle Hunter via cellphone. And once she became pregnant, he persuaded a loyal staffer, Young, a husband and father, to falsely claim paternity in order to protect his chances of winning the Iowa caucuses — only after urging that an abortion resolve the embarrassment.
The Youngs helped squirrel away Hunter (funded by big donors) in Santa Barbara and North Carolina and elsewhere. She made the mistake of leaving a tape behind with the Youngs during a move.
"As soon as I pressed 'play,' we saw an image of a man — John Edwards — and a naked pregnant woman, photographed from the navel down, engaged in a sexual encounter," Young writes.
As much as anything, Obama saved the Democratic Party from John Edwards.
For her part, Elizabeth Edwards, generally a celebrated figure for her role in the campaigns and losing battle with cancer, sent some awfully horrible emails and made some terrible phone calls, aiming her anger with Edwards at staff members and others. The Young book reveals her as pathologically ambitious and cruel.
"We thought you should know that this is not Andrew's first woman," Elizabeth Edwards says, cackling, to Young's wife, Cheri, on one saved voice message.
There are more such documented anecdotes in the 368-page New York Times best-seller.
"As a youth John Edwards had been the 'golden boy' in his family and in his town," Young writes. "Sometimes, I wondered if he had been loved too much back then and somehow got the idea that the rules might not apply to him the way they did to everyone else."
In the end, the book confirmed my instincts about the Edwards campaign being a masquerade ball.
Young is a solid writer with paced prose, making "The Politician" immensely readable.
And it should be read as a cautionary tale for what happens with our cult-of-personality politics. We would do better to search for what we believe about policies and priorities and scrub this dangerous expectation, this child-like embrace of politician-as-savior from our elections.

Edited copy!
Also read the Andrew Young book. I found it disgusting, creepy and more a testament to the slime that was Andrew Young than anything he had to say about either John or Elizabeth. To claim that Young "saved" the nation or the Democratic Party from Edwards and "owed this book to the nation" is ludicrous. Would we have been better off to have been "saved" from nearly all our prior Presidents as well?
Andrew Young and his wife Cherie are nothing but political predators that have used a very unsavory event, capitalized and expanded on it for their own financial gain. They even admit it. Young says he needs the money to provide for his family. He might try getting a job! Of course, considering how he betrayed his last employers, trust might be an issue.
The reader would have to be blind not to understand that all much huge amounts of money were spent predominately on the Young family. Just suppose if Young had refused to take the money? But obviously, that was not something either he or his wife considered. It is just amazing that he is able to salve his conscience at the expense of his boss whose predicament gained him so much reward.
It is a very sad day in America when a tale of such slime by a traitorous money grubber is held up as any kind of beneficial lesson for the public John Edwards has been more than adequately punished for whatever his transgressions may have been. Elizabeth is no longer here to speak out on her own behalf and Mr. Young and his family has achieved enormous financial gain. And they stand to gain even more with movie rights.
I guess the real lesson in all this is that one can achieve true success if one is willing to make lemonade out of the lemons life offers to others. And one must be certain to sweeten it well with continuous transfusions of money earned by others.

Nicely written. Perhaps validation of democracy, or at least the caucus process, which I participated in for the first time in 2008.

Daily Comments
Aiming at those who are whipping up artificial tension between Armenia and Turkey, Mr. Adnan Oktar is constantly mentioning that we should leave the pain of the past, in the past, and if we look to the past, we would be opening the gates of enmity between Armenia and Turkey; instead of this, we should come together and start a new era.
Thus, our President Mr. Erdogan made a speech about the Armenian issues, saying that it is not acceptable to bring up hostility from the past and cause new conflicts, and it is also not useful for us while building our new common future.
Capital Daily: April 9th, 2009
ADNAN OKTAR: In an amicable manner, it wouldn't be appropriate to search what happened in the past. We will leave the past in the past. If we start looking to the past, we would be opening the gates of enmity and hostility. We have left behind the slaughters in Asala, the Khojaly Massacres, the clashes in Anatolia. These were the sins, the affront of those who lived in the past. Now there is a new generation, and this generation has no relation to the things that happened in the past. We don't have the mindset of the 1800's, the 1900's: There was ignorance at that time, there was a huge affect of Darwinism and materialism. Now we are in the era of the Internet. There is no reason to bring up the ignorance of the old times. Allah commands us to forgive in the Qur'an; we must forgive what was done to us and we give our blessings. There is forgiveness and tolerance also in the Bible. Our Armenian brothers may forgive us if there is any injustice between us, they may give their blessings so we can start a brand new era so that we may live the love, brotherhood, and friendship to the fullest. They have separated us artificially, so we must overcome this separation. We must come together and build a beautiful and bright future.
Arm İnfo Independent News Agency: April 9th, 2009
ADNAN OKTAR: Now, everybody should stop counting the bones. If we start counting bones then it would be like laying the foundation of an enmity that will progress for hundreds of years. It means that the people who bring these subjects up, they want enmity. Bringing up the issues by saying what has happened in 1915, how people were slaughtered in Asala, what have happened in Khojaly don't bring love, brotherhood, friendship. We will leave the past in the past, insha'Allah. There is forgiveness in the Qur'an. Allah tells us in the Qur'an that it is good to forgive even the murderers. There is forgiveness and tolerance also in the Bible. We choose the way of forgiveness. We give our blessings. Our Armenian brothers may forgive us if there is any injustice between us, they may give their blessings, so we can start a brand new era. We don't want to be stuck in the past. We don't care about the past. Even if we look back to the past, the people who did these massacres don't exist right now, there is a new generation. Are we going to pay off the massacres in Asala from our blameless Armenian brothers? How can that be? We don't have the mindset of the 1800's, the 1900's. We have the mindset of the 2000s. We act with love, forgiveness, tolerance and mercy. We are looking to the future, we are thinking about what we can do in the future. We would like to build a bright future. We would like our business, art, cultural and scientific works to be mutual. We need each other in science, art and technology in every issue. Why aren't we together? Lets built universities, factories, science centers together. Let's develop the science and art. Iron curtains and walls made of stone are in the past, now we don't want them anymore. The future will be very beautiful and bright for the Turkish nation and our Armenian brothers.
İnternet Haber: April 23rd, 2014
About the Armenian issue in 1915, President Erdogan said: 'It is not acceptable to bring up hostility from the past and cause new conflicts, and it is also not useful for us while building our new common future.'

I began a small project earlier tonight which looks at what I'll call denominational quotes. These quotes all refer to some higher order construct such as God, Reality, Nature, and Universe. The purpose is to compare the "meat" of them. The "point" beyond the terms used. Many of these quotes come from different sources which appear to have different belief systems. This is not a study intended so much to prove anything, rather something which I am doing for a larger project. Below is what I've amassed so far, though I have not included quotations which I have not found a suitable equivalent for in other denominations. I am also interested, and have included, quotations on the general theme of the study. The first quote in the series is of such a nature and triggered the inspiration for the project.
I believe in God, only I spell it Nature. – Frank Lloyd Wright
The first act of awe, when man was struck with the beauty or wonder of Nature, was the
first spiritual experience. - Henryk Skolimowski
I've always regarded Nature as the clothing of God. - Alan Hovhaness
The imagination of Nature is far, far greater than the imagination of man. - Richard Feynman
Man - a figment of God's imagination. - Mark Twain
nothing happens to anybody which he is not fitted by Nature to bear. - Marcus Aurelius
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. - Holy Bible (Corinthians 10:13)
See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. - Deuteronomy 30:15-16
Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative. - H. G. Wells
All things are artificial, for Nature is the art of God. - Thomas Browne
Source of Wisdom
Look deep into Nature, and then you will understand everything better. - Albert Einstein
My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding— indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. - Proverbs 2:1-6
It is the nature of truth in general, as of some ores in particular, to be richest when most superficial. - Edgar Allan Poe
If one way be better than another, that you may be sure is nature's way. - Aristotle
Everything in Nature contains all the powers of Nature. Everything is made of one hidden stuff. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
For in Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through Him and for Him. - Colossians 1:16
To be admitted to Nature's hearth costs nothing. None is excluded, but excludes himself. You have only to push aside the curtain. - Henry David Thoreau
Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. - 2 Corinthians 3

Employers seek individuals who clearly articulate their value proposition. Coaching keeps you focused and confident during a complicated and impersonal job search process
Bo as Chief Principal of Human Capital Solutions has been a tremendous resource to me personally and professionally. He and his team work hard, have high integrity and get the job done and done well! I would recommend Bo to anyone with a challenging project needing creative solutions to drive the right outcome for your business.
Bo and his firm were referred to me a couple of years ago by a colleague at the time that used to work with him in the past. My experience with him has been outstanding. His Values, High integrity, Deep understanding of the business world and its impact in our particular industry, and his focus in excellence in every step of the process, makes him a very Trustworthy and respectable business partner. I strongly recommend Bo as a Business Consultant and as a person.
I want to thank Bo and the Human Capital Solutions team for all of the help and support assisting me with my search. Bo and his company are the most professional and involved recruiters I have worked with. It has been a pleasure getting to know them, I believe we have a long lasting relationship and good friendship starting.
I first met Bo Burch in 2006 when I engaged the services of Human Capital Solutions to recruit two senior executives for my early stage business. He drove an impressive process to define the requirements for the positions, identify highly qualified candidates and ultimately closing the deals. It was an excellent experience for all parties involved as Bo brought a real personal touch to the process. Four years later, I had a sales position to fill, with extremely difficult requirements to match, and I once again turned to Bo and Human Capital Solutions to get the job done. We refined the spec for the position several times until it precisely defined the requirements and, after an extensive search, we found the right fit for the job. Bo has a great personality that enables him in his business. At the end of the day, Bo delivers high quality results at a fair value. Over the years Bo and I have become good friends and I highly recommend Bo to fulfill your next recruiting needs.
Bo has an extensive skill set and background in Human Resources from his years working with national and multi-national organizations in a variety of sectors. Bo's personal touch, insight and process focus enables his firm to match executives with positions to form beneficial professional relationships; not only for the client companies, but for the individuals he serves as well. Bo and his company provide executive search services of the highest professional quality.
I worked with Bo over 10 years ago at Masco Corporation when I was an internal consultant and provided interpersonal skills training for his Merillat plant leaders in Las Vegas. Bo had a good intuitive sense of the issues in his workforce and worked closely with the plant's leadership to address them. Training can often be window dressing, but Bo clearly assessed the need, set the expectations for the training and reinforced the skills when his leaders returned to work. This hands-on experience no doubt enhances Bo's effectiveness as a recruiter and consultant.
Bo is a strong and effective Strategic HR Consultant and Recruiter with experience and knowledge in multiple industries. His company is quite appropriately named, because he delivers solutions! My recruiting firm often partners with Bo's company on consulting engagements, specifically in direct recruiting. I'm very pleased to count Bo among my most trusted and valuable business connections.
I have worked with Bo during some pretty difficult economic times. During a Reduction-In-Force, it is a difficult balance to protect your employer and attend to the needs of individual employees. Bo complied with company policy and legal statutes with compassion and sensitivity for all those affected. That is one of the reasons I have continued contact with Bo in his current position. I am currently transitioning from technical management to HR and frequently ask Bo for his opinion and guidance. I know that he truly cares about both sides of the staffing equation and looks for win-win solutions – an attitude I respect and admire. Bo gives freely of his time in pro-bono activities and is equally as generous with his colleagues and friends. Any client is fortunate to be working with Bo, a man of integrity and compassion with a strong moral compass.
I would highly recommend HCS as an executive search firm. Bo Burch of HCS was recommended to me by a Human Resources colleague several years ago. In my experience with Bo and this firm, I want to highlight the following points; They do their "due diligence" in gaining an adequate understanding of the position requirements, company culture and any other nuances associated with the role. They never wasted my time by bombarding me with resumes that "might" fit-the-bill. They thoroughly screened candidates and only submitted those that were a good fit and truly qualified for the job. All that said… I can say without hesitation I fully intend to continue to work with HCS in the future as hiring needs arise.
I wanted to take the time to fully endorse Bo Burch and the team at Human Capital Solutions. I collaborated with Bo and the team during my tenure with the Dr Pepper Company when we supported Organizational Design change with Choice Beverages in the Carolinas. Human Capital Solutions developed strategic alternatives that were value adding to the client which resulted in hiring and designing a high quality leadership team which drove company performance via increased top line and bottom line results in the marketplace. Bo and his team are a client first, first class organization that will help you achieve your strategic and financial objectives while securing the best qualified candidates to support your business agenda. Human Capital Solutions utilizes extensive research techniques to identify qualified and exceptional talent that will add value to your team. Human Capital Solutions will certainly benefit you and your company as together you partner to hire the right people for the right job at the right time.

- We could do, but I think the problem stems from what is known as a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor that Wikia introduced to allow those with limited editing experience to utilize templates and infoboxes. I think those editors do not use the quote template at all, so a warning on that page would likely not be seen. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 13:32, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

When deciding where to stay when visiting Washington DC for the NFRA Convention you should definitely consider our lovely hotel lodging in DC where you will always find the best hotels and bed and breakfast lodging deals.
If you're planning to attend the NFRA Convention which takes place from October 7th through the 9th at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, why don't you take a look at our conveniently located boutique Dupont Circle bed and breakfast? The Marriott Wardman Park Hotel is just a few blocks away (about 15 minutes by foot) from our lovely b&b in Washington dc.
