Haha... it's hard to search SitePoint for "media.net", the search seems to split it into "media" and "net"... which is kind of useless for search. I hope this hasn't been asked too recently.
I've been approached to try Media.net ads on one of my sites. I'm hesitant to spend the time (and missed AdSense revenue). I've tried a couple non-AdSense networks in the past, and they have proven to be utterly pathetic in comparison to AdSense. Of course the Media.net rep claims that they'll have "good CPM"... but I've heard that story before.
Anyway, I'm hoping for some advice from others. Have you tried Media.net's ads? It looks like they're contextual... is that still banned on the same page as AdSense?
Hi LC -
I work for Media.net.
I know you're looking for personal experiences from Media.net users here. But I can tell you that a number of our publishers outperform the other "top" networks.
You'll also find out ads on a number of large sites including Yahoo.
As for being able to use our ads alongside other contextual ad networks, I'm not aware of an ad network with prohibits this. There are restrictions on ads that look the same from competing ad networks, but you should not run into this issue with Media.net.
Hey guys... I found this post on Google and joined the forum
I have been recommending Media.net as an alternative to adsense for some time now on other forums. Although I did recieve 1 small payment from them. My account was recently banned.
Dear Publisher,
We have identified your site as one that continues to violate our publisher guidelines and create significant risks to our advertiser interests. Accordingly, we would like to inform you that your Media.net account has been suspended with immediate effect and all payments due to you are frozen.
This email has been sent to you by the Media.net Compliance Team. Please do not respond to this email. For further review or any questions pertaining to your account suspension, please contact your Account Manager.
The payments due are from a month ago and part of this month totaling almost $700.00. I also noticed that at first your account manager(s) are very attentive and answer you within several hours. I liked this as it is a huge change compared to adsense. Over recent weeks I noticed that my account manager and others were not available at all. The other day I got this message from their Compliance Team....
Let me first say that all the traffic to the sites that I used were 100% from search engines. No poor paid traffic, no social... all highly targeted traffic.
A friend of mine put me in contact with Richard B, the head of their publisher relations team. I called him today and was pretty much blown off. I wanted to ask what it was that caused them to ban my account ( It was hard to understand him as he had a thick Indian accent). He pretty much said something about emailing the spam team and he would get back to me.
Anyway... I am not saying that they are scammers or anything, just saying it is weird that when I was about to get a nice sized payment from them that they suddenly decided that my account was "continuously to violating our publisher guidelines and creating significant risks to our advertiser interests".
Just a little heads up. I highly doubt I will hear from them again.
Kegnum -
It is extremely important for us to ensure that the traffic quality on our network is high.
We have an appeals process in the case where a publisher believes they didn't violate any terms. Please PM me your details and I will be happy to appeal on your behalf.
As far as traffic goes, quality doesn't get much better than 100% search engine traffic. If your advertisers are unhappy with conversions... you may want to work on your system. Been an adsense publisher since 1998 and have yet to have a problem.
Yes, I'd like to look in to your case specifically. Can you PM me your information?
R U sure?google first started in 1998 but adsense did not come to life untll 2001-2002
What are your payment methods for publishers?
I am sure they support Paypal.
I don't think there's any benefit in resurrecting this thread after so long, especially as the OP never bothered to return. Thanks to those who contributed.
Thread closed.

Pat F I think book would have been better with more color pictures and without the hand written recipes. Was hoping for a pizza recipe. Nicely done:)
colnago77 Daniel,
I'm not sure if you know of me or not, but I have written several
books on Italian Americans. My latest project is "Farms, Factories
and families: Italian american Women of Connecticut," and I had the
good fortune to have interviewed your mother for the book in 2008.
The interview we recorded was quite moving and she spoke at length and
in great detail about her life growing up in northern Italy and her
family's escape from the Germans.
My books (my website is www.anthonyriccio.com) are collections of oral
histories illustrated with photographs of the storytellers, the main
charcters in all my books.
I would very much like to include a photograph of your mother where
her story will appear. (I've alraedy transcribed the interview and
placed it into the text of the book) What would work beautifully with
her narrative would be any photograph of Georgina and her family taken
while in Italy.
If this is something you can help me with, I'm sure it would add
something quite lasting to your mother's legacy.
lizvitale Thanks, Dan, for designating proceeds to the ALS Association -- the "Nonna" of this book lost her beloved husband died of ALS many years ago, & she worked to raise awareness, funds, & support for other families affected by ALS. She would be so proud, & must be smiling such a big happy smile!! And thank you to BLURB for featuring it!!!!! (written by Zia Lizzie)
Grey Heron Publishing A great book indeed.
The layout with the hand written index cards next to the printed recipe is classic.
I recognize recipes from many regions, the Risi e Bisi is classic Venetian, and the Roman-Jewish style artichokes (Carciofi alla Giudia), which she also seems to be holding on the cover, appear to have been prepared with great care.
A credit to your nonna to be sure.
julie harpum superb layout ... if this is old fashioned italian cooking the food would be superb too

LEESBURG, Fla. - An elderly woman's arm was severed Wednesday morning in an alligator attack described by Leesburg fire officials as "gruesome."
PHOTOS: Woman attacked by alligator in Leesburg
AUDIO: 911 call 1 | 2 (WARNING, Content may be graphic)
Carol Hough, 84, was attacked before 7 a.m. in the Helena Run Canal near Hubbard Street at the Cypress Creek Mobile Home Park off U.S. Highway 27 between Lake Harris and Lake Denham, law enforcement officials said.
Lake County sheriff's deputies said Hough was airlifted to Orlando Regional Medical Center. She was listed in stable condition.
"Initially, we were trying to put a rush on this because we thought we could get and save the arm, but it's past that point now," said Joy Hill, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokeswoman, who added that it's not known why Hough was in the canal.
Authorities said the gator had no body parts in its belly, but they are certain they have the right gator.
Lake County sheriff's officials said neighbor Delmas Zickefoose noticed Hough in the canal with a "significant arm injury" and jumped in to rescue her, but could not lift her out of the water. He kept Hough's head above water until authorities arrived, according to sheriff's officials.
"The only thing she had to say was, 'Where's Bob? Where's Bob? And that's her deceased husband who passed away two to three years ago,'" Zickefoose said.
Zickefoose told Local 6 News that Hough's right arm was severed near the bicep. Wildlife officials said a sweater and part of Hough's arm were recovered from the canal.
"I helped her get her back over to my dock and just held her there, realizing at that point her arm was gone," Zickefoose said. "Her arm was gone completely."
A FWC officer investigating the incident fired two shots at an alligator, striking it once. FWC captured a gator Wednesday afternoon, conducted a necropsy and found that it was the same gator that attacked Hough based on its size and it's lack of fear for humans.
In 2003, a 12-year-old boy was attacked and killed by a 10-foot alligator along the Dead River, which is on the opposite side of Lake Harris in Lake County.
Leesburg is located about 45 miles northwest of Orlando.
Experts tell Local 6 the time of year influences alligator's attitude.

A fire in a ute has caused major delays to ACT-bound traffic on Lanyon Drive in Hume this morning.
The blaze occurred about 100m east of the border between NSW and the ACT.
Traffic heading into Hume from NSW was delayed by lane closures for several hours.
The road has now reopened fully, but traffic remained slow at 8.30pm.
ACT Fire and Rescue attended the scene and the fire has been extinguished.
An ACT Policing spokeswoman said the fire is not believed to be suspicious.

MP Philip Davies has strongly criticised the Government's view that women criminals should not be sent to prison if possible.
Mr Davies, whose Shipley constituency includes Burley in Wharfedale and Menston, said a crime was a crime, whether committed by a male or a female, and showing leniency to women was unacceptable and sent out the wrong message.
"I would have hoped we all believe in equality between men and women," he said.
"Surely that must mean the courts should be gender- blind so that women offenders are treated in exactly the same way as men.
"It is a scandal that this is not happening."
Last month Ministry of Justice figures revealed in all categories of crimes men were more likely to be sent to prison than women.
The figures, uncovered by Mr Davies, also showed of 46,428 women tried for their first offences last year a total of 1,078 were sent to prison – 2.3 per cent.
In comparison 5.1 per cent of men – 6,490 of the 127,647 – went to jail.
Speaking in Justice Questions, Mr Davies challenged whether the figures were correct.
Justice Minister Jeremy Wright said: "It is always in the minds of the sentencers to try to avoid sentencing in particular female offenders to custody.
"Sometimes that is unavoidable and that is why we need to provide the necessary places in the female custodial estate."
Mr Davies added: "I am not sure how those who are most vocal on the issue of equality can be the same people who believe that women should be given more favourable treatment by the courts than men. I believe in true equality and sentences should be handed out irrespective of the gender or race or religion or sexuality of the offender," he said.
According to figures from the Howard League for Penal Reform: As of November 2012, the women's prison population stood at 4,141, 63 fewer than the previous year.
Between 2000 and 2010 the women's prison population increased by 26 per cent.
As of July 2012, 58 per cent of women entering prison served six months or less.

Then Krauthammer takes his potential breakthrough plan and … throws it all away, claiming, "Regrettably, there appears to be zero political will to undertake this kind of definitive solution." He winds up semi-endorsing the Rubio/McCain scheme, wrapping himself in the fig leaf it offers: That even if legalization is instant, those legalized won't be getting "green cards" and citizenship until some enforcement targets are met.
A few obvious questions:
1) Why is there "zero political will"? Has Krauthammer forgotten about the House? Why is he suddenly in awe of President Obama's ability to mobilize public pressure on Speaker Boehner to bring an across-the-board amnesty bill to the floor when Boehner's caucus prefers a step-by-step (Dream Act + high-tech visas, etc.) approach? I'm reminded of the 2007 amnesty debate, when a Beltwayish pessimism gripped conservatives–'There's going to be a bill,' they told themselves. 'We might as well make it as conservative a bill as possible." But there wasn't necessarily going to be a bill. The bill could be stopped–and it was stopped, by an outside-the-Beltway outcry. "Moving the bill to the right" only made beating it a bit more difficult.
That's the alternative Krauthammer misses: If there's "zero political will" for his (rightly) preferred solution now, there might be if the current amnesty-first push fails again. Granted, it won't be as easy to stop it this time, given GOP-elite hysteria over the Latino vote. But last time it failed to even get a majority for cloture in the Senate. This time it will be closer–but Krauthammer is throwing in the towel when the game is tied at the half. (And of course, by rationalizing the Rubio bill, he makes it a little bit more likely the game will be lost.)

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/8/2014 (1094 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Judy Wasylycia-Leis promised to restore ethics and integrity to city hall, but Sunday afternoon she wrapped her arms around the man who financed a scheme to steal a provincial election.
Wasylycia-Leis had posted a picture on her Twitter account with Taras Sokolyk, who 20 years ago, as chief of staff to Tory premier Gary Filmon, directed funding for a vote-rigging scheme in the 1995 provincial election.
The dirty trick resulted in a provincial inquiry in 1998, where it was revealed that Sokolyk had taken Tory campaign donations and secretly given them to an independent candidate in the Interlake with the hope of stealing votes away from the NDP candidate. Sokolyk had initially lied to investigators, but confessed at the inquiry to his role in the sleazy scheme. The revelations helped turn public opinion against Filmon's PC government and ushered in Gary Doer and the NDP.
New PC leader Stuart Murray secretly hired Sokolyk as a campaign adviser in 2002, but was forced to let him go after party insiders revealed he had covertly joined the team.
Sokolyk has since found success in the private sector, holding CEO positions with Canad Inns and Shape Foods, a flax processing operation in Brandon.
The photo of the smiling Sokolyk and Wasylycia-Leis, taken at a community event marking Ukrainian independence at city hall, was on her Twitter account for a only a couple of hours Sunday afternoon before it was removed.
Wasylycia-Leis said she regretted posting the photo and removed it — not because it questioned her judgment to be photographed with an individual who displayed a lack of integrity and ethics during an election campaign — because it revived memories of the scandal and could have been hurtful to Sokolyk, someone she said she's known and worked with in the Ukrainian community for several years.
"I regret doing (posting the photo) it…. and I pulled the tweet just because I don't want to cause any more embarrassment to Taras Sokolyk," Wasylycia-Leis said during a campaign event Monday morning to publicize her support for a variety of crime-prevention initiatives. "He's made a mistake in the past, he's paid for it and by tweeting (the photo), we've allowed for this kind of chatter on Twitter."
Wasylycia-Leis said she had forgotten about the 1995 scandal and Sokolyk's role in it when she ran into him Sunday. She said the scandal is history and didn't want to revive it, adding she should have known posing for a photo with Sokolyk would have raised eyebrows.
"With hindsight, perhaps it would have been best had if I didn't tweet it," she said, but added the photo was meant to celebrate a major Ukrainian community event. "It has nothing to do with the past."
Retired political studies professor Paul Thomas, who is writing a paper on codes of ethics for politicians and political parties, said politicians have to be careful about their public image.
"We expect politicians to be ethical in their behavior and appearances matter as much as reality, and simply associating with people with a certain background can bring discredit to a politician," Thomas said, adding, however, that the vote-rigging scandal happened almost 20 years ago and, as Wasylycia-Leis said, Sokolyk paid the price for his role.
"Undoubtedly there are some warriors in the ranks of the New Democrats or the labour movement who still have a hate on for Taras Sokolyk, but I believe most voters will have forgotten about those events a long time ago," Thomas said. "Most people have gotten over his role in those events."
Wasylycia-Leis said she didn't think the incident undermines her own campaign or the loyalty of her campaign team and supporters.
"I regret doing this, from the point of view of opening up this chapter. I'm sure it's hurtful for Taras (Sokolyk), but I have no doubt that my team has any doubts about my integrity."

Staff were friendly and the food is excellent. We were upgraded to a Premier Suite which was fantastic. The rooms are beautiful and everything in the hotel looks new and well maintained. Service could be a little slow and it was frustrating that so many things they had on the menu were not actually availalbe (both food and wine)
I loved the beautiful white sand beach. We'ved booked a seaview room and the view from our balcony is fantastic. Staff memebrs were very friendly and helpful. This is one of the best hotel i've ever stayed in. The water sports activities charges are much more expensive compare to the local boat man provided the same services. and they wouldn't take groups under 4 people.
overall relaxed atmosphere, friendliness, location, food. The "rooms" are probably better at this; the "chalet" style lodings have bathrooms that should be a little bit cleaner. Still excellent value for money.
Very kind staffs, high level hotel residents, and the perfect beach. Not many restaurants and bars, some noisy guests.
Location, comfort, staff courtesy and efficiency. no, everything very good
Good location. Excellent beach and sea. Beautiful hotel area and seaview. Comfortable room. Very friendly staff. Hard balcony chaise longue.
Perfect surroundings to expensive food drink and room not much choice but to eat and drink in the resort
The seaview is very nice, blue sky & clean beach and sea , service is good , staffs are friendly, i enjoy my days in there.
We were upgraded to the garden chalet upon arrival which was a very pleasant surprise. The beach was beautiful and private with white soft sand and crystal clear water. The resort was very well maintained and clean and we had a great time snorkelling ! Will surely go back again !

Glenn Beck denies his "half-human, half-monkey" roots
Blog ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
Glenn Beck is the descendant of a tree-dwelling primate.
So are you. So am I. Around 4.4 million years ago, a small hominin primate called Ardipithecus ramidus climbed down out of one of the dwindling number of trees on the African plains and walked upright on the ground, a trick made possible by the unique bone structures of its feet and pelvis. The decades of research into the Ardipithecus fossils and their transitional features shows how our primate forbears made the shift from arboreal locomotion (swinging from branches) to bipedalism. It is a crowning achievement of anthropology and a testament to the human capacity for discovery.
But to Glenn Beck, who claims to revel in education and the pursuit of the truth, it's all a bunch of crap.
Where to begin...
Let's start with Beck saying "I haven't seen a half-monkey, half-person yet." Too true! The half-monkey, half-person hasn't been discovered, likely because it doesn't exist. This is a mutation (evolution puns!) of the "missing link" straw man. Or straw monkey-man. Whatever. Anyway, anthropologists don't waste their time looking for "missing links." Instead, they search out transition features in hominin fossils. As noted above, Ardipithecus ramidus is unique in that it has pelvic and foot bones that are capable of both arboreal and bipedal locomotion. They weren't "half-human, half-monkey" -- they were neither.
Moving on, let's examine this observation from Beck flunky Pat Gray: "And they've never found the [inaudible] species that developed from ape to man and they've claimed to over and over and over. And then when you bring it up it's like 'OK, now we have Lucy!' Well, a while ago you had Piltdown Man, which for 40 years was considered to be the missing link, and then proven a hoax!"
Also true! Piltdown Man, "discovered" in 1912, was proven to be a hoax. In 1953. In the interim, archaeologists have discovered what's known in the scientific community as "other stuff," including, as Gray mentions, "Lucy," the Australopithecus afarensis fossil unearthed in Ethiopia in 1974. Lucy was a major discovery because that little fossil demonstrated that primates had been bipedal for at least 3 million years. What Gray fails to establish is what, exactly, the Piltdown hoax has to do with Lucy. The answer, of course, is nothing. But Gray wants you to believe that evolutionary science can't be trusted because of one century-old hoax.
Lastly, let's examine Beck's contention that truth in science is self-evident:
BECK: They have to make you care. They have to force it down your throat. When anyone has to force it, it's a problem. You didn't have to force that the world was round. You didn't have to.
GRAY: No, because it's true.
BECK: Right. Truth is truth. You don't have to force the truth. You just keep adding evidence and evidence and evidence and evidence until it becomes self-evident.
"Truth is truth." Truthier words have never been spoken. Unfortunately for Beck, the truth often does have to be forced. Let's expand upon Beck's example of a self-evident scientific truth, the earth's sphericity. The greatest scientific minds of the ancient and Medieval worlds did indeed know as a solid fact that the earth is spherical. They also knew as a solid fact that it was the fixed center of the universe. The self-evident truth of geocentricity was clung to so ardently that two of the world's greatest scientific minds -- Copernicus and Galileo -- were persecuted by the Catholic Church for "forcing" their truth of heliocentricity "down the throat" of everyone else.
I guess what all this comes down to is a choice. You can believe the people who dedicate their lives to expanding the scope of human knowledge and discovering our origin as a species, or you can believe the guy who thinks the arctic ice caps are melting because "heat rises" to the north.
Your choice.

Did you know?
The Northern Cape town of Richmond boasts a rare horse museum.
With our plethora of diverse cultures, it's little wonder that we have many cultural museums in South Africa. Besides the wider known national and provincial institutions, there are countless exhibitions throughout the country, in small towns, in townships and in rural areas. Some of them come in the form of cultural villages, with reconstructed traditional homesteads. Here they demonstrate aspects of traditional life.
Cape Town, the Mother City, holds a number of South African cultural museums, many managed by Iziko Museums. One especially colourful one is in the Muslim neighbourhood of Bo-Kaap. Others include house musuems such as Koopmans-De Wet House, Bertram House and Groot Constantia.
Another culture worth examining in Cape Town is that of the coloured community. Part of their story (and that of other groups too) is related at the District Six Museum, in the context of apartheid and its policies of segregation.
Two other cultural influences showcased in Cape institutions are the French and the Afrikaners. The French came to the Cape some 300 years ago as Huguenot refugees and although they have long assimilated into the general population, their influence is still felt. The Afrikaner culture is very much alive and still being shaped, as is evident at the Afrikaans Language Monument and Museum in Paarl.
Johannesburg represents the country's largest melting pot, and is the location of one of the most wide-ranging of South African culture museums, Museum Africa, which brings to riveting life all those cultures that poured onto the Reef in search of gold.
In KwaZulu-Natal the Zulu culture is iconic, and a museum that brings its customs and traditions to the fore is the KwaZulu Cultural Museum at Ondini, an area rich in battlefield history.
Even in South Africa's heartland, the vast Karoo, there are any number of cultural museums that tell the story of its diverse peoples. Graaff-Reinet, in particular, has a collection of well-maintained cultural museums and smaller towns like Richmond have kept their historic collections. You will even find well-kept collections on many of the guest farms scattered throughout the Great and Little Karoo.

recipes for boston butt, shredded pork for burritos
Tue Feb 03, 2004 8:17 pm
I have already made some relativity good bbq pork for sandwiches using a butt ,now i would like to make some to be used in burritos or tocos, ya know like they use in mexican resturants. Would i just use a sothwestern rub and cook low-slow, mabey with some misquite smoke. Anybody cooked a butt like this befor. Thanks for the input

Damascus, Maryland
A local Mexican place takes, and I kid you not.
1 bone in butt (makes it easier to pull if you have a handle)
Lightly slash all over 1/4" or so
Rub w/olive oil and sprinkle with Costco, Sam's or BJ's bulk taco seasoning. (this is the kid you not part. Nothing exotic at all)
Slow roast/smoke roast whatever. A heavy smoke flavor is not needed.
Mesquite will easily overpower any other flavors in a burrito.
I start with lump add mesquite chunks for the first 45 to 60 minutes and replenish with just lump until the meat is done.
Try putting a couple of whole unpeeled white onions and a couple of heads of de-papered garlic (just rub off the loose skins to expose each cloves individual segment) an hour and a half or so before you expect the pork to be done. You can always leave them in the cooker if they are not quite soft while you let the meat rest and are pulling it.
A half hour before it's done I throw a oiled and seasoned red and green bell pepper in close to the heat to char a little.
If you are adding refried beans to your burrito heat them in the smoker towards the latter half of the cooking time stirring every now and then until heated. It's amazing how much flavor the beans will pick up.
Take the roasted garlic squeeze it out of the skin and smear it on the tortilla and sprinkle with finely chopped cilantro. Hack up the onions and the peppers into a pretty fine mince, mix in with beans throw on some pork, roll up and lick your fingers clean.
Open a couple of Tecate's (I use a 1/2 Liter mug) and lick your fingers clean.
DARN IT! Now I'm droolin' again!
Tue Feb 03, 2004 9:19 pm
well done
Cook it the traditional way; a southwestern rub will defiantly enhance the flavor. But any rub with cumin and chili will work. I prefer ground Ancho chili (it gives it more authentic taste).
Once it's done and shreded, that's when you will flavor it. This is what I use:
6-8 dry whole Ancho chili peppers
1 tsp cumin
¼ cup of limejuice
¼ cup cider vinegar
½ cup chopped cilantro (fresh)
1 small can of Chipotle (smoked Jalapeno peppers)- this is optional, chipotle peppers are usually spicy hot. Adjust based on your preference.
3 cloves of garlic-minced
½ red onion- minced
½ cup bell pepper or peblano pepper- chopped
¼ tsp brown sugar
3 tbs olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste.
Seed and stem the chili peppers and soak them in warm water overnight. Drain the peppers and place them in a stockpot. Cover the peppers with water and bring to slow simmer until soft. Drain the peppers and place them in a blender or food processor with the vinegar, lime juice, cumin, cilantro, chipotle(if using), and brown sugar. Process the mixture until smooth. If you like smoother sauce, you can strain it. If you prefer the sauce a little thinner, add some of the water you used to boil the peppers.
In a saucepan, place the olive oil and sauté the onions, bell peppers, and garlic until soft. Add the pepper mixture and stir until warm. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Once the pork is ready and pulled, pour the chili mixture on it and keep it warm. Allow time for the pork to absorb the flavor from the sauce.
You can also place the pork (prior to shredding) in a foil pan and pour the chili mixture over it. Cover the pan and return the pork to the smoker, and let it brew in the sauce for about an hour. This option will give you a stronger flavor and makes the pork easy to shred. Return the meat to the sauce after shredding.
I hope this help.

OK! I take it all back!! BBZ I'll be doing your version as soon as the grill freakin' unfreezes from the cover.
One cover can't stand the heat and another cover cracks 3 days after you buy it if the temp. drops below 30.

Add a chili grill full of poppers and you're all set!!
Man that sounds good guys, I'll be trying that soon!
Yard - I've had the same problems for year, I went to a local tent and awning place and had them make me a custom cover out of a rubberized canvas. Aside from blowing off occasionally (my own fault because I don't use the eye holes I had put in it to tie it down) but as long as I let the grill cool a bit first the sucker has taken heat, snow, and now ice in stride. It cost more but the replacement cost will make up for it through its longeviety. I hope.

The water supply to 50 properties in the Seymour Road area of Trowbridge was switched off for over three hours on Saturday, after a burst water main flooded nearby British Row.
A team from Wessex Water attended the burst main in Seymour Road at 4.25pm and switched off the water to carry out repair work, before turning the water back on at around 8pm.
George Keast, Wessex Water spokesman, said: "The burst main was reported to us at 3.45pm and a team was on site by 4.25pm.
"The water supply to 50 properties was switched off for just over three hours to carry out the essential repair work.
"We apologise for any inconvenience caused to residents in the area and would like to thank them for their patience. We can confirm that the problem has now been fixed."

I just wanted to thank the Veterans of the past and current wars for allowing us to live in such a great place. A lot of people take for granted what our Veterans have done for us and they are not recognized enough for everything they have sacrificed. The families of the soldiers, past and present, should also be thanked for risking their loved ones to maintain our freedom. So if you see, Veteran thank him or her for what they have done for our country.
I salute you

UCSF Dentistry Dean John D.B. Featherstone, MSc, PhD, concluded the taping of the new Caries Management By Risk Assessment (CAMBRA) MOOC (massive open online course) for Coursera this week at the UCSF Parnassus campus' Teaching and Learning Center, and the course is set to launch on Monday, August 26.
The course, which currently has several thousand enrollees, will offer dental professionals and non-professionals alike access to the scientific basis for caries (dental decay) risk assessment and practice interventions.
The first of its kind in dentistry and oral health science and practice, the course will consist of lecture videos, containing integrated quiz questions for review, and additional features to prepare the learner to practice CAMBRA. Students will be asked to participate in discussion forums, and use their forum posts as the basis for peer-reviewed writing assignments. A final examination will be provided at the end of the course.
Says Dean Featherstone: "I hope to greatly expand awareness and understanding of CAMBRA and its application through Coursera, and to engage learners at all levels through interactivity and active participation. It's exciting to be pioneering what may prove to be a tool for exponentially increasing access to dental and oral health knowledge, and the UCSF School of Dentistry has the expertise and experience to provide that knowledge authoritatively."

Every new year brings New Year's resolutions, and for a lot of people that may include making plans to lose weight. For some that might mean making a commitment to go to the gym more often or start a new diet plan.
For those who have not been able to achieve significant weight loss through diet and exercise programs alone, weight-loss surgery may be a consideration.
Weight-loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, is for adults who are morbidly obese with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or greater. The surgery is also for adults with a BMI of 35 or more with two diseases or conditions such as diabetes, heart disease or sleep apnea.
A reliable way to determine whether a person has too much body fat is to calculate the ratio of their weight to their height squared. This ratio is called the body mass index. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute offers an online BMI calculator or simple BMI tables.
Losing weight for many people boils down to eating less and exercising more; however there are other factors that also play a role in obesity including age, genetics, psychological factors, medication and gender.
Findings published in January 2012 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services claimed that more than 35 percent of adults over age 20 were obese, with no significant difference between men and women. However it was a different story in 1999 when the same study showed that 33.4 percent of women were obese and only 27.5 percent of men, which means the prevalence of obesity has increased in men in the past decade.
Men carry more weight around their stomach or belly. Abdominal fat, or visceral fat, is very metabolically active and secretes hormones which lead to inflammation, heart disease and diabetes.
In addition to heart disease and diabetes, excess weight diminishes almost every aspect of health, from reproductive and respiratory function to memory and mood; and for men it also interferes with sexual function. It does this through a variety of pathways, some as straightforward as the mechanical stress of carrying extra pounds and some involving complex changes in hormones and metabolism.
Obesity is a serious disease for both men and women. Obesity decreases the quality and length of life, and increases the risk of some cancers, lung and musculoskeletal disorders and other medical conditions.
The good news, though, is that obesity isn't necessarily a permanent condition and weight loss can curtail some obesity-related risks; and bariatric or weight-loss surgery can be a lifesaving procedure for those with obesity.
Bariatric surgery is more than a surgical procedure – it's a life-altering decision. If you or somebody you love is morbidly obese and has been unable to achieve significant weight loss through diet and exercise programs, bariatric surgery may be a smart option for them.

Tie the string tightly around the top of the bundle of noodles, about 1 inch from the end. Bring the water to a boil, add the noodles and with a fork, fan the noodles out at the untied end. Cook according to package directions. Remove, rinse and drain. Cut the tied end of the noodles off and discard hardened end and all string. Place the noodles on a platter in a straight row. They are now ready to use in sushi. One package of noodles will make approximately 3 to 4 sushi rolls.
NOTE: If you want to cook these a head of time, follow all steps but do not cut until ready to use. The noodles will stick together after sitting. Simply rinse again, before removing the harden area where the string is attached, and they will come apart.

AN INTREPID Worcester cyclist has set off on a 1,000-mile cycling challenge to raise cash for a charity researching cures for a condition which kills about a thousand people every year.
Steve Oates along with brother Lee Wardle and friend Roy Grimes set off from Lands End last week and are planning to reach John O'Groats on Saturday, August 16.
The trio are raising cash for SUDEP Action, which is researching a cure into Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy, which Roy's brother Nathan died of in 2006, and supporting bereaved families.
The group were hoping to raise £1,000 for the charity but have already smashed this target, with donations currently standing at £1,128.92 and counting.

Ingrown toenail
An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the nail grows down and into the skin of the toe.
Alternative Names
Onychocryptosis; Unguis incarnatus; Surgical nail avlusion; Matrix excision
An ingrown toenail can result from a number of things. Poorly fitting shoes and toenails that are not properly trimmed are the most common causes. The skin along the edge of a toenail may become red and infected. The great toe is affected most often, but any toenail can become ingrown.
An ingrown toenail may occur when extra pressure is placed on your toe. This pressure is caused by shoes that are too tight or too loose. If you walk often or participate in athletics, a shoe that is even a little tight can cause this problem. Deformities of the foot or toes can also place extra pressure on the toe.
Nails that are not trimmed properly can also cause ingrown toenails:
Some people are born with nails that are curved and grow downward. Others have toenails that are too large for their toes. Stubbing your toe or other injuries can also lead to an ingrown toenail.
There may be pain, redness and swelling around the nail.
Exams and Tests
An exam of the foot will show the following:
Tests or x-rays are usually not needed.
If you have diabetes, nerve damage in the leg or foot, poor blood circulation to your foot, or an infection around the nail, go to the doctor right away. Do not try to treat an ingrown nail at home.
Otherwise, to treat an ingrown nail at home:
When trimming your toenails:
Consider wearing sandals until the problem goes away. Over-the-counter medicine that is applied to the ingrown toenail may help with the pain, but it does not treat the problem.
If this does not work and the ingrown nail gets worse, see your family doctor, a foot specialist (podiatrist) or a skin specialist (dermatologist).
If your ingrown nail does not heal or keeps coming back, your doctor may remove part of the nail:
Sometimes your doctor will use a chemical, electrical current, or another small surgical cut to destroy or remove the area from which a new nail may grow.
If the toe is infected, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Treatment usually controls the infection and relieves pain. The condition is likely to return if you do not practice good foot care.
This condition may become serious in people with diabetes, poor blood circulation, and nerve problems (peripheral neuropathies).
Possible Complications
In severe cases, the infection can spread through the toe and into the bone.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you:
If you have diabetes, nerve damage in the leg or foot, poor blood circulation to your foot, or an infection around the nail, your risk for complications is higher. If you have diabetes, see your provider.
Wear shoes that fit properly. Shoes that you wear every day should have plenty of room around your toes. Shoes that you wear for walking briskly or for running should also have plenty of room, but not be too loose.
When trimming your toenails:
Keep your feet clean and dry. People with diabetes should have routine foot exams and nail care.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/9/2013 (1448 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
REGINA – It has mismatch written all over it. A heavyweight vs. flyweight, a muscle-bound behemoth kicking sand in the 98-pound weakling's mug.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders, 7-1, meet the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, 1-7, in the 51st Labour Day Classic and nobody — especially the Vegas bookies who have made the home side 14½ point favourites — expects the visitors to exit with a win.
Justin Goltz will make his third pro start at quarterback for the Bombers after a couple of years standing on the sidelines as the third or fourth stringer. And he expects to hear it from the Rider faithful from the moment he exits the tunnel in the pre-game to the final gun.
"I've kinda enjoyed flying under the radar in situations like this in the past," said Goltz. "This is a pretty strong fan base. I'm pretty sure they've done their research and I'm sure they'll have some good material for me.
"They're pretty fierce, man. They'll come after you in any shape or form, whether it's verbally, physically… as they should. That's what you want in a fan base, especially in the CFL where it's a fan-driven league and we pride ourselves on having great relationships with the fans. This is arguably one of the best fan bases in the league — I feel like Winnipeg's is very similar — and they're diehard, they care about their team and they're going to let the other team know about it."
Critical for the Bombers if they are to have any hope of winning the Labour Day Classic is a decent start — Winnipeg was down 17-zip to Hamilton last weekend after the first quarter before falling behind 24-0 in the second half. The Bombers also managed just 11 first downs and 214 yards net offence. Most of all, head coach Tim Burke and his coaching staff have implored the Bombers to man up and at least show some fight in this one.
And that's especially critical now in the face of the number of changes management has already made to the roster in the past couple of weeks.
"From a defensive point of view I want to see better effort early in the game," said Burke. "I want to see more passion out of them. Offensively, we need to have better execution. Our offensive line has got to block better and it would be nice to get the running game going first and that would help the passing game. I thought our special teams played really well last week and for us to get just a little bit better there would be great."
Asked what a win would do for the Bombers, Burke grinned:
"It would be a fun bus ride back," he said. "For the veteran guys it would do a lot. Any win would help, obviously. For the younger guys, I doubt if they understand the magnitude of this game."
Will they when they come out of the tunnel?
"I think," Burke added, "they'll get it figured out pretty fast."

This Jaguar is not a Matchbox (hood doesn't open on that or the Husky version) and it has painted headlights and better detailing. There's a yellow earlt sixties Nova I don't have but I do have a 64 Cadillac and 65 Mustng Fastback. These are superior cars in detail to other makes, but they're priced accordingly. This one was a present for my 48th birthday...Thanks Mom & Dad,,,

Topic: A Good One for My Believers
Last Friday night I went to a Club with my GF Marilise where they have Karaoke but on Friday is older singles night and there is dancing and a Host who sings, rather well. Marilise and I had ordered dinner and I started to have a real pity party. I was sad as I not only found out that the Humira was not helping my U.C. then I complained that Teddy had not been around lately and he was supposed to be taking care of me. The very NEXT song the host sang was "I Did It My Way" which was Teddy's theme song. Never heard it sung there before. Marilise simply said, "there you go, Teddy IS here!" OK, so I am spoiled! I grabbed all the cocktail napkins on the bar and had a total meltdown. I better stop that or no one will ask me to dance! You guys it's a hoot. Everyone is over 65, the women are botoxed to the hilt and the men are using lines from 50 years ago! Its good for a few laughs!

i was confused in different manufacturers making same size lcds and which one fit which ones ?
i would like to import them but the model no are so huge it seems difficult to import all of them
is there any way to find out which ones fit which ones like compatibility chart would be great help
koljit Reply
Oscarine - Wednesday, May 23, 2007 - linkJust a point of note that probably holds true for all the laptop manufacturers (especially Dell). Although the basic technology process for the displays I'm sure is the same, the quality of the sourced display even in the same model can vary wildly. When purchasing a dell with a WUXGA+ Res screen you could be recieving any number of manufacturers displays, fro Phillips, LG, Samsung, etc, and even among those manufacturers numerous different versions of the same panel. Case in point I owned a Dell 9300, with a samsung wuxga+ screen, it had poor contrast, miserable colors, and horrible light bleeding. Whereas my wife's 9300 had LG unit that had much better contrast, richer but less accurate color, and much less light bleed. All of this within the same model, at the same time period. So just like all the other components from DVD, HDD, even keyboards and whatnot are sourced from multiple manufacturers so are the displays, and some are significantly better than others in performance. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, May 23, 2007 - linkYeah... which really sucks but unfortunately we can't do much about it other than point out the fact. I will try to determine the panel manufacturers on the various laptops and update the table to reflect this information. Reply
lazybum131 - Tuesday, May 29, 2007 - linkJust a note about the updated table with the panel vendors, most likely the Seiko Epson panel reported for the M1710 is actually a Samsung panel. I just replaced a Samsung panel with a LG-Philips on my Latitude D620 (you may have heard about the screen complaints), where Astra reported the Samsung as a Seiko Epson SEC4457. Reply
Wesleyrpg - Wednesday, May 23, 2007 - linkhey there, great and infomative article.
Any ideas who the manufacturer is of the panels in each laptop? I'm curious about the G2P, and apparently the A8JS has two different manufacturers of the panel used in it depending on the country you are based in.
I'm using a fujistu lifebook n6220, its got a Samsung 17inch panel, 1440 x 900, and a beautiful display, i wonder if its the same panel as the G2P??? Reply
austonia - Wednesday, May 23, 2007 - linkThe quality of the display (viewing angles, brightness, contrast) is very high on my priority list when buying a notebook, yet few of them come with a decent display and few sites/reviewers focus on it. I hope Anandtech will follow up on this idea with a wider range of notebooks, when they can. Reply
jmvillafana - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkThis is a great topic with too few attention. As IT head for a large corporation I used to have Dell as standard for Laptops I used to be glad with response from the total user experience. When switching some 50 users from ispiron 8600 provided in 2004 to a Latitude D820 in late 2006, we had very bad comments. Better speed, better resolution, but the display brightness and clarity was really difficult in users eyes. When looking around for options of other brands, we found similar trends in other brands. Toshiba´s looked better than Dell´s still were not as good as their own laptops from three years before. It seems that most brands have looked for this area as a cut cutting opportunity. The problem is that we could not get better displays even as options for additional cost. The company that grabs this as a marketing opportunity has a good chance of making good money. Reply
figuerc - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkAgreed - my old Toshiba (Celeron 400) has a better screen then my newer one (P4 2.8 ghz - not that new). Some of the newer dells and gateways are just terrible on the eyes. Reply
Theguynextdoor - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkThis little laptop has the Xbrite screen with an LED bulb. Does anyone know if this will be tested anytime soon? Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkIf Sony deems to send us one, we will happily test it. We don't have any contacts at Sony right now, unfortunately, so the best we can do is ask and hope for a response. If any of you have an inside track at Sony, tell them to contact me via email. Reply
Axbattler - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkI am also very interested in this. I know that the Sony screen tend to be a love or hate affair: on one hand they are bright and and clear, but many can't get past the reflection. I'd like to know if there are any monitors that's similar to Sony's minus the refection. Reply
figuerc - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkMy Thinkpad X60 tablet still comes with an IPS screen and it is the best screen I have ever used period. Reply
Pirks - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkyeah, this article is a waste of time considering they have omitted IPS screen notebooks. I saw the title, thought "yess!!" and went to read it, you know I always wanted to see good comparison between IPS and TN notebook displays... and in the first page they write "uh we don't know about any notebook with IPS panel" - WTF?! alright Anand and Co, it was agood job, you barely made it but to make TRYLY high-quality article you really have to include at least one IPS thinkpad. I'll keep waiting for your _proper_ notebook screen comparison article, it's likely you do it first
after all I haven't seen decent notebook TN panel reviews online before yours, so once you add an IPS notebook - job's done! Reply
DigitalFreak - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkAgain Pirks, STFU. Reply
Pirks - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linksorry for typos, I pressed post button too quick, should be truly not tryly Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkThis is a starting point Pirks, not an end point. I tried to make that clear. All notebooks that we review in the future will include a more in-depth review of the display. As for getting the Lenovo Thinkpad X60 (or something similar if there are other IPS laptops), we're working on it. Unfortunately, previous attempts to contact Lenovo for a review unit have been unsuccessful, so we review what we have. Reply
Pirks - Wednesday, May 23, 2007 - linkokay, okay, if this is just the beginning - I'm going to STFU, if only to make DigitalFreak quiet
waiting for your IPS notebook reviews, and thanks for making this just the beginning - I really like the idea of the article, and IPS panels is the only things that's missing
I wasn't criticizing the article per se, I only disliked the omission of the IPS panels. sorry for not stating it clearly
JarredWalton - Wednesday, May 23, 2007 - linkI knew what you meant, and I was glad to find out that I was wrong and that there were some non-TN panels available in laptops. I'll be curious to see if the IPS models (assuming I can get some sent my way) perform noticeably better. After all, the best of the laptops I've looked at so far still trails behind desktop TN models, most likely due to backlighting and power concerns. It could be that the IPS laptops follow that trend.

Pirks - Wednesday, May 23, 2007 - linkhey Jarred, here's another mistake you made in the article: "LED backlighting is one technology that holds a lot of promise, and it has only just begun to show up on desktop LCDs" - now don't you know that Sony has been selling notebooks with LED backlighting for some time already? why have you said that it only appeared on desktop LCD while in fact Sony was making notebooks with LEDs waaay before desktop LCDs with LED appeared? Reply
Pirks - Wednesday, May 23, 2007 - linkexactly! this is why I'm waiting for your IPS panel notebooks article veeery impatiently! bring it on! :) Reply
Myrandex - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkI am not all that opposed to lower resolution screens when it comes to a laptop. Laptop video chipsets are often times slow enough as it is, and when my 7200 G0 64MB (256MB TC) is attempted to be used for gaming, 1280x800 gives a much better experience then some 1980x1600 breatly resolution. Reply
MrPickins - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - link4 screens, and not a single one a 15" model? How does that constitute a "roundup"?
This article needs far more models tested to be worthwhile. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkIt's a roundup of what we have right now. I have some 15" laptops coming for review, and if this wasn't made clear we will be performing these same tests on all future laptop reviews. This was just a way to jump start things before the laptops we currently have are sent back. Reply
MrPickins - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkDon't get me wrong, I like the article's intent, and the tests run. I just feel it would have been better to wait and give a large comparison all at one time, rather than piecemeal. Reply
EarthsDM - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkGreat article. If you guys wouldn't mind, could you do these tests to the MacBook and MacBook Pro? In light of this new lawsuit (see below) I'd like to know how good my MacBook Pro's display is, i.e. 6-bit or 8-bit. Thanks!

heulenwolf - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkGreat job on the article. I had no idea the G2P's display was so demonstrably superior to the competition. I'd be interested to see these tests performed with two more variables:
1) How do screen options within a single laptop model score? For example, if you get a Dell Inspiron with the default screen vs the upsell for the "Ultrasharp" model. Such a comparison could also give you two systems that are alike in every other way so you could discern the impact of the "better" screen on battery life
2) I always hear about how Macs are better for multimedia applications. Does the colorimeter and software work with Macs, as well? If so, I'd be interested to see whether their color accuracy is truly better than those of competing laptops. Reply
strikeback03 - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkI'd assume you could test the colorimeter on a Mac running Windows, shouldn't affect the screen quality. Reply
bldckstark - Wednesday, May 23, 2007 - linkApparently recent testing on the Mac's have shown that the display performs better under Windows than OSx. This is one of the reasons they are being sued right now for claiming better visual representation than "regular" notebooks, when they appear to be the same as all the rest.
I don't know anyone who has a Macbook, Pro or not so I have not seen this.
I have been on the edge of buying a Macbook for some time, but when push came to shove, I bought a Lenovo. It is hard to find someone (now I am sure millions will reply since I said this) that thinks the other manufacturers are even in the same league as IBM was. So far Lenovo has been doing a good job of keeping the Thinkpad up to snuff, so I couldn't reasonably spend my money on something I had never seen before and had no consistency in manufacturing from one model to the other. Besides, there is that keyboard 8^) Reply
jelifah - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkThis article was TREMENDOUSLY helpful. As most laptops are bought online it is impossible to be able to determine what an LCD looks like, short of going to a company's kiosk.
Please continue to do reviews like this. Reply
mostlyprudent - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkAgreed. It's about time someone included one of the most important part of a laptop in the review process. I also appreciated the comparison to desktop LCDs. I have been sticking with my CRT, in part, because of the stark difference in viewing quality between my laptop and desktop PCs. Reply
strikeback03 - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkThe first page mentions that you don't know of any laptops which use an LCD that isn't a TN panel. The Flexview Thinkpads use IPS panels, and they are nice. Any chance of getting one of those in the comparison? Reply
n7 - Wednesday, May 23, 2007 - linkAnd Macbook Pros use IPS.
Sadly, i'd say 99% of notebooks have garbage for displays.
Only good thing to come from notebook displays is glossy finishes, as now that's finally spreading nicely into the desktop segment. Reply
bldckstark - Wednesday, May 23, 2007 - linkApple is currently being sued for poor display quality. Word is they are using TN panels in both Pro and regular versions. I guess we will find out more soon, since this is another high profile (if unwarranted) case against Apple. Reply
n7 - Wednesday, May 23, 2007 - linkThey aren't using TNs in the Macbook Pros, at least not all the ones i've seen.
In the regular Macbooks, yes, they use TNs, like everyone else.
strikeback03 - Wednesday, May 23, 2007 - linkPersonally I hate glossy finishes, thankfully neither my laptop or desktop have one.
I thought I had read somewhere that some Macbooks used IPS as well. They are certainly popular amongst traveling photographers. Reply
drwho9437 - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkWhile Flexview is IPS, it is not offered at the moment (CTO though perhaps in prebuilt T60 models still).
It is unknown if Lenovo will bring it back, but it was one of the few panels out there that had good color by most accounts. There were objective measurements done at the Thinkpads.com forum once upon a time...
I myself didn't get flexview due to the size and cost. I'm quite happy with my T60, but i a 14" wide or standard IPS display is marketed in a Lenovo package, I will certainly be tempted. I don't think I can go back to 'regular' laptops after using my Thinkpad. Reply
Pirks - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkditto here, I saw IPS screen on a Thinkpad and it was gorgeous compared to other shitty apple and dell notebooks I saw. so I was seriously surprised to find out that Anand guys don't know about it. guys, your credibility has plummeted down in my eyes. to not know anything about IPS displays in Thinkpads - what kind of techies are you anyway? sheesh... overclocking, overclocking... blah blah... while not knowing about such an OBVIOUS thing as IPS based Thinkpad... sigh :-( Reply
DigitalFreak - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkDude, STFU. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkNot everyone knows everything about every computer part. I'm glad someone makes a laptop with a non-TN panel, and I have updated the article text. As it said, we were "as yet unaware" of such laptops, and we are now aware. Hopefully Lenovo will be good enough to get us a unit for testing. The point stands that only one manufacturer so far (I think?) makes such a laptop, no one makes a major point about advertising the laptop panel specs or type, and as far as I can tell it's only in the 12.1" X series. We definitely need more such notebooks. Reply
strikeback03 - Wednesday, May 23, 2007 - linkSuppose it might now be available on the X series (I haven't kept up with laptop specs much recently). Previously Flexview was only available in 15" 4:3 ratio panels in SXGA and UXGA resolution, on some T and R series models. Whoever was making the panels might have folded up shop though if a few Thinkpads were the only laptops using that panel. Reply
Hulk - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkYou guys always find the unexpolored areas to investigate. Great job!
I have also always wondered why laptop displays have seemingly stalled in comparision to desktops. I would gladly sacrifice a little battery life for a high quality desktop-like display. Reply
rqle - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkYup. Reviewing display from anandtech is great. Kudos on the viewing angle and response time. uniquely presented. ++ Reply
mongo lloyd - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkNot really. Behardware has been doing the same thing for quite a while. Reply
skyyspam - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkI don't know why I haven't seen a laptop LCD comparison yet...but this has been very informative, and I only hope that Anandtech continues to evaluate laptop displays in the future.
On the subject of laptop displays, how come I can't find a 17" stand-alone LCD panel that does 1920x1200? 24" is great and all, but sheesh--I don't need a screen to be that big. The 17" size is perfect for my eyes' resolving power. Reply
Johnmcl7 - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkOne aspect that doesn't seem to have been given much discussion is resolution, one thing that irritates me about desktop TFTs is the low resolution compared to laptop monitors. You can have 1920x1200 on a 15.4 inch laptop display but you need to go up to 23 inches on a desktop display to reach that resolution.
John Reply
corduroygt - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkI believe that display quality goes down as dpi (resolution relative to the screen size) goes up, and that's why the XPS did so poorly while the G2P did well. For example, compare two 15.4" notebooks one with the 1280x800 res and the other with the 1680x1050, and you'd see the difference. Similarly, compare the A8Js with another asus that has a 14.1 screen with 1280x800, and the lower resolution panel will have much better results. It's harder to get light through when you have more transistors for some reason. Also I have an A8Js and it's funny you did not mention the regular sand grain pattern you can see very easily when you have a white background, which irritates me much more than any of the issues in this article. You should definitely research the correlation between dpi and screen performance, and this might also explain why desktop monitors fare way better, and large lcd tv's are the best when it comes to display quality.
Johnmcl7 - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkSorry, I didn't realise I had to consult you for my own opinion on TFT monitors.
I have no need to research this because my choice is high resolution, I have used laptops and desktop TFTs for years - my WUXGA monitors do not suffer from 'grain' and I prefer having the higher resolution to give me more working space. A 1280x800 screen, even if it's the highest quality ever made is still useless to me because there's so little I can fit on screen whereas the 1920x1200 monitors actually let me get on with what I want to do.
If you don't like that, fair enough but given their existence in the laptop market clearly I'm not on my own in wanting a higher resolution - we should have the choice for our own preferences.
John Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkI agree that it would definitely be nice if people have more choice available -- both in desktops as well as laptops. However, he may be correct that higher DPI LCDs result in lower overall quality in other areas. Unfortunately, since no one manufacturers anything like that for the desktop so far all we have is speculation.
I personally prefer a slightly lower DPI, but that's mostly because my vision isn't that great. I still use a 30" desktop LCD, because I really like the high resolution, but the 24" LCDs are a bit easier on my eyes. Regardless, we will try to bring up this topic with some of the display manufacturers to get their input. Reply
DerekWilson - Wednesday, May 23, 2007 - linkI suppose this is where I interject the fact that high dpi effectively reduces aliasing without the need of graphical tricks (like antialiasing).
The smaller each pixel, the less we will be able to see the stairstep pattern created by non-horizontal and non-vertical straight lines.
For those interested in the signal processing theory behind this, more dots per inch (dpi) translates to a higher sample rate in converting the continuous representation of a 3d world into a digital representaion suitable for display. Higher sample rates can more accurately represent higher frequency data -- which in images appears as high contrast edges.
Currently, aliasing is hidden using good game design techiques (avoid lots of high contrast edges), antialiasing (which increases the sample rate for each pixel and chooses pixel color based on more of the surfaces a single pixel covers), and low pass filtering (blurring the entire image slightly can reduce aliasing, but this is a low quality technique).
Sufficiently high DPI would eliminate the need for all of these techniques and really increase the quality of graphics on the desktop.
I would venture to guess that Jarred prefers lower dpi more because of the fact that operating systems interfaces don't currenlty scale well with dpi. High resolution shouldn't make things smaller, it should make things more detailed -- and it is the operating systems job to handle this in the majority of cases. modern operating systems fail at this.
some games do this better -- in games where controls, text, etc. take up the same ammount of screen space no matter what resolution is selected effectively fudge on handling dpi correctly -- that is, things aren't built on a fixed number of pixels but on a fixed portion of the physical display.
I'm not currently aware of games that do things "right" when it comes to dpi scaling -- that is that contorls and text would have a fixed size no matter what resolution or what size display is being used. This is how things should be done everywhere when it comes to graphical user interfaces. The application should be aware of how many pixels are in one inch, and it should be able to scale on screen controls and text to include more or fewer pixels to provide very consistent UI. This result in something like 18pt font always being 1/4 inch tall no matter what monitor and resolutoin combination are being used. (this also makes zooming in and out take on a meaningful role in the ui).
Doesn't that just seem like the right way to do it in the first place? Oh well... it's apparenlty too complicated :-/
But wow, I got off topic a bit ... If user interfaces scaled with dpi, we would all always perfer higher dpi, because higher dpi would directly translate into higher quality images consisting of higher frequency data giving us less aliasing and smoother images without blurring or subsampling.
high dpi is good -- current operating system, application, and game design are lacking in that they don't always (the exceptions are usually in graphics desing, publishing, and engineering software) make use of dpi data to present a consistent user interface. this turns resolution into "something that makes things smaller" when this is not something it should do at all.
ok, i'll stop now :-) Reply
Deusfaux - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkWhere does one get this software you guys have used in LCD articles - especially for calibration of colors?
Or perhaps there is a free equivalent? If the improvement is that substantial going from out-of-the-box to calibrated I'd certainly like to explore doing so on my 3007's Reply
strikeback03 - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkYou actually need hardware as well as software for color calibration - IIRC the Monaco Optix system they use is somewhere in the $300-400 range. There are cheaper alternatives depending on what you need out of the package though. Reply
Skobbolop - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkwell... it's all about battery life is it not?... personally i think i would go for the low quality lcd with low power consumption, instead of the high quality LCD with high power requirements.... but that's just me :D Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - linkI don't know... if darker lights save battery life (makes sense), why not just give users the option of dimming the lights when on battery power? The G2P allows a larger range of brightness than the others, though I didn't specifically test battery life at various settings. (3 hours per pass of a battery test can take a long time.) Anyway, I'd personally like to have both high quality and long battery life, with the ability to emphasize one depending on my current use of the laptop. Reply

John Galliano Fall 2011
The daffodils were abloom on the Avenue Foch, and shafts of Paris' diamond light illuminated a mise-en-scène that was pure Galliano: a magnificent belle epoque ballroom, revealed as dawn broke after the ball. A glorious confusion of white lilacs and roses. A tumble of Napoleon III chairs in crimson tufted ebony satin; discarded Spanish shawls, fans, and stray ostrich plumes. Cards thrown down as though in despair by a losing player. Even an ancient bicycle propped against the Aubusson, and a rocking horse with no one to ride it.
And into the poetic melee, Karlie Kloss, high-stepping in a tautly fitted jacket of marled gray pied de poule tweed (beloved motif of Christian Dior), and tulip skirt, her high-crowned Stephen Jones hat tucked and shaped just so.
For this collection was an ode to Parisian chic, refracted through the acuity of Galliano's lens: Here, a pencil skirt with a forties flip was executed in ivory latex—an homage, perhaps, to the nocturnal denizens of this arrondissement that is at once raffiné and louche. And here, a chiffon evening gown of exquisite Vionnet cut, with a motif of spiraling curlicues that turned out to be plumes of cigarette smoke, coiled in purple and mauve against the ebony background. And here, an evening dress of ivory silk, wrapped and draped and caught with rose-pink satin ribbons—Galliano wanted to suggest a Colette-era courtesan wrapping her exquisite bedsheets around her, and there was indeed no suggestion of how his dressmakers had made the airy confection stay up. Here was a Poiret coat in the same vein that seemed like a chain-stitch quilted satin eiderdown. The Balenciaga bouclé coat and the shapely Dior-draped fichu jacket and the woolen swing coat with embroidered paisley motifs veiled in shadowy chiffon, and the mushroom puff of a taffeta skirt or a jacket scythed away in back to reveal a flash of spine, or the evening gown tufted with ostrich fronds and embroidered to sparkle like fireworks in a night sky carried with them all the knowledge that Galliano has acquired in his Parisian life working with the master craftspeople chez Givenchy and Dior, and showed how he can seize an inspiration from a scrap of the past and take it into his very own world.
The elegiac collection was abbreviated from the extravaganza planned for the storied French bistro La Coupole, and poignantly evoked Galliano's seminal Parisian debut collection, presented in socialite São Schlumberger's superb eighteenth-century Hotel Particulier built for a dazzling Louis Seize actress, that started Galliano on his unimaginable trajectory in this city of light and shadow.

DETROIT - The country is coming together to help the victims of Superstorm Sandy and at Local 4, Ruth Spencer and the Ruth to the Rescue unit are joining forces with the American Red Cross to support those affected.
Anyone who donates to the Red Cross will help the agency provide food, shelter, emotional support and other assistance to the people living in the hurricane-ravaged areas. The Red Cross has been helping communities since before Superstorm Sandy made landfall earlier this week.
The Red Cross said it has shelters open in nine states and is currently focused on increasing a massive feeding operation to get hot meals to people in Long Island, Manhattan, Staten Island and New Jersey.
Ruth to the Rescue and the Red Cross will be taking your calls in the Local 4 phone bank during every newscast between 5 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. on Friday. People wishing to donate can call 313-298-WDIV (9348).
Red Cross volunteers will be taking calls from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m., noon to 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
People can also donate online at redcross.org.
The Red Cross said you can also text the word REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation.
The Red Cross released the following statistics on their efforts to help hurricane victims:
More than 7,000 people spent Wednesday night in 115 Red Cross shelters across nine states including New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia, Ohio and the District of Columbia.
It has deployed 12 mobile kitchens capable of making 198,000 meals a day and shipped more than 334,000 shelf-stable meals to the area. The Red Cross activated more than 230 response vehicles, more than two-thirds of the entire Red Cross fleet, which are beginning to distribute meals, water and snacks in some areas.
Across the country, more than 3,300 Red Cross disaster workers have been mobilized and 50 trailers of relief supplies such as clean-up kits, rakes, shovels, tarps, dust masks and work gloves have been deployed.

Every year when birthdays or special holidays roll around, I always ask people what they would like me to make for them. I give them the choice of anything I've ever made or if there is something they'd like me to try, I'll do that as well. Three out of the last four years my mother's answer has been hamburgers, which are her favorite meal. So each year I've tried to find a new hamburger recipe to try to make the best burger I can. This year I made the recipe Burgers with Grilled Onions from Serious Barbecue. A great burger deserves great rolls, so I baked up a batch of homemade hamburger rolls for the occasion. I accompanied the burgers with Boss Hawg's BBQ Baked Beans from America's Best BBQ. These beans are the best doctored baked beans recipe I've ever tried. I've made these beans several times before and the prep pictures I'm showing are from a batch I made last summer. The pictures of the beans on the table are from today's cook. I lucked out this year and hit it out of the park. My wife, my father and most importantly, my mother all declared these were the best burgers they've ever had. All of us of already had said that about the beans, so this really was an all-star meal.
The beans used: canned pork and beans, BBQ sauce, golden raisins, sweet onions, Granny Smith apples, brown sugar, chopped bacon, garlic and coriander.
Everything has been measured out, chopped up and is ready to be combined in a large nonreactive bowl.
After the items are thoroughly whisked together in a large bowl they are poured into a disposable aluminum pan.
The beans smoke on the CG at 225 for about 2 1/2 hours.
Meanwhile I have some fresh baked hamburger rolls coming out of the oven.
The hamburger rolls had an egg wash applied to the top along with some sesame seeds. The rolls are now cooling after 15 minutes in the oven.
The rolls are toasting on my grills flattop griddle grate.
The rolls are done toasting and now four 1/2" slices of onion are on the griddle grate grilling in some canola oil. I am using a couple SR grill presses to help caramelize the onions.
As the onions are turned, they are brushed with butter and they're also sprinkled with red pepper flakes.
The onions are done in are off the griddle. The burger patties, which use 73% lean ground beef, are on the open grill grate. They grill for three minutes a side before they are transferred to the grill grate. There was quite a bit of flare ups due to the fat content of the meat, but the patties were on the open grill grate for such a short period of time, I didn't worry about the flareups. When the patties are turned they are brushed with a basting sauce consisting of butter, chopped fresh herbs, salt-and-pepper.
The patties are off the open grate and are now grilling for two minutes a side on the griddle grate. Once again they get brushed with the basting sauce at every turn.
The patties are on their final side on the griddle grate. The final step is to put on some slices of cheddar cheese.
Time to eat! You can see the homemade hamburger rolls, the four burgers and the Boss Hawg's barbecue baked beans.
This was an excellent meal. The beans have such great flavor they are a meal unto themselves. The burgers had such great flavor I didn't use any condiments on them nor did anyone else use any condiments on their burgers. We had condiments out, but everyone tried the burger first and decided it had such great flavor it didn't need condiments.
As I mentioned: today was a great success. My mother declared this to be the best hamburger she'd ever eaten. This made all my time and effort worth every minute of it. I couldn't have asked for more.

Female Peacock Escapes From Bronx Zoo, Joins Twitter
In a sign that the Bronx Zoo probably needs to improve its security, the NY Daily News is reporting that a female peacock (or peahen) has escaped from the zoo and is now making its way through the streets of New York.
Three Bronx Zoo staffers reportedly failed to rescue the peahen around noon on Tuesday before it flew off into the Manhattan wildlife
The peahen has since been spotted by local New Yorkers eating a hamburger outside the E. 180th St. subway stop.
"It's unbelievable. I'm shocked. I'm used to seeing chickens on the street – but not peacocks," an onlooker said.
Zoo officials, meanwhile, remain optimistic about catching the peahen.
"We'll get her eventually," said Nancy Clum, the zoo's curator of ornithology.
Today's report comes just weeks after a cobra escaped from its cage inside the Bronx Zoo. The cobra – which has since been found – became an instant celebrity, due in part to its fake Twitter account, which now has over 240,000 followers.
As expected, the peahen now has a Twitter of its own.

FIFTY years after it opened, work has commenced on the demolition of the last remaining part of the original Sainsbury's Basingstoke depot in Basingstoke.
The demolition work will pave the way for work to start on phase three of the company's multi-million-pound replacement distribution hub.
To mark the milestone, former colleagues were able to visit the Houndmills site to see how the £100million makeover is progressing.
The Basingstoke depot opened in 1964 and was a national packing facility for Sainsbury's meat and dairy products. It later became Sainsbury's main distribution centre – serving hundreds of stores across the South.
In early 2012, Sainsbury's announced plans to modernise the depot, securing 800 local jobs in the area.
Construction work began in the same year to demolish the existing distribution warehouse complex in Houndmills Road and replace it with a new 618,500 sq ft distribution centre. The work will be completed in 2015 and will create an extra 100 new jobs.
Addressing colleagues and former colleagues, during a special presentation, David Jacobs, Sainsbury's head of implementation, said: "The original depot here in Basingstoke closes after 50 years of operation, and all product management has now moved across to the new depot.
"The Basingstoke depot has been part of my life for 35 years since I started in 1980, so it's quite a landmark day for me.
"In 1964, Basingstoke was the cutting edge, state-of-the-art depot, and hopefully we will be able to show you that Basingstoke will be leading the way again.
"The distribution centre at Basingstoke represents a significant investment for Sainsbury's. We are always looking at ways to serve our customers better and the improvement works will provide us with a central location to support our growing retail business in the South."
Steve Bird, who worked on the site in the 1970s before returning to be operations manager at Basingstoke in 2006, said: "It is really exciting to see the new depot taking shape and it will help Sainsbury's serve a growing number of customers and stores across the South. We've worked very closely with the local community during construction and are looking forward to the centre opening next year."
Among the visitors was Steve's 80-year-old dad, Charlie Bird, from Buckskin, who worked for Sainsbury's from 1955 to 1992. He was among the first to work at the depot as a warehouseman, later becoming a forklift truck trainer and then chief instructor.
Impressed with the tour of the complete new Phase One and Phase Two parts of the new depot, Charlie said: "It's so vast and so modern – it really is. I can't believe what's been going on at the depot since my time here."
The site visit brought back many happy memories for Charlie.
He said: "It was a fantastic place to work and I met so many wonderful people, including Lord Sainsbury. It's been a big part of my life – I had a wonderful time at Sainsbury's."
