    Planar PXL2790MW - December 13, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    By Brian Westover

    The Planar PXL2790MW brings WQHD (2,560-by-1,440) resolution to the desktop in a 27-inch IPS monitor that offers solid color and grayscale performance and an attractive cabinet design. There's no shortage of video ports with this monitor, but it doesn't have any USB ports and it doesn't offer the level of ergonomic adjustability that you get with similarly priced WQHD models.

    Design and Features With its bezel-less design and edge-to-edge glass, the PXL2790MW is one fine looking monitor. Its 27-inch WQHD (Wide Quad High Definition) panel is housed in a sleek looking matte black cabinet sporting a curved back panel and a depth of only 1.7-inches. The 13.2 pound cabinet is attached to a black metal wedge-type stand that lets you tilt the cabinet 5-degerees forward and 25-degrees backward but lacks the height, swivel, and pivot capabilities that you get with models like the Dell UltraSharp U2713HM and Asus PB278Q. You can remove the stand if you wish to use the VESA mounting holes to hang the monitor on a wall using an optional VESA mounting bracket.

    At the back of the cabinet you'll find virtually every video input you could want, including VGA, DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort inputs. There's also an audio input and a headphone jack back there but no USB ports like you'll find on the Dell U2713HM. The down-firing 2-watt speakers provide decent volume but lack bass.

    There are four touch-sensitive buttons and a power switch on the lower front edge of the cabinet. The buttons are used to navigate the various OSD (on screen display) menus containing picture and audio settings. There are five Color Vision Modes (picture presets) including standard, cinema, scenery, game, and text as well as six color temperature settings and a user defined temperature setting. Other picture settings include brightness, contrast, gamma, Eco (power saving), and clock and phase (for analog signals). Audio adjustments are limited to volume and mute.

    The PXL2790MW comes with a DVI dual link cable, a DisplayPort cable, and audio cable, and a user guide. It also comes with a three year warranty which includes Planar's 2-Day Advanced Replacement service.

    Performance The PXL2790MW is a strong performer. It had no trouble displaying every shade of gray on the DisplayMate 64-Step Grayscale test and showed good highlight and shadow detail in my test photos. It also handled text wonderfully; the smallest text from the Scaled Fonts test was clean and easy to read.

    Out of the box color accuracy was good but not perfect. As shown on the chromaticity chart below, red (represented by the colored dot) is very close to the CIE standard for red (represented by the box), while green and blue are a tad heavy but still within an acceptable range.

    As far as picture quality goes, the PXL2790MW delivered well-balanced colors, and there was no noticeable tinting or over saturation. Viewing angles were wide with no discernable shift in color quality or luminance when viewed from a side or top angle.

    The PXL2790MW consumed 48-watts of power during testing with Eco mode turned off, which is rather high for a 27-inch IPS panel. The Dell U2713HM used 32 watts and the HP Envy 27 used 30 watts. Oddly, enabling the PXL2790MW's Eco mode made no difference whatsoever.

    Kerala to bring law to regulate reality sector - December 12, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Kerala Cabinet on Wednesday directed the Law Department to redraft legislation proposed earlier to check exploitation in the real estate sector.

    Talking to the media after the Cabinet meeting, Chief Minister Oommen Chandy said that the Real Estate Development and Regulation Bill would have provisions to ensure proper control of the real estate sector. There were many complaints now that developers of apartments and other properties were cheating people including overseas Keralites. The proposed law will protect the interests of the buyers.

    The Chief Minister recalled that the Cabinet earlier discussed and decided on a draft proposed by the State Housing Board to regulate the real estate sector. However, its enactment was kept in abeyance because of a proposal by the Centre to bring legislation on the subject.

    Though the Central legislation was approved by the Rajya Sabha, it was not adopted by Lok Sabha. Now, there was uncertainty about the Central law. Hence, the Cabinet decision to revive the plan for State legislation subject to the understanding that it would be modified in tune with the Central law, if one is enacted by the Centre.

    Mr. Chandy said that he was not certain whether the Bill could be taken up by the coming Assembly session as replacement of Ordinances would have to be given priority.

    Redford to swear in shuffled cabinet on Friday, with 10 ministers getting new jobs - December 12, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    One week after announcing a major cabinet shuffle, Premier Alison Redfords government will swear in a new cabinet in Edmonton on Friday.

    The shuffle, the first major rearrangement of Redfords cabinet since immediately after the 2012 election, will see 10 ministers getting new jobs.

    The swearing-in ceremony was delayed after the premier travelled to South Africa this week to attend the memorial for Nelson Mandela.

    It will now take place at 10:30 a.m. Friday at Government House.

    The cabinet shuffle will see the total number of full ministers increasing by one to 19, while the ranks of associate ministers increases to 11 from nine meaning more than half of the Tory caucus members are now ministers.

    Among the biggest changes is Dave Hancock taking over Thomas Lukaszuks roles as deputy premier and minister of Innovation and Advanced Education, while Lukaszuk shifts into the new ministry of Jobs, Skills, Training and Labour.

    Calgary-Greenway MLA Manmeet Bhullar takes over as Minister for Human Services, while Doug Griffiths will replace Bhullar in the Service Alberta post.

    In turn, Energy Minister Ken Hughes replaces Griffiths in the ministry of Municipal Affairs and will be in charge of cabinets flood reconstruction efforts.

    Diana McQueen moves from Environment to take over Energy from Hughes, while Robin Campbell will become Albertas Environment Minister.

    Redford puts new face on Tory government with cabinet shuffle - December 12, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Premier Alison Redford shook up her Tory cabinet Friday in what appeared to be an attempt to heal fractious relationships with the provinces municipalities and post-secondary institutions, and make a fresh start on the contentious social services file.

    The shuffle, announced late Friday afternoon, saw 10 ministers getting new jobs in the first major cabinet shuffle since immediately following the 2012 general election.

    But opposition parties said the government missed the mark and Redford failed by grossly expanding cabinet, with the number of full ministers increasing by one to 19 and the cadre of associate ministers increasing from 9 to 11 meaning more than half of Tory caucus members are now ministers.

    Among the biggest changes is veteran Tory Dave Hancock taking over Thomas Lukaszuks roles as deputy premier and minister of Innovation and Advanced Education.

    Its an important time in the mandate as we come through the first two years and (have) dealt with some of the really tough things that needed to happen, said Hancock, who also loses his position as house leader after 15 years.

    With the shift, the government is now able to get out and set the direction . . . to expand on that vision that has been set out by the premier, he said.

    The outspoken Lukaszuk, who had taken heat for major budget cuts in the post-secondary sector, was named to a new ministry of Jobs, Skills, Training and Labour.

    Calgary-Greenway MLA Manmeet Bhullar one of the governments youngest MLAs receives a major promotion as he moves from the Service Alberta portfolio to assume Hancocks role as Minister for Human Services, the super-ministry that deals with child and youth issues, social programs and homelessness.

    Hancock has been facing the fallout of a Calgary Herald-Edmonton Journal investigation that showed a greater number of children in government care had died between 1999 and 2013 than the province had reported.

    Amid verbal duel, CJ orders replacement of FC head – DAWN.COM - December 12, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    ISLAMABAD, Dec 11: On the last day of his eight-year tenure on Wednesday, Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry took up the Balochistan missing persons case and handed down an order. The proceedings of the case saw a verbal clash between a counsel and the bench.

    Heading a three-judge Supreme Court bench which had issued a contempt notice to Inspector General of Frontier Corps Balochistan Maj Gen Ijaz Shahid, the chief justice ordered that the next-in-command in the force be immediately appointed in place of the FC chief who was indisposed and admitted to the Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology.

    When Brigadier Khalid Saleem, who is at present heading the force, tried to explain that none of the missing persons was in the FC custody, the court said that without a proper notification by the interior ministry about his charge he could not be considered to be legally holding the command.

    After the notification, the order said, the acting FC chief would ensure that the FC personnel allegedly involved in enforced disappearances appeared before DIG of Balochistan Crime Investigation Department Imtiaz Ahmed Shah in compliance with the earlier order.

    It said the new FC chief, along with the provincial police and other law-enforcement agencies, would also ensure recovery of the missing persons, including Advocate Mir Ahmed Marwani who had been picked up from Khuzdar in Balochistan.

    The new FC chief, the Balochistan chief secretary and the inspector general of police are required to appear before the Supreme Court on Dec 17 along with reports on progress in recovery of the missing persons.

    The court said that since former FC chief Obaidullah Khattak had earlier given an undertaking in the court, all those who had affixed their signatures on the commitment to recover the missing persons would also appear before it to explain whether they had met the commitment.

    The court regretted that despite protests by relatives of the missing persons, no-one took practical steps to redress their grievances. This is evident from the attitude of law-enforcement agencies as well as elected representatives who had promised to enforce fundamental rights in their election campaigns.

    Similar is the position of the federal government, the prime minister and his cabinet as well as the elected representatives, particularly from Balochistan, despite the fact that they are aware of the miseries of the Baloch people, the court said.

    It observed that it was a responsibility of the executive authorities discharging functions under the constitution to enforce fundamental rights. The court regretted that there had been a hue and cry for many years and relatives of the missing persons were continuously holding camps in Quetta and even marched to Karachi on foot with their children, women and the elderly demanding their recovery.

    NSW Opposition reshuffles frontbench in lead up to 2015 election - December 12, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    The New South Wales Opposition leader John Robertson says he is strengthening his frontbench in the lead up to the 2015 election.

    Carmel Tebbutt's decision not to contest the next state poll has given Mr Robertson an opportunity to reshuffle his shadow Cabinet.

    Ryan Park, a former high school teacher, has been promoted to replace Ms Tebbutt as the Education spokesman.

    His replacement in Roads will be Walt Secord which will pit him against Duncan Gay in the Upper House.

    Mr Robertson say he is also welcoming three extra MPs into the fold.

    Peter Primrose has been named Special Minister for State, newly-re-elected Miranda MP Barry Collier gets Water, while Hunter MP Sonia Hornery will become the spokeswoman for Science and Medical Research.

    Nathan Rees, who is on extended leave, will remain the spokesman for police.

    Earlier this week the Premier Barry O'Farrell was forced into a minor reshuffle of his frontbench after the resignation from cabinet of Chris Hartcher.

    Replacing cabinet door inserts is an easier and more cost-effective way to update your kitchen decor than installing new cabinets. Well-chosen inserts add a customized look to cabinets, whether you want to increase the rustic charm of a Shaker-style kitchen with fabric or embellish a sleek, contemporary decorating scheme with stainless steel.

    Replacing cabinet door inserts with glass will brighten the room, showcase your cookware and china and keep needed kitchen implements in plain sight. Choose a ribbed or frosted glass to soften the decor and partially blur cabinet contents. Install molding over glass inserts to make them look like old-fashioned paned windows. Beveled or leaded glass inserts add a formal touch to any kitchen, while stained glass inserts add an artistic feel. All glass inserts will be more dramatic if you light them from behind with a small light inside the cabinet. Consider replacing only some of your inserts with glass, since even the neatest cooks may find it difficult to keep the contents of their cabinets display-worthy all the time.

    Handcrafted stainless steel or copper inserts with embossed or punched patterns add a rustic look to cabinets. Consider shiny stainless steel or aluminum panels if you prefer a modern look. Copper, brass or nickel mesh wire grilles are an old-fashioned touch that leave cabinet contents partially on display. The edges of metal inserts may be sharp, so be sure they are completely covered by cabinet trim after installation.

    Fabric cabinet inserts complement a Shaker-style kitchen. Choose a pattern that complements your china or a solid color that balances other hues in the room, and consider changing the panels to go along with holiday or seasonal decor. Sandwich the fabric panels between two layers of glass, hold them in place with net wiring or hang them on a tension rod. Be sure the contents of your cabinet are safe for children and pets if the panels are easy to remove. Fabric inserts are easy to clean; simply remove them, wash them and re-attach them to the cabinet doors.

    Replace your cabinet door inserts with painted wicker panels for a shabby-chic or country look. Consider dry-brushing paint onto the wicker to make it look weathered.

    Add a beaded board cabinet insert to give your kitchen a country or Shaker flair. Paint or stain beaded board panels before installation. Use a distressed faux-finishing technique to give the boards an antique look.
