A short tribute to Sister Elizabeth Kelliher, originally published in The Source / La Source.
A few years ago, during Israel's Operation Cast Lead against Gaza, I was participating in a protest rally and march in downtown Vancouver. It was early January, during a cold snap, and the wind and snow had mixed with freezing rain in conspiracy against us, as the crowd of several hundred marched down Robson Street.
Last night, Barack Obama spoke in defence of his threats to launch U.S. air strikes against Syria. In justifying his push for an attack illegal under international law, the constitutional lawyer and Nobel Peace Prize winner appealed explicitly to American exceptionalism. Obama also prefaced his case for bombing Syria with a stunningly ahistorical assertion of American benevolence:
This piece on a maddening (and perfectly legal!) corporate scam in B.C. was first published in my column for The Source / La Source, a bilingual Vancouver newspaper.
There's a memorable line by Fraser Institute founder Michael Walker in The Corporation, a documentary film made by Vancouver's Joel Bakan, that captures perfectly the extreme mindset of those who put profits above people and the planet.
"It sounds like you're advocating private ownership of every square inch of the planet," an interviewer asked Walker. Read more
"It sounds like you're advocating private ownership of every square inch of the planet," an interviewer asked Walker.
Update Sept. 1: On Thursday the UK Parliament rejected Prime Minister David Cameron's plans to join the U.S. in bombing Syria, defeating the war plans by a vote of 285 to 272. This, along with renewed anti-war protest globally, has contributed to something of a crisis for the U.S. administration; on Saturday President Obama stated that he would seek the approval of Congress before bombing Syria. A vote in Congress is expected on September 9. Stephen Harper meanwhile, has given no indication he'll recall Parliament, even as the allies with whom he is marching in "lockstep" with on this issue hold debates on Syria amongst their elected representatives.
If only we could prorogue the war machine.
"Egyptians would be lucky if their new ruling generals turn out to be in the mold of Chile's Augusto Pinochet, who took over power amid chaos but hired free-market reformers and midwifed a transition to democracy." - Wall Street Journal editorial page, July 4, 2013.
A month and a half into the coup regime, with well over 1000 dead in the bloodiest massacres in the history of modern Egypt, are the esteemed editors of the Wall Street Journal at all embarrassed about their wish for a Pinochet on the Nile?
July was a record-breaking month in Vancouver -- the driest on record. The political discussion in the city during these long, hot summer days was dominated by a most parochial issue: traffic changes from Burrard Street Bridge to Point Grey Road through Kitsilano.
The proposed changes, supported by the Vision Vancouver government at City Hall, represented a modest extension of the city's network of bike routes and lanes, as well as some traffic re-routing.
As expected, Christy Clark easily won a by-election in Kelowna last week. She now has her seat in the B.C. legislature. I wrote this at the beginning of July, and it was originally published in The Source, where I have a regular B.C. politics column.
As summer sets in, it's business and patronage as usual in B.C. politics.
The new B.C. Liberal government moved quickly to reward its insiders and friends -- a little too quickly in fact. Whopping pay raises for top political staffers resulted in a sharp public backlash, forcing Christy Clark to retract big salary increases for political aides and her own staffers.

Free LEGO!
Posted by Huw,Here's the set that's available when you place an order at shop.LEGO.com. I received mine today, along with the three advent calendars (so it'll be a busy month at Brickset in December!)
It's not too shabby, is it? It looks great from the front, although the back is a bit sparse.
It also contains a glow-in-the-dark spider, not shown.
There seems to be no shortage of work for zombie drivers. This particular one appears in three Monster Fighter sets, although this is my first one: I'm trying to avoid buying MF sets (at full price, anyway :-) )
If you fancy owning this set yourself, click on the banner above and spend over $75 / £50 and you'll get it for free, and of course help Brickset stay online in the process.

This is a great little set.
I got mine when I purchased the Haunted House at my local LEGO store.
One of the most impressive parts of the build to me is how the trapezoidal flags are used at the front of the car to match the slope of the grille.
It's so simple (but clean).
Mine should arrive today along with the Haunted House
FedEx just range my doorbell and who should be on the doorstep but Mr. Zombie! Fast delivery!
Got one coming in soon. Finally going to have those thin wheels. Need some for a car im making :)
I don't think he looks too much like a driver. Maybe he could be a zombie sailor in a peacoat in a ghost ship MOC? Which, by the way, would make a great set too.
Mine arrived yesterday along with my Haunted House. This is a really nice polybag and a great addition to the mansion, especially since I don't have any other Monster Fighters sets nor have any desire to buy them.
This free polybag is way better than the Halloween Accessory Pack! (which I also bought.)
This looks like a nice little model, I agree about the busy Zombie Driver.
I want to get one, but I don't know what I want to buy. Any particularly good sets out there at the moment?
^depends on what u want if u want star wars u could get the star wars advent calendar +one or two other ones if u like monster fighters there is the ghost train if u like ninjago there is the ultra sonic raider so it really depends on the theme u like
Oh man I ordered the Town Hall this week....finally...and with it I get this Zombie car! I can't wait! LEGO really is the best company around, their customer service here in the U.S. is bar none the absolute best!
How come when you go to the Lego store they give you a promo Polybag for every certain amount of money(Like 2 polybags for $150), but when you order them online, they only give you one..?
When we were at brickfair they gave us a Cake polybag for every $50 that we spent... But online was only one...
Do all of the Lego stores do this, or only ones that feel like doing it..?
I'm definitely getting that, since I have a trip to a Lego store in a few days, and there's some other stuff I'll be getting anyway. I might just buy a little extra and share it in two halves in order to get another one. =)
If I may add one thing, though, the driver's in four sets, not three- The Vampyre Hearse, The Zombies, this one and the coffin-car polybag. ;)
Over here, you have to spend $100 to get that o-o
All Australian AFOL have my sincere sympathy. Not just for this, but generally. =(
How come in the Lego world all zombies are expected to dig their own graves, I mean they seem to all come with shovels...
I so want that set but my parents won't pay a bunch of money on a Lego set. Anyone who's reading this and has one but doesn't want it my birthday's on the 18th would really make a good present. Contact me I'm serious l=

Rutgers Men's Lacrosse Plans Saturday White-Out For "Senior Knight"
The Rutgers men's lacrosse team will host Villanova for 'Senior Knight' on April 12. The game is a white out and the first 1000 fans in attendance will receive a free white out t-shirt. The game against the Wildcats will begin at 7 p.m.

The Senior Knight ceremony will also honor the remaining 13 senior members of the team: Nick Contino, Nick DePaolera, Steve DiGiovanni, Matt Klimchak, Scott Klimchak, Steven Lusby, Jack Matthews, Peter Noto, Andrew Parrilla, Kyle Robinson, Benjamin Schwing, Ryan Scott, and Joe Stottler.
With the men 2-2 in Big East play, and an overall record of 6-5, Villanova proves to be an important game and a necessary win at home that will aid Big East tournament hopes.
A win would for the final home game of the season will honor the senior class, along with past alumni of the program who have been invited to the game.
The men then travel to Durham, N.C. to play one last out of conference against the Duke Blue Devils on Saturday April 19.
Their final game in Big East play is scheduled for Saturday, April 26 against Georgetown. The Scarlet Knights will travel to Washington D.C. to face the Hoya.
The men's lacrosse Big East tournament will begin on May 1, held at Villanova.
As the regular season comes to a close, the Scarlet Knights along with the other men's lacrosse teams, will prepare for their second season in the form of tournament play.
The game will be played at High Point Solutions Stadium and will also be online via Gametracker.

The FFT is usable only for specific values of the time and frequency spacings; (their
product must be the inverse of a highly composite integer). In practice, however, we find
arbitrary spacings, and thus the FFT is not directly applicable. The chirp-z transform
allows one to compute the DFT in these cases with the complexity of the FFT. Following
there is an efficient implementation of this transform for generic time and frequency
grids, and a short demo for validation. Just place all the code in a file named
Demo.m and execute it.

Hey there fellow Texans! I was wondering if any of you are in the DFW area - and if there were any suggestions for bulb retailers. I have found them at the big box stores, but I'd like to find somewhere that has them individually or that carries specialty bulbs, like the Clusiana Tulips, so that I can naturalize them. Thanks so much for the help! Michelle |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by cynthianovak 7/8 TX (My Page) on Sat, Sep 14, 13 at 21:35
I can't help you find them locally but I do have a suggestion. Order on line. I picked up some anemones at Costco that are larger than the other BB stores. About $12 for 100. But for something like Clusiana tulips or Byzantine Glads that will naturalize easily here I order online. Of course, you could raid a field and fine Lady Jane Clus. or the Byz. glads but this way you can get a lot and not get shot. I'll leave you a link below but do check out Vanengelen.com too. BTW I've had Clus. Cynthia return for years. |

I was at Costco in Rockwall last weekend, and they had some bulbs that would work in north Texas: : Daffs: they had Baby Boomer and Pipit (2 jonquil-types), Mount Hood, and Ice Follies : Muscari: They had Valerie Finnis (light blue) and armeniacum. : Dutch Iris: Several different varieties They may have others, but these are what I noticed. I bought some jonquils and muscari. |
Northhaven Gardens typically has a pretty neat selection, but their prices can be a little high. They have a lot of saffron crocus right now for 60-something cents a piece. |
- Posted by cynthianovak 7/8 TX (My Page) on Fri, Sep 20, 13 at 0:00
Barkingwoods You have more south friendly daffs at your Costco than they have here in Arlington. Today I picked up anemones, freesia and dutch iris. 100 freesia, mixed colors very nice size for about $12 Same for the anemones. 50 each Mr Focker and Sylphide. Hmmm maybe there are more coming..... |
- Posted by barkingdogwoods 8a-east Texas (My Page) on Fri, Sep 20, 13 at 20:00
I bought some anemones last year - the pink and purple ones that look delicate like crepe paper. They were gorgeous when they came up! This year I'm trying ranuculus instead. The Costco I go to is in Rockwall. They had a bunch of other daffs that I didn't know as being southern-friendly (like Unsurpassable and Double Dukat), but all of the ones I mentioned except Ice Follies were in the $12 bag (and usually 50 daffs for $12) - Ice Follies were $19 for 90 bulbs - all of these are incredible prices... Lin aka bdw |
- Posted by cynthianovak 7/8 TX (My Page) on Fri, Sep 20, 13 at 22:08
Oooh, $19 bags? Now I know I need to go back. They had not made it to Arlington yet. Why not have anemones AND Ranunculus? I'll plant my anemones in mid October, they will be up and blooming mid January and will bloom until it gets hot. I plant the Ranunculus in Dec and they bloom March or April. warning I am a known bulbaholic. There is no such thing as too many bulbs in a pot or on a lot. Smiles. |
- Posted by barkingdogwoods 8a-east Texas (My Page) on Sat, Sep 21, 13 at 13:23
They actually had more of the $19 bags than they did last week when I was at Costco, so they definitely got another shipment in. I was hoping my anemones might come back - figure I'd give them a chance, anyway. I may have planted them late last year, but they bloommed nicely. I want to show the little "hands" of ranuculus in a class I'm teaching. I am also a bulbaholic. I bought some iris reticulata "Harmony" at Costco because on the package they showed them crowded in a pot, and I have just the pot to put them in! The folks at the checkout, and the lady checking my receipt on the way out, each did a second take/extra count of all of my bags of bulbs because I had so many. I really wanted some more Ice Follies (one of my favorite Daffs) and wanted to try Mount Hood, and these prices are lower than even my wholesale sources (plus my favorite on-line source is sold out of Ice Follies). If you like daffs, may I suggest that you try some Pink Charm? I won't know how well they perennialize till this spring, but they were GORGEOUS last year in my garden. They mature to a really pretty pink, with large trumpets. Even if they don't come back, they're worth planting for the show. Lin |
- Posted by cynthianovak 7/8 TX (My Page) on Wed, Sep 25, 13 at 9:16
Thanks Lin Went back to Arl. Costco and found the big bags. Saw Mount Hood, but no Ice Follies. I might go with Einstein, resisted temptation yesterday. Next week is another story... When do you plant your Ranunculus? |
- Posted by barkingdogwoods 8a-east Texas (My Page) on Thu, Sep 26, 13 at 0:08
I haven't planted them before, but I thought I'd put them in the ground next month .... |

Olivia, a Farmingdale Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Farmingdale, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Farmingdale.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Farmingdale already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Farmingdale breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Farmingdale paves the way for another one to be saved.

Oct 30, 2013 6:10 PM by Jeanette Trompeter
Just a month or so ago, it was named one of the 15 most spectacular pools in the world by a travel website...and it IS spectacular. But the Neptune Pool at Hearst castle has some problems. And this week the long process of trying to deal with those began.
Some 40-million people likely have pictures in their vacation albums of the Neptune Pool. It is the most photographed spot at Hearst Castle and there's no doubt why. It's stunning from every angle. But below the surface, the picture ain't so pretty.
Time has taken it's toll and water above is making it through the cracks and crevices that have slowly emerged over the last 80 years or so. "We know it leaks." says Hoyt Fields, Museum Director for Hearst Castle. "We loose between 3000 and 5000 gallons of water a day."
That's why there's a lot of activity going on below the surface of the Neptune Pool this week. "If we continue to loose the water, the sides will start to deteriorate and implode." says Fields.
State Parks divers are assessing the damage, marking each tile that's cracked, and finding out if those cracks lead to crevices that leak by injecting a blue dye that will be drawn into voids behind the tiles if they're there.
It won't be an easy or inexpensive fix, but when the Hearst family handed the castle over to the state it offered up the biggest tourist and financial draw in the state park system, and letting the Neptune pool disintegrate isn't an option. "We are required by the Deed of Gift to maintain the castle to the standards required by the Hearst Corporation. That was an acceptance by the governor of California back in 1957." explains Fields.
The pool is filled using water from a spring about five miles East of the castle in the Santa Lucia Mountain Range. Phoebe Apperson Hearst bought the rights to that spring in the late 1800's. The Hearst Corporation still owns rights to that spring.
Once divers and assessment crews finish all the work in the pool, they'll come up with a report on how bad the damage is, and propose a few alternatives on how best to fix it. That report will go to the state sometime after the first of the year. Then the task at hand is figuring out when to fix it.
Vacation pictures won't likely include the pool during that time when it sits empty and under construction, but that process won't last forever. And it will keep this iconic image in vacation albums for generations to come...rather than just history books.
A dream for a lot of people is to swim in that pool. They don't open it up for that often for swims, but occasionally as fundraisers for repairs like this.

M11x Owners with Hinge Problems
1. Cpt.Zero Philippines 2months old 1st repair damaged: broken plastic hinge lock
2. jonjonk Yep, that's right. After being fed up with replacing the screen over and OVER due to it being weak, I have had enough. After the Dell rep replaced my screen, I asked him if it was OK for me to keep the old monitor so that I could find the source of the problem. Although he initially disagreed, I plead and plead until he finally gave in and gave me the broken screen (I guess it's my lucky day!).
3.azazul22 I have my M11x since 5 Months and i have 5x repaired from Dell my hinge on the fifth x my Motherboard are crashed from the Dell Technican next day he have make a new motherbard replacement ;0) very good Netbook but a very bad hinge.
4. Xalgon 5months old 2x repair Got my first m11x replaced due to my left hinge freaking and catastrophic failure with the parts being shipped. It lasted three months. The replacement just starting acting up, this time the right hinge. Two months with this one.
5. DR650SE Called Dell months ago about my hinge, and still waiting on the replacement screen to arrive. the current one is so busted, that the screen and the base sit flat on the ground. 180* open. Unusable. If the replacement doesn't arrive by the time I leave Iraq I'll get it replaced when I get home.
6. Thomas@pc 5months old 1x repair

16. hikarate My m11x was barely 2 months old when the hinge began cracking hard. In any case, Cpt Zero please update my status to "Repaired after 1 month of waiting for parts".
17. Mixtli Hinge Repired once, but now my keybord's screwed up. Insted of lying flt, it peks n dips like mountin rnge, nd severl keys don't work. Notice the missing letter in my sentences. My tech screwed up my touchpd also.
18. jasonyu668- USA- 2 months laptop replaced with hinge problem. 4 months later broken again- replaced screen. 8months now- the hinge is broken again.
19. townfries My hinges started to squeak yesterday so I called dell today but they said it's nothing to worry about. I guess I will have to wait until the hinges break and call them again.
20. diabiosx mine broke in 5months had 1repair.
21. KSSR1211 Recived a replacement unit after the first 20 days due to the plastic cover over the screen coming loose. 4 months Hinge replaced.
22. bus_dr1v3r 1x replaced. You can add me to the list, I'm sending mine off Monday morning to have the hinges repaired.
23. varnado 1x repaired I'm in UK, no fedex, no tech guy! lolz just glue at the moment.
24. mohaa7 I'm having problem with hinges at the moment and sticking out palm rest on the right side and Dell might have to swap it with a "brand new one".
25. LingJ This is ridiculous. That has been the second time that my hinge has broken. Going to try to get a refund but most likely won't get it. :|.
26. SoBo I have left hinge broken too but I am from Czech republic, my m11x is from USA, i have 1 year warranty, is there any possibility, to transfer warranty to czech to get it repair for free??
27. Actraiser i super glued it thx for help.
28. Mixtli I'm so effin pissed. Would've been better if they just shipped the LCD screen to me so that I could install it myself.
29. Zlog My hinge on the left side (if you are looking at the screen) is busted. It still opens and closes ok, but i really need to call dell. pathetic.
30. Bendak My hinge appears to have a little bit of play when moved forwards and backwards.
31. xAdadglgmutx Okay so I bought my m11x when bestbuy first started selling them and just recently noticed my left hinge is making that weird noise and movement like the video (I forgot who posted it sorry). Now can I have a tech from dell come out and fix this or am I going to have to send it out (which I don't really want to do).
32. jembot I have the same developing hinge problem on my m11x so i decided to do the "preventive measure" move. And since it's already out of warranty and i don't want it to break any further, i went ahead with a DIY fix. Btw, bought this thing last May.
33. LockOn arg my less then 2 week old r2s right hinge is starting to creek (but not all the time) really wish they would do a recall but thats not going to happen.
34. Duffking So if I phone support for a hinge replacement it's pretty much just going to break again and again? Sheesh.
35. THX5334 This hinge/build quality issue has hit it's limit for me. It's a common belief, and one that I share, that Dell is not going to take the appropriate steps to fix this problem.
36. Master. My broke within one month, did not send it back, it just going to happen again. Quickly took the case apart, put some liquid steel on it, put it back together, back of the case does not fit down 100%, better than having play in the screen or cracking noises.
37. fnord0 hah, just seeing this polll for the first time! I bought my m11x R1 in march 2010, the hinges bork'd themselves (BOTH) in sept 2010
38. Blazertrek50 Last week my hinge started making a slight cracking noise when I closed or opened it. Since then it has gotten more pronounced
39. MarcusFenix Literally just days after that replacement (less than 10) I just heard my hinge make a weird noise. I felt the hinge and its weak and looks to be splitting apart, vs the one on the right which appears fine.
40. Alienware-Joel I've had my M11x R2 for just under a month I believe. After around 20 days the hinge was raising quite significantly - caught it in the beginning stages. Dell's fetching the part and hopefully replacing my screen next week.
41. Chuck Dugan My lunar hinges were fine, then I got the screen replaced because the screen was coming out of the housing. Now the hinge pops when opened and the opposite corner of the screen is coming out now! They shall be getting another call from me. Joy.
42. ACHlLLES First replaced due to poor build. LCD lid was not aligned with the bottom housing when closed, so basically, it had the lid going in one direction and the bottom housing going the other when closed. Replaced for second time due to the field tech raping it. I was offered a new system replacement, but declined it thinking it won't be a life changing experience.
43. Luminair My m11x is currently on the way to Dell, but I bought my system in June. Had a creak since I first opened it, and failed the paper test. Hinges finally split open completely last week. I've since sold it to a buddy and bought an m17x.
44. JakeL645 Mine does that too! I opened it up to check the hinge and it appears that the metal rod passing through both the hinges has detached itself from the plastic part of the hinge and my right hinge is fine. Is rather annoying and worrying hearing a loud scrape of plastic when I open it sometimes ><
45. ejohnson Mine broke at about 4 months, they sent me a brand new laptop. I would open the laptop in the morning and close it at night. No noise from the hinges even after it broke.
46. keftih The left hinge just started creaking a few days ago and the lid is wobbly.
47. tk112190 When you say wobbly.. do you mean like, you can gently hit the back of the lid as you're looking at it and typing... and it kind of shakes? If so... I'm having this problem too! CRAPPPP.
48. Spalding Second time I have had this happen, the first time i called tech support and had the screen replaced within the week. Both times it occurs with the left sides hinge, over time it just tightens up to the point where it won't move, eventually it begins to creak eventually seizing up all together, calling support to tomorrow to schedule a replacement.
49. SAIKOUUU Well, only two months in and the hinge issue that many others have had has debilitated my laptop. The hinge is cracking open the back part of the LCD panel. It sounds like the doors in horror movies when you open it up.
50. ita_a551n Mine actually did this too, Dell just gave me the option to get a brand new system so I took it.. It was like my old m15x all over again lol, oh the memories.
51. Wiggy Fuzz my hinge creaks loudly occasionally - i heard most people's did, so i did nothing about mine.
52. Frenchris The same problem happened to me yesterday... Holy S.... I don t want to send it back to dell !!! :-((((
53. kbc88 EDIT: I checked it again multiple times, its not a loud obnoxious crack. It literally sounds like a soft click noise as if it were latching to something.
54. Super Octet About the "click" you can hear when you open or close the lid, it's a big problem that happened to me last week. At first I thought the sound was normal, but once I closed the lid and the hinge broke.
turns out, the hinges are screwed in plastic and the plastic broke by itself. The tech told me that he wouldn't be surprised if it was to happen again and that it had to be taken care of by the warranty.
55. santa-u2 Mine looks exactly like yours. after reading this post, I am worried about the hinge on my computer too. Guess I will need to invest some money on warranty later =\
56. lksing78 "Sorry sir we cannot done anything to it cause this is wear and tear issue and you have to pay for the replacement" They sure know how to talk and walk away from it .
58. PerPixel I had my monitor replaced yesterday. I have a R1 units from early march with the screen coming out but I was on a long business trip so I kept it like that. After a few week the left hinge broke. I was a bit shocked to see how the hinge are designed actually. The center part is very strong and made of metal but each side are only hold by the 2 side of the plastic cover on the monitor case. I didn't see any screw holding both part together so I guess the plastic clip holding both cover side just broke after a while from the pressure given when you close the monitor.
59. midnight2kx So my laptop has the same problems. I't pops when i open/close and its all mis-aligned etc.. I talked to dell customer service and sent the photo's like they asked. hopefully they will fix the hinge soon. Ive only had it for less then 2 months!
60. philburkhardt Yup, had my LCD replaced 3 days ago because of it.
61. hanzocloud yeah had this laptop for a few months and the hinge is really annoying now.. makes a cracking sound everytime i lift up the screen..... and to think alienware charges premium price for their sh*t... next laptop im getting wont be alienware thats for sure !!!
62. CobraJet I think I have the same issue as you midnight2kx. It was making a clicking sound every know and then and then all of a sudden the hinge on the right just split open. I called Dell last week and they are going to replace the screen this week some time. Does anyone know how long it takes for the tech to call? Dell said within 32 hours but that time has gone and went ...
63. burnoutuk Have the same issue. Constant clicking or popping noises from the screen bouncing back and forth.Guess i'll contact Support once I've finished work.Grrrr
64. jabij5 I just had my screen replaced. The squeaking noise is gone but I have a feeling it might come back since the gap on the right side is still bigger than on the left. Does anyone not have this problem? Is it worth it to keep asking for a screen replacement or will there always be a gap difference
65. LockOn usa-repaired at 3months they broke at 2months, i dont think a video is necessary basically any noise from hinges is not good mine makes a creaking sound as i open and close it or even just move around if its on my lap
66. Phantom3D Just got my hinge fixed by a tech. I actually broke the day before he came, it was just noisy before. I have a bad feeling the problem will come again, and if it does, I will demand a refund..
67. Rotsu And now i just got the M11x R2 and i see this problem . . mine is still intact but i guess sooner or later it will fall apart. What is up with Alienware and Dell? Do they just love to lose customers or something? Everytime i give them another chance, they never failed to FAIL me.
68. Arcanum84 I bought my R2 in Japan, and everything from sales to service is handled through Dell. While it would be nice to contact Alienware directly, Dell here in Japan has been very quick to respond to problems and have been pretty accommodating. The techs haven't been that great, but Dell Japan has been excellent in promptly setting up repair dates, keeping me informed and ultimately sending me a replacement machine.
69. biglos Had broken a hinge on my laptop. Contacted Dell and planned on paying for the replacement as I believed it was my fault. After I paid for what I believe was a "New" replacement screen with hinges, I was told to expect the parts in 5 day.
70. CaptainMorgan After 5 months, the hinge on both sides broke. You could hold the computer over and the screen would flop open. No big deal, since its under warranty. Tech came out and put in a new top screen. I lifted it up and it felt a bit heavier than before. Actually, it was a bit noticeable.
71. jdbaker82 Well this sucks I need to have my LCD replaced I guess because my hinge is starting to make noises.
72. Arcanum84 My original screen was an AUO, but I've had my screen replaced twice and both times it was an SEC screen. I'm waiting for a replacement machine now and am curious what screen I'll get (hoping for an SEC).
73. teedoff00 ya know slickie, you're absolutely right! It is raised and when I press it it it gives a plastic clicking sound. What should I do? I didn't notice it until now but it is definitely not flush, the other side (left) is.
74. sagman76 agggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh My replacement arrrived a couple of hours after they took my old one away today. Great I thought not without laptop for anytime but.......Its worse than the first one!. I am so angry its hard to put into words.
75. Beerface I've had my M11x R1 for some months now, i forget the exact month i got it, maybe around March/April. The screen has always touched the keyboard leaving greasy marks which has been fairly annoying as the screen is so damn reflective. However its not really bothered me much as i know i can clean them off every so often.My hinge however has just broken unfortunately it seems all dell laptops have a high chance of suffering from this.
76. virtuehero OK, my turn now, after about 6 months of trouble free, my left hinge cracked and broken the day before yesterday, called Dell yesterday and the screen changed today. Now I have a samsung panel. The service is quite good. But after viewing all these posts, I'm worrying about what to do when the garantee goes out
77. surfxombie Well the left hinge is making a "creaking" sound so I guess I have a developing problem.
78. 1Coopgt Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my left hinge broke yesterday. I went to close the laptop & I hear a crack. Now opening and closing it I can hear it creaking and cracking. Time to call Dell& get this fixed under warrantee.
79. thewelshboyo I called up Alienware to get my newly cracking hinge problem fixed. They told me they don't have screens in stock until 10th September. My screen wobbles about 1", maybe more. The left hinge keeps cracking open too.
80. VikingBastich I've had my m11x a month or so since it came out. I've been hearing cracking on the left hinge for a few weeks now. Not every time but enough to worry me. I already had my Mobo replaced once due to random power offs while unplugged and being carried around... Now I fear I'm going to have to call and get the screen replaced.
81. TXChainsaw I have had a tech come to my house twice for the hinges. First time was the left hinge. The second time, last week, both hinges, and he also replaced the monitor due to what appeared to be flecks of plastic under the glass(?). I'm guessing the flecks occured during assembly, or possibly from the hinges themselves? Either way they are fixed.
82. rpg-XPS I have my R1 about six months and over the last couple of weeks the left hinge has lost it's strength and has begun to crack/creak while opening. When lid is closed it sits 3/4mm higher off the base than the right side. It can be rectified by gently pressing down on the hinge to level it out, only to return to this position after an open/close of the laptop.
83. Sailboat535 I had purchased my M11X from Best Buy a few months ago, and I am noticing my left hinge is faulty, almost to the point of breaking now. I was told I was covered by the 1 Year MFG warranty, so I should be OK with getting it fixed through Dell correct?
84. mobilezila Ok, so my m11xR2 hinges have started creaking whenever I open or close the lid, and I also noticed that my hinges are uneven. Can anyone confirm if the issue has really been fixed with the newer m11xR2's, and if DELL will replace the screens with the newer hinge materials for us folks who purchased the m11xR2s before the fix?
85. jor2704 After 3 months, R1 hinge finally gave way. Tech coming over tomorrow to fixed it. Will update.
86. smoothoperator Chalk it up to getting caught up in the hype. I cannot trust this piece of crap while travelling. I remember when the alienware first came out everyone was talking about how great the build quality was. I have never heard of hinges failing within 4 months of normal use (if not less). I hope this thread proves to Dell that they have forever tainted the Alienware brand by releasing such a crappy product. Lesson learned never again.
87. iceColdgin /Philippines/m11xR1/ - left hinge has a slight play already after only 3 months of use. there are no cracks but lid does not close properly. i need to push the left hinge down a little
88. drsqueggy Hey guys. My right hinge makes a clicking sound when opening and closing. I can see that the plastics on the hinge seem to come apart then click back together when moving the screen back and forth. I'm quite worried as I bought the laptop pretty cheap over ebay, its also a German version, with a German keyboard. Will I have warranty? If it does break, will Dell UK (I live in the UK) come out and fix it?
89. Freeride600 Count me in - 6 months, two busted hinges. three months seems to be the lifespan. LOL
90. streather Reasonably sure my left hinge is about to give up on me, makes a creaking noise, and is out of line with the rest of the laptop when you close the lid, feels loose etc.
91. ericgedi77 You can add me to this list, I had my screen replaced after a month of owning my M11xR2. I received it in August, the replacement LCD hinges seem to be holding up well, but it is way out of alignment and does not close properly. I did not call for a second repair because I wanted to see if the hinges would hold up, and the technician that came out did not inspire much confidence in me.
92. virtuehero Add me on: left hinge broke after 6 months of use. Screen changed (now a Samsung one). The positive side is the SAV service is actually quite good: il took me 30 seconds on the phone plus a photo by email to get everything fixed the next day morning.
93. Lewis Moon Dell's m11x is a wonderful, fast gaming laptop with one FATAL flaw: it has a design defect; the screen hinges separate from the chassis with normal use. This defect has occurred in a LOT of computers.
94. beomsu21 To all, what is the best way to process a repair/replacement hinge/LCD bezel. I never had an issue with my hinge until recently and now it feels like if I keep opening and closing it anymore it is going to snap.
95. Pbure97 You can add me to the list if you want. Hinges were damaged, were repaired within warranty one day after calling Dell (new lcd).
96. CZroe I bought it the very first day it was available at Best Buy (early April). The left hinge started creaking in May or early June. It completely split open shortly after, possibly July. It was replaced shortly after with a different panel and now has extra antenna leads (WWAN?). I never noted what panel it originally had, but it did look better. The problems have not returned but I stopped carrying it places and so it has gotten very little use since.
97. (Txc)Traveler Add me to the list, my left hinge broke and split my screen too, plus lost rubber feet and laptop is overheating, going to be sent to repair center via mail. Very disapointed, ive only had this laptop for 4 months, I should have known, I returned a dell studio 14z because it was broken out of the box and i bought this instead, and now it breaks too,if my 11x it breaks again after it gets repaired, I will never buy dell again and will never reccomend AW or dell to my friends, It saddens me that as a kid I dreamed of owning an alienware and now that I finally got around to getting one, I loved it till it broke, and it kinda killed the buzz for me since it crapped out on me, I am now feeling a little worried jsut carrying around my laptop.
98. ejohnson Add me to the list, I broke one hinge last month. Got a replacement laptop. Now the left hinge on that one is getting a little loose and moving around more, my guess is it will break with in the week as thats what my last one did. I open my laptop once in the morning when I get to work, then close it before I leave work. 5 Times a week, so im not over working the hinges.
99. giangn626 - (US) I've had my hinge replaced the first month after I got my M11x. My hinge was pretty much gone at that point. Now, the hinge sits unevenly and I have a ton of scratches from the keyboard and the top piece. The scratches don't bother me enough to have the whole screen replaced again. I will before the warranty is up.
100. Fraggable - (US) I've had my M11x for about 5 months and have had keyboard smudges on the screen and a larger gap on the left side of the hinge than on the right for the entire time. Hasn't been worth trying to have it repaired yet, but if Dell releases a fix plan/recall I'd love to have it corrected.
101. theneighborrkid I don't think I posted in here before, but my friend and I both had to get our hinges repaired... Got mine at launch, he got his in summer.
102. tears You can add me to the list, but then again I thought you were specifically talking about broken hinges, not things that are an result of crappy hinges like a scratched screen...
103. sagman76 Same as above...I have had two with misaligned hinges/screen touching keyboard. My 3rd or present system has the key touching issue and there is still a slight gap. I didnt have them repaired, just exchanged. I am sure there are many more like this but the title implies completely broken hinges. I think I still have my photos of both old systems somewhere. They are in a couple of old threads here too. Screen touching keyboard thread I think.
104. root I have an issue with mine, It is not cracked, but when you close it. The LCD goes up in the back, and I must push it back down to get the LCD flush with the base again.
105. armoured Ugh. Ordered the first day it was released. 1x replaced.
106. Teh N00b My hinge is making loud cracking noises when I open it, as well as being loose. When I close it, the lid is quite obviously out of place. Count me in as one of those unfortunate
107. cleverpseudonym i didn't read this whole thread, but i Bought a R1 the other day and the Hinges were creaking all to hell & the previous owner had tried some sort of fix, i called dell and told them it was making noise and it felt like it was going to break, and i had a replacement screen assembly in 2 days. was the easiest time ive ever had with dell. i was pleasantly surprised for sure, hell the thing is like bran new now. i did have to totally disassemble the thing to replace it, but i sure wasn't going to let some tard Dell tech replace it. thought id post a positive experience since most of the time these threads are all about hate.
108. bus_dr1v3r I was just going to update and say that mine still has not been repaired because it took me almost 3 weeks to get a box in. I can't be mad though, at least it is in the process of a repair. I almost want to open mine up and see how they repaired it when it gets back, but I'm afraid to void my warranty now!
109. hoofhearted My m11x's left hinge broke internally a few months ago. I just call Alienware this past Sunday and they scheduled a tech to call me some time this week.
110. Arak-Nafein Hey guys. Add me to the club. Same old story; my right hinge started making the noise, now it's broken internally. I'm going to have to call Dell & get them to fix it. My right speaker is dead as well.
111. keftih I don't think my hinge is going to last much longer and I'm going to be away from home for about 2 months. So I'm considering doing the job myself (if Dell agrees to ship me the part). Plus, maybe I can reinforce the hinges myself while I'm in there.
112. CoMMy Please add me as well. After 8 months of being an R1 m11x owner, the left hinge started breaking and crackling... DELL Support here is really bad and giving me a hard time to even fix this to begin with. Had same issue on m15x and i thought it was fixed.... too bad they lie too much at DELL.
113. Vallejo Add another one to the list ( Me ) 6 months with the laptop, and yesterday I notice that I have this problem (The one vorob post he had, (The one above)). What I'm really getting worried about is that I live in mexico, and I dont know if they can give me technical support here...I will call them tomorrow to see what will happen. Even worst, this was my first alienware pc, and probably the last one.
114. adan197 Hi guys, I'm new to the forum here but this hinge issue has been plaguing me since I bought my m11x. The screen started out a little shaky, not perfect but it was within the tolerable range. I had half a mind to call Dell support then. But since I need my laptop virtually everyday for classes, I hesitated to get it fixed. Over the months, the screen got more shaky and I discovered that it was actually due to the broken hinge. I think the flawed design of the hinge is the issue here. Every time I opened the screen, it seems to generate an opposite force which, gradually, tears the hinges apart.
115. Zeromus-X I posted in another thread before I saw this one, so I'll say it here again -- m11x R1 owner since June 11. About a month ago, I noticed my left hinge was crooked and you could move it with a light touch when closed. I haven't contacted Dell yet because I'm more curious to know what their response to the current problem will be. Also, I use the laptop for work and would rather not be without it as much as possible.
116. Tedster59 well, now the keyboard touching the screen is leaving marks that will not come off with some elbow grease and some eyeglasses cleaner and the little clothe the fluid comes with. and now the hinges are getting weaker.
117. cla1000 Well, after like 3 weeks of ownership. my left hinge is moving out of its way and creeks rather nastly. I called dell and they promissed a brand new replacement. My original one is an m11xr2 I7 black that I bought refurbished from dell outlet. I asked the guy at coustumer service if he is sure that I will be getting a new one and he said yes for sure. Well after a week I just got my "brand new replacement" and it has a refurb stiker on the back, oh and its lunar shadow not black. It seems to be in ok condition but the hinge seems as week as the original one even tho the guy said that they fixed the problem and the one I originally got should not have the hinge problem any more. That is why he wanted me to send the unit back instead of them sending a tech to fix it at home, so they can study the problem.
118. santa-u2 got mine replaced back in 2 months ago. since it replaced, the screen is working ok but making noises still when closing the lid. not going to bother asking dell but planning to get extended warranty for my machine. =\
119. LupinTheThird damn, my left hinge just broke after 6 months.
120. beomsu21 I call DELL and advise of them my issue and they quickly send in a tech to replace it. I have to say, the replacement LCD is exactly the same and I have a feeling in the next few I will have to call about the same issue. It is a piece of cheap plastic. Aside from this, I do have to say my tech was very polite and seemed to know what to do. I give a B+, but if you don't trust the tech, tell him to stop and you will need to call DELL again for another tech. Just request a replacement if you have any hinge issues, it definitely is a defect and not wear and tear. Good luck.
121. tr0picana My hinges crapped out after roughly 6 months of having the R1. I had a meeting set up and a Dell technician came with a new screen. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to successfully replace the screen as it was his first time working on the M11x. He did however get his experienced colleague to replace the screen 2 days later. His colleague replaced the screen and returned the laptop to its original condition. Very pleased with the way everything was handled.
122. plectophera My left hinge just died on me real bad. The hinge itself is cracked open, the screen body has cracks from the extreme tension. Calling support tomorrow, I hope they're nice about this stuff in Norway.
123. RoachX My R1 hinge started getting loose and creaky ~5 months after purchase. It is now at the point where the plastic comes apart (though i can snap it back together) so it is time i call dell to get it serviced. My question is, has dell actually come up with a proper fix or will the repair/replacement eventually give out as well. If that is the case i will have look into getting my warrenty extended (Is that even an option?).
124. benchmade42 Only two months!! The laptop was bought in USA, no warranty in Colombia, only in USA, I have to buy a regional warranty, is a disappointment for a laptop with only 2 months of use. Please help me Dell!!
125. stevenxowens792 I purchased 2 m11xs this year. 1 for my wife first (the first day they were available to order for the general public) and 1 for me. Both r1's. I sold mine. My wife still has her's. She just now has the unfortunate luck to experience the hinge issue. So now I have to go through the support call mess. What I am saying is that I really like the notebook. It has deserved the POP it's received. Still nothing close in size that performs in it's market.
126. m11xuser9999 Add me to the list of defective hinges. Had the m11xR2 i7 since August 2010, and now the screen wobbles, and I notice the right hinge is looking pretty loose. This certainly is a defect, since the laptop has not been dropped, or used aggressively in any way, it mostly just sits on a desk. I understand Alienware has acknowledged this problem recently, and I hope Alienware comes up with a solution very soon.
127. plectophera It sounds like 'yo hinges gonna snap soon, really. Mines started off like you described, now the entire screen back panel (!) cracks open. ha. Calling Dell support sunday/monday.
128. suefourmet Add another one to the list of M11x broken hinges. I bought mine early on and have had no problem with it at all until I opened it this morning and discovered a badly cracked hinge that allowed my display to extend outside of the frame. I'll call Dell tomorrow and leave my laptop open until I get some repairs.
129. keftih I think a misaligned screen leads to the screen touching the keyboard issue. From what I've seen, it's the creaking hinge that usually is the tell tale sign of a dying hinge =[ Update for my hinges: By now, both of my hinges split open whenever I close the lid, but I won't be able to return home for another 2 weeks. I hope it can last until then!
130. Danyo26 Add another to the list - hinge was busted open back in August (bought in March) and replaced, and now this one is starting to wobble and click when opening/closing it... I love this laptop, and some of my friends got in on my recommendation, but now I'm regretting telling them about it =\
131. roadogaj Well, I have joined the list of folks who had their hinge issue repaired. My hinges started out fine, then steadily got tighter, and started making the legendary cracking sound. I finally stopped closing the lid for fear of breaking the lid completely off. Small pieces of black plastic were falling out of the hinges as well.
132. skidillydoo Had my LCD replaced TWICE. despite the great customer service, i am incredibly disappointed with the build design.
133. garrison72 these hinge issues are really annoying..mine's starting to make small snapping sounds..
134. armoured Called AW today, told them my hinge problem and they had the nerve to try to sell me an extended warranty because mine runs out in 80 days. They told me the problem is with the screen - not the hinge, which is completely BS. This is an defect in the engineering. When I run out of warranty and this happens again, I will go out of my way to convince everyone I know to never deal with AW again. This is total crap. I know it's going to happen again, it's their fault for designing this crap hinge; I'm stuck with a defective product that either Dell or AW is trying to hide.
135. gh0stwizard Russia, M11x R1: Broken hinge after roughly six month of use, display and hinges replaced after 5 days.
136. Zlog Not like Dell REALLY cares, but I'm on my 3rd hinge, and its very evident that I'll soon be calling for my fourth hinge. My first replacement was...... 4-5 months after I got it? It's in this thread i think somewhere. I had that one replaced a couple months ago as it completely failed and I couldn't close my screen. This one I'm on currently, (same side every time, mind you) is creaks and clicks when you start to open or close it, and theres a good centimeter of mis-alignment during the process that i can "push back down" when it's closed. Real awesome, Dell. You guys need to fire your engineers. Bunch of idiots if you ask me "Lets just screw this hinge into the plastic!"
137. Arcanum84 I got a new replacement M11x back in October, and the plastic covers on the hinges have been making a creaking sound ever since I got it, and it's been getting a little worse over time. The sound doesn't happen when the lid is being opened, it only happens after it is opened and if something causes the screen to wobble. For example, if I move it from one desk to another while the screen is open I can hear the creaking sound, and I also hear it if I move the screen back and forth slightly while it's open. There is some play with the plastic hinge covers, and with the lid closed I can move them up and down slightly, which causes the sound.
138. TalonH Opened my laptop today and I heard a CRACK. *sigh. On the phone now. EDIT: Alienware has the best support. Will report back in later on how the repair went.
139. Skools717 My left hinge seems to be breaking it clicks every time i open up the laptop and it stick out more that usual. the other one is fine but will this problem get worse or should i be fine if i just stick with it. I know others have had problems with the hinges, the laptop is still under warranty ive only had it for about 5 months
140. Cabb I just had my m11x R1 since 18/11/2010 but I am a bit worried about my hinges..but it can also be that I am really sensitive about it becuz it is a known problem.. Right now the left hing moves a bit up but really really minimal and it makes a slight pop sound when it is opened..
141. streather chalk me up for a repair, hinges went a few weeks ago, but it wasn't an issue until today, phoned alienware up, got a guy on the phone and arranged a repair in under 5 minutes
142. m11xfan hey guys. i am glad i found this forum thread. i have been using my m11x for 5 months. i use it about 3 times a week for a couple hours. the first month was completely fine but ive noticed that the screen was becoming some what loose when it is in "open" position during the 2nd month. it didn't bother me too much since it was holding on its own. it finally happened when i tried to use my laptop this morning. i heard a "pop" and noticed there is a small black plastic piece in the top of the lcd screen and my hinges seemed to popped out. i tried to put the hinges back in but it seems like the screen gets stuck when i try to open it.( could be opened with a small amount of applied force) i bought my laptop from bestbuy. do i go there to get this fixed? can i get this fixed under dell's 1 year manufacturer's warranty? i still cant believe how the hinges would just not work properly out of the blue.
143. Docsteel Add my name to the list, bought an M11x-R1 and after less than 1 month the left hinge started creaking and you can see the hinge on that side sticks out and has a larger gap than the right one. Contrast to my nearly 1 year old M17x-R2 that is used daily with no problems outside of a GPU fan that died. EDIT: I noticed this morning in the light that the creaking is coming from where the left hinge casing is rubbing against the body of the computer, I can actually press on the hinge and it will shift back a bit from the body.
144. flanders 45 days into m11x ownership and my left hinge is making a slight click when i open past a certain point. Oh Nooooo! At least I have 319 days left on my warranty :-)
145-147. Pbure97 My already replaced lcd panel (due to faulty hinge) has also cracked. So, I received my third lcd panel today. Not a goog quality one, as there seems to be a lot of space between the screen and the plastic cover. Also, some gap at the top near the webcam. First time I noticed liquid bleeding when I was only opening the lid (it's normal if you press on the cover, but not if you only open the lid). On the plus side, I received a panel with extra WWAN antennas.
148-149. johnnatch I bought my m11x six months ago and had my screen replaced exactly three months after the purchase. Now the right hinge on my second screen is beginning to crack. I don't believe DELL is going to address this problem in any way. They are known to refrain from recalls of products with obvious design faults (relying on fixing them under warranty). I suggest we take some organized action. I cannot believe that WIRED still rates m11x as an "Editors Pic", even though the design fault is obvious.
150. Fuzzyhead three months after first replacement (#11 on the list): Hinges failed another time, second replacement: display plus hinges
151-154. datniceguy Lol, I'm on my fourth m11x as we speak. My very first m11x had the hinge problem. Second m11x, the technician in Northern Virginia stripped all my screws on my backplate, plus one of the screws wouldn't go in at all. My third m11x, they upgraded me to an R2 - it's screen was so dim on the brightest setting it was comparative to high brightness on the first two laptops I had (not a power setting issue, GPU/mobo issue). ...and now I'm on my fourth, a refurb m11x R1 (opted for the older one because the R2 got three hours of battery life out of my use vs. six hours on my R1's). Lol, this fourth one doesn't sit flat to the ground, the left side of the laptop makes a creaking sound EVERYTIME I pick it up, and the power button light doesn't show white. Ugh, I love this laptop so much, but the QA at Dell is totally dropping the ball. That, or the build quality on this laptop is just straight shoddy. I think I take the prize home as "Unluckiest m11x Owner on NBR". FOUUUUUUR - and another one because I don't feel comfortable keeping this one either... If there's a Dell rep lurking these boards, they better come talk to me quick because as quick as the replacements have come, the tech team is pretty weird at answering e-mails depending on the tech you get.
155. tibomax Hi! I also have a problem with my m11x R1, bought it last year July 2010 as a birthday gift. I was really amazed of it and had no problems but after a few months of using, the alienfx/keyboard lights is no longer working they no longer light up and then I also have problems with both of the hinges they seem to be cracked and my m11x no longer closes properly, I have to push it slightly to close. I'm from the Philippines by the way and bought it from one of the computer shops here, any suggestions on how or where I could probably get this fixed? THANK YOU!
156-158. vorob So just a quick list of my replaces. Screen which was on purchase was replaced because of white dot on it.Second was replaces because of hinges problem Third was also replaced because of hinges So now I'm on forth screen, and I can say that it's going to die soon…
LIST will be updated when there is new listing.Last edited by Cpt.Zero; 8th January 2011 at 03:49 PM.

Re: List of Owners of M11x That Have Hinges Damaged or Repaired Already
I'm sure Dell keeps track of how many techs they have to send out and for what reason, as this data is necessary to determine gains and losses for each model line and their sum, so this effort already duplicates what they have. Actually, given that not nearly every owner of the M11x is on this forum, such a list is not going to be a duplication but actually a smaller list than the one they already have.
I like the idea of pressuring them into finding a solution, but I don't think this is the way :/Alienware M11x: The worst best super-portable gaming laptop available

Re: List of Owners of M11x That Have Hinges Damaged or Repaired Already
dell already know this problem and i am sure they are working for this. but what we are after here is that denial cannot cover this mess up. that is why we are making a list and making it a data that might help us making them accept this faulty design of theirs and making them responsible for this and come up with a solution and not just a crappy replacement that will not last that long. just imagine the cost after the warranty. its not a WEAR and TEAR issue but its a FAULTY DESIGN. we love the product and i really like my m11x and i hope they make efforts in making a real solution.
For my experience, my left repaired lock hinge gave way first compared to my right rapaired lock hinge because the epoxy bond mix that i put was not up to its solid task. heres the pics of let and right below:
and left
i can say that having to bond the hinge lock with steel epoxy is a very good solution but its just not what a big product like m11x should be asking. it need a very decent solution from dell because its a rust eating the luster out of m11x.
now please be advice that no arguments here and just exert a little effort of contribution by putting into the list if you have this defects thanks. please post your discussions and comments to hinges problems threadmy Laptop: ''SHADOW" M11X/ Cosmic Black/ SU7300/ 4GB 1066mhz/ 160GB Intel X25-M/ Bluetooth/

Got my first m11x replaced due to my left hinge breaking and catastrophic failure with the parts being shipped. It lasted three months. The replacement just starting acting up, this time the right hinge. Two months with this one.

Called Dell months ago about my hinge, and still waiting on the replacement screen to arrive. the current one is so busted, that the screen and the base sit flat on the ground. 180* open. Unusable. If the replacement doesn't arrive by the time I leave Iraq I'll get it replaced when I get home.

Re: List of Owners of M11x That Have Hinges Damaged or Repaired Already
First replaced due to poor build. LCD lid was not aligned with the bottom housing when closed, so basically, it had the lid going in one direction and the bottom housing going the other when closed.
Replaced for second time due to the field tech raping it. I was offered a new system replacement, but declined it thinking it won't be a life changing experience.
I still have uneven hinge gap, but I don't think that's a big deal, as long as I have a long warranty.
If Dell designed it/build the hinge little better, I'm sure it would'ved saved Dell bunch of monies.M11x R2|i7 640UM|2GB Ram|Momentus XT 500GB HD|BT

Re: List of Owners of M11x That Have Hinges Damaged or Repaired Already
My m11x is currently on the way to Dell, but I bought my system in June. Had a creak since I first opened it, and failed the paper test.
Hinges finally split open completely last week. I've since sold it to a buddy and bought an m17x.MacBook Air | i7-2677M 1.8GHz | 4GB DDR3 | 128GB SSD |

Re: List of Owners of M11x That Have Hinges Damaged or Repaired Already
I've had my M11x R2 for just under a month I believe. After around 20 days the hinge was raising quite significantly - caught it in the beginning stages. Dell's fetching the part and hopefully replacing my screen next week.

Football: Jim Malec resigns as Andrew coach
By Pat Disabato email@example.com February 7, 2014 4:00PM
Jim Malec | File photo
Updated: February 7, 2014 10:51PM
Jim Malec, who guided Andrew football to a 18-13 record over three seasons, resigned Thursday.
The Thunderbolts qualified for the playoffs all three seasons under Malec, finishing 7-4 in 2011, 6-4 in '12 and 5-5 in '13.
"It's too bad, it really is," Andrew athletic director Rich Piatchek said. "I'm very disappointed for Jim. He was very excited about the future of the program. But in the best interests of him and his family, I support his decision to resign."
Piatchek estimated a two-month timetable for naming Malec's successor.
"We'll go through the process and make the best decision for the school," Piatchek said. "It's going to take some time, but we'll find the best coach for Andrew football."

I have dormant Grape Cuttings for trade. these still need to be rooted. I am interested in mostly fruit plants, but not limited to just those, so make an offer. If you have thornless rasberries for trade and you don't see anything on my trade list that you would want, please consider taking postage for them as I would really like them. I am unsure of the grape name, but they are purple grapes with a thick skin and seeds. They are awesome for jellies. |

SiWC Workshops
Giving your picture book story its best shot in a challenging market.
The picture book genre is amazing in its versatility. There seems to be no limit to the number of original stories and concepts that are out there. Yet it's tough to get a picture book published, and there are many roadblocks that can stop a good idea in its tracks. This session is about sidestepping them. Topics will include respecting the form, its limitations and freedoms, thinking about the illustrator by offering compelling and varied visuals, and writing catchy cover letters to get your idea across to an editor.
The funny bone is a myth but comedy muscles are real, so let's exercise them. Working on the premise that nothing kills a joke like explaining a joke, this session will try to focus more on the doing than the pondering. Yes, we will look at the root of what makes something funny, ways of generating ideas, discovering a comedic perspective and also looking at one formula to creating a comedic character. But as much as possible, this will be a session to explore and hopefully share your humour in a safe, supportive environment. We will put the "ny" back in "funny!" … or something to that effect.

About LASIK
LASIK is an acronym for Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis, which means "to reshape the cornea by using a laser." The difference between PRK and LASIK Surgery is that PRK treats the exterior of the eye, reshaping the outside surface while LASIK Eye Surgery reshapes the cornea after a thin flap has been created on the surface of the eye.
As a result, with LASIK there is less area to heal, less risk of scarring, less risk of corneal haze, less postoperative pain, fewer postoperative medications, and vision is often improved more rapidly. Gordon-Weiss-Schanzlin Vision Institute was one of the initial centers in the United States to offer LASIK Eye Surgery.
With the LASIK Surgery procedure, a thin flap is created in the top layer of the cornea with the WaveLight® FS200 Femtosecond laser or a microkeratome, forming a "corneal cap". The laser is then used to remove a thin layer of tissue from the cornea under the flap. The cap is then returned to its natural position, creating a healthy surface within 24 hours. This re-shaping of the cornea helps the eye focus properly, thus reducing or eliminating the need for contact lenses or eyeglasses.
No sutures are required after replacing the cap. The surface is kept dry for several minutes and is then flushed with antibiotic eye drops. An eye shield or patch is applied.
After LASIK Surgery, patients may experience moderate burning or itching in the eye. The shield is removed the morning after surgery. For many patients the vision will be greatly improved after the patch is removed, whereas for others, variable improvement will be noticed with greater improvement as the eyes continue to heal. This depends on the amount of astigmatism present at the time of surgery. Eye drops will be prescribed.
In most cases, patients are able to return to work in a matter of a few days. Most activities may be resumed almost immediately. The face however should not be placed under water for at least two weeks.
Initial findings indicate the advantages of LASIK over PRK for high myopia:
- More rapid recovery of vision.
- Significantly less discomfort.
- Significantly reduced risk of scar formation.
- More predictable result for correction of high myopia compared to surface excimer laser treatment for high myopia.
