Both China and US are bully, and are of their own interests. They are brothers.
(5) "There is, however, a new self-confidence these days ..... about anything it deems sovereign."
And what would we expect, from any country that has its sovereignty challenged by a troublemaker? What would the US do it some country challenged its sovereignty?
In fact, the US makes a practice of challenging every country's sovereignty, just to show the world that it is big and strong and can do anything it wants. Take Canada's Arctic waters, which now, according to the US, are 'international'. And if you don't like it, try doing something about it.
(6) "China has been throwing its weight around. It has picked fights in territorial disputes. Historians will no doubt heap much of the blame on China's aggression. This suggests a dangerous trend. "
Where, exactly, has China been 'throwing its weight around'? By selling missiles to Cuba? By sending spy ships into the sea off California? By sowing dissension and financing terrorists in Miami or Washington? By trying to force Switzerland destroy its banking system? By starting unjustified wars in the Middle East? By trying to destabilise Iran so as to install another dictator (for the second time)? By forcing Europe to capitulate on the Gallileo GPS project? By sending warships into Canada's waters and claiming them to be international? Where, exactly, is China throwing its weight around?
And what is the source of this attitude that says, "It's ok if we do it, but aggressive and unforgivable if you do it."?
Please list the 'fights China has picked' with neighbors on territorial disputes. In fact, China has taken a very patient stance on all of these, and has settled almost all in a very friendly manner with all sides content. There are two or three small, more thorny issues remaining, but China has done nothing provocative in any of these. To say that China has picked fights is not only factually wrong but grossly dishonest.
The only 'dangerous trend' I see is that the US is showing signs of starting yet another cold war.
When history is written, I think it will clearly show all the aggression on the part of only one country, the great US Empire. There are no facts to suggest otherwise, and even the Economist's wishful thinking will not change that.
There is something else that readers here should know, related to US foreign policy as it affects this discussion. The National Academies in the US recently published an enlightening paper of US global intentions, including policy, positioning, strateagy and tactics and . I quote in part:
US Foreign Policy
Classic examples include providing weapons or funding to a favored party in a conflict, supporting agents to influence political affairs in another nation, engaging in psychological warfare, disseminating disinformation about a disfavored party, or deceiving a disfavored party. Specific actions that could be undertaken include:
Funding opposition journalists or newspapers that present negative images of a disfavored party in power;
Paying intelligence agents or party members to make public statements favorable to U.S. interests;
Providing financial support to opposition civil society groups and helping them set up international networks;
Advancing conditions for economic disruption by creating fuel shortages, promoting hoarding, making doomsday predictions, or closing key markets;
Providing military aid or training to favored parties;
Bolstering individual leaders favorable to the United States who could plausibly fill a power vacuum once the party in power is ousted;
Funneling money to a favored party through legal or illegal means;
Supporting paramilitary action against a disfavored government of a foreign nation;
Instigating a fight or discord between two adversarial, disfavored parties;
Influencing an election; and
Disseminating propaganda.
This truly is one of the more senseless articles the Economist has written. China has good reasons for not wanting Taiwan armed to the teeth, and for the Dalai Lama to disappear into the obscurity he so richly deserves.
The worst part of this article is that it is written in the voice of an independent, high-minded observer looking from above, one who sees things as they really are, and who knows all and tells all.
But unfortunately it's all rubbish. The article is factually incorrect, blindly biased with the Economist's normal US neocon slant, and is inexcusably 1950s cold-war rhetoric.
China is doing exactly what it should do, and what every other country (especially the US) does: it is looking after its own interests. You can't fault it for that.
Let's look at a few of the article's obvious misstatements and what can only be deliberate misrepresentations. I'll do this in two parts.
(1) "China has been frantically engaged in catching up with the rich West. .. that it would gradually become more "Western". "
Again, blind rhetoric. China has not been 'frantic' about its economic development; to suggest this is insulting and provocative. And China's aim has never been to 'catch up' with anyone. Rather, they have simply been trying to develop their own country and find their own way. China's focus is almost entirely on internal affairs. The Chinese have never had imperial ambitions, and they have no wish to be the world's 'superpower'. China is very much a 'live and let live' kind of country. It is only the US and the Imperialistic part of the West that persists in meddling in everyone else's internal affairs.
So if I get a better job and buy a larger house, in your view that's because I am 'frantically trying catch up with you'? Maybe I don't even much care about you. Maybe I just want a better job and a bigger house. Maybe it isn't a competition at all, except in your own twisted mind. Maybe you are so obsessed with your position of power and reach that you see anyone else's improvement as a challenge to your superiority.
If so, you are sick. And the US (and the Economist) is sick in precisely this way. This is a huge international game of 'whack-a-mole'. Anyone presenting a perceived threat to the US' full-spectrum dominance of the globe, must be quickly hammered back down.
(2) "The first is the failure of China's Taiwan policy."
Rubbish. China's 'Taiwan Policy' has been doing very well, thank you. Cross-strait flights are many and increasing, trade is brisk and increasing, Mainland work visas are easy to get, resulting in many Taiwanese in management positions here, tens of thousands of Taiwan businesses are thriving on the Mainland, and friction has almost entirely disappeared. Until this war-mongering effort by the Americans, who just cannot resist the temptation to cause conflict.
(3) "Beefing up the deterrent capacity of Taiwan is in the interests of peace."
Spoken like a true blind neo-con. Selling more arms is always the golden way to Peace. What a stupid statement. When Russia was placing missiles in Cuba, we were right on the edge of another World War. And Cuba was not a 'breakaway' state of the US. But why the fuss then? Russia was just beefing up the deterrent capacity of Cuba is in the interests of peace.
(4) "China should stop shrugging off the responsibilities, by allowing its currency to appreciate."
Wow. So China has an obligation to be 'responsible'? And the way to demonstrate this is to willingly destroy its own economy just because the US doesn't want competition? Congratulations Economist, you've hit a new low in intellectual stupidity.
If you recall, China was, correctly and slowly, raising the value of the RMB, and it was only the US financial crisis that derailed this progress. In the aftermath, the US shoved the dollar down by some 30%, leaving China with a very uncomfortable choice. The Chinese had no choice but to repeg the RMB, or else they could just sit and watch their holding of 1 trillion dollars depreciate by that 30%?
In the 1980s, Japan did what you and the US suggested - they became 'responsible' and signed the Plaza Accord. And the Yen appreciated by 200% in three years and killed Japan's economy. And they still haven't recovered. And the US got what they wanted - the elimination of a 'competitor' to their worldwide dominance of everything. China isn't stupid enough to self-destruct on command from the US, and the US hasn't enough political and military control to effect it. Thank God.
Since we're on the topic of 'responsibility', let's not forget that the world financial crisis was entirely made in the US of A by a foolhardy banking system fueled by blind greed and huge measures of stupidity. But that's ok because the democratic US is always responsible. It's the Chinese who are being irresponsible by trying to avoid going down the drain along with the Americans.
It's not the fact. It's just the Western hostile to China.
"I agree that the media companies have a good case. It is rather artificial that only 20 foreign films be allowed every year. I myself probably watch more than 20 movies a year (mostly junks, other than some beautiful people).
I hope the censor gives fair chance to the films produced in parts of the world other than Hollywood. Those films can be served as windows for us to see the world, not from American's prospective. The world dominated by Hollywood and American is a very boring one, to say the least."
The sad thing the 20 films apply to all foreign films not just US made stuff. The big Hollywood action / scifi blockbusters are just what sells to the mainstream in America and what sells in non-English speaking markets. Most of what Hollywood peddles is the McDonald's version of a hamburger not the kind you would get in a diner in Middle America. Take for example Avatar. China's population is still young, of course they want to watch Avatar instead of Confucius. Does it represent America? Of course not.
The problem with Chinese films is they are stuck in the past literally. Most of the top Chinese films that do well in the Chinese box office are historical dramas. Most of the PRC films that do well in the West are also historical dramas. The only place in Greater China that makes films depicting contemporary life that appeals to foreign audiences is Hong Kong.
According to South China Morning Post (SCMP), which is one of the newspapers in Hong Kong stated, "Asia is at a turning point, losing balance and increasing tension among Asian countries. Asian countries have faced a condition to make rules and to maintain order. Also, Asia is playing an important role to keep political balance throughout the world."
In the future, it looks obvious that China, India, and Japan would be playing the leading roles in Asia. Since the nineteenth century Japan has become Asia's superpower and the first economic success story in Asia, but since recently they given up their throne. With the emergence of new economic tigers and the ascent of China and India, Asia is collectively bouncing back from nearly two centuries of historical decline. China has grown to influence not only Asia, but also the world. It is astonishing how a non-western country has gained the status of a world super power.
Following China's growth, relationship between America and their alliances have been changed over the years. When the U.S., for example, plans to sell its weapons to Asian countries, Washington needs to consider China's reaction because China could use the weapons to attack an American company for spite.
Never before have China, Japan and India all been strong at the same time and each country is in a strong position to lead Asia. These three countries need to find a way on how to share political and economical profits in Asia until than they will not be able to develop peace among Asian countries. But, there is a problem with the triangle and the US stands on a different chessboard; US hopes that it will be the only superpower in the world. China wants a multipolar world, and wants itself to become the only leading country in Asia. India and Japan long for a multipolar world and a multipolar Asia.
It may be China Hate today but it will be India turn tomorrow. India with its projected 2.75 billion people will be the biggest country and economy on earth. As Condi Rice once famously said, the Indians ate too much at the height of the food crisis.
There is no smoke without fire. China lately has been more agressive than ever. For the US, it is more of an idealogy conflict (democracy vs communism) with China. And once China takes the numero uno spot, it is reasonably forseeable that it will try to stamp its authority on US in every way it could.
I am Chinese but have spent my entire adult life so far in the West, including schooling in the UK, now live in Canada with my American wife with a bi-racial daughter. So I suppose I can say my views are pretty neutral, circumstantially speaking.
China is not perfect, in fact it can be infuriating at times if seen from a Western perspective, including this newspaper that is much vaunted for its intellectual analysis. Throughout China's history, what they have now is the probably the best government for the large amount of its citizenry. It may sound sad or absurd but anyone knows a thing or two about China will have to agree. If you grew up with history lessons telling you that the Brits humiliated China with hash and gun boats while looting the country for treasures and silver, and 150 years later, ended up lecturing the Chinese on human rights, free speech and global responsibility while its own people are enjoying some of the best living standards in the world, would it be too much to have a bit of cynicism in viewing the recent onslaught of criticism from the West (though some of it does have genuinely good intention and constructive input)? There is an old Chinese saying that 'one only knows about shame and honour if his stomach is full'. I think this rule applies universally.
Trust me, most Chinese in China want free speech, transparency in government and a green environment, just like everybody else. But they want to feed their kids and have a better life first. Later, when poverty is no longer a pressing issue, then they would want more.
Talk to her with respect, honesty and an understand of its uniqueness, you'll get a far better result than just playing the blame game and making a huge profit selling arms to Taiwan at the same time.
The Cursed Carter syndrome is back. Obama is keen not repeat the same mistake as perceived weak on China as Carter was perceived weak on Iran.
Unlike Cuba, Taiwan is a major economic hub, Taiwan doesn't really need all that US hardwares, their manufacturings is good enough to churn out missiles by the second and launch them at China. China can keep dreaming of reunification, and the jackpots that is Taiwan, it's only a dream! As China grows, they need to feed that massive horde of consumers that will eat up the earth, a friendly reminder to China, big giant has to learn ballet, other Asian neighbors will not stand still and watch China consume.
I like the way America is hitting back at the Chinese who are getting a bit too big for their britches. While they screw the world with their artificially inflated currency, deny political freedom, break into personal email of dissidents, bar the poor from the cities inhabitants by the ultra rich chinese nomenklatura, and pollute the world, it is high time that this politically backward export giant be put in his place. They profit from a limitless cheap labor pool and all the intellectual property stolen from the west. All you Europeans who get a kick out of hating America (though I don't blame after the embarrassing Bush years) ought to think about a world led by the Chinese. You'll be begging in no time for the resurrection of the big guy across the pond.
To everyone's amusement, the author says, "If American companies, such as Boeing, lose Chinese custom for political reasons, European firms should not be allowed to supplant them."
Who do you think u r?
Boeing chose Taiwan's military contract, and it should have notice the risk it took of losing the civilian contracts in mainland. And U tell the Euro companies to give up such a chance to catch U.S. company off guard?
Not many people would be so stubborn as the author is, and simply in brain structure.
China has seen a history of 5,000 years. Anything u could imagine has happened to this people. I would recommend the author to read Sunzi to find out how skillful Chinese people are with playing tricks.
Really, Sales of arm is to promote stability and peace? could any one think of one example that supply of weaponery wins a noble peace prize.
Such is the logic of the descendents of the pirates.
and if indeed that is the case as this gentleman suggests, then maybe China and Russian should sell weapons to Iran that will bring the stalment between Iran and Western world to the end.
brendan steuble:
"Utilize our power in the UN... as a weapon of censure". Um, you do realize that China has a permanent seat on the UN security council, don't you? That gives China veto power over anything significant that the UN would do.

"I am not a trade lawyer neither are you, but from what I read Google does have a good case if this pursue the case.
It would be very unwise for the US and/or Google to pursue the case. Even if it might be, remotely, good lawyering, it is really against common sense. China obviously censors for political reasons, not for commercial reasons. And as Bill Gates put it, "very limited."
This article was trying to paint China as an aggressor and US a victim. It couldn't be far from the truth. The whole incident is completely American's making. The US government facing high unemployment and failed health care reform needs something or somebody to blame in order to turn public's attention away from these domestic problems. China is an ideal target. So they know how China would react when they sell weapons to Taiwan and meet with Dalai Lama. Never believe what they say about the arms sale that is intended to help Taiwan to defend themselves, if so, they would have sold Taiwan F-16 instead of those refurbished/retired stuff, or care about Tibetans' rights, if so, the meeting would have taken place months ago. Those are simply easy excuses for them to invoke China and start a fight. I hope Chinese are not the easy to be lured into a conflict that could hurt long term development and stability. Americans
To maintain its industrial military complex, it is always necessary to make-up an ideological enemy of liberal democracy.
China has been allowed to follow a mercantilist trade policy for decades. The Economist always gasps at the idea of trade sanctions by the US (how evil), while ignoring China's trade manipulation.
The title says it all: Geopolitics. And the economist is playing the role of a royal foot soldier.

New York Times: Veganism is Mainstream in SoCal
The New York Times reveals the omnivore chefs and restaurants adding vegan items to their menus to draw crowds.
The New York Times columnist Jeff Gordinier investigated the acceptance of veganism as a mainstay in Southern California-area dining destinations in his September 24 column, noting that chefs and restaurateurs in the area are keen to draw in big-name vegans including Kathy Freston, who was joined by Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi at Craig's—now offering vegan options including grilled-eggplant caponata. As vegan celebrities meet with industry professionals at veggie establishments such as Café Gratitude (where paparazzi now hang out) and Sun Café, Craig's and other meat-based restaurants such as N/Naka, Hatfield's, and Golden Road Brewing are eager to keep up. "I'm willing to do anything. I want them here, and I want them happy," said Craig Susser, whose namesake restaurant added vegan chicken parmigiana made with Gardein at the request of DeGeneres.

FOXBORO -- New England's offseason program kicked off Monday. Consequently, many players were back in Massachusetts when the Marathon bombings occurred.
Of course, the world couldn't stop turning. The Patriots, like everyone else, had to try and get back to business and two players met with reporters Thursday as planned.
"[It's the] start of something new, the unknown awaits us as the 2013 season is out there," special teams captain Matthew Slater said. "But there's a lot of work. We're a long ways away from being able to put a team out on the field that's going to compete. We have a lot of work to do. That's exciting. You have to enjoy the process. There's something to be said about the process and preparing for a season. That's something that a lot of us enjoy and something that a lot of people don't see, but that's where the season is made, in the offseason."
Linebacker Rob Ninkovich noted the defensive is already in good form just based on how many key players are returning.
Of 33 defensive players currently on the roster, 27 were Patriots in 2012.
"The guys that were out there getting some game time experience will obviously be off to a better start this year," Ninkovich noted. "A lot of guys are together that were here last year, so obviously that will help. It really comes down to being on the field, and playing with the same group of guys, and having a good experience together with communication. Just playing together again as a defense. It's good that we got a lot of guys back."
The indoctrination of new guys -- like receiver Danny Amendola, safety Adrian Wilson, and return specialist Leon Washington -- begins now.
Slater lauded Washington in particular.
"I have a tremendous amount of respect for what Leon has accomplished in his career. He's been one of the elite returners that this league has ever seen. I think he's tied with Mr. [Josh] Cribbs for the most kickoff returns for touchdowns. He's a weapon in that department and in that phase of the game. Something that we obviously needed improvement on. So hopefully he can give us a boost."
Both players stressed that April is only a starting point.
Does that mean expectations aren't yet elevated? Not in the slightest -- comes with the territory. Ninkovich laughed knowingly when told that 13-year NFL veteran Brian Urlacher recently commented on New England's uniquely consistent excellence.
"The last 10 years, 12 years here kind of speaks for itself," Ninkovich shrugged. "The work that we put in right now puts us at a good start for training camp and then moving on toward the season."

Comments about 4-Piece Mortise Chisel and Bit Set:
Purchased this chisel and bit set to replace the cheap set that came with my mortiser. For the price, I expected the chisel and bits to be sharp and ready to use right out of the box. The cutting edges on each of the bits and chisels required additional sharpening in order to obtain a finer edge. However, the machining finish was much better than the set that came with the mortiser. I will say that I would purchase the Powermatic set again as long as I could find it on sale. Should you decide to purchase a set for yourself, make sure you have a selection of diamond files available along with chisel sharpening set in order to improve the cutting edges. It took less than 20 minutes to sharpen the set.

Comments about 4-Piece Mortise Chisel and Bit Set:
While there are cheaper mortise bits available, these are worth the cost. I just received mine, but have been using a friends set in his shop for a while and thought it was time to get my own machine and bits. Got a good deal on a craig's list PM 701 and ordered the bits from CPO. The four sizes will cover 99% of what I expect to need.

Comments about 4-Piece Mortise Chisel and Bit Set:
This is the first set of these bits I have ever owned but I don't know how you could possibly buy a better set. They come super super sharp and seem like they are very high quality. The only thing I wish powermatic would have included was a nice case for the set.

You got that right!
Thank you David Axelrod. Just what republicans have been saying all along.
"The choice in this election is between an economy that produces a growing middle class, and that gives people a chance to get ahead, and their kids a chance to get ahead, and an economy that continues down the road we�re on," Axelrod said........."
And just why are we continuing down the road we are on?
And just why are we continuing down the road we are on?
Perhaps if the federal level Republicans would participate in some decisions that help the middle class for a change we could be on a different road.
Instead they just want to give tax cuts to the folks making over $250,000 in the hopes that something will trickle down. A strategy which has not worked in quite some time.
No, esh, they would like to reform the tax code. Cut out loopholes and deductions. Do you honestly think that those folks making over 250,000 are going to pay a dime more if their taxes are raised? These are the people who can afford the best tax lawyers to find these loopholes and deductions. This Buffett Rule is nothing but a campaign ploy. Class warfare at it's best. And when the Buffett Rule is voted on in the senate today, it will go down in flames because democrats won't vote for it either.
The Ryan plan calls for complete elimination of taxes on capital gains and dividends.
Then goes on to talk about closing deductions - and guess what - the top most expensive deductions are the mortgage deduction, 401Ks, and employee health insurance business expense.
And there we have it - close those loopholes, and cut taxes completely on those whose income is derived from dividends and capital gains. You know, people like Mitt Romney, the Walmart Heirs, Warren Buffet, etc.
Some way to simplify the tax code, huh.
"And just why are we continuing down the road we are on?"
Because we have a Democrat president and Senate with an unshakable belief that government knows how to grow jobs and wealth through taxation, and that it's their job to "spread the wealth around." I once had a professor stay with a straight face that Communism works when given enough time. Personally, I think the nation has had about all the taxing and spending it can take.
The Ryan Plan follows the principle laid down by Libertarians that to rein in Big Government, you have to starve it but cutting taxes. Cutting taxes reduces the absolute volume of levies supporting government agencies and activities. Government responses: go into short and long-term debt to fund infrastructure projects and/or levy fees and fines on individuals and companies and/or raid the coffers of smaller governments, thus reversing the traditional direction of redistribution of tax revenues.
I cannot speak for the others but I am joining both Davids'.
I know what kind of gov't I want and what is on the menu at the Republican table is not what I want set before me and my family. Hate, greed, lost opportunity, no post office, no affordable health care and last but not least bankrupt gov't, thanks to Bush and Co does not sound like such a good menu.

Amorphophallus konjac bloom timing
daveh_sf(San Francisco)April 27, 2011
I have an A. konjac which is putting up a flower spike for the first time now. It's about 3 ft. tall now and looks like it may open any day now. I'm hoping it will be in bloom for an upcoming garden show in a week. Can anyone tell me about how many days does the bloom last?

My Problem
The left fan in my MacBook Pro had been making some nasty noises. When I'd work with heavy applications my computer would sound like a rocket ship ready to launch in to space. It sounded like a wild jungle animal slowly dying.
My Fix
The repair was easy. These computers aren't difficult to open up. The instructions on this site were very helpful. The spudger isn't really needed. The torx and Philips are needed.
My Advice
Some sites say to oil your fan to fix the noise, but that only lasts so long. I don't know the long term results of the new fan, but so far so good.
March 17, 2014
My Problem
Noisy right fan!
My Fix
Easy, but a lot of screws to keep track of!
My Advice
It is a must to have a small parts bin to keep the loose parts stored in the sequence of removal and this ensures an easier reassembly.
March 10, 2014
My Problem
My 7 year old MBP works great, first physical problem (besides battery life): right exhaust fan died. Screeching and 0rpm alternating.
My Fix
Replaced with fan from ifixit, had no trouble. Have used ifixit guides before to install SSD. Great site, great resource, okay prices but unbeatable inventory.
My Advice
There are parts dealers on amazon with lower prices, but many claim genuine oem that aren't. For this part the price difference was less than 10 bucks and on amazon the reviews are horrid. I'll stick with ifixit.
January 28, 2014
My Problem
At least the left fan on my Macbook Pro Early 2008 (1260) -- which was otherwise in great condition, started whining. Pretty embarrassing in a meeting. Since I had to open up the case anyway, I decided to to replace both fans. Purchased both from iFixit, which arrived in two business days.
My Fix
Follow directions in the iFixit guide carefully, and the repair will be easy, even though categorized as "moderate" in difficulty. It took about 1/2 hour to replace both fans (I intentionally made it a "slow" repair). The replacement fans are almost noiseless, and the repair cost ($50 per fan) was well worth the investment.
My Advice
Take your time, and make sure to separate out the various screw types in sequence to their removal (it makes putting everything back together very easy). Be very careful (for this model MBP) about *not* mistaking the the HDMI port screw hole for the proper case screw hole. I did this in my first repair (HD replacement) and I couldnt' remove the screw...it finally worked its way out on its own (and fell to the bottom of my case). I took to heart iFixit's caution to be very careful to not lift the keyboard too quickly (you'll easily damage the keyboard/logic board ribbon cable) --- and was glad I did. Thanks, iFixit for a great repair guide. I'd highlight with yellow circles rather than red against a dark background, Otherwise, perfect.

My Problem
Both fans of my laptop started doing several noises often, until one day the left fan didn't stop doing a loud noise similar to a running bike when it isn't pedaled.
I decided to open my laptop and clean it properly, not only the left fan, but also all the laptop. Once I finished, I run the laptop again, but my problem wasn't solved.
I looked online for any solution and I found iFixit. Best website ever! First of all I tried to repair my fans, but they got worse. Their bearings were broken and nothing could be done. I tried to file down the fan cases in order to see if the noises were made by the fan blades scratching the cases. This operation ended with the right fan doing a noise that reminded me to a chainsaw cutting an iron plate.
There was nothing left to try but replacing the fans. So I ordered them.
My Fix
Great! I followed the guides and in less than 15 minutes my laptop was running perfectly.
My Advice
Do not hesitate in trying to repair your device. Do not resign yourself to buy a new device or to accept the outrageous cost that the official repair department impose you.
Try to repair it by yourself. Take a look to the guides that are already written, test your device, be sure of what the problem is, order the components if necessary and get on with it. I'm sure it'll be easy, fun and cheap!

My Problem
Le ventilateur s'emballait et faisait un bruit pas possible
My Fix
La réparation s'est déroulée en 5 bonnes minutes, et donc cela c'est très bien passé
My Advice
Une seule chose à dire: "Merci Ifixit"
December 16, 2013
My Problem
Suddenly the right fan of my mbp started to make loud noises like a chainsaw. In the shop they couldn't help me other than sending the macbook to the repair shop which would've cost a fortune. So I decided to do it on my own – without any previous knowledge.
My Fix
With the guide it was very easy and at the same time I could clean the dust wich had accumulated over the last five years.
My Advice
December 12, 2013
My Problem
Way to noisy!
My Fix
Googled around and found iFixit. Ordered the part. Nice website for finding the correct part. Looked at the repair guides.
The repair was uneventful. It was nice having the before pictures to see how that funky fan power connecter went together. I also blew out some dirt that had accumulated.
My Advice
1. Have some canned air ready to blow out the dirt.
2. Have some good screwdrivers.
3. take your time.
4. take photos along the way, they help
5. I use an egg carton for my screws
6. I marked the old fan with a sharpie, so I would not mix up the two identical fans
7. I also used a bit of double stick adhesive to re-stick the black tape thing.
December 3, 2013
My Problem
My Macbookpro was starting to make like a rattling noise. Then one day it started squealing real loud. Turned it off and it went away but came back.
My Fix
Figured the fan went totally bad. Ordered the part and followed the easy online instructions and it was fixed in about a half an hour. Now it's just as quiet as when it was new.
My Advice
Take your time and read all the steps at least once before starting. Then when you get into you kind of already know what to do. Then just read and follow the instructions as you go along.
April 12, 2013
My Problem
The right side fan on my Mac laptop A1260 was screaming like a pack of 10yr old girls and driving me and the family crazy.
My Fix
Daunting at first seeing as I needed to remove the whole top half of the laptop and it had connections I was not familiar with, but the how to guides here on ifixit were excellent and made the whole experience a pleasure. In fact, while I had it opened, I went ahead and put in a larger HD with the money I saved from not having to pay repair labor.
My Advice
It is definitely easier than you think. The Spudger tool is a no brainer, get it and use your screwdriver for something else....like screws.

plant stand - pic
I was out and about today and saw this little table and grabbed it. Let the "curb shopping begin!!" I believe it had glass in the top and bottom spaces. I am going to paint it and use it for a plant stand on my porch. I think an Ivy plant would like nice cascading down. Either that or some folks put bottomed out chairs over tall growing plants in their garden and let the chair support them. Maybe some hollyhocks would look nice in this. In that case, do you think I should just let it weather naturally for the garden? Stuck some faux flowers and bird pot I made in it for viewing.
Hmm...I may be wrong but I don't think that was a plant stand before. It looks to me like one of those reproduction wash stands. The kind that the pitcher and bowl go in the top circle and then there was a mirror that attached to that and was in the back. I can see where something was attached to the top ring.
Looks good as a plant stand, though! Good luck with your painting :)
I actually had one of those repro wash stands. I believe your treasure used to be one of those. Mine had a solid bottom for the pitcher and the bowl sat in the top rim. Mine also had a mirror and candle holders attached. It would look really cool as support in the garden or as a plant stand.
Something else that comes to mind is an umbrella stand, or something to corral tall things like yard sticks, canes, rolled maps, etc. Either stand it as it is or hang it on its side.
Hmmm, you're both right, it just might have been a wash stand. I didn't think of that one. The best part was it was free and now it's mine!!!!

how the heating element works in heatpump system
My old heat pump does not have the heat strip, only the fan and the evaporator inside the air exchange unit. The new unit includes a 15KW heat strip element.
I read some where that during winter, when the outside temp below 25 degree F we should use the heating element instead of the heat pump in order to get the warm air output plus saving more money in electric. Is this statement correct?
The thermostat has 4 setting: Cool, Off , Heat, Emer. Heat.
If that is the case, then what I should do with the setting
Under normal conditions, leave it set on Heat. The strip element will cycle on/off as needed (the compressor and element run at the same time), when needed. In this case, it's known as auxiliary heat ... the element comes on automatically if the heat pump (compressor) alone can't maintain the indoor temperature ... typically when the indoor thermostat senses that the temperature is not reaching the setpoint.
Emergency Heat is intended for use if the compressor fails completely and there's no source of heat except the strip element. Emer Heat shuts the compressor off and ONLY the element runs ... cycling on/off as usual in response to the thermostat's control (assuming the element is of sufficient capacity to handle the heating requirement solo).
You can use the Emer Heat setting to purposely prevent the compressor from running in cases of icy/snowy weather, if you perhaps notice the heat pump is very frequently going into defrost. It's largely a personal preference, and depends on the local weather conditions that may occur. Personally, I've never done that, but I'm on the Texas mid-coastal area which doesn't get that kind of weather very often. In the few instances it has happened, I let the system continue to run in normal mode, works perfectly fine for me.
"we should use the heating element instead of the heat pump in order to get the warm air output plus saving more money in electric"
You'll use the heat strip to get warm, but it uses more electricity. The HP does a good job heating in weather down to about 40 degrees. Below that it can't keep up. It's more useful in southern climes where the occasional cold front blows through.
srercrcr, my HP does work quite well at temps below 40°F. I said in the post above that such weather doesn't happen often, meaning that we don't get continuous weeks or months of it. There are typically several incidents of freezing weather each season, lasting a couple days at a time. 2004 we had a couple inches of snow on Christmas eve. Lowest I recall in recent years is ~26°F, I had no trouble keeping the house 70°F, *without* engaging the auxiliary.
I read some where that during winter, when the outside temp below 25 degree F we should use the heating element instead of the heat pump in order to get the warm air output plus saving more money in electric. Is this statement correct?
Sort of.
Heat pumps have a rating called Coefficient Of Performance, abbreviated COP. This number essentially is the amount of heat produced for the amount of energy used to produce it. Thus a HP COP of 3.0 means the unit will produce three times more heat than would be provided if the energy used to produce it was converted directly to heat.
Heat strips, the resistance heating elements that produce the HP's auxiliary or emergency heat have a fixed COP of 1.0
The HP's COP will vary by temperature. The lower the temperature, the lower the COP. At some point, the COP will be down at around 1.0 and there is no benefit to operating the heat pump over the heat strips, since the heat pump will still have to go into defrost mode occasionally, sending a shot of freezing cold air into the house.
For this reason, some HVAC pros install a lock out thermostat in the outdoor unit designed to prevent it from operating below a certain temperature. 25 degrees is often mentioned.
However, a lot of newer heat pumps still have usable output at that temperature and should be turned off at a lower temperature. The heat pump manual should have included a chart that graphs the COP versus outside temperature. Take a look at the chart to see what kind of temperature it takes to drop your unit's COP to 1.0. Consider switching the heat pump to emergency mode when the temperature drops the COP to 1.1 to 1.2.
But I wouldn't worry about it if the temperature isn't going to go down below that temperature and stay there for awhile.
srercrcr, modern heat pumps produce hot air, not warm air, although it does drop some in temperature as the COP gets way down there. That said, my heat pump, which is not a high end model, produces usable heat down to 15 F. Below that, I use the strip heater pretty much exclusively.
Fortunately, we see those kind of temperatures very rarely.
" The HP does a good job heating in weather down to about 40 degrees. Below that it can't keep up. It's more useful in southern climes where the occasional cold front blows through."
New heat pump systems operate well at temperatures far below that.
My Trane XL 12 won't start kicking into aux. heat until the temperature reaches about 25 to 26 degrees F. And it will go just a little lower than that on a bright, sunny day when the sun is shining on the heat pump case. Seems the solar gain gives it just a little bit of a boost.
Based on Creek side's argument, can I make a statement like this:
Since heat pump effects only at the temp 20 F or above, and since the cost of electricity to run the heat strip is too high, we should has a heat pump system using gas/or oil as an auxiliary heat source instead of heat strip as it is now.
Depends on the cost of gas or oil. And whether you already have a gas or oil system already in place. You might find that the cost of installing a new 'dual fuel' system is high and would take several years to pay off with the 'savings' of gas/oil over electricity.
Besides weedmeister's point, it isn't that simple. Since the COP of a heat pump varies with temperature, its effective cost of operation varies too.
With a gas furnace, heat strips, or oil furnace, the cost for a unit of heat stays the same no matter what the outside temperature is. You just use more units as the temperature drops. But with a heat pump, the cost of the unit of heat increases as the temperature drops, so you have a double whammy. It costs more to heat because it is colder out and it also costs more to heat because the heat pump's efficiency drops due to that cold.
You have to take all that into account when you are comparing prices between the heat pump and other heat sources. A rough way to do it is to assume some average cold winter day's median temperature and get the COP number for it. Then compare that to the other heat sources, figuring some days you will do better and some days you will do worse.
What you can't do is simply use the published (maximum) COP for the unit to compare heat sources. You will come up with wildly optimistic numbers for the heat pump compared to the others.

An underarm perspiration pad having a length portion of an upper edge connected between opposite selectively sized triangular shapes, wherein the selected size of each triangular shape in the underarm site of use of the perspiration pad is of an extent that it is readily observable above the edge of a sleeveless garment arm opening, and the observed portions of the triangular shapes are trimmed preparatory to removal along lines of perforations so as to minimize cognitive awareness of the use of the perspiration pad.
1. A disposable underarm perspiration pad having a site of use in an exposed armpit of a female user wearing a sleeveless garment, said perspiration pad comprising a generally semi-circular body of fluid-absorbent construction material having opposite outward and inward surfaces and an upper edge of a semi-circular configuration located beneath an edge bounding a lower length portion of an arm opening of said sleeveless garment an adhesive deposit on said perspiration pad body outward surface, said perspiration pad body outward surface having an operative position adhesively secured to a sleeveless garment with said upper edge thereof in adjacent relation behind and in alignment with said edge of said sleeveless garment arm opening, said upper edge of said perspiration pad body having on opposite sides thereof triangular shapes extending above said lower length portion of said arm opening of said sleeveless garment plural spaced apart lines of perforations in said triangular shapes, and portions of said triangular shapes removed along lines of perforations coinciding with said lower length portion of said arm opening of said sleeveless garment whereby any exposed portions of said triangular shapes above said lower length portion of said sleeveless garment arm opening are trimmed along a line of perforations to contribute to a minimal unsightly appearance of said perspiration pad in its site of use.
The present invention relates generally to improvements in garment underarm disposable perspiration pads, in which more particularly, the improvements are applied to their use in sleeveless garments.
Pads, also known as shields, of fluid-absorbing construction material are in popular use to minimize staining of the underarm and adjacent areas of garments, as exemplified by those of prior patents No. 1,727,287 for �DRESS SHIELD� issued to Hoffman on Sep. 3, 1929, U.S. Pat. No. 1,912,178 for �SHIELD� issued to Conoyer on May 30, 1933, U.S. Pat. No. 3,001,201 for �GARMENT SHIELD� issued to Hauser on Sep. 26, 1961 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,747,162 for �DISPOSABLE PERSPIRATION ABSORBING PAD� issued to Yanagihara on May 31, 1988, to mention but a few. The popularity in use however particularly by females, is voluntarily curtailed curiously during the time when most needed, namely during the summer months when temperature and activity outdoors promotes perspiration, because it is also at this time that fashion and comfort dictate the use of sleeveless garments, and when the perspiration pad is not hidden beneath a sleeve it is considered by many to be source of unsightliness.
Broadly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a perspiration pad for a sleeveless garment overcoming the foregoing and other shortcomings of the prior art.
More particularly, it is an object to provide a perspiration pad for a sleeveless garment, and taking into account the necessary variation for fashion concerns of the different configurations of the edge bounding the sleeveless garment arm openings, that is readily customized to the sleeveless garment arm opening such that there is no cognitive awareness of its presence in its underarm site of use, all as will be better understood as the description proceeds.
The description of the invention which follows, together with the accompanying drawings should not be construed as limiting the invention to the example shown and described, because those skilled in the art to which this invention appertains will be able to devise other forms thereof within the ambit of the appended claims.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a prior art underarm perspiration pad;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a perspiration pad for a sleeveless garment in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 3 is an isolated front view of the perspiration pad of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is an exploded perspiration pad of FIG. 3; and
FIG. 5 is a partial perspective view, on an enlarged scale, of the site of use of the perspiration pad denoted by the arrow 5 of FIG. 2.
To prevent clothes from being stained with perspiration, prior patents, as exemplified by U.S. Pat. No. 4,747,162 for �DISPOSABLE PERSPIRATION ABSORBING PAD� issued to Yanagihara on May 31, 1988, recommend, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the use of a perspiration pad 1 in an underarm location 6 in the sleeve of a jacket or like upper torso garment 5. Pad 1 adequately serves its intended stain-resisting purpose in the environment noted, but in a sleeveless garment, when the pad 1 would not be hidden beneath a sleeve, there is another need to be served, and that is to obviate unsightliness in the wearing of the pad that results from a mere cognitive awareness of its presence at the underarm location 6. The present invention addresses this need, and relates to a perspiration-absorbing disposable pad means of the nature of the prior art pad 1, which is noteworthy in that it is substantially arranged to be masked from view in its site of use during the wearing of a sleeveless garment.
The within inventive disposable underarm perspiration pad, generally designated 10, has a site of use, generally designed 12, which, as known, is at an underarm 14 of an individual's arm 16 and shoulder 18. More specifically, site 12 is aptly circumscribed by a first circular configuration noted by reference line 20, an edge having a second circular configuration noted by reference line 22, which serves as an arm opening 24 of a sleeveless garment 26, between which reference lines 20 and 22, which are in concentric relation to each other, there is bounded by these concentric reference lines 20, 22 an expanse 28 (FIG. 5) on the side 30 of the individual 32 wearing the pad 10. Bodily movement, temperature conditions, and like factors, typically result in the gravity flow, as noted by the arrow 34, of perspiration from the underarm location 14 over expanse 28 down to the site of use 12 of the perspiration pad 10. In accordance with its known intended use, the pad 10 has stain-resistant utility and, in accordance with the present invention, it has a minimal observed presence above the lower length portion of the sleeveless garment arm-opening 24 and thus provides a correspondingly minimal cognitive awareness of the wearing of the pad which many female users consider a source of unsightliness and thus undesirable.
Constructionwise, pad 10 has a generally semi-circular body 38 and will be understood to be of fluid-absorbent construction material. On an outward facing surface 40 of body 38, there is a deposit of an adhesive 42 covered by a release tape 44 which is removed to expose the adhesive and contribute to its use in establishing an adhesive attachment, as at 46, to the inside of the garment 26, positioning the opposite surface 48 against the side of the individual and, most important, positioning an upper semi-circular edge 50 of the body in the proximity of the lower length portion of the sleeveless garment arm-opening 24.
Since the radial curvatures of arm openings of sleeveless garments differ, and also the anatomical sizes and radial curvatures of underarms of the users of the pad also differ, a correlation of these differences and adjustment for how these differences impact on how the pad 10 presents itself during wearing use, is a significant concern addressed in the construction of the pad 10. What is an underlying designing concept is the making of the curvature of the pad edge 50 so that it intentionally is of a extent which presents opposite triangular shapes 52 and 54 extending above the lower length portion of expected to be encountered curvatures of a lower length portion of a garment arm-opening sleeve edge 24. Marked in these triangular shapes 52, 54 are a series of lines of perforation, individually and collectively designated 56, which are spaced at graduated distances, individually and collectively designated 58, so that one line of perforation 56 will assume a readily observable closely aligned relation with the lower portion of the arm-opening sleeve edge 24.
The portion of the excess of the pad 10 extending into the expanse 28, which if not removed would be a source of unsightliness, is removed in a facilitated manner by the separation afforded by the perforation construction of the line 56 coinciding with the lower length portion of the sleeveless garment arm-opening 24. In this manner, the perspiration pad 10 is custom-sized to the circular configuration of the sleeveless garment arm opening 24 to contribute to a minimal unsightly appearance of the perspiration pad 10 in its site of use 12.
Before disposing of a used perspiration pad 10, the user can advantageously use it in preparing a fresh pad for the next wearing of the same or a closely similarly fashioned garment.
Also, the user can optionally use a thin-gauge metal clip 60 bent in half to supplement the engagement of the center, as at 62, of the pad 10 to the sleeve edge 24. In styles of garments with rearwardly extending straps, the pad would be trimmed along the horizontally oriented perforated line 64.
While the custom-sizing of a sleeveless garment perspiration pad herein shown and disclosed in detail is fully capable of attaining the objects and providing the advantages hereinbefore stated, it is to be understood that it is merely illustrative of the presently preferred embodiment of the invention and that no limitations are intended to the detail of construction or design herein shown other than as defined in the appended claims.

It's hard to pen down what the story is really about…
Imagine a Karan Johar-like script made by Abbas Mustan. That's how Marry Go Round reads like. In this story of a supposed arranged-turned-into-love marriage, the speed with which the men and women fall in and out of love amazes you.
Filmy Plot
The story sounds like it's taken from a flop 1990's Bollywood movie and given a modern twist. Rooted in Hyderabad, it's the story of a resolute mother trying to get her 'Amreeka' son married and settled. So far so good. But the stereotypes and clichés that go into making this happen is what bothers me most. Sample this. Every mother in the story is fat, covered with layers of chins and jowls.
And the fathers? The protagonist's father is an ever-hungry, food-craving, perverted professor; the female protagonist's father leaves his house to buy papers at the first sign of trouble and another father is a man who has way too much black money and an affair with a film star to boot. That's not all.
The love interests in the story are pretty things who fall for Riaz at first sight. He is not any better either. He sleeps with Sarah an American, falls for Sana, conveniently forgets her and then marries to Meera. One minute, he is lovelorn and runs behind Sana (who by the way has a sad back-story, but let's not go there) and the next minute he is after doctor Meera who saves his mother's life.
Shallow characters
The storyline seems to be off the top of the author's head and the characters have no depth and are not well etched. The parallel narration style confuses rather than tell the story. Like I said, Abbas Mustan would strike gold if they made this into a movie.

Orton tries for the RKO, but Bryan pushes him off, right into Michaels, who's distracted by Hunter. Hunter asks Michaels if he's alright, and immediately grabs the trainer and asks him to unlock the cage. Bryan hits the giant running knee and gets at least a five count. Bryan asks for Shawn to get up and count, but Hunter throws him away. Bryan hits Hunter with a huge running knee and the crowd is thrilled. Michaels hits Bryan with sweet chin music, and Orton rolls over into the cover. Michaels counts out the pin, and Orton gets three.

Co-op Glitch Discovered in Bloodborne Boss Battle [Updated]
Update: As members of our community were so kind to point out, and as we discovered after some testing of our own, the reported "co-op glitch" originally covered in this article isn't a glitch at all; it's an intended piece of the game. That being said, there is a known progression glitch out there that is tied to the co-op/PvP aspects of the game. Light spoilers ahead.

Well, headstart wasn't too successful... How will the game fair?
Well, I'm basically referring to the amount of downtime we've had... Honestly, I feel conned, I mainly pre-ordered for the Headstart and suffice it to say, I managed maybe 1/3 of the time I could have done if the servers where actually up and running?
I mean, pretty much all of the downtime was in EU time, and before someone says they have to take the servers down at some time... If it's going to be daily, 2 times a night or something for upto 3 hours, what's the point in playing? Besides, most of it was 'unexpected'.
Now I'm not an expert, but I've played an MMO for over 7 years, close to 8, and basically, their downtime hardly existed! In all of that time, there has only been one time where I spent half an hour away for downtime, their updates took maybe, 10 minutes at max?
Now, I'm not going to say I'm leaving, but if this continues, I don't see myself playing the game after the first month... And I doubt I'm alone.
This isn't the first MMO by Cryptic, so really, has there been any need for all of this downtime? There's a post saying we've 'blown all expectations', so, what happened to the exprience of multiple other games? And is it that hard to see how many pre-orders have been taken? Or keys activated?
I just hope they sort this, and quickly, because as for the headstart, I feel pretty conned so far. I just hope my Borg bridge officer is right... Of which I may add, I haven't recieved the code for...

Does your child do this? How can I get it to stop?
My DD will be 3 in May. For the past couple months or so, whenever she gets really mad or upset, she will pinch her arms and legs, which results in little redmarks/bruises. I think it looks horrible, but that's besides the point. I asked her ped about it (she used to bang her head against the wall too) and he said when it hurts her, she'll stop. But I don't know if there is something I can do to get it to stop? Obviously I can't please her all the time, but if I tell her she can't do something (like watch TV or something) she'll be mad and clench her fists, and then start pinching. Is this just something I have to learn to deal with, and she'll outgrow?
My child did all kinds of things if she learned it got a rise out of me. I say the next time she's doing it out of being displeased with you, try totally ignoring her behavior. No raised voice, no concern on your face.
See if, after a few times, she stops, because she realizes she's not able to egg you on with the behavior.
My DD didn't do this exact thing but boy did she do others at that age, just to try and I dont know - get attention, get me flustered, you name it.
If it does NOT go away after you try ignoring the behavior, then I'd say it's time for another visit to the pediatrician (or a second opinion from another).
I agree with trekaren, ignore the behavior....my now grown son use to get so mad he would hold his breath and pass out. It was very scary the first few times he did it. I realized one day that when he came to and didn't see me all panicky in his face he may just wonder why. I tried it. He passed out, I made sure he was in a safe place and walked away. He came to in about 30 sec. and didn't see me there. He got up from the floor, came to the kitchen wanted a hug and said...."I thought you left me!" I said...."I did, you passed out, what else could I do?" He said, "I'm sorry mommy, I won't do that again, I don't want to be alone." He never did.
It's worth a try....just keep all the sharp objects out of reach from her.
