text: Commencement Address I have to say this day is astonishing and wonderful for me, and also, in many ways, richly ironic. First, the fact that I am receiving an honorary doctorate and about to deliver an ostensibly serious commencement address will strike anybody who knew me in high school, especially my parents, who are right over here, as very, very surprising and perhaps downright irresponsible. I was – and this may be an understatement – a wretched high school student. There was an assistant principal who got into the habit of escorting me personally to math class every day. There are nasty rumors that the only reason I actually got into Colby was that my dad knew the former dean, Earl Smith. I can't confirm or deny this, but you can read whatever you want into the fact that my parents are actually staying with the Smiths this weekend. It's true that as a student here, I was pretty close with Dean Smith, and he would tell me how worried my parents were by my dismal academic showing in high school. At lunch one day he actually said, and this is a quote, he told me that my father had confided in him that he was pretty sure I was going to end up as a gas station attendant. Lo and behold, here I am. Nobody's more surprised than me, except maybe my dad. There's a second, and better reason, though, why today is so ironic and rich with meaning for me. As it turned out, Colby was the perfect place for me. In part because the professors are so wonderful and in part because I was able to control what I could study for the first time – for example, I never took math here – I was able to excel. After actually applying myself for four years I managed to graduate with honors. My dad was relieved to the point where I think he almost cried. But here's the twist. On graduation day, as I was getting ready to accept my diploma, I was proud and puffed up, they called out my name as "David Harris." So I'd like to thank the Class of 2005 for this great honor, which is also inadvertently giving me a great gulp of sweet justice. And I don't hold any grudges. But the person who I think called out my name – her initials are Janice Kassman. And from now on I'm going to refer to her as "Janet." I'd also like to thank everybody on the Colby faculty and staff, and especially my host, Sandy Maisel, for their gracious treatment over the past couple months. When Sandy called me to tell me that I was going to be delivering this address he literally said, "Are you sitting down?" Nobody's ever said that to me before. He was right to brace me in this way because my first reaction was shock. My second and third emotions, which rolled over me in strong, successive waves, were fear and inadequacy. Why inadequacy? One of my former roommates from Colby sent me an e-mail pointing out that former Colby Commencement speakers include one president, one secretary general of the United Nations, two Supreme Court justices, two Senate majority leaders, one secretary of state, and, now, one "punk" who had to be dragged by his ear to math class. Now I think at this point it's worth pointing out that I consistently beat this former roommate in beer die for four years. (I knew that line was going to get the most applause.) So I also mentioned that I felt fear. Why would I feel fear? Because what was I supposed to say to you? What, at my relatively young age, 33, which I think is still young – what sort of wisdom could I possibly have to impart to you? I decided, consequently, to enlist someone with real life experience: my 85-year-old grandfather, Bob Johnson. Grandpa is a self-described curmudgeon who, back when he was working, went by the nickname "Sweet Old Bob." If you made that into an acronym, it turns out to be "S.O.B." Someone, a few years back, gave him a computer. This was a questionable call. He's gotten very handy with e-mail and he peppers all of his grandchildren with rather piquant emails on an almost daily basis. He sent me, free of charge and unsolicited, an entire commencement speech. I will be drawing from it liberally today. Much of it was vulgar and profane, so I'll be careful. Here's a sanitized version of how Grandpa recommended that I begin this speech today: "Good Morning. As I remember, the best part of graduation was last night. While not every single one of you is sleep deprived or hung over this morning, there are enough of you to stir pity in me as the thoughts of my own graduation morning still generate a dull headache." Grandpa goes on to say, "Perhaps I should direct my comments at your parents – or whomever it was that paid an ungodly sum of money for your time here – but I'm going to take a chance and talk directly to you." More from my grandfather later. With all due respect to my former professors, I never really liked lectures. So, to give you a sense of how long this talk will go, and where we are at every step of the way, and how close we are to the end, I'm going to give you an outline. This speech has three parts: First, the funny part, which you just heard. Second, the serious part, which I'm about to do. And third, the obligatory advice. So now a little substance. When I was enrolled here, it was my sense that the vast majority of the students were liberal. That may have changed. I know a lot has changed in the past 12 years. You've got a lot of fancy new buildings, tougher admissions standards (somebody mentioned to me recently that I would probably have to be Dean Smith's biological son to get in today), and I hear they're now serving beer over in Dana. Janice – uh, Janet – told me this and I was shocked. So things may have changed, but it is my sense – or at least for the purposes of this speech I'm just going to assume – that most, if not many of you lean left. Which means that some of you may have profoundly mixed feelings about what's happening over in Iraq right now. After the Iraqi elections back in January – which a lot of people in this country and around the world, with those ink-stained fingers held up in the air, found genuinely inspiring. After those elections there were signs of exquisite discomfort on the left. Jon Stewart said on The Daily Show: "What if Bush... has been right ... all along? I feel that my world view may not sustain itself and I may ... implode." On a more serious note, Kurt Anderson, who writes for New York Magazine, wrote a column titled "When Good News Feels Bad," which said that the elections posed a "major intellectual-moral-political problem" for liberals, many of whom take "pleasure" in bad news from Iraq ... "half-consciously" hoping for Bush's "comeuppance." Now clearly the situation on the ground has gotten worse in recent months since the elections, with the delay in the formation the government and the recent upsurge in violence. However, the "intellectual-moral-political problem" that Kurt Anderson refers to, I suspect, remains. Now this is not to say that anybody in this audience – or anybody in the country – would really rather see more people die than be proven wrong. However the notion of watching a war that many people thought was a mistake turn into a success would be, on some levels, for some people, frustrating. I recently spent 10 days in Iraq, which was not enough time, by a long shot, to decide out who will ultimately be vindicated by history – either President Bush or his critics on the left. But I did see enough things to give ammunition to both sides in this debate. On the one hand I was struck by how much better daily life is than it looks on TV or in the newspapers. I hadn't been back to Iraq in about 18 months, since the period shortly after the war. I was enormously relieved to find that, to my eye at least, there hadn't been any fundamental change in the temperament of the average Iraqi. These are some of the most friendly people I've ever met. Despite everything that's happened over the past two years, many of them are still willing to chat up an American on the street. Many of them will still invite you into their home for tea. As an aside: one of my favorite cultural quirks among the Iraqis is that when they "goodbye" they actually use the English word "hello." So when, for example, we're finishing up an interview with a bunch of people, I'll shake everyone's hand and say, "Thank you. Goodbye," and they'll say, "Hello." I say that only to point out that the Iraqis are enormously charming in so many ways that you don't get to see on TV. On the other hand, many Iraqis are justifiably tired, disappointed, unemployed, and, above all, scared. The security situation in Baghdad is, I think it's fair to say, quite dire. Since my last visit, 18 months ago, on this most recent visit, I noticed some real changes. With ABC, we now travel in convoys of three armored cars, with squads of security guards with us all the time: Iraqi security guards and former special-forces guys from New Zealand and the U.K. We live in what is essentially a fortified compound. We've taken over a little street, and there are concrete roadblocks on either side of this little street. There are guys with guns at each roadblock, there are snipers on the roof, and there are men with AK47s patrolling the road. When I wanted to get any exercise, I literally had to run up and down this little road, zigzagging between the guys with guns. Security is perhaps the most pressing problem in the country right now. In my brief visit, there was one thing that really stuck out to me as perhaps the biggest obstacle and the biggest opportunity when it comes to improving the security situation. I'm going to call it the "Sunni Problem." The Sunnis make up about 20 percent of the population. Under Saddam Hussein, who is a Sunni, they essentially ran the country. So when the regime fell, they were outnumbered and endangered. The Sunnis for many years formed the backbone of the insurgency that has killed so many Americans and so many more innocent Iraqis. The Sunnis are showing signs that they may want to change this – many of them boycotted the elections – and they're now showing signs that they think that was a mistake and it's time to engage in the political process. On the one hand this is very positive. Sunni leaders told me their demands are modest. They want the current government, which is made up mostly of Shiites, who are the dominant ethnic group in the country right now, to give the Sunnis fair representation and to stop what they call a "witch-hunt" directed at anyone with any association with Saddam Hussein's regime. If their demands are met, they say, most Sunnis will want to return to normal life. On the other hand, many Shiites – who were slaughtered, tortured, and otherwise repressed by Saddam Hussein – are justifiably a little wary. If the Sunni Problem isn't solved, the consequences, I fear, could be catastrophic. As one Sunni leader told me: "We're at a tipping point right now." If the Sunnis feel there are good-faith negotiations to bring them to the table, many of the insurgents will put down their guns. If not the insurgency will expand. Many of the insurgent leaders are actually nervous about this, because they fear that the level of violence will increase to a degree that they cannot control it and there will be no turning back. As I was leaving the country we got stuck at a roadblock on the airport road, apparently the most dangerous road in the country. We got stuck at a long roadblock by the U.S. Army. Sure enough, the mortars started coming in, and American soldiers started running out, shooting their guns. As I sat helplessly watching out my car window, which at that moment I was thanking God was bulletproof, or allegedly bulletproof, I thought there are two ways to look at this situation in Iraq right now. A pessimist could make a case that it's an unfixable morass doomed to disintegrate into civil war. An optimist, however, could make the point – and this is something that many of us in this country are familiar with – that democracy is a slow and a messy process. And especially so in a country where democracy is new and where lawlessness is widespread. As I finish up this serious part, I want to urge you not to tune out news coverage of Iraq, even though it often seems like nothing more than a litany of attacks. Whether you agree with the war or not, it may be the most consequential foreign policy step this nation has taken in a generation, and we all have a stake in the outcome. Success or failure, I think it's fair to say, will impact all of our security and this country's standing in the world. Now that I'm in finger-wagging mode, I'm going to move to the third and final portion, which is advice. Three things: First, I urge you not to take for granted the piece of paper you're getting today – your degree. I recognize that liberal arts are somewhat out of fashion. The New York Times wrote an article recently that said liberal arts is "under siege"... that "critics... call it an overpriced indulgence"... and that "fewer and fewer of today's undergraduates are pursuing the liberal arts, with most of them studying practical subjects, like finance, marketing, real estate, and pharmacy." (They didn't mention dentistry.) I have nothing critical to say about these choices. But for my money – or, more accurately, my parents' money – I will take the liberal arts education any day. What these people over here [gesturing toward the faculty] have given you, I hope – and, I hope, me – is an openness of mind, a base of knowledge, and an ability to formulate and articulate arguments that will be a huge advantage in your life and your work. Back to my grandfather. This is how he puts it in his speech. "You have learned how to learn. This is what will help you know the difference between a job that's just work... and one that is pure joy. Never lose the capacity to learn, or your life will change from living to just existing." Which brings me to the subject of career choices – and my second piece of advice, which is going to sound weird at first, but bear with me. Fear is both your friend and your enemy. Fear, for example, can protect you. My grandfather wanted me to tell you about how I was covering the Afghan war in the mountains of Tora Bora and a sniper took a shot at me and my crew. He wanted me to say that I "threw myself on the ground in a very undignified and inglorious manner." This fictionalized account – and I say "fictionalized" because the way in which I threw myself on the ground was, in my opinion, quite graceful – does contain a nugget of truth. Obviously, if somebody is shooting at you, you should duck. Fear is good. Let me put it in more subtle terms by quoting my father, who has an expression: "The price of security is insecurity." It's a terrible thing to tell a twelve year old; it'll ruin your life. But you guys are old enough to handle it, I think. I agree with this. A healthy dose of fear, insecurity, whatever you want to call it, can lead to careful decision making and good preparation. But, as I said, fear can be both your friend and your enemy. You cannot let it paralyze you. There's something comforting, I've learned in my years as a journalist, that I hope will mitigate any fear you might feel as you go about making career decisions. What I've learned is that things that from a distance seem intimidating, daunting, scary, are often, upon close inspection, just the opposite. I learned this by covering such stories as the dotcom boom, Howard Dean's presidential campaign, and Saddam Hussein. Now these stories are obviously all not connected in any way – except that they all started with massive hype and ended with a sudden, violent implosion. Another example is the Taliban, oddly enough. In late 2001, while the U.S. was still bombing Afghanistan, the Taliban invited a group of journalists, including this one, to come in and see the bomb damage first hand. I was terrified, quite naturally. I did it anyway As it turned out, however, the Taliban – or at least the low-level guys who drove us around – were anything but scary. Yes, they had guns. Yes, they had beards and turbans and they could look scary. But they were essentially scared kids from the countryside. As I was preparing to leave the country after this brief visit, one of them actually took me by the arm and said, "Take me to America." So I encourage a healthy dose of fear and insecurity, but you cannot let it hold you back from calculated risks. And that's my third and final piece of advice: take risks, especially right now, at your age. I do remember, as my grandfather said before, what it felt like to sit in your seats. (Except my graduation was outside because the weather was good.) And, despite what my grandfather said, I actually wasn't hung over. I was a little hung over, but mostly what I was feeling was depression. I was looking down the barrel at the rest of my life, and I had no idea what to do. I suspect some of you understand how that feels. My mother, however, had some valuable guidance. She said I was 21 years old, I didn't have much to lose, so I should pick the coolest thing I could think of to do and give it a shot. So I had done a few internships in TV news and I thought that was pretty cool. So I started looking around for jobs. I applied all over the country and I was rejected for reporter jobs in some of the smallest TV markets in the nation, including Presque Isle, Maine, population: 9,511. I finally got a job up in Bangor, Maine. The job was part time (five hours a day), paid $5.50 an hour, and involved writing scripts and operating the camera in the studio. There were vague promises that at some point I might be promoted to a reporter. So I told my mother about this, and she said that was the stupidest thing she'd ever heard. I tell you this because her guidance, if not her follow through, was terrific. She denies this, by the way, to this day. I can't imagine a more exciting career. I am still surprised every time they let me through security at ABC. It's hard to find a way to say what I'm going to say here in conclusion without sounding sappy. But the best piece of concrete advice I can give you is really to obey those clichés from the after-school specials: "follow your dreams," "just do it," "carpe diem," etc. When you're young, you really can afford to take a few hits. I say dream up the most exciting possible career you can think of and give it a shot. In my experience, the rewards can be tremendous. This sort of calculated risk can mean the difference between a career that is, as my grandfather says, just work or pure joy. I want to wish you good luck. And I also want to say thank you again for this astounding honor. |

Many weddings portrayed in film are the typical love at first sight, the wedding and happily ever after. We must keep in mind that relationships and weddings are fictional and infatuation and not the kind of love that last forever. Weddings in film never expound on the fact that marriage takes hard work and effort. Movie weddings are pure fantasy and does not take into account the commitment that is a must for any relationship to prosper for the long haul. We tend to fall into the mind set of movie portrayals of weddings and marriage but it is just unrealistic.
After all many films still feature traditional weddings and families which just is not the case in the age we live in. On screen weddings are portrayed as a husband and wife but in many cases it is man and man or women and women. Many film weddings are not current on the way of the world. Many people want the weddings and lives of their favorite character on film, which in many cases are not possible. The real world teaches us that film weddings are fantasy and not what we live in the real world. Weddings in film tend to exceed our expectations of what it takes to truly have a successful marriage.
Film weddings tend to give a false perception of what marriage entails. Film weddings and marriages makes it seen as if marriage is very simple and that it takes little or no effort to maintain a decent marriage. We all know that marriage takes the commitment of two people who are willing to do whatever it takes to make the marriage work. The stereotypes of film weddings can only cloud the expectations of the couple and leave them wondering am i doing everything i can to ensure that my marriage can and will over come any obstacle.
Weddings in film tend to portray the notion that marriage is not very important and that you need not put to much work into it. Divorce is always a viable option and that there is no need to spend a lot of time trying to fix the problems. Film weddings are fantasy and should be viewed as just that. There is not a lot of comparison to film weddings and real life weddings. Real life weddings are just that "real life", full of commitment and love for the institution of marriage.

Two top Juniper executives are leaving the company as part of a sizable restructuring of sales and support organizations, CRN has learned.
Mark Bauhaus, executive vice president of service, support and operations, will exit Juniper at the end of the year. Juniper's Service and Support Organization, which Bauhaus led, is being folded into its broader sales organization led by Gerri Elliott, executive vice president and chief sales officer.
John Morris, executive vice president, strategic alliances, also will be leaving Juniper at year's end.
[Related: Juniper Shares Jump On Acquisition Talk]
Reached by CRN, a Juniper spokesperson confirmed both exits and confirmed that the moves are part of the previously disclosed plan by Juniper to remove $150 million in expenses.
In an internal memo to Juniper's sales and executive teams authored by Elliott and obtained by CRN, Elliott said that Bauhaus' reports including Alex Gray, senior vice president, global support; Matt Hurley, vice president, CSS marketing; and Glenn Osaka, senior vice president, field service delivery, will all now roll up to her.
"Mark's many contributions include growing our SLT business to over $1B and accelerating our services progress," Elliott wrote in the memo, dated Oct. 18. "Mark is a truly authentic leader who has been a mentor and role model to many at Juniper, and we wish him all the best for his future endeavors."
Meanwhile, Morris' organization, Strategic Alliances, will be merging with Juniper's worldwide partner organization, to be renamed Worldwide Partners and Alliances and led by Emilio Umeoka, Juniper's senior vice president, worldwide partners. Elliott wrote that merging the two organizations will "provide a central point of focus on all our partner activities and allow for greater synergies and alignment at all routes to market."
Morris is well-known to Juniper partners for his previous role heading up Juniper's sales and worldwide field operations.
"It will be hard to say goodbye to John Morris who has been my friend and colleague for more than 20 years," Elliott wrote. "He created our global sectors for Enterprise and Service Provider, introduced New Network Selling, and set up the collection of improvement-focused initiatives that we know as Day in the Life of the Field. I know he will stay in touch with Juniper as he pursues new goals."
Bauhaus joined Juniper in 2007 and before that served in a number of vice president- and senior vice president-level roles at Sun Microsystems over a 20-year span. Morris came to Juniper in 2008, following a stint as president and CEO of Pay Touch, and before that had a 23-year career at IBM.
Other changes include that the team under Brian Brouillette, vice president, professional services, will now be split between two teams: CSS Business Operations will come under Todd McLaughlin, vice president, worldwide field operations, and the CSS Partner team will come under Umeoka.
Juniper earlier this month confirmed plans to cut 500 jobs, part of an ongoing restructuring needed to pare down expenses as the company has struggled this year. Juniper reported declines in sales and profit for its second quarter back in July; it is scheduled to report fiscal third-quarter earnings Tuesday.
In a response to CRN queries, a Juniper spokesperson wrote in an email:
"As we disclosed on our second quarter 2012 earnings conference call, Juniper is working to align its resources to improve productivity and effectiveness, enabling us to deliver our road map for innovation and unprecedented value to customers. As a result of this important initiative, we are reducing our workforce by approximately 500 people in functions across the company. Our actions to reduce operating expenses fall across our support functions, including supply chain, procurement, SG&A, as well as R&D. They are being carefully planned and managed to maximize efficiencies in our cost structure while preserving the investments in innovation in our core businesses of data center, routing, switching and security."
Earlier this week came a report that Juniper has hired JP Morgan to advise it on a possible sale of the company, and that EMC may be an interested bidder. Several analysts have said an EMC acquisition is unlikely, however.

Repair Stories
These are stories, written by people just like yourself, all about repair. Some end well; some end poorly, but all are fascinating tales of repair adventures. Read through some of the stories below, and perhaps you will be inspired to fix some of your own things — even the ones that aren't broken... yet.
My Mac Mini was to slow with its HDD.
I installed a SSD and my problem is fixed because iFixit.
La Bateria ya no estaba funcionando bien por lo que decidí cambiársela yo mismo.
My mid-2011 27" iMac started making an annoying buzzing sound, like an arcing/cracklin
I want to boost my MBPro to its limits so I want to swap SATA to SSD and still use my 750GB SATA as added internal storage. Upgrade Memory from 8GB to 16GB. My system is QuadCore i7 it has more cpu power but less memory and I/O. So I decided to give a boost to my MBPro instead of buying another $2k+ MBPro.
My family spilled a whole glass of wine over the keyboard of their precious MacBook Air, it went completely dead and I didn't have the tools to open it so they had to send it in at the store for repair. They were told repairing it would cost well over $1000 with no warranty against later problems, so they decided to buy a new one instead, leaving me with trying to rescue the data from a dead drunk laptop.
I did what every laptop owner ever has done; I forgot the one basic rule about laptops. Don't. Ever. Drink in front of the computer. Sure enough, I ended up emptying half a glass of juice into my trackpad. Apple juice, none the less. You'd have thought it would make the trackpad work better, not ruin it for eternity.
But alas, a dysfunctional trackpad was what I ended up with. A cursor jumping all around and opening programs, and even swiping like a madman if I would dare to enable the multi touch-commands.
My friend dropped their phone and had some pretty nasty cracks on it. The LCD was giving some weird effects and she could barely see what she was doing.
Basically because the cost to fix the phone was way cheaper than new or Ebay.
initially i thought the dirt particles inside the iphone 5 camera prevented the focus for getting to work properly, but after an initial genius bar date, it was obvious, the camera has a technical problem. the kind offer to get a out of guarantee special priced phone was not an option.
The problem? Old age. After ~6 years of use my iPod Touch 1st gen's battery finally stopped holding a charge. So, I decided that spending $10 for a chance to give it new life was worth it.
Power button KO. I fix it cause is by far the cheapest and funniest way of recovering your phone..
Le disque dur fourni par Apple s'est trouvé être défaillant (problème reconnu par Apple et pour lequel ils avaient mis en place un système de remplacement du Disque Dur). M'y étant pris trop tard, j'ai du remplacer par moi-même le DD.
The screen shattered after I dropped my phone on a hardwood floor.
Two of my late 2009 MacBooks were very slow. So I decided replace hard drives with SSDs. Then I realized that I don't really use the optical drives and I could replace those with the old hard drives.
Two old iPods (30 & 80 gig) batteries were dead. Otherwise they were in pristine condition. Apple repairs were too costly and time consuming for my taste.
Water was spilled on my Mac book. Consequently Mac book can not be turned on.
We all know in our heads that life is not eternal, but in our hearts it's a different story. When it comes to love, sometimes it's hard to let go. What made him so special was the way he made me feel, the way he brought out emotions I'd never felt before. It was like he saw in me a creative side I never knew existed. When they told me he was too old, there was no chance, it was his brain that was gone, I could hardly believe it.
Surely, I said, there must be something you can do. Please -
No, the guy at the Genius Bar said, we no longer do logic board repairs on Macs that are more than five years old.
So, I brought my 2009 black MacBook home to my boat and put him to rest under a towel in the quarter berth. I thought about donating some of his organs, but that laptop was the one I used for the five years I during which I lost my way, decided after 4 books I couldn't write anymore, then started the book that changed my life, Circle of Bones. I couldn't just throw him away. I thought, maybe next time I go sailing I'll conduct a burial at sea? No, that laptop gave me back my life. I had to do the same for him. I would try to raise the dead. It was time for surgery and some serious organ transplantation
Giving the Laptop to my grand niece. Had to erase all the personal stuff and restore to pristine condition for her.
Rescued a PS3 who had been left for dead. To my luck it's problem was the ylod.
My girlfriends iPhone 4S dropped on the floor and both the screen and real glass panel cracked. So being the geeky engineer that I am, I rushed to the opportunity to be her hero by fixing the screen and rear glass panel all by my self. So I fixed it and became her HERO! Can you say.... MEGA POINTS!!!! Yeah Baby....
My wife dropped her iPhone 4 on the floor just as she was about to put a bumper on it. The glass on the back was broken. As was her heart. She loved her iPhone.
Mi MacBook Pro tenía tres problemas:
1-La batería estaba en su último ciclo de vida, estando a un 50% de capacidad máxima.
2- Los ventiladores no funcionaban correctamente, haciendo mucho ruido. Estando uno de ellos, el derecho, prácticamente estropeado.
3- La unidad de CD/DVD no funcionaba desde hacía tiempo.
A parte de eso, el disco duro se me quedaba algo lento para los programas actuales y decidí instalar un par de SSD de 256 GB aprovechando que no funcionaba la unidad de DVD.
My old iphone wouldn't hold a charge but was perfectly fine otherwise especially for my 11 year old to play games, instagram, and music. We use it as a spare for our boat to play music. I hate the thought of our disposable society. We need to practice what we preach. The young generation talks about being more environmentally responsible and yet are always buying and discarding new technology. Very environmentally irresponsible!
Over a month ago my son spilled a full pint of milk into his laptop. After 9 months of hectoring him to treat his new macbook pro with care he paid the ultimate price, it was completely dead. The chickens (or cows) had come home to roost. I took it to the expert repairers who delivered the final blow, the milk had caused total obliteration and the soggy laptop was uneconomical to repair.
The laptop sat forlorn and unloved for a month on a table while the culprit moped around avoiding eye contact with the once cherished item and displaying pained expressions every time someone mentioned milk. Worse yet, the tragedy reached Facebook and his friends mercilessly traded milky jokes.
I hate waste so even though it wasn't a great financial decision I decided to fix it. I fixed it for the reasons some people climb mountains - because it was there and I thought it might be fun. As a generally inquisitive person it was an itch I had to scratch. My wife thought I was crazy, my son was quietly hoping for a miracle.
I wanted to replace the standard hard disk drive to a SSD drive for an older MacBook Pro.
Went on vacation with iPad, dropped it on a tile floor and, bingo, had the green pixel screen. iPad was still functional, just annoyingly so, so I was able to search online what to do and found the ifixit.com website :)
More than a year ago I noticed that my 250Gb HD had SMART errors. For a long time I crossed my fingers, backed up very regularly and decided to ignore it. Until Mavericks came along. When I tried to install the new OS, the installer didn't allow me to continue because of... the SMART errors. I decided it was time to take a gamble and invest some money in my 2008 laptop. A full SSD drive was over my budget and seemed too expensive compared to my laptop's age. So I chose the 500Gb hybrid HD. That way also solving the usual lingering lack of space...
The capability of original battery shrunk a lot in the past 3 yrs. When I open the Map app at a low battery level, the phone may shut down suddenly as the voltage is not steady anymore since half year ago.
The problems that indicated a yellow light of death of the PlayStation. With the power on with the red light showing on front of PS3, you hit the power button, it would begin to start for a few seconds change from a red light to a yellow light, the back to a beeping and flashing red light. Was unable to do a fan test or eject game from the PS3.
When my ps3 got the YLOD, I was devastated. I knew I could send it back in to Sony, but that would mean I would lose ALL my data from the past 5 years of gaming. I refused to just lose hundreds of hours of gaming. I knew in order to get my ps3 fixed AND retain all my data, I would have to perform surgery on the system myself. I just could never find a reliable way to fix the system. After awhile I put the issue on the backburner, until I happened across this guide on iFixit. After watching the instructional video and reading all of the reviews, I was convinced I was ready to try the procedure.
Stuck power button and broken home button. No idea why they broke down. I guess I'm not the only one...
The battery life had dropped to less than an hour and my once mobile device had become permanently tethered to a power source. It was time to either fix this iPod or buy a new one. The replacement battery was a cheap enough gamble, I decided it would be fun to try.
My battery stopped loading when connected to the MagSafe power adapter. At first only from time to time (sometimes it worked, sometimes not). Then it completely stopped working.
And I only got that very very dim green light on the MagSafe.
As long as connected to the power cord the MacBook Pro would not run on battery - it seemed though the battery was needed for startup or so. As soon as the battery was dead I couldn't start my Computer. So the first thing I tried was getting a new battery, but that didn't solve the loading issue. At least the battery came with 60% which was great for another few month. Till I came down to 20% and I decided to finally try swapping out the DC-In Board.
Actually I was afraid of the repair, because you have to dig your way all through the MacBook - but it was worth it.
A complete laptop in good condition purchased from ebay, with the problem that power on caused brief flicker from the led's in the bezel, then nothing.
The battery of my iphone had gone old and was getting discharged quickly. I found iFixit and ordered the part online and got it delivered at my friends place in US. The package was delivered at his place in 5-6 days. He was travelling to India in next 15 days so he brought it with him and gave it me.
My daughter dropped her phone in the toilet while washing her hands. Fortunately, she'd already flushed!
I know: When the fans start making noise, it's time to save the CPU from a heat stroke. So new fans and all accompanying stuff was ordered to cure my Macbook Pro 15.
I had spilled something (beer, probably) on the laptop. The keyboard was nonfunctioning and the trackpad was sending faulty data to the processor--the pointer was jumping all over the screen.
I could sort of use the computer if I connected an external keyboard and mouse, except that it wouldn't recognize input from a USB mouse. However, connecting a USB mouse was still better than nothing, as it disabled the input from the trackpad.
My Macbook Air was coming to 2 years and i wanted to give it new life and a new OS to last another 2!
IPad dropped to the floor. Broken glass and damaged corner.
I had no real problems but needed to extend the life of my iMac model 10.1, it is a 21.5 late 2009 model. With the new SSD on board it is working great again!
My sister's macbook fell on the floor and damaged the screen. apple was charging about 750$ and she was unable to fix the lcd display well i never fixed a macbook but god gave me power and made me feel i can. So i brought the lcd display through ifixit.com and gave my sister a nice birthday gift.

Not worth the money
By Vintage Mum Marti

About Me First Time Parent
I bought this for my 7 month old daughter's Christmas present, since I've been reading her the Very Hungry Catepillar book and it was a favorite of mine as a child too. This toy is a disappointment. The fruits are barely recognizable and not well made, there just isn't enough detail for the price you're paying. The plum (I presume) is actually a light blue, the strawberry is just a red triangle shape with no detail added for the seeds. They are also quite boring to play with; the strawberry and pear both have a squeaker, the orange,the apple and the caterpillar himself all crinkle and the blue plum has a jingle bell inside and that's about it. No real variety at all.Anyone with halfway decent knitting, crochet or sewing skills could do a better job of creating more realistic fruits. The caterpillar isn't bad and the storage apple is probably the most interesting thing about it.My daughter has shown no interest in it at all. She has more variety in her other toys, which capture her interest more than this

One of my favorite toys!
By Amanda
from Minneapolis, MN
I love this toy! My son is 7 weeks and he loves to look at the toys, the fruits do different things (have crinkle paper inside, squeak, rattle) so they always keep his attention, and I'm sure he will STILL play with this toy when he is 6+ months. The fruits also have thick strings that my son tries to grab. Between the sounds, and touch - you can really see his brain working when we play with this toy.

About Me Parent of Two or More Children
This toy is awesome! We received as a gift-it's so versatile! My 6 month old plays with and (and chews on it's characters) and my 3 1/2 year old plays with it and it gives her a visual that she likes to play with when reading the very hungry caterpillar. Such a fun toy!

"Can you hear them? It's so beautiful."
Those were the last words spoken by Nathan Hale in Resistance 2 before he was killed by Joseph Capelli. Resistance is a sci-fi shooter series, but Resistance 2 was more sci-fi than shooter. Insomniac Games brings the series back to its roots with the $59.99 Resistance 3. It isn't a mere rehash or continuation of the original, but rather a fusion of both. Bringing back elements from Resistance such as the weapon wheel and health packs, and combining them with the intense nonstop action of Resistance 2, Insomniac games has created one of the best games in the franchise so far.
Resistance 3 picks up roughly a few years after the events of Resistance 2. You play as ex-military personnel Joseph Capelli who, after being convinced by his wife and Doctor Malikov, heads to New York City to end the Chimera invasion—in North America at least. Aided by Doctor Malikov, Joseph travels across the United States from Oklahoma to Philadelphia to New York City. Along the way the Chimeran forces come out in full effect and do their best to stop Joe from completing his goal and getting back to his family.
The weapon wheel returns with a slot for every weapon in the game from the Bullseye to the Carbine, as well as new weapons including the Mutator, the Cryogun, the Atomizer and the Wildfire. The new weapons are a big plus for the game's new direction. The Mutator is a biological weapon that can cause some serious health issues to both humans and Chimeras; Cryogun is a weapon that freezes enemies over time; the Atomizer is the equivalent of a giant electric cannon; and the Wildfire replaces the LAARK as the standard RPG-esque weapon. You can level up your guns, too. Leveling up weapons is simple enough; keep using a gun, reach a certain kill quota and your gun will go up by one level. Note: The highest level a gun can reach is 3.
Resistance 3 doesn't have a huge learning curve with its look-aim-shoot mechanic that most FPS games follow, but it does see the return of the series notoriously difficult "Superhuman" mode. This is how it works: As the game's difficulty increases, the artificial intelligence also increases on both sides. Enemies become more aware of player presence and for the few moments in which you have teammates they can definitely hold their own on the higher difficulties. Superhuman difficulty is definitely much easier with a partner using the co-op mode.
Co-op can be used both online and off, but online is, in my opinion, the better option because you are free to have your own screen rather than dealing with the horizontal split screen. The game includes a bit of exploration with 42 pieces of intel spread throughout the single player levels.
Not only does the game come with co-operative multiplayer. but it also has competitive multiplayer. The online multiplayer has several different modes including Deathmatch (a huge free-for-all), Small Deathmatch (a smaller free-for-all), Team Deathmatch, Capture The Flag, Chain Reaction (teams have to capture and hold points in order to succeed), and Breach (teams are set as either Attackers or Defenders and they must successfully fulfill their roles). All modes require you to play as a squad, except for Deathmatch. Unlike some other FPS games, going out on your own and trying to be the "team hero" is highly advised against.
Depending on which side you play for, human or Chimera, you will receive a killstreak bonus at 3, 6 ,and 9 kills. However, killstreaks do not stack. This means that if you go on a 3 killstreak and do not use the ability before you die, when you respawn and go on another 3 killstreak you will not receive another ability unless you get 6 kills. My only gripe about the multiplayer is that players can use the Atomizer which is an EXTREMELY overpowered weapon and it appears to be a normal load-out weapon rather than a killstreak reward.
Resistance 3's control scheme is just like that of any game in this genre; the weapon wheel is perhaps the only unique control feature. You can have two weapons set to your quick select at one time, and can switch between them at any time by pressing triangle. The weapon wheel, however, allows you to choose between all weapons in your arsenal and set them to you quick select for ease of access.
The games artistic style is also unique to the Resistance name with, almost, comic book style drawings with gritty backgrounds. CG scenes are really well polished to the point where they look like an animated movie. The in-game graphics are a bit less stunning, though. They are well made, but character faces are stiff at times and, if you look for them, you can sometimes see the same character model for human NPC's throughout the game. Vibrant colors are something you will never see in Resistance 3 as most color schemes share the same brownish or grayscale tones. It's not a bad thing, though, as the colors add to the apocalyptic feel that the game conveys.
The games sound mechanics are amazing. Explosions are loud and sound deadly, bullets whiz and whistle through the air as they make their way to enemies, and Chimera growl and roar with ferocity as they make their way to kill Joe. All weapons make different noises depending on the ammo they fire, and enemies let loose distinct dying sounds to let players know they have fallen. With the Chimera invasion having hit the USA there isn't a lot of music playing in the game, but the soundtrack that is there seems to be a genre of its own–if post-apocalyptic classical music was a genre.
At the end of the day Resistance 3 is a great game and a definite must-play if not a must-buy. I've had it for a week and have played through the single player at least 5 times already. The game doesn't seem to get stale at all even though you'll probably know what is going to happen after your first play through.

I love these small plastic spoons for cooking! They are perfect to add to any station for quick tasting and sampling of the food to ensure the best dish at the end!! Easy to dispose!!

We have used other plastic spoons from a few other companies. These are by far the best price we encounter. Will definitely buy them again.
Candy L. Posted on 02/06/2012
These teaspoons are sturdy enough for foods that aren't too thick. Trying to force frozen ice cream out of its container would definitely break it. On the other hand, once the ice cream softened these do a great job and of course, what I like best is the clean up. Disposable and as far as I know, they are recyclable.

ASUS Eeepad Transformer - Daydream & Keyboard dock
I have a Transformer TF700T.
Under Daydream: When to Daydream, the only option offered is "While Charging," not "While docked," so it will only activate while the charging cord is directly connected to the tablet, not when the cord is connected via the dock. And it's an ASUS keyboard. I like Daydream, but I don't want to have to disconnect the dock to get it to work. Ideas?

I only use poll numbers when others throw out wrong ones. So no, this does not surprise me at all, a very large percentage of our population are complete morons. Here are some other stupid polls:
Can correctly identify Larry, Curly, and Moe as the Three Stooges:75%
Can correctly identify the executive, legislative, and judicial branches as the three wings of government:50%Cannot find Iraq on a map:63%
Cannot find Afghanistan on a Map:90%Sun Revolves around the earth: 20%
So when saying what Americans believe its useful information, for determining the right course of action its often time useless. I get so depressed about our future when I read stuff like that. It explains alot about how we got in this situation.
So let me get this straight. It's "useful information" on the one hand, and "useless" on the other??
So...from which poll did your "useful information" come from and for what purpose was it presented? (be careful it's a trick question).

Hi Gang,
My remote works great and it's fast when I change channels etc. BUT ONLY when the TV is OFF!! Once I turn on the TV, my remote stops working for 20 minutes and then it mostly works but not great. I have to turn off the tv, change a channel and then turn the TV back on.
On a side note: The HDMI output also stopped working (tech support could not fix it). My laptop has HDMI and works great with the TV.
I have:
1: Called tech support and have performed every type of reset known. They are baffled
2: I have unplugged the box for 12 hours or more with same results
3: I have Swapped remotes with the other box downstairs with same results
Any ideas?? Can I PLEASE have a new box???

IraqBBC's weapons report doubtedBy Times Wires© St. Petersburg Times published July 21, 2003 LONDON - The BBC said Sunday that Dr. David Kelly, the British weapons expert who committed suicide Thursday, was the source for a report on doctoring intelligence files that led to a running battle between the broadcaster and the government of Prime Minister Tony Blair. In South Korea, Blair said he will take full responsibility if an inquiry finds the government contributed to Kelly's suicide. Blair, dogged on his trip through east Asia by angry charges about the Ministry of Defense adviser's death, said he has no intention of resigning over the dispute, as some critics at home have demanded. He also said at a news conference with South Korean President Roh Moo Hyun in Seoul that he will testify in the investigation. He welcomed the BBC's announcement, which temporarily shifted the angriest public criticism from his administration to the broadcaster, whose credibility came under attack. Kelly told a parliamentary committee two days before his death that he did not provide the report's central contention: that the government had "sexed up" a government intelligence dossier by incorporating a claim that Saddam Hussein had chemical and biological weapons deployable in 45 minutes. The announcement by the BBC's director of news, Richard Sambrook, further undermined the authority of the hotly contested report in that Kelly, 59, a former U.N. weapons inspector and adviser to the Ministry of Defense, was not a senior intelligence official involved in preparing the dossier as the network had called its anonymous source. The original report, aired May 29, was particularly damaging to the government, which is fighting charges that it manipulated intelligence information to justify the war in Iraq. The police found Kelly's body Friday in woods 5 miles from his Oxfordshire home, his left wrist slashed and painkillers nearby. © 2006 • All Rights Reserved • Tampa Bay Times

Rough 3 days, and another Preseason Ranking gets tossed away. This season will play out like the ones of the past CJP "highly rated" teams. We will lose to all the good teams, we will run through a horrible conference and the CJP backers will get excited and talk about how great he is for beating the SMU's of the world. We will the weak CUSA tourney, and get another 8-12 seed, and get put out in the first round of the NCAA again. Then Kingfish and everyone will talk about wait till next year, and how highly rated we are again. His big picture is the size of a passport photo.
wow...can you tell me the winning numbers for Powerball tonight? because you're obviously clairvoyant...or maybe we should be glad for a hard earned win...badly needed...the fact our guards played well...maybe even give CJP a "little" credit for trying something new and moving JJ to the 2 spot to start the game...and wait and see what ACTUALLY happens this year...OR we could just listen to you and not play the rest of the season since you know exactly whats going to happen

For well over a decade now (depending on how you count, perhaps for over two decades), I have been writing plays. These plays are, almost without exception, utterly unperformable. It would take a troupe of lunatics to even attempt to put even one of my plays onto the stage.
However, I have always been noted for my wildly liberal, pro-lunatic tendencies, and in that spirit, I will, here at Thmazing.com, be making as many plays available as possible--and doing so as quickly as possible.
All of these plays may be performed without monetary compensation to me. However, I would be deeply hurt if you lunatics did not contact me at the bottom of this page and let me know about your productions. Also, any ephemera--programs or the like--that you would care to send along to me would be gratefully appreciated. And said ephemera will certainly find its way onto this section of Thmazing.com for all the world to share.
I have possibly hundreds of plays that are eligible for posting here, but please understand if I cannot prioritize this process and they are thus slow in appearing. I myself, please keep in mind, am not a lunatic. Am not am not am not.

Wondering whether you should invest in a Los Angeles remodeling project? There are a few factors that you can consider before making a choice.
Our homes are more than just a place where we live, eat and sleep, it's a place that represents who we are.
With that being known, we want our houses to look as best as possible, in order to give the best impressions the first time and every time someone comes over.
The Exterior of Your Home Isn't Eye-Catching
The first place you should look when considering a Los Angeles home remodel is the outside of your property. This is the very first thing that visitors and passersby see. Stand out in the street and see what they see. How does your roof, siding, walls and lawn look? If they look less than satisfactory, then you can hire a Los Angeles contractor to fix things up a bit. Curb appeal is definitely important if you're looking to sell your property. Some of the ways you can enhance the exterior of your Los Angeles home is to repaint the shingles and walls, install new gutters and siding, repair or replace the roof and lay down cement along the driveway. You can also make the outside pretty with plants, shrubs and trees. If the grass doesn't grow too well, an LA contractor can install pellets of grass for you.
Your Home's Comparison to Others in the Neighborhood is Mediocre
Do a bit of research about the features that are in the other homes within your Los Angeles neighborhood. Does your home only have one bathroom while others have 2 or more? If you notice that there are deficiencies in your home, you can easily consult with a Los Angeles contractor to get rid of the problems. Adding on bathrooms, bedrooms and other spaces can easily be done. The resale value of your Los Angeles home will also increase thanks to your Los Angeles remodeling work.
Your Home Doesn't Stand Out
If your home does stand out from the others in your neighborhood, hopefully this is a good thing. On the other hand, if your property doesn't pop out or have any distinctiveness whatsoever, you can do a bit of remodel work to add key features that allow it to stand out. These distinctive features can also be on the inside of your home. Some may include walk-in closets, larger kitchens with island counters, two-car garages or attractive landscapes.
You're Unhappy With Your Property
As the owner of your home, you have the right to make yourself feel as comfortable as possible. Remodel your property as you see fit and in the mix, you'll be raising the value of your home. You can consult with a Los Angeles contractor to see what can be done to transform your home into a comfort haven for you and your family. Hopefully from there, you will be able to undergo a Los Angeles remodeling project that will please you.

Hawke's Bay versus International All Stars (NZ) – Updated
28 August, 2008
HB Futsal launches the 2008 futsal season on Friday 22nd August with an exhibition match featuring some of New Zealand's top futsal players.
** Update : Hawkes Bay won the exhibition match 7-5. Thanks to everyone in the crowd of 300 who came to the Hawke's Bay v All Stars exhibition on August 22nd. A great way to kickstart the season – you can see photos from the big night here. A special thanks to Carlos and his team for making it such a special event. **
The match at Pettigrew Green Arena is between Hawke's Bay and the International All Stars.
The Hawke's Bay team includes players from Hawke's Bay United's NZFC team, as well as top young players from HB Futsal's premier league.
The All Stars are lead by Waikato-based Brazilian professional and former New Zealand futsal coach, Carlos Farias and a team of South American and African futsal experts.
Futsal is the FIFA approved version of five-aside indoor soccer. It is the world's fastest growing indoor sport and is played by millions of players in over 100 countries.
The current world futsal champions are Spain and the 2008 FIFA Futsal World Cup is due to be held in Brazil next month. The tournament will attract a television audience of millions worldwide.
The name "futsal" comes from the merging of the Spanish/Portuguese words for football (futbol or futebol) and the Spanish word for indoor (salon or sala).
Futsal is a fast-paced game played on a basketball sized court using a low rebound ball, often with Brazilian samba music playing as a soundtrack.
Soccer superstars such as Ronaldinho, Messi, Pele, Zico and Cristiano Ronaldo all learnt to play soccer by starting out in futsal.
The game demands quick reflexes and promotes fast thinking and pinpoint passing and shooting, with players touching the ball on average twelve times more per game than in outdoor soccer.
As a result, players develop close individual ball skills and tricks very quickly, making it an exciting game for young players.
Currently HB Futsal has around 200 players enrolled in Thursday night children's and adult's leagues, which are run in partnership with Hawke's Bay United Academy.
HB Futsal also run schools tournaments in November and December as well as an all-ages one day tournament at the NZ Games at Pettigrew Green Arena on 21st September.
Players and teams can sign up for all 2008 leagues and tournaments before and after the exhibition match.
HB Futsal are delighted to be able to bring this unique sporting event to the Hawke's Bay public. Spokesman Paul Toohey is particularly pleased to have a player of Farias's quality on board. "Carlos has played futsal at the highest level in Brazil, in front of crowds of 40,000, twice a week" says Toohey. "His technique and ball control are amazing. What he can't do with a ball probably isn't worth doing."

The Indian cinema industry has taken note of Nerja and is going to film scenes in the town for future Bollywood film productions.
According to Bernardo Pozuelo, the council member for tourism in Nerja, an Indian film crew will be in Nerja during August. Film locations are apparently still being studied. The scenes are expected to involve colourful dance groups, very typical of Bollywood film sets. Other locations have also been chosen in Andalucía such as Seville and Marbella.
Interest from India in Spain has been inspired by a recent film, a couple of years ago, titled "You Only Live Once", a story of three visitors on holiday to Spain, which received 7 nominations in the Bollywood Oscars. A song in the film, a rumba called "Señorita" sung by María del Mar Fernández was a huge hit in India.
The demand for filming in Nerja is constant, from film sets to adverts, documentaries, video clips and holiday television programs.

Tag HEUER Meridiist Phone (3 of 11)
It was only a matter of time before the famed Tag Heuer Meridiist phone got a diamond make over. It is an official diamond make over too, not one of those aftermarket jobs. I am as much a fan of luxury as the next luxe lover, but what is the deal with diamonds on phones? As though a $5,000 - $8,000 phone was not enough given that it will go technologically extinct in a few years? Your future paper weight needs diamond decoration as well? Plus, nothing say's "ergonomics" quite like the jagged edges of fine cut stones against your palms and the side of your face. The Meridiist Diamant phones will likely go for between about $10,000 and $30,000. 28/09/09

If you've always thought your family was the world's most dysfunctional, a trip to August: Osage County is just what the doctor ordered. Penned by Oklahoma-born playwright/actor Tracy Letts, the ultra-dark Pulitzer- and Tony-winning comedy nods to tragic Camille via Violet Weston — a bitter pill-popping matriarch with cancer and a missing husband. With her entire clan assembled, mama can't resist the opportunity to unpack the family's most toxic baggage. When it debuted on Broadway in 2008, Charles Isherwood praised the "turbo-charged tragicomedy" as "flat-out, no asterisks and without qualifications, the most exciting new American play Broadway has seen in years." A film adaptation starring Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts is in the works.

We are showing you the Global version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
Adventures with Ira Ryan.
I have no idea how Ira Ryan finds the time to build bicycles, but somehow he does, and they are always beautiful. Slate's new "West Hills" bike arrived today and confirmed everything in that line of thinking. Check out the red drop shadow on the stainless steel swallow. More on that later, but it sure is beautiful.
Look through some of our fall Cross line photos and the Norddal photos because you can start to see what he has been up to. But that is not even the half of it.
Aside from that photo shoot he also had the pleasure of cruising though the Dolomite's earlier this summer with the Giro d'Italia playing itself out in the foreground. Stopping for espresso when needed and hanging out with his girlfriend Rachel and Photographer extraordinaire Dan Sharp. Add in a stop to Mr. Dario Pegoretti's shop and you have yourself a bona-fide cycling vacation.
So, you can see why it is fun to have him in the office to regale us with stories of his travels. His caustic humor and affinity for everything related to the bicycle make him a frequent guest of our spot.
One might think that the fun times would end there, but not the case with this world traveler. After arriving back in the states Ira cranked out a few more frames (delicately of course) and then packed up his Rapha Continental bike and jumped on a plane to Salt Lake City where he set off with the Rapha Continental crew.
It was only after they ended their ride in Boise, Idaho that Ira was finally free to start thinking about that season that we all know and love. Cyclocross. So, when the opportunity to ride his cross bikes through muddy green Norway it does not look at all like he has any complaints. Not even with a little mud on his face.
Check out some of the products that he does a great job modeling, the Cross Jersey, Cross 3/4 Bib Shorts with new Red Strips and even the Merino Hat. And then go find some mud because god knows how I am praying for it here in Portland.
