I am Marie-Céline Dundelle, and I do not need a book contract to reveal that French women are superior in all matters. Our secret lies in an attitude toward life, a point of view that I can only call Frenchy. For example, let us discuss weight loss. The American woman obsesses over every calorie and sit-up, while in France we do not even have a word for fat. If a woman is obese, we simply call her American. Whenever my friend Jeanne-Hélène has gained a few pounds, I will say to her, “Jeanne-Hélène, you are hiding at least two Americans under your skirt, and your upper arms are looking, how you say, very Ohio.”

To maintain my figure, I eat only half portions of any food, always arranging it on my plate in the shape of a semicolon. For exercise, at least once a day I approach a total stranger and slap him. And late each afternoon I read a paragraph of any work of acclaimed American literary fiction, which makes me vomit.

As for family life, Americans are far too concerned with a child’s self-esteem and accomplishments. The French woman knows that to build a child’s inner strength it is best either to completely ignore the child or to belittle him. As I was giving birth to my daughter, I refused to put down my copy of French Vogue. When it was over, I turned to my husband and remarked, “I have just had an unusually large bowel movement that will never be as attractive as me.” During my son’s thirteenth-birthday party, I ordered him to remove all his clothing, and I told the assembled guests, “You see? That is why we raised him as a girl.” My wisdom can be traced to the influence of my own mother. When I was five years old, I asked her, “What is love?” She took my small, flowerlike face in her slender hands and replied, “What do I look like, Yoda?”

Although we French are renowned for our sophistication in matters of romance, French men have a reputation for being cads. Americans will point a finger at Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who is indeed a portly, repugnant fellow and a man who has been accused of assaulting women. When asked about Strauss-Kahn’s participation in orgies, his lawyer stated that Strauss-Kahn may have been unaware that the women involved were prostitutes because they were naked. Yet Strauss-Kahn’s wife has stood by him, for a simple reason: because she has married a French man, at least she will never have to say, “My name is Mrs. Newt Gingrich.”

The French woman is known for being effortlessly chic. I have, in fact, offered tutorials on elegance to American women. I will hand an American an Hermès scarf and ask her to tie it somewhere on her body, anywhere but around her neck. A French woman might use the scarf to secure a ponytail, or she’ll knot it loosely around the strap of her Chanel handbag. Sadly, most of my American pupils either use the scarf as a makeshift sling or eat it. I have attempted to counsel many American women against overdressing. I told one woman, “I’m going to turn my back, and I want you to take off three things.” A moment later, when I faced her, the woman had removed her teeth, one of her eyes, and an Ace bandage.

French culture remains unmatched. Our films include rollicking farces, searing documentaries, and quietly explosive investigations of family life. In these films, to avoid vulgarity, nothing happens, and none of the actors’ faces ever move. French filmmaking has recently reached a peak with the almost entirely silent Oscar-winning movie “The Artist.” True cinéastes say that the ultimate French film will be a still photograph of a dead mime.

The French woman has given so much to the world. Marie Antoinette alone has inspired books, movies, operas, and the hair style and perspective of Donald Trump. Our current First Lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, is not only a role model but an ex-model. But the most glorious and eternal symbol of French womanhood is, of course, Joan of Arc, because she was a cigarette. ♦

How to take apart Asus Eee PC 1201n netbook

2

In this guide I’ll be taking apart a Asus Eee PC 1201n netbook. I will show how to remove netbook memory modules, keyboard, top cover, hard drive, cooling fan and CMOS battery.

Most likely this guide will work for other Asus Eee 12XX netbooks. If it works for you, please mention the model number in comments after this post.

Make sure the netbook is turned off.

STEP 1.

Remove the battery.

Remove two screws securing the memory (RAM) cover and remove the cover.

STEP 2.

Both memory modules can be easily accessed through the door on the bottom.

Spread plastic latches on both sides of the memory slot until the memory module pops up at a 30 degree angle. After that carefully pull memory module from the slot by the edges.

In the following 7 steps I’ll be removing the keyboard.

STEP 3.

The keyboard secured by four latches on the top.

STEP 4.

Press on the latch with a sharp object and at the same time pull the keyboard a little bit up.

Do the same with remaining three latches.

STEP 5.

After all four latches are released, you can lift up the keyboard.

STEP 6.

Be careful, the keyboard attached to the motherboard with a flat ribbon cable.

Before you can remove the keyboard, you have to unlock the connector and release the cable.

STEP 7.

In order to unlock the keyboard connector, move the brown clip about 2-3 millimeters towards the display.

The brown clip must stat attached to the white base.

On the following picture the connector shown in the unlocked position.

STEP 8.

After the connector unlocked, you can release the cable and remove the keyboard.

You’ll find a few keyboard part numbers on the sticker. I’m not sure which one is the official Asus part number, but you can search on google for all of them.

I think one of these part numbers will lead you to the replacement keyboard.

In the following 5 steps I will show how to remove the top cover.

STEP 9.

Remove all screws from the bottom of the netbook.

STEP 10.

Remove all screws securing the top cover assembly.

Disconnect the touch pad cable.

STEP 11.

You unlock the touch pad connector same way you unlocked the keyboard connector.

STEP 12.

Start separating the top cover assembly from the netbook base. You can use a piece of soft plastic to separate the top cover. I’m using the guitar pick.

STEP 13.

Remove the top cover assembly.

STEP 14.

After you remove the top cover assembly, you can access the hard drive, cooling fan and CMOS battery.

STEP 15.

Remove four screws securing the hard drive assembly.

Slide the hard drive assembly to right to disconnect it from the motherboard.

Lift up and remove the hard drive.

As you see, it’s a regular 2.5″ SATA hard drive for notebooks.

STEP 16.

In order to remove the cooling fan, you’ll have to remove two screws and disconnect one cable from the motherboard.

After that the cooling fan is ready for the removal and replacement.

In the following guide I explain how to remove and replaced LED-backligt screen in Asus Eee PC 1201n netbook.

   @Laptop Tech,

   sorry for the late reply, yes i think its not heat related too.. i think its the motherboard? do you have any idea what part?? is there something like a battery sensor? cause sometimes it cant detect the battery, sometimes it detects it but not charging.. i know the battery is good, cause when you run it in battery it says 3 hrs plus and then it will shut down after few minutes

   @ wesley,

   hi i have a problem with my 1201N

   everything is fine when the battery is connected and is connected to the ac source

   but if i remove the battery and use only power from AC i get intermittent shut downs even when in the bios post

   this also happens if i only use the power coming from the battery.

   I don’t think this is heat related issue because the laptop works fine (as you said) when connected to both power sources.
   I don’t think this is DC jack related issue because the same problem happens when the laptop runs only on the battery power.
   I think this could be motherboard related failure but I cannot tell what exactly is failing.

   @ ERROL BLAKE,

   I need to change to motherboard of my 1201N. Where do I access Model No of the board, and can I purchase it from Amazon

   Normally the part number printed somewhere on the motherboard.
   Look for a sticker in the memory compartment. If it’s not there, probably the sticker is somewhere under the keyboard or even top cover assembly.
   I found one used motherboard on eBay for $200. Didn’t find any on Amazon.
   Is this laptop really worth replacing the motherboard?

   @ Susan,

   I need to fix jack only. What is the minimum I have to dismantle to do this?

   The power jack? You’ll have to disassemble the laptop completely and remove the motherboard.
   The DC power jack soldered to the motherboard.

Noting...

just learned this today :D

an awesome guitar gangbang

I'd love to know the title and artist behind this...

This is the Bohol itinerary I took during my three day do-it-yourself (DIY) tour of Bohol and Panglao Island. Instead of going direct to Tagbilaran City, I decided to take the cheaper fastcraft ferry to Tubigon Bohol. From Tubigon, I hired a habal-habal to take me through the Central Bohol highway going to Tagbilaran City. During the habal-habal ride, I got to visit the Chocolate Hills Viewdeck (in Sagbayan and Carmen town) and the many exquisite Bohol churches along the way. On my second day, I had a morning tour of the Tarsier Sanctuary in Corella and then a half-day DIY tour of Panglao Island. On my last day, I went to Baclayon to revisit the Baclayon Church / Blood Compact Site and followed the western coastal highway of Bohol back to Tubigon.

  I made this last night and it was delicious. I spiced it up a bit by adding a jalapeno from our garden and used some kind of hotter peppers we grew instead of the bell pepper. Used double the vegetables, half the salt based on other reviews. Also used large shrimp cut in half and a large dice on the chicken. Only other comment is the prep time is off by half at least...more like 30-40 minutes by the time I peeled and deveined the shrimp. Excellent and well worth the effort.

  Oh Lord - this is one of the best things I have ever made. I love cajun food and I have eaten in some very nice restaurants in NOLA and this tasted better than anything I have ever eaten. The sad part though is I only had one very small bowl. My husband ate the rest : :(

I really need to use the Andouille sausage soon...

The price is just pretty steep :(

I've been looking for a pair of wedge shoes like these, and just yesterday I tried these on. Oh I sooo would like to have these!

*Me wishing* ｡◕ ‿ ◕｡

November 18, 2011, 7:19 AM PST

Takeaway: Android has surged to 50% of the smartphone market and new devices arrive every week. Here’s a look at the 10 best Android phones money can buy.

Android devices has totally flooded today’s smartphone market. That includes a handful of really good ones and a bunch of mediocre ones. The Android invasion has provided a lot of choices at a lot of different price points, but that makes it nearly impossible to keep up with which phones are currently the best.

So, I’m updating my list of the best Android smartphones now that we’re heading into the year-end holiday season and all of the phone makers are basically done releasing big devices until the beginning of 2012.

There have been so many strong Android phones released in the last few months that my list has almost completely changed since my last big update in the spring. Only one device (the Samsung Galaxy 4G) remains on the list since April.

Another thing that’s different in this update of the leaderboard is that HTC is no longer the big player. HTC owned four of the top ten spots in the spring, but only one HTC device made the list this time. The company has been passed up by Motorola, which has unleashed a fleet of high-end designs during the second half of 2011, and five of them made it on to this list, including the No. 1 choice.

Slide show

The best way to view this list is the companion photo gallery, which offers a slide show of each of the 10 Android devices. If you don’t like slide shows, you can view it as a list below. I’ve also included a link to the full CNET review for each of the devices.

1. Motorola Droid Razr

I was extremely skeptical about this device when it was announced. Bringing back the Razr brand (Motorola’s wildly popular flip phone from almost a decade ago) seemed like a bad gimmick. However, brand names aside, the exterior design of this device is thin, light, and sturdy — a great combination. It’s also super fast (thanks to a 1.2 GHz CPU and Verizon LTE service), has a great screen, solid battery life, and Motorola’s Webtop docking capability. Some people will find the 4.3-inch screen a little oversized and it doesn’t have a removable battery, but the Razr represents the best all-around design in the Android universe, for now.

2. Samsung Galaxy Nexus

The smartphone that could soon overtake the Droid Razr for the top spot is the Galaxy Nexus, which is just hitting the market at the time I’m writing this list. This is the new “Google phone,” following in the footsteps of the Nexus One and the Nexus S. It’s the first phone to run Android 4.0 “Ice Cream Sandwich.” It has a similar curved design to the Nexus S, which was made by Samsung. I honestly preferred the Nexus One design (made by HTC) to either of the latest Nexus hardware model. Still, the Galaxy Nexus is a versatile, fast, well-designed device that will be available on Verizon in the U.S. and a variety of other carriers worldwide.

3. Motorola Atrix 2

I called the Motorola Atrix “groundbreaking” when it was released in April. That was mostly due to its ability to dock into a laptop or desktop experience with the help of Motorola’s Webtop software. Motorola has now extended Webtop to several more smartphones, and six months after releasing the first Atrix, Motorola has upgraded the product with faster internals, a newer version of Android (2.3), and a better camera. The device is sized perfectly (not oversized like the Razr) and feels sturdy and comfortable in your hand. With its docking capability and overall versatility, it’s an especially good choice for professionals.

4. Samsung Galaxy S II

As I’ve said before, I’ve never been much of a fan of Samsung’s smartphone designs. They use a lot of plastic, which makes the phones very light, but they also tend to feel slippery and not very sturdy. The Galaxy S II has a much nicer feel to it. The exterior is still mostly plastic but it’s textured, so it feels much better in your hand. This phone is super-thin, has a great screen, and a powerful feature set. The TouchWiz UI is pretty weak, but Samsung has minimized it to the point that the standard Android UI shines through a lot more. The Galaxy S II is also one of the phones that is most universally available worldwide.

5. Motorola Droid Bionic

We had to wait all year for the Droid Bionic to arrive. It was announced at CES 2011 in January and expected to be one of the top smartphones of the year, but it faced repeated delays. The Bionic that arrived this fall looked nothing like the Bionic shown at CES (which had a similar design to the original Atrix). The Bionic now available looks like a stockier version of the old Droid X. It features an industrial-looking design, great battery life, and high-speed performance from top-notch hardware and Verizon LTE 4G service. It’s not the flashiest phone on the market, but it’s highly functional.

6. HTC Amaze (a.k.a. HTC Sensation)

HTC has had a tough time keeping up with Motorola in the second half of 2011, but the one HTC device that made this list is a very good one. The HTC Amaze is the name of the HTC Sensation available in the U.S. on T-Mobile. It has a compact, rounded design that reminds me of the Nexus One and the original HTC Desire. The HTC Amaze also has a dual core processor, 8MP camera, hefty design, and T-Mobile’s HSPA+ network.

7. Motorola Photon

This is a cousin of the Droid Bionic mentioned above, only this one has a better hardware design and it runs on Sprint instead of Verizon. It’s another speed demon. It has a dual-core NVIDIA Tegra processor and runs on the Sprint/Clearwire WiMAX network for 4G. Like the Bionic and Motorola Atrix 2, the Photon includes Motorola’s Webtop software and the ability to dock into a PC-like experience on the desktop or into the laptop dock. It even has a nice little kickstand like many of the HTC devices like the ThunderBolt. This device has 4G WiMAX capability since it’s exclusive to Sprint (in the U.S.).

8. T-Mobile G2x (LG)

One of the best kept secrets is the T-Mobile G2x, made by LG. Along with the Galaxy Nexus, this is the only phone on the list that runs the stock Android OS, and that’s a big plus in my opinion. The G2x has a very polished, high-quality design with lots of metal. It has plenty of speed to burn and the form factor is a little smaller, similar to the HTC Amaze. It’s not huge like the Droid Razr, so it’s going to appeal to people who want a smaller, more portable design or simply have smaller hands.

9. Motorola Droid 3

The original Motorola Droid was the device that really launched the Android smartphone revolution (the earlier Android devices were unimpressive and failed to attract the public). The third generation Moto Droid is on this list because it’s the best Android device with a hardware keyboard. Most Android buyers — even BlackBerry converts — are moving away from hardware keyboards to full touch screens, but since there are still some die-hards out there, I wanted to put at least one hardware keyboard device on the list. Other than the keyboard, the Droid 3 hardware doesn’t have anything special and it lacks Verizon’s 4G LTE, so keep that in mind before opting for it solely based on the keyboard.

10. Samsung Galaxy S 4G

Samsung joined the Android ecosystem with a bang in 2010, putting its Galaxy S line of smartphones on lots of different carriers in lots of different form factors. The first successor to its initial line of Android phones was the Samsung Galaxy S 4G in early 2011. It was very similar to last year’s Galaxy S line but it added HSPA+ capability (which T-Mobile dubiously calls “4G”) and a svelte form factor that doesn’t feel quite as placticy as most of last year’s models. It’s not quite as nice or as powerful at the Galaxy S II, but it’s also much less expensive and still a solid choice.

I'd like to have a little black dress like this :)

After a regular upgrade on Linux Ubuntu Lucid 9.10, I was greeted with the following message:

You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.

I tried many forums to return this to normal. They seemed all too complicated and didn't solve the problem, more importantly.

Finally, I solved it by running a combination of commands from two different forums:

To use NVIDIA-provided driver, you will need to remove Nouveau first. You can remove it from a command-line by entering this:
sudo apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
(from this ubuntu forum)

1) Make sure that the kernel headers for your kernel are installed
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
2) Install the nvidia driver:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current (or nvidia-173 or nvidia-96,
depending on your card)
3) Select the driver that you wish to use (you can install all of the
nvidia drivers but use only at the time):
sudo update-alternatives --config gl_conf
sudo ldconfig
sudo update-initramfs -u
4) Configure your xorg.conf
sudo nvidia-xconfig
5) Restart your computer (restarting only the xserver might not work)

(from this launchpad forum)

Hope this helps

Although regulated by the LTFRB in reality the number of jeepney’s on each route is determined by demand more than anything else. The list compiled below has been gathered from multiple sources although even now is still not complete if you can add any others to the list on the comment system I will integrate them into the list to hopefully finally complete it. At the same time be aware Jeepney’s are a very loose term of vehicle it can be a multi cab type, its bigger brother or the original Jeepney all can be found around Cebu on different routes.

You will find the locations of where they are going on the sides of the vehicles the numbers “should” be displayed where you can see them on the front of the vehicle normally on the roof. One thing is not to worry too much if you miss the first one as normally its followed by half a dozen others shortly afterwards all heading in the same direction. Be aware though that they don’t always list all stop locations and generally its the start and end stops that are given on the side of the vehicle. Although the routes may appear a little random they are actually structured :-

Be aware the “out of town routes” market in Bold start and finish that the driver may not take you as a passenger unless your going from e.g. Cebu to Carcar as the distances between picking up passengers and length of route wouldn’t make it worth the drivers time to take you.
