Today my little one decided to throw a pumice stone at me while on my Macbook. Anyway, the stone skipped across the LCD & there are now little tiny gouges on the screen (some deep, some not, but I can feel them with my finger & nail). I’ve done my research. Tried toothpaste & vaseline & even men’s shaving cream. Nothing. Apple wants $800 to repair it…OUCH. Not to mention it’s 6 mos old. Is there a product out there that can help? Some type of filler? I’ve seen stuff on line, but the testimonies are not so great. Any suggestions would be great. Even if I HAVE to replace it, is there somewhere cheaper I can have it repaired? Serious answers only please. Thanks for looking!
If the screen still works, you might think about just sucking it up and living with it. It’s not a repair you can do yourself unless you have some experience and are willing to take a risk.
I think it’s unlikely that you can talk Apple into a warranty repair because the problem is damage, not component failure.
By the way, don’t pay any attention to the Mac-hating PC types. PC users, especially those in IT, hate and fear the Mac because it is a threat. The screen will cost more than a PC LCD screen, yes, but just think of the money and time you aren’t spending fighting viruses, the blue screen of death, not to mention the sleep you aren’t losing for fear that someone has hacked your PC and stolen your SSN and credit card numbers.

The recent Olympic protests in London, Paris and San Francisco are juvenile if compared with the great history of Greece where people really knew how to disturb the games.
Today when we talk history we get reminded of the greatness that the athletes and states of Greece possessed, which rose above politics and rivalry in sports. The Greeks used to have a sacred truce in between the states to permit spectators and athletes to participate in the games. But such armistices were continuously torn by the armies and states.
The Olympia arena was stormed by soldiers in 364 BC and there was a battle on the field. It is still the history’s biggest clash in which sports became the frontrunner in politics. According to Xenophon, the traditional hosts of Olympics Elians were overthrown by the neighboring Pisans and their allies Arcadians. They invaded the games at the height when the Greeks were caught up in a great wrestling match. The Elians, Pisans and Arcadians had a hand to hand combat in the sacred sanctuary of Olympia.
The two armies didnt harm the spectators as they impartially applauded the clash between the forces from the sidelines. Despite being forced to withdraw, Elians managed to organize the next Olympics under their control. The Athenians refused to participate in 380 BC games when one of their athletes was wedged in a corruption scandal. In 420 BC, during the time of Peloponnesian War, the Spartans were not allowed to attend the Olympics.
Twenty years later, the great Spartans found themselves again in trouble when they broke the sacred truce and were fined a Mina per solider, which amounts to US$ 5 million of today. The Olympics found itself in the driving seat of politics not only in times of war, but also when there was relative peace between the states. In 388 BC, Lysias (an orator) degraded Dionysis of Syracuse. Fans that came to see the games went wild after the comments and sabotaged the kings tent.
Considering the present situations, the ancient games were far more peaceful and were held consistently for more than 10 centuries. The modern Olympics which started in April 1896 has been cancelled thrice (in 1916, 1940, and 1944) due to the world wars, and the arena also witnessed the bloodbath of Munich Massacre in 1972.

Is there a way to filter out all the annoying car insurance ads?
Yesterday I badly bruised my shinbone when I lunged over the coffee table to get at the remote to change the channel when one of them (this one was Amica but there are five or six others) came on for about the twentieth time in an hour. I figure that the networks have some kind of running incentives contract with them to run the car insurance company with the most annoying ads the most every hour of every day. I can’t stand them.
Not really. Just use the mute button whenever they come on like I do. They have to pitch their crap constantly because everyone knows that the biggest scam out there is insurance. You pay pay pay into it and never get anything back and then when something happens like an accident and you have the nerve to file a claim they jack up your premiums 300% because you are now high risk.
Insurance = scam.

I am really into martial arts and competitive fighting. I have only taken about 2 (official) years of Karate training, but I am very interested in ALL styles of fighting and martial arts. I recently bought my very first Shinai (Bamboo Kendo Training Sword), and I don’t any training/practice sword techniques. I can’t afford any books/dvds, or schools right now. Can anyone help me find something on the internet for free that could help me? (Preferably Visual Training I am a Visual Learner.)!
Randall, there is no substitute for face-to-face instruction from a good teacher. If you can’t afford a school now, but there’s one in your area, see if you can’t work a deal. Offer to clean the mats for instruction, or take out the trash, or whatever you can do. A little guidance early on can keep you from learning bad technique that you will struggle to unlearn when you finally do get good instruction.
Kendo is the art of swordsmanship that was cultivated by the samurai in medieval Japan and it is an increasingly popular martial art studied in the West today. While most books on kendo focus primarily on kata, or the traditional movements or forms, The Shambhala Guide to Kendo provides a succinct overview of the art as a whole: its historical significance, spiritual teachings, and how it can b…

St Barts ā Premium IV – Activities & Vip Services
St Barthelemy, located in the French West Indies is the Monte Carlo of the Caribbean, without the traffic jams but with the added advantage of flawless beaches. Shortened to Saint Barth in French and St Barts in English it is an exclusive eight square mile (21 sq km) embodiment of 24-carat French chic. It attracts millionaires on luxury yachts, movie stars and French expatriates fleeing the European winter. It is a Caribbean island where relaxation and Gallic style under a tropical sun have been refined to perfection.
Few islands worldwide, can match the unique blend of style, nature and history that is St. Barts. This tiny island has significant appeal where ‘quality’ is most certainly more important than ‘quantity’… an island far away from the normality of life, making it the perfect vacation destination.
After an international flight into the hub of St Maarten and a short 15 minute connecting flight to St Barts it’s now time to kick back and stroll the beaches. There are 22 beaches on St Barts renowned for being some of the most beautiful and pristine in the world. Many are found in small coves, which have been protected from development by strict environmentally friendly zoning. Unlike many of its neighboring Caribbean islands, it has not been overrun with prefab condos and large chain hotels.
Explore history and culture throughout the capital Gustavia. Take in the sunset view from the lighthouse, visit the museums and churches. There is evidence of the Swedish settlers from the late 1700’s throughout the streets of Gustavia.
Water sport activities are vast, jet ski around the island, surfing, wind surfing, kite boarding, scuba diving, snorkeling, sailing, deep sea fishing and even a Yellow Submarine that goes from Gustavia’s pier thru the Marine Park and around Gros Ilets, towards “Les Petits Saints” discovering schools of colorful fishes, turtles, and 3 ship wrecks including the one motor yacht named “Non Stop”.
Charter a 65ft luxury power boat or luxury sailboat to tour around St Barts for half a day. Book a full day charter to neighboring islands of Saba, St Maarten, Tintamarre, Pinel, and Anguilla. Then on the return journey to St Barts stop just outside Gustavia harbor to watch the sunset and have a glass of champagne to celebrate the day.
On land activities include tennis, horseback riding, archery, yoga, fitness centers, massages, spa treatments, wine tasting and shopping. St. Barts is rated as one of the premier shopping destinations in the Caribbean and is also a duty-free port. Gustavia is the principal shopping area of the island. There are boutiques and emporiums for the most sophisticated shoppers, featuring luxury brands such as Cartier, Hermes, Dior to name a few.
St Barts has several hiking trails, some that take you to the highest points of the island like Mount Vitet, 286 meters high and others that circle around the widest points like the magnificent bay of Colombier . At the far end of Gouvernour Beach ( a 20 minute trail ) it is said that the infamous pirate Montbars the Exterminator buried his treasure during the 1670’s somewhere in the caves. Rent a scooter or quad bike and tour the island to photograph these natural tropical settings.
The most divine activity of St Barts is taking in some of the most exquisite cuisine and French wines of the Caribbean. The island has over eighty restaurants featuring culinary styles ranging from classic French to Asian to West Indian. Many of the restaurants attract gourmet chefs trained in France to oversee their kitchens. These chefs can also be reserved to serve guests in the intimate privacy of their own villa for a special event or treasured evening.
Nightlife of St. Barts is diverse as well. Visitors looking for late-night pleasures can listen to live jazz at a café or dance the night away at one of the local discos or after hour clubs. Be sure to call in advance to reserve a VIP table for the evening.
With so much to do and see while vacationing on St Barts, activities reservations and arrangements are best made well in advance.Take advantage of a local St Barts destination management company that is bilingual and available 24 / 7 to make all these arrangements.
