Damn Ikea, your stuff is cool looking but would it hurt you to have a catalogue of your old stuff? Some of us continue to use it and not simply throw it away when it breaks. When I cannot even find more than one image of my lamp on the Internet you know something is wrong. Anyway, Little Weed’s Aventuria halogen chrome ceiling lamp needs a T8A 5x20mm slow blow fuse. Fast blow is not acceptable.

China News Coverage of Toronto’s G20 is Fair

China News services such as Xinhua and China Daily are renown to bend news to favour China in all cases. These two news agencies are controlled directly by the Chinese government, so this should be unsurprising. How they treat foreign news depends on China’s relations with the countries concerned. I am happy to read that coverage of Toronto’s G20 riots were reported factually and very measured by both news agencies.
