I've thrown on one of my many geek tees to write up my review of Elizabeth Briggs' MORE THAN COMICS, just released this week! (hint, hint, hint) It seemed only right to get my geek on since this book is set at Comic-Con, folks! I have never had the privilege of attending, but man, would I love to. Of course, this book only further solidifies that and leads to daydreams of cosplay, camping outside Hall H, and all that fun stuff. For now, I've got this book to transport me. So, let's get started!
For those of you who have already read Liz's debut, MORE THAN MUSIC—If not, what are you waiting for?—I can assure you that this sequel won't disappoint because guess what? We get to hang out with Jared, Maddie, Kyle and the rest of the gang from Book 1 all over again! (The sequel picks up one week after the events of the first story.) And these characters don't just show up in some itty bitty cameo either; they're woven all throughout Hector and Tara's story. This is absolutely one of my favourite aspects of MORE THAN COMICS. Revisiting a great cast of characters from another angle (secondary characters becoming primary characters) makes me pretty darn happy. * I'm not sure why authors don't do this more, to be honest.
So let's talk about Tara and Hector. These two had great chemistry and not just the steamy kind. (Though there was plenty of steam. Much more than Book 1.) From the very beginning we learn that Tara and Hector have already established a solid friendship through an equally solid working relationship thanks to their joint efforts on a graphic novel--Tara writes and Hector illustrates. They have already spent time getting to know each other in every way but in person, so the shift from friends to more than friends is only natural. The events of the novel take place over four days, so thanks to their shared history, their romance doesn't feel rushed or unbelievable. There are roadblocks in the way of their romance, which comes as no surprise, but I never felt as though these issues were unrealistic or easily solved. Sure, certain things could have been resolved through open and clear channels of communication, but that isn't the way things happen all the time in real life either. Both Hector and Tara had (mostly) valid reasons for holding back, real concerns. We also can't discount the impact of past experiences on their present decisions. Exes hovering, huge choices to make about life direction, crossing that line from friendship to more and everything that entails, family dynamics and personal history that have played a part in shaping the characters… All of these things are valid, all of them legit challenges on the way to reaching a happy ending.
In order to fully experience both Tara's and Hector's sides of the story, we are presented with a dual point of view. I am happy to report that this was done particularly well. One of my greatest pet peeves as a reader is having to flip back to the start of a chapter to find out whose perspective I'm getting thanks to a marked lack of differentiation between voices. This is not at all the case with MORE THAN COMICS. When Tara is narrating, we always know it is her speaking and likewise with Hector's point of view. I want to cheer when an author does this well, so kudos to Elizabeth Briggs for pulling this off.
But back to that Comic-Con setting for a moment… Like I said earlier, I've never been but have always wanted to go. It was clear that the author has been to Comic-Con through the myriad little details that only someone who has attended this event would be able to relate. The cosplay moments were particularly great and, of course, the mentions here and there of superhero tees and the like. Without going into details, the campout outside Hall H was especially memorable because, well, steamy reasons(!) and I'll just leave it at that. Overall, this was a great choice of setting for Tara and Hector's story, one that will appeal to anyone who has ever wanted to attend or anyone who has been to Comic-Con or other cons like it.
If you like romance with loads of swoon and steam with a good dose of geekery tossed in, then you'll want to give MORE THAN COMICS a read. You don't need to read MORE THAN MUSIC first, but why would you deny yourself that privilege?
* Up next, I believe we're getting Julie's story in BEHIND THE SEAMS. Can't wait to read this one because it involves fashion! You can also check out MORE THAN EXES, a standalone novella about Villain Complex's bad boy keyboardist, Kyle.
MORE THAN COMICS (Chasing The Dream, #2)
They're friends online - but can they be more in real life?
Writer Tara McFadden has been friends with artist and drummer Hector Fernandez for years, long before his band became famous on reality TV – yet they've never met in person. They finally have a chance to connect offline when they're both sent to Comic-Con to promote the graphic novel they collaborated on.
Hector's secretly been in love with Tara for as long as he can remember, and once they meet, she sees him in a new light. All the years of longing lead to an incredible night of passion after one of his concerts, but neither is sure if their online relationship can translate into a real life romance – or if this will ruin their friendship forever.
Over four crazy days at Comic-Con, Hector and Tara must decide if they want a future together. But when their story seems to be over, it's up to Hector's entire band to make sure he and Tara get their happy ending. [Add it on GOODREADS.]

Free Crochet Patterns for Scarves
Free Crochet Patterns for Scarves
Crocheted scarves are great for keeping the neck and chin warm in the cold winter weather. They are generally worn underneath the jacket for extra warmth and protection from the cold air. In addition, lacy scarves are often so beautiful that you just want to wear them for fun.
The price for scarves can range anywhere from a buck at the dollar store to $50.00 or more elsewhere. And if you make them yourself, the price will depend on what type of yarn you use. I would say that in general you can make yourself a soft, beautiful and warm scarf for under $10.00.
Many crochet scarf patterns can be worked up within a few hours, but others can take a little longer depending on the stitch combination, the yarn that is used, and the finished size. Crochet scarves are fun and easy to make, and are great for beginners to practice with before moving on to bigger and more complicated patterns.
You can find scarf patterns in many pattern books, yarn labels as well as online. As a matter of fact, the Internet has a huge collection of free crochet patterns for scarves. The following list is a combination of both elegant and stylish scarves as well as a few very easy scarf patterns.
Beginner Hooded Scarf - CrochetN'Crafts
This is an easy crochet pattern to tackle for someone who is just learning how to crochet. The hooded scarf is worked in simple chains and single crochet stitches. However, the texture of the fabric is quite nice. - Beginner Hooded Scarf
Blizzard for Your Neck - Snowcatcher
This is a snowflake scarf, hence the name. The snowflakes are joined together at the points and contribute to a beautiful lacy look. You can join the snowflakes on one or more points, depending on how you want the finished scarf to look. - Blizzard for Your Neck.
Fall Lace Scarf - Design Adventures
The stitches in this fall lace scarf pattern are very simple to crochet, but the combination of them creates a nice lacy look. In addition to the beautiful lace, the scarf also has a lovely fringe on the ends. Fall Lace Scarf
Kaleidoscope Scarf Pattern - Wolf Crochet
This beautiful scarf is made with a fingering weight yarn. It uses an off-set shell stitch in order to help create a kaleidoscope effect. The texture and colors of this scarf both look fabulous. - Kaleidoscope Scarf Pattern
Pointed Granny Scarf - Crochet With Cris
This scarf resembles a granny square, only it is worked in rows. You can make it in different colors in order to create stripes, or make it all in one solid color. The finished scarf has two nicely pointed ends. - Pointed Granny Scarf
Shell Scarf - The Adventures of the Gingerbread Lady
This is for a wavy shell scarf. The shells help to provide not only a wavy appearance, but also contribute to a lovely lacy design. The pattern provides you with a graph, as well as with a step-by-step picture tutorial on how to work the stitches. - Shell Scarf
Wide Scarf - Free Crochet Patterns - (ruqqa)
This is another easy scarf to master for a beginner. It consists of chains, single crochet and double crochet stitches. The width measures about 8" and you can do as many repeats of the pattern in order to achieve the desired length. - Wide Scarf

Climbing on Zermatt's Peaks, Switzerlandoffered by supplier M09905 (read about supplier)
Key Information:
Tour Duration: 7 day(s)
Group Size: 1 - 12 people
Destination(s): Switzerland
Specialty Categories: Mountain/Rock Climbing Ice Climbing
Season: June - September
Airfare Included: No
Tour Customizable: Yes
Minimum Per Person Price: 1195 Pound Sterling (GBP)
Maximum Per Person Price: 2700 Pound Sterling (GBP)
Day 1: Meet up with your guide in Zermatt in the evening and discuss plans for the week and check your equipment. Stay overnight in hotel.
Day 2: Morning spent revising rock climbing skills in the valley, before heading up to the Rothorn Hut (3-4 hours).
Day 3: An early start (5 am) for the ascent of the Wellenkuppe (3903 m) and the Obergabelhorn (4063 m. These are great introductory peaks with sections of cramponing on 40 degree slopes, glacier travel and ridge scrambling to the summit. The descent involves abseiling too. Return to the hut and prepare for the next route.
Day 4: Another early start for a day making one of the classic ascents of the valley, the South-West ridge of the Zinal Rothorn (4221m). This is a magnificent day but long and tiring. We return to Zermatt and stay in the hotel.
Day 5: A recovery morning before catching the train down to the village of Randa and climbing the 1700m up to the Weisshorn Hut.
Day 6: An attempt on the Weisshorn. Towering to 4506 meters, the Weisshorn is a massive 3 ridged pyramid, rising above the Zermatt valley. Its normal route via the East Ridge is physically and technically demanding, with long sections of 4th and easy 5th class, a tricky and exposed rock ridge requiring care and the occasional belay, and a summit snow or ice slope up to 45 degrees. The altitude is also a part of its challenge, and the vertical gain on summit day is significant at 1600 meters (5248 feet). Overall, the ascent is slightly harder than the Matterhorn, but, most climbers agree, of much higher quality. This is a long day so we usually stay at the hut on the way down.
Day 7: Return to the valley. This day can also be used for an attempt in the case of bad weather.
Day 8: Disperse after breakfast. Other 4000 m peaks in the Zermatt range include Briethorn (4165 m), Dom (4545 m), Pollux (4092 m) and Castor (4228 m)
Similar itineraries also available in the:

(b) Saas Fee Round
- Peaks include: Weissmies (4023 m), Lagginhorn (4010 m), Stralhorn (4190 m), Allalinhorn (4027 m) and Alphubel (4206 m). Course starts and finishes in Saas Grund.

PhotoRepairs FAQ
Updated: Nov. 2, 2017
To find contact info for camera repair in Japan, click on the links below.
Canon | Casio | Epson | FujiFilm | Kenko-Tokina | Kodak | Konica-Minolta |Kyocera | Mamiya | Nikon | Olympus | Panasonic Lumix | Pentax | Polaroid | Ricoh | Sigma | Sony | Tamron | Independent Repair Centers
What is PhotoRepairs?
An English list of camera repair centers in Japan organized according to camera manufacturer. This is where you can find your nearest camera service center in Japan or find out how to send in your camera for repair. In recent years, many manufacturers closed their service centers in regional cities. So now the service centers are concentrated in the largest cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka, and Sapporo. All camera makers also offer mail-in repair services where you send in your camera for repair.
Note: Repair centers sometimes close or move, so you might find outdated information here. Contact us if you find any outdated information so we can correct it.
I live outside Japan and I need to repair my camera or lens in Japan. Can you help me?
Camera repair centers in Japan do not accept camera repair orders from overseas. They will not ship your repaired camera overseas. You need to be in Japan to receive your repaired camera. You need to contact your dealer or camera maker. You have to repair your camera in your own country. Or you can visit Japan and have it repaired here. But your warranty might not be valid in Japan. If you are outside Japan and want to repair your camera in Japan, you will need to find a friend in Japan who can accept your camera, give it to the camera repair center in Japan, then ship the repaired camera to you.
How can I repair my camera in Japan?
You can either take your camera to the manufacturer's service center or call a phone number and find out where to send it for repair. It might also be possible for someone to pick it up at your location. Sometimes your camera dealer can accept cameras for repair.
I bought my camera outside Japan and it's still under warranty. Can I repair it for free in Japan?
In the case of Nikon, camera bodies and accessories (flash, etc.) have only country-specific warranties. So the warranty will be valid only in the country where you bought the camera. Only Nikkor lenses have worldwide warranties. As for Canon, both camera bodies and lenses have country-specific warranties. Most other camera makers would have similar warranty conditions. Whether your warranty is valid or not in Japan, you can still have your camera checked out at any repair center in Japan for free. They can tell you what's wrong and give an estimate for the repair cost. If you bought your camera at a US military base in Japan, it will likely be considered as a purchase in the US.
I don't speak any Japanese. Will the people in Japan understand me?
Major camera repair centers in Japan will usually have someone who can understand English. Just speak slowly and don't use any difficult words.
How long does it take to repair a camera?
It usually takes one week for digital cameras. Certain manufacturers offer a quick repair service or same-day service depending on the camera model, the type of repair, how early in the day you bring in your camera, and how busy they are that day. Call to check. If you are a tourist visiting Japan, you will need to make sure whether the camera will be repaired fast enough while you're here. Call to check.
Also, if you are registered at a pro service center, you can get it back much faster and at cheaper rates. To be eligible to receive services from a pro service center, you must register and show proof that you are a full-time pro photographer.
What about cleaning my D-SLR's sensor?
You can usually have it cleaned on the same day you take it in. But if they are busy, it may require overnight service. Best to take your camera earlier in the day, by early afternoon so it will be ready the same day. Or you can call them to ask how long it will take. They might charge for cleaning the sensor, especially if the warranty has expired.
Do they speak English?
Staff at camera repair centers in Japan usually don't speak English, so when you call, try to have someone who can speak Japanese to inquire for you.
How much will it cost to repair my camera?
For expensive SLR equipment, expect to pay an arm or leg or both. Compact digital cameras usually cost around 8,000 to 13,000 yen to repair. Most service centers have a Web page listing their repair prices. You can also ask by phone for an estimate.
Can I pay by credit card?
Note that camera repair centers do not accept credit cards. Prepare to pay in cash. Even when you send in your camera for repair, it will usually be delivered to you C.O.D. so you will have to pay the delivery person in cash upon receiving the repaired camera.
How should I send my camera to a repair center in Japan?
You should ship it via a courier service called takkyubin (宅急便) available at most convenience stores. Or go to a post office and request Yu-Pack. You fill out the address label with the address and stick it on to the box. You will then receive the receipt that has the package tracking No. in case it gets lost. Better to not send anything via parcel post or regular mail.
What are independent camera service centers?
These are companies that are independent from camera manufacturers. They specialize in repairing old (classic) and discontinued cameras and often manufacture their own spare parts after the camera maker runs out of parts to fix your camera.
In other words, if your camera is too old to be repaired by the manufacturer, then you can take it to an independent camera repair center if it's worth repairing.
I forgot to bring my warranty card!
If your camera is a new model introduced less than a year ago, it will be obvious that it is still under warranty (usually 1 year), so they will likely repair it under the warranty even if you don't have the warranty card. But try to bring the warranty card just in case, especially if you have an international waranty.

It is possible that the main title of the report Pentalogy of Cantrell is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Pentalogy of Cantrell is a rare disorder that is present at birth (congenital). Pentalogy of Cantrell is characterized by a combination of birth defects. These birth defects can potentially involve the breastbone (sternum), the muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdomen and aids in breathing (diaphragm), the thin membrane that lines the heart (pericardium), the abdominal wall, and the heart. Pentalogy of Cantrell occurs with varying degrees of severity, potentially causing severe, life-threatening complications. Most infants do not develop all of the potential defects, which may be referred to as incomplete pentalogy of Cantrell. When all five defects are present, this is referred to as complete pentalogy of Cantrell. The variability of the disorder from one individual to another can be significant. The exact cause of pentalogy of Cantrell is unknown. Most cases are believed to occur sporadically.

Many congratulations to Kylie, after critics are wow, wow, wow, wowed by X 2008, here are some articles:
"Artists, identified by only their first name, have really made it. She brought as expected, an extravagant show with kitsch, glamour, extraordinary choreography and beautiful outfits."
DE MORGEN – Thursday 8th May – Belgium
"Half way through Kylie Minogue's show you realise that the performances of her more famous rival Madonna are second league in comparison to Kylie. This 40 year old Australian's production is one of the best touring shows on the planet. Although the show is clearly a feast for eyes, the truth is that musically it was a feast too. After all, Kylie is known as a singer first."
AKTUALNE.CZ – Tuesday 13th May – Czech Republic
"Kylie Minogue is the most popular pop diva of all. It would be nigh impossible to challenge the Kylie Minogue show. The high-tech stage, the costumes, dancers and giant scenes – it's the perfect mix of visuals with a professional show. But Kylie showed us a human side, she was happy to speak to us in Hungarian, forming her sentences perfectly making the audience could feel her close to her."
NEPSZABADSAG – Saturday 17th May 2008 – Hungary
"The world famous star Kylie Minogue… bewitched the audience at her concert… she amazed everyone with her beauty and energy. Contrary to many prima donnas, Kylie was smiling all the time and was cheery and generous with the press. Kylie Minogue expressed her admiration for Istanbul and we in turn admired her for her wonderful show at Kurucesme Arena."
Sabah KUMSAL weekly magazine – Thursday 22nd May 2008 – Turkey
"Kylie Minogue appeared in Sofia like the absolute goddess of professional show business. The Australian diva gave a phenomenal performance which goes down in history as one of the great performances of the early 21st century."
STANDART DAILY (National Daily Newspaper) – Tuesday 20th May – Bulgaria
"The entire show worked. The pace was timed brilliantly. Here was Kylie making bold moves with the designs, the rare songs included and (some) hits omitted. It's a risky show and… it's Kylie's finest. Every song absolutely wrapped around the audience. The arrangements of the entire show are mind-blowing and for this reason, the entire concert must be mastered and put to CD. Vocally flawless, the band and composers of the show have produced a live experience that was a complete and total aural feast."
dontstopthepop.blogspot.com – 2nd June – Munich, Germany
"The best party this summer! A Friday-night doesn't get any better than this! You can't help but compare the 40-year old Minogue, whose career spans three decades and Celine Dion who performed at the same venue last Monday. Dion's show was as pompous as the Titanic, but it was sunk by the iceberg-like coldness of the star-vocalist. Altho' Dion may be a better singer than Minogue, Kylie wins hands down with her huge party… All 11,600 happily dancing audience-members are proof of that. Kylie Minogue, shamelessly flirted, bustled with irresistible fun and came across as lot more real, sweeter and personal than Celine Dion or Rihanna who've performed in the same venue. With her dancers, her extravagant staging and her enthusiastic audience Kylie gave us a show we'll long remember."
ILTASANOMAT – Saturday 14th June 2008 – Finland
"The KylieX2008 World Tour show was reputed to be one of the most impressive, massive and expensive shows, and it was!"
ILTALEHTI – Saturday 14th June 2008 – Finland
'KylieX2008' plays Riga in Latvia tomorrow night before venturing on to Germany and Holland, and finally hitting UK shores next Thursday for as 4-night residency at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast.

Coach Jan Stanley on Thursday night became the all-time winningest volleyball coach in North Carolina high school athletics. No surprise there.
As sports writer Jeremy Trantham noted in his game story, Coach Stanley rocketed from the bench to shout one last order at her team, which held a big lead and was a point from the win that would secure her place in state preps history.
"I'm so relieved right now," Stanley said. "For everything. It's been a rough couple of days."
The team, students, fans and the media had focused on her quest for that 658th victory.
If Stanley had any doubt that she'd get the win Thursday night, she was by herself. No one else had any doubt that the coach who had always made her players believe in themselves and believe in one another would be rewarded by the team in front of the home stands, which erupted in cheers amid a shower of confetti.
The West fans knew the Falcons would win the big one for the coach. They had already baked a cake and loaded the confetti.
In comments that our sports department gathered in recent days it was instructive that few of Stanley's team members, colleagues and friends mentioned the wins.
They mentioned the things that matter in coaching, as in all teaching: her ability to build family, her tendency to teach calmly instead of through shouting, her eye for the greater lessons of teamwork, sacrifice, discipline, leadership.
"She really has a knack for building team character on her volleyball team," said Rick Wood, a longtime West basketball coach. On long bus rides to away games, Wood came to appreciate Stanley's devotion to her girls.
"She's able to develop that sense of family," Wood said.
The schools always benefit when the best teachers and coaches remain in one job at one school for a long time, even when the temptation is to move into administration. Of course, winning helps job security.
"What stands out most to me is everything she's done, she's done with class," said North Henderson athletic director Scott Rhodes. "You don't win 658 basketball games and not do it the right way."
Added Lindsey Pate, a West standout who graduated in 2007: "She teaches teamwork and leadership. It was the best four years of my life."
Stanley, who played basketball at Hendersonville High School, has been West's volleyball coach since 1975, the only one the school's ever had.
She's won four state championships but would have six if not for the absurd rule of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association that allows a private school stocked with club volleyball players from the entire Triangle to compete against 2-A public schools.
She won her 500th in 2002 and stayed on.
With her win, she joins a pantheon of coaching greats including Edneyville's Tom Pryor and Ted Carter, Joe Hunt and Jim Pardue of Hendersonville.
Here's hoping she stays on even longer, and not just for more victories. As her current and former players testified, it's the leadership and teamwork that lasts long after the last set and the final kill.
Stanley's long focus pays off

Polish anger at the continuance of United States sanctions, displayed in last week's sharp attacks on the Reagan administration, reflects in part an official sense that Poland has been unfairly treated by the West.
Whatever the merits of the argument, behind it is painful awareness on the part of Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski's government that without the lifting of US sanctions, the Polish program for economic recovery has only scant chance to get started.
Warsaw sees as unfair Washington's reluctance to meet what the Poles regarded as a tacit understanding that, once Polish political prisoners were amnestied, sanctions would be terminated.
When the amnesty was announced in July, Washington called it a small step, but one that was in the right direction.
The US removed a few minor sanctions against Poland and said that once the amnesty was fully and reasonably implemented, the US would lift major sanctions.
Of most concern to the Poles are the American refusal to extend commodity and trade credits to Poland and to allow Poland to be readmitted to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The essence of the Polish complaint is that the US is not living up to its word, although Poland has freed all its political prisoners in the six weeks since amnesty was instituted.
The amnesty covered a host of minor civil offenders as well as the political prisoners. The official total for the latter was 652, of whom all but 22 have been released. Those freed included the most prominent figures of the political opposition.
The remaining 22, according to an official statement Sept. 18, include two former Solidarity leaders facing allegations of treason, a charge not covered by the amnesty, and 20 persons charged with criminal, nonpolitical offenses. (Two are union activists who were amnestied but rearrested for defying the ban on public speaking on the Solidarity anniversary, Aug. 31.)
In the US view, the amnesty still has not been fully observed. Until the US feels it is being observed, the Americans say their opposition to Poland's return to the IMF stands.
There are semantic issues on both sides. Reportedly some of the 20 are being held for offenses such as the alleged theft of printing materials (for illegal propaganda purposes). To that extent, therefore, their detention is arguably ''political.''
But the Poles insist the amnesty has been both ''reasonable'' (to use Washington's terminology) and ''full,'' especially in the sense that it included the four workers' Self-Defense Committee (KOR) leaders and the seven leading Solidarity figures facing trial.
The trial against the KOR defendants had in fact opened but was dropped following the amnesty. This move surprised both Poles at large and most outside observers who had expected the Jaruzelski government to exclude its most radical opponents from the amnesty.
That they were not was seen as a move of considerable political courage, because the leadership was for some time under pressure, from outside Poland as well as from within the Polish Communist Party, to ensure the removal of this hard-core opposition from political life.
Considerable frustration may therefore be seen behind last week's onslaught on the Reagan administration, since - one may be sure - the hard-liners are also making capital out of Washington's continuance of sanctions.
To that extent, the delay must be seen as militating against General Jaruzelski's own position. But thus far the Russians have - however reluctantly - left him to handle Poland's crisis and the government's desperate quest for credibility at home in his own way.
In an interview with this writer in April, Jaruzelski rejected any idea that his attitude over the political prisoners would be influenced by demands from the US.
But he doubtless would claim that, since the amnesty, other US desiderata have been met: i.e., with new unions and vis-a-vis the Roman Catholic Church. A real dialogue might not yet exist with the latter, but the government has made it possible for the church to proceed with its fund to aid private agriculture.
The unions are not, of course, in any sense a restoration of the Solidarity structure. But in law they are independent of government.
Already this year they have shown some clout in such previously politically sensitive areas as wages and prices.
One union leader, Alfred Miodowicz, spoke last week of their program of ''socialism without defamations.'' It recognized the Communist Party's ''leading role'' and its policies because these were ''suited to the workers' interests.''
But one of the unions' major tasks, he said, would be to monitor implementation of the agreements reached in August 1980 between the government and Solidarity.
That, obviously, excludes the politicized aspects of the Gdansk accord. But there remain numerous concessions over social and normal trade union practice. Not all of these have yet been carried through, because of the country's bankrupt economy.
A solitary bright spot for the Warsaw government at this juncture is the expectation that this year's harvest will prove one of the best since World War II. The modest 22 million tons of grain in 1983 forced Poland to draw heavily on its thin hard currency reserves to pay for 5 million tons of farm and food imports.
Even if the 1984 crop removes this kind of pressure, a general recovery is out of the question as long as access to new Western credit is denied to Poland, as it still is under the US sanction.
Another major American sanction is suspension of most-favored-nation tariff treatment on Polish exports. Its renewal would provide valuable trading relief. But only World Bank and IMF membership can unlock the fresh flow of credit that might revive the economy.
To many Western observers it seems evident enough that Poland's economy must deteriorate further in real terms while that opportunity remains withheld. The sanction appears to ensure that Poland will become even more closely integrated into the Soviet bloc's economy than it now is, following four years of crisis and severed financial ties with the West.
Most of America's European allies see such an alignment as not in the West's best interests. They would prefer to see Poland in the IMF for political reasons and because it would help foster stability that is in the interest of the country's Western creditors.

Core 3.5.0-26-generic, Gnome 3.6.0
Go to system settings then network on the left hand side look for wired,wireless and
network proxy click on wireless on the right hand side network name arrow. If
system loaded wireless driver
If that does not work connect your wired either net then go through the setup
I just told you about, connect wireless, unhook the wired it will be automatic after that.
Then update your system. By typing sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade.
I was have same problem. (you probably have Broadcom wi-fi card)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo reboot
Go to settings manager > Additional drivers
and search for propietary BCM driver there.
Wi-Fi Card detected not working Ubuntu 12.10
"I've searched to web, tried various fixes, nothing seems to work."
What have you tried? ndiswrapper? specific driver downloads from support sites?
Like many, I'm new, didn't keep trak of w5 but mostly Ubuntu help forums with all kinds of direct terminal coding etc...
sorry for the lack of info.
As a biginner I've more or less tried many of the Unbuntu Forum fixes. That is enter code into the terminal and got halfways but it always jams and says it doesn't recognise this or that command line.
I should document my every move. And no, never tried ndswapper.

A Must-Listen ESAT Interview with a Veteran Freedom Fighter- Ato Tayachew Takele (Video)
A Must-Listen ESAT Interview with a Veteran Freedom Fighter- Ato Tayachew Takele
August 2, 2017
This is one of those interviews that was made to last for generations, in my humble opinion. Ato Tayachew is a man I have known for a lot of years in Seattle. He is a very principled and charismatic individual of yester year that is not easy to find these days. He loves his country more than himself. And he has paid a big price for it. And he is still fighting until his last breath. These kind of guys are not around anymore. They are on the verge of becoming an extinct species.
I don't want to put words in his mouth nor speak for him. Let him tell his story and then you will know who he is both as a human being and as a no-nonsense fighter.
How can you resist this genuine and contagious smile!

Gladstone Regional Council's annual Toad Busters Program returns next Tuesday evening (January 17) at Reg Tanna Park on Glenlyon Road.
From 6pm Conservation Volunteers Australia (CVA), who runs the popular program benefiting our waterways and wildlife, will welcome volunteers at an opening barbecue and information session.
This year's program will run on Tuesday evenings at various locations from January to April. Last year's effort removed about 4000 cane toads across the region.
Cane toads are an invasive animal that deplete our native species. Council encourages as many volunteers as possible to turn up and participate in the humane removal of toads from our local environment.
Participants usually work in pairs with one person holding a torch and the other catching and putting the toads in a bag. At the end of the night, the teams compare how many toads they've caught.
All participants will receive full training, bags, gloves and safety glasses. Please wear closed in shoes and bring drinking water, a torch and a sense of adventure.
Children under 15 must have parental supervision. For more information please contact Linda from CVA on 0418 630 503 or email email@example.com

Top Division I teams all have a good pitcherBy ROGER BROWN
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 07. 2013 1:09AM
Change was the theme in the New Hampshire high school baseball offseason. At least that was the case in Division I, where five schools will enter the 2013 season with a first-year head coach.
Dan Moylan, who played for the University of North Carolina and was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals, was hired as the head coach at his alma mater, Keene High School. Kyle Harvell (Nashua North), Nick Jaskolka (Merrimack), Steve Campo (Pinkerton Academy of Derry) and Kevin O'Leary (Manchester Central) are the other new faces in Division I.
In terms of identifying the Division I contenders, that discussion starts with defending champion Concord. The Crimson Tide lost four starters from last year's team, but appears capable of making another strong postseason run.
"We have some quality young pitchers," Concord coach Scott Owen said. "How they develop will tell us where we are.
"I think we're in the second tier of teams, behind Trinity, BG, Londonderry, Timberlane and Spaulding. Division I baseball is as hard as anything to pick because everyone has a good pitcher. That's why you see a lot of upsets in the first round."
Division II has been dominated by Seacoast teams in recent years. Portsmouth won four consecutive titles, but that streak came to and end with a loss to Lebanon in last year's semifinals. St. Thomas of Dover defeated Lebanon in the Division II championship game, but the Saints must replace all but one starter (senior outfielder Jon Nartiff).
"I really don't think that starting the season there's any team that's head and shoulders above everybody else," Portsmouth coach Tim Hopley said. "There's no team that I can say is the favorite, and that's different from years past when you could say St. Thomas will be at the top or Portsmouth will be at the top."
Campbell of Litchfield and Conant of Jaffrey figure to be two of the top teams in Division III. Campbell returned six starters from the team that lost to Hopkinton in last year's title game. The returnees include pitcher Connor Sahlin and shortstop Christian Bourgea.
Conant will feature a strong one-two punch on the mound with Devin Springfield and Josh LeBlanc.
Hopkinton graduated six starters, five of whom have been regulars in the lineup since they were freshmen.
"I would say Campbell is as close to a clear-cut favorite as you can get," Hopkinton coach Dave Chase said. "And with those two pitchers back Conant will be pretty tough to beat."
Lisbon had four all-state players eligible to return from a team that reached the Division IV semifinals last year, but shortstop Chad Knighton didn't come out for the team, and center fielder Zach Sweeney moved outside the school district.
"With those kids back I feel we could have been one of the best teams in the division," Lisbon coach Jeremy Aldrich said. "I told the team we can't worry about who's not here.
"I think things are wide-open. I think Newmarket is the team, but if certain things happen there are a lot of teams that could be there at the end."

Sometimes our cars go a bit wonky and they need to be fixed up! When it comes to your car, you can get any problems fixed by getting auto repair in Edmonton. But, depending on what is wrong, it may be a few days before you get your car back. Here are five things you can do while you're waiting for your car repair in Edmonton to be done. Read on to find out more!
5 Things to Do While Waiting for Your Car to Be Repaired
1. Hit up the library
If you want a way to fill the time while waiting for your car to come back, why not take out some books or movies from the library? The library can be a great place to find some material that will both entertain you and take your mind off of wondering when you are going to get your car back from a shop that does car repair in Edmonton.
2. Clean out your garage.
If it's going to be a few days, why not clean out your garage while you are at it? Your garage or even your shed has likely built up a ton of stuff and clutter inside, so organizing it all a bit should take up your time for at least a couple of hours. At the end of it, you will have a more organized space that you really enjoy. Make sure to re-label things and find a space for everything.
- Make some ice cream.
Instead of getting some ice cream for the store, why not make your own? Making ice cream is really fun and you don't even need to have an ice cream maker. There are plenty of recipes online so if you are craving some delicious home made dairy product, you can easily whip up a batch of your favourite ice cream for yourself! That way, when you get your car back, you will know how to do something new.
4. Tend to your garden and yard.
While you're waiting for auto repair in Edmonton to be complete, take some time to tend to your garden and yard. There are plenty of things to do, from pulling weeds in your garden to cutting and giving some fertilizer to your yard so that the grass grows green and thick. Take the opportunity to do some work and make sure your yard and garden look amazing. So go ahead and mow that grass and get the little things done. Your exterior will look great!
5. Have an old movie marathon.
While waiting for car repair in Edmonton, you may enjoy watching a few movies. Have an old movie marathon while you're waiting for those repairs to be made. Whether alone or with some friends, old movies can be really fun to watch. Pop some popcorn and in a few hours or days your auto repair in Edmonton will be complete and you will have a new appreciation for the actors of the old days. Whether they're movies you already know and love or something you haven't seen before, why not just fill your time with something interesting?

TORONTO, Oct. 25, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Atrium Mortgage Investment Corporation (TSX:AI) earned $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared with $2.6 million for the same period in the previous year. The company earned $9.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared with $6.5 million for the same period in the previous year. Earnings per common share were $0.20 (basic and diluted) for the three months ended September 30, 2012 (2011 – $0.22) and $0.65 (basic and diluted) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 (2011 – $0.65).
A dividend for the quarter of $0.20 per share is payable on October 26, 2012 to shareholders of record on September 28, 2012. Going forward, Atrium's policy is to declare a dividend of $0.066667 per common share per month, and if appropriate a special dividend within 90 days of the year-end to ensure that the company maintains its status as a Mortgage Investment Corporation under the Income Tax Act. The next dividend payment date is November 28, 2012 to shareholders of record October 31, 2012.
The company's investment in mortgages increased from $157.5 million at December 31, 2011 to $193.5 million at September 30, 2012. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, mortgage interest and other fees aggregated $4.2 million, compared to $3.3 million in the same period in the previous year, an increase of 29%. The average interest rate in the mortgage portfolio was 9.1% in the third quarter of 2012 compared to 9.3% during 2011. For further information, please refer to our condensed interim financial statements and management's discussion and analysis on Atrium's website at www.atriummic.com, or on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Robert Goodall, President and CEO of Atrium Mortgage Investment Corporation, noted: "We continue to have a successful year, with operating results as planned. The portfolio quality remains at a high level. During the quarter, our shares were listed on the TSX, and we expensed the costs of that listing, which reduced our earnings by about $0.02 per share. We believe that these one-time costs will be advantageous in the long term as they have provided greater access to public markets and to a broader range of investors."
Other Highlights
On October 1, 2012, Atrium opened its Vancouver office and appointed Bruce J. Weston as managing partner for British Columbia. That office is located at Suite 668, 1199 West Pender St., Vancouver BC, V6E 2R1.
Atrium increased its operating credit facility from $40 million to $50 million, as well as an additional temporary bulge facility of $25 million. Further details are set out in Atrium's press release of October 1, 2012.

IP Addresses in this range
IP address ranges, or netblocks, are groups of related IP addresses. They are usually represented as a base IP address, followed by a slash, and then a netmask which represents how many IP addresses are contained within the netblock. This format is known as CIDR. You'll also sometimes see netblocks given as a start ip address, and an end ip address, or an ip address range.
Traffic works its way around the internet based on the routing table, which contains a list of networks and their associated netblocks.

On the November ballot in California is a proposed law to require labelling of genetically modified foods. This article in USA Today brought up an important exception to the law: If passed, the law would take effect July 1, 2014, requiring that all foods containing genetically engineered ingredients be labeled "Partially Produced with Genetic Engineering" or "May be Partially Produced with Genetic Engineering." Exceptions: alcohol and food sold in restaurants. Animals that are fed genetically altered food, and are then eaten by humans, are also exempt. This wasn't clear to me- is it "alcohol and food sold in restaurants" or... Read more →
Oooh busted! I'd heard that it was common practice in nightclubs to pay for placement on the top shelves but I don't think I knew that it was illegal. Nearly all the top liquor companies got busted and fined for violating the "slotting fee" prohibition at Harrah's (through a third party). According to the TTB: The allegations of tied house violations stem from the companies' participation in the 2008-2009 Harrah's Nationwide Beverage Program. The TTB investigation, which focused on activities in the Las Vegas area, alleges that the companies collectively furnished nearly $2 million in inducements through a third party... Read more →
I wish all the major spirit companies would do this: Instead of being contacted by a million different PR agencies, I sat down with a Beam Global employee and she took me through some of the new product launches for Beam's brands over the next half a year. Beam has partnered with Thatcher's Organic Liqueurs so we may be seeing those around more. They're pretty low in alcohol level so I think they'll be more for home consumers than for bartenders. Of the ones I tried I think the apple-ginger one has the most potential. Jim Beam is releasing the... Read more →
For the past month or so, San Francisco bars have been in a panic as the ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Control) decided to crack down on a few bars for having infusions. These, it turns out, are technically illegal in California, as are homemade bitters, tinctures, and liqueurs like limoncello. I decided it was best not to share this information with too many people, as maybe it's best the ABC doesn't know that half the bars in the city- including all the best ones- have some form of rectified spirits on the menu. But today the Chronicle put forth the news... Read more →
I enjoyed reading this long article on alcoholic energy drinks, written by Kit Stolz for the Ventura County Reporter. After reading the long report about the sales, marketing, and consumer base of "alcopops" - caffeinated energy drinks- it seems to me that these are more like modern-day wine coolers, in a modern day world where young people probably consume five times as much caffeine as they did in the 1980's when wine coolers were all the rage.

Recently in the news, a 16 year old kid apparently died of excessive alcohol consumption at a party. (The autopsy is not complete, could have been other things in his system.) First the police locked up the party host who threw the event while his parents were away. Now they're trying to find who purchased the alcohol to prosecute that person as well. While I agree the alcohol-purchasing person should probably be fined, chances are he or she will be charged with involuntary manslaughter or something else awful. Personal responsibility be damned, let's blame someone else. I think that the... Read more →

Global and China Fluorite Industry Report, 2014-2016 is a new market research publication announced by Reportstack. Of extensive use, fluorite is widely applied in fields of metallurgy, building materials, fluorine chemical industry, etc. In 2013, global fluorite reserves attained about 240 million tons, mainly distributed in a few countries like South Africa, Mexico, China and Mongolia, wherein China's fluorite reserves accounted for about 10% of the world's total.
China is the uppermost fluorite producing country in the world with fluorite output approximating 4.3 million tons in 2013, accounting for 64% of the world's total. However, due to the overquick exploration, fluorite reserves in China become increasingly deficient. Thus the government takes active measures to protect fluorite resources, including execution of fluorite exploration volume limit and industry entry. Especially, after Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released two batches of production line lists in conformity with Fluorite Industry Access Standards successively in 2012 and 2013, fluorite output in China had presented a downward trend. It is estimated that China's fluorite output will slip to 2.85 million tons in 2016, proportion thereof down to 44.3% or so of the global total.
Against the background of a predicted decreasing fluorite output, China's fluorite demand will mainly count on fluorite import and technology of fluorine extraction from phosphate. Fluorite equivalent in phosphate ore (by calcium fluoride) in China reached 265.8 million tons, equal to 11 times current fluorite reserves in China, which provides a sound material basis for China's fluorite substitution. However, it still takes time to realize large-scale fluorite substitution due to immature production process of fluorine extraction from phosphate.
Multiple fluorite enterprises in the world are strengthening their integration of upstream and downstream industry chain of fluorite resources for achieving higher added value of products, and avoiding unfavorable price influence of fluorite market, etc.
Mexichem is an enterprise with comparatively abundant fluorite resource reverses, fluorite capacity thereof in 2013 reaching at least 1,348 kt/a. Currently, it is devoted to production of Fluoropolymers and Fluoroelastomers with higher added value.
As the second largest acid fluorite producer, Minersa achieves acid fluorite capacity of around 380 kt/a. Via its subsidiary Derivados del Flúor (DDF), Minersa has got through fluorite-fluorine chemical industry chain. DDF is the top producer and distributor of European inorganic fluorides and its products are extensively utilized in areas of refrigerant, air-conditioning system, chemical building, etc.
Main fluorite manufacturers in China include Centralfluor Industries Group, Inc., Zhejiang Wuyi Shenlong Flotation Co., Ltd., etc., and fluorite capacity of them respectively attains 550 kt/a and 420 kt/a. Whereas, comparatively speaking, China's fluorite enterprises are big but not strong and poor in downstream industry extension. While enterprises oriented to fluorine chemical industry, such as Sinochem Lantian Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Juhua Co., Ltd., Do-Fluoride Chemicals Co., Ltd., etc., accelerate improving fluorite-fluorine chemical industry chain layout. Taking Do-Fluoride Chemicals Co., Ltd. as an example, despite of the small fluorite capacity of only 55kt/a, the company has completed its "fluorite-lithium hexafluorophosphate-lithium ion battery" industry chain layout and become one of the major suppliers of lithium hexafluorophosphate (capacity of 2,200 t/a) in the world.
The report includes the following aspects:
-Global fluorite reserves, supply and demand analysis;
-Reserves, competition pattern, supply & demand, import & export, and industry policies in China fluorite industry;
-Influence of fluorite downstream market segments (such as building materials, fluorine chemical, iron and steel industry) on fluorite development;
-Operation, fluorite business and development trends of six global and nine Chinese fluorite players.
