I used to access my home wireless with a Netgear N150 Wireless USB adapter. The device still works, because I use it for Roku, but my computer can't access the wireless network with it. As a replacement I installed a TP-Link 300Mbps Wireless N PCI adapter (TL-WN851ND). That hasn't worked from the start. During the course of trying to fix the problem, I changed at least 10 different settings, and none of them worked. Now, I've lost track of all the changes I made. What I want is to erase all of the previous settings and connections and act like my computer is fresh out of the box and has never been connected to the internet before. The TP-Link is what I want to use. Not knowing as much as everyone else on here about computers, I am assuming that the Netgear and TP-Link aren't the problems, and it is instead something with my computer. Is there some type of checklist I can go though step by step to see exactly what the problem is? I don't know if there is physically something wrong with my computer that I can fix by buying a replacement, or if there is some setting or driver or whatever that has been corrupted or simply stopped working that I can repair and get my wireless working again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I recommend downloading and running DAP. It can help sort out any driver and firmware related issues on your system
It's worked out well for many of us in the past.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloaddap.org. (This link will open the download page of DAP so you can save a copy to your computer.)
Are you guys aware of a single pci card that offers the typical ethernet connection as well as a wireless one? I'd like to have the option to connect to either and I don't want to get two seperate cards. Any info is appreciated, Thanks
I don't think you can do that but I would go wireless. :bounce:
Hi, I currently connect to the internet through a wired ethernet port in the wall which connects to my university's network.
I want to make this wireless since I bought a new macbook and was wondering if this product would do it? http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B006PYGWG6
I don't know much about it but I was concerned because the Router Mode says 'cable connection only' and I'm not sure the connection is cable (is it ADSL?). Will I need anything else like a modem?
Any advice?

I'm having problems connecting my PC via ethernet cord to the internet. We just got cable today and one of our PCs has a wireless card, when the other one doesn't. My computer is the basic one with the specs in my profile. It only has a dialup modem. I don't know if I have to configure something to the router or modem, but when my computer is hooked up to the router(the internet still doesn't work then) all other computers on the network won't connect to the internet.
Any help will be appreciated!

Is there such a thing as a 5 Ghz Ethernet card, or is just 5 Ghz wireless?
No - 2.4/5 GHZ refer to the wireless frequency.
Ethernet comes in two speeds mostly - older 100 Mb/s (100 megabits) or more modern 1000 Mb/s (1 Gigabit). Of course, these are usually much faster than internet speeds even for slower 100 Mb/s unless you have amazingly fast broadband.
So my wireless works well and fine, but the only problem is is that it disconnects time from time and i'm trying to download a 15 gb file that has no resuming capabilities. I want to use my ethernet connection rather than my wireless, but the ethernet (local area connection) isn't showing when I go to Control Panel/Network and Sharing Center/Manage Network Connections. I only see Wireless Network Connection. I have a router and a modem. the router is a linksys cisco. And my cable modem is linksys wrt45 or something. How can I fix this? My other two computers are using the ethernet cables fine.
Download and run VistaForums SysInfo Tool (Select All and export to a file) on the laptop you're having trouble with, and upload it.
Hi there,
I'm having troubles with our new router. I can connect via ethernet but not through wireless. I'm certain it's an issue with my laptop, as I've managed to connect several other devices without any problems. Any help would be appreciated as I've tried everything I can think of.

Atheros Wireless Adapter - AR5007EG & AR5007
Over the last couple of years we have been seeing a lot of problems with the above adapters, mainly concerning WPA and WPA2 encryption and mainly on windows Vista.
We have seen just a couple of issues on other windows operating system, windows XP and windows 7.
Windows XP:- A driver update has resolved the issue
Windows 7 :- No conclusive results for a fix
The wireless adapter gets an IP configuration, and shows as connected, but communication is non-existent or sporadic.
Log into the Router and disable the wireless security and see if you are now able to connect to the internet and surf OK.
Please post back a reply here, and let us know if that works or does not work.
If you post back the make and exact model of the router - we can advise how to disable the wireless security
Here are a number of possible solutions
--- 1) In Device Manager right click on the wireless adapter and "update driver."
--- 2) Download and install the latest wireless driver from your laptop manufacturer's web site support section,
If you post a reply here with the Make and EXACT model of your PC, along with the windows version you are running. we will see if we can find a link to the driver and will post a reply with the link here.
--- 3) On one occasion re-setting the router back to factory default and re-configuring the router settings has resolved t... Read more

My W8 PC is connected to the Wireless Router by Ethernet Cable, the PC also
has Wireless connectivity; is it possible to connect to the Router with both at t
he same time and if I do will that improve internet speed?
Your internet speed is determined by your provider and the package you have, it is irrelevant how fast your connection to router is as long as it is at least a little faster than speed to the provider. So you can not change the internet speed above what provider gives you.Read other 2 answers
Hi everyone
I dont really know whether this is really relevent, but I was just wondering. If I have both ethernet cable and wireless on one computer as 2 networks. Can I join up both of them to increase my internet speed or somthing. I tested both of them seperately and the ethernet cable was much faster than the wireless. My router is next to my computer. Can I have some tips. I will be putting some screenshots later.
Thanks in advance

Surprise, surprise...
should I enable the wireless when I want to use the ethernet, my wireless works fine, but when I try to connect with ethernet, either no connection or connection drops after a short time, It is a dell desktop with windows xp,with netgear switch, and comcast modem,with mac airport, I need to get my ethernet high speed working that I pay for. PLEASE someone help
If I am going to use ethernet for an extended time I remove an external wireless adapter or switch an integrated wireless off. But that's to extend the life of the unused component and to save the battery if on battery. If you are using a PCI wireless card with the desktop then disabling it is probably the best you can do. But that is not going to impact your ethernet usage, so it is really your choice.
Please show the following for when you have an ethernet connection and for when it has dropped ...
Open a (black) Command Prompt window:
Hold the Windows logo key and press r; in the Run box type cmd and click on OK.
Type the following command:
[Note that there is no space between the slash and ALL.]
Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.
Paste the results in a message here.
If necessary use a text file and removable media to copy the results to a computer with internet access.
I've just moved into my Halls at uni in London. We have to use a CAT 5E ethernet cable to connect to a socket in the wall. When we open a web browser we have to enter a username and password to be able to go online. I was wondering if there is any bit of Hardware which i could plug into the ethernet wall socket which would then broadcast that ethernet connection as wireless and if so if it is possible to protect the connection so others cant use the WIFI.

That probably means that they want to restrict usage to one computer per connection and do not want wireless networks set up. So, please check with the IT department before doing anything, as it's not very hard for them to detect violations.
On the assumption that you will not attempt this unless it falls within the rules, you can use a Wireless Access Point (WAP). Use encryption, preferably WPA2-PSK, AES, but at least WPA-PSK, TKIP. Use a passphrase that cannot be guessed and does not include dictionary words.
So I just bought myself a new laptop (hp dv6910us) and I'm enjoying it thoroughly but I have a very basic question about what to use in terms of internet. In my apartment, I can easily connect to the internet through my ethernet connection or through the wireless. Both are smooth, fast connections. In terms of increasing the lifespan and battery-life of the computer, should I stick primarily to connecting through the ethernet or through my wireless connection? I have an Atheros AR5007 802.11 b/g WiFi adaptor and my processor is an AMD Turion X-2 TL-60 2Ghz with 3.00GB RAM. Running windows vista 32 Bit. It's a general question, not a pressing issue so answer at your leisure. Thanks.
Not sure if anyone has ever bench marked something like that. But my gut feeling is that the wireless would draw a little bit more power but I have no evidence to back that up.
Hey all im new here, and this is my first post.
First of all I have a DSL connection through my provider. I then have a NetGear FM114P wireless firewall/print server (router ) attached to the modem.
My computer is currently hardwired through the ethernet port in the FM114P router with two other computers connecting by WiFi.
What i was thinking, was loosing the ethernet cord and turning this computer in to a wireless connection like the other two, but if i do will i loose speed? This computer currently gets between 700-950 kbps., depending on traffic.

A little confusion here - When I log onto my Verizon router page (that 198.xxx thing), I show many menus but the following 2 have me a little confused. One says "network connection" type is: Ethernet - I do have a yellow cable coming out of my Actiontec router to the pc so I get that. Another menu says "wireless settings" and this says "wireless" which I have set to WPA and the mode is 802.11g "only". Is this system wireless or ethernet or both? I would like to do the pc to tv connection for netflix movies at some point.. Am I all set with this configuration? (knowing I have to buy a box of some sort, Roku or Apple or something) and if I do have a wireless connection, can I connect the two without cables running from one to another? Hope that is all clear. Thanks in advance.

you have a wireless router - and so you can connect to the router with a cable as you currenty are doing and other devices PCs etc or your PC can also connect with wireless
I would like to do the pc to tv connection for netflix movies at some point..Click to expand...
someone else will need to answer the netflix service
from what I can see on the website
you can watch via a PC
Can I also watch instantly on my PC or Mac?
Yes. Simply press Play on any TV episode or movie to instantly watch it online on your Internet-connected PC or Mac.Click to expand...
so you can watch directly on your PC without any other device - and then if you have your PC video output connected to the TV you should be able to watch on TV via PC
whats the make and model of TV
- what outputs do you have on the PC video card ?
- what inputs do you have on the TV
if you have HDMI on both - then you should be able to use that - although for some copyright materials you will only be able to display on the TV and not two monitors
I have a Linksys BEFW11S4 4 port wireless broadband router with 2 x wireless laptops that can see each other and share files fine. I also have a PC which is hardwired to the router. All 3 machines have an IP address from the range I configured and all 3 machines can access the internet. The problem I'm having is that my hardwired PC cannot see the workgroup I have set up so therefore it can't see the 2 wireless laptops. The 2 wireless laptops can see the hardwired PC but cannot connect to it to view the shared folders.
I have switched all firewalls off, changed lots of config in the router, reset it to default, rebuilt my hardwired PC, pulled out some hair, changed network settings all over the place but just cannot get the hardwired PC to see the workgroup.
Any suggestions anyone ! !
Well, as long as all three are getting DHCP addresses from the same network, then the router isn't to blame, so, get it configured and leave it alone.
You say you've setup a workgroup for the laptops. That desktop machine also needs to be a part of that same workgroup. Then, you need to have the same username and password combination on the three machines, and then the desktop should be able to share files with the laptops.
And you definitely want the firewalls disabled until you get things working.
This is, perhaps, an extremely silly question, easy to answer as the Techguy says! I have been using a desktop with Ethernet LAN (Landline) for years. Now, I have a Dell Studio 15 Laptop with Wireless output signal. My question is, How do I connect the two, so that I can use the Laptop too through my land-line broadband connection? Do I use just a wireless router in between? Any type of Wireless Router, or, any specific type? Do I need to change anything in my desktop LAN setup?

Here's something that is causing massive loss of hair.....
My PC is connected to my router with a wireless card. I also connect my PS2 to my PC using an ethernet connection (the ps2 is "modified" and I use this connection to play music and video thru the ps2 to the TV).
Everything works fine with one exception. It seems like the wireless is not getting a DNS. To obtain one, I have to disable the ethernet card, connect to my AP, then enable the card. If I lose my connect with the AP (which happens sometimes, it's on the other side of the house and the signal is a little weak), then when it reconnects I have to do the whole disable/enable thing.
It's not a huge deal, but I do like my stuff to work properly and usually things like this are not problem for me, but this one really has me wondering. Anyone have any ideas?
Here's my ipconfig /all if that helps. What's odd is the ipconfig is *exactly* the same when I can connect and when I can't. So maybe it's not a DNS issue, but something else. But I am unable to connect to any web sites until I disable and re-enable the ethernet card.

In my office upstairs I have my broad band modem and two PC's and two printers. I would prefer to have these hard wired (ethernet) connected.
Down stairs I want to set up a PC for my wife via a wireless connection and I would also like to be able to use a lap to from the basement from time to time.
Can any one suggest a suitable configuration.
I have a friend with a similar set up who uses Net Gear DG632 and Net Gear WPN 824, but don't know if this is the best option.
Any help would be appreciated.
There's nothing wrong with your friend's configuration. One thing that I'd be thinking about, is the fast that you're going down two floors with the wireless signal. You might want to orient the antennas in a horizontal attitude to get more signal up and down, since the normal radiated pattern is like a bow-tie out the sides of a vertical antenna.
Hi guys,
In my office we have a windows server, 10 pc's and 3 printers. All devices are interconnected through a wired network. We have some business applications installed on the server and set up them to launch from client computers. As we are going to move to a new office space we have an intention to say goodbye to the wired network and make everything wireless. My question is will we be able to launch the programs which have being installed on server from client computers via wifi?
Thank you.

A friend brought over a computer for me to remove a virus, after checking out the computer found that the OS was hosed. So backed up data, and put a fresh istall of XP pro on the PC, legal copy not bootlegged. Couldn't get ethernet working, figured since he did have a several nasty viruses, I'd flash the BIOS, and right 0's to the drive just to make sure no nasties were still on the machine. All said and done, reinstalled XP Pro, on an Emachine T2862. Installed drivers. Installed a pci 3Com ethernet card, with the right drivers. No ethernet, cant get an IP, tried using a good static IP didn't conect to the internet, couldn't ping the router. Plugged in a Linksys wireless usb adapter, grabbed an IP right away. Tryied plugging the ethernet in, ethernets get IP's now, unplug usb and ethernet stops working. Plugged usb back in did all of the windows updates, including hardware. Tried Ethnet with the new drivers, still doesn't work. Tried Winsock fix, tried XP bat fix. Any other suggestions, I'm stuck.

SInce I bought the HP Pavilion Notebook T1E85EA#A I have suffered from unreliable wifi. I had put this down to my router however I have replicated the issue on another connection/router. The wifi always shows as connected but the throughput seems to stop. I cant acess any web pages, cant access the router and unable to ping them command prompt as well. After a while it will suddenly start working again albeit the page loads will appear slow at times. Today I decided to try using ethernet as well however I have found this has exactly the same problem. Some of the diagnostics I have tried are as follows: Alternate connection method (ethernet)Alternate broadband connectionManually specifying tcp/ip settingsUpdating drivers (no new drivers found and the ones installed are from 2015), Tried from the HP software, windows update as well as in the device properties.

I have an Acer Aspire 7552G laptop running Windows 7 x64 that is having problems with connecting to the internet.
I started to notice the wireless and LAN connections becoming very weak, web pages would load slower, data would take longer to download, etc. This lasted for a couple weeks. As of now, I cannot get any signal, neither wireless nor LAN.
I normally use Google Chrome but have tried to connect through multiple browsers.
I have tried updating the wireless/ethernet drivers, and I have also tried uninstalling them all together and reinstalling them. Both to no avail. I have no idea how to resolve this issue and am hoping the tech pros here can help me out!
Wireless LAN and LAN vendors are both Broadcom and the drivers can be found here: Acer Support: Downloads & Support Documents - Notebook / Aspire / Aspire 7552G

I'm afraid i don't know anythinge else about your setup.
Is the wireless router connected directly to the Ethernet router? are they combined? what are the brand and product names?
is this DSL, Cable, or Optical Fiber internet?
also, could it be that the other two computers were limited wirelessly to the speed of a WIfI G network, while both the router and the new computer are WiFi n compatible?
Hello I have been having a problem with my ethernet work but wireless not. It basically says acquiring IP address then says limited connectivity. Im using a Dell Vostro 1520 laptop and a dlink router. Thanks for your help.
You have no conflicting wireless managers installed try using only the Windows built in tool
Remove any unneeded wireless networks from your system.
Remove and re add your network back in, ensure all settings are configured correctly. Connect firstly with the cable and note down everything exactly. i.e. SSID, Security type, encryption type, security key.
If it still dosent work look into updating or rolling back the drivers for your wireless card.
(Before i start, i have checked multiple threads on this site about my problem but none atm have seemed to work, im sorry if this topic arrises constantly but i have done a search but my problem still presists.)
My problem has been going on roughly since i aquired the laptop but im sure that it isn't a hardware fault as it is both the ethernet and wireless adapter having problems.
My ethernet will disconnect usually once or twice a day usually an hour after the laptop has been turned on. After that it won't disconnect again.
The wireless internet will disconnect more often and it is random as to when it will happen.
The disconnection happens like this,
Unable to browse the web using any internet browser like firefox or internet explorer
Any online game i play kicks me from the server to a login screen (if the game has one)
However, the laptop still shows a stable connection to the ethernet/wireless. It will show the yellow triangle with an exclamation mark for a second then show a stabe connection.

The question was "If I have an empty ethernet port in my computer, could I configure my 360 to use my wireless internet?" The kid said yes, talked about some tool that is built in on XP and Vista. I missed the tool name, but instantly thought I would love to move my PS2 out of the basement, and into a room where it would actually get played.
So, the computer is connected to the internet through a simple USB wireless internet... stick. I was wondering if I plug my PS2 into the empty ethernet port in the back of my computer, how would I configure it to use the wireless network that is being picked up by the USB wireless card?

I recently purchased an HP Pavillion Elite 441F computer. Upon starting it up, I discovered that although my wireless connection works perfectly, I cannot connect via an ethernet cable. I have tried multiple ethernet cables that I verified the connectivity of using my laptop. When I plug in an ethernet cable, the port shows a green light and an orange light below it. My computer recognizes that an ethernet cord has been plugged in, but shows the over the eternet box on the taskbar. All drivers are up-to-date.
Thoughts? I appreciate any help offered.

I'm using a 2nd computer in the same room to type out this post.
Both the wireless and ethernet are not working on my primary computer.
When plugged in with an ethernet cord, I get a limited connectivity sign,
and when using wireless, it shows that whenever I try to connect, it fails to connect as well as limited connectivity.
Before, it was working fine, but some viruses started to mess around with the internet and registry keys, but I believe I have cleared almost all of the malware, if not all of it.
The last time I was able to connect to the internet was May 20th, I've neglected this computer for a while, and now the antivirus programs (Malwarebytes, Comodo) are out of date.
When I look at the wireless or ethernet connection status, there are 0 packets coming in or out and the ip address it attempts to connect to is 169.254.53.220
I've attempted to reset the modem and router, and set a manual address for it to connect to, but none of that helped.
What more information should I post, and what should be my first step to solving this problem?
Side note: Also, I've finally managed to accrue some money since I have a job now, but I don't remember the moderator that helped me last time, any way I can find out who he/she was? I'd very much like to thank them with a donation.

Hi friends,
i use my laptop mainly with wireless network,
i wonder if there is a setting to disable wireless network auto. when Ethernet cable plugged in (and vice versa)?
*without 3rd party app's
What conflict are you having?
I run my laptop wirelessly most of the time as well but occasionally connect a Ethernet cable and everything works fine.
My old Westell DSL modem died, and Verizon sent me an Actiontec model GT704WG. I have two desktops, both connected to the modem by ethernet cable, and a laptop, which uses the wireless capability of the modem. This worked fine with the old modem (until it died). I connected the cables to the new modem exactly as they were connected to the old modem. I'm now browsing happily on the laptop (i.e., wirelessly), but the desktops cannot connect to the Internet. Strangely, when I go to 192.168.1.1 on one of the desktops, I get the setup page for the old modem rather than for the new one, even though the old modem is now sitting in a box. The status of the lights on the modem is as follows:
power - green
DSL - green
Internet - green
ethernet - not lit (all four of them)
USB - not lit
wireless - green
All computers are running Windows XP, SP-2.
How could wireless be working, but not ethernet? Usually it's the other way around!
Do I, perhaps, have to connect the modem to one of the desktops by USB cable? My understanding is that it's not necessary. If it is, do I need a driver from Verizon? They did not send a CD with the new modem. Is the driver available on the Internet somewhere?
Thank you!!
ethernet - not lit (all four of them)Click to expand...
I take that to mean the ethernet ports are bad (have you tried them all?) or the cables are bad.
This may be the correct user manual: http://business.verizon.net/Help/dsl/Default.aspx?case=c13947
Try the USB port unless your computers are:
"Note: USB LAN port is not supported with Microsoft Windows
NT 4.0, Windows Vista 64-bit, or Mac OS."
That unit is a modem/router combo. The USB port is not to the modem part; it is a special LAN port, so no driver or special software should be needed.
Hi. I cannot connect to my wireless internet, however I can connect when using my ethernet cable. I don't usually have problems connecting to wireless and my other roommates are using the wireless without trouble, so I believe it is my computer. Help! Thanks!
Here is the support and driver downloads site for the Acer Aspire 4720Z laptop/notebook.
I suggest you add and save this site in your browser favorites/bookmarks list so you can readily refer to it when needed.
You may need to reinstall or update the driver for the wireless device.
I have 3 PC's (2 on XP and 1 on ME) and a laptop on XP. I am using a Linksys WRT54G Wireless router. The laptop is wireless. PC's are ethernet. All computers communicate with each other in common workgroup when I use an ethernet cable for the laptop. When I use wireless for the laptop, workgroup communication is lost with other machines. No porblems accessing internet with any machine, whether wired or wireless.

Dear all,
I have read all (i think) homegroup topics here but none solved my problem.
Homegroup is working perfectly when both computer are connected to router by ethernet cable.
As soon as i unplug the cable from computer 1. None of the computer is recognizing the homegroup of the other.
I tried rebooting both computers. Leaving homegroup, rebooting create new homegroup >> nothing helps.
Both computer get internet, can connect to the router, both computer can see and share folders with each other via the the network sharing way.
Both ethernet & wireless connection show up as HOME NETWORK
I have executed the Homegroup troubleshooter on both computers No changes.
Any clues on this?
Many thanks!
I believe homegroup is tied to the network connection. Did you create a homegroup for the wireless network connection?Read other 7 answers
Hi all
Im not compleatly computer illeterate but basically if something goes wrong im buggered!
latest problem is that I was connect to orange broadband (live box) with numerous problems, the main one being that i could only connect using ethernet(?) after numerous phone calls they sent me to 192.168.1.1 or something to that effect and had me change a few things around and hey presto it worked.
problem is I then moved and am now trying to connect to my very unhelpful flatmates O2 wireless box ii. and am back to only being able to use a cable to connect. I tried the previous address that orange gave me but im guessing it only works for them as it wont even display the page now.
i'm pretty sure the problem isnt the O2 box as my flatmate and friends have no problems connecting and i cannot connect to any wireless networks (macdonalds WiFi included lol)
so where do i go from here?

Hi Sssstud,
Please let us know the message you see when you try to establish a wireless connection to the internet. Is your computer able to detect wireless networks? What version of Windows are you using and what is the model and name of the wireless router?
Thanks and regards,

Yesterday, due to an additional guest to our house, I had to up and move all of my possessions into another floor and section of my house. I have only one wireless device, and that is laptop. Other than that, I have
Desktop PC (windows 7)
Xbox 360
and a HP C5100 series printer
that all require an ethernet connection to my router... which is back on the other side of the house. I cannot snake a 60 foot ethernet cord to each of these devices. My router is an Apple Extreme bought less than 6 months ago.
How do I give my network devices internet access from across the house? Is there some wireless hub I can buy that translates wireless internet back through ethernet cords that I can set up over this side of my home?
Any questions for specification please ask. Thanks in advance
PS - If I buy a wireless card for my desktop PC, only a year old, would I be able to use that as a router in and of itself? It has extra ethernet ports on the back, so could I hook up my Xbox 360 to it and get network access for my Xbox or printer? Are there any steps to do that?
Hello and welcome to the forums.
There are many ways of accomplishing this, personally I solved this problem by employing an Ethernet over mains power solution using this; I find that it is almost completely reliable and you can easily stick a 4 port ethernet hub on the other end for all your devices (some of the more expensive versions have a hub built in).
It works by taking your ethernet signal and sending it through your houses power cabling and then receiving that signal at any socket in your house.
There are other options but personally I think this is one of the best.
In answer to your question about your WLAN Card being used as a router then the answer is yes.
You can set it up as an ad hoc network on any version of Windows or if you are running Windows Seven you can use this nice little program called Connectify which accomplishes the same thing but is much more versatile and easier to manage.
I hope this answers your questions.

Our family is so budget-constrained every year, that it has become a family tradition to go on vacation by the grace of God and the help of some good people. However, a trip to Poland (we come from Poland and haven't visited for 8 years straight) was so much out of our scope that it was hard for us to even imagine it as a possibility. Nevertheless, we've been praying for this in earnest for a good number of months. We were also doing our part in terms of being prepared. We even decided to spend our last bit of money in order to renew our passports, so that we would have them ready for summer.
In the spring of 2014 things began to work to our advantage. Our parents, who all live in Poland, missed seeing their grandchildren so much, that they decided to work together and buy us tickets to come and visit. It was a small miracle in and of itself considering how Polish people are – if you knew how they usually get along with one another, you would understand. In the end they came up with a considerable amount of money and transferred it over to our account. After searching all over internet we finally found airfare to Poland that we were able to purchase with the amount we had received. In fact, there was even enough left over in order to pay for three weeks worth of parking at the Newark airport. We ended up not having to pay a single cent out of our own pockets for this trip. Cents we surely did not have!
However, airfare was not the last of our concerns. Although we were able to get to Poland, with literally no budget for vacation, our goal was to spend time at our parent's homes – eating in front of a TV. Was the great Polish food and having our kids spend time with their grandparents really worth it? Indeed, when we informed our old friends that we were coming, they all stepped up to help out. One particular friend, who happens to be a real-estate agent, offered us her apartment that she had just bought in order to rent out. Providentially, no one was living there just yet. Yet, another friend offered us their second car. Little by little our entire three weeks of vacation had been covered and we had some exciting things planned out.
Our itinerary consisted of a 6-hour long stopover in Copenhagen before our final leg to Poznan, Poland. We planned to have a stroll around Copenhagen. A family friend, whom we've never met, picked us up from the airport and showed us around. Even though we were a bit tired after our overnight flight from Newark, we got to see most of what's important. We visited the city center, ate pizza and topped it off with delicious (european) ice cream. Our trip became entirely worth it just on our first day!
We arrived at the Poznan airport that evening – there was a beautiful sunset. After eight years of not visiting our country we were overtaken with nostalgia and joy – we almost wanted to kiss the ground! We spent the night and part of the next day in Poznan, a beautiful city in the heart of western Poland. Then we traveled northward by train to our home city of Szczecin. The landscape we were able to see from the train was so beautiful. We could not fall asleep even though we were all very tired.
Then the difficulty part of our vacation began – going around the city visiting our family; kissing and hugging aunts and uncles that we had not seen for so long. Each home we visited had a table loaded with delicious food. We quickly became spoiled and after a week it became a bit tiring. But boy – what great things people cook in Poland!
Mid-way through our vacation we took a break from "table-visiting". My father, who has a sailing license, rented a boat on the Mazuria lakes for a week. It was a 6-person yacht but we only had room for 5 people in the car, so we made it a men-only trip: my father, myself and our 3 boys. Patricia stayed behind, hoping to avoid all the snoring and odor of dirty socks, etc. I personally believe she just didn't want to become the ship cook.
We took off from Szczecin on a 500km drive around the northern part of Poland. We got to see many important Polish landmarks along the way: the Grand Dune in Łeba; the Malbork castle – the largest brick building in the world; Hitler's war headquarters; and the site of the Grunwald battle, a battle that changed the history in this part of Europe. We arrived late at the Malbork castle, but we were just in time for the night show to begin. We walked for quite a distance from the parking lot to the castle gates and I realized that I had left my wallet in the car. I only had 30 złotys in my pocket, and the all the tickets added up to about 60. Against all odds, I approached the ticket seller and explained the situation. I informed her that by the time I got my wallet and came back, the show would be over. The lady let us in without much hesitation!
Sailing around the lakes of Mazuria was a beautiful time too – we have experienced almost everything that can happen: one day the wind was so strong, we had to fold our sails to avoid capsizing. On another day there was a perfect still – the surface of the lake looked like a flat mirror, and the boys were racing around the boat. Cooking meals on the boat and cleaning up afterwards was a great school of life. We learned that even things as simple as matches or a dish detergent are at times very important! We ate fish, which our boys never touched at home – yes, with fries, but also with sauerkraut – another item they never touched. All three of my boys fell in love with Poland. The greatest mission of this trip had been accomplished.
In the meantime Patricia was visiting two and even three relatives a day. She was exhausted from all the visiting and so we finally decided to spend our remaining time in a more laid-back fashion. We went to visit my cousins that live in a small town by a lake. No sailing this time. We did take some time to canoe and just plain swimming. The lake is actually a border lake between Poland and Germany – we crossed it on a canoe once and landed on the German side, even if for only a couple of minutes. So we actually visited three countries during our trip!
Lastly, we were able to take a walk in a forest. Forests in Poland are mostly public. You are able to pick wild blueberries and mushrooms. Our boys had had it by then and they didn't even want to get out of the car. "Come on, dad. What's so special – it's just a forest! Can we go home now?" However, once they got out, we couldn't get them back into the car! It's so beautiful there, and the blueberries so delicious! Plus, of course there's no poison ivy nor any snakes or dangerous animals.
On our flight back we were surprised again by God's grace and care – for some reason our seats were upgraded from Economy to Plus class. We had wider seats, more leg-room and a better choice of meals. We arrived in Newark in great shape, almost fully rested.
So this is, in short, how God took care of our vacation this year – the year that we had the biggest credit card debt in our history, and absolutely no perspectives for any fun in the summer. It turned out to be the best vacation for our sons!
We received one last surprise this summer: just a few weeks after our return we received a letter from a sister in Community. In hearing of our financial troubles she was able to send us a gift of a check. The check was almost exactly the amount of our outstanding debt, though we had never shared that with anyone! In the end, we had a great vacation and we ended our summer debt-free! Praise be to the Lord who has created us and takes care of us every day!

Rated 3 out of 5 by MissF from Cute shoes but WAY too narrow These shoes are very cute - nice and comfy with a great heal, but I am returning them because they are incredibly narrow - tight at the inside ball of the foot, and narrows further at the toes. Bummed! They do offer a Wide option, but sold out in my size (and ofter a W has my feet swimming in the shoe). If you've got super narrow feet and skinny toes, these would be awesome for you.

In an effort to reach millions of hungry low income people, the government of Malawi has limited the price of maize to 17 kwacha – or about 28 cents per kilogram. Up to three million Malawians face food shortages due to two straight years of poor harvests from flooding and drought.
But the plan to cut the market price of maize by nearly 50 percent for everyone has brought criticism from some donors. They say only about a third of all consumers need the subsidies. The rest, they say, can either afford market prices, or are already receiving free food from non-governmental groups.
Roger Yochelson is the USAID mission director for Malawi. He says there are three categories of consumers in Malawi -- those who can afford to pay the full commercial price of maize, subsistance farmers who have sold off their goats and chickens in an attempt to stave of hunger during last year's food shortages, and those who have some resources left. He says those with no resources at all are being fed for free by relief groups, but it's the last group -- those who still have some resources to sell or trade -- or need the subsidized maize.
The most prominent critics of the across-the-board cuts are five members of Britain's International Development Committee in the British House of Commons. In a letter to Britain's Department for International Development in October, they complained that the World Bank should not have provided an aid package to the Malawi government to help it subsidize maize imports. Under the plan, the Bank is providing a 50 million dollar credit, part of which will go toward buying the subsidized maize. The British MPs said the credit was approved without consulting donors who were working on a targeted – or limited – subsidy. They say the government could have paid for a limited subsidy from its own resources.
The letter says the universal subsidy will cost 50 million dollars -- or five percent of Malawi's gross domestic product -- and add 29 million dollars to Malawi's debt through the loan element of the credit.
Other donors –- including USAID's Roger Yochelson -- are concerned that some traders will buy the lower priced grain and sell it at higher prices when maize again becomes scarce: "What happened last year is folks with money filled up trucks with people who got off the truck half a kilometer from the depot. They stood in line, picked up their one bag of maize, and collected it back to the truck. The owner of the truck went back and sold it."
He said people of influence would also drive up to a distribution site and demand access to the cheap maize: "Some poor little fellow working in rural area in a depot is in no position physically or politically to object and they empty the depot at preferred rates. The maize gets into the country, but it is not being targeted at the people who cannot afford the high prices."
Mr. Yochelson says the targeted subsidy would have been easy to implement. But Malawi's Minister of Agriculture, Aleke Banda, disagrees: " The reason why we are for the generalized subsidy is that the vouchers sound very good on paper but they are very difficult to implement. Sixty percent of our people are very poor –- how do we decide who gets the voucher and who pays the commercial price? In one village, one area, that is the recipe for social tension. That is the major reason why we said no, this will not work. "
Mr. Banda also denies that there are currently any people hoarding grain -– or that there were any attempts at stealing maize last year: "Last year, we brought in 150 thousand metric tons of maize from South Africa and we sold it at a subsidized rate of 17 kwachas. Our [depots] were given instructions not to sell large amounts to people, to try to ration it; secondly, the communities themselves do the policing. If someone turns up with a pick up or lorry to buy maize, they will not allow them. If someone with money would organize young people to buy bits and pieces of maize, the community will find out something is going on. There was no evidence last year of any hoarding of this maize sold at the subsidized price and we thing this year is will be the same."
Meanwhile, the World Bank director for Malawi, Dunstan Wai, says there is a high-level task force that includes the Department of Agriculture and donors who monitor the delivery of food. He says so far, there have been no complaints about hoarding. He says the Bank does not usually support subsidies. But, he says an exception was made because people were dying of hunger.

Howdy! Today I wanted to share with you a couple of items that I purchased on my recent shopping trip. It took blood, sweat, and tears to find these good deals! Just kidding, I just went to an outlet mall in my area. lol (◕‿-)
|Photo I posted on my instagram:vanessajhoy
A overview of the items that I purchased. (。♥‿♥。)
Shorts! I found really good deals at Old Navy. I got a 2 pairs of bermuda shorts, a dark and a regular wash. Bermuda shorts are the longest kind of shorts that hem right above the knee. Then I got 2 pairs of khaki shorts. One in hot pink which is extremely cute! The hem hits an appropriate length. (▰˘◡˘▰)
I got this really nice fitting professional charcoal grey suite jacket. I love how it looks, especially with a pretty blouse. I also got a neon coral bandeau that I can wear under lose fitting shirts and tanks. (≧◡≦)
Levis also had a great sale. I bought a pair of regular wash and light wash jeans. Levis are the only brand jeans that fit me right. I prefer jeans that don't show your crack when you sit down. (◕‿◕✿)
My favorite of the haul are these awesome Nike shirts that were on sale. I love love love love them! They are part of the dry-fit line and I've been going to the gym on a more regular basis so I thought I could buy cuter shirts to sweat in. lol. ( ´∀`)☆
Overall I think I had a very successful shopping trip. I saved a lot of money and also got a lot of essential clothes for summer! ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ
Thanks for Reading! -Vanessa Jhoy

I have been teaching sewing and embroidery classes in the Dallas, Texas area for many years now. As you browse through my catalog of patterns, you will notice that I gravitate towards tote bags and purses. I have been called the Tote Bag Queen once or twice:>) While I love sewing these kinds of pretties, I do write patterns for other things too. My creative juices flow best when I work on quick and easy projects. I like to call them instant gratification projects. Most of my patterns can be created in a few hours and that allows you more time to add your own creative flair to the project.
I love to add embroidery to projects, my motto is "A little embroidery doesn't hurt anything" but I also understand that not everyone has an embroidery machine. I try to include different variations to my pattern samples to show you that you can achieve your own cuteness without using machine embroidery.
What the heck is a Sewnopsis?

The novel begins with the unnamed protagonist writing about his past experiences with a man whom he called "Sensei" ("teacher" in Japanese). During a summer holiday at the beaches of Kamakura, a city near Tokyo, the narrator, then a university student, is left alone when his friend is forced to return home. While aimlessly frequenting the beach alone, he notices and then befriends an enigmatic older man, whom he impulsively calls Sensei. Back in Tokyo, he calls on Sensei, but finds that the man has gone to a nearby cemetery at Zoshigaya and so he follows him. Sensei is uncomfortably surprised to see the narrator, and, refusing to reveal the full significance of the graveyard he visits monthly, only tells him that a friend of his is buried there.
The narrator begins to visit Sensei more often and, his respect and interest in the man growing with each of their conversations, he tries to come to an understanding of him. Though Sensei lives comfortably with a beautiful wife, Shizu, who is the like the ideal of a kind and obedient spouse, he is intensely melancholic and reclusive, and often speaks critically of himself, alluding to what the narrator discerns is a past tragedy while concealing most details. Moreover, despite the strong love that exists between Sensei and his wife, the narrator learns from one occasion when he hears Sensei having an argument with her that Sensei feels she will never completely understand him. One day while walking in a park, Sensei tells the student enigmatically about guilt in love, but refuses to explain further.
Over time, the narrator becomes the most regular guest at Sensei's quiet household, and one evening he stays there alone with Sensei's wife in order to protect her in Sensei's absence. The two begin to talk about Sensei, and the student wonders about the relationship between Sensei's general weariness for the world and his love for his wife. Sensei's wife says she believes Sensei must dislike her too, because she is part of the world he dislikes, but the narrator disagrees and senses that even she does not believe this. Then Sensei's wife, with tears in her eyes, asks the narrator whether he thinks she is to blame for Sensei's unhappiness; the narrator disagrees to this too, which prompts Sensei's wife to recall the incident in Sensei's past after which he changed from an energetic young man to a melancholic: a student friend of his died, and not by natural cause. However, out of modesty, she refuses to elaborate, and the two leave the matter when Sensei returns.
The narrative frame of the entire story is the unnamed narrator writing about his experiences with Sensei an unknown length of time after Sensei's suicide. As such, over the course of the story he makes many references, some more explicit than others, to Sensei's end, and steps back from the story itself to comment on how he had not at the time realized the significance of a certain event or something that Sensei said. This detached, almost critical eye with which the narrator retells his own story, that is to say his memory, becomes very much the viewpoint that the reader takes. Indeed, we wonder along with the narrator in his younger days about this mysterious man Sensei, trying to figure out what his dark past is. In a sense, the book is a mystery novel, and fittingly, it contains something close to a murder.
The novel opens with many important elements that will return over the course of the story, including notable parallels in Sensei's testament. For example, the narrator's friend leaves after receiving word of his mother's sickness (just as the narrator will be called back home due to his father's sickness and Sensei's mother-in-law will fall sick), though at the same time he suspects that they are trying to force him into a marriage (just as Sensei's uncle tried to force him into a marriage) and feels that he is too young because of his modern outlook (such as what the narrator himself holds). Furthermore, many scenes from the narrator's encounter with Sensei at swimming at the beach will be repeated, such as in Sensei's description of his friendship with K. Another interesting detail, that the narrator first noticed Sensei because he was with a Westerner, announces the theme of cultural conflict between East and West early on.
Although the narrator considers himself a thoroughly modern and rational person, he nevertheless is drawn to Sensei by a strong sense of intuition, something from the heart instead of the brain, which is perhaps similar to kind of thinking he attributes to women. Moreover, the narrator makes a point that he does not treat Sensei in a cold intellectual way, just as he later says that he does not consider Sensei a great man in a "intellectual" but a "spiritual" sense. His conversations with Sensei always focus on how one lives a proper life, but rather than drifting into abstract philosophizing, the discussions are invariably rooted in Sensei's personal experiences, although he does not reveal them. From the enigmatic things that Sensei says, the narrator learns life lessons and about the man himself, though very much implicitly. For one, he intuits that Sensei is a man "who was by nature incapable of not loving" (12).
One of the most significant things that Sensei says in his early discussions with the narrator is that "Loneliness is the price we have to pay for being born in this modern age, so full of freedom, independence, and our own egotistical selves" (30). As the rest of the story shows, loneliness is one of the main problems which humanity faces, and it is a problem specifically grounded in the Western modernity which has extended its influence into traditional Japan. Despite the torment that it causes Sensei and the narrator, or perhaps because of that, loneliness serves to draw the two of them to each other. In a word, loneliness is closely associated with the problem of communication and interpersonal understanding, so a mutual recognition of the struggle with understanding others and being understood oneself makes Sensei an interesting teacher to the narrator (certainly more interesting than his university lecturers) and the narrator a worthy audience for Sensei's retelling of his life's anguish.
Though the narrator and likely the readers too do not at first notice it, many of Sensei's words are filled with a heavy foreboding. At times the narrator makes this clearer by his own editorializing, such as when he writes, "The grave stood like some monstrous thing, forever separating us" (32). But when Sensei blurts out that it is because of "divine punishment" that he and his wife will never have children, and the narrator does not comment, the reader may not realize that Sensei is alluding to a past crime that he feels he has committed. Nevertheless, the discussions about his friend's grave at Zoshigaya and unnatural ways to die (suicide and murder) foreshadow Sensei's later revelation.

IRVINE — The poor nurse just thought she was bringing a refreshing dessert — a popsicle — to a new mother. She didn't expect the grandma, shocked, to stop her and intercept the treat.
While refreshing to many, the cold was taboo for Shu-Fen Chen.
After emigrating from Taiwan, Chen gave birth to her first child in a Los Angeles hospital. Her cultural beliefs say a new mother shouldn't touch anything cold for a month after birth, or she will suffer headaches later in life, she says.
Eventually, Chen moved to Irvine, home to one of the largest Chinese American populations in the nation and once home to Irvine Regional Hospital, where she had her second child. There, the nurse knew better.
"So many traditions people cannot believe," said Chen, the executive director of the South Coast Chinese Cultural Assn. in Irvine. "But some nurses just understand our culture."
As Hoag Hospital opens its Irvine campus on Wednesday, replacing Irvine Regional, administrators are hoping they have done enough to understand Irvine residents' cultural beliefs, traditions and language.

When people are asked to think about the 1960s, they automatically think love, peace and...The Beatles.
Over the decade, the Fab Four changed from cheeky pop mop-heads to blissed-out experimentalists, and this transformation mirrored the country as a whole.
This five-part documentary series looks at how the world's most famous pop group personified one of the most explosive and volatile decades of the 20th century. Although the 60s generation had it all, a changing political landscape and changing attitudes to sex and relationships were dragging Britain into a new age.
By the end of the decade, The Beatles had split up, proving that the band's personalities and their music had become true symbols of an iconic decade.

The 60s: The Beatles Decade and we will let you know when it becomes available.

Mumbai: Sitaram Kunte, the newly-appointed Commissioner of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), on Wednesday informed the Adarsh judicial panel that the high-rise had not obtained Coastal Regulation Zone clearance.
The Commissioner today deposed before the two-member inquiry commission set up by Maharashtra government.
He said Adarsh Society had received no CRZ clearance from Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA). The clearance must be obtained before starting the work, he added.
Kunte, a former principal secretary, Planning, rejected the suggestion made by Society`s lawyer Saket Mone that it was not mandatory for the project authority to approach MCZMA for the CRZ sanctions.
Asked about the various permissions given to the Society, the Commissioner put the onus on the Collector`s office.
Responding to the question on how the state revenue department ensures compliance of conditions after government land is allotted, he said: "To the best of my knowledge, it will be the Collector of the district who will be responsible to ensure compliance."
The 31-storey building allegedly stands on Defence Ministry`s land, and has violated several environmental and civic laws.

I have successfully installed my adobe flash player and it still is not working. I get a black screen when trying to view a video on facebook or play online games
A black video window is usually caused by having "hardware acceleration" enabled in the Flash Player settings when your graphics card is not compatible with that setting. This Adobe page explains how to disable that setting in your Flash Player, that should fix the problem:
It would also be helpful to know the age of the system you are using.
Adobe Flash Player 11 requires SSE2 instructions, a CPU processor instruction which does not exist on pre Pentium 4 systems.
See this post I replied to in March, the OP was using Windows 2000 but it is the symptoms and may be the same issue:
