Plutarch was born into a prominent Greek family in the early days of the Roman Empire. He attained a liberal education and spent his early life as a civic leader and educator. He was best known for his biographies of leading figures in antiquity and his essays on ethics and virtue. Plutarch's Parallel Lives and Moralia influenced the writers and intellectuals of Byzantium, Western Europe and America.
"The imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics."
"We ought not to treat living creatures like shoes or household belongings, which when worn with use we throw away."
"The wildest colts make the best horses."
"Do not speak of your happiness to one less fortunate than yourself."
Early Life
Best known for his biographical writings about famous Greek and Roman figures, Plutarch ironically had no main biographer of his own. What is known of him is reconstructed from personal references in his written works.
Plutarch was born in approximately 46 A.D. to a prominent and wealthy Greek family in Chaeronea, a village about 20 miles east of Delphi. The names of his parents are not clear; some historians believe his father's name was Autobulus, while others say Nicarchus. From Plutarch's writings we know he had two brothers, Timon and Lamprais.
From 66 to 67 A.D., Plutarch was educated at the Academy of Athens, studying philosophy, rhetoric, physics and mathematics under the tutelage of the philosopher Ammonius. He married Timoxena and had possibly four sons, two of whom survived childhood. His only known daughter, also named Timoxena, died when she was young, causing grief to both parents.
Civic Leader
In his early adulthood, Plutarch traveled through Greece and many parts of the Roman Empire. He served as chief magistrate for Chaeronea and represented his village on various foreign missions. He also ran a school of philosophy and maintained close links with the Academy of Athens. Beginning in 95 A.D., Plutarch was a priest of Apollo at the Oracle of Delphi, and at some point he became a citizen of Rome.
Writings on Ethics and Human Behavior
Plutarch produced an extensive body of writing while leading an active social and civic life. Of his approximately 227 known works, the most famous are Moralia, also known as Ethica, and Parallel Lives. Moralia is a series of 60 or more essays written in dialogues or diatribes on ethics, religion and the politics of contemporary Greek society. Their literary value is enhanced by the frequent quotations from Greek poems and plays, especially verses of Euripides and other dramatists.
Plutarch's Parallel Lives was written in the last two decades before his death in 125 A.D. Designed to encourage mutual respect for Greek and Roman culture, it is a series of biographies arranged in pairs, highlighting the subjects' common virtues and vices. Plutarch was more concerned with writing biography than history, focusing on the meritorious actions of his subjects as examples of noble behavior and not so much on the times in which they lived.
Plutarch's work was revered during his own time, and in later antiquity it inspired other historians and philosophers. His writings attracted the attention of the Byzantines, who showed no prejudice for their pagan origins. Plutarch's writings were introduced to the 16th century humanists and Renaissance dramatists, such as William Shakespeare, who incorporated parts of his work into their works.

Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli has long maintained that the Fund's long-term investment strategy is designed to maximize returns while controlling risk. Now, that policy is bearing fruit. In May, Comptroller DiNapoli announced that, at the end of the 2012–13 fiscal year, the Fund's assets under management reached $160.7 billion — the highest level since the financial crisis began. In the four years since the financial crisis, we have rebounded, and we are now stronger than ever, said the Comptroller.

Most people who have added Google gadgets to their iGoogle page did so through the Google gadget directory which is located here with a new look and some new functionality. This "face" of the directory allows users to add gadgets to their iGoogle page. Lets look at the new changes. My next post will explain the syndication directory, which is different but for now lets stick with the iGoogle gadget directory.
The layout has completely changed, it integrates better with other Google products in look and feel (top left menu).
The search field has moved from the top center to the right hand side. There are some new reporting features as well, which is great news for developers wanting to know how many people are using their gadgets…
There is a new and much lower threshold for reportable gadget users (the amount of people using the gadget). If your gadget has more than 100 users, you will get an actual number listed (updated every few days). For those you not familiar with what I am talking about, it used to be that you had to wait until 1000 people used your gadget before getting such numbers. An example of this can be seen below using my newer virtual pet gadgets.
These three gadgets (the top three results are mine, nice) all have less than 1000 users, yet now in the new directory I get my actual numbers reported (name, users, amount of comments, and star rating)… but they are no longer showing the "pageview" numbers. Big change.
The directory is only showing 7 gadgets per page now. It used to show 25 per page.
It also lists the name of the developer, and links to other gadgets that developer has created. In the above example I use the name Gadzi, which is a Google gadget directory that I am making.

Fast food workers have been agitating for a raise and some in Congress are pressing to increase the minimum wage. But what would the actual economic impact be of a boost for the Lowest paid workers? Critics have charged that raising the minimum wage would mostly help teenagers, but economists say that is largely a myth. David Cooper with the Economic Policy Institute looked at who would get a bump in pay if the hourly minimum went up to just over ten dollars, as one bill in Congress proposes. He found it would be mostly the working poor, including a large portion of single mothers.
Almost 600,000 Arizonans would see their pay increase if the federal minimum wage went up to $10.10 an hour.

I am re-submitting this review due to the great server disaster of 2003. Originally posted in February, 2003.
My experience with Gore Range is completely different from the other reviewers'.
My wife and I took a road trip in October 2002 and stopped at dozens of brewpubs in California, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona and we found Gore Range to be one of the most welcoming. It seemed that everyone there went out of their way to accomodate us. The bartender was friendly and fairly knowledgable about the beer. Any questions she couldn't answer, she found out for us.
I had the sampler tray that included the very excellent Biker Stout and the hoppy and crisp Powder Day Pale Ale, a six-pack of which made the journey back to California with us. We also left with an armful of swag, including a t-shirt and some labels. A great pit stop between Grand Junction and the Denver area.
One word of advice: go easy on the beer. At 7000 ft, the sampler tray will make even the heartiest beer drinker a bit woozy and buzzed. Bring a sober friend to help you drive.

TORONTO - Well sure. They rounded up the usual suspects. You've got your George (Clooney). Your Brad (Pitt.) Your Jennifer (Aniston). Your Nicole (Kidman). All are expected to be at the Toronto International Film Festival during the course of its 11 days.
Which means the city's hotels will be getting a workout and everyone in Ontario who happens to be in the private security business is likely to be put to work.
But this is not - yet anyway - a State of the Art Toronto Film Festival. That is, the preponderant film festival in our hemisphere.
There's a lot I'm very interested in seeing. And a lot that comes into the festival with a big reputation and BIIIIGGG advance curiosity. But the Buzz, thus far, has been at a very tasteful honeybee volume rather than the dynamic level of German bombs during the World War II blitz of London.
It seems to me they missed the boat on a couple of things. They've got one of the season's huge movies about the Individual vs. The Elements ("Gravity" starring Sandra Bullock as an unmoored astronaut and the elements being a hostile universe - until, that is, George Clooney shows up to help.) But they don't have the other upcoming big deal about the Individual vs. The Elements - "All is Lost" starring Robert Redford, who's rumored to do some of his best work ever as a man alone in a boat on a hostile sea.
They've got a couple of comic folks making directorial debuts in movies - Jason Bateman and Mike Myers. And they've got "August: Osage County," a 400-pound canary as Oscarbait if ever there was one, with a big theatrical pedigree and Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts squaring off as mother and daughter.
But there's nothing yet that virtually commands the mandatory attendance of the world.
Despite all the conspicuous star power, it's a bit reminiscent in its new part of town of older Toronto Film Festivals which were more decorous, more idealistic and less prominent on the world stage of cinematic commerce.
There are a lot of front page movies here with actors portraying Nelson Mandela ("Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom") and Julian Assange ("The Fifth Estate," also starring Dan Stevens, above at the premiere) in much-ballyhooed movies that are giving a lot of the festival the feel of a 24-hour-news network.
But then the whole point of film festivals is to be paying attention to what comes in through the back door - to be lucky enough, for instance, to be there when a good part of a world film community (critics, filmmakers) was squeezed into a tiny screening room with bad air watching Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs." Or when Michael Moore was handing out souvenir lint rollers at the first advance press screening of "Roger and Me." Or when you had to run down Bloor Street at top speed to get to the first screening of a little number by David Lynch called "Blue Velvet" that no one had seen before.
We'll see how big the surprises are in the next few days.
In the meantime, would you believe an utterly charming film about a self-adoring hotshot gym rat who's addicted to pornography and falls in love with a woman similarly addicted to Hollywood celluloid romance"? He's played by Joseph-Gordon Levitt, who wrote, directed and starred in "Don Jon" with Scarlett Johansson and it's the unlikeliest of foul-mouthed and dirty-minded charmers.
Would you believe vampire film starring John Hurt and Christopher Marlowe and Tilda Swinton as a woman married to a Detroit rocker who used to hang out with Byron and Shelley? Me neither. It's called "Only Lovers Left Alive" and it's all-too-evidently by Jim Jarmusch, which is why I walked out after 45 minutes.
More to come.

I miss the Owls.. and Devin Grayson.. maybe even Bruce Jones
The art in this issue however was AMAZING
I miss the Owls.. and Devin Grayson.. maybe even Bruce Jones
The art in this issue however was AMAZING
Was it just me, or for second there did anyone else think that Dick was about to go all Joker Last Laugh on Joker there?
I'm hoping the fear gas made him hallucinate certain things - such as the 'Joker captured everyone and got them back to Amusement Mile'.
Objectively speaking I dont think this issue was bad at all it was quite good and yet I couldn't care less,found it very mediocre(personally).
Overall the Batman family line is easily at it's WORST creatively speaking,almost every single writer wants to hold on to Snyder's jock strap.I'm getting sick of horror,slasher,torture.
If the intention of Death of the Family was to prove that Joker is a proper nemesis then it has failed miserably,this is just non sense on the same level as Prometheus(Cry for Justice).Too many people are pointing out the stupidity of these supposedly brilliant plans.
The Joker has always been one of my top 5 DC villains(others being Darkseid,Deathstroke,Bane,Luthor) and I never really understood why fans kept complaining about him being overexposed but after this I have no intention in reading a Joker story for at the very least a few years,not even a cameo.I have a feeling the same holds true for many others,thank you Snyder.
So, Nightwing's support cast are dead, his dream is destroyed, and the symbol he was trying to build is now burnt down. And all before they did anything interesting.
Why should I care? Why should I care that the Joker has aborted one potential plotline before it started? Why should I care about the next plotline and set of support characters? Why, in short, should I have any reason to keep reading? Except, perhaps, to see which DCU villain punches Dick in the stomach and steals his lunch money before going off to fight someone else.
Well Damian's gonna be in the next issue, so there's that...
This has been a constant patter with this book. Give Grayson a solid status quo only to have it get ripped away.
The Circus angle at least had history behind it.
I wish this book was more Titan franchise linked than Bat franchise linked.
Maybe that would stop this from happening.
I can't agree enough with this. The horror is getting really old.
I can't wait until Tim goes dark, has a ton of girlfriends, sets up a global network of reluctant anti-heroes, goes toe to toe with Shiva, takes out R'as and the League of Assassins, and puts his best friend in the hospital because the kid went all villain... Er... wait... It was Tim last time, I meant Dick.
Dick and the TT didn't and won't happen. Sorry to everyone that was still holding out, but Slade is after Jason, Kory is with Jason, TT was created by Tim, Roy is the master strategist, everyone else that he used to be friends with just got called up to the JL but he didn't, and Damian has become the logical inheritor of the cowl.
Honestly the worst part is that DC seems completely oblivious to what they've done to Dick, and to a lesser extent Tim. I understand they wanted to do something exciting with Jason, but if any of the Robin's was ever meant to be a loner it is Red Hood. I get wanting Cyborg to be more important because he's black, but DC called up Zatanna, Black Lightning, and Vibe to the JL before NW. Kory with anyone but Dick Grayson makes no sense. I no longer have any reason to read about a character that has been a part of DCU longer than most of the DCnU's Original Justice League.
No Vibe, No Movement, No Nightwing, No Teen Titans, No Young Justice Line. It almost makes me wish I liked Red Hood.
Honestly, i don't really care if Nightwings isn't in the Justice League. The continuous taking of things from him, things that worked for Dick and made the character stronger, so that they can try and make it work for the other Robins instead though. That hurts. And the patchwork like Shiva, and plugging her into Dick's origin, rather then say Deathstroke, doesn't substitute what they pillaged. Tim Drake leftovers doesn't do Nightwing any good.
I think its pretty clear that Tim was given Teen Titans, and Jason Titans. They just aren't calling it Titans. Kind of a shame that they couldn't think of creating those characters their own thing, but what are u gonna do. DC wants to keep um relevant, even if they got to hollow out Dick to do it.
Don't think the horror is gonna stick too much longer though. Not with Booth coming on.

Unfortuantely this sounds exactly like what I'm reading through yours and others comments. It seems they've gutted or mixed all the elements of the characters into each other making 'Robin stew' I don't recognize Tim, or Dick, or Kory, or any of the heroes I grew up with.
*sigh* I'll always have my trades.
Don't think he could do horror, even if they wanted him too.
Oh it has been a 'Robin stew', with red seasoning. They keep carelessly and unnecessarily blurring the lines between them, and they are all now less distant and more interchangeable then ever. Even to the point where they all wear red, even the one without red in his name. Its pretty frustrating.

So the ENTIRE circus staff are now dead? Gawd, that's way worse than just the roller rink of dead victims over in Batgirl's title. And FYI to DC, I'm freakin' SICK of all this death and gore already! Heroes are supposed to SAVE the victims, not be helpless to help others, they may as well not even be super heroes then. I swear, more and more the bat-clan are coming across as simply helpless characters in a series of slasher flicks. DC the HERO is supposed to be the STAR of a SUPER HERO comic, NOT the psychotic serial killer villian in all his gory detail.
Yup, Dick is getting screwed over in terms of having aspects of character narratively cannibalized the same way Babs had happen to her before the New 52 came to being. It seems for every major DC reboot now one of the original bat-family members has to get stripped for proverbial parts, IMO.
Pull list:
Batgirl, Justice League Beyond 2.0, Letter 44, She-Hulk, Swamp Thing
Amazing Spider-Man, Inhuman, Ultimate FF
I'm trying, I'm really trying to give the new 52 a chance and accept it. However, Superman, Nightwing, and Wally West were my favorite DC characters. As you can imagine they pretty much gutted everything I ever liked. Superman isn't ass bad, but he's in limbo right now writing wise. I can't understand the writing and decisions DC is making here. Hell the Young Justice continuity would have been 20 times better s a new 52 reboot. And it would've managed to keep nearly all the characters the same and yet different enough to invigorate the lines. At least Nightwing is treated probably as are ALL the other characters.
I like swords.

A man is dead after a stabbing in Providence on Dorrance Street Tuesday evening.
18-year-old Diamond Wilson Wooten has been arrested and charged with murder after stabbing a man around 9:30 p.m on Tuesday. Wooten was found by police with minor stab wounds to his side and back. He at the intersection of Dorrance and West Minster Street.
According to police, 18-year-old Charlie Otero was stabbed in front of McCormick & Schmick's Restaurant. Otero managed to stagger into the restaurant and ask for help before collapsing. He described the assailant to the police and identified him as Diamond. Otero was transported to Rhode Island Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
Police say the stabbing was part of an ongoing disagreement between the two who ran into each other at Kennedy Plaza.
This marks the second murder in the capital city this year.

Partner Profile Ten Ten Mass is one of the premiere condominium buidings in downtown Washington, DC. By joining the EPA Green Power Partnership, the building is expanding its premium living experience to include environmental sustainability. The building is getting a portion of its energy needs through renewable energy sources. This renewable energy use is allowing the buidling to also save money. Consequently, this led the Board of Directors to look for other green projects in the building to cut costs. They upgraded more than 400 lightbulbs in the building to more efficient LED and fluorescent varieties and are saving a few thousand dollars a year while reducing electricity usage. "Switching to green power at 1010 Mass has proven a cost effective way for our community to invest in ourselves and our community. Not only are we realizing cost savings and helping the environment, but prospective buyers are taking notice of our building's green attributes," said Greg Taylor, 1010 Mass's Vice President. XX. |

First off, this is a pre-built Mode Machines x0xb0x. I wish I'd looked some things up before getting one.
On accented notes it sounds like the filter envelope cuts short (as it should be, I think) but I never get the "wow" sound. Turning the accent knob up I think has a very subtle effect on the cutoff frequency -- the attack and decay are both still very short, nothing like what a 303 sounds like in my experience. Any accented not just turns into a short percussive pop (makes for nice toms!).
The effect on amplitude of turning the accent knob all the way up on seems fine, though. The accented notes are definitely louder.
I don't have access to any measurement tools for a couple of days. I just wanted to throw this out there in case it's a common problem with a simple solution. I'll make a recording of it tomorrow, though.

I am so grateful for having participated in the first ASH Advocacy Leadership Institute. The ALI educational and training activities helped me to appreciate and actively engage in advocacy for our patients and our research especially in our current political climate. With drug shortages, cuts to research funding, and the imminent changes in reimbursement, ASH's ALI was what helped me to understand that our voices need to be heard. It is truly because of the ALI that I have the skills and confidence to express my voice. Through the institute I learned that advocating for our patients is what truly drives changes on a population level and is the vehicle to improve value-based care for our patients and continue our research endeavors to improve health.
The ALI training and education invigorated me to pursue my passion for advocacy in a field of medicine that so desperately needs it! Since October, I have been back to Washington, DC twice, sent letters to my congressmen, and met with my community leaders to advocate for regulation of drug shortages, NIH funding, and stem-cell research. Because of the ALI, I have also become more active in ASH and am now a participant on some of ASH's standing subcommittees.
Perhaps the most surprising and welcoming aspect of the ALI was not only the milestone I reached to direct my future endeavors but also the life-long friendships I made as well as the collaborations with like-minded individuals on research and other advocacy projects. The ALI was truly one of the most influential experiences in my early career and I am grateful for ASH's dedication to this area. I give my thanks to ASH's commitment and dedication to helping practitioners understand and actively participate in advocacy. This is a skill that our traditional medical education does not teach and therefore, I thank you ASH and the ALI, for helping me to better understand and appreciate advocacy on an individual, community, and societal level.

Say what you want, but you would have a hard time convincing me that Bryan County is not built on small business owners. They are the backbone of this community's economy. These are people we know, live next door to, participate in civic actives with and hopefully support when our needs match with their products and services.
In the old days, if you worked for a company, your retirement income would likely have been in the form of a pension, with the amount based on your income level and years of service. Apart from those factors, you had little control over the size of your pension benefits. That pension model is still around, but it's not as prevalent as it once was.
Right now, it is little more than a small sales trailer right off of Hwy 144 east of I-95. However, Tidewater Real Estate, LLC plans to turn it into the commercial condominium development, Camellia Street Village. Those plans are very close to becoming reality.
If you make a New Year's resolution, and you don't follow through on it, what are the consequences? It all depends. If you vow to learn French, but you never get past "Oui, mademoiselle," your life will probably go on pretty much as before (unless, of course, you're now living in France). But if you make some financial resolutions, and you abandon them, you could fall short of your long-term goals - such as a comfortable retirement.
If you believe everything you hear, every homeowner is facing foreclosure, sellers have to give their houses away and buyers can't find a mortgage company that isn't too scared to underwrite a new loan. If you listen to some tell it, all of our houses are worth about 10 bucks. If buyers wait a little longer and look a little harder, they can probably find one just like it for about five.
Gary Dodd and Gary Stanberry have announced the grand opening of a new McDonald's in Richmond Hill.
I know you can't tell it by the weather, but it is almost Christmas. Parades, a chili cook off and sales have announced it. That last one is my favorite. I absolutely love a great sale. Sales at Christmas time are the best because there is so much shopping to do.
Now that the holidays are here, you're probably looking around for the right gifts for your loved ones. Of course, as you know, it's not always easy to find gifts that are both meaningful and useful. This year, why not add financial gifts to your shopping list?
River Oaks residents Janet and Dell Keith enjoyed the opportunity to mingle with visitors at the community's recent grand opening celebration. The new gated community is located on the banks of the Ogeechee River in Richmond Hill, recently hosted the event, which attracted nearly 200 visitors. As a one-time promotion, guests who bought villas at River Oaks during the grand opening event received a sports boat valued at $25,000 or $25,000 towards the purchase of a new villa. "We were delighted to showcase the incredible waterfront lifestyle at River Oaks," said Sue Onofrio, the community's director ...
My family is made of local people. My husband and I both grew up around here. When we left for my naval transfer, it didn't take long before we were ready to come back. Bryan County was growing before we left. It was booming when we got back. We are in awe of our community on a regular basis. We have lunches at the local restaurants - some are home grown, others are franchises. We drive five minutes for groceries, medical care, picture framing, designer shoes, formal gowns, spa treatments, hair dressers, and physical fitness. The drive to Savannah happens ...
When you buy a bond, it's yours until you sell it or it matures, right? Not always. Sometimes, the bond issuer can buy it back early. If that happens, your investment strategies can change - so you'll want to be prepared to take action.
Now that the turkey is finished and most of the leftovers are gone, we can sit back and reflect on just how much food we ate. On our table, there were just as many desserts as there were meal choices - and none of it was particularly healthy. So now that the waistbands on everybody's pants are fitting a little snugger, and it is bound to get worse come Christmas, what better time to start thinking about all the fitness options available in Richmond Hill.
Ideally, our children should learn good behavior from us. But when it comes to living within our means, and saving and investing for the future, we're not setting such a good example. Consider the following:
Another business has popped up in Richmond Hill. A ribbon cutting ceremony for Bargain Bucks, a discount store located at the intersection of Hwy. 17 and Harris Trail Road, took place on Oct. 2. The store is owned by the mother and daughter team of Elaine Myers and her daughter Tanya Cole and features a variety of party supplies, holiday items, toys, cleaning supplies and household goods at 40 percent below regular retail. Cole is banking on the fact that the store has 99 cent blown mylar balloons to be a draw to the new business. Pictured are (from left ...
Monday, Gov. Sonny Perdue announced that Portuguese manufacturer EFACEC Group plans to build its first U.S. plant in Effingham County, creating 600 jobs and $100 million in investment.
If you have children, you're keenly aware that it's getting close to back-to-school time. Today, that might mean you need to go shopping for notebooks and pencils. But in the future, when "back to school" means "off to college," your expenditures are likely to be significantly greater. Will you be financially prepared for that day?

and your reflection, my mistress, lurks in the same windows
fnf...i read your post the other day about not needing all the detail and what kind of man u were married to, i actually read it several times because it really has a powerful message, at least for me. i am one of those people who needs every detail, i feel if he is at least willing to put himself on the line, come completely clean it will be a start to him finally being honest with me which he never was, and trust has to start somewhere, even with the smallest of details it says i am sharing all that i am, all that i WAS, and i acknowledge everything there is that i've done to hurt you...as dr. phil says "you can't change what you do not acknowledge", so if its not acknowledged how can u believe it will change......
as for my situtation, my wh is still trickle truthing...that ons started 7 days prior to d-day and was not a ons.....it turned out to be someone he loaned money to and she used sex to get more and he happily accepted and of course took some money off of what she has to pay back, he continued contact til the day after xmas.....after d-day which was 12/19 they even exchanged merry xmas texts, he claims its because she owes him alot of money and its "all abou the money", he now has someone else collecting the rest of the money from her, which is being paid off in small installments, so she will exist in his mind for the next 6 months, i guess the sex was good enough to grant her such nice terms and money off to boot.....
tonite i have ic with a new person, the other counselor was for mc and is now his ic. i tried for the 2nd time to take a different antidepressent, it gave insomnia and panic attacks...go figure....i am much better off without anything, except for the occasional 1/2 of xanax...found out that the med is a dui....so i need to be careful when i take it...
((((((HUGS))))) to all, it seems that we all except for weepy are not having a good week, i only hope its a week, i think we all deserve a break.....
CALGON TAKE ME AWAY!!! for those who are old enough to remember.....lol
and anyone else who is doing well...yay for you,praying it stays that way and praying the rest of us can find the same peace...
The ADs, some do make the symptoms worse before they get better. Im not sure why that should be, but it is common while your serotonin levels are being adjusted artificially. Ive not taken them, but a friend of mine said it lasted a couple of weeks and they took a month to kick in and make her feel more normal. FWH said that for a few weeks the effect in the few hours after taking was that he felt he was being physically dragged down, which he tried to go with because fighting it just made him slightly panicky. He only took them for 6mths and I think he took them more for me than himself. Try diff ones until you have the one right for you.
UKG - It almost seems that he wanted to tell you about his A with this line.
But I mostly see those kind of lines and references to his affair(s?) as him being a selfish, boorish, arrogant bastard who was shoving this affair in my face but I still didnt see it. Its as mean and unnecessarily nasty as someone who sticks their leg out for a blind person to trip over for some sort of sick entertainment.
Have you ever felt the need to toss these letters into the fire?
Does it matter if he has had another affair? Or more? Not really. I told him that I wouldnt fall apart if he told me he had, he could only destroy me once. And although I got quite emotional over those few days, I didnt have a meltdown. I didnt even rant. I just kept saying I didnt believe him. And I dont. Were at a standoff. He says he hasnt had another affair, I say everything points to that not being true. Neither of us can prove anything. Ive just said that one day the truth will out and he shrugs.
Apart from the trust being lost, the love morphing into sadness, the wondering why we stay, I wonder if anything can be done to believe in him again. When he had shared, said, written and promised so much to MOW, when he willingly gave himself to her and enjoyed her intellectually, physically, and passionately and cast me and his family aside, what is there left to believe in? I read truthsetmefrees post on reconciling the head and heart and can relate to where she is. I find myself several steps removed, keeping one foot pointing toward the door and a hand on the handle. Its not healthy, is it? I guess I should try to invest in myself first. Or maybe I should just accept that lifes a gamble anyway, so what the heck.
UKG - This is so true for me too. I have been thinking of posting something similar to this lately but I can't seem to put into words what it is I want to say. I'll give it a try. Before d-day there were moments when I would be filled with love and gratitude and overall happiness and so thankful for my H, my family and my life. I would get those warm and fuzzy feelings when I thought of my H and would be filled with such emotion and gratitude and felt like one of the luckiest people on earth. It is one of the things that I miss above all others now. I have found lately that on rare occasion I start to feel the beginning of these emotions creeping in and instead of allowing them to "overtake" me, I immediately shut them down for fear that it will only be more painful if I allow myself to believe that life is good only to get hurt again. Every time this feeling tries to enter into my psyche and I push it away, I am left with such sadness because I WANT TO FEEL THIS WAY AGAIN, but am so damn scared to let myself believe. I think this is where my funk is coming from lately. Knowing that once, not so long ago, I felt loved, I loved, and I thought I was one of the luckiest people on earth and now that belief is gone. Now, all that is left, is my need to survive, make the best of this ugly situation, and pray my H never again breaks my heart.
[This message edited by forgivenotforget at 8:39 AM, March 11th (Wednesday)]
You have been dealing with quite an emotional battering the past week. I cant think of anything that would make you feel better, so I am sending you a big hug instead.
**** Ukg, I was hoping by now that he would have come clean.
On the offchance that he is telling the truth, that there is noone else apart from her, where does it leave you then?
Do you think you can see him as a very broken man who did some awful awful things, who went against EVERYTHING he stood for, saw the light after dday, is now trying to get out of the darkness to stand in the light next to you?
What would he have to do to prove this? Or is it still your gut feeling that there is more and that you can not move forward until you know for sure?
If only he could prove it either way....
**** I had my EMDR session and another layer was peeled. I am just so in awe with this process. Anyway, it came out that I hated my H for a long long time. But I buried it and "hid" behind my good W and M role. It also came out that I am full of shame. Now this is what IC says and we dont know what exactly thats about. So kinda frightening digging in my head...but I am determined to do this.
Something else that came out that I am still pondering.
I went through a really bad time betw 1998 and 2003. And not once did I ever contemplate S. It never occured to me to be an option. Isnt it then strange that after dday that I did act on S. And that even now, when I have so much going well for me, that I still fight these thoughts.
Dday#1 02.06.06 Dday#2 28.11.06
Mind what you love. Mind how you are loved.
LH, another correlation to our situation. I lost both my mother and my father within a year of each other. I hated my job, but was working 50+ hours a week, helping H with his failing business, gaining weight like it was my mission in life. I felt like crap, and we weren't having sex. And yet, S never crossed my mind.
Why after Dday? Because now we know how little we mattered to the most important person in our life. We HAD that to fall back on. We didn't want that person to suffer or to lose even the tiniest bit of companionship or love they were showing us. We SETTLED for so much then and didn't even know it.
I think Dday was a huge "wake up" (even though false) for us about how little we mattered in this world and that's why S became an option. I think we are all still struggling with that on some level which is why the thought creeps up. Still happens to me and I'm on meds!
Try not. Do or do not, there is no try. -- Yoda
It also came out that I am full of shame.
LH2, I had this realization a few weeks ago talking to my mom. I was so ashamed to be married to a man who cheated on me. I want my mom to honestly LIKE my H and she never will again.
I am ashamed that I allowed myself to put up with so much over so many years and was deluded into thinking that it was for "us" instead of being used like a mule.
I am ashamed that I was such a poor judge of character that I didn't see what my H was.
I am ashamed that I am still here. That I didn't kick his ass halfway to China and remove all parental rights.
I am ashamed for my children - that they know what he did and they have to live with that..
and on. and on. and on.
I guess this is another stage in the process but it hurts.
would get those warm and fuzzy feelings when I thought of my H and would be filled with such emotion and gratitude and felt like one of the luckiest people on earth.
It is so sad when that love and pride is killed off. I, too, believe I will never feel it again. Maybe I don't want to feel it. But, pride!, really!! how could we ever feel proud of them again knowing what they did.
Apart from the trust being lost, the love morphing into sadness, the wondering why we stay, I wonder if anything can be done to believe in him again.
Right there with you hon.
ALL THINGS WILL PASS.....THEY ALWAYS DO....sometimes they are replaced with happy times, and sometimes not, but they pass.....time can be our enemy as well as our friend....i have had alot of really big things in my life to cope with, and they all pass......some are bigger then others, and then i see what others sometimes have to endure, life is unfortunately full of tragedies.....but it is also filled with possiblities...and u need to LIVE for the possiblities.....
it seems that most of us on this forum are in alot of pain....all seemingly at the same time......and this too shall pass.....we must have faith, if not in GOD than in ourselves...we are all we got, each of us is precious, special and blessed. even though it is someimtes hard to see the blessings, we all have them, COUNT them daily and use them to get to the next point, minute, hour, day or whatever goal u set...but set those goals...
i'm sorry to be on such a soapbox.......side effect of living with suicide by someone i love....
Because now we know how little we mattered to the most important person in our life
Weepy, thats where its gets confusing for me. You see, if I can see now how much I hated, maybe even loathed him then, then why should it have mattered how I felt about him after dday? The thing is, he was never the most important person in my life. Maybe when we were courting and just after we married. When I had my first (unknown) dday some months after we M'd which led me to go into preterm labour,and he said that he could not chose between their "friendship" and me(WTF was wrong with me to accept that??!!), a part my love for him died and continued to shrivel as the years went and he grew more and more abusive.
Yes, I put him on a pedastal...but I hated him.That so doesnt make sense. So if anything, dday should have sent me straight to the lawyers, instead of straight onto my knees. So (this is me trying to work through this) am I here out of pride? Out of some warped sense of loyalty. Or am, like my IC often points out, a huge self flagellator?
And then what confuses me more, is that now I can openly feel my feelings (hate, contempt, anger), so how the heck, did the loving feelings creep in there too?
LH2, I was so ashamed to be married to a man who cheated on me.
Shirley, I can identify with what you said, but IC thinks the shame goes way back before dday. I just dont know what it is I am supposed to be looking for. She said it will come when I am ready. Argh!
And Shirley, Working to keep your family together; trying to forgive someone who has hurt you deeply; showing your girls that people can change and that sometimes life is just not perfect but we will love and live anyway...Sweetie, there is nothing to be ashamed in that. Your girls are learning huge lessons in humility, love, compassion, family, redemption and all that other good stuff, which will help shape their already beautiful characters.
want my mom to honestly LIKE my H and she never will again.
I am so sorry for your loss.
My grandfather commited S when my mum was 9, and that act set into effect consequences which are still felt 2 generations on.
My internal battle with S has gotten better...and I am winning. I am able to talk myself through it. I hang on. However, it is a struggle and will be difficult for someone who hasnt experienced this, to understand the feelings of hopelessness and utter desolation I feel when the abyss sucks me in.
But I am heaps better than I was a year ago and oneday I know I will be walking in the sun ALL the time!
By the way, My Tribe, it has been 1 year since I became a working woman. I cant believe it. The oldies might remember how nervous and excited I was last year this time to be working after 12 years of being a SAHM. And you were all there to hold my hand as I took those first steps into the real world, tottering on my high heels, makeup and "work clothes".
Thank you all so much.
LostH, sweetie, do take care of yourself. Get the kids and your H to take care of the mundane for the next few days. Just while everything settles down a bit. Tell me, is an EMDR session included in your IC or is this something on its own? A kind of specialist therapy? As to whether or not FWH is telling the truth, I guess he could be. But when he has lied and minimised and omitted and given me the well, yes thats true, but . crap from day one, how can I believe him? He twists everything to suit the scene HE wants to put to me. Hes still doing it now. Initially, I was kind of okay, I can go with that but not anymore.
Feeling ashamed: LostH, the shame you felt is due to feeling inadequate. And I think you can lay the blame for that at the feet of your parents and of your Hs family. You dont need to feel shame, you are a wonderful person just as you are and if they cant see it, thats their problem. They just want to control you, thats all.
I dont feel ashamed right now. I feel degraded and humiliated, but thats something I can say has been inflicted on me. Shame comes from within. Im extraordinarily sad for what my H has done to me and this family and to himself, but I didnt make his choices, so why should I feel ashamed? Im sad that he has made me brittle, suspicious and guarded instead of generous, warm and open. Hes the only one who should be experiencing emotion of shame.
And I agree with weepy on the suicidal thoughts. Before the dday, before your world was completely trashed, there was a reason for you to be here and you had a value. Then you see (or think you do) that your H had no regard for you, your children or your m. Your self esteem plummets to the lowest level and you wonder what on earth this life is supposed to be about. Your spouse was on this pedestal and you were being walked over and taken for granted. I never thought about no, actually, I did. I drove like a lunatic waiting to lose control at 100+mph. Up to 120 on the m/way, willing the crash barrier to slice through the car. It wouldnt have been suicide, it would have been an accident, although H would have known the reason behind my reckless behaviour. But mostly, it was just not wanting to ever wake up again.
Thanks for your post, miracle. We all have this crap to deal with caused by others selfishness, but we should never forget that there are friends and family who do love us and there is hope on the horizon however bad things get. And for me, in the beginning, it was just getting through each hour of each day for my boys if no one else.
Tell me, is an EMDR session included in your IC or is this something on its own?
My IC is a trained to practice EMDR. In fact, one of the reasons she impressed me in our interview...her experience with working with trauma.
Whilst other therapists offer it separately (and you have to pay extra), she does it as part and parcel of our process.
I do know it takes alot out of her emotionally and physically, so its not an everyday thing. In our last session, she "felt" alot of emotions, primarily shame, and she had alot of pains in her tummy as well. I dont know if this is a regular thing for them (EMDR therapists) to feel, but there it was. She kept asking me if my tummy was fine and it was. At the end, she said that I am going to get some bad pains in my tummy (cos thats where I have been holding my feelings all this time)and not to worry. I went, "Riiiiiggghhhht." :eyes (with a small part of me determined to prove her wrong! ). Guess who was scrambling for painkillers last night?
Has anyone else had EMDR? Does your therapist "feel" your emotions as well?
So I am on Gramma duty and will check in when I can.
CONGRATS lostsuol.
((HUGS)) Tribe members that need 'em.
D-day 3/4/08 Whole "truth" from OW 3/12/08 Ow#1, 6 months PA Ow#2, 2 years PA & EA
"It takes 3 seconds to say "I love you", 3 hours to explain it, & a lifetime to prove it".
WN28. Wow, youve made some major steps lately. I guess it helps that your H was never emotionally gone and has always said it was about the sex fact was he really didnt care about the OWs, did he? Just convenient for him. And sad for them. Hes been transparent and told you everything and been fully prepared to work on your M 100%. So you are now walking out from the dark and into the sunlight. And that must feel so good. (((((WN28)))))
LostH, how would I know if I would benefit from EMDR? I cannot recall any significant stuff from my childhood, adolescence or adulthood that is maybe keeping me in this pit. Ive been out of therapy since my surgery, so maybe thats what is missing for me at the moment. Ill give her a ring and make an appt. And ask what she knows about EMDR. If I could find some way of removing the negativity and triggers and stop reacting to the triggers, finding a way of boxing up the old M and looking for a new relationship with my H, perhaps I could breathe and move on. BTW, UKg2s a holistic therapist and she says that with some clients she can feel their pain for some time afterwards and some clients can be draining, leaving her tired.
I feel I have spent my M giving too much and trying too hard. It wasnt enough, H went off and had his affair(s) and I think that if I do that again, he will go back to taking me for granted. I was a doormat and he just walked all over me. I feel I have to change and change the essential person that is me. I cant do that. And I think I was quite a nice person. I always thought well of people, always had others interests at heart, always willing to do a favour, drop everything if H needed me to do something, etc. Now I think Im just being used. I guess what Im trying to say is I dont think I am the right person for my H to be with. Maybe hes not the right person for me either. We just share a lot of history and have created four children.
I think the major damage has been done by his emotional involvement with MOW. The way he felt about her for the best part of four and a half years is heartbreaking. There is no doubt he was very much in love with her, but ultimately he was unable to live with that intensity. He has even said she held a special place in his life. But to write it all down for me to read and find tells me he wanted me to know just how important she was, how she will always be a part of him.
Im rambling down Pity Lane again. Better get on with the day. Thanks WN28, Ill take some hugs to keep me going.

A Morgan County man was killed Saturday morning when a pickup truck hit him.
According to a witness on the scene, the 60-year-old Walter Ham of Trinity was riding a bicycle on East Upper River Road just east of Priceville. He was struck by a pickup truck driven by 84-year-old Rufus Nix just before 8:30 a.m.
Witnesses said the force of the collision threw Ham at least 80 feet. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Nix was uninjured.
The driver claimed not to have seen the cyclist, who was wearing brightly-colored clothing.
Alabama State Troopers are investigating the incident. No charges have been filed yet.

If ever there were a good candidate for a "too much accessibility" award, the FIELDSET LEGEND element would surely take some beating. Yes yes, I know, if you don't have a LEGEND on your FIELDSET, some automated accessibility checkers will throw it up as an error. Well, my answer to that is, they don't have to listen to them! By this, I don't mean that LEGEND should never be used, but like everything else in the accessibility toolbox, it's not what you use, but how you use it. The right way is to choose LEGEND text that is:
LEGENDS that fail any of the above are likely to cause confusion, headaches or even a fit of the screaming abdabs, in screen reader users. The reason is, and read this twice, it's important: LEGEND text isn't read at the start of the FIELDSET, it is read at the start of the label. It repeats at the beginning of every single text label in that FIELDSET. Let's just examine those important rules again, and see what can happen if they're ignored:
If not concise: it can take an inordinate length of time to get to the question in the label, and there's no way to skip straight to it. Believe it or not, I've seen LEGEND text that was 48 words long. This repeated at the start of all 30 questions in that particular FIELDSET. This made the form impossible to complete, because attention switches off after a certain amount of repetition, and then the label itself gets overlooked.
To avoid all of the problems described here, all you need to do is one thing. Once the form is finished, read aloud the chosen LEGEND and each text label in its FIELDSET, as a single sentence. If it doesn't make perfect sense, think again.

Gary Hides said: I see your point and agree that if the LEGEND is read out before each LABEL, that would be really annoying and cause you to switch off etc. But, I don't think the problem here is with the web designers who use the LEGEND tag in such a way as you have described. It would seem to me that the screen reader is wrong to read out the elements in such a way. The W3C quite clearly state that the FIELDSET tag is for grouping sets of form elements together. Therefore, I would take the LEGEND as a description for the set of elements contained within the FIELDSET, not as a prefix to any LABEL elements contained in the FIELDSET. Do all screen readers work in this way? I'd be quite interested to know. Because if this is how the W3C intended the LEGEND tag to be used, then obviously a lot of web designers are thinking quite differently. If on the other hand the screen reader makers have got it wrong then it needs bringing to their attention and rectifying. This is certainly something we're going to have to look out for in future though. Information like this is great for us web developers who don't use screen readers on a day-today basis and therefore don't really know how all of the tags are read out.
Posted at: 30/7/2010 4:05 PM by Dave Wailing
Bim said: Hi Gary, Thanks for the kind comment. I don't see that the W3c intention and the JAWS screen reader implementation are necessarily at odds; JAWS has a "duty" to keep users informed that they are in the same group, and this is one way of achieving it. I don't know about other screen reader behaviour when encountering the LEGEND element, perhaps other screen reader users could let us know. Alternatively, if anyone can suggest a better way of prompting screen reader users in a less repetitive manner, that would be useful too. I have to say though, that when the LEGEND is concise, relevant and seemless, it really is a help. Keeping focussed, especially in long forms is a bit of a challenge if you cant just glance up the page a bit to remind yourself which group you're in.
Posted at: 30/7/2010 4:06 PM by Dave Wailing
Philipppe said: Hi Bim, Thank you for focusing our attention to the FIELDSET LEGEND. It is so easy to forget to test every tag and to just look at the bigger picture. I will definetely pay more attention to LEGEND from now on. I had clearly assumed that the FIELDSET LEGEND would behave like a TABLE LEGEND that is: as a synthetic text to be read only once and certainly not before every piece of data.
Posted at: 30/7/2010 4:07 PM by Dave Wailing
Bim said: A fair assumption. I suppose the reason it doesn't is to avoid the potential nead to navigate away from the current field to get a reminder of the context. This is probably reasonable, as there can be so many form controls in a FIELDSET, getting back to the right question may be time-consuming and missing out on any is likely to invalidate the form.
Gary Hides said: Hi Bim, I will definitely be making sure where we use the LEGEND tag in future, we try and make it as seamless and helpful as possible. However, I do still think the screen reader technology could be altered slightly to let the user know where they are without being so repetitive, such as reading out: "Start of Your details ...the fields for Your details fieldset here End of your details" With hundreds of articles on the web about accessible forms, many people will come to form the impression that I and Phillipe did. And with a slight change in the way JAWS keeps the user informed of their position in a form, the annoyance factor could be dropped signifcantly. Also, what about when you have a FIELDSET within a FIELDSET? How does the screen reader act then? Does it just read out the immediate LEGEND, or all of the parent LEGENDS? We're going to be visiting the Shaw Trust in Wales soon, to see the accessibility user testing in action for ourselves. This will obviously gives us a much better idea of how the assistive technology works, rather than just guessing from what others have written. Thanks again for the info.
Posted at: 30/7/2010 4:09 PM by Dave Wailing
Bim said: Thanks for being so positive about it. Every little helps! :) Don't know what would happen with nested FIELDSETS, I'll do a test and feed back results. I do take your point about having screen readers announce just the start and end, but think there would need to be a mechanism for a reminder, without moving from the current field. Along the lines of the prompt for header row and column information, which JAWS users can get from anywhere within a data table. Still never want to listen to another 48 word LEGEND though. :)
Posted at: 30/7/2010 4:10 PM by Dave Wailing
patrick h. lauke said: in essence, isn't the problem here shoddy user agent / assistive technology, rather than a problem with the idea of legends themselves? could be an interesting thing to bring to the attention of screen reader developers. p.s.: tabbing order on this comment form is screwy, as with most out of the box wordpress installs...
Posted at: 30/7/2010 4:11 PM by Dave Wailing
Bim said: Bit of a catch-up to do. First a quick response to Patrick's post, then I'll give you the news on nested FIELDSETS and the behaviour of a screen reader other than JAWS. It might be a bit harsh using the term sloppy implementation, when the aim is to give sufficient support for a wide range of needs Patrick. The LEGEND reading can be switched off using the verbocity settings, but for those people who need the prompts, excessively long LEGEND is a bind. There is a case for having a 'halfway house' where the LEGEND is read just once though. You're right, there is no problem with the idea of LEGENDS themselves. They're great. Just as long as there aren't essays within the LEGEND tags. To answer Gary's question, when FIELDSETS are nested one inside another, only the LEGEND of the immediate containing FIELDSET is read aloud. I've had an answer to the "other screen reader behaviour" question, from a SupaNova user. It does the same as JAWS, reading the LEGEND at each form field.
Gary Hides said: Thanks Bim, I think we have a much clearer understanding of what is happening at the LEGEND/LABEL stage of a form now.
Posted at: 30/7/2010 4:13 PM by Dave Wailing
Tim said: Thanks, I thought I was sort of there with a simple accessible form but I was not sure why before you explained it to me, thanks: Does having a "tabindex" help form navigation when using JAWS or any other text reader? I could only get "tabindex" to work in Netscape, Mozilla and Firefox ignores them on Mac OSX http://www.hereticpress.com/Dogstar/Publishing/ContactHP.html#skipnav thanks Tim
Posted at: 30/7/2010 4:14 PM by Dave Wailing
Yecril said: What the screen reader really should do is to read the legend once at the beginning and read it on demand in the middle.
Posted at: 30/7/2010 4:15 PM by Dave Wailing
Bim said: That's a very good point. You would have thought that this should be possible, it's similar to what happens in tables. Users don't have to listen to headers on every cell they land on, they can query for it when they want it.
J.Sexton said: Very good point, I will contact Dolphin to see if anyone has previously requested such a feature. Like you said, its already available for tables so why not forms? I'll post their response back here.

kuppu said: can we able to do fieldset for a single row containing more elements
Posted at: 30/7/2010 4:17 PM by Dave Wailing
Phil Teare said: Would you rather AT only read it once? Is there a good reason for it not to only read it once? (If you've said so above, sorry, I'm writing this in a hurry and haven't got my AT to read it al for me...) Great practical advice though! Thanks Bim.
Posted at: 30/7/2010 4:18 PM by Dave Wailing
Tom said: I totally agree with you about what a legend should contain. However, I think it becomes problemmatic when we try to code for screen readers. Instead, when we code to accross-the-board standards, we might encourage screen reader developers to adjust their products to a set of standards.
Posted at: 30/7/2010 4:19 PM by Dave Wailing
Bim said: Phil, I think that AT should do what it does now, which is repeat the LEGEND at each form control that it relates to, or at least be capable of doing so. This behaviour helps people keep track of where they are in a form. It would also be nice if there was a verbosity setting to change this to read, perhaps in a different tone, just at the first form control covered by a LEGEND, for people who find it difficult to tolerate the repetition. The different tone would then inform users when they reached a different group of form controls, covered by a different LEGEND. What's your own view?
Posted at: 30/7/2010 4:20 PM by Dave Wailing
Posted at: 30/7/2010 4:21 PM by Dave Wailing
Bim said: Tom, we're in accord on that, if there were a standard length of words to use in a LEGEND, screen readers and their users would have a much better chance of dealing with them appropriately, and web authors would have some chance of getting it right. Do you think any body would be prepared to decide what the standard should be, and do you have a view on how many words a LEGEND should have as a maximum?
Posted at: 30/7/2010 4:22 PM by Dave Wailing
litsa said: I read this article before creating a form, and I found that breaking the form up into more fieldsets made the legend-label pairs read more nicely together. However, a fieldset full of checkboxes and a label for each could never read well! I wonder if there is any value in still grouping all of the checkboxes into a fieldset, but just putting a space in the legend? When the fieldset/legend container treatment is working so well for a form, it seems a shame to have just one section use a different container type (ie, divs).

Jive customers average a 15% increase in workforce productivity. You can, too.
Current Version: Winter Release
Jive leverages multiple layers of defense to protect key information and handle all critical facets of network and application security, including authentication, authorization and assurance. Our ISMS (Information Security Management System) is a structured approach that has management support all the way up to our board of directors. Our program systematically evaluates our information security risks, taking into account the impact of company threats and vulnerabilities. Adherence to the ISO 27001 standard, regular third-party audits and close attention to customer input and industry trends help ensure that our security programs keep pace with a changing security landscape and meet evolving customer requirements.
Jive's security architecture is designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of all customer information that we host. To that end, we apply stringent, risk-adjusted security controls in layers ranging from facilities (physical security) to network infrastructure (network security), IT systems (system/host security) and information and applications (application security). Jive has the following security controls:
- Secure data centers - Jive maintains top-tier data centers with strong security controls, confirmed by third-party reports (SSAE16 or ISO27001).
- Logical isolation - Jive completely isolates its customer systems using VMs and VLANs. This allows data separation from OSI layer 2 (Data Link Layer). Customer traffic is routed directly to their instances to prevent any shared traffic.
- Security monitoring - All of our networks and systems are constantly being monitored by leading security tools.
- Best-in-class hardware - Jive uses the best hardware in the industry to ensure high availability.
- Strict access controls (both system and network) - Jive enforces strict access control on all its systems. We perform regular internal audits and use automated tools to verify desired configurations.
- Everything is audited (internally and by 3rd parties) - Includes strong third-party auditing from EY in the form of our SOC2.
- Strict ingress and egress points - Access to the application is restricted to ports 80/443. Jive administration is limited to a small group of Jive workers using a secure 2-factor VPN to access customer environments. All activity is logged.
- Hardened operating systems - All operating systems are customer-configured with only required services and are configured to meet strict security requirements. Strong encryption is used from the client to our systems.
- Separated services (web, database and storage) - All services are isolated and not shared, minimizing the risk of unintended data disclosure.
Virtualization capabilities at the server, storage and network layers ensure strict separation of customer instances and prevent any information leakage. Our virtualized security starts at layer 2 of the OSI model, the lowest-level protection after the physical separation. All our customers are protected using strict Access Control Lists (ACLs) that completely isolate each customer.
Jive utilizes a highly available and redundant network security architecture. The logical protection includes firewalls and best-of-breed intrusion detection systems that monitor the network for sophisticated exploits ranging from network-based attacks to complex application layer attacks. Jive requires its data centers to utilize strong physical security controls to protect network appliances from unauthorized access. In addition to the physical security controls, our environments have redundant network connections to ensure high availability.
We also use DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) detection to alert our security team in the event of a potential attack. Finally, Jive uses best-in-class scanning tools to alert the security team to network misconfigurations and new vulnerabilities.
All of our security controls and risk analysis are based on the protection of customer data. Jive hosting supports various encryption methods to protect data transiting over untrusted networks. Customers can choose to implement SSL or VPN technology to add a layer of protection to their hosted site. Encryption has also been implemented for both transit and storage of offsite backups in the remote data center facilities.
In addition to encryption, Jive's customer data security controls include:
- Restricted access to customer data - Jive employee access to customer data is highly restricted and must be approved by senior management. Before access is granted, employees must complete special security training to handle customer data.
- Logging and audit - All activity is logged in a protected system and is audited using automated tools.
- Incident and response - Jive has an incident response process designed to handle customer data incidents.
- Training - All Jive employees are required to participate in security training. Employees with access to customer data are required to take additional security training.
Third-party certifications are an important component of any mature security program. We have a number of respected third-party agencies certify our security and share the results with our customers. These certifications include:
- Jive Hosting is SOC2 certified.
- Data center facilities are SSAE 16 SOC1 (previously SAS-70) or ISO27001 certified.
- Safe Harbor and Truste certified.
Jive's Security team includes certified Information Security professionals with expertise in application, network and architecture security who help define our security policies and security controls. Most of the Jive security team is composed of professionals with graduate-level security degrees, 15+ years industry experience and security certifications such as CISSP, CISA and MSIA.
Security is continuously improved and tested throughout the Jive product lifecycle. All new feature designs are audited for high-level security considerations, and feature implementations are checked for security flaws throughout development. Existing features are audited for security vulnerability regressions, and application-wide audits are performed to ensure that feature integration is secure. Third-party components used by Jive are researched and monitored carefully for vulnerabilities. Jive has a security QA team focused on security testing, using both manual and automated testing.
Jive maintains secure programming best practice documents based on OWASP requirements, which are mandatory reading for all of our developers. Best practice documents are updated on a regular basis to reflect current vulnerability knowledge, and also provide developers with real-world examples of previous programming mistakes and how to avoid them. Topics covered include input/output data sanitation, proper usage of authentication and authorization, avoiding information disclosure and secure file system (and other resource) usage. Jive invites industry recognized security experts to present best practices to our development team on a regular basis.
Jive engages a third-party tester to perform a comprehensive review of our product. These tests include:
- Black and white box testing
- Source code security reviews
- Methodology based on OWASP and NIST standards
- Full penetration tests
Security Assessment Policy
Jive's release readiness workflow includes continuous security tests and assessments. Many manual and automated security tests are conducted at milestones leading up to public release. Security vulnerabilities discovered during these tests are then reviewed for criticality and remedied prior to release. This ensures that every release is deemed fully secure out of the gate.
Managing Vulnerabilities
Jive maintains accurate records of discovered vulnerabilities and their remediations. Critical vulnerabilities are fixed within one business week, and customers are notified of critical vulnerabilities. Customers are free to install the security patches in an on-premise instance, and the hosting team is available to apply security patches per customer requests. Jive leverages US-CERT alerts, open source and internal testing to identify potential vulnerabilities. Remediation efforts are determined by the risk level calculated by the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS).
Product Security Features
The Jive platform has a number of built-in features for configuring security at a level appropriate to your organization. Our Professional Services team is also available to perform customizations if the out-of-the-box options don't meet your security requirements.
Jive utilizes best-in-class security tools to monitor our environment, such as:
- Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)
- Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS ) Detection
- Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)
- Regular application security scans using multiple products
Jive strives to maintain excellent uptime for our customers. Below are our actual uptime metrics for the last 8 months, consistently exceeding our customer SLAs.

Sprint raises ETF to $350; a sign of new devices?
Sprint has joined AT&T and Verizon Wireless in increasing its early termination fees (ETFs) for advanced devices. Sprint used to charge a $200 ETF for those who skip out on their contracts early; now it's $350. However, it will be prorated depending on how many months left you have in the contract.
Verizon Wireless increased its ETF for advanced devices to a prorated $350 in November 2009, and AT&T increased it to a prorated $325 in June 2010. Advanced devices includes smartphones, tablets, laptops, and Netbooks. T-Mobile is currently the only carrier that has not … Read more
