It could be an issue of updating the iOS 6 thru wifi connection.Many people just do the upgrading direct from their device using wifi connection which could result in glitches or files incomplete. After they revert to factory setting thru USB cable connection to a pc or laptop with LAN connection or direct modem connection and using iTunes it works fine. Hope others too.

From all the information gathered to date there are three ways you can resolve this issue:
1. Take your phone to an Apple Store, and have it replaced with a new device that doesn't exhibit this issue.
2. Wait for Apple to release an update to iOS 6 which fixes this software bug. Keep in mind they've known of the issue for 3.5 months now so don't hold your breath for this one.
3. Revert to iOS 5.x and remain there until Apple implements the fix in (2) above.
I went down the first path - my local Apple Store identified the issue and replaced my phone with a new one in less than 5 minutes.
If you can't get to an Apple Store then options 2 or 3 are your only choices.

I downloaded the iOS 6 update last Wednesday along with my wife. That's when all of my phone's problems began. My iPhone 4s was really only functioning properly for calls and texts. I spent over 6 hours within a few days on the phone with Apple. They absolutely tried there best to help solve the problems we had with our phones but could not. I finally decided to go to the Sprint Store and they could not fix it either. They sent me out two refurbished phones that still had 5.1.1 on them. My new phone is working great and I will not be upgrading until all of these glitches are fixed with the iOS 6 update.

I managed to fix my greyed out WiFi.
Upon upgrading my 4S to iOS6 (through iTunes 10.7.0.21) my WiFi was greyed out. I went to the Apple store and they replaced my phone. They also updated the new phone to iOS6 and WiFi worked (at this time my phone was set up as a new phone). At home I attempted syncing through iTunes to restore my data (10.7.0.21 iTunes on the windows XP PC) and WiFi was greyed out again while my data did not restore. So, I installed iTunes on another computer (running windows 7), synced and re-seted network settings. This worked, WiFi came back and my data was restored. I didn't have back up files for my phone on the laptop and I'm guessing that my data was restored earlier but wasn't visible. I'm not exactly sure why this worked and if installing iTunes on another computer helped.

Let me start by saying I'm not an Apple fanboy, I do buy Apple stuff but I use and buy other brands as well. I live about four hours away from the nearest anything that resembles an Apple store. So after I became pretty frustrated with trying to fix my disabled WiFi I ended up doing the following...
I logged on to the Apples' support site, filled in a form and then sent my iPhone to them.
Sunday - I logged the job on their site and printed a label with a barcode
Monday - Took it to the local post office and they scanned the bar code, supplied the packaging, they packed it up and sent it away.
Thursday - Yesterday I received an e-mail from Apple saying it arrived there and I would hear from them when they had looked at it.
Friday - Today I received an E-mail saying that they had sent me a "new" phone. (I checked the serial number from the e-mail and it looks like it is a new phone, "Cool")
It is an inconvenience not having my iPhone but as far as logging a warrantee job, it was pretty painless and I think a lot of companies could learn a lot from them.
As far as problems go I don't think I could ask for anything better then that. I choose to live in the middle of nowhere and for a company of that size to manage a problem so fast and streamlined was pretty amazing.
Going off some of the other posts people have made on this site my experience seems to be the same as most of the others. If you really can't put up with the problem and wait for a software fix I recommend you contact Apple direct as they seem to deal very well that way.

For the time being, seems like the only solution is to get a replacement phone.
I called Apple Support and went through all the troubleshooting and fix attempts that have been outlined in this thread and others. When nothing works, I was offered a replacement phone to be shipped out to me directly. I'm happy to report that I have the new phone (4S 32gb) and it is working great with WiFi and iOS6. I did have to set up as a new phone, so I have to replace everything and start from scratch.
Retiring from this thread. Call Apple!
Good luck...

I did all the possible ways that could have fixed the problem. I fixed it but in less than 24 hours, the wifi button was greyed out again.
Replacing the phone? What about people like me who bought iphone not directly from an apple store but from a legit mobile store. How are we suppose to get a replacement for our phone?
By the way I'm referring here in the Philippines. :(
I hope they release the latest ios real soon!!!

I own an iphone 4s and i got the same wifi problem. It's greyed out after upgrading to ios 6. I need solutions from apple!! I mean how can someone use an iPhone without wifi :| did all the resets too. I live in Sri Lanka and theres no apple stores or apple authorised stores. Help!!!

I'm from the Philippines too, and bought my 4s from a legit store. A technician from earlier informed us that this is a hardware problem (without even checking the phone) I just can't believe him, he can't even look me in the eye.
Some techs are already using and abusing this issue to get rich lol, seriously, there are a lot of 4s users here in the Ph. Though not everyone is having the same problem doesn't mean that the rest (including me) should be ignored, we need assistance STAT.
We also paid full for this device, so I guess it's just fair to provide us good service.

After reading this thread for 5 days, secretly hoping that Apple would have rolled out a fix, I took the common approach and went to an Apple store.
Appointment was booked online with Genius Bar. The tech went through the usual hoops, resets etc.
He did one thing that I was not aware of, that's called a DFU reset, which entails pressing the home and off/on button (you can google this).
That did manage to enable the WiFi toggle and the antenna seemed to work, but did so in a flaky way, so the Apple Store happily replaced it with a new 4S at 5.1.1. (Wifi signal was not consistant, then Off/On then nothing, then back on again)
Will try to upgrade to 6 this weekend. Apple tech said if the same problem recurs, just bring it back.
Just an FYI out there to all who are going through WiFi withdrawl :-)

I have had this same issue, among others and it is very, very frustrating. I am not sure if these posts are read by anyone from Apple, but if they are shame on you! I have purchased six iphones along with Ipads for my school district. The customer support that I have received is not acceptable from Apple and I can't see how it would be much longer before the media gets ahold of this and runs with it. Maybe that is what it will take, but the first step is to admit there is a problem. I just had to laugh when the customer service rep I spoke with told me that my problem was the first he had heard of with the new software. It is all over the internet and blogs. I don't understand how some phones have issues and others do not. There has to be some corelation somewhere with the serial numbers, or something. Very, very disappointing especially when the nearest Apple store from me is over two hours so basically I'm out of luck until hopefully something is done.

Went to the Apple Store and they replaced it, no problem.
I was one of two grayed out phones that were there.

Hi! jnkadoodles, i'm from the philippines (Laguna) too, i also bought my 4s(wifi disabled/greyed out) from a legit store here in the phils..i'm participating on other thread discussions, RE: WIFI DISABLED, a lot of them just solved there problem by swapping there phone to a new one from apple store. i'ved already talk to apple genius & told me to swap it to any apple store as long as the phone still on warranty with them, bcoz it's a hardware issue & they can't solve it for now. I'm planning to send my fone to my friend in australia but i still have to wait for the update, hoping that it will fix the wifi greyed out..

All my lights are on and it's not completely dark. I have the ride of way. A car pulled up to a stop sign out of a subdivision. Then proceeded as she hit me. I land on her hood and she keeps going. Looking as a tempt to run over my preciouse bike. But her b!tch car was to low and my bike was too light. She asked if I was alright as I was saying, "what the ****?" I told her I was fine & she kept insisting if I was alright. She was a kid & probably goes to the school I work at. I told her, "You know I have the right of way?" She says yeah(lying) saying "I just didn't see you." Well no sh*t she went 10! feet with me on the hood trying to drag my bike up & keep from rolling onto the windsheild and possibly further. The fat chick never lock up. It was like she was turning into a parking spot. If I were to hit something I would lock up so as to prevent further damage.
A couple apparently turned around to see if I was ok. The lady asked if I needed a ride and said they seen the whole thing. The gentlemen said, "You had the right of way. I do some biking of my own" Something of that nature. I said I was fine, just need to get my chain back on correctly. Thanked them profusely ofcourse.
I had to turn around and get my blinkie. It was a foot from the curb and was more of a miracle it didn't get ran over. It was more likely since it was jolted off/open. The rest of the damage was my bar end, pedal, & seat are scraped up. The seat IS already needing TO BE replaced.
I was more pissed off last night in my car when two kids pulled out infront of me on a four lane highway with no cars around. I hung out my head & arm out at the next light. Cursing them out. Calling them morons. I'm real brave in my car I know.
Thought I'd share my adventure...good times.

Artist: Retribution Gospel Choir
RGC will play the Crocodile on April 7.
Album: 2
Label: Sub Pop
Release date: January 26
Rating (Skip, Stream, or Buy): Skip
Download Watch:"The Reason"
Remember Hoobastank? They were early-2000s mainstream rock at its finest - lots of soaring power chords with lots of unnecessary oomph, vocals just dripping with pathos and urgency? That sort of heavy alt-rock by way of Nickelback went out of style a few years ago. But hangers on, we have good news: Retribution Gospel Choir's sophomore record, 2 is Hoobastank's best record yet. It's full of huge and obvious builds to monotonous choruses and rhythms, too-frequent and too-noisy cymbal crashes - it's even got such emphatic lyrics as, "We sing of salvation/ We sing what we must/ Cuz one man's treasure/ Is another man's lust." As for you doubters, dissenters, and indie snobs - yes, two members of Low are also in this band. And no, RGC's 2 has none of the subtlety and nuance that makes Low such a refreshing band.

Fireplace cited in condo complex fire
Wednesday, April 24, 2013
The state fire marshal has confirmed the beliefs of Osage Beach fire officials that a fire that damaged a Lake of the Ozarks condominium complex this past weekend started in the fireplace of one of the second-floor units.
On Tuesday, Osage Beach Fire Protection District Chief Jeff Dorhauer released a statement from the fire marshal who worked with insurance investigators on their findings in the fire at Lakewood Condominiums.
"The investigation found that new propane gas log sets in the fireplace boxes had been set to close to combustible material," the statement read. "The subsequent lighting of the fireplace by the occupants in unit 401 caused the combustible material to heat to its ignition temperature."
A damage estimate still is being determined.
Minor smoke and exterior siding damage was sustained to buildings on either side of building 400.
No one was injured.

TAMPA, Fla. — Andy Pettitte had finished 55 1/2 minutes of apologies Monday, explaining why he used human growth hormone and why he said what he did about Roger Clemens.
Derek Jeter walked over, and the captain wrapped his arms around the visibly relieved Pettitte.
Following an offseason of turmoil, Pettitte was welcomed back to the New York Yankees with open arms.
Whether Pettitte can repair his relationship with Clemens remains to be seen. They haven't spoken in more than a month, since Pettitte corroborated allegations of drug use against the seven-time Cy Young Award winner.
"Obviously it's put a strain, I think, on our friendship," Pettitte said. "I love him like a brother.
Clemens at Congress
- A copy of Roger Clemens' full statement to Congress (.pdf).
- A look at what Brian McNamee said to the committee (.pdf).
- Read the transcript of Clemens' testimony (.pdf).
- Find a list of links to all the testimony before the Congressional committee.
- Video of Clemens as he faces heat from Congress about steroids.
- More video: And what does Clemens say about Andy Petttitte's accusations?
On the day he reported to spring training, Pettitte faced reporters for the first time since the Mitchell report was released in December that revealed accusations he had used HGH.
"I felt like I need to come out, be forward with this," Pettitte said. "Whatever circumstances or repercussions come with it, I'll take, and I'll take it like a man and I'll try to do my job."
Brian McNamee, the former personal trainer to Pettitte and Clemens, said in the Mitchell report Pettitte used HGH in 2002 while with the Yankees. Two days after the report was released Dec. 13, Pettitte issued a statement through his agent confirming McNamee's account and saying that was the only time he used HGH.
In a deposition and an affidavit to a congressional committee two weeks ago, Pettitte said he injected himself with HGH for one day in 2004 while with the Astros after obtaining two syringes from his father. Pettitte said there were no other times he used performance-enhancing drugs.
"That's it. There are no other surprises out there," he said.

text: 000 FXUS63 KEAX 270927 AFDEAX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 427 AM CDT WED APR 27 2016 .Discussion... Issued at 427 AM CDT WED APR 27 2016 Overnight convection has weakened in the predawn hours after the airmass has stabilized substantially. Moderate to heavy rain will continue through the early morning as the line of storms makes steady progress to the east. Water vapor imagery shows the upper low positioned across southwest Kansas as of Wednesday morning. This will continue to spin to the northeast and center over southeast Nebraska by the mid afternoon. Storms generated overnight will begin to lift into northeast Missouri through the mid to late morning and the majority of this activity should clear the area by the early afternoon. Cloud cover should then begin to clear enough to destabilize by the mid afternoon ahead of the attendant cold front of the surface low stacked underneath the upper low across southeast Nebraska. Areas most favorable for convection early on include northern Missouri and areas west of the I-35 corridor. If modest instability does develop as expected, bulk shear values of plus 40 kts will once again support strong to severe storms through the afternoon. While the environment will not be as conducive for widespread severe weather as Tuesday, large hail and damaging winds are possible. The other concern is the potential for flash flooding with the significant rainfall totals from Tuesday. Areas south of the Kansas City metro should be influenced by a dry slot working its way to the northeast ahead of the cold front. By the late afternoon, the cold front will sweep across western Missouri with convection along the frontal boundary possible for areas north of the Kansas City metro. This activity will continue through much of the evening hours before finally lifting into north Missouri after midnight. Rain- cooled air and existing cloud clover should keep afternoon highs on Wednesday in the upper 60s for areas north of I-70 with temperatures approaching the mid 70s for points south. Will see a break in the activity beginning Thursday with mid level ridging expected to develop ahead of another deepening trough over the southwestern CONUS. A cooler air mass will advect into the region behind the cold front Wednesday, with slightly cooler than normal temperatures persisting through the late week and into the weekend, particularly for northern Missouri. The aforementioned southwestern low will then swing northeast into the Central Plains by Friday, bringing about the next chance for thunderstorms by Friday afternoon/evening. Saturday looks to be the most active as a surface warm front lifts into the region. At this time, cannot rule out the potential for severe weather, though the more likely area remains to the south. The active pattern will then continue into next week with numerous features entering the area.

Steven here…
Roger Gorley is not allowed to see his husband. This is because Missouri is one of the states that does not recognize the marriage rights of same-sex couples.
A Lee's Summit man is fighting a restraining order that he says was issued against him after he says he was arrested for refusing to leave the bedside of his sick partner. Roger Gorley went to visit his partner, Allen at Research Medical Center, 2316 E. Meyer Blvd., Tuesday afternoon. He says when he got there, a member of Allen's family asked him to leave. When Gorley refused, he says hospital security forcibly removed him from the property and put him in handcuffs. "I was not recognized as being the husband, I wasn't recognized as being the partner," Gorley said.
To all of the bigots out there:
This is the end result of the laws you push for. Because of these discriminatory laws, and the harmful attitudes that you have cultivated in society, this can still happen. This is your fault. You may not have been the one to put the cuffs on him or to call the police, but you are allowing this to happen.
Most of the anti-gay activists I've met fail to grasp why any of this matters to gay people and their loved ones. They think we should just be happy that we aren't one of the countries that will (legally)kill you for being gay. Bullshit.
If someone dragged you away from your spouse in chains, you would not stand for it.
If you were beaten for who you love, you would not be silent.
If you had to deal with people trivializing your relationship with the person you've chosen to spend your life with you would be angry.
If you had to watch as the GOP tried to make it illegal for you to have sex with your partner, you would raise holy hell.
This is not just a difference of opinion. This is not something where we can agree to disagree, or respect your religious beliefs. This is about doing the right thing. If you do not come to embrace equality as so many others before you have, how will you explain robbing people of the same rights that you claim to cherish?
The good news for everyone else is that gay people are going to get the right to marry. Maybe not this month, or this year, but the hard work is paying off. The icing on the cake for those of us fighting your bigotry is that your children and grandchildren will be utterly perplexed about your opposition to civil rights. When you insist that your Bible commands you to hate gay people, we will watch as more and more people are pushed away from that wretched book and the laughable excuse for morality it extols. Or you could just treat gay people like human beings, that's always an option too.
I write a lot of jokes. Some of them are in this book.
I also host the podcast of the Skepchick events team, Some Assembly Required, and cohost the WWJTD Podcast.

November 18th, 2010
If someone built a wine bar in my heart, it'd be Terroir. In their two Manhattan locations, as well as at their sister restaurant Hearth (home of Next Iron Chef contender Marco Canora), general manager, sommelier and proud son of Canada Paul Grieco and his merry band of oenophiles enact a sort of grape-based activism, bringing under-drunk, often challenging wines to the fore.
As the Hearth website notes, "The list is meant to be confrontational as the majority of wines are not well known. But have no fear, we are here to guide you and educate you – without the intimidation factor."
Amen to that. Some of the most exquisite and unpretentious melding of food and booze I've ever had has been at the hands of Grieco and Co. - including, 4 1/2 years ago, a Sherry-centric dinner that paired courses with many permutations of the fortified Spanish wine. That dinner has flitted across my mind lately, so I reached out to the team via e-mail.
Then Paul Grieco emerged from his vat of 1985 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia to offer guidance...and digressions.
Now, suitably mad for Madeira, let us turn our attention to Beaujolais Nouveau - a red wine aged from Gamay grapes and released, to great pomp, on the third Thursday of each November. Our Terroiristes regard it as, per French wine critic François Mauss says, "vin de merde" and quipped on Twitter, ""Has Beaujolais Nouveau fever hit you yet?" No, luckily innoculated with Morgon as precaution against that dread malady."
As Stickermeister mentioned, they've a stated preference for "real Beaujolais" and explain extensively on their winelist at Terroir:
Happiness. C'est arrivé.

Catholic Charities Pulls out of Adoptions; Boston Move Sparks Fears of Trend
Byline: Cheryl Wetzstein, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
The recent decision by Catholic Charities of the Boston Archdiocese to stop offering adoption services to avoid placing children with homosexuals is reverberating through child welfare circles and sparking fears that other Catholic Charities agencies may follow suit.
"Everyone's still reeling from the decision," Marylou Sudders, executive director of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (MSPCC), said yesterday.
"Ultimately, the only losers are the kids," said Maureen Flatley, a Boston adoption consultant and lobbyist. If other Catholic Charities agencies withdraw from public adoption, "you can't even begin to talk about what the impact of that will be nationwide," she said.
On Friday, leaders of the Boston Catholic Charities said they would not be renewing their nearly 20-year-old contract with the Massachusetts Department of Social Services (DSS) to provide adoption services, citing state law that says homosexuals must be allowed to adopt.
The Vatican under Pope Benedict XVI has called homosexual adoption "gravely immoral," in part because it deprives children of "the experience of either fatherhood or motherhood."
Recently, Massachusetts' Catholic bishops said Catholic agencies may not provide adoptions to same-sex couples. An attempt by Catholic Charities to obtain an exemption from state law failed in February.
"We have encountered a dilemma we cannot resolve," the Rev. J. Bryan Hehir, president of the Boston Catholic Charities, and Jeffrey Kaneb, chairman of the agency's board of trustees, said in their statement announcing the discontinuation of adoption services. …

Minute for Mission
"God gives me power and motivates me to be part of Dsenyo and improve my life."—Catherine Manzi, Dsenyo partner, Malawi
Dsenyo is a fair-trade enterprise creating sustainable livelihoods for communities in Malawi. Since 2009, we have partnered directly with artisans to develop and distribute handcrafted products. In a country where 51 percent live below the national poverty line, our partnerships create much-needed employment for the most vulnerable members of society, including women, widows, refugees, and people who are HIV positive.
In October 2013, we conducted an innovative social-impact survey to better understand how our work affects the livelihoods of women. The survey gave us insight into the daily realities faced by our partners.
We learned that our economic impact has a ripple effect through families, providing women with income to purchase better food, fund children's education, and improve their homes. Many told us that earnings from Dsenyo have even allowed them to start their own business ventures.
This survey also allowed women a safe space to have their voices heard. To hear the women openly sharing about their lives was inspiring. At Malawi's Dzaleka refugee camp in particular, artisans were eager to participate. Sharing stories is an important part of maintaining respectful relationships.
Please pray for Dsenyo's partner artisan groups, a total of about 85 women in Malawi.
—Marissa Perry Saints, Dsenyo founder, Malawi
Let us join in prayer for:
PC(USA) Agencies' Staff
Suzi Gwinn, PILP
Nicole Gwynn, BOP
Let us pray
Dear Lord, thank you for the hardworking women of Malawi; for their spirit of joy and perseverance, of faith and gratitude. May we find inspiration in them. We pray that this world would be a more just and equitable place for all. Give us the courage to make changes in our own lives toward this end. Amen.

It's really difficult to understand what the hell is going on in the trailer for the Irish clown-based slasher comedy Stitches, but the fact that there's an Irish clown-based slasher comedy is pretty awesome. If the movie is able to strike the weird tonal balance seen here, it'll be a winner.
In some moments, it looks like a serious revenge film where a Bad Santa style children's party clown comes back from the dead to cut up some drunken revelers. In others, Stitches is trying to chase people while riding a tricycle built for someone 1/4th his size.
Comedy gets blood all over it, and everyone wins. Check out the trailer for yourself:
Stitches hits limited theaters on (of course) April 1st, followed by DVD and Blu-ray the next day.

I have a kid in size 6, one in 5, and a soon to be newborn.
up and up diapers
I have a kid in size 6, one in 5, and a soon to be newborn.
Overall, I've really liked the up&up diapers.
We use 'em. I like them as far as leakage and such, but I think they're ugly. I got over it because the price is so pretty though.
in love with LWP
Mama to JLP (3/05), RRP (2/07), SWP (7/09), EHP(8/12) and CJP (6/15)
For the price though, I would say its worth it to give them a shot again. I know I tried more than once. If my dude wasn't in cloth I would probaby try again when he is older.
We use them...a little less fluff than the huggies, pampers, etc but they are good.
A friend of ours is a manager at a Target and he said they are just the rejects from the papers and huggies. something like the velcro tab could be a cm off and they will get rejected...and that's where Target gets them.
Not sure if it's true or not...but intriguing...if it's true...glad they are being recycled to our benefit bc I couldn't imagine the waste otherwise.
I normally really like Target brand items, but I'm not a fan of the diapers. The fit seems fine, but for some reason, I can smell pee through them like crazy. I will still use them in a pinch, but they are not my favorite.
Momma to twin boys Michael (6) & Thomas (6), sweetie pie Juliana (4), and our new little pumpkin Eleanor (11/13)
Not for newborns, though. When my son started eating solids I started buying target brand. Till then Pampers.
Hyper hippo Born June 2011.
Feisty hippo Born April 2013.
We use them sometimes and they are a little bit stiff and papery, but they do work well. We don't usually have leaks with them.

"Flying Fish has been around for 15 years. It was originally opened by chef Christine Keff in 1995, in the middle of Belltown back when the area was a busy and popular but not quite so busy or so popular--or quite so jammed up with hat-boy bars and last-call survivors wandering up and down 1st Avenue horking Jager into the gutters. For 15 years, it offered a dependable spot for seafood in a city that never really lacked places for seafood, but managed to rise above much of the competition by focusing almost completely on seafood, and playing up the World Food/Fusion angle back before that was such a completely overdone gimmick.
Recently, Keff--who has had a remarkable career, stretching from New York City to the Pacific Northwest, including stints at the Four Seasons, the Hunt Club, at McCormick and Schmick's as their executive chef, and standing up before the Manhattan crowds to receive her James Beard Award in 1999 as Best Chef Northwest--decided that she no longer saw herself or her restaurant as fitting in with the neighborhood that had grown and changed around her. She started looking around for a new home for her tried and trusted concept and found a spot in South Lake Union that was nearly perfect: the first floor of a shiny new tower, all wrapped in windows and with a ready-made neighborhood clientele just aching for something new to fall in love with.
I never knew the old Flying Fish. It was before my time in Seattle. But speaking to those who did know it, I understand the risk that Keff was taking in picking up stakes and moving. What she had was that most rare of restaurant life-forms: a going concern--a popular, respected, and occasionally beloved restaurant still moving considerable numbers after 15 years in business. And even if she was no longer crazy about her neighbors, the thought of killing something like that and essentially starting over in a new location is just insane by most rational restaurant-world standards.
But she did it, buoyed up perhaps by the 10 years she'd spent in New York opening and closing restaurants, or maybe just by the confidence that comes from truly knowing what you're doing. The new Flying Fish is busy. It draws a decent crowd on traditionally slow nights and a heavy one during prime time. And the how and the why of that are written into every square inch of the space and the menu."
From Strong Safety, this week's review of Flying Fish.And you can find out all about the how's and the why's of chef Christine Keff's new Flying Fish tomorrow, when this week's review hits the stands and the internets. As usual, it's all full of lists and history and fish and zombies, but also details the weird things that chefs do when they start getting the urge to move or to expand and how people react when a beloved neighborhood institution pulls up stakes and decamps for new frontiers.
So check it out, won't you? And stay tuned later in the week for another food porn slideshow focusing on the beautiful plates that Keff's kitchen puts together and the (oddly) inspired space in which they're served.

AEM offers OSHA-approved rough terrain forklifts safety decal
| April 07, 2010 |
A new safety decal for rough terrain forklifts — "Employer-Certified Operators ONLY" — has been developed by the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) and approved by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
The decal signifies that the machine should be operated only by personnel who have received employer certification of training and evaluation according to relevant OSHA standards.
Equipment manufacturers working through AEM's Rough Terrain Forklift Council developed the decal, which is an example of the importance and commitment that AEM manufacturers place on properly trained operators in control of their products. A PDF version of the decal artwork, which companies can use to make their own customized labels, is available at no charge from the AEM Store on the association's Website, www.aem.org.
The decal is the latest project resulting from an AEM/OSHA alliance promoting jobsite safety. The alliance was formed in October 2007 and brings together the technical expertise of manufacturers with the communication and administrative expertise of OSHA.
The alliance targets rough terrain forklifts, including telehandlers and straight-mast forklifts, with a focus on potential operating hazards including ground conditions, machine mobility, overloading and personnel lifting. The machines were chosen because they are found on nearly all types of construction worksites, and OSHA training requirements for the machines are not always followed by machine owners and operators.
Other AEM-OSHA alliance materials include "best practices" bulletins and safety-message key fobs. AEM also produces operator safety manuals for the machines and offers an online database of "industry-recognized" pictorial illustrations for use in safety and training materials.
"AEM and its member manufacturers are committed to fostering safe equipment operation and we have worked closely with OSHA for many years towards this end. This alliance is an example of our industry's pro-active education and training efforts," AEM President Dennis Slater said in a press release.

I think that as the pregnancy progresses all the rooms turn to be a cat fight.
A bunch of hormonal women waiting to pop.....
Me, I hold my peace, even when they are rude. Its just the internet-where you can be who you want to be...
Drama Is for children and if you are starting drama in a pregnancy group then you are still a child yourself and to young to be having kids. Children shouldn't have children. I choose not to comment on posts that are negative.You just have to pick and choose....if you need advice or a pick me up there will always be someone to lend a friendly hand. Of course you will always have the negative people posting too. You just have to look at it as their way of making themselves feel better. you never know what is going on in someone else's life. Stay positive and ignore the negative. I always say God is in everyones heart they just have to let him show!

Incentives and Survival in Violent Conflicts
This paper analytically investigates the incentive scheme of perpetrators of violent conflicts. It provides a rational equilibrium framework to elicit how monetary incentives and survival considerations shape a combatant's decision to participate in a conflict. In the model, a leader decides to award soldiers monetary incentives. Civilians finance the militia via donations and soldiers decide on the actual fighting and indulge in looting. We explore the scheduled decision-making that takes place on the path toward a violent conflict and study the principal–agent relationship that exists between the leader and the militia. In addition, we analyze the effect of several internal factors (productivity and survival risk) and external factors (relative economic resources, opponents' military strength) on the intensity of the conflict. The model shows that soldiers fighting decisions are set by personal mortality risk and the level of identification with the cause of war. In addition, our results link between monetary incentives and participation in fighting and demonstrate a substitution effect of looting and donations as monetary incentives.

We're moving into a house where LOTS of those plug-in air fragrances have been used - the Glade type plug-ins, as well as wax burner fragrances, probably candles and all sort of other chemicals (cleaners, etc). Those smells make me feel sick, and I know the chemicals are very toxic for all of us, and I don't want my baby exposed to them. But those things are persistent and get into materials, and I'm wondering what is the best strategy to get rid of them so we can safely live in the house. So far I'm planning to pull up the carpet and replace with a solid surface (linoleum, cork, or wood?). But I think those things probably also get into the walls, air ducts, and...where else? Painting over the walls with zero-VOC paint wouldn't block any offgassing, so we'd have to use something like the product AFM sells for blocking formaldehyde offgassing; supposedly that would help. Then paint on top of that. More time and money. :( Does anyone have experience using that type of product or have any other recommendation for getting rid of those fragrances?
What about any other ways to get rid of those chemicals and scents? I have an air purifier (a stand-alone unit). I've heard there are also purifiers that go with the HVAC system to purify the air in the whole house. I don't know... more choices, more expense. It's all a bit overwhelming. So I'd like to know if any of you has experience or knowledge of how to eliminate these things and have clean air in the house.

Columnist Dana Milbank taps out his syndicated column to the ignoramuses and all are happy to have Ronald Reagan back--talk about speaking ill of the dead:
After he switched to the Republican Party in 1962, Ronald Reagan famously quipped: "I didn't leave the Democratic Party. The party left me."
Now, the Republican Party is doing the same thing to him--and Democrats are happy to take Reagan back.
At Tuesday morning's meeting of the House Democrats, caucus chairman John Larson rallied his colleagues for the day's debt-limit debate by playing an audio recording of the 40th president.
"Congress consistently brings the government to the edge of default before facing its responsibility," Reagan says in the clip.

Devotional readings from the Sunday New York Times's long-awaited Sunday Review:
I have wonderful friends. In this last year, one took me to Istanbul. One gave me a box of hand-crafted chocolates. Fifteen of them held two rousing, pre-posthumous wakes for me. Several wrote large checks. Two sent me a boxed set of the Bach sacred cantatas. And one, from Texas, put a hand on my thinning shoulder, and appeared to study the ground where we were standing. He had flown in to see me.
"We need to buy you a pistol, don't we?" he asked quietly. He meant to shoot myself with.
"Yes, Sweet Thing," I said, with a smile. "We do."

As White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel said back in 2008, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste":
The unemployment rate increased in 28 states in June, reflecting the rise in the national rate to 9.2% from 9.1% over the month, the Labor Department said Friday.
While 14 states saw their unemployment rate hold steady, eight logged decreases.

Writing in the mordant voice for which she is justly celebrated, hometown columnist Stella Foster reports on the gruesome ways Mayor Rahm Emanuel now spends his days:
I love that Mayor Emanuel really cares and is compassionate about all Chicagoans and has been very visible by attending diverse events all over this great city, not just in the downtown area. In fact, besides eating at soul food restaurants on the South Side, the mayor was also seen enjoying gospel great Richard Smallwood's performance at the Trinity United Church of Christ 50th anniversary celebration Tuesday evening. He also dined on roasted chicken at Kiki's Bistro on Monday and stopped by Mario's Lemonade for Italian ice. The mayor is the "energizer bunny" for this city…he just keeps going, and going and going.

Santa Rosa Press Democrat
Cindy in progressive Petaluma, her brown shirt all neatly folded and her hobnailed boots spit and shined in her bedroom, gently coaxes her Führer, on the correspondence page of her local newspaper, to get off the golf course and take action:
EDITOR: Lately, among my circle of friends, someone whispers that they are disappointed in President Barack Obama and a quiet conversation starts. Some want to stay devout and defend Obama, but many of us are admitting that we are not as hopeful as we once were. He promised change, and we are still waiting.
Saying you are disappointed in someone you voted for can feel like admitting you were wrong, but what you are really admitting is that you are not inspired. The majority of us went to the polls pumped up and hoping for change. We did not expect a perfect America, but we did expect a leader who would inspire us again and again.
Most of us are waiting for instructions, Mr. Obama. Ask us to sacrifice, and we will. Ask something of us, and we will understand who we are and what we are capable of. Give us something to work together on -- not a war or a disaster but something that can be brought into each and every home. You inspired us before and can do it again. We're just waiting for instructions.

The Nation
On the occasion of the Hon. Anthony Weiner's quiet withdrawal from public life, the inimitable JoAnn Wypijewski reveals the findings of her long, personal, and at times highly perilous canvassing of our nation's men's restrooms:
Of all the restrooms in all the schools and bars and gas stations across this great land, rare is the stall inside of which someone has not paused to draw a penis. Erect, with tight scrotum on one end and a cartoon squirt at the other, it is characterized by a vigorous arcing line and a paucity of detail; no hairs or veins or rippled skin, no great variation in size or proportion, a Unipenis, really, the signal hieroglyph of our age. When we have blown or glutted or pummeled ourselves into extinction, alien archaeologists will find this symbol on crumbling viaducts and leeching scrap heaps, in the ruins of our cities and the overgrown remnants of our public libraries, and they will conclude, "Here was their god."

Columnist Isabel Alvarez shares with us a pensive moment, a transformative moment, just before becoming an apostate from French cuisine with the help of her dog, Titan, apparently a Chihuahua:
I recently upgraded my dog's canned food to a holistic, organic brand. My finicky Titan and I were impressed when simply opening the can made us both salivate. The chunks of meat, recognizable vegetables, hearty sauce and yummy scent made me want to toss it in some pasta and go to town. I was really tempted to try it. I had to remind myself that it was dog food.
While Titan indulged, I stood at my kitchen counter, reluctantly spooning non-fat Greek yogurt into my mouth and wondering why my dog's dinner was more flavorful and nutritious than my own.

Dear R. Emmett Tyrrell,
Each night, I get the chance to read about 10 letters from people across the country. Some are inspiring. Some are heartbreaking. But each one compels me to keep moving forward on this journey we started together.
And as I read the stories, hopes, and fears of people nationwide, I'm also reminded of what I told you and the American people when I was sent to the White House. I cannot do this alone.

A New Age super-patriot sounds off on the op-ed page of the Golden State's Times:
At a recent fifth-grade promotion ceremony, I felt compelled to go through the motions of flag pledging, to go so far as to say the words, because I thought the joy of the day was more important than my feelings about the flag. So I stood, crossed my heart and said the pledge, mentally editing as I went along.
"I acknowledge the flag of the United Racist States of America and to the repression for which it stands, two or three bifurcated nations, two economies, two health-care systems, two nations under God, divisible by color, class, gender and access, with liberty for some and justice for fewer."…
In the fifth grade I pledged the flag. By the ninth grade, I wanted to burn it.

Learning to drive a car is one of the best perks of being a teenager. With the majority of legal driving age limits around the world set somewhere between 16 and 18 years of age, even places like Alberta, Canada, and South Dakota, U.S.A., where licenses are issued to 14-year-old teenagers with adult supervision, have been criticized for starting kids out behind the wheel a little too early.
But just how soon is too soon? That's the question floating around Chinese social media at the moment as two Chinese parents are facing major backlash for allowing their daughter, who only appears to be 4-5 years old, to drive their family car.

NewsOK Blogs / OKC Central
Emerson Hope
Those of you who followed OKC Central for any length of time probably realize that I've got a soft spot for the kids who are enrolled at Emerson High School. It's an alternative education school at NW 7 and Walker where kids with some of the biggest challenges (teen pregnancy, not fitting in) are trying to overcome great odds and obtain a high school diploma.
I was first drawn to the plight of this school when I learned it was possible that those horrible (and they are horrible) run-down metal trailers outside the historic building could be left standing and in use as classrooms AFTER it undergoes its MAPS for Kids renovation.
A "ground-breaking" took place back in October. I'm not sure why that hasn't translated into the ground actually being "broken" and construction taking place. But such delays happen – we've seen a similar silence with the Kevin Durant restaurant in Lower Bricktown.
Believe it or not, there is no clinic for the teenage moms at Emerson. A trailer clinic was provided several years ago, but support for it shriveled up with a loss of funding and/or interest.
Andrew Rice gets it. And as director of Variety Health Care, he's seeking to have his organization operate a pre-natal/pediatric clinic at the school. The catch is the Oklahoma City Public School Board must approve a memorandum of understanding that would allow for the renovation of the century-old building's boiler room to be used for the clinic. The school board will meet at 5:30 p.m. Monday at 900 N Klein Avenue.
Emerson is downtown's only school at the moment. Not everyone may appreciate it being an "alternative school," but it is making a difference for kids. And I've met some of these kids. I've participated in tutoring at the school. They're good kids who either struggled in the normal flow or messed up without the safety net many of us had when we were younger. They simply need to see, to benefit, from a community that cares about them. With a lot of the kids coming and going from the school, I won't lie – helping isn't easy. But nothing extraordinary is accomplished without an extraordinary effort.

Homeland Security officials confirmed for the first time yesterday that in the past year they have developed a list of what they consider to be the 600 most critical targets in the United States.
Called the "Criticality List," officials say it is broken down into two tiers. Tier one consists of between 20 and 30 sites which would cause large loss of life, have enormous financial cost and have high symbolic value if attacked. Tier two sites also would have potentially high loss of life, cost and symbolic value, but the effects would be somewhat more localized.
Included in the list of 600 tier one and tier two sites are:
The Statue of Liberty
Grand Central Station (N.Y.)
Penn Station and Madison Square Garden (N.Y.)
NYC Water Tunnel
NY Bridges and Tunnels
U.S. Capitol
Washington mall with its numerous monuments
U.S. Naval Academy (Annapolis)
West Point (NY)
Air Force Academy (Colorado)
Independence Hall/ Liberty Bell (Philadelphia)
Port of Baltimore
Port of Miami
Port of Los Angeles
Naval Station at Norfolk, Va. ( the world's largest naval station, the world's largest military station, based on supported military population)
LAX (Los Angeles)
Dulles Aiport
Golden Gate Bridge (San Francisco)
Liberty Tower (Los Angeles)
Sears Tower (Chicago)

OKLAHOMA CITY — The streak is over. The series may only be beginning.
Kevin Durant scored 22 points, Thabo Sefolosha set playoff career-bests with 19 points and six steals, and the Oklahoma City Thunder snapped San Antonio's 20-game winning streak by beating the Spurs 102-82 in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals on Thursday night.
Oklahoma City closed its series deficit to 2-1 and will host Game 4 on Saturday night.
"We never thought these guys had an advantage over us even though we had lost a few," Durant said. "It was just good that we took it to 2-1. We didn't want to go down 0-3."
Sefolosha threw a wrench in the Spurs' well-oiled offense at the start, getting four steals in the first 3 minutes. The Spurs ended up committing a postseason-worst 21 turnovers and scoring their least points all season.
San Antonio had been averaging 109.4 points during its month-and-a-half winning streak and had been held to double digits only twice.
"We just played a good basketball game," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "We played with a lot of force, we played with good energy, but we played defensive-minded basketball.
"That's who we are. That's how we win."
Tony Parker and Stephen Jackson led the Spurs with 16 points apiece. Tim Duncan had 11 points on 5-for-15 shooting, taking 11 of San Antonio's first 25 shots as the offense went through the All-Star center instead of Parker.
"They played like it was a closeout game, both offensively and defensively," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "They were very active, physical, they moved the ball well on offense. They did all those things better than we did. They beat us good."
The Spurs, who already set an NBA record for the longest winning streak carried over from the regular season into the playoffs, were trying to match the league mark for most wins to start the postseason. The Lakers won 11 straight to start the 1989 and 2001 playoffs, getting swept in the NBA finals the first time and winning it all the second.
The Spurs hadn't lost since April 11 against the Lakers at home.
"We are a prideful team. It's no fun being down 0-2. It's no fun," Brooks said. "But we weren't looking at the game thinking, 'Oh my gosh, we have a chance to be down 0-3.' We were looking at the game that we have a chance to be 1-2 after this game, and I give our guys a lot of credit. They believe in each other and they always play hard for each other."
Parker and Duncan didn't play in the final 15 minutes, and Popovich pulled the plug after a series of three straight turnovers allowed the deficit to reach 23 points early in the fourth quarter.
Sefolosha had a right-handed dunk off a lob pass from Russell Westbrook, who followed with his own two-handed jam on an alley-oop pass and Sefolosha followed with a reverse layup on another turnover-fueled fast-break chance to push the lead to 86-63 with 9:48 left.
The Thunder put together another 9-0 run coinciding with Manu Ginobili coming out of the game, and featuring Serge Ibaka sticking his tongue out after nailing a jumper from the top of the key. Brooks soon followed suit and pulled his own front-line players with the game well in hand.
"You're not going to beat this team by playing one-effort basketball," Brooks said. "You're going to have to have two, three, four, even five. And they make you do that because they pass the ball so well, they spread the floor so well."
Popovich said the Thunder played harder and smarter than the Spurs.
"They did definitely play with a lot more energy, a lot more passion than us tonight," said Parker, who committed five turnovers.

Julia Biryukova has a lot of time on her hands these days. Being that she's offering no assistance to the police who are looking for missing son, she's got plenty of time for more important things like uploading photos online.
The Flickr photos contain several shots of Sky, which is more than can be said for Biryukova's Facebook page, which has dozens of pics of daughter Maile, but only one of the missing boy.
As it stands Biryukova is not officially a suspect in her son's disappearance. Her story is that she was driving the boy to the hospital when her car ran out of gas. She says that she took her daughter, left her son in the car, and walked to the closest gas station to get gas and when she came back the boy was gone.
This despite police saying that the car started up and drove fine when they tested it.
Since then Biryukova has refused to aid police in their search for the child.
Bellevue police have scheduled a press conference for 3:30 p.m. where they plan on updating the media about the investigation. Needless to say Sky is still missing.
