You can be skeptical and friendly at the same time.
I am age 78, once a Catholic priest for five years (in the 1960's), then a math teacher for 44 years up to the present day. I became an atheist a few years ago. My hobbies are music and chess.

FORT WORTH, TX - NOVEMBER 06: Jeff Gordon, driver of the #24 DuPont Chevrolet, stands on pit road after qualifying for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Dickies 500 at Texas Motor Speedway on November 6, 2009 in Fort Worth, Texas. (Photo by Darrell Ingham/Getty Images)
Honestly, as much as people wanted to build up the storyline that Jeff Gordon and Clint Bowyer were not done with each other after their altercation at Phoenix, with NASCAR coming down on them a little bit this week it seemed clear it would not continue at Homestead. At Phoenix, the two had contact on the track then Gordon retaliated and sparked a wreck that took out himself, Bowyer and Joey Logano. Bowyer's crew then continued the confrontation with Gordon in the garage and Bowyer himself headed to Gordon's transporter on foot before being turned away by officials. Both then were invited for a chat with NASCAR officials. Last week, NASCAR not only came down on Jeff Gordon with a fine, but probably had some serious conversations with Jeff, with team owner Rick Hendrick, with Clint, with team owner Michael Waltrip, ensuring that all of that would stay in Phoenix because these guys still had a strong task at hand. Obviously, Jeff Gordon was trying to get a second win in 2012 and Cl...

Storm over Java
Java exploits are increasingly used by malware industry
"Exploiting vulnerabilities in any kind of software is the malware industry's most effective way of getting control over a PC. Just visiting an infected website with an unprotected computer will be enough to infect a system." states Ralf Benzmüller, head of G Data SecurityLabs. "We have noticed an increasing amount of attacks based on security holes in Java. Users who do not keep their installed version of Java updated are especially at risk."
G Data's security specialists recommend to not only use a powerful security solution but also advises users to always keep their operating system, their browser and all components updated. Every available software update and security patch should be installed as quickly as possible to close any security holes.
Possible reasons for the current predominance of attacks on Java:
Java vulnerabilities offer cyber criminals a lot of potential on the technical side and the development and distribution of malicious code is considerably easier compared to other methods of infecting a system. Warnings of security issues with PDFs in the recent past have generated a higher level of awareness in users.
The effort of vendors of PDF readers to keep their products updated has also contributed to making the development of functional malware based on PDF exploits much more difficult.
Malware which uses JavaScript vulnerabilities, such as the likes of "JS:Downloader", is extremely active at the moment and is constantly being developed by malware authors. As of October 2010 three variants of this Trojan Horse have made it into the malware Top 10.

- This page is about the Druid ability. For the former hunter talent, see Lacerate (Hunter).
|Usable by
|3 sec (GCD 1.5 sec)
|Level required
|Other information
|Requires Bear Form
|Related debuff
|TCG image
Lacerate is a druid ability learned at level 38. It is a stacking bleed effect usable only in Bear Form.
Modified by
- [Nature's Vigil] (talent)
- [Mastery: Razor Claws] ( feral spec ability)
- This ability is used similar to a warrior's Sunder Armor, though it does not generate as much threat. However, Lacerate can crit, which increases the threat caused.
- The damage over time is divided into 5 3-second ticks (one-fifth of the damage each tick). Reapplying Lacerate renews the DoT debuff to its full 15-second duration.
Tips and tactics
- Very good skill for single target tanking. The tanking rotation generating the most threat is: Mangle as often as possible; while Mangle is on cooldown, use Lacerate; if you still have excess rage, use Maul in parallel.
- When tanking multiple mobs at once, Swipe (Bear) is usually a better choice than Lacerate.
Past changes
- Patch 2.4.0 (25-Mar-2008): This ability now deals additional damage based on the attack power of the Druid.

"Kodiak Alaska -- My Home Town" Top 5 Page for this destination Kodiak by kaloz
Kodiak Travel Guide: 260 reviews and 460 photos
Welcome to Kodiak Alaska, my home town. Located in the Gulf of Alaska, Kodiak is a temperate isle due to the warm Japanese currents. We are home to over 3000 bears, the largest land dwelling carnivores, but you'll have to travel outside of town to see one. There are plenty of activities all year round, or plan ahead with a guide.
In addition to the fishing and hunting, we also offer a cultural history, with museums of the Aluutiq way of life, and from the Russian era.
Famous visitors last year included President Jimmy Carter, and Tiger Woods. You never know who will show up in Kodiak Alaska.
Kodiak is a very old Russian settlement. We have the oldest extant building of the Russian era, the Baranov House. We even have our own Saint!! St Herman of Alaska was cannonized by the Orthodox church in 1970.
Kodiak is a fishing village, struggling with the influx of farmed fish, our fleet chases the wild fish, the one's that fight to survive, and when you taste our seafood, you will know the difference.
- Pros:Good People, Good Fun, Great Scenery
- Cons:It just might rain today.
- In a nutshell:I wouldn't live anywhere else

On Body Image
I still remember the first time I took notice of my body and compared it to other girls'. I grew up as a swimmer. Half-naked bodies were normal and nothing to get excited about, until I was ten. It was picture day, and I noticed that some of the other girls looked….well, more grown up. When it was my turn to take the picture. I sat in the pre-arranged pose and sucked my stomach in as far as it would go. I was already a tiny girl, so this move made me look like a skeleton. My mom still has this picture hanging in her den. Every time I see it, I'm reminded of how skewed our perception of ourselves really are.
So heart breaking! Seven years old? That's too young to think that way. How can we fix this problem?
As a mama to 2 girls, this breaks my heart. I, too, worry about this (my oldest is 6.5). This past school year was Kindy, and we immediately saw changes in her perception about pretty much everything (none of which was body related. Yet.).
Like you said, we can only shield them from so much and instill good values so much. But we face a nearly impossible task to countering the rest of the world and it's impact on our kids.
There is little solace in anything we can say, but as a mom of 3 daughters, the oldest of whom is seven, I feel a sliver of relief that you were there to witness it. Somehow it seems like maybe you have a tiny leg up because you know.
I am so sorry and I hope for all of our sake, and theirs, that we find a way to curb the self-loathing over nothing.
I loved reading this from a dad's point of view – mostly because it puts us all on the same page, fighting the same fight, to protect our kids from our/society's war with body image.
This was beautifully written, and equally heart breaking.
Sigh. Its true. I know it. My daughter isn't quite two but I know that despite my best attempts she will one day look at a mirror and find something wrong with what's looking back at her. It doesn't help that I have bad body image issues that I'm trying to keep quiet from her. Surely that she will get wind of them and will compare herself against her friend just like her mom compares herself against the mother.
There has to be a way that we can keep the innocent twirl in the dressing room for longer.
My daughter was 6 when a little girl in her class started to pick on her about her weight. When she came to me with a diet plan that included no more candy and lots of exercise , I was heartbroken. I couldn't believe she was feeling that way at such a young age and what that would mean for her in the future. My husband and I decided to talk to a child psychologist about it. When she told us that at this age our daughter took what we said more to heart than her classmates , I felt like a weight was lifted. I still had my daughters' trust and when I tell her that she is smart and beautiful ,she still believes me. I can only pray that she never lets someone make her feel this way when she gets older and I am no longer the person she listens to. I'm teaching her to be strong and listen to herself , not others. Let's hope it is enough.
I was so touched by this post I was up during the night. Here's my response: http://outlawmama.com/2012/06/06/the-mirror-my-daughter-my-lead/
One thing that has shocked me as a parent is how early kids take notice of what others think about them and care about how they are perceived. It's not just weight. It's not just girls. It can be as simple as another kid calling you stupid, short, or saying you look dumb in glasses. It's completely crushing. Teaching my kids to love who they are is going to be the longest struggle I face as a parent. I hate that kids go through this.
Great post.
I have struggeled with my weight and body image all of my life. Just recently I decided I liked myself, I really did, and it did not matter I was overweight. I have changed my eating habbits and stopped eating fatty foods, which is really helping. I feel better and even though I am large, my boys remind me everyday how lovable I am.
It's absolutely awful that any girl has to ever feel this way. My own daughter is only 2 & a half, tall and strong. She's faster than the boys, more active than any kid her age, off the charts tall according to the doctor. She IS beautiful and incredibly intelligent and amazes me every day. So why do we already have to hear stick-thin moms and grandmas saying "oh she's BIG" when they find out how old she actually is? Why do they compare to their own fragile-looking, teeny tiny girls? I smile and say, "yup, she's my big, strong, tall girl and she's such a genius that she acts like a 4 year old and seems older than all the others, doesn't she?" She doesn't understand all this yet, and I am terrified and heartbroken for that day when she gets why those women say the word big in such a derogatory manner. Such a strong, sad post! Wishing you and your girls all the best and a healthy, happy self image.
Yep. Crying right now.
It has gotten really bad , it's bad when the mom thinks it too! Especially the only images of beautiful women are the ones who look Luke skinny tall boys… And dare I say it… White. I have to raise young black women who love Disney shows and girly fashion, but I worry about their tainted images of beauty. Even I have problems feeling that I'm worthy.
Great post, made me sad. I dread the day my little girl starts to think of herself that way, because it's been a long road of me dealing with self-image, whether I was tiny or huge.
This is just crushingly sad.
Pete, trust us on this, it is just beginning for you and your family. Just wait until Alicia comes home for Christmas vacation from college (!!!), what you may have then is what we referred to as "Dressing Room Drama."
My heart broke when I read this. As a mom of two teenaged girls, I can relate to your concerns that your sweet daughters have a healthy body image. They are beautiful, inside and out.
I have an 8 year old and just two days ago she asked me why she didn't look like all the other girls. I jokingly responded with "good genetics". She rolled her eyes letting me know that this was no time to joke and then went on to complain that her belly was more rounded then other girls her age. To be clear she is not overweight, however, she is also not completely mistaken, she does have a rounder belly then many of her friends. I responded with a long lecture about how we are all shaped differently and how important it is to accept and love your body the way it is. Then, just in case none of this sunk in, I ended by pointing out that she would probably also grow boobies before many of her friends… Attention successfully diverted away from the stomach. 😉
And I'm sorry that you had to witness the end of an era, so to speak, when she's still so young.
ugh. Now I'm all stabby…
Oh______. This post makes me sad and mad and feel utterly helpless. I only have boys, and even they complain about being fat. What the?! it's really an upward, never ending battle, harder for girls and their loved ones. One thing we have to do is to keep on counterbalancing the "evil" force.
7 is very young to be thinking this way, poor little thing. I don't know if kids grow up quicker in different parts of the world. We are lucky to live in a small village in the UK. Whilst the media is still there and the pressures are still there, they seem more distant than they are to friends kids who are in the city. God bless her. I do try to raise my little one strong, she is 11, and give her a sense of 'self', we use words like 'strong' and 'muscules' and 'fit' when exercising, never referring to weight but these concepts do leek into their everyday thinking anyway, unaviodable.
This makes me sad for all the little girls and their parents. I wish the media would just stop already with the unrealistic, idealistic body image expectations. I am so glad I have boys. You sound like a wonderful Dad. All the best.
I always worry how I portray body image to my almost 8 year old daughter. During her first 5 years of life I struggled with my weight and finally lost 45lbs. I know I am always talking about points values for foods and how I need to exercise and I am not sure how she processes all this information. This post reminds me I can show my daughter how to respect myself, so she can grow into adulthood loving herself.
I really like that you didn't try to tie this all up at the end in a nice tight Hallmark package. You stuck with the truth on this issue by ending it unresolved because honestly, there really isn't a solution. And it's so unfortunate. Our little girls grow up in a society obsessed with body image. Until this goes away, we all will always see ourselves the same way she did in the mirror no matter how beautiful we might be.
My 10-year-old's reached that stage too and it breaks my heart. I asked her if she thought I was fat. She looked at me like I was nuts and said, "No!" So I told her that every time I try on clothes in the dressing room, I think I look fat, even though I'm not. I told her (unfortunately) that it's a normal feeling to have, but that you have to remind yourself that you're not and that you're great just the way you are. It seemed to make her feel better.
I'm with the other commenters, this breaks my heart too. Alas more is to come. I need to monitor my children's media diet more carefully myself. Hang in there Dad.
It most certainly does not make it right. I know I have control over what I buy, but I don't have control over all that my girls (11 and 8) see. For instance, the padded bras for newly developing girls (why do they need MORE?). Skinniest skinny jeans of all skinnidom. Um, can a girl's nether regions get some air? All I can say is continue what you've been doing: keep talking, keep letting her know that she is gorgeous and loved and loveable. The brands and media damn sure don't care about that.
This is a heart-breaking post. Actually, I am crying, but that might be the PMS and my failure to keep chocolate in the house. Your daughters are lucky to have you and I am so happy to see this post. I was just asking my blog readers where the good daddy blogs are….I think you should start one up. This is too good.
I know from experience how difficult this stage is for girls. But I think the fact that boys go through this as well is overlooked. My son is 12 and last year he had been on some medication that made him gain weight. Some of the kids he knew teased him about being fat, and it took me forever to get him to go outside again. He became preoccupied with his weight, working out, and how much he is eating. I did some research and found out, much tom y surprise, that eating disorders are on the rise for boys as young as 9. They see "perfect" men on tv and other places, and they think everyone has to have a perfect six pack, be tan, and have not one ounce of anything jiggly on them. Thankfully he is no longer on those meds, and is now back to his normally skinny self. But now I worry, and I watch. And I am very aware of what I say to him about body image, mine or others. When I had a boy 12 years ago I remember thinking I would not have to go through the "I'm fat, I'm ugly" phase. How wrong I was.
This breaks my heart. WHY? WHY should ANY 7 year old even THINK that word. It's beyond sad.
I thought I'd be immune from exchanges like this because my children are both boys. But I've heard my 9-year-old son call his strong, healthy body fat and it makes me want to put my fist through a wall. Sigh.
That was very moving and sad and so many things at once. Thanks for sharing. I am probably not going to have kids so I wonder what times like this are like for people that do have kids. This is one of those tough ones that make you sad.
My zumba instructor has mom and me classes, but she also welcomes kids as young as 10 to come to her regular classes. About two weeks ago, an adorable 5th grader came with her mom and wanted to try it out. She is holding a little extra weight, and is probably one to think the F word about herself. Well, she got in there and just did her best! At first her mom was just going to stay and watch because she runs in the mornings, but her heart for her daughter got the best of her, she joined in from that very day. "Janie" (not her real name) can't get all the steps just right but it really doesn't matter in zumba. She dances for the whole hour and has a blast. Yesterday our instructor started selling the little skirts with the coins all over them, and she bought a pink one. I danced behind her and she had those coins rocking! Afterwards I told her how good she was doing and that if she keeps it up she's going to be in better shape than any of her friends… and I told her "girl, that skirt is perfect for you…. I love watching you shake it!" Her mom later told me thanks, that she has taken some teasing and that she doesn't stick with physical things very long, and she has tried everything to help her stay in shape. She is just cute as a bug and we will encourage her to stay with us! Maybe this will help her. I'm 60 and a retired high school teacher. It's true that there are a lot more overweight kids now than ever before, but most that I see do not eat or rest right, let alone exercise. Yet I have also never seen so much obsession with looks amongst kids, especially girls. It's very sad and there are many who are in good shape but always think they are "fat" and do things like skip breakfast and lunch. And you're right…. the message from magazines, TV, movies… none of it is good. My own ten year old grandson is growing like his daddy did. He is pretty hefty right now but when his dad was that age, he was the same way until he grew 7 inches taller in one year and all that belly fat just spread out all over, and he was lean. He got teased a lot in elementary school and I fear it's the same for my grandson. He won't even get in the pool anymore without a shirt on. All we can do is support them the best we can, as you do, and encourage good eating and exercise habits. I just don't know what we can do to assure them of their beauty from the inside out. Of course the old "pretty is as pretty does," helps a bit but kids these days have a lot of other influences making it harder and harder to shelter them from some pretty ugly stuff. Good luck and keep up that great daddying that you are doing
Such a big issue for parents of girls. I have 3 girls, my oldest is 8. My oldest two are on the smaller side for their age groups, but even still the oldest is already showing some insecurities about her appearance. She told her Nana one day that she didn't want ice cream because it would make her fat. We quickly jumped on that comment and explained to her that sweets are ok, especially the small amount we eat. We've since banned Disney and Nick tv shows because we noticed that those were really impacting her self image and sending the wrong message to girls. All 3 of my girls are beautiful and strong. The oldest is a budding athlete. It's going to be a struggle though from here on to make sure they all see themselves as we do. And to ban to F word from our house.
I hope to stave off this moment with Baguette for as long as possible. But I think you handled it well, focusing on how to make the dress fit the way she wants it to.
But I also think that it's important to point out to her that she saw it in the right way: it was the dress, not her. Not all garments are flattering. Some of them do make us look fat. And if she can look in the mirror and feel that she looks great, but the dress isn't right, then that's just fine.
Because we all have moments of insecurity. But we don't all have to live there.
It's a tragedy. I've spent my entire life pinching and twisting and snarling at any excess fat. It's such a waste of time but yet it develops so much into our sense of being it seems impossible to stop.
My girl is now 12 and she's started to throw her arms around her belly and hunch over if she thinks anyone around her is paying attention. My heart breaks everytime she does it.
Breaks my heart! I remember going through that when I was younger…and I'm about 2 weeks away from having my own little girl appear into this world, trying to shield her from the world's view on beauty and weight is impossible and something I know we'll struggle with as she grows up.
I have two daughters, ages 7 and 11. The youngest has always been one to walk to the beat of her own drum and when the day comes and she faces these body image issues (and we know the day WILL come), I really hope it doesn't alter her outlook. Alas, it probably will. {sigh}
Great post.
This kills me. I SO BADLY want to shield my daughter from all of this, but I know I am going to have a very difficult time. Doesn't help, either, that the first comment made of any little girl is, "She's so pretty!" I'm lobbying for "You look so smart today!"
Agreed, Stephanie! My 2 year old daughter already announces "I pretty" to unassuming passerby. I use a myriad of descriptors when I talk to her: "smart" "kind" "persistent" "determined". I hate that people default to "pretty".
She's got you, Dad, and you will always love her and fight for her and remind her that she's beautiful inside and out. And that will count for so much more in the long run than ads and marketing. If only all little girls could grow up so loved and accepted and encouraged.
What a powerful post. It made the reader feel like they were there with you, watching an adorable 7 year old gaze at herself in the mirror and question how beautiful she is. Although this moment of watching my children question their image is still in my future, this post is a good reminder to me to watch what I say about my body. Thank you.
Thank you for leaving it unsolved. Real. Best wishes.
This brought tears to my eyes. I'm 38 years old and still struggling with insecurities about my body. When will it stop?
If only we, as parents, could take all their insecurities and pain and flush it down the toilet.
Oh God. This breaks my heart. I feel like we can do a lot for young women by teaching them early that the images they see on TV and in print- are not real. There are a ton of youtube videos that show the effects of photoshop- you should show her some of those.
Ugh. I'm dreading this day. No matter how hard you try, society is bound to catch up with them eventually. But as long as you keep telling her she's beautiful, she'll be okay.
So sad. I have boys and my 13 year old still doesn't give a rats rump what he looks like, so long as I can find pants that aren't tight and shirts with funny images. He'd wear the same clothes for a week if I didn't remind him to change.
And this is why you find SOMETHING outside for them to be involved in. Whatever it is. Our daughter plays ice hockey on an all girls team. She also did basketball this year. You just have to find one thing she loves to do. I've also told my daughter that just as much as she looks in the mirror and sees whatever flaw she sees, that the most popular girl in her class looks in the mirror and sees her own flaws too. I've not shielded her particularly; in fact, I'm quite blunt. She's in 6th grade and I told her last year that middle school was going to be hard. Just keep your head down, do your schoolwork, and play hockey. High school is soooooo much better. You gotta raise 'em up strong so they can kick the world's a$$!!
It is amazing how our kids soak up all the messages from media even when we've done our best to counteract them with our love, reassurance, and positive talk.
Just keep doing what you've been doing…
Ugh – this made me so sad. I remember when this happened to me and as I was reading this I was looking at my perfect little girl and I knew that one day she wouldn't be able to see how perfect she is.
I'm dealing with this with my daughter. It is so hard.
Oh, Pete, I loved this. You aptly captured the sadness that can accompany this moment. How very right you are that no matter how much we instill in them that they are beautiful, and how little emphasis we place on society's view of what is attractive, it finds them.
However, as the Mom to three teen girls, I must advise you: pick yourself up and dust yourself off, and get ready to steel yourself for the next stage, which will be that your dtrs will want to wear things you are not ready for them to wear. Shorts too short, tops too tight, v-necks too plunging. I've always dressed them very conservatively, our school has a commendable dress-code, we watch what they are exposed to, media-wise. And yet… that desire to look sexy grabs hold of them too early. Now instead of saying ooh and ahhh in the dressing room, I hear myself saying an awful lot of "No".

I have seen reports of Apple fixing this issue with Verizon, but no comments at all towards ATT users. I can confirm with 100% certainty as can many others that this is an issue with ATT customers as well. I was using my Iphone just a moment ago and it was showing "connected" to my Wifi Router but the router shows no defices connected. In addition it is painfully slow when this is occurring - to the point of typically not loading anything - probably because for some reason the Iphone is trying to access data on the router while the router isn't recognizing any defices being connected.
Please fix this problem immediately.

Well, I am a verizon customer and I received the update they pushed out last night. It may have helped something but it did not solve or help with the wifi drop out issue. For me it doesn't matter if I am connected to a secure or unsecure network. All the fixes I have tried so far last about 1 -2 minutes and then it drops wifi.
Hope they fix this soon.

the verizon fix states that it ONLY fixes a problem with your data plan being charged when using wifi. it does NOT fix the wpa2 AES signal drop problem. There has not yet been an official statement regarding the wpa2-AES signal drop problem.

Ok I seem to have sorted this issue on my iPhone 5! I was having intermittent drop outs on wifi and very slow speeds - here's what I did;
Log into your routers IP address and change settings to allow WPA ONLY!! Most newer routers use WPA/WPA2 and also change the wifi channel to one that gives you the best connection across all your devices, once set, restart your iPhone. For me, this seems to have done it, I have been trying to drop connection all day and it won't!!!

Changing or turning off security is a workaround that a lot of us have tried.
Problem is when you go to work, or any wireless network where you don't control the router.
Someone on here said an Applecare rep told her to contact the IT dept at work and have them change the security. Hysterical, and you'd think working at a large company the Applecare rep would know what kind of response you'd get.
If you have to change or disable security, the phone is still broken.

And of the many things I have tried at my house, just for s hits and giggles, this was one of them, all to no avail. Still puzzling as to why the connection is so s hitty on one server and so great on another, yet my IP4S using the same app, does remarkebly well on both.

Here also the wpa2/aes issues on an iphone5 bought in Belgium. Wifi doesn't connect sometimes after unlocking or does connect and receives no data. A lot of people here say to go the apple store and get a new one... but this only works in the US. Here there is big waiting list and 'you should be glad' to have one.
btw: iphone 4 of my girlfriend works flawless with same router.
Other people here from Belgium with same issue?

I spent an hour or so between level one Apple support and then a senior advisor (and many more hours downloading the firmware) this weekend trying to get my iPhone5 to connect to my WPA2 protected AP. They had me backup, reset everything, restore, restore the phone to original firmware even. We reset, rebooted, lowered the security (removed MAC filter, turned on broadcast SSID, simplified the password) on the AP as well.
Still nothing. It sees the network fine but tells me it's unable to join every time I enter the password. The correct, simplified password.
Apple's senior advisor's conclusion as of this morning is since the phone can connect to a public WiFi there is a problem with my network and they'd like to know things like what kind of anti-virus is running on my network. WTH?
What does it matter? It can't connect to the AP so how does my internal network even play into this. More importantly, my Apple TV connects, my Mac Mini that is normally hardwired connects, my WD TV, Blu Ray, Asus netbook, and my iPhone1 all connect just fine... and they know this.
I even had the iPhone1 forget the network and I re-joined, re-entered the password with no problem.
If the only device that can't connect is my iPhone5 I fail to see how this is a problem with MY network.

I am having the same issues. I'm on att (iphone 5 32gb) and they started my data plan over on 9/21 and they say I have used 1.9gb in 10 days. I had the 4s and rarely got to 1.9gb in a month. The wifi doesnt work very well if at all when I have the cellular data on but when I have the cellular data off the wifi works fine. It's like when it was working it was using the cell network even tho I was connected to wifi. There is no way I have used that much data in such a short amount of time. I talked to apple and they recognize there is an issue and they are trying to fix it but they said they are not responsible for refunding or adjusting the bill thru att. Att doesnt really have anything to say besides they know there's something going on. I really hope they adjust the bill when the problem is fixed.

I received my iphone5 on the September 21st....and had the same issues with wifi painfully slow...it would not get above 512k...when my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 both connected perfectly...all three had IOS6.
I tried everything ...everything...
I went into the wifi settings for my connection...click on the blue arrow..
and changed the:
HTTP Proxy to: Auto
and in the
Client ID: test
Renew Lease....
and now its working....don't know why...don't know for how long...
hope there is a software update for this....

Hi all,
Seeing the same problem here - WEP didn't work, DNS servers didn't work. What does work, for me anyway, I've used a HTTP proxy, set to manual pointing to a little squid server I have.
No idea why this would work as before:
iPhone -> Router -> Internet.
iPhone -> Router -> Proxy -> Router -> Internet (and back!)
But it does. I'm trying hard to think how this could possibly work, in fact I'm not even sure why I tried it - but it does. Still connecting via WPA2 to the router etc...
Anyway, good luck all - but this to me proves it's software.

I also had the same problem with my iphone5 and apple tv! It is the outdated router firmware! I had to buy a new router to fix mine! I went with the apple airport! I know this *****! I have found that some places the wifi works and some places it does not! It has to do With the routers!
Apple needs to say what it is and stop betting around the bush!
My router was a dlink615. It's firmware was from 2009. The router was purchased less then a year ago, and has no updates by dlink!

I dug up the WIFI compliance and certification report. It had some information that I did not know. Useful for setting routers.
Note the extended capabilities.
Short Guard Interval
- 40 MHz operation in 5 GHz
And EAP-SIM
Makes me wonder about SIMs....Why would someone use a SIM card to authenticate WIFI? Apparently we will find out.

Adidas climacool shoe is the BEST ! I already use more than 2 years. I do regular walk, run. My ambient surrounding is hot. The shoe is light, and Breathable, can walk many kilometers without feeling hard and hot. The cushion also very nice and fit with my foot contour. Plan to buy again this year ... read more
These were nice but they came up about half a size too small and didn't look great with socks as they are quite low and you see through the mesh slightly, they are cute but a bit too bright for me I might try them in black in a larger size ... read more
I have loved Adidas clothing over the years and I was excited about these pants. However I could tell when i took the pants out of the package that these pants would be sent back. The material is so thin that you can see straight through it. Disappointed in the poor quality of the material. These will be sent back. ... read more
As someone who is rather tall, the length of these are great, but the waist is a slight problem. The waist is rather big in my opinion, and although the pull cords keep the waist slighter tighter, they tend to be very baggy on me. ... read more
While the shoe is overall comfortable, I was disappointed in the colour. I had hope these shoes were the peachy colour you see online, but it is a very neon coral. Debating if I want to exchange them or not.. ... read more
Wanted some slim fitting joggers for a while, and these fitted the bill. Size guide is spot on. Fut is narrow leg (think a skinny jeans type) with a fitted top half. Comfortable, and stylish (I dislike baggy joggers, especially round the ankle). Not washed them yet, but quality looks good. ... read more
Fits just right not to tight, I wear medium and it fit me just right I hate the jerseys that come tight this one comes a little loose but not too much. It comes a like an inch inch long but doesn't look bad. I loved how it fit me specially cus it's not tight. ... read more
I purchased theMEN ORIGINALS CLIMACOOL 1 SHOES sneakers in Red. Nice product but not suitable for me,the cushioning of the sole seems to bigger/higher compare to the original in 2000's.Returning the product. So i can't really comment . True to size,even with wide feef ... read more
Perfect jacket for all purposes. It's super comfortable and looks awesome. The collar isn't too high either, so you can easily zip it up all the way and not have it bugging your chin. It's very light weight and has cooling ventilation in high wear areas so do not purchase if you are looking for warmth. It is a light weight cooling warm up jacket. I wear it to the gym and to the field and even out on the town because it looks great. Like I said, it's my new favorite jacket. It does run a tad bit big but not big enough to order a size up - it's a little loose not tight fitting. ... read more
The adidas Climacool has to be by far one of the most comfortable sneakers to release spring. From the texture of the fabric inside of the shoe. I personally wear the shoe in a more casual sense, however the shoe could be a perfect running or exercise shoe as well. I wear the Climacool frequently and receive lots of positive reactions from others around that I go. I look forward to the future of shoe and different concepts that are put forth to the public. ... read more
These pants are great looking. Material seems a little thinner then all my tiro 14 training pants. Don't know if I like or dislike that yet. When it's a bit colder out I probably won't be looking to wear these haha. ... read more
This is my favorite pair of pants. They work in any color. They are always comfortable and I never get hot in them. Great to relax in. I can do anything in them. Only complaint is the pants get caught on poky things sometimes and the thread sorta comes out a little and that's annoying. It can get holes pretty easily. If you are doing an athletic activity and happen to fall, you will definitely ruin the pants. I fell and barely slid, but a massive hole was torn in the pants. I will be purchasing another pair. ... read more
I think these pants are great. I'd buy a dozen if the sizing was just a bit better. I have these in L and XL. The L is quite small for a relatively tall guy like me (190 cm). They're somewhat short and tight around the thighs and calves. The XL is great in terms of length and overall fit, but the waist is made for a man twice my size. Everything is quite a bit looser than the L while still retaining a slim, tapered cut, but the waist is like it just got out of hand and exploded sometime between the L to the XL,. and is way too big. That being said, I do use both of the sizes (for slightly different purposes). Your mileage may vary, of course, but if you find a size that fits you, it's a terrific buy. ... read more

The command structure of the Twelfth Corps at Gettysburg was an awkward thing, justifiable for a brief time, perhaps, but beyond that a mischief-making incongruity. The immediate problem went back to the Pipe Creek Circular. In order to implement its provisions, General Meade had appointed General Slocum to command both the Twelfth and Fifth corps, the army's "right wing" as Slocum saw it. Although the circular's provisions were never implemented insofar as the withdrawal of the army to Pipe Creek was concerned, Slocum considered himself to be a wing commander throughout the battle. If every echelon of the corps was to have a commander then, four officers in the chain of command had to step up one rank in an acting capacity. General Williams, who ranked second to Slocum in the corps, became its acting commander in Slocum's stead. Brig. Gen. Thomas H. Ruger, commander of the Third Brigade of the First Division, moved up to Williams's place as commander of that division, Col. Silas Colgrove of the 27th Indiana Regiment took command of Ruger's brigade, and Lt. Col. John R. Fesler received temporary command of the regiment. 1
As it happened, the Fifth Corps remained under Slocum's command for only a short time before passing from Slocum's control on the afternoon of 2 July, if not before, when Meade ordered it from reserve behind the right to the battle on the Union left. Yet Slocum's "wing" organization continued in effect, even though the wing consisted of only the Twelfth Corps and units sent to its assistance. This meant that Williams, Ruger, and Colgrove continued in their acting assignments throughout the battle. This added echelon in the Twelfth Corps command was to increase awk-

Game-wise, I always thought Lugia's Aeroblast was like one of the most boss things ever, and that gave me a real vibe that Lugia was something awesome. Ho-oh didn't have the same feeling, and I do prefer Lugia's more simplistic design.
The Power of One is really the icing on the cake, because it sets Lugia apart as something else, something with a caring understanding and makes it a truly unique legendary. What has Ho-oh had in the anime? A random sighting in the first episode, and then again in one of the last in the original series?
Lugia really resonates more with me, plus I got Silver because I liked it better way back when. Lugia it is for me.

|Batteries Plus deserves a AA grade for its recession strategy.
How Batteries Plus Recharged During the Recession
TheStreet) -- Batteries Plus seems an unlikely place for business owners to learn lessons about managing through a recession. Yet the 500-plus franchised chain, specializing in retail-sold and business-to-business battery and light bulb products, was able to ride out the recession better than other franchise systems by choosing to invest in its business. By spending the last four years improving its infrastructure and business model and focusing on "controllable outcomes," Batteries Plus has been able to grow same-store sales, on average, by 12% over the last five years.HARTLAND, Wisc. (
Last year the company opened 59 stores and signed a record 49 franchise agreements that would put an additional 71 Batteries Plus stores on the map. It helps to have the backing of a private equity firm. Batteries Plus is one of two dozen consumer-focused companies owned by Atlanta-based private equity firm Roark Capital. One of the biggest maneuvers Batteries Plus implemented was to expand its product line during a time when many other companies were retreating from the market. The company made the decision to expand into light bulbs in 2010. Light bulbs? Yes. The light bulb industry is growing rapidly, particularly because of the incandescent bulb phase out laws initiated in 2007 that are intended to spur the adoption of more efficient bulbs by consumers, Batteries Plus says. More than 300 of its stores now sell light bulbs. CEO and President Russ Reynolds shares more lessons from the recession. What is it about your product line that allowed it to be recession-proof? Reynolds: We're all familiar with the fact that we're more reliant on portable energy. Whether it's a tool or how we communicate over the phone -- today we carry it with us. It requires rechargeable batteries. We can't take credit for the fact that the demand drivers have been strong, but as we headed into the recession the first thing that we needed to do was focus on our industry and the controllable outcomes in the business.

How are you?
Nice collage work, use of original work, layering textures and use of images. I would like to see this in a more limited palette, something that would blend srv with his surroundings then maybe a vibrant counterpoint colour. Just a personal thought, good work though, hope you dont mind.

Inappropriate behavior in the workplace with a twist.
The shoulder rubbing might apply, depending on how it was seen. Did it make people uncomfortable? Obviously yes, so I see why he was terminated.

This has got to depend in tbe culture of the workplace. One of the keys to a highly functioning team (at DH's workplace) is to encourage being personal and familiar.
But they also bring their dogs to work. I forget how "uptight" some offices can be.
Tres harsh Maman.
Exactly. And as a manager, rather than "ignore" the combination, I would ask the whiners why Tbey are uncomfortable and ask if they need assistance pulling said stuck out of ass.
Tres harsh Maman.
The shoulder rubbing would apply - it can contribute to an overly sexualized environment. So would posters, mugs, calendars, anything.
He was warned once, and let known that if it occurred again that termination would occur, so they did the right thing in letting him go (and allowing him to resign, but bye bye unemployment).
However, I do think there was wiggle room here, but it sounds as if your people need a large dose of SH training pdy.

Call me a hardass but I think it was justifiable to let him go. If he did this exact thing and was warned about, a year is not too long to remember that it's the company policy not to rub other people's shoulders. If the lady in question was never warned before then the warning is appropriate with the letting go if she repeats the same behavior in the future.
I'm curious as to what the company policy is, it seems weird. After all what's the difference between a shoulder rub and a hug? A hug is more bodily contact, but I suspect hugs are not against company policy.
This is actually a post for pdy to tell us that he is in a position of authority and how he actually got to "terminate" someone...*wink wink*.
