It's all about your emotions. You're feeling terribly hurt, crushed and devastated. You're furious in a way you've never known before. You feel true hatred for the first time ever. You're terrified, scared and distracted. You don't know what's coming next.
In a word, you're emotionally overwhelmed. But before a mobbing target can effectively respond to the shunning and onslaught of personal and professional attacks, he or she must control the emotional flooding that mobbing produces. There are four reasons why it is imperative that to do so.
First, emotional flooding can be deadly. Anytime we are emotionally overwhelmed, we are prone to stress-related illnesses. It is not unusual for mobbing targets to suffer heart attacks or strokes or develop cancer shortly after being mobbed. Many are made to feel so worthless and unwanted that they commit suicide. Others, such as former LAPD officer Christopher Dorner who went on a murderous rampage in the wake of his termination from the police force, have been known to kill their coworkers, managers and others in a desperate effort to gain power over a situation which has left them feeling utterly powerless. The documentary, Murder by Proxy (available on Netflix at the time of this writing), is an excellent exploration of the role mobbing plays in many workplace shootings, and how some may have been avoidable had the targets been treated more humanely.
Second, emotional flooding confuses us, making it difficult to concentrate and get our work done. When our coworkers and managers are out to get us, becoming an unproductive worker is hardly in our best interests. A mobbing target must work extra hard to avoid any perception they cannot do their job, and do it well.
Third, it is impossible to effectively respond to aggressive attacks and escape the mob (by getting a new job, for example), if you do not have control of your emotions. At the very time you have been made to feel completely worthless and loathed and utterly crazy, you must muster the poise, confidence, and control to respond to repeated accusations of misconduct, find a new job, and perhaps even pursue a lawsuit. It requires the strength and emotional control of a Navy SEAL to respond to mobbing, so there's no more critical time to gain control of your emotions than when they are understandably exploding inside of you.
And finally, anyone who is emotionally overwhelmed is a drag to be around—the mobbing target almost always finds themselves alienating their support system at the time they need it most because they are constantly babbling about how awful their situation is and how furious and depressed they are. No one can withstand hearing that for very long before they're ready to run for their lives from the pitiful friend they wish that they could help but would rather just escape. If you're being mobbed, chances are your friends and family are feeling overwhelmed themselves; give them a break from your emotions by gaining control of them.
To control your emotional flooding, understand that there are three primary emotions that mobbing provokes: anger, fear and sadness. Each of these emotions is experienced as a range of feelings. Unchecked anger turns to fury and rage; unchecked fear turns to paranoia; and untreated sadness turns to anguish and serious depression. All of these emotions are normal and natural responses to threats to our survival, but they become maladaptive when they are not controlled. To control the painful feelings associated with mobbing, here are a few steps you can take to gain greater control of your emotions when you are under group attack.

Unique situation...
December 11, 2003, 09:46:18 AM »
I am in a unique situation--I went to a top 20 undergrad school but ended up with a terrible UGPA (think 2.6). Like everyone else with low grades, I steadfastly maintain that my GPA in now way isa reflection of my intellect or preparation for further study.
Because of my interviewing and case skills, I scored a spectacular and competitive post-grad job at a Big 4 management consulting firm. For the past 8 years I have done strategy work for public sector and manfacturing clients. I am now a Senior Manager (the level below Partner) and desperately want to make the switch and go to law school.
My LSAT score is high (176) and my experience is impressive--my UGPA, though, seems to make admissions people become quesy, even at tier 2 and 3 schools (I have made appointments at some schools in the area to feel things out). They seem to say that it alone is simply a deal-breaker.
I haven't yet applied (will be next Fall), but there must be something I am missing. HELP!!!!!!

There is no way you won't get into ANY law school with a 176...well, I'm pretty sure anyway...Which schools did you talk to about this?
The 176 will help break the 75th % LSAT...your GPA will be below most 25% marks, but if you apply at schools that are trying to raise their LSAT scores, I think you've got a shot. Put your numbers into the LSAC (lsac.org)calculator...You've got excellent work experience--apply at schools that really emphasize this.
I have read that George Washington automatically admits anyone with a 3.3 index. I don't know what your index number would be, but you could check it out on LSAC. I have heard of people getting into Duke and Georgetown with sub 3.0 GPAs and big LSAT scores (which is what you have!).
You can (and should) always write an addendum explaining the poor GPA.
If all else fails and you really want to go to law school, you could always start at a lesser school (but I think you'll get into a first tier school for what it's worth), prove that you can get the grades, and transfer...Just apply to a wide range of schools.
Hope this helps.

I spoke to folks at Georgetown and Univ of Virginia. They both made it very clear that my UGPA was so sub par, that it would be a significantly uphill battle, even with my experience. Both said I was articulate, bright, and clearly capable of success in law equal to that in consulting BUT my gpa made it hard for them to want to admit me over a 3.8 kid from an Ivy with 1 or 2 years of i-banking experience. They were supportive and hoped I would apply, but made it clear my chances were slim. I see there dilemma--from a numbers perspective, I would bring down their average GPA while not really helping their average LSAT (already around 170). I have to say, though, that they were very respectful.
I also stopped by a beautiful little tier 2 school. The admissions asst said law school was rigorous and on paper, I simply don't have what it takes. I tried to remain positive and requested suggestions for strengthening my application. She suggested I consider ultra-low tier or night programs, ideal for people with my "low level of previous academic achievement." I was mortified. I am not sure I had ever felt so stupid and out of my league, and I do high-intensity/high-dollar work. She also implied I was bit older than most of their students and might not fit in al that well anyway (good god--I am 31!).
Let's write that off as a fluke--she was clearly off base. That said, I still get the feeling I am UN-ADMITTABLE. I simply don't get it... B-schools would be thrilled to get someone with my background. Either I have run into unrealistic and snobbish admissions folks, or I am simply un-admittable. Thoughts?

I don't know what to say. That's rough. Look at
. There are a few people listed with low GPAs and super high LSATs. If they are being truthful, which they may not be, then I still say you have a shot.
Georgetown, it seems, can be kind of selective b/c they're the best law school in a giant legal market. You may be aiming a bit high, but I still think you should give it a try. Have you thought about Northwestern? They basically don't admit anyone without work experience, so it's a slightly older crowd and they seem to understand that real world experience can make up for a lot. In fact, I think it's almost impossible to get in there without WE. Just a thought. It still may be difficult for you to get in, but I think you should try!
Like I said, check out GWU. They claim to automatically admit people with the 3.3 index. 2.9-3.29 are maybes.
Okay. i just looked up the admission index for GW...
.044*LSAT+.443*GPA-5.502 is the formula. Unless I've miscalculated that gives you a ...3.39. You might want to retry that. I didn't have a calculator. That means you're in at GW and that is definitely not a bad thing!
I say apply and see what happens.

I know this is probably a ignorant question, but... where did you find the index equation and cut-off? I didn't see it on their site; I am guessing there exist books with the indices in them, right? Is this 3.3 cut-off a real-deal, they admit to it thing or a rumor?
Thanks for the info, it makes me feel MUCH better.

I believe the book is called How to Get Into the Top Law Schools, by Richard Mantouk? (I think that's his name??).
A bunch of different admissions people talk about admissions policies (including GW's). The book is 3 or 4 years old, so it may not be accurate, but if this was once their policy, I'm thinking it may still be...
Don't worry so much. You will get in somewhere! And probably somewhere pretty decent--maybe not top 10-14, but I bet you can go first tier...GW is a good school!
Make sure you apply early next year--this will probably help.
P.S. The index equation is on LSAC.org. You may not be able to access the index formulas until you've registered for LSDAS. But if you click on the ABA guide icon on LSAC.org's homepage, there is a LSAT/GPA calculator that will tell you your chances at varying schools--this will make you feel much, much better--once you see that your chancesare quite good!

I was able to get access to LSAC and the admissions index info. I imagine schools are rather loath to printing any absolute cut-off, so how was the GW 3.3 determined? Where would I find other similar guidelines, if only to guide me in the application process?
I think we all realize that these cut-offs and indices are just one component of the process. Someone with high grades and a stong LSAT who comes off as an idiot in an admissions essay that is also riddled with typos and whose LORs all say he is at best a mediocre employee/student isn't getting in to any decent schools--I just want something to guide me. With an UGPA like mine, the traditional 25/75 split charts simply don't help
The few trusted peers I have mentioned my goals to are struck by the insane opportunity cost of the endeavor (leaving a $165k/yr job to rack up $125k in debt in order to get a $80k/yr job (and that's just hopefully!)). Thoughts? Clearly the old, you have to do what makes you happy argument comes in, as does, if you don't do it, you'll regret it. I really want to hear some con arguments.

Well, I am sure any glaring mistakes in an application would decrease your chances of being admitted. As far as I know, GW is the only school that has ever openly admitted that they have an index number cut off (I believe it may b/c they get like 15,000 apps a year). Obviously, only choose people that you trust to write your LORs. If you're really moving up where you work, I would imagine your boss is happy with you...
Certainly, don't go to law school if you don't want to. If you like your current job and it pays well, why leave it?
Perhaps you should get an MBA? Once you run the place, you can just hire lawyers to work for you!
Your friends make a good point about the money, but money isn't everything. It sounds like there's money in what you're doing now, so an increase in salary shouldn't be the reason you're going to law school.
I'd suggest buying some books about the subject to see if law is for you or not...or talk to some lawyers you know to see what they say about it.
I would imagine that no one is 100% sure that law school is for them. I certainly don't. I think I will enjoy school, but I don't know what actually practicing will be like...and I'll have to wait for 3 years to really find out.
As far as your job goes, I'm imagining you're working crazy hours? You could think about going to school part time...I don't know if it's possible, but it's an option.
Well, good luck. Do what you think is right...

Hope I can help with my contribution here...
sounds like the real question is WHY have you decided to change careers and head for law? I am hearing the money is not really a major concern. Also-- I am an older applicant and have researched this issue --there are schools that embrace and seek older applicants. In fact, more and more do because they want life experience brought to the courses and find maturity and diversity are also key factors in successful law practice.It always bugs me that just one admissions rep can injure the spirit of a driven and committed applicant.
Much of this sounds like a matter of more self-seeking -- what is the bottom line reason -- the 'draw' to becoming a lawyer.Somewhere, somehow, we have to be in deep touch with ourselves and believe we, as individuals, have something REAL important and worthwhile to contribute to society through law, rather than money or winning the approval decisions of admissions reps at costly competitive top tier schools pumping out molded power monger graduates with high numbers. Some of the best attorneys around went to less competitive schools, and through their own drive and self-belief, have built their own entrepreneurial practices doing the best work in law. And I have witnessed attorneys from the "top schools" lose BIG TIME in important cases and initiatives because their approaches were way off base.
Much of any career choice is based on lifestyle decisions and determining what their own true inner mission, self-worth, and sense of purpose is -- how and where they want to fit in the puzzle of society.
So...relax...and reflect...and rely on yourself more than what Ms. or Mr. X says at the XYZ school on top of the hill.
Hope this presents a fresh new idea...

I think the issue in your situation is do you want to practice law or do you want to have a degree from a top law school. If you scored a 176 on your LSAT you are obviously smart enough to learn enough to pass the bar. If you really want to practice law just find a school you will enjoy for three or four years. If you are only intersted in the prestige schools, I would say apply and if you don't get in move on to the next thing in your life.

SACRAMENTO – A California Lottery player was just one number away from splitting Friday's $450 million Mega Millions jackpot with a winner in Florida. But, the California player is still walking away a winner – a big $1,860,934 winner!
The winning ticket was purchased in Daly City (San Mateo County) at the 7-Eleven store located at 411 Gellert Boulevard. The ticket matched the numbers: 70, 59, 30, 28, and 39, missing only the Mega number 10. We won't know who this winner is until they claim their prize, which they can do during normal business hours at any of the nine Lottery District Offices.
Winners are strongly encouraged to sign the back of their tickets in ink, keep them in a safe place where they'll remember and familiarize themselves with the Lottery's Winners Handbook, which can be found here. And remember, you must have your original ticket when claiming any Mega Millions prize, so be sure you don't forget and leave it at the store!
Since the Mega Millions jackpot was hit in Florida on Friday, Tuesday's jackpot will start at $40 million.
Mega Millions is played in 44 states (plus the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands). Draw times are Tuesdays and Fridays at 8 p.m. PT. The draw closes at 7:45 p.m., so players must buy their tickets by then for that draw. Ticket sales resume (for the next draw) at 7:50 p.m. Tickets are $2 and can be purchased from any of the more than 22,000 California Lottery retailers or one of the more than 4,000 Lottery Lucky Retailers. Please visit the California Lottery's Mega Millions site for more information on how to play.
Mega Millions is a part of the Lottery's continued effort to create more winners and more importantly, earn more money for California public schools!
The California Lottery is a $6 billion enterprise based in Sacramento. It is one of the few state agencies that is a revenue generator, not accepting taxpayer dollars from the State's General Fund. Its mission is to provide supplemental funding to California schools while simultaneously supporting local communities. In FY 2016-17, the Lottery created 83 new millionaires. Ninety-five cents of every dollar spent by our players goes back to local communities in the form of contributions to public schools and colleges, prizes and retail compensation. The California Lottery urges its customers to play responsibly and within their budgets. If you feel you have a gambling problem, or know someone who does, you can get help at 1-800-GAMBLER.

Oscar: An Adoption Story of a Kenyan AIDS Orphan
A couple of years ago Pastor and Deaconess Meeker met Oscar at a medical clinic in Kenya sponsored by LCMS World Relief. (Dr. Anita and Oscar, right) When Oscar's sister brought him to the medical clinic, he was diagnosed as stage four HIV, the last stage that progresses into full blown AIDS.
Oscar was critically thin and was suffering from malnutrition. He had to be carried in because he was too weak to walk.
Dr. Anita and Dcns. Lorna carried him to the examination table and immediately left the room and began to cry. After an emotional and cathartic cry, they returned to examine Oscar thoroughly. They discovered that Oscar was not only in stage four HIV, but he also suffered from TB, malaria, and had a blood cancer that manifested itself in a tumor on his tongue.
"Adoption" in Kenya
Pastor and Dcns. agreed to adopt Oscar. Adoption in Kenya isn't the same as we know it in the U.S. Culturally, the Kenyan people are very proud of their families and the tribal culture leads to a view of family wherein the family members possess a high degree of caring for each other when possible. However, with the HIV/AIDs epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa, many families "adopt" many children from relatives and the local village. When this takes place, an adoption means that you will provide for the adopted child financially and in any other way possible. That way extended family can afford food, clothing, medicine, and education. Oscar is one of eight children whom the Meekers have adopted over the last couple of years and visit regularly.
A Common and Horrifying Experience
Oscar is a typical example of how too many people are treated out fear of HIV/AIDS, especially because they don't understand it. Oscar's parents had died so his grandparents were raising him and his 14 year old sister. Once they realized how sick Oscar was, they moved Oscar and his sister out of the home and into another grass thatched roof, mud hut, which didn't even have a door on it. His sister dropped out of school to take care of Oscar. When she learned about the medical clinic coming to the village, she helped Oscar get to the clinic through a combination of carrying, pulling, and holding him up as he tried to walk.
Oscar's grandparents owned a still and were alcoholics. They moved Oscar out to the mud hut to die. They didn't believe anything could be done and didn't want to spend money and resources on something they couldn't take care of. This is a common reaction that remains in many villages in the countryside. They just don't know better. The grandfather, at one point, told Oscar and Dennis, "There is no life in that boy!"
As the Meekers followed up with Oscar's medical treatment, the doctor was adamant that they must treat the TB first because that would kill him if it were left untreated. The TB treatment took 9 months. However, the first 60 days of treatment was with a medicine that was not compatible with the HIV treatment. So the HIV treatment didn't begin until first 60 days of TB medicine was completed. Once the TB was cared for, they took on the blood cancer. The doctor had hoped that the HIV medicine (ARVs) would fight the cancer. This did not happen. Instead of taking care of the tumor, it caused the tumor to grow and multiply. The tumors traveled down his tongue and esophagus and finally into his stomach. His stomach began to bleed and he required a blood transfusion, an extremely risky option in Africa.
The doctor chose to add a powerful cancer treatment, which was six doses, but it took such a toll on Oscar that the doctor stopped treatment at the third dose. The doctor thought that the fourth dose would kill Oscar because of its strength and the combination of the other drugs. The doctor was not confident that Oscar would make it. But he did. The bleeding stopped and health began to improve.
Five Minutes!
It wasn't an easy road to walk. The KEY to HIV treatment is two-fold. First, the ARVs (antiretroviral medicines) must be taken twice a day, 12 hours a part. Oscar's med time was 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.. Now here is the hard part, especially for a 12 year old, they MUST be taken at the exact time. There is only a FIVE MINUTE window to take the ARVs. This means that Beyond this five minute window, he would risk the chance of the ARV's backfiring because his body would begin to build an immunity to the effectiveness of the medicine and then the doctors would search for another possible combination of meds. There are only so many combinations that could work.
Why Kenyan Food Crisis is Worrisome
The second part if the treatment is a BALANCED HIGH PROTEIN DIET. Without a balanced diet, the ARVs become increasingly less effective. The effectiveness of the ARVs without the diet dramatically decreases the body's ability to fight off infection and disease. AIDS develops when any illness takes hold and the body can't fighd it. Therefore, any cold, flu, along with a whole host of diseases could easily kill Oscar. (Why Yellow Corn is a Sign of Desperation)
As long as Oscar continues his regiment of ARVs and a balanced diet, he will be fine.
Think about (Oscar, one year after treatment) hard this must be for parents and family members to keep a 12 year old on the regiment of HIV treatment. This takes patience, perseverance, and a will to follow through on behalf of the caretakers and patient.
God At Work in the Gifts of Family and Medicine
By God's grace, Oscar beat the odds, even without the final three doses of the cancer treatment. Oscar returned to health. He beat the cancer. The doctor said it was a miracle. He was 10 years old when this all started. He is now 12 and his family is dealing with the typical (Left, Oscar. very dark background whited by Pr. Sell) issues a family faces with any 12 year old.
The Word of God teaches us how God cares for His people through vocation. Oscar's story is an example of God's presence in a person's life. God uses the many blessings of His creation to care and heal people, which is rarely miraculous but sometimes is, often healing takes place through the normal way of life. He uses doctors and nurses, deaconesses and pastors, musicians and grandparents, medicine, cars, airplanes, and a poor orphaned sister. Just think of all that went into bringing the medical clinic a reality so that Oscar could be healed through the gifts so many of us take for granted. He uses people who can give financial means to purchase medicine and make these clinics possible. What a difference anyone of us can make.
Please keep Pastor and Deaconess Meeker in your prayers as they continue to work hard to help and care for Oscar and so many other people in need. What complicates their work is the fact that there are many "one parent orphans" whose mother is also very sick with AIDS or Malaria or TB - or a combination of all three, just like Oscar.
There is Life after AIDS
A year after Oscar was treated and was doing well, he visited his grandparents. They visited and had a meal. Afterwards, the grandfather told Dennis with a smile, after shaking Oscar's hand, "Now there's life in that boy."

Life is interconnected and so are the topics on this blog. It might be cooking and gardening one day, yoga the next, knitting and sewing, or hiking and then bird watching followed by recycling or composting. They are the parts that bring humble joy to my life of voluntary simplicity in Montana.

Christmas Fudge Cookies
To me, a huge part of the holidays has always been defined by baking. This time of year, my electric mixer is whirring away on the reg, and there is a constant smell of sugary, chocolatey baked goods wafting out of the kitchen. I mean, what's a holiday without holiday baking? No holiday at all, I say. The usual rotation is made up of sugar cookies and fudge cookies decorated generously with drizzles of chocolate and various colored sugars, and the requisite chocolate chip cookies dotted with red and green M&Ms (I'm hoping and praying the peanut butter ones come in holiday colors this year). After they've all cooled to a manageable temperature, I'll put them into plain, white boxes, tie them all up with festive silver and gold ribbons, and deliver them to doormen, neighbors, friends, and coworkers, feeling a little bit like Santa Claus the whole time. One of my favorite parts of the holidays, always.
You can click on over HERE for the recipe for these fudgy, chocolate cookies. They're winners every time. xo

Actually, we have visited on many trips to Galveston, so it feels nostalgic. The atmosphere is quaint, and we have experienced great service with each visit. We have visited as a couple and with ourfamily;moreover,the experience remained pleasant. While affordable, it is not exactly reasonably priced either. The views are nice with a look out at the gulf. Parking may be hard to access and limited.Overall, it is one of the more mature adult dining places on the island that gave us a pleasant experience.

|Q & A Araguaia Corridor
|Q & A Araguaia Corridor
General note
The profiling of Araguaia Corridor Project by the BJF has been simplified in order to make the basic concept understandable to anyone. For detailed answers or answers not part of this Q&A, please send a mail to email@example.com
Which organization is the architect of this project?
The Araguaia Corridor project was initiated in 2005 by the Brazil-based Jaguar Conservation Fund (JCF), headed by renowned Dr. Leandro Silveira. He is one of the world's leading jaguar conservationists, with twenty years of experience in jaguar conservation and ten years of acting as the president of the JCF. He is featured in the book 'Wildlife Heroes', which was released in March of 2012, presenting 40 of the worlds' most renowned wildlife conservationists. As the initiator, the JCF is responsible for the overall management and coordination of the corridor project. In recent years an Alliance of Corridor Partners has been created, of which BJF is a devoted part.
Another reason for the BJF wanting to help realize JCF's initiative as best as we can, is that it may be a relatively small organization compared to Greenpeace or other large institutions, but it has the guts nonetheless (as well as the experience and the knowledge) to take on a massive conservation project like this. Such a bold undertaking deserves the support of many, the BJF among them - now and in the future.
What is the process of realizing this corridor ?
(by all Corridor Partners)
Ultimately, the local communities, their inhabitants, the indigenous industrial farmers, all those who live and work within the corridor zone, are the key to the success of this massive conservation project.
According to Brazilian federal law, 20% of any land owned by farmers in the Cerrado region should be kept in its original natural state. Compliance with this law has been monitored more strictly in recent years, as many farmers have ignored this law in the past or found ways to circumvent it.
The governmental body IBAMA approaches farmers who have not adhered to the 20% rule. They allow them a certain time-frame to correct their 'mistake,' urgently 'recommending' them to convert 20% of their land back to 'original natural habitat' within the Araguaia Corridor Zone. IBAMA will introduce these farmers to JCF's corridor project. Subsequently, JCF and the local farmer have direct contact with each other. JCF's task is to ensure that the right 'mosaic of protected lands' will be (re-)created.
In addition, small patches of land (critically important or strategically located) may be purchased by the Corridor Alliance to be converted into Private Natural Heritage Reserve if the landowner can not do so himself. This obviously requires funds that need to be made available for this purpose by the Corridor Partners. This procedure of buying land and converting it into 'Private Natural Heritage Reserve' is the exception and not the rule.
How many black jaguars will be saved through this corridor project?
Actually, that is not the point at all. We are not setting out to save (just) one particular color variant of the jaguar species. Our aim is to preserve and restore the habitat of the jaguar on such a large scale that it will save thousands of species and add millions of trees to the reforestation.
Do local landowners want to be part of it?
In the past few years, farmers have actually become more receptive towards conservation in general, and to reserving a part of their land for nature-conservation in particular. This is due not only to international pressure to preserve the Cerrado and the Amazon, but also - especially even - to the increased awareness among young Brazilians. Farmers are more often keen to cooperate and to become a part of the biggest nature corridor on the planet.
How will the land be protected once it is part of the corridor?
Farmers and landowners who join the Corridor Program are very committed. They are proud to be a part of the corridor project. Some of them have even changed the legal designation of their 20% land into 'protected natural reserve'. They protect their 'natural reserve' against illegal poachers in a way that no governmental body ever could. Having successfully worked together with the Corridor Alliance, such educated and environmentally conscious farmers are in fact the Star-Ambassadors for the corridor project.

what size of crate is best?
OK well Nyx hasn't been crated since she was 3 months during the day other then when she was about 6 months for a week as she went through a quick lets chew things when we weren't home. Reason for not keeping her crated is i had the crate in my room( which is in the basement) for night time crating. Porsche our older dog had separation anxiety and would pee on her bed, so we starting leaving Nyx out n no pee on the dog bed.
so now back to my question what size of dog crate should i use for Nyx, I am tired of having to fight with Nyx to get out the door and if i give her a long chew treat she wont touch it for 2 weeks. she 25 1/2 inches at her shoulders now, so not sure if i should go with a 2-x large metal kennel or just a x-large metal kennel. I rather not have a kennel that is to large for her.
I also think this will help my mother out when I am not home and she can put Nyx in the kennel when I leave and she can bring Nyx out again after i leave.
The crate should big enough for your dog to stand up and turn around in it. and you should take your dog collar off when leaving him along in the crate. When I got a crate for my Standard Poodle the crate came with a warning to not leave your dog in the crate with it collar on.
i know about the collar part.. ok heres a question cause how does this measurement go. lol is it height, length width. i having a total brain fart today and can't think of it right now.
(48 in. x 29.5 in. x 32 in.)
only thing going in the kennel is her blanket her stuffy rotty that she had since a pup doesnt chew on in just cuddles it and her.
I have a small and brought a crate to carry him when I first got him.. I put Marty in the crate and locked the door and picked the crate by the handle and the door flew open and my dog jumped out ! '
I was so lucky this happen inside my house and not outside. The design of the crate was horrible. The crate was held together by plastic flaps and the weight of Marty dog pulled the flaps apart .
Last edited by Barkingdog; July 27th, 2013 at 06:54 PM.
well i think she has done growing tall wise she might fill outwards a bit but not to much as she is a mix breed. the x-large kennel online says for 90 lbs and the 2-x is for 110 lbs and Nyx is 100 last time i took her to get weighed.
i would love to take her but not a lot of places in my small town that sell the kennels are a nice price that allow dogs to come in. might go up to a grooming place near my place that does sell a few kennels n stuff for dogs.
i am looking at another metal crate kennel for her.. and i usually go by weigh or even height. as i didn't even think to look up by breed.
being a rottweiler mix and her beating what they average standard female rotty max height and she beats the height for the other mixes to..
I am not a fan of crates for long term storage of dogs. Dog crates sized so your dog can do no more than stand up, turn around and lie down would be banned at most zoos.
If you are only worried about her trying to bolt out the door when you leave then I suggest a heavy duty dose of training in manners for that dog. Failing that (though you should do that anyway ) can you not simply shut her in a room and Then your mother lets her out?
If she is going to be crated for more than a few hours then I would get the biggest crate I possibly could. Large enough for her to stretch out two times over so when one spot gets hot from her body heat she can move to a cool spot.
What I did when mine were puppies was put the crate, with the door open, in a big pen we built or in our gated kitchen. Warning, gating in a room may expose that room to considerable damage as dogs might eat costly hardwood cupboard doors, chew through drywall and even badly injure themselves. However we did not have any of that.
We made our own gates, they are much sturdier and higher than any baby gate you could ever buy and I suggest you go this way, if you do at all, with a dog as big and powerful as a Rottie. My dog is a Lab, those gates are still up, they are handy for containing Mr. Muscles while he dries off after a swim.

Margo Roth Spiegelman is the enigma at the center of the novel Paper Towns that is now a major motion picture. Everyone seems to see her in a different way. Time to figure out who she really is according to author John Green. Character analysis is easier if we apply Hacker methodology.
When researching John Green's Paper Towns and its main character, two things stuck out.
- The male lead, Quentin Jacobsen (portrayed by Nat Wolff in the movie), is rather bland and he is fairly forgettable as he is merely a blank canvas readers can project themselves
- The female lead, Margo Roth Spiegelman (played by Cara Delevingne), appears to be seen differently by every character of the book
But surely author John Green had a character in mind. An actual person and not just a concept like Quentin. After all, on his official Tumblr, he meets criticism of casting thin, white Cara Delevingne as follows:
I have never written a central female character who was described as thin other than Lindsey Lee Wells. Also, Margo and Q are two of the only white-identified people I've written…
Time to have a look at who John Green thinks Margo is, concerning looks.
The Elusive Looks of Margo
It appears that John Green makes a conscious point of leaving Margo be as elusive as possible. There are many myths surrounding her, including her having been part of a circus, and her looks are basically as non-descriptive as it gets. I was fairly convinced that she was described as curvy but I wasn't too sure anymore after our author Franzi confronted me with the fact that there are several versions of her in the book and then she reminded me of the fact that the deconstruction of idolized people is the central message of the book.
So I decided to research her. But because I couldn't read the entire book in any kind of reasonable timeframe, I had to find another way. While I was doing this, I realized that it could help a lot of people analyzing characters at least in a cursory way, for homework, school or book clubs. I decided to use modern technology.
Software You Need
To get this done, you need the following things:
- Windows Users: Install Notepad++ because it offers a range of functionality that we need, mainly line numbers that are most often used in programming. The program is free.
- Mac Users: Install Atom Text Editor because it offers a range of functionality that we need, mainly line numbers that are most often used in programming. The program is free.
- An eBook of Paper Towns in any format on your computer.
In order to make the eBook legible by either Atom Text Editor or Notepad++, you need to convert it to the TXT format. To do this, run the file through this converter and make sure to select the proper formats in the two fields at the bottom. Follow the instructions on the screen and download your TXT.
Now you're all set. So let's get to the interesting part.
Finding Margo
Open your TXT in Atom Text Editor or Notepad++ and here's where we need to apply some more IT knowledge, seeing as we're already misusing programmer tools. We need to realize exactly what we're looking for and how texts function.
- We need to need to know physical descriptors of Margo
- Descriptors are usually attached to possessive pronouns such as his or her. However, there's more than one female character in the book, we will have to go with the one unique identifier we have of Margo's: Her name.
If you use a Mac, go to Find and then click on Find in Buffer. Or simply hit CMD+F.
If you use Windows, go to Search and then click on Find. Or simply hit CTRL+F.
And then, all you do is type Margo and hit Enter. Her name lights up in the entire file. So all we have to do is hit Find Next and read around the highlighted names.
What Margo Really Looks Like
The results are quite surprising as a lot of physical description only comes up fairly late in the book when the myth of Margo Roth Spiegelman has shattered and the girl behind the myth has been revealed. This is where the line numbers come in handy. My converted book has 6022 lines. So here we go.
Line 686:
I swiveled around when I heard the window open, and Margo's blue eyes were staring back at me. Her eyes were all I could see at first, but as my vision adjusted, I realized she was wearing black face paint and a black hoodie. "Are you having cybersex?" she asked.
Line 1062
She opened up the purse and pulled out a full bottle of nail polish so darkly red it was almost black. "While you calm down, I'm going to paint my nails," she said, smiling up at me through her bangs.
Line 1064
It was a good color of nail polish, and Margo had nice fingers, thinner and bonier than the rest of her, which was all curves and soft edges.
Line 1147
She laughed, waved her hand at me, and said, "You just love my big ass."… In the end, you could not say that Margo Roth Spiegelman was fat, or that she was skinny
Line 1149 is the first time we need to interpret a bit because Margo herself says she's bigger than other girls.
Margo continued. "'I'd loan you these shorts but I don't think they'd fit right on you.'
Line 1244
Margo didn't play any sports, but she liked to run — I sometimes saw her running by herself listening to music in Jefferson Park.
Line 1358 reveals that Margo is actually quite short.
The window was a little high for Margo, so I put my hands together and she stepped a socked foot onto my hand and I boosted her up.
Line 2962 calls her curvy
Margo gave me like five pairs of jeans last week because she said I could wear them better, which isn't even true because she's so much more, like, curvy.
Line 5414
Lacey and I are telling Ben and Radar everything we can think of in hopes of helping them find Margo. Reminding them of her. Reminding ourselves of her. Her silver Honda Civic. Her chestnut hair, stick straight. Her fascination with abandoned buildings.
So there you go, this is what Margo Roth Spiegelman, the woman of many faces, looks like. For real. Does she look like you envisioned her?

Incremental Backups
Keeping copies of one's system just in case something breaks has been a long-time bane of sysadmin's lives, albeit as hardware has moved on things have become easier. The days of tape backups are gone for most of us and the problem is reduced to one of keeping mirrored disk images of our systems.
However, great as mirror copies are, more often than not it's not the last copy you want to restore, in the event of a file corruption that's gone un-noticed for a while, your backup may well contain the corrupted file and be useless to you. Once you decide to keep lots of copies of your system, storage becomes a problem, and once you decide to keep selective copies of your system, there's always the chance that you'll miss something you want.
Enter incremental backups
Although there are many software packages out there which will make a meal of your backups, they tend either to be expensive or not very good – certainly from the home user's perspective, so here's how we do it very simply and very reliably, for free.
First we need a list of files / directories we really don't want to make copies of, let's put this into /etc and call it backup.exclude;
Now we need a backup script, let's call it incremental_backup.sh and put it in /usr/local/bin;
export RSYNC_PASSWORD="mypassword"
export PATH=$PATH:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
DEST="<backup server>"
BACK=`date "+%A_%d_%B_%Y_%H"`
OPTS="–force –ignore-errors –delete-excluded –exclude-from=$EXCL –bwlimit=$SPEED –delete –backup –backup-dir=/$BACK -rvlpgoDtO"
rsync $OPTS / root@$DEST::$HOST/current
To activate this automatically at midnight every day, use crontab -e and add the following line;
0 0 * * * /usr/local/bin/incremental_backup.sh
Not all we need to do is make sure we have a backup server to copy our files to, start with a password file. Edit /etc/rsync/secrets and insert a line that says;
Then make sure that only the root user can read it with;
chmod 700 /etc/rsync/secrets
Not move onto the final part, edit /etc/rsyncd.conf and create a file as follows;
use chroot = yes
hosts allow = 0.0.0.0/0
secrets file = /etc/rsync/secrets
read only = no
uid = root
auth users = root
[<my hostname>]
path = <backup storage>
The bits you need to watch for are;
- <my hostname> in rsyncd.conf needs to match up with the name of the machine you will be backing up, find it by typing hostname on the command line.
- <backup storage> is where you want to store the copies of your files
- You may want to change "mypassword" if security is an issue, this needs to change in the secrets file on the backup server, and in the incremental script on the machine you are backing up.
- You may also want to limit hosts allow to the IP range of the machine(s) you want to back up
How does it work?
On the first pass the script will make a copy of everything on your machine not listed in the backup.exclude file, and store it on the server in the location specified, under a folder called current. If you ever need to restore the most recent backup of any file, this is the place to look, current should always be a complete and up-to-date snapshot of the system at the time of the last backup.
On the second (and subsequent passes) the script will make copies of any files that have changed since the last backup, storing them again in the current folder. The previous version of each file is however not overwritten but moved into an archive folder who's name will be the date of the backup, so for example you end up with a folder that looks like this;
# ls
current Saturday_05_June_2010_03
Thursday_10_June_2010_03 Friday_11_June_2010_03
Saturday_12_June_2010_03 Tuesday_08_June_2010_03
So you can find historical versions of any file simply by looking in the folder with the required date on it. This is of course one bit missing, these incremental folders will accumulate and eventually fill your disk, so you need to do some housekeeping. Use your crontab -e again and this time add;
0 0 * * * find <backup storage> -maxdepth 2 -name "*_2010_*" -ctime +10 -ls -exec rm -rfv {} \;
Which will ensure you will only keep the last 10 days worth of incremental backups.
In order to make this work you will need to have the following packages installed on your systems;
- ssh (openssh-client+openssh-server)
- rsync (on the machines to badk up
- rsyncd (ont he backup server)

By now, we know the routine, whether the dateline is Newtown or the Navy Yard or a school in Columbine.
By now, we know the routine, whether the dateline is Newtown or the Navy Yard or a school in Columbine.
Once the carnage is grimly detailed, the experts are marshaled to explain to us �how it could happen.� Invariably, the usual people will say the usual things about the role of guns. At some point, someone might mention the nation�s broken mental-health system.
And little changes.
Seven months ago, The Dispatch�s Mental Hell series detailed not only the ramifications of an overwhelmed mental-health safety net but also several proposals in the works to improve things.
But after the nation just marked the sad anniversary of the Sandy Hook elementary-school slayings, the record of accomplishments remains decidedly modest in dealing with mental illness, which touches 1 in 4 families.
Polls show that we get it: Gallup found that Americans are more likely to blame the mental-health system than easy access to guns as the main factor behind the mass shootings. Public policy, however, lags behind.
�Has the world changed since the tragedies of Newtown and the other tragedies? Sadly, little has been done to get those who need help the help they need,� said U.S. Rep. Tim Murphy, a clinical psychologist from the Pittsburgh area who introduced legislation this month to shift the focus of the mental-health system to treating the most-seriously mentally ill.
�Those who need help the most are getting it the least because the nation�s mental-health system is broken,� said Murphy, a Republican.
In early June, President Barack Obama told a national conference on mental health: �We can help people who suffer from a mental illness continue to be great colleagues, great friends, the people we love. We can take out some pain and give them a new sense of hope. But it requires all of us to act.�
Here is how the need to act is stacking up at the federal level:
� Early this year, Obama proposed spending $130 million to help teachers and others recognize the signs of mental illness, especially in the young, and help them get treatment. Congress has not yet allocated that money.
� The Excellence in Mental Health Act � bipartisan legislation with Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, as a co-sponsor � stalled, as did similar bills in the previous two sessions of Congress. However, this month, the Senate Finance Committee passed a scaled-down version as an amendment to an unrelated Medicare measure.
The act�s main sponsor, Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., said she hopes for Senate passage in early 2014. Ten states could set up pilot programs allowing Medicaid coverage for those using community mental-health centers.
� Obamacare outlawed annual or lifetime dollar limits on 10 �essential� health benefits, including mental-health and substance-abuse treatment. The White House says more than 60 million Americans are newly eligible for benefits.
� Rules finally were developed to fully implement the Mental Health Parity Act, passed by Congress in 2008. Simply put, if a health insurer offers mental-health benefits, they must be equivalent to those covering physical health. Generally, that includes inpatient and outpatient services, emergency care and prescription drugs.
In combination, parity and Obamacare �will have tremendous impact of historic significance,� Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman of Columbia University�s Department of Psychiatry said in a webcast.
� On Dec. 13, the day before the first anniversary of the Newtown, Conn., school shootings, Vice President Joe Biden said $100 million is being allocated to mental health: half to the Department of Health and Human Services so community health centers can hire more mental-health professionals, and the rest to the Agriculture Department to improve rural mental-health facilities.
Critics pooh-poohed the amount, noting that some states are spending more than that.
�It�s a good start, don�t get me wrong,� said Dr. John Grohol, founder and CEO of Psych Central, in an online column. �But it�s a drop in the bucket compared to the $4.35?billion taken out of the mental-health treatment economy since 2009.�
He said the money would barely hire one professional for each of the country�s 750 community mental-health centers.
The ongoing need is the key reason that Murphy, the Pittsburgh congressman-psychologist, introduced legislation. It would change federal privacy laws in certain circumstances to give parents and other caretakers access to their children�s medical records if they have a serious mental illness. Another provision would allow involuntary commitment based on �need for treatment� rather than requiring that someone be a danger. It also would redirect federal aid.
�We have fewer psychiatric hospital beds, fewer outpatient-treatment options, restrictions on the use of medications that can and do help those who are mentally ill, too few psychiatrists and psychologists and clinical social workers, especially child and adolescent specialists, and especially ones who are trained and specialize in treating the seriously mentally ill,� Murphy said when he rolled out his bill.
�We have too many barriers that prevent doctors from communicating with parents of the sons and daughters with persistent serious mental illness. We have federal barriers that block treatment, federal dollars that go to grants for programs that do not work.�
Action at the state level generally gets better reviews, although advocates say much more is needed in Ohio.
Parents still struggle to find help for their children, patients wait months for care, and the mentally ill too often find themselves in jails, nursing homes or homeless shelters. Laws can make it hard to hospitalize the sickest against their will, and they prevent doctors from discussing cases with the parents of adult children.
�Since the Sandy Hook tragedy, there has been a lot of talk but little or no investment to help stop these tragedies in the future,� said Terry Russell, executive director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness-Ohio.
�The neglect of the mental-health system for the past 25 years can only be addressed by making sure everything we are currently doing meets the needs of Ohio citizens suffering from mental illness.�
The biggest improvement cited is Gov. John Kasich�s initiative to expand Medicaid, which will provide health coverage to tens of thousands of adults in need of treatment for mental illness and substance abuse, and provide additional state aid for community-based services.
But Laura Moskow Sigal, executive director of Mental Health America of Franklin County, worries the word isn�t getting out. Her organization has an eight-week waiting list for free counseling, but many of those people probably now could get help through Medicaid.
Even with more people eligible for aid, they still need a place to get treatment, Sigal said. The federal Bureau of Labor Statistics found in 2010 that 89.3 million Americans live in areas with an inadequate number of mental-health professionals. �That was a pretty staggering number, in my mind,� she said.
Other state-level efforts:
� This month, the Ohio House approved a bill lowering the barriers to family members seeking court-ordered mental-health treatment for a relative.
�Our goal is to keep our loved ones with mental illness from becoming so ill that they are ready to hurt themselves or someone else,� said Rep. Margaret Ann Ruhl, R-Mount Vernon, one of the two main sponsors of the bill. It�s now in the Senate.
� A month ago, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine called for a re-examination of how Ohio treats the mentally ill after a 42-year-old man was shot and killed by police after a three-hour standoff in Yellow Springs, about an hour southwest of Columbus. The man had never received the mental-health treatment he was supposed to get after an earlier run-in with authorities.
A spokesman for DeWine said on Friday the review has not begun.
� Since 2012, 1,200 people with mental-health issues have been moved out of nursing homes and into community-based care.
� This month, state officials announced that $1.5 million would be invested in community projects serving 24 counties to help nonviolent offenders access community-based mental-health and addiction services upon release from jail or prison.
Tracy Plouck, director of the Ohio Department of Mental Health, acknowledged that gaps in care persist, but she said the state is moving in the right direction.

The soundtrack to SSX Blur will be released on February 20th, 2007 as the result of a joint partnership between EA and Nettwerk Music Group.
The music included on SSX Blur was written and composed by legendary electronic madman Junkie XL. "To me, SSX is a classic video game franchise. Most challenging in the creation of the SSX music was to find a sound for the game," says Junkie XL of his involvement with the project. "Of course I wanted to put some proper Junkie XL in the music, but it also had to fit into the arcade style of the game. It has somewhat of a fairy-tale vibe to it, so the challenge was to find a combination of these 2 ingredients. Another thing I wanted to add to the music were classical electronic music influences, so you hear many nods to different styles of electronic music, dating back to the 60's and going to current."
For the creation of the soundtrack Junkie XL teamed up with long-time friend Andre Ettema and assistant Sam Estes to aid sound design aspects of the score. The trio holed themselves up in the studio for 5 weeks working on the project. "When I look back now, I remember the great times we had making this music. I just moved into a new studio space when we started this job, so it was the first music we created in the new studio," recalls Junkie XL. "It also reminds me off the fun we had playing soccer in the parking lot on my studio lot. I felt it was important to keep the whole process fun as the game and the Wii should be good fun when you play it. I lacked the big mountain with snow here in my studio so the fun we had playing soccer reflected the fun we would have had on a mountain doing some snowboarding ourselves. You listen to the music and you definitely hear the fun!!!"
The album features 15 tracks with song titles such as "Rail Yard," "Dark Territory," "Love Park," and "Blackcomb."
As for how Junkie XL came up with much of the music, he swears it was the result of his past life experiences. "In another life I was a World Cup snowboarder, going from Terrain Park to Terrain Park, laying some sick tricks down for the local boarders," he exclaims. "I thought it would be fun to feature some of the names of the best snow parks and hills all over the world. I even featured my favorite parks in China (Wanlong Mellow) and my favorite in Japan (Norikura). The titles are my way of saying hello to all my friends at the different snow parks."

In the default configuration, OpenWrt bridges the wireless network to the LAN of the device. Most wireless drivers do not support bridging in client mode (see Bridged Client Mode Issues), therfore the traffic between LAN and the wireless client must be routed. The relayd package helps to implement a bridge-like behaviour with DHCP and Broadcast relaying comparable to the proprietary Broadcom WET mode.
The steps outlined below cover the process of putting the radio into client mode and linking it with the LAN interface with the help of relayd. It is important to notice that the 192.168.2.0 network in the above picture is not going to be used by any clients, but relayd requires the lan interface be in a different subnet to work.
Configuration with Luci When using Luci you also need to install the
luci-proto-relay package.
OpenWrt PseudoBridge HowTo for TL-WR703n or any other device based on package
relayd and
Repeater configurations here! Both ways, bridged and simple repeater.
If you wish to set your OpenWRT as a Wireless Ethernet Bridge through the Web UI, rather than through SSH, then scroll to the section at the bottom of this page.
These steps are for configuring throughh SSH (or similar). If you prefer to do it through the Web UI, then scroll down to the next section, near the bottom.
The changes below assume an OpenWrt default configuration, the relevant files are:
Before doing any actual configuration, the wifi interface must be enabled in order to be able to scan for networks in the vincinity:

/etc/config/network and add a new interface, for example
wwan, with proto set to
config 'interface' 'wwan'
option 'proto' 'dhcp'
Note that no
ifname is required here since the wireless network will reference this section later.
UCI CLI commands:
uci set network.wwan=interface uci set network.wwan.proto=dhcp uci commit network
Supposed we want to connect to the network called "xmff-relay", the previous scan result revealed the following information:
/etc/config/wireless, locate the existing
wifi-iface section and change its network option to point to the newly created interface.
Change the
mode option to
sta (Station) and alter the encryption options to match those of the target network.
config 'wifi-device' 'radio0'
option 'type' 'mac80211'
option 'channel' '11'
config 'wifi-iface'
option 'device' 'radio0'
option 'network' 'wwan'
option 'mode' 'sta'
option 'ssid' 'xmff-relay'
option 'encryption' 'psk'
option 'key' 'secret-key'
UCI CLI commands:
uci set wireless.radio0.channel=11 uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].network=wwan uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].mode=sta uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].ssid=xmff-relay uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].encryption=psk uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].key=secret-key uci commit wireless
Finally restart wifi using:
wifi down; wifiNote that if you receive
device or resource busy or
command not found errors, you may need to issue a
reboot command and reconnect before continuing. If you have connected successfully to the existing network,
ifconfig should reveal that wlan0 (or whatever your wireless interface is called) has an IP address on the existing wireless network.
You should now be connected to the internet (you will need such connection for step 3).
Note that the router is connected to the internet via the wireless link (as a client of the AP), but the computer you are using to communicate with the router is not. Try to
ping a web site from the router. If it is successful, the wireless link is functioning and that is sufficient to proceed to the next step. Do not worry that your computer cannot access the internet yet.
If the
relayd package is not present on the system yet, install it using:
opkg update opkg install relayd
In 12.09 and trunk versions it is also required to enable the relayd init script to function properly:
/etc/init.d/relayd enable
Back to
/etc/config/network add another new interface, this time with the special protocol
config 'interface' 'stabridge'
option 'proto' 'relay'
option 'network' 'lan wwan'
The existing
lan network and the newly created
wwan network are grouped together here.
UCI CLI commands:
uci set network.stabridge=interface uci set network.stabridge.proto=relay uci set network.stabridge.network="lan wwan" uci commit network
Find the IP address of default gateway for the network you will be repeating. You should be connected to it since step 3, thus you can use the route command to find out:
route -n | grep UG
Then, still in the network configuration, add the following options under your lan interface, substituting gateway with the IP you just found:
config 'interface' 'lan'
option gateway '192.168.1.1'
option dns '192.168.1.1'
UCI CLI commands:
uci set network.lan.gateway=192.168.1.1 uci set network.lan.dns=192.168.1.1 uci commit network
Please note, the ip address of this router (and only this!) must be in a different subnet than your existing main network, otherwise relayd will not work. This will be changed later (see below in chapter "apply changes"). This safes us an additional change on administration PC to match subnet. Note also: On final configuration, any clients on OpenWrt will use the same ip range of your main network.
Since DHCP requests from LAN will be answered by the wireless AP the router is connecting to, the local DHCP server must be disabled in order to avoid collisions later on.
/etc/config/dhcp and locate the existing DHCP pool for LAN and mark it as ignored:
config 'dhcp' 'lan'
option 'interface' 'lan'
option 'start' '100'
option 'limit' '150'
option 'leasetime' '12h'
option 'ignore' '1'
It also possible to simply remove or comment the whole section.
UCI CLI commands:
uci set dhcp.lan.ignore=1 uci commit dhcp
For enabling IPv6 properly These options have to be set for lan interface to
option ra relay
option ndp relay
option dhcpv6 relay
UCI CLI commands:
uci set dhcp.lan.ra=relay uci set dhcp.lan.ndp=relay uci set dhcp.lan.dhcpv6=relay uci commit dhcp
In contrast to true bridging, packets forwarded by relayd are handled by the normal routing system internally, this means they're also affected by firewall policies set on LAN.
/etc/config/firewall and locate the existing LAN zone definition, add the new
to it in order to apply the same policies on LAN and the wireless client.
config 'zone'
option 'name' 'lan'
option 'input' 'ACCEPT'
option 'output' 'ACCEPT'
option 'forward' 'ACCEPT'
option 'network' 'lan wwan'
OpenWrt, by default, ships a firewall configuration which disallows forwarded traffic within the LAN zone, means packets are not allowed to travel between multiple interfaces within it.
As outlined above, the forward policy was set to ACCEPT and both the
lan and the
networks are configured as members of the LAN zone.
UCI CLI commands:
uci set firewall.@zone[0].forward=ACCEPT uci set firewall.@zone[0].network="lan wwan" uci commit firewall
If your equipment is multi-SSID capable, besides the wired interface, you can also bridge the network into a new wireless network. Just create a new network in access point (AP) mode under
config wifi-iface
option device 'radio0'
option mode 'ap'
option ssid 'RepeaterWirelessNetwork'
option encryption 'psk2'
option key 'RepeaterWirelessPassword'
option network 'lan'
UCI CLI commands:
uci add wireless wifi-iface uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[1].device=radio0 uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[1].network=lan uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[1].mode=ap uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[1].ssid=RepeaterWirelessNetwork uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[1].encryption=psk2 uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[1].key=RepeaterWirelessPassword uci commit wireless
Reload the DHCP service.
/etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart
Reload the firewall.
/etc/init.d/firewall restart
Reconfigure the wireless network.
wifi down; wifi
Finally we will need to change our ip on the lan interface.
| It is required that the lan interface on this router is in another subnet than your main network .
If the target network uses the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet, you must change the LAN IP address (not the gateway) to a different subnet, e.g. 192.168.2.1 .
You can determine the assigned wifi address with the following command:
uci -P/var/state get network.wwan.ipaddr
. /lib/functions/network.sh; network_get_ipaddr ip_wwan wwan; echo $ip_wwanUCI CLI commands to change the default LAN IP address to a different subnet is:
uci set network.lan.ipaddr=192.168.2.1 uci commit network reboot
At this point, the relayed client configuration should be finished.
After this the relay should work, however you will have trouble reaching the router from the client network if the client ip is not changed. To get to it you'll need to manually set the IP address on your computer to an IP address on the same subnet (like 192.168.2.201 if you set the router lan ip to 192.168.2.1).
This is kind of tedious, but you can set things up so you can get it from the client network.
ifconfig and take note of the IP address assigned to wlan0. Then tell the relayd that this is the routers IP address with the following config in /etc/config/network:
config interface 'stabridge'
option ipaddr '192.168.1.35'
UCI CLI commands:
uci set network.stabridge.ipaddr=192.168.1.35 uci commit network
You should make sure the main router is statically assigning the relay router the same IP address all the time.
Alternately, it is possible to perform all of the above automatically using hotplug. To do this, add the following lines to /etc/hotplug.d/iface/<xx>-relay:
# enable access from client network [ "$INTERFACE" = wwan ] || exit 0 [ "$ACTION" = ifup -o "$ACTION" = ifupdate ] || exit 0 . /lib/functions/network.sh; network_get_ipaddr ip wwan; uci set network.stabridge.ipaddr=$ip uci commit network
Now, each time the wwan interface is brought up, or its IP address changes, hotplug assigns wwan's IP to stabridge.
These steps are for configuring throughh SSH (or similar). If you prefer to do it through SSH, then scroll up to the previous section, near the top.
These steps are for this (aka Wireless Ethernet Bridge) are exactly the same as the above instructions, but will be done through the Web Interface, rather than through a SSH connection. This has been tested on the Meraki MR18, with the LuCi web Interface.
I will be refer to this second router (that has OpenWRT) as the "Client Router". In my references, it will have an IP of 192.168.1.1, and later on 172.16.16.154 as well. It will be connecting to the "Main Router", which will have an IP of 172.16.16.1.
