Wireless Connection on Xbox 360 Slowing Down, Can’t Stream Netflix and Play Games Online
So the story is I have had my Xbox 360 with the wireless adapter, set up with my Linksys wireless G router for a couple years now. The thing has been working great, fast connections, and never any problems. We have been able to stream movies through Netflix, and play Halo online with not connection problems.
About a week ago however, the connection seemed to slow pretty bad. I thought it was the Internet, so I called the cable company and had them reset everything. I ran some speed tests on my computer that was also linked wirelessly through the router. The speed was a little on the low side, but should have still worked fine for everything I was doing online with the Xbox.
When I try to play halo online, I was connected online and it seemed to take a little longer to get a game, but once I got into a game, it was unplayable. My connection would be so bad, either the opponents or I would just be bouncing lagging all over the place the whole game. It makes it impossible to play. A lot of the time it would show my connection at full green bars though which really confuses me.
Then when I try to stream videos through Netflix, the movies title pages would load, but when I select one to play, it just site there and can’t seem to load the movie. This had gone on for about a week.
So I decided to pull out my modem and connect the xbox directly to the it with an Ethernet cable. This fixed the problem. So now the question is, is the xbox wireless adapter going bad, or is my wireless router going bad? It there a way to test? Is it common for one of these to start slowing down like this? Its strange that the connection is still there, it’s jut not very strong.
Any info would be greatly appreciated before I start buying new equipment. Post comments below! Cheers!

Will My Home Beer Clear Up Much After Bottling?
I just finished bottling my home brew, and I felt like it was in the fermenter for plenty long (2.5 weeks), but the beer still looks a bit cloudy in the bottles.
Will the beer clear up much while it gets carbonated in the bottles?
The Beer is still a bit clowdy in the bottles and I am a little worried that I should have left it in the fermenter a little longer. At first glance it appeared pretty clear when I started filling up all the bottles, but after getting them into the bottles and holding them up to the light, I can definitly tell that they are still a little cloudier than most beers.It seems like it would be ok if it was a Hefinweizen, but its not.
I was just wondering if the beer would clear up at all while sitting in the bottles becoming carbonated?
Also, does the beer continue to ferment in the bottle before you refrigerate it? If so, how much more alcohol will be added to the beer?
Feel free to post a comment if you have any info that might help!

A Cool New Rescued Dog Blog, California Dog Rescue
Hey everyone, just wanted to Spread the word on my buddies new rescued dog blog. He started this just a couple months ago, so it is still in the beginning stages, but it is a great idea, and really starting to come together. The Site is called the Rescued Pooper. The Rescued Poop is a support group for dogs that have been rescued or abandoned and dogs that are currently looking for a new home. Our goal is to tell the story of each poop saved from abandonment, abuse, or neglect.
The site is basically just a collaboration of stories from different dog owners who have rescued or adopted abandoned dogs. It is very cool, you can submit a story for your dog along with a couple pictures of him/her. Also it is great if there is a dog in need of a home and trying to find a good owner for it. Post your dogs story HERE at the Rescued Pooper!
I already submitted my dogs story there. Check him out, his name is Captain!
