The Front Bottoms
SPOTLIGHT SHOW • It's easy to root for a couple of 20-somethings who quit their jobs to pursue their musical dreams. New Jersey-based duo The Front Bottoms did that a few months ago, ditching their home and steady streams of income to tour in support of their new album, "Talon of the Hawk." The group will headline its first concert in Salt Lake City on Friday. Singer/guitarist Brian Sella said he and drummer Matt Uychich have been "roughing it" since their decision to play music full time. "We've been sleeping on [Matt's] brother's couch for the past couple months and just trying to make things work," he said in a recent telephone interview with The Tribune. "I stay at my girlfriend's house a lot and that's kind of where it's at right now. I sold my car a little while ago all for rock and roll." The duo's passion is evident in the music. Sella's heartfelt lyrics waver from sad to hilarious often in consecutive lines while Uychich's frantic drumming carries their extended jams. During live shows, the duo is joined by Tom Warren (bass) and Ciaran O'Donnell (keys/trumpet/guitar).
When • Friday, June 21, doors at 6:30 p.m.
Where • The Shred Shed, 60 E. Exchange Place (360 South), Salt Lake City

Doug Stanhope
spotlight show • The last time the foul-mouthed and hilarious stand-up comic visited Salt Lake City, he recorded a live album. This time, he isn't recording anything, but he is still worth checking out for his off-kilter views. The 46-year-old likes performing in Salt Lake City. "S- towns have better audiences," he said. "People appreciate you coming." After downing three or four cocktails in his dressing room, Stanhope said, his focus sharpens. "If I say it, I mean it," he said. And he doesn't feel the need to toss out a few obligatory Mormon jokes. "It's like going to a party to go complain about a party."

Fall Out Boy
spotlight show • The emo pop-rockers are back with a new album and the modestly titled "Save Rock & Roll Tour." Bassist, lyricist and tattoo enthusiast Pete Wentz recently finished hosting the second season of "Best Ink," a competition on the Oxygen network. In a conference call with The Tribune and other media, Wentz talked about the importance of body art in his life. "I got a keyhole on my arm when our band sold a million records the first time, from 'Under the Cork Tree,' " he said. "It was just symbolic to me at the time. It meant a lot. I don't know if I ever told anybody that." He became interested in tattooing as a teenager, inspired by the cover of Guns N' Roses' album "Appetite for Destruction," which resembled tattoo art. As for Fall Out Boy, the band that once called it quits regrouped. "We said we were always gonna do it again if the music was right," Wentz said. "It wasn't [for a while]. We wrote a couple songs here and there that didn't make sense as Fall Out Boy songs and we didn't get back together. And when we finally did, [singer] Patrick [Stump] and I came across songs that were right for us."

Andrew Dice Clay
Spotlight show • The Dice Man not only has an extended stand-up show at Las Vegas' Hard Rock Hotel but he has scored an acting coup: a role in Woody Allen's next film, "Blue Jasmine," alongside Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin. The movie opens in late July. "The first meeting with Woody was pretty brief," Clay said in a telephone interview. "I didn't go in there expecting anything. … He's one of the greats of all time." Clay can't discuss much about the role, but he will be playing a part that's "not what I'm known for. … Dice isn't around in the movie." The acting gig comes after successful turns in "Entourage" and "Raising Hope," in which Clay played exaggerated versions of himself. While some people are surprised by his acting career, Clay said he has been playing a character onstage for 35 years. During this one-night-only performance, he will be prepping material for an upcoming Madison Square Garden show, only the fourth time he has headlined the famed hall. And in early 2014, his memoir will be released. "When it rains, it pours," Clay said.

Jason Isbell
spotlight show • Muscle Shoals native Jason Isbell, one of the torchbearers for Southern rock, headlines the last night of the Utah Arts Festival. Isbell, 34, was one of three songwriters in The Drive-By Truckers before going solo more than five years ago. His new album, "Southeastern," was released June 11. In a recent telephone interview, he said it is a thematic departure of him. "The recording process was a lot more personal," he said. "It's important to be honest with your audience." Under the direction of producer David Cobb whom Isbell recruited after hearing Cobb's work with the late George Jones Isbell finished the album the same weekend he married singer and violinist Amanda Shires. He wrapped up in the studio on a Thursday at midnight. On Friday he was at the rehearsal dinner, Saturday the wedding, and then departed for a honeymoon in Costa Rica on Monday. He admitted that he sneaked into the studio for a few touch-ups on Sunday. Bob Dylan is a constant inspiration for Isbell. On his left arm, Isbell has a tattoo of a line from Dylan's exquisite "Boots of Spanish Leather": "Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled / From across that lonesome ocean."

Tedeschi Trucks Band
spotlight show • It is summer, so that means that Derek Trucks is on the road. "That's been the trend for the last 18 years," the 33-year-old slide guitarist said in a recent telephone interview. Another trend is visiting Red Butte Garden. The Tedeschi Trucks Band will perform Monday along with Trucks' wife, Susan Tedeschi, and nearly a dozen other musicians. The show offers fans a high-energy soul stew of Southern rock, blues and gospel. With the couple's kids in tow, Trucks and Tedeschi and their road-tested ensemble will debut songs from the upcoming album "Made Up Mind," due in late August. "We're already playing half of it," Trucks said. "We couldn't sit on those tunes for that long." Despite winning a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012 as a member of the Allman Brothers, Trucks still has a hunger. "I don't fully accept that one," he said. "I've only been there for 15, 16 years. Five, 10 percent, I'll accept." But, he quickly added, he didn't hand the Grammy back.
When • Monday, June 24, at 7:30 p.m.
Where • Red Butte Garden, 300 Wakara Way, Salt Lake City
Tickets • $44 for garden members, $49 for general public, $34 children ages 3 to 12
Water Liars
spotlight show • There are dozens of bands playing at Crucial Fest next week, but Water Liars alone would be worth the price of admission. The Southern duo of Justin Kinkel-Schuster (vocals/guitar) and Andrew Bryant (drums) unleash a unique sound that pairs perfectly with a pack of cigarettes and a PBR. Their new album, "Wyoming," is alternative-country at its finest, with elements of soul, funk and blues mixed in. Kinkel-Schuster's poetic lyrics flow over beautifully simplistic instrumentals, and Bryant often joins in for howling harmonies that take the record from good to great. In a recent phone interview, Kinkel-Schuster said diverse musical interests helped to create their sound. "We're just trying to take all that different stuff that we've sort of soaked up, and grind it up and hopefully spit it back out in such a way that it's somehow our own," he said. "We've both spent a lot of time being in bands and we weren't very happy with how they went, so we're just trying to make ourselves happy by playing music that we would want to listen to." Kinkel-Schuster said his writing is heavily influenced by Southern writers Barry Hannah and Frank Stanford, and he employs personal stories and characters to craft his songs. "I try to do a good mix of both," he said. "If there's not at least a little bit of me in a song, it's hard for me to connect to it and that lessens the impact of it. So there's always gonna be a little tiny bit of me in there, but I try to find a balance. … I'm not interested in having total control over what [listeners] may get or not get out of a song." While most of their tracks are sorrowful, Kinkel-Schuster said they will mix in some up-tempo jams to appease the Crucial Fest crowd. "They can expect a good bit volume and a good bit of soft stuff. Hopefully they'll get a dynamic rock show. That's my objective."

Naughty By Nature rapper arrested for running from police
Listen to Naughty By Nature on iHeartRadio
Naughty By Nature rapper Treach is in hot water with the law for allegedly running from police in Union City, New Jersey.
TMZ.com reports that on Thursday police initially attempted to stop Treach -- born Anthony Criss -- for driving 55-miles per hour in a 25-miles per hour zone. Police say the emcee took off and led them on a ten block chase, allegedly running four red lights in the process.
When he stopped his car, Treach supposedly ran towards the squad car, forcing police to draw their weapons.
Treach was arrested and slapped with misdemeanor charges of evading police and driving on a suspended license.
Police also discovered that he had warrants for traffic cases and a child suppose case. On Friday he posted $15,000 bond and was released.

If you don't know then the answer is nothing.And i got access to the connection. Now my question is "What Now?"
Try searching and reading this is all covered in other forum posts and on the wiki.Could any one give me a brief summisation of the tools that BT2 has that I should be using. e.g. how do i know if anyone else is cracking my wep etc.
Given that there are loads of tools, and i don;t know what any of them do...could anyone relate from their OWN experience which tools they used to get inofrmation about the target network.
There is no magic red "H4x0r 1t n0wz" button you actually have to do research and learn. No one is going to hand you the answers on a silver platter if you don't at least attempt to help yourself to the abundance of information around which is exposed by practicing a little search'fu or google'fu.

Grandmaster Chris Chan / U.S. Wing Chun
Grandmaster Chris Chan founded the U.S. Wing Chun Kung Fu Academy over 50 years ago and is currently the Chief Instructor. The Academy is headquartered in San Francisco, California with branch schools spread out all over the world.
Grandmaster Chan's students include men, women, and children ranging in age from 7 to 70+ years old. Everyone is welcome to visit and gain the benefits of the invaluable instruction he has been providing for over 50 years.
Grandmaster Chan Kam Shing (Christopher Chan) was born in Hong Kong in the Year of the Dragon. As a teenager, he trained in local recreation center learning basic kung fu exercises. One day in 1955, a friend invited him to witness a kung fu challenge match on a rooftop in Hong Kong. It was there that he saw Wing Chun Kung Fu for the first time. He was so impressed with the effectiveness of the system that he immediately sought to become a student of the late Great Grandmaster Yip Man.
At Yip Man's Hong Kong School, the young Chan met and trained with Bruce Lee. When Bruce left for America, he kept in touch with Grandmaster Chan. Bruce wrote a letter telling Grandmaster Chan how the American public knew nothing about Chinese martial arts. He also mentioned how easy it was to obtain students and earn a living teaching because of Wing Chun's superiority to the other arts taught in America. He advised Grandmaster Chan to apply for immigration to the United States so that he too could simultaneously attend college and earn a living teaching kung fu.
Over the years, Grandmaster Chan has shared his knowledge and experience by instructing thousands of students from all over the world in the art of Wing Chun. In addition to providing effective self-defense skills, his teachings have transformed many students, enabling them to improve themselves in many areas of their lives, especially their health.

By Theresa Goffredo Herald Writer
Red Curtain Foundation has once again combined a great story line with solid acting in their production of "Everything in the Garden," a dark comedy that will have you laughing and gripping your seat.
This is one of Edward Albee's finest stories, which highlights the character flaws in humans. The transformation of the two main characters is subtle and bearable to watch only because it happens rather slowly, as the two sink into the quicksand of their own greed.
Jenny and Richard are a married couple struggling to live beyond their means. They are still in love but fighting about money is as constant as a dripping faucet.
Richard doesn't want Jenny to work but Jenny can't live like her neighbors and country club friends unless she has more money.
Jenny is then visited by a mysterious Mrs. Toothe who offers Jenny a job and lots of money.
It's unclear what the job is and Jenny refuses, though she takes a pile of $100 bills from Mrs. Toothe and she and Richard go out to a fancy dinner.
Jenny's beautiful garden means the world to her and she dreams of one day having a greenhouse. She swoons with thoughts of having the kind of money that would buy such things and she gives in and takes the job.
The rest of the play revolves around the big reveal: Jenny's new job, Richard's reaction and how it comes to consume their lives, their love and their future.
The acting by these two main characters is superb. Jenny, a prim, attractive 1960s housewife, was played by BriAnne Green. Green gave Jenny that single-mindedness: Keep your eyes on the prize, which in this case is money.
To achieve that goal however Green gave Jenny a calculating aloofness and made her as cold as a couple of ice cubes in a highball. All with chilling results.
The affable Richard was played by Justin Tinsley, who adroitly turned this jolly loving husband into a sobbing wreck and then into a monster.
Mrs. Toothe was played solidly by Vicki Lynn Maxey, a veteran actress who gave a veteran's performance here as a devil disguised in a business suit.
Jenny and Richard's country club dweller and millionaire Jack is played by John Klise, who has that tough job of addressing the audience while in character. It can come off as goofy and awkward, but Klise nailed it.
Director Scott Randall said he wants Red Curtain Foundation to "push the envelope of what community theater means in the area" and I think with this show he has pushed for high-quality performance.
He said he couldn't possibly be prouder of what the cast and crew have accomplished, as indeed, he should be.
"Everything in the Garden" starts at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday for its final weekend at Historic Everett Theatre, 2911 Colby Ave., Everett.
Tickets are $13 and $16.50. Go to brownpapertickets.com or www.historiceveretttheatre.org.

In this section of our project, we have included that portion of the Grand Modell which came to be enclosed by the city walls, along with adjoining wharfs along the Cooper River. This area of Charleston in fact features a different streetscape from the rest of the city, even though the walls themselves no longer stand. Nearly all of the city's remaining cobblestone streets lie within this district, for example. Most of the narrow alleys also lie within or immediately adjacent to this area. Click on Walled City for a more detailed history of this district.

People who are dissatisfied with wood stoves say they're dissatisfied because of the hassles and problems they have when starting fires in them. Starting a fire in a wood stove is a considerable undertaking when compared to starting a fire in a gas or oil furnace. They require only turning up the thermostat.
For best results in starting a wood fire, you should have a well-thought-out "standard operating procedure."
Diligent wood-stove operators have all the necessary firestarting materials readily available at the stove site. Materials include newspaper, 2-inch cardboard strips, kindling, small pieces of cordwood and matches.
Separate four or five full pieces of newspaper. Bunch and compress some newspapers and lay them on the bed of the fire box just in front of the door. Lay a few 2-inch strips of cardboard on top of the newspaper, and place several pieces of small kindling wood or dry bark on top of the cardboard. Finally, place one or two small pieces of cordwood split to about a 2-inch diameter on top of the pile. Open the stove vent as far as it will go and light the fire (Figure 1).
Figure 1Layer materials to start a fire.
After the cordwood pieces have ignited and burned for several minutes, add one or two larger pieces of wood. It's a good idea to turn and bunch the burning debris together before adding the larger pieces. Keep the air vents open for several minutes or until the larger pieces are well ignited. Then adjust the vents according to the desired heat output of the stove.
In terms of flammability, cardboard strips about 2 inches wide and 6 to 8 inches long are good materials. You can start most fires without cardboard, but if you have cardboard boxes around the house, this is a useful way to get rid of them. The cardboard cuts up easily if you use a bread knife with a serrated edge. Studies show cardboard probably produces a faster and more positive start up.
Exceptions to the standard procedure exist. Most of the factors discussed in the following section apply to conventional airtight wood stoves but not necessarily to stoves with a catalytic combustor.
Experienced and knowledgeable wood-stove operators know they can be confronted with variable factors when starting a fire. Some variables include:
You can check the general draw of a stove any time by simply opening the stove door and striking a match. If a good draw exists, the flame will bend toward the fire box and may even be blown out by the strength of the air movement. On the other hand, the match may indicate a negative draw, and the flame will bend away from the fire box. If little or no draw exists, the match will burn easily, and the flame will remain upright.
We have identified three basic elements that control draw in a wood stove. They, in turn, control the stove's ability to heat. The elements are:
If the elements are all favorable, you should have no trouble with the draw, assuming the chimney is properly designed and built. If all the elements are unfavorable, it probably would be wise to turn to your alternative heat source on that day. However, if you have no alternate source, you may be forced to try to start a fire under unfavorable conditions.
On a cold, calm day you may find it difficult to light a fire because there's no wind passing over the top of the chimney. If you were to try the match "flame" test, you may find a negative pressure present. The question is, "How do I start a fire under these conditions?"
We assume you have plenty of dry materials. You must emphasize the large temperature differential between inside and outside temperatures. Remember, hot air rises in a proportionate manner — the greater the temperature differences, the faster the rate of rising.
In this case, rather than trying to start the fire in a conventional way, wad five or six sheets of newspaper and place the wad below the stovepipe leading into the fire box. Ignite it (Figure 2). The paper will burn rapidly, warming the chimney. This creates a positive draw. Quickly add more paper and fine kindling. This heats the chimney more and eventually establishes a favorable situation for a continued fire.
The temperature differential between the inlet air at the vent (assume 70-degrees room temperature) and the temperature at the top of the chimney (assume zero-degrees design temperature) is 70 degrees before the fire is started and is 800 degrees to 1,000 degrees after the fire is established. Once the fire is going and you have accumulated some hot coals, you will find the fire will require more frequent attention on a day of this type.

Its unique design allows most meals to be cooked with no more that one adjustment to the moving sun for nearly unattended solar cooking. Typical cooking times average between one to three hours, depending on the type and amount of food to be cooked and amount of direct sunshine. No sun adjustment is necessary if the meal is cooked in three hours. If you're looking for the fastest solar cooking times and the hottest temperatures, take a look at our popular 24" SolaReflex 900 Parabolic cooker on our Internet homepage: www.cleardomesolar.com. You can also find a wide variety of other ingenious money saving solar thermal products on our homepage that heat or cool your home.
Two Pyramid Cooker sizes were available
Note: ClearDome Solar Thermal has replaced the Pyramid cooker with their new Octagon Parabolic Solar Cooker seen below. No flimsy clear plastic bags are needed for trapping heat as with most panel cookers, since the covered pot is completely enclosed inside the triangle-shaped cooking container. Crystal clear heat resistant polycarbonate plastic covers the front and sides of this unique solar cooker, and our 97.4% reflective SolaReflex foil is laminated to the two back walls to re-direct the incoming sun towards the black heat absorber below and the black pot of food (provided by the solar chef). Both backsides and the front adjustable SolaReflex reflectors nearly triple the amount of usable sunlight for superior heat gain inside the cooker. Dry heat temperatures inside the closed cooker will reach well over 200 peak degrees F in about 15-20 minutes in midday sun, so little, if any preheating is necessary. Food is normally considered cooked between 155-200 degrees F. The Pyramid cooker is designed to cook all types of food and not burn or overcook it, even if left on for longer than the normal cooking times. No stirring is needed, and it will bake bread in about two hours and cookies in 1.5 hours using an open baking pan. Once food is placed inside a closed black pot, the pot is placed inside the cooker, both should remain closed until the food is done. Stick food thermometers can verify how well done the food is, but we suggest a simple sun shadow reading to let you know when enough time has elapsed. Once the solar cooking starts, you'll notice the shadow at the back side of the cooker takes about 2.5 hours to move left to the other side, and that's the average amount of midday full sun needed to fully cook an average 1-3 quart meal of meat or vegetables.
Easy sun alignment and cook timing
One slight turn to the right re-aligns the Pyramid cooker for the next 2-3 hours of cooking, if needed. With only a few practice cooking sessions of your favorite meals, you'll be able to easily determine how much sun time is needed to cook to your liking. Making milk or unsafe lake or stream water safe to drink (when not polluted with chemicals) is just as easy. The water does not need to boil to become Pasteurized, only reach 140 degrees F for 30 minutes or 160 degrees for 30 seconds. To completely purify any polluted or salt water, please read about our new Solar Still Water Purifier below.
Please note: these Pasteurization heating temperatures and times have been verified by numerous environmental and scientific groups. Up two three quarts of liquid normally takes about two hours to kill all harmful microbes that could make you sick, so on a bright sunny day, it's ok to set and forget it until the shadow has moved to the left backside. For hazy or light partially cloudy days, let the liquid heat for another hour or more. If you're not sure, verify with a food thermometer.
Since the front clear side of the Pyramid cooker does not have a wall like most box cookers, you can start heating an hour after the sun rises. The front external reflector sits flat on the cooking surface in the early morning or late afternoon, and is elevated in midday sun to maximize the solar reflection to the cooking pot.
Besides being very lightweight, it's virtually windproof so you can cook on most windy days, it's unbreakable, non-toxic at all temperatures, easy to set up and use

ROSH PINA, Israel -- On Track Innovations Ltd. reports that it has received official certification to use MasterCard's Mobile MasterCard Paypass-M/Chip 4 technology in its Wave device, an add-on for smartphones, tablets and PCs that enables them to be used as near field communication transceivers.
The OTI Wave is an audio jack plug-in NFC payment solution. Described as a compact dongle, the Wave is "device-agnostic," able to work with mobile equipment regardless of operating system. It allows users to employ their mobiles as payment media, and to enjoy the benefits of loyalty programs and other incentives delivered by corresponding applications.
"Receiving certification from MasterCard provides essential validation of our technology platform and opens up significant 'greenfield' opportunities for our Wave solution," said OTI chief executive Ofer Tziperman. "We can now begin to target large-scale implementations with banking institutions and payment card providers, as well as projects involving public transportation, institutional memberships, and loyalty and rewards programs."
OTI explained that the Wave possesses three crucial features that will encourage banks to offer it to their clients. First, it uses public-key infrastructure, providing PKI authentication through the add-on audio jack device. The authentication capability allows certificate authorities and banks to ensure customer' secure access to accounts across all devices and channels, the manufacturer added.
Second, it permits any smartphone, tablet or laptop to work as an NFC-secured payment device. It connects to the equipment's operating system through the audio jack, allowing for PIN code authentication and such over-the-air (OTA) capabilities as reloading electronic cash, remote personalization, firmware updates and new applications.
Third, it runs on a Java OS over a secure element, and is open for third-party development, OTI reported. Thus, the Wave is suitable for many applications and markets including mobile payments (debit, credit, e-purse), e-ticketing for transportation and events, PKI support, loyalty and e-coupon programs, healthcare applications and access control.
OTI's Wave can be used for electronic payment transactions even when disconnected from a customer's device, so it can be used with mass-transit gates, vending machines and other self-service apparatus. When the prepaid balance runs low, the user need only plug the Wave into the smartphone or other mobile and replenish the value in the "ePurse."
Information about the Wave and other OTI technologies may be found online at otiglobal.com. The Wave also will be on display at the CARTES Secure Connexions Event at the Paris-Nord Villepinte Exhibition Center from Nov. 19 to 21 in Paris.
