transcript:
Custard.  It conjures up images of works canteens, hospitals, school dinners and kids parties.  It's definitely one of those foods that you either love or hate, but it's pretty harmless nonetheless.  Or is it?  Could custard have a more explosive side? Is custard a bomb waiting to go off?
[LAUGHS] You didn't really think that was gonna blow up did you?  Fear not, there's absolutely no need to defuse that trifle in your fridge. But what if we apply a bit of science?  What if we use custard powder instead?
Right, lets get rid of this first.  Okay, now I've got this tin, into which I shall place this candle.
Then I get some custard powder and I'm gonna sprinkle it around the candle like that, make sure there's plenty in there.
Okay,  Then I get this rubber hose and poke it into this hole, which I made earlier.  Okay now I'm gonna light the candle. Put the lid on and retire to a safe distance. Now please do not try this at home. Now all I've got to do is blow.
So what just happened? When I blew into the tin, I introduced oxygen - one of the essential ingredients for fire - and at the same time, I turned the pile of custard powder into an airborne dust cloud which created the explosion. But here's the thing, there isn't anything explosive in custard powder, just the act of turning it into a dust cloud and igniting it in a small space made it explosive.
Custard powder was invented in 1837 by pharmacist Alfred Bird.  His wife was allergic to traditional egg custard so he came up with a cornflour based substitute.  But it wasn't until his friends sampled it that he realized its commercial potential and the now famous Birds Custard was born.  And in 1902 this place, the Custard Factory in Digbeth, Birmingham, was established to produce it.
Even back then they knew about the potential danger of custard powder, so instead of the usual open plan layout, the factory consisted of a series of rooms separated by thick walls and corridors sectioned off by these huge steel blast stores, so that any explosion would be contained.
So next time you see that long forgotten tin of custard powder at the back of the kitchen cupboard, just remember what its capable of.
But, don't try this with your custard powder at home

|2012 Allstate BCS National Championship
January 9, 2012
#2 Alabama 21 (Final: 12-1, #1)
#1 LSU 0 (Final: 13-1, #2)
Alabama kickers Jeremy Shelley and Cade Foster received a lion's share of blame for the regular-season defeat, although it seemed as if the critics weren't paying attention.
The pair missed on four-of-six attempts, but none were anything close to chip-shots. Every time the Crimson Tide made its way anywhere near the LSU red zone, the Tiger defense threw them back. Bama was not only forced to kick field goals, they had to kick LONG field goals. The pair missed from 44, 50, 49 and 52 yards. It was grossly unfair to imply Bama's biggest weakness was not having kickers.
Tide quarterback A.J. McCarron, who had his own difficulties trying to solve the Bayou Bengal defense in November, said confidently, "Well, guess what, not everything's always going to be perfect. I've got the utmost faith in both our kickers. . . . They'll get the job done."
Much like Florida State in 1996 and LSU in 1960, teams that beat opponents (Florida and Ole Miss) in the regular season then were paired against the same foe in the Sugar Bowl, the Tigers came out without an edge they displayed the previous four months.
It may not have made any difference. From the start, the Bama defense was like a boa constrictor wrapped around the LSU offense, struggling to breathe under Jordan Jefferson. Jefferson was the quarterback ever since he replaced Jarrett Lee in the first Alabama game, largely because of his mobility as opposed to Lee, strictly a passer. That thinking played right into Nick Saban's strategy, who "loaded the box" to stop the run - and dare Jefferson to pass.
"We wanted to make (Jefferson) a passer," Tide linebacker Courtney Upshaw said afterward.
The crushing Alabama defense kept LSU bottled up, and McCarron moved the Tide against a Tiger defense that played valiantly but couldn't get off the field. While they did stop the Tide when they threatened the end zone, they couldn't keep Bama out of field goal range.
Shelley kicked one through from 23 yards out on the Tide's second possession, then, shades of Nov. 5, had a 42-yard attempt blocked by tackle Michael Brockers. But in the final 4:18 of the first half, he booted home two more, from 34 and 41 yards.
The second one, coming with two seconds to halftime, was the straw that broke LSU's back. The Tide drove 76 yards with nine plays in 1:55 to get in range to make the score 9-0.
At that juncture, Bama had 225 yards and 13 first downs, and the Tigers just 43 yards and a lone first down. Until those last two seconds, those statistics might have been a reason for concern for any other football team, but not the Bayou Bengals.
In four of LSU's last five games, the Tigers struggled in first halves. In the first game against Alabama, the score was 3-3 at intermission; a week later against Western Kentucky of the Sun Belt Conference, LSU couldn't seem to get untracked offensively, with the Hilltoppers staying with the Tigers for most of the opening 30 minutes; Arkansas took a 14-0 lead against LSU before the Tigers surged to a 21-14 lead at the break; and there was a first-half meltdown in the SEC Championship Game in which the Georgia led 10-7 over the Bengals who couldn't make a first down.
In every instance, in the second 30 minutes LSU became an almost monstrous team and ended up beating them all by an average 33-10 margin.
LSU couldn't have played much worse, and yet they were still in striking distance.
Only after the last play of the first half did a sliver of doubt start seeping in. LSU was now down 9-0 and would have to find a way to score two touchdowns to take a lead against a defense that wasn't yielding first downs. As long as the score was 6-0, all it would take was for one of LSU's arsenal of difference-makers to ignite a single big play to get on the boards. But two? With the third field goal that started to look more than daunting.
Unlike in their recent games, things didn't change for LSU this time. The Tigers managed a paltry 92 yards of total offense, and could only get past midfield once, midway through the fourth quarter. Jefferson was 11-of-17 for 53 yards, and LSU's leading rusher was Kenny Hilliard with 16 yards. When Richardson broke off a 34-yard touchdown run - the only time anyone crossed the goal line in eight quarters between the two teams, the score became 21-0, the same as 52 years ago against Ole Miss, though this represented the only shutout in a title game in the BCS era.
Saban attributed the domination to the Tide's pass rush, saying, with a straight face, his squad dodged potential bullets early. "They had some people open," he said. "In most cases, it was the pass rusher that affected the quarterback. That saved us."
McCarron acquitted himself nicely, going 23-of-34 for 234 yards and being named the game's offensive MVP, while Courtney Upshaw earned defensive MVP honors after tallying seven tackles and a critical sack.
But if anyone wants to talk about a turnaround it would have to be Shelley, who kicked five field goals, best in the history of BCS football. He summed up his two games with LSU with a simple description: "Lowest of lows, highest of highs."
Recap by Sugar Bowl historian Marty Mulé, an award-winning sportswriter who covered college football and the Sugar Bowl for the New Orleans Times-Picayune for 33 years.

Academy, but is a product of Cincinnati. He's ranked No. 84 of ESPN's 100 list and is No. 90 nationally according to Rivals.Called the No. 1 power forward from Ohio, Williams also had offers from Ohio State and Memphis.Meanwhile, big man Elijah Macon, who previously committed to WVU from Huntington Prep, committed again Saturday night.After failing to qualify academically, Macon went to Brewster Academy in New Hampshire, where he just had his first practice. Also 6-8, Macon is a 245-pound standout who also hails from Ohio, a product of Marion-Franklin High."A lot of things have been going on," Macon said by phone. "But I'll be there. I've got my grades together now and I'm ready to go." Macon also said his wrist is better after an injury.As for the opportunity to be paired with Williams, Macon chuckled."I think it's scary," he said. "He's big; I'm big. It's going to be on."Macon previously received offers from Cincinnati, Iowa and USC, and was said to be coveted by Ohio State."Nobody new has stepped in though," Macon said. "I'm really just focused on WVU."Reach Mitch Vingle at 304-348-4827, firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/MitchVingle.

Looking for a way to be fit and healthy in the new year? A heart-rate monitor, in my opinion, is one of the most essential pieces of training equipment for anyone who works out.
Serious athletes will track their heart rates when they work out and note how more efficient they become in certain zones over the course of a training period.
However, heart-rate monitors are good for virtually everyone because they are great indicators of how tired or how fresh you are.
If you can't get your heart rate up near your high zones one day, your body is telling you it's tired and needs to rest.
If you wake up in the morning and it's higher than normal, you could still be tired from a previous workout and might want to consider a rest day. Or perhaps you'll discover you're getting sick and might want to resort to your favorite illness-fighting remedy.
As valuable as they are to a training protocol, heart-rate monitors can be intimidating when they include so many buttons, options and alarms.
That's why I recommend starting out with a good, basic monitor without a lot of bells and whistles. Still, even basic ones can be troublesome as batteries die or chest straps become uncomfortable.
One monitor that solves the problem is the ePulse2, a strapless heart rate monitor that comes with a rechargeable battery.
I've tried strapless monitors before and didn't care for them much because they were inaccurate. However, this one is as accurate as the ones I use with chest straps.
Pull it snug on your forearm and you are ready to go. Other elements I like about it: the nice bright numbers that are easy to see and the rechargeable battery option. According to the manual, the battery will last for six hours.
Just recharge it before you exercise and you should be good to go. The screen features a battery indicator so you'll know if you need to charge it or not.
The ePulse2, which retails for about $100, also tracks calories burned, can be set to your own heart-rate zones, and has a stopwatch with a split function.
Can't afford a heart rate monitor? Training logs are great ways to track fitness gains and health patterns, while healthy eating cookbooks or those geared toward seasonal eating can turn mundane meals into fat burning, health-producing sessions.
Travel books also can serve as inspiration, too. Getting to the gym will become much more appealing if you're training for surfing or beach volleyball on a favorite island.

Jaguar's F-Type is a bold exercise in building the perfect sports car. The range of V6 and V8 powerplants suit the chassis perfectly, making it a serious performance machine to compete with the likes of the Porsche Boxster, BMW Z4 and the Audi TTS. The F-Type also gives V8-equipped competitors such as the Corvette and Mercedes SLK55 AMG a serious run for their money as well. For 2016, Jaguar has taken even greater steps to create the most competitive perfect sports car they can with the addition of all wheel drive and a manual transmission for the driving purists.
Compare the 2016 Jaguar F-TYPE against similar models
Jaguar introduced the F-Type Convertible last year. This year they've introduced a coupe version of the car. A 6-speed manual and available all-wheel drive have been added to the powertrain options. The Meridian 12-speaker audiophile stereo is standard equipment for 2016.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
Below are pictures of the 2016 Jaguar F-TYPE. Select the picture you want to view below
Below are the available colors for the 2016 Jaguar F-TYPE. Select the color to see a close-up view.
The Jaguar F-Type, now in its third year, is the first true sports car Jaguar has built in 40 years, since the demise of the E-Type. It's true to the heritage without being retro.
The F-Type runs in the league with the Porsche Caymans and Boxster and the Chevrolet Corvette. Its aluminum architecture and chassis structure is riveted and bonded, light and rigid, although at 3500 pounds, the F-type is bigger and heavier than both Porsches. Even so, we think it's more entertaining to drive than any car in its class, except the Cayman S, and maybe the Stingray Z51.
For 2016, Jaguar F-Type offers all-wheel drive and a 6-speed manual transmission (although not together in the same car). Long live the manual gearbox! Finally a traditional Jaguar you can actually play with, like days of old. Although the 8-speed automatic with manual mode is satisfying.
There are a number of powertrains for the F-Type. There are two 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engines; one makes 340 horsepower, accelerates from 0 to 60 in 5.1 seconds, and hits 161 mph, while the other, called the F-Type S, makes 380 hp, goes to 60 in 4.8 seconds, and hits 171 mph. It gets an active exhaust system, flat-bottom steering wheel, and driving modes.
Getting top billing for 2016 is a new F-Type Convertible R, which uses a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 making 550 horsepower, storming from a standing start to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds, and zooming all the way to 186 mph. It comes with a paddle-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission.
The V6 is better balanced and more responsive, sweet and suitable to the car's dynamics. In fact, the V6 engine is based on the V8; they share the same all-aluminum architecture, direct fuel injection, dual independent variable cam timing (DIVCT), and water-cooled twin vortex supercharger mounted in the V of the engine block.
For 2016 some service features are added, namely a five year or 60,000 mile warranty that includes maintenance, roadside assistance, and connected services.
The 2016 Jaguar F-Type comes with leather upholstery, leatherette trim, climate control. F-Type coupe ($65,000) and convertible ($68,100) come standard with 340-hp supercharged 3.0-liter V6 and 6-speed manual gearbox; 8-speed automatic is optional. F-Type S comes with 380-hp versions of the same engine. The F-Type R Coupe ($103,600) and convertible ($106,450) feature the 550-hp supercharged V8 and come with upgraded leather seats and trim. Rear-wheel drive is standard; all-wheel drive is available.
The F-Type is drop-dead gorgeous, with languid lines, muscular shoulders and powerful haunches. The flowing character lines along the sides are emphasized in the coupe because of the streamlined roofline. The coupe is the best-looking, purist version. Keeping it smooth, the door handles are inset, extended by the remote key fob.
A black eggcrate grille looks Jaguar all the way, including the shark gills on each side with LED lighting nearby. The headlamps are bending trapezoids. The hood has a sharp power bulge straight up the center. Regrettably, imitation intakes and vents are added to that hood, as well as the fenders and fascia.
Twin rollbar hoops have fairings so they don't look like steel bars. On the convertible, the multi-layered and insulated top lowers in 12 seconds at up to 30 miles per hour, and serves as its own tonneau cover.
There's a graceful ridge on top of the rear fenders that flows down to the center of the LED taillamps, thin elegant trapezoids that wrap forward all the way to the back of the rear wheels. The diving rear on the coupe is reminiscent of the E-Type. There's a black diffuser with twin exhaust pipes coming out the center with the V6, a nod to the E-Type of 1961; double outboard twin pipes are used with the heavy-breathing V8. The rear spoiler is invisibly flat, until the car reaches 60 mph.
If you overlook the luxurious leather, available in red, and the big LCD, the interior says sports car, although we could do with a little less swoop. There is no wood. Carbon fiber is what's happening today.
Jaguar calls the cabin asymmetric, as the controls and instruments are canted toward the driver. On the passenger side, it feels remote and not much like a sports car, as a big dashboard is so far away. However the passenger gets a grab handle; what's missing is a sign saying: Hang on, you're gonna need this.
But for the driver, the cockpit comes to life, as he or she is the center of attention. The panel is clean and sporty, with gauges recessed in binnacles. The speedo and tach are big. The bucket seats are excellent. The leather-wrapped steering wheel is nice and fat (flat-bottomed is optional), and the shifting paddles are tidy. The start button is the same orange that deep-sea divers use.
The knobs are functional, not fancy. They're easy to recognize and they work. The climate controls on the center stack don't require abstract thinking to use. Headroom is snug for tall people, and legroom tight for regular people, but the power seats are adjustable, supportive and comfortable even with their aggressive bolstering. The standard audio system is a 770-watt Meridian, with satellite radio.
The 11.7 cubic feet of cargo area behind the seats on the couple might hold two golf bags, but the 7 cubic feet or trunk space in the convertible is tiny, less than a Mazda MX-5. It's the price you pay for the wind in your hair, a small price we think.
The V8 might be humongously powerful with its 550 horsepower, and its exhaust note will rouse the neighbors and your own lost youth, but the V6 feels more nimble and alive, more like a sports car and less like a hot rod. Even so, its weight can be felt. Not surprisingly, the coupe handles better than the convertible, given its stiffer structure. However with available adaptive dampers, the convertible's handling comes closer to the coupe's.
The F-Type is a car that can be driven casually, but it's also a car that loves to be driven aggressively. We like the feel of the S model, the V6 with 380 horsepower, the most. We got both S cars on the track, where the V6 worked better because it's better balanced. The rigid aluminum double-wishbone suspension keeps the car precise, although not like the Porsche Boxster or Cayman.
The Coupe R is the highest performing of the F-Types, ready for the track, with full grip and response, but frankly it was too powerful to be as much fun as the V6. In fact, the V6 works better everywhere except to pass on two-lanes. Still, the V6 gets to redline 7000 real fast.
Both engines use a close-ratio 8-speed automatic transmission that loves to play, using the paddles. Jaguar calls it Quickshift, and it is. In manual mode. the shifts are sharp and obedient at all times, with no over-rides. It's fun and easy to do consecutive downshifts like in a Formula One car, using the paddles. The transmission does rev matching so each downshift is perfect. Manual shifting can also be done at the lever.
The brakes on the F-Type S are quite sensitive around town; on the track, they're fantastic.
The Dynamic Mode is one of the best we've come across. Jaguar calls it Configurable Dynamics, meaning you can select which elements you want to sharpen, among steering, throttle, transmission and suspension.
But the first button you will play with is the one that changes the exhaust note, standard on the S models. BMW, Porsche and Mustang used the trick before Jaguar, but the Jaguar system is best because it's pure; electronically controlled bypass valves in the rear of the exhaust open under hard acceleration. The four pipes in the V8 are raucous as the acceleration snaps your neck, while meanwhile you fly beneath the decibel meter when cruising.
The Jaguar F-Type is a worthy successor to the legendary E-Type. The 380-hp supercharged V6 is sweeter and better balanced than the 550-hp supercharged V8. Both use superb 8-speed automatic transmissions with paddles. The aluminum structure is state of the art.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

Fordham Law Alumni Admitted to Supreme Court BarJune 07, 2013
Thirty-three Fordham Law alumni were admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court at the annual Fordham Law Alumni Admission Ceremony on May 28. The event, held at the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., included a breakfast for the alumni and their guests and a tour of the courthouse.
The Admission Ceremony has taken place annually since 1986. Each year, the prospective members of the bar gather in the Supreme Court courtroom, where an already admitted Fordham Law alumnus makes a motion to admit the new members. This year, the motion was made by Professor Constantine N. "Gus" Katsoris '57, who has been involved with the Admission Ceremony for over 25 years. Seven of the nine Supreme Court Justices—all excluding Justices Antonin Scalia and Stephen Breyer—were in attendance.
"This ceremony has been a mainstay of our alumni activities each year, resulting in the admissions of over 1,000 of our graduates to practice before the high court," said Professor Katsoris. "It has been an honor to have been permitted to act as sponsor of so many of our alumni, faculty, and friends."
This year, the group of admitted alumni was more than double those of recent years: 12 alumni were admitted in 2011, and 10 in 2010. Michael Schiumo, Assistant Dean for Alumni Relations, attributes the increase to the efforts of the Fordham Law Alumni Association's strategic planning initiative in engaging younger Fordham Law graduates. According to Schiumo, this year's cohort included a high proportion of alumni who had graduated in the past ten years, a point of contrast with previous groups of admitted alumni.

"One of the best things for David Wu is the earthquake in Japan," Moore said.
Moore plays a gynecologist (hoo boy) with an academic husband (Liam Neeson) who is obviously cheating on her.
"That explains why officers act that way, because they feel nothing will ever happen to them," Moore said.
According to Moore, while his mother was "rad," his military father punished him for the simplest of transgressions.
But, said Moore, "the kid is still in jail," and "There is no indication that he had a partner."
"She's feeling pretty well, for her," Mr. Moore said placidly.
We are then told that Moore was called in, and had a secret audience.
Moore and I were now neck and neck on the lead, going at full speed.
At the moment, however, Mrs. Moore put her head out of the kitchen window.
"If we don't do that, the deer will scent us and be off in no time," explained Captain Moore.

You don't want to be in monitor mode if you're trying to make a normal connection.......
Read up on some basic terms, definitions and techniques
So i have BT3 Beta installed on my compaq Presario V2000. everything is runnin very well. i am able to find the onboard wireless and put it into monitor mode. but when im sitting next to the router my wireless assistant doesnt pick up a signal. any help on how to pickup a wireless signal and connect??
-many thanx
You don't want to be in monitor mode if you're trying to make a normal connection.......
Read up on some basic terms, definitions and techniques
I wasn't trying to be mean
I just read your post as saying "I've got my card into monitor mode but I can't connect to my AP"
Don't rely on the GUI connection tools.
Use the CLI instead. It's much more reliable.
Then, you can post the steps you are taking and any errors you may be receiving.
It's much easier to attempt to help you then........
sall good dude. i was serious though, i just gotta read up i guess. i wasnt tryin to be a dick or anything i do appreciate it. im happy that i didnt get flamed for asking that question lol
im gonna go through the terminal and see what i can do then post back my steps if i cant get it
Ok, joke over, so if you can't connect,........... what happens? do you get errors you can post, are you trying to connect CLI like Re@lity advised, or GUI? go with CLI
aslo, is it WEP/WPA, wired, or wireless ? this can only help us, .........to help you
using the terminal....
Heres how i go:
ifconfig eth1 up= turn my wireless on
iwlist eth1 scan= scan for connections in my area
iwconfig eth1 essid "essid name" mode "mode the AP is in" channel "the channel the AP is on" = connect my wireless card to the AP...(i think)
dhclient eth1=i try it and finds ports and stuff but doenst connect.
(i would post what the terminal shows but im not near any wireless now to get what it shows... sorry)
idk what to do from there...
i pick up multiple signals that are not encryped, they are open. i get my wireless card (Broadcom 4306) to scan and pick up signals, i just cant and dont know how to get it to connect to the AP i pick up and connect to the internet.
any help is awesome!
thanks again dudez
eth1?? are you sure isn't that ethernet?
For wireless shouldn't it be wlan0?? or ath0?? depending on the card.
for example, I use atheros chipset card so My commands are
airmon-ng stop ath0
ifconfig wifi0 down
airmon-ng start wifi0
airodump-ng ath0
Plain & simple & never failed me - there are various ways to do this but that's my way
there are tons of posts regarding how to do this & video tuts as well
I thought he was originally asking how to connect to the internet....
ifconfig eth1 up
iwconfig eth1 essid (ie. linksys) key (7832467823 or whatever)
dhcpcd eth1
that should get you online.

Gardening Playdate with Melissa & Doug
April 14, 2012 at 8:00 am allisonmcdonald Leave a comment
This playdate idea is brought to you by Melissa & Doug , written by our Blog Ambassador Allison McDonald. "Everyday play is what childhood should be about."
"Can we have a playdate?" How often do you hear that?
For us it's about every day at 1pm as I pick my son up from school. I love hosting other kids for playdates, but the disaster that is left in what was once my only slightly messy playroom is at times overwhelming. It's not that the kids are being unruly, it's that they are excited and go from one thing to another . . . to another . . . to another.
(And they don't put anything away. Would you if you were that excited? Probably not.)
But sometimes it's just the opposite.
"We're bored, we don't know what to play."
Seriously? How is that even possible?!
To calm the chaos on the overexcited days and also spark play on the quieter ones, try planning your playdate on a specific theme. Here are some great ideas for a spring gardening playdate:
Dedicate a corner of your own garden or fill a large, shallow, plastic tub with some topsoil, provide some kid-size tools like the Tootle Turtle Gardening Tote Set and a few packs of seeds. Let the kids plant and water as they wish. It doesn't have to be perfectly planted–remember you're aiming for fun not a bumper crop.
After they dig, plant and get nice and muddy, stop for a snack. You can serve mini sandwiches cut into flowers with a cookie cutter, carrot sticks and of course a gummy worm or two for a treat! Use the Bella Butterfly Picnic Set and the garden theme won't have to stop just because the gardeners are refueling.
They will need that fuel for the next activity. What is gardening without water? It's time to fill up those Bibi Bee Watering Cans and feed all the plants in your yard. The kids won't even know they are doing you and your to-do list a favor. Since they are probably going to water more than the plants, you might want to plan to pull out the Blossom Bright Sprinkler and let them run through it! Don't forget to have extra swimsuits and towels on hand for guests that may have forgotten them.
After exciting and physical activities like gardening and running through a sprinkler, it's a good idea to have a quieter, relaxed activity before it's time to head home. I love the idea of a chill-out tent, and the Mollie and Bollie Tent is a great place to cozy up and read some garden-themed books or do a puzzle–like this Insects Chunky Puzzle–that fits in perfectly with your theme.
I can't guarantee that the kids won't still find a way to explode toys all over your playroom, but I can guarantee they won't be bored! Using themes can change an everyday playdate into something really cool, and with the help of fantastic toys it can be amazing.
Have you ever hosted a themed playdate? Was it a hit ?

With mid-day temperatures approaching 100 degrees, it was only appropriate that the Heat would be the tournament's biggest winner.
Tampa's Wellswood Heat won the 2012 Cal Ripken division T-ball Region World Series, held at Chiefland's Strickland Park on July 8. The team's 12-2 win in three-and-a-half innings over Okeeheelee "Red" capped off a dominating run.
"It's the result of a lot of hard work and dedication," said Wellswood manager Vinnie Lozano, "they deserve this win."

Gaming staff
laid off
Four months after acquiring "Star Wars" maker Lucasfilm, The Walt Disney Co. is shutting down video game production at subsidiary LucasArts and laying off staff as it focuses on the less-risky, less-expensive path of licensing its characters and stories to other developers. Website Kotaku said 150 people affected, citing unnamed source.
J.C. Penny cuts
top staffs' pay
In a clear sign of its dissatisfaction with the direction of the company, the board of J.C. Penney gave its chief executive, Ron Johnson, a pay cut of almost 97 percent, to $1.9 million, for 2012, according to a regulatory filing Tuesday. In addition, not a single top executive received a cash bonus for the year.
Slower growth
for service firms
U.S. service companies grew at a slower pace in March and private employers pulled back on hiring, suggesting businesses may have grown more cautious. The Institute for Supply Management said its index of non-manufacturing activity fell to 54.4 from 56 in February. Any reading above 50 signals expansion.
787 testing more than half done
Boeing said it has finished more than half of the testing on its proposed battery fix for the 787, with the rest of the ground and flight tests coming in the next several days. Smoldering batteries including one fire on the ground prompted air safety authorities to ground the world's 787s in mid-January.
Amazon offers
free digital songs
Amazon says that every time a person buys a vinyl record from its online store, it will give that customer a digital version of the songs for free. The feature, AutoRip, was launched in January for CDs. The new offer, announced Wednesday, extends to any physical albums bought on Amazon since 1998.
Monsanto profit
rises 22 percent
Monsanto reported Wednesday its income increased 22 percent in the agriculture products company's second quarter on strong sales of biotech seeds, particularly in Brazil and other emerging markets. The company boosted its full-year earnings guidance, citing its strong performance in the first half of the year.
Oreo maker gave
CEO sweet pay hike
Mondelez International gave CEO Irene Rosenfeld a pay package worth $22 million last year, as the maker of Oreo cookies and other sweet snacks split from Kraft Foods and began operating as an independent company. The compensation represents a 40 percent increase from Rosenfeld's pay in 2011.

After the service firefighters lined up at attention with a color-guard ceremony as a bag-piper playing "Amazing Grace" proceeded Walker's casket. Walker's family walked behind the casket that had a firefighter's flag laid across.
The casket was lifted into a firetruck that took Walker to his final resting place.
Walker was 45-years-old when he was shot to death outside his home on Lampson Avenue last Sunday. Police are still looking for the suspect in Walker's murder. Get breaking news sent to your mobile phone.Text "news" to 21095.

Short statureIdiopathic short stature; Non-growth hormone deficient short stature
Short stature refers to any person who is significantly below the average height for a person of the same age and sex.
The term often refers to children or adolescents who are significantly below the average height of their peers.
A growth chart is used to show a child's current height and how fast he or she is growing. It can compare your child to other children of the same age and gender (male or female).
- A child may be shorter or taller than the average child of the same age.
- A measurement called standard deviation (SD) is used to compare the height of different children.
If a child's height is more than 2 SD's below the average height of other children the same age, the child is said to have short stature. This means that almost all of the other children that age (more than 95% or 19 out of 20) are taller.
Your health care provider will monitor your child's growth rate over time.
Many parents become worried if their children are shorter than most or all of the children around them. However, short stature is not necessarily a sign of a health problem.
Short stature that has no medical cause (idiopathic short stature) can be due to:
- Constitutional growth delay. Children are small for their age but are growing at a normal rate. Puberty is often late. These children continue to grow after most of their peers have stopped. Most of the time, they will reach an adult height similar to that of their parents.
- Your genes. One or both parents is short. Short but healthy parents may have a healthy child who is in the shortest 5%. These children are short, but they should reach the height of one or both parents.
Short stature may be a symptom of a number of medical conditions or problems, including:
- Bone or skeletal disorders such as rickets or achondroplasia
- Chronic diseases such as congenital heart disease, kidney diseases, asthma, sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, Cushing's disease, hypothyroidism, and diabetes
- Genetic conditions such as Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, Williams syndrome, Russell-Silver syndrome, and Noonan syndrome
- Growth hormone deficiency
- Infections of the developing baby before birth
- Malnutrition
- Poor growth of a baby while in the womb (intrauterine growth restriction) or small for gestational age
This list does not include every possible cause of short stature.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
All children should have their growth and development monitored on a regular basis.
If your child appears to be much shorter than most children his or her age (or if the growth rate has decreased or stopped), call your health care provider.
What to Expect at Your Office Visit
The health care provider will perform a physical examination. The child's height, weight, and arm and leg lengths will be measured. If the short stature appears to be a sign of some medical condition, further tests, including laboratory studies and x-rays, may be needed.
To learn more about possible causes, the health care provider will ask questions, such as:
- Family history
- How tall are the parents and grandparents?
- How tall are the brothers or sisters?
- Are other relatives less-than-average height?
- Have any family members been diagnosed with a disorder that can cause short stature?
- At what age did the parents start puberty?
- Child's history
- What was the child's birth like?
- How is the child's diet?
- Has the child begun to show signs of puberty?
- At what age did puberty signs begin?
- Has the child always been on the small side of the growth charts?
- Was the child growing normally and then the rate of growth began to slow?
- What other symptoms are present?
- Is the child's short stature affecting self-image or causing any problems at school or with friends?
A bone age x-ray is often done. X-rays are usually made of the left wrist or hand.
- Normally, the size and shape of bones change as a person matures. These changes can be seen on an x-ray and usually follow a pattern as a child grows older.
- Certain causes of short stature may be present if the bones have not changed or matured as expected for the child's age.
Girls with short stature may have a genetic test done to check for certain diseases, such as Turner syndrome.
Other tests may include:
- Complete blood count
- Growth hormone stimulation test may be done for some children
- Insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels may be done for some children
- Other blood tests to look for liver, kidney, thyroid, and other medical problems
Although your health care provider keeps records of height and weight from routine examinations, you may find it helpful to keep your own records. You may want to bring these records to your health care provider's attention if the growth seems slow or the child seems small.
A child's short stature may often affect self-esteem. Providing emotional support is an important part of treatment. Children may be teased by classmates and friends. Family, friends, and teachers should be sure to emphasize the child's other skills and strengths.
Children of short stature who are found to have a lack of growth hormone in their body will usually be treated with growth hormone injections. See: Growth hormone deficiency
Growth hormone injections are also used to treat children with Turner syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, chronic kidney failure, or idiopathic short stature (ISS).
Children who are of short stature but who have normal growth hormone levels usually do not need growth hormone injections. These children may only receive growth hormone injections when:
- The growth curve shows that the child will be a very short adult. Using growth hormone will usually increase the child's final height by 2 - 3 inches.
- The child was born small for gestational age
Some boys with short stature who also have delayed puberty may receive certain medicines containing the male hormone, testosterone.

Listen to Kanye West on iHeartRadio
A new video from Kanye West is on its way. His video for "Bound 2" is set to get its world premiere on Tuesday on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."
The news came from the talk show host herself, who tweeted her thanks to the rapper on Twitter.
Big news: @KanyeWest is on my show nextweek to premiere his music video. Can't say I'm surprised. I heard he'd do anything for a blond…woman— Ellen DeGeneres (@TheEllenShow) November 16, 2013
I hear @kanyewest's new video might feature @KimKardashian. I must have been busy when they were filming.— Ellen DeGeneres (@TheEllenShow) November 17, 2013

BELIEFS: The Dalle family makes every effort to produce wines that are true to the "terroir" of the Costieres de Nimes.
NOTES: Château de Campuget wines are produced by respecting tradition while utilizing the most modern oenological techniques. Although equipped with stainless-steel tanks and modern tools, wines are made and matured in a traditional way, and quality is strictly controlled from the vineyard to the bottle. Chateau De Campuget's main varieties are Syrah and Grenache Noir for the grapevines classified in AOC. For white wines, the company uses Roussanne and Grenache Blanc in Costieres de Nimes and Chardonnay in Vin de Pays. View all Chateau de Campuget Wines
About Other RhôneView a map of Other Rhône wineries Other appellations of the Rhône include: in the North – St-Péray, Chateau Grillet; in the South – Lirac, Côtes du Ventoux, Côtes du Tricastin, Rasteau
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Good day, sunshine!

text: We believe the study of politics is valuable for several reasons. Foremost of these is that political science offers the student excellent preparation for the role of a lifetime, that of an informed and self-reflective citizen. Only a hermit can avoid the burdens of citizenship. Since none of us can really escape politics by retreating wholly into our private lives, our choice is limited to either the active participation in the political process or the passive acceptance of political decisions made by others. Educated people bear a special responsibility to bring to their community an enhanced understanding of the nature of society and its governance. The liberal studies component of the Saint Michael's College curriculum (described in detail in the college catalogue) is predicated on four principles, among which is the empowerment of women and men "to participate constructively in society and its institutions." The Department of Political Science shares this goal, and seeks through its program to develop in its students the understanding and the habits of mind that will enable them to become leaders in their civic and political communities. The Department of Political Science does not ignore the vocational needs of its students. The third principle of the Saint Michael's College Liberal Studies curriculum states that the academic program should "promote the ability to think critically and to communicate thoughts in a clear and persuasive fashion." The discipline of political science exposes students to critical normative evaluations of social processes, as well as to the analysis of quantified empirical data. Insightful reading, critical thinking, and effective oral and written communication are important skills developed through the study of political science. These analytic and communicative skills are admittedly difficult to acquire, but are universally applicable in the careers students typically seek after college. They are useful for getting one's first job, but essential for getting one's first promotion. The second principle of the liberal studies curriculum proposes that students should "develop an understanding and appreciation of the intrinsic value of the liberal arts and sciences." The Department of Political Science hopes that students who choose to study political science will find the subject interesting and personally fulfilling. In fact, this is the best reason for becoming a political science major. When we study politics, we learn more about ourselves and about the world we have built. The political science program should stimulate the student's growth, both intellectually and morally, and should provide them with the opportunity realize their fullest human potential, to lead useful and gratifying lives.

The 'Pain in the Glass' Vehicle Inspection Sticker May Go Away
After false starts literally dating back decades, it appears the Legislature is finally getting traction in the effort to eliminate the annoying 'annual inspection sticker' from your vehicle's windshield, 1200 WOAI news reports.
That doesn't mean you won't have to get your car inspected every year, but the inspection process would simply be folded in to the annual vehicle registration process.
"The results of the inspection would then sent electronically troy the registrar of vehicles, and would allow them to recognize that your vehicle has been inspected," State Sen. Royce West (D-Dallas) who is pushing the bill through the Legislature, told 1200 WOAI news.
The inspection sticker has long been disliked by motorists, and state officials have tried unsuccessfully for decades to eliminate 'inspection sticker fraud.' It is estimated by one open government group that 95% of shops which are licensed to perform state inspections have, at one point or another, had an employee who has agreed to allow a Junker to pass inspection in exchange for a little cash under the table.
"This would give us a uniform system which should after it is completely rolled out and we get the bugs out of it, make the system more efficient and easier for citizens," West said.
Right now, West's bill would not cut the cost of the inspection process, in fact, it calls for Diesel powered vehicles to undergo mandatory tailpipe inspections, and it lays out the process for all vehicles to be inspected for air quality compliance.
West says the current $14.50 cost of an annual inspection will be reviewed if the law kicks in.
"In the long term, we can look at what is the true cost of dealing with this system, and we may be able to reduce that cost," he said.
The bill for a combined sticker has passed the Senate and is pending in the House.

When a murder occurs during the annual visit of a cloaked individual to Edgar Allan Poe's grave, Tess is drawn into unearthing a killer.
©2001 Laura Lippman; (P)2009 Recorded Books, LLC
"Lippman's second Tess Monaghan novel is a perfectly good mystery, but even more, it's an homage to the city of Baltimore." (Booklist)
Say something about yourself!
"a good book but poorly described on audible"
The Booklist review referring to the "second in the Tess Monaghan series" is not for this book but for "Charm City." I downloaded this from audible hoping for the second book because of that review.
Nonetheless, it's good, hon.
Not a thriller (which is good). The pace is a bit slow, but a rich and interesting mystery is laid out in a leisurely rate. The character development is outstanding. The narration is outstanding and greatly enhances each character, and the city itself.
"Of Edgar Allan Poe..."
Edgar Allan Poe lived, for a time and until his death, in Baltimore. While he actually died in October, this tale puts the date of his death on a cold, early morning January 19th, and surrounding that death swirl many tales, including an unknown, cloaked person who, yearly, visits the grave with three red roses and a half bottle very expensive wine. On this particular visit, there is a murder ... Another very good read from Lippman. 5 stars.
Tiger Rose
"Another Well Read Book"
Learning the snip-it of Poe history true and not so true.
Barbara Rosenblat is an excellant reader. She is able to make each character different so when you hear the voice you know which character immediately. She seems to act the book as she reads. She is able to keep an excellant pace so that you don't want to stop listening. SHE IS A GOOD READER OR NARRATOR AS SOME CALL IT. GOOD, GOOD, GOOD READER. Starting the next book Barbara's last one. Not sure about the next reader for book 8.
Started the book at 8 am and I made it to 1am and had to go to bed. 7am comes to fast. Finished it while taking my shower. ( Good external speakers) So good.
Narrator is not that great. Hard to keep characters dialog straight. Story was so so.
"Great wit and great way to learn some history while being thoroughly entertained"
One of Laura Lippman's best Tess Monagham story lines. Really enjoy Rosenblatt's contribution in relaying the wit & humor of Laura's writing
"Kept waiting for it to pick up; it didn't"
There's something so cozy about Laura Lippman's prose. Her first-person narrator could be somebody you fall into conversation with while waiting for a bus or pausing on a walk in a park to admire each other's dogs. When it works, as in "And When She Was Good," the plot drives the pokey style along. When it doesn't, as in this effort, the narrator becomes tiresome and unbelievable.
A gang of thieves obsessed with Edgar Allan Poe is a fine idea, but Lippman is unable to illuminate why they are obsessive collectors and what it is about Poe that is so fascinating. For a story about obsessive collectors, try Bruce Chatwin's "Utz." It's obvious in the comparison that Lippman is a once-over-lightly sort of writer, and this particular tale needed some depth.
Plus, I'm tired of Barbara Rosenblat. She's obviously a pro, but there's something cozy about her voice. Listening to it, book after book, I'm beginning to feel as though a stranger is being overly familiar. It's like getting a full-body hug from an acquaintance.

SEC617: Wireless Ethical Hacking, Penetration Testing, and Defenses
SEC617 is great for someone looking for a top-to-bottom rundown of wireless attacks.
Garret Picchioni, Salesforce
Thinking out-of-the-box is encouraged in SEC617, and the course has a lot of personal experiences shared by the instructor.
Matthias Frank, Bundeswehr
Despite the security concerns many of us share regarding wireless technology, it is here to stay. In fact, not only is wireless here to stay, but it is growing in deployment and utilization with wireless LAN technology and WiFi as well as with other applications, including cordless telephones, smart homes, embedded devices, and more. Technologies like ZigBee and Z-Wave offer new methods of connectivity to devices, while other wireless technology, including WiFi, Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy, and DECT continue their massive growth rate, each introducing their own set of security challenges and attacker opportunities.
To be a wireless security expert, you need to have a comprehensive understanding of the technology, the threats, the exploits, and the defense techniques along with hands-on experience in evaluating and attacking wireless technology. Not limiting your skill-set to WiFi, you'll need to evaluate the threat from other standards-based and proprietary wireless technologies as well. This course takes an in-depth look at the security challenges of many different wireless technologies, exposing you to wireless security threats through the eyes of an attacker. Using readily available and custom-developed tools, you'll navigate your way through the techniques attackers use to exploit WiFi networks, including attacks against WEP, WPA/WPA2, PEAP, TTLS, and other systems, including developing attack techniques leveraging Windows 7 and Mac OS X. We'll also examine the commonly overlooked threats associated with Bluetooth, ZigBee, DECT, and proprietary wireless systems. As part of the course, you'll receive the SWAT Toolkit, which will be used in hands-on labs to back up the course content and reinforce wireless ethical hacking techniques.
Using assessment and analysis techniques, this course will show you how to identify the threats that expose wireless technology and build on this knowledge to implement defensive techniques that can be used to protect wireless systems.

I dont know how many times ive posted this,Read the Backtrack 2 wiki for help first
Why doesen´t work my W-Lan Card "Intel(R) Pro/Wireless 2200 BG" on a Acer Notebook with the BackTrack 2 Final Live CD?
I can connect to a unsecure W-Lan but the Status-Led doesent work.
When I type "iwconfig" come "No Wireless....."
and airodump-ng doesent work.
Please help me
Sorry for my bad english.
I dont know how many times ive posted this,Read the Backtrack 2 wiki for help first
Remember, Friends Dont Let Friends Choose Signatures.
Personally, I use a 2nd card to inject and the 2200bg to capture...I very rarely miss the 4-way handshake that way and seem to get better injection speeds too.
But regardless, it'll quite happily crack WEP on its own...although doing the modprobe bits and adding the rtap0 is extra hassle that I avoid when I have an Atheros card to hand.
A Link to the ipw2200 driver please

It goes without saying the impetus behind establishing this vineyard came from the four's deep love for Pinot Noir. Meeting by chance in 1999 through Dr Richard Smith, Larry and Robert quickly hit it off and realised they had more than a love for the grape in common. Serious talk about establishing a definitive New World vineyard began in earnest even then and the 'idea whose time has come' has resulted in one of the most significant vineyard developments in the New Zealand district of Martinborough.
Escarpment is accredited with Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand®, an industry initiative directed through New Zealand Winegrowers. With a growing trade and consumer demand for environmentally friendly products, it provides an important platform to promote the New Zealand wine industry as a world leader in clean, green wine production.

About MartinboroughView a map of Martinborough wineries (mahr-tin-bore-ooh)
Situated on the southern tip of the North Island, Martinborough is just across the strait from Marlborough. Martinborough is a town, as well as a region within Wairarapa, which, in turn, is located within the region of Wellington. Just to add more confusion, Wellington is also the name of the city there, the capital of New Zealand. Sometimes the names of these three regions are interchanged, but know that all three names mean the wine has come from the bottom tip of New Zealand's North Island.
