Dear Marie,
We have a medium-size dog (20 pounds) who has been a wonderful pet for the last 10 years. We do not consider him aggressive; on the contrary, he is very loving toward adults. We take care of our grandson twice a week. He seems to be uncomfortable being around little children and we had one "incident" with him involving a child. What should we do to ensure that he does not bite or snap at little children, especially now that our grandson is walking? Is he too old to retrain?
Dear Steve,
I can understand why you are feeling uneasy about this situation, but your dog is definitely not too old to retrain. The problem is that he hasn't learned this particular lesson yet, so it's your job to provide new instruction.
Little children are confusing to some dogs. They are small, they move in what appears to be chaotic fashion, they are unpredictable, they make high-pitched sounds, and they don't seem to understand anything about personal space … at least from a dog's perspective. Sometimes, dogs might not even think a child is really a human, but rather some strange new animal that is invading the house or their territory – it's perplexing and scary.
Depending on the age of your grandson, he needs some training in this area, too. Teach him to understand that he is never allowed to approach your dog without permission. Fur and tail pulling are strictly forbidden. He should never eat food around the dog, unless he is sitting at the dinner table or in a high chair (and your dog should be kenneled during mealtime). He should learn to speak in a quiet voice and not squeal or run around wildly when the dog is present. And he should never try to handle the dog's food and water bowls, playthings, bedding or kennel. Unfortunately, kids are harder to train than dogs, so let's get back to your dog.
If you know your grandson is coming over, it is truly important to exercise your dog and wear him out to a certain degree prior to the arrival. Being an older dog, it probably won't take too long to accomplish this.
If his aggression is truly uncontrollable, I would strongly recommend putting him in his kennel with a treat and some toys before your grandson comes through the door. Be sure to praise your dog when he goes in so that he knows this is not a punishment of any kind. Keep the kennel in a room that is off-limits to your grandson and play soft music in that room. To acclimate him to your grandson being part of the family, put an unwashed article of clothing or blanket that belongs to the boy in the kennel. Your dog will then associate the scent with a calm, happy environment. Never leave your grandson unattended if your dog has free run of the house.
Throughout the day, bring your dog out on a leash (and a soft muzzle, if needed) and ask him to do basic commands for you while the child sits quietly and watches. Ask your dog to sit, lay down, etc. Each time he complies, tell him he is a good dog and have your grandson toss him a treat (from a distance) and have him say "good dog" also. After a few minutes of this, take your dog out into your yard and play with him a few minutes longer – without your grandson – before bringing him back in (on leash again) and putting him back in his kennel in the same way I described earlier. Give him lots of praise.
Over time, your dog will become calmer around your grandson, and eventually, you will no longer need to keep him in a kennel or use the leash and muzzle. Still, it is important that your grandson follows the rules, and that your dog has a safe place to go if he wants to get away from your grandson. In other words, keep his kennel in the quiet room available at all times and impress upon your grandson that your dog is not to be bothered if he goes there.
Of course, you may want to consult with a trainer who comes to your home and works with you and your dog. But at least now you have some basic knowledge that will keep your grandson and your dog safe and secure.

A NEW midwife-led maternity unit is to be set up at Worcestershire Royal Hospital following a £500,000 grant from the Department of Health.
Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, the organisation running the Royal as well as Kidderminster Hospital and Redditch's Alexandra Hospital, was awarded the cash this week which will be used to set up a new midwife-led unit in order to give new mothers a choice of care.
The decision comes just a month after a long-awaited review of hospital services recommended consultant-led maternity services should be centralised at Worcestershire Royal Hospital, while a stand-along midwifery centre is set up in the north of the county.
Although concerns had been raised that the plans would lead to the closure of the A&E department at the Alex Hospital, the independent review did not recommend this idea should be followed, saying instead the most serious emergency cases should be centralised in Worcester.
Labour's Parliamentary Candidate for Redditch Rebecca Blake said she was shocked at hearing the news.
"Last month we learn that if Redditch mums want a consultant led birth they are expected to travel to Worcester," she said.
"This month we learn that mums in the south of the county not only have the choice of consultant led births at their local hospital, but they will soon have an additional £500,000 midwifery-led unit at their local hospital."
"I want all mums to have these choices, however it clearly does not extend to the north of the county."
She added: "I want to know whether the acute trust applied for a midwifery led unit for Redditch as well as Worcester and if not, why not. Or, did the Government refuse Redditch, preferring to fund Worcester.
"This constant inequality for Redditch at the hands of decision makers must be fought against. And I will continue to fight."
The trust's chief executive Penny Venables said: "Two years ago the department of health asked all organisations to put in business cases to deliver and develop midwife-led care.
"We were turned down then but when the department asked for more submissions we re-submitted the same bid and this time they gave it to us.
"We are one of the few areas in the country not to have a midwife-led unit. The whole push is to normalise deliveries, reducing rates of things like caesarean being carried out through choice rather than need."
She said the next stage was to establish how many people would be in favour of setting up such a unit.
"It will be important to see how many people are in favour," she said.
"It might be that everyone goes 'no thanks, I'll go to an obstetrician'. We've only just got the letter saying we've got the money – we're now at the planning stage."

Jeremy Salken of Big Gigantic Now Playing Meinl Cymbals
Meinl Cymbals is pleased to welcome Jeremy Salken to its family of artists.
Jeremy is the drummer for Big Gigantic, an instrumental livetronica, hip-hop and jazz musical group based out of Boulder, Colorado. They combine electronic beats with live saxophone and drums. The band is known for its high-energy live performances. Their shows combine the improvisational dynamics of jam bands and jazz with DJ-style production - bass tones, synthesizers, etc. Dynamic light shows and visuals are also a prominent part of the live Big Gigantic experience.
Behind this massive experience (because live is where they truly excel), is Jeremy and his solid rhythmic foundation. With a set up that consists primarily of Byzance, with a Generation X and a Classics Custom thrown in for good measure (check out Jeremy's artist page here), Jeremy has found his sound with Meinl.
Welcome Jeremy!

Glad we caught you. We love seeing you here, but there are better ways to get edgy than at the bottom of this page. Our perfectly worn-in ripped jeans are a great start. Here's why:
Our ripped jeans are the kind that inspire rumors of a rockstar double-life. The kind with wear-and-tear so natural, everyone will guess they're vintage. Crafted with next-level fade, fringe and fraying and dyed a weathered wash of indigo that goes with everything (band tees and button downs), these piece don't quit. It's distressed denim you'll never want to take off (which is good, because these blue jean babies only get better with time).
Our latest line-up of ripped jeans is all about the details. Whether it's a delicately torn hem or a daringly destroyed knee. Cuts come in every silhouette to complement every outfit. Black ripped skinny jeans to pair with pretty much everything. Distressed boyfriend baggies to bring a wild side to cozy sweaters. And high waisted styles that work tucked, half-tucked or topped with a cropped cami. Best of all, every pair promises well-worn comfort without ever having to wear 'em in. Though, we think a hop over to our moto jackets page would help break them just right.

One of Hercules Wimbledon Athletic Club's newest signings, Lisa Crow, made a winning debut for the club in the Wimbledon Common parkrun on Saturday.
Crow, a talented 800m track runner in her younger days, was returning to racing after taking a break following a hectic summer when she was part of the BBC's London Olympics and Paralympics TV production team.
Her winning run in the women's race, where she covered the 5km in 20 minutes, 32 seconds, completed a hat-trick of wins in the event for Wimbledon-based Crow - her previous successes came in February and April when she clocked faster times of 20.07 and 19.54.
While she won the women's race on Wimbledon Common, she was the fifth Hercules Wimbledon finisher in the 269-strong field.
Andrew Davies was eighth in 18.59, David Grima 17th in 19.26, Peter Collins 25th in 19.53 and James Wallace 28th and first veteran over-50 in 20.14.
Charles Hampden-Smith was fifth veteran over-50 20.41 with David Gold 45th in 21.23 and Adam Fenton 52nd in 21.37. Charles Lawrie was top veteran over-60, finishing 78th in 23.04.

Lt Doug Orr, 321st Bomb Group, 447th BS, Nav.
1943 — North Africa
Lt Doug Orr was in the original "Gen Bob Knapp's 321st Bomb Group", the *now-famous* HOP over the Atlantic, the Southern Route without loss. Fifty eight B-25 Mitchells crossed the Atlantic all together. Doug completed his 50 Missions from Feb/March 1943 through Oct.'43 and went HOME to the ZI.
Doug survived his 1st Mission, the 447th BS's 1st Mission being Shot-Down at Sea, (One man KIA) and the rest paddling the raft 3 miles to shore, being about 50 miles into German territory in North Africa.... Lt Al Duke, the Pilot, was the worst injured but they made it back to our lines, were treated at a British Hospital and returned to his Unit.
He would later fly with a new Crew and after recovery, finish 49 more Combat Missions.
Doug Orr was friends with George Ghetia, probably from Hi-school and they would remain in contact after the War as well.

VoIP or traditional voice: Which solution is better?
Which voice technology solution is right for your facility?
Latest NewsLIFT making excerpt from MH29.1 standard available for free MHI announces new leadership appointments for 2018 Food logistics enters new transformational stage July retail sales are solid Retail sales turn in strong performance in July More News
Latest ResourceIdentify Cost Savings with Real-Time Visibility To offset the impact of late shipments, unreported delays and detention, shippers are increasingly requiring 100 percent visibility into the location and status of their freight.
All Resources
Datria argues that because its solution uses off-the-shelf phones that cost considerably less than traditional voice hardware and operates over a WiFi network, it is a less expensive solution.
Steve Banker, director, supply chain management, for ARC Advisory Group, is impressed by Coke's implementation, but is not sure that VoIP is right for everyone.
"There were some unique characteristics to the Coke implementation," Banker says. The most important of those was that Coke had made a commitment to use voice corporate wide and not just in the DC. In addition, he says, Coke had an experienced IT staff. While the bottler did have to beef up their WiFi infrastructure and add a number of access points, Banker says that it made sense for Coke.
"If you're standardizing on voice across your company, there's a very good argument for this approach, especially if you have an experienced IT staff," Banker says. "At the same time, I'm not sure it makes sense for the warehouse that doesn't have an infrastructure in place and wants to implement a simple and reliable solution." Or, if a company has just one or two facilities, remember that CCR has been able to leverage its investment across 100 facilities to date.
That said, Banker points out that the traditional market is more dynamic than ever. "Despite new players and more competition, I believe Vocollect is stronger than ever, as is Lucas Systems," Banker says. "At the same time, we're seeing solutions like the one from Aldata in France that uses a Nuance speech engine and doesn't lock you into using proprietary hardware."
In short, for the company implementing voice, there are more choices and solutions than ever before.
Coke's new take on voice technology
To revitalize its distribution processes, Coca-Cola Refreshments U.S.A. implemented a VoIP-based voice technology that enables 3,000 warehouse associates in 100 facilities.
How VoIP works at Coca-Cola
The system uses wide area and local area networks to direct operations on the floor of warehouses across the enterprise.

Pork producer margins took a turn for the worse, dropping $13.96 per head last week compared with the week before. Packer margins continue to gain ground, having nearly doubled from the profits for the previous week.
Farrow-to-finish producers lost an average $23.33 per head for the week ending Nov. 9, according to Sterling Marketing, Vale, Ore. In recent weeks, producer losses had started to grow, with margins reported $9.37-per-head in the red for the week ending Nov. 2. One year ago, margins were $7.65-per-head on the plus side.
Last week's hog slaughter came in at 2.367 million head, up 0.3 percent from the week before and up 2.6 percent compared to a year ago. This week's slaughter will be light due to Veterans' Day on Monday. Market hog live weights remain light, which suggest producers are current in their supplies. Iowa-Minnesota barrow/gilt live weights averaged 272.1 pounds last week. That's down 0.7 pounds from the previous week earlier and down 2.6 pounds from a year ago. As Ron Plain, University of Missouri agricultural economist points out, last week was the sixth consecutive week with weights running lighter than a year ago.
Feed costs actually slipped a bit from the week before, reported at $130.81 for hogs placed into finishing as of Nov. 9. Hog prices were down slightly at $81.01 per hundredweight versus $82.26 on Nov. 2.
Packer profits nearly doubled, reported at $8.99 per head, compared to $4.91 the week before. Sterling Marketing reports that for the same period in November in 2011, packers were averaging a profit of $9.66 per head.
The Sterling Pork Profit Tracker for the week ending Nov. 9:
- Average farrow-to-finish margins: -$23.33 per head
- Average pork packer margins: $8.99 per head
Sterling Marketing provides the Sterling Pork and Beef Profit Trackers, which are calculated using actual weekly prices for hogs and cattle, feed costs, pork and beef cutout prices, drop credits and other factors that influence profit margins.
Cattle feedlot losses had been showing a bit of a recovery, but dropped again last week. Losses averaged $86.97 per head for the week ending Nov. 10. That compares to $32.68 per head the week before and a $48.71-per-head profit for the same week in 2011.
Beef packer margins dropped another $12.11 per head to a loss of $88.59 per head. Sterling marketing reports beef packers lost $76.48 per head for the week ending Nov. 3; one year ago, losses averaged $49.50.
The Sterling Beef Profit Tracker for the week ending Nov. 10:
- Average feedyard margins: -$87.97 per head
- Average packer margins: -$88.59 per head
- Sterling Profit Quotient: -288.1
The Sterling Pork and Beef Profit Trackers are produced by Sterling Marketing Inc. and John Nalivka, president, Vale, Ore., and are published weekly by Pork Network.

I didn't know the distinction either. Thanks for that.
In fact, I highly doubt there are any Hiberno-English speakers left at that rate. Certainly there are natively bilingual Irish and English speakers, but I don't think there are any native Irish speakers who learned English as they got older. The days of Micky McGowan and Rothaí Mór an tSaoil (translated as "The Hard Road to Klondyke" excellent book for those interested in Ireland at the turn of the last century) are gone.
Irish English is old-fashioned. I would rarely use the grammatical constructions of it (with a week, he does be), but there are a few I do use. Many members of my parents' generation use the vocabulary, and even I would use some of it without noticing. I also noticed that we do tend to reply to questions with the verb, (Did you, I did etc.) which I presume is an influence from Irish.

Haven't done butternut on the smoker yet. When I do it in the oven, I cut em in half, clean, and put them cut side up for the duration. Take them out when they are soft. Use a small skewer to check. It's been a while, (last fall), but if memory serves, it takes about an hour at 350*. Since yours is smaller, I'm guessing about an hour & 1/2 - 2 hours on the smoker.
Hope this helps, a bit.

Our Milk Sources
The story of our milk...
Local Dairy Farms with High Standards
Our conventional and organic milk supplies come from local Northwest dairy co-op members that are dedicated to bringing the best possible milk to market. Most are small family farms with an average herd size of 150 milking cows. Most of the farms are within a 50 mile radius of our Eugene, Oregon creamery.
No Pesticides or Antibiotics
The USDA bi-annually takes a random sample of all milk produced in the USA and tests for herbicides, pesticides and fumigants. For the last 12 years, none of these agents have been detected in any of our milk supplies. We also test each load of milk we receive for antibiotics and we do not accept milk with any trace of antibiotics.
No Synthetic Hormones in Our Milk
We are opposed to the use of recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH) and will not purchase milk or powdered milk from cows that have been treated with this hormone, here is why:
Organic Certification
We believe organic farming practices work in harmony with the land and promote long-term sustainability for of the health of the cows, the consumer, and ultimately, the planet. Our organic milk is certified under USDA guidelines by Oregon Tilth and the Springfield Creamery has been inspected and certified to process organic dairy products. Buying organic assures you that the milk has been produced in accordance with Organic Standards for pasture, feed, treatment of the cows, and handling by us.
Fresh Organic Soy Milk
We start with fresh, organic soy milk - never from powder - which is USDA Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth. We then fully culture the fresh soy milk with six vegan cultures to provide a delicious, non-dairy, yogurt-like treat.

Lead Line — August 2004
By Richard Thiel
Too Big to Love
|The QM2's problem is one of bad proportions, and it's shared by a few yachts.
On a chilly evening last April a few thousand New Yorkers and I huddled along Manhattan's West Side Highway promenade staring out at the Hudson River, waiting for a pair of queens. As the evening deepened, the New Yorkers characteristically grew restless, for as if asserting their royalty, the pair was late. But when the first finally hove into view, you could hear the collective gasp.
The Queen Mary 2 was quite a sight, dwarfing her Cunard sistership, the Queen Elizabeth 2, which followed her out of the harbor. Indeed, although "only" 160 feet shorter, the QE2 looked like the QM2's tender, leaving little doubt that she is the tallest, widest, and, yes, longest ocean liner in the world. At 1,132 feet, she is only 117 feet shorter than the Empire State Building, and keel to funnel she's just over 236 feet. With 17 decks, she draws nearly 33 feet and displaces 151,400 gross tons. Each of her three anchors weighs 23 tons, and her two whistles, which came off the original Queen Mary, are seven feet long. Yet despite such mass, she cruises at 30 knots. The QM2 is, pardon the expression, titanic.
Every way, that is, except aesthetically. As I watched her creep down the Hudson, escorted by a phalanx of New York City fire and ferry boats (and a Blackhawk helicopter), I knew this should have been a moment redolent of the time when great transoceanic liners like the Queen Mary, United States, and France routinely called on Manhattan and always departed to crowds and fanfare. Instead, with her too-big nameboards emblazoned by enough wattage to shame a Broadway marquis, the QM2 looked more like an over-illuminated car carrier. She bore little resemblance to those three erstwhile ladies of the sea—especially the United States—which were not just big, but also sleek, stylish, and gracefully proportioned. With sweeping sheerlines and aggressively canted multiple stacks, they were pleasing to the eye and the imagination.
The QM2's problem is one of bad proportions, and, as you'll see in the following pages, it's a problem shared by a few of the world's 100 largest yachts: too much volume in too little length. Marine architecture demands adherence to certain proportions for the sake of seaworthiness—but there are no rules that say a ship should look like—well, a ship. When it comes to yachts the result is vessels that, to use a commonly whispered analogy, look like floating wedding cakes. In the case of the QM2, it's a shape whose only admirer is probably an accountant.
You could blame it on the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, which spans the entrance to New York Harbor. The QM2 had to clear it—she does, by just 13 feet at maximum high tide—so her single stack is short and fat, which, along with her high decks, makes her look like a floating shoebox.
Maybe it's passé to believe boats should be beautiful. Maybe in a super-size-me world, all boats will eventually look like car carriers. After all, a box is the most space-efficient shape. Trouble is, no one ever fell in love with a box, even if it said Tiffany's on the lid.

RUNNING Forever Running Club members have once again been in action at a variety of distances in differing locations of late.
Andy Burgess and Peter Hall tackled the Imerys Trail Marathon at St Austell.
This is run on the private land where the Cornwall China Clay Industry operate.
The run takes in scenic coastal areas as well as the quarry itself.
On a hot day with no shade and 2800 feet of climbing, both Burgess (55th in 4hr 30m 55s) and Hall (90th, 5hr6m 15s) performed admirably.
There were 110 finishers.
Meanwhile Caroline Barratt travelled to Switzerland to run the Geneva Half Marathon.
Run on an undulating course, in typical Swiss chocolate box scenery, Barratt finished in 1h58m to come 2,911th out of a field of 8,000 runners.
Phil Wilson and Val Perigo stayed closer to home, running the Cheddar Gorge 10k. Described as one of the toughest off-road 10K races in the southwest, this event is hilly and challenging. Wilson finished 172nd on 1hr 12m 59s with Perigo close behind in 176th place (1hr 13m 56s).

TAMPA, Fla. – The Saint Leo women's cross country team finished eighth at the UT Early Bird Classic, finishing just two points out of a top seven finish. The Lions totaled 188 points on the muggy evening at the 5K course of Brandon Trails in Tampa, Fla.
The Lions top individual finisher was Freshman Kelsey Bradley (Denver, Colo.). Running in her first collegiate race, Bradley nearly broke a top 20 finish, as she ended with a time of 20:51.00, just four seconds out of the No. 20 slot. Allison Luthman (Ramstein, Germany) was the next Lions to cross the finish line clocking in with a time of 22:04.00.
Dana Graham (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) and Julie Carusone (High Springs, Fla.) both cracked the 4r minute marker, as Graham finished with a time of 22:58.00 and Carusone finished just one minute behind registering a time of 23:52.00.
Mindy Pierce was the sixth Lion to cross the tape with a time of 24:01.00 and senior Heather Laws (Dade City, Fla.) rounded out the Lions' team with a final time of 25:22.00
The Lions vastly increased their standing from last seasons 11th place finish at the same event.
The women hit the course again September 13 in Melbourne, Fla. against Florida Tech. The gun is scheduled to go off at 7:30 a.m.

Report: UF replaces special teams coach
Published: Thursday, December 19, 2013 at 8:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 19, 2013 at 8:30 p.m.
Florida coach Will Muschamp has made a change on his coaching staff, replacing first-year special teams coordinator and outside linebackers coach Jeff Choate with Coleman Hutzler, who has held the job at New Mexico the past two seasons, according to at least two reports Thursday.
UF would not confirm the coaching change Thursday night that was reported earlier in the day by FootballScoop.com and CoachingSearch.com.
Hutzler has a Florida connection, having been a special teams assistant for the Gators under D.J. Durkin in 2010-11. Before that, Hutzler and Durkin worked together for two seasons at Stanford, where Durkin coached linebackers and special teams and Hutzler assisted with special teams.
The coaching change could be announced by UF today, leaving Muschamp with two vacancies to fill on his staff — offensive coordinator and offensive line coach.

A Burley-in-Wharfedale mum travelled to a North Yorkshire town to support the finale of a campaign to highlight that blood doesn't grow on trees.
Skipton was 'yarnbombed' with knitted blood drops to encourage O Rh negative (O negative) and B Rh negative (B negative) blood donors to give blood if they can in the next few days or weeks. More than 2,000 blood drops were used to create a spectacle in the town centre.
Lauren McDonnell, aged 31, of Burley in Wharfedale, went to Skipton to attend the yarnbombing event as she understands the importance of blood donors.
She received three units of blood in 2013 after suffering a heterotopic pregnancy. Lauren said: "I had a transfusion during surgery. It saved my life and means I am still here to look after my two-year-old daughter, Orlaith.
"Giving blood is such a small act that can make a massive difference to someone else's life. People that give blood are amazing."
The event was also attended by knitting blogger Rebecca Willis – known as Granny Willis. The 18-year-old A-level student created the original blood drop designs which were then distributed for other knitters to follow. More than 8,000 knitted blood drops were made nationwide to support the yarnbombing campaign.
Donna Batty, NHS Blood and Transplant spokesman, said: "We hope decorating Skipton in this way will help draw attention to the need for us to encourage O negative and B negative donors to come and give blood if they can in.
"Stocks of these vulnerable groups are lower than we would like them to be and we are asking both O negative and B negative blood donors in particular to call us now on 0300 123 23 23 to make an appointment to donate."
The yarnbombing campaign, which has been running across England and North Wales over the last month, is also helping to highlight the fact that NHS Blood and Transplant needs to attract new, young donors.
The number of people aged between 17 and 24 signing up to give blood has fallen significantly in recent years.

His Fair Lady
At the Grammy Awards earlier this week, Faith Hill wore an unlikely accessory on the red carpet—a set of braces. But the 45-year-old country star has been sporting them for a while. "They are about four months old," she told a Phoenix radio station last October. "I'm getting used to them." As for why she has orthodontic gear now, Hill was honest about it. "I had braces as a kid. And I forgot to wear my retainer," she confessed. "Kids, wear your retainer!"
In Asia now, teens are wearing Ugly Betty-style fake braces to make a fashion statement. But Gwen Stefani was more than a decade ahead of that trend. In 1999, the No Doubt singer started wearing metal in her mouth but claimed it was just a style choice. Stefani admitted to Access Hollywood that she had always wanted them as a child, but "I could afford them at that point, and that's when I went and got them."

What's more amazing than baby otters? Nothing! This year, our 4 year old female North American river otter gave birth to her first litter. First time moms often make keepers nervous since we never know how they will do, but Ginger has turned out to be a pro!
Ginger joined us here at the Oakland Zoo in 2008, when she was just one year old. North American River otters are not very prolific breeders, so AZA makes annual breeding recommendations. When Ginger came to us, she was still a bit too young to breed, but we knew that the AZA eventually wanted her to breed with our 12 year old male, Heath.
River otters are one of the few species that exhibit a phenomenon called delayed implantation. Essentially, otters breed in the spring but the fertilized egg doesn't actually implant until fall! So how does one plan for such a unique pregnancy? As it turns out, hormone levels can be measured in otters' feces! Our keepers collected samples from Ginger four times each week and mailed them off to Cincinnati to be tested. In December, we got the word that Ginger's progesterone had spiked and that she was likely pregnant with a due date sometime between February 15th and 23rd.
Now the preparations really ramped up! The keepers had meetings with the vet staff to prepare for any and all possibilities. Cameras were set up in denning area. Supplies such as extra towels, an infant scale and thermometer, and data recording sheets were prepared and brought down to the night house. We also requested additional help from our Behavioral Observation Team, a group of dedicated volunteers who spent hours each week watching Ginger and observing her for any changes in her behavior. We also kept close tabs on Ginger's weight and appetite at this time. The keepers had been training her to jump on a scale using positive reinforcement since she arrived, so they were able to monitor her weight several times each week and increase her food as necessary.
On February 15th, keepers arrived to find Ginger not only ravenous, but cranky as well! She wanted nothing to do with the two male otters with whom she shares her exhibit. A quick peek confirmed that she had given birth to TWO pups overnight (two to three is average for otters)! We quickly weighed them and put them back to cause as little disturbance as possible. The pups then had their first vet visit the following day where they were pronounced healthy!
The work doesn't end there, however. Our otter observers now had to watch Ginger and the pups on a closed circuit monitor to ensure that Ginger was keeping them warm and that they were nursing. Otter pups are born blind and helpless, about the size of a stick of butter, so they depend on their mother for everything! Thankfully, Ginger is the best otter mom we could have hoped for and the pups quickly thrived under her care!
Twice each week, someone from the vet staff would come down to examine the pups. We monitored their temperatures, weight gain, hydration, respiration, and heart rates. Since Ginger had to be separated from the pups during the vet visits, we kept the checks down to no more than 10 minutes to minimize the stress on both the mother and the pups.
We are so happy to have healthy baby otter pups and we are so proud of Ginger. For more photos and video of our otter pups check out our otter webpage!

A POPULAR Falmouth man died after taking an overdose of ecstasy at a rave, an inquest in Truro heard today.
Samuel Thornton, 20, of Glasney Road, Falmouth, also known as Skinny, was out celebrating his 20th birthday with friends in Falmouth on the Saturday, October 9, 2010 before returning home to get changed to go to a rave called Pop Clique in Penryn.
He had been drinking alcohol and was said to be in high spirits by his friends, having earlier been dressed as a banana and riding on a green space hopper through the streets of the Falmouth.
After going home and getting changed he went back out and arrived at the rave in a warehouse on the Kernick Industrial Estate at around 2.30am on October 10.
At one point during the event he asked his friend James Edwards if he'd like to 'share a line'. Mr Edwards told the inquest he took this to mean drugs.
They went outside and found a VW camper van and asked the owner if they could go inside. They agreed and once inside James drank a bottle of beer but when he asked Sam for his share of the drugs Sam told him he'd taken them all.
"I said 'What all of it?'" said Mr Edwards "You're nuts." They went back into the rave but at around 5am Sam became agitated and was taken outside. He collapsed on the ground and became incoherent and was flailing his arms around. He was extremely hot and friends tried to cool him down by pouring water over him. Another friend, Ben Rochester, told the inquest in a statement that Sam's heartbeat "was going crazy".
An ambulance was called but paramedics had to call the police for assistance because Sam was flailing around violently and proving impossible to treat.
Truro coroner Emma Carlyon was told that the police had to put handcuffs onto his wrists and strap him onto the stretcher before he could be taken to hospital.
PC Paul Shimmon, who accompanied Mr Thornton to the hospital, told the inquest that he did not think Sam Thornton was being deliberately violent but felt it was uncontrollable and that Sam was operating in a different dimension. He was hallucinating and still seemed to think he was on the dancefloor.
Once at the hospital he was treated by the team at the A&E department but his condition rapidly deteriorated and at around 9.15am he suffered a cardiac arrest and, despite the best efforts of the medical team to revive him, he was declared dead at 10am.
Dr Hugh Jones, consultant pathologist, at the Royal Cornwall Hospital at Truro told the inquest that Sam had died "because he took ecstasy."
Recording a verdict of accidental death Emma Carlyon said Mr Thornton had died as a result of taking ecstasy.

zeo - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkYup, it actually comes with the keyboard dock... Though, no secondary battery in the dock but the 31WHr battery in the tablet is pretty large for a 10.1" (Surface RT has a 30WHr and it's a 10.8" for comparison) and they're claiming it will still get about 11 hours and that should be plenty for most people...
Especially, since like many ARM tablets it supports Always Connected Standby and very efficient power sipping to the point you can probably only need to charge it every few days to once a week or so, depending on usage... it won't drain significantly when not being used like traditional x86 devices...
The dock also provides a USB 3.0 port as added bonus...
The Z3740 isn't as powerful as the Z3770 Anandtech benchmarked but it still averages double Clover Trail... PCMag ran a CPU intensive test on it and it finished in about half the time the same test completed on a Clover Trail tablet... Reply

MUSKEGON, Mich. - A West Michigan girl whose face was mauled by a pet raccoon in 2002 when she was three months old is expected to get a series of reconstructive facial surgeries.
Family and friends of Charlotte Ponce, now 10, are holding a spaghetti dinner fundraiser Friday at Fellowship Reformed Church in Muskegon.
Money will help pay for travel and lodging in the Detroit area for family to accompany her for the surgeries.
The Muskegon Chronicle reported that Charlotte's nose and lips will be reconstructed.
The raccoon attacked the infant when her parents left her unattended at their home near Ravenna, about 15 miles east of Muskegon.
According to the family's website Charlotte spent months in the hospital after the attack.
Charlotte and her brother were later removed from the home and put into foster care.
She was adopted by her great-aunt and great-uncle in 2005 after the state terminated the biological parents' rights.
Donation information for Charlotte can be found by visiting the family's website.

COMMUNITY radio champion Shirley Ludford has dedicated a prestigious award for her services to the town to the volunteers at Swindon 105.5.
The community station's manager picked up a High Sheriff of Wiltshire award for promoting philanthropy and devoting her time freely to help others.
William Wyldbore-Smith presented the trophy to Shirley at a special event at the Tri-Centre, as the Zurich Community Trust also picked up a gong on the night.
She said she was delighted to be a recipient so soon after the station, based in the Bentley Centre, Stratton Road, turned six years old.
"It's lovely to have that recognition, particularly for 105.5, because it has been a lot of work and we've had some marvellous successes," she said.
The former BBC Wiltshire presenter, known to her fans as the voice of Swindon, has been at the forefront of many of the town's major events and organisations over the years, including the Pride of Swindon awards and the former Swindon's Got Talent competition, which discovered X Factor star Jahmene Douglas.
But it's the more low-key victories that Shirley feels are most important.
"Since we started the staiton six years ago we have had young people going to college and university, others have gone into the media business and we've given opportunities to people who have not otherwise been able to get work," she said. "That is why I carry on doing it.
"It was quite emotional when they were reading out the citation for the award, and they even mentioned when I was 17 years old and was teaching local Polish women English.
"The award was for outstanding achievement and promoting philanthropy, most recently as head of Swindon 105.5. Really this award is for them, the station would not be what it is without them."
Swindon 105.5 last year won a five-year extension to its licence and there have been a whole host of intitiatives, including working with Wiltshire Police to give young people a chance in radio.

Just so you ladies know, I'm making huuuuuge strides (no pun intended) when it comes to wearing prints. Especially floral prints and bright colors. Yesterday, I attended an event (post coming soon) and I decided to wear this floral H&M pencil skirt that's been sitting in my closet for a few weeks. I fell in love with it the minute I saw it and I had to buy it. You've probably seen it on some other bloggers…cause it's beautiful!
I'm a size 16 and this is a size large. It fits comfortably (material has stretch) and I adore it. It has an exposed zipper in the back that I also love. I wore it with an H&M tank (also a large) and my Dolce Vita sandals. I like this tank, but it's a little low in the back, showing my bra strap F.Y.I. The necklace is Forever 21 and the sun glasses are Warby Parker.

Service Systems: Digital Signage
Large-scale digital signage isn't just for Times Square and sporting events anymore it's everywhere. Take a stroll through a mall and you are bound to find dozens of LCD or plasma flat-screens previewing the latest movies, advertising designer jeans, or listing menu items. With monitor costs plummeting and high-speed Internet available almost everywhere, now is the time for the hospitality industry to go digital.
"Traditionally, companies would spend their marketing dollars on television, but that is no longer providing the return or the audience that they received in the past," explains J. Joseph Finizio, executive director of the Retail Solutions Providers Association, an industry association that represents technology manufacturers to the retail end-user market. "They are paying more in dollars, but are not getting much reach. Dollars are now going into Internet ads and into digital displays in the retail segment, be it stores, hotels, or food service."
According to a Forrester Research report about high definition (HD) technology at the point-of-sale, "Retailers will need to start including digital signage solutions in their marketing efforts in order to remain competitive." Forrester states that retailers could see sales lifts from 15 percent to 60 percent if they use digital signage to catch consumer attention.
Menus on demand
From Europa to Chop't, many quick service and fast casual food providers have replaced traditional (and pricey) static menu boards with flat-screen monitors that can be changed at a moment's notice.
At the cost of $1,500 to $2,500 for a static board, it is often more practical to leave a bad item on the menu than buy a new board, says Clint Eatherton, CEO of 7th Heaven Eatery in Phoenix, Arizona. Eatherton realized the benefits of easily modifiable digital displays and as such had four 46-inch NEC (www.necdisplay.com) monitors installed in the restaurant's new Scottsdale location.
"The displays offer creativity in terms of video and photos, allowing the user to change the look of the menu according to breakfast, lunch, or dinner," Eatherton says. "We calculated our return on investment as six years on the initial displays, but now that we developed the template, we expect to meet ROI in two and a half years for new stores."
The menu boards can be hardwired to the point of sale system and controlled through a menu-item usage program. Many software providers, such as Epicure Digital (www.epicuredigital.com), offer digital-display control programs that run on Web-based servers so the menus and advertisements can be controlled remotely. "In this scenario, you can go on the Internet and update pricing instantly," Eatherton says. "This is great if you are in a large company and you have to maintain pricing throughout many different regions."
Hotel communication
In hotels, digital signage is used primarily for event information or internal marketing but not so much for external advertising. Some hotels are attempting to fund the cost of digital signage installation by running ads on the signs, but most properties haven't found the practice fruitful.
There is also a heated debate about how to gauge the ROI of digital signage in the hotel space. Advertising can't be measured by traditional cost per thousand metrics. In retail, businesses can track the number of people that pass a sign, but can't measure whether it leads to a sale. Food service can use a similar tracking system, but there isn't a comparable ROI measurement system for hotels.
The Marriot-Anaheim is trying to sell airtime (during meetings at the adjacent convention center) to run commercials on its eight large-format Pioneer (www.pioneerelectronics.com) plasma screens, but as of press time had yet to make a deal. Most of the time, the screens show directional displays and in-house signage.
"The screens have a huge amount of potential and we barely scratch the surface," says Lynn O'Brien, Marriott's senior convention coordinator. "They can be used in so many ways that we are still playing catch up technology-wise."
The Marriot runs all of its displays through Omnivex's (www.omnivex.com) backend system, which resides on the company network as part of its server. Content is generated on the server and is sent via hardwired cabling over the Internet to small players nestled close to the displays. The signal is then fed directly to the screens.
"This gives us the flexibility to send a different program or schedule to each digital display," O'Brien says. "It's a little more involved than a reader board system and you need to have a little more experience with video and graphics to take full advantage of the system."
Going beyond advertising, one company is networking with external partners in a whole new way. Using a content system created by Flyte Systems (www.flytesystems.com), the Sofitel Chicago O'Hare hotel displays flight information from nearby Chicago O'Hare airport directly to a flat-screen monitor in the hotel lobby. Departure and arrival times are piped over the Internet through a live IP address. The system runs on the same Internet connection that the hotel uses to access the World Wide Web.
"People have so many things to do and juggle and it's so common for people to go from one city to the next," says Pierre Louis Giacotta, general manager of Sofitel Chicago O'Hare. "This technology offers one less thing that the guest has to do at the airport. It's also giving us an extra service to offer guests that they might not even know about."
Although monetizing and taking full advantage of digital displays might require a learning curve for the hotel industry, installation seems to be painless. Most systems consist of three components: a software content program, a content player or media pod, and monitors. The content management systems can be loaded onto the in-house computer network much like any other software. The signal is fed over the network to the media pods and then sent to monitors via CAT6 Ethernet cables. Media pods are small enough to fit in utility closets or even behind the monitors (if the hotel wants to do a little renovation). Finally, the monitors are mounted using traditional television mounting brackets.
Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino is considering updating its Key West Technology (www.keywesttechnology.com) media pods to show moving commercials rather than still images and is considering adding text crawls across the screen that stream hotel information. "You can't load thirty images onto these systems because you are trying to catch peoples' attention for the two to three minutes they are sitting at a slot machine or the minute and a half that they walk by the signs," says Prairie Meadow's Ryan Dunn. "So we try to keep the images to three at a time."
The casino is replacing all of its backlit signage throughout the casino with digital displays that are hooked up to media pods that control what is being shown on the 40-inch Sony (www.sony.com) LCD screens mounted in portrait mode.
"You can schedule every single one of these signs from a centrally located computer that ties into the company's network," Dunn explains. "Each pod is then designated to each TV so using your network you can find a media pod, download content to it and the second the content downloads, the media pod acts as a separate computer and will cycle through what you want it to show according to a prewritten schedule."
Giacotta says that digital signage offers both convenience and a wow factor. Hotels and restaurants need to keep up with the Joneses. Consumers are now dropping thousands of dollars to upgrade boxy televisions to fancy flat-screens. The professional signage and display market is in the double digit billions and hotel and food providers need to catch up, be it at the counter, in the guest rooms or in the lobby. The price point on LCD and plasma screens have dropped from obscene to affordable and it's only a matter of time before static menu boards are obsolete.
"People used to go into hotels and they would have a phone, a television Ã.'¬" things they didn't have at home," Giacotta says. "Now, it's the opposite. Homes have Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs Ã.'¬" if the hotel doesn't have these things it is perceived as outdated. The paradigm has completely changed and people are expecting more and more technology."

Not being one for taking a lot of physical risks, I'm still considering taking the dive. After all, the very worse that could happen is that I die. Would it be painful? Maybe. Would it be brief? Definitely. Would it be considered suicide? Not if I expected to live when I leaped.
We see so much hand-wringing about the so-called fiscal cliff. My thought is to go for it and take the leap. What could possibly happen that is any worse than what we'll be left with if we don't?

Top Five Spring Beauty Trends to Wear Now
Spring Runway beauty trends you can wear to shake off the winter blues.
-Clare Wilder, NewYorkGirlStyle.com
In just a few short weeks, spring will be back. Hooray! Back in September we ooh'd and ahh'd over the spring fashions that we (hoped) would hit the stores in time for warmer weather and bluer skies. Of course when you're talking about new clothes, you can't foget about gorgeous eye makeup, great lip colors to try and more. Here are five spring beauty trends that you can wear now, whether or not there's a bluebird singing on a green tree limb.
1. Matte eyes
From the runways of Derek Lam and Jason Wu, designers are trading in the traditional black eyeliner for brighter cheerier colors like yellow, berry, and green. Eyes were amped with swipes of neon color. To keep it from smudging coat lids with a thin layer of concealer and powder before applying your crayola colored eyeliner. One brand that offers a range of these technicolor liners are M.A.C.. Try their chromaline in primary yellow.
2. Lip juicy matte color
Bright cheery colors aren't only seen on eyelids this season it's also written all over our lips. Puckers popped on the runways of Milly and Diane Von Furstenburg. Pumped up watermelon and cantelope colors coincided perfectly with this seasons neon color blocking trend. Not to mention, these lips aren't about to stick to your flyaway locks like the typical lipgloss. You can get this look easily with the stuff you already have in your make-up bag. Dust a bright blush or translucent blush over a pink lipstick.
3. The bun
Twisted whether low or high, the bun is all over the runways of designers like Chloe, Marchesa, and Oscar de La Renta. While some were imperfectly shaped and some tightly twisted, the bun was simply and classically beautiful. The style draws focus on the two big ( very different) trends this season natural and bright makeup and clothing.
4. Nude nails
A natural manicure creates a slimmer, clean, and polished look. Some designers like Prabal Gurung have spiced up this great look with a single bright colored stripe. Try this look with a eyeliner brush dipped in coral. Stripe your neutral nail with a coral horizontal stripe.
5. Pinky blush
The perfect pink can create a fun and flirty look. NARS has a Sexrgasm color that is super sexy, and creates a great pink afterglow. Make sure to apply to the apples of your cheeks to rev up your complexion and bring attention to your eyes and give the illusion of a slimmer face. High beam by Benefit is in liquid form in a baby pink shimmer. This would give you a great natural pink color thatwould glisten in the sun, and accentuate your cheekbones.

General Assembly: Introduction by Ambassador Wittig of the Resolution on "The Situation in Afghanistan
(General Assembly: Introduction by Ambassador Wittig of the Resolution on "The Situation in Afghanistan")
"Mr. President, distinguished colleagues,
It is an honour for my country to introduce this year's draft resolution on "The situation in Afghanistan."
The past year has seen a number of important milestone events for Afghanistan redefining and reinvigorating the long-term partnership between Afghanistan and its regional and international partners. In this context, the resolution sends, yet again, a positive signal of sustained support to Afghanistan, its government and its people. We are happy to see that this message is reinforced by the outstandingly high number of delegations co-sponsoring this resolution.
Germany as a facilitator of the resolution would like to take this opportunity to briefly highlight four key messages of the draft resolution reflecting these developments.
First, this resolution is about transition in the field of security. We note with satisfaction that Transition is progressing continuously. Implementation of the first three tranches of Transition is currently unfolding. Mindful of the many challenges of this process, we are looking forward to its phased completion in the remaining parts of the country: the mid-2013 milestone when all Afghans will be living in areas where the Afghan National Security Forces have taken lead security responsibility is a particularly encouraging step in this regard.
The focus of the resolution is on improving the operational capabilities of the Afghan National Security Forces. At the Bonn conference the international community has committed itself to supporting the Afghan government throughout Transition and beyond towards this end. Increasing emphasis will be put on training, equipping and advising the Afghan National Security Forces as they are gradually taking over full security responsibility throughout the country. With a view to the end of Transitions at the end of 2014 and as part of the wider objective of further empowering and enabling Afghan institutions in line with the Kabul process, this is where our priority rightly belongs.
At the NATO Summit held in Chicago earlier this year, the priority to continue to develop an Afghan National Security Forces capable of providing security to all Afghans was reaffirmed. NATO allies and ISAF partner countries committed themselves to work towards establishing a training, advising and assistance mission, they also reaffirmed their commitment to play their part in the financial sustainment of the Afghan National Security Forces in the long-term with a view to the assumption of increasing financial responsibility by the Government of Afghanistan.
A stable security environment guaranteed by the Afghan National Security Forces is key to the further development of Afghanistan. In this context, long-term strategic partnership agreements concluded between the Government of Afghanistan and its partners will contribute to creating an environment conducive to establishing lasting peace, security and stability in Afghanistan and the region.
Second, the draft resolution is about a long-term commitment by the international community throughout the Transformation Decade declared by the Government of Afghanistan and its international partners at the Bonn Conference.
During the past decade, Afghanistan has made notable progress in many fields of governance and development, including health, education and infrastructure. Yet, challenges remain in many fields. Afghanistan and the international community, therefore, renewed and reinvigorated their long-term partnership at the Tokyo Conference held in July. Building on a unique framework of mutual accountability the international community has generously pledged to provide 16 Billion US-$ through 2015 in support of the economic and political stabilization of Afghanistan. The international community will furthermore sustain its support at or near levels of the past decade through 2017.
The government of Afghanistan, in return, has committed itself to achieve its development and governance goals such as conducing credible, inclusive and transparent elections, the respect for the Rule of Law and the protection and promotion of human rights in accordance with the stipulations of the Tokyo Mutual Accountability Framework. Afghan ownership is again the foundation for the Transformation Decade as clearly reflected in the principles of aid effectiveness contained in the Tokyo Mutual Accountability Framework.
Today, the General Assembly will send this renewed message of solidarity to our Afghan partners.
Third, the draft resolution is about regional cooperation. Under the able leadership of Afghanistan and with the strong support of regional and international partners, the Istanbul Process has shown continued momentum since the Heart of Asia-Ministerial Meeting held in Kabul in June this year. A set of six confidence-building measures will contribute to fostering regional cooperation to enhance political, security and economic stability throughout the region. The Istanbul Process is intended to bring greater coherence to the diversity of valuable regional initiatives.The Process furthermore reflects the interconnectedness of many challenges in Afghanistan. Within this framework, the fight against terrorism and against production and trafficking of illicit drugs is complemented by Confidence Building Measures in the areas of education, infrastructure and economic development aiming at reducing poverty and creating alternative sources of income for the Afghan population.
And lastly fourth, the draft resolution is about support to the Peace and Reconciliation Process. The appointment of the High Peace Council's Chairman Salahuddin Rabbani has revitalized the Peace and Reconciliation Process after the heinous assassination of his father and predecessor in office.
For this Afghan-led and Afghan-owned process to yield sustainable results it needs to be inclusive, respecting the Afghan Constitution and its human rights provisions, the rights of women in particular as well as the set of principles outlined most recently in the Bonn Conference Conclusions.
In this context, the resolution reiterates appreciation for the Government of Afghanistan's efforts on the path to advance this process and reaffirms the continued support of the international community in this regard. Last year, the Security Council by creating the 1988 committee has established an institutional framework conducive to fostering the peace and reconciliation process. First results are encouraging.
Mr. President, to conclude, I would like to express my gratitude to all the delegations from all regions of the world who have actively participated in this year's informal consultations on the draft resolution.Their tireless efforts and sense of responsibility is the foundation on which the strong message of this draft resolution rests.
We are therefore happy to suggest to the General Assembly to adopt, once again, the resolution on "The situation in Afghanistan" by consensus.
I would like to extend my appreciation and gratitude to my distinguished colleague, Ambassador Zahir Tanin as well as to Counsellor Youssof Ghafoorzai and their colleagues, for our excellent cooperation, their trust and friendship.
Germany also thanks, wholeheartedly, the United Nations in Afghanistan and here in New York for their excellent work for the future of Afghanistan. The role of the United Nations and its Assistance Mission in support of Afghanistan will continue to be pivotal in all key areas outlined.
Thank you very much, Mr. President !"

The card works in Backtrack R2, you just have to search: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...upgrading.html
Hello I'm trying to test my methods on my own wireless router in WEP mode.
I am using the original Backtrack 4 release version posted in the downloads section not R1 or R2 as R2 would not even see the wireless card at all.
I've installed it on a boot-able flash stick with no issues.
I have a laptop with a Intel 2200BG chipset and have never been able to get a definitive answer about whether or not it can do injection with the ipw2200 driver supplied with backtrack 4, the dates of all the other posts are fairly old and refer to changes needed in the driver, and some say no changes needed for injection.
I search all over the web using Google and keep getting sent back to this site and here all past post about similar issues, all tell the poster that he should search better and that they basically are not very smart for not searching Google. One big circle.
here is what I've tried so far and the progress I've made.
start with airmon-ng and found that the wireless card on this laptop is ID'ed as eth1.
I have found this is very common for this card and is of no worry.
So I use, airmon-ng start eth1
and get this response. interface eth1 chipset Intel 2200BG Driver ipw2200(monitor mode enabled)
I leave this window open and start a new terminal.
then I confirm my test signal from my home router with airodump-ng eth1
After confirming that I am receiving many AP's along with my test AP I then
use airodump-ng --bssid xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx --channel 6 --ivs -w mytestssid eth1
I start seeing beacons and data counting up, data counting up slowly.
I then leave this open and open another terminal and use aireplay-ng -5 -b xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx eth1.
I get this response
No answer, repeating
trying a LLC NULL packet
sending fragmented packet
still nothing, trying another packet
I hit 'y' for yes
and it just goes on.
Oh the .ivs file does continue to get larger but I'm afraid it would take days to get enough packets from a system that has little or no activity.
So I then tried aireplay-ng -9 eth1
It finds all WEP encrypted AP's in my area but no answers.
To me from what very little I know this is telling me I am not able to inject packets?
Any help or constructive suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time to read this poorly written question.
The card works in Backtrack R2, you just have to search: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...upgrading.html
Back|track giving machine guns to monkeys since 2007 !
Do not read the Wiki, most your questions will not be answered there !
Do not take a look at the: Forum Rules !
And since you arent creating packets to cap with a client connected to the station you might try using a arp replay attack instead. It tends to give about 250 ivs per second when it works.
Wielder of the spoon of doom
Summercon, Toorcon, Defcon, Bsides, Derbycon, Shmoocon oh my
Come hang out with hackers on twitter @gunrunr556
As far as my aireplay commands, I almost never use -5, I never need to. I have always had success with aireplay-ng -1 0 -a (BSSID) -e (ESSID) mon0(or interface). After I get a success, then I start my aireplay -3 -b (BSSID) -h (Faked Mac - Optional) mon0.
Going back to your packet injection, I have seen the same thing "no answer, etc." but if you test using aireplay-ng -9 (interface) It will tell you if injection is working.

|Elevator Pitch Competition
|Date: November 14, 2012
|Location:Santa Barbara
|Elevator Pitch Competition. MIT Enterprise Forum of the Central Coast. You only get one chance to make a good first impression. This maxim has special meaning for entrepreneurs seeking funding. Venture capitalists and angel investors are busy people with hectic schedules. They hear hundreds of pitches a month. If and when an entrepreneur gets an audience with an investor, his or her case for why this venture is better than any other must be clear, concise and compelling. The entrepreneur must have a great "elevator pitch," named so because it should be delivered in the time it takes a VC to ride an elevator from the lobby to the penthouse, no more than a minute or two. The successful elevator pitch gets an investor's attention and earns an opportunity to deliver a complete pitch. See http://www.mitcentralcoast.com

Bulldogs bounce back, blank Heat 3-0
Twenty-four hours after an utterly abysmal performance, the Hamilton Bulldogs looked like a different team on Saturday against the Abbotsford Heat.
The Montreal Canadiens farm team was energetic and physical from the opening faceoff, and goalie Cedrick Desjardins – a longtime Heat tormentor dating back to the local club's inaugural 2009-10 season – stopped all 24 shots he faced as the Bulldogs won 3-0 at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre.
It didn't help the Heat that two of their top three scorers, Sven Baertschi and Ben Walter, watched from the press box after suffering injuries late in Friday's 5-1 win. But nevertheless, it was a subpar effort – and a rare one, at that – at home for the AHL's top overall team.
Saturday's defeat marked the first regulation loss at the AESC for the Heat, who had out-scored opponents 42-12 and posted a 9-0-2 record coming in.
"We got a little bit embarrassed yesterday," admitted Bulldogs rookie forward Patrick Holland, whose first-period goal stood up as the game-winner. "Against a good team you're going to get embarrassed on any night you don't come out to play.
"We kind of just re-evaluated where we were at. We came out on a clean slate, tried to work hard and keep it simple."
Holland, a former Calgary Flames draftee who joined the Montreal Canadiens organization in the Mike Cammalleri trade last season, opened the scoring at 4:23 of the first. Stationed in front of the net, he took a centring feed from Brendan Gallagher and chopped the puck over Heat goalie Danny Taylor's glove.
The Heat had the better of the scoring chances in the second period thanks to a pair of overlapping power plays, but Desjardins stood tall. Most notably, he stoned Tyler Ruegsegger, who hammered a one-timer off a feed from Ben Street.
The Bulldogs put the game away with a pair of goals early in the third. After Heat defenceman T.J. Brodie picked up a roughing penalty in the offensive zone, Steve Quailer popped a rebound past Taylor on the ensuing power play.
Taylor was the victim of some bad luck on the next goal, as Louis Leblanc's sharp-angle shot went in off a defender's skate.
In the aftermath, Heat head coach Troy Ward said his charges simply didn't play hard enough.
"I thought it was pretty evident from the first puck drop, maybe the first couple puck battles," he said. "They seemed to get into us pretty good, and our posture was back on our heels right away. We haven't had many games like that all year – this was one of the first times.
"If I was the coach over there, I'd be proud of how they handled the 5-1 loss. They came back, and they pushed pretty hard."
Ruegsegger said he could sense in warm-ups that the Hamilton crew was motivated after laying an egg the night before.
"You've got to credit them – they came out with a lot of heart tonight, and we didn't match it," he noted.
Bulldogs coach Sylvain Lefebvre lauded the play of Desjardins, whose highlight reel included a larcenous glove save on Max Reinhart in the first period.
"He brings the team confidence," said Lefebvre. "He breathes confidence. It shows. The guys like to play in front of him. Not that they don't like to play in front of (Robert) Mayer (the starter on Friday), but Cedrick went through a tough time at the start of the season. Now he's happy to be back."
The Heat (13-3-4, 30 points) still sit atop the AHL overall standings, while the Bulldogs (7-9-2, 16 points) sit last in the North Division.
• Ward shed no light on the nature of the Baertschi/Walter injuries.
"You know me – they're hurt," he said. "I only worry about the 20 guys that are playing."
• Saturday was the Heat's annual Pucks 'n Paws promotion. Fans were allowed to bring their dogs to the rink, with $5 dog tickets going to support the local SPCA.
• The Heat are return to action on home ice with a Tuesday-Wednesday set against the San Antonio Rampage (7 p.m. both nights).

Guys how about adding the display timer on the wikia header and changing the collapsible button color to white and bold (the show/hide button). And as for the wikia notification, it's not much but it sure will look good. But most importantly, I think it would be nice to add the display timer and change the collapsible button color to white and make it bold. Teppei talk 15:57, 4/6/2013
I only like making the wiki more easy to navigate and more presentable or simpler for users, but their wouldn't really be a need for the timer as the users computer or laptop will have one at the bottom right so I'm not sure on that one but hopefully more people will state their opinion here-- Jmootam1999 16:02, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

icrf - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkAll this 802.15.4 mesh networking connects all these HA devices to each other, but how do they get to the internet? Does a home router/access point need to support this protocol, too, to actually connect those devices to the services that make them useful? Is there another bridge piece of hardware to buy?
Also, what's wrong with Wi-Fi? Entering complicated passwords into devices with minimal-to-no UI can be a pain, but is there something else, too? Comparatively complicated protocol that's more expensive to implement and draws more power? Reply
techarcher - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkThe mesh network figures it out, as long as one of the mesh is connected to the internet. So yes, ultimately a home router is involved.
The problem with Wifi is both power and reach. In a Wifi network, typically each device must be within reach of the Wifi router. Mesh networks just have to be in reach of another device, which can pass it along. And with 6LoWPAN or 802.11ah, etc. they are much lower power consumption and lower data rate (since small sensors like your fridge should be sending limited data). Reply
isa - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkI agree with the power disadvantage with WiFi. The mystery for me is why WiFi products don't seem to use mesh via 802.11s that's been out for several years. Reply
Scabies - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkMaking it into an acronym isn't going to make "Internet of Things" a thing. It's still just a buzzword. Can't we just make ultra-low-power-WiFi for its own sake? Reply
ganeshts - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkI would personally wait to see how 802.11ah plays out. Reply
isa - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkI generally agree, although it depends on how soon 802.11ah products will be available. Ganesh is all over that so I look forward to his next update on that. Hopefully manufacturers will have an updated opinion of market timing when the draft 2.0 voting is reviewed and discussed this week at an IEEE conference. Reply
isa - Wednesday, July 16, 2014 - link(facepalm) I just noticed I responded to Ganesh's own comment. Reading comprehension is my friend. Reply
isa - Wednesday, July 16, 2014 - linkI just read the voting comments to the 2nd draft of 802.11ah. I'd say this std will undergo a bit more review. Here's one of the comments from the chair of the entire 802.11 group:
"The S1G study group started with the intent of "re-banding" .11 for the use case of meter reading, i.e., to support existing proprietary functionality. I believe the assumption at the time was this would be a small and quick project.
But I look at what we have - a 582 page draft, which is bigger than .11n, .11ac, .11ad. It has morphed into something that includes multiple kitchen sinks and re-invents mesh and other MAC features like RD.
I believe it has gone way beyond the orginal expectations in terms of scope, and exceeds the scope in the PAR.
I realize that the comment resolution group have no workable way of responding positively to this comment. However, that doesn't invalidate my comment on scope." Reply

I am one of four charter members of the Albemarle Steak Society. We grill every wednesday at midnight. Members rotate grilling by week, and this week happens to be mine. One of the stipulations is that your steak has to be better than last week's. I have to one-up ribeyes with a garlic sage rub that turned out incredibly succulent.
My plan is to grill bourbon marinated steaks over charcoal with hickory chunks. I have read on this board and some other sites that sugar marinated steaks may end up with a bitter taste from the sugar burning. All the bourbon recipes I have read include brown or refined sugar.
I don't want to risk a disappointment, has anyone used a similar recipe? Should I worry about the sugar burning? What cut of meat would you recommend with this recipe? Any other recommendations/advice?
Oh, and hello to everyone on the board, this is my first post. Thanks in advance for the help!

Camelbak Unbottle 100 oz.
A hydration system is an absolute necessity for those participating in active sports and activities. The Camelbak Unbottle 100 oz. is my recommended system. The Unbottle fits perfectly in the Burton AK pack and provides 100 ounces of sweet, refreshing water. The stops at the bottom of the mountain are strictly for alcohol and food consumption, so I rely heavily on my Camelbak to keep me hydrated during a day of catching some freshies, hitting the park or just some good ole free riding. Camelbak makes numerous hydration systems for all types of activities and life styles.

I put this together in hopes that if we have comments on games being played that we would have a dedicated thread to game days.
Also I put a forum for each team. So if you have comments on your team or others we now have places to put what ever you want to say.
This is about as easy as it gets to get people interested in the CFL PSD and hopefully we will get alot more players on here.
Lets see if this works, could be fun.
