How do I make sure bub will still breastfeed after I come back in 2 weeks?
I would be travelling for a while and will be leaving bub (5 months) with his grandma during this time. He has only known direct breastfeeding and has never drank from a bottle in his life. Since I will be away, of course I have to pump milk and leave them a stash. What can we do to minimize the abruptness of the change and what's the best way to feed him while I'm gone so he doesn't have nipple confusion when I'm back? I'd be devastated if he doesn't want to breastfeed anymore and would prefer a bottle instead.

Hello and welcome to the forums!
How long will you be away from your little one and when do you leave? Have you started storing milk yet? I'll give more suggestions once I know a little more about how long you will be gone from him.

Hi Kate,
I'll be leaving two weeks from today and will be gone for two weeks. As far as storing milk, I've bought a pump already and storage bottles, but I haven't started storing. I don't really know how much to store, or how often I should pump. Not to mention that I still have to feed him while I'm here.

Hi Wolfysmum,
Well... what you are proposing may prove to be challenging. So let's just start with helping bub to want the breast when you return.
As you are already aware, giving him a bottle could cause nipple confusion AND he could decide that he really likes the fact that he doesn't have to work to get the milk (compared to having to suck, suck, suck until you have a let-down, producing a stream of milk).
The fact that he has been breastfeeding for 5 months is a positive for you. If Grandma gives him a bottle while you are away, he may go right back to the breast when you return, without any problem. However it's really hard to know whether he will do this or not.
In order to pretty much guarantee that he won't get attached to the bottle, Grandma would need to feed him from either a cup or by spoon. This would take a lot more time and patience on her part (and possibly on baby's) and you would need to talk to Grandma to see how she feels about this. Really listen to how she responds and read her body language. If she says she'll do it just to put your mind at ease, she may end up not putting the effort into it, and giving the bottle. If she feels it's really important, then she may be willing to put the time and effort into this.
Ultimately I wouldn't expect anyone to do this for my baby, for 2 weeks. I might for one day, but certainly not for 2 weeks. I'm also assuming that Grandma will have your 4 year old as well, which means that she will have two children to look after and less time for working with baby (feeding by cup or spoon).
If you decide to leave a bottle with Grandma, you will want to leave a slow feed nipple so that baby has to work harder to get the milk than if you left a medium or fast flow nipple. I think I would leave a slow flow nipple and a medium flow nipple but ask Grandma to start with the slow flow nipple. If baby gets too frustrated trying to get milk, then Grandma would want the option to offer a flow of milk that would make baby happier.
You might be able to have Grandma use a sippy cup - this is another thing she could try. Any other mums who have experience offering a sippy cup of breastmilk while away from baby please share your experiences.
Pumping and storing - I don't know if you're going to be able to store up enough milk in two week's time, to feed bub for 2 weeks while you are away. Again, this is going to take a lot of time and dedication on your part for the next 2 weeks.
Milk supply is highest in the morning, and lowest in the evening. Therefore, you may be able to wake up 2 hours before bub's first feeding and pump both sides. Then when bub wakes up, you could try feeding him on one side and pumping on the other. You may find that he's still hungry after just one side, and then you'd likely need to offer him the milk you just pumped. Or you could let him suckle on the empty breast to help pacify him and increase your milk supply.
Ultimately it would be great if you could get him to take only one side per feed, while pumping on the other side so you can store that milk. Switch sides at each feed. If he feeds on the left side one time, then offer him the right side at the next feed. This will keep stimulation even and milk supply even in both breasts (will also help you to not have one side bigger than the other).
I'm going to take a guess here, but at 6 months of age (which is what he will be when you leave him) I'm guessing he may take 8 ounces of milk every 2-3 hours.
As a final thought... is there any way that you could take your baby with you? God created the breastfeeding relationship to work well when mother and child are together, and He intended this to be all day and night for at least the first year of life. Have you ever noticed that when you leave your baby for more than a couple of hours, your body reminds you that your baby needs to eat because your milk will let down when it's time? It doesn't matter where you are or what you're doing - and you may end up with a wet shirt, because baby needs to eat (and it's time to feed).
If there is any way you could postpone your trip until baby is older, or you could take him with you, that would be ideal. Would Grandma be willing to go with you and care for baby when you're not available? At least you could then breastfeed him at night and possibly during lunch break which would mean you wouldn't have to pump at night and would have to pump less during the day.
Which reminds me of one other thing I need to address and that will be keeping your milk supply up while you are away.
My 3rd child had open heart surgery when he was 2 1/2 months old. I was breastfeeding full time and I needed to keep my milk supply up while he was in the hospital so that I would have plenty of milk when he was able to feed again.
So this meant that I used a hospital grade pump (I had one that I purchased and was portable), and I pumped every 2 hours (religiously). It took me about 20 minutes to pump (I pumped both sides at the same time) and then 10 minutes to clean the pump. So if I started pumping at 12:00 noon, I was done and cleaned up by 12:30, and an hour and a half later I would start pumping again (2:00 PM).
I found that I had to pump longer than my bub would feed in order to stimulate the breast properly and keep my milk supply up.
I also had to pump during the night. Now, I didn't get up every hour and a half to pump because I really needed my rest. But I would pump at 11PM, and then set my alarm to get up at 4AM, so I had a 4 1/2 hour stretch of sleep. Then I'd go back to sleep and pump at 7AM and then every 2 hours after that.
If you're not able to pump every 2 hours, you may find that your milk supply decreases while you are away and you'll have to work to increase it when you return.
If there are any other mums who can offer suggestions, please do. I just don't see an easy way to guarantee a strong breastfeeding relationship when Wolfysmum returns from her 2 week trip and I'd love to hear more thoughts.
Warm regards,

It will really be a tough two weeks for everyone, especially for Grandma.
I think that's really an interesting suggestion - cup feeding. I will go and have that talk with his Grandma and see if she is open to this. I wonder how bub's gonna take it. He is pretty impatient with milk when he's hungry. Maybe we can do a dry run and see how things go. Then if that doesn't seem to go down too well, I'll go out and get a slow feed nipple.
I would love to hear from other mums about any experience you have with a sippy cup for a 5-month old.
Oh, I would really want to bring him with me, but it is a business trip abroad and I really can't bring him along, much as I would want to.
The pumping does sound daunting, especially as this is my first time to do it. I have a friend who's offered to make me "lactation cookies". I'm hoping this will help with producing enough milk to store. Thank you so very much for the very practical steps that I can do to get started with pumping and storing. I'm all for doing whatever I need to do to make sure the breastfeeding relationship we've established will still be there.
I hope other moms who've had to go through this (or know someone who did) can share your thoughts too!

You have already received wonderful information. I do think using a cup may work better. I started giving mine a cup at a young age, and it did take some getting used too. I would probably start cup feeding now, just offer it once per day, so your son can become more used to drinking from the cup. If the cup does not work, then definitely use a bottle with a slow flow nipple. Grandma should also snuggle with your little one and try to hold him the same way he would be held whilst breastfeeding. She should also let him take the nipple to his mouth, instead of just pushing it in his mouth. Babies naturally root for the nipple, so it is best to try and keep some things as similar as possible.
You should definitely start expressing milk now, as much as possible. Make sure Grandma knows not to overfeed when you are away. Sometimes babies just need to suck, become bored, need comfort, etc. and they aren't truly hungry. It is easier to drink milk from a bottle, so some babies may seem like they just keep wanting to suck on the bottle, but they aren't actually hungry anymore.
This is a good calculator to determine how much milk you may need to leave. I do think using an electric pump would be beneficial. Make sure the flanges (breast shields) on the pump are the correct size, so you can express milk effectively. You can try taking Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle to increase milk supply. It will also be incredibly important for you to keep expressing milk when you are away. Try to express as much as possibler and store the milk safely, so your supply is not lowered. This is a good article about expressing breast milk.
I may think of more to say, but I do want to wish you and your little one the best during this time. I am sure if will be difficult to be away from your little one.

Hi Jessica,
Thank you for these tips. Now I know we should try to keep things as similar to the breastfeeding experience as possible. Cup feeding is definitely a new thing for all of us. I found some online videos and I think we can work with that. I just hope bub doesn't get frustrated because it's a different way of eating! Maybe I can let Grandma know to watch extra carefully for hungry signs. A super hungry baby might not be too happy with a cup, right? I know I wouldn't if I was in his shoes.
I've started eating cookies with fenugreek and oatmeal in it and I've noticed a marked increase in milk supply. I now have a small stash, maybe good for a day (I've just started expressing milk), so hopefully, I can express enough before I leave.
I would definitely need to bring my pump with me when I'm away. Thanks for the reminder! I can just imagine - after two weeks of "hyperlactation" with expressing milk + feeding, I don't think there are enough nursing pads that I can use.
Thank you so much for the wonderful, wonderful links and information. Feel free to add more. There might be a mom who'd find herself in the same situation and this would really really help.

Another option to keeping baby at the breast while you are away (and thus having a baby happily accept the breast when you return) would be to have Grandma use a lactation aid.
Here's a good video that shows how to use a lactation aid.
Grandma would just offer her breast (even if it's an "old, tired breast") and baby would suckle with the little tube of milk, and feed that way. If it were my baby, and I were leaving him with my mother-in-law (who is a breastfeeding proponent) I would ask her if she would consider doing this, and my guess is that she would.
Glad the fenugreek/oatmeal cookies are working and milk supply is increasing. Keep up the pure water intake (because breastmilk is mostly water) and be sure you continue to care for yourself while you are away, eating very healthy meals, taking your supplement(s) like prenatal vitamin, and getting enough rest. If you get too stressed and not enough rest, and eat unhealthy meals on top of that, it could impact your milk supply.
Oh - and if you forget to take your pump, your body will remind you that you need to feed/pump, and you'll get engorged and it will be very painful, and then you could end up with a breast infection, so it's critical that you take your pump. If not, you'll want to pick one up when you get there - it's just not an option to be without one, unless you're going to spend a lot of time manually expressing.
One other thing you may want to consider is introducing solids. Mashed banana and mashed avocado are great foods, and the avocado has a nice, healthy fat content, which will make him feel full longer. If you decide to try something like rice cereal, you may want to include some pureed prunes with it so that he does not become constipated (rice can constipate). A constipated baby is an unhappy baby, so we want to be sure to keep his bowels going.
Sounds like you're definitely on the right track. Your children are very blessed to have a mother who cares for them so much and wants the best for them.
Warm regards,

Dear wolfysmum,
Looks like you have already had some great advice above.
I just wanted to add that, seeing as you will need to be regularly expressing your milk, you may want to speak to your employer in advance about this. Employers need to support breastfeeding mums to express and store milk at work (there is legislation surrounding this). They should provide somewhere suitable (and private) for you to express.
As you are going on a business trip I guess you will not be in your usual place of work? Do you know what facilities there are available so you can pump in private to maintain your milk supply? Your employer should do their best to support you so that you can continue to provide the best source of nourishment to your baby.
Also, another thought, when I fed my exclusively breastfed baby expressed breast milk I used a Medela Breastflow bottle which is similar to the bottle in this link. The baby has to almost 'latch on' to this bottle to feed from it so it more closely simulates breastfeeding than a normal bottle. However, your baby will probably need to practice with this before your trip. Also, I found my baby would not take expressed breast milk (in a bottle or cup) from me - it had to be my husband.
I hope all goes well for you.

Lao Tzu says on the character of Tao:
Tao is a hollow vessel,And its use is inexhaustible,Fathomless.
And on the spirit of the valley, he says:
The Spirit of the Valley never dies.It is called the Mystic Female.The door of the Mystic FemaleIs the root of Heaven and Earth.
Continuously, continuously,It seems to remain.Draw upon itAnd it serves you with ease.
The world of Lao Tzu is totally different from the worlds of philosophy, religion, ethics. It is not even a way of life. Lao Tzu is not teaching something - he is that something. He is not a preacher, he is a presence. He has no doctrine for you - he has only himself to offer and share.
Had he been a philosopher, things would have been easy - you could have understood him. He is a mystery because he is not a philosophy. He is not even an anti-philosophy, because both depend on logic. He is absurd. Philosophies depend on logic, anti-philosophies also depend on logic - so the anti-philosophies are also nothing but philosophies. Nagarjuna, a great anti-philosopher, is still a philosopher. He talks, he argues, he discusses in the same way as any philosopher. He discusses against philosophy, argues against philosophy, but the argument is the same. And logic is a whore.
There is a story; one of Lao Tzu's greatest disciples, Lieh Tzu, reports it. Lao Tzu, Chuang Tzu and Lieh Tzu - they are the three pillars of the world of Tao. Lao Tzu goes on talking in epigrams, maxims; he does not even elaborate. But Lieh Tzu and Chuang Tzu, being disciples of Lao Tzu, cannot argue. They go on telling parables, stories, analogies. This word has to be continuously remembered: Tao cannot be explained, only analogies can be given - indications. Tao cannot be discussed, it can only be shown. So a deep sympathetic heart is needed - it is not a question of the mind at all.
Lieh Tzu reports a story, that in his town once it happened: The richest man of the town was crossing the river and the river was in flood. And there arose a great storm and just in midstream the boat overturned. Somehow the boatman escaped, but he couldn't save the rich man. The rich man was drowned. A great search was made.
One fisherman found the body - the dead body - but he asked a fantastic price for it and would not give it up for less. The family was not willing to give so much just for a dead body so they went to a logician, a lawyer, a legal adviser, to ask what to do. Could something legally be done?

'Married To Jonas' returns to E! this Sunday
Listen to Jonas Brothers on iHeartRadio
The second season of "Married To Jonas" is returning this weekend. The E! reality show that follows the lives of older brother Kevin Jonas and his wife Danielle.
This season is expected to include much more of the Jo Bros as a group, as they continue to work on their new album, which still has no release date. It will also feature a behind-the-scenes look at their return to tour life for the first time in three years.
Executive-produced by Ryan Seacrest, the half-hour series was consistently the most-watched program in its timeslot among women ages 18 to 34 last season.
In the sneak peeks released by E!, it looks like the changes may be causing tension for Kevin and Danielle. In one clip, Danielle is shown getting jealous as Kevin talks about the cheerleaders they would be casting for their "Pom Poms" video.
"Married to Jonas" premieres Sunday at 10:30 p.m. on E!

For full context:
The following information is paraphrased from a Student Services Email to the ProCom department.
Our "Southies" moved back into South Aldrich on Thursday, April 9th, 2009. We had a great welcome home BBQ for them provided by STUGO, many of the women from Memorial Hall, men from North Aldrich Hall, staff, faculty, and administration helped the Southies move back in. The rain held off until we had nearly everyone moved in so everyone stayed dry and enjoyed a celebratory experience of moving back into campus housing.
Many of the South Aldrich residents communicated their gratitude to Multnomah for communicating well with them and finding ways to meet their needs throughout this process.
Some Of The Ways Needs Were Met
- MU employees coming in early from Christmas vacation to handle things.
- Some MU employees were on-call 24-hrs a day for student needs.
- Providing Tri-Met passes for all the Southies living in the hotel (run by Eastside Foursquare Church).
- Having students "Adopt-a-Southie" with the goal of serving their Southie and keeping him connected to campus.
- Staff and faculty provided meals for all the Southies at their temporary locations.
- Every displaced Southie was given a generous rooming discount to offset any additional expenses or inconvenience that occurred.
- All damaged personal items were covered by Multnomah and students were able to get reimbursed the replacement cost for each damaged item.
- The commuter center reached out to the Southies, inviting them to use their space and attend any events that they had for commuter students in an effort to make sure they stay connected to campus.
Bonds Not Easily Broken
- A number of students living in the hotel said that they grew closer together during their time at the hotel in a way that may not have happened on campus.
- The men living in the Pacific Street houses and the Scruggs apartments enjoyed the camaraderie of living in a house or apartment together.
- Even though they were very excited to move back in to South Aldrich, our students have shown us how they seek to grow and make the best out of a challenging situation.
Thank You!
- A huge, special thanks goes out to everyone in Campus Support Services for all the hard work they have done throughout this transition process. Without their hard work we would never had been able to make this process flow so smoothly.
- Thank you to students for being so gracious, mature, and understanding of the situation.
- Thanks to Promotions & Communications for everything you have done to help us communicate well. I admire your professionalism and dedication to doing a job well. (Editorial note: Ahh Shucks. It's our job - even if it's weird to publish thanks to us ourselves! Full disclosure: In case you haven't figured it out yet, this blog is published by the ProCom department.)
- Thanks to the Business Office for working out insurance and reimbursements and discounts to students so generously and swiftly.
- Thanks to everyone in Student Services for going above and beyond to serve these affected students and coordinating every department involved in "recovery" - it is a true testament of the commitment to true service to students.
- Thank you to Quality Inn and Roadside Hotel for the discounted occupancy rates and service to students living with them during this time. (Editorial note: Parents and guests, be sure to check them out and tell them that MU sent you when you need a place to stay near campus.)
What Now?
Multnomah will leave the flood Webpage, Twitter feed, and Flickr feed up for the rest of 2009 just in case there are more updates to come.
As of right now, the projects are complete and the students could use our prayers for a strong finish to what has been a very unique year!

I've install the bt4r2, but my wireless card doesn't work.
I don't know why exactly, but I think is because of the bt4r2 is for 32 bits and my pc is 64 bits.
Of course, I installed the 32 bits driver, the 'eth1' interface is up, but the wireless doesn't turn on.
I'm using the drivers from this page:
In the same machine, I've install a 64 bits OS, and take the 64 bits driver from the same page, and it's work perfectly.
So, my question is, why it's happen? why I can't turn it on?
Thanks !!!

I don't think it was terrible, it was obviously aimed at people without knowledge. Remember that if you know about the sport it's easy to assume the general public has a higher level of knowledge than they actually do. Most people know nothing about MMA and BT are trying to see the UFC product to those people.
It's good to see that BT are willing to invest money into the sport. Bodes well for the long-term.
Personally I'd prefer to see the normal US broadcast but hey, I only really care about seeing the fights.
http://www.ChrisReesAcademy.com - http://thetattooedchimp.blogspot.co.uk/
Think it's funny that people posting on a cage warriors forum don't know the name of a cage warriors commentator/safe Mma member and continue to call him 'guy in a bow tie'.
If anyone is to blame its the production team. They put a knowledgable guy in John Gooden with someone who clearly doesn't know anything and expect them to gel. I'm not against the format but it was their first attempt at a sport they havnt done before. There was always going to be teething problems. I'd expect the next broadcast to be a lot better

I think John did brilliantly.
Its no easy job when you are in a studio expected to work with someone you have never met before and expected to fill time as someone shoves a camera in your face and gives you time cues in your ear. You don't have the benefit of a script and most of time the only research you have is what you do on your own. I think John is one of the most knowledgeable guys in the sport and as I said did a fantastic job.
This broadcast wasn't for us... It was clearly aimed at the non-mma public. The blonde did the best she could with what little knowledge she had. Imagine if you were put into a studio and asked to do the same for a fencing tournament... How knowledgable would you be??? They need presenters who know how to dress for TV and who can handle themselves in front of the camera and think on their feet.
I do think that BT has done the best job to date of any major broadcast when it comes to educating and creating new fans. I for one hope they keep the format. Maybe add a third person in the mix... maybe a US fighter like Kenflo or someone else who is public broadcast friendly.
You guys should try saying something nice for a change and quit being so snypey! It might go a long way to improve our sport!
Haven't seen many of you guys step up and put yourself out there for public opinion!
The bow tie bloke definitely knew what he was on about and had to field inane questions from his co presenter, the blonde bird who was truly awful. He had a hard job to be fair. Not a fan of the bow tie but thats irrelevant. GAD does not do presenting well; I respect the bloke a lot for his work in getting first rate exposure for MMA but he should stick to Journalism and opinion pieces on TV; anything but presenting, very amateur and foppish.
I just wonder what GAD would do if he came across a really negative story about the UFC.
Dan Hardy talks Swick, GSP and Daley and trains with new thai coach at Libery gym in Nottingham HERE
Having sat next to John at several events and heard his commentating I am sure he knows what he is talking about and is immensely enthusiastic about his job.
As above the whole thing needs to be pitched at the viewers who may be either hardcore fans and fighters themselves to people who have never seen MMA / UFC before and have tuned in to see a tear up, the full spectrum has to be covered. There is SO much to MMA as we all know that explaining the nuances and technicalities of BJJ to a casual viewer who only knows boxing would not have worked either.
UFC is a big thing for BT and for UKMMA and I think we should give them a chance to get it right which may take a little time but if done correctly this could be really beneficial to everyone.
Met GAD once didn't like him

I thought John did a great job.
The women and GAD were shit BUT I get what BT are trying to do.
The show was not for hardcore fans it was an introduction to MMA for new fans , guys that usually watch football and rugby on BT Sports and thus they tried to make the format recognizable and familiar for them.
Will it work? fucked if I know but time will tell.
People who train will know that it is one thing to do something in the gym but another to do it in the cage, presenting and commentating is no different and when you are under the spot light not saying anything stupid or freezing or stuttering and loads of other shit is really hard and its a skill.
I am absolutely sure that sitting at home with a guy who has never seen MMA before I would be able to explain everything to him clearly and be very composed but put me on live TV at 7.30pm and the exact same composure and technical knowledge sure has hell wont all happen as I want it too.

"We were hoping we could finish the season, but things happened that you just couldn't control. We're planning on having a team next year and we're hoping things work out. But we're really disappointed for our girls."Assistant coach Rudi Raynes-Kidder echoed Osborne's sentiments."We're very upset about it," Raynes-Kidder said. "It's devastating because last year we had the No. 1 defense in the Cardinal Conference. Throughout the summer, the girls were playing fall ball and we had numerous people come up and say we were a state tournament-caliber team as well."We had the numbers to prove it - last year was one of the best seasons Poca has had in years."Poca head coach Rudy Raynes, father of Raynes-Kidder, broke the news to his team over the weekend."I told them it was a shame that it had to happen," Rudy Raynes said. "One of them cried and they were just kind of speechless. I was pretty sad about it myself." The Dots were 0-3 thus far, with losses to Scott, Buffalo and Nitro. The Dots lost by just two to the Bison and were leading Nitro at halftime.Adrian Cunningham, perhaps the Dots' top player, injured her knee in the first quarter of the Nitro game and was out at least three weeks, according to Raynes-Kidder. Freshman Haleigh Mace was also playing through injury and Poca was down to five players at practice last week.Despite the low numbers, Raynes-Kidder said the team was ready to battle on."Last week at practice, we were practicing with five on two days and six on the last day of practice," Raynes-Kidder said. "It's very hard to have a constructive practice when you have no defense to go up against. But up until the last day of practice, they were still working hard."Cunningham, Harley Williard and Lauren Harrison are each seniors who have apparently played their last games in high school.But despite the unfortunate end to the season, Raynes-Kidder sgaid the future of the program is in good shape. "We'll absolutely have a team next year," Raynes-Kidder said. "There's a lot of middle school interest and things like that. Poca will have a team - there's no question about that at all."Reach Ryan Pritt at 304-348-7948 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Ubuntu Quantal Internet
Internet Applications
Internet applications enable you to make full use of your Internet connection. Web browsers, Email clients, Instant Messengers, and more are included in this category.
Web Browsers
Mozilla Firefox
Mozilla Firefox is the ubiquitous web browser. Based on open source components, it is trademarked and cannot be altered or re-distributed with any change that involves the name or trademarks. Install the current version:
sudo apt-get install firefox
Firefox Plug-ins
The Firefox web browser supports a wide variety of third-party add-ons, extensions, and plug-ins. They are referred to as "plug-ins" in this guide (the original term) but many are found and configured under the "extensions" or "add-ons" tabs in Firefox (once they are installed).
- Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions (or Plug-ins)
Adblock Plus plug-in (block ads in a web page)
Adblock Plus blocks ads that appear in web pages. It is an important tool to limit tracking and undesirable website elements, as well. You can subscribe to a free filter service, and can add to the block list individual ads and website elements with a single click.
sudo apt-get install xul-ext-adblock-plus
- You can also add this extension from Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Get Add-ons -> Search All Add-ons -> AdBlock Plus. (This method will also ensure that automatic updates are installed by Firefox.)
- Recent versions of Adblock Plus allow the display of a large number of "partner" ads unless you disable this undesirable behavior:
- Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Adblock Plus -> Preferences -> Filter preferences... -> Allow some non-intrusive advertising (unticked)
Because Adblock Plus appears to now be creating holes in its own blocking service, it is probably worthwhile to stop automatic updates and only update Adblock Plus selectively (in case the developers in the future decide to create even more holes in the plug-in's blocking capability without the corresponding option to disable the behavior).
NoScript plug-in (controls scripts)
The NoScript plugin is considered one of the most important security measures for browsing the Internet. Most viruses and trojans gain access to computers from the Internet through scripts. This plugin allows you to choose which scripts to allow and blocks the rest.
- Add this extension from Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Get Add-ons -> Search All Add-ons -> NoScript. (This method will also ensure that automatic updates are installed by Firefox.)
- NoScript has a long of websites on its "whitelist." It is important to review this list and remove the websites for which you don't wish to automatically allow scripts (I remove them all).
- Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> NoScript -> Preferences -> Whitelist
- A large number of websites use multiple locations/URLs to assemble their webpage content, a process which is blocked by NoScript's ABE (Application Boundaries Enforcer) function. I have found it necessary to disable ABE in order for most of my websites to function correctly.
- Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> NoScript -> Preferences -> Advanced -> ABE -> Enable ABE (unticked)
- Many websites now use aggressive pop-ups to place advertising in front of the actual content. While NoScript can block these ads, there will be a "placeholder" still blocking the content unless you turn off the placeholders:
- Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> NoScript -> Preferences -> Embeddings -> Show placeholder icon (unticked)
- Most websites use scripting extensively these days, so that you may need to "Allow" a website in NoScript. To block the individual undesirable elements of the website, use AdBlock Plus.
Bookmark Favicon Changer plug-in
In the newest versions of Firefox, there are some bugs regarding the Favicons (the small icons that appear in the address bar) and the Bookmark icons. This plug-in will restore the icons that get erased (leaving a blank dotted box) or allow you to choose your own Favicons / Bookmark icons.
- Add this extension from Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Get Add-ons -> Search All Add-ons -> Bookmark Favicon. (This method will also ensure that automatic updates are installed by Firefox.)
RefreshBlocker plug-in (prevents redirects)
RefreshBlocker allows the user to decide which websites (and pages) will be allowed to redirect (based on META tags within the webpage). Although Firefox (as of version 3.5) blocks all directs by default, the behavior is not customizable; it is therefore preferable to turn off the Firefox redirect control and use RefreshBlocker instead.
- Add this extension from Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Get Add-ons -> Search All Add-ons -> RefreshBlocker. (This method will also ensure that automatic updates are installed by Firefox.)
- Turn off the Firefox automatic redirect blocker:
- Firefox -> Enter about:config in the browser location bar -> right-click on "accessibility:blockautorefresh" -> Toggle to change the value from true to false
Video DownloadHelper plug-in for Firefox
The Video DownloadHelper plugin allows the download of videos (including Flash videos) from sites like YouTube.
- You can add this extension from Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Get Add-ons -> Search All Add-ons -> Video DownloadHelper. (This method will also ensure that automatic updates are installed by Firefox.)
Hide Tab Bar With One Tab plug-in
In Firefox v. 23 and later, the ability to hide tabs has been disabled. This plugin restores the ability to hide tabs if only one tab is open, restoring the function to hide tabs during normal browsing.
- You can add this extension from Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Get Add-ons -> Search All Add-ons -> Hide Tab Bar With One Tab. (This method will also ensure that automatic updates are installed by Firefox.)
User Agent Switcher plug-in for Firefox
The User Agent Switcher plugin allows a browser to masquerade as another browser, allowing browser-specific content to be displayed (most of the time). In the past there were a few old web apps that ran only on IE (and if one is encountered this plug-in may still be useful). Now that Firefox is the world's leading web browser, however, this plug-in should no longer be necessary for the average user.
- A user agent string also identifies your OS. Users of an uncommonly used (and easily identifiable) OS may wish to protect their privacy and not identify their OS correctly; for these users, User Agent Switcher is valuable for privacy reasons. Some users, for example, may wish to identify their very specialised OS as Debian or Red Hat instead.
- You can add this extension from Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Get Add-ons -> Search All Add-ons -> User Agent Switcher. (This method will also ensure that automatic updates are installed by Firefox.)
- To use this add-on, the settings for Firefox must be changed prior to usage:
- Firefox -> about:config -> Search: useragent -> general.useragent.enable_overrides -> Toggle (so that the value is true) -> Restart Firefox
Lightbeam (website crosslink visualization)
Lightbeam is a Firefox plug-in that is able to display the links on a website (to which you are connected) while browsing, giving you an indication of who can see your browsing habits at that moment.
- You can add this extension from Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Get Add-ons -> Search All Add-ons -> Lightbeam. (This method will also ensure that automatic updates are installed by Firefox.)
Unplug Download Management
The UnPlug add-on lets you save video and audio which is embedded on a webpage.
- You can add this extension from Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Get Add-ons -> Browse All Add-ons. (This method will also ensure that automatic updates are installed by Firefox.)
Lucifox (eBook reader extension)
Lucifox (Lucidor for Firefox) enables e-books to be read and e-book catalogs to be browsed in a Firefox window.
- To install, go to the website and click "Download Now."
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for Firefox plug-in
- The IcedTea Plugin allows browsers to execute Java applets. The default icedtea-plugin package points to the icedtea-6-plugin package. Install:
sudo apt-get install icedtea-plugin
- Alternatively, install the IcedTea Plugin for version 7:
sudo apt-get install icedtea-7-plugin
- This package may need to be installed to run Java in Firefox, even if the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is installed using ubuntu-restricted-extras, when installing OpenOffice, or installing the Java enviroment manually.
sudo apt-get install default-jre icedtea-plugin
Note: You must accept the license to use this product.
Adobe Acrobat Reader for Firefox Plug-in
This plugin is allows you to view Adobe Acrobat (PDF) files within the Firefox browser.
- Read Add Extra Repositories and enable the Oneiric partner repository:
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu Oneiric partner
- then install Adobe Reader:
sudo apt-get install acroread
- Alternatively, this plugin is also available from the Medibuntu repository. Add the Medibuntu repository to your repository list:
deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ Oneiric free non-free
- then install:
sudo apt-get install acroread mozilla-acroread acroread-plugins acroread-fonts
Adobe Flash Player for Firefox Plug-in
To install the official Adobe Flash plugin (Flash 10) for Firefox:
sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
Gnash Plug-in (Open source Flash Player replacement)
Gnash is available in a 64-bit version as well as a 32-bit version. It is the open source replacement for Adobe Flashplayer.
sudo apt-get install gnash
After installing, change your web browser's Preferences -> Applications so that SWF and SPL files use Gnash.
VLC plug-in for Firefox
This package allows the popular VLC player to play media within the Firefox browser.
sudo apt-get install mozilla-plugin-vlc
Gecko MediaPlayer Plug-in for Firefox
Gecko MediaPlayer is a browser plugin for all Gecko-based browsers (Firefox, SeaMonkey, IceApe, Opera) that allows Mplayer to play multimedia within the browser. Install:
sudo apt-get install gecko-mediaplayer
An alternative is to use the mplayer plugin for Firefox. Install:
sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer
Kaffeine Plug-in for Firefox
This package allows the Kaffeine media player (often used in KDE-based desktops) to play multimedia within the Firefox browser.
sudo apt-get install kaffeine-mozilla
Helix player plug-in for Firefox
This package installs the Helix player (the open source player that plays Real Player content in Linux) as well as the plugin that plays RealMedia within the Firefox browser.
sudo apt-get install mozilla-helix-player
Moonlight plugin for Firefox
Moonlight is part of the Novell Mono project that is an open source implementation of Silverlight (the Microsoft multimedia presentation platform). It is based on FFMpeg. It is made to work best with the Firefox 3 web browser, as a plugin (but also works with other mozilla browsers). Version 2.3 is available as a plugin for mozilla-based browsers:
sudo apt-get install moonlight-plugin-mozilla
- The stable version 2.4 is available here. The Moonlight 3.99 plugin (compatible with most Silverlight 3/4 content) is here. All source versions are here.
- Netflix under Moonlight
- Netflix streaming requires both the capabilities of Silverlight 2.0 and Digital Rights Management modules. Although the current version of Moonlight 2.0 will run most Silverlight content (including Netflix content), Netflix has not yet released Digital Rights Management modules for Linux. Please contact Netflix directly for further information or sign a petition.
- An HTML5 Netflix plugin (currently being developed by Google for the Chrome browser) may soon be available. Other alternatives are to run Netflix in Wine or to use the Netflix Android app in a virtual Android environment.
FireFTP for Firefox
FireFTP is a Firefox extension for FTP transfers.
Firefox Widgets
Turn off browser bar drop-down list in Firefox
This is the most frequently asked problem regarding Firefox. To turn off the location browser bar drop-down list (and therefore not show your browsing history):
- Firefox -> about:config (in the location browser bar) -> browser.urlbar.maxRichResults -> right-click -> Modify -> set value to 0
Turn off SSL certificate name in address bar
In newer versions of firefox, the validity of the SSL certificate associated with a website is displayed as a color-coded background to the Favicon (the small icon displayed in the address bar). However, Firefox currently also displays the name of the site issuing the SSL certificate, which can be annoying, since for most sites this is a duplicate of the domain name (which then gets displayed twice in the address bar). To turn off this behavior:
- Firefox -> about:config (in the location browser bar) -> browser.identity.ssl_domain_display -> right-click -> Modify -> set value to 0
View Firefox cache
In a new window/tab, enter about:cache in the Firefox address bar. You can view and save individual elements (from all open windows/tabs) in the cache from there.
- Due to trademark restrictions of Mozilla products, the Debian project has created versions of the (otherwise free) software that has been stripped of the non-free trademarks. See here and the Debian wiki for more information. To install them, use a package manager to add the Debian repository for your country ( e.g. deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main ) temporarily while installing the software. Then install the software package using the package manager or from the command line:
- IceWeasel replaces the Firefox web browser (sudo apt-get install -t iceweasel).
- IceDove replaces the Thunderbird email, newsreader, and calendaring client (sudo apt-get install -t icedove).
- IceOwl replaces the Sunbird standalone calendaring client (sudo apt-get install -t iceowl).
- After installation of the individual package, it is best to disable the Debian repository so it does not interfere with the (K)Ubuntu repositories.
- A user that is interested in the philosophy of free software that Iceweasel symbolises may wish to consider a full Debian OS installation (of which (K)Ubuntu is a fork) instead of (K)Ubuntu.
GNUzilla IceCat
The GNU project also maintains a version of Mozilla Firefox that is free of trademarks and branding, called GNUZilla IceCat. .deb packages for (K)Ubuntu can be downloaded and installed through the GNUzilla PPA repositories.
Opera is a proprietary browser and internet suite (currently free on PCs) also used in some mobile devices and gaming consoles. It includes email, an address book, IRC chat, integrated BitTorrent, and webfeeds. A limited number of plugins are also available. Download from the website and follow the instructions or install from the Opera repository:
echo "deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opera.list wget -O - http://deb.opera.com/archive.key | sudo apt-key add - sudo apt-get install opera
Chromium is the open source browser on which Google Chrome is based. It does not include the undesirable user tracking mechanisms of Google Chrome or the Google logos (and is therefore recommended by many users instead of Chrome).
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
Google Chrome
Google Chrome is Google's proprietary web browser. Based on the open-source Chromium browser, Google adds the Google name and logo, an auto-updater system called GoogleUpdate, RLZ (a user-tracking mechanism), and other Google add-ons. To use this instead of Chromium, download and install the .deb package here.
Download Managers

- Thunderbird -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Install -> select downloaded file
sudo apt-get install enigmail
- Also see these tips for instructions on setting up e-mail with PGP encryption.
Miniminize to System Tray
MinimizeToTray revived is a valuable plugin/add-on/extension, IMO. It allows Thunderbird to be minimized to the System Tray instead of to the Taskbar. This allows Thunderbird to run discreetly in the background, checking for new mail and calendar events (e.g. through the Lightning extension). The same plugin/add-on/extension also is available for Firefox. Install:
- Thunderbird -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Get Add-ons -> Browse all add-ons (takes you to an external webpage) -> search for add-ons: MinimizeToTray revived -> + Add to Thunderbird -> Install Now -> Restart Thunderbird
New Mail Icon for Thunderbird
New Mail Icon is an experimental tray add-on which notifies you of new mail. (Note: If you leave Thunderbird running minimized to the System Tray (with the MinimizeToTray add-on, for example), it has a built-in "new message" notifier already, so that this add-on would not be necessary in such a situation.) Download from the website. Install:
- Thunderbird -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Install -> select downloaded file
KMail (Kontact Mail) is the default email client included with Kontact in KDE (Kubuntu). Kontact includes email, an address book, a calendar, reminders, pop-up notes, a link to the Akregator News/RSS reader, time-tracking, and more. Install:

OpenSIPS / OpenSER (SIP server)
OpenSIPS is an open-source SIP server that allows connections to be made through the Internet for VoIP, IM, and other communications protocols. While there are many public SIP servers, these are subject to spoofing and other "impersonation" problems. A company may wish to host its own SIP server to avoid the problems inherent in public services whose trustworthiness can not be determined. OpenSIPS is the successor to OpenSER (which is the version in the repositories). Install OpenSER 1.3.2 from the repositories:
sudo apt-get install openser
Alternately, the newest version of OpenSIPS can be downloaded as a .deb package from the website and installed. Installation and usage instructions are on the website.

West Virginia
Jun 16, 2003
In central West Virginia, three inches of rain fell on steep hills, ran downhill into streams and created flash floods that lasted several hours in Charleston. Streets were instantly transformed into rushing rivers. Homes and big box retailers were heavily damaged. Water shoved cars and trucks on top of each other or into ditches. A carwash collapsed and simply floated away.

A pared-back version of HB143 legislation that mobile-home owners believe would be fair to the folks who own the land under their homes as well as to themselves unanimously cleared a House committee Monday morning.
However, mobile-home park owners have lined up against the measure, maintaining that it goes too far.
Competing property rights lie at the heart of this contentious issue, namely land ownership versus affordable home ownership. And these are not the trailers of the 1950s. In recent decades, manufactured homes have grown in size and price, making them a significant investment that can cost up to $20,000 to relocate from one park to another.
"One of the stated purposes is to protect mobile-home owners from actual or constructive eviction," said HB143 sponsor Rep. LaVar Christensen, R-Draper. For those who have their lot leases terminated, home relocation costs can be out of reach, Christensen added.
Citing mobilehomeparkstore.com, Christensen said that the web site's money-making advice suggested that park owners increase lot rents by about 10 percent each year. With the high cost of moving, most residents opt to stay and pay, he added.
Studies show that 90 percent of mobile homes are never moved again after their initial set-up in a park, Christensen added.
Homeowners agreed to some concessions to get HB143 past its initial legislative hurdle.
The original bill requested 120 days for residents to sell their homes after being evicted, but that language was struck.
"We gave up some things we really didn't want to give up," said Lowell Gallacher, longtime member and adviser of Utah Manufactured Homeowners Action Group.
Even so, the revised bill "accomplishes much more than any previous bill has addressed," Gallacher said. "It's toward fairness, that's the bottom line."
The "much more" has some park owners and their representatives worried. The bill requires that park rules be reasonable; that lot leases be annual, renewable contracts rather than month-to-month; and that the notification period for pending rent and fee increases be expanded from 60 to 90 days.
South Jordan-based attorney Robert Poulsen spoke against the bill Monday, saying rules were often generated by park residents to make living conditions better.
"As far as the rules go…they are brought by the tenants in the community for something that another tenant is doing that they want resolved," Poulsen said, to prohibit actions such as speeding through the park, endangering children, shooting a firearm at someone else's vehicle, getting into fisticuffs or having an unkempt yard.
Shellie McHaley, manager of Taylorsville's Monte Vista Park for the past 25 years, also spoke against HB143, saying she's only had to evict one tenant in that time and that rules enable the park to stay nice and well-kept. The average age of residents in the seniors-only park is 72 years, McHaley added.
Gloria and Daniel Feil have lived there for eight years.
"We love it because it's such a family-type park and it's all seniors," Gloria Feil, 77, said, raving about the yard sales and barbecues that take place as the weather warms, and expressing gratitude for the park's rules.
"It would be devastating if we had to move and leave our home behind, and I wouldn't want to put my beautiful home in another community," Gloria Feil, 77, said. "I've heard horror stories, and it's not good."
Steve Anderson, a retired commercial appraiser, has his own horror story to tell. He and his wife, Nancy, spent eight years in Murray's Cottonwood Coves park until recently.
Last June they filed a lawsuit against the park's owner over rising rents and fees. That litigation is still wending its way through Salt Lake City's 3rd District Court.
"My situation within the park became so untenable that we were forced to sell our home at a significant loss" of about $50,000, Anderson said by phone Monday. He and his wife recently moved out-of-state and their buyer intends to relocate the double-wide structure to Tooele, Anderson added.
McHaley said that lot rents in Monte Vista, including water, garbage and sewer, are $365 per month for a double-wide home, and on April 1, they will increase by $15. Anderson's monthly lot rent in Cottonwood Coves was $539, he said.
"The only way we'd consider another manufactured home is if we were in a co-op," Anderson said, "or if we owned the land."

Years ago, while visiting a friend in California, Bob McCarthy had his first plate of chicken and waffles: crispy, deep-fried chicken pieces served atop a fluffy, plate-size waffle, with slabs of butter and maple syrup.
The simple meal, said the Salt Lake City restaurant and bar owner, offered so many contrasting elements. It was savory and sweet, crunchy yet soft, breakfast with a touch of dinner.
McCarthy thought back to that memorable breakfast when it came time to plan the menu at The Garage on Beck, his roadhouse bar and grill at 1199 N. Beck St. "I just knew in a place like this, it would really sell," he said. "People think it's funky and after you have it, it's just amazing."
Thanks to The Garage and several other Salt Lake restaurants, Utahns are getting the chance to experience this Southern staple, a food trend that peaked on the East and West coasts a few years ago.
The Pig and a Jelly Jar, which opened about six months ago at 401 E. 900 South, has a version on its menu. So does PapaO's, a new Southern food restaurant at 11479 S. St. in Draper. And the Bayleaf Bar and Grub, 159 S. Main St., Salt Lake City, has had chicken and waffles on its menu since it opened in 2009.
At The Garage, chef Liz Guerro and her staff serve about 100 orders each week. The dish costs $9 and comes with three pieces of chicken a leg, thigh and breast. It's a favorite for weekend brunch, but customers also order it for lunch or a late-night snack. The chicken pieces are brined in a mixture of salt, sugar and water, "which hydrates the meat" and keeps it moist, Guerro said. Then they are dredged in a mixture of flour, cracker meal, and "secret spices" before frying.
"The chicken is perfectly cooked, and with a little bit of syrup, it's pretty tasty," says Garage customer Kris Davey.
That explains why people "have been wolfing down chicken and waffles for decades, maybe even a couple of centuries," writes Southern food historian John T. Edge, who devoted an entire chapter to this poultry-meets-breakfast combination in his book Fried Chicken: An American Story.
In the book, Edge points to Edna Lewis, the queen of African-American cooking, who wrote in her first cookbook that fried chicken was a popular breakfast dish for her family when she was a child.
Before that, The United States Regional Cookbook, published in 1939, included a recipe for "Kentucky Fried Chicken," Edge said. The recipe, in the Southern food chapter, instructed cooks to steam chicken pieces until tender, batter-fry them and then serve with griddle cakes, grits and surprise! waffles.
Even further back, the dish has been linked to Thomas Jefferson, who first brought the waffle iron from France. The appliance was enthusiastically adopted by African-American slaves, who combined waffles with chicken and gravy for a filling Sunday meal.
The Wells Supper Club, a popular Harlem eatery that opened in 1938, is believed to be the first restaurant to serve the dish. According to food historians, at the height of the jazz renaissance, the restaurant began to stay open late to accommodate band members and partygoers who were hungry after the shows. The late night (or early morning) menu featured the restaurant's savory fried chicken paired with a sweet waffle. The dish quickly became a hit and other restaurants began serving it as well.
In 1996, singer Gladys Knight, inspired by her own experiences at the Wells Supper Club, opened Gladys and Ron's Chicken & Waffles in Atlanta with fellow vocalist Ron Winans.
Utahns who have traveled to California have likely heard of Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles, which was launched in Long Beach in 1975 by Herb Hudson, a Harlem native. Today, Roscoe's has six Southern California locations.
McCarthy, from The Garage, ate that first plate of chicken and waffles at a Roscoe's. So did Michael Law, co-owner of Saturday's Waffle, a Salt Lake food truck that parks at the Olympus Hills Shopping Center every Saturday. Chicken and waffles aren't on the regular menu, Law said, but the food vendor makes the dish for special events.
Beyond taste, Law says he believes comfort and familiarity are part of the dish's appeal. "People understand waffles and they understand fried chicken, and they usually like both," he said.
Putting them together might initially sound strange, "but most people are willing to go out on a limb and try it because it's different and not that much of a food risk," Law said.

Brined fried chicken
The benefit of brine is that the batter keeps the seasoning from penetrating the meat, but the brine works its way in.
4 cups cold water
1/2 cup of sugar
1/4 cup salt
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
Fried chicken
2 chickens, 3 pounds each, cut into 8 pieces each
Brine (recipe above)
3 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
3 cups of flour
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
3 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
8 cups oil for frying
For the brine, pour cold water into a pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat and add sugar, salt, bay leaf, peppercorns, and coriander seeds. Cool completely.
Put the chicken in a glass baking dish and pour the brine over the chicken. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 12-24 hours.
Remove the chicken from the brine, remove any peppercorns stuck to the skin, and let the chicken dry slightly on a wire rack while preparing the buttermilk and flour.
In a large bowl, stir together the buttermilk with 1 tablespoon of the salt. In another large bowl, stir together the flour with the remaining salt and spices.
Dredge the chicken 4 pieces at a time in the flour. Transfer to the buttermilk, gently shaking the bowl to coat the chicken. Transfer the chicken back to the flour, being careful not to scrape off the batter. Gently shake the bowl to coat the chicken with flour, then transfer the pieces to a wire rack, again being careful not to scrape off the batter. Repeat with the remaining pieces of chicken and let dry on the wire rack for 30 minutes.
Pour oil into a 5-quart pot and heat to 350 degrees. Cook the white and dark meat separately. Place four pieces of chicken into the oil, it will cool to about 300 degrees after adding the chicken; this is the correct heat for cooking the chicken. (See note below). Cook for 5 minutes, then turn the chicken over and cook for an additional 10 minutes for white meat and 12 minutes for dark meat. If the chicken gets too dark, lower the heat. Drain on a wire rack and repeat with remaining chicken. Serve hot or cold.
Note: Keep a close eye on the thermometer when frying; try to maintain a temperature of 300 degrees, which will cook the chicken through without burning the exterior.

Buttermilk waffles
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour*
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk
1⁄3 cup melted butter or oil
2 eggs, beaten
Preheat waffle iron. Preheat oven to 200 degrees
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, soda and salt. In another bowl, mix buttermilk, melted butter and eggs. Whisk together both mixtures an beat until smooth.
When the waffle iron is hot enough for a bit of oil to sizzle, ladle or pour the batter directly into the center of the lower half until it spread to within an inch of the edges. Close and cook according to manufacturers directions. Do no lift cover during baking. Steam will escape from the sides of the waffle iron, so take care not to get burned. When the steam subsides, the waffle is nearly ready.
When waffle is done, lift the cover. Loosen waffle with a fork and remove. Serve immediately or place on a sheet of aluminum foil or an oven proof plate or pan, covering loosely with foil. Keep warm in oven. Meanwhile, close waffle iron to reheat. When ready, pour in batter and repeat cooking process. Thin the batter as needed with more buttermilk.
*Self-rising flour may be used as a substitute in equal measure for the flour. Omit baking powder, baking soda and salt.

I was experimenting on my wireless network with backtrack 4, using the Aircrack suite I was able to hack my 2.4 ghz wifi that operates between 1-14 channels.
What i cant do is, on my ubiquity pico station I set it to operate on channel 11 , but i shft a few mhz up which reads 2464 Mhz. After doing this i configure my stations that is ubiquity stations to do channel shifting on the 2.4 ghz and they were all able to connect nice.
But my laptop could not connect because its not seeing the pico station on the channel, making it invisable to nearly all 2.4 ghz wireless cards out there.
My question is how do I get into the pico station using the Aircrak-ng suite and what device out there is capable of doing that except ubquity devices, which i have not found a way to install the Aircrack-ng onto as yet.

This is the deterrent system that preserves furniture by exploiting a feline's natural aversion to sticky paws. The system includes 24 double-sided, transparent 11 3/4" L x 1 3/4" W strips that stick to (and remove easily without marring) furniture frequented by a feline for scratching. Best when used on surfaces devoid of stain- or stick-free treatments, the strips' medical-grade adhesive is safe for felines. While the adhesive thwarts troublesome scratching, placing the included 32" H scratching post nearby encourages proper scratching. Made from woven sisal�more durable than rope sisal�and superior to carpeted posts that snag claws, the 32" height also encourages healthy stretching behavior while the 16" x 16" base ensures stability. Minimal assembly. Replacing strips weekly until behavior is modified produces optimal results. Post 32" H x 16" W x 16" D. (22 lbs.)

High Quality Cat Claw Post
By Lufrank
from Issaquah, WA
Best Uses
Ideal for cats clawing behavior, and better for their claws than most other similar items. Excellent, sturdy construction, stable, easy to assemble.The sticky tapes included to place on furniture in order to train the cats to use the post are rather tricky to handle and place.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Oklahoma Bans Its Cities From Hiking Minimum Wage
(NEWSER) – An initiative to raise the minimum wage in Oklahoma City has been thwarted by a new law banning cities in the state from setting their own minimum wages or requirements for vacation days. A petition being circulated in the city called for raising the local minimum wage to $10.10—the level President Obama is pushing—from the current federal requirement of $7.25, the Oklahoman reports. The coalition behind the petition says it is considering a constitutional challenge to the new law.

In this tutorial, I am going to explain how to configure and run wpa_supplicant with pre-shared key (PSK) authentication, and make necessary changes to /etc/network/interfaces file in order to obtain connectivity while booting up.
Let's start
1) type wpa_passphrase "your wireless network name" "password" > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Don't forget to remove the commented line including your password in ascii.
2) type iwconfig to learn your wireless interface.
let's say it is wlan0 then you have to add these lines to /etc/network/interfaces file.
STATIC IP ASSIGNMENT (preferred):
orCode:auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet static pre-up wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf # you might change these bold parameters to suit your wireless card and interface. address 192.168.1.2 # change this if this does not suit your gateway's netmask. gateway 192.168.1.1 # change this if your router is on a different ip netmask 255.255.255.0 post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant
ALLOCATE IP via dhcp (TAKES TIME at boot-up)
3) Add a nameserver entry to your /etc/resolv.conf file if you haven't created one:Code:auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp pre-up wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf # you might change these bold parameters to suit your wireless card and interface. post-down killall -q wpa_supplicant
echo "nameserver 18.104.22.168" > /etc/resolv.conf
4) and by default, bt4 starts up in "stealthy" mode and you need to add networking system startup entry by issuing: update-rc.d networking defaults.
5) I suggest that you remove unnecessary interfaces from interfaces file and then type /etc/init.d/networking restart.
Finally, type iwconfig "your wlan interface" to determine whether or not you're associated.
That's all

Louisiana's top School Board next week will consider the hiring of special legal counsel in its bid to press ahead with Common Core test plans, according to a revised agenda issued on Friday.
The issue could be the first step in a nationally watched battle between Gov. Bobby Jindal, who has ordered the tests stopped, against a formerly pro-Jindal state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education and a superintendent whom the governor pushed for the job.
On June 18, Jindal issued an executive order aimed at shelving Common Core exams being prepared by a consortium called the Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers.
He also ordered BESE and the state Department of Education to launch a competitive bid process to come up with new assessments.
A new item added to Tuesday's BESE agenda calls for "consideration of the potential retention of special legal counsel" regarding that and other, related orders by the governor.
What, if any, steps BESE plans to take if a special attorney is hired is unclear.
Jindal has vowed to get rid of Common Core and its tests and wants the state to come up with new academic standards prepared by state officials.
Chas Roemer, president of BESE, and state Superintendent of Education John White both back Common Core and the tests that go with it.
Whether next week's special meeting of the state's top School Board will include a closed-door session is unclear, Roemer said Friday.
"There may or may not be the need for executive session," he said in a message to colleagues.
"I anticipate there may be given potential legal questions and that is why the executive session must be on the agenda."
The special meeting is set for 11:30 a.m. Tuesday.
BESE has twice endorsed the new standards, which spell out what students should know yearly about reading, writing and math.
Roemer, who lives in Baton Rouge, said the meeting will also include public comment.
The gathering is expected to be divisive.
Jindal allies on the board want to start the process of finding new tests.
However, there is no such item on the revised agenda despite complaints from Lottie Beebe, a BESE member who lives in Breaux Bridge.
The Jindal administration has suspended state approval of a contract between the state Department of Education and a testing firm that White and others planned to use to proceed with Common Core exams.
In another sign of tensions, Jindal's team has also demanded a wide range of test-related documents from White's department by Monday.

Get the legal help you need at a fixed price. No hidden fees or long-term commitment.
If you are involved in a domestic violence case, you may want to hire an experienced domestic violence (DV) lawyer. A DV attorney can help protect you if you or your family have been the victim of domestic violence. An attorney can file restraining orders and make changes to your child custody agreement in order to protect you and your family. Conversely, if you have been accused of physically or mentally threatening someone close to you (e.g., a family member, boyfriend, girlfriend, or partner), you should contact a lawyer with experience in domestic violence cases. DV lawyers can also defend you against false accusations of domestic violence, which might otherwise put you at a disadvantage in divorce or child custody negotiations.

Three-eighty-FOUR! For one lousy gallon, one milk jug's worth of gasoline.
The cost of a fill-up? Don't even get us started.
Whose fault is it?
Keystone. China. Obama. PolitiFact has heard it all. Since the beginning of this year, we've checked more than a dozen statements and ads about gas prices. In most every case, we've found politicians oversimplifying their attacks, or just plain getting the facts wrong.
Did you hear the one about the single-day gas protest in 1997 that forced prices down overnight?
Well, it never happened.
In reality, the price of gas is determined by a litany of complex and shifting factors (Brent derivatives, anyone?), few of which you'll hear mentioned in :30-second political ads.
