DEBKAfile Exclusive Report September 12, 2014
Turkey stuns Washington by dropping out of the US-led coalition, refusing to fight jihadis or let its bases be used for air strikes.
US accepts Shahab-3s in Iran's missile arsenal, but not long-range ICBMs. Deep resentment in Jerusalem
DEBKAfile Special Report May 18, 2014
Two high-ranking US officials, National Security Adviser Susan Rice and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, were challenged by Israeli leaders over the Obama administration's omission of the Shahab-3 ballistic missile from its demand to restrict ICBMs that can reach Europe and the US in Iran's arsenal. The Shahab-3's range of 2,100km covers all of the Middle East, including Israel. Yet it was left out, although it carries warheads weighing 760 kg, to 1.1 tons, which may also be nuclear. Hagel faced the same challenge from Saudi Arabia and the GCC.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis May 17, 2014
President Shimon Peres, who hails from the dovish Labor party, has not just been running his own political foreign policy track against Netanyahu's, but quietly intriguing with the prime minister's foes on a plan to remove him and his Likud from power. Although two foes have fallen, Peres is served by Netanyahu's predilection for sitting on the fence on vital issues - including calling him to order for stepping out of the bounds of his presidential authority. Netanyahu is now hunting for a dependable ally to place in the presidential residence.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report May 15, 2014
US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel arrived in Israel Wednesday May 14 for talks with Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon from an inspection of the US-Jordanian underground command center located 10 kilometers north of Amman, debkafile reports. It was the first visit by a high-ranking US official to a US military facility directly involved in the Syrian war. His talks in Jordan and Israel will determine whether the US-backed rebel forces engaged in battle for control of the Golan town of Quneitra, open a new southern front against Bashar Assad and threaten Damascus.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis May 10, 2014
US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel arrives in Jeddah next Monday, May 12, for a meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council defense ministers, the first to be attended by an American defense chief in six years. This prolonged absence reflected the Obama administration's military disengagement from Middle East affairs and their ensuing political estrangement. Hagel will find Gulf states bent on self-defense and ready to contend with Iran without recourse to the US. Jordan and Israel are also withdrawing from commitments to play ball with Washington.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report May 1, 2014
The creeping Russian takeover of E. Ukraine is advancing by proxy as separatists seize one city after another without facing resistance.
DEBKAfile Special Report March 31, 2014
US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel Sunday March 30 instructed Gen. Philip Breedlove, NATO's supreme commander in Europe, to set out at once from Washington to Brussels for consultations with alliance commanders on a possible Russian invasion of Moldova's Russian-speaking breakaway enclave of Transnistria, after Crimea. Chairs of both US House and Senate Intelligence Committees report Russian forces massed on Ukrainian borders, as well as covert forces inside the country. Some reports claim a Russian buildup in South Ossetia too for a possible thrust into Armenia.

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report October 4, 2013
Putin has devised a complex game of diplomatic ping pong for pushing through understandings with Obama first to resolve the Syrian chemical crisis and currently to settle the nuclear controversy with Iran. DEBKA Weekly reveals how it works.
The sarin shells fired on Damascus - by Syrian 4th Division's 155th Brigade - were followed by rockets on Israel and car bombings in Lebanon
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis August 24, 2013
Within 48 hours, Assad and Iran launched a three-point punitive offensive for foreign intervention in the Syrian war, debkafile reports. The facts: The sarin nerve gas shells which claimed more than 1,000 Syrian lives Wednesday, Aug. 21, were fired by the 155th Brigade of the Syrian army's 4th Division commanded by Gen. Maher Assad from Mount Kalmun. This atrocity was followed by a rocket attack on Israel from Lebanon and deadly blasts in Tripoli. The price for not stopping Assad and Tehran now is likely to become even grimmer.
DEBKAfile Special Report August 22, 2013
By two comments, Israel confirmed Wednesday and Thursday, Aug. 21 and 22, that the Assad regime had used chemical weapons on civilians in the region of Damascus – the first came from Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, who said "The use of chemical weapons by the regime is not a first," and the second from Strategic Affairs Minister Yuval Steinitz, who reported corroborative intelligence. Yet no one anywhere admits that Syria, any more than Iran, has crossed US and Israeli red lines and that this necessitates direct action.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report August 2, 2013
Egypt's Defense Minister Gen. Abdel Fattah El-Sisi will run for president – possibly before the end of the year, debkafile reports exclusively. He plans to launch a short election campaign on August 15. Untroubled by US and European criticism, the general is restoring the Egyptian army to political center. And like former presidents Nasser, Sadat and Mubarak, he will repress the Muslim Brotherhood. Washington's answer is the appointment as ambassador to Cairo of former envoy to Damascus Robert Ford, who excelled in building ties with the Syrian opposition.
DEBKAfile Special Report May 10, 2013
The Obama administration's slowcoach policy on Syria has given Iran and Hizballah unfettered access to intervene in the Syrian civil war, magnifying its lethality and prospects of its spilling over into Israel, Turkey and Jordan, says debkafile. It will further deteriorate when Washington's expectations of an international conference are not recprocated by Moscow.
White House to Congress: Assad has used chemical weapons. Israeli jets down Hizballah drone opposite Haifa
DEBKAfile Special Report April 25, 2013
In a striking reversal, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said in Abdu Dhabi Thursday, April 25, that US intelligence now believes the Syrian government has used chemical weapons against its own people.
DEBKAfile Special Report April 23, 2013
Red lines have been flattened by Iran's rapid progress toward a nuclear weapon and by Bashar Assad's mockery, backed by Tehran, of US President Barack Obama's warning that "proof of chemical weapons use would be a game changer." Two Israeli ex-intelligence chiefs Tuesday, April 23 underlined Israel-US differences.
DEBKAfile Special Report April 23, 2013
Israel's chief of staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz warned Monday, April 22, that tribal and ethnic warfare on the scale of Afghanistan awaited Syria. debkafile: Two heavily armed Hizballah combat brigades are fighting for Bashar Assad south of Homs.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report April 21, 2013
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel's Middle East trip was supposed to present the $10 billion US arms sales to Israel, Saudi Arabia and the UAE as a signal for deterring a nuclear Iran. The Boston bombings shifted the onus of his trip to Syria and al Qaeda. Russian cooperation was a vital source of intelligence for nabbing the two bombers, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, Friday, April 19. Russian President Vladimir Putin will almost certainly claim his quid pro quo in Syrian currency.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report April 18, 2013
Although Obama has approved the deployment of 200 US troops to Jordan, no one knows whether he will order enough military strength to save King Abdullah if his kingdom comes under Syrian attack.
DEBKAfile Special Report April 17, 2013
US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced Wednesday, April 17, that 200 troops of the US 1st Armored Division had been sent to Jordan to give the United States the ability to "potentially form a joint task force [with Jordan] for military operations, if ordered" by the President. debkafile's military sources report that they are ranged on the Jordanian-Syrian border to counter a potential Syrian attack. In a potential war between Syria and Jordan backed by US troops, Israel would almost certainly become involved.

Stand to attention for this season's military look. Lisa Haynes reveals how to join the fashion army.
By Lisa Haynes
Who said fashion trends always have to be impractical? The military look has marched back onto the scene and, with its warm overcoats, handy pockets and stomping boots, it's perfect for women who want to mix style with comfort.
Banish visions of the Queen's Guards in their bright red attire - this season is all about a muted camouflage colour palette, accented with black leather or shiny gold hardware if you can't resist the bling.
From utility chic to ladylike cool, there are various ways to work this on-trend uniform. Find your fashion rank with our guide to looking majorly stylish.
Chic soldier
Fight the fuss with a pared-down take on modern military.
Seeking the perfect overcoat should be your first high street battleground. As it's your top layer, every outfit will instantly ooze an air of army elegance.
Look for an olive green flowing wool maxi-coat, oversized boyfriend number or fitted jacket with epaulettes, taking into account your height and size.
Utility details like gold buttons, oversized pockets and belted waists will ensure you stand out from the military masses.
To keep things sleek, try teaming your army greens with black leather and crisp white shirts. The combination of dark green and monochrome colours creates instant chic.
Top off your look with shiny knee high boots, long leather gloves and this season's military accessory of choice (if you dare), a black cap.
Camo couture
Report for duty in a look that says uber-cool cadet.
The perfect uniform for casual days, this look is all about flat shoes, a relaxed silhouette and plenty of attitude.
Sick of staying hidden, camouflage prints have made a striking comeback but should be worn as one statement piece rather than top-to-toe. Think subtle salute, not full-on forces.
You can't go wrong with a camo jacket for an autumn/winter wardrobe update. Raid the surplus stores and jazz it up with fresh buttons and some embellishment for your own bespoke brand of army style.
Experiment with contrasting fabrics like denim, lace or even faux fur to give your utility look fresh appeal.
Put your best foot forward in soldier-inspired lace-up ankle boots for added edge.
Evening duty
Traditionally a daytime trend, the likes of Victoria Beckham have given military a glamour injection - as paraded in her autumn/winter collection.
Forget marching, models simply sauntered down the catwalk in sky-high boots and fitted khaki dresses.
Find her soldier homage on the high street in the form of bodycon dresses with figure-flattering panels, belted-in waists and shiny gold button detailing.
Gold is the key accent to transfer your military look to after-dark. Either opt for green pieces sporting gold prints or sequin panels, or dress up your khaki separates with metallic brocade to give your trend-trooper look a luxe spin.
Give the clumpy combat boots a miss and always accessorise with towering heels.

Sometimes handmade or even machined knives pay little attention to these areas to allow a buyer to instill their own preferences into the knife; like leaving the edge a little rough to allow the owner to sharpen it to prefered level. When using a pinch grip, some handlers find that a factory spine and choil and/or rough neck area affect the knives usability. It can be corrected to something gentler with sandpaper or a belt. I have never had to go through the ordeal, so my knowledge is really just in theory, rather than practice. I imagine that it is possible to go too far and expose the core on a san mai knife.

(WBIR-Knoxville) A pair of former UT football players have joined another former college player in suing the NCAA for failing to educate them about the risks of concussions, and not doing enough to prevent, diagnose, and treat them.
Chris Walker and Ben Martin were defensive ends at UT from 2007-2011. Dan Ahern played for North Carolina State from 1972-76. Their attorney filed a class-action lawsuit in federal court in Chattanooga on Wednesday.
The suit asks for "the establishment of a court-supervised fund to provide medical monitoring due to their increased risk of latent brain injuries caused by repeated traumatic head impacts suffered by them in the period during which they played NCAA football."
"We're saying that they knew about the long-term problems, just like the NFL has known about it for years and years and years, and nobody wants to step up to the plate and pay for these long term problems," said Knoxville based attorney, Gordon Ball.
Ball is one of 10 attorneys listed on the suit. The lead attorney is Micheal Hausfeld of Washington D.C. Both are involved in the Ed O'Bannon case in California that is seeking damages from the NCAA for using players images for profit.
In the complaint, Walker and Martin say they had repetitive head trauma in scrimmages, practices, and games during their careers, and that they now suffer from severe headaches.
Ahern, who played for North Carolina State from 1972-1976, says in the lawsuit that he was flown from Pennsylvania to Raleigh for hospitalization after suffering a concussion in a game against Penn State during his senior year. He also claims to have an inability to concentrate, poor memory, a ringing in his ears, and sleeping problems. He has also suffered physical ailments and pain associated with these ailments leading to retirement at age 50 and disability as of 2007.
"The NCAA makes millions of dollars every year on college athletics and to not treat these people and monitor them is almost criminal in my opinion," Ball said.
According to the Associated Press, the lawsuit is similar to one filed in federal court against the NCAA in 2011 in Illinois. Attorneys in that case recently asked a judge to make it a class-action suit.
NCAA chief legal officer Donald Remy told the AP that the NCAA has not yet had the opportunity to review and evaluate the lawsuit.
Last week, the NFL agreed to pay more than three-quarters of a billion dollars to settle lawsuits from thousands of former players who developed dementia or other concussion-related health problems they say were caused by the game.
"This case is exactly like the case that was settled last week against the National Football League," said Ball.
He said the only difference is that players are employees of the NFL and college football players are not. That means college players do not receive worker's compensation and monitoring.

actually, my bad. at0 is made by airbase.
Script works, I added
airmon-ng stop mon0
airmon-ng stop $fakeap_interface
after iptables --table nat --delete-chain
this script needs work. at0 interface is hardcoded everywhere
actually, my bad. at0 is made by airbase.
Script works, I added
airmon-ng stop mon0
airmon-ng stop $fakeap_interface
after iptables --table nat --delete-chain
I'm trying this script on ubuntu, i think there are no differences, dhcp started manually says it can't read the config file, i've tried to make it 777 but same error, permission denied..any clue?
Linux flavor should not matter, providing the other modules can be called. The script forcefully creates a working directory to use then writes its own dhcpd conf file, it should (and does for me) work fine with the permission denied error.
Anyhow thanks for the contribution hopefully it helps more users, however I dont think the script should be changed, because changing the fakeap_interface variable to a constant, that being mon0, will cause other problems, ie when mon0 is not what is created.
UPDATE AIRSSL 2.0 now uses the rtl8187 driver and thus uses mon0, it would be a smart idea to make sure mon0 is being used solely for this script and doesn't have much else going on.

I cannot understand, after having a quick look, why the fake AP essid would be hidden, makes no sense.
Has for PID files, there useless imho and, at least in this circumstance, definitely not needed.
etter.conf should be default, I have added this to my original post thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to say thanks.
PS you etter.conf is original correct? maybe you altered your etter.conf to tell it to ipforward?

Sometimes I try to fit a 16-character string into an 8byte space, on purpose.
I have been able to set it up and get it to work at home. However when I'm trying to show a demonstration to my students in the lab, I am not able to access to the internet from the client laptop.
I tried removing the line:
I am still unable to access the internet. And when I sniff the network with wireshark I get an ICMP packet right after the DNS query that looks like this:Code:iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --destination-port 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 10000
I've searched around and found different iptables forwarding options which seem to bypass this issue:Code:Source Destination Protocol Info 10.0.0.28 10.0.0.1 DNS Standard query A google.com 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.28 ICMP Destination Unreachable (Port unreachable)
from: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...lan0-eth0.htmlCode:sudo sh -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" iptables -X iptables -F iptables -A FORWARD -i wlan0 -o eth0 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE
This allowed me to connect to the fake access point and get transparent access to the internet. However, sslstrip did not work obviously since it monitors port 10000.
I have tried sslstrip to monitor port 443 but that did not work either. I'm sure there is something I am missing. I'm not very well versed in iptables where I think the problem could be (and where it could be fixed).
Is there a way to get sslstrip to work with this iptables set up? Or do you recommend I bridge at0 and wlan1 (internet access device) as an alternate solution (if that would even work)?

Everythings works exepted for the DHCP, i added the two lines in the script, and still can't get an ip.
If i look at the pakets traffic in the wireless settings, i can see that it's recieving anything ...
Even if the dhcp serv seems to send him an ip.
My router is a Netgear also set to be a dhcp. may it cause troubles ?
Can someone help me ?

Two thieves swiped a woman's iPad from an Atlantic Avenue subway station on Oct. 14, but a bystander collared one of the perps until the other returned the tablet.
The 39-year-old victim told cops she was near Flatbush Avenue and Hanson Place at 3:05 pm when the goons ran off with her hot-ticket device.
That's when a Good Samaritan intervened, holding one of the thugs until cops arrived.

Original Harlan Ellison 'Star Trek' Episode Script Gets A Comic Book Miniseries At IDW
With its dramatic tale of time travel trauma, "City on the Edge of Forever" is widely considered one of the best episodes of the original Star Trek TV series, but what made it to the screen was quite different from sci-fi writer Harlan Ellison's original script, which was too long for a one-hour TV show and had far too many speaking parts for the production budget.
Comics don't have those restrictions, though, so IDW Publishing is taking Ellison's full, original teleplay and adapting it into a comics mini-series, starting in June. It'll be written by Scott Tipton and David Tipton, and with interior art by J.K. Woodward. Juan Ortiz will be the artist on the main covers, which give the series a sort of pulp-novel look, while movie poster artist Paul Shipper will be on variant covers. Ellison will serve as a sort of consultant.

FIVE young people were injured, two seriously, in a horror crash near Bovington when a car flipped over on its side.
Those hurt included the 19-year-old female driver who broke her arm and had to be cut out of the car to avoid the risk of further injury.
A fleet of ambulances, firefighting crews and police were alerted to a remote spot in the early hours of today.
Police said the blue Toyota Yaris, registered to a woman from Poole, ended up on its side in a hedge after leaving Puddletown Road at Hyde near Gallows Hill. The crash was reported just after 1.15am.
Rescuers were at the scene for about three hours treating the injured, examining the scene and removing the vehicle.
Two of those injured were taken to hospital.
A Dorset Police spokesman said there were five people in the car. Apart from the driver there were three men aged 19, 20 and 24, and a girl aged 16.
She added: "This was a serious injury road traffic collision but none of the injuries were life threatening.
"It was reported at 1.17am by a member of the public as a car on its side in a hedge.
"The driver received serious arm injuries and the fire service took the roof off the car to release her."
It is understood one of the male passengers was also seriously hurt and the other three had slight injuries.
South Western Ambulance said there were three casualties it described as 'walking wounded' and two others who were taken to hospitals in Dorchester and Poole.
A spokesman said two ambulances and three rapid response paramedic vehicles attended.
Dorset Fire and Rescue Service said crews from Wareham and Bere Regis were called to the scene.
A brigade spokesman said: "Hydraulic cutting gear was used to create space to assist the ambulance service with the release of a trapped female.
"Crews also assisted paramedics with the other casualties."
Witnesses and anyone with information about the collision can contact Dorset Police on 101.
Councillor seeking action from highways team
DISTRICT and county councillor for the area Peter Wharf is aware of incidents on the road and believes that generally there is a problem with vehicles going too fast for the conditions.
Speaking generally about the issue, he said: "The problem is with Puddletown Road is that it is relatively straight and wide but it has a number of humps and dips which can affect vision."
He added: "It's difficult to know what to do. With an unlimited budget we'd level the whole thing out.
"I will be going to the highways department to see if there is any traffic management can be put there to slow traffic down."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/7/2009 (2954 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Winnipeg Free Press recently published an opinion article titled, Cool way to save the planet -- paint the town white (July 16.) This article repeated claims made by proponents of white roofing that painting all roofs white would reduce greenhouse emissions.
This article and others like it fail to note other key facts in this debate that refute or diminish these claims, especially in cold weather regions such as Manitoba.
I represent the association of EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber) roofers in the United States. The EPDM Roofing Association is the trade association for the manufacturers of the EPDM roofing membrane and their suppliers. EPDM is usually sold as a dark membrane. I should point out that the manufacturers of EPDM also manufacture white roofing products, so their main goal is for customers to use the most appropriate product for their needs.
The initial study upon which the claims about white roofing have been made was conducted by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, which found that the benefits of white roofing would be felt in warm weather climes. As the report stated, its proposals for energy savings were based on colouring "63 per cent of the roofs white in 100 large cities in tropical and temperate areas worldwide."
I don't think I need to point out to you that Manitoba would not qualify as a tropical or temperate area.
Currently, the Cool Roof Rating Council acknowledges a "winter penalty" when cool roofs are installed in northern climates, which means these regions will not affect the energy savings as warmer regions do. But even that penalty is limited to winter months, and does not consider the impact of autumn and spring conditions in those climates.
For example, Winnipeg averaged 5,777 heating degree days per year, compared to 186 cooling degree days, from 1971 to 2000, according to data from Environment Canada, which can be found at http://www.ccme.ca/assets/pdf/cind_people_htng_clng_e.pdf.
That means the demand for heating buildings is 30 times greater in Manitoba than the demand for cooling them. That also means that any benefit found from decreased use of air conditioners in the summer would be next to meaningless compared to the ongoing demand to heat buildings in the rest of the year.
This doesn't even consider the fact that the only way to get the benefits of white roofs is if they stay white. It also doesn't consider that additional research by the Berkeley Laboratory found that roofs play a much more significant role in the heating of a building as compared to cooling it.
Because of data like this, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) has divided North America into regions within its ASHRAE 90.1 Energy Code, to provide the most relevant guidance for specific sections. This approach is much more effective than the broad brush thinking that "everything should be painted white."
In order to achieve the goals of reducing the energy demand on our planet, we will need to enable government and regulatory bodies to make better decisions and help achieve the goal we all support, the reduction of greenhouse gases.
The Free Press and other papers like it can play their part by providing a more detailed, balanced and factual study of this topic than what was contained in this article.

IT'S all aboard for the Best of Dorset.
Supporters of a leisure and tourism showcase climbed aboard the Tall Ship Pelican this morning in Weymouth Harbour to launch the event.
Organised by Weymouth and Portland Borough Council's events team, the Dorset Echo-backed Best of Dorset leisure show will feature information and ideas of what to do in the county this year.
It is being held at Weymouth Pavilion on Sunday, March 30 from 11am-4pm.
Council tourism and culture spokesman Ian Bruce said: "The Best of Dorset show offers local businesses and attractions a unique opportunity to promote their services, meet their customers and generate a real boost to their business in 2014."
This year's 14th annual free event will feature live entertainment on the Weymouth Pavilion stage throughout the day, fun events for children, Nothe Fort Re-enactment group activities and tall ship visits on TS Pelican berthed in the harbour.
There will also be opportunities to get the very latest ideas and information on how to make 2014 in Dorset full of memories and adventures.
Cllr Bruce added: "We are delighted to have Asda in the line-up this year showing the |latest trends in its George department fashion show.
"We would also like to thank Epic Printing for their quality print support and the tremendous support of the new management team at Weymouth Pavilion."
This year's theme is 'volunteers' and Steve Davies, events officer for Weymouth and Portland Borough Council, said it will 'recognise the impact and importance of volunteers and use the show to promote the many great opportunities to volunteer in the county'.
Organisers said visitors will also be able to make the most of an Echo-backed visitor map of the area, which will be given out on the day.
There is no more room for exhibitions and trade stands but for further information about the event call Charlie Sheppard on 01305 838512 or go to visitweymouth.co.uk

Omm Hotel
Juli Capella
Barcelona, Spain
The Hotel Omm is an example of all the characteristics that have made Barcelona a city renowned worldwide for its style, and as a center for architecture and design, open to innovation while respecting tradition.
The facade inclines towards the natural axis of activity - Passeig de Gràcia - down which the traffic moves into the heart of the old city. Constructed of a sheet of Cabra marble, a high quality limestone, it is presented as a work of art.
A series of arbitrarily placed waves and openings have been worked into this sheet, giving an impression of dynamic movement and variety. The blocks of stone stand out from the wall in relief, like waves, petals or curtains, forming angled balconies that lets the midday sunlight enter the bedrooms. The stone curtain also affords privacy and cuts down traffic noise in the rooms.
The facade rests on a black base with huge windows that lets natural light into the ground floor. Inside the reception area is painted bright red.
There are no columns inside the large brightly-lit main space that is separated into different areas by perpendicular partitions.
The two bars, constructed of black leather and iro metal, a light and self-welding material, fit together to form a rectangle.
Between the bar and the Moo restaurant is a large iron table, modelled on the old Mordisco table, where you can enjoy the Moo Vida menu.
Nine pyramid shaped skylights lets daylight into the restaurant. As the sun gets lower an electronic system makes up for the loss of natural light.
The Moo Restaurant has won several awards for both food and wine and received a star in the 2006 Michelin Guide.
The restaurant is separated from the bar by a staircase leading down to the basement and the nightclub Ommsession.
The Spaciomm (Spa) has an oriental atmosphere with natural materials such as wood, stone, iron, coconut matting, linen and silk.
The garden is decorated with masts hung with prayer wheels similar to those found at the entrance to Buddhist monasteries, and a large painting by artist Carla Tarruella.
The hotel recently completed its second extension adding 32 new suites to the original 59 rooms distributed on 6 floors. The conversion of the private homes meant that each of the new suites is a different space. The size/space relationship between bedroom and bathroom is different but never cut off from the rest of the suite. The furniture also varies from room to room.
In the 59 original rooms you go straight through the door into a wide open naturally lit space. The bedroom and bathroom are separated by a wardrobe which doesn't quite reach the ceiling, thus creating continuity between the two areas.
On the roof is a terrace with a bar and pool overlooking the city. From the terrace there is a view of Antoni Gaudi's La Pedrera ( Casa Milà) with its chimneys and skylights.

Deputies arrest Gainesville man on murder charge
Published: Sunday, December 23, 2012 at 8:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 24, 2012 at 7:46 p.m.
Alachua County deputies have arrested a Gainesville man in the murder of Alachua County resident William Henry Redd outside the man's home at 2010 NE 192nd Ave.
Redd, 44, was shot in the chest on the evening of Dec. 3 while on the lawn of his home in a neighborhood north of Gainesville. Witnesses say they saw a black, four-door sedan speeding away from the area after the shooting.
Redd was shot outside of his double-wide home while members of his family were inside his house. According to sheriff's Lt. Todd Kelly, Redd banged on the door of his home yelling, "I've been shot."
He was transported to Shands at the University of Florida following the incident, where he died. Redd left behind a wife and four children.
Thirty-eight year old Darren L. Bing was arrested Sunday around 4:15 p.m. in the murder case. Bing is being held in the Alachua County Jail without bond for charges of homicide and possession of a weapon or ammunition by a convicted felon.
According to records from the Florida Department of Corrections, Bing has been sentenced to prison eight times in Marion and Pinellas counties since 1992.
He served time for carrying a concealed firearm in 1992, robbery with a non-deadly weapon in 1993, two charges of felony delivery with a concealed weapon in 1995, robbery with a deadly weapon in 1995, trafficking stolen property in 1995 and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon in 2005.
Alachua sheriff's spokesman Art Forgey said on Sunday that cellphone records were one clue that helped detectives link Bing to the crime. No other details concerning a possible motive were released.
Forgey said a warrant for Bing's arrest was issued on Dec. 14. Forgey said he was not sure why the warrant was not served until Sunday afternoon.

Positano Egg Cups, Set of 4
Boiled eggs and fresh hard rolls with lots of butter are served all over Europe for breakfast especially in Pensions and Gasthaus's. These delightful dishes remind me of some of the egg holders my eggs have been served in many of those places. I like these because there's a place for the top of the egg to rest after it's been sliced off.

Having the same problem as well. I also fooled around a bit with the pulse audio but to no avail.
Wow, I truly hope I'm being retarded but I have been receiving the error "Can not initialize the PortAudio Library. Error: Host error" whenever I try to use the RTP player in Wireshark. In clicking past the first error, decode the VoIP streams and try to play the audio I get "Got this info from PortAudio Library: Default deviceName: (No device info)(0)." Has anyone else experienced this issue?
My system is a HP EliteBook 8740w (HDA Intel sound) with 8GB RAM. Error is repeatable across both BackTrack5r3 KDE 64-bit & Gnome 64-bit.
I have launched the PulseAudio daemon (using /usr/bin/pulseaudio) and have verified I can play .wav and .mp3 files. I have tried killing PulseAudio to see if it was conflicting with PortAudio. I have even installed Audacity to reconfigure hardware settings but nada. Yes, I checked the MD5sums on my downloads too and they are a match. Google has failed me...unless I'm using the wrong search strings. I know the error lies within Wireshark but I just cannot nail it down. Any help, hints, advice or insults would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Having the same problem as well. I also fooled around a bit with the pulse audio but to no avail.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/9/2013 (1439 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I was so mad at my boyfriend, who passed out for the third time in a week, I locked him in the bedroom on my birthday. I'm a handy guy, so I got out my toolbox and put a hook on the outside of the door, left him in there and went back to the bar. When he came to, he got on his cell and phoned a friend who came over and they took the door off the hinges. When I got home he'd left a note telling me I was the worst sexual partner of his life, he hated men and he never wanted to see me again. OK, I'll cop to forcible confinement, but he had no business saying I'm lousy in bed. I am the best. He knows that. He won't take my phone calls and says I'm lucky I'm not in jail right now. What should I do to get him back? I still love him. -- In Love with a Drunk, Fort Rouge
Dear Fort Rouge: It's curious you're no stranger to the legal term "forcible confinement." Was this your first time? Look, people can wake up vomiting and choke to death. They can even pass out and not wake up all if they have poured way too much alcohol into their bodies. You not only left your boyfriend in a vulnerable state, but prevented him from getting out for help, or to a bathroom. You're lucky he didn't call the police on you or they would have laid charges. Don't even think about trying to get back with this man. Get some serious counselling over what you did, and although we're late in the game for respect, at least apologize any way you can and respect his desire not to see your face again.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My boyfriend of 14 months and I are in our 60s. We got engaged in March. He gets mad about every little thing. He screams and yells and swears at me when something doesn't go his way, then I get moody and don't talk to him. He hurts my feelings so badly I'm in tears. And every time he has a fit of anger, he wants his ring back. Last week I saw him walking with another women holding hands, so I guess that's the end of our relationship. Now he wants his ring back. I put a lot of work into his cottage painting and cutting thousand of sandbags open with my bare hands. Do I have give the ring back? In my opinion, I don't because he was cheating on me, so too bad for him. I should get something for all the hard work I put into the cottage. What do you think? -- Want That Ring, Winnipeg
Dear Deserve: Bad news -- you don't get to keep the engagement ring when you break off an engagement. Even if he was cheating and even if you worked your butt off at his cottage, the ring is not a form of payment. On top of that, the ring has "bad vibrations" on it and you're just mad. Give it back, and aim for a higher level. This was an unhealthy relationship and hard on you. Good news! People are not stuck with the self-esteem families and romance partners leave them with. Take a break from the love game and go after challenges you enjoy, mastering them and feeling stronger all the time. When you raise your self-esteem, you'll naturally raise your standards in men. Your last choice of lover was a liar, yeller and cheater. Dump him and his diamond ring for good and save up for a sparkly version of your own design.
Please send your questions c/o email@example.com or mail letters to Miss Lonelyhearts c/o Winnipeg Free Press, 1355 Mountain Ave., Winnipeg, MB, R2X 3B6

Last week, I was contacted out of the blue by a fellow Egghead. Seems she sold her Mini egg and had a wok for it sitting around that she couldn't use. She asked if I wanted it. I always feel quilty when people offer stuff to me for free, but what could I say? (I will be sending her some goodies in the mail, but she don't know it yet. ) The wok came from The Wok Shop in San Francisco from what I gather
Not real well seasoned
Gave it a light scrub down, rubbed it lightly with peanut oil and then threw it on the large Egg at 425-450 for about 20 minutes. Then let it cool off and fried up some green onions on the stove to get rid of any metallic taste that might be lingering.
At this point, I had a choice to make...should I just stir fry on the large since it was already hot, or use the mini? Tough choice, huh? Until I realized the large was almost out of lump. Mini it is!
Some veggies
Mise en place
Hard to believe that the wok wasn't made just for the Mini Egg, isn't it?
Shrimp in
Veggies in
Noodles and shrimp back in
Plated up along with some eggrolls
For a first time, I think it went pretty well. I think I had my temps a bit low (can't remember now if I had it at 450 or 500, bourbon clouds the memory). I didn't dry the shrimp real well after I washed them so some water went in and cooled it down, that was just a dumb mistake on my part. I was also rushing it and didn't let it heat up enough between the shrimp and veggies, but once again, that was my fault. But all in all, it came out pretty good and it was fun to use the mini egg and the new wok. One nice thing was not having to wear welding gloves to get it done. That handle works out pretty nicely. Can't wait to play around with it some more.

Shots Ring Out in Canada: Abortion Provider Target of Attempted Murder
Statement of Feminist Majority Foundation President Eleanor Smeal on U.S. Implications of Canadian Anti-Abortion Terrorism
Washington DC -- Dr. Jack Fainman, a Canadian OB/GYN in Winnipeg, Manitoba, was shot through a window in his home just after 9:00pm on November 11, 1997. Officials report that the shot, fired by a sniper hiding outside of Dr. Fainman's home, tore through the doctor's right shoulder. Missing his heart by only inches, the blast reportedly left Dr. Fainman wounded but in stable condition.
These repeated, now predictable, attacks in Canada against abortion providers should serve as a warning to the United States. As we move into our own historically explosive period -- the holiday season -- abortion providers, their staff, and clients; law enforcement officials; and the pro-choice community should be on alert and increase security. Currently, Canadian and American pro-choice groups are calling for greater cooperation between Canadian and United States authorities in combating anti-abortion terrorism and investigating this, the latest attack in a campaign of terror.
"These terrible shootings seem designed to 'take out' specific abortion providers and scare off other doctors who might otherwise provide this legitimate medical procedure for women," said Jo Dufay, the Executive Director of the Canadian Abortion Rights Action League (CARAL). It is a miracle no one has been killed by these vicious attacks," Dufay continued. "Some extremists will go to any lengths to oppose a woman's right to choose," concluded Dufay.
Pro-choice sources in Canada believe the shootings could be caused or inspired by United States anti-abortion terrorists. Canadian laws severely restrict the purchase and/or possession of firearms, including the high-powered rifles used in each of the attempted murders. Our research confirms the anti-choice extremists' broad range of travel. Each of the cities, Vancouver, Hamilton, and Winnipeg are easily reachable from cities near the U.S. border.
This sniper style attack marks the third of its kind in Canada in four years, each surrounding Canada's Remembrance Day. On November 8, 1994, Dr. Garson Romalis was shot in his home in Vancouver with a high-powered rifle by a sniper hiding outside, and on November 10, 1995, Dr. Hugh Short suffered a similar attack. To date, neither of these cases has been solved.
Last year's holiday season, marred by a late December stabbing of an abortion provider in New Orleans, Louisiana, and a New Year's Day bombing of a Tulsa, Oklahoma clinic, launched what has become a year of intense violence, reaching one of the highest levels since 1973.

At Mercury Racing, high-tech R&D and hand-assembly create pole-position products for racers and enthusiasts alike.
By Capt. Ken Kreisler — June 2002
"There, see that extra motion in the spring when it decompresses?" says George Craig, Mercury Racing's four-cycle engineering manager, as Rick Mackie, the company's marketing services manager, and I stare at the side-by-side images of the ultra-slow-motion, 2,000-frame-per-second video of a pair of valve springs in action. Our faces are bathed in the glow of a computer screen in a mostly darkened area near the dyno rooms, which are humming with the sound of thousand-horsepower engines being held at almost 6000 rpm.
I'm in the 118,580-square-foot, squeaky-clean plant that makes up Mercury Marine's Racing division. Located in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, it is an amalgam of innovative engineering programs and skunk works that is responsible for the company's line of high-performance products and whose engineers, technicians, and workforce are as laid-back and relaxed as a college library staff during a midsemester break.
The difference between the two springs is startling. The one on the right does a hula as it begins to stretch up around the valve stem, while the left one is far more sedate. "This is the one we're looking at for application," Craig says, pointing to the latter. "It's not there yet but we'll keep testing until we get it just right."
As I continue to watch, I become fascinated with the globs of circulating lube oil slowed down by the high-speed film so as to resemble the floating wax in those 60s-era lava lamps. They seem to be performing a ballet in counterpoint to the spring's hula. Craig seems equally entranced. "I just love this stuff," he says as he smiles and watches two pairs of globules execute a Pas de Quatre. "And just think, what we're seeing here actually happens in a fraction of a second."
From 1973 to 1992 Mercury Racing was located a few miles away in Oshkosh and was the engineering segment of Mercury Marine. The company, known then as Kiekhaefer Aeromarine, was the brainchild of Mercury founder Carl Kiekhaefer. Established in 1970--Kiekhaefer actually started the company in 1946 as an affiliate to Mercury that remained separate when Brunswick bought Mercury Marine--Kiekhaefer Aeromarine focused on the promotion of Mercury's image through racing. It engineered and built high-performance marine engines, as well as stern drives and accessories like trim tabs and indicators, shift and throttle controls, and props. In 1990 the Brunswick Corporation bought the company and named Carl's son Fred--the elder Kiekhaefer passed away on October 5, 1983--as its president. Under Fred's watch Mercury Racing grew and in 1994 centralized its manufacturing and administrative operations into an expanded Plant 36, the former Kiekhaefer Aeromarine building I was now touring.

Is social media the death of news reporting or its saviour?
If you ask screenwriters David Simon (The Wire) and Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing and Facebook movie The Social Network), Twitter and other social networks are sacrificing depth for speed – but Piers Morgan, the newspaper editor turned talk-show host, reckons a single tweet added half a million viewers to an onscreen interview with Charlie Sheen.

Event Details
Class Outline
In this two-hour class, you will learn how to design a social media strategy that meets your company's unique needs, goals and resources. This class is designed for professionals at both B2C and B2B companies with a basic understanding of how to use a social network.
First, we'll start with an overview of the top social networks and how a business might consider using each of them. Those networks include:
- Google+
- YouTube
Then we will look at two case studies of Chicago-based businesses that excel in using social media. The first business will be B2C and the second business will be B2B. Together, we'll analyze how each business set up its profiles, shares content, engages with their followers and responds to questions/complaints using social media.
From there, you will learn how to design a social media strategy customized to your business. The strategy's steps will include:
- Auditing your existing social media approach and available resources
- Discovering how your target customer is currently using social media
- Deciding which networks to focus on and what kinds of content to share on them
- Planning how you will handle customer service and public relations using social media
- Creating company guidelines for how your employees can use social media at work
- Determining how you can ultimately convert a follower into a paying customer

About Our Instructor

Testimonials from Previous Attendees
"Crain's Social Media & Your Personal Online Reputation class was an excellent synopsis of the fundamentals that have to be grasped in order to operate effectively in this realm. For some time I have been contemplating deeper involvement in social media but was unsure about the correct approach to take. This clear and concise presentation provided me with the understanding and confidence to immediately take action toward improving my company's online presence. The handout materials provided by Tracy Samantha Schmidt also served as an excellent reference and resource outside the classroom."
-Craig Zoberis, President & CEO, Fusion OEM
"Crain's Managing Your Online Reputation is a great seminar for those who are breaching social media, moderately using social media, or constantly on social media. Tracy and Sean display their subject matter expertise on social media and search engine optimization, respectively, with easy to follow presentations and a relaxed tone that made novices and pros comfortable to ask all types of questions. No one can walk away without saying they didn't learn something new or without jotting down things-to-do to better their online presence. The best part is it is informative for digital department heads as it is for professionals looking to build their personal brand. I'd recommend this seminar to any professional or business, no matter what their Klout Score."
-Jillian Potter, Communications Director, The Chicago Network
"The information provided in the seminar led by Tracy Samantha Schmidt for Crain's Social Media Group was informative and insightful. The presenters were articulate and provided information that was relevant to attendees across a variety of industries whose level of understanding around social media ranged from beginner to expert. I am now in the process of transferring some of that knowledge to our company's business process, as well as my personal and professional profiles online – definitely a worthy investment of time and money to attend the Social Media & Your Personal Online Reputation seminar."
-Jaime M. Janisse, Operations Manager, Daubenspeck and Associates, Ltd.

Topic Overview
Treatment is available for all sexually transmitted infections (STIs), no matter what the cause, to relieve symptoms, even if a cure is not possible. Some, but not all, STIs are treated with antibiotics.
- Some of the most common STIs—chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis—are caused by bacteria and are treated and cured with antibiotics.
- STIs caused by viruses, such as genital herpes and genital warts, are not cured with antibiotics, but treatments are available to relieve symptoms.
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS, is a sexually transmitted virus that is treated with many medicines but is not cured.
If you think that you have been exposed to an STI, it is important to be evaluated promptly by a health professional. This will help prevent serious health problems for yourself and reduce the risk of transmitting the infection to others.
- Do not have sexual contact while waiting for your appointment.
- Do not douche unless instructed to do so by your health professional. Douching may flush an infection up into the uterus or fallopian tubes and cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
Many STI symptoms will go away or change quickly. This does not mean that the STI has gone away. It will be harder for your health professional to diagnose your STI after the symptoms have changed. A delay in being evaluated may lead to a more serious illness.

Testimony begins in MySpace murder trial
Updated 8:57 pm, Tuesday, May 7, 2013
Shortly after Gilberto "Lil' Mexico" Villarreal fatally shot "the birthday boy" and wounded two others at a May 2009 keg party he'd crashed, police were able to track him down through his MySpace profile, prosecutors said Tuesday as his murder trial began.
A photo had been posted on the social networking site in which Villarreal, now 23, appeared to be posing with the murder weapon, authorities said at the time.
Steven Moy Jr., who was the recipient of a surprise 27th birthday party at the West Side home, had gotten into a fight with Villarreal that night, causing the stranger to be kicked out, Assistant District Attorney Rita Spiegel told jurors in 227th state District Court during opening statements.
As he was in the process of leaving, Spiegel said, "the defendant takes out his .40-caliber handgun with the laser sight and he starts pointing it at people."
Partygoer Juan Mendoza was the first person shot as he tried — unsuccessfully — to wrestle the gun away from Villarreal, Spiegel said. He required surgery but survived.
News Channel
Villarreal and friend Ventura "Irek" Garcia then walked to their car before Villarreal turned around and fired more shots at the front of the house, hitting Moy in the leg, she said. Moy bled to death.
"I see Moy covered in blood and face down," testified homeowner Yvette Espinoza, who in the immediate aftermath of the shooting didn't yet realize she had three graze wounds herself.
Defense attorney John Herrick declined to give an opening statement. But during the questioning of witnesses, he suggested his client acted in self-defense after Moy grabbed a large rock in the driveway as he was leaving.
"He was waiting for Gilberto to come out so he could ambush him," Herrick suggested during questioning of homeowner Pete Espinoza.
"I don't know what Moy's intentions were," Pete Espinoza said. "I don't know what was going on in his mind."
Both Pete and Yvette Espinoza, who are married, acknowledged at the prompting of defense attorneys that they were drunk that night and that their memories have faded over the past four years.
But no one was near the defendant when he fired, Pete Espinoza repeated several times at the prompting of prosecutors Spiegel and Lauren Glasscock. Villarreal could have instead gotten in his car and driven away, the witness said.
"This is not a case of self-defense," Spiegel said.
