Ex-National Lampoon CEO Tim Durham Gets 50 Years Prison
Timothy S. Durham, the onetime chief executive officer of National Lampoon (NLMP) Inc., was sentenced to 50 years in prison for defrauding investors in an unrelated company he partly controlled.
"I found no sincere remorse," U.S. District Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson in Indianapolis said today before imposing punishment on Durham, 50. She said the former Fair Finance Co. CEO exhibited deceit, greed and arrogance.
Prosecutors sought a sentence of 225 years under nonbinding federal guidelines, which the judge rejected as unrealistic.
Durham, who was also the CEO of Indianapolis-based buyout firm Obsidian Enterprises Inc., and an accomplice, James Cochran, 57, were convicted in June of taking money raised from Fair Finance investors, spending it on themselves and lending it to other entities they controlled. A third man, Rick Snow, 49, was convicted of helping to deceive investors about the company's financial condition.
The three squandered $208 million of investors' money, according to U.S. Attorney Joseph Hogsett in Indianapolis.
Cochran, who was the chairman of Akron, Ohio-based Fair Finance, was sentenced to 25 years, not the 145 years prosecutors asked for. The government recommended 85 years for Snow, Fair Finance's ex-chief financial officer. He received a 10-year term.
Each man addressed the court before being sentenced.
'Feel Badly'
"I feel badly about all this," Durham told Magnus- Stinson. He said he was surprised at the amount of money lost by four victims who also spoke in court today.
"I wish I had tried harder to make things clearer for them," he said of Fair Finance's public disclosures.
Founded in 1934, Fair Finance provided retailer liquidity by buying receivables at a discount with money raised through sales of interest-bearing certificates.
Durham and Cochran acquired Fair Finance through a holding company in 2002. By February 2005, Fair Finance had shifted from providing commercial financing to making loans to its principals, their associates, Obsidian and other entities they controlled, according to the indictment.
His voice choked with emotion today, Cochran told the judge he hadn't intended for "any of this to happen." He said he had grown up with people like those who invested in the company and that he understood the impact of their losses.
Snow said he was humiliated and asked for leniency.
Longest Sentence
"This sentence is the longest white-collar fraud sentence in Indiana history," Hogsett told reporters outside the courthouse after Magnus-Stinson set Durham's punishment.
"Throughout these proceedings, we all heard Tim Durham say his failures were the fault of many things -- the government, the media and the nation's economic struggles," the prosecutor said. "It was Tim Durham and the selfish destructive actions of people like him that squandered America's economic strength. It was Tim Durham, along with Rick Snow and James Cochran who stole the hopes and dreams of those people."
At trial, Durham defense attorney John Tompkins had argued his client was trying to prop up a faltering company and had put $28 million of his own money into it.
The lawyer returned to that theme in a pre-sentence court filing in which he'd attributed Fair Finance's losses to the U.S. financial downturn in 2008 and 2009 and negative press coverage that reduced investor interest in the business.
Wire Fraud
A jury on June 20 found Durham guilty of all 10 counts of wire fraud and one count of securities fraud, each punishable by as long as 20 years in prison, and one count of conspiring to commit those crimes. Jurors deliberated for less than a day after a 10-day trial.
Cochran was found guilty of eight counts and Snow was convicted on five. The jury found all three men guilty of wire fraud as well as the lone securities fraud count and the charge of conspiring to commit each of those crimes.
Four victims of Fair Finance addressed the court before the sentences were imposed.
One, retired nun Barbara Lukacik, 74, of Akron, told the judge she invested $125,000 with Fair and lost it all. She said she avoids taking public assistance by caring for children.
"You probably felt you were above the law," Lukacik said to the defendants. "Shame on you."
Durham, a Republican Party fundraiser, resigned from National Lampoon in January. The Los Angeles-based media company wasn't named in the government's charging documents.
The case is U.S. v. Durham, 11-cr-00042, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Indiana (Indianapolis).

Get closer, or lower the transmit rate (iwconfig <iface> rate 1M).
your AP or someone else's? do you have permission?
sounds like the victim ap have mac filtering enabled........
Watch your back, your packetz will belong to me soon... xD
BackTrack : Giving Machine Guns to Monkeys since 2006
Not being a troll or anything but I think its because you are too far away m8t. Because MAC filtering wouldn't even let you associate at all.
Very low signal!!!
And Because of that make me think that the AP in question is not yours so I'm not going to say anymore.
I appologize if I am wrong
How far are you from the AP and what kind of model is the AP?
dd if=/dev/swc666 of=/dev/wyze
The PWR level was fluctuating between 15 and 25. So moving closer should help?
My dad said he doesn't even know what mac filtering is so i'm pretty sure it's not enabled.
You are using the BSSID for the ESSID bro.
the -e argument is where you put the ESSID and you put the MAC address there, thats why its partially successfull but ultimately fails.
Put the ESSID after the -e (its case sensitive) and try again, should work

Hello i´m starting this thread because of a recently accepted Logo Mockup on Graphicriver. It is an obvious rip-off from other (popular) mockups and shortly after it appeared there were already more than 5 people pointing out in the comments that it is 100% stolen.
To that time it had 0 sales. Well, how is it possible, that now, 2 days later, the file is still up and even has 6 sales ?
Submiting a ticket isn´t the best method in my opinion because it would just take too long. Why can´t it be implemented that if more than 10 authors flag the file for being a rip-off, the item will be publically marked (warn buyers) and the stuff will get a mail.
One doesn´t need any qualification to identify that some items are completly stolen… We just need someone to take them down before they start getting sales…
I have reported the item immediately and staff responded shortly (real message, not automated) but the item is still there and getting sales. Sorry Envato but this looks like you are supporting this shameless behavior. One thing that is bugging me about those stolen items are the earnings, what happens with them if the thief gets banned?
What kind of training are the reviewers going through if they approve this kind of copies of very popular files?
I'm surprised this item got approved anyway. I've also sent a support ticket.
Flag is a good idea! +1
The problem is that stolen files get approved without blinking and some designs are rejected saying that they are similar to others from the market when they're not.
You've got my vote. Make it only visible for authors.
Excellent idea h3design!
I remember in the old time there was definitely a Report button, near your "© All Rights Reserved" line in the item page. Somehow during the adjustments of the item page it seemed to be removed.
I have seen the one you mentioned in the topic. What makes me really sad is how this got approved while many other author worked and got themselves rejections for similarity…
It is still up… Do Forum Mods have the ability to take down items ? i think they don´t, right ? There should be some selected mods who are able to do this…
Seems like the delete button is hampered.

The purpose of this information is to assist persons in the beauty industry to understand Washington's excise taxes. Beauty-related services include body piercing, haircuts, manicures, and massages.
For additional information or answers to any questions about Washington excise taxes, please contact us.
A person licensed under RCW 18.16 to engage in the practice of barbering.
"The practice of barbering" means the cutting, trimming, arranging, dressing, curling, shampooing, shaving, and mustache and beard design of the hair of the face, neck, and scalp.
The B&O tax applies to the gross amount received from conducting business. There are different reporting classifications for retail sales, wholesale sales, professional services, and other business activities. Each classification has its own tax rate. Persons performing more than one activity may be subject to B&O tax under more than one reporting classification.
A consumer is any person who uses tangible personal property and receives services defined as retail sales. Tangible personal property or services may be for personal use or for use conducting business activities. If you 're a seller, you need to know who is a consumer to know when to collect sales tax. If you are a buyer, you need to know when to pay sales tax to the seller and, if sales tax hasn't been paid, when to pay sales tax (often referred to as "deferred sales tax") or use tax directly to the Department of Revenue.
"The practice of cosmetology" means arranging, dressing, cutting, trimming, styling, shampooing, permanent waving, chemical relaxing, straightening, curling, bleaching, lightening, coloring, waxing, tweezing, shaving, and mustache and beard design of the hair of the face, neck, and scalp; temporary removal of superfluous hair by use of depilatories, waxing, or tweezing; manicuring and pedicuring, limited to cleaning, shaping, polishing, decorating, and caring for and treatment of the cuticles and nails of the hands and feet, excluding the application and removal of sculptured or otherwise artificial nails; esthetics limited to toning the skin of the scalp, stimulating the skin of the body by the use of preparations, tonics, lotions, or creams; and tinting eyelashes and eyebrows.

The gross amount includes all consideration received without deductions for the costs of doing business or other expenses.
"Practice of manicuring" means the cleaning, shaping, polishing, decorating, and caring for and treatment of the cuticles and the nails of the hands or feet, and the application and removal of sculptured or otherwise artificial nails by hand or with mechanical or electrical apparatus or appliances.
A person licensed under RCW 18.16 to engage in the practice of manicuring.
A tax imposed on the buyer of goods and certain retail services. The seller is responsible for collecting the tax from the consumer and remitting the tax to the Department of Revenue. The sales tax is a combined state and local tax.
Revised Code of Washington. The Revised Code of Washington (RCW) is the compilation of all permanent laws (i.e., statutes) currently in force.
"Salon/shop" means any building, structure, or any part thereof where the commercial practice of cosmetology, barbering, esthetics, or manicuring is conducted. This includes individuals leasing space where services are performed. There are specific licensing requirements in Washington: Persons operating a salon/shop, including a mobile unit, or other location, must obtain a specific shop license/location license from the Department of Licensing in addition to getting their business license, and individual cosmetologist, barber, manicurist or esthetician license.
Sometimes called a registration, tax reporting account, or "C," the Unified Business Identifier (UBI) number is a nine-digit number used to identify persons engaging in business activities. The number is assigned when a person completes a Business License Application to register with or obtain a license from state agencies. Important: Persons operating a salon/shop must also obtain a specific shop license through the Department of Licensing, in addition to the business license.
Use tax is a tax imposed on the use of goods in this state as a consumer when the goods are purchased or acquired without payment of this state's retail sales tax. With respect to the use of goods as a consumer, either sales tax or use tax, but not both, applies. In this manner, use tax serves to complement the sales tax. Like the sales tax, the use tax is a combined state and local tax. Use tax rates and sales tax rates are identical.

Washington law, chapter 82.19 RCW, imposes a litter tax on manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers of certain products which contribute to the litter problem in this state. The specific products listed in RCW 82.19.020 include toiletries.
The gross proceeds from sales of hair products, and other beauty and personal care related products in Washington, is subject to the litter tax. Report such sales under the litter tax line on the excise tax return. This is in addition to reporting your sales of beauty products under the Retailing B&O tax classification and retail sales tax. For more information, see Litter tax.
Use tax is a tax imposed on the use of tangible personal property in Washington when sales tax has not been paid. It is computed at the same rate as the sales tax. Unless specifically exempt by law, all tangible personal property purchased or used in this state is subject to either the sales tax or use tax, but not both, regardless of where or from whom the property is purchased.
There are many instances where sales tax is not paid to the seller. The following are examples of transactions where sales tax may not be collected by the seller:
The following equipment and supplies are subject to use/deferred sales tax if sales tax was not previously paid:
In most cases, when a cosmetologist, barber, manicurist, or esthetician rents a chair or booth within a shop, they are considered an independent contractor instead of an employee.

There are specific licensing requirements in Washington State related to cosmetologists, barber, manicurist, or estheticians, and for persons operating such businesses.

Meet (watch out for!) plenty of tourists from around the world. Play it twice!

Bjarke Ingels, architecture's favorite enfant terrible, makes some of the most whimsical projects in the world. Tasked with designing the Amagerforbraending waste incinerator for Copenhagen, he turned in plans for plant that doubled as a ski slope. The Bjarke Ingels Group–designed Superkilen—part urban park, part global fairgrounds—brought design objects from all over the world to the most ethnically mixed neighborhood in Denmark.
Now, BIG is building a maze in Washington, D.C. How's that for a folly?
This summer, the National Building Museum will host the "BIG Maze", a 61-foot-by-61-foot labyrinth. The maze, which will be erected in Baltic birch plywood, summons to mind the hedge mazes of 18th-century Europe. But BIG has put in a twist: The 18-foot-high walls descend in height as one proceeds through the maze toward the center, meaning that the vantage point from the center offers perfect knowledge of how the maze works.
Of course you want to go play around in a maze this summer. If there's one thing that could improve a Danish maze, it's Texas barbecue—and the National Building Museum, which is not to be outdone, will be serving it up all summer long. The BIG Maze is part of the museum's Summer Block Party series, which includes weekend pop-up barbecue from Hill Country on the museum's lawn.

I have never gotten any of the bluetooth BS to work. Awesome tutorial though!
Backtrack Ultimate Bluetooth Tutorial
Hey all
After I received lots of mail and requests I decided to shed some more light on bluetooth. In this tutorial I am going to be covering the following subjects...
1) Setting up your bluetooth equipment
2) Scanning and fingerprinting devices
3) Connectivity and RFCOMM
4) Bluebugging & Bluesnarfing
And as a merry Christmas to all at remote exploits
5) Making bluetooth sniffing hardware for $39.99
Video tutorials on different subjects will be added to this post over the next week.
OK lets begin the first subject might sound silly to most here but for the guys that just don't know I'm going to cover it anyway. To setup your bluetooth USB device simply plug it in and wait for 10 sec's. Then type in console
And you should have your adapter up and working, you can test with the following command .....Code:hciconfig hci0 up
And you should see something like the following .Code:hciconfig -a
Ok if you are stuck at this point I would suggest you go out and buy a compatible USB dongle for backtrack But if you are still with me lets move on.Code:hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 00:11:22:33:44:55 ACL MTU: 678:8 SCO MTU: 48:10 UP RUNNING RX bytes:85 acl:0 sco:0 events:9 errors:0 TX bytes:33 acl:0 sco:0 commands:9 errors:0 Features: 0xbf 0xfe 0x8d 0x78 0x08 0x18 0x00 0x00 Packet type: DM1 DM3 DM5 DH1 DH3 DH5 HV1 HV2 HV3 Link policy: Link mode: SLAVE ACCEPT Name: 'ISSCBTA' Class: 0x000000 Service Classes: Unspecified Device Class: Miscellaneous, HCI Ver: 1.2 (0x2) HCI Rev: 0x1fe LMP Ver: 1.2 (0x2) LMP Subver: 0x1fe Manufacturer: Integrated System Solution Corp. (57)
Next is fingerprinting a bluetooth device. Fingerprinting is a term we use for profiling a device, and to do this backtrack has a collection of tools called bluez. Bluez is like the standard bluetooth package for linux. For fingerprinting we can use a couple of those tools. One is hcitool, we can use hcitool to scan for devices that are broadcasting. We scan with hcitool with the following command.
And you should see something like ...Code:hcitool scan hci0
You can also brute force scan for devices, backtrack also has you covered on this with a wonderful tool called btscanner. Btscanner can also inquiry scan You would use btscanner in a inquiry scan if you were wardriving.Code:Scanning ... 00:11:22:33:44:55 hackme
The other is Sdptool, sdptool will browse our device for open channels and tell us what services are available on what channels.
We fingerprint devices with sdptool by issuing the following command
And you should see something like this .........Code:sdptool browse victim_Mac
Lets take a look at what we have, on two we have a serial port/channel on three we have dial up on 6 we have OBEX ftp and on 7 we have OPUSH.Code:Service Name: Serial Port Service RecHandle: 0x10001 Service Class ID List: "Serial Port" (0x1101) Protocol Descriptor List: "L2CAP" (0x0100) "RFCOMM" (0x0003) Channel: 2 Profile Descriptor List: "Serial Port" (0x1101) Version: 0x0100 Service Name: Dial-up Networking Service RecHandle: 0x10002 Service Class ID List: "Dialup Networking" (0x1103) Protocol Descriptor List: "L2CAP" (0x0100) "RFCOMM" (0x0003) Channel: 3 Profile Descriptor List: "Dialup Networking" (0x1103) Version: 0x0100 Service Name: OBEX File Transfer Service RecHandle: 0x10007 Service Class ID List: "OBEX File Transfer" (0x1106) Protocol Descriptor List: "L2CAP" (0x0100) "RFCOMM" (0x0003) Channel: 6 "OBEX" (0x0008) Profile Descriptor List: "OBEX File Transfer" (0x1106) Version: 0x0100 Service Name: Object Push Service RecHandle: 0x10008 Service Class ID List: "OBEX Object Push" (0x1105) Protocol Descriptor List: "L2CAP" (0x0100) "RFCOMM" (0x0003) Channel: 7 "OBEX" (0x0008) Profile Descriptor List: "OBEX Object Push" (0x1105) Version: 0x0100
All are interesting And no we have a pretty good idea about what the device is and so on.
Now on to the bit most people I speak to struggle with the dreaded RFCOMM :O. RFCOMM is a simple set of transport protocols, made on top of the L2CAP protocol, providing emulated RS-232 serial port. or in lamens terms they provide the language your device and laptop need to talk to each other.
Now the first thing to do is to setup our bluetooth configuration so lets go over to the /etc dir and get stuck in.
open /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf and replace the lot with this
You can setup your own passkey and name, also go over to a shell and typeCode:# # HCI daemon configuration file. # # HCId options options { # Automatically initialize new devices autoinit yes; # Security Manager mode # none - Security manager disabled # auto - Use local PIN for incoming connections # user - Always ask user for a PIN # security auto; # Pairing mode # none - Pairing disabled # multi - Allow pairing with already paired devices # once - Pair once and deny successive attempts pairing multi; # Default PIN code for incoming connections passkey "1234"; } # Default settings for HCI devices device { # Local device name # %d - device id # %h - host name name "device1"; # Local device class class 0x000000; # Default packet type #pkt_type DH1,DM1,HV1; # Inquiry and Page scan iscan enable; pscan enable; # Default link mode # none - no specific policy # accept - always accept incoming connections # master - become master on incoming connections, # deny role switch on outgoing connections lm accept,master; # Default link policy # none - no specific policy # rswitch - allow role switch # hold - allow hold mode # sniff - allow sniff mode # park - allow park mode lp rswitch,hold,sniff,park; auth enable; encrypt enable; }
And copy the class to hcid.conf, save and exit. You could setup rfcomm here to but its a live cd.Code:hciconfig -a
Now restart your bluetooth device like so
And now we can setup our rfcomm binds, I will post a bash script when I have time but for now you will have to do it the manual way .Code:bash /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth restart
First thing is to setup our devices .....
Ok what we did there is create three binds to our bluetooth device. First one is RFCOMM0 and is on channel 3 DUN Dial up, Second is RFCOMM1 and is on channel 6 FTP and the third is RFCOMM2 and is on channel 7 OBEX push.Code:mknod -m 666 /dev/rfcomm0 c 216 3 mknod -m 666 /dev/rfcomm1 c 216 6 mknod -m 666 /dev/rfcomm2 c 216 7
Now lets connect it all up with sdptool.
Now we have setup our bluetooth dongle correctly we can begin hackingCode:sdptool add --channel=3 DUN sdptool add --channel=6 FTP sdptool add --channel=7 OPUSH
If I were to talk you though every possible exploit there is for bluetooth it would take all next year and I still wouldn't be finished so the two hack are going to be bluesnarfer and bluebugger.
Bluesnarfer connects to a target Bluetooth device via Bluetooth's OBEX Push profile. But instead of pushing a business card, it pulls, using a "get" request for files with known names, such as the phonebook file (telecom/pb.vcf) or the calendar file (telecom/cal.vcs), Bluebugger works in a similar way.
Also bear in mind that these security flaws can still be used against you. With a little bit of social engineering you could pre pair a phone to your laptop and exploit it from then onwards. Stand by for a video of bluesnarfer and bluebugger successfully completing a hack on my samsung d600.
Both are pretty strait forward to use now you have your bluetooth setup correctly. I'm not going to post commands because their is a video on the way. First bluebugger....
And Bluesnarfer ......Code:bluebugger 0.1 ( MaJoMu | www.codito.de ) ----------------------------------------- Usage: bluebugger [OPTIONS] -a <addr> [MODE] -a <addr> = Bluetooth address of target Options: -------- -m <name> = Name to use when connecting (default: '') -d <device> = Device to use (default: '/dev/rfcomm') -c <channel> = Channelto use (default: 17) -n = No device name lookup -t <timeout> = Timeout in seconds for name lookup (default: 5) -o <file> = Write output to <file> Mode: ----- info = Read Phone Info (default) phonebook = Read Phonebook (default) messages = Read SMS Messages (default) dial <num> = Dial number ATCMD = Custom Command (e.g. '+GMI') Note: Modes can be combined, e.g. 'info phonebook +GMI'
Now for the finally how to turn an ordinary USB bluetooth dongle into a $1000 dollar sniffing toolCode:bluesnarfer, version 0.1 - usage: bluesnarfer [options] [ATCMD] -b bt_addr ATCMD : valid AT+CMD (GSM EXTENSION) TYPE : valid phonebook type .. example : "DC" (dialed call list) "SM" (SIM phonebook) "RC" (recevied call list) "XX" much more -b bdaddr : bluetooth device address -C chan : bluetooth rfcomm channel -c ATCMD : custom action -r N-M : read phonebook entry N to M -w N-M : delete phonebook entry N to M -f name : search "name" in phonebook address -s TYPE : select phonebook memory storage -l : list aviable phonebook memory storage -i : device info
I have never gotten any of the bluetooth BS to work. Awesome tutorial though!
I felt like bending the bars back, and ripping out the window frames and eating them. yes, eating them! Leaping, leaping, leaping! Colonics for everyone! All right! You dumb*sses. I'm a mental patient. I'm *supposed* to act out!
Finally and to say merry xmas here it is, how to turn an ordinary USB dongle with a Cambridge Silicon Radio chipset into the FTS4BT sniffing dongle Before we begin I would like to say I do not hold any responsibility for anybody breaking their equipment. You are doing this at your own risk : but hey for $39 who cares
I have been reading upon this for a while now and I was reading one of max@remote-exploit papers where he had changed the firmware using the bluez utilities to make the dongle go into RAW mode or promiscuous mode.
Seems I was a bit keen in this tutorial as it turns out this mod was not successful after all. The reason being that there are two types of bluecore-4 chipset, BlueCore-4 rom and BlueCore-4 external. The ROM chip has the firmware embedded on the chip and the EXT model has external memory for the firmware. You need to be able to update the firmware to allow sniffing in windows.
To find out if you have the right type of chipset, type ........
And if you see EXT excellent but see ROM and you are no go. Saying that ROM chipsets will still go into RAW mode and the FTS4BT software reads the device as compatible but calibration crashed for me.Code:hciconfig hci* revision
Also it must be in promiscuous mode because we see bytes via hciconfig and RAW on the modes ??? I'm looking into this more at the moment so as I learn more I will add.
First lets backup your old firmware with dfutool.
Select the corresponding number to your card. Next lets fire up the cardCode:dfutool -d hci0 archive backold.dfu
This may not make sense now but it will very soon so pay attention lol. There are multiple places to read bytes on the stick. Depending on what card you are using these can be different. In general these are "Default" (0×0000), "param" (0×0008), "psi" (0×0001), "psf" (0×0002) and "psrom" (0×0004). If yours is different you cankeeptrying until you run out of numbers and then take the dongle backCode:hciconfig hci0 up
Now we have have to hunt down the value of the USB product & vendor identifier.
To get the product ID type
And you shroud seeCode:bccmd psget -s 0x0000 0x02bf
And now the vendor IDCode:USB product identifier: 0x0001 (1)
From what I have read most of the time the stuff you need to edit is on psf 0×0002 but yours may be different. But theres only five it can be Now lets write the new IDCode:bccmd psget -s 0x0000 0x02be
Now check the changes were madeCode:bccmd psset -s 0×0000 0×02bf 0×0002
And you should see nowCode:bccmd psget -s 0x0000 0x02bf
Sucsess !!!!!!Code:USB product identifier: 0x0002 (2)
Now from what I have read 9 times out of ten you don't need to change your vendor ID but check to see if its 0×0a12 if not change that to.
And you are done, there is support for *nux but I have yet to find it but you can see it sniffing if you keep retyping hciconfig hci0 you will see the tx and rx byte rising and you are in RAW modeCode:bccmd psset -s 0×0000 0×02be 0×0a12
Now more and more stuff is coming out every month on this stuff so now it may seen pointless but give it 6 months and you will be laughingCode:drgr33n ~ # hciconfig hci0 hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 00:11:67:5A:A5:C8 ACL MTU: 0:0 SCO MTU: 0:0 UP RUNNING RAW RX bytes:41281 acl:0 sco:0 events:0 errors:0 TX bytes:42532 acl:0 sco:0 commands:1971 errors:0 drgr33n ~ # hciconfig hci0 hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 00:11:67:5A:A5:C8 ACL MTU: 0:0 SCO MTU: 0:0 UP RUNNING RAW RX bytes:41293 acl:0 sco:0 events:0 errors:0 TX bytes:42535 acl:0 sco:0 commands:1972 errors:0 drgr33n ~ # hciconfig hci0 hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 00:11:67:5A:A5:C8 ACL MTU: 0:0 SCO MTU: 0:0 UP RUNNING RAW RX bytes:41305 acl:0 sco:0 events:0 errors:0 TX bytes:42538 acl:0 sco:0 commands:1973 errors:0 drgr33n ~ # hciconfig hci0 hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 00:11:67:5A:A5:C8 ACL MTU: 0:0 SCO MTU: 0:0 UP RUNNING RAW RX bytes:41317 acl:0 sco:0 events:0 errors:0 TX bytes:42541 acl:0 sco:0 commands:1974 errors:0 drgr33n ~ # hciconfig hci0 hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 00:11:67:5A:A5:C8 ACL MTU: 0:0 SCO MTU: 0:0 UP RUNNING RAW RX bytes:41329 acl:0 sco:0 events:0 errors:0 TX bytes:42544 acl:0 sco:0 commands:1975 errors:0
Merry Christmas !
Funny Stuff.
I was able to get most of this working, however, my headset was not vulnerable or something.
I felt like bending the bars back, and ripping out the window frames and eating them. yes, eating them! Leaping, leaping, leaping! Colonics for everyone! All right! You dumb*sses. I'm a mental patient. I'm *supposed* to act out!
Very nice write up
As you stated, this isn't an area that really gets much coverage, primarily because it has always been artificially *held* within the mega-bucks arena.
But I suppose I can understand why, too
Yea car whisperer is funny and a nice add too Cheers spankdidly
@ Re@lity yep thats why we have to bring their $1000 dollar bill down to $39 ;D
Just as some side info, if you are using a logitech bluetooth adapter that came with your keybaord/mouse you may get an issue with the hciconfig hci0 up command. To remedy this, enter the commands...
hciconfig hci0 up
and last to make sure its up, hciconfig -a
This probably doesn't apply to many people but oh well.
(I had that problem though. Thanks google. )
Dr_Green I love you !!!
Will have a go at this lot the other side of the weekend
Much appreciated.
Great Dr_Greeeeeeeennnnnnn!
Thanks guys glad you liked it, sorry about the bad english and spelling, It was late last nite and I was running on about 10 % brainpower Just been through and sorted the odd really bad bits out.

good supplement to the gym
By Squeaky Wheel
from Jacksonville, FL
I bought this machine so I won't have to dress up and go down to our gym, while watching my own preferred TV shows. The idea was very good and the machine proved to be useful for this purpose. But like previous review, the motion is small (which is good since it makes you work out more I suppose) and if you're balance challenged like me, you would need to have something to hold on to from time to time. About after the 1000 steps, the left wheel started making noises and now that it has restarted, I believe the wheel has been chipping off (as evidenced by the black material on my rug). I have readjusted this three times now but it still goes back to that squeaky wheel (literally). So I have decided to disassemble and to re send back. I will just have to go to the Gym for now. But all in all, the concept is good for small spaces and the work out is great.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great Elliptical For The Price
By Super Consumer
from Oviedo, Florida
Great little work out for hot or rainy days. Item was in pieces and not mentioned on description.Item was delivered with no assembly instructions. I called the manufacturer and they were extremely rude.

Exactly what I needed
By Liz
from Alberta
I bought this to use it as described (as an elliptical trainer) and was delighted to find out that it can be used in the reverse position as a recumbent bicycle, giving me a number of workouts in one small machine.

Product Arrived as Described
By K
from P, NJ
I have been using this product for only about a week and a half and I will admit that I totally underestimated it. I purchased it originally because of the size. It is easy to store away and lightweight. When I received it, I noticed that the box said it was meant for people with joint problems who might need rehabilitation. I was a little disheartened as I purchased this product to actually work out, but when I started I was blown away. This little machine is no joke. The balancing act adds an extra level of difficulty so if you're used to an elliptical that has the incline adjustments, you won't necessarily miss it. I will say that pedaling at a very slow rate (think warm up or when you first step on) there is a squeak that comes from the rubber wheels rolling over the metal plate, but when you pick up speed, this noise is eliminated. When I first put it together a small plastic piece actually came off, but it is not vital to the workings of the machine and was just in place for aesthetics. This thing works and works well, in spite of the squeak, if you're actually using it right. It can be used for a real work out if you want it to.
Great for TV!
By Lazy Gamer
from San Diego
Bought this for my wife and ended up using it while sitting playing videogames. 90 minutes later I've got a good sweat going and burned 1200 calories without even realizing it! I would totally recommend this to any gamer with a couple pounds to lose. Gotta keep up with our hot wives!

Elliptical Trainer; Decent workout
By Fuzzy
from Reno, NV
Had the product for one week, used it a few times. Really feel it in the legs. It's a short stride, but still enough to get the heart rate going, heavy breathing, and a sweat. I think the distance calibration is incorrect, otherwise I'm suddenly a world class distance sprinter. It had me down as going one mile in just over 4 minutes. I doubt the accuracy of that because I wasn't 'sprinting' at all. But the other 'metrics' seem good to go. We like it; my wife, 9-yr old son, and I use it. Can even use it sitting down, but not terribly convenient and certainly distracting from whatever I'm trying to do so prefer to use it standing, near something I can grab or lean against for balance from time to time until I get into my stride.

I love this exerciser & use it daily.
By no nickname
from Paterson, N. J. 07513
I use this exerciser daily,for approximately 45 to 50 minutes per session. half peddling forward and half backward.It's easy and comfortable to use & transport from room to room. I love this machine!!!
I would recommend this.
By Kiki
from Bangor ME
I use it standing, when reading or typing at the computer. It would be useful for tv watching too. It was easy for me to put together.
By Dave
from Seattle, WA
This product is more beefy than typical mini-steppers. It went together very easily. I have not yet put it through its paces since it is more of a winter workout item. The last mini-stepper I bought broke in two sessions. I am hopeful that this design will be more resilient for intense 30 minute sessions several times a week. The guaranty gives me added confidence that this will be a good overall value. A little early to make a recommendation to friends.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Extremely helpful, pateint and friendly staff. Excellent well stocked breakfast buffet, very tasty. Decent size room, that was cleaned professionally every morning. Expected the single bed to be slightly larger and the pillows to be bigger and firmer. Overall though was a lovely stay and suited my needs.
Style of the building and interior. Huge room, a lot of light everywhere (except the bar - it was too dim there). Rich breakfast. A lot of improvements for wheelchair users should be made
I am currently working in Karlskrona. Kalmar is a lovely town for a weekend break, so we were just chilling out really.
the location was perfect, the breakfast buffet was huge & excellent with many more different items than the usual, much more than we expected, front desk was helpful with directions, always tea & cookies downstairs the first night (out of 3) our room was not thoroughly cleaned (but when brought to the attention of the front desk the next time it was spotless)
The Pub The pub to noisy to have dinner
The overall cleanliness was superb> The breakfast buffet was extremely well presented.Staff where very accomodating from the bar too the room service No
The location of the hotel is good.
All very well
Nice rooms whit soffa, nice size of room. Good location o near to shops. Very nice stuff No minibar in room
Quiet room, slept well. Nice breakfast Slightly run-down. Floors in room was not swept
Close proximity to town centre. Friendly, helpfull staff and a comfortable bed.
Very comfortable hotel, with friendly staff. A really lovely place to stay and in a good location for all the amenities of the town. A little bit quiet in the lounge areas. Could have had a better stocked bar and a little background music to create an atmosphere, as it's a beautiful but underused area.
Small room and bathroom but nice and clean.
Location and breakfast It doesn´t have a mini refrigerator and a telefone inside the room.
Enjoyed the laid back atmosphere and friendly staff. The lounge was very pleasant, and they were playing Christmas music. Breakfast was varied in content and plentiful, and delicious. There was no elevator and three floors of rooms.
The main part of the hotel is a beautiful old building.Staff were attentive . Our rooms were in a modern annex across the street - not so nice !
The friendly atmosphere. It was a bit chilly in the breakfast-room
Charming buildings. Fine breakfast included. Easy free parking at least when hotel is not busy.
Excellent facilities and tastefully decorated lobby and lounge common areas. Very helpful and pleasant staff. Location was excellent for the castle and a short walk to the shopping areas. No major issues but the stairs to the second floor annex are narrow and steep. Only an issue when carry large luggage pieces.
I liked the ambiance of the hotel. It was like an inn or bed and breakfast instead of a hotel. It had lots of pictures and antiques throughout the hotel which gave it the feeling of being in someone's home. The staff could be rather inconsiderate. loud music on the patio area.
There was construction work going on which made sleeping after 7am impossible. Further to that there was quite a strong unpleasant smell in the bathroom. Also, the breakfast buffet was not refilled. Coming later you had just a smaller choice. Overall, not too bad but also not the best I had so far.
This hotel was very clean and appealing. The staff was most friendly and accommodating. It was a very pleasant stay.
Kalmar (and Best Western Kalmarsund Hotell) was at good place on route from Copenhagen to Grannkullavik to catch the ferry to Gotland/Visby. We can't blaim the hotel that what should have been a 10 day tour to Gotland ended up as a one day trip to Kalmar due to the ferry collision in Nynäshamn on the 23rd July 2009.
Except maybe place really nothing special if you are not fan of whiskey. Absolutely bad value for money - paying almost 200 Euros per night for really not worth of it conditions like 15 sq.m. for family of 4 people and kitchen smell from the window whole day long. Never visit such places next time for such money - real value is about 50-70 Euros like in 1-2 star hotel or camping.
well situated, nice animation at dinner (singer) room standard not aligned with price ! Mostly unpleasant staff
Nice atmosphere, friendly personel not worth its 4 stars, expansive
The location was great, and the stay included breakfast. The hotel had a couple hot tubs outside which were well maintained. There were flies all over the breakfast buffet, and the rooms were very outdated and simple. Overall it felt like an overpriced motel, and the hotel staff was not friendly. I wouldn't stay here again.
Enjoyed the swimming pool very much; the Oland island is a nicde place to relax.
Very nice rooms. Location at the harbor. Elaborate breakfast buffet and diner.
Breakfast and dinner were included in the package. The food was traditional Swedish food and good. The first room we were given was not clean. When we inquired about it, we were given another room. Also, we had requested a room with a balcony assuming that we would have a view of the bay. Instead, we were given a room looking out onto an alleyway. This was very deceptive. Also, the hotel was not easy to find even with maps and a GPS.
This place should be rated very highly by all guests. There is a free evening meal that would have cost well over 600 sek in the city...included!!! Breakfast was truly exceptional. Even if not intending to travel to Kalmar...come here anyway! Did I mention we really enjoyed our stay here? We find no fault with this hotel
It is directly near the inner city and one can see the Öland bridge out of the window, it is directly at the baltic sea! Parking is not for free....
Location was great. Could walk to downtown to shop or eat. Close to bridge to Oland and castle.
Clean, large rooms; great breakfast and evening buffet; friendly and helpful staff. I recommend it to others. Our view was over the roof of a parking garage but we could see some of the water traffic.
Complimentary evening buffet,cenrtral locatiıon and well desigened rooms.
The hotel is situated at a very nice location. Ask for a seaview room.
Nice location. Rooms not ready - sent up with all luggage to find it still dirty from previous guests. Rooms not as expected.
I liked especially the interior of the rooms and the location on the water. The idea of the hotelstaff to have a coffeemachine in the reataurant, operable for free coffee and tea at every time, is a very good idea. none
Not a very smart way of phrasing the question. It makes me think that people often complain! However, I had a very nice experience in the hotel and I have stayed there before and will use it again. Not for its charm, because it does not have that, but because of convenience and very friendly staff See above
Very helpful staff; lovely room and comfy beds; powerful shower; and you get to make your own waffles. The shower overflowed along the ledge in the bathroom and soaked our clothes! Otherwise nothing. Oh except the coffee machine at breakfast made nasty weak coffee.
The hotel structure is old,waking around you wouldn't think to be in a 4 star. The furniture of the room was quite new though, but the furniture alone is not enough to change the overall impression.
Good breakfast. The room described as a superior-room was a hole...unable to walk inside. The window gave on a roof. The air conditioning virtually absent and the mini-bar was empty.
Friendly and helpful staff. Very clean rooms. Good location Parking area was small and full already at 17.00 hrs
A fantastic nice place with an incredibly comfortable bed. breakfast room
Staff extremely courteous, friendly, and helpful; they promptly remitted over half a day's room price when the hot water failed our last morning. Breakfast buffet excellent; staff very cooperative about special food needs for our friends; adverse on-line breakfast reviews unwarranted. Bathroom heated floor/towel rods are nice luxury touches. Electronic room safe is a very convenient feature. Adverse guest reviews on-line did not fairly reflect the nice features of this hotel. It is on quiet street a short walk to the waterfront, town square, shops, restaurants, train station, and Kalmar city castle. Paid parking convenient in garage or in lot behind hotel. We'd definitely stay there again! (In fact, we extended 2 days beyond our plans.) The rooms were very nice and generally clean, but the hardwood floors were quite dusty and should have been cleaned better; our sox got very dusty from the floors. Also no electrical outlet in bathroom for shaver or hair-dryer, which was a minor inconvenience.
Location, big room, easy parking Menu was a bit limited and was like a motorway 2* motel. But the prices were OK and there should be something for most travellers.
Easy to find, very close to a big shopping center with Ikea and Baumart and a range of other shops Quite unpersonal
Great, excellent place. Great location, acroos the bridge form Oland.. Easy to get to with car. Free parking for car. Good selection for breakfast
It was on the road.
Convenience for getting to Oland and Kalmar. The restaurant served poor quality food. The room decor was 'tired', the towels were thin and one had a hole in it. The room wasn't made up properly after our first night.
Very nice and friendly stuff at reception internet for money
Good location on the edge of Kalmar, interesting layout. Rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. No restaurant open in the evening, not a huge problem but was a little inconvenient.
good value for money
Room in an indipendent building, Close to the Oland bridge, wi-fi, free pc in the hall Nothing important
There was only the breakfast that I really liked. The Hotel is located near the beach, that's also nice. The price way way too high. Also the star rating. This is a youth hostel and not a 3-star hotel. The rooms are small, we had fungus in our bathroom and the room was dirty.
The breakfasts rooms and dining seperate
Calm, good breakfast Price too high for the category, looks more like a student room than a 3 star hotel,
The hotel staff were excellent, very polite and helpful. The breakfast was good and I had no problems at all during my stay.
- a possibility to check in late then reception work hours; - no problem with kids' cots; free parking and free internet; - room service and clearness is too bad: there was dust floor and stiky table surface; - breakfast buffet is too poor; - it is rather 2-star hotel than 3-star; - recomended for no more then 1 night;
This was a nice hotel to ga sleep for one night because we travelling from the nethelands to Kalmar. And after the night we stay at the klinta camping at kopingsvick. it was an great choise to stay at the Brofästet Hotell & Konferens. Bro!!!!
Very good service. Free internet. Nice surroundings. Pretty close to city centre (walking distance).

Q. Any news what's going to happen with the Fresh & Easy store on Chapman Avenue and Tustin Street? Is it closing soon? I love shopping there for produce. Losing it would be a shame.
– Anna Rosinsky, Orange
A.The fate of the two Fresh & Easy markets in Orange continues to remain unclear (The second store is at Chapman Avenue and Main Street).
Tesco, the British retailer that owns the Fresh & Easy stores, announced in December that it was looking to back out of the U.S. market. Since then, the two stores have remained opened, with loyal shoppers having been left in limbo, at least in regard to knowing the stores' long-term fate.
Tesco has outlined options that include closing and selling off the stores altogether, or finding an investment partner that might help keep them open.
Rumors have circulated in different news reports in recent weeks that a Los Angeles-based investment firm could take over the U.S. stores and rebrand them under a different name. But Tesco officials have continued to be tight-lipped.
Mr. Orange has been out to both stores over the past few weeks and asked employees if they had any insight. Employees said they were also anxiously waiting to see what would happen next.
In the meantime, both stores remain open for business.
Mr. Orange will keep you posted.
Q. I was watching "That Thing You Do!" on television the other day and remembered the time Tom Hanks and his film crew came to Orange to shoot scenes for the movie. Do you know which movies have been shot in Orange? I know there has to be more than a dozen.
– Rose Drummond, Orange
A.There have actually been more than 200 movies, television shows, commercials and reality shows filmed across Orange since the early 1900s.
City Hall actually has a list online at cityoforange.org/depts/commserv/filming that includes several Western short movies from the silent era, where the hills and canyons in East Orange served as the Wild West.
Big-time actors filming in town include Denzel Washington, "Crimson Tide"; Martin Lawrence, "Big Mama's House"; and Ben Affleck, "Surviving Christmas."
Commercials include those for ESPN, Snapple, Toyota, Mazda, International House of Pancakes, McDonald's and Sprint PCS.
Note: A couple of weeks ago, a reader asked Mr. Orange if he knew the correct pronunciation of a street in East Orange called Windes Drive. Mr. Orange could not find a definitive answer and asked his readers for help.
Local historian Douglas Westfall sent Mr. Orange a note saying the street is named after a family that once owned some land in the area. Mr. Westfall said the name Windes is pronounced "like blowing in the 'winds.'"

Sizing Chart
Evolv Sizing Tips
When selecting your size, please keep the following key information in mind to make the best decision.
Tip #1
Finding the perfect size for your EVOLV shoes is critical in getting the maximum return for your intended use of the shoes. In other words, you need to decide what you intend to use your shoes for before selecting the model and size. Ask yourself if you want to use it as a comfortable all-day shoe, a tight performance shoe, or snug fitting all-around shoe and then size them appropriately.
Tip #2
EVOLV shoes are made out of vegan friendly synthetic uppers and do NOT stretch. Therefore, please keep that in mind when trying them on and selecting the right size. The shoes will quickly mold to your feet and fit like a glove, however, unlike leather shoes, they will not stretch out and get sloppy.
Tip #3
EVOLV shoes are scaled so that your US street shoe size will give a snug climbing shoe fit. Of course, this is not true in all cases, but it's a great starting point.
Evolv Fit Profile
The best climbing shoes are the ones that fit your feet, feel comfortable, and don't give you any pain. We designed shoes with various foot profiles to ensure that one of our models will fit your profile. Here are the four basic profiles of our shoes:
- Asymmetrical profile - Longest at the big toe and tapers down to the pinky toe.
- Downturned toe asymmetrical profile - Asymmetrical toe profile with a downward pointing toe for maximum performance on steep and overhanging terrain.
- Symmetrical profile - Longest around the 2nd toe and tapers down on both ends. Commonly known as Morton's toe profile.
- Narrow/low volume profile - Ideal for women and men who need a lower volume shoe that is narrow in the forefoot and heel and lower cut around the ankle bone.

I'm looking for a prog/script/package that will find a client, not an AP when within range?
I would like it to also return an error code so I can trigger a script in response.
I've done the list progs on BT route, but that only names the packages installed, not their function.
Any help would be appreciated.

Miscarriage at a young age is it common?
I was wandering if it is common for young girls to miscarriage their first pregnancy? Or is it something to worry about?

Miscarriage in a young girl or a "something twenties" woman will often depend upon the health of the young lady and the amount of stress she is under. Many young girls have given birth to healthy babies - even girls who had really stressful emotional situations during pregnancy.
15th December 2013 07:15 AM #3
The pregnancy and baby charity Tommy's recently published these statistics about miscarriage:
Under 30: 10 percent risk of miscarriage
35-40: 20 percent chance of miscarriage
Over 45: 50 percent chance of miscarriage
Around 1 in 5 pregnancies will sadly end in a miscarriage. Most women go on to have a successful pregnancy.
Please do post back if you would like to talk about this further.
Best wishes,

It seemed a good idea at the time to define a width for the <p> element:
But now after building 80 pages into my CMS, I need <p> to act like normal with no width on certain pages.
auto doesn't work, 100% doesn't work. I've considered a javascript solution that messes with class names, but would prefer a css rescue of seven or eight characters!
If you have the class on the p then it should look like #content p.myclass {}
Switch them. Sort of.
Yes, that would work, but, I have 25 pages of little used old newsletters that require p to be normal and 80 pages of much used info that use the width. I am building this into a CMS that I want non coders to be able to enter content into. I am afraid adding a div to the page would blow their minds.
The 25 pages are old code that employ inline style declarations in tables.
I guess you can't cancel, only replace, so I am going to use php to make it happen. Something like putting in the body tag:
$class ="article alias from db";
if ($class != "myclass"){
class ="regularcontent";
echo "class=\\"".$class."\\"";
Hopefully that will do it. Thank you everyone for your help!
Not 100% if that will work. Is everything in the same directory?
No, but "everything" is in a db.
Can you distinguish between the pages (a class or id on the body tag or similar)? If so then you could set up the fixed width to only apply for the class or id used by the new pages.
There is no CSS reason for that not to work (if no other related declarations):
#content p { width: 450px; }
#content .myclass p { width:auto; }
Have you check the first assumption that you may not target the right element with your second selector ?
Could we have a look to the HTML code ?
