Reviews for this host's other properties
It was a nice and cozy room. The host was really friendly. The stay was very pleasant.
The apartment was in a great location very close to the metro and the centre of the city. Everything in the apartment worked well and we had a pleasant stay.
The only issue we had was with the wifi which is intermittent due to the flat being in the basement.
We've had an excellent stay in Hamburg at this accomodation. The beautiful staircase and historic outlook make this place a treat for the eye. An adequate offer of two bathrooms and one separate toilet is more than suited to make your stay pleasant. Our hosts were very professional, and in my opinion worked quite well with havings guests in their home. Although you are all in the same (huge!) apartment, you're not at all bothered in any way by each others presence.
The apartment was located very conveniently, only a stone's throw away from Hamburg Hauptbahnhof and nice shops and restaurants. A quick stroll to the center took no less than 10 minutes, with lovely sights and shops on the way. We've had a great stay here and would stay here again the next time we visit Hamburg!
thank you Fritz, the appart was very clean and calm. We enjoyed our stay in Hambourg. We will come again with pleasure.
We had a very nice stay in Hansaplatz 2, 4th floor.
Very nice apartment with all equipment, nice bed, fully equiped kitchen and nice clean bathrooms (3 of them!!).
And very kind owners. We had a lovely weekend:-)
I loved this apartment, it is spacious, comfortable, clean, and it is blissfully quiet! It is also in a great location on historic Deichstrasse which was a real surprise with its restaurants and a great Irish pub with lovely friendly staff. You can walk almost everywhere from here as it sits about half way between the Town Hall and Alster Lake and St Pauli and the Reeperbahn. It is also very close to the new Hafen City area and the many attractions there. If you want to use the U-bahn it is only a couple of hundred yards away. The booking, communication and check-in were very easy, and the Agent's office is just a few feet away so there is always someone if you need help. I liked Hamburg a lot, and found everyone very friendly. It is a very easy and rewarding city to visit and spend time in. I would love to return and will return to and recommend this apartment!
We were with a group of seven and had a nice time in Hamburg. The appartment was clean, the beds were comfy and the appartement was big enough and it was close to the S and U Bahn.
The only things which I think could've been better was the Internet, there was only a hot-spit which didn't work well and there were not enough glasses and cups for seven people.
The apartment was really big and comfortable. Everthing was perfect outside of the lack of hairdryer. Nonetheless, they have provided us one after we had requested. Everthing else has been perfect.
Very nice and spacious appartment. It is quite well located, just closed to Berliner Tor station with connections to all the most important places to visit in Hamburg. It´s only 20 minutes directly from Airport. In the neighborhood you can easily find supermarket (Real and Lidl), bakery, bank, ...
Do not worry about the building, as you enter in it is seems that someone is going to mug you. It is a little bit scary but nothing to do with real life. It is safe and silent.The apparment was EXTREMELY TIDY AND CLEAN, and looks like in pictures. You can find a kitchen with all electrical appliance, even you can find coffee-machine filters for free!. Very confortable beds and a super WLAN internet access. Agentur am Fischmarkt really made our visit in Hamburg.
It was perfect!

Five industry experts advise specialty pharma company on digital strategy
Five industry experts advise specialty pharma company on digital strategy
Speaking to the Whole Patient
Raj Amin, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, HealthiNation; previously Vice President of Business Development, N2 Broadband; member, POZEN Digital Advisory Board
Patients have become key constituents in their own care decisions, a trend that is only going to accelerate especially as the digital landscape continues to provide more information to empower and educate. The good news is there are a variety of opportunities for pharmaceutical companies to be trusted partners with patients as they address their health, especially in the area of chronic conditions. But, if these patients are going to accept help from pharma, it's critical that marketers step back and take a "whole patient" view of the issues and reassess how they expect to be part of the solution.
Doctors are reporting more frequently that patients are coming in prepared with real questions based on good information. The best doctors are embracing this trend and are engaging in a real dialogue with patients about their personal needs and the information a patient brings to the table. In fact, as the overall healthcare system begins to embrace some of the recent legislation in the broader care delivery sector, my hope is this will add fuel to the fire. In this broader context, pharma companies have an opportunity to enable services that truly impact outcomes, drive business success and make a difference in patients' lives.
The expectation of quality and the need to speak to the whole patient
In recent decades, pharma has been part of the educational process for conditions with limited success. It would be difficult to find any pharma-owned websites that rank within the top 50 websites in health. In my opinion, there are a few reasons for this. Many patients truly do not trust information that comes directly from pharma and this isn't easy to change. Every time there has been a cover up of research information that hits the news, it's another hit to consumer trust. Beyond this, the regulatory requirements for pharma usually make it difficult to create information that is as effective as it could be. Frankly, regulatory groups can have the tendency to take the most risk-averse approach since they often see themselves as the voice that must save the company from taking any risk. This is a difficult problem to solve and not one I will dig into here. Another factor is the focus on most strategies on closing a patient into its CRM funnel. While this is an important goal, undue focus on this goal detracts from the information that could be provided to service the patient in a meaningful way.
There are certainly some good investments in content for these sites that I've seen, but many of these are "bolted on" and don't reflect the quality levels that you need to compete for time. Today there are so many choices for consumers to get information, therefore both the quality of the content and the relevance to a patient have to be superb for them to stay and engage. If this can be done right, and potentially with the right partners at the table, there is no reason why a brand could not start to achieve "organic" activity based on natural traffic and referrals. A focus on the "whole patient" is required to create a true audience that will consider brands a welcome passenger on their journey, rather than just a sign on the highway.
Opportunities for pharma to serve the whole patient
The good news is that there are a lot of opportunities to provide real support and guidance to patients. It must begin with a blank slate and a keen understanding of the patient. Really, it needs to start by forgetting that you have a product to sell. Then you can think about the following areas:
- Quality and format of content. As brand strategies are built to engage a particular audience the quality and format of the content is critical. Increasingly, audiences are consuming videos to learn and be entertained in digital environments, so companies should be thinking of their brands in the same fashion, by integrating video front and center in the experience. While "patient testimonials" can be relevant, they really need to be central to the broader information being presented. If lifestyle choices can help a patient, create video content that helps them take steps, or partner with an independent content provider to get this content into the experience. If you choose to engage the audience with emotion to make an impact, make sure your storytelling is truly impactful and the topic warrants this approach. There is nothing worse than trying to watch an overly dramatic video about a condition that's just not that dramatic.
- Serve a number of needs. Everyone is different and they will engage with different elements of information depending on their interests and where they are in their journey. Some may be in need of lifestyle information, others may want in depth treatment specifics for your product, and others may be learning about the condition itself. Offer information and tools that can be helpful to various needs of the audience.
- Empower the patient/HCP discussion. Digital and mobile tools can be utilized now to provide discussion aids, but they need to be easy to use and ideally customized to the specific patient. Personalization is expected in today's digital world so a "one size fits all" approach isn't as compelling. If the patient provides some input, could you offer something more customized to that patient's needs? Can you "gamify" the process of providing information about your chronic condition and discussing it with your HCP?
- Launch, learn, evolve. One thing we know about the digital environment is that you need to put something out there and evolve it based on what you learn. Putting more focus in the post-launch iterations is required to really think digital. If marketers think they are done when launch day arrives, they completely miss the point. That really is the beginning and there should be significant iterations planned within the first six months of a consumer launch to hone the value proposition and expand from the interactions that are working best.
Overall, there is tremendous opportunity for pharma to leverage digital capabilities to build new and deeper relationships with patients and doctors. When looking at overall inefficiencies in the media mix, digital can provide powerful tools that foster long-term relationships with your customers. POZEN is taking an innovative approach to developing the company's digital strategy by bringing together thought leaders from disciplines beyond the healthcare industry to learn best practices for engaging with consumers in the digital space. With digital at the core, and a mindset that looks at the patient first, and sales second, pharma can be seen as a valued partner by customers who will welcome the help. If done right, you'll earn real credibility for helping the patient with all their needs and build a relationship that will affect your bottom line.

Romance on the Root River in Lanesboro
Stone Mill Hotel and Suites • Lanesboro, MN
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in the Farm or Crate Jacuzzi Suite or Garden Loft
- One Lanesboro-Produced Bottle of Wine
- One Circulatory or Swedish Massage for One Guest
- Combine Vouchers to Stay Up to Two Nights
In a town dubbed The Bed & Breakfast Capital of Minnesota (a self-applied title, but an apt one nonetheless), three traits should reign supreme: rural charm, warm hospitality, and rich history. Indeed, Lanesboro has all three in spades, and though this Escape sends you to a cozy suite in one of the town's most historic hotels—not a B&B—the trinity of bed-and-breakfast criteria remains strong.
Put on a belt—the 11-room Stone Mill Hotel & Suites is primed to charm the pants off you and a guest. With no fewer than 14 bed and breakfasts in a town of less than 800 permanent citizens, Lanesboro's hospitality quotient is palpable. And so it is at the four-floor Stone Mill Hotel & Suites, built mainly of limestone in 1885. Its gracious owners offer free tours of the inn, and you'll quickly find yourself on one as you're led to either the Farm Loft Jacuzzi Suite, the Garden Loft, or the Crate Jacuzzi Suite.
The Farm Loft and Crate suites boast luxurious, modern whirlpool tubs, plus plush queen-size beds and futons (the Garden Loft is appointed with a king). But all three are also loaded with quaint charm. Quilted blankets and hardy wood furniture, plus a throwback iron-claw fireplace in both the Farm and Garden lofts, are reminiscent of an earlier, more agrarian time.
Which brings us to Lanesboro. Named among America's Prettiest Towns by Yahoo! Travel—an honor it shares with coastal Monterey, California, and the deep-red canyons of Sedona, Arizona—this laid-back burg in the state's southeast has much to boast.
Its bounty of outdoor diversion earned it Dream Town status from Outside magazine in 2004; its art galleries and theater community rival those of towns 100 times its size; and its citizenry has maintained a fierce (though friendly!) pride as stewards of this dramatic bluff landscape.
Now—is there any doubt that Lanesboro deserves its many accolades, The Bed & Breakfast Capital of Minnesota being the least of these?
"We love Lanesboro for biking, canoeing, eating ouside at the Riverside Restaurant, visiting the local shops and enjoying the beautiful crisp air while reading on the porch of the Stone Mill Suites."-- TripAdvisor

Into the Deep: Underwater Video of Nautiluses and their Deep Sea Friends
What goes bump in the night, when it's always night? Using waterproof video cameras and lights, explore the diverse animals that live 1500 feet below sea level.
One animal, the nautilus, is one of the oldest animals on this planet but is being heavily over-fished. The underwater cameras allow us to count how many nautiluses are still left in the ocean. The cameras also record the many different animals that live with nautiluses like large sharks, glowing jellyfish, strange crabs, and even octopuses. The videos support conservation of nautiluses and their friends so they are around for centuries to come.

Where I stayed
HI Hostel
We went to see a big rock on the waterfront just on the edge of San Luis Obispo. I'm not sure why it's a land mark other than it's huge but we got to cross it off the list and carried on towards Hearst Castle. Unfortunately for us the weather was not good. It was very overcast and actually a bit foggy so we weren't seeing everything in it's best light. We hoped that it would burn off by the afternoon for our drive along the coast.
Hearst Castle is beautiful. To give you some background, the Hearst family were extremely wealthy and purchased ranch land in 1865
Although he had inherited a vast fortune, William had made a lot of money in his own right working in publishing. He was a newspaper magnate and he was actually the inspiration behind Orson Welles, Citizen Kane. He wanted the castle as a destination to play host to film stars and other people of notoriety of the time. William Hurst was married but his wife did not like the Castle or the remoteness of the estate and seperated from him shortly after it was built. She went to live in New York. They never divorced but he went onto have a famous and very long term affair with Marion Davies, a very popular actress at the time.
In order to build the castle he engaged the services of a San Fransican architect and hundreds of builders. He actually had areas for them to stay in and provided them with hospitality as they were there for several months in a very isolated area of California. William had purchased many antiques and works of art from all over the world including egyptian sculptures, italian fireplaces and rare tapestries before the castle had even commenced being designed or built. He instructed the architect to design rooms and gardens to house them appropriately. The castle took at least 15 years to build and has never quite been finished off completely but what he achieved is absolutely stunning
The Castle is now no longer owned by the family, they gifted it to the state of California in 1957. It is now a heritage site dependent on grants and public money to keep it going. They need about $10-15 million per year to run the place in order to carry out all necessary renovations and keep everything in working order. They have been renovating the roof of one of the rooms we were in, the billiard room, for 5 years as it had a lot of smoke damage due to soot and cigarettes. They are still only 1/2 way through!
There are 3 or 4 different tours that you can do and we did the one they recommend to first time visitors which was called the experience tour. This shows you one of the guest cottages, the gardens and the first floor of the house. If you want to see the rest you have to do the other tours! (One way to keep the money rolling in!!!). You are shown the guest cottage first and in all honesty everybody on our tour thought it was the main castle just to give you some idea of it's size and grandeur!
Every room we viewed was opulent and stunning. The most lovely room in my opinon was the indoor swimming pool. It is 10ft deep at all points and the tiles are all blue marble with gold leaf. The diving board is made of marble and there are marble statues all around it. Sheer luxury, extremely elegant and a room of pure taste, class and beauty. A very famous film star of the time who was a frequent visitor to the castle described this part of the castle as the most romantic.
After our tour we had a quick bite at the castle and drove on
We drove along the coast and unfortunately the mist didn't lift. It actually got worse the higher we climbed so that was a great shame as it spoilt what would have been lovely views.
We had a few stops along the way, firstly to see a point where seals congregate near Hearst Castle and then just stops purely to take in the views. We drove along the Big Sur and arrived in Monterey after 5pm. It was a lovely drive and day, Elizabeth was great to be around. That night we ate out at a local pub and had one of the worst meals we both have ever had!! Elizabeth left the next day heading on to San Francisco.
That night I also met Kelly who was my room mate. Kelly and I spent the following morning together before she too headed off.
We had a wander around the town centre and nosed about in a few shops before walking along the harbour
Kelly set off and I went to the Aquarium. A girl in the hostel had bought a 2 day pass which she didn't want to use the second day of, so I bought it off her for $12, the normal admission price is $29 so I got a good deal. The Aquarium was good but you definately don't need 2 days, 3 hours is more than adequate. They have seals, penguins, flamingos and tanks of really cool jelly fish, crabs and loads of fish. I enjoyed it and got some nice pictures of weird and wonderful things! The weather was still overcast and actually quite chilly so I another quick walk along Cannery Row and returned to the hostel.
The following morning, late, the sun came out- woo hoo!! I had a couple of things to post so I walked to the downtown area to the post office. This walk took me through a lot of the residential areas. Monterey is a really pretty little town, All the houses and gardens are well kept and most people have wind chimes and chinese lanterns hanging in their porches so it looks very pretty and gives the town a very relaxing vibe.
I later walked along the coast to a place called Lovers Point and took in the coastal views. It is very pretty and there is a coastal walk that takes you back to the main town centre. I followed the walk and had a great treat. I had seen a few seals the day before but today I saw hundreds. They were lying along the beach looking like boulders. They were all piled one on top of the other just basking in the sun. I was absolutely delighted to see them
In town I passed a shop I hadn't noticed before which had beautiful glassware and very unusual, beautifully designed jewellery. If I had been there 2 years ago I would have spent a fortune as I liked everything there. I removed myself from the shop as it was torture not being able to buy anything and then I obviously had a sadistic streak that day because I wandered into a chocolate shop. It was expensive and I couldn't buy anything there either, why was I doing this to myself?? I got a free sample though so that was cool, a nice square of chocolate caramel which was delicious!
I then wandered further along the harbour than I had been the previous day with Kelly and came across even more seals than I had seen previously at the other end. There was one huge male seal who was barking continuously, marking his territory, no doubt. It was just amazing to see them. The residents here are very lucky to be able to see them every day. I stood and watched them for ages.
I walked a little further through down town and saw some beautiful old buildings and went along the pier which was full of touristy shops and seafood restaurants. It was very busy down there and there were a few buskers along the route so it was very lively and a great atmosphere.
I returned to the hostel, stopping again to admire the seals, and then got myself all set for my next stop, Santa Cruz.

Over the past two years, we've been honored to serve more than 4.8 million active members in the My Starbucks Rewards™ program in the United States and Canada and are thankful for their continued loyalty. Since the launch of My Starbucks Rewards™, we've been carefully listening to customers and have harnessed feedback from MyStarbucksIdea, Twitter, Facebook and direct conversations to further evolve our program. I'm pleased to let you know about some program enhancements that will be coming soon to the United States and Canada, starting on Oct. 16.
Let's look at the new benefits:
Earn Free Drinks (And Now Food) Faster
Whether you're a member at the Welcome or Green level enjoying your favorite birthday drink, or a Gold level member earning your "Sweet 15," the great feeling of getting a free drink is about to get sweeter. Starting on Oct. 16, Gold members will earn a free reward every 12 transactions instead of every 15 and now you'll be able to redeem that free reward for a free drink or any food item. The new "Free Food" benefit applies to nearly all food, including muffins, scones, oatmeal, pastries, breakfast sandwiches and snacks of all sorts are all included. But so are bistro boxes, wraps and paninis. We are excited to be able to give our customers this flexibility in their rewards.
We believe that by adding food items and by providing the ability to earn free rewards faster is a benefit that is valuable to our customers, based on their feedback to us.
Rewards Loaded Digitally
One of the most popular requests on MyStarbucksIdea is to offer digital rewards instead of paper postcards. Beginning Oct. 16, members will receive an email notifying them when a free reward has been loaded directly onto their Starbucks Card. Please make sure that we have your most current email address.
After that, it's a simple process:
1. Visit any participating company-operated store
2. Tell the barista you have a free reward that you want to use (that way you get to choose when you redeem your reward)
3. Present your registered Starbucks Card (or scan your registered Card on the Starbucks Card mobile app).
And voila, your drink or food item on your ticket will be free.
Next, a few benefits that are going away:
To add these benefits, as well as to continue to invest in future innovations, we are saying goodbye to a few benefits. Beginning on Oct. 16, we will no longer offer free syrups and soy, or a free tall beverage with a whole bean purchase.
While more members will receive more value overall with the new program, we know losing certain benefits will be disappointing to some customers. The benefit of this new structure gives members the ability to earn rewards 20 percent faster and provides more choices in their rewards.
Finally, what's staying the same:
We are keeping many of the benefits our customers have appreciated – including a free birthday beverage (or a free food item), free refills for coffee and tea and a personalized Gold card for our Gold members.
Please continue to provide your feedback to us on MyStarbucksIdea.com. We look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,
Matthew G
director, Global Brand Loyalty

Several countries across the Middle East and Asia host significant numbers of migrant domestic workers, ranging from 196,000 in Singapore to approximately 1.5 million in Saudi Arabia. Increased reporting and awareness about abuse against these workers has resulted in active policy debates and in some cases change. Building upon six years of research, this report surveys the patterns of labor, immigration, and criminal justice reforms in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Lebanon, Jordan, Singapore, and Malaysia, highlighting both best practices and continuing gaps.

[Article]-Top 5 Tips To Make Social Engineering Your Career
Permanent link: [Article]-Top 5 Tips To Make Social Engineering Your Career
Chris Hadnagy
Over the last year social engineering has gotten a lot of press. From the attacks on companies like Sony, HB Gary, PBS, Citibank et al to contests like the Social Engineering CTF at Defcon, it seems that social engineering has taken the front page. And rightfully so, as it is still the easiest and often most effective vector of attack. With that in mind, many people are interested in learning what it will take to either add social engineering skills to their tool chest (either personally or as part of their red team) or even become a full-time, professional social engineer.
And that was the impetus behind Chris Hadnagy's new monthly column exclusively at The Ethical Hacker Network, how to become a professional social engineer. So to get the ball rolling, I compiled this Top 5 List to help each person make this a career path or at least add it to their present security practices. As we move through the coming months, we'll explore the history, methodologies and practical experiments in attacking the human.

Why Chocolate May Be Good for the Heart
May 23, 2017,
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is a pain medicine. Acetaminophen overdose occurs when someone accidentally or intentionally takes more than the normal or recommended amount of this medication.
Acetaminophen overdose is one of the most common poisonings worldwide. People often think that this medicine is very safe. However, it may be deadly if taken in large doses.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or 1-800-222-1222 for a local poison control center near you.
Tylenol overdose; Paracetamol overdose
Acetaminophen is found in a variety of over-the-counter and prescription pain relievers.
Tylenol is a brand name for acetaminophen. Other medicines that contain acatominophen include:
Note: This list is not all inclusive.
Common dosage forms and strengths:
*mg = milligrams
You should not take more than 4000 mg of acetaminophen a day. Taking more, especially 7000 mg or more, can lead to a severe overdose if not treated.
Note: Symptoms may not occur until 12 or more hours after the acetaminophen was swallowed.
There is no home treatment. Seek immediate medical help.
Determine the following information:
In the United States, call 1-800-222-1222 to speak with a local poison control center. This hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.This is a free and confidential service.
All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. You can call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Blood tests will be done to check how much acetaminophen is in the blood. The patient may receive:
If treatment is received within 8 hours of the overdose, there is a very good chance of recovery.
However, without rapid treatment, a very large overdose of acetaminophen can lead to liver failure and death in a few days.

So, my questions to you all, is going the HackingDojo way without any starting knowledge outside of just a+ level knowledge a good idea? Or would time be better suited doing a A+, Net+, Sec+, and then going into the more heavy security certs? I am pretty set on HackingDojo but figured I would get some input on it from people in the field or simply just know more about it than I do.
Thanks for the time

EH perception of Anonymous
I've just started following @AnonNews on twitter and reading up quite a bit about Anonymous.
Not sure what their agenda is but I do know they've perpetrated a number of very high profile DDoS attacks in the last couple of years.
At the very least, I see they're a group that can at least get things done. I don't know if they've actually achieved what they set out to achieve with their work, but I admire their "take no prisoners" attitude when it comes to getting their point across.
I was just wondering what the white hat community in general think of Anonymous.
Happy to hear your thoughts!

Homey Haven in the Berkshires
Mt. Greylock Inn • Adams, MA
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in the Thunderbolt Trail Room ($189)
- Or, a Two-Night Stay for Two in the Overlook Trail Room ($194)
- Or, a Two-Night Stay for Two in the Appalachian Trail Room ($209)
- Daily Full Breakfast for Two
- Combine Vouchers to Stay for Up to Six Nights
Whether you're a globetrotter or just on the journey of life, everyone needs an occasional break from the road. Pull off the dusty trail with this Escape to the Berkshires, where the Mt. Greylock Inn opens its doors to weary travelers and outdoor adventurers alike.
The mighty Appalachian Trail winds through the Berkshires of western Massachusetts, where this historic inn boasts lovely views of Mount Greylock. Kick off your boots, hang your hat, and relax in one of the individually decorated rooms. Each morning, a hearty hot breakfast offers a delicious alternative to road-trip fare and microwaveable meals.
No matter which season you visit, the Berkshires offers plenty of year-round fun. Winter brings a blanket of soft snow at nearby Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort. Its 45 trails and three terrain parks are served by nine lifts, not to mention powerful snow guns that give Jiminy Peak one of the longest ski seasons in Massachusetts.
In the warmer months, outdoor enthusiasts mountain bike and hike along the local section of the Appalachian Trail and the paths up Mount Greylock. Those with an interest in aesthetics can stop off at the Norman Rockwell Museum, the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Arts, or the Clark Art Institute.
Whoever said life is about the journey, not the destination, clearly hasn't been to the Berkshires. When you need a rest from the long haul, consider Mt. Greylock Inn your homey haven.
"The inn was wonderful, very clean, and comfortable. The back porch was delightful for a relaxing evening after a day of hiking. I would definitely go back."-- TripAdvisor

DxOMark review for the Sony Alpha 700Tuesday March 10 2009 Sensor Review
The Sony Alpha 700 with its new version 4.0 firmware scored a 66.3 on the DxOMark Sensor scale, putting it in 17th place on the dxomark.com overall ranking, and in 5th place for APS-C cameras. Given its launch date (Sept. 2007), this is a pretty good result.
When we first analyzed the Sony A700, our preliminary tests showed that it made use of green-channel RAW NR (Noise Reduction). To ensure fair ranking on dxomark.com, we only score cameras that do not exhibit any sort of spatial signal filtering, taking care to test every camera we report on. With the latest A700 firmware version (rev.4) that disables noise reduction on the green channel, it is then possible to publish all its measurement results and DxOMark ranking.
Key sensor characteristics
Sony acquired Konica Minolta's DSLR division following the launch of Konica Minolta's last high-end DSLR, the Maxxum 7D. Two years later, Sony came forward with the first high-end DSLR in its product line, the Sony Alpha 700. For this first "expert amateur" model, Sony replaced the old Alpha 100 model sensor for a new APS-C sensor with a resolution of 12.2 Mpix. For some time, the A700 made use of RAW noise reduction until the last delivered firmware, version 4.0, switched it off.
Key performance factors
With a Color Depth score of 22.3, Dynamic Range of 11.9 and Lowlight ISO of 581, the Sony Alpha 700 is in a good position among APS-C format leaders.
Noise reduction comparison: firmware version 1.0 vs firmware version 4.0
As published in the dxomark.com Q&A section, we test to ensure that our website provides data only on camera sensors which do not apply RAW spatial signal filtering. With respect to the Sony A700, we waited until the most recent release of its firmware (version 4.0) before subjecting it to our regular battery of RAW sensor tests.
Figure 1 below displays the results of DxO Labs' signal filtering tests for the Sony alpha 700 (firmware version 1.0) , which showed a noise filtering reduction on the green channel. This noise filtering was not applied from ISO 100 to ISO 800, but became particularly strong in the dark from ISO 1600 to ISO 6400. Figure 2 shows DxO Labs' signal filtering test results for the A700 using firmware version 4.0.
For further information on in-camera RAW signal processing, see the "Half-cooked RAW" insight.

Shooting pictures in RAW gives DSLR users the opportunity to fine-tune their settings, by potentially controlling every step of the RAW conversion. Users often assume that RAW images are directly output from the sensor without any additional processing, but is this really the case? What kind of processing can be applied and what kind of influence does it have on the final image?

Tyler DeWitt:
Hey science teachers — make it fun
High school science teacher Tyler DeWitt was ecstatic about his new lesson plan on bacteria (how cool!) — and devastated when his students hated it. The problem was the textbook: it was impossible to understand. He delivers a rousing call for science teachers to ditch the jargon and extreme precision, and instead make science sing through stories and demonstrations.

Penetration Testing Areas & Popularity - Starting Out
I'm an engineer with a growing interest in security related computer topics. I'm not scared to read a ton, and I know that's required to learn anything in this field. I've also looked over awesome threads in your forum such as skills required for pen testers etc, which gives a nice high level overview for the basics that are required. In other words, I have looked around a lot for this question I'm asking, please do your best not to tell me to search I promise I have.
After reading several books such as (sorry to list them all off)
- "Backtrack 4, Assuring Security by Pen Testing"
- "Grey Hat Hacking"
- "Metasploit - The Pen Testers Guide"
- "Google Hacking for Pen Testers"
- "The Basics of Hacking and Penetration Testing"
- "The Web Application Hackers Handbook"
- "Backtrack 5 - Wireless Penetration Testing"
Currently Reading "TCP/IP Illustrated"
I feel as though I have a solid fundamental grasp of how different areas of security function, and unfortunately for me, how wide this area is for learning. I really feel like I want to knuckle down and learn more topics in depth (i.e. like learning about TCP/IP from the current book I'm reading) but I don't know what area's in pen testing are important / more important than others; or if it's purely a preference thing. It seems you can go into forensics, network testing, wireless testing, web application testing, exploit writing etc.
Give your experiences - Do you feel there is a particular field is most used, or perhaps a topic that is most prevalent throughout? What should a beginner learn first? I understand the "soft" areas of security are important such as linux / windows / network protocols, but I'm curious if there is actually a security field that should be focused on?
If you had to recommend a certificate for someone starting out, what would you recommend?
I know it's hard to answer these questions, and sorry if there isn't a right answer, but any feedback you could give me on the topic would be greatly appreciated. If it does all come down to personal preference I can accept that, but at least I know I won't regret whatever I choose. I can also appreciate that it's hard to assign a right answer without knowing motivation and background, but for me really it comes down to really enjoying learning about security, fascinating how people can bypass / make things do unintended things and gaining access to systems.
Thanks so much if you've read this far. I look forward to participating in the community


text: (Updated May 2, 2011) The ACE Master the Manual is a study guide designed to accompany the ACE (Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor, HC, AHFS) Manual. The manual typically comes with a study bundle – best value – although it can be sold separately if you don't already have one. If you are using the ACE's Essentials of Exercise Science for Fitness Professionals, then your 'master the manual' study guide is at the end of each chapter. We've talked about when to use the Master the Manual material in previous blog posts. But today we are going to talk just a little more about what the Master the Manual is and what it is trying to achieve. For each chapter in your manual there is a corresponding Master the Manual chapter. Each Master the Manual chapter is divided into the following sections: Expand Your Knowledge Multiple – choice Questions Show What You Know Practice What You Know The goal of your Master the Manual study guide is to help you review the material you just read about in your manual and to help you focus in on the important concepts. Just like some people learn better visually/auditory/kinesthetically, the Master the Manual tries to reach those candidates who learn best from multiple choice/fill in the blank/listing questions. I've talked before about 'you know the material when you can explain it', and the Show What You Know (and some Expand Your Knowledge) really helps to emphasize this in a way that multiple choice questions can't. However…this variety of question styles is also where some people get a little worried about how the questions in Master the Manual relate to questions on the certification exam. Remember that the certification exam is multiple choice for all questions. All those explanation, listing, fill in the blank questions in the Master the Manual are there to help you review. You will not see that same style of question on the certification exam. You may see the same information covered in both places, but the certification exam is strictly multiple choice. Another concern I hear from candidates is regarding the depth of the questions asked in the Master the Manual books. Keep in mind that Master the Manual is review, not testing. A question like - "What are three ways that a personal trainer can attend to the environment where he or she meets with a prospective or current client?" - is designed to help you think about attending behavior, and then how it can be applied. This same concept may show up on the certification exam, but not in this same format. Questions? Contact an ACE Education Consultant at 1-888-825-3636 x782

by Anonymous May 30, 2003
The rainbow brite is a sexual act that involves a man consuming between 1/2 and 1 bags of skittles, almost as an act of foreplay. After eating the skittles, the man spits into his (female) partner's vagina and/or onto his penis. The two then make sweet love for 3-19 minutes. Just as the man is about to climax, however, he removes his now multicolored penis from his partner's vagina and puts it in her mouth. The multicolored and sweet tasting penis remains in the girls mouth as the man climaxes and implores his partner to "TASTE THE RAINBOW" at the top of his lungs.

by Burningfeetman September 10, 2008
I notice that the tags on Amazon feature a new addition to the English language -- the new verb "to spore", as in "prepare to be spored". There it appears to mean "to have your reputation shredded by customers infuriated at your shitty treatment of them". Personally I feel it also needs to have a transitive sense, viz. "to cheat your customers by treating them as pieces of shit who don't deserve to get anything for their money".

Nicki is a disrespectful person. She's so willing to put down a true talent which helped pave the way for an average talent that is hyped and overly sexual to be successful in a business that enjoys portraying black women as whores and not intelligent individuals that have meaningful contributions to share with society. Despite the ugliness she tries to put on a living prodigy (i.e. Maria), she is illustrating to the world that she was raised in the streets (e.g., gutter) without a really family, schooling and community. What heats me up the most, she thinks portraying her shameful money is something young black girls should aspire to achieve instead of gaining their education and independence and becoming true American citizens that can make a meaningful difference in our country.

If you listen closely to the winds that whisper through the maple trees that dot the banks of Bringman's Cove on the Choptank River, you'll be privy to a secret: With water-front views and stately 18th-century manses, Maryland's Eastern Shore is an idyllic Mid-Atlantic paradise—and an Escape to the Combsberry Inn is your key to unlocking all that this East Coast Eden has to offer.
"This 1730 brick manor house, together with the carriage house and the Oxford cottage, is set amid magnolias and willows on the banks of Island Creek, a few minutes' drive from Oxford," says Fodor's review of Combsberry Inn. "Inside are five arched fireplaces, floral chintz fabrics, and polished wood floors. All the rooms and suites of this luxurious B&B have water views and are furnished with English manor-style antiques, including four-poster and canopy beds."
Outside your window, take in breathtaking natural sights teeming with wildlife––on this waterfront property, you're apt to spy deer grazing on the front lawn, eagles flying overhead, or osprey diving for fish in the spring. Inside, you're bound to spot a few wagging tails—the pet-friendly inn also offers hospitality to dogs.
Breakfast comes delivered to your room each morning prepared in a basket by the innkeeper and gourmet chef—think: hot muffins, yogurt, fresh fruit, juice, and unlimited coffee, hot chocolate, and tea.
Arrive after April 15, and kayaks and canoes are available to usher you over 35 acres of secluded waterfront, once a resting place for Robert E. Lee and his troops.
For dinner, take a leisurely bike ride into Oxford for a fresh-caught crab-cake dinner at Schooner's Landing complete with live music and drinks at the Tiki Bar––or catch your own after April 15 with on-site crab pots.
The secret's out—an Escape to Combsberry Inn is to taste a little slice of heaven.
"The grounds are spectacular. In the main house, the rooms are large and comfortable. The best part is having breakfast in the huge kitchen that has windows that span the back of the house and overlook the water."-- TripAdvisor

[Article]-Course Review: Penetration Testing Professional v2 by eLearnSecurity
As always, let us know what you think of the review, the course, your experiences... whatever you think might be of value to the audience. If you have any questions that haven't been answered, both Andrew, the author of the review, and Armando of eLS are EH-Netters and would be happy to help.
Permanent link: [Article]-Course Review: Penetration Testing Professional v2 by eLearnSecurity
Review by Andrew Johnson CISSP, GPEN, eCPPT, OSWP, CCNA:S, MCSE:S, et al
It's rare for an organization to quickly rise to prominence through the release of a new training course, but that's exactly what eLearnSecurity did with the first release of their Penetration Testing Professional course back in 2010. This upstart company is based in Pisa, Italy with a location in the USA in Colorado as well, but the beauty is that their training is entirely online, so clearly travel is not required. This review covers the second release of Penetration Testing Professional (affectionately known as PTP2), which most notably contains expanded content and new lab environments.
The course is delivered through a web-based Flash interface. The presentation will be familiar to anyone who has experience with the first iteration of the course, but at the same time the overall feel is cleaner and more polished. A colleague was recently considering web app training, and he was torn between a book and this course. He stated something along the lines of, "My brain is telling me to be economical and just get a book, but my eyes are telling me to go with eLearnSecurity!" That statement sums up the visual experience perfectly.
Continue reading to see if they managed to carry that momentum into the rest of the new version of this course.

Away from It All in Ojai
Hummingbird Inn • Ojai, CA
Escape Kit
- A Three-Night Stay for Two in a Standard King or Two-Queen Room
- Bottle of Wine Upon Arrival
- Daily Continental Breakfast
The Destination
Ojai played the role of Shangri-La—a sort of earthly paradise—in Frank Capra's 1937 film Lost Horizon. And for good reason. This idyllic valley just 80 miles from Los Angeles is surrounded by the unspoiled mountain landscapes of the Los Padres National Forest, while the beaches of Ventura lie 15 minutes west and the red-roof cityscape of Santa Barbara, often called the American Riviera, beckons day-trippers just 25 miles north. It's all right here in Ojai.
The Digs
The Hummingbird Inn makes a fine case for Shangri-La, itself, with its namesake hummingbirds flitting about the grounds' manicured gardens, sun deck, and pool area. Each of the 31 rooms is adorned with stylish yet homey décor, some with well-preserved hardwood floors and elegant white plantation-style window shutters, and all with crisp white linens, a flat-screen TV, and plenty of sunlight. Breakfast each morning includes coffee and tea, plus fruit, bagels, and waffles. There's even a juicer for guests to make fresh-squeezed OJ. After you've explored the peaks and valleys of the surrounding Topatopa Mountains, the Spanish-style arcade downtown, and the beaches to the west, inquire at the front desk about a massage, which can be performed in the privacy of your guest room.
"Nice hardwood floors, a great bed, flat-screen TV, and a beautiful sink. It's walkable to town and a great farmers' market, and the complimentary breakfast was one of the best I've had in ages. A cute, affordable, little boutique-y oasis in Ojai."-- TripAdvisor

The manager's wife was a nursing sister and once a week she would inspect the houses on the mission to make sure that our homes were clean and tidy, which they were. She wanted to know how mum's floors were so white seeing that we had no electricity to use an electric floor scrubber. That's when mum showed her a piece of sandstone, by which she was very surprised!

Although it is devastating to have to lose both Jessica Brown Findlay and Dan Stevens as Sybil and Matthew, do not blame the writers or producers as it is not their fault. The actors chose themselves to leave after their contracts were up. If they had to leave, the only logical escape would be death. They had built such strong romances that it would not make sense for them to just leave. It was the actors' choice.
Posted at 12:10 PM on June 24, 2013
I was very sad to see Matthew killed off. I think they should have left it open ended just in case Dan Stevens changes his mind and wants to come back. Shades of Dallas – are we ready for another shower scene? So glad to see Julian Ovenden joining the cast – He played the son in the series "Foyle's War." Maybe Lady Mary will fall for him.

I agree with the comment of why not replacing Matthew. There was no need to be so saddistic and kill him too. There was already plenty of drama. Matthew was pretty much the main character. The entire story has been dancing around him, and for what? To get rid of him? I cannot imagine how the show will be appealing to viewers who, like me, were following the story on Matthew saving Downton Abbey as well as Mary from self destruction. Now the hero is dead. Usually the hero goes on until the end. Doesn't he? It was a great 3 Seasons. I really like all the actors, but if you are thinking of Hugh Bonneville or Dame Maggie Smith taking off, too, you might as well call off the show.

I was sure Mathew & his brother in law were going to do great things for Downton Abby & the story line could have continued on from there, pulling the Abby out of the red. I can't see how this series is going to hold the viewers interest after taking out one of the main principles of the story. One only has to read the comments about the fate of Mathew to see where this is going, I feel it is a great error on the part of the producers. To me I feel as if the story has gone flat.

Posted at 9:14 AM on May 13, 2013
After having to deal with losing our own son very recently and getting involved with Dowton Abbey…losing Sybil and the constant reminder of her death, then to lose Matthew. We were devastated to have been taken down that road again. Sometimes we just want an escape from our own lives not to be thrown in an emotional rollercoaster again. Why couldn't he have just been replaced? We could have all "dealt" with that much better!
Posted at 12:51 PM on May 1, 2013
Although it will be odd to say the least without Matthew, Downton Abbey has got it going on. I'll be willing to be that all those you've said, 'that's just to much for me', will be right back in front of the TV when season 4 starts. I think it will come back even stronger. A little change will keep us on our toes. I'm a true Downtown Abbey fan and I'll be watching Season 4 just like all the others. It's AWESOME!

Not 1 but 2 babys born great. BUT then you killed off TWO most beloved cast members WHY?
And both family members? Your realy got your work cut out for you NOW because the rest of the family members are BORING with out them. All you did was RUSH through some great storys that you could of done a lot with. But instead you killed off 2 great cast members an left the two great partners with babys an sadness and thats not great writting at all. SO you all need to pull a great big story line out or alot of people will just find it sad an boring. WHY KILL OFF THE CAST FAMILY MEMBERS FIRST? and so soon into the show.

I HATE that Matthew has to die…..and now that he is dead, why cant the writers give him a better tomb stone wordings…..why not " beloved husband to Lady Mary Crawley and beloved father to son ,,,,,,,?? and "son of R../I ….Crawley " Some sweet poetry engraved on his stone would be very nice and appropriate too, seeing the love shared with his wife.. The tomb stone wordings are too sterile , as if he had only lived a nondescript life. Or maybe the writer cant be bother anymore with him now that he had refused to do what JF wanted.
I often found JF writings lack of depth on Lady Mary and Matthew. It was only due to the marvelous acting of MD and DS that gave us, the viewers , the memorable story of Lady Mary and Matthew Crawley.

I am so dissappointed at Matthews sudden death..it was just heartbreaking …and he was also my favorite character…the perfect hubby for Mary and so happy to be a father…I guess this does happen in real lfe…happened to a neighbor whose hubby was driving home from a cmas office partyand wasn't drunk but was killed in an auto accident also…he also left a wife and newborn…but itis so sad!
Paul Lambert
Posted at 9:24 PM on March 27, 2013
Matthew's death was a foregone conclusion as the character had to, due to forced circumstances,
had to make an exit (stage left).
You will find the wording on the stone pales into insignificance when Season Four commences
after an unseen six months mourning period for the Crawleys.
We've got the 'little one', so pivitol to Mary and Matthew's relationship (a little insight into what many of today's IVF couples endure), hence, the message, with death (Sybil/Matthew) there is new life (babes Sybil/George).
Perhaps a main consideration of the writer(s) could be, not to turn what is an extraordinary period
piece into a mundane (yawn) soap.

text: While studying for your ACE exam, you learned that maintaining a normal range of motion via regular stretching is an important part of any well-rounded fitness program. But the truth is, many clients rush through the flexibility portion of their workouts — if they include it at all. Who wants to spend time stretching when you can be doing Zumba®, high-intensity interval training or an ab-blaster workout— right? It's easy to promote cardiovascular and strength training as exciting, high-energy ways to boost fitness and well-being, but stretching is often viewed as … boring. As an aspiring or new trainer, what can you do to get clients interested enough in flexibility training to make it a habit? Set Realistic Expectations Clients lose interest in training when they don't experience the benefits they're expecting, so make sure you communicate current information on what stretching can and can't accomplish. For example, we used to advocate regular stretching for injury prevention and to help minimize delayed-onset muscle soreness, but current scientific evidence doesn't support those claims. In fact, increasing flexibility beyond a normal range has been shown to increase risk of injury. Promoting flexibility training to maintain or restore a normal range of motion is a more accurate message. Explain to clients that a normal range of motion is important for optimal sports performance, activities of daily living and overall well-being. It's also a good way to relax after a hard workout or a long day. Since time is an issue for many people, reassure your clients that a total-body stretching routine doesn't have to take more than about 10 minutes. When they consistently perform stretching exercises at least 2-3 times a week, they can expect to notice improvement in about 3-4 weeks. Link Flexibility Benefits to Goals When clients understand how specific training components relate to their short-term or long-term goals, they're more likely to buy in. Explain that flexibility naturally begins to decline in both men and women in young adulthood, and without flexibility training, they'll experience a decrease in function and mobility, and an increased risk of falling. If sports training is your client's focus, illustrate how performance declines with decreased joint mobility and improves with improved flexibility. A golfer, for example, needs a good range of motion in all joints involved in the swing. For those interested in general fitness and weight management, explain how maintaining a normal range of motion helps them get the most out of cardio workouts; how effective strength training requires movement through a complete range of motion; and how stretching helps reduce muscle tension and even mental stress. Boost the Fun Factor Whether it's cardio, strength, flexibility or sports training, enjoyment is a key element of sustainability. No matter how "good for you" something is, people have a hard time sticking with it unless there's an element of fun. Help your clients find ways to make flexibility training more pleasant, whether it's dynamic movements as part of a warm-up, static stretches after a cool-down, or anything in between: Stretch with a workout partner to help keep each other accountable for consistent stretching and good form. Create a flexibility playlist with slower-paced or relaxing music, meditations or affirmations. Choreograph a stretching routine, synching it with favorite tunes. Customize and track your progress with a smartphone-based flexibility routine. Sign up for a yoga or Pilates class with a friend, or follow a stretching DVD together at home or work. Mix up your flexibility routine with combinations of different dynamic, static and PNF stretches. Stretch outdoors whenever possible. Chart Progress Nothing's more fun or motivating than seeing progress. Before your client implements a new stretching program, establish a baseline by assessing current flexibility, using tests such as those described in the ACE Personal Trainer Manual (4th edition). Evaluating progress periodically, such as every 4-12 weeks, helps provide specific feedback for the client and gives you the information you need to make adjustments to the training plan. Stay Informed There's been a great deal of controversy and confusion about flexibility training over the past several years. Pre-exercise static stretching, for example, has been discouraged due to evidence of a negative effect on maximal muscle performance.
