i am a great lover of photography...any suggestions for a startup camera to try at my skills
I think you need to decide what you want to do with the camera as there are so many options these days e.g. Wildlife - holiday snaps - landscapes - peopleAlso are you happy to carry around a large bag or do you want to travel light. Price is also a consideration; but what ever style of camera you decide on there can be quite a few choices.
Top digital cameras-http://digital-cameras.techcrunch.com/ It all depends how much money can you spend on a camera.
You can always go with the camera that you may already have on a cell phone, smart phone, tablet, etc. to work on photography composition "rules" such as the rule of thirds. When that feels limiting to you, you can move to a point and shoot or DSLR from Nikon or Canon, which are the two most popular brands. The Rebel brands from Canon are good entry level DSLRs.
Hi I'm also a fan of photography. I've always wanted to try it but too busy to get into thet hobby or profession. Anyway, I agree with some suggestions here like it depends on what you prefer as a subject for your photo and also another factor would be how much can you spend on a professional camera. But I dont believe that the more expensive the camera the better your photos will be. A very big factor that makes great photos is the way the photographer handles his camera and his ability to capture the essence of the subject.
It's not about an "expensive camera" but about managing settings and gaining an experience.I recommend to any photo-passionate to get a DSLR.A cheap one (recommended Nikon or Canon), but the feeling it's way different than small cameras and bridges.
What you do with the camera it's not so important.It's important to just do pictures, not to just buy it and forget about if in the closet.Use it every day.
i think Nikon D3X is good enough for photography !
To all members: Please don't use our threads to list camera brands/models. Lists become repetitive and generally neither add to or create discussion. If you recommend a certain camera, please take the time to tell us what you like about it.
I would start by determining what field of photography you plan to do at the beginning and the planned purchase of the equipment. Other equipment will be needed when shooting models in the studio, and another to take pictures of landscapes.
If you want a true education, try out film. Look up information about how it works and maybe try your hand at developing your own film. Not having instant feedback like with a digital forces you to think about what you are doing. You will probably make many mistakes, but learn from it. Don't skip over completely understanding what an f-stop (and what it does to the depth of field) and exposure is. But also shoot digital, and learn photoshop.Or just have fun with your camera phone.
Photography is all about light.
First of all don't have too big expectations about photo's quality. Just have fun and sooner or later you will make some great shots. I woul recommend you canon or nikon digitals cameras - really good companies.
Photography is all about your skill, creativity and how to can make someone more beautiful in a photograph. Camera is the 2nd priority of photography. Try to capture those moment which will not be coming again.
Firstly you have to assure which types of photography you like. What is budget of you. In which camera have experience also feel comfort for usage. Originally for hobby and passion or profession. Its will help to choose one.
take a look at dpreview.com - hugely helpful!
I love photography also. I got a polaroid digital camera with 14mp. Is this enough for a beginner?
I am also a fan of Photography. i think holidays snaps capturing is best for you to start photography. You can use any good digital camera with high megapixel feature.
As a new in photographic field you can first try your cell phone camera try to capture image then see whether that was perfect or not and when you think you are a perfect you can buy the professional camera according to your choice.
My advice is that it is less about the camera but more about the lens. You want a DSLR that you can grow into so don't buy the cheapest low tier DSLR camera. Buy a mid-range DSLR. Spend the rest of the money on SOLID lenses. I recommend the nifty fifty (50mm f1.8 lens) to start.
I recommend the nifty fifty (50mm f1.8 lens) to start.
Different people have different thoughts - I do not own a prime lens and do not know if I would ever buy one. I prefer zoom lenses as you have more flexability; I suppose the choice depends on what you intend to photograph.
I would suggest to buy some decent 2nd hand good brand DSLR cameras like Nikon or Canon to try out. You could always resell them later. Don't spend a lot of money in camera first until you are sure that this is what you would like to do as a profession.

This is followed by a specific unit preceptorship of several weeks' duration, which is driven by the orientee's progress. Preceptorship is based on targeted clinical experiences, meeting predetermined objectives, as well as those identified by the orientee. There are regular evaluation meetings with the Education Specialist, Nurse Educator/Preceptor and Unit Manager. Staff members are required to perform their job skills at a safe, competent level before functioning independently.

The Solar Decathlon Europe is not until 2014, but two European teams are competing stateside this year representing the Czech Republic and Austria.
Designed by students at the Czech Technical University, Air House targets not the typical young couples that constitute most first time homebuyers, but a demographic familiar to the students, their parents—the 50+ empty nesters. The team cites data that states that senior housing represents 20% of Czech households and that number is growing. Conceptualized as weekend country house, it transitions to a permanent residence as the owners retire.
Air House's layout is straightforward: an independent L-shaped structure shrouded in a wood canopy and façade. The team calls it a "house within a house", with the main living space is located long leg of the L. Unlike many of the entries, the Czech team's interior is a single loft-like space, with a sliding door that opens directly onto the outdoor living room. Built-ins on the south side are beautiful detailed in unfinished birch, however the wall is chock-full of insulation. The short leg houses the bathroom and equipment for the radiant chilled ceiling system, rooftop solar panels, and the graywater collection system (to serve the house's constructed wetlands).
LISI from Team Austria brings together students from Vienna University of Technology, St. Poelten University of Applied Sciences, Salzberg University of Applied Sciences, and the Austrian Institute of Technology. The house, not unlike SCI-Arc/Caltech's DALE, surprisingly blurs the line between inside and outside. Large retractable sliding glass doors on the north and south sides disappear into the core areas leaving the living open to the elements, more like a covered courtyard than an interior. Lightweight curtains wrap the house for privacy and extra shade when low sun angles are at their most intense.
One student confessed that the glass doors, by the manufacturer Josko, were one of the most expensive parts of the construction. But considering how integral they are to the project, they seem worth it. They also point to two differences between the two European projects and some of the North American entries. First, the Czech and Austrian teams maximized single living areas and minimized auxiliary rooms, which streamlines passive heating and natural ventilation. (There's a tiny, cave-like bedroom in LISI.) Second, heating, not cooling, is a larger pressing concern for energy use. Info graphics produced by the Austria team put numbers to this fact. Heating demands in Vienna are 9.7 kWh/m2 per year and cooling is 5.6 kWh/m2 per year. In Irvine, ostensibly a nicer climate year-round, the loads are actually higher due to cooling requirements; heating is 2.7 kWh/m2 per year and cooling is 10.6 kWh/m2 per year.
Or as Team Austria's Philipp Klebert, a mechanical engineering student at Vienna UT, puts it: "In Austria, when we design passive houses for comfort, it is more about the heating. For most of us, this was our first time in Irvine and in the U.S.. We had to get used to the weather.">

He stayed strong between the pipes on Saturday, putting together one of his better performances of the season.

By Yvonne Villarreal Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — Looks like there's no escaping the dome just yet. CBS has renewed "Under the Dome" for a second season.
That the network would want to squeeze more out of the adaptation of Stephen King's best-seller, about a town trapped under a mysterious orb, is hardly surprising.
It was the network's most-watched summer premiere since 2000, giving CBS incentive to take advantage of the open-ended option for the series.
"We're excited to tell more stories about the mystery of the dome and the secrets in Chester's Mill, and are thrilled to have the master storyteller himself, Stephen King, tell the first one of next season," CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler said.
"Under the Dome" is averaging about 13.8 million viewers, according to Nielsen numbers.
King is slated to write the premiere episode of the second season. The drama will return next summer with 13 episodes.

Parents who lick kids' pacifiers stop allergies
(NEWSER) – If your child's pacifier falls on the floor, a new study suggests you're doing the kid a disservice by rinsing it off in the sink. Instead, you might just want to pop it in your own mouth before giving it back to Junior. Parents who did that saw their kids have a significantly lower risk of allergy-related conditions including eczema and asthma, according to the Swedish study, which was published in this week's Pediatrics.

What's goin' on man haven't posted in a while, kinda gave up after v2.2. Anyway, just downloaded your beta #88 release, and needless to say it's still having problems on the Windows end when the "user" goes to connect. I've tested with (2) XP machines, and Vista to no avail.
Everything works correctly on the BT end, but the Windows Machines "time out". It says "successfully connected", but never displays the "Critical Update" page. Also http://10.0.0.1 doesn't load either.
Any Ideas? This is frustrating, and since It's been so long and still won't work I'm even more determined. Keep up the amazing work.

Billy Joel's Mom Dies At 92
Listen to Billy Joel Radio on iHeartRadio
Billy Joel has lost his mom. Newsday says family and friends were with Rosalind Nyman Joel when she passed away Sunday at a hospice facility on Long Island, New York, at the age of 92.
The arts were always important to Rosalind, who encouraged her son's love of music. Billy's song "Rosalinda's Eyes," from his album 52nd Street, was a tribute to his mother.
In 1986 the rocker established the Rosalind Joel Scholarship for the Performing Arts for City College of New York students in honor of his parents' first meeting.
Rosalind met Howard Joel while working on a student musical at the college in 1942. The Joel family is asking those wanting to remember Rosalind to make a donation to The Little Shelter in Huntington, New York.

1941. Greece. For 12-year-old Petros, World War II feels far away. But when the Germans invade Greece, the war is suddenly impossibly close. Overnight, neighbors become enemies. People begin to keep secrets (Petros's family most of all). And for the first time, Petros has the chance to prove himself to his older brother, Zola. Soon what were once just boys' games become matters of life and death as Petros and Zola each wonder if, like their Resistance fighter cousin, they too can make a difference. Based on the true story of Akila Couloumbis's wartime boyhood, Newbery Honor winner Audrey Couloumbis, writing with her husband Akila, explores what it was like coming of age in Nazi occupied Greece, and tells a story of family, friendship, and unlikely heroes.

Nia C3 Nehemiah's have "Padlock" support that can do AES encryption in
three processor cycles. When properly enabled, it can do AES-256 IPSEC
with ALMOST NO REDUCTION IN TRANSFER SPEEDS! See this page for some

Wait what?
coming from a 17 year old male full of raging hormones, at his prime you're saying you don't want moar bewbs???
wtf did i just quote lol
Personally, I believe that too much perversity really damages an anime if it's forced in there.
High School of The Dead has too much of it at the wrong times.
Everyone's different.
I'm different.

but when the scenes done are just for the scenes, then we have hentai imo

Nozoki Ana (A Peephole) is getting an anime but the TV version may just be blank video with sound based upon the manga! Fine with me...
there was one part in the manga
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
where I just raged at what happened to the main character, where whats her face was cheating on him, he found out about it and she still wanted to be with him...my reaction: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ so I doubt I will be able to ever enjoy the anime adaptation after reading that part
Happens in real life, human relationships are complicated. Feelings are not simple. Makes it real for me. Some people just can't be with just one person, isn't in their nature. A really good friend met a girl in a bar who was seeing someone else at the time. When they were living together she was always coming onto me, literally every time he wasn't in the room. So of course she ended up being with other guys. Cheating? Not sure it was cheating to her, it was just how she was... She loved him and wanted to be with him but wanted to jump other guys as well. But I digress... This is the anime forum, not general!
This shows that even a manga like Nozoki Ana has a plot and that you can even care about its main character like that. It has more than just A Peephole for a plot.
To be honest, I cant help but laugh at anime sex scenes haha
I don't mind sex scenes at all, but if it's not suited to the anime.. well.. "Ew"
Forever offline ------- *Giggle*
sometimes sex enchances the feel of the anime or the storyline or whatnot. so yes.
but i don't enjoy just random sex in the middle the some anime.
i'm semi-active. check my page every week or so.
It deppends on the anime, so a case by case approach is the way I judge this.
Long as it's tastefully done I don't see why not.
ღ - https://youtu.be/GSyXSeAHL_k - ღ
why not? if an occasional scene or two really turns you off from a show(or maybe even a few more), i dont think you should be watching anime at all, because you can only expect more eventually lol
OVA maybe
Not a fan of Yaoi but sex scenes in general are fine as long as they do not detract from the story as a whole or were inserted simply to have a sex scene.
If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer.
I think 'sex scenes in anime are a major part of the japanese culture since the 90's,they should definately be included.Although,since most of these new shows are available to kids ,they should be regulated,I have seen some nudity ,(yet it's not actually x-rated) in The Brave 10,If you wanna see xrated anime,then it should be stricly Hentai.We wanna keep a this culture alive to all ages so we have to do our part!
Mrs Gintoki SAKATA.......
For me, it depends. Some anime suit it, some don't. It really depends on the genre and style of the story. It's fine in a mature show, as long as it's done tastefully. I'm not a fan of male/male or male/female sex scenes, but as long as they aren't explicit (like in a hentai) they certainly can add depth to a romance and realism to the show.
but in the manga, it is censored.
I`m leaving Crunchyroll today.

Light Heavyweight bout!!
Light Heavyweight bout!!
Im not exited about it. Well I wouldn't cancel plans to watch it put it that way but cheers for the heads up.
Retired 2k and out.
As soon as I see the name Rashad Evans on a fight card I lose interest. There was time when he was a fairly good fighter to watch. Now all he does is feint and play patty cake for three rounds.
He won't be able to play patty cake with sonnen. If anything (I hope) sonnen takes him down and plays patty cake with Evans head
Twitter @ricbrad
Can honestly say this fight has never crossed my mind before as a potential fight.
Give me Evans come fight time.

Chael by walking through palms and faints before double legging his way to victory followed by a cool promo.
As for Rashad is it just me or since Machida soarked him has he got more and more boring?

"To me the greatest thing is to live beauty in our daily life and to crowd every moment with things of beauty. It is then, and then only that the art of the people as a whole is endowed with it's richest significance. For it's products are those made by great a many craftsmen for the mass of the people, and the moment this art declines the life of the nation is removed far away from beauty. So long as beauty abides in only in a few articles created by a few geniuses, the kingdom of beauty is nowhere near realization." - Bernard Leach

Hello everyone!
Hi there! I am new to the forums. I wanted to join to connect with other mums, and also as a first time mum I do have many questions. I have a beautiful daughter who just turned 5 months, and I can't believe it's already been 5 wonderful months! I was very lucky and had a great natural hospital birth with a midwife. My husband and I would like to have another baby, but we want to wait a while before TTC.

Getting It Right on Fuel Efficiency
This post also appears in the National Journal Energy & Environment Experts blog in response to the question: What should drive fuel efficiency?
At a moment when it appears to many that our government can't do anything right, the current approach to regulating vehicle fuel economy and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is a bright spot.
After decades of failing to tighten corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards, and several years when California and other states began to take the matter of setting vehicle GHG standards into their own hands, the federal government finally got its act together. In 2007 Congress enacted the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, tightening CAFE. In 2010, NHTSA and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) jointly set GHG and CAFE standards, and California agreed to conform its rules to the federal ones. NHTSA and EPA are hard at work at a second round of standards for light duty vehicles, as well as the first-ever set of similar rules for medium and heavy duty trucks.
We now have the Congress, federal and state regulators, industry and public interest groups aligned on a policy framework that is meeting important national goals of reducing oil dependence and GHG emissions, providing regulatory consistency and certainty to the industry, and creating a climate favorable to investment and innovation.
The auto industry is responding successfully. The plug-in hybrid electric Chevy Volt won the 2011 Motor Trend Car of the Year, 2011 Green Car of the Year, and 2011 North American Car of the Year. It's also selling well. But PHEVs are just part of the story. The Chevy Cruze and Hyundai Elantra are among the nine vehicles in the U.S. marketplace that get more than 40 miles per gallon. They were also among the 10 top-selling vehicles last month. Higher sales of fuel-efficient vehicles across the board contributed to strong sales and combined profits of nearly $5.9 billion for the three U.S. automakers in the first quarter of this year.
Higher gasoline prices are heightening consumer interest in these vehicles. But we cannot rely on oil prices alone to drive us to the next generation of vehicles. Oil prices are too volatile to motivate the sustained business investment we need. And the price we pay at the pump doesn't reflect the true cost of oil to our country. Half of the 2010 U.S. trade deficit was from oil – that's $256.9 billion we sent overseas last year alone. The U.S. EPA estimates that the energy security benefit of reducing oil dependence is on the order of $12 per barrel. And gasoline burning inflicts enormous damage on our air quality and climate. For example, the transportation sector is responsible for more than a quarter of U.S. GHG emissions and is a major contributor to smog.
The beauty of the fuel economy and GHG standards is that they are performance based. They set targets based on important public policy goals – i.e., oil savings and GHG reductions – but leave it to industry to find the best way to meet them. They don't "pick winners." They should remain the core of our public policy framework for transportation.
But our current set of vehicles and fuels may not be up to the job of meeting our long-term goals. In order to level the playing field with the incumbent technologies that have benefited from nearly a century of infrastructure development and fuel-vehicle optimization, we need to make some public investment to jumpstart alternative vehicles and fuels. This has to be done carefully. We need a savvy, adaptive strategy that ensures that any subsidies are only temporary, leverages public investment with private dollars, spawns experiments and learns from them, and rewards environmental and efficiency performance.
It is not clear whether hydrogen, natural gas, electricity, or biofuels are the long-term solution to our energy and environmental challenges. But we need to continue to keep the pressure on all of them through performance-based standards, research them all, subsidize limited deployment to see how they perform in the real world, and leave it to industry and consumers to determine their ultimate success in the marketplace.

To most Netizens, the acronym "TLD" stands for "top-level domain." But when it comes to ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), "TLD" also apparently stands for "true-life drama."
Last June, ICANN announced plans to open up the current list of 22 TLDs (.com, .net, .biz, etc) to anyone who wanted to nominate one of their own. Last January, it began accepting applications for new generic TLDs with this announcement on its website:
Tremendous anticipation, planning, and work drove toward 12 January, 2012, the day ICANN began accepting applications for new gTLDs. Whether you've applied or not, your next question might be: "It's after 12 January. What happens next?"
[ Also threatening the Internet: The CISPA cyber security bill, which is even worse than SOPA. Find out what Cringely has to say about it. | For a humorous take on the tech industry's shenanigans, subscribe to Robert X. Cringely's Notes from the Underground newsletter. | Get the latest insight on the tech news that matters from InfoWorld's Tech Watch blog. ]
Yesterday, ICANN had to shut down its gTLD application process because "a possible glitch in the TLD application system software ... has allowed a limited number of users to view some other users' file names and user names in certain scenarios."
We know what happens next: ICANN's website accidentally spills data about the folks who are applying for new TLDs. Maybe it needed just a scosh more anticipation, planning, and work, eh?
Getting a new TLD isn't exactly like applying for a dog license. Want to establish your very own top-level domain? That'll be $185,000, please -- and that's just to submit an application. It will take another six to nine months before ICANN approves or disapproves it. Got a thumbs-down? Sorry, no refunds.
The folks whose data just got spilled aren't your average schmoes -- they're major corporations and nation states, many of them probably competing for the same domains. (Barring any other glitches, ICANN plans to announce the names of the applicants at the end of this month.) You have to imagine they're not entirely happy with ICANN right now.
A wide-open domain system has benefits for non-U.S. companies, in part because it will allow them to use non-Western-language characters in their names. It has benefits for brands like Disney or Coca-Cola, which can essentially own their own little piece of the Internet. I'm kind of partial to .cringe, myself.
It will be an enormous economic boon for copyright attorneys, who will soon be racking up millions of billable hours policing all those new domains for brand squatters, makers of cheap knockoffs, gripe sites, scammers, and the like. And it will provide many rich paydays to come for domain registrars (more on that in a sec).
But it will be confusing as hell for everyone else. Quick, can you name all 22 of the current TLDs? Me, I get to about 10 and start scratching my head. Imagine a world with hundreds of TLDs -- not including the more than 200 country-code TLDs, like .uk or .us.

Crawfish & Bluegrass Crawl
Creole PubCrawl
Saturday, April 6, 2013 from 1:00 PM to 9:00 PM (CDT)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
We are happy to announce our first Crawfish and Bluegrass Crawl to take place on April 6, 2013! Come kick-off the crawfish season with us in a day full of food, drinks, art, and music! We will be parading three groups through the Arts & Warehouse District between three bars: Fulton Bar/Ernst Cafe, Rio Mar Seafood, and Lucy's Retired Surfer Bar. After our share of local brews, margaritas, caipirinhas, we'll all head down to the The Rusty Nail for some live bluegrass by The Ramblin Letters, 600lbs of crawfish, and an NCAA Final Four viewing party.
The crawl works like a funky game of musical bars. Three groups will parade from one bar to the next every 45 minutes. Each stop will offer local brews, discounts on a variety of drinks, local artists at work, and funky jams. On route you'll also get to catch the special unveiling of CPC's pride and joy, our 12-passenger bar on wheels, The Big Easy Bike. After a few hours of silliness on the street, the real fun begins.
Come 4:00 PM we'll be parading to the Rusty Nail for 600 lbs of crawfish, live bluegrass by The Ramblin Letters, and a NCAA Final Four viewing party, first game at 4:05 PM and the second at 6:05 PM! The party doesn't stop until we're out of crawfish, basketball, and beer, and seeing as how we'll be at The Rusty Nail, it's very unlikely we'll run out of beer.
When & Where

Every individual image may be contemplated in conjunction with the original one (as a diptych), by itself (as a distinct work of art), or the collection may be experienced as a single unit (as a visual poem, story, or piece of music – pick your metaphor).

up will, can I charge all reports and links posted on the forum. Thanks in go forward ...
EDIT: It is the use of the word "charge" that messes up the sentence the most. My best guess is that the OP wonders if he can quote/link the posts on this forum on some other place, perhaps a personal blog.

H1N1 Pandemic: Pentagon Planning Deployment of Troops in Support of Nationwide Vaccination
Militarization of public health in the case of emergency is now official
by Michel Chossudovsky
According to CNN, the Pentagon is "to establish regional teams of military personnel to assist civilian authorities in the event of a significant outbreak of the H1N1 virus this fall, according to Defense Department officials."
"The proposal is awaiting final approval from Defense Secretary Robert Gates.
The implications are far-reaching.
According to Brig. Gen. Robert Felderman, Deputy Director of USNORTHCOM's Plans, Policy and Strategy Directorate: "USNORTHCOM is the global synchronizer – the global coordinator – for pandemic influenza across the combatant commands"(emphasis added) (See Gail Braymen, USNORTHCOM contributes pandemic flu contingency planning expertise to trilateral workshop, USNORTHCOM, April 14, 2008, See also USNORTHCOM. Pandemic Influenza Chain Training (U) pdf)
Apart from the CNN dispatch and a FOX news report, there has been virtually no mainstream press coverage of this issue. No statement has been made by USNORTHCOM. The Fox New Report suggests that US troops would be involved in organising military quarantines (see videoclip below).

Women's Tennis On the Road This Week for Two Matches
After posting a pair of dominating Big South wins last weekend, the Liberty women's tennis team takes to the road this week for a pair of matches. The Lady Flames face conference and in-state rival Radford tomorrow at 2 p.m., before stepping out of league play on Saturday with a 10 a.m. contest against East Carolina.
Live scoring for tomorrow's match will be available on LibertyFlames.com by clicking on the live stats link on the women's tennis schedule/results page. Live scoring will be provided courtesy of the Radford Athletics Communications office.
Liberty notched two dominating league wins last week, defeating UNC Asheville, 7-0, at home, before picking up a 6-1 road win at Presbyterian College. The Lady Flames' win against the Bulldogs was their first conference shutout of the season. The two wins boost Liberty's record to 10-8 overall and 5-2 in Big South play. The Lady Flames have won three out of their last four matches.
For the season, three players, Maria Khval, Brittany Yang and Nicola Wellman, are tied for the team lead in singles wins with 11 each. Yang is a team-best 6-1 in conference clashes. In doubles play, Yang and Belen Rivera are 8-3 overall and 6-1 in Big South matches to pace the Lady Flames. Khval and Rebekah Jenkins also have eight wins, each of which has come in the No. 1 position.
Liberty is 8-7 all-time against Radford and 0-4 versus East Carolina. The Lady Flames have notched wins in each of the last four matches against the Highlanders, including a 6-1 victory last season at the Hershey Tennis Courts.
The Highlanders are coming off their first Big South win of the season last Wednesday against Longwood, upping their record to 1-2 in league play and 6-8 overall. Grace Sarver is the team-leader in singles wins with seven. In doubles play, Sarver and partner Meg Napolitano have six victories to pace the squad.
The Pirates are 9-9 overall this season and will play Richmond today before hosting the Lady Flames on Saturday. East Carolina has dropped three matches in a row entering its contest against the Spiders. The Pirates have faced four other Big South opponents this season, collecting wins against Presbyterian College and Gardner-Webb and falling to Campbell and Coastal Carolina.
Following this week's matches, Liberty will close out the Big South portion of its schedule with a road contest at Longwood on April 9.

In recognition of Data Privacy Day, the Consumer Protection Unit reminds Alaska residents to protect their personal and communications data by encrypting their wireless Internet networks and by checking their privacy settings on social networking sites.
Many computer users leave themselves vulnerable to financial fraud or privacy invasions by failing to activate the encryption feature on their wireless routers. Consumers also frequently reveal personal data to the public when using social networking sites like Facebook.
The Consumer Protection Unit recommends these three steps for ensuring that you don't unintentionally compromise your personal information:
A recent industry study found that 21 percent of adult social network users are leaving their profiles open for anyone to see. That's about 24 million Americans.
The same study found that 70 million people have shared their birthplace on social networking sites and 20 million provided their pet's name. Those are the same details that people are often asked to provide to verify their identity when setting up bank accounts.
If you post vacation updates on an open site, you're telling the world and possibly a burglar that your home is vacant. There's also your reputation to consider. According to a 2009 study, 70 percent of human resources professionals have rejected a candidate based on what they found out about the person by searching online.
Activate your router's encryption feature to better ensure information you transmit over the Web such as account logins, passwords and credit card numbers -- are scrambled.
Read the instructions that come with your wireless router to determine how to turn on the encryption feature. Two main types of encryption are available: WiFi Protected Access (WPA) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). Your computer, router, and other equipment must use the same encryption. WPA2 is strongest; use it if you have a choice.
Change your router's hardware identifier and preset password so a hacker can't use the defaults to try to access your network. Of course, you should also use anti-virus and anti-spyware software and a firewall. For help configuring your router, visit OnGuard Online's Wireless Security page.
Café, hotel and airport "hot spots" are convenient, but assume that other people can see anything you see or send over a public wireless network.
Data Privacy Day, internationally recognized on Jan. 28, brings together businesses, individuals, government agencies, nonprofit groups and academics to spotlight how personal data is collected, used and stored.

text: Hello so I am looking to shape my first surfboard. Looking around I have found some different brands and I saw the US Blanks seem to have a shape to them already...? Are the US blanks already shaped and need to be glassed? Or is it just like a stock cut and then you shape from there? I am sort of confused because I see others selling blanks that are in the shape of rectangles.

With "The Other Boleyn Girl" premiering all over the world, co-stars Eric Bana, Scarlett Johansson, and Natalie Portman are getting all kinds of opportunities to hang out together.
And according to Bana, they all loved working on the film together. He told press, "I hate to break it to you but actors really do love each other. It's a crazy job and we put ourselves in vulnerable positions. I don't care if it sounds corny but it's true: you're part of a brotherhood, and protect each other."

Public Administration – DPA
Academic Year: 2009 – 2010
The mission of the Doctor of Public Administration Program (DPA) is to advance the education of experienced practitioners interested in improving their understanding of public management and public policy. These individuals can make a significant contribution, bridging the worlds of practice and scholarship by developing a capacity to bring experience from the practitioner community to the scholarly community and translate the contributions of the scholarly community into the world of the practitioners.
A cohort of up to 15 students will be admitted to the program in the fall of odd numbered years. Students will be asked to submit an application portfolio in addition to the application for graduate admission to UIS. That portfolio must include an educational and professional goals statement of at least 600 words written by the applicant, three letters of recommendation, at least one sample of professional writing that was written solely by the applicant, and evidence of significant work experience in a public affairs field. Applicants are encouraged, but not required, to submit GRE scores as part of their portfolios. Those scores can provide useful information about an applicant's readiness for program coursework. There are no individual course prerequisites.
To be eligible for serious consideration, the application portfolio must provide evidence of;
* A completed master's degree
* A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.25 for all graduate work
* Evidence of excellent oral and written communication skills.
* A good fit between the applicant's educational aspirations and the curricular offerings of the program and the expertise of the faculty;
* The quality of the applicant's previous graduate performance;
* Evidence of the applicant's ability to complete doctoral-level work; and
* Evidence of significant professional achievement or promise of significant achievement in a public affairs field.
In some cases, the selection process may include an interview with DPA faculty members.
Students must submit application materials by March 15 for admission to the cohort that will start in the fall semester.
A doctoral program faculty advisor will be assigned at the time a student is admitted to the DPA program. The advisor will assist the student in creating a formal plan of study. The student's advisor must also approve all electives and the appropriate quantitative methods course the student will take. The advisor will provide a formative written evaluation of the student's progress during the first year of course work and will assist in the preparation and grading of the student's qualifying exams at the end of the core courses. The student may choose to switch advisors at the dissertation stage to work with someone who has expertise in a particular subfield.
Course Requirements
Each student must complete at least 40 hours of course work, plus a minimum of 12 hours of dissertation credit. Students may petition for up to 12 hours of transfer credit for post-master's graduate work deemed appropriate for the DPA. All students are required to complete all courses with a grade of B or better in each course.
Core Courses (20 hours)
PAD 651 Conduct of Inquiry and Theoretical Foundations 4 Hrs.
PAD 652 Public Management Seminar 4 Hrs.
PAD 653 Public Policy Seminar 4 Hrs.
PAD 654 Research Design 4 Hrs.
PAD 655 Research Design Practicum 4 Hrs.
Electives (20 hours)
Students must complete 20 hours of elective course work at the 500 level of above approved by the doctoral program faculty. One elective must be a quantitative analysis course selected with the approval of the student's advisor. On admission, each student's level of preparation in this area will be assessed. Based on that assessment, the advisor will direct the student toward an appropriate 500-level quantitative analysis course to ensure that the student has at least the minimum level of competence required. If the student does not have the specific 400-level prerequisites for a 500-level quantitative course, the student will have to take that 400-level prerequisite even though it cannot count toward the hours required for the doctoral program.
After the student completes the five DPA core courses, he or she will be required to complete a qualifying exam to demonstrate competence in the required core fields. The exam contains both oral and written components and will be administered and evaluated by a committee of three faculty members chosen from among those faculty who have taught core courses. Students who have not passed the qualifying exam with a grade of B or better after two attempts will be dropped from the doctoral program.
Dissertation Work (a minimum of 12 hours)
After successful completion of the qualifying exam and the 20 hours of elective course work, the student is officially admitted to candidacy and may begin working on a dissertation proposal. Each student's advisor will assist with selection of the dissertation committee from among the graduate faculty of the university. A written dissertation proposal must be formally approved by the student's dissertation committee before dissertation work proceeds. Students must complete 12 hours of dissertation credit (PAD 690). University policy requires that a student who has been admitted to candidacy must be continuously enrolled in at least one semester hour of dissertation course work each fall and spring until the dissertation is completed, defended, and accepted. An oral examination on the dissertation will be conducted by the dissertation committee. The dissertation advisor will chair the oral dissertation defense, which will be open to the campus community.

"PHPMyAdmin" is a web based GUI interface to manage MySQL databases, which the attacker discovers is running on one of the web services. Using the credentials gathered from the configuration file, the attacker is able to login as the database administrator. The attacker crafts an SQL query to attempt to write a PHP file into the root web folder and then access it using firefox. The result being the attacker is able to write files and execute PHP commands.
To be able to remotely interactive with the target, the attacker chooses to use "PHP-pentest-monkey" shell. The attacker creates a clone copy to work on and edits the file with their IP address as the shell will be remotely connecting back to them (and the shell needs to know where the attacker is), altering the port as well as removing the start & end PHP statements as they will already be in place. Upon updating the file, the attacker encodes the shell using base64 via "msfvenom" as this will not affect the SQL statement which will be used to create the file. Before triggering the web shell, the attacker uses netcat again to listen on the same port used in the web shell. Once everything is in place, the attacker calls the web shell, causing the target to execute the PHP function to decode the backdoor, making a connection back to the attacker. This gives the attacker command line access to the target with the same permission as the web server.
The attacker wishes to gain deeper access into the system by escaping privileges. To do so one common method is by exploiting the kernel (this ONLY works if it is the 'correct' version!). The attacker finds the target's kernel version, searches their local copy of a public exploit database "exploit-db" and discovers a potential exploit which matches the kernel version. The attacker checks that the exploit code doesn't contain any 'non-code' at the top of the file as it would stop the file compiling (it is common with exploits to have 'shout outs' here), copies a version to their local web root folder and gives permission to the file to make sure every user has access to the file. After everything is ready the attacker then starts a web server.
Controlling the target the attacker is able to locate a folder which they have permission to write to and execute files from. Afterwards they instruct the target to download the exploit code from the attacker and compile it. Upon execution the attacker has now got root access on the target's machine.
Game over
When they explore root's personal home folder, they notice the "key" file. The attacker notices the text file extension and views the content, upon doing so; they see the message has been encoded. Due to the use of "=" at the end of the message, it is a common sign that base64 has been used. The attacker pastes the message back into burp and decodes it. Seeing the mention of "png", hints the decoded value is an image file. After using the web site "opinionatedgeek.com", to decode and download the file, the attacker checks the file signature. It appears to be a valid png file format and opens it up to reveal the 'flag/proof', indicating the end goal.
Game over...again

- When starting the VM for the first time with VMware, select "I Moved It" - otherwise it could cause issues (e.g. the target will not be visible!).
- Some mistakes in the video are more obvious.
- Instead of using "PHP-Reverse-Shell" & "netcat", "PHP Meterpreter" & "Metasploit" could of been used.
- It is worth downloading Joomla to be familiar with a default configuration.
- The target uses DHCP to obtain an IP address.
- The selection area to record was not in align when I recorded it
