Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Wednesday, February 27 from 6-8PM
Foley Gallery - 97 Allen Street, New York NY
Please Join Allen Frame, Pratt Institute Adjunct Professor of Fine Arts, at an opening reception celebrating the work of six Pratt MFA alumni photographers.
PAUSE opens February 26 and runs through March 3, 12-6PM
Six photographers, presented by Foley Gallery, stalk the space of nowhere, anywhere, and somewhere and arrive "here" in the eerie calm of Pause, their exhibition of photographs depicting lives and landscapes on hold, barren, bleak, forgotten, anonymous, abandoned, and random. Their views of the world are rooted in memory and marked by transience. They are travelers poking into voids, looking at emptiness, examining the anxiety of unresolved questions. The artists are melancholic progeny, gazing at the family tree after it's been chopped down, and unfolding maps to forgotten places.
EVA FAZZARI returns to New Jersey landscapes and finds post-storm ruins and abandoned housesovertaken by nature, amid undisturbed domestic scenes of uncanny quietude. Her stark reality is stalled between chaos and niceties of middle-class taste.
PETER RIESETT mines familial settings, but chooses households left behind by grandparents now deceased. Evocative traces of their lives and the fragile, still beauty of their abandoned objects create a sense of both serenity and absurdity.
While most of the photographers depict unpeopled environments and passing landscapes, RACHEL LANGOSCH deals mostly with the female figure, finding (and staging) private moments in the situations of daily life. A woman lies face down in jogging clothes in a carpeted office setting. Has she just been jogging, or is she succumbing to some corporate pressure? The ambiguity is unsettling.
AUSTIN NELSON, making pictures "on the road" mixes portraits with quirky scenes of buildings and landscapes. A Southern mansion in disrepair is just a glancing view on his rambling trip; an old storefront doorway draped with an American flag feels eccentric, if forgotten. Both his places and people are sleepy, on Southern time with no agenda. A friend standing in a field in Texas looks as if he just woke up, probably with a hangover. A car parked outside a nondescript building looks forsaken.
The two Taiwanese photographers in the show, I-HSUEN CHEN and LIANG-PIN TSAO complement each other, both doing road trips but with radically different visions.
CHEN, under the spell of the classic road-trip photographers Robert Frank, Stephen Shore, and Joel Sternfeld, idylls through Taiwan, but instead of finding the drama of Frank's diverse demographics, or the wonder of Sternfeld's American anecdotes, he discovers a society in a state of suspension. Time seems to have stopped for this island culture, and Chen focuses on the inadvertent poise of routine and the everyday. A group of people stand at the edge of the sea, gazing off. Another group sits in a bus station, killing time. A man in shorts bends over a guardrail on a road, looking for something in the brush, but what?
TSAO, on the other hand, journeys through the U.S., zigzagging from state to state, but he observes less than he emotes: a primal scream or an utterance of puzzlement. His scenes, relentlessly captured, are generic and anonymous. Patches of landscape glimpsed at night are like mirages seen by someone in a fugue. His vagueness is as disturbing as LANGOSCH'S ambiguity or FAZZARI'S piercing precision.
I-HSUEN CHEN is a New York-based photographer, video artist and performer, born and raised in Taiwan. He received an MFA in Photography from Pratt Institute in 2012. His work has been selected for the New York Photo Festival's 2012 Invitational, his series Nowhere in Taiwan is in the Permanent Collections of Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and he was chosen as one of Magenta Foundation's Flash Forward Emerging Photographers 2012. In 2011 he won Jen Bekman Gallery's Blurb book prize and a Hey Hot Shot! Honorable Mention, and was awarded the New Artist Feature by the site Culturehall, chosen by curator Tema Stauffer. Chen's work has been published in magazines and online, including Conveyor Magazine, PHOTONEWS(Germany), American Photo, CCNY blog, and LENSCRATCH. His work has also been shown at 25CPW Gallery, hpgrp Gallery, ISE Foundation and Ed. Varie Gallery in New York. Before coming to the U.S., he was a professional opera and choir singer in Taiwan.
Nowhere in Taiwan is a selection of photographs made while traveling through my native country of Taiwan in the summer of 2011.
Influenced by the idea of the "road trip" in American photography, exemplified in the work of such photographers as Robert Frank, Stephen Shore, and Joel Sternfeld, I set out to find scenes and situations that seem to be "in between," neither landscape nor cityscape but existing in an ambiguous space I call "nowhere." Some of these sites are suburban, or partly urbanized, or abandoned and left behind. The aspect of location that interests me most has to do with the traces of human presence and gesture that reside or remain. In search of nowhere, I look for unexpected instances of intimacy, so that there is a sense of "nowhere" being unveiled.
EVA FAZZARI Growing up in the middle class suburban town of Dumont, New Jersey, was claustrophobic for me; I could not recognize myself in the identity granted me by my peers. It was not until I left this square mile town for Ramapo College of New Jersey in 2003 that I found confidence in myself and my creative voice. However, I underwent a greater transformation when I moved to Brooklyn in 2007 to start a new life and pursue my MFA degree at Pratt Institute. Immersed in city life, for the first time I was able to analyze the suburbs from a new perspective. Suddenly, I became obsessed with photographing New Jersey, travelling home every weekend.
An immediate force driving me home was learning that my childhood friend was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She died at age 22, in October of my first semester. After her death I spent months in search of meaning, photographing her possessions, friends and family. I have discovered that I prefer to photograph anticipation and aftermath but never the main event. It is in these moments that one may clearly view their surroundings, their stillness offering clarity on otherwise overwhelming situations. I became aware of this in my series, Survived By, 2008.
Following Survived By, I began to discover other evocations of loss in New Jersey suburbs. Snow Globe (2009) evokes the claustrophobia I once felt about Dumont. As I began this project, my work, which had previously emphasized traditional portraiture and still life, gradually transitioned to minimal inclusion of people and eventually to interiors and landscapes more alive with feeling than people. I began photographing with a wider lens, using its expansive capture to evoke longing, emptiness or even uncontrolled clutter. In my current series, All That Remains, I examine the environment and its impact on its inhabitants, focusing on transformations, both natural and man-made, and the traces left behind. I have discovered a profound connection between ones atmosphere and ones internal state. Such a revelation may be found in times of transformation.
All That Remains Compelled by a lingering sense of loss I photograph the physical remains of time – impressions made on the walls of our homes, an abandoned house claimed by nature, and landscapes stripped bare. These are evidence of the lives we lived, and lost, the cycle of change which pushes some ahead while leaving others behind.
I am drawn to the eerie stillness of life. I live in this dichotomy – in any moment feeling both empty and suffocated. There are both dense and barren landscapes, homes cluttered and empty, stuck in a state of limbo. I revisit these places, forgotten by society, because the physical traces remain.
RACHEL LANGOSCH graduated with a BA in Photography from Bard College in 2005 and an MFA from Pratt Institute in 2009. Rachel has taught digital photography at The University of Southern California Los Angeles and with National Geographic Student Expeditions (teaching in the Galapagos, Greece, India, Australia's Outback and Italy), taught visual arts to inner city students in both Harlem and South Central Los Angeles, and is part of En Masse - a photography collective made up of working fine art and editorial photographers.
The photographs exhibited are from two bodies of work: In Between and Engaged. In Between is a project about moving forward while simultaneously looking at what has been left behind. Engaged examines the anxieties women face before their nuptials. I am continually interested in moments of introspection and anxiety and how they manifest. In both bodies of work, moments of stagnation and introspection are recreated by actors. Stillness is present while life around these subjects move at immeasurable speeds.
For man so feared the world that he attributed his electrochemical faculties to a phantasm created in his own image.
I do not seek salvation because I don't believe in that kind of believing.
Because I have said these things, you are filled with grief.
Let not your heart be troubled.
Believe in yourself as I do not believe in me.
Happy Rebirthday.
Heaven help us.
Last time we talked, we were both in similar situations, emotionally. I have to admit that it was hard to not have you there with me sometimes, but I knew we were doing what we had to do and that the next time we met would be even better. I'm really proud of you. I took a lot of photographs after we left and I always looked forward to showing you. In fact, they're really just for you and me, anyway. I thought about everything we had talked about and I started seeing it everywhere - the modern freshly embedded in the ancient and our civilization's grand advancements mixed with our defiantly primitive nature. I became a realistic idealist. I was photographing the actuality of life insecurely covered in the tattered drapery of our unattainable desires and unbelievable beliefs. These images are dreams devoid of fantasy. They prove only their own existence if they prove anything at all.
PETER RIESETT Raised near Baltimore, Maryland, Peter Riesett earned his BFA in photography from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 1998. He continued his artistic training at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, where he earned an MFA in 2002. His work has been exhibited internationally, including in Houston, Lithuania, and Syria and his work resides in the permanent collection at The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, as well as various private collections. Pete was recognized as a winner of the Flash Forward 2007: Emerging Photographers Competition, through The Magenta Foundation. He's been awarded 'Honorable Mention' for his book of the series Testament by Blurb's Photography Book Now competition in both 2008 and 2009. Pete's work has been included in the Humble Arts Foundation publication, The Collector's Guide To Emerging Art Photography, as well as the PRC Juried Publication, juried by Dana Faconti of Blind Spot. Most recently, Pete was selected as a winner of 10 BEST 10 International Competition in NYC and also received 'Honorable Mention' in the Prix De La Photographie, Paris (Px3). Currently a traveling exhibition and book from the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, entitled WAR/PHOTOGRAPHY: Images of Armed Conflict and Its Aftermath, includes his image "WWII" from the series Testament. Riesett currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
TESTAMENT is a photographic series that documents the packing up of a life after death. After both grandfathers passing, one in 2003 and the other in 2007, I routinely returned to these spaces to capture what I could before this dwelling disappeared. Much like an archeological dig, souvenirs, texts, and objects filled the space, allowing me to have wordless conversations with the objects of disuse. With every visit the void and absence of life became greater within these walls. Through the wandering process of investigation, compositions were revealed, often transcending into metaphor.
Personality traits become unveiled by how and what is accumulated, stockpiled, and often cherished. These attachments and idiosyncrasies, portrayed through the collision, placement, and relationship of everyday objects intrigue me. The action of photography becomes a way to integrate myself into any given situation. Using an unflinching documentary approach and working with available light, I strive to engage viewers in a dialogue that is both physical and emotional. This is a call to witness.
LIANG-PIN TSAO Born and raised in Taiwan, Liang-Pin Tsao is an artist currently living in Taipei, Taiwan. Tsao holds an MFA in Photography from Pratt Institute; an MA in International Journalism from Cardiff University. He has exhibited his work in Taipei, Tainan and New York.
The images exhibited are from two bodies of work: Inner / City and One /America. The series Inner / City presents Tsao's internal struggle to find his place in the new environment when he moved to Brooklyn, NY from Taiwan. Another series One / America is the result of his multiple and lone road trips across U.S. for approximately three months during which Tsao became aware of its valedictory nature and his connection to the land and people he encountered. This selection navigates the recurring topics of solitude, vulnerability and self-discovery from the two bodies of work.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
When Frames singer Glen Hansard and new talent Markéta Irglová agreed to co-star in director John Carney's Once, neither expected much. So imagine their surprise when the joy-filled film became an unlikely hit that not only brought them together as a couple, but ultimately earned them an Academy Award for the impossibly gorgeous "Falling Slowly." At the Ogden long before the Oscars, the pair shared music from the movie and plenty more, interacting with the crowd and each other in such an intimate a manner that the audience became not just witnesses to their love story, but part of it.
What's much more fun than watching American Idol every week? Trying to become the British Bulldog's Rock Idol. Competitors had to choose songs from such categories as "'90s" and "female vocalists." With the Bulldog's buy-one-get-one-free drafts and well drinks, there were plenty of people in the audience for the would-be Rock Idols to entertain, and in this competition, singing was second place to entertaining. Will Rock Idol return for a second season? Let's hope the folks at the British Bulldog are up for another round.
Gene Gillette held the stage with complete authority in The Lieutenant of Inishmore, a crazed, cathartic bloodbath of a play dominated by scenes of torture, murder and dismemberment. As the psychotic Padraic, unhinged by the death of his cat, he was dopey, sentimental and terrifying, and you believed he was capable of every violent act attributed to him — and a good deal more.
Everyone's bigger than life in Tennessee Williams's melodrama about familial battles in the hot, lurid South, and everyone talks nonstop, but Brick is required to say very little for a long, long time. Chris Reid made the character complex and multi-dimensional, so that his extended silences pulsed with feeling and thought — and when he exploded, everything around him went white, like the landscape during a lightning flash. His Brick was cruel and cowardly, passionate, tormented and subtle, with a quietly twisted sense of humor. A deeply felt and resonant performance.
In Soul Survivor, Vincent C. Robinson clearly had a great time portraying the Devil as he attempted to win the soul of a quiet, rational man already quite happy with his life. He swaggered, teased and seduced the audience, uttered tee-hees of laughter that were both sinister and self-mocking, mugged, grimaced and, at one point, broke into an outrageous triumphal dance — and the audience enjoyed every moment just as much as he did.
Seymour is a nerdy soul who's faced with a Faustian bargain when he finds and tends a man-eating plant that offers him money, prestige and the love of Seymour's beautiful co-worker, Audrey — but only if Seymour keeps feeding it flesh. It's a ridiculous premise that fuels a goofy show, but Brandon Dill, an expressive actor with a strong voice, actually made you feel for the guy.

Anoscopy is a method to look at the anus, anal canal, and lower rectum.
How the Test is Performed
The procedure is usually done in a doctor's office.
A digital rectal exam is done first. Then, a lubricated instrument called an anoscope is placed a few inches into the rectum. You will feel some discomfort when this is done.
The anoscope has a light on the end, so the health care provider can see the entire area. Asample for biopsy can be taken, if needed.
How to Prepare for the Test
You may receive a laxative, enema, or other preparation before the procedure so that you can completely empty your bowels. You should empty your bladder before the procedure.
How the Test Will Feel
There will be some discomfort during the procedure. You may feel the need to have a bowel movement. You may feel a pinch when a biopsy is taken.
You can usually return to normal activities after the procedure.
Why the Test is Performed
This test may be used to determine whether you have:
- Anal fissues
- Anal polyps
- Hemorrhoids
- Infection
- Inflammation
- Tumors
Normal Results
The anal canal appears normal in size, color, and tone. There is no sign of bleeding, polyps, hemorrhoids, or other abnormal tissue.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Abnormal results may include:
There are few risks. If a biopsy is needed, there is a slight risk of bleeding and mild pain.

Esophagectomy - dischargeTrans-hiatal esophagectomy - discharge; Trans-thoracic esophagectomy - discharge; Minimally invasive esophagectomy - discharge; En bloc esophagectomy - discharge; Removal of the esophagus - discharge
Your esophagus isthe tube that moves food from your throat to your stomach. You had surgery to remove part, or all, of your esophagus. The remaining part of your esophagus and your stomach were rejoined.
If you had surgery that used a laparoscope, several small incisions (cuts) were made in your belly or chest. If you had open surgery, larger cuts were made on your belly or chest.
What to Expect at Home
You will probably have a feeding tube for 1 to 2 months after surgery. This will help you get enough calories to help you gain weight. You will also be on a special diet when you first get home.
Your stools may be looser and you may have bowel movements more often than before your surgery.
Do not lift anything heavier than about 3 pounds for:
- 2 weeks after laparoscopic surgery
- 6 to 8 weeks after open surgery
You may walk 2 or 3 times a day, go up or down stairs, or ride in a car. You will need time to rest after being active. If it hurts when you do something, stop doing that activity. If you have large incisions, press a pillow over them when you cough or sneeze.
Make sure your home is safe as you are recovering. For example, remove throw rugs to prevent tripping and falling. In the bathroom, install safety bars to help you get in and out of the tub or shower.
Your doctor will give you a prescription for pain medicines. Get it filledonyourway home from the hospitalso you have it when you need it. Take your pain medicine when you start having pain. Waiting too long to take it will allow your pain to get worse than it should.
Other self-care
You will be using a feeding tubeafter you go home. You willlikely use it only at nighttime. The feeding tube will not interfere with your normal daytime activities. Once theincisions are healed, you will start having clear liquids, and then your diet will slowly progress.Follow your health care provider's instructions ondiet and eating.
Follow instructions for doing deep-breathing exercisesafter you get home.
If you are a smoker and are having trouble quitting, talk with your doctor about medicines that you can help you quit smoking.Joining alocal stop-smoking program can help, too.
You may have some skin soreness around your feeding tube. Follow instructions on how to take care of the tube and the surrounding skin.
Change your dressings (bandages) every day until yoursurgeon says you no longer need to keep your incisions bandaged. Wash the wound area with mild soap and water and pat dry.
You may remove the wound dressings and take a shower if sutures (stitches), staples, or glue were used to close your skin. Do not try to wash off the thin strips oftape or glue. They will come off on their own in about a week.
Do not soak in a bathtub, hot tub, or swimming pool until your doctor tells you it is okay.
After surgery, you will need close follow-up:
- You will see your surgeon 2 or 3 weeks after getting home. Your surgeon will check your wounds and see how you are doing with your diet.
- You will have anx-ray to make sure the new connection between your esophagus and stomach is okay.
- You will meet with a dietitian to go over your tube feedings and your diet.
- You will see your oncologist, the doctor who treats your cancer.
When to Call the Doctor
Call your doctor or nurse if:
- Your temperature is above 101°F (38.3°C).
- Your incisions are bleeding, red, warm to the touch, or have a thick, yellow, green, or milky drainage.
- Your painmedicines do not help ease your pain.
- It is hard to breathe.
- You have a cough that does not go away.
- You cannot drink or eat.
- Your skin or the white part of your eyes turns yellow.
- Your stools are loose or you're having diarrhea.
- You are vomiting after eating.
- You feel a burning sensation in your throat when you sleep or lay down.

Community Affairs File--Archives
The Community Affairs File in the Archives was established to collect and preserve single original documents of individuals or community organizations from Vigo County. Items are arranged by the same subject headings found in the Community Affairs File in both Special Collections and the Reference Department.
The CAF--Archives is reserved for primary source material, that is, original and unique items which document a local individual's life, an organization's history, or a specific event in time. Some examples of primary sources are letters, programs, invitations, newsletters, and annual reports.
The files in Special Collections primarily contain newspaper clippings or pamphlets written about a particular subject after the fact or event happened. The CAF-Archives is used as a back-up file for fragile, original newspaper articles, duplicate pamphlets, or items that need special protection.
Access to the Collection

Vermont Tasting Center Opens Near Mass. Border
|John Armstrong, left, and Peter Hopkins have opened the Green Mountain Tasting Center in the Hillside House in Pownal, Vt.
POWNAL, Vt. — Two businessmen are bringing some of the Green Mountain state's finest foods and drinks into one place.
The Green Mountain Tasting Center is now open inside of Hillside House, just some 400 feet over the Massachusetts border.
The center is the newest project from Hoppy Valley Organics and brings some of the state's finest cheeses, pepperoni, beers, wine and other specialty products into one place. The company offers both the items for sale and provides tastings.
"We opened around the first week of May. We did a very, very soft opening," said co-owner Peter Hopkins.
Inside the furniture store, owned by John Armstrong, the pair renovated a 1,300-foot-section and installed a bar, a window for growler sales, beer and wine retail section. They've "curated" a menu for tastings and retail.
"We are really pleased with the way it came it. It appears very warm and homey and inviting. The bar is terrific, made out of red elm, which is very unusual. All in all, it is a nice place to spend an hour," Hopkins said.
The two have also spent the last few months traveling the state looking for products. They've even gone so far as changing Vermont state law. Through a bill Hopkins filed, companies that hold second-class alcohol permits can go directly to small wineries and bring the products back to their retail store. Previously, the second-class licenseholder had to go through a distribution center, which cut off the ability to transport bottles from the smaller wineries.
"We've got a very good selection of Vermont wine now but we're excited to have wine from the little Vermont wineries," Hopkins said, waiting until July 1 when the new law goes into effect.
From 1 until 5 p.m. on the weekends, Hopkins and Armstrong are providing tastings of the goods. They are scheduling groups of eight to come in throughout those hours. They do have plans to expand hours and the menu but for now, they are still feeling the new venture out.
"We continue to take things at a measured pace so we understand things that work and things that don't work," Hopkins said.
He later added that since opening, "we have not been swamped, which is exactly what we wanted. We wanted to be able to sit and understand what went right that day, what went wrong. What people liked and what people didn't. Now, we think we're ready to go."
Armstrong said he has been fielding calls from local organization looking to hold events there and has booked an Otter Creek beer tasting on May 31. He is going to be changing the sign out front to attract more attention — right now, the tasting center is only a small portion of the furniture store.
"People don't realize what this is. They don't know about it," Armstrong said.
Meanwhile, Hoppy Valley Organics is in its second year of growing hops to sell to craft beer breweries. The hops are growing at a much faster pace this year and a bigger yield is expected. Armstrong said more and more breweries have called to talk about their product so the market to sell than has improve greatly.
This year, Otter Creek has committed to buying some of the hops for a special brew.
"This whole industry is so compatible. Everybody, whether they are a brewer or a grower, they all like to talk about what they are doing different," Armstrong said.

Use the torrent download. Its generally better for everyone involved. Probably a bit faster now that there's some more seeds too.

Self/Body image is often at the root of eating disorders. Our culture provides many impossible beauty exceptions. Food can become our friend, or enemy in coping with our perceived fears and insecurities. Sometimes food is used to comfort us, we become overweight in a cycle of "trying to feeling good enough". Sometimes, we fear food and restrict, or eliminate food due to fears of gaining weight, and our body image becomes distorted. Learning to love and care for our body and self takes vulnerability and trust. I am here for you, as a safe person, to assist you in stopping the process of self shame, blame, and judgement that keeps you in a hurtful, unhealthy relationship with food.

If you are running the new version of flash (11) it no longer updates though the installer. It has a section in system preferences that is used to update.
.app is an application.
.dmg is a disk image (a notion Windows users have trouble grasping)
.sea is a self extracting archive which is like an app because it doesn't require another app to extract the compressed file it contains.
I rarely see .sea anymore because developers release their apps on dmg's or they are compressed as plain stuffit archives or gz.
I thought I infected my MBP with it since the Adobe Flash wanted to update a few times. I thought it was strange at the time but updated anyway. When I read this post I figured I infected my computer and went to look for the string of code in the .plist for Safari but couldn't find it. Does that mean I'm not infected or what? Also, I installed LittleSnitch, which if I do have the trojan it would be too late anyhow, but now I can't quit or uninstall it. Amidoinitrong? :no idea:
EDIT: Found the uninstaller option in the .dmg but still unsure if I'm infected.
This is a mess. And it is all on Apple.

I know what your saying Scott but how much they will lend you and the % of deposit you need are two different things. I assume they looked at all your permitted income (some income is not accepted by some lenders, eg overtime that isnt guarunteed) then deducted whatever you pay out each month in commitments (utility bills, council tax, loans, credit cards etc) then multiplied it by whatever.
That only works out the max they will lend to you. Regardless of this amount they will ask for a set % as your contribuiton. In other words, they demand that you take a % of the risk. Its called the loan to value or LTV. So if you want £90k for a house valued at £100k (you put down a 10% deposit of £10k), it doesnt matter if they will lend you £200k, the LTV will remain the same. They will want you to put down 10%
Otherwise they'd be lending you all the money for your house (100% LTV) and all the risk would be on them. Thats precisely why 100%, 110% and 125% mortgages have been scrapped. Does that make sense pal? Good work qualifying for £200k by the way!!!

Well this really depends on what exactly you want to learn, but you can search this forum in the "HowTo" section and "Video Tutorials" there are some nice things here that you might find interesting to experience in your LAN.
Hello everyone,
I just got into Penetration Testing and was wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction to get started. I know Linux quited well (LPIC-1) and am fairly strong in Networking with Linux, Windows, and Cisco devices.
I would like to point out that I have no interest in hacking people, but I am very interested in hacking my own network to expand my knowledge of Network vulnerabilities. If all goes well, fix whatever vulnerabilities I may find.
I am planning to take the OSCP/PWB course soon, but I'd rather go in there with some more in-depth knowledge.
So that's it! Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Well this really depends on what exactly you want to learn, but you can search this forum in the "HowTo" section and "Video Tutorials" there are some nice things here that you might find interesting to experience in your LAN.

Do not read the Wiki, most your questions will not be answered there !
Do not take a look at the: Forum Rules !
I did notice some interesting things in both the HowTo and Video forum. Right now I've got a Win 2003 Server and BT4 running Virtually to play around with so I will set up some scenarios for myself.
As to what exactly I want to learn, that's a hard one. I want to learn it all!
I'll keep going with what I find in those two forums but if you ever think of anything else, please let me know. I'm a sucker for knowledge
I do not understand this post, you are claiming you are going to take a OSCP/PWB course soon, yet in the same post, asking people what you should do to get started exploiting your lan. Now i am not accusing you of anything, quite contrary, there is a wealth of knowledge on these forums its the reason as to why they exist. You seem to be asking, hey can anyone get me all the important stuff from the forums and post them on this thread, sorry if you feel maybe I am being a little rude, I dont mean it to come across like that, but what exactly are you asking for
Sometimes I try to fit a 16-character string into an 8byte space, on purpose.
I believe this has been sought after in a few threads may want to go check them out.Myself I love to learn also but I believe you may want to look through the forms on this subject they have all the directions. Were you go from there is up to you. And to finish up start were ever you feel is most needed cause there is no way of learning it all as we all know the saying. Once you think you have it along comes a new and better way.

Lacking any better goal, and based on your stated level of knowledge, you may as well just start off with "Metasploit Unleashed" (Google it).
Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".
The Forum Rules, Forum FAQ and the BackTrack Wiki... learn them, love them, live them.
And while reading Metasploit Unleashed you could download Metasploitable and set it up in a VMware it's a very nice thing to play with.

To Lupin and Sickness, THANK YOU!
That is EXACTLY what I was hoping for.
As for Metasploitable, I'll definitely download that. Although I would prefer using Vbox rather than VMware (I like Open Source :P).
To Killadaninja - no worries, I understand what I am asking for is broad. While I have extensive knowledge in Linux, I have actually never attempted to exploit my, or anyone else's LAN. This is why Offensive Security is so new to me. Luckily, with Metasploit Unleashed and Metasploitable I can move forward and learn some basic exploitation in a virtual environment.
Again, thank you all, this will definitely be a great help.


text: IRVING, Texas -- The sun should not set again with Jason Garrett as coach if Jerry Jones isn't committed to him beyond next season, regardless of whether the Dallas Cowboys make the playoffs. Either ride with Garrett or get rid of him. Anything else is a colossal waste of time. Hey, the Jacksonville Jaguars fired coach Mike Mularkey on Thursday after one season, so it's not like there's some statute of limitations on firing coaches once the season ends. Jerry made it clear he's the person calling all the shots with his soliloquy about the factors that led to defensive coordinator Rob Ryan's dismissal while taping his weekly TV show. Monte Kiffin is considered the leading candidate to replace Ryan. Kiffin spent the past three seasons at Southern Cal coaching with his son, Lane, the head coach. Kiffin's claim to fame is creating the Tampa 2 defensive scheme that involves playing the safeties deep and limiting big plays, forcing an opponent to drive methodically down the field. The Cowboys' defensive assistants already have been told they will have to interview with the new defensive coordinator. If he chooses to keep them, fine. If not, they'll be unemployed. There's also a possibility Jerry will yank the play-calling duties away from Garrett and hire someone else to call plays. Norv Turner, fired by San Diego, would be near the top of the wish list. Whether Jerry hires Turner or someone else, that person will get an opportunity to add assistants familiar with his offense and philosophical approach. Now, we're talking about the potential addition of two coaches who have considerable more loyalty to the owner than the head coach. How dumb is that? Disaster lurks in that scenario. The only question is how long it takes before the back-stabbing and infighting begin, especially on a staff led by a dude who's not confrontational. http://espn.go.com/dallas/nfl/story/_/id/8833738/dallas-cowboys-need-commit-jason-garrett-fire-now

Florida Georgia Line's 'Cruise' sets record for country digital singles
Listen to Florida Georgia Line on iHeartRadio
Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise" is earning the country duo new recognition. Billboard.com says the chart-topping track logged another 84,000 downloads last week to set a new record as the best-selling country digital single.
The latest sales put the track's total downloads at 6.33 million to surpass the previous record holder, Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now." The Lady A track now sits at number two on the list with 6.27 million downloads. Florida Georgia Line's collaborative remix of "Cruise" with Nelly accounts for nearly 40% of the song's total sales.
Florida Georgia Line and Lady Antebellum are the only artists with digital sales for one song topping the six-million mark. Taylor Swift's "Love Story" ranks third with 5.66 million downloads. She also has the number five spot on the list with "You Belong WIth Me," which has sold 4.41 million downloads.
The Band Perry's "If I Die Young" has sold 4.74 million downloads to take fourth place. The rankings are based on figures from Nielsen SoundScan, which began tracking digital music sales in 2003.
Congrats to FGL!

The four remaining council members are hoping to appoint a person to the seat rather than wait until the November election to have a full council. Mr. Carlson's term ends in December 2014.
The application deadline is July 8 at 5 p.m.
The council decided at its June 19 meeting to interview candidates on Thursday, July 11, beginning at 5:30 p.m. The council could appoint a person that night, or, if the four members can't agree on a candidate, could call for an election on Nov. 5.
If an election is held, the candidate filing period would open on July15 and end on Aug. 9.
New vice mayor
The council on June 19 also appointed Cary Wiest vice mayor. Mr. Carlson was elected to that position in December, but resigned the post effective 6 p.m. June 19, just before the council meeting.
Mr. Wiest was elected to the council last November, supported along with Mayor Elizabeth Lewis by the Atherton Police Officers' Association during a campaign marked by warnings from the police union that police services would be in jeopardy should residents support the wrong candidates. Mr. Wiest had run unsuccessfully for a council seat in 2010, soon after moving to Atherton.
Council members Jim Dobbie and Bill Widmer objected to the appointment of a vice mayor that night, and urged the council to postpone the decision. "It is not appropriate for council member Carlson to be voting on the future mayor when (Mr. Carlson) is leaving," Mr. Dobbie said.
Mr. Widmer said he felt so strongly that the appointment, with Mr. Carlson voting, would be inappropriate that he would refuse to vote if the council acted that night.
Disagreeing with his colleagues, Mr. Carlson said the council needed to have a vice mayor in place in case the mayor is unable for any reason to perform her duties after Mr. Carlson has stepped down. Such a situation would leave the council with three members only, and with none designated to preside over a council session.
Mr. Carlson, Mr. Wiest and Mayor Lewis pushed ahead; all three cast votes for Mr. Wiest. Mr. Dobbie voted no, and Mr. Widmer abstained.
There is no rule requiring the council to appoint a vice mayor to the mayoral post the following year, but that has been the traditional progression into the office. The tradition is likely to be tested in December, however, given the unusual circumstances for Mr. Wiest's appointment and the dissension of two council members.
To apply for council
Residents interested in applying for the council seat should contact City Clerk Theresa DellaSanta at 752-0529 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Application forms are available online at www. ci.atherton.ca.us under the "Announcement" heading on the home page.

The Conundrum of The Flirt
I have a friend. Let's call him Finneus. Finneus is a well known flirt at my school. The fact that he's pretty much had a girlfriend consistently since the beginning of 6th grade does not disuade him in what can really only be called a flirtatious personality trait. He's as consistent with his flirting as he is with dating – he will flirt with pretty much any female, and has been known at times to cross over and flirt with guys as well. Which is weirdly a way to show off his masculinity as long as it's all in jest. This aspect of boy culture still eludes me.
Anyway, I used shrug off Finneus's flirting, thinking, "Hey, he's a teenage boy. It happens." I couldn't really …

David Bowie wanted for NBC's 'Hannibal'
Listen to David Bowie on iHeartRadio
David Bowie is getting an acting job pitched to him. "Hannibal's" showrunner Bryan Fuller tells E! News the NBC series would like to add the rock legend to the cast. He says they've reached out to him to "see if he's interested and available."
Fuller explains that they'd like Bowie for the role of Hannibal's uncle, Count Robert Lecter. While the character was killed off in the Thomas Harris books the series is based on, Fuller says the show uses "a little bit of J.J. Abrams-style alternate universe storytelling where he could still be alive."
Bowie hasn't given a response yet to the offer.

Obama Derangement Syndrome: Hurricane Irene Edition
Research ››› ››› MELODY JOHNSON
While Hurricane Irene slammed the East Coast over the weekend, right-wing media responded by criticizing President Obama, claiming that he "politicize[d]" Irene and that his hurricane briefings were nothing more than a "pathetic" "command center photo-op." This comes days after the right-wing media's latest bout of Obama Derangement Syndrome, when they absurdly attacked Obama for being on a golf course when the East Coast earthquake struck.
"Paparazzi President At Work": Right-Wing Media Respond To Obama's Hurricane Actions
Powerline: "How To Politicize A Hurricane." In an August 27 Powerline post, John Hinderaker wrote:
It remains to be seen whether Irene turns out to be the Comet Kohoutek of hurricanes, but President Obama is taking no chances. He posed for a photo-op today, pretending to have something to do with the potentially-severe weather event.
I'm sure it's a relief to everyone on the East Coast to know that Obama is personally directing hurricane response efforts. Never mind that he isn't competent to organize a Little League baseball team; today's charade obviously is a corollary of the Hurricane Katrina fiasco, in which America's mass media committed group malpractice, somehow managing to blame the inevitable consequences of a severe weather event, magnified by incompetent local authorities in New Orleans, on the Bush administration. Obama is setting the stage to receive praise, rather than blame, no matter what actually happens between now and when Hurricane Irene blows itself out. [Powerline, 8/27/11]
Hoft: "Fail. Yahoo Readers Not Very Impressed With Obama's Command Center Photo-Op." In an August 28 Gateway Pundit post titled, "Fail. Yahoo Readers Not Very Impressed With Obama's Command Center Photo-Op," Jim Hoft Wrote:
President Downgrade cut his vacation short to make an appearance at the Hurricane Command Center for a few pictures yesterday.
Apparently, not everyone was impressed with this obvious publicity stunt.
Here is a sampling of the comments from the Yahoo report:
[Gateway Pundit, 8/28/11]
Weasel Zippers: "Fearless Leader" Gives A "Pathetic Photo-Op." In an August 27 post to Weasel Zippers titled, "Fearless Leader 'Takes Charge' At Hurricane Command Center," a picture of Obama in the hurricane command included a caption reading, "More like a pathetic photo-op." [Weasel Zippers, 8/27/11]
Hoft: "Horray [Sic]!... Obama Takes Photos Charge At Hurrricane [Sic] Command Center." In an August 27 post titled, "Horray [Sic]!... Obama Takes Photos Charge At Hurrricane [Sic] Command Center," Hoft wrote:
Obama took photos charge at the Hurricane Command Center today.
That's not exactly a picture of confidence, huh?
Feel safe yet? [Gateway Pundit, 8/27/11]
Malkin: "Paparazzi President At Work." In an August 29 blog post titled, "Paparazzi President at work," Michelle Malkin posted numerous photos from the White House Flickr feed documenting the president's Hurricane Irene briefings. Malkin further wrote:
There's one employee of the White House -- other than the Teleprompter of the United States, that is -- who never gets a break.
His name is Pete Souza. He's the official presidential photographer. Last week, Souza was hard at work making President Obama look hard at work while vacationing on Martha's Vineyard.
Souza's Twitter feed and Flickr uploads serve as Agitprop Central for all White House-approved, Behind-The-Scenes Leadership Glamour Shots. Such visual hagiography is to be expected in any administration. But the hasty frequency with which the White House "Message: I'm working here, I'm really working here" photos have been disseminated over the past few weeks is striking. In fact, it's become a running joke now on Twitter.
Candid Camera or Taxpayer-funded Campaign Camera? You decide:
Hold the phone, America! President Obama's...holding a phone.
Judging from the latest Gallup numbers, voters are not impressed. Looks like overworked White House photog Pete Souza is going to have to step up the framing and gaming of the Paparazzi President. For all the daily attempts to manufacture images of competence, strength, decisive, and leadership, this is the stubborn perception Obama's stage managers can't shake:

Biden Derangement Syndrome? Right-Wing Media Highlight Biden Golfing Before Storm
Drudge: "Biden Golfed In Hours Preceding Hurricane..." From the Drudge Report on August 28:
[Drudge Report, 8/28/11]
Fox Nation: "Biden Golfed In Hours Preceding Hurricane." On August 28, Fox Nation posted an article by Fox News chief White House correspondent Ed Henry titled, "Biden Golfed in Hours Preceding Hurricane":
Delaware was pounded by Hurricane Irene on Saturday night, but Vice President Biden got in one last round of golf in his home state before the heavy stuff started coming down, Fox News has learned.
Biden played golf at a Wilmington-area course on Saturday morning, according to two sources familiar with his schedule.
Asked directly whether Biden played golf on Saturday, Biden's office would not comment to Fox News. [Fox Nation, 8/28/11; FoxNews.com, 8/28/11]
Obama Derangement Syndrome: Right-Wing Media Repeatedly Attack Obama For Trivial Reasons
Obama Derangement Syndrome: Earthquake Edition. Following an earthquake that struck the East Coast on August 23, right-wing media attacked Obama for being on a golf course during a family vacation when the earthquake struck. [Media Matters, 8/24/11]
Obama Derangement Syndrome: Michelle Obama Uses An iPod. Right-wing media figures highlighted a photograph of first lady Michelle Obama using headphones while in her husband's presence, writing that this signified that she "doesn't seem all that happy with the man she married 19 years ago." [Media Matters, 8/22/11; The Washington Times, via Media Matters, 8/29/11]
Obama Derangement Syndrome: Happy Meals. Following McDonald's decision to offer "more nutritionally-balanced" Happy Meals and Michelle Obama's praise of its move, the right-wing media jumped to attack McDonald's for supposedly bending to the will of the "fat police" and making Happy Meals "less happy." [Media Matters, 7/27/11]
Obama Derangement Syndrome: Dijon Mustard. In May 2009, conservative media attacked Obama as an elitist because he ordered a hamburger with Dijon mustard. [Media Matters, 5/7/09]
Obama Derangement Syndrome: The Color Purple. In March 2010, conservative blogger Pamela Geller incited outrage over Obama "Flying The Gangsta Colors At The White House: SEIU, The Color Purple." Geller went on to criticize Obama's purple tie color choice, despite the fact that Obama's tie appeared to be blue, not purple. [Media Matters, 3/26/10]
Obama Derangement Syndrome: Wal-Mart Healthy Foods Initiative. In January, right-wing media accused the Obama administration of threatening or "bullying" Wal-Mart when the company announced a healthy food initiative that would make "thousands of the packaged food items that it sells more healthful and affordable by 2015," according to The Washington Post. [Media Matters, 1/21/11]
Obama Derangement Syndrome: Latin America Jobs Trip. In March, the right-wing media attacked Obama's long-planned jobs trip to Latin America as a "vacation," even though the trip was focused on economic opportunities for the U.S. and trade relationships with Latin American nations. [Media Matters, 3/18/11]
Obama Derangement Syndrome: Children's Easter Egg Roll. Also in March, Fox & Friends attacked the White House Easter Egg Roll, a family event, for making the souvenir eggs more environmentally friendly and encouraging children to exercise. [Media Matters, 3/30/11]
Obama Derangement Syndrome: Osama Bin Laden's Death. In May, The Washington Times attacked Obama following the successful raid in Pakistan that killed Osama bin Laden, complaining that he golfed before the mission took place and that he "snub[bed] Bush" in his speech following bin Laden's death.

A world-class metropolis with endless attractions and experiences to discover, NYC beckons millions of visitors every year. Whether you come here often, or it is your first time, there are a few hotspots and local treasures nobody should miss.
Here are 5 fabulous places to visit in NYC:
1. The Green Market at Union Square
On every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, local farmers, bakers and harvesters come into the Union Square Greenmarket in Manhattan, selling everything from cheese and meats to flowers and plants. Whether you are a gourmet chef with a taste for organic or naturally grown ingredients, flavors and scents, or simply love to stroll a bustling market scene munching on a homemade fresh pretzel, this is one of the best places to visit in NYC. Union Square is located on the intersection of East 14th Street, Park Avenue South and Broadway.
2. Bryant Park Movie Nights
As an expansive public park featuring flower gardens, neo-classical sculptures and popular walkways, Bryant Park in Midtown Manhattan often stands host to fun NYC attractions and events. Every Monday night during the summer, classic movies are shown for free on the big screen. Bring a blanket, some dinner and an appetite for great films and you will not be disappointed. Bryant Park is located between 40th and 42nd Streets, and Fifth and Sixth Avenues.
3. Bodies Exhibition
Few NYC attractions have received so much attention as the Bodies Exhibition, where more than 200 human specimens are showcasing the inner workings of our bodies. Dissected and preserved with an extraordinary attention to detail, each part of this exhibit stirs up excitement and awe. From hearts to tissue, everything you discover in this exhibition is likely to captivate and keep you thinking for a long time to come. The Bodies Exhibition is held in downtown Manhattan, at the South Street Seaport Exhibition Centre on Fulton Street.
4. Row Boats on the Central Park Lake
From March through to October, those who seek the ultimate Central Park experience can row boats on the Central Park Lake. Romantic for couples and fun for friends, this is a NYC attraction that visitors have loved since the 19th century. Rowing on the tranquil lake is a special treat on those summer days when the lawns are full and the walkways busy – an adventure within your adventure if you like. Rentals are open at the Loeb Boathouse between 10am and 5pm every day, and up to five people fit in a boat.
5. Ride Across the Hudson River on the Staten Island Ferry
For some of the best views of Lower Manhattan, Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, jump on the free Staten Island Ferry. A 25-minute ride takes you from Manhattan to Staten Island, with a backdrop of high-rises, New York Harbor, and more. The ferry runs 24 hours per day, all rides are free and the wait is rarely very long. Find the Staten Island Ferry on Whitehall Street and Water Street, right by the edge of the water in downtown Manhattan. Apart from all of the above, the best thing about NYC is the shopping. Streets, avenues and alleys are peppered with everything from department stores to tiny boutiques. When you are here, always make sure to include a stop at a Sabon NYC store for some superb fragrance and bath accessories.

Washington's aerospace industry and its boosters won some and lost some during this year's lengthy legislative session in Olympia.
There were victories in workforce training and education and certain tax exemptions that benefit maintenance, repair and overhaul companies like Everett's Aviation Technical Services. But transportation, a key priority for the industry as oft-mentioned by Gov. Jay Inslee, fell by the wayside on the final day of the session last weekend.
Linda Lanham, executive director of the Aerospace Futures Alliance, an industry lobbying group, overall was upbeat about the implications for the state's aerospace supply chain.
"I think we did really well," Lanham said, noting successes on workforce training and the aforementioned tax exemption. "We got several bills that helped a lot of the suppliers."
As for how the state's largest aerospace company, Boeing, might view the session, Lanham wasn't optimistic. The lobbyist expressed disappointment that a compromise couldn't be reached on pollution standards on water discharged by large facilities like Boeing's Renton and Everett factories. Boeing and other aerospace companies were pushing for a study on fish consumption to re-examine whether tougher standards are actually necessary.
"I'd be concerned about what kind of message that sends Chicago," home of Boeing's corporate headquarters, "about our competitiveness," Lanham said.
Here's a look at the Legislature's aerospace-related action, and inaction, this year in Olympia:
Passed: Workforce development, tax exemptions
In February, Inslee addressed the industry for the first time as governor, speaking to about 400 aerospace leaders at a conference in Lynnwood.
"The most important thing I can do is to provide skilled workers to you," he told them.
And the Legislature came through on many education and workforce training initiatives supported by the aerospace industry:
•$5 million for an aerospace training facility in Renton.
$300,000 in grants for 12 high schools to launch aerospace assembly programs this year.
Up to $2.5 million to continue a student loan program for aerospace training at institutions such as the Washington Aerospace Training and Research Center at Paine Field in Everett.
More than $100 million to build facilities for science, technology, engineering and math education at state universities and community colleges.
$3 million to fund the Joint Center for Aerospace Technology Innovation, which promotes collaboration between the industry and Washington's research centers.
Meanwhile, lawmakers exempted non-resident-owned aircraft from sales and use taxes, a move that will benefit Aviation Technical Services at Paine Field. The state wasn't collecting those taxes anyway because private aircraft owners from out of state would fly their jets elsewhere for repair work rather than pay Washington's taxes.
"That was a tough one to get passed," Lanham said.
Lawmakers also exempted large aircraft in storage from state property tax, which should create jobs in Moses Lake. Lanham estimates as many as 300 jobs could be created, though she cautioned it wouldn't happen immediately.
No action: Transportation, fish study, workers comp
Early in the session, Inslee added transportation as a top priority for addressing the needs of the aerospace industry. On Wednesday, he expressed disappointment in Senate majority leaders for not seeing to passage of a $10 billion transportation package.
"Senate leaders failed to deliver one of the most critical job-creation and economic-development investments — a comprehensive transportation plan," Inslee said.
Workers compensation reform also has long been on the industry's list of wants from Washington lawmakers. That didn't happen this session, noted lobbyist Lanham.
Another point of contention for the industry was the failure to pass a study on fish consumption by Washingtonians. The study would have taken another look at whether tougher policies were needed on pollutants discharged in water by industrial facilities like Boeing's factories in Everett and Renton.
"I thought waiting six months to do that study wasn't asking a lot," Lanham said.

My Reasons Why
Tonight I spoke with the grandfather of a friend of mine after a basketball game. The game had just ended, and we were standing around, waiting for the team to emerge from the locker room, making the usual sort of losing team whiny small talk that one might expect, when a cheerleader walked by. We had seen her all night, selling raffle tickets, flirting with the guys' team, doing her cheer thing, but mostly, we saw her wearing that uniform.
Now at the end of the game, she's walking to her locker room, minding her own business, and this sweet little old man looks at me and comments, "I guess she likes that uniform." "Uh I guess so" was all I could say, not really feeling …
