(although in this first picture it looks to be a little thick,
but maybe the entire web collapsed in on itself & became one long thread.)
that's a great shot of the web and spinning leaf and, as always, gorgeous lady moon xReplyDelete
Lovely photo of the moon--and it always so neat to watch dangling leaves...amazing how strong spiderwebs are!ReplyDelete
Really . . . REALLY . . . stunning photos . . . Amazing moon shot!ReplyDelete
I love the moon, too!
Very nice.
I think you take amazing photos. But if you put it out there to the universe, and you believe in it, that Rebel will be yours. A rebel for a rebel.ReplyDelete
Wiatr wieje i liść się kręci jak na karuzeli. Może jest nawet z tego zadowolony. Pozdrawiam.
The wind blows and the leaf is spinning like a carousel. Maybe he's even happy with it. Yours.
I do love your moon shots.ReplyDelete
i posted moon shots today, too! :)
love the cord that leave is tied to. quite a well-twisted web.
Great series!ReplyDelete
Wow we have the same camera are they not the most amazing?
LOVE LOVE love your shots. Hope all is weel. Hugs B
The leaves have landed well- looks like more swinging fun than just becoming moosh on the forest floor. I too have yearnings for a Rebel - I keep looking online to see if the prices have gone down...nope, they have not. Your moon shot is amazing- Had to show it to my husband- he has all sorts of astronomy equipment and cameras and rarely gets a shot this clear.The leaf shots are my faves- nearly of all time! Great!ReplyDelete
Hello Laura, Beautiful pictures and I'm still dreaming too
Beautiful the moon. Not bad, ha ha, its bloody amazing.ReplyDelete
Love your photos. Love the poem. Love the Albert Camus quote. I will try to remember, "every leaf is a flower" as I rake and rake and brush them from my face in the wind. I hope you get your camera wish. Although a Canon Powershot is an excellent camera. I've got one and, even though I enjoy shooting with my Nikon, the Powershot is still so handy.ReplyDelete
Agree with you totally that the PowerShot is outstanding. Was my first camera as well. Please have you all a good weekend.ReplyDelete
your moon photos are amazing
you have an eye
no need for fancy camera tools
I like Albert Camus especially in Le Petit Prince. You have a dope camera. Hope you're well.ReplyDelete
The spinning leaf was really cool!
Your Cannon Power Shot has waaay better magnification than mine. Yours is awesome!!
Have a great weekend, dear lady!! :)
Amazing set of photos,....just great!
Great pic of those leaves!ReplyDelete
I'm going to watch for spinners like that, Babe!...:)JPReplyDelete
That fall leaf just doesn't want to fall ;-)ReplyDelete
Laura, beautiful images of the leaves! And I love your moon shots. I also have the Canon powershot and love it. Have a happy Sunday!ReplyDelete
Gah! I'm at the bottom of your list today! Love the leaf photos! Cameras get more complicated for me. I've heard of the macro thingy, guess I'm just glad to get a good shot. But, you do get the best moon shots! And, yes, in the fall, every leaf is a flower...love that quote (sticking up for autumn weather)! A great post Laura!
Just been toolin' around all weekend. Started a new blog for Karo...'Rockabillrock'! We'll see how it goes. Hope your week goes cooly!♥
I love these leaf shots - it shows how strong those spiders webs are doesn't it?
Your moon shot is fab - I use a powershot too and I love it. It's a great wee camera. :)
Love those strong webs! And agree that it is amazing what the point and shoots can do.....gorgeous moon and reminds me to try to get a full or fullish moon shot early this week (if it isn't too cloudy).ReplyDelete
THANKS everybody!!!! wow, there sure are a lot of PowerShot people!! this camera is the best digital i've ever owned! i LOVE it!! the only real complaint i have is that all the shades of purple...look blue! oh well, ya can't have everything! =)
have a great day!
That is amazing that you got that luna photo with your point and click. i struggle on times with my 70-200 lens on the Nikon.
P.S dont by a Canon, Nikon all the way !!;)
Have a fab day
unbelieveable shot with a P&S! I use Canon cameras too :-) Love the image of the leaves...I can picture them slowly twisting in the wind.
btw...the new header is gorgeous! I thought the one mushroom had a googly eye!
Belas fotografias...Espectacular....
We both have the same camera. The point and shoot surprisingly takes better movies and moon shots. The Canon Rebel is much trickier and I stopped doing shots with that camera. I continue to use the point and shoot for those space shots. Very beautiful. Isn't it surprising how strong a spider web can be?
Hope you had a great weekend full of fun and relaxation.
I LOVE that quote, for autumn is indeed spring in a new dress. And don't even try saying anything about getting a "better" camera. I wish I had something as powerful as you do. My old digital silliness can't even really capture the moon *sniff, sniff*ReplyDelete

Micro-Tip: Using Subclipse on macOS with Homebrew
If you install Eclipse on macOS and then install the Subclipse plug-in, you might be surprised to see an error about missing JavaHL bindings for Subversion.
Subclipse uses the official Java to C bindings provided by the Subversion team. On macOS these aren't installed by default. If you use Homebrew to install open source software on macOS (and I highly recommend it), then just installing Subversion won't give them to you either.
So, to install Subversion using Homebrew and get the JavaHL bindings necessary for Subclipse, use this line:
brew install --universal --java subversion
This will create the 32 and 64 bit versions (–universal) and the JavaHL bindings (–java). So, regardless of whether you're running Eclipse in 32-bit or 64-bit you should have the appropriate JavaHL bindings.
When Homebrew finishes building Subversion and the JavaHL bindings it will display this:
You may need to link the Java bindings into the Java Extensions folder:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libsvnjavahl-1.dylib /Library/Java/Extensions
There's no "you may" about it. Go ahead and run the
sudo command. That will
place the link to the JavaHL bindings in the macOS Java extension library. Now
Subclipse should automatically start working. You don't even need to restart
Eclipse if you had it running.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!
There is an article in the Rutland Herald all about how we got started. I want to give a special thanks to Joanna Tebbs Young for making this series possible. You can read it below or if you are a subscriber, click this link.
One of the most exciting things about planning our upcoming production is working out the details for our trip to the National Gallery of Art. For those who don't know, we have been invited Orpheus and Euridice to the Gallery's concert series. We will do two performances- September 10th and 11th.
You may ask "how did that happen?" Well it was pretty simple really. In January 2015, I was attending a conference in NYC and had the great pleasure of seeing Danielle Hahn, whom I met when she was a repetiteur (that's opera for rehearsal pianist and vocal coach) and I was a stage manager. We worked together in opera as well as a few temp jobs in between gigs until we both married, started families, and moved on to steadier employment.
Last January the idea for VTOP's production of Orpheus was in its infancy. I knew we needed a pianist and I knew Danielle was a good one, so I asked her if she would play it for us. Then I told her all about the project. At the time we were still dreaming about opera in a quarry. I told her all about history of the quarries and the marble industry in Vermont; how we wanted to tie the story of Orpheus to the idea of monuments and the memorializing of the dead. I told her about how many of monuments in DC were created from the marble in Vermont.
I had forgotten that she worked in music programming at the Gallery until she got this look on her face and said "You know, the connection between DC and Vermont and the history and the marble. This is exactly the sort of thing I am trying to bring to the Gallery". And so the idea was born.
The Gallery is generously underwriting our performances, so we just need your help to build it here. It is a tremendous opportunity for us to celebrate something good from Rutland on the national stage. Please consider a donation today!
dancers needed
Things are starting to really get moving for VTOP. We will be holding auditions for dancers on April 2nd. Information below.
This August we will be presenting our first fully staged opera Orpheus and Euridice by Ricky Ian Gordon at the Marble Museum in Proctor, Vermont. We have been invited by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC to perform September 10 and 11, 2016.
It is a small opera with Soprano, Clarinetist, and 4 dancers (2 male, 2 female). We are looking for modern dancers with a strong ballet core. The dancers will serve as a Greek chorus and will be an integral part of our production. Here are the details:
April 2, 2016
11:30-2:30 at Trinity Episcopal Church, 85 West Street in Rutland
Director/Choreographer: Keturah Stickann
Rehearsals would begin July 27, 2016. Rehearsals would be held in Rutland and Proctor.
Performances August 12 and 13, 2016 at the Marble Museum in Proctor
National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC: Travel Sept 8-12. Performances Sept 10-11, 2016
This is a paid position. Dancers must be available for both Vermont and DC.
Please RSVP to email@example.com

You might shy away from the word 'fat' if you are aiming to eat a more healthy diet. However, the body does need some dietary fat to help with the absorption of nutrients and to provide and store energy. There is a difference between 'bad' fats – which are not good for you – and 'good' fats, which your body needs. Want to know how you can consume more of these good fats? Interested in eating a delicious fruit that contains these good fats – and nearly 20 vitamins and minerals as well? Then eat more avocados!
One-third of a medium avocado, which is a 50g serving, contains 6g of naturally good fat. This 6g of good fat is made up of 5g of monounsaturated fat and 1g of polyunsaturated fat. Here's what monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat can do for you:
Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats or "good fats" can help improve intake of dietary fat without raising LDL or "bad" cholesterol levels. The American Heart Association and The Dietary Guideline for Americans recommend replacing bad fats with these good fats. They say that replacing your intake of saturated fat, with unsaturated fat is associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease events.
Here's some other reasons why you need to eat fat as part of a healthy, balanced diet:
Avocados and Good Fats: Get the Scoop
The word "fat" has a seriously bad rap. While it's true that "bad fats" get labeled as such because they tend to raise "bad" (LDL) cholesterol levels, potentially increasing the risk of heart disease, there are also "good fats" that benefit the body. In fact, our bodies need fat. Fat is a major source of energy that helps us absorb nutrients from foods — foods like avocados.
Read on to understand the role of good fats, how to tell good fats from bad, and to learn why avocados are an ideal source of good fats.
Fats Primer
Those bad fats you read about earlier? They're known as saturated (and trans fats), while the good ones are unsaturated (or mono and polyunsaturated) fats. The latter don't raise LDL cholesterol and are beneficial when consumed in moderation, because smart eating isn't just about lowering the total fat intake through our diets. Instead, look at how you can replace saturated fatty acids with unsaturated fatty acids.
How Good Fats Help and How Avocados Deliver Naturally
Apart from being a delicious, versatile, and easy-to-enjoy fruit, avocados are a source of good fats. This is important because good fats help the body absorb fat-soluble nutrients without raising LDL cholesterol levels. Basically, it helps you nourish your body without the side effects that "bad fats" bring with them.
Phytosterols are plant sterols naturally found in plants that are molecularly similar to animal cholesterol. In the intestine, research has shown that they can act to lower the absorption of cholesterol. According to the FDA, 2 grams of phytosterols per day may help maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
Avocados contribute phytosterols to the diet. Avocados contain 23 milligrams of beta-sitosterol per 1-oz. serving. Beta-sitosterol is one of the three predominant phytosterols found in plants. These compounds may help maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
As if this wasn't enough, avocados are a naturally cholesterol-free food and provide 8 percent of your recommended daily value of fiber.
If you already have an active lifestyle, you'll probably be aware of the importance of potassium. It's an electrolyte, something that needs to be replaced as your body sweats during a workout. Potassium also helps build muscle, as well as break down and use carbohydrates. With each one ounce serving of avocado packing 150 milligrams of potassium, you're more likely to stay full and energized throughout the day.
Avocados also make a terrific substitute for other fats if you're trying to cut down on calories. Current dietary guidelines, based on elements of the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan developed by the National Institutes of Health, advocate eating more plant-based foods. With a focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish, poultry, nuts, and reduced fats (including saturated fat and cholesterol), the DASH approach, combined with exercise, may help a number of health issues, including weight loss, lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and lower risks of hypertension, as well as Type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.
Eating better doesn't have to involve a compromise — especially when you're adding the tropical goodness of avocados. Buen provecho!
When it comes to eating fat, remember that the body needs some fat to function but you should consume it in moderation. Aim to replace those bad fats with good fats, like monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat.
While many factors affect heart disease, eating fruits and vegetables, such as avocados, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease. Since avocados are heart-healthy fruits and virtually the only fruit with monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat, try to consume more as part of a healthy, balanced diet. Healthy avocados can act as a nutrient booster as they help the body to absorb fat-soluble nutrients like vitamins A, D, K and E. They have 80 calories per 50g serving of a medium avocado and the fiber they contain will even help keep hunger at bay. Avocados have 11 percent of your daily value per serving. Try incorporating avocados in your diet by making a delicious guacamole, dicing it in a salad, in a sandwich or blended in a smoothie. Take a look at our recipes to find out more.

Premier Estates Win Customer Service Award
Macclesfield's Premier Estates have been recognised as industry leaders again at the spectacular annual property management award ceremony held at The Troxy, London; hosted by celebrity Dominic Holland.
Many of the biggest names in property management attended the sold-out event held on the 6th December 2012, and a huge amount of entries were received, giving the independent judging panel plenty to consider.
Premier Estates were nominated for three award categories and were shortlisted as finalists for all three nominations:
• Customer Service
• Property Management Company of the Year
• Managing Agent of an RMC/RTM Block (Resident Management Companies)
Customer service is at the heart of Premier Estates' fundamental operation and is a relatively new award category. The company was therefore delighted to be judged as clear winners in this sector, proving beyond doubt that the services provided are second to none.
Ben Jordan, Managing Director of Premier Estates, said:
"Premier Estates was founded with the aim of becoming the leading company in the property management industry, by offering an unparalleled level of customer service. I am very proud that the high standards that we consistently deliver have been recognised through this award.
The Premier' team follow our Customer Service Charter which outlines key actions, but most importantly insists that 'promises made - must be kept'. Every member of our team adheres to this charter, setting realistic client expectations, communicating effectively and delivering the best possible service as promised.
Beyond all other awards, this is the one that means the most to us and reflects our genuine desire to exceed our clients' expectations. I am delighted!"
Premier Estates has an enviable history of award recognition, having been nominated as a finalist every year since the award ceremonies' inception and winning more property management awards outright than any other managing agent - including the overall property management company of the year.
This success rounds off a great year for Ben Jordan & Premier Estates. Ben was appointed as the Chairman of the Association of Residential Managing Agents (ARMA) earlier in the year, and Premier Estates has recently opened a London office following their selection at a number of landmark schemes.
It is no surprise therefore that Premier' get top honors again, consistently pushing the boundaries of what is possible. What will next year bring for this innovative and customer focused company? Watch this space.

My grandmother passed away Thursday. She was 85 years old but had left us years earlier, if only in her mind. My last memory of her was a visit at the nursing home. She didn't remember who I was. That's a rather unsatisfying memory for someone who can remember spending special moments alone with her when I was a young girl.
Searching back a little further, I can remember the last time she came to a family function at my dad's house. She was frail and confused. Her face lit up with joy as she leaned forward to tell me a secret. "I've found this great new thing," she confided. Looking down, I saw her patting the pocket of her pants. As if telling me about an incredible scientific discovery, she continued, "They call them pockets, and… you can put stuff in them."
I wasn't sure if she was serious or not. That was a problem we all had there near the end of her cognizant time. We never quite knew if she was truly delusional or if she was playing us.
I can't say for sure, but I believe that of all the grandchildren, I perhaps had the closest relationship with her. That could just be egocentric on my part, I will admit. I've never been very good at being aware of what's going on in other people's lives.
Grandma had three children and five grandchildren. Four of the grandchildren through my dad and one through my uncle, who moved across the country when his daughter was still a baby. My aunt, a wonderful woman, a librarian who gave me autographed books for presents, never had children and predeceased her mother a decade ago. I'm fairly certain that none of my brothers ever hung out at her house, just them and her. I did.
There was a wall at one end of the living room/dining room that was mirrored tile. The dining table sat in front of it. Some of my earliest memories at that house involved the extended family, including my uncle, sitting at the table, playing Uno. My dad was very competitive and my uncle liked to chide him. Sometimes we'd strategically play Reverse cards, just so Dad never got a turn.
My dad's family was always a gaming family. Grandma had some wonderful old games. I loved going to her house to play them. One involved wooden blocks and a wrecking ball of sorts that you used to knock down the blocks. Another was a pumped-up version of hangman. They were stored in a little cabinet near the bathroom.
I can't remember if I ever spent the night at Grandma's house. I do remember spending time with just her, sitting at that table, playing games and talking. To hear her tell it, she had not had a particularly happy life prior to meeting my grandfather, a man I never met because he died long before I was born. Her stories of mistreatment were fantastical, enough so that, looking back as an adult, I am uncertain whether to believe them.
How much her husband loved her was always a strong component of the tales. He adored her and treated her like a princess. When he'd return from being out-of-town and the children would clamor for gifts, he always told them that she came first. He would hug and gift her before turning to them. Or so the story goes.
It doesn't matter to me whether the stories are true. What matters is the memory of sitting there and listening to them. We loved our private time. We would conspiratorially talk about running away together or hiding me in the closet when it was time for dad to come pick me up. We had something special there for a while.
Teenage years change a person and I guess I became too busy for Grandma. Once I had the means to drive myself, I no longer seemed to find the time or desire. Looking back, I think Grandma was in many ways like a child. So perhaps our connection split when I ceased to be one myself. I don't know.
My husband and I used to go to her house each year when I discovered she wasn't setting up her Christmas tree. He would setup the tree and then go to sleep in a chair while Grandma and I decorated it and visited. It wasn't the same as when I was a child, but I think the visits were meaningful to her.
Still, regrets and mistakes are difficult to forget. Sometimes we think we've dealt with them. We think we've put them away, moved on. We maybe even think we've forgiven ourselves. And then something happens that makes us face them again. How many wounds can we hide in ourselves? Hide even from ourselves?
I got married at 18. We went to the courthouse, without telling anyone. My mom found out, so she and my step-dad were there. But almost no one else knew beforehand. That means that in the days to follow, we had to call all of our extended family to tell them. To say it wasn't easy for me is putting it mildly.
We sat beside each other, often holding hands, and took turns. He would call someone and they would respond warmly and congratulate him. I'd call someone and they would respond with silence or admonition. As the calls went on, I sank lower and lower and lower. I didn't want to call anyone else. So once I had contacted all the people I was likely to encounter, I stopped. I knew there were two more people I should call, but I couldn't pick up the phone anymore.
One of those was my great-grandmother on my mother's side, another wonderful woman who I spent time with as a child. The other was my paternal grandmother. I loved both women so much but wanted to avoid more abuse, not that either was likely to give me any. I thought maybe I'd call them later, when I wasn't so down. I never did.
Grandma found out I was married when she saw a church newsletter that listed my rather unique first name with a new last name as having a birthday. She knew my birthday and she knew my name. And now she knew I was married. And that I hadn't told her. I can still hear the hurt in her voice. If she had ever wondered whether we still had that special connection, she knew then that we did not.
Regrets. And reminders. We will bury her on Monday, January 7th. My 20th wedding anniversary. Regrets and reminders, what a bittersweet day that will be.

The increasing demand for Morocco's edible argan oil is providing economic and social benefits for rural communities but threatening the health and future of native argan forests.
Argan oil is derived from the seeds of the deciduous argan tree fruit. The oil is highly sought for culinary, cosmetic and medicinal purposes and can cost as much as $300 a litre.
The argan forests are most threatened by goats which climb the argan trees to eat the leaves. The more money people make from selling oil, the more goats they can buy.Read more at University of California Davis

The Beauty
"The Beauty" is one of the best preserved ancient terracotta figures in the world. It was made in the early 3rd century BC and was found in the vicinity of Athens. In contrast to most other clay figurines, the surface of which suffered from being buried in the moist ground, it still has its original delicate colouring.
Her brown hair is gathered back into what is known as a melon hairstyle. Over her sleeveless chiton, or undergarment, she wears a gauzy, pale yellow cloak with a wide, blue border, through which her flesh-coloured arms shimmer.
The fullness of the garment does not invite fast movements, but calls instead for elegance and body control. This appropriate demeanour is demonstrated here in exemplary manner by a young bourgeois daughter of marriageable age.
Such terracotta figures were found in Greek graves in great numbers. It is not quite clear what their purpose was. Were they favourite personal items of the deceased or gifts from the bereaved?

Jerusalem: Art City
Jerusalem: Art City
Jerusalem: city of gold, is also a city of arts and culture. The Jerusalem Arts Festival highlights the exciting cultural opportunities that Jerusalem has to offer.
On Tuesday, the festival kicked off at the Jerusalem Theater, with a breath-taking performance, "One, One, and One", by Vertigo Dance Company. The piece was an extended musing on the nature of movement itself, on art as manipulation, and on the corporeality of human existence and social boundaries. The physical dexterity and tight choreography wove a mesmerizing tale across the stage.
Although not officially part of the festival, the Beit Alliance Birthday Party, celebrating one year since New Spirit opened its arts hub in an abandoned school next to Mahane Yehuda, was the place to see and be seen for young artists, as well as activists from the city's social scene. A human-sized birthday cake, live music, and tours and crafts workshops at the different studios peppered throughout the house made for a fun evening.
The festival continues tonight, with a one-woman show by Moran Aviv from the Pandora Collective, as well as a free lecture at Beita on the connection between the visual and literary arts, seen through the prism of story-telling.
These events are part of the profound urban renewal taking place in the city center; the Jerusalem Foundation is proud to be a part of downtown Jerusalem's cultural renaissance, as part of its ongoing efforts to shape a modern, vibrant metropolis.

Part 2 (Attacks D, E) due: Tuesday, Nov. 26, 23:59
For clarifications and hints, see the FAQ, originally developed for Stanford CS 155.
Setting up Boxes on your own machine: Download the BoxesX virtual machine image, BoxesX.ova (warning: 600 MB!). Note that this is not the same VM image as the one in previous projects, so you should not use those VMs. The ova file should load into VirtualBox. Once the BoxesX VM is running, you will want to start X and run the Iceweasel browser, as described below.
The Web server serving the Zoobar site you will be attacking is hosted inside the VM. (If you try to connect to zoobar.org outside the VM, you will get Stanford's site, which you should not try to interact with.) Furthermore, the Web browser you'll use to develop and test your attacks is also hosted inside the VM. It is called Iceweasel.
Iceweasel is the Debian version of Firefox—essentially the same browser, but with a different name because of licensing issues. To start iceweasel in BoxesX, log in as user, and do the following:
startx command. This will start the X
Windowing System, and a new window will be displayed with a
xterm (shell) where you can enter commands. (Click the mouse
to place the window.)
iceweasel & within the newly displayed xterm.
This will open the Iceweasel browser. (Again, click the mouse
to place the window.)
http://zoobar.org/ to
connect to the Zoobar site.
The easiest way to access your VM from the host computer is with SSH. VirtualBox's networking rules do not by default allow incoming connections to the VM, but you can set up a port forwarding rule, as follows. In the settings window for the BoxesX VM, choose the "Network" tab, then show the "Advanced" options, and click the "Port Forwarding" button to bring up the port forwarding rules dialog.
In this dialog, you should see a rule binding port 8024 of localhost (127.0.0.1) on the host to port 22 on the VM. If this rule is not present, or if you would like to use a different port on the host, you can change the configuration and click OK.
With port forwarding enabled, you can SSH into your VM using a
command like "
ssh user@localhost -p 8024".
Note that if you also used port forwarding on port 8024 for project 2, SSH
will get very upset, because the new VM's key is different and
SSH suspects a man-in-the-middle attack. It will tell you what line
~/.ssh/known_hosts is responsible, and you can
delete this line and try again.
As with any project, you will want to make and keep frequent backups
of your work. If you are developing your code in
user' home directory inside the VM, then an easy

Suppose you have set up port forwarding so that port 8024 on the
host forwards to port 22 on the VM. And suppose you'd like to
back up into a directory called
bkp123 in your home
directory. Run the following command on the host:
rsync -av -e "ssh -p 8024" user@localhost:/home/user/ ~/bkp123/
If you run this command again later it will update the contents
bkp123 to match the contents of

To restore from backup, run the following command, again from the host:
rsync -av -e "ssh -p 8024" ~/bkp123/ user@localhost:/home/user/
The fictional "Zoobar Foundation" has set up a simple
Web application at
zoobar.org (inside the BoxesX
VM), allowing registered users to post profiles and transfer
"zoobar" credits between each other. Each registered user
starts with 10 zoobars.
You will craft a series of attacks on
zoobar.org that
exploit vulnerabilities in the Website's design. Each attack
presents a distinct scenario with unique goals and constraints,

Although many real-world attackers do not have the source code for
the Websites they are attacking, you are one of the lucky ones: you
can find the source code under
/var/zoobar/www in the
BoxesX VM.
The zoobar server is actually run locally on each of your boxes. We will run your attacks after wiping clean our own local database of registered users (except the user named "attacker"). Of course this means that any data you have added while working on the assignment will not be present during grading.

Iceweasel is essentially the same browser as Firefox, but under different branding. Anything that works in iceweasel will likely work in (the same version of) Firefox as well.

server-side script to automatically email information captured by
your client-side JavaScript to your user account within the

The last two attacks are harder than the first three. We encourage you to start early!
Each attack is worth up to 4 points. The entire project will be graded out of 20.
Beware of Race Conditions: Depending on how you write your code, all five of these attacks could potentially have race conditions that affect the success of your attacks. Attacks that fail on the grader's browser during grading will receive less than full credit. To ensure that you receive full credit, you should wait after making an outbound network request rather than assuming that the request will be sent immediately.

The Lady Knights softball team ended the 2015 season with a record of 57-5. Former players Mari-Beth Baker (Mississippi State) and Cameron Redding (Troy) returned to campus for the presentation. Three former teammates who are now playing at the collegiate level were unable to attend. Outfielder and pitcher Deven Kennedy will be playing at Florida International University in Miami in the spring. Bailey Singleton, MVP in the state tournament, will be pitching for the University of Montevallo this season, and Jordan Amerson, MEA catcher, will continue her softball career at University of North Carolina – Charlotte. Under the leadership of Coach Glynn Lott, this year's team will remain a strong contender in the AISA AA division as they strive for five in 2016.

Media Training Testimonials
Roger is not only one of the most professional Media Trainers I had the pleasure to work with. His ongoing endeavor to take a deep dive into other cultures and learning methodologies makes him an invaluable partner in training multinational and diverse groups.
Udo Becker MD, Hill Knowlton Strategies, Germany
I had the pleasure to be media trained by Roger twice – definitely the best and most useful training of the several I`ve had. His expertise, approach and training methods are just superb, and he`s always pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Roger as a trainer for anyone who needs to master his/her skills in dealing with the international media.
Minna Sundelin, Nord Stream, Finland
For the first time in my professional career I received media training. Roger said that the training would prove useful not only for TV and Press Interviews but also in other professional areas. He was exactly right. I have used the techniques during complex and strategically important authority hearings and in discussions with international governmental ministries.
Simon Bonnell, Partner, StreamTec Solutions AG, Switzerland
A really key point that Roger made me aware of for TV interviews was to start the answer with my conclusion. Often you don't get time on TV to say much more. I found the same advice works really well in meetings and conferences too. My work can involve interviewing Heads of State and Diplomats. Roger's training also gave me some really good tips on how to do this effectively.

ZCD's proposals for a new Airport City outside Manchester: Airport-City Crown
ZCD Architects
Dinah Bornat and Cordula Weisser
ZCD Architects is a seven-strong team of architects and assistants. We are working on a range of projects from commercial to arts and residential. We promote an investigative approach to our work, including primary research and prototype builds, through our design studios at the University of East London and BrightonUniversity.
Design approach
The artificiality of a business park 'city' inserted between the airport and the suburb of Wythenshawe calls for an unexpected gesture. Our proposal is reinterpreting BrunoTaut's notion of the City Crown, championing the use of an individual structure to 'define and affect the planning of an entire city' – a communal centre, in a way, modelled after the medieval cathedral.
Here, we propose to use archetypal forms: part roofs, terraces, steps, ramps and amphitheatre; part park, slopes and riverbank to create an artificial hilltop as the 'crown'. With the diverted stream creating a moat in a valley and the hill to be climbed and sledged down, we propose a distinct hierarchy of routes and pathways open for appropriation from Wythenshawe's residents and businesses alike.
The spaces in between and over the buildings become places of a more civic nature, with the workspaces set into terraced levels allowing space for exploration, thought and conversations.
During the long process of development, the site itself will become established as the heart and as a place for delight with views over, to and from Wythenshawe and Manchester in the distance.
Crit notes
Ruairidh Jackson It feels like it is pretty powerful, and the hill that faces Wythenshawe is strong. Creating some sort of topography on such a bland site is interesting. It would require a lot of confidence to fund this scheme.
Michel Mossessian There are similarities with the Ollier Smurthwaite scheme. Where that looks too little like a building, yours looks too much like a building.
Rory Olcayto It looks as though you are directly engaging Wythenshawe. The first thing that happens here is not a building. It's disrupting the myth of inclusiveness.
Phil Doyle The landscape scheme is stronger than the building concept.
60 seconds with ZCD
What do you think of when you hear the words 'business park'?
Cars, glass, large floorplates. Lifeless, uninteresting.
And when you hear the words 'airport city'?
The weaving of international and local, issues of ownership. Redefining the city. It makes me think of an airport that is more than an airport. Which is rather troubling.
What is the single most appealing aspect of the site and masterplan?
The only thing that can be taken is the bits of nature. It has opportunities with extreme changes that might be an opportunity, rather than flattening everything. It looks like Wythenshawe is ringed by nondescript green spaces. This is one of them; a buffer between a place to live and a big airport. It can have a secondary use as well. A gap between where you live and the airport.
In one sentence, sum up how you are bringing the site to life.
It's a mountain, city and valley in the space of a car park – a crown for the airport city.
Which Manchester pop song sums up your approach?
'Step On' by the Happy Mondays.

I'd like the ability to change passwords for my users. I was told that this functionality existed at one point but was removed because a customer complained that it was being abused. If that's true, I think removing the feature is a ridiculously inappropriate reaction.
I suggest that all Administrators should be able to change passwords, and for every other role, a checkbox for "Can change user passwords" should be created. This would give granular control over the change password action without globally removing a very necessary and convenient feature that the entire world embraces.
I'm talking about MD here, so not every manager is a technically gifted juggernaut. Why I can't change passwords is absolutely baffling to me. Furthermore, if a user locks their account out, I can't unlock it, and neither can SD support. And, the lockout period increases with each successive lockout. All things I would not choose for my organization. I feel like the security model was built to suit one customer and everybody else must fit into that container.

Introduction of Bangkok:
Bangkok has dominated Thailand's urban hierarchy, as well as its political, commercial and cultural life, since the late 18th century. Bangkok can be divided into two parts by the main north-south train line - Old Bangkok and New Bangkok. Old Bangkok glitters in the portion between the river and the railway and it is here that most of the older temples and the original palace are located. The new Bangkok is east of the railway, covering many times more area than the old city. It incorporates the main commercial and tourist districts, which give way to a vast residential sprawl.
Key Attractions of Thailand :
Royal Grand Palace :
The Royal Grand Palace is a glittering walled complex that houses several palaces, all highly decorated with tiles and ceramics. Building was begun in 1782 when Bangkok was founded as the capital of Thailand. The complex houses Wat Phra Kaeo, the holiest of all Thai temples, where the sacred Emerald Buddha rests, not covered in emeralds but jade. There is even a scale model of Angkor Wat. There is a strict dress code and visitors wearing shorts, mini-skirts, sleeveless shirts or flip-flops will be refused entry, although it is possible to hire trousers and plastic shoes.
National Museum :
One of the largest and most comprehensive museums in the region, the National Museum houses a vast collection of artifacts from the neolithic period through to more recent periods. The building, begun in 1782, is fascinating in its own right, having been built in traditional Thai style. The museum is so large that it needs more than one visit, but if time is short it must be spent in the lovely teak pavilion, which houses personal royal belongings. Free guided tours are given by volunteers at 0930 on Wednesdays and Thursdays and are highly recommended.
Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha)
Wat Pho is the oldest and largest temple in Bangkok and houses an enormous gold-plated Reclining Buddha, which is 46m (150ft) long and 15m (49ft) high. Today, it is also renowned for its teaching of herbal medicine and traditional massage.
The other attractions include include Wat Phra Kaew and the Grand Palace and Wat Traimit. Wat Traimit is the Temple of the Golden Buddha, home to the impressive 3m tall, 5 1/2-tonne solid-gold Buddha image and how can you forget Jim Thompson's House . Other sights include the touristy Wat Sai floating market in Thonburi, a boat trip through the city's extensive and pongy network of canals (klongs), the Saovabha Institute Snake Farm and the renowned Oriental Hotel.
Night life :
Bangkok has the reputation of a "city of sin," and it's certainly true that commercial sex is not difficult to find. Much of Bangkok's nightlife is concentrated in the two red light districts of Bangkok - Patpong (between Silom and Surawong Roads) and Soi Cowboy (Sukhumvit). Bangkok's sex industry is as blatant and booming as ever. However, in addition to the numerous sex clubs and massage parlours, there are many excellent cocktail bars and restaurants and, at night, the area is always thronging with people.
Shopping :
Bangkok is arguably the best place in Asia for shopping and visitors will be spoilt for choice with the extensive shopping malls, department stores, small shops and markets. The city is also a bargain hunter's paradise and haggling with street vendors is to be expected and all part of the fun enjoyed by both buyer and seller. The Silom Road area is one of the main shopping centres, which boasts numerous specialist shops and department stores, including Robinsons, several shopping plazas and a wide range of silk and antique shops, as well as many tailors. The ultimate shopping experience is to be had at The Emporium on Sukhumvit with brand-name clothing and accessories, as well as cinemas, supermarkets and restaurants.

Soon to be married couple Ben and Joke decided to find the perfect beach location for their pre wedding/engagement shoot. They wanted to have a special day with Carina + David photographers before the wedding craziness, to make sure they took a moment to breath, and to show off their admiration and love for each other.
The result – A beautiful day, captured forever on film and in print. Carina + David photographers take us there.
"Joke and Ben have known each other for 10 years and have been deeply in love ever since. In between their jobs, renovating a house and all the rest, they are busy preparing their big day."
"Because they know their wedding day will be a little crazy and hectic, they decided to have a love shoot on a beautiful location, where it could be all about them and their love for each other."
"After a long search they came across the beautiful village Etretat in Normandy and decided that would be the perfect backdrop for their photo shoot."
"They loved the high cliffs, the blue of the sea and the white beaches. They thought it would be the perfect place to have their true love captured."
"When they asked us as their photographers to come along with them to this beautiful place, we couldn't be any happier and enthusiastic."
"It turned out to be three days of fun, laughter, and a lot of love. We definitely made new friends!"

Astwood Bank Surgery6-8 Feckenham RoadAstwood Bank RedditchWorcestershire, B96 6DSTel: 01527 892418
Our application to close the Feckenham Branch Surgery was approved by the local NHS and the last drop in surgery will be on the 24th April 2019.
We will continue to see patients from Feckenham and outlying villages at the main surgery and home visits for housebound patients will be available as before.
We understand the decision to close the service is an unpopular one however we stand by the compelling reasons we have highlighted during the consultation process.
Looking forward we are focusing on improving the overall service we offer patients. Patients who have rung recently will be aware we have the new modern phone system in place.
We have expanded the appointments available and now have Dr Asif doing a Tuesday afternoon surgery alongside his other sessions. This will offset the appointments we will be losing due to the closure.
Dr Twigg, Dr Meredith and Dr Ali also have sessions and Nazia Nazir our pharmacist is doing telephone and face to face medication reviews Monday to Thursday. Her "pharmacy appointments" can be booked directly by patients.
We will continue to monitor our appointments over the coming months to ensure we have good access and will continue to work with stakeholders and our Patient Participation Group which meets regularly.
If you have any comments please write to us at the surgery or through the comments and suggestions form on our website. www.theridgewaysurgery.co.uk
We plan to develop and add new services in the coming months and will make patients aware via posters and the various local parish magazines.

Can it really be 20 years since the cry of 'Freedom' echoed in cinemas across the globe? Apparently so (which makes me feel quite old!) and two decades later Braveheart continues to inspire people to uncover the facts from the fiction of the legendary William Wallace and how he rose to become Scotland's National Hero.
Most people interested in this era of Scottish history make their way to Stirling and the area of his most famous victory at the Battle of Stirling Bridge.
Shadowing over the battlefield is the volcanic outcrop of Abbey Craig with the National Wallace Monument pointedly rising a further 220ft skywards. Erected in the 1860s to commemorate one of the most recognised figures from Scotland's past, it is currently also commemorating the film that helped create international awareness of his story.
I went along to one of their special free events that are running throughout 2015 with costumed actors and historians taking you back to one of the most dramatic periods in Scottish history as they tell tales from the battlefield and stories about the man himself.
I really enjoyed the 'Scotland's National Hero' talk and it provided an entertaining insight into the life of William Wallace before I embarked on the 246 monument steps to observe the landscape that was so significant not just during the time of Wallace but also for hundreds of years previous.
Constructed with money from a fundraising campaign and designed by the Scottish architect John Thomas Rochead, the monument is based on a combination of a traditional Scottish tower house castle with a stone crown spire on the top.
Today you can follow the spiral stone staircase and the story of the famous Scottish warrior at the various floors with exhibitions as you climb upwards, be sure to stop at the Hall of Heroes where you will see the famous Wallace sword on display, said to have been used by him during battle! It also includes busts of some of Scotland's other notable figures including Sir Walter Scott and King Robert the Bruce.
Just when you think that your staircase workout is never going to end, you step out into the crown and are rewarded with impressive 360 degree sweeping views spreading into the distance. Look out for Stirling Castle, perched on another volcanic outcrop before you, the Ochil hills stretching in the other direction and of course the looping river that played a vital role in the victory for the Scots at the Battle of Stirling Bridge.
Following the Andy Scott Sculpture Trail
If like me you are a fan of The Kelpies then you should really visit the numerous other public sculptures designed by Andy Scott that are dotted around Central Scotland.
I was lucky enough to attend the opening night of The Kelpies and it really brought these magnificent creatures to life with fire, light and sound. Ever since I have made it my mission to visit and photograph his other works of art.
In common with The Kelpies they all capture the history and mythology of the area they represent. One of the best ways to view six of his sculptures and some lovely Scottish scenery is by following the The Andy Scott Sculpture Trail through Clackmannanshire.
This is my photoblog of my tour along the trail, for more info on the meaning of the sculptures I have added the appropriate links. Unfortunately I had mixed weather for taking photographs but that's Scotland for you!
First stop is 'This Journey's End' which is situated on Marywood roundabout on the approach to Clackmannan and Alloa. It celebrates the opening of the Clackmannanshire Bridge and represents crossing and meeting.
Launch Night Of The Kelpies
If there was one Scottish event I wasn't going to miss this year, it was the launch of The Kelpies. These two 30 metre, 300 tonne, stainless steel horse heads have captured my heart from the beginning.
I love that there is something mystical and ethereal about them as they shimmer in the light and give the impression that they could come to life at any moment.
The opening night saw a clear blue sky over Falkirk which slowly coloured to orange as the sun began to set. I stood in a snaking queue with excited anticipation at the much hyped fire, light and sound show which was about to take place.
While everyone stood waiting in the now chilly evening, we were entertained by poets, musicians and street performers, all setting the mood for the event ahead.
