The effort to locate a YMCA in Sumner that started six years ago took a major step April 28.
On that day, representatives of the design-build team of Adolfson and Peterson Construction and BCRA architects and YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties President Bob Ecklund broke ground at 16101 64th St. E. on what will be the 110,000-square-foot Gordon Family YMCA recreation center.
"The ground-breaking was fantastic," Ecklund said. "It was 77 degrees and sunny. There was a steady stream of construction. Site work is underway. Several hundred people from the community who have been supporting us from the beginning were there. Some of our largest investors were there and people from the neighborhood walked over."
The new Y will serve more than 20,000 annual users. The two-floor facility will boast the usual Y services such as a gymnasium, climbing wall, running track, multipurpose rooms and racquetball courts. Ecklund is most excited that the new Y will include the largest pool, compared to all other Y's in the area.
The Y will include two pools: a large, 6,000-square-foot warm water pool with a lazy river and zero entry, and a second six-lane, 25-yard-long cool water pool for lap swimmers.
Based on research, Ecklund said it was found that community members also desired a recreation center that evoked a sense of place.
"Based on the research, there will be a new arts center," Ecklund said. "People are coming to the YMCA for a lot more than a workout. They're looking for that sense of community."
The 8,000-square-foot arts center will serve students and active seniors.
Adolfson and Peterson has partnered with the YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties on several past projects. The firm also built the Tom Taylor YMCA in Gig Harbor that opened in 2007 and the Silverdale Haselwood YMCA that opened in 2011. The firm helped with completion of another 10,000 square feet to the Tom Taylor Y, completed last January.
"(The Gordon Family Y) is our third YMCA that we have built from the ground up," said Jim Newman, senior project manager with Adolfson and Peterson. "Our relationship with the YMCA spans nearly 15 years and is based on a truly collaborative team-build approach on every facility. The Sumner facility will be completed using the same principles of collaboration and innovation."
Adolfson and Peterson plans to build the Gordon Family Y with construction techniques that meet LEED Silver Certification requirements. These include minimizing energy consumption, reducing air leaks, preventing long-term deterioration of exterior walls and using recyclable building materials.
The project cost is $35 million. Newman said the scope of the project will support 300 construction jobs. The Gordon Family YMCA is set to open in June of 2015.
Since its founding in 1946, Adolfson and Peterson has been ranked among the top 50 construction managers and general contractors in the United States. Newman said part of Adolfson and Peterson's mission is to complete projects that provide a direct benefit to local communities.
John Platon, senior vice president for Adolfson and Peterson's Pacific Northwest region said, "(The YMCA) is wholly committed to the communities of Pierce and Kitsap counties and we are honored to partner with the YMCA in building stronger communities."Andrew Fickes: 253-552-7001 andrew.fickes @puyallupherald.com Twitter: @herald_andrew

We're SO CLOSE to being able to fill this transport - I have only one leg missing!
We are looking for transport from the Chicago area (airport is flexible) into either Zanesville, OH or Batavia, OH for the weekend of May 2nd or May 3rd. Pilots - supposedly there's a big Sporty's shop in Batavia...
There might be a possibility of a second dog on this run... so if anyone can accomodate more than one, it would be wonderful! Both dogs are going to loving homes in the Baltimore area!
Thanks so much for the help!
REVISED Transport:
Thankfully, this transport has been able to locate a pilot willing to take the Kansas City (Olathe) to Chicago (Dupage) route of this transport - thank you SO MUCH Terry!
We are now hoping to locate a pilot who can fly all (or part) of the route from the Chicago area east to Baltimore... or as far east as possible! With one volunteer secured - the route we are looking to fill now would need to be NO EARLIER than Saturday, April 25th. (But could easily flex into that next week.)
If you might be able to assist, please let me know - thank you SO MUCH!
Original Message:
Hello All -
I realize this is really a LONG HAUL request, but I thought it would be worth a try...
I have a super sweet 4 year old English Setter who needs to move from her foster home in Wichita, KS (me) to her adoptive home just west of Baltimore, MD. The dates are flexible, but I probably will have difficulty locating temporary foster homes for any overnight stops... so the ideal situation would be a full day trip.
I can travel almost anywhere in Kansas (Wichita, Salina, Kansas City) to start her on her journey, and would assume her adoptive mother would be equally flexible around the Baltimore area. Again, dates are pretty flexible!
Many, many thanks!
- Michelle

Marcy Thomas sat for a moment staring at a ceiling fan above her chair. A tear was streaking down her cheek as she fought to regain her voice.
Midway through a story about her battle with homelessness and drugs, that lonely tear was symbolic of the emptiness she felt in her life at her lowest point, she said.
Thomas starts her story again.
"I remember being at a friend's house on the Fourth of July in 2007, I think. I was sitting in this cozy little lawn chair, a cocktail in the cupholder of the arm rest. As I sat there, I heard kids laughing in the yard, the sweet smell of barbecue coming from the grill, my left hand cradled in my boyfriend's hand, and the smiles on the faces of my best friends," she recalled, now with a smile.
"At that moment I had it all and I knew it. It was definitely one of those 'smell the roses' kind of moments," Thomas, 44, said. "I was loved and happy and everything was wonderful."
At the time, Thomas was a financial analyst for a bank with corporate offices in downtown Minneapolis. She was unwilling to share which one, because it doesn't matter, she says. "It's not important to the story."
A year later, in 2008, Thomas had been with the bank for 14 years. She had been loyal and they had rewarded her and her talents, she said. With a $100,000-a-year job, a house in Burnsville, and a loving boyfriend, she said she had everything she wanted.
"It was the high-water mark," Thomas said. "It's surprising to look back and see how fast it dissolved. Just three years later I was sitting in jail, staring at the ceiling of a dirty cell when I had another 'smell the roses' moment. Homeless. No job. No boyfriend. Sitting in jail because I was arrested outside a crack dealer's house."
Journey to Homelessness
How did Thomas go from successful professional to homeless and in jail?
She says it was incredible naiveté and an inability to deal with personal tragedy that led her down a path to homelessness and drugs.
"In August of 2008 I was let go from my job and I was totally unprepared. I should have been—it was a recession for crying out loud—but I didn't think it would happen," Thomas said. "And I had never really had to deal with anything like that before. You can tell me I'm taking it too seriously, but for me, losing my job was the first personal tragedy I ever had to deal with. I wasn't equipped."
By December, unemployment had kicked in, she said, but it was clear she wasn't going to make ends meet. Thomas became depressed after losing her job and failing to find part-time employment—not even holiday work—to pay all her bills.
"I was really unhappy. Just so unhappy," Thomas said.
That unhappiness eventually led Thomas to a party in Richfield, where she was introduced to crack cocaine.
"I'm sitting on a couch at a party and someone slides it in front of me," she said. "This guy asked me if I knew what it was, and instinctively I did, but ... it was so surreal, I said no. He told me, and asked me if I wanted to try it. You have to understand that I was so depressed—I knew I was going to lose my house and all that—and I said yes. It was an out-of-body experience. I didn't want to try it but I did at the same time."
Thomas said the first hit was all it took.
"For the first time in what felt like so long, I felt happy. It's indescribable how everything bad just melts away," she said. "Until everything's gone, I guess."
Soon, much of her money was going to feed her new habit, and when her boyfriend found out, Thomas said he left her. She spent much of the next two years on friends' couches and spare beds. She tried treatment a couple times, but nothing stuck.
"I had some furniture at my mom's house, but other than that, it was gone," she said. "I lost everything. Well, maybe not everything ... I didn't lose Cynthia."
Hope for More
Cynthia Williams has been Thomas' friend for 30 years—since the two met in high school.
Williams, 43, said she had no idea Thomas was addicted to crack cocaine until she got a collect call from her one morning late in 2010.
"She called me from jail. She needed to be bailed out," Williams said. "I was shocked."
Later that day, after posting bail, Thomas opened up to her friend, explaining the gory details and truth.
"I was afraid she'd leave me like my ex did," Thomas said. "I got the opposite."
Williams, who lives in Savage, offered to let Thomas stay at her home to help her get back on her feet with one condition: Treatment first and no drugs when she was out.
"I'm a stay-at-home mom and I thought maybe I could help her—keep an eye on her," Williams said. "My family agreed. The kids wanted to see Aunt Marcy get better."
Thomas acknowledges she's lucky.
"I'm fortunate. I went to treatment a couple times in 2009 and 2010, but unless you want it, there's no hope," Thomas said. "But this time—this time I wanted it."
Thomas went to a treatment center for 28 days as part of a diversion program and when she came out, she moved in with Williams. Today, her record has been expunged—part of the diversion program she was in for people with clean criminal records.
"For those first 30 or so days with Cynthia, I was locked in my bedroom. I knew if I could go 60 days without it, I could beat it. It was hard, but I had so much support," she said.
That was early in 2011. Today, Thomas says she's working on nearly two years of being clean. She is working again, has an apartment in Eagan and has a new boyfriend.
While she acknowledged she doesn't have a lot of wisdom to share with people facing homelessness, Thomas did want to tell people to lean on their family and friends in times of need.
"They'll understand," Thomas said. "Life happens and don't let ego or embarrassment stop you. It's better than my way.
"That said, I've learned more over the past four years than I did in the first 40," Thomas joked. "I've been lucky. That's all I can say."

Peachy: Wakeboard Star Harley Clifford and Shota Tezuka Dominate First Pro Tour Stop in Georgia
The O just keeps on rollin'. This time, in the land of peaches.
Hordes of Wake fans packed the shores of Lake Allatoona at Dallas Landing Park today to catch the final rounds of action at the MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour stop in Acworth, Ga. On the heels of a season-opening victory at Wakegames, Oakley's young star Harley Clifford dominated the Pro Men's field – while O's young Japanese up and comer Shota Tezuka grabbed the victory in the Jr. Pro Men Division.
The final day in Acworth saw the field of 20 riders narrow down to six for the last round of action. But none were any match for O's Aussie phenom.
"I'm so stoked to start the season with a win," said Harley, whose win solidified a lead in the King of Wake Series standings. "Phil [Soven] is always tough to go up against, but I rode really well today and came out on top."
Today's win marks his second consecutive victory in Acworth.
In the Jr. Pro Men's division, history was made today, as young Oakley ripper Shota Tezuka became the first Japanese rider ever to win a Pro Tour event. Tezuka, 17, from Gotenba, Japan, blew the competition out of the water in the four-man final, posting a score of 97.00, a 13-point difference from his next closest competitor. Jacob Valdez and Aussie Dylan Prideaux rounded out the Jr. Pro Men's podium, respectively.
"It feels awesome, I'm very excited," Shota said, rocking his Oakley Japan gear from head-to-toe. "I rode really well, had fun and won."
If that wasn't impressive enough, Shota turned heads and created a huge buzz in Acworth by beating out Rusty Malinoski and special guest Parks Bonifay in the Overton's Double Up Contest. He took home the $1,000 cash prize for landing a massive Heelside Frontside 900 off the double up.
With the first stop of the season all wrapped up, the MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour, presented by Rockstar Energy Drink will now head to Fort Worth, Tex., on June 2-4. Additional 2011 Pro Tour venues include Colorado Springs, Colo., Monroe, Wash., and Knoxville, Tenn.

Treasures of Shearith Israel
The history of New York's Jewish presence began in 1654 with the arrival of twenty-three refugees of Sephardic ancestry from Recife, Brazil. Soon after their arrival the group established a congregation, the first in North America. This foundation was the beginning of a rich legacy that has culminated in the growth of what is now one of the largest Jewish communities in the world, and, importantly, set the stage for the religious and ethnic diversity for which our city and nation are known. Since its early inception, members of Congregation Shearith Israel have participated in the political, economic, and cultural life of New York and the United States, and have included colonial shipping merchants and master artisans, Revolutionary War patriots and loyalists, founders of the New York Stock Exchange, Mount Sinai Hospital, and Barnard College, numerous public officials, national educators, activists and poets.

The return of constitutional monarchy in Britain in the late seventeenth century. The Stuarts were placed back on the throne; the first of them after the Restoration was King Charles II.
Note: The Restoration is known as a period of comparative gaiety in England after the severe days of government by the Puritans. Plays, in particular, had been banned by the Puritans; a large number, notably comedies, were produced during the Restoration.


text: Make no mistake: Our Cardinals sources agree that the Kevin Kolb trade with the Eagles in exchange for former Pro Bowl CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a second-round draft choce in 2012 is a make-or-break maneuver by head coach Ken Whisenhunt. "If Kolb flops, it puts a huge stain on the Whisenhunt regime," one team insider told PFW. "Obviously, they paid a premium to get him; the early reaction is that most fans think the team gave up way too much, so Kolb is under considerable pressure. But Whisenhunt told us right away that, if he's going to go down, he's comfortable doing it with a guy as tough and talented as Kolb." Equally important, we hear, was a seal of approval from star WR Larry Fitzgerald, who quietly worked out for one week with Kolb this offseason at Arizona State's indoor practice facility. "No question he (Fitzgerald) feels comfortable with the trade," the insider said.

We veterinarians need to be sued
OK, it's evident our profession is in free fall. Clients don't want to visit us anymore, we cost too much, and we make too little. The Internet bashes us from one side while the nonprofits smack us from the other. We cut fees, give away surgeries, and do more for less—and it's not working. We need a new tonic for our troubles: something proven, well tested, and certain to give the profession the boost it needs. Well, grasshoppers, never the one to shy away from a daunting task, I've sought and found the answer: We need to be sued.
Lawsuits = revenue
Yep, we DVMs just aren't sued enough. We don't attract lawyer sharks in their $5,000 suits. And even though many of our clients feel wronged by us, we just can't get them to take the next step and whack us with a subpoena. So, my modest proposal is to embrace the legal profession in the same way a fisherman holds a cold, smelly, flopping fish to his chest, knowing that tonight it'll feed his family well. Invite lawyers over for a visit. Graduate more DVM-JDs, so they know our weak spots. And stop talking to our clients, since the No. 1 incentive to sue is poor communications.
Yes, we'll have to get that pesky law about our patients being property changed so the monetary rewards are worth it, but that's already in the works. If we lend our support to any pending legislation, it'll easily pass.
Forget insurance
To sue is the American way
Sure, our clients—what's left of them—love us, but the general public thinks we're silly and irrelevant. You hardly ever hear any good DVM jokes anymore. It's time to get relevant, get some respect. It's time to ante up on some wrongdoing and dare the hounds of jurisprudence to pursue us in court. Call the AVMA today and demand they redact our code of professional ethics. Call your insurance agent and get $10 million worth of coverage. Check out that new Mercedes SCL 600—it's stunning!
For the benefit of us all, let it rain lawsuits, money, and respect. Be American. (Sorry, Canadians.) Be proud. Be a whole lot richer.
And if you disagree, sue me. Please.

Attention, Linkin Park fans:
Linkin Park rapper Mike Shinoda has finally came up with their fifth studio album, after starting their 5th Projekt Revolution in 2011 (I think), and the new album is called, Living Things, and they have released their new single, "Burn It Down" on April 16, 2012 (as a digital download and CD). Just looked it up on Wikipedia, and I'm very sure you all are excited about it. I'm also sure that you will all look forward to getting their new album, when it's released on June 26, 2012 (next summer). I know that I will do the same as you guys would, by the way. And they made a brand new album cover for Living Things.
Remember about pre-ordering the album before Linkin Park releases the new album, Living Things, this summer on June 26, 2012. What do you Linkin Park fans think about that?
Views: 1577
Yeah. At first I had mixed views about ATS (bearing in mind I've been a fan of LP since Hybrid Theory), but after seeing them live I began to really enjoy it. So, I'm really looking forward to album #5!!!!
they said it's cooming out in 2012.
People are saying that when My Chemical Romance was in Chicago, during the show Gerard announced that after they finish touring with Blink 182, that they are going back to the studio and working on their fifth album.
Well no matter when it comes out, I know it will be worth the wait. And I am confident it will be a masterpiece win or lose. ;)
Yeah... it's worth it, all right. The guys already recorded new songs for the LPU11 this year. I have them all on my MP3 and they are all the best, even their other songs for Linkin Park and the LP Underground. The 10 new songs for the LPU are this (if you heard of them already):
"YO (MTM Demo)"
"Slip (1998 Unreleased Hybrid Theory Demo)"
"Soundtrack (Meteora Demo)"
"In The End (Demo)"
"Program (Meteora Demo)"
"Bang Three (What I've Done Demo)"
"Robot Boy (Test Mix, Option Vocal Take)"
"Broken Foot (Meteora Demo)"
"Esaul (A Place For My Head Demo)" .. and ..
"Blue (1998 Unreleased Hybrid Theory Demo)"
For the LPU11 CD, I think. It's called "Underground V11: Demos".
It will come out this summer on June 26, 2012, Nadezhda Kirov. :)

Help Us Turn the Tide in Washington and Stop These Irresponsible Bailouts
Yesterday President Obama signed a spending bill drafted by Congress full of pork and special interest handouts totaling nearly $800 billion. The Democrats think this bill will change our country's financial fortunes, but you and I know better. This latest bailout brings our federal government's commitments to more than $9.7 trillion, which according to Bloomberg is enough money to pay the home mortgages of more than 90% of Americans.
In an op-ed in this morning's Washington Times, I elaborate on how the unparalleled growth in government we see today belies an unspoken belief that Americans are not smart enough to govern their own lives, strong enough to take some risk, or compassionate enough to help their neighbors in need. At the core of conservativism, on the other hand, is belief in the individual.
This is a message I've been articulating for quite some time now. Last year, in a Wall Street Journal op-ed I co-authored with South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, we made the case that this "bailout mentality" is destroying the American ideal of personal responsibility. This administration is saddling future generations with an increasingly unbearable debt, and we are already hearing that more bailouts are just around the corner.
To send Washington a message, please visit NoGovernmentBailouts.com today and sign our petition. Join our fight and add your voice to a growing list of several thousand Americans who are fed up with this irresponsible spending that threatens our future. Once you've signed the petition, use the tools on the site to tell your friends about our cause. The more people we can get to join our chorus, the greater our chance of making a difference.

The DNC Outmaneuvered US
The DNC outmaneuvered the RNC.. They spent lots of money to get democratic Sec of States elected. In turn these Sec Of States, I believe helped turn the election with the help of ACORN.
OHIO for example. The RNC needs to get on board with new tecnology (You Tube, Facebook, Twitter, ) . Plus , we need to defeat ACORN. ACORN submitted so many false or duplicate registration forms , it overwhelmed the local election boards with useless and false registrations. And even if 1 or 2 percent got counted it could turn the election.

Why I will vote for Rick Perry
Much thought and soul searching went in to the decision to support Mr. Perry. Never will we forget that fearful day of 9-11. Never were we more sure that we had made the right choice electing George W. Bush. Pride was felt by all the day Mr. Bush stood with his arm around the Fireman and promised us that they would hear from all us very soon.
I fear that days of uncertainty are coming our way again. Hope and change has turned into doom and gloom. The Democrats say to put skin in the game. Maybe you and the GOP can give us promise and change, a change back to the days of a promising future for all Texans that want to work for what they have, not a handout of pork from DC.Let us join not to just put skin in the game but our hides on the line.You have held true to GOP ways of keeping our budget in line and now we will have to bail out many blue states that spent like drunken sailors.
For you ladies, this is not a man thing. If Sarah Palin moved to Texas , I'm very sorry to say, Mr. Perry you would be under the bus faster than a Chicago politician can throw a preacher!

This document is designed to give you a brief overview of some of the security-related processes that occur during the development of the Telligent Evolution Platform. It also describes the threats that are tested for in the Telligent Evolution platform. Lastly, it details part of the incidence response that will occur if vulnerabilities are discovered.
In order to help ensure that the platform is being developed in a secure way, the product development team follows the Microsoft Software Development Lifecycle-Agile (SDL-Agile) guidelines. By following SDL-Agile, the team is focused on security during every iteration of development. Similarly, the up-front design of new features considers potential security threats.
One of the steps that have been taken to help ensure the security of code that is constructed is the development of an internal set of security guidelines for code. The development team has a set of guidelines that each member follows as they create new code. The guidelines are extensions to the Web application rules found in the SDL-Agile document. During weekly security assessments, new code is checked for compliance with these security guidelines. This set of guidelines is also updated whenever new threats are discovered that can impact the Telligent Evolution platform.
Every week, new code is examined for any new vulnerability that may have been introduced. The details of the assessment are explained further in the Continuous security assessments section. During this process, code is manually reviewed for security bugs that could have been introduced. This process is often done more than once per iteration, which exceeds the requirements outlined in SDL-Agile.
In order to understand the threats that impact a new feature, models are constructed during the design of the feature. The Microsoft Threat Modeling tool is often used for threat modeling. However, attack trees and other modeling tools may be used in the future. Aside from modeling, much of the up-front design of new features involves a discussion of security concerns and potential threats.
The Quality Assurance team not only performs checks for authorization threats, but also performs passive vulnerability scanning. For each test case that they complete, they are also performing a passive vulnerability scan in the background. The scanning is configured to detect a wide range of threat types. Each of the reports is analyzed for new security vulnerabilities, which are ticketed and fixed.
There are several scanners that are used to detect vulnerabilities in the Telligent Evolution platform. Telligent uses both open source and commercial scanner products to conduct scans. These have helped in detecting and correcting vulnerabilities before the platform ships. These scans are conducted regularly and are designed to detect any regressions.
The product assemblies are scanned for vulnerabilities using static code analysis. The main tool that is currently used for static code analysis is from Microsoft, and is called CAT.NET. This tool is executed regularly against the latest code in development and reports any potential vulnerability. The report is then manually analyzed and potential vulnerabilities verified. If any vulnerability is detected and verified to exist, then it is ticketed and corrected.
Every week an internal security assessment is performed on the Telligent Evolution platform. The assessment is performed by using vulnerability scanning and static code analysis tools as well as manual reviews of the latest code changes. Any vulnerability that is discovered is ticketed and corrected.
During a weekly security assessment, the entire code base is examined using static code analysis to identify vulnerabilities. The details of the tools that are used are explained in greater detail in the Vulnerability Scanning section. The analysis is an excellent way to find new vulnerabilities introduced in recent code commits.
The manual review of the Telligent Evolution platform code follows the OWASP Testing Guide v3 and the internal secure coding guidelines. The security threats that are tested for follow a combination of the OWASP threat classification and WASC Threat Classification v2. Additionally during this process, the code is also reviewed for any logic bugs. Below is a sample of some of the threats detected during the security assessment and how they map to OWASP and WASC threats. The table below also demonstrates how vulnerabilities are ticketed and reported.

Any vulnerability that is discovered at any stage of development is ticketed and fixed. Vulnerabilities are rarely discovered in the wild; most of the time, they are discovered through an internal security assessment and fixed prior to release. Below is a list of some of the threats that are mitigated and some of the steps that are taken to eliminate their occurrence.
User-generated content has any included markup filtered through a white list of allowable markup. Certain items, like in-line styles that position content in a fixed manner, are not included. Additionally, IFrames are disabled to prevent loading external pages in-line. Several other unsafe attributes and elements are removed from user content prior to saving it to the database. This reduces the ability for an attacker to generate spam content or content that appears to be on behalf of the site.
The code base is actively scanned for this type of vulnerability on a regular basis. Code has been reviewed and mechanisms are in place to ensure that this type of threat is protected against. Content is sanitized and properly encoded before it is rendered to users.
The code base has mechanisms in place to ensure that form requests are from the same origin as the site and originating because of the user's action. New code is scanned for possible CSRF vulnerabilities using both static code analysis tools and vulnerability scanning tools. CSRF vulnerabilities are usually considered high priority and fixed immediately.
The code base is continuously examined looking for logic bugs that could make it easier for an attacker to perform a DoS attack. One type of DoS, ReDoS, is checked for with all new regex that is introduced into the platform.
Safe parsing techniques are employed to prevent integer overflow issues. Similarly, other types are parsed in a safe way to prevent overflow scenarios.
Before user input is passed to LDAP it is sanitized appropriately to prevent LDAP injection attacks.
Null byte injection is actively tested for and code is analyzed for logic flaws that could be exploited by null bytes. Extra sanitation methods have been added to help prevent future null byte injection attacks.
Attacks against file storage are tested for, in particular path traversal attacks. There have not been any issues discovered and measures are taken that prevent path traversal. Best practices are also documented that would mitigate a successful path traversal vulnerability being used to access sensitive Web files.
Best practices dictate that file storage should not be located in the same directory as the Web site. This helps avoid SSI attacks from including sensitive Web files like the connection strings configuration. Furthermore, files that allow SSI are not allowed to be uploaded by users.
The current code base and code that is changed are frequently scanned for SQL injection vulnerabilities. Steps are taken to sanitize potentially dangerous input, which mitigates SQL injection attacks. Furthermore, parameterized queries and stored procedures are used in order to help prevent SQL injection.
Any redirection that occurs on a site is limited to the sites origin. Additionally, any potentially dangerous redirection issues are considered serious and corrected immediately.
Steps are taken to prevent XML DoS attacks from occurring as a result of XML entity expansion. Extra protections exist on XML processing to stop these types of attacks.
Validation on the client matches the validation on the server for user input. Furthermore, input is sanitized and properly encoded to prevent vulnerabilities.
Content that is displayed to a user is processed through a permissions engine that ensures that the accessing user is authorized to view the content. Programmer comments are also not written to the markup, which reduces any source code disclosure.
Security is an important consideration given to Telligent products. While we strive to prevent opportunities for vulnerabilities and exploits, assistance from the community fortifies our efforts to develop secure products. If you identify a potential security issue, please submit the details to firstname.lastname@example.com. All submissions will be regarded as serious matters and given urgent attention.
All customers will be notified both via email and as a notification on this site once an issue is verified and a fix or workaround is available. Due to the sensitive nature and potential impact of any security issue, updates and fixes may not provide details.

If MW2 wasn't hacked to freakin ****, MW2 without a doubt.
Re: WHICH IS BETTER MW2 OR 3?juannadie May 2, 2012 4:03 PM (in response to Sjiro)
Exactly, who made the game? The guys at Respawn. And Activision didn't allow them to release the game they wanted. They also didn't let them patch the game how they wanted.
Re: WHICH IS BETTER MW2 OR 3?KingRollo May 3, 2012 6:36 AM (in response to XXXScarFac3XXX)
MW3. Why? It's much more balanced:
1. All perks have a counter (No Stopping Power, Commando or Danger Close)
2. Rank progression is better (Blind Eye is available early, so you don't have to endure getting killed by airsupport until you unlock the perk)
3. Explosives have been nerfed and explosive spam has been reduced (Scavenger no longer resupplies explosives)
4. You can customize your kill streaks for each class
Probably other reasons, but thats all I've got for now.

mw3 is worst cod ever, killed the series. when bops came out, there were 2 milion ppl online, when mw3 came out, there wer 1 mil
balanced????support killstreaks that KILL
OP weapons, more than MW2
garbage maps
disc is cheap(mine broke on first day, had to return it)
elite scam
and LAST STAND!! anyone remember in cod xp(i was watching stream) when Bowling said
Crowd - "WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

Modern Warfare 2 was the most unbalanced multiplayer. It was all about the cheapest tactics (OMA tubing, Commando Knifing), and ridiculous firepower (Shotguns and Machine Pistols as secondaries).
I would gladly take lag compensation (which does not effect me), over MW2 anyday.
Re: WHICH IS BETTER MW2 OR 3?Buckeye015 May 2, 2012 9:14 PM (in response to thebiindsniper)
mw2 in my opinion was the worst call of duty, but was very fun. It was extremely unbalanced, unlike mw3. Mw3 is very balanced for the most part, at least in comparison to mw2. But COD4 was and will forever be the best video game that ever existed.
Re: WHICH IS BETTER MW2 OR 3?DerGeraeeet May 4, 2012 6:09 AM (in response to XXXScarFac3XXX)
If i had to choose one of these games i would pick MW3, because in MW2 everyone is running around with Infinite Noob Tubes and Commando.
But i prefer the Maps from MW2.

Both have their great points and both have their horrid. I still enjoy playing both. If you took the best of MW2, added the best of MW3, took out all the cheap stuff and you'd have an awesome game.
Re: WHICH IS BETTER MW2 OR 3?vileself May 5, 2012 4:07 PM (in response to WKMMS)
I agree with this. But Id say I like MW3 better than MW2.
Re: WHICH IS BETTER MW2 OR 3?Snipingdbag May 5, 2012 6:00 PM (in response to XXXScarFac3XXX)
Comparing both games in their prime;
Guns; mw2 (better balanced, though smgs should get a range P and the Ump had way too low damage drop off in mw2, being a 3 hit kill across the map)
Perks; mw3 (this killed the game in mw2 and you can't even call it a shooter do to DC Pro tubes and MLC knifing which is both game ruining / uber annoying, this said I had fun with explosives in mw2).
Killstreaks:mw3 (specialist is awesome, support mweh, but then again if you get a high score you can spam it more often than shi-t players)
Maps; mw3 (I love small-mid big and hectic, plus a lot of mw2 maps have a strange sand storm or whatever it's, it's annoying).
Hit detection & matchmaking / game performance online; mw2
Player movement; mw2 (getting stuck and not being able to go over anything basically is pretty fckin annoying mw3).

You also need to share the title of the book that you're getting your "teaser" from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you've given!
Does this sound like anyone you know:
She had been spending seventeen hours per day at the office and another five on her music. Her taxing schedule had been the result of her job's mandates and her personal obsession, and it had become clear that both ends of the spectrum were suffering as a result of her split attention.
It describes Whitney, the protagonist in Christine Son's Off the Menu. Whitney works at a law firm by day, but harbors a desire to succeed as a singer. Whitney and her friends Hercules and Audrey are something of a "Joy Luck Club" for a younger generation. I'll be reviewing Off the Menu as part of Christine Son's TLC Book Tour this Friday.

Seabiscuit: An American Legendby Laura Hillenbrand
Synopses & Reviews
From Powells.com:
Occasionally a sporting hero comes along and takes a nation by storm, breaking records and physically achieving the seemingly impossible. Olympic athletes winning gold medals can bring out feverish national pride, a sporting representation of Us against the world. But when the Olympics shut up shop until the next four year celebration, or when the baseball or hockey season ends, the general public resumes worrying about paying the rent, bringing up families and wondering what's on TV tonight. So it is remarkable to think that in the years between 1936 to 1947 it was a racehorse called Seabiscuit who obsessed the country. Seabiscuit was a runt of a racehorse, with crooked legs and a predisposition for indolence, but by 1938 Seabiscuit was making more news headlines than Hitler, Mussolini, or FDR.
It was the determination and personal sacrifice of three men — the ex-auto baron owner, the Walt Whitman quoting trainer, and the jockey who was blind in one eye — who saw the potential in this unlikely national treasure. Author Laura Hillenbrand has researched and brilliantly retold this rags-to-riches story set during a time of war, depression, and uncertainty. Not only does she present fully fleshed out character studies, she examines in compelling detail the economic and social context that created this national craving for such a hero. And she describes the horse races with a nail-biting urgency that will keep the reader flashing through the pages. Seabiscuit is more than sports writing, more than biography — Seabiscuit is a telling document about America's romance with the underdog. (An additional note: this trade paper edition would be great for book groups as it includes a bonus reader's guide.) Georgie, Powells.com
Publisher Comments:
Seabiscuit was one of the most electrifying and popular attractions in sports history and the single biggest newsmaker in the world in 1938, receiving more coverage than FDR, Hitler, or Mussolini. But his success was a surprise to the racing establishment, which had written off the crooked-legged racehorse with the sad tail. Three men changed Seabiscuits fortunes:
Charles Howard was a onetime bicycle repairman who introduced the automobile to the western United States and became an overnight millionaire. When he needed a trainer for his new racehorses, he hired Tom Smith, a mysterious mustang breaker from the Colorado plains. Smith urged Howard to buy Seabiscuit for a bargain-basement price, then hired as his jockey Red Pollard, a failed boxer who was blind in one eye, half-crippled, and prone to quoting passages from Ralph Waldo Emerson. Over four years, these unlikely partners survived a phenomenal run of bad fortune, conspiracy, and severe injury to transform Seabiscuit from a neurotic, pathologically indolent also-ran into an American sports icon.
Author Laura Hillenbrand brilliantly re-creates a universal underdog story, one that proves life is a horse race.
From the Hardcover edition.
Hillenbrand's riveting about underdog racehorse Seabiscuit is now a major motion picture from Universal, starring Tobey Maguire, Chris Cooper, Jeff Bridges, and William H. Macy. Directed by Gary Ross ("Pleasantville").
In this "New York Times" bestseller now in paperback, Hillenbrand unfolds the spellbinding story of the racehorse Seabiscuit in a riveting tale of grit, grace, luck, and an underdog's stubborn determination. Photos throughout.

Torquay Museum
Whilst visiting Torquay, whether a wet day or dry, take the time to visit the Museum. A place where it is easy to become engrossed in past events and local history.
Agatha Christie Gallery
Enjoy the Agatha Christie Gallery within Torquay Museum a two minute walk from The Shirley. Britain's only permanent gallery dedicated to the life story of Torquay's most famous daughter, the world's undisputed Queen of Crime. Trace the eventful life of the best-selling author of all time through a vast collection of photographs and images. See some of her personal effects, from an original manuscript and handwritten notes to some of her clothes and dozens of first editions of her novels.
The Time Ark Gallery
English Riviera - the last 400 million years
From a tropical coral sea to an ice-bound landscape, The English Riviera has changed radically over the last 400 million years. The Time Ark Gallery charts this transformation, exploring Devon's unique geology and evolving ecosystems, and telling the story of Kents Cavern prehistoric caves - Britain's oldest ancient monument. Kents Cavern is within walking distance of The Shirley.
You can see an incredible collection of some of the highlights of the story of our planet Earth and the catastrophic changes that took place, throughout different periods including the Jurassic period and the Ice Age.
There are many items that can be touched within The Time Ark Gallery including elephant tusks, a lion skin and fossils which can be handled. There is also a place where rubbings can be taken.
Explorers and Egyptomania Gallery
This gallery is the showpiece of the Museum and shows enthralling pieces collected by Torquay based explorers, who have travelled across the world.
See for yourself the mummy of a four year old boy in his sarcophagus with its hieroglyphic writing and a reconstruction of the little boy entombed within.
There are plenty of activities within this gallery to keep everyone interested whilst visiting. You may enjoy becoming a newspaper reporter on a game developed by the BBC called the 'Curse of the Mummy's Hand'.
The Old Devon Farmhouse
Travel back in time when entering the farmhouse, a full size reconstruction of an 1860 Devon farmhouse complete with the sounds and smells!
The contents were left to the Museum by Charles Hay Laycock, who wrote the book 'The Old Devon Farmhouse', published in 1998. The descriptions from his book were so good that it was possible for the museum to recreate four rooms, the front kitchen, the parlour, the back kitchen and the dairy and cheese room along with a Linhay, which is a shed for storing farming equipment.
Museum opening times: Monday to Saturday all year - 10am to 5pm. Mid July to September open Sunday afternoons 1.30pm to 5pm.

- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Squeeze and drain any excess moisture from hash brown potatoes.
- Stir potatoes and butter in a bowl; press mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch pie dish to make a crust.
- Bake crust in preheated oven until lightly browned, 25 minutes.
- Beat heavy cream and eggs in a bowl. Remove potato crust from pie dish and break apart; stir potatoes into egg mixture in a bowl. Layer ham and Monterey Jack cheese blend into bottom of the empty pie dish; pour egg-potato mixture over ham and cheese.
- Bake quiche in preheated oven until eggs are set, about 30 minutes.

As written this recipe uses an odd method. I read the directions several times and decided to approach this another way. It seemed so odd to make a potato crust and then break it up to add to the eggs. I used a 10" cast iron skillet, heated with a little oil and browned the potatoes stove top until they were fully cooked and crispy. 2 eggs for 1/2 cup cream didn't seem like enough so I upped the eggs to 4 and scrambled them with the cream. Poured the egg mixture over the potatoes, topped with the diced ham and the cheese and baked at 350 for about 15 minutes. The end result was fine but certainly not a quiche.
Recipe error - step 1 says to cook the potatoes to make the quiche shell, but then step 4 says add the potatoes to the egg and cream?! I only realized this during cooking. Dur. But I had only used about 3/4 of one 20-oz package of hash browns. Usually I use 3 eggs and 1 cup of cream in my quiches, so this seemed like a very small amount and didn't really make up a quiche, more like a pie - and I still don't know what it would have been like had I added potatoes in step 4. Also, needs more seasoning, like onions, salt and pepper.

Additionally, there are no pesticides used in our mattress covers, providing you and your family with a safe, healthy and secure sleep environment.

The Cambria Somerset Authority hopes to start negotiations in the coming weeks with a mining company that is eyeing some of its Conemaugh Township resources.
Just a month after CSA officials said they could potentially see millions in revenue from a planned PBS mine, authority Manager Earl Waddell said serious talk with LCT Energy is getting under way over deep mining rights to 260 acres between Hollsopple and Jerome.
"We own the mineral rights for this property," Waddell said, adding that LCT first approached CSA in the fall.
Waddell said the CSA coal would be mined as part of the Maple Springs Mine project, which has been in the works for years.
Johnstown-based LCT has already applied for a mining permit for the project, but Waddell said the CSA portion might be an extension to the initial territory LCT planned to mine.
Attempts to reach LCT Energy officials late Thursday for further details were unsuccessful.
The company has kept Conemaugh Township officials apprised of the project, Conemaugh Township Supervisor Steve Buncich said.
LCT officials first approached the township several years ago about tapping the project into the sewage system, he added.
Waddell said CSA's discussions with LCT are still in very early stages negotiation-wise. Payment terms for the coal, generally a dollar amount per ton, would be a major part of a deal, although the CSA could also seek to have land protection or environmental issues addressed in the deal – something that was part of a deal in place with PBS Coals for an unrelated proposed deep mine north of the Que.
The situation is different though for the LCT project, Waddell noted, because the Cambria Somerset Authority has no surface land involved.

Baked Egg Cups with Asparagus and Kale
That day I just happen to look down and see a bit of green. I thought – wow, that kind of looks like new growth. Turns out, it was. The kale from last fall came back this spring and it has loved the cooler temps!
Soon after the kale, came our first round of asparagus. The plants are two years old now so this year we've been able to harvest some for the dinner table. Three bunches so far.
I am loving this sign of new life. Lately, I've been a bit uninspired in the kitchen. I can't seem to come up with any new ideas and at times I've felt a bit like not cooking at all.
That was until the green goodness starting showing up. Soon behind these are all the blooming strawberry and blackberry plants.
Armed with asparagus, kale and so far from the herb garden, thyme and chives, I decided to try and use up some of the eggs I got from a local homesteader and friend. Baked eggs seem to be popular this spring so I did my own twist on this tasty breakfast or brunch dish.
It turns out these are great for snacks and dinner too. They are full of greens and the herbs are definitely the shining star, or at least as much as they can be next to those bright orange, farm fresh egg yolks. It was only after making them that I realized everything I had added was either from our garden or a local producer except for the milk, salt and the butter I used to grease the muffin pan.
Baked Egg Cups with Asparagus and Kale
2/3 cup cheese, finely shredded (I used St. Jerome)
6 eggs
1/3 cup milk
2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
1 tsp salt
8 1-inch pieces asparagus
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a muffin pan with butter or the oil of your choice. Divide the kale and cheese evenly between 8 cups.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add the chives, thyme and salt. Pour the egg mixture into the muffin cups, dividing it evenly. Place a piece of asparagus on top of each cup.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the eggs are set in the center and slightly browned on the edges. Cool for 2 to 3 minutes, remove from the pan and serve. Makes 8.

We are moving soon and so decided against it since we would be here about 2 years. We are headed to Japan next, and due to housing situations, we will not have any land for a garden.
