Trustwave SpiderLabs has published a new security advisory for multiple Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in The Bug Genie, an open source issue tracking and project management PHP application. The findings include both reflective and persistent XSS vulnerabilities in input parameters that can be exploited via authenticated POST requests. The Bug Genie team was contacted earlier this year regarding the security issues, and made an attempt to address them in their 3.2.5 release. Due to incomplete fixes in the 3.2.5 version, affected users are advised to upgrade to the latest stable 3.2.6 release.
Our initial security advisory was published for affected versions 3.2.4 and prior. However, a couple of weeks after the fixes were released in version 3.2.5, I revisited the application in order to confirm the fixes. I found that only two out of the five findings were correctly addressed. As a result, the remaining three findings in the 3.2.5 version were still vulnerable to XSS. Multiple attempts to contact The Bug Genie team regarding the following incomplete fixes were made:
- Persistent XSS via POST request on 'description' parameter in issue reporting
- Persistent XSS via POST request in file attachments
- Reflective XSS via POST request on 'openid_identifier' parameter in login during preauth
Both the 'description' and 'openid_identifier' parameters fail to sanitize user input properly. Although the 3.2.5 version of The Bug Genie applied a fix in different locations for both vulnerabilities, they failed to eliminate the issue entirely in other parts of the web application.
For example, the patch that was applied to fix the 'openid_identifier' issue sanitizes the error message "Could not validate against the OpenID provider: %message%." However, I found that the XSS vulnerability exists in a different location where the 'openid_identifier' parameter's value can be set to arbitrary JavaScript and cause the application to throw the error exception "Could not connect to $url," where $url is not sanitized. As such, the output would be "Could not connect to http://<script>prompt(1)</script>", resulting in XSS.
Therefore, I developed two patches that addressed both issues. As of this post, the supplied patches that I submitted to The Bug Genie team to help address the incomplete fixes for both vulnerabilities have been merged into their codebase. Affected users who previously upgraded to version 3.2.5 should now upgrade to the latest 3.2.6 release, which contains both of my fixes.
Here are the changes that I provided:
Download: Fix openid_identifier XSS Vulnerability
Download: Fix timeline
Issues XSS Vulnerability
As a final note, the persistent XSS vulnerability that exists in the way that the application renders its content remains unfixed in the latest 3.2.6 version as well. However, the file uploading functionality in The Bug Genie is disabled by default.
Additionally, cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, such as those reported in The Bug Genie, can be mitigated by using a web application firewall (WAF), such as ModSecurity and WebDefend.

Playa Hotels & Resorts Recognized By The Caribbean Hotel & Resort Investment Summit (CHRIS) For Deal Of The Year
FAIRFAX, Va., May 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Caribbean Hotel & Resort Investment Summit (CHRIS) recognized Playa Hotels & Resorts, B.V. ("Playa") with its award for Single Asset Transaction of the Year. Bruce Wardinski, Chief Executive Officer for Playa accepted the accolade during the annual CHRIS event held in Miami. Playa was honored for its acquisition in August 2013 of the former Ritz-Carlton Golf & Spa Rose Hall, Montego Bay, Jamaica, which is being transformed into a dual all-inclusive resort under Hyatt's newest brands, Hyatt Ziva (for guests of all ages) and Hyatt Zilara (for adults).
"The acquisition of the former Ritz-Carlton Rose Hall property was a significant step forward in establishing the foundation for Playa to become a leader in the all-inclusive resort market," said Wardinski. "The acquisition occurred simultaneous to our agreement with Hyatt Hotels Corporation, which resulted in an exclusive five-year commitment across six Caribbean and Latin American countries and the launch of Hyatt's all-inclusive brands: new Hyatt Ziva and Hyatt Zilara. In addition, we concluded an agreement that added Real Resorts' four properties in Cancun and Playa del Carmen to our portfolio. These transactions combined with our existing resorts that are presently operated by AMResorts form the operating anchor of Playa's new management division, Playa Resorts Management. Under the direction of Playa Resorts Management we will be converting several of our AMResorts to the new Hyatt all-inclusive brands, as well as pursue opportunities to add additional resorts that complement our strategic objectives," said Wardinski.
Scheduled to open in November 2014, this magnificent resort spans 1,500 ft. of private, pristine coastline on the turquoise Caribbean. Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall and Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall combine to form one unparalleled all-inclusive experience with 621 suites. This re-imagined property will offer the seclusion of a beachfront hideaway with a lush, green mountain backdrop, as well as a remarkable assortment of upscale amenities, including several dramatic cascading pools, 24-hour suite service, breathtaking artful landscapes with cozy fire pits dotting the property, a full-service spa and wellness center, 10 palate pleasing restaurants, bars and lounges, enhanced luggage and beach butler service, activities and entertainment and approximately 50,000 sq. ft. of interior and exterior meeting and special event areas, with venues in the sand, sea or the sky. Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall and Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall are poised to become one of the region's finest all-inclusive resorts. Conveniently located just five minutes from three world-class golf courses, including the legendary White Witch course, and 10 minutes from Sangster's International Airport, the resorts bring a new level of luxury to the island of Jamaica.

Every abandoned or homeless pet at the LA/SPCA must be vaccinated and spayed or neutered before adoption. However, the organization cares for more than 11,000 abandoned, homeless, and unwanted pets each year, and requires additional funding to prepare all of its animals for adoption.
Helmed by the good Dr. Miller, the Animal Care Center performs head-to-paw medical exams on furry family members, preventing all manner of maladies. Couches, linens, and plenty of plush spaces put dogs, cats, or level-27 pokemon at ease during the exam, while Dr. Miller answers questions and gives handy tips for keeping hirsute sidekicks in the finest of fettles. Before the appointment, peruse the checklist of items to bring, including medical records and fresh-baked goods.
Since 1982, Lakeshore Veterinary Hospital & Pet Lodge's team of doctors and techs have cared for their clients' companion animals with up-to-date and attentive care. Dental services improve overall pet health, and surgeries frequently incorporate lasers to quicken recovery times and ensure pet comfort. Owners can also arrange wellness plans to keep their companions healthy and happy.
The staff takes special care of canines via boarding and daycare programs. Pooches cavort in an outdoor play yard and swimming pool under the supervision of medically trained staff. Grooming services, such as shampoos, nailcare, skincare, and flea treatments, ensure pets come home smelling fresher than a daisy-shaped chew toy.
At Mid City Animal House, a dedicated staff gets tails wagging with hands-on attention to each four-legged visitor during grooming appointments, daycare sessions, and boarding stays. With the help of their affable bulldog, Brooklyn, they ensure that each visitor receives a full day of playtime, social interaction, and newspapers delivered to them for once.
Inside the paw-friendly playhouse, dogs maintain free reign over four rooms stocked with toys. An outdoor play area provides the animals with ample amounts of fresh air, and two puppy pools allow pets to stay cool during warm days. The staff conducts a temperament test for each dog prior to boarding to ensure safety and compatibility with the other animals.
Camp Bow Wow's certified staff dog-sits in large indoor and outdoor play areas in which pups are free to frolic with friends or surveil their own tails. Each of Camp Bow Wow's daycare counselors is a professional in canine first aid and behavior and is adequately trained to diffuse doggy dangers. Camp Bow Wow's experts categorize dogs into play groups based on size, demeanor, and brain power, so pets may engage in fair matches of Trivial Pursuit.

This Week In DVD: John Malkovich and Albert Nobbs Join Forces Against a Pack Of Bloodthirsty Alaskan Wolves!
Features By Rob Hunter on May 15, 2012 | Comments (2)Welcome back to This Week In DVD! After a couple of sparse weeks we're rewarded with a bevy of worthwhile DVD releases suitable for your viewing pleasure including a Criterion edition of Being John Malkovich, the teen super power adventure Chronicle, Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood, Woody Harrelson playing bad cop/worse cop in Rampart, and Liam Neeson going head to head with wolves in The Grey. As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Michael Michael works at an insurance firm, he hangs out with co-workers, he visits his mom and sister… and he has a ten year-old boy captive in his basement. The boy isn't in chains, in fact he's treated quite well aside from the captivity and occasional diddling. This calmly mesmerizing little Austrian drama about a few months in the life of a pedophile isn't a thriller in the conventional sense, but goddamn are the final fifteen minutes suspenseful as hell. It's a methodical and beautifully acted film that gets under your skin with its normality and subtle unpredictability.
Channel Guide: Flashpoint Gets Back To Basics On New Network
Channel Guide By Merrill Barr on October 22, 2011 | Be the First To CommentAt this point, the undying love yours truly has for the Canadian cop drama Flashpoint is more than known. The dynamics of its three-dimensional characters, the quality of its episode to episode stories as well as its season/series long arcs, the high standard of acting employed by both its regular and episode specific cast, all these things make for one of the best television experiences anyone can have. This week's episode was especially important as it's Flashpoint's first go around in the U.S. since leaving the airwaves of CBS for ION. The episode did not dissapoint.
One of the best things about writing for a movie website like Film School Rejects is access to the "hookers and blow" combo deals at film festivals. That probably counts as two best things, but the takeaway to remember here is that there are the occasional perks to the gig. The actual best thing though (aside from meeting some great and fun fellow movie lovers) is exposure to films I may never have seen otherwise. One such example is this week's Pick, an American indie that I only caught via screener when it hit theaters… in the UK. Other releases this week include a re-release of Dario Argento's fantastic Deep Red, a vengeful Djimon Hounsou in Elephant White, the gorgeous Minka Kelly in The Roommate, Jason Statham stretching as an assassin for hire in The Mechanic, Anthony Hopkins drinking Chianti with Satan in The Rite, and more. As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Brotherhood A group of hopeful fraternity pledges find themselves in a real pickle when the initiation process results in several serious crimes and one pledge bleeding to death on the couch. This is a fantastic thriller that rarely takes a minute to breathe once the action and suspense starts. It's also filled with strong performances including what deserved to be a star-making turn by Trevor Morgan. From my my full review… "[This] is a rare and unexpected success in that it takes a relatively well worn plot, jettisons […]
Interview: 'Flashpoint' Co-Creator Mark Ellis Spills About The New Season
Interviews By Merrill Barr on May 5, 2011 | Comments (9)A few weeks ago, news came out that CBS was dropping their CIA comedy CHAOS from the schedule, and as a result was pushing the U.S. premiere of established police procedural Flashpoint up a month to the 8pm slot. A slot which is new to the show as Flashpoint has always been switching between the 9pm and 10pm slots since it began in the summer of '08. I had the chance to ask series co-creator Mark Ellis about what fans can expect from the upcoming season:
HBO Renews Game of Thrones, CBS cancels CHAOS
Features By Merrill Barr on April 19, 2011 | Comments (1)Following a very successful premiere this past Sunday, HBO has made the decision to renew the critically acclaimed, medieval fantasy series Game of Thrones for a second season. The premiere scored a ratings of 2.2 million on the original airing and over the course of multiple reruns pulled in a final total of over four million viewers. It's clear that Game of Thrones won't be going anywhere any time soon. But while premium cable thrives, broadcast television falters as CBS pulled their CIA comedy CHAOS from its schedule after only three episodes, effective immediately. The series was averaging a little over five million viewers on Friday nights at 8pm. As a result of the cancellation, CBS has moved up the U.S. premiere of hit police procedural Flashpoint to May 6th in the 8pm time slot. And before you go, here are some other recently announced pick-ups:
TV Cop Dramas: The Rise Back To The Top
Features By Merrill Barr on November 30, 2010 | Be the First To CommentBefore the days of LOST, 24, Battlestar Galactica, It's Always Sunny and Mad Men, there was one thing everyone could agree on. The cop was king. Dragnet, JAG, Magnum, P.I., Miami Vice. These are shows that defined their generations and set the bar of quality programming. Maybe it was the fact that the characters were witty jerks who just can't get enough out of pissing each other off. Maybe it was the fact that characters in the genre were always in search of that one defining moment in their lives. Maybe it was just the eternal battle between good versus evil. Whatever it was, cop shows held a special place in many people's hearts. With the exception of a select few, the genre as a whole went down hill in the last two decades, but after seeing what the last two years had to offer, I think that the once beloved genre is getting ready for a second coming.
Review: Flashpoint – Acceptable Risk
Television By Merrill Barr on September 18, 2010 | Comments (3)Team One is under investigation after an active spree shooter at a gala leaves one of the highest, and bloodiest body counts in the unit's history. Things get even more unstable when an SIU agent (Lauren Holly) is called in to asses Team One's conduct. Was the SRU out of line, or were they acting by the book? At the end of the day, there is much more to this investigation than the agent is willing to lead on. And by the end, her true motive for her ruthless hunt will be answered. And Team One will be faced with one of the worst nights of their lives.
Review: Flashpoint – Jumping at Shadows
Television By Merrill Barr on September 11, 2010 | Comments (6)A little girl who has been crying wolf to 911 for the last month is suddenly faced with a real life crisis when her mother is gunned down at point blank range in her home. Now it's up to Greg, Ed and the rest of Team One to find her and her father before the other three gunman find them. But there is much more to this little girl than any of the SRU realize. At the same time, Greg receives an unexpected visit to SRU HQ. And this person has come to deliver a message that will rattle him to the core.
Team One suits up for a hot call in a residential neighborhood after some people reported a loud fire cracker like sound. Turns out that, that sound was the bullet of a Mac10 being fired inside a stash house where a buy is currently taking place. Upon storming the front of the house the team discovers that Ed's brother Roy is behind the buy. Now it's up to Team One to figure out if Roy has turned to the wrong side of the law, or is he in fact playing an elaborate game of undercover cat and mouse to take down one third of the entire Toronto illegal gun supply.
It's an average night in Toronto. That is until a group of kids kidnap a teen and assault him. That's where the SRU comes in. At first they try to find the abducted teen, but soon learn that he escaped the clutches of his attackers, who happen to also be his team mates. But then things take a turn for the worse when the abductee shows up on the roof of his school threatening to jump off. Now it's up to Parker, Ed and the rest of the team to talk him down before it gets any worse, while at the same time trying to figure out why the team members assaulted him in the first place.
Review: Flashpoint – Follow the Leader
Television By Merrill Barr on August 14, 2010 | Comments (12)Teams One and Four suit up when a 911 call comes through the line from someone claiming that a Neo-Nazi cult is planning a mult-bomb threat across the city. But things don't go as planned when some of them escape after the initial raid. Now it's up to the SRU to not only take down the cult, but find the bombs and defuse them before all hell breaks loose. Major developments: Jules may have a new love interest. What worked: The best episodes of South Park are the ones where the boys are just being boys. The best episodes of House are the ones where House just being a genius doctor. The best episodes of Futurama are the ones where the crew is just going on a wacky adventure. And the best episode of Flashpoint are the ones where the team is just doing their jobs, and that's what this episode was all about. Multi-team hot call, 911, Neo-Nazi raids, shootouts, and that's all before the opening title sequence. I said that last week's episode lacked in action, well this episode made up for it big time. Between Parker getting shot (which I did not see coming), a massive warehouse shoot out and a multi-level bomb threat, this episode is jam packed with action. And more importantly, quality action. Action you don't see much on TV anymore now that shows like 24 are off the air.
Review: Flashpoint – Severed Ties
Television By Merrill Barr on August 6, 2010 | Be the First To CommentThe SRU is called in after a woman kidnaps two little girls. But things take a major turn when it's discovered that the woman is actually the biological mother of the girls she has taken. Now Team One must track her down and get the girls back before she goes off the deep end. Major developments: Greg learns about Ed's wife's pregnancy and also decides to re-connect with his son who he hasn't seen in ten years. What worked: This episode is what I hope to be the beginning of an ongoing story line with Greg. He has talked about his son throughout the season and last weeks episode explained why Greg's ex-wife took his son to Houston. Now he realizes that things have changed and he wants to see him again. It's a very cool dynamic that show needs, because Greg has been really down played this season so far.
Review: Flashpoint – You Think You Know Someone
Television By Merrill Barr on August 2, 2010 | Be the First To CommentFlashpoint is an action/drama series on CBS about a SWAT-like team of police officers who use state of the art weaponry and technology to fight all kinds of crime. They also use their noggins. Merrill Barr is one of seventeen people who watch it on a weekly basis. This is his review… It's a normal day for Greg Parker and the rest of the SRU. That is until Greg gets a mysterious text from an old friend. Upon arriving to the meeting place, Greg is kidnapped and forced to reveal a secret from his past. Now it's up to the rest of the SRU to find him before the warehouse he's being held in blows to kingdom come. Major developments: The only major character development is that we now know the reason why Greg is a recovering alcoholic.
After the death of his brother via OD. A one man vigilante sets out on a mission to rid the community of all drug dealers. The SRU has no choice to pursue him before he escalates to the point of no return. They will be faced with one of their greatest challenges to date, is a good citizen, who just wants to rid his community of evil a bad guy? Major developments: Apparently the FBI is interested in hiring Spike.
Every Saturday, I abuse my power as Publisher of this website to pick and choose the best content from the past week. This week, it's all about Inception. With Christopher Nolan's latest in theaters, the halls of FSR were buzzing with coverage from the junket, chats with the composer and a milestone: our first A+ grade of the year. But wait! There's more to the story this week. As we go around the horn, we check in with Rob Hunter's fetish for the weirdest films of the world, we get ready for Comic-Con and we're not exactly sold on David Fincher's Facebook movie. This and more in The Week That Was…
Review: Flashpoint – 'Unconditional Love'
Television By Merrill Barr on July 17, 2010 | Comments (2)Every serial killer has his first day, and when the SRU gets called to the site of a motel room after an unintentional kidnapping, they soon learn that one of the hostages is not who they appear to be. At the same time, Ed learns that there is much more than his cop family at stake now, as he will soon have an unexpected surprise in his life. Jules also begins to take a much more offensive role when she finds a connection with the condemned subject.
Whether you watch it or not (or have even heard of it), Flashpoint is one of the best dramas (cop or otherwise) on television right now. Action, drama, a hint of comedy, great writing, it's got it all, and it shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. The show features an amazing cast of TV hard hitters including Amy Jo Johnson, Enrico Colantoni and Hugh Dillon. Now in its third season on CBS (or second if you go by the CTV numbers), this Canadian import has proven to be a huge hit for both networks. Now having been picked up for two more seasons, one of which that has already completed production, it looks like a bright future is ahead for the program. I had the chance to sit down with the shows creators Mark Ellis and Stephanie Morgenstern to discuss what's in store for the future.

Human rights activist protests far-right march in Moscow
MOSCOW, October 17 (RIA Novosti) - A human rights advocate called on Moscow authorities and the public Tuesday to prevent a march by ultra-right supporters in the Russian capital scheduled for November 4.
November 4 was first introduced as National Unity Day last year to mark Moscow's liberation from Polish invaders in 1612, replacing November 7, which commemorated the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution.
Last year, 3,000 people from radical right movements, including the Movement Against Illegal Immigration, the Russian National Union, the National Patriotic Front Memory, and skinheads, gathered for the Right March in central Moscow. Marchers chanted nationalist slogans such as "Russia for Russians."
"If Moscow's authorities fail to react to [plans to hold] the march, this will be an aggressive and xenophobic action in the center of Moscow," said Alexander Brod, head of the Moscow Bureau for Human Rights.
He said such organizers as the Movement Against Illegal Immigration, which proactively operates in 40 Russian regions, aim to deport immigrants and limit the rights of ethnic minorities. "And they are planning to gather about four thousand people for the march," Brod said.
He said St. Petersburg Governor Valentina Matviyenko had rigidly opposed plans to hold the rally, and he also urged law enforcement bodies and public organizations to respond properly to such preparations.
A total of 40 people have been murdered and some 260 injured in racially motivated attacks in Russia since January, the activist said. "Most of the victims were Azerbaijani nationals, Africans, nationals of Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Jews, and immigrants from the Middle East and China," Brod said.
He added that Moscow, St. Petersburg, the Voronezh Region in central Russia, the Rostov Region in the south and Vladivostok in the Far East were the most dangerous regions in terms of xenophobic sentiment.
"The xenophobic situation in Russia is neither worse nor better than in other countries, but law enforcement has improved since recent years," Brod said adding that 81 people have been prosecuted for fuelling ethnic hatred this year.
Still, he continued, law enforcement agencies are insufficiently good at coping with such manifestations, and he called for consolidation of all public organizations throughout the country against xenophobia and intolerance.

Lucas Glover wins Wells Fargo
Updated: May 9, 2011, 12:33 AM ET
Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Lucas Glover figures he has played more than 100 rounds with Jonathan Byrd, from junior golf when they were teenagers to their years together at Clemson and nearly a decade on the PGA Tour.
The stakes were never as high as they were Sunday in the Wells Fargo Championship.
Glover was never better.
Clinging to a one-shot lead, Glover closed with three gutsy pars of the brutal finishing stretch at Quail Hollow, slamming his fist when he made the last one ...

Student Organizations
The University of the Cordilleras recognizes the importance of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities in attaining its institutional objectives.
These activities can be in varied forms, including athletics, literary-musical competitions, cultural activities,quiz shows, educational field trips, convocations, symposia, lecture-fora, seminars and workshops, debates, social activities like concerts, dances, bible study sessions, cooking demonstrations, exhibits, and participationin inter-school and community activities.
These activities provide continuity of the socialization process; create opportunities for students to enhance their leadership potential, and to develop the art and skill of good followership. They make students aware oftheir role in the campus and in the community.
Their proponents with the office of Student Affairs should coordinate co-curricular activities. The Administration, the Academic Council, the faculty, and the various campus organizations and clubs may initiate these activities.
Classifications of Student Organization
There are two (2) classifications of Student Organization: Academic and Non-Academic.
- Academic Clubs are those organized by students of a college in relation to their fields of specialization.These clubs are extensions of the classroom, hence they are termed ÄCADEMIC. Examplesare: Management Society, Political Science Society, History Club, ARCHON, JPIA, etc.
- Non-academic clubs are organizations that are independent in nature. Not directly under a college/department, where the membership is open to all bona fide students of UC regardless of the collegeto which they belong. Their activities are more of the Extra-Curricular types. These organizations provideavenues for the enhancement of skills and attitudes that contribute to the total well being of the person, producing a wholistic individual. Examples of such organizations are: Debate Society, StudentCatholic Action, International Students Organization, etc.

During zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT), your doctor removes your eggs from your ovaries and mixes them with sperm in a laboratory dish. Once the sperm fertilizes the egg, the doctor transfers the fertilized egg cells to your fallopian tubes using a specialized instrument (laparoscope). Just like natural pregnancy, a fertilized egg cell (also known as a zygote) develops into an embryo and then makes its way down the fallopian tube so that it can implant into your uterus.
ZIFT is considered the most invasive assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, if your fallopian tubes are healthy and undamaged, if you haven't been able to conceive via in vitro fertilization (IVF), or if male infertility is an issue (e.g., low motility and sperm count), this procedure may be suggested to you.

(HealthDay News) -- Using a nasal spray can help ease congestion, but it's important to use the spray properly.
The American Academy of Family Physicians offers this advice:
Use the spray as directed by your doctor, and allow two weeks or more to gain the full benefit.
Store the spray away from direct sunlight, and keep any pressurized container clean.
Make sure you are able to breathe through each nostril before spraying, otherwise the spray may not be effective.
Point the spray toward the back of your nose. A pump spray should not drip down the back of the throat or out the nose.
Stop using the spray for one to two days if you have nosebleeds, pain or stinging inside the nose. Try an over-the-counter saline nasal spray before using a medicated spray.
If nosebleeds persist, use only a saline spray, or apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly inside the nose. Speak with your doctor if problems continue.

It says one in five workers, not including those who own their own businesses, are paid based on sales or tips and that the economic downturn is hitting them hard. They're part of the hidden costs of the slide, with effects that won't show up in stats immediately.
You won't find these people reflected in the latest job figures. Nor do the unemployment figures include people, such as most sales clerks, whose hours have been cut because consumer spending is down. Or the small-business owners whose sales have plummeted. Though they've not suffered as much as workers who have lost jobs, these people have seen their living standards fall, with far-reaching consequences for themselves and the overall economy.

Rabboni [S]
(id.) occurs only twice in the New Testament ( Mark 10:51 , A.V., "Lord," RSV, "Rabboni;" John 20:16 ). It was the most honourable of all the titles.
My great teacher, master.Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou?

She turned herself, and saith unto him, RABBONI; which is to say, Master. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

Okay, just worked my way all the way through this very useful thread. Our contribution:
Harbor Freight Multi-Function Tool. We're getting to the end (thank the Gods) of a complete deck replacement, and use this tool fairly continuously, every day. We got two, eventually, and got the $5 extended warranty with each. With two we can both work at the same time, keep them set up with different blades, or with blades set up at different angles. Also if one croaks, you still have the other. They work great (though loud, I use ear plugs) and are about a tenth of the cost of the Fein Multi-Tool.
Another thing we love is the solar flashlights you used to be able to get at Costco. Not sure they're still there. Bright light, no friggin' batteries to change if you just keep them where they can get sunlight. VERY tough-- we melted one, and it's curved worse than a banana and still working...
Spotless Stainless is amazing in re-habbing corroded stainless steel.

A Few More Reasons To Consume Less Red Meat
Via: Huffington Post Green
Cutting down the amount of red meat we eat not only affects our physical health, but also the health of the environment, a new study from the United Kingdom suggests.
Researchers from the University of Cambridge found that cutting back on red meat consumption could decrease the number of cases of chronic disease by 3 to 12 percent, and make the carbon footprint nearly 28 million tons smaller per year by decreasing greenhouse gas emissions.
The BMJ Open study included data from the National Diet and Nutrition Survey of British Adults in 2000-2001. Researchers looked at the amount of meat the people in the study consumed, as well as how many green gas emissions were emitted that are linked to 45 different kinds of food.
After adjusting for proportions, the researchers found that people who regularly ate red or processed meat in the study also just generally consumed more food than people who didn't regularly eat red or processed meat. So, they calculated that if people who ate the most red and processed meat in the study were to adjust their eating habits so they ate like the people who consumed the least red and processed meat in the study, that would decrease health risks (such as risk of diabetes, colorectal cancer and heart disease) anywhere from 3 to 12 percent.
Specifically, the Telegraph reported that if men with an average meat consumption of 91 grams per day cut it down to 53 grams per day, it would translate to a 12 percent decrease in colorectal cancer and Type 2 diabetes risks.
Plus, the decreased greenhouse gas emissions linked with food and beverages would decrease each year by about 0.45 tons per person, the researchers calculated.
Even though the data is from 2000 and 2001, the researchers noted that red meat consumption hasn't changed significantly over the last 10 years.
"This indicates that our estimates remain relevant and may even be conservative and highlights the need for action to prevent further increases in intake in the UK population," the researchers wrote in the study.
Previous research has shown a possible link between processed meat consumption and cancer risk, with an extra 50 grams a day of processed meat being linked with a 19 percent increased risk of pancreatic cancer, according to a British Journal of Cancer study.
And even more recently, a group of water scientists has predicted that the whole world is going to be vegetarian anyhow by 2050, in order to accommodate growing population growth.
"There will not be enough water available on current croplands to produce food for the expected 9 billion population in 2050 if we follow current trends and changes towards diets common in western nations," according to the report by Malik Falkenmark and other scientists at the Stockholm International Water Institute noted, as reported by The Guardian.
6 Back-to-School Germs to Avoid
VIA msn.com:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease
The viral infection causes mouth ulcers and tiny blisters on the hands and feet. "There's been an increase lately," Martinez says. Although it's moderately contagious, it's usually not serious. There's no specific treatment, but practicing good hygiene — such as frequent and thorough hand washing — can keep your little one safe.
There's no such thing as "cold season." Colds can strike at any time of the year, and are caused by more than 20 different viruses. Symptoms include congestion, a runny nose, headache, cough, sore throat, and tiredness. Typically, a cold-ridden kid is contagious for two to three days. The best medicine? Lots of fluids and plenty of rest.
Respiratory viruses
These are "very contagious," Martinez says. Particularly worrisome: Respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, which sends at least 2 million kids under age 5 to the doctor or hospital each year. Symptoms include shortness of breath, a "seal bark" cough, fever, stuffy nose, and wheezing. It's most common from late fall through early spring.
See How to Stay Healthy at Work
Strep throat
Ouch. Strep brings fever, stomach pain, and red, swollen tonsils. Since strep-causing bacteria migrate to the nose and throat, sneezing, coughing, and shaking hands can spread it from person to person. Strep requires antibiotic treatment, but kids typically recover within a few days. If it's not treated, it can trigger scarlet fever — all the symptoms associated with strep, along with a scarlet-colored rash that commonly appears on the neck, chest, armpits, elbows, groin, and inner thighs.
You know the symptoms: Fever. Coughing and a sore throat. Headache and runny nose. Chills, fatigue, and maybe some nausea and vomiting. Flu season typically starts in October, peaks in January, February, and March, and winds down in May. The federal government recommends everyone 6 months and older get the flu shot, which arrives in most towns this month. The sooner you and your kids get the shot, the sooner you're all protected. It doesn't wear off: If you get vaccinated now, you'll still be protected when flu season wraps up next year. Although it doesn't completely rule out the chance of getting sick, the vaccine reduces the likelihood by 70 to 90 percent, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Head lice
These tiny, parasitic insects live among human hairs, feeding on blood drawn from the scalp. Three- to 12-year-old girls are particularly at risk, although boys in that age range are not immune. Contrary to popular perception, personal hygiene has nothing to do with getting head lice. Adult lice are about the size of a sesame seed; eggs are similar to dandruff flakes. Lice are very contagious — close contact and sharing hats or hairbrushes hike the risk. Both over-the-counter and prescription medications can treat the problem
As Cali Goes….
Most Americans are probably enjoying their favorite snack at this very moment as major food companies fight to maintian complete disclosure of the GM (Genetically Modified) indredients used in those same products. Say hello to Prop 37; legislation that would require labels on ALL food identifying GM ingredients. GMO's have been linked to cancer, diabetes and any other preventive disease imaginable.
The right to know what you're consuming seems like a non issue, right? Apparently not to the 18 companies listed below as they've spared no expense in fighting the truth.

You are What you Eat

30 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself
Stop spending time with the wrong people. – Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you. If someone wants you in their life, they'll make room for you. You shouldn't have to fight for a spot. Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth. And remember, it's not the people that stand by your side when you're at your best, but the ones who stand beside you when you're at your worst that are your true friends.
Stop running from your problems. – Face them head on. No, it won't be easy. There is no person in the world capable of flawlessly handling every punch thrown at them. We aren't supposed to be able to instantly solve problems. That's not how we're made. In fact, we're made to get upset, sad, hurt, stumble and fall. Because that's the whole purpose of living – to face problems, learn, adapt, and solve them over the course of time. This is what ultimately molds us into the person we become.
Stop lying to yourself. – You can lie to anyone else in the world, but you can't lie to yourself. Our lives improve only when we take chances, and the first and most difficult chance we can take is to be honest with ourselves. Read The Road Less Traveled.
Stop putting your own needs on the back burner. – The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too. Yes, help others; but help yourself too. If there was ever a moment to follow your passion and do something that matters to you, that moment is now. [Read more…]

With wings of faith, you can rise and soar!
- Guideposts reader Angela Martinez
But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. (Psalm 86:15)
Spring sun settles on my shoulders as I watch the younger two boys charge around the yard.
They're running a long loop inside the fence line with greyhound Flash. As they stretch and shout and laugh and enjoy this day full force, I can't help but notice that they're running through spring's fast crop of dandelions. They crush under the boys' feet.
Seeing the dandelions makes me sad.
It's not displeasure that our yard is temporarily overrun with weeds. It's not the work that it will take to make the lawn lush and green. It's a missing in my heart. It's a longing for dandelion-bouquet days–love-offering weed bouquets from my favorite little men. I fear we've moved past such times. The tradition of blond-headed boys presenting fistfuls of droopy dandelions is 20 years long and I don't feel quite ready to outgrow this phase.
Sitting at the patio table, I fall deep into a mourning for yesterday, wearing it like a familiar garment that I pull around me. The boys are growing quickly. Things are changing. There's nothing I can do about it. Will life be this sweet again?
I watch the boys for a few minutes. I listen to their laughter and see their long legs pump. I watch Flash cower down and faux-pounce and witness as my sons take off for the chase. I hardly notice that the porch door has opened and 12-year-old Sam has sat down.
"I feel good about starting swim club again," he says. He smiles and raises his eyebrows in the way he does when he speaks. "The exercise feels good."
Soon we're chatting about swim club and a book he's read and the color he'd like to one day paint his room. We talk about the focaccia bread he's making for dinner and the movie night he had with a friend. Samuel, like always, shares a mile a minute. He wears his life on his sleeve. It's easy to see. Easy to enjoy.
And I understand, sitting there with my young-man boy, that this stretching, this experiencing a child's growth, can be a very good thing. We can talk about grown-up things. We have some shared interests. We can challenge one another. We can mull serious things. But we can let loose and laugh like wild, too.
I'm grateful that as our children grow, God is compassionate. I'm thankful that he replaces sweet young-child blessings with other precious things. Sometimes I just need to uncurl my clenched fist so he can fill my hand with new blessing.
Sam is in the center of telling me about a summer plan when I look up and see that the smaller boys have stopped running. They're hunkered down in the yard.
Picking dandelions.
I watch them lope across the lawn, the heavy heads of their weed-bouquet flowers drooping over their still-small fists, and I'm overwhelmed.
First the blessing of connecting with a growing-up son. And now a bouquet of dandelions, too.
Lord, how awesome you are to know the tender places of a mama's heart. Thank you for abundant compassion. Amen.
