text:
Web services are virtual software components that can be accessed and invoked through a variety of protocols and formats. The environment for these components is heterogeneous and distributed. As a result, a secure communication infrastructure is required to ensure the security of the messages (and the content) among these components.
Web Services Security (WS-Security or WSS) is flexible and designed to be used as the basis for the construction of a wide variety of security models, including public key infrastructure (PKI), Kerberos, and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Specifically, WS-Security provides support for multiple security tokens, multiple trust domains, multiple signature formats, and multiple encryption technologies.
This specification provides three main mechanisms:
- security token propagation
- message integrity
- message confidentiality.
These mechanisms by themselves do not provide a complete security solution. Instead, WS-Security is a building block that can be used in conjunction with other Web service extensions and higher-level application-specific protocols to accommodate a wide variety of security models and encryption technologies. These mechanisms can be used independently (for example, to pass a security token) or in a tightly integrated manner (for example, to sign and encrypt a message and to provide a security token hierarchy associated with the keys used for signing and encryption).
This article assumes a basic knowledge of Web services, J2EE technologies and WebSphere® Application Server V5.0.2. After reading this article, you will have an understanding of how to use WS-Security in your existing infrastructure and appreciate the declarative programming model that WebSphere Application Server V5.0.2 provides for securing your applications' communication infrastructure.
WS-Security in WebSphere Application Server V5.0.2
WebSphere Application Server V5.0.2 uses a declarative model for using WS-Security. It can be created and modified using WebSphere Studio Application Developer Version 5.1, the Application Server Toolkit (ASTK) available in WebSphere Application Server V5.0.2, or the WebSphere administrative console. For the purpose of providing a deeper understanding of the technology, we will describe the manual procedure here.
The security tokens that can be propagated are Username token, X.509-based certificates, and Lightweight Third Party Authentication (LTPA); there is also an API provided for plugging in user-defined tokens. Message integrity is provided by digital signatures based on PKI (currently, there is no support for symmetric key signatures) and XML Encryption provides confidentiality.
The WebSphere security handlers read the declared deployment extensions to obtain the configuration and enforce the WS-Security infrastructure, as shown in Figure 1. These are implemented as WebSphere runtime-based JAX-RPC handlers, and are transparent to the application developer.
Figure 1. WS-Security in WebSphere Application Server V5.0.2
The sample account service
WebSphere Application Server V5.0.2 offers an elegant and powerful way to enable WS-Security to provide MLS for your application's communication link. It enables you to take any existing service's Web Services Description Language (WSDL) and provide the necessary WS-Security extensions and bindings to secure the messages between your Web service client and server.
This article assumes there is an existing Web service that needs to be enabled for WS-Security. The example service used here is an AccountService, provided by a fictitious bank, SomeBank.
The AccountService is a simple Web service; for demonstration purposes, the service does no real business processing. It contains a simple operation accountEnquiry, which takes an AccountRequest message and returns an AccountResponse message. The AccountRequest message contains AccountID and AccountType information. The AccountResponse contains the balance for the account information passed. The accountEnquiry operation does not do any processing based on the request message, but instead returns a fixed balance value of 12345.0. However, these messages are important because we will monitor them going over the wire using tcpmon (a utility to visually snoop messages) -- looking at the unsecured wire message formats and then later with the various WS-Security configurations.
For ease of demonstration, the accountEnquiry operation has been exposed as four separate ports within the service; the ports will be used when WS-Security in configured. For the unsecured service, however, all the ports are similar. The individual ports are discussed when configuring WS-Security for the AccountService.
First, install the unsecured AccountService and its client.
Install and run the unsecured service
To install and test the unsecured AccountService:
- Download and extract the
WSS-Sample.zipfile into a temporary directory.
- Using the WebSphere administrative console, install the enterprise application AccountService (the
SomeBankService.earfile). This is available under the
code/servicedirectory. Make sure you choose the default options and save the configuration after the install.
- Start the enterprise application using the console.
- Launch a browser and test whether the service is available by accessing
http://localhost:9080/SomeBankService/services/SomeBankPort. If you get the message "And now ... Some Services", you have successfully configured the SomeBank AccountService.
- You can also check the AccountService WSDL by accessing
http://localhost:9080/SomeBankService/services/SomeBankPort?WSDL. The WSDL should be similar to the WSDL shown in the Appendix.
Instal and run the unsecured client
To install the client for the AccountService:
- Using the WebSphere administrative console, install the Web application (the
SomeBankClient.warfile). This is available under the
code/clientdirectory. While installing the WAR file, make sure you enter the Context Root for the Web module. Select the defaults and save the configuration after the install.
- Start the Web application using the console.
- Launch a browser and test whether the client is installed correctly by accessing it at
- You should see screen shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2. The AccountService client
- The default selections of the client are available and can be used to test the AccountService just installed. Click Submit and you will see the results page shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3. The client results page
Now that the service and client have been successfully installed, review the client input options:
- Account ID and Account Type: These are dummy inputs because the service response is fixed. However, they are important because you can see them when you monitor the messages using
- Message Encryption: Turns on XML Encryption of the messages on the wire after WS-Security is configured, providing confidentiality of the messages.
- Message Signing: Turns on XML Digital Signature of the messages on the wire after WS-Security is configured, providing message integrity.
- Service Port: Points to the HTTP-based port on which the service is available. You can use this option to point to a
tcpmonproxy port (discussed next) for observing the Web service request and response messages.
- Transport Protocol: To choose whether to use SSL or not. When HTTPS is selected, the client is hardwired to use the WebSphere internal SSL port, 9443. Obviously, when this is selected
tcpmonis not able to observe the messages over the wire.
Therefore, for configuring the security options using both MLS and TLS, there are eight combinations, made up of:
- XML Encryption [on/off]
- Digital Signing [on/off]
- SSL [on/off].
This makes the client versatile enough to watch the mechanisms of WS-Security.
Using tcpmon to observe the messages
tcpmon is a utility shipped with WebSphere Application Server V5.0.2. Using a proxy port,
tcpmon can be used to view and inspect SOAP messages (request and response).
To configure
tcpmon for monitoring the messages in the unsecured scenario:
- Check if there is a
tcpmon.batunder the
<WAS_HOME>/bindirectory. If there is one, proceed to Step 3.
- Create a
tcpmon.batfile by copying and pasting Listing 1 into a file.
Listing 1. Source for tcpmon.bat
@REM Copyright IBM Corp. 2002 , 2003 @setlocal @echo off SET CONSOLE_ENCODING=-Dws.output.encoding=console call "%~dp0setupCmdLine.bat" "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" %CONSOLE_ENCODING% "- Dws.ext.dirs=%WAS_EXT_DIRS%;%WAS_USER_DIRS%" -classpath "%WAS_HOME%"\lib\webservices.jar;"%WAS_CLASSPATH%";"%CLASSPATH%" com.ibm.ws.bootstrap.WSLauncher com.ibm.ws.webservices.engine.utils.tcpmon @endlocal
- Run the
tcpmon.batprogram and you will see the screen shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4. Tcpmon Admin window
- Enter an available port (for example,
9999) for the Listen Port #.
- Enter
localhostfor Target Hostname.
- Enter
9080(WebSphere internal HTTP port) for the Target Port #.
- Click Add to display a panel that listens to port 9999 and forwards the request to localhost:9080.
- Now, switch to the browser that has the AccountService client and enter port
9999for Service Port. Click Submit.
- The Account Service client behaves as before. In the
tcpmonpanel, notice the request (the upper panel) and response (the lower panel) messages as shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5. Tcpmon showing intercepted messages
Look at the messages carefully, especially the SOAP header and body. Identify the SOAP body of the request, which contains the request parameters
accountID and
accountType. Similarly, inspect the SOAP body of the response.
Because WS-Security is not configured, selecting the Message Signing and Message Encryption options on the client will create the same messages over the wire.
Now that you are comfortable running the service and the client, and using
tcpmon to intercept and inspect the SOAP messages flowing over the wire, you can apply WS-Security to AccountService.
Applying WS-Security
Before applying WS-Security to the AccountService, review the AccountService WSDL and IBM declarative Web services extensions for WebSphere.
Looking closer at the WSDL
Listing 2 shows the WSDL section that is key to enabling WS-Security. Four different ports are used for the service to demonstrate all combinations of MLS, namely:
- Only Digital Signature (using WSS XML Signatures for message integrity).
- Only XML Encryption (using WSS XML Encryption for message confidentiality).
- Both Digital Signature and XML Encryption (for integrity and confidentiality).
- No message-level security.
In practice, you would not need to define all the different security configurations for one single operation. However, to demonstrate all combinations supported by WS-Security, this example introduces multiple service endpoints for one single operation.
Listing 2. SomeBank service section from AccountService WSDL
The important attributes to note in the WSDL Service section are those highlighted in bold. References to these will be used in the WS-Security declarations in the IBM extensions and bindings for WebSphere Application Server V5.0.2.
Looking at the WebSphere Web Services Security extensions
Before applying WS-Security, it will be useful to tour the key Web services deployment descriptor files. Figure 6 shows a topological view of the various descriptors.
Figure 6. JSR101 and JSR109 artifacts in WebSphere
The Enterprise Web services for J2EE specification (JSR109) introduces a Web services deployment descriptor called
webservices.xml. This file defines the set of Web services that are to be deployed in a Web services for J2EE-enabled container. This file is generated by the WSDL2Java tool when specifying the server role. It is packaged in the same directory as the module deployment descriptor, that is,
META-INF for EJB modules and
WEB-INF for WAR modules.
Similarly, for the client side, JSR109 introduces the
webservicesclient.xml file. The
webservices.xml deployment descriptor contains service reference entries. These entries declare references to Web services used by a J2EE component in the Web, EJB, or application client container. The
webservicesclient.xml file is also packaged in the same directory as the deployment descriptor for the module.
In addition to these standard deployment descriptors, IBM provides extensions to both the service and the client as shown in Figure 7. For the service, IBM provides the
ibm-webservices-ext.xmi file (which defines the extensions used by the service) and the
ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi file (which defines the bindings for the extensions to work). Similarly for the client, IBM provides the
ibm-webservicesclient-ext.xmi and the
ibm-webservicesclient-bnd.xmi files.
Figure 7. IBM Web services extensions for WebSphere Application Server V5.0.2
For the purposes of enabling WSS, this article is only concerned with the IBM extension files. IBM provides for WS-Security through extensions for J2EE because deployment descriptors have not yet been standardized. To avoid the need to generate X.509-based certificates and keystores, this article re-uses the sample keystore files that are part of the WebSphere Application Server V5.0.2 install. The sample keystores are based on the JCE (Java Cryptography Extension) keystore (JCEKS) and the traditional keystore in the standard JDK (JKS). The JCEKS-based keystore is used for XML Encryption. The JKS-based keystore is used for XML Digital Signatures. These keystores are located under the directory
Securing the service
Depending on the kind of container (EJB or Web) chosen for the service, the descriptor files generated are placed under the relevant module directory (
META-INF or
WEB-INF respectively). The SomeBank AccountService uses the Java bean-based implementation, which runs in the WebSphere Web container.
First, apply the WS-Security extensions. Use the following steps to WSS-enable and apply the desired security characteristics for each port of the AccountService:
- Back up the files under the
- Move to the unzipped sample directory
- Copy the
ibm-webservices-bnd.xmifiles to the
code/service/BankWAR/WEB-INFdirectory. Click Yes to overwrite it.
- Move to the
code/service/BankWARdirectory and issue the following command:
%WAS_HOME%/java/bin/jar cvf ..\SomeBankService.war WEB-INF META-INF
- Move to the
code/servicedirectory and issue the following command:
%WAS_HOME%/java/bin/jar cvf SomeBankService.ear SomeBankService.war META-INF
- Run the endpoint enabler on the resultant EAR file.
%WAS_HOME%/bin/endptenabler SomeBankService.ear
- Open the WebSphere administration console, and stop and uninstall the unsecured AccountService. Save the master configuration after applying the changes.
- Re-start the WebSphere Application Server.
- Now, install the WSS-enabled AccountService following the steps provided for the unsecured AccountService.
- Run the same tests and also check the WSDL response, as before.
Next, examine the WS-Security IBM extension files just copied. It is important to note that no code modifications were needed to WSS-enable the AccountService. It is a pure declarative and elegant mechanism provided by WebSphere.
The original
ibm-webservices-ext.xmi file contains only the empty elements for each of the service endpoints defined in the WSDL service section. For each service endpoint, depending on the desired message level security, you apply the corresponding WSS declaration.
Now, examine the WSS-enabled
ibm-webservices-ext.xmi file (available under
code/snippets/service ). Because the service will use "symmetric" security, each port has a requestor sub-element (
<securityRequestReceiverConfig>) and a response sub-element (
For the signed port, SomeBankPortSigned, the service endpoint expects to only apply message integrity (the
<requiredIntegrity> element) to the body part of the SOAP message.
For the encrypted port, SomeBankPortEncrypted, the service endpoint expects to only apply encryption to provide message confidentiality (the
<requiredConfidentiality> element). By specifying
bodycontent , only the body of the SOAP message is encrypted.
The SomeBankPortSignedAndEncrypted uses both of the signed and encrypted elements mentioned above to provide message integrity and confidentiality.
You must provide a binding for these declared security artifacts. The second file
ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi contains the bindings. The bindings are built using the sample keystores and certificate chains that are part of the WebSphere Application Server V5.0.2 installation. Depending on the port characteristic, X.509-based certificates are used to sign and encrypt the messages.
To extrapolate this and apply it to your own custom Web service, you just need to modify the IBM extension files and copy the corresponding stanza, depending on the security characteristic you desire. Make sure that you copy the correct and consistent stanza (they are conveniently partitioned and commented in the samples) and apply it for both the
*.ext and
*.bnd files.
Securing the client
Before securing the client, use the following exercise to test the expected case where a WSS-enabled service will not respond to an unsecured client. Select the Message Signing or the Message Encryption options on the client and click Submit (remember that WS-Security is configured for a combination of these two options). The client will not get a response and the log files display the corresponding security error.
Perform the following steps to WSS-enable the client:
- Back up the files under the
- Move to the unzipped sample directory
- Copy the
ibm-webservicesclient-bnd.xmifiles to the
code/client/WEB-INFdirectory. Click Yes to overwrite it.
- Move to the
code/clientdirectory and issue the following command:
%WAS_HOME%/java/bin/jar cvf SomeBankClient.war WEB-INF META-INF *.jsp *.GIF
- Open the WebSphere administration console, and stop and uninstall the unsecured client. Save the master configuration after applying the changes.
- Re-start the WebSphere Application Server.
- Now, install the WSS-enabled client following the steps performed earlier for the unsecured client.
- Test the client as you did previously, choosing the Message Encryption and Signing radio buttons to test the WSS functionality.
ibm-webservicesclient-ext.xmi and
ibm-webservicesclient-bnd.xmi files contain entries similar to the corresponding entries for each port in the services extension files examined earlier.
Inspect the secured messages using tcpmon
tcpmon as before and configure a proxy port to inspect the WSS-related SOAP messages. Make sure you provide the proxy port as input to the Service Port field on the sample client.
When you select only the Message Signing option, you will see that a WSS
<Security> element has been placed in the SOAP Header for both the request and response. This security element contains the
<Signature> sub-element which, in turn, contains the XML Digital Signature. The values of the parameters in the SOAP Body are still clear text. XML Digital Signature only ensures message integrity. This means that the message has not been tampered with in its path from the requestor to the provider and back. For convenience, these messages can also be viewed by looking at the
code/tcpmon/signed.xml file.
When you select only the Message Encryption option, you will see again the WSS
<Security> element in the SOAP Header. However, this time it contains the
<Encrypted> element containing information about the key, cipher, and so on. Additionally, the SOAP body does not have the clear text for the parameters. The request and response in the SOAP body have been encrypted and are contained in the
<EncryptedData> element. XML Encryption provides confidentiality, which guarantees that the data passed between the requester and provider is protected from eavesdroppers (like
tcpmon!). For convenience, these messages can be viewed by looking at the
code/tcpmon/encrypted.xml file.
Finally, select both Message Encryption and Signing. This time,
tcpmon shows both the
<EncryptedKey> and
<Signature> elements within the WSS
<Security> element contained in the SOAP Header. The SOAP body is encrypted and cannot be read to spy on the parameter. Hence, this option provides both message integrity and confidentiality. These messages can also be viewed in the
code/tcpmon/signed+encrypted.xml file.
When none of these options is enabled, the messages look like the unsecured messages inspected earlier.
Applying transport level security
Web services security infrastructure provides message-level security only. Additional steps are required for enabling TLS.
The sample code has already been enabled to use HTTPS/SSL. You can inspect the file
Certain SSL-related properties need to be set for the client JVM to make it aware of the protocol handlers and the location of the keystores. The code fragment in Listing 3 uses the stores shipped with WebSphere for providing the default security for its Web server. These properties need to be initialized before any SSL-related client invocation; a good place would be the rudimentary servlet's init method, as shown in the SomeBankServlet class.
Listing 3. Code fragment to set SSL properties
System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs", "com.ibm.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol"); System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", "etc\\DummyClientKeyFile.jks"); System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "WebAS"); System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "etc\\DummyClientTrustFile.jks"); System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "WebAS");
Next, the endpoint accessed by the client needs to point to the SSL port, for example:
https://localhost:9443/SomeBank/services/BankService/SomeBankPortSigned. This can be done in two ways:
- Changing the endpoint string in the locator file (
- Modifying the code to set the endpoint on the client stub dynamically (as in the case of the sample). This is demonstrated in the following code fragment:
((javax.xml.rpc.Stub) portTypeSigned)._setProperty(END_POINT, getLocatorURL(dataBean)+"/SomeBankPortSigned");
The getLocatorURL method inspects whether HTTP or HTTPS has been selected on the client and whether the client returns the fully formed URL to be used, for example,
Application of Web Services Security is quite straightforward in WebSphere Application Server V5.0.2. This is primarily due to the declarative model used to enable the security infrastructure. It provides a complete separation of the application development from the security aspects.
WS-Security incurs processing overhead and slows response times. Therefore, it should be used selectively based on compelling requirements mandated by application use cases. However, when a certain scenario warrants its use, WS-Security can be supported by supplementing the descriptor files with IBM extensions. As Web Services Security becomes adopted in the J2EE space, the IBM extensions will be provided through standard J2EE-based deployment descriptors.

Sophia Kapiris' designs, worn by the likes of Khloe Kardashian, will be on show at local fashion event to be held at the Cremorne Hotel
- From: Eastern Courier Messenger
- May 23, 2014
FASHIONISTA Sophia Kapiris started sewing clothes in her bedroom as a teenager.
Six years later, her dresses are worn by the rich and famous across the world, including Khloe Kardashian.
Kapiris's label SCK, launched with her business partner and cousin Leannda Kapiris in November, will feature in the SA Fashion Flaunt event in Unley tonight.
The 24-year-old self-taught seamstress, of Two Wells, says her label — sold at Unley's Canterbury Lace — is booming since Kardashian wore one of her designs to a Hollywood party last month.
"I remember making my first dress when I was 18 … and now I've got this crazy love for dresses." Kapiris says.
"I'm the only person in the family to have a passion for fashion — my family farm tomatoes and zucchinis."
The SA Fashion Flaunt is a series of parades showcasing local fashion labels across various Adelaide venues.
Model Rebecca Boggiano, who is in the running to be this year's Miss Universe Australia, will be involved in the Unley event.
"There aren't many runway events in Adelaide so I'm definitely very excited about this," Ms Boggiano, of Blackwood, says.
The free Unley Fashion Flaunt will be held at the Cremorne Hotel, 207 Unley Rd, tonight (May 23), 7.30pm-11pm.

About a year and a half ago I was diagnosed with HPV. I had the "sympotoms" removed and haven't had a problem since.I told my DR that I was diagnosed a while ago and she was not concerned. Now, I think that the hormones from pregnancy may have cause a flair up. Not a huge flair up, but still something I would like taken care of. Does anyone else have HPV and had to deal with it durning pregnancy?
HPV and pregnancy?

I do have HPV I havent noticed any symptom flare ups at the moment but my midwife appt is today and I will bring it up with her and ask for you if it flairs up during pregnancy :)

I have HPV (unfortunately) and I haven't had any issues with this pregnancy, but right after my last D and C and I did and my dr said that during pregnancy or right after it is common to have a flair up because our immune systems are lessened? Its no fun, but I would call your dr so they can get you taken care of.
We asked about it at our first appointment and the OB said that the only issue she'd ever seen with HPV is that a woman had such an issue with the "symptoms" that there was physical obstructions to a vaginal delivery. Otherwise, she said it's no big deal.
I have HPV too but never had any symptoms. I only know I have it because my paps came back normal but positive with HPV. I have to get another pap before I deliver. Other than that, my doctor doesn't seem too concerned about it.

I have HPV, too, but have never had a outbreak. The only reason I know is because I asked to be tested. At this point that was five years ago and still nothing so there's a chance it could be gone. I'm getting tested before delivery, too.

There's two different symptoms of HPV that can flare up while pregnant - abnormal cells in your cervix or genital warts. The symptoms depend on which strain of HPV you have. Both symptoms can flare up during pregnancy b/c while you're pregnant you are immuno-suppressant. Your immune system is what fights off the HPV virus. Your body can actually fight the entire virus off and out of your system completely! Or you can have flareups during pregnancy. It all depends on the woman and her immune system. Treatments vary for both symptoms. So without knowing which ones you're having, its hard to explain the various treatments. It also depends on your OB whether they'll want to do treatments while you're pregnant or wait until after the LO is born. For abnormal cells in your cervix, I've never heard of having treatments while pregnant done. For warts, I have. It depends on your OB.

Three Athletes, One Goal, and Less Than Four Minutes to Achieve ItThere was a time when running the mile in four minutes was believed to be beyond the limits of human foot speed, and in all of sport it was the elusive holy grail. In 1952, after suffering defeat at the Helsinki Olympics, three world-class runners each set out to break this barrier. Roger Bannister was a young English medical student who epitomized the ideal of the amateur - still driven not just
A Visionary Teacher, His FIRST Robotics Team, and the Ultimate Battle of SmartsThat Monday afternoon, in high-school gyms across America, kids were battling for the only glory American culture seems to want to dispense to the young these days: sports glory.

An interview with Sara Daleiden
With a host of successful projects behind her in Los Angeles, Waukesha native Sara Daleiden has been turning her attention back to Milwaukee, looking for ways to give back to the art community that formed her. In recent months, she has become a thoughtful, quiet force of influence to both individual artists and arts organizations here.
Milwaukee Art Museum will be free this weekend
The Milwaukee Art Museum's admission will be free on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. This is to mark the opening of "30 Americans," a multi-generational art exhibit featuring the work of African American artists.
Many of the artists in the exhibit address issues of race and cultural identity in very direct ways, and the show is one of the first in the museum's featured exhibition space to explore such issues so directly. The museum has also placed "Wisconsin 30" an exhibit of 30 African American artists from the state on view. »Read Full Blog Post

CBNNews.com - GAZA STRIP - Senior Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Zahar spurred on Hamas operatives "to crush" Israel Defense Forces (IDF) troops who have entered the Gaza Strip.
"We must be patient until we are victorious. Allah will help us," al-Zahar told Hamas fighters, in a speech broadcast by the terror group's al-Aksa television.
"[Israelis] have legitimized the killing of their children by killing our children," he said.
"They have legitimized the killing of their people all over the world by killing our people," al-Zahar said. "Crush your enemy," he said.
"The rockets launched by resistance [sic] fighters have broken Israel's security perceptions," the Hamas leader said, promising that the group would destroy Israeli synagogues and schools, as IAF (Israel Air Force) air strikes destroyed mosques in the Gaza Strip.
In the first week of the Operation Cast Lead, the IAF destroyed at least two mosques in Gaza, which served as weapons and munitions warehouses and meeting places for planning terror attacks.
According to media reports, it was difficult to tell if al-Zahar's speech was taped, though he reportedly went into hiding days after the Gaza op began, along with Ismail Haniyeh and Said Siam.

I think so, yes. Most of his fans seem to genuinely respect him and like him for the right reasons. He didnt really start off with a bandwagon. Built his up the hard way. I'm also confused why people say hes picking on smaller fighters yet he's generally undersized at middle... And he's been fighting Middles..not to mention the biggest middle we've seen in some time. Most his "haters" seem to not like him out of fear for Floyd or Canelo (dot know why...) or for no reason that to just not like him. Well spoken, has taken "losses" with a lot of class and has had politics completely s hit on him yet he just did his thing. Dude has been the peoples champ for a bit now. If only he was younger. But I guess doing his thing at his age and starting late is part of the allure.

Stoner Doom
Smoke and Feathers, the Austin, Texas, psychedelic rock band that are recording with Chris "Frenchie" Smith, recently plowed through Tempe in August. During that gig, we chewed a couple brownies, gave them a careful listen, and decided that anyone who caught them at the Sail Inn definitely wants to know about their return to downtown Phoenix. Playing turgid stoner rock with enough breaks, bitch-slapping solos, and changes to keep you from languishing in dreamland for too long, theyll probably blow out the tiny record store's windows.
Openers are metal-core band Tintype and the ambient and upbeat Underground Cities, who are promoting their recent release The Dalliance Album. Normally a Movie Monday, some folks may show up for Escape From New York, but we think headbanger Snake Plissken will understand.

Access Midstream Partners LP (UNKNOWN: ACMP.DL ) said in a press release that it will acquire the bulk of Chesapeake Energy's (NYSE: CHK ) natural gas gathering and processing assets. The price is $2.16 billion in cash. The purchase adds to and expands Access' gathering and processing capacity in five natural gas plays.
According to the company, its purchase "provides immediate entry to gathering opportunities in key liquids-rich regions and to the processing and fractionation segments of the midstream value chain."
In another development, Access and Williams Cos. (NYSE: WMB ) both announced in separate press releases that the latter is to acquire around 25% of Access, and a 50% stake in Access Midstream Partners GP (the entity holding general-partner control of the similarly named LP).
Previously, Access Midstream Partners LP was a unit of Chesapeake. Earlier this year, it bought a number of assets divested by its former parent.

When it comes to living the life that you want to live, one thing stands out most for many people and many homeowners. That one thing is the cleanliness of their home. Unfortunately, for many people residing in Ontario cities such as North York, Vaughan, Richmond Hill and Uxbridge, the pace of life is too high. Therefore, it is becoming harder to find enough time to clean their homes in the way that they should.
Fortunately, there are maid and cleaning services that are ready to help these homeowner achieve what they need. In Richmond Hill, maids and cleaning service providers are now available who can come into the home and clean in quickly and efficiently. There are also ecological and environmentally friendly Vaughan cleaning services that can do the house cleaning task in a very clear way. More people are using these types of services because of the increase in the lifestyle and pace of today's modern individuals. This article describes some of the things that people do to clean their home quickly.
So what is it that these people want? Let's consider the average family in a city like Uxbridge today. How can an Uxbridge cleaning service help that family? The answer is simple, by saving them time. A family of four people can be quite busy. Today's modern family in Ontario is busy during the week with work and busy during the weekends with sports and family events. So when can they do the cleaning, the dishes, the dusting and more? That's where an Uxbridge maid house cleaning service can help.
In recent years, one of the cleaning trends that have been increasing in popularity is to use environmentally friendly methods and techniques. These are great because they help the homeowner live a healthier happier life, and they are great for the environment. Some of these methods are also excellent if you have pets and children because it safeguards the quality of the air in the home. It also avoids using any harsh chemicals and other material that may not be great for people's health. Using an ecological cleaning service is probably the best thing that one can do for their family in the long run.
There are many things to be cleaned in a home including carpets, bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms and more. Go to http://www.royalmaids.ca to learn more maids and cleaning services in the GTA and southern Ontario. More people than ever today are using reputable maids to enhance their lifestyle. This trend is bound to continue.

How a 16-Year-Old Girl Explained the Sacraments to a Catholic Interrogator in 1554
In early 1554 Queen Mary I sent John de Feckenham to seek to persuade her 16-year-old Protestant cousin, the Lady Jane Grey, of the truth of the Catholic faith, thereby avoiding execution
"God forbid that I should say that I eat the very natural body and blood of Christ; for then either I should pluck away my redemption, or else there were two bodies, or two Christs. One body was tormented on the cross, and if they did eat another body, then had he two bodies; or... Continue Reading

Jesus Loves Me, This I Know…
In recent years, myriads of books have been written to seek to convince men --and particularly women-- of the love of Christ. Jesus Calling is one such example.
The quest for a subjective experience of the love of Christ apart from Scripture also often comes in the form of superstitious readings of nature or providence. One sees a rainbow or a beautiful sunset and thinks, "This is a sign of God's love for me." Someone narrowly escapes a near-death incident and thinks, "Now... Continue Reading
Older, Restful, and Reforming

For all the flack the millennials take in the wider culture, the millennials I meet in the gospel-centered tribe seem more mature, more settled." I never set out to "join a movement." I...

10 Questions To Ask a Pastoral Search Committee
I have learned several important questions a pastoral candidate should ask
"Ask them about church finances and seek documentation. A financial crisis can devastate your ministry, yet it is one of those topics we tend not to think about when considering a pastoral position. Theology? We think of that. Methodology? Check. What happened to the last pastor? Got that. Finances don't often rank as a vital... Continue Reading
Does This Mean Black Lives Matter is Fundamentalist?
Children of white privilege who attend elite universities and have little experience with African-American communities are joining the ranks of Black Lives Matter to create a large social movement
"The leaders of Black Lives Matter are telling Americans they have something to do right now. My question: why does Corey worry about fundamentalism and not about Black Lives Matter? His answer might be that Black Lives Matter has a point. But what if fundamentalism has a point? Would that make extremism okay?" Benjamin... Continue Reading
How Pornography Kills Ambition
Porn's isolating emphasis on pleasing myself actually made me less myself
"Pornography is an acid to this kind of holy ambition. The problem is not only that the person addicted to porn spends so much time with it, though that is a problem. A much larger issue is that pornography invites its user to enter into a private world of fantasy, pleasure and power, and it... Continue Reading
Pastoral Advice for Minority Pastors Shepherding White Christians in Predominately Minority Contexts
Ethnic minority pastors should intentionally pursue ways to live out the one new man in Christ
"This complicated history of minority and white relations in the U.S. could make it awkward for those within the white majority when they humbly submit to minority leadership in sacred spaces, voluntarily sacrifice their majority status, and serve in sacred spaces under minority leadership in minority contexts. Their willingness to do so is a beautiful,... Continue Reading
Therapeutic Praise
The ancient Psalms are experiencing somewhat of a revival in various places. Why?
Some Christian songs are emotionally stirring, but have little theological content; the heart is engaged, but not the mind. Over-reacting to this, some have composed songs that are full of theological facts, but don't engage the worshipper's feelings. They are more like sung sermons. The Psalms strike an inspired balance of doxological theology and theological... Continue Reading
The Necessity of a Divine Mediator
Why is it important for Jesus to be God? Without this being his identity, you would have no Savior.
Finally, our mediator needs to be divine so "that he might…bring [us] to everlasting salvation" (Q&A 38). His divinity has sustained the wrath of God against him because of our sins. His divinity gave infinite value to his work on our behalf. His divinity has satisfied God's eternal justice against our sins. His divinity has... Continue Reading
Will the Supreme Court Turn against Religious Liberty – Part 1
The disfavoring of religion in court decisions of recent decades is resulting in the exclusion of religion from society
The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) highlighted the crossroads situation that America faces with respect to religious liberty in two panel discussions at Capitol Hill on September 16. These discussed first the only religious liberty case now accepted by the Supreme Court, Trinity Lutheran Church vs. Pauley, and a second panel concerning the future direction that...

Van Til's Critique of Barth's Christology (Part 2)
Barthianism is not simply a different expression of Christianity, but a different religion altogether
Or, to put the matter in the form of a question: is there any way to conceive of Barthianism and (Reformed) Christianity as friends? The answer must be Nein! For this reason, we find the recent dismissals of Van Til's critique by current evangelical theologians somewhat troubling. What is perhaps even more disturbing is the... Continue Reading
Prey to Being Positive?
At risk of being 'jaundiced against joy', I've often remarked how the 'positivity police' who cry 'stop being negative', are often among the most negative people I know.
If I'm now in danger of being too negative, never preach heaven if you do not warn of hell. Never preach blessing unless you threaten curse. Don't omit wrath when you assure 'no condemnation'. I hope I'm not guilty of overstating the case. If anything, I think, the opposite is true. The sparkling Gospel diamond... Continue Reading
Regret Will Kill You Unless You Kill It With Promises
The life-giving promises of Scripture are the God-appointed means of renewing our mind when we feel regret
The human mind struggles to grasp these truths. We have no mental framework for this type of response. When someone sins against us, we don't respond this way. Perhaps, if God is gracious, we are able to forgive the person for the wrong they've done. Our offer of forgiveness means that we will not seek... Continue Reading
The Church Here and There (Turretin)
Christ's church exists in a twofold state: on earth, and in heaven.
In Reformed theology there are various ways to describe Christ's church. One of the descriptions is to distinguish between the church militant and the church triumphant. This is not to say there are two churches. It is simply a way to explain the state or degree of Christ's church. Christ's church exists in a twofold... Continue Reading
The Call to Discipleship: Moving Beyond Reactionary Ethics
The answer, of course, is in the gospel of Christ, and it is only being Christ-centered that Christian ethics can really be truly Christian.
On the other hand, what characterizes modernity's (and much of contemporary Christianity's) "naive and confused love" is a failure to grasp "one of the conditions for authentic love": renunciation and sacrifice. In the gospel, Pinckaers reminds us, "radical self-renunciation is a necessary condition for love of Christ." And it is that sort of love, a... Continue Reading
Why Every Parent Should Embrace Their Inability
Adapted from Parenting: "The 14 Gospel Principles That Can Radically Change Your Family" by Paul David Tripp.
Here's the bottom line for every parent: the change that has to happen in each of your children, you can't create. In fact, nowhere in his Word has God tasked you with the responsibility to create it. Good parenting is about becoming okay with the fact that you are powerless to change your child. In...

Americans Love God and the Bible, Are Fuzzy on the Details
Most Americans still identify as Christians but they seem to be confused about some of the details of their faith.
More than half of Americans (58 percent) say God is the author of the Bible. About half say the Bible alone is the written Word of God (52 percent). Two-thirds of Americans (64 percent) say the biblical accounts of the physical (bodily) resurrection of Jesus are completely accurate. A quarter (23 percent) disagree. Thirteen percent...

Lloyd-Jones on Van Til on Barth
A review by Martyn Lloyd-Jones on Cornelius Van Til's "Christianity and Barthianism"
It is difficult to over-estimate the value of this book at the present time. It shows clearly why the Barthian teaching has been so ineffective in the life of the church. It has been an intellectualist movement which has led men to preach about the Word rather than preach the Word. It has been going... Continue Reading
The Age Of Consent In A New Age
The debate once centered upon the age of consent for sex or marriage. Today, the debates are about the age of consent for gender reassignment surgery and life itself.
The advocates of autonomy establish the moral righteousness of providing gender reassignment surgery or euthanasia to a minor who requests it on the argument that the child asked for it. This is an absolute abdication of adult responsibility for the sacred trust of children. It makes you wonder if those who advocate for a child-run... Continue Reading
Why It's Time to Give Up On Your Desire for Consensus
If you want to kill vision, form a committee. The committee will beat the life out of any innovation you bring to the table.
I don't know why this is true, but it's often easier for a team of people to adapt to a bold idea and make it better than it is for a team to come up with a bold idea. This isn't always the case, but in many instances, I think it is. I dream in... Continue Reading
'Shut Up, Bigot!' The Philosophers Argued
Richard Swinburne, the Oxford philosopher and Orthodox Christian, delivered a lecture on Christian sexual ethics at a Midwest Society of Christian Philosophers conference; it offended some in attendance.
Today, when someone is accused of homophobia, the mere fact of accusation allows no effective reply. To defend oneself by saying that homosexual and heterosexual unions are not equal, even if supported by most persuasive arguments, only confirms the charge of homophobia because the charge itself is never a matter of discussion. The only way... Continue Reading
It Is Time For Cultural Apologetics – Pt. 1
Our rising generation desperately needs to be trained in cultural apologetics, the theological analysis of contemporary culture using terminology that speaks to this new, de-christianized situation.
How interesting that via these different terms of "holy" and "holism" we come back to our starting point, the fact of only two religions, Oneism or Twoism. Oneism is a form of spiritual holism where everything is included—including God. Twoism is the very essence of holiness, where things are not confused but have their special,... Continue Reading
Distinguishing Among the Three Persons of the Trinity within Reformed Tradition
I do not think the talk of "roles" is the best way to speak of the eternal distinctions between the Persons of the Trinity
Traditionally, the way in which the Persons of the Godhead have been distinguished—and they are distinct (which suggests three hypostases) not different (which would suggest another ousia)—is not by roles or by eternal relations of authority and submission, but by paternity, filiation, and spiration. To put it another way, the Father is the Father (and... Continue Reading
May A Christian College Administer Communion?
The question is whether it is proper to administer communion (the Lord's Supper or the Eucharist) outside the visible, institutional church
When private persons, who have not been authorized by Christ nor ordained by his church, take upon themselves the prerogative of administering Christ's sacraments, they are usurpers. However well-intentioned they may be, they are doing what does not belong to them. The sacraments were to be administered by the true, visible, institutional church. The great... Continue Reading
Mortification and Vivification
Without the Spirit of God, there would be neither mortification nor vivification in the life of the believer.
Both mortification and vivification are the work of the Holy Spirit in the believer's life. As Paul states, "If you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live" (Rom. 8:13; see also Rom. 8:4; Gal. 5:16-25;...

Toward a Better Reading: Reflections on the Permanent Changes to the Text of Genesis 3:16 in the ESV
We're concerned that this new rendering repeats the very mistakes that led to the formation of the ESV in the first place
As users of the ESV, we have always known that the translation of the ESV occurred in context of concerns about gendered language. We understood the concern as such: Because Bible translators can read meaning into gendered words based on current sociological agendas, we want to be constrained by the actual words of the text...

Complaining Isn't Authentic, It's a Waste of Time
We've begun to celebrate complaining as a virtue rather than a vice
Complaints spring from a heart that thinks it deserves better. But in a fallen world people sin against you, families are broken, relationships are hard, work drains you, and suffering is commonplace. Water is wet and life is hard—that's just the way it is. The sooner I recognize this, the better. Then, when I'm tempted... Continue Reading
History Taken Out Of God's Hands: Middle Knowledge
"In the theory of middle knowledge, that is precisely the case with God. God looks on, while humans decide."
Not everyone agrees with this view. Some people say that it detracts from human freedom, so they speak of God's middle knowledge. That is, although God knows all the possibilities of what might happen in the future, his decree depends on man's choices and actions. In this view, God decreed that which he foresaw would...

Dry HairIf you once had thick and lustrous hair that turned fine and limp, check how you've been treating your hair. Swimming in chlorinated water and using hair colour are some of the causes of hair shine loss. But limp, dry hair may also be a sign of hypothyroidism, or an underactive thyroid, in which your thyroid gland doesn't produce enough hormones, causing your metabolism to slow down. DandruffDandruff is a common problem that can be easily treated with an anti-dandruff shampoo. But if your dandruff is starting to turn into thick scaly patches, it could be a sign that you have psoriasis. It is a long-term skin problem that causes skin cells to grow rapidly that leads to thick, white, silvery, or red patches of skin. Hair LossThe average person loses about 100 strands a day and it is considered to be normal as the hair volume is unaffected. But if your hair starts to feel markedly thinner, it may be a sign of hypothyroidism or a sign of a hormonal imbalance relating to polycystic ovarian syndrome. Dry HairAnother sign of a more serious problem could be dry and brittle hair that breaks easily. Your hair is made up of a protein called keratin, and if you're not getting enough protein in your diet, it could weaken your hair. This could also be another sign of a thyroid issue, so be sure to check with your doctor if this is the case. < 1 2 3 4 5 > Follow @indiatimes facebook twitter reddit gplus Comment Here Dry or thin or any other hair problem -- all are connected to health.

NEW YORK (AP) - A New Yorker who bragged at a Nevada resort last week that he was a heroic survivor of the Sept. 11 attack was lying, police say.
Daniel McCarthy, 38, told a priest and then a newspaper reporter that he was a Brooklyn police officer who cheated death at the World Trade Center after racing into Tower 1 to rescue office workers.
McCarthy said he was blown out of the ninth floor and buried in rubble for more than three days while he envisioned his dead grandmother urging him to stay alive and await help.
He told the story to the priest who was marrying McCarthy and his fiancee at Harveys Resort Casino in Lake Tahoe. The Rev. Ronald Sayed was apparently so moved that he called the Tahoe Daily Tribune, which did a July 19 article.
New York Police Department spokesman Sgt. Vincent Gravelli said McCarthy's claims are fiction.
No survivors were found in the rubble after Sept. 12. The only recently active officer named Daniel McCarthy was 47 and retired before Sept. 11, Gravelli said Monday.
Police also dismissed McCarthy's claims that his supposed partner, Dominick Imperatore, who was to be his best man, died in the collapse. No one by that name is or was a New York City police officer or casualty, Gravelli said.

Portland, Oregon, Dry Paint Fizz, If That Ain't Love, What Is?
Here's how Hutch Harris counts off thrust: "One two three forward." Foregone four notwithstanding, this isn't a waltz. It's the economy, stupid. The Thermals' three Portland, Oregonians mostly play three chords at a time, no surprise, but when guitarist Harris occasionally hollers about social issues, he's not lynching landlords. He obsesses over that other kind of economy, the conservative use of chords and words and choruses. The song I've quoted, "Forward"like all 13 cuts on the Thermals' half-hour-long second discis minimalist like Wire or the Minutemen. It also reminds me of an artwork at the Guggenheim's recent show "Singular Forms (Sometimes Repeated)." Wallpiece, by Karin Sander, is a large patch of painted museum wall, polished to a shine. Watching dry paint may not sound thrilling, but the Thermals do because they buff the cultural wallpaper that is 1-2-3-4 hardcore until they see themselves in it. This would not be so interesting if the band were narrow-pantleg punks. Harris and bassist Kathy Foster are bohos, not bozos; they once played twee-pop together in Hutch and Kathy. I'm not sure they've been more of a couple than that, yet Fuckin A outsexes the nuevo new-wavers with its dry-hump hum. But I'm forgettingthis is a threesome.

After graduating from the University of Washington, Diana became a Cytogenetics Laboratory Technologist for 11 years. During the latter part of her first career, Diana helped write a Kitsaparty grant for a local theater.

Her first memory of volunteering, helping her mom as House Manager for Bremerton Community Theatre at four years old. Later in life, they awarded her as "Woman of Many Hats" recognizing her 500+ hours of time working in various positions around the theater.
She comes to PAWS of Bainbridge Island and North Kitsap, by way of Executive DIrector of CAPRI Heart and Lung Institute and Development Director for Tacoma Musical Playhouse.
In her other life, Diana still performs on various stages around the Puget Sound. She has three beautiful adult daughters, a wonderful leading man and two utterly and completely spoiled Welsh Pembroke Corgis.
"I don't remember a time in my life without the companionship of a furry baby. It is truly an honor to be a part of this wonderful asset to Kitsap County and help others in this community enjoy the love and devotion that only an animal can share. A heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you for everything you do to make PAWS of Bainbridge Island and North Kitsap the success that it is today.

This work was made in Paris and took one year to carve. The current title is an archaic form of 'John' and may refer to John the Baptist. It was once known as Alles, which in German can mean 'all people'. It has been suggested that in such works Moody fused several ethnic types to produce an image of a universal humanity. The pose recalls ancient Egyptian sculptures. However, one critic has also proposed that Johanaan falls somewhere between the work of the modern artist Jacob Epstein and the monumental figures on Easter Island.

Wonderful pet to have as part of a Howl team - worth the gold!
(My Howl team: Unborn Val'kyr, Pandaren Water Spirit, Chrominius)
Down with Stitches, Jr!!
Moonlit Shore between Elodor and Temple of Karabor: Moonshell Crabs. At the time I discovered, there were over 10 crabs all around. It was evening and raining. All crabs I found were uncommon rarity, and breed is unknown. Correction: Found a few poor quality crabs up close to the temple walls.
Believe it or not, but I found a level 1 common Ash Viper as I flew over SW towards Burning Steppes. It was found in a flat area in the mountains before you get to the more "finished" parts. I don't think I had crossed over at that point, but the snake does move.
Single run so far in MC. 1/3 pets
This pet dropped, but none of the others. I'll try later with another toon.
I found this pet in the Silk Cocoon that was created when I made windwool bolts into imperial silk along with the piece of imperial silk.

Forgot to add, had a ton of cauliflower yesterday. Ugh. My stomach is a percolating beast! It is NOT happy.
I think a shift in focus to improving your sleep would be a welcome change. Also, figuring out a way to minimize your stress from travel and your job would be helpful as well. so that while you would be taking a break from dieting you would still be keeping your focus on improving your health. Which should help keep you from falling into nuts or some other trigger.
I doubt it makes you feel any better, but I weighed 267 on my Primal start date in August 2011, and weighed 271 this morning (and was damn happy about it too after an ud!). We are all just searching for the answer.
Hang in there. I have to agree with Chris. Nail the sleep thing and everything else will seem easier (weight loss, job etc.)
WHOOP! for a week of vacation! Waking up at 2 is not fun. I am still waking up but SO FAR have been able to get back to sleep. I swear its the aromatherapy I put in my pillow. lol
I use a lavender spray on my pillow before bed and use one of those oil/reed containers that is lavender in my bedroom as well.
Lavender is one I use but alone does nothing for me. I add sandlewood, neroli and jasmine.
I will remember to ask you for the "formula" should I start to get sleep issues that are not created by a snoring husband!
Had a very lovely maintenance day. At (mostly) in my "window", which is something I like (limits my mindless eating!) (my divergence was sampling - just a few bites - of food I was making for DH while I'm gone - totally livable:)). We went to visit a few ladies from our church at the nursing home. That's a very dreary life and it's amazing how just a few minutes and a small Easter bag really makes their whole day.
I LOVE sandlewood. Not sure the AT is helping my sleep, but I'm going to keep up with it and see if next week I can turn a corner.
Making a brine to put my beef heart in while I'm gone (corned beef heart). Hopefully I don't ruin it...but no return without a little risk!
It's both reassuring and not that we are all in this same boat. For a group of smart, smart, women, can't figure out why this is so elusive. However, I remain ever optimistic that we will find our answers. My birthday is on Friday -- weight about the same as last year. Okay, next year it will be less. That's all there is to it:)
What is AT?
Your birhday coming up? That explains a lot. I often get conflicted about how far and not far i have and have not come whenever my birthday comes close.
Seriously. Focus on getting sleep and optimizing your health and minimizing your stress for this next week. I am totally willing to bet that will make your down ward trend pick up speed.
Happy birthday for Friday (If I don't say it now I'm bound to forget lol). Better to have maintained than to have put on 10lb so you should view your as a positive outcome.
Thats right, yours and Lily's birthdays are a day apart. Head up, I agree with ^^^ in a year things could have been worse.
Your right also being this being so hard. It should not be hard. I will tell you what doesn't help are those people who say, all you have to do is...xyz. Psh..I want to slap those people.
