Detective Shane Scully responds to a call in the Hollywood hills at a once-immaculate mansion, the scene of an infamous murder twenty-five years prior. He discovers the remnants of a lavish pool party. The revelers have fled, leaving three dead bodies in their wake, all shot with the same gun. One is an acclaimed film producer. The other two, a pair of gorgeous women.
With his new partner, Sumner "Hitch" Hitchens, Scully begins to investigate what looks to be an open-and-shut case: The women were hired prostitutes, and there's security video of an angry husband firing on all three. A simple case of brutal revenge. But nothing is ever as simple as it seems: There's a single spent bullet casing that doesn't match the rest.
From that single bullet emerges a story of love, murder, suicide, and one of the biggest financial frauds in L.A. history. Someone has gone to great lengths to cover up a decades-old crime, and as Scully and Hitch get closer to the answer, they find themselves in a killer's crosshairs.

Read an Excerpt
This is a story about a story.
It's also a story which, despite all my efforts to the contrary, seemed destined to become a major motion picture.
It began a few days before Christmas, but it's not a Christmas story. It's about lost generations and emotional desertion, and about a Los Angeles family with way too much money. So I guess at its heart, it's a story about greed, corruption, and loss.
With those themes, what better place to start than at an office Christmas party? But before we begin, just a few preliminary remarks.
I'm a homicide detective, and as such, I'm carefully schooled in the three concepts mentioned above. I work at an elite LAPD detective division known as Homicide Special. Our unit was reconstituted after the O.J. Simpson case, another L.A. story of greed, corruption, and loss.
After losing that high-profile media trial, it occurred to our command floor managers that maybe it wasn't such a good idea to have homicide detectives carrying blood evidence vials around a crime scene where they could later be accused of planting it.
As a result, Homicide Special was completely reorganized and staffed with our most seasoned detectives. I'm lucky to be assigned there. It's a great gig.
My name is Shane Scully, and for this story I will be your host narrator. It's going to be a fast ride through L.A. with a lot of reckless driving. Look out for abrupt lane changes, freeway shootings, and dangerous hairpin turns. As a police officer, I'm required to advise you to fasten your seat belts.
All set? Then let's go. . . . Cue the opening theme music. Fade slowly up from black, and we'll begin at:

It was sad to hear of Stephen Cannell's passing a couple of days before the book came out. This book was entertaining as the rest of the Shane Scully novels. The book was a quick, enjoyable read. He will be missed : (
LAPD Homicide Special Chief Tony Filosiana sends Detective Shane Scully to investigate an alleged shooting at a dilapidated Hollywood mansion with Detective Sumner Hitchens as his partner since his regular mate Sally Quinn is on leave for the holidays. Like most of the hardcore members of the unit, Scully detests the African-American detective, who dresses like he is the centerfold of GQ as he made a fortune selling the story of a homicide case to the movies. Scully reappraises his partner following a harrowing incident. At the mansion, the two cops find three dead people (a producer and two females who Scully assumes are hookers) shot by the same gun. The homicides ended an apparent party in which the attendees fled for the hills. They apparently solve the case, but have one problem as an extra shell casing not from the murder weapon is found. Soon the pair works a cold case murder at the same locale that occurred over two and a half decades ago. The dynamic partnering of the seemingly snob and the slob make for a refreshing Scully entry as each learns not to judge a book by its cover; both prove courageous, intelligent and full of heart. Although the teaming of apparent opposites is not new (see Hollywood Homicide with Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett), fans of the saga (see The Pallbearers) will enjoy this fine entry as Stephen J. Cannell provides his fans with an engaging police procedural. Harriet Klausner
Very interesting read with numerous twists and turns keeping interest and making it difficult to put down. Cannell was writer fot TV series and this could have made an episode!
This was the first book I've read by this author. It was on clearance and the title captured my attention, so I gave it a try. It was very good - well written and a good plot; kept my interest right to the last page. I'll be looking for other books in this series and by this author.
Great reading for those that like suspense and Cannells' style.
First time I had read a book by Canneli but throughtly enjoyed it and will read more. Plot moved quickly and keep you on your toes to see what would happen next
Thought is started out a bit slow but speeded up to a really good old Hollywood mystery. I enjoyed it.
well written by a great producer& writer. I only wish that he was still here writing more books. Since I can't have my wish; then I will search out what books he left behind. He will always remain one of my top writers and I hope to see some of his T.V.shows come back in re-runs so that today's generation will see what we lost.
Excellent book by Cannell.
This is an easy read, very entertaining. Great for a plane ride or at the besch.
I loved this book! It had its seriousness (murder always is) and its funny - Loved the characters Scully and Hitchens - what a pair! Will have to see is there are more Shane Scully books by Cannell.
Stephen J.Cannell, you should put more of your books in Nook format. This book I found very funny to read. By the way he also wrote for TV. in the 80's. He should write a new series for the paperback and nook readers ect. Look him on Barnes and Noble.

The publication of Ludwig von Mises's Theorie des Geldes und der Umlaufsmittel in 1912 marks a turning point in the history of economics, and of the Austrian School in particular. Mises integrated the theory of money within the framework of the theory of subjective value pioneered by Carl Menger. Based on this foundation he revisited all the great monetary debates of his time and of the preceding century, and weighed in these debates with original and penetrating arguments, each of which he articulated at its proper place within the edifice of an encompassing monetary treatise.

Is it possible to run a predefined xml suite from the command line through maven?
I am able to run a class or a particular test. But I am unable to run a suite.
Here is what I am running from the command line: -->
mvn -Dtest=TestCircle#mytest -Denvironment=test -Dbrowser=firefox -DscreenShotDirectory=/Users/jeremy/temp test
I do have a suite defined, which runs nicely through intelliJ, but I am not sure how to invoke the suite.xml file.
Or for example, after the tests have run, testng creates a testng-failed file which is setup to run all the failed tests again.
Using mvn, how would I kick off this test suite.

This story unleashes the spirit of giving, love, and the true meaning of Christmas. It is an inspiration in the midst of all of the holiday festivities. Look around and see whom you may be able to bless.
The world needs your generosity of spirit, your gifts, your love, your uniqueness and your authentic heart. You are not here to hold onto anything but rather to give it away. You are here to shine your light on the world exactly as you are.
Ultimately, it's not my pain, it's our pain that I feel every day, and the more I love myself, God and others, the more all our pain will be healed. And the more that I live in the energy of love that you, God and I generate, the more able I am to deal with the pain I face.
What if we paid deeper attention to those we live with? To the earth that is our home? To our own heart? Not only would we cease to cause harm, our attention would offer the medicine that could bring healing to our world.
The mind responds. The gut reacts. The heart follows. Learn the subtle differences by staying true to the self. Stay diligently committed to ensuring your own happiness in order to fully serve the ones you love.
Be the love you seek in the world, beginning with the one in the mirror. A random good samaritan act reminds us we are worth it.
We all put up a good front, we want people to think we are normal, but what lies lurking beneath the surface is another story, and it may not be as pretty as we want the world to think it is.
I am self-focused enough to know that there are things I have to do for myself, not because I am self-centered, egotistical or a narcissist, but because it's my job to keep my own cup full.

February 2014
The best way to see southern Spain. We never thought a bus tour could be so fun and informative and we will do it all over again without any hesitation. All the tour guides in each town were very knowledgeable about the beautiful buildings we visited. The optional tours should not be missed. Seville, Granada and Toledo were definitely our super bonuses for this tour. Love it, love it, love it.

December 2012
You get more than what you pay for !! Wow
December 2014
This tour was amazing!
October 2014
Good collections and transport from airports and train stations. No rep. at hotel and train station for detailed instruction.
September 2014
Awesome trip. Great way to see Spain for the first time. We added a few days before and after in Barcelona and Madrid at our own expense so we can explore on our own. Met wonderful people in our group. Our tour guide Hugo and our Driver Antonio were very respectful and knowledgable.
September 2013
It's good to have almost everything planned and transport arranged to the destinations. However, Madrid is all about sightseeing on the bus.
September 2013
The arranged airport transfer on the last day did not arrive but the rest of the holiday was great!
August 2013
Great tour to see many cities in one week. The first part was not guided, and somewhat haphazard. In fact, no one showed up to pick us up at the Madrid train station. We did enjoy the Barcelona bike tour though (booked separately). When we joined the guided tour in Madrid, it was well organized and quite busy, to see all those cities. Good overview though, and our guides were all great. We did the 3 star hotels instead of the 4, choosing to spend the extra money on the optional tours/ excursions. If we had to do it again, we would probably upgrade, as the 4 star hotels were in better locations for exploring on your own, outside the tours. The accommodations were just fine. Very different food for American palates though!
July 2013
The 4-day Andalucia tour was good. The local tour guides were great. The hotels, except for the one in Granada (Los Angeles Hotel) were not as good as we expected. By the way, the worst hotel was the one in Barcelona.
July 2013
The Madrid to Toledo leg of the tour was excellent. We encountered issues with the Barcelona leg as no instructions were given as to how the day tour was to be conducted. Instead of being picked up at the hotel, we found out that we had to go to the offices of Julia Travel directly to start the day tour. No instructions were left at the hotel nor were emailed by Julia Travel or by Viator (Julia maintains that it is Viator's duty - at that point the traveller is left between 2 conflicting parties). Needless to say, we missed the day tour and had to fend for ourselves. It appeared that the Barcelona leg is conducted by Julia Travel (Viator is only the middleman/broker) as a separate item from its Madrid to Toledo leg. The latter leg was more organized.

Monster Inspiration lets you match your headphones to the beatPocket-lint
Monster has announced a new set of premium headphones, the Monster Inspiration, and we've already managed to get hands and ears on with them.
The name, Inspiration, comes from a design quirk that will let you change the appearance of your 'phones, thanks to a magnetic headband cover.
You simply peel off the magnetic cover and you can replace it with whatever you fancy. There are a range of designs on offer, with different colours, materials and motifs.
But far from being cheap and tacky, the headbands have a premium feel to them, and the magnets keep everything very securely in place.
These are over-the-ear headphones, offering both active and passive noise cancellation, which in our quick ears-on test, really seemed to work.
Although we haven't worn them for extended periods, our first impression is that the Monster Inspiration are really comfortable, finished in soft leather.
You get all the cables in the box, so whether you're an Apple or Android user, you'll get controls and a mic. A straight cable is provided for regular music players too.
The headphones fold up, with a neat case, making them a great choice for travellers.
We sampled the Monster Inspiration at a John Lewis showcase, so keep your eyes peeled for them in store soon.

Games and Movies
Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'WWE Games' started by Mr.Realistic, Nov 22, 2011.
How do I do all of this?
Attributes and Heel/Face are done in WWE Universe "Edit Superstar" area. However you can only edit attributes if you have bought Fan Axxess or the Attribute editor seperately. (I think it's like 1 dollar or 90MSP)
Not sure on custom themes atm.
It's not on PSN. The only one there is a 10 dollar pack which unlocks everything, which sucks.
It would be on the WWE Shop part of the game itself.
Oh, thanks man.
After you purchase Fan Axxess, go into the game and go to the WWE Shop at the main menu. From there, you can purchase everything seperately. You don't have to purchase the Unlock Everything. I didn't. Just the superstars (Ross, Cole, King, Michaels, etc.), attires, and the attribute editor
Same here. I did that last year and i didn't feel the need to play RTWM at all. I'll give it a whirl this year.

There are a lot of ways to negotiate a new home purchase. Getting the financing right is one of the most critical pieces. There are several ways to deal with an existing lease, each has a potential different impact on your personal finances and the price and terms of your new home purchase. You should be aware that everyone you meet at the new home development works for them builder. While they will be friendly and nice, they do not work for you! But when you come in with a New Home Buyers Agent Advocate you will have someone working exclusively for you, always in your best interest. from the first contact through negotiations and construction to the final settlement and closing. Every decision. All the time. If you have a full time agent with a Masters degree in Planning with Finance and over two decades of experience, working for you, you will likely do better in negotiations. I'd be glad to discuss your options with you. If you appreciate this answer, please give it a thumbs up, or if this was the most helpful answer, please say thanks with a best answer click.
that is a question for the lender doing the loan on the house. It will depend on the type of loan you are receiving and whehter the builder wants to do it or not. In years past I have heard it customary for builders to offer incentives of paying off existing leases on apartments up to X amount of months and dollars when you bought a home.
However; with all the new regualtions in place for the lenders today after the mortgage meltdown I am not sure that they can do it anymore. It seems that you would be violating some of the new mortgage guidelines (depending ont he loan you are getting).
A couple of options is give you apartment notice as much notice as possible and see if they can procure a tenant for it ebfore you have to move out...Then you might be able to get out of the lease (break it) and not have to pay any fees or the remainder of the lease. I have ahd a couple fo clients recently go that way and it cost them a couple weeks of rent so theat the complex could get the place ready and while it was vacant..

Bruce Schneier wants your TSA logos. Free door prizes
With the crotch bomber awaiting his fate, local Somalis likely to be caught in a nightmare of extra airport hassles and the president in a knot over what appears to be a petty robust communication breakdown at the CIA regarding how said bomber was ever allowed to board a U.S.-bound passenger jet, Minnesota's very own fly in the ointment of airline security platitudes is ready to lampoon the Transportation Safety Administration. Again.
Playing off an idea posted at Salon.com, Bruce Schneier is proposing a design competition for a new TSA logo. Attention designers: he wants serious, acerbic wit.
I'm announcing the TSA Logo Contest. Rules are simple: create a TSA logo. People are welcome to give ideas in the comments, but only actual created logos are eligible to compete. (When my website administrator wakes up, I'll ask him how we can post images in the comments.) Contest ends on February 6th. Winner receives copies of my books, copies of Patrick Smith's book, an empty 12-ounce bottle labeled "saline" that you can refill and get through any TSA security checkpoint, and a fake boarding pass on any flight for any date.
Maybe there's some way to work a misinformed explosives-sniffing dog into the artwork.
Here's Schneier on air travel safety today:
Air travel survived decades of terrorism, including attacks which resulted in the deaths of everyone on the plane. It survived 9/11. It'll survive the next successful attack. The only real worry is that we'll scare ourselves into making air travel so onerous that we won't fly anymore. We won't be any safer -- more people will die in car crashes resulting from the increase in automobile travel, and terrorists will simply switch to one of the millions of other targets -- and we won't even feel any safer. It's frustrating; terrorism is rare and largely ineffectual, yet we regularly magnify the effects of both their successes and failures by terrorizing ourselves.

ABSTRACT Objectives: (1) Determine the prevalence of overweight and high blood pressure (BP) among middle and high school students over a 2-year period and, (2) measure the cost and initial outcomes of screening.
Design: Cost and outcome description using a cross-sectional design sample. The target population was 12- to 19-year-old healthy students attending grades 7 through 12 at 3 proximal schools located in a large urban school district in Texas.
Results: Of 2,338 students screened, 925 (39.6%) had a body mass index (BMI)≥85th percentile and 504 (21.6%) had BMIs≥95th percentile for age and gender. There were 346 students (14.8%) with BMIs≥85th percentile and systolic blood pressure (SBP)≥95th percentile for age, gender, and height. The cost of the 2-year screening program was $66,442, and the cost per student was $28. The cost to identify a student with increased BMI or high SBP was $72 and $107, respectively.
Conclusions: This study offered an objective framework to examine the cost and outcomes of screening children for overweight and increased BP. The study has implications for discussion and informed decision making about school-based screening for these conditions.

There are many important applications in the electronics art wherein it is highly desirable, or necessary, controlledly to connect one or more multiple contact source ports to one or more signal utilization ports in any desired combination. In some cases it may be desirable to control the connection of a single source port to any of a plurality of signal utilization ports or to connect any of a plurality of source ports to one signal utilization port, but in general there may be a plurality of both source ports and signal utilization ports to be controlledly interconnected.
The problem with providing such controlled switching becomes increasingly more difficult as the number of source ports and/or signal utilization ports is increased, and the problem becomes particularly severe when the number of signals in each port is large. For example, the standard RS-232 port provides 24 signals (plus ground), one of which typically carries a serial data signal and the others of which typically carry auxiliary information, for example timing and control signals for effecting the desired communication of the serial data signal. While in some cases all 24 of the signals need not be utilized, even when less than all of the signals are used the complications of the switching operation can become unduly burdensome. Where the switching system is to be of most general utility the problem is most severe, in that it should be able to provide controlled switching of all 24 of the port signals since, in a given situation, any one of the signals or all of them may be utilized. If, as is not unusual, there are 128 source ports and 128 utilization or destination ports, it would be necessary to provide a matrix having 393,216 crosspoint switching elements to effect the desired switching by conventional means.
Accordingly, other methods of accomplishing such switching have been proposed and employed, including the time-division multiplexed-bus switch in which the source and the destination ports are all connected to a common bus containing a line for each corresponding contact of the ports, so that by turning on any selected source port and any selected destination port at the same instant, the desired communication can be accomplished momentarily for any selected pair of such devices. Since communication is desired between all source devices and destination devices, each of the destination devices is switched on momentarily and repetitively when each of the source device is switched on, in time-multiplex fashion. In order for this to be effective, especially with signals embodying high data rates, the switching must be accomplished at extremely high rates. For example, if a 9600 baud signal is to be transferred with no more than 12.5% distortion, then it must be sampled at least 76,800 times per second. If 256 such sets of signals are to be switched over the same bus, then the aggregate sampling rate of the bus must be at least 19,660,800 samples per second. More signals, higher speeds, and lower distortion all require even higher sampling rates on the high speed bus so that the overall performance of this type of switching is limited by the bandwidth that is available on the high speed bus.
The present invention provides a signal switching system which is not subject to the bandwidth limitations of the above-described time-multiplexed common bus system, and which does not require the large number of switching elements required by the standard matrix switching also described above.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and useful signal switching system.
Another object is to provide such system which does not require the large number of switching elements or the high bandwidth required of previous systems for accomplishing comparable switching.
These and other objects of the invention are achieved by the provision of a signal switching system for controlled connection of any source port to any signal utilization port by converting the source signals from each source port into a single serial time-multiplexed signal prior to its application to the switching system, applying each serial time-multiplexed signal to the switching system. and then demultiplexing each signal to convert it back to its original parallel form after it leaves the switching device. This greatly decreases the number of switching devices required in the switching system; for example, where the number N of separate signals at each source port is the same as the number N of signals at each signal utilization port, the number of switching elements required is decreased by a factor N, for example by a factor of 24 if there are 24 signals or contacts in each port and the signals are unidirectional. If the signals are bidirectional (i.e. travel in both directions between the connected ports), then the number of switching elements is decreased by N/2, in this example by 12. At the same time, the system is not subject to the bandwidth restrictions of the multiplexed-bus type of switching arrangement described previously.
The multiplexing and demultiplexing required is preferably provided by means of the plug-contained multiplexers and demultiplexers described in detail in my co-pending application Ser. No. 803,894 filed Dec. 2, 1985, wherein each multiplexer or demultiplexer is contained in the casing of a plug which also mounts the contacts designed to mate with the source port or the destination port, so that the desired multiplexing and demultiplexing is accomplished by merely plugging the line into the appropriate source or destination port. An extremely effective form of this system which results from the combination of the plug-contained multiplexer-demultiplexer lines with the simple form of matrix switch described generally above is described in more detail hereinafter.
These and other objects and features of the invention will be more readily understood from a consideration of the following detailed description, taken with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an elementary form of matrix switching system according to the prior art;
FIG. 1A is a schematic diagram showing a system according to the invention for performing the same overall function as the prior art system of FIG. 1;
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of another form of prior art switching system;
FIG. 2A is a schematic diagram of a switching system according to the invention, for performing the functions of the system of FIG. 2;
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of another switiching system according to the prior art;
FIG. 3A is a schematic diagram according to the invention for performing the functions of the system of FIG. 3;
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of another switching system according to the prior art;
FIG. 4A is a schematic diagram of a system according to the invention for performing the function of the system of FIG. 4;
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a switching system according to the invention as applied to the switching of connections between a plurality of computer front ends and a plurality of modems; and
FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating a preferred circuit arrangement for controlling each of the switching devices in the matrix system of the invention.
Referring now to the conventional switching system shown in FIG. 1, a source port S1 presenting five separate signals S1A, S1B, S1C, S1D and S1E on five corresponding output lines 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18, one for each of the separate output signals; a signal utilization port U1 is provided with five corresponding input lines 20, 22, 24, 26 and 28. Assume that it is desired to be able to connect the output lines of S1 to, or disconnect them from, the input lines to U1. To this end, the two sets of lines 10-18 and 20-28 each may be connected to a maxtrix switching system 26, which includes five controllable switching devices 30, 32, 34, 36 and 38, each disposed between one of the lines from the source S1 and a particular corresponding one of the lines connected to the utilization device U1. It is noted that even in this simple, rudimentary switching operation, five switching devices are required. Such arrangements are common in the prior art.
FIG. 1A shows a system employing the same signal source S1 and the same signal utilization device U1. In accordance with the present invention, the five signals from S1 are supplied to a first multiplexer M1, which samples them sequentially to form on its output line 40 a serial time-multiplexed version of the separate input signals thereto. Output line 40 is connected to the switching system 42, as is the single line 44 leading to a demultiplexer DM1, the output of which feeds the utilization device U1. Switching system 42 consists of a single controllable switch device 48, controllable to connect or isolate lines 40 and 44 with respect to each other.
In operation then, if it is desired to supply the five signals at S1 to U1, the switching device 48 is closed, the serial-time multiplexed signals on line 40 are thereby supplied to the input line 44 to demultiplexer DM1, and the Iatter device supplies to U1 the five reconstructed signals corresponding to those from source S1. The overall objective of controlling whether or not the signals from S1 are supplied to U1 is accomplished with a switching system requiring only a single switching device, rather than the five required in the prior art system, for a reduction of 5:1 in switching devices.
FIG. 2 illustrates the corresponding case in which five signals on five output lines of S1 may be switched to utilization port U1 or to utilization port U2, as desired. The switching system shown for accomplishing this is a simple conventional matrix switching system, as provided by the prior art, in which each of the five output lines from S1 is connectable to either a corresponding line leading to U1 or to a corresponding line leading to U2, by actuating the appropriate ones of the switching devices to their closed or open conditions in appropriate well-known manner.
FIG. 2a shows an arrangement according to the present invention corresponding to the basic type of system shown in FIG. 2. Here the same source S1 supplies its five output signals to a parallel-to series multiplexer M1 and the output of the multiplexer is fed to switching system 50 over line 51. The utilization devices U1 and U2 are connected separately to the switching system 50 by way of respective series to parallel demultiplexers DM1 and DM2 and lines 53 and 54. Only two switching devices 55 and 56 are required in the switching system to provide the desired switch control action, compared with the ten required in the prior art arrangement of FIG. 2, for a 5:1 reduction in the number of switching devices.
FIGS. 3 and 3A illustrate, respectively, a system according to the prior art and a system according to the present invention by means of which either the source port S1 presenting five signals or the source port S2 presenting five different signals may be connected to the single signal utilization device U1. Again, the conventional arrangement of FIG. 3 utilizes a simple switching matrix system using ten switching devices such as 57.
The system of FIG. 3A utilizes two different parallel to serial multiplexers M1 and M2 connected to the respective sources S1 and S2, and a single serial to parallel demultiplexer DM1 supplying the signal utilization device U1. The switching system comprises a simple matrix utilizing only two switching devices 68 and 70, which connect either the output of M1 or of M2 to the input of DM1. The 5:1 saving in switching complexity will be apparent here also.
FIGS. 4 and 4A illustrate systems according to the prior art and according to the invention, respectively, which approach a little more closely those which are of more commercial interest. In this case, there are a plurality of source ports (S1, S2) and of utilization devices (U1, U2). In the prior art arrangement of FIG. 4, the switching sYstem is again a simple matrix utilizing twenty switching devices such as 58, while in the arrangement of FIG. 4A according to the invention, the arrangement utilizes two parallel to serial multiplexers M1 and M2 and two serial to parallel demultiplexers DM1 and DM2 ; the switching system itself is a simple matrix utilizing only four switching devices such as 59, which enable either the output of M1 or the output of M2 to be supplied to the input of either DM1 or DM2. The reduction in number of switching devices is again 5 to 1.
It will be understood that the specific arrangement illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 4A is still of far less complexity than is often or generally involved in a commercial situation. As mentioned above, a commercial system using 128 RS-232 source ports and 128 RS-232 utilization ports, each having 24 lines or contacts, would conventionally require 393,216 cross-point switching elements, while using the present invention only 12,288 or 24 times less are required.
FIG. 5 shows in more detail a type of commercial system in which the invention has more practical application. FIG. 5 shows computer front end A and front end computer B, and it is assumed that there are a large number of similar computer front ends to be accommodated. Each computer front end is provided with two ports, which may be of the RS-232 type. Also shown are modems A, B, C and D each connected to respective telephone lines (not shown) for external communication. The system shown permits any one of the four modems (or any of a large number of additional modems, not shown for convenience) to be connected to any one of the front-end ports of computers A or B, or to any other computer front ends which may be employed.
The system of FIG. 5 as shown permits communication in either direction between modem and computer front end, that is, a signal maY travel from modem to computer or from computer to modem through a suitable channel for each direction of transmission. To permit this the system uses at each modem port and at each front-end port a cable multiplexer C/M such as is described in my copending application Ser. No. 803,894 filed Dec. 2, 1985, which provides such duplex action within a plug adapted to be plugged into an RS-232 port.
The switching system then provides the desired controlled two-way connection between each computer front-end port and the port of any selected one of the modes. It comprises in this example the standard switching boards (SSB's) 82, 84, 86 and 88 which provide conversion in either direction between the balanced-pair lines preferably used in the two-wire cables connecting the switching system to the modems and cable multiplexers, and the single-wire and ground system used within the switching system. The SSB's may also provide some of the switching action. The standard matrix boards (SMB's) 90, 91, 92 and 93 are interconnected in any suitable conventional manner to provide the remaining necessary switching action. Preferable one switch is used for communication in one direction and another for communication in the other direction.
The switch elements are preferably on chips, and controlled by the chassis controller boards (CCB's) 94 and 95, which in turn may be controlled by a system controller 98, which may be based on an IBM PC-XT.
FIG. 6 shows the basic arrangement of a typical switching chip in the matrix, assuming a grid of 16 input lines Y1 to Y16 and 16 output lines X1 to X16. Each input line is provided with an input receiver such as 100, 102 and each output line is provided with an output driver such as 106, 108. The switching device is in each case a transmission gate such as 110, controlled by a flip-flop such as 162, from the external controller. Only one such arrangement is shown, but it will be understood that one such arrangement of flip-flop and transmission gate is used for each cross-point switching device.
While the invention has been described with particular reference to specific embodiments in the interest of complete definiteness, it will be understood that it may be embodied in a variety of forms diverse from those specifically shown and described.

Laconia parking garage repair work underway; level 2 expected to reopen in time for Pumpkin Festival
LACONIA — City Manager Scott Myers said yesterday that access to the middle deck of the downtown parking garage is expected to be restored by the end of next week, in time for the space to be used during the Pumpkin Festival the next day.
Bob Ayers of R.M. Piper, Inc. of Plymouth, who is supervising the work, said that where the exposed steel has been weakened by corrosion, at the foot of vertical beams supporting the ramps and along the runners of the ramps themselves, supports are being strengthened by welding fresh steel over the corroded sections. In addition, he said that some of the galvanized steel pans, into which the concrete was poured to form the ramps, are also corroded and will be reinforced with four-by-four pressure-treated lumber as a temporary measure.
City Manager Scott Myers said yesterday that he has yet to receive an estimate of what the work to reopen the garage will cost. He indicated that the upper deck will likely remain closed through the winter and repairs on the remaining ramps undertaken next spring. Bob Durfee, an engineer with Dubois & King, Inc., is assessing the condition of the entire garage, but has yet to complete his report.
City officials closed the garage on September 28 when an inspection found that the steel supporting the ramps had been compromised corrosion. A week earlier Durfee began assessing the condition of the garage at the request of Paul Moynihan, director of Public Works. Durfee said that he expected to find some damage that would require repair, but did not anticipate the extensive corrosion he found. The most severe damage, he explained, is to the ramps, where the concentration of road salt is greatest.
The garage was built in 1973 and opened in 1974. Durfee said that the garage with its exposed steel supporting ramps and decks is the only one of its kind he has encountered in the northeast, where reinforced concrete is preferred for its capacity to withstand constant exposure to road salt during the winter. Since then it underwent a major upgrade in 1996, which included repainting the steelwork. In 2005, repairs were made to the decks and the middle deck was overlaid and sealed and leakage into the commercial spaces beneath the garage was addressed in 2008.
As part of condominium-like arrangement, the city owns approximately two-thirds of the parking spaces on the second and third levels of the garage, as well as the access ramps.

Epoxy questions
I am attempting to make an order of micro balloons and cabosil along with some decent epoxy for joining and laminating. Specifically I need products to join the webs and ribs for the spar of a Bubble Dancer and then I need a laminating epoxy for the spar caps and securing the kevlar tow.
Ideally I could buy 1 product but not sure if that is advisable.
Can I use just one epoxy for both tasks without too much compromise?
if I just use regular epoxy to laminate the spar parts and kevlar glass cloth etc. is that going to be inferior to using a specialized product?
A build log I was reading said to use cabosil to thicken the epoxy while joining the ribs to the sheer webs. Why would you not just use epoxy on it's own?
I just have great plans 20 min epoxy at the moment
Here are the products I am considering.

I use West Systems a lot, and have become a big fan. It is excellent for laminating. Buy the smallest portions you can of the #205 hardener, and be sure to get the electronic scale for measuring the proportions. Apply sparingly.
CST should also be able to supply the cabosil.
The short-term epoxies (like the Great Planes products) have their uses, but not in the application you are looking at. They tend to be brittle.

West Systems and stuff
I use West Systems #105 resin for laminating and have used it for bonding as well, great stuff. Their information sheets and the resin can states the various uses. Unlike Greg, I use the #206 hardner which gives about a 20-25 minute pot life, helps sometimes when aligning assemblies or laying up parts.
A tub of their #406 Collodial Silica should last you for years to thicken the epoxy for bonding purposes. In small batches it doesn't take much. It's not as good as their #405 filler for strength though, but "very good" in most uses.
If you're mixing small batches of West Systems, or any fluid epoxy, get some 1 oz. medicine cups. Just Goggle "medicine cup" online, 100 for almost nothing and work great. Can even be reused if you let the excess cure and pop it out.
To measure West Systems in small batches I use hypodermic syringes. I find them at my local farm supply and use the largest gage needle with the point blunted. Makes it easy to hit the 1-5 ratio of hardener to resin and they are cheap.

I agree with the West Systems resin and colloidal silica route. There used to be a resin called PJ's that was better than anything else on the market for making glider wing skins but they aren't around anymore. I wonder what the high end manufacturers in Europe use on their models.
You guy's should check out Resin Research epoxy it's competively priced and it's as close as one can get to MGS resin with out having to pay the fine on each can of it's catalyst. It's used on the Icon series of glider's and it was Don Peter's that turned me on to it. Just so you guy's know I've been working with advanced composite's since 1971 and I try to use the best material's.
West Systems is an ok epoxy, but frankly MGS is much better. West has pretty good properties, but it was designed to seal wood in boat building applicatons. MGS was designed for the manufacture of aircraft and is on the list of acceptable materials for many homebuilt and commercial aircraft. You have to ask yourself how much you will use and whether the strength/stiffness of the epoxy is going to make a difference to the performance of your airplane or parts.
Most places I see use MGS with fillers like chopped fibers and a bit of cabosil when making major structural joints. I am talking places like Schempp-Hirth, Glasser Dirks, etc. Since they use MGS in the layup of the skins and spars, there is good compatibility using the thickened MGS as an adhesive.
If you really need the shear strength of a true adhesive, you can look into the specialized bonding agents made by Hysol (Locktite). They have much higher shear strength and are highly resistant to peel. But they are also the consistency of peanut butter and are specifically designed to bond two pieces together in a post-cure setup. You would never use this stuff to wet out fabric.
At the end of the day, ask yourself how much strength/stiffness do you REALLY need. Is it worth paying extra? Most of the time the answer is no.

That is the reason I have been using West Systems for years. Still have the original quart of resin and the original 7 oz. can of hardner I bought maybe 6 or 7 years ago. Their claim of an extremely long shelf life for my use appears to be confirmed. Store it in my work room which is temperature controlled.
Use it mostly for repairs and small glassing jobs, wtih some bonding. Just finished glassing the center section of my new HLG with it. Since I'm not laying up big structures or glassing big wings and trusting my life to them, I couldn't justify buying the "bulk" quantities the other brands were packaged in. Plus, there is a West Marine store only 3 miles from my house.

I think I am in the small batch boat. Honestly the minimum order from West seems like way more than I need which is what prompted my question initially. That said I was not aware of an extended shelf life. My epoxy will typically last 6 months to a year so that makes it a little more practical to buy in these quantities.
Also, I am going to have to check into if there is a West distributer near me.
Check out http://www.uscomposites.com/epoxy.html
Their 635 Thin with the med or fast hardener works great for general use.
Disclaimer! Yes I use MGS for bagging DLG wings and making fuses. But this is my go to epoxy for everything else. You can also get your cabosil and microballons there. West is fine, I've used it, but mixing ratios are easier, and the viscosity is lower with the USC stuff.
By the way, forget the pumps unless you are building a boat. Get an ebay scale and weigh your mixes. I have one scale (that's right, you might need more than one) that reads in .01grams. For a repair I can mix 2 grams of epoxy accurately.

If you're just laminating some spar caps and shear webs you won't need much epoxy. You might look at www.systemthree.com - they sell trial kits of most of their products. For the tiny amount you'll need I think that would be cost effective. They have various pre-mixed fillers and hardeners for filleting and bonding so you don't necessarily have to add colloidal silica
I've used West System too and it's ok, but he downsides are cost and the 5:1 mix ratio which is less forgiving of measuring errors, compared to 2:1 for most other brands.
Adam from Wyoming wind work's did some very depth resin testing and in the final analysis R-2 came in 2nd behind MGS. Don Peter's of Maple Leaf Design said that other resins never seem to totally cure and I think he was involved in yacht building before he got into model glider's. Last I heard he was still using R-2. Please know that I'm just putting info out here and not telling anyone what resin to use. I started using R-2 shortly after a fine was leevied on the catylist of MGS and I'm fortunate to have a store to go to right here in Tucson. R-2 is headquartered here in Tucson as well.

I'm trying to put a simple flash slideshow on a mostly html page (constructed via php). The swf plays fine locally, plays fine if I load it directly in a browser, but not on a web page.
Would someone mind having a look at my code and see if perhaps I am missing something.
I very rarely use flash at all. So, it's very possible I am overlooking something that's quite trivial to a flash pro.
Here's a mock webpage:
The flash should be over the shiny green buttons on the right.
Here's a direct link to the swf:
I'm using Dreamweaver which automatically places the call to the 'AC_RunActiveContent.js' file. Which I'm assuming does some browser sniffing or something. Haven't analyzed that code.
Any ideas?
