We met up with Casey & Dustin in Bragg Creek to do their engagement photos. We started off at a small lake in Bragg Creek Provincial Park and finished the session at Elbow Falls. It turned about to be a beautiful day! The Bragg Creek area and Elbow Falls are great locations for an engagement photo session. We are really looking forward to photographing Cassandra & Dustin's wedding next summer at the Cochrane RancheHouse.

OCL Tools is a recently added component to the Model Development Tools (MDT) Project aiming at providing first-class support to modelers working with specifications containing expressions written in OCL, the Object Constraint Language. Such support includes editing, refactoring, code generation, execution, and interactive debugging of the OCL constraints given for some underlying (Ecore or UML2) class model. The functionality of OCL Tools builds upon the MDT OCL component, and has been seeded with two initial contributions:
- an OCL -> Java compiler, that as of now takes as input an .ecore and a textual file containing OCL constraints (handling UML2 is in the ToDo list). This compiler extends EMF code generation, producing Java 5 source code with side-effects-free methods for the given OCL invariants, pre- and postconditions, and derived attributes and operations.
- an OCL text editor, supporting usability features such as AutoCompletion, navigation by means of hyperlinks, structured views (for the outline of a document and for the Abstract Syntax Tree of an OCL constraint), among others. Although MDT OCL itself is completely fluent in both Ecore and UML2, only the Ecore binding is supported by the OCL text editor at this time.
A longer intro to OCL Tools can be found in the draft article being reviewed for publication at: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=204701

OCL Compiler
What it does
In a nutshell, the compiler translates expressions like that in Listing 1 into what is shown in Listing 2:
context LoyaltyAccount inv invariant_points : self . points > 0 implies self.transactions->exists ( t | t.points > 0 ) |
public boolean invariant_points () { Boolean implies1 = ( this . getPoints () > 0); if (!( implies1 )) { implies1 = Boolean . TRUE ; } else { Boolean exists2 = false ; for ( RandL . Transaction t : org.eclipse.ocl.util.CollectionUtil.asSet ( this . getTransactions ())) { if (!exists2 ) { exists2 = (t.getPoints () > 0); } } implies1 = exists2 ; } return implies1 ; } |
How to use it
Step 1: Prepare an .ocl
Step 2: Invoke the compiler

A biobased composite composed of poly(β-hydroxybutyrate)-co-(β-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) matrix and natural reinforcing fibers has a potential closed-loop life cycle as their constituents can potentially produce their own feedstock carbon upon anaerobic degradation to produce more polymer. These closed loop materials have the potential to replace conventional polymer because their mechanical properties are comparable to engineered woods and several types of glass fiber reinforced polymers However their long-term, in-service performance is largely unknown. As a semicrystalline polymer, PHBV is susceptible both to viscoelastic deformation under sustained loading aging effects. In this research, the viscoelastic behavior of PHBV/natural fiber composites is being analyzed through a series of creep and creep-recovery experiments. Isochronous deformation of the PHBV composites is compared to that of similar materials. In addition, the effect of polymer aging on the tensile properties of PHBV/natural fiber composites is under investigation. Both experimental and modeling results will be presented.

Some families have lost home in the Colorado wildfires, and others are waiting for the news of their homes' fate
As a fierce, wind-fed wildfire that has already killed two people continued to barrel through the area of Black Forest, Colo., evacuees tried to cope with the tragedy.
The home that Deanna Ronco of Black Forest and her family lived in for 18 years is one of 360 that have been consumed by the flames.
On Tuesday afternoon, Ronco started to pack up belongings of her five children when she got a call from emergency responders that the family needed to leave right away. She didn't bother packing anything sentimental because she thought they would be back. She remembers the odd sight of smoke blowing in front of the sun and the sky turning a red hue.
The family stayed with friends two nights before hearing from a friend who is a volunteer firefighter that her home was gone.
"It's kind of been a roller coaster since then, trying to get my kids taken care of so we can take care of logistics," said Ronco, 40. "The sad part is it's not even over, and we're not even the only ones that have been affected."
That night, she and her husband left their children with friends and got a hotel room for the night so they could grieve for their home. "It's a very surreal feeling," she said.
FATALITIES: Bodies of two found in fire's wake
Anne O'Neill, a resident of Black Forest, did not lose her home but said that she and her family were contending with the rootless feeling of not being able to stay in familiar surroundings.
The family has several dogs, so a motel was not an option. For a time after evacuating, they just hung out in the parking lot of a Safeway grocery store trying to decide what to do. Ultimately, the family wound up at a friend's house and put the dogs in a kennel that was boarding evacuees' pets for free.
"The upheaval in your life just makes you tired," O'Neill said in an interview via Facebook Messenger. "I feel incredibly lucky that my house is still standing. I am sad that I am separated from my dogs. I am stressed out that I am having to depend on other people to take care of them and that I am imposing on a friend to house me."
As residents dealt with loss and displacement, volunteers and agencies stepped up to help them.
Keller Homes in Colorado Springs is accepting donations and plans to deliver them to a nearby drop-off on Monday, CFO Dave Mersman said.
Mersman said Colorado Springs has dealt with a lot between the fires in Waldo Canyon in June 2012 and, now, Black Forest, but the community pulls together to recover.
"Colorado Springs is a very, very tight-knit community, and we support each other," he said. "I happened to live in the area that was evacuated last year and was affected, and boy the outreach by the community, my neighbors and friends was just overwhelming."
Overnight, at least 818 people took shelter from the Black Forest Royal George fires in the three places the Pikes Peak Red Cross set up Wednesday night, spokeswoman Patricia Billinger said.
Billinger said some residents realized too late that they were susceptible to the wildfire and should have prepared.
"We never think it's going to happen to us," she said. "One woman I spoke to said, 'I should know better. We had Waldo Canyon last year. I should've known to get prepared.' But when they came knocking on her door to evacuate, she really just managed to get her dog and her ID, and she didn't even grab her purse. We never think it's going to happen to us."

The server (a small VPS) is set up according to this how-to: http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/wordpress-cheap-vps-lowendscript/ The problems started after the last update: apticron report [Fri, 27 Jul 2012 00:41:08 -0300] ======================================================================== apticron has detected that some packages need upgrading on: The following packages are currently pending an upgrade: mysql-client-5.5 5.5.25a-1~dotdeb.1 mysql-client-core-5.5 5.5.25a-1~dotdeb.1 mysql-common 5.5.25a-1~dotdeb.1 mysql-server 5.5.25a-1~dotdeb.1 mysql-server-5.5 5.5.25a-1~dotdeb.1 mysql-server-core-5.5 5.5.25a-1~dotdeb.1 php5-cgi 5.3.15-1~dotdeb.0 php5-cli 5.3.15-1~dotdeb.0 php5-common 5.3.15-1~dotdeb.0 php5-curl 5.3.15-1~dotdeb.0 php5-gd 5.3.15-1~dotdeb.0 php5-mcrypt 5.3.15-1~dotdeb.0 php5-mysql 5.3.15-1~dotdeb.0 php5-suhosin 5.3.15-1~dotdeb.0 When I did these updates, I always chose to keep my configs and not to replace them with the distro ones. I am facing the problem that php-cgi seems to "freeze" to death, it doesn't seem to serve anything, it works for a few hours, then it freezes and only starts working again after I killall -9 php-cgi and then starting it again as restarting it doesn't work either. All I get are these errors in nginx error log: 2012/07/29 09:26:21 [error] 18038#0: *1909 upstream timed out (110: Connection timed out) while reading response header from upstream, client: 220.127.116.11, server: knightsenglish.com, request: "GET / HTTP/1.0", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000", host: "www.knightsenglish.com", referrer: "http://www.knightsenglish.com/" Any ideas what could be wrong here? Any starting points to investigate? All this happened this weekend where there was almost zero traffic, I checked with netstat and there were maybe 10 connections active only :-( As a first try, after googling this issue I added this value to my nginx configs: proxy_read_timeout 120; but that didn't change much.
Thanks Falko, I figured out the problem and will implement your suggestion after I fix the original problem. After tinkering with the VPS I realized the problem went a lot deeper than that. This thread is basically closed as the problem is a totally different one, but if you ca nadd something to it it would be much appreciated. I ran 2 sites for a friend on my server, one grew to big so I moved him to his own VPS that I also manage. The second one grew stale so I eventually de-activated it. I now moved the stale one to his own server since we was going to update it and get it up and running again. I see 2 possible reasons for my problems: a) either I screwed up when transferring the old site to the new server b) the site's files were infected with Timthumb and possibly other dangerous stuff Facts: I moved the site, put it online, updated all plugins, ran a Timthumb vulnerability scanner over the entire wordpress installation (a WP plugin) and manually deleted/replaced all infected files, which were quite a lot. My reasoning is that while doing that, I might have missed some infected file or simply have been to slow. The symptoms are that a lot of processes stopped working, I checked quite a few log files and all are complaining about wrong ownerships, i.e. most of the problems I found is that www-data owns the folders/files now... My explanation is that on the old server, everything was so secured and tied down, that the infection couldn't spread anywhere (I run those sites with FASTCGI and suexec and a lot of other security mechanisms) but the new one is "unprotected" from inside, meaning that me personally moving the infection onto the server, and the web server running no further protection, I basically spread the virus myself :-( My plan now is to restore a backup of the new server, get it up and running again, then try and clean the infected site before moving it. The question is how do I detect/clean infected files within a wordpress site OFFLINE? All I could goggle, refers to how to clean/scan a live wordpress installation :-( Any advice? Please also feel free to comment if you think you see a flaw in my reasoning, this is not 100% proven (except for the mentioned FACTS), just my deductions. oh, btw. I ran one of the many infected index.php files through an online scanner and here are the results: http://r.virscan.org/report/994a81394f06e1f3643192e334871829.html https://www.virustotal.com/file/4b6...84b318ac763140aa6eda605b/analysis/1343601521/ Funnily enough, the Linux Malware tool I am using doesn't find anything wrong with this file :-( http://www.rfxn.com/projects/linux-malware-detect/ Need to post there for support too. Any advice from someone who faced something like this before? Maybe some pointers about detecting MySQL injections once they have happened already?

Dell outlined its software strategy on Wednesday, casting the growing business as a secondary, but key, component to the company's enterprise product offerings in the long run.
Dell is not looking to become a standalone software company, but wants to build software products that it can attach to its server, services, networking and storage offerings, said John Swainson, president of the software group, during a speech at the company's analyst day, which was webcast.
[ Discover what's new in business applications with InfoWorld's Technology: Applications newsletter. | Get the latest insight on the tech news that matters from InfoWorld's Tech Watch blog. ]
Swainson, the former CEO at software firm CA, was hired by Dell in February with the aim to unite the company's disparate software offerings into a single unit. He spent the first few months assessing the existing assets and envisioning the company's long-term software strategy.
"We're not going to stand up as an independent software business at Dell." Swainson said. "I hope to catalyze the software work that's going on in the company."
Dell is known primarily as a hardware vendor, but is building its product portfolio to offer a complete software and services stack with the hardware. Dell went on an acquisition spree, acquiring eight companies in the last calendar year including security company SonicWall and thin-client hardware and software company Wyse Technology. After Wyse, Dell acquired two software companies in a week-- Clerity and Make Technologies -- which help migrate mainframe workloads to industry standard servers.
Dell is not randomly looking for software pools that are profitable, Swainson said. Instead, the focus is to offer software that makes it easier to manage and secure devices and PCs, and also to offer appliances and servers with business intelligence and cloud applications. The company is also tying service-delivery models closer to hardware, and wants to offer bundles to instantly deploy IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) and SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) offerings.
Dell is putting to work technologies acquired from its recent and earlier purchases as it tries to integrate hardware and services, Swainson said.
The company hopes to initially develop mobile-device management software that will help manage and secure mobile devices and PCs, Swainson said. The company will implement software technologies from Kace, SonicWall and Wyse in the software. Management of data and devices is also getting complex as mobile devices are increasingly used, and the new software could help midmarket customers, Swainson said.
"We've got this tremendous market opportunity ... to really attach software into those businesses," Swainson said.
Device management could be tackled with Kace, which is a line of management appliances that tracks software compliance and hardware configurations and changes. Dell is adding software layers to the Kace appliances that bulk up the management capabilities for a wider range of devices. Swainson also said that some of the thin-client software technologies from Wyse would be used to manage the mobile devices and PCs. The company earlier this year acquired AppAssure, which will provide cloud-based data backup and recovery services for mobile devices and PCs, Swainson said.
Mobile-device management software attaches well to mobile devices and provides a great opportunity for Dell to sell higher-margin products, Swainson said. Dell said it hopes to ship new consumer and business tablets with the Microsoft's upcoming Windows 8 OS. Microsoft has not yet announced a release date for the OS, but it is expected to come sometime later this year.
Other software areas being explored by Dell include analytics and business intelligence software, around which the company can build specific integrated appliances and servers, Swainson said. Dell already offers Quickstart data-warehousing appliances, which comes standard with Boomi software, to connect public cloud services and on-premise applications. Boomi is also key to Dell's pursuit of application service delivery functionality in a SaaS model, which Swainson said is being targeting at the untapped market outside the U.S.

We couldn't help but notice that the Orange County Register took on the New York Times' furthest left columnist, Paul Krugman, this week. Krugman, whose view of America is slightly to the left of Barack Obama's — and who Krugman cheers on at every opportunity — said in his latest column that California Gov. Jerry Brown's agenda is "modestly liberal."
That's akin to saying that Henry Waxman's ideology is moderate. Waxman, of course, is a raving socialist, and his retirement from the House of Representatives this year after a career there spanning 40 years is a welcome development indeed to those who believe in the free market and individual freedom.
Democrat restraint
Krugman says California's state budget is "back in surplus" and says that's because of the restrained spending and common sense budgeting of the Democratic majority in Sacramento.
Please. As the Register noted (quoting as its source the Sacramento Bee's Dan Walters, who's more knowledgeable about California politics than any other living journalist) in describing the budget as showing a "surplus," Krugman ignores the fact that the California State Teachers Retirement System has a current $70 billion shortfall, and does the same with the $60 billion unfunded liability for the health care of retired state employees.
Poverty and high taxes
We're all aware of the financial mess the liberal majority in Sacramento has gotten California into, including those two huge pension shortfalls. And sentient humans are also aware that California has one of the highest poverty rates of any state in the country, a rate made worse by such things as the highest gasoline taxes in the country, the highest individual income tax rate, and easily the most regulationprone state government in America.
Krugman apparently sees these governmenterected hurdles to job growth and economic recovery as a good thing. No surprise there. He also thinks New York is a model of economic common sense. That ought to tell you just how far to the left he leans, and just how obtuse is his evaluation of both California's economic dysfunction and Jerry Brown's "moderation."
The left thinks Jerry Brown is a moderate

November Ceramics in CapeTown was an amazing trip and a fantastic opportunity to meet the best of the best of South African Potters. Cape Insights and Marion Ellis knows just about everybody in the the Western Cape working in Culture and Art. We were taken to Artist's homes and studios like Andile Dyalvane at Imizo, and David Walters in Franschhoek,did hands on work, were honored guests at openings, given tours of museum shows by their curators, danced at parties and ate like royalty. We visited studios where ceramics is a tool for social regeneration and fair trade practice like Toni Burton's Zizamele. We learned about Cape Craft & Design Institute (CCDI) which was set up in 2001 to promote and grow craft as an economic sector in the Western Cape province of South Africa. A not-for-profit company, the CCDI is a joint initiative of the Provincial Government of the Western Cape and the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. The CCDI has also been adopted by the Department of Trade and Industry (the dti) as a model craft hub, to serve as a template for the establishment of similar craft institutes in other provinces of South Africa.
Cape Town is spectacularly beautiful and we were even privileged to accompany Magdalene Odundo to Robben Island for a private tour of Hennie Meyer's ceramic installation with a film crew, and were privy to stories of Nelson Mandela by his guard and subsequent friend. I thought Magdalene's all day workshop would be the highlight of the trip, but the entire experience was the highlight of my travel experience.
November is to be Ceramic Month from here on going forward. Come and experience this for yourselves. My husband is not a potter and he chose to be a participant and had a fantastic time. Google the people I mentioned, especially Marion Ellis at Cape Insights, and encourage the Potter's council to add Cape Town's "November Ceramics in CapeTown" to their sponsored tours.

A Royal Affair review
A period drama that's more dark, in-depth character study than light-hearted romp...
The team behind the original Danish version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo reunite for period drama A Royal Affair. It is the age of enlightenment in Europe, but in Denmark the nobility rule by oppression, supported by strong religious forces. Caroline Mathilde (Alicia Vikander) is married off to King Christian VII of Denmark (Mikkel Boe Folsgaard) before she even meets him. Having never left England before, Caroline is excited by the prospect of a "new life" and new language but disappointed to discover Christian has little interest in her.
When they first meet, the King is hiding behind a tree and initial interactions are believably awkward. It soon becomes clear, Christian is more than just disinterested when he orders her to "Move [her] fat little thighs and have a seat". Described as "sick and tormented", Christian certainly does enough to try anyone's patience – unashamedly sleeping with prostitutes, loudly reciting lines in unison with actors during performances and chatting with friends during sex. "Excessive masturbation" is believed to be the cause of many of his problems but it soon becomes clear strained family relations and his own desperate need for recognition are perhaps more to blame.
Once Caroline becomes pregnant, she no longer bothers to uphold the facade of a successful marriage, refusing the King his nightly visitation rights to her chamber. Nick-naming her "mother" and sacking her favourite maid in retaliation are his last truly detestable acts. Once Christian hires a new physician everything changes – Caroline has a new lover to keep her sane and Christian has someone to aid and advise him. The arrival of this new physician is almost enough to make Christian likeable and inspires him to dissolve the Royal Council who've previously rejected all of his free-thinking ideas. With the council gone, Christian is able to suggest his own ground-breaking laws and public services, including his idea of having carriages to go around the city picking up people who are too drunk to find their way home.
Mads Mikkelsen plays Johann Friedrich, the influential personal physician to the King – a small town doctor anonymously writing radical papers whose father was a priest. Put forward by dukes who've fallen from favour, Johann must champion their cause if he gets the job. His interview with Christian is the funniest scene in this fascinating historical period of Danish history. Quoting literary works at each other, Christian and Johann quickly form a bond and come to an understanding. Literature also connects Johann and Caroline and early philosophical discussions about Rousseau prompt the beginnings of a passionate affair. Despite Johann betraying and using Christian, he also helps him to feel powerful and in control for the first time in his life by scripting proposals for new legal reforms for him.
Aside from captivating performances, A Royal Affair is interesting for the insights it gives into late 18th century living. Early on, Caroline is told by her mother she'll be deemed as a great success if the King visits her bedchamber on the first evening. On arrival to Copenhagen many of her books are confiscated under Danish censorship laws. A sub-plot involving Christian's vindictive stepmother and half-brother highlight how conniving the royal family were. After Christian appoints Johann, Denmark becomes a pioneering country introducing 100s of new laws creating orphanages for children, abolishing corporal punishment/censorship etc. Interestingly, Punch and Judy shows seem to have acted as an early form of today's gossip column, blatantly depicting the Queen and Johann's affair.
Director, Nikolaj Arcel, bases the film on Bodil Steensen-Leth's erotic novel, Prinsesse af Blodet. As the book is written from the Queen's perspective, a female voice-over weaves the story together, initially claiming she must try to remember Johann and tell us about the things [they] did together. It soon becomes clear who this "us" is when it's revealed she's writing to her estranged children, keen to tell them: "the truth before it's too late". Flitting back and forth to her letter writing reminds us this is a reflective tale and one that will end badly.
Although A Royal Affair is a lengthy film it's one that never drags; An excellent central trio hold our interest. Mikkelsen is brilliant as Christian's over-confident puppeteer but it is Folsgaard who deserves recognition for pulling off a difficult role in managing to ensure an almost wholly detestable character remains sympathetic. Childlike innocence combines with moments of brutal insanity to depict Christian's unpredictable character – although mentally unstable, he's primarily governed by a desperate need for acceptance and love. Exploring themes of loyalty and absolute trust, the Royal Affair in the film is predictably doomed. Despite a depressing end for our heroes, the final message avoids being bleak, instead emphasising hope lying within future generations.

wikiHow to Stay Safe at Night
Night is a dangerous time in some parts of the world. In some cities, gangs go around, when people are less attentive. Being out at night in such areas is also very dangerous. However, danger can be minimized with a few extra tips.
1Always have a plan of where you are going. Being organized and prepared is the key. You should know where to go in case of trouble.
2Carry a cell phone with you at all times. This is the number one key. If you are in trouble, you can quickly call someone. For this same reason, have someone to call, like a parent or a friend.
3Walk confidently. Assailants often look for weak people to target. Walk with your shoulders up and your eyes faced forward. Don't hunch yourself together or show that you are scared in any way. People will be less inclined to attack you in this case.
4Travel with a friend. There is safety in numbers, and culprits can be easily overcome by large numbers of people. Also, if you are hurt, someone can go and get help. Criminals are less likely to attack you if you are in a group.
5If you are traveling with valuables, try not to show it. For example, a very expensive diamond necklace would not be advisable to wear when there are less people around. Don't carry a very heavy purse either. These attributes will attract thieves to steal from you and assault you.
6If confronted, speak slowly and calmly. There is nothing worse than showing that you are scared. If you are confident, the people might leave you alone. Showing fear will incline them to cause you harm. Look them straight in the eyes too. Speak loudly. Assure them that you will not cause any harm if released. Don't beg, this will show you are scared.
7Stall for time by delaying the assailant as much as possible. Try to wriggle out of their grip and run for help, screaming. Screaming, "Help", will not do as much as screaming, "Fire!" It will make people intervene.
8Try to observe the feature of the person who confront you. Include hair and eye color, birth marks, gender, and an estimated height. This will later help you catch him/her.
9Report to the safest place possible that is nearby, like a police station. Call the cops and report your incident. Include the details of the confronter.
10If you are raped, don't change, douche, shower or use the restroom. Important details can be lost. Report the rape immediately to authorities and follow any additional instructions they may give you.
11Stay in well-lit, populated areas. Areas without decent lightning can be the scenes of incidents.

©2007 David Hosp; (P)2007 Recorded Books
"This gripping legal thriller...will be a hit with genre fans across the board." (Booklist)
"Clever banter, interesting legalities and compelling characters put Hosp...in the running for a top spot in the Boston legal thriller stakes." (Publishers Weekly)
"Difficult to turn off"
I really enjoyed listening to this book. As the story went on it became more difficult to turn off and go to work. It was easy to relate to the characters, setting in Boston was done well and the story developed well!
Retired former magazine editor who is working harder than ever as Mr. Dad to his 14-year-old daughter.
"Another entertaining llisten"
After listening to Dark Harbor I was intrigued enough to download this newest book by Hosp. I wasn't disappointed. Although situations and outcomes are somewhat predictable, that fact doesn't detract from the overall performance. I enjoyed the relationship and banter between Finn and Koz. And although the May-December romance that Hosp injected into the story was a bit of a stretch, the May character was funny and believable. Somehow it all worked. Narrator Guidall was excellent and portrayed characters in a way that left little doubt as to who was doing the talking. I'll continue to download books by Hosp as they become available.
This was my first Hosp book. I liked the detective,Finn and the private eye, "Koz" although the young associate that works for Finn was a little bit unbelievable ... a little too rough around the edges. The story was interesting with some twists and turns, some great love "scenes" and some tense violent sections, but like another reviewer, I guessed the ending too. It didn't really matter though. I still found it hard to stop listening. I even brought my MP3 Player out of my car and into the office one afternoon so I could continue listening. Georg Guidall, the narrator, is one of my favorites and is one of the reasons I decided to listen to this book. He's great. Listen to the Tony Hillerman books for more of his work.
"interesting mystery"
This mystery was very interesting. I recommend the story, but it had lots of very bad language.
Enjoying one good listen after the next!
"If You Like Great Lawyering . . . Buy This!"
This one was a great, fun listen. Not that the story was funny. But it is such a joy to listen to George Guidall perform a well-crafted legal mystery. The characters are such that I would want to read/listen to more books featuring them . . . a male lawyer, a female law student-turned-legal-para, and an old-school, lovable male private eye. This trio enjoys a unique work/life relationship and their adventures are full of peril, twists and turns and maybe, even a little romancing between two of them.
The court proceedings are interesting and I enjoyed learning more about DNA evidence, how evidence can be faked or set up and how experts can untangle the morass.
I can't help but recommend this one. It is good in every way.
"Great nation likable characters"
Book is well written. George guidelines narration is perfection. Very enjoyable Plot twists a tiny romance a big bromance. Who could ask for more
Wow,I loved it. I was driving home from a presentation I made and was a little mentally exhausted. The last two hours of the book brought me home and I never thought about my mental exhaustion. It was riveting.
Read it, you'll enjoy it.
"An author who needs to be heard"
I read David's first book, "Dark Harbour" some time ago, and when I stumbled upon "Innocence", I was thrilled! He has real talent - the perfect style of writer for good suspense or crime drama. His characters are funny, sarcastic and very, very real. They don't come across as the super-genius detective or the indestructable medical examiner or whatever.. they are human. His writing reminds me a lot of David Baldacci, and that's a HUGE compliment in my opinion.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good suspense story. I haven't bothered to write many reviews lately because I never want to take the time. David Hosp made me want to take the time. I know I loved a book when after it ends, and the familiar "Audible Guy" comes on and says, "Audible hopes you have enjoyed this program", and I answer out loud, "Yes, I did," it's a damn good book. :)
"Good book, a little "telegraphed" though"
This is a good story with interesting characters and excellent narration. I would have definitely rated it higher except that the ending plot twist was so obvious and telegraphed, it was almost painful to listen to the main character puzzle over it. And the thing is, i NEVER guess the ending of a book - I don't even try. Not only am i not good at it, i much prefer to just let the story unfold. But this was so obvious, i couldn't help it. Having said all that, i still enjoyed the book as a whole. And i'll definitely look at others by this narrator.
Note: there was also a plot issue that i'm not sure added up. I wish that AUDIBLE had a dissussion forum, or an email echange where we lsiteners could discuss such things...
David Hosp takes you on another ride with just the right amount of plausible twists and turns. Highly recommend this read! And, of course, George Guidall is fabulous as the narrator!

The baseball card collecting hobby has always been well suited to the baseball fan. By collecting baseball cards of your favorite MLB baseball team you can keep track of your teams players and show off your team pride all at once. Topps Baseball cards have been collected longer than any other brand on the market today and card collecting has been a fun family activity for many years. All cards in the team set are listed below.

Collecting baseball cards and other sports cards is a fun way for the whole family to build lasting memories.
Baseball Cards and Sports Cards collecting tips: A key thing to remember when building your baseball card and other sports cards collections is that the condition of the baseball card, football card, or other sports cards is very important to it's value and the selling price. Baseball cards in lower condition bring far less than those same baseball cards in top shape. Make sure to protect your sports cards with the proper card supplies every time. If you ever think of selling baseball cards, football cards, or other sports cards your top condition cards will always get better prices than sports cards that are not in top condition regardless if they are old sports cards or new sports cards when you put them up for sale.
There is no right or wrong baseball cards to collect. Many people like Topps baseball cards or Upper Deck baseball cards but there have been many manufacturers over the years and even the ones that are no longer in business anymore like Fleer or Pinnacle are collected by many. Some buy only new sports cards while other buy only old baseball cards. Price, value or what a price guide says a sports card is worth should not be the only or even the main factor in what you buy. The way to have the most fun with the hobby is to collect what you like and how you like and not what someone else says they think you should.
Many hobbiests like to buy baseball cards by the pack or box and get a thrill out of hitting their favorite player or that hard to find card insert, autograph or relic card. Others like to collect baseball card team sets or cards of their home town players and yet others buy factory sets or build sets by hand. Collecting baseball cards, football cards, basketball cards, or any other types of sports trading cards can be a life long hobby that's fun for the whole family. So above all enjoy your hobby.

Bad Luck with Kioti CK25 Starting Problem - Again!
Previously, I had asked for help in troubleshooting the lack of power to the starter solenoid in this thread:
Once I got that resolved, the tractor has been starting and running fine - I've been using it to mow. Today, I have the exact same problem, nothing on the final turn of the ignition switch after the glow plugs go out. So I thought the old problem returned. But it is something new. I do have a good 12 volts to the solenoid.
Please can I get some advice on the next path to troubleshoot this issue?
I bought this used, and I am beginning to think I bought a lemon. I'd like to be able to use the tractor when I want to, after doing my routine maintenance. Is that too much to ask?2007 Kioti CK25HST, KL130 FEL, back blade, box blade, rotary mower, landscape rake, forks attachment.
Re: Bad Luck with Kioti CK25 Starting Problem - Again!
If you have a voltmeter (1) measure the voltage at the big terminal on the starter - should be 12.xx volts. (2) Measure the voltage at the small terminal on the starter - should be zero. (3) Measure the voltage at the small terminal on the starter while someone turns the key to the crank position - should jump to about 12 volts while key turned. (4) If step 3 is OK, repeat step 1 while someone turns the key to the crank position.
If all the voltages are good there is a dead-spot on the starter. This can be an actual dead spot (or dirt) on the commutator, a sticky brush, or a sticky "bendix". In any case, tap on the starter with a small hammer or medium size piece of wood. You can do this while someone holds the key in the crank position if you are sure you won't get run over if it starts.
If you fail test 1 or 4 you have a bad battery or battery cable/connection.
If you fail test 3 you have a problem again in the signal to the starter. It could be a bad key switch (been there), a bad safety switch, or a wiring problem (like a corroded connector). You have some experience with this.
There is a brute-force test, which is to short the big and small terminals on the starter. This should make the starter turn unless the battery, battery cables, or starter proper are bad. But this test can produce sparks that can damage the threaded terminals on the starter or cause a fire, especially if you accidentally short something to the chassis. So I recommend using a meter if you have one.

Re: Bad Luck with Kioti CK25 Starting Problem - Again!
Thanks for helping me.
I do have a multimeter and have done a series of tests like you outlined and more. I think I have some strange results. So I would like some advice.
Tests 1 and 2 are positive, meaning big terminal 12 volts, small terminal zero.
Test 3 is more complex and I spent a lot of time on this one.
If I disconnect the red wire that connects to the solenoid and test it with my volt meter, I get 12 volts at the end of the red wire when the switch is turned all the way and the clutch pedal is completely depressed. But, if I connect the red wire to the solenoid and check the voltage at the metal tab that the red wire connects to, it is zero when the key is turned all the way and the clutch pedal depressed.
At first I thought I had a dirty connection. So I cleaned both ends. I used a wire brush on the spade terminal on the solenoid and contact cleaner and a spare spade terminal on the black clip connector on the red wire. It still showed zero voltage when connected so I thought I must have a bad connector. I cut the black connector off and stripped back the red wire covering it to expose the copper wire. This is when I found that I had 12 volts in the end of the exposed wire when the key is turned, but that 12 volts goes to zero the moment I touch it to the spade terminal on the solenoid.
I hope you know what this means. I am completely lost as to what is broken.2007 Kioti CK25HST, KL130 FEL, back blade, box blade, rotary mower, landscape rake, forks attachment.
Re: Bad Luck with Kioti CK25 Starting Problem - Again!
I know what it means. sort of. You have high resistance somewhere in the circuit that delivers power to the small terminal. It could be in the key switch, the clutch safety switch, an inline connector, or an actual bad piece of wire (not likely).
Here's what's happening. Ohm's law: V=I x R. When the wire is disconnected no current can flow through it (like a capped-off water pipe). So I=0 when disconnected so there is no voltage drop between the battery and the end of your wire (V=0), for any value of R less than infinity. BUT there is a high resistance (poor connection) somewhere in that circuit such that when you connect the wire to the starter and let current (I) flow you lose (almost) the whole 12 volts across the resistance. By the way, I'd expect the total resistance in the circuit feeding the starter to be less than one or two ohms.
I don't have the schematic for your tractor but we know some of the possible causes: key switch and safety switch. There are certainly more. As I recall, you saw a fairly high resistance (like 50 ohm) when you tested the safety switch before so I'd start there. Disconnect the wires from the safety switch and rig some way to short them together (like a piece of wire, metal, etc.) but don't let the metal jumper touch the tractor chassis temporarily wrap with tape if needed. Reconnect the starter wire at the starter. Then see if the tractor cranks. If so, you found the culprit, adjust or replace that switch. If not. you need to keep looking.
The systematic way to proceed (if it's not that safety switch) is to reconnect the wire to the starter and then, using the schematic and voltmeter, work your way "upstream" from the starter terminal to the battery testing for 12v at each accessible point when the key is turned to crank. Eventually you'll find a point where the 12v is still good (with key turned) and you will have isolated the problem; it's something between the last bad reading and the first good reading.Scott: Kioti DK45S, KL451 loader, Phoenix M72S mower, Deere BB5072 Box Scraper, Fit Rite Hydro Top & Side Links; DIY Kioti knowledge site (in work): http://kioti.dyndns.org/
Re: Bad Luck with Kioti CK25 Starting Problem - Again!
Again, I don't have a schematic for your tractor but I looked at some of the DK schematics for HST models have something called a cruise unit. This may not apply to you because those DKs don't seem to have a clutch interlock.
Some models, like the CK20 manual send power to the starter solenoid directly through the key switch and the clutch lockout switch. I Think that is how your's works but that's a guess; as I said, I don't have the schematic.
The larger DK models the key switch powers a relay which switches on power to the starter. In that arrangement the cruise unit provides the ground to the relay (relay won't function without ground). This ground is only available when the PTO is off and the gear selector is in neutral. It's possible you'r machine has some of this complexity, but I doubt it.Scott: Kioti DK45S, KL451 loader, Phoenix M72S mower, Deere BB5072 Box Scraper, Fit Rite Hydro Top & Side Links; DIY Kioti knowledge site (in work): http://kioti.dyndns.org/

Disregard the previous post. I've been looking at Michigan Iron's excellent parts site for the CK25H:

Re: Bad Luck with Kioti CK25 Starting Problem - Again!
Thank you for trying to help me.
I conducted a few more experiments based on advice from a neighbor with a tractor. He suggested that I may have a stuck solenoid too, so I should try tapping it gently, which I did but nothing happened. He told me as a last resort, I could use a battery starting cable as a short across the two terminals to start the tractor. I tried this and all that happens is the starter motor spins, but it is not engaged so the the tractor does not turn over.
Lastly, whatever is wrong is intermittent as one time when I was trying to start the tractor, it started. But of course when I shut it off, it would not re-start. The time it started was simply turning the key, waiting then turning some more - I didn't do anything special.2007 Kioti CK25HST, KL130 FEL, back blade, box blade, rotary mower, landscape rake, forks attachment.

Re: Bad Luck with Kioti CK25 Starting Problem - Again!
Some starters need the solenoid activated to move the starter gear into the flywheel. I will check my CK30 when I get home on Thursday if you want me to. I suspect if you had provided 12v to starter solenoid at the same time as you connected battery power to the starter it would have turned the engine over. I know I am new to this party.. but it does sound like you have a bad connection somewhere and Scott in post 4 gave you a good method to track it down... not necessarily easy, but a good methodology. As he said, I believe that you only have; a few connections, the clutch safety switch and the key switch in the electrical path to the starter. There is no PTO or range safety switch that I am aware of on the CK tractors like there is on the DK tractors. I believe the "cruise control" on the CK's is just a clamp of some sort that holds the HST pedal in place where you set it. My bet is on either the clutch switch or the key switch. The key switches are notorious on the CK's for going bad as the water gets in them and corrodes them. Do you have the hook to hold the clutch pedal down while you troubleshoot? If you run a wire directly from the battery to the solenoid connection on the starter, what happens? Where are you located?

Re: Bad Luck with Kioti CK25 Starting Problem - Again!
Shorting the big starter terminal (at 12v always) to the small terminal should accomplish the same thing as turning the switch to the crank position. This is the same as the "brute force" test I described in post #2. I think you said that doing this made the starter motor spin up but the starter gear did not engage the flywheel. Maybe this is an anomaly but the same solenoid (within the starter) that makes the big electrical connection that makes the motor run should force the pinion gear to engage the flywheel. Maybe you should try that test again. If the starter consistently runs without engaging the flywheel there is a problem inside the starter. I think this is unlikely because it is totally new behavior.
In any case, this starter issue (not engaging flywheel) is a separate issue from "nothing" happening when you turn the key.
One correction to my post #3. Looking again at a CK20 schematic I do have, I see that there is indeed a starter relay, which is another possible source of your problem. I suspect it is mounted on the firewll along with several other relays, but that's a guess.Scott: Kioti DK45S, KL451 loader, Phoenix M72S mower, Deere BB5072 Box Scraper, Fit Rite Hydro Top & Side Links; DIY Kioti knowledge site (in work): http://kioti.dyndns.org/

Re: Bad Luck with Kioti CK25 Starting Problem - Again!
OK, I see you have a 2007 CK with how many hours?
I read your other thread and I'd like you to verify a few things: How old is your battery? Have you checked and cleaned your battery ground cable connection at the frame? If not, do so and make sure there is NO corrosion whatsoever at the frame and on the ground connection. Make sure to use anti-seize or battery post spray to seal the frame ground from further possible corrosion. Verify the ground cable to the battery by disconnecting it from the battery post and connecting a lead from your meter to the frame bolt and one to the end that connects to the battery. Move the cable around and see if the reading changes. If it does replace the entire ground cable and ends.
It sounds like you have a drop in current from your ignition circuit through to your starting circuit, BUT to properly troubleshot this you first need to verify your charging circuit, battery and cables, as outlined above. I suspect your starter/solenoid, relay function is hampered, intermittently, by poor flow of current through the entire circuit; probably a result of a bad ground, as testing outlined above will confirm.
Problem is when a poor ground condition exists, over time, left unresolved, the result is arcing at relay contacts, lack of heat dissipation in the components that make up the circuit, etc. Over time this can result in 'funky' hard to trace intermittent issues like you're experiencing.
Don't give up- you didn't buy a lemon, just a tractor that needs some updated preventive maintenance.
Report back results, don't replace anything yet until 'we' have a more solid diagnosis.

New slot machines raking in money for district
They've only been in Maple Ridge since October, but already the 100 electronic slot machines are helping pay the municipality's bills.
In their first three months of operation, from October to December 2010, the machines generated $125,000 for the district.
The municipality gets 10 per cent of revenues from the slot machines and is expecting to earn at least $300,000 annually.
Great Canadian Gaming expanded the Haney Bingo Plex last year at a cost of about a million dollars, to make room for the new machines.
Council wants the money to go to one-off projects and will check out next quarter's results in May to get a better idea of how much the machines will actually earn for the municipality.

Hey there,
I was in London last summer, I recall seeing multiple brochures kicking about with tours out there on a bus. It's on the side of a highway I believe and a fair distance away from London. I would think that it takes the majority of the day.
There is an amazing amount of stuff todo in London if you change your mind as well <!--graemlin::)--> - 0 people like this

In the cellar…
Posted By Josh Lile On Apr 25 2009 @ 7:53 pm In Houston Astros | 1 Comment
Now I realize the season is still young, but the Astros are sitting in the cellar of the NL Central.
Yes, behind the Pirates.
Most remarkable though is that they have the 2nd most losses in the major leagues, tied with Cleveland at 11, behind the Nationals.
Why, you may ask, are the Astros in the cellar? I'll give you two numbers: .320, .387. These respectively are the Astros team OBP and SLG. You can't win with singles hitters that have no patience. They don't have nearly enough pitching to make up for it either. They're in the middle of the pack pitching wise which is serviceale. Not good, but serviceable.
For good measure the Astros are also 2nd in the senior circuit in fielding percentage. If Roy Oswalt comes back around they won't finish in the cellar, but without an offensive improvement they'll be looking at a top 10 pick 14 months from now.

L.A. Beer Week: Your Guide to This Week's Beer Pairing Dinners
Beer pairings at Toronado in San Diego
Sarah Bennett
Now in its 5th year, L.A. Beer Week seems to have become more than just an opportunity to ween people off of Miller Lite, graduating into a massive ten-day, two-county affair with emphasis on even more sophisticated explorations of local beer.
Sure the tap takeovers and special beer releases will always be an integral part of what LABW provides, but more than ever this time around, breweries are teaming up with restaurants (and even their own kitchens!) to create beer-pairing dinners that are guaranteed to chip away at L.A.'s obsession with wine.
"Beer is all over the flavor range, in every direction," said El Segundo Brewing's Tom Kelly on why his hop-forward brand decided to focus on beer dinners for its LABW events. "Wine tastes like grapes, since it's made from grapes ... Winemakers are completely limited by the quality of their fruit. Brewers [on the other hand] are chefs, artists even and have a chef-like creativity to bring to life recipes that many wouldn't even consider."
From special seating five-courses with high price points to casual pay-as-you-go mix-and-match menus, the remainder of L.A. Beer Week is filled with options for any budget and any palate. Turn the page for the next five days of ways to explore the culinary connections between beer and food.

Hello, I'm have trouble setting up HTTP authentication on one of my domains. I have a security realm defined for the vhost with a password file set and a user added to the file through Litespeed. Then I added a Static Context with URI = "/", Accessible = Yes, and Realm set to the realm I defined, however, this setup is not working. I get a prompt for a login when I visit the domain, but I can't login with the username and password I specified for the user DB file. I always just get the login popup again. When I check the log, this is all I get: Authentication failed with user: 'admin'. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks. EDIT: Got it. It seems that just because Litespeed can write to it does not mean that the user the webserver runs as (nobody) can see it - I had it in the conf directory where only lsadm had access. Is there an explanation somewhere of the users that Litespeed has and what their roles are that I can read?
litespeed running user (i.e. nobody) is different from lsadm (running user for lsws admin web console which manage/manipulate lsws configuration). lsws running user (nobody) is for lsws access resource resides on server on behalf of end user. lsadm is for lsws backend admin to manage lsws.

Serious Message To Bill Clinton
If Obama loses a close election -- one in which even one state where you could have made a difference goes for McCain because you sat home and pouted -- it will be on you. We will remember that you couldn't be bothered to rise above your petty resentments
[Election 2008]
Given that we would never have had the odious George W. Bush in the White House in the first place if it wasn't for your blow jobs, Bill, it seems obvious that you owe it to the people of this country, and especially to the parents whose kids died in the Iraq War that Gore would never have started, and to all the parents whose kids would be killed in the WarFest that would be a McCain/Palin -- sorry, Palin/McCain -- administration to do everything in your power to get Barack Obama elected.
But that's not what you're doing, Bill, and it's not going unnoticed. We see your rage, Bill, it's too huge to hide. We see that -- as Chris Rock so brilliantly pointed out -- it pains you to even speak Obama's name. We see you petulantly rooting against him even as you go through the motions of doing the barest minimum on his behalf to avoid being blamed if he loses.
You're not fooling anyone, Bill. You've gotten so caught up in yesterday that you've stopped thinking about tomorrow. You have the power to influence millions of voters and you're spitefully sitting on it. Surely you've noticed what's going on in the country. Surely you're aware of what's at stake on November 4th. This is not a game that you can afford to take your ball and go home with if you don't get to play the position you want. An Obama loss will most certainly be part of your legacy.
There's still time to fix it. How about this for an October surprise? Bill Clinton gets on the road and spends every day until the election sincerely and wholeheartedly communicating the urgency of electing Obama. You're the greatest politician of your generation, Bill. Surely you can fake enthusiasm for a month.
Oh, and stop talking about how much you like Senator McCain. Have you forgotten the vile joke he told a decade ago at your wife's and daughter's expense? Let me remind you: "Do you know why Chelsea Clinton is so ugly? She's the child of Janet Reno and Hillary Clinton." Are you saying, Bill, that you can forgive McCain for calling Chelsea "ugly" but you can't forgive Obama for defeating Hillary?
If Obama loses a close election -- one in which even one state where you could have made a difference goes for McCain because you sat home and pouted -- it will be on you. We will remember that you couldn't be bothered to rise above your petty resentments for something as trivial as saving your country from the enemies of everything you profess to believe in. We forgave you for Monica, Bill, but we won't forgive you for this.
