Mario Sueiras was 14 years old when he bought a 1939 Ford coupe for $80. As a teenager, he also was repairing motorcycles. But it wasn't until he was nearly 50 years old that the Guatemalan businessman started collecting and restoring classic vehicles, starting with a 1951 Chevrolet pickup truck.
Sueiras' collection has grown to more than 100 vehicles, and he's consigned more than 50 to Mecum Auctions' collector car sale April 4-6 in Houston.
This will be Sueiras' second consignment with Mecum. In 2004, he sent more than 20 vehicles to Mecum's sale on northern California's Monterey Peninsula. Pleased with the results, and ready to part with even more of his collection, Sueiras' consignment at Houston ranges in size from a 1968 Vespa 150 Sprint and 193 Messerschmitt KR200 to a 1936 Ford woody wagon and a 1932 LaSalle 345B town coupe.
The consignment offers quite a variety, from microcars to muscle cars — 1964 Pontiac GTO, 1968 Shelby GT350, 1955 Chrysler C-300, 1968 Oldsmobile 442 — and from classics to sports car, including a 1969 Jaguar E-type roadster, 1977 Ferrari 308 GTS, and a 1965 Austin-Healey 3000 MkIII BJ8.
"Being a collector means having a love for something and acting on that passion for it," Sueiras told Mecum.
"Patience and absolute attention to detail has been a norm," he noted of the time and attention he takes while doing each restoration.
Mecum says its auction at the NRG Center in Houston will offer a docket of 1,000 vehicles, including more than 130 motorcycles being offered at no reserve.
Highlights in addition to the Sueiras cars include a restored 1967 Shelby GT350 Ford Mustang and 134 motorcycles being offered at no reserve from the Mur the Blur Collection, among them a 1968 Triumph Bonneville and a 1944 Indian Chief.
Great post Larry!! Thank you for sharing Mario's remarkable story!
Was it perhaps a Freudian slip to tag one of the cars a 1953 HASH Healey?

The new BMW X5 is a "good youth", but it's not rushing to drive autonomously – IT & Transport – cnBeta.COM
china December 11, 2018 china
With 7 interactive movements and a 50 meter automatic rewind, the new BMW X5 takes a step forward in a fun and practical direction. Before the end of 2018, known as the "BMW X Year", this last debut product made many microinnovations in human-computer interaction, intelligent driving, power and driving conditions, allowing us to see the main engine factory. Think and strengthen, but also expose its careful approach to autonomous driving.
In July 2016, BMW announced the joint development of fully automated driving technology with Intel and Mobileye. It plans to start road testing in the second half of 2017 and conduct road tests of 40 BMW self-propelled cars in the US and Europe.
According to the California Autonomous Vehicles, issued by the California Vehicle Authority, road test companies did not include BMW, Ford, Honda and U.S. , Volkswagen USA and Wheego. The first place in the autopilot test kilometer was chosen by Waymo, which scored 63 times in 352,544 miles, followed by General Cruise with a test drive of 131,675 miles and "released" 105 times.
For BMW, X5 is a sales dealer's main product. The attitude and practice of self-driving contained in it reflects the OEM judgment on the market. Lei Feng network new wisdom to understand that the new BMW X5, unlike the cool intelligent network connection feature, is still a slightly conservative L2 autopilot. From this point of view, BMW is a practical "good youth".
"Hello, BMW"
Tony Stark worked brilliantly in the film "Iron Man". He used gestures to manipulate holographic projections and was repeatedly mentioned by BMW China coach Li Ning.
This is because the new BMW X5 adds two new moves based on the original five movements, namely "moves towards the thumb (representing backwards / forward left and right) and" opens fist "(custom gesture)." If you used to have movements when you started the BMW X5, you can try it.
Recovery improvements are among the changes in the seventh generation of the BMW iDrive human-computer interaction system. Looking back on previous product discoveries, BMW used a card-based interface and supported touch in the fifth-generation human-computer interaction system. By the sixth generation, I can see real-time display information on the website. In the seventh generation, interaction between people and computers has become more interactive and interactive.
The new BMW X5's central control panel
As we all know, due to road safety, the voice becomes the common human-computer interaction mode for car companies.
In recent years, BMW has shown two major trends in the development of human-computer interaction systems, namely that the voice interaction function becomes stronger and stronger, and the function of the touch button is gradually weakened. When sitting on the main dome or co-author of the new BMW X5, people can interact with the vehicle via the voice "Hello, BMW" or customize another wake up word.
The Lei Feng Network's new wisdom drive saw that the new BMW X5 speech recognition capability is excellent, even if you trust the co-dealer can also control the vehicle with voice. The gesture camera area is a steering wheel, a central control panel and a handbag, and the sensor is relatively convenient. In addition, display information on the car's HUD head-up display system has become more extensive.
However, the new BMW X5 touch button only updates textures, inlaid with more trendy crystal and metal flower, shortcuts and usage habits are not changed in relation to the old car.
Press the button
The new BMW X5 has a smaller screen than the old one. The differences from some new car powers are the big screen or multi-screen binding. The instrument panel and central control panel all use a 12.3 "HD screen. There is also a 7 * 3.5 HUD head-up display that the driver can see.
It is worth noting that while BMW and Baidu have collaborated in autonomous driving, they still chose Gaode in navigation.
The autopilot is a little conservative
Compared with Tesla, the new BMW X5 is still a bit conservative for autonomous driving.
BMW's official self-proclaimed Smart Driver Assistance system is largely equivalent to the L2 autopilot feature, which is supported by hardware like radar sensors, ultrasonic sensors and cameras. The data show that the new BMW X5 Intelligent Driving Assistance System contains 11 features, including traffic jams, road change assistance and narrow driving. In addition, this car is also equipped with the inverted help function for the first time, which can record the 50 meter long track in real time and return to the original route.
After driving on the road, Lei Feng Network's new intelligent car experiences the new BMW X5 Intelligent Driving Assistance.
From the aspect of driver status monitoring, the new BMW X5, unlike the Tesla Model X, which mainly drives the driver through the wheel, adds a driver's attention system through the camera to analyze the driver's main position. And flashes. When driving on the road, it is necessary to find that the driver is looking forward, the car can use the smart driving assistance function.
Intelligent driving assist system in use
When the vehicle reaches a certain speed, it automatically wakes up to the track holding function. At this time, if the course is not changed, the steering wheel will automatically return to the original track. When the operation function is activated, the hand gently holds the steering wheel and the system can help the corners turn. After activating the low-frequency follow-up function, the driver can set the distance from the front trolley. If a car suddenly stops, the vehicle is automatically lowered.
With regard to the reversing auxiliary function, Lei Feng Network's new wisdom car discovered that the 50 meter automatic reversal function is suitable for finding parking spaces on narrow road sections.
However, while using the vehicle, the vehicle is not completely reversed, but uses the system and the driver to cooperate. The system controls the vehicle back after the previous roadway and the driver controls the speed of rotation. The design is that accidents such as pedestrians or other vehicles may occur during the carriage of the car.
Pay more attention to traditional performance
Perhaps because of safety considerations, the new BMW X5 is conservative in automotive driving, but it also emphasizes the improvement of intelligent network, power and comfort.
Klaus Froehlich, a member of the BMW Board, has pointed out that the company will strictly test its self-propelled cars with a high degree of safety with a total test mode of 250 million kilometers. Of these, 20 million kilometers will be performed on real-time roads, while the remaining 230 million kilometers will be performed in a virtual transit environment simulated by giant supercomputers.
This is a near-paranoid test standard, but if you contact BMW for performance testing of your vehicle, you will feel that everything is reasonable.
gravel test
According to BMW China coach Dong Weijun in the new BMW X5 test, it is necessary to go through the Swedish winter test center for Arjeplog, the South African gravel road, the American desert area and other climatic and full road conditions to verify the newly developed suspension and undercarriage system, where also a complete road driving test of 200,000 km bicycles.
"After 200,000 kilometers, this car will be sent to Germany intact and then completely removed to see if there is a problem with" dark damage "," metal fatigue. "Although it opens 199,000 kilometers if it happens before the test center Accidents, all work must be redone. "Dong Weijun revealed.
For the interior appearance and power consumption, as the traditional car companies are valuable, the new BMW X5 has not stopped improving.
For example, the new BMW X5's 100 kilometer acceleration is 1 second higher than the previous generation and reached 5.5 seconds. Fuel consumption per. 100 kilometers fell by 1.1 liters to 8.6 liters. For the first time, the new car is equipped with four terrain driving modes of gravel, sand, ice and rock, enriching the driving company from the vehicle. In addition, the new BMW X5 has a wheelbase of 42mm and reached 2975mm compared to the old models. The decor is elegant, structured and elegant, which makes the room look spacious.
Based on these details, the development of the new BMW X5 takes into account the traditional features of the car itself.
In fact, the new BMW X5 is a replacement model, which has previously provoked sales. According to data released by BMW, the BMW X5 has more than 2 million vehicles worldwide. In the Chinese market, the BMW X5 imported cars reached 51,878 vehicles last year. In a sense, the success of the new BMW X5 is related to the development of the X series.
"The automotive industry has almost reached a saturation point. At present, everyone is fighting for strength." Those who have a clear strategy, strong system capacity and fast conversion will win. "Sun Wei, Vice President Corporate Affairs, Greater China, BMW Group Representation.

Optional Federal Charter
May 31, 2007 Claire	2 Comments
While we're on the subject of regulation, today we're responding to a reader's request to blog about the bill introduced on Capitol Hill last week by Republican Senator John Sununu and Democratic Senator Tim Johnson. The National Insurance Act of 2007 would create an optional federal charter for insurers. The measure is similar to a bill introduced by the two Senators in April 2006. Those of you familiar with I.I.I. will be aware that the Institute does not lobby, leaving that role to our advocacy trade colleagues. The state system of insurance regulation in the U.S. began when the Constitution gave Congress the right to regulate commerce among the states. However, the question of state versus federal regulation has been bubbling ever since. As with many of the issues we tackle, this is one that elicits a range of viewpoints and there are pros and cons of both systems. So, with that in mind we welcome your comments and tip you to the I.I.I.'s online update on modernizing insurance regulation.Â

Steve Schaffer says:
OFC is necessary to create a free market for Insurance in the US. It will reduce costs for the Carriers, savings that can be passed on to policyholders. Key is building analytics to quantify and prove value. Complexity magnified by the different products in the different states subject to different Tort Laws. ISO is a source of input data to start building this model. The model will help justify the Bill and help Congress pass the bill.
Charters says:
Come on guys, the prospects for and need for an optional federal charter ("OFC") for insurance companies has been the subject of considerable debate for the past decade or more. Given the tumult in the financial markets, and the recent federal financial assistance and the equity position Treasury has taken in AIG, there has been considerable posturing related to the OFC in the past several weeks, and there will likely be continued developments in that arena in the coming months.
By way of background, in May 2007 (as mentioned here), Senator Sununu (R-NH) and Senator Johnson (D-SD) introduced S. 40 entitled "The National Insurance Act of 2007" ("S. 40"). The provisions of S. 40 are very similar to previous OFC bills Congress has considered dating back to 2001. Under S. 40, and a companion bill in the House (H.R. 3200), there would be an OFC and insurance would be overseen at the federal level by the National Insurance Commissioner, who would be appointed by the President for a five-year term. Under S. 40, a dual regulatory structure would be created under which insurance companies could determine whether to be chartered under federal or state law. An Office of National Insurance would be created within Treasury to support the regulation of insurers.
More recently, the Treasury Department's Blueprint for a Modernized Financial Regulatory Structure ("Blueprint") also developed a structure for an OFC and federal regulation of insurance.8 While the Blueprint was careful not to suggest that it concurred with all aspects of S. 40, instead setting forth general guiding principles for federal insurance regulation, the general structure recommended followed the major principles of S. 40. Under the Blueprint, Treasury recommended as "intermediate steps" the establishment of a federal structure to allow for an OFC; and the creation of an Office of National Insurance within Treasury. In addition, the Blueprint called for Congress to create an "Office of Insurance Oversight" within Treasury as an interim step to establish a federal presence on regulatory and international insurance issues.
This is a hot topic again and I'm sure the debate will continue.

Below are the audio files for this lesson. Take your time and try to work these out. There are some notes for playing each one under the audio file. Shown first are the video examples.
This riff uses 2 note chords that are called "Power Chords". If you have trouble playing both notes, you can also play this riff by only playing the notes on the "E" string.
Use only your index and middle finger to play this entire riff.
This one's a bit tricky. I suggest using your Index for the note on the "D" string, while using your pinky on the note on the "A" string. Then you will play the remaining notes on the "E" string with your ring finger and middle finger.
If it's too tough to play the way I noted above, see if you can work out a way to play this on your own.
Use your index and ring fingers to play this riff.
Use only your index, middle & ring fingers to play this riff.

Q: Using Javascript in Excel I'm currently creating an Excel workbook that runs a Monte Carlo type simulation.  The simulator code is currently in Javascript though, and porting entirely to VBA appears to be non-trivial given the team's inexperience with this language.  So, I've been able to incorporate the javascript components into a WSC file, which works well.  (Simplified example below.)
    Sub Simulate()
        Set ATPSim = GetObject("script:http://www.example.com/ATPSim.wsc")
        'Set ATPSim = GetObject("script:C:\ATPSim.wsc")
        Dim ParamOne As Integer
        ParamOne = Range("B2").Value
        Dim ParamTwo As Double
        ParamTwo = Range("B3").Value
        Dim ParamThree As Double
        ParamThree = Range("B4").Value
        Range("B1").Value = ATPSim.simulate(ParamOne, ParamTwo, ParamThree)
    End Sub

Unfortunately, this requires me to host the javascript code or rely on unsophisticated users to update the absolute path.  Is there a self-contained solution?  I'd prefer to keep everything in one .xlsm file which can be e-mailed to the users.

A: You should be able to host the JS in a COM Component and use WSH to access it.
See the example here: How can I use JavaScript within an Excel macro?

Yep…I Said it… I am proud to say that I am ahead of the game and to ensure that I stay ahead I'm giving you a peak at how I organize my tax items through the year. As a business owner, home owner, etc. making sure that you keep everything in one place is essential.
Each year I label the folder with the tax year and then I label each tab for things I need to keep up with throughout the year.
Inside of the folder I have a section for Business Receipts and my Business Spreadsheet. I have a section for charitable giving and this year I will have a section form moving. In the past I've had a section for school expenses….I highly recommend meeting with a tax specialist/accountant to discuss expenses you should track throughout the year if you itemize your taxes.
Once I have my labels made I slip one/two pocket proctors behind each tabbed section to make sure that I have a space to store the necessary documents . Also, having this folder set up early makes sure that you stick to a plan because all you have to do is place the paperwork where it goes.
I'm so excited to have the opportunity to decorate and humbled and blessed to build a house from the ground up.
Let me tell you…if you have ever moved in your life it is NO JOKE!!! Keep reading for some of the things I did to make sure this move was as fabulous as possible.
LABEL YOUR BOXES- I needed to find a document really quickly that I had packed away and labeling my boxes made it such an ease. I was able to find the item and reseal the box in a timely manner.
MAKE A MOVING FILE FOLDER- What….I am all about organization and making a folder or binder with all of your purchases during the move can help you when you go to file your taxes or need to remember when the moving truck is scheduled to arrive.
TAKE A PAUSE- Moving is not for the faint at heart. Don't forget to schedule some time for self-care to make sure you are ready for your big move.
PAY ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS- This is very important when purchasing or building a home. You need to read and re-read about warranties, attend inspection meetings, closing meetings, and ask questions…remember different loans require different demands.
to enjoy the process and….

The hardest thing about getting older is adulting and for me one of the least favorite parts of adulting is taxes...Now the organizing geek in me loves keeping records and organizing paperwork but filing taxes is another task...Here are some tips for getting ready to file your taxes.
Invest in an expandable file holder (especially if you are a business owner)...You can use it to keep separate compartments for business receipts, charity donations, etc.
Find a CPA/Accountant/Tax Preparer that you can use each year...this has been a life saver for me as a busy mom/business owner/employee/student because I have been able to build a relationship but more importantly I have come to know what my Accountant needs to be sure I am keeping track of tax deductions and changes that occur each year.

Spiders belong to the class Arachnida in the phylum Arthropoda. Although the bite of the spider is feared as much as that of venomous snakes in Sri Lanka, spider bite related deaths are not reported in this country. A 43-year-old patient presented with local swelling, pain, bleeding from puncture site and muscle cramps after a Poecilotheria subfusca (Ivory-billed ornamental or montane tiger spider) bite; and a 45-year-old patient presented with numbness, burning pain and muscle cramps after a Poecilotheria fasciata (Ceylon Hunting Spider/Ornamental Tarantula) bite. Both patients recovered completely without residual effects.

If your anything like us, a nice craft beer after a long day of wine tasting is the perfect way to end the day. And lucky for us, the Napa craft beer scene is continuously growing. The city of Napa is now home to nearly ten breweries all with a distinct style and atmosphere.
From urban nano breweries to larger brew houses like Stone Brewery, Napa has a nice mix that will have you coming back for more. In addition to the breweries, Napa houses several brew pubs where you can catch a game, enjoy an outdoor beer garden, or simply hang out and feel welcomed like a local. Or, interested in a unique beer experience? Napa has you covered there as well.
So whether your a local and needing a place to hang out or a tourist looking for something different to do, the Napa craft beer scene has you covered. Here is a look at what Napa has to offer all you craft beer lovers….
One of our favorites is the urban nano brewery St. Clair Brown Winery & Brewery. This location is unique for a few things. First, it is the only winery/brewery in Napa Valley. Second, the two female owners have interesting and impressive backgrounds. Both have extensive experience in the Napa Valley wine business, and one is the only female winemaker/master brewer in the US. And finally, the outdoor culinary garden in the middle of the industrial section of Napa makes the atmosphere unlike any other in the city. Added bonus, the rotating small batch craft beer is amazing!
The newest local Napa brewery is Trade Brewery. Trade Brewery prides itself on breaking the mold by using unique methods, ingredients, and knowledge of the trade. They aim to bring craft beer to Napa in a new way. With craft as their trade and beer as their passion, you can't go wrong with a stop by this local joint. And it's location on First St. in the heart of downtown, makes this a must do if you are staying or visiting the city.
Napa Palisades Beer Company is a more established local brewery and one that is about to get a whole lot bigger. This craft brew company currently operates the Napa Palisades Saloon at the corner of Main and First streets in downtown Napa. They serve great local craft beers featuring their own as well as many guests taps. Coming soon, the company plans to create a multi-million-dollar craft brewery, beer tasting room and beer distribution center. This new space at 807 Soscol Ave. will allow Palisades to do a lot more beers and more varieties once they have the room.
There are several places to grab a beer in Napa, but there are a few that really stand out for their great craft beer and truly Napan experience. First you have one of Napa's newest locations, Tannery Bend Beerworks. Whether you are just getting off work or need to watch a World Cup match at 7AM, this is the place to go. And while they serve a lot of their own craft beer, they also serve a lot of food. You can enjoy lunch, dinner or a lot of snacks, too.
Do you like to drink great craft beer outside? So do we, and we love to do it at the outdoor beer garden at Hop Creek Pub. Here guests can indulge in unique craft beers, a locally sourced menu and great spirits and wine all while enjoying the California sun. Overall, Hop Creek Pub aims to provide locals an experience built around a welcoming warm atmosphere.
Want to do more than just drink a pint of great Napa craft beer? The city has plenty of options for you. First, you can join Paper Napan Walkabouts to explore the city like a local. Our unique Napa walking tours are the first to feature both local craft beer and amazing Napa Valley wine. Plus, you will explore a unique side of Napa not often scene in traditional Napa Valley tours.
Second, want to learn how to make great craft beer like a pro? St. Clair Brown recently hosted their first Beer Boot Camp. Here, participants spend the day brewing a batch of beer with their Brewmaster and learn both the art of crafting world class beer and the nuances of food and beer pairing. They open their brewery up twice a year for this ultimate beer experience.
Third, want to taste great Napa craft beer and still get the up valley experience? Napa Valley Wine Train has you cover. That's right, the Wine Train has hopped on board the growing craft beer trend and partnered with Palisades Beer Company to create Napa's first Hop Train. Guests can enjoy a local craft brew, a refreshing Open Air car, and tasty bites. It's definitely a unique way to savor your way through wine country.
And finally, six of Napa's local breweries have come together to create the first Napa Beer Mile. Beer lovers can enjoy discounts at all six breweries on February 9, 2019. And for those that make it to all six, these warriors get to collect a commemorative cap to wear proudly. You can purchase tickets in advance at here or collect on the day of at St. Clair Brown.
Whether you love a great craft beer along with your world class wine, or want to please a group with mixed tastes, Napa has you covered. It is certainly a logical progression for California's premier wine destination to move into a premier craft beer destination as well. As one of America's favorite adult playgrounds, it is great to see Napa expand into a variety of amazing local libations.
Older What's a Walkabout Anyway?
Many people have asked, and we have listened. What does a walkabout mean? The answer is simple...kind of.


Photo: Damage along the New Jersey coastline from Hurricane Sandy.
In October 2012, Superstorm Sandy impacted many states along the Eastern United States, including New Jersey. With flooding, wind damage, and more, thousands of homes were damaged as a result. Homeowners were without power and other essential utilities, making their residences uninhabitable.
Having participated in the New York City Rapid Repairs program from January through May 2013, we are familiar with the particular challenges faced by the northeast in recovery from Hurricane Sandy. In July 2013, DSW Homes was accepted into the New Jersey RREM program and we expect to begin construction in Spring of 2014. We are looking forward to working with the homeowners and municipalities to rebuild New Jersey.


So 2014 was about renewal.
Renewing the mind and the spirit. Seeking and finding hope.
These first few months of the year have provided moments of all of these. Opportunities to renew the spirit, to reframe the way I approach things, to reconnect with old friends. To Rejoice in how good it has been to be married. We are blessed, indeed.
To advocate, be an advocate, to be engaged in advocacy.

Q: What's the proper place for input data validation? (Note: these two questions are similar, but more specific to ASP.Net)
Consider a typical web app with a rich client (it's Flex in my case), where you have a form, an underlying client logic that maps the form's input to a data model, some way of remoting these objects to a server logic, which usually puts it in a database.
Where should I - generally speaking - put the validation logic, i. e. ensuring correct format of email adresses, numbers etc.?

*

*As early as possible. Rich client frameworks like Flex provide built-in validator logic that lets you validate right upon form submission, even before it reaches your data model. This is nice and responsive, but if you develop something extensible and you want the validation to protect from programming mistakes of later contributors, this doesn't catch it.

*At the data model on the client side. Since this is the 'official' representation of your data and you have data types and getters / setters already there, this validation captures user errors and programming errors from people extending your system.

*Upon receiving the data on the server. This adds protection from broken or malicious clients that may join the system later. Also in a multi-client scenario, this gives you one authorative source of validation.

*Just before you store the data in the backend. This includes protection from all mistakes made anywhere in the chain (except the storing logic itself), but may require bubbling up the error all the way back.

I'm sort of leaning towards using both 2 and 4, as I'm building an application that has various points of potential extension by third parties. Using 2 in addition to 4 might seem superfluous, but I think it makes the client app behave more user friendly because it doesn't require a roundtrip to the server to see if the data is OK. What's your approach?

A: There's only a rule which is using at least some kind of server validation always (number 3/4 in your list).
Client validation (Number 2/1) makes the user experience snappier and reduces load (because you don't post to the server stuff that doesn't pass client validation).
An important thing to point out is that if you go with client validation only you're at great risk (just imagine if your client validation relies on javascript and users disable javascript on their browser).

A: Without getting too specific, I think there should validations for the following reasons:

*

*Let the user know that the input is incorrect in some way.

*Protect the system from attacks.

Letting the user know that some data is incorrect early would be friendly -- for example, an e-mail entry field may have a red background until the @ sign and a domain name is entered. Only when an e-mail address follows the format in RFC 5321/5322, the e-mail field should turn green, and perhaps put a little nice check mark to let the user know that the e-mail address looks good.
Also, letting the user know that the information provided is probably incorrect in some way would be helpful as well. For example, ask the user whether or not he or she really means to have the same recipient twice for the same e-mail message.
Then, next should be checks on the server side -- and never assume that the data that is coming through is well-formed. Perform checks to be sure that the data is sound, and beware of any attacks.
Assuming that the client will thwart SQL injections, and blindly accepting data from connections to the server can be a serious vulnerability. As mentioned, a malicious client whose sole purpose is to attack the system could easily compromise the system if the server was too trusting.
And finally, perform whatever checks to see if the data is correct, and the logic can deal with the data correctly. If there are any problems, notify the user of any problems.
I guess that being friendly and defensive is what it comes down to, from my perspective.

A: There shoudl definitely be validation on the server end. I am thinking taht the validation should be done as early as possible on the server end, so there's less chance of malicious (or incorrect) data entering the system.
Input validation on the client end is helpful, since it makes the interface snappier, but there's no guarantee that data coming in to the server has been through the client-side validation, so there MUST be validation on the server end.

A: Because of security an convenience: server side and as early as possible
But what is also important is to have some global model/business logic validation so when you have for example multiple forms with common data (for example name of the product) the validation rule should remain consistent unless the requirements says otherwise.


1 Corinthians 1:10 Now I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you be in agreement and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same purpose. 11 For it has been reported to me by Chloe's people that there are quarrels among you, my brothers and sisters. 12 What I mean is that each of you says, "I belong to Paul," or "I belong to Apollos," or "I belong to Cephas," or "I belong to Christ." 13 Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 so that no one can say that you were baptized in my name. 16 (I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized anyone else.) 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize but to proclaim the gospel, and not with eloquent wisdom, so that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of its power.
17 For Christ did not send me to baptize but to proclaim the gospel, and not with eloquent wisdom, so that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of its power.
Apparently there were divisions in the Roman church with certain factions affiliating with particular leaders of the church – Paul, Apollos, Cephas, and so on. So Paul reminds the people that he did few baptisms, but instead chose to focus on proclamation of the gospel. Other leaders were fully capable of baptizing people, but none were anointed for preaching as Paul was. And then v.17 adds what appears to be an incidental detail. Paul could easily have ended at "…but to proclaim the gospel" but he didn't. He went on describe the manner in which he proclaimed the gospel. This is the interesting part for me today.
Roman culture was heavily influenced by Greek culture and so polished rhetoric was highly valued in Rome. Practiced speakers had certain ways of turning a phrase, using sophisticated terminology, elegantly building a case for their point, trying to be as persuasive as possible to influence the thinking of the audience. Apparently Paul's speaking about Jesus didn't bother to follow these conventions. Those listening for great oratory technique would likely have been disappointed with Paul's approach.
There's nothing persuasive about describing Jesus as the son of God who… died on a cross?! What?! Gods don't die like common criminals! What an absurd idea. Frankly, as soon as Paul started talking about Jesus dying on the cross I would guess many people walked away. They just couldn't get on board with the notion that the God of the universe was willing to suffer and die for the sake of ordinary human beings. Even today that's a difficult idea for many people. It's only by the prompting of the Holy Spirit at work in us that we can believe this ourselves. Faith is a gift of grace, like everything else in the Kingdom of God.
The cross has not lost its power, even today. The message of Jesus isn't dependent on the skill of the speaker, but on the power of the Spirit to do a work in the hearer. That's an important thing for us to remember when we're feeling insecure about our ability to proclaim the good news of Jesus in word and/or deed. The effectiveness of the message was not dependent on Paul, nor is it dependent on you and me. If we will open our mouths and give witness to Jesus, however awkwardly, the Spirit will do its job. As Holy Week is underway, knowing I'll be preaching several times this week, this is good word for me.
Lord give me grace to trust the cross and the power of the Spirit to do its work. Amen.


This feature documentary takes the audience on a disturbing journey deep into a culture that few can comprehend — that of suicide bombers. Filmmaker Pierre Rehov examines the phenomenon of suicide bombers through rare and never-before-seen interviews with actual family members of terrorists, the prisoners whose bombing attempts have been thwarted, and exclusive footage of a terror bomber as he prepares for mission! This film provides a message of urgency for increasing our understanding of the psychopathological dynamics of these terrorist bombers. We finally gain insight to how these human bombs 'tick'.

Express to Hollywood. Victor McLaglen. 1934.
Sorry have been off the air for 3 days while I completed the complicated process of turning this blog into a website. Please note it's now called www.bookride.com. The name has no real meaning, it was just available at the time, but it seems curiously suitable with its suggestions of horseracing, being taken for a ride, bookies, punters, touts and a merry adventure. Buying books is a bit of a punt and I am here to point out the favourites and the starting prices, the winners, the losers and the outsiders. Can't stretch the metaphor much further...today's hot tip is howling rare - Jarrolds was an interesting publisher.
Victor McLaglen. EXPRESS TO HOLLYWOOD. Jarrolds, London, 1934.
Current Selling Prices
$600-$800? /£300-£400? Want level 25-50 Highish
MOVIES / BOXING / AUTOBIOGRAPHY
Autobiography by Hollywood hard man and ex boxer recalling his wildly adventurous career prior to entering the movies. McLaglen was born in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England. His father, a bishop, moved the family to South Africa when McLaglen was a child. He left home at fourteen to join the army with the intention of fighting in the Second Boer War. However much to his chagrin, he was stationed at Windsor Castle and was later forced to leave the army when his true age was discovered. From 1904 - 1920 he was a boxer and in 1918 McLaglen won the Heavyweight Championship of the British Army. The Wikiman says of this unfindable book "His tale of the road, his odyssey from his native England through Canada and the western United States, details his long-held desire to be a professional prizefighter, climaxing in a no-decision fight with world heavyweight champion Jack Johnson. McLaglen supplements his story with vignettes of life as a farmer, gold and silver prospector, wrestler, policeman, soldier, vaudeville performer, miner, pearl fisher, big-game hunter, and sign-painter. In all likelihood the only Academy Award-winning actor ever, past or future, also to be Assistant Provost Marshal of the city of Baghdad, McLaglen writes a story that reads as though Jack London had written it. He writes with candor and humility, and with style. It is am immensely enjoyable book, and the fact that McLaglen was at the time of its writing only beginning to achieve the fame and popularity that would maintain his career nearly another three decades is both astonishing and a bit disappointing: it would have been wonderful to read his accounts of the next quarter century...." Of course he went on to make "The Informer," "The Quiet Man," and "What Price Glory?". Book is wanted by movie buffs and boxing collectors. I have trod on his name on Hollywood Boulevard where, as Ray Davies has it, his name "is written in concrete."
VALUE? 18 years ago someone paid $120 for a signed photo at Darvick , there is a BIN for an insubstantial clipped note at ebay $250. He wasn't John Wain, who can go very high indeed, but for some reason hard guy's signatures are often pricy.
No record of the book anywhere. Unknown to science. Jarrolds books tended to have funky colourful jackets so it would look good and could be worth a few hundred of your British pounds. Sans jacket still very good, people want to read it.
i have just bought a signed by Victor Mclaglen first edition of express to hollywood, with a personal enscription.. Does anyone know how many were published??
kevin_634@msn.com
This is a rare book and there are no copies currently for sale. Jarrolds is not a major publisher but I doubt if the print run was remarkably small-- Hollywood was a good subject then as now. Possibly the secret is only known in the files at Jarrolds.
I've been searching for this book for over a year now. Damn, it's frustruating not to be able to find it!
I have a copy which I would consider selling for the right price. Contact me on prmetca@surfanytime and I will send you full details and perhaps you can make me an offer.

Yes, Peter the address does not work.

My great uncle, Clark Nairn, was a sargeant in the Black Watch during WWII. He and Victor were big buddies. Is there any mention of Clark in his book Express to Hollywood. I´d love to find out. Cheers.
Hi White Dog,
My name is Jay Glennie and I am working on a project, with the permission of AMPAS., chronicling British Academy Award awardees. I have interviewed two hundred, with many more to follow and built up the definitive record of British success at the Oscars. In the 2010 I launch the project via the internet, with a book of my interview at the beginning of 2011
I would dearly love to learn more of the life and career of Victor McLaglen and read with interest that you are his great nephew and that you have some photographs. Would it be at all possible if I could use any photographs for the project?
Happy to supply any further details.

REMARKS ON THE PM ANALYSIS
The dead body was said to be in advanced putrefactive stage. As such PM analysis commonly done in India as in this case is hardly of any use for investigation of a case of suspected murder. The following remarks are meant to be a rejoinder to the invalid conclusion derived from the PM analysis which appears to be tailor made for the police to hush up the case.
The PM Report
The copy of the PM Report received by me is hand written in illegible hand writing. The following remarks are based on the typed copy of the original hand written PM report, prepared at Central Information Commission with the help of Dr. Anil Shandil who wrote the origina PM report, duly attested by Dr. Shandil and countersigned by the Chief Information Commissioner Shri Wajahat Habibulla on 26/02/2008.
Brief History in the PM Report recorded the statement "the deceased along with his friends Engineering College ki pas nahar me naha raha tha, jo doob gaya tha" was not an established fact, rather a matter for investigation. It also included a description of the dead body in which the statement "jis ki bal wo ger huye the" was definitely not true [see �4 para 1(b)(ii)].
The General Description of the body in the PM Report has the following differences with our observations.
The PM Report says "the body in advanced putrefactive stage, foul smelling, peeling of skin ". But as we saw, except for the face, greater part of the body - the torso, hands and legs were well preserved and did not suffer any degeneration or peeling of skin. Except during the time when we were taking the body from the mortuary to the crematorium after post mortem sitting very close to the body we never got any smell of decomposition.
The PM Report says "No scalp & axillary hair." But, as we saw, some of his long scalp hairs well attached to the body were present on the back side. In fact, the Investigating Officer [I/O], ASI Babulal asked the attendant to turn the head to show us these hairs and pull some of these with the help of a tong to enable us to assess that the length of the hairs matched with those of my son.
The PM Report says "scalp detached either side exposing the frontal and parietal area of skull." But as we saw, the scalp was more or less intact since no part of the skull was visible.
As we saw, the body looked rigid/stiff but there was no rigidity associated with the neck. The two hands were rigidly fixed close to but raised above the chest with the right arm substantially higher up at an angle of about 45 degrees and the the right palm fully stretched and erect. The PM Report does not mention this unusual feature which we have never seen in any other corpse.
As we saw, the jaws of the deceased were pressed against each other with a portion of the tongue protruding from the right side. The PM Report does not mention this.
As we saw, there was a gaping site on the chest appearing like a wound. The chest was enlarged. PM report does not mention these.
The PM Report is almost wholly non-informative with phrases like "highly decomposed" and "advanced stage of putrefaction" occurring everywhere. The only point of any significance is "blackish mud seen" in Trachea and c/s of lungs. But this is dubious for it is not possible to say that a substance is mud merely by looking at it especially within organs which were said to be highly decomposed. Since the deceased did not know swimming he would not only inhale water but swallow water also. Why then no blackish mud seen in the stomach and the bowel? In fact, as per the PM Report the stomach was empty.
About External Injuries PM Report only says "Advanced stage of decomposition" which clearly does not rule out such injuries. In fact, our observation in �4 para (b)(iv)–(vi) indicate that the deceased possibly experienced some violent act before his death.
The statement in the PM report "stomach–empty" is apparently discrepant with the fact that the deceased had a lunch of chhola-kulcha only about two hours before he reportedly died.
It is well-known that scalp hairs are useful for testng for drugs. Although some scalp hairs were definitely there, the PM report denies the presence of these [see �4 para (b)(ii)] and no sample of these was preseved and handed over to Police for CFSL examination.
The underwear which was the only clothing on the dead body was not handed over to the Police for CFSL examination, contrary to normal practice.
The FSL Report
The following remarks are based on what was received by me.
"Blood & Viscera samples are preserved in saline solution which prevents these from rotting for 45 days" [see under frontpage headline "Death cases go cold in forgotten viscera samples" in Hindustan Times, 16th October, 2006]. In the present case as per FSL report this was sent by the I/O to FSL after 65 days and thereafter, it was lying there for another two and a half months. This was so in addition to the fact that as per the PM report, all the organs from which the samples were taken were already in advanced stage of putrefaction. As such the samples tested were invalid.
The FSL Report mentions presence of ethyl alcohol only and nothing else.
The presence of ethyl alcohol in all the exhibits of viscera and the suspiciously high value of 552 mg/dl for exhibit '1C' [blood sample] is spurious since the samples tested were invalid [see para 2(a)].
The Subsequent Opinion
The statement "the dead body was found drowned in the canal" is unwarranted as it is not based on actual observation and does not constitute an opinion.
The conclusion that "the cause of death is asphyxia as a result of antemortem drowning" is fallacious for the following reasons.
It is clear that this is solely based on the assertion "blackish mud seen in trachea and c/s of lungs" [in the PM report], which is dubious [see �4 para 1(c)].
No sample of the so called blackish mud was preserved and matched by chemical analysis with the contaminants of the canal water near the site where the deceased reportedly drowned.
Presence of mud in the trachea and lungs is not a definite proof of antemortem drowning. For water/mud can enter the airways and the lungs even after death. [(1) Medical Jurisprudence by A.S. Taylor, page 551; (2) Principles of Forensic Medicine by W.A. Guy, page 235; (3) A Treatise on Medical Jurisprudence by F. Wharton and M. Stille, § 933 page 768]
That the stomach was empty and no blackish mud seen in the stomach or the bowel indicate either sudden death or death before submersion [Bodies in Water by D.J. Pounder, Lecture notes, Department of Forensic Medicine, University of Dundee, para 13 of summary].
The conclusion that "alcohol presence in the blood shows intake of alcohol prior to death" is also fallacious for the following reasons.
It is solely based on the assertion "Exhibit '1C' was found to contain 'ethyl alcohol' 552 mg per 100 ml of bood." which is spurious [see �4 para 2(c)].
As per the PM report the body was in an advanced putrefactive stage and it is well known that endogenous producion of ethanol [ethyl alcohol] in the body starts soon after death by the action of microbes on the dead body.
No sample of vitreus humur from the eye or urine from the bladder [which are usually unaffected by the microbes] were available for measurement of vitreus humur alcohol or urine alcohol to corroborate intake of alcohol prior to death. Hence presence of alcohol in post mortem blood do not corroborate intake of alcohol pror to death (see, for example, "Dead Sober or Dead Drunk?" [Editorial, Saturday 10th January, 1998] British Medical Journal no. 7125, vol. 316).

In a world where fees of $5,000 to $7,500 are the norm, a 23-year-old unpublished creative writing student at UC Irvine has sold his first novel for $155,000. William Morrow & Co. paid that highly unusual, if not unprecedented, sum for hardcover rights to Michael Chabon's "The Mysteries of Pittsburgh."
"I believe it's the most that an unpublished first literary novel ever sold for," Chabon's agent, Mary Evans at the Virginia Barber Literary Agency in New York said, making a distinction between literary and commercial.
The agency believes "The Mysteries of Pittsburgh" is both literary and commercial, Evans said, predicting it would be sold all over the world. As early evidence, she said, after an overnight reading, an editor at the Italian house of Mondadori called on the morning of the American auction and bought the Italian rights. Movie rights are being auctioned now, and paperback rights are expected to be auctioned by Morrow, she said.
"The Mysteries of Pittsburgh" is a rites-of-passage account of one summer in the life of Art Bechstein, during which he deals with his gangster father; his friend and guide to the exotic side of Pittsburgh, Arthur; girlfriend for all seasons, Phlox; and a character named Cleveland.
"It is a good chunk of money but I could not put it in any context in terms of superlatives. Other people who have never written fiction before have probably done better," Applebaum said.
"It's the kind of thing where it certainly is a handsome amount of money but in these days of six-figure advances and sometimes even seven-figure advances, it is unlikely to raise an eyebrow in the jaded New York publishing community," Applebaum continued. "It is what is between the covers that the consumer cares about and that is yet to be demonstrated."
Meanwhile, at Morrow, president Sherry Arden had no fears about the consumers, predicting, "the public will be excited to read this.
"It's a sensational first novel by this 23-year-old man who has hundreds of years of writing ahead of him. . . . This is a beautiful writer. We're all in business to sniff out this kind of talent. He is, in our opinion, a major writing talent. We were just determined to get this book."

Packers Could Be In On Khalil Mack
Joseph Bonham August 28, 2018
The questions keep coming. It appears Oakland Raiders edge rusher Khalil Mack is now available.
Four teams are said to be making serious inquiries about the 2016 defensive player of the year. Are the Green Bay Packers one of them?
That was posed to general manager Brian Gutekunst. While he can't mention a player by name as long as he's on another team, Gutekunst isn't doing anything to quiet the speculation.
"When you're talking about unique players, there's only so many of them out there," he said. "At the same time, the financial challenges may be difficult, but without players you can't win. It's like any significant player, they're not inexpensive, but you have to have them to win."
The Packers seemingly have the ability to acquire Mack. They have two 2019 first-round picks.
They have the need. Clay Matthews and Nick Perry have long injury histories. Matthews is also in the final year of his contract.
Then the question of the contract comes into play. When Mack is given a new deal, it's expected to be around $20 million per season. With the Packers also looking to extend Aaron Rodgers, there would be a lot committed to just two players.
Gutekunst's response seems to suggest he thinks the Packers could make it work.
On the plus side, the team has plenty of money coming off the books after the season. Both Matthews and receiver Randall Cobb have big-money deals that will be expiring.
Gutekunst obviously isn't resistant to making a trade. He flipped cornerback Lenzy Pipkins for linebacker Antonio Morrison earlier this week.
"Again, if I think it can significantly help us this year, I'm open to anything, whether it's player for player, or player for pick," Gutekunst said.
I would say Khalil Mack fits into the category of a guy that can help the Packers this year.

Brett Hundley Is Out, Flipped For Draft Pick
PF4L August 28, 2018
If Mack holds out, then the Raiders would probably entertain offers. For Mack to hold out though, he has to be seriously pissed, he'll lose 815K every game he misses. But in the big picture he'll make that cash up in a new deal.
Personally, i would offer one 1st round pick and Cobb. If i had to, i'd offer the 2nd one also. You could trade Mathews instead of Cobb which the Raiders might prefer, but i'd rather have Mack and Perry on the outside, and Blake and Mathews on the inside. There is a lot they could do scheme wise in that situation.
Taking this almost absurd fantasy to another level. If Wilkerson could return to his form back when he got paid (i have my doubts), then there you have it, a top 10 defense.
Ferris August 29, 2018
Throwing in Cobb is like tossing in scotch guard on a sofa purchase. Most people don't see any value especially with that contract number even if it's short term. It will cost them multiple picks to get him. Maybe 2 one's.
Since GB got the Saints 1 for basically nothing, and the whole league knows it.
Hence, why i said i'd throw in a 2nd #1 if i had to.
It's obvious that Gutenkunst thinks Cobb has value. Maybe someone else will also. The Raiders aren't exactly known for sound football decisions.
Pigskin-Head August 28, 2018
It's hard to see a team giving up a 1st round pick for a malcontent, no matter how talented–every player is one injury away from the end of the season/career. Supposedly the Raiders want TWO 1st-rounders? I don't see it happening. Maybe a couple second rounders plus some sweetener? Just to put it in perspective, Hall of Famer Richard Dent was drafted in the 8th round….Kurt Warner went undrafted. Tony Romo wasn't exactly a top pick, either. Are the Packers really that interested, or just trying to bait the Bears into overspending draft picks in a trade?
He's worth 2 1st round picks all day long. This dude can change a defense and he's young. Think Reggie.
I don't think he's a malcontent, he felt disrespected and i don't disagree with him.. I have no problem with this dude, he's a beast.
Cheese August 29, 2018
Just because someone is a first round pick doesn't mean that they are going to be worth anything. I don't need to go over the endless examples of first round busts. Mack is a guaranteed superstar, and I would trade Derek Sherrod and Datone Jones for him any day of the week. Or should I say Bj Raji and Justin Harrell? Or how about Damarious Randall and Haha Quittin-Dix?
MM²SUCK August 29, 2018
The acquisition of Mack would be an awesome upgrade, but a few possibilities may still remain . . . Most "holdouts" seem to get injured shortly after their return to play, and or do not play up to their "usual" game after they come back from a holdout. If Mack can avoid these two possibilities, this could be epic for Packer fans.
Just read where Detroit got rid of DE Ayers that they had just signed one day before . . . Could be that Mack actually will play in Detroit?
In other news…it's been reported that Hundley was traded to Seattle a for a 2019 8th round draft pick, plus 2 boxes of Hostess Twinkies. This trade almost didn't materialize because the Packers were reluctant to include the twinkies in this trade, but John Schneider insisted.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott has called a leadership ballot for tonight, and says he is confident of beating challenger Malcolm Turnbull.
In an extraordinary move, Mr Turnbull this afternoon announced plans to contest the Liberal leadership.
His supporters believe he has the numbers to win, and he has secured the backing of deputy Liberal leader Julie Bishop, which is considered crucial.
The ABC understands Ms Bishop is officially Mr Turnbull's running mate and if Tony Abbott is victorious she will not serve under him.
Social Services Minister and self-confessed leadership aspirant Scott Morrison confirmed through his office that he is sticking with Mr Abbott.
One senior Liberal, and Abbott supporter, said the crucial bloc of votes directed by Mr Morrison could still decide the outcome.
The Government is in a state of turmoil as both camps count the numbers.
It is understood Ms Bishop met the Prime Minister before Question Time to tell him he had lost significant support from the ministry.
After Question Time, Mr Turnbull quit Cabinet and told Mr Abbott he would challenge for the leadership, before calling a snap media conference.
Follow all the developments in our live blog.
"A little while ago, I met with the Prime Minister and advised him that I would be challenging him for the leadership of the Liberal Party," Mr Turnbull said.
"Now this is not a decision that anyone could take lightly. I have consulted with many, many colleagues, many Australians, many of our supporters in every walk of life."
Mr Turnbull said he had been under sustained pressure to put his name forward.
"This course of action has been urged on me by many people over a long period of time," he said.
"It is clear enough that the Government is not successful in providing the economic leadership that we need. It is not the fault of individual ministers.
"Ultimately, the Prime Minister has not been capable of providing the economic leadership our nation needs. He has not been capable of providing the economic confidence that business needs.
"Now we are living as Australians in the most exciting time. The big economic changes that we're living through here and around the world offer enormous challenges and enormous opportunities."
Mr Abbott responded defiantly, calling a media conference to confirm he would contest the leadership ballot.
"The Prime Ministership of this country is not a prize or a plaything to be demanded. It should be something which is earned by a vote of the Australian people," he said.
"I will be a candidate and I expect to win."
Mr Abbott said there was strong support for him to stay on.
"I have been heartened by the messages of support flooding into Liberal MPs' offices this evening saying most emphatically, 'we are not the Labor Party'.
"This country needs strong and stable government and that means avoiding, at all costs, Labor's revolving-door prime ministership."
Mr Abbott also highlighted his achievements at the helm.
"Since coming to Government, our team has stopped the boats, improved the budget, cut taxes and increased jobs," he said.
"We have laid the foundation for a better deal for families and for small business. You can trust me to deliver a stronger economy and a safer community.
"Obviously, I am dismayed by the destabilisation that's been taking place now for many, many months and I do say to my fellow Liberals that the destabilisation just has to stop.
"I firmly believe that our party is better than this, that our Government is better than this and, by God, that our country is so much better than this."
Mr Turnbull identified the Prime Minister's approach to the job as a main concern.
"We need a different style of leadership," he said.
"We need a style of leadership that explains those challenges and opportunities, explains the challenges and how to seize the opportunities.
"A style of leadership that respects the people's intelligence, that explains these complex issues and then sets out the course of action we believe we should take and makes a case for it.
Watch or read the full transcript as Malcolm Turnbull announces he is launching a challenge to Tony Abbott's leadership.
"We need advocacy, not slogans. We need to respect the intelligence of the Australian people.
"The only way we can ensure that we remain a high wage, generous social welfare net, first world society is if we have outstanding economic leadership, if we have strong business confidence.
"That is what we in the Liberal Party are bound to deliver and it's what I am committed to deliver if the party room gives me their support as leader of the party.
Just hours earlier, Mr Abbott dismissed leadership speculation during a media event in South Australia.
"I just am not going to get caught up in Canberra gossip, I'm not going to play Canberra games," he said.
"I know that sometimes the media particularly like to play the Canberra game, but I'm not going to get involved with it.
"I'm just not going to chase all of these rabbits down all of the burrows that you are inviting me to go down, I'm just not going to play the Canberra games."
A number of senior ministers had foreshadowed the likelihood of a leadership challenge before the end of the year.
"And this time I think they will get him," one minister said.
Mr Turnbull was opposition leader before he was unseated by Mr Abbott.
Mr Turnbull has acknowledged the timing of his announcement is "far from ideal".
The Canning by-election will be held this Saturday, after the death of popular Liberal MP Don Randall.
"But regrettably, there are few occasions that are entirely ideal for tough calls and tough decisions like this," Mr Turnbull said.
"The alternative if we were to wait and this issue, these problems were to roll on and on and on is we will get no clear air.
"We have to make a change for our country's sake, for the Government's sake, for the party's sake.
"From a practical point of view a change of leadership would improve our prospects in Canning, although I'm very confident with the outstanding candidate we have that we will be successful."
