Overview of the scenario
In this series, we'll use a sample scenario to show how Business Events works. The scenario requires identifying and appropriately responding to patterns of events over time. We'll use simplified version of a regulation compliance use case from the financial industry, in which we need to detect speculative action in a trade system. For more information on the scenario, see Part 1.
To demonstrate the integration of Business Events with other IBM products, which we'll cover in future articles in this series, the sample implementation generates three types of actions. The scenario only requires the SpeculativeCustomer action to be reported. However, we'll generate the intermediate actions, too, for the purpose of illustration and to help with the integration.
- Part 2 of this series assumes that you've read Part 1, and are familiar with the core concepts of Business Events described in that article.
- The steps in this article were executed in a Windows® environment.
Overview of the process
To build the application to implement the scenario, you'll use the WebSphere Business Events Design Data tool to complete the steps below. These steps would normally be done by an IT specialist.
- Define the business systems, called touchpoints, that are to be integrated. A touchpoint is a group of related event and action definitions.
- In the touchpoints, define the activities that initiate a cross-system process (events) and the activities (actions) that are performed when the event patterns are identified. For example, three Sell events by a customer after Buy events within a day for the same customer and stock, result in a SpeculativeCustomer action.
- Create a business object layer, called intermediate objects, which serves as a placeholder for data used in event evaluation. All data going into and out of the run-time system goes through intermediate objects. For example, a Customer intermediate object may contain fields (Name, Address, State, and so on) whose values are obtained from event and may also contain contact information (Last Order Date, Email Address) whose values are obtained from a database table.
Next, you'll use the Business Events Design tool to retrieve the definitions created in the previous steps and use them to define the business logic. A business analyst typically completes these steps.
- Define interaction sets (a collection of interaction blocks containing business logic) used at run-time by the Business Events run-time server to detect, correlate, and respond to simple and complex event patterns.
- Define filters used to specify under what conditions an interaction block is true.
Note: Definitions for all Business Events components are stored in the same repository, providing a completely integrated environment. When the Business Events run-time server starts, it retrieves the most current set of definitions from the repository and compiles the interaction sets, which evaluate incoming events and generate associated actions.
Build the application
This section describes the steps you need to complete to build the Business Events application using Design Data tool. You'll describe the events and the resulting actions, as well as define the intermediate objects.
You'll complete the following steps:
- Define a touchpoint.
- Define events and one event object.
- Create actions and one action object.
- Create an event that is generated as a result of an action.
- Define one intermediate object.
- Define the mapping between intermediate object fields and event fields.
- Define the mapping between action fields and intermediate objects.
Step 1: Define a touchpoint
To define a touchpoint, do the following:
- Start the Design Data tool by selecting Start => All Programs => IBM WebSphere Business Events 6.1 => Design Data.
- Expand the Touchpoints pane on the left . (You can collapse the others to save space.) Right-click in the left pane and select Insert Touchpoint.
- Specify the
Trade Systemas the name.
Step 2: Define events
To define events, do the following:
- Right-click the new touchpoint and select Insert Event => Normal.
- Specify
Buyas the name.
- Right-click the event and select Insert Event Object => Blank.
- Specify
TradeObjectas the name.
- Right-click the event object and select Insert Event Object Field. The Insert Field dialog opens. You'll use this dialog to insert fields into event objects, action objects and intermediate objects.
- Specify
CustomerIDas the name and select String as the data type, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Insert a field in an event object
- Repeat step 6 to add the following fields:
StockIDwith a type of String
Datewith a type of DateTime
Quantitywith a type of Real
Pricewith a type Real
- Create another new event, this time called
- Right-click Sell and select Insert Event Object => Shared, then select TradeObject.
The same event object is shared by the Buy and Sell events.
Step 3: Create the actions
To create the actions, complete the following steps:
- Right-click the Trade System touchpoint and select Insert Action => Normal.
- Specify
Buy Ackas the name.
- Right-click the new action and select Insert Action Object => Blank.
- Specify
TradeOutas the name.
- Right-click the TradeOut action object and select Insert Action Object Field.
- In the Insert Field dialog, shown in Figure 1,
CustomerIDas the name and select String as the data type. Repeat this for the following field names and types:
StockIDwith a type of String
Keywith a type of String
Datewith a type of DateTime
Quantitywith a type of Real
Pricewith a type of Real
Note: Business Events requires that every event defined must trigger an action via an interaction set. The Buy Ack action you just created meets this requirement for the Buy event. Later, you'll define an interaction set, which will illustrate the simplest policy of an event generating an action without a filter or a delay.
In Figure 2, you see the Design Data tool, showing some details of the created action Buy Ack, including its action object TradeOut and the action object's member fields, such as CustomerID, on the right.
Figure 2. Action and action object
- Create a new action called SellAfterBuy by repeating the process above.
- Right-click the new SellAfterBuy action and select Insert Action Object => Shared, then select TradeOut.
- Repeat steps 1 and 8 to create the action Speculative Customer, which also uses the shared action object TradeOut.
Step 4: Create an event
Next, we'll create a synthetic event, which will enable Business Events to notice repeated occurrences of SellAfterBuy and send a SpeculativeCustomer action. To do this complete the following steps:
- Create a normal event called SellAfterBuySynEvent.
- Right-click the event and select Insert Action => To Fire This Event Synthetically. Accept the warning message that displays. The event is now renamed SellAfterBuySynEvent <- SellAfterBuySynEvent, and a new SellAfterBuySynEvent action is automatically created.
- Right-click SellAfterBuySynEvent and select Rename.
Rename the event
SellAfterBuySynAction. It is a good practice to avoid having the suffix Event in an action name. Renaming the action will cause the synthetic event to be renamed to SellAfterBuySynEvent <- SellAfterBuySynAction.
Step 5: Define an intermediate object
The next step is to define the intermediate object. The sample application uses a single intermediate object. To define the intermediate object, do the following:
- Expand the Intermediate Objects pane of the Design Data tool, then right-click in the pane and select Insert Intermediate Object => Blank.
- Specify
TradeObjectas the name.
- Right-click the new object and select Insert Intermediate Object
Field. In the Insert Field dialog, specify
CustomerIDas the name and select String as the data type. Repeat this for the following field names and types:
StockIDwith a type of String
Datewith a type of DateTime
Quantitywith a type of Real
Pricewith a type of Real
Keywith a type of String
- Drag and drop the intermediate object TradeObject from the Intermediate Objects section onto the SellAfterBuySynEvent <- SellAfterBuySynAction event.
- Drag and drop TradeObject from the Intermediate Objects section
onto the SellAfterBuySynAction action. Figure 3 shows the
details of the created synthetic event and synthetic action.
Figure 3. A synthetic event
Step 6: Define mapping from event objects to intermediate objects
Next you need to specify how each of the event object fields is mapped to the intermediate object fields. This mapping is needed for all events, including the derived events. Most of the fields are filled in directly from the attributes of the Buy and Sell events. The Key field of the intermediate object is computed using a JavaScript™.
You can do the mapping using drag and drop actions from the source to the target. However, we'll describe here how to do the mapping with explicit selections:
- Expand the Buy event tree node, right-click on
TradeObject and select Insert Field Constructor From Object
=> Trade Object => Customer ID, as shown in
Figure 4.
Figure 4. Add field constructors for the intermediate object
- Repeat the previous step to insert field constructors for StockID,
Date, Price and Quantity. Don't map the
Key field. This specifies the fields of the intermediate object
that are built from the event fields.
Note: The tool shows you in square brackets the intermediate objects that are created for each event, as shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5. Intermediate objects and the fields created from events
- On the right side of the Touchpoints view, expand Buy => TradeObject => CustomerID and select Field in the Definition section of the editor.
- Click Insert object field and select CustomerID from the
list of event fields, as shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6. Set intermediate object field from event field
- Repeat the last two steps to insert the corresponding fields in
Date, Price, Quantity and StockID.
This specifies all the fields of the intermediate object that are
constructed from event fields.
Note: In this example, the names of the fields are the same for the event object and the intermediate object, but they don't have to be.
Because the Buy and Sell events share an event object, both Buy and Sell events result in the creation of a TradeObject intermediate object, as shown in Figure 7:
Figure 7. Multiple events create the same intermediate object
- Define the Key field using a JavaScript expression as follows:
- Expand the Key field in the Intermediate Objects pane.
- In the Definition section, select JavaScript as
the Type and enter the expression
CustomerID +""+StockID, as shown in Figure 8:
Figure 8. Define the Key field in JavaScript
Note: The Design Data tool doesn't validate JavaScript expressions. Therefore, you need to make sure that the expression you enter is a valid JavaScript expression. A JavaScript test tool is available at http://localhost:9080/wbe/tools/test_javascript.html. You can use this tool to help validate your JavaScript.
Step 7: Define mapping from intermediate objects to actions
Next, you need to define how the actions are constructed from intermediate objects and the mapping from the intermediate object fields to the action fields.
- In the Touchpoints pane, select Buy Ack => TradeOut.
- On the right, expand StockID, as shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9. Map action object fields
- In the Definition section of the action, select Field as the Type, select Insert object field , and select TradeObject.StockID for the list of fields.
- Repeat the previous step for CustomerID, Key, Date, Quantity and Price. For each of these add the associated intermediate object field prefixed with TradeObject.
- Save the project by selecting File => Save Project. Name
the project
Trading.xmland exit the Design Data tool.
Note: Make sure you save the Design Data definitions and close Design Data before you open the Design tool to define the business logic.
Define the business logic
This section describes the steps you need to complete to define the business logic using the Design tool. These steps are normally completed by a business analyst.
- Open the Trading.xml file.
- Create two filters.
- Define three interaction sets.
Note: Since the Design Data tool and the Design tool use the same file, it's a good practice to close one tool before opening the other.
Step 1: Start the Design tool and open Trading.xml
To get started, do the following:
- Select Start => All Programs => WebSphere Business Events v6.1 => Design to start the Design tool.
- Open the project by selecting, File => Open and specify
Trading.xml. The objects you defined in the Design Data tool are shown, but you can't modify them.
Step 2: Create an After Buy filter
The first filter you need to create is an After Buy filter that checks whether the event it is applied to occurs within an hour of a Buy event. You'll apply this filter to a Sell event. To create the After Buy filter, do the following:
- Click the Filter button on the toolbar (or select Create => Filter from the menu). This creates a filter template in the editor.
- Specify
After Buy Filteras the name and then select operator?. A list of available operators is shown. From the ContextOperator folder select Follows Within, as shown in Figure 10.
Figure 10. Create the first filter
The filter template is updated to show the selected operator and its arguments.
- Next, click the first operand?, then choose Select an event.
- A list of the events defined in the project displays, as shown in
Figure 11. Select Buy.
Figure 11. Select the event argument for the stream function
- Click the second operand? (after Within), (see Figure 11), and select Enter text.
- In the resulting dialog, specify
1for the day and click OK.
At this stage, the filter should look like Figure 12.
Figure 12. After Buy filter
The filter you just created will be used by the Sell After Buy interaction set (which you'll define shortly) that will identify when a Sell event has occurred after a Buy event for the same stock and customer.
This simple and readable filter will work well enough. The only problem with it is the pairing of events. For example, let's say one Buy event is followed by three Sells, all for the same customer and stock and in the same day. With the filter as it's defined now, all three Sell events will pass the After Buy Filter, resulting in three SellAfterBuy actions being generated. However, what you really want is to have only one such situation being detected for each pair of buy and sell events.
To achieve this, you need to further refine the filter. You'll add a condition that says an event passes the filter if it follows a Buy within a day and there was a Buy event after the last SellAfterBuy action. The second and third Sell events in the sequence described above would then fail the filter, which is what you want. To add this condition to the filter, do the following:
- Click the filter icon on the second line and select Add a filter
condition, as shown in Figure 13.
Figure 13. Add a filter condition
A new template condition is added with an AND operator connecting the two.
- Now you need to fill in the arguments for the second filter condition.
Click the icon next to the first operand? and choose Select
a Predefined Function, then select ContextFunction
=> Event or Action Occurs, as shown in Figure 14.
Figure 14. Select Event or Action Occurs
- The filter changes to show the Occurrences of function. Click the operand? for Occurrences Of, then choose Select an event , then SellAfterBuy.
- Click operator? and from the list of NumericOperators
select Is, as shown in Figure 15.
Figure 15. Select the numeric operator
- Click the remaining operand?, select Enter Text and
0. The filter should now look like Figure 16.
Figure 16. The After Buy filter with the first branch condition
Note the different symbols in the filter definition for events and for actions .
The filter is nearly complete. It will return true for an event when:
- The event follows a Buy event within a day.
- There have been no SellAfterBuy actions.
To pair the Buy and Sell events, you need to add another condition to the filter that checks that the last Buy event has happened after the last SellAfterBuy action. This ensures that one Buy is not paired with multiple Sell events, which would cause repeated SellAfterBuy actions. To add this condition, complete the following steps:
- Click the second condition of the filter (the icon to the right of the
first bracket, as shown in Figure 17), and select Branch this
filter condition.
Figure 17. Branch a filter condition
- In the resulting branch, select And and replace it with
Or, as shown in Figure 18.
Figure 18. Modify the boolean operator linking the filter conditions
- Click the symbol after the first operand?, choose Select a
predefined function, and select DateTimeFunction, then
Last Occurrence Of. as shown in Figure 19.
Figure 19. Select a DateTime function
- Click operand? and choose Select an Event, and select Buy.
- Click the first of the two remaining operator? fields, and select is After DateTime from the resulting list.
- Click the last remaining operand?, choose Select a Predefined Function, and select Last Occurrence Of.
- Choose Select an action and select SellAfterBuy. Figure
20 shows the final filter:
Figure 20. After Buy filter - complete definition
Step 3: Create a Speculative Customer filter
Now you need to create a Speculative Customer filter. This filter will evaluate to true for every third occurrence of the SellAfterBuySynEvent within a day.
The completed filter uses the Occurrences of This Event Within function. This function does not count the current instance of the event. Therefore, for the third occurrence of this event, the number of previous occurrences is two. You'll need to add one to compensate for this behavior.
To make the filter true for every third event, we'll use the fact that the result of the function is an integer and we can use the Business Events integer division functions div and mod. For example, for a number n: (n div 3 ) X 3 = n if and only if n is a multiple of 3.
The filter evaluates to true if and only if number of total occurrences (including the current one) is a multiple of 3. Figure 21 shows what the completed filter will look like:
Figure 21. Speculative Customer filter
To create the Speculative Customer filter, do the following:
- Click the Filter button in the toolbox, and enter
Speculative Customeras the name in the template.
- First we'll build the right part of the filter, starting from operator
- Click operator? and select NumericOperator =>Is. Then Click the icon to the right of the second operand? and choose Select a Predefined Function => NumericFunction => Plus.
- Click the icon to the right of the last operand?,
select Enter text, then enter
- Click the icon to the right of the operand? before Plus and choose Select a Predefined Function => ContextFunction => This Event Occurs Within.
- Complete the operand by clicking the icon next to
operand? and selecting Enter text, then enter
1 for day. The filter show now look like Figure 22.
Figure 22. Speculative Customer filter - partially completed
- For the left side of a filter, we'll use a similar approach. We'll
build this part of the filter from right to left: select a predefined
function from the menu for the operand, fill in the right side operand
by entering text and repeat the process for the left side operand
until the filter is complete, as follows:
- Click the icon to the right of operand? and choose Select a Predefined Function => NumericFunction => multiplied By.
- Click the right operand?, select Enter text and
- Click the icon next to the left operand? and select Select a Predefined Function => NumericFunction => Divided by.
- Click the left operand?, select Enter text and
- Click the icon next to the left operand?, then select Select a Predefined Function => NumericFunction => Plus.
- Click the operand and select Enter text, then enter
- Finally, select Occurrences of this Event.
The Speculative Customer filter is now complete.
Step 4: Create interaction sets
Now you need to create the following interaction sets, which will use the filters you just created to make business decisions:
- The Buy Acknowledgment rule states that on receipt of a Buy event a Buy Acknowledgment action will always be generated.
- The Sell After Buy rule states that when a Sell event comes in and the After Buy filter is satisfied (that is, the Sell event comes within an hour of a Buy event for the same stock and customer), a SellAfterBuy action is generated. This policy is grouped by the TradeObject.key, which is the concatenation of the Customer ID and the Stock ID.
- The Speculative Customer rule states that when a Sell After Buy event comes in that verifies the Speculative Customer filter (that is, there were more than two occurrences of this event for the same customer within 24 hours), the corresponding action is generated. The policy is related by Customer ID.
You'll create the interaction sets shown in Figure 23:
Figure 23. Interaction sets
To build the first interaction set, do the following:
- Click Interaction Set in the Design tool (or select Create => Interaction Set from the menu).
- A template of the interaction block is created. Enter
Buy Acknowledgmentas the name.
- Click event? for In response to, and select Buy. This fills in the Always part of the policy.
- Click action? and select Buy Ack.
- Left-click anywhere in the area after the interaction set name (Buy Acknowledgment), and select Define context relationship from the menu.
- Select TradeObject.Key for the context ID, as shown in Figure
Figure 24. Define a context relationship
Though the Buy acknowledgement interaction set does not need a context relationship, the counting of buying and selling events is done by customer and stock, and therefore the rule needs to have a context ID.
To build the second interaction set, do the following:
- As before, create a new interaction set and give it the name
Sell After Buy.
- For the response event, select Sell.
- Left-click anywhere in the area after the policy name and select Define context relationship from the menu.
- Select TradeObject.Key as the stream ID.
- Next, add a filter condition to the policy. Click the filter icon at
the beginning of the second line and select Add a filter, as
shown in Figure 25.
Figure 25. Add a filter to a policy
- For the Where operator, select After Buy from the list of available filters.
- For Always, select Sell After Buy from the list of actions.
- Right-click the action space (the box that begins with Always) and select Add an action, then select the synthetic event SellAfterBuySynEvent.
Now you're ready to build the final interaction set. The steps to define this interaction set are identical to those for the Sell After Buy policy:
- Create a new interaction set and name it
Speculative Customer.
- Select SellAfterBuySynEvent as the event in response to which the policy will be executed.
- Define a context relationship with TradeObject.CustomerID as its key by right-clicking next to interaction set name and selecting the desired context relationship.
- Right-click the interaction set and select Add a filter => Speculative Customer.
- Select the action to be executed if the filter is evaluated to true, in this case, Speculative Customer.
The WebSphere Business Events application is now complete! Save the project and exit the Design tool.
Deploy and run the application
In order to deploy and run the Business Events application you just built, you'll perform the following steps:
- Specify the connector information for events and actions. This is included in the deployment step because it is this information that needs to be changed in the subsequent parts of the series for integration with other IBM products.
- Start the Business Events run-time in WebSphere Application Server, if not already started.
- Deploy the Business Events application to the run-time.
- Enable history.
- Restart the Business Events run-time.
- Start the connector process.
Step 1: Specify connector information
Before testing the Business Events application, you need to specify the connector information for all events and actions. For simplicity, you can use use the File System Connector to do this.
- Start the Design Data tool and open the project.
- Expand Touchpoints and select Buy.
- Right-click and select Event Properties.
- On the Connection tab, click File System Connection, as shown in Figure 26.
- On the File Event Connection dialog, select Connector Packet as the Format, as shown in Figure 26.
- Select 1 for the Contact frequency (in minutes), and click Configure, as shown in Figure 26.
- In the Server dialog, specify the directory location where
you'll put the event files, for example,
C:\Business Events\test\Buyand a
*.xmlfor the File Pattern, as shown in Figure 26. Make sure the folder you specified exists on your file system.
- Repeat these steps for the Sell event, specifying
Connector Packetas the format, contact frequency as
1minute, and
C:\WBE\test\Sellas the directory.
Note: You don't need to perform the steps for the SellAfterBuySynEvent <- SellAfterBuySynAction event because that event is generated internally by Business Events itself.
Figure 26. Configure the file connector information for Buy and Sell events
Now you need to perform similar configuration steps for actions:
- Right-click Buy Ack, and select Action properties.
- On the Connection tab of the Action Properties dialog, select File System Connector.
- Configure the server section with a different directory from that associated with the Buy and Sell events. For example c:\WBE\testactions. This is where Business Events outputs the generated actions. Make sure that the folder you specified exists on your file system.
- Specify a file pattern unique to this action. For example
Buy*.xml. Specifying a different naming pattern for each type of action makes it easy to see at a glance what the Business Events output is.
- Repeat these steps for SellAfterBuy and
SpeculativeCustomer, using the same file path (for example
c:\WBE\testactions), but a different file pattern, such as
- Save the project.
Step 2: Start the Business Events run-time
To start the Business Events run-time, do the following:
- Select Start => IBM WebSphere => Application Server Network Deployment => Profiles => AppSrvr01 => Start Server.
- Open the WebSphere Application Server administrative console in a Web browser and log into it. For example, http://localhost:9060/ibm/console with a user name of admin.
- In the console, make sure the WBERuntime application is started, as
shown in Figure 27.
Figure 27. Make sure Business Events is running in the console
- Make sure that the database manager is started. If you are using
Derby, invoke
startNetworkServer.batfrom <WBE Install>\WAS\derby\bin\networkServer.
Step 3: Deploy the Business Events application to the run-time
To deploy the Business Events application to the run-time, do the following:
- In the Design Data tool, select Tools => Repositories, and click Login.
- Specify a user name and password.
- You may need to specify a different port number (other than 9080) if the version of WebSphere Application Server you are using does not use the default port number.
- Press Ctrl+A to select all elements in the list of artifacts on the
Project tab of the Repository dialog, then click Add in, as
shown in Figure 28. This adds all the elements to the repository. Note
that you may be asked again for your user name and password.
Figure 28. The Repository view
- Click Close and exit the Design Data tool. Make sure to save the project.
Step 4: Enable history
Now that the project is deployed, you can enable the Business Events history feature. This enables the Business Events run-time to keep track of events, actions, filters, and interaction sets so that you can review what happens in Business Events when you send events.
- Select Start => IBM WebSphere Business Events v6.1 => Events => Properties.
- Specify
wbefor both the user ID and password, and click Next, then Next again.
- In the Server Settings dialog, change Enable history from false to true.
- Click Save and exit.
Step 5: Restart the Business Events run-time
Repeat the steps in Step 2 to restart the Business Events run-time.
Step 6: Start the connector process
To start the connector process, run
connector.bat (or .sh) from
<WBE_install> \director\bin.
Test the application
Now let's look at the Business Events Buy and Sell events and test that the actions can be generated.
- Copy and paste the sample Buy event shown below into a file and save
it as
Buy_event.xml. Make sure that the file name matches the file connector pattern of Buy*.xml.
<connector name="Trade System" version="2.2"> <connector-bundle name="Buy" type="event"> <connector-object name="TradeObject"> <field name="CustomerID" type="String">Jamie Danny</field> <field name="StockID" type="String">IBM</field> <field name="Date" type="DateTime">2008-06-04T10:04:41Z</field> <field name="Quantity" type="Real">10</field> <field name="Price" type="Real">150</field> </connector-object> </connector-bundle> <system>TISMANA</system> <timestamp>2008-06-04T10:04:41Z</timestamp> <loginfo>Test values from WebSphere Business Events:Design Data</loginfo> </connector>
- Copy and paste the sample Sell event below into a file and save it as
sell_event.xml. Again, make sure that the file name matches the file connector pattern of Sell*.xml.
<connector name="Trade System" version="2.2"> <connector-bundle name="Sell" type="event"> <connector-object name="TradeObject"> <field name="CustomerID" type="String">Jamie Danny</field> <field name="StockID" type="String">IBM</field> <field name="Date" type="DateTime">2008-06-04T10:07:15Z</field> <field name="Quantity" type="Real">9</field> <field name="Price" type="Real">150</field> </connector-object> </connector-bundle> <system>TISMANA</system> <timestamp>2008-06-04T10:07:15Z</timestamp> <loginfo>Test values from WebSphere Business Events:Design Data</loginfo> </connector>
- Copy the Buy event file to the location specified in the File connector, for example, c:\WBE\test\Buy.
- Wait for 1 minute (the polling interval specified in the connector properties). At this stage, the event file should disappear and a Buy Ack action should be generated in the directory specified in the action connector (for example, c:\WBE\testactions).
- Next send a Sell event for the same customer and stock. A Sell After Buy action should be generated.
- Send additional Buy and Sell events to Business Events to cause the Speculative Customer action to be generated.
Figure 29 shows sample output from c:\WBE\testactions with the action files generated from the testing.
Figure 29. Sample Business Events output using File Connector
Note: You can also send events directly to Business Events using
the cmdline tool located in <WBE_install>\director\bin. To
use the tool, run the following command:
cmdline <Event file>.xml For
example, you could issue the following command to send a Buy event to
Business Events:
cmdline c:\temp\Buy_event.xml.
Note: If you see the following message repeated many times in the connectors window:
FS Sending event: Sell
FS Sending event: Sell
and you don't see the expected output action, make sure you completed step 5 in the Specify connector information section correctly. The Connector format must be set to connector packet for the event to be triggered correctly.
View reports with the Business Events monitor
You can also use the Business Events monitor to see what happened in Business Events when the events were processed. This was made possible when you enabled history. To use the Business Events monitor to view reports, do the following:
- Enter the following URL in a browser:
http://localhost:9080 /wbe/common/login.jsp. Make sure to use the correct port number for your Application Server.
- Enter a user name and password and select Administrator from the Tool list, then click Login.
- Click the Reports icon at the top of the control panel.
- Select Actions by Touchpoint by time as the Report Type.
- Click the Generate Report icon to run the report. The report
displays in a separate window. as shown in Figure 30. After viewing
the list of actions, close the window.
Figure 30. Sample output of Business Events monitor
By choosing different report types from the Reports view, you can view events, filters, policies, streams and intermediate objects that WebSphere Business Events used during its execution.
You've now learned how to build and run a Business Events application. In the remaining articles in this series, we'll use the example scenario and this applicaton to illustrate how other IBM products can provide events into Business Events and consume its actions.
The authors would like to thank Eric Erpenbach and James Taylor for their comments and feedback on this article.

Campbellsville City Council members are contemplating closing Miller Park and Trace Creek.
At a special-called meeting Monday night that lasted more than two hours, a few Council members talked about testing the creek and the soil for contaminants after some sewer overflows in the area, overflows that follow short, heavy rains.
Backpacks, binders and bulldozers were all needed to make the first day of school a success at Campbellsville Independent.
CIS students started the 2016-2017 school year on Monday, Aug. 8, instead of the originally scheduled Wednesday, Aug. 3. The change was made to allow construction workers more time to finish renovations at Campbellsville Elementary School.
A new $1.6 million fire station for the Taylor County Volunteer Fire Department will be built, and once construction begins, it could take 10 months to complete.
"I've been wanting to do this on this court for a long time," said District Two Magistrate John Gaines.
The first week of school has gone smoothly for all Taylor County Schools, and the meal programs are being regularly used by students. Taylor County Primary Center Principal Melissa Long reported they had fed 100 percent of their students breakfast and lunch, which is an improvement from last year's only 40 percent for breakfast.
"It's getting better each day," Long said.
Bowling leagues starting at Phillips Lanes
Winter bowling leagues at Phillips Lanes will begin at different times, beginning on Aug. 29, with meetings scheduled the week before league play begins.
• The Jam League, five-man teams, will start on Monday, Aug. 29 at 6:45.
• The Fellowship (four-man teams) and Subway Express (4-woman teams) Leagues start Tuesday, Sept. 6 and 7 and 6:20, respectively.
Calen McKinney, Campbellsville Schools
Campbellsville High School boys' golf team finished in ninth place at the 20-team Commodore Classic at Tates Creek Golf Course in Lexington on Saturday.
Eagle junior Alex Doss won a playoff on the second hole to finish the tournament in first place with a 73.
Overall, the CHS team, coached by Jim Ward, finished with a 336.
Other scores for the Eagles were: Layton Hord (82), Myles Murrell (89) and Noah Wagers (92).
Connor Wilson did not play for CHS because of a muscular shoulder strain.
Campbellsville High School girls' golfer Abbie Dicken has advanced to the All "A" State Tournament.
Dicken, a sophomore, competed in the All "A" Fifth Region tournament at Green County Country Club on Monday, and was one of the top two individual finishers not from the qualifying squad — Green County (152).
Dicken is the only girls' golf player at CHS this year, so she competes as an individual under coach David Payne.
Dicken finished her nine holes with a 48.

Oh, I get that. I'm in Australia again at the moment, with my wife's family, so I know what it's like being up in the wee hours to watch a match, and considering I'm moving out here permanently later in the year, I'm going to just have to get used to that.
Still, whether I'm in the UK or here, it is annoying the constant shifting around of the matches, but I still just see it as a consequence of succes in the modern game.

AbstractThis study provides new data on the various carotenoids found in bambangan (Mangifera pajang Kosterm.) peel and pulp extracts, such as all-trans-α- and β-carotene, cis-β-carotene, 9-cis-β-carotene, and cryptoxanthin. Chemical and biological antioxidant assays were determined to evaluate the antioxidant capacity of bambangan peel and pulp extracts. Bambangan pulp had higher α- and β-carotene contents (7.96 ± 1.53 and 20.04 ± 1.01 mg/100 g) than its peel (4.2 ± 0.14 and 13.09 ± 0.28 mg/100 g); the cryptoxanthin contents of bambangan peel and pulp were 0.60 and 1.18 mg/100 g, respectively. The antioxidant activity results determined by chemical assay using the 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method showed that bambangan peel extract had higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than its pulp. In the biological assays bambangan peel and pulp had protective effects against hemoglobin and LDL oxidation at an extract concentration of 1 ppm. Bambangan peel is a therefore a potential source of natural antioxidants and could be utilized as a functional ingredient.

"Private Caller Although "Private Caller" was produced, vocaled and released whilst Skepta, JME, and Frisco were a part of the Meridian Crew, the underground grime scene today considers this a part of Boy Better Know's discography due to the nature of the track's release date, and the formation of Boy Better Know (both in 2005). The track was produced by Skepta and vocaled by members of North London crews such as Meridian (Big H, Prez T/President T, JME, Dan & Bossman), TMT (Frisco, Cell 22, Dimples & Danny B) & Cold Blooded (Cookie & Scorcher). The track gained much popularity on pirate radio stations and raves."

You may have heard claims that the cure to cancer lies within an apricot seed. Research doesn't support those claims.
Apricot seeds contain a substance known as amygdalin. When taken orally, the body converts amygdalin into cyanide, a highly toxic poison.
The History of Apricot Seeds as a Cancer Cure
The notion that apricot seed extract could reduce tumors first came about in the 1920s. A San Francisco doctor named Ernst Krebs developed the idea. But even then, the doctor noted the use of amygdalin was "too unpredictable and too dangerous" for human use.
Twenty years later, Krebs' son, Ernst Krebs, Jr., claimed to have synthesized a safer version of the extract. He labeled it "Laetrile," an acronym for levorotatory and mandelonitrile. Health professionals were labeling Laetrile "medical quackery" by 1976.
FDA Cracks Down
Organizations like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the American Cancer Society continue to denounce amygdalin. A phase 2 trial in 1982 concluded that Laetrile is not an effective cancer therapy.
"There is no scientific evidence that Laetrile offers anything but false hope to cancer patients, some of whom have used it instead of conventional treatment until it was too late for that treatment to be effective," former FDA Commissioner Dr. Lester M. Crawford said.
Laetrile remains unapproved by the FDA. The FDA investigates and prosecutes companies who manufacture Laetrile and apricot kernels under the umbrella of dietary supplements.
Outside the U.S.
Some people still seek out this chemical for cancer treatment, despite its lack of clinical effectiveness and potential dangers. As of 2005, about two dozen cancer clinics in Tijuana, Mexico, used Laetrile and other debunked methods to treat cancer. These include "metabolic therapies" such as:
- fasting
- bowel cleansing
- supplements
- using natural toxic chemicals like Laetrile
The National Cancer Institute notes that U.S.-patented Laetrile and the amygdalin found in Mexico are different. The Laetrile used in Mexico is made from crushed apricot seeds, while the U.S. version uses a semisynthetic derivative of amygdalin.
However, they both use the structural component mandelonitrile, which contains cyanide.

Hello there.
I know this is a strange question. I like this WordPress plugin so much, and i can't find a good solution in prestashop. Which I've been using for creating webshops.
Again. Know it's strange. But it would be great if you could make a module for prestashop, if you have the knowledge. There is no other alternative to this plugin, in prestashop. Sadly
Best regards
...and peace in the world!

since yesterday the contents of my WordPress dashboard have disappeared. I installed quite a few plug-ins on my new installed blog and at some point the contents where gone.
The Dashboard page itself shows up but there is no 'Right Now' and any of the other content boxes. This happens if I click the link at the top to go to the dashboard (which is http://blog.hexagonstar.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=index.php). But if I only enter http://blog.hexagonstar.com/wp-admin/ in my browser the dashboard will show correctly.
I've also tried it with deactivating all plugins but it didn't change back to showing the dashboard.
Anything known on this problem or how it could be fixed?

Hi there,
I having been using and abusing WordPress for over 4 years. I want to get better at hacking and developing plugins for my own use and to also give back to the community.
I was wondering what are the best tools, programming languages etc to do this. Especially any advice for debugging plugins that don't work would be useful.
I have firebug, fiddler, (not that I know how to use them)
Any good plug-in development tutorials out there?


text: I have a random 2 cell empty box showing on my page. I didn't have it before I used wppa but now that I upgraded my wppa it is back. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it please? I love this plugin but the frame is driving me nuts! http://hobbiesonabudget.com/resources-for-bloggers/free-images-for-blogs/

Thursday Jan. 15, 2009
CHICAGO (AP) -- Free agent Bartolo Colon has agreed to a $1 million, one-year contract with the Chicago White Sox.
A two-time 20-game winner, Colon could earn an additional $2 million based on innings.
He pitched for the White Sox in 2003, going 15-13 with a 3.87 ERA and 173 strikeouts while setting career-highs for innings (242) and complete games (nine).
The 35-year-old right-hander was limited to just seven starts with Boston last season because of back stiffness that landed him on the disabled list for three months. He wound up going 4-2 with a 3.92 ERA in his lone season with the Red Sox.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) -- It wasn't the first time that the No. 2 Tigers got off to a slow start this season, but it was the first time in a must-win game.
No. 31 Chatfield jumped out to a 10-0 lead following a Grand Junction fumble. They controlled possession so much that the Tigers only ran 22 plays on offense in the first half - their fewest in a half all season.
Head coach Robbie Owens said that the first quarter struggles are going to have to be eliminated as the Tigers advance into the 5A playoffs. For more from Owens, click on the video link above.

When I finally received my free sample in July, my charge card was charged another $99.61. On August 8, I called the company and spoke to a representative and he said they would credit my charge card for the first $99.61 the following day.
But when the following month's credit card statement arrived there was no credit for $99.61. At that time, I called the 800 number and was holding for over 30 minutes. Since I was at work, I could not hold for any longer.
I called my credit card company and they told me to file a Customer Statement of Disputed Item form with them. They were able to credit my account for the second $99.61 charge, but, since the first charge was more than 90 days old they would not be able to credit that first amount and told me to contact the company.
This morning, October 26, I tried numerous times to call the 800 number and I get a recording saying, "We're sorry, your call did not go through, please try your call again later." I also tried calling from my cell phone and the line was busy.
Their number is (800) 927-2029 and they are based in Utah (according to my charge card statement).
I'm not sure what you can do, but I would like to get my money back. Thank you for your help.

- Conference date: 27–29 June 2012
- Location: Ancona, Italy
We present a new type of system for measuring the vibration simultaneously at multiple positions (multipoint vibrometry) using multiple (at the moment 14) individual channels, each consisting of a complete heterodyne interferometer. Control of the three-dimensional position of the measurement positions is achieved using dynamic holography implemented by a liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) spatial light modulator. Compared to full field vibration measurement techniques like ESPI, a high temporal bandwidth in combination with a high dynamic range is achieved for the interference signal. Transient phenomena at different points can be acquired. We analyse the system concerning the light efficiency and show first experimental results.

Bill would protect same-sex, bi-national couplesFebruary 15,2013
MONTPELIER More than a year after U.S. immigration authorities sought to split up a same-sex, bi-national couple living in Vermont, Sens. Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Susan Collins of Maine are pushing legislation to protect such couples.
After a threatening letter from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services 14 months ago, Frances Herbert and Takako Ueda of Dummerston got a follow-up letter in May saying the agency would hold off for two years before trying to deport Ueda to her native Japan for an expired visa.
Now legislation introduced by Leahy and Collins backed by President Barack Obama would halt such deportations by allowing Americans to sponsor their same-sex permanent partners who are immigrants for permanent residency.
There are an estimated 36,000 same-sex, bi-national couples in the country.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER The Vermont Democratic Party and its nominee for lieutenant governor have reached an...

A Land-Grant Visionary's Notion of Home

Finals are around the corner and so is move out day. Some students are moving out of their dorms for summer and some even for good. There is nothing messier then a college dorm room after finals. Dirty clothes everywhere, dust bunnies on every surface, and trash overflowing onto the floor. Cleaning and packing is not the way you want to spend the last few days with your friends. Planning ahead with these 5 tips will make cleaning, packing, and moving less of a hassle and a faster process.
Be Prepared.
Buy boxes, tape, and other moving supplies early or remind mom and dad to bring them if they are helping you move out. Being prepared will save you time. You don't want to have to run to the store in between packing because you ran out of tape.

Skip to comments.US Using Low-Flying Gunships In Libya
Posted on 03/29/2011 6:29:02 AM PDT by Strategy
A top military official says the U.S. was striking Libyan targets with low-flying Air Force AC-130 gunships and A-10 Thunderbolts over the weekend, bolstering speculation that the U.S. air missions have served to support rebels seeking to overthrow Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi.
(Excerpt) Read more at miamiherald.com ...
If you are going to conduct illegal war, conduct illegals war. Whoever gave the order should be tried for war crimes. You cannot have war crime trials of people and then do the same crap yourself.
My guess is that we now have boots on the ground as liaison and controlling the air strikes.
seems like this Qaddafi problem could have been resolved with a single way placed bullet. How much does a single well placed bullet cost? How much will this "kinetic military action" cost?
A lot less than $100 million a day. That's for sure.
Word mincing alert. Nah, pounding the piss out of Gadaffi's armor and little technicals couldn't possibly support the rebels in gaining ground.
Obama needs to save face at the cost of taxpayers. Indirectly, we're putting our boys in harms way in Libya and we're paying $100 million a day to help Obama save face and move up in the polls so he can increase his chances of winning in 2012.
I actually thought the our military was watching "kinetic action" not in a "kinetic military action"? Man i wish the "Won" would clarify this.
The average American does not even know the difference between enforcing a No Fly Zone and an aerial intervention in a civil war.
Sadly, they depend on our Representatives to notice that and do something.
Exactly who are the "rebels" and what is their relationship to Al-Qaeda? Exactly who are we killing with our gunships? Why? I do not understand. What will overthrowing Gadhafi accomplish, besides creating another country controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood and Al-Qaeda hostile to Christians and the USA?
People from the middle east use the word "democracy" to please the westerners; they do not know what democracy is.
Obama is looking for another Mogadishu on his hands, and just when one thinks he cannot do any worse as POTUS he proves them wrong.
The people in Tripoloi have Osama Bin Ladens Qaida boys approaching from the east, Barak Huissein Obama Bombing from the north, and Mohmar Gadaffie bombing from the west.
Now that's a Meat Grinding Muzzie circle jerk if I ever saw one. The longer this lasts, the better.
Preparing the ground to send in ground forces in April or May.
Only problem is until Biden takes over the Presidency due to Barak Huissein Obama's law breaking, Obama has hijacked our military :(
Your guess would be correct. They have been there scouting landing zones and doing FAC.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner never used the word "war" to describe what's happening in Libya, but made a point of addressing what the conflict he chose "says about the use of America's military power, and America's broader leadership in the world, under my presidency."
The blush is off the rose.
We're doing Air Interdiction, which is basically almost the same as Close Air Support just minus the coordination with the troops on the ground and supposedly separated by more space. You can easily and purposefully blur the lines between AI and CAS without much effort.
I still firmly believe we need to understand more about the rebels, who they are, their intention, goals and vision of the end-game. I think we could easily usher in a bigger problem to the US than Gadaffi himself if we are not intelligent about this.
.... or more likely to acknowledge that they've been there for a while.
But I have hopes for a stalemate giving a protracted bloody civil war, where we just keep lobbing bombs into the middle of Gadaffi and Bin Ladens Al Qaida forces.
If Obama wins, Al Qaida will have its first country.
We have had boots on the ground for at least two weeks.
It's been their goal all along... now, they can have it sooner and better... compliments of the US/European forces and because of the US/European ignorance.
Jihadis who killed Americans get U.S. support in Libya
And the thunderbolt has a 12', 30MM gatling gun. They are going after more than troops. That 105 will take out a reinforced bunker.
Don't worry, Biden's watching this. I hope he gets hungry for the Presidency. I'm sure you already know Biden opposes Obama on getting involved in Libya.
Some of the rebels are fighting toe to toe with the Libyan military and winning, even when the air support is not present. Someone is coordinating the rebel advances and calling in CAS for them.
My 19 year old boy isn't going near this crap. The Kenyan King can kiss my a$$.
However, as one approaches the coast, there are well wooded mountains and it is lush enough to give cover to the tanks and artillery pounding Misurata and blasting the harbor where the relief ships are trying to get in. A pity we haven't a real battleship or even a couple of heavy cruisers to secure the perimeter with counter-battery fire ... a lot cheaper than the million-dollar a round missiles.
Undoubtedly there are laser painter teams on the ground, and helos will be needed to suppress sniper fire from the rooftops and tall buildings.
Who knows how well Gadaffi is organized. He could pull back into the desert and run a harassing operation for a long time. Got to blast him in the coastal strip. He probably has 10 years worth of COMBLOC hardware and ammo stashed around the country.
Except that we shouldn't be there at all, this seems an excellent adventure so far! With all the different AFs, it reminds me a bit of the old "Blackhawk" comic series! I wonder why the Gyppos aren't in it. They have 425 Thousand men under arms and they could use the exercise, not to mention control of an oil field or two along the Eastern border.
OOPS! Bless me O politically Correct fathers, I have sinned in thought and word!
What happened to enforcing a no-fly zone? This is full up (Islamic) nation building effort.
Are those A-10s the most well-suited aircraft we have for air-to-air combat? The purpose of a no-fly zone is to prevent the enemy from flying, is it not?
I wonder what the A-10's air-to-air combat record is over its history...
BS! If we have close in air support, you can bet your ass that there are americans on the ground calling in the strikes. That is how it works.
If the Military Brass will do this , under the guise of "I was only obeying orders", then you can bet your ass that when they are given the order to open fire on Americans, they will.
I don't think anyone's really doubted that we certainly had FACs, Special Operations personnel, etc. on the ground before the first US shot was fired. They're just not acknowledged as "boots on the ground."
If we're in there with AC-130s and A-10s, this isn't like any "no fly zone" I've ever heard of....
I'm so happy my Governor told him publically he can go to he#$.
Obama's insulting our intelligence. He actually thinks we're stupid.
Could we call it what it is......?
A "Don't Move Zone."
So if this is supposed to end Wednesday, that means Muammar just has to button down for another 36 hours?
The more I think abut this, it is purely an African Muslim conflict, and the American people have absolutely no interest in this.
However, Our African Muslim President does, and so we all get to go to war.
Apparently obama has given a muslim military force the most powerful close air support in the world.
Also, when the NAACP criticised him for refusing to meet with them on Martin Luther King Day he said "The NAACP can kiss my A**".
We could be looking at a very nasty summer.
I like that.
We might just see the won spend his Summer (possibly the rest of his term) at Camp David, for his safety. Your are absolutely correct, in warning us, to be vigilant.
Well, "we" elected him in a landslide. Seems pretty stupid to me. Didn't you get any "Obama stash" money? Those were the smart ones that elected him.
And one more thing, "we" may re elect him if we don't find the right Republican. We still have to go through the torture of a primary and listen to "If you vote for him/her, they can't beat Obama", so we vote for some Rino thinking we have to to get rid of Obama. If unemployment goes to 7% or so, watch them say we can't go back to those bad old days that gave us 4% unemployment and a 14k DOW. He's not going to be as easy to beat as some think.
I know what you mean... even worse is when one republican says... ""If my guy don't win, I'll stay home"
True, but not by any of the rebels. Of all the news clips shown on TV 24/7, have you seen these clowns fire a weapon, any weapon, anywhere but up in the air??? The sky over Libya must be saturated with lead by now.
Huissein was sending Mohmmar money just a month ago, and now he's bombing him. That's cold.

LG Sounds Tablet Market Retreat After Microsoft Surface Announcement
Jason Mick

Sender E-mail
Company is first Android tablet maker to call it quits post-Surface, will "focus on smartphones"
Finally profitable
South Korean gadget-maker LG Electronics Inc. (
) was eyeing a deeper charge into the tablet market. But in the wake of Microsoft Corp.'s (
announcement of the "Surface"
, a 10.6-inch super-slick Windows 8 tablet, LG decided the time was not right for deeper market penetration.
I. Bye Bye Tablet Market, Says LG
Ken Hong, a spokesman for Seoul-based LG, commented in
an email
, "We've decided to put all new tablet development on the back burner for the time being in order to focus on smartphones."
LG currently has a minimal presence in the tablet market -- the market for large touch-screen devices that tread the line between a smartphone and a traditional personal computer. Last March LG launched its first tablet, the Optimus Pad, which was marketed as the "G-Slate" on Deutsche Telekom's (
) T-Mobile USA network. That dual-core Honeycomb tablet was followed up on by the announcement of the Optimus Pad LTE earlier this year, but that tablet has yet to ship.

The tablet market is expected to reach $78.7B USD this year, but Android tablet makers like LG have
struggled against market leader Apple
, Inc. (
). So far the company that has made the most progress
is Amazon.com
, Inc. (
) whose
$200 USD Kindle Fire
runs a branched variant of Android that Amazon designs in-house.
The big problem facing the Android pack is price. None of them can match Amazon's attractive $200 price. For example the G-Slate debuted at $529 USD, before eventually falling to $399 -- twice the price of a Kindle Fire. Those prices put it in the same ballpark as Apple's iPad, which starts at $499. But thus far Android tablet makers have failed to convince tablet consumers that their product is worth as much as an iPad.
Microsoft's arrival on the scene has sent further waves of fear through the huddled ranks of Android manufacturers. While its tablets will likely be priced at higher than an iPad (one estimate we've been hearing is $900 USD for the Intel Corp. (
Ivy Bridge
model), they pack a full-fledged PC-operating system and a keyboard that looks far nicer than bare-bones wired and wireless keyboards for Android tablets.
They also have a colorful and striking design flare that easily outshines the more demure Android designs like the G-Slate, a substantive design that arguably outdoes Apple at its own game.
In short, it's increasingly looking like Apple and Microsoft will dominate the high-end, while quasi-Android tablet-maker Amazon will sweep up on the low end. The rest of Windows 8 and Android third party crowd are left with a less certain fate trying to sell less-distinctive devices at middle-of-the-road price points.
II. Company Faces Challenges in the Smartphone Sector
LG's focus on its phone offerings is needed. Apple recently passed it in unit sales, a testament to the twilight of the feature phone -- a market that LG long performed well in. That's not necessarily bad news for LG. It's turning a profit, and smartphone can be a much higher margin business than feature phones.
But competition is very fierce in the smartphone market right now. Windows Phone maker Nokia Oyj. (
) has
started to gain ground
. Apple continues to accelerate its iPhone sales. And Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) has consolidated its market share into
a world-leading Android smartphone empire
. With LG positioned similarly to other
scrappy challengers like HTC
Corp. (
) the demand to execute in terms of product launches has never been higher for the electronics firm.

LG's Optimus line
has started to gain some brand recognition in the U.S. But it has a long ways to go before it becomes as well known as, say, Samsung's Galaxy line of smartphones.

RE: Response from public
That's not completly fair. Each company has it's own thing they're good at, and having something i'd call a general electronic device like a dehumidifier from a company called general electric... yeah.
I have an LG dumbphone, still goes strong after i've had it nearly a decade (i'm not so much into smartphones), with the battery still lasting multiple days on idle. The only thing that's "wrong" with it is that it's one of those flip open phones, and the flip resistance is completly gone. Otherwise it's survived a decade of falls, accidents and general use just fine.
Also have 3 LG screens which all work just great. One is a 56" HDTV, a normal 23" computer monitor and a 23" 3D monitor. The 1 year old 3D monitor does have 1 deadish pixel (it can't turn black anymore, just stays green then) and that's it (i suspect that to be due to the passive 3D technology's complexity - the other older 23" screen still works 100%). The TV and my HDTV decoder don't always get along either, but i suspect that's more due to the decoder then the TV.
The phone was a gift but i bought the screens because at the time, they where all the best quality for the price you got. Their main contenders are sony and samsung, and while i have an older 42" samsung TV as well which works just fine, their newer lines just aren't either as sharp or as colorfull as the LG screens. Even worse samsung often uses a glass plate instead of a matte screen which reflects light like crazy. In the store you can always see the samsung TV's from afar since you can clearly see the ceiling lights's reflection in them while all LG TV's just have a little yellowish blur. And they're ugly. Astethics doesn't matter much to me but i still noticed them to be quite tacky.
And Sony... well... Unless you go with the really expensive bravia's, their TV's are always worse in one aspect to the LG's. They use more power, have a lesser crisp image or the colours are less vivid, pick one. Also they tend to be more pricey even in the low segments.
So like with any company stick with what they know. Even though in today's world everything is built to fail a dehumidifier built by GE will still outlast one built by LG. Should GE ever enter the monitor/LCD market however, i'll just stick with my LG's.
"So if you want to save the planet, feel free to drive your Hummer. Just avoid the drive thru line at McDonalds." -- Michael Asher

John Walter Lord Dies After 4 Weeks' Illness
Lawyer and Civil Worker Active in Many Organizations of city
John Walter Lord, one of our best known members of the Baltimore bar, died yesterday at his home, 4332 North Charles Street, after an illness of about 4 weeks of bronchitia, followed by complications. The funeral will be held at noon tomorrow from Christ Protestant Episcopal Church and burial will be in Greenmount cemetery.
Although identified with Baltimore for the greater part of his life, Mr. Lord was a native of St. Louis. He was born July 5, 1875, being the son of Mrs. Elizabeth Walterhouse Lord and the late Charles King Lord. His father was a vice-president of the B. & O. Railroad and president of the Consolidation Coal Company for many years. His grandfather was president of Dartmouth College during the Civil War and moved South afterward because of his pro-slavery views.
Mr. Lord came to Baltimore when a boy. He attended Marston's University School for Boys, graduated from Princeton in 1895, and received his education in law at the Harvard Law School. His first position was in the legal department of the B. & O. Railroad. Later he entered the law firm of Taylor, Keech, Wright and Lord. In 1919 he and W. P. Whip formed the firm Lord and Whip.
He was a Democrat and was counsel to the State Industrial Accident Commission from 1914 to 1918. He was director of civilian relief of the Baltimore Chapter of the Red cross during the war.
In civil affairs Mr Lord showed his practical interest through active work in the National Civic Federation, having been president of the Maryland council. He was delegate at large to the Democratic National Convention last summer and cast his vote on the final ballot for Ambassador John W. Davis, who was his personal friend. He was a member of the Baltimore Club, American, Maryland and Baltimore City Bar Associations, and was author of many articles on railroad problems and workmen's compensation systems.
Besides his mother, the survivors are his widow, who was Miss Henrietta Mactier Hoffman before her marriage in 1909, one daughter, Henrietta Hoffman Lord; one son, John Walter Lord, Jr and two sisters, Mrs A. Marshall Bell and Mrs Charles Patterson, both of Pittsburgh.

They showed me the speaks and even tried to tell me about all the features. I told them I didn't have enough money, and they didn't believe me cause I drive a BMW. Maybe thats why they approached me. I told them I only have 90 bucks and a credit card. They tried to get the number of the card, but I'm not that stupid. After like 15 mins I left, and they caught me back on the road telling me they will sell it for 200. I didn't have the money so I went to my cousin's and talked to him.
My cousin wrote down the model and looked it up online, and found out these were phony speakers. So he told me not to buy and those guys left. They even had the nerve to make me feel bad about not buying them, and they said stuff about losing their job because their late to meet their boss. What JACK ASSES! After they left, it was an HOUR after we first talked.

The program, called Kristin's Story, was hosted by Andrea Cooper. Cooper says her daughter Kristin suffered from depression and committed suicide in college, then Cooper and her husband later found out from their daughter's diary that she had been raped.
Kristin's mother has spoken at about 300 universities and conventions across the U.S. to spread rape depression awareness and education. "So many people stuff their feelings after tragedy and that's not healthy, so I want them to understand what's happened, realize they need help, help their friends get counseling, but my goal is to get them to go to counseling." said Cooper.
Wednesday's event organizers say Kristin's Story has been running for more than ten years.
