"Rainbow Place" where happily ever after comes with dinner and a drink...
Happy Place - Hamish Long,Jay Northcote

I took a little longer than usual to get to this one because after listening to the first book in the series I squirreled off to other things so when this story became available on audio I of course had to squirrel off to the audible story and get the other audio books so that i could catch up and now having enjoyed those stories here we are at the fifth installment of Jay Northcote's "Rainbow Place" series.

 

George is gay, in his 40's and has never been kissed much less anything else. George's upbringing has taught him that being homosexual is wrong and he's tried to deny this part of himself but after 40 plus years of hiding in a closet he's starting to find it harder and harder to ignore what he knows to be true.

 

Quentin's had his fill of bad relationships and he's not interested in anything serious and George is sweet and sexy and just looking to sample what it's like to be with another man...it's clearly a win/win for both men when they decide to hook up.

 

What starts as some no strings attached behind closed doors fun and sex for both men starts to develop strings faster than either man has anticipated and they find themselves navigating rougher waters than either could have anticipated.

 

We first met Quentin in book #1 of the "Rainbow Place" series Seb and Jason's story and the story of how Rainbow Place came to be.  Quentin's a reporter and he's fresh out a relationship that was bad...so needless to say 'cautious' is his middle name.

 

George was raised to believe that 'gay is bad' seriously 'going to hell bad' but he's also finding that what he was taught isn't what is or what he wants to believe...he just needs to get past what's been ingrained in his psyche.

 

The age gap between Quentin and George definitely went into the range that still makes me a bit squeamish, but the dynamics between them, with Quentin actually being the one to have the experience and confidence of being an out and proud gay man really helped to offset the actually chronological difference in their years. 

 

Hamish Long is once again the narrator for this installment of "Rainbow Place" providing characters with voices that were rich with character and depth. Having the same narrator for each story whether the main characters change or not helps a story to have a continuity and flow that resonates in the narrators voice with a familiarity with the authors world that can only be achieved by knowing a series start to finish the way one would if they had been a part of the adventure from the beginning.

 

I don't know if this is the last installment in this series but I have to admit I'm hoping not since there's been more than one engagement among these couples so I'm hoping there's a wedding story or two at least.

 

*************************

An audio book of "Happy Place" was graciously provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.

Force HTTP to HTTPS with .htaccess

SQL Injection is The most widespread stability vulnerabilities online. Here I’ll consider to elucidate in detail this type of vulnerabilities with examples of bugs in PHP and possible answers.

If You're not so confident with programming languages and web technologies you may well be thinking what SQL remain for. Properly, it’s an acronym for Structured Question Language (pronounced “sequel”). It’s “de facto” the conventional language to entry and manipulate info in databases.

Currently most Internet sites depend upon a database (ordinarily MySQL) to keep and access info.

Our example will probably be a common login kind. Web surfers see Those people login varieties daily, you place your username and password in after which the server checks the qualifications you equipped. Okay, that’s straightforward, but what comes about just on the server when he checks your credentials?

The consumer (or user) sends towards the server two strings, the username and the password.

Ordinarily the server will likely have a database by using a table wherever the user’s facts are stored. This table has no less than two columns, just one to retailer the username and one particular with the password. Once the server gets the username and password strings he will query the databases to see In the event the supplied qualifications are valid. He will use an SQL statement for that which will appear to be this:

Pick out * FROM customers Exactly where username=’SUPPLIED_USER’ AND password=’SUPPLIED_PASS’

For those of you who are not knowledgeable about the SQL language, in SQL the ‘ character is utilised like a delimiter for string variables. Below we utilize it to delimit the username and password strings supplied Force HTTP to HTTP through the consumer.

In this example we see which the username and password equipped are inserted in the question in between the ‘ and all the question is then executed from the database motor. When the question returns any rows, then the provided qualifications are valid (that consumer exists from the database and has the password which was provided).

Now, what comes about if a consumer sorts a ‘ character in to the username or password area? Nicely, by putting only a ‘ to the username industry and residing the password discipline blank, the query would grow to be:

Find * FROM customers In which username=”’ AND password=”

This would set off an error, Because the databases engine would evaluate the end of your string at the second ‘ and then it would result in a parsing mistake in the 3rd ‘ character. Permit’s now what would transpire if we would send this enter data:

Username: ‘ OR ‘a’=’a

Password: ‘ OR ‘a’=’a

The query would develop into

SELECT * FROM buyers Where by username=” OR ‘a’=’a’ AND password=” OR ‘a’=’a’

Due to the fact a is always equal to a, this query will return all of the rows in the table buyers along with the server will “think” we equipped him with valid qualifications and let as in – the SQL injection was effective :).

Now we are going to see some extra advanced strategies.. My example will likely be based upon a PHP and MySQL System. In my MySQL databases I designed the following desk:

CREATE Desk end users (

username VARCHAR(128),

password VARCHAR(128),

e-mail VARCHAR(128))

There’s a single row in that table with data:

username: testuser

password: tests

electronic mail: testuser@tests.com

To examine the qualifications I designed the subsequent query in the PHP code:

$query=”find username, password from buyers in which username='”.$consumer.”‘ and password='”.$go.”‘”;

The server can also be configured to print out faults triggered by MySQL (this is beneficial for debugging, but need to be averted over a manufacturing server).

So, previous time I confirmed you ways SQL injection fundamentally is effective. Now I’ll explain to you how can we make more advanced queries and the way to use the MySQL mistake messages to acquire a lot more information about the database structure.

Allows start! So, if we set just an ‘ character from the username area we get an mistake concept like

You may have an error within your SQL syntax; Examine the handbook that corresponds for your MySQL server Model for the correct syntax to implement close to ”” and password=”’ at line one

That’s since the question turned

pick username, password from buyers exactly where username=”’ and password=”

What happens now if we try and set into your username industry a string like ‘ or person=’abc ?

The query becomes

decide on username, password from users wherever username=” or consumer=’abc ‘ and password=”

And this give us the mistake information

Mysterious column ‘consumer’ in ‘exactly where clause’

That’s great! Making use of these mistake messages we are able to guess the columns while in the table. We could endeavor to put from the username subject ‘ or e mail=’ and since we get no error message, we recognize that the e-mail column exists in that desk. If We all know the e-mail handle of the user, we will now just try with ‘ or email=’testuser@tests.com in both equally the username and password fields and our query turns into

find username, password from buyers exactly where username=” or electronic mail=’testuser@screening.com’ and password=” or e-mail=’testuser@screening.com’

and that is a valid question and if that email handle exists from the table we will correctly login!

You can even use the mistake messages to guess the table name. Due to the fact in SQL You should utilize the table.column notation, you'll be able to make an effort to put within the username area ‘ or consumer.exam=’ and you will see an mistake information like

Mysterious table ‘user’ in where by clause

High-quality! Allow’s check out with ‘ or end users.test=’ and We've got

Not known column ‘people.check’ in ‘where clause’

so logically there’s a table named customers :).

Fundamentally, In the event the server is configured to present out the error messages, You should utilize them to enumerate the database framework and Then you certainly may be able to use these informations in an attack.

The Hiding Place by C.J. Tudor
The Hiding Place - C.J. Tudor

This review can also be found at Carole's Random Life in Books.

I didn't like this one nearly as much as I had hoped I would but I did like it. I absolutely loved C.J. Tudor's first book, The Chalk Man, so I was really eager to read her newest book. This was not a bad book by any means but for me, it was missing that essential spark that I had hoped to find.

This is really Joe's story. Joe goes back to teach at his hometown high school. This town doesn't hold the best memories for him but he needs a job and there is one available at his old high school so he does what he needs to do. It is obvious right from the start that Joe knows how to work a situation and can fake it when needed. Joe has a few, okay more than a few, gambling debts so he is in desperate need of a job.

As a reader, you know that Joe has some history in this town, including whatever happened to his sister, Annie, but it takes a long time to find out exactly what happened. This book is told both in the present day and the past. I felt like a lot more of the book was set in the present day but I liked the story from the past a lot more. As the story came together and things were revealed, I just never felt all that surprised. I wanted something in this story to really shake things up but it seemed somewhat predictable for me.

I had a hard time connecting to Joe and really all of the characters in this book. I never felt like Joe could be trusted and he really just felt like a mess to me. I really have no problem liking flawed characters and often feel that they feel more realistic but Joe just seemed to be missing that redeeming quality that I needed to see. All of the characters in this book felt rather flat to me.

I think that a lot of readers will like this one a lot more than I did. I was looking forward to a dark story which I got but unfortunately, I couldn't connect with the characters and felt that the story was somewhat predictable. I did like the book and plan to read more from C.J. Tudor just as soon as it is available.

I received a digital review copy of this book from Crown Publishing Group via NetGalley.

Initial Thoughts
This was okay. I never felt like the story completely grabbed me and found the book pretty easy to set aside. I was actually more interested in the parts of the book that were set in the past. I did not like Joe or any of the characters but I didn't hate them either. Unfortunately, this book really didn't make me feel much of anything. I was mildly interested in how things would work out but the big reveal at the end didn't do much for me.
