I do not know what you mean by "if you see code". If I want to set a 
duration of 10 seconds beyond the current time for my timed_lock to 
expire, are you saying I should pass:

boost::date_time::second_clock<boost::posix_time::ptime>::universal_time() 
+ boost::posix_time::seconds(10)

instead of

boost::date_time::second_clock<boost::posix_time::ptime>::local_time() + 
boost::posix_time::seconds(10) ?
