Amazing cave homes that bring the pre-historic to modern times
Underground living, or living in caves was a practice followed by the early man. While it has fallen out of fashion since the dawn of civilization, it has its own allure and has never really been completely given up. Those looking for eco architecture, often look at caves as their preferred medium of choice, partially for the ambience, and in part for the reduced carbon

The eight most feared words used together in the English language: We need to talk. Th
I keep thinking, just because someone is sick, you don't throw them under the bus.
That whole train of thought of not walking away from someone who is *sick* caused me to remain in my M for far too long because I was looking at that concept in the wrong way. Once I finally realized that my (now)stbx wasn't bothering to help *himself*, then I knew that I had to get the heck away from him for my own emotional well-being.
And stu, just a quick word about SI. Always remember that you take what you want and *leave* the rest. There are many people here, from many walks of life and many different circumstances. All of us have good days and bad....sometimes our responses are *spot-on* (quite often, actually ), but there are times when someone is having a shit day or in a shit mood or just <whatever>. Just shrug it off and carry on.
This really is the best place to talk to people who have been in situations similar to your own. This really is the type of stuff that no one can understand unless they've actually *been* there.
Have you spoken to your BF since the new revelations?
In my effort to be *concise*, I often come off as blunt and harsh. Sorry, don't mean to be offensive.
You know, SI is a sacred place to a lot of us. It gets us through some of the darkest points in our lives. Being able to come to this forum openly and honestly is extremely important. People are taking time out of their lives to try to act as a support to one another, be genuine, offer guidance.
From Phantom Limb. Believe it or not, sometimes someone who, for whatever reason, decides to take advantage of that pain and suffering. They will make up a story just to get reactions. There was a poster here who actually decided it would be *neat* to post as both the wayward and betrayed. It( I refuse to dignify the troll with a human identifier) actually put together a convincing enough story that members here actually began to fracture and pit one against another. Many hurt feelings were created and thus, many here are wary of stories that just seem
it was crazy fiction; who could live that lie?
Some of the posters are reacting to exactly that. That's also why you saw the reaction of the moderator.
Frankly, my life has not always been a bowl of cherries. At 16, I was going to school with twin girls. Their father owned a *Gentlemens Club*. He didn't care if I and about 6 of my buddies went in and played pool and drank. Really fine specimen of humanity in retrospect. Other things were available(all the drugs you mentioned and then some) But for the Grace of God, I didn't partake in those, but some of my friends did. I digress. The women who worked there. Well, they would reach a point where their *skills* burned out. They either completely went down the tubes, or tried to go straight. You know, find a guy, get married have kids and leave *the life* behind them. The problem with doing that? Well, the guys who were somewhat experienced in *worldly* ways, quickly smelled a rat. They would quickly bail. They would see through all the behaviors pointed out to you that you missed. The only solution? Target the innocent. Guys who haven't been around the block. I believe you said you were a virgin when you met? Prime material for her. She could *start again*. The issue with that is, dealing with everything she had done/been through requires intense therapy. Without it, old habits begin to recur. Abuse victims often will attempt to recreate the *bad situation* and hope for a better outcome.
Anyway, point is that there are people here who have gone out of their way to help. Others have a hard time believing for the reason quoted above. Personally, I will believe someone needs help and will respond to the best of my ability as will many others here. Again, we've got your back.
There's an axiom thrown around here all the time. *Take what you need, leave the rest*.
Whatever your choice is Stu, I wish you nothing but goodwill.
Sending strength to you to help you through these difficult times.

You are putting your oxygen mask on first.
Like they suggest on the plane- you can't help your kid if you are passed out from lack of oxygen because you didn't put on the mask first.
Another IC told my wife that just because she met my supposed to be friend for months, had sex, it wasn't necessarily an affair?? We are on her third now, you will find the one that is very helpful.
For your sake, I wish your story wasn't true, it is unbelievable to think of the extent you have been betrayed. If it is not, I still have benefited from some of the reflections upon my own situation.
Is Crazy wrong in calling this out, are you so gullible that you have been duped for 10 years? In my case for 32 years since the affair and I still do not know how long it lasted. For Crazy, he was duped for 2 1/2 years. The length of time is not important, the actions of our spouses and support we gain is. Yours situation is extreme, you seem really calm and perhaps it is this calm that adds to the skepticism.
Where I have a question, is although your wife probably has more truths to bring forward, she now seems to be telling some pretty scary stuff about herself and her marriage to you. Also in a rather calm fashion? I wonder of her motive at this point?
I believe your wife remains very connected to Adonis, and suspect her connection with him has grown over the years. She knew she was trying to get pregnant with him as she took precautions with you. There is really something very wrong about this side of the story.
I also believe that if your wife travelled and stayed over night, she probably has more to disclose.
Time to out Adonis, and your friend. As to the guys who came around for your wife (kids events), too much risk that the outing would come back to your kids.
I wish you added strength, I hope you protect yourself and your kids, if this is true it is going to get much worse.
There will be pros and cons to each side of the argument. But what you really have to ask yourself is: "Which method feels right?" Or: "Do both methods feel right?"
There have been great supporters who give excellent insight here on SI. Occasionally, there are comments that make someone feel uncomfortable, or may feel out of line. And to counter that, there are often stories of ICs who give terrible advice, and have no idea of how to deal with infidelity. Hence the "take what you want, and leave the rest" theory that is preached here.
I am all for professional counseling. I am also all for this site. They can be used as sounding boards for differing advice. But ultimately, you need to feel comfortable. You need to believe that you are taking the correct steps---not just being told something that makes you feel good(or bad). That often makes things difficult, because we want to *hear* some things so badly, that we make poor judgements due to those needs. This is where you need to be careful.
My advice?
Listen to both IC and SI. If you become disconnected with one or the other, then you should look at other potential options. I know that this place is great...it took me through my darkest times, and made me deal with that elephant in the room that I was trying so hard to ignore. I know by your past posts that you have received, and acted on, sound advice. I have also read advice on this thread that does not help your current situation. But in my opinion, it is easy to decipher help...and easy to decipher frustration/antagonism.
No matter what, I am sure that your IC will agree to some certain things preached here:
--You have to work on yourself. After all, that is what this is all about.
--You can't fix your wife. You can absolutely try to guide her to make the correct steps, but ultimately, it is up to her to do the hard work to change herself.
--The best chance for reconciliation is to try to keep the lines of communication open. Let her continue to talk. Let her know that while you want to attempt to save the marriage, there are no guarantees. But the best chance to do so, is to communicate.
--There is no chance to save this marriage without honesty. ZERO. The days of blissful ignorance are over. There are dozens of issues that need to be addressed, but if the trickling of truth continues, the marriage is virtually destined to fail.
If your IC is not in agreement with these issue, then we have a problem. These are common sense issues---and are the most important. If ANYONE tells you differently...and I don't care who it is...then they do not have your best interests in mind. But I am sure that you already know this.
Keep plugging away, Stu.
Honestly, what other options do you really have at this point? You can't run away from yourself.
Good luck, friend.
All work and no play has just cost me my wife--Gary Puckett
D-Day: 9/18/09 D-Day#2: 2/19/10 The Marriage Killer: 6/6/11
Heading for D
If your wife was really the town siren, I should imagine it would be very difficult to remain married to her. Her sexual excesses seem beyond forgiveness and so disrespectful to you.
Sorry for all of your pain. So,she finds out BF is going to be free, and suddenly she want to make sure you both survive whether together or individually. Sounds to me like she is hoping to trade you in for BF.
Keep you powder dry, I fear your journey has just begun.
Strength to you.
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then --- Bob Seger
She's given you permission to speak to her doctor. Which doctor....her medical doctor or her psych doctor?
Have you had any contact with your BF since these new revelations came to light?
I need more time to process all the events Ive just learned; Ill do it when I think the time is right.
Great answer.
I spoke to lawyer, I didnt tell her I was seeing one.
Another good one.
Right now Im holding off on DNA testing of our children.
Damn, three for three. It could become an issue though. Medical issues come to mind. Parental histories play a huge role in healthcare decisions. Second, in case of D, where does that leave you in terms of custody/visitation.
She said she would be there if I wanted, but she told the doctor he could discuss anything he wanted and signed a paper giving him permission.
Grand slam. However, not a primary concern. You know that I'm going to say work on you first, right?
(whats the truth, it keeps changing)
That's why I suggested a written timeline. ONE chance.
I was reading on the internet that wives who cheat and screw around in the state of NJ can petition the courts for alimony.
Oh crap. Yep, they can. Forget what I said about determining custody. Do it now. Obviously, consult your atty yesterday. Hopefully, you won't be stuck(yes, I know they are *your* kids, but IMO, if she claims otherwise, rock, meet hard place.) if you are not the bio father. Determine paternity now. 2 entirely different ways the courts will approach this.
[This message edited by 5454real at 2:39 AM, March 22nd (Saturday)]
I was reading on the internet that wives who cheat and screw around in the state of NJ can petition the courts for alimony. They destroy the marriage and get compensated for it, its not fair.
Yup. From a fellow New Jersian, I can tell you that this state is No-Fault, so infidelity means very little. If you are willing to get down and dirty, you can contest her ability to parent her children, but otherwise, the courts look at what the status quo was for a duration leading up to filing. If you are the primary funder of this marriage, expect to continue to do so in divorce.
Yes, it sucks. But don't get too far ahead of yourself.
Like 5454 constantly states, work on you. Keep communicating. Keep gathering information, and verifying the contents. Hopefully, the picture will start to get clearer and clearer.
As for the paternity testing---if you aren't emotionally ready at the moment, so be it. But this issue will NOT go away...so please, work on gaining the strength to resolve this. If there is any positive, imagine how much of a relief it would be to you if they are biologically yours.
---Stu first.
---Children second
---Wife/marriage third
"I love my children. I'm not sure what my reaction might be if one or both aren't mine."
You raised them. Provided for them. Changed their diapers. Helped teach them language and love and everything they know of this world.
They are, as you note, innocents-- no matter what. And your value to them, your singular importance to their very sense of meaning, is paramount. Nothing can change that- nothing!
If one or both has another biological father, he is even more of a dirtbag than before-- and they are only too fortunate to have been raised by a better man. Consider them adopted, but no less worthy of your love.
Turn your anger towards its deserved targets- if you are not the biological father of one or both. You know who they are-- and what they are-- and they, not your children, are the guilty parties in this nightmarish affair.
No, Lord, she said.
And Jesus said, Neither do I. Go and sin no more.
You really can't move ahead until you know; it will eat at you during any attempted reconciliation. If the children are yours I can see you mending this marriage. If not it would be most difficult.
The wholesale adultery and lack of respect for you is profound. If the kids have been fathered by Adonis, or the BF, or one of her other casual lovers, is should be the last straw for your relationship.
You can order a test kit online, gently scrape a sample of epithelial cells from inside of the mouth, then send them off. Or take just a saliva sample depending on the vendor..
Reasonable cost.

1996 OPEN FORUM Abstracts
John Newhart RCP., F. Wayne Johnson RCP., Richard N. Channick MD. UCSD Medical Center, San Diego Ca.
INTRODUCTION:We recently embarked on a study at our institution to analyze endogenous exhaled nitric oxide (ENO). ENO is being studied for a variety of implications including its concentration relative to asthma and other pulmonary illnesses. To eliminate error in our studies due to ambient levels of nitric oxide (NO), a scrubber was fabricated to remove NO from inspired gas. It is worth noting that the ambient NO in the laboratory was 25 parts per billion (ppb). This level of background NO could easily influence ENO studies if not scrubbed. Methods: We fabricated the scrubber from a six inch long four inch I.D. clear plastic tube. We filled four inches of the tube with potassium permanganate pellets (Purafill) and two inches with activated charcoal (walnut charcoal). Ambient air is passed through the tube where Purafill converts the NO into nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and in this reaction most of the NO2 is absorbed. The gas then flows through the charcoal which absorbs the balance of the NO2. To evaluate the effectiveness of the scrubber 100ppb and 400ppb respectively were flowed through the scrubber at 81pm. Gas exiting the scrubber was analyzed with an API 200A nitrogen oxides analyzer (Advanced Pollution Instrumentation, San Diego Ca.). The analyzer's NO range was set on 0 to 500ppb. The analyzer was first calibrated with an API 700 Dynamic Dilution Calibrator for span. Zero calibration was done with a API 701 Zero Air Module. Results: Data collection utilizing a source of 100ppb NO resulted in 0ppb at the outlet of the scrubber. A source of 400ppb resulted in .1ppb. CONCLUSION: NO free air (less than 1ppb) can be easily made with a properly assembled plastic canister containing potassium permanganate and activated charcoal.

The pilot was in the final phase of the landing approach. About 5 feet over the hospital landing pad, the helicopter started to yaw left in an uncommanded fashion. The pilot countered the yaw with right anti torque pedal, which had no effect. He then rapidly lowered the collective and the helicopter landed hard and came to rest facing the opposite direction. Inspection of the helicopter revealed buckled skin on the tail boom approximately 2 feet aft of where the tail boom attaches to the rear structure. Hospital surveillance video captured the landing and showed the helicopter approach the landing spot. The helicopter then yawed left and landed facing the direction it came from. The event spanned about 4 seconds from the beginning of the yaw to the landing. The pilot stated that the winds were out of the west at 2-3 knots. Winds reported at the nearest weather reporting facility (6 miles to the southeast) at the time were 350 degrees at 7 knots. Examination of the helicopter control system revealed no anomalies and all system components functioned appropriately when tested.

The NEA Foundation Partners with Nickelodeon's The Big Help to Award $238K in Grants to Educators
WASHINGTON, DC (February 17, 2011) - The NEA Foundation announced today that it is partnering with Nickelodeon's The Big Help to award 56 grants totaling $238,000 to support public school educators' efforts to increase academic achievement and strengthen their own practice. The grants of $2,000 or $5,000 will be awarded to educators in 32 states.
For the second consecutive year, Nickelodeon is helping fund the NEA Foundation grants program through the network's The Big Help, a long-term effort to connect kids to issues and information important in their lives. The grants support the development and implementation of educators' ideas, techniques, and approaches for addressing the following areas: environmental awareness, health and wellness, students' right to a quality public education, and active community involvement.
"With these grants we are helping educators to improve their practice so students can increase their academic achievement and develop 21st century skills," said Harriet Sanford, president and CEO of the NEA Foundation. "With the additional funding from Nickelodeon, students and educators will engage in a wide variety of innovative work. For example, in Alabama, high school chemistry students will become the teachers as they perform experiments for elementary special education students with a 'magic show' that makes learning science entertaining."
"Through our ongoing partnership with the NEA Foundation, we're encouraging educators to continue to develop new teaching approaches that engage kids in the classroom," said Marva Smalls, Executive Vice President, Nickelodeon Public Affairs. "We're thrilled that these grants are supporting innovation in education, helping students learn and excel to new academic heights."
The NEA Foundation awards two primary categories of grants to public education professionals: Student Achievement Grants for initiatives to improve academic achievement and Learning & Leadership Grants for high-quality professional development activities.
The NEA Foundation has awarded more than $7 million in grants over the past decade to educators in every state in the country. Each year, the Foundation awards approximately 150 Student Achievement and Learning & Leadership grants. The Foundation awards its grants to educators three times a year. The deadline for the next review period is June 1, 2011. Descriptions of current and past recipients, online application forms, and an instructional video can be found at neafoundation.org.
In 2010, Nickelodeon launched The Big Help campaign, which aims to inspire a kid-led movement for positive change, focusing on four key issues: the environment; education; health and wellness, and community service. Over the past year, Nickelodeon has distributed $1 million through The Big Help campaign to schools and community organizations across America to help fund projects that align with our mission to empower kids to be agents of change in their own communities.
About The NEA Foundation
The NEA Foundation is a public charity supported by contributions from educators' dues, corporate sponsors, and others who support public education initiatives.We partner with education unions, districts, and communities to create powerful, sustainable improvements in teaching and learning.

A leading IVR expert, Angel will debut its revolutionary multimodal app for the iPhone (News - Alert) at SpeechTEK 2011 Europe. A part of the company's Angel 4 Customer Experience Platform, this app is designed to enhance customer experiences during multimodal transactions in visual, voice and text.
A cloud platform for self-service IVR, Angel's Multimodal iPhone application gives contact centers the ability to bring important information to customers in a convenient, timely manner. A cost-effective method of delivering multimodal customer interactions, the application promises a personalized customer experience for boosted customer retention; rapid self-service adoption rates for decreasing costs and increasing call containment; and an uptick in agent productivity.
"At Angel, our focus is on helping our enterprise customers always put their callers first and maximizing the value of their customer relationships," said Don Keane (News - Alert), vice president of marketing for Angel. "Angel Multimodal app is another example of our strategy to help enterprises solve the fundamental problem of user frustration with traditional automated call centers and transform the self-service experience with intelligent interactions to help drive down operating costs, increase revenue opportunities, maximize customer satisfaction and loyalty."
While the smartphone industry has exploded over the last several years in terms of adoption, its existence has had quite a significant impact on both our personal and professional lives. Of course, this trend is expected to accelerate in the coming years, and Angel's innovative multimodal app will help to further IVR's place in the smartphone sector.
As David Toliver, wrote in an Angel.com blog post, "By capitalizing on the increased flexibility and control that mobility brings, businesses can gain from more satisfied customers, a more effective workforce, and a distinct competitive advantage."
Contact centers, in particular, are rapidly adopting mobile IVR technology that provides anytime, anywhere communication with the mobile customer. By incorporating next-generation mobile management capabilities into smartphones, multimodality provides a more dynamic and granular management of a contact center's customer experience that has the potential to result in more sales and more receptive customers.

Ever since the first banner ad found its way online, there has been a virtual arms race between ad placement technology and ad blocking.
The latest chapter in this ongoing saga revolves around Adblock Plus, an extension that can be integrated into the Firefox browser that essentially blocks all ads. And in short, due to the fact that tools like this exist, several webmasters are now refusing to allow netizens to access their respective websites via a Firefox browser.
The New York Times recently weighed in on the issue as did Chris Soghoian of CNet, who suggested in part that,
In the end, a few things are clear: Users of advertisement-skipping technology are essentially engaged in theft of resources.
There is nothing ethically or morally wrong with an ad-blocker. It is no different than using any other technology to filter language or explicit content. No one is being harmed nor has property been destroyed or stolen (the owner was not deprived of their property).
Plain and simple: if you do not want to pay for the bandwidth and hosting charges, don't put material online. Just because you are trying to make a living does not mean anyone should partake in your business model. After all, should everyone that visits your site be required to click on one of the ads?
Furthermore, if you can't survive off an ad-based revenue model, try something else – like subscriptions – or perhaps find a different day job.
Addendum: I think there is a little confusion about my original post. I was simply criticizing the notion that content theft was occurring and not criticizing the practice of blocking those with ad blockers; there is nothing wrong with anti-blocker blocking. Therefore it would be fallacious to think either group has the moral high-ground for their specific actions.

(AP) The long-vacant Portsmouth Marine Terminal was crowded this week with deliveries of sport-utility vehicles ready to be shipped to dealerships.
Normally, the foreign-made vehicles would have been unloaded at the Newport News Marine Terminal.
But thanks to Hurricane Sandy, port officials in Hampton Roads needed to find extra space because shipments were diverted from the Port of New York-New Jersey.
The Daily Press reports there were 6,500 containers diverted from New York to Hampton Roads. Virginia Port Authority spokesman Joe Harris says those boxes are quickly going to final destinations in the New York region and to the Midwest.
But Harris says it will take at least a month to ship out all the vehicles that have to be detailed and then loaded on car-carrying trucks.

Tomzak challenges School Board Chairman on social issues
At Tuesday's City Council meeting, Mayor Tomzak spoke out on social issues in the city. In it, he challenges School Board Chairman Jarvis Bailey to address the "cause of male irresponsibility as a cause of bad decisions."
"I think they [the School Board] should develop some sensitivity to the causes of what is putting all these kids at risk," Tomzak said in a phone interview Wednesday. "I think they should take a positive stance on the topic of male responsibility. They should pay more attention to the behavior burdens that their teachers are suffering under and provide some leadership on how to approach the problem."
Here is an audio file of Mayor Tomzak's speech. It's about 20 minutes long.

The type of holiday you're looking for is in Fuengirola. How do we know this already? Well, simply because it offers every type of holiday to every type of tourist. From ancient historical attractions to authentic Spanish villages, fantastic family activities to endless golden beaches – they are all here waiting to be enjoyed.
Find the holiday you're looking for in Fuengirola
If you're just thinking of enjoying the beach during holidays in Fuengirola, you won't be disappointed. There's over 8km of Blue Flag beaches in the resort, with main beaches such as Los Boliches being incredibly long stretches of dusky golden sand. They're very flat and open too, adding to the overall feeling of spaciousness during your sunbathing.
But to only enjoy the beaches you'd be missing out on much of what holidays in Fuengirola have to offer. There's a vibrant weekly market held in the centre of town, and it's the largest in the whole of the Costa del Sol. With hundreds of stalls offering handmade souvenirs and delicacies like local honey and wine, you'll certainly find something to bring back home with you. Although perhaps what you'll treasure the most is your photographs, especially if you take a trip to the old town of Mijas.
Just 5 miles inland, the pretty mountaintop village of Mijas is encircled by greenery on all sides. The views are breathtaking – stop by at a traditional tapas restaurant and gaze into endless valleys of lemon and pine trees, their sweet smell lingering in the air. Back on lower land in Fuengirola, you can be enjoying a full cooked English breakfast at a friendly British bar less than thirty minutes later. A perfect example of how Fuengirola makes fusing old charm with new convenience seem easy.
Plenty of activities and ancient history
Holidays in Fuengirola manage to be fascinating for both visitors young and old thanks to the great variety of the activities and attractions in the area. Fuengirola has a long and distinguished past, particularly highlighted by its ancient Roman ruins and medieval castle. But as a holiday resort, it also has plenty of modern activities that are sure to delight families.
Perhaps the best activity for all ages is the Bioparc Fuengirola. This outstanding zoo is considered to be one of Europe's finest. Undergoing extensive renovation in recent years, uniquely the Bioparc encloses the animals behind thick glass instead of the usual metal bars and cages. This means you can actually interact with all kinds of exotic species – imagine looking directly into the face of a white tiger, a leopard or a mountain gorilla. All of this is possible here, and the animals can see you clearly too, making for an incredibly exciting experience. There's a wide range of species on show too, from huge crocodiles to little lemurs. The Bioparc enclosures aim to recreate the animals natural habitat as closely as possible, and the zoo is actively involved in conservation projects too. You'll also be surprised to find that it is based right in the centre of Fuengirola, close to the town hall.
Another fun family activity that's all about interaction is the Fuengirola Adventure Golf course. In a similar way to the modernity of the Bioparc, this mini-golf course has recently been updated and is kept scrupulously clean. You'll enjoy putting on trim greens surrounded by features like fountains, small lakes and mini-bunkers. Try your luck at the famous final 19th hole, where you'll win a prize for a hole in one!
The weather can be beautifully bright and warm during your holidays in Fuengirola, so why not cool off at the Mijas Aquapark. Just a few miles inland at the pretty village of Mijas, this waterpark has lots of super-fast slides as well as a wave pool and a children's play area. And here's another activity especially for the kids – the Parquelandia just by the marina. This colourful fun park has many different attractions, including trampolines, mini-golf, bumper cars and a bouncy castle. It's the perfect way to keep the kids occupied before you all go to enjoy the beach.
But for all the family-focused activities, there's a rich history within the resort too. The Sohail Castle dates back as far as 956 yet its cobbled walls and turrets are impressively still standing. Built during the Moorish occupation of Spain in medieval times, the large castle is set atop one of the highest hills on the coast of Fuengirola. Climb to the top and you'll see old cannons looking out on the endless blue of the Mediterranean Sea. The courtyard is so large, in the summer it's actually used as the setting for live concerts by international singers.
Fuengirola's history dates even further back than medieval times, all the way back to the Romans in fact. You can still see evidence of their settlement here at the Roman Bath House in Torreblanca, which is now just a series of cobbled circular holes dug into the ground. You'll see better preserved ancient exhibits at the Fuengirola History Museum, which features sections focused on the Moors and Visigoths, as well as the elegant Roman statue of the Venus of Fuengirola.
Finally, those of a sporting persuasion will find lots to love at the Mijas Golf Club. There are two courses here, Los Olivos and Los Lagos, both of which have wide fairways and huge lakes to make a great game of golf.
Fresh seafood and classic British dishes
The cuisine in Fuengirola is incredibly varied to represent the varied tourists that come to its shores. Thanks to the plentiful expats living in the area, you'll find it incredibly easy to pick out some friendly bars and restaurants serving classic British food. And even the British eateries make the most of the fresh local produce – shepherd's pie tastes even better thanks to the flavourful ingredients! Steaks are also a popular choice, and the Latin connection of Spain has seen authentic Argentinean steakhouses open in Fuengirola.
With Fuengirola being a coastal town, it also has something of a speciality in seafood. In keeping with classic Andalusian cuisine, fresh fish such as squid and prawns are deep-fried in a light olive oil batter. So it should come as no surprise that Fuengirola actually has a food-quarter called Fish Alley. However, the street has actually expanded to include all kinds of restaurants, so you're just as likely to find an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet as a sumptuous seafood restaurant.
For the most authentic Spanish food, however, you'd be best off heading inland to Mijas Pueblo. This whitewashed mountaintop village is just five miles inland, yet it has a completely different atmosphere to coastal Fuengirola. Think of narrow streets chequered red and white, and ornate balconies with overflowing flower baskets. Luckily, alongside these picturesque scenes, there are some excellent tapas restaurants serving classic dishes like chorizo in red wine, and aubergine in a rich tomato sauce.
There's always the option to go all inclusive in Fuengirola too. The Hi! Hotel Gardenia Park available with Jet2holidays is just seconds from a golden beach and offers all inclusive food and drink for all guests. On the other hand, stay at the half-board Hotel IPV Beatriz Palaca & Spa and you won't have to worry about hunting down good restaurants for your evening meals.
A beach for every district
The most central, and therefore most convenient beach in Fuengirola is called Las Gaviotas. Its dark golden sand stretches in a straight, flat line for around 1.2km and it's 40m wide too. That means you should have plenty of space for sunbathing, even during the busier summer season. Bars, restaurants and high-rise hotels dominate the beachfront at Las Gaviotas, meaning you're never too far away from the conveniences of modern life. Look a little further though, and you should be able to spot the white sugar cube houses of Mijas in the distance.
Adjoing Los Gaviotas to north-east is the most popular beach in Fuengirola, Los Boliches. This wide, sandy stretch is very similar to Los Gaviotas and it's also very well supported by facilities such as showers, toilets and coastal guards. Los Boliches is favoured by many because it's also very close to the beachfront hotels in the resort, plus the gently shelving sand and calm waters make the beach very safe for children too.
The furthest south of Fuengirola's four main beaches is Santa Amalia. Stretching for 1.4km, it's one of the longest beaches in Fuengirola and it has the same wide open spacious feel this part of the coastline enjoys. Watersports are also well represented at this beach, and you can have fun out to sea with everything from pedaloes to jet-skis.
As a change of scene, perhaps the most notably different section of the coastline is simply named Fuengirola Beach. It's only 350m long, but in contrast to the straight flat strips of sand at the other beaches, this one curves into an arc that leads towards the Fuengirola Marina. Sunbathing at this beach is also convenient if you want to enjoy the top seafood restaurants nearby.
Lively nights or traditional evenings out
Fuengirola is famed for its lively nightlife, and the bars around the beachfront certainly don't disappoint. The great characteristic of Fuengirola is that it's compact enough to easily wander from bar to bar, so even if you only drink within the marina area, you'll have a range of nightspots to choose from. Starting with the marina, a wide, clean palm-tree lined promenade follows it along this section this coastline, making bar-hopping easy and stress free. Some of the best bars we'd recommend in the area include Beetle Bar (where the DJ booth is actually housed in a replica Beetle car) and London Pub, which is kitted out in the cosy style of British pubs back home. Living up to its reputation as party central, some of the clubs in Fuengirola don't get started until midnight, and they're well worth a visit to experience the lively atmosphere. Further inland from the marina, the Oasis club should be first on your party list, as its state-of-the-art sound and lightning system led to it being chosen for a Basshunter video.
But it doesn't have to be all about partying in Fuengirola. There are some far more relaxed family-friendly bars with a real focus on entertainment. Along the beachfront and in some of the quieter parts of the marina you'll come across bars with live singing, karaoke and Sky TV. Some of the bars have even updated to feature Wii and Xbox set-ups so you can play with your family and friends on huge widescreen projectors!
For a more authentic evening out, head to the hilltop town of Mijas, nestled just behind the beachfront. It's just a short five mile journey inland to this idyllic Spanish village that sits almost 500m above sea level. If you plan to go there in the evening, try to arrive before sunset, so you can see the amber sun fade amongst the lemon trees and pine-covered mountains. With such a scene it's not surprising many artists and writers choose to settle here to aid their creative inspiration. Stroll around the village at night and stop by to drink at the terrace of one of the tiny bars here. The Boveda del Flamenco is an interesting bar to choose, as you may not realise it from its welcoming atmosphere and ornate iron chairs and tables, but it used to be the village's jail!

PLYMOUTH — It was deja vu all over again as the big inning made all the difference in each of Plymouth's losses at its home regional Saturday.
At the end of a back-and-forth battle between Post 27 and South Bend Post 50 in an extra-inning contest at Bill Nixon Field Saturday morning, South Bend tied it up in the bottom of the ninth on a two-out, two-strike RBI single by Alex Kohler and took the lead for good with a seven-inning 10th frame to trump Plymouth 18-13.
In the loser's bracket, Post 27 battled it out through seven more nip-tuck innings with Bristol Post 161 but ultimately succumbed 13-6 after a six-run eighth by the visitors in the nightcap.
"The eighth inning killed us," said Post 27 head coach Tony Plothow. "We couldn't find the strike zone. We had a lot of kids tired today. We battled back. No excuse, everybody is doing the same thing, but it was tough having that 10 inning loss in the morning game and then trying to come back and playing a little bit for pride, and we just couldn't get it done.
"We just came up short, not with effort, but with talent and energy a little bit today."
After James Hackworth's three-hitter in the regional opener Friday night, Post 27 ran out of pitching trying to get it done by committee in both of its losses on a sweltering Saturday.
Sean Liedtky gave up just four runs through five innings in the morning game, and Plymouth took a 7-4 lead with five runs in the bottom of the fifth before a three-run sixth by South Bend tied the game up for the second time. Post 27 plated four more in the bottom of the seventh but Jacob Eaton surrendered three runs in the seventh and Cory Krider gave up the tying run in the top of the ninth to force extra innings before Post 50's big 10th.
Jordan Scheetz kept Plymouth in the second game as he surrendered seven runs off 10 hits through seven innings, but Ben Saliwanchik struggled with his command taking over in the eighth, walking five batters and hitting another to score four two-out Bristol runs before Aaron Christenberry moved over from first with the bags loaded. T.J. Miller looped a two-run single into shallow center to scratch out Post 161's final runs and put the game effectively out of reach.
Plymouth closes its season at a creditable 19-16, including a second-place finish at its first annual Patriot Tournament over the 4th of July weekend. The team bids goodbye to Christenberry, third baseman Sean Rogers, catcher Kyle Cartwright, pitcher Cory Krider and short stop Evan Jurjevic, who was sidelined throughout the regional with a sore throwing arm.
"These guys have battled all year. We had a nice little winning streak at the beginning of the season getting ready for the tournaments and had some good action at the tournaments we played in," said Plothow.
"We look back and we've had a lot of fun with these guys; we're going to be sorry to see some of these guys go. We built a lot of good relationships with other schools, and I know the kids do. We're going to start next year with a new team, but we're going to be sorry to see some of these guys — two and three-year players for us — not come back."
Krider and Chase Peters each doubled for Plymouth in the morning game Saturday, while Sean Knepper doubled and Brody Andrews homered in the nightcap.
At Plymouth
• BRISTOL POST 161 13,
Bristol: 300 120 160 — 13 13 1

New Van Gogh pic discovered using German atom-smasher
There may be some readers out there who aren't entirely clear just what synchrotrons - enormous, kilometre-wide magnetic doughnuts used to thrash electrons within an inch of their lives - are actually for. Today, the news furnishes us with a partial answer - you can use a synchrotron to see old paintings hidden beneath other …
Good use of science
So while the mysteries of particle physics remain untouched, we now know that Van Gough liked to scribble out crap paintings.
Good use of a multi-billion dollar facility if you ask me!
Mines the one with the magnetic doughnuts in the pocket.
Some great use of our English Language there
"thrash electrons within an inch of their lives"
And general use of the word "Boffin", excellent!
The article reads like a mash-up between New Scientist and the VIZ, well done sir.
So can this method be used on LPs as well, could we find some new refreshing guitar solo or maybe an uttered swear word due to a dropped drum stick incident buried under the thick layer of vinyl?
Gawd bless science!
Two Van Gogh's...
for the price of one.
Now, if the boffins can find some way of actually separating the two paintings, that should just about cover their costs.
Re-used canvas.
"Mr Van Gogh, have you got any second hand canvases that you can use for a new painting?"
"Yes, I've got one 'ere."
Mine is the paint-stained overall.
DESY has systems for particle physics and systems for X-ray science. I think you will find that no particle physics was harmed during the discovery of the hidden picture.
Re scribbling out crap paintings - he died too young - I been to the museum in Amsterdam and its full of crap paintings of his.
the benefits of science to art
I think this is exciting stuff. Science once again proves that it can provide humanity with uses far beyond its own boundaries. Monet, when young, was so poor that he had to paint over his older canvases. Some he scraped clean, some he didn't. To be able to see a genius's early works as he defines his own style would be extremely interesting. Again, older masters' works could be studied; an x-ray (I think) of Rembrandt's 'Bathsheba' revealed his alterations of the first image, bringing it through many re-thinks to its current form, which is a subtle portrayal of a woman who both repents and will not give up her lover, and who, indeed, cannot, for he is the God-chosen king. To learn a little of Rembrandt's technique was a true gift, and now science can offer us so much more. Worth every single penny.
Grassist !
I wonder how excited everyone would be if a hitherto unseen painting
of a patch of grass had been found beneath a famous Van Gogh portrait?
.....Paris (beneath the penguin pic)
A question for the local physicists
Don't you ever - even for a tiny moment - want to stand in front of a particle accelerator and see if you'll get superpowers?
re: Two Van Gogh's...
and both of them look like they were painted by a 10 year old
i've never been able to see what make's Van Gogh's work so celebrated - if he hadn't be banging the ho and slicing his ear off, would anyone have ever noticed his work?
Two pictures?
or maybe just one super realistic rendering of VvG's back garden after a previous lover got a "Brookside Patio" job done on her?
Not to be Monk-ish, but
Does anyone else get the creepy suspicion that if you take Van Gogh's know use of imagery and symbolism, that putting a woman's portrait under a "Patch of Grass", you might think that maybe there was a woman that he DID put under a patch of grass? As in murder?
I wonder if they'll show up lots of ...
... bums, tits, fannies and willys?
There's not many of those in his paintings, I bet he did lots of them thought, then got all embarrassed and painted over them, then chopped off his ear lobe, sent it to another famous painter and shot himself in a field.
I reckon under his famous sunflowers, there's some naughty bits just waiting to be exposed!
Paris, because her naughty bits are over exposed.
RE:A question for the local physicists
I don't think they have the imagination :-) I would though, but that is probably why I would never be let near such things.
@Mike Richards
What local physicists??! You mean there are some left on the island? If so dont tell labour - they will get them to leave very shortly... :(
@Mike Richards
I've not done it myself, but some of my Caltech physicist friends have stuck their heads in the high power magnets of a synchrotron. A static magnetic field would have no effect, provided you have no iron fillings. However, by turning ones head, the field is no longer static as far as the brain is concerned and generates small currents directly inside. Colors and tastes were reported.
Fire for Ricketts Hovse
"Meanwhile there will no doubt be some grumblers who feel that, while an unknown Van Gogh picture is very nice, it may not quite provide total justification for the costs of building and running synchrotrons."
Don't most 'grumblers' object to paying for their grumble-materials and simply download them off the internet's many and varied sources.
Paris as she makes for a far cheaper grumble than a synchrotron...
@Joseph Haig
I Don't care what anyone else says.. You sir, are a comedy genius.
So DORIS shows up a femaile pic?
Come on, you haven't grasped it yet - another ROTM! The thing has become sentient and is simply drawing some new pictures - and scientists believe it.
Tsk tsk tsk..
there's too many stupid folks who can't see beyond the painting to the extra knowledge gained and other things it might yield. pity more that dolts don't even want to fund experimentation to find out more stuff in the first place.
I, for one, welcome our atom-smashing overlords.
Big question
Why did they look for a painting under another painting (unless they knew it was there already). Did van Gogh do this to all his paintings ?
It's all a conspiracy I tell you
How about a link?
High res pics and a bit more scence...
@Mike Richards
Of course ALL physicists have super powers - or at least they think they do.
This is a local laboratory for local physicists
Of course physicists have special powers. The power to make anyone feel stupid by spouting complete rubbish like 'super-cephalic-transition' and then asking if that went over your head?
The verdict of history
History will value this discovery of a hidden van Gogh far more highly than all the high energy physics ever done, now or in the future.
A good haiku is worth more than all the books ever written about quantum mechanics.
More synchrotrons, and be snappy about it!
Ballmer #1 'cause the halo has a funny synchrotronish look to it.
Cerca, trova
How funny would have it been if there was a crudely drawn knob underneath.
big words
Hmmm... you used "synchrotron" but not "palimpsest". I'm only moderately disappointed, though...
Unnecessary fuss over re-using canvas
In my previous job as Delphi developer, I frequently redrew images on the same canvas.
@Andrew Kaluzniacki
AFAIK the jury is still out on what part magnetism plays in memory and/or brain functioning. If memory is based (at least partly) on magnetism then generating strong magnetic fields in the brain might corrupt memory. The worst part is the poor person probably wouldn't even notice (unless the corruption was so bad they got diagnosed with some form of amnesia). In any case you won't find me turning my head in any strong magnets.

Federal officials and technologists who pushed to advance continuous monitoring cybersecurity capabilities are hoping the awarding of 17 continuous diagnostics and mitigation contracts this summer is the beginning of more efficient -- and less expensive -- IT operations for federal, state and local agencies.
"CDM can change the way government does security," said Mark Weatherford, former deputy undersecretary for cybersecurity at the Department of Homeland Security. Weatherford joined a group of current and ex-DHS officials at an Oct. 29 Chertoff Group event who said the blanket purchase agreements awarded this past summer to 17 vendors could allow agencies to save billions in labor costs, as well as provide better security information.
When the Homeland Security Department was first working on blanket purchase agreements for monitoring IT security, former Deputy Secretary Jane Holl Lute saw that the name —"continuous monitoring"— might be a problem. Some members of Congress, said Mark Weatherford, former DHS deputy undersecretary for cybersecurity, took "continuous monitoring" to mean DHS was developing a program to watch U.S. citizens all the time.
After the misunderstanding was explained, Weatherford said, Holl Lute ordered that the alternate term "continuous diagnostics and mitigation," or CDM, should be used exclusively.
Weatherford, now a principal at the Chertoff Group, joined John Streufert, director of Federal Network Resilience in the department's National Protection and Programs Directorate, and former DHS CIO Richard Spires in explaining how CDM would benefit a wider audience.
DHS is preparing to issue task orders for services under the BPAs, choosing which tools and capabilities it wants to deploy, said Streufert. It will provide continuous monitoring as a service for other federal, state and local agencies, looking to put a common set of technical tools in place incorporating national and industry standards to help detect network anomalies in real-time, speeding the ability respond to problems.
Although the overall CDM program is overseen by the General Services Administration, the BPAs were established on behalf of the DHS Office of Cybersecurity and Communications Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation Program. The program, according to GSA, brings an enterprise approach to continuous diagnostics and allows consistent application of best practices.
Providing more effective, uniform security monitoring capabilities, said Streufert, could save billions. Traditionally, he explained, federal agency CIOs spend 70 percent to 80 percent of their IT budgets to maintain systems and on labor to manually test and report on security and operations of their systems.
Streufert, Weatherford and Spires said CDM has to sink in not only at the technical levels at government agencies, but also into business operations. CDM bolsters government agencies that are looking to simplify IT architecture, including moving IT services to the cloud and consolidating data centers as part of a more efficient business plan.
DHS is also looking to extend continuous monitoring beyond just networks and IT gear to agency personnel in the coming year.
Streufert said DHS is working with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Lincoln Laboratory on ways to score IT workers' access privileges with an eye toward securing networks and capabilities even more.
IT privileges are complex within organizations, and establishing a standardized way to provide privileges and security is not an easy job, Streufert said. Creating a mathematical weight that takes into account the potential damage a person might cause within a system could be a way to accommodate some of the complexity.

Chinese tech 'in place' for underwater rail links
A China-US railway is just one of four ambitious projects the country is thinking about undertaking, according to the Beijing Times.
One line would connect China to London with stops in Paris, Berlin, and Moscow, while another would link the country to countries like Iran and Turkey.
A fourth line, meanwhile, would stretch from China to Singapore, stopping in Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and Malaysia.
According to the state-run China Daily, the tunnel technology is "already in place" and will be used to build a high-speed railway between the south-east province of Fujian and Taiwan.
"The project will be funded and constructed by China," it said. "The details of this project are yet to be finalised."
China 'in discussions' over Beijing-US rail link
The Chinese Academy of Engineering have outlined a plan to connect the world by high-speed rail, including an underwater link to the US running for 8077 miles - The Beijing Times reports.
The 'China to Russia plus the United States' line proposed by would start in the north east of China, travel up through Siberia, across the Bering Strait to Alaska and down through Canada before reaching the contiguous US.
The underwater track would be the world's longest undersea tunnel, four times the length of the Channel Tunnel.
Wang Mengshu, a railway expert at the Chinese Academy of Engineering said:
"Right now we're already in discussions. Russia has already been thinking about this for many years."
Hedge fund manager repays £43,000 dodged train fares
A hedge fund manager has been revealed as the UK's biggest fare dodger after being made to pay back nearly £43,000 in unpaid fares and legal costs..
The man, who has not been named, spent five years using an Oyster card to 'tap out' of ticket barriers at London's Cannon St station without paying the full price of his journey from the East Sussex village of Stonegate.
After being caught by a ticket inspector, he was ordered to repay £42,550 and £450 in legal costs as part of an out-of-court settlement, according to reports in the Kent and Sussex Courier.
Rail disruption compensation: What you're entitled to

Calls for cash compensation for delayed rail passengers
Delayed rail passengers should be compensated in cash rather than vouchers, watchdog group Passenger Focus said.
Chief executive of the group David Sidebottom said the main reason passengers contact them are over concerns to do with train delays, refund conditions and levels of compensation.
Mr Sidebottom said the group would like to see compensation regime improvements in new rail franchises being introduced over the next few months. Rail minister Stephen Hammond welcomed the findings of the report by the Office of Rail Regulation. He said:
"I am determined that passengers have the best possible experience on our railways so I welcome the ORR report.
"Our new franchising agreements are ensuring that more-generous compensation schemes are in place for passengers and it is essential they know how to claim. I will continue to push operators to do all they can to make sure passengers are fully aware of their rights."
Train compensation a 'problem that needs addressing'
A rail watchdog has described the regulators findings as "concerning" and said that more needs to be done to alert rail passengers to their refund and compensation rights for disrupted services.
When trains are delayed or cancelled, it is important that passengers are made aware of their rights to a refund or compensation.
It is of concern that as many as 75% of rail passengers 'do not know very much' or 'nothing at all' about their rights.
This is a problem that needs addressing. The top issues raised by passengers contacting us regularly include train delays, refund conditions and levels of compensation.
'Most train passengers unaware of refund rights'
More than three-quarters of train passengers are unaware of their compensation and refund rights when trains are delayed or cancelled, according to a report by rail regulators.
A survey and study groups revealed more than 75% of rail passengers "do not know very much" or "nothing at all" about what they are entitled to when services are disrupted.
The Office of Rail Regulation report also showed that 74% of the passengers questioned said that train companies do "not very much" or "nothing at all" to proactively provide information about compensation when there are delays.

Hi there =o
Okay, I have a ton of different comparison questions I haven't quite been able to decide on. Mostly end-game choices. We're at Council now, so I might as well aim for what's best, especially since Gems are quite expensive DKP-wise within our guild.
There HAS to be a lot of people who need this information sorted out. I ask the forums, in public, other warriors etc. No one really has an answer. I've outlined most of the gear questions I think aren't obvious, as I know someone will want to know.
Let's start things off with Protection gear.
I think the biggest part of deciding your protection gear, is trying to figure out which 4 pieces of T6 you would like to get.
Ideally, I'm thinking Chest, Gloves, Legs and Shoulders. Saving your head piece for Faceplate of the Impenetrable.
But, that's going to be awhile for now, and T6 Gloves/Helm are a lot more accessible than Illidan, so perhaps Helm, Gloves, Shoulders and Legs for now.
Okay, so that's out of the way...
Next up, is ranged weapon. I'm currently using the Engineering gun with a 8 hit rating gem in it. I use this almost all the time, switching to Rifle of the Stoic Guardian when I need more avoidance instead of threat.
One thing I noticed, is most guilds have their tanks using Legionkiller instead, I haven't even considered it, as it's dropped a lot and I've just ignored it. Perhaps I should keep my eyes on it.
Then, there's the cloak situation. Pepe's for it's massive amount of hit versus A'lars for its mitigation. Situational? Perhaps...
Enchants are also a huge question. Gloves and Cloak to be specific. For gloves I think the choice would be either Threat or Agility, leaning towards Agility.
For cloak, this is the hard one. Armor was generally the consensus as to what's better, but lately you armory the people who have obtained Pepe's and the majority have Agility on it. I've got it just sitting here waiting to be enchanted, wondering what I should do with it.
So, that clears up tanking, next up is fury DPS. I'm a prot warrior, so I have less knowledge in this area, so this one's harder for me to figure out. o_O
The Fury DPS item guide is very well written and good to follow, I used it for everything up to the recent haste nerf. But the problem is, now with the haste nerf, how have things changed?
The guide lists haste-heavy items as top of the list, usually with a big gap, followed by the non-haste version of the tier.
One common question I ask myself, is RBoB vs Belt of Seething Fury. I put a crit and a str/stam gem in the RBoB, I know a lot put double Crit, but it's debatable.
Next piece that's confusing is the neck piece. I have Serrated Blades, so I'm going to stick with that one for now.
Gloves, Silent Justice vs Pillagers. I liked Pillagers before the haste change, but perhaps Silent are better now?
Cloak, Terons no doubt, but I won't have access to that one for a long, long time. I'm currently using Arathi Kings, would it be worth it to upgrade to Vengeance Wraps?
Rings are big too. I've got a Mithril Band of the Unscarred as well as a Band of Devastation. I could probably pick up another Devastation if I wanted... Like I said, I'm prot, so on non-plate pieces I don't have much choice on what I can get.
As for weapons, I was aiming towards Rising Tide and Swiftsteel Bludgeon. It's probably still the best even with the haste it has.
Eh. That is it for gear. The next question I have, is Blacksmithing vs Enchanting. I currently have JC and one open slot (I dropped mining). As it stands now, I would prefer enchanting for the ring bonuses, but you never know what will be released with the Sunwell.
Also, I'm not sure how the BT BS recipes compare to their boss-dropped counterparts.
Thanks a ton for reading this, let's get this settled!

Injected Methods Show Up in Object Metadata in Railo but not ColdFusionCFML , ColdFusion , Railo Add comments
I recently had a chance to listen to the latest edition of the This Week in ColdFusion Podcast wherein design patterns are discussed. One of the design patterns that Brian Carr talks about in the podcast is the Decorator Pattern. As an example, Brian describes how you can use the dynamic nature of ColdFusion to assign a function to a variable and then add that function to an object at runtime (this is also known as "method injection"). Bob Silverberg, who was a guest on the podcast then asked Brian whether the injected method would show up in the object's metadata if you called the getMetaData() function on it. Brian didn't know for sure, but he and Bob agreed that it was unlikely. This piqued my curiosity, so I set about to test this myself.
First, I built a very simple component -- person.cfc
<cfcomponent> <cffunction name="init" access="public" returntype="any"> <cfset variables.name = "Tony Garcia" /> <cfreturn this /> </cffunction> </cfcomponent>
This component only has an init() method, which sets variables.name to "Tony Garcia" and returns the instance.
Next, I wrote this template called injectiontest.cfm.
<cffunction name="testMethod" access="public" returntype="string"> <cfreturn variables.name /> </cffunction> <cfset tony = createObject( "component","person" ).init() /> <cfdump var="#getMetaData( tony )#" label="Before Injection" /> <cfset getName = testMethod /> <cfset tony.getName = getName /> <cfdump var="#getMetaData( tony )#" label="After Injection" /> The name is: <cfoutput> #tony.getName()# </cfoutput>
It's pretty clear what's going on here. First I define a function named "testMethod". Then I create an instance of person.cfc and dump out its metadata. I then assign testMethod() to a variable and inject it into my object using the name "getName" for the method (since that's what it does). I dump the metadata again after the injection and then just test the method itself by outputting its return value.
Here is the output of the dump before injection using ColdFusion 9:
As expected, only the init() method appears in the array of functions. This is the dump after the method injection:
The only function that appears is still the init() method. So Brian and Bob were correct in their suspicions. But then, since I work alot with Railo, I decided to run the code in Railo 3.1. Here is the dump before the method injection (now I'm just showing the functions element):
Again, we only see the init() function. But notice that the dump gives us some more info about the function compared to the CF9 dump. Take special note of the "owner" element, which is the path to the cfc.
Now here is the dump after the method injection:
So the Railo dump of the object's metadata does indeed include the injected method! Another interesting observation is that the name given for the method is "testMethod", not "getName", so it uses the original name of the function that was injected, not the name it was assigned to in the object. Also, note that the "owner" element is the path to the template where the injected method was defined. So if you're doing some fancy programming against metadata, the "owner" element may be used to check whether the method in question is built-in to the object or was injected.
Anyway, I thought this was pretty interesting so I thought I'd share.

Brian Carr Says:
Apr 1, 2010 at 10:11 PM I'm very glad you decided to do that research Tony. I'm also thrilled to see that Railo properly describes object instance meta-data correctly. Now if it only supported full-script components and interfaces :-)
Sean Corfield Says:
Apr 1, 2010 at 11:21 PM Interesting! I didn't know that Railo updated the metadata dynamically!
As for full-script - it's coming... we had argument types and defaults a long time ago and we've recently added function access and return types. Component and interface syntax, along with the new operator is planned "soon".
Ben Nadel Says:
Apr 2, 2010 at 6:16 AM Does Railo also have a getComponentMetaData() method? In CF, this allows the meta data to be gotten from the class definition, rather than from an instance. I ask because I wonder if Railo has any concept of meta data of the class itself?
In CF, all instances share the same meta data object.

Yep -- I've used getComponentMetadata() in Railo with no problems.
Ben Nadel Says:
Apr 2, 2010 at 7:04 AM @Tony,
Ah pretty cool then. I guess you can use getComponentMetaData() to get root class meta data and getMetaData() to get run time meta data. Seems like a sweet deal.
Tony Garcia Says:
Apr 2, 2010 at 7:07 AM Yeah. I guess, then, the title of the blog post is a bit misleading since I was really talking about the metadata of the object, not the component
Ben Nadel Says:
Apr 2, 2010 at 7:10 AM @Tony,
I didn't mean to imply anything about the title - just curious about the differences in Railo. In CF, getMetaData() and getComponentMetaData() return the same exact thing for a CFC. So, to me, it seems cool that Railo differentiates.
Tony Garcia Says:
Apr 2, 2010 at 8:28 AM I went ahead and changed the title anyway. Technically, I think "object metadata" is more accurate than "component metadata".
Ben Nadel Says:
Apr 2, 2010 at 8:41 AM Sounds good to me :)
Brian Carr Says:
Apr 2, 2010 at 3:31 PM @Sean
Full CF syntax / API support in Railo would be a dream come true :-). Needless to say (although I'll say it) I'm very happy to hear that it's close.
Brad Wood Says:
Apr 2, 2010 at 4:46 PM I've noticed this in Adobe CF and always considered it a bug. It's worth nothing, that structKeyExists(myObject,"injectedMethodName") WILL return true. The fact that it's not reflected in the metadata to me is just wrong.
I can only assume the Adobe engineers chose to cache metadata and reuse it for all instances of a component for performance reasons.

The Queen's Gambit and Catalan for Black
A Grandmaster Explains a Solid and Dependable Repertoire Catalog Code: B0068GBEvery chess-player needs a reliable defence against the Queen's Pawn Opening. The fundamental question is whether to go all-out for counterplay, which may involve a great deal of risk, or to adopt a more solid, classical approach, and first carefully neutralize White's initiative. This book shows the potential of the latter approach. By defending the Queen's Gambit Declined, Black puts a firm road-block in the way of White's ambitions.
The Queen's Gambit and Catalan for BlackOur Price: $21.95
The Catalan Catalog Code: CB0034CDThe Catalan Opening is currently in the repertoire of most all of the world's elite players. It has even been played at the World Championship level many times! This is largely because it combines strategic pressure with possibilities for a very sharp, complicated tactical struggle. This is perfect for those who insist on decisive chess. However, there are also some quieter, more solid lines. The Catalan combines the Queen's Gambit pawn duo(d4 and c4) with the hypermodern fianchettoed KB as with 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.g3 or 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.g3. From g2, the KB strikes through the center squares e4 and d5 and beyond to c6, b7, and a8, applying pressure to Black's Queenside. Another important advantage of the Catalan is that it can be used to side step popular Black defenses such as the Nimzo-Indian and Queen's-Indian. It can also be reached by transpositions from many different move orders. This is very good against strong opposition!

PLYMOUTH — The excitement began about four years ago, when Marshall County Neighborhood Center board member Karen Barden heard about a "Dancing with the Stars" event in South Bend. Barden thought the concept of having community members vote on friends' and coworkers' dancing performances might work as a fundraiser for the Neighborhood Center. She was right — and the now-annual event brings in thousands of dollars each year.
"I think people enjoy (seeing) people they know dance, and it's very entertaining," said Barden.
PLYMOUTH – Ironically, it was just two months ago that Rick Cooper, Jr. was razzed about his comment to "What I'm Thankful For" in this publication's Thanksgiving edition.

National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch which is in effect from Thursday afternoon through Friday evening.
Lake effect snow showers are expected to form late Thursday afternoon and persist through Friday evening. Portions of Northern Indiana, generally north of highway 6 could see between 8 to 12 in., while areas further south could see 4 to 8 in. In addition, strong, gusty west to northwest winds could cause limited visibility, and blowing and drifting of snow across roads may make driving hazardous.
PLYMOUTH — The Plymouth Park Department is partnering with resident Jane Blank to collect clothing and shoe donations until Jan. 23. Donations of gently used women's, men's and children's clothing and shoes can be dropped off at the park office until Jan. 23.
Blank decided to organize a community clothing drive around Thanksgiving.
"I just thought that there is so much waste (of used clothes)," said Blank, explaining that although clothes are often donated to Goodwill and other similar organizations, "some people can't afford the five dollars or whatever it is to buy from Goodwill."
