Flinger flings logs from your browser clients back to your node servers so you can see what your users are up to.
Web applications, and single page applications in particular, make it hard to see errors that are happening in client side JavaScript.
Flinger flings logs from your browser clients back to your node servers so you can see what your users are up to.
Flinger is node middleware for express or connect that does two things:
Flinger uses jQuery for HTTP back to the server. Make sure it is in your page.
Here is the most basic installation possible:
npm install flinger
var path = require'path';var express = require'express';var flinger = require'flinger';var app = express useexpresscookieParser useexpressstaticpathjoin__dirname 'client' useflinger listen9999;
Flinger serves its client library automatically as a convenience, so on the client:
This redirects, by default:
console.log(...) to server
console.error(...) to server
new Error(...) to server
Flinger lets you hook to reformat or log as you see fit, flinger really is:
flinger(onConsoleLog, onConsoleWarn, onConsoleError, onException)
Each of the
onXXX functions is:
function handler(logEvent){}
logEvent is:
request, flinger logs over HTTP, so you can get at cookies etc to
identify users and make custom logs
arguments, the javascript
arguments captured on the client
If you want to prefix the flinger log messages, say with your user session or user identifier -- we already thought of that:
return "Your User ID Here!";
Want to format your messages:
return "Your Format Here!";
Want to post to a different endpoint or have a server that doesn't live at '/'
To disable posting to server, set
flingerURL to an empty string.
You can do this anywhere you like client side. Yep, it's a global function, but did we mention that we're monkey patching console.log to make this work? Don't panic.
And you can switch things off, which will log locally but not got to the server:
console.logon = false;console.warnon = true;console.erroron = true;consoleexceptionon = true;
By default flinger will log out the error from the client. But what if you want more information from the request, or prepend something to the log output?
Flinger has that covered with augmentLog.
Usage to prepend a date for each log message, and append some request header fields:
var flinger_handler = flinger();
flinger_handler.augmentLog = function (logArguments,request) {
var stamp = new Date();
logArguments.unshift(stamp + " Client side error >> ");
logArguments.push("UserAgent : "+ request.headers['user-agent']);
logArguments.push("Referer : "+ request.headers['referer']);
// now register this handler with the middleware stack

I have another critical campaign platform suggestion for Connecticut's next candidates for governor, in addition to a promise to improve the state's grocery store choices.
I think voters would respond really well to a pledge to raise the penalties for driving while talking on a cellphone.
OK, maybe it's too late to suggest the death penalty. But, really, how about some jail time for repeat offenders?
Everyone hates it when they catch people phoning and driving. Even people who sometimes do it themselves get irate when they encounter others recklessly doing it.
You know who they are. You can tell what they are doing even before you pull alongside. The car is going very slow or weaving in and out of the lane.
Chances are phoners are in someone's way, while they chat. It's the chatters that are so annoying. It's never the quick check-in and hang-up kind of call that other drivers notice.
I think a promised crackdown on cellphone talking while driving could be a winning pledge for gubernatorial candidates.
I have a few other driving pet peeves, though not any as likely to help make someone governor.
Here are some of mine. I'm sure everyone has their own.
• Get out of the left lane if you're not going to pass. Really, it's none of your business if the guy on your tail is going too fast. And why stop with speeding? Maybe you should be a vigilante and try to stop all other crime in the state.
• Pull toward the center line if you are going to make a left turn. Could you be that insensitive to the line of traffic piling up behind you, as you wait to cross the oncoming traffic? Usually, if you get close to the center line, there is more than enough room to let people drive around.
• Use just one parking space per car. On what planet, I wonder, would it not be considered incredibly rude to greedily use two parking spaces in a crowded lot or garage? I am pretty sure that truck and SUV owners are the primary offenders. But I see a fair number of expensive imports sprawled across two spaces.
• Don't stop before you make a right turn. You can do it. Just swing the wheel and turn right and keep your foot off the brake. Slow down if you have to, but don't stop.
• Yield. The sign is very clear and it almost always appears on one lane of traffic or another when two lanes are required to merge. This is not optional. Let the other car in.
• Turn off the high beams when you are facing oncoming traffic or when coming up on someone from the rear. If one of your headlights is out, go with that. But lay off the high beams. Maybe the new governor could make an exception for offenders of this one to the law against the death penalty.
• Lay off the horn. Or at least use a honk instead of a blast.
In the event the next gubernatorial campaign gets bogged down in issues like taxes and budget deficits, I have another suggestion to address the rampant ignoring of laws against cellphone talking while driving.
Maybe some creative person could invent a device that would allow you to disable cellphones in the next car over. Maybe it could even send the person holding the phone an electric jolt.
I'm sure it would sell like crazy.
This is the opinion of David Collins.

If you're unmotivated, you have no drive. The guy who spends all day on the couch, living off the check that he got when his dog discovered dinosaur bones buried in the backyard? Clearly unmotivated.
Unmotivated, motivated, motion, and automotive — all these words are related to the Latin word motor, which means "movement." If you're unmotivated, it means you lack the internal motor that would make you get off the couch and do stuff.

Police look for suspect in Wallingford store holdupNovember 29,2013PROVIDED IMAGE
Vermont State Police released this image of the suspect in the Wallingford robbery.WALLINGFORD Vermont State Police are looking for a man suspected of robbing a Cumberland Farms store in Wallingford.
Police said the man was dressed in a dark green poncho, sunglasses and a bandanna as he approached the clerk at about 11:50 p.m. Thursday at the Route 7 store and demanded money.
The man did not display a weapon, but kept his hand under the poncho, indicating he had one.
A police dog tracked the suspect behind the store, finding the bandanna and some cash on the railroad tracks.

Assisted Housing:
Occupancy Restrictions On Persons With Disabilities
RCED-99-9: Published: Nov 12, 1998. Publicly Released: Nov 12, 1998.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-7631
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO provided information on Sections 651 and 658 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 and its effects on nonelderly persons with disabilities, focusing on the: (1) extent to which the occupancy policies of eligible projects restrict occupancy to the elderly and the portion of units in eligible projects actually occupied by nonelderly persons with disabilities; and (2) use of Section 8 certificates and vouchers to assist nonelderly persons with disabilities affected by the act.
GAO noted that: (1) the majority of housing projects designed for the elderly have not used the 1992 act to restrict the occupancy of nonelderly persons with disabilities; (2) almost three-quarters of the officials for the projects designed for the elderly reported that they had adopted their current policies before 1993, when the law went into effect; (3) a similar number of officials reported that their projects' occupancy composition has remained about the same over the last 5 years; (4) about 42 percent allow the elderly and persons with disabilities to apply for all units, while about 24 percent reserve some units for nonelderly persons with disabilities; (5) elderly tenants currently occupy about 90 percent of the available units, while nonelderly persons with disabilities occupy 8 percent; (6) advocates for the elderly believe that GAO's findings indicate that few projects have used the act to restrict the occupancy of persons with disabilities; (7) disability rights advocates believe that many projects were discriminating against persons with disabilities prior to the 1992 act and that the act merely legitimized those practices; (8) local housing authorities have made limited use of the funds for Section 8 certificates and vouchers that the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) can award to assist nonelderly persons with disabilities who are not currently receiving housing assistance because owners restricted occupancy, as the 1992 act allows; (9) of the $45 million appropriated for this purpose in fiscal years 1997 and 1998, only $8.4 million had been awarded to 13 housing authorities as of September 30, 1998; (10) HUD officials told GAO that these funds were not in greater demand for several possible reasons; (11) the application process for these funds is more complicated than the process for funds in the mainstream housing opportunities program, which is another mechanism available for housing authorities to apply for certificates and vouchers for persons with disabilities; (12) GAO's survey found that very few owners of private projects were working with staff from their local housing authority to assist persons with disabilities affected by Sections 651 and 658; (13) housing authorities prefer to apply for funds from the mainstream program for persons with disabilities; (14) in September 1998, HUD transferred $78.3 million of unobligated Section 8 funds for nonelderly persons with disabilities, of which $36.6 million was from the $45 million set-aside, into the mainstream program; and (15) these transferred funds were fully obligated by the end of fiscal year 1998, according to HUD.

When I heard on the news that coal cars would not be covered, I said to myself: "Yes, they must be." We don't want to stop shipping coal by train. But if the coal export industry refuses to cover the cars, I think there will be black dust blowing off the coal. They simply need to cover each car with a heavy canvas tarp and strap it down tight. I say canvas, because it will conform and last longer than plastic. They might have to weld some hooks on the outside of the cars in order to do the job right. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out, or to know that coal must be covered.

What you ask of a water bottle is simple: be clean, BPA-free, and secure. But Ultimate Direction thinks your requests are paltry, and gave its leak-proof 10oz Water Bottle an angled top for easy consumption and a lightweight, grip-able design, too. It's also easy to clean, so you can use this performance-oriented bottle every day of the week.
- FDA-approved polyethylene is BPA-free for worry-free and safe hydration
- Comfortable textured finger and thumb grooves gives you secure grip for easy handling while on the go
- Leak-proof sealing cap retains every drop for your consumption
- Easy-to-clean cap and bottle prevents gunk and funk from ruining your run
- Reviews
What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
They don't leak, they fit the UD vests
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
My Ultimate Direction AK vest came with larger water bottles (which I found hard to use because of the bite valve). I replaced them with these 10oz bottles and prefer this configuration. The valve is low tech, but isn't leaking even after several cycles through the dishwasher.
A further advantage of the 10oz size is the lighter weight on the chest of the race vest (obviously the lower capacity is the inescapably associated disadvantage).

Will Tires Fit my 2005 SE?
I have an all stock 2005 SE, and I can get a set of OEM Wrangler Tires on rims. My stock tires are on 15 inch rims, the tires I can buy are P225 75R16 Lugs 5" on center. Will these tires fit on my jeep as is? Thanks
The tires will fit the Jeep, but you need 16" wheels. You can't put a 16" tire on a 15" wheel.
the new rims if 16" need to be 5 on 4.5 to fit..
These tires come with the rims. But these rims are 5" on center. Are you saying my jeep has 4.5" on center lugs? THanks

Letters: redevelopment, Vietnam, iPads and more
Thank you, John Valdez.
Thank you for serving your country by going repeatedly into harm's way.
Thank you for doing a job against impossible odds.
Thank you for keeping your honor when our leaders in Washington had lost theirs.
Thank you for enduring the unendurable, tolerating the intolerable and suffering the insufferable.
Thank you for your service, your devotion and your fidelity.
Thank you for doing your duty to the last.
We owe you a debt we can never repay.
Thank you. – Paul B. Evans, Valley Center
A flashy push for technology
San Diego Unified School District is spending over $15 million to buy iPads ("S.D. Unified rolls out iPads in a major way," Local, April 30). The Sweetwater Union High School District also recently announced they would be spending over $4 million to buy iPads for all incoming seventh-grade students.
This is a new technology, and there has been no comprehensive research done to show that iPads are any better than textbooks or Xeroxes to help students learn material. Why pledge so much money and resources on this technology?
Many school board members are up for re-election in June and November. Rather than focus on what resources have evidence that are proven to help our students, the school board has opted for flashy technology that help them get re-elected. – Trevor Neeb, San Diego
Getting the whole story
Readers of the U-T San Diego will never get the whole story if you continue to use stories filtered by The New York Times.
For example, the piece on EPA administrator Al Armendariz ("EPA official quits over 'crucify' video," May 1). What the piece excludes is the most important part of the story. A small town in Texas of about 250 people had their well contaminated by chemicals and the EPA decided that it was caused by a fracking operation on private land nearby. They shut down the operation on the pretense that they had contaminated the well. It's the only way they can shut down drilling on private land, so energy prices can necessarily skyrocket, you know. Well, the company sued and it was found that the polutants were agriculture runoff that contaminated the well.
I guess Sen. James Inhofe is right about the EPA after all. – Gary Guodace, San Diego
Water-saving ideas percolate
In response to "Plan to construct new water pipeline is revived" (April 30): The water struggles continue between the San Diego County Water Authority and the further north Metropolitan Water District of L.A. This latest revival of the plan to bring water here from the Imperial Valley via a new pipeline is fraught with environmental hassles as well as a $2 billion cost. I suggest a better pursuit is to escalate the push toward even more water conservation. We've made much progress in reducing water waste, but we seem to have eased off lately.
Here's one example for reducing water use from my own experience. When we wanted hot water, say to take a shower or wash the dishes, we would turn on the faucet and wait – a long time – for the hot water to show up. We installed a water pump, with a timer, that keeps the water circulating at desired times, Turn on the faucet and the hot water arrives in about three seconds. I estimate this saves about 10 gallons of water every day, thus nearly 4,000 gallons a year. Multiply that by just 1,000 houses adding this feature, and the annual water consumption is reduced by 4 million gallons.
Yes, there is a cost, but that's a lot of water we don't need to be pumping here for a $2 billion outlay. How about asking your local plumber about that option? And looking for even more ways to cut back our excessive water use? – Tom Leech, Serra Mesa

About Giorgio Armani
History and background of Giorgio Armani. Born in Piacenza, Italy in 1934, Giorgio Armani is one of the most celebrated and influential designers Italy has ever produced. But it was only by chance that he broke into the fashion industry in the Sixties, after brief forays into medicine (having studied at Milan University) and photography. Read more about Giorgio Armani

Comments about Giorgio Armani Idole D'armani Perfume:
The product I ordered is now considered obsolete and is very hard to find. Your company name came up & I clicked on it, thinking this was a waste of time. But there is was, in stock, and ordering was so easy. Since I started using this fragrance,I have tried any thing else. Your Website was very easy to navigate & did not take much time to get my order & confirmation # & the fragrance was shipped in a short amount of time.
Very pleased with your company! Thank you!

Comments about Giorgio Armani Idole D'armani Perfume:
I didn't realize when I ordered this that it was a smaller size than I had gotten in the past. So I was disappointed when it arrived. It' very expense for me. I have worn it for 5 years and I love it. I always get compliments. But because of the cost I can only wear it for special occasions.

Same applies to the names.
The limiter is in a different location in Emerald, and may not use that string of hex commands. I believe Gamer2020 posted the location of that limiter a few posts after the first post. Check his post out.
You ARE correcting the offsets for Emerald, right? I just want to make sure you are, because all the pointers in my first post are for FR specifically.
Yep, I found the corresponding offsets in roms.ini. I saw Gamer2020's post and replaced the bytes, and it worked. Nothing seems to be wrong now (name input doesn't screw up the game, like my first attempt with FireRed did) but I'll post here if I encounter any further errors.
I uploaded the .ips of the FireRed modification I did. The move table is expanded, but it always crashes at name selection. Test it, I really want to know what I'm doing wrong in FireRed because the expanded move table works flawlessly in Emerald.
Offsets I repointed to:
Attack names - 0x8DC410
Attack data - 0x723D80
Attack animations - 0x7F8F60

Dawn stared at Elrath, trying not to be too obvious about it. He must have been asking them to do something for or with his sister—that was his trade for the information they wanted—but she couldn't imagine what. And she didn't think it would be anything they were willing to do.
Dawn stared at Elrath. He was lying. He had to be. What he'd just said didn't make any sense.
How could the treaty not apply to the faeries still on campus and in the area? What did it even mean, if the agreements that had been made back then by Alienor Chatoyant and Thengul were no longer valid? How were there both humans and faeries still living on campus?
Dawn watched Elrath as he paused deliberately, settling himself back a little more in the chair. "You haven't come up with anything to offer me?"
"We don't know what you want," Edie said. "We don't have anything we think is valuable to others, except maybe knowledge, and like you said, you know everything you need to know."
He raised his eyebrows. "Are you trying to flatter me?"
Edie frowned and shook her head. "It's just what you said. I don't know—" She stopped in the middle of the sentence, her forehead wrinkling.
Dawn and Rico walked back to Gilkey together. When the building was in sight, her phone buzzed with a text from Corrie. Where r u?
She didn't bother responding, knowing that she would see them in a few minutes. Sure enough, when they got inside, Corrie and Edie were sitting in the common room. Edie waved and leaned to talk to Corrie. Dawn waved back, hoping they hadn't been waiting for too long and that Elrath wasn't already inside.
She squeezed Rico's hand. "I'll stop by your room on my way back up and let you know what happened, okay?"
Dawn didn't sleep well that night. She kept waking, thinking there was thunder and lightning outside, but in the morning her view out the window was unclouded and dry. When she finally woke enough to get out of bed, it was late, after ten. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes, brushed her hair a little, and went next door to see if Corrie and Edie had gone to breakfast.
No one answered when she knocked, so they must have gone. Annie's roommate Salome passed Dawn in the hallway, but she just offered her usual surly look, so Dawn didn't say anything.
Dawn sighed, slumping in the chair. "You're right. He might want to know something about one of our friends, and that wouldn't be ours to give."
"Or he might want to be set up with one of our friends," Edie said with a shudder. "We definitely couldn't do that."
"But we know a lot about the faerie activity on and around campus," Corrie said. "If there was something he wanted to know about Mardalan, and we have that information, I would be happy to give it to him."
Dawn leaned against the door. She was sure they would figure it out. The question was, would it be too late for Professor Strega—or for them—when they did?
Edie flopped down on her bed with a sigh. "The question is, what can we trade to Elrath?"
Corrie's eyes widened. "You didn't promise a trade, did you?"
"We offered one," Dawn said. "Edie asked him why the contract still applies to all faeries. He asked what we would trade for that information."
"Okay," said Charlie, "I might not be the brightest guy, but even I can tell that something weird was going on there. Edie, what were you doing with that clover?"
"It's a four-leaf clover," Edie explained, holding it out to him. "You know about them, don't you?"
He frowned and nodded at it. "I didn't notice that. I know there's a lot of them around campus…"
"We use them to see past glamour," Corrie said. "Those of us who don't have the Sight like Dawn, of course."
Dawn had not expected that response. She stared at Elrath, but his cool, calculating expression didn't change. Of course, he wasn't looking at her; he was focused on Edie.
She looked over at Edie, who was frowning, but didn't seem as surprised as Dawn felt by the question of trade. But Edie had bargained with Brandon; she knew Leila, and probably Derwen, better than Dawn knew any faerie. Maybe she had been expecting that response all along.
Once the dessert menu was there, Corrie and Charlie both zeroed in on the chocolate lava cake, and when he suggested that they share dessert, she only hesitated for a moment. She probably couldn't eat the whole thing herself, after that heavy meal, and she liked that they both had the same favorite dessert from this menu.
She was right: the cake was delicious and gooey, and their forks fought over the first few bites, but she was too full to go any further before she had eaten half of it. Charlie devoured the rest.
"High werewolf metabolism?" she asked him.

MphasiS to Buy U.S. Insurance Software Provider Wyde
BANGALORE--Indian software exporter MphasiS Ltd. said Monday it has agreed to buy privately-held U.S. insurance software systems provider Wyde Corp. for an undisclosed sum in cash, in a move that will help the company reduce its over dependence on Hewlett-Packard Co., its largest client as well as its parent.
"This acquisition opens up new avenues to grow our direct business," Chief Executive Ganesh Ayyar said in a conference call with analysts.
MphasiS is 60%-owned by H-P after the U.S. technology firm acquired the Indian company's parent, Electronic Data Systems Corp., in May 2008. H-P also accounts for 67% of MphasiS' revenue.
Bangalore-based MphasiS has been mainly expanding through acquisitions. In 2009, MphasiS bought an Indian unit of American International Group Inc., which provides software services exclusively to the U.S.-based insurer. In 2010, it bought privately-held Fortify Infrastructure Services for an initial $15.5 million.
Under the latest deal, MphasiS will buy all of the outstanding shares of Wyde, gaining access to its 25 new clients across the U.S., France and Canada. Wyde brings with it an insurance product platform that holds potential across both mature and emerging markets, as well as a marquee customer base, MphasiS said in a statement.
In the last fiscal year ended Dec. 31, Wyde's margin on earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization stood at 18%, on par with MphasiS, while revenue amounted to $30 million, Mr. Ayyar said. The deal is potentially worth two to three times Wyde's annual revenue, he said. The latest acquisition will start adding to MphasiS' revenue and earnings after Sept. 1, Mr. Ayyar said.
The acquisition is being funded with MphasiS' internal cash reserves of $422 million, Mr. Ayyar said.
News of the acquisition sent MphasiS shares up to an intraday high of 459.80 rupees ($10.45).
The company had previously said that its board is considering buying back up to $65 million worth of shares from the open market partly to use its cash and to raise the value of the shares.
"This acquisition doesn't preclude our ability to do a share buyback," Mr. Ayyar said, adding that any decision on a buyback is independent of the acquisition.

El Toro High grad Dooley edged out of Olympics spot
SAN JOSE – Logan Dooley sat in the chair on the floor of the San Jose Convention Center with a smile that disappeared quickly. Dooley had just completed his routine at Wednesday night's trampoline finals at the U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Trials with a score 56.150 — good for first place. However, three more competitors were left.
Michael Devine performed his routine. Dooley stared intently at the scoreboard. 54.590 flashed. Still in first place. Jeffery Gluckstein performed his routine. Dooley nervously rubbed his right foot, watching that damned board. 55.105 flashed. Still in first place.
It was down to Steven Gluckstein, brother of Jeffery. Steven Gluckstein ripped through his routine, soaring above the apparatus. As he finished it, Dooley clapped his hands, sucked on his lips, breathed in an out, and looked apprehensive.
The score came up: 56.355. Gluckstein had edged Dooley by 0.205 points. That's how close the El Toro High graduate came to making the London Olympics. It was an agonizing end to the evening, a sequence that lasted less than 10 minutes but probably seemed to Dooley like it took hours.
Dooley had surged to the lead with a spectacular routine after coming out tentative in Tuesday's preliminary round.
"I hit a good routine," Dooley said. "It was a pretty solid routine. I did what I came out here to do. Obviously, I felt sick. Seeing my name in first place for that long, 'I could be going to the Olympics. Here I go, it's finally my turn.'"
Laguna Beach High School product Neil Gulati finished fourth with a terrific score of 54.915.
"I think I jumped at my ability level and I'm happy with how I did," Gulati said.
In the women's competition, Tesoro High graduate Alicia Powder finished fifth with a cumulative score of 143.380 after Wednesday's routine earned her a score of 51.120. Savannah Vinsant finished first with 153.195 to clinch the Olympic berth.
At the start of her routine, Powder bounced on the trampoline quite a bit longer than the other competitors.
"That was the best routine I've ever done," she said. "It kind of took me a while to get started because I was nervous but then I just took a good bounce and just went."
Said Erica Owen, Powder's teammate at World Elite Gym, "After Alicia did her first four (skills), I started to tear up because I thought her routine was incredible. I've never seen her do a better routine in my life."
Owen finished eighth at 136.895, but she was beaming after her routine.
"I was so happy," she said. "I can't believe I finished the routine. As soon as I got up there, I saw the big crowd and I saw the cameras and it actually made me really nervous. As soon as I got up and I saluted, I couldn't hear anything and I did 10 skills and I am really happy."
Powder also teamed with Shanelle Landry to win the synchronized trampoline competition earlier on Wednesday. The event is not contested in the Olympics.
NOTE: McKalya Maroney said she has been practicing at 100 percent for about a week and is ready for the women's all-around competition, which begins Friday. Maroney suffered a concussion and a broken nose in a fall during the Visa Championships in St. Louis on June 10. Maroney, from Laguna Niguel, was considered one of the favorites to make the five-member U.S. team prior to her injury.

Contemporary Inn & Restaurant in Northeast Ohio
Bass Lake Taverne & Inn • Chardon, OH
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a King Room, Any Days of the Week to April 17, 2016 (Blackout Dates Apply)
- $50 Dining Credit at The Taverne
- Combine Vouchers to Stay for Two Nights
- After Purchase, Follow Your Voucher's Redemption Instructions to Complete Your Reservation
Romance awaits on Bass Lake—these contemporary guest rooms feature Jacuzzi tubs and roaring fireplaces.
The Destination
For a humble town of 5,000, Chardon has a lot to offer. Thirty miles from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in downtown Cleveland, it's also mere minutes from the antiquated charm of northeast Ohio's Amish communities. Then there's wine country: Within 20 minutes of Chardon lie no fewer than a dozen vineyards and tasting rooms. And everyone knows that small-town America is home to the country's best antique shops. Chardon is no exception, and Antiques on the Square proves it, featuring 20 dealers over two floors.
The Digs
Just south of downtown Chardon, Bass Lake Taverne & Inn is tucked away in a country setting of forest and ponds. The romantic accommodations are furnished with contemporary décor, a king bed, a gas fireplace, and an oversize bathtub with Jacuzzi jets. Other amenities include cable TV, a microwave, a refrigerator, and complimentary Wi-Fi.
The Diversions
The Taverne—the on-site restaurant appointed in an appropriately rustic fashion—serves upscale New American cuisine and some of the best seafood in the region. Try the horseradish-crusted salmon with
a lobster-essence cream sauce and hand-mashed potatoes, complemented by a cocktail or glass of wine. In warmer weather, schedule a tee time at the inn-adjacent Chardon Lakes Golf Course, a challenging and beautiful course with a classic design. And of course, the area's many vineyards are just a short drive away.
The Details
• Taxes and resort fees are not included—you'll pay those directly to the property
• Food and beverage credit doesn't include alcohol, tax, gratuity, or any specials
• Plan around the short blackout date range: December 24-25 and 31, 2105; January 1; February 7 and 12-13, 2016
The room was beautiful and the view was spectacular. Sitting on the balcony, overlooking the lake and listening to the crickets and frogs, was very relaxing and romantic. I can't wait to have a second honeymoon there.-- LivingSocial Member
Large, well-appointed room with fireplace and patio—very nice and clean. The food at the Taverne was fantastic!-- LivingSocial Member

SEATTLE (AP) — An arrest warrant has been issued for a former Seattle school employee, who is accused of being the central figure in a Seattle Public Schools financial scandal.
The Seattle Times (http://bit.ly/sNyVZX) reports Silas Potter Jr. failed to appear for arraignment on Tuesday.
Two other defendants, David A. Johnson and Lorrie Kay Sorensen, pleaded not guilty to theft charges during a brief hearing in King County Superior Court.
Potter headed the district's small-business assistance program before moving to Florida, had been scheduled to enter a plea to theft charges filed by King County prosecutors.
All three defendants had been summoned for arraignment on felony theft charges after being charged Oct. 25 with stealing from the district's small-business program.

Senate Democrats have set Thursday as the date for the first major gun showdown in Congress since the Connecticut school shootings, saying they will put their gun control bill on the chamber floor and dare Republicans to filibuster it.
At least nine Republicans have signaled that they will vote with Democrats to bring the bill to the floor, but it's unclear whether Democrats will be united. If the bill doesn't get 60 votes, the chamber won't be able to begin debating it — much less see it through to passage.
"We're moving forward on this bill. The American people deserve a vote on this legislation. And I'm going forward on this regardless of whether it's a compromise or not," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, told reporters as he laid out his strategy Tuesday afternoon.
The vote Thursday will be the first in either chamber of Congress since the December rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., in which a young gunman massacred 20 students and six adults at the school.
President Obama has stepped up pressure for Congress to pass a broad set of gun controls, including banning military-style semi-automatic weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines, and universal background checks for all gun purchases.
But the bill Mr. Reid will bring to the floor doesn't include the weapons and magazine bans. Instead, it expands background checks to encompass almost all private transfers, imposes new penalties on gun traffickers and "straw purchasers," and allocates $40 million to bolster school safety.
Mr. Reid said he will allow the gun and magazine bans to be brought to the floor as amendments, where they will likely need 60 votes to pass — something neither is likely to achieve.
But Mr. Reid said Tuesday he isn't sure he has the 60 votes needed just to overcome a filibuster. While nearly a dozen Republicans have signaled they are willing to buck their party and halt the filibuster, some Democrats could join the Republicans.
Democratic Sens. Max Baucus of Montana and Mark L. Pryor of Arkansas said Tuesday that they weren't sure how they would vote.
"I'm going to wait and see what's proposed — it's that simple," Mr. Baucus said.
Mr. Pryor said he wanted to see what was in the proposal and that he has informed Mr. Reid he might oppose a motion to invoke cloture.
"I haven't made a final decision on that," Mr. Pryor said. "I just don't want to get committed on that without knowing what all the options are."
There are 53 Democrats and two Democratic-leaning independents in the Senate. If they all vote to proceed, Mr. Reid would need to sway five Republicans to move forward, and more than that number have said they will oppose an effort to delay debate.
Sens. John McCain of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Tom Coburn of Oklahoma and Mark Kirk of Illinois all had said they want a debate on the bill. On Tuesday, more Republicans began to come out against the potential filibuster, among them Sens. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, Johnny Isakson of Georgia, Susan M. Collins of Maine, Saxby Chambliss of Georgia and Dean Heller of Nevada.
Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona, who is co-sponsoring a bipartisan measure intended to strengthen the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, said he wants to see amendments first, but that he doesn't support a filibuster just for the sake of blocking the bill.
Still, about a dozen Republican senators, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, have said they will work to block the motion to proceed on the legislation, preventing it from getting to the floor for debate. On Tuesday, Mr. McConnell cited the dearth of Republican votes for the legislation in committee as the reason for joining the fight.
Talks also continued Tuesday between Sens. Joe Manchin III, West Virginia Democrat, and Patrick J. Toomey, Pennsylvania Republican, on background checks — the current centerpiece of the package. The two senators have scheduled a news conference for Wednesday at 11 a.m.
Mr. Reid said he hopes something will work out between those two and Mr. Kirk, and that he would like to see their product be one of the first amendments offered to the bill passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Mr. Manchin said Tuesday evening that he's "very hopeful" about reaching a compromise Wednesday.
"Let me say that these have been all good talks — they really have been," he said.
But Sen. Chuck Grassley, Iowa Republican and ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, said Mr. Reid is forcing the Senate "to take a leap into the unknown" and that "we are being asked to vote to proceed to an uncertain bill."
"The world's greatest deliberative body should not operate in this fashion," he said.
Nevertheless, Mr. Reid has pledged to move forward — even if the vote fails.
If the package does not get the 60 votes needed to move to the floor, he plans to offer pieces of gun legislation, like the weapons and magazine bans, as well as background checks, one by one.
That move would fulfill Mr. Obama's call for his proposals to receive votes and force Republicans to oppose each of them individually, but would likely do nothing to move any of them closer to actual passage.
And regardless of what happens in the Senate, any bill would face an even more hostile environment in the House, where the Republican leaders who control the chamber have said only that they would look at whatever the Senate passes.
It's unclear whether the current background check language, as written, could obtain the 60 Senate votes needed. The senators are trying to expand the types of sales and transactions that would be subject to background checks without angering gun rights advocates, who fear universal checks could give way to a national registry.
Federally licensed firearms dealers are required to conduct background checks, but private sellers and dealers at gun shows are exempt.
Sen. Mike Lee, Utah Republican, is one of those planning to filibuster the motion to proceed. He said claims by President Obama and Democrats that Republicans are trying to block the debate are misleading.
"The president again is trying to rush legislation through Congress because he knows that as Americans begin to find out what is in the bill, they will oppose it," Mr. Lee said. "Our job in Congress is to do everything in our power to ensure the public understands these bills and how it affects their rights as citizens."

The invention relates to an apparatus for testing the leaktightness of filled, closed packages of flexible material, comprising conveyor means for feeding the packages in line, means for applying pressure to the packages while they are being conveyed, whereby packages free from leaks are locally expanded by the pressure and leaking packages are subjected by the pressure to expansion either not at all or to a far lesser extent, and means for determining the amount of the local expansion.
An apparatus of this kind is known from U.S. Pat. No. 4,024,956. This known apparatus is particularly intended for testing packets of cigarettes. The conveyor means consist of two conveyor belts acting on the sides of the packets and causing the latter to slide over a fixed support. The means applying pressure to the packets consist of adjustable brackets which press the conveyor belts against the sides of the packets, and of pressure rollers which act on the top face of the packets. These rollers are intended to force air out of any leaking packets. The pivoting arm is disposed downstream of the pressure rollers, referring to the direction in which the packets are conveyed. At the moment when the pivoting arm acts on the packets, the latter are compressed only by the side conveyors. An apparatus of this kind would be unsuitable for testing bags having two curved faces which are joined together by three or four sealing seams. Bags of this kind are usually employed for packing potato crisps, salted crackers, and the like. A pivoting arm acting on a sealing seam would have little effect. With bags of this kind, perfect testing for leaks makes it necessary for the bags to be compressed over a large area and for the pivoting arm to act on a small part of one of the two faces, this part being held taut when there are no leaks.
The present invention provides a solution to this problem. According to the invention the apparatus first mentioned above is for this purpose characterized in that the means for applying pressure to the packages consist of at least two pressure belts disposed a short distance apart, and that the means for determining the amount of the local expansion are disposed in the gap between the two pressure belts.
The bags will as a rule be fed on a horizontal conveyor belt and the two pressure belts will be situated above the conveyor belt. This is however not essential. The conveyor belt and the pressure belts could be disposed vertically or obliquely.
The most important advantage of the invention is that the means for determining the amount of the expansion act on a relatively small part of the surface of the bags which is not in contact with the two pressure belts and therefore is held taut if the bag has no leaks. The accuracy of leak detection is thereby greatly improved.
These means for determining the amount of the local expansion may consist of a pivoting arm. The position of the latter can be determined in different ways, for example with the aid of microswitches. For the sake of simplicity, however, it is preferable for the pivoting arm itself to be provided with a vane which interrupts the beam transmitted to a photocell when the pivoting arm acts on a leaktight bag.
The pivoting arm may be straight but is preferably V-shaped.
A fixed shoe having a chamber which is open at the bottom and into which a compressed air pipe and a pressure pickup pipe leading to a pressure transducer lead is more accurate than a pivoting arm. This chamber is so situated that the part of a leaktight bag which is held taut can extend along the opening of the chamber and can close the latter, whereby the pressure can be momentarily increased and this increase be detected by the pressure transducer.
The pressure transducer preferably consists of a diaphragm switch.
It will generally be necessary for the means for determining the amount of the local expansion (pivoting arm or shoe) to come into action only if a bag has reached a determined position in or on the conveyor belt. Means will therefore be provided to signal that a bag being fed has reached a determined position on the conveyor belt, whereupon the means for determining the amount of local expansion can be put into action.
For satisfactory testing it is important that the filling in the packing (for example potato crisps) should not lie all in one heap but should be spread over the volume of the packing. It is therefore preferable to add a vibrating device to the apparatus. This device will for example consist of rotationally drivable rods of non-circular section disposed under a flexible conveyor surface.
The invention will now be explained in greater detail with the aid of diagrammatical drawings, in which two embodiments are shown.
FIG. 1 is a side view of a first embodiment of the inventive apparatus.
FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a side view of a second embodiment of apparatus according to the present invention embodiment.
FIG. 4 is a top plan view of the apparatus shown in FIG. 3.
The apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, intended for testing the leaktightness of filled, closed bags of flexible material, for example bags of potato crisps, comprises conveyor means for feeding the bags, these means being in the form of two horizontal conveyor belts 1, 2 following one another.
Under the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 1 are disposed a number of non-circular rods 3, which during operation are rotated in order to vibrate the bags lying on the conveying surface and thus to allow the product to spread out in the bags.
Above the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 2 are disposed two pressure belts 4, 5, between which a gap 6 is left free.
A V-shaped arm 8 is pivotably fastened at 9 on a pillar 10 so that it can move inside the gap 6. A vane 11 is fastened on the arm 8 and can interrupt the light beam between a light source 12 and a photocell 13.
A light source 14 transmitting a beam to a photocell 15 is also disposed a short distance above the conveyor belt 2.
A spring-loaded pressure plate 16 is disposed under the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 2.
The apparatus works as follows:
The bags filled with product are fed in line by the conveyor belt 1 to the conveyor belt 2, while the product is spread out in the bags by the rotating non-circular rods 3. The bags arrive between the conveyor belts 2, 4 and 5 and are compressed, whereby parts of the bags which do not come into contact with the surfaces of the belts are stretched taut if the bags have no leaks. One of these parts is the portion of the bags which is situated at the gap 6 between the conveyor belts 4 and 5.
The pivoting arm 8 is moved upwards by each bag against the action of the weight of the arm (or of a spring). As soon as the front edge of a bag interrupts the light beam between the light source 14 and the photocell 15, a signal is transmitted to the photocell 13 to come into action. In the case of a bag which has no leaks, the vane will interrupt the light beam, while in the case of a leaking bag the vane will be under the light beam and the photocell acted on by the light beam will transmit a signal to an alarm system or to means for removing the leaking bag.
In FIGS. 3 and 4 the same components are given corresponding reference numerals. The apparatus shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 differs from that shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 only in that instead of the V-shaped arm a fixed shoe 20 is disposed in the gap 6 with the aid of a fastening means 21. This shoe 20 is provided with a chamber 22 open at the bottom and into which two pipes lead: a compressed air pipe 23 for supplying compressed air under elevated pressure (about 0.5 bar) to the chamber, and a pipe 24 which is connected to a pressure transducer 25 in the form of a diaphragm switch. The chamber 22 is in such a position relative to the lower face of the belts 4 and 5 that a leakproof bag can extend with its taut portion along the opening of the chamber 22 and can close the opening. The pressure in the chamber will thus be increased for a short time, and this will be detected by the pressure transducer 25. If the front edge of a bag interrupts the light beam between the light source 14 and the photocell 15, a signal is transmitted to the pressure transducer 25 to effect a measurement of pressure during a determined period of time. If the pressure during that period of time is sufficiently high, the bag has no leaks and can pass through. If the pressure is too low in the chamber, the pressure transducer will transmit a signal to an ejector, for example in the form of a blast nozzle 26, which will blow the bag off the belt 2. The embodiment provided with the fixed shoe works more accurately than the embodiment using the V-shaped arm, and in addition is less sensitive to uneven distribution of the product in the bags.
It is essential to the invention that a large part of the surface of the bags being tested should be in contact with the belts 2, 4 and 5, and that the pivoting arm, or the chamber 21 as the case may be, should be able to come into contact with the compressed bags via a narrow gap between the belts 4 and 5. The part held taut in this gap but not protruding, or only slightly protruding, gives an accurate indication that the bags have no leaks, while in the case of a leaking bag the pivoting arm 8, or the chamber 21 as the case may be, will be in contact with a part of the surface which is not taut.
Various modifications and additions are possible within the scope of the invention.

Summit Negotiating Teams: A Study of Opposites
The gap that has emerged in the approaches of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Chairman Mahmoud Abbas to the joint document being prepared for the Annapolis summit is in part also being reflected in the make-up of the negotiating teams. Indeed, it seems that the two groups are almost complete opposites.
While Abbas sent five politicians, each with their own agendas, Israel sent a team of senior civil servants.
The Israeli team is headed by the chief of staff of the Prime Minister's Office, Yoram Turbowicz. It also includes:
* Shalom Turgeman, who has been a diplomatic adviser to the prime minister since March 2003, speaks Arabic and served in Israel's embassy in Amman.
* Aharon Abramovitch, director general of the Foreign Ministry and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni's representative at the negotiations. He has served as director general at the Justice Ministry, and led negotiations with the settlers during the disengagement.
* The head of the security-political task force at the Defense Ministry, Amos Gilad, who represents Defense Minister Ehud Barak at the negotiations. He is considered the most experienced member of the negotiations team, who once headed the research division at Military Intelligence. The Palestinians view him as the hawk in the group - or worse.
A handicap for the Israeli team is their lack of experience in long negotiations with the Palestinians, with all the administrative and structural problems that such a historical vacuum creates. On the other hand, all four are not bound by the formulas of the past and are likely to offer new approaches to the talks.
Moreover, the four have been working as a cohesive group for some time and are known as the "Turbo group."
On the Palestinian side, the team is headed by an old fox, Ahmed Qureia, who had served as prime minister under Yasser Arafat and has been involved in secret negotiations with the Israelis on a number of occasions. In Israel his appointment is viewed as an attempt by the PA to undermine the talks; the Palestinians regard this as proof that Abbas is taking these talks very seriously.
Qureia is close to another experienced negotiator on the team, Yasser Abed Rabbo, while Saeb Erekat, the chief negotiator on behalf of the PLO, is not known to have smooth relations with either of them.
Akram Haniyeh, the editor of the Al-Ayam daily, is also one of Qureia's good friends.
The fifth man, Sa'adi al-Krutch, was appointed in part because he is originally from the Gaza Strip, but mostly because Prime Minister Salam Fayad does not want to be part of the talks.
Fayad was insulted when Abbas decided to include Qureia to the Palestinian delegation that recently participated in the UN General Assembly, and only allowed him to meet with the representatives of the donor nations. He knows that while he is well respected in Washington, in Ramallah he is an outsider. He also believes that the summit will fail.
