I know this thread is a few weeks old, but I just came across it and I find myself needing exactly this kind of a framework for mapping beans to beans. I am very "enthused by this idea" and would be willing to actively participate on a project to create such a framework. Robert, are you implying that this is something you might see being done as an apache project? Would others be interested in such a project if an attempt was made to create one? -Brian robert burrell donkin <email@example.com> wrote: (apologies for being very late to this party, i've not been too well recently) not that i know of but it sounds like the kind of crazy tool that really needs to exist! i'm sure that this kind of thing has lots of potential uses out there. mix in a few functors and you'd have a really cool transformation engine. there are times when folks are more than a little frustrated by beanutil's lack of expressiveness when it comes to mapping presentation to domain objects. reflection is slow but isn't usually the bottleneck in typical applications. if it is, then there are plenty of cool ways to fix it now (generate either source or bytecodes). anyone else out there enthused by this idea? - robert On 13 Aug 2004, at 22:02, Garsombke, Franz wrote: > I know that Betwixt is very good at mapping XML to Beans.

C-Diff Threatens More Hospital PatientsApr 24, 2008 | Parker Waichman LLP
C-Diff Are On The Rise.
Cases of potentially deadly diarrhea-related infections—known as CDAD—are on the rise, increasing in U.S. hospitals by over 200 percent between 2000 and 2005. According to a new report by the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, 300,000 people contracted Clostridium difficile-associated disease (CDAD) and 8,600 died in 2005. Also, there was a 74 percent rise in CDAD cases recorded between 1993 and 2000 and over two million patients contracted CDAD between 1993 and 2005. "It is the next major germ threat," said Betsy McCaughey, the former lieutenant governor of New York state and current head of the Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths (RID), an agency that focuses on improving infection control in hospitals and health care settings. This incredible spike has experts worried.
C. diff—or clostridium difficile—is a spore-forming, toxin-producing bacterium that infectious disease experts say is growing in speed and virulence similar to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus—MRSA—and is moving from within hospitals to the community at large. MRSA sickened over 94,000 and caused nearly 19,000 deaths in the U.S. in 2005. Like MRSA, C. diff has become multi-drug-resistant. Only previously affecting the elderly, hospitalized patient, a bolder strain of C. diff is now crippling the healthy.
C. Diff Is An Ancient Bacterium.
C. diff is part of the natural flora, or bacteria, in the colon and is an ancient bacterium. Many people can, and do, carry it naturally and it can live in us without causing disease. Carrying C. diff does not mean we have an infection. As a matter-of-fact, it is common in our bodies following birth. The problem arises because what we don't have is the receptor for the toxin—the molecular key that unlocks C. diff's toxin-spewing capacity. Newer, mutant C. diff is fully equipped with the receptor and is capable of boosting toxin amounts, making C. diff lethal. C. diff can cause infections ranging from mild diarrhea to a deadly illness wherein a patient's entire colon is removed.
C. diff produces hardy spores that can remain on surfaces—bedpans, toilet seats, floors—for weeks. "It's on every surface," McCaughey said. "They get the spores on their hands and their food arrives and they ingest the spores with their dinner rolls." Alcohol does not work; only bleach can kill the spores.
Worse, there is a new, more virulent strain of C. diff thought to be about 20 times more toxic than previously known strains. The North American Phenotype 1/027 strain has been responsible for deadly outbreaks in Europe, Canada, and the U.S. in recent years and New York is one of 23 states the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has identified as having the highly toxic, mutant strain.
CDAD can be resistant to many traditional antibiotics, forcing use of the stronger vancomycin, but some infections are vancomycin-resistant, making them difficult or impossible to cure. The best treatment is prevention, McCaughey said. Hospitals must improve their hygiene practices and patients must be vigilant about not touching surfaces and keeping their hands out of their mouths. "This is a killer bacterium and we can't be lazy about it," she said.

I'm seeing that as well. The root user jsvc process is parent to the tomcat user jsvc process. You'll also notice from analysis of netstat's output that the tomcat user jsvc process is the only one listening to ports. The one running as root is just there to spawn the true tomcat process with access to privileged ports. I'm sure the root user jsvc process is also the one that takes a kill signal and sends a normal shutdown command to the other. --David Adam Hardy wrote: > I'm running tomcat as user 'tomcat' on linux with jsvc.exec, using the > associated shell script as the SysVinit start-up script. > > I see tomcat running as 2 processes - one as root and one as tomcat. > This doesn't seem right.

How does vetoing the trade make sense?
Game On! bloggers Tom Weir and Reid Cherner have never blocked a trade.
RC: Count me among those who think the fix was in on the Chris Paul-to-Lakers trade.
Ironically, acting NBA commissioner/Cavs owner Dan Gilbert may have halted a golden chance to finish off the Lakers when he helped veto the trade.
The Lakers were giving up two All-Stars and 14-feet of height to get a point guard — albeit a Hall of Fame one. CPIII and Kobe sharing a basketball might have been fuzzy math.
Derek Fisher, Steve Kerr and John Paxson had a genius for shunning the spotlight until a hero was needed. Fisher+Kerr+Paxson=11 rings for Bryant and Michael Jordan. Simple arithmetic.
TW: I'm a big believer in competitive balance, but I don't see how David Stern achieves it by canceling the Paul trade. That was a good deal for a franchise that has no hope of keeping CP3.
My bigger concern is that it seems like the league is in a mad rush to crush the big-city, signature franchises that made it strong. Don't be shocked if there's a motion to transfer the Lakers, Celtics and Knicks to Rancho Cucamonga, Nantucket and Poughkeepsie.
Tim Tebow
TW: Clearly, the last piece of the Tebow puzzle is to get him to play the first three quarters the way he does in the finale. Maybe the Broncos need to get him warming up in the bullpen.
And I will never have any issue with his religious zeal, unless of course it inspires a reprise of the worst sports-related song ever, "Drop Kick Me Jesus Through The Goal Posts Of Life."
RC: I've been on the Tebow bandwagon for so long I get priority boarding. But Tebow didn't kick two 50-yarders Sunday or strip the ball in overtime.
Tebow is special but can we stop the nonsense that he's getting a divine boost? God doesn't root for an NFL team. I know because I've bargained with him to intervene when I've been down in Vegas.
Jerry Sandusky
RC: Sandusky has been labeled a coward for waiving his right to a preliminary hearing and delaying facing his accusers.
No matter how heinous the charges, a person has the right to conduct a defense. But the man is accused of sexual abuse of children. Do we really need another reason to think him a coward?
TW: Legal strategies aside, this really wasn't the time for Sandusky to invoke a football analogy, telling reporters as he left the courthouse he would "stay the course, to fight for four quarters."
One senses that when the gut-wrenching testimony begins, Sandusky may wish he had instead taken the option to punt.
Ryan Braun positive drug test
TW: While waiting for drug tests and appeals to play out we have time to debate another issue: Should Braun lose his MVP award if he's found guilty? I say yes. If PED issues are important enough to keep players out of the Hall of Fame, then they also matter enough to justify revoking the game's biggest individual awards.
RC: Braun is either the unluckiest man in Major League history or the dumbest. I'll root hard for the former.

Aston Martin Lagonda Revealed in Oman
The Aston Martin Lagonda has landed in the Middle East thanks to Oman Air.
The British automaker has taken a pre-production Lagonda to the Middle East for hot-weather testing as the sedan will be sold exclusively in the Middle East to select buyers. Based on the same platform as the Rapide sedan, the Lagonda will be created by Aston Martin's Q special projects division and will likely be powered the same 5.9-liter V12 engine providing 550 hp and 457 lb-ft of torque.
SEE ALSO: Aston Martin Lagonda to Launch as Limited Production Sedan
Since the Lagonda will be built by the Q division, it will be limited in production and the first production cars are expected to arrive Middle Eastern clients next year.

Mohali: Injury-plagued Australian team suffered another blow on Tuesday, as fast bowler Peter Siddle was ruled out of the rest of India-Australia ODI series.
Siddle was diagnosed with a side strain following the fourth ODI at Mohali on Monday, which Australia won by 24 runs to tie the seven game series.
"Cricket Australia today confirmed fast bowler Peter Siddle will return from Australia''s Tour of India after experiencing some left side stiffness during last night''s victory over India in the fourth ODI at Mohali," Cricket Australia said in a statement.
Though the injury is minor, the CA has decided to give him rest, as they did not want to augment the injury further.
Siddle is the fourth Australian player to return, after injuries to fast bowler Brett Lee, all-rounder James Hopes and wicketkeeper Time Paine forced them to head home.
The fifth game of the series will be held in Hyderabad on November 5.

He collapsed upon her, fully spent. For several long moments he lay too exhausted to move, still feeling the aftershocks of her release through their most intimate contact. Only when she relaxed completely beneath him did he start to shift off her, but her arms gripped him tightly, pulling him back down.
"Don't…" she murmured into his shoulder.
He compromised, rolling them both over onto their sides and tucking her against his chest, her head beneath his chin. She made a contented little sigh as she curled into his side and, within minutes, her breathing had slowed to the gentle rhythms of sleep.
John, however, did not sleep. At least, not right away. These moments were precious… He had spent far too many lonely nights trapped - as he now realized - within his own body, desperately wanting nothing more than simply this: to hold her in his arms again.
He bent to kiss the top of her head and whispered into her hair the words he hadn't yet dared speak again when she was awake. When she might hear them and, like a frightened deer, panic.
"I love you, Helen."
She stiffened in his arms. She hadn't been asleep.
He held his breath, awaiting her response, but there was none.
Eventually, arms still locked around her, he fell asleep himself.
He woke in the middle of the night to an empty space next to him. Getting out of bed, he quickly threw on his clothes and went to find her.
She was where he'd expected she'd be. The place he knew from her friends she'd always retreated to when in need of privacy.
John found her sitting on the roof, at the edge of the parapet, staring out at the city spread below. He stopped at the top of the stairs leading down and inside and stood watching her in silence for several long moments.
Without even turning to look at him, she finally broke the silence herself, her words flying back at him, barely audible on the wind. "In the end, she really was your daughter."
"Helen.. You know that wasn't...."
She chuckled without mirth. Mocking herself. "Not like that. I mean at the very end. When she… left. That was you, John. I'm not sure I'd have had the strength. But she did."
"Yes. You would. For her."
"Maybe…." She was clearly unconvinced. "But you did."
"She was who you taught her to be."
"And look where that got her."
"Helen." He started to step towards her but stopped when she remained unmoving, her back a barrier between them. He tried again. "That wasn't your…"
"Wasn't it?" She had never before sounded so exhausted. So defeated. "If I had--"
"She was wonderful, Helen. Perfect. You did nothing wrong."
She snorted. "Nothing, John? I did everything…"
"No you didn't."
Her voice was small as she answered. "I wasn't speaking simply of Ashley."
"Ah…" He hadn't expected that. Though knowing Helen, he should have. "None of it was your fault."
When she failed to respond, he continued, "Helen. You have to forgive yourself."
"Perhaps…. And maybe one day I will. But not yet…. Not today."
"Well, I'm not going anywhere. Not anymore."
She finally looked over her shoulder at him, a brief, sad smile playing across her features. "I know. And I'll never ask it of you."
He nodded once. It was the best he could hope for. For the moment. He gestured to the stairs behind him. "Now, come back inside. It's cold up here."
Slowly, she stood and headed downstairs. He followed her. But in the shadows at the bottom of the flight of steps she paused, her hand on the door leading inside and her voice, when she spoke, was so low he had to strain to hear her. "I love you, too, you know. I always have. Even when…" Her voice trailed off into nothing, but nothing more was needed.
"Yes, I know."
Then, just as though she hadn't spoken at all, Helen opened the door and stepped through into the brightly lit hall inside. John followed her and together, they headed back to bed.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
nothing. the room was dirty, not cleaned smelling cigarettes. We have left the room without sleeping init
NOTHING at all. Breakfast offered- very basic, nothing to chose from. Just plain bread, butter and jam/honey to go with it. Tea/coffee/warm milk. The room was awful- very outdated, if you had a shower the whole bathroom floor was covered in water. We could hear the taffic, people coming and going around. Summing up- complete disaster!
Cheap Bit noisy
I paid 4, 80 for breakfast that includued only a variety of bread products and a small bowl of cereal. Totally insuffiecient. The hotel is fine, but the breakfast needs to be avoided.
La propreté Petit déjeuner trop limité en choix
Good value for money Basic accomodation but clean
There was a distinct bad smell in the room like the floor was cleaned with a dirty mop. I got several bites on my left hand and arm using the blanket to keep me warm. The check in machine was absolutely appalling, kept saying there was no such booking!!
Ambiance, room size and free parking under hotel Could not modify the terms and conditions of the stay. Since it was pre-paid and I had a corporate rate, the overall charge and ability to include breakfast and Internet into the package could not be changed. I should have been more diligent in how the room was booked.
I like the Hotel du Lac because of it's friendly atmosphere, good standard of accomodation, good food and restaurant and excellent location opposite the lake.
The place The reception end the cleaning
The hotel smelled of cigarette smoke; there was no room in the hotel restaurant to eat dinner
Room and food.
Fantastic location on the lake; ten minute stroll to the station for regular trains into Paris (about 15 minutes). Good local ameneties (shops, cinema etc).
surroundings and good standards overall room was too hot and noisy air vent bar drinks overpriced
The view from the balcony is beautiful as long as yuo have a lake view room otherwise it overlooks peoples gardens to the side of the hotel.We upgraded to a lakeview room at a cost of 25 Euro's a night which was a bit expensive. My partner & I always use this hotel when visiting Paris due to its beautiful location. The cost of Upgrading to a lakeview room, 25 Euro's a night, 8 Euro's a day parking, 15 Euros each for Continental Brakfast, 5 1/2 Euros for a small Beer. This is not a complaint just a moan about the extra costs incurred which ultimately increased the overall costs.
Room was ok, but bathroom was really cold and there was not heater
Good location in a nice suburb. Friendly reception staff. Ideal for an overnight stop.
The location of the hotel is very convenient for visiting Paris without having to pay city centre rates. Maisons Laffitte is a very charming suburb. There was no air conditioning in the room and it seemed very stuffy. The breakfast was not very high quality.
The location was perfect for a visit to Maisons Laffitte.The value was right, and the bar/breakfast service was ok.
Great location - only 20 minutes from the centre of Paris with trains every few minutes. Hotel only 10 minutes from the station.
very quiet and peaceful; excellent car park; convenient for statio no hair dryer: only one beaker in bathroom (double room)
Parking for large van was good food excellent close to town if you need anything
effective staff Very hot in the room -thick quilt for the time of the year-
Breakfast well maintained and good quality - value for money. Very helpful staff - good English spoken - prepared to provide dirniks at most times.
lack of air conditioning made it very uncomfortable
The price The noice from the hallway, and that it was allowed to smoke /not smoke in the same floor. That means not separate smoking/non smoking floors.
Very helpful staff. It was cheap and clean - just 90 Euros for 2 nights - but you get what you pay for - see below. The hotel and room were very basic. The room was tiny - not much larger than the double bed with a single overhead bunk across the width of the room. More like a hostel than a hotel. There was no kettle to make a cup of tea or coffee, just a pay drinks machine in the lobby. The area seemed fairly rough and we were worried about the car overnight. There was a small off street unsecured car park which turned out to be ok. Note that some of this chain (Premiere Classe) don't have car parks. We swapped our booking after discovering that our original choice only had on street parking. We weren't really happy about leaving all our holiday gear in the room or the car which might not have worried us elsewhere.
Relaxed atmosphere and very friendly and efficient staff, with easy access to local amenities
Clean, staff were wonderful. Lack of amenities... Broken equipment
Very helpful staff. They speak English well. Good location of the hotel in the centre of Cergy, not far from RER. The rooms are small, also the bathroom was very small. The room could be also cleaner. It was however ok for one night.
Location close to the highway, easy to find. Quiet place. Nice tv. The staff at the reception was ok. I had higher expectations. Our room was small and very simple with a dirty appearance. Amazing but ugly design of corridors. No power point available in our room.
Generally everything was good
Very frienly employees and good welcome at the desk. No hotel-parking, very poor and small room, terrible bed with a very thin mattress which caused pain in my body,the food was poor and untasty.
Proximity to transport connections Poor welcome on arrival - quite disinterested
My initial reservation had wrong date's and I changed it on line, but they would not honor my changed reservation. other thing was, I booked Triple Room - 3 single beds and got 2 single bed for family of 2 adult with 2 young kids???? it's service and Mangagement
Food was good, rooms were clean and the ambience was appropriate for the business meetings.
Private parking, nice breakfast n/a
The price was good and the staff were all really nice. There are not any real amenities. This Novotel does not include breakfast.
clean and modern, handy for the station, expensive breakfast, picked hotel as advert showed nice pool ! packed my trunks disappointed to find no water in pool !
location and great service I couldnt switch off the air conditioner
A strategic place for family with easy transportation. Quite and nice.
Relaxing atmoshpere,clean with friendly staff Hard to find the recieption
Staff was very helpfull and corteus. No bad points.
Secure car park, easy to find using sat nav! Room on the small side!need a uk news channel would be helpful on the tv! Room floors could have been a little cleaner! Breakfast area could be a little cleaner to.
This hotel was close walking distance to the Parc des Exhibition for a dog show. They took dogs and had great space for dogs to be walked. Breakfast was very basic and over priced but not many options in the area. Shower was great though! It is quite old and smells a bit when you walk into the rooms. Linens are rough and they only have 2 twin beds or one Queen option. They do not put three people in a room. Had my son with us that sleeps in our bed. They would not allow it. Fire dept has to know how many people in each room and it was a problem to tell them there was three in our room for some reason. Then all of a sudden it was ok. Anyway, make sure to book exactly as described. The comment section of Booking.com does not go to this hotel.
Restaurant (but I stay here a lot and know the Chef is good - not always as good at other Campaniles) Typically Campanile - too much noise from other rooms. Not as good value for money as it used to be.
Near motorway. Open on a Sunday night and food provided. Nice to have tea coffee in room. Ample parking. On your website it was stated no parking space; this could have deterred us but we had visited you before' so we knew better. Directions from the motorway going north could have been better, but fortunately we remembered the way from last time.
最低15文字以上ご入力ください Tv was no function.
Ease of access. Some staff were not overly welcoming. Unable to obtain any drink (Alcohol or other) before 1900 or after 2300 hrs. (2200 hrs on Sunday). Bathroom and tea/coffee consumables not replenished for the 2nd night.
Value for money was excellent. It was a good choice when the room was just for sleeping in. Breakfast arrangments could have been a little better. Whilst I appreciate it was only 8 euro's per person it probably needed a little more personal touch. You were very much left to sort yourself out.
Simplicity double charging of breakfast
The location, very quiet. Not very clean, bedsheets stained, old and noisy air condition
Clean and comfortable with friendly and helpful staff
Friendly and helpful staff small room
Breakfast was excellent The room was tiny for three people - barely enough space to turn around.
location Although kettle facility was provided (base) the actual kettle was missing. The staff seemed unable to provide a replacement. Hot water was provided in lieu of the kettle
breakfast 18 euros, not in right relation for this type of hotel
No climatization of the rooms
Good location of the A115 motorway so did not have to head into town. There is a shopping centre 5 mins away which makes shopping easy. There is also a Mc Donalds, Quick and other places to eat 5 mins walk. The reception shuts at 2300, there is a "auto reception machine" which can hand out keys and the code for the gated parking on inserting credit card used for booking. However if you book via a broker like booking.com it will not work. Only works if booked the room direct with the hotel. Best to call the hotel and let them advice you.
Great price, friendly receptionist
Staff went out of their way to be helpful. They were also exceptionally friendly. Furniture were very uncomfortable and the room small.
staff very friendly Shame there were no leisure facilities ie pool or gym
Hotel staff where efficient and very helpful.
Very friendly staff. Good in English! The view from my room on utilities
you get what you pay for.
All the Staff on the reception desk, day and night were extremely helpful. They helped with several enquiries I had about travel and transport etc Even though it is quite a large hotel, the friendliness of the staff gave the hotel a warm and personal feel to it.
very good ratio comfort/price
Hotel reception staff were very helpful.
It was an economy trip first time traveling to France it was an Okay place for the price might not used it again The hotel was under renovation should have mentioned it on the website some of the staff were not as welcoming as some others. One attendant spoke Spanish and English and he was very welcoming and friendly
the restaurant
Clean and comfortable. One light not working on arrival.
friendly helpful staff (we speak no French) Our room had been used by a smoker
Obliger de dormir dasn la famille car la clef n'etait pas prã©sente a l'endroit prã©vu
Handy position coming from UK to Paris.Good staff and relaxed atmosphere.Pleasant area to have a beer after work.
It was quiet and I always enjoy having a kettle in my room for making extra cups of tea early morning and late at night. The staff were helpful. It was not exactly in the town but some way out and quite difficult to find.
Very well run hotel managed by a nice and helpful family.
Very cinvienient to the Town. Easy to find. The room was very smelly. Prieiouse guests had been smokeing
Staff very helpful, going the extra mile to help with various things we needed. Safe place, good parking for large family car, close proximity to train station into Paris, with good grocery shop right outside the hotel. The kitchens were very handy for us, we had four teenage kids and it was convenient to always have something in the fridge. Internet did not work and the attempts from the hotel to fix the problem failed. This is not set-up as a business hotel.
It was very hard to find this hotel. Without a map or GPS, it is impossible for a foreigner to reach there.
I think it is an excellent price for this time to travel, especially for a familiy trip.
The location is quite close to Paris (30 min by car from the downtown provided there is no congestion). The apartments for 4 people are quite functional, with kitchenette and two rooms. A good way to stay close to Paris and save money. The rooms are very basic. The douche in our bathroom was broken, and water would stay in the sink. The area is not inspiring at all: construction works all around. The roadworks in St-Denis (that would continue until somewhere in 2011) made the trip from Paris to the hotel a real nightmare. The bed in the living room was rather small even for 2 kids.
Hotel tres bien place (les plus proches voisins sont un supermarche et une foret), a 17 km de Paris, une magnifique panorama du Paris qu'on peut admirer dans un parc d'Andilly, appartemet tres bien equipe et propre, personnel tres sympa, bon-marche, j'y reviendrai avec plaisir.
The cooking facilities. Late night noise from other residents. Difficulty finding it.
The willingness to help - staff. The cleanliness. The quietness. The provision of bed linen/towels Not well signposted when coming from Domont direction. Crockery/ Cutlery rather poor in quantity. E.g. there was no kettle, no tea spoons, only one knife. It would have been nice to have some saches of coffee, tea, sugar, milk - to make a cup of coffee/tea on arrival.
price, close locations of supermarkets, kitchen facilities in the room Internet! extreamly expensive and did not work!!! it'd better not to offer it at all!!! so if you need internet during your travel - choose another hotel!!!
Rooml was clean and functional. The hote sits on what appears to be a redundant building site. I asked for a hairdryer and the hairdryer could not be found. If you want the room serviced you have to pay 10 euro per day extra, which we were not advised.
Our room was very adequate for our needs and we liked the fact that a restaurant was available at the location.Staff were very helpful.
Staff very friendly and helpful. Warm reception and atmosphere. Very pleased with room - the standard of facilities / cleanliness was exceptional for 2 stars. We travelled by motorcycle, and found the parking to be secure and private. Some people might be put off by the 30 - 45 minute walk to the train station, but we really enjoyed the local scenery and small town charm of the highstreet. Hardly worth mentioning, but there was no lock on the bathroom door.
It was not as close to paris as i have been told by booking. i would not use the campanile Sannois - Ermont.
The bathroom was ok, but the towels were very old and the roughness not good. There is no electricity converter for international conectors.
all very good service A* transportation, we spent alot on taxis to and from hotel
I like in thie hotel the proximity of the motorway, about 1km, and close to paris.
It was easily accessible from motorway and within easy reach of paris city centre. It was quiet and clean. Breakfast was good. They did not do what they said they would do. eg putiing an extra single bed in one of the rooms for my youngest child. But having sain that, I dont know why they agreed to itin the first place because the room size was not big enough to take an extra bed, and we managed anyway.

Take it from a liberal media expert: pro-life conservatives are really "vampiric" "vultures" who "exploit" "dying babies" to create their own "spectacle." That's according to one Salon writer – who seems to be wearing her own pair of spectacles.
When it comes to the value life, the networks are prioritizing a baby animal above a baby human – down to the very minute. During Tuesday morning's news shows, the three broadcast networks combined spent more time on a 3-month-old orca's death than on a 11-month-old British baby's impending death.
NPR's Morning Edition on Monday zeroed in on a pro-life group's ongoing protest outside Kentucky's last abortion clinic. Correspondent Lisa Gillespie featured three pro-abortion activists during her report versus just one pro-lifer. Gillespie also let one of the abortion backers smear pro-lifers as potential terrorists. Vicki Saporta of the National Abortion Federation contended that prosecuting those who use the controversial tactic of blocking abortion clinic entrances prevents "the kinds of arsons, bombings, and murders that we've too often seen."
Newsweek, the failing magazine that went digital only and then barely came back to life, on Tuesday delighted in the "left" calling Donald Trump's speech to the Boy Scouts a "Nazi Hitler Youth rally."
CNN actually sent out this mobile alert Tuesday. You would think the alert aspect of their app is meant for news notifications, but CNN just can't help itself as they continue their war on the president.
The liberal media never help themselves, do they? Late Monday night, they showed just how shamelessly hypocritical they are when it comes to civility, trashing cancer-stricken Republican Senator John McCain (Ariz.) as someone who would send millions to their deaths by voting on the motion to proceed for repealing and replacing ObamaCare.
The Simpsons creator Matt Groening led Comic-Con in an anti-Trump chant – and the liberal media loved it. HuffPost reported July 22 that Groening led "hundreds of fans in a rousing chant: 'Lock Him Up!'" The chant mimicked the "lock her up" chant Trump supporters had regularly chanted about Hillary Clinton.
CNN's New Day co-host Alisyn Camerota had Brian Stelter interview her about her new book, Amanda Wakes Up. In this interview, she took another jab at the network that made it possible for her to succeed. She criticized Fox for wanting things portrayed a certain way, which is hilarious considering the disaster of a network which is CNN.
Tuesday on ABC's The View, the panel talked with a self-identified "polyamorous" bisexual actor Nico Tortorella and a group of "sexually fluid" teens, to help educate them about the broad and confusing world of their community. While the panel called on the media to give more positive representations of "sexually fluid" people, the hosts themselves admitted they didn't even understand what the terms meant. In an unintentionally comical segment, the panel grew visibly more confused and frustrated while scrambling to understand the rules and norms of their more "sexually progressive" young guests.
Appearing on MSNBC's 11 a.m. ET hour on Tuesday, NewsOne Now host Roland Martin said something so offensive about President Trump that even liberal anchor Stephanie Ruhle had to object. Discussing the President giving an unusually political speech to the Boy Scouts on Monday, Martin launched into a tirade: "Here's the deal, large rallies for Donald Trump – that's his crack. He is addicted to it. He is a crackhead when it comes to large crowds."
On Tuesday's New Day on CNN, co-host Chris Cuomo began his interview with House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) worrying about whether or not the Democrats were seizing a political opportunity. He then moved on to questioning whether or not the Democrats were effectively defending ObamaCare.
Hard-left NBC host Seth Meyers on Monday turned his attention to trashing the newest member of the Trump administration. After cheering the departure of Sean Spicer, the Late Night comedian offered rapid fire mockery of Anthony Scaramucci: "He is a human pinky ring. He is the human embodiment of a double-parked BMW."
What's more important: a historic memorial, or a statue of a deceased manatee?
USA Today reported on a local Florida man's petition to remove a Confederate veterans memorial and replace it with a statue of "beloved" Snooty, a manatee who according to the site, "died in a tragic accident at the weekend only days after celebrating his 69th birthday."
The set of Morning Joe became chaotic Tuesday morning as the President's tweets finally drove co-host Joe Scarborough off the deep end. The incident occurred after the President seemingly tweeted out a response to the panel criticizing acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe. What followed was a confused and disturbed rant by Scarborough which seemed to trouble even those around him. At its end, Scarborough frantically begged the President to cease watching the show yelling out, "I am 100 percent serious! He needs to stop watching this show!"
Demonstrating that the New York Times' political bias permeates every section of the newspaper, comes a glowing news story by Howard Megdal on the WNBA's Seattle Storm donating ticket proceeds to the abortion provider Planned Parenthood: "Franchise In W.N.B.A. Is a Platform for Activism." Yet while the Storm's activism was "historic," the Times is rather hostile toward signs of patriotism (much less overt conservatism) in athletics.

Male Formula XL Overview
The Male Formula XL product is designed for men as a way to help improve* their sexual performance and other aspects of male health including stamina, sexual endurance and desire. There is no official website with information about this particular brand of supplement, nor is the manufacturer known. Any information about Male Formula XL is to be found on a few retail sites that carry the brand, including Ebay, where it is sold wholesale. Because there is no official site, information regarding the brand is severely limited. There is said to be a risk-free trial offered, but no details of this or the actual cost of the product are provided. It is known however that by taking advantage of the risk free trial the consumer is enrolled in an auto shipping program, something that not all consumers may want.
Male Formula XL Product Details
The actual ingredients contained in Male Formula XL can only be guessed at given the fact that there is no information available. Knowing how it is supposed to work and the effect it has on the male sexual performance, the formula likely contains some amino acids called Prosexual Nutrients that enable more blood to flow through the veins to the penile chambers. This is the process that helps support a powerful and firm erection and increases sexual endurance. Another ingredient commonly used in this type of product is Caltrops, a natural substance that is linked to healthy levels of male sex hormones*, vital to a number of different aspects of male health.
The supplement is either taken on a daily basis for a cumulative effect, or just prior to sexual activity.
Advantages of Male Formula XL
- Male Formula XL is sold by independent retailers.
- There is a risk free trial.
- The product may improve* levels of sex hormones*.
Disadvantages of Male Formula XL
- The manufacturer of Male Formula XL is not known.
- The cost is not listed.
- The Male Formula XL ingredients are not listed.
- No clinical testing is shown.
- There is no official website for the brand.
Male Formula XL The Bottom Line
There is no way that this product can be recommended to consumers hoping to improve* their sexual energy and overall activity. With so many competing products on the market, the chance of any consumer opting for Male Formula XL without knowing more about it is very unlikely. And while it is appreciated that a risk-free trial is offered, it is unclear how to order this without seeing the official information. Consumers would be advised to seek a more well-known brand.

Cellaring Info
We often get asked about cellaring LA FRENZ Wines. Our recommendation is to store the wine at a constant temperature of around 16C degrees, away from sunlight, with the bottle on its side. Cellaring at lower temperatures will cause the reds in particular to precipitate tannins and lose structure, and will slow development. Higher temperatures will cause the wines to develop prematurely.
LA FRENZ red wines
Our red wines are all ready to be enjoyed upon release but with ideal cellaring can be kept for up to 5 to 10 years for further developed complexity. Reserve Pinot Noir, Malbec and Syrah should be consumed up to 5 to 7 years from the vintage date. More structured reds such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and the Grand Total Reserve will continue to develop for up to 10 years from the vintage date.
Why decant?
It is normal for red wines to develop a harmless deposit of tannin tartrate complex during cellaring. This needs to be removed by careful decanting.
LA FRENZ white wines
Generally our white wines should be consumed within approximately 5 years of release. Our white wines are fresh, vibrant, and fruity when consumed in the first 2 years. From 2 to 5 years, they will develop rich, rounded, honeyed flavours and become more golden in colour.
Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, and Chardonnay are all wines that we believe are best consumed in the first 1-3 years from release. Riesling, Semillon, Alexandria, and Reserve Chardonnay are wines that will develop in the bottle for up to 5 years. Decanting is not generally necessary for white wines. Serve white wines slightly chilled but not cold.
LA FRENZ fortified wines
Our fortified Tawny and Liqueur Muscat are barrel aged before bottling. These wines change very little once bottled and because of the higher alcohol levels can be opened and then consumed over several weeks. Vintage Port can be consumed upon release but will gain further complexity for up to 20 years bottle development. These are best served at room temperature, definitely not chilled.

Rafting on the Xiuguluan River in Hualien County
By Phil Dawson
The summers in Taipei can be overwhelming; even for long-term residents the combination of high temperature and humidity is often quite exhausting. Fortunately, Taiwan has a plethora of water-based activities to help you cool off and get outside to make the most of the summer.
Taiwan, being an island, has no shortage of scenic sandy beaches that during the summer draw in tourists and locals alike looking for a cooling swim in the ocean. Fulong on the northeast coast and Kending at the southernmost tip of the island are two of my favorite beach destinations. However, taking a dip in the ocean isn't the only way to cool off here, and those looking for a bit more excitement will be enticed by the many fantastic surfing spots, such as Wushi Harbor in Yilan County and Jialeshui in Pingtung County. These are among Taiwan's best surf locations, and during the summer, particularly on weekends, are magnets for the island's growing surf community. Sea kayaking, snorkeling, and scuba diving are other great ways to get wet and enjoy the amazing coastal scenery – above and below the waterline.
The local beaches are wonderful, yet they are only number two on my list of ideal summer destinations. The rivers and streams that wind and bore through Taiwan's mountainous body are the real highlight for me, and any summer visit to Taiwan must include sampling one of the many idyllic locations. The mountains that cover about 70% of the island are laced with hundreds of incredible streams of crystal-clear water. During the hot summer months, many of these streams become excellent locations for exciting river-tracing and kayaking outings, which combine physical challenges with the pleasures of playing in the refreshing waters while surrounded by stunningly beautiful natural scenery.
The steep gradients of many of the mountains also mean that rivers and streams often flow fast, with numerous waterfalls and rapids along their course to the ocean, making some of them suitable for white-water rafting. One of the most scenic and best known is the Xiuguluan River, situated about one-third of the way from Hualien City to Taitung City. The river originates in the high mountains west of Ruisui town, traverses the East Rift Valley, and cuts through the Coastal Mountain Range before flowing into the Pacific Ocean. White-water rafting trips are available on the river around the year with the best time from April through November. There are several companies that organize trips; most will arrange transport for you from Hualien City, which makes rafting convenient to tackle as part of a short weekend trip. These companies also offer several other activities, including whale-watching (winter/spring is the best time) and night-fishing trips. Another interesting activity is river-tracing – unquestionably a must-do for all lovers of the outdoors!
My latest trip to the Xiuguluan River was in June 2009. Three friends and I took the train from Taipei down to Ruisui early one Saturday morning, a day with perfect, cloudless blue skies. Though for many the small town of Ruisui is thought of as nothing more than the starting point for rafting trips, it is also a very nice launch-point for explorations of the scenic East Rift Valley. Decorated with huge fields of waving paddy rice and with towering mountain ranges framing the valley east and west, this is a great area in which to cycle or stroll around. The valley is especially attractive in the winter, when fields of golden-yellow rapeseed flowers create marvelous scenes and fantastic photo opportunities. On this summer day, however, it was over 35 degrees Celsius and we only had one thing on our minds – cooling off and getting wet!
Before our rafting trip we had to attend a safety demonstration and watch a video explaining what to do in an emergency. This was a pleasant surprise for me; in other places that I have rafted in Asia the safety briefings have often been of the "put on your life jacket and get in the boat" variety. The rafting companies provide helmets, life jackets, and all other safety equipment that is required. It is also possible to buy/rent rafting shoes and other items of clothing that you may have forgotten to pack. After about half an hour standing around in the blazing sun with all equipment on, we were finally given the go-ahead to go down to the river and get in the rafts. There was a temptation to just bypass the craft altogether and jump straight into the cool, refreshing water, but somehow we managed to resist. The rafts seat about eight people, so we shared ours with a group of young students from the city of Changhua on Taiwan's west side. Another pleasing difference about rafting in Taiwan is that you are in the boats on your own; there is no instructor/guide with you. The lifeguards drive around the river in small motorized boats to keep an eye on things and make sure everyone is safe, and being in total control of your own boat makes things a lot more fun.
In general the rapids are class 2 to 3 (skill level: basic to experienced paddling skills), although after a typhoon has just passed they can get up to class 4 (skill level: whitewater experience), the best time to go if you are looking for excitement. The organizers assure visitors that the ride is safe at all times, however. The first half of the trip, which lasts a total of around 4 hours depending on the water levels, wasn't as intense as on previous trips I have been on, the water levels being low, but what the Xiuguluan River lacks in speed it makes up in natural beauty. We were quite happy to at times slowly drift down the river taking in the expansive views of our grand surroundings. The rafting trips here are suitable for all ages/abilities, making for really fun family outings. However, bear in mind that, no matter what level the water is at, you will certainly get very, very wet during the trip, so it is a good idea to invest in a waterproof camera if you want to capture memories of your trip in digital-still format!
Even though in the first leg the rapids weren't as exciting as we had hoped, much fun was had. The minute we jumped into our raft we began splashing all the other rafts in our group; soon all twenty were involved in a no-holds-barred water fight. We splashed at anyone who came near us, and splashed each other when no-one else was in range. At one point we were so involved in the war of the waters that we didn't see a set of rapids ahead. As we entered them I was flung out of our boat and into the water – fortunately, however, I had the presence of mind to grab my friend and pull him in too! Though I had always thought it would be an incredibly scary experience being thrown into the middle of swirling rapids, it really wasn't at all. We just lay on our backs, as we had been instructed to do, and soon caught up with our raft to be pulled back aboard. The biggest problem we had was that we were laughing so hard the others had to struggle that much harder to haul us into the boat!We stopped at the halfway point for a lunch provided by the rafting company and a well-earned rest. The second half of the trip was a lot more exciting, for from this point the rapids sections become a lot faster and more concentrated. We soon realized that our crewmates had preferred the relaxing first half, and I often turned my head round as we bounced up and over the waves to find them cowering on the floor of the boat in the tuck position. The boats are pretty easy to control – except when half the crew stop paddling and hide! As a result we found ourselves spinning through the fast-flowing water and bouncing sideways off protruding rocks.
Our run finished, after a quick shower at facilities provided, and after lots of photos taken with our new friends, we were driven up to the nearby coastal highway to catch a bus south to the city of Taitung. For a small fee, each rafting company in operation here can also provide transport back to the starting point at Ruisui or to Hualien City. The sun was just setting as we boarded the near-empty bus that would take us down the coast to our next destination, and we were all in good spirits after a superb day in the great outdoors. We passed the time planning our next rafting trip – hopefully when the waters are higher and the river is in the mood to give us an even better ride.

If you're a network administrator for a small network, you can use all the automated tools you can round up. Keeping track of every device on your network and key information about each can be a daunting task. That's where LizardSystems's extremely useful Network Scanner software comes in.
Network Scanner by LizardSystems is a great tool that scans your entire network, then gives details about everything it finds - the IP address of every device, and important information about each. The information it uncovers is especially useful for security purposes. For each computer (PCs as well as Macs), Network Scanner reports whether remote administration is enabled, and lists any folders that are shared publicly. That way, network administrators can quickly identify security holes, and close them on individual computers.
On my network, Network Scanner by LizardSystems was able to see every single device, including several PCs, a Mac laptop, home server, wireless router, and even a Motorola Xoom Android tablet. It didn't give details about the router or tablet, but that's because there was no information to give; they don't allow remote administration or have any shared folders.
See all: PC Advisor Software Downloads
Network Scanner by LizardSystems: Specs
- File Size: 2.02MB

- File Size: 2.02MB
- Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/Windows 7
There's only one drawback to Network Scanner: its price. At $40 for businesses, it's only for those who truly need it for work. But those who do need it for work will find the pricetag to be well worth it in saved time and peace of mind. And for non-commercial users, it's free with registration, so it's fine to use it on a home or non-profit network.

Oscar hopeful "Silver Linings Playbook" expanded into 367 theaters -- up from 16 last week -- and took in $5.9 million over the five days. It brought in $4.6 million over the weekend, good for a solid $12,597 per-screen average.
"We were hoping for around $4 million to $5 million for the holiday, so this is a great second week for us," Erik Lomis, head of theatrical distribution for the Weinstein Company told TheWrap Sunday. "There was a lot of competition for adult audiences out there."
The company had planned to go into as many as 2,000 theaters before Thanksgiving, but shifted gears and decided to go with a more gradual platform release schedule.

"We're in it for the long haul," Lomis said, indicating the company would likely keep the theater count steady for at least another week. The plan is to go wide with the David O. Russell-directed dark romantic comedy as the awards season nears. Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro star.
