This fall is the intersection of number of high-profile "event" theatrics by Marvel, and November seems to be the crossroads for a number of things that will shake the foundations of the Avengers. From the replacement heroes of "Avengers NOW!" to the shifting alignments of heroes and villains in Axis and even the future-stories in Avengers and New Avengers "Time Runs Out," it looks to be a tough time to be an Avenger.
But the antics aren't confined just to the Avengers side of the Marvel U, as the November 2014 solicitations reveal some shake-ups on the X side of things as well. A new one-shot spinning out of Death of Wolverine has reared his head, a popular Batman Eternal writer is jumping to Marvel, and some of the X-Men are moving to a new HQ.
Continue on for our picks at the top ten revelations unveiled in Marvel's November 2014 solicitations, from the loss of arms to the loss of jobs and the loss of two ongoing series…
…and one more thing: President Obama is under mind-control at Marvel in November!
After coming into comics under the wing of Scott Snyder, writer James Tynion IV has spread his own wings with solo work at DC as well as on the independent front with series at Boom!. And now Tynion is going to new heights – and returning to an old editor – as he takes over Amazing X-Men with November's #13.
Of course Tynion was already announced as coming to Marvel with an issue of Death of Wolverine: The Logan Legacy, but that issue -- #6 – won't actually hit stands until December. That makes this work on November's Amazing X-Men #13 his Marvel debut, and the latest in a string of firsts for Tynion in the past 12 months. Newly entrenched X-Men editor Mike Marts edited Tynion previously as lead editor of DC's Batman titles (and Fawkes, and Higgins, and Bennett…), so the hiring of this writer speaks more to the incoming editor placing people from his virtual rolodex into positions at Marvel.
This hiring also underscores, however, the creative shifting sands that Amazing X-Men has undergone. Launched last year with writer Jason Aaron, Tynion will be the fourth writer to the book in just over a year (five if you consider co-writers Christopher Yost and Craig Kyle). Similar things have happened on the artistic front, with Ed McGuinness dropping out of the book midway through Yost & Kyle's "World War Wendigo" arc with no real regard to artistic continuity for the arc.
Will Tynion and his accompanying artist Jorge Jimenez a long-term part of Amazing X-Men, or just a short-term stint? It remains to be seen.

During the mid-2000s, one of the most common jokes amongst Marvel fans was the busy schedule Wolverine must keep as a simultaneous member of multiple Avengers, X-Men, X-Force and even his solo book(s). But come November – two months removed from Death of Wolverine -- he looks to be even busier. In November's Marvel solicitations, we learned of another post-Death of Wolverine tie-in book showing the ramifications and reactions to Logan's demise with Death of Wolverine: Life After Logan.
From the solicitations, Life After Logan looks to be an anthology title with three stories covering the response several of Logan's teammates have to hearing of his death. The cover features Cyclops, Colossus, Nightcrawler and Armor -- in a beautiful image by Javier Pulido, we should add.
When the calendar flips to November, Marvel's "Spider-Verse" will be in full swing and for Miguel O'Hara that means swinging back to our future – his former present.
In the solicitations for Spider-Man 2099 #6, it's said that O'Hara will find himself back in his home time period of 2099 – along with two fellow Spiders: Lady Spider and the six-armed Spider-Man. The solicitations there's "no time for nostalgia" in this throwback 2099 future, but we can always hope for some familiar faces from 2099. Hey, we'd even settle for Ravage!
Readers hated him until they loved him – then he died. Marvel teased his return with an untold story from his past in recent Superior Spider-Man issues, but according to November's Amazing Spider-Man #10 solicitations the Superior Spider-Man is returning for reveal.
Even with his death there always the question about his brain floating around in the Marvel U, and according Marvel's pronouncements the villain-turned-hero-turned-tweener will return to lead the "Spider-Verse" forces against Morlun. Question is – I wonder what Peter Parker has to say about that?
Also, another former Spider-Man is returning in November – the Ben Reilly is on the way back as part of the debuting Scarlet Spiders series. Send in the clones!
In recent months we've seen Doctor Strange go down a dark path – even darker than what led to him being removed as Sorcerer Supreme for a time after World War Hulk. He was reestablished to that role, but Avengers & X-Men: Axis #5 say a new Sorcerer Supreme will be tapped this year – a female one.
There's no word yet to the identity of the incoming Sorceress Supreme, but given the solicitations' pronouncement of a connection between her and Doctor Doom and the image on Axis #6's cover of Scarlet Witch holding the Latverian dictator, it could mean that Wanda Maximoff might have a new job title.
While it's far from certain until revealed in comics, it would seemingly be an ideal way to fortify the character leading into 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron, perhaps even setting the table for a Scarlet Witch solo series – a long-overdue first for the mutant Avenger.
And one thing we overlook in all this speculation – where would this leave Doctor Strange?
In last week's Original Sin #7 we saw the first signs of Thor losing his worthiness to hold Mjolnir; leading up to the already announced female Thor taking his place this fall. And now in a cover to Thor #2 by Esad Ribic, we're seeing Thor's not only losing his hammer – but also the arm that wielded it.
Ribic's cover shows the former Thor's arm from the bicep down being a metallic replacement. While this could simply be an armor protecting this appendage for some reason, we've already seen in Jason Aaron's Thor: God of Thunder a future version, dubbed Old Man Thor, without his right arm. Could Thor #2, or some story leading up to it, show how it came to be? Seems that way.
The Hulk is no stranger to being on the run, but it looks like Mr. Fantastic and Black Panther are joining him on the cover to Avengers #38. This story, which is part of "Time Runs Out" and depicts events to happen in 2015, looks to see these three foundational Marvel characters being hunted by four younger Avengers – Black Widow, Spider-Woman, Captain Marvel, and Captain America.
The solicits for Avengers #38 tell us nothing about the story inside, but given recent events and actions by the Illuminati in Avengers this could possibly see the Avengers at-large turn against the Illuminati over their world-building (and world-destroying) deeds they did. Hulk might seem out of place as part of the Illuminati given that group's part in in Planet Hulk, but Banner was inducted into the group earlier this year.
After being plagued with cancellation rumors for months, November's Marvel solicitation showed the critically-acclaimed Superior Foes of Spider-Man was indeed coming to an end – and the New Warriors are as well.
From interviews and marketing, it seems Superior Foes of Spider-Man was planned as a finite story and that Marvel gave series creators Nick Spencer and Steve Lieber the space to wrap up their story properly. And Lieber's cover to #17 looks to revel in the final act, showing the impromptu team dining at the shawarma restaurant from the post-credits scene of 2012's Avengers movie. Look at the menu in Boomerang's hand to see some easter eggs about the editors involved to the book… and hey, don't those restaurant staff look familiar?
On the New Warriors front, #12 marks a full year – and two collected editions – before Marvel called a halt to it. The cover by Stacey Lee shows the team in a moment of reflection amidst rubble, which is somehow apt given the series' conclusion. One would hope that Marvel will give this team another chance in a couple years with a renewed vision or perhaps some sort of MCU synergy.
Buried in the text of November's All-New X-Factor #16 is a nugget of information that could be mined for a whole series; the idea that as part of Axis the Red Skull has taken control of the President of the United States. Although it's not said who the President is, previous Marvel stories have pegged it as Barack Obama – just like here in reality – so it's interesting to see where Peter David will go with that.
And man – what an interesting and potentially explosive variant cover that would make.
Last week we learned that the second act of this fall's AXIS, dubbed "Inversion," will see several allegiances flipped between the heroes and villains involved with the event. The "Superior" Iron Man looks to be the poster boy for this, but from the looks of it others will be joining into the switcheroo.
Dubbed "The Axis Effect" in the solicitations for Superior Iron Man #1, we're seeing heroes as villains – and villains as hero – in something a few shades removed from DC's Forever Evil earlier this year. While we don't know if it's a complete flip for all the players on this chessboard – I would balk at the idea of a heroic Red Skull – it will be interesting to see who does what and how Rick Remender gets to that point organically. We've learned that the brutish armored individual on Axis #4 is named KLUH - "Hulk" backwards - he's the Hulk's Hulk, as On another front in Axis, in Axis #5 the X-Men will be loading up their jets and moving. But the question is who, and where? There are multiple X-teams floating around at this point, be it Cyclop's gang from Uncanny to Jean Grey's group in All-New and even the Wolverine-less Wolverine & the X-Men group (also seen in Amazing X-Men), among others. While this could be a secondary or tertiary team picking up stakes (The X-terminators reunite in Austin, Texas!), I would doubt Marvel would choose anyone but one of the main teams for this move.

Definition of syngenetic in English:
Relating to or denoting a mineral deposit or formation produced at the same time as the enclosing or surrounding rock: these ores are of syngenetic origin
More example sentences
- Two terms that are still commonly encountered when discussing the classification of ore deposits are syngenetic and epigenetic.
- A syngenetic origin of sulphides was suggested by early workers, mainly based on the stratiform and stratabound occurrence of the sulphides in ironstone.
- Setting quartz inclusions (at least the protogenetic and syngenetic ones) apart from your standard-issue nine-to-five mineral is the fact that they are stuck inside another growing mineral (quartz).

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- A very emotional Brett Favre has bid farewell to the Green Bay Packers. The three-time NFL Most Valuable Player broke down into tears several times as he thanked current and former coaches as well as the fans. He said, "it's hard to leave."
After composing himself, Favre said he'd given everything he could to the organization and football. He went on to say he knows he could still play but that he just doesn't want to. Favre says he has no regrets about his career and that being in Green Bay was a "perfect fit."

Ah, dog beds. Vehicles of lounging and laying about. Symbol of all that is cushy and pampered in our furkid's lives.
How pugs know you well.
Seriously, the princess has a love affair with beds. (Okay, well, we help her with that, but still.) Beds of all sizes and shapes. If it's comfy enough to do some serious snuggling or flopping upon, then the princess pug would like one now, please. Or perhaps two. May we line the floor with them, actually?
The folks at The Puppy Hugger set out to help fulfill the princess's wishes by sending along not one but two of their (and we don't say this lightly) stellar dog beds.
The style of these beds are spot-on perfect for everyday lounging. Nest-style, they come up around your pet to hug them gently as they sleep. And believe us when we say we've tried dozens of beds in our lifetime - nest beds and den beds are always a good choice for pets. They just love 'em.
We actually like the notched donut style of the Puppy Hugger dog beds - it's a little lower in one spot. That's perfect for Merry to rest her chin in (and she does); it's also a perfect spot to grab on to when you're moving the bed around.
And fabrics: hoo! Let us tell you about these fabrics. Every single style (and there are many, many of them) in the Puppy Hugger line is a butter-soft faux fur, incredibly well made with lots of fibers. Most of their furs are not only stain-resistant (hello!), not only richly textured and soft, but also unique to Puppy Hugger. It means you're getting something just a little more unique. And when we're talking luxe, girlfriend, that's a plus.
Another feature we really liked: these beds are the same on the top AND bottom. It makes the bed completely flexible - if one side's a little matted down, flip the bed over! The workmanship is serious and excellent - everything's double stitched for extra longevity.
If we've said it once, we've said it a million times - the hallmark of a quality bed is in its loft. If it's so squishy that your pet nearly sinks to the floor on their first try, what will it be like once they've laid about on it for ages, once the thing's gone through the wash? Call us padding snobs, we don't care - to us, a quality, much less luxury bed, is one that supports your pet properly - off the floor, just as you like to be on your sofa.
Puppy Hugger beds are all that and a cherry on top. We've never seen such densely lofted beds. These are nicely firm, incredbily well padded and supportive (though we'll admit they're not lightweight as a result of all that padding!).
The beds are also all one piece. No zippers, velcro, sharp edges of any kind. To wash, just toss the whole darned thing in your washing machine and then lay flat, flipping every few hours to dry. Expect it to take at least a day to dry thoroughly, depending on size!
A great suggestion from the company: sit a Puppy Hugger bed on your sofa, and save your cushions from pet hair. Since the bed itself provides "sides" for the dog to curl up against, they're not curling up in the corner of your couch any longer.
We were incredibly impressed and thrilled with these beds - for nest dog beds, they're easily the nicest and likely the longest-lasting we've seen (both the fur and interior are made with an eye for longevity). And seriously, how cute is the pink fun fur on Merry?
Four paws, and two human thumbs up for Puppy Hugger dog beds!

How to back up a database with thousands of files
I am working with a Fedora server that runs a customized software package. The server software is quite old, and its database consists of 1,723 files. The database files are constantly changing – they continually grow and changes are not necessarily appended to the end. So right now, we currently back up every 24 hours at midnight when all users are off of the system and the database is in an internally consistent state. The […]Continue Reading »
Moving database to new server
I'm restoring a backup of a production database to a new server. The new server also hosts the application which makes use of the database. As such I'd like to use the same user/pass combination to connect to the database. The user is also included in the database backup so I thought that should work. However the user doesn't exist as a (database) user on the new server. So I created a new server user […]Continue Reading »
If I have Postgres streaming replication on, do I still need to archive my WAL files?

I'm aware that the archived WAL files allow me to "go back in time" to a previous snapshot of the database, but for my particular application, I have no need for such a feature as long as my standby […]Continue Reading »

SQL Server Agent job fails to backup to remote folder
I have created a SQL Server Agent job (in SQL 2008 R2) to back up some databases on a server.

How can I backup a large database in mysql? Folder size of Database is more than 5GB & contains 1.5 Lakh tables. I have tried to backup server through phpmyadmin but no luck.

It was the way most connected to the World Wide Web in the 1990s, complete with its extremely distinctive sound—dial-up.
Using a modem (short for modulator, demodulator), dial-up internet connects through telephone lines. While connecting to the ISP (Internet Service Provider), the modem made a distinctive electronic sound.
These were very common during the 1990s, when the internet was truly becoming more common across the United States and the world.
However, starting in the 2000s with the advent of DSL and then cable modems, broadband became more widely used—offering extremely fast download speeds and better performance overall. While most people use broadband now, there are still some in underdeveloped and rural areas that only use dial-up internet.
To download 700 megabytes (the amount of data that is on one CD/CD-ROM), it would take approximately 113 hours on 14.4KBps (a common early dial-up speed) and 29 hours (a common late-generation dial-up speed). The same file would take less than an hour with cable internet, and even less on more-powerful "T1" and "T3" connections.

About tarmacman
tarmacman posted a topic in Audio & Electronicscouldnt afford to have a hands free installed so I made my own. I bought a pc conference microphone and 3.5mm audio splitter from maplin . I already had a standard audio lead. removed glovebox in my focus removed av socket , plugged standard av lead into it and fed wire behind dashboard and out into storage area under stereo . Stuck microphone on to dash with supplied small sticky pad , fed wire into same storage area . connected both wires to splitter , single jack end in to phone ( iphone 5s ) I have enough wire to put phone pretty much wherever i want , and when not in use the wire is stored out of sight behind the storage area door. Works great (have to have stereo on aux , but that doesnt bother me as i always listen to music from iphone anyway ) incoming calls come through the speakers and i have auto answer active on my phone so it automatically answers after 3 rings. Totally hands free. probably been done before , but well proud of myself lol. The microphone is very small and unobtrusive but is great , i dont even have to raise my voice ! saved a packet !

from the New York Times (Registration Required)
Geologists have long known that Earth's core, some 1,800 miles beneath our feet, is a dense, chemically doped ball of iron roughly the size of Mars and every bit as alien. It's a place where pressures bear down with the weight of 3.5 million atmospheres, like 3.5 million skies falling at once on your head, and where temperatures reach 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit -- as hot as the surface of the Sun. It's a place where the term "ironclad agreement" has no meaning, since iron can't even agree with itself on what form to take. It's a fluid, it's a solid, it's twisting and spiraling like liquid confetti.
Researchers have also known that Earth's inner Martian makes its outer portions look and feel like home. The core's heat helps animate the giant jigsaw puzzle of tectonic plates floating far above it, to build up mountains and gouge out seabeds. At the same time, the jostling of core iron generates Earth's magnetic field, which blocks dangerous cosmic radiation, guides terrestrial wanderers and brightens northern skies with scarves of auroral lights.
Now it turns out that existing models of the core, for all their drama, may not be dramatic enough. Reporting recently in the journal Nature, Dario Alfè of University College London and his colleagues presented evidence that iron in the outer layers of the core is frittering away heat through the wasteful process called conduction at two to three times the rate of previous estimates.

By By Tech. Sgt. Sonny Cohrs, USAFJanuary 3, 2008
LA CEIBA, Honduras (Army News Service, Jan. 03, 2008) -- A Civil Military Operations team from Joint Task Force-Bravo delivered 100 donated wheelchairs to disabled villagers on the isolated Miskito Coast of Honduras Dec. 28.
For Sgt. 1st Class Julio Reyes, the Civil Military Operations noncommissioned officer in charge, this was his first role in a civil-military operation. His coordination and planning brought the first 100 of what will be 460 wheelchairs to the area. He is currently planning to deliver the remaining chairs directly to the remote villages in need.
"We're pretty much the link up between the military and the missionaries to make sure the chairs get where they need to be," Sgt. 1st Class Reyes said. "These wheelchairs are for some lobster fishermen who lost the use of their legs. And it's important for us to show we're here to support them since we're guests in their country."
Using two U.S. Army CH-47 Chinook helicopters to transport the wheelchairs was a lot easier and quicker than the alternative, Sgt. Reyes said. Moving the chairs by truck over the region's poorly maintained rural roads would have taken more than six hours.
The wheelchairs were donated to isolated villages along the Miskito Coast by the Alabama non-profit organization Missions Unlimited. The chairs will help the many lobster fishermen along the coast who have lost the use of their legs from the effects of decompression sickness while diving for their catch.
Ken Key, chief executive officer for Missions Unlimited, dubbed the wheelchairs "the gift of mobility" for recipients. He says the program's volunteers are akin to honeybees.
"It's a lot of people doing a little bit at a time," he said. "And they all work together to make a sweet product."
The wheelchairs were flown from the United States to Honduras aboard a U.S. Air Force aircraft under the Denton Amendment program. That program allows private U.S. citizens and organizations to use space available on U.S. military cargo planes to transport humanitarian goods to countries in need.

How to Teach Teens to Spend Responsibly
As job prospects for college grads darken, many parents are weighing bailouts or other support for young-adult children with heavy debt loads, as reported in today's "Work & Family" column. Other parents are struggling to get teens and young adults to stick to a budget.
That's not always easy in a culture where lavish televised "Sweet 16" parties and opulent rapper lifestyles suggest big spending is synonymous with hipness. College students away from home for the first time are especially vulnerable.
"Man, are they spenders!" says Vanessa Van Petten, 23, founder of OnTeensToday.com and a mentor to teens and their families. "They'll work a job where they make maybe $10 an hour, and they'll go online and buy a shirt for $39.99. That's five hours' work, with shipping. And they have no concept that, 'That's five hours of horrendous time on my job, which I hate going to do.'" Late-night pizza-and-sub deliveries add to the bills, she says.
Teens have begun to trim spending in recent months, market researchers say. Those cutbacks are being accomplished one teen at a time. When one Omaha, Neb., college student piled up more than $1,300 in revolving debt, his father insisted he call the credit-card company himself and negotiate a payment plan, teaching him not to ignore calls from creditors. In another route, parents lend teens or young adults just enough money to keep up with monthly payments — then hold them to a written repayment agreement with firm deadlines. Such a strategy, says Gail Cunningham, a spokeswoman for the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (www.nfcc.org), can be a good "middle-of-the-road solution."
Also, when considering gifts for indebted teens, Ms. Van Petten suggests, give them one month's credit-card payment rather than a new consumer item.
To teach teens to avoid such problems, credit counselors suggest giving high-school students lump-sum payments each semester, based on an agreed-upon budget for food, clothing and school supplies — then holding them to it. If he or she runs out of cash, the consequences are the teen's to bear. This is a tactic I'm planning to try with my own teenage son.
What techniques have you found for teaching teens to stick to a budget or get out of debt?

Hugo Jose Sanchez thought he had it all figured out. The 57-year old man from the United Kingdom planned to establish a business in the burgeoning 3G computer graphic imaging (CGI) and animation industry in Costa Rica. Working as a web developer for music retailer HMV was not cutting it, and he longed for the success of companies such as the Morpho animation studio in San Jose. Perhaps he thought he could hire a few talented Ticos to work for peanuts at a "render farm" or CGI sweatshop and get to emulate the achievements of master computer animator Thelvin Cabezas from Cartago.
At any rate, his dreams did not work out the first time around. According to an article by Rowena Mason and Martin Evans in The Telegraph, Mr. Sanchez began to rack up credit card debt in the town of Farnham, Borough of Waverley, County of Surrey. That was back in 2003. In 2004 he moved with his wife Sophie to Costa Rica to set up the computer animation enterprise, but things did not work out and so they returned to England.
Back in the UK, Mr. Sanchez incurred into even more debt. He is originally from Ecuador, and he flew there and faked his death with the complicity of his wife. Death benefits from Mr. Sanchez' life insurance policy were collected by his then-presumed widow, and the credit card debt and loans were paid off, some with death protection plans. Mrs. Sanchez returned to Costa Rica at that moment with the nice sum of 112,000 pounds sterling (about $175,650 these days). She also received monthly payments.
The Elvis CD
In 2005, a friend of Mr. Sanchez used an HMV discount card to purchase an Elvis Presley CD, which in the end proved to be cruel. The friend was arrested and tried to call Mr. Sanchez to clear things up. By then he had moved to Australia with his wife. They were quietly living their lives Down Under with false identification documents, but in 2010 Mrs. Sanchez flew into Heathrow to attend her sister's wedding. She was arrested, prosecuted and sentenced to two years in prison.
Authorities in Sidney eventually caught up to Mr. Sanchez and extradited him to England. Before Oxford Crown Court, the man pleaded guilty to a dozen charges of fraud and was sentenced to five years, of which he is expected to serve half. The couple has four children.
Why Costa Rica?
Costa Rica is a prime tourist destination, and our vacations can be legendary, but are they worth the fabrication of a death, which is a punishable offense in most jurisdictions?
Mr. Sanchez is not the only person known to fake death in order to travel to Costa Rica. Back in January, American publication Time Magazine reported on the case of New York City woman who extended her 2010 spring break vacation by faking her daughter's death. Joan Barnett is a public school employee who asked one of her daughters to contact her employer and claim that her sibling passed away in Costa Rica from cardiac arrest.
Mrs. Barnett jumped on an airplane and came down for two and a half weeks. She faxed a death certificate from Costa Rica to New York City, as required by administrative rules. School officials had suspicions and looked into the matter. When the death certificate was determined to be a sham, Mrs. Barnett was dismissed from her job and charged with a misdemeanor, to which she pleaded guilty.

Garden Club meeting THIS Saturday (Change of day)Posted Wednesday, December 2, 2009, at 8:34 PM
This will be our first alternating meeting day for our garden club. We are trying this to see if folks will be able to attend, who might not be able to come to a Friday gathering.
As always, everyone is welcome.
My greenhouse plants have been trimmed and re-potted this week, but not by original intent. Instead, the puppy we picked up off the road learned how to come inside with the other pets and she has energy to spare. I never know what condition the greenhouse will be when I step into it.
Showing comments in chronological order
[Show most recent comments first]
Now you want to know where it is and the time too? Golly?
Sorry folks. I had just written to the paper about it and thought that I had touched on it. I had, just not here.
No one has confirmed a different venue so we will return to Richard's Cafeteria at 6:30. Maybe the folks who show up on Saturday will make changes, but that is what we have now.
Thanks for asking espoontoon.

GLControl for Gtk#?Posted Sunday, 6 April, 2008 - 12:13 by simonescu in
Hello everyone,
I'm curious about the possibility of a GLControl being made for Gtk# controls (widgets)? Since there's only support for Windows.Forms, is there any other way get a non-windowed GameWindow or something of that kind?
Thanks for your time, take care
You can already use gtkglarea-sharp with OpenTK.
There are also plans for integration with GTK# before OpenTK 1.0 comes out, and JTalton has provided code. It's not a high priority at the moment, but if you wish to contribute things will move faster :).
I am aware of GtkGLArea-Sharp, though I haven't been able to find a win32 build library for it. My goal is to develop mono + opengl based applications that can be compiled both on Windows and Linux.
Though I'm still fairly new at OpentK, I'll be sure to contribute, when I can. Thanks for the fast reply!
There are a couple of unmanaged projects out there for GTK OpenGL widgets.
* GtkGLArea - http://www.mono-project.com/GtkGLArea
* GtkGLExt - http://www.k-3d.org/gtkglext/Main_Page
There is a .NET binding for GtkGLArea.
* GtkGLAreaSharp - http://www.mono-project.com/GtkGLAreaSharp
I am not sure if GtkGLArea currently works on Windows.
If you can get cross-platform .NET support working with these I'd love to hear about it, and also how hard it is to get setup.
I have written my own GTK OpenGL Widget:
* Crossplatform - Windows/Linux
* .Net Managed Code - pinvokes directly into the system libraries instead of a wrapper around a managed gtk widget.
* Shared GLContext - So textures, display list, etc, can be shared across widgets.
* Single .cs file and class that can be easily included and used. (Or you can use the binary)
If you compile on Windows, the control works on both Linux and Windows. If you compile on Linux, for some reason it does not work.
I plan on moving my development to Linux now that MonoDevelop 1.0 has been released. I'll look into this issue soon.
I am leaving on a trip, but will provide the source code and binary in a few days on my site. http://www.golem3d.com
GtkGLAreaSharp is supposed to work on Windows. The only problem is that there just isn't a library compiled for Windows anywhere on the internet to be found. And the Linux dlls in a Windows environment don't work either, for sure. I however contacted the maintainer of this project and he said that he had had a built win32 lib somewhere lying around ... i'm waiting for him to get back to me on this. If it's good news, I'll be sure to post it here.
As for GtkGLArea and GtkGLExt, a win32 build is simillary hard to find and I need a C# component anyway.
Your own GLWidget however sounds great. If you can, please leave the source & binary on your site, I'll check it out.
And thanks for the reply.
The only problem is that there just isn't a library compiled for Windows anywhere on the internet to be found.
Compiler bugs aside, the linux library should run on windows without problem - or am I missing something?
I thought so too. But I get a Type exception every time I call the constructor of GLWidget, so I guess it isn't Windows compatible. Or am I missing something?
Do you have a link to the source code?
GTKSharp GLWidget
If you compile on Windows it seems to work great on Windows and Linux.
For some reason it does not seem to work if compiled on Linux. (That was a while back, it may work.)
It is not a wrapper around a c++ version. It performs direct pinvokes to the system libraries.
It does allow for a shared context between controls.
Feel free to copy/modify/use the code any way you want.
Gtk.GLWidget for GtkSharp
After several requests and questions from different sources I decided to look into getting the GLWidget code working better on Linux. (Using Ubuntu 8.04)
* Code works beautifully under Linux and Windows.
* Compiled library that acts as a widget library for MonoDevelop.
* Example project and executable on web site.
I would love to hear about any successes or questions.
I have successfully tried your GLWidget example.
Thank you, this will make my day a lot easier :)
I will post you a link if my program ever gets finished.
By the way, it looks like GLWidget isn't compatible with the latest OpenTK DLL.
There's no more OpenTK.OpenGL namespace. I fixed changed that to OpenTK.Graphics, but now am getting error:
Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: No GraphicsContext available in the calling thread.

SEATTLE, Wash. – Sophomore right fielder Nick Torres hit two home runs and drove in five runs while three Cal Poly pitchers combined for 10 strikeouts and no walks as the Mustangs defeated Washington 5-3 Saturday afternoon at Husky Ballpark.
With the win, Cal Poly evened its three-game baseball series against the Huskies at a game apiece. The Mustangs, who had a season-opening seven-game winning streak snapped Friday night, improved to 8-1 on the year while Washington fell to 3-7.
Washington scored twice in the third inning before Torres (pictured at right) turned things around with a three-run home run to left field in the fourth. He added a two-run shot, also to left field, in the sixth for a 5-2 Cal Poly lead.
Washington tallied a run in the bottom of the sixth before junior right-hander Michael Holback relieved starter Matt Imhof and shut the door on the Huskies. Holback pitched 2 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing no walks with four strikeouts, before giving way to Reed Reilly in the ninth.
The Huskies produced two singles in the ninth and had runners at first and third with one out when Reilly was summoned from the bullpen. The sophomore right-hander struck out both Andrew Ely and Alex Schmidt to end the game and pick up his fourth save.
Imhof (2-0) allowed three runs – his first earned runs surrendered this season – and nine hits in 5 2/3 innings with four strikeouts.
The loss went to Washington junior right-hander Nick Palewicz (1-2), who gave up five runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings with one walk and three strikeouts.
Torres has three home runs and a double in the series after collecting just five hits in the first seven games of the season. He now has three home runs this season and eight in his Mustang career.
Junior third baseman Jimmy Allen and sophomore center fielder Alex Michaels each added a single and double, but the Mustangs were outhit by Washington 11-7.
The Huskies were led offensively by left fielder Joe Meggs, right fielder Jayce Ray, second baseman Robert Pehl and designated hitter Michael Camporeale, each with two hits.
Final game of the series will be played Sunday at 1 o'clock with Cal Poly to send sophomore right-hander Bryan Granger (2-0, 1.93 ERA) to the mound against Washington sophomore right-hander Tyler Davis (0-0, 5.23 ERA).

After a four-year absence, Schuberth helmets will return to U.S. dealerships in mid-October. And this time the German brand should have greater staying power because Schuberth itself owns the importer. Meaning no more relying on third parties.
To explain: At the beginning of the present century, the motorcycle industry was abuzz over the Concept modular helmet made by Schuberth and imported into the U.S. by Intersport Fashions West. But the high-end brand was in weak hands. In 2003, Intersport was bought by Fairchild Sports, itself a dying company that would stop selling the helmets by 2007.
During that six-year run, however, the Concept — and later the C2 and S1 — charmed more than 25,000 motorcyclists who liked being able to take riding breaks without having to remove their helmets. Schuberth appealed especially to long-distance BMW riders enchanted by the clean design and German heritage.
After so many years, one might guess that most Schuberth owners have moved on to other brands. But a good number haven't, according to Randy Northrup, general manager of Schuberth North America in Aliso Viejo, Calif.
Northrup, who provided us with the 25,000-plus estimate, says Schuberth owners in the U.S. have been sending e-mails to Germany headquarters requesting replacement shields, liners and other maintenance items. But because the DOT-approved versions of the helmets are different from their European counterparts, the company couldn't help.
Northrup uncovered further evidence of a cult following in mid-July at the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America Rally in Redmond, Ore. "I'm not sure exactly how many thousands of riders were up there for the rally, but there were literally hundreds of people wearing their Concept helmet," he says. "The Concept helmet is at least six years old. Some of those things are even older, and there were dozens and dozens of people who were wearing them. In fact, we serviced over 200 helmets while we were up there, and we were there for just three days."
Testimonials don't get much better: so many people willing to stick with helmets that for years have been both irreplaceable and unserviceable. "Some of those helmets were so worn," Northrup says. "They were functional but worn. The liners were all worn out. You could tell they had maybe 100,000 miles on some of these helmets."
Besides the e-mails from past customers, why has Schuberth chosen now to return to the U.S.? One reason has to do with the brand's ownership. About three and a half years ago, Northrup says, an investment group based in Philadelphia bought Schuberth. So it's a U.S-owned company.
Another reason is the brand's success in Europe, especially with its latest flip-up model, the C3 introduced in summer 2008. "If you look in the European publications, they all say that Schuberth is the No. 1 brand," Northrup claims. "Most people have a lot of confidence in the brand, so they do really well in Europe. Then, of course, the American investors were going, 'Well, how come they aren't here?'"
Much of that brand confidence, Northrup says, can be traced to the reformatting of the business by Marcel Lejeune, who became CEO in 2008. The company's marketing department has placed renewed emphasis on the brand's success in Formula 1 racing. One story is especially memorable: In summer 2009, Schuberth-wearing racer Felipe Massa survived after being hit in the face by a spring that had come loose from the car in front of him (click here for details). He was going 175 mph at the time.
"The accident brought Schuberth to the forefront of all safety-related head protection," Northrup says. Founded in 1922, the company also makes products for fire fighters and the industrial safety industry. Schuberth started making motorcycle helmets in 1954. Northrup says the company also makes all BMW's helmets, which the OEM no longer exports to the U.S. due to the country's litigiousness.
Other Schuberth-wearing F1 racers include Michael Schumacher (shown) and Townsend Bell.
Schuberth's re-entry plan
Schuberth hired Northrup in March to write a business plan and hire staff. Two people he hired had once worked for Fairchild Sports: Sarah Schilke, Schuberth N.A.'s marketing manager, and Mike Talarico, its technician service manager who will be traveling across the country to train dealers.
Talarico spent nearly two weeks in Germany "training on every helmet scenario of being able to disassemble and reassemble," Northrup says. "We've all spent a tremendous amount of time in Germany over those first several months training and learning about the company." (Schuberth also invited the media to visit its factory and offices, which employ about 350 people, according to Northrup. Click here to read Motorcycle-USA.com's photo-heavy report.)
All Schuberth helmets are made in the German factory, which has its own wind tunnel and testing facility. Says Northrup: "I've worked with a lot of different helmet manufacturers, spent a lot of time in Asia, and immediately when I walked into the German facility, I was going, 'Whoa, this is different.'"
After joining the Motorcycle Industry Council, Schuberth opened an office/service center in Aliso Viejo in mid-July (though the grand opening was in September). "I said that's where we've got to start," Northrup says. "We can't start selling new helmets until we can at least offer service on all the Schuberth helmets already out there."
The company is now signing up dealers in the U.S., Canada and Mexico to become "certified service centers" and "fitting stations." Liability will not be an issue, Northrup says, because none of the fixes will be safety-related. "The people who are wearing Schuberth helmets are putting on tens of thousands of miles a year. That means the shields are going up and down hundreds of thousands of times a year, so they just need a little bit of tightening or a fresh face shield."
There are multiple buy-in levels for dealers, but fitting stations will need to carry all sizes and colors of the C3, which Northrup describes as "the lightest helmet with the smallest overall shell size that includes an internal sun visor." He also claims it's "quieter than most full-face helmets on the marketplace, less than 84 decibels of sound at 65 mph" (click here to download a Schuberth N.A. brochure). The helmet comes with a Pinlock visor, is DOT- and ECE-approved, and has an MSRP of $699.
Another model that will be sold in the U.S. is the C3W, the first flip-up helmet designed for women. Schuberth says the model takes into account smaller head sizes as well as "a woman's unique facial shape."
None of the other Schuberth helmet models shown on the European website will ever be imported, Northrup says. A full-face model, however, is in the works for next summer. Available now is a Bluetooth communications system made by Cardo Systems specifically for Schuberth helmets. The $399 product is a simple neck roll replacement.
To receive and distribute all its helmets from a centralized location, Schuberth has contracted with a third-party warehouse in the Chicago area.
As far as marketing goes, Schuberth is buying print advertising in BMW Owners News and other publications. At select stops of the International Motorcycle Shows (it will have displays at all stops), Schuberth will be offering "test rides" in which people who ride to the event can take a borrowed Schuberth out on the road.
In-store merchandising materials include an etched-glass LED reflective sign that glows. A helmet display is about three months away, Northrup says.
Schuberth N.A. is looking to sign up 25 "charter" dealers with a service center and 50 retailers overall by the end of the year. Open areas include Denver, Houston, Atlanta, North Carolina and Austin, Texas. The majority of the retailers will be BMW dealers, but not all. "We're working with almost every dealer to make sure if they want to buy in, they can get involved," Northrup says.
Schuberth also will be retailing helmets on its website (www.schuberthnorthamerica.com) through dealers. "The dealer locator finds out the closest dealer, and that dealer gets credit for the sale," Northrup says. "It's also listed as the return location if that helmet doesn't fit."
Northrup says retailers will be able to use Schuberth to attract riders from far and wide. "And hopefully they'll ride over with two or three of their friends," he adds.
Northrup describes Schuberth's overall approach to the U.S. market as "slow and methodical." But that doesn't mean low-energy. "Once we started announcing things, dealers came out of the woodwork due to the pent-up demand," he says. "It's a pretty exciting time for us."

Welcome to Robin Hood's merry England
The latest Ridley Scott epic highlights some of the myths that exist abroad
Newark Castle, Nottinghamshire: King John, a villain of the Robin Hood era, died here
Robin Hood will be riding through the glen yet again this month, at least on the silver screen - and no doubt Ridley Scott's epic is not the last we'll see of Friar Tuck, Maid Marian or Robin himself. Nor of Merlin, Lancelot and King Arthur, for that matter, given the fact that myths and legends are woven into our national psyche, and we seem to love keeping them alive.
To make it easier to follow in the footsteps of Robin and other legendary heroes - not to mention a fair few real and legendary villains - Visit England has launched a new Myths and Legends map and website.
Naturally, the new movie will focus attention on Sherwood Forest, though there's no evidence Robin actually hung out there. Still, it's a beautiful nature reserve and a good place to explore the myth of the man through an exhibition which traces the folklore. Nearby Nottingham is a thriving city often overlooked by tourists, though not for much longer, given that the evil Sheriff who was Robin's nemesis had his HQ in the Castle.
There is some fine art in here, and the nearby caves, which date back to the Middle Ages, and will be popular with children. Grown-ups could take respite, as the crusading knights did, at the Old Trip To Jerusalem, a 12th-century inn carved into the castle rock. Its cellar was once part of the castle jail and would certainly have held outlaws from Sherwood Forest.
King John, another villain of the Robin Hood era, is also linked to Nottinghamshire. He died at Newark Castle, a spectacular ruin with a fine Norman gatehouse whose towers and dungeons can still be toured.
In truth, Robin of Sherwood may have been Robyn Hood of Wakefield or Robert Hod, who fled York after defaulting on a debt in 1226. But he is most likely to be Robert, Earl of Huntingdon, whose tomb stands close to Yorkshire's Kirklees Prior.
It's here the fictional hero was bled to death by his cousin, and then shot an arrow through the window, telling Little John to bury him where it fell The clue lies in the epitaph engraved on his tombstone, which includes the lines: "Never was there archer as he so good... and people called him Robin Hood."
Whatever the truth, Yorkshire is a beautiful county and a great place to explore legends, starting perhaps by gazing upon the Rudston Monolith near Bridlington in the East Riding.
The tallest standing stone in England, this 50-ton slab is three storeys high and nearly five foot wide and believed to have been dragged there by Druids 2500 years ago. Legend has it that men who touch the rock with their wedding ring three nights in succession will never have to resort to Viagra.
Not far away is the spooky Burton Agnes Hall. In this Elizabethan Mansion lies a so-called Screaming Skull, said to belong to Anne, the youngest daughter of the family. A victim of murder, her dying wish, was to be laid to rest in the new home she would never survive to enjoy. Her sisters refused, but soon after Anne was buried, strange happenings began to take place. Her head was returned to the Hall, but future attempts to remove the skull resulted in more hauntings, so it has been carefully hidden in the building - and hopefully visitors won't trip over it.
Unlike Anne, Ursula Shipton grew up to become a famous soothsayer of the 16th century. Mother Shipton, as she was known, foresaw the Spanish Armada, the execution of Mary Queen of Scots, the Civil War and even the invention of the steam ship. The cave where she was born lies beside the river in pretty Knaresborough, on the doorstep of the Yorkshire Dales, where it has predictably become a visitor attraction.
Given that Arthurian legend is centred on south-west England, the north-east also has unlikely associations with Guinevere and Lancelot. The Queen and her favourite knight are said to have escaped, after their adulterous affair was discovered, to Bamburgh Castle on the Northumberland coast.
Whatever the truth of the rumour, this coastline is glorious, particularly Holy Island and Lindisfarne - both replete with their own legends - and kids will enjoy exploring Alnwick Castle, celluloid home of that much more modern legend, Harry Potter.
Tintagel, on the north Cornwall coast, is where King Arthur is said to have been born - and what a spectacular ruin it is today, a wonderful place to wander in, standing over the sea, and perhaps relax in one of the grassy "rooms" with a good book. But travellers should beware a much more modern legend, the Beast of Bodmin, as they drive south on the A30 - this large black feline has been sighted on the moor many times.
Camelot is not the only legendary kingdom to be centred on Cornwall. The Lost Kingdom of Lyonesse is said to have stretched 28 miles out into the Atlantic from Lands End, a land of thriving towns and farms that was home to tragic lovers Tristan and Isolde. Fascinatingly, the two legends have some crossover - it was in Lyonesse that Arthur is believed to have fought his final battle against Mordred, and the Scilly Isles are believed to be the remnants of the mythical kingdom.
Where there's sea, mermaids are never far away, and there's a plaintive tale linked to the one carved into the 600-year-old bench at St Senara Church in Zennor on the west Cornwall coast. This is where handsome Matthew Trewhella once sang the closing hymn, enchanting a fish-tailed girl from nearby Pendour Cove with his lovely voice.
She used to turn up to services wearing a long dress to hide her tail, but eventually had to come clean about being a creature of the sea - whereupon young Matthew carried her back into the waves and was never seen again. Visitors sitting above Pendour Cove still report hearing him singing at sunset on warm summer days.
Whether returning to London, Manchester or Birmingham, the route back from Cornwall leads through Somerset, England's capital of myth and legend. Here lies Wookey Hole, occupied by a wicked witch who ruined hundreds of young lives until she was exorcised by the Holy Clerk of Glastonbury.
Now mercilessly exploited as an attraction, Wookey has recruited a 21st-century woman to play a witch for the entertainment of visitors. But Glastonbury itself is home to at least 100 real witches.
The town, which is built on the confluence of several ley lines, is a centre of Wicca and full of shops selling magic wands and other spell-weaving stuff. Glastonbury is also believed to be the seat of the King of the Fairies, a Druid sanctuary, a beacon for UFO's and the hiding place of the Holy Grail. No wonder the Festival is always a sell-out!
Even those of us who live in cities are never far from legends, it seems. South of Manchester is Alderley Edge, whose Wizard inn is named for the old man believed to be Merlin who tapped a rock at this lovely wild site with his staff to reveal iron gates leading to a hall full of sleeping knights.
To the north lies the land of the Pendle Witches, hanged following the nation's most famous witchcraft trial, while to the west lies Beeston Castle, where Richard II is said to have dumped his treasure at the bottom of a well shaft before abdicating.
London is home to Dick Whittington's stone on Highgate Hill, the ravens of the Tower of London and - yes - Camelot, believed by some to be located on the small moated island hidden in a beech wood behind Trent Park.
It seems there's no getting away from Arthur, and if we are all being led a dance through Merrie England looking for him and Guinevere, Robin and Marion, beasts and witches, it will at least be a beautiful midsummer night's dream - providing the weather holds.

Off topic. I took a motherboard and bits to the Watford Linux group last
night to see if they could test it for which bits had failed. It turned out
that nothing had failed. Removing the processor and re-seating it did the
trick. Might be worth remembering if you or someone else has a problem.
