Dorsey Is Joining Disney's Board
Walt Disney said Monday afternoon that Jack Dorsey, co-founder and executive of Twitter and Square, is joining the board.
"Jack Dorsey is a talented entrepreneur who has helped create groundbreaking new businesses in the social media and commerce spaces," said Robert A. Iger, Disney's chairman and chief executive officer. "The perspective he brings to Disney and its Board is extremely valuable, given our strategic priorities, which include utilizing the latest technologies and platforms to reach more people and to enhance the relationship we have with our customers."
"I am honored and humbled to join the Disney Board," Mr. Dorsey said. "Disney is a timeless company, one we all grow up learning from and admiring."
Dorsey is up for election along with other directors at Disney's annual meeting March 18, 2014. Judith L. Estrin, an author and former executive at Cisco, won't stand for re-election as Disney caps the number of years allowed on the board at 15.
Dorsey, a billionaire on paper following Twitter's successful IPO earlier this year, recently said he would give back roughly 10% of his stake in Square as the payments company gears up for its own possible IPO in 2014.
Here is the full press release.
Dorsey took to Twitter in a bid to put it all in perspective:
"I only hope we don't lose sight of one thing—that it was all started by a mouse."—Walt Disney pic.twitter.com/MgY9byVIkz

Three-time graded stakes winner Tapizar, runaway winner of last weekend's Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (G1), will enter stud in 2013 at the Beck family's Gainesway Farm, it was announced Thursday.
A three-time stakes winner this year alone, the 4-year-old is coming off an emphatic win in the $1,000,000 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (G1) on Nov. 3rd at Santa Anita under Corey Nakatani. Bred and raced by Winchell Thoroughbreds and trained by Steve Asmussen, Tapizar becomes the first Grade 1 winner by Champion Sire Tapit to stand at Gainesway, where he will stand alongside his sire.
Gainesway President Antony Beck expressed his pleasure with the addition of Tapizar to the stallion roster.
"We have been looking for the best son of Tapit to stand at Gainesway ever since it became apparent what an exceptional stallion he is," he said. "Tapizar certainly fits the bill. He's the third stallion that we are standing for my good friend Ron Winchell."
Beck further noted Tapizar 's precocity and commercial appeal. "Tapizar broke his maiden by 10 lengths as a two-year-old at Churchill, then won his Graded stakes debut despite a testing six panels in 1:08 3/5," he added.
Tapizar is out of the winning Deputy Minister mare Winning Call, and from a family which has been in the Winchell family hands for three generations. This direct family includes Grade 1 winner Paddy O'Prado, Grade 1 winner and sire Olympio, and Grade 1 winner Pyro, each of whom was bred and/or raced by the Winchells.
"We have always felt Tapizar was an elite racehorse," said Tapizar's owner and breeder, Ron Winchell. "I am very proud that he was able to deservingly fulfill his destiny on the racetrack. I am also very pleased he will be standing at stud next to Tapit at a truly premier farm."
Tapizar retires with a record of 14-6-1-1 and $973,632. His victories also include the San Fernando S. (G2), Sham S. (G3) and West Virginia Governor's S. Tapizar's 2013 fee is $15,000 LFSN.
Tapizar is available for inspection beginning Friday, Nov. 9, 2012 from 11 am-3 pm.

I just upgraded, and all the places on my custom post type page where custom fields are output show as "Array".
Any ideas why this is?
Also on archive pages, the custom post type entries do not appear.
I just upgraded, and all the places on my custom post type page where custom fields are output show as "Array".
Any ideas why this is?
Also on archive pages, the custom post type entries do not appear.
Can you just Deactivate and Reactivate the Plugin.
Moreover can you please provide the field type associated with the problem.
Also update the plugin to 1.6.5
I upgraded to 1.6.5 and deactivated and reactivated the plugin, but the same happens. It applies to all fields, the fields are type "text". You can see the page here, where ever the word Array is there should used to be a value with version 1.5 http://bit.ly/iyBvam
One more thing, I have not touched my template code, but this is what I am using to call the custom field value.
get_post_meta($post->ID, 'name', true)
Really glad that u gave the code you used to call custom value, else i would have been annoyed thinking that it was related to my plug in.
You will need to use my shortcode to get the values from the database, because from this upgrade I am storing everything in an array. All you need to do is replace these calls with the shortcodes. you can add the html script to post type's template on post type edit page.
Or you can change the code of your template file and use the function do_shortcode(); for calling off the shortcode.
Hope you'll soon solve you problem. And from next time onwards do provide full information before blaming anyone.:)
So something like this?
do_shortcode('[xydac_field]{id}[/xydac_field]') this goes in a function.. making your plugin only use shortcode makes is much more restrictive. My code was set up well, also, it was not 100% clear that you had removed the use of
I may have to move to GD instead. Or revert back to 1.5.
Could you explain where you informed users of your plugin, that you stopped support for
get_post_meta? I now have to re-write all my code again. I read your changelog, but nowhere did I see you say "The plugin does not support
get_post_meta" I use a lot of if and else statements against a value for
get_post_meta now this code has to be re-written.
Hey josefdunne ,
First off, You are getting a lot angry on me mate for the problem caused to you.
You shouldn't be getting so angry coz in the recent updates I have made huge changes worked day and night and delivering such a plugin for free.The problem to me isn't that my plugin caused a lot of problem for you, the problem is that u don't know how to solve it, and shouting on me.
I'll tell you one this my dear friend, the technology you are working with is PHP and it's on WordPress. So chill of dude, coz if you don't like any function the way i do just make a damn change and you are done.
Now moving to your problem,
You used
get_post_meta($post->ID, 'name', true) to access the custom values, so all you need to do is re-define the function
get_post_meta in a file for your use. In that function first you should check for an arrayed value so you don't bug up any other kind of custom field. If the value is array then the format i use for my custom fields is as below:
meta_name :
meta value :
array({field_type} => {field_value})
it's as simple as that.
I would have actually written the function for you, but i would leave it for you to fight with. It's your decision to use my plugin or not, even on top of my plugin file says, the software come without warranty. so my dear friend..Enjoy...!!

Monkey loves toys that he can ride. It doesn't matter if it is a tricycle, push car, or even a big stack of medical books... just as long as dad is there to push him around. Unfortunately, I think Monkey gets his coordination from me. He has yet to grasp the concept of pedaling his tricycle and gets frustrated that the ride-on toys we have here are too small for him. He needed something made for a "big boy" that didn't require a whole lot of coordination but was super fun (and super fast!)
From the moment I saw the PlasmaCar by PlaSmart I knew that it had to be a hot and popular toy. I figured it had to be a newer toy since I have never seen one before. I was surprised to find out how long the PlasmaCar has been around and how many awards it has received.
- 2009: Voted #1 Top Spring and Summer Kids Essentials by disneyfamily.com
- 2009: National Parenting Center, Seal of Approval
- 2008: iParenting Media Toy Award in the Toy Category
- 2008: Fat Brain Toy Award in the Active Play Category
- 2007: TD Monthly, Top Toy Award
- 2006: TIA (Toy Industry Association) Toy of the Year Nomination
- 2006: Learning Express Stores; Most Innovative New Product
- 2006: Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, Platinum Award
I was a little worried when the PlasmaCar arrived and it said some assembly required. I have had a few bad experiences putting together toys for Chunky and Monkey that had hundreds of parts, hours of assembly, and all the headaches to go along with it. I was quite surprised when I opened the box and only found a handful of parts! Assembly was a breeze and, honestly, took under 5 minutes. The best part about the PlasmaCar is that there are no pedals, gears, or batteries required to run the car. All you have to do is turn the steering wheel back and forth and away you go. Monkey quickly understood how the PlasmaCar worked and had a blast riding it around. He rode the PlasmaCar for hours that first day and I think the only reason why he quit was because of nightfall and the swarm of Texas mosquitos that came with it.
Tha PlasmaCar is for ages 3+ and Monkey who just turned 3 yrs old had no problems riding around. I was worried about him falling off the PlasmaCar or it flipping over while he was riding it, but it is very well constructed and difficult to flip. The weight range is for up to 220 lbs on a flat smooth surface so even daddy could ride around if he wanted to (probably not something any of us would like to witness.) The only thing that the PlasmaCar is not recommended for is riding around on laminate or hardwood floors as it may scratch or scuff some surfaces.
PlasmaCar around the house on the carpet. Even though he has to do a little more work indoors to get the car rolling, he loves riding around the "obstacle course" consisting of various toys laying on the floor and occasionally a speed bump in the road named Bubba. It comes with a 6 month warranty against manufacturer defects and provides replacement parts for purchase if you wear out the tires from heavy usage.
There are a variety of colors to choose from and depending on how hard you search for the best deals online, I have found that price ranges from $50-$70.
PlaSmart, Inc. is a unique company that sticks by their philosophy of "smart, simple toys." Their products are fun, kid-powered and easy to operate. You can connect with them on Twitter and Facebook to see their full line of kid-friendly toys!

Spa REVIEWS: Six Senses Spa in Barcelona
The Six Senses Spa, a Thailand-based brand with locations in such paradisiacal locations as The Dominican Republic, Macau and Maldives, finds its Spanish outpost in a setting more urban—but no less awe-inspiring—than usual: the 43rd floor of the luxe Hotel Arts Barcelona. Inside the bi-level spa, which overlooks the Mediterranean Sea and offers sweeping city views, therapists take a wellness-oriented approach, affording clients a personalized touch with an emphasis on inner and outer cleansing.
As for the eponymous sixth sense? The company has pictorialized its mission on a six-dot pyramid symbol: Its foundation is formed by the three primary senses (sight, sound and touch); the second stage appeals to taste and smell; and the apex of the model symbolizes the singular sensory experience of a Six Senses Spa.
According to the service menu, the pyramid is a "visual testimonial to the belief that the spa experience may only be achieved once all five senses have been nurtured." Stirred to fully immerse my own senses, I traveled to Barcelona to find out firsthand how such a far-reaching vision is carried out. —Tracy Morin

Getting out of bed early in Venice is well-rewarded. For starters, you'll have the narrow streets almost to yourself before the thousands of daytime visitors swarm into the city. (And notice how fast all the locals walk – a Venetian explained to me that this stops their feet getting sore pounding those hard stone streets; all the tourists linger and get foot sore. I tried it – it seemed to work.)
Another good reason for early rising is to tour the Rialto markets. This is the heart of the city, the place everyone comes to get fruit, vegetables and fish. The barges pull in and noisy, frantic trading starts around 7am. Cross the Rialto Bridge from Piazza San Marco (St Mark's Square) and head right.
Along the front of the Grand Canal you'll find the markets which have been here since the 11th century, when all the ships tied up here bringing Venetians their daily needs. The buildings, squares and colonnades you find in this part of Venice now were built after a fire razed the area in the 16th century.
These days much of the area is taken over by souvenir shops, but the market continues if you push through the tack to the canal edge. The fish market, the Pescaria, is housed in a 1907 neo-Gothic pavilion, and the fruit and veg market is, confusingly, in the Campo de la Pescaria, where the fish market used to be.
Other streets are still named after their old functions, such as Campo dell'Erbaria, which was once an herb market; Riva del Vin, once the dock for wine-carrying ships; Naranzaria, which was once the citrus warehousing street; and Caseria, the old cheese street. A good cheese shop is still here, Casa del Parmigiano, and on the street Ruga degli Speziale, the old spice street, there is Drogheria Mascari specializing in spices.
Keep an eye out for stalls selling fruit and vegetables from Sant'Erasmo, a nearby island which has supplied Venice for centuries. Now you're eating local, cheap, and fresh, like a true Venetian.

Sofaboy - that's really interesting making your own gels as the shop bought ones are such a rip off for a bit of sugar.
Big G- I've heard that's a fast course, weather permitting you should get a good PB
bootsie - amazing you're still having twinges on your scar
Slowkoala - that's good news about the breakfast. Re the water, you can always take some money and stop at a shop/garage.
You will be fine re long runs for Feb, you've got a lot of long runs in the bank already then in March you'll do a couple more 20/22 and you'll be ready for April
S3200H - I loathe the wind too and still have memories of the fierce headwind when I ran Blackpool
Windy here today too, just went to the bank and my umbrella broke in the wind, had trouble squashing it in the litter bin which was already full of discarded umbrellas
I think VR starts her circus training tonight
I know shades! annoying
very windy around here at the moment, glad I ran at lunchtime!
VR - have you signed up for the TRX course or was that just a free trial?
Slowkoala - you're a speedy thing, I bet those runners that overtook you sat down at the nearest opportunity for a rest.
Still windy this morning, but not so bad and so mild.
not so much orgsnised, more a combination of a nerdy love of making stuff and a desire not to spend loads of oney.
went over on my ankle playing squash last night. i haven't hurt it badly, thank god, but the ligaments are pretty sore. hopefully i won't be out of action for more than a few days.
Shades - I think they are doing pay as you go for TRX now and not as a course.The girls that teaches it is a Trotter
Girl. Not girls! Haven't woken up yet!
Hi everyone - good to hear your progress - Did a good 28k on Sunday in 2.23. Enjoyed doing a new circuit, now 3 out of my 5 weekly runs are different ones and the change in scenery / cadence etc has made a big difference.
Rattler - lol re speeding up when you see someone else! Am now careful to make sure I am capable of sustaining my "showing off" pace for as long as I am visible... nasty experience a while ago of accelerating up a hill when I saw two cyclists only to discover when I got to a corner that it was a massive group of bikes and to save face I had to pretend that this was my normal speed until they'd all passed. When I finally got to the top was nearly sick behind a hedge and hobbled the rest of the way home...
Thank you for advice re juggling long runs with other races before marathon. Have also been worrying about losing endurance runs but not being too tired for 28k trail in 3 weeks and a half a couple of weeks after. Nutrition info useful too. Having never eaten before or during running am now trying to get myself used to eating something before long run (muesli bar this week seems ok).
Other news is that I tripped over my (one eyed) dog during a night run ending up flat on my face with large hole in favourite leggings Just thought I 'd share that with you all

...........I Am now careful to make sure I am capable of sustaining my "showing off" pace for as long as I am visible...
That's true, but with al these New Year resolution runners out and about, it's really tricky to avoid visibility
Maybe with February looming closer, they'll thin out a bit (or not )
Rattler - we can live in hope!
It's a not a very nice trait of mine, but I play "spot the newbie" as well.....
I always try and give an encouraging nod/grunt/wave (depending on if my lungs are bursting, or if I'm just out for an easy trot) as I do remember my first few runs and how horrible they were! Any ideas how many people keep their NY resolutions going into the medium/long term?
I often wonder about the gym membership/business model and also sales for magazines like Runner's World - my assumption is that they must see a big hike in sales in Jan/Feb, but does anyone know if that's actually true?
5 miles done in the rain but with knee pain from the first mile in.. not sure if muscles are tightening a bit too much, might need a massage!
Just back from a slow 7-miler today. I did exactly the same route yesterday at a faster pace and the results are below. To be honest, I found the slower paced run more boring but I know I've got to stick at that. I've got a 16-miler planned this weekend which I need to try and stick to the 9min30 (or slower) pace. There - I have put it in writing so that means I have to do it
Slower pace Faster paceTime 1:07:49 56:15Avg Pace 9:36 min/mi 7:57 min/mi
@Slowkoala - presumably both the Garmin and Nike are calculating pace from distance / time, can they give you both of these figures individually (time & distance)? If so, one of them's getting the time or distance wrong. - not sure if this helps? 12 secs / mile is a lot different. Can you use "mapmyrun" to plot your route and ensure the distance you're running is right (and agreed with the Nike and Garmin?)
A 5 mile tempo run for me tonight - felt like hard work. Going to struggle for all my runs this week due to work, will need to get creative - Tim
That's cleared that up then

2012 A Year of Flowers & Gardens: Part One
After editing lots of photographs and cleaning out my computer files I realized how many photos we've taken this year. As the year 2012 draws to a close, I thought we'd take a stroll down memory lane and show the highlights of the year. From one of my favorite flowering shrubs the hydrangea to the wonderful "Fairy Garden" we made last spring and the countless others, sit back and enjoy this visual recap of the gardens we created in 2012 at The Antique Garden.
Sedum wall hanging and new water feature
Arts in Bloom, Hagerstown Garden Club members Betsy Hardinge, Margaret Waltersdorf and I created a floral replica of this piece of Murano Art Glass in the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts in March.
Formal Urn Arrangement for Prep School Alumni Week-end
Blooming Garlic is a beautiful sight in the garden!
Daylilies and lots of them in the garden border~~~
Wild Flower Queen's Anne Lace looking elegant in the alley behind the store! Mother Nature is awesome.
The incredible Moon Flower, a night-blooming plant, is closing up for the day.
We said good-bye to dozens of our fish in 2012, as a wicked Blue Heron ate most of them. I know they aren't flowers, but I'm still venting….ah Mother Nature….
Our front porch planter box is filled with Black Eyed Susan's, the Maryland State flower.
Part 2 to be continued tomorrow, as we wrap up the year with holiday flowering arrangements. Happy Gardens Everyone and may 2013 be blooming!

The Best of Summer
Here is my recap or gratitude list, of what's been going on this summer. Although some may complain about the dog-days of summer, and it has been awfully hot, I'm trying to enjoy each and every moment of this season as it seems to fly by every year. Summer doldrums be gone!
Here is my list of what we've accomplished from the end of May through July and some events to look forward to next month including the onslaught of the zucchini! Think positive my friends….
1. Enjoying the beauty of our pond (with Dixie).
2. We gardened with lots of sedums this summer, a smart choice for the heat.
3. My canning fest has started and I've made raspberry jam, canned peppers, and made relishes. When the tomatoes are ripe you won't even see me for a few weeks. Very satisfying indeed!
4. The bounty of our
organic pesticide free garden is amazing. On a small plot we have more veggies than we can possibly consume, ergo the canning…
5. Zucchini bread to be made when the zucchini plants explode with supernatural abundance.
6. My fairy garden was so fun to make.
7. We are looking forward to the Leitersburg Peach Festival August 11th & 12th. This is what our store looked like last year.
10. Vegetable Garden and new hen house-soon to be completed….
11. Strolling on the boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach Delaware
13. Boating with friends on the Chesapeake Bay.
15. Sand in my toes and sunburned feet.
Quit yer complaining and make a gratitude list, it truly is the simple things that make one happy, don't you think?
PS I made an incredible cold soup yesterday featuring beets, that I want to share. It was a Julia recipe so how could that be bad? Julia knew how to cook for sure!
Happy Gardens, Jenn from The Antique Garden
Name That Plant?
Can you identify this strange-looking plant? No it's not a strange mutation or genetically engineered vegetable. To give you a hint, yes it is in the onion family. Did you guess? According to www.jungseed.com it is called a Multiplier Onion. Friend, artist and fellow gardener Harold Shapiro gave me a few plants several years ago. The Multiplier Onion is a top setting onion that is a perennial heirloom variety. Also called 'tree onions or 'walking onions', they form clusters of small bulbs or sets on the tips of the stalk. An established plant looks like a clump of scallions. Harvest the sweet scallion part in spring and small 'pickling onion' tops in the summer. Remember to leave a few bulbs to reseed for a permanent onion bed. Hmmm… I'm going to have to try to pickle my onion tops, sounds like another canning project in the works. For more information on the Multiplier Onion check out this site, which has all the details. There are so many unusual plants, I'm thinking of doing Name That Plant occasionally, what do you think???
Happy Gardening!

Hens & Chicks Planter Revisited
There are so many great sedum plants, its hard to choose. They range in price from $2.00 and up depending on size, multiply and grow year by year.
I had picked up a vintage galvanized chicken feeder a while ago at a garage sale and was saving it for a project. Being a chicken feeder, I thought what better upcycling project than adding Hens and Chicks, the plant. I think it came out pretty well.
First, I lighten the container up by adding Styrofoam peanuts to about 2/3 of the way up. I always save those peanuts for heavy pots and urns. Then I inserted a plastic liner and filled it with a good mix of soil, perlite and sand. Sedums prefer a sandy soil and can tolerate dry conditions. The sedums I choose are also perennials in the mid-Atlantic states so they can winter over in our region. Choose sedums that are native to your area or bring inside during the cold weather for more tropical succulent plants.Then I filled up the top with my favorite Hens & Chicks, Commander Hay, plus this nest of ceramic hens, that a friend gave me from this store.
I also filled the bottom feeder section with sedums that I had growing around our pond.
All in all I think it turned out well. What do you think? Drop me a line and let me know!
My Top 10 Favorite Things in the Garden
A visual graditute stroll through my backyard garden. I decided to count my many blessings yesterday and nothing makes me feel better than a stroll through the garden. Lets see…here is a list I created of my top 10 favorite things right now in the garden.
#1 My pepper plants are growing like mad and it won't be long until I start my canning fest. (click on link for recipes).
#2 Iceberg, romaine and leaf lettuce is exploding in the garden. Time to make spectacular salads like Martha Stewart's Main Course Cobb-yummy! The perennial boarders are showing some color.
#3 and #4 I adore day lilies and my favorite flower the hydrangea in pure white.
#5 The potatoes are nearly ready, can there be anything better than freshly dug Yukon golds and Red Bliss potatoes?
#6 Beets yup we have a whole bed of beets, both Detroit Reds and Italian Candy stripe. Not quite ready yet, these will be perfect for steaming, making relish, and pickling, not to mention pickled beets and eggs.
#7 The Raspberries are showing a bit of color and will make the most delightful daiquiri, sorbet and jam. They are like sunshine in a berry.
#8 Tomatoes. We got a late start planting the tomatoes but they are looking happy in their new home. This variety is called "Mortgage Lifter"!
#9 & 10 The best part, come with me as I show you our almost finished Hen House……
We have the feeder and water bucket, the sign and now we just need the little peeps!
So let me recap my top 10 garden favorites…1.peppers, 2. lettuce, 3. Day lilies, 4. hydrangeas, 5. potatoes, 6. beets, 7. raspberries, 8. tomatoes, 9. new hen house, 10. feeders and sign….UPDATE*****I have my new family flock of hens, take a look
This top 10 list isn't unique but an inspiration I got from reading a great blog www.inspiredbycharm.com this week-check it out if you like. I'll keep you informed of the garden's progress and let you know when our chicks arrive this summer. I can hardly wait!
Spring Vegetable Garden
What can be better than the Spring vegetable garden? After waiting out the long, dark, days of winter, even though ours was unseasonably mild this year, it is time to get outside and dig in the dirt. Not actually dirt, but carefully amended soil. We purchased rich compost from our local dump and tilled the soil until it was weed free and newly enriched. The fun part is selecting the seeds and young plants. We actually got a jump-start this year as March was record-breaking warm all across the U.S. and gave us the incentive to start our vegetable garden and new chicken coop project. Plus the flowering trees started budding out early as did the tulips, daffodils and forsythia a true sign that Spring had arrived in the Mid-Atlantic states. Selections for our pesticide free early vegetable garden include potatoes, onions, beets, Swiss chard, collard greens, lettuce, herbs and peppers. Tomatoes will be planted later when temperatures warm as will sweet potatoes, zucchini squash and beans. Our established perennial herb border is flourishing with oregano, comphrey, horseradish, garlic and onions.
Closer to the house is our grape arbor that has lots of green leaves just bursting to grow. The three year old vines sprall and shade our dog run in the summer while providing delicious grapes that the birds feast on! Hard to believe that this garden use to be just a lawn and we had never grown vegetables before. After three years we feel like seasoned farmers and rarely have to purchase produce in the grocery store anymore. Amazingly enough, we never spray for bugs and, knock on wood, the deer and rabbits haven't been a problem either. We usually get more produce than we can use, give lots away and can and freeze the rest. Give a vegetable garden a try, the only thing you will need is plenty of sun, vegetables like sun, and some good soil. Even container gardening can be satisfying, especially herbs, lettuces and cherry tomatoes. The benefits are tremendous and pay for themselves in healthfulness and savings in the market.
Small Batch Relishes & Jams
The Antique Garden Homegrown originated several years ago after we started vegetable gardening. John dug up the back lawn and created raised beds in attractive rows across the yard. We planted crops of peppers, tomatoes, beans, asparagus, raspberries, zucchini, lettuces, Swiss chard, beets, sweet potatoes, onions, herbs, potatoes and more.
We had a bumper crop of almost everything and we never had to spray for insects; something we liked a lot. I began preserving our bounty by freezing and canning, using old-fashioned, time-tested recipes, using the very safe water-bath method and new, American made, Ball canning jars.
Now we bring you the goodness of real food; prepared with garden fresh, pesticide-free vegetables. You will taste the difference of homegrown, small batch prepared food, using only our vegetables or those from local farms. We think you will love it! Our farmstand is open seasonally through December.
Support small local business, small farms and try our limited quantity relishes & jams today.

Varieties include Sweet and Sour Pepper Relish, Best selling Beet Relish, Pickled Beets in 32 ounce size jars, New Carrot Cake Jam, Pickled Green Tomatoes, Pepper Onion Relish, Pickled Peppers, both hot and mild and Apple Conserve.
Homestead Happenings in the Garden
September is like one of those whirlwind months that just seem to fly by. With summer almost over, the fall beckons us with new activity, especially in the garden. We need to harvest and preserve what we have successfully grown, plant tender fall crops and clean up any spent plants. We also have an additional project going, building a duck pond out back in the old dog run. I am exhausted just thinking about it! But heck, instead of having to go to the produce aisle of the supermarket weekly, I can shop right in my back yard.
We have so many peppers that I need to come up with new recipes, I'm thinking Mexican Chilis stuffed with cheese and lots of jalapeno poppers.
The herbs are also very happy in the garden. I planted my kitchen herb garden close to the backdoor for convenient picking. Time to freeze batches of delicious pesto sauce and dry my oregano and dill.
The beets are exploding out of the ground but still are tender and delicious. Let's see, I've pickled the beets, made beet relish, eggs and beets, boiled beets and roasted them….do YOU need any beets?! They are sale priced to go at our farm stand.
We have Italian Candied Striped Beets and…..
Detroit Red Beets, four rows of them, did I mention that we sell beets at our farm stand?
New crops include chinese cabbage, mustard greens, radishes and fall lettuce.
Pole beans still have plenty of tender pods on the plants, meaning more picking, pickling, and freezing…..
The flowering hydrangea shrubs, also like the cooler weather, and are producing gorgeous flowers. These blossoms dry beautifully for fall arrangements.
The self sowed pumpkin plant from last year's discards, may never bear a squash, but it has a lovely bloom. Also ready for harvest are the carrots, swiss chard, arugula, red and white potatoes and sweet potatoes, that I will be saving for our Thanksgiving Day Feast. Harvest time in the garden is challenging but well worth the effort. Does anyone have any more beet recipes??? Please send them our way, asap!
The Zucchini Are Coming the Zucchini are Coming! BEST RECIPES
Zucchini 101-preparation is key
It took only two little plants and
Lots of little squash babies were born.
Now I better get cooking 'cause the zucchini are exploding in the garden. I mean they are rapidly producing cute little squashes, that turn into big huge monsters. They multiply like rabbits if you don't watch out. Luckily I have several wonderful recipes that I depend on for my bounty.
This bowl in my kitchen is filled with zucchini and Peter Pan squash. (I sent my husband to the nursery to select zucchini seedlings and he brought home a Peter Pan varietal!)
This Peter Pan squash can be used just like the zucchini squash. Dixie is hypnotised by this curiosity.
No Dixie, this is not a food for doggies!
Wash and dry a bunch of summer squash. No need to peel. Chop into food processor size chunks. You can remove any large seeds that look tough, especially in large squash.
Insert the shredding disc into a food processor or use an old-fashioned box grater on largest side. My Cuisinart is more than 20 years old and still works like a charm. Start grating squash, emptying bowl as it fills up with shreds, several batches should do it.
The shredded squash should look like this.
My large metal bowl is full of shredded zucchini and can be used in my recipes. It is nice to have a bowl of this, on hand, in the refrigerator for lots of great recipes. From stir fry, soups, breads and my favorite savory appetizer, zucchini pancakes, you'll be actually glad you have so much squash. And yes, Dixie does eat raw zucchini and I can get my son, John to eat it too, if it's hidden in these recipes.
Now we are cooking. Coming soon, the recipes, stay posted!
Inspirations for Spring or I Need it Bad…..
It's not that I'm complaining. It is just that it is the human condition to always want what we don't have. I am trying to live in the moment. But at the moment it has been #1 raining for days, #2 cloudy for days, # 3 cold for days. I need sunshine, I need heat and I need some color. Am I complaining yet? Oh did I tell you that the rain changed to sleet, then ice then snow the other day? Here is my visual inspiration for the day. Yes I can do it……
This is our porch last year, filled with flowers…This my back yard last week…..Our pond had lots of water plants and the gold fish were so happy.This was the view out my back door….pretty I know!#$@%^&&*@#$%^****>>!
All paths lead to the ocean….ah the air, the warmth, the sand in our toes…..The hydrangea in all their glory, truly an inspiration.Our vegetable garden seems like a distant memory. I'll have to get those yellow pear tomato plants again. Check.
Ah that scorcher in Greencastle, and the ice cream after…..
Yes I will try to live in the moment and ahem, try to enjoy the March rains….Then again we can always dream!

Biomolecular Science - Career Opportunities
Career Opportunities
The best thing about Biomolecular Science is the variety of career opportunities available. The curriculum provides excellent preparation for industrial positions usually associated with either chemistry or biology degrees, but due to the depth and breadth of the coursework, students are much better prepared for careers in the pharmaceutical, medical and biotechnology industries. With the proper choice of electives, students will be well prepared to enter graduate and professional programs across the entire spectrum of the chemical, biological, medical and health sciences. It would also be ideal preparation for the graduate program in physical therapy at Clarkson.
"The Biomolecular Science curriculum at Clarkson provided me with the knowledge and hands-on experience to compete for top of the line job opportunities. I used my experience to earn a master's degree in Biochemistry and I am now going to continue my studies in medical school."
— Dave Evans '03 earned his BS at Clarkson.
"My experiences at Clarkson, in both academics and research, prepared me well for graduate school. My undergraduate classes and research gave me an advantage in higher level coursework and provided a good background in many of the techniques that I now use in my thesis research."
— Cindy Koziol '02 is a second year graduate student in the Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology Program at University of Wisconsin-Madison.
"Strong preparation in both chemistry and biology gave me the opportunity to have a research scientist position, usually reserved for people with master's degrees or many years of experience."
— Jessica Barse '96 was a Chemistry/Biology double major.

The race to replace Rep. George Miller in Congress is full of surprises.
State Sen. Mark DeSaulnier and Cheryl Sudduth, both Democrats, and independent Jason Ramey want to cut off federal funding for high-speed rail; the only Republican in the race, Tue Phan, would let it flow. Two candidates -- Democrats Tony Daysog and Ki Ingersol -- don't live in the 11th Congressional District. And all of the candidates favor universal background checks for gun owners.
Miller's January announcement that he would retire from the seat he has held for 40 years set off a frenzy of speculation about succeeding him. DeSaulnier instantly declared his candidacy, but as all other current or former elected officials bowed out and Miller gave DeSaulnier his blessing, five more contenders emerged.
Although DeSaulnier enjoys superior name recognition and funding, it's a scrum to see who will join him in the top two and then go head-to-head with him in November.
DeSaulnier, of Concord, says his prime asset is his experience in elected office and in the district. With six years as a state senator, two as an assemblyman, and 12 as a Contra Costa County supervisor, he wants to continue in Congress the budget and transportation focuses he embraced in the Legislature.
Daysog, of Alameda, says he brings "energy and a passion for policy," and wants to be "the Democratic equivalent of Paul Ryan in dealing with budget matters" to pare down military spending and chip away at interest payments.
Ingersol, of Benicia, says he's "very good with working with contentious parties that are not getting along very well, getting them to work together to get the job done." His priorities are restoring Social Security's long-term solvency and protecting Medicare while moving toward a single-payer health care system for all.
Sudduth, of Richmond, says she brings 20 years of experience in negotiating deals and the ability to put her ego aside: "This isn't another notch on my belt." Her priorities are "gender equity in pay, education and access to health care" and "social justice reform."
Phan, of Danville, says he offers a "perspective of diversity and my ability to work across the aisle," which he would put to use in restoring some civility to Congress and creating jobs by reforming immigration and improving education programs, particularly in the energy industries, including oil and gas fracking.
Ramey, of Concord, said he offers enthusiasm and youth: "I can spend the next 30 or 40 years developing relationships, working with both parties." His priorities are fixing the nation's broken education system while cutting spending in other areas: "We're just spending money left and right over ridiculous items."
All of the candidates said the federal government has an important role to play in setting educational standards and ensuring equal, adequate public school education regardless of income or location, though Daysog and DeSaulnier those standards must be flexible enough to allow for some control by local districts.
The four Democrats said it would be hard to imagine a circumstance in which the United States should get militarily involved in the Ukraine-Russia crisis. But Phan said military action should never be taken off the table: "By maintaining our military superpower we actually save lives and blood." And Ramey said "when there is a direct threat to human life and liberty, we get involved."
Asked about net neutrality, Daysog said a tiered system of data speeds and prices is the only way to spur private investment in modernizing Internet infrastructure, while DeSaulnier said he agrees with U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., in opposing a Federal Communications Commission proposal that would let service providers charge companies for faster delivery of their content. The other candidates gave somewhat vague answers about keeping a level playing field.
Federal Election Commission reports show DeSaulnier raised and spent far more than his rivals as of March 31. Most of Phan's money has come from fellow Vietnamese-Americans, while most of Ingersol's has come from fellow attorneys. Daysog is completely self-funded, and Sudduth and Ramey have reported no fundraising at all.
The 11th District stretches across the northwestern and central regions of Contra Costa County in the East San Francisco Bay Area, encompassing cities including Richmond, Walnut Creek, Concord, Clayton, Danville, Orinda, Pittsburg, San Pablo, Moraga, and Lafayette. Its registered voters are 50 percent Democrats, 24 percent Republicans and 22 percent nonpartisans.

Kolkata: The power ministry is yet to take a view on the amended terms of the new fuel supply agreement that proposes to lower the trigger point to 65% from 80%, a senior official said.
"We are studying the impact of the new format for the fuel supply agreement and will take a view on it in a couple of days," Union power secretary P Uma Shankar told ET. "A 65% trigger point would actually mean a 55% plant load factor for the power generating units, which may be too low. We need to take a critical view and find out if it suits the power sector."

The Tigers netted three goals and took advantage of an own-goal to beat the Bulldogs 4-0.
"We played really well in the first half," said Sikeston coach Derrick Long. "We even outshot them in the first half, and shutting them out for 40 minutes is a big deal. This is a pretty stacked team we were playing. We're starting to use a different formation and it worked pretty good today."
After a scoreless first half, Calen Willis gave Cape the lead at 52 minutes with a goal assisted by Heath Orr. Two minutes later, Sikeston kicked the ball in its own net to make it 2-0.
At 67 minutes, Willis scored his second goal unassisted. Ryan Ponder scored Cape's final goal with an assist from Orr.
"We got a little tired in the second half, so we'll have to work on our endurance a little," said Long. "We had a couple of letdowns in the backfield. After they scored that first goal, we kind of got down mentally and made some dumb mistakes. We fought hard the entire game. We had a couple of opportunities to put one in, but it just didn't go our way."
Cape had 22 shots on goal while Sikeston had 18. Sikeston keeper Jason Deere had 17 saves while Cape's goalie Tony Leuckel had 18 saves in the shutout.
"We blocked a lot of shots with our defenders where they didn't get to our keeper," said Long. "Brad Deere and E.C. Atchison controlled the middle and did a good job."
Sikeston (2-4-1) will travel to Kennett on Thursday.
Sikeston lost Tuesday's junior varsity game 3-0. The Tigers saw all three goals from Devon Edmonds. Cape Central outshot Sikeston 18-8. Sikeston keeper Cody Cooper recorded 14 saves.
The junior varsity squad falls to 2-2 with the loss.

i went to USA for my TR. Wasn't cheap, but Dr Berger in Chapel Hill, North Carolina did mine. I had a BFP in Mar 09, but unfortunatley it was EP. I used Dr Berger as he is probably the best. They were so nice and I was treated like a princess,had minimal pain (back at work after 10 days) and tiny cut. I made it into a holiday and went a few days early to get the most out of my trip.
I looked at the surgeons in the UK, but none of them keep stats or could give me information without seeing them at a cost of £200!
They do have an easy pay saving scheme at Chapel Hill, which i used and i transferred US$ from the UK through World First traders in London as they gave me an excellent rate (much better than the bank).
They do have a website - you've probably seen it.
There is a thread (getting pregnant after sterilisation reversal) which you may be better off posting on. The ladies are all really nice, and there are some pg ladies you can ask for their surgeons.
good luck,

Hi there
I had my reversal in December 08 at the Spire hospital In brentwood only a week before xmas so it meant i could still have the time of work to recover. My surgeon was Mr Varma and he was great very straight talker and gave us all the compucations that could happen.
When i had my surgery they found a large cyst on my right ovary which he also removed whilst doing the op.
It cost us £2600 which was really good but we did get it reduced as they had allot of building work for a new section to the hospital and it was so close to xmas.
We are still ttc but know it will take a while as im 39 and husband has just turned 40.
Good luck in finding a consultant.

Hi, i had mine done in Northampton. £150 consultants fee then £3100 for the op. Mr Davis did the proceedure but before he did it he teste both myslf and my partner to make sure i was ovulating and he had good sperm.. both ok so he went ahead with the op. (if there were probs he would of done ivf instead) This gives us a chance to get pregnant every month. On my 2nd month now as i never ovulated last month (due to the op i think as i know i ov as i get the pains) so its fingers crossed from now on. Oh yeh, im 36 and OH is 30. Mr Davies is nothing if not thorough, i have had a follow up scan 2st month and due another soon - he gives you his mobile no. too. jus awaitning the BFP now - good luck in your search x

The 49ers defense kept the Pittsburgh Steelers from lighting up the scoreboard Monday night. But not before two power outages put Candlestick Park in the dark.
By emerging with a 20-3 victory, the 49ers (11-3) reclaimed their position as the potential No. 2 seed for the upcoming NFC playoffs. The New Orleans Saints also are 11-3, but the 49ers hold a tiebreaker advantage based on a better record in NFC games.
Kickoff was delayed 20 minutes because of a blackout, and the lights went out again in the second quarter to pause action for another 15 minutes.
"It felt like Jay-Z was about to come on stage," tight end Vernon Davis said of the initial blackout, which the 49ers believe was caused by a blown transformer.
The 49ers didn't pull away on the scoreboard until Davis caught a 1-yard touchdown pass from Alex Smith late in the third quarter, giving the NFC West champions a 13-3 lead.
"It was an amazing feeling, but most of all we beat a great team on the national stage," Davis added. "We've got to give ourselves credit for that."
Despite the absence of linebacker Patrick Willis for a second straight game with a hamstring strain, the 49ers forced four turnovers, including three interceptions of Ben Roethlisberger and a fumble-forcing sack.
"He's a great quarterback, no doubt about it, but he wasn't able to get out of the pocket like he usually does," 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said of Roethlisberger, who was hindered by a sprained left ankle.
Rookie Aldon Smith recorded 21/2 sacks to give him a team-high 13 this season, the most ever by a 49ers rookie. Charles Haley held the previous record with 12 sacks in 1986.
"Is he No. 99? I would prefer not to talk about him," Roethlisberger said of Smith. "He's ... I'll just leave it at that."
Steelers defensive end Brett Keisel, however, was willing to elaborate about Smith: "He's a beast. Some of these kids come in, they just pick it up right away."
Unable to support their wounded quarterback with a stout running game, the Steelers had Roethlisberger attempt 44 passes. He completed 25 for 330 yards but was intercepted by Carlos Rogers, Dashon Goldson and Tarell Brown.
The 49ers became the first NFL team to not allow a rushing touchdown in its first 14 games. For the 36th consecutive game, their opponent did not produce a 100-yard rusher, as Rashard Mendenhall led Pittsburgh with 15 carries for 64 yards.
The Steelers (10-4) played without their own star linebacker, James Harrison, who was serving a one-game suspension. Harrison sarcastically posted on his Twitter account during the second blackout: "If I cant play then can't nobody play ... Lights out!"
While Aldon Smith boosted his candidacy for NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, Harbaugh campaigned for quarterback Alex Smith to make the Pro Bowl.
"He's had that kind of season, and he put an exclamation mark on it tonight," Harbaugh said of Smith, who was 18 of 31 for 187 yards with one touchdown pass and no turnovers.
Roethlisberger, a two-time Super Bowl winner, had passes intercepted on his first two series. The 49ers converted both turnovers into David Akers field goals, enabling him to set the franchise's single-season scoring record with 141 points.
Frank Gore's 5-yard touchdown run with 9:06 remaining put the 49ers ahead 20-3. That score was set up when Justin Smith recovered a fumble at the Steelers' 17-yard line, where Roethlisberger got sacked by Aldon Smith and Ray McDonald.
"We were getting there all night but just had to wrap up," Aldon Smith said. "They didn't know where everyone was coming from. They couldn't just key on one of us."
The Steelers avoided a shutout thanks to Shaun Suisham's 51-yard field goal on their first series after halftime. That field goal pulled Pittsburgh within 6-3.
But the 49ers surged ahead 13-3 later in the third quarter, when Smith lobbed a 1-yard touchdown pass to a wide open Davis, who made a 21-yard reception on the previous play and a 31-yard catch earlier in the drive. Davis' score marked the 49ers' fourth touchdown in their past 21 trips inside opponents' 20-yard line.
"We may not get in the end zone as much as we'd like," Davis said. "But we still won the game."
The 49ers will close out the regular season on the road, at Seattle on Saturday and at St. Louis on New Year's Day. If they win both those games, coupled with losses by the Green Bay Packers (13-1) in their final two home games, then the 49ers would land the NFC's No. 1 seed.

By Leslie Brown, DeCA public affairs December 28, 2011
FORT LEE, Va. (Dec. 28, 2011) -- Defense Commissary Agency officials have announced the end of magazine sales in their overseas stores beginning January 2012. This affects all commissaries in Europe, the Pacific (Japan, Okinawa, South Korea and Guam) and Puerto Rico.
The Defense Commissary Agency, or DeCA, will continue to sell the Stars & Stripes newspaper since they are printed in theater. Commissaries in Alaska and Hawaii are not affected by this sales change. Magazines will also continue to be available in military exchanges and bookstores located near most overseas commissaries.
"With the rising costs in transportation and declining sales, the decision was made to end the sale of magazines in our stores in Europe and the Pacific," said Chris Burns, director of sales. "We have to be fiscally responsible with our taxpayer-provided resources, and this is one way we can do that."
Before deciding to cease magazine sales overseas, DeCA officials had tried other options such as deleting slow-selling titles and reducing the volume of magazines shipped to overseas stores. However, the negative sales trend didn't change.
"The decision to eliminate magazine sales overseas was not an easy one, but a decision that had to be made in our fiscally constrained environment," Burns said. "The contract for selling magazines in the overseas stores ends in fiscal (year) 2012, so this is the proper time to make this change.
"By eliminating the logistical costs of airlifting magazines to overseas distribution centers, we're able to keep other important products flowing to our store shelves," Burns said.

Those who Geocache...beware...
By tls on Jan 31, 2007
The devices that promoted the Boston bomb scares yesterday reminded me of a story that happened just about month ago in Murphy, TX. A colleague of mine blogged about a similiar incident a month ago when a Geocache article was termed as a "Suspecious Device".
As I listen to all the flap about this latest incident, it's hard to determine where the line is in all of this. One one hand I'm hearing numbers like, 1/2 million was spent on this latest scare and the person planting the devices is responsible. Are they going overboard on this? Some would say, no way, especially in light of 9/11. Others would argue that we are going a bit overboad.
Back to Geocaching. The premise of geocaching is to hide some items, record the location with GPS coordinates, post that information at Geocaching.com and allow weekend warriors to find the items. It's a healthy fun activity for families to do on a weekend day. Our family will take a picnic and make a great day out of it. The kids get exercise and lean some new things. A lot of times, these items are hidden in ammo containers (to keep out the elements), often with cammo aound it to help hide it. To the unsuspecting individual, it may appear threatning. That's why it's important to always follow the rules if you ever decide to hide or re-hide a geocache.
With more of these incidents happening, I'm getting concerned about something like a fun harmless Geocache object implying the wrong thing and landing someone in jail or with a hefty fine. Hopefully Geocachine doesn't become a thing of the past.

Research Interests
Research in the laboratory concentrates on control of newborn cerebral circulation. A focus of this research is control of the newborn cerebral microvasculature during physiological and pathological situations, and the cellular mechanisms involved in such control. We investigate autocrine and paracrine communication within the neurovascular unit, with specific current focus on two novel, endogenously produced, gaseous transmitter molecules, carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). This research is important because the single most prominent cause of mortality and morbidity in newborns is hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, which often leads to lifelong disability in survivors. The neonatal brain is more susceptible to injury from insufficient or inappropriate blood flow for metabolism than that of the adult because of rapid development and proliferation of neurons and vessels, and high susceptibility to inflammation. Successes in developing approaches to avert and treat perinatal hypoxia-ischemic brain damage have been limited by insufficient understanding of the mechanisms that control perinatal cerebral circulation. The gasotransmitters, CO and H2S, are mechanisms of which greater understanding is urgently needed.

John Cederquist honored by Furniture Societycomments (0) June 20th, 2010 in blogs
Born in 1946 in Altadena, Calif., John Cederquist went on to teach art and 2-D design at Saddleback College in Misssion Viejo. He uses the same techniques he teaches--trompe-l'oiel, airbrushing, etc.--building sculpture and artistic yet functional furniture. This weekend in Boston, after 30 years of shows and exhibitions, he received the Furniture Society's award for lifetime achievement at their annual conference.
The images in Cederquist's work are a bit cartoony for me, personally, but his talent is undeniable, and I enjoyed hearing his life story in his own words. Even more so, I enjoyed the slideshow he gave, showing how he developed and built a recent series of work based on Wall St. greed.
He was introduced by Miguel Gomez-Ibanez, director of North Bennett Street School and head of the Furniture Society's selection committee. Gomez said that although Cederquist takes his images from popular culture, and that "they make you smile," the images are used with reverence, not mockery, and "combined as if in a dream."
Then Cederquist came to the podium. He broke down a little when talking about the support he has received from his wife. After his first show, he received a few congratulatory messages. One was a telegram that read "If you build it, they will come." Later he realized it was from his wife. That inspired him to do a show every two years, and he has stuck to that.
Cederquist said he was in an angry state of mind, furious at Wall Street greed, when the Furniture Society contacted him about the award. "These are people who don't build anything," he said with a wry laugh. "They say they are creative...with money." The award cheered him up, he said, inspiring him to channel his anger into a new series, called "Treachery of an Economy," with his own use of illusion reflecting the tricks that banks and financial institutions played with people's money. His slideshow at the conference documented the techniques he used to design and build the pieces.
Cederquist also takes inspiration from classical sources such as the Renaissance and Japanese wood-block prints. My favorite Cederquist pieces are these functional storage cabinets, inspired by Japanese kimonos.

ALLENTOWN — Statistically speaking, Pleasant Valley may never have a game like Friday night's ever again.
At least while Jim Terwilliger is coaching the team.
The usually pass-happy Bears with Terwilliger, a standout quarterback at East Stroudsburg South and East Stroudsburg University, calling the plays, attempted just two passes in Friday's 52-14 victory over Mountain Valley Conference newcomer Dieruff.
That opened the door for freshman running back Austyn Borre, who darted for 246 yards and four touchowns, all in the first half. Boore's first carry from scrimmage went for 59 yards and he capped the night with touchdown runs of 62, 46 and 67 yards.
"He can do it," Terwilliger said. "He's a special kid. He's worked hard to put himself in a good position. We love the kid. He's an outstanding young man."
While Borre got the attention Friday night, expect seniors Josh Thornton (1 carry, TD) and Josh Perry (93 yards, TD) to have a big impact on the running game as the season progresses.

Small version issues with OpenTK, OpenGL and CgPosted Tuesday, 11 October, 2011 - 21:58 by mOfl in
Hiya everyone,
I'm using OpenTK quite successfully in my .NET 4.0 application which is basically a neat little rendering framework for all the daily stuff that needs to be rendered. That framework uses one of the newest OpenTK versions from the SVN (not sure what revision it was, but I can look it up on my other PC if it matters) and a modified version of the Tao Cg bindings for Cg 3.0. Now I noticed some strange behavior when creating the contexts. You might or might not be familiar with Cg, but you have to set up a Cg context as well and choose profiles out of quite a few possible shader profiles (where, of course, the later profiles are more comprehensive). In my application, I extend the GameWindow class for my window, so the creation process looks like this:
public Window( int width, int height, GraphicsMode mode, string title, GameWindowFlags options, VSyncMode vsyncMode) : base(width, height, mode, title, options, DisplayDevice.Default, 4, 2, GraphicsContextFlags.Default) { this.VSync = vsyncMode; this.cgContext = CgNet.Context.Create(); this.cgContext.ParameterSettingMode = ParameterSettingMode.Deferred; CgGL.SetDebugMode(false); this.errorHandlerDelegate = MessageHandler.CgErrorEventHandler; Cg.SetErrorHandler(this.errorHandlerDelegate, IntPtr.Zero); }
If I now use GL.GetString(StringName.Version), I get returned "4.1.0" on my GeForce GTX 480. Although I request version 4.2, a 4.1 context is set - is this due to the fact that my OpenTK is probably from 3 months ago when 4.2 was not yet released and some bindings are missing? Well, that's not the matter anyways, I'm perfectly fine with a 4.1 context, but!
As I said, I have to choose Cg profiles as well:
ProfileType fragmentShaderProfile = CgGL.GetLatestProfile(ProfileClass.Fragment); ProfileType vertexShaderProfile = CgGL.GetLatestProfile(ProfileClass.Vertex); CgGL.SetOptimalOptions(fragmentShaderProfile); CgGL.SetOptimalOptions(vertexShaderProfile);
Doing this with the requested version 4.2, I get the fragment and vertex shader profiles Gp5Fp and Gp5Vp, which is great. Everything works fine. If I request an OpenGL 4.1 context instead, GL.GetString(StringName.Version) returns "4.1.0", too, but the Cg shader profiles are "Unknown" and the whole thing is going down :( Do you know why this happens? As the Cg calls are made after the OpenGL context is created which is a 4.1 context in both cases, Cg should not behave any differently, but it does.
Well, it's definitely only a small flaw and it's kind of a niche question because the combination of OpenTK, Cg 3.0 and OpenGL 4.x might not be that common, but if I can only use a 4.1 context right now, I would like to be able to request a 4.1 context, it just looks a bit more deterministic ;)
Anyways, I'm glad you guys keep working on OpenTK, it's a really great tool!
Seems that OpenTK creates core profile contexts for OpenGL 3.2+, which aren't supported by Cg. I'm not sure why 4.2 works, but the driver might fall back to a 4.1 compatibility profile context for some reason.
Thanks for that one, you were right. Although having read about the missing support of the core profiles, I did not really interpret this information at all. Requesting a OpenGL 4.1 context does in fact set up a core profile context in which the Cg context fails, where requesting a OpenGL 4.2 context (or some other contexts like 3.4) will lead to compatibility profile context, and not only that, but to the highest compatible working context, which is 4.1 in my case. Everything makes sense now, I think I solved the world. There is no spoon and the cake is a lie. I even found a marvellous proof for P != NP, but this margin is too small to contain it.
For faster results of future generations - you can check whether you have a core profile or not with the ContextProfileMask bit:
bool core = false; int contextProfileMask = 0; GL.GetInteger((GetPName) (All.ContextProfileMask), out contextProfileMask); if ((contextProfileMask & (int) (All.ContextCoreProfileBit)) != 0) { core = true; }
I have to resurrect this one...
Can someone explain to me why one cannot set the WGL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_MASK_ARB flag on contex creation because it is not implemented? As seen in this thread (Cg does not currently support Core profiles, so a Compatibility profile has to be requested), it could be useful to be able to set the WGL_CONTEXT_DEBUG_BIT_ARB or WGL_CONTEXT_FORWARD_COMPATIBLE_BIT_ARB when creating the GameWindow/context.
Or is it possible and I just don't see it?

Hi there
I just installed the Yoast WordPress SEO plugin, and recently had google index the site for a site i'm working on. (I'm using a newish Woo theme, and i have the "use third party plugin" box selected on the theme's SEO area, where it even says the Yoast plugin is compatible).
Now when I search for our site, the site title and url come up, and there's a little "person" icon by it and below that, a "limited" box. I definitely checked have search engines find the site and it's public, and I can't think of anything we have hidden or shared with only limited ppl except drafts and such. what is that all about. Help!
Also, there is no description, (I populated the homepage desc. field in the plugin), and the Google result shows "preview not available."
Site is livinggreenwithbaby.com

From the observatory on the top of the Jungfraujoch, you have a breathtaking view over the glacier. You feeling being in a pristine scene. When your eye gets used to the glimmering snow, you start realizing that a human presence is in the picture as well, like these skiers, just on the edge of the crevasse. And you realize, again, how immense Nature is.
Location: jungfraujoch, Bernese Alps, Switzerland
