After tasting this fennel and sun-dried tomato risotto, though, I have changed my mind. Here are three reasons why you should eat fennel again this Valentine's Day:
1. Licorice-flavored fennel is believed to have aphrodisiac qualities (and it's a lot prettier than oysters).
2. The risotto is made with white wine, which if your valentine has enough of, might make it easier for you to steal a few kisses before dessert.
3. Risotto is notorious for being difficult to make. It isn't. It takes about 20-25 minutes and doesn't have to be stirred continuously. However, you could tell your valentine that you slaved in the kitchen making risotto from scratch. That should get you a little lovin'.
When selecting fresh fennel, look for firm, unblemished, pearly white bulbs with tall green stalks and flouncy fronds. Its mild licorice flavor pairs beautifully with the robust and slightly salty flavor of the sun-dried tomatoes. Plus it's red and white.
I'm sending this recipe to my dear friend, Chris of Melecotte, for her Kitchen of Love Event featuring food with aphrodisiac qualities. Don't miss that round-up on Feb. 12th!
Once you've eaten the the risotto, dim the lights, put on some Lou Rawls (yeah, baby), and open a box of chocolates. Not just any chocolates, gourmet chocolates from Chocolate.com.
The liquer infused truffles I sampled (courtesy of Mark from Chocolate.com) came in well-loved flavors such as kalhua and ameretto, and more unusual ones like port. Come to think of it, these truffles would go nicely with a glass of port since they're rich and creamy and not overly sweet.
Though traditionally spherical, these truffles are square shaped and beautifully decorated with gold swirls, coffee beans, and white chocolate drizzle. And with a seemingly endless variety of fillings, there's a truffle that will make every person's heart feel full.After some fennel, wine, and truffles, your sweetheart will surely be feeling amorous. If not, just pop in your favorite DVD and finish off the rest of the truffles. That would put anybody in a good mood.
Fennel and Sun-Dried Tomato Risotto
Makes 2 main or 4 side servings.
Print recipe only here.
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon butter
1 diced shallot, divided
½ cup Arborio rice (risotto)
2 1/2 cups low-sodium broth, or as much as needed
1/4 cup dry white wine
½ teaspoon fennel seeds
1 cup fennel, chopped
1/8 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (about 3 tomatoes)
¼ cup heavy cream or half 'n half
1/8 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/8 cup pine nuts, toasted
1 tablespoon butter, optional
Salt and pepper, to taste
Good extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Place pinenuts in a small, dry skillet over medium heat. Shake pan in a back-and-forth motion until pinenuts are golden and aromatic, about 1-2 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat broth in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once it's hot, lower to a simmer.
For the risotto, start by sautéing half the shallots in 1 teaspoon olive oil and butter. Add the Arborio rice; toast for about 1 minute. Cook the risotto at a slow simmer, adding heated broth ½ cupful at a time. Most cookbooks will tell to stir continuously; I don't, and you don't have to either. You can stir occasionally; just make sure the risotto absorbs the liquid before adding more. It will become tender and creamy as it cooks. Season will some salt about halfway through so it blends well, and add the white wine. 4-5 cups of broth works for this recipe, but use more or less as needed. It takes about 20 minutes for the risotto to become completely cooked. Taste it -- it should be wonderfully creamy and thick. It's best al dente, which means it should still retain some firmness when you chew it.
After about 10 minutes of cooking the risotto, place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the dry fennel seeds and toast for about 1 minute or until aromatic. Then add 1 teaspoon of olive oil, the other half of the shallots, fennel, sun-dried tomatoes, and some salt and pepper. Sauté over medium heat until the fennel becomes slightly softened but not mushy, about 7-8 minutes. At this point, the risotto should be cooked, so add the sautéed fennel to it and stir well. Add the cream or half n' half; stir until mixed in well and heated, about 1 minute. Turn off heat, then add the Parmesan cheese so it will melt more slowly. Add some salt and pepper to taste. Adding 1 tablespoon of butter at this point adds a touch more creaminess, but it's optional.

Cat Declawing
Our top priority is providing the highest-quality of veterinary care to each pet we treat. Every policy and medical procedure supported by our practice has been put in place with the health and wellness of pets in mind.
Our veterinarians perform a surgical onychectomy if they believe that a cat cannot be trained to refrain from using its claws destructively in the home, or poses a danger to family members. Unfortunately, all cats are not amenable to behavior modification and we believe that this surgical procedure will result in fewer cats being abandoned or euthanized. Once declawed, it is recommended that your cat live indoors since the ability to defend itself is compromised. Timing is everything when deciding on the optimal age to declaw your cat. Often younger, non-overweight cats are able to recover from surgery with fewer complications. However, your veterinarian can provide a one-on-one evaluation of your pet's readiness and age for the procedure.
We also believe feline onychectomy should be performed only with the medically appropriate use of anesthetics and analgesics and adherence to careful surgical and post-surgical protocols. If you are shopping around for a competitive price on this procedure, be sure to question the type of anesthetic used, the type of pain management provided, and the monitoring equipment and procedures followed. All of our surgery patients have IV catheters placed and receive IV fluids. We use several monitoring devices during your pet's anesthetic. A veterinary technician continually assesses your pet's vital signs during the procedure.
Your pet's safety and comfort are our primary concerns when performing a declaw. We use advanced pain management techniques in conjunction with anesthesia to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible during the procedure and after they are discharged. Our declaw patients receive 2 or 3 injectable pain medications during the procedure and go home with oral pain medication. We perform nerve blocks of the feet that provide additional pain relief immediately after the surgery. Our declaw patients stay with us overnight so that we can be sure they are comfortable, to remove their bandages in the morning, and to assess the surgical area before going home. It is very common to see these kitties pawing playfully through the kennel door following this surgery.

FSBO - For Sale By Owner - Sunrise Homes For Sale
7 Great Reasons NOT to Sell By Owner.
That's a FSBO - which stands for For Sale By Owner.
There are definitely reasons why people choose to sell their homes themselves instead of hiring a realtor, and one of the big objections is that the sellers will have to pay them a commission if and when their home sells.
That seems to be a big barrier to people hiring a realtor because they believe they will be giving up cash from the sale of their home and therefore reducing the amount of the net cash from the sale. They often don't see the value that a real estate agent at 5 County Real Estate adds to the selling process. What many people think is that an agent is just going to place the property on the MLS and just wait for a buyer. Heck, the seller thinks, I can do better than they can.
As a precautionary, we have created our Top 7 Reasons Why FSBO Sellers Fail list.
- The list price of the home was priced incorrectly from the start. What you want to sell your home for may not be a realistic valuation and will not attract serious buyers.
- Not making the home accessible when the buyer's schedule dictates. You have to meet them when they are available. The worst thing you can do is turn away a prospective buyer who wants to see your house. You're too busy, have to work, you are going to be out of town a lot.
- The home was not staged properly to interest the buyers. Buyers need to be able to imagine themselves living in the home. If it is dirty, or in disrepair, needs painting and that leak in the roof needs to be stopped does not a good impression make. And, it will definitely drive down after offers from the asking price. This can include fixing items that should have been refreshed (paint is cheap), clean windows and brightly lite rooms. Pix up your house like you were going to have a party!
- The home was not marketed properly including presentation, photography and Internet exposure. You say you are a doctor - what do you know about marketing a house.
- Not knowing how to properly qualify a buyer to ensure they can get a mortgage. Just because the buyers say they are prequalified doesn't mean that they have any money or credit for that matter!
- Not knowing how to negotiate home inspection repair requests. You can be on the hook for a lot of money out of pocket for repair costs. It could cost you up to approximately 3% or more of the selling price. (Learn more about as-is contracts). That tip right there could have paid 1/2 your realtors' commission.
- Being stubborn enough not to offer a buyers agent a commission if they bring a buyer. So, offer the real estate agent that brings you a buyer a 3% commission. Believe us, nobody wants to get that house sold more than a real estate agent. They don't earn any money until the check for the sold house clears the bank so they will help both the seller and buyer come to a mutually beneficial agreement. Sellers want to sell. Buyers want to buy.
These are our 7 biggest reasons why for sale by owners fail in getting what they wanted in the first place - getting their home sold as soon as possible. Knowing this make sure you pay attention to these things to increase your chances of success!

More than 80 million households in the United States own at least one dog or cat, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. If you have recently decided to join those millions and become a pet owner, where do you go to get that dog or cat? Several options are available for finding an animal companion.
Humane Society and animal rescues. Humane societies have been operating in the United States for more than 100 years. Adopting a dog or cat from your local humane society or animal rescue can save an animal's life.
According to the Humane Society of the United States, dogs and cats living in these facilities are usually there because of human issues. Many pets have been given up by a family that has had to relocate. Some are pets whose owner has developed allergies or has passed away. These dogs and cats are ready to find love in a new home.
The benefits to finding an animal companion through these organizations are many. Generally, a local veterinarian will have examined the dog or cat and administered vaccinations, plus treatments for fleas and ear mites. In addition, most will have spayed or neutered the animal before releasing them into the care of an adoptive family.
There will likely be adoption fees at the humane society or animal rescue. The fees will vary by state and facility. Some facilities may simply ask for a donation, while others will incorporate the fees for spaying/neutering and vaccinations.
No-kill shelters. A no-kill shelter advocates that no healthy, adoptable pet will be euthanized because of space limitations. Dog and cat adoption procedures at no-kill shelters are similar to those at a county humane society or a local animal rescue facility. For a list of no-kill animal shelters state by state in the United States, visit the website nokillNetwork.org.
Reputable breeders. Anyone looking to adopt a specific breed of dog or cat might decide to visit a reputable breeder. The American Kennel Club has a list of dog breeders available on its website. For cat lovers, the Cat Fanciers' Association Inc. has a referral search page on its website for anyone looking for a specific cat breed. Attending reputable dog or cat shows and speaking with local breeders is another way to find your ideal dog or cat purebred.
PetFinder.com. PetFinder.com is a pet search site that can help you find an animal companion. As a visitor to the site, simply select the type of animal, the breed and your location. Animals available for adoption through county humane societies, rescue centers and animal shelters will be listed to match your criteria.
Local newspaper. Your local newspaper may list dogs and cats available from area residents. These may include puppies, kittens and/or animals that have been found and need good homes.

has learned that the Boston Red Sox have claimed Padres right fielder Brian Giles off the waiver wire, if only to keep him away from the two teams with better records in the American League. Thus, Boston entered a 48-hour period in which the Sox have exclusive rights to try to work out a trade with San Diego.Fox reports that Giles (who is 37, but has played 99 games in right field, hitting .296/.391/.424, 124 OPS+) has a partial no-trade clause which include Boston, so he would have to waive that for any deal to occur.
I'm not clear where Giles would fit on the Red Sox, who are already rotating four outfielders -- Could Crisp be dealt? Is Ortiz's wrist a bigger problem than reported? -- or if he would approve a trade to a team that would likely not start him more than three times a week.
Also: David Aardsma should be activated before tomorrow night's game in Chicago. Chris Smith has been optioned to Pawtucket.
Off-Day music post coming later.

Termite Control Company Woodstock
Truly Nolen is a top rated Termite Control Company in Woodstock, GA. If you are looking for the best termite control company in Woodstock then contact us today.
Termites play a vital role in our ecosystem. They maintain nature's balance by breaking down dead wood and other plant material. There are nearly 50 known termite species in North America and more than 2,600 worldwide. However, when termites invade homes, they become major pests and cause an estimated $5 billion dollars in damages in the United States each year. Billions more are spent on termite prevention and treatment, making them the most economically significant wood-destroying organisms in the United States. An average home suffers $7,900 in damages before termites are detected and termite damage may not be covered by many homeowners' insurance. Prevention is key. It is important to have annual inspections. Early discovery provides you a head start in solving this problem.
The Truly Nolen Treatment Approach
Our Total Termite Protection Plan℠ is the most innovative and complete termite protection plan offered in the United States. We combine a variety of control techniques into a single, comprehensive, and effective treatment program. It safeguards your home from termites by focusing on both the soil and the structure. Combining above and below- ground treatments provide you with the most complete and thorough protection. Treatment areas include attics, eaves, walls, windows, doors, plumbing pipes, foundations, and slabs. We diagnose your individual needs and provide a customized solution. While most termite control companies only provide your home with protection against one type of termite, our Total Termite Protection Plan℠ is effective against any and all termites.
Truly Nolen's trained professionals know that no two homes are the same. Our termite control experts have been trained to "think like a bug" in order to best understand and eliminate your pest problem. Your Truly Nolen specialist will inspect common termite entry points such as:
- Cracks and crevices in the foundation
- Voids in concrete block
- Spaces between slab joints
- Gaps in plumbing pipes
- Wall fractures
- Swarms access eaves, attics, doors, or windows
- Via firewood or furniture
After a thorough inspection, we will provide you a customized and individualized assessment and treatment plan. We can help you get rid of termites regardless of your home's construction type, material, or age.
Treat/Application Methodology
How do we do it? Truly Nolen's comprehensive Total Termite Protection Plan℠ covers your home's interior, exterior, and foundation, eliminating any opportunities for termites to persist in and around your home. Our trained professionals can treat for termites in hard-to-reach places like wall voids and moldings. Since we treat the interiors, exteriors, and everywhere in between, we go above and beyond to provide you with termite control where other methods fail. On in the interior, Truly Nolen treats bath traps and plumbing, slab cracks/expansion joints, garage expansion joints, and direct active infestation. Exterior treatment includes wood privacy fences, dead tree stumps, landscape timber, and preventative exterior treatments as needed. In your home's foundation, Truly Nolen will treat the crawlspace foundation, the crawlspace pier, as well as the foundation void. Our competitors don't treat any of these common termite-hiding places. The application technology makes the difference. We have several non-invasive application methods to provide you with comprehensive treatment to safely protect you and your family. For finished surfaces: the tornado. As the name implies, our exclusive tornado method penetrates through and follows wood imperfections that are barely visible. Active ingredients mix with water as a propellant. Next, high-pressure air forces the mixture deep into cracks and crevices, getting deep inside doors and window jambs, sills, and mouldings. For interior voids: the high-pressure mister. We use a high-pressure mister to treat your attics and wall voids by covering surfaces of unfinished wood. Active ingredients are mixed with high-pressure water to create small droplets for full coverage. Smaller droplets allow us to apply more ingredients in more places. For soil treatments: liquid treatments. Truly Nolen protects your home inside and out. As part of our comprehensive treatment plan, we treat the soil near and under your home. We apply liquid treatments in trenches or drillings to protect foundations, slabs, and tub traps. For under-slab protection, the difference is in the injection rods. Our thin-walled, lightweight stainless steel rod injection system makes the entire under-slab process less intrusive while still effectively delivering our trusted treatment. The new injection rods are smaller (¼-inch – about the size of a pen) – constructed of thin-walled, lightweight stainless steel – provide comprehensive 360- degree coverage, and an improved flow rate. Instead of using a single flood tip that limits application to just the end of the rod, the multi-directional tip uses six to eight holes around the rod. This modern application method is less invasive, provides a more complete application, in a shorter amount of time – saving you time and money. For example, an average- sized -home with a supported slab treatment, would receive about 200 gallons of treatment on both the inside and outside of the foundation as well as into block voids.

Christ Is Risen!
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
In my discussions with Protestants over the years,especially on forums,I have come to conclude that no amount of debate,or disscussion seems to be very convincing,especially with those who are firmly rooted in their position,I think I will take the advice of the Apostle Paul who said to "withdraw thyself from a brother who walks disorderly,and not according to the traditions he recieved from us".
But what if someone did NOT receive his traditions from us? Are we to withdraw ourselves from such a brother as if he walks disorderly?
Maybe I'm using a bad analogy,or I need to re-think my last statement.
Truly, just as you can only love someone into our churches (not argue them into church), so too can you only love someone into that person changing his or her own mind. This is a work of the Spirit to lead people into all truth, but often it needs the example of one person loving another despite all obstacles.
Apologetics pretty much helped me convert from Protestantism to Catholicism, while scholarly writing brought be from Catholicism to Orthodoxy. I think apologetics can be cheap at times, but they are definitely of some value for explaining misconceptions.
It is fundamentally impossible for Protestants, who dont have the Holy Spirit, to see the light of divine glory. Only the Lord Jesus himself can reveal it to them by mystical illumination.
They simply must fast and pray all day everyday and then the Lord will open the mysteries.
But when was the last time you've seen a Protestant do that??
OK, PoS, since you've in effect cast down the gauntlet at those not-present Protestants, this very present Protestant will pick it up.If it's "fundamentally impossible for Protestants [...] to see the light of divine glory", then what are you going to do about it? All you are doing is skiving off your self-given obligation to engage us! You're engaging in cheap posturing, the equivalent of saying "we have Abraham for our father". God is going to make a lot of sons of Abraham out of those stone-cold Protestants.You can try to interact with me as a potential convert, or even as a (misguided or not) worshipper of the same Triune God. But right now you are just bragging.
PoS I don't think that I am a sinless being so I do not have the right to judge King Henry VIII or Thomas Cranmer! The fact of the matter is PoS that the if the Christian life was about judging other people and pointing out there short comings then I would already be a Saint ! The Christian life is about emulating Christ and I don't remember him going around putting people down but rather loving them!
PoS: You cannot speak for God. His love and mercy is infininitely beyond your reckoning! The extent of his grace is unfathomable. Don't underestimate it. Love our Lord, receive his great love, and share it with your brothers and sisters, who are in the same boat as you.
Just out of curiosity, who are some Orthodox apologists?
St. Paul is a great one, as is St. John the Evangelist...
Except that, when one quotes them, one gets accused of being "sola scriptura"!
DennyB,If you are describing experiences you have had at that other forum which we both frequent, my first reaction is to heed Fr Chris's advice, but also to just 'shake the dust from your sandals' and move on.But then, I recently received a PM there from an evanglical who thanked me for my input and stated he would be exploring Orthodoxy in earnest. He had never posted in any thread of mine there, but lurked. Hence, you never know what impact you may be having. However, I cannot presume to teach myself, and so his comment made me uncomfortable, ironically. Must have made the admins there uncomfortable as well...PM's were discontinued there (within hours of my private exchange). Demetri
Well, Elder Cleopa's "The Truth of Our Faith" is largely apologetical, written as a dialogue with a Protestant interlocutor.Other than that, Regina Press publishes a LOT of apologetical books by various authors.

It's been a busy few months here in the Watson household.
We just ended basketball season. My sister is the head coach of the local high school varsity ladies basketball team. In the past four years, the Lady Cats have won 88% of their games, gone to State tournies all four years, and reached the Elite 8 three of those years. A phenomenal program. We try to get to every game, or as many as is possible. Those Lady Cats put on a heck of a show and we sure are proud of each and every one, coaches and players alike.
On the book end, Rabun County, Georgia, Newspapers, 1894 – 1899 is at the printers. I hope to have proofs in my hand within three to four weeks, and the finished product for sale another three or four weeks after that. For those who are interested, I've already put up an index of death notices and obituaries published in the three newspapers covered by this book.
I've been working on the second volume in what I hope will be a long series of transcriptions of Rabun County records. This next book will cover miscellaneous Superior Court records, primarily records of writ from 1836 to 1858 but possibly also some of the early court dockets. I've just about finished transcribing the first volume of writs, covering 1836 to 1841, and will begin abstracting those soon. These records are really exciting, and add a great deal of detail to the Superior Court minutes, which are at times so truncated as to be confusing. I'm also steadily working on transcribing the county marriage records and the earliest deed books, both of which will take another year or two to finish.
This past January, I registered for Samford University's Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research (Course 3: Research in the South, part 1). I've been looking forward to attending IGHR for several years now, and am absolutely thrilled to have made it into this particular course. When I first registered, it didn't seem real, but now I'm getting very excited about the trip, and in particular about working with some fine Southern researchers.
To round out my formal genealogical education for the year, I hope to attend the Regional In-depth Genealogical Studies Alliance this October. RIGSA is conducted annually by J. Mark Lowe and Linda Woodward-Geiger, two researchers who are also part of IGHR's Course 3 (Mark as the co-ordinator and a lecturer, and Linda as a lecturer). This year, Mark and Linda will be walking researchers through using the various records located at the Southeastern branch of the National Archives in the Atlanta area. They alternate annual sessions between that branch of NARA and the one in Fort Worth, Texas. It should be a very enriching experience.
If everything works out as planned, I'll also be registering this fall to take Boston University's Genealogical Research Certificate Program in January 2013. And, of course, I hope to attend the second part of Course 3 at Samford in the summer of that same year.
All of this push toward completing formal educational programs has a two-fold purpose: First, my own education as a researcher has been largely informal, as is the case for most genealogists. While I have learned a great deal on my own through hands-on research, informal mentoring, and the study of key publications (books, journals, and articles, online or off), it's past time for me to gain experience through a classroom setting.
And second, my ultimate goal is to earn official credentials through the Board for Certification of Genealogists. Nearly everything I've done research-wise over the past decade or so has been leading to that point. I've already begun working on the various elements of the application portfolio, which I had hoped to compile over the next year. If I am accepted at BU's certificate program, however, I will be able to take at least another year to complete the portfolio. According to everything I've read by other certification candidates, I'll need that extra time.
I think that covers everything. In the future, I hope to have more posts like yesterday's on our adventures finding and visiting the Old Smyrna Church Cemetery in Towns County. Until then, happy hunting.

London-based pay TV network British Sky Broadcasting has agreed to take control of its sister companies in Italy and Germany, creating a multinational European broadcaster. The deal could have a wider impact on the media industry, giving Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox a cash boost to potentially revive its attempt to buy Time Warner.
BSkyB said Friday it will buy Sky Italia and 57 percent of Sky Deutschland for 5.35 billion pounds ($9.1 billion) from media giant 21st Century Fox. Besides being chairman and CEO of 21st Century Fox, Murdoch is also BSkyB's largest shareholder with a stake of just over 39 percent.
BSkyB said the deal would create a pay TV provider with 20 million customers across three of Europe's four biggest markets.
Media analyst Claire Enders said the deal shows BSkyB is moving to build business outside its base in Britain and moving beyond direct local competition with BT.
"It's now focused on transporting its technology and its production skills into other markets where there is demand for cutting edge TV," she said. "They believe this phenomenon will come to other countries in Europe, particularly Italy." She said she did not anticipate regulatory obstacles.
James Murdoch, Rupert's son and co-chief operating officer of 21st Century Fox, said the combination of European Sky companies would create "enormous benefits for the combined business and for our shareholders."
Buying Time Warner would add on to Murdoch's media empire. He inherited several regional and local Australian newspapers from his father. Murdoch went on to found and head global media conglomerate News Corporation, which bought several newspapers including the UK's News of the World and the Wall Street Journal. In 1986, he created Fox Broadcasting.
Shareholders in BSkyB did not seem excited by the details of the deal, however, pushing the company's share price down 5 percent in London.
BSkyB said it was paying 2.45 billion pounds for Sky Italia and 2.9 billion pounds for its stake in Sky Deutschland. 21st Century Fox would receive cash payments of 4.9 billion pounds and BSkyB would also transfer its 21 percent stake in the National Geographic Channel. The company said it would make a voluntary cash offer to Sky Deutschland's minority shareholders at 6.75 euros ($9) per share.
Analysts note 21st Century Fox, which has a strong presence in cable, broadcast, film, pay TV and other fields, could use the cash from the European TV deal to help fund its pursuit of Time Warner after the recent failure of an $80 billion offer.
That bid was partly meant to counter consolidation among US TV distributors like Comcast-Time Warner Cable and AT&T-DirecTV.
Time Warner owns TV channels CNN, TNT and TBS, along with the Warner Bros. movie studio, which includes Batman, Superman and Harry Potter. Fox owns the 20th Century Fox movie studio, the Fox broadcast network and such TV channels as Fox News and FX.

Visual Studio 2013 added many important new features for running general-purpose code on the GPU. The most important of these are the support for shared CPU/GPU memory and the improvements in debugging. In this article, the first in a two-part series, I provide a sample application that solves algorithms on the GPUs using Microsoft C++ AMP parallel technology and I demonstrate how to debug the code running on the GPU from inside Visual Studio.
The New C++ AMP Debugging Experience
When Microsoft introduced C++ AMP in Visual Studio 2012, the support for GPU debugging was limited to Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 platforms. If you worked with previous Visual Studio versions, you already know that Microsoft reserves certain features to the most recent Windows version. The lack of support of previous Windows versions for GPU debugging was a big problem for C++ AMP and its popularity. Fortunately, Visual Studio 2013 added support for GPU debugging on both Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1.
That's great news because sometimes one of the big problems when moving to a newer Windows version is the lack of support for graphics hardware drivers that don't allow you to take full advantage of your existing GPUs. Thus, the reduced debugging experience in both Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 wasn't enabling a huge number of developers running on older versions of Windows to fully debug C++ AMP code.
There is still one specific feature that is only available on Windows 8.1: the side-by-side CPU/GPU debugging. Although the WARP (short for Windows Advanced Rasterization Platform) accelerator supports this mixed mode debugging only on Windows 8.1, you can still debug either CPU or GPU code per debugging instance on the other supported platforms. WARP is a high-speed, fully conformant software rasterizer, introduced with the Direct3D 11 runtime.
When you need to debug a C++ AMP application, you can launch three different kinds of debuggers in Visual Studio 2013, depending on your platform:
- Debug just the code that runs on the CPU.
- Debug just the code that runs on the GPU.
- Use the WARP accelerator to enable mixed-mode debugging and debug code that runs either on the CPU or the GPU.
Debugging CPU Code
The following lines show an example of a simple C++ AMP application that performs a very simple sum of the elements of three one-dimensional arrays of
#include "stdafx.h" #include <amp.h> #include <iostream> using namespace concurrency; void amp_sum(int *array_a, int *array_b, int *array_c, int *array_sum, int size) { // Create the C++ AMP objects that will make the necessary transfers from CPU to GPU array_view<const int, 1> a(size, array_a); array_view<const int, 1> b(size, array_b); array_view<const int, 1> c(size, array_c); array_view<int, 1> sum(size, array_sum); // Use the discard_data optimization hint to tell the runtime to avoid copying the current contents // of the view to a target accelerator_view because the existing content is not needed sum.discard_data(); parallel_for_each( // Define the compute domain, i.e., the set of threads that are created sum.extent, // The following line will run on each thread on the accelerator [=](index<1> idx) restrict(amp) { sum[idx] = a[idx] + b[idx] + c[idx]; } ); } int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { const int size = 10; int valuesA[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 }; int valuesB[] = { 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 }; int valuesC[] = { 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000 }; int valuesAPlusBPlusC[size]; amp_sum(valuesA, valuesB, valuesC, valuesAPlusBPlusC, size); // Print the results for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) { std::cout << valuesAPlusBPlusC[i] << "\n"; } std::cin.get(); return 0; }
If you execute the application, you will see the following output in the console:
111 222 333 444 555 666 777 888 999 1110
_tmain method defines three one-dimensional arrays of int with 10 elements:
valuesB and
valuesC. In addition, the code defines another one-dimensional array 10 integers that will hold the results of the sum operation of the elements in the three arrays,
valuesAPlusBPlusC. The algorithm is very simple,
valuesAPlusBPlusC[0] will have the result of
valuesA[0] +
valuesB[0] +
valuesAPlusBPlusC[1] will have the result of
valuesA[1] +
valuesB[1] +
valuesC[1], and so on. The
amp_sum function receives the three input arrays, the output array and the number of elements (
size), and then, the code prints the results saved in the
valuesAPlusBPlusC array to the console.
amp_sum method has some code that will run on the CPU and some code that will be executed on the GPU. First, the method creates the C++ AMP objects that will make the necessary transfers from CPU to GPU. The code defines one
Concurrency::array_view<const int, 1> for each input array received as a parameter. The GPU won't change the data in the input arrays, and therefore, the code specifies
const int instead of
int for the
array_view type. C++ AMP will copy the current contents of each array to a target
accelerator_view because these arrays will be necessary as the input data.
array_view<const int, 1> a(size, array_a); array_view<const int, 1> b(size, array_b); array_view<const int, 1> c(size, array_c);
array_view is an N-dimensional view over data held in another container. In these three cases, the containers are one-dimensional arrays, so the
_Rank parameter that specifies the number of dimensions of each
array_view is set to 1. Each
array_view exposes an indexing interface congruent to that of the
The situation is a bit different with the output array. This array will be necessary for the C++ AMP code, but it is needed only for holding the results of each sum operation, and therefore, I don't want to waste time copying the initial contents of the array to the GPU. Thus, the code defines the
array_view<int, 1> and then calls the
discard_data optimization hint to tell the C++ AMP runtime to avoid copying the current contents of the view to a target
accelerator_view because the existing content isn't needed.
array_view<int, 1> sum(size, array_sum); sum.discard_data();
amp_sum function receives
array_sum and
size. With these arguments, the code created the following C++ AMP objects:
a: Allows the C++ AMP code to access the read-only (
const) contents of
array_acopied to the target
b: Allows the C++ AMP code to access the read-only (
const) contents of
array_bcopied to the target
c: Allows the C++ AMP code to access the read-only (
const) contents of
array_ccopied to the target
sum: Allows the C++ AMP code to write to the target
accelerator_view. Once the C++ AMP code finishes its execution, the runtime will transfer the contents from the
accelerator_viewto the mapped array (
The C++ AMP runtime includes many performance improvements from Visual Studio 2013. For example, in this case, the code benefits from one of these enhancements because the runtime has an optimized performance when copying small data sizes between the CPU and the accelerator.

The following are courtesy of the collective mind of the PubLib Listserve January 2010 Archives
From the Front Line Circulation Desks :
Message: I cannot come in today to return a DVD. I tried to renew the DVD and the system will not allow me to because someone has put in a request for this DVD. It seems to me if I am allowed renewals on DVDs, this person should be expected to wait until I am done. I should not be penalized, with no warning, that I am suddenly not allowed to renew my movie. I should not be expected to pay any fine or even show this on my library record.
… my favorite, although it was a telephone call, was the lady who called me about the overdue notice she had gotten on the book & CD set she had checked out. We were wrong, it couldn't be overdue, because she had only had it for four weeks and the title said, "Learn Spanish in Three Months."
Our Circ clerk just shared with me at lunch today that she had strong words from a patron who was also upset about renewals: we've had quite a bit of snow this week (with more to come tonight) and the patron cannot get out of his house and all the way in to town to drop off his books. He is very upset that he is going to be charged 15 cents when it isn't his fault it snowed . . . He tried to convince our new circ clerk that we have a no-late-fees-when-there's-snow-on-the-ground policy.
I've witnessed a patron trying to tell a Circ clerk that she shouldn't have to pay that late fee because she wasn't going to *drive* to the library to return materials that were due on Earth Day. One supposes the energy demands caused by using the phone or web that day were simply too much for her to consider utilizing those methods, either.
My favorite excuse for not paying late fees, is when the patron says I didn't even read/watch/listen to it.
We recently had a patron come to the door before we opened. He didn't trythe door, just started banging, kicking, and swearing. He repeated "Open the d at mn door" a few times and then left.
The next evening he returned and of course he had received a bill for the book since he'd had it since September. He complained that he can't get to the library when we are open. I refrained from pointing out that he managed to get to the library to check the book out.
I politely stated that he was welcome to use the book drop if we were closed. "Oh, where is that?" 'It's to the right of the door you came in this evening.' He looked startled and paid his fine saying thank-you to all the staff for their help as he left.
I had a patron insist she returned the books she had checked out for six months. She remembered that the library was wide open and no one was there. (Tiny library inside a college, no book drop.) She said she left the books on the desk and walked out. She said it was a Saturday. The library was not open on Saturday and only a couple of people had the key.
Northern Nevada usually has very little snow that sticks around, but this year has had significant snow: a patron called to say that she couldn't get to the library to turn in her books, so they went to California instead. Huh?
From the Reference and Information Trenches :
Diarrhea of a Wimpy Kid – I was told by a second grader that he read that long book……I tried so hard not to laugh.
My manager once was asked: Little Boy: "Do you have a book on Third-Grade Marshall?"
Manager/Librarian: "Do you mean Thurgood Marshall?"
True story: A lady approaches the reference desk. I am sitting behind the desk (under a big sign that says Reference/Information), with my county ID on.
Lady: What's your job?
Me: I'm a reference librarian.
Lady: Here?
When I worked at a bookstore, someone came in and asked me "Do you make keys here?"
I was once asked if we had any books on "Hanukkah and other foreign Christmas holidays."
"Did George Washington sign the Declaration of Independence after he wrote it?"
I like, " can you get me the book I checked in last week? It had a green cover".
Once a patron asked "Why would they put two short novels in one book?" She thought the novellas had been mashed together into one. I could not make her understand that they were still separate. Even saying, there's the first novella, then the second one starts independently. She just kept saying, "Why would they do that? It doesn't make any sense." I said, "You're right, it doesn't." And walked away.
My best question was "Do you have books?" asked about 10 years ago. It was difficult keeping a straight face.
"How much does it cost to rent books here?"
How about "Do you have the book with all the answers?" I was about to suggest the Bible when I remembered I was interning in an academic library and they were looking for the answer book that their professor had left for them there.
I work in a small, almost rural, library. One day a woman called up and asked the director, "How did Mr. [Smith's] prostate surgery go?"
The director was a little confused as we didn't have anyone on staff with that name and said, "I'm sorry, but there isn't any Mr. Smith here."
The woman said, "Oh, no! He isn't *there*; he lives down on Main St. I'm just calling you to find out how his prostate surgery went."
The director thought that maybe the woman had her confused with one of the other staff members who perhaps COULD give her that piece of information and she said, "I don't have that information. Are you sure you meant to speak to *me* about this?"
And the woman answered brightly, "Of course I did! You're the library. You know everything!"
I had a little boy ask me once for "gay magazines" – i.e. "game magazines."
On a different topic, I once saw a patron go to an OPAC terminal to access his email account (which has happened several times). The screen was already set for an author search. He typed something in the search box, hit "submit," scratched his head at the results and walked away. I walked up to the terminal and this was on the screen:
"no author matches found for bigstud99 at hotmail.com; nearby matches are.."
When I worked as a circulation assistant at an academic library, a student asked for a "Non-fiction book" for an assignment. Just any Non-fiction book…
I was just sitting at the reference desk a few minutes ago and got that exact same request, but mine was followed up by "I want something that isn't boring." She went off to look at some titles to try and see if she was interested in any of them. Then my shift ended. Hopefully something appealed.
"Do you have any books with photographs of real dinosaurs?"
My most interesting ones actually happened in a bookstore that I worked in during the early 90s:
A customer asked me "Where are the red books?" After she clarified that she wanted to know where the books with red covers were, and that she didn't have a particular one in mind, I told her that we don't shelve by color. She said: "Why not?"
Another customer asked me where the "book on the table" was (we had dozens of display tables). She couldn't remember the author's name, the title, what it was about, what the cover looked like, whether it was paperback or hardback, or any other detail about it. She thought that she had seen it a few weeks prior, or maybe a few months back, but at least within the last six months…maybe.
Another time, a customer walked up to me and asked me where books with "pictures of dead things" were. He didn't care if they were human or not, how they were killed, where they were killed, etc. He just kept reiterating that he wanted a book with "lots of pictures of dead things." We tried True Crime, but the books there had "too many words." We went to the Photography section and found a book on Vietnam that had lots of pictures of dead people, but (sadly) there was a one sentence caption at the bottom of each page. "Too many words," he said. In the end, I sent him to "Forbidden Books," an interesting bookstore in Dallas(now defunct) that carried the books that most bookstores wouldn't touch. 😯
At the same bookstore, a customer walked up to me and told me a sad tale about the murder of her mother-in-law. Evidently, after visiting the customer's family, the grandmother got on a plane, flew home, and was picked up in the airport by one of her other sons, who then gunned her down on the spot. The customer said "Where are the children's books on that?" She didn't want books about dealing with murder, books about the death of a relative, or general books about grief. No, she specifically wanted a book about a grandmother who is shot by her son, and nothing else would do. At that point, I fell back on my stock answer for that type of situation: I told her that it was a shame that the publishing industry had ignored that issue, and it would be great if someone wouldstep forward and write a good book about it. She said "I'll do that!" and left happy. 😦 – Jesse Ephraim
Or the patron who looked at me with disbelief when I told him that fiction was organized by the authors' last names. "Well, why don't you put them by title?" As in, all fiction in alpha order by title. When I explained that some people want to see what else an author has written, and that many people like an author but don't know the titles of books they've written, he looked at me as though I were mentally deficient.
A favorite of mine… I *believe* I read about this one years ago in Booklist, probably in a Will Manley article, but I'm not exactly sure. This has stuck with me all these years – namely for the tactful manner used by the librarian, if anything.
It went like this:
Patron: "Do you have a life-sized atlas of the world available?"
Reference Librarian: [With an incredulous look upon her face] "Yes, but its in use right now."
Customer (Direct quote): : "I need some books on booby traps."
Librarian: "Sure! Are you looking for hunting traps?"
Customer: "Hell no! I'm lookin' for human booby traps, those d at mn wetbacks
keep stealing my chickens!" 👿

Growing up, my mom used to call me eagle ears — I could hear every single conversation going on in the house. I even listened to my mom doing an alumni interview for a kid applying to Princeton. This kind of got me in trouble since I was applying the following year and should not have been "overhearing" the interview.
There was no doubt that I *ahem* had a big mouth.
And when it comes to cooking and entertaining, I definitely have eyes that are bigger than my stomach.
If this is sounding strangely like a bedtime story gone wrong, fear not, I haven't gnawed away at Grannie.
But, I do tend to grossly over-purchase groceries to the extent that much of my food has the potential to go to waste. I shop when I'm hungry. And I make half-hearted attempts at grocery lists. Reading foodblogs about mothers of 7 who feed their families each week on little more than I could spend on a pair of shoes puts me to shame. Or at least makes me reconsider my habits. A little bit.
A recent case in point – I was making a brisket for Rosh Hashana dinner and figured I would double the recipe since my parents love this so much. So I bought ten pounds of brisket.
Ten pounds of brisket.
I should have known that I was going overboard when the butcher didn't even have a single 10-pounder but had to give me two normal, family-sized briskets, one 4 pounds, one 6, to reach my desired weight. Then, of course, the briskets didn't fit into the cocotte I had planned on using – actually a single one would have been a tight squeeze. But that didn't stop me. I was determined to make ten pounds of brisket, so I pulled down my huge turkey roaster and layered it with the two slabs of meat, marinated them for an hour …
…and filled the pan to the brim with tomatoes and onions.
The result – five hours later, the apartment smelled fabulous and the meat had cooled sufficiently to be sliced down.
Six carnivores barely made a dent in the four-pounder. And my vegetarian sister even tried a bite. She was feeling adventurous. But didn't feel so well after the bite.
And we still had more than six pounds of brisket left. And I had already cooked and/or prepped three more different meals. And there are only so many brisket sandwiches that my six-foot-three father can eat!
My more experienced brisket-maker friend Michele swooped in to the rescue – following her advice, I sliced down the remaining larger brisket, covered it with sauce, and froze it in a baking dish – a main course for another dinner.
My spoiled little cat, Prescott Winslow III, hid behind the tablecloth, thinking I would not see him while I sliced (and sliced and sliced – ten pounds of brisket takes forever to slice, even when you spread out the slicing over a few days!), hoping for a few scraps to fall.
Now I have learned my lesson for brisket, but what should I do with the six butternut squashes, four pomegranates, three bags of potatoes, and two cauliflowers that I still have?
Tomato and Onion Braised Brisket
I found this recipe on Epicurean last year and it was such a success that I made it again this year, but went a bit overboard. The main modification I made to the recipe was to cut the amount of oil in half. I made a "rub" with the 1 1/4 C of oil that they call for, but it was so much that I now have a lovely jar of seasoned oil in my fridge that I have been using for salad dressings. I suggest cutting the oil down to 1/2-3/4 C depending on what cut of brisket you use. I used a "New York Cut Brisket" which the butcher explained is a bit more marbled with fat than others. If you are given a choice of first- versus second-cut brisket, my understanding is that first-cut is leaner and is often less flavorful (but might not shrink as much).
Another tip – make sure to cover the brisket tightly with a well-fitting lid or heavy-duty aluminum foil. Last year, I didn't cover the pan tightly enough with foil and forgot to baste every hour or so — which resulted in a lot of burnt bits of tomato and onion (if you're being generous, you can call it a nice caramelized crust). This year, I basted better, and the brisket was fabulously moist and tender. While my dad had requested some special crusty bits, the lack thereof did not seem to stop him from having his fill, and taking a few sandwiches for the road.
Also, make sure you give yourself enough time to make the brisket: 5.5 hours minimum! It requires an hour of marinating, 4 hours of roasting, and at least 20-30 minutes of cooling before you can slice it — ideally it should be refrigerated overnight, and the brisket definitely tastes better the second day.
Serves 8 with leftovers (really!). I am NOT giving you the excessive doubling of the recipe that I did.
– 4-5 pound brisket (or slightly larger if you are neurotic)
– salt and pepper
– 1.5 t dried oregano
– 1.5 t dried thyme
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2-3/4 C olive oil
– 2 large onions, thinly sliced (or chopped)
– 2 C coarsely chopped tomatoes (you can use canned tomatoes in a pinch)
Marinate the meat. Season the meat with salt and pepper on all sides. Then coat with a mixture of oregano, thyme, garlic and olive oil. You can either do this in a zip lock bag or in the pan you plan to use. Let sit at room temperature for one hour.
Preheat oven to 300ºF and prepare the vegetables.
Roast and baste. Put the brisket in your pan and cover with the onions and tomatoes. Cover tightly with foil and roast for 3.5 to 4 hours. Baste with accumulated juices every hour or so.
Cool. The brisket is ready when it has shrunk, the tomatoes and onions have lost their distinct shapes and formed a sauce (you might be able to see some bits of tomato skin, but not much else), and the end of the brisket can be pried off with a fork (but it's not falling apart). Remove the brisket and sauce to a platter (or cutting board) and allow to cool before slicing. Degrease the pan juices and pour over sliced meat.

I got nothing.
I forgot the maps
We did great this month!It would be great to have more people give in the new year since we have so many members.
What happens to the money when it reaches above the goal?
And remember you do not have to give a huge amount! Any little bit helps!
Thanks for the post explaining it!
Ladies and Gentlemen,We still need your support for this forum.Beyond the monthly fee we need donations for big projects like updating the site.Last month did not end as well as previous months have.If you have not donated before, please do.Thank you!

And you know what's in bolded how?
To answer the question posed above, donations ebb and flow. Over time, we meet our goals, but sometimes we don't. When we go over in a month, it averages out the times we don't make the goal.Here's how it works: money donated goes through the OCnet Treasury application to a paypal account that is under my control and is recorded in the private Administration dashboard area of OCnet for tracking purposes. I pay the bills for OCnet out of my personal funds, and then reimburse myself from this paypal account. Besides their being able to see the Treasury application totals in the Admin section, I maintain a basic accounting spreadsheet that is available to the other administrators for purposes of open, full disclosure, and transparency.When we get more than we need, which has happened a few times, I pre-pay the server costs in advance even further, because we get a discount by doing that. Eventually, within 1-2 years, we are also going to need more server space, since the forum database is getting huge. So that factors into my planning purposes as well.The most money we ever stockpiled at one time was about $700, at which point I prepaid the server for two years. It is good through sometime in 2014 currently. Moneys collected now will be used to renew the server after that point, and toward the upcoming server expansion (which might increase our cost by something like 25-35%, but don't quote me on that, as I don't have the numbers in front of me).If we ever got a really big windfall, I might also consult with the other administrators and moderators about ways to expand the site beyond its current reach; I had always wanted to make OCnet more than "just" a forum (although never compromising/jeopardizing this primary mission, since we do it so well), but time constraints and resource constraints have prevented that heretofore.Fr.AnastasiosOCnet Founder
Is there a way in which we can make recurring payments automatically? I forget...often.
is there a way to donate that gives 100% of the donation to OCnet without giving some to paypal?
Quote from: Agia Marina on May 01, 2013, 05:07:11 PMIs there a way in which we can make recurring payments automatically? I forget...often. Anastasios replied to my email about this question. His rely was:"I believe that recurring payments cannot be set up through our treasury system at this time."
