StoryText (formerly PyUseCase) is an unconventional GUI testing tool, with support for PyGTK, Tkinter, wxPython, Swing, SWT and Eclipse RCP. Instead of recording GUI mechanics directly, it asks the user for descriptive names and hence builds up a "domain language" along with a "UI map file" that translates it into the current GUI layout. The point is to reduce coupling, allow very expressive tests, and ensure that GUI changes mean changing the UI map file but not all the tests. Instead of an "assertion" mechanism, it auto-generates a log of the GUI appearance and changes to it. The point is then to use that as a baseline for text-based testing, using e.g. TextTest. It also includes support for instrumenting code so that "waits" can be recorded, making it far easier for a tester to record correctly synchronized tests without having to explicitly plan for this.1 weekly downloads

The problem now is that your plugin doesn't really has a method to call that it only add the meta boxes for a certain post type. Even all is not a problem. I would say that the way you add meta boxes is wrong and that it would be a better way to add them when the action add_meta_boxes is called.
My solution to make your plugin work in my plugin is the following code:

Around November 2012, Zachary Haines began complaining that he was constantly cold, especially after meals. In school, he pulled on sweatshirts after lunch to tough out his shivering, icy-fingered misery.
At that point, his mother didn't know that feeling cold is a classic sign of anorexia nervosa, a psychiatric illness marked by self-starvation.
But common sense told Tara-Leigh Tarantola that her son was eating too little and exercising too much, even though he was a healthy-looking, high-achieving, popular high school senior. She explained her concerns to each doctor and nutritionist - seven in all - over the next five months.

WEEKEND EXCURSION; Where History and Beaches Meet
By CHARLES STRUM
Published: July 3, 1998
Look at a map and you'll see the problem instantly: the pint-size right triangle of land called Delaware looks like a cartographic afterthought.
Its northern tip is embedded in Pennsylvania. The rest seems to be a province of eastern Maryland, which itself resembles a Rorschach blot between Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. What's more, the southernmost sliver of the Eastern Shore turns out to be part of Virginia.
The whole peninsula is called Delmarva, a coinage as cluttered as the acreage it was meant to unify. Why can't Delaware have the rectangular boldness of, say, Kansas?
All right, this is a quibble over a small place with multiple personalities. Once you get 100 miles south of industrial Wilmington, the name Du Pont vanishes from consciousness, and Delaware, indeed, begins to look very much like Kansas, unrelentingly rural and as flat as barn siding. But go east, and the sameness of southern Delaware's farm country gives way to bay and ocean beach with some of the most curvaceous sand dunes on the Atlantic.
From Lewes (pronounced LOO-iss), a 360-year-old village of boat builders and fishermen tucked into the crook of Cape Henlopen at the mouth of Delaware Bay, to Rehoboth Beach and its sisters, Bethany Beach, Dewey Beach and Fenwick Island, the compact 25-mile ocean coastline makes a weekend excursion feel like a visit to someone's rambling summer compound. Your host has left no one unprovided for: shopping and sightseeing in historic Lewes, boardwalk amusements in Rehoboth Beach and, in a state with no sales tax, three sprawling outlet malls with 140 high-end retailers on Route 1, the main north-south highway.
Once the ancient preserve of American Indian beachcombers, the coast's harbors and inlets eventually lured pirates and other plunderers (the Dutch and the British). The pirates, among them Captain Kidd, were rumored to have buried their treasure onshore; the Dutch and the British occasionally fired cannonballs at the populace from the safety of the bay. And through it all, the shore has always offered four-star avian hospitality during the spring migration, when millions of horseshoe-crab eggs make Delaware the prime layover for red knots and other birds commuting between South American winter homes and Arctic breeding grounds.
But no invasion has been as enduring or as lucrative as the invasion of the summer people, a tradition that dates to the 1870's, when Rehoboth Beach, the hub of the Delaware shore, became a Methodist campground. You can still find Methodists and campgrounds, but mostly you will find families from the mid-Atlantic states, the Capitol Hill crowd (Rehoboth, 125 miles from Washington, has long billed itself as ''the nation's summer capital'') and a share of the 20-somethings. They fill the low-rise boardwalk hotels and the dignified Colonial and Cape Cod homes for rent deep in the city's cool pine groves, a feature that distinguishes Rehoboth Beach from the nearby New Jersey shore, where shade usually comes from a beach umbrella.
In Delaware, the beaches are free (no tags, no fees) and summer feels like a religious rite, with the beach as altar and the parking meter a kind of collection plate.
Up and down Rehoboth Avenue, the wide four-lane main street in Rehoboth Beach, where earlier in the century vacationers arrived at the mile-long boardwalk by steam locomotive, parking meters are the most visible sign that summer is in session. The city implants the meter heads about a week before Memorial Day and extracts them the second Sunday after Labor Day.
Gorged from continual daily feedings (10 A.M. to midnight), the meters are a gold mine -- 4.4 million quarters last season, or $1.1 million in revenue. Much of it pays for a work force that grows from 64 to 200 full-time employees -- from beach patrol to police force to sanitation crew -- to serve a community that bulges to as many as 50,000 in July and August. Year-round, the city has fewer than 1,500 inhabitants.
By Ferry Across the Bay
My 12-year-old son, Alec, and I decided to preview the season on a recent weekend. We knew we'd have a 170-mile drive down the Garden State Parkway to Cape May, but we were looking forward to a leisurely ferry ride at the end of it.
After a three-hour trip from northern New Jersey, we easily spotted the blue and yellow signs for the Cape May-Lewes Ferry, a five-boat fleet that began service in 1964 and now carries 1.5 million passengers annually.
Each vessel can carry 1,000 passengers and 100 vehicles. In peak season, a family of four in a car or van would pay $39.50 one way. The 17-mile voyage across Delaware Bay to Lewes takes about 70 minutes.
Alec and I crossed on the Cape Henlopen, grazing in the snack bar and picking over trinkets in the gift shop. The bay was calm -- we picked up a three-dolphin escort midway -- and the boat eventually reached its cruising speed of about 16 knots. As we drew near Lewes, we caught sight of some of the cylindrical watchtowers at the former Fort Miles, a warren of concrete gun emplacements built by the Army in 1940 to guard the bay against submarines preying on Allied oil tankers from Wilmington and Philadelphia. German subs were sighted (one surrendered in 1945), but ordnance from Fort Miles never engaged one. Climb the 110 steps to the top of a tower, and you'll have a panoramic view.

Oh, this delicious month of May! I hope I remember it always, these warm afternoons on the back deck, string lights overhead, green canopies reaching up from the tree limbs and almost to the rooftop of our brick house. Throughout our little 1960s neighborhood, on the hour, all day long, you can hear church bells chime from a few blocks away, clear and loud, shooting out hymns from my childhood into the bright blue sky, and some days I almost can't believe the magic of them, mixing with the rustle of leaves in the wind, dogs barking next door, someone's lawnmower at work. I have already lived many Mays, but it is this May in which I've taken special delight, in large part because of the white, plastic adirondack chairs we recently purchased for $12 apiece (what a pittance compared to what they've returned, hours in the sunshine or the evening chill while Rocco plays on blankets at our feet); and, also, in perhaps much larger part, because of something I sense changing, finally changing, … [Read more...]
Meaty Lasagna
Lasagna is something of a Christmas tradition in Tim's family, and meaty tomato sauce is one in mine, so last weekend we combined the two for a meaty, cheesy lasagna good enough for a festive family gathering on Christmas Day. We spent most of the afternoon making it---first the sauce and then assembling the lasagna layers---and probably only 20 to 30 minutes sitting down to eat, but the added blessing the prep process gave us was stories of Tim's childhood and memories of my grandma, the kinds of things that come up when you smell tomato sauce cooking on the stove. My grandma died in 1999 and Tim's mom in 2002 but I swear when we are chopping garlic and boiling noodles, there's this undeniable comfort that comes from the familiar scents and sounds and flavors you once shared with someone who is now gone. Maybe this is the whole point of traditions, holiday or otherwise: we're creating landmarks for ourselves so that someday, when we're far away from this place or that person, we can … [Read more...]
Zucchini Mushroom Pepper Boats with Mozzarella
"When the time comes to you at which you will be forced at last to utter the speech which has lain at the center of your soul for years, which you have, all that time, idiot-like, been saying over and over, you'll not talk about the joy of words. I saw well why the gods do not speak to us openly, nor let us answer. Till that word can be dug out of us, why should they hear the babble that we think we mean? How can they meet us face to face till we have faces?" C.S. Lewis I finished this C.S. Lewis novel tonight, my friend Kendra's favorite (p.s., for context, this is the friend Kendra who sent me this scone recipe last year and who cooked dinner and talked business with me in my kitchen last summer and who runs a bakery subscription company for fangirls in North Carolina because she is just that cool and Linchpin-y). Because the book club I'm reading the book with doesn't meet until next Wednesday, I've now spent the better part of the evening Googling articles and reading … [Read more...]
Cauliflower Stuffed Peppers
Like businesses, music, vacations and books, most meals begin as ideas---but as ideas that come more quickly down the mental conveyor belt than sonatas or summer getaway plans. A conversation at the office jogs a memory of Grandma's butter cookies, and the kitchen finds you rolling dough; a blog post inspires dessert and you're beelining for the pantry; or, unexpectedly on a weekday afternoon, a hunt through the refrigerator, opening drawers and crispers, fills your hands with bright red peppers and cauliflower and recalls a possibility you'd almost forgotten---and then, that quick, momentary thought, incubated right away in discussion and action, becomes a recipe you test twice in one week with your husband, the two of you lost together in discovery, in watching the abstract become something you hold in your hands and eat. … [Read more...]

The Perfect Crustless Quiche
February 17 was a big day for my family this year. Not only was it my mom's birthday, but it also was the first time they came to visit Nashville. Ever! And while I've been wanting my parents to visit ever since I first moved last February, I'll be the first to admit that in the valley of a few weeks ago, it felt a little impossible. So I'm thankful to say that in fact, we had a busy four days, filled with many moments where I'd look at Tim and say, I'm not in pain!, amidst marathons of Downton Abbey, antiquing in Franklin, a visit to the gym and grabbing them Olive & Sinclair chocolate-dipped popsicles at Hot and Cold. It all started when they arrived early Friday morning, having braved a 6 AM flight to get here, and so we had a birthday breakfast waiting---and the star of that show was this quiche. Here are the reasons I like this quiche: 1) You don't have to make a pie crust. It's not that I have anything against pie crust (especially not this foolproof one!); it's just that … [Read more...]
thin, chewy pizza crust
You remember what it was like when you were a kid and you hated to go to bed? You could have just had the best day in your life---a birthday party, playing with friends, swimming, riding bikes, building pretend houses, eating fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies, whatever---but when the sun went down, you knew what was coming. No matter how great the last few hours had been, no matter how much joy you'd been offered---and especially no matter what anyone else had told you about thankfulness---there was only one thing on your mind when your mom said to put your pajamas on, and it was a disheartening thing indeed: all this fun had to end. That's a little how I feel this morning. It's funny to think about, really. I mean, we all look at a child throwing a tantrum before bed and see precisely what he doesn't, the very factors that would take his fear away: Morning will come, we want to say to him. There's more fun to be had. And besides, you have to rest; you need it. We know he … [Read more...]
Rolled Eggplant

We had quesadillas for brunch earlier and I thought I'd complete the Mexican theme by serving the quesadillas with agua fresca. I think themed meals are fun — but only when it's not too fussy. I remember another Mexican-themed breakfast when I made potatoes with chorizo and chili, and enjoyed it with cafe con leche.
I was actually thinking about that delicious cafe con leche as made a mental inventory of the things I'd need for the agua fresca, wondering if I ought to make cafe con leche instead. But there were cucumbers in the fridge, the mint in the garden is thriving and I remembered that we bought a glass carafe a couple of weeks ago that we hadn't used yet… Perfect!
- 1 large cucumber, peeled, seeds scraped off then diced
8 mint leaves
sugar, to taste
Put the diced cucumber, about 4 tbsps. of sugar and four mint leaves in the blender. Pour in about two cups of water and puree.
Pour the pureed mixture into a pitcher (or a carafe, if you feel like it), add ice, stir and add more sugar if needed.
Tear the remaining mint leaves, add to the agua fresca, stir and serve.
Cooking time (duration): 10 minutes
Number of servings (yield): 3
Meal type: snack / drink

I'm not even that tall and my toes hung off the edge. Also, the lack of a sheet on the front kind of left privacy wanting when in bed.

Security will be increased and troublemakers banned at some downtown Amarillo bars and restaurants as part of an effort to curb recent violence on Polk Street, management said Thursday.
The pledges followed a meeting a day earlier between the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission and the owners of seven alcohol establishments located either on Polk or nearby.
A fatal officer-involved shooting Jan. 30, brawls and a spike in nighttime police calls sparked a TABC investigation and raised questions about how to make downtown safer. Millions of dollars have been invested on Polk as part of the city's downtown revitalization push.
Nowhere else in Amarillo are the bars as tightly packed as they are on Polk: Nine alcohol establishments are located in the street's 700 and 800 blocks and a 10th bar stands nearby.
TABC Sgt. Randy Chatham said that even before Wednesday's meeting, changes were under way. The owner of Wild Card recently decided to admit only patrons 21 and older instead of 18, he said. The club said Thursday the change was made to prevent injuries and fights.
Steven Sellers, the manager at Pink Sports Bar and Lounge, said the club hired a security officer about a month ago to patrol the parking lots nearby. He said the security officer recently helped police catch a hit-and-run driver.
"We're doing that as an extra step," he said. "If they see anything going on, he calls 911."
Sellers said bar owners are working to start a program that will let nearby establishments know when someone has been barred. He said Pink uses a hand-held scanner to verify identification. In addition to collecting other information, the scanner identifies people who have been barred by the club.
"It's good that the businesses are coming together and making downtown more pleasant (for) those that don't think it's pleasant," Sellers said.
Business representatives exchanged contact information Wednesday, and the talks included employee education, training programs for managers and the possibility of certifying security guards, Chatham said.
"I think it's definitely a step in the right direction," he said. "They don't want to have a dangerous situation for themselves or their employees. We'll just take it one step at a time."
He said the meeting also included representatives from the Amarillo Police Department and city Fire Marshal's Office.
Police officials did not return messages seeking comment. Fire officials declined to comment.
Amarillo City Manager Jarrett Atkinson said he hadn't yet received a report from staff members who attended the meeting, so he couldn't comment on the outcome. But he said he is glad the dialogue has begun.
"I think it's very good that we're able to put the right people that have the right ability to work on some of these issues in the same place at the same time," Atkinson said.
Vicky Tharpe, owner of Tatum's Nightclub, said she thought the meeting went "quite well," but cooperation among business owners and city officials will make the difference.
She said establishments want to communicate better when it comes to patrons who have been banned because some simply head from one club to another.
Downtown businesses are going to start turning people away if they're causing trouble and will work with city officials to make sure those people can't return, she said.
"We're not going to put up with it," Tharpe said.
"If you do that, people when they come down there know there is a zero tolerance. If we work together as a team, we can set an example that maybe other places in town will implement also."
Staff reporter Karen Welch contributed to this report.

Londonderry Port
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2011) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Londonderry Port is a port at Lisahally in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The United Kingdom's most westerly and Ireland's most northerly port, it has capacity for 30,000-ton vessels and accepts cruise ships. The current port is on the east bank of the River Foyle at the southern end of Lough Foyle, by the small village of Strathfoyle, about 5 miles (8.0 km) north-east of Derry. It is operated by the Londonderry Port and Harbour Commissioners, whose former offices, just north of the city's walls, are now a museum.
Most of the current Londonderry Port is in the townland of Lisahally (or Lissahawley), a toponym that may be derived from Irish Lios a' Chalaidh, meaning "ringfort of the landing place".[1] Known as Lunnonderrie Hairbour in Ulster-Scots,[2] the port has witnessed mass emigration of Irish and Scots-Irish people over the centuries to North America, Scotland, England and Australia.
The port had a thriving shipbuilding business and was known for building clipper ships.[3] Shipbuilding at the port declined after the introduction of iron vessels, and no large ships were built for some decades after 1846. The Foyle Shipyard, founded in 1882, brought shipbuilding back to the port, but it ceased trading in 1892.[4]
The port saw the transport of many goods over the centuries. Seed potatoes were shipped to places as far away as Egypt. Cattle were regularly shipped to and from Glasgow by the Burns and Laird steamer until the late 1960s. Manufactured items including linen, linoleum and shirts were exported to Great Britain for onward distribution. The McCorkell Line sailed from here.
The waterfront area of the city was redeveloped in the 1990s. The cattle holding pens that used to be near where the current British Telecom building stands were demolished along with the transit sheds in order to create a new road and car parking along the banks of the River Foyle. This and with the need for deep water moorings for larger vessels saw the port moved to the docks at Lisahally in 1993. These docks were originally used by DuPont to import raw materials for their manufacturing process and by the nearby Coolkeeragh power station to import fuel oil for their turbines.
Londonderry Port and the docks at Lisahally gave vital service to the Allies in the longest running campaign of World War II, the Battle of the Atlantic. This ended with the surrender of the German U-Boat fleet at Lisahally on 14 May 1945. About a dozen boats came alongside for that official surrender, taken by Admiral Sir Max Horton in the presence of US, Canadian and Republic of Ireland commanders;[5] the other U-boats arrived over the next several weeks. Eventually all were dispatched to sea and sunk.[6]
The port used to have its own railway yard, under the control of the Londonderry Port & Harbour Commissioner (LPHC). This railway had connections to the other railways in Londonderry; The Great Northern and the Northern Counties Committee, both of which were 5ft3, and thanks to dual gauge, the County Donegal Railways Joint Committee and Londonderry & Lough Swilly Railway, which were 3 ft. Wagons could be shunted across the Foyle by way of the lower deck of the Craigavon Bridge, which was dual gauge. Two of the LPHC locomotives survived into preservation- No. 1, which is at the Ulster Folk & Transport Museum in Cultra, and No. 3, which is owned by the Railway Preservation Society of Ireland at Whitehead.
In July 2003 Londonderry Port installed the Foyle Pontoon in the heart of the city. This is a 200 metres (660 ft) long berthing facility aimed at small boat owners and yachts visiting the city.
Lisahally F.C., which is based at the village of Strathfoyle, was founded by port workers from Lisahally.

Distortions in the Factor Market.Models and Realities
This paper confronts the theory of distortions in the factor market with empirical evidence. It is generally concluded that there would not be much to gain in terms of increased production for the economy as a whole from a technically efficient reallocation of labour and capital between industries. However, distortions in the factor market may be of importance in some sectors of the economy which means that imperfections in the factor market should be of concern for economic policy.

A source close to the situation says that Takoby Cofield, an offensive lineman at Tarboro High, has committed to Duke.
Cofield, who is now 6-foot-5 1/2 and 290 pounds, chose the Blue Devils over offers from East Carolina and Virginia Tech, according to our last conversation with him.
He had been drawing more and more interest in recent weeks, as his game tape and combine results began to spread. He said he had been a North Carolina fan his entire life, but an offer from the Tar Heels apparently never materialized.
More on this later today.

Frequently Asked Questions: Animal Ordering
What is the deadline for submitting animal orders?
The deadline for Tuesday and Wednesday deliveries is noon on Thursday of the previous week. The deadline for Thursday deliveries is Monday at noon. This deadline is necessary to allow LASC enough time to process your order and the vendor enough time to fulfill it. Orders placed after the deadline will be ordered for the next available delivery date for the vendor you are using. If your order is incomplete and we need to request additional information from you, the delivery may be delayed.
Deadlines and delivery dates are subject to availability. These fast turnaround times are generally possible only for common rodent strains at readily available weights/ages. If you are ordering an unusual strain, please plan ahead and place your order well in advance. Though pregnant animals are sometimes available when ordered after the breeding date, we advise you to place your order prior to the breeding date to ensure availability.
A schedule of delivery days and order deadlines for our approved vendors is available on our website here.
Will LASC contact me when my animals are delivered?
Due to the volume of animal orders we process, we are not able to contact researchers to notify them that their animals have been delivered. LASC will contact you only if there is an issue that will result in a delay in the delivery of your animals. If LASC has not contacted you, please expect your animals to arrive at the housing location requested on the requested delivery date. If your order was submitted after the deadline for your requested delivery date, your order will be placed for the next available delivery date for your vendor.
What is the process for making a change to an order that has already been submitted?
If you need to make a change to an order that has already been submitted, please contact the LASC business office at 617-638-4086. We will do our best to accommodate your request. Depending on the nature of the change, you may be asked to resubmit your order. Please be aware that due to the fast turnaround time on animal orders, it may not be possible to make a change if the animals have already shipped.
I am new to the BU Works system. Can LASC help me place my animal orders?
While we will do our best to assist you with your questions, LASC is not able to provide BU Works technical support. For assistance with accessing the system, placing orders, and technical problems please see the list of resources available on the BU Works website here.
I am having trouble placing orders in BU Works. Is there another way to order my animals?
Animal orders for the Boston University School of Medicine and the Charles River Campus must be placed through BU Works. Because purchase orders can only be issued in BU Works, we are no longer able to process paper order forms. Your department is responsible for determining your level of access within BU Works. If you are not able to submit an Internal Service Request, please contact the BU Works Power User for your department to determine who is approved to place orders within your department.
Orders using a Boston Medical Center activity number will be placed using an LASC limit purchase order. LASC will then bill the activity number for the total cost of your order. Please submit a paper order form (available here) with the activity number clearly marked. A paper requisition form is no longer required.
Can I create a shopping cart for an animal order and submit it directly to the vendor?
All animal orders must be placed through LASC. Any animal order submitted directly to the vendor cannot be paid for through proper channels and will not be honored. The policy related to this is available here.
What is the approval process for animal orders?
After your order is submitted to LASC we will create a shopping cart in BU Works. The order will be issued a purchase order number by the purchasing department. The designated approver in your department has final approval of the order before it is submitted to the vendor (many departments have this set to happen automatically).
Where can I find information on availability and pricing for animals that I would like to order?
For information on pricing and availability, please check the vendor's website or contact the vendor directly. Please note that your Internal Service Request will require current pricing information as well as a reasonable estimate of shipping charges. Failure to include accurate information in your ISR may result in a delay in ordering your animals.

Meeting Madiba — An Unlikely Encounter with Nelson Mandela
Mr. Venter's question is a constant thought during these declining days of Nelson Mandela's life, especially today — his 95th birthday. I pray daily for my South African daughter Eliza, husband Jonathan, and their four sons Noah, Aidan, Luke, and Sam, along with the many dear South African friends gathered over the past 30 years. Will they live the on-going dream or in an emerging nightmare?
In 1994, during Bill Clinton's presidency, I had the honor of meeting President Nelson Mandela in a most unexpected way — just two months after his April inauguration as the first democratically-elected President of South Africa.
