The voice of Big Tex for the past 11 years wants his old job back.
Bill Bragg lost the gig voicing the 52-foot tall animatronic cowboy two months ago in a contract dispute. So far, his pleas to the State Fair of Texas to reconsider have fallen on deaf ears.
"I'm not egging it on. I'm not fanning the flames," he said. "I'm just saying a prayer that I will somehow get my job back."
Bragg fired off a letter to City Hall and posted on his Facebook page, asking the mayor of Dallas to intervene.
The mayor's office wrote right back, telling Bragg it's up to the State Fair.
"Big Tex is going to be different. I mean, we're getting a new Big Tex, period," said Paula Blackmon, the mayor's chief of staff.
Big Tex is being redesigned after it burned to the ground in October. The iconic larger-than-life cowboy serves as a symbol and spokesperson for the annual State Fair of Texas. Big Tex's 75-gallon hat, 50-pound belt buckle and slow drawl -- "Howdy, folks!" -- have been greeting fair visitors since 1952. Last year's fair had been celebrating Big Tex's 60th birthday when the structure went up in flames.
The State Fair is standing by its decision not to renew Bragg's contract, saying in a statement that, "The fair is moving forward with the selection of a voice for the upcoming season."
More than 100 people have auditioned to replace Bragg as the next voice of Big Tex. The search is currently down to four finalists.
The State Fair of Texas expects to make a decision the week of June 17. The fair plans to reveal the new voice and the new Big Tex at the same time -- on the first day of the 2013 fair, Sept. 27.

LeahS [Admin]12/13/10
I love roasted red pepper. So, when I was browsing the menu at a local resturant adn saw "Roasted Red Pepper Cream Pasta," I knew that's what I was ordering. They didn't have it that night, of course. A week later, I called the restaurant, and asked if the pasta was available now. No, they answered, they did not have it. Enough of waiting. Why don't I just make the pasta myself?
1 lb penne pasta, cooked according to package directions
2-3 large red peppers, roasted (see directions)
2 Tbsp oil
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic
1 cup heavy cream
1 Tbsp parmesan cheese plus additional for sprinkling
¼ tsp dried basil or fresh
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Place whole bell peppers in oven and roast for 20 minutes, turning once over (the skin of the peppers should blister and burn.) Remove the peppers from the oven and transfer to a plastic bag or a bowl covered with saran wrap. Allow to "sweat" as they cool.
When the peppers are cool enough to handle, remove from the bag. Remove the stem, pith, and seeds. Peel off and discard the outer layer of the peppers.
In a blender or food processor, blend red peppers until smooth.
Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook until the onion is soft. Add blended peppers, salt and pepper. Add heavy cream and bring to a boil. Quickly lower heat. Add Parmesan cheese and basil. Cook until sauce thickens.
Pour sauce over pasta. Top with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.

Immigration hurdle: Obamacare
The flawed rollout of the Affordable Care Act has endangered another of President Barack Obama's top agenda items: Immigration reform.
It's forcing the White House and its allies to confront a basic, but politically potent, criticism. If the government can't build a website, how can it be trusted to correctly process millions of undocumented immigrants and require every employer to verify the status of their workers?
Story Continued Below
The Obamacare struggles and the government shutdown sidetracked White House plans for a fall immigration campaign. And House Republicans have been able to avoid a major political hit for sitting on the Senate-passed bill in part due to their ability to draw attention to Obama's broken promises on health care.
( PHOTOS: Fast for Families immigration march)
Coming into 2013, immigration reform looked promising — Obama and Democrats were pushing ahead, and Republicans wanted to move on after losing the Hispanic vote. But the legislation remains stalled in the House, where Speaker John Boehner has claimed immigration reform is "absolutely not" dead but has yet to say when it would come to the floor.
That the public may be more skeptical of the federal government's capacity to run big programs effectively and efficiently is something conservatives will surely hold up as a reason not to expand the government's footprint well into the future — setting up another hurdle for reform advocates to clear.
"There's a loss of confidence in the government's ability," former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, a Democrat who backs the immigration bill, said at an event sponsored by the public relations firm Edelman this month. "Clearly, the last few months, our experience with Affordable Care Act does not help when you look at other big things like immigration reform."
( WATCH: White House: Working "overtime" to meet Jan. 1 deadline)
The Senate bill would beef up border enforcement, expand the nation's temporary worker program, and create legalization pathways for the estimated 11 million people who are in the country illegally. That may be now too much for Congress to handle, said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), both a lead co-sponsor of the Senate bill and leading Obamacare critic.
"It's going to make it harder to sell big deals," Graham said. "People are now saying, 'So you're gonna do immigration. You're gonna let the same people manage the immigration system that's managed Obamacare?'"
Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck said the rocky Obamacare rollout "validated our warnings against jamming one massive bill that few have read and even fewer fully comprehend."
( Also on POLITICO: Next ACA crisis: Small-business costs?)
"If the Obamacare train wreck has any lesson," Buck said, "it's that big policy challenges should be addressed deliberatively and one step at a time."
Still, President Barack Obama and his allies have yet to adjust their strategy to fit a new reality that politicians on both the right and the left say has taken hold in the debate.
"If people are looking for an excuse not to do the right thing on immigration reform, they can always find an excuse — we've run out of time, or this is hard, or the list goes on and on," Obama said at a news conference last month. "But my working assumption is people should want to do the right thing."
( Also on POLITICO: Obama calls in tech to talk HealthCare.gov, NSA)
His press secretary, Jay Carney, said the real comparison is in the public benefit of Obamacare and immigration.
"These are different systems," Carney said Monday. "I would point to the extraordinary effort that's gone into fixing the problems on HealthCare.gov, acknowledging the shortcomings — the serious, significant shortcomings, taking ownership and responsibility for them and acting to fix the problem. Because in the end — and this would be true of immigration reform as it is of HealthCare.gov or the ACA — the issue isn't in the end how the process is; the process is performed in service of the legislation and the goal. And in this case, in immigration reform, it's in service of a bill that would provide, when implemented, the benefits that we've described and that outside analysts have described."
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said his private conversations with Republicans, as well as Boehner's strike against tea party groups last week over the budget, make him believe that prospects for passage are brightening. Boehner's recent hire of Rebecca Tallent, a former immigration aide to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), has also fueled speculation that he's preparing to make a move on immigration next year, possibly after the Republican primary season.
"I think the chances for immigration reform over the last month or two have only gotten better," Schumer said.
But the clear danger is that conservative Republicans will make it politically difficult for their moderate counterparts to vote for a federal overhaul of the immigration system by raising the Obamacare experience. The ACA is now Exhibit A — a tangible item of evidence — in the argument.

Stir bar dispersive liquid microextraction using magnetic ionic liquids

The combination of different types of extraction techniques is a fascinating and ever evolving field. The combination is usually achieved in a discontinuous manner by which the extract obtained after application of the first extraction is then submitted to the next technique. If the chemical basics of both techniques are sufficiently different, then a selectivity enhancement is achieved. In other cases the extraction efficiency can also be improved by such combinations. The number of approaches that combine two extraction techniques in the same procedure are quite rare. ICECLES based on the combination of stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) and freeze extraction is one of the most recent proposals. This post is dedicated to one of these interesting strategies.
In 2014, Benedé et al. proposed for the first time the so-called stir bar sorptive dispersive microextraction. As with many good ideas, the system was both simple and efficient. It combined the advantages of SBSE and dispersive magnetic solid phase extraction. The extraction scheme is shown in the figure below and it experiments with different stirring rates of the magnetic bar. In the first step, the bar containing the attached magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) is introduced into the sample. The bar is then stirred at a high velocity inducing the detachment of the MNPs which are dispersed into the sample enhancing the active superficial area. The continuous reduction of the stirring velocity induces the re-attachment of the MNPs onto the bar simplifying the final elution step.
The same group in collaboration with Professor Jared Anderson´s group at Iowa State University has already extended this approach to the liquid phase microextraction context using magnetic ionic liquids as solvents. The extraction process follows the same steps as previously described.
Ionic liquids provide a high sorption capacity and their thermal stability makes them compatible with thermal desorption-gas chromatography. This new combination has been tested for the extraction of non-polar UV filters. Enrichment factors in the range from 67-791, similar to those provided by classical SBSE, are achieved. However the new technique is almost 20 times faster than the classical one.

Rafael: Thank you very much for your very nice blog..and for all of the very nice articles you write in sample prep! I would like to add that the marriage of stir bar dispersive liquid microextraction and magnetic ionic liquids came about after I heard Prof. Alberto Chisvert's talk at Extech 2016 in Poland. At the conclusion of his talk, he mentioned his interest in pursuing other magnetic sorbents, such as magnetic ionic liquids. At that time, my group had been working on optimizing the synthesis of hydrophobic magnetic ionic liquids and their use in analytical separations. Upon leaving Torun, a collaboration was born where Alberto and Dr. Juan Luis Benedé used our MILs to develop a very elegant extraction method. This is a great example of how attending conferences allows for open dialog of ideas and the creation of new ideas/collaborations!

Benefits: Revive 'principle of contribution' says Labour
Labour wants to "strengthen the old principle of contribution" in the benefits system, the shadow work and pensions secretary says.
Many people "feel they pay an awful lot more in than they ever get back", Liam Byrne wrote in the Observer.
He also said "people who work and contribute to their community" should get priority in social housing.
He criticised recent tax and welfare changes, but David Cameron told the Sun the moves were about "fairness".
In his article, Mr Byrne criticised the coalition for failing to support "working families and those in real need", insisting that Labour's approach to reforming welfare would be "very different".
Change needed
"Instead of seeking to divide people, we want to ensure everyone plays their part so we can rebuild Britain together," he said.
He continued: "There are lots of people right now who feel they pay an awful lot more in than they ever get back. That should change.
"We should start by letting councils give priority in social housing allocations to those who work and contribute to their community."
BBC political correspondent Carole Walker said Labour had been under pressure to say what it would do to overhaul the welfare system, after criticising government policies.
The party's deputy leader, Harriet Harman, said it was "not surprising" people were concerned about the welfare system and defended Labour's record on welfare reform.
She said the party was looking at wider changes based on the contributory principle as part of its policy review.
She told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show: "We're also, ahead of the general election, putting forward three principles.
"One, that work should pay; secondly, that there should be an obligation to take work; and thirdly, that there should be support through a contributory principle for people putting into the system as well as taking out.
"I think that's the discussion and the debate we're engaging in up to the general election."
She said the results of the review would "come to fruition" in Labour's next manifesto.
Last week, Mr Byrne told the BBC he was looking at helping two groups in particular - working parents and those who are unemployed and over 50.
He said there were many women who had paid into the system but who then did not receive help with childcare to allow them to go back to work.
For those looking for work over the age of 50, he said although some may have paid up to £60,000 more in national insurance than they get out, they were not receiving any extra help to get back into work.
The case of unemployed Mick Philpott, jailed last week for the manslaughter of six of his children in a fire, has led some politicians to comment on whether the state should subsidise large families.
Mr Philpott, who had 17 children, received thousands of pounds a year in child benefit, as well as the income support and wages paid to his wife and mistress.
'Support children'
Asked if there should be a cap on the number of children the state would support through benefits, Ms Harman said: "I don't think that the state should be dictating family size but I do think that the state should support children."
"Rather than trying to encourage women to have children or discourage them from having children, I think it's important to actually support children who are born into a family. But also to make sure women and men are in a position to make proper choices about their families."
Meanwhile, Mr Cameron told the Sun the welfare system had lost its way and benefits had become a "lifestyle choice" for some - causing resentment.
He insisted it was "crazy" certain claimants could have a bigger income on benefits than if they had a job.
"So this month we are making some big changes," he added.
"They are changes that have a simple principle at their heart: we are restoring the fairness that should lie at the very heart of our tax and welfare systems."
This week, a series of changes to benefits and taxes have come into force.
Most tax credits and working age benefits are being increased by 1% - below the rate of inflation - while pensioners are getting a larger rise in the state pension, which is going up by 2.5% to £110 a week.
On Saturday, the personal allowance - which is the amount that most people can earn before they pay income tax - rose to £9,440.
And the top rate of income tax was also reduced from 50p in the pound to 45p for people with incomes of more than £150,000.
Also from 6 April, the amount pensioners can earn without paying tax will no longer rise with inflation, giving rise to accusations of a "granny tax".

A Beginner's Guide to Installing Puppy
The following article is
a step-by-step manual for setting up Puppy on a hard drive. Instead, it discusses the various decisions that a user must make
starting the installation process.
If you have an old computer that you want to completely erase and restore with Puppy, read
If you want to dual-boot with Windows, one strategy is described
Many users who discover Puppy eventually want to install it to their hard drives instead of using the Live CD. This will often involve dual-booting the computer along with Windows. Puppy has an installer program located in its Setup menu but the various options can be confusing. This article discusses the decisions you need to make before attempting the installation. If you plan to scrap Windows entirely and set up a dedicated Puppy machine, you will also find useful information here.
Open the Live CD and look at the contents. You will see that the complete operating system is contained in just three compressed files. They are vmlinuz, initrd.gz and pupxxx.sfs. (Older versions of Puppy also used a file named zdrvxxx.sfs.) The first two files contain the code that Puppy uses to get itself started. The third file contains the application software like word processors and web browsers.
Decision #1
What kind of installation method will you choose? There are two choices. A traditional full install extracts all the individual files from the three core files on the CD and copies them to your hard drive. You end up with many files and folders, like you have in a Windows setup.
A frugal install just copies the three files from the CD to your hard drive as they are. Each method has its own advantages, which we won't discuss now. For beginners, a frugal install is easiest - simply because it duplicates the way that the Live CD works. (A more detailed comparison of full versus frugal is provided at the end of the article.)
The exception to the above rule is an old computer with limited memory (64 MB or less). It will work better with a full install. On the other hand, you may be disappointed with Puppy's performance on such a low-end machine.
Decision #2
Where will you install the files on your computer? A hard drive can be split into several independent regions called partitions. Clearly, the safest place to install Puppy is in its own partition where it can never touch your Windows setup. However, this involves shrinking your Windows partition to provide the necessary space. Most newcomers are nervous about doing this. Tools like the
Parted Magic Live CD
can reliably repartition your hard drive. Or you can use the Gparted program on the Puppy Live CD. But there are risks, especially if your Windows installation has some underlying corruption. And because there is a learning curve to using a partitioning program, you might not want to practice on your best Windows machine. Also, see the notes at the end.
You can use a separate partition to hold either a full or frugal install. A few GB of space will be plenty for a frugal setup. You must also decide how to format it. For a frugal install, the ext2 filesystem will be fine.
Unless your machine has lots of memory (512 MB or more), you should also consider making a swap partition. A good rule of thumb would be to add enough swap to bring your total memory up to 512 MB. You can use the Linux "free" command to check how much memory you have in play.
If you are not comfortable repartitioning your hard drive, Puppy has an alternative. Stay with one partition, do a frugal install and put the Puppy files inside Windows. For example, the first core file would then become c:\vmlinuz. This is known as a "coexist" install.
In the old days of Windows 98 and FAT32, a coexist setup was the easiest method for beginners. However, since NTFS has become the standard filesystem format for Windows, this may no longer be true. There are some reports that if Puppy crashes, it can also damage Windows. But many users are running Puppy this way without incident. So you need to choose between two small risks - corrupting Windows during a drive repartition or corrupting it as a side effect of Puppy failing.
Decision #3
How do you want your computer to boot? When your machine powers up, it needs to select one of its partitions from which to load an operating system. This requires a bit of code called a bootloader, located at the root of your hard drive in the Master Boot Record.
All hard drives that have Windows installed come with a standard block of code in their MBR. If this code gets altered, Windows may refuse to boot even though its actual files are OK. This can be a frightening situation, but is easy to repair. Do some research on the WinXP Recovery Console and its "fixmbr" command. Also look
for the "fixmbr" download. Vista users should read
This is a crucial issue because Puppy uses its own bootloader, GRUB. You have to pick one or the other as the primary bootloader for your computer.
Now for the decision. Do you want to continue using Windows as the primary bootloader? If so, you will need to modify Windows so it presents a startup menu that includes Puppy as one of the options. The Puppy Universal Installer (PUI) cannot set this up because you need to make the changes from inside Windows. There is an on-line tutorial called the Lin'N'Win Project that will do the job. Find it
Or do you want Puppy to be the primary bootloader? This will involve installing GRUB, which Puppy can do automatically. Windows will now run as an option from the GRUB boot menu. However, because GRUB is a Linux product, this will only work if you have installed Puppy into its own partition. And the partition must be formatted using a Linux-compatible filesystem such as ext2.
The PUI will refuse to install GRUB in a FAT or NTFS partition, because it assumes that the partition contains Windows. Watch for the cryptic error message "This partition is not Linux".
Now we get to the MBR issue. The quickest out-of-the-box solution is to install GRUB on the MBR of your hard drive. The PUI will warn you about the dangers. But this is only an issue if you want to return your machine to a Windows-only setup in the future. In which case, you would simply run the "fixmbr" procedure.
In a multi-partition setup, you should NEVER have to reinstall Windows just because there was a problem with Puppy. Unless you did something really stupid.
At this point, a short GRUB tutorial might be helpful. GRUB has two parts - stage1 and stage2. Stage1 is the small block of boot code that gets written onto the MBR. Stage2 is the collection of support files that are stored in the folder /boot/grub on the Linux partition. That is also where the GRUB menu file, menu.lst, is located.
This should explain what can go wrong with a dual-boot system. Suppose that your Linux install gets damaged or you decide to delete it completely. If your /boot/grub folder has disappeared, the stage1 code in the MBR won't be able to find its stage2 files. Your computer will refuse to boot, even to Windows. But now you know how to fix this by restoring the MBR.
If you are still nervous about changing your MBR, you can modify the Lin'n'Win technique to boot Puppy off a different partition. Or you can use the method described
. Or you can do the frugal install manually and use a
boot CD
to launch it. In that case, you could even put Puppy in a logical FAT partition which would be sharable with Windows. Or you could avoid the entire issue by installing Puppy onto a USB flash drive.
Full versus Frugal
When you do a full install, all of the data in the core Puppy files is extracted from the CD into a filesystem on your hard drive. Any software you install or files you save are added to the filesystem, so the total number of files and folders gradually increases.
In a frugal install, Puppy creates another file named pup_save.2fs. When you boot up, the filesystem stored in the core Puppy files is loaded into memory, but remains read-only. The pupsave file is used to hold all the new content you add. These two are merged together so it appears that you are working with a single filesystem. You get the effect of a full install while Puppy is running, but all you actually see on your hard drive are the core files and the pupsave.
The main advantage of a frugal install is that you always boot with pristine copies of the core Puppy files. If your install gets corrupted, it's just a matter of restoring the single pupsave file from a backup copy.
But what if your pupsave file gets filled up? Puppy has a utility for increasing its size. Or you can store content on your hard drive outside of the savefile, like you would with a full install.
Another advantage is the ability to put a frugal install almost anywhere. You can even stick it inside a full install of Puppy or another Linux. Or you can have multiple frugal installs in the same partition.
Puppy and Other Linux Partitioning Tools
There are certain advantages to using a stand alone product like the Parted Magic CD to reformat a drive. For example, it will contain the latest NTFS drivers if you need to shrink Windows. However this tool, or the partitioning programs in some other Linux's, can have a major side effect on Puppy. Read
this thread
regarding inode sizes in ext partitions.
Vista, Windows 7 and Linux
There have been reports that Vista can be corrupted if a user tries to shrink the Windows partition using Linux tools. A safer procedure is to use Vista's own Disk Management tool, then create the new partitions using Linux. If you want to keep Vista as the primary bootloader, look at
Easy BCD

Excellent initiative. Lobster's wikka-wakka publication makes it even more accessible.
Comment: surely it would be useful to mention also the USB pendrive alternative, that reduces the risk of messing up an existing Windows OS (on hard disk) to nearly zero.
Actually I used your (rcrsn51's) pup2usb of thread 16950
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

This is a very good idea.
Now all we need to do is get the file in the Puppy ISO and have it pretty easily found, perhaps displayed as part of the Universal Installer?
Thanks to rcrsn51 for writing and Lobster for hosting.

Just a couple of comments for someone to add.
If playing around with partitions/repartitioning - make a small swap partition at the same time.
If intending to adopt the FULL installation option, the new partition needs to be formatted before running the PUI.
Probably also mention somewhere about using pfix=ram boot parameter.
Maybe it isn't made entirely clear that a FULL install actually decompresses the files (only that the word 'compress' wasn't invoked - something that will be well understood by SuperStor/Doublespace refugees).
Possibly scope for a brief outline of the advantages and disadvantages of FULL & FRUGAL based on available resources and operator intentions?

This post is meant to be accepted with some humour, but not too much.
The Guide presumes Windows exists and the person installing Puppy Linux wants to keep Microsoft Windows.
The Guide fortunately does not (and should not) presume that Microsoft Windows is still functioning well.
While the Guide cannot cover every situation, the funny part to me is the truth that most people who install Puppy Linux really do value their Microsoft Windows installation and want to keep and preserve it.
I suppose the best place to install Puppy is where Windows was, before you formatted that partition as a Linux partition.

Yes, good idea.
Can I make a suggestion about the layout - to divide the information up and include headings and number the options? For example, if you have headings "Decision 1 - What kind of installation method to choose", etc. then a reader who might already know what method they want (or whatever) can jump to the next heading.
If there are additional headings such as "what you need to know before starting" "what are the options" "potential problems" "alternatives" (or whatever) then it makes it more digestible.
If the options are numbered, it makes it easy to see that there is a finite number (I think that it can be overwhelming as a newbie to be confronted with a lot of info/options) and also helps someone who comes back to the guide after going off to read up on partitioning (or whatever they might need more background on) to easily return to an option they had read previously.

I wouldn't necessarily presume that they *want* to keep M$W, more a question of retaining a lifetimes' accumulation of info, contacts, data that simply cannot be usefully be transferred to another OS. It's that old Irish joke again about from whence one starts out....

This has been brought up a couple of times as a possibility, but I don't understand what the implications are. I want to install Puppy on a computer that has no functioning Windows OS. It's there, somewhere, but it won't boot up. What do I need to do differently to get Puppy to load up on an essentially blank HD?

The Snell Memorial Foundation has been actively conducting and supporting research to understand the nature and severity of head and brain injury and to increase head impact protection in such activities as bicycling, motorcycling, racing and other non-motorized recreational activities. Basic studies of injury mechanism and protection, as well as field research related to injury severity and causation have been undertaken.
Research support is world-wide, extending from bicyclist injuries in China, to basic modeling and design of an improved anthropomorphic dummy head and neck conducted in the Netherlands, and Germany. Other studies by United States universities, medical and injury prevention centers, and private research organizations have involved basic research in biomechanics and head injury epidemiology, 3-D child head anthropometry, helmet fit research, and seat belt restraining design effects on the body.
In progress are long term studies of the sequelae of head injury in young bicyclists, evaluation of helmet materials, and basic head and brain biomechanics and injury mechanisms. In-house studies are also part of this over all program. The following is a list of research projects completed or in progress.

A pelvic
abscess may be drained by needle aspiration. A needle
is inserted through the abdominal or vaginal wall into the abscess. The fluid
filling the abscess is drawn out (aspirated) with a syringe connected to the
needle. A pelvic
ultrasound or a
computed tomography (CT) scan is used to guide the
needle into the abscess. A tube (catheter) may be left in for a few days to
allow the abscess to drain completely.
Aspiration of an abscess may be done with a
local or general anesthesia. You may go home the same
day, unless more treatment is needed or you are very ill.
Aspiration may be considered when the abscess:
If your health professional recommends aspiration, ask about abscess
recurrence rates and other risks of the procedure.

Tomato lovers, have we got plants for you! With the huge variety of tomatoes we have down at Garden Supply, from teeny-tiny cherries to grandiose Beefsteaks and everything in between, there is sure to be something for every gardener and culinary taste out there. We have all your popular favorites, as well as harder to find heirlooms, in a large range of sizes, shapes, and colors.
Amish Paste, Moonglow, Beefsteak, Hungarian Heart, Kelloggs Breakfast, Cherokee, Pineapple Hawaiian, Mexico Midget, Celebrity, Lemon Boy, 'Juliet Hybrid', Better Boy, Roma, Patio, German Johnson, Grape, and Sweet 100s..we've got them all down at the garden center.
We also have everything you'll need to grow bigger, more abundant tomato plants from potting soils, soil amender, compost and mulch to slow release tomato fertilizer to several problem-solving planting containers for those with little or no yard space.
The Bosmere Tomato Planter Bag is ideal for decks, patios, and balconies. No need for a garden. No digging required! The planter can hold 1 or 2 plants, depending on type and variety of tomato chosen.
Another unique planting option is the Topsy Turvy Upside Down Tomato Planter, which allows you to grow delicious vegetables right outside your door. The planter hangs on decks, balconies or patios and eliminates the need for weeding, caging and staking. With the Topsy Turvy, you can grow fresh tomatoes in 3 easy steps:
1. Put the plants into the ports 2. Put soil in the bag 3. Add water in the top
I was so curious about the idea of this unusual growing method, that I've decided to try the Topsy Turvy Tomato Planter myself. Topsy Turvy's statement that this planter will solve nearly every problem associated with tomato culture sounds too good to not give a try. "No more soil to prepare, holes to dig, cages, stakes, typing up, wedding, no more on-your-knees work and no more ground animals, insects, fungus, bacteria or nematodes". By golly, I'm excited to see how it works!
I've decided to try two planters with two different varieties of tomato. For my experiment, I've chosen a smaller species, the Grape tomato, as well as a medium-sized grower, the Patio tomato. The Topsy Turvy planter comes with a helpful gardening tips guide and step-by-step instructions. I was able to quickly and easily set up the planters on my own.
Over the next few months, I'll share with you my results and observations utilizing this unusual growing planter. I do have to admit to being charmed so far. A few tips I can pass along from the installation stage are to be sure to hang your planter from a very secure location, as the bag becomes quite heavy once the soil is added. Also, find a small plant to get started, preferably one in a 6-pack cell, as the bottom insertion opening of the planter is not very wide. I had to manipulate my 4" potted tomatoes to get them to fit through, which can cause damage to the fragile plant if you're not careful.
The Topsy Turvy also grows other vegetables, such as bell peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, eggplants, and more. Look for our Topsy Turvy strawberry planter and hot pepper planter, as well as the tomato planter, in the Greenhouse.
Besides tomatoes, we have quite a few other summer growing vegetables in stock including yellow squash, sweet bell peppers, 'long red slim' cayenne peppers, red sweet peppers, 'sweet banana' peppers, and jalapenos.
And we also have received an absolutely gorgeous shipment of sweet basil.
I'm heading back to the garden center for a couple of these beauties today! ;)
Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope to see you all down at Garden Supply soon, and I'll catch you back here tomorrow for more snippets from the garden.

How an Obama pool stop went viral
I didn't set out to become Twitter famous in Saudi Arabia.
As a senior White House reporter for POLITICO, I've traveled all over the country and the world with President Barack Obama, touching down in Air Force One on one unremarkable tarmac after another to record his arrival. I seldom find them noteworthy — and, as an infrequent tweeter, rarely ever share-worthy.
Story Continued Below
But Riyadh was different. A stunning display of Saudi guards awaited Obama at the airport Friday in perfect formation, swords in hand and scarves on their head. So I did something I don't normally do: I tweeted the photos.
( Also on POLITICO: Obama's overseas trip: 5 takeaways)
And by the time I departed Saudi Arabia for the United States less than 24 hours later, my Twitter follower count had more than quadrupled — from just 3,500 to more than 15,000.
The story of how that happened spotlights the powerful, disruptive force of Twitter in a country that sharply restricts news of its royal family and the government.
My stream of mediocre iPhone photos — mostly taken at King Abdullah's desert retreat — managed to captivate, anger and surprise the country's vast Twitter community. Al-Arabiya did a piece Saturday on my "famous" feed, local newspapers picked up the photos, reporters have attempted to interview me, and the tweets demanding more images kept rolling in Sunday.
( WATCH: POLITICO's Carrie Budoff Brown reports from Europe)
It shouldn't have been a surprise. Use of the social network in Saudi Arabia has exploded since the Arab Spring, making that country the fastest-growing market in the world, according to GlobalWebIndex, a marketing research firm. It's also the top global market in terms of time spent on mobile devices, as 60 percent of users access the internet through phones or tablets rather than PCs.
After several years of relative online freedom, the Saudi government has increased its control over the social network, which has become a popular platform for dissent. People have been jailed, intimidated and harassed for using Twitter to criticize the government and royal family.
But I didn't fully realize any of that as Marine One and a helicopter carrying a pool of White House reporters and photographers swept across the desert towards Abdullah's outpost for his meeting with Obama.
( Also on POLITICO: Walker goes broad on foreign policy)
We flew for 30 minutes from the airport in Riyadh over dry terrain, seeing nothing for miles but the occasional truck rumbling over the dusty ground, a few wandering camels and small isolated clusters of rickety houses.
Then, off in the distance, there was greenery — verdant trees and lush grass — and a compound of buildings and tents that matched the color of sand. It reminded me of the many times we flew into Las Vegas during the 2008 presidential campaign, the lights and glitzy hotels so jarring against the desert landscape.
As soon as the helicopter landed, the press rushed out of the back of it and across the blacktop to get into position for the president's arrival — and the sandstorm created by the whirling blades of Marine One.
These kinds of photo opportunities are usually pretty uneventful — but there was immediately something chaotic about this one. Guards circled us, sometimes blocking our view of Obama as he was greeted by the Saudi delegation and walked several hundred feet to Abdullah's retreat.
At one point, the guards tried to keep us from getting close to the entrance and following Obama's movement into the building. It prompted Josh Lipsky, a veteran advance staffer for the White House, to repeatedly yell at the guards that this wasn't the agreement they had negotiated, and that the U.S. press would move forward despite their objections.
Lipsky prevailed.
We piled through the hulking front door and just kept walking, minimizing the opportunity for the Saudi handlers to throw up more obstacles.
What we found inside was something straight off a movie set. Tall bowls with wrapped chocolates stacked in precise rows. Fresh flowers on every coffee table. A massive gold clock the size of an armoire. Satin upholstery, crystal chandeliers, oriental rugs and luxurious couches with perfectly placed pillows. Photos of the king hung on the walls, including one of him almost touching noses with a horse.

The power of the browser has grown substantially in the last ten years. We now use the Web to multi-task the activities we juggle every day, like vacation plans, purchases, sharing pictures, listening to music, reading email, and writing a blog post.
It's hard to keep everything straight with dozens of tabs all crammed into a little strip along the top of your browser. Your tab with a search to find a pizza parlor gets mixed up with your tabs on your favorite band. Often, it's easier to open a new tab than to try to find the open tab you already have. Worse, how many of us keep tabs open as reminders of something we want to do or read later? We're all suffering from infoguilt.
We need a way to organize browsing, to see all of our tabs at once, and focus on the task at hand. In short, we need a way to get back control of our online lives.
Enter: Tab Candy.

Mozilla Unblocks Microsoft's Firefox Plugin
An entry on Microsoft's Security Research & Defense blog goes into the matter further. The bottom line: Firefox users should apply MS09-054, even though it's labeled as an update for IE.
After receiving the same clarification from Microsoft, Mozilla has removed the Microsoft code from the blocklist. They are working on a way to allow users to override such blocking in the future. Clearly they got some complaints.
The Microsoft advisory now makes the following statements:
- Firefox users who are running the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) plug-in and do not have it disabled should also apply this security update.
- If I use Firefox, which Internet Explorer update do I need to install?
If a computer system is configured for Automatic Update, the correct update will be downloaded and made available for installation depending on the Automatic Update configuration. In the event that a computer system is not configured for Automatic Update, users should verify which version of the Windows operating system and Internet Explorer is on their system and download the appropriate update.
- If I install this security update, do I need to disable the Windows Presentation Foundation Plug-in in Firefox to be protected from this vulnerability?
No. Customers who have installed the security updates associated with this security bulletin are protected from this vulnerability.
- If I have not yet applied this security update, how do I disable the Windows Presentation Foundation plug-in in Firefox?
If you have not yet applied this update, you can disable the Windows Presentation Foundation plug-in in Firefox to block this vulnerability. To do this, launch the Firefox browser, select the Tools pull-down menu, and then click Add-ons. Select the Plugins icon at the top of the Add-ons window. In the list of Plugins, select Windows Presentation Foundation 3.5.30729.1 and click Disable.
- If I uninstall the .NET Framework Assistant extension, does it disable or remove the Windows Presentation Foundation plug-in?
If the .NET Framework Assistant extension is uninstalled it does not disable or remove the Windows Presentation Foundation plug-in. The .NET Framework Assistant and Windows Presentation Foundation plug-in are controlled through different screens in the Firefox Add-ons management window.
The initial version of the advisory didn't mention Firefox at all which created a problem for Mozilla. Concerned that Firefox users wouldn't feel the need to apply the update, even though it was labeled "Critical," Mozilla decided to block the use of two Microsoft add-ons through their blocklisting mechanism. The fact that these add-ons installed on users' systems without notice during installs of related Microsoft software probably figured into this decision. On the other hand, such quiet installed of Firefox add-ons are not uncommon, but Mozilla disabling them is.
The status of the issue this morning indicates that it was, at heart, a miscommunication.

Stored pictures by the "New picture" dialog window are ordered in the table in a "List of pictures". The "List of pictures" dialog window is opened using the button on the vertical control bar "Outputs". The table of the list of pictures contains the picture name and description, the mode in which it was created and stage of construction or the analysis number.
Individual pictures can be edited using the "Modify" button, which opens the "Edit picture" dialog window (this window corresponds to the "New picture" dialog window both in the way it looks and the way it functions).
These pictures can be printed out from the window by pressing the "Print" button that opens a dialog window for printing and exporting desktop view.

Build Green with Green Building Blocks
Perhaps you're building a new home, or you're environmentally conscious and looking to make your existing house a greener place to be. Maybe you just want to save some money on your energy costs and consumption. If any of those descriptions match you at all, Green Building Blocks can help. The site has listings of businesses, architects, home improvement companies, and more that will help you build that addition you've been planning in the greenest way possible using sustainable resources, and keep your green-building costs down while boosting your energy savings returns. If you're looking to give your house an energy-saving (and money-saving) makeover, the site can get you in touch with the people who can help you make your building project as environmentally friendly as possible, or help turn your drafty, un-insulated mess into a mean, green, energy-saving machine.
Additionally, if you own a business that prides itself on environmentally-friendly building practices, or if you're an architect looking to show off your energy-saving home designs, you can list yourself in the Green Building Blocks directory so people looking for your services can find you. Green Building Blocks also contains information on a world of home projects, like improving indoor air quality in your home, buying the right size equipment for home heating and cooling, and how to properly insulate crawl spaces and basements to save money on energy and use less of it overall. There are also sections for ideas and how-tos to save energy and make your home more environmentally friendly, and a list of national programs that certify green building projects and appliances. Also, the site lists resources, green products, and government programs that will help offset the cost of some environmentally friendly appliances and projects and provide incentives. As you can see, the site if full of useful information, and dedicated to helping people save money, protect the environment, and reduce energy consumption. To me, that's a win-win.

Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Thad Cochran (R-MS), 80, is resigning April 1. House Appropriations Chairman Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-NJ) is retiring at the end of this congressional session. Both "are set up for a bountiful swan song" as they look to secure money for their home-state priorities in this omnibus funding bill, Roll Call reports.
For Cochran, that includes "a massive and controversial Mississippi River flood control plant that was killed off a decade ago by President George W. Bush's EPA, and money to keep Pascagoula shipyards in the hunt for a contract worth up to $3 billion to build the first new polar icebreakers in four decades," Roll Call's Kellie Mejdrich writes.
For Frelinghuysen, it means trying to ensure some $900 million is included for the $30 billion Gateway Program of rail and other infrastructure projects vital to New York, New Jersey and the Northeast corridor as well as a $354 million increase for Superfund cleanup sites and $300 million more for NIH cancer research, part of which would flow to New Jersey's Rutgers Cancer Institute.

Hey everyone, last week was Negroni Week! Did you miss it? Sorry about that. I probably should have warned you ahead of time.
I'll strive to do better.
Anyway, just so you aren't surprised next year, Negroni Week is an annual affair sponsored by Imbibe Magazine and Campari. It's also a charity drive wherein each participating bar gives some portion of their hash tagged Negroni menus to a charity of their choosing. All of that is of possibly arguable value, I suppose, but I like it because it encourages my favorite bars to fill a menu with Negroni-based concoctions. It also encourages more people to try bitter cocktails. In my book, that is A-OK!
Unlike last year, I didn't spend Negroni Week drinking Negronis on my couch. I actually ventured out and sampled the offerings of trained professionals! I even did the utterly unheard of and went out after work on a Monday to go to a bar in Denver that was kicking off the week by breaking a record for world's largest barrel aged Negroni. I even talked to a couple people. Yes, with MY FACE!
Shenanigans aside, it was a great opportunity to sample the creativity of the bartending talent pool. There were interesting gins. There were interesting amari. This one had a vermouth never seen before in these parts. That one had a brand new Campari alternative... Well, no. None of them had that.
The whole party is sponsored by Campari after all.
But the thing is, there are some brand new Campari alternatives that everyone really should check out.
First, from right here in my home town of Denver, Colorado, there is Leopold Bros. new Aperitivo. This stuff is weird! I'm pretty sure the thing that give me a kick when I'm tasting it is the sarsaparilla root that is added to the mix, but that's really only a guess on my part. I went to the distillery to hear the master distiller, Todd Leopold, talk about it, and I learned a ton. Mostly I learned I have a much better head for mixing booze than I ever would for producing it. He's a smart, smart dude, and he makes really unique products. I love the Aperitivo more in a Boulevardier than I do in a Negroni. Still, if you get the right gin and vermouth, you can mix a real winner.
Next there are a pair of bottles coming from Contratto, and Italian wine maker that I have mostly known previously for their vermouths (which I've honestly considered to be basically average). With their Bitter and Aperitif, though, they are taking Campari and Aperol each on head to head. They come in at a price point similar to their counterparts, have great flavors, and are colored and flavored naturally. Oh, and they come in liter bottles! The Aperitif is pretty sweet, but I think it has great nuance behind the sweetness. The Bitter is what I've been using for my Negronis lately. It's a little bit softer than Campari and can be beat up a bit by the other ingredients (or by too much dilution especially), but I just love it.
OK, how about a recipe? Some of you are probably here for the recipes, right?
The Radled Sharoni
Yes, that is probably the worst cocktail name ever. Please feel free to reply with alternatives that are not so abysmal.
Name notwithstanding, this is a pretty nice little drink I made up the other day with inspiration from a few sources:
- Stiegl Radler, which combines german beer and grapefruit soda to produce what may very well be the the drink of the summer for me. At least the idea of "radler" beers has me pretty excited.
- A sherry-based Negroni variant on the Negroni Week menu at my favorite Denver haunt, RiNo Yacht Club.
- The classic Negroni Sbagliato.
- 1½ oz Fino Sherry
- 1 oz Leopold Bros. Aperitivo
- 1 oz Sweet Vermouth
- ½ oz Dry Curaçao
- Build in a rocks glass.
- Add crushed ice.
- Top with San Pellegrino Pompelmo (Grapefruit) soda.
This one comes out tart and refreshing. You won't want a bucket of it, but it's got some really fun things going on.
