¡Viva México! Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner a la Mexicana
It's that time of year again—Mexican Independence Day, September 16! It may be chilly out today, but it's perfect weather to wander the neighborhood for a full day of food, Mexican-style. And in Queens, there's a lot to find.
Let's start with breakfast. A colorful and filling start to the day is some sweet pan mexicano and a hot cup of champurrado. The concha (or shell) is always a favorite. Sweet, porous, and somewhat dry, this bread is meant to be dipped into coffee, hot chocolate, or any other warm drink of your choice. The name comes from the pattern piped on top of the bread, the sweetened lard (or shortening) in a shell shape. These extra large versions of the bread can be found at Tulcingo Bakery for $1.00 each. Champurrado is a type of atole, or masa-based drink, flavored with chocolate and cinnamon. The masa makes the mixture thick and hearty, with a slight corn flavor, and it's sweetened with the cone of Mexican brown sugar called piloncillo. Many of the ladies selling tamales in the mornings have thermoses full of champurrado, or arroz con leche, for $1.00 a cup.

On to lunch. Tacos are always a delicious, fast, and cheap option; but how about freshly-made quesadillas with uniquely Mexican ingredients? At Quesadillas Jazz, a cart on the corner of Baxter and 82nd Street, they make their quesadillas ($2.50 each) from fresh masa. After pressing the balls of masa flat, placing them on the griddle, then adding cheese and the filling of your choice, they fold the large tortilla over, and top it with lettuce, cream, cheese, and salsa verde, roja, or both. Huitlacoche is the perfect filling to order on Independence Day—very Mexican. If you haven't tried it before, the fungus that grows on ears of corn tastes much better than it sounds, mushroom-y and earthy, but with the sweetness of corn, it's delicious folded into warm tortillas.
Another fun filling is chorizo con papas, spicy sausage with soft chunks of potatoes. The potatoes soak up all of the flavor, as well as the bright red color, of the chorizo. And as always, the toppings add texture and flavor: crunch and creaminess, salt and spice. Wash it all down with a bottle of cold tamarind soda ($2.00), refreshing, sweet, and slightly sour.

At Guadalajara de Noche there's a fun dinner special, served in the very Mexican molcajete, the mortar and pestle carved from volcanic rock, that was traditionally used to make salsas and such in the pre-blender era. The molcajete de carne (15.00) is exactly what it says it is—a molcajete filled with meat. The pig-shaped rock is piled artistically with a thin slice of grilled steak, a butterflied chicken breast, a spicy split chorizo, a grilled block of white, melty cheese, and a griddled nopal, or cactus paddle. At the bottom of this meat festival is a warm and very spicy salsa ranchera, a tomato-based sauce. Served with warm tortillas, rice, beans, and a small ramekin of the pungent herb papalo for freshness, it's a celebration in a very heavy bowl. Add a light beer, like Modelo Especial, or an agua fresca, horchata to cool you down.

Color, Race and Renaissance
The new Walters Art Museum show, Revealing the African Presence in Renaissance Europe, is worth a trip to Baltimore. It isn't a huge exhibition, and much of what is on display offers more intellectual interest than pure aesthetic delight. But the history is fascinating, the detective work engaging, and you get the sense that there's a more-than-ample kernel here for a major show sometime in the future. I recommend it in today's Washington Post.

good test, good review
The Kinesis Racelite TK3 is a bike that's truly greater than the sum of its parts, a proper race bike for all conditions that's just as at home on the commute, the chaingang or trundling round the lanes.
Phrases like 'power bulged top tube' and 'tapered carbon monocoque fork' are normally seen in the marketing blurb of the latest handbuilt carbon superbike - not aluminium steeds designed for mudguards and 28mm tyre clearance. The Kinesis is a little different though.
Just because its snowing outside doesn't mean those racing aspirations have gone into hibernation. What you need is a bike that can be ridden hard in your race position regardless of the conditions, something like the TK3.
The frame is manufactured using Kinesium tubing, an enhanced 6000 series alloy developed by Kinesis's engineers and built into a frame 25% stronger than a 6061 alloy frame with comparative weight. The first thing your eyes are drawn to is that bulging top tube as it leaves the head tube, travelling back about a third of the length. As you can imagine it's there for stiffness, resisting the forces from the front end under hard efforts and a by-product is a larger weld area at the head tube.
Tapered head tubes continue their march for domination (Genesis have also followed this route on the recently reviewed Equilibrium Ti) and as usual we've got a 1.5' at the bottom shrinking to 1.25' at the top of the 150mm tube.
The down tube ovalises as it travels towards the BB shell, maximising the weld area again in that quest for power transfer. Out the other side come the oversize chainstays, curving out to the dropouts in a gentle arc; there isn't going to be much flex here once the hammer goes down.
The seatstays have an hourglass profile, a well used tactic to bring some damping to what could otherwise harsh frame. A full set of rack and mudguard mounts are just what you want on a winter steed plus the mech hanger is replaceable, a must as your chances of decking are going to increase in wet and greasy conditions.
Tracer 1.5 - it sounds more like a fighter plane than a fork but it certainly looks like it means business. Full UD carbon fibre with a monocoque construction, on a winter bike? Yes please. The fork legs are curved ever so slightly inwards, mimicking the hourglass seatstays for vibration damping. Mudguard eyelets are included and with the use of deep drop brake callipers there is clearance for larger volume tyres.
Our test bike is the full bike option but you can also go for the frame and fork only which includes the seat clamp and tapered headset all for £549.99. For £1169 you can have this build, except with Freedom tyres rather than the Kendas you see here.
What about the colour? I like it but my riding buddies were split 50/50 on the bright blue. I think it lifts the mood as you head out for yet another commute or training ride in the pouring rain or fog. There is a metallic grey option though if that's more your cup of tea. The paint job, as always with Kinesis frames is beautiful, a decent thick coat along with smooth welds gives a look of a frame costing twice as much. Little touches like the engraved bulge on the top tube increases strokability too.
It's a common sense build, predominantly Tiagra 10spd for the gear shifting duties with just the chainset being supplied by FSA in the guise of their Vero compact. FSA also supply the bar and stem while Shimano is on board for the wheels, the solid and dependable R501's. Kinesis's own brand seatpost and saddle finish things off along with Tektro brakes and full chromoplastic mudguards. Okay it's not exactly exciting or lightweight (the full bike comes in at 9.72kg or 21.4lb) but dependable and will stand up to the worst the weather can chuck at it.
Looking over the geometry it shows that our 54cm frame has a 55.6cm top tube, a good 10-15mm longer than you'd expect but the extra stretch does put you in a nice low position and don't forget the TK3 is all about performance. Angles, seat and head are 73.5° giving a good balance of lively handling and predictability while the 100.6cm wheelbase gives a stable platform on iffy road surfaces.
As soon as the pedals are in motion you realise the Kinesis is more than just a winter trainer, it's literally a race bike that just happens to take proper mudguards and is carrying a little bit of excess weight. The handling is quick and gives huge amounts of feedback allowing you to really push on at a fair lick even on wet roads. You know where you are with it, how much you can lean, what grip you've got, all this information comes back through the bars and saddle allowing you to make micro changes maintaining speed and fluidity in a group.
Whether you think its necessary or not that tapered headtube makes for a very stiff front end. You'll notice it most on twisting descents as you load it up the front end to change direction. The TK3 is brilliantly balanced giving you huge confidence in its ability. The Tektro R539 brakes work really well grabbing hold of the rim, scrubbing off speed quickly and once again that front end is unflustered under heavy braking.
The TK3 is much more comfortable than I expected. Oversized alloy tubing normally means a harsh ride but those hourglass seatstays and fork legs are obviously doing as they're designed to do. Five to six hour rides are completed in relative comfort thanks to the frame and the bit of extra give of the 25mm tyres.
While it's a joy to ride hard you don't have to be giving it the full beans all of the time to enjoy the ride. Thanks to that comfort I mentioned you can happily sit up a bit and just enjoy the scenery. The ride is still as engaging and you can cover miles and miles without realising it.
The Tiagra shifting is consistent, if a little vague but always stands up to plenty of abuse from the elements. Moving to 10spd doesn't seem to have affected shifting with a dirty chain anymore than the 9spd did. A decent spread of gears will get you up the majority of climbs in the saddle and if you do have to stand the frame remains stiff beneath you - so you feel as though you're making rapid progress even if in reality you aren't.
The R501 wheels take all that back lanes and potholes can throw at them, remaining true and smooth running. They are heavy but it's a compromise worth making for longevity on this type of bike. Acceleration from a standing start takes a bit of effort but once rolling increasing speed isn't an issue. Thankfully the Kenda tyres won't be coming on the production models as they certainly don't bring anything to the ride. Grip is okay but they puncture easily and give a pretty dead ride.
The TK3 has become the bike to grab out of the shed at the moment, regardless of the weather or if I'm commuting, out on a club run or going for a long base miler. To call the TK3 just a winter bike does it a disservice as it is a proper all rounder that can be used year round, rain or shine to get the miles in on.
I did suffer a bit from lower back pain due to the stretched out position but thats more down to a few too many car/bike interactions and resulting injuries.
I'd just drop a size if I was buying and run plenty of seatpost. With regards to the price it's well specced for the cash with a lot of the budget going into the frame - which means its ripe for upgrades if you wanted to use it in early season races where the weather can still be dodgy.
All in all though it's a bike that's going to see you through years of service and if you use it for commuting that outlay is going to be recouped very quickly. In a lot of ways the Kinesis reminds me of the Ragley Cragg Vale tested back in May 2011 - also a bike that was a joy to ride, regardless of whether it was wet, dry, winter or summer. This has the advantage of being able to run big tyres with guards on top of that.
(Word from Kinesis is that the TK3 has been a massive success so much so that the initial batch sold out in record time… the good news is there's more on the way they will be landing in January and you can pre-order now.)
Practical, comfortable winter bike with the spirit and stiffness of a racer.

Make and model: Kinesis Racelite TK3
Size tested: 54
About the bike
State the frame and fork material and method of construction. List the components used to build up the bike.
Hydroformed Kinesium alloy tubing with a 'power bulge' top tube and tapered head tube for stiffness
tapered steerer carbon fibre monocoque fork
Tiagra 10spd shifters and mechs
FSA Vero compact chainset
Tektro deep drop calipers
Shimano R501 wheels
FSA bar and stem
Kinesis saddle and seatpost
Tell us what the bike is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about the bike?
The TK3 is designed as an all year round training bike with race geometry. Kinesis say its become the staple product for the commited racer through the winter months. Its a pretty spot on description as you can train hard on it in your racing position year round
Frame and fork
Tell us about the build quality and finish of the frame and fork?
Top notch, smooth welding and the engraved logo on the top tube are neat touches. The TK3 feels solid and looks well built and as always Kinesis frames are finished with a deep paintjob.
Tell us about the materials used in the frame and fork?
Kinesium is developed by the engineering bods at Kinesis. Its a 6000 series alloy thats manipulated to create a material thats extremely stiff for its weight.
The fork is uni-directional carbon fibre, the fibres are laid in the direction that will give the best ride characteristics.
Tell us about the geometry of the frame and fork?
How was the bike in terms of height and reach? How did it compare to other bikes of the same stated size?
For a 54cm the top tube is long at 55.6cm which means it can be a bit of a stretch if you're not using it for performance rides. Other than that though its all pretty usual.
Riding the bike
Was the bike comfortable to ride? Tell us how you felt about the ride quality.
Yes, its stiff as its a race bike but not so much that it's shaking your teeth out.
Did the bike feel stiff in the right places? Did any part of the bike feel too stiff or too flexible?
Yes, front end and bottom bracket areas have no play whatsoever.
How did the bike transfer power? Did it feel efficient?
Very well, nothing is wasted through the frame and fork.
Was there any toe-clip overlap with the front wheel? If so, was it a problem?
Yes a bit due to the mudguards.
How would you describe the steering? Was it lively, neutral or unresponsive? Lively.
Tell us some more about the handling. How did the bike feel overall? Did it do particular things well or badly?
The handling is great, predictable but still exciting with loads of feedback.
Which components had the most effect (good or bad) on the bike's comfort? would you recommend any changes?
A lot of it is down to the hourglass seatstays but the Kinesis saddle is also pretty comfy.
Which components had the most effect (good or bad) on the bike's stiffness? would you recommend any changes?
The bars and stem are stiff and there is very little flex in the Vero cranks either.
Which components had the most effect (good or bad) on the bike's efficiency? would you recommend any changes?
The wheels due to their weight scrub off a bit of the performance but its an acceptable trade off for longevity.
21lb takes a bit of effort from a standing start
the stretched out position can make it a bit twitchy at slower speeds
It's weight counts against it but it climbs well in terms of position and getting the power down.
The drivetrain
Tell us some more about the drivetrain. Anything you particularly did or didn't like? Any components which didn't work well together?
It all works well although the Tiagra's shifting isn't as solid and precise as say Campag's Xenon.
Wheels and tyres
Tell us some more about the wheels and tyres.Did they work well in the conditions you encountered? Would you change the wheels or tyres? If so, what for?
The wheels are good, they saw a lot of water, mud and potholes and are still running smooth and true. The Kenda tyres are pretty dull but these won't be part of the production build.
Tell us some more about the controls. Any particularly good or bad components? How would the controls work for larger or smaller riders?
FSA finishing kit is on so many bike builds now and you don't get to that level without good quality, reliable kit. The compact drop bars as always are a good compromise and work well for small hands. Tiagras shifters also come with shims to move the levers closer to the bar.
Your summary
Did you enjoy riding the bike? Yes.
Would you consider buying the bike? Yes.
Would you recommend the bike to a friend? Yes.

With 20 years of road cycling and over 150,000 miles in his legs it's safe to say Stu is happiest when on the bike whatever the weather. Since writing his first review for road.cc back in 2009 he has also had a career in engineering including 3D-CAD design and product development, so has a real passion for all of the latest technology coming through in the industry but is also a sucker for a classic steel frame, skinny tyres, rim brakes and a damn good paintjob.
His fascination with gravel bikes is getting out of control too!

i built just this autumn the previous model, and i'm a fair judge of a machine if i do praise myself, i don't race, and bought this frameset unbuilt from a older cyclist who hadn't realised that it was longer than average top tube wise. why??. i found it a decent machine but too harsh for our third world roads, so it went down the road to another owner.. from the above test i would gather that its a out and out race feel but with guards,, i felt exactly the same on the one i built.. looks great , but way too harsh for its supposed winter duties.. i tried all manner of tricks to soften it enough to keep it in my stable, big tyres , cross 3 front wheel, double tape bars , carbon bars and stem. nothing worked.. except putting it back in your wallet..
Had this on pre-order and got it in October when the forst batch arrived. Mine has the 2012 build i.e. Tiagra chainset not FSA,Kenda tyres etc but its a really confortable ride for a winter bike. I got a smaller frame than normal and changed the bars from 44cm to 42 cm.
Love it!
Thanks for the comments. Top tube is slightly longer than normal because the frameset is designed to accommodate larger tyres and full guards without the need for an overly slack head-angle to avoid excessive toe-overlap. Riders normally find it can be easily sorted with an adjustment on stem length. You can add up to 40mm of spacers if you need to bring the front end up.
Hope this helps.
Dom. Kinesis UK.
Don't know what PACMAC rides in the summer (steel or carbon I guess?) but I've found the standard Alu frame (T2) with a carbon fork, seatpost and 25mm tyres to be more than comfy enough. I was pleasantly surprised how comfy the back end is compared to my last alu bike.
I've got it set up as per my summer bike and with a short-ish stem it rides just as well - albeit a bit heavier than carbon. Depends what you want it for: a winter trainer to replicate the fit of your best bike or an audax/sportive mile muncher. It's better at being the former than the latter, albeit its still comfy enough for me for an all day ride.
I built up the T2 last year and have it kitted out in 105 with m/guards.
These are OK as winter bikes - obviously extremely expensive for what they are but they do have good geo and are ideal for the winter thing. Considering the state of the roads around the Southdowns I think the bike is ideal for all year use. I'm not even going to take the m/g's off for the summer.
I still can't manage to get the TT to measure 55.6 cm or 556 mm no matter how many times I measure it. But as above I think the geo is OK for me so don't mind it being shorter than stated.
Did have a big problem with the first frame but after some discussion with Kinesis they kindly sent through a replacement and were generally very helpful.
If I hadn't brought the T2 I would definitely buy the T3 (after robbing a bank or BS {only joking}).

Women seeking help getting pregnant at fertility clinics are often confused about when they're most likely to conceive naturally, an Australian survey finds.
Don't miss these Health stories
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Researchers at Monash University in Melbourne polled 204 women looking for fertility assistance at two assisted reproductive technology (ART) clinics in the city. Just 13 percent could correctly answer which days of their menstrual cycle they were fertile, even though 68 percent said they believed they had accurately timed sex in their attempts to conceive naturally, and 87 percent said they tried to improve fertility knowledge.
"This study found a majority of the women seeking fertility treatment had insufficient knowledge of when to time intercourse to optimize natural conception," researcher Kerry Hampton, who led the study, said in a statement from Monash.
"Accurately timed intercourse on fertile days of the menstrual cycle may reduce the time it takes a couple to get pregnant, helping some to avoid unnecessary ART treatment," Hampton said.
Scientists define infertility as the inability to conceive after a year of unprotected sex. And Hampton said poor fertility awareness could be a contributing cause of infertility.
A woman is most fertile during the few days just before and including ovulation, which typically occurs 14 days before the start of a period.
The results of the survey, which were published online July 5, will be detailed in a forthcoming print issue of the International Journal of Advanced Nursing.

This tutorial will be on how to draw Thomas Jefferson step by step, one of the most influential men of history. As some of you may know, he was the third president of the United States of America, and was a powerful advocate of liberty. He was born in Albemarle County, Virginia in the year 1743. His father, Peter Jefferson was a planter and surveyor by trade. His mother Jane Randolph was the first cousin to Peyton Randolph. It wasn't until 1952 Thomas started to attend at a local school, and by the time he was 9 he was already studying Latin, Greek, and French. With the passing of his father at age 14 or 1757, he was left 5,000 acres of land and a few dozen slaves. Thomas Jefferson enrolled into the college of William & Mary in 1760 which made him 16 at the time. There he stayed for two years and studied philosophy, and mathematics. While attending school he perfected his French and Greek language. He was also interested in music as well and often practiced playing the violin. In 1762 Jefferson graduated with highest honors. It wasn't until 1772 that he married his first wife Martha Wayles Skelton Jefferson, she was a 23 year old widow and together they had a total of six children, and all where girls. Sadly, only two of them lived past their third birthday, the rest died when they where only one and three years old. In 1978 he eventually built his home on the land he inherited from his father which in time became known as Monticello which means "little mountain" in Italian. Shortly after that his wife Martha died on September 6, 1782. Jefferson never remarried another woman, but some speculate that he may have fathered several children from one of his slaves, Sally Hemings. Thomas Jefferson was a tall man, he had freckles and sandy colored hair, he also had a very eloquent domineer as a correspondent, but really did not do well as a public speaker. Jefferson was known to be the "silent member" of congress. He was given this name because he contributed his pen more then his voice when it came to the patriot cause. At the age of 33 Thomas Jefferson drafted the declaration of independence. It wasn't until some years later that he worked to make his words become a reality and was also known for writing the bill for religious freedom that was enacted in 1786. In the thick of party conflict in 1800, Thomas Jefferson wrote in a private letter, "I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."

There is a diversity of responses within the broader libertarian movement to the 912 march on Washington this past Saturday. Many in the commentariat (especially on the social democrat side of things) have accused the 912 protesters of being far-right authoritarians in libertarians' clothing, so it is interesting as a libertarian myself to put ones finger to the pulse of libertarian opinion regarding the event.
Here's a smattering from some libertarian blogs and websites:
The Cato Institute:
Two Thumbs Up Here...
If you've been fed a steady media diet of MSNBC over the last few months, though, you could be excused for fearing a Pennsylvania Avenue takeover by a rabble of pitchfork-wielding cranks and extras from "Deliverance." But the crowd... was made up of orderly, pleasant, middle-class Americans from all across the country.
And here...
'No Child Left A Dime' - That's my favorite placard from the Washington tea party protests on Saturday. No Child Left a Dime underlines perhaps the central concern of the protesters — the ongoing massive fiscal irresponsibility in Washington by both parties.
And One Thumb Down
Beck's purpose with the Project? "We want to get everyone thinking like it is September 12th, 2001 again." My God, why in the world would anyone want that? Yes, 9/12 brought moving displays of patriotism and a comforting sense of national unity, but that hardly made up for the fear, rage and sorrow that dominated the national mood and at times clouded our vision.
Lew Rockwell and the Mises Institute:
Two Thumbs Way Down
Really, DC is one nasty place. So why would anyone concerned about the state and its power "march on Washington"? Such events only dissipate energy, and fool people into thinking that their time and money have accomplished something, as the regime laughs up its sleeve. Indeed, that is the purpose. So stay home. Read, write, work, organize, and avoid DC like the plague it is.
The Independent Institute:
One Thumb Up...
This demonstration may reflect one of the fastest growing, grassroots movements in American history and one that is rapidly inspiring millions of people of the need to seek major reductions in the size and scope of government power. Simultaneously, the poll ratings for Obama and Congress, and state governments continue to drop.
And One Thumb Sideways
So, when I see demonstrations like the one that just took place in Washington, I sympathize with the people who've gone to the trouble of protesting against the government's abuses, but I find myself wondering, Do these poor souls really think they'll accomplish something by this protest?
Two Thumbs Up
The 912 March on Washington was a culmination of several Tea Party rallies that have taken place throughout the year to protest the encroachment of Big Government. Many free market organizations, including Bureaucrash, cosponsored the event. What took place this past Saturday certainly exceeded all expectations.
The Libertarian Party
Washington - Libertarian Party headquarters staff and interns joined the 9/12 Tea Party March on Washington. After gathering at Freedom Plaza, just blocks from the White House, the march proceeded the 1.1 miles down Pennsylvania Avenue to the U.S. Capitol for a rally.

Two Thumbs Way Up
Americans are waking up! The Sleeping Giant of the Moral Majority is waking from her slumber. The Obamanation is on it's descendency and it only took 6 months.... Beware miscreants in the media bearing news of low attendance, some outlets were quoting crowds in the 'tens of thousands'. Horse-hockey, don't let them get away with it!
The question is- what do you think about the 912 rally in D.C. and about the commentary you've read above?
Editor's note: If you run a libertarian blog or website and have commentary on the 912 event that you would like me to include in this post- drop me a line.

Manual for the health care of children in humanitarian emergencies
This manual was developed based on the recommendations of a global technical consultation on child health in humanitarian emergencies co-organized by WHO and UNICEF at the end of 2003. WHO in collaboration with the Centre for Refugee and Disaster Response, Bloomberg School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University undertook a systematic review in 2004. It demonstrated that existing guidelines, including The Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI), do not cover all priority conditions in emergencies.
The objective of this manual is to provide comprehensive guidance on child care in emergencies. Existing guidelines, such as IMCI, assume a functioning health system that facilitates the referral of children, which may not be available in emergency situations. So this manual also includes the initial management of severe conditions. It was also realized that existing manuals do not cover injuries, burns, neonatal illness, psychosocial problems etc, which are considered of high priority in emergency settings. These are addressed in this manual as well as issues on mental health, psychosocial support and common preventive interventions such as immunization.
Each chapter summarizes the main ways of diagnosis, treatment and prevention using flow charts. The flow charts are arranged in such a way that they can be enlarged for use as job aids/wall charts, or for modular training at convenient times on the management of each condition. The manual is a collaborative work of three technical areas within WHO - Child and Adolescent Health and Development (CAH), Health Action in Crises (HAC), and Disease Control in Humanitarian Emergencies (DCE).

ESPN Refuses To Promote Memphis Simulcast
Update: ESPN has corrected the graphics during the qualifying session from Memphis to reflect the SPEED simulast. While this cannot fix the tremendous damage that was done during the week, it is a statement that ESPN is trying to get its NASCAR act together.
Friday's NASCAR Now program wrapped-up a long and wet day of NASCAR on ESPN2. Host Ryan Burr reviewed the soggy conditions in Atlanta. Then, he let ESPN veteran Marty Reid preview the Saturday Nationwide Series race in Memphis, TN. Burr ended his program by sending viewers back to Atlanta for scheduled Sprint Cup Series qualifying.
The Memphis race is very important to that area as well as to the teams and sponsors in the Nationwide Series. In this event, eight cars will be racing with paint schemes designed by the children from St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital as a part of the "design a dream" contest. What a great story for TV as the picture above so clearly shows.
That race is also going to give a lot of new young drivers and some good old Nationwide Series "regulars" a chance to shine on live national TV. Unfortunately, where the Memphis race is concerned, TV really is the issue.
ESPN will have two football games, one horse race and one Nationwide Series race at the same time on Saturday. That makes four live events. The ESPN family of TV networks available to distribute those four events consists of ESPN, ABC and ESPN2. That makes three TV networks. Fundamentally, that's a problem.
The original ESPN solution was to put the Nationwide Series race on the ESPN Classic Network. This channel is completely "empty." What that means is that there is no original programming on it at any time.
Several years ago, ESPN Classic began re-airing only TV shows that ESPN already owned. Classic is like a huge video player with the SHUFFLE button permanently engaged.
Sometimes, ESPN Classic is used for live events when the ESPN networks are full. In most cases, these events are college sports-related. With a smaller number of households and limited availability, ESPN Classic cannot serve as a primary TV network for distributing a NASCAR race.
To solve the Memphis problem, ESPN and NASCAR enlisted the help of one of NASCAR's most important TV partners. SPEED stepped-up and agreed to carry ESPN's broadcast of the Memphis race. Here are some comments from last week when this arrangement was announced.
"ESPN is here to serve sports fans, and we appreciate the cooperation from NASCAR and SPEED to make this simulcast possible," said Julie Sobieski, ESPN Vice President, Programming and Acquisitions. "This effort ensures an opportunity for the greatest number of fans to be able to watch the Memphis race."
"This is a busy time of year for live sports and we really appreciate ESPN and SPEED working together to come up with a plan that takes care of our fans," said Robbie Weiss, NASCAR's Vice President of Broadcasting. "ESPN and SPEED will work aggressively to promote this simulcast."
Let's take a moment to rewind that last comment from Weiss. "ESPN and SPEED will work aggressively to promote this simulcast." Apparently, someone at ESPN did not get that memo.
From the moment this past Sunday when Allen Bestwick signed ABC off-the-air from Martinsville Speedway, there has been a deliberate and purposeful effort to do just the opposite of what Mr. Weiss stated. SPEED's simulcast of this event has never been mentioned on-the-air by ESPN.
First by the TV veteran Bestwick at Martinsville, then by NASCAR Now host Ryan Burr all week long it was just ESPN Classic for Memphis. Finally, ESPN's own IRL and NASCAR veteran Marty Reid joined-in the effort. He totally and absolutely avoided any mention of SPEED simulcasting the race while he was on the air Friday afternoon.
The program that Reid was hosting was live Nationwide Series practice...from Memphis.
Several times in the telecast, Reid ran-down the line-up of networks for Saturday's NASCAR action. SPEED was never on the graphics promoting the race. SPEED was not in the promo copy that he read. SPEED was never even mentioned by his partners in the booth Randy LaJoie and Rusty Wallace.
When this happens in network television across multiple networks and on many different programs, there is only one answer. ESPN's Vice President of Motorsports, Rich Feinberg, made the decision that despite the words from Ms. Sobieski and Mr. Weiss, the ESPN brand would come before the NASCAR fan once again.
TV viewers watching all of ESPN's "branded" NASCAR programming for the past week have never seen a promo for Memphis that included SPEED simulcasting the event. What that means is that NASCAR fans are being told by ESPN that they must use ESPN Classic to see the race on TV.
Pardon me, but isn't ESPN Classic how this entire problem got started in the first place?
Perhaps, Mr. Weiss was busy this entire week and no one from his staff took the time to point-out the fact that SPEED was missing from every ESPN mention and promo of the Memphis race. So much for promoting aggressively.
It is only through the good-faith efforts of SPEED that both NASCAR and ESPN will not suffer a huge public relations disaster. Imagine putting a stand-alone NASCAR race on an obtuse TV network after showing the entire Nationwide Series all season-long on ESPN2 and ABC.
There are only four Nationwide Series races left of the thirty-five on the 2008 schedule. ESPN has spent millions of production dollars to chase this series across the nation since February. It is the only NASCAR series seen exclusively on the ESPN family of TV networks. ESPN uses the high-profile team of Dr. Jerry Punch, Dale Jarrett and Andy Petree to call almost all of the races.
It seemed ironic that closing-out the Friday NASCAR TV on ESPN2 was that same trio talking racing from the ESPN Infield Pit Center while the rain continued to fall in Atlanta. With qualifying cancelled, it gave Punch and company plenty of time to cover all kinds of topics. When it came time for the Memphis race, Punch again followed the company line and told fans it was only on ESPN Classic.
Just when ESPN had finally regained its footing with many NASCAR fans, the company deliberately pulls one of the cruelest stunts of the season. Using the "us vs. them" mentality that has invaded the new ESPN culture, SPEED's simulcast was pushed aside as perhaps something that Weiss and NASCAR forced upon ESPN.
Let's set the record straight. I was asked to be patient and wait for all three parties to resolve this issue before writing about the problem. I cooperated fully. Now, that issue has been resolved but ESPN will not mention on-the-air that NASCAR fans without ESPN Classic have another TV option.
So, here is my Memphis race promo:
"TV viewers with ESPN Classic can tune directly into the Memphis Nationwide Series coverage at 3PM for NASCAR Countdown and the race will follow. For those NASCAR fans without Classic, the race will be simulcast on SPEED."
You know, that just did not seem all that hard to say.

I hate to contradict you, but I heard Dr. JP say it was being shown on Speed, too, during the Qual rain fill-in. I either saw it twice or once when I replayed it to watch the whole thing after reading your other column about JP.

I know I would MUCH rather watch the race on SPEED than ESPN. No bottom ticker, now if we could only get the SPEED Truck guys to call it, even calling it from Atlanta they would put on a great show.

I'm watching it on Speed, too. Wonder why it starts at 3:30 on ESPN and 4:00 on Speed. Countdown is 3:00 for a half hour.

I like the baseball guys at ESPN and during all this World Series they have announced that the Series will be seen on Fox and ESPN radio.
I mean this is promentally stated in every pre-game and post game show. Why do you suppose they do it for one sport and not anonther?

This would be a prime example of why they dont mention the SPEED simulcast. People would rather tune to SPEED than ESPN Classic.

I think Marty and Randy did a nice job of the practice yesterday. I don't really think they needed Rusty in the booth, especially with his ownership of 2 cars in the race. Hopefully when I return from my vacation, the race will be recorded on tivo.

This is exactly why NASCAR should void the current television contract and let Fox and Speed take care of all of the races all season long.

It would be instructive to know the name of the person or persons you feel are most responsible for the overall problems with NASCAR at ESPN.
I can understand your distaste and possible reticence in throw people under the bus, but I think the overall approach the network takes can not change until the roadblocks are clearly identified for management and removed. A fish rotts from the head after all.
I appreciate your efforts on this site and while it is being echoed around the web, I feel that a direct writing campaign by fans over the off season would add a dimention to the pressure that ESPN has not as yet fully felt.
I would also like to know who at SPEED I can write to and thank for putting our sport over pure selfinterest and acting like a grown-up. I would like SPEED to know how much I appreciate their efforts on all fronts when it comes to the FAN!

The point is that you either put NASCAR first or you play games and put your TV network first.
We went through this with ESPN last year when they did not list the non-ESPN races on NASCAR Now even though the show was about the sport...not the network.
It would have helped so much if Bestwick had said this last weekend. It really would have helped the Series if Ryan Burr had explained the simulcast and the reason why to the fans on NASCAR Now.
There is a new post up for the live Nationwide Series qualifying from Memphis. It should be interesting to see if and when Marty Reid mentions the simulcast.
At any rate, the damage is done.

i seem to be saying/writing this quite a bit these past few weeks but . . .
many thanks to speed for caring about nascar enough to step forward and broadcast the memphis race. rest assured, i will be watching this race only on speed.
and, once again, shame on espn for their dismissive attitude about what speed's doing for them, about n'wide racing and about nascar in general. how long have you guys KNOWN this conflict existed? and it took you until now to reach an agreement with speed? and you STILL won't "man up" and let fans know that there is an alternative to the rarely-seen espn classic channel? unprofessional, mean-spirited and ungrateful louts.
jd: the best thing to come out of all this hot mess is that i keep referring folks to this site so they can figure out what's on when. i also invite them to join us on race days so maybe you'll see another lift in the numbers for TDP. after all, as we've all said forever: great work deserves to be recognized and applauded and you do great work, jd! thanks.

ESPN Classic changed the graphics in the qualifying show from Memphis to reflect the simulcast ant Marty Reid mentioned SPEED in passing several times very uncomfortably.
While this will not change the damage done during the week, it shows that at least someone in the loop is thinking of the fans.

Or maybe even the advertisors. It's ESPN's commercials that will be on Speed, right? Surely it's in their interest to have a larger audience!

Could ESPUs non mention of the race also being shown on SPEED is because they were left out of the loop before they got the TV rights?
Talk about a Jimmy Spencer syndrome about never forgetting. Regardless, the fans should be their number one priority. This is why I will be watching the race on SPEED. And, I still want to know what NASCARs take is on all this.

Anon 10:15PM,
Let me help you out (again) with what happened.
The very next morning, SPEED was added to all the Memphis promos on ESPN during the Nationwide coverage of qualifying.
As a matter of fact, Marty Reid started the show with it.
Also, every single time that the upper third scoring crawl went by as qualifying moved along, the first thing on the crawl was a promo for the simulcast with the SPEED logo.
Do you think for one second that ESPN would have changed a thing without my column?
This is the way NASCAR TV is going this season. Every partner out for themselves. It is KILLING the sport as a whole at the worst economic moment in the past thirty years.

Zac Murillo grabbed hold of his first opponent, drove him into the mat, and rolled him over and over like an alligator in a death spiral. In each of his first four bouts in the national spotlight the Southington wrestler rolled, flipped, and turned his opponent as officials tried to keep up with the scoring.
He wrestled for just over one minute in the first day, and finished with a 3-0 record. It wasn't until his semifinal match that anybody managed to score on the 88-pound grappler, and he clawed his way into the finals with all but one victory coming by technical fall.
Murillo might not have been crowed a national champion at the 2013 ASICS/Vaughan Cadet National Championships in Fargo, N.D., but the incoming junior became the first Blue Knight to advance to the freestyle championship bout. His second place finish might be the best finish from a Connecticut wrestler at the national meet.
"We've had kids go out there before, but we've never had anyone place," said Southington High School wrestling coach Derek Dion. "Connecticut's only had two kids that I know of in the finals, and he's one. That tells you how good he is."
That's why a small crowd of family, friends, teammates, and wrestling fans crowded into a small room at the back of El Sombrero's Restaurant on Sunday, July 21 to celebrate Murillo's rise to the top of the nation's elite. In just his second appearance at the Fargo competition, Murillo went 6-1 to place second in his division.
"I went up against some of the best guys in the country. I faced kids from Pennsylvania and Minnesota," Murillo said. It's just an amazing tournament. I just knew that I wanted to get to the finals so bad. I had set that as a goal, so I just focused on it and got it."
In 2012 Murillo never made it past the opening day with two losses in his first two attempts, but 2013 was a different story. It took him just 18 seconds to beat Bryton Wichell (Wyoming) in the first round. He beat Dylan Cook (North Carolina) in 42 seconds, and capped the day with a 23 second win over Noah Colehouse (Pennsylvania) to finish the first day 3-0.
"It really boosted my confidence, but I got a really good draw," he said about the freestyle brackets. "In the past few times, I had some really crappy draws. In [the Greco-Roman competition], I actually drew the kid that finished first in the tournament for my first match. Last year, I drew two all-Americans in my first two matches. This was much better."
The 'Fargo' Tournament, as it's known among wrestlers, is an annual tournament to crown the best Greco-Roman and Freestyle wrestlers in the country and is one of the largest wrestling tournaments in the world. This year, the tournament set records with 4,152 entries over seven divisions. Matches take place on 23 mats in the Fargodome and matches are broadcast internationally and on the web.
"It's just a great experience," said Murillo. "You go there, and you meet a lot of good wrestlers. In Connecticut, there aren't a lot of great competitions, but out there it was just amazing."
Murillo was far from finished. He started out the second day with a 10-0 tech fall over Dylan Koontz (Wisconsin) and secured his position on the all-American roster with his fifth straight tech fall, an 11-0 win over Taylor Day (Oklahoma).
Zach Bylykbashi was the only other Southington wrestler to take part in the event, and Bylykbashi was the only state wrestler with two wins (2-2) in the Greco-Roman tournament. Murillo went 1-2 in the first tournament but rallied to a 7-1 record in the freestyle event to earn all-American honors.
"He was just really locked in," Bylykbashi said about his teammate. "I'm just so happy for him. He's really put in so much work to get there. When you say 'Fargo' everyone knows that it's the biggest wrestling tournament in the world. To say that he took second is such an honor. I'm proud of him."
It wasn't until the quarterfinals that the Southington grappler was scored upon, as he opened the third day with a 13-2 win over Brayden Schwalbe (Montana). He went on to beat Brawley Lamer (South Dakota) with a 14-6 decision in the semifinals that advanced him into the championship round.
"Often times, high school kids have that one move that they go to time and time again. They can beat a lot of kids with that move," said Dion. "It's not just one or two moves with Zac. It's positioning, the way he moves, and his aggression. He's just the complete package. We're finally getting to see him against kids his size, and he's shown that he's one of the best in the country."
For two years, Murillo has been forced to wrestle bigger kids. As a freshman, Murillo battled to a 7-7 record in Connecticut's 106 pound high school varsity division but struggled to make the minimum weight against opponents that out-weighed him by almost 20 percent. Last year, as a sophomore, Murillo battled to a 21-14 record and earned a sixth place finish at the Class L tournament against his heavier competition.
In Fargo, he finally entered a tournament on a level playing field, and Murillo took advantage of the opportunity.
"It was an advantage at this tournament because all of the kids just seemed lighter than what I'm used to," he said. "I've learned over the last four months about wrestling guys my size, and to be able to out-muscle kids was a great feeling."
"Now you can see how good he really is," said Dion. "He's so aggressive. He continues to attack. His positions are fantastic, and his changes of direction are just his natural movement. He does it at the right time in the right situation. He flows with the action, and he stays on top of it."

This metropolitan city has a wide range of great golf courses ideal for just that.
This is the place to hob-nob with Jakarta's elite while having a wonderful and relaxing round of golf.
Most of Jakarta's Golf Courses have been designed by internationally acclaimed architects and professionals golfers like Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Greg Norman, Rober Trent Jones Jr. and more. Jakarta has also hosted a number of prestigious Golf Tournaments, including the recently CIMB-Niaga Golf Professional Championship held at the Royale Golf Cours.
Jakarta's Golf scene offers challenging courses that are easily accessed, extend superb hospitality, services and facilities, and best of all are highly enjoyable at a reasonable prices. A number of best courses are located just outside the administrative province of Jakarta in the Greater Jakarta region, but since these normally offer grand scenic mountainous vistas, distance to reach them should not deter you, especially when you start in the fresh morning hours.
For the ladies, since time immemorial, princesses and ladies of the courts in the ancient kingdoms on Java have been pampered with luxurious massages and aromatic body treatments to keep themselves beautiful and attractive at all times.
They showered in invigorating springwater fresh from the mountains or in pools filled with scented water. Additionally, to keep their inner wellness and youthfulness they drank special concocted herbal drinks made of handpicked choice leaves and roots. These special Indonesian herbs for inner health and outer beauty are known as "jamu", which are for different purposes, to cleanse the skin, to brighten the eyes, to keep the body slim and a lot more.
Today, pioneers in Indonesian cosmetics among whom Mooryati Soedibyo herself a princess from the royal court of Solo, and Martha Tillaar have both modernized the age-old beauty treatment and jamu into modern cosmetics through meticulous pharmaceutical research and production. Both their product lines are today among best sellers on the counters and in Spas and salons. Both Martha Tilaar and Mooryati Soedibyo have also pioneered the Spa and Wellness programs in Indonesia, giving visitors the same luxurious treatment as in palaces of old, but with professional staff who adhere to international standard requirements.
Now in Jakarta, besides the Martha Tilaar Spas and the Taman Sari Royal Heritage Spas a host of other Spas brighten up the city scene, including in five star hotels and upmarket malls, which offer similar treatments, some providing the Indonesian lulur and the Indonesian massage, others have gone international with hydrotheraphy, Swedish Spa, or with Shiatsu, gym and others. All in beautiful soothing surroundings.

Multi-Core CPUs and Folding@home
A Quick Note On Hyperthreading
If you have a single-core hyperthreading CPU, you may be tempted to follow the multi-core instructions. It is highly recommenced that you do not do this as the Folding@home team prefers fewer results quickly, than more results slowly. There is also a time-limit on work-units, so if it runs slower, your work-units may not be returned in time, and so distributed to another user. If you have one core, run one folding process.
Multiple Folding@home Installs
Multiple installations of FAH on a single machine are useless, as in v7, you can use slots for every workload. The software is uniform now for gpu and cpu.
Monitoring Work-Unit Progress
There are several ways of monitoring the progress of your FAH client/s, both on the command line and by GUI.
The FAHControl software distributed by folding at home provides you with efficient means to control remote hosts. Just add another client with the corresponding button "Add" and enter the name, ip address, port and password (if you set one) and hit save. The software should now try to establish a connection to the remote host and show you the progress in a seperate client tab.
In AUR there is silent blades fahmon, which provides a GUI with the ability to watch multiple clients and get info on the work-unit itself. Fahmon has a dedicated site at http://www.fahmon.net/
On the CLI, you can add a command to your .bashrc , .zshrc or .whateverrc :
fahstat() { echo echo `date` echo cat /opt/fah/FAH_USER/unitinfo.txt #(replacing FAH_USER first) }
Or for multiple clients :
fahstat() { echo echo `date` echo echo "Core 1:";cat /opt/fah/FAH_USER/unitinfo.txt #(replace FAH_USER first) echo echo "Core 2:";cat /opt/fah2/FAH_USER/unitinfo.txt #(replace FAH_USER first) }
Also, replacing cat with tail -n1 will give just the percentage of work unit complete.
On foldingathome-smp 6.43, the unitinfo.txt file is not placed inside the user folder. The correct directory would be

GOP convention will use 'behavior recognition' software on video surveillance cameras in Tampa
GOP convention
The police department in Tampa, FL, is deploying behavioral recognition software from BRS Labs on dozens of the video cameras that will provide round-the-clock surveillance at many of the venues where the GOP national convention will take place August 27-30.
The cameras will use AISight, release 3.0, which can look for abnormal activities, send real-time alerts to security personnel and take "deep dives" into the intelligence that the system has collected over the course of time, said John Frazzini, president of BRS Labs, in an exclusive phone interview with GSN on August 20.
Frazzini said he was allowed to acknowledge that BRS Labs has licensed the use in Tampa of its behavioral recognition software to Aware Digital, Inc., a surveillance system integrator based in Miami, FL, but he was not allowed to disclose whether BRS will play a similar role at the Democratic national convention, which will be held in Charlotte, NC on Sept. 3-6. Frazzini did point out nonetheless that he was standing in a parking lot in Charlotte, NC, while conducting the telephone interview with GSN.
"From our perspective, what's taking place at this National Special Security Event in Tampa is a good example of how police are moving to a pro-active posture, rather than remaining in a reactive posture," said Frazzini, who was a U.S. Secret Service agent earlier in his career.
The Houston-based company's AISight software has the ability to capture and process video images over a long period of time, and use a form of artificial intelligence to "learn" what activities are deemed normal and what atypical activities should be considered abnormal. For example, said Frazzini, a truck backing into the loading dock of a venue at the GOP convention at an unusual hour might be considered abnormal. Similarly, a group of people accessing a building, where they've never appeared before, might be deemed abnormal, he noted.
The AISight 3.0 software has been deployed on cameras in Tampa for more than a month, said Frazzini, so they are already beginning to "learn" which activities in and around the convention venues should be considered routine.
The latest release of AISight offers heat-mapping for the first time, Frazzini told GSN. It can also display some of the intelligence it has been gathering. "You can now look and see how our system has collected knowledge," Frazzini said.
During the convention, the BRS Labs software will be deployed within a perimeter around the convention sites that has been determined by local police and the Secret Service. The radius of that circle is somewhere between a few blocks and a few miles, he added.
After the convention is over, he expects the Tampa police department to continue deploying his company's behavior recognition software in an expanded footprint.
For the GOP convention, the system integrator, Aware Digital, has signed a site-wide license with BRS Labs that enables the integrator to deploy the software on at least "dozens" of cameras, according to Frazzini, and perhaps as many as hundreds.
He couldn't say what, if any, role his software might play at the Democratic conclave next month.

DOVER – The citizen, volunteer, nonprofit and business of the year were honored this morning.
Dave Staples, DDS, is the 2013 Volunteer of the Year for his contributions to the city, ensuring all residents to have access to oral health care. Staples has also provided his services to the Dover Children's Home for 20 years.
Dover Lodge of Elks #184 is the 2013 Nonprofit of the Year.
"I was stunned that one organization could accomplish so much," Jay O'Neil of Federal Savings Bank said when congratulating Frank Santin and Barbara Allerd. "The Elks pledge to inculcate the principles of charity, justice, brotherly love and fidelity; to recognize a belief in God; to promote the welfare and enhance the happiness of its members; to quicken the spirit of American patriotism and to cultivate good fellowship."
The Dover Lodge wowed the selectors for their hard work putting up and taking down the 50 American flags throughout the city on the Fourth of July, Memorial Day and Veteran's Day.
The 2013 Business of the Year award was presented to Leone, McDonnell & Roberts, PA.
"In a world of bottom line solutions, it's easy to overlook that success in business is really about relationships," Catalina Celentano of Public Service of New Hampshire said, adding that the partners have instilled a culture of service for 40 years.
Leone, McDonnell & Roberts, PA are active members in the Rochester, Somersworth, Lakes Region, Wolfeboro, North Conway, Exeter and the Dover Chamber. They provide support to military through New Hampshire Society of Certified Public Accounts and contribute to a number of organizations.
Nancy Dion of Citizens Bank announced the 2013 Citizen of the Year award. The recipient was Dover native, Kevin McEneaney, who credited his accomplishments to his family. McEneany married his high school sweetheart, Dee, and together, have started a family in the city they love.
"Kevin is by far one of the most well respected and loved people within our community," Dion said. "A friend said of Kevin, 'All you have to do is just look at him and you like him.'"
McEneaney helped Dover Youth Soccer begin in 1985, marks the baseball fields, helped survey the St. Thomas Aquinas athletic fields and serves on more school, church and local charity boards than Dion said could be mentioned.
"The couple cannot refuse a cat or dog brought to them by the Cocheco Valley Humane Society either," Dion said.
McEneaney is also a member of an Irish singing group, who brings song and fun to nursing homes and schools.
"In so many ways, it is Kevin's passion for life that separates him from the rest of us," Dion said.
The 25th Annual Awards Dinner will be at the Red Barn at Outlook Farm in South Berwick, Maine on January 25. Tickets are on sale at www.dovernh.org.

Q. When is the time to prune a plum tree and how? At one time I was advised to just take the whips off and remove any dead wood. Thank you again for your time. — Karole
A. Hello again, Karole. The best time to prune a plum tree is in late winter just before bud break, and the advice you were given notwithstanding, plum trees fruit best with rather severe pruning. A lot depends on how old the tree is and how it has been pruned over the years.
The center should be opened up so sunlight can get to the inside of the tree. The way to do this is to remove entire branches. This type of cut is called a thinning cut. Cut close to the point where the branch is attached, but do not cut into the collar. The collar is the point at which the branch began to thicken where it was attached to the tree.
The other type of cut is called a heading cut and is used to shorten branches to produce new fresh wood. Always cut at a 45-degree angle within a quarter of an inch of an out-facing bud. This will produce new growth that faces away from the center of the tree.
Never, ever, leave stubs by cutting too far from a bud; they are an open invitation to insects and disease. It is important to keep your pruning tools clean and sharp; dirty pruners can spread diseases and dull ones can harm trees. It is a good idea to clean them with rubbing alcohol after each use.
It is also important to use the proper tool for the size of the branch to be cut. Use hand tools for the small branches and be aware that they provide maximum power when the branch is as far into the pruners as it will go.
Don't force your hand pruners to cut a large branch; if it feels difficult, use long-handled loppers. If loppers are difficult, use a pruning saw.
Pruning is an art and if you have never done it, it may seem confusing at first. But if you just stand back and look at your tree, you can see it start to "look right," and then you know you have done a good job. You can also prune just for size if you want to keep your fruit where you can reach it from standing on the ground. To accomplish this, just cut the topmost branches back to the trunk.
Q. Is February too early to plant tomatoes? — Carla
A. Here's a short and sweet answer for a short and sweet question, Carla: Not usually, but you will get the same result if you wait a month or so.
If planted before the soil warms sufficiently, the plants will just sit there and wait and then start to grow when it gets warmer. If you want to test this, plant one now and another at the end of March and check them in May; they will probably be the same size.
