- Most of the tomatoes we grow are open pollinated varieties, which means that saved seeds will produce plants true to their parent. This is what the "O.P." in the description stands for.
- A few are traditional hybrids, which means they are the product of a deliberate cross between two different parent varieties. Seedlings of hybrids generally do not come true to the parent plant, though you may get something similar – or perhaps wildly different!
- NONE of our varieties are GMO/genetically modified. Any discussion of genetics refers strictly to traditional methods of crossing varieties, by transfer of pollen between varieties, and selective breeding to refine and stabilize desirable traits.
AAA SWEET SOLANO. O.P. Mid-season. Small, dense-textured, globe-shaped fruits start out yellow with green stripes, ripening to dark gold on gold. Very sweet, with a nice fruity flavour. Nicely productive. Good market as well as home garden variety, holds quality well on vine and after harvest. Excellent salad tomato; holds shape well when sliced, and has lots of flavour. Indeterminate; stake or cage.
ADELAIDE FESTIVAL. O.P. Early to mid-season. A Dwarf Tomato Project cultivar selected and named by Patrina Nuske. Very compact, thick-stemmed plants produce full-size tomatoes. Small beefsteak-type fruit, pink-purple with dark green striping. Excellent flavour, rich as one would expect from a beefsteak, with a good balance of sweetness and acidity. Dwarf indeterminate; support with a short stake or cage as fruit gets heavy. Good for large containers.
AILSA CRAIG. O.P. Mid-season. Bred by Alan Balch from a cross of 'Fillbasket' and 'Sunrise'. Released in 1912 by Alexander and Brown, Perth, Scotland. Originally developed for greenhouse production in cool, short season areas, which recommendation led us to try it for the Cariboo-Chilcotin region, where this has proven to be one of our best varieties for yield and great flavour. Generous clusters of round, smooth, small to mid-sized, bright red, sweet and juicy, good flavoured fruit. Starts ripening in early August. Short indeterminate; stake.
ALASKA. O.P. Early. Thought to be of Russian origin. As the name reflects, recommended as a good cultivar for far northern and short season gardens. High yields of jumbo cherry size, bright red, good-flavoured, very juicy fruit. Compact plants are good for containers. Determinate. Stake for support.
ANDY'S BUCKFLATS WONDER. O.P. Early. Canadian. Back in 1981, Andy Pollock of Houston, B.C. started a tomato breeding experiment, inspired by a self-sown seedling of the 1908 Canadian variety 'Bonny Best'. He selected for early sprouting, frost tolerance, and superior yields, and so the variety 'Pollock' was born. 'Andy's Buckflats Wonder' is a further refinement of Pollock. Fruits are variable in size (they can get very large), bright red, very good tasting. Yields are high. The vigorous plants exhibit excellent cold tolerance. Indeterminate; tall plants; need support.
AMETHYST CREAM CHERRY. O.P. Early to mid-season. U.S.A, 2014. A very new variety, developed as part of the oh-so-trendy "blue tomato" push. Small, ivory-white cherry tomatoes are blushed with purple splashes on the stem end. Very productive. Mild, sweet flavour, and rather firm texture. Holds well on the vine and after harvest. Attractive addition to a cherry tomato mix; farmers' market growers will be pleased with this one. Indeterminate; stake or cage.
ANMORE TREASURES. O.P. Very early. Canadian, 2009. Another de-hybridized and stabilized selection of the ubiquitous 'Tumbler'. Vigorous, well-branched plants with abundant side shoots produce prolific early sets of cherry-sized, bright pinky-red, slightly oval, sweet, good-flavoured fruit. Cascading habit; excellent in containers and large (3 gallon+) hanging baskets.
ANNA AASA. O.P. Early. Swedish. An older variety from Sweden, rather similar to the British 'Gardener's Delight'. Clusters of deep red cherry tomatoes with excellent flavour, sweet with a dash of tang. High producing. Vines can reach 6 feet or more, but are easily pruned back to a manageable height. Vigorous indeterminate; needs support.
APRICOT. O.P. Early to mid-season. One of the fuzzy-skinned tomatoes, similar to 'Garden Peach'. Very high yields of saladette-sized, pale yellow fruit which blush soft red as they ripen. Very sweet and mild. The "fuzz" is very delicate, more of a silken texture rather than actual "peach fuzz". Indeterminate; needs support.
BANANA CREAM. O.P. Early to mid-season. U.S.A., 1998. One of its parents was the heirloom 'Yellow Banana'. Originally released by the Dutch seedhouse Sahin as 'Cream Sausage', which describes the appearance perfectly. Changing nomenclature aside, this is an attractive and good-tasting tomato. Early sets of small, elongated fruit turny creamy yellow when ripe. Very meaty, from its paste tomato heritage, but nicely juicy too. Productive. Rather sprawling, with wispy foliage. Compact semi-determinate, best in a cage.
BAROSSA FEST. O.P. Mid-season. A Dwarf Tomato Project cultivar. Small to mid-size, smooth-skinned, globular, pale yellow fruit with a faint pink blush. Juicy and sweet, with a tangy flavour component as well. A bit taller than most Dwarf Tomato Project cultivars, to 4 feet or more. Very sturdy plants. Compact indeterminate; needs support.
BAXTER'S BUSH CHERRY. O.P. Mid-season. American heirloom. High yields of large, red, flavourful cherry tomatoes on compact bush-type plants to 4 ft. tall. Determinate. Needs support – high yields are heavy. Good in containers.
BLABY SPECIAL. O.P. Early to mid-season. English heirloom, grown at Shoult's Farm in Blaby, Leicestershire until 1948, when the farm ceased production and the variety became extinct in cultivation. Thanks to a seed sample preserved in a Dutch seed bank, the variety was revived in 2008. Small to mid-size, bright red slicer tomato, well-balanced, very good flavour. Very uniform in size, absolutely blemish-free. Indeterminate, needs support.
BLACK GIANT. O.P. Early to mid-season. Russia. Round, smooth, mid-sized to large, purple-black-red fruit with green shoulders. Excellent flavour, very rich and sweet. Fantastic slicer. Compact indeterminate, stake or cage.
BLACK PRINCE. O.P. Early. This excellent cultivar has been popular in the former U.S.S.R. since at least the 1980s. Introduced to North America in 1994 by Nichols Garden Nursery in Albany, Oregon, which was our source for our first seeds of 'Black Prince' in that very year. Irkutsk, Siberia is the specific place-of-origin named in conjunction with this variety, but where it actually originated is unknown, as "black" tomatoes are fairly common in northern Russia, being prized for their excellent flavour, their cold hardiness, and their earliness. Once upon a time we were the only people we knew who grew this variety, but it has since become mainstream, and for very good reason. It is very nice – beautiful and delicious. Year after year, a personal favourite. Fruit is on the small size, egg/rounded heart shaped, with flawless skin. Colour is brown-purple-burgundy fruit. Very sweet, rich, smooth flavour. Semi-determinate; short stake or cage.
BLACK SEA MAN. O.P. Early to mid-season. Ukraine heirloom. Mid-sized, deep browny-red fruit with delicious rich flavour. An excellent and very tasty variety. Plants are quite small. Similar to the wonderful 'Black Prince' in quality. Determinate; short stake or cage.
BLOODY BUTCHER. O.P. Early. I thought with a name like this it would be an older "heirloom" variety, but it is actually relatively recent, being introduced into commerce by Kees Sahin, of Sahin Seeds in Holland, in 1998. Loose clusters of deep ruby red, jumbo cherry-sized "saladette" fruit. Excellent flavour, very sweet and rich, thin skins, very juicy. A lovely variety, with good yields. Very early – one of the first to ripen for us. Indeterminate; needs support.
BLUSH. O.P. Mid-season. Elongated, 2-inch cherry tomatoes are soft yellow with red blushing and stripes running from blossom to stem end. Very sweet, with a complex fruity taste. Very pretty tomato; high quality all around. From Fred Hempel in California, released 2011. Indeterminate; needs support.
BOBCAT. Hybrid. Mid-season. We grew this hybrid variety some years ago to good reviews, so when a commercial market garden customer requested it from us this spring we decided to grow a few extra and offer it again. Large, good-flavoured, firm but nicely juicy, bright red beefsteaks. Perhaps not as supremely delectable as most of the open-pollinated beefsteaks, but definitely sturdy and productive. Large bush; stake.
BRANDYSWEET PLUM. O.P. Mid-season. Excellent "jumbo cherry"
cultivar! Super-productive and super tasty – very sweet. Gorgeous little 2-bite size baby plums, rich pink, almost teardrop shaped. Watch these carefully – they will burst their skins easily when very ripe. Has the famous beefsteak 'Brandywine' in its ancestry. Indeterminate; needs support.
BRIN DE MUGUET. O.P. Mid-season. French heirloom. Clusters of large, elongated, dark red cherry tomatoes with pointed tips. Nice sweet flavour. Name translates to 'Lily-of-the-Valley'. High yielding. Indeterminate; stake or cage.
BROOKPACT. O.P. Early. A.k.a. BROOKPAC, BROOKPACK. Canadian variety developed at Alberta's Crop Diversification Centre in Brooks and released in the 1970s. Plants are compact and sturdy, well-behaved in the garden and good in large containers. Fruit is perfectly round, mid-sized, and bright orange-red. Flavour is good, a good balance of sweetness and acid. High yielding, healthy, cool weather tolerant – all-in-all a good contender for the Cariboo-Chilcotin garden, though it will of course – as "cold tolerant" is relative with any variety of tomato – be happier in a greenhouse or against a wall in the colder areas of our region. Determinate; stake or cage.
BROWN BERRY. O.P. Early. A recent cultivar hailing from the Netherlands, where it was developed by Sahin Seeds. High yielding, early, sweet and flavourful cherry. Purple-brown-burgundy fruit and lots of them. Great taste. One of our stand-by varieties for snacks for the lunch box. Determinate. Cage or short stake.
CANABEC SUPER. O.P. Mid-season. A pleasant Canadian variety developed in Quebec in the 1970s. Attractive fruit is medium to large sized, round to slightly squat shaped, pink-toned red. Sometimes shows a bit of blossom-end scarring on larger fruit, nothing excessive. Flavour is well developed with a good degree of sweetness. Excellent fruit set in cool conditions, and early for a full-size variety. Determinate; short stake or cage.
CHOCOLATE CHAMPION. O.P. Mid-season. A Dwarf Tomato Project cultivar. Seed supplier says: "Dwarf (tree-type) plants with regular rugose foliage. Round and flattened brown/black (chocolate) beefsteaks, with slightly ruffled shoulders. 6-8 oz. Very good full flavor." We have had very good experiences to date with Dwarf Tomato Project cultivars, and look forward to trying out this one.
CHOCOLATE CHERRY. O.P. Early. Abundant clusters of dark burgundy-flushed dark brown, sweet, mild and delicious cherry tomatoes. Prolific and dependable. Loads of very good tasting, extremely attractive fruit. Indeterminate, rather spindly vines; needs support.
DARK ORANGE MUSCAT. O.P. Early. A newish American variey, with heirloom ancestry. Large, juicy, rich-flavoured cherry tomatoes are an interesting green-blushed orange colour, with green-seeded interiors. Attractive addition to the cherry tomato range. Indeterminate; stake or cage.
DEMIDOV. O.P. Mid-season. From Siberia, introduced by the Western Siberian Potato-Vegetable Experimental Lab some years ago. Compact, bushy plants with abundant yields of mid-sized, plum-shaped, deep pink fruit. Meaty texture, sweet and mild flavour. Good container variety. We really like this one, and are happy to be growing it again. Bush-type. Limited quantity for 2017.
DITMARSHER. O.P. Very early. This one is a continual favourite – early and tasty, mild and sweet. Very dwarf, 12" plants with a sprawling habit – good in pots and hanging baskets. High yields of very tasty, sweet and mild, small, oval/grape/egg-shaped, pink-red cherry tomatoes. Nice.
DWARF ARCTIC ROSE. O.P. Early to mid-season. A Dwarf Tomato Project cultivar. Sturdy 3-foot tall plants. Good sets of mid-size, beefsteak-shape, meaty and juicy, dark pink tomatoes. Delicious flavour, rich and well-balanced. Bush-type, support recommended.
DWARF CHAMPION IMPROVED. O.P. Mid-season. Very compact, sturdy plants. Good production of small to mid-sized, beefsteak-type, pink-red fruit, very meaty and good-flavoured. Bush type, support recommended.
DWARF FIREBIRD SWEET. O.P. Mid-season. A Dwarf Tomato Project cultivar. Medium sized, beefsteak-shaped, smooth-skinned pink-red fruit with generous gold striping. Very pretty. Excellent sweet flavour. Dwarf indeterminate. Good for large containers. Stake for support.
DWARF ORANGE CREAM. O.P. Mid-season. A Dwarf Tomato Project cultivar selected and named by Craig LeHoullier. Released in 2015. We grew it in 2016 and were very happy with its productivity and taste. Vigorous potato-leaf dwarf plants. Good yields of small to mid-size, pale creamy-orange, smooth, slightly oval fruit with a matte skin. Smooth texture and very good flavour – sweet and rich. Dwarf indeterminate. Good for large containers. Stake for support.
DWARF PINK PASSION. O.P. Mid-season. A Dwarf Tomato Project cultivar. Vigorous "tree-type" dwarf plants. High yields of medium sized, dark pink, very meaty, heart-shaped fruit. Good flavour, sweet and well balanced. Dwarf indeterminate. Good for large containers. Stake for support.
EARLIEST & BEST. O.P. Early. How can you argue with that name?! Introduced by venerable Canadian seed house Dominion in the 1940s. Mid-sized, round, flawless, bright red fruit with excellent old-fashioned flavour – nice mix of sweet & tart. Very high yields, and yes, very early. Excellent old-fashioned variety, especially for short season areas. I've eaten a lot of these growing up, as this was one of my mother's tried and true varieties which she grew in the 1970s and '80s in her super-productive little home greenhouse north of Williams Lake, in the cold zone, elevation 3000 feet. It was eventually dropped by Dominion as newer hybrids took over, but luckily the variety lives on thanks to dedicated seed savers. Semi-indeterminate; short stake or cage.
FANTOME DU LAOS. O.P. Early to mid-season. "Ghost from Laos". Very early for a "big tomato" variety, with huge, delicious, beautiful fruit – and lots of them. Ivory white, ribbed and lobed fruit is blushed yellow and pink. Very sweet and mild. Great slicer. Low-acid type. Some blossom end scarring, as is typical with any beefsteak type. An unusual and quite wonderful variety which surpassed our expectations. Short indeterminate; needs support.
FARTHEST NORTH. O.P. Very early. U.S.A. Introduced by the North Dakota State University in 1934. A compact and prolific red cherry tomato. Good flavour. Sets fruit well in cool temperatures. Good for containers, and northern gardens. Determinate; short stake or cage.
FLORAGOLD BASKET. O.P. Very early. U.S.A. Bred by the University of Florida agricultural department, 1988. A sturdy little mini-dwarf, for small containers. Bright yellow cherry tomatoes, turning orange at peak ripeness. Very flavourful for a yellow cultivar. Not as high yielding as some, but makes up for this by being extra early, and suitable for indoor winter growing and windowsill pots. Determinate. 6-inch pots are fine for this one.
GARDENER'S DELIGHT. O.P. Early to mid-season. Super-prolific, super-delicious, bright red cherry tomato. Loads of sweet fruit in large clusters on vigorous, healthy plants. Name says it all! Heritage English variety; Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit winner. We've grown this one for years and years, and will continue to do so. Sweet and delicious and high yielding – a perfect cherry tom. Indeterminate. Needs support.
GARDEN PEACH. O.P. Mid-season. This one is a bit different, in the very best way. Introduced to North American gardens in 1862, and thought to be a selection of a wild South American species, this unique variety is beautiful and delicious. High yields of small, pale yellow fruit with a delicate texture and sweet flavour. The pretty little globular fruits have a dull sheen versus the glossy brightness of other varieties, and closer examination reveals that the fruit is covered with a velvety micro-fuzz. Unlike a true peach, this one needs no peeling. Very juicy, too. Indeterminate. Needs support.
GREEN TIGER. O.P. Mid-season. U.S.A. Recent introduction by Fred Hempel of Baia Nicchia Farm, Sunol, California. Small, grape-shaped plum-type tomatoes, with firm texture, and good, sweet flavour. Light green with darker stripes; interior turns red-blushed upon ripening, when a slight outer pink tint will become apparent. Indeterminate; needs support.
GUERNSEY ISLAND. O.P. Early to mid-season. A New Zealand heirloom variety which originated on one of England's Channel Islands. Saladette-sized fruit are slightly oval, bronze-red with pronounced green stripes. Very juicy, and quite zingy in flavour. Excellent in salads. Very prolific. A beautiful and unusual little tomato. Indeterminate; stake or cage.
HOUSE. O.P. Early. Heirloom Russian variety, brought to Canada in the 1890s. Small plants reach 2 feet tall or so, and are well adapted to indoor container growing in the sunniest window possible, or, with our modern technology, under grow lights. Small, red, saladette type fruit is good flavoured; especially tasty in the off-season! Can be grown in the garden as well, where it often gets taller and produces more abundantly. Our seed source reports that this variety can be grown outside in large containers, then cut back in the fall and brought indoors to resprout and flower and fruit in the winter. Some specimens have lived in this manner for many years. Our first year growing; we are very intrigued by this one and hope to get some feedback from fellow gardeners as well. Compact indeterminate; stake or cage.
KANGAROO PAW BROWN. O.P. Early to mid-season. A Dwarf Tomato Project cultivar, released in 2015. We grew it in 2016 and were very pleased with its compact habit and tasty fruit. Sturdy 2-foot tall plants had a good set of mid-sized, smooh-skinned, brownish-red fruit with green shoulders. Nicely complex flavour, excellent all alone or in a salad. Bush type; good idea to stake as the fruit is large for the plant size. Good in containers.
KOOKABURRA CACKLE. O.P. Early to mid-season. A Dwarf Tomato Project cultivar seleced and named by Patrina Nuske. Released in 2015. We grew this one in 2016, and liked it. Vigorous dwarf plants produced a respectable number of smooth-skinned, egg-sized-and-shaped, deep brownish-red fruit. Nicely complex flavour, on the zingier side of the tomato taste spectrum. Bush type; good idea to stake as the fruit is large for the size of the plant. Good in containers.
LEMON BOY. O.P. Early to mid-season. Great big lemon-yellow beefsteak. Very mild, sweet and meaty; excellent yields. A really great tomato. Has been around many years and deservedly so. Indeterminate; stake.
LITTLE LUCKY. O.P. Mid-season to late. This very tasty tomato is a child of the famous 'Brandywine'. Good production of marbled red-orange, mid-sized beefsteaks. Flavour is sweet and good. On the later side, so must be grown in a greenhouse in the Cariboo. Large indeterminate, needs support.
LOTOS. O.P. Mid-season. A.k.a. LOTUS. A very nice Russian cultivar. Mid-size, round and smooth, creamy white fruit. Flavour is mild and sweet, with fruity undertones. Excellent slicer, very meaty. Potato leaf. Indeterminate, needs support.
LOXTON LAD. O.P. Mid-season. A Dwarf Tomato Project cultivar selected and named by Patrina Nuske. Released commercially in 2015; first grown by us in 2016. Vigorous, productive, dwarf plants produce dark orange, rather flattened and lobed, smooth-skinned fruit in variable sizes, small to very large. Well balanced, richly delicious flavor. Great slicer and salad tomato. Bush type; good idea to stake as the fruit is large for the size of the plant. Good in containers.
LOXTON LASS. O.P. Mid-season. Yet another Dwarf Tomato Project cultivar selected and named by Patrina Nuske. Released commercially in 2015; first grown by us in 2016. Vigorous dwarf plant with good sets of mid-sized, flattened, occasionally green-shouldered, dark orange beefsteak-type fruit. Excellent sweet and rich flavour. Bush type; good idea to stake as the fruit is large for the size of the plant. Good in containers.
LUCKY TIGER. O.P. Mid-season. New favourite! This brand spanking new "old-fashioned" green-when-ripe variety was bred by Fred Hempel of Baia Nicchia Farm in Sunol, California, and introduced commercially in 2014. Fruits are small and elongated, like jumbo grapes with pointed ends. Skin is green striped with purple, and inside is mottled green and pink. Very sweet and good – we eat these like candy – can't stop at just one! Super productive, too. Indeterminate; needs support.
LYANA. O.P. Very early. Moldavia. A very early, high quality saladette-sized tomato. Several productive settings of bright crimson-red, very meaty, very good flavoured round fruit. Good in containers. Determinate, stake or cage.
MANÖ. O.P. Early. Hungary. A nicely compact dwarf tomato, perfect for containers. Cherry to saladette sized fruit. Bright red fruit is full of flavour, sweet and lively. Excellent in salads, these slice perfectly into bite-size halves. Sturdy, short plants, no support needed.
MARALINGA. O.P. Early. Another Dwarf Tomato Project cultivar selected and named by Patrina Nuske, released in 2015. Vigorous dwarf plants with a generous yield of large, beefsteak-type, dark red-black tomatoes with deep crimson flesh. Smooth textured, rich flavoured. Bush type; good idea to stake or cage as the fruit is very large for the size of the plant. Good in large containers.
MINIBEL. O.P. Early. Introduced by Sahin Seeds, Holland, in 1998. Another super-dwarf windowsill or "pot tomato". Tidy little plants to a foot high or so, loaded with bright red, good-sized, well-flavoured cherry tomatoes. Can be grown under lights indoors in winter. Happy in a gallon-size pot. Determinate; bred for container growing.
MOMOTARO. Hybrid. Early to mid-season. This lovely tomato is the best-selling fresh markety variety in Japan. Large, dark pink beefsteaks are flawless, very juicy, sweet and good flavoured. Excellent production and disease tolerance. Indeterminate, needs support.
MONTREAL TASTY. O.P. Mid-season. Quebec heirloom variety. Large, bright red fruits are produced in profusion on relatively compact vines. Can be variable in size and shape; sometimes fruits are fused together. Very meaty, smooth-textured fruit with lots of flavour, on the tangy side of the tomato taste spectrum. Indeterminate; needs support.
MORTGAGE LIFTER.O.P. Mid-season to late. 1930s American Heirloom, a.k.a. RADIATOR CHARLIE'S MORTGAGE LIFTER. M.C. "Charlie" Byles was known as "Radiator Charlie" from the radiator repair business he opened at the foot of a steep hill on which trucks would often overheat. Mr. Byles, who had no formal education or plant breeding experience, created this legendary tomato by cross-breeding four of the largest tomatoes he was able to find & developed a stable variety after seven years of pollination and selection. He then sold his heirloom tomato plants for one dollar each (in the 1940s) and paid off the $6000 mortgage on his house in six years. It is said that each spring, gardeners drove as far as 200 miles to buy Charlie's seedling tomatoes. Meaty, flavourful beefsteak fruit are large (1-3 lb.), slightly flattened, pink-red, 1 to 3 pound, sweet and delicious. Good story; good tomato! This one is for the greenhouse in our area. For really big fruit, pinch out all except one green fruit per cluster. This one is a personal favourite – we have grown in very happily for a number of years now. Lots of huge, delicious fruit, and decently early too, mid-August through September. Indeterminate; needs support.
POLAR BABY. O.P. Very early. An Alaskan early variety. Similar to the Canadian Sub-Arctics, but fruit is quite a bit larger, though fewer are produced. Sets early, ripens early, then quits. Rosy-red fruit; good flavour. Really ugly plants; spindly branches, twisted foliage, pretty sad-looking in general – but the early, tasty fruit is grand! Short bush; short stake or cage.
POLLOCK. O.P. Early. Large production of mid-sized red tomatoes with excellent flavour. Bred from the old variety 'Bonny Best' by Andy Pollock in northern B.C. Indeterminate; needs staking.
RED ROBIN. O.P. Very early. Tiny, very compact plants only 6 to 12 inches tall yield clusters of surprisingly large, bright red cherry tomatoes. Good for a sunny windowsill, or in a small container. Don't be tempted to pick too soon – allow to ripen fully when they will be very good flavoured. And cute!
RED STAR. O.P. Early. Cute red cherry tomato – mini beefsteaks. Lobed, meaty, sweet and tasty bright red fruit. My seed source mentions that it got its name from the fact that if you cut it lengthwise, the slices would look like stars. By golly, they're right! Early and productive. We like this one. Short indeterminate; stake or cage.
REJINA YELLOW. O.P. Early. Cute little mini-dwarf from Japan, bred for container growing. To 12 or 18 inches tall, with a good production of clusters of small, very good flavoured, bright yellow cherry tomatoes. Compact dwarf, no support needed.
ROYAL CHICO. O.P. Mid-season. Good, high quality, paste and sauce tomato. Medium sized, dark red, few seeds, very plump and meaty. High yields over a brief but productive season. Determinate, stake or cage.
SEKAI ICHI. O.P. Mid-season. Japanese heirloom. Mid-sized, smooth-skinned, beefsteak-shaped, nice and meaty, pink-red tomatoes with vibrant old-fashioned flavour, on the acidic side of the tomato taste spectrum though certainly sweet enough for enjoyable fresh eating. Huge vines, very productive. Indeterminate, support is a must!
STRIPED SWEETHEART DARK. O.P. Mid-season. Small, heart-shaped fruit, striped dark red and greenish-gold. Deep red flesh. Very meaty, lots of juice, with complex tangy-sweet flavour. High yielding. Indeterminate, needs support.
STUMP OF THE WORLD. O.P. Mid-season. "Out-produces Brandywine 4 to 1!", according to my seed source. I love the flavour of Brandywine myself, but it has always been a shy producer in our garden, so we were keen to try the highly praised heirloom Stump of the World to see if it is indeed a better choice for our area. And so it has proven to be. Very early beefsteak and very productive. Pinkish-red, wonderfully sweet and meaty, smooth textured. Definitely a keeper. Short indeterminate; a strong cage works best as fruit is very heavy.
STUPICE. O.P. Very early. Czechoslovakian heritage variety. Bushy, productive plants. Small red fruit is very good tasting, especially for such an early variety. We've grown this one off and on through the years and have found it to be a good choice for short season areas, giving ripe fruit even in the most un-tomato-friendly years. Semi-indeterminate; needs support.
SUN GOLD CHERRY. Hybrid. Early. Our most-requested cherry tomato variety since we started growing it in 2010. Intensely sweet and delicious, rich orange cherry tomatoes on vigorous, healthy plants. Deluxe. Indeterminate; stake or cage.
SUN GOLD SELECT. O.P. Early. A selected, open-pollinated version of the fantastic hybrid, from Reinhard Kraft in Germany. Bright yellow-orange cherries, very sweet, and intensely flavoured. High yielding. Indeterminate; stake or cage.
SUNRISE BUMBLEBEE. O.P. Mid-season. A 2014 introduction from Fred Hempel of Baia Nicchia Farm in Sunol, California. Grape-sized and shaped, with pointed ends, a warm yellow with dark pink stripes. High quality fruits hold well on vine and after harvest. Good sweet flavour. A sister variety to the excellent Lucky Tiger. Indeterminate; stake or cage.
SWEET TUMBLER. O.P. Early. An open-pollinated selection of the popular hybrid 'Tumbler', from Australia. 2-foot long vines cascade out of containers – excellent for hanging baskets and patio containers. Fruit is round, pink-red, sweet and good tasting, though just a tiny bit on the firm side, like the hybrid parent. An excellent early variety, one of the first to ripen. Cascading/multi-branching.
TANGELLA. O.P. Early. Vivid tangerine-coloured, jumbo cherry type. Complex flavour; rich and sweet but definitely not "sugary". This has been one of our most-requested varieties over the years. Does well in large containers. Short indeterminate; support.
TUMBLER. Hybrid. Early. Clusters of sweet, bright red, jumbo cherry tomatoes. Rather firm texture, but quite good flavour. Very welcome as one of the first to ripen, though the later varieties are much better in flavour and texture, in our opinion. For baskets, planters, or can be trained up a trellis. Cascading/multi-branching.
WHIPPERSNAPPER. O.P. Early. Compact and sprawling, so think hanging baskets with this one. Abundant yields of delicious, pinky-red cherry tomatoes. Great variety! Determinate.
YELLOW CANARY. O.P. Very early. Compact, very dwarf, 8 to 12 inch tall plants bear many bright yellow, very sweet and mild cherry tomatoes nestled among deep green foliage. Container variety which will produce early and long; can even be grown on a sunny indoor windowsill. Determinate.


text: As you have just seen, a subform is an excellent way to create a form that lets you edit information from the one side of a relationship in the main form (contacts) while editing or viewing data from the many side of a relationship (contact events or contact products) in the subform window. Building a subform is very simple for a single one-to-many relationship. But what can you do when you have either multiple relationships or lots of data you need to deal with on a form and including all this information makes your form too large to fit on your screen? Access provides a tab control that lets you place multiple controls on individual tabs within a form. The controls on a tab can be as complex as subforms (in the case of the LawTrack Contacts database, to display related companies, events, and products) or as simple as text boxes (which can display the potentially lengthy information in the Notes field). You can see the frmContactsPlain form (the simple copy of the form that doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the production form) with the tab that shows contact events selected in Figure 13-32. You can click on the other available tabs to see the detail information for the contact—the companies associated with the contact (in a subform on that tab), and the products the contact has purchased (in another subform).

You can fix it by removing throw statements from hive-jdbc unsupported method and recompiling. Another way is to create your own BoneCPPlugin. Just copy the source code ./src/play-jdbc/src/main/scala/play/api/db/DB.scala and remove the offending method calls:
- setAutoCommit

- setCatalog

case mode => Logger("play").info("database [" + ds._2 + "] connected at " + ds._1)because dbURL calls conn.getMetaData.getURL and HiveDatabaseMetaData doesn't support getURL. Change dbplugin in app.configuration.getString("dbplugin").filter(_ == "disabled") to something else to avoid conflict with Play's BoneCPPlugin.

Mostly Pictures: Together Again!
Not many words today. Not needed. The day was Saturday, the subject is dogs, the event "Bark Island," and the highlight a reunion of two good pals.
Look, it's Digby!!!
Sarah would have enjoyed running on the beach even without the presence of Digby, her dog park friend of last year, but playing with him again made the morning extra-special.

Oh joy! No one can tell me dogs don't make friends.

Of course they do! And they have emotions. Human beings not blinded by the idea of scientific objectivity have always known this. And "joy" is the right word, too, Gerry, for happy dogs at play.

Eddards death is one of the most impactful deaths in the entire series as it would send the seven kingdoms into complete chaos. But lets look at a few things that would of happened differently had Ned lived.
Stannis Baratheon Would Be king
If you remember, Ned was a major supporter of Stannis's claim to the Iron Throne. This means that had Ned made it out of Kings Landing alive, the North would of rallied beside Stannis and together they would of been able to easily take Kings Landing and Stannis would sit upon the Iron Throne. Having Stannis in power would in fact mean the death of a very powerful house..

Crisp cool night out....wisps of campfire smoke drift in our open windows. It sort of feels like Labor Day weekend...maybe a day off tomorrow will thoroughly convince me that the end of summer is here. At the last couple of locations we've been at, we have typically had Sundays and Mondays off so seemed odd today to work. Was a short day though...only till 3. Miss my regular routine of Sundays....morning political banter on TV...and then NASCAR race in the afternoon. Sigh....what's a gal to do ? Perhaps our next location will provide better TV reception AND NASCAR will then move to ABC so I might possibly be able to catch a race. Wish us luck !
Sometimes we will chat with a customer about being roving managers and what that entails. A guy the other day likened us to the "Grim Reaper"....that our arrival at a property was an ominous thing. I guess in a sense that is true but we surely don't want people quaking in their shoes and fearful if they see us pull onto their property. We might just be stopping by to say hello or introducing ourselves (as we have done before at a couple of locations). It does sound kind of creepy though.....I guess there isn't a way to make it more pleasant. It is a tough task. In all my years of management, I never enjoyed firing people (well, except maybe that one time). I had a Vice President tell me once that "if it becomes a pleasant task then you've been doing it too long". I feel that the decision leading up to firing someone should make you stop and ponder the impact you will make on your organization, the employee and their family. It should always have an air of discomfort to it...then you will know that it was a decision that was made with much forethought and not one made in haste. In this job we aren't the ones to make the decision to fire someone. We are the ones sent in to pick up the pieces....resuscitate the business so it doesn't skip a beat. We're more like traveling AED's(automated external defibrillators)....ready to jumpstart a dying business back into life. There, that sounds better !

"Information security is a growing and challenging career field. In particular, cybersecurity has become a hot topic for many reasons. Everyone has a different view of what skills a cybersecurity expert should possess. Because the cybersecurity field is wide and deep, experts can choose to be generalists or specialists in their domain of interest," says Henry Bagdasarian, the author of the eBook and Founder of Identity Management Institute.
Cybersecurity has mainly become a hot topic because of the increasing number of data driven devices which are connected to the Internet and each other, increased number of cyber attacks against companies and government systems, and, serious shortages of cybersecurity talents worldwide.
According to Gartner, there are 6.4 billion connected devices today which are expected to grow to 21 billion by 2020 out of which over 13 billion will be household devices used by consumers. These connected and smart devices which are embedded in cars and household appliances will perform many tasks on our behalf, share information, and carry a ton of data thanks to the ever increasing data storage capacities and decreasing costs.
Hacking incidents are also on the rise with 2015 logging 3,930 incidents which exposed over 736 million records. Data breach incidents and their impact are expected to increase as the number of connected devices carrying large amount of data rise. According to leading reports, over 90% of all cyber attacks are successfully executed with information stolen from employees who unwittingly give away their system ID and access credentials to hackers during phishing attacks. As such, data privacy and security risks will continue to be of utmost concerns. Especially, the definition of identity theft will be expanded to include device identity theft by another device making identity and access management the most critical aspect of cybersecurity.
Finally, according to industry analysis, more than 200,000 cybersecurity jobs in the U.S. alone were unfilled in 2015 which is up 74% over the past five years and it is estimated that the global cybersecurity job postings to be around one million. The demand for cybersecurity jobs is expected to outgrow the supply of cybersecurity experts. Consider that 6 million cybersecurity related jobs will be globally available by 2019, with a projected shortfall of 1.5 million cybersecurity experts.
The cybersecurity talent shortage is expected to affect many countries and last for many years which is why this guide is written to highlight the risk, encourage professionals in related fields and students to pursue a career in cybersecurity, and, seek the support of businesses and governments to promote the profession. With the knowledge in this guide, interested candidates will learn to pursue a career in cybersecurity and reap the benefits of a great and respected career.

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hi Jo, my name is Laura.
To be honest I do not want my dog put down, I believe it is totally unfair considering the circumstances around the situation, in regards ***** ***** dog was tied up, in his own yard and eating? All this should contribute to the fact of how the dog reacted. He is around children my partners children day in day out, my partner mother has 7-10 grandchildren who are at home daily and this never happened in 1 and half we own him from he was a pup.
I want to know do I have a legal right to go against the dog warden threatening and warning me that my dog has to be put down over this incident?
I don't think financially I can and im scared that if we lose the dog will be put down, I will be in debt and fined.
I already have dog removed from the back yard so these children can no longer torcher him and he is now with my mother running around her yard which is a lot larger than my partners mothers and there it is closed off therefore no one from public can go into the premises?
Yes - thank you for your advise so far.
Do you think I have a strong enough case to keep my dog ?

Happy happy SUNDAY!! How was your weekend?!?!? I've been packing and organizing and getting ready for MAPLE MEMORIES!! I CAN-NOT WAIT!! Sooooo excited to get some scrapbookin' DONE!! :)
(lets all pray that my oldest doesn't spread his sickness to me....he came home from his grandparents' house this weekend with a sore throat and achy all over!)
Mom and Kristy came across some extra kits from Crop*A*Ganza - the FLAMINGO one - if you'd like one let me know - there are FOUR left!!!
okay - so there's no "easy way" to do this - Internet is so hard to READ (if ya know what i mean!) so before i even begin to "type" this to you- please know that it is not meant in an ill way - or a selfish way - or negative at ALL!!!
CROP*A*GANZA.....let's talk about this for a minute!!! We still have 50 seats left and it is in less than four weeks!!! Before i begin - we GReATlY appreciate ALL of you that have already signed up - YOU are VERY IMPORTANT to us - we know that these crops would NOT be possible without YOU!! So - don't think for a minute that i am saying that you don't matter to us.....HOWEVER - WHY isn't it FULL YET!!?!??! :)
NOW - for those of you that HOLD CROPS for us around the NATION/CITY/COUNTY/WORLD, etc....!! - i KNOW that we SHOULD be happy with THAT and not be greedy - DON'T misunderstand me - we aren't being greedy......these crops take a LOT to put together, and i guess the question i'm getting at is ..... IS THE NEED FOR CROPS STILL THERE FOR YOU???? If there are plenty of other crops that you'd rather attend in the area - or other states, that's fine - we don't have to have Crop*A*Ganza, we're just wondering WHY this one isn't sold out as the last four have.......is it the economy? is it that the last one was TOO close to this one???? I would really like some feedback on this......i've allowed the blog to accept comments again....didn't realize you'd miss commenting so much!!! hee hee!!! but seriously - we put a LOT of work into crop*A*ganza, and if the need for larger crops is not there anymore - we can look into something significantly smaller to hold several times a year in it's place......so please let us hear from you - either HERE or at email@example.com your opinion is GREATLY important to us!!!!
Onto other topics!! i'm going to be posting pictures of some of Jana's GREAT sewing sensations soon - so come back to check on that.....but we are going to sell her items EXCLUSIVELY!!! i'm SOOOOO totally EXCITED!!!! She is making tool caddy's, that hook onto your cup holder and she's also making GORGEOUS coffee Koozies to put over your STARBUX cups!!! my starbux lady is TOTALLY jealous of mine!!!!

Just my 2 cents, but I personally think twice a year is PERFECT! I think, like you said, that maybe it's just too soon since the last one and maybe the economy has something to do with it too. For me, I don't really need a little "getaway" every 3 months, but by the time 6 mo. rolls around I ALWAYS look forward to a little "me" time. I think you guys do an AWESOME job putting on CAG and your hard work is truly appreciated! Can't wait to see you guys in 25 days (not that I'm counting)!

I agree with Danica. This year, my problem was that the summer crop was right before my trip to Hawaii and I didn't buy anything this summer to save up for the trip. I would have gone this fall, but both weekends picked, I was already scheduled for other events. Sorry:(
BUT....I have already asked off for Friday pm for the Feb. crop. Can Not Wait!!!

I would agree also - it does seem like it is just a short time since the last CAG and I am happy with twice a year - please don't stop them! It has been tough - especially for those families on strike right now. I will be there though - lots to do!

Hello! The summer crop-a-ganza was my first and now I am hooked! I have signed up for the September crop and look forward to as many more as you come up with. Just a thought to maybe bring in more people, have you tried quarterly crops? I LOVE LOVE LOVE how much work you put into it, but honestly, I think that just by giving us ladies a place to go and hang out with each other is fine too...but like I said, I do LOVE LOVE LOVE it the way it is. See you in September! Oh and something on the side....PLEASE consider a WEST SIDE store.

Lenten Poem
The Journey with Jesus: Poems and Prayers
Selected by Dan Clendenin
Christ has no body but yours,
No hands, no feet on earth but yours,
Yours are the eyes with which he looks
Compassion on this world,
Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good,
Yours are the hands, with which he blesses all the world.
Yours are the hands, yours are the feet
Yours are the eyes, you are his body
Christ has no body now but yours,
No hands, no feet on earth but yours,
Yours are the eyes with which he looks
Compassion on the this World
Christ has no body now on earth but yours.

Fear Not by AEK
I'm still not thru.
The book of creation I like to read
the why, where and the how.
Then the book of His rules
the why, where, and the how.
The best books are the life
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The why, where and the how.
There are books about how
His Church was started and books
of mysteries and histories.
These books were written for you and me
The most words used I've told are
"Fear Not" not only once but many times.
Having trials in your relations
"Fear Not"
Calamities that shake our psychic
"Fear Not"
Christ is with us.
Doors open and doors close
Knowing not His purpose or plan,
things we don't understand
"Fear Not" He'll show the way
His will be done and in our final throes
"Fear Not" His promise
He'll always be beside us.
"Fear not only believe"

Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time by Pastor Bettye
First Sunday in Lent
Matthew 4: 1 – 11
Let us pray…..
O Lord Jesus, like Saint Paul, may I count everything as loss in comparison with the supreme advantage of knowing you. I want to know you and what your passion and resurrection can do. Give me grace to make every effort to supplement faith with moral courage, knowledge with self-control, self-control with patience, patience with piety, piety with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. May these virtues keep me both active and fruitful and bring me to the deep knowledge of you, Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
Welcome to Lent. Welcome to the days of learning, praying, contemplating and experiencing Jesus in a renewed way…because we already know who Jesus is…..or do we? In this season of Gospel texts we will be "meeting Jesus again for the first time". The Gospel according to Matthew chapter four starts us off. This particular text on temptation is a good beginning for where we are going in our quest for "meeting Jesus again for the first time." Jesus' forty days and forty nights in the wilderness are about to end but ours is just beginning. Matthew in his telling of the temptation of Jesus is speaking to a confused audience both then and now. Matthew simply wants to introduce Jesus to those with ears to listen. Today, the first Sunday of Lent we are beginning our quest of "meeting Jesus again for the first time" in the words of the Gospel writer whose writing centralized on this "knowing" of the Son of God which would then lead to believing not because of what he does but because of who is. Matthew spends his literary genius introducing the son of God to the world and again to us. It is the perfect text with which to begin our Lenten Sunday journey. The Gospel according to John will continuing our knowing of Jesus in the weeks to comes but for today Matthew offers answers to the question "Who is this Jesus?"
Matthew uses many titles of Jesus throughout his entire gospel texts: the Messiah, Son of David, and Son of Abraham. God announces, according to Matthew, "This is my Son, the Beloved." Matthew gives the listener to today's text a Jesus who knows that his very nature comes from scriptures as he quotes Moses three times during his temptation:
· From Deuteronomy 8: 3 – "One does not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God."
· From Deuteronomy 6: 6 – "Do not put the Lord your God to the test."
· From Deuteronomy 6:3 – "The Lord your God you shall fear; him you will serve."
The use of these ancient texts in the story of Jesus' temptation points us to the character of Jesus, the Son of God. Matthew uses Old Testament images to preach and teach Jesus as a humble King like Moses, a patient king in the wilderness who trusts God and who has not allure for the trappings and temptations of this world. Jesus lives the talk of the faithful, trusting servant king, the Son of God... This is the golden nugget in today's Gospel text with which we begin the quest of "knowing Jesus again of the first time."
The Gospel according to Matthew while rich with opportunities to discuss our own temptations is simply about Jesus, who he is and what sort of character he shows. This temptation story illuminates for us the Son of God. This story is about him, not us. We, my friends cannot put our God to the test in order to meet our selfish need to be able to define Jesus, the Son of God in our own terms. The Son of God:
· Does not turn our stones into bread simply because we would be more comfortable with our given "hungers" if he did so.
· He will not prove God to us simply because we are too lazy to seek God ourselves with all our hearts, mind and souls.
· Jesus will not turn from his very basic nature as the Son of God to embrace the kind of successes WE would applaud and WE would recognize.
Jesus remains the steadfast Son of God. How long will WE stand as HIS Tempters waiting for proof of who Jesus is? We cannot tempt Jesus to be something he is not on this the first Sunday of Lent. We can gather together and begin a quest started in the Gospel according to Matthew to be continued in the Gospel according to John – meeting and knowing Jesus again for the first time. We may think we know Jesus, Matthew and John will be helping us learn Jesus the Son of God!

Ash Wednesday Poem
George Herbert (1593–1633)
The Crosse from The Temple (1633)
What is this strange and uncouth thing?
To make me sigh, and seek, and faint, and die,
Untill I had some place, where I might sing,
And serve thee; and not onely I,
But all my wealth and familie might combine
To set thy honour up, as our designe.
And then when after much delay,
Much wrastling, many a combate, this deare end,
So much desir'd, is giv'n, to take away
My power to serve thee; to unbend
All my abilities, my designes confound,
And lay my threatnings bleeding on the ground.
One ague dwelleth in my bones,
Another in my soul (the memorie
What I would do for thee, if once my grones
Could be allow'd for harmonie):
I am in all a weak disabled thing,
Save in the sight thereof, where strength doth sting.
Besides, things sort not to my will,
Ev'n when my will doth studie thy renown:
Thou turnest th' edge of all things on me still,
Taking me up to throw me down:
So that, ev'n when my hopes seem to be sped,
I am to grief alive, to them as dead.
To have my aim, and yet to be
Further from it then when I bent my bow;
To make my hopes my torture, and the fee
Of all my woes another wo,
Is in the midst of delicates to need,
And ev'n in Paradise to be a weed.
Ah my deare Father, ease my smart!
These contrarieties crush me: these crosse actions
Doe winde a rope about, and cut my heart:
And yet since these thy contradictions
Are properly a crosse felt by the Sonne,
With but foure words, my words, Thy will be done.

Tranfiguration Sunday by Pastor Bettye
Matthew 17: 1- 9
Grace, mercy and peace to you this day in the of the Beloved Son of God, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. AMEN
On Sunday nights I sat in front of the big black and white T.V. in our living room waiting for it, waiting for one splendid moment when fantasy held the possibility of reality. Then it appeared….the castle, the fireworks display! For me at a very young age this was the closest thing to glory I could remember. Then in a flash it was gone. But I knew it would return…every Sunday night. I was watching the opening credits for the "Wonderful World of Disney". I was watching the place were dreams come true. For just a moment it all felt so real. All I wanted was for that one moment to affirm in my very young mind that there was a magical place. I stopped watching for that moment on Sunday nights as I grew older having lost that sense of wonder as my mind developed and my world enlarged. After all, it was just make believe and grownups don't believe in such nonsense. It was not until forty plus years later that I had the opportunity to recapture this moment of glory in person.
In the preparation of today's sermon, this bit of my personal history came back to me. This moment on Sunday nights when I was given the opportunity to observe the illumination of the ordinary; not unlike what our disciples experienced today.
During a conversation this past Epiphany season with a pastor friend we discussed "favorite" Gospel texts on which to preach. After a season of the 'Sermon on the Mount" instructions I commented that I was looking forward to the glory of Transfiguration Sunday; the text which allows us a glimpse of Jesus in his original form, holy, pure and revered as the Son of God and the disciples in their "beginning", their transformation. In this text the itinerant preacher named Yeshua in the Aramaic tongue of the day or Jesus as we know him is illuminated, transfigured from an ordinary state to the "Beloved" the Son of the Most High God. In a flash Peter, James and John are given a mountain top experience then, in a flash it is over. Briefly they are allowed the privilege of seeing what a "transformed" life looks like. They are momentarily illuminated themselves with the knowledge of who they follow; the one who called them from their nets at the Sea of Galilee a few short years before. In a moment in time on a mountain top they see the Son of God and they too as ordinary men are transformed. What they DO with this illumination is the real issue as disciples.
Despite the brevity of this illumination, this vision that is all informing, the disciples believe that it is real. It is this moment in time that propels them to share with others NOT this particular event but rather what this event did to renew the belief in the one with whom they stood on that mountain top, namely the Beloved Son of the One to whom they were called to LISTEN! Because of this moment they are encouraged as ordinary disciples to witness to other followers illuminating for them the Gospel message of the Beloved Son of God. Peter, James and John were ordinary men who had their own transformation on a mountain top and thus a part in the continuation of the ministry and message of the followers of the Word.
Martha Grace Reese in her book Unbinding the Gospel shares insight from interviews with two thousand people and in short learns this: people come to Jesus through the words, the teaching, the sharing of other Christians and their "mountain top "moments which transfigured, transformed them. Our ability to be ordinary disciples like Peter, James and John and the sharing of our faith in Jesus Christ is what draws others into the illuminating yet ordinary experiences of the church. Our words, our stories, His Gospel of salvation bring light to the dark places in our beings. We like Peter, James and John seek moments of illumination in prayer, service , worship, and study. We as Christians have the illuminating, transformative story to tell of the Beloved Son of God; his life, his love, his death , his resurrection for all humankind. The transformation of the heart of others is, to a great part dependent on our ability and desire to share our faith with those who wait and wonder amidst the difficulties of life without hope.
At the age of fifty my daughter and I traveled to the mountain top of my youth….we went to Disney world. One night we stayed in the magic Kingdom to watch the fireworks. Suddenly I saw it…the flash when the ordinary was illuminated and Cinderella's castle is covered by the lights of a myriad of fireworks and I literally gasped. What briefly went through my mind were these words, "It's real!" The depth of this momentary excitement can hardly be articulated yet I found myself wanting to share it with anyone who asked me, "How was your vacation?" Their kind nods and blank stares told me they were only politely interested. Of course, not being an evangelist for the Disney Corporation I let it all drop over time.
I wonder….I can't HELP but wonder, do we have ordinary experiences in church which are so illuminating to us that our desire to share the mystery and miracle of God is right on the tips of our lips? Are we afraid to share the illumination we feel at this table, at the font, in the forgiveness of our sins, in our worship and our songs? Do we sense the reality of these mountain top experiences and yet keep them to ourselves?
This Lenten season is filled with "ordinary" services which have been planned to be illuminating. I cannot wait to teach and preach the messages of the season to waiting ears. I cannot wait to have others be like Peter, James and John in their sharing of the stories of the Gospel. I cannot not wait to be illumined with the ordinary on Easter morning and gasp in delight as did the disciples because ….it IS real!
How about you and others who you are called to invite to this miracle filled season?

Trips by AEK
physically, mentality wandering around.
In our language its called a trip.
We travel by plane or go by ship.
take the train or go by car
to so many places near and far.
We need this and maybe that
so much luggage we must pack.
The shortest, longest trip
is our journey thru life.
filled with good, evil and lots of strife.
Travel with God, He'll see us thru.
We carry no luggage-
Christ carries it all.

2011 Vacation – Days 4 & 5
Sunday morning brunch at Village Inn. The hostess asked us a trivia question: aside from salt and pepper, what are the three most used spices in America? We guessed sugar, cinnamon and garlic. She said one of those was correct, but sugar was considered a condiment, not a spice. We never found out what the three spices were. Alex drooled over the birthday cake pie, and our waitress informed us they serve free pie (!!!) on Wednesdays with any purchase. Even a cup of coffee. We know where Alex will be tomorrow!
It was going to be a hot day on Sunday so we decided to find some indoor activities. Alex first drove us to the Cherry Creek shopping district. We arrived a quarter hour before the mall opened so we walked down the street to a FedEx store so Alex could send off a package to SBCC. On our way back to the mall a jeep drove by and two ladies shouted out "Hey Alex!". He's been living here for three weeks and knows perhaps ten people, and two of them just happened to drive by us on a deserted street on a Sunday morning. Bizarre.
The mall was much like Jordan Creek in Des Moines but snootier. We clearly didn't belong there. They should have charged a cover to get in, so we would have known better than to walk inside in the first place. Even the Apple Store gave off a pungent aroma of smugness (then again, when doesn't it?). We did find a neat toy & game store to wander around in. Otherwise we just did a quick walk-around and then left.
We then headed to the east side of the City Park, site of the Museum of Nature & Science, which bills itself as the fourth largest museum in America. The exhibits are more or less what you'd find in any science/nature museum: astronomy, animal dioramas, rocks & gems, a mummy, dinosaur bones and a self-guided tour of the evolution of the world. Nothing I hadn't seen before at other similar museums. They did have a temporary exhibit on the human body, which was neat. I had my wingspan and walking style measured and analyzed.
We considered seeing an IMAX film but couldn't find anyone to sell us a ticket. We decided against eating at the overpriced museum restaurant, littered with noisy screaming children. Having exhausted our options at the museum, we returned to Alex's apartment. We made some sandwiches and loafed about for an hour. Since Alex's apartment is lacking a couch and a television, there isn't much to do besides reading or surfing the net, the latter something I try to avoid when on vacation.
After a while we scrounged up enough energy to go out again. Headed over to Broadway near downtown and walked to the bookstore I had noted on Saturday night. The sign in the door, which I had not read the night before, said it was closed all day Sunday. Some guy walking by us on the sidewalk said there was another bookstore just down the block. We took his advise and ventured south and found it — an even bigger store, narrow but very deep, probably the depth of the entire block. One room after another of makeshift shelves with paperbacks and hardcovers from floor to ceiling. An entire aisle of white boxes stuffed with old magazines of all interests. They had a smut room but wanted a buck just to get in, so we passed.
We walked in the shade on the west side of the street. Passed by various erotic boutiques and a leather BDSM shop. Also sidestepped a dingy black t-shirt caked in day-old chunky vomit outside the entrance of a male strip club. Not quite a "family" shopping area.
There was nothing on the agenda for the rest of the day aside from *not* returning to Alex's apartment. Drove to the mall in Aurora but it closed just as we parked the car. Hit up a couple nearby shops, then had dinner at Rosie's Diner, an authentic 50s chrome and fluorescent place that serves delicious chocolate milkshakes (which our waitress forgot to bill me for — I made sure to tip her well).
We spent the evening at the movie theater seeing "Horrible Bosses". It wasn't bad, but I'm glad I only paid $6.50 for it. Kevin Spacey and Jennifer Aniston were the highlights, playing despicable, immoral assholes. I may have had more sympathy for the lead actors had they not been bumbling, incompetent fools. A rental, at best.
Monday morning I got up as Alex left for work but then got in some more sleep. Used his pokey internet connection to hunt for a few things to do, but by the time I had a few leads Alex texted me to say he needed his car over the lunch hour. So I stayed put and read my book until he returned with the keys. Didn't leave the apartment until after 1 p.m. but that was okay with me. Part of being on vacation is being lazy and not having to busy myself every hour of every day.
In the afternoon I drove back to the city park. Found a bench in the shade on the west side of the big lake and did some reading and people watching. Denver prides itself as being the fittest state in the nation and it definitely shows. I felt fat just looking at its citizenry. After an hour of reading and watching gaggles of geese pass by the shoreline, I got back in the car, drove along Colfax and down Havana to pick up a pie for dinner.
Got back to Alex's apartment before he did. Started making dinner: tuna & pasta shells w/ various spices and seasonings. We scarfed it down and I surprised Alex with the pie he had been eyeing on Sunday. We only ate one piece each, so Alex would be left with something to slowly, systematically devour before Free Pie Wednesday.
After dinner we headed downtown to the REI store. I felt fat again, surrounded by so many thin, tan, athletic people. They *almost* had Vigram five-fingers in Alex's size — the pair they brought out were just a tad too tight for his liking. I resisted the temptation to exchange hundred of dollars for high-quality camping gear. Drove along a road that passed through a building on our way to the Denver Pavilion. Did some more window shopping. Tried some frozen yogurt at Pinkberry and took the trolleys up and down 16th. The ped mall has pianos placed in the brick median on every block, inviting talented players and morons alike to serenade or annoy the passing crowds.
Left the mall and drove to south central Denver to a mini golf course. Very picturesque location, with the sun setting behind the mountains to the west and the sky just turning dark. The first nine holes were well designed and a bit challenging, but the last nine were boring and pretty much like each other. As if the owners had been unable to come up with more than a dozen putting obstacles. Felt the bite of a few flies on my legs but no mosquitoes. None the entire time here.
The sky was dark and we drove back to Aurora. Passed the Breakfast King, which looked like a primo place for breakfast on my next trip. Stopped at the Alameda Liquor Mart, the end-all be-all liquor store, and picked up a six-pack mix of bottled beers. Back to the apartment to drink and watch "The Rules of Engagement".
That brings us to today. Woke up several times before my alarm made Being Awake official at 7:30. Deflated the air mattress and folded up the sheets and tried to clean up the living room as much as I could. Scarfed down a large coffee cup's worth of Cap'n Crunch before heading out the door. Made good time driving to the airport. Parted way at the West Terminal. Security at the Denver Airport is a somewhat larger affair than at the DSM airport, but I only waited in line for 20 minutes before moving through the large human body x-ray and a brief grope by a TSA agent.
For some reason I assumed my return flight departed at 4:30 p.m., but when I went to forward a PDF copy of my boarding pass to Alex on Monday, I was surprised to learn the flight was actually scheduled for 10 a.m.! Arriving at the airport at 8:30, I figured I'd make it through security and shuttle to the right departing gate within an hour. After taking the underground train to the B Wing, I learned my flight was delayed until 11:21 a.m. I walked and walked and walked… and walked… to the very end of the world, the final gate of the wing, and sat down, and waited. Thankfully the Denver Airport offers FREE WIFI! Most excellent.
I had also forgotten that I had booked a seat at the very back of the plane. Seats in the back row do not recline. I did not think of this when I booked the flight on Travelocity several weeks ago but I am sure I will remember this tidbit for the rest of my life. What an uncomfortable seat. At least I had "At the Mountains of Madness" and a tiny glass of complimentary Sprite to keep me company. And I did book a seat on the right side of the plane, so my window seat faced the south, with the sun coming right in the window, illuminating my book. Clear skies and very limited turbulence all the way back to DSM.
Touched down exactly at 2 p.m. Gave back the hour I gained last week crossing the time zone. Shuttled back to the economy lot and paid thirty-some bucks to exit the lot. Took 235 out of DSM and 35 and 20 back to CF. Arrived back at my place in 2 hours. Almost immediately after getting inside and opening the windows I was right back outside for an hour bike ride — the weather had greatly improved since last week and the allure of the outdoors was too tempting to spend the afternoon unpacking or cleaning.

I am reading a connection string for SQL Authenicated user from the SSIS Package Configuration file which looks like
Data Source="ServerName";Initial Catalog="DB";User Id="UID";pwd="PWD";Integrated Security= false;Persist Security Info=True;
I am accessing the above connection string in the script task. But the conection string comes without the password and it says login failed for the user. I am unable to get the password.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
View Complete Post
I have an SSAS database (Analysis Services 2005) which connects to Oracle for the data. I have the userid and passwordsaved in the connection string.
If I deploy the cube from Visual Studio I DON't have to manually edit the Data Source in the server to input the userid and password. The information is retained.
If I do a build and then deploy .asdatabase file using Deployment Wizard (Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Deployment.exe), the connection information dissappears. I have "Remove Passwords" = False in Project configuration.ÃÂ So when you build the project there will be a file with extension .assecurityinformation which holds the encrypted security info. Somehow
deployment wizard doesn't look at this file.
After the build I execute this command
Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Deployment.exeÃÂ .\Project.asdatabase /s:.\Deployment.log
I tried interactively and silent mode. Either way I cannot deploy the project with the userid and password in it.
Any clue?
It accesses a database using a connection string in machine.config.
On my Windows XP Pro 32bit (SP3) machine, it works correctly.
On my new Windows 7 Pro 64bit machine, it throws "object not set to an instance of an object" when it gets to the line where it's trying use the connection string.
This is the 'object' which is not set in Windows 7:
The machine.config has the same connection string set up on both machines.
A .Net 2 website transferred to the Windows 7 machine has no problem accessing the same connection string.
Does anyone know what's going on here? Many thanks.
when publishing in the webmatrix dialogue it asks for "destination connection string" for my "database.mdf"
I was not sure what it was so I pasted this from my web.config file :
Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True
it all published ok, but wont run, so I guess it has somthing to do with this connection string or some kind of configuration issue.
My question is this, What should go in the field for "Destination connection string"
Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True
it all published ok, but wont run, so I guess it has somthing to do with this connection string or some kind of configuration issue.
My question is this, What should go in the field for "Destination connection string"
