Unity3D Projects, Version Control and Git
Posted by Chris Danielson in Unity3D on June 4th, 2011
Remember when CVS was a pretty neat version control system for one guy working out of his garage? Then many of us became enamored with SVN, which was a nice upgrade offering many additional options than your standard CVS. There are many other version control software packages on the market as well, some cost money and others are free. When it comes to the Unity3D Pro game engine there really are two version control systems that come to mind.
- Unity3D Asset Server – Costs $500.00 (as of June 4, 2011). It's an add-on component that requires additional hardware resources to run on. It doesn't appear that you can run this thing in the cloud (i.e. Amazon ec2, or pick your favorite virtual flavor).
- SVN – FREE, but a real pain to setup with your Unity3D project. What folders and data do you not upload into your repository? Unity has a how-to, but it still stinks when you have those .svn folders peppered throughout your project.
As of June 4, 2011 Unity3D Pro shares these two options on their website (including the HOW-TO). http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/Manual/ExternalVersionControlSystemSupport.html
What if there was one more option that wasn't discussed by Unity3D? What if this option was as easy as SVN, if not easier to implement?
Enter in Git. I have personally setup my Unity3D projects using SVN in the past and after using Git, I can't stress how great this product is for your Unity3D projects. No more nasty .svn folders incidentally getting distributed in your software or irritatingly peppered throughout. Also, branches, tags and the ominous merges are handled inherently much better in Git. As a side note, Git was created for one of the most popular open source projects on the planet earth… Linux. And it was started by the king of handling merges… Linus Torvalds himself. Not that that should steer your thinking much, but I have to admit I was slow to begin using Git. Now that I'm using Git, I've already converted all my latest projects over to it because I just can't seem to live without it's simplicity and power.
So how do I integrate Git? I'm not going to go into detail on setting up your own Git repository here. You can easily set one up over at github.com. Or for the more adventurous, you can create your own Git repository and integrate a authentication/permissions or use straight SSH. BTW, I recommend to use gitolite for authentication/permissions. Gitolite, will make integration a snap without forcing you to create a handful of accounts on your Linux server. It also doesn't hurt that Fedora and a few other big systems use and support Gitolite.
You still have to follow some of the Unity3D directions for creating an SVN friendly Unity3D project. More specifically, you need to follow the first 3 directions they list. Well here is my recipe…
Please note, this only applies to Unity Pro Licenses.
- Create a new project inside Unity and lets call it InitialUnityProject. You can add any initial assets here or add them later on.
- Enable Meta files in Edit->Project Settings->Editor
- Quit Unity (We do this to assure that all the files are saved).
- (My addition) Create a new Git repository for your project. Setup git on your local workstation and pull the empty repository down to a folder
- (My addition) Copy your new Unity3D project over to that local repository project folder.
- (My addition) Create a .gitignore using my recipe or a modification as shown below.
- (My addition) Startup Unity3D and open the project from the new local repository project folder.
See below for a .gitignore file which is stored at the root of your local repository location. It will take care of helping you avoid storing the wrong files into your Git repository!
# Unity3D .gitignore file. # Store this file at the root of your local repository. .DS_Store Library/AssetImportState Library/AssetServerCacheV3 Library/FailedAssetImports.txt Library/ScriptAssemblies Library/ScriptMapper Library/assetDatabase3 Library/cache Library/expandedItems Library/metadata Library/previews Library/guidmapper Temp *.pidb build
Remember with Git, that you are operating on your local repository until you perform the git push origin master. This means you can bundle your commits into the parent version control!
Finally, I feel like I discovered a happy medium of finding a free alternative that works better than SVN with the Unity3D game environment.
Good luck with your projects and happy game developing!

This is a detail from Nomade, a painted stainless steel sculpture by Spanish artist, Jaume Plensa, installed in the John and Mary Pappajohn Sculpture Park in Des Moines, IA. I wandered through the park with my friends Dan & Rachel on a rainy afternoon. Rachel and I were both wearing canvas shoes--fools!--and while I can't speak for Rachel, my shoes are now the grossest things ever. Sorry for any shoe ruination you may have experienced, Rachel. Anyway, while standing inside this sculpture and reading all the angsty teenager graffiti, Rachel spotted something. She has such sharp eyes...

new old curtains
I found this vintage fabric at an estate sale for 25 cents. I was attracted by the pattern and the bold primary colors, all in spite of the icky polyester-ness. Unlike my grandmothers, who (Mom has informed me) were pretty excited by the introduction of the first polyester fabrics--What do you mean, it doesn't wrinkle?--I had no plans to put this near my skin.
But curtains, well that's a different story. Unfortunately, my lack of sewing skills stood in the way of new curtains. Stood in the way of them big time. But lucky for me, Mom had stopped by for a visit and seemed game to break out her mother's vintage sewing machine, which I own and can sort of use...if you don't count that ongoing battle between myself and the bobbin. As for that, we are total jerks to each other. So, I put Mom to work and went to take a nap. True story...

Iowa! I mean, Eat-o-wa!
When you're in the Midwest, you need to eat like you're in the Midwest...and for me, that means MEAT. Please understand, I'm not terribly carnivorous at home. I don't usually buy meat because it's expensive and a pain to prepare. (OK, not thaaaaat much of a pain, but you must be mindful of cross-contamination, and really, I feel like I already have enough to worry about.) But if I don't have to prepare it, all bets are off. So, I spent this weekend eating meat, bread, and more meat & bread. I must say, it was pretty excellent. May I direct your attention to Exhibit A below? This brisket sandwich with pickles and onions was made by the good folks of B&B Grocery, Meat, and Deli. Yes. Please. Thank you. Always and forever...

The wind smelled of wildflowers...
I went up to Mt. Rainier on a week ago with my mom. The wildflowers were all in bloom, and being neither of us
had been hiking at this particular time, we decided to go for it. We hiked all around Paradise. Every breath you
took smelled of sweet wild flowers. It was truly magical...

Capitol of the Midwest
This is the Iowa state capitol in Des Moines. I was visiting this weekend for a wedding and had occasion to wander the capitol and its grounds. If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend it. The building is beautiful, and there are free guided tours. I couldn't take one--because I was about to be late for a wedding--but I did hear a little something about
tours including the dome. The dome! Oh man, next time for sure. One of the wedding guests, a Des Moines native (biased much?), told me that their capitol is the most beautiful in America. Still, I'm pretty close to convinced...

Plundering mother's garden
I took care of my mom's cats and her horse Sully over the weekend so she could go visit sister Christine in Spokane...ergo I plundered her garden.
To be fair she certainly didn't mind, but boy did I get some treasures--check it out...

I live in a land the Praying Mantis love.
Recently, Ben and I started seeing these little guys around town. Praying mantises! This is a new experience for me, and I'm super-excited. Side-note: I have a cricket in my office (which is, apparently, good luck?). I don't exactly want to hurt it, but I also don't want it in residence any longer. I'm thinking about bringing in a praying mantis to do the vile deed. I would, of course, catch the insect assassin and release it back in to the wilds of Los Angeles. As for the mantis above? It was the first one we saw, just hanging around our hibiscus tree while I was succulenting in the garden beds...

GNP is awesome!
No silly, I'm not talking about Gross National Product. I'm talking about Glacier National Park and how awesome it is. Nicholas and I were there last week for a speedy day trip through the park. We could have easily spent a few days there, but even in just the one day we saw some spectacular creatures--take a look...

Dreams of alpacas...
Like most twenty-something girls, I want alpacas. Most girls want alpacas right?
Of course they do--they're cute, cuddly, relatively small, and has wonderfully smelling fiber.

The Royal Nicolai's
|via mint.com
On the 24th of July, I sent Catherine a text that ran along these lines: If we sisters were characters on The League, I'd be Kevin, you'd be Ruxin, and Monika would be Taco, I think.
Thus was born, the Who Would We Be? game, which Catherine and I have been playing ever since. We have covered:
Little Women: Catherine is Jo/Beth. Monika is Amy. I'm Meg. Actually, Catherine's precise words were: Little Women: easy. Monika is Amy. You're Meg. I'm Jo/Beth because I'm bossy and heart failure-y.
Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead, Monika is Sue Ellen. Catherine is Melissa. I'm Kenny.
Arrested Development: Catherine is Michael. Monika is Gob, and I'm Buster, of course.
Harry Potter: Catherine is Hermione. Monika is both Fred & George Weasley. I'm Neville.
Most of the time we reason it out like this: Catherine is the bossiest, the smartest, and the most responsible. Monika is fun, honest, and outgoing. I'm introverted, nice, and generally terrified. But we all have hearts of gold. Yes. Just like hookers. Nice hookers. Expensive. Discerning. Hey, did you know that call girls are the highest class of hookers? Sociology class taught me and Catherine this useful bit of intel. So, we basically have call girl hearts...

Brief Musical Interlude: THE KING
Today marks the 35th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death. Let's not dwell on that sad fact.
Instead, how about we bask in the glory that is Elvis in his prime! This song rules my universe.
There's almost nothing better to listen to while dancing around the kitchen. I promise.

Bison, deer, and pronghorns!
On our way to Hot Springs, MT, we decided to stop at the National Bison Range in Moiese, MT. The range was established in 1908 and houses over 400 bison and numerous deer, pronghorns, elk, birds, and chipmunks. It was well worth the slight detour because we got to see it all...

Limp in, leap out
The second day of our trip ended in Hot Springs, MT where we stayed at a little house we found for super cheap on airbnb. We stayed across from this hotel which also houses the hot springs. The Symes Hotel was built in 1930 for $50,000 and business thrived during the Depression. The locals told us, "the water really is magical." I wasn't sold, but Nicholas insisted it was worth the $7/day soak price...

Nicholas and I hit the road for a mini getaway. We started heading east on I-90 and didn't stop until we hit Glacier National Park. It was a quick, easy, and relaxing road trip full of Montana wildlife and pleasant happenings. I don't
want to say that the highlight of the trip was catching the bison taking a crap on camera, but it might have been

let's get mystical
|Chrysoprase pet rock necklace
It's true. Pet rock necklaces have the power to change you in ways you wouldn't believe...especially when they'reimbued with the mystical properties of various rocks and minerals. Who is the behind these bundles of happiness, confidence, and prosperity, you ask? Why Ms. Darbie Nowatka of Field Guide Design.
I purchased the above Chrysoprase necklace as a graduation gift for Catherine. Not only does it encourage prosperity and success, but it also "protects against negative energies and facilitates happiness." You can see it right there on the card that comes with the necklace. Believe me, Catherine needs all the protection against negative energies she can get. No offense, sister, but you're constantly inundated with that stuff. I hope you're wearing this necklace like every single day.
But if you're not surrounded by Negative Nellies, there are definitely other pet rock options.
|So many lovely choices!

Juno. Gold. Omaha. Utah. Sword.
When Dawn was visiting, we discovered that we had oh-so-many things in common. One unexpected delight was
that we both have an extreme love of miniatures. So, when Dawn suggested we buy a large bag of toy soldiers
I was not only supportive, I was giddy.

Just so happens we decided to head to the beach to play war. Thus leading to a post which bears the code names of
the beaches of Normandy as a title. Also, it reminds me of We Have Always Lived in the Castle: Melody. Gloucester. Pegasus. If you haven't read that book yet, you should. It's not about WWII--I may have created that misdirection. Anyway, you can learn more about it on Christine's post highlighted above (which by the way really cracks her up).

darling deerface
|Little Bear Giclee Print
I'd like you to meet Devon Smith, the artist behind the darling Deerface. (Psst...I added the darling because she is!) This is a brief sampling of her illustrative work. Pretty pretty, right? I love how all the girls look either really petulant or really suspicious. And isn't petulant an excellent word? Petulant. Pet-u-lant. Sorry. This is how I amuse myself.

paint-by-number love
OK, I realize that paint-by-numbers now carry some hipster stigma, but I still love them. I have several paint-by-numbers on display in my apartment, and even though they contribute heftily to my kitschy, cluttered, Victorian-era spinster aunt vibe, I refuse to remove them from their places of honor. All that being said, these paint-by-numbers have been perfectly integrated into a clean and modern design. No spinster aunts here, just quirky and bright conversation pieces.
Who is the architect of these fine paint-by-number transformations? Janet Lee, author of Living in a Nutshell. Her new book is dedicated entirely to occupying, decorating, and thriving in small spaces. Don't mind if I do, Ms. Lee.

Golden corgi
Nicholas' birthday was towards the end of July and because he loves corgis so much, I decided to make a special topper for his birthday key lime pie. I didn't just stop at a corgi topper. I went ahead and made toppers out of the whole wild kingdom. Take a look and maybe you'll be inspired to make your own gilded toppers. If you are so inspired, I included an easy-to-follow tutorial.

Maya and I went walking a few weeks ago and came across a pile of old gravestones. Some were broken, some were mostly pristine. It was a mystery! But we picked up a couple chunks to use as bookends, and we made some tentative plans to return with my truck and load up as many gravestones as possible for the most amazing patio gravestone mosaic. I need to check the weight limits on my truck bed and get back there before someone discovers our secret cache!

Visitors from afar.
I recently had a week of visitors, well two visitors split up this last week. Ben's mom who traveled south from Washington to have some birthday fun, and Dawn made the trek (she flew, she didn't actually trek) from Austin, Texas.
Here is a peek of the fun times we had via instagram. Yea fun!
Ben helped me sew a Happy Birthday banner for his mom out of felt.
We used this to stage a fun little birthday party at Disneyland with party hats, pom-poms, and all that's good.
We saw some men climbing the Matterhorn, they are the little blurry red dots way up at the top.

Wingels crashed the net and scored what turned out to be decisive goal 5:11 into the third period to give San Jose a 3-1 advantage.
The Sharks outshot the Blue Jackets 19-4 in the final period to secure their second victory in three games heading into a 20-day break during the Sochi Games.
Patrick Marleau and John McCarthy also scored.
Antti Niemi turned aside 19-of-21 shots to earn the win.
Ryan Johansen scored his 24th of the season and Boone Jenner added a third-period goal for Columbus, which dropped a second straight.
Sergei Bobrovsky made 44 saves.

Citi Agrees to Record HK Office Buy
The US lender has bought a new $700 million tower block in Hong Kong's Kowloon district, described by realtors as the largest single office transaction ever undertaken in the former British territory.
The new purchase will offer Citi staff a panoramic vista of Hong Kong's Victoria harbor with views of the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal and the planned Kai Tak Metro Park.
The new building will house most of Citi's five thousand staff in Hong Kong who are currently dotted around the city in locations varying from a plum address in the heart of the financial district to satellite offices elsewhere.
Citi's big bet on Hong Kong comes as rival regional financial hubs grow in prominence, led by Shanghai, where China's government is pushing a new free trade zone to grow the city as a banking centre. Singapore too continues to battle Hong Kong for new business. Prominent business leaders in Hong Kong, including the likes of Charles Li, chief executive of the city's bourse, have urged the city to lift its game if it is to stay ahead of the pack and continue to lure global business.
For Citi, Hong Kong is one of the bank's biggest markets in Asia and generates over one billion dollars in revenues annually. The bank paid HK$5.425 billion in a sale and purchase agreement with Wheelock Properties Limited for the East Tower at One Bay East in Kowloon East. The 21 story tower is currently under development, with completion slated by the end of 2015.
"Our decision to purchase the East Tower of One Bay East underlines our belief and confidence in Hong Kong's continued growth as a leading global financial centre and hub for some of our core regional businesses," Stephen Bird, chief executive officer for Citi in Asia Pacific said in a statement.
The new development is described as a twin tower grade-A waterfront office block, with a total gross floor area of around 1,025,000 square feet.
CBRE Group Inc. acted as advisor on the office sale.

And finally, through the love of a good woman, teenage, sexist me was slain. #nomorepage3 pic.twitter.com/pjNPzN5I1n
— Russell Brand (@rustyrockets) January 16, 2014
Russell Brand has thrown his support behind a campaign to ban pictures of topless women from U.K. newspapers.
The "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" star is supporting the No More Page 3 drive, named after the infamous third page feature in Britain's The Sun which has included snaps of semi-naked models since 1970.
Brand has revealed he was introduced to the campaign by his girlfriend, writer and activist Jemima Khan, and he posted a picture of himself holding a T-shirt emblazoned with the group's slogan on Twitter, adding, "Finally, through the love of a good woman, teenage, sexist me was slain. No more Page 3… Thank Jemima Khan for the wake up call."
The funny man's backing has drawn mixed reactions from some of the initiative's supporters, with many criticizing the star over his womanizing past, but campaigner Lucy-Anne Holmes hopes Brand can help raise awareness.
In a blog for the Huffington Post, she writes, "I'm not saying here I agree with all Russell Brand does or says, he's definitely done things that I wouldn't be able to align myself with at all… (But) he's quite brilliantly placed to communicate the dangers of a media, which offers one gender up as bodies to be consumed and judged by the other, in a witty and accessible way that could reach millions.
"Some people have said he can't change and have not welcomed him speaking out, I can understand this, but I can't join them. Surely what we're doing here is raising awareness in the hope that people will change."

People laughed! Some doubted? But all who were at the Open Day in October had to admit it is a fabulous success, and working far faster than we thought possible. What has amazed us is the speed at which the stalactites have grown and the simplicity of our machinery. It would certainly seem we have pulled the rug from under those who criticised our "Time's Up Darwin" DVD section on stalactites, claiming 'bridge stalactites are not the same as cave stalactites and we only mentioned water and lime and failed to mention CO2 which is why the cave 'tites grow ever so slow.

NEW FINDS A BLESSING as recent trip to Kingaroy in Southern Queensland, peanut capital of the world (they boast), also produced the spectacular finds on this page Years ago a gem collector noticed some great fossils on one of his trips but couldn't quite remember where it was in the general Kingaroy region. So using his Mud Map and praying the Lord might raise up locals to help us along the way we started – several hours of phone calls, conversations, meetings, lunches and we were there. The results were great.
Not only did we find some great purple amethysts (above) washed down in recent flooding in Queensland, but we tracked down the original fossil beds which are part of the old Esk Formation, ( which we have previously investigated elsewhere ) and which on this trip produced the spectacular tree fern (below) which is even more wonderful evidence that Gods word is true/ Even those who claim these Triassic rocks are up to 200 million years old, are absolutely flabbergasted by the evidence that shows tree ferns have turned into tree ferns and evolution is made again a laughing stock one more time. All of which illustrated a point we make time and time again – God does not expect you to believe the Bible in order to make it true! He expects you to believe what he has said in his Word because it is true!!. He did create and he did make both the plants and the animals and all living creatures to produce after their own kind.

MESOSAUR slide show
Mesosaurs are fossils of extinct reptiles. So far they have been found only in south Africa (Namibia), and Eastern South America (Brazil, Uraguay and Paraguay). Most commercial specimens come from the Irati formation, Sao Mateus del Sol, in Brazil. Three Mesosaurs are part of our Creation Research collection. They are extremely well preserved and two of them are entwined in death.
For full text and more details scroll down page or for slide show summary.
All photos on this page are © copyright Creation Research and are not to be used without written permission.
|1. They range in size from about 40cm to a maximum 2m long, but very few small or juvenile Mesosaur fossils are known.
|2. Their skeletons are usually enclosed in fine grained, thin layered (or varved) sediments such as shales.
|3. No stomach contents have been detected to date, but well preserved needle sharp teeth are interpreted as meaning either they used their teeth to sieve their food or fed on fish.
|4. The skeletons of Mesosaurs are found in great abundance and mostly in an excellent state of preservation, which means many individuals were rapidly buried together in catastrophic event/s. The small number of juvenile Mesosaur fossils is usually interpreted to mean either a vicious current has sorted creatures by size, or the viciousness of the catastrophic event has totally disintegrated juveniles.
|5. The fully articulated skeletons indicate very rapid burial in anaerobic conditions where even bloating of the skeleton can't occur, due to both the rapid and deep burial as well as the resulting inability decomposing bacteria to function.
|6. Most skeletons are tummy down, but a few are upside down with rarely skull and neck on its side. The absence or orientation is consistent with massive turbidity currents.
|7. Several causes of sudden mass death have been suggested ranging from toxic volcanic emissions combined with catastrophic storm/s or continental size earthquakes causing huge underwater landslides and turbidity flow over
vast regions .
|8. The skeletons at Rio Grandosul however are orientated in the same direction as fossilized pine trunks found in the bed -in a general north south direction.
Therefore both the Mesosaur skeletons and tree trunks were transported together with a huge volume of sedimentary material in the direction of massive current produced by great storm/s activity.
|9. A few skeletons show some breakage and bone scattering, but no evidence of erosional wear. If the skeleton bloated and floated to the surface then it would shed bones from the one animal over quite a distance.
|10. The 2 Mesosaurs in this block are fossilised one around the other.
11. The fossil head shows no sign of bone disintegration or separation from the neck vertebrae- a sure sign of rapid burial and preservation.
|12. Note the second head just visible under the top skeleton.
13. Some Mesosaur skeletons are in parts but show no sign of wear and tear by erosion, so it has been suggested this has been caused by their being gentle distorted by the increasing pressure of the accumalating still soft and moving sediment.
|14. Look at the edge of the slab and note the alternate dark and light layers. These are called varves.
|15. Varves are usually interpreted as each pair representing a year passing. Light layer for winter (little plant matter) dark for summer (much plant growth)
|16. This cannot be true in this case as even the Mesosaur limb goes through many layers. The Mesosaur took many years to be buried, it's limb bones would have fallen apart. The varves can only represent alternate current deposites.
|17. Mesosaurs have played an interesting role in the theory of Continental Drift. In 1915 Wegener used their fossils to try and tie the continents
together. Wegner claimed that since Mesosaur fossils are found only in eastern South America and western Africa, they are evidence of a once common continent, rather than the previous explanation of a vast land bridge between Africa and South America that had sunk out of sight.
|18. Mesosaur fossils appear suddenly in the fossil record, and disappear equally suddenly, and their fossils show no sign of evolution during their
existence. They certainly occur in layers that were rapidly formed under such catastrophic conditions that pine logs had been violently removed from
the land by water, then dumped and buried along with the Mesosaurs by a vast moving flood current full of mud. Therefore the evidence from Mesosaurs
cannot be used to prop up the theory of vast amounts of time being preserved in rock layers. Mesosaur deposits are another good example of there being plenty of theories and opinions about evolution which disagree with the Biblical picture of creation and Noahs flood - when the facts don't disagree with the Bibles record at all.

The environment is dealt with under a section on the 'Low Carbon Economy'.
- Read the full speech here
Built on the national development plan, it shows a clear move to embracing low-carbon growth. "The development plan further calls on government to send a signal to industry and consumers that we are living in an environmentally stressed world," said Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan.
He immediately dealt with all the speculation around the carbon tax. In last year's budget he announced that it would be coming with this budget. But this has been put back to 2015.
"Government proposes to price carbon by way of a carbon tax at the rate of R120 per tonne of CO2 equivalent, effective from January 1 2015," he said.
To soften the impact of this tax, a tax-free threshold of 60% of a company's emissions would be set. Further allowances would be made for companies that reduced their emissions and those that were trade-exposed, he said. These recommendations are the same as the ones made in a 2010 discussion paper on the tax.
An updated version of this will be published by the end of March for further consultation, he said.
To ensure fuel production is also more environmentally friendly, Gordhan said support mechanisms for biofuel production and upgrading of oil refineries would also be introduced.
Renewable energy
Government funding for other environmental programmes would continue. This included the installation of solar water geysers, procuring renewable energy, low carbon public transport, cleaning up of derelict mines, and addressing acid mine drainage.
He gave special mention to rhinos, which get R75-million in the mid-term. "Government continues to direct spending towards saving our rhino population, who remain under threat," he said.
The initial R800-million for the Green Fund would be topped-up with an additional R300-million. This comes after 590 applications were received for the first phase of this funding.
"We are also encouraging the private sector and smaller public entities to be creative and develop low-carbon projects through the Green Fund," he said.
Overall, the department of environmental affairs is to receive R1.2-billion over the spending period. This includes R344-million for the oceans and coast research programme and R390-million for South African National Parks "to improve infrastructure and equipment".
This would all aid job creation. "Environmental programmes funded by the department will continue to be an integral part of the government's public employment strategy," said Gordhan.
Problematic time period
Harald Winkler, of the energy research centre at the University of Cape Town, said the announcement of a time period for the carbon tax was necessary.
But it was also problematic given that in the previous budget the time period given was for the tax to start this year, so how could that number be trusted, he said.
"I am disappointed that it has not come in this financial year," he said. "This is not a new idea. It started in 2004 and we had the first discussion document in 2010. At some point it requires bold leadership from the treasury to say the tax is happening now," he said.
He did say an important proposal was the one to phase out the electricity levy on non-renewable sources of electricity, which currently stands at 3.5c/kWh. This will effectively be replaced by the carbon tax, but will broaden the tax to other sectors, he said.
The R300-million extra for the Green Fund was "substantial" but in context not that much.
"It is still a tiny fraction of the investment in electricity supply, coal haulage to Richards bay or other parts of the infrastructure programme," he said.
Last Friday the Chinese ministry of finance published a statement detailing tax reforms it was undertaking. This included efforts to "improve and implement tax policy to support energy conservation, environmental protection and comprehensive utilisation of resources".
It promises to "actively promote environmental tax reform" and bring "carbon dioxide emissions into the scope of the collection".
No price has been announced, but the ministry suggested in 2010 that the tax could be around R14 per tonne of carbon dioxide, increasing to R70 by 2020. In the United States a proposal for a $20 a tonne is currently standing before the senate. This works out at around R180 a tonne.

NJ man killed 2 in Pkwy crash
NEW BRUNSWICK – A northern New Jersey man who allegedly drove the wrong way on the Garden State Parkway has been charged with causing a crash that left two people dead.
Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew Carey announced Friday that 26-year-old Andrew Frazell of Newton has been charged with two counts of vehicular homicide.
Investigators say Frazell was driving the wrong way on an entrance ramp to the Parkway in Woodbridge on Thursday night around 11 p.m. when he crashed his 2005 Jeep Liberty head-on into the other vehicle.
Both victims were pronounced dead at the scene.
Frazell was being held at the Middlesex County Adult Corrections Center on $300,000 bail. It wasn't immediately known if he had retained an attorney.

This is a redesign of an existing site. Like our other contests, please no beginners. We encourage only those to participate who have won before or have been the top runners for winning a design contest. We will not post feedback on designs that don't stand a chance. Winner selected has a very strong chance of consistent work from one of LA's top design agencies. Thanks, Good luck!
Current site warmyourfloor.com please see site for overview of company and current design
Redesign the site into a clean, modern, yet professional look (doesnt everyone say that now :) ). Reintegrate all of the current sites content into the redesign.
Design should be for 1024 x 768, so 980px wide.
Inspiration from other sites (the 3 sites below arent great designs at all, more or less, they are competitors people in the same industry):
http://www.nuheat.com not too flashy, clean but a bit on the dated side
http://www.thermosoft.com - competitor busy but an idea.
http://www.suntouchmats.com the navigational structure for the products (images with few information at first, and then dig-in to more specifics).
Details of the specifics of look and feel of the website are left up to the designer. However, the site must reflect the themes and colors of the product being sold (floor warming products). The site must match the logo in terms of colors (oranges, whites, light browns, yellows).
New logo to be used could be found here - http://www.brainoverload.com/warmyo…r/logo.pdf
The home page should have an emphasis on driving customers to the appropriate product. For example, there are two basic types of customers:
The customers that know what specific product they want. These customers should be able to type their product name, or product ID number into the search bar, and instantly get what they want.
The customers that are unsure of what product they want. These customers should be encouraged to purchase Suntouch Mat and NuHeat Mat products (since they have the highest profitability) but also be able to navigate the site easily and ultimately find the product they are comfortable with.
The e-commerce should have a drill down scheme. Drill down being the customers gets to go from broad choices (brands, products) to increasingly specific (sizes, prices), rather than being presented all the information at once.
The logo has been designed by the client, and has already been provided. The look and feel of the site should match that of the logo. http://www.brainoverload.com/warmyo…r/logo.pdf
The sites text content and e-commerce system will be migrated from MC (MonsterCommerce) which the site currently uses to the new design and e-commerce system.
Design Elements:
10 second flash intro, somewhere on the site, prominently displayed. The look of the flash movie should match the look and feel of the site. Possibly positioned in the header. Please design the first frame / idea of the flash for where you intend it to be.
The design that follows is what is currently on the website, but it MUST be changed. The designer is free to use whatever parts of the site they feel work for the design, but on the same hand, the site can be radically different from what it currently is.
The homepage must clearly convey that there are two ways to shop: by product type and by product brand name. Furthermore, there can be a breakdown of interior vs. exterior products.
The following is the old structure of the site. At the very least, the Global Navigation must remain in some fashion. The rest of the tables can be changed, moved around, resized, reshaped, and edited at the designers discretion so long as they follow the above guidelines:
Global Navigation Menu
Products Table
Education Table
Center Table (displaying all information)
Please see a sample wireframe here (keep in mind, that you dont have to follow this style at all, it may just help with direction) - http://www.brainoverload.com/warmyo…eframe.jpg
The elements of the Global Navigation Menu are:
About Us
My Account
Contact us
View Cart
Check Out
The Products Table displays product images for the main products that warmyourfloor.com is trying to sell. SunTouch products should be prominently displayed here.
The Education table displays links to more information about products available on warmyourfloor.com. This area should be made to be less confusing, possibly with more graphics and less text.
The Center Table displays the information and products based on what the user has selected. Once again the idea is to minimize clutter to the user and to present all products and information in a concise manner.
Good luck!

Sarah Palin Leads Latest Iowa 2012 Republican Presidential Polling
Posted by Gary P Jackson on January 29, 2010
The latest poll, courtesy of Republican Rankings shows Sarah Palin leading the field of possible candidates for the 2012 Republican presidential primary:
Sarah Palin…………31.41
Mike Huckabee…..30.03
Mitt Romney………26.34
Tim Pawlenty……….8.94
Newt Gingrich………2.05
John Thune…………..1.33
This comes on the heels of the just released Newsmax-Zogby poll that has Sarah leading all comers nationally for the Republican nomination.
In the accompanying Newsmax article, Dick Morris is quoted as saying the winner of the 2012 Republican nomination will be the next President of the United States. This is assuming, of course, that Barack Obama is the democrat/communist party nominee, which, with his performance so far, is not a sure bet by any means.
This polling shows a continuing trend. Sarah Palin is solidly cementing her position as front runner 2012. Her continued hard work and strong vision for America is what has more and more Americans looking toward her for leadership in these troubled times.
Of course, her writings, such as this don't hurt a bit!

Last week I brought home a new item that I've never tried before from the produce section at Whole Foods: An orange flesh melon. I mentioned its purchase in this blog post, and shortly thereafter, a buddy who posts comments under a pseudonym posted this comment: "MMMMMM. Flesh Melons." His goal, when he comments, is to make me laugh, and this one did the trick (most of them do, actually). Seventh-grade titty humor gets me every time! Since then, every morning when I saw the orange flesh melon sitting on my counter (it needed to ripen), my mind went straight to the gutter, and I tried to come up with a stupid pun or double entendre, along the lines of "David got kicked out of Whole Foods for squeezing other customers' flesh melons." Stupid dirty jokes aren't a bad way to start the day. You should try it sometime!
Yesterday, the flesh melon seemed plenty ripe – time to dig in! Here's the melon:
See? An orange flesh melon!
After I bought it, I did some research on the interwebs and learned that the orange flesh melon is a hybrid between a cantaloupe and a honeydew. The orange flesh is (obviously) a trait inherited from the cantaloupe side of the family tree, while the taste and rind comes from the honeydew side. It's also smaller than both cantaloupes and honeydews… although I don't know if that's true of all orange flesh melons, or just the batch that were at Whole Foods when I was there shopping.
Time to crack this sucker open!
The suspense is killing me! Is the flesh really going to be orange?
YES, IT IS! I scooped out the seeds, and gave it a taste:
Delicious! It's kinda bizarre, actually – I'm so accustomed to orange melon tasting like cantaloupe, but the interwebs was accurate – this orange flesh melon tasted just like a honeydew. It was sweet and perfectly ripe, and I felt like I was getting punked by some farmers somewhere with every bite.
It didn't stop me from eating half of it in a matter of minutes, though:
The other half is sitting in my fridge – it'll be part of my breakfast tomorrow!
One more double entendre: "Joanie always felt a little insecure about the size of her flesh melons, but still liked showing them off in the checkout line."
A couple links before I wrap this post up.
1) This morning, my mom emailed me to gave me a heads up that they were making kale chips on "Down Home with the Neelys" on Food Network. Since my mom lives three times zones ahead of me, I was able to tune in a little while later and watch for myself. It's basically the same recipe that I used in my recent kale chips post, with one notable addition: Gina Neely sprinkled brown sugar on them after they came out of the oven. She said they counterbalanced the kale, since kale is naturally a little bitter. Brown sugar on kale doesn't sound appealing to me at all – and, as my mom pointed out, it didn't really stick to the kale anyway. But if you're looking for a way to sweeten up your kale chips, give it a whirl! You can find the recipe here.
2) Do any of you read Jack Sh*t, Gettin' Fit? Jack is a really wonderful weight loss blogger who uses humor to motivate himself and others, and he's really funny. He does a really inspiring recurring post called W.I.D.T.H (Why I Do This Here), where other bloggers and readers share, via photograph, the reasons why losing weight and/or healthy living are so important to them. Guess what? Yours truly is featured in this week's W.I.D.T.H. post! You can check it out here, and, while you're there, look around on Jack Sh*t's site – I bet you'll enjoy it!
Keep it up, David!

Make a deposit of faith when finding a home for your money
Moving your money out of a big bank and into a credit union is creative, Catholic, and prudent.
By Rose Marie Berger, a Sojourners associate editor and author of Who Killed Donte Manning? (Apprentice House)
[Sounding Boards are one person's take on a many-sided subject and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of U.S. Catholic, its editors, or the Claretians.]
Please take the survey that follows this essay.
I remember when I got my first savings account pass book. I was about 8 years old. My Dad took me to the local branch of Wells Fargo Bank in Sacramento and the bank manager explained how a savings account worked—and I had my first hint of the high math of "compound interest." She gave me my little blue passbook with embossed gold lettering and showed me where to sign my name.
Most of my deposits were money accumulated from birthday gifts, allowances, and chores. I felt proud to save this money. I was excited to put it in the Lenten milk-carton collections for children in Africa or for the homeless; happy to make my addition to the collection basket at Mass. My money was helping people—my family, my church, and people who needed help.
When I moved to Washington, D.C. in 1986, I opened an account at a D.C.-based bank with a branch a few blocks from where I lived. But, over the course of 20 years, that bank was bought by Bank of America. I switched to another regional bank, but it was bought by Wachovia. A few years ago, Wachovia was bought out by Wells Fargo. But it wasn't the same Wells Fargo I had grown up with.
Until the 1980s, U.S. banks served three basic functions: security for money, to facilitate payment for goods or services (checks, credit cards, wire transfers), and extend credit. By law they were limited to operating within their state of incorporation and barred from investment banking and speculative trading. Policies kept banks responsible to local communities and businesses, which created a generative circle of strengthening local economies. It was a stable system. Between 1940 and 1980, there were fewer than 260 bank failures, compared to more than 2,800 in the years since.
The Reagan-era rush to deregulate successfully chipped away at the policies that made this system work. The coup d'état came in 1999 when Congress overturned the Glass-Steagall Act. For the first time since the Great Depression, commercial banking and speculative investment banking could take place under the same roof. Big banks could create the conditions for an international financial crisis with no regulator big enough to stop them. Within 10 years we were back into a Great Recession, local economies were failing, and we were sliding downward.
In 2009, Wells Fargo merged with Wachovia to create a "superbank" with $1.4 trillion in assets and 48 million customers. Along with Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Ally Financial, and Citigroup, Wells Fargo stole the homes and life savings of hundreds of thousands of Americans through forging documents. It's also been found guilty of charging a higher interest to African-American and Hispanic home buyers and lying to customers to secure subprime loan agreements.
Additionally, Wells Fargo is the second largest investor in the GEO Group, one of the top three owners of private prisons in America. This year Wells Fargo plans expansion into 20 countries in Europe and Asia. In my estimation, it's one of the financial institutions whose cancerous greed drove America's economy off a cliff, while providing its CEOs with a platinum parachute for safe escape.
As a Catholic and as an American, I was not happy with Wells Fargo. Finally, last year, I again moved my money, this time to Lafayette Federal Credit Union.
I love Lafayette. It's local. It's half a block from work. Charlotte, the branch manager, knows my name. Sometimes, they even have a candy dish with peppermints. It's a financial institution where I actually prefer to go inside and talk to the teller, rather than simply use the ATM. I enjoy talking to the neighbors and catching up on local news. And it pays better.
Believe me, the move wasn't easy. In the age of "e-money"—direct deposit, bill pay, online banking, ATMs, etc.—it is difficult to untangle the many wires that run through one person's bank account. There were multiple waiting periods and possible fines, but when finally the deed was done I was much happier.
I had an "exit interview" with the Wells Fargo bank manager. I wasn't forced to sit down and talk with him, but I took advantage of the invitation. I listed all the reasons I thought big banks were acting as an unregulated scourge across the American economy and that Wells Fargo had just been convicted of practicing its own form of "red lining." I told him that credit unions were on the upswing and were hiring—maybe he could get a job with one of them! He made a few notes and politely—and swiftly—ushered me out of his office.
One of the first questions to ask when assessing one's own financial social responsibility is: How quickly does my dollar leave my neighborhood? Or as one community organizer put it: How many of your neighbors' hands does your money pass through before it leaves your immediate community? Generally speaking, the bigger the financial corporation, the quicker your dollar exits.
Credit unions, as we know them today, originated in Europe in the 1800s as financial self-help cooperatives among small business owners and farmers in particular locales, geared toward providing for and protecting their economic sovereignty. Many of them were started by Catholics and were based on principles of Catholic Social Teaching. For example, both St. Anthony Claret (1807-1870)--founder of the Claretians, who publish this magazine--and Franciszek Stefczyk (1861–1924) worked in rural areas to establish credit unions among poor farmers. Both wanted famers to own their farms and market their own crops, and they understood that one's financial health was intimately connected with one's family and local community. Stefczyk's community organizations were intended to be "schools of character" for enhancing human dignity and stabilizing local communities.
As immigrant Catholics brought credit unions to America, they became organized around seven principles that reflect Catholic teaching: 1) voluntary membership, 2) democratic governance, 3) member control of capital, 4) autonomy and independence, 5) education of members and public in cooperative principles, 6) cooperation between cooperatives, and 7) concern for the local community. Most credit unions today are still built around these principles.
"If love is wise," wrote Pope Benedict in his 2009 encyclical Charity in Truth, "it can find ways of working in accordance with provident and just expediency, as is illustrated in a significant way by much of the experience of credit unions."
The bottom line for a good credit union is that it exists to help people, not make a profit. For example, I became a member of my new credit union when I bought a $50 share. When members make deposits into various accounts, funds are pooled together. Then the funds are lent to other members at reasonable, lower interest rates.
As a not-for-profit institution, credit unions do not have stock holders whose votes are weighted by the amount of stock they own. Credit unions are democratic, one member-one vote institutions.
My credit union hosts a financial literacy center, is a member of the Credit Union National Association, and generates tens of thousands of dollars for the Capital Area Food Bank. According to the Credit Union National Association rate index, credit unions on average pay higher interest than banks on personal savings and checking accounts and charge lower interest on credit cards and loans.
In Charity in Truth, Pope Benedict reminds us that "grave imbalances are produced when economic action, conceived merely as an engine for wealth creation, is detached from political action, conceived as a means for pursuing justice through redistribution." In other words, when governments don't properly regulate markets, then those same governments can't ensure that their citizens are adequately provided for.
Are all credit unions created equal? Of course not.
Some credit unions have minimized their investment in local communities. Some may not invest according to an aggressive social screen. Some have taken on more corporate customers or increased real estate lending portfolios, both of which expose them to broader market risks. Additionally, small banks and credit unions provide only basic financial services and don't have high-end bells and whistles. And they often aren't as convenient when it comes to online banking or ATMs (though this is changing rapidly).
One advantage of big banks is, well, they're big—as in geographically spread out. If you move often, then it might be difficult to maintain relationships with a local bank. And if you regularly transfer money to accounts outside of your bank—and especially outside the U.S.—you'll find big banks can accommodate this more smoothly.
If you consider moving your money from a big bank to a local bank, credit union, or other community development financial institution (CDFI), here are some questions to ask: Where do you invest customers' funds? Did you take bailout money? Do you sell your loans or hold them? What social screens do you have on your loans? How do you use your profit? What are your requirements for membership? Do you participate in "credit pools" or "shared banking" and with whom? Depending on the answers, you can decide whether the financial institution reflects the values you want to promote.
My next financial step is to establish long-term savings in CDFIs, which specifically target underserved populations and allow me to direct my "interest" toward particular needs such as inner-city education, low-income housing, environmental protection, and micro-loans for women.
The U.S. Catholic population is currently about 77.7 million, just under 1 in 4 Americans. If every Catholic family moved its money from a big bank to a credit union—as an act of Catholic public witness—we could both stabilize our economy and evangelize for our church. There may even be a Catholic credit union near you.
I no longer have a savings passbook and my tithing isn't though a Lenten milk carton, but my money is once again helping people. And that's what money should be about—building strong relationships in the service and love of God. What's your money doing?

"There is nothing new under the sun." The oft-quoted saying from the book of Ecclesiastes is especially true of John Edwards' well-intentioned but misguided "poverty tour." Edwards' proposals to help the poor are nothing more than a remix of Franklin Roosevelt's "New Deal" and Lyndon Johnson's "War on Poverty" and, like those previous initiatives, miss the mark.
Government wealth redistribution schemes, larger labor unions, and expanded government social programming have never helped the poor in the past and will continue to fail the truly disadvantaged in the future.
Raising the minimum wage does not help the poor over the long term. It is emotionally comforting to assume that arbitrary wage inflations will give the poor more cash but, in fact, the economics don't work that way.
James Sherk of the Heritage Foundation reminds us of three important truths. First, the only workers who benefit from a higher minimum wage are those who actually earn that higher wage. A higher minimum wage causes employers to cut back on both the number of workers they hire and their employees' working hours, which reduces overall job opportunities for the poor.
Second, few minimum-wage earners actually come from poor households. The beneficiaries of higher minimum wages are unlikely to be poor because most minimum-wage earners are not poor — they tend instead to be groups such as suburban teens. Third, the poorest of Americans do not work at all, for any wage, so raising the minimum wage does not help them. The raise actually guarantees that the truly disadvantaged remain unemployable. Sherk reports that each 10 percent increase in the minimum wage reduces employment in affected groups of workers by roughly two percent. Thus, raising the minimum wage to $7.25 an hour could cause at least eight percent of affected workers to lose their jobs in the long run. Real wages rise when there is a proliferation of free enterprise creating greater competition between employers for low skilled labor.
Labor unions don't help the truly disadvantaged either. America's labor unions exist to promote their own protectionist interests instead of the interests of the unskilled, common man. Labor unions love minimum wage increases because they make unskilled labor too expensive for employers. As a result, says Sherk, skilled labor becomes more attractive, potentially raising the earnings of union members by 20 to 40 percent as they compete with minimum wage workers for jobs. In the long run, non-union, low-skilled workers' earnings actually fall due to reduced working hours and fewer job opportunities. This explains why many minimum wage workers rarely have jobs allowing 40 hours a week and why companies abandon low-income neighborhoods.
What kind of long-term help is that?
Finally, government cannot create one of the most critical ingredients in long-term poverty amelioration: responsible fathers. Responsible fathering is a moral issue. On what ground do politicians and government bureaucrats speak about responsible fathering? It's not mentioned in the Constitution. Are we left to glean principles from politicians' own behavior? In recent decades, we've had presidents cheat on their wives by dating actresses or commit sexual acts with interns. Additionally, many Congressmen engage in adulterous sex with staffers or hire prostitutes from D.C. streets and high-end "escort" services.
Responsible fatherhood is accomplished not by cash assistance but by a morally formed sense of integrity, responsibility, and character. No government program can develop a man's identity nor cultivate a disposition of life-long committed love, affection, and duty to his wife and kids. However, government can support fatherhood by ensuring conditions for the free operation of the intermediate institutions — families, churches, fraternal societies — that have historically and successfully formed men.
Government, on the other hand, can interfere with marriage and provide disincentives for fatherly responsibility, as demonstrated during America's experiment with pre-1996 welfare programs that subsidized, and therefore encouraged, fatherlessness.
While poverty tours can helpfully raise awareness of the problem, remixing failed ideologies does nothing more than guarantee more "poverty tours" among the same disadvantaged populations in the future.

implementation of important portions of the Windows API. Just like FreeRDP,
WinPR is released under the Apache license. Unlike Wine, WinPR does not provide
binary compatibility, and does not require applications to be built for
Windows. Instead, WinPR provides API compatibility for applications targeting
non-Windows environments. When on Windows, the original native API is being
used instead of the equivalent WinPR implementation, without having to modify
the code using it.

Towering above the corners of Aspen and San Francisco Streets,
The Hotel Monte Vista stands just off historic Route 66 as a true touchstone for all of Flagstaff and her citizens.
With the mountains and nearby canyon countries, The Hotel Monte Vista is your place to relax
while you explore all of the natural wonders Northern Arizona has to offer.
The Hotel Monte Vista remains the centerpiece for Historic Downtown Flagstaff.
Staying here can give you a true glimpse into the spirited lifestyle of the Great American West.
When tourism was on the rise during the mid-1920's, residents agreed Flagstaff needed first-class accommodations. Existing hotels were old and outmoded. Fundraising began in April of 1926 and within one month investments from prominent citizens and funds donated by novelist Zane Grey totaled approximately $200,000. Ground was broken on June 8, 1926.
Historically, The Monte Vista Cocktail Lounge was the first speakeasy in Flagstaff,
welcoming everyone from celebrities and law-breakers to skiers and river runners.
During prohibition, the Cocktail Lounge opened and was successfully running a major
bootlegging operation in the very same location as today!
Take advantage of the plethora of opportunities Flagstaff offers for the wild at heart.

After a bit of research about bicycle bells, I think Spurcycle is on to something with their custom-built bell.
There are THOUSANDS of bike bells — bells shaped like a teapot, ladybug bells, soccer bells, cartoon character bells, turtle bells, on and on. Mostly they're dirt cheap.
So what is it about the bell that we find so alluring? I knew just where to go – the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics on Arastradero Road.
After a few phone calls I found a world-renowned authority who would talk to me. He's Dr. Gotthis Bellrung, a Finnish acoustics researcher who has spent his life studying bells and the sounds they make.
Q. What is it about the sound a bell makes that people find so compelling?
A. It's primordial, no doubt. We are bathed in sound from birth. Sound is analog, carried on waves of energy much like waves in the sea. Over the eons humans have evolved to appreciate sound waves with pleasing acoustic qualities, and there is nothing more sonorous than the sound of a ringing bell.
Bell sounds are predominantly associated with happy occasions or situations – church bells, jingle bells, door bells, even cow bells. Is it any wonder Blue Oyster Cult needed more cowbell in their famous song "Don't Fear the Reaper?"
Q. Dr. Bellrung, a bicycle bell has a unique sound about it. Why is that?
A. You would have to ask John Richard Dedicoat, inventor of the bicycle bell in 1877. He had a knack for designing with springs and a keen ear. His pencil-sharpening machine wasn't half bad either.
It's the clarity of the bell ring that makes bike bells so distinctive. There's octave equivalency, which happens to appeal to the neurons in your auditory thalamus. Our brain's neural network enjoys pitched notes.
Q. Can the bell sound be changed based on its contour?
A. Sure. Bells have distinctive sounds based on their shape. We refer to bell science as campanology. It's really quite complicated. Bell sounds can be altered by the kind of material, the shape of the bell, the size and shape of the clapper and the depth of the bowl.
There's an in-depth article on the acoustics of bells you can read online.
If you're in India you can take a course at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur on the bicycle bell.
There is no shortage of interest in this fascinating subject.

Salaam and Greetings of Peace:
In our Sister Suroor's recent and lovely post about men, I commented that everything I know of love, I learned from women; my mother, my daughter, and my wife. This is absolutely true. And more, all that I comprehend of God's love and mercy, I have learned from love; and even that small fraction of His infinite bounty has its root within my heart in the endless kindness and patience and endurance and generosity of women.
My mother was the kindest, gentlest soul I have even known. I cannot think of even one instance where she considered her own needs before that of her children. I wish I could say the same for myself. My daughter is remarkable. Smart and funny, tall and lovely, in whose company I take great delight. Every man should have such an honest critic :) And my beloved wife embodies all of those attributes, and many, many more.
So here's to the women in our lives. May we be worthy of them.
Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are — chaff and grain together — certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.

(Lycopersicon lycopersicum) Indeterminate. Heirloom. If we could only grow one tomato, it would likely be this one! This old Cherokee Indian heirloom is a beefsteak type that yields large tomatoes with a gorgeous purple/rose skin, green shoulders and dark red flesh.
The flavor is rich and juicy with just the right amount of sweetness. Each tomato weighs about 10-12 oz.

Planting Instructions:
Tomatoes are many people's favorite garden vegetable and no garden is complete without them. To get the most out of these delicious heirloom tomatoes, start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. Be sure to keep the temperature above 70 degrees and water regularly. A seed heating mat can be very helpful for germinating tomato seeds. Sow outside 1-2 weeks before average last frost and when soil temperatures are at least 60°F.
Provide tomato seedlings with plenty of light, either from a south-facing window or grow light overhead. Lack of adequate light will make seedlings leggy and weak.
When the second set of leaves, the first true leaves, appear, transplant your seedlings to individual pots and bury the stems deeper than they stood previously. Any part of the stem that is buried will produce additional roots that will help the plant grow strong and sturdy quickly.
Just prior to planting them in your garden, "harden them off" by bringing them outside during the daytime and for increasing hours, until you are leaving them out overnight. If frost is predicted, bring them indoors.
When transplanting tomatoes to the garden, make the planting holes larger than normal for each seedling (about twice the size of the roots) and amend the soil with compost. Tomatoes are heavy feeders and can also benefit from the addition of bonemeal and bloodmeal when planting. We also add a teaspoon of Epsom salts to each plant to provide magnesium, which helps promote vitality and productivity as well as reduce blossom end rot.
Additional Tips:
Fertilize on a regular basis. Early applications should be high in nitrogen. As blossoming occurs, switch to fertilizers that are higher in Phosphorus and Potassium. Too much Nitrogen at this point will result in lush green leaves, but little fruit.
Keep your tomato plant well watered. Deep watering is preferable, over more frequent, light watering. You want moisture to go deep to all the roots of the plant. Water directly to the roots. Keep water off the leaves if at all possible. Tomatoes are susceptible to plant diseases and pests that thrive in wet, humid conditions.
Tomato plants are vines, and they have two basic ways of growing: determinate and indeterminate. Determinate varieties grow to a certain size (usually 1' - 5') and then set all their fruit more or less at once. Determinate varieties may be a better choice for smaller gardens and containers. Because the fruit sets all at once, these are usually a great choice for canning. Indeterminate varieties are larger plants that grow and produce fruit continually until the first fall frost (up to 20' long vines!). Indeterminate varieties can be enjoyed all season provided they remain healthy and have enough nutrients. Pruning is recommended with indeterminate varieties to help the plant put more energy into producing fruit rather than vine production.
Harvest tomatoes when they are fully colored and firm. If you have a lot of green tomatoes near the end of the season, clip all the new blossoms and any undersized fruit off the plant. This will help to put all the plant's remaining energy into ripening what's left. Green tomatoes can also be brought inside to ripen indoors in a sunny window or used to make green tomato salsa, fried green tomatoes, and pickled green tomatoes.
Companion Plants:
Plant with borage, basil, carrots, celery, garlic, onions, parsley.
Hindered by corn, potatoes.
