DS9 Caption Contest 77; Fooling around
Apologies for the delay but I've been really busy with revision and exams. But that's over now so I can get back to these contests.
Now the winners from the last contest are;
I really couldn't decide who the clear winner was with this award, these two entries were that good!
On one hand we have...
While our photoshop winner is clearly...
And now here are five more pictures to sate your captioning needs!
Have fun!
Re: DS9 Caption Contest 77; Fooling around
Nerys: A threesome?
Dax: Two is always better than one I say.
O'Brien: Bloody itching powder!
Bashir: I never realised Morn was such a prankster.
Bashir: Forgive my friend Ezri here, she's narcoleptic.
Nog: Uncle, why are they all raising their middle fingers at us?
Quark: Perhaps it is some kind of gesture indicating they wish to commence business?
Kira: I swear to you captain this is NOT what it looks like!
Re: DS9 Caption Contest 77; Fooling around
Kira: A threesome?
Trill male: Six-some.
Dax: Actually, we were thinking about a seven-some.
Kira: Goodbye.
Few people know that Barcalay Protomorphisis Syndrome also spread to DS9. Here we see O'Brien and Bashir beginning to devolve into a chipmunk and a sloth.
Every week, the senior staff pretends to like Worf's poetry, and every week, they find it more and more difficult.
Quark: So what was your name again?
(Offscreen): Roddenberry. Second Lieutenant Gene Roddenberry. I'm in the Air Force.
Rom: Brother, what are you doing?
Quark: Call it instinct. I think if we can convince this man of the wonders of free enterprise, we can change all of Earth's history.
When Bashir heard what Kira was like in the alternate universe, he got a brilliant idea.
Re: DS9 Caption Contest 77; Fooling around
Thanks for the win!
Male Fan: When I demanded proof that the spots go all the way down... this is not what I had in mind!!! :thumbdown:
Somehow it was fitting that the Zombie Apocalypse started at Quark's...
O'brien: Hey.. Ezri passed out.
Bashir: What happened?
Quark: Oh sorry... I meant to put the roofie in Kira's drink.
Kira: Oh so you wanted to have your way with me Quark.... well now I'm going to have my way with you...
Quark: Oh hell.. if you need me I'll be in my storage room securing the ah... something.
Quark: No belief in the afterlife, belief that everyone should serve the state, no property, no acquisition of wealth...
Rom: These Soviets don't seem very nice.
Nog: I don't recall reading much of them from Earth's history. I remember some obscure reference in the short chapter titled Non-Western History.
Quark: Other than the whole torture and gulag thing, they seem very similar to the Federation hew-mons though.
Bashir: Oh yeah... we had a great time. Highly recommend the mirror universe, Commander. The Intendant can't say no.. if you know what I mean.
Re: DS9 Caption Contest 77; Fooling around
Kiki: You told them you were Flo from the Dominion Insurance commercials?
Daxy: My hickeys were fading.
Doctor: Ok so what you're saying is that with DS&9 we get the same old subspace that can get congested. Right? Buddy? <snap snap> This one can be slooooooooow....
Milestein: Why are you talking to me like that?
Doctor: Or there's this one, Trill Mobile, it's less likely to get slowed down because you get fifty percent more bandwidth, right? Ok, so that's <holds up fingers> FIFTY -
Milestein: Ok. We choose Trill Mobile.
Doctor: This one?
Milestein: Yea- that one, the one I pointed to.
Doctor: Do you see? The drunkard chose this one?
Milestein: Oh, we're gonna use that word. All right. Okay, let's go there. Wow.
Dukat: What's better, saving a bunch or not saving at all?
Group: A bunch!
Dukat: Ok. What would you buy with all this money you saved?
Kiki: I'd buy a change-o machine so I could change my Odo to a puppy.
Dukat: Couldn't you just buy an actual puppy?
Kiki: Yeah but if my Odo's a puppy I could bring him to Ops and say, "Hey everybody, here's my Odo-puppy!"
Dukat: Well when you say it like that it makes perfect sense.
Emissary of the Prophets: It's not complicated. Saving is better. Now at DS&9, trade up to iPhone 5000. Get it now for 9 bars of gold-pressed latinum when you trade in your current communicator.
Nogs: His personality is so magnetic, he is unable to carry credit cards.
Roms: He could disarm you with his looks - or his hands - either way.
Quirk: I don't always drink colored alien liquid - but when I do, I prefer green.
Kiki: With Actilvia, shine from the inside out -
Julie: Kill me now!
Re: DS9 Caption Contest 77; Fooling around
Thanks for the win! :techman:
Re: DS9 Caption Contest 77; Fooling around
Kira: So I said to him 'if you just keep doing the same 'change into something else' trick when I'm trying to have a serious conversation with you, Im gonna-'
Dax: Err.. Nerys..
Quark: Oh, errm.. Terribly sorry, we appear to have, errm..
Rom: Stumbled into the wrong room!
Quark: Yes, errm, we were just looking for the err.. Storage rooms for, err.... Something.. *coughs nervously*
Random guy: (off screen) Awkward
Re: DS9 Caption Contest 77; Fooling around
O'Brien: Hey, Dax, you're walking like a zombie this morning. Stay up with MORN last night?
Bashir: Oooooh *clicks fingers* you did not just say that, girlfriend!!!
O'Brien: Well wadya know? Quark finally got what he deserved.
Bashir: Mmm. Sooner or later Dax was bound to find out that Quark was spiking her drinks with hyvroxilated quint-ethyl metacetamin and stealing her tongo winnings.
Dax: (Off screen) Take this you big-earred freak! I'll teach you to mess with Dax!!
Quark: (Off screen) Someone, heeeeelp!!!
Kira: I would help if it wasn't so funny.
O'Brien: Oh, look; now she's pelting him with latinum bars.
Dax: (off screen) You want this latinum?? Well now you're gonna get it!!
Kira: Commander, we've just been to a parallel universe! It was amazing because their whole world was changed when Kirk was there almost a century ago, so now-
Bashir: Well you might think it's amazing but I damn well don't! You can sass all you want and go wherever just because the Intendant was.. Well you.. Then I just tell them my bloody job and I get smacked in the face MULTIPLE times and have to wear the same filthy uniform everyday. All you got was a fancy dress!
Re: DS9 Caption Contest 77; Fooling around
Odo: (OS) I told you I wasn't kidding about her, Doctor
Re: DS9 Caption Contest 77; Fooling around
TFTW! :techman:
Kira: So, which one do I get?
Dax: Oh, er, both of these are for me.
The Harlem Shake didn't age well.
Sisko: Damn it, people, all I ask for is one good picture, and what do I get? Dax closes her eyes every time I say, "Cheese," and Kira, here keeps cracking up.
Nog: Oooh, this isn't going to go over well. Starfleet doesn't like it when you mess with the timeline. Why can't I be more like Captain Sisko? He'd never alter the timeline...
Sisko: Dr. Bashir! You look like Hell, what happened?
Kira: Hey, it's not all sunshine over here. I think I got a paper cut.
Bashir: A paper cut? Really? Look at me!
Kira: Yeah, yeah, poor Julian. Now can we focus on my paper cut, please?
Re: DS9 Caption Contest 77; Fooling around
DAX: And now the applying of the Decon Gel.
KIRA: Decon Gel?
DAX: It's an ancient Earth custom.
Re: DS9 Caption Contest 77; Fooling around
Odo: Are you sure the ideal humanoid form has a two inch penis?
Bashir: It's an established medical fact.
Re: DS9 Caption Contest 77; Fooling around
SISKO: That's it. Constable, please get this "Carl Spock" character off my station!
Re: DS9 Caption Contest 77; Fooling around
Re: DS9 Caption Contest 77; Fooling around
Thanks for the win! :bolian:
Dax: Wait where did you guys come from, I didn't program you.
Kira: I did. Now get lost, Jadzia.
O'Brien: Wow, didn't think that pea would land on Quarks head AND stay there!
Bashir:Into the ear, double or nothing?
O'Brien: You're on!
Ezri: I'm so glad Quark added The Beatles to the bars playlist.

I think it would be better if AMD just handed over the docs to Red Hat and payed them to develop the drivers. They have much more experience with open source.
On the other hand monraaf has a good point, Cooper and Richard barely commits anything. So what's up with them?
I think Alex, Corbin, Dave, Jerome, Marek and Rafal* are _the_ developers with a few random commits from some other kind people. So it is 1 AMD, 2 RH and 2 freelancer. In my opinion this is not something AMD should be proud of.
* The alphabetic order is intentional, they are all awesome. My apologies if I missed someone, only they came to my mind.
Corbin seems recently to be a bit inactive, though.
Cooper was pulled off onto a different project in late 2009; it was supposed to be temporary but seems to be more or less permanent. We may end up having to organize a replacement for him in the Shanghai open source team, not sure yet.
I don't think there's enough news to provide an update on anything like that frequency. I reported last fall that Cooper had been pulled off onto another project, and it's now looking pretty definite that he won't be coming back to open source graphics (so I reported that), but there wasn't really any news in between to report.
Also, just to clarify, AMD never said we were writing the drivers ourselves. The plan has always to support the open source driver development process by providing documentation, code, and development advice. The more developers that get involved the better.
EDIT - Alex beat me again ;(

Reason number four of why I'm not voting for Obama: Un-American Behavior So does anyone remember how Obama refused to wear the American flag pin? I do. Here's what he said in response to someone asking him about not wearing it. "You know, the truth is that right after 9/11, I had a pin," Obama said. "Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we're talking about the Iraq War, that became a substitute for I think true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security, I decided I won't wear that pin on my chest. "Instead," he said, "I'm going to try to tell the American people what I believe will make this country great, and hopefully that will be a testimony to my patriotism." So I guess if you wear a flag pin, you're not a true patriot. Well, I understand what he was saying, but later we see him standing there with his hands down to his side as the National Anthem was played. Everyone else on that platform had their hand on their heart, showing their respect and devotion to this country and the principles for which is stands. What kind of example is it for a president of the United States of America to not show this respect and devotion? Some will say it's no big deal. These are the same people that intentionally disregard every other blatantly un-American thing about Mr. Obama. Like his great fondness for communists and socialist and their ideals which he firmly embraces. Like his desire to "spread the wealth around" or as it's commonly called, the redistribution of wealth. Like his healthcare law that obligates American citizens to buy healthcare insurance whether they can afford it or not, or whether they want it or not. What about his failure not to secure the borders of the USA? Not only has he failed to do this, he has stood against Arizona's right to enforce immigration laws. On top of that, without seeking the approval of Congress, or going through proper constitutionally provided procedures, he has given a free pass to millions of illegal aliens. It is patently un-American to ignore and by pass the laws of the land; a common occurrence in the Obama administration in the past few years. Inappropriate uses of executive privilege and recess appointments that circumvent the intent of the constitution have become the norm. And remember the big GM bailout and how the Democrats sang its praises at their convention? GM is once again flirting with bankruptcy despite massive government purchases propping up its sales figures. GM stock is rock-bottom. Losses continue to be revised in the wrong direction. According to The Detroit News, "The Treasury Department says in a new report the government expects to lose more than $25 billion on the $85 billion auto bailout. That's 15 percent higher than its previous forecast." In other words, the administration is lying again. Remember how they berated Romney for sending American jobs overseas, while Obama was saving thousands and thousands of American jobs by saving GM. The fact is the biggest winners from the bailout were the workers in Europe and China. GM has increased its manufacturing capacity in China by an estimated 55 percent after the bailout, according to industry watchers. In Europe, the UAW's appointee to the Government Motors Board of Directors, Steve Girsky, recklessly pushed the feds to hold onto GM's failing German-based Opel AG. The Great American Auto Bailout has been subsidizing this hemorrhaging enterprise while Obama failed to deliver on his 2008 campaign promise to salvage plants like the one in GOP vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan's hometown of Janesville, Wis. According to Forbes magazine, "GM Europe, comprised mostly of Opel and its sister brand, Vauxhall, lost $617 million in the first half of 2012, on top of a $747 million loss in 2011 and a $1.8 billion loss in 2010. In all, GM has lost almost $17 billion in Europe since 1999." Government Motors is now planning to invest $1 billion over the next five years -- not in America, but in Russia. That's on top of $7 billion total in China, close to $1 billion in Mexico, and $600 million for a shirt sponsorship deal with Manchester United, the British soccer club. So the hypocrisy continues as Obama bolsters the economies of foreign countries while taking tax dollars and throwing into the pit known as General Motors. Saving the unions while some 20,000 nonunion Delphi auto parts workers. The forgotten victims saw their pensions erode by up to 70 percent; their health benefits disappeared. This is just a small fraction of the un-American behavior we've seen from this president and his administration. It's time to get rid of him and give the job to someone else. *Note: Much of this is quoted from different sources found on the internet. You're welcome to check the facts for yourself.

B&W Not my usual Casual Portraits
By Michael Billert
6 Dec 2013
I have always said "always ask, a no want hurt and a yes will put a smile on your face". I happened to meet this lady on another assignment and was blown away by her attitude. We staved off a mid-life crisis by hanging some big B&W prints in this ladies office. After all she spends her day and evening with beautiful young barely clothed ladies. She is in the gym everyday. Doing what it takes to keep ahead of Mother Nature. The high contrast worked well for the purpose and tech.ly for the over size prints.

Couldn't make this up
I was almost too embarrassed to post this, but then I figured somebody out there might need a story that would help convince them they weren't the most incompetent person out there.
I had a big mileage weekend, which required some "strategery" with Eliot out of town. My mother in-law and the shih tzus came down to help out and that, along with some substantial contributions to one young babysitter's college fund, almost got me to 81 miles this week.
I had 40 miles on the schedule Sunday and I was about a mile from the car and marking 81 on my training log when I realized the car key wasn't in my handheld bottle's pocket anymore. It was 12:30pm and at least 85 degrees — and I was a little tired. Dark thoughts were had. I turned around and headed back the way I'd come scanning the dirt and rocks for the key. The last 30 minutes of the run were supposed to have been a progression and I'd been running along at a good clip. "This is what happens when you run fast!" I replayed the last mile of the run. I was running hard when my phone gave its text notification. A bird tweet — kind of sweet whistle — sounds when a text comes in. Usually I find this cute. I ignored the tweeting as I barrelled along the trail, hot and out of breath. A second tweeting sounded re-alerting me to the text. I ignored it. Two more chirps. "OK!!!!" Maybe it was Asa's sitter. I stopped and pulled my phone out (of my cool guy UltrAspire waist belt) and started walking slowly as I unlocked the screen. I was pretty spent and a bit worried about passing out. This was the text:
I shoved the phone back in my waist pack and worked my way back up to speed trying to ignore my brain's "SLOW DOWN for gosh sakes!" messages. Two more tweetings. I swore. And ignored. Two more. Then two more. "Somebody better be trapped under something…"
These were all meant for Asa from his sweet grandmother. I thought uncharitable thoughts about small dogs as my legs began to cramp. I took the top off my water bottle and drained it and tried to finish the last two miles to the car in good form.
Half a mile later I noticed the missing key. Smacked down by the God of Small Dogs.
I ran two miles back the way I'd came and spent a lot of time where I'd had ugly thoughts about shih tzus. No key. One wild boar. But no key. I was supposed to be home in 30 minutes to relieve the sitter, so I called my friend Olivia. No answer. But then a text came in as I tried to think of another rescuer.
"Hey can I call u in a bit?"
I thought about how to reply. "Just wanted to see if you might be able to rescue me." (I was going for casual, but urgent.)
We arranged to meet at the park entrance since Olivia didn't have a park pass. (A fateful decision.) I headed out to the road bypassing the parking lot (and another mile or more of running) and told my story to the aged volunteers at the gate house. They told me the key would probably turn up eventually — how they'd found an iPhone once in the back to the park that had been lost for months. It wasn't particularly comforting — mostly because I wasn't sure where Eliot's set of keys were. He was still climbing out in Red Rocks outside of Vegas and the cell coverage wasn't good. I probably wouldn't hear from him until he made it to the airport late that night. I called his phone and left 81 messages anyway. Olivia dropped me off at home and I paid the babysitter her first year's tuition and then waited to see what would happen next.
Eliot called a few hours later and said his keys were actually in the back of the car in his book bag. Better than on his person. I texted my friend Amanda.
"You home by any chance?" (Casual.) She drove Asa and me the 25 minutes out to the park. We convinced the volunteers to let us in without paying and headed to the parking lot where the locksmith was waiting.
I'm almost too tired to go on. The next bit happened quickly. It turned out the car was unlocked. Odd. I signed the locksmith's paperwork and fished Eliot's keys out of his bag. Then I noticed my key on the backseat. (Feeling good about yourself yet?)
I guess when I'd come back to the car to refuel before my last loop, I'd been a bit out of it and never put the back in the handheld's pocket.
Moral? The vengeance of the God of Small Dogs is like the barking of small dogs — wildly annoying, but ultimately harmless. (I am not knocking small dogs. They are AWESOME. Love them to pieces.)
In the end I only ran 76 miles. I couldn't bring myself to run the last five on the downhill treadmill after I put Asa to bed. I wrote training plans and thought nice thoughts about my friends instead.
16 thoughts on "Couldn't make this up"
Stories we all had. At least your car wasn't driven away in a meantime. Praise the Lord, or somebody of that matter.
You are sooooo right.
That's a new one; excercise induced incompetence. Glad it all turned out well.
Yeah, usually it's just plain incompetence on my part.
Liza, you poor thing! That's the last thing you need after 40 miles. I would definitely have been home to the grumpy gremlins if that had happened to me. I'm sure we've all done similar though. Glad you see the funny side as well
Thanks! The worst part was when the park ranger told me he'd told five groups of hikers to look for the key while they were out.
Always here for ya Liza! If you want to spend time with me, you don't have to pretend to be locked out of your car! ;0)
I just wanted to show you the short route to GC.
Liza- a frazzled day for sure! You are simply amazing and your words are such a treat to read! I actually did lose my key on the trail. After 3 days, I found it hanging on a' lost and found' hook at the beginning of an old jeep road I like to run on. Such a great feeling to know someone actually took the time to do that!
By the way, I just picked up the RW trail edtion. Love that sweet photo of you and Asa- just darling. I love to hear about running moms!
Anita Ortiz always makes me feel like such a slacker.
That's great about your keys. Still looking forward to our paths crossing eventually.
Oh Liza! So glad everything turned out okay in the end. Love the dog pictures- will have to remember to send you some Kaya shots next time you're out. When is your next long run???
I would be happy to stop to see pictures of Kaya. (As long as she hasn't started using a wee wee pad.)
GGlad to see you are human after all. Sorry for the unexpected worries.
Domingo! We definitely need to run together more.
Nope, still feel like possibly the most incompetent person out there, but at least I'm not the only one. I had a similar thing happen once, except the key turned out to actually be on the trail, about two miles from the car (and about an extra 6 miles of searching). Glad it all worked out for you!
6 mile search. Ugh. Glad you found it though. And got all that extra training in.

Hot weather brings out color in 'Kimo'
This extended hot weather has really brought out the intense colors in my plumeria blooms. Here's 'Kimo', one of my favorites. The bloom is actually a bit darker than the camera portrays (cheap camera).
Dave- I learned that humidity has a great effect when combined with heat. A few weeks ago we warmed up and the flowers were nice. Then a batch of humid air came in from the south which is rare in Calif. My reds and dark pinks got so rich in color for a week. Then the sea breeze sent the humid air back to Arizona, and my colors lightened considerably. Even though the heat was about the same, the change of humidity caused considerable color change. By the way, that Kimo is so nicely colored. Mine was more yellow orange and not nearly as intense. I like the looks of yours. Bill

Head on Grasslands at Risk
John W. Head (Kansas) has posted International Legal Regimes to Balance the Protection of Prairies and Grasslands with Their Agricultural Use Part One – Grasslands at Risk, a working paper for the Center for International Trade and Agriculture (CITA). The abstract:
Grasslands abound on Earth, but humans have damaged them profoundly. This paper – part of a book project focusing on the international legal regimes needed to strike an appropriate balance between the protection of grassland areas and their use for agricultural production – identifies where grasslands are located, what makes them distinct parts of our natural order, how they have been degraded, and why that matters.
Some points that are fundamental to this discussion include these: (1) grassland ecoregions exist both in tropical and in temperate zones of the Earth, and while there are important differences both between and within each of these two categories of grasslands, their similarities warrant looking at the two together; (2) grasslands are dramatically more complex and full of life than most people realize, and indeed the subtlety of their richness probably contributes to their abuse; (3) that abuse takes many forms and springs from many causes, including urban encroachment, forest encroachment (especially through fire suppression), habitat fragmentation, agricultural conversion, inappropriate grazing practices, water mismanagement, and recreational frivolity; and (4) human abuse of the world's grasslands incurs a huge economic and financial cost to this and future generations, in part because it squanders the benefits that grasslands can provide by way of protecting water quality, buffering drastic natural phenomena (such as storms and floods), conserving soil resources, facilitating prudent recreation, maintaining critical habitat for wildlife, protecting biodiversity more generally, and contributing to the global food supply through sustainable use in agricultural and livestock operations.
The condition and use of grasslands around the world have a direct bearing on agricultural production and on the international trade in agricultural commodities that is essential for the Earth's future. Hence this paper offers a factual foundation for legal and policy discussions; one or more later papers by the same author will contribute further to those discussions.

... We then made our way back to Monza train station and after saying goodbye to Anita and Michel, we caught the train for 2.5hrs to Tirano. Tirano is 10mins away from Brusio which is where my Great Uncle Roberto and Great Aunty Ilaria live- we stayed with them for 3 nights. Arianna their daughter (mum's cousin), picked us up- she's so sweet, apparently she'd come an hour early because she was so excited! I was super excited to see her ...

We then walked back to Dario and Claudia's house where Claudia had cooked us a massive lunch! We had homemade chicken cordon bleu with potatoes, carrots and onions. After Dario had his afternoon nap, we drove up to the family mountain house. There wasn't much snow ...

Woke up to a beautiful view from our window then down for breakfast (photo). Had the best latte so far this trip. We then commenced a browse around the streets of Venice, looking through shops and taking photos.

Amazon: Not Right for Some Authors
November 8, 2014
I wanted to call this write up Godforsaken ID. But you might plug in the letter "C" or you might not. I suggest you track down a dead tree edition of the still dog paddling New York Times. Check out the business section and look for the Google pleasing headline "Prominent Editor's Exit a Setback for Amazon Publishing Unit." I quite like the juxtaposition of prominent, setback, and everyone's favorite online WalMart." You may be able to view a version of the story at this link, but I make no promises in this money oriented era.)
The write up has a great quote or two.
- "His [Ed Park, a literary luminary unknown to me] departure reflects the challenges that Amazon faces in a publishing ecosystem that largely views the online retailer as a rapacious competitor."
- "Some literary agents say Amazon's publishing operation seems to be retreating."
In my view, I don't want my work sold on the Amazon system. I have enough experience writing and selling monographs that appeal to maybe 300 people in the world. These folks are not reached via WalMart.
You views, like those of Dave Schubmehl and IDC, may differ from mine. As you know, without a written agreement, Mr. Schubmehl (an alleged expert in information retrieval) and his employer (the large mid tier consulting firm, IDC) reworked my research, put their names and brand on the material, and attempted to sell the result for $3,500 on Amazon.
Is that clueless? I don't know. I am relatively confident that whatever executive decision lead to that move may suggest some management challenges. You can read about the "surfing on Arnold" play and the IDC hopes Amazon can move 10 pages for $3500 at these links:
- IDC and Reports by Schubmehl
- Are HP, Google and IDC "Out of Square"?
- IDC Attivio Report Spotted by a Librarian
Several observations:
First, Amazon obviously did not check with the authors on the IDC report that permissions were in place. What's this say about Amazon?
Second, who at IDC perceived Amazon as a way to move 10 pages of my recycled content for $3,500?
Third, how desperate are companies like Amazon and IDC to earn monikers like rapacious and name surfer?
We live in interesting information centric times. As I reveal my research results about the new direction in content processing, how long will it take for this information to surface with the name of a person who did not do the nitty gritty work? I should emulate the NCAA basketball gambling craze start a pool for this digital publishing sport?
Oh, I like old fashioned bookstores too.

EasyAsk Adds Glitter to Oya Costumes
October 29, 2014
I learned that Oya Costumes has tapped EasyAsk to provide the search function for www.oyacostumes.com. You can read the news release here. I clicked around using drop downs and facets. I did run a query to locate a suitable Harrod's Creek Halloween costume. I searched for Darth Vader. The results were mostly on point. There was one anomaly, an inflatable purple suit. Perhaps Darth has a side few know about.
Here's the result page for my query:
Here's a close up of the purple outfit mapped to the query "Darth Vader."
I quite like the inflatable purple suit. I assume it is semantically related to Mr. Vader.

SLI Systems: Stunning Factoid
October 21, 2014
SLI Systems reported its financial results in mid October 2014. The numbers were interesting. The company reported revenue of $22.1 million, which is good for search software. However, the company said that it lost $5.9 million. See "SLI Systems Poised for Continued Growth in Rapidly Expanding E-Commerce Industry."
In the write up was a remarkable factoid; to wit:
More than 500 e-commerce businesses are using SLI's solutions, which can service more than a billion queries in a single month," said SLI CEO Shaun Ryan. "That's ten percent of the volume that Google reportedly serves in North America in the same time frame. And with continued growth, we expect to continue adding scale to our high-margin business."
From my point of view, this is an intriguing number. In order to break even, SLI Systems needed almost $30 million in 2013-2014. Based on the information I have gathered over the years, search vendors dependent on venture funding find themselves in an SLI Systems boat frequently.
Keep in mind that the cost of maintaining a search system is often higher than revenues can support; therefore, search vendors face red ink each time the accountant tallies up the numbers.
Why not get more customers? Well, that costs money.
Why not charge more? Well, savvy customers may look at open source options like Magento.
Well, why not come out with a killer product? Most search vendors believe they have killer products.
Convincing analysts and prospects is a different type of pizza. But if the factoid is correct, SLI Systems is generating hefty traffic when aggregated. Is it time for a revised business model?

Exorbyte: Yep, eCommerce Search
August 1, 2014
Despite the mid tier consulting firms trying valiantly to convince some that Exorbyte is an enterprise search company, there is some evidence to the contrary. I noticed a tweet from a Twitter fan billed as MarketLinks. The link points to a service with which I was not familiar, Vidyours. On that page, Exorbyte presents a number of videos:
A word of possible interest: This video distribution search wanted to install a suspicious video viewer on my system. I declined.
Net net: Exorbyte has a number of eCommerce video for what appears to be the purpose of selling licenses to companies looking for a eCommerce search system. Perhaps the enterprise search videos are out there, just not on the dicey Vidyours.com site? Is Exorbyte performing a search pivot or just stretching its system to generate more leads and revenue?

Improvements to Kidrobot Website Yield Positive Results
May 21, 2014
The article titled Kidrobot Turns to SLI Systems to Boost E-Commerce Sales and Strengthen Brand Visibility on EConsultancy LLC discusses the changes implemented on the Kidrobot website. Immediately visible on the website is the suggestion to "Try our NEW Search", suggestive of the excitement at Kidrobot over the improvements, which have yielded an 87% increase in users finding what they are looking for (within the first five results to appear) since November 2013. The article quotes a Kidrobot employee as follows,
"From the capabilities of their technology to the helpfulness of their support, the whole package of working with SLI is a huge improvement from what we had before," said Kelsey Vendetti, e-commerce and digital marketing manager for Kidrobot. "Learning Search has created a better overall user experience, and when visitors use Rich Auto Complete, it opens their eyes to all that we have to offer – they're three to four times more likely to click on a search suggestion."
Kidrobot sells trendy pop art toys with unique names, making search tricky for users who weren't certain of exactly what they were looking for. SLI's Rich Auto Complete aids in this by actually learning from past experience what customers are most likely trying to find.

Watson and Shopping: No Service, Just an Assertion
April 26, 2014
I read "Make IBM's Watson Your Personal Shopping Assistant." IBM wants to leapfrog www.pricewatch.com, www.amazon.com, and the aging www.mysimon.com, among other shopping services.
Now quite a few people have embraced Amazon's flawed, yet popular, recommendations service. I am trying to remember when I first noticed this somewhat annoying feature of the digital WalMart. I cannot recall. I am reminded of the weaknesses of the system each time I log in and see recommendations to my wife's book selections. Undoubtedly she and I are not following Amazon's best practices. My wife is pretty familiar with my user name and password, Amazon, and the ease with which she can order products (dog vitamins), novels (wonky mysteries infused with herring), and oddments I know won't plug into my computer systems; for example, something for a faux soft drink machine.
My view is that for some folks, an Amazon habit is going (note the present progressive) difficult to modify. Even though Amazon is struggling to deliver profit joy, the Amazon online shopping thing has quite a following.
Well, just in the nick of time–is it years too late?—IBM says it will apply the billion dollar baby to meet my shopping needs. Oh, yeah. Here's what I learned from the write up:
IBM is partnering with Fluid, a digital commerce company, to create a one-on-one experience with Watson's capabilities. For example, let's say you're looking for the perfect gift for your significant other. Tell Watson about the likes and dislikes of your loved one and let the computer score through piles of data, and eventually pick out a product (or group of products) with those details in mind. Or let's say you're going on a hike in the Himalayas and need the right gear for your trip: once you tell Watson what you need, the computer does the research and picks out all the right equipment for you.
I suppose this means that Amazon's reviews are about to be staring at Watson's tail lights. The article doesn't pay much attention to Amazon or lesser services that pepper Google results pages with offers of prices, reviews, and suggestions for the procrastinating Mother's Day shopper.
I read:
IBM is working on an app for XPS that will work on desktops, tablets and smartphones. It will be able to ask the same sort of questions you'd expect from a salesperson in a physical store, but without the hard-sell techniques and with a lot more personalization.
I think my grade school teachers called this the present progressive. I translated this to "it may sound now but nothing is showing up right now."
Several observations:
First, is IBM or a "partner" going to design, build, debug, deliver, and support this magic carpet shopping service? On one hand, it looks like Watson's brain trust in Manhattan is on the job. Then it struck me that an outfit called Fluid will have to lift that barrel and tote that bale. My hunch is that IBM will watch from the veranda of the hotel overlooking the laborers unloading the good ship Watson.
Second, I keep reminding myself that IBM has yet to provide a demonstration of Watson that makes it possible for me to compare throughput, precision, and recall with the search systems to which I have access. Talk, it appears, is much easier than making and selling a product.
Third, what about that Amazon thing? The Bezos-A-Rama is busy creating yet another digital monopoly. In addition, that big store offers recommendations along with one click shopping, reviews, a so so search system, and fawning Wall Street believers.
To me it looks as if IBM, on the other hand, is doing what IBM does best: Working its public relations firms extra hard. I hear the faint sound of Tennessee Ernie Ford singing,
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
Mr. Ford's backup singers are IBM's sales and marketing team after a tough day of talking about what Watson will someday soon be. Hard work is moving 16 tons of marketing.

Free Online Commerce Advice from SLI Systems
March 5, 2014
Here's a free book anyone managing e-commerce should look into. SLI Systems' blog, Site Search Today, suggests we "Create a Better Shopping Experience with Refinements." Writer Kemberly Gong advises:
"If users encounter a large set of search results for a particular keyword, they can also feel overwhelmed. As an e-commerce merchant, you can help them tremendously by offering refinement options to narrow numerous product results to a manageable set. While site search is considered one of the most essential elements to an e-commerce site, refinements are just as crucial in guiding shoppers to the right product, and to a sale.
"Our new Big Book of Site Search Tips for 2014, available for free download, is filled with ideas for improving this vital part of your site search solution. Here are just a few of the suggestions from the Big Book – and you'll also find more than 100 tips on everything from search box placement to merchandising in the Big Book."
The tips Gong cites include: "make refinements intuitive"; "pick the right place for refinements"; "refinements for ratings and reviews"; and "allow users to navigate between refinements." See the article for more on each of these points. Better yet, see here to download the free book.
More than 500 e-commerce sites use SLI Systems' services. The company, founded in 2001, prides itself on its customer service. SLI Systems maintains offices in San Jose, California; London; Melbourne; and Christchurch, New Zealand.

EasyAsk Upgrades Musician Superstore Website Search
December 27, 2013
The article titled Metakinetic Teams Up with EasyAsk To Provide A New On-Site Search Solution To Andertons on the ecommerce agency Metakinetic's website promotes the partnership formed in order to overhaul their top client's site search. Andertons superstore for musicians is being upgraded, the article explains,
"The solution from EasyAsk has been rapidly deployed as a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution and empowers Andertons to take control of a single solution for their on-site search, navigation and merchandising functions. Using natural language processing, the solution allows Andertons to give its website visitors an easy and intuitive way to navigate the site, helping them to easily find the product for which they are searching."
The natural language capability offered by EasyAsk taps into the unstructured data on the products and makes it searchable. Keywords from product descriptions will ensure that every relevant item appears, but the user also has the option of placing limits such as price minimums and maximums. A Director from Metakinetic named Darren Bull lauded the EasyAsk team for their professionalism and efficiency, and claimed perfect confidence in seeing an uplift in sales as a result of the changes made. Online customers have high expectations for the ease and ingeniousness of shopping websites, and the adjustments to the Andertons' might have just brought them into the 21st century, just in time for Christmas.

HP Leaps into E-Commerce Software Sales with HP Pronq
December 18, 2013
The article titled HP Launches Portal to Sell Its Software Online on eweek introduces the HP Pronq effort. No, that's not a typo, but a new business that will sell HP software. Still confused?
The article states:
"The Pronq portal currently offers HP's Fortify on Demand security service, Agile Manager, Vertica, Performance Anywhere and Service Anywhere solutions. "Pronk" is an actual word that is defined as jumping up into the air or moving forward by leaps and bounds, Caroline Tsay, vice president of Web and eCommerce at HP's Software division, told eWEEK. "It's a metaphor for what we're trying to do with Pronq, with the attributes of agility and ease of use," Tsay said."
The launching of this new business is meant to draw more attention to HP as a software provider. Often HP gains more attention as a PC and printer brand, and with Pronq the company is working to put their software in the limelight. Pronq is using Drupal, the content managing system, and a private cloud different from the HP public cloud OpenStack-based infrastructure. Careful to avoid the insinuation that by selling software directly through Pronq HP is trying to outmaneuver or work around their partners, Tsay claims the e-commerce business will actually "complement" the sales teams and "support" HP's channel partners.

E-Retailers Guide Ranks EasyAsk Semantic Search Leader in E-Commerce Technology
December 13, 2013
EasyAsk Ranked Among Top Four Providers of E-Commerce Technology, an article on Virtual-Strategy Magazine, recognizes the achievements of EasyAsk, the natural language search company. EasyAsk was recently named one of the top 4 vendors (out of 1,000) in driving e-commerce sales by the E-Retailers Guide. Craig Bassin, CEO of EasyAsk, expressed no surprise at this, since reports show that 43% of visitors to a given website will head straight for the search box.
Bassin expanded on his company's progress:
""EasyAsk is poised to capture a significant share of the growing spend on e-commerce technology, said Bassin. "EasyAsk eCommerce Edition delivers amazing value to our clients. EasyAsk is embedded within Infor Storefront and has out-of-the-box integrations with the leading e-commerce platforms, such as IBM Websphere Commerce, Magento, Hybris and Netsuite. Our customers consistently tell us we help them turn shoppers into buyers." Gartner Inc. estimates that retailers spent about $3 billion on e-commerce technology in 2012. "
Semantic search has become unavoidably important, with Google and Microsoft adopting their own offerings since in the last two years. But EasyAsk stands out as offering "natural language search for e-commerce enterprise, on-premise and cloud platforms." Their work in raising online revenue by allowing users to search in plain English and receive specific and relevant results has made them a leader in the field.

Looking for inexpensive beads
In my latest issue of Romantic Country on pg. 78 they have a bowl full of 3" styrofoam balls covered in what they describe as acrylic or glass bi-cone beads (mix of 4mm and 6mm sizes) or round beads (4mm).
They used beading or sequin pins to hold the beads on the styrofoam. The ones in the picture are pink and look so sparkly with the pins in them.
I looked at beads at Joanne's today, and the bags are so small, I think it would take several to cover a ball. Anyone have a source for inexpensive beads?
I just thought these were so pretty and I have a bag of styrofoam ornaments I saved when the silkish covering was coming off. Thought this might be just the thing to use them for.
Not sure what kind of beads you are looking for without seeing
a pic of the covered ball but here is a site that sells lots of
different kinds. Any chance you can post a pic?TIA
Here is a link that might be useful: Beads etc.
I'm not very good with a camera, but here is a couple pics of the article. Hope it helps. It doesn't say how many beads or give a source for the beads. I know from using half marbles on things, that it often takes more than you would expect it to--that's why I wanted an inexpensive source if I was going to try it. I'll take a look at the bead site you listed. Thanks. Luvs
Oh those are lovely!! I haven't looked through that magazine in quite a few years.
You could use an acrylic bicone bead which would definitely save a lot of money. Also check out eBay for some great resources.
These would be great for Easter eggs next year too!!
www.sunshincecrafts.com use to carry a lot of acrylics but I'm not sure what they have now.
thanks for sharing and best of luck!!
I used to buy acrylic beads when Hobby Lobby put them half price. Lately they seem to be going to glass beads and 'better' beads. I don't want fancy beads for the basket suncatchers, and the things I do for outdoors and now I can't find many beads. If you find a good source let me know too.
Thanks Honeysuckleridge, that sight has the beads, and looks like a good price. I will compare their price plus shipping to the ones at Joanne's and see which is the least expensive.
Look what else I found while I was looking around the Sunshine crafts site. Could be used for any season--especially for those who like to do the stacked plates. I didn't know there were "liquid beads"--would have just thought thinned down Mod Podge and spinkle them on. LOL
Those look like those Christmas Ornaments made with all those beads and pins. ( older craft ) THese are pretty in pastels ! Michaels has big bags of "crystal like" beads .
I'd try there first . I know they have tons of round 4 & 6 & 8 mm. ones. I buy them all the time. Post a pic when you're done - they'll be gorgeous !

African American Genealogy
Did you know?
- The first African settlers in the U.S. were indentured servants in Jamestown, Va., in 1619 (before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock) and freed after 7 years.
- African American is the most common ancestry in: Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
- The Freedman's Bank and the Freedmen's Bureau were separate organizations, from different federal departments, in separate National Archives record groups.
- Ten percent of the African American population was free before the Civil War.
- Only 15 percent of freed slaves used the family name of a former owner.
- From 1865 to 1875 many African Americans changed their family name.

Q: "I have an employee requesting a copy of his pre-employment drug screen results. It was a negative read, and he was hired. Do I have to provide him a copy?" – Angela, North Carolina
Q: "If an employee violates the written travel policy regarding purchasing plane tickets, can we refuse to reimburse them?" – Rochelle, Florida
Q: "We have an employee who has been on workers' compensation for nine months. He has requested that his fractured ankle be operated on. Our HR associate wants to terminate him on the grounds that after the operation he would have been on FMLA for over a year. We realize the employee would still be carried by our insurer. Can we legally terminate an employee on workers' compensation after a year's medical leave?" – Vincent, Louisiana
Q: "Is it disability discrimination to keep an employee from performing job duties listed on the job description?" – Anonymous, California
Q: "I am relatively new to my job as human resources manager in this facility. I was asking the person who used to handle workers' compensation claims before I was hired how we were handling them. He stated that for injuries, we have employees use their BCBS coverage. If there are out of pocket expenses, we reimburse them. He stated we do this for two reasons: First, we are fully self-insured, and second, because the injury has never been severe enough to warrant an insurance claim. I am not comfortable with this procedure at all. Is it acceptable to handle claims this way?" - Dorothy, Michigan
Q: "Our organization just underwent a U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division investigation. When the investigator was leaving, I asked her if I would ever know why we were being investigated and she told me no, I would not. Is this investigation and the final report anything that I can request through the Freedom of Information Act? During our investigation the name of a company very similar to ours kept popping up in the questioning. I actually asked if they were investigating us by mistake. The investigator just smiled, then asked another question … – Gina, Michigan
Q: "Can a company pay for 100% of some employees' medical insurance and not others? Can we offer certain employees life insurance and not others? Can we offer certain employees "business class" on flights longer than five hours and not others?" – Alyson, New Jersey
Q: "What are the employer guidelines when hiring someone with an F-1 visa?" – Mike, New Jersey
Q: "Our union employees are entitled to a bonus for risk in the area of work. Under the CBA, that bonus is stated for the amount of $450.00 per year. For the last 28 years, the employer has been using paying that amount of $450.00 and adding the extra hours to make the computation for each union employee. (That interpretation was made by the accounting department; it is not in the CBA.) The employer wants to pay what is on the CBA only ($450.00) without adding payment for the extra hours. Does past custom between employer and union employees force the employer to continue to act according to the custom that is not in the CBA? Is there a case that discusses this matter?" – Carlos, Florida
Q: "We currently have a question on our employment application that asks whether the person has been convicted of a crime, and if yes, to please explain. However, we would also like to ask about speeding tickets, moving violations, etc., since all of our employees transport individuals with special needs. Our liability insurance won't cover anyone who has had a DUI within the past seven years or three or more moving violations within the past 36 months. How can we legally ask about the person's driving record in order to weed out bad drivers without having to pay for a background/driving check?" – Janet, North Carolina
Q: "Please clarify for me the number of employees it takes to place a company under the obligation of Obamacare. Our insurance carrier said it had been increased from 50 employees to 100." – Vincent, Louisiana

Suppression of helium bubble growth in palladium by prior cold working
Department of Physics, Cochin University of Science and Technology, Cochin 682 022, IndiaJournal of Nuclear Materials (Impact Factor: 2.02). 07/1996; 231(1-2):55-62. DOI: 10.1016/0022-3115(96)00359-5
ABSTRACT Growth of helium bubbles in palladium, having different pre-irradiation sample treatments and subsequently implanted with 50 appm of helium, has been investigated by positron lifetime spectroscopy. Presence of dislocations has been found to enhance the density of nucleated bubbles. A suppression of helium bubble growth due to the presence of dislocations is established. Bubble growth is reduced by over-pressure in dislocation-containing samples.

ABSTRACT: The relationships between graduation grade point average (GPA), class ranking, performance in graduate studies, employment opportunities, and locations of employment of graduates of Tennessee State University are studied on the basis of graduation GPA and employment information on 326 graduates of the B.S. in Electrical Engineering program from May 1972 until August 1989. The data on graduates and the graduation GPA was retrieved from student records in the department. The information on student employment and graduate studies was collected from annual alumni surveys, interviews with returning alumni during homecomings, and recruitment trips. The student records were compiled according to graduation dates. For the purpose of data analysis, the graduation GPA has been divided into 16 groups, with Group 1 being 2.00 to 2.125. It is found that the graduates are equally distributed in the process and utility industries and the federal service, although those with higher GPAs are pursuing graduate study and going to the electronics/computer industry. The incentives provided by corporations to pursue graduate study on a full-time basis have been most beneficial and fully utilized by the graduates and is reflected in a very high percentage of graduates pursuing graduate work
Article: Characterizing microstructural changes in ferritic steels by positron annihilation spectroscopy: Studies on modified 9Cr–1Mo steel[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Applicability of positron annihilation spectroscopy in probing the microstructural changes in ferritic steels has been investigated with thermal treatment studies on modified 9Cr–1Mo steel, during 300–1273 K. Positron lifetime results are compared with those of ultrasonic velocity and hardness techniques with two initial microstructural conditions i.e., normalized and tempered condition as well as only normalized condition. In first case, positron lifetime is found to be sensitive to small changes in metal carbide precipitation which could not be probed by other two techniques. In later case, positron lifetime is found to be sensitive to defect annealing until 673 K and in distinguishing the growth and coarsening of metal carbide precipitation stages during 773–1073 K. The present study suggests that by combining positron lifetime, ultrasonic velocity and hardness measurements, it is possible to distinguish distinct microstructures occurring at different stages.Journal of Nuclear Materials 01/2013; 432(s 1–3):266–273.

ABSTRACT: Palladium tritides at the initial tritium/palladium (T/Pd) atomic ratio of 0.65 were prepared by gaseous P–V–T method. The 3He release behavior in the aged palladium tritides for 604, 1265 and 2168 days with the initial tritium/palladium atomic ratio of 0.65, has been studied by the methods of D–T isotopes exchange and aqua regia dissolution separately. The results of D–T exchange experiment show that the 3He release ratios in these three different time aged palladium tritides are 1.7%, 2.1% and 3.3%, leaving more than 96.7% 3He kept in palladium tritides Lattice. A similar result can also been obtained by aqua regia dissolution method, and the 3He release ratios are 2.0%, 2.9% and 3.3% by comparison. The similarity reveals a strong 3He retain ability of palladium tritides. The experimental data by two methods agree well with each other.Journal of Nuclear Materials 05/2012; 424(s 1–3):216–219.

Toad pond set up!
Greetings All Y'all!
I have my toad pond, affectionately called Mo-Toad 6, all set up. The pump MAY not be big enough to produce enough ripples to keep the mosquitoes from laying their eggs. I'll post pictures later after I finish "decorating".
I don't really have time to plant some plants around the pond (I'll do that next year), but I kinda did decide that I wanted to put SOME plants IN the pond. The pond is mostly shaded and most of the pond plants I read about need more sun than it gets. I vaguely remember that someone said that hostas loved their pond. Can I buy some hostas and just set them in their pots in the pond?
Robin in NC
You can use Mosquito Dunks, you don't have to have a pump in a wildlife pond. They are harmless to pets and other wildlife.
Many pond plants will tolerate shade, my fish pond only gets morning sun and it is lush with plants. Parrot's feather, golden club, azolla, aquatic forget me not, water celery, mare's tail, many different rushes all do fine. Pickeral and waterlilies don't....
Couldn't tell you about hostas, I'm not one to grow non aquatics in the pond.
The only non-aquatics I've planted in the pond are impatiens, and having experience with them, I feel confident that with soil in the pots, the roots of the hostas will likely rot if they're in a constantly wet environment. Better to buy them barefoot, or you can gently rinse the soil off yourself. Then anchor them in the rocks around the edge of the pond, or if your prefer, fill the pots with small gravel and plant the roots in that.
robin and nancy,
I'm the one who said Hosta's would grow in water, and I don't think I actually gave a medium for the roots. I do have a Hosta in my stream, so even though it IS in soil, it is in flowing water and only partially covered. It is going strong after 3 years.

Possible Grow List ?'s
I know this inquiry might seem a bit strange being that it's June, but I am putting together a list of 'potential candidate varieties' for this Fall as well as next year's Spring/Summer garden. I do this every year in June and then try to combine and narrow down the 'possibles list' with the varieties I already know do quite well here in hot, humid Georgia. I try not to combine lists though before getting some input from folks here on Gardenweb who have grown the varieties that are unknown to me, so if you might be so kind...:-)
For any of you who have grown the following vegetables and flowers, please feel free to provide as much info as possible on productivity, disease resistance, and taste.
Any info on varieties not listed here that do great for you would also be appreciated!
I am quite curious about the following:
-Rose (Amish Heirloom)
-Prudens Purple
-Aunt Ginny's Purple
-Jaune Flamme
-Kellogg's Breakfast
Winter Squash:
North Georgia Candy Roaster (not the North Carolina Candy Roaster)
Piel De Sapo (Southern Exposure Seed)
Old Time Tennessee
Fall Greens:
Tatsoi Mustard a.k.a. Spoon Lettuce
Four O'Clocks a.k.a Don Pedros
St. John's Wort
Thank You & Please Advise....
Yes, I've grown everything on your list except the squash simply because I have squash bugs that eat every single squash that is not a moschata variety.
All of the tomatoes you have listed grow fine here but have not been huge producers for me. I like to stick with the ones that really put it out, and throw in only a few that are unique or unusual for color especially in salads.
Hi GGG, I hope you are doing well.
I know you like Green Zebra, b/c one of the first gardenweb posts I ever read was a link with you recommending it. Yellow pear too...
Are there any cherries that you particularly like for 'putting it out' as you said;-) Larger tomatoes too-would love to know what you've had luck with, since you're not too far away.
By the way, I'm not surprised about the others on the list, but I thought Jaune Flamme was supposed to set like crazy. Maybe not here though. Hmm...
Sungold is the cherry for "putting it out" and you can't go wrong with Juliette which is more saladette. Both are hybrids but tasty. Jaune Flamme can put it out, but it really depends on the year. This year it would be KILLER - Juane likes some moisture and lower temps.
I love Marlglobe and Rutgers tomatoes for sure - they are not salad tomatoes but best for cooking or canning but boy, they can produce. I use these only as companion plants to tastier tomatoes - I mix them together for canning and freezing. Paul Robeson, Cherokee Purple or Black Krim do a wonderful job of tasty and productive tomatoes. Then there is Roma. That KICKS it out.
Black Cherry is pretty productive and it's really tasty. However in my own garden it becomes a stink bug magnet - so I use it as a trap crop and don't really get to eat them :( The only thing I've found to alleviate the stink bugs is to plant the old fashioned sunflowers with lots of pollen. Weird, but it seems to work!
Of course add some "wild cards" to your tomatoes every year to try something fun and see how it works in your garden. We all have different soil, different sun patterns, different micro climates - what works for you may not love my 16 hr a day 100 degree beating hot sun filled garden and experimenting is just fun!
Hey GGG,
It's been a while since you posted, but I wanted to thank you for the info! I am going to plant heirloom roma since you said that. I have seeds and it did produce a lot even when I neglected my roma plants a couple of years ago (funny how I forgot that). They make good fried green tomatoes too, which I found surprising.
Oh, and I have Cherokee Purple, Black Krim, and even a Rutgers out in the yard now. The Cherokee purples have set very well; however, they never seem to be as disease resistant as all the catalogs tout them to be-not for me at least. Rutgers is doing quite nicely and the black krim is slow moving, but that's probably the heat. I expect it to 'kick em' out' as the weather gets nicer in terms of temp.
I think my list for next summer in reference to tomatoes will include Florida Pink, Big Rainbow, Prudens Purple, Glacier, Moskvich, and Lollipop. This is all open to revisions though, of course (smile).
I'm confused on the early varieties though (Glacier, Moskvich, Blood Butcher, Stupice, etc). I have found a lot of info as to how they are early and more cold tolerant than others but not much as to how they handle the rest of our summers or anyone else's for that matter.
Going to peruse Gardenweb again and see if I can find anything...
Thanks Again, GGG,
No heirlooms are all that disease resistant. I keep on mine, and prune them constantly. Any leaf that is discolored is pruned off. I keep a pair of scissors, a film canister with a little rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball in it. Every cut gets a wipe of the blades of scissors so I'm not spreading anything. Sometimes by the end of the season my tomatoes don't have a whole lot of leaves, but they have some - always enough to keep things covered for sun scald etc. This helps keep many leaf diseases in check and keeps things from spreading, especially when we get summer rains. Keep any watering off of the foliage, way down low , about an inch or two from the base of the plant. My tomatoes are had watered because I don't have a drip irrigation on them, seems to work just fine and I rarely loose a tomato plant.
Stupice is an early producer. I've grown it, then cut it back, fertilized it and let it rest over the hottest part of summer and it's produced again in fall some years. Some years not. You can always grow it, and have a cherry tomato seeded and read to plant after Stupice is done. I will still plant tomatoes in July - cherries work well for fall harvesting. I drape a piece of white cloth over the tomato cage of late planted tomatoes, and leave it there for two weeks to break some of the heat. Usually works great!

Publisher's Description
The Morphology of Biblical Greek explains, in a way second-year Greek students can understand, how Greek words are formed. It shows that Greek word formation follows a limited set of rules. Once these rules are understood, it becomes clear that forms which once seemed to be irregular or an exception actually follow these morphological rules. The Morphology of Biblical Greek has five parts: 1.The rules that determine how Greek words change. 2. The rules of verb formation, from augment to personal ending. 3. Paradigms for every type of noun and adjective form, with all the words that belong in each category and any peculiarities of a given word. 4. All the verbs and principal parts, with verbs that follow the same rules grouped together. 5. An index of all words in the New Testament with their morphological category. The Morphology of Biblical Greek contains the most complete set of paradigms for nouns, verbs, adjectives, and pronouns available for New Testament Greek.
