The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

access'. For instance if I am a AFPAK analyst with an SCI clearance, I may
be able to view all reporting from one agency relating to AFPAK, but I
have to apply for special permission for my computer to access that
information. But if I click on a link which has nothing to do with
Afghanistan, my computer won't be able to read it.
The process to get access is a pain in the ass. It took me 3 or 4 weeks to
gain the necessary access and there was still a wealth of sites I would
benefit from gaining access to but stopped because I was tired of driving
all over Bagram.
Perhaps, the oversight this program offers the security officer, gives
them enough confidence to allow analysts to roam free.

Spies Want to Go Open-Source to Stop the Next WikiLeaks
Adam Clark Estes 10:45 AM ET
At their main trade show GEOINT this week, the intelligence community
talked a lot about making progress in preventing the next Bradley
Manning from leaking government secrets. Keeping a tight grip on
sensitive information has proved to be a challenge for spies in a
technological age that celebrates the free flow of data, but Mike
Rogers, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, thinks they're
making progress. "The trick is, can we allow robust sharing for
analytical and operational purposes and protect the information at the
same time?" Rogers told Eli Lake at The Daily Beast. "I argue yes, there
are lots of ways to do it."
The preferred method is a type of auditing software that makes it easier
to spy on the spies. Lake reports that a program called SureView is
gaining popularity within the nation's 16 intelligence agencies because
it specializes in "behavior-based internal monitoring." In other words,
SureView is designed to catch whistleblowers early in the act. Lake
gives this example of how it might work:
It is like a scene out of the television show 24. An intelligence
officer is surfing a top-secret government file that is out of his
normal work portfolio. A computer program alerts a "data analyst," who
then monitors the officer's computer activity. If the officer acts like
a potential leaker, sending an encrypted email or using an unregistered
thumb drive, the analyst might push a button and watch a screen video of
the officer's last hour of work. Once a case is made that a leak might
be imminent, it is checkmate: the agent is thwarted.
The mission to keep a closer eye on agents comes at a time when the
intelligence community is also trying to open up the flow of information
internally. At the intelligence technology magazine Defense Systems,
Amber Corrin reports that some agencies are experimenting with using
more open-source software and trying to take advantage of mobile apps.
"When our content is easily accessible, when it's usable within an open
environment and with a different delivery model--those three
[capabilities] are going to help us get to deeper analytics," Letitia
Long, director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA),
said at a GEOINT symposium on Monday. "We free up the time of our
analysts to be focused on the 'so what?' to be focused on the context,
experiment with the new sensor data and the new phenomena, developing
new analytic tools and techniques."
At face value, encouraging more sharing within the intelligence
community seems dangerous, if not a little bit ironic. But by making
opening up the flow of information within these agencies, security
experts are also better able to implement new systems like SureView more
easily. Said NGA's Ann Carbonell at GEOINT about collaborating, "We want
that as open as possible, so we can insert technology as fast as
This sort of thinking could've prevented the whole WikiLeaks fiasco from
ever happening. At least that's what the software manufacturers say.
"Had SureView been on Bradley Manning's machine," SureView's director
Ryan Szedelo told The Daily Beast, "No one would know who Bradley
Manning is today."

Catching the Next WikiLeaker
The Daily Beast, Wednesday, October 19, 2011, 10:03pm (PDT)
By Eli Lake
It is like a scene out of the television show 24. An
intelligence officer is surfing a top secret government file
that is out of his normal work portfolio. A computer program
alerts a "data analyst," who then monitors the officer's
computer activity. If the officer acts like a potential
leaker, sending an encrypted email or using an unregistered
thumb drive, the analyst might push a button and watch a
screen video of the officer's last hour of work. Once a case
is made that a leak might be imminent, it is check mate: the
agent is thwarted.
Bing even more:
That is the kind of scenario Ryan Szedelo, the manager for
Raytheon's SureView software, is describing this week for
intelligence professionals in San Antonio shopping for new
gizmos at the annual GEOINT conference. The government is
already beginning to use the software and others like it in a
concerted effort to clamp down on secret leaks.
"SureView is designed to capture the next Bradley Manning,"
Szedelo said of the Army private who uploaded hundreds of
thousands of classified documents from the military's secret
Internet protocol router network (SIPRnet) onto a remote
server affiliated with WikiLeaks.
With his secret clearance, Manning had access not only to the
raw intelligence reports in Iraq, but also to aircraft videos,
analysis from the field in Afghanistan, and candid diplomatic
cables from U.S. embassies all over the world.
"Had SureView been on Bradley Manning's machine, no one would
know who Bradley Manning is today," Szedelo said in an
SureView is a type of auditing software that specializes in
"Behavior Based Internal Monitoring." It is designed to
identify and catch what is known in the counterintelligence
trade as the "insider threat," a trusted user who is willing
to steal the secrets he or she is obliged to protect.
Until very recently, WikiLeaks had many leaders of the U.S.
intelligence community willing to pull back the kind of
intelligence sharing started in earnest after the Sept. 11,
2001, attacks. Last October, Director of National Intelligence
James Clapper said at a speech in Washington that "the
WikiLeaks episode represents what I would consider a big
yellow flag." He added, "I think it is going to have a very
chilling effect on the need to share."
Today Clapper is taking a different tone. This week at GEOINT,
the annual trade show for the intelligence industry, Clapper
said one of his top priorities was to merge intelligence
collection with intelligence analysis, a process that by
definition would require much more sharing among the 16 U.S.
intelligence agencies under his direction.
What has changed in the last year is the technology to catch
the next big leaker.
"The trick is, can we allow robust sharing for analytical and
operational purposes and protect the information at the same
time?" House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers
(R-MI) said in an interview. "I argue yes, there are lots of
ways to do it."
Rogers said he favors something called "smart access," where
an intelligence analyst not only would be monitored but would
have to be cleared or authenticated to enter specific servers
outside his or her purview. "These are just trip wires. I
prefer you have to knock on the door to get in-you should need
to be authenticated to get into the next level."
The intelligence community has had auditing software for
years. SureView came on the market in 2002. But the programs
were buggy and often prone to false positives, alerting a
network administrator too often to routine behavior. In the
last year, according to three U.S. intelligence officials who
asked not to be named, the software has become more automated
and easier to apply to larger databases.
"The technology has gotten substantially better in the last
year," said Jeffrey Harris, a former head of the National
Reconnaissance Office, the intelligence agency responsible for
launching spy satellites. "The problem with audit files was it
took an army of people to understand them. Now we have
rule-driven systems and expert systems that help us reason
through the data."
Charles Allen, who served as the first intelligence chief for
the Department of Homeland Security, said the base where
Manning was stationed in Iraq did have auditing software in
place that could have caught him, but it was not yet
implemented. "In the future, military intelligence units in
the war zones and elsewhere will ensure there is a strong
audit capability," he said.
Allen has a point. Earlier this month, President Obama signed
a new executive order on protecting classified information.
The order created a new "insider threat task force" inside the
intelligence community, chaired by the attorney general and
the director of national intelligence.
The new directive from the White House is driven in part by
new technology. The budget for this kind of
counterintelligence software is still secret, but judging from
the trade room floor, it's a major draw for the U.S.
government. The Science Applications International Corporation
(SAIC) is offering a software system called "checkmate" to
detect external threats. A companion product still in
development for the internal threat is called "inmate."
This kind of auditing software is one growth area in a new era
of shrinking intelligence budgets, Lynn Dugle, president of
Raytheon Intelligence and Information Systems, told The Daily
Beast. "We absolutely think there will be growth in the
insider threat-internal monitoring market," she said.
Trevor Timm, an activist for the Electronic Frontier
Foundation who closely watches the legal issues raised by
WikiLeaks, said: "The government has every right to secure
their own networks, but if they want to really stop leaks,
they need to stop classifying so much information that is not
really secret." Timm added: "The government classified a
staggering 77 million documents last year, a 40 percent
increase on the year before. And a recent report to Congress
showed 4.2 million people have classified security clearances.
That's more than the city of Los Angeles. As long as the
government won't address this underlying problem, people will
always find ways to leak, no matter the security" less

The term "rhinoplasty" refers to plastic surgery that involves making changes to the internal and external structures of the nose. While this may be performed for purely cosmetic reasons to improve the appearance, often the primary or concomitant goal is to restore adequate nasal breathing, and is then referred to as a "functional rhinoplasty". This is separate from a septoplasty, which involves only repair of the internal wall that divides the nasal cavities, or from a "cosmetic rhinoplaty", which is only concerned about the appearance. A "functional rhinoplasty" typically involves repair of the "nasal valves", which are the internal nostrils, and can be congenitally narrow, collapsed, or scarred from prior surgery.
The indications for a functional rhinoplasty include, but are not limited to:

Wegmans coming to East Hanover
I've never been to one, but it seems like some people rave about them. Thoughts?
Jul '12
When I lived in upstate NY = Corning area, we had a Wegman's and I MISS it so!! It's a great family owned company - based out of Rochester NY. They have some stores in NJ.... I've been to the Princeton store, but too far away for weekly shopping. I was so excited to see the article in the Record about Wegman's. I'd say it's a cross between Whole Foods and Kings... the one in Corning had a HUGE fresh food/prepared foods area... similiar to a food court at the mall with a fresh pasta station, Chinese food prep, sushi, etc. and it had seating area to eat. I just always like the feel of the store. It's is always top rated for "best employer" in the US and top food stores in polls. We're lucky to have them come to this area!
I too have come from NY and miss Wegman's desperately. On occasion I have even gone down to Bridgewater just to get my "Wegman's Fix"! How sick is that? I was thrilled to hear one is finally coming to our area. It won't happen soon enough!
I caught wind of this many months ago, and I'm VERY excited. Wegman's, for those of you who don't know, is a home chef's mecca. Count on them for consistently quality products and those hard to find ingredients. Very reasonable prices, but don't bother looking for a 10 page sale flyer or triple coupon bargains of the week. Not that kinda place. They have a prepared foods section that rivals some local take-out joints (Wegman's hires culinary school grads to head their kitchen). This small family-owned chain is unlike overpriced specialty-product-only Whole Foods and most definitely unlike your average grocery store chain (Shop Rite, A&P, Stop&Shop) with wilted, sorry looking produce and that nasty chemical floor cleaner smell. Looking forward to saving myself the drive from Morristown to Bridgewater once a week!!
Yes, can't wait for Wegmans. We make the trip to Bridgewater every couple of weeks.

U.S. House members propose Delaware River Basin legislation
House Resolution 2325, known as the Delaware River Basin Conservation Act of 2011, was introduced by Democratic U.S. Rep. John Carney, the at-large congressman in Delaware. The legislation would require the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to implement restoration and protection efforts in the four-state basin region.
"It's a joint effort by this region to highlight the importance of the Delaware River Basin and give it status which is equal to other kinds of protected watersheds like the Chesapeake Bay," said Meehan following a tour of the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum on Thursday.
The Senate's companion legislation was introduced by U.S. Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., and recently was referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.
As a resident of Delco, what do you think about this legislation? Is it a good idea?

So I've finally decided to come out to my brother. I feel really bad for not tellling him sooner, but nothing I can do about that now. I was just looking for some input on what you guys think of coming out in an email...? He's at college, so I dont see him that much, but I am going to visit him this weekend. The thing is, I'll be with another friend the whole time, and I'm just not brave enough to do it in person I dont think. My friend is telling me she thinks its kind of shady to do it in an email, and that my brother might be offended. I just think I should be able to do it however works for me. What do you guys think? Thanks!
i sy to do it in which ever way you think is right...if you don't think that u would be able to say it to him in person or over the phone then i say use e mail...
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to DANCE IN THE RAIN."
I came out to my girlfriend in an email, awhile after I met her. She was understanding, and was not bothered that it was in an email, except that I apparently sent it from an email address I hadn't given to her (I could have sowrn that I had), so she wasn't totally sure it was me.
Of course, she'd been there. I still think your brother wouldn't be offended, especially if you explained why it was difficult/nerve-wracking to try to tell him in person. Decide based on how understanding he is.
If I were you, I would stay away from emails. At the least I would call him and tell him. You've lived with presumably all of your life so he at least deserves that.
Good luck!
In person is best with family. You can always cheat, if you think you'll hesitate in person, and e-mail him in advance and tell him you have something important to tell him when you see him this weekend. Then, at some point, he'll likely ask what it is...
My gut reaction is to say, "tell him in person". It's just easier to read people's reactions in person so there is less room for mis-communication. In the end though, it's up to you to decide.
Yeah, you should tell him in person. To me it just seems like a more honest thing to do, plus you can read people's reactions better that way. As for myself I have used e-mail before but that was just because I wanted the one person to know before the word got around.

"PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale (PS3) added 1,139 pre-orders for a total of 16,696" - Source
I'm making this thread because in VGChartz latest pre-order article it was revealed that PS All Stars only has 16,696 pre-orders, meaning that Who wants to be a millionaire: 1st edition (Wii) and Transformers: fall of Cyberteon (X360) have more pre-orders in the USA than it. I find this shocking! I havent been following the pre-order chart for a while, so when i started to watch it again a few weeks ago I was expecting a game like PS All Stars to have about 50k pre-orders at the absolute minimum, but 16,696 seems incredibly low.
Is it gonna be a huge flop? Will pre-orders pick up rapidly in the coming weeks? What's going on?!

Laugh all you want! Dead serious. If FFG can't yet send the 'acoutrements,' well okay; but send me an X-Wing. While you're at it, send me a WoW fighter; don't care which one, so long as it's a 'standard' size. A Mustang or Zero or something.
I'll do a physical analysis, with photos, comparing the X-Wing to the WoW fighter and to the comparable X-Wing from Hasbro Titanium, Micro Machines, WotC's Starship Battles and F-Toys (all of which I have). I'll calculate the scale of each, and provide a description/analysis of the FFG ship's construction, decoration & materials. I'm not the "go-to guy" for rules or gameplay, but I am pretty good at this sort of thing. And you won't even have to give any secrets away.
Might even stir some excitement again.

ReportsEducation TrainingEvaluating Alternative Meteorological Data Sources for Potential Use in Irrigation Management Carefully selected alternative data sources can complement agricultural weather station networks, provided data and siting biases can be addressed adequately through calibration and associated data techniques. Machine learning methods can be helpful in filling spatial data gaps. Educational video and slide show content addition to OAP and TXHPET Web sites A two-year project to develop educational digital media addressing Ogallala water use issues for Texas High Plains agricultural producers has demonstrated that online outlets are an effective means for dissemination. Cotton irrigation for sustainable production in a thermally limited region Irrigation of 5 to 7 inches, depending on rainfall, produced 2.5 bales of cotton in Southwestern Kansas. Factors limiting cotton are total growing degree days and hail storms. Field Evaluation of Center Pivot Nozzle Package Application Intensity A tipping bucket rain gauge was added to the data collection set during linear and center pivot uniformity evaluations. The collected data are consistent with industry ranges of application rates for particular nozzles and configurations. Training, user feedback, testing, economic impact, and revisions of the Crop Water Allocator and Crop Yield Predictor models These models are useful and user-friendly irrigation resource management planning tools. Impact of the products can be maximized by incorporating user feedback, expanding the regional applicability, and supporting adoption through promotion, training and technical support. Training, user feedback, testing, economic impact, and revisions of the Crop Water Allocator and Crop Yield Predictor models.

This purple tiger plant has been growing for around a month now. There are a few small flower buds forming on it. So, does it require fertiliser of any sort to boost it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would say yes. Not because the plant looks bad but 'cause they all need fertilizer. |
- Posted by smokemaster_2007 (My Page) on Tue, Nov 27, 12 at 5:09
I find using a very weak fert. mix about every time I water works better than full strength at any time. Make sure you water until some comes out the bottom to wash out any build up. |
Yes, I suggest what smoke and rockguy say. The plant looks good for one month and I wouldn't try to fix something that isn't broke. Bruce |

"Weekly Weakly" is a mantra that some of us use....reduced, but frequent doses. The plant looks quite healthy despite the bad looking soil. Also, toss those eggshells..... they're doing NOTHING for the plant.

I've dried another batch of seeds, have some going out to Kevin and Angela. Anyone else that wants to try some drop me a line. I'd start seed around March 1st, set them mid-April and you'll have marble-sized garden cherries to put in your salads all summer long.

Oh ok, you twisted my arm! I tried Matt's tomatoes once, but wasn't as lucky as your nice pictures of the Everglades tomato show. I want the special Tom strain. :) I am sending you a PM. |
Too funny Amber, I just posted that I thought they'd do very well in a Topsy Turvy, I'm going to try one that way.... Tom |

I'd like some too if you've got enough, Tom. I just sent you a PM. John |
Hi Tom, just a reminder to keep me on the list for the yummy 'maters. Thanks! |
Amber and Lou, thanks for the info, think I'll consider a bucket with holes on the side. John and Trini, CYE. Tom |

Tom sent me some of these seeds and I am so excited to try them! What is the best way to start them? |
Today I saw Tom's tomato plant. That is the biggest tomato plant I have ever seen! I stuffed myself with little tomatoes. :) |

Thanks, Tom, for the seeds you so kindly sent me! I gave half to a friend across town. We're starting them separately, so we have backup tomatoes in case something untoward happens to them at one home or the other. |
Tina convinced me to snap a few more pictures, see below. ...I gave half to a friend across town. We're starting them separately, so we have backup tomatoes in case something untoward happens to them at one home or the other. Too finny, give them time and the plants will spread across town and meet in the middle! |

Tom, do you think that cages are necessary for this variety? Looking at your photos, I'm wondering if they would do just the same if they weren't in cages? Would love your opinion. |
I started some of these 4 years ago and they almost took over my garden. The seeds will survive the compost pile but for some reason they didn't come back last year. I have one plant that showed up after the last cold spell in my front yard. It already is blooming. |
If there are extras, I would like some. I sent you an email Kay |
Tom I've already started the ones that you sent to me. Is it too early? I've already go sprouts. |
Tom, do you think that cages are necessary for this variety? If you have the room to let then sprawl along the ground they will do that. Do you remember my pictures of them in the cattails? Oukay - I'm at work, I'll check for your info when I get home. I've already started the ones that you sent to me. Is it too early? I've already go sprouts. No, that's fine, I'm just saying you'll want to dry some seeds and start them closer to summer so you'll have these over the summer since they will set fruit through the summer, although I suspect that where you are you could probably grow almost any cherry through the summer since your night temps are at least 10 degrees cooler than mine. Tom |

WOW!!! Those are some high potential tomatoes! They are HUGE! I'm going to try to grow some as well. If they survive in my yard, then they'll survive anything! ;-) |

So Tom, Everybody enjoy ..... Does that mean that all of our neighbors are also going to enjoy? Amazing stuff. I read a story someplace about somebody had a current tomato that dropped off the vine when ripe and people didn't like to buy the seed for it. The grower couldn't figure out why because they found it easier to harvest; just put a drop cloth underneath the plant; with the plant at a higher elevation; so the little gems of goodness could just be funneled down .... into the cattails! Who knew cattails like tomatoes so much :) Is the plant you are growing now descended from one of those cattail currents? If so I should ask for some of your Tom's Vigorous Cattail Tomato Seed; surely no Iguana would touch that! ~dianne |
Yes and yes :-) My neighbors on both sides have been blessed with these plants, scattered by the birds, and since the first year I've never had to plant again, they come up as volunteers every year and if I don't like where they are I just move them. Tom |
Hey Tom! Just wanted to let you know I got the seeds! Thanks so much!!! Already got em started and cant wait! ...Go Warhawks! ;D |
- Posted by swamptribe 9 (My Page) on Tue, Feb 8, 11 at 15:22
Planted the seeds you sent me Tom, and have 16 beautiful little plants. Just re-potted them into larger containers. Going to take some to the garden club for the exchange next week. |
Next come the goldens and the whites :-), too bad there are not any pinks and blacks :-( Tom |
BTW, if anyone is curious how I prepped these seeds I put the pulp of 15 maters in 8oz of water for two days, then washed the seeds in a strainer and put the remaining pulp/seeds on a coffee filter spread thin with a butter knife and left there to dry for three days. The seeds will stick to the filter and be laborious to pick individually, instead treat the filter like a piece of sandpaper, fold it in half and put a paper plate below it and start rubbing the filter between your hands and the seeds will drop to the plate when they are dry enough. Repeat this procedure every 5 days and you'll have more seeds than you could possibly know what to do with, with minimal effort. Tom |
Sounds like a slick idea. I saved my first tomato seeds a few weeks ago. I fermented them and then rinsed. After that I spread them on a paper plate and found that many stuck stubbornly. The next batch went better. I spread them on some wax paper to dry for a couple days and then they went on a paper plate to finish. I now have some UglyRipe F2 :( fermenting. Also a batch from a plant that came up on it's own and grew like nothing I've seen before. I'm calling those seeds "Mystery" |
- Posted by ibarbidahl 9 (My Page) on Thu, Feb 10, 11 at 14:35
Have enough of giving freebies, or do you have room for one more? You certainly have a valuable commodity there! Wish I had some cattails to let the bush meander through. Beautiful place there. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Barb's blurbs
I still have about 300 seeds left from the second batch, I don't mind sending a few to anyone that wants to try them, just drop me a line. Tom |

THANKS! Received the seeds over the weekend, went ahead and potted a few, saved a few to pot later, can't wait to see how they do! As I mentioned Tom in my email I have "wild" cherry tomatoes come up in various places every year around this time, and they are delicious, but will only survive during this weather. Thanks again! |
Thanks so much, Tom. I received my seeds yesterday. Carol B. |
My pleasure, we'll need to post this summer, with pictures, to see how everyone is doing. Tom |
Tom, A friend gave my wife and I some seeds for the Everglades Tomato about a year ago and we are going to start them this week. Do we have to worry about cross pollination from our other tomato's when they bloom? It looks like it is not a problem if they are coming up every year and producing. If we have to protect a few blooms to get seeds we will do it, but it would be nice to just let 'em rip. Thanks for all of the info and the pictures. They look great! Ken |
Ken, I don't worry about it. This question comes up over on the Tomato forum occasionally and tomato guru Dr. Carolyn Male says she grows them separately because the exerted stigmas pose the potential for cross-pollination....I just don't have the room to do it and have not seen a problem so far. Tom |

My pleasure, enjoy. I'll be starting some mid-March to carry me through the summer. Tom |
Hi Tom,if you have any left could I get a few?I could send postage. Debbie in Ga |
Hi Tom,if you have any left could I get a few?I could send postage. Debbie in Ga Hi Deb, I still have nine packets of at least twenty seeds each from the second batch of seeds this year, drop me a line. For those of you that wanted to see what they do when allowed to be rogue vines on the ground here's what they do, notice to the right of my plant in my neighbors pine bark mulch. Starting to fruit.... And, my plant, probably at it's zenith now.... And, I just could not resist throwing in a few pictures of the broccoli. This is all PacMan, what a disappointment. After all the rave reviews last year that's all I grew....small side shoots, definitely my last year growing it compared to Goliath, Barbados and Waltham 29. I always leave the third crop to the bees because they need it and I love watching them in the garden! Tom |
Got my seeds, and I am putting them in pots this afternoon. Thanks!!!! |
- Posted by springtime_fl z9 Brandon, FL (My Page) on Sat, Feb 26, 11 at 13:44
I just saw this thread. Am I too late to get any seeds? I had some seeds several years ago and missplaced them before I had a chance to try them. If you have any extra, do I PM you with my address? Also, would you like postage? Thanks. Gabriele |
Five packs of seeds left and two coffee filter halves that probably have a hundred seeds each left on them, just send me a message via the email link on my page.... Tom |
Forgot that I'd shucked off another 200 seeds from the coffee filters two days ago, so besides the post above I still many, many more seeds :-) Tom |

Loved seeing your pictures. I'd love some seeds if you have them. I live in West Palm Beach and it would be great to have summer tomatoes. I sent you an e-mail. |
- Posted by love_the_yard z9A Jax FL (My Page) on Mon, Feb 28, 11 at 19:52
I have Everglade (singular)!!! I potted half of my seeds the night of Feb 22. Had the first little seedling stick out his head last night, Feb 27. So that was five days for the first to germinate. Yay! I hope the rest of you are having good luck. Tom, this is my first time growing tomatoes of any kind. Do they need to be planted in full sun? |
Do they need to be planted in full sun? They will do best in full sun but if you can't do that afternoon shade is okay. Where did you start them? If inside or in filtered shade you can't just take them out into full sun or they will get sunscald and die...you'd need to "harden" them off with a little more sun every few days before putting them into direct sun. I pot up and move mine from inside to outside at three weeks, on the east side of the house where they get morning sun and afternoon shade. After another three weeks they go into their final containers and into filtered shade all day on the south side under an oak canopy, then the next weekend they go into full sun because that gives me two days to watch them and make sure they are doing okay. Some folks just start them in full sun right from the beginning but for working folks than can be risky, they can dry out and burn up or drown in a rainstorm.... Tom |

So, I can use these tomatoes as groundcover right? :) Sure, if you want your ground cover a foot high and plan to replace it every 4-6 months :-) :-( |
Hi, Tom, Thank you so much for the seeds....just got back from our NOVA family visit. The seeds you sent were in our one month worth of mail from "Post Office Hold Mail". Sincerely, Freya |

I'm up to four of six seeds germinated. Yay! |
So, Cathy says to me that if her Cherries Jubilee allamanda that was under the everglades tomato is dead I'm dead meat too. So, I though I'd better find out if it was still alive...for those of you that wanted some of these seeds you need to know this tomato could be considered an "invasive species" :-) :-( Amazingly, it's still alive but needs quite a bit of work.... Someone asked me about nematodes and I didn't have the answer then, but do now. This thing was loaded with nematodes and fruiting like crazy. I'll bet whoever is working on resistant varieties is crossing it with this little bugger. Anyone want about 10,000 seeds? Tom |
- Posted by love_the_yard z9A Jax FL (My Page) on Sun, Mar 6, 11 at 10:25
Tom, I just LOVE the allamanda story - that is awesome! Dumb question about nematodes from a newbie - can you see them in that photo above? I did look at nematodes on Google Images, but can't see them in your photo. But I believe you, if you say they are there. By the way, I am four for six seeds germinating. Not sure he last two are gonna go. Still have 10 seeds still set aside in the envelope. :) Yay! Carol |
do you still have seeds to share? I would love to have a few if you do Carol |
No Carol, you can't see them, just the root damage. Healthy roots: Nematode infested roots, see why they call them Root Knot nematodes? To the other Carol, I have plenty of seeds left, just drop me a line at the email link on my page. Tom |
- Posted by love_the_yard z9A Jax FL (My Page) on Mon, Mar 7, 11 at 22:30
Tom, thanks for the tutorial on nematodes - a picture is worth a 1,000 words. Interesting! Question: I've seen your photos and know these things get huge. What would be your recommended spacing when set in the ground? Is two feet adequate? |
What would be your recommended spacing when set in the ground? Is two feet adequate? Nope, definitely not, bettter give them 5 feet of space and still plan on keeping them trimmed. Thanks for the info on firespike, that thing was only about 8" tall and in a gallon container when I got it last year.... I'm going to have to put it in the ground and cut it back so I will have cuttings :-) Tom |
- Posted by love_the_yard z9A Jax FL (My Page) on Tue, Mar 8, 11 at 7:51
Hahahahahaha! So ok, you sent me sixteen seeds, I germinated four of six and have a backlog inventory of ten. But I only have room to plant TWO!!! |
Tom Is that the everglades that you dug up? Can I bother you for more seeds? The ones that you sent me were planted wrong (I know now what to do) or is it too late to start them? |
I've depleted my last one-hundred roll set of stamps! Envelopes I have but stamps are now being requested :-( Tom |
- Posted by leelee_2008 10 (My Page) on Sat, Mar 12, 11 at 18:44
Tom, just wanted to say Thank You! I started two this weekend :) |
I sprouted the everglade seeds under the fridge and potted them up yesterday (thanks again Tom). They look a little shocked to see sunshine. Kinda like me a week ago. That is pretty cool that that feller could be so thrifty with all that nematode infection. Wow. We used to get horse manure at the Pompano race track years ago and I remember that the piles were absolutely solid with cherry tomatoes fruiting in the summer heat. We had thought that the seeds were in the manure from the horses being fed tomatoes but that seems a little unlikely now that I think about it. Maybe they were the same wild everglade cherry. I have some stamps and a few of the seeds left that Tom sent me so I can send some on....pay it forward. |

I better see if I can actually find them tomorrow - got about 50 open seed packets jumbled up all over. |
Sorry to those who are waiting for seeds - I either can't find the few remaining or mistakenly tossed them or I planted them all, not sure which. |
No worries, but I won't pick up another roll of stamps until Saturday...I still have about 300 seeds processed, and about another 3-4K that I can process if need be :-) Tom |
- Posted by love_the_yard z9A Jax FL (My Page) on Tue, Mar 15, 11 at 19:54
Tom, I am new to these tomatoes. What do you recommend as a planting medium? Mine are just about ready to be planted. If I use 5-gallon buckets, what do you recommend? If they go directly into the ground, what do you recommend? If I am planting them in the cattails, what do you recommend? Just kidding about that last one. Thanks! |

My garden and I have been in Idaho for the past 16 yrs, but dreaming of moving to So Florida this year. I started reading this forum to educate myself about such a different world of gardening. In addition to learning more than I could've imagined, I've become charmed and inspired by the kindness and ingenuity of all the folks here. Tom, I was wondering how the Everglades currant tomato would do in Boise, Idaho where most of our summer is way too hot for tomatoes to set fruit. We often have a whole month with highs over 100*F. ("But it's a dry heat.") What do you think? Heather |
Carol - put some in starter cups with starter medium, and put a few in the ground where you want them, and see how it goes. Remember that these are wild tomatoes...you'll do fine. Heather - I would give it a try, genetically they are programmed to survive the harshest of conditions and propagate the species. Tom |
Well, I have more stamps and more seeds when out today. If you don't get your seeds by the end of the week then I've messed up with your correspondence, just drop me a line and I'll get them off to you....I packed up all the rest of the 2011 seeds, still have 14 packets left for anyone else interested in trying these hardy little tomatoes. Tom |
Tom, I'm in S St Pete and I would love to try some of these seeds! Tomatoes are SO hard to grow here for me. |
- Posted by love_the_yard z9A Jax FL (My Page) on Sun, Apr 10, 11 at 14:08
Tom, First, I've been thinking a lot about you and the fact that you have dispersed wonderful tomatoes to virtually the entire state of Florida. I am here forward christen you "Tommy Tomatoseed" in the footsteps of the historic Johnny Appleseed! Second, I have a question. All four of my plants are in the ground and have been for about a week. They are about 4-5" tall. They are planted in very rich soil. They get full sun from noon through sunset - about 7-8 hours a day. In your estimation, approximately how long until I have tomatoes? Thanks! |
The site selling seeds is getting $8 a pop, that's criminal! I'm sure you meant 4-5", they'll start bearing by the time they are 2' tall. Tom |
- Posted by love_the_yard z9A Jax FL (My Page) on Sun, Apr 10, 11 at 19:49
Tommy Tomatoseed, they are four-five inches tall. Yeah, inches. For whatever reason, they didn't make good progress in their individual starter cups. Hoping they will leap forward now that they are in the ground. (I did take the time to accustom them to full sun as you instructed.) So I have to wait until they are two feet tall. I wonder how long that generally takes? BTW, I sure did give them a huge portion of my yard. I'm hoping for those 10-foot runners someone mentioned. :) Carol |
- Posted by happy_fl_gardener 9a (My Page) on Sun, Apr 10, 11 at 21:32
I have one seedling in the garden. It is about a foot tall now and growing bushy, in a compact way. Like Carol pointed out, the others in small pots are only a few inches tall. Christine |

Hi Tom. Just thought I'd chime in and say that I planted out my starters into my garden from their dixie cups this weekend. They'd been getting accustomed to full sun for a week or so prior. So far so good! Not seeing any transplant shock at all. Thanks for sharing the seeds and your knowledge! Angela |
Tom - Message sent. JP |
Having never started tomatoes from seed I was a bit apprehensive about how to go about doing it. I followed Tina01's post and when she stated it may be overkill for the everglades I ran with it. Put them in starter cups with potting mix and placed them in direct sun right next to my earthboxes. Watered them on occassion and sure enough they emerged in about 12 days. True leaves started forming and I'm headed to GA next week so in the ground one seedling cup's contents went and another went in to a larger pot to carry to GA for my 84 year old mother-in-law who has tended a vegetable garden for as long as I can remember and *loves* cherry tomatoes! I am also taking her 2 Earthboxes for mother's day as she's been threatening to not garden this year but I know how much she loves it! So thanks again Tom! ~Jo |
- Posted by gardengimp 9B Seminole County F (My Page) on Wed, Apr 13, 11 at 18:17
Jo - did you know you can get a stand for the earthboxes? I'm going to attempt to make a stand from PVC for my MIL who just had hip surgery. I've got an everglades tomato going in a hanging planter for her to try. ~dianne |

I have flowers blooming on my everglades too! It's good that the plants will set fruit in the heat because I didn't plant my seeds until the end of February. Christine |
I planted the seeds Tom sent me (THANK YOU!) this spring. They are planted in a tire and are in bloom! I am SO EXCITED!!! Here they are, as of a few minutes ago: |
Hmmm, I wonder if mine are way too late. I just potted up three plants, the seedlings are about 3-4 inches high. They took quite a long while to germinate. |
Pnbrown, I'm in a much warmer climate than you - I started mine and kept them in the greenhouse - I was able to bring them out earlier than you - maybe that's cheating - ya think?!! |
Yes, it was :). Even though I am in florida gardening for a while, in 9a, no greenhouse. |

On the Everglades Tomatoes I just did the first potting to a larger cup today , now they are only an inch high. On my Wild Guatemalan Jungle Tomatoes they are around three inches high and were potted up to larger cups a few days ago. These were sent to me from a prospector in Central America that ran across them as he was mining. I want to see if they are similar to the Everglades Tomato in taste and growth and I will plant them a good distance away from the Everglades Tomatoes so they wont cross. As this is a test of the Wild Guatemalan Jungle Tomato I will grow two in pots, and two in the ground. I'll keep you informed by posting the outcome. Lou |

By the way, if you are like me, you will want to save Tom's instructions above for harvesting and saving Everglades seeds. They are detailed and just what you need to know. His directions are above, in this same thread, in his post on Wednesday, February 9, 11 at 19:24. Posts are listed in date/time order. Carol |
From Tom's kind gift of seeds, I actually got my 1st Everglade tomato from my hanging-pot experiment. Can't wait for more to hang down! Thanks Tom. |
My pleasure, think I'll give that a try, really looks interesting. The allamanda is coming back beautifully. I snapped these pictures yesterday morning. Anybody in St. Pete want to come over and get some volunteers before I pull them out? Tom |
Tom, my dad said they had the first cherries today from a couple of plants that I started from seeds you sent me. One is 4 feet tall and really thriving, in-ground. |
Tom I'd come get them if I were closer! I guess I'm going to have to start some more next month |

Sorry Jules, start them NOW! Are the Everglade tomatoes the same as Matt's wild cherry? I would love to try some of these. That's a good question that only geneticist could answer for sure ;-) I'm all out for the now, I'll process a few seeds from the next volunteers but that won't be until the fall. Tom |

Aren't they wonderful? I eat them straight off the plant, so good. ~dianne |
I took a tomato that split and squeezed it on to the top of the soil in a small pot, then covered it with soil. I kept it damp for a while and the seedlings exploded. Easiest way to start seedlings. |

Garf: Could I interest you in sharing a tomato/tomato seeds with me? Tom is out of everglades currant tomato seeds and I am dying to get some of them. You also my live in my hood as I am also 10b. I am happy to trade it for something else. Some of my prized posessions are cuban oregano with is propagated by cuttings and does amazingly well and is care free in 10b. I also have Jamaican sorrel seeds which makes beautiful bushes and buds that you can turn into a cool red drink. |
Garf, Would you share some tomatoes with me also? I did get some from Tom but have lost them somewhere. Have looked everywhere. Just a few ripe ones in a plastic bag will do. I'll be glad to pay any expenses. Pls email me for my address at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks so much. June. |
I am planting now. Would anyone be willing to send a tomato or two to me? |
Having trouble finding seeds. Are these seeds available commercially? |
Tom, The seeds I got from you several months ago are in containers and are doing okay but it seems the tomatoes disappear from one day to the next. Wondering if something is eating them? I did get a few, though. When I had them in the ground years ago they really bushed out and produced. In these large pots, they are rather straggly looking. Is this typical for the variety? And why are they now called Everglades Currant Tomato seeds? Is this a new variety? Please reply. Thanks, Sheri |
All I have left alive right now is a straggler from last year. It is small but blooming now. I should have a few tomatoes shortly. I do have a few purchased seeds left from last year. |
After 9 days, I have the first signs of life from the tomato that I squeezed into a pot. They do take a little longer to sprout using that method, but the seedlings seem to be healthier. |
- Posted by alexcortez 10b (My Page) on Tue, Oct 11, 11 at 1:25
Looking good garf. Hopefully you did not get hit by the rain/storm. |
We got a good soaking, but no real damage. Hurricane season is almost over. Miami can take a lot of rain because of our flood control canal system. |
Looks like I'm only going to get 3 seedlings from this last batch. I'll have to start some more. |
The first batch seems to be getting stronger. I also found a second batch that I started near the same time. |
One of my Everglades plants is not doing well. It is in a pot and seems to be suffering from a deficiency of some sort. |

Hi-question for Tom or anyone else who has the answer for it......are these Everglades tomatoes the same as Spoon (George Curtis Spoon Anyone have any info on their history-it'd be a neat learning project for students? Thanks all & have a great weekend! |

FWIW, the damage on those leaves above looks a lot like the damage done by tiny sucking insects such as leaf hoppers &/or spider mites.... |

in need of wild everglade tomato seeds - would appreciate very much - this is my 1st year of having a garden and looking for easy to care plants to gain experience - thank you - these sound yummy! |
Wow, I'm surprised this thread is still going. I have a new batch of red seeds but the supply is very limited. I have a huge batch of yellow seeds and the yellow variety has an identical habit and taste to the red. Anyone who would like some seeds just needs to drop me a line, and thank Carol B. (pabrocb), who graciously provided the next round of stamps for free mailings. Tom |
Good morning, Tom! Thank you for sharing the red seeds with me last year - I'd love some seeds for the yellow. The red did wonderfully (is that a word?!)- I will email you. Carol B., thank you for providing postage! |
hi tom i would love some seeds either red or yellow . will email you info. thank you john |
I emailed you, Tom! |
- Posted by priscilla2007 (My Page) on Tue, Jan 31, 12 at 19:07
I would love to try growing these- prefer the red. will send you a message. Thanks |
I emailed you too! Hope you still have some yellow seeds left. And THANK YOU Carol for the postage. That's soo kind of you! |
If I have not responded to anyone, please forgive me, email has been rather hectic. Please drop me a line again. I still have plenty of yellow seeds, and I just started fermenting another batch, probably 500 seeds. I've got another small batch of red seeds drying now too, around 150 or so. Tom |
I would like some of both if you have them. could send you a SASE if I had your address. |
I got them today. Thanks Tom! I'll be starting some on Thursday. :) |

I would love some. Sent you an email. After four years of trying I had my best year with tomatoes ever but that was still less than two pounds of tomatoes from dozens of seedlings (My work schedule and baby plants don't mix too well) and 18 that grew big. My biggest problem is usually wilt but this year I had massive nematode problems. Even the Indian mustard which is usually so care free struggled and stopped growing. The only difference between this year and last was that I had more marigolds than tomatoes in my beds. And I made new beds this year to avoid problems. I canot wait to try these. Thanks a million. Alex |
Hi Alex, since your in 10b you can start a few weeks earlier than I can. A lot of it is in the timing...you need to come to some of the swaps so we can talk and figure out what you're doing. I picked somewhere between 300-400lbs of tomatoes off of 10 plants this year, if you have any interest in what I'm doing view my clippings. I'll send you seeds for both red and yellow currants, they'll go out tomorrow. Tom |
Hello Tom, I have one plant already going strong of this type that I bought off ebay, however I have yet to get 1 tomato off it! The place I put it has a resident "stealer" and eats every one that gets close to ripe. (I've just sent away for a motion sensor sprinkler LOL) Anyway, if you do have any left of the red and yellow I"d love a few. |
Tom! Just had to resurrect this from page 11! Last year you sent me some seeds and I started a few seedlings. Went to GA for 10 days to visit with my inlaws and took a seedling along for my 83 year old mother in law. Got home and had forgotten to show my appointed "waterer" where the seedlings were and of course they dried up and went south. Planted mother in laws in an earthbox and it took off like gangbusters and she happily plucked her little tomatoes all summer long. Spoke with her 2 weeks ago(you may know where this is going) seedlings popping up EVERYWHERE! Even in the flower bed on the other side of her house. She's taken them to the hairdresser, her bible study class, her neighbors....Soooo, the Everglade currant tomatos are thriving in Atlanta, GA! Just had to share! Jo |
- Posted by nessz79_10a (My Page) on Tue, Jun 5, 12 at 15:19
I have mine in a pot. One is getting along ok, but the others are very, very slow. I'm sure I'm not doing something right. The pot is huge and might be blocking the sun for part of the day...maybe that? I waited to plan the yellow currant seeds until I can figure out how these grow best. I can't wait for them to grow and produce! |
Hi Tom... We ate Tom's Tomatoes all year, and finally now the heat and old age have taken their toll, but they are being resurrected all over the place and pop up everywhere! Thanks again! If you have any spare yellow currant seeds maybe you could let me have a few? I'd like to try some, they sound fantastic.... and I have lots of Salvia and other perennials to share if you'd like some...Thanks again, sally |
...(you may know where this is going) seedlings popping up EVERYWHERE!.... Hi Jo, this is one occasion where I like sharing with the birds ;-) Ness, find a place to put some in the ground. Hi Sally, I have two of the yellow currants still prepacked and probably another 500 seeds not packaged. I honestly think the yellow is hardier and better tasting, email me your address again and I'll put them in the mail. Tom |
Thanx Tom, I sent you my address...sally |
- Posted by nessz79_10a (My Page) on Wed, Jun 6, 12 at 16:39
Thanks! I put one out in the garden I just ripped up (watermelons that rotted) and will do the rest when I come back from vacation. I will plant the yellow currant seeds straight in the ground...again, when I get back. |
This is my first year for Everglades currants (seeds from Tom). The red ones are just about dead. The yellows in a 25 gallon container are producing like crazy. However, unlike the photos I have seen of the reds where the fruit and leaves are in similar proportion, the yellows in the container have dense foliage. I have one in the ground and it has not done much more than grow foliage and has produced very little fruit. FWIW |
- Posted by chinchette 9b (My Page) on Thu, Jun 7, 12 at 20:23
Did I read some where that Everglades can be grown in shade, or did I dream it? And when is the earliest I should start some in 9B? |
Did I read some where that Everglades can be grown in shade, or did I dream it? And when is the earliest I should start some in 9B? They prefer sun, won't grow in the shade for very long, may start out great but die off quickly. I'd start seeds every few months year around til you figure out when they do best for you. Tom |
- Posted by chinchette 9b (My Page) on Mon, Jun 11, 12 at 2:08
Hm. Maybe I will have to grow them in my parking lot at my office. Only place I get a lot of sun. |
- Posted by FLgardenmom 10 (My Page) on Mon, Jun 11, 12 at 10:27
I totally mucked up the yellow ones you sent me, Tom. But I have 4 of the reds in the ground that are doing great. Considering how big they get, it's probably just as well....as long as these babies do OK. They are about 10" and looking good so far. Hoping they are big enough to take the heat. Becca |
- Posted by FLgardenmom 10 (My Page) on Mon, Jun 11, 12 at 23:04
Well, checked on them this afternoon, and I have green tomatoes on one of them!!! Wow, how exciting. Tomatoes in June!!!! ...ok, so my cherries and romas are still ripening, but no green ones. This is exciting for sure! Becca |
Hi Becca, the yellows are hardier and lots of us think they taste better, want some more? |
- Posted by FLgardenmom 10 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 12, 12 at 19:51
Yes, please! Do you need my address again? Becca |
Yup, please. I've sent out so many seed packets I just stopped keeping addresses a couple of years ago.... |
I just checked in to see if the thread that never dies is still here. I have little greenies. It is so exciting! TomnCath deserves a humanitarian award for the work he is doing. He is a sweetie pie, who makes many people dance with joy in the back yard when they have success. I am grateful. |
I got my yellow seeds this week. BIG SMOOCH to Tom! Can't wait to try these. Thanks. |
Hi Girls, enjoy! I just checked in to see if the thread that never dies is still here Oh, this post will die, GW limits posts to 150 responses :-) :-( Tom |
- Posted by nessz79_10a (My Page) on Sat, Jun 23, 12 at 10:42
My red seedlings have been chivying along slowly. I have one in the ground that's about 4 inches high and a couple in a large pot that are slightly smaller. Just planted the yellows this morning. I hope it's not too late in the season to plant them! |
i would love some seeds any.. as WE just start a container garden have 12 swc, can hardly wait for the fall planting. yes learn a hard lesson all ready.. too hot in zone 10 in the summer |

ConocoPhillips' shrink-to-grow strategy is doing more than benefitting the company and its shareholders. It turns out the architect of the programme, Jim Mulva, Conoco's chief executive (pictured), got a 25 per cent increase in total compensation to $17.9m in 2010.
While it is difficult for an outsider to put a dollar amount on Mr Mulva's value, the turnround he has staged since the economic downturn exposed weaknesses in his acquisition spree is worth noting.
In early 2009, the US' third biggest oil and gas company by production and market capitalisation, disclosed a 2008 fourth-quarter net loss of $31.8bn; a $34bn writedown; 1,300 in job losses; and a $2.8bn cut in capital spending.
Many wondered how it would survive, and Mr Mulva was forced to consider a variety of options before settling on this one.
It is not easy for anyone to undertake change, particularly if that change involves selling oil and gas assets at a time when obtaining access to new resources is so difficult. In recent years, the rise in resource nationalism amid the growing competition of the state-owned oil companies has made it difficult for the world's international oil companies to grow production as they have in the past.
But Mr Mulva recognised he had a lot of assets that were not providing value to shareholders. For example, he had bought into Lukoil anticipating it would bring Conoco into new and profitable deals that never materialised. By getting rid of these assets, Mr Mulva can use the proceeds to invest in areas in which Conoco can immediately grow returns. Those include onshore US shale, Canada's oil sands and deepwater.
Shrinking-to-grow is a risk, but it is one Conoco has – so far – played to its advantage. Mr Mulva has until 2012, when he said he would retire, to ensure the strategy has been fully carried out. He has sold $7bn in assets and has said he might sell up to $10bn more. He will not rush. These are sales he wants good value for. And, in a world of maturing oil and gas resources, he will undoubtedly get such value.
That explains the big compensation. What he is paid for this year and next depend on how well the rest of the programme is carried out.

Our County Fair is fast approaching! My son and I love to enter things in the fair, always hoping for a blue ribbon! He sells Justin's Ranger Cookies at our market and he always tells a joke when you buy a cookie. "Why did the cookie go to the doctor" ? "Because he felt crummy". He has won a blue ribbon for his cookies, but the customers love his jokes! He is quite the entrepreneur. He is going to sell fish bait (worms) for the campers who come to our produce market. He already sells them fire wood . He is as excited as I am about the Fair, we talk about it all the time. What jams and pickles should mom bring. What should we bake? But there are times when we can't wait to eat funnel cakes , kettle corn, corn dogs,fried Oreos ,let me stop! I have included a few recipes for you to make at home. You don't have to have a big fancy kettle to make kettle corn . It's fun and easy. Moms Dill pickles are always a treat, the best I have ever had. And a simple funnel cake recipe. Enjoy! See you at the Fair!
Easy Kettle Corn Recipe
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup popcorn kernels
1/3 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
*Special Equipment – A large pot with lid
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add popcorn and sugar giving it a quick stir and then cover with lid. Once popcorn starts popping, pick it up and give it a quick shake every few seconds until popping slows down, between 3-4 minutes. Remove immediately from heat and pour into a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately. Do not make the mistake of removing the pot from heat without transferring to a bowl. Due to the high heat of the pot, if you don't transfer the popcorn it will caramelize and perhaps burn
Keuchels (German Funnel Cake)
Keuchels (KEE-kulls) are wonderful things! They are puffy, round pieces of fried dough which are thick and chewy around the edges and thin and crunchy in the middle. A proper keuchel should be about the size of a luncheon plate and be a lovely, golden brown color. This is an old German recipe, similar to a funnel cake!
Mix well:
1 qt. milk
1 c. sugar
1 stick margarine or butter
Dissolve a yeast cake in ½ c. warm water.
Knead together 8 c. flour and 6 eggs. Add the yeast and the milk mixture. Knead well. Cover and let raise.
Pinch off pieces by the handful and shape into round, flat shapes that are thicker toward the edge and flat toward the middle. Drop into a fryer of hot oil and fry until golden and floating. Drain well and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Eating them warm with jam or fresh fruit on top is a real treat.
Mom's Best Dill Pickles
They are the very best pickles she has ever tasted or made.
Boil together:
3 quarts water
1 quart vinegar
½ cup salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/8 tsp alum
Pack 20 to 24 small cucumbers into glass jars. Add 2 cloves of garlic and a head of dill to each jar. Pour the hot brine to fill the jars. Seal and process.
Tomato Marmalade
This is excellent with any meat. If you mix equal parts of this and hearty mustard it makes a great glaze for roasts.
Peel 3 oranges and 2 lemons. Cut the peelings into very fine slivers. Combine with 2 cups water and simmer for 15 minutes. Drain.
Remove all pulp from the fruit and add it to the peelings. Blanch and peel 5 ½ pounds of tomatoes and slice.
Combine all ingredients in a kettle and mix lightly. Add a spice bag containing 5 cinnamon sticks and 1 tbsp. cloves. Add 6 cups sugar and 1 tsp. salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until thick and clear. Ladle into sterile jars and seal. Process 15 minutes.
Green Tomato Relish
This recipe is a great way to use up green tomatoes when the season is coming to an end.
Clean and cut into manageable pieces 5 pounds of green tomatoes. Pack them into sterile jars and to each jar add 1 clove of garlic, a few slices of onion, 1 whole clove and 3-4 dill heads. Place in a large pan:
1 quart of vinegar
1 quart of water
1/3 cup salt
sugar as desired
Simmer for five minutes then pour into the jars over the tomatoes. Seal and process for 20 minutes. These are really delicious!!!

With this EZ-KIT Lite, users can learn more about ADI's ADSP-TS201S hardware and software development environments and quickly prototype applications. The ADSP-TS201S EZ-KIT Lite provides an evaluation suite of the VisualDSP++ development and debugging environment with the C/C++ compiler, assembler, and linker. Via the USB interface, VisualDSP++ can communicate with the included software debug agent enabling users to perform standard debugging functions (such as read and write memory, read and write registers, load and execute executables, set and clear breakpoints, and single-step assembly, C, and C++ source code) and multiprocessor functions (such as synchronous step, synchronous run, and synchronous halt). The evaluation versions of the included software tools have limited use with the EZ-KIT Lite.
The EZ-KIT Lite's default EPROM boot mode enables the board to be used as a standalone unit without the requirement for a PC-host. If desired, the board can boot from an optional external host port interface connector, link port or "No Boot" based on jumper selections. The EZ-KIT Lite also includes a FLASH utility that can be used to download user specific boot code to the on-board FLASH memory using the USB interface

Affordable Payments Flexible Schedules Negotiable Deposits Discounted Options
The Best Way to Travel & Sightsee in London
St Lucia - Live the Legend Now - The Lay Away Travel Plan Can Make it Happen
Layaway Cruises Are A Great Way To Go
Layaway Vacation Plans Do Work
The Layaway Purchase Plan at Westside International Travel Inc. makes it possible to afford a vacation even in these challenging times by putting a monthly payment in your regular monthly budget.
The way it works is simple; you spread the payments out over time. The size of the payment and the number of payments will depend on how much time exists between the first deposit on your trip and the date the final payment is due to the vendor being used.
The initial deposit for a tour or vacation package is usually $100 - $250 per person. This would be your first payment. For each trip the initial deposit to the vendor being used must be satisfied before we implement the payment plan. Most tour and vacation package vendors require their final payment 45 days prior to the start of travel. If airfare is involved the air cost is, at times, due with the initial deposit. That is the case only if the tour or package provider does not have a special contract for the airfare itinerary being used. If you can, use one of their special contracted air itineraries, then the airfare portion of your package is treated as part of the whole package and no separate payment is required. We can counsel you on which alternative is in your best interest.
We specialize in all inclusive layaway vacations to places like Mexico (Cancun - Riviera Maya - Puerto Vallarta - Cabo San Lucas and Ixtapa), Jamaica, and Dominican Republic. We also have the best Hawaii package programs available.
You will find lots of specials, exclusive pricing and value added benefits included in our ever-changing offers to you. And, one advantage that we can offer you regardless of which form of package you choose is a reduced deposit and a payment plan to help you strecth out your payments. So you will not only enjoy the benefits of the Layaway Travel Program, but the great value of an all inclusive vacation package.
Cruise lines vary in the initial deposit amount due. The deposit will be different based on the length of the cruise, but the range is usually $100 - $450 per person, with only occasionally having it be higher. This year however, we are experiencing changes in the deposit amounts normally charged by the cruise lines, and many cruise lines are reducing their deposit amount by as much as 50%. We will, of course, make sure you are taking advantage of any and all discounts available at the time you make your reservation. Cruise lines always include the air cost in the total purchase, so it is never charged as a separate "up front" cost. This is an advantage to those planning a cruise vacation that requires air travel. Cruise lines require their final payment on a trip 75-90 days prior to he departure date depending on the cruise line.
So, in order to get the most benefit out of a Layaway Purchase Plan you will want to give yourself plenty of lead time. Plan today for the trip you will experience 6-10 months from now.
If your trip price goes down while you are in the payment period you will be able to take advantage of the savings if your trip is a cruise. When it comes to a package or tour the rules vary by vendor, but we will seek to get you satisfaction. If the price of your trip goes up, which happens many times, you are protected from the price increase.
We handle the mathematical formula for you because every trip is unique. We also handle the accounting for each of your payments, providing receipts and letting you know your balance after each payment is made.
We know of no other travel agency making this offer available to the traveling public, but we have allowed our group passengers to make time payments for years and by doing so have made it possible for many people to experience a dream vacation that they originally thought was beyond their budget. We are now making this great planning tool available to our individual vacation travelers. It does work and will work for you. Please, give us a call and we can review your trip plans and develop the payment plan that best suits your budget.
Westside International Travel Inc. has this special service to offer our clients who are loyal American Express cardholders.
