Lithuanian šakotis
|Alternative names
|Region or state
|Lithuania, Poland
|Created by
|Bona Sforza or the Yotvingians
|Cookbook: Sękacz Media: Sękacz
Lithuanian šakotis or raguolis, Polish sękacz ("tree cake"; literally "branchy"[1]) is a Polish-Lithuanian traditional spit cake. It is a cake made of butter, egg whites and yolks, flour, sugar, and cream, cooked on a rotating spit in an oven or over an open fire.
The cake became popular during the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1569–1791). Its origins are attributed to either the Italian Queen Bona Sforza of Poland or the Baltic tribe of Yotvingians. The Yotvingians settled in the early and high Middle Ages in Podlasie, while Bona Sforza is known to have implemented many agriculture, infrastructure and manufacture reforms.[2]
Its name means "branched tree" or "tree with many branches" due to its distinctive shape (it is often conical, like a pine tree, and with the drips as branches). It is baked in a time- and labor-intensive process,[3] by painting layers of dough onto a rotating spit in a special open oven or over an open fire.
It can be decorated with chocolate and flower ornaments, but it is often served plain. Šakotis is one of the most important desserts in Lithuanian celebrations, especially at weddings or other special occasions such as Christmas.[4]
It was the sweet chosen to represent Lithuania in the Café Europe initiative of the Austrian presidency of the European Union, on Europe Day 2006.
In May 2015, in Druskininkai, Lithuania the record of the biggest šakotis was broken with 372 centimetres (12.20 ft) height and 85.8 kilograms (189 lb) weight.[5]

text: Go Go Cafe opened this past summer in Arcadia at 838 S. Baldwin Ave. It has just been profiled in a blog called Discover Los Angeles as one of the best Chinese dumpling restaurants in the Los Angeles area. The reason we probably missed it despite numerous trips up and down Baldwin Ave. is that there is no English language signage indicating the existence of a restaurant at the location. They were closed for cleaning when I went by this morning, so a food report will have to wait.

We are back for a few more rounds of slop til you drop battles. This time, we're traveling forward to the future and beyond! YOU, the fans decide which one will leave the movie Thunderdome Victorious!
To recap the last two rounds:
Selene Vs Alice. It was a close call, but the winner by popular vote is:

Resigning from the Force Patrol, Max left with his wife Jessie and infant son for a life of solitude in the quiet countryside. But the gang, lead by Toecutter, stalked the Rockatanskys.

Allow scientists to
1) preserve plants for 100s of years
2) study specimens throughout the world without traveling
3) study specimens collected during other time periods (e.g., 1700s, 1800s)
4) To allow researchers to extract DNA from old plants, to see how the species has evolved through time.
To grow plants from other areas and research on the plants.
We had to package seeds to send to different botanical gardens around the world. Some times we ran out of seed to send.

Inside the Market's roundup of some of today's key analyst actions. This post will be updated with more analyst commentary during the trading day.
UBS has downgraded and cut price targets on several offshore drilling companies, worried that a "short-term bubble" may be forming as a result of a flood of new rig capacity.
UBS analyst Angie Sedita slapped "hold" ratings on Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc., Ensco Plc, Noble Corp. and Transocean Ltd. They were previously rated "buy." She maintained a "buy" rating on a fifth drilling company she covers, Rowan Cos. Inc.
"Today we are increasingly cautious on the intermediate-term outlook for the floater market, which we believe will translate to modest multiple compression," Ms. Sedita said in a note.
"We believe the long-term demand for the ultra-deepwater market is strong and growing. However, over the near-term a substantial amount of newbuild rig capacity is entering the market and we believe there is risk to the mid-water and deepwater markets both for utilization (idle time between contacts) and potentially some dayrate softness on the lower specification, non-harsh environment rigs," she added.
Targets: UBS price targets of the firms are now as follows: Diamond Offshore $68; Ensco $60; Noble $41; Transocean $49; Rowan $43.
CIBC World Markets analyst Brad Sturges downgraded Partners Real Estate Investment Trust to "sector underperformer" from "sector performer," reflecting above-average risks compared to its peers.
Some of these risks include the REIT's high financial leverage of 66 per cent, versus 49 per cent for its Canadian shopping centre peers, and its external management structure, he said. Mr. Sturges also notes its distribution to unit holders exceeds his 2013 and 2014 estimates for adjusted funds from operations.
Target: Mr. Sturges cut his price target to $6.50 from $7.25. The average target among analysts is $7.35, according to Bloomberg data.
Susquehanna analysts downgraded Target Corp. to "neutral" from "positive" amid concerns about softening sales.
They believe Target sales from the second quarter of 2013 to the fourth quarter of this year will be weaker than expected in the "challenging" retail environment.
"In the event sales fall short, we do believe management will do an effective job of protecting earnings," MarketWatch quoted Susquehanna analysts as saying. "Nevertheless, we believe the current valuation affords little flexibility and think sales shortfalls could have a disproportionate impact on valuation."
Target: Susquehanna has a price target of $73 (U.S.). The average target is $73.54.
If Aureus Mining Inc. is able to secure financing to develop its high-grade New Liberty gold deposit in Liberia, RBC Dominion Securities analyst Jonathan Guy says it should provide a "key short-term catalyst" for shares in the African gold miner.
The financing has been delayed but management has said it expects to finalize the $110-million (U.S.) in project debt in the fourth quarter, he said.
New Liberty is one of the highest grade open pit gold projects in Africa and is poised to produce up to 132,000 ounces of gold a year when the mine enters production in 2015, noted Mr. Guy.
Target: Mr. Guy lowered his price target to $1.30 (Canadian) from $1.75 and rates the company as "outperform." The average price target is 94 cents, according to Bloomberg data .
Despite record breaking rainfall in western and central parts of Alberta, Canyon Services Group Inc. has been keeping busy in the fracturing business, said Raymond James Analyst Andrew Bradford.
"We think Canyon has considerable torque to any uptick in Canadian fracturing demand," said Mr. Bradford. "While we still see risk in the 'conventional oilpatch', we think that the unique focus on Canada makes it a differentiated investment choice."
Target: Mr. Bradford is maintaining his "outperform" rating for the company and his price target of $14 (Canadian), which matches the average Street target.
Although management of IMRIS Inc. remains confident about the long-term outlook for the medical supply company, the near-term volatility has RBC Dominion Securities analyst Douglas Miehm more than a little concerned.
While $6.2-million (U.S.) in new orders recorded in the second quarter of 2013 was is a big improvement over the $1-million (U.S.) in the previous quarter, it was still "disappointing," said Mr. Miehm.
"Considering the likely need for additional capital, we prefer to wait on the sidelines until significant new orders materialize," he said.
The longer-term outlook does look good for the company, said Mr. Miehm, but in the short term the stock is likely to perform in line with peers.
Target: Mr. Miehm cut his price target to $3 (U.S.) from $4. The average target is $4.20 (U.S.)

Santa Barbara City College to Monitor Mesa Dorm Project, Provide Input to city Through Review Process
As the immediate neighbor to the proposed dormitory project by developer St. George & Associates, Santa Barbara City College announced today it will closely monitor all aspects of the project as it progresses through the City's development review process.
"We have worked hard over the past year to collaborate with our Mesa neighbors and the City to address impacts from students residing in the neighborhood," said Santa Barbara City College President Lori Gaskin. "While there are many benefits to locating housing very close to the college campus, there are also potential drawbacks that need to be understood and mitigated. We are absolutely committed to working with our neighbors and the City to help find a viable and sustainable solution," she noted.
The project, which is in the early design stage and has only been discussed in conceptual form to date, would, according to the developer, replace apartment living with a dorm setting, resulting in a dramatic increase in the number of students living in close proximity to the college.
A Mesa neighborhood meeting to discuss the project is set for tonight (Nov. 30, 2015) and representatives from the College will be present to listen to the initial community response. "It is the College's commitment and responsibility to learn as much as possible about the proposal, monitor the City development review process, and hear perspectives from the various stakeholders concerning this project," President Gaskin added.

|Clear Fork River Chapter
|Conserving, protecting and restoring Ohio's coldwater fisheries and their watersheds
�Thanks to everyone who helped with the stockings of Apple Creek on Saturday, October , and Saturday, November , 201X. Over 1,000 rainbow and brown trout were stocked plus litter was picked up along the stream by the more than 40 volunteers at each of the stockings. See member pictures!! The October stocking was followed by two days of fly fishing clinics for novice fly anglers and supported by an angler outreach grant provided by the Ohio Division of Wildlife. These were the 19th and 20th stockings of Apple Creek at Grosjean Park and the 10th year of making this fishery available to the public.
As in the past, we are encouraging anglers to use flies and artificial lures and to practice Catch and Release. IF YOU ENCOUNTER ANGLERS NOT FOLLOWING THESE PRACTICES, it is appropriate for you to let them know that 1) fish are being stocked by the Clear Fork Chapter of Trout Unlimited, 2) there is a limited supply of funds to purchase and stock trout in Apple Creek, and 3) Trout Unlimited wishes to sustain the trout fishery for anglers as long as possible.
If you encounter someone abusing the fishery and deliberately ignoring state fishing regulations, please call 1-800-POACHER and report the infractions. Remember, YOU MUST HAVE A VALID OHIO FISHING LICENSE to fish Apple creek. All it takes is a few fishermen abusing this fishery to spoil it for everyone. Please be willing to stand up and protect the stream and the trout for the sports fisherman. IF YOU OBSERVE ANGLERS VIOLATING OHIO FISHING REGULATIONS, PLEASE CALL THE WILDLIFE OFFICER FOR WAYNE COUNTY, Aaron Brown AT 330-245-3046 AND REPORT INFRACTIONS TO HIM. YOU CAN ALSO CALL 1-800-POACHER.
We hope that everyone continues to enjoy this fishery!!
P.S. Recently anglers have noted makeshift campsites in the park. Please report these to the Parks and Recreation Dept. at 330-263-5215.

Are accelerated nursing programs effective?
(Korvick,, Wisener, 2008)
According to Cangelosi and Whitt, "The first accelerated second-degree program in the United Sates was a one-year program offered by Saint Louis University in 1971." Since that time these programs have been on the rise with 10 programs offered across the United States in 1998 to more than 133 currently.
(Cangelosi, Whitt, 2005)
The demand for accelerated programs has only increased in recent years due in part to high unemployment rates, those looking to make a change in their lives or career path and even September 11th has been cited as a reason for the increase due to others wanting to make a difference in peoples lives.
(Cangelosi, Whitt, 2005)
Abraham Maslow developed a theory of human needs to articulate that "All people want to be the best that they can possibly be. (Alligood, Tomey , 2010, p. 540)"
We can see how this theory comes into play with accelerated learning. When a person becomes motivated to make a change in their life and those around them they are taking the steps to move toward self-actualization… the highest point in Maslow's pyramid.
Modeling- "The art of modeling is the development of a mirror image of the situation from the clients perspective"
Role-Modeling- "Role-Modeling is the essence of nurturance, it requires an unconditional acceptance."
Helen C. Erickson
Evelyn M. Tomlin
Mary Ann P. Swain
While the major concepts of this model focus on nursing as a whole we can apply to those seeking to further their education by simple observance. Students or nurses may see their coworkers modeling a behavior, or mastering the task of an accelerated program, work, and inadvertently become not only a role model but the very inspiration for many to return to school.
(Alligood, Tomey, 2010, p. 541)
Early exposure to clinical experiences and clinical time.
Maturity due to many students having previous careers
Flexibility due to the rapidly changing environment of an accelerated program
Independence and time-management are facilitated through accelerated learning
(Oermann, 2010)
Critical Thinking not enough time to synthesize information
Life financial, emotional, physical, employment, families
(Oermann, 2010)

CBS News recently published a great article highlighting how social media enables the sharing of stories about travel experiences that influence travelers decisions.
"Social media and travel are a perfect fit, because they both are built around this idea of sharing experiences and storytelling," said Mary Madden, a senior researcher at the Pew Internet and American Life Project in Washington, D.C. "Content, whether that's a blog post about your favorite restaurant or the story from your latest trip to Greece and photos of that trip, is a form of social currency that you share with other people who frequent your social media space."
It is clear that the travel industry has no choice but to fully embrace social media. And to monitor and participate in the conversation as users increasingly rely on it to make decisions that could ultimately make or break a hospitality brand.
"...a recommendation from a Facebook connection or your Twitter feed may feel more trustworthy and less random than something you stumble across on a Web site - even when the tweet or Facebook message is from someone you don't know."

Ferrari has officially started shipping its F12tdf to 799 very lucky customers. The car looks typically super car, but under the hood it is not – this is the most powerful naturally-aspirated road car in the world. It might also be adieu, with atmospherically breathing monsters an almost picayune breed among 21st century supercharged and single, twin, and quad turbocharged peers.
'The Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona. At Le Mans. 1971. The quad-cam V12. Hear how they got the engine up? Hear those exhaust notes? That's a very wide rev range… Here, it peaks at 5500 RPM…'
There's that familiar scene between Otto and Memphis in Gone in 60 Seconds, when a communal love for the primal roar of a naturally aspirated Ferrari at full throttle brings crooks together. The V12 365 on audition sounded lovely, however the F12tdf shares its nameplate with the Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Competizione, a 3.0-litre V12 capable of 265km/h that dominated the Tour de France from 1956 to 1962. The Scaglietti-bodied Ferrari 250 GT Competizione became effectively known as the Ferrari 250 GT 'Tour de France'.
Ferrari's 2016 F12tdf more than doubles the capacity of the original 'tdf', featuring a 6.3-litre V12 producing 574kW of power at a staggering 8,900rpm and 705Nm of torque at 6,750rpm – 30kW and 124Nm more than the standard F12 Berlinetta. Gear changes will be truly rapid with a revised, more efficient seven-speed dual-clutch automatic featuring even shorter gear ratios. With a weight of 1415kg, you can expect bone-jellifying acceleration with 0-100km/h in 2.9sec and a top speed of 340km/h.
While the F12tdf is built on a long wheelbase, the Ferrari features 'Virtual Short Wheelbase', a system of rear-wheel steering and wider front tyres that allows quicker steering input corrections and improved handling dynamics.
Ferrari F12tdf is available this year in Australia from $808,888 plus on-road costs.

I feel lost within it. The mediocrity of my life. An honest statement, some might find it slightly repellent to read another persons rant about life but I need to vent.
You've been warned.
I'm pretty sure everyone goes through a stage where they look around themselves and just desire more. In fact most people are probably perpetually stuck in such a stage, it's just right now I have nothing to distract me from that desire.
I'm in purgatory, I'm stuck between adolescence and adulthood. I finished school like most people do, gladly. But now the pressure to do something with my life towers over me. I'm supposed to know what I want, I'm supposed to have some sort of life plan. It's been about a year since I finished school, a little less maybe despite the fact that school feels like a lifetime ago. I'm not some misguided teenager who thinks he's all grown up now, if anything I wish people would treat me like I was younger again. Because it would dissipate the cloud of expectations that are suspended over me.
Everyone around me is moving, but I'm motionless. It's not that I want to be cemented here, it's just I have nothing to drive me forward. Or maybe I do, I just need to figure out where 'forward' is.
I hope I'm not alone in my struggle. Then again I've always been a loner, but in the most unpoetical sense. I don't have the luxury of being the dark, mysterious and slightly dangerous loner. I am the loner who hides behind a facade of normality, secretly mediocre in my loner-ness.
It's not that I'm socially disabled, I'm not extremely under confident or physically repulsive. I mean my mum says I'm handsome that's gotta count for something right? I just don't feel like anyone can see me. I feel like every conversation I've ever had with anyone has always just been small talk.
I feel like when I was being dealt my hand there was nothing interesting left to be dealt. There is no drama in my life, no danger, no conflict, no purpose.
Ghandi said whatever we do in life will be insignificant but it's very important that we do it.
I like that quote, heard it in a film the other day. I feel like I am blind to the latter half of the quote though, I can't see the importance in my insignificant actions.
Every purpose I can conjure is contingent upon circumstances that aren't part of my existence.
I consider myself a deep person, but maybe considering myself such a thing makes me shallow. I try to search for meaning within my depth but I just find emptiness.
I wonder if anyone else feels a pessimistic as me right now.
I guess this mood will pass. After all, it can't get worse.

A 44-year-old Dutch sergeant became the 21st soldier to die in Afghanistan when his vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb.The Hague – A Dutch soldier with the NATO forces in Afghanistan died on Monday when his army vehicle drove over an improvised explosive device in the province of Uruzgan, the defence ministry said.
Sergeant-Major Mark Leijsen, 44, became the 21st member of the 1,800-strong Dutch contingent in Afghanistan to die since 2006.
Three other Dutch troops and an Afghan interpreter who were with Leijsen in the vehicle were injured in the explosion, said a ministry statement. They are all in a stable condition.
The Netherlands began committing troops to the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in August 2006. About 1,800 Dutch soldiers are deployed in Afghanistan, mostly in the southern Uruzgan province, as part of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).
On Sunday, another Dutch soldier died on Sunday after being wounded in a firefight with suspected Taliban insurgents.
Corporal Kevin van de Rijdt, 26, died in the firefight that took place at Deh Rahwood in the southern Oruzgan province, ministry spokeswoman Marloes Visser told AFP.
The Netherlands began committing troops to the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in August 2006. Of the 1,800 Dutch troops 1,600 are stationed in Oruzgan.

The Phoenix Coyotes have already started a daunting five-game road trip in impressive fashion.
They tend to be impressive against the Toronto Maple Leafs no matter where they play.
The surging Coyotes look to equal their longest road winning streak of last season by beating the Maple Leafs for a sixth straight time Tuesday night.
Phoenix (8-4-3) is 6-1-2 since dropping four of its first six games of the season. The Coyotes have also won four straight on the road - where they won five in a row Jan. 6-26 - including a 3-0 victory at San Jose on Saturday to open this trip.
They now head East for four games, including a meeting with Philadelphia and their former goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov on Thursday before visiting Buffalo and Washington.
First, they'll contend with surprising Toronto (10-6-1) for the only time this season.
"It's a tough one," captain Shane Doan told the Coyotes' official website, "... but it's fun, too. It's a great challenge and you get an opportunity to play against teams you don't normally get to see and compare yourself to the teams that are playing well."
Phoenix has outscored the Maple Leafs 26-11 during its five-game winning streak in the series, including a 5-1 home victory in last season's only meeting.
Radin Vrbata has three goals and two assists in Phoenix's last three games against the Leafs, including a goal in last season's matchup.
The right wing is tied with Ray Whitney for the team lead with six goals and his 13 points rank second on the Coyotes. Vrbata has three goals in his last two road games including one Saturday.
The Maple Leafs have dropped three of four with all of the losses coming at Air Canada Centre. They've been outscored 17-3 in those defeats, including a 5-2 defeat to Ottawa on Saturday, when the Toronto fans booed their team in the third period.
Linemates Tyler Bozak and Joffrey Lupul scored for Toronto, which held a 33-24 shot advantage with 16 coming in the third period.
Bozak and Lupul's line also includes Phil Kessel, the NHL's top scorer with 12 goals and 24 points. The trio has four of Toronto's six goals over the last three games.
Kessel has nine goals and seven assists at home.
The Maple Leafs are hoping to get center Tim Connolly back soon. He's missed three games with an upper-body injury after sitting out eight games last month.
"I've seemed to really turn a corner here and it's only a matter of days before I'm back ready to go," Connolly told the team's official website. "I wasn't at 100 percent out there (in practice Monday) but felt pretty good so we will see how I feel (Tuesday)."

The 138th-ranked Pacific islanders were cheered from start to finish in the mismatch by a crowd of almost 72,000 at Rio's Maracana, as four goals from Fernando Torres and three from David Villa helped Spain rack up the biggest victory margin in the competition's nine-year history.
"I'm still in the stars," Tahiti goalkeeper Mikael Roche, a 30-year-old qualified sports teacher, said. "The Brazilian crowd has been such a wonderful crowd, they've been cheering for us although we're just small players, a small team. I'll never forget what they did for us."
A Tahiti squad containing only one professional player had booked their spot at the eight-nation tournament, a warm-up event for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, by winning last year's Oceania Football Confederation Nations Cup.
Spain, which successfully defended their European Championship title last year, responded to coach Vicente del Bosque's pre-match request to show respect to Tahiti by not letting up even after taking a 4-0 halftime lead.
"We focused like we were playing a final," said striker Torres, who also missed a second-half penalty. "Spain have shown respect from the first minute to the last minute and that's important."
The result lifts Spain top of Group B with six points from two matches, although they're not yet guaranteed a semi-final slot. Uruguay beat Nigeria 2-1 last night to join the African team on three points ahead of the final round of games in two days.
Host nation Brazil and Italy have already secured a berth in the final four and meet tomorrow to decide the Group A winner.

- Meiji Amino Collagen is very affordable.

|Weight Loss Information |
Questioning Cardio for Weight Loss?
Q: I've heard you mention that you don't need tons of cardio to burn stubborn abdominal fat. Okay, I can live with that, but you've also said that it isn't absolutely necessary to perform direct ab work either. What gives?
A: If you want to build a serious set of abdominals, routinely perform the following exercises and their variations: squats, deadlifts, chin-ups, and standing military presses. These multi-joint movements require a strong contribution from the abdominals to stabilize the core, particularly when heavy loads are used. It is not uncommon to hear clients complain of abdominal soreness a day or two after performing multiple sets with a decent weight of the chin-up or standing military press exercise - the ab prestretch will tap into fibers you never thought existed! And remember, your abdominals act as a natural girdle, or weight belt if you will, when performing all exercises, particularly squats and deadlifts. These muscles act as a bridge between your upper and lower body and are heavily recruited as stabilizers.
Sure, isolation exercises like pullovers, curls, and even triceps pressdowns also require a good degree of core stability; however, the loads used are relatively low compared to the big 4 mentioned above. In fact, according to Siff & Verkhoshansky, isolation becomes virtually impossible if large loads are used, and in many cases, the tension developed in the stabilizers will equal or even exceed that of the prime movers!* So, you see, the abdominals can be trained quite effectively as stabilizers - the physiques of top Olympic weightlifters will attest to that.
*Siff, MC, Verkhoshansky, YV. "Supertraining (4th Edition)." Denver, CO: Supertraining International, 1999. (pg. 241)
Q: I am still very much confused regarding cardio intensity. One book says keep it low intensity (i.e. 60% of MHR) and go for distance; another keep it high intensity (80% or more) and go for as long and hard as you can. The goal is to burn fat. Each book has great arguments for their approach. Which is accurate?
A: The second approach is far more effective for burning fat. Without getting into a huge discussion about this, here's how things work in a nutshell.
At a lower intensity, your body prefers fat for fuel. Yes, this is true, but two things generally happen:
1. After awhile of doing this type of activity, your body adapts by actually laying down fat (you heard me right) to become more efficient at the given task and this usually occurs in the lower body, and
2. A higher relative amount of fat is burned during low intensity cardio but a greater absolute amount is burned with higher intensity cardio and in less time.
Other things to consider are: a) the EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption) is greater for a longer duration following higher intensity work; in other words, you're metabolism is much higher for a longer period of time post-workout with high intensity cardio, and b) higher lactate levels exist with high intensity cardio. So what you may ask? Well there is a direct correlation with lactate and GH (Growth Hormone) and GH is a potent fat-burner.
Bottom line: with regards to burning fat, do higher intensity work in the form of interval training and you'll get great results.

Irish Open to go North to Royal Portrush
ROYAL Portrush was tipped today to host this year's Irish Open Championship.
The European Tour has called a press conference at the clubhouse tomorrow.
The tournament takes place from 28 June to 1 July.
Portrush previously staged the Open Championship in 1951 and it has also been host to the Seniors Open on a number of occasions. Both Graeme McDowell and Darren Clarke are affiliated with the club.
It is seen as the perfect year to shift the Open north of the border with Graeme McDowell, Rory McIIroy and Darren Clarke all winning majors recently.
The course will celebrate its 125th anniversary in 2013.

Fuisse (nearside): Prix du Moulin winner is a flagbearer for sire Green TunePICTURE: Scoop Dyga
French stalwart sire Green Tune put down
THE French stallion ranks have lost one of their leading lights with the death on Saturday of Green Tune.
On the day he officially turned 20 years old, the son of Green Dancer had to be put down after fracturing his right hind leg at the Haras d'Etreham in Normandy, where he had stood since retiring to stud in 1996.
The timing of Green Tune's death is unfortunate, as he had enjoyed one of his best seasons as a stallion in 2010. His progeny earnings in Europe were second only to Workforce's sire King's Best among France's active sires, with 43 winners collecting £1,479,156 in prize-money.
His flagbearers last year were Prix du Moulin winner Fuisse, who begins his stud career at the Haras du Quesnay this spring, Group 3-winning and Group 1-placed fillies Pontenuovo and Zagora, and Listed Doonside Cup scorer Vesuve.
They join luminaries such as Premio Lydia Tesio winner Lune D'Or, who was sold in foal to Galileo last month for €750,000 at Arqana, and Prix d'Harcourt scorer Delfos, who stands at the Dehesa de Milagro in Spain, on Green Tune's stud record.
Green Tune also features as broodmare sire of eight stakes winners, highlighted by Gimcrack Stakes winner Tony James and also including last year's Eyrefield Stakes winner Tiz The Shot and Fairway Stakes scorer Green Moon.
Green Tune could have sired more winners, but he suffered from arteritis for three years, during which he covered mares, but only those also carrying the virus.
Green Tune was bred and owned by the Wertheimer family, and trained by Criquette Head-Maarek to win five of his 13 starts, including the Poule d'Essai des Poulains and Prix d'Ispahan. His half-sister Pas De Reponse laterlanded the Cheveley Park Stakes for the same connections.

Hell-hole [Rickshaw Run day 4]
Kavali Travel Blog› entry 40 of 48 › view all entries
Woke up with a stinking hangover at about 6.30am. Vicks went out and got us some chai and water, which helped immensely. There was the daily power cut (it happens every day from 6am-9am!) which meant the room was stuffy...not what you need with a pounding headache! We went downstairs and got some breakfast. The others wanted to have a relaxing day and go to Chennai and catch an IPL cricket match, so Vicks and I left them to it and headed off.
We hit the Chennai road and were into the city around lunchtime. We were a bit hesitant about driving through a city of 6 million people, but I took control and just went for it! Yeehah!! Another adrenalin rush and we whizzed through in about an hour, going the wrong way down one-way streets and all sorts!! We emerged on the beach road and finally found the main Chennai-Kolkata NH5 and headed towards Nellore.
It was a pretty straightforward afternoon's driving and we pulled off for Nellore at about 5.30pm. We saw some other teams coming out of the town and they said there was no accomodation anywhere beacause of a wedding or something taking place- great! It was getting dark by now and we had no option but to carry on 60km further to the next town, Kavali. This is where our problems started....we shuddered to a halt after about 20km and knowing it wasn't petrol as we'd filled up, we guessed it was the spark plug problem again. We kept taping and adjusting it, but it would last about 2 km and we'd have to stop again....so annoying! Pretty scary to as we were driving in the dark on a main highway for the first time with all the lorries chundering past us. Stopping was a little frightening as there's no hard shoulder as such and we were just in the dirt off the tarmac, hoping nothing would hit us! We eventually got into Kavali at about 8.
So with that we got up, packed and hit the road again.

Don't just see the world, help build a better world! Habitat's Faith Build is your chance to put your faith into action and volunteer time and skills to help build a family's new home in Fiji. Working alongside other church groups, you'll be amazed at what can be achieved in just one week when we come together and combine our efforts. As well as forming new friendships and lasting memories, you'll give one family the gift of a new home and a brighter future.
After the build is complete, why not rest and recover with a stay at one of Fiji's many resorts? Treat yourself to some snorkelling, diving and fishing, or just relax by the beach. There is so much to see and do in Fiji – a Global Village build is just the start!
Heavy flooding and cyclones over the past few years have had a considerable impact on Fiji. This project in Nadi will assist families living in informal settlements who have been displaced by natural disasters, by constructing cyclone-proof transitional shelters. Made from timber frames and corrugated iron, these houses will be strong enough to withstand future storms and provide adequate shelter. They are built in flood-safe locations, or raised off the ground to protect from high waters.
Since Habitat for Humanity began working in Fiji in 1981, over 1,000 families on the island have been served. Habitat for Humanity Fiji not only builds much-needed homes, but also helps in disaster response and prevention, provides water and sanitation facilities to help improve health, and works on projects to enable people with disabilities.
The number of people in Fiji living in substandard housing is on the rise, and already stands at 140,000. Over the next 15 years, there is an expected need of more than 30,000 new homes. Poverty continues to be a problem in Fiji. While official statistics estimate that 31% of people live in poverty, the local social services council are under the impression that 60% would be a more accurate statistic.
As housing prices are too high for many, families have no choice but to live in accommodation without running water, sanitation facilities, rubbish disposal facilities or electricity. Habitat for Humanity Fiji allows families to take out loans that are minor and do not create a burden of debt upon the family, but allow them to obtain a home that they would alternatively have no method of acquiring. Families play a part in building their new homes for themselves to drive down costs, and their loan repayments are then used to build homes for other families in need.
Meet your team in Nadi and get to know each other over a welcome dinner
Discover the local sights with your team
Meet your partner family and the Habitat build staff who will complete your safety orientation for the first day of building
Full days of building with your teammates
Final day of building, hand over ceremony and dedication of the new home to our partner family
Depart for home or further adventures – many of our volunteers combine a build with travel to other overseas destinations
All donations over $2 are tax deductible and will support Habitat for Humanity projects in Fiji.
$140 Registration Fee for those under 18yrs or who have a current police check.

6 Best Bundesliga Bargain Transfers This SeasonMarch 17, 2014
6 Best Bundesliga Bargain Transfers This Season
More than ever before, teams and managers are judged and evaluated by their player transfers. The pressure is bigger than ever before, and so are the checkbooks. Any team's success or failure is ultimately intertwined with either the right or the wrong transfers.
For years now, Bundesliga clubs have prided themselves on acting a bit more responsibly than their other top European league counterparts as far as spending is concerned. With strict financial regulations and a culture of youth development in place, the purse strings are tightened and the focus is on scouting.
Every year, players come out of nowhere to make a name for themselves and elevate their clubs along the way. This season is no different. With the season coming to an end, let us take a look at some of the best bargain transfers—namely players whose performances have far outdone their initial transfer prices.
6. Admir Mehmedi (SC Freiburg, €300K)
Let's start with Admir Mehmedi.
The 23-year-old Swiss striker is currently on loan from Ukranian club Dynamo Kyiv, but Freiburg have built in an option to make the deal permanent at the end of the season. And going by Mehmedi's performances in the league this year, they will no doubt utilize it.
In a very difficult season that sees Freiburg mired in the relegation battle, Mehmedi has been the only consistent source of goals. He has been directly involved in 11 of the team's goals and the star man in many of their games.
Freiburg were always going to struggle after losing their four most important players last summer, but Mehmedi has eased that transition as well as anyone could have given Freiburg's small budget. He can hold up the ball as well as play part in the build-up, and he works very hard off the ball. A truly quality transfer.
5. Johannes Geis (1. FSV Mainz 05, €900K)
Johannes Geis will appear on many "best of" lists this season, and rightfully so. The 20-year-old midfielder came to Mainz for a little under a million and has already become one of the best in his role in the entire league.
Geis has been a fixture in what has been the surprise package in Germany this year. Thomas Tuchel's Mainz are currently just three points off a Champions League spot with one of the smallest budgets in the league.
Geis is another product of Germany's assembly line of technically gifted, hard-running and intelligent central midfielders. He is a fantastic passer of the ball, times his challenges well and has shown maturity beyond his years. It will be no surprise if his value quadruples by the end of the season.
4. Halil Altintop (FC Augsburg, Free Transfer)
Halil Altintop is no stranger to the Bundesliga. He was born and raised in Germany and played there for most of his life before a brief venture to Turkey. Now back in Germany, he has been a key part in Augsburg's fantastic season.
The biggest surprise has been how easily the 31-year-old attacker has slotted into Markus Weinzierl's team. Rather than playing him up top, Weinzierl has played him behind the striker with the freedom to roam, and he has excelled mightily. Altintop has already scored nine goals and assisted two others this season and is playing the best football since his days at Schalke.
Augsburg have the second smallest budget in the league, so the fact that they are in contention for a European spot this season is a credit not only to Weinzierl but also the club's great transfer policy.
3. Max Kruse (Borussia Monchengladbach, €2.5M)
It is deja vu all over again with Max Kruse.
Two years ago, Kruse made the jump into the first division and took the league by storm. He was one of the best players in the league last year after coming to Freiburg for just €500,000.
Those performances made the €2.5 million Gladbach paid this past summer look dirt cheap. Sure enough, Kruse has continued the fine form he showed with Freiburg last year and has again been one of the league's best performers. He was arguably the league's best player in the first three months and even earned himself a spot on the national team.
Kruse has been directly involved in 16 of Gladbach's goals this season, and his partnership with Brazilian attacker Raffael is arguably the best in the league. Kruse could also be one of the surprise picks for Joachim Low's World Cup squad this summer if he keeps his form up. Not bad for a player coming from the second division just two years ago.
2. Shinji Okazaki (1. FSV Mainz 05, €1.5M)
It took Shinji Okazaki 63 games to score 10 goals for Stuttgart. With Mainz, he has already scored 11 in 24. The Japanese attacker showed plenty of potential at Stuttgart, but uncertainty within the club and deployment in different positions did not help his cause.
At Mainz, Thomas Tuchel has used Okazaki mainly up front, where he has thrived. His speed and technique are perfectly suited to Mainz's quick transition game. At the weekend, Okazaki netted his fourth brace for the club this season to move within reaching distance of a Champions League spot.
Okazaki has been worth every penny and then some.
When needed, Tuchel has also played him on the left and right and he has excelled there also. Simply put, Okazaki is a perfect fit for the club and another inspirational transfer from a manager whose reputation will reach its boiling point after this season.
1. Hakan Calhanoglu (Hamburger SV, Return from Loan)
It would be a disservice to the player to make this or any evaluation of his performances about his incredible long-range free kick goal against Borussia Dortmund earlier this season. Instead, the focus should on what a big part of Hamburg's campaign he has been so far, and in his first Bundesliga season to boot.
Calhanoglu was actually bought from Karlsruher SC by Hamburg back in 2012 for €2.5 million, but he was sent back on loan to his old club for the entire season to gain experience. He ended up scoring 17 goals for Karlsruhe that season, finishing as the fourth-highest goalscorer and helping the club achieve promotion to the second division.
His arrival at Hamburg was almost like a new transfer, then, and could not have been timed better. With the club struggling to avoid the drop for the first time in club history, team captain Rafael van der Vaart struggling with form and injury and the departure of their coach, Calahnoglu stepped in and has been a great source of energy and creativity as Hamburg look to steer the ship in the right direction.
Some have already named Calahnoglu "the next Mesut Ozil" due to his elegant dribbling with the ball, and his free kick technique has mesmerized the entire country. Hambrug recently extended his contract until 2018, but at this rate it is highly unlikely that he will remain at the club until then.

Spence family tragedy was wake-up call on farm safety, says Ulster Rugby hero farmer Simon Best
A former Ulster Rugby star has told how the tragic death of Nevin Spence made him more conscious of farm safety.
Three members of the Spence family were killed in a slurry tank accident at their farm near Hillsborough in September 2012.
Simon Best, a former Ulster and Ireland captain, recalled the moment he heard about the tragedy.
"We found out at around half seven at night. It was a day when Rory had the day off and we were both working together. We just stopped everything when we heard," he said.
Best was speaking at an Ulster Farmers' Union meeting in Newtownards.
Describing how the tragedy made him change how he thought about farm safety, he also recalled how he suffered a near-miss in a farm accident as a teenager that left his finger disfigured.
Best, who retired for health reasons in 2008, said he now regularly discussed safety guidelines with staff.
"Any of the changes I've made, they actually don't cost a lot," he added. "It's very simple some of the things - risk assessments, keeping spreadsheets.
"I have three guys working for me and I make sure that they're aware and I'll talk it through with them."
Best also told the group about the near-miss he had on the farm as a 15-year-old.
"There are always things that you don't think of as near-misses until you look back on them. I actually lost the top of my finger when I was 15 and working on a baler," he said.
"It actually taught me a very, very valuable lesson, and lucky enough they were able to sew it back on - not very straight, mind!
"I was oiling the chain on a straw baler, I was just letting it run and I cleaned a bit of straw away and, just like that, the chain caught it - I didn't even think I was anywhere near the chain.
"The chain caught me, took my hand around the cog and it hit the guard and pulled the top of the finger out. The guy who worked with us was driving the combine.
"There were only the two of us around - I think he was more traumatised than me, but it taught me a valuable lesson."
Best's rugby talents were spotted when he was studying agriculture at Newcastle University.
He joined Ulster in 1999, making 118 appearances, and made his international debut in 2003.
He captained Ulster in 2005 and went on to captain Ireland during their 2007 tour of Argentina. The 38-year-old retired eight years ago after worries over his irregular heartbeat. Today Best farms more than 1,000 acres of mixed cereal crops and 60 pedigree Aberdeen Angus cattle with his father and fellow rugby hero brother Rory.
He said that growing up on a farm had given him a work ethic that helped his rugby career.
"I grew up around the marts, Poyntzpass and Markethill. When I grew up all I wanted to do was go back to the farm," he added.
"But my dad wasn't ready to retire or to have someone come with new ideas and want to change things, so my rugby career gave me a chance to go out and see the rest of the world."
Nine people died on farms in 2014/15 - five more than the year before.
Ed Patterson of NFU Mutual's risk management division said farmers often tell him the reason they have not had any major incidents is because they are "lucky".
He added: "But when you start to ask questions the luck soon disappears and I see what it is - they're the farmers who consistently keep good practices such as looking after machinery and having good handling facilities; they keep control of the situation and invest in keeping themselves safer."
Last week, a man died on a farm in Dromore, Co Tyrone, when he was crushed by a digger he had been working under.
