Tomato Giants
By Kira Hamman
Check out this picture my brother sent me of a tomato he grew in his garden in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Wow, right?
How do you grow whopping tomatoes like this?
To be honest, I don't usually even try, because I don't have the patience. I'd rather eat a delicious normal-sized tomato, or ten, than wait for a whopper that I can brag to my friends about. Still, there's something compelling about tomatoes the size of small dogs. They're so county fair, so… summer.
If you want to try it, the first thing is to choose the right variety. Certain types of tomatoes are bred to be huge, and those would be the ones to grow if you're going for size. Most of the varieties that get really big have names that indicate as much, like 'Big Beef,' 'Giant Belgium,' and 'Dinner Plate.'
After you've chosen an appropriate variety, the requirements are pretty much the same as for regular tomatoes, but more. Water more. Fertilize more. Stake more. Start earlier than usual, give the plants more space than usual, prune more carefully than usual. And so on.
Of course, my brother claims that he grew this tomato from a volunteer plant of unknown parentage with a program of benign neglect. So.
The current world record holder for growing the largest tomato, Gordon Graham, grew a 7 pound, 12 ounce tomato in Oklahoma in 1986. Think you can beat him? Go ahead and try.
And be sure to send us your photos!

We're with you Kira… we'd rather have a dozen "normal" tomatoes rather than nurse along the promise of that one beast of a tomato. Have to admit though… the bragging rights are tempting…

Whoa, Kira, that's one scary tomato! I'm surprised it didn't drag the whole plant to the ground. I think that veggie gardeners tend to divide into two categories, those who're just grateful to get any edible veggies from our plants (that would be me), and those who strive for the prize-winning monsters. If I had a huge truck garden and plenty of room to try it (not to mention tons of other veggies that were actually edible), I can't say I wouldn't go for a monster pumpkin or what have you, too. Well, okay, I wouldn't. Collector that I am, I'd probably succumb to the temptation to try to grow every heirloom known to man instead. We all have our weaknesses!

Wow, that is a monster. I am a quantity girl. Huge is not very important, but still it might be fun.

WPP continues to bulk up Possible Worldwide by rolling more of its agencies into the global digital-agency network, which it began building last year.
In the latest move, the holding company has folded another past acquisition, Zaaz, into Possible.
Zaaz CEO-partner Shane Atchison will become CEO of Possible, while acting CEO Trevor Kaufman will take the role of chairman. Mr. Atchison will manage Possible's day-to-day out of Seattle, while Mr. Kaufman will move into a more strategic role, which will include scouting more purchases.
WPP formed Possible last year by rolling up a number of its small to midsize shops, including Schematic and Bridge Worldwide. The goal is to create a scaled network that can compete with rival global digital agencies like Publicis Groupe 's Razorfish or Digitas, or AKQA.
WPP acquired Zaaz five years ago to align with the direct and digital agency Wunderman. Incorporating Zaaz into Possible adds more than 200 people, as well as search and digital analytics capabilities to the umbrella agency. Unlike some of its predecessors, Seattle-based Zaaz gets to retain its name.
"Zaaz will stand for performance marketing and search within Possible," Mr. Atchison said. It will continue to work with Wunderman and WPP media-buying unit Group M.
Possible plans to grow by acquiring, too. In June, the network acquired Brazilian digital shop Gringo.
Zaaz's revenue in 2010 was up 28% from 2009, to $32 million, according to Ad Age DataCenter estimates. New clients include Audi, InterContinental Hotels and Godiva. Possible Worldwide had revenue of $100 million last year, with wins at Disney, AMC, Sony and Starz.
With Zaaz, Possible now counts 23 offices and 1,200 staff worldwide.

Queer transgender activist leads workshop on environmental justice at Hendricks Chapel
Kiran Ramsey | Digital Design
Global capitalism is the single greatest threat to basic human rights, said Evan Greer, a queer transgender activist.
Greer on Wednesday led a workshop titled "Queer Liberation and Environmental Justice." Greer is a touring songwriter and the campaign director of Fight for the Future, a digital rights nonprofit. About 20 students gathered in the Noble Room at Hendricks Chapel on Wednesday evening for the workshop, which was organized by Syracuse University's LGBT Resource Center.
Greer discussed the history of the environmental justice movement and how it personally affected her as a relief worker in New Orleans and a street medic in Scotland.
"We tend to think of environmental issues as lofty, but when you start looking at this family that was torn apart or a child who lost their parents by environmental disasters, it makes it a lot more real," Greer said.
Later, Greer identified what she said are three essential steps an individual should take to start a successful campaign. First, highlight the root causes of the problem; second, identify the causes behind the problem; and third, connect the dots and start a movement.
She used the examples of queer opposition and environmental justice to do a group brainstorming session, which resulted in blurring the lines between the two topics.
Students had positive reactions to the exercise, with many saying that the brainstorming allowed them to connect concepts that seemed initially unrelated.
"I felt this was a really enlightening experience with information that a lot of people should know," said Wren Wilson, a freshman at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry. "If you get the opportunity to educate yourself on things like this, you should take that advantage."
Greer said she always felt drawn to social activism, even as a child.
"Over time, I've come to learn about so many experiences that are outside my own and that, in many ways, I am privileged despite being transgender and outside the box," Greer said. "I guess I can't sleep at night if I don't feel that I'm a part of something that's trying to change that."
Jes Norman, an assistant in SU's LGBT Resource Center, said the event was successful and that participants got a lot out of it, especially because, she said, social justice is a continuous learning process.
Greer said she believes that despite environmental problems and queer community oppression, society is moving in a positive direction.
"It's amazing to see the movements that are springing up now and how quickly they grow," Greer said. "I think the Black Lives Matter movement is absolutely revolutionary because it's empowering so many different people to become leaders."
The workshop ended with Greer singing songs from her albums about the environment and being a part of the transgender and queer communities.
"The world as we know it is not gonna last forever," Greer sang. "And these could be the last days so let's spend them together, and let's never surrender."

This study showed that a monohybrid ratio for downward versus upward hairs on the internodes and the gene was symbolized as H. A similar type of ratio was found for medium-broad and narrow-pod width and the factor for this character was named as W. The same authors found monohybrid (3:1) and dihybrid (15:1) ratios for erect and drooping pods; the genes involved here were designated as E1 and E2. They also observed (1935 b and 1936) different seed coat colours in Dolichos lablab, viz., black, chocolate, khaki and buff and found monohybrid and dihybrid ratios in crosses between varieties with different seed coat colours.
While this study shows that the directions of hairs and pod width are each caused by a single factor; the position of pod was found to be due to duplicate genes. The study of the joint segregation reported here shows that the factors for hair direction (H), pod width (W), pod position (E1, E2) and seed colour (C) were independent and showed no linkage. Pod width and seed shape and also pod position and pod surface did not show any recombination which may be due to pleotropic action of a single gene or very close linkage of the factor controlling these characters. However, the populations of just 752 F2 plants studied here do not appear to be large enough to allow a clear choice between these alternative explanations.
From the inheritance studies reported here, it is found that the characters of type-21 are dominant over those of type–3. The genetic constitution of the two types, therefore, may be represented as HH WW E1E1 E2 E2 CC for type 21 and hh ww e1 e1 e2 cc for type –3 respectively.
Inheritance of a number of characters in this species was studied. Now two varieties, D.L. 259 and CO.12 were crossed in 1960. D.L.259 had green and flat pods and seeds were chocolate colour. Whereas in CO.12, these characters were light- green bloated and brown. F1 hybrids were sown in 1961. F2 populations consisting of 397 individuals were studied in 1962 and the performance of 36 families in the F3 generation was recorded in 1963.
In respect of pod colour, pod shape and seed colour a 3:1 ratio was obtained. This explained the fact that in each segregation a single gene was involved. Green pod colour was dominant over light green, flat pod shape over bloated and chocolate seed colour over brown. Three different and independent genes were, therefore, responsible for these three characters. Pigmentation in the vegetative plant parts was found to be dominant over light– green.
Ayyangar and Nambiar (1935, 1941) reported on the genetic behavior of pod and seed colour and isolated eight pigmented types in Dolichos lablab L. Later, Patil and Chavan (1961) also studied the inheritance of a number of characters in that species. Now two varieties, D.L. 259 and CO.12 were crossed in 1960. D.L.259 had green and flat pods and seeds were chocolate colour. Whereas in CO.12, these characters were light- green bloated and brown. F1 hybrids were sown in 1961. F2 populations consisting of 397 individuals were studied in 1962 and the performance of 36 families in the F3 generation was recorded in 1963.
In respect of pod colour, pod shape and seed colour a 3:1 ratio was obtained. This explained the fact that in each segregation a single gene was involved. Green pod colour was dominant over light green, flat pod shape over bloated and chocolate seed colour over brown. Three different and independent genes were, therefore, responsible for these three characters.
Pigmentation in the vegetative plant parts was found to be dominant over light– green. Whereas, Ayyangar and Nambiar (1935) reported the involvement of four genetic factors. However, the gene involved in this segregation has been symbolized as Grp. The single gene responsible for pod shape has been designated as Fp. and for seed colour gene symbol suggested was Csc.
Hybridization was done between a local strain of Dolichos lablab (L.) var. lignosus Prain and a local strain of D. lablab var. typicus Prain. The former has no anthocyanin pigment in any part of the plant body, whereas the latter has pigmentation in different parts including node, internode and pod. The F1, F2 and F3 generations of this cross were grown and plants were scored for pigmented and non-pigmented character.
The presence of pigment in the node, internode and pod of F1 and a 27: 37 ratio of pigmented to non-pigmented scored in F2 for all the three characters reveals that pigmentation in each of the plant parts–node, internode and pod–is governed by three complementary genes (A, B and C). This is confirmed by the breeding behaviour of 60 F3 families. The joint segregation of character pairs revealed no recombinants whatsoever, i.e., there was no segregants with pigmentation in any one or two of these three plant parts without pigmentation in the remaining part (s), thus leading to conclusion that the same set of genes (A, B and C) is governing anthocyanin pigmentation in all the three plant parts.
Though the joint segregations of the character pairs revealed no recombinant types, it cannot be ruled out that the pleiotropic action of the genes A, B and C might be only an apparent one resulting due to the close linkage among different genes governing each of the three characters.
The present study was undertaken with four F1S involving four varieties viz., No. 682, Surti No. 3, Chapatwal and New Dharwar. The crosses were No. 682 x Surti No. 3, No. 682 x Chapatwal, New Dharwar x Chapatwal and Surti No. 3 x New Dharwar.
The F1 and F2 populations of the above crosses were raised at Punjabrao Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola during Kharif 1977. The spacing of 90 x 60 cm was maintained. The observations on stem colour, calyx colour and pod shape of parents and F1S were recorded. In F2 the segregation of three characters was recorded in all the four crosses. The X2 test was used to test the goodness of fit of the observed frequencies of the characters.
The mode of inheritance of stem colour in ail the four crosses was found to be digenic. In a cross between No. 682 x Surti No. 3, both the parents were white and F1 had the light green colour indicating that the genes present in both the parents compliment to each other and produced the light green colour. The F2 segregation was 9 light green : 7 white.
In other three crosses the F2 segregation showed 13 : 3 ratio. In a cross between No. 682 x Chapatwal, red colour of Chapatwal was inhibited by the white stem colour of No. 682, while in New Dharwar x Chapatwal, red colour of stem was inhibited by green. The green colour was inhibited by light green in a cross between Surti No. 3 x New Dharwar.
The calyx colour in crosses between No. 682 x Surti No. 3 and No. 682 x Chapatwal showed 9:7 segregation ratio. In both the crosses, green was dominant in F1. In the crosses between New Dharwar x Chapatwal and Surti No. 3 x New Dharwar, violet was dominant to light purple and light green to violet respectively and favoured the hypothesis of monogenic inheritance (3 : 1).
The length of pod was found to be controlled by two genes in crosses between No. 682 x Surti No. 3, No. 682 x Chapatwal and gave 9 : 7 complementary ratio. In other two crosses viz., New Dharwar x Chapatwal and Surti No. 3 x New Dharwar, the F2 showed the mendelian segregation of 3: 1.
It was observed that local land – races are photosensitive and take about 120 –125 days for flowering. To study photoperiod sensitivity, varieties Hebbal Avare-3 and land races were grown in kharif 2000. Hebbal Avare flowered within 45–50 days after sowing, while local landraces came to flowering 125 days after sowing in the first week of November 2000.
Two crosses between landraces of Andhra Pradesh and HA 3 of Karnataka were made during kharif 2000 and F1 plants were grown in kharif 2001. All of them flowered. F2 plants were sown in May 2002 and data on flowering pattern was recorded. This showed the dominance of photo–sensitivity and the segregation between photo–sensitivity and photo-insensitivity was in the ratio of 3:1, thus indicating that this character has bean governed by a single pair of genes.
Dolichos bean Lablab purpureus L. Sweet is one of the multipurpose legumes, used as a cosmopolitan crop around the world. The crop is mainly grown for its green pods, used as vegetables while the dry seeds are used as dhal making. It is one of the major sources of protein as dietary in southern India. Its productivity is low 228 kg/ha and its nature of photo insensitivity resulted hindrance in the Dolichos bean improvement. To break the yield barrier, inheritance study of qualitative character along with quantitative character is important. In this context, inheritance and interrelationships for five qualitative characters viz., growth habit, color of leaf, leaf structure, pod curvature and fragrance in a cross of GL 153 x HA 4 were studied. Inheritance revealed the complementary gene interaction (9 : 7) for leaf structure. Whereas, growth habit and color of leaf were controlled by three genes (39: 25)- a one basic gene, one inhibitory gene and one anti-inhibitory gene governing this character. The pod curvature and fragrance/aroma were governed by four genes with a ratio 117: 139 revealing that two complementary genes, one inhibitory and one anti-inhibitory gene were involved in these characters. In the reciprocal cross(HA 4 x GL 153) inheritance revealed that one basic independent and two complementary genes (57 : 7) for growth habit, color of leaf and leaf structure were controlled by three complementary genes (54:10). Four genes controlling pod curvature (195 : 61) indicate two duplicate, one inhibitory and one anti-inhibitory gene governing this character. Fragrance/aroma was governed by two genes with a ration 13 : 3 revealing that one inhibitory gene was involved in this characters. From the study it reveals growth habit was governed by three genes GH1, and GH2 act as GH1 and GH3 act as GHAI. Whereas leaf color inherited by three genes basic gene DG1, DG2 act as DG1 and DG3 act as DgAI. While leaf structure was governed by three genes Ls1, Ls2, and Ls3 act as Ls1 or Ls2. Pod curvature was governed by four genes PC1, PC2, PC1 and PCAI. Fragrance was governed by three genes S1, SAI, S1 act as S1 and S2 act as SAI. Joint segregation revealed that there was no linkage exists among characters. All the characters were segregating independently. These different genetic ratio of direct and reciprocal cross was due to characters governed by duplicate genes. Multiple alleles, genetic and cytoplasmic effects, maternal effects and their interactions.
The nature and magnitude of genetic variance for yield and its component traits were studied in Indian bean using diallel analysis. The estimates of general combining ability (GCA) variance were much higher than specific combining ability (SCA) variance except days to 50% flowering, number of pod per cluster and fiber content; this indicated the importance of both additive as well as non-additive gene effects are involved in the expression of these characters. Genotypes NIB-69 and NIB-54 were identified as good general combiner for pod yield per plant. The cross combination viz., NIB-57 x NIB-69, NIB-69 x NIB-80, NIB-32 x NIB-54, NIB-41 x NIB-69 and NIB-23 x NIB-54 were the most promising crosses for improvement of pod yield. In the light of present study, the use of good general combining parents in the hybridization programme, selection of the desirable segregants from the segregating generations by adopting progeny selection method for exploiting additive genetic variance would lead to rapid improvement in this crop.
To our knowledge, detection of linkage and its phase and estimation of recombination fraction and distance between genes controlling photoperiodic response to flowering time and growth habit reported in the present study is first of its kind in dolichos bean. The strong linkage in coupling phase suggests effectiveness of selection for PIS plants in breeding populations using growth habit as a surrogate, as the latter is easily observable/assayable under field conditions. Also, relatively small-sized F2 populations will suffice to recover and select PIS plants with determinate growth habit. Cultivars with PIS and D growth habit are desirable from farmer's point of view, as they facilitate high density planting and hence help maximize productivity of Dolichos bean.
Gradual shift in onset of monsoon driven by climate change, has forced farmers to unpredictably delay the sowing to match the crop growth period to distribution of rainfall. Sowing date is one of the most important factors which have tremendous effect on biological yield of a crop species. This is specifically true in highly photoperiod sensitive crops such as Dolichos bean. Theoretical considerations and farmers' belief are in favour of photoperiod sensitive cultivars under delayed sowing environments. The photoperiod sensitive (PS) and photoperiod insensitive (PIS) genotypes were planted during August, September and October months (representing delayed sowing environments) in randomised block design in two replications. The data were recorded on days to 50% flowering, primary branches plant-1 and fresh pod yield plant-1. The performance stability of five PS and five PIS Dolichos bean grown in delayed sowing dates was compared based on three criteria namely per se performance, regression (bi) of environment indices on crop response and deviation from regression (s2di) to examine theoretical consideration and farmers' belief. The per se performance of PS genotypes was superior to PIS genotypes although they displayed greater sensitivity (bi>1) to sowing date environments. On the other hand, performance of PIS genotypes was lower than that of PS genotypes but displayed least sensitivity (b = 1) and higher stability (S2di non-significant) to sowing date environments. If farmer choose PS/PIS cultivars, they need to be planted not later than September to harness their complete genetic potential. The study provided preliminary evidence to support theoretical hypotheses and farmers experience-based view that PS cultivars perform better across delayed sowing date environments although they may not be as stable as PIS cultivars.
An understanding of the effect of environmental cues, especially photoperiod and temperature on time to flowering, and the genetics of photoperiod-induced sensitivity to flowering time (PSFT), growth habit (GH), floral and pod traits help enhance the pace and efficiency of breeding dolichos bean, a photoperiod sensitive (PS) short-day grain legume species. A series of experiments carried out at the experimental plots of the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru during 2012-2015 revealed the greater role of temperature than photoperiod in regulating time to flowering of PS genotypes. Dolichos bean requires critical minimum and maximum photoperiod of 11.11hrs and 12.28hrs, respectively for time to flowering. While, PSFT and flower color (FC) are each controlled by bi-allelic monogenic locus, GH, pod curvature (PC) and raceme emergence (RE) are each controlled by two genes with classical complementary and inhibitory epistasis, respectively. The genes controlling GH, PSFT and RE are linked with recombination fractions and map distances of 0.24 and 33.61cM between PSFT and GH, 0.35 and 61.40cM between PSFT and RE and 0.31 and 49.43cM between GH and RE. Higher amino acid sequence homology of dolichos bean homologues (LpLFY, LpFKF1, LpLHY and LpTFL1) of Arabidopsis PSFT candidate genes (LFY, FKF1 and LHY) and GH candidate gene (TFL1) with those of soybean, common bean and Medicago and cleaved amplified polymorphic sequences assay indicated possible similar genetic and physiological mechanisms controlling PSFT and GH. The results did not favour ignoring epistasis in studies designed for determining the relative magnitude of additive and dominance genetic variances controlling the target traits. The study also revealed preferential use of parents contrasting for general combining ability and/or with intermediate genetic divergence to maximise the frequency of heterotic hybrids, the use of which is likely to result in greater chances of recovering high yielding purelines.
The choice of suitable selection strategy for genetic improvement of any crop species hinges on the relative contribution of additive and non-additive components of genotypic variation of economic traits. Simplified triple test cross (STTC) design was used to detect epistasis and assess epistasis-driven bias in the estimates of additive (ɑ2A) and dominance (ɑ2D) components of genotypic variation of economic traits in Dolichos bean. The material for the study consisted of 12 genetically diverse inbred lines and two pairs of testers contrasting for economic traits. The 12 inbred lines were crossed to two pairs of testers in 2012 rainy season to generate two sets of STTC progenies, which were evaluated in 2013 and 2014 rainy season at the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru, India. The results indicated an important role of epistasis in inheritance of all the traits in Dolichos bean. While ɑ2A predominated in the inheritance of racemes/ plant, ɑ2D predominated in the inheritance of pod weight/plant. Only ɑ2A was important in the inheritance of days to flowering and seed weight/plant. The 12 inbred lines used in the study contributed significantly to varying extent to epistasis governing different traits in both sets of STTC progenies in both years. The bias in the estimates of ɑ2A was greater than that in the estimates of ɑ2D. Therefore, it is not advisable to ignore epistasis in studies designed for determining the relative magnitude of ɑ2A and ɑ2D controlling target traits in Dolichos bean.
An investigation on inheritance of qualitative traits in dolichos bean revealed biallelic monogenic control of photoperiodinduced sensitivity to flowering time and flower colour in F2 and F3 generations. While, growth habit and pod curvature are each controlled by two genes that exhibit classical complementary epistasis, raceme emergence was controlled by two genes that displayed classical inhibitory epistasis. The dominant alleles, at two different unlinked pairs of genes are necessary for plants to exhibit indeterminate growth habit and bear straight pods. Any other combination of alleles at the two pairs of genes result in plants displaying determinate growth habit and bearing curved pods. While, the genes controlling growth habit, PSFT and raceme emergence are linked. Those controlling flower colour and pod curvature are segregated independent of each other. These results are discussed in relation to strategies for breeding dolichos bean.

As usual, Rock was happy to oblige, but how many cats do you know that would let you get away with this?
The happiest day is May 6, 2009 ― my Rachmaninoff's 18th birthday! He was born on May 6, 1991 and in human years he is 88 years old. My "Man of the Forest" is truly an Earth sign boy.
Rock was not expected to live this long but thanks to the exceptional and loving veterinary care provided by Melanie and Julie, today Rock is doing what he loves most, enjoying the green grass in the fullness of spring.
His legs are strong again, he is enjoying his food and making his rounds in the garden and woods he has spent a lifetime exploring. At night, when he sleeps beside me, he presses his cheek next to mine and purrs with deep contentment. I know he is expressing his gratitude for all that I do to keep him feeling his best. Those moments are so poignant. For 18 years now my Rachmaninoff has been my best writing companion, soulful friend and the little boy I always wanted. Against all odds he has made it farther than anyone expected. I am mindful that these are the sweetest days.
These Are the Days, by Natalie Merchant and 10,000 Maniacs, on old favorite, seems like a perfect birthday song for Rock. Click here to listen.

Patient Stories:Dan Bellizzi
As you enter the main lobby of Hospital for Special Care (HSC) on Wednesday mornings there will be a friendly, elegantly-dressed gentleman greeting you at the front desk. His name is Dan Bellizzi. Ask anyone here; 'Dapper Dan' always wears a freshly pressed three-piece suit and a big smile.
Over twenty years ago, Dan first entertained patients at HSC as a member of the "Barbershoppers." Today, he still comes to play the accordion for patients on the Medical Rehab Unit, which he plays by ear — using no sheet music. In addition he volunteers at the front desk one day each week and often covers for others who cannot make it in for their shift. In his 80s, he is one of the most informed and professional volunteers and he is always ready with a new joke.
Dan came to HSC from Saint Francis Hospital in February of 2011 for rehab in the Cardiac Medical Unit. By June, only four months later, Dan became one of HSC's front desk volunteers. Michele Chambrello, the CMU Care Manager, says "Dan's recovery and rehab has always gone well due to his motivation, participation in the plan of care and receptiveness to learning."
He remembers Michele's visits to see him every day. She would say, "Good morning Sunshine!" with a towel draped on her arm, balancing the tray of medication on her shoulder. "For the salad course, we have Norvasc for your blood pressure, and our pasta course for today consists of a multivitamin." She says Dan would add his own witty pun to make this usually monotonous, yet necessary task more light-hearted and funny.
Dan has a chronic cardiac condition. He has been admitted to HSC three times since his initial admission. However, this doesn't stunt his spunk and motivated, independent nature. Colleen Doyle, one of his therapists says he "is ready to rock when he comes in, he is on a mission and he is going to do tasks his way." She says Dan was open to his therapy, but he was careful to assess the tasks and make sure they would help him regain his independence outside of the hospital. "He has places to be and people who count on him, so he wants to make sure he'll be there," she says.
To date, Dan has volunteered over 180 hours at HSC. He volunteers two days a week at the State of Connecticut Judicial Department. During his first admission to HSC, his nurse observed that his status had improved a lot, so he decided to purchase his dream vehicle: a Dodge Ram. Come rain or shine, or even snow, Dan has been seen in his truck coming in to volunteer. "He is someone who is not defined by his age," Colleen explains.
It was the nature of HSC, he says, that made him want to "do something." "Everyone here is like family. Even the housekeeping services say 'how are you?' When food services found out that I don't care for broccoli, I was never given broccoli again." During his first admission he said, "I believed I belonged here. I knew I had to do something when I got discharged." Six years later, Dan continues to "do something," and he does it to a T.
Dan passed away in 2017, after 90 happy and full years.

- toffee sauce: shopping list
- 80 gm yellow sugar shopping list
- 80 gm corn syrup shopping list
- 80 gm unsalted butter shopping list
- 80 gm 35% cream shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Start by cutting the bread circles. Using a set of pastry cutters, cut 12 x 2" rounds and 6 x 2 ½" rounds on a firm work surface. Butter each circle with a good dab of butter. Butter the insides of the ramekins. Place one 2" round into the bottom of each ramekin. Drop a teaspoons worth of apple butter onto each disc followed by another 2" round then press down to evenly distribute the apple butter. Drop another teaspoons worth of apple butter onto the next layer and finish by pressing the 2 ½" round on top then press again to distribute.
- custard:
- Place all the eggs, sugar and vanilla into a small bowl and whisk together to blend. Place the milk and the cream into a small saucepot and heat just to scald.
- Pour the milk into the egg mixture while whisking quickly to incorporate.
- Ladle some of the mixture into each ramekin to fill. Use your fingers to slightly pull the sides away of the bread to allow to fill more custard a bit at a time until full. Place the ramekins into a 2" high walled casserole. Add enough boiled water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins then place into the oven and bake for 20-22 min or until set.
- pecan praline:
- for a few minutes. place the sugar and pecans into a heavy stainless frying pan and set on high heat until the sugar turns into a clear liquid . reduce the heat to medium and stir with a wooden spoon for 3-4 minutes. the sugar will deepen with color. cook until the nuts are lightly toasted. remove from the heat and add the remainder of the ingredients sprinkling evenly over the praline to distribute. toss for a few seconds then pour onto a lightly oiled baking sheet to cool for 15 minutes.
- toffee sauce;

ATLANTA – Australia's Adam Scott birdied his last two holes Friday for a 5-under 65 to emerge from a packed leaderboard and take a one-shot lead over K.J. Choi going into the weekend at the Tour Championship.
Scott, who won the Tour Championship in 2006, is No. 19 in the FedEx Cup, making him a long shot to capture the $10 million bonus. His main concern was heading home to Australia after this week with the crystal trophy from the Tour Championship.
His chances have changed, even if his focus hasn't.
Scott finished with two birdies for the second straight day on the tough closing holes at East Lake Golf Club. He hit a 9-iron from a divot on the 17th to 7 feet, then hit a 3-iron into about 10 feet on the par-3 18th to finish at 8-under 132.
"I just figured if I win this week, I'll be happy no matter what. I'll finish what I think has been a really good season," Scott said.
England's Luke Donald, the No. 1 player in the world and No. 4 in the FedEx Cup, shot 68 and was two shots behind with Australian Jason Day, who had a 67.
Choi also had a 65 and will be in the final group Saturday with Scott.
Bubba Watson had the low round of the day at 64 and was three shots behind with Bill Haas and Keegan Bradley - a pair of Presidents Cup hopefuls - and Hunter Mahan.
Bradley, who had a two-shot lead after the opening round, bogeyed two of his first five holes and never quite recovered in his round of 71.
Scott, who won the Tour Championship at East Lake in 2006 the year before the FedEx Cup was created, also had a scrappy start with three bogeys on the first six holes.
"I was pretty annoyed at myself, but I'm playing too good to let myself flip away at the moment," he said.
Scott proved that by running off four straight birdies, then adding another on No. 12 with a deft shot from a fairway bunker to about 8 feet that put him ahead of Day, who only six holes earlier had been five shots clear of Scott.
The two Australians were paired together in the final round of the Masters and finished in a share of second place. They went at it again in the second round at East Lake.
"I'm in front and then he comes back, and then he's in front and I come back," Day said. "It does fire you up because everyone wants to win it, and you just want to go out there and play the best you can."
Donald made the turn at even par on the day, then kept bogeys off his card on the back nine to stay within range. Donald is so high up on the FedEx Cup that he doesn't have to win to claim the $10 million prize.
"I was very happy with the score," he said of his 68. "I didn't hit the ball quite as solidly today, and I didn't quite have as much control as I did yesterday. But you're not going to hit it perfectly for 72 holes. There's going to be days when you're going to have to really fight and have some good short game to get you out of some trouble. That was the case today."
Fourteen players were separated by five shots going into the weekend, a group that includes two of the top five players in the FedEx Cup standings - Donald and Matt Kuchar.
Brandt Snedeker, who finished 11th in the Presidents Cup standings and is hopeful of being a captain's pick, birdied his last hole for a 69 and was only five behind.
With two days remaining, there is no clear favorite for the FedEx Cup - or for the Tour Championship.
"You get a bunch of good players together, and these things are going to unfold like this," Scott said. "I think everyone is just enjoying being here and trying to do the best they can, because there's a lot at stake, obviously."

Betting bot
Budget $100-300 USD
I require a betting bot to use on [url removed, login to view]
The bot will be used to lay bets (bet to lose) on uk and IRE horse races only - and only on those that are to win (not place).
The application will be fully automated, placing bets without the need for supervision once the stakes have been entered.
The different types of bets that i want made are as follows:
OVER_ROUND - the lowest odds will be taken from the horses running and if an arbitrage occurs, the system will place the required amount of money at these odds. The lowest odds for 2,3,4 and 5 horses will be taken. Whichever has the highest arbitrage will bet that these horses lose.
LONGSHOT - the system will wait until 3 horses have odds of 2.9 or less, then lay these bets. All the remaining horses will have a bet of 3.9 placed on it, until one of these bets is taken then the odds will be moved to 4.9 etc - each time the amount being staked will be altered to ensure the original stake is not exceeded.
HISTORY - the system should be able to tell the user how many bets were successfully completed and how many weren't. No other information is required as the betfair site has a full history of all the bets made. This is an at-a-glance guide.
I have all the formulas etc for arbitrage calculations and can provide an excel spreadsheet to those that bid if required.
Please note that the system must be able to tell if a bet has been accepted or is still outstanding. It would also be useful if it was able to pull through the "bank" amount.
If any programmers have done similar projects, please specify what these did when making your bid. As bets must be layed (from the pink column) as quickly as possible - i would give preference to those with experience and who have a good grasp of betting - especially on the betfair site.
This project is for personal use, so i have no interest in the copyright of code - i just require that the program not be sold on to anyone else.
More details can be provided on request.

The Proctor – Preview AvailableSaturday, May 24th, 2014
A preview of the new game The Proctor is now available. The game board is functional, but there are currently no assignments other than that devilish Fickle Finger. The startup page contains several (hopefully) self explanatory options. One that may need a little more is the apply doubles checkbox. When this feature is enabled, punishments and times resulting from landing on a square are doubled. This can be devastating when used in conjunction with the 3 months option for Go To Chastity. Once you've set the options, click Create New Game. When the board has been loaded, click the big, brown Roll! button to move around the game circuit. You get 200 merit points for passing GO unless you land directly on it. Then you accumulate only 100 unless doubles is checked in which case it's back to 200. When an assignment with a time limit is given, it's continuously reported under the Requirements / Time Remaining table. Times are reported in ddd:hh:mm:ss format where
ddd = days
hh = hours (24 format)
mm = minutes
ss = seconds
In the near future, sounds, square activities and server connectivity will be added. Please let us know of any incompatibilities. Testing was performed on IE 9/10/11, Chrome, FireFox, Safari, Opera, iPad and iPhone. Please note that this game is NOT compatible with Internet Explorer version 8 and below at this time. Sorry

Israel Hits Back at Turkey Over Scuppered Air Force Drill
Turkey bans Israel from international air force drill; U.S. then withdraws, leading to cancellation of drill.
Turkey announced on Sunday the cancellation of an international air force drill at one of the country's air force bases, which was to include Israeli jets.
Foreign Ministry sources said that Turkish military officials had approached the Israel Defense Forces recently with a surprising demand that Israel refrain from participating in the drill, due to the IDF's activity in Gaza.
Israeli inquiries on the matter with the Turkish foreign ministry were met with evasive responses. Consequently, the U.S. and Italy withdrew their participation from the drill in protest, which led to the cancellation of the entire drill.
Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon called Ankara's step "a blow to NATO, European and American interests," and suggested the United States and other NATO members approach Turkey over the exclusion.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been under pressure recently to exclude Israel from the drill, on the grounds that Israel should not be allowed to participate while its planes are bombing the Gaza Strip
In his response on Thursday, Ayalon played down the effects Turkey's decision might have on political relations between the two U.S. allies.
"Turkey has been and remains an important strategic anchor in the Middle East, and certainly its relations with Israel is something that serves the entire region," Ayalon told Israel Radio.
Turkey, a secular country ruled by an Islamic-oriented party, had long been Israel's best friend in the Muslim world. But ties have cooled sharply over Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's sharp criticism of Israel's winter war in the Gaza Strip, especially in light of a televised fracas between President Shimon Peres and Erdogan at the Davos Conference this past January.
In light of the Turkish demands regarding the air force drill, Israel approached U.S. officials stressing that the unusual nature of the move, which violates the understandings regarding Israel's participation in NATO drills, like the drill in question.
Turkey adopted a critical stance on Israel and Erdogan maintained that Israel was carrying out genocide in the Gaza Strip. Since then, the two states have maintained diplomatic and military contacts but have not had any meetings between high-level officials.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu's cancelled his visits to Israel recently after Israel denied his request to visit the Gaza Strip from Israeli territory.
Davutoglu had been invited to take part in the Presidents' Conference, which is scheduled to take place in a few weeks in Jerusalem.
Israeli officials' feared in regard to the visit is that if Davutoglu goes to Gaza, it will become a festive event for Hamas and it will become a media circus with the Turkish FM staying amidst the rubble of buildings destroyed by the IDF during Cast Lead. Officials suspected Davutoglu would also be encouraged to make anti-Israel statements.
Davutoglu was appointed foreign minister only recently, and has sought a role in future peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
A top Israel official said "Turkish leadership during Operation Cast Lead did not encourage us to agree to this request."
