Overview | Blog Posts | Discussions | People |
Hundreds of millions of people have high cholesterol and many are not even aware of it. There are two types of cholesterol to be concerned about. HDL (happy or good cholesterol) and LDL (bad cholesterol); you want the HDL to be higher and the LDL to be lower. Increased LDL cholesterol places you at high risk for cholesterol heart disease. Lower your LDL Cholesterol to Prevent High Cholesterol Heart DiseaseLDL (low density) cholesterol is what is considered to be the bad cholesterol. High LDL levels increase your risk of coronary heart disease. LDL lipoproteins deposit cholesterol on the walls of the arteries which causes the formation of a thick, hard substance. This substance is referred to as cholesterol plaque. This buildup of plaque on the walls of the arteries will cause the arterial walls to thicken and harden; this also narrows the interior diameter of the artery. This condition is called atherosclerosis and puts you at a very high risk of high cholesterol heart disease. Raise your HDL Cholesterol to Prevent High Cholesterol Heart DiseaseHDL (high density) cholesterol is considered the good cholesterol. This is because HDL cholesterol particles extract cholesterol from the walls of the arteries and dispose of them through the liver which aids in preventing atherosclerosis and to prevent high cholesterol heart disease. Causes of High Cholesterol
Some of these factors cannot be changed, others you can change to help lower your cholesterol and help you prevent cholesterol heart disease. |

Land deal grows park space
The city soon makes official a land-trade deal between River Falls and the Wisconsin DNR that will ultimately create more useable space in Hoffman Park's big eastern portion.
The city gains 7.72 acres of the 16.7-acre Hoffman Park East. The city and DNR co-own the land, which is designated as urban green space that must remain open and undeveloped.
"It was essentially purchased as open space, which meant it had limited uses," said Community Planning Director Buddy Lucero.

Frontier Communications Statement Regarding Network Reliability And Redundancy
"At Frontier we have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in our infrastructure to deliver robust, reliable services. Last summer's unprecedented derecho storm challenged our ability to restore service to areas severely impacted by the storm. Our employees responded to this challenge by working tirelessly to restore both 9-1-1 service and telephone service to affected customers in West Virginia and Ohio. Following the event, Frontier engaged with the FCC to discuss lessons learned and provide details regarding our emergency preparation and network resiliency processes and procedures. Based on those conversations and our own internal assessments, we further invested in our network to improve our disaster preparedness.
That effort almost immediately delivered benefits to our customers, as shown by our success in restoring service in the aftermath of October's catastrophic Superstorm Sandy. Frontier will carefully study the FCC's Derecho Report as we continue to improve our processes and preparedness to ensure reliability for all of our customers."

Michalis Papazoglou
This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009) |
Michalis Papazoglou was a Greek athlete from Constantinople. He started with track and field sports but when he came to Athens in the early 1910s, he joined the football club PPO (later to become PAO). He was the man who had the idea of adopting the shamrock as the official emblem of Panathinaikos. Beside football, he was also an athlete of discus throw and javelin throw.
Papazoglou was also a great figure in the National Resistance during the WWII. He joined the resistance group of George Ivanof (or Jerzy Iwanow) - an athlete of Polish origin of Iraklis Thessaloniki. The group's mission was to give information to the British and to organize sabotages. With some external help from the naval base, the group succeeded in destroying three German airplanes and sinking three small warships. He was arrested on the 12th of October 1942 and was transferred to the Averof prison. He was tortured but finally managed to escape in September 1944.

Front desk staffs very friendly and helpful. Balcony settings facing the lagoon. Room is spacious for family of 3.
Aircon not working well despite numerous request to get it fix, feel like staying in a sauna. Lightings in the room could be brighter.
Great hotel , good service , best club lounge
Lack of outside bars on beach
The whole property is spotlessly clean - the staff are wonderful - they cant do enough to help and ensure you have a great stay We stayed in a club room and this is a definite benefit.
Very slight negative - the bathrooms are quite small for the standard of hotel and have a strange sunken bath, which could be a hazard !
Great location on good beach. Excellent facilities for children. Really nice room. Could buy beer, mango, coconut at cheaper prices than the resort at the small shops near the beach, which was great.
Had booked a lagoon room. Was quite far from the pool, so paid for upgrade to beachside - felt a little sold to. Food options could be better.
Everything - Staff was amazing Food was great (lobby bar prices are a bit overpriced but that is rather common in high end hotels) Pool and beach were incredible (we loved the water slide) Rooms were well decorated very comfortable with amazing beach view. Would very gladly return.
The lagoon is a bit outside of everything so every time you want to eat in more Thailand friendly prices you have to take the hotel shuttle and then walk for 10 min to the nearest "town". Spa prices are outrageous - in Bangkok you can go to amazing high quality spas (real high quality) for a quarter of the prices charged. I can understand how island prices and hotel prices can make rates jump a bit but you can't more than triple the costs.
We liked everything! The location is excellent. You didn't have to leave the resort it you didn't want to, everything was on site. The staff are very friendly & no request was too much trouble. The rooms are very spacious with a balcony, table & 2 chairs. A table inside also with 2 chairs along with a long bench seat under desk. The day bed was a real plus! The room has oodles of storage space. Bathroom with separate toilet is always a bonus. Loved the lemongrass body wash & body lotion! A great venue, great facilities & happy, helpful staff all lead to a great holiday. Very highly recommended. J & R - Perth
I found the bed a little hard for my liking but my husband & our friends were happy. When travelling with others, pity the balcony isn't big enough for 4 people but this is only a minor detail.
Everything about this resort was fabulous.Great location on beautiful Bang Tao beach. Staff really lovely and great food.
Leaving : )
Good solid construction. The beach may not have the most impressive view but its still good enough. Very clean beach and rooms. The staff is very nice. The weather made this place 10 times more enjoyable (Around New years). Close to the small town. The staff can arrange rental bikes which start around 300 BHT per day and you can explore the other the whole island. Thanks Jia & Bo! you guys were excellent.
The restaurant staff can't handle large numbers. I guess the resort needs more dinning areas and additional staff for peak hours. The place attracts mostly family and kids but then i don't see many places which are strictly for young couples unless you want to stay in Patong. The beach has a isolated feel to it, which can be a good or bad thing.
The Club experience was excellent, with great staff, food and drinks. The beach and sea was very clean. The rooms were large and comfortable. And the hotel overall was modern and clean.
The balconies of the rooms are tiny and you can only see the pool area from the ocean view rooms. There was only one toilet for the whole beach and pool area and there was no complimentary water by the beach area.
Everything was perfect. Upgrading to the club is worth it.
Staff are great - From Activities to Restaurant. When you stay at the Outrigger everything is their - Fun for kids and Adults, food, beach, lagoon, choice of 3 pools. We have tried many resorts in Phuket and nothing beats it.
Twelve days was too short at this hotel.
Good location. Clearness. Good staff.
The hotel is too expensive. It was very disappointed that in spite of the fact that New Year party was very expensive the visitors were charged for everything including alcohol and even water etc. The staff looked very annoying insisting on buying water and alcohol during New year party.
This hotel's staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and cared for. Outrigger's Beach Resort included everything from extremely helpful receptionists to friendly room ladies, attentive waitresses all the way to a baby elephant who comes to the pool area twice a day to cuddle with guests and give children a ride on her back. All kinds of activities can be booked on site, a reliable shuttle service took us to and back from town, the beach is beautiful and clean. We had a fabulous time.
The pool area - great view, perfect location to the beach. Kids club was postive for us, as we could have massage etc.
Missing the old/thai classic restaurants on the beach. Today is the hotels the only lunch place! No sun chairs on the beach, still this hotel has the closet ones on the whole beach which is a +.
The club lounge. Great place to relax and slip on some coffee whilst enjoying the laguna view
Tennis, boat rides to other resorts, excellent cocktails and food, great breakfast buffet. Friendly staff and I loved the cooking course.
hotel facilities room breakfast staff pool
The laguna area is 700 BHT (taxi) far from anywhere else, so just shopping will cost you 1400 BHT extra, and Bangla road is an extra 1400 BHT and so on... massage in hotel is very expensive. no music by the pool. expensive restaurants. very small beach front near the pool. Other beach part is with rooms view or very windy laguna opening.
- Pool and water slide - Location on beach - beach - club - Seaview club room - Very well maintained facilities - Staff do a great job
- Edgewater meal serve sizes were a bit small for adults - People smoking around the pool area & restaurants
location tradition , amazing beach good breakfast buffet
too many people big resort impersonal
The service was excellent, the staff very friendly, we felt very well taken care of from the start. The rooms were beautifully decorated, the breakfast was very nice and catered for all tastes. The place looks amazing!
Very expensive alcohol, like 12 euros per small wine glass and even more expensive beer.
friendliness, ambient, waterslide and the baby elephant
kids screeming, crowded around Xmas that impacted service quality, scarcity of lawn chairs
The friendly and the understanding of the hotel Management as they allow me to stay in the hotel in other room after the check out time 12 noon until 6 pm Without charge as when I told them my flight was 12.30 am next day. This gave me sometime to rest before I went to Airport.
On 17th of December one day before my check out day I went to have my breakfast in the morning On the regular time in the club Breakfast room where a young tall man work there with other girls to serve the hotel club guests. This man he miss behave with me by saying to me some words which I don't like without any reason or provocation from my side but I didn't talk with him and I kept Quite as I am A mature highly educated person I don't bring my self Down with any body. Next morning I didn't took my breakfast in the club because of him Any how I didn't notice his name But I remember his face very well I wish the hotel management Take the necessary action against him as per the standered roles in Such situation . Thank you .

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Fewer students are bringing cars on campus this year, in line with a five-year trend in decreasing parking permit sales, The News-Gazette reports. University officials say many factors are at play, including rising permit prices; tough economic times and students choosing alternative modes of transportation. City officials say their strategy has been to draw traffic away from campus through lower prices for city parking permits for spaces on the fringe. To read the full story, click here.

Ma'am, two things: One, those social and fiscal platforms were squared in America completely for about 200 years. To say they can't be is counter to historical fact. Two: Ccitizens need to have the right to decide the legality of abortion for themselves.. There is no ABSOLUTE legality of it in the Constitution. Preferably, the STATES need to be able to decide it for themselves. The Left has no intention of playing fair on abortion. They want it, they want it paid for by public funds regardless of individual or community sentiments and they eventually want to be able to IMPOSE it, rather than ALLOW it. Vis a vis, the one-child policy of China. But, If a person who shoots and kills a pregnant woman can be charged with two felony murders, than it should stand to reason that a woman be allowed to commit one murder legally?
Abortion needs to be left up to the states to decide.

The new jailbreak is out after a very long wait. Hackers have been working endlessly for months trying to crack the latest set of devices and they have at last. A vulnerability was found in iOS 6 which has been exploited to gain root access to the devices.
You can learn how to jailbreak your device here.
The devices supported include all iPhones and all iPads.
The best thing about jailbreak is the ability to tweak your device to include more features which Apple may not allow or hasn't implemented itself.
The tweaks listed below are from a previous article we posted when the previous jailbreak was released. However they're still very relevant and very useful.
For those who want to change the look of their iDevice, Winterboard is a must. It lets you theme the hell out of your device and really change the look of it, making it really unique compared to every other device. A theme I highly recommend is Jaku.
This is a great tweak which lets you easily and quickly change settings on your device. It lets you do things like turn on/off WiFi, 3G, Bluetooth and other related stuff. Instead of having to dig through the settings app, this will let you adjust settings wherever you are in your device.
This tweak enables you to do things like activate an app or function with triple press, or shaking the device, or when you connect it to your charger. There are so many options it's crazy. Once you use it you'll understand how useful it is.
Springtomize is a tweak which lets you heavily customise things on your device which you normally wouldn't be able to do. There is a massive amount it can do ranging from slow motion UI animations to having a custom number of icons on your homescreen.
If you've ever used Android before you will know how useful it is to have notifications which are in the actual status bar, this tweak enables you to have the same kind of functionality but on your iDevice. Instead of having to go back to your homescreen or opening the notification tray to see if you have a message, an icon will show in the status bar. You can also do this for missed calls, emails and much more.
It's great that iOS has folders and you can organise your apps but one big problem with them is that you're limited to 9 apps per folder. Infinifolders enables you to have an unlimited amount of apps in a folder.
A major feature which iOS doesn't have compared to many other mobile OS' is a file manager, I mean like even Symbian enables has a file manager. iFile is a file manager for your iOS device.
If you text a lot this tweak will be highly useful for you. When looking at messages you will have noticed that a time stamp isn't put on every message so sometimes it's impossible to work out when someone has sent you a message or when you have sent one yourself. MarkThatMessage simply adds a time stamp to every message.
You may have noticed when you download apps from the AppStore you have to constantly enter your Apple ID password. This is great on security by Apple but I personally and I know others find it highly annoying. If you're the only one who uses your iDevice PasswordPilot is a great tweak which automatically enters the password for you.
Sometimes you always need quick access to that damn flashlight!
The problem with the alarm on the iPhone is that the loudness of it is set according to the loudness of your ringtone. If you're like me and don't have your ringtone volume at full blast you can see the problem in the morning when your alarm is going off at a very low volume. Alarming fixes that by putting the volume all the way up when your alarm goes off.
GridLock allows you to place your icons anywhere on the screen, instead of being automatically aligned to the top left.
If your network doesn't allow you to tether your device this tweak is perfect. It'll allow you to share your connection with other devices like your tablet or laptop.
Do you know of any other useful Cydia tweaks? Just leave them in the comments below.

This refers to the article "The rediscovery of India" by Gopalkrishna Gandhi (Aug.15). India is destined to lead the world in building a new order focussing on love, understanding and universal brotherhood, first among our own countrymen, then among neighbours, and then the rest of the world. For that we have to recollect the values and ideals expressed during the struggle for independence. We seem to have forgotten our great leaders. This was mentioned by Nehru who once said: "You don't change the course of history by turning the faces of portraits to the wall."
A.J. Rangarajan,
It is a shame that the Prime Minister has to now address the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort, caged within a bulletproof enclosure and surrounded by a number of high profile security officials.
The country has not only become a great disappointment for "Nehru 2013" but also for the aam aadmi. Except for his voting rights, he has no power. Though there is some visible improvement and development in some spheres, it is saddening that even after six decades of independence, millions still live under the Below Poverty Line grouping.
S. Nallasivan,
Jawaharlal Nehru would have definitely taken up all those issues which confront the nation in a forthright manner. We live amid corruption, poverty, hunger and self-serving politicians, with no end in sight to our travails. The august institution of Parliament has been turned into a forum for mutual recrimination and one-upmanship. Then, there is the dangerous trend of captivation by the personality cult. This obsession poses a veritable danger to democracy.
Mr. Gandhi has quite rightly exhorted us to elect honest people with a sense of idealism and a willingness to sacrifice their interests for the country's development.
J. Anantha Padmanabhan,
India achieved independence and decades have passed by, and so have men with rare integrity, patriotic fervour and a belief in oneness and togetherness. Corruption is rampant. India needs to rediscover itself, but where are the leaders who believe in us? We also live in constant fear, hatred and violence. Many go to bed without a proper square meal.
Balasubramaniam Pavani,
Mr. Gandhi's portrayal of Nehru's thoughts reminded me of the play we enacted in our training academy on the theme of Gandhiji coming alive today. Distorted idealism and modified morals have become the order of the day. But one thing that seemed paradoxical to me was his telling us that "we all are descendants of Asoka, Rajendra Chola, Akbar and Shivaji," while trying to drive home the point of Nehru's dislike towards the personality cult.
Suneel Pamidi,
The corporate world has strengthened its stranglehold on all vital institutions, including Parliament, established to ensure social security and equity. In the absence of towering personalities on the horizon, the collective will of the multitudes must be channelled to stem the rot.
Viswananthan Nair S.,
The country needs a thorough overhaul. The personal agenda of politicians and our casual attitude on a number of issues are the two most important issues. If only we become more serious in choosing our electoral representatives there could be a gross change in the attitude and agenda of our politicians, ultimately resulting in a rediscovery of India.
A.G. Rajmohan,
The article reveals the author's love for the nation but suffers from intellectual confusion. It appears to be based on simple errors of thinking. With the passage of time, ideas and ideologies will change. Nationalism stands for dedication and loyalty to the nation. Those who are at the helm of national affairs are not nationalists but an aspiring sect who want international affinity. A sense of patriotism has weakened.
Bir Singh Sangwan,
Here was an article that highlighted the dismal state of affairs, the uncontrolled scams, the total disregard for ethics and morals … the bitter list goes on. This only goes to show where we stand after 66 years of "independence" from the British Raj. I only hope that at some point we take earnest steps to curb this madness and experience heartfelt pride on Independence Day in the years to come.
Swathi Virutha,
Agreed that when compared to the stalwarts of yesteryear, the leaders of today pale in comparison. Many can never deliver a speech, Nehruvian style, in both Hindi and English. But, we are a working democracy, a free country and many are employed. We have communication tools today to learn and spread ideas that did not exist before. Our lives are far more free from the drudgery of the past. We need to stop blaming our leaders for the absence of idealism and purpose and take charge as proud citizens. There are many unsung heroes who volunteer and try to help the underprivileged in education, in creating new livelihoods and in restoring green cover. There are heroes who come from the villages, experimenting with better farming methods and improving yields. There are also role models including entrepreneurs in the private sector who help the economy expand and create jobs. We do not need to spread cynicism.
K. Anand,
Keywords: Indian Independence, Indian history, Gopalkrishna Gandhi

Important Fund Information The Global Growth & Income Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets and the Growth & Income Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in foreign securities and in an array of security types and market-cap sizes, each of which has a unique risk profile. As a result of political or economic instability in foreign countries, there can be special risks associated with investing in foreign securities.

Both Funds may invest in mid-sized and small companies which present greater risk and higher volatility than investments in larger, more established companies, and in lower-rated securities, which may present greater risk than investments in higher-rated securities.

The gift of organ donation
For the first time ever a UK Cathedral has been wrapped in a giant red ribbon to highlight
National Transplant Week
and the
fleshandblood campaign
Carlisle Cathedral agreed to host the ribbon on its exterior to lend its support to the campaign and highlight the need for more organ donors.
The ribbon itself, which measures 200 metres long and is 2.5 metres high, took four hours to install by a team of seven people. It also included a giant bow positioned in front of the historic East Window.
The stunt was designed to profile the
campaign, the first partnership of its kind between the NHS and UK churches.
This unique initiative aims to encourage church congregations to see blood and organ donation as a part of their regular giving as around three people die each day in need of an organ transplant.
It also seeks to equip people as advocates for blood and organ donation, enabling them to raise awareness of the need for donors with their family, friends and community, potentially helping to save thousands of lives each year.
As part of the morning's photo stunt the Cathedral also hosted a key presentation which focused on the purpose of the campaign and the urgent need for blood and organ donors in the UK.
Anthony Clarkson, NHS Assistant director in organ donation was one of a number of speakers at the event. He commented, 'We want to create a revolution in consent", describing the creation of a culture where it is the norm to discuss and consider organ donation. The campaign is as much about generating conversations and general awareness as it is about recruiting donors. He also spoke movingly about the difference that organ donation makes to individuals and their families who receive them.
Phil Jump, Regional Minister for the North Western Baptist Association, was present to support the event. Reflecting on the need to discuss this more openly, he commented, 'At the heart of our Christian worship are the words of Jesus – this is my body given for you.
'As those called to follow Christ's example it seems natural to consider how we can offer our bodies for the wellbeing of others. Surely the Church should be taking a lead in developing these kind of conversations – there is an obvious pastoral dimension to them, which further reinforces the importance of the Christian community taking the initiative.'
The campaign has the support of Baroness Warsi, Minister for Faith & Communities, who said, 'Faith groups can make a difference in their communities by working together for the common good and tackling shared social problems and this campaign is an ideal opportunity for them to do just that.
'It is therefore my hope that through the fleshandblood campaign, faith groups are able to donate and encourage wider support from within and around their communities.'

campaign, along with various reflection and discussion resources can be found at

A German Shepherd police dog witnesses a murder and if his owner--an Iraq war vet and former cop-turned-thief--is convicted of the crime, the dog could be put down. Few rival Andy Carpenter's affection for dogs, and he decides to represent the poor canine. As Andy struggles to convince a judge that this dog should be set free, he discovers that the dog and his owner have become involved unwittingly in a case of much greater proportions than the one they've been charged with. Andy will have to call upon the unique abilities of this ex-police dog to help solve the crime and prevent a catastrophic event from taking place.
David Rosenfelt is the former marketing president for Tri-Star Pictures and lives in Southern California.

I was late with an idea (two holidays at once) and when I finally decided I assumed it would be to late to order. I was urged by my spouse to access the internet. You were there with all the supplies I would need and a promise to deliver. Not only was the service excellent, it arrived within the hour specified! Wow! Thank you.

Altra The Paradigm Men's Shoes Blue/Yellow Product Page
Comments: I ran IMLP in the Hoka and the instability and tightness in the toe box really had my feet aching. I switched to the Altra Paradigm and I am running pain free and happy again. Great cushioning, better stability and the toe box are far superior to the Hoka.
From: Jeff, Portland, OR, USA. February 27th 2015
Comments: I wasn't so sure about maximum cushion shoe, but after trying the Olympus, I knew I had to try the Paradigm too. This shoes has been my long run/ultra marathon dream shoe. Super light and cushy you feel like you are floating on air. Would highly recommend.
From: Emir, Flourtown, PA, USA. January 4th 2015
Comments: Switch from Asics Nimbus to the Paradigm. It took about 3 weeks for my feet to comfortable running in these shoes. I felt pain in my arches the first few runs but became less and less with each run. I'm a heal striker trying to convert to forefoot and this shoe makes it a lot easier. I have really grown to love these shoes. They are great on trail runs - very stable footing. Perfect for forefoot runners. I'm 6'1" 195, 20 to 40 miles a week runner. I wear the same size as I did in the Asics Nimbus shoes.
From: Terry, Phoenix, AZ, USA. October 28th 2014
Comments: I've put about 300 miles into these shoes so far. I'm 6'0" 150 lbs and I've really enjoyed this shoe so far. The shoe feels very soft underfoot without sapping too much of your momentum on footstrike. It's definitely nice having all the soreness in your muscles instead of your joints after a 20+ mile run. They're also surprisingly light for their size. The zero drop helps to keep my form and cadence from getting sloppy, and the toebox is great for wide-footed individuals like myself. My only concern is that the upper doesn't fit very snugly over the foot, even after cinching down all the laces. Still it hasn't interfered much with my runs--still injury free! I'm strongly considering running my next marathon in these.
From: Jon, Arlington, VA, USA. August 20th 2014
Comments: Just bought these shoes locally. Went out for 5 miles this morning, fastest run I've had in a while. Outer soles are a stiffer than the Olympus but it is a road shoe. The biggest surprise was the fit....I have a 9-1/2 Olympus pair and they fit well, had to go down a 1/2 size to a 9 with Paradigm because toebox was SO BIG!! Try on in a store first if you can to get correct sizing, not sure why these are so much bigger than the Olympus.
From: Todd, Lexington, KY, USA. August 5th 2014
Comments: If you're a high mileage, mid or forefoot striker, you need to try these. I wore a hole through a pair of Hoka Bondi 2s last Summer, and having now fully migrated to zero drop (but NOT minimalist), I think the Altras fill the gap well for those of us who want zero drop but still cushioned shoes. Here's how the Paradigm shoes are better than Hoka Bondi: * better outsole with actual rubber; * better upper - more flexible, feels more breathable * lighter weight * much less heel cushioning, which sticks way out on the Hokas and inhibits forefoot striking * EVA cushion is more firm and boucey, not mushy and pillow-like; easy to run fast in the Altras * wide forefoot shape * consistent size fits across shoes (9.5 in Paradigm is same 9.5 in Instincts) Overall, I'm very happy with these, providing a perfect shoe for your long distance runs and recovery runs. I rotate these these with Altra Instinct 2.0. I'm 5'11 150 and run 40-50 mpw.
From: RJ, Washington DC, USA. July 10th 2014
Comments: I have just under 100 miles in these and I'm impressed. I turn 40 this year and the Paradigm's cushioning really feels good on my daily runs. I'm 6' 1" 160 lbs. and this shoe's cushioning is something I have never felt before. I went through two pairs of Torins, and although I liked them, they didn't have the same floating on clouds feel of the Paradigm. The stack height doesn't feel weird or bulky. I've been running in 90+ degree heat and I haven't noticed my feet getting hot, so they obviously breathe well.
From: Andy, SC, USA. June 20th 2014
Comments: Really enjoyed this shoe. Took it out on a 7.5 mile run on dirt roads, trails and paved roads. Love the wide toe box, it really is like nothing else out there. They have a lot of cushioning, but are by no means soft shoes. They do not have the Hoka pillowy feel to them, but definitely have a good amount of material underfoot. The zero drop is awesome, if you're used to it. I really enjoyed running in these shoes, as they feel lighter than the Hoka's and I didn't feel like I was losing energy due to too much cushioning. Definitely would recommend them.
From: Brian, New Jersey, USA. June 3rd 2014

Abstract: Three starches from the wheat varieties AK58, ZM18 and YZ4110 were separated into large (A) and small (B) granules, which were characterized structurally and evaluated for their functional properties. SEM results showed that the size of A-granules from ZM18 and YZ4110 were about the same, but the sizes of A-granules and B-granules from AK58 were larger than those of ZM18 and YZ4110. FTIR spectra showed that all the samples exhibited a similar pattern, with seven main modes with maximum absorbance peaks near 3,500, 3,000, 1,600, 1,400, 1,000, 800, 500 cm−1. The B-granules of ZM18 and YZ4110 had less amylose content, although the difference among the total amylose contents of the three unfractionated starches was not significant. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns showed predominantly A-type crystallinity for all the starches. The A-granules showed sharper XRD patterns than the other starches. DSC analysis showed that the A-granules had broader ranges of gelatinization temperatures than the B-granules from the same wheat variety. The gelatinization enthalpy (ΔH) of A-granules was higher than that of B-granules. AK58 exhibited the smallest enthalpy, while ZM18 showed the largest enthalpy. In pasting tests, the A-granule starch of AK58 had higher peak, final and setback viscosity, lower breakdown and pasting temperature, and the B-granule starch and unfractionated starch of AK58 had lower peak, breakdown, final and setback viscosity and higher pasting temperature than ZM18 and YZ4110.
