Apple Strudel
For the nutty breadcrumbs
How to make it:
Baking time: 40–50 minutes (slightly less for puff pastry)
More Austrian recipes
- strudel dough or puff pastry
- approx. 1.5 kg apples
- 80 – 100 g sugar, as required
- 4 tbsp raisins
- rum
- lemon juice
- cinnamon
- ground cloves
- confectioners sugar for dusting
- melted butter or possibly 1 egg for coating
For the nutty breadcrumbs
- 100 g breadcrumbs
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp ground hazelnuts
How to make it:
- Prepare the dough yourself, or have the shop-bought dough to hand. Soak the raisins in the rum.
- To prepare the nutty breadcrumbs, heat the butter in a pan until it bubbles up. Add the breadcrumbs and fry slowly over moderate heat until golden brown. Towards the end, stir in the grated nuts, cook quickly and remove from the heat.
- Peel the apples, cut into slices and quickly sprinkle with lemon juice. Then, depending on the acidity of the apples, add a suitable amount of sugar and ground cloves, and mix in a generous pinch of cinnamon. Pre-heat the oven to 180 °C, and grease a suitable baking form with butter.
- Place strudel dough on a sheet of parchment paper. Distribute the nutty breadcrumbs over half of the dough. Scatter the apples and raisins over it. Coat the remaining surface of the dough generously with melted butter, fold in the edges at the sides and roll up the strudel. Seal the ends well and lift the strudel onto the baking form using the parchment paper (if using puff pastry, apply the apple filling in the center, fold up the sides and edges towards the middle and press the sealing edges together firmly).
- Depending on the dough, coat with melted butter (for strudel dough) or egg (puff pastry) and bake for 40 – 50 minutes until golden brown (bake puff pastry for slightly less time). Remove the finished strudel, leave to cool down and sprinkle with icing sugar. Serve cool or cold.
Baking time: 40–50 minutes (slightly less for puff pastry)

For an uptown sushi place, this place is pretty good. Dining in means good, attentive service and getting delivery is usually fast. But what's with the downtown pricing?! $16 for a special roll? It makes no sense for an uptown joint.
Posted by uptowncouple on 02/21/2015
This place is so mediocre. The food is not worth mentioning at all, the service is slow and unfriendly, and the delivery is just down right bad. I can't get over how much they charge on their menus. I am just going to have sushi downtown from now on. No matter how much I crave sushi, it is not worth the price-to-mediocrity ratio that this place provides. I take my hat off to you if you can stand this place. Mediocre.

I was surprised to see that in the Heights you can fine decent Sushi. I highly recommend this place. The food is amazing!

I ate here once before years ago, but that was before I got into sushi/sashimi. Well, I ordered delivery for the first time tonight. Which, honestly, I was a little worried about due to our neighborhoods lack of good Thai and Indian food, and well, you know, because it raw fish. I was pleasantly surprised. The quality was pretty dang good. Honestly, I have no complaints and I love that they don't tint their ginger pink. The only thing I wish is that there are options with cilantro. Looks like I don't need to head downtown for my eel, tuna, and wasabi fix! Also, the portions are faily huge, especially for the price. I ordered The Crazy Dragon roll and it was 8 giant pieces. The wasabi roll was also 8 large pieces (though not as large) for 12 bucks- the other night I had a wasabi roll in Hells Kitchen that cost $9 and was 4 super tiny pieces...both were of equal quality. Like I said, I was overly surprised at this place. I will definitely be ordering and dining here again, and again, and again.....

I had a dinner party last night here in Inwood for 4 people. If you want an easy, no cook, no mess, not much cleaning-up after the party, order the Love Boat for 3-4 people. And, as their menu states, get your camera ready. The platter was gorgeous and my guests oohed and aahed (we're talking seasoned NYers here). The sushi was wonderfully fresh and the quantity of food was just right. As suggested I ordered the platter 2-3 hours in advance for an 8pm delivery -- they were on time. When my guests arrived the table was set with tea lights and the Love Boat as centerpiece. Nice. Yes, they do keep raising their prices, but except for the addition of sake and plum wine, my dinner party cost me $25/person. I replaced the included salad with miso soup and added 1 seaweed salad for everyone to chat 'n share before digging into the sushi. And if I factor in that I didn't have to shop, cook or prepare a damn thing -- this was a great deal. A winner. And here I am, a personal chef, still shocked the next day that my kitchen and stove are so clean. And no guilt over not spending hours at the stove just to impress my guests.

MAP: Child poverty in your area
Posted: February 20, 2013|
MORE than 43,000 children are in poverty across Notts, according to new figures.
And in Nottingham North, more than a third of children are considered to be in poverty, compared to just five per cent of children in Rushcliffe.
The data, collated last year, suggests that 37 per cent of children in Aspley, Basford, Bestwood, Bilborough and Bulwell live in households earning less than 60 per cent of median income.
Enver Solomon, Chair of the End Child Poverty campaign said: "The child poverty map reveals the depth and breadth of child poverty across the country showing the gross levels of inequality that children face in every region. Far too many children whose parents are struggling to making a living are having to go hungry and miss out on the essentials of a decent childhood that all young people should be entitled to.
"The huge disparities that exist across the country have become more entrenched and are now an enduring reality as many more children are set to become trapped in long term poverty and disadvantage."

Save Beer Can Island and Our Slice of Paradise
Longboat Key permit is quality of life issue
The State of Florida has issued a notice of intent to issue a permit for three groins on the south side of Longboat Pass. The area's natural island used by thousands has been under attack for years. The Terminal Groin which would be built, is a long jetty (almost two football fields in length) reaching from the natural shoreline next to LBK Pass, west into the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Imagine going out next summer and the place you've enjoyed for years, Beer Can Island, is paved over with concrete. No more lazy river rides with the outgoing tide, no more safe place to bring your boat onto the beach with your family. Your last bit of natural Florida is history, and all against the covenants that were created years ago to maintain the island in its natural state.
The driving force behind the destruction is the City of Longboat Key with the help of a few County Commissioners. What would simply defy logic to most of us is somehow logical to these politicians. Two condos were built too close to the Gulf waters in the 70's and the beach became too close to the structures. So the State allowed a permit for a concrete seawall which changes the forces of the wave action and the sandy beach is gone and will not stay in place. Every time, Longboat Key combats this by dumping more sand. As you can guess, it washes away. Essentially, we are talking about $10 million of taxpayer money to save 2 condos that were built before all the new codes – and the unintended consequences will now be at the expense of such recreational quality.
The engineers who profit so much from permitting and building structures, tried to permit concrete islands in the gulf. Resistance to that idea led them to formulate a pass management plan that show how these man-made structures (groins) can keep the sand in front of these two condo structures. The State of Florida, now seeming to favor the destruction of the environment versus preservation, issues the notice of intent – and you have only 14 days to challenge it!
Just like the Indigent Sales Tax vote, Long Bar Pointes' proposal to massacre the environment relies on a permit notice that occurs when they hope no one is watching; in the lazy days of summer, when many residents are traveling and snowbirds have returned north. It was not a written policy, but out of respect for the citizens, these big decisions would not come forward in the summer under past boards. Today, commissioners – or at least the majority of them – seem to have no problem letting, or even helping interested parties slide beneath the radar. Again, case in point, the sales tax issue.
|As you can see, the development stretches far beyond the natural shoreline
So what can you do if you want to save Beer Can Island? The formal way is to challenge the permit, which any of us should be able to do since we all have a substantial interest in this permit. The second is to request an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) be done before a permit is issued. This would allow a public process that has not occurred and force all the options to be looked at, even removal of the two condos, which, regardless of how much sand is on the beach, can be lost in the next major storm. You can also write your commissioners and tell them to stop this attack on our quality of life. The quick destruction of the natural beauty we have enjoyed and protected all these years can and will take place unless we take action.
On the heels of Independence Day, it is important to do our part just like those who have risked so much in order for us to enjoy such freedoms. Part of that freedom is to be free from having our natural places destroyed that we as Floridians enjoy, places which also are important to our local economy. The places that developers want to destroy are actually on state lands. This is not a property right they are entitled to develop. It is our property, and we have rights to not have them destroyed.

Sherlock Holmes is a consulting detective, who at one time became a wanted fugitive in his hunt for Lord Blackwood, while constantly being followed by the presence of Professor Moriarty.
After the death of Irene Adler,[1] Holmes was driven by revenge to bring down Moriarty.
Biography Edit
Personality Edit
Sherlock is eccentric, brave, and extremely intelligent. He has his own degree of personal cunning and a slightly suave demeanour. He is focused, vengeful and rather egotistical and strong-minded. He is also devilishly enigmatic and seemed to be clever enough to surpass James Moriarty, who was himself mentally inordinately agile. He cares deeply about John Watson, enough to challenge Moriarty about it. He also thought he was more devious than Moriarty.
Abilities Edit
Holmes' abilities lay mainly in his skills of deduction and his genius-level intellect. He is also shown to be proficient in many known martial arts and boxing and had an aggressive, if not slippery, fighting style.[1][2] His style also involves psychological warfare. He is an adept boxer and was able to hold his own, overwhelm and defeat opponents in the ring. He is also a highly skilled marksman.[2]
Behind the Scenes Edit
Downey was visiting Joel Silver's offices with his wife, producer Susan Downey, when he learned about the project. Ritchie initially felt Downey was too old for the role because he wanted the film to show a younger Holmes on a learning curve like Batman Begins. Ritchie decided to take a chance on casting him in the role, and Downey told the BBC that "I think me and Guy are well-suited to working together. The more I look into the books, the more fantastic it becomes. Holmes is such a weirdo". Downey also revealed what his wife had to say: "that when you read the description of the guy – quirky and kind of nuts – it could be a description of me". Downey intended to focus more on Holmes' patriotic side and his bohemianism, and felt that his work on Chaplin has prepared him for an English accent. Ritchie feels his accent is "flawless". Both Downey and Ritchie are martial arts enthusiasts, and have been inspired by the Baritsu mentioned in the 1901 story The Adventure of the Empty House. Downey lost weight for the part, because during a chat he had with Chris Martin, Martin recommended that Holmes look "gaunt" and "skinny".[citation needed]

MONDAY, Oct. 22 (HealthDay News) -- Women diagnosed with breast cancer who have a mastectomy are increasingly choosing to have their other, healthy breast removed as a preventive measure.
The rate of the procedure, called a contralateral prophylactic mastectomy, more than doubled from 1998 to 2003, according to a new study.
The increase concerns study lead author Dr. Todd Tuttle, chief of surgical oncology and associate professor of surgery at the University of Minnesota Medical School. He believes many women may be making the choice for inappropriate reasons, and removing the other breast may be unnecessary.
"We don't know why women are choosing this," he said. "If they are choosing it because they think it will improve their breast cancer survival, I am very concerned. It won't improve their overall survival."
Research has failed to show a survival benefit with the second mastectomy, Tuttle said in his report, published online Oct. 22 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. The reason: The risk of cancer spread from the original breast to other body sites often exceeds the risk of getting cancer in the second breast, he said.
Tuttle and his colleagues evaluated 4,969 women who chose contralateral prophylactic mastectomy, looking at the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. From 1998 to 2003, the rate of preventive mastectomy for the second, healthy breast increased from 4.2 percent to 11 percent. Those most likely to choose the preventive operation were younger women and non-Hispanic whites.
Tuttle said there are times when a second mastectomy is appropriate. "I will tell patients to consider it strongly if they have a known genetic mutation -- BRCA1 or 2 [the so-called breast cancer genes] -- or a very strong family history, such as first-degree relatives who develop breast cancer before age 50," he said.
"Sometimes, we will recommend it in those who need mastectomy on one side and because of body symmetry issues, the other breast would be too big" once the cancerous breast is removed, he added.
Tuttle's advice is in line with advice from the Society of Surgical Oncology and the American Cancer Society. Many women overestimate their risk of getting cancer in the second breast, according to the Society of Surgical Oncology.
In March, a study led by researchers at Wake Forest University found that most women diagnosed with breast cancer who also chose to have their unaffected breast removed said they didn't regret their decision. And they said their quality of life equaled that of women who chose not to have a preventive mastectomy, according to the study in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
Dr. S. Eva Singletary, professor of surgical oncology at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, said the increase in requests for the preventive mastectomies found in the new study "rings true clinically" for her patient population.
Singletary credits the increase in second mastectomies to "an improvement in breast reconstruction techniques," among other factors. Women who opt for immediate reconstruction after a mastectomy may be more likely to choose contralateral mastectomy and get the second breast reconstructed at the same time, sometimes to achieve better symmetry, particularly if they are heavy, she said.

God did not say that those who are "nice" or "good people" will know life everlasting – yet we test God believing that being "good" is "good enough" for God.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals' Rob Housler enjoying competition at tight end
TEMPE, Ariz. -- To say this is a big offseason for Arizona Cardinals tight end Rob Housler would probably be a bit of an understatement.
The former third-round pick out of Florida Atlantic is entering his fourth NFL season, and up to now has yet to really make good on his enormous amount of potential.
Sure, there have been flashes, and last season Housler posted a career-high 454 receiving yards along with his first NFL touchdown.
But he hasn't done enough to claim the tight end job for himself, and given the importance of the position in Bruce Arians' offense, it's understandable why the team went out and signed John Carlson as well as spent a second-round pick on Troy Niklas. Added to a tight end group that already included Housler, Jake Ballard, Darren Fells and Andre Hardy, the team has a stable of tight ends that could be very effective.
"The tight end competition has been outstanding," Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said Thursday after the team's final minicamp practice.
Arians calls it an "NFL room with probably more numbers than we can keep with guys that can actually play." That means not everyone who is on the roster right now will still be there when the team takes the field against the San Diego Chargers in Week 1.
While Housler is arguably the best receiver of the group, he was drafted by the previous regime and may be facing a make-or-break training camp. With just 96 receptions, 1,004 yards and the one touchdown in his career, he doesn't have the kind of track record that would guarantee him much of anything.
"There's always competition in a room, and I mean that in the sense of you're competing against every tight end in the league," Housler said.
If the 26-year-old is miffed over the team adding more players at his position, he's hiding it well. Housler said he's "delighted" to have everyone, including Carlson and Niklas, on board.
"So far I like the competition," he said.
The new competition, at least thus far, has been brought in the form of Carlson, a free agent pickup who has battled injuries but caught 177 passes for 1,906 yards and 14 touchdowns in his career. His presence, quarterback Carson Palmer believes, has motivated Housler.
"It's been phenomenal to have John for a number of reasons, but mainly he's really pushed that tight end group," he said. "He's really brought the best out of Robbie, bringing competition to that spot. He's really helped Robbie improve and made Robbie improve."
There were multiple instances during camp when Arians praised Housler's performance. Whether it's due to increased competition, comfort in the system or simply the maturation process, the Cardinals will certainly take an improved No. 84.
"I don't know if it's extra motivation as far as pushing me to be better," Housler said of the influx of talent at the position. "But it's definitely one of those things where the reps go down, the reps are shared, and so you kind of see the fact that you have to be precise in everything you do.
"It's actually easier this year to be precise at what I'm doing because I'm familiar with it. So you can kind of see both ends of the spectrum and for me it provided a good perspective on everything. It's been a great minicamp and I welcome John into the room. It's been a good offseason."
Housler emerging into a viable threat would be huge for the Cardinals, because players who stand 6-foot-5 and 250-pounds who run like he does can present a real problem for opponents.
And that would in fact appear to be Housler's greatest advantage. While the team's other options at the position are capable receivers, none, save for maybe Niklas, offer the raw ability Housler does.
"They all kind of feed off of each other," Palmer said. "There's one guy that's fast, there's one guy that's big and powerful, there's one guy that kind of does it all.
"I think that's what Coach Arians kind of envisioned at that position -- not a bunch of the same guys, but a bunch of different guys."
It may be a strength, but as Arians said, there are too many players for too few spots. Housler is entering the last year of his rookie contract and not making the kind of money that could lead to the team cutting him for cap space, so it would stand to reason if he can build off his offseason performance and have a good training camp, a roster spot and key role could be his in 2014.
Confident, Housler says he's improved a lot since the end of last season.
"It's helped with the development with not only the building a bond with the coaches, the system, but expectations as well," he said. "So you needed to define your role, and once you have that figured out I think you can excel."

By Howard PodgurskiHow long can you afford to be without your information technology?What does information technology mean to your business? Do you know the business value with timelines of every device and application on your network? The warehouse PC with the shipping app probably has more immediate business value than the CEO's PC with the business analysis app.An often-overlooked aspect of information technology for small and mid-size organizations is the recovery time objective (RTO) from failures. This should not be confused with backups, which is only one component of RTO.
Simply put, RTO is the duration of time and a service level within which a certain business process must be restored after an IT disruption in order to avoid a break in business continuity.
The science of information technology, RTO, covers volumes on planning and technologies for a wide range of business needs. For many businesses, the investment in creating a comprehensive RTO plan may be hard to justify — but it doesn't make it any less important.
When the need exists but the money doesn't for this type of planning, it's time for the minimalist guide to kick in. At a minimum, what are the things that can or should be done to avert a disruption of business operations?
Start by creating a timeline, an operational work flow chart.
Then, create a business value by application chart.
Overlay the two and see what matches up and how they coincide. This overlay will help with the creation of a recovery time objectives for all applications and devices on your network. Using my example above, the shipping PC app would probably rank very high in both categories as compared to the CEO business analysis PC app.
So what are your options for RTO management? It's a plan that includes a combination of tools, technologies and tasks. The tools include network monitoring and alerting automation. The technologies include backup technologies and network hardware. And the tasks include service level agreements with task assignments for resolving the problem.
Technology investment without RTO management pretty much negates the value in the first place.

I was hoping Rampage would say eff it and come like 240, lol
I posted some comments earlier before watching the weigh-ins…
I'm just finding this so funny cauz Quinton 'Ramone' (yes Ramone) Jackson usually puffs out his chest and opens his mouth when he knows he's isn't up to par as required. You can testify to this by watching many of his Pride fights where he is confident and emotionless (earlier UFC fights too), eventually beating his opponents down like dry timber in the woods.
Buddy… Getting cut, dehydrated and camera ready doesn't make you a fighter… Even if you are from Memphis or wherever the 'F' you say you're from!
Coming from one of your lost fans, get ready to leave the UFC with your eyes glazed, your heart broken and thousands of live fans plus millions more on PPV booing your lazy ass out of the cage you sorry ass millionaire cry baby.
After getting a chance at a better life and a legacy for your little ones, don't look for sympathy or underrating here!
Dear Stan,
Please stop watching me while half naked and writing letters to me. I won't reply.
Rampage picked this fight because he knows Glover isn't coming for no decision. I think he gets more up for a guys whos going to come at him rather than circle, leg kick td atempt and play it safe.
It's going to be one hell of a fight. Same with Cerrone vs Pettis can's see iether of them being boring.
i agree totally. you took the words out of my mouth.
Please kill yourself.

War of wordsApril 01,2013North Korea has declared it is in a state of war with its prosperous, democratic neighbor, South Korea, and it has threatened to close down a factory complex the two nations have been managing on a cooperative basis.
And, in recent weeks, North Korea has engaged in a pattern of strident rhetoric replete with vows to launch missiles aimed at those nations it considers its enemies, including the United States. It has been taunting Americans with video depictions of Washington in flames, presumably from a North Korean missile attack.
The war declaration mentions the death-defying battle with the enemies that promises to achieve a final victory of the great war for national reunification true to the important decision made by Kim Jong Un, the relatively new North Korean leader.
Because Kim is so young and so new to the worlds stage, it is difficult to measure the seriousness of these threats. There is no way to know, with certainty, whether hes bluffing, if hes a fool, a tool of his generals, or a genuine, mature menace.
Political and military analysts in South Korea, China (North Koreas closest friend, but a wary ally at best) and the United States must all be scratching their heads as they try to develop a strategy for dealing with Kim.
From a distance, Kim may appear immature at best and unbalanced at worst, but such assessments are little more than guesswork, and a miscalculation could bring serious consequences. However, the greater danger of a miscalculation would appear to be to North Korea because if it were to launch any attack, that would surely invite retaliation from its much more powerful foes, including the United States.
A worrisome fact is that nobody knows much about Kim except that clearly he has a flair for the dramatic (and is propped up by a busy but rather transparent propaganda machine that portrays him in heroic fashion). Also, he leads a nation that often appears to take pride in being aggressively contrarian in many ways.
And then theres this reality: Technically, North Korea and South Korea have been in a constant state of war since the Korean conflict back in the 1950s, a fact that would somewhat seem to render the new declaration of war virtually meaningless.
Also, there are few signs that North Korea is actually planning to fight. For example, there have been no reports that it has massed troops along the border with South Korea. However, the threat to shut down the shared factory complex is worrisome, because its continued operation had been taken as a good reason to believe that all the other war talk was just so much chest thumping to impress Kims subjects.
The 8-year-old complex, with 123 South Korean factories, is a vital source of cash for North Korea because it generates more than $92 million a year in wages (based on a meager average monthly wage of $144) for the 53,400 North Koreans who have jobs there.
When South Koreans cited those statistics, North Korea angrily responded with its customary bellicose propaganda.
The South Korean puppet forces are left with no face to make complaint even though we ban the South sides personnels entry into the zone and close it, North Koreas official Korean Central News Agency declared Saturday. It also complained that North Koreas dignity was insulted by South Korean media reports suggesting the North was keeping the complex open only to obtain hard currency.
We must all hope this remains a propaganda war and nothing more.MORE IN CommentaryMike Huckabee says President Barack Obama is using his nuclear deal to take the Israelis and...

With a fifth-place, a fourth-place, and two second-place finishes in their four fall events this season, the Wildcats made significant strides on that front.
"We made a lot of progress," said Craig. "We were consistent. That was the biggest thing we were looking to gain coming into this year because last year we were wildly inconsistent and it cost us."
What it cost them was a shot at an NCAA tournament berth, a destination that Kentucky hasn't reached since the 2008-09 season. Last season, the Cats were considered a bubble team, but Craig felt that his team had a few more quality wins than some of the other teams on the bubble. But despite their success in the spring, it was their fall struggles that kept them from returning to the NCAA field.
Craig was fairly confident heading into the fall that his team would resurrect its game and find success this fall. And as the team improved from tournament to tournament, a leader emerged for the Wildcats.
Though he's just in his second season of collegiate golf, sophomore Will Bishop has become a budding star and a leader on this Kentucky golf team, both on and off the course.
Bishop picked up an individual tournament victory, albeit a weather-shortened championship, in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The Lexington, Ky., native picked up his first collegiate win shooting a career-low equaling two-under-par 70 in the lone round of the tournament, propelling Kentucky to a second-place finish behind Ole Miss.
And while his game has been on a steady rise since last season, his work ethic off the course has been equally impressive to his head coach.
"I'm really happy for Will because in the spring semester he really buckled down, changed his attitude, matured," said Craig. "He's one of our team leaders now, on and off the golf course. He does everything the right way, great kid, works hard, super-talented, great fundamentals. There's no reason he shouldn't keep getting better."
The Querencia Cabo Collegiate tournament was the final tournament of Kentucky's hectic fall schedule. With the Wildcats finding success and consistency over the last four events, they head into the winter with a much sweeter taste in their mouth than a year ago.
While Kentucky's play in the fall may not carry over to the spring, the Wildcats should carry a bit of momentum at least into the winter. Craig says his team will a more cheerful disposition and that seeing the fruits of their labor will help them continue to push harder in the offseason.
Now, as UK takes a bit of a break from the game to recharge the batteries as the seasons change, the Wildcats continue to work with an eye toward the spring. The golfers are still getting into the weight room bright and early at least three times a week to work on their bodies and strength.
Though the Wildcats are working on their physical strength individually, they will be much stronger as a team with a new addition to its roster. Craig reeled in junior transfer Ben Stow from England, and after sitting out the fall portion of the schedule, the transfer from the United Kingdom will now be competing for UK in 2013 as the most accomplished amateur player on its roster.
His teammates are cognizant of Stow's success as well. Craig says Stow's presence and track record alone has immediately elevated the team as a whole.
"Ben, you can tell clearly, demands a little bit of respect because of his record," said Craig. "It's also because of the way he takes care of his business. He doesn't fool around. He works hard in the classroom. He works hard on the golf course. That's a good model for his peers."
With how the Wildcats performed over the last few months and the addition of Stow to the 2013 rotation, the bar has been raised with an eye towards a run in the Southeastern Conference and a return to the NCAA Tournament.
"This year, for us, I think that our expectations are pretty high because we add a new player in Ben Stow in the spring," said Craig. "Stow is the most accomplished player on our team in amateur golf. And by far."
But the one thing the Cats must carry in their bags with them this spring over from the fall competition is its consistency. Consistency was the biggest key to UK's success this fall, and consistency will be instrumental for the Wildcats again in the spring.
Without it, those high expectations and dreams of postseason success may not come to fruition.
"Consistency in golf is huge," said Craig."That's where all the rankings and postseason births are based on: consistency."

United States Patent 3,290,165 SURFACE MODIFIED PIGMENTS Joseph Iannicelli, Macon, Ga., assignor to J. M. Huber Corporation, Locust, N.J., a corporation of New Jersey No Drawing. Filed Apr. 1, 1963, Ser. No. 269,695 8 Claims. (Cl. 106-308) This application is a continuation-in-part of applicants copending application Serial No. 189,321, filed April 23, 1962, entitled Surface Modified Pigments, and now abandoned.
This invention relates to finely divided particulate inorganic pigments modified with amino organosilanes and the process for their production.
When inorganic pigments are modified with the silancs according to this invention, the properties imparted to them are such that they can advantageously be used as fillers for thermosetting resins such "as polyurethanes, epoxy polymers, melamine polymers, phenolic polymers, ureaformaldehyde polymers, unsaturated polyesters, as well as other polymers and elastomers including polyethylenes, polypropylenes, polystyrenes, saturated polyesters, polyamides, polyvinyl compounds, polyisoprenes, polybutadienes, polystyrenebutadienes, and the like.
The modified pigments can also be advantageously used as fillers for'paper, aints, varnishes, inks, and paper coating compositions.
By the use of these modified finely divided particulate inorganic pigments, improved physical properties are imparted to the vehicles into which they are incorporated.
Inorganic pigments modified with amino organosilanes have affinity for direct dyes and are useful for imparting various colors to the vehicles.
An object of this invention is to provide modified pigments especially useful as fillers.
Another object of this invention is to provide modified pigments which are dyeable with direct dyes and are useful as color-imparting fillers.
A further object of this invention is to provide modified pigments which can be used :as fillers in applications where they had heretofore been unsatisfactory.
A still further object of the invention is to provide cross-linkable fillers capable of imparting improved abrasion resistance among other improved properties to elastomers.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following specification.
I am aware of extensive efforts in the prior art to improve properties of filler pigments by modification with organosilanes. Hydrocarbon silane modifications of pigments do impart improved dispersions in organic vehicles but such modifications do not normally increase reinforcement in vinyl addition polymers unless the hydrocarbon silane carries specific types of unsaturation which serves to promote a more tenacious bridge between the filler and the vehicle. In any case, all these prior art modified pigments are rendered hydrophobic by modification with either saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon silanes and, furthermore, such silane modified pigments are not valuable reinforcing fillers in saturated thermosetting resins.
I have discoveredthat modification of filler pigments with saturated amino organosilanes improves reinforcement in a wide variety of vinyl addition as well as thermosetting polymers in that a strong chemical bridge between filler pigment and polymer results. Bridging is accomplished through the amino modified surface of the pigments. Surprisingly, amino organosilane modification improves reinforcement in both vinyl addition and thermosetting polymers, whereas unsaturated organosilane fillers are generally only effective in vinyl addition polydispersed therein.
mers where unsaturation is present. Another important advantage of amino organosilane modified fillers is that they are usually hydrophilic whereas prior art silane modified fillers are hydrophobic.
The modified pigments of this invention can be prepared by dissolving the desired amount of amino organosilane in a suitable solvent, adding the pigment and heating until the reaction is complete. The amount of modifier added depends upon the particular pigment being modified and the use for which it is intended. Generally up to about 15% by weight of the modifier is sufiicient for most purposes.
A particularly useful process of modifying pigments according to this invention involves spray drying pigment slurries having one or more of the amino organosilanes The spray drying process effects a uniform distribution of the modifier on the pigment and virtually instantaneously cures the modifier on the pigment The compounds used to modify the pigments can be 7 depicted by the formula:
R1\ /OR3 NXSi-OR4 wherein R is hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl, or alkylaryl; R is hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl or alkylaryl; R is hydrogen, lower alkyl, aryl, lower alkylaryl, or lower arylalkyl; R is hydrogen, lower alkyl, aryl, lower alky-laryl or lower iarylalkyl; R is hydrogen, lower alkyl, aryl, lower alkylaryl or lower arylalkyl; and X is alkylene, arylene, alkylarylene, arylalkylene, cycloalkylene having secondary and/or tertiary nitrogen present .in the chain, and/or primary, secondary, and/or tertiary nitrogen pendant from the chain. Some of these amino organosilanes are disclosed along with methods for their preparation in US. Patents Nos. 2,832,754; 2,930,809; 3,007,957; and 3,020,302. Commercially available amino organosilanes include A1100 (gamma aminopropyltriethoxysilane) and Y-2967 (an amino silane which is a modified gamma aminopropyltriethoxysilane) sold by Union Carbide Corporation, N.Y., N.Y., and Z-6020 (a diamino functional silane) sold by Dow Corning Corporation, Midland, Michigan.
Pigments advantageously modified in the practice of this invention are finely divided particulate inorganic pigments such as, for example, inorganic compounds of silicon, including hydrated or anhydrous silicas, calcium silicates, magnesium silicates, calcium-magnesium silicates, barium silicates, aluminum silicates, sodium-alumino-silicates, calciumalumino-silicates, calcium-sodium alumino silicates; clays such as kaolins which include dickite, kaolinite and nacrite, halloysite, montmorillonites including sodium and magnesium bentonites, synthetic or natural zeolites; various metal oxides and carbonates such as zinc oxide, alumina, titania or magnesia, calcium carbonate; and various non-white pigments like carbon blacks, zinc sulfide, ferric oxide and the like.
All the above fillers are available on a commercial scale and include the following, all of which are finely divided, particulate substances.
Zeosil, very finely divided precipitated hydrated silimino silicate pigments of submicron particle size and disclosed in US. Patents 2,739,073 and 2,848,346.

The results illustrate the improved properties of modified kaolin clay filled polyurethane over both the compound filled with unmodified kaolin and the unfilled compound. Note, for example, the increase in abrasion resistance with increased modification of kaolin. It is also apparent from the data that unmodified kaolin is unsatisractory as a filler for polyurethanes since the polymer did not cure. The use of modified kaolin clay not only improves the properties of the polyurethane but also decreases the raw material cost since the filler is much less expensive than the polymer.

The recipe Was mixed on a Banbury mixer at speed #1, ram pressure of 30 p.s.i., and at a starting temperature of F. The final batch was mixedon a 6-inch by 12-inch mill with a water inlet temperature of 158 F. The compound Was cured at 292 F., then tested. The results are shown in Table IV.

The results indicate that Zeolex 23 modified with gamma aminopropyltriethoxysilane, when compared with unmodified Zeolex 23 used as a filler for rubber, is faster curing, has increased modulus, increased tensile strength, and improved tear resistance and abrasion resistance. 7 It should also be noted that physical and wet electrical properties of filled resin systems can be significantly improved by treating the fillers in accordance with this invention.
I have found that in addition to the concepts disclosed above, the properties of the modified pigments are affected by the solvent used in their preparation.
The properties of carbon blacks, clays and silicates modified in aqueous systems, such as disclosed in Example 2, vary markedly from the properties of these same pigments modified in nonaqueous systems as disclosed in Examples 1 and 3.
In order to demonstrate these differences, regular Suprex clay, Suprex clay of Example 2, and Suprex clay modified in nonaqueous solvent according to the teachings of Example 7 were used in producing rubber compounds using the following recipe.
Parts by weight Smoked sheet 100 Clay (as specified in Table V) 104 Zinc oxide Sulfur, 3 Captax 1 Stearic acid 4 1 Natural rubber,
The compounds were mixed on a 6-inch by 12-inch laboratory mill and then cured at 260 F. to produce 30-, 45-, and 60-minute cures of each.
Table V below compares the abrasion index and the 200% modulus level of each of the test materials.
The results as set forth in Table V clearly indicate that clays modified in accordance with the invention impart superior properties to rubber compounds when used as a filler therein. These results also demonstrate that the clays modified in an aqueous system give a higher abrasion resistance and a lower modulus than clays modified in a nonaqueous system.
While natural rubber was used in the recipes tested in Table V, these tests were also conducted with similar results from recipes using SBR, polyurethanes and polybutadiene.
The foregoing is illustrative only and additional modifications may be made without departing from the substance of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A finely divided particulate inorganic pigment surface modified with from about 1% to 15%, based on the weight of the dry pigment, of an amino organosilane of the formula wherein R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, aryl,; cycloalkyl, and alkylaryl, R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl and alkylaryl, R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, lower alkyl, aryl, lower alkylaryl, and lower arylalkyl, R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, lower alkyl, aryl, lower alkylaryl, and lower arylalkyl, R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, lower alkyl, aryl, lower alkylaryl, and lower arylalkyl, X is selected from the group consisting of alkylene, arylene, alkylarylene, arylalkylene, cycloalkylene containing secondary amino nitrogen, and cycloalkylene containing tertiary amino nitrogen.
2. A compound as in claim 1 wherein the finely divided particulate filler is selected from the group consisting of synthetic silicas, silicates, metal oxides, calcium carbonates, zinc sulfides, and carbon blacks.
3. A compound as in claim 1 wherein the amino organosilane is gamma aminopropyltriethoxysilane.
4. A compound as in claim 1 wherein the amino organosilane is a diamino functional silane.
5. Finely divided particulate hydrated silica, surface modified with from about 1% to 15% by weight based upon the Weight of the silica of gamma aminopropyl triethoxysilane.
6. Finely divided particulate sodium alumino silicate pigment, surface modified with from about 1% to 15% by weight, based upon the weight of the pigment, of gamma aminopropyltriethoxysilane.
7. Finely divided particulate carbon black, surface modified with from about 1% to 15% by weight, based upon the weight of the carbon black, of gamma aminopropyltriethoxysilane.
8. Finely divided particulate kaolin clay, surface modified with from about 1% to 15% by Weight, based upon the weight of the kaolin clay, of gamma aminopropyltriethoxysilane.

The DoD report outlines a regional strategy based on engagement with key Middle
Eastern states, a robust forward presence, and continued enhancement of U.S.
capabilities to project military power into the region. Nye emphasized the
remarkable advances DoD has made in this regard. "In 1980, it would have taken
three months to get a credible ground force in place in the Gulf. Ten years
later, when Iraq invaded Kuwait, it took three weeks. In 1994, when Iraq again
threatened the border and President Clinton responded with the deployment of
U.S. troops, it took three days," concluded Nye.
Among the report's other highlights:
. Because of enduring U.S. interests--such as maintaining international access
to two-thirds of the world's known oil--U.S. troops have seen combat more often
in the Middle East than anywhere else in the past 20 years: over Libya, in
Lebanon, in the Gulf during the Iran-Iraq tanker war, and in Desert Storm.
. U.S. security assistance and participation in peacekeeping have been crucial
in promoting the atmosphere of confidence and security necessary for the
success of the Peace Process thus far.
. Despite losing much of its conventional capability in the Gulf War, Iraq
still possesses the largest military force in the Gulf and poses a significant
threat to the moderate Gulf states.
. There is a need for more equitable burden sharing. More than thirty
countries took part in Desert Shield/Desert Storm. These countries and others
made financial contributions to Gulf defense totaling $70 billion. The U.S.,
Britain, and France are now the only outside countries with forces in the Gulf,
and financial contributions by other recipients of Gulf oil exports have dried

Letter: Friends will be missed
To the editor:
Friendly Florist on Nicholas Street decided to close its doors several weeks ago. For decades they met the needs of Henderson and surrounding areas for floral design and professionalism in the floral business.
We had the opportunity to speak with Robin before she decided to close and she basically though it was a good time so that she could spend more time with her family. As an up and coming business in this area, Robin and her staff (Crystal, Dee, Connie and Steve) greeted us with their knowledge and professionalism but most of all their friendship.
A lot of times we would borrow supplies from each other to fill orders, which was a great help to us and we gladly would help them as well. That type of professionalism is hard to find this day and time, especially if you are supposed to be competitors.
Steve has decided to join our staff and has been a great addition with his vast knowledge and work ethic. We would like to wish all of them great success on their future endeavors, whatever they may be. They will be greatly missed.
Angela and Connie Wade

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, July 30, 2006 The Afghan National Army and coalition forces killed 20 Taliban extremists yesterday after the enemy fighters attempted an ambush from a compound in the Shahidi Hass district of Afghanistan's Uruzgan province.
The combined force repelled the Taliban's small-arms and rocket-propelled-grenade fire, killing the extremists.
There were no reported injuries to Afghan civilians, Afghan soldiers or coalition forces.
"Afghan and coalition forces will continue to destroy the enemies of Afghanistan who attempt to operate in Uruzgan province," Army Col. Thomas Collins, a coalition spokesman, said. "Through our relentless pursuit, we will eliminate extremism and those who attempt to terrorize this country."
In other news from Afghanistan, a Combined Joint Task Force 76 investigation found no evidence of coalition involvement in the reported attack on an Afghan parliament member's family July 5.
U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Benjamin Freakley, the task force commander, approved the official investigation, which concerned an allegation that coalition forces fired on, killed and injured the family.
Afghan parliament member Abdul Khaliq had accused coalition forces of attacking a civilian vehicle carrying members of his family. The investigation determined that coalition forces were not operating in the area on that day, U.S. officials said.

Currently splashed across the news is Olympic cyclist Lance Armstrong. Having recently admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs, Lance has been stripped of his seven Tour De France titles, an Olympic bronze medal and countless endorsement deals. But what drugs did this athlete use and how did they help him win?
What drugs did Armstrong use?
In an interview with Opera Winfrey, Lance admitted to using a list of performance enhancing drugs including: EPO, testosterone and human growth hormone (HGH).
EPO, or Erythropoietin, of a blood-enhancing hormone that is naturally produced in the kidneys. Athletes looking for an artificial boost can inject themselves with an artificially produced version to increase their endurance. The hormone is injected under the skin and stimulates red blood cell production. This allows more oxygen to be delivered to the muscles, which then delays fatigue and thus increases endurance.[1]
Testosterone is another natural hormone that is injected to increase performance. Increasing testosterone levels, athletes can raise energy levels and increase bone density and muscle mass.[2]
Human growth hormone is aptly named as it stimulates the growth of muscle, cartilage and bone. By injecting this natural hormone, sportsmen can increase their muscle mass and decrease recovery time. This means an athlete can train harder and for longer.[3]
With Lance admitting to using all these hormones to increase his performance, why did he then pass his doping tests? Lance himself said he didn't fail a test and with no concrete answers as to why he wasn't caught earlier, there will most probably be an investigation to find answers.

The various iPad discussion forums are aghast with tales of the new iPad showing signs of considerable over-heating in the lower-left corner (when held in portrait mode).
Over at TechRepublic, resident spanner-wielder Bill Detwiler shows a tear-down of the new iPad, claiming that it is a pain to open and reseal. In addition, the people at ifixit also offer us a view of the internals. Here's what their combined hard work very clearly shows:
1. There is a one-inch wide electronics (motherboard?) module all down the left side of the unit (the battery pack occupies the remainder of the space behind the display).
2. In the 'offending' corner is the 30-pin dock connector along with the Broadcom BCM4330 802.11a/b/g/n radio with FM receiver and Bluetooth on one side of the motherboard and on the other some non-descript electronics which appear to be involved in power and docking connector management.
3. The actual power management chip is located approximately 1 quarter of the way up the side.
4. The System-on-chip dual-core CPU and quad-core GPU are located half-way along the left side; well above the point where users are feeling the heat.
Clearly, suggestions that the CPU/GPU is running hot (due to the extra work in driving the higher-resolution screen) cannot be correct, as the heat is nowhere near this chip.
But, what is the solution? It's actually relatively clear from the tear-downs... Read on.

HP2g engine inventor meets with U.S. Dept. of EnergyWritten by Duane Ramsey | | email@example.com
Douglas Pelmear, president of HP2g.com in Napoleon, and Henry County Commissioner Richard Myers met with officials of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in Washington, D.C. om March 10 about possible funding for his firm's hybrid engine.
Pelmear said they had discussions with DOE officials to educate them about his HP2g V-8 hybrid engine, which has achieved 110 miles per gallon. He explained the technologies of the engine and provided documentation of its performance ratings to DOE officials.
The Hp2g engine features variable displacement and electromagnetic pulse power within the same engine.
It can achieve fuel economy of 110 MGP with tests showing better results than the 2016 standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, according to Pelmear.
He claims the HP2g hybrid engine operating on E-85 ethanol fuel will help preserve the environment by reducing emissions by more than 66 percent.
The company is seeking startup funds to establish manufacturing operations to produce the engine. Pelmear said the DOE is guiding them through the process for two programs for possible funding, one for grants and another for low-interest loans.
"We're moving at the speed we can, working with our own funds. No banks are willing to consider financing us," Pelmear said as the reason for turning to the government for possible funding.
HP2g is also working to qualify for numerous ISO certification requirements for manufacturing automotive products, Pelmear said.
"America needs this technology now more than ever as gas prices continue to rise and more people are desperate for work. I'm just an inventor who wants to see my products out on the road but I can't do it alone. It requires is a team effort."
Manufacturing the HP2g engine could create jobs not only in Ohio, but across the U.S. The revenue coming from those jobs and engine sales will positively benefit the local, state and federal economy, Pelmear said.
"We're holding confidential talks with major OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) in the automotive and agricultural farm equipment industries at this time," he said.
Pelmear and HP2g are working with Revenge Designs on plans to use the hybrid engine in that company's new vehicles. Revenge Designs is in the process of establishing a research and development facility for the vehicles, according to Peter Collorafi, president and CEO of the firm based in Decatur, Ind.
Ohio Congressman Bob Latta's office arranged the meeting with the DOE for Pelmear after previously touring HP2g's facilities. However, Latta was unable to attend the meeting with the DOE due to prior commitments.
County Commissioner Myers said he went to Washington with Pelmear to support him and his business. The county had loaned the company $50,000 last year toward the cost of the application process for the patents on his technology.
"It was quite interesting to meet with officials from the Department of Energy. Doug was able to answer all their questions about his engine. It was all very positive," Myers said.

Omaha, NE- Mcklayala is a single mother of two, owns her own business, has another job she works full time, and volunteers.
"When it came to time, workouts would be the first to go," she said.
Then she heard of this thing called Tabata.
"Everyone has 20 minutes," she said.
Tabata is one of the many workouts trainer Dan Wells designs for his clients at Real Results Fitness Omaha, near 132nd and L.
"Tabata works like this. You work for 20 seconds on. And you rest for 10 seconds," Wells said.
Tabata training was discovered by Japanese scientist Dr. Izumi Tabata and a team of researchers from the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Tokyo.
The Tabata workout lasts only four minutes, but is one of the longest four minutes you'll encounter. The structure of the program is workout hard for 20 seconds, and rest for 10 seconds. You do this for 8 rounds. The idea is to pack as many repetitions as possible into the sets of 20-second work periods. As a result, when the sixth effort rolls around, your muscles will be filled with lactic acid, making a simple exercise like lunges more difficult that you could've imagined.
It's a form of high intensity interval training (H.I.I.T.), and has shown to be a good choice for people who don't have the time to spend an hour on the treadmill:
-A 2011 study presented at the American College of Sports Medicine Annual Meeting, just 2 weeks of high-intensity intervals improves your aerobic capacity as much as 6 to 8 weeks of endurance training.
-One 2006 study found that after 8 weeks of doing HIIT workouts, subjects could bicycle twice as long as they could before the study, while maintaining the same pace.
-A 1996 study that found, in just six weeks of testing, a 28 percent increase in the subjects' anaerobic capacity, plus a 14 percent increase in their VO2max.
This difficulty is by design. In Tabata workouts, you never have a full recovery between sets. Your heart rate should be at or near the max and you should be out of breath by the end of a four-minute session.
"Seeing people just push past it and get to those last few seconds is very amazing to see," Wells said.
"As opposed to, you know, one of those 45 minute classes where you look at those clocks and it's 15 minutes and you're thinking, 'I haven't even had a rest yet!' So sometimes these 20 seconds, ten seconds off, it's kind of nice. It's like all I have to do is go for 20 seconds and I'm going, I'm going. Push, Push, Push!" Spore said.

The Equality California Institute is excited to announce its new statewide "Health Happens with Equality" educational, outreach and training campaign designed to introduce and enroll marginalized LGBT Californians in Affordable Care Act approved health care plans.
The campaign will prioritize outreach up and down the state to reach thousands of uninsured LGBT Californians — helping many of them to obtain health insurance for the first time in their lives. A primary emphasis will be placed on reaching LGBT people of color, and people who are transgender outside of major cities, as these populations are the most underserved by traditional health care outreach.
The campaign will provide culturally and linguistically competent services and materials to these groups. In addition to a one-on-one direct contact outreach campaign, we will also conduct "Enrollment Fairs" throughout the state to enroll LGBT community members in the health insurance/care program that is most appropriate for them. These "Enrollment Fairs" will be staffed by culturally competent technical support, thereby providing a safe environment for our community members to enroll in the program that best matches their needs. Enrollment Fairs will focus on and be located near hard-to-reach and traditionally ignored LGBT community members.
The intersectionality of discrimination based on race, class, homophobia, transphobia and HIV status are major impediments to accessing adequate health care and insurance coverage. The campaign and outreach provided by EQCAI will help to remove or reduce these impediments.

Statewide Community Clinics
While the Affordable Care Act is a great step forward toward adequate health care for most Californians, certain individuals may not be covered based on their insurance or documentation status. EQCA is committed to making sure that all LGBT Californians are connected with the health resources they need in order to obtain affordable and appropriate care. Read More >Clínicas Comunitarias a Nivel Estatal
Mientras que La Ley de Asistencia de Salud (también conocida como "Obamacare") es un paso adelante para una salud más adecuada para la mayoría de los Californianos, algunos individuos no tendrán cobertura dependiendo en su seguro médico u estatus migratorio. EQCA está comprometida en asegurarse que todos los Californianos que se identifican como LGBT estén conectados con los recursos de salud que necesiten para obtener una asistencia médica que sea económica y apropiada.
