Obama's Surprising Soft Spot for Rels. Liberty

President Obama apparently has a soft spot in his heart for religious liberty. And the New York Times editorial board is not pleased. The president last week issued a much-awaited executive order setting government-wide policy on community-based and religious nonprofits that receive federal grants. The executive order is meant to act on the recommendations of the President's Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.

Featured 1800Flowers Customer Complaint:
Name : Twizz
Email Address : email@example.com
Name of Delivering Florist : Downtown Waterfront Florist
My Complaint : On 05/13/2012...I ordered Mother's Day
flowers from 1-800-Flowers, (they use Downtown Waterfront
Florist as their local florist) for the Clermont area. I ordered
a standard Mother's Day arrangement of mix flowers and
roses with a small box of chocolates and a card to be
delivered the day after Mother's Day. They were not delivered
until after 7 p.m. which is unprofessional.
I can understand being late but they were promised before
5 p.m. My Mother was not home when they arrived, they were left at her front door, wilted, thrown together loosely with no packaging and without the standard flower food packet and NO CHOCOLATES (which were paid for)!! Odd, so I called 1-800-flowers to let them know how unprofessional the arrangement looked and how late the
delivery was and how the chocolates were not included.
They refunded the money for the chocolates and wanted to make it right so they had the Downtown Waterfront Florist send another bouquet of flowers (what was originally ordered). My Mother was not home when they delivered the second arrangement and she prepared by leaving a note on the front door to please leave them in the backyard instead of the front porch this time. When they delivered the second arrangement, the delivery person left the flowers in the back yard as requested but saw the first arrangement sitting there and TOOK the first arrangement?????
I was in shock when my Mother called to tell me this. They were late on the first delivery and left her a HORRIBLE looking arrangement of flowers not even close to what was ordered, thrown together and did NOT deliver the chocolates that were paid for. In addition, Downtown Waterfront Florist TOOK her first arrangement on the second delivery because she happened to have them sitting out back????? This is HORRIBLE customer service and unfortunately, even though 1-800-Flowers tried to make it right, I will NOT use them again since they broker with Downtown Waterfront Florist.
Everyone makes mistakes but when they took the arrangement on the second try, WOW! Good, keep them! Being in the flower business is a special and honorable business. You get to brighten people's day and bring joy to them. Instead, this company does not seem to care that they RUINED my Mother's Day surprise for my Mom. Instead of feeling excited and happy, DISSAPPOINTMENT is the word!! Someone's lack of pride or care in their work on a joyous occasion turned sour.
My advice to this company after what I experienced and all the reviews I read after the fact, either get out of the flower business or sell your business to someone who takes pride in the work and enjoys bringing other people happiness. You brought misery, headache and stress on such a joyful occasion. Mistakes happen and can be forgiven but the second time around∑stealing her first arrangement of flowers is POOR, POOR, POOR! To anyone reading this I highly recommend using a different florist! The flower arrangement was expensive and not of the quality that was promised for the price.
The delivery of product was well below average, not equivalent to what it cost and was late! Who's to say if they really forgot to include the chocolates or if the delivery person took them too? They took the first arrangement of flowers on the second delivery, so not such a far stretch to think? Not to mention the priceless joy they stole from the surprise of the gift! Go elsewhere! Buyer Beware!

If you order $50 worth of flowers from 1800Flowers the delivering florist is only given $35.50 for the order & charged $2.25 to take the order?
It's true: If you order from 1800Flowers, the local florist that creates & delivers your flower order is only given 71% of the product amount. The additional fees you paid to 1800Flowers like the service charge 1800Flowers keeps for themselves (i.e. $14.99).
1800Flowers then sends the order to the local florist and charges that florist a $2.25 receiving fee. The total is now $33.50. The florist then backs-out the cost of goods, labor, and gas/delivery fee.

What is in this article?:
- Planter Clinic Part 1: Finely tuned planter can't overcome other deficiencies
- Strip-tillage more of a challenge
- Variable seeding rate technology available
• The name of the game with any planter is achieving uniform emergence.
• When you get a good consistent stand across an entire field, you reduce yield variability.
FARMERS INSPECT THE latest offerings in planting equipment at the Alabama Planter Clinic in Shorter.
EDITOR'S NOTE — The Alabama Cooperative Extension System recently hosted a Planter Clinic at the E.V. Smith Research Center in the east-central part of the state. Presenters discussed the calibration and setup of planter units, new metering technology, and the impact of planter performance on crop yields. Beginning today, we will present a three-part series highlighting information presented at the clinic.
"The sins of planting will haunt you all season."
Ozzie Luetkemeier, Purdue University
The ultimate goal of optimizing planter performance is to make high yields, but there are some factors that even the most finely tuned planter can't overcome.
"You have to make sure you have adequate soil fertility and pH, manage any compaction problems to make a good zone in which plants can develop, use quality seed, plant in a timely fashion, and obviously you need a good stand," says Kip Balkcom of the USDA-ARS National Soils Dynamics Lab in Auburn, Ala.
Planting is a critical component that affects everything else farmers do, says Balkcom. Considering the future demands on agriculture worldwide, the effects are far-reaching, he adds.
"World population continues to increase, growing exponentially in recent decades. We're at 7 billion people now, and we're expected to be at 9 billion by 2050. That's a lot more mouths to feed. That problem is complicated by the fact that our arable land is decreasing.
"It's not just a problem in the United States, but it's one shared by countries throughout the world. This is a direct result of an increasing population and urban sprawl.
"Even if our arable land doesn't decrease, we've still got to increase our efficiency, and we need to produce more than what we've produced previously," he says.
One of the many factors that affect planting is the date, which depends upon soil temperature, says Balkcom.
"Our planting dates are, in a way, set for us. We can tweak those known dates or time periods. And many times, growers tweak them earlier to get the crop in as early as possible. This sometimes leads to cooler and wetter soils. You don't want to plant in an environment that puts that seed at a disadvantage from the very beginning and increases the potential for disease."
Planting dates must be managed carefully, says Balkcom. "With cotton, we know we need to have a soil temperature of around 65 degrees F. for four or five consecutive days. Then we have to take a look at the weather following the planting. Will we have enough heat units to get those plants out of the ground and get it off to a good start? These are all important considerations."

Letter to the Editor
The Ukrainian Weekly
The Ukrainian National Association
Parsippany, New Jersey
Sunday, December 29, 2002
It is inexcusable that Kyiv lacks a proper memorial to the victims of
the Great Famine, the artificially induced mass starvation that took the
lives of 7 million to 10 million Ukrainians in 1932-1933. We welcome
the recent announcement by the Ukrainian World Congress that it would
erect a suitable monument in Kyiv in time for its gathering in Kyiv next
August. Yet we believe that the time has come to develop a broader
plan and vision.
Seventy years after Stalin and the Soviet regime eradicated a good
portion of the Ukrainian population, the world knows little of what
occurred and how the nation suffered. Few governments officially
recognize that such a tragic event took place, much less label it the
genocide that it was. Even in Ukraine most schoolchildren do not know
what happened during those years of Stalin's terror.
A commentary appearing in the English-language newspaper Kyiv
Post, written by Morgan Williams, a public relations professional living
in Kyiv, suggests a broader approach to a memorial to the Great Famine.
He believes Ukraine needs an educational and research center in the
heart of the country's capital.
Citing the lack of knowledge on the man-made cataclysm of 1932-
933, Mr. Williams, states: "The basic plan should, therefore, include the
construction of adequate facilities for research, documentation, education
and study, including a library and museum. Such a facility would create,
for the first time in Ukraine, a suitable venue for scholarly research into
the Famine-Genocide and other crimes of communism."
Mr. Williams suggest taking the idea for a memorial and expanding
it to include a complex of facilities in the center of Kyiv. He states that
the project for a proper Great Famine memorial in Kyiv could be
pushed back from a deadline of next year to 2008, which would allow
sufficient time to plan the project, gather the funds and build the
facility. It would also allow for a memorial complex to open on the
75th anniversary of the tragedy.
We believe this to be not only a superb idea, but one that is long
overdue. A research and education center would provide those
researchers who have investigated the Great Famine with a facility
to continue their work. Such a center would also allow for a
concentration of material and energy, a critical mass of information
and documentation that would become an effective counterpoint to
those who would continue to maintain that no Great Famine ever
existed or if it did it was either a natural calamity or the result of
human error in establishing a collective farm infrastructure.
While it is obvious that such a center would be an expensive
proposition, the Great Famine is a historical event of such magnitude
that we must do whatever it takes to preserve its memory and enter
it into the world's historical record.
While it is open to question as to what degree current state
and government authorities in Ukraine would actively support and
fund such an undertaking, we duly note here that in the past they
found sufficient funds in the state budget for such grandiose, and
worthy, projects such as the rebuilding of St. Michael's Golden-
Domed Sober and the Dormition Sobor in the Monastery of the
Caves complex.
Yet the government need not be the single or even primary
source of the funding for such an undertaking. Many in our diaspora
have backed away from financial support for Ukraine in light of the
financial abuses and corruption that have marked Ukraine's difficult
transformation into a European society. Contribution to a research
and education center on the Great Famine would give many of us a
way to reignite our efforts on behalf of Ukraine and our great nation.
We believe that a Famine Center in Kyiv is a project worthy of
the Ukrainian World Congress. The idea deserves serious
consideration by the UWC and a public debate within our diaspora
on how it might develop.
The Ukrainian World Congress announced on Sept. 27 that it had "decided
to honor the memory of the millions of victims of the Great Famine in
Ukraine 1932-1933 by erecting in the name of all Ukrainians who live
around the world (the Diaspora) a suitable monument in the city of Kyiv."
The UWC said the 70th anniversary of the famine should be marked by
construction of a monument that would be dedicated during the Seventh
World Congress of Ukrainians in Kyiv during August 2003. It also called
upon the Ukrainian and other governments to recognize the famine as an
act of genocide against the Ukrainian people and to condemn the
The country is unquestionably in need of such a monument. It would quickly
become known and recognized around the world, and would serve as a
potent symbol of the terrible crimes committed against Ukraine and her
people and of the hope that such crimes will never be repeated.
The program to build such a monument is welcome, but it is important to
consider the larger picture and the totality of needs that exist in Ukraine
today. Scholars who have studied the great famine and related issues insist
that much more than just a new monument is needed. Those working on the
great famine in Ukraine have said that construction of an educational and
research center is the first priority and should be included in any plans to
honor the memory of the famine victims.
"The enforced famine of 1932-1933, engineered by the Soviet regime in
which 7 million to 10 million Ukrainians perished, qualifies as one of the
most massive genocides the world has ever seen and as one of the most
heinous mass crimes ever committed by man against man," the UWC said.
Prior to 1990, the majority of research on the famine had to take place
outside Ukraine. It is now high time for domestic scholars and researchers
to document the crimes of communism from within Ukraine. The resources
made available to the Association of Famine Researchers of Ukraine and
other worthy organizations for their work over the past 11 years have been
totally inadequate. Considering the importance of these issues, the meager
resources allocated have been an embarrassment. There is work that urgently
needs to be done now before the last of those survivors who have personal
knowledge of the famine die. This work cannot be done without more support.
The basic plan should, therefore, include the construction of adequate
facilities for research, documentation, education and study, including a
library and museum. Such a facility would create, for the first time in
Ukraine, a suitable venue for scholarly research into the famine-genocide
and other crimes of communism.
The UWC is being asked by many in Ukraine to consider extending its
program from a one-year to a six-year initiative. It would thus be completed
in time for the 75th anniversary of the great famine in the fall of 2008.
Such an extended program, involving a variety of organizations, businesses
and leaders in Ukraine and around the world, could raise the funds necessary
to build the proposed monument and the educational and research complex.
If such a major historical project is undertaken over the next six years,
the UWC should take into account the following considerations:
A very central, important and visible location should be found and offered
by the city of Kyiv. The UWC should not settle for anything less.
The location selected in Kyiv should be large enough to allow for the
construction of the monument and also the construction of the research,
education, library and museum center over a five- to six-year period.
The design of the sculpture-monument and the educational complex must
be world-class with a creative and inspiring design. The sculpture cannot
be allowed to be as mediocre and disappointing as some of those raised in
Kyiv in recent years. The complex must be "for the ages," and must honor
appropriately the famine victims.
Adequate funds must be committed for building the monument and the
educational complex. The UWC should state that it is prepared to raise, in
cooperation with a variety of governmental and private organizations,
including those from Ukraine, whatever it takes to fulfill the program.
The UWC is to be congratulated for its drive to have the famine recognized
as genocide and to build a new monument. The UWC should indeed lead this
project. But while the UWC should certainly focus on the Ukrainian Diaspora
for support and help in raising the necessary funds, it should also open
their program to include selected individuals in Ukraine who have studied
these historical issues, representatives of leading Ukrainian organizations
and businesses, and government leaders. The UWC should also include those
individuals, organizations and businesses around the world that have shown
they are friends of Ukraine and that want to participate and provide
support. Participation should not be limited to those of Ukrainian heritage.
The UWC may also wish to consider including in the 70th to 75th-anniversary
program annual food drives that would raise a large quantity of food and
funds. Unfortunately, political famines still occur today, 70 years after
Stalin used an artificial famine as a tool in his overall plan to crush the
people, culture and spirit of Ukraine. The food and funds collected would be
distributed to those around the world who are starving due to the policies
of inept and corrupt governments that continue to engage in repression,
murder and genocidal actions to achieve their goals.
A program like that outlined above, when completed, would be a major step
in the long effort to ensure that the million of victims of the 1932-1933
famine-genocide and the many other repressions against Ukraine and her
people over a long period did not die in vain.

Yet another minor Happy Wheels update
on October 27, 2015
After reading a couple suggestions in the last news item, one of them was actually a new idea I hadn't thought of that would be very easy to implement. Another I thought was going to be simple, but instead was much more complicated... and now I am slightly mad at myself for spending as much time as I did on the old game. Here's the changes:
you can now set triggers to be activated by mouse click by setting "triggered by" to 6.
triggers can now trigger multiple actions per object for most objects.
selected items that can be double clicked into are now surrounded by blue bounding boxes.
These are fairly straightforward, but I feel they're fairly helpful. Mouse clicking should add a lot of new funny possibilities.
Ok, I'm now going back to working on the sequel in severe, painful isolation... permanently if I can manage it.
As for mobile Happy Wheels, there are several new levels in production... we'd like to get them out for the next character as soon as possible.
**10/29/15 - fixed the inevitable new feature bugs for mouse activated triggers
**11/2/15 - fixed them again.

Minor Happy Wheels Update
on September 23, 2015
So for the sake of ourselves making some more interesting IOS levels, I made couple small changes in the flash level editor. They mostly all involve the harpoon gun:
Harpoon guns can now be set to a fixed angle of your choosing. The turret will only aim in one direction, and will fire as soon as a human target crosses it's cleared path. There is no path prediction when firing at the target, so the harpoon has a lower chance of being fatal. This will make it easier to have characters jump over a bunch of harpoons without causing instant death.
Harpoon guns can now be fired with triggers. It is also possible to set it so this is the only way the harpoon will fire.
Triggers can also be used to activate and deactivate the harpoon gun.
A little light now signals the state of the harpoon gun. Red is normal, blue is a fixed angle harpoon gun, green means it will be fired by triggers only, and black is deactivated.
Boost panels now have a variable power setting. They were originally set to 20, and now go from 10 to 100.
Ok, that's it!

Happy Wheels iOS deep thoughts
on August 21, 2015
After only one day, Happy Wheels is ranked as the #1 free app in the iOS app store! Why? I don't know. I'm guessing a lot of you must have tried it out. It sure is exciting. Forget those apps that help you navigate home or communicate with your significant others. They have always been worthless. Repeated failure and human dismemberment are what's important in life. Thanks so very much to all the new and long term fans for putting the game where it currently is. I have no idea how long it will stay there.
I wanted to address a few things regarding the mobile game that some of you may be wondering about. As you may have noticed, there is no user level browser. There is also only one character available for the 15 levels we provided. The game was released this way because the most important thing was just to initially get Happy Wheels accepted into the Apple App Store. Segway guy is probably the most tame and easy to control of all the initial characters. Seeing irresponsible dad and his son explode as they are crushed under a van isn't the first thing I wanted the people responsible for judging the game to see. User levels introduce a huge risk where someone could release a level that violates some of Apple's guidelines and immediately get us taken down. This has never been a problem on the internet, where I can apparently put whatever the hell I want into the game.
Now that the game is in the store, and things like Mortal Kombat X exist, I think it's safe for us to slowly introduce the rest of the game. I know there are a lot of new casual players who have never seen the game before, and I'd like them all to know, preferably as soon as possible, that there is a lot more that they haven't seen. There will be a user level browser, and we will release "featured" levels for other characters as soon as we have some quality stuff.
As for the android version, we're very aware, especially after these last 24 hours, that there is a high demand. We're working on it. I can't even play the mobile game on my own phone until this happens, so I'm looking forward to it as well.

30 in 30: Can No. 22 Lead Syracuse to Final Four?
by Matt Forman | LaxMagazine.com | Twitter
|JoJo Marasco worked on his game
this offseason by playing box games in Canada and getting in prime
physical shape. "I've gone out of my way to make myself the best
player I can be," he said.
© Greg Wall
While the lacrosse landscape's chatter concentrates on a certain left-handed attackman from New York who might end up at Syracuse — again, this is nothing more than speculation for North Carolina transfer Nicky Galasso's destination — LaxMagazine.com caught up with another left-hander from the Empire State who already plays for the Orange: JoJo Marasco.
Syracuse played its annual Orange Alumni Classic on Saturday in the Carrier Dome, and though Marasco was held scoreless, the caretaker for iconic No. 22 figures to be the focal point of the team's offense.
LaxMagazine.com's interview touched on Deuces, Syracuse's progress in the fall, the impact of the new rules, Marasco's summer spent playing box lacrosse and expectations for Marasco's senior season. (On Monday, Marasco was announced as one of five Syracuse captains.)
Can Marasco lead Syracuse back to the final four? The transcript...
How have things gone in the fall?
It's been a pretty good experience so far. We've been playing for a couple weeks now, and the team looks good. We return a lot of players, especially on our defense, so we're pretty pumped about that. We've been working on a lot of things with the new rules. The game is always looking forward, and I think it's going to be a lot more exciting with all these new sideline rules, balls behind the net, the shot clock. We're all pretty excited about that, and we've been working well with them. Learning the new rules each day has been somewhat difficult, but the coaches are working really hard and putting together some great drills for us.
What have you seen as the biggest impact of the new
rules? We all know how Syracuse wants to play.
For the past couple years, we've been playing against a lot of teams who took the air out of the ball against us. There was a lot of stalling, stall calls. It's a great feeling when we step out in practice, especially when we do scrimmages, to pick up the ball right when it goes out of bounds and right away go with the quick whistles. The game feels so much faster. It feels like how lacrosse is supposed to be played, and how it was before. It's exciting.
So you've noticed a visible difference in the
The tempo and the speed have definitely changed. If you make the wrong mistake, and some of these middies don't want to get back and play defense, you can have a fast break on almost every clear. You've got to be a lot smarter about it. We're definitely going to have to watch a lot more film on each team, because they're going to have a lot of different plays on the clears, just from the sheer number of 6-on-5 and 5-on-4 opportunities you will get with turnovers, and you're able to pick it up and go. You're going to see more highlight goals, and that's something I'm looking forward to seeing.
What's been the focus this fall offensively, aside from
the rules stuff? You lose three of your top six scorers in Tommy
Palasek, Tim Desko and Bobby Eilers.
Those seniors last year were great for us, and they stepped up as seniors and scored some big points. But we return some guys who were real young last year as freshmen, like Hakeem Lecky and Henry Schoonmaker. They've come back in even better shape, knowing the game and being even smarter. They're going to step up in the midfield. Attack-wise, we've got some guys coming back too. Kevin Rice saw the field last year, and Billy Ward is a guy who works harder than anyone on the field. He's playing really well so far. We've got some guys who are making strides and filling the spots, trying to help out Derek Maltz as much as possible, because he's one of the best finishers in the game. We're working real well, and the coaches are working hard with us, just trying to get these guys comfortable playing new positions.
Has anyone specifically stood out to you?
Luke Cometti has really stepped up as a senior. He transferred from Albany, and last year he was hurt all fall, so it was tough for him to get into the mold. He had some big goals for us last year toward the end of the season, but I really think he's going to have a breakout year. He's working so hard. He's stepping up as a leader.
Also Derek Maltz. The guy is unbelievable with his hands. He knows the game so well. And he has been stepping up big-time.
Mikey Daniello is looking great this fall. He's coming from a different school, so it's going to take some time for him to get used to it. But he fits real well in this Syracuse offense. He's a good dodger. He's really working on his right hand. He can get up top lefty, he can shoot the ball, and he's smart. He's been fun to watch.
So there's a lot of weapons to replace the departed
Absolutely. This year, midfield-wise, we have a lot of speed, which is really going to help us with these new rules. We have some finishers on attack now who are pretty crafty and pretty smart with the ball too. I'm excited about that. I don't really see it being a big problem, especially with our defense, with the way we basically return everyone. Their such a powerhouse, that it'll be helpful for our offense.

You're mostly running with the midfield at this point?
Did you expect to bump down to attack?
Yeah, I've been running midfield so far this fall. I've always been a guy who will try to step up and play wherever the coaches want to put me, and when I get out on the field I'll do my best. I definitely thought I was going to see some time at attack, being a senior and having played there as a sophomore. But it's going well. The coaches have their game plan, and I'm trying to follow what they want. Right now I'm playing mostly midfield. I played there all last year too, so I'm starting to get the hang of it. I pride myself on knowing every part of the game, know the game as well as I can.
I'm learning more and more things as a midfielder now that I didn't know last year. Each year, you pick up on little things, just from watching game tape or watching other players play. I've learned a lot. I'm just trying to work as much as I can to learn more with coach Desko and coach Donahue.
What are those little things you've
The game has changed so much now. All of last year, I had the pole covering me most of the games. Now, teams have these crazy slide packages, where they are sliding so early. I'm trying to be smarter with moving the ball behind, working on my re-dodges, and following the ball if one of the other middies I'm working with is dodging. Running the offense as much as I can.
I also learned a lot playing box lacrosse this summer, learning when is the right time to make the cut on dodges, and looking for feeds.
Even if you spend a lot of time out top, you'll also
invert and go behind?
The coaches definitely feel comfortable with me going behind. Playing since freshman year, I've gotten to learn the offenses from behind and up top. I feel comfortable in both places. They definitely know that I really enjoy being behind, and they've been working on some inverts for me. We've been doing that for the past three years, and it has been successful. So I'm going to keep working on that, as well as my dodging and my feeding.
Your most preferred role is to be behind? That's where
you're most comfortable?
I played all through high school behind, and I've gotten the chance to play behind some at Syracuse. It's nice being there, running the offense, and seeing where everyone is on the field. But I'm also really starting to like dodging from the wing, and it's feeling a lot more comfortable now.
You played Junior A box lacrosse this summer for the
Toronto Beaches? How did you get involved in that?
Since freshman year, it has always been an idea. Canada is only about two-and-a-half hours from Syracuse. So it had always been an idea to spend a summer there. You hear all these stories about Canadians playing box lacrosse, and how much it has made their game improve. The same thing with Americans who got an opportunity to play up there, they came back and the next year had success. It had always been in my head since freshman year, but it just didn't work out until my junior year summer.
I was lucky enough to be taking a biology course up in Syracuse for the summer. I got in touch with Regy Thorpe and Gary Gait, and they helped me get in touch with Toronto. I can't say enough about that organization. They were so nice to me, and I had a great experience. I had a great opportunity to improve my game, and I got to play some of the best box players this summer.
More specifically, what'd you learn from the
Merrick Thomson was the offensive coach for me, and he had such a great career at Albany and in box. He kind of took me in stride, and he used my athletic ability in the box. He helped me a lot with how to set a pick, and rolling off the pick. It helps you so much. Everything is so close, and so in tight, that you've got to have those soft hands. You've got to be smart with the ball. That helped me get the ball out of my stick faster, and play a lot smarter by understanding what's around you on the field. Also, it has helped me with my in-close shooting. When you're shooting on that little net with that big goalie, it helps you become a little craftier.
Did you get this idea from anyone in
The whole idea first came from talking to Joel White and Tommy Guadagnolo, who went up and played in Canada after my freshman year at Syracuse. They played for Six Nations. I could even tell, from freshman year to sophomore year, how much their stick skills became. They became smarter on the field, and more well-rounded players. I wanted to get the same opportunity and take advantage of it. So those guys spoke to me about it. They said, 'It's definitely going to help your game.' And I've already seen improvements.
You traveled up there on the weekends then?
I was taking biology at Syracuse, so I ended up driving up to Toronto every weekend and playing three games. I had a great experience up there. They had a place for me to stay. It was a great opportunity to get out of Syracuse for a little bit and play some lacrosse, which I love to do. I can't say enough. The organization and the people at Toronto were amazing.
Keeper of the 22
Syracuse legends through the years
Gary Gait (1988-90)
What was the craziest place you played?
Playing in those barns, as they basically call them, or arenas, it's so hot in them. It's definitely a different level of lacrosse. The craziest one was playing in Six Nations. Their fans are so loyal. They had the most fans at the game, and they were so talented this year. To see their level of skill was amazing. You hear about these big-name guys playing up there, and to get a chance to play against them was pretty cool.
What goals have you set for yourself, individually and
as a team?
The biggest thing in my head since freshman year: a national championship. I've been here three years now, and we've had three disappointing losses in the playoffs. My one goal is to get to the final four. That's got to be a big goal for us as seniors. It always has been, and it would mean a lot for the Syracuse community and everyone who takes pride in cheering for us and supporting us. Hopefully we could pull out a national championship. That would be huge, for my senior year.
Individually, I want to cut down on my turnovers. I want to become a smarter player. I want to do whatever I can for the team. I want to be a big player for Syracuse. I want to have big goals in big games.
Have you set any goals for yourself as far as points,
goals or assists?
You always have those. But you keep those to yourself. Honestly, right now, I just want to step up in big moments to score that goal, or make that pass when the team needs it. I want to be part of that answer on the field. I want to be that guy the coaches trust in key moments. I want to step up when my team needs me.
If this senior class doesn't reach the final four, it'll
be the first time that has happened for a group since 1979. And if
it doesn't win a national title, it'll be the first time since
1999. Does that eat at you and motivate you?
Definitely. We have some guys who have been through it all, who have really fought. I haven't seen a group of guys who has worked harder. We've had a great opportunity the past couple years to make it to the final four, and in a couple cases one-goal games just didn't go our way. To have one more opportunity, I'm pretty lucky to have that. We've been working so hard so far. I definitely see us being there. We need to have the mindset that we deserve to be there. We have the opportunity to do it.
Wearing No. 22 and carrying on its legacy, does that
have a weightier importance now that you're a senior?
Definitely. You take that on when you have the opportunity to wear the jersey. It has been a great experience for me. It's a very difficult task. But I definitely feel the weight that I need to become an even better player this year, and that's why I've gone out of my way to make myself the best player I can be, by playing box lacrosse in Canada and doing whatever I can in the weight room, and getting into the best shape I could.
Wearing 22 is a lot of pressure. But you've got to put that to the side and play your game, and be the guy who got you to Syracuse every time you step on the field.
How do you do that?
It's mental. I have some real close people that I speak to every night before games. They've been there with me through thick and thin, getting me through wearing 22 and playing at Syracuse, and getting an opportunity to play on the same field as all these great players, like Mikey Powell and Gary Gait. They've always been there to talk to me and help me out.
When you step on the field, all you have to worry about is the game plan you came in with, with the coaches, and your style of play. All you can do is just play your game. That's all I've been doing, and it's worked out pretty well so far.
Who do you talk to before games?
The biggest one is definitely Paul Carcaterra. He has been my trainer since I first started playing lacrosse. He played at Syracuse, so he's an alumnus. He has been so good to me throughout my life and career. He's kind of like an older brother or father figure to me. I always speak to him before games, get my game plan set on how I want to play when I step on the field, put everything otherwise out of my head.
I always speak to my parents too. They know me better than anyone. They help calm me down before the game.
And one other guy, he's been one of my best friends
since I was younger, P.K. Kim. He's been a great guy to me, and a
very close friend.
I can't say enough about that core group of four people. They've been so amazing to me. If it wasn't for them, I don't think I would be where I am today. They've helped me so much throughout my career. I'm thankful they'll be here for my senior year.
In an ideal world, if we were to talk in May, what would
we be talking up?
Hopefully I'd be holding up the national championship trophy with my teammates, and we'd be talking about giving back to the Syracuse community, because I couldn't be a happier person.

Back in January, eMarketer predicted that businesses would invest a total of $118.4 billion in content, video and social media marketing in 2013. It's no surprise when you consider just how many people are visiting the major social networks. Facebook is now racking up around 750 million unique visits a month and Twitter is seeing 250 million unique visits.
But the split of this spend is heavily weighted towards B2C brands. And while social networks have traditionally been seen as the preserve of B2C businesses, there are untold opportunities for social media in B2B. Businesses which are themselves trying to influence business decision-makers.
Go where the people are and give them a reason to engage
The marketing mantra – go where your audience is – isn't just for B2C brands. Business leaders are people too. They use social networks, comment on posts and share interesting content. And really, that is the key. B2B brands can use (and have used) social media to attract people's attention. Maybe they've told a story, or set a challenge to overcome.
With social media, a whole world of engaging content is open to B2B companies. It's not just about cold calling and promotional leaflets anymore. There are dozens of B2B businesses, large and small, that are excelling at social media marketing. To be successful, each one has had to plan every campaign thoroughly. What would a win look like? Did they have the resources to create and run the best campaign possible, and to deal with a spike in site traffic or new business?
These are just some of the questions that need answers before a business launches a social campaign, because if it strikes a chord, the results can be mind-blowing.
Using social media for product launches
Cisco has been using social media to launch products since around 2007, but it was only in 2010, when it launched a new router via social media channels alone, that it had the stats to back up its instincts.It held the main launch event in Second Life, even holding a pre-event Second Life concert featuring eight bands.
More than 20,000 network engineers played a specially designed 3D game, the winner receiving $10,000 and – of course – a Cisco router. Cisco also used Facebook, YouTube and video conferencing as part of the integrated launch campaign. Nine thousand people attended the launch events, and the company generated more than 1000 blog posts.
Using social media to build a community
American Express uses its OPEN Forum to communicate with business owners. Its Ideas hub offers people a way to share insight and to network – like its own mini business social network. Its CEO BootCamp for women is promoted through the site, with a hashtag for people to follow who can't make the event, or to use to discuss experiences during it.
With OPEN Forum, American Express is creating a community around its brand and facilitating networking opportunities – tying the brand even closer to the business community.
Using social media to show what you can do
UberFlip creates content creation tools for marketers. It needs to show what the product could do, what it looked like in action, rather than simply tell its prospective clients. With this in mind, UberFlip created a short video infographic on how video is being used for marketing in 2013.
It's had just over 4,500 views, and driven an 800% increase in traffic to the business' blog.
Using social media to complement offline campaigns
Back in 2012, Adobe created a scavenger hunt around San Francisco to promote the launch of its Creative Cloud and Creative Suite 6. It used Twitter, Foursquare and Instagram to share hints and provide clues to help in the hunt.
Adobe's hunt resulted in 83,000 conversations on social media in the first five days of the hunt and more than 3,800 Twitter conversations tagged #CreateNow.
Using social gaming to drive sales
When network security provider, SonicWALL, wanted to reach C-level executives, it listened to the research. An independent report discovered that the higher your status in an organisation, the more likely you are to play online games during office hours.
The higher your status in an organisation, the more likely you are to play online games during office hours.
SonicWALL developed a branded game for executives to play, which challenged them to defend their computer network against attack. Eventually, the game would simply become too hard and the player would fail.
Players were able to share their high scores, encouraging others to play the game. The clever campaign ended up generating more than $1 million in sales. Whether it's social media, or social gaming, anything that encourages people to share your content with their network will be a boost to your brand.
Using social media to drive site visitors
Supply chain management company, Kinaxis, launch a social video campaign to double traffic to its site and new business leads. It created a story, a comedy series called Suitemates, and posted episodes of the tale throughout 2010.
By developing an entertaining campaign, the brand exceeded its goal. Traffic to the website almost tripled and new business leads more than tripled. B2B brands can achieve a significant return on investment when they use social media to promote products and services. Just know what your goals are before you launch that campaign, or start that Facebook page. Then you can figure out the best way to achieve them.

Adams carries Lumberjacks past TV
MILL CREEK – Michael Adams rushed 278 yards and scored four touchdowns to power Richwood to a 48-19 victory over Tygarts Valley Friday night in front of the Homecoming crowd at Bulldog Field.
The Lumberjacks (2-5) held a 22-13 lead at halftime before taking control in the second half.
Logan Cox added a touchdown pass and Johnny Clevenger a 74-yard run for Richwood, which piled up 401 yards rushing on the evening.
Owen Arbogast hit Keighan Chewning for a pair of scores for Tygarts Valley. Derrick Villarico added a 65-yard interception return.
The Bulldogs (0-6) will remain home next Friday to face Pocahontas County for a Potomac Valley Conference contest.

Natural High
A veteran of fusion groups like Chick Corea's Elecktric Band and Vital Information, guitarist Frank Gambale leaves the electricity and effects pedals behind on Natural High. The album marks his first recording exclusively on acoustic guitar, accompanied only by pianist Otmaro Ruiz and bassist Alain Caron. Percussionist Mike Shapiro joins the trio on four of the nine tracks. Even in a seemingly relaxed setting, Gambale still unleashes torrents of notes with machine-gun speed. What makes it more interesting is that Ruiz or Caron frequently double his melody along with ease.
Four tracks are jazz standards with new melodies affixed. "All the Things You Are" becomes "You Are All the Things," starting the album off in somewhat familiar territory while simultaneously giving it a new lease on life. "Fortune," based on Miles Davis' "Four," starts with a unison intro by bass and piano, climaxing with vicious trading of eights and fours between Gambale and Ruiz. Most amusing is "Have You Met Tom Jones," where the Welsh singer replaces "Miss Jones" and "It's Not Unusual" is referenced in the intro and outro.
While Natural High can often sound purely like a demonstration of technical facility, these moments are balanced by Gambale's engaging writing (the Latin "D's Living Room") or Caron's funky groundwork ("Another Challenger").

Changing Your License in Israel Will Be A Little Easier
Changing your driver's license in Israel may get a little easier, thanks to efforts by U.S.-born Yesh Atid MK Dov Lipman.
The immigrant lawmaker has been pushing to do away with the red tape that typically snarls efforts by new immigrants to acquire an Israeli driver's license after years of driving in their countries of origin.
Lipman is advocating for an automatic transfer from a driver's license abroad to an Israeli license. But failing that, he was willing to praise a first move by the Committee for Absorption and Immigration, chaired by fellow Yesh Atid MK Yoel Razbozov.
The committee approved a decision not to require new immigrants to take a theory test in Hebrew if they fail the practical driving exam twice when fulfilling the requirement for transferring their driver's license.
In addition, immigrants who serve in the IDF will have additional time to transfer their license – time served in the military will not be counted against the three-year mandatory limit (from time of immigration to Israel) for transferring one's driver's license from abroad.Jewish Press News Briefs

Fishing for Snakeheads and other trips
By SChaconas - Published December 21, 2011 - Viewed 4457 times
Guiding is in full swing…I am fishing 5 days a week…taking weekends to catch up, fix stuff and work on my boat. I had electronics trouble. Had to remove software and data from my units and download software. Then reboot and load another software package. Then reload all of my waypoints…we'll see if that works!
I had an interesting fishing trip with John Odenkirk, biologist with Virginia's Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. Very cool! Went snakehead fishing and took along friend and outdoors writer King Montgomery. We had a blast. King is a great Potomac River bass fishing historian and has great stories. John knows snakeheads! We landed two of them and one was a tagged fish released in March of this year. It had grown 35mm!!! (1.4 inches!) They eat everything, but I use hollow frogs! I take Mann's Super frog in black and replace the skirt with a black/blue lumaflex skirt. More lively! A stout Quantum flipping stick and 65 pound braid and I launch this frog along pads as the tide falls. Snakeheads are vicious! They smash and thrash! Water goes everywhere! We netted them, measured, tagged and released for John's studies. This creek is Little Hunting. I have fished this creek since 1967. I know it like the back of my hand and with John's help, we picked spots where my knowledge of the creek and his of the snakehead's preferred locations put us on them! We saw a bunch! We chose low tide to force fish into areas in front of pad edges where we could have more contact with them. We are going to do this again soon…stay tuned!
I've been picking up old Lew's casting reels. I love them for cranking in cold weather as they are slow, but without infinite anti-reverse, allow me to feel everything, cover and fish! They are awesome but have been out of production for 20 years. I picked up 4 good ones and a parts reel from one guy. Another gave me two and some spare parts. This should last me a long while since I only use them November-April. I'll have time this winter to tear them down, replace bushings with bearings and a general clean up!
I've been working on articles for the BoatUS ANGLER Tacklebox eNewsletter. I'll have a piece on pouring your own soft plastic baits. I tried this and it works! My baits look just like originals! My colors! I even make Senkos! They're awesome! I'll also be coming out with a DIY piece on making rod sleeves, very popular now as they provide some rod protection, but mainly keep rods from getting tangled in rod boxes, trucks and for back boat anglers.
I had nice trips with parents and children. Father and 19-year-old daughter. Mother and 10-year-old son, father and 25-year-old son. It's really cool to be a part of their memories. My new iPhone allows me to shoot pics; send them out, post on FB and use in my weekly fishing reports for ComcastSports.com
One of my more interesting trips was with a psychiatrist. We were fishing near a dock at the Gaylord hotel and a guy was leaning over watching us for a while when he said that watching us fish reminded him of when he was a kid and fished with his mother. I told him to be careful that there was a psychiatrist on my boat. The "Doc" said it was too late, that he could evaluate the guy just by the way he was standing.
Until next time, see you on the water. WEAR a PFD! I'm gone fishing.
Capt. Steve Chaconas

What instruments?
A variety of instruments can pay for themselves.Ā Some may be used in medical billing and some may function as screening tests for an additional fee that is not covered by insurance or vision plans.Ā Some instruments can be used with both methods of payment.Ā Here are some to consider:
Projecting gross fees
The first step to determine if a device will pay for itself is to determine how much gross revenue it will produce in your practice.Ā We must analyze how many tests will you do and how much will you be paid for each one.Ā Consider these factors:
Projecting expenses
The next step is to project how much the instrument will cost on a monthly basis.Ā Consider these points:
Resultant cash flow
Simply deduct the projected annual expense of the instrument from the projected annual gross income determined above and you have the profit you will generate in the first year.Ā Any profit at all is a good thing when you consider that you'll also benefit from the additional clinical data and the public relations value of the wow factor.Ā I'd buy the instrument even if it were a break even scenario in the first year because usage will often increase in subsequent years because having the advanced technology often leads to diagnosing more cases.Ā And don't forget that the monthly payment is typically for three to five years and after the instrument is paid for, the entire gross income becomes profit.
Tax incentives
In the United States, the IRS continues to provide strong income tax benefits for business owners who invest in capital equipment such as diagnostic instruments.Ā Section 179 of the tax code allows a business to deduct the full amount paid for the device in the year it is purchased.Ā Rather than having to depreciate the cost of the machine over seven years, you may take it as an expense all at once.Ā This deduction converts to a discount of an amount equal to your tax bracket.Ā If you are in the 35% tax bracket, a $60,000 instrument would actually cost $39,000.Ā I don't actually work this tax savings into the projection calculations, but I view it as a very nice bonus.

Keep your fluid and gel always within reach. Grab the Nathan Quickdraw Plus with a 22 oz bottle and zipper pocket for nutrition and get on the move!
Comments: I'm satisfied with the size of the pocket, which seems to be the primary upgrade of the 2012 model to previous ones. It definitely fits an Iphone as advertised. I can even fully squeeze my Galaxy Nexus (with 4.6 inch screen)
to the pocket. I think this might be the only handheld bottle with pocket of this size.
From: Yu, College, PA, USA
Comments: Love the Plus! One of my frustrations with the original is that the pocket is not large enough for my smartphone. Love that this holds it no problem!
From: Jenny, Dallas, TX

Cell phone dealers are sprouting like mushrooms in our malls. I snapped this picture while doing my shopping rounds last Sunday with my hubby and the kids. Noticed the old model Nokia Phones? The store is mobile phone recycling shop where they will buy your unwanted old phones for a considerable amount. They also accept trade-in scheme where you will just add a certain amount from your old phone to get a new one. Isn't it great?

To paraphrase singer Neil Young: "We've seen the tweezers and the damage done."
And it's a sad sight. If there's one fashion faux pas that's almost impossible to undo, it is the dire mistake of over-tweezing one's eyebrows. Shaving or waxing off brows may be even more damaging, resulting in follicles that never regenerate normal brow hairs.
Most of us, especially when we are young and fashion-fearless, don't worry much about this. If the Look of the Moment calls for pencil-thin brows, we'll tweeze or wax away with a Scarlett O'Hara-like indifference to consequences.
But times change. Fashion moves on; more defined brows return. You get tired of drawing on your eyebrows every day, and you decide to let them grow out.
Then you discover to your horror that it is too late. That straggling line of hairs etched above your eyes is all you will ever have. And you don't want to go through life looking like Joan Crawford, with horribly fake penciled-on Nike swooshes for brows.
Then there is the opposite problem: You have eyebrows. In fact, you have eyebrows that resemble woolly caterpillars.
In short, you have too much of a good thing, and you don't know what to do to get the soignee brow look you crave. You could begin tweezing away, of course, but what if you miscalculate, overdo and end up ruining your brows like Exhibit A? And you have no idea where to start looking for help.
We have heard a lot recently from readers seeking professional guidance with their eyebrows. Here, we'll try to steer you toward making the most of what you've got and maintaining the perfect brow look once you achieve it.
It used to be that eyebrow shaping was pretty much a do-it-yourself proposition. Women who spent $15 every week on a manicure would never think of spending $15 monthly to have their brows shaped.
But in the last few years, all that has changed.
Makeup artists and fashion editors suddenly discovered that the beautiful brow was So Now. An elegant brow has an amazingly restorative power on any woman's face: It is almost like getting an instant eye lift.
As the classically arched brow became a must-have look, demand grew for experts who could wield the tweezers with a discerning hand and eye, meticulously tailoring arch and color to each client's facial structure. New York and Los Angeles salons, as usual, led the way.
Other cities are beginning to catch up. Many full-service salons have at least one stylist who is a part-time specialist in brow waxing and shaping. If you patronize a salon regularly, ask the manager if brow shaping is offered. If the answer is yes, proceed - but with caution.
Look at the stylist's brows and ask whether she shapes her own. Ask to see Polaroids of previously tweezed clients, if possible. Take in a magazine photo or ad showing a model or actress whose brows you admire and ask whether that style would work for your face.
Don't automatically go with brow-waxing unless you are willing to take a chance, slight as it may be, that you may lose a bit more eyebrow than you bargained for. Waxing requires the surest of hands for application, and once it is done, the brow may or may not grow back in as before.
Tweezing is slower, more labor-intensive and (depending on your pain threshold) a bit more ouchy. But it also is easier to control and to monitor progress as the stylist works.
Never experiment with a new brow stylist or an untried method just before your wedding or any other major event. In other words: Apply the same rules of common sense as you would to finding a new hairstylist. Play it safe until you find the right expert. Then you can either continue to visit for regular maintenance or learn to maintain the look yourself.
Great celebrity brows of the moment include stars such as Lara Flynn Boyle, Cindy Crawford, Oprah Winfrey, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Karen Duffy, Penelope Cruz, Sharon Stone, Janine Turner, Ashley Judd and Julia Roberts.
Compared with some of them, actress Gina Gershon might not be as famous. But her sultry eyebrows help make her face one that's hard to forget, and her brow look is one that many want to copy. Her brow styling is the product of Los Angeles stylist Robyn Cosio, who has a Melrose Place salon and also works out of the Peter Coppola Salon in Manhattan one week each month. Last year Cosio wrote a definitive book on her subject, ``The Eyebrow" (ReganBooks; $30). Her other celeb clients include Jamie Lee Curtis, Laura San Giacomo and Joan Chen.
Anastasia Soare does the brows of Chloe Sevigny, Renee Zellweger, Garcelle Beauvais, Jennifer Lopez, Naomi Campbell and Julianna Margulies.
Beverly Hills brow stylist Valerie Sarnelle does Halle Berry, Nicole Kidman, Heather Locklear and Goldie Hawn. Her catalog of brow and cosmetic products is available by calling 1-800-282-5374 (toll free).
Interested in getting a reservation with one of these arch rivals next time you're on the Left Coast? Just call ahead for an appointment - and prepare to pay $40 to $50 for the privilege of being tweezed by the star stylists (their staff members, however, charge less).

What do you need to get going properly on caring for your own brows?
The most basic tool, of course, is a good pair of tweezers - preferably not the $3 drugstore variety. A pair of professional-quality Tweezerman slant-tipped steel tweezers is $17.99 at local Sally Beauty Supply stores. Although Tweezermans are more expensive than the drugstore brand, they seem to get a better grasp on stubborn hairs - and you can even mail the tweezers back to the company to be resharpened, if necessary, as they have a lifetime guarantee.
Want to go another step up? Try Anastasia's special $22.50 pink tweezers, also made in a sharp, slant-tipped steel, but specially manufactured for her in Italy. They do a stellar job of grasping, too. "Don't drop them," Anastasia warns, or that sharp edge will quickly be damaged. Don't apply moisturizer before you tweeze. Also, don't fail to gently clean and dry the tweezer's tips - never leave them wet.
If your skin or facial nerves are extra sensitive or need extra soothing, you might want to try Anastasia's Pre-Tweeze Gel ($25) and After-Tweeze Cream ($35). A lot of women, of course, simply steam open their pores with a hot washcloth before tweezing, or tweeze right after a warm shower.
Women with overplucked, pale or thin brows might want to try eyebrow stencils, an old idea that's new again. The Precision Brow Shaping Set ($36) from Poetic Cosmetics (a spinoff of the Bliss Spa) includes stick-on stencils in three sizes, plus three shades of powder, a dual-tip applicator brush and brow-setting gel. Stencils can also be used in tandem with a tinted pomade and powder to achieve a more natural look than a pencil alone can give. It may take some practice to get this right at home, even after a professional demonstration.
A pencil is good for darker brows that simply need a bit of filling in, rather than adding volume with powder. Brow gel (applied with a mascara-type wand) helps keep wayward brows under control. Sephora is another good brow makeup and tool source.
A brow brush or comb is great for grooming and cleaning away dead skin that can get trapped under thicker brows. Brow scissors (or nail scissors) can be used for judicious trimming of too-long hairs that stick up above the brow line. And a white pencil (available at any drugstore cosmetics counter) can help you shape the outline of your brows before you tweeze, acting as a guide that, for some, might be easier to manage than a stencil.
For guidance, check out Robyn Cosio's lavish book, "The Eyebrow." It's replete with dozens of celebrity photos, a history of eyebrow trends and advice on creating the right look for yourself. For a paperback alternative guide that is chock-full of practical words and diagrams on the subject of shaping and maintaining eyebrows, try "Beautiful Brows" by Nancy Parker and Nancy Kalish (Three Rivers Press; $7.99).

Meanwhile, drain the apricots. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and muscovado sugar until fluffy. Mix in the apricots, flour, raisins, walnuts and orange zest.
Turn the risen dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to a rectangle, about 25 x 33cm. Evenly spread over the apricot mix, then roll out the marzipan and lay it on top. Roll up the rectangle tightly so it looks like a Swiss roll. Roll slightly, then cut lengthways along the roll, leaving 1 end joined. Twist 2 lengths together, then shape into a ring on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment. Set aside to rise for 1 hr.
Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake the twist for 30 mins until risen and dark golden. Towards the end of the baking time, gently warm the apricot jam in a small pan. Brush the freshly baked loaf with the warm jam to glaze it, then set it aside to cool. Once cooled, drizzle the twist heavily with the runny icing.

I made this yesterday following the recipe in Paul's book 'How to Bake'. It differs slightly to the recipe above, I followed it to the letter and it turned out lovely. I always leave my bread to rise for a couple of hours at least, and I found the dough an easy and beautiful soft one to roll. Once assembled I prove on the kitchen table with an food umbrella over the baking tray and cover the umbrella with a couple of clean tea towels. It works just as a plastic bag would but without the possibility of the dough sticking to the bag ( which is how I came about this alternative idea!) It is a centrepiece thats for sure, but very sweet and shared it out amongst friends and family. x
I just made this recipe, and it spread out all over the place! It looks like a couronne pancake! lol. Paul Hollywoods recipes says 5g of salt in the dough, 135ml of milk, not 150, and 1 medium egg, not large. I have his book, so maybe should have followed his recipe from the start! I'm sure this one tastes lovely, but its not very attractive *sad Ruby from GBBO face* :o)
This is absolutely delicious - yes it's sweet but you don't need to have too much. The dough was fine as I kneaded it in my Kenwood mixer and the filling was easy to make but when I shaped the couronne the filling was exposed so when it baked it seeped out quite a lot and made it sticky. I'm also not very good at the shaping part so it looked pretty messy!! I'd definitely make it again as it's so delish but would make two individual rolls and seal the filling in, then twist together.
I made two versions of this recipe and both were highly successful. One was made with Kamut flour which people with a wheat/gluten intolerance can often eat. Kamut flour does have some gluten in it, which you need for a good bread dough. This is a suburb recipe and will replace the Stollen I usually make. Just a tip for those who said the basic dough was sticky. Knead it more! Use a machine with a dough hook and give it the full 6 mins. Look for the gluten strands , then you'll get a soft but wonderfully elastic dough.
I made this today. Changed a little of the recipe. I used Sultanas and currants instead of the Apricot and didn't soak them and added mixed spice, cinnamon and nutmeg and a little orange juice.
The dough is very sticky as Paul says it should be. Had fun fighting with it at first !!!! but eventually it kneads into a lovely dough. The rise was amazing.
I glazed it with 2 tbsp milk & 2 tbsp castor sugar brought to the boil and simmered for 2 mins and brushed over and then sprinkled with icing sugar.
it was very tasty and moorish.
How long does it keep for?
I am puzzled by the requirement for 10g of yeast - what I would term Fast Action yeast comes in 7g packets so I didn't know if you were expected to use one and bit packets. The other type of dried yeast comes in tins and requires activating before use so I didn't think that was the right type.
I'm actually making a version of this now but using Delia's recipe for Stollen as the bread part as I know that recipe works!
I'm also making it in two halves as I want to try one today and keep the other for an event tomorrow.
And I'm too tight to buy a whole jar of Apricot Jam for the glaze so I'm going to try it with lemon marmalade....
You could say I'm not really following the recipe at all but instead using it for inspiration!
I agree it is a rather wet and sticky dough. I didn't add any more flour as I remember Paul Hollywood getting annoyed with people not following his recipes on the Great British Bake Off. I cheated a bit and stuck the dough ingredients in the bread maker machine on the dough setting then rolled it out gently between two pieces of clingfilm to avoid a mess. Looked quite impressive but only three stars on the rating as it is very sweet and rich, now I like such things but even so, think christmas pudding. I certainly wouldn't want it for breakfast!
I made this recipe on Sunday as always like a challenge and wanted to take it a present into work. I make my own bread every week so used to the kneading side of things. The dough was sticky but I thought it was because of the addition of milk rather than water, I added slightly more flour when kneading and it was fine. Finish was fine and it double in size whilst in the oven. Didn't last long at work, the taste was amazing!
Hello again. I've just made it, I added quite a bit extra flour to it as I was kneading - it was very sticky as you had described Wendy (I did it for 6 mins as recipe suggested). I left it to rise for more than an hour while I popped to a pre school nativity, and it was at least double the size when I got back. It looks lovely and I cant wait to tuck in. Still none the wiser on the freezing side of things though :-(
Wendy, I haven't tried this recipe yet but it sounds like you need to knead the dough for longer, I would say about 10 minutes. To test if you have kneaded the dough for long enough, gather it up into a tight ball in one hand and then gently push a finger into the dough, if the dough slowly springs back then itâs done, if the in print of your finger stays then it needs a bit longer. I am going to try making it on the weekend, will let you know how I get on.
I am interested in WendyMay's comment above as I am also about to do a dummy run (I will let you know how it goes Wendy) but my query is regards to the freezing of the Twist.. I want to know at which point you can freeze it? Should it be before or after you have baked it? Also I didnt think you could freeze marzipan, which has therefore added to my confusion! Please advise....!
I am quite new to baking bread, I saw this recipe in the good food magazine and decided to have a go. I thought I would have a dummy run before christmas. The result was - top marks for taste but - nil points for presentation. Fact is - I got in a bit of a âmuddy puddleâ. The problem was - the dough was very sticky, I found it very difficult to handle. I donât think I kneaded properly as it did not rise very well. I left it for over an hour in the airing cupboard so it was in a warm place. Where did I go wrong?
It looks so good in the picture and tasted lovely - I am determined to get it right. Any experts out there HELP please.
