Isn't that Glace apple slice a thing of beauty - I just saw the recipe for it by accident on Pinterest while I was oogling a recipe for something else and I realized I just had to make them - they were surprisingly easy, turned out just beautifully and taste like a slice of toffee apple - YUM. Propping up the glace delight is a delicious Apple and Nut Turnover - equally as good and delicious created from a recipe in Country Harvest by Linda Burgess and Rosamond Richardson - a simply lovely book full of cosy photos and excellently reliable recipes for the Autumn season.
To make your turnovers you'll need to start with making your pastry first as you'll want to bob it in the fridge for at least an hour before you start baking.
Pate Brisee by Martha
This is good for 4 nice sized turnovers - this recipe doubles well.
1 1/4 cups/5ozs of white flour - I also added 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground nutmeg to the flour just for a little extra autumn flavour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 stick/4oz butter I always use salted, VERY cold
1/8 to 1/4 cup ice cold water
1. Sift the flour and add the sugar and blend.
2. Grate the butter into the flour.
3. Gently work butter into flour until it resembles coarse meal or swish in a food processor to achieve the same.
4. Add some of the water and test to see if it comes together, if not keep adding water until the dough will squush into a non-sticky ball.
5. Put into the fridge to rest for at least one hour - or as long as you like.
Whilst the dough is chilling you can make the other component parts:
APPLE CIDER SYRUP - make lots of this it is really good on pretty much ANYTHING!
If you use 8fl ounces of apple cider (that would be juice in England not alcoholic cider) all you have to do is gently boil it down until there is only 4 fl ounces left - that's it! When it cools it will go syrupy - if it doesn't, depending on the water content of your juice, then just simmer it a bit more. Allow to cool.
FILLING FOR TURNOVERS - refer to this chart for the type of apples you want to use - I used Braeburns which turned a nice pink and didn't break down in cooking but if you want more filling in your turnover maybe you'll want to chose an apple that turns mushy.
12ozs of apples chopped into bite sized pieces - about 3 medium sized apples
1oz sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon - I'm not a big cinnamon girl but it seemed right in this recipe and this is a small amount
2oz toasted walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans or almonds chopped - I used walnuts.
1 fl oz/1/8 cup water
1oz butter
4 tablespoons apple cider syrup
1. Cook the apples in the water along with the sugar and cinnamon until mushy if you are using mushy apples or nicely cooked if you are using non mushy, as below:
2. Fold in the nuts and syrup and allow to cool.
2 1/2oz brown sugar
1 1/2 oz butter
2 tablespoons cream or half and half
2 tablespoons cream or half and half
6 tablespoons apple cider syrup
1. Heat sugar, cream and butter together in a small pan until sugar has dissolved and allow to bubble for a minute or so.
2. Add the apple cider syrup and stir - keep warm but not hot.
GLACE APPLE SLICES - wee hee I love these - found the recipe here.
Here's my interpretation: Set oven at 350F and grease a baking sheet lightly with butter.
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of water
1 small apple sliced fine on a mandolin - I think I did my slices much thinner than in the MyRecipes recipe but they worked out well - also they don't mention it's hard to get a whole apple slice the way it looks in their picture - and if you do get a whole slice you aren't getting too many of them because they'll only come from the middle part of the apple - so don't be disappointed if most of your slices are just circles with no character. MyRecipes also didn't mention that you need to use a non mushy making apple as mentioned above so check your apples are sufficiently sturdy :)
1. Bring water and sugar to a boil.
2. Allow to boil gently for a couple of minutes.
3. Add a few apple slices and stir them around gently - watch them go transparent pretty quickly especially so if your slices are as thin as mine.
4. When they are transparent gingerly move them to the baking tray -
- I found tongs were the best way to do this - flatten them out as best you can and bob into the oven for about 5 minutes to start - check how they are if they are starting to go golden they are ready - they actually went white again for me which confused me but when I took them out and put them on a cooling rack they went transparent again. You may have to play with this a little to get them right but you can put them in and out of the oven until they go crisp when cold. DO make sure you take them off the baking tray and put on a cooling rack whilst they are still pretty hot though or they'll stick. Don't throw away the apple simple syrup you have now made - there's always something you can do with it!
Now to assemble your turnovers.
Set your oven to 350F.
You will need one beaten egg yolk.
Take the dough out of the fridge and roll out to a square about 12 x 12" and cut into four even squares:
Bob 2 tablespoons or so of the apple mix onto the square thus:
Dab some of the beaten yolk along the 2 front edges and fold the pastry in half over the filling to form a triangle - press with a fork along the edges to press the top and bottom pastries together - you don't want any gaps or holes of the filling will ooze out whilst cooking. Now wash the top of the turnovers with more egg yolk and a goodly sprinkling of sugar:
|Can you believe how yellow my egg yolk is - it's from Farmetta Farm - best eggs around!
...and into the oven with them for about 20 minutes until golden brown and piping hot.
Allow to cool slightly, cover with the sticky toffee sauce and some of the apple mix if you have any leftover - decorate with a glace apple slice or two and off you go - these are SO GOOD!!!!!
If you make these please feel free to post on my Facebook page - I'd love to hear about it!
Here's an excellent apple usage chart from Pocket Change Gourmet and some more info on apple varieties HERE
Until quite recently I thought all apples were created equal and didn't know you used different varieties for different things - now I know!!

Gold Star Wife to Join White House Dinner
- Details
- Category: News
- Created: Thursday, 01 March 2012 06:15
- Last Updated: Thursday, 01 March 2012 06:15

Kim Felts, of Fayetteville, N.C., will be seated next to the first lady at dinner. Also on the guest list are about 80 Iraq war veterans and their families, and senior defense officials including Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey.
"Those invited include men and women in uniform from all ranks, each U.S. state and territory, and every branch of the armed forces," a White House blog post [ http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2012/02/29/president-obama-honors-iraq-vets-white-house-dinner ] said today. "Together, they are representative of the hundreds of thousands of Americans who served in Iraq."
Felts' husband, Army Col. Thomas H. Felts Sr., was killed Nov. 14, 2006, in Baghdad when an explosive detonated near his vehicle. He was 45 years old.
In an interview today, Felts, a family readiness program specialist for Special Forces Command, noted her appreciation for this high-profile tribute to service members and their families. "Any time we can take that opportunity to thank war heroes and families of the fallen for their sacrifices, we should do it," she said.
Felts' two younger children, Rebekah and Thomas, both high school students, also will attend the dinner tonight. As they prepared to board a bus to the White House, Felts noted their excitement. "They recognize this opportunity and how unique it is," she said.
In an article [ http://www.defense.gov/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=67302 ] earlier this month, Douglas B. Wilson, assistant secretary of defense for public affairs, said the dinner is "the beginning of a thank you."
"In the East Room that night, the idea is that room will look like the America that served on the battlefields of Iraq," he said.

Following on from my other post about Blur, after the closure of Bizarre Creations I wanted to eulogise what is probably my favourite racing game ever – Project Gotham Racing 2. Judging by a lot of the reaction online to the demise of Bizarre, PGR2 was commonly cited as the best of the 4 game Project Gotham series and Metacritic scores agree with that. Comparing between franchises is obviously a much more subjective thing and in racing it often comes down your personal preference between realistic 'simulations' and knockabout 'arcade' fun. With licensed cars and real world cities, all meticulously modelled, the simulation approach would be expected for PGR and indeed there is a lot of nuance built into the game's handling model. The tracks, at times tight and twisty streets, often demand judicious use of the brakes and for some having to pull the left trigger even once is far too 'sim' orientated for them. But since the game is focused on how you drive as well as how fast, it not only allows but positively encourages you to drive in the most fun way you can, even if the wheel-spinning tire-screeching slides of Project Gotham aren't necessarily realistic. What sets the game apart is its finely judged balancing act along the simulation/arcade spectrum. There is depth without the daunting array of options of Gran Turismo and Forza, where endless mechanical tweaking in menus can be used to over come ability gained and learned in the driver's seat. Pick your car from the small selection per event (certainly to begin with) and go.
The Cars
PGR2 still loves its cars every bit as much as those more feted simulation franchises. This is the game that introduced a showroom mode, letting you wander among your collection of gleaming expensive machinery. From here you can test drive any car you happen to be looking at. The game might not get bogged down in the minutiae of having every possible iteration of every model of every car, but it does want you to feel a sense of ownership and it does want the cars to feel real. In any car, in any event, even a test drive, there's a small odometer clearly visible beneath the speedo, totting up every single mile you drive and have ever driven in each car. In your favourites, those quickly add up.
Continue reading Bizarre Creations part 2: Project Gotham Racing 2
(Continuing on from part 1, I'm going to write a brief bit on the other games and demos I tried at the 3DS launch.)
It's become an oft repeated cliche about console launches that there's nothing decent to buy when a platform first comes out. For all the hype and midnight queues, once you've got your hands on the machine there isn't anything worth playing on it until at least six months down the line. Rushed development on unfamiliar hardware in order to meet the strictest of deadlines – it's a formula that's rarely conducive to creating good titles. But the exceptions to this rule of thumb are also notable. The Xbox launched with the original Halo, a title that not only justifed the console's existence but also Microsoft's rather surprising entry into the gaming hardware market. Super Mario 64 was similarly important, a game that felt at home on the N64′s weird tri-prong controller and also showed how Nintendo's mascot could not only remain relevant while moving to 3 dimensions but also still blaze the trail for others to follow. Arguably the most important launch title was Wii Sports, the free pack-in title that for many families was the only reason they ever bought the console and made it into the must-have gadget of the time.
3DS Built In Games
Ok, so perhaps my introduction wasn't fair on the 3DS, building up to it's packaged software by mentioning one of the best-selling games ever. From the looks of things, Face Raiders and AR Games are more like nifty distractions that are fun to show off for a little bit but don't go any deeper. Face Raiders works well as a word-of-mouth demo – once you've taken a photo of someone's face they become enemies for you to shoot at by moving around the 3DS itself, while the level background is whatever the camera is recording in your surroundings. The face-photo is sort of 3D too although it mostly just seemed to be mapped onto a sphere in this game. It was quite fun though and by encouraging you to take photos of new people, it also quietly encourages you to show the console off to more friends – or, alternatively, to start creepily photographing strangers.
AR Games meanwhile makes use of the AR (augmented reality) cards packed in with the console. The game I played (I don't know if there's more than one) had a card lying flat on a table – looking at it through the 3DS camera instead 'revealed' a 3D monster on the desk. You shot at it through cross-hairs on the 3DS display so you had to move yourself in order to adjust your aim and it felt a bit like playing some kind of real-life/virtual hybrid FPS. You could move up to and around the monster from any angle while shifting weak points forced you keep circling to get a shot off. As a game beyond the few minutes I played, it would require more to sustain it – but as a new experience it revealed some of the potential in the hardware. Having the game taking place on the desk made the monster's virtual presence seem very real – which made some of the later effects, when the desktop surface shimmered and warped, even more impressive.
Continue reading 3DS Launch Titles – First Impressions part 2
With the recent and unfortunate news that Activision have closed down Bizarre Creations, now is a good a time as any to look over a couple of their games, starting with the recent Blur.
Closure seems like a strange decision from the point of view of Activision's portfolio – the largest games publisher in the world is left with no developers that have any significant experience of making driving games. EA, their biggest competitor, have an abundance in that particular area while the only remaining quality racing game developers are at Sony, Microsoft, Codemasters and relative newcomers Disney Interactive. Bizarre seem to be suffering the fallout from recent releases that were at best mediocre – The Club and their latest game James Bond 007: Blood Stone both suffered critically and in terms of sales. These two games were also both 3rd person action/shooting titles that were far removed from Bizarre's usual driving or downloadable arcade games. When the studio stuck to what they knew best, as with the recent underrated Blur, they could still produce excellent games.
Blur was sadly overlooked when it came to sales though. New IPs, without a huge marketing spend, tend to struggle these days. The racing genre is much like the sports one – newcomer titles have a doubly difficult time. Creating a straight sim-racer to go up against the big three of Gran Turismo, Forza and Need For Speed would be the same as trying to make a non-licensed football game to compete with FIFA and Pro Evo. One solution to this problem is the route Codemasters have taken – create specialised realistic games that focus on one particular real-world racing code such as the recent F1 2010 or the off-road-centric Dirt series. By releasing games regularly and basing them on their Ego engine, they spread the risk across titles. On the other hand, there's the expense of the license(s) and the work involved in having to realistically model the cars and real-life tracks.

A merchant wife
Some time later, while my husband was attending the Leipzig Fair he fell grievously ill. . . . Judah Berlin, who was likewise at the fair, tended my husband and nursed him with great care. . . . [Berlin] proposed they should enter into partnership. . . . My husband said to him, I cant decide in Leipzig. Im not yet myself, and I fear to remain longer lest, God forbid! I grow worse. Since this is settlement week at the fair and at best little business can be done, I will hire coach and return home. . . . Once home, God willing, we can talk further, and my Glücklechen will be there to give us her sound advice. For my husband did nothing without my knowledge . . .
Since worry and fright always came with my husbands journeys, I was ready to welcome a scheme whereby he could remain at home. So I did not look unfavourably on the partnership with Judah. And he kept at his proposals and offered the most tempting conditions. . . . I spoke now with my husband and told him of our talk, and what great business Judah boasted he would do. Whereupon my blessed husband said to me, Words, my dear child, are all very well, but I have big expenses and I dont see how they will be met by a partnership with Judah. At last I said top my husband, We can try it for a year. I will draw up a little agreement and show it you, and then you tell me what you think of it. So, at night, I set to work by myself and drafted a compact . . .
A disastrous second marriage
The betrothals were concluded in the deepest secrecy. I did not wish them known because of the high tax due to the Town Council on departing for good from the city. It would have cost me several hundred thalers, for I was well known in Hamburg, and every merchant who dealt with me thought I was worth many thousands. . . . My children, my brother and sisters, and all my close friends knew of the marriage. Yet even though I had taken counsel with them and they had all approved of it, still it went awry. . . . When I consented to the match I feared that were I to remain struggling as I was, I should lose all I had and God forbid, suffer the shame of harming others, both Jews and Gentiles, and finally fall to the care of my children. But, alas, I was to fall into the care of a husband, and suffer the very shame I feared. Helpless though I be, he is still my husband, whom I though to live in ease and plenty. And now I find myself in such a state, I wonder whether I should have a roof above my hoary head or a crumb of bread to eat. And my children whom I thought to spare the burden may yet be at pains to take me in. I believed I was marrying a man who with his means and distinguished station could have aided my children and put them in the way of great wealth. But the very contrary happened.

Roache wins 60th Miss Kinston pageant
Two young women emerged as victors Saturday night in a pageant sponsored by the Miss Kinston-Lenoir County Pageant Association.
Juannette Roache, 23, and Chasity Caraway, 16, were named Miss Kinston-Lenoir County 2014 and Miss Kinston-Lenoir County�s Outstanding Teen for 2014, respectively, in the 60th annual program, held at the Grainger Hill Performing Arts Center. Their next step in the franchised preliminary of the Miss America Pageant is the state program in June.
Roache, an Elizabeth State University student whose platform is �Helping Out People Everywhere Program,� said she was excited to get the chance to represent Lenoir County.
�I plan on promoting my platform here in Kinston and working closely with the community,� she said. �I just want to be a leader and role model that people can be inspired by. I�m very humbled and blessed to be given this title and I plan on working very hard to make Kinston proud.�
For her talent, Roache performed a Polynesian dance, which the crowd greeted with a smattering of applause.
In the Miss Kinston-Lenoir County competition, Brittany Thornton, a student at ECU, was first runner-up and also took home the talent award. She also tied with Morgan Sutton for top honors in the swimsuit competition. Tracie Taylor, 17, a student at South Lenoir High School won the Community Service and Congeniality awards.
Caraway, a student at Arendell Parrott Academy, said she was happy to have been selected as Miss Kinston-Lenoir County�s Outstanding Teen.
�I�m very excited to work with Juannette and the community. I�m excited to serve and I�m just ready,� she said.
For her talent, Caraway sang a popular song from the musical �The Phantom of the Opera.�
In the Outstanding Teen contest, Shae Malham, 12, a student at Princeton Middle School, was first runner-up. Kayla Grady, 14, a student at South Lenoir, won the Community Service award and Brianna Bass, 14, a student at Southern Wayne High School captured the congeniality award. In addition to winning the title of Miss Outstanding Teen, Caraway also won the talent and fitness awards.
Connie Dorn Rist, Miss Kinston 1971, Miss N.C. 1972 and First runner up to Miss America 1973, served as the Mistress of Ceremonies for the evening. Maggie Nelms, Miss Kinston-Lenoir County 2013, and Makenzie Sasnett, Miss Kinston-Lenoir County�s Outstanding Teen for 2013, were on hand to crown their respective successors.

I am working across mathematics, physics and engineering. And I am looking for whether there exists already formally established knowledge in the field.
Given a periodic graph (actually a physical lattice or crystal structure), we want to examine some periodic coloring ( or ordered but not periodic coloring) of the graph. This coloring in physics may be considered as filling the lattice site with atoms, ions and so forth. Is there some already formally established mathematical area that deals with the this?
Further, we could construct functions from these kinds of coloring to a real number. ( in physics we associate average energy with the specific structure) and we want to minimize it by searching the periodic or ordered graph space. Is there such a branch in mathematics dealing with this also?
Furthermore, I wish to construct a program to analyze any arbitrary periodic colored graphs (that is to analyze different crystal structure. ) By analyze I mean search the coloring that would give the minimum energy. Is there existing well established knowledge for doing this?
An reduced problem would be is there some established mathematical theorems tackling the coloring of an arbitrary periodic graph, in any possible way?
Thank you very much.

Our wish is for this cache to be visited any time you have kids that have never been geocaching. The chest is full to the brim . We have taken kids here several times , let them find it with our gps , break open the chest and plunder . We combine this with a picnic , rides , playgrounds, and some other easy to reach caches. Much to the parents delight the kids go home exhausted and hit the sack early holding their treasures. We watch this cache frequently, however; if it ever seems anemic or disappointing please email ..we have a lot more to add at any time..and , we do encourage plundering by our little pirate guest. Our other Nemo characters are on back order. The trail to this cache is easy , clear of vegetation and most bugs..however, PLEASE use bug spray for the last 20 ft . If you have photos to share with us we really enjoy them. My little Alexis , 4yo, had her first bunking party a few weeks ago . We took them all to Mass the next morning and then geocaching, picnicing ,etc., ;the parents tell me their kids have never stopped talking about their adventure .

Availability of the Free PSA Ratio Test
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
I recently read an article that states that the free PSA blood test is currently under study. What is the time frame for having this free PSA available to the physicians? What progress are they making?
Thank you
Li Liu, MD, Editorial Assistant for OncoLink, responds:
Dear J,
Thank you for your interest and question.
In order to enhance the sensitivity and specificity of prostate cancer detection and reduce unnecessary biopsies in men with elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, various assays have been established, including PSA density, PSA density of transitional zone, free/total PSA ratio, complexed/total PSA ratio, and PSA velocity. Several studies have demonstrated that the free/total PSA ratio test enhances the clinical usefulness of PSA testing for the early detection of prostate cancer.
Dr. Catalona from Washington University School of Medicine reported that free PSA may identify subgroups of patients with prostate cancer when their PSA values are between 2.52 and 4 ng/ml and digital rectal exam is not suspicious for cancer (Urology, 54(2): 220-224, 1999).
For patients with PSA levels between 4 and 10 ng/ml, percent free PSA also appears to be a strong predictor of postradical prostatectomy pathological outcome. (The Journal of Urology, 162:1346-1351, October 1999). Many physicians have used a cutoff of less than 15% for free PSA clinically as a reference to discriminate the likelihood of malignancy. The Free PSA assay is now available in most of the major medical centers in theUS. However, clinical judgments are made based on the entire scenario rather than one test alone.

Hotel Guyon makes statewide endangered list
Capone-link building in and out of demolition courts for years
West Garfield Park building with a connection to Al Capone may be demolished unless developers can come up with a plan to save the historic Hotel Guyon, 4000 W. Washington Blvd.
Landmarks Illinois last month placed the 10-story hotel on its "Ten Most Endangered" list. The group's annual list notes historic buildings threatened by deterioration, lack of maintenance or inappropriate development. The hotel is one of 10 architecturally significant buildings in Illinois placed on this year's lists.
The building has cycled in and out of demolition court for years for various code violations and has changed ownership just as frequently in several attempts to redevelopment the building.
"This is a building that we had our eyes on for a while," said Lisa DiChiera, Landmarks Illinois' director of advocacy. The nonprofit works to preserve historic places.
"The reason to include a building like this on our endangered list is because it is a very important building," DiChiera added, noting that the hotel has both architectural significance and a very interesting history.
Built in 1928, the 289-room edifice was constructed as residential hotel by architect Jens J. Jensen - not be confused with the landscape architect who designed Garfield Park Conservatory. Big-band promoter J. Louis Guyon commissioned Jensen to design the hotel.
The red trim brick and cream building was designed in the Moorish style and decked out with ornamental terracotta tiles and gargoyles. The hotel included a ballroom and two penthouses, one of which Guyon made his home. Guyon, who also owned the nearby Paradise Ballroom, operated a radio station in the hotel to promote big bands playing at his ballroom.
DiChiera said Jensen took the hotel's design from the "exotica theme" of silent movie palaces of the early 20th century.
"It is definitely one that he wanted to stand out," DiChiera said.
Hotel Guyon stands out for another reason. The same year the hotel opened, police raided the apartment of Capone gunman, Jack McGurn, according to an article on chicagomag.com.
DiChiera noted that massive structure would be a challenge to refurbish. In the 1980s Bethel New Life renovated the hotel into low-income housing. But DiChiera said the "rent didn't cover the annual maintenance cost, and the building continued to deteriorate."
DiChiera hopes that placing the building on its endangered list will help find the right developer with the right financing and the right plan. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is eligible for tax credits to help redevelop it.
"It is not going to be cheap, but it is definitely not a throw-away building," DiChiera said. "This is a building that really needs to find the right owner who has the wherewithal."
Ryan Spokas, a consultant for Hotel Guyon's current owners, is optimistic about the building's future. The owners, Kurzac LLC, acquired the building in 2011.
Spokas believes the owners have "assembled a skilled veteran team of investors, architects, engineers, public and private dollars in order to bring this back to functionally use."
The owners, he added, definitely do not want to see the building demolished, but haven't determined an end use for it. Spokas welcomes Landmarks Illinois designations and hopes it brings further visibility to the project to secure additional public money.
When reached for comment, Ald. Jason C. Ervin (28th) said that his office has been approached by several parties wanting to invest in the building. And while he would like to see the facility "restored to its glory," safety is paramount.
"As potential investors inquire about the property, they also see the condition of a building which has been left vacant for over a decade," Ervin said.
Hotel Guyon is "orange rated" by the city's Commission on Landmarks. While not a city landmark, the rating means the building has some architectural feature and historical association significant to the surrounding the community, said Peter Strazzabosco, spokesperson for the Chicago Department of Housing and Economic Development. A demolition order is automatically delayed on any orange rated building, allowing the city and community stakeholders time to seek alternatives to tearing the building down, Strazzabosco added.

World Briefing | Europe: Germany: Anger Over U.S. Lawmaker's Remark On Schröder
By MARK LANDLER
Published: June 14, 2007
German officials heatedly protested remarks made by Representative Tom Lantos, a Democrat of California who is chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, in which he described former Chancellor Gerhard Schr? as a ''political prostitute'' for taking a job with a Russian state gas company. The government spokesman, Ulrich Wilhelm, said the comment, made in a speech at the dedication ceremony for a victims of Communism memorial in Washington on Tuesday, was ''unseemly.'' The foreign minister, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, said it had breached the bounds of decorum and was a ''discredit'' to Mr. Lantos. Mr. Schr? has been criticized within Germany for his new job, overseeing a pipeline project. MARK LANDLER

I just ordered 4 NiMHs LAA0125-HX from Multiplier to try out. Has anybody else used them with these radios?
FWIW I have been using NiMH AAAs in my Minitor IV for some months now with great results. Although the pager runs a pretty long time even with the regular NiCDs.
I have come to believe that the main problem with NiMHs in trickle chargers is just that due to their high capacity, the regular overnight charge isn't enough to fully charge them.
Experience with NiMH Batteries?

(APOPKA, FL) – Crews are scheduled Monday night, December 4 to close Ondich Road west of Plymouth Sorrento Road as building part of the Wekiva Parkway (State Road 429). The scheduled closure and detour will take place from 11 p.m. until 7 a.m. for bridge work.
During the closure, traffic will be detoured via Effie Drive, Kelly Park Road and Plymouth Sorrento Road. Flaggers will direct traffic and electronic message boards are posted to alert drivers. Bad weather or other unforeseen circumstances could delay or prolong work. Motorists are urged to use caution in the construction area for their safety and that of the work crews.
The Central Florida Expressway Authority began construction January 4, 2016 on Wekiva Parkway Section 2B. This $79.6 million section will connect to Section 2A, located north of Haas Road between Plymouth Sorrento Road and County Road 435 (Mount Plymouth Road), and to Section 1B to the south. Work is scheduled to finish by spring of 2018.
This project is among five parkway sections being built by CFX, totaling 10 miles and more than $270 million in construction costs. Once completed, the 25-mile parkway will complete Central Florida's beltway, while helping to protect the natural resources surrounding the Wekiva River.

*Precise Math*
In many parts of a case interview, precise math is required. This commonly occurs when calculating optimal price points, changes in volume shipments, gross margin %, shifts in revenue mix from one segment to another, break-even price points, and others.
It is VERY important to achieve 100% accuracy in these precise math type questions that are typically embedded within a case interview (and sometimes tested separately in an actual math exam).
No calculator or paper/pen is permitted. You must do all calculations in your head.
*A passing grade is 100% accuracy.*
A failing grade is any score less than 100% accurate.
In addition, it is important that you are able to be this accurate while under the pressure of a real-life interview. To simulate this stress, these practice tests are TIMED.
On your scoreboard, you will see your scores vs. other benchmark. These benchmarks include other people who have take the same test, the top 20% of those who have taken the test, and my (Victor Cheng's) personal typical score.
With the exception of an explicit math test given by an employer, in real life it is okay to slow down the pace (compared to the benchmarks established here) to double check your math.
We use an aggressive timeframe in practice to simulate STRESS (which tends to cause people to make mistakes). So if you can get used the stress of the clock, it is easier to do math with the stress of an interviewer looking at you.
*Estimation Math*
There are also times during a case where estimation math is the preferred level of accuracy. An acceptable estimate is one where the answer you give is within +/- 20% of the actual answer.
In many cases, this level of precision is "good enough".
This typically occurs when you are explicitly given an "estimation" problem during a case. Typically this is phrased along these lines,
"Estimate the # of tires sold in this country last year".
Other times you will find a math computation that is just too difficult to solve mentally. And the expectation is to keep the flow of the conversation going, just estimate the correct answer to see if it changes the business decision being considered.
For example, if we know that a profit margin more than 20% is considered attractive, and under 20% is unattractive, then for a given project it doesn't make much difference if the estimated profit margin is 30% - 40%... because both ends of the range are considered attractive.
For practice purposes, the goal in tackling estimation math question is to achieve a rating of 100% of responses being "acceptable". An acceptable response is one where your estimated answer is within +/- 20% of the precise answer.
Note the questions provided in the estimation test are significantly more difficult than for precise math.
No calculator or paper/pen is permitted. You must do all calculations in your head.
Good luck!

Patriots have more questions than answers
We are positively gobsmacked in the wake of Sunday's Patriots loss.
It could get worse for New England football fans. If the Patriots lose again Sunday night in Baltimore, they will be a sub-.500 team for the first time in 10 years. The last time the Patriots had more losses than wins was in October of 2002, when the defending Super Bowl champions fell to 3-4 on their way to a 9-7 non-playoff season.
Ever notice how losing starts more conversations than winning? We hardly knew what to say about the Patriots when they slammed Tennessee in their textbook opener. Now we have so many questions . . . and so few answers.
What was up with the conservative play calling? The Patriots sat on the ball in that final drive. They went backward. They lost the aggression that gave them a touchdown on the previous drive.
When Bill Belichick was asked about playing it safe at the end, he answered, "We scored a touchdown; got it called back. We had a touchdown called back.''
Coach Bill was asked seven questions in his painful postgame news conference Sunday. His seven answers totaled 141 words. My favorite response was the last one, when he was asked if he saw any signs of players losing focus during the practice week.
"I don't know,'' said Belichick. "That's what practice is for. Practice is never perfect. There are all these things to correct in practice; that's why we practice.''
Coach is no Allen Iverson.
Everybody wants to know what's up with Wes Welker. Are the Patriots punishing their slot receiver? Are they trying to suppress his market value? Are they saving him for the big games in November and December? Is Julian Edelman suddenly a better player than Pro Bowl Wes? How come none of us ever knew that Edelman was such a superior downfield blocker?
There wasn't much light shed on any of this Monday. Quarterback Tom Brady bit his tongue in his contractually obligated weekly radio appearance. Welker acknowledged that there were signs during the practice week that he might see diminished action, and that he might be a little "behind" because he missed practice time because of a death in the family. When Belichick was asked about Welker Monday, he said the receiver was not behind. Oh, and the coach said the Patriots always do what's best for the football team.
Belichick's highlight Monday was his answer when he was asked if Aaron Hernandez has any broken bones.
"I really don't have any updates on his status yet,'' said Belichick.
Wow. No X-ray machines in Foxborough?
Please. The Patriots simply are not going to tell anything they are not obligated to disclose.
Which begs the eternal question . . . why do we even bother to ask?
And yet we soldier on.
. . .
Wonder if the Ravens will know enough to defer if they win the coin toss Sunday night? As I've told you a million times, New England does not want the ball to start the game. Sunday against the Cardinals marked the 31st consecutive game in which the Patriots won the toss, then deferred. The last time the Patriots won the toss and opted for the football was Sept. 7, 2008, the day Brady injured his knee against Kansas City.
. . .
How are we feeling about Stephen Gostkowski next time he lines up for a game-winner?
. . .
What gets settled first — the NFL dispute with its officials, or the NHL lockout? I'm betting the NFL resolves its labor problems with referees after Monday night's Denver-Atlanta debacle. It was truly unwatchable.
The NFL likes to think it's getting away with replacement officials, but folks in Baltimore are pretty hot about Sunday's offensive pass interference call that took a touchdown off the board in a 1-point loss to the Eagles. It should be case closed after the Monday Night Football fiasco.
The league was embarrassed Sunday when it had to replace a replacement official, Brian Stropolo. Stropolo posted photos of himself wearing New Orleans team garb at a preseason Saints tailgate party hours before he was scheduled to work Sunday's Saints game at Carolina. Yahoo.
. . .
Regarding the final two weeks of the Red Sox season, we must quote Kevin Garnett and remind you that, "Anything is possible.''
No one can predict the next wacky move by a manager who is begging to be fired. Sunday's stunt of hitting for Jose Iglesias in the middle of an at-bat (2-and-2 count) was a new low for Bobby Valentine.
If Valentine still had any support in his clubhouse, it's certainly gone now. Not that players could have been too happy after Bobby V said he was working with the weakest roster in the history of baseball.
The Sox are bad, but Valentine still has a former MVP (Dustin Pedroia), a former MVP runner-up (Jacoby Ellsbury), an NLCS MVP (Cody Ross), and a catcher with 24 homers (Jarrod Saltalamacchia).
Here was Houston's lineup against Roy Halladay Sunday: Altuve, Paredes, Moore, Maxwell, Dominguez, Corporan, Martinez, Greene, Lyles.
. . .
Adrian Gonzalez was 0 for 5 Sunday, his average has dropped to .233, and the Dodgers have fallen behind the Cardinals in the wild-card hunt.
Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo, one of the players the Sox traded to get Gonzo, went 3 for 5, hit a pair of homers, knocked in six runs, and improved his average to .300.

This weeks new arrivals are sooo cute! If you see something you can't live without, click here to shop.
Both discount codes 'vlv14' and 'hello2011' are valid at checkout for taking 25% off your total purchase. You know how Etsy gets though; every so often something malfunctions. A customer placed an order and used the discount during checkout this morning w/o any issue, but last night another customer complained the discount code wasn't working.
Damn those glitches! But fear not ladies – if Etsy doesn't make it right, I will. In the event a discount code doesn't work, I'll make sure to refund the difference on Paypal. I promise.
With outta the way, let's get on with the show:
Q: Why does this dress resemble a Singapore sling?
A: Because it's belongs at your next cocktail party. Hint hint! Bright and festive 50s cotton dress in a Mayan inspired geometric print, with lil' bows around the neck and a ruffle hemline. Pair it with the works aka flowers and cocktail umbrellas in your hair, bakelite and bamboo bangles, carved wooden wedge heels, and whatever tastes fruity. Then bust out the Martin Denny records. Sometimes more is just… more.
Heavenly shades of night. This House of Trash dress has a bittersweet story. The best fabric store in town was going out of business, and had to liquidate their inventory. They sold nothing but high end imported fabrics, such as the French silk this is made of.
It normally retailed at $44.00 a yard, so in theory the dress has $176.00 worth of fabric alone. I was able to pay much less than that though.
So to keep the good karma flowing I've priced it at under $200.00, AND you can get 25% off my asking price. For a one of a kind, handmade vintage reproduction fashioned from an authentic early 50s sewing pattern (which has a distinct Dior 'new look' silhouette) + top quality fabric, you can't go wrong. There's a lot of hand stitching on this, and I even added a vintage metal zipper to keep it as authentic looking as possible.
Already sold, but with sharing for fun. 50s silk chiffon dress w/ blue rose print. Romantic, classic, angelic, Betty Draper worthy, you know the drill.
Creme de la creme de la creme de la creme! 1940s + multi colored + rayon + embroidered Hawaiian boutique label = severe case of Stendhal syndrome. Can I get on disability for that? haha
You can never go wrong with vintage Oaxacan tent dresses. I love how this one has rainbow pastel embroidery! Someone else loved it too, as it sold within an hour. Yay!
Honeycomb be my gal. Lush 40s rayon with the cutest bumblebee and geometric honeycomb print in navy blue, bubblegum pink, and white. Tulip sleeves, shirred shoulders, and ruffle hem. So sweet.
**edit** This beauty found a new home right after I posted this. And yes, the buyer was able to use the discount code w/o any issues : ). ******
At last, another 60s dress! We've suffered a shortage of them for months, but thankfully replenished our stock last week. There's many more mod mini's on the way next week, but this one's a good start.
Chocolate brown and white op art print. Yum yum yum.
70s meets 7 Year Itch! Had Marilyn lived another decade this could've been her dress. Plunging halter neckline, nipped waist, and full skirting. The floral print ain't too shabby either : P. Technically someone 'bought' this on Etsy, but it hasn't been paid for yet. I'm sure they won't flake out though. On something this great, who would?
SarahJayne loves the 70s, part 10,000. Joyful floral print in a light stretch knit + matching chiffon overdrape. Cute cute cute. I want to wear this before someone buys it, but I have a tendency to treat my clothes like Tonka trucks, so I'll resist. Nothing can stop me from swooning though.
Hopelessly. Head. Over. Heels. In. Love. The butterflies and wildflowers, the puffy sleeves, the sweetheart neckline, the cut….. if you're cute like Doe Deere is, you need this in your life.
Studio 54 approved! This little black polyester 70s dress may be easy to care for, but basic is the last this you can call it. Asymmetrical v neckline, double tiers of asymmetrical skirting with marrowed edges…. dang!
There's much more on the way too. I have piles upon piles of stuff to list. Good stuff. You'll see.
xoxo, SJ

Plymouth Argyle 2-3 Wycombe Wanderers: Late goals keep tie alive
Last Updated: 09/05/15 11:12pm
Plymouth Argyle staged a dramatic late comeback to reduce Wycombe Wanderers' advantage to 3-2 after the first leg of their League Two play-off semi-final.
The Chairboys looked as though they would have a healthy lead to take back to Adams Park as goals from Paul Hayes, Aaron Holloway and Steven Craig put them 3-0 ahead.
But Plymouth revived their hopes of reaching Wembley thanks to late strikes from substitutes Zak Ansah and Jason Banton.
The return leg takes place on Thursday evening.
Plymouth ended the League Two campaign 13 points adrift of fourth-placed Wycombe in seventh but they had won 2-0 in Buckinghamshire in February and were encouraged by the biggest crowd at Home Park - 14,175 - since their relegation from the Championship five years ago.
And Plymouth were quick to pile the crosses in on young Welsh goalkeeper Alex Lynch who had been called up for his first senior start after a knee injury prevented Matt Ingram from making his 112th consecutive appearance in the Wycombe goal.
Pilgrims skipper Curtis Nelson headed wide in the second minute before Lewis Alessandra failed to keep Kelvin Mellor's cross down as John Sheridan's side made in-roads down both flanks.
But the mood inside Home Park changed in the 10th minute when Alfie Mawson met Joe Jacobson's corner, Luke McCormick blocked the point-blank effort but Hayes bundled home the rebound from close range.
Wycombe doubled their lead after 22 minutes in controversial fashion as the Pilgrims almost stopped to a man when Craig appeared to control a free-kick with his arm, but referee Peter Bankes allowed the game to continue and Holloway delivered a wonderful low strike beyond McCormick.
Plymouth struck the woodwork after 29 minutes when Carl McHugh rose highest at a corner but the referee had spotted that he had used his arm to send the ball onto the bar and the midfielder was promptly booked.
There was no lack of energy in Plymouth's attacks but they lacked the invention to open up a sturdy Wycombe defence which was doing a manful job of protecting Lynch.
Bobby Reid did find a yard of space five minutes before the break to send the ball goalwards but not for the first time a Wycombe defender was in the right place to block.
Injury forced off Hayes at half-time but it failed to knock Wycombe out of their stride and Craig profited after 52 minutes when Sam Saunders slipped him through on the right side of the penalty area.
Craig's goal served to deflate the Pilgrims who were suddenly second-best all over the field and were unable to make the sort of headway they had done in the first half.
Substitute Matt Bloomfield might have added a fourth for Wycombe and Plymouth appeared a spent force, but Ansah gave them hope with a wonderful 25-yard strike before Banton curled home a second past the flat-footed Lynch in the final moments.

So far there are nine declared candidates for the office of Massachusetts governor, to be decided in November, 2014.
BOSTON - In November, Massachusetts voters will elect a new governor for the first time in eight years in what promises to be a gubernatorial race filled with both mainstream candidates and outsiders from a variety of political persuasions.Nomination papers for legislative and statewide elections became available Tuesday from the Secretary of State office. So far, nine people want to be the next governor.
"What's needed is transformative reform," Evan Falchuk, one gubernatorial candidate said. "Voters want to hear there's some larger pragmatic cause."
Falchuk is running as the founder of the United Independent Party, which he describes as a moderate party that supports socially progressive and fiscally sensible government. If his party gets at least 3 percent of the vote in November, then it will be recognized as an official party in Massachusetts.
But the main action is likely to come from veterans of state politics, such as Republican Charlie Baker, his party's 2010 gubernatorial candidate, and Democrats Attorney General Martha Coakley and state Treasurer Steve Grossman.
Other less well-known Democrats running are Juliette Kayyem, a former Homeland Security official in the Obama administration, pediatrician Don Berwick and health care executive Joseph Avellone. Challenging Baker for the GOP nod is small business owner and tea party member Mark Fisher.
In addition to Falchuk, there are at least two other independents running, Scott Lively, an evangelical pastor, and Jeff McCormick, co-founder and managing partner of the Boston venture capital firm Saturn Partners.
Falchuk said that more than half of eligible voters are unenrolled in either major party, a fact he attributed partly to a feeling of lack of connection to what happens on Beacon Hill.
"We need to talk about specific issues," Falchuk said. "People are pretty tired of voting for the lesser of two evils."
He was in Quincy earlier this week, and has been speaking with voters outside of supermarkets and at senior centers on the South Shore.
Both Falchuk and Berwick say they have been impressed with the energy they have felt while meeting people on the South Shore.
"I've been impressed by the amount of interest in the political process," Berwick, a former director of the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said. "I thought people would be tired and jaded, (but they're) empowered."

Although some of our products don't need any more installation than removing from them from the box and plugging them in, our electric floor heating systems require a little more preparation before install.
The project is the Jordan residence in Northern Ontario, Canada. At the time, the home was still under construction so the Jordans were making decisions about everything from paint colors to heating. The conventional option to heat their home would have been baseboard heating, but the location of the windows was too low to the ground. The Jordans really liked the placement of the windows, so it turned out that baseboard heating was not a viable option. Also, there were ten rooms in the house that needed to be heated, and baseboard heating for the project would have been very expensive.
The window placement turned out to be a blessing in disguise because it prompted the Jordans to do additional research about how to heat their home and that's how they found WarmlyYours. They discovered that WarmlyYours concrete heating systems were a perfect fit since they could be installed before the contractor poured the concrete floors.
There were two minor things to deal with up front. First, the house had very specific amperage requirements that had to be met. Second, the contractor was apprehensive about installing the slab heating because he did not have any experience with our systems. His main concern was whether the concrete would pour through the openings in the mat. Little did he know, our 24/7 installation experts walk contractors through installations of our systems everyday.
WarmlyYours staff went to work on the project. First, using the floor plan of the home, WarmlyYours dedicated account manager, Elodie Pasek, enlisted our engineering staff. They designed a custom installation plan that included both cable and mat concrete heating product that met the amperage requirements of the house. As the house went through different stages of construction and the requirements changed, WarmlyYours engineers modified those plans, free of charge, of course!
The Jordans had many questions about their new heating system, and understandably so. How well will the mat system would work as compared to the cable system? How would the installation go? Would the concrete pour smoothly through the mat? How would all the connections work? And, how long would it take to get the product? The Jordans appreciated that they had a dedicated account manager to answer all their questions and were reassured by the fact that someone is ALWAYS available, 24/7, to assist them and their installers.
WarmlyYours stayed in constant contact with the contractors on site and throughout the entire installation. In the end, it all went according to plan. The electrician had the following to say about the actual installation: "We had to install both cables and mats for this house. I personally love working with the mesh (mats) more than the cable as it took me 10 minutes per mat to put down whereas the cable needed to be measured to proper spacing and then strapped down, which is more time consuming. The floor plans were very helpful to determine which size would go for each room." That's a sentiment we hear often at WarmlyYours – mats are easier to install.
The Jordans now have a radiant heating system that makes quick work of the Canadian Winters without exceeding the electrical capacity of the home. It turns out that installing concrete floor heating was also less expensive than baseboard heating and the other systems that the Jordans explored, so it was a winning proposition for everyone.
This might sound like an extraordinary amount of work for one sale, but it's all in a day's work for us.
