The term in technical foam may mislead some people into believing it is strictly for industrial purposes only. However, it is surprising to consider how many times foam is used around the house and in the more domestic aspects of our lives. Soft toys, for example, are sometimes made using foam rubber because of its properties. That is to say, it is soft and safe and can be used to make many different educational toys, building blocks, play mats and so forth. The educational aspect of play seems to be gaining in popularity, and an ideal gift for your baby or child is a play mat that consists of brightly coloured letters with corresponding slots on a foam rubber mat. The letters, being also constructed from rubber, will be safe as will the mat. Other applications for foam rubber include the sponge tip on certain shoe polishers, bath sponges, fillings for sofa and chair cushions. Tea cosies, believe it or not, are nylon or cotton covers with foam rubber inserts. It is undeniable that foam rubber is an integral part of our daily lives in most spheres. Companies such as ours, at Technical Foam Services have a good many different grades of foam available which can be cut to size to accommodate the various manufacturing needs of companies in the industrial sector. If we return our attention to the domestic applications to which foam can be used, there is the housework to be considered. Soft pads and sponges for cleaning in every room. Surprisingly enough, foam rubber manufacturers have now developed a synthetic material to replace chamois leather. Since computers have now become a common sight in many homes, mouse mats again made from foam rubber have become very popular and companies use them to advertise their products.

For the 14th ranked Tar Heels, the question is whether two straight close wins against teams from the bottom third of the Atlantic Coast Conference standings is a concern or just a blip headed into Saturday finale against their fiercest rival. James Michael McAdoo hit the go ahead shot in the lane with 3:09 left and Marcus Paige blocked Eric Atkins driving shot on the final play to seal UNC 63 61 victory over Notre Dame on Monday night, earning the Tar Heels their 12th straight victory in their last home game. While the Tar Heels (23 7, 13 4 ACC) have their longest winning streak since 2008 09, it marked the second time in three days they found themselves in a fight with an underdog opponent. They won 60 56 at last place Virginia Tech on Saturday, then blew a 14 point halftime lead and had to fight to the horn to beat the Fighting Irish (15 16, 6 12). said Saturday to have a really good year you got to win some games ugly, Williams said. tired of winning games ugly. I really thought we have a tremendous sense of urgency today. We played so much harder at practice yesterday than we did in the game today. We learned those lessons earlier in the season but we let them slip by us here the last couple of games. Still, the Tar Heels haven lost since Jan. 20 at No. 5 Virginia when they were just starting their climb from an 0 3 ACC start. They close the regular season this weekend at No. 4 Duke. The Tar Heels did just enough down the stretch Monday, with Paige one of the ACC best free throw shooters at 89 percent shaking off two missed free throws in the final 20 seconds to knock away Atkins final drive just before the horn. just was in the right help spot, and it would been a tough shot anyway, Paige said. wanted to do whatever I could to help and I was in the right spot. I had to make up for missing a couple of free throws. Atkins, who scored 21 points to lead Notre Dame, didn see who blocked his shot. got so deep in there and it was so late that I was thinking that if I passed it, the time might have run out, Atkins said. didn want to risk not getting up a shot. Tokoto added 11. But Paige, UNC leading scorer who had a career high 35 points and the last second layup to beat North Carolina State last week, managed just seven points on 2 for 8 shooting. Notre Dame, playing without senior center Garrick Sherman due to a hand injury, closed its regular season with two straight tough losses. The Fighting Irish lost 85 81 in overtime to Pittsburgh on Saturday and won play again until next week ACC tournament in Greensboro. Pat Connaughton had Notre Dame first 10 points of the second half and finished with 17 points and a season high 13 rebounds despite a sore left ankle. Notre Dame used a 22 5 run out of halftime to erase the 41 27 deficit and go ahead midway through the half. The Fighting Irish led 56 55 before McAdoo basket started a 6 0 burst, with Brice Johnson scoring inside and Tokoto adding a jumper to beat the shot clock for the 61 56 lead with 1:28 left. But Connaughton three point play with 52.1 seconds left cut the deficit to a basket, then Atkins followed Paige first missed free throw with a driving layup to cut the lead to 62 61 with 8.6 seconds left. Paige made 1 of 2 free throws with 6.6 seconds left to give Notre Dame its final shot. Notre Dame shot 54 percent from the field in the second half, while the defense limited UNC to 22 points matching the Tar Heels season low for a half and just one second chance point. something that we been trying to build on throughout the season, Connaughton said. you look across the board, we been in a bunch of these games that we lost. It something that we got to kind of take with us to Greensboro and then just get over the hump.

New Style Men Nike Free Run 3 Black Reflective Silver Platinum Volt,Nike Roshe Run Women Black White Food trends run in cycles, and American consumers can be very fickle one year's hottest fad is entirely likely to be next year's old news. But we've noticed one current trend that appears to have some staying power the use of coconut milk as a replacement for milk and cream in everything from yogurt to ice cream sandwiches. Within the past year, we've already sampled very good coconut milk ice cream from an Oregon company called Coconut Bliss and the marvelous frozen confections created locally by NadaMoo!. Most recently, we tried a full line of coconut milk products from a Eugene, Ore., outfit called Turtle Mountain. It offers half gallons of coconut milk, individual servings of yogurt, pints of ice cream, ice cream sandwiches, chocolate coated ice cream bars, and frozen fruit bars, all under the So Delicious and Purely Decadent labels. Some of the coconut milks and all of the ice cream treats and fruit bars are sweetened with agave syrup, making them lower in fat and calories and lower on the glycemic index than dairy treats sweetened with sugar. After checking out the entire product line, I don't think I would ever develop a taste for the So Delicious unsweetened coconut milk or any of the flavored yogurts, but the vanilla coconut milk works fine for coffee and cereal. On the dessert end of the spectrum, the So Delicious coconut milk ice cream sandwiches and chocolate covered ice cream bars are marvelous little guilt free treats, as are the smooth and creamy fruit bars, especially the orange passion fruit. The Purely Decadent dairy free ice cream pints come in eight delicious flavors, offering the rich, satisfying mouthfeel of premium ice cream and the righteous enjoyment of a low fat, low calorie treat that won't cause a spike in your blood sugar. Look for So Delicious and Purely Decadent dairy free products at Whole Foods Markets and Wheatsville Co op. Men Nike Free Run 3 Black Reflective Silver Platinum Volt Jan. 22 at Whole Foods Market at 7250 W. Lake Mead Blvd. for a store tour, a discussion of cross contamination issues and a guest speaker from Gluten Not Included, a gluten free bakery and cafe in San Diego. "It was really rare," Sullivan recalled. "There was no information on it." Most of what her family could find was online, and much of that was erroneous. The cause of her severe anemia eluded her doctors for nearly six months, until she was referred to a gastroenterologist who identified the problem. Because of an intolerance to gluten (a protein in wheat, barley and rye), her small intestine was not absorbing nutrients like it should. Sullivan's mother started experimenting with dishes the teen could eat, but the going was rough and eating out nearly impossible. When she started dating her future husband, "he got tired of me eating peanut butter every time we went on a date," Sullivan remembered. "I was a cheap date, though." Nearly nine years later, things have changed significantly. Stores such as Whole Foods Market have extensive displays of gluten free foods, but the niche also has gone mainstream, with gluten free products by such major manufacturers as Betty Crocker and Anheuser Busch. Dena Larson, marketing manager for the baking products division of General Mills, which owns Betty Crocker, said the company was spurred to create gluten free products because several employees either had gluten intolerance or had relatives who did. What struck the staff, she said, was that gluten sensitive people were excluded from the "sweet moments of life family moments sharing a cake, being able to reward your son with a cookie when he gets off the bus. Those are the things we take for granted, but it's emotional to have those things taken away from you." Development of the products moved swiftly "because we were very targeted" and they were introduced in June. And if it seems like a lot more cases of the various types of gluten intolerance are being diagnosed, it's probably because of that increased awareness, said gastroenterologist Brent Burnette. "It's hard to say if the diagnosis is on the increase or whether practitioners are more adept at looking for the disease," Burnette said. "Studies show that it is more prevalent now than ever before." There are various types and degrees of gluten intolerance. Celiac disease, Burnette said, is an immune response, where "you have actual damage to the small intestine." There also are wheat allergies, and other people have a milder intolerance and simply feel better if they avoid wheat products. Many people who sense that they have a gluten intolerance are actually self diagnosed, but Burnette said there's not much hazard in following a gluten free diet even if it's not medically necessary. "I wouldn't say there's a real danger," he said. "People who go on a gluten free diet will probably tell you that it can be expensive." The drawback to embarking on the diet on one's own, Burnette and Sullivan said, is that the only way to obtain a medical diagnosis is to return to a diet that includes gluten, which many are reluctant to do if they feel more healthy on the special diet. Celiac disease can be diagnosed through blood tests, although "the gold standard would be a small bowel biopsy, which can be done through an EGD," or esophagogastroduodenoscopy, performed by inserting instruments down the throat, Burnette said. "The actual course of celiac disease varies greatly within individuals," Burnette noted. "Some can have minimal symptoms; others can have severe problems to the point where they can acquire lymphoma and require small bowel dissection. It can be a very disfiguring disease." Sullivan's diagnosis came three days before her 19th birthday, and her mother whipped up a gluten free cake, the recipe for which she found online. "Thank God for mommies," she said. But these days things are easier. Sullivan leads the Las Vegas Celiac Support Group, which she said has nearly 600 members. She noted that the Whole Foods store at 100 S. Green Valley Parkway in Henderson has one of the largest selections of gluten free foods in the area, which was confirmed by store marketing specialist Megan Murray. The reason, Murray said, is "pretty much because the demand is there. We get so many customers who come in who have been diagnosed with celiac or a wheat allergy and are so frustrated that they can't find things in other stores. Chang's and Sammy's Woodfired Pizza offer gluten free dishes. Rory Palmeri, owner of Gaetano's Ristorante at 10271 S. Eastern Ave. in Henderson, said she offers gluten free pasta, which is cooked separately from the regular pasta to avoid cross contamination. "We're trying to accommodate people who have these problems so they have a place to eat out and not be afraid," Palmeri said. For Joe Masterson, owner of Lazy Joe's Fish and Chips at 7835 S. Rainbow Blvd., the arrival at a menu that is more than 90 percent gluten free was more serendipitous. When he opened his restaurant, Masterson said, it was with a breading recipe that has been in his family for more than 70 years and that is based on corn flour. "When I got my (corn) flour in, it said 'gluten free,' " Masterson said. "It was the same flour that my dad used. Little did we know at the time that it would play that major of a role in our business today," with customers coming to town from places such as Florida and Illinois seeking him out after finding references to Lazy Joe's online.
