Q: The basic gravy recipe above tastes great on its own, but it's not the final word on hamburger gravy. For example, if you want to give your gravy a slightly more complex taste, try adding these dried herbs with the salt, pepper, etc. at the end of the recipe. The bitter aromatics of sage and the sweetness of basil pair well to make a gravy that's a little more filet mignon than hamburger. Bouillon is a common ingredient in gravy recipes. Its salty, meat-y flavor make for a mouthwatering gravy. To use bouillon, just stir it into the mixture along with the flour. Both beef and chicken bouillon make good choices. You can also use broth for a similar flavor. About one 14-ounce can of chicken or beef broth should be plenty. If you don't have any flour or you like a slightly thicker gravy, this is the way to go. However, since cornstarch can form unappetizing clumps if you add it directly to hot liquids, you need to prepare the recipe a little differently: While the beef cooks, combine the corn starch with the milk in a small bowl. You can also combine it with the broth if you're using it. Stir until well-combined. Add the liquid-cornstarch mixture gradually to the pan, stirring as you go. Steak sauce goes excellently with beef, so it only makes sense that it would go with hamburger gravy. The sour-savory taste of most steak sauces makes the perfect companion to the smooth taste of the basic gravy. Add your favorite steak sauce at the end of the recipe with the salt, pepper, etc. Barbecue sauce and hot sauce also work well here. Gravy is delicious, but it's not something that people usually associate with the word "spicy." If you have a bold palate, try adding red pepper flakes or cayenne to your gravy. The latter will give it a nice pinkish color in addition to plenty of heat. Don't forget to add gradually and taste the gravy often to avoid adding too much! Cutting down on the fat in your gravy is as simple as adding nonfat milk in place of 2% or whole milk in the recipe. Since nonfat milk is slightly more watery, you may need to heat the gravy for slightly longer to get the same thickness (or add a little extra flour/cornstarch). You can also use leaner grades of ground beef to reduce the fat in the dish even more.
A: Try seasoning with basil and sage. Add bouillon for savory flavor. Try thickening with cornstarch instead of flour. Add tangy steak sauce for a barbecue flavor. Heat the recipe up with red pepper. Use fat-free milk for a healthier alternative.

Q: Place the ball into a tight clamp to ensure that it does not move during drilling. If the ball moves during drilling, the holes may come out uneven, making the ball uncomfortable to use or difficult to control. With an erasable marker or piece of chalk, mark the hole configuration, placing a mark at the center of the spot you plan to drill each hole. Use your span measurement to assure the holes will be properly placed. When bowling balls are molded, they are suspended by a small rod that, when removed, leaves a hole that must be filled in. This is called the "pin." You should avoid drilling through the pin, as this may void your warranty and negatively affect the ball's performance. Make sure your nearest hole is at least an inch away from the pin. The pin should be easy to locate. It is usually a different color than the rest of the ball. For advanced ball drillers, the pin is used to determine properties of the bowling ball's core that can be used to determine the ideal location on the ball to drill finger holes, depending on the qualities you want the ball to have. This will vary from one model of ball to the next, so if you want to try this, you should consult the instructions that came with your ball. It's a good idea to double check your marks against your span measurements before drilling. Once the holes are drilled, they are permanent. Determine the correctly sized drill bits to create comfortable holes for your thumb and fingers. You can determine this easily if you used a sizing ball to get your hand measurements, as these balls also provide information on your thumb and finger widths. If you did not have the benefit of a sizing ball, a good way to determine this is to experiment with different bits, drilling holes of different sizes into a block of wood and then determining which ones most comfortably fits your thumb and fingers. Prepare your bowling ball drill with the proper bit for your thumb width. It is strongly recommended that you use a bowling ball drill. Attempting this with an ordinary drill may damage your ball. Drill the hole slowly at your desired angle, checking the depth often so as not to drill too deep. Swap out the drill bit and drill the two finger holes. As with the thumb hole, check the depths often to avoid drilling too deep. Replace the drill bit with a sanding attachment and sand the interior of the holes until they are smooth and our fingers slide in and out easily and comfortably.
A: Clamp the ball in place. Mark the ball. Select your bits. Insert the first bit. Drill your thumb hole. Switch bits and drill the finger holes. Sand the holes.

Q: By the time you are in your fourth year of your undergraduate degree, you should be able to determine whether this is truly the right field for you. If you plan to move directly into a graduate program, you will want to start researching programs near the beginning of your final undergraduate year. Applications will usually be due near the beginning of the Spring semester (around January through March) of your final undergraduate year. Some programs may require you to take the GRE before applying. (This is similar to the SAT or ACT, but for graduate school.) An MS (or Master of Science) degree in Exercise Physiology can open you to more career opportunities. Some programs offer what's known as a "fifth year Master's," meaning that after you complete your undergraduate degree (BS), you simply stay on for one more year to earn your MS. If your undergraduate university does not offer such an option, begin looking for ASEP accredited MS programs that suit your needs. When you find the right program, apply right away, Once you are accepted, spend 1-3 years completing your degree. Depending on your program, you may need to write a research report or thesis to finish. A PhD in exercise physiology (kinesiology) will be a research-heavy program. Like an MS program, you will continue to study the science of exercise and nutrition. However, as a PhD student, you will be expected to conduct research and contribute new knowledge to the field. In order to complete your degree, you will need to research and write a doctoral dissertation. If you know you would like to complete a Ph.D., look for an MS program that will prepare you for a Ph.D., or better yet, an MS program that leads directly into a PhD program. Begin applying to PhD programs during your final year of your MS. Once you are accepted, spent 3-5 years (or more) pursuing your PhD. Make sure that any program you choose is ASEP certified. Many MS and PhD programs in exercise physiology will offer assistantships to students. This means that graduate students may complete teaching, research, or other types of work in exchange for a tuition waver. Beyond simply making graduate school more affordable for students, this hands-on professional training is excellent for students of exercise physiology at any level.
A:
Decide if you would like to further your education. Consider an MS. Consider a PhD. Look for a program that offers assistantships.
