The large-scale structures testing facility consists of a universal testing machine (UTM), and a 13.7m-high reaction buttress equipped with a horizontal hydraulic ram. A combination of 4.5 MN horizontal force and 53 MN compressive vertical force may be applied to large-scale specimens.
Specifications / Capabilities:
The UTM portion of the facility is a hydraulically operated machine of 53.4 MN capacity and is the largest in the world. It is used to test large structural components and to calibrate very large capacity force-measuring devices. It can apply compression forces to column sections or fabricated members up to 18 m in height. The reaction buttress will resist horizontal forces of 4.5 MN at a level of 12.2 m from the floor.
Scientific Opportunities / Applications:
A testing program was conducted to evaluate the performance of concrete columns 1.5 m in diameter and up to 9.1 m high. Another test series evaluated fracture propagation in steel plates 1 m wide and 0.1 m and 0.15 m thick. Low-cycle fatigue tests, destructive or ultimate loads, earthquake simulation in two dimensions, and complex loading of components may all be accomplished in this facility.
Access Information:
This facility, which must be operated by NIST staff, is available for cooperative or independent research on a cost reimbursable basis. Tests should be arranged as far in advance as possible as special hardware may be required.

Two 20-something Chicagoans are combining technology and dirty laundry to create a business.
The idea is to create a more efficient system for city dwellers to get their dry cleaning done than having to rely on a neighborhood store with limited hours.
Their company is called Pressbox. And it's a 24/7, tech-driven dry cleaning service, co-founded by Vijen Patel and Drew McKenna, grandson of McDonald's Corp. Nonexecutive Chairman Andrew McKenna Sr.
Here's how it works. Just like using an ATM after hours, you swipe your credit card to get access to a bank of Pressbox lockers. You stuff your dirty clothes, no matter the hour, into a locker, lock it and send a text message alerting the company your clothes are there. The company texts you back when your cleaned and pressed clothes have been returned to the locker along with an access code to open it.
The goal is a two-day turnaround time. Prices are in line with traditional cleaners, Patel said.
Pressbox opened its first public location on Lincoln Avenue in Lakeview two weeks ago. The company also opened a location inside the Green Exchange building that is accessible only to employees of Coyote Logistics. And they plan to place lockers in new Cedar Street Co. apartment buildings, which are marketed under the FLATS brand.
Patel, 27, the company's chief executive, who graduated from Barrington High School, said the arrangement with FLATS is the model he and McKenna, 26, intend to follow. They hope managers of residential high-rises will see the service as an amenity to lure renters and buyers.
"Given the weather in Chicago, we intend to heavily concentrate on high-rise buildings," Patel said. "To get your dry cleaning right at your front door is about as convenient as it gets. And the building gets an amenity at no cost for installation. And it takes up very little square footage, enough space for two chairs in a hundred-unit building."
Patel borrowed the idea for the business from Laundry Locker, a popular San Francisco startup. He asked McKenna to join him, and together they did something smart. Rather than build their own technology from scratch, they inked a deal to license Laundry Locker's technology here.
The two entrepreneurs met in college at Notre Dame when they lived in neighboring dorms. After graduation, McKenna worked for Notre Dame football and then for a mobile-gaming startup in the West Loop. And Patel worked for consulting firm McKinsey & Co. before joining private equity firm FFL in San Francisco.
"I realized San Francisco was really far away from home, and I wanted to come back home," Patel said.
The two wouldn't say much about how they're financing the business, other than their seed investment round was oversubscribed, meaning they raised more money than they expected. And they said their investors stretch from London to California, but all have a connection to Chicago.
"At FFL, I saw too many companies take a couple million-plus dollars and quickly blow through it by spending irrationally," Patel said in an e-mail. "So we wanted to keep the initial round small, forcing us to think carefully about how to allocate, spend and create as much value for our investors."
They have three other employees. McKenna is in charge of operations. They've contracted out the actual dry cleaning to Five Star Laundry, an industrial dry cleaner at Goose Island, and the wash-and-fold service to Bucktown Bubbles.
Patel and McKenna are operating in the sweet spot for Chicago tech, helping an old-line industry become more efficient. But unlike Groupon, which helps local merchants lure customers, Pressbox is competing with local merchants by sending the dry cleaning to an industrial service.
"We were getting some heat for competing vs. local, immigrant-founded businesses," Patel wrote. "So I thought it might be helpful to share that both my parents were immigrants to Chicago — from Uganda and India — and our long-term hope remains to partner with local dry cleaners."
Flying cameras
Charles Forman sold online game-maker OMGPOP to Zynga for about $200 million.
His second startup, with Threadless co-founder Jacob DeHart and Nate Westheimer, is called Picturelife and is based here, where Forman lives part time.
But when his name comes up in Chicago tech circles, the subject more often is his small collection of drones, two of which Forman built from scratch. And he's starting to garner national attention for the beautiful aerial photography he's capturing when he straps a GoPro camera to his quadcopter drone.

©2014 Propane Education & Research Council
Contact a propane expert in your area and learn more about propane and propane appliances.
Information you need to know about propane safety and how to keep your family safe during and after a thunderstorm. By taking a few simple propane-related safety precautions and discussing them with your family, you can reduce the potential for devastating property loss, personal injury, and even death.
AT ANY TIME - If you smell gas inside or outside of your home:
BEFORE - Be prepared for thunderstorms
Know how and where to shut off the outdoor propane supply and indoor propane appliances. For more information, contact your propane retailer.
MAKE SURE THAT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY KNOW WHAT PROPANE SMELLS LIKE. Propane has a strong, unpleasant smell like rotten eggs, a skunk's spray, or a dead animal.
NEVER store or place a propane cylinder indoors or in an enclosed area such as a basement, garage, shed, or tent.
It is recommended that you consider installing a carbon monoxide (CO) detector listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) on every level of your home. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding installation, location, and maintenance.
Propane gas detectors provide an additional measure of security. It is recommended that you consider installing one or more propane gas detectors listed by UL. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding installation, location, and maintenance.
Have a list of instructions on how to turn off electricity, propane, and water. Review suggested preparations for weather hazards such as thunderstorms with your propane retailer as well as other utility suppliers. Advise them of any special needs you may have.
Create an emergency preparedness plan and review it regularly with your family in order to keep them safe during a potential disaster.
DURING - If a thunderstorm approaches
Although thunderstorms are a common occurrence, it is important to prepare for and recognize their potential danger. Listen to your local authorities, or television and radio stations, for instructions on the appropriate course of action to take. If a thunderstorm approaches, the following steps are recommended:
AFTER - After a thunderstorm
After a thunderstorm, use caution in the area surrounding your home or farm. If you have any doubts about your safety, leave the area immediately and have your property inspected by a qualified building inspector or structural engineer before re-entering. Take the time to carefully evaluate the condition of all the structures on your property. If it is dark, use flashlights, not candles.
Look carefully around the entire area. Check for downed power lines; they can create major safety hazards. High winds and hail can move, shift, or damage gas lines and tanks. Immediately call your local utility company or propane retailer if any of these hazards exist.
Follow these general safety rulesThunderstorms can cause power outages, flooding, or other events requiring you to take additional safety measures. To help reduce the potential for injury or death, there are general safety rules you should observe at all times:
If you suspect any of your propane appliances, equipment, or vehicles have been under water or they have been damaged, or you have turned off your gas supply:

Unique Eye-Catcher..!!

Great looking product at very affordable price..!!
Cowboy Hat is a Star Indeed!
By Love to Party
from The Alamo City, TX
About Me Quality Oriented
I am doing the decorating for an upcoming citywide gala with the theme "Rhinestone Cowboy." I plan to use this hat as part of the centerpiece on the guest tables. To provide height, I will use a small hay bale as the base. The bale will be draped with a swath of diaphanous fabric that changes color from red to blue depending on how the light hits it. The hat will be perched atop the fabric. Between the LED lights on the hat, the color-changing quality of the fabric, and the other items I will use in the centerpiece, I think it will make quite a dramatic impact. Originally, I was only going to use a plain cowboy hat, so I was absolutely thrilled to find this item, which is much more interesting visually. I was pleasantly surprised at the reasonable price and since I was buying in quantity, the hat is actually a bargain. Even so, the hat does not look cheap or flimsy. It is well-made and full-size. I highly recommend this item.
Great Quality - Fast Delivery

from New Jersey
These are being worn at a theme party at our National Convention in Austin, Texas. Purchased 35 for our group. On/Off switch could be improved, but otherwise excellent quality for the price. Delivered in only a few days - Excellent!
Best value!!!
By Marcy Sue
from Banning, CA
Bought 12 hats to be worn by adults at our Women's golf tournament. Gave them to pro shop staff, ballroom wait staff and bar staff. The women found them a bit too big. We bought weather stripping and added strips where needed for a snug fit. All lights worked...they were a hit! We let everyone keep them and no one gave their's back to us.
Great for adults
Hats will be worn at women's golf tournament by pro staff and in ballroom by servers/bar staff. Large enough for men and women. If a little too big we'll adhere weather stripping inside on four sides to make them fit better. Easy to activate LED lights - lots of fun!

There are plenty of things I take for granted, but not being burglarized was never one of them. Whether I was in a good neighborhood or a crummy one, in a house or an apartment or a hotel room, every time I walked in and found my dresser drawers not emptied onto the floor I would offer a silent, nondenominational prayer of thanks. I honestly believed that my gratitude would keep me safe, so imagine my surprise in late November, 2011, when someone broke into a place I was renting with Hugh and my sister Gretchen and stole my computer bag.
I thought of my laptop—a year's worth of work, gone!—but my real concern was my passport, which had been tucked into an interior pocket alongside my checkbook. Its loss was colossal because it was my only form of I.D., and also because my Indefinite Leave to Remain sticker was in it.
This is the British equivalent of a green card, and getting it had not been easy. Before Indefinite Leave, I'd had visas, and those had taken some effort as well. The rules have changed since 2002, when I first applied. Back then, if you wanted permission to live in the U.K. it was possible to apply as a writer. All I had to do was fill out a great many forms and prove that I had published a book. Hugh, by extension, was granted a visa as the boyfriend of a writer. This meant that when crossing into Great Britain I would be asked by the border agents if I wrote mysteries, and Hugh would be asked if his boyfriend wrote mysteries. No other genre was ever considered. . . .

CBS New York (12.10.12)
Aids Weekly Plus
A 2010 study of 181 ZIP codes in New York City examined the rates of HIV/AIDS, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and hepatitis B, which are sexually transmitted, and two infections—hepatitis C and TB—that are not sexually transmitted. The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene reported that concurrent infections of STDs, hepatitis C, and TB plague many areas of the city.
ZIP codes in the Bronx comprised 68 percent of the areas with the highest concentration of multiple STDs. Results of the study placed ZIP code 10474—Hunts Point, in the Bronx—in the top 20 percent for hepatitis C, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HIV/AIDS infections. The Tremont section of the Bronx, ZIP code 10475, was in the top 20 percent for all seven diseases. Almost half of the residents in Tremont are below the federal poverty line. Nineteen other ZIP codes in the South Bronx, North Manhattan, and north-central Brooklyn had high rates of poverty and ranked in the top 20 percent for HIV/AIDS, chlamydia, and gonorrhea.
Thirteen Manhattan ZIP codes reported HIV/AIDS rates in the top 20 percent: Chelsea-Hell's Kitchen, Central Harlem-Morningside Heights, East Harlem, Washington Heights-Inwood, and Greenwich Village-SoHo. The top 20 percent rates of HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C occurred in 23 ZIP codes in South Bronx, north central Brooklyn, northern Manhattan, Chelsea-Hell's Kitchen, and the Rockaways in Queens.
The areas of New York City that were hit hardest by hepatitis B and TB were characterized by large foreign-born populations. These include Flushing Clearview, West Queens, Bayside-Little Neck, Ridgewood-Forest Hills, Sunset Park, Bensonhurst-Bay Ridge, and Borough Park in Brooklyn.
Staten Island was the only area of New York City with no ZIP codes in the top 20 percent for concurrent infection with STDs.

Charged with planning a meeting with attendees from around the world? If so, join the crowd. In Houston alone, there are more than 3,000 local businesses, government offices, and non-profit organizations involved in global commerce in more than 130 foreign countries, and hosting meetings with international delegates has become the norm for many organizations. The success of a gathering with global attendees can largely rest on a meeting planner's ability to keep up international protocols and travel standards.
While meeting planners shouldn't have to immerse themselves in books on global etiquette, there are some basic areas that should be considered:
- Keep an eye on international travel requirements.
Stay on top of new Homeland Security measures. As of January 23, 2007, citizens from Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, and Bermuda must present a passport to enter the United States by air — with potential for more documentation to be required in the future.
Don't spring any last-minute meeting surprises. Give meeting attendees from other countries ample time to organize their personal documents in preparation for travel. Also, build in conference rates that will cover pre- and post-meeting stays. Many international attendees will want to arrive early to acclimate to the time zone and recover from jet lag, and they may linger an extra day or two (often a necessity if your meeting is in a smaller city with limited international flights).
International travelers also may be uncomfortable driving in an unfamiliar city, particularly if they are accustomed to different traffic rules. Arranging a pickup at the airport through a destination management company can ease the transition for travelers.
- Choose a venue that caters to global travelers.
Find out if the host hotel offers international power and phone jack adapters in its guest rooms. Does it offer currency exchange for foreign travelers to obtain a small amount of U.S. dollars for cabs and other minor expenses? At InterContinental Houston, guests can watch the news from their home country on their in-room television. They can also secure their hometown newspaper upon request.
Also, now that many U.S. hotels have become nonsmoking yet many international travelers still smoke, ask if your venue has a complement of smoking rooms, and how they accommodate smokers. Also give folks sufficient break time to go out and smoke if they need to.
It's also helpful for planners to provide some information about the city, including dining, entertainment, and local sites of interest if the attendees will have some free time.
- Understand the expectation levels of your conferees.
Provide a written meeting agenda for each attendee to ensure that everyone understands the expectations and goals of the meeting, keeping in mind international attendees bring to a meeting a different set of expectations. While some cultures, such as those of Asia and Latin America, tend to be more relationship-focused, others, like those of the U.S. and Britain, are more priority-driven and focused on results.
Also, if you have attendees coming from multiple time zones, it can be easier for guests to book their hotels electronically instead of making an international call.
- Be aware of the complexities of global shipping.
Shipping items for international meetings can be overwhelming, with duties, customs issues, and meticulous paperwork coming into play. Find out how much time is required to receive items from another country in preparation for a meeting.
Conversely, consider the amount of paperwork and materials conferees will need to take home with them. Plan on behalf of attendees how these items will be shipped back to their home country.
- Proper protocol extends to food and staffing services.
Proper food selection is a critical component of conducting a smooth-flowing business meeting with international conferees.
Let the hotel know any special food and beverage requirements your international attendees may have. For example, guests from the Middle East might not eat meat or root vegetables such as onions, carrots, and potatoes. Partner with a chef who is experienced in catering to international guests. Also, consider their dining habits. If you have a large contingent coming from South America, for example, they may be accustomed to eating later at night than is the norm in the U.S. Notify the hotel so they can be sure to keep their food outlets open later than usual, and let them know as soon as possible if you plan any late-night banquets.
Planners also should have on hand information on how they can contact the local consulate in case of an emergency, such as an accident, illness, or lost passport. Planners also can contact the local Consulate General's office of the country in question for country-specific protocols.
If your group includes people from cultures that may require something the hotel is not used to providing, such as all male servers, be sure the hotel staff understands what is going on so they won't be put in an uncomfortable position.
Above all, be aware that meetings with global delegates present their own unique set of challenges and opportunities. Take the time to understand the needs of international attendees to ensure a productive and inclusive meeting experience.
David Bennett is director of conference services for the AAA Four Diamond InterContinental Houston. The property frequently hosts conferences with international attendees and offers specialized amenities for travelers from abroad.

Over the past 40 years, college wrestling programs have been in a frequently unsuccessful fight for their lives.
Nearly half of the 147 Division I wrestling programs that existed in 1982 are gone.
Athletic directors would lop off wrestling teams, then hide behind the rationale of having to meet gender equality rules mandated by Title IX, which became federal law in 1982.
The truth is most schools get rid of non-revenue sports such as wrestling to indulge excesses in football and men's basketball, which eat up 78 percent of men's sports budgets at the Football Bowl Subdivision universities.
Of course, they could cut the football recruiting budget to something less than the GNP of Sweden and have enough money to keep men's wrestling and add women's wrestling, but that's another story.
This one is that the loss of wrestling from the Olympics would provide another convenient reason to drop the sport — a better one, in many ways, because it would steer clear of gender issues.
"It will give athletic directors with tight budgets a new excuse," former Olympic wrestler Jim Scherr said. "Over a decade or two, the impact will be significant."
The good news, according to statistics from the National Wrestling Coaches Association, is the bloodletting has slowed. Only nine programs have disappeared from Division I since 2002, leaving 77, and there is a net gain of 49 at all college levels over the past 13 years. High school participation has grown by 40,000 over the past decade.
"Our sport's vital signs are very healthy," NWCA Executive Director Mike Moyer said.
Yet Moyer concedes the importance for its future health of having the sport in the Olympics.
"There is no doubt that a strong Olympic movement is important to keeping wrestling strong at every level from the grass roots to the collegiate," he said.
Scherr's brother, Bill, a 1988 Olympic bronze medalist, said he frequently would emphasize in talks to educators "it was in the interest of the country to have wrestling programs in schools because it is an Olympic sport."
The decision Tuesday by the International Olympic Committee executive board recommending the sport be dropped from the Summer Games after 2016 has provoked such a widespread firestorm, the IOC's leaders felt compelled to build a couple of firebreaks Wednesday.
IOC President Jacques Rogge of Belgium, whose 12-year reign ends at the September meeting that will determine the sports on the 2020 program, said he would meet with the president of the International Wrestling Federation, ostensibly to discuss how wrestling can improve its chances for retention.
IOC Vice President Thomas Bach of Germany, considered the front-runner to succeed Rogge, told reporters, "Keep in mind a final decision has not been taken."
At a May meeting, the 15-member executive board will decide which of eight candidate sports, including wrestling, to recommend for one available spot in 2020. The whole IOC membership, now 101, will vote on the issue in September.
For the IOC to reverse itself on wrestling would be a startling admission of fallibility for an organization whose self-selected members believe they govern the Olympics by divine right.
But it also would be a chance for the IOC to show some rare humility and a pragmatic way to get out of the mess created by a decision that has outraged media and wrestling officials in many countries — notably Russia, Armenia, Georgia, Turkey, Iran, the former Soviet republics in Central Asia and the United States.
"The strong reaction we have seen in the media worldwide doesn't come close to the feelings of rage people in those countries have about this decision," said a high-ranking official of an international federation whose sport remained in the Olympics.
Many leaders of the U.S. college wrestling community, including Iowa coach and Olympic champion Tom Brands, have decided to focus on helping wrestling retain its Olympic place rather than worry about the potential effect on college wrestling.
"This could be a terrible setback," said U.S. wrestling Hall of Famer Ken Kraft, the former Northwestern coach, who has watched Division I programs disappear. "The sport has a lot of potential. But when you take away the Olympics ..."

Diners at Moto relish the comforts of roasted cauliflower, steamed artichoke, mac and cheese, candles, and live music in this small, charmingly trapezoidal space.
Bad service, bland food – Start with the worst waiter ever. Did not bring us drinks for a looooooong time and then preceded to not be able to read the board, spilled wine on one of us and then dabbed it with his apron. No apologies, then proceeded to ignore us and most stuff we asked for. This place is not big, so what was the disconnect?
The food was pretty bland and boring. Horrible coffee
Also, I'm all for rustic and classic looking, but a rusty sink in the WC? I don't mind old timey, as long as it doesn't feel dirty.
Only eaten here once but had a great experience. I LOVE the staff, very friendly and approachable.
Food is affordable and good.
Just go!! – Just thinking about this place makes my mouth water! It's really cheap, fun food in a cafeteria style setting. I love meat, maybe that's why i love it so much. We discovered this place by accident, mostly because of the smell wafting from the front door as it opens and closes. Just go. I recommend to anyone.
Spilled wine, NO APOLOGY! – Moto is a great restaurant for its ambience, the range of menu items, and its small but well chosen wine and beer lists. We have really enjoyed our experiences there, and hadn't even had the service issues some have mentioned - until last night. Three of us sat at the bar for a meal and a bottle of wine. I ordered the vegetable risotto, which was a complete disappointment compared to their other dishes - mostly peppers and uncooked mushrooms and squash.
But that wasn't the worst part: as the bartender put the dessert menu down, he moved our bottle of wine and knocked over my husband's wine glass, spilling red wine all over me. I was wearing a white blouse, of course, but the bartender didn't apologize at all! He gave us napkins, water and salt but never once even said he was sorry. So it goes without saying that neither did he offer my husband another glass of wine, even though the bottle we were drinking was also sold by the glass, or offer any other compensation whatsoever.
Not replacing the spilled wine showed a complete lack of restaurant experience, but not even apologizing or acknowledging his error shows a lack of respect for customers. Most of us learned the importance of apologizing in kindergarten - not this guy! I won't return to Moto, as I don't wish to support an establishment that entrusts customer care to such unprofessional hacks.
Additionally, when we ordered the wine at the beginning of the meal, we ordered a Cotes du Rhone. But he trotted out a Gigondas, which, while a Rhone wine, cost much more than the Cotes du Rhone that we ordered - at first I thought it was a simple error, but its clear that he was being dishonest in addition to unprofessional.
Cash Only – It says in the Restaurant Info that we accept credit cards.. but we don't. Please be advised. Thank you!
Great Artsy Charm – I don't know who wrote the review below, but I don't know why you would go there for dinner, it's a brunch place to me, period. The atmosphere had the vaudevillian/hobo/hipster/antique vibe going for it, which I liked, although you can find that anywhere these days. My ham and eggs dish was terrific, with that yum yum crunchy strip of foccacia or whatever on the side. The dessert was the most outstanding as my friends and I dove into our date cake slice with toffe sauce and cream..soooo good!
The service however was not good because there was one waitress to the whole place and the bartender obviously wasn't going to help her out. Also, you have to treck out to a shady part of brooklyn (well, a shadier part of brooklyn) to get to the place. But that's probably part of its charm, that not every art school grad sporting an asymmetrical haircut and rocking their converses knows about Moto.
IF YOU WANT A LEAN CUISINE FROZEN DINNER, GO HERE! – Unbelievable that such a quaint?yet packed?place could have the worst food ever. Both my friend and I ordered their special: his the vegetable risotto and mine the homemade meatloaf. We couldn't believe when both of our dishes came out and were nothing short of Tyson TV dinners. The risotto's "fresh" vegetables were none other than those of BIRDS EYE! You know how we know?! We asked! And the bartender actually told us that they were a frozen mix! 14 bucks for frozen peas and carrots. To top it off, my meatloaf was a Tyson tv tray meal. The marinara sauce was tomato paste and garlic, still in the shape of the can it came from. The meat, if it was indeed meat, was cold and wet. Disgusting meal, bad music. OK wine. Personally, I think this place is just a joke. Trying to con hipsters into thinking it's the coolest place in the world and ever so hip. If that's the case, then this place rocks. Sock it to 'em, Moto! But if it's for real and thinks it can get away overcharging for bad food and cramping us in, then Moto, I'll see you in hell.
GREAT BRUNCH! – I go to Moto every weekend to pick up brunch. It is right down the street from my apartment and they have amazing apple pancakes. The decor is very interesting it is like youre living in another century! They make a good cup of coffee and the service is fast and friendly. I love Moto!
Has gone downhill – We started going to Moto 2 years ago and loved the charm, the food and the friendly service. But lately we have been extremely disappointed. The food has not been as good (my panini was oily, the stuffed eggs w/anchovy was not as delicious as usual). But the thing that upsets us the most is the service. It has become very busy and yet there is only one waitress. We sat for a good 20 minutes before the waitress finally asked us what we wanted to drink. We used to love the place, so I hope the owner gets some more help. Maybe we'll give it another shot. Not sure.
not so great – Moto is a charming place, romantic, rustic, and right under the subway. It also helps that it is in South Williamsburg and not Williamsburg proper. Still, it left me wanting more. The waitress had little knowledge of the wine but made up for it, somewhat, by offering me two samples of white, neither were particularly good. As for the food, the artichoke served with mayo was excellent and the eggs with anchovies were nice. I was very excited for my entree, pork ribs with herbs de provence, sadly the meat was tough and the salad bland. My partner ordered the chicken and I wish I would have done the same. For dessert we shared the grilled doughnuts which were great, but would have been sublime with a touch of creme fraiche and a sprig of mint.

Present Perfect Cake
Material List
- 1 Duff White Buttercream Icing, 3.5 lb. tub
- 1 Duff Anodized Aluminum Cake Pan, 6" Square
- 1 Anodized Aluminum Cake Pan, 10" Square
- Cornstarch
- Serrated Knife
- Stainless Steel Pastry or Pizza Cutter
- Craft Paint Brush and Small Dish of Water
- X-Acto Knife
- Rolling Pin
- Ribbon or Decorative Foil
- 4 Cake Dowels, ¼"
- 1 Square Cake Board, 6"
- 1 Square Base, 14"
Project Instructions
Roll out enough white fondant to cover the cake, about ¼" thick. Smooth the fondant down and around the cake and remove excess with a pastry or pizza cutter.
Roll out red fondant so it's ¼" thick. Cut 5-6" strips with a pastry or pizza cutter. (The strips should be slightly longer than the height of your cake.)
To make sure they stay put, use a paint brush to lightly dab the strips with water before adhering them to the cake.
Follow Duff Cake Mix packaging instructions to make the remaining three boxes of batter. Divide into two 10" square pans. Bake per packaging instructions. Let cool.
While they're cooling, wrap the base with ribbon or decorative foil.
Remove the tops of cakes with a serrated knife, remove from pans and turn upside down.
Stack the cakes on your decorated square base. Time to crumb coat these cakes too.
Roll out enough red fondant to cover the cake, about ¼" thick. Smooth the fondant and remove any excess.
Roll out enough green fondant to provide one 7" square, one 11" square, four 2x6" strips and four 2x10" strips.
Cover the 6" cake with the 7" fondant square. Cover the 10" cake with the 11" square.
Fold the fondant down around the top of the cake tops and smooth out any indentations or creases.
Lightly brush the strips with water and secure them to the sides of the cake to complete the box tops.
Decorate the sides of the cakes by cutting out festive shapes with fondant cutters.
To add interest to the base of the cake, have fun with fondant balls and narrow ribbon-like strips.
Insert the cake wires into the cake and poke fondant balls onto the ends.
To make real-looking ornaments for the top of your cake, roll fondant balls (2.5" in diameter) until they're smooth. Next, mold white fondant to create the shape of delicate ornament caps. Spray with metallic silver graffiti spray, and let dry before adding to the ornaments.
Stack the cake gift boxes using dowel rods, which provide stability to the tiered cakes.
How to Use Dowel Rods in Your Cake Design:
Tip: Most cake designs will only require 3-4 dowels to adequately support the structure.
Insert a ¼" dowel into the cake. Mark the dowel to indicate the height of the cake.
Shorten the dowels with a serrated kitchen knife.
Insert the dowels all the way into the cake. They should be flush with the horizon line of the cake.
Stack the next cake tier and cake board onto the dowels.
Repeat steps a-d for each subsequent tier. If your cake is taller than three tiers, insert an additional dowel that's the same height as the finished cake. Tip: Sharpen the end of the dowel like a pencil, then insert directly into the center of the cake and cake boards.
Tip: Make the bow one or two days before the rest of the cake so it has time to dry and its shape sets.
Roll out enough red fondant to make a 3x7" strip. Fold the ends of the strip inward, so they meet at the center. This will be the body of your bow. Tip: You can help the fondant hold its shape while it dries by propping up with paper toweling or plastic wrap.
Cut a 1-1/2" wide strip that's long enough to wrap around the body of the bow. Secure this strip in the back of the bow.
Cut two more 3x6" strips to simulate the tails of the bow.
Attach the bow to the cake after it has fully dried. Don't forget to brush the bow with water so it really sticks! Press for a minute or two until it is fixed firmly in place.

Ford, Amazon, Subway and the History Channel are the "buzziest" brands in the United States, according to the latest bi-annual list from YouGov's BrandIndex.
The U.S. survey is based on interviews with 20,000 people each week and measures a brand's buzz, which includes whether people have heard anything positive or negative about the brand in the media or through word of mouth. The company issues a new list every six months.
Buzziest American brands
1) Ford
2) Amazon
3) Subway
4) History Channel
5) Lowe's
7) Walgreens
8) YouTube
9) Kindle
10) Cheerios
Some of the names are notable in that they can be classified as self-empowerment brands, advertising executive Donny Deutsch said on the TODAY show."The consumer has control," when it comes to Kindle, Subway and You Tube, he said. "This is a lot of the trend that is going on."

The mid-year BrandIndex survey also compiles a list of brands with the most-improved buzz from six months ago. This time around, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and J.P. Morgan win the awards for making the best rebound. In part, that boost can be tied to the improved economy, according to the survey researchers.
Most-improved buzz
1) Goldman Sachs
2) Bank of America
3) J.P. Morgan
4) American Airlines
5) BlackBerry
6) Galaxy
8) Kodak

"Samsung is the strongest international performer for the second year running—the technology brand appears in the Top 10 lists for eleven out of fourteen countries monitored."
