Sorry, found LV one in The Cake Decorating Company.
Sorry, found LV one in The Cake Decorating Company.
Thank you very much!! Bashini! Those are the exact LV sheets are was referring to. Needed them last month for a bday cake. Searched all over the place but just could not find them. Now I know where to buy them. I wish they also had the white LV design and the Gucci one. Just trying to prepare myself for when I'll need them for a cake.
Thanks again for your help.:-)
I have only ever seen the colourful design type ones you mention. I can see how designer ones would be really good for bags but I'm not sure of their legallity? Unless they are made/authorised by the brand wouldn't they be 'fake' and breaking copyright laws? If they are being produced above board the companies themselves should know where to get them so contacting them directly might be a way forward?
I've actually seen a US website with the designer sugar sheets. The delivery cost was to the UK was even more expensive than the product itself lol! I'm just guessing here, but for a cake decorating company to be selling it on their website then, they must be authorised to right?

You would like to think a company like The Cake Decorating Company wouldn't be selling things that didn't have a license from the trademark holder (if it was coming direct from China I'd be less inclined to think that!) but an email/letter from them saying it is ok to use on a cake for sale (assuming that's what you plan to do) might be good to get to be on the safe side?
I have no legal experience but should there ever be a problem that should help you show you did try and make sure it was legal to use... what do you think?
Hi Claire and Cake Chaos, my name is Anita and I make cakes under the name of Tinkerbell cakes. I am based in Doncaster, so maybe Yorkshire is going to take over the cake baking world lol.
Its so cool that we finally have a UK thread on here, I find that most of the recipes are in American weights (cups ect), just doesnt make any sense lol. Any way just wanted to say hi and here come the Yorkshire cake lasses mmmwwwaaaahhhhhhh xxxx
Hi! Another new member here :) I don't have a business (yet) - I'm purely a hobby baker although I'd love to have my own business someday, just trying to learn as much as I can and build up a portfolio etc. I'm sure this thread will come in incredibly handy, a lot of the American recipes confuse the life out of me!
Sorry if this is a rehash of previous questions (I haven't had time to read through the last 200 pages yet!) but what kind of buttercream do you all use? I have only ever had one cupcake in the UK which wasn't a icing sugar/butter buttercream, I think it was Italian meringue buttercream and it was lovely but I've yet to try to make any of the meringue buttercreams myself. Do any of you use what the American recipes call 'shortening' in your buttercreams? I hear it helps with crusting and stability but I'm worried it would impair the flavour when compared with an all butter buttercream. I sometimes struggle to get my buttercream as stiff as I'd like for piping purposes without using a ridiculous amount of sugar, and nobody likes a grainy buttercream!
Wow, that was a long first post! :) Looking forward to learning from you all!
I haven't made carrot cake before (can you believe it!) And I want to try it for my bf's nan's 70th b'day on Saturday. Does anyone have either a tried or tested recipe or a recipe they can recommend? I have lots of books but don't want to waste ingredients if it's not very good!
What Lisa!?!! I love this one from bbc good food, not a lot of rise so might want to scale it up by an egg. Never covered it in fondant but it should be okay: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/4425/carrot-cake
I love this one in BBC Good Food. Done it many times.http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3229/yummy-scrummy-carrot-cake It is very easy.
I use a normal cream cheese, orange juice and icing sugar topping.
I tried Mitch's as I've got her book, I was in a hurry and forgot the zests in the cake so I made a simple syrup with light brown sugar and vanilla flavouring. Going to use SMBC in between the layers and white chocolate ganache. Smells good so will let you know what the family think!
My name is Helena and I've recently joined the forum! I manage Cupcake Boxes, Cases and Kits and Borthwick Hill Bakery here in the UK. I'm based in Newcastle upon Tyne and have really only been baking for a couple of years but have now well and truly got the bug!
My husband and I launched Cupcake Boxes, Cases and Kits in response to what we feel were overpriced cupcake supplies, particularly cupcake boxes, baking kits, edible icing toppers and cake pop supplies here in the UK. It's been a huge success and is now taking up way more of my time than the bakery does!
I'm looking forward to chatting to you all!

Windows 7 Home Premium
Wireless Optical Suddenly Not Working
I was using a Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500, which has worked flawlessly for me until now, when it suddenly stopped working. I was simply watching a video embedded in a webpage when it suddenly stopped late on the night of October 3rd (a few hours ago). I've downloaded or installed nothing. The mouse is in use 18 inches from the tower. It's plugged directly into the tower. Thinking I would reinstall the device driver I uninstalled it, but now Windows won't recognize my mouse at all. I hope this is the proper forum to be posting this issue. I would happily give any other information needed and I would be so grateful for help with this.

This usually can be resolved in one of two ways. Either the battery went dead, or it needs to be reconnected to the wireless dock/reciever that's connected to your computer.

What do you use as a DNS Server? do you have a local server in your office?
When you get the problem again try browsing to a website using an IP Address: i.e. 184.108.40.206 < EduGeek.Net IP Address
We are having some problems with our office network and Im a bit stuck as to what to do as BT say that the internet access to the router is all working fine.
However the internet seems to drop out intermittently. Sometimes for longer periods sometimes for shorter periods. Websites dont load but Skype always seems to stay online.
We have approx 25 devices connected to the network.
Can anyone shed some light on what maybe happening with this network or how to fix it?
What do you use as a DNS Server? do you have a local server in your office?
When you get the problem again try browsing to a website using an IP Address: i.e. 22.214.171.124 < EduGeek.Net IP Address
Thanks for your reply, I will try that next time it goes off.
We dont have a server as such we have a PC that holds our files but its got Windows 7 Pro on, The router goes to a switch and some computers run from there then another cable going from that switch to another switch running more devices the other side of the office.
Ok... So your router is the device that gives out your IP Addresses and forwards reuqests to a DNS Server handled by your ISP.
Give it ago when it goes down again with the IP, although I imagine your router may just be throwing a fit and causing you problems. (what router do you have?)
Yes thats correct.
I will give it a go and let you know. The router is a BT 2Wire Gateway supplied by BT.
Reason I ask is that I was having similar problems the other week.
If it is still down, or if it happens again maybe launch command prompted and try pinging an IP Address or/ Domain Name if you get no response then do a Trace Route]
tracert google.co.uk
and see where it drops out.
1) Is skype still connected during the downtime as per your first post?
2) also, when it goes down again can you login to your router and check the status of the WAN Connection.
3) and if there is a log, can you extract that also.
If your using BT Business I found that their DNS servers seem overloaded. This results in timeouts and webpages not loading etc. Even though the actual internet connection is ok. I switched our DNS over to OpenDNS and things improved markedly.
1) Login to your router
2) Change your WAN DNS Settings to either of the following
Google DNS
Hi All,
Thanks for your replys.
We tried setting the DNS to OpenDNS and the internet was worse, on and off like a yoyo, then we tried changing to Google's and shutdown the network. After restarting, it worked super fast... but then it went again... and now its back... I will keep you updated!
What are you using for a firewall/router in the office? If it's something like an ASA or Pix, it might only be licensed for so many concurrent connections. Skype will keep a persistent connection to its servers, so the firewall will never timeout that computer's session. With web traffic though, you're not sending/receiving until you click on a link or refresh a page. The session you had will timeout on the firewall, and the next person to try and get out will be able to.

The Winterpills | Music Review
- Login to add to Favorites
- 0 Comments
This Northampton-based act avoids the insincerity that plagues most mainstream emo-pop acts. They don't scream their angst; they whisper it on simple acoustic chords, minimal drumming, and piano parts so quiet you miss them on your first listen. The joint vocals of Philip Price and Flora Reed are both disturbing and oddly hopeful, like an echo in an empty church. The combined effect has a way of stirring up deeply personal memories, and even new listeners will immediately feel an intimate familiarity with the tracks on these albums. The Winterpills have joined the ranks of Elliot Smith, Sufjan Stevens, and Nick Drake — artists who consistently find that meandering point where pain is somehow comforting. The sound of freshly betrayed innocence, it's music for the morning after. These are perfect albums for anyone who has had a tough winter.

Game: Banjo-Kazooie
Song: Spiral Mountain
Composer: Grant Kirkhope
Above: Spiral Mountain from Banjo-Kazooie
Ah, the sweet country pluckins of Banjo-Kazooie. For a game filled with irritating noises and characters who never shut the hell up, it's got a surprisingly catchy, borderline heartwarming soundtrack that'll soothe even the most burningest of rages.
This particular song, which plays just outside of Banjo's house, will one day save me from having a heart attack. Something about the pleasant banjo sound and down-home melody calm my nerves and bring me back from the edge of pure madness. It may be early in the game, but I daresay it's the best song of the whole soundtrack.
Above: The game's opening is a right hillbilly hoedown! Take it away Mumbo
Above: Click Clock Wood sounds like they lifted pieces of Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64, but hey, it's still a great track
Interesting note about the BK music that you've likely noticed by now - there are a lot of animal effects throughout. Not sure why Kirkhope used shrieking animals as instruments, but it's certainly a unique choice. Something that doesn't immediately come across in YouTube videos, however, is the "interactivity" of BK's music. When you swim underwater, for example, the area's music will slightly change to convey a more aquatic, lightweight feel.
Above: Spiral Mountain, as heard while swimming underwater
FASCINATING! I still think Banjo Kazooie holds up, even if Tooie and then Nuts & Bolts never did anything for me. In fact, I still recommend downloading the XBLA version and having a quick run through the whole thing. It's kind of a relic and doesn't stand up to severe scrutiny, but in a time of mascot-filled, collectible-heavy platformers, nobody did it better that Rare. Well, other than Nintendo.
Game music of the day: Ninja Gaiden III
Lava Cave by Miya, Nakabai and Shigeno
Game music of the day: Snake Eater
Snake Eater theme by Hibino and Harrell
Game music of the day: Guitar Hero
Even Rats by The Slip

A few weeks ago I was reminiscing about my favorite science fiction book from my childhood. It was an anthology of short stories, and some intense Googling determined it was out of print. My search led me to the local library, and after poking around for just a few minutes, I cancelled my Kindle Unlimited subscription.Read more

Amazon Offers Indie Bookstores a Small Cut to Sell eBooks, But Will Anyone Bite?
It's no secret that "Amazon" is a dirty word among independent booksellers.

HOW E-COMMERCE MAKES INDUSTRIAL REAL ESTATE GREENOctober 13, 2014 on 5:13 pm | In Act Locally, all, Green Building, Green Workplace, Snapshot, Solutions, Uncategorized | 2 Comments
They grew and greened our ports, and now everyone is bringing their business to Southern California. We have set an example in growing business through green and efficient building.
The Pacific Maritime Association's website show that in the first quarter of 2014, the Southern California port complex increased its market share on the West Coast by 2 percentage points, to 72%. Oakland's market share was flat and the Seattle-Tacoma gateway lost 2 percentage points to 16% market share.
Port growth indicates more distribution center development will be needed. New construction is designed with maximum efficiency in mind.
Renters, including traditional retailers and e-commerce retailers, want large warehouses of 500,000 to more than 1 million square feet. Properties capable of accommodating large facilities simply aren't available close to the coast, so almost all of the new construction in Southern California is occurring in the Inland Empire. Amazon has built out there, and of the 17 mega-warehouse properties under construction in the Inland Empire, seven of them have an e-commerce fulfillment component.
Compared to traditional warehouses, e-commerce facilities are far more efficient and functional. The buildings tend to be larger, with more height clearance and heavier flooring infrastructure to support higher stacking of goods and hanging conveyors.
E-commerce facilities are also more labor-intensive, generating one job per 1,000 square feet of space, while the traditional warehouse generates one job per 3,500 square feet of space, thus e-commerce fulfillment centers require many more employee parking spaces. The new style is more efficient.
As the Inland Empire grows, look for the rise of Inland ports. Ferris and Poway have lead the way in green warehouse construction, and now both markets are going strong.
Expect Casa Grande, Arizona to see strong development in the coming years.
East of the West – Chicago; northern and central New Jersey; eastern Pennsylvania; Dallas; Atlanta; and southern Florida and Texas are strong industrial markets.
As these industrial hubs continue to grow, they will set examples in energy efficiency – both in kilowatt usage and manpower.
COOL TIME-LAPSE VIDEO – THE GERALD DESMOND BRIDGE PROJECT > THE I-710 CONNECTION ROAD DEMOLITIONSeptember 26, 2014 on 8:34 am | In Curious, Green Building, Green Workplace, Greenhouse Gas, Snapshot, Solutions, Uncategorized, Water | 2 Comments
The Gerald Desmond Bridge in Long Beach is a through arch bridge that carries four lanes from the end of Interstate 710 across the Cerritos Channel to Terminal Island. The bridge is named after Gerald Desmond, a civic leader and former city attorney for the City of Long Beach.
Built in the 1960s (with Bethlehem Steel), the Gerald Desmond Bridge was not designed to handle today's supertankers and traffic volumes and it has been deteriorating, so it is being replaced.
The new bridge, due for completion in 2016, will allow access to the port for even the tallest container ships. It will be the first long-span cable-stayed bridge in California. (A cable-stayed bridge has one or more towers (or pylons), from which cables support the bridge deck.)
Time-lapse video featuring new footage of the SB I-710 Freeway connector demolition work that took place from May 23 – June 22, 2014. The connector to WB Ocean Blvd. was demolished to make room for the new bridge foundations.
In order for the bridge to be so tall, long approaches will be required to allow heavy trucks to cross the structure. A joint venture of Parsons Transportation Group and HNTB performed preliminary engineering for the main span and the approaches.
The current bridge proved to be obsolete in March 2012, when the 155-foot (47 m) vertical clearance of the bridge was not enough to allow the Fabiola to enter the Port of Long Beach. At 12,562 TEUs, the Fabiola was, to date, the largest container ship to date to enter the Port of Long Beach. The height restriction prevented the ship from docking at the Mediterranean Shipping Company dock; it docked at the Hanjin terminal instead.
The Gerald Desmond Bridge will continue to be a vital link in the nation's trade system and a major commuter corridor.

GREEN BUSINESS = WORKING FROM HOMEAugust 2, 2014 on 7:53 pm | In all, Green Workplace, Solutions, Trends, Uncategorized | 2 Comments
by Jodi Summers
Corporations are learning that their employees are happier if they work at home at least one day a week. Going one step beyond, for some careers and small business owners the home office and related tax deductions have become a legitimate tax deduction.
According to data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation, in 1997 7% of workers (9.2 million individuals) reported working at home at least one day a week. By 2010, that total had grown to 9.4% (13.4 million), an increase of more than four million or 35%.
The geographic distribution of those workers who primarily work at home (most days) shows interesting geographic clustering. Using data from the 2012 Census Bureau American Community Survey, the map above charts the share of the workforce (age 16 and over) who report working at home. The highest shares are found in the West, the Northwest, the Upper Midwest and New England. The state of Vermont has the highest share (7.1%), followed by Montana (6.5%), Colorado (6.5%), and Oregon (6.3%). Louisiana has the lowest share at 2.3%.
POLB IS NAMED THE BEST GREEN SEAPORTJuly 4, 2014 on 7:46 am | In Act Locally, Global Statistics, Green Workplace, Greenhouse Gas, Snapshot, Solutions, Uncategorized, Water | 2 Comments
Bravo! The Port of Long Beach has been recognized as the "Best Green Seaport" in the world at the 28th annual Asian Freight & Supply Chain Awards.
The Port of Long Beach is one of the world's premier seaports, a primary gateway for trans-Pacific trade and a trailblazer in innovative goods movement, safety and environmental stewardship. The Port is served by 140 shipping lines with connections to 217 seaports worldwide. A major economic engine for the region, the Port handles trade valued at more than $180 billion each year and supports hundreds of thousands of Southern California jobs.
In 2005, the Port of Long adopted a "Green Port Policy," focusing reducing its impact on the community, wildlife and the environment…with unmitigated success. The POLB is proud of the dramatic improvement in air and water quality thanks to an array of environmental initiatives that include the Clean Trucks, Green Flag Vessel Speed Reduction and Technology Advancement programs.
"This is an honor to be named the AFSCA's Best Green Seaport. The Port of Long Beach has made great strides in reducing air pollution and improving water quality, and we are committed to doing even more," said Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners President Doug Drummond.
The Port's growth policy has had tremendous results. The total number of containers handled at the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles in May increased by 5.6% on a year-over-year basis to 1,288,652 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units). This was the 14th consecutive month of at least 1 million TEUs for the San Pedro Bay ports.
The Port of Long Beach's Green Port Policy is an aggressive, comprehensive and coordinated approach to reduce the negative impacts of Port operations. The Green Port Policy, adopted in 2005, serves as a guide for decision making and established a framework for environmentally friendly Port operations. The policy's five guiding principles are:
- Protect the community from harmful environmental impacts of Port operations.
- Distinguish the Port as a leader in environmental stewardship and compliance.
- Promote sustainability.
- Employ best available technology to avoid or reduce environmental impacts.
- Engage and educate the community.
The Green Port Policy includes six basic program elements, each with an overall goal:
- Wildlife – Protect, maintain or restore aquatic ecosystems and marine habitats.
- Air – Reduce harmful air emissions from Port activities.
- Water – Improve the quality of Long Beach Harbor waters.
- Soils/Sediments – Remove, treat, or render suitable for beneficial reuse contaminated soils and sediments in the Harbor District.
- Community Engagement – Interact with and educate the community regarding Port operations and environmental programs.
- Sustainability – Implement sustainable practices in design and construction, operations, and administrative practices throughout the Port.
The "Green Seaport" honor of the Asian Freight & Supply Chain Awards is reserved for ports that have "demonstrated compliance with green freight transport regulations and environmental standards; investment in green initiatives, technology and action plans; incorporation of environmental requirements in strategic planning; use of a policy on reducing fuel emissions from freight handling operations; and ongoing training of staff in green initiatives and in measures to lower carbon footprints."
The awards are based on an annual poll of thousands of professionals in freight transportation services. Awards also are given in many categories, including best shipping lines, container terminals, air cargo terminals, airports and rail haulers.

GREEN AND OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN LEASING OFFICE SPACEDecember 28, 2013 on 8:28 am | In all, Curious, Green Workplace, Uncategorized | 1 Comment
The right work environment makes all the difference. Google, regularly voted the best company to work for in America, seeks to create the perfect work environment.
Google's goal (try saying that 5x fast) is to create the healthiest work environments possible so Google masterminds can thrive and innovate. From concept through design, construction and operations, the search engine's goal is to create a brick + mortar workplace that optimizing access to nature, clean air and daylight.
To keep the Google brain trust at peak performance, they avoid materials that contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other known toxins that may harm human health. Furniture, carpet, flooring, toilets > all green, and augmented by dual stage air filtration systems to eliminate plankton-like particles and remaining VOCs, further augmenting indoor air quality. Or, they could Additionally, the location is so fine, they cay just open the west facing windows and let the ocean breeze come rolling through, as it does from 10:30 a.m. – sunset on all days except for Santa Ana conditions.
For those of us with businesses aspiring to be as successful as Google, choosing the right office space is the challenge of balancing present and future needs.
Savvy entrepreneurs looking for office space will ask….
1. Is there room for my company to grow?
If your business is not in the position to take extra space for future growth, try negotiating a shorter lease term or add language to the lease that gives you the first right of negotiation on any adjacent space that becomes vacant.
2. Is it the right location for my key employees?
Be green in commuting. Consider where your key employees live and whether the location is convenient for them. Make them sit too long in traffic, or pick a site away from mass transit and employees will be more likely to jump ship to a business that's more convenient for them.
"When considering a move, you might want to let your key staff weigh in so you don't risk losing them," offers Peter Riguardi of Jones Lang LaSalle commercial real estate.
3. Is the location convenient for clients?
You also want your office to be accessible to clients. If you're located in downtown Santa Monica, your clients are going to be sitting in long lines of traffic, and you're going to be paying a lot of additional parking costs…unless you plan on being walking distance from an Expo line stop. Be easy to find. Make it too difficult for clients to get there and they will go elsewhere. If you leave an urban location for a cheaper space in the suburbs, consider whether the lower expenses will make up for the possible loss of clients. Even in the age of video conferencing and Skype, it's important that face-to-face meetings be manageable.
4. Does this office send the right signal?
Think about the message you want to give to your clients when you select your location. Google's Venice offices – green, innovative, in an ultra hip location blocks from the beach – très cutting edge. In the new millennium, an office space is far more than a collection of cubicles; it also will be a sign to others of how much money you're making. "I've seen companies spend for a lavish space they're very proud of. They invite clients to see it, and the clients wonder if they're paying them too much for their services," Riguardi says. On the other hand, if you don't spend enough, people may wonder about the financial health of your company.
5. Do you need to be green?
Progressive companies are concerned about the environment. Having a "green" office rates well with clients. Green doesn't mean it has to be LEED platinum, green touches can be as simple as putting the lighting and air conditioning on timers so that energy isn't wasted when offices are vacant. An office with a light-colored roof can cut back utility costs by as much as 30% in SoCal.
6. What are possible hidden costs? Calculate the full cost of the space–rent, utilities, construction costs, moving expenses, CAM fees, NNN fees, insurance and other costs that may not be obvious. "You have to look at the costs associated with the move, even restoration of the space you're moving from," Riguardi recommends.
7. Parking.
We live in L.A.; we know how precious parking can be. Depending upon your location, parking can be a hidden cost. Even new Culver City office spaces are adding in $75+ per month per car. Consider the amount of parking available at your proposed location, as well as the potential cost to employees and customers. If parking is tight, is there a place where employees can park so customers get the most convenient spaces? Negotiating special employee rates and validating customers' parking tickets are good ideas, but they need to be worked into the budget.
8. Is the office ADA compliant?
In our progressive times, you need to consider how your space works for handicapped individuals. Check to see that the building is in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. For example, the law states that doors to office suites should be at least 32 inches wide and require fewer than five pounds of force to open, while carpeting in areas open to the public must be secured to the floor with a pile of less than half an inch. You can learn something new every day.
9. Consider sharing an office.
Sharing space with another company saves money not only on the office rent, but also on the cost of common areas like kitchens and bathrooms. Plus, the fact that you're being ultra-efficient makes you seem greener. To best benefit the shared space, it's ideal to divide the space with complementary businesses > an architect with a builder or a PR firm with a Web designer. Draw up a formal agreement between tenants. This agreement can be flexible.
10. What if I sell my company during the course of the lease?
If you hope to sell your company, make sure the lease is clear about owner responsibility. Some leases are written so that the original company and its owners have liability in the future should the future tenant not perform.
11. Pay attention to the terms of renewal.
The last thing you want is to get established in a space, then find at the end of your lease that your landlord is exercising their option to rent the space to someone else or to drastically raise your rents. Although rental rates are usually negotiated at the time of renewal, you also can try in the original contract to cap any increase at no more than 5%. "Real estate is rebounding in many areas, which means rental rates are rising," concludes Julie Clark, a founder of SharedBusinessSpace.com, a national online directory. "If you can control how much, it's a stick in your court."
We know all about Los Angeles office space, and can assist you in your office needs. Please contact Jodi Summers and the SoCal Investment Real Estate Group @ Sotheby's International Realty – firstname.lastname@example.com or 310.392.1211, and let us move forward together.

Where I stayed
We spent Friday evening with Roberto - we went to Santa Monica and walked on the promenade. We had dinner at an Italian Bistro there and were so happy to be spending time with Roberto again.
Saturday morning I got up early and picked Roberto up and we headed up to LAX where he needed to redeem a voucher with American Airlines for a quick trip back to Costa Rica next week. Then we picked Jim up at the hotel and headed out for brunch in Hollywood. Once again - it was unbearably hot and a bit humid. We had planned on walking around and seeing the Chinese Theatre - Kodak Theatre and the Stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Well - we saw a couple - Lucille Ball - was one - and then we decided to get back in the car and do a drive-by on the rest of the sights

13 Is any of you sad? Let him pray. Is he cheerful in mind? Let him sing.
14 Is any man sick among you? Let him bring in the priests of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.
15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick man: and the Lord shall raise him up: and if he be in sins, they shall be forgiven him.
16 Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much.
17 Elias was a man passible like unto us: and with prayer he prayed that it might not rain upon the earth, and it rained not for three years and six months.
18 And he prayed again: and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
19 My brethren, if any of you err from the truth, and one convert him:
20 He must know that he who causeth a sinner to be converted from the error of his way, shall save his soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.
13 Is any of you sad? Let him pray. Is he cheerful in mind? Let him sing.

New research technologies are astonishing.
Imagine this - you want to wake up an animal so quickly and efficiently you do not change its overall sleep. You can't decrease or shift the amount of REM, deep sleep, or how long it rests. You do it by changing the animal's genetics using viruses like finely etched probes which help you turn on neurons with light, delivered by cables so small they don't materially change brain function.

Done i filled out the specs on my profile.
I'm using Firefox and IE - both Browsers give me the same problem.
could it be that i have the wrong drivers installed for "ATI Radeon HD 4250"?

Hi there .. I would think Updating your Driver is always a good idea .. But if this is only happening in Browsers may not help .. How is the performance on other applications ?
|My System Specs

Windows 7 Pro x64 (1), Win7 Pro X64 (2)
In Firefox, Options -> Advanced -> General tab, do you have "use hardware acceleration when available" checked or unchecked? This could affect rendering of fonts depending on the capability of your onboard HD4250, and you might try the alternative to see if that helps or further hurts.
Of course if you have a similar problem in IE it might be a similar issue there.
What version of Catalyst driver do you have installed? As was mentioned already, having current drivers installed is almost always the right thing.
What version of Firefox and IE do you have installed?
There used to be a problem caused by a Microsoft update to IE (KB2670838 I think) that affected font rendering in Firefox when using ATI video. The workaround was to disable GFX.CONTENT.AZURE.ENABLED -> FALSE in ABOUT:CONFIG with Firefox. But I think this has been corrected, although my current Firefox setup shows this still as FALSE (and I'm not having any font rendering problem). I believe this setting is involved with "hardware acceleration" from the video card. Anyway, you might try toggling your setting to see if it helps or hurts.
Finally, you might think about installing a somewhat stronger video card. I see that your motherboard has an PCIe x16 expansion slot, so any decent low-power video card would definitely be an improvement over your onboard HD4250. For example you might consider an HD5450, HD6450, HD7750, etc., either in low-profile (if your case is small form-factor and requires low-profile cards) or full-size.
These three cards are modestly priced (and with increasingly better performance) and do not require external power, and come in low-profile with two brackets, so you can swap a full-size bracket onto a low-profile card for use in a standard mid-tower case which takes full-size expansion cards. Just a thought, as all three of these cards run with the very latest Catalyst drivers, rather than the "legacy" driver that your HD4250 uses.

Using angular-position-orbital-angular-momentum entangled photons, we study angular two-photon interference in a scheme in which entangled photons are made to pass through apertures in the form of double angular slits, and using this scheme, we demonstrate an entangled two-qubit state that is based on the angular-position correlations of entangled photons. The entanglement of the two-qubit state is quantified in terms of concurrence. These results provide an additional means for preparing entangled quantum states for use in quantum information protocols.

Update treats the Galaxy S5 to even faster camera and gallery apps, improved fingerprint scanning
Rolling out under the G900FXXU1ANE2 version name, the firmware update does not only improve the precision of the feature, it also brings some enhancements in the camera and interface compartments, too – both the camera and the gallery apps now seemingly open faster than before. This, coupled with the impressive 0.3-second autofocus of the 16MP rear snapper, should provide fans of Samsung's flagship with even better user experience whenever they decide to benefit from the ISOCELL camera's goodness.
The firmware update is also not devoid of improvements under the hood. These include some performance refinements, as well as better RAM management. It is very likely that the update incorporates the usual bug fixes, too.
G900FXXU1ANE2 is not the first firmware update to land on the Galaxy S5. Still, this is the first one the device receives this month.
The update is rolling out both over the air and through Samsung's Kies desktop companion suite. Nonetheless, be advised that your Galaxy S5 may not be among the first wave of devices to receive it. If you don't wish to play the waiting game, you can manually download and flash the firmware by following the source link, courtesy of SamMobile.

You have to really respect how Samsung consistently updates & keeps their phones in a league of their own.
Kudos to you Samsung.
4. PorkyBurger (Posts: 259; Member since: 18 May 2013)
Yeah, but sad that S3 and S3 Mini is not getting for KitKat.
Any other way, I must fully agree with you.
5. tech2 (Posts: 2480; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
S3 LTE is getting the update.
6. hassoups (Posts: 386; Member since: 06 Jun 2013)
they've passed the 18-month mark. Get over it.
8. PorkyBurger (Posts: 259; Member since: 18 May 2013)
So did S3 LTE and it will get KitKat.
That RAM thing they told some days ago, IMO is BS.
11. Wiki_jaan (Posts: 703; Member since: 24 Jun 2012)
we all know 1GB RAM is enough for kitkat android
the problem is its not enough for touchwiz .

19. FYoung (Posts: 34; Member since: 08 Oct 2013)
The S2 and S3 are still being sold as new phones. So, the 18 month period has not started yet.
20. Wiki_jaan (Posts: 703; Member since: 24 Jun 2012)
lol man s2 n s3 are history now.... its not work like this.... coz its company's policy (18 month start after releasing phone in market) not retailers. coz mostly or fewer retailer still have s2 n s3 brand new unsold .
27. sectime (unregistered)
Yeah not even out of contract yet. So 18 months ago. That could be a long time if you are 14.

Samsung does do a decent job with updates, but part of how good they appear is because the other Android manufacturers are just so bad at updates.
24. Super3310 (Posts: 64; Member since: 06 May 2014)
Updates and updateS.. Still lags bigtym y they cant fix that simple peroblem?
2. jroc74 (Posts: 5192; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Like I said before with the GS5 article about the 5-6 annoying things.....updates to specific parts can make things better.
An app lagging does not equal the entire OS, phone lags. If you see lagging everywhere thats another story. And back before the Galaxy name was so big...Samsung used a different file system that caused the entire phone to lag...
I hope things are better for them.....but sometimes the devil is in the details...

i really hope they make it faster and give me the ability to remove all the apps i dont need like google plus :\
9. hurrycanger (Posts: 1301; Member since: 01 Dec 2013)
Faster gallery app? Heck yeah! Samsung's gallery app has been slow as hell.
It's like my main issue with Touchwiz. I'm okay with probably everything else, except for the gallery app. xD
14. maherk (Posts: 1231; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
I've had a 32gb micro ss cards, only using 27gb of it, I used it in my Note 2, S4, Note 3, and now the S5, the only time I would face a slow gallery app was on the Note 2 after a reboot, and on my first boot when I got my phones. Although the camera app used to take a second to open on the Note 2, S4 and Note 3 (kitkat solved that problem for the Note 3).
18. The13thKing (banned) (Posts: 849; Member since: 26 Feb 2014)
Same here bro. I never notice any slowdown in the gallery app .. this dude is a hater .. never mind.
21. maherk (Posts: 1231; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
Samsung phones are just like any other thing on this planet, they aren't perfect. He doesn't have to be a hater if he faced a problem with his phone, I wasn't try to call him a liar nor a hater, I was just pointing that maybe it is a glitch that is affecting a small patch of his phone model, which happens with every OEM. Don't be a judgmental based on one comment, it's not like he said TouchWiz suck, he pointed one thing that he didn't like and pointed out that he loves the rest of the UI.

Opinions by various people of Jane Austen's work
Jane Austen was keenly interested in what her friends, family and acquaintances thought of her work. She copied their opinions of two of her novels, Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1815), in these sheets. Some opinions are clearly quotations from letters, while others are briefer and more colloquial. We can assume that these briefer opinions are Austen's recollections either of opinions said to her directly, or relayed by a third party.
What do the 'Opinions' tell us about contemporary attitudes to Austen's novels?Many of the readers echo contemporary reviews of Austen's work by commenting upon the novels' faithfulness to ordinary life. A Lady Gordon gives one of the most detailed comments of this kind, about Mansfield Park:
In most novels you are amused for the time with a set of Ideal People whom you never think of afterwards or whom you the least expect to meet in common life, whereas in Miss A—'s works, & especially in MP. you actually live with them, you fancy yourself one of the family; & the scenes are so exactly descriptive, so perfectly natural, that there is scarcely an Incident or conversation, or a person that you are not inclined to imagine you have at one time or other in your Life been a witness to, born a part in, & been acquainted with.
Most readers who comment on Austen's 'naturalness' do so favourably, but a couple regard it as a failing: Mrs Guiton, for example, 'thought [Emma] too natural to be interesting'. These differences in opinion reflect late 18th and early 19th-century debates about the purpose of novels and novel-reading. Novels at this time usually featured exaggerated characters and events, and were highly sentimental or dramatic in tone. Austen's focus on everyday life therefore marks a major development in the history of the novel.
The 'Opinions' show that Austen's immediate family disagreed over the relative merits of her novels. Her sister Cassandra liked Emma 'better than P&P – but not so well as M.P.' while her mother found the same novel 'more entertaining than MP – but not so interesting as P&P'.While most of the comments are positive, Austen recorded the bad as well as the good. Mr Cockerelle 'liked [Emma] so little, that Fanny would not send me his opinion'; Mrs Augusta Bramstone 'owned that she thought S&S – and P&P downright nonsense… having finished the 1st vol. [of Mansfield Park] flattered herself she had got through the worst'.
Jane Austen's voice in the 'Opinions'There is only one explicit authorial comment in the 'Opinions': in response to Miss Isabella Herries being 'convinced that I had meant Mrs & Miss Bates for some acquaintance of theirs', Austen writes that they are 'People whom I never heard of before'.
However, some of the opinions (for example, those of Mrs Bramstone, Mrs Augusta Bramstone, Miss Sharpe and Mrs Digweed) sound so much like something Austen's comic characters might say that one suspects a degree of mockery in her portrayal of them. Such opinions also reaffirm the likelihood that she was using her own observations of life around her as material for her fiction.

10-day visits with Medi?
I know it's a business, first of all....let's just get that out there.
But today I went in without my dh who is no longer doing the program with me. We just can't afford for both of us to do it, and he has found something else to try on his own. (Keep in mind that I have to drive 1 hour and 15 minutes, one way, to get to my closest Medi clinic.) I am struggling.....but have recommitted over the last couple of days. One of the struggles is money. One of the others is boredom with breakfast (which I have some strategies for now).
We have been un/underemployed for over 3 years and while I want to improve my health, I can't always afford the visits. I asked if I could come in every 10 days instead of every two weeks and she interrupted me and said, "Let me just stop you right there. They are WEEKLY visits. No."
Maybe it was just the way she said it, but I felt very deflated. Does anyone else go in less often than once a week (during weight loss phase)?
I made an appointment for 10 days from now anyway!:p
Cricket, I'm sorry that the clinic wasn't willing to discuss options with you. :( I haven't consistently gone every week since I've started. I travel, I have meetings, etc, and I can't always schedule 1/week. Sometimes I go 1/2 weeks or so.
There were weeks when I couldn't make it in every week either. I just tried to make sure I got in once every two weeks. My clinic didn't have a problem with it at all. The counselor actually told me to just make sure it wasn't more than a month between visits, because then they charge a restart fee. DH & I were sharing a car at the time, so I had to schedule medi visits around his work schedule, and that wasn't always possible every week.
Hi Cricketleg,
I agree with Jessica1129. I am now only in my 3rd week, but my clinic has no issue with scheduling the appointments out. My next appointment is 10 days out due to travel and they had no issue. Frankly, I feel like we are the customer, so we should dictate when we can attend/afford the program.
Do what works for your family and don't let anyone allow you to feel deflated! Remember...You are in control of your destiny and they are not!
Good luck!
My clinic is accomodating to schedule
I live 95 miles from my clinic. And I travel on biz. they actually offered to give me 2 weeks worth of AppSupps since I couldn't make it the next week. I didn't ask if I would be charged, but assume I would. In any case, if I can't make it, they were absolutely fine with it. They understand how far I have to drive and THEY were the ones that suggested, after I'd been 3 or 4 weeks, I could start coming less often. 6 other girls in my office go to this clinic and we all LOVE it. 15 lbs off in 2 weeks. What's not to love?
I am on vacation this week,so scheduled a 2 week f/u appt, but they tried to charge me 60 dollars just for the rx for the second week in addition to the regular fee. I thought that was ridiculous.
I have gone almost every two weeks since I've started. I've done it to save money also. I keep track of my weight at home and I have stayed on plan. I really go to the clinic for the AS but latley I havent even needed them anymore. I think the shots kind of gave you a but of an incentive to go in weekly but now its like am I really paying $70 for pills and to find out how much I weigh? I'm not saying the counseling is not helpful but when you've been on it for so long I think you can go two weeks and be ok. Just my opinion though.
I'm with everyone else here.... I travel for work. Some months I'll make it in once every 7 days, and some months it's every 10 or 11 or sometimes 14. My clinic is totally fine with it. I'm sorry you've had a different experience. It IS expensive, and we're the customers, after all. I wouldn't even ask them about it. It's a schedule thing, plain and simple. Your schedule is your business!
After 5 years, I go in when I know I need a push to get it back together...if I am struggling with the WOE. My clinic has always been accomodating, never an issue. I know what they would prefer, but they also know ME, and know what works for me. After reaching goal and keeping it there, an occasional slip up here and there is understood and they are very accomodating with my crazy schedule.
What is WOE?
