Title: (back)
Description: Page 2 of a 2 page letter written by Mandela to his daughter, Zenani on the occasion of her birthday.
Transcript: haunted me for many months thereafter. Luckily, however, you soon cooled down and we parted peacefully. But for days I was lost in thought, wondering how I could show you that I had not failed you and the family.When I returned to South Africa in July 1962 I saw you and Zindzi twice and this was the last time we met. In 1964 you were brought to the Supreme Court in Pretoria and I was quite disappointed when you were not allowed to see me. I have been longing to see you ever since. You will be able to visit me in 1975 when you will have turned sixteen. But I am growing impatient and the coming five years seem longer than eternity.
What a lovely letter you wrote me last month! Merci beaucoup! I have started 1971 with a real bang. Yours was the first and only letter I got from the family this year and I read it over and over again. I shall keep it as a souvenir. It pleased me very much to know your subjects for this year and hope you will work hard right from the beginning of the year and pass. French is an important language. On the African continent more people speak French than English. Latin, Zulu, Physical Science, Maths and Geography are also useful and you should pay a great deal of attention to them. I was also pleased to hear that you take walks to the mountains and about the beautiful scenery that you describe.
I saw the note that you wrote at the back of the letter asking the postman to send the letter away at once and to "be like Elvis, go man, Go." The music of Elvis is very lively and popular and I am glad to note that you are fond of it too. I hope that you also love the music of Miriam Makheba, Mohapeloa, Caluza, Tyamzashe, Paul Robeson, Beethoven, [Tchaikovsky] . What is even more important, I trust that one day you will be able to compose, sing and play your own music, or do you prefer to be a ballet star in addition to being a scientist, doctor or lawyer?
What games do you play? Basket ball, swimming or athletics, especially track events (i.e. running) would keep you healthy and strong, and give you the pleasure of helping your college win victories. Try your luck, darling.May this letter bring you the same joy and happiness that yours gave me.
Give my love to Zindzi, Maki, Kgatho, and abazala Andile, Vuyani, Kwayiyo and Maphelo, and of course to you and Mummy.
Lots of love and plenty of kisses.
Yours affectionately,
Miss Zeni Mandela

Toronto police arrest man claiming to be luxury magazine publisher; charge him with fraud
[This post has been updated]Toronto police have announced the arrest of Jason Porter, 37, a Toronto-based publisher of Preston Evans a Canadian luxury magazine and charged him with 23 counts of fraud, money-laundering, traffic in stolen goods and possession of burglary tools.
[Update: Both the Globe and Mail and the National Post had extensive stories on this Tuesday.]
According to the police release, between May and November, Porter would contact single women via online dating sites, presenting himself as a successful businessman, gain their trust and then would open bank accounts and obtain credit cards in their names. The total loss to date is about $40,000.
A website for Preston Evans Media Inc., with offices on Bay Street, has a note signed by Porter as President and CEO saying
"Many people wondered why we would bring another luxury magazine to a market that already has many titles. The reason being, we knew the existing magazines were not featuring important and quality products for Canadians. We knew that there are men and women in Canada that enjoy having dinner out and not winding up in a below par restaurant, or professionals that want to have a glass of wine or scotch with a hint of culture - maybe with Nina Simone playing in the background.
Elsewhere on the site, the following claim is made:
"Preston Evans magazine marries features on fashion and food with finance and family, economics meets entertainment and cars share the spotlight with theatre and travel. Preston Evans gives its highly valued, astute readers an all-inclusive compendium of lifestyle sections, perfectly crafted to meet their very specific wants and needs."The magazine claims to publish two print issues annually and a daily website. Its extensive online media kit has no information about the circulation of the print magazine and very little hard information about the price of online advertising.
"Preston Evans and PrestonEvans.ca is the essential guide for the modern connoisseur. Our content rests on two pillars: Expert Editorial, packaged with the Highest Production Quality."
[Update: Both the Globe and Mail and the National Post had extensive stories on this Tuesday.]

"Telefónica Móviles Spain and Atos Origin launch a new solution for media companies"
Madrid, 28 April 2005
Interacciona allows print media to add content in real-time, as the news is happening, and to keep it live and up-to-date at all times.Interacciona allows print media to add content in real-time, as the news is happening, and to keep it live and up-to-date at all times. Telefónica Móviles Spain and Atos Origin have developed Interacciona (Interact), a new business service specifically targeted for print media, providing added value for readers, as well as paving the way for a new method of generating income through the distribution of premium content to mobile phones.
With Interacciona, Telefónica Móviles is launching the first service to enable access to content through simple direct dialling on a mobile phone. This will extend the reach of new services to a target audience unfamiliar with traditional SMS or internet methods. Moreover, end users no longer need to contend with subscriptions or fixed costs, as they are only accessing information that is of direct interest to them and, therefore, only pay for content requested.
Interacciona uses the most appropriate mobile phone communication method in relation to the information offered – photos of an event, video or recording of a celebrity interview, film trailers, etc. This is all performed with a tool that is always on-line: content providers can send out information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Telefónica Móviles provided the Telecommunications infrastructure, and will be responsible for setting up and managing the service for its clients. Atos Origin is the project consulting, integration and management partner, while MobileSpear supplied the technology platform that makes this new venture possible.
The new service enables users' interests to be captured and taken of at specific times, such as when they are reading their favourite sports paper, in order to increase the amount of information they are offered. This information can include enhancing articles with the latest photos, listening to entire editorials, showing apartment floor plans or highlights, participating in surveys or prize-draws, etc.
A successful pilot scheme has been running for the last few months in conjunction with the sports newspaper Marca, a leading medium for launching new mobile technology initiatives.
"Content services require increasingly quicker deployment. Shorter time-to-market gives operators and content providers many different advantages, particularly since much content quickly goes out of date and needs to be launched practically the moment it happens," said Juan Luis Rivero, Telecom Business Development Manager, Atos Origin España.
"Through Interacciona, we are seeking to bring value-added content distribution to print media, reducing entry barriers for content providers to a minimum", noted Pilar Latorre, Market Development Manager for Telefónica Móviles Spain.

|Lego Squidward
LEGO Squidward is one of the LEGO SpongeBob SquarePants minifigures.
LEGO Squidward is four centimeters tall and two centimeters wide. He is available as a minifigure, a keychain, or a magnet. He comes in the Adventures in Bikini Bottom (3827) playset and the The Krusty Krab (3825) playset. He seems to have only two legs as a Lego minifigure, but Squidward actually has four legs. His head shape is the shape of the original Lego figure's heads, but is the only SpongeBob minifigure to have that head shape. Lego Squidward was first sold in stores in 2006, the first year the SpongeBob Lego toys were sold. He is made of 3 pieces: the head, the body, and the legs. Each one of his parts can come off. Squidward is happy in this version, but is not in the either of the newer versions.
LEGO Squidward is green with a tan shirt. He has white eyes and red pupils. He also has a big nose, a smiling mouth, green arms, gray hands, and green legs. He has holes on the back of his legs. He looks a bit different than the LEGO Squidward #2. The secondary models have a similar model except they have three dimensional noses. They are also frowning, unlike the original models.
- It is not possible to add lego on top of the new Lego Squidward but it is possible to add lego on top of the old Lego Squidward.

- Publish Date Oct 22, 2012
- Tags foreign body, ultrasound, veterinary, pets, animals, sonography, string, ingested, obstruction, intussusception, dog, cat, medicine, x-ray.
About the Creator
Formerly a Louisiana native, Leo has worked and traveled throughout the United States, and the Caribbean but has chosen Hawaii as her home for the last 20 years. As a Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer, she provides ultrasound services to people and for animals. Part of the enjoyment of ultrasound is being able to educate others and pass on interesting cases. The veterinary ultrasound books have been downloaded many times and small pocket versions are given to clients at the time of their exams. As a self employed entrepreneur, she has little time for relaxation; so she takes advantage of every moment and tries to document at least part of the scenic mood with her camera. I hope you enjoy both the educational books and beautiful flowers and scenery.

I enjoy reading questions from blog readers and answering them. One of the another SQL enthusiastic is Imran who also regularly answer questions of users on this community blog. Recently he has answered in detail about when to use Unique Index and when to use Unique Constraint.
Cristiano asked following questions :
i need to know how work when there is a situation that there is a Unique Key and this field "alow null", but when i am going to create a Unique Key the SQLSERVER saw that there were values duplicated and the values are "nulls". How do i sove this problem?
Imran Mohammed answered in detail :
As you may be aware, Unique Key can allow only one null. Meaning only one null can be accepted not more than that. If you have more than one null on any column, you cannot make that column/field as unique key.
I am sure there must be another way of doing this, I would do something like this,
1. Since there is no way you can make that field a unique key, how about making a composite key.
a) Combine this field with any other unique column/field and make a composite unique key. If any other unique key already exists then add this field to the previous unique key.
b) if you do not have any unique key ( I am sure you do), but if you dont, then you can do this always, using Enterprise manager or SSMS object Explorer, create a new Identity column in the table and then create a unique composite key on these two field. ( You can create an identity column if you have data in the table, you DONT have to drop and recreate the table, using EM or SSMS you can always create a identity column in the table).
If you consider case a), then make sure there are no duplicates for the combination of new field and the field you chose for unique key.
If you create a composite unique key on cola and colb combined then you can have more than one null in cola and in colb, but again the combination of cola and colb should be unique.
Once you start making a composite unique key… this concept will be more easier.
Try doing this, either in Enterprise Manager or SSMS ( Object Explorer) much easier in interface than executing scripts.
Hope this helps.

I don't see how this answers the original users' question. He wants to have ColA where the DB will enforce a constraint on the column so that it can have unlimited null values, but all non-null values will be unique. The suggested solution is to join ColA with ColB in a composite unique key, where ColB itself is a unique column.
However, I don't think that this will solve the problem. True, it will allow multiple nulls in ColA (since any combo of null + ColB will be unique). But it will also allow multiple non-unique, non-null values in ColA (since ColB is a unique column itself, all of the rows for ColA could equal the same value while still observing the unique constraint). Am I missing something here?
Just like mr. Ellis, I fail to see how any of the two proposed solutions actually solve the original problem.
If you truly, desperately must have a column of unique non-null values but still allow many null values, one cheesy way would be to add a computed column, defined to contain the same non-null data, and some other, unique, data when the original column is null. E.g. like this:
ALTER TABLE SomeTable
ADD DummyColumn AS CASE
WHEN UniqueColumn IS NULL THEN SomeReallyUniqueColumnOrCombinationsThereofThatAreGuaranteedNeverToOccurInTheOtherUniqueColumn
ELSE UniqueColumn
The problem of course is to find a set of deterministic data that is guaranteed to be unique for each row and at the same time guaranteed not to be present in the original column.
Hello all,
My first statement says… "I am sure there must be another way of doing this, I would do something like this,"
The question was: There is a Unique Key and this field "alow null", but when i am going to create a Unique Key the SQLSERVER saw that there were values duplicated and the values are "nulls".
What I understood from this question was, the column we are talking about itself is unique except the fact that it has more than one null values. Because of this we cannot create a unique constraint on that column and I believe there is no way to create a unique constraint on a column which has more than one null unless you make a composite key, to do this I suggested two ways,
1. Combine this with any other unique column. Here when I say these, I am talking for only null records, not for non null records, that wasn;t even discussed in the question. The only concern of that person was how to solve null values and still make this column unique. no where he said that he want to make this column who unique…. his concern was only for null records.
2. I suggested that he create an identity column, in case if he dont have a uniwue column. now create a composite unique constraint on previous column and newly created identity column, again the concern here was only for null values.
I understand your concern, you are asking if I make a unique constraint, on cola and colb, colb is identity, then I can have duplicate records in cola, but the combination of cola and colb will still be unique. You are correct, but again like I said, I answered this question thinking that the problem is only with null records and column by default have only unique non null records.
I am always ready to correct myself. Thanks for bringing up this fact.
@Yaakov Ellis, @Bengan and @Imran Mohammed,
I wish all of blog reader read this particular thread. This is very interesting and in depth discussion of the subject. I really like the way all of you are participating to help community.
I really like your additional explanation and politeness towards other experts.
Pinal Dave ( https://blog.sqlauthority.com/ )
Sorry Imran, but I still don't see how your suggested solution enables the original poster to do what they want: have a unique constraint on one column that allows multiple null values, but ensures that all non-null values are unique.
SQL Server 2008 supports filtered indexes (WHERE clause for indexes). Filtered indexes allow you to enforce unique constraints on nullable columns.
I find Bengan solution to be perfect.
1. create a computed column.
2. Pass the 'unique column' value when it is not null
3. When it is null copy the Primary key's value into the computed column.
4. Set the unique constraint on computed column
Nagaraj – this however has the same problem as originally mentioned by Bengan: "The problem of course is to find a set of deterministic data that is guaranteed to be unique for each row and at the same time guaranteed not to be present in the original column.".
I think that the solution to this would be to use GUIDs (Type: UniqueIdentifier) as the datatype for the Primary Key row. This would ensure that no PK value would ever equal the unique column value. You would still have to put logic into your application to determine whether or not a real value or GUID-in-place-of-null is being used.
I would prefer an indexed view to enforce uniqueness on nullable columns (not in SQL Server 2008):
create view xy
with schemabinding
from dbo.table
uniquevalue is not NULL
create unique clustered index cui on dbo.table(uniquevalue)
IMHO the only reasonable solution
Christop Ingenhaag
I'm running into this exact problem. Thanks for the discussion. We have thousands of suppliers and not all of them use DUNS number, but when they do we keep track of it in our vendor database at Lincoln Financial Group. We have a different internalsupplierid which is unique and is the primary key. I can handle unique checking on DUNS in the application (ugh, if I have to), but it sure would be nice if on the database SQL server made it easier to add a "no duplicates unless null" index option.
Nice topic and discussion. Thanks to all. I have a question. I have few join tables in database such as
user_role_ID PK
user_id FK
role_id FK
where a combination of user_id and role_id is unique. Is it a good idea to build a composite unique index on those kind of join tables or it is not necessary.
CREATE TABLE t1 (id INT, title VARCHAR(20))
— optional instead of trigger to disable the insert directly into the table
CREATE TRIGGER trg_t1_DisableInsert ON t1
— use 18 to stop further processing
RAISERROR (40000, 18, 1, 'Use view dbo.v1 to insert data into table')
CREATE VIEW v1
SELECT id, title
FROM dbo.t1
WHERE id IS NOT NULL
–Create an index on the view.
ON dbo.v1 (id);
INSERT INTO v1 (id, title)
SELECT 1, 'title 1' UNION ALL
SELECT 2, 'title 2' UNION ALL
SELECT 3, 'title 3' UNION ALL
SELECT 4, 'title 4' UNION ALL
SELECT null, 'title null'
— this fails because it clashes with the clustered index on the view
INSERT INTO v1 (id, title)
SELECT 1, 'title 5'
— this is ok because it doesn't clash.
INSERT INTO v1 (id, title)
SELECT NULL, 'title 5'
— we see that the table can contain only unique values and more than one null
SELECT * FROM t1
SELECT * FROM v1
DROP VIEW dbo.v1
DROP TABLE dbo.t1
If I already have unique non cluster index made up of composite keys and if I want to add a column having multiple null values in existing index, how can I do it ?
If I try to add this column in existing index, it gives me following message:
Drop failed for Index 'IX_TABLE_A'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
An explicit DROP INDEX is not allowed on index 'dbo.TABLE_A.IX_TABLE_A'. It is being used for FOREIGN KEY constraint enforcement. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 3723)
Its not possible to create unique index with more than one null value in mssql, only in oracle.
The best solution i found:
About the error:
An explicit DROP INDEX is not allowed on index…
Dont use the UI editor
Use query analyser to drop the constraint first:
ALTER TABLE table_name DROP CONSTRAINT FK_constraint_name
and then recreate the constraint(then you can do in the UI editor)
Actually Microsoft SQL Server's implementation of the unique constraint does not adhere to the SQL-standard. So the fact that other databases (like Oracle, MySQL or Microsoft Access) allow multiple NULLs in a UNIQUE constraint/index shouldn't be surprising.
With SQL Server you can however work around the problem with indexed views (as of SQL Server 2000) or filtered indexes (as of SQL Server 2008).

The immediately accretive combination will create a fast-growing, "top tier" search distribution company, generating $367 million in pro forma non-GAAP revenue and $109 million in pro forma EBITDA for the 12 months ended June 30, 2013. The newly combined Perion operation will represent more than 260,000 publisher and content partners. Josef Mandelbaum, Perion's CEO, commented, "This is a transformational event for our company, and a powerful combination for our employees and shareholders. This is truly a case where one plus one equals three. Our businesses complement each other and will enable us to increase investment in our monetization and distribution platform, mobile efforts, display advertising and product innovation. I am very happy to welcome all the talented Client Connect employees to Perion and look forward to continuing to build on the great success they have achieved to date." Ronen Shilo, CEO and co-founder of Conduit, added, "We couldn't be happier with this combination. Perion is a thriving, public company that shares our values of entrepreneurship and integrity. I have known Josef for a long time, and I can think of no one better equipped to take Client Connect forward." Conduit will spin off its Client Connect business, which includes its monetization and distribution platform for publishers and developers. Under the agreement, the spin-off company will be combined with Perion, which upon closing will issue to Conduit shareholders between 57-60 million shares, based on Perion's fully diluted share count at closing. Following the closing, Perion will be owned 81% by the existing Conduit shareholders and option holders and 19% by existing Perion shareholders and option holders, on a fully diluted basis.

My new blog!
Hello, everyone! Well, I finally have a blog. :) I've actually been resisting doing this for quite some time, because I can't really think of anything anyone might actually want to read, but I'm going to give it a try! This has been such an exciting year for me! I've sold three books to Cobblestone Press, got some great reviews, met some wonderful people and am now nominated for the CAPA award for my first book THE MAIL ORDER BRIDE! Wahoo! I hope 2007 brings more good news! Thanks for dropping by!

Early Photographic Processes: The Albumen Printwritten by geegraphy on 2013-02-25 #videos
Shortly after the discovery of the collodion process, another photographic process -- one that could be considered as complimentary -- came to rise: the albumen print.6 Share Tweet

The platinum print, also called a platinotype, is a form of contact print formed when platinum is brushed unto a sheet of paper. They contain a matte finish and possess a great tonal range, therefore more desirable to photographers who are more focused on the more aesthetic side of photography.5 Share Tweet

Spider-Man 3 is generally regarded as the weakest of Sam Raimi's original trilogy of films about the web slinging superhero — even the director himself has said he 'messed up plenty' — but cast member Topher Grace has come to the defense of both the movie and its maker.
Grace, who played Spidey's many-fanged nemesis Venom (aka Eddie Brock) in SM3, recently told the Hollywood Reporter, 'I know the movie did well for Sony, but I also know a lot of people weren't happy with it.'
The actor likened Raimi's responsibilities on the tentpole film to 'running a small country' and added,
'This summer, there was a movie like that where people are just slamming a big studio movie. I would love to see anyone who's slamming one of those movies try to fit in Sam Raimi's position. He was like the president of a small country — by the way, it had the gross national income of a small country too. I have huge respect for him. I think, on a whole, he did such a fantastic job [on that trilogy].'
Released in 2007, Spider-Man 3 received mixed reviews but grossed $891 million at the worldwide box office. (For the sake of comparison, that's greater than the 2007 GNI of Comoros and less than that of Samoa, according to the World Bank.)
Sony Pictures announced in January 2010 that plans for Spider-Man 4 had been cancelled due to Raimi's withdrawal from the project. Raimi reportedly ended his participation due to his doubt that he could meet the planned May 6, 2011 release date while at the same time upholding the film creatively. Raimi purportedly went through four iterations of the script with different screenwriters and still "hated it".
Sony went on to reboot the franchise with director Marc Webb's Amazing Spider-Man in 2012, followed by a 2014 sequel. The studio is currently collaborating with Marvel Studios on a third big-screen incarnation of the wall-crawler.

Ranging from grades to attendance, new policies involving transfer students have been announced for the upcoming year.
When it comes to grades, transfer students are required to hold no less than a C in all of their classes on quarterly grade reports. With almost 200 transfer students at East, the new policies are designed to make sure students are here to learn and are not transferring just because their friends are here, according to Principal Haney. Transfer students will only be allowed to miss ten days of school the previous school year. If someone applies for a transfer, the administration wants to make sure they are not missing excessive amounts of school. Students who do not meet these guidelines will be asked to return to their area school.
Missing ten days last semester alone, Caroline Mills, a freshman transfer student from North, got nervous when all the transfer students were called into a meeting during seminar a few weeks back where they announced the new policies to the students.
"I think they (new policies) make sense and I get why they are a thing, but it also kind of nerve racking," said Mills."I am just worried that you might make a mistake and not mean to and get kicked out of the school. "
Applying for a transfer at Highlands Elementary instead of attending her area elementary school, Sante Fe Trail, was how Mills found her way into the East area. Her parents looked at the test scores from the separate schools and chose to apply for a transfer.
"'The student must demonstrate regular attendance habits' is what the district guideline is," Assistant Principal Haney said. "I think that if they were sick for a specific reason then we could get documentation from the doctor and we would go from there."
These new policies will not be in full effect until the end of the current semester.

I know that the tummy needs a little work. 😑 but I think I've come a long way through working out. Unfortunately I do not have any before pictures. Although at one time I weighed 130lbs and now weigh only 112lbs. Im naturally tiny. When I weighed 130 I was on the chubby side and was very unhappy with my appearnece. I am learning to embrace my slender figure, even though some may find it "unwomanly". I just want opinions. Is this an attractive body type?

"I know that the tummy needs a little work"
It most certainly does not. Wow!
"even though some may find it "unwomanly""
It takes a great amount of skill to create some crazy argument that this isn't womanly.
"Is this an attractive body type?"
Yes, very much so.
"Is this anyones preferred body type? "
Yes, it's within the range I would consider "preferred". It's like right smack in the middle.
Can't say much for other guys, because some guys have some pretty crazy standards. But I think any sane guy would have the whole "eyes popping out of his skull" thing going on.00|00|0
Killer body eh?
To think she's even questioning having to ask.
Bet the other girls are hatin her for that killer body Huh?
Let me ask , would you let a chic with body like that fart in your mouth from behind?
That's how I like to think about hotties or not. I think ,,, would i let her fart in my mouth or not? If not , I don't go near them kinds but if so ,,,, hell yes !! Fart away !! Lol.

@OpenClose - I agree on the tummy/lower abdomen. I like it like that for my money that is a feminine abdomen and sexy to me, versus flat.
I'm so glad you are feeling better about yourself. You shouldn't have to change how you look for someone, rather you should find someone who likes you how you are.
I mean seriously? Pale complexion? Freckles? These are super attractive. You seem to think you have small boobs and a lack of curves. I'd say you're pretty normal there, but I personally have a thing for both. Not to imply anything, just to show that there are definitely guys who like that sort of thing.
And even then, most guys really don't care as much as you seem (ed) to think they do.

Thirst trap looks like.43|10|0
Maybe if I posted on FB or instagram like millions of women do to show all the people I know how I look in a bikini. But this is an anonymous picture and it is under the category of "how do i look?" So if you don't want to see people posting pictures asking "how do they look", why don't you look in a different topic? Just saying...
- Show AllShow Less
I don't care what most of the other people who post are wearing. I can and will post and wear what I please. But I am wearing clothes. So get over it. There's no rule that says I cannot wear what I am wearing. Your just one of those people who like to start shit.

How to browse remote registry in Powershell
For many system administrator it is useful to browse Windows Registry remotely to verify or set settings on remote computers. It is a lot more useful if you can script it through Microsoft's official scripting language : PowerShell. Today we will see how to browse remote registry in powershell. We will also see how to get Active Directory user SID so we can access to the right registry settings for that specific user.
First of all, before doing anything you need to make sure you run below script on an Active Directory server using domain administrator privileges. Otherwise, you won't have access to domain users registry. This tutorial is tested on Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2012 R2.
Also, following Windows Service must be activated and running on remote computers : Remote Registry.
1. Remotely get user's SID
One thing you will need is user's SID. Why you need this ? Because, you will need to access users' registry settings for desktop or control panel configuration such as screen saver or anything alike. To do so, we need the following information in variables as below :
<# Replace following domain.name with yours and userAccountName with remote username #>
$userLogin = New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount("domain.name","userAccountName")
$userSID = $userLogin.Translate([System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier])
2. Open and read remote user's registry key and values
As soon as we have user's SID we can browse registry and retrieve any value we want. We can also set (write) values to user's registry, but, for some specific settings you will need to reboot remote computer for change(s) to take effect.
<# We will open HKEY_USERS and with accurate user's SID from remoteComputer #>
$remoteRegistry = [Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey]::OpenRemoteBaseKey('Users',"remoteComputer")
<# We will then retrieve LocalName value from Control Panel / International subkeys #>
$key = $userSID.value+"\Control Panel\International"
$openKey = $remoteRegistry.OpenSubKey($key)
<# We can now retrieve any values #>
$localName = $openKey.GetValue('LocaleName')
If you need to verify and validate settings from your domain's network, it is easy to do so using Powershell and Scheduled Task on any Windows server.

Fastest Way to Build Muscle After You Plateau: 9 Effective Methods
Hitting a plateau in your training sucks. You leave no stone unturned with your diet, you've exhausted every one of your tricks in your training tool bag and you're more consistent than 24-hour political updates. Yet you still find yourself starring down that pesky plateau.
Played around with rest periods? Check. Using mostly multi-joint compound movements? Done. Giving yourself the proper rest and nutrition between training sessions? Been there, done that. Despite your apparent best efforts of sweat, tears and frustration there is still hope.
Related: How to Gain Muscle Mass Fast
Below are nine training intensity techniques you may have never considered. These aren't just your old-fashioned forced reps or drop sets that have you rolling your eyes and moving on to the next so-called "big thing." No, these are nine practices that will have you kick-starting your strength and muscle mass gains once again minus the empty promises.
Tired of seeing brands focused solely on the "bottom line"? Myokem set out to make the BEST products in the industry. Click here to order now.
Fastest Way to Build Muscle After You Plateau
#1 – Heavy, loaded sets
In the iron game one of your goals is most-likely to gain strength. You want to lift heavier than you did the last session. This not only helps to build muscle but is one of the most literal ways to track progress.
Loaded sets give you the chance to experience a higher than normal load without risk of injury. This will coax your body to eventually get stronger.
The how: After you have performed all of your normal working sets of a major, multi-joint lift such as a flat bench barbell press take a few minutes of rest and then load the bar with a higher amount of weight – an amount that only allows you three to five reps. Perform those reps with textbook form and avoid going to muscular failure. A single set after each big lift is plenty.
#2 – Static holds
Performing a hold is another way to increase the load on your central nervous system outside of normal rep movements. Again, the increased amount of weight will let your body "feel" a heavier than normal load and slowly adapt to that "feel" over time. How will you ever know what a heavier weight will be like without ever experiencing that amount in some way, shape or form?
The how: After all of your normal work sets are completed for a specific compound lift, load the bar with a higher weight than normal – high enough that you would not be able to perform a single rep. However, make sure it's an amount that you can at least pick up and stabilize safely.
Lift the weight and hold it in an unlocked position so the weight is placed more on your muscles and tendons instead of on locked joints. For example, hold a barbell for the barbell bench press in the top position with your elbows slightly unlocked and keeping the stress on the pecs, shoulders and triceps. Hold for a count of 20 to 30 seconds.

#3 – Big compound sets
Compound sets, sets for the same body part done back-to-back, are normally reserved for the smaller muscle groups such as biceps and triceps. This practice stresses the importance of not overtraining a certain area and creates less of a load on your central nervous system.
Since training the big muscle groups more effectively gives you more potential for overall gains in muscle mass and strength, applying this technique to larger, stronger areas is a no-brainer.
The how: Performing compound sets for biceps using two forms of curls won't do much for overall muscle and strength gains. You may get an extra 1/8 on your arms but not much else.
To get big gains pick two hard, multi-joint exercises and get after it. Leg presses compounded with squats, incline bench press compounded with flat bench press or pull-ups compounded with bent-over barbell rows are just a few examples.
#4 – Pulses at peak contraction
Pulses are another unique technique that will burn the living crap out of any body part when executed correctly and for specific body parts. Look at these as a form of partial reps but reserved for the peak contraction for a weak point. When you can no longer perform another perfect rep for a specific movement add in a few pulses until all fibers are thoroughly well done.
The how: Choose an exercise that has an intense peak contraction. Many arm movements and other isolation movements are great for this.
For example, for preacher bench curls once you are depleted of all full range reps bring the bar up to the top position and then lower the bar about a quarter of the way down and begin pulsing the bar up to peak contraction over and over until you can no longer move the bar. The range of motion should only be a few inches.

#5 – High-rep sets
Increasing your reps by a few isn't going to get much done. Going from six reps per set, dropping the amount of weight and going to 10 reps isn't all that significant in the big picture if you've been stuck in a rut for a while.
What you need is major change – enough of a significant shift to knock you down so you can come back stronger and more determined. Enter high-rep sets.
The how: If you are new to high-rep sets then start using this technique on a machine to help you with imbalances. For example, choose a leg press for a set of 100 reps. You may not complete all reps in the same set but stay determined to finish no matter how long it takes you.
If you're up for it try high-rep sets on free weight exercises such as squats, bench presses and deadlifts. These ultra-high reps will give you enough bang for your buck to see real change.
#6 – Stretch reflex
The stretch reflex is a reaction muscle tissue has to avoid injury. For example, if your biceps stretches further than it is used to your muscle will automatically contract to avoid being stretched too much and prevent injury from occurring.
This, in turn, recruits many muscle fibers. The trick is to use this to your advantage.
The how: Let's take a look at using this on a set of pec flys. Lower the dumbbells (for the free weight version) or the handles (for the machine version) until you are only a few inches from the bottom stretched position. Pause there for a brief second and then "release" the tension on the muscle and allow the weight to pull your arms down just a bit further rather quickly.
Without pause reverse direction and contract the muscle up the top position. This twitch at the bottom will activate more muscle fibers to contract.

#7 – Rest/pause singles
Rest/pause or cluster set training has had a resurgence of sorts relating to increases in strength. You would simply take a weight that you could originally only perform a few reps for and end up completing double or even triple the amount in one segmented set.
For example, if you can only get three or four reps with a certain weight on bench press and want to complete nine or 10 simply perform three reps with a 10 to 15 second rest in between those clusters of three reps. Do this for three rounds until you get a total of nine reps. But let's take this a step further.
The How: Instead of performing cluster sets of three, four or five reps shoot for several single rep sets. Also, try completing more sets total to reach that ultimate rep goal. For example, for the same bench press move above now you will perform 10 singles separated by 10 to 15 second breaks between.
#8 – High-rep pre-exhaustion
Pre-exhaustion has been around for a while now. Performing an isolation exercise immediately followed by a multi-joint exercise will help you hone in on that targeted body part more effectively.
For example, if your goal is to build a bigger chest but you find that your shoulders and/or triceps often take over the lifts you perform then doing a pre-exhaustion set of dumbbell flys immediately followed by a bench press will pre-exhaust the pecs and allow the bench press to fully activate the pecs.
The how: To put a unique spin on an old technique simply perform pre-exhaustion sets with very high reps. Why? Because the higher reps will be significantly different than powering through a low rep set prior to your big compound move. So to keep with our example, go with four or five sets of machine flys for at least 20 reps per set before lower rep bench presses.
#9 – Post-exhaustion
Just as pre-exhaustion will "pre-load" the muscle before the bigger lifts, post-exhaustion saves the isolation work until after the multi-joint lift. If you're shoulders and triceps are spent after a set of bench presses simply continue your set with little-to-no rest with an isolation exercise.
The how: Choose any multi-joint exercise and pair it with a comparable isolation exercise. This could be bench presses with chest flys, squats with leg extensions, barbell rows with pull-overs, shoulder presses with side lateral raises or any other combination.
Perform your set of the compound movement as normal and then immediately head over and complete your set of the isolation move. Once you've completed a post-exhaustion set rest for one or two minutes before starting the next set.

Wenlin Software for learning Chinese(Redirected from Wenlin)
Wenlin Software for Learning Chinese (Chinese: 文林; pinyin: Wénlín; literally: "Literature forest") is a software application designed by Tom Bishop, based on his experience of the needs of learners of the Chinese language, predominantly Mandarin. It contains a dictionary function as well as a text reader/writer function for reading and creating Chinese text files. Flashcards of new characters can also be compiled to aid in learning. By pointing the cursor at a Chinese character the software looks up an English word, and vice versa, working like a dictionary. If a word is selected out of context this "could be extremely misleading for Chinese language students"[1] (note however that this review is rather dated and may not apply to the current version). The Wenlin software can recognize files in Unicode, GB 2312, Big5, and HZ format.

List FunctionEdit
The software allows the user to display lists of Chinese characters ordered by pinyin, stroke count, frequency, components, or Unicode. It also displays lists of words by pinyin, frequency, and serial number. English words can be displayed alphabetically, as well as the 214 radicals of the Chinese language.
Dictionary FunctionEdit
The dictionary function allows the user to input Chinese characters or pinyin (including the phonetic marking) to search. The user can also highlight words in a text and search for them in the dictionary. Wenlin has its own built-in dictionaries, but user-created dictionaries can be uploaded into the software.
Wenlin Software for Learning Chinese is marketed by the Wenlin Institute, a Social Purpose Corporation for Chinese and English language education, with Tom Bishop as President.

Trying to get pregnant
Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I am 37 years old, this will be our 2nd baby . I was pregnant 3 months later the last time we tried and I'd love to have that happen again. I'm also nervous, because I miscarried my 1st and I REALLY DON'T want another miscarriage :(
Thanks for your support!
I will keep you in my prayers, Jennifer! Hope you will be able to conceive soon and have another bundle of joy in your arms!
Positive vibes!!!

This mens bracelet combines grey druzy agate and grey stone beads with elephant beads and an elephant talisman. Five matte-finished agate rounds in varied shades of grey are at the center of the bracelet. These agate beads have been cut from druzies, and the central bead sparkles with tiny natural crystals. I framed the agate beads with silver-plate barrel beads with cut-outs of elephants encircling the beads. Smaller color-enhanced grey beads lead to the clasps. An elephant talisman inscribed with an ohm symbol completes the bracelet.
The bracelet is finished with an S-clasp and a short chain which allows you to change the length to the best fit for your wrist. It can be adjusted between 7 ¾ and 9 ¼ inches. According to tradition, agate is believed to be a healing and calming stone and is also thought to help build self-confidence and enhance concentration. Elephants are symbols in many cultures, often representing friendship, kindness, good luck, wisdom, and protection. These qualities add another dimension to a great-looking man's bracelet!

I thought it might be a good idea to have a strategy helper for the game. What I mean is, if you're having trouble with a level (specifically an Adv. Mode level), you can use it to help you figure out what plants to use. This would really help after finishing the game already. You can select the 3 plants Crazy Dave gives you, how many seed slots you have available, and the level you're trying to beat.
My main reason? I'm trying to go through my second round on DSiWare, and like the game card version, Crazy Dave's picks never change. so whatever he gives you, you're stuck with until you beat the level. I find this rather annoying, because on my PC, I can continuously restart a level until he actually gives me something useful, which I can't do on DSiWare (or my game card, for that matter).
What about you? Does this even sound possible? And if so, would it help?

HOUSTON, Jan 29 (Reuters) - Texas-based oil company Harvest Natural Resources Inc said on Thursday its affiliates have withdrawn a request for arbitration against Venezuela for blocking the sale of the company's stake in an oil project in the country.
The action follows objections from Argentina's Pluspetrol, which had agreed to buy Harvest's 32 percent stake in Petrodelta for about $400 million. Pluspetrol filed a complaint this week in U.S. court for breach of contract, citing specific provisions that insulate it from any legal proceeding Harvest might start against Venezuela.
It argued that the arbitration "could seriously threaten Petroandina's and its affiliates' interests in Venezuela."
Harvest filed for arbitration on Jan. 16, saying it was trying to protect the value of its investment in Venezuela through an arbitration before the Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID).
Harvest could go through a process established in the agreement with Petroandina or obtain a waiver to request arbitration, the firm said in a statement.

Everett here. I'm hosting Morpheus, god of dreams.
I walked up towards Seth, Jake and Aria. Apparently, they were discussing something. I decided to talk to them.
"Hey guys," I said. "What's up?" They all stared at me, then looked away. "What is it?" I asked them. "Nothing," Aria answered. "Just that we talked about Greek mythology." "Lemme guess," I said to them. "Are you guys talking about hosting gods?" "HOW DID YOU KNOW?!?" Jake said loudly. Like, so loudly, that the guy wielding a chainsaw would've stopped.
Everyone turned their heads towards us. I gave them the signal, and we all went under the table.
"How did you know?" asked Jake, a bit less loud. Okay, lets face it. A LOT less loud. "Well," I began, "for the last ten years, I was hosting a god, but you guys couldn't tell because I'm hosting Morpheus, who hides divine energy with a shadow of dreams. Well, more or less," I said.
"Why didn't you tell us, Ev?" Aria said. "I was afraid you would judge me as being the weirdest one," I answered. "Because I'm the only one who can hide my divine energy." "That's actually pretty awesome," Seth said. "Aria said my one was pretty obvious, and strong, too."
"Eitherway," I said, "now we know our ideentities, which gives us more strength, but also a stronger presence, so anyone who knows the reality of the world will know who we are in an instant." "But what about me?" Seth asked. "I don't know who I'm hosting."
"Maybe it'll show sooner or later," I said. "I mean, not every host or hostess knew their true identity. I didn't know mine until I was 12," I continued. So, we all sat back in our original positions.
But the Moirae didn't have the best plans for us.

How did the big three do? What was the game of the show…..can Wales possibly win Euro 2016? All of these questions are answered during 60 or so minutes of solid gold video game bantz.
Oh, there is also quite a bit of love for the Warcraft movie. It may have been savaged by critics but Liam liked it and is happy to sing its praise to anyone who will listen.

Car Polisher
Should you use a car polisher when waxing or polishing your car?
Yes and no... it depends! How is that for clear advice? First let's define the two distinct types of car polishers (or buffers) out there.
- Random or Orbital polisher: This type of polisher has a head which spins and oscillates in a motion which attempts to mimic the action of hand polishing. It's less aggressive and requires more time to get the job done.
- Rotary Polisher: The pad spins about a shaft and is definitely more aggressive than an orbital polisher. This is good and bad, since it will take less time to get the job done (good) but you could burn through your paint a lot easier too (bad). Rotary polishers tend to come with a speed control to allow you to vary the speed depending on the job at hand, typically between 100 - 3,000 rpm.
- Dual Action Polisher: I know I said there are two types of polishers or buffers out there, but really there is a third which is the Dual Action buffer which is simply a combination of the random and rotary polisher. The tool has a "switch" which allows you to change the action to suit the job you are doing. They are most often powered by air (pneumatic) and used for sanding more than buffing or polishing paint.
So which tool is right for my car?
For most car owners, I suggest a random/orbital polisher which may take a little more time but will reduce the risk of you ruining your paint job.
Whichever method you chose, make sure to follow the polish/wax manufacturer's recommendations on application. Pads can vary from aggressive wool, to softer foam pads, read the directions with your polish or wax to find out which is best.

Treatments for Scar Removal
Those who have scars on their bodies tend to be very embarrassed especially if they are ugly and conspicuous. This is why most people try to look for scar removal treatment options in order to have the scars reduced or totally removed. Before settling for a scar treatment option, one should consider the amount of risks they are exposing themselves to. In addition to the amount of money one spends in the treatment procedure; one should consider the time invested into it as well. In order for a scar removal method to be effective, one should be very consistent on it. This will help the scar to heal effectively and soon be reduced or gotten rid of completely.
The treatment process will require enough money which one should put aside as well as time and effort. Getting a good scar fading cream will come in handy as it will help the scar to fade gradually rendering you great results. It is possible for one to get no results from a certain scar removal procedure as there are those methods that are ineffective. Scar cream is very affordable for those who don't want to spend a lot of money on other alternatives which they are not even sure of.
Surgery tend to be a very effective method of scar removal as it works. This can only happen once one goes to a reputable plastic surgeon who is known who have conducted very many successful procedures. Surgery also tends to be very costly when it comes to the removal of scar tissue in your body. There is a lot of time and effort that is invested into the surgery procedure which is why one should choose it as their last and final option. Since scar removal cream is a painless process; one should try it out first. Some surgeons end up making a lot of mistakes during surgery which might cause major problems.
Despite the scar removal method you choose, it will take time for the scar to actually go away. It is important for one to be patient during the scar removal procedure as they all take time. There are however various scar creams that deliver quick results as they are fast acting. After one goes through surgery; they are supposed to have a long recovery period hence a lot of time goes into it. Preparation for the surgery also takes a long time as well.
Creams, as well as tropical solutions, are very effective for those people who haven't done a scar treatment procedure before. If the creams don't work; one can opt for laser treatment. If none of these methods are working, one can opt to go for surgery.

Yes, it's an envelope, or cover, as philatelists prefer to call them. There is nothing inside. And it doesn't have a stamp - at least, not in the present sense of the word.
What it does have is a hand stamp with the words ''Free/Norfolk Island'' and this, plus the ''6th Jany 1842'' date, was enough for this cover to be sold for $24,000 at a Prestige Philately auction in Melbourne last month.
That may have been a bargain. The pre-sale estimate was $25,000.
This envelope is described in the catalogue as ''a great rarity and one of the most important covers not just of Norfolk Island but of the New South Wales pre-stamp period''. Only two others from this period are recorded.
Welcome to the wonderful world of postal history, where empty envelopes sell for as much as a medium-size car. This item was the highlight of a compact but significant Norfolk Island collection sold by the Garrard family, including some that have not been seen for half a century.
Early last month would seem like an unfortunate time to sell stamps. At the time, several global financial markets were under threat of disintegrating. Yet the Garrard collection did quite well, with a 90 per cent clearance rate and total sales of $134,000, just short of the estimate of $143,000. Only nine lots remained unsold. The Garrards were delighted.
Gary Watson of Prestige reports that while he noticed a few of the expected players went AWOL, it was mostly business as usual. Norfolk Island is a popular philatelic niche and the usual suspects were there, trying to fill gaps in their own collections.
Watson says the main change in recent times is that about 65 per cent of the lots are sold to local collectors. Two-thirds of a major collection would usually go overseas but the exchange rate means Australians are ''not being beaten to a pulp by overseas bidders'', as he puts it.
About 75 per cent of bidding at prestige auctions is now done online. A live audio stream is supplied for interstate and overseas bidders.
Those buying stamps at this elite level include a few established agents, bidding on behalf of clients who want to add rarities such as the Norfolk Island cover to their investment portfolios. These agents are well known to auction houses and operate with discretion.
Another highlight of the Garrard sale was the 1843 cover (this one still had the letter inside) with the almost-as-rare ''Paid At Norfolk Island'' hand stamp. The letter had been sent to Scotland by a soldier based on the island. The cover and letter sold for $17,000, shy of the $20,000 estimate.
Actual stamps also sold. A set of five blocks of unmounted Norfolk Island stamps in different colours sold for $26,000 (they had been estimated at $30,000).
These are the only complete set of blocks known and were described in the catalogue as ''the undisputed crown jewels of Australian territories stamps''.
Another series of five stamps, prepared for use in 1940 but not issued, sold for $7000, well above the estimate of $5000.
Rare stamps are worth much more than their weight in gold.
They are often claimed to be the most expensive man-made items on a value-per-weight basis. Generally nominated as the most valuable in the world is the Treskilling Yellow, a colour misprint of a Swedish stamp discovered in an attic in 1886.
It sold for more than $US2 million in 1996, then again for slightly more last year, although Watson is sceptical about this result because the buyers, an alleged investment consortium, were not identified.
He says the highest price paid for a single stamp at one of his Melbourne auctions is about $200,000.

It seems Lenovo's Superfish was the proverbial straw that broke the public's back, because people are starting to really call out software vendors that pull similar moves. In recent days, BitTorrent and Oracle, an unlikely pair if ever there was one, have been taken to task for similar shenanigans.
BitTorrent's uTorrent software is the most popular and widely used torrent software, but it's also been criticized for getting bloated and filled with ads you can't remove for some time. Regular torrent users openly advocate shunning the newer versions of uTorrent in favor of the 2.2.1 release from 2010 because it doesn't have the ads and useless new features.
The latest offense from BitTorrent is even more egregious because it installs a Litecoin miner along with the torrent software. Litecoin is an alternative to Bitcoin. It's not like uTorrent hides it; you are prompted to approve its installation. uTorrent is telling other media outlets that the software it bundles is opt-in, but we know human nature, and people all too often just click Next, Next, Next until they get to Finish without looking closely at what they agreed to.
Coin miners for Bitcoin and Litecoin use a lot of CPU cycles, so that will run up power and heat, which adds to the annoyance of installing unwanted software in the first place. And the user never gains from the coin mining, Litecoin does. Needless to say, BitTorrent is getting a lot of heat on its message board.
And then there's Oracle. Stories are popping up now about Oracle's bundling of the Ask toolbar with Java and changing your default search engine to Ask.com. Like with uTorrent, you can avoid the installation if you pay attention during the install. If you just keep clicking Next until it's done, it will be installed.
This sudden anger at Oracle is a bit specious because Oracle has been doing this for years. Why are people griping now? Because the Mac version of Java is finally including Ask. For years, only the PC version got the Ask toolbar and search engine switch. I guess Oracle had to target the single-digit market share world of the Mac to make people mad.
Why Oracle even bothers may seem like a bit of a mystery, because Ask has just 2.4% market share in search. Not surprising, as Ask search results are fairly worthless, inaccurate, and often full of ads that are not differentiated from genuine search results.
So why would Oracle partner with such a loser? Because there's some money to be had, and Larry will never turn down a good deal. Ask is owned by IAC, a huge company that includes Match.com, Tinder, OKCupid, The Daily Beast, Vimeo, Dictionary.com, and HomeAdvisor, among others, and it pays a commission to Oracle to bundle the Ask toolbar. With each Java download, Oracle makes a few bucks, and considering Java's ubiquity, that can add up.
And as ZDNet's Ed Bott points out, IAC's Search & Applications division, which includes Ask, reported that in its 2014 fiscal year it paid $883 million, primarily in traffic acquisition costs, to partners that distributed its customized browser-based applications, i.e. the toolbar. Google was the biggest beneficiary, but Oracle was up there.
BitTorrent really has no excuse for slipping in an application that uses a user's PC for work and profit, even if the company donates the Litecoin funds to charity. The messages on their user board and elsewhere indicate a huge loss of trust, and that will be hard to regain. As it is, BitTorrent seems tone deaf to the fact that its users are refusing to upgrade from a five-year-old version of its software, so I wonder if they will listen to this.

Michael Buffer Biography
A professional ring announcer for boxing and professional wrestling matches, Michael Buffer was born November 2, 1944. With his tuxedo and famous catchphrase "Let's get ready to rumble!", the six-foot tall Philadelphia native has become one of the most recognized faces in the world of sports entertainment, thanks to his 25 plus years of announcing many of the biggest championship boxing events. He is known for pioneering a distinct announcing style in which he rolls certain letters and adds other inflections to a fighter's name. His catchphrase is a federally registered trademark.
Buffer began using the phrase "Let's get ready to rumble!" in the early 1980s. By 1992, he acquired a federal trademark for the phrase. Buffer uses his famous phrase in various licensing deals including the platinum selling album Jock Jams by Tommy Boy Records, the video games Ready 2 Rumble Boxing, Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2 for the Sony Playstation 2, Nintendo 64, Sega Dreamcast and Game Boy Advance and Greatest Heavyweights of the Ring for the Sega Genesis and numerous other products. In addition, he has used variations of the phrase in advertisements, including the popular commercial for Mega Millions in which he says "Let's get ready to Win Big!" and the Kraft Cheese commercial in which he says "Let's get ready to Crumble! ".

Hello everyone!
I have my first wedding cake on the 29th and I am so nervous. The groom (my dear friend) called me today and asked if we could change the flavor to a chocolate cake with raspberry filling. I am freaking out a little bit because of the late notice and because I normally do not make chocolate cakes (I don't like chocolate too much.) I have a recipe that rocks (a black russian cake- with vodka and Kahlua) but I don't think It will hold enough 3 tiers. Can you recommend a great recipe that it is sturdy enough for a 3 tier wedding cake? For the raspberry filling I was thinking of buying a ready made filling. Several of my local cake supplies stores sell many fillings so I was planning on buying this one http://www.cakesuppliesdepot.com/CAKE-FILLING--RASPBERRY_p_1398.html although I have never tried it before. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance!
I use Rose Levy's chocolate cake recipe for a three tiered wedding cake from her Cake Bible. It is seriously the best chocolate cake around and of course is geared for the tiered cake. I'm not a chocolate cake fan but this one rocks and I get rave reviews from all my customers. You really should get her book (I'm not a paid endorser either !)
Thanks! do you know if they have an ebook version? I am not sure if I will be able to get it on time to try it
Just a thought....if your cake is supported properly you can stack any recipe. LeahS swears by the SPS system. I am a hobbiest, so I haven't given it a try though. You only have to worry abou the weight if the cake is supporting the layers above. If the support system is what is holding it up, it doesn't matter what cake you use. In LeahS's words...you can stack jello with the correct support system.
Sorry karu, but The Cake Bible isn't in kindle form ...yet. The problem with using any recipe for a three tier cake is that most of our scratch recipes are for 8 or 9" cakes. Some recipes just don't translate well if you triple or quadruple the recipe amounts...particularly the baking soda.
However, it is true that the SPS system is infallible when it comes to stacking and offering the best support possible to prevent collapse or toppling of the cake....just be prepared to lose some serving amounts due to the fairly significant holes that the posts leave in the cake....fair enough exchange for the for the peace of mind the SPS affords.
So, would I be able to use ny black Russian recipe, which he loves, no matter what ad long as I use sps? Is it easy to use? I would probably need to get it ASAP because you can only get it online right?
