The 2014 Mercedes-Benz GL may be an expensive way to haul the family around, but it has excellent driving manners and some very sophisticated safety technology, too.
Even the German automakers understand that the easiest way into the American hearts (and driveways) is to offer a way to haul the kids around – and the 2014 GL Class is Mercedes-Benz's most largest, most luxurious vehicle for the carpool lane.
While the GL may wear a very large three-point star on its grille, it's actually manufactured in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. It's sold well since its launch in 2007, competing with cars like the Infiniti QX56–now called the QX80–and the Cadillac Escalade, with a price between the mid-$60,000 to the upper-$90,000 range, depending on the engine and equipment desired.
It's a luxury SUV without question, but its exterior design is more subdued than many of the other vehicles in the class. The GL wears a mix of soft curves and long angles, giving it the attractive qualities of a crossover, but with a gloss that's decidedly rugged-looking.
Inside, the GL takes another step up the luxury ladder. It doesn't look so different but some of the features are, like a larger seven-inch screen on the dash for infotainment, and the knob controller on its console that runs them through an operating system called COMAND. Wood trim and leather upholstery give the cabin a warm, rich feel.
The GL also gained some cool tech features last year. Mbrace2 is Mercedes' connectivity suite; it links smartphones to the COMAND system, which means you can search Yelp for a great meal or hit Google for web searches while on the road.
Bluetooth is standard on the 2014 GL, and so are HD radio, a sunroof, a power tailgate, and power third row seats. Step up into more expensive models and the GL adds iPod connectivity, satellite radio, a panoramic sunroof, 20-inch wheels, and a navigation system--most of which can be ordered as options on other models, along with push button start, Harmon/Kardon or Bang & Olufsen audio, a rear-seat entertainment system, and more exotic selections of wood and leather.
For performance, the GL relies on a trio of powertrains, all teamed to a paddle-shifted seven-speed automatic and four-wheel drive. The base GL is a turbodiesel six-cylinder with just 240 hp but 455 pound-feet of torque for 0-60 mph acceleration in about 8.3 seconds. Fuel economy is estimated as high as 24 mpg highway--one of the reasons the smooth, strong diesel is one of our favorite big SUVs of all.
Mercedes also offers a pair of gas V-8s in the new GL. The GL 450 has twin turbos and direct injection, and makes 362 horsepower for truly quick 0-60 mph times of about 6.2 seconds. The GL 550? It's even stronger, with an updated version of the same engine making 429 horsepower, pushing the SUV to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds. As you can guess, highway gas mileage drops into the high teens on both of these powerful family wagons. Meanwhile, the GL 63 AMG pushes out 550 hp and acceleration times of under five seconds.
Of all the full-size luxury SUVs, the GL utes have some of the best road manners. Electric power steering is new, and though it isn't full of feedback, it's not loose or overly light. The GL's independent suspension has air shocks that give it a pillowy ride, and some versions offer an adaptive suspension that counteracts body lean. We'd normally prefer a more basic solution, but this way, a wider spread between comfort and sport driving modes tailors the GL to more drivers.
For off-roaders there's a package that add a low range, a locking center differential, tuned traction and stability control, and adjustable ride height that lifts the GL from 8.5 inches of ground clearance to a full foot. The trio of GL utes can tow up to 7500 pounds, too.
The GL's cabin is bigger and more comfortable than before. It's about an inch longer and an inch wider, and a half inch taller. In front, passenger can ride on ventilated seats with massage controls. The second-row seats can be heated. But the best trick the GL does is its new flip and fold feature. Not only do the power-folding third-row seats stow for more cargo space, the second-row seats tuck away with optional power assistance. It's not as large as a long-wheelbase Escalade, but the GL's interior is just immense.
On the safety front, the GL picks up a slew of new technologies. The usual airbags and stability control join a new 360-degree camera that adapts its display as you dial into a parking spot. The GL can also park itself, with available active park assist. Lane keeping assist nudges it back into a lane if you cross the median, and collision prevention assistance will bring the GL to a stop if it detects an obstacle in the road ahead at speeds of up to 20 mph.

I was curious if anyone has ever come across this error in the event log and has a fix.
Event Type: Error
Event Source: DCOM
Event Category: None
Event ID: 10009
Date: 1/10/2012
Time: 1:10:00 PM
User: WORKGROUP\xxxxxxxx
Computer: abc
DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer xyz.xxxxxxx.com using any of the configured protocols.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
The computer xyz no longer exist on the network but computer abc keeps logging this over and over in the event viewer. I checked DNS and found no trace of xyz. I checked the printers on the machine none point to xyz. I checked shared drives also. Nothing on the computer points to xyz just the error. I checked the DCOM settings as microsoft suggested and found nothing wrong. I have come across this like 3-4 times here at this one client and every time prior to this the only way I could resolve this was by blowing away the os and rebuilding. But this user has many specialized apps for the printers he has because he does a bulk of the printing for this construction company. Any one have any ideas? This is a recently built with in the last year thinkcentre S20 running XP.

This might be a case in which a certain application is trying to reach the server or remote computer which is tied to that application
Most probably a firewall exception trying to reach the server and the server is no more on the network but in your case the its workstation that is un-joined from the network.
Try to identify which component on the source workstation is trying to contact an external (maybe on the network) application.
For firewall exception, try these link:

There are quite a few comments about this error at http://www.eventid.net/display-eventid-10009-source-DCOM-eventno-579-phase-1.htm - it appears that in many instances, printers cause this though it may not be easy to see which one points to that particular computer. Some had to reinstall and the printer drivers to get rid of it but in your case it doesn't sound like a good idea to do that. If this is happening at predictable intervals, maybe you can capture the network traffic and hopefully get some clues about what application is doing this (I use the free Ethereal analyzer for this type of troubleshooting)
Jan 31, 2012 at 2:04 UTC
Just a quick update on this, I believe I may have found the issue. I found another machine logging the same error and after uninstalling Forefront Client security and then reinstalling it the errors have appeared to stop showing up in the event viewer. This pc recently had the name on it changed and I am thinking that forefront had a reference to the original name stored somewhere.

There is news this month that Google will be moving to make mobile device searches more important than desktop searches.
Google is calling it "Mobile First".
Google has been reporting for some time that more searches are being done on mobile devices than desktop computers.
The actual quote from the 6th November 2016;
"Today, most people are searching on Google using a mobile device. However, our ranking systems still typically look at the desktop version of a page's content to evaluate its relevance to the user. This can cause issues when the mobile page has less content than the desktop page because our algorithms are not evaluating the actual page that is seen by a mobile searcher.
To make our results more useful, we've begun experiments to make our index mobile-first. Although our search index will continue to be a single index of websites and apps, our algorithms will eventually primarily use the mobile version of a site's content to rank pages from that site, to understand structured data, and to show snippets from those pages in our results.
Of course, while our index will be built from mobile documents, we're going to continue to build a great search experience for all users, whether they come from mobile or desktop devices."
Doantam Phan, Product Manager. Google.
So what should you do?
Most mobile websites do not have either the level of content or the ease of navigation that a desktop allows. Especially ecommerce websites, and this is where the problem will really hit, in my opinion.
If your website has been made to be "responsive" i.e. to change its layout when presented on a small screen, then you need to ensure that it is very, very easy to use.
We all know how annoying it is to have to scroll down and down to get to the actual page contents, then we can easily get lost using a small screen.
Most website owners have ensured that their website will display OK, but now they need to ensure that their developers and designers have really understood the mobile device market and test for usability in that area.
We don't know when the main impact of this change will happen. But it is on it's way. You have been warned.
My concerns about the reasoning for the change
I know why Google is making this change, but I feel it's a bit sad that they are reacting to folks who perhaps do not use the Internet for business. For example, "Facebookers", "snap chatterers" and the younger generations generally.
I think that statistics on what is being used to access search is skewed by those types of users' activity levels.
For example, the young can spend hours a day on their phones as an escape route from their tedious world, but businesses use search to find all important products and services that their business actually needs.
It seems odd that whilst Google is pushing for mobile to be more important in search, it is the desktop using businesses who are buying their advertising. Be careful Google!
If you are interested in keeping up to date with this and other web related items then please drop me line and I will add you to the list. Most folks don't like auto subscribe, that's why I haven't provided one. Email me at email@example.com.
No spam I promise.

Cookie-cutter Condo Central
{Hoboken is} Cookie-cutter Condo Central
Looking at how some sections of Hoboken are finally "shaping up," as the last few parcels of land are getting built on – it's makes me wonder.
One, some condo spots in town look practically identical to each other. I can imagine how some people (if they had too much to drink), might actually get lost and confused walking home. Condos look that similar. Like a manufactured village. Or something out of The Truman Show. (Which was a great movie, BTW…)
Two, I'm also curious about the longevity of these cookie-cutter condos they slap together. Using the lowest possible building materials and so on. Some apartments we've lived at in Hoboken were built in the 1800's – and still had another 100+ years of life left in them.
How long can these cheaply-built places last before needing gut-renovations or completely leveled and re-built from the ground up?
Sure some taller buildings (concrete and steel) could last a long time – but it's more these wood & aluminum 4-5 story entire square block buildings I'd be more concerned about long-term.
Either way, the overall feel in the newer areas isn't synonymous with "neighborhood" the way the older areas feel. You hardly ever see people out on their stoops talking with one another. Just empty sidewalks with an occasional person heads-down on their phone walking by.
What could be done to inspire developers to "Make Hoboken Neighborhoods Great Again?" Or is it way too late?

Australian Cerebral Palsy Child Study: protocol of a prospective population based study of motor and brain development of preschool aged children with cerebral palsy
Neuromuscular disorders
Cerebral palsy (CP) results from a static brain lesion during pregnancy or early life and remains the most common cause of physical disability in children (1 in 500). While the brain lesion is static, the physical manifestations and medical issues may progress resulting in altered motor patterns. To date, there are no prospective longitudinal studies of CP that follow a birth cohort to track early gross and fine motor development and use Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to determine the anatomical pattern and likely timing of the brain lesion. Existing studies do not consider treatment costs and outcomes. This study aims to determine the pathway(s) to motor outcome from diagnosis at 18 months corrected age (c.a.) to outcome at 5 years in relation to the nature of the brain lesion (using structural MRI).
This prospective cohort study aims to recruit a total of 240 children diagnosed with CP born in Victoria (birth years 2004 and 2005) and Queensland (birth years 2006–2009). Children can enter the study at any time between 18 months to 5 years of age and will be assessed at 18, 24, 30, 36, 48 and 60 months c.a. Outcomes include gross motor function (GMFM-66 & GMFM-88), Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS); musculoskeletal development (hip displacement, spasticity, muscle contracture), upper limb function (Manual Ability Classification System), communication difficulties using Communication and Symbolic Behaviour Scales-Developmental Profile (CSBS-DP), participation using the Paediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI), parent reported quality of life and classification of medical and allied health resource use and determination of the aetiology of CP using clinical evaluation combined with MRI. The relationship between the pathways to motor outcome and the nature of the brain lesion will be analysed using multiple methods including non-linear modelling, multilevel mixed-effects models and generalised estimating equations.
This protocol describes a large population-based study of early motor development and brain structure in a representative sample of preschool aged children with CP, using direct clinical assessment. The results of this study will be published in peer reviewed journals and presented at relevant international conferences.
Trial registration
Australia and New Zealand Clinical Trials Register (ACTRN1261200169820)
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a disorder of movement and posture secondary to an insult to the developing brain
Cerebral Palsy registers have provided us with some understanding of the aetiologies of CP and specific outcome studies
Previous studies
Hip displacement is the second most common musculoskeletal problem in children with CP
There have been several large studies that have evaluated prospective motor development in children with CP. The Ontario Motor Study (OMGS) collated over 2,632 GMFM assessments on 657 children with an average of four observations per child
In the European Cerebral Palsy study
Pathogenic events impacting on the brain cause different patterns of structural abnormality in CP
Figure 1
Major events in human brain development
Major events in human brain development. Pathogenic events (both genetic and non-genetic) affect the developing brain to cause malformations or lesions, the patterns of which will depend on the stage of brain development during which the event occurs.
It is necessary to attempt to determine the underlying aetiology/pathogenesis to confirm the suspicion of a static lesion, exclude a treatable disorder and diagnose a malformation, which may have significant genetic counselling implications for the family. In addition, these patterns of brain maldevelopments or lesions offer excellent models to study the normal mechanisms of organisation and reorganisation in the developing brain
A recent systematic review investigated the relationship between brain structure on MRI and motor outcomes in children with CP

Examples of different types of structural brain abnormalities in cerebral palsy All images are axial T2-weighted MRI scans. Each image is subtitled by its presumed aetiology and timing during gestation. a is a child with lissencephaly showing cortical thickening and agyria. b is a child with congenital cytomegalovirus infection showing an overfolded cortex (polymicrogyria), thin white matter and dilated lateral ventricles. c is an ex premature child showing cystic white matter injury (arrows) consistent with periventricular leukomalacia. d is a child who suffered a haemorrhagic stroke in the newborn period. There is cortical and white matter loss in the right frontal and parietal lobes (arrowheads) consistent with previous ischaemia.
In the Australian CP child study (NHMRC 465128) entire birth years of Victorian and Queensland born children with CP are prospectively entered and will be followed intensively to determine the relationship between the rate and limit of motor development (gross and fine motor function) as related to the nature of the brain lesion. Secondarily the influence of musculoskeletal deformity (hip displacement, spasticity and muscle contracture) and location and extent of brain injury will be related to the rate and pattern of motor disability. The parent report of their child's ability to participate in society and perceived quality of life will be compared across motor severity. Finally the level of motor functioning will be correlated with direct medical and allied health costs and outcomes including school readiness (see study flow chart, Figure

Aims and hypotheses
This study aims to determine the pathway(s) to motor outcome (gross and fine motor) from diagnosis at 18 months to outcome at 5 years in relation to the nature of the brain lesion (using structural MRI). These aims will be explored through the following hypotheses:
1 The rate of motor development (gross motor function) from 18 months will be related to the limit of attainment at 5 years (Gross Motor Function Classification, GMFCS level).
2a The pattern of motor disability (motor type and distribution) will correlate with the location, presumed timing and nature of the brain lesion(s).
2b The severity of motor disability in CP (age of onset or signs) will correlate with the location, extent and nature of the brain lesion (on structural MRI).
3 The rate and limit of motor development will be influenced by the severity of musculoskeletal deformity (i.e. slower motor development will correlate with marked hip displacement, increased spasticity and reduced range of motion in the lower limb).
4 Children with lower levels of function will have higher direct medical and allied health costs.
Study significance
This unique project will
1. Allow clinicians to better predict the functional outcomes of children with CP from an earlier age based on their rate and limit of gross motor abilities and nature and severity of their brain lesion.
2. Determine the nature and timing of physical deformities including hip displacement to guide the timing and intensity of interventions.
3. Provide comprehensive data on the relationship between the nature of the brain lesion, rate of musculoskeletal deformity and impact on the child's ability to participate in the community.
4. Information on resource use for future planning of medical and therapy services.
All children diagnosed with CP, born in the years 1st January, 2004 to 31st December, 2005 in Victoria, Australia and 1st January 2006 till 31st December, 2009 born in Queensland, Australia will be entered (n = 240). We define Cerebral Palsy as a permanent (but not unchanging) disorder of movement and posture that results from an insult to the developing central nervous system. The characteristic signs are spasticity, movement disorders, muscle weakness, ataxia and rigidity
Exclusion criteria
1. Children with a progressive or neurodegenerative lesion.
2. Children born outside of Victoria or Queensland in the relevant birth years.
Ethics approvals
Ethics committee approvals have been gained through The Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne Ethics Committee, (HREC/25010 F), Southern Health Human Research Ethics Committee C (05077C), University of Queensland Medical Research Ethics Committee (2007001784), the Children's Health Services District Ethics Committee (HREC/07/QRCH/107), the Mater Health Services Human Research Ethics Committee (1186C), the Queensland Cerebral Palsy Register at the Cerebral Palsy League of Queensland (CPLQ 2008/ 09–1010), Gold Coast Health Service District Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC/08/QGC/45), Central Queensland Health Services District Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC/08/QCQ/19), Cairns and Hinterland Health Service District Human research Ethics Committee (HREC/08/QCHHS/521) and the Townsville Health Service District Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC/08/QTHS/33). There are no known health or safety risks associated with participation in any aspect of the described study. All families will give written informed consent to participate, and they are able to withdraw their child from the study at any time without explanation, without any penalty from staff at the Royal Children's Hospital or University of Queensland, or any effect on their child's care. Data collected in this study will be stored in a coded re-identifiable form (by ID number). Each child has multiple assessment appointments across the duration of the study, which necessitates data to be re-identifiable.
Ascertainment of the cohort
Prospective entry of birth years born in Victoria (born in 2004 and 2005) and Queensland (born in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009) entered at 18 months will be followed until school age (5 years) (n = 240-360). Study recruitment commenced in July 2005 (at 18 months c.a.) for children born in January 2004 and continues in Queensland according the above birth years.
State wide recruitment has been established in collaboration with the relevant Cerebral Palsy Registers with data collection at tertiary referral hospitals. Community awareness has been generated through campaigns aimed at paediatricians (Division of Paediatrics & Child Health), general practitioners, allied health professionals, maternal and child health nurses, and neonatal follow-up clinics. These groups have been encouraged to refer children with motor delay (not sitting at 10 months, not standing at 12 months not walking at 24 months) for confirmation of a diagnosis of cerebral palsy. Families of children identified through the relevant CP Register have been approached after permission to contact the family has been given by their treating clinician or direct referral to the study by families whom have provided consent to be entered onto the Queensland CP Register (QCPR). Specialist clinics have been established at the tertiary referral centres where suitability for the study can be confirmed. In cases where the diagnosis of CP is unclear, or where there is a suggestion of a progressive or degenerative course, further investigations (such as metabolic screening) will be requested before a diagnosis of CP is confirmed. Parents have then been invited to participate in the study and give informed consent. High ascertainment is expected for children with moderate to marked motor delay (GMFCS III to IV) and this has been the case for children born preterm and children referred to surveillance clinics at tertiary referral centres. Children born at term with mild motor delay (GMFCS level I, II) and predominant lower limb involvement (diplegia) are typically identified through the CP orthopaedic services and spasticity management clinics. Children with hemiplegia (GMFCS level I and II) are detected early through the surveillance clinics and occupational therapy services. Children who are detected after 18 months of age will be entered into the study at the time of diagnosis, will be offered brain MRI at entry and be followed up with serial motor assessments and other outcomes until outcome at 5 years.
Measurements and procedures
Following confirmation of a diagnosis of CP, eligible children are entered from 18 months corrected age. They will be assessed for diagnostic criteria, co-morbidities and for differential diagnosis by neurological assessment (by a Paediatrician, Child Neurologist or Paediatric Rehabilitation Specialist). Experienced Physiotherapy researchers will perform all GMFM assessments adjacent to either clinic visit and perform collection of range of motion, clinical measures of spasticity, then rate GMFCS, gait pattern, MACs and measures of pelvic radiographs according to standardized protocols.
Primary measures
The aim of the present study is to gather information regarding the longitudinal measurement of Gross Motor Function (GMFM-66) from 18 months to 5 years
A. the
i. localisation by tissue (e.g. cortical, white matter, deep grey matter etc.)
ii. localisation by region (e.g. lobes involved, laterality etc.)
iii. extent of lesion (e.g. generalised, hemispheric, lobar etc.)
B. the presumed
C. the presumed
i. Prenatal by trimester or by stage of brain development;
ii. Perinatal;
iii. Postnatal.
All MRIs will be classified by a neurologist together with a neuroradiologist using a standardised method of image evaluation and classification. Following these evaluations, consensus will be reached regarding the above three criteria. We estimate that 70–80 percent of children currently receiving a diagnosis of CP will have had brain MRI as part of their clinical work-up. The American Academy of Neurology has concluded that a brain MRI should be part of the diagnosis of CP in a previous practice parameter
Brain lesion severity will be assessed using a structured scoring proforma
Gross motor function
At each assessment gross motor function is evaluated using the GMFM-66 & GMFM-88
Secondary measures
Gross motor function classification system (GMFCS)
The Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) is a five level classification system of children's functional gross motor severity. It is based on self-initiated movements, anti-gravity postures and motor skills expected in a typical five year old
Motor type & distribution
Motor type of CP will be classified as spastic, dystonic, ataxic, hypotonic, choreoathetosis, mixed CP or unclassifiable according to SCPE guidelines
Motor performance
Functional performance will be scored on the Functional Mobility Scale (FMS). This is a valid and reliable measure of a child's usual walking ability at three distances (5 m, 50 m and 500 m), representing their home, school and wider community
Gait pattern classification
Gait patterns will be classified according to the Rodda & Graham's Classification for spastic diplegia
Upper limb function
Upper limb function is classified using the Manual Ability Classification system (MACs)
Radiological measures of hip displacement
Hip surveillance, including anterior-posterior (AP) pelvis x-ray, is recommended for all Australian children with CP to facilitate early detection and treatment of severe or progressive hip displacement
Musculoskeletal development
A comprehensive musculoskeletal examination will be performed by paediatric physiotherapists recording data relating to joint range of movement, muscle length, leg length difference, bony anomalies, motor type and muscle contracture.
Clinical history and examination
At study entry including a comprehensive clinical history and examination at study entry is performed by a paediatrician, child neurologist or rehabilitation physician. The following information is collected:
a. Presence or absence of vision impairment, hearing difficulties; epilepsy;
b. Feeding issues including presence or absence of gastrostomy tube and failure to thrive;
c. Respiratory difficulties including episodes of pneumonia and aspiration;
d. Speech and language development.
Children's participation will be assessed (i) via parent-report on the domains of self-care, mobility and social functioning using the scaled scores of the Paediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) which has good validity and reliability
Medical and allied health resource use
In order to determine the relationship between motor prognosis and medical and allied health resource use, the direct costs of treatment will be monitored and compared to outcomes with adjustment for confounders such as disease severity.
Communication difficulties will be examined by parent self-report on the Communication and Symbolic Behaviour Scales–Developmental Profile (CSBS-DP) Infant-Toddler Checklist
Epilepsy is common in CP, occurring in around 50% of children
Data analysis plan
A comprehensive database has been established for all data collection, including clinical measures, MRI scoring and questionnaires so that it is entered prospectively at the time of each assessment. Summary reports are automatically generated from the database to report back to families and treating clinicians after each visit. Our biostatistician will supervise the statistical methods proposed in this study, including analysis of binary outcomes in longitudinal studies using weighted estimating equations (e.g. presence of co morbidities); multilevel mixed-effects models of longitudinal binary outcomes (e.g. GMFCS levels), and generalised estimating equations for ordinal data.
For hypothesis I: Raw GMFM total score will be converted to GMFM-66, Rasch analysed scores. The GMFM-66 data will then be plotted by age in months for the entire cohort then according to GMFCS group. Parameters of a non-linear model of motor development will be estimated using non-linear fixed effects modelling for children according to their GMFCS level. The model uses two parameters, the estimated rate and limit of motor development. Other complex, longitudinal analysis methods such as multilevel mixed-effects models and generalised estimating equations
Sample size calculations
For Hypothesis 1 six measurements are planned for each participant between 18 months and 5 years of age. A sample size of 40–50 per group (GMFCS I-V will give a total of 240 patients) for a two-group comparison of slopes in a linear model of motor development will have 80% power
For Hypothesis 2 for comparisons among MRI classification levels (anticipating 43% PVL brain loss, 16% BG damage, 16% cortical/subcortical, 12% malformation/miscellaneous, and 10% normal from
This study protocol describes the rationale, aims, hypotheses and methods for a large prospective longitudinal population-based study of early motor development and brain structure in a representative sample of preschool aged children with Cerebral Palsy, using direct clinical assessment. The results of this study will be published in peer reviewed journals and presented at relevant international conferences.

Lentils With Panch Phoran (Dal)
Recipe by Outta Here
This dish is good served with rice and vegetable curries. Panch phoran can be made from my Panch Phoran. You can find all of these ingredients in an Indian spice shop or deli. If you double the recipe, cook time will need to be doubled also.
Top Review by LifeIsGood
This is the first time I've tried mung beans (or moong beans) and red lentils. I was surprised that the red color completely vanished while cooking. The flavors are really very good. I do think that the mung beans need more cook time than the lentils because they were a bit crunchy. Made for ZWT8 India. Thank you!
See Discussion:2 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup red lentil
- 1⁄2 cup mung beans (moong dal, dehulled)
- 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups cold water
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 pinch asafoetida powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon panch phoron (try Panch Phoran)
- 1 plum tomato, seeded and finely chopped
- 1⁄4 teaspoon turmeric
Directions See How It's Made
- In a bowl, rinse the lentils and mung beans well and pick out discolored beans. Drain in a sieve and put into a heavy pot with the salt and cold water. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, to prevent sticking. When lentils are tender, remove from heat.
- Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add asafetida and panch phoran, stir and allow spices to sizzle, about 30 seconds.
- Add tomato and turmeric. Work mixture with wooden spoon into a puree. Cook about 3 minutes.
- Add tomato mixture to the cooked lentil mixture and simmer about 5 minutes.
- Serve.

I'm not sure if it's bad luck uploading these outfit photographs a couple of days late but oh well, the festivities have taken over my calendar so I've been ultra busy! I never really get into the festive mood but I do enjoy all the parties and catching up with old friends. For Christmas Day I decided to wear this white lace blouse which I bought about 3 years ago and rarely wear. I have no idea why because I do really love it but it's just one of those items that has been lost at the back of my wardrobe for years. I paired it with my disco pants which was a massive risk considering the meal I was about to eat! Surprisingly they gave a bit during the day so didn't restrict my appetite!
I'm a big fan of statement necklaces this season so wore an aztec block style necklace which is also an old purchase that rarely gets worn. It's quite tight around the neck so is a bit uncomfortable but it does look really effective when worn with the right outfit. I added a festive touch with the red cherry lipstick. I do think Tom Ford lipsticks are ridiculously expensive but I borrowed this off my mum so saved myself the pennies!

Hidden Field Not Populated to HREF Except MailtoAsked by antoniooi on January 23, 2014 at 05:12 AM
Hi JotForm Support,
I noticed that the hidden field filled with valid URL is unable to populate the HREF attribute of an anchor except for anchor tag with"mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com" as shown below:
Email: {tpemail26}

Hello antoniooi,
Upon checking, I found it to be working fine.
I created a test form and added two hidden box which populates the anchor tag in auto responder email. Please take a look at this form: https://secure.jotformpro.com/form/40223226356951?
Please use a valid email address in form and the auto responder email will have the correct anchor tag. Do check and get back to us if this works for you.
Thank you!
I can't import your form to check your work. I received this error:
No form found on the page. Please check the source code you provided
Meanwhile, if you read my previous post again, I didn't say my mailto URL got problem; I said my hidden field with valid web URL cannot be populated into the HREF of my anchor tag. No problem for my mailto.
To make my explanation clearer, the below marked with RED is having problem:

Hello antoniooi,
Please try the following form URL to clone form:
I believe the mailto and the href both works fine. Do check and let me know if the example in my form is exactly what you want.
Thank you!
I don't understand why your forum editor always want to auto-insert to distort my message and to create further confusion.
When looking at your code, I saw you placed a forward slash (/) before the {url} variable. So are you trying to tell me that I need to put a "/" before my URL variable?
Secondly, your hidden field value doesn't seem to be a FULL URL: www.jotform.com without http://. If I'm not interpreting wrongly, your actual URL could become:
This is weird and not intuitive to promote learning. It's not a natural way for users to implement your hidden field variables when comes to HREF for anchor tag.
Anyway, I used the same form you created and replaced www.jotform.com to http://www.malaysiatraining.net/2012/05/Knowledge-Hub-Asia.html without removing your "/", it works too. I will try the same way on my own form and let you know the result by tomorrow.

Just moved from NJ to CA with Moovers. Right from the beginning: Estimate to Delivery, it was a pleasant and courteous experience. I was actually a bit apprehensive about handing over the move due to the various stories that I had read online. However, I am glad that I chose Moovers with my move. I really appreciate the care with which all the stuff was handled. All of their people that visited were very nice and thoroughly professional. As noted by other reviewer, everything was inventoried and delivered "As Is", no breakage / scratches. I would highly recommend Moovers to anyone looking for a move. People that I met / interacted with: Aleksy, Charles, Mark in NJ for loading and Christian (who drove all the way from NJ) and Troy who helped unload and assemble – GREAT JOB.. Thank You All… Cheers!!! Looking at the stress involved in moving, I would not want to move anywhere, but if I do, I SHALL definitely look to move with you. Thanks once again… Wish you all the best … Shiva
Shiva K
From my first conversation with the representative of this company to the last conversation with the movers, my experience was fantastic. They were professional, courteous and quick with moving our office. They were careful as they packed up our furniture and office equipment; and they unpacked everything in the new office and set it up for us. Michael D. & Howard M. were friendly and efficient. I would highly recommend this company for any type of move. Your search is over, call them now!
Karetha H.
Stunningly fast, careful, courteous and reasonably priced. These folks moved me from SF 25 miles north. I'd hire them again without question.
Gail C.
I had a great move with Moovers from San Francisco to Connecticut. From the beginning, Moovers was professional and more accommodating than the large van lines. I highly recommend using Moovers. I was amazed at how smoothly my move went, and I will use them without hesitation for any long-distance moves in the future.
Sarala N.
We had an awesome move with Moovers. This was our first long distance move so I was a little intimidated by the whole process, but Moovers made the experience painless. Greg came by a few weeks prior to give us an estimate. He was extremely professional and pleasant and quoted us a reasonable price. Darren and crew did a stellar job from start to finish with the actual move. Everything – from the boxes to the bigger things like furniture – was packed into the moving van quickly and efficiently. They loaded a 3 bedroom house worth of things within a matter of just a few hours. Since our move was from Nor Cal to Central Cali the unpacking was done the next day. And same as the day before, Darren and Howard were amazing. They were polite, friendly, and skillful at their job. I could not ask for a better experience. I highly doubt we will be moving any time soon, but if we ever do I'll be sure to use Moovers, Inc. again.
They were extremely thorough. They didn't mess up any furniture. They took their time and did very well. I was very impressed with everything. They did a fabulous inventory. Nothing was scratched or broken. They came on time, took it all down, and put it back together. They were pleasant. It was just wonderful.
Richard K.
They were professional and straightforward. They came and did the job. They packed everything and they got everything out. I didn't have any problems with them. Of the moving companies I have dealt with in the past, they were the best.

What Would You Charge For This Cake?
Decorating By KsCakes09 Updated 16 Apr 2015 , 4:05pm by -K8memphis
Need help with pricing out this cake. What is the going rate for fondant covered cakes? Also not sure how to price out each Figure since I would probably take more time than a more experienced decorator so I can't really charge by the hour. Can anyone suggest or know what the average cost of figures similar to those in the photo would be. Thanks!!
**ONLY making the bottom 2 tiers of the cake in the photo
Forgot to include: its for 50 servings
anyone have suggestions. PLEASE!
i wouldn't know im only an amateur but there are pricing guides on pinterest if that helps any
Pricing depends on sooooo many different factors the *MOST IMPORTANT* one being one CANNOT sell Disney themed cakes!
The other factors to consider when pricing cakes would be your location; are you capable of such an intense design; do you bake scratch or mix are just a few of them; what are your investment costs (ALL supplies, ingredients used such as fondant, coloring, board(s), boxes; actual baking supplies be it mix or flour, sugar etc to create the cake alone) and how long it takes to create your masterpieces.
That's one very detailed cake - I would guess it might take 30 hours to make. So cost of ingredients + materials + utilities + hourly rate. In Australia, I would charge $600-$800 for that for 50 serves or $12-$15 per serve.
To gauge the market in your area you are best to check out websites of your local cake decorators. Many offer a pricing guide - it helps to weed out the time wasted quoting to people who think a $300 cake will cost $25. They have helpful guides, like "fondant cakes start at $xxx). That would be their cheapest price based on economies of scale ie 100-200 serves. So use that information to formulate your own pricing guides.
For figurines, there are many people who sell fondant figurines on Etsy. Checking out the various listings gives you a good indication of what the market price for figurines is (even if they can knock one out in a hour and it takes you 5 hours).
The best rule I learnt so far in business - is, if I get sick, injured, or whatever and need to pay someone to make that cake on my behalf, or buy ready-made elements, what will they charge me. No they wont want to work for $2 hour to the wee hours of the morning, so neither should I quote like that is the going rate.
WOW! 30 hours? I was not planning for that, that's for sure. I have confidence I can do something very similar but it will take a lot of time, but wasn't thinking 30 hours. Are you talking baking & decorating? I've never had a cake with quite this many figures on it & your right, they always take longer to make than you think. I am a home baker and I usually don't charge what I should, I think because I don't have an actual "Shop" I can't charge as much as bakeries do. Most bakeries in my area don't offer cakes this detailed or at least they don't advertise on their website. The price guidelines they list are very vague ("custom cakes are priced on an individual basis") so its very hard to figure it out where to start.
I think Magic Mouthfuls is right on target with the 30 hour assessment. If you are making the fondant you also have to count the time it will take to mix all those colors, that alone will take quite a bit of time. There is so much fondant detail, 30 hours might be a conservative estimate. You should definitely find out their budget. They probably look at it and think, "That's probably pretty expensive... maybe $90?" Ha! Cake civilians have NO idea!
Yes I do make all my own fondant & your right the coloring of it for each detail/figure always takes some time. I guess I'd like to know what is a good base fondant cake price? I was originally thinking $4.50/serv. then add $10 per figure. Again I guess I'm not charging enough. Thanks for all your helpful info :)
i'm seeing that a little different the list totals maybe 4 hours for modeling -- then add time for coloring the fondant but these are all primary type colors not elaborate mixing -- you can buy these colors pre-mixed -- you gotta bake the cake and cover with fondant --
and i think the times i list below are generous but i think this is close to realistic -- pipe the windshield on the car when you have the royal ready for the snow blobs
- 1/2 hour 2 lanterns & a car
- 1/4 hour candy canes, christmas lights (made at different times)
- 1/2 hour 4-5 trees
- 1/4 hour doorway, window
- 1/4 hour 3 presents, 2 signs
- 1/2 hour 21 snowflakes
- 1 1/2 hours 4 figurines
- 1/4 hour royal icing snow blob borders
i mean you might need to put a few details like the windshield on the car after it sets up some snow on the trees but a certain amount of time is allowed for decor anyhow
You must be some kind of modeling speed demon Kate! There is no way I could model 4 figures in 1 1/2 hours! I made one hiking guy with a backpack in an evening - remember us slow poke home bakers! Plus we're only seeing the front.
yes of course, pbl -- but it's another perspective -- not that either way is right nor are they the only two ways to do it -- for the back i would make/add more presents & candy canes, a window or two -- the 21 snowflakes would go all the way around -- i wouldn't use any figurines back there maybe a tree -- but break it all down -- think in terms of sausages and balls -- easy peasy -- they are not super detailed designs --
k8memphis- what would you charge per figure? I don't have a supply of premade fondant. I make homemade MMF & color as needed. Its too costly to buy all different colors of premade fondant to use just for decorations here & there.
I would charge for 2-3 hours of additional work on this cake -- because i have an hour or two decorating time built into my price per serving anyhow --
the reason i mentioned pre-colored fondant is because it makes the job quicker and saves your hands - all the choices are up to you - but this is another reason why the average home caker doesn't compete with the average pro -- just the way it is
then again the above average home caker comes up with some doozies sometimes that a pro would never want/get to sell because the cost for the client is too high and the time is too much --
so it definitely goes both ways

An elegant essay recalling the tradition of Chesterton, Lewis, Merton, and Muggeridge, George Roche's A World Without Heroes harshly rebukes secular humanism as the most dehumanizing force of our modern age. This ringing defense of Christianity, humorous, insightful, and uncompromising, takes careful and timeless aim at those ideas which have shriveled the will of the West and the faith of millions. Marxism, Dadaism, Aesthetism, Empiricism, the author identifies these as the intellectual hallmarks of the anti-heroic vision which threatens to dominate the West. We live, he says, in a world without heroes, a world which rarely challenges evolution as the "origin" of all life and where natural selection is sold to the public as if it were our only hope of salvation. Even the faithful are loathe to challenge these ideas, living as they are in an era enervated by materialism in which to be a high-profile Christian means being stereotyped as narrow-minded, unenlightened, and, worst of all, "unscientific".
But Roche denies the anti-heroic vision: life did not, he asserts, simply evolve from dead matter; to believe in evolution without a divine intercessor itself is an act of faith. We cannot, says Roche, deduce a Mother Teresa from the processes of natural selection. Human goodness testifies that man is not merely a beast distinguishable from other species only by his higher intelligence. Moreover, he charges, there is a particular brand of science which has been elevated to a religion. Science with a capital "S", pulling off the greatest hoax of all time by investing itself with an aura of objectivity it does not possess.
The product of careful scholarship and a lifetime of earnest reflection, A World Without Heroes presents a broad and penetrating history of four centuries of cultural, intellectual, scientific, and Christian thought.
