An architecture with simple but minimal beauty, an architecture that resembles the colors of nature and harmonizes well with the trees brought from the owner's private forest was aimed to be created.
The design's starting point of this project was to produce a minimal architecture that is as simple as possible but still has distinction in order to create comfort in a space that is formed harmoniously with nature on an uneven and rough geometric terrain.
An architecture with a simple and warm beauty. Unlike the exterior, the interior was arranged with modern and minimal finishing materials and colors to sublimate into a somewhat contradictory beauty.
The interior's sense of space was aimed to be increased with the high ceiling of the interior gable roof, which pursues the design of an open concept. The harmony of architecture and space, and human and nature becomes the subject.
An architecture where the concept of space and design is prioritized rather than the maximization of the use of floor area ratio, and one that keeps another kind of charm as grime and traces are stained with time, an architecture with beautiful lines, mass and proportion, all of this was this project's main design intention.
The modest and simple architecture and space design will create another charm made by the refined culture and colors that will fill this place in the future along with the sensitivity given by the nature, and the mountains, forest and wind, which will be enjoyed by those who visit this place, will become a space of healing the mind and body to all.
소박하고 따뜻한 아름다움이 있는 건축. 외부와는 달리 내부는 모던하고 미니멀한 마감재와 색감으로 정리해 조금은 상반된 느낌의 아름다움으로 승화시키고 싶었다. 실내 박공지붕의 높은 천고는 개방형 콘셉트의 디자인을 추구하여 실내의 공간감을 높여 주고 싶었다. 건축과 공간 그리고 사람과 자연의 조화가 주제가 된다.
용적율을 최대한 이용하기 보다는 공간의 개념과 디자인을 우선시 하고 시간이 흐를수록 때와 흔적이 묻어갈수록 또다른 멋을 간직하는 건축, 선과 매스 그리고 비율이 아름다운 건축, 이 모두가 이번 프로젝트의 주된 디자인의도이다. 소박하고 심플한 이번 건축과 공간디자인은 자연이 주는 감성과 더불어 앞으로 이곳을 채워 놓을 세련된 문화와 색감들이 또 다른 매력을 만들어 놓을 것이며 이곳을 찾는 이들이 즐길 산과 숲 그리고 바람은 모든 이들에게 심신을 치유할 공간이 될 것이다.

NEA President Becky Pringle blasts lawmakers for censoring educators, rewriting history in passionate USA Today Op-Ed
"This senseless fearmongering should be seen for what it is: a desperate attempt by some politicians to distract from their own failures..."
By: Miguel A. Gonzalez
WASHINGTON — As educators in 15 states face restrictive, dangerous legislation aimed at censoring educators from speaking about race and racism in the classroom, NEA President Becky Pringle shares her intimate and personal thoughts on these efforts to deny students the right to a truthful and honest education.
In an opinion piece published by USA Today on Tuesday, Pringle — a middle school science teacher and the first Black woman in more than two decades to lead the nation's largest teacher's union — takes direct aim at lawmakers for waging divisive culture wars in America's classrooms while ignoring the pressing needs of students and educators. She goes on to declare that NEA will support educators' freedom of speech, even if that leads to the courtroom.
Pringle's full op-ed can be found here and below.
USA TODAY: Our children deserve to know the truth. Honest education can't leave out race and racism.
My father was a proud and accomplished history teacher. He not only took seriously his responsibility to teach his students in school, but he also was dedicated to teaching his "students at home." When we were children, my Dad took my sisters and me on trips to learn the truth about our family roots, teaching my sisters and me the story of us. He wanted to unearth our family's past, but mostly he wanted his daughters to feel the soil beneath our feet. He wanted us to feel the tears and the triumph of our ancestors — those who survived and those who didn't. He never wanted us to forget our painful but proud history.
A descendant of enslaved Africans, who settled in Charlottesville, Virginia, he had a passion for sharing the rich and diverse history of the nation he loved. I can't imagine the thoughts and feelings evoked watching those white nationalists with Tikki torches marching down the streets of his beloved town where my ancestors were enslaved over one hundred years ago.
If my father had lived to see the year 2021, he would be heartbroken to bear witness to the war on truth and history raging today in U.S. classrooms. As a history teacher in the School District of Philadelphia, my dad knew it was his professional and moral responsibility to teach his students about the contributions of his ancestors and all of those whose stories were left out of textbooks.
At the end of the school year, his students not only had a better understanding of why they should be proud of the accomplishments of their country, but they were determined to take their place in the continuous struggle to demand it live up to its ideals.
My father instilled in me the importance of the truth. As a middle school science teacher for 30 years myself, I have always been committed to bringing honesty and truth to students in my classroom.
Today, 15 states have introduced or passed laws to censor teachers from speaking about race and racism and deny students the right to a truthful and honest education.
These dangerous attempts to stoke fears and rewrite history not only diminish the injustices experienced by generations of Americans, they prevent educators from challenging our students to achieve a more equitable future. These antics are government overreach that interferes with teachers' ability to do their jobs and students' ability to learn and grow.
What's worse, this revisionist history is being pushed by the very same politicians who time and again have denied our classrooms vital resources while demanding more and more from educators.
After more than a year of unimaginable challenges for educators and students, lawmakers are now more interested in waging culture wars instead of addressing the real needs of our students, schools and communities.
This senseless fear mongering should be seen for what it is: a desperate attempt by some politicians to distract from their own failures to address crumbling school infrastructure, embarrassingly low educator salaries, drastic racial inequities, and the very real problems facing students in our public schools, especially our students of color.
America, we must do better than this. Teaching all of our children — regardless of their race or ZIP code, whether Native or newcomer — means teaching them the truth. It means finding age-appropriate ways to have difficult conversations in the classroom. Educators are far stronger and more resilient than these misguided politicians give us credit for.
We can teach about the horrors of slavery, internment, and forced resettlement. We can have honest discussions about today's injustices and the threats to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that still exist for many. We can objectively present to students the good, bad and ugly of our past so that they can build a better, brighter future. Our students need to learn about the times when this country has lived up to its promise, and when it has not. Honesty. That's what they need from us. Truth. That's what they expect.
It was my father's life's work to have his students and his children understand and embrace our complete and compelling history and never stop the long and hard march toward freedom. Right now in America, that same righteous pursuit of justice my dad so valued can be seen and felt in classrooms in every corner of the country. From rural communities to inner cities, parents and educators want to give our students an education that imparts honesty about who we are as a nation, integrity in how we treat others, and courage to do what's right — and the nation's largest teacher's union has their back, even if that leads us to the courtroom.
As professionals, we — not politicians — know how best to teach our students. For the sake of our children, we have to stop playing politics with the truth. Our children deserve nothing less. Onward!

Your AR-15 is your favorite gun. It's the one you reach for first when heading out to go plinking with friends, to hunt, to train, or for home defense. And because you're so focused and dedicated, you're a high-volume shooter – you just wish it was a cheaper habit. With this Prvi Partizan .223 62 grain FMJBT ammunition, it's finally become more affordable. Founded in 1928 in Uzice, Serbia, Prvi Partizan has spent nearly 100 years creating ammunition for shooters like you who want to train at higher volumes. By ordering this 1000-round box of ammunition, you can reach for your AR-15 with greater frequency knowing you can feed it without emptying your wallet.
These are 62 grain rounds, so they're at the lighter end of the medium-weight range for this caliber. Lighter means higher velocities while being a little heavier increases impact. And these do not disappoint; they have a muzzle velocity of 3,051 feet per second and a muzzle energy of 1,275 foot-pounds. They're FMJBT (full metal jacket boat tail) rounds, making them ideal for target practice, training, and plinking because they do not expand. Their boat tails make them a nice choice for distance shots; the design is meant to increase cross-wind resistance and ballistic coefficiency. And because they have fresh brass, boxer-primed cases, they can be reloaded.
Don't deny yourself the time you really want with your AR-15. Place your order today to finally be able to spend hours firing your rifle like you've always wanted to. Prvi Partizan has decades of experience creating this ammunition; they're the sole suppliers for the Serbian military and police, and their products are purchased around the globe. Your rifle is hungry, and you want to feed it; now you can.

FDA approves "female Viagra"
NBC Nightly News reported that the Food and Drug Administration has approved Addyi (flibanserin), a drug that "works in a woman's brain to solve a chemical imbalance among three neurotransmitters" that impact sexual desire.
The CBS Evening News noted that the drug, which is designed to treat pre-menopausal women, is the first drug approved to boost female libido.
According to ABC World News, Sprout Pharmaceutical believes the drug could be prescribed "for as many as 10 percent of women" and will be available in mid-October.
On the front of its Business Day section, the New York Times reports that the approval is "a victory for a lobbying campaign that had accused the Food and Drug Administration of gender bias for ignoring the sexual needs of women."
However, critics have said the campaign "made a mockery of the system that regulates pharmaceuticals and had co-opted the women's movement."
The Washington Post reports in "Health & Science" that the approval "comes with a series of conditions reflecting the agency's concerns about serious side effects," including "a boxed warning that highlights the risks of low blood pressure and fainting in patients who drink alcohol while taking the drug, and a requirement that doctors complete a training course before being allowed to prescribe the drug."
The FDA is also requiring Sprout Pharmaceuticals to conduct three clinical trials on the interaction between Addyi and alcohol consumption.
Bloomberg News reports that the FDA also "acknowledged that the drug industry has struggled to come up with treatments for female sexual dysfunction and said it continues to encourage development in that area."


Attorneys, CPAs and enrolled agents can represent any client before the IRS in any situation. However, new rules apply to the rights of non-credentialed tax preparers to represent their clients before the IRS. Non-credentialed preparers without an Annual Filing Season Program – Record of Completion – may only prepare tax returns. The new rules do not allow them to represent clients before the IRS on any returns prepared and filed after December 31, 2015. Annual Filing Season Program participants can represent clients in limited situations. For more, visit IRS.gov and see the Understanding Tax Return Preparer Credentials and Qualifications page.
Ask about Service Fees. Avoid preparers who base fees on a percentage of their client's refund. Also avoid those who boast bigger refunds than their competition. Make sure that your refund goes directly to you – not into your preparer's bank account.
Ask to E-file Your Return. Make sure your preparer offers IRS e-file. Paid preparers who do taxes for more than 10 clients generally must file electronically. The IRS has safely processed more than 1.5 billion e-filed tax returns.
Make Sure the Preparer is Available. You may want to contact your preparer after this year's April 18 due date. Avoid fly-by-night preparers.
Provide Records and Receipts. Good preparers will ask to see your records and receipts. They'll ask questions to figure your total income, tax deductions, credits, etc. Do not use a preparer who will e-file your return using your last pay stub instead of your Form W-2. This is against IRS e-file rules.
Never Sign a Blank Return. Don't use a tax preparer that asks you to sign a blank tax form.
Ensure the Preparer Signs and Includes Their PTIN. All paid tax preparers must have a Preparer Tax Identification Number, or PTIN. By law, paid preparers must sign returns and include their PTIN. Be sure you get a copy of your return.
Report Abusive Tax Preparers to the IRS. Most tax return preparers are honest and provide great service to their clients; however, some preparers are dishonest. Report abusive tax preparers and suspected tax fraud to the IRS. Use Form 14157, Complaint: Tax Return Preparer. If you suspect a return preparer filed or changed the return without your consent, you should also file Form 14157-A, Return Preparer Fraud or Misconduct Affidavit. You can get these forms on IRS.gov at any time.

The original SBIC logo depicted a renaissance in inorganic chemistry, through its impact on modern biology, as illustrated by the Italian renaissance painting The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli. Venus, representing the life force, is depicted as rising from the sea, the origin of life to which the inorganic elements were essential. The Botticelli Venus was adopted as the SBIC logo after it first appeared on the cover of R.J.P. (Bob) William's landmark textbook "The Natural Selection of the Chemical Elements".
In 2019 Mary O'Reilly from O'Reilly Science Art was commissioned to design a more contemporary logo around the Society's motto "Bringing Inorganic Chemistry to Life", while retaining the spirit of the Botticelli logo, which emphasised the importance of synergism between science and art that sustains creativity and enriches civilization. The new logo is an homage to the original SBIC logo. The Venus life force is now replaced by a tree that has its roots extending into the periodic table, reaching all of the elements. To represent the broad scientific interests of our members, it features images representing a metalloprotein, photosynthesis and metals in biology with the tree roots also depicting a dendritic cell.

LAUSD Suspensions Down, But They Might Not Tell The Whole Story
Some Los Angeles schools owe their dip in official suspension rates to "off-the-books" suspensions, say advocates.

While Los Angeles public schools have dramatically cut their suspension rates, some youth advocates warn that the seeming improvements don't tell the whole story.
The Los Angeles Times' Teresa Watanabe reports on allegations of principals turning to off-the-books suspensions to continue punishing students while still reporting dips in suspensions:
The principal at Manchester Elementary in South Los Angeles was removed earlier this year following allegations that he sent at least 20 students home while directing staff not to mark them absent or suspended, according to two knowledgeable sources who asked for anonymity to avoid retaliation. A district official confirmed Gregory Hooker's removal "pending the outcome of an investigation" but declined to provide further details.
A confidential report by two community organizations in 2012 found that some principals were using "work-arounds" to district mandates to reduce suspensions. Maisie Chin, executive director of CADRE, a South Los Angeles nonprofit that has long worked on the discipline issue, declined to release the report but said it showed that some students were being sent home, sometimes with no given reason, depriving them of the due process rights in the formal suspension process.
Los Angeles schools have faced pressure to cut their suspension rates as the school-to-prison pipeline has become a national conversation. But this kind of cut is probably not what Secretary of Education Arne Duncan had in mind when he decried the overuse of suspensions in the nation's schools. Read the rest at the Los Angeles Times.

Juicy Details Begin to Leak for the Next Hyundai Genesis
Hyundai Tucson Sales Reach One Million
Hyundai Gives a Peek at the New Elantra N Line
Hyundai Prophecy Confirmed for Production
(Credit: © Hyundai)
Hyundai HND-9 Concept (Credit: © Hyundai)
Even though it's not due for several more years, some juicy details are already leaking for the next generation of the Hyundai Genesis Coupe. The new car will be released in 2016 or later and the leaked details were spilled to Go Auto, an Australian automotive news source. For those who aren't aware, the coupe version of the Genesis isn't a buttoned-up luxury vehicle like its sedan sibling, but instead is a raucous performance vehicle that goes up against the likes of the Ford Mustang and Infiniti G37.
Given the car's sporty nature, fans should be happy to know that there is a strong possibility the next generation will be powered by a V8 engine that should supply loads of horsepower and torque. This news comes after Hyundai ended the turbo 2.0-liter four cylinder engine for the Genesis Coupe. Adding a V8 engine will bring the coupe more in line with the sedan.
According to the inside source, the similarities between the two- and four-door versions of the Genesis will increase. Hopefully this doesn't mean the car will become soft, and the leak states that such a fate isn't likely. In fact, the South Korean automaker is looking to position the model so it starts competing with the likes of the Mercedes E-Class Coupe and BMW 6 Series.
While it's possible that the V8 engine for the Genesis will be at least somewhat tweaked once the new generation of the coupe rolls around, currently it puts out 420 horsepower. Putting that under the hood of the coupe would be an exciting move that could really help boost the Hyundai brand in many people's eyes.

Q: Work with the simple-prefs module and export the values to a script stored in the data folder I'm currently trying to add some preferences to a Firefox add-on. To do so, I'm playing with the new "simple-prefs" module. (Simple-Prefs on the Mozilla Blog)
The documentation is not very detailed and I face some problems understanding how I can retrieve the value attached to an option and export it to a JS script present in my data folder.
Let's say that I have only one optional setting in my addon, a boolean one, then my packages.json will look like this:
{
  "name": "test",
  ...
  "preferences": [{
    "type": "bool",
    "name": "option1",
    "value": true,
    "title": "Desc Option 1"
  }]
}

Here is my main.js file [UPDATED]:
var pageMod = require("page-mod");
const data = require("self").data;
const prefSet = require("simple-prefs");  //Simple-prefs module

var option1 = prefSet.prefs.option1;     //get the value for option1

function onPrefChange(prefName) {        //Listen for changes

   var prefName = prefSet.prefs[prefName];
                      }

prefSet.on("option1", onPrefChange);

exports.main = function() {
  pageMod.PageMod({
    include: ["https://mail.google.com/*","http://mail.google.com/*"],
    contentScriptWhen: 'ready',
    contentScriptFile: [data.url("jquery.js"),data.url("script.js")],
    onAttach: function(worker)
        {
      worker.postMessage( option1 );
        }
    });
}

How can I retrieve the value attached to "option1" and export it in order to call it in my "script.js" file?

A: As usually, content scripts don't have access to the API - they can only receive messages from your extension's scripts. Here you would do:
pageMod.PageMod({
  include: ["https://mail.google.com/*","http://mail.google.com/*"],
  contentScriptWhen: 'ready',
  contentScriptFile: [data.url("jquery.js"),data.url("script.js")],
  onAttach: function(worker)
  {
    worker.postMessage(backtop);
  }
});

And in the content script you would have the following code:
self.on("message", function(data)
{
  alert("Received option value: " + data);
});

This message arrives asynchronously meaning that your content script won't know the option value initially - but that's how content scripts work.

They are all 270º but better than a keyboard or a joystick/game pad.
I dont know what to say . Those pedals from link 2# hahahahah when braking step on to a nail 1 and when you want to accelerate step on nail 2 .
So, #2 uses foil in the gear lever and pedals. Is this so aliens can't read their thoughts?
I think it is to prevent aliens detecting which gear they're on and if they're braking or not. Wait? ¤%&§! There's still the red braking lights at the back of the car. It's a conspiracy!

About the IR Magazine awards
The IR Magazine Awards – Europe 2019 took place in London on June 20 to once again honor excellence in the investor relations profession. The prestigious ceremony, now in its 29th year, hosted the best of the IR community from across Europe – and what a fantastic evening we had! Congratulations to the 2019 winners!
Since the event first launched in 1990, tens of thousands of analysts and investors have voted in the surveys behind the awards. The result: vital benchmarking information on which companies do the best IR. Over the last two decades the awards program has expanded to recognize more aspects of an IRO's role as we add new categories to the list.
By popular demand, we once again presented two types of award categories – researched and nominated – both celebrating the success of those individuals and companies that are leading the way in IR across Europe.
For our awards-by-research categories, companies do not submit nominations. Instead, hundreds of analysts and investors cast their votes and give their opinions on which companies provide the best IR service. For our awards-by-nomination categories, companies have the opportunity to nominate themselves or other publicly listed companies, free of charge, for aspects of IR that complement our awards by research. To be the first to know about the 2020 nomination process register your interest here.
Awards by Research
We are pleased to announce the winners of this year's awards!
View the entire list of winners and nominees here.
Our awards-by-research nominees are determined by the input of hundreds of analysts and portfolio managers, who give their opinions on which companies provide them with the best IR service in Europe.

The first thing to explain is that our awards by research are different from most others and from our awards by nomination: for our awards by research, companies do not submit nominations. The winners are identified by in-depth research and any publicly traded company is eligible to be considered. This survey is the only one of its kind to go directly to the investment community, via a combination of an electronic survey and one-to-one telephone interviews, canvassing the opinions of the people who matter to you most.
The research survey for the 2019 awards is now closed and we are no longer able to invite your buy and sell-side analysts and portfolio managers to take part in the survey. If you would like to send us the list ahead of next year, please send an Excel file with their names, firm, their direct telephone number and their email address to [email protected].
November – December: Online survey
IR Magazine has been building investment community databases over the past 20 years. As part of the updating process, listed companies are contacted every year for details of the professionals who currently cover their stock. A preliminary electronic survey of buy-side and sell-side analysts and portfolio managers is then conducted.
December – February: Telephone survey
The responses from the electronic survey then go to Mary Maude Research for initial analysis. The research firm determines what will constitute a representative sample, weighted for Europe's industry sectors and geographical regions. It then conducts in-depth interviews with 500 portfolio managers and analysts across Europe. As the research progresses, the sample is adjusted to ensure appropriate weightings are maintained.
March – April: Results analysis & short lists
Once the survey stage of the research is completed, the final analysis is undertaken. The companies with the highest scores make the short lists for the awards categories, and the points are further analyzed to identify the best exponents of IR by sector and by country.
The independence of our research is crucial to the integrity of the whole awards program, so IR Magazine sees the results only once the research is complete. This ensures a transparent, independent set of results that IROs can trust as a valuable benchmarking tool.
IR Magazine receives the results in March and contacts the short-listed companies to give them the good news. The short list is then published to the entire IR community the month before the event.
June: Winners announced
This year's winners will be announced live on stage at a black-tie awards ceremony in London on June 20, attended by the leading lights of European investor relations.
July: Report published
After the event the Investor Perception Study – Europe 2019 report will be made available to professional subscribers to IR Magazine. This report will profile the top ranked companies and reveal information on how they conduct their IR activities and why investors voted for them.
For further information on this year's investor survey, please contact Janet Dignan at +44 20 8004 6322.

We are no longer accepting entries for this year's awards-by-nomination categories. Please note that categories are subject to change based on the final nomination results announced in 2019. We will inform short listed companies and individuals by the end of April. Good luck!
The awards by nomination differ from our traditional awards by research, as individuals and companies are given the opportunity to submit written entries, free of charge, to be put forward to a panel of expert judges made up of investment professionals and IR Magazine editorial members.
The judging process is made up of two simple phases:
Phase 1: Judges are sent all submissions for review. They are asked to score the entries for each category based on the criteria. The judges scores will then be collated and averaged, which will form the initial short lists.
Phase 2: For the second phase, judges come together to discuss, with renewed scrutiny, those entries that have made it through to the shortlist. This final stage will determine the winners and runners up, where applicable, in each category.
The judges scores will not be shared with nominees, however, comments may be published in articles or reports after the event. The judges are not required to make comments against every submission.

DIRF - Danish Investor Relations Society
About DIRF
The Danish Investor Relations Society (DIRF) was established by investor relations officers, financial and communications executives in a few Danish companies in 1988. The objective was and still is to promote communication between listed companies and their investors thereby increasing investor interest in Danish shares and company bonds.
DIRF represents some 270 members from approximately 100 companies. Members are primarily listed companies, and the member base represents about 95 per cent of the Danish market cap. However, also not-listed companies, organisations, service providers and consultants working with financial communications are represented, cf. DIRF members list.
DIRF activities
The DIRF network seeks to meet its objectives by arranging members' meetings and conferences dealing with current IR-topics, sessions with academics researching in IR-related areas, trends and new ways of performing the IR-profession, new media developments, new evaluation methods, and once a year the Copenhagen Stock Exchange hosts a network meeting etc. Members' meetings normally take place 5-6 times a year.

The National Autistic Society is the UK's leading charity for autistic people and their families. Our goal is to transform lives, change attitudes and create a society that works for autistic people.
Autism is a lifelong disability which affects how people communicate and interact with the world. There are approximately 700,000 autistic people in the UK, as well as three million family members and carers of autistic people. As a spectrum condition, autistic people have their own strengths and varying and complex needs, from 24-hour care to simply needing clearer communication and a little longer to do things at work and school.
Since 1962, autistic people have turned to us at key moments or challenging times in their lives, be it getting a diagnosis, going to school or finding employment. We change attitudes by improving public understanding of autism and the difficulties many autistic people face. We also work closely with businesses, local authorities and government to help them provide more autism-friendly spaces, deliver better services and improve laws.
With your generous support we are able to continue our life-changing work to create a society that works for autistic people. Thank you.

When I first started decorating cakes, I was hesitant to level my cakes properly because I was so bummed about how much cake would be wasted. I used to let my husband and friends eat the scraps, but sometimes no one was around to snack.
Then I discovered cake truffles! Now I keep all my cake scraps in the freezer so that when the time comes to make truffles, I have a great variety of cake to use!
If you don't just have cake lying around your house, you can still make these easily! I'll show you how!
You'll need cake. Like I said, I have a lot of cake in my freezer... if you don't bake a million cakes a week like I do, you can just bake one cake. Specifically for this. You can bake any flavor of cake! A box mix cake will work fine!
You'll also need frosting, about two table spoons. I use home made buttercream, but you can use canned. Vanilla, chocolate or cream cheese frosting seem to work best.
A package of candy melt. (Almond bark, chocolate coating etc) This stuff works best because it isn't as hard to temper as chocolate and once set doesn't melt like crazy just because you barely touched it.
You'll also want a large mixing bowl for the cake, a smaller microwave safe bowl to melt the chocolate in, a fork, a spoon and some candy and or sprinkles to top your truffles. Nuts work as well!
Wax paper and a couple of cookie sheets are nice to have as well.
Alright, so whether you have cake already or made a cake, just go ahead and dump it in the large mixing bowl. If you made a cake, please, let it cool. For at least an hour.
Mash it up and add two table spoons of frosting. Start mixing! It might not seem like a lot of frosting, but trust me, you don't want too much. If you get the cake too soggy, you're truffles won't be very good. After mixing with the spoon for a while, you'll want to switch to your hands. (Which, I hope, you will wash first!!) Mash it all together and test the consistency. After a while, it will become moist, but not sticky and will hold it's shape.
Once you've got it to that consistency, start rolling it into balls. I like to line my cookie sheets with wax paper and line the cake balls on them. I'd say ping pong or golf ball size is a good size to aim for.
Now stash them in the fridge if you can make room. Chilling them will help the chocolate set better when we coat them!
Start by cutting your chocolate into smaller pieces if you have a big hunk. Then pile it into a microwave safe bowl and melt it in 30 second bursts, stirring in between.
First, dip the bottom of the cake ball into the chocolate. Then place it on the fork. Hold it over the bowl and use the spoon to pour chocolate over the ball. This is MUCH easier then trying to dip the balls and will give you a wonderful, smooth texture. Sort of shake the fork back and forth, letting the excess chocolate drip between the tines of the fork.
When you've got it covered and most of the excess has dripped back into the bowl, transfer the truffle to the wax paper. This takes some trial and error to get down, but I've found using a frosting spatula or a butter knife to push it off the fork works best.
Place candy or sprinkles on the truffle as soon as you get it down on the wax paper. That stuff sets quickly.
You might need to clean the fork off every few truffles in order to let the excess drip through.
You're going to have a lot of chocolate around the bottom of these things... go ahead and sort of trim it off with a knife and then check the bottoms of your truffles. The key to keeping them fresh is making sure they're totally sealed in chocolate. You'll probably find that most of your truffles have a bit of cake showing on the bottom. Go ahead and just barely dip the bottoms of the truffles on more time and place them on a fresh piece of wax paper. They shouldn't need trimmed again because you're just dipping them enough to fill the holes in the bottom.
Candy melt/almond bark type chocolate should totally set up on it's own without being put in the fridge.
Once they set up, I like to transfer them individually into mini cupcake liners and then put them in a box in the fridge. They are EXCELLENT when cold. So tasty.
I've keep a stash of these in the fridge for a couple of weeks and they kept just fine and tasted great still. Don't ask me how they lasted that long. I think it was because I literally made like 60 of them or something lol.
These things are so freaking good. Your friends and family are going to be begging you to make more, so get used to making them! Thankfully, practice makes perfect and every batch will be better than the last!
There's just something about that crunchy chocolate shell and that moist, rich cake center... you can't get enough!
Let me know if anything is unclear! I'm working on turning tutorials from my blog into instructables and it seems sometimes details get lost along the way!
thank you so much, i had these at a baby shower and fell in love with them, want desperately to know how to make them, so will definitely be making them.
These look Awesome! I was looking for a recipe like this to make and send in a package for my sister for her birthday, since I can't really send her a birthday cake. Unfortunately, I didn't check instructables and ended up making her some cake-y cookies instead. Next time, though, I will try these!
By the way, I couldn't help but notice the violin and awesome pink ukulele hanging in the background--the two instruments I play! Awesome!
This has quickly become a favorite amongst my friends and family!! Super easy and quite impressive. I've made a batch four times in the past two weeks!
I've been given a set of these as a gift from someone who makes these for Easter and called them Cake Eggs. Now that I can make them myself I won't need to wait on her to give them out.
I bet this would work for cake that is just about to go stale to moisten it up a bit and make it last just a bit longer.
Yes that would work, I'm sure! I'm thinking I should try this with like pumpkin bread too, that could be heavenly.
and you could use cream cheese frosting... ^_^ Oh man that'd be good.
CAKE BALLS!!!!!! i looove these!! If you use red velvet cake, they taste absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for this recipe!
What does your apron say?
The apron was a gift from a co-worker and says "Will cook for shoes... Lots and lots of shoes." it's pretty hilarious.
Also- I'm on a diet too!! Can you believe I only ate one of these when I made them???
I don't think I could keep up with an actual "diet" like weight watchers. I've been using myfitnesspal on my phone. It gave my a calorie goal and I record all my exercise and food. I also switched to all organic fruit/veggies and drink only 100% juice. We also switched to all organic/free range meat and only eat 4-6oz at a time. Red meat only once a week. Basically we're trying to follow the pyramid. Lol. We do 30-60 minutes of light cardio a day, I've lost ten lbs in 5 weeks. My husband has lost 40lbs in 6 weeks! I'm trying to lose 20-30 and he's trying to lose 100-125 or so. We're feeling pretty good about it!
I made my own organic peanut butter cups the other day that are only about 25 calories!
I'm not actually following a diet right now but I plan on eating what I want but track calories using the ww point system. Sparkpeople is good because you can use any other diet/eating plan with it, but it has lots of tools for you to use.
Hah, yes, my husband and I... I'm actually pushing 30, thank you! Haha!
Last summer I rode my bicycle 1,000 miles and I maintained the exact same weight through out summer/fall... but I would come home every day and just eat like total crap. I practically lived on KFC and mountain dew. So this year, as soon as this darn Ohio weather breaks, I'll be out on my bike in full force and eating right... I could waste away to nothing hahaha. I'm only 5 feet tall, so according to weight standards I'm like 60lbs overweight, which I think is total crap, but I'd love to lose 30 in the end of all this. My husband was at 350lbs and we were just like holy crap we're fat American slobs!!! lol. We decided we had to turn our health around.
Myfitnesspal has been invaluable to me. When I got my iphone and downloaded the app it was like flipping a switch in my brain. Seeing everything I eat and all the nutrition facts and being able to record my exercise etc... it's awesome.
I am allowed 1,200 calories a day, but if I work off calories those go back on my net for the day and I could eat that amount of calories again.
It's so easy to eat badly because it's so cheap and so fast, but the big picture cost to me is way more expensive. At 27, I shouldn't have high blood pressure and a laundry list of nutrient deficiencies like this!
What is the recipe for the buttercream you used?
I usually stick with the standard Wilton buttercream recipe on the Wilton website. Except I add a teaspoon of lemon juice. It tones it down a tiny bit.
try throwing in some crushed candy cane at christmas for peppermint flavor, and then sprinkle some crushed candy cane pieces on top.. the moisture from the frosting melts the candy cane and it's gooey and wonderful..
try throwing in some heath bar pieces as well - also really good!
I did candy cane truffles for christmas! So good!
Yummy!!! I've been saving my cake scraps to make cake balls but haven't had the time to. I need to make time! And it would also make room in the freezer!

Following the dismissal of an extradition appeal or upon the client deciding to withdraw their appeal by consent there follows a 14 day period in which an application to certify a point of law of general public importance can be made to the High Court. If no such application is made, or it is refused, extradition to a Part 1 country must take place within the 10 days that follow the end of the 14 day period or upon refusal of the High Court to certify a point of law. That much is clear from section 36 Extradition Act 2003 which states at subsections 2 and 3:
(2) The person must be extradited to the category 1 territory before the end of the required period.
(3) The required period is—
(a)10 days starting with the day on which the decision of the relevant court on the appeal becomes final or proceedings on the appeal are discontinued, or
(b)if the relevant court and the authority which issued the Part 1 warrant agree a later date, 10 days starting with the later date.
But what happens if the person is not extradited within the required 10 days?
If the defence are live to the issue then they can make an application to the appropriate judge (sitting at Westminster Magistrates' Court) for discharge pursuant to section 36(8) of the Act. This application must be made on notice and discharge must be ordered unless reasonable cause can be shown for the delay in extradition taking place.
Regardless of whether such an application is made or not, the CPS (acting on behalf of the judicial authority) can make an application to the relevant court for a later date for extradition to take place (s36(3)(b)). They can make this application even when an application for discharge has been made to the appropriate judge and has been heard (but not determined). The application is not made to the appropriate judge who may be scheduled to hear a defence application to discharge, rather It is made to a High Court Master and is made ex parte.
So although section 36(8) was inserted into the legislation to offer protection to the requested person, in reality it makes no difference because the judicial authority can simply make their ex parte application to the High Court and once this has been granted (it almost always is as there are no representations from the defence) it means that the appropriate judge has no power to hear the application to discharge.
Another fallacy of the Extradition Act 2003 that needs amending?
In order to bring some equilibrium the application to extend time for extradition to take place should be made to the same judge that is to hear an application to discharge (if such an application has been made by the defence). The application to extend the time for extradition should also be made on notice so that the defence can have an opportunity to make representations.
Time limits play a big part in the Extradition Act 2003. The CPS found that out to their detriment recently in the case of Domenico Rancadore. Time limits are their to be respected. If a person hasn't been extradited within the relevant period, a defence application for discharge should not – in my opinion – be thwarted by an ex parte application (out of time) for an extension of time without a judge hearing submissions on whether the CPS can show reasonable cause for the delay in extradition being effective.

La Dolce Vita: Off to L.A.!
I hope your week is off to a great start! I am heading to L.A. today for a week filled with photo shoots and meetings for High Gloss Magazine's third issue, which will be out in June. The weather is a little cooler than I had hoped, but it should be pretty pleasant. I'll be honest, it's fun to travel for High Gloss, but I definitely miss my husband and my pup since I have been gone so frequently lately. Do you travel frequently for work? Did it take you a while to adjust to the pace?
Traveling is hard to get used to, but you do get to have some amazing experiences and hopefully sometimes the hubby and pup can come along for some adventures!
My husband travels a lot and is gone months at the time. It's always an adjustment when he comes back.
No travel...yet! Have a great week!
Enjoy LA! I know being away from your husband must be tough, but so worth it for the fabulous magazine!
I have traveled frequently for work and visiting loved ones who are far away without my husband recently, and it is hard but makes coming home that much more special!
If you have time come to the Pasadena Antique Center, a wonderful place where alot of dealers on the westside shop. There is a lot great things out here.
Work related travel comes with stress and excitement. Its not much fun than having a loving hubby and an adorable pup at home though its still much a resource for nice experiences. Take care and greet LA for us.
I love black cabinetry..but love white can cream too. So for the new house...am gointg with a creamy cabinet with antique beams, a huge oversized black center island, french reclaimed antique limestone floors and a black painted butlers pantry...doing a mix to so I am getting to incorporate all that I love. There is no wrong here...as they are all so beautiful and truly timeless in my book!
