Flower centres are not a priority for cake decorators... when they first start palette knife work. They tend to focus on creating petal and leaf shapes that look natural and stay put. But I think they’re the first thing that makes a palette knife cake look amateur or extraordinary. Texture. Cohesion. Realism. All from pushing a little ganache through a tea strainer. Sometimes the smallest detail does the heaviest lifting. 🌸show more

If your palette knife flowers look untidy or childish... you’re just using the wrong tools! Switch flexible palette knives and always collect your ganache or buttercream from a layer of material about 1mm thick.

Q: Are the contractors who did the initial work... with the reflecting pool are they to blame for the current condition? Trump: No, no, we had vandalism, vandals. We have 100, and we have a I think 290, 300 foot slit right through it. Probably a box cutter or a knife of some kind or we had people lifting up the basic. it’s not a lot of damage. We’ll probably have to let the water out and re fix it. They went in there with a knife. I was just told by the people over at parks, they have five people are arrested and five people are under investigation right now. And it’s a sad thing. In addition to that, they you know, we put brand new beautiful grass all around. They put these massive letters on the grass. You probably know about that, right? And they said 86, 47. They probably got that from the dirty cop Comey. You know, he’s a dirty cop, don’t you? Dirty cop. He’s a crooked guy. They destroyed the grass. So, that’s a big thing.show more

Dear Young Bucks, Sometimes a cake is just a... cake. But SOMETIMES when a woman talks about a cake, she's NOT talking about a cake. And if you can catch on that she's not talking about a cake, quickly, things will be much better for you. Truly, The Old Dogsshow more

Hear Stanley Druckenmiller Stan Druckenmiller describe what he would... look for when hiring a money manager. “If I was hiring a money manager, the first thing I would look for is if all I heard was they never made a mistake and they’re telling me about all their wins, that is a big red flag. The great money managers I’ve met they generally don’t tell you about their wins , they tell you about a lot of their losses” “I would definitely look for discipline. The first thing when I look at the records, I would go to the bear market periods and see how they did in those and the quality of the records. But you can learn a ton from the record on how they did in certain years and when you see an outlier, you ask them. There will always be one or two inconsistencies in there”show more

Nick Saban explains the difference between a mistake that... deserves getting chewed out and one that deserves encouragement “I always sort of had a lot of respect for the fact that any player that’s a competitor wants to do well. And I think when you start with that, you have a better perspective because you look at things from their perspective, not your perspective. And I think that’s very helpful.” “Sometimes when guys are not doing intangible things, whether it’s giving effort or focusing or making mental errors or things that they can actually control, that is something that you can’t tolerate. And you really want to maybe sometimes get after a guy a little bit for it.” “But when guys are doing those things and just not having success, I think that’s when you want to pat them on the back and get them to believe in themselves and have an understanding if they continue to do things the right way, they will eventually have success.” “And every player’s different. Sometimes you got guys that are obsessive-compulsive type personalities that are really hard on themselves, and I don’t think you need to get on those guys because they’re already getting on themselves.” “Then you have other guys that may not be self-starters, and you got to push them a little bit more to get them to be what they’re capable of being. I think all those things were factors in how you kind of approach a player and try to get him to be the best he can be.” “I always tried to focus on the individual and not look at it like one size fits all, and try to take the best approach with that particular guy to help him have success.”show more

“The first thing that I always pay attention to... in a player when I go to a practice is when they’re running a sprint, does that kid look at the clock?” Buzz Williams on players who do must enough to surviveshow more

So many leaks and knife fights at the Whitehouse... they will need a mythical Jewish plumber to stop it all. It's not just Trump that has been sabotaged. This has been an attack on the America first movement. I don't think it's going to work out like they think it will. Good luck Long Live the Republicshow more

Elon Musk: It shouldn't be up to a few... media oligarchs to steer the narrative. “The biggest point of manipulation that occurs in the media is not when the media says something that's false or misleading – they do that – but their choice of narrative. What are they going to talk about? By choosing to focus on one thing and not focus on another thing, they're steering what information the public receives. Whereas, I think the right thing is that the narratives that are important should be the narratives that the people as a whole think are important, not what a few media oligarchs think is important. But they sure like controlling information.” Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, October 19, 2024show more

Here is a wedding cake decorator giving her story... about a recent wedding that she made a cake for. She brought the cake in as instructed and watched as the groom took his bride’s face and aggressively jammed it right into the cake to the point that the whole top of the cake flew off. The bride was obviously not expecting that, she was very upset, and she wound up going into the bridal root crying.. I’m all for having a good time at a wedding, and I also think that I have a pretty good sense of humor. However, this is not a good look for this husband, and in my humble opinion I think she made a mistake marrying this guy.. all kinds of red flags are going up for me listening to this.show more

I’ve wondered for years if elite shooters like Kevin... Durant even see or notice defenders when they take jump shots or if they only see the basket. I asked KD about that after the game “Sometimes when I lose focus I look at my defender and look for a split second back at the rim and I miss. I try to stay conscious no matter what keep my eye on the rim stay with my fundamentals.”show more
