Delicious!Reviewed on 1/20/2014 Andrea H
First off, J. Noto is in the perfect spot, located on Historic Main St. in St. Charles. Jasper was so professional. When we had our first consultation to taste test he asked us what we would like to drink and he had the table and cake ready for us when we arrived. He offers an... Read More assortment of cake flavors. My husband liked the idea of cupcakes so we decided to go with a small cake consisting of 10", 8", and 6" tiers and the rest of our servings were in cupcakes. We personally preferred the yellow cake over the white (more moist) so we chose that for our small cake. For the cupcakes we chose red velvet with cream cheese filling and buttercream icing, devil's food cake with chocolate Bavarian cream filling with buttercream icing, yellow cake with white chocolate Bavarian cream filling with buttercream icing, and marble cake with raspberry filling with buttercream icing. We received so many compliments on our cake and the cupcakes went over very well. In fact, two of our friends are getting married in 2014 and after tasting our cake, they are going to go with J. Noto for their weddings! Jasper was truly wonderful to work with. His daughter is in charge of the cake decorating. We started with one design and he was up front with us when he realized it wasn't possible to do that design with buttercream, which would mean we would have to go with fondant. We personally don't like fondant so we chose another design. She was able to replicate the exact design we gave her. Needless to say, we were extremely pleased in every category of our experience with J. Noto, and we would highly recommend them for your wedding!
Thank you so much! We value your opinion. Congratulations the the both of you!
Wonderful bakery!Reviewed on 6/26/2014 caylie e
Jasper is so creative! We had a beautiful and delicious wedding cake, as well as a an amazing Jack Daniels Groom's cake! It was an amazing price and amazing quality.
Best Baker!!Reviewed on 10/27/2013 Katie Z
During our cake tasting for our wedding we were blown away when we got to J. Noto. He was so organized, cakes were labeled, offered us water, and was so friendly! He also does not freeze his cakes and stays up late the day before making your wedding cake. It was so delicious,... Read More we still have guests talking about how beautiful our cake was and yummy. Was so fresh and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. Thank you so much, we will definitely go back for some baked goods!
WOW-BEST WEDDING CAKESReviewed on 8/07/2015 Bridget M
So they say how many guests a cake should feed-but maybe you should change that estimate if you get J. Noto's Cakes because MY GUESTS DEVOURED his cakes. Everyone RAVED about them. The most scrumptious flavors and the most beautiful set up. I had my reception at Chandler Hill... Read More and his daughter came to arrange the cakes and she made my cake table look GORGEOUS-better than I could have done and went ABOVE AND BEYOND to cut flowers and hang things on and around my cakes. They are an amazing family and bakery and everyone in St. Charles and St. Louis should patronize their business. Didn't know them before my wedding but now I feel so strongly about their bakery and business. Wow. Can't say enough how glad I am to have chosen them.
Our wedding cake was not only beautiful, it was delicious and extremely affordable! Jasper was so easy to work with and was extremely accommodating and patient with this indecisive, overwhelmed bride! We chose to do a 3 tiered cake with the rest being kitchen cakes of white with... Read More raspberry filling and red velvet; DELICIOUS!! We also requested 2 small figurines of our dogs and J Noto did such a great job of making them look realistic and absolutely adorable; a perfect detail! We taste tested at 2 other bakeries and J Noto's was by far the best experience, the most expertise and the most affordable!
Delicious and Beautiful Wedding Cake!Reviewed on 11/18/2014 Meaghan K
We requested a 3 tier cake and 3 kitchen cakes and it was all so reasonable while being so delicious! It was beautiful and it was delivered in time and arranged perfectly. Our wedding cake was so elegant and the service was spectacular, giving me peace of mind on my wedding day... Read More :)
DeliciousReviewed on 11/09/2014 Amber Z
J Noto was a wonderful bakery to work with - from the initial consultation to delivery. The cake was delicious, with so many options on flavors. The cake design was outstanding - far exceeded my expectations! We also use J Noto to make our wedding favors - little bags with a... Read More variety of Italian cookies. We received so many compliments on the cake and cookies, both their look and taste. Highly recommend this bakery!
Delicious cake!Reviewed on 11/02/2014 Ellen D
I really loved the cake I got from J. Noto! We ordered carrot cake, because that is both of our favorite cake. Jasper, the owner, made it special for us with walnuts and pineapple chunks added, which made it moist and so delicious. We got many compliments on our cake! We also... Read More had some yellow cake kitchen cakes for those who didn't like carrot cake. The cake turned out beautifully and it was exactly what we wanted. It is a really cute bakery too, and I loved that it is a family business. Jasper takes pride in the quality of his work and met with us himself- he also delivers the cakes himself! I would definitely recommend!
ABSOLUTE PERFECTIONReviewed on 10/29/2014 ann j
10-25-14: Absolutely beautiful and exact in every detail that the Bride and Groom requested. Even more importantly the cake tasted AMAZING!!! The dough was moist and the flavors were mouth watering. Sooo many compliments from guests - I was told by the Captain that several... Read More guests asked for seconds!!!! The Italain Cookies were a total hit with the guests also - not much to take home for the brunch on Sunday. If that is not enough the GROOM's cake - A big mouth bass was phenominal. Everyone at the Rehearsal Dinner could not believe it was a cake. It too was delicious Can't thank you enough for making their dreams come true
DeliciousReviewed on 10/21/2014 Annie S
Delicious cake and desserts with a reasonable price point. So much to choose from and a great bakery if you want other options besides cake. Very friendly and helpful staff. I would recommend J Noto to any bride and groom. Also great spot for fresh Italian cookies!!!
Excellent Italian BakeryReviewed on 10/20/2014 Casey D
Wedding cake was absolutely phenomenal and Jasper is such a joy to work with. We have tried the Italian cookies and cannoli's as well and everything is superb. VERY reasonably priced as well compared to some of the other bakeries in the St Louis area.
J. NOTO did an AMAZING JOB on our WEDDING AND GROOM'S CAKE!!!Reviewed on 10/01/2014 Jessica P
BRIDES AND GROOMS, PLEASE LISTEN! J. Noto Bakery by FAR is the BEST VALUE for your WEDDING CAKE! When my husband and I did our cake tasting, Jasper was so kind. He was more like a friend! Before our tasting, my husband said he did not want to commit to anything yet (this was our... Read More first tasting), so he was not planning on signing a contract. After tasking the cake and meeting Jasper, my husband ask Jasper where to sign and gave our deposit right then and there. Boy did we make the best decision! From just giving Jasper a picture via e-mail of a wedding cake and groom's cake, Jasper did an AMAZING job! The wedding cake was BEAUTIFUL and the "Batman" themed groom's cake was a hit! Jasper is very talented and above all, his CAKE TASTED AMAZING!!! Everyone raved about how great it was. Jasper also kept in great communication and after our initial tasting, we did everything via phone and e-mail which was very helpful. J. Noto was great and best of all, THEY were the BEST PRICE in ST. LOUIS! I can not believe they do not charge more for the quality of their work. Truly the best! I hope this review expresses how happy I was with J. Noto Bakery!!!!

We ordered a two layer cake and several different cupcakes with filling. Our cake was perfect! It was exactly how I wanted it. The cupcakes were amazing. Our guests really enjoyed them. The cost was very reasonable as well.
Wonderful Experience from Tasty to WeddingReviewed on 6/22/2014 Megan R
We loved getting to work with J. Noto. Every step was enjoyable and Jasper, (The J in the name) was involved in all parts from tasting through the wedding. Delicious cake and great price for kitchen cakes. Great value for your dollar.

Delicious - and friendly!Reviewed on 1/22/2014 Danielle M
Jasper was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. We set up a cake tasting and told him we were interested in having a dessert buffet along with cake. He sat down with us while we tasted the desserts, and he was such a joy to talk to! the best part - every dessert was... Read More delicious. We are still talking about the macaroons!
Thank you for the wonderful review! Congratulations!
Amazing desserts, great priceReviewed on 10/09/2013 Laura S
J Notos really worked with me to get the dessert buffet that I wanted at our wedding. My mom and I had the best time at the tasting and couldn't make up our minds on what to order. We ended up with an array of mini cupcakes and dessert bites and cookies. They worked with us on... Read More amounts so we had enough for everyone's sweet tooth and hardly any leftovers. I highly recommend J Notos and I'll be back there soon!
Definitely recommend!Reviewed on 8/18/2013 Whitney F
Jasper and his staff were amazing. I had sent him a detailed document of what I wanted our cake and cupcakes to look like. He went through everything with me to make sure he had it right, and our cupcakes and cake turned out EXACTLY how I wanted them to. Everyone at the wedding... Read More kept commenting on the cupcakes that night and saying how great they were. The one that I had was honestly one of the best cupcakes I've ever had. Jasper and his staff were extremely professional, and you won't find a better value for wedding cake/cupcakes anywhere in St. Louis. I will be recommending him to everyone I know!
Great Job!Reviewed on 7/21/2013 Kirstie D
I loved working with J. Noto's bakery for my wedding cake. The owner was so friendly, and so willing to listen to my ideas. He also emailed back and forth quickly, which as a very busy person I really appreciated. I plan to go to J. Noto for any bakery needs in the future. The... Read More cake was delicious!
DeliciousReviewed on 7/07/2013 Marian K
Everything they did was wonderful, from the free tasting to the delicious final product. Everything went smoothly, the cake was beautiful, delivery and set-up was on time, and it was delicious. The price was good too. Depending on the design you choose it can be more... Read More expensive but mine was about $2.50 a serving (the price includes filling I had added to each layer). Set-up and delivery is extra, of course, but worth it to make sure your cake arrives intact and is set up well. I highly recommend them.
friendly and fabulousReviewed on 7/05/2013 Kelly M
This is a small family owned Sicilian bakery where father and daughter work with a passion for making decadent treats. We had a positive experience from our tasting to our wedding day. I just wish we stopped dancing to eat cake on our wedding day!
Yummy cakeReviewed on 6/20/2013 stephanie L
I purchased my wedding cake my Jnoto's and it was delicious. I just got white cake and amaretto cake with butter cream icing. The prices here are very reasonable. There are a lot of different options to choose from. This bakery makes there cakes with 4 (or 5?) layers of cake on... Read More top of each other with icing or filling between each layer...this really makes the cake good quality. The baker, jasper noto, delivered my cake on time and he even decorated the cake for me with my wedding flowers that we purchased for the cake.
Wedding Cake for WeddingReviewed on 6/16/2013 Kelli B
Jasper was fantastic to work with. I gave him a picture of exactly what I wanted the cake to look like and he made it happen. During the tasting you are able to try a variety of different cakes as well as icings. Jasper also shows you didn't styles of cakes from weddings they... Read More have done in the past. This was probably the best cake I have ever eaten. We also decided to do a dessert bar which included his cannolis as well as mini cheesecakes. These were excellent as well. My guests at my wedding devoured the treats and nothing was left over.

[artist id="2408193″]Miley Cyrus[/artist] is not one to keep her private life private. For the most part, this 16-year-old will tell you anything if you ask. But she did admit that when she sat down to write her autobiography, "Miley Cyrus: Miles to Go," it was difficult to relive some of the harder times she faced growing up, which included being bullied in school and breaking up with Nick Jonas, whom she calls "Prince Charming" in the book.
"I would say that it was hard, but it was also the best thing I ever did and the best thing I will ever do because I think it's a good thing that you get, like, a flashback and really remember all those moments," she told MTV News at a Los Angeles book signing. "I think it's important not to grow up so much that you forget about your heart and what's important for your heart."
It may have been hard for Cyrus to write about some of those more painful moments, but she said she did it to help show her fans that even though she's famous and things seem great for her, that wasn't always the case.
"There's a lot about being bullied and a lot about breakups, and that's something that is really hard to write about and stuff that's easy to relate to," she said. "And I wanted my fans to always be able to relate to me, so I think that was really important."
Sure, being bullied and breaking up with a Jonas brother may have been difficult, but there's still one tragedy that is the most painful for Cyrus to talk about. "[Writing about] the loss of my granddad [was hard]," she said. "That was something I hadn't talked about in a long time, and I was really happy. … It was really good to just remember that."
Now that she's released a book, does Cyrus have any plans to put down the pen? The answer is no. "I would love to do another book and hopefully a tour and more songwriting and more CDs, more movies and more TV," she said. "I just want to keep working as long as I can, 'cause it's my dream and I love it."

For the third year in a row, Chase SlateSM with Blueprint® released survey findings on how back-to-school shoppers are managing their spending and borrowing. Shoppers are taking a more financially responsible approach by creating a back-to-school budget and sticking to it, according to research released today by Chase. Thirty-eight percent report that they have a set budget for school-related expenses; in 2011, only 26 percent of people had created a budget for their back-to-school shopping. In addition, many consumers (32 percent) anticipate their spending on back-to-school shopping this year to reflect pre-recession figures.
"Consumers have learned a lot of valuable lessons about mindful spending over the last few years, and shoppers will be keeping those lessons top of mind whether they're buying for school-age kids or stocking up for a semester at college," said Rachana Bhatt, marketing director, Chase Slate.
Back-to-School Spending Trends
When asked what would be their biggest expense this year, clothing and apparel was the top category, selected by 43 percent of back-to-school shoppers. Roughly a quarter each said that either books or technology (such as computers, smartphones, and tablets) would be their biggest expenses (24% vs. 23%, respectively).
That being said, parents are putting their collective foot down this year when it comes to popular gadgets. Half said they will not be purchasing the smartphones or tablets their kids are asking for this season. Twenty-six percent are drawing the line at designer clothes or shoes.
"Back-to-school shopping can be a big expense, especially when kids want the coolest backpack to show off on the bus or the newest smartphone to stay connected at college," says personal finance expert and credit card journalist Erica Sandberg, who partnered with Chase on the survey. "By creating a budget and establishing a plan to pay off these expenses, parents can teach their kids a valuable lesson about money before they even set foot in the classroom."
Smart Approaches to Spending in 2012
Finally, the Chase survey found that shoppers will use a variety of tactics to save money this season:

About the Chase Slate with Blueprint Back to School Survey
The study was conducted on behalf of Chase Card Services via an online omnibus survey by Research Now, an independent research company. Interviews were conducted from June 18-20, 2012 among a nationally representative sample of 1,204 adults age 18 and older. Please note that even though some data is trended that both the survey date and methodology differ from years past. The 2012 survey was conducted online rather than via telephone, which might account for differing trends in data. The 2011 results are from the Chase Back to School Survey conducted by phone with 1,009 adults nationwide from July 13-17, 2011. It was sponsored by Chase Card Services and fielded by SSRS (Social Science Research Solutions).

Maple Syrup Additives
Posted by Reviewer2469206 on Jul 13, 2012
"Butter to line the casks they collect the syrup in" - "Butter and (in some cases) peanut oil can be used to keep maple syrup from frothing up and boiling over" - "Defoamers - Many different products are used to reduce the foaming of the boiling sap during evaporation. Commercially available vegetable fat derivatives, either liquid or powdered, butter, milk, or vegetable oil is often used. Only a small amount is needed to control foaming and using too much will create an off-flavor in the syrup." (http://maple.dnr.cornell.edu/pubs/MapleFlavor&SyrupGrading.pdf)
OK for organic

Good maple syrup but I find it very liquid. Would rather have it a little bit thicker.

I rate wines using the 100-points scale. I have used this point system for close to 25 years. I still believe it is the simplest way to rate a wine, with its origins from grade school in the United States. A wine that I rate 90 points or more is outstanding (A), and worth buying. If I rate a wine 95 points or more (A+), it is a must buy.

Thoughts from @bio2011
Nigel Smith (@Virgillove) here, just back from a great few days at the Bio International Convention(@bio2011) in D.C. A few observations stand out among the chatter being discussed on the show floor:
First, All eyes were on the FDA panel meeting being held a few miles away regarding the cancer fighter Avastin to treat breast cancer. An FDA panel ultimately voted to halt the drug use for breast cancer, stating that studies have failed to demonstrate its effectiveness. Genentech, the developers of the drug, has successfully marketed Avastin for the treatment of colon, lung and brain cancers.
Secondly, I was struck by the unity of international countries and the US demonstrating their smarts, innovation and access to pro-business policies from around the world. It's clear that great work is being born in institutions from around the world where access to shared information and smart ideas is nurtured. Investments are pouring into geographies which may not have been originally top of mind with business development or VC folks. In fact, sounds like we should be keeping an eye on Poland and Brazil as both countries are emerging hotbeds. In a few years we'll all be thinking, of course these locations are important.
All in all, it was a great conference and always a pleasure to connect and network with my biotech colleagues – old and new – from across the globe.

"Anything we can do to accelerate how we diagnose and receive information on incoming patients helps us fight against the damage that lost time can cause in these cases."
"This technology benefits the citizens of our community and will save lives," said Eric Eichhorn, interventional cardiologist and medical director of the Dallas Heart Group at Medical City. "It was the right thing to do for our community and will make a difference in outcomes as patients will be treated 20 to 30 minutes sooner."

MANHATTAN, Kan. – Kansas State women's basketball head coach Deb Patterson announced on Thursday that freshman forward Jackie Stanley has decided to leave the program.
"Jackie and her father set a game-by-game standard for playing time that was not met to their satisfaction, nor would I guarantee to meet in the future," said Patterson about the situation. "Thus, she will pursue an opportunity where her expectation for minutes of playing time per game and her desire to be a starter will be met. I appreciate the contributions Jackie made to our program during the first semester and wish her the very best in the future."
Stanley, a native of Wylie, Texas, averaged 7.2 points and 3.1 rebounds in 13 games played in 15.8 minutes of action in her debut campaign with the Wildcats. Stanley registered a career-high of 21 points on 9-of-11 shooting against Southern Utah, her second game in K-State uniform.
Kansas State will open Big 12 action on Wednesday, January 9 at No. 12/13 Texas A&M. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m.

Details regarding the QuickQuid clone firm
We are aware that certain individuals are fraudulently using QuickQuid details to reach out to consumers.
Please note that these individuals do not represent QuickQuid in any way.
Registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), QuickQuid wants to reassure all consumers and reiterate that we do not ask for, or charge, any upfront fees or payments. In addition, any outreach from a lender without your having recently completed a loan application should be viewed with suspicion.
If you are contacted by this clone firm (telephone number 0151 324 9990) or any other unauthorised firm, please do not provide any personal or financial details and contact the FCA Consumer Helpline on 0800 111 6768 immediately.
QuickQuid encourages all consumers with questions to contact us directly 24/7 via phone on 0808 234 4558, live chat or email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
What happens if I can't make a payment on a payment date?
At QuickQuid, we understand that your financial circumstances can change in an instant. If you know that you won't be able to repay your loan amount on your payment date, you should contact us immediately so that we can do your best to help set up payment arrangements that work for you.
If your loan payment is dishonoured, returned, unpaid or otherwise missed, you may be charged a late fee of up to £15.00. We may also charge you default interest on any outstanding principal, at the same daily interest rate as your contracted interest rate, beginning on the first calendar day after the repayment date. Missing payments can make it more difficult and/or expensive for you to obtain credit reference agencies, and such missed payment may adversely affect your credit report. In addition, if you default under a loan agreement, we may commence legal proceedings and you may be required to pay us the reasonable expenses and costs we incur in those legal proceedings or in attempting to enforce our rights against you under the loan agreement.
When will I receive my loan? How can I check my loan status?
In most cases, your application will be processed within 30 minutes from the time it has been received. Loan approval will depend on satisfactory completion of identity, credit and affordability checks. If approved, funds will be sent to your bank account within 10 minutes or less after approval. This is dependent on your bank supporting Faster Payments. If your bank does not support Faster Payments, funds will be deposited the same day if your loan is approved by 14:30.
Once you have completed a loan application, QuickQuid will send you updates via email. You may also check your loan status online:
1. Log into your account using the 'Log In' at the top of the screen.
2. You will be directed to your Account Home page.
3. The top of this page will contain information on your current loan, including current loan status.

What is CPA and how does it work?
Continuous Payment Authority (CPA) is a type of automatic payment that authorises a lender to withdraw sums from a borrower's nominated bank account, using debit card details, subject to specifically agreed terms which are fully disclosed and agreed through the loan application process. Once agreed by a customer, a CPA allows a business to take a series of agreed payments using a customer's debit card details without having to seek express authorisation for every payment. CPAs can provide an efficient and convenient payment method for customers. It is important, however, that you are fully aware of the commitment you are entering into when applying for and accepting the offer of a personal loan from QuickQuid. On your repayment date QuickQuid will debit your account for the amount due. If the debit fails, QuickQuid may attempt to debit a second time on the same day or the following business day.
How can CPA be cancelled?
Customers can cancel their CPA with the bank or card provider or the company taking the payment. Customers advising the bank or card issuer that they have stopped permission for the payments should also notify us.
Customers may also cancel their CPA by contacting us directly. Payments taken prior to cancellation being received will only be considered for full, or part, refund at the discretion of QuickQuid. Please call us on 0800 016 3114 (Call free from landlines. Mobile phone companies may charge up to 40p per minute.). If you cancel your authority for the repayment of your loan with us, you will still be responsible for paying any money that you owe, including any charges which may accrue. An alternative means of repayment should be agreed.
How does a Direct Debit Authorisation payment work?
The Direct Debit Authorisation behaves the same as a cheque. QuickQuid presents the Authorisation to your bank. Your bank will then send the specified payment amount to QuickQuid to satisfy the loan agreement.
What is an APR? What does it mean for me as a customer?
APR stands for Annual Percentage Rate and represents the cost of a loan displayed over an entire year. An APR can be helpful in comparing two similar loans from separate lenders because it will allow you to determine which loan is better for you. While the APR may be a helpful tool for comparing loans, the total cost of credit is also a valuable tool as it will tell you exactly how much the loan will cost. See our Rates & Terms page for more information on the APR and total cost for our loan products.
Does QuickQuid run credit checks during the loan approval process?
Yes. We run credit-application checks with credit reference agencies to verify your application information and to help us determine whether your application will be approved or denied, as well as to help us determine the amount of your loan, if approved. Please note, when lenders run a credit-application check, it will leave a footprint on your credit report. Footprints themselves are not negative, but if a credit report shows that many searches have been done in a short period of time, it could be a sign of identification fraud or great financial need.
How do I report a complaint?
You may report complaints in reference to QuickQuid loan products, policies or services via email at email@example.com or via phone at 0800 210 0994. Call free from landlines. Mobile phone companies may charge up to 40p per minute.
Upon receipt of your complaint, QuickQuid will assign an issue number, review the report, and do our best to resolve the problem via email response by the end of the next business day. If we can't do this, we will send you a prompt written or electronic acknowledgement of your complaint with information on who is dealing with it. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may appeal the decision via email at firstname.lastname@example.com. We ask you to please state your objections to the previous decision and include any new evidence to be considered.
We will negotiate with you and send you our full response within eight weeks of receiving your complaint. Our letter will explain that you will have ultimate recourse to the Financial Ombudsman Service if you remain dissatisfied. If you are dissatisfied with our final response, you can ask the Financial Ombudsman Service for an independent review. We will enclose a leaflet (or provide you with a link to the leaflet) from the Financial Ombudsman Service in our final response letter to assist you if you decide to pursue this further course of action.
You should contact the Financial Ombudsman Service within six months of receiving our final response.

Please note, short-term loans should be used for short-term financial needs only, and not as a long-term financial solution. As a responsible lender we don't encourage you to use this service frequently and each loan application is subject to affordability and credit checks in accordance with our responsible lending policy.
What are my repayment options?
You can repay the loan all at once, add additional payments or just make minimum monthly payments on your scheduled due date. Your Minimum Monthly Repayment is the sum of:
If you would like to make additional payments - simply login to your account. There is no need to wait for your due date to make a payment. While the Minimum Monthly Repayment is the least amount you may pay back each month, you should try to pay off more than the Minimum Monthly Repayment in order to pay off your debt more quickly and reduce the interest payable.
What are short-term loans and who should use them?
Short-term loans are designed to help you bridge the gap between paydays so you can cover any unexpected expenses or temporary cash flow problems. Short-term loans are not appropriate for long-term borrowing or if you are in financial difficulty. If you need a quick cash advance to cover unexpected expenses, then a QuickQuid short-term loan could be for you. However, you should not take out a short-term loan if you don't think you can pay it back on time or if you are in need of longer term borrowing.
What is the loan interest rate?
Interest will accrue on your unpaid principal at a daily rate of 0.80%.
See Rates & Terms for a detailed explanation of interest rates and repayment amounts.
When will my loan be due?
You can repay a QuickQuid payday loan over the course of 1, 2 or 3 repayment dates. Your repayment dates will always be set to your pay dates. You may not be eligible to apply for each period option given your pay date frequency and our minimum 27 day loan term requirement. You will have a chance to review all repayment dates before signing your loan contract.
What are my repayment options?
When you first apply for a loan, you have three repayment options for which you may be eligible. Below are those options:
1-Period Loan: Your loan amount and accrued interest will be due on your 1st repayment date
2-Period Loan: This option allows you to repay your loan over 2 periods. On your 1st repayment date you will pay the interest that has accrued. On your 2nd repayment date you will repay the loan amount and the interest that has accrued between your 1st and 2nd repayment dates.
3-Period Loan: This option allows you to repay your loan over 3 pay periods. On your 1st repayment date you will pay the interest that has accrued. On your 2nd repayment date you will pay the interest that accrued between your 1st and 2nd repayment dates. On your 3rd repayment date you will repay the loan amount and the interest that has accrued between your 2nd and 3rd repayment dates.
Your repayment dates will always be set to your pay dates. You may not be eligible to apply for each period option given your pay date frequency and our minimum 27 day loan term restriction.
We will always send a reminder email at least 3 days prior to your due date. Contact our Customer Service Team to discuss your repayment options further.
Please remember, you should be able to make your repayments out of your normal disposable income. If you are approved for a multi-period loan your final repayment will be larger than your previous repayment(s). Therefore, you may need to save disposable income from a prior month in order to make the final repayment out of your disposable income.
What if I need additional time to make my payment?
You should only take out a loan if you can afford to repay the loan pursuant to the terms of your agreement and do so in a sustainable manner. If your financial situation changes such that you believe you will not be able to repay the amount due on your repayment date, then you should contact us so that we can discuss the options available to you. Depending on your situation, we may be able to offer you a Due Date Adjustment, Extension or a Fixed Repayment Plan.
Due Date Adjustment: If you are in need of a few additional days to repay your loan, then we may be able to postpone your repayment date by up to 3 calendar days. We will only be able to provide you one Due Date Adjustment per loan and only if we believe you are going to be able to repay the amount due by the adjusted repayment date.
Extension: If you require more than a few days to repay your loan, you may apply for an extension. If your application is approved, the interest you accrued on the original loan must be paid on the original repayment date. Repayment of your loan principal will then be deferred until a later repayment date, at which point you will repay the loan principal along with the additional accrued interest. Extending your loan means you pay additional interest on your outstanding principal so extensions are granted solely at our discretion where we believe you will be able to repay the extension without undue difficulty. The maximum number of extensions that you may apply for is two. To see if you are eligible to apply for an extension, please log in to your account.
Fixed Repayment Plan: If you are in severe financial hardship, you should contact us immediately as we may be able to provide you a Fixed Repayment Plan.
Important Notice: We are unable to offer you any of the above options unless you contact us in a timely matter. If your payment method is Debit Card, then you must contact us at least one business day before your repayment date. If your payment method is Direct Debit, then you must contact us at least three business days before your repayment date in order for us to help you.
How much money can I receive if approved?
New customers may qualify for a loan amount up to £1000.† After successful repayment of your first loan, existing customers may qualify for a loan amount up to £1500.†
How many loans can I borrow at one time?
QuickQuid has a policy of one loan per customer.
Once I pay off a loan, how soon can I receive another one?
Short-term loans should be used for short-term financial needs only, as not as long-term financial solution. As a responsible lender we don't encourage you to use this service frequently and each loan application is subject to affordability and credit checks in accordance with our responsible lending policy. ®
Your loan's repayment method determines how soon you can receive another loan.
DEBIT CARD REPAYMENT: If you pay by debit card, your payment will clear the bank in seconds and you may be able to apply for a new loan immediately.
DIRECT DEBIT REPAYMENT: If you pay by Direct Debit, it will normally take two working days for your payment to clear the bank. Once the payment clears, you may be able to apply for a new loan.
Example: Your repayment date is Friday. Your full payment comes out on that date.
· If the loan was repaid via debit card, you may be able to apply for another loan on Friday
· If the loan was repaid via Direct Debit, you must wait until Wednesday before you are able to apply for another loan.

Of course, pinhole photography images are always going to be softer than refractive lens images, and while "embrace the softness" might therefore be a good working philosophy there's nothing wrong with attempting to eek out as much resolution as possible from your pinhole system.
Pinhole size and quality is only one factor affecting overall resolution, another major factor being format size. For equal angles of view, a larger film format will require a longer focal length and thus (by Rayleigh's formula) a commensurately larger focal ratio, which will produce images less affected by diffraction. There is also the advantage afforded by larger film formats of needing less enlargement, further reducing image degradation.
But if you're going to find the optimal pinhole, and don't want to purchase commercial electron microscope apertures (which are the best one can find) then do yourself a favor and choose a material a bit better suited than soda can metal. You want to make your pinhole as close as possible to a two-dimensional hole, not a three-dimensional tunnel. The more tunnel-like your pinhole, the more off-axis vignetting and loss of resolution, especially if you are after wider angles of view.
I might also mention that a sturdy tripod is also very important to sharp images, more so than with glass-lensed LF cameras, since your typical pinhole exposure time will be much longer. Another important thing with these long tripod-mounted exposures is not moving your feet anywhere near the tripod during the exposure, especially on soft ground where such movement can slowly but perceptibly move the camera.
Wind-induced camera movement is also an important image degradation factor, a good reason to have both a heavy tripod and heavy (like plywood) camera that can't easily shake in the wind. In this regard, adapting a bellows fitted LF camera for pinhole is probably the worst idea as far as image sharpness in real-world wind conditions. Making a solidly overbuilt MDF or plywood box camera is better, plus you will come to learn to appreciate the camera as a hand-built crafted thing.
Another equally important factor is the shape and roundness of the hole. Uniformity and smoothness can only come through lots of practice making pinholes, which you should do before settling on a final version.
Of course, they all will form an image, it's really a matter of how good of an image will you achieve.
I therefore recommend thin brass sheet metal, no thicker than 2 mil, and use the dimple-and-sand method, using fine emory or a wet stone to sand the tip of the dimple down to ultra-thinness, then barely pierce with the tip of a needle, then continue to sand and ream out the hole until you have the correct diameter and a smooth, clean aperture. With this method I inspect periodically using a loupe, and measure the diameter with the pinhole placed adjacent to the edge of a machinist's scale, marked in millimeters, with the aperture half exposed at its widest point and sufficiently backlit for proper viewing; you can easily estimate the pinhole diameter to within a quarter of a millimeter using this method. You need to practice this method on a dozen or so pinholes until you arrive at the cleanest, roundest, thinnest hole of the correct size for your camera's focal length.
Regarding film, though panchromatic sheet film yields shorter exposure times, don't discount the use of paper negatives, especially graded paper whose image contrast is less affected by the color of the light than with multi grade paper. There's also a theoretically sharper image possible with paper, due to it being sensitive to light of a wavelength shorter and narrower in spectrum than panchromatic film; though in practice you will lose this added sharpness if contact printing your paper negatives.
Like with everything else, there's a science to deriving the best possible results. But it's also possible to over analyze the details. My best advice is to shoot a lot of film or paper as you go along, because experience can teach you much, plus you won't be burdened as much by the prima donnas who eschew the primitive pinhole camera as something they did in school as a kid, but now they're beyond that. You will find through experience that there are only a few things that can truly improve the sharpness of your images (or, more exactly, prevent further degradation), and that also having a powerful artistic vision to you work is at least as important to the audience as is sharpness, which is often over-rated. In this regard, studying the work of other pinhole photographers can give you much inspiration creatively.

Small investor has questions for gold mining companies
Gold investors received glittering returns of almost 30 percent over the past 12 months as a result of fear and gloom, which make people with cash turn to precious metals rather than other investments, according to investors.
I am an investor in gold, but a very small player. I'm just big enough that I check the gold market each morning, just as everyone in the oil business looks for the morning price of sweet crude oil futures on the stock market page.
Gold is called an investment driven by love and fear.
For example, people tend to buy gold when they worry about their paper assets.
And there was plenty to fear in 2010, including foreign investors worrying about Greece, France Spain and Ireland.
On the other hand, there is love created by the gift of gold, and ounces of this yellow metal becoming a strong protector of wealth already held. Nations can devalue their dollars overnight, but gold has a world wide value.
As good as the gold market was in 2010, the gold funds market was even stronger, but with more risk. Most gold funds invest in the stocks of gold mining companies, rather than the metal itself. So when the price of gold goes up the value of the mining companies soars.
An investor in the gold market has to have some gambling blood in his veins. I'm such a small investor the market could fall apart and even my banker wouldn't care. But there are so many factors in this type of investment great care should be taken. For example, Joe Foster, portfolio manager of an international gold fund, said, "Gold production topped way back in 2001 and despite higher prices gold mines are not bringing in enough production to replace what is being depleted."
My question is, are these mining companies holding production back as do diamond companies to keep prices higher? I'm such a small investor I have no way of knowing.
In my case I've made money, but I'm surely not going to bet the peach orchard on it anytime soon.
