So Sgt. McKickass has a cigar in his mouth, and brings up a stick of dynamite; lighting the fuse off his cigar.  Usually includes McKickass performing an Unflinching Walk.
Can also be done with a cigarette or (conceivably) a pipe, but cigars just look cooler.
Occasionally it may be done inadvertently by carelessly tossing a still-smoldering smoke into an ill-placed box of dynamite or fireworks and igniting the fuses.
Not to be confused with Explosive Cigar. A means of subverting Hard-to-Light Fire. Couldn't Find a Lighter is the inverse. Compare to Reusable Lighter Toss.
Examples:
- This is how Shikamaru sets off a huge array of explosive tags during his fight with Hidan in the Naruto manga.
- In the One Piece anime, this is how the Whitebeard Pirates' 15th division commander Fossa ignites his sword.
- In Grimm Fairy Tales 2019 Holiday Special, a gang of bullies use a cigarette to light the fuse on a firecracker that they then use to blow up a young boy's snowman.
- Jonah Hex has done this on occasion, usually just before blasting outlaws out of an otherwise unassailable position.
- Jo, Zette and Jocko: In The Valley of the Cobras, Ramahjuni inadvertently lights the fuse of a stick of dynamite by throwing away his cigarette butt.
- In Sherwood, Texas #1, Gisburn uses a cigarette to light the fuse on the dynamite he uses to bury Rob Hood in the old copper mine.
- In Sillage, one of the Armada agents does it while on a mission on an alien planet, with the two fuses tied in front of his chest and a swivel gun under each arm. And riding a local equivalent of a pterodactyl.
- Dead-Eyed Tsuna: What Gokudera uses in order to light his dynamite more effectively. It doesn't help that it fits his idea of a mature, suave Mafioso.
- In Muffet The Mom, Muffet often puts her tremendous stogie to good use by lighting fuses, candles, and other flammable things with it.
- The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie (1981). Sylvester the Cat hides Tweety under an empty can. When the mobster Rocky finds Tweety under the can, he lights a firecracker with his cigarette and places under the can for Sylvester to find ("Catty Cornered").
- In The Three Caballeros, Jose Carioca lights the fireworks on Donald Duck's bull costume with his cigar.
- Clint Eastwood has done this on several occasions, such as in Two Mules for Sister Sara and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
- Dan Aykroyd does this in Coneheads when he lights the fuse to a tiny homemade firework, leading to a Moment of Awesome.
- In Cowboys & Aliens, after one of the bandits drops all the matches off a cliff, he asks how he's going to light the dynamite. The answer is the lit cigarillo he's been smoking the whole scene.
- Dead in Tombstone: Washington does this when the Blackwater Gang storms the prison at the start of the film, and Guerrero does as he is escaping from the mine on a wagon.
- The Deserter: Despite being shot and fatally wounded, the Chaplain uses his dying strength to touch his cigar to the fuse to set off the dynamite to trigger the avalanche. He even enjoys one final puff on it before the explosion.
- The final scene of Django Unchained has the title character lighting the fuse on some dynamite he's rigged to blow Candyland sky-high using the cigarette holder belonging to the late Calvin J. Candie.
- In A Fistful of Dollars, Ramone uses a cigar to light the fuse on the dynamite that blows up the wall around the Baxter house.
- The Magnificent Seven (2016): Faraday does this with a stick of dynamite just before he blows up the Gatling gun, and himself.
- In Sabata, Carrincha uses his his cigar to light the fuse on the dynamite after they have trapped Stengel's men in the box canyon.
- Sky Bandits: While robbing banks, Barney lights a dynamite fuse off his cigarette. Much later, he rides through the German base on a bicycle, smoking a cigar and casually lighting fuses and tossing the dynamite behind him.
- Porthos does this during the assault on the Tower of London in The Three Musketeers (2011).
- The hero in the Bollywood film Trishul lights the fuse to some dynamite using his cigarette.
- Comrade Sukhov in White Sun of the Desert does the inverted version: He lights his cigarette off a dynamite fuse.
- In The Wild Bunch, Pike uses his cigar to light the fuse on a stick of dynamite when threatening the general.
- In "The Six Maledictions" in The Hound of the D'Urbervilles, it's noted of Irish revolutionary bomber Tyrone Mountmain that if he's smoking a cigar, his dynamite is ready to hand.
- In Jerry of the Islands by Jack London, Van Horn has a lit cigar in his mouth for this purpose.
- Done by bad guy Santone in Rio Guns by J.T. Edson.
- Richard Sharpe borrows a cigar from another officer when he has no slow-match to light fuses with.
- In the Angel episode "Redefinition", currently Unfettered Angel uses the cigarette he's been smoking to show that he's in a morally-questionable mood to set Darla and Drusilla on fire with petrol.
- The A-Team:
- In one episode the team jury-rig a flamethrower, but fail to jury-rig a pilot light.
- In "The Children of Jamestown", Murdock was flying a helicopter and dropping sticks of dynamite that he would light with a cigar.

- Robert Culp lights a Cartoon Bomb off his cigarette in the opening credits of I Spy.
- The 'lighting a pool of gasoline' variant was tested on Mythbusters at one point. While they were able to demonstrate that a lit cigarette does burn at the temperature necessarily to ignite gas, their best efforts couldn't make it actually work. Thus, it was deemed 'Plausible' rather than 'Confirmed'.
- The Pretender: In the episode "Homefront", Jarod adopts the persona of an arms dealer, and takes up chomping enormous cigars. Near the end of the episode, he uses his cigar to light the fuse on a diversionary explosion, then throws it away and is cigarless thereafter.
- Parodied in an old comic called Crock: We see this guy lighting a bomb with his cigar and throwing something in the next panel. Then, there's an explosion and the following dialogue ensues:
"What have you done?!""... Hit the enemy with my cigar?"
- Call of Cthulhu supplement Terror from the Stars, section "Field Manual of the Theron Marks Society". Theron Marks himself is stated to always have a lit cigar in his mouth during adventures in order to light sticks of dynamite.
- Ogre leadbelchers in Warhammer.
- The cannon crabs in Alice: Madness Returns all do this.
- Sheriff Lonestar from Awesomenauts. Lonestar is a great fan of shooting things, but sometimes bullets just won't cut it. So to make sure it stays down, Lonestar will chuck cigar-lit sticks of dynamite at his foes!
- Slight variation in Call of Juarez: Gunslinger: Henry Plummer uses his pipe to light fuses.
- In Final Fantasy VII, one of Cid's Limit Breaks has him do this.
- Western-themed Half-Life 2 Game Mod Fistful of Frags also uses this for when the player is throwing dynamite around, despite none of the character models being seen with a cigar at any other time. They look exactly like the stogies favoured by Clint Eastwood's character from the "Dollars" trilogy, which is probably not coincidental.
- In Game & Watch: Mario's Bombs Away, this can happen by mistake to the bomb Mario's holding thanks to a careless fellow troop if he doesn't watch out.
- Left 4 Dead's Bill can be seen doing this with a molotov cocktail in the trailer for "The Sacrifice".
- In Mad Dog McCree, Mad Dog straps the Prospector to a barrel of TNT and uses his cigar to light the fuse. The player must shoot the fuse to save the Prospector.
- A boatman does this to a light a box full of pipe bombs in the Dark Water level of Metro: Last Light.
- Outlaws: The player character can chuck dynamite around. Alt-fire lights the fuse, and the animation consists of the PC removing his stogie from his mouth and applying it to the fuse.
- Skullgirls: 'Toon fighter Peacock does this with her level 3 No-Holds-Barred Beatdown super attack: She wraps her enemy in a burlap sack and calls on a group of her personal Mook army to help her smash the living daylights out of the opponent. She then walks away, puffing on a cigar as a Cartoon Bomb crony continues to beat the sack with a baseball bat. She then invokes this trope by casually tossing the cigar over her shoulder, detonating the bomb underling.
- Referenced in Concerned when Gordan Frohman meets his fellow rebels (who all introduce themselves by their character archetypes). One of them claims to be a demolitions expert who'll do exactly this.
- A Cool Cat cartoon had the title character confronted by Col. Rimfire and as a last request asks for a light for his cigarette. The Colonel obliges, not knowing that Cool Cat's cigarette is actually the fuse for a rocket he's planted against the Colonel's back.
- Love, Death & Robots. Played with in "Blind Spot". One of the robots is a cigar-chomper with a lighter built into his thumb. He later uses this thumb lighter to ignite a stream of fuel.
- Silent movie star Harold Lloyd was holding what he thought was a prop bomb and lit the fuse with a cigar. It wasn't a prop, and he lost two fingers on one hand when the bomb exploded. Safety Last! indeed.
- Fairly common for grenadier soldiers from mid-17th century and until hand grenades with fuses became obsolete. Though they usually smoked pipes, not cigars. And yes, those grenades were about equally dangerous to friends and enemies.
- This actually is a much safer and recommended way to light consumer fireworks than using a lighter or matches, which may spark. Although you are recommended to bring the cigar to the firework, not the firework to your face.
- Multiple videos from the Syrian Civil War show regime soldiers in helicopters and cargo aircraft lighting the fuses of barrel bombs with a lit cigar before rolling them out the back ramp. This is out of necessity, as the draft of the wind often extinguishes matches and lighters.

Reflections on Our 2018-2019 Workshops
Posted
A successful year of workshops
It’s summer at the CSDS, and that means we’re taking some time to reflect on the year and get ready for the year ahead. Our quarterly workshops have ended, and we have successfully run two research computing bootcamps.
Our last bootcamp of the year, Introduction to R for Geospatial Raster Data, introduced researchers and geospatial data practitioners to using R for raster data analysis. It was the final event of the newly-organized Geospatial Science Symposium at UChicago, organized by Marynia Kolak and the undergraduate YouthMappers chapter, the Tobler Society. We had over 35 individuals register for a day of learning how to work with R for raster data. Many students and several individuals outside the university attended the day-long workshop.
The day was ambitious, in that I had to cover both the basics of the R programming language and the basics of raster data. Combining both into a single day was challenging because of the quantity of material, so in the future, we could consider organizing a two-day workshop to introduce both basic R and geospatial data concepts. We will continue thinking about what programs are most useful for our researchers.
Upcoming work and plans for next year
Looking ahead to fall quarter, we will be putting together a series of R workshops for Luc Anselin’s Introduction to Spatial Data Science class taught in the fall. Currently, most of the labs are written for GeoDa, so we will be developing an R version of the course. We plan to run the fall R Spatial workshops as a supplement to the GeoDa version of the course.
Additionally, we are looking into organizing an Advanced R for Social Scientists course this fall, to further help our researchers and those in the UChicago research community. This curriculum has not yet been developed, so Colin Quirk and I are interested in building this out. We plan to introduce researchers to string and date manipulation, R Markdown, and advanced data joins.
Finally, now that workshops are complete for the year, I am putting together specialized resources for spatial analysis, including an R Spatial Cookbook. I also plan to add more content to this site, including blog post tutorials. Stay tuned for more in the next several months.
Have a great summer from all of us at the Center for Spatial Data Science!

Large Scale Machine Learning
Gradient Descent with Large Datasets
Learning With Large Datasets
One of the best ways to get a high performance machine learning system is to supply a lot of data into a low bias (overfitting) learning algorithm. The gradient descent algorithm can run very slowly if the training set is large, because a summation needs to be performed across all training examples to perform one step of gradient descent.
$$ h_\theta(x) = \sum\limits_{j=0}^n \theta_jx_j $$ $$ J_\text{train}(\theta) = \dfrac{1}{2m}\sum\limits_{i=1}^m(h_\theta(x^{(i)})-y^{(i)})^2 $$ $$ \theta_j := \theta_j - \alpha \dfrac{1}{m}\sum\limits_{i=1}^m (h_\theta(x^{(i)})-y^{(i)})x_j^{(i)} $$
- What if $m$ were 100,000,000? $\dfrac{1}{m}\sum\limits_{i=1}^m (h_\theta(x^{(i)})-y^{(i)})x_j^{(i)}$ becomes very expensive.
- Could we do a sanity check by running gradient descent with 1000 randomly selected examples?
- One way to verify this is to plot a learning curve for a range of values of m (say 100, 10,000, 1,000,000) and verify that the algorithm has high variance (overfitting) when m is small.
Stochastic Gradient Descent
Rather than running gradient descent on the entire training set, one can run gradient descent on one training set at a time. The following is the Stochastic Gradient Descent algorithm:
$$ \text{cost}(\theta, (x^{(i)}, y^{(i)})) = \dfrac{1}{2}(h_\theta(x^{(i)})-y^{(i)})^2 $$ $$ J_\text{train}(\theta) = \dfrac{1}{2m}\sum\limits_{i=1}^m\text{cost}(\theta, (x^{(i)}, y^{(i)})) $$
- Randomly shuffle or reorder the dataset.
- Repeat { for i = 1, …, m { $$ \theta_j := \theta_j - \alpha(h_\theta(x^{(i)}) - y^{(i)})x_j^{(i)} $$ for j = 0, …, n } } Rather than waiting to sum up all of the training sets before taking a step, we can take a step on a single training example.
- Repeat the outer loop somewhere between 1 and 10 times. The inner loop would require iterating through all of your training examples.
Mini-Batch Gradient Descent
Mini-Batch Gradient Descent is a variation of Stochastic Gradient Descent except rather than using a single example in each iteration, it uses $b$ examples in each iteration where $b$ is the mini-batch size. A typical choice for $b$ is 10, where $b$ ranges between 2-100.
b = 10 example:
$$ (x^{(i)}, y^{(i)}), \dots, (x^{(i+9)}, y^{(i+9)}) $$ $$ \theta_j := \theta_j - \alpha\dfrac{1}{10} \sum\limits_{k=1}^{i+9}(h_\theta(x^{(k)})-y^{(k)})x_j^{(k)}$$ Increment $i$ by 10 and repeat until all training examples are used
This algorithm becomes the same as normal batch gradient descent if $b = m$.
Stochastic Gradient Descent Convergence
Stochastic gradient descent does not converge nicely like Batch gradient descent. In Batch gradient descent, the cost function would decrease as the number of iterations of gradient descent increased. In Stochastic gradient descent, this is not certain.
$$ \text{cost}(\theta, (x^{(i)}, y^{(i)})) = \dfrac{1}{2}(h_\theta(x^{(i)} - y^{(i)}))^2 $$ During learning, compute $\text{cost}(\theta, (x^{(i)}, y^{(i)}))$ before updating $\theta$ using $(x^{(i)}, y^{(i)})$. Every 1000 iterations (approximately, depends on your use case), plot $\text{cost}(\theta, (x^{(i)}, y^{(i)}))$ averaged over the last 1000 examples processed by the algorithm.
The learning rate should be sufficiently small. Additionally, when the stochasti gradient descent nears a minima, one way to make it converge is to slowly make the learning rate $\alpha$ decrease over time.
One example of doing this is to make $\alpha = \dfrac{\text{const1}}{\text{iterationNumber} + \text{const2}}$. The constants are application dependent.
Advanced Topics
Online Learning
Online learning allows one to model problems where data is commin in as a continuous stream. Your training set is infinite. One way to handle this is to update your models whenever the training data is given to you (one step of Stochastic Gradient Descent), and then use the resulting trained model.
Map Reduce and Data Parallelism
Map Reduce and Data Parallelism are ways to break up multiple chunks of data into smaller, parallelizable parts. Take the following use case of Batch Gradient Descent:
Whenever your learning algorithm can be expressed as computing sums of functions over the training set, map reduce may offer you some better optimization. There is also a benefit if your single machine has multiple cores, as each of the cores can perform parallelised computation.
Move on to Week 11.


The following expectation ignores the mock object fruitbat during the test.
ignoring (fruitbat);
During the test any method of fruitbat can be called any number of times or not called at all.
When an ignored object is invoked during the test it returns a "zero" value that depends on the result type of the invoked method:
| Return Type | "Zero" Value |
|---|---|
| boolean | false |
| numeric type | zero |
| String | "" (empty string) |
| Array | Empty array |
| Mockable type | A mock that is ignored |
| Any other type | null |
The fact that a method with a mockable return type will return another ignored mock object makes the ignoring expectation very powerful. The returned object will also return "zero" values, and any mockable values it returns will also be ignored, and any mockable values they return will be ignored, and so on. This allows you to focus individual tests on different aspects of an object's functionality, ignoring irrelevant collaborators.
For example, the following statement ignores the Hibernate SessionFactory
,
and the current Session
obtained from the
getCurrentSession()
method, and the Transaction returned from
the beginTransaction()
method and the commit()
and
rollback()
methods of the Transaction. So you can specify the
behaviour of the object independently of how it coordinates transactions and
test the transaction management in other tests.
ignoring (hibernateSessionFactory);

flush - Flush buffered output for a channel
flush channelId
Flushes any output that has been buffered for channelId.
ChannelId must be an identifier for an open channel such as a Tcl standard channel (stdout or stderr), the return value from an invocation of open or socket, or the result of a channel creation command provided by a Tcl extension. The channel must have been opened for writing.
If the channel is in blocking mode the command does not return until all the buffered output has been flushed to the channel. If the channel is in nonblocking mode, the command may return before all buffered output has been flushed; the remainder will be flushed in the background as fast as the underlying file or device is able to absorb it.

Speciation is a central subject in our lab. We are interested in the phylogenetic reconstruction of closely related species and in the development of methods to understand plant speciation. We are also interested in methods that allow the reconstruction of species trees form possibly incongruent gene trees and in processes that produce incongruent gene trees. In this context, the statistical identification of hybridisation events is a topic of great interest to us.
Hybridisation, or the mating of two species, is a widespread phenomenon in flowering plants. Yet, it is often difficult to evaluate its importance in a given group because the genetic patterns caused by hybridisation are similar to those of other conflicting processes. I recently developped an approach (Joly et al. 2009) that allows the statistical detection of hybridisation events, as opposed to incomplete lineage sorting phenomenon cause by genetic drift. The program JML (Joly, 2012), implements this approach.
The reconstruction of the evolutionary history of species is a major theme of the lab, especially for closely related species. Important progresses have been achieved recently to develop highly sophisticated probabilistic methods to reconstruct species trees from possibly incongruent gene trees. We are using such methods to reconstruct species evolution, but we are also developping new tools that help to understand the evolution of species (Joly and Bruneau, 2006, 2009; Joly et al., 2007; Joly et al., 2014).


Previous: Determining EOP from exhaustion, Up: End of parse [Contents][Index]
Occasionally, an exhaustion-hating application may not know
the length of its input in advance.
Since these applications will not know from the length of the input,
or from exhaustion, that they are at end of input,
they will need some other way of determining this.
One way they may do this is with a
MARPA_EVENT_SYMBOL_COMPLETED
event.
An example of such an application that has seen much use is
the Marpa::R2
lexer.
The Marpa::R2
lexer looks for one of a set of “lexemes”,
seeking the longest one.
It does this by declaring
a MARPA_EVENT_SYMBOL_COMPLETED
event
for each lexeme, and recording the most recent location
at which one of these completion events occurs.
The Marpa::R2
lexer stops looking for the longest lexeme on parse exhaustion,
and at that point treats the parse location of the most recent
MARPA_EVENT_SYMBOL_COMPLETED
event
as the EOP.
If no MARPA_EVENT_SYMBOL_COMPLETED
event occurred,
the Marpa::R2
lexer failed to find a lexeme,
and reports a lexing error.

About us
The RIT Electric Vehicle Team (EVT) is a student-run organization dedicated to promoting the viability of electric vehicles through real-world demonstrations of electric drivetrains in action. The team has designed and build a fully electric superbike that is raced in events at the professional level.
The team is all inclusive and is comprised of members with fields of study including engineering, industrial design, computer science, and business, among others. Many members join the team as freshmen, working on introductory and intermediary projects to assist in the development of their analysis, design, manufacturing, critical thinking, and testing skill sets. The next step involves contributing to projects directly related to the superbike, allowing the team to utilize these refined skills. Many members quickly become team leaders and are integrated into the team's leadership program, which teaches them to work with sub-teams to integrate new designs and features while understanding management principles. Overall, we are able to utilize these leadership skills to further develop the team and provide members structured feedback on their development.
While the overall goal of the team involves the successful design of our superbikes, we value the knowledge we are able to provide our team members. Knowledge is an invaluable tool that our team members utilize to obtain co-ops during schooling and full time jobs upon RIT graduation. We utilize extra resources to "reinvent the wheel," as it provides an unparalleled learning experience and allows us to push current technologies to the limit. The superbike project is a continuous learning experience that provides new challenges and opportunities for our members to propose new ideas that will take us into the future of electric vehicles.
The electrical team is responsible for all custom circuit design and electrical system integration for the superbike. Major projects include the design and development of the Battery Management System (BMS), Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), Low Voltage Subsystem (LVSS), and the Thermal Management System (TMS). Recently, these project teams designed, laid-out, and populated new PCBs. They are now in the testing phase before these new revisions are implemented on the superbike. For more information about the current projects, feel free to contact the team at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>The mechanical team is responsible for the design of various components on the motorcycle, as well as the integration of everything inside the frame. On REV2, the mechanical team used Solidworks software to create a virtual representation of the bike that was used for the design of the frame, battery, cooling loops, motor mounting, and other aspects of the bike. The most recent project involved the design and manufacturing of a new battery pack utilizing cylindrical cells. The mechanical team continuously maintains the superbike, ensuring peak competition performance.
The firmware team is a multidisciplinary design team dedicated to building the embedded software systems required to field a competitive race vehicle. The BMS, IMU, and TMS all require extensive firmware development to ensure proper functionality. A subset of the firmware team is currently responsible for designing and maintaining REV2's gateway, which aggregates and records data from the CAN bus. Data collection from each device on REV1 and REV2 allow the team to monitor the health of the bike and ensure proper behavior, as well as benchmarking performance.
The newest subgroup consists of a small group of industrial design students that are responsible for REV 2's body panel design and decal work, team and sponsor banners, and most outward facing public documents. The most recent accomplishment of the design team is demonstrated in REV 2's fairing design, including the new company decal scheme and paint job. Additionally, the Design Team provides input during various design reviews, offering a fresh perspective that allows our engineers to approach problems from different angles. Overall, the Design Team has proven to be an invaluable asset to EVT and will continue to grow with the team.

Loading up a Mod Running on the Source Engine
While visiting an old project, Space Escape, I realized that I had forgotten how to load it into Steam and launch it. So, here are the steps that I took:
- Make sure to have Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch installed as well as the Steam tools, found under Library | Tools, Source SDK and Source SDK Base 2006.
- Locate the mod folder that goes into the sourcemods folder in Steam and place it in there (..Steam\steamapps\sourcemods).
- If there is one, place the other folder in the root directory where Steam is located. For me this was D:\, but for most people this will be C:\.
- If there isn't a second folder, launch Source SDK.
- Set the Engine Version to Source Engine 2006.
- Set the Current Game to Half-Life 2.
- Launch Create a Mod by double-clicking it.
- Modify Half-Life 2 Single-player.
- Set the first location to C:\McMod, create a folder if necessary.
- Set the name of the mod to mcmod.
- Click Next.
- Now the files should have been created and you can exit Source SDK.
- Restart Steam.
- The mod should now be located under the My Games tab in your steam library of Games.
- After this, load up the game, and to load the map of Space Escape open the console (~), and type "map mod_gold" and hit enter.

About Waterloo Maker Group
Waterloo Maker Group was founded by Austin Cousineau, Tim Vieregge and Stuart Alldritt during the Spring of 2012. With a co-op work term comming up, they all had many ideas for projects they wanted to do over the summer. They realized that their projects were all interesting enough that other people might want to know more about them. To that end, they formed this group and website, The Waterloo Maker Group, to host information about themselves and their projects. Each project has a blog, gallery, and Git repository, where project progress is stored centrally. Members of the group have profile pages which are kept updated with contact information and biographies.
About this website
This website is intended to be a central location for all information about Waterloo Maker Group. You can find out about the history of the members and contact information in Profiles. All our current projects, or projects that are currently in the planning phase, can be found under the projects portal. Each project is hosted in its own GitHub repository, as are the web-pages that support it. Throughout the site, links back to relevant GitHub pages are included when necessary. Our main GitHub account is here.

Dorothy Gale lived on a farm in Kansas, with her Aunt Em and her Uncle Henry. It was not a big farm, nor a very good one, because sometimes the rain did not come when the crops needed it, and then everything withered and dried up. Once a cyclone had carried away Uncle Henry’s house, so that he was obliged to build another; and as he was a poor man he had to mortgage his farm to get the money to pay for the new house. Then his health became bad and he was too feeble to work. The doctor ordered him to take a sea voyage and he went to Australia and took Dorothy with him. That cost a lot of money, too.
Uncle Henry grew poorer every year, and the crops raised on the farm only bought food for the family. Therefore the mortgage could not be paid. At last the banker who had loaned him the money said that if he did not pay on a certain day, his farm would be taken away from him.
This worried Uncle Henry a good deal, for without the farm he would have no way to earn a living. He was a good man, and worked in the field as hard as he could; and Aunt Em did all the housework, with Dorothy’s help. Yet they did not seem to get along.
This little girl, Dorothy, was like dozens of little girls you know.  Life was a serious thing to Dorothy, and a wonderful thing, too, for she had encountered more strange adventures in her short life than many other girls of her age.
Aunt Em once said she thought the fairies must have marked Dorothy at her birth, because she had wandered into strange places and had always been protected by some unseen power. As for Uncle Henry, he thought his little niece merely a dreamer, as her dead mother had been, for he could not quite believe all the curious stories Dorothy told them of the Land of Oz, which she had several times visited. He did not think that she tried to deceive her uncle and aunt, but he imagined that she had dreamed all of those astonishing adventures, and that the dreams had been so real to her that she had come to believe them true.
Whatever the explanation might be, it was certain that Dorothy had been absent from her Kansas home for several long periods, always disappearing unexpectedly, yet always coming back safe and sound, with amazing tales of where she had been and the unusual people she had met. Her uncle and aunt listened to her stories eagerly and in spite of their doubts began to feel that the little girl had gained a lot of experience and wisdom that were unaccountable in this age, when fairies are supposed no longer to exist.
Most of Dorothy’s stories were about the Land of Oz, with its beautiful Emerald City and a lovely girl Ruler named Ozma, who was the most faithful friend of the little Kansas girl. When Dorothy told about the riches of this fairy country Uncle Henry would sigh, for he knew that a single one of the great emeralds that were so common there would pay all his debts and leave his farm free. But Dorothy never brought any jewels home with her, so their poverty became greater every year.
When the banker told Uncle Henry that he must pay the money in thirty days or leave the farm, the poor man was in despair, as he knew he could not possibly get the money. So he told his wife, Aunt Em, of his trouble, and she first cried a little and then said that they must be brave and do the best they could, and go away somewhere and try to earn an honest living. But they were getting old and feeble and she feared that they could not take care of Dorothy as well as they had formerly done. Probably the little girl would also be obliged to go to work.
They did not tell their niece the sad news for several days, not wishing to make her unhappy; but one morning the little girl found Aunt Em softly crying while Uncle Henry tried to comfort her. Then Dorothy asked them to tell her what was the matter.
“We must give up the farm, my dear,” replied her uncle sadly, “and wander away into the world to work for our living.”
The girl listened quite seriously, for she had not known before how desperately poor they were.
“We don’t mind for ourselves,” said her aunt, stroking the little girl’s head tenderly; “but we love you as if you were our own child, and we are heart-broken to think that you must also endure poverty, and work for a living before you have grown big and strong.”
“What could I do to earn money?” asked Dorothy.
“You might do housework for someone, dear, you are so handy; or perhaps you could be a nurse-maid to little children. I’m sure I don’t know exactly what you CAN do to earn money, but if your uncle and I are able to support you we will do it willingly, and send you to school. We fear, though, that we shall have much trouble in earning a living for ourselves. No one wants to employ old people who are broken down in health, as we are.”
Dorothy smiled.
“Wouldn’t it be funny,” she said, “for me to do housework in Kansas, when I’m a Princess in the Land of Oz?”
“A Princess!” they both exclaimed, astonished.
“Yes; Ozma made me a Princess some time ago, and she has often begged me to come and live always in the Emerald City,” said the child.
Her uncle and aunt looked at her in amazement. Then the man said:
“Do you suppose you could manage to return to your fairyland, my dear?”
“Oh yes,” replied Dorothy; “I could do that easily.”
“How?” asked Aunt Em.
“Ozma sees me every day at four o’clock, in her Magic Picture. She can see me wherever I am, no matter what I am doing. And at that time, if I make a certain secret sign, she will send for me by means of the Magic Belt, which I once captured from the Nome King. Then, in the wink of an eye, I shall be with Ozma in her palace.”
The elder people remained silent for some time after Dorothy had spoken. Finally, Aunt Em said, with another sigh of regret:
“If that is the case, Dorothy, perhaps you’d better go and live in the Emerald City. It will break our hearts to lose you from our lives, but you will be so much better off with your fairy friends that it seems wisest and best for you to go.”
“I’m not so sure about that,” remarked Uncle Henry, shaking his gray head doubtfully. “These things all seem real to Dorothy, I know; but I’m afraid our little girl won’t find her fairyland just what she had dreamed it to be. It would make me very unhappy to think that she was wandering among strangers who might be unkind to her.”
Dorothy laughed merrily at this speech, and then she became very sober again, for she could see how all this trouble was worrying her aunt and uncle, and knew that unless she found a way to help them their future lives would be quite miserable and unhappy. She knew that she COULD help them. She had thought of a way already. Yet she did not tell them at once what it was, because she must ask Ozma’s consent before she would be able to carry out her plans.
So she only said:
“If you will promise not to worry a bit about me, I’ll go to the Land of Oz this very afternoon. And I’ll make a promise, too; that you shall both see me again before the day comes when you must leave this farm.”
“The day isn’t far away, now,” her uncle sadly replied. “I did not tell you of our trouble until I was obliged to, dear Dorothy, so the evil time is near at hand. But if you are quite sure your fairy friends will give you a home, it will be best for you to go to them, as your aunt says.”
That was why Dorothy went to her little room in the attic that afternoon, taking with her a small dog named Toto.
The child had kissed her uncle and aunt affectionately before she went upstairs, and now she looked around her little room rather wistfully, gazing at the simple trinkets and worn calico and gingham dresses, as if they were old friends. She was tempted at first to make a bundle of them, yet she knew very well that they would be of no use to her in her future life.
She sat down upon a broken-backed chair—the only one the room contained—and holding Toto in her arms waited patiently until the clock struck four.
Then she made the secret signal that had been agreed upon between her and Ozma.
Uncle Henry and Aunt Em waited downstairs. They were uneasy and a good deal excited, for this is a practical humdrum world, and it seemed to them quite impossible that their little niece could vanish from her home and travel instantly to fairyland.
So they watched the stairs, which seemed to be the only way that Dorothy could get out of the farmhouse, and they watched them a long time. They heard the clock strike four but there was no sound from above.
Half-past four came, and now they were too impatient to wait any longer. Softly, they crept up the stairs to the door of the little girl’s room.
“Dorothy! Dorothy!” they called.
There was no answer.
They opened the door and looked in.
The room was empty.

ORGAZMO A film review by Matt Williams
RATING: * out of * * * *
Orgazmo is a movie that feels like one of those "before they were famous" photos. Made by the creators of South Park, before that show ever hit the air, this spoof of "adult" films and kung-fu movies shows some comic potential, but it just misses the mark.
Elder Joe Young (Trey Parker) is the stereotypical clean-cut Mormon, doing his mission work on the seedy side of L.A. One day, he has the misfortune to accidentally interrupt the shooting of a porno film. The director, Maxxx Orbison (Michael Dean Jacobs), sics his goons upon Joe. But when Joe defends himself with some impressive kung-fu moves, Maxxx hires him on the spot.
Now, Joe has a few moral issues with starring in a pornographic film. But, since Joe desperately needs the money for his upcoming marriage to his sweet fiancee Lisa (Robyn Lynne Raab), he is able to look past the ethics (besides, it's only acting).
However, things begin to get strange when his real life identity and his alter ego start to converge. Ben (Dian Bachar), Captain Orgazmo's sidekick Choda-Boy, is a closet genius, inventing all sorts of techno-gadgets. When a group of thugs threaten Ben's friend G-Fresh (Masao "Maki" San), Joe and Ben must become Captain Orgazmo and Choda-Boy to thwart the evildoers and their evil scheme.
If all this sounds rather odd, and in poor taste, well, it is. This IS from the makers of South Park, after all. However, few of the jokes here seem inspired...most are blatantly obvious, and only a few are funny.
Surprisingly, the best parts of the film are when it is spoofing the kung fu genre, rather than its outlandish soft porn. Simple gags, such as Ben's mystical "hamster-style" martial arts provide much of the film's humor.
But, unfortunately, it's not enough to support the whole film. Even with a relatively short running time, the film quickly gets repetitive. This one might make a good midnight movie on cable...but it's not worth the effort at your local movie theater.
