Background.
I was seeking a legal alternative to pestering my friends for a shroom hookup (or better yet stumbling onto that random LSD hookup) and the internet came to my rescue with a vast amount of information on Morning Glory and its cousin the Hawaiian Baby Woodrose. After about 8 hours of research online I made some orders and had some of both types of seeds in the mail. This text covers the experiments and experiences I had with Morning Glory Heavenly Blues only.
A submission by the user iJoe entitled 'No Barf Sublingual Technique' that covers his experience with HBW served as my guide for the preparation and ingestion. I chose it because I wanted:
1. A 'clean' experience, nausea free, without having to involve any solvents whatsoever.
2. Little/no required preparation time. I like to be fairly spontaneous.
3. To see if I could confirm one of very few reports I've yet seen on this method, and to see if it also applies to Morning Glory, not just HBW (some user reviews of HBW also confirmed that iJoe's no barf technique works)
Source.
An internet 'shaman' shop shipped 4oz at a very reasonable $19(USD) shipped. These seeds are organically grown, untreated.
Preparation.
For each of 2 experiments (dosages to follow) I used the following appraoch:
Ground entire dose into very fine powder with a whirly-blade coffee grinder, with short pulses in rapid succession. Added dose to about 2 tsp water, or enough to get it to form a paste. Placed the dose in the refrigerator and waited 30 minutes. By then it was thick and pasty so I added a little extra water (1/2 tsp) before I spooned the dose into my mouth and proceeded to hold it there for anywhere from 25-45 minutes depending how gross it got. Spit it out, rinsed very thoroughly and that's it.
The only problem with this method when doing Morning Glory is the sheer quantity of seed paste I was holding in my mouth. I pushed the boundaries of my big cheeks - limited to 5g max in the mouth due to the accumulation of saliva and the expansion of the seed paste as it absorbs water. That doesn't mean I can't take a bigger dose, it'll just have to be done in installments which will take more time.
Dosages and Resultant Experiences.
I attempted to ramp up to the right dose (was seeking something psychedelic but NOT completely incoherent and delirious) by first establishing what was needed for a light or common dose using this technique, and moving up from there. I used the dosage page as a starting point, and added 50% to compensate for non-complete ingestion.
Dose 1: 6 grams (2 'installments')
My business partner was hanging around my apartment finishing up his work on a Friday afternoon and I decided to try to get some threshold effects for the evening. The preparation was as described above. There was so much sludge after letting the seeds sit in a bit of water that I decided it was infeasible to hold it all in my mouth at once so I did it in 2 installments, half for 25 minutes, then the other half for 35 minutes. There was about 45 minutes between each half-dose.
Within a half hour after the second I was sure I felt effects. I suddenly wanted to be the comedian for my gf and my friend who was still there, behavior typical of past LSD experiences. I felt really happy and totally confident in my decision to dose this stuff. The dose was so low that I was very much in control, yet I really did feel pretty trippy without visuals. We smoked some weed before going out to my favorite bar (I had good experiences drinking on LSD so I figured why not) and that lifted my mood even higher. These effects lasted thru the next 4 hrs. I got to sleep with no real trouble when we went home later. Woke well rested a very slight afterglow.
Dose 2: 9 grams (all at once!)
6:35pm in mouth
7:25pm out
This was a highly ambitious quantity of seed paste to be holding all at once.  I recommend keeping a cup or mug around so if you need to make some extra room you can just spit some stuff out. By the end of the 50 minutes I had spit out maybe 15% of the seed paste to make more room. During the last 5 minutes I tried to keep some paste from leaking out and accidentally triggered the swallow reflex, so a tiny bit of seed paste accidently went down the hatch. It wasn't much but it burned like FIRE. I can see why people get nausea from ingesting these.
+30mins Feeling something, not much
+1hr Definitely feeling something
+2hr Wow its just like LSD. I need to reassure myself during the come up 'yes this is ok', there were alternating waves of slight unease and complete happiness. Having good friends around who I trust well gave me lots of positive things to focus on. It was a great distraction from the sort of disconnection I was feeling from my digestive system and body in general. I had no nausea but I had familiar LSD-like gas and a certain uneasy lightness in my stomach that came and went in waves.
+4hr Very much was peaking. I felt the waves of unease dissipating, and I was coming into full control of the trip. For me that is EXACTLY like LSD. From this point on I actually was forgetting that I wasn't on LSD since its so familiar. I took a small hit of weed with the group (very very small hit for me) and it intensified the whole thing as predicted.
+6hr I've been writing this dose/experience report for the last 20 minutes. I don't feel like I've stopped peaking yet.  Remembering some of Leary's LSD research and his theories on 'imprints' I decided to try the peach that my girlfriend was eating - I typically don't like the tartness of peaches but I'd like to be able to enjoy them. It was an amazing peach. I'll be interested to see if I still like peaches this much tomorrow, because right now they're about all I want.
+7hr sleepy time. I had a glass of wine.
+15hr Just woke up. I feel refreshed, and recall some very vivid dreams. I still have slight visual distortion around the edges of solid objects.
Conclusions.
This absorption method absolutely works for me. I think the most important factor was the length of time that I held the sludge in my mouth. I felt as though I got more 'bang' per gram from the second experiment because I held the sludge roughly twice as long and swished it around like mouthwash quite a bit.

createlang - install a PostgreSQL procedural language
createlang [connection-option...] langname [dbname]
createlang [connection-option...] --list | -l [dbname]
createlang is a utility for adding a procedural language to a PostgreSQL database.
createlang is just a wrapper around the CREATE EXTENSION (CREATE_EXTENSION(7)) SQL command.
Caution
createlang is deprecated and may be removed in a future PostgreSQL release. Direct use of the CREATE EXTENSION command is recommended instead.
createlang accepts the following command-line arguments:
langname
Specifies the name of the procedural language to be installed. (This name is lower-cased.)
[-d] dbname
[--dbname=]dbname
Specifies the database to which the language should be added. The default is to use the database with the same name as the current system user.
-e
--echo
Display SQL commands as they are executed.
-l
--list
Show a list of already installed languages in the target database.
-V
--version
Print the createlang version and exit.
-?
--help
Show help about createlang command line arguments, and exit.
createlang also accepts the following command-line arguments for connection parameters:
-h host
--host=host
Specifies the host name of the machine on which the server is running. If the value begins with a slash, it is used as the directory for the Unix domain socket.
-p port
--port=port
Specifies the TCP port or local Unix domain socket file extension on which the server is listening for connections.
-U username
--username=username
User name to connect as.
-w
--no-password
Never issue a password prompt. If the server requires password authentication and a password is not available by other means such as a .pgpass file, the connection attempt will fail. This option can be useful in batch jobs and scripts where no user is present to enter a password.
-W
--password
Force createlang to prompt for a password before connecting to a database.
This option is never essential, since createlang will automatically prompt for a password if the server demands password authentication. However, createlang will waste a connection attempt finding out that the server wants a password. In some cases it is worth typing -W to avoid the extra connection attempt.
PGDATABASE
PGHOST
PGPORT
PGUSER
Default connection parameters
This utility, like most other PostgreSQL utilities, also uses the environment variables supported by libpq (see Section 31.14, (lqEnvironment Variables(rq, in the documentation).
Most error messages are self-explanatory. If not, run createlang with the --echo option and see the respective SQL command for details. Also, any default connection settings and environment variables used by the libpq front-end library will apply.
Use droplang(1) to remove a language.
To install the language pltcl into the database template1:
$ createlang pltcl template1
Note that installing the language into template1 will cause it to be automatically installed into subsequently-created databases as well.
droplang(1), CREATE EXTENSION (CREATE_EXTENSION(7)), CREATE LANGUAGE (CREATE_LANGUAGE(7))


Isogon
An isogon connects tangential points between the upper and lower bedding plane of a fold with two parallel lines.


In computer science, a rough set, first described by Polish computer scientist Zdzisław I. Pawlak, is a formal approximation of a crisp set (i.e., conventional set) in terms of a pair of sets which give the lower and the upper approximation of the original set. Rough sets constitutes a sound basis for Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD). It offers mathematical tools to discover patterns hidden in data, feature selection, feature extraction, data reduction, decision rule generation etc.
IS = (U, A). U is a non-empty finite set of objects, A is a non-empty finite set of attributes such that a: U → Va for every a ∈ A. Va is called the value set of a.
DS = (U, A ∪ D). Elements of A are called conditional attributes, D contains one or more decision attributes. In the below DS d is a1 OR a2
Let U = {O1, O2, O3, O4, O5} be the universal set of the objects.
Any set X ⊆ U is called a concept.
‘Attribute-1’ induces a relation R on U thus dividing it into two concepts C1 = {O1, O2, O4} and C2
=
{O3, O5}. These concepts C1 and C2 are clearly explainable by the knowledge using ‘Attribute-1’. Now
consider a concept C = {O1, O4} which can not be explained by the knowledge. Hence, we try to see if
we
can approximately explain the concepts using Rough sets.
Now, the concept C = {O1, O4} can not be explained by the knowledge. To explain the concept, we define lower and upper approximations to the concept. The lower approximation contains the elements that can be classified with complete certainty as the members of C. The upper approximation includes the elements that can be classified as the members of C with any certainty. Any concept whose lower and upper approximations are equal is called an R-definable concept. In the following article, we’ll look into some basic topics from Discrete Mathematics that are essential for Rough sets.

V-Ray GPU can get speedups of 40 percent thanks to RTX support
V-Ray GPU now supports RTX hardware, bringing significant speed increases.
by Sean EndicottSource: Windows Central
What you need to know
- V-Ray Next GPU now supports ray-tracing hardware within NVIDIA's RTX GPUs.
- RTX support is live in V-Ray Next for 3ds Max, update 3, and will arrive soon for Maya and other V-Ray products.
- This support brings an average speed increase of 40 percent, according to Chaos Group.
V-Ray's 3-D rendering software is an industry-standard tool for realistic 3-D image creation. It's used to render images of buildings, visual effects, and other graphically intense scenes. Now, V-Ray Next GPU supports ray-tracing hardware within NVIDIA RTX GPUs. This support brings an average speedup of 40 percent, according to Chaos Group.
Chaos Group breaks down the advantages of RTX support in a new post. V-Ray GPU was already able to render on NVIDIA RTX cards, but can now utilize the ray-tracing cores to speed up rendering. RTX support is already live for 3ds Max, update 3, and will roll out to Maya and other V-Ray products in the future.
According to Chaos Group, the final render of an image will look the same whether you elect to use the CUDA engine or the new RTX engine. Chaos Group points out that the speed increases that you'll see will vary on a number of factors, including how "heavy" shaders are within a project. The company states that the average speedup is about 40 percent.
In order to take advantage of RTX support, you'll have to make sure your device's drivers are up to date. You need driver 441.28 to use the RTX engine in V-Ray GPU.

When I was searching for ways to write integation tests in a project, I discovered Test Containers project. I decided to give it a shot and learnt more about the project.
Thanks to the wonderful testcontainers/testcontainers-go
1 package, it was relatively straightforward to bootstrap the setup into my project - code, tests, and CI. I was pretty happy about the entire experience. Maybe I will share the setup here sometime in the future.
Unfortunately, the CI pipeline broke out of the blue on the morning July 12 2023.
When I checked the logs, it was clear that something funny is going on with test containers.
http: invalid Host header, host port waiting failed: could not start container: creating reaper failed: failed to create container
After further investigation, I discovered that the crux of the issue originated from a security patch on the Go project with Go v1.20.6 release. This change cascaded to the docker
client package, used by testconatiners-go
pacakge.
Fortunately, the docker/moby project quickly fixed it and issued a new release.2
However, I had to wait for the testcontainers-go
project to update their dependencies.3
Meanwhile, I came to know that we can pin the “indirect” dependencies in Go Modules.
This effectively meant that I could resolve the issue on my project, without needing a fix from testcontainers-go
project. It was as simple as:
go get<EMAIL_ADDRESS>This discovery that we can update indirect dependencies in our modules, independently of the direct dependency. I’m not sure whether this clarifies the concept of modules for me or confuses me even further. But it is what it is. If somebody is willing to share why/how this works, I will be extremely grateful.
Everyday I am amazed by the wonderful OSS community that collaborates, and contributes so much to the wellbeing of the systems we build. It’s just a marvellous feat of the anthropocene era.

I recently decided to participate in a RAD race, which will be held on 9 and 10 November. A RAD race is a competition in which teams (of two people in this case) build a real-life application in two days, using the language and tools of their choice.
‘Rapid Application Development’ is an old term whose meaning changed a couple of times over the course of history and even brings back memories of some IBM products *shivers*. But the fact that people still organise these events shows that we keep looking for better, cheaper, faster ways of building software. This particular RAD race is being held for the 15th time, nuff said.
The Problem
On the technology side everything is clear. We’ll be building the app using PlayFramework - only the single best way to build java web apps -, Java, Twitter Bootstrap, JQuery. We’ll be using Git for version management, and probably Eclipse on Windows. I’m still in negotiation with my teammate - let’s call him Matti - about the latter two. (If you ask him, we’re only negotiating about Git and perhaps a client-side mvc framework. In short: no question there ;-)).
But right in the middle of the excitement Matti and I felt when we decided to enter the competition, a question popped up: what about testing?
What should we test? When should we be writing them? Should we be writing any tests at all?
For any real project, the answer would be simple: we’d be writing tests for everything, and we’d be writing them first. But for the RAD race, things may be different.
The funny thing about simulation games
As a student, I regularily participated in stock exchange simulation games. That is, until I got annoyed enough by the fact that the winner was always the one who put all of his play money in one basket. Sure, for every winner, there were tens of people who used the same strategy and didn’t win, but neither did the ones who did build a life-like diversified portfolio.
The point is that every simulation game rule system has its flaws, and that participants can exploit these flaws in order to win. In most stock exchange simulation games, the flaw is that there’s no real money, so in order to maximize profit, you take as much (fake) risk as you can.
In a RAD race, the flaw is that your code won’t be running in production for years to come. There won’t be angry users asking for quick hacks on the phone, and no third or fourth generation junior developer who’s made responsible for maintaining the damned thing.
TDD vs Time
Does this mean that my teammate and I won’t be writing time-consuming tests during the RAD race?
First, saying that TDD is time-consuming is like saying your bookkeeper is costing you money. If it is, you’re doing it wrong.
TDD is about producing time, namely time you won’t be spending looking for that annoying business blocking bug. Which will probably be during a weekend in your holiday or the one right before your code goes into production.
And if your code doesn’t go into production, the bug will definitely bite you during the demo you’re giving to one of the RAD race judges.
Secondly, saying that writing tests is time-consuming implies a direct relationship between Lines Of Code and Time. Or that the productivity of a programmer can be measured in LOC, which is absurd, of course.
So we won’t be writing legacy code (aka code without tests) from the start of the RAD race. We will, however, adapt ourselves to the situation, in casu a simulation game situation.
We’ll plan to TDD the business logic, especially if there’s complex algorithms involved. And we’ll have UI tests that cover at least every page in the app, but probably without checking every possible corner case.
But I’m still negotiating on that with Matti.

Title
As I stand out here in the wonders of the unknown at Hadley, I sort of realize there’s a fundamental truth to our nature, Man must explore . . . and this is exploration at its greatest.
That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.
We want to explore. We’re curious people.  We believe in what we’re doing. Now it’s time to go.
Across the sea of space, the stars are other suns.
When I orbited the Earth in a spaceship, I saw for the first time how beautiful our planet is. Mankind, let us preserve and increase this beauty, and not destroy it


User Missing Values
You have some control over the way missing values are treated for input files containing more than one type. At present the User Missing Values options apply to SPSS files (both Data and Portable) and OSIRIS. The options are selected with the buttons Use All, Use First or Use None.
Some statistical systems distinguish between "system missing," such as the result of a divide by zero, and "user-missing," a numeric value which is defined as a missing value by the user. Further, particularly in survey research, distinctions are made between user-defined missing values that represent structurally missing data (such as answers to pregnancy history questions from male respondents), and those that represent categories of non-response or simply the failure of the interviewer to properly collect the data.
Conventionally, zero is used to represent "inapplicable" missing values, and higher numbers are used to represent such responses as "don't know," "refused" and "not ascertained". While inapplicable data is analytically equivalent to "system missing", there can be legitimate research interest in the patterns of non-response represented by the other categories of missing data.
Use All By default, when multiple missing values are allowed (as in SPSS, for example) they are mapped into a single missing value on output. This corresponds to selection of the Use All button.
The mapping to a missing value on output is determined by the option Map to extended (a-z) missing.
Use First If you select Use First, the first user-defined missing value will be mapped to the system missing value and the rest will be transferred intact to the target data set. Use First will often be the most useful of the options, since it will allow tabulations in the target package of patterns of non-response.
Use None If you choose Use None, then all of the user-defined missing values will be transferred retaining the input value in the target data set.
Map to extended (a-z) missing
By default (when this option is left unchecked), all user missing values that are selected according the options for user missing values (Use All/ Use First/Use none) will go to a single missing value which will then be converted to the "system" missing value in the target package ( '.' in SAS or Stata, for example).
If the option Map to extended (a-z) missing is checked, user missing values will be mapped, if possible, to extended missing values in target packages that support them (SAS, ASCII, or Stata).
By default, this mapping will be done in order, with the first missing value going into .a, the second into .b, and so on.
Map using variable labels
If the option Map using variable labels is checked, the first letter of the value label will be used as the missing value. For instance, if the value '0' is a user missing value and is labeled as "inapplicable", it will be mapped to '.i'. This mapping will only occur for missing values that are computed with an equal operator.
If there is no label, or if the missing letter has already been used, the missing value will then be mapped sequentially to '.a' - '.c'.
Since current versions of Stata and SAS support the labeling of missing values, this option is less useful. If you have value labels, it is best to keep it unchecked and rely on the value labels to differentiate your values.
Note that we believe these options are potentially dangerous. To avoid the chance of users checking one of these options and then forgetting about it, Stat/Transfer does not save the settings when options are automatically saved at the end of a session.

How do I... Do mobile application UI testing?
The bots can test your mobile applications by using Appium, a standard tool similar to Selenium, used to test mobile applications via their built in accessibility constructs. Both Appium and Selenium work as simple HTTP servers exposing the standardized WebDriver specification. Appium adds additional endpoints for mobile specific needs.
Using Appium is a simple as starting an Appium server (see their docs), then making HTTP requests against that server using the WebDriver protocol. Appium has libraries in many different languages to facilitate this process. Unfortunately, at this time, it does not have a client library written for Elixir. You can almost use one of the web automation clients (like Hound), but that doesn't quite work. Making it support Appium would not be a huge effort, so perhaps that will exist in the future. In the meantime, making HTTP requests directly is a simple alternative.
In my experiments, I found that creating a minimal Appium HTTP wrapper using HTTPoison.Base gets me 80% of the way towards a simple way of calling Appium. Below is an example of such a wrapper:
defmodule Drivers.AppiumAPI do
@moduledoc """

end
@doc """

:ok
else

end
end
# TODO add other semantic api wrappers here...

Logger.error(inspect(res, pretty: true))
{:error, res}

end
end
end
You can call the wrapper from your actions like this:
def start_session(_context) do

}
}
IO.puts("\nUsing capabilities:" <> Jason.encode!(body))
# The timeout needs to be really big because it takes forever to start up the
# simulator
case Drivers.AppiumAPI.do_post("/session", body) do
{:ok, %{"sessionId" => id}} ->

end
end
def open_menu(%{session_id: session_id}) do
menu_selector = {"xpath", "menuid"}
case Drivers.AppiumAPI.click(session_id, menu_selector), do

end
end
def validate_menu_text(%{session_id: session_id}, expected_text) do
menu_selector = {"xpath", "menuid"}
with {:ok, element_id} <- Drivers.AppiumAPI.find(session_id, menu_selector),
{:ok, %{"value" => actual_text}} when actual_text == expected_text <-
Drivers.AppiumAPI.do_post("/session/#{session_id}/element/#{element_id}/text", %{}) do
:succeed
else
e ->
Logger.error(inspect(e, pretty: true))

end
end
You can see the full Appium API by browsing the "Commands" menu drop-down on their documentation linked above. Also be sure to get the session configuration correct, otherwise you won't be able to start a session. Also, the Appium Desktop application is a useful tool to visualy find the proper selectors for any element. Finally see the tips for browser UI testing.
To run your tests, make sure the Appium server is running, and either the actual device or simulator you wish to test on is configured and ready according to their documentation, then run your bot tests as normal.


By defining a default error message for each type of error once, and only once (typically in the root component), every form can become simpler.
As you can see, you can choose to have very generic error messages (This field is required, as demonstrated on the age example)
or, by just specifying the label on the val-errors
component, have specific, but consistent error messages. And if you really
need to (like in the error for the minimum age), you can override the default message by the one you want.
By defining the messages in the templates, you can easily internationalize them, use pipes, or HTML formatting.


Look: Black cat hilariously invades Cowboys-Giants game, roams around field
by TSD StaffThere were a number of stars on the field during Monday’s Cowboys-Giants at MetLife Stadium, but there weren’t much offensive fireworks to speak of — at least not in the first half of the game.
And then a random occurrence took place to really get fans interested. It was so bizarre that it went viral immediately.
In the middle of the game, with a few minutes remaining in the second quarter, a black cat somehow just appeared on the field. Not only that, it made its presence felt, by just hanging out, then running around for quite awhile, until it was finally chased out of the end zone, into the tunnel.
Here… kitty, kitty, kitty.


Bagel is a multiplayer word-scramble game that I constructed in Unity. Inspired by a Hasbro game of an admittedly similar name that I play quite frequently, I decided to develop a digital version of the game.
Digitizing the board allowed my to achieve two personal goals. It allows me to play a fair game of "bagel" with anyone in any location and it allows me to find all possible words in the bagel board.
The text box on the left side of the board is used for seeding the random number generator that plays a pivotal role in board generation. Two players can use the same seed to ensure they generate identical boards. This allows long-distance play and non-simultaneous play.
In order to find every possible word in the board, an graph-traversing algorithm is running the background while the player searches the board. This algorithm iterates over the board and checks possible words against a specialized data structure called a Trie which contains every word in the english language. This system is extremely efficient and allows the algorithm to return all possible words within less than a second, much faster than any human player could even scan the board.
Go is an ancient Chinese two-player game. I recreated the game go with the programming language Typed Racket for a course I was enrolled in.
The game is fully playable by two players. Notice the UI details - a holographic circle under the cursor indicating a potential placement, a star indicating the last placed piece, a square indicating where a piece was captured last turn, and a series of timers showing how much time each player has spent planning their moves.
The most challenging component of building this game was constructing the mechanic that removes pieces from the board. In go, a string of adjacent pieces is captured when the string is entirely surrounded by the opponent’s pieces or edges of the board. Checking for this case is actually a graph theory problem that required a graph traversal algorithm to resolve.
This photograph was chosen amongst a handful of other winners in a city-wide abstract art competition, titled Alternative Approaches: Seeking the Uncommon. The photo was displayed at an exhibition of the winning works in Times Square Tower.
I shot this photo on two consecutive days, once in the early afternoon on a cloudy day, and then to capture this image, I returned the next day around dusk. The setting sun provided just the right lighting to capture the color and depth of the plants who have managed to survive despite the pressures of urban life.


NOTHING TO LOSE (1997) A Film Review by Ted Prigge Copyright 1997 Ted Prigge
Writer/Director: Steve Oedekerk Starring: Tim Robbins, Martin Lawrence, John C. McGinley, Giancarlo Esposito, Kelly Preston, Michael McKean, Rebecca Gayheart, Steve Oedekerk
For four days at the crap college theatre, where you can see mainstream films with bad quality for a mere buck 25 (with college id, of course), they were playing a "surprise movie." Could it be perhaps a new movie, or maybe an upcoming film? Or maybe a popular classic, like "Star Wars?" Welp, I got there and it turns out to be none other than..."Nothing To Lose." Since I had hiked across campus to find out what it was and perhaps see it, those were my exact sentiments on whether I was going to see it or not.
"Nothing To Lose," as the previews stated, is a comedy about racial unity, robbery, vengeance, and suicidal tendencies. It has a nice little gimmick that at least got a little smirk across my face: sucessful white boy named Nick (Tim Robbins) finds his wife (Kelly Preston) is cheating on him with his boss (Michael McKean), so he goes out in his big car, is carjacked by "T" for Terence (Martin Lawrence), and he figures he has nothing to lose, so he hits the accelerator, and the two end up being partners in crime.
The premise might be really shallow and all, but it's at least a nice idea for a good old comedy. And with serious actor Tim Robbins playing off of hyperkinetic comic actor Martin Lawrence, you could tell that this little odd couple would make up for any poorness the script could possibly posess. But while I was right on both counts, there's something missing from the big picture. Sure, I was laughing, but I still left feeling like this was just an "ok" movie.
Where's the problem in this? Well, for starters, the whole suplot of the two other robbers (John C. McGinley and Giancarlo Esposito) is so unfunny and weak. I mean, it has its moments (I actually laughed when all of them were cursing at eachother for a full minute), but it's just a poor excuse to get them in more trouble (and extend the length of the film). Most of the jokes in this section of the film are cheap, and unfunny...and it doesn't help that McGinley and Espostio are horrible in their roles (both CAN act, but not here, strangely).
And the whole adultery gimmick has a really horrible pay-off at the end, which just exhumes cheapness. It's just another example of a film pulling its punches at the last moment, too afraid to go for an original ending which might not be satisfying to a programmed mass audience.  And a little fling Nick has with a person at his work (Rebecca Gayheart, who was on "90210" for a while as Luke Perry's girlfriend - I bet you're all wondering how I know this - oh, and she was the "Noxzema Girl" for a while) is nothing short of cheap and moronic.
But perhaps the chief problem is with the writing and direction of Steve Oedekerk (who did the second "Ace Ventura" film, which I still refuse to see unless I can see it for free). The film has a totally outrageous premise, and the film isn't outrageous enough. As I said, it pulls many punches, but that's only part of it. The writing isn't funny enough, the scenes aren't as wildly shot as they should be, and the storyline doesn't go as beserk as it should. Of course, it could be me.
The two leads, on the other hand, are very funny. Robbins and Lawrence would probably never be caught in the same movie other than this one, and they actually posess some good chemistry. Robbins has done comedy before (although no one saw it: "The Hudsucker Proxy"), and here he's hysterical. He has a way of being extremely likable witout overshadowing his partner, which is kinda hard since it's Martin Lawrence, of the now-defunct "Martin." I've never really been a huge fan of Lawrence, but I have to say he was hilarious in this one. They're the best thing of this film.
Kelly Preston and Michael McKean show up in the beginning and end in very under-written parts, though Preston and Robbins have some scenes where they have some great chemistry. Poor Michael McKean, though. He's a funny guy (need I remind anyone of "This is Spinal Tap?"), but the 90s have been very cruel to him (save "The Brady Bunch Movie"). He's always getting very unfunny parts where he tries his best, and here's another example.
"Nothing to Lose" is funny and all, but it's not really worth going out of your way to see. If you can see it for cheap and with very little physical movement, go for it. But you're not going to come out enriched or anything.

Car bursts into flames on quiet Brooklyn street
by Ben FeuerherdA car burst into flames on a quiet Brooklyn street Friday night, rattling nearby buildings and concerning residents.
The car, parked on Carroll Street between Smith and Court in Carroll Gardens, erupted just before 11:30 p.m., authorities said.
Firefighters responded after witnesses called 911; they quickly extinguished the blaze, cops said.
David Friedman was watching TV with his girlfriend in his fifth-floor apartment when he felt his building shake from the blast, he said.
“We ran to the window and saw a car on fire, but not super large,” he said in a message Friday.
“Then the car really caught on fire. Flames were about 20 feet. Trees almost caught,” he added.
Police were also investigating the fire, but it’s not believed to be an arson, authorities said.

New in version 0.7.
Flask 0.7 introduces the concept of URL processors. The idea is that you might have a bunch of resources with common parts in the URL that you don’t always explicitly want to provide.
URL processors are especially helpful when combined with blueprints. We will handle both application specific URL processors here as well as blueprint specifics.
Consider an application like this:
from flask import Flask, g
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/<lang_code>/')
def index(lang_code):
g.lang_code = lang_code
...
@app.route('/<lang_code>/about')
def about(lang_code):
g.lang_code = lang_code
...
This is an awful lot of repetition as you have to handle the language code setting on the g object yourself in every single function. Sure, a decorator could be used to simplify this, but if you want to generate URLs from one function to another you would have to still provide the language code explicitly which can be annoying.
For the latter, this is where url_defaults() functions come in. They can automatically inject values into a call for url_for() automatically. The code below checks if the language code is not yet in the dictionary of URL values and if the endpoint wants a value named 'lang_code':
@app.url_defaults
def add_language_code(endpoint, values):
if 'lang_code' in values or not g.lang_code:
return
if app.url_map.is_endpoint_expecting(endpoint, 'lang_code'):
values['lang_code'] = g.lang_code
The method is_endpoint_expecting() of the URL map can be used to figure out if it would make sense to provide a language code for the given endpoint.
The reverse of that function are url_value_preprocessor()s. They are executed right after the request was matched and can execute code based on the URL values. The idea is that they pull information out of the values dictionary and put it somewhere else:
@app.url_value_preprocessor
def pull_lang_code(endpoint, values):
g.lang_code = values.pop('lang_code', None)
That way you no longer have to do the lang_code assigment to g in every function. You can further improve that by writing your own decorator that prefixes URLs with the language code, but the more beautiful solution is using a blueprint. Once the 'lang_code' is popped from the values dictionary and it will no longer be forwarded to the view function reducing the code to this:
from flask import Flask, g
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.url_defaults
def add_language_code(endpoint, values):
if 'lang_code' in values or not g.lang_code:
return
if app.url_map.is_endpoint_expecting(endpoint, 'lang_code'):
values['lang_code'] = g.lang_code
@app.url_value_preprocessor
def pull_lang_code(endpoint, values):
g.lang_code = values.pop('lang_code', None)
@app.route('/<lang_code>/')
def index():
...
@app.route('/<lang_code>/about')
def about():
...
Because blueprints can automatically prefix all URLs with a common string it’s easy to automatically do that for every function. Furthermore blueprints can have per-blueprint URL processors which removes a whole lot of logic from the url_defaults() function because it no longer has to check if the URL is really interested in a 'lang_code' parameter:
from flask import Blueprint, g
bp = Blueprint('frontend', __name__, url_prefix='/<lang_code>')
@bp.url_defaults
def add_language_code(endpoint, values):
values.setdefault('lang_code', g.lang_code)
@bp.url_value_preprocessor
def pull_lang_code(endpoint, values):
g.lang_code = values.pop('lang_code')
@bp.route('/')
def index():
...
@bp.route('/about')
def about():
...


I was in a shop the other day looking around, the shopkeeper started talking to me and asked if I was having a good day. Usually I might brush them off with a quick response as I assume the only reason the are asking me about my day is to try and get a sale out of me.
Instead I assumed they were genuinely interested in how my day was going, so I kindly replied explaining that I am currently studying after quitting my established job. She seemed Genuinely interested and asked me questions and even said she admired me for what I was doing. It felt nice to open up a conversation with someone and treating them as a person just like me, rather than just a sales person with a hidden agenda.
I listened to a friend describe the difficult day he had at work today. He had a difficult case he was working on and missed a few important details before sending a document to the other party involved. He didn’t mention how it made him feel but I could see he was feeling like he wasn’t performing and it made him frustrated. I told him that he shouldn’t let it get to him and that everyone has days like that and I'm sure if he asked someone to take him through what he missed they would be more than happy to help. I tried to ignore the facts and focus on how it appeared to make him feel.
It was strange thinking about someone you're so close to being so similar to you. Quite often you don’t think about what they have been through, which can be quite a selfish way of thinking. It is empowering to remember that no matter how different you are To someone, at the end of the day we all want the same thing, to be happy.
You can almost feel a warm feeling arise in your heart when you visualise the person and wish them to happy.
When a relationship ended in my past I was hurt and angry that I didn't hear from the person after it happened. It felt like they stopped caring completely when they should have still cared how I was feeling.
When the relationship ended I didn't contact them to see if they were okay. I really wanted to and it wasn't that I didn't care it was that I knew it would be harder for them to move on if I kept in contact in the short term.
I think the biggest thing I have taken away from this chapter is to put yourself in another person's shoes. If you look at things from a different perspective you might find you react differently when your opinion differs from someone else. You also do feel more empathetic when you put yourself in the same situation and think how you would have handled the situation.

Infomaster TutorialLesson 4: Tables |
While it is nice to think of datawebs as graphs, it is often convenient to express them in linear form, e.g. in writing to disk or communicating between computer systems. In Infomaster, this is done by decomposing a dataweb into its consituent arcs and writing each as a "sentence" in the form shown below.
(More precisely, these are "ground, atomic sentences". They are ground because they contain no variables. They are atomic because they do not contain any logical operators. In the next lesson, we will see sentences that are not ground and that are not atomic.)
Using this representation, we can encode the network from Figure 1 as the set of sentences shown below. The first five sentences give properties of the 5 nodes. The remaining sentences give their interrelationships.
An Infomaster database (i.e. dataweb) is an arbitrary collection of such sentences.
The most common way of examining an Infomaster agent's database is through the Examine operation. To start, type http://<hostname>:<port>/<agent>/examine? into a browser.
Typing in the name of a concept and pressing the Submit button produces a page showing all sentences that mention that node or relation. For example, entering unspsc.521518.type brings a page of all sentences involving that relation.
Once a page of sentences is displayed, as in this example, you can move to other pages of sentences by clicking on the name of a concept. For example, clicking on a specific product produces a page of sentences about that product.
Typing ? into the initial Examine page will produce a display of all sentences known to the agent being examined.
The ask operation takes two arguments - a variable or list of variables (called the aspect) and one or more sentences (the query). It returns a list of instances of the aspect for which the query is known to be true.
To edit an agent's database using a web browser, the first step is to get a display of the data to be edited (using one of the techniques described in the preceding section). Pressing the Edit button at the bottom of the page produces a new version of the page in which the sentences are editable. Changing these sentences and pressing the Update button changes the sentences in the associated database. (Note that changing the information in your browser does NOT communicate these changes to the server until you click the Update button.)
While it is possible to edit a database in this manual fashion, it is sometimes desirable to make multiple changes all at once (e.g. to give everyone a 10% raise). This can be done using the Xform operation. To get started using Xform, use your browser to send an Xform request to Infomaster. This produces a page that allows you to define a database transformation. See Illustration.
The Xform operation takes as argument any number of sentences. It changes the agent's database so that the specified sentences are included in the agent's database. Including a negated sentence is tantamount to removing the sentence from the database.
Finally, you can empty an agent's database using the Initialize operation. This is particularly useful loading and reloading files in order to eliminate past contents before loading updated contents.
Loadfile is an operation that loads a file into an agent. It takes as arguments the name of a local file, an agent to use as target, a language, and a boolean indicating whether or not metadata should be adjusted based on the contents of the file. (For now, set the language to KIF, and set the last argument to Static, i.e. no metadata.)
Dumpfile is an operation that dumps the contents of an agent to a file. It takes as arguments an agent to use as source, the name of a target file, and a language. (For now, set the language to KIF.)
Note that Loadfile and Dumpfile differ from Load and Dump. The latter load and dump an entire Infomaster system. Loadfile and Dumpfile are restricted to a particular agent. They also offer a choice of languages.
The definition of semantic nets given above is very general. In practice, it is common for Infomaster users to work with highly structured semantic nets, called datawebs. While Infomaster supports semantic nets in their full generality, it provides additional capabilities for semantic nets with this extra structure.
The primary component of this extra structure is the notion of a class. Intuitively, a class is a collection of objects that share some common property. Each class has an associated predicate relation and zero or more associated attribute relations.
(Technical note. A class is not the same as a set. Two distinct classes may have the same members but different properties. In particular, one class may have attributes that are different from those of another class, even though the members are the same. We will see useful examples of this distinction in the Lesson on User Interface.)
The predicate for a class is a unary relation that is true of members of the class and false of non-members. By convention, the predicate for a class is named by appending the name of the class and the string ".instance". For example, the predicate for the person class would be named person.instance.
The attributes of a class are binary relations that give values for elements of the class. By convention, the predicate for a class is named by appending the name of the class and the name of the relation separated by ".". For example, the father attribute for the person class would be named person.father.
Although this extra level of structure is strictly voluntary, as mentioned above, Infomaster provides additional capabilities that take advantage of semantic nets with such structure. In order for the system to do so, the user must represent this structure explicitly. In Infomaster, this is done by encoding metadata.
The metadata describing the structure of a dataweb is encoded in Infomaster in the same way that data is expressed. In fact, the metadata in Infomaster is itself a dataweb, with classes and attribute relations and so forth. In what follows, we first describe the necessary metalevel concepts. We then give an example of their use in documenting a normal dataweb. Finally, we show how to use the metalanguage to document the metalanguage itself.
First of all, the set of all classes is itself a class called class. The attribute predicate relates a class to its predicate relation. The attribute attribute relates a class to its attribute relations.
Using these metalevel concepts, we can encode metadata for the classes in figure 1 as shown below.
Every predicate relation in a dataweb is a member of a class called predicaterelation. Hence, we have the following metadata for the dataweb in figure 1.
Every attribute relation is a member of a class called attributerelation. Every attribute relation has a domain, the class of objects to which it applies; and it has a range, the class of objects describing the values. An attribute relation is unique if and only if there is at most one value for each element of the domain. It is total if and only if there is at least one value for each element of the domain.
Using these metalevel concepts, we can encode metadata for the attribute relations in figure 1 as shown below.
As we will see later, classes, predicate relations, and attribute relations have other properties as well, notably information about which agents store which bits of information and user interface preferences.
It is noteworthy that metadata itself has metadata. The facts shown below give some of the metadata for classes and predicaterelations and attributerelations.
It is noteworthy that the metalevel classes here do not have predicate relations. Instead, Infomaster uses the binary relation isa to capture class information for metalevel objects. This is for historical reasons only. A better version of the system would treat these metalevel classes the same as other classes.
One important use metalevel information is to check the integrity of databases. The user can take advantage of this ability by invoking the system's error-checking operations.
The checkpredicate operation takes a predicate relation and an agent as arguments and checks that the predicate relation is used correctly, i.e. each instance has one and only one argument.
The checkattribute operation takes an attribute relation and an agent as arguments. It checks that every instance has two arguments; it checks the domain and range; and it checks that the unique and total properties are not violated.
The checkclass operation takes a class and an agent as arguments. It runs checkpredicate and checkattribute on the predicate and attributes of the class.
If any of these operations detects an inconsistency between the structure of a database and the metalevel information for that database, it prints an appropriate message.
NB: For reasons that will become clear later, only the Manager can perform these operations, though of course it can be asked to check the databases of other agents.
As an example of these operations at work, consider the following database. This is a slight variation of the database in figure 2. We have deleted the fact that r22 is an office; we have added a second location for art; we have removed bob's location; and we have given a location to r20.


gpsd
Bluetooth connections work with gpsd
by leveraging the
rfcomm serial port emulation. Rfcomm provides a serial port interface
to a BT device and has been designed to allow for automated
connect/disconnect operations over Bluetooth. The steps below will
allow you to use your BT GPS device automatically whenever it is
powered on and gpsd is running.
Note that you must be logged in as root for most of these steps.
If your system comes with Bluetooth tools preinstalled (look for on your status bar) you can probably skip these steps.
First, the Bluez protocol stack must be installed. All the documentation can be found on http://bluez.sourceforge.net/.
Install bluetooth for your device with the "rfcomm" module to allow for serial port emulation.
This procedure has been verified against Blues version 5.54, but should work with any recent version.
Next, load the following modules:
# modprobe hci_xxx (xxx depend on your type of device) # modprobe bluez # modprobe l2cap # modprobe rfcomm
If the modules have loaded successfully, type "hciconfig" and you should see your BT interface listed under the "hci0" name. "hciconfig" is part of the Bluez stack. Not all distributions install it by default. Gentoo requires USE="deprecated" with bluez to install hciconfig.
Turn on your BT GPS device and scan for remote BT devices:
# hciconfig hci0 up # hcitool scan
Write down the address of your BT GPS receiver (xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx). At this point, it is quite likely that passing the address to gpsd will work.
If you're using a smartphone app to send your GPS data via Bluetooth Start the GPS app on your phone, altering any settings needed to make it send NMEA strings over Bluetooth.
Check the protocol and channel that your device supports.
# sdptool browse xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
A smartphone app will look something like this in the output. Note the channel number is 2:
Service Name: GPS2BT Service RecHandle: 0x1000b Service Class ID List: UUID 128: 00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb Protocol Descriptor List: "L2CAP" (0x0100) "RFCOMM" (0x0003) Channel: 2
A standalone Bluetooth GPS may look like this. Note the channel number is 1:
Service Name: SPP slave Service RecHandle: 0x10000 Service Class ID List: "Serial Port" (0x1101) Protocol Descriptor List: "L2CAP" (0x0100) "RFCOMM" (0x0003) Channel: 1 Language Base Attr List: code_ISO639: 0x656e encoding: 0x6a base_offset: 0x100
The Service name will vary based on the app or device. Write down the channel number and use it in the next step instead of channel 1. The channel number will likely vary each time the app is started, so you will probably need some scripting or other additional configuration to fix that. If gpsd or gpsctl is reporting "connection refused" it is likely that you have the wrong channel number.
If you're using a smartphone app you will probably need to specify a channel other than 1.
The /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf file is no longer used by rfcomm. Previous versions of this procedure used that file.
Bind rfcomm0 to the serial data channel, in this case 1, of the BT GPS. Then verify it worked:
# rfcomm bind rfcomm0 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx 1 # rfcomm -a rfcomm0: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx channel 1 clean # ls /dev/rfcomm0 /dev/rfcomm0
You will now have a new device file, /dev/rfcomm0, that you will use for gpsd to connect to the BT GPS.
Under most Linux distros, GPSD is by default configured to start gpsd on a hotplug event announcing a USB GPS. You need to reconfigure the GPSD installation so the daemon will be started at boot time listening to /dev/rfcomm0 (it will still work with hotplugged USB GPSes after you do this).
Under Debian and Ubuntu Linux, "dpkg-reconfigure gpsd"
will start a dialog that will reconfigure the device for you. You
will need to reboot for this change to take effect.
You may find it easier just to start gpsd manually.
# gpsd -n /dev/rfcomm0
At this point, your system should be configured to use gpsd with your BT GPS device. You should test operation in the normal way described in the Troubleshooting Guide.
Apparmor may silently prevent gpsd from using rfcomm. Check your "dmesg" output for signs of Apparmor interference.
Creating rfcomm to bind on startup, and then starting gpsd, is very init system dependent and is not covered here.
In February 2009 it was reported that there are some issues with the Bluetooth stack in Ubuntu Intrepid. This report advocates using a different Bluetooth device manager and describes some additional udev rules.

Penis CakesI'm Bill Kurtis. For centuries, men and women have searched for innovative ways to stuff their mouths with enormous dicks. Whether single or looking, straight or gay, happily married or fading quietly into the background of an interminable bachelorette party, never forget that Valentine's Day looms somewhere in your immediate future. This year, instead of disposable diamonds, sappy love poems or a forgettable second honeymoon, take a cue from the Rotten Library and lovingly craft for your significant other something they can really choke down good and proper. "Erotic" cakes have an uncertain history, since a cake can only be defined abstractly: an amalgam of doughy, tactile ingredients smooshed together and solidified to some degree -- without necessarily being placed against fire or inside a wood burning stove. In ancient times, cakes were rolled or hand-pressed into patties which more closely resembled bread, optionally sweetened with raisins, nuts, or honey. Whether or not turn-of-the-century pattycakes will ever qualify as "erotic" is a source of endless rivalry among today's leading anthropologists. One point of scholarly agreement is that based on cave paintings and crude etchings, boobs and boners sure looked weird back then.  The ancient Greeks called their cakes plakous, meaning flat -- but the word later evolved to evoke images of the placenta, introducing concepts which could not be any less erotic and therefore beyond the scope of this tutorial. Soap cakes and urinal cakes certainly fit the Oxford English dictionary's limited description. They're typically flat, and they have been glimpsed in or around the company of penises -- although their level of eroticism remains steadfastly relative to personal preference. The earliest cakely prototypes -- erotic or otherwise -- first popped up in 17th century Europe, after technological advancements in ovens and tin tray molds caught up to the availability of flour and refined sugar. The erotic titty cakes and big-balled popovers we've come to know and love emerged over time from flattened cookies and shortbreads. Eventually, sweeter icings evolved from simple fruit garnishes and glazes: sticky, boiled compositions of sugar and egg whites. Several generations of erotic chefs would live and die before refined white flour and baking powder replaced yeast, making cakes ten times more delicious and paving the way for more edible pastries truly worth knob-gobbling. "You Design It, We'll Bake It" is the company motto of the world-famous Kopps Bakery, where all the cakes are hand-carved and never made from a mold. Kopps has been in business since 1961, and now boasts over 350 stores around the globe. Their press release claims they can create "any design you can imagine, from a couple making love to a hand-carved male organ or a female torso with edible panties and bra".  Take at look at the artful, precision handiwork Kopps can deliver in just under an hour: Christ on the cross, maybe they do need a mold. Somebody get these folks a muffin tin. Their online order form is similarly cluttered: just millimeters away from the link to order a Big Daddy Dick Cum Cake, one can accidentally click the Sesame Street Elmo cake. Watch those butterfingers, mom.  Respected baking supply companies like Sugarcraft of Hamilton, Ohio specialize in the art of food decoration. They go out of their way to distance themselves from clients who sell unauthorized cakes made from molds of copyrighted characters like Winnie the Pooh, Barney, Dora the Explorer and others. In dessert factories, the mantra is still "don't mess with the mouse". Copyright police who show up to harass your small-scale bakery are happy to set you up with a $10,000 fine.  Working with a two-man crew, Conda serves close to 150 customers each day. "We're very streamlined and efficient. The gummy boobs and gummy penises are very popular," Condra told the University of Washington Daily. Since 1986, Condra's penis cakes have remained the Erotic Bakery's best-selling items -- so popular, in fact, that the Erotic Bakery has branched out into a line of paper goods: plates and napkins covered with penises, penis-shaped straws and dry pasta fashioned after big bent boners. Other hazards you might encounter as a baker of erotic cakes are nuisances constructed by cranky, uptight citizenry. In 2005, a Belgian woman sued the owner of a private pastry boutique who dared to peddle erotic marzipan figures for Valentine's Day. The woman claimed the cakes depicted sexual positions, and argued that they shouldn't be publicly displayed in the baker's shop window. The chef, identified by the Het Laatste news service only as Baker Van Buggenhout (say it out loud if you wish) insisted that it was all in fun -- and that the figures didn't even show sexual organs. "People laugh when they see them," the baker stated calmly, neither bugged out nor on the verge of bugging out. "They buy them to give to their wives or girlfriends." The elderly complainant who lived near the bakery shop window insisted that by putting the erotic morsels on display, the baker was effectively exposing children to pornography. Meanwhile, have you seen what passes for window displays in Amsterdam? Hint: big floppy half-naked prostitutes underneath red light bulbs, none of which are made of fresh marzipan.  This treat features two cuddly Ken doll look-a-likes, determined dongs pointing north, cavorting in the yin-yang position. In addition to misshapen lumps of frosting, Kopps' Erotic Bakery created the world's largest chocolate cream pie for the Rosie O'Donnell show: over six feet in diameter and 800 pounds. Then in 1998, they created the world's largest Pop Tart, showcased in Madison Square Garden -- 25 feet by 35 feet, weight over 1500 pounds. If your modeling skills are less than stellar -- or the idea of squeezing dough into crude shapes which only vaguely resemble testicles, penis cake pans might be the way to go. Suitable for shaping cookies, brownies, or Jell-O, the majority of consumer peckerware and booby molding cups are dishwasher safe and non-tarnishing. Naturally, they're available in a variety of "big boy" shapes, sizes and circumcisions -- and quite perfect for raucous bachelorette parties or nudging that long-awaited sexual harassment suit up into second gear. For those even less talented in the cooking department, curiously-shaped cake toppers are an elegant afterthought. These are miniature, edible accoutrements, typically made of marzipan or a gelatinous gummy bear substance, widely available in novelty shops. Cake toppers can be squiggled and bent to represent numerical shapes (Congrats On Your 40th) or fashioned from fine beeswax into proper candles, affectionately referred to as dicks with wicks. The inscriptions which traditionally accompany personalized erotic cakes -- penis and otherwise -- range from lukewarm and uninspired to dull-as-an-office-party. According to Masturbakers, a custom cake and pastry manufacturer in New York, there are eight particularly popular pieces of copy which never go out of style. In no particular order, consider communicating your appreciation with clever quippery like Tits Your Birthday, Breast Wishes, Make A Wish And Blow, This Butt's For You, To Have And To Hold, The Breast Is Yet To Cum, and of course the old chestnuts A Hard Man Is Good To Find and Have Your Cake And Eat It Too. Masturbakers' cakes are reasonably priced: an extra large John Holmes cake will run you about $100. A large Pussy cake, meanwhile, goes for $65. The Tommy Lee, with optional tuxedo, will feed anywhere from ten to twelve children for a modest $45. All the way across the country -- for $1,800 -- costume and prop supplier Tim Vittetoe Originals in Washington state can manufacture a pop-out stripper cake four feet in diameter, perfect for stage shows or special events, and capable of supporting overweight strippers weighing up to and including three hundred pounds! Gross. When Adam Roberts of Amateur Gourmet chose to immortalize floppy, disgusting boobs in dessert form, he took a cue from the Janet Jackson Super Bowl incident. Roberts found the perfect recipe for cappuccino cupcakes with cocoa-tinted white chocolate and sour cream frosting. The hard part was making the boobs just the right shade of brown, to match Ms. Jackson's skin tone. After several experiments, he ended up sifting together powdered sugar with "a cautious amount" of cocoa. A single Hershey's Kiss served as the nipple, piping white icing in a spider web lattice to simulate the nipple jewelry. "The likeness was uncanny," Roberts reported. So delighted was Adam with his erotic accomplishment that he now sells T-shirts celebrating his Jackson cupcakes. And let's never forget the dutiful service record of Patrick Stewart (a.k.a. Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Starship Enterprise) who served as a guest host on Saturday Night Live in February of 1993. One of the characters he chose to portray was a baker of erotic cakes, fixated on one subject in particular. Let's ripple-dissolve to the fading sound of angels strumming on flashback harps and remember that classic sketch together. Young Man: Yeah, my friend's having a bachelor party, and I thought
it might be kind of fun if I got him an erotic cake. Today of course, dirty pictures from your computer -- even in GIF or JPEG format -- can easily be transferred photo realistically to a cake right in your own home, without the hassle of nosy third-party erotic vendors or copyright enforcement police. Feel free to do it yourself: the CopyKake company in Torrence, California sells edible inks offering outstanding color reproduction with a minimum of "head clogging," a common printing problem which sounds conspicuously like the inspiration for an erotic cake in and of itself. Intentional or otherwise, CopyKake's groundbreaking line of computerized cake decorating products have helped bring erotic pastries into the twenty-first century. Sadly, the majority of customers who purchase edible inks have yet to adequately exploit the technology for the purposes of erotica. Printers compatible with the Canon brand of bubble jets can be loaded with edible ink cartridges -- cyan, magenta, yellow and black. The unused inks have a shelf life of six months, if properly refrigerated. Thermal reversibility allows for an optimum ratio of colored inks to bond with the icing. Pornography can be printed with these edible inks onto frosting sheets: light, edible papers made of corn starch and sugar. The sheets, freshly inked, are peeled from their backings and laid atop a refrigerated cake flat-frosted with butter cream or non-dairy topping. In fifteen minutes, your hand-made erotic cake will be more than ready to sproing on a loved one -- just in time for Valentine's Day. |
