Seasonal Precipitation
This page will soon show and describe plots of the seasonal precipitation at our stations.
For the moment we are showing monthly total rain in a polar plot with the months arranged clockwise around a circle. The seasonality of the rain fall on Vancouver Island becomes very evident when it is displayed in this way. The largest monthly fraction is written in the bottom left corner. The number of daily totals (observations) is written in the bottom right. The concentric circles, marked with grey numbers, show the fraction of the annual rainfall in percent that each month represents.
In the example from Torquay Elementary School, shown below, you can see that almost all (about 65 %) of the rain occurs in the months of October through January. This is Victoria's rainy season.
Thanks to Natasha Ridenour for developing the software to generate these plots.
Total rain for each station by month is also available.
NOTE: The figure below is not "live" and does not update. It is included by way of example for illustration purposes. Navigate to the station page for the site you are interested in to see an up-to-date figure.

Since Falker Satherhood is one Hallmark card away from becoming the new official name of Father's Day, I thought I'd share how some of you Wreckies celebrated it yesterday.
Lindsay B. did the sensible thing and bought a cake:
While Jan B. and her daughter Ginny made Dad a banner:
Since the original Falker Satherhood cake debuted back in May, though, there are some dissenting opinions on when it should be celebrated. For example, the Big Doofus over at The Big Doofus Blog lists a quick, educational, and completely made-up history of the day as follows:
Dancing goats? Heck yeah! When I was a kid we had two miniature goats as pets, and they were awesome. Why, my mom still has the scars on her shins from little Starbuck's* playful maulings. [getting all misty-eyed] They butt with love, those wee lil' goats: they butt...with love.
*Yes, his name was Starbuck. This was before the coffee shop was popular, though, so the meaning was more along the lines of he was a star at bucking. Or maybe it had something to do with Battlestar Galactica... we ARE a family of geeks, after all.

Though there have been other signs to indicate that the economy is on the upswing, many Americans aren't feeling all that good about how things are going.
The private Conference Board reports that its widely watched consumer confidence index fell to 58.6 in January from 66.7 in December. The index is now the lowest it's been since November 2011.
Conference Board economist Lynn Franco says in a statement that "consumers are more pessimistic about the economic outlook and, in particular, their financial situation. The increase in the payroll tax has undoubtedly dampened consumers' spirits and it may take a while for confidence to rebound and consumers to recover from their initial paycheck shock."
Since consumers buy about 70 percent of all the goods and services that businesses produce, they are critical to the economy's health.

These rules are disclosed to clarify the various responsibilities of all community members here on Pale Moon forum. They shall be adhered to by everyone to ensure that our board runs smoothly and provides a fun and productive experience for all of our community members and visitors.
Post contents
- One of the most important things: Do not make posts that have the sole purpose of stirring things up. It's fine if you disagree with a post or topic, but if you can't make any sort of constructive comment, then please don't reply. This includes finding other topics with a similar subject and posting your opinion there without adding anything to the discussion otherwise. #
- If all you have to say is "I agree" or "me too!", think and consider if it's relevant to the discussion that you voice your support before you make a reply/comment. #
- If a topic is discussed that is "out of your league" in subject matter or depth, then think and consider if it's relevant to the discussion that you contribute to it before you make a reply/comment. This will help keep topics on-track and the discussion in them focused which benefits everybody. #
- Don't start or fuel flame wars. #
This shouldn't have to be a rule, since it's common sense and common netiquette, but here goes:
Only use text formatting to emphasize or clarify parts of your post.
Never, ever, format an entire post in larger/smaller than normal font, bold, italics, or a different color (that won't adapt to different themes).
Also don't try to abuse formatting to hide text or links (looking at you, "SEOers"!) # -
Please mind your language. No excessive swearing or cursing.
Although we will not be policing your use of language, since everyone here is assumed to be of an adult and tolerant mindset, and using swear words here and there is just fine, we will take action if your use of such language is excessive, uncalled-for, or otherwise considered by staff to not be suited for general public digestion. # -
Do not post any information that you want to be kept private. Posts should not contain personal, identifiable information or content embarrassing to yourself or others.
Please keep in mind that all posts (with the exception of limited boards) are also crawled and indexed by search engines and are fully public to the world. # -
This forum focuses first and foremost on support and development of the Pale Moon browser.
Don't post politically, ideologically, religiously or socially sensitive topics on this forum, especially if they revolve around strong, polarized opinions and world views.
This to keep drama and heated tempers to a minimum.
If you want to discuss such topics, please go to dedicated fora for them. # -
Do not make rage-quit topics or other posts that serve no purpose other than "I'm upset with X and leaving".
Making posts that are rants before a rage-quit really don't serve any purpose and will not help others to find solutions to current issues, do not add anything to existing discussions, are pointless as new topics, and in fact interferes with trying to provide support to other users of software this forum supports.
We understand if you are upset or unhappy for whatever reason and that it prompts you to leave the browser (and inherently the forum as well) behind, but just posting something inflammatory, heated or otherwise upset posts because of your state of mind is still just as much against the forum rules as posting inflammatory material otherwise. Unfortunately this has now become a forum rule since just requesting this courtesy from users is apparently not sufficient any more.
To be clear: this is just about common etiquette, and has nothing to do with "switching to Firefox" or hatred towards any particular other browser.
As an exception to the normal 3-strike rule applied to user accounts, such posts/topics are subject to immediate banning of your account, and likely deletion of your posts or topics. #
Stay on topic
- Stay on topic in your posts. Many people use fora for knowledge gathering as well as social interactions. Forum posts and threads can be read by hundreds or thousands of users, and as such it's important to read the topic of a particular discussion and keep your posts related to that topic. #
- If you want to make a remark in a thread that is off-topic, then please use the [ offtopic ] forum tags. #
- Please don't try to call attention to a different thread on the forum in a thread comment. If you want more attention to a thread, then post in that thread! It will automatically be bumped if it's been long enough since the last post. #
When you post a reply to a thread (e.g. after searching) please check the age of the thread.
If the last activity in the thread was more than a few months ago, you are likely replying to a topic that has already been concluded, of which the participants are no longer active, or to a topic that is, in fact, not exactly what you are wanting to write about or only sideways related (replying to old and inactive threads is so-called necro-posting: the thread's discussion is pretty much dead).
If you can't find an active thread about your exact topic, please make a new topic, since old discussions about something more-or-less related is likely not relevant to the topic you're wanting to discuss. You can always link to the thread you found, of course, for reference if you think it's actually important to point to what was previously discussed. #
Don't quote entire previous posts. We can't stress this enough. Please only lift out relevant sentences.
A tip here: Hit "reply" first, and in the message composition window, highlight the text you want quoted from the listed previous message(s), and then hit the "quote" button on that message. This will only quote what you highlighted, and automatically state the person you are quoting. #
Don't quote entire previous posts. We can't stress this enough. Please only lift out relevant sentences.
Please don't create more than one user account. Only one account per person!
Regardless of what reason you may think you have to create multiple accounts, doing so as a single person runs the risk of all those accounts being closed. # -
If you have been (temporarily or permanently) banned, do not create "alt" accounts to circumvent your ban or cool-down period. If you wish to discuss your user state on this forum, e-mail staff about it using the general forum e-mail address.
If you have had your account previously deleted (either through idle purge, by request or through administrative action), you may only re-register using the same name.
Any posts made on "alt" accounts for banned users are subject to being removed and completely ignored by staff and/or the developers. # -
From time to time, we may purge accounts of inactive users. We will normally make an announcement when such a purge is about to happen, and usually idle purges are performed on user accounts that have seen more than a year of inactivity (have not logged in). You are not required to make any posts to keep your account active, but you do need to log in using your username and password to prevent being purged.
We do these purges for a few reasons, chiefly among which:
- To keep database sizes under control, and keep the forum running efficiently
- To prevent personal information that is not in use by active users from being unnecessarily stored on our server
- To prevent identity theft if your e-mail address is compromised
Please do not use temporary/disposable e-mail addresses to register on this forum. It's not allowed and if brought to our attention the account will be disabled without warning.
This is to protect both us and you!
Please understand:
- We will never spam you. We hate spam.
- We will never sell or disclose your e-mail address. (The only exception is disclosure for lawful investigation by the authorities re: abuse/criminal activities)
- Using a disposable e-mail address makes your account (and in turn our forum) vulnerable to being abused by random people. After all, these e-mail addresses have no verification or login.
- Using a disposable e-mail address makes our forum vulnerable to potential abuse from third parties (including forum spammers) that learn of your disposable e-mail address by you submitting it to them.
- A personal e-mail is the only way to properly verify your identity or recover your account in case of trouble.
Some people use what is called "sender verification" which is a challenge sent to the sender of e-mail from a previously unknown e-mail address, requiring a sender's action for the e-mail to be delivered, supposedly to "prevent spam" in their inbox. Please do not use this. It's a terrible idea. Read here for more details.
This will never work for the forum. E-mail sent to you as-required to activate your account cannot be manually verified by forum staff, and as a result you will never be able to complete your registration or participate in the forum discussions. # -
When you register, pick your username carefully. You will not be able to change it after registration. Make it something unique for you and something you would like to be called by for a long time. This will be your community identity.
Additionally:- Do not use overly vulgar, obscene, purposefully insulting or deliberately offensive usernames.
- Do not use overly generic or anonymous usernames (e.g. "user55", "palemoon_user", "forumaccount", "nobody99" or obvious variations in lettering or other languages)
- Do not use a username with the intent to impersonate anyone or suggest official representation of a brand or product while not being an official representative.
Staff reserves the right to assign a different username at their discretion if the username is deemed unacceptable. #
Please don't create more than one user account. Only one account per person!
Prevent double posts
- Search before posting. It's quite possible that your question has already been answered either in other threads on the forum or on the website. the F.A.Q. section is there for a reason too. Use other resources as well like the MozillaZine Knowledge Base or Firefox Support, or your favourite search engine. #
Use a meaningful topic title when you make a new post. Be descriptive and concise.
This will help people searching for your topic to find existing threads and keeps search results relevant.
Examples of bad topic titles: "Pale Moon 26" or "Videos" or "TWITCH"
Examples of good topic titles: "Problems loading example.com in Pale Moon 26" or "Videos on example.com have no sound" # -
Use the correct board for your posts. Pick the forum board that most closely matches the question or feedback topic you want to post about.
If you are not sure, then please look over all available boards before you make a post. If all else fails, a good generic area for support is "Browser Support" and dedicated sub boards, and a good generic board for non-support topics is "General Discussion". # - Please be patient. You may not get an answer immediately, and if you are new to this forum, do not re-post if the post isn't moderated and approved within a few hours (it will not show up until this is done). This forum is run by volunteers, and we have to take care of other things like work and sleep as well. #
Please keep the size of your signatures reasonable.
If using text, try to restrict yourself to no more than 5-7 lines of text with normal font size. # -
Keep your signatures acceptable for the general public.
Anything rated over PG-13 or at the very most M is generally not considered acceptable. When in doubt, ask staff first. # -
If using images, keep your image sizes reasonable (preferably less than 500px wide, less than 150px high).
Do not use strongly animated or rapidly flashing images, pseudo-video "gifs" or images that have an unreasonably large file size.
Images in signatures should be for the sole purpose of providing a signature image. Do not use signatures as an image board. # -
Where possible, please make sure to host your images on SSL-capable image hosting services or SSL-capable servers.
(i.e., make sure your image URLs start with https://)
This way, the overall page security of posts and threads on the forum is not compromised for visitors.
Signature images and post smilies hosted on http:// links may be removed by staff for this reason. #
Please keep the size of your signatures reasonable.
Don't provide a link without an explanation what it links to.
If you provide a link to an external site, provide a brief description of the site and how it is relevant to the discussion at hand. # - Don't try to use the forum to promote your service or business or "improve SEO". That will get you banned without warning. #
Don't "clickbait" (meaning misrepresenting a link or product for the purpose of tricking people into clicking on it).
Purposefully creating misleading links in posts is considered a serious offense here. Just don't do it. Not even as a joke. #
Don't provide a link without an explanation what it links to.
In closing
This is not a democracy. You are in our house, and you are a guest.
Please behave yourself accordingly. #
This is not a democracy. You are in our house, and you are a guest.

Wrecktastic Pumpkin Parade
Friday, October 24, 2008
Is this a pumpkin, Jacob L., or breakfast? I'm seeing scrambled eggs and a spotty banana here. And a rat with wings. But let's just ignore him and hope he goes away.
This looks like it was made from upholstery foam and melting plastic, although Lauren D. assures me it was tasty upholstery foam and plastic. So, you know, it's got that going for it.
Shannon B. found this one. Not only is it a seriously wonky pumpkin with drippy mold issues, it's also being served on a platter of earthworms. Eeewwww. (Also, what is that thing behind it? A giant yo-yo?)
Then there's the half-pumpkin-wheel with telephone-cord-tailed mice:
Very, er, curly, Melody P. Yeah, that's it: curly.
And lastly, Leilani S. shows us how Krispy Kreme is getting into the spirit of things:
Wow, those pumpkin donuts almost look too good to be true, don't they?
Ah, right: that must be because they are:
122 comments | Post a Comment
Aww I thought the Krispy Kreme pumpkins were quite cute and was all set to tell the boss I'm running to get us some donuts then you ruined my happy ending with that last pic.
Not your fault I know but I'm totally passively-aggressively taking it out on you that I have a donut craving now. :P - October 24, 2008 at 9:23 AM
- The Courteous Chihuahua said...
So funny!!!
Picture #4....looks like those mice got the poo scared out when that giant pumpkin landed on them. - October 24, 2008 at 9:23 AM
- HorribleLicensePlates said...
Is that second cake a twinkie cake? That sounds good right about now.
- October 24, 2008 at 9:25 AM
- Wonderful World of Weiners said...
Why does NOTHING look as good in person as it appears to in an advertisement?
Hallie :)

- spartangogreengal said...
wow- nothing like some false advertising. And haven't any of those wreck creators ever SEEN an actual pumpkin in their lives before?? I mean COME ON!! Just COME ON!!(a la "jimmy" from south park)
- October 24, 2008 at 9:27 AM
The last cake isn't true.
I refuse to believe it.
I absolutely refuse to believe it.
You just put it there to make me squeal, it's just photoshopped, not real.
I know I'm right. - October 24, 2008 at 9:28 AM
I got the Krispy Kreme pumpkin donut at my local store and it was exactly the same as in the picture - and delicious of course - so it must have been bring-a-3-year-old-to-work-day at the store that made this one
- October 24, 2008 at 9:28 AM
- Kitty said...
Those doughnuts are never worth it anyway!! Is that second cake made completely out of lady finger cookies sprayed orange? That's what it looks like to me!
- October 24, 2008 at 9:29 AM
- Boozy Tooth said...
My favorite has to be the truncated half log pumpkin cake with overcooked green vermicelli icing. It doesn't get more appetizing (or authentic!) than that.
- October 24, 2008 at 9:30 AM
- Jackie said...
I think cake makers feel they get a free pass to make the most horrendous creations just because it's Hallowe'en. The cakes are supposed to be scary and gross - but I think they take that brief a little *too* literally!
That pumpkin cake that looks of foam cushioning looks like it's about to collapse from all the mucky green goo on top. Icing never looked so vomit-inducing. - October 24, 2008 at 9:31 AM
- Lisa Deon said...
Fabulous! That's all I have to say.
- October 24, 2008 at 9:32 AM
- Tisha said...
That Krispy Kreme "pumpkin" made me laugh out loud. LOL!!! That's hysterical.
- October 24, 2008 at 9:34 AM
- Marianne said...
I have to go to KK to get one of those doughnuts now. Hopefully it won't look like that.
- October 24, 2008 at 9:36 AM
- Amanda said...
Are those twinkies on the second cake!? Spray painted orange?!
And why on earth are mice on the oddly shaped half pumpkin wheel??
And...the doughnut...is sad. - October 24, 2008 at 9:37 AM
I don't think the first one is bad.
- October 24, 2008 at 9:38 AM
- Katy said...
I'm confused...
why does the mouth/banana in the first photo have eyes?! - October 24, 2008 at 9:39 AM
- mooP said...
On the third photo, the strange cake in the background, my first thought when I saw it was that it was a giant clam! A giant yellow clam! :)
- October 24, 2008 at 9:40 AM
- Shannon said...
Man I saw the Krispy Kreme ads for the pumpkin doughnuts and i seriously wanted one. Not anymore. Thanks for saving me from that disaster.
- October 24, 2008 at 9:41 AM
Hey! Why can't I see the pictures?? I haven't been able to for three whole days!
[Storms off and rolls around on the floor throwing a tantrum.] - October 24, 2008 at 9:47 AM
But seriously. What is that second one made out of? ladyfingers dipped in cheeto dust? Spray insulation?
Also the "avantgarde" bakery punkin with mold issues has also apparently been "pooped on" in place of a stem. - October 24, 2008 at 9:48 AM
I'm going to give a pass to the donut because if Krispy Kreme is anything like Tim Hortons, their bakers are not trained in decorating or hired because of artistic skills.
I used to bake at a Tim Hortons, and I was a good baker, but when it came to donuts and cakes and cookies that had to be decorated with faces or something fancy (which happened very rarely, maybe twice a year), I was hopeless. I tried my darndest, but often it's next to impossible to make something look as good as it does in advertisements. - October 24, 2008 at 9:49 AM

Every pumpkin does indeed have a face of it's own :) Amazing.
Actually, it almost inspires me to decorate a pumpkin cake for my family! - October 24, 2008 at 9:50 AM

I am at the beginning stages of starting my own cake business and this is great. I love this sight as a how to guide for me not to mess up and end up on here but i reassure you i will send you all my messups lol. You had me laughing for hours while my husband looked at me shaking his head!
- October 24, 2008 at 9:50 AM
At first glance, that 4th pumpkin looks like it has actually landed on the mice like the house in Wizard of Oz. The little mice look trapped under the curliest pumpkin that ever grew.

I refuse to believe that the cakes in the third picture are actually for sale. You can't just throw icing on some cake, call it decorating, and expect people to buy it. It's called a spatula- for the love of Mike, please use it to smooth the icing out!

That first one looks a little like Jack-O went Geek Squad or something!

I love the pumpkin donuts. Very sad interpretation of what it is supposed to look like. But, I am pretty sure that's what you are going to get when you go to the store. They wont look anything like the advertisement!
- October 24, 2008 at 10:17 AM
'k, I just have 2 things to say.
The first pumpkin, that thing at the top looks sort of like a silhouetted hamster in a pile of greens. Which would actually be cuter than the cake is otherwise. (Come on, work with me... ears at the top right, paws up to the left...)
Second pumpkin: Maybe black airbrush on something that's supposed to be a vegetable is not the best plan. That stuff totally looks like mold.
P.S. I am totally loving my CAPTCHA this morning. "morkpron." Morkpron! Morkpron! I don't know what it means but it sounds funny. (And the first garment I ever bought myself was a T-shirt with a picture of Mork on it... Mork pron? Er, no.) - October 24, 2008 at 10:20 AM

Cake #1 is awful. It looks like a cackling escapee from the mental ward.
It took me a moment to realize that the foam cake did NOT have mold growing on the side, and #3 just looks weird. - October 24, 2008 at 10:29 AM
- Alicia said...
That second one looks like it's made from Twinkies... which is pretty much the same thing as upholstery foam. Gross.
- October 24, 2008 at 10:29 AM
Ha ha! The actual pumpkin Krispy Kreme looks embarrassed to be so far from the advertisement. Love the phone-cord mice, if they were real animals they would probably be popular pets.

Ugh. It's like all the cake decorators are trying to terry you this year. I want one of those cakes for my Halloween party:
"I dare you to eat the earthworms."
"Ewww! Only if you eat this mouse---curly tail and all!"
"Blegh. Dare's off."

I'm baffled by the decorators who think that "mold-on-a-pumpkin" is a good look. Cake #2 (although it possesses a pleasant, scalloped shape) looks as though it's LEAKING fuzzy mold.
The doughnut makes me laugh. Somebody's grumpy! - October 24, 2008 at 10:37 AM

Ah Wrecktastic Halloween!! I can't wait to see some more! I was in an Ontario Wal-Mart the other day and was SO upset I didn't have my camerea. Not only was it Frankenstein but it was a CCC!!!!

Kara aka Bakermum - October 24, 2008 at 10:37 AM
#1 What's with the eyes...in his mouth??
#2 A moldy Twinkie cake stuffed with seafood salad(?). And don't even ask me what's going on up top.
#3 While you're looking at the earthworms and the giant lemon yo-yo thing in back (which looks tasty, actually), I'm fixating on that enormous coiled turd sitting on top.
#4 Again with the coils. Either those mice have been stepped on, or their suffering some major intestinal issues.
Probably from eating that cake. - October 24, 2008 at 10:39 AM

Every day, thousands of mice are involved in easily preventable curling iron accidents. Please, won't you give generously to the telephone-cord tailed mouse fund?
Honestly my first thought was "Oh those poor mice...did they eat too many greens or are those meant to be tails?" Probably just the rodent lover in me overreacting.
All the cakes are remarkably wrecktastic. My favorite though is the Krispy Kreme donut because my daughters and I just had a lengthy discussion about how things never look as good as they do on the packaging - as evidenced by last night's abysmal tv dinners. - October 24, 2008 at 10:51 AM
so funny! Just found your site and I'm loving it! Those pumpkin "cakes" (using the term loosly here) are hideous! I hope they tasted better than they looked - if someone was brave enought eat them. :)

Cupcakes in dog shape, can it get any better? :-D - October 24, 2008 at 11:06 AM
All I could think of when I saw the first pumpkin, was the nerdy kid with oversize plastic glasses and braces on his teeth. You know the kid..he's now a multi-millionaire and you wish you'd have been nicer to him.:o)

I had the same issue 3 days ago. But if I click on the title of that days blog (i.e. 'wrecktastic pumpkin parade) on double click where the photo was supposed to be, they suddenly appeared. I haven't had a problem since. I thought I'd pass that on because it's just not the same without the photos. Hope it helps! - October 24, 2008 at 12:44 PM
- Alford said...
Well, maybe the decorator of the first cake knew that a unibrow is one of the sure signs of a werewolf. I'm guessing that was just a super smart cake decorator getting the most Halloween bang for your buck.

My friend got the pumpkin Krispi Kreme the other day, it looked just like the pic, but it was empty inside! LAME! Everybody knows if you have a solid (sans hole) donut, it must be filled with yummy goodness.
- October 24, 2008 at 2:00 PM
Oooh, I bet I know why it's a "variety pack"! It's a CCC! That would explain why it is NOT ROUND! ('Cause, you know, I very much doubt that the supermarket baker trimmed a round cake into that less-regular shape for artistic effect.) And you see, there are a variety of different flavors of cupcake under there.
It does not explain the eyes in its mouth though. For that, there is no explanation. - October 24, 2008 at 2:04 PM

You forgot about the pile of dog poo on top of the third example. That's a pretty unappetizing "pumpkin stem."

Wow, I actually think #3 is a totally appropriate Halloween cake. It's just gross enough without being a complete failure.
I wanted to take a photo of a pumpkin cupcake wreck at the grocery store yesterday, but I didn't have my camera, and it seemed a bit too cliche. You know, the kind of thing that is too common to be "wrecktastic", no matter how "wrecked" it is. But still, it was really sloppy. Cupcakes peeking out all around, some only half frosted.... Sheesh. - October 24, 2008 at 7:28 PM

Hey, this is Cake Wrecks! Not Donut Wrecks. Don't ruin it for me...my favorite thing in the whole wide world that I would cheat on my diet is a BOX full of good donuts.

It's more than a little alarming that several of the pumpkin tops look like perfectly swirled poops.
Come to think of it, when is brown icing ever a good idea? I have to think most cakes with brown coloring don't look very appetizing.

oh good god... i'm not even a cake decorator and i could do a better job of those doughnuts.... whoever did those ought to be shot!
- October 25, 2008 at 10:56 AM
I took the shot for #3. I also thought it looked a little poopy on top. I just thought it was gross. I wanted to mention I think the 'clam' in the back was actually a really poor attempt to make a full sized cake look like a cupcake. I know, weird, but not as weird as the cake in the back left corner of shot. The cake decorators at the grocery store have gone on this day-glo kick and are making all these cakes in clashing neon colors with thick piped icing... ugh.
- October 25, 2008 at 11:55 AM

Ok... I just need to mention the fact that Pumkin #1 looks like it ate someone. See the eyes peeking out of the mouth? Very scary, indeed.
And, who pooped on top of Pumpkin #3? Is it just me, or is that a big turd? - October 25, 2008 at 5:10 PM
I'm a doughnut fryer--BTW outside of the lovely sugary world of Krispy Kreme, doughnut frying=working graveyard shift.
My first thought upon looking at those pumpkins was "Oh dear holy god what sadistic manager decided that would be a good idea?"
...and I fry doughnuts so I can be an artist in my "real" life. - October 27, 2008 at 12:03 PM
Actually, the one looks like a Twinkie cake, not upholstery foam....and that makes it extra delicious! Actually, they may have started some horrible new trend...cupcake cakes weren't enough, now it's Twinkie cakes!!!
- October 27, 2008 at 12:43 PM
The Krispy Kreme ones are good!! I've gotten them a few times over the past few years, and they've always looked like the picture. There's some sort of stamp that they use at mine. Don't get discouraged!
- October 28, 2008 at 11:00 PM
I don't think that last picture is a Krispy Kreme. The ones they have in the Krispy Kreme stores look exactly like they do in the advertisement. Someone was just fooling around with the last one, I think.

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Where's the book?
We don't have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it's cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.

Configure Virtual Hosts
Apache makes it easy to have multiple websites or web applications running on the same physical server, and access each using a custom domain name. This is known as virtual hosting, and each virtual host can be mapped to a different subdirectory of the server.
This feature is especially useful in development scenarios, as it allows developers to isolate and access different applications using unique domain names. For example, the domains http://app01.localhost and http://app02.localhost could point to two separate applications on the same server. Or, you could create separate domains, such as http://client1/, http://client2/ and so on, for multiple client websites hosted on the same server.
Virtual hosts created in this manner will not be accessible from other systems, unless those systems are separately configured to associate the custom domain used by the virtual host with the IP address of the XAMPP server. This guide walks you through the process of setting up a new virtual host with XAMPP, by creating and configuring an example host named wordpress.localhost for a WordPress installation. It assumes that you have an existing WordPress installation at C:\xampp\apps\wordpress\htdocs\ and accessible via the URL http://localhost/wordpress. |
You can install WordPress with just a few clicks using the Bitnami WordPress Module for XAMPP. |
Follow the steps below to create a virtual host:
Change to your XAMPP installation directory (typically, C:\xampp) and open the httpd-vhosts.conf file in the apache\conf\extra\ subdirectory using your favourite text editor.
Replace the contents of this file with the following directives:
<VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/" ServerName localhost </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/apps/wordpress/htdocs" ServerName wordpress.localhost </VirtualHost>
This contains two virtual host configuration blocks:
The first block is the default or fallback virtual host, which is used for all requests that are not matched by subsequent blocks.
The second block sets up a virtual host named wordpress.localhost. The DocumentRoot directive specifies the directory to be used when serving requests for this virtual host (in this case, the WordPress installation directory), while the ServerName directive specifies the custom domain name for the virtual host.
To add more virtual hosts, simply duplicate the second virtual host block and modify the port number, DocumentRoot and ServerName directives as per your requirements. For example, if you want to use SSL with your custom domain name, you can add a new virtual host block for port 443.
If you plan to have a large number of virtual hosts with very similar configuration, consider using wildcard-based subdomains with your virtual hosts. -
Restart Apache using the XAMPP control panel for your changes to take effect.
At this point, your virtual host is configured. However, if you try browsing to the wordpress.localhost domain, your browser will show a failure notice, since this domain does not exist in reality. To resolve this, it is necessary to map the custom domain to the local IP address. To do this, open the file C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and add the following line to it:
127.0.0.1 wordpress.localhost
This takes care of mapping the wordpress.localhost domain name to the local machine, which always has the IP address 127.0.0.1.
On some versions of Windows, you will not be able to edit the C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file without administrator privileges. You can edit the file by right-clicking the Notepad icon and selected the "Run as administrator" menu option, then entering administrator credentials (if required) and clicking "OK" or "Yes" to proceed. |
At this point, you should be able to enter the URL http://wordpress.localhost in your browser's address bar and see your WordPress installation. Here's an example of what you should see:

When the American Psychiatric Association releases its new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders -- DSM-5 -- this weekend, lots of journalists and commentators will refer to it as "psychiatry's bible."
That's a term that makes the manual's authors and other mental experts cringe.
"Bible implies that it's been handed down by some deity as the absolute truth," says Michael First, a psychiatrist at Columbia University who's had a hand in the past two revisions of the DSM. "We don't consider this to be a bible. It's a guidebook."
Dr. Thomas Insel, director of the National Institute of Mental Health, also wants people to know the DSM isn't some sacred text. "It's a dictionary, not a bible," he says.
The DSM has taken on biblical proportions over the years because its list of several hundred disorders is often used to decide whether a particular behavior is abnormal and insurance will cover a problem. DSM-5, for example, has provoked lots of debate about new diagnoses like Binge Eating Disorder or Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder in children.
But insurance coverage and defining what's normal are not why the DSM was created. It was created to solve a communication problem.
Before DSM-III came along in 1980, "It was really chaotic," Insel says. "We had no common language" for describing mental disorders. The new manual provided clear definitions for the first time, he says, so that "when one person says major depressive disorder another person will know what that is."
Revisions since then have updated those definitions and added or eliminated diagnoses based on the latest research, First says. "The DSM is a synthesis of the best knowledge at this moment in time," he says. "So DSM-5 is the culmination of research in the past 20 years."
That makes the DSM "a tool used by clinicians to take care of patients," not a bible, First says.
Insel adds that the DSM only becomes a problem when mental health professionals forget that and start "looking at the manual instead of listening to their patients. That's never a good outcome."

How Wisconsin Could Turn Austerity into Prosperity: Own a Bank
An answer to state budget woes that doesn't need to involve sacrificing workers' rights.
posted Mar 05, 2011
As states struggle to meet their budgets, public pensions are on the chopping block, but they needn't be. States can keep their pension funds intact while leveraging them into many times their worth in loans, just as Wall Street banks do. They can do this by forming their own public banks, following the lead of North Dakota—a state that currently has a budget surplus.
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, whose recently proposed bill to gut benefits, wages, and bargaining rights for unionized public workers inspired weeks of protests in Madison, has justified the move as necessary for balancing the state's budget. But is it?
After three weeks of demonstrations in Wisconsin, protesters report no plans to back down. Fourteen Wisconsin Democratic lawmakers—who left the state so that a quorum to vote on the bill could not be reached—said Friday that they are not deterred by threats of possible arrest and of 1,500 layoffs if they don't return to work. President Obama has charged Wisconsin's Governor Scott Walker with attempting to bust the unions. But Walker's defense is:
"We're broke. Like nearly every state across the country, we don't have any more money."
Broke Unless You Count the $67 Billion Pension Fund . . .
That's what he says, but according to Wisconsin's 2010 CAFR (Comprehensive Annual Financial Report) [pdf], the state has $67 billion in pension and other employee benefit trust funds, invested mainly in stocks and debt securities drawing a modest return.
A recent study by the Pew Center for the States showed that Wisconsin's pension fund is almost fully funded, meaning it can meet its commitments for years to come without drawing on outside sources. It requires a contribution of only $645 million annually to meet pension payouts. Zach Carter, writing in the Huffington Post, notes that the pension program could save another $195 million annually just by cutting out its Wall Street investment managers and managing the funds in-house.
The governor is evidently eying the state's pension fund, not because the state cannot afford the pension program, but because he sees it as a potential source of revenue for programs that are not fully funded. This tactic, however, is not going down well with state employees.
Fortunately, there is another alternative. Wisconsin could draw down the fund by the small amount needed to meet pension obligations, and put the bulk of the remaining money to work creating jobs, helping local businesses, and increasing tax revenues for the state. It could do this by forming its own bank, following the lead of North Dakota, the only state to have its own bank—and the only state to escape the credit crisis.
This could be done without spending the pension fund money or lending it. The funds would just be shifted from one form of investment to another (equity in a bank). When a bank makes a loan, neither the bank's own capital nor its customers' demand deposits are actually lent to borrowers. As observed on the Dallas Federal Reserve's website, "Banks actually create money when they lend it." They simply extend accounting-entry bank credit, which is extinguished when the loan is repaid. Creating this sort of credit-money is a privilege available only to banks—but states can tap into that privilege by owning a bank.
How North Dakota Escaped the Credit Crunch
The state-owned Bank of North Dakota (BND) has allowed North Dakota to maintain its economic sovereignty, a conservative states-rights ideal. The BND was established in 1919 in response to a wave of farm foreclosures by out-of-state Wall Street banks. Today, the state not only has no debt, but it recently boasted its largest-ever budget surplus. The BND helps to fund not only local government but local businesses and local banks, by partnering with the banks to provide the funds to support small business lending.
The BND is also a boon to the state treasury, having contributed over $300 million to state coffers in the past decade, a notable achievement for a state with a population less than one-tenth the size of Los Angeles County. In 2008, the BND returned a 26 percent dividend to the state. In comparison, California's public pension funds are down more than $100 billion—that's billion with a "b"—or close to half the funds' holdings, following the Wall Street debacle of 2008. It was, in fact, the 2008 bank collapse rather than overpaid public employees that caused the crisis that shrank state revenues and prompted the budget cuts in the first place.
Seven States Are Now Considering Setting Up Public Banks
Faced with federal inaction and growing local budget crises, an increasing number of states are exploring the possibility of setting up their own state-owned banks, following the North Dakota model. On January 11, 2011, a bill to establish a state-owned bank was introduced in the Oregon State legislature; on January 13, a similar bill was introduced in Washington State; on January 20, a bill for a state bank was filed in Massachusetts (following a 2010 bill that had lapsed); and on February 4, a bill was introduced in the Maryland legislature for a feasibility study looking into the possibilities. They join Illinois, Virginia, and Hawaii, which introduced similar bills in 2010, bringing the total number of states with such bills to seven.
If Governor Walker wanted to explore this possibility for his state, he could drop in on the Center for State Innovation (CSI), which is located down the street in his capital city of Madison, Wisconsin. The CSI has done detailed cost/benefit analyses of the Oregon and Washington state bank initiatives, which show substantial projected benefits based on the BND precedent. See reports here and here.
For Washington State, with an economy not much larger than Wisconsin's, the CSI report estimates that after an initial start-up period, establishing a state-owned bank would create new or retained jobs of between 7,400 and 10,700 a year at small businesses alone, while at the same time returning a profit to the state.
A Bank of Wisconsin Could Generate "Bank Credit" Many Times the Size of the Budget Deficit
Economists looking at the CSI reports have called their conclusions conservative. The CSI made its projections without relying on state pension funds for bank capital, although it acknowledged that this could be a potential source of capitalization.
If the Bank of Wisconsin were to use state pension funds, it could have a capitalization of more than $57 billion—nearly as large as that of Goldman Sachs. At an 8 percent capital requirement, $8 in capital can support $100 in loans, or a potential lending capacity of over $500 billion. The bank would need deposits to clear the checks, but the credit-generating potential could still be huge.
Banks can create all the bank credit they want, limitedonly by (a) the availability of creditworthy borrowers, (b) the lending limits imposed by bank capital requirements, and (c) the availability of "liquidity" to clear outgoing checks. Liquidity can be acquired either from the deposits of the bank's own customers or by borrowing from other banks or the money market. If borrowed, the cost of funds is a factor; but at today's very low Fed funds rate of 0.2 percent, that cost is minimal. Again, however, only banks can tap into these very low rates. States are reduced to borrowing at about 5 percent—unless they own their own banks, or, better yet, unless they are banks. The BND is set up as "North Dakota doing business as the Bank of North Dakota."
That means that technically, all of North Dakota's assets are the assets of the bank. The BND also has its deposit needs covered. It has a massive deposit base, since all of the state's revenues are deposited in the bank by law. The bank also takes other deposits, but the bulk of its deposits are government funds. The BND is careful not to compete with local banks for consumer deposits, which account for less than 2 percent of the total. The BND reports that it has deposits of $2.7 billion and outstanding loans of $2.6 billion. With a population of 647,000, that works out to about $4,000 per capita in deposits, backing roughly the same amount in loans.
Wisconsin has a population that is nine times the size of North Dakota's. Other factors being equal, Wisconsin might be able to amass over $24 billion in deposits and generate an equivalent sum in loans—over six times the deficit complained of by the state's governor. That lending capacity could be used for many purposes, depending on the will of the legislature and state law. Possibilities include (a) partnering with local banks, as in the North Dakota model, strengthening their capital bases to allow credit to flow to small businesses and homeowners, where it is sorely needed today; (b) funding infrastructure virtually interest-free (since the state would own the bank and would get back any interest paid out); and (c) refinancing state deficits nearly interest-free.
Why Give Wisconsin's Enormous Credit-generating Power Away?
The budget woes of Wisconsin and other states were caused not by overspending on employee benefits, but by a credit crisis on Wall Street. The "cure" is to get credit flowing again in the local economy, and this can be done by using state assets to capitalize state-owned banks.
Against the modest cost of establishing a publicly owned bank, state legislators need to weigh the much greater costs of the alternatives—slashing essential public services, laying off workers, raising taxes on constituents who are already over-taxed, and selling off public assets. Given the cost of continuing business as usual, states can hardly afford not to consider the public bank option. When state and local governments invest their capital in out-of-state money center banks and deposit their revenues there, they are giving their enormous credit-generating power away to Wall Street.

Move over NeoPixels, there's a new LED strip in town! These fancy new DotStar LED strips are a great upgrade for people who have loved and used NeoPixel strips for a few years but want something even better. DotStar LEDs use generic 2-wire SPI, so you can push data much faster than with the NeoPixel 800 KHz protocol and there's no specific timing required. They also have much higher PWM refresh rates, so you can do Persistence-of-Vision (POV) and have less flickering, particularly at low brightness levels.
Like NeoPixels, DotStar LEDs are 5050-sized LEDs with an embedded microcontroller inside the LED. You can set the color/brightness of each LED to 24-bit color (8 bits each red green and blue). Each LED acts like a shift register, reading incoming color data on the input pins, and then shifting the previous color data out on the output pin. By sending a long string of data, you can control an infinite number of LEDs, just tack on more or cut off unwanted LEDs at the end. The PWM is built into each LED-chip so once you set the color you can stop talking to the strip and it will continue to PWM all the LEDs for you
However, unlike NeoPixels, these LEDs have 2 wires (input and output) for sending data - one clock pin and one data pin. That means you need two pins, not one, to control DotStars. Because the clock and data is seperated, you can use any processor speed or type to control these strips, and you don't have to worry about being careful with the timing. Hardware SPI support is handy but not required. This makes them excellent for use with any microcontroller or microprocessor, including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, Propeller, SparkCore, and any 'raw' microcontrollers/microprocessors. It's very easy to port the library, and you can send data to the pixels at up to 32MHz clock rate!
Another nice thing about DotStars is their high PWM rate. You only have to set the 24-bit color data for each pixel LED once, and then the LED+built-in-chip will handle the PWMing of the red, green and blue. On NeoPixels, this PWM rate happens 400 Hz, which works well but is noticably at lower brightnesses and if the strip is moving in any way. DotStars have a 20 KHz PWM rate, so even when moving the strip around, you won't see the pixelation, the color blending is very smooth.
This is a full meter of the 144 LED-per-meter version of our DotStar strips, on white flex PCB. We have 30 LED/m, 60 LED/m and 144 LED/m on both white and black flex PCB.
The strip is made of flexible PCB material, and comes with a weatherproof sheathing. You can cut this stuff pretty easily with wire cutters, there are cut-lines every 1 LED. Solder to the 0.1" copper pads and you're good to go. Of course, you can also connect strips together to make them longer, just watch how much current you need! You must use a 5V DC power supply to power these strips, do not use higher than 6V or you can destroy the entire strip.
This strip comes as a single full meter with a 4-pin JST SM connector on each end. If you buy multiples, you will get multiple 1 meter strips, they will not come on a continuous strip! To wire up these strips we suggest picking up some JST SM plug and receptacle cables for the signal wires For the power wires, you will also probably want a 2.1mm DC jack to wire in so you can connect one of our 5V wall adapters to power it.
Technical Details:
- Technical specs (for the strips):
- 13mm (0.5") wide, 4mm (0.16") thick
- 144 LEDs per meter
- Pixel pitch: 33.3mm / 1.3" between LEDs
- Operating temperature: -40°C - 40°C
- Storage temperature: -10°C - 50°C
- Technical specs (for the LEDs):
- APA102 LED Datasheet
- Light source: Epistar 5050 SMD LEDs
- LED Brightness: Red ~600mcd, Green ~500mcd, Blue ~150mcd
- Beam angle: ~160°
- Max current draw per RGB LED: ~60mA (20mA max per Red, Green & Blue LED)
