Well, Cake IS My Drug of Choice...
Before I address this cake, I would like to state a few things for the record:
1) My mother reads this blog. (Hi, Mom!)
2) I have never, ever, even remotely considered the possibility of so much as looking at a piece of drug paraphernalia. Ever. (Hi, Mom!)
So my question is this, Stephanie A.: Does a crack pipe really look like a coffee cup filled with bloody mini-marshmallows? 'Cuz I always pictured something a little edgier, like that thing the caterpillar is smoking in Alice in Wonderland*.
*Yes, Disney movies are my only base of reference for drugs. Heck, it was years before I figured out smoking doesn't turn people into donkeys. (Although when the "no smoking" sign is present, it does turn them into jackasses. Booyah! Up high! Haha!)

Key parties are as passe as water beds and unkempt nether regions. Who needs those sorts of cheap thrills when you've got an adult-sized bouncy room to go wild in?
The Block Party is a 15-foot cubed inflatable vinyl dome. It weighs only 235 pounds—for portability—and is completely waterproof—to ease in cleanup. There's no word on how many people it can safely support but I'm guessing more than two.
In addition, The Block Party comes with a Little Chroma vibrator, five interchangeable heads, and a sixty-pack of Sir Richard's condoms. You just need to supply an air compressor, a few willing participants, $4,000, and snacks. Seriously, what sort of host doesn't put out at least some finger sandwiches with company coming over? The Block Party is available at JimmyJane.
You can keep up with Andrew Tarantola, the author of this post, on Twitter or Google+.

One of the smallest dual-core CoM in the world, the Ka-Ro TX6 is based on NXP's i.MX6 processor. Mounted on the base board, the module only takes up just under 26 cm² (36 mm x 71 mm including the socket) and facilitates a maximum construction height of just 4.5 mm. As the latest member of the Ka-Ro CoM family, the TX6DL boasts powerful dual-core CPU performance for challenging graphical and multimedia applications.
Also available as 1GHz Quad-Core TX6Q, 800MHz industrial Quad-Core TX6QP and Single-Core TX6S
Embedded computing power is very much in demand in a growing number of multimedia-centric devices. The Ka-Ro TX6 is ideally suited for target markets requiring high-end devices for powerful images and impressive video streaming creating connected devices in the following vertical markets.
By combining the power-efficient processing capabilities of the ARM Cortex-A9 architecture with bleedingedge 3D and 2D graphics, as well as high-definition video, the i.MX 6 provides a new level of multimedia performance to enable an unbounded next-generation user experience.
For more information regarding i.MX 6DualLite processors, see the NXP product page:
NXP i.MX 6DualLite
128MiB SLC NAND
Often, devices are required in different performance and price classes. This is where Ka-Ro's TX standard comes into its own. With one single hardware design embedded engineers can produce a range of pin- and software-compatible products. Ka-Ro introduced the TX CoM standard over six years ago. Until today, the Ka-Ro Starter Kit V has served as the unchanged development environment for all Ka-Ro TX modules underlining Ka-Ro's long-term product and family strategy. All the TX modules can be used on the Starter Kit V which enables great scalability and flexibility.
The philosophy behind Ka-Ro's TX CoM family is to reduce a CoM down to the absolute minimum of components. In doing so, application designers and engineers using Ka-Ro CoMs can achieve maximum flexibility. Ka-Ro TX CoM modules solely feature the processor plus memory and the power supply. Any additional functions can be added to the base board.
This focus on CoMs with a minimum number of components is on the one hand the key to very competitive pricing, on the other hand it enables Ka-Ro to ensure long-term availability. While processor manufacturers like NXP offer a long-term availability of 10 to 15 years, this must also apply to any further components integrated onto a module or these must be available via second sourcing and without any necessary software alterations. If these components are integrated on a module, as is the case with many other manufacturers, this long-term availability is endangered, or – from right from the start – not possible to guarantee.

Hi everybody. I am new to the forum, and have just purchased a Europa plus and Patguard elite2 software,
I am led to believe that you can run the SW on one machine only.
My desktop has windows 7 installed, and my laptop has vista. I do have an older machine with xp installed, however i quite often reformat this machine.
Question is, where should i install the software?(which machine). I would prefer the machine with windows7.
I would hate to turn the SW into a £400+ piece of toast.
Thank You in advance for any help.
Cheers Paul

Covergirl: Before New York Comic Con, I adored Cliff Chiang and felt a little disappointed every time Tony Akins' name appeared on the cover.
After New York Comic Con, after hearing Tony Akins talk about his art, after hearing him reference wide-ranging influences that include Victorian funereal photographry and British footballer Wayne Rooney, I was psyched to see his name on this week's cover.
(P-S-Y-C-H-E-D! Let's! Get! Psyched! My pom-pom shaking days ended decades ago, but that little bit of perkitude is forever etched in my brain.)
That said, the cover didn't blow me away, though I did find the use of space (i.e. the sand stretching in front of Diana) interesting and effective. Nice break from the Covers of Much Action.
We don't always need a boot in the face. Though I love to say MOTHERFUCKER, and when you get a boot in the face, you get to say MOTHERFUCKER.
Ramble: Another great read. Let's get my one hesitation with the book out of the way first, then dive into the happy.
My One Hesitation with the Book
The bit about the scientists seemed out of another book; Supergirl, maybe.
Diving into the Happy
I particularly enjoyed the family dramedy; both the poolside scene at Apollo's re-imagined Olympus, which looks like a newly minted movie star's first multimillion-dollar estate, and the Hera-Zola smackdown in Diana's London apartment.
Also enjoyed the Siracca reveal, especially the final dramatic shot and the initial interaction between the demi-god and Diana, her half-sister.
Siracca appears first in the form of a child, which allows us for a brief moment to envision a maternal Diana. She's fresh off a display of her superhero chops. The juxtaposition of that ass-kickery with her taking care of a small, scared child succinctly reminds of us Diana's gender duality.
Do you like that phrase, gender duality? I learned it in graduate school. $30,000 bucks buys you some swell jargon.

Now that we know the benefits of mathematics what is needed to conquer this hard to tackle and arduous subject. Answer is quite simple actually, practice, a lot of practice from early childhood. But in order to perform any task or practice any task, one requires resources. Obtaining a resource is not difficult in todays modern world but affordable resource is definitely a rare commodity. Today education is a sector which gets very little funding from the federal government.

ROCHESTER - Firefighters spent hours extinguishing a first alarm fire within a large duct system in a manufacturing facility in Gonic Monday afternoon.
Police, firefighters and emergency personnel responded at 1:11 p.m. after dust inside the ductworks caused a fire at Spaulding Composites Inc. at 55 Nadeau Drive, according to Fire Chief Norm Sanborn.
"There were smoldering fires throughout the ducts," Sanborn said, adding firefighters used inspection doors to extinguish the hot spots in 300 feet of ducts.
Sanborn said the first alarm fire recalled firefighters from Rochester while calling in assistance from Dover and Durham, including a rapid intervention team as a precaution. All of the employees were able to safely evacuate from the building and none of the workers or firefighters sustained injuries from the fire, according to Sanborn.
Sanborn said the employees were sent home because it took hours to inspect the system. He added the fire was under control at 2:41 p.m., but as of 6 p.m., some firefighters remained at the scene to help maintenance crews inspect and clean the system.
"There's still some areas which are still smoldering now," Sanborn said, adding it will take time to ensure the fire is out and doesn't rekindle in the ducts.
Spaulding Composites manufactures a variety of components for heavy equipment, air tools, cryogenics, bearing retainers and other specialty items.

I am taking them with me to the retreat I'm going to next and maybe I can get them sewn together. I borrowed this one I made for a friend to refresh my memory as to how they were put together.

The newly formed Coalition for Transportation Productivity (CTP) reports that its efforts to gain wider Congressional support for higher commercial truck weight limits seems to be working – though John Runyan, the group's co-chair, admits there's still a long way to go.
"We're getting excellent response from Capitol Hill for a couple of reasons," Runyan, who is also senior manager of federal government relations for International Paper, told FleetOwner. "First, higher truck weights is being advocated more broadly, by shippers and carriers in unison. Second, we are willing to pay for the privilege of hauling more weight, so any impact on infrastructure is covered. And, finally, we've got a lot more safety data for our side of the argument. That's a telling piece of evidence for our argument."
CTP is supporting the Safe and Efficient Transportation Act of 2009 (H.R. 1799), introduced by Rep. Michael Michaud (D-ME) this March, to allow individual states to increase their interstate vehicle weight limits to 97,000 pounds – but only for vehicles equipped with a sixth axle. Without changing the size or length of the truck, the additional axle would maintain braking capacity and the current distribution of weight per tire while minimizing pavement wear, CTP said. The bill also imposes a user fee for six-axle units that would fund vital bridge repair.
That being said, though, getting this bill passed "is going to be a very tough lift," Runyan noted, due to expected opposition from safety groups. And if passed, it will take time for the higher-weight capacity trucks to actually get on the roads.
"Even if this [bill] passed tomorrow, you couldn't put a six-axle tractor-trailer on the road until the states make their own statutory changes," Runyan explained. "Our hope is that Congress would pass this bill, we'd get a handful of states that would quickly allow heavier trucks to operate within their borders, and then we'd settle in for the long slog to get the others to increase [truck] weight limits."
The advantage CTP – made up of over 100 associations and companies, including Kraft Foods, MillerCoors and International Paper – sees in the current legislative push to beef up truck weights vs. previous efforts is they have at hand recent studies that indicate highway safety would improve.
A 2009 Wisconsin Department of Transportation study found that if a law like H.R. 1799 had been in place in 2006, it would have prevented 90 truck-related accidents in the state during 2006 – and companies would have saved more than $150 million in transportation costs. Similarly, in 2001, Great Britain raised the gross vehicle weight limit for six-axle trucks to 44 tons (97,000 lbs) and, since then, fatal truck-related accident rates declined by 35%.
"Accident rates among heavy vehicles are strongly tied to the vehicle miles a truck must travel to deliver a ton of freight, and trucks now travel twice as many miles as they did when the current federal weight limit was set," Runyan noted.
"Freight hauled by trucks in the U.S. is expected to double by 2025, and truck traffic is growing 11 times faster than road capacity," he added. "[So] a proposal like H.R. 1799 would reduce the number of vehicles-miles and the overall number of trucks needed to deliver a specific amount of freight, reducing hazardous vehicle miles traveled and cutting fuel and emissions by 19% for each ton carried."

Global warming has subtly altered the taste and texture of Japanese apples over the last 40 years, although consumers may not realize it, according to new research.
A study published in Scientific Reports concluded that climate change was likely responsible for earlier apple tree blooms and warmer growing seasons in Japan, as well as softer and less acidic apples.
"The taste and textural attributes of apples in the market are undergoing change from a long-term perspective, even though consumers might not perceive these subtle changes," wrote lead study author Toshihiko Sugiura, a fruit tree researcher at Japan's National Agriculture and Food Research Organization.
Sugiura and colleagues examined Fuji and Tsugaru apples raised in experimental growing stations in Nagano and Aomori prefectures from 1970 to 2010. Growing practices, which include soil management, pruning and hand pollination, were conducted along recommended guidelines, authors said.
Each year, researchers documented temperature, rainfall, time of bloom, time of harvest and other environmental indicators. Apples were also evaluated for acid concentration, firmness and water core -- an undesirable condition that causes browning during storage.
During the study period, average air temperature increased about 2 degrees Fahrenheit in the studied orchards, according to researchers. Also, by the end of the study period, full bloom dates were occurring three to five days earlier in the year.
By the end of the study, researchers noted that the apples had declined in acidity, firmness and water core rating. Acid concentration in fruit is associated with the sensation of sourness.
Researchers said that the level of the changes was "not high," but that they were significant.
"If global warming continues to progress, the changes in the taste and textural attributes of apples could be more striking as blooming dates become even earlier and temperatures increase during the fruit maturation process," the authors wrote.

Should You Splurge on Organic Eggs?
When it comes to eggs, buying organic isn't all it's cracked up to be. Before you hit the checkout line, make sure you know what's in your cart.
Let's take a look at the price tags. A dozen organic eggs can cost you $5, while a dozen standard eggs are just $2. That's more than double the price.
Some of the labels you may see include "no antibiotics" or "no added hormones," but all eggs sold for human consumption, as regulated by law, are free of both. So, these two labels aren't saying anything out of the ordinary, and definitely aren't worth paying extra for.
The term "cage free" can also be misleading. The most nutritious eggs come from hens that are allowed to roam about and eat a natural diet. However, with organic eggs, the usage of the term "cage-free" is unregulated, so you might not be getting what you think you're paying for.
When it comes to eggs, don't pay double for zero added benefit. Keep these tips in mind, so you can break a few eggs without breaking the bank.

Reinstall from macOS Recovery
macOS Recovery makes it easy to reinstall the Mac operating system, even if you need to erase your startup disk first. All you need is a connection to the Internet. If a wireless network is available, you can choose it from the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar. This menu is also available in macOS Recovery.
1. Start up from macOS Recovery
To start up from macOS Recovery, turn on your Mac and immediately press and hold one of the following combinations on your keyboard. Command-R is generally recommended, especially if you never installed macOS Sierra 10.12.4 or later.
Command (⌘)-R
Install the latest macOS that was installed on your Mac.
Upgrade to the latest macOS that is compatible with your Mac.
Install the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available.
Release the keys when you see the Apple logo, a spinning globe, or a prompt for a firmware password. When you see the Utilities window, you've started up from macOS Recovery.
2. Decide whether to erase (format) your disk
If you need to erase your disk before installing macOS, select Disk Utility from the Utilities window, then click Continue. You probably don't need to erase, unless you're selling or giving away your Mac or have an issue that requires you to erase. Learn more about when and how to erase.
3. Install macOS
After starting up from macOS Recovery, follow these steps to install macOS:
- Choose Reinstall macOS (or Reinstall OS X) from the Utilities window.
- Click Continue, then follow the onscreen instructions to choose your disk and begin installation.
If the installer asks to unlock your disk, enter the password you use to log in to your Mac. If it doesn't see your disk, or it says that it can't install on your computer or volume, you might need to erase your disk.
- Please allow installation to complete without putting your Mac to sleep or closing its lid. During installation, your Mac might restart and show a progress bar several times, and the screen might be empty for minutes at a time.
If your Mac restarts to a setup assistant, but you're selling or giving it away, press Command-Q to quit the assistant without completing setup. Then click Shut Down. When the new owner starts up the Mac, they can use their own information to complete setup.
If you never installed macOS Sierra 10.12.4
If macOS Sierra 10.12.4 or later was never installed on your Mac, macOS Recovery works differently:
- Command-R is still the recommended way to start up from macOS Recovery. This combination makes sure that the installation isn't associated with your Apple ID, which is important if you're selling or giving away your Mac.
- Option-Command-R installs the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available.
- Shift-Option-Command-R isn't available.
