Amaid of laurels holds numerous obligations. Some are emotional, such askeeping the bride calmness and radianton one of the most special years of her life. Others are more practical, like make a point all of the otherbridesmaids are wearing the same color shoes. ( Yes, it reallydoesmatter. ) Butperhaps the most important maidservant of honor duty is hosting a kick-ass spousal shower. A couple of hebdomads ago, I threw one for my jr. sis Melissa, who is getting espouse in Aug.


For the favors, I turned to Justine Pringle of Nunu Chocolates
inBrooklyn.I knewthesehandmadechocolates, with their creativefillings andshapes, from savour them at the Brooklyn Flea
lastyear.Pringle opened her ain store on Atlantic Avenue a couple of months ago, and that Holds where I encountered her to discourse thefavors.Tall, blond, and extremelyfriendly, she inquired me several interrogations about the upcomingwedding, my sis 's sense of manner, and her nuptials colors. We looked at different colorize gift boxes and quickly came upwards with a progrgram for the bundle designing. I knewwithin minutesthat I holded selected the right mortal to make something special for my sis.


While I was originallyinterested in utilizing Nunu 's cocoas because they savored sodelicious, I wasalso pulled to the narration behindthem.The cocoa ganaches, caramels, andother cocoa productsat Nunu are allly natural, done from cacao bean secured directly from a sustainable farm in EasternColombia. Being environmentally witting holds ever been a strong topic in Pringle 's life, as she holds a grade in Environmental Direction and Engineering, and worked in environmental waste direction before turning to chocolate. Looking for unparalleled product to sell at hubby Andy Laird'smusic concerts, she studiedat the Ecole Chocolat
and begined doing cocoas. They shortly went popular in their ain right, and Nunu Chocolates was born.

For my sis 's favors, Pringle and Iselected four different cocoas that showed a broad orbit of Nunu 'sflavors.I was directly drawn to the salt caramels, whose gooey caramel Centre united absolutely withthe rich cocoa andcrunchy salt on theexterior. The festive prosecco
ganache was altogether appropriate for an Italian-American themed shower, while the flowered earl Grey and sweet organic raspberry ganaches calmly shutted the day'sfestivities. Unique and tasty, they werecoveted by everyone who came to the shower.


Pringle will soonbuild a beer and vino saloon, also as a production kitchen, at her Atlantic Avenueshop.I ca n't wait to halt by and decompress with a choice of cocoas and anice glass of vino, peradventure after Melissa 's hymeneals afterward this summertime. Until so, a maidservant of laurels 's work is ne'er maked.

Unit Testing
[info]papacieslyrl

Hullo there, tech readers.


I hold a inquiry to inquire, and I trust one of you out there can give me a good reply thereto.


So I hold recently been presented to Unit Testing as a development procedure, as portion of the Package Technology class I merely took at Penn Now, foremost we maked n't move into really elaborate proficient facets of how Unit trials are maked, but I maked get a opportunity to pen tryouts while I composed codification, and I encountered it to be unbelievably utile. During the class I likewise pent PHPUnit trials for the CMI/IARCS online judge
, and, while I conceive PHPUnit is better than zilch, it still sucks for data-driven applications like the CMI jurist.


Now for one thing, PHPUnit is kooky. But I believe the major issue is that the full framework ( which I consider, is named the xUnit framework ) is rotten sure enough types of applications, especially Web Applications.


I besides believe, that the framework is reasonably useless for event driven applications like most desktop applications composed in C, since it Holds attending be ridiculously mussy to attend to events and callbacks to continue the tryout. But then, most Java plans would likelily hold a yarn for making anything that would blockade, and while I would 've named that absolutely stupid until a month back, I can see why that Holds so utile for penning unit trials.


In point of fact, Java does unit tryouts bloody easy even without a model. We composed a cleanly complex Java progrgram last Springtime as constituent of the Package Systems class, and without cognise anything about Unit testing, penning trials were obvious every clip I pent a new factor: public still nullity briny


I 've been considering about how I would care to implement a Unit testing model for the OPC justice, and I maked come upwards with the undermentioned model, and I make believe that it Holds a cleanly obvious style of set about it, and that one of the hundreds of unit testing frameworks
should render something like this, and that one you readers can designate me to that.


So, firstly I 'd wish to reason that we should be able to delimitate the province of the system goodly. In unit testing nomenclature, this might be named `` fixtures ''. There are two parts of the fixture, one is the motionless data stored by the plan before it got, then a series of actions that altered the system to its present province.


For instance in PHP, the province would be [ database ] x [ $ Session ], and here the $ Session is usually little plenty. These are the only two things that are recallled across two calls to the Apache waiter. ( In that situation, you can envisage a 2d user altering the database at the same clip, but for the aim of testing, allow 's skip these situations. )


In event driven, individual threaded plans, the province is really really easily delimited. Each clip you 're in the event grommet, waiting for the following event, we hold a province. I would n't be pertained much ( with some elisions ) about intermediate provinces. It Holds these provinces where the progrgram is making naught that shoulds be tried.


( In multi-threaded programmes, talk about province is passably useless, so therein instance, we should wedge to the xUnit fashion of testing. )


Once you hold the province, you can specify actions. Actions may or may not alter the province. Each unit tryout would be of the undermentioned descriptor: lay upward the fixture, run a couple of actions to convey the system province to a province in which we desire to examine the system, and eventually examine the action we 're interested in.


Unfortunately, as a developer, I encounter myself not wishing the thought of making the fixture for a particular tryout. It Holds painful, you should reach cipher the outcomes, mistakes, and any chump change to the dataset alters the replies, etcetera. So the first thing I desire of my testing model, is that I should be able to compose tryouts without fullly cognise how the fixture looks like. But the actions depend on the fixture itself. Soe.g., I desire to examine that the problems/ page works on the IARCS jurist. depends on the data. I would should be able to compose something like:




$problemname = get_value_for_situation ("problem-name", "Any problem name in the database, maybe one that uses images, so that we can test it");

route ("problems/$problemname");

< sanity checks go here >



Now this is independent of the fixture. So if a user desires to make a new tryout based on this for a new fixture ( or for a new value of problem-name ), he might make something like:




$ create-test test-problems-page.php <fixturedir>



and now, the testing model enquire the user to input a value for `` problem-name '', and stores this reply in a testing database permanently ( which should not be constituent of the codification depositary, but you could ideate a key deposit, where quizzer can force their tryouts to ).


This can travel along. Responses can depend on the fixture excessively, for example if in the above example an Elision is thrown while opening `` problems/ $ problemname '', so the model should inquire the quizzer:




An exception [ContestNotStartedException] was thrown, is this the expected behavior [y/n] ?



..and the response travels into the database.


It could be more complex. The examiner could pen specific tryouts for his fixture:




The test passed with no assertions failing. Do you want to test anything else [y/n]? y

> assert ($output->xpathQuery ("//img[@href="image1.jpg]").count != 0)



and this codification travels into the database.


Event driven C programmes


The 2nd thing I desire in a model is specific to event driven plans, and really specific to the libraries/languages employed. There are some unit proves that I would really wish to compose for my Soc 2009 codification for Pidgin.


A simple construct that we learnt in Package Technology was `` Designing to Essay, '' which does stacks of sense. Thus, I believe it wreak for a C progrgram to breathe signs specifically to point that some action holds finished successfully or modified the province, even if that signaling is not meant to be utilized by other codification.


For example, if I need to rewrite my GoogleSource execution in Liferea, I should be able to pen unit tryouts that look like:




testParseSuccess (){

<initialize the GoogleSource subscription>

subscription_update (subscription); /* asynchronous network interactions */

g_wait_on_signal (subscription, "update-complete", &xml);

<validate the XML >

}



[ proficient item: This strategy may not be easy to implement. One fashion is to hold keep the event grummet within the wait_on_signal mapping. I 'm not sure about the items of this, and I might be incorrect. The other is to hold this full codification in another yarn, and `` subscription_update '' should would not be an internal API call, but a `` top-level '' `` action ''. ]


This should do it possible to pen additive trials within the event driven framework, while maintaining the tryout codification as an percipient to the province of the system.


I halt here. I 'm getting lazy, and I still hold work to make on my Pidgin Webkit plugin, and then I 'm not proof reading this. Hopefully, even though most of you maked n't gain till this paragraph, this documents some of the thoughts I holded for how a unit tryout system should act. And even better, if you cognise some unit trial model that I can modify to fit my demands, make allow me cognise.

Pumpkin Spice Bar
[info]papacieslyrl

This bar is even Regulated like a pumpkin!


I hold a really fun autumn afters to share with you today that moves a trifle spot against the grain of how I cook.


This bar runs contrary to my typical everything-homemade criterion for sweets, but it Holds so tasty and dampish that I ca n't refuse adding it to my bag of afters tricks for this fall season. This is a great bar to bring round a potluck or for a special juncture. Because it utilizes a bar premix, it besides is really speedy and easy to conjointly.

Pumpkin Spice Bar


  • 1 Duncan Hines Spice Bar Premix

  • 6 eggs

  • cup oil

  • 1 big can pumpkin pie fill


Intermingle the ingredients until smooth.


Spot in a greased and floured bundt pan - bake at 350 levels for 35 - 40 transactions ( or until touch back ). Mizzled warm pick cheese ice up the bar after it chills.


It Holds rattlingly simple!


You can likewise bake the bar in a big sheet pan ( or little cupcake size especially regulated pans for single helpings ). And, for an supererogatory crunch, top with chopped walnuts.


Now for the merriment component. If you desire to do a beautiful fall-themed afters, bake this hitter in two half-sized bundt pans. ( If you merely hold one pan, you can make this consecutive. ) After they 've chilled, spot one bar, rounded side downward and invert the 2nd bar on top of that one. This will do a bar roughly the conformation of a pumpkin. If you justly hold a full-sized bundt pan, you can duplicate the formula and make the same thing. You 'll finish up with an tremendous bar that will feed a crowd.


Apply 2 tins of pick cheese frost ( or around 2 cups ). Maintain the two bars together with roughly 1/2 C of frost. So start the plastic can in the microwave for 30 seconds and pour the residual over the bar.


Exercise bag of Kraft caramels ( softened-lay them out on a biscuit sheet and pose it on the oven door while taking the bars out of the pan ) - unwrap and utilize them as though they were clay to model the root and leaves ( one caramel will do one foliage ) - apply a table knife to sculpture and tag the radical and leaves to look more realistic. Place the `` base '' on top hole of the upper bar. Embellish with the caramel `` leaves. '' This is a existent show-off bar. It Holds easiest to cut pieces off the upper bar firstly then the lower bar when functioning.


cake 003


Desire a trifle smorgasbord - replacement applesauce, raisins, and walnuts for the pumpkin pie fill and bake in a smooth mix bowl - top with caramel frost to make an apple alternatively.


Many thanks to my friend, Ellen, who acquainted me to this great formula.
