Toaster

A toaster a.k.a. a toast maker, is a small electric appliance designed to brown or "sing[e]" sliced bread by exposing it to radiant heat, thus converting it into toast. Toasters can toast multiple types of sliced bread products. Invented in Scotland in 1893, it was developed over the years, with the introduction of an automatic mechanism to stop the toasting and pop the slices up–the "pop up toaster" in 1919 being a significant development. The most common household toasting appliances in the 2010s are the pop-up toaster and the toaster oven. Bread slices are inserted into slots in the top of a pop-up toaster, which make toast from bread in one to three minutes by using electric heating elements. Toasters have a control to adjust how much the appliance toasts the bread. Since the 2000s, pop-up toasters with wider slots have been manufactured, enabling them to toast bagels cut in half or thick-sliced "Texas toast". Another trend of the 2000s is the increasing availability of four-slice toasters.

Cylon (Battlestar Galactica)

The Cylons are a cybernetic civilization at war with the Twelve Colonies of humanity in the Battlestar Galactica science fiction franchise, in the original 1978 and 1980 series, the 2004 reimagining, as well as the spin-off prequel series, Caprica. In the 1978 series, Cylon is also the name of the reptilian race who created the robot Cylons.

The nature and origin of the Cylons differ greatly between the two Battlestar Galactica continuities. However, both series feature Cylon Raiders, Cylon Basestars and Cylon Centurions. The prequel series, Caprica, focuses on the creation of the Cylons, which differs from all the previous Battlestar Galactica series.

Original continuity

The Cylons of the 1978/1980 series are not the mechanical foils seen throughout the series, but an advanced reptilian race who created the robots (called Cylons within the show) to serve them, maintain their vast empire and to man their military forces in the face of a sudden population drop that eventually led to the Cylons' extinction — seemingly overnight. This fact is briefly mentioned in the 1978 movie-length premiere of the series (near the end of episode 2 in syndication) when Apollo relates the Cylons' origin to Boxey. In the episode "War of the Gods", during Count Iblis's private discourse with Count Baltar, Baltar mentions that he recognizes Iblis's voice, referring to Patrick Macnee's voicing of the Imperious Leader in the opening episode/theatrical movie (Macnee also played Iblis), with Iblis countering that if that was true it must have been "transcribed" over a thousand yahren (years) ago and programmed into the mechanical body of the Imperious Leader.

Toaster (software)

The term "toaster" refers to a self-contained software package (or "appliance") that is easily distributable by electronic means, such as the Freedom Toaster project, This use generally connotes free software and is a term occasionally used in the open source software community."

A toaster appliance is often made up of software components that were not originally packaged together. The new toaster package provides a co-ordinated packaging framework in which all the components can function together as a self-contained unit.

Sacrifice

by: Tsjuder

No I donÂ't need a reason to be breathin, just give you what I can
No I donÂ't want a family who would dare me to resent everything I am
I donÂ't need to prove to all the ones who feel that I need to fit in
No I donÂ't ever tell you that I failed you, IÂ'd rather start life over again
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
Now I can see it clearly why you fear me why you gotta bring me down
No I donÂ't wanna fight you just to spite you but IÂ'm not afraid to take you out
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
Everybody expects me to break but IÂ'll never breakdown again
Everybody expects me to give up, but youÂ'll never see me givin in
Everybody wants me to lose, but IÂ'll never lose who I am
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
Everybody expects me to break but IÂ'll never breakdown again
Everybody expects me to give up, but youÂ'll never see me givin in
Everybody wants me to lose, but IÂ'll never lose who I am
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
