I suspect we are talking at cross purposes.

Probably.

I was addressing the actual cost per unit (to include labor and materials) as ~1/20th of the cost paid by the consumer.
Occasionally particular items require more effort or require a higher cost because of specific ingredients, but most bakers with business longevity don't have that cost associated with EVERY item.

Most of the orders aren't unique as such, but rather chosen from a limited selection. Some of the cupcake styles will of course require more effort than others, but many of her offerings are simple designs that use cookie-cuttered fondant or edible pastry print, and all of the cupcakes are presumably using one of several base cupcakes. Cross utilization is always king in this type of operation.

Filling the oven is less of an issue because the bulk of the labor is going to be the actual decoration of the cupcakes. It would only take one unskilled laborer that can read and follow directions(though that can be asking a lot these days) to keep everyone on staff but the dishwasher rolling in cupcakes.
Secondly, it is unlikely that 8500 people went to a cupcake store that they probably didn't know much about that same week, much less that month. Business was swamped by comparison to her normal routine I'm sure, but Groupon is a tricky devil that is still kicking you long after the initial rush.

I like to use the deals on Groupon, but I hate what it does to my food costs when it's used on me.
One of the last deals we had with them was a $25 coupon for the cost of $15. We then paid Groupon $5 for each of those coupons they sold. Sadly customers didn't use it all on baked goods...

I've only ever baked for 'mom and pop' affairs, so I wouldn't know about chain stores. The first time was for a boss who started with $500 and 2 credit cards 18 years ago and turned it all into a well known gourmet market in the Atlanta area. Another time was for another well known DIY restaurant/bakery in town.
My mother was a pastry chef who has made cakes similar to those on the website of your wife since I was 3 years old. I know the costs and labor involved to make make breads, cakes and other assorted patisserie fair. There is still an insanely low margin on baking using 'fancy' ingredients.

As for Groupon...Groupon costs a lot in food costs, and 2 years later I hadn't seen any significant change in sales that could've been attributed to their involvement.

Most baking is on a very low margin because of the bulk batches made by the Baker. Bread, Doughnuts, Pastries, and such can all be under 6% even utilizing 'expensive' ingredients like nuts and fruit. It's laborious, but only requires a few people to have any actual skill depending on the situation because of easy recipes.

I'm surprised she didn't approach a local culinary school if her cupcakes took such skill to prepare and create.

Read the article (Or just work it out by looking at the picture).

The unit as conceptualized involves an exit via that white little tube sticking out of the back of the structure. The unit as presented is assembled around a window pane (walls aren't thin enough) with a hole cut in it to allow the exit tube to feed through.

Funny. I typed in 'Railo' and didn't see a single 'Rails' result.

If you don't offer more context than a single word it's not hard to take the logical next step and presume that most users are probably interested in something that would be considered a common interpretation for your potentially misspelled query than they would some 'obscure' cold fusion markup language. I've never heard of Railo before today, but I know what Rails are.
Google tends to do a very good job in offering results for the probable intent for schmoes like me who were probably misspelling 'rails' as well as the literal intent of a query for people like you in my experience. And by the fact that I was unable to find a 'rails' result in my search a few minutes ago, I'm given to a bit of lenience on the part of Google in assuming that they are performing search refinements constantly so that everyone gets what they want.
'Rails' is not more popular than 'Railo,' it's just has more utility for more people. I don't know about you, but I appreciate when someone takes that effort when I was too lazy to use a few more keystrokes to elaborate on my obscure query.

Obviously everything you desire is a minor interpretation or unrelated to whatever query you've entered if you're not getting the results you want. I'd be interested in knowing what search engine you think provides more utility than Google, because I can't think of one.
Bing is more useful to me than Google maybe 1 in 20 times. Maybe.

I'm going to mark this as 'slightly relevant' when it comes up in Google ratings.

I vote every time. The people I vote for always win. I still don't win.

The rating hike is negligible though. The cost to have streaming + 3 Dvd's out at a time is still less than what Comcast and other service providers are charging for basic cable. With Hulu being free to watch new episode content, I'm still happily along for the ride that Netflix is offering.
It was the idea of having to login to 2 different websites to find what I want to watch that really chaffed.

I remember the day we realized that you could have more than a total of 4 weapons per ship. Up until we figured out that those arrows were for more than interface articulation and were meant to increment we were convinced the game was cheating horribly...

As for the original topic: I've still got 6.22 in original box with copies of Quarterdeck's Mosaic and DOS 5.0 shoved in with it to save space, but I've not actually run any of it in over 10+ years. I think you just might be the last holdout besides my father. He keeps some busted emachine around for MoO as well. 'X-Com:Ufo defence' was the only game from that time period that I would enjoy enough to utilize any of that old hardware/software, but I don't see having the patience to play it anymore when there are more entertaining things to do with spare boxes.

I could be wrong, but I don't think the actual application of laser pointers to cameras does any burning out of the hardware.
As for Burn Notice, with many of their stunts leaving out crucial middle steps or over-exaggerating the effects, I think a more likely true usage of bundled lasers would be through the utilization of multiple colors (red, green, blue) to prevent analysis/countermeasures that apply color specific filters. (like using red to still figure out that was M. Westin in the corner using a bundle of red lasers)

Here is an example of one gentleman's pursuit in defeating cameras with lasers/light:

There is no risk of a radioactive leak according to the article referenced or several other articles referencing the incident.

What, 'CVE-2011-3192' isn't exciting enough for you?

As it is effectively finished in the wild for 2.2+ so long as everyone practices due diligence, unless someone really high up the food chain manages to still get bit in a sensitive area it doesn't deserve the same status as William H. Bonney.

And I'd be torn between 'insightful' and 'underrated' with mod points...

Nicely done. Sadly meta-mod did not give me your post.
