Its surface features extremely unusual cuts; actually, this marble is a puzzle that can be broken up into 4 pieces. This advanced design is the creation of Bram & Oskar. If you succeed in breaking up the marble, carefully examine the surface of the sections of each piece. The theme of this puzzle is "Sphere."

A very easy puzzle to do, but not easy to figure out. Putting together is harder than taking apart however after doing the puzzle twice it can be scrambled, solved, and put back together in under 10 seconds. Figuring out the puzzle the first time took me 12 min to take apart and almost 30 to put together. This puzzle also looks great on a shelf.
One of the most beautiful puzzles. Nice to hold and twist. The only negative is that I solved this puzzle very quickly. Disassembled in 5 minutes, assembled in 15. I would like to tinker a little more because holding this thing in your hands is a pleasure! )) I definitely recommend it!
Another nice pocket puzzle to carry around, Somewhat difficult to solve. Interesting design and solution along with putting it back together.
This puzzle is beautiful in every way. Physically it's beautiful, playing with it is a great experience and the solution is also beautiful (even if it's not too hard). I lost this puzzle once and I had to buy it again and then I saw a collection of Hanayama puzzles that had this puzzle and I was even more motivated to buy the collection because of it. This is also the puzzle I recommend to people who are new at this sort of puzzles
One of the most beautiful puzzles I have and I have over a hundred. It isn't only beautifully constructed, but the solution/mechanism is the best part, I have recommended it before and I will do it again.
It's a very clever puzzle, and definitely seems hard the first time you pick it up. This was my fist cast puzzle, and I think served its job of introducing me to puzzling very well. Though, I think it it easier than level eights.
A neat concept and a very cool looking puzzle! Would be a perfect gift for someone who is into geometry. The way the case is shaped creates a great red herring, and I fell for it completely. When I got the puzzle apart I was mentally on the wrong track, and didn't carefully observe how it opened. I spent days trying to reverse what I *thought* I had done - very frustrating. I finally realized I had fooled myself, and tried a different approach. Finding the real solution makes for a very pretty surprise.
Love the looks of this one, not very difficult though to disassemble, putting it back together was a different story, much much easier if you set the pieces down on something.
Another beautiful Hanayama puzzle, which I found rather difficult until I realized how easy it was to disassemble and reassemble. Lovely, solid piece with smooth movements. Seems a bit easy for a level 8 puzzle, but your mileage may vary. I suppose it's only hindsight that makes me think this should be rated 7 rather than 8; it sure seemed like an 8 when I first started working on it!
It took me a few minutes to understand the idea and some time to find the way to disassemble it. Putting it back together is trivial, like putting back together Cast News or Rattle for example. I think the level of the puzzle is proper. Additionally, there is some kind of a "hint" to the solution on the box of the puzzle. But one might not understand it, unless they are concentrated (and eventually know the solution already).
Marble is the one cast puzzle that taught me how important it is to carefully observe how you take a puzzle apart in order to be able to reassemble it. Definitely on my Top 5 list of Hanayamas.
Absolutely terrific! Bought it yesterday and still trying to figure it out.
100+ stars! This puzzle is both terrific in design and difficulty. It opens smoothly and it will amaze you. I don't care if you're a puzzle rookie or master, this one is a must-have in your puzzle collection.
This is one of my favorites so far, it's not that hard and is amazingly well built. There's actually a 'solution' to this one that makes sense and it just feels great in the hands.
Looks really cool. Easy to solve. Fun puzzle.
The trick of this puzzle is very clever indeed. However, I don't think you can disassemble it (the first time) in any kind of methodical way - you just fiddle, roll, and jiggle it until it starts to break apart. It seems like there's simply not enough information available to guide your intuition or analysis. Once disassembled, careful examination and some thought will point to the correct reassembly technique, which is really quite beautiful and much more rewarding than the disassembly.
I love this puzzle. It is well made with a very clever method, elegant in the solution and very satisfying. I would recommend to anyone who loves puzzles.
Very satisfying and surprising movement. I overthought it and had more trouble than I should have. Medium difficulty. Kind of like a Vesa Timonen, but was evidently designed by Oskar von Deventer and Bram Cohen. Nice looking puzzle, too. One of my favorites.
This puzzle is easier to take apart than put together. I found that it is possible to take it apart and not realize exactly what happened. Then you spend much time trying to put it back together until the elegant move is discovered. One of the very best Hanayamas.
This puzzle is just a bit too small. Since it is so well made, it is very slippery in the hands, and as such it is also a bit of a dexterity puzzle, especially getting it back together again. I find it much harder to get back together than to take it apart, which is not usually the case with most of the Hanayama puzzles.
This is an excellent puzzle! I recommend it to anyone who loves puzzles! Heavy and magnificent finish! It's one of the best cast puzzles around.
What a beautiful puzzle. Alot like Cast Loop. I love it.
4 stars for the Look of this puzzle. Difficulty 3 stars. I took me about 20-30 minutes to solve it. Still I recommend this. It is very beautiful and I think that it isn´t so easy to peoples who hasn´t do this kind of puzzles.

Get your Aussie on! The new typeface, Ainslie, with its mix of influences from Oz, makes its mark as the first semi-serif from insigne Design.
Ainslie, named for Mt. Ainslie and Canberra's inner suburb of the same name, was originally developed for the Canberra Australia Centennial Typeface Competition. Canberra is Australia's capital, and It's a planned city designed by American Walter Burley Griffin, a contemporary and one-time associate of Frank Lloyd Wright. Griffin's plan involved a distinctly geometric design with several focal points--one of which was Mt. Ainslie. This same purely geometric scheme is now the basis for insigne's new release.
Similar to the Chatype project in its scope, its challenge, and the way its concept was developed, Ainslie incorporates influences from Canberra and surrounding areas to form a font that is uniquely Australian. In comparison, Chatype was developed for the city of Chattanooga, Tennessee by insigne in conjunction with designer Robbie de Villiers. Chatype took elements from Chattanooga's industrial character and Cherokee past and merged them with the area's technological influences.
Likewise, Ainslie takes Canberra's distinct, geometric design and blends it with the organic, flowing effect of aboriginal art. Add in touches from the smooth, aerodynamic design of the boomerang and Ainslie gives you a look uniquely Australian yet usable in a wide range of applications.
The fashionable typeface includes a multitude of alternates that can be accessed in any OpenType-enabled application. These stylish alternates along with a number of swashes as well as meticulously refined details with ball terminals and alternate titling caps keep the font well accessorized. Also included are capital swash alternates, old style figures, and small caps. Peruse the PDF brochure to see these features in action. OpenType enabled applications such as the Adobe suite or Quark can take full advantage of the automatic replacing ligatures and alternates. This family also offers the glyphs to support a wide range of languages.
While Ainslie wasn't selected as the final font in the Canberra competition, the outcome allowed for additional adjustments to the typeface. Several approaches were attempted for the final product including a technological hexagonal concept, which may still be developed to another form later. Some of the organic forms were removed and substituted with more abrupt endings, leaving the face looking pretty spiffy and a fair bit more legible. In the end, Ainslie was pulled back to the basic forms from which it was started.
Give it a go for your next project. It's guaranteed to be anything but a barbecue stopper.

Helicopter parents, stop hovering: it's officially not good for your kids — especially if they're already grown.
A new study in the Journal of Child and Family Studies found that being overly involved in your grownup kids' lives can do more harm than good. The research was conducted by the same scientists who showed last year that intensive parenting — constantly stimulating your children — can make moms more depressed.
You may think you're helping out by phoning your kids' college professors to haggle over the difference between a B+ and an A–, but that interference may be undermining young adults' ability to problem-solve and fend for themselves. Constantly texting adult children and friending them on Facebook — letting them fly the coop but still demanding daily check-ins — is not exactly building a generation of confident and resilient grownups. And the problem only snowballs. "Parents are sending an unintentional message to their children that they are not competent," says Holly Schiffrin, lead author of the study and an associate professor of psychology at the University of Mary Washington. "When adult children don't get to practice problem-solving skills, they can't solve these problems in the future."
(MORE: The Growing Backlash Against Overparenting)
To reach this conclusion, Schiffrin and colleagues surveyed 297 college-age children about their parents, asking a barrage of questions: Are your parents involved in selecting classes? Do they contact your professors about your grades? (Schiffrin herself has been on the receiving end of such calls more than once.) Do they intervene if you have a roommate issue?
The students also reported on how satisfied they were with their lives, as well as their feelings of depression and anxiety. And they were questioned about the "self-determination theory," which holds that every person has three basic needs in order to be happy: they must feel autonomous, competent and connected to other people.
(MORE: How 'Kidsick' Parents Stay Obsessively Connected with Their Kids in Summer Camp)
Their answers showed that helicopter parenting decreased adult children's feelings of autonomy, competence and connection. In turn, feeling incompetent led to increased reports of feeling depressed and dissatisfied. "These parents have the best intentions," says Schiffrin. "They are being involved to help their child be successful. But as we know from the previous study, that high level of involvement is stressful for parents and it is not benefiting the kids. It's actually harming them."
As exhausting as such hands-on parenting is, and despite the toll it may take on the moms' mental health, they tend to consider the sacrifice worth it because they believe they're helping their children. Schiffrin knows the feeling. "Personally, I feel a lot of guilt anytime I'm not doing something for my kids," she admits.
But her work should help moms to shift that perspective. Perhaps by choosing to watch Downton Abbey reruns instead of playing Candyland with a tot or editing college essays for a high-schooler, they're actually building their offspring's independence and confidence.
(MORE: The Latest Trend in College Admissions: Parents Write Letters of Recommendation)
"For me, this at least says it's O.K. to not do as much as other parents are doing because I'm helping my child become self-sufficient," she says. "If we are doing something that is hurting us and is not helping our kids, then we need to stop."

LACMA's Art Rental and Sales Gallery occupies several hallways underneath the Bing Center, including the one outside my office, so my coworkers and I are used to a regularly shifting selection of work from local artists.
Several years ago, one small collage caught my eye. It was hung in a short connecting hallway leading to the Hammer Building elevator. A bit oddly, it was hung higher on the wall than the other pieces. And it had no label.
I eventually noticed, too, that while other artworks would come and go, this anonymous collage stayed in place. I imagined it orphaned by its maker and, with no one to return to, it had been left to stay in a little-known corner of the back hallways of LACMA. It had insinuated its way into our permanent collection, like a stray that takes a shine to that secluded spot under your porch. I found this rather appealing.
Taking the back way to the Hammer one day, I noticed that a small label had finally appeared.
Colorant Durability Test
Questions? Call Conservation
One local institution trades in such ambiguities every day. (Well, strictly speaking, it trades in such ambiguities on Thursdays through Sundays.) Shortly before I moved to L.A., I was in town visiting my sister. One afternoon, with only the barest of explanations, she took me to an unassuming storefront in Culver City. I looked at the sign and laughed: The Museum of Jurassic Technology?
"Is it… a comedy club?" I asked.
She smiled enigmatically.
The Museum of Jurassic Technology, Culver City
As my eyes adjusted to the dim light, I dutifully read every word of every label (my future as a museum editor evidently being fated). Somewhere between the animation of the Plane of Experience passing through the Cone of Obliscence (from Geoffrey Sonnabend's Theory of Forgetting and the Problem of Matter, naturally) and a gallery featuring displays of such folk practices as the duck's breath cure, mice on toast, and the malevolent uses of scissors, I turned to my sister. She was now grinning outright.
"It's all fake, isn't it?" I said. "It's a satire of a museum."
"That depends on your definition of it, is, and fake," she said.
And, I eventually realized, on your definition of satire and museum, too.
The brainchild of David Wilson, the MJT has been home for nearly twenty years to a wondrous array of permanent collections and temporary exhibitions, brilliantly (if eccentrically) curated to blend the lofty and the kitsch, the historical and the fantastical.
I take my own out-of-town guests every chance I get—of course, with only the barest of explanations when they first ask what it is.

We offer Athletics Equipment nationwide across the UK.
Young people need to develop different skills at a young age. Being experts in local primary school sports facility construction in Bower KW1 4 we can offer advice on what facilities should be installed for different establishments.
Many sports facilities can be installed in primary schools which children will enjoy. These can be installed in different designs and specifications to fit specific establishments. You can pick from a range of different colours so that the young people will be more likely to join in the sports activities.
It is recommended that you have many activities available in your school so that the students can learn new skills and take part in different types of sports. Find out more about infant athletic activities https://www.athleticsequipment.org.uk/program/infants/highland/bower/ This allows young people to find out what they enjoy and could even encourage them to continue with athletics in later years.
SPEAK TO US NOWA brand new production of affordable and sustainable outside sports areas, which serve as a stepping stone into club venues, is getting created. Many academic institutions can't get sport facilities refurbished, which means children may miss out on sporting opportunities.
Generally, academic institutions in Bower KW1 4 simply can't afford to renew their athletic areas or they haven't got enough room for the installation. In lots of organisations, compact activity facilities are being created and fitted in a smaller size to meet restricted spending budgets and also to become more cost-effective.
They're also designed to develop the FUNdamental sporting movement skills of running, jumping and throwing. If you are interested in the different facilities which we can construct, please complete our enquiry box. By filling in your details, we can get back to you with information on the costs and specifications, and can even provide you with a quote.
By installing diverse athletic facilities closest to you in Bower KW1 4 kids are capable of getting involved with many activities for a far more varied experience. A few of the widely chosen facilities consist of shuttle run tracks, throwing areas and even jogging tracks.
Medicine balls are a cost-effective way to improve health and fitness https://www.athleticsequipment.org.uk/throwing/med-ball/highland/bower/ Primary school sports facility construction can be created by setting up a single track; this may be utilised for long jump, relay races, hurdles and much more. This could be suitable for nearby schools if there isn't enough space for the standard 400m track.
As the learners can then take part in numerous activities, they might discover a certain one that they love and want to carry on in a professional sports club. There are not a lot of facilities that are aimed at people at the beginners level, which makes young people reluctant to engage in athletics.
Many experts have suggested that these sporting activities need to be made accessible for young people from as young as primary school KS up to secondary school. Find out more about secondary schools here https://www.athleticsequipment.org.uk/program/secondary/highland/bower/
A brand new sports model has been created by UKA, allowing young children to participate in sports and athletic features. This offers a cost-effective, versatile, beginners level option that makes use of attractive layouts and colour schemes created to catch the attention of brand new participants.
Compact facilities can be installed to meet just about any site and spending budget, and enable necessary athletic skills to be taught and practised, enjoyed and then bettered. Many companies choose to have long jump run ups in addition to high jump fans put in within their compact athletics facility.
We can modify the dimensions and sizes of every construction to meet the space on site. The flexibility of the design of compact athletics facilities implies that they're related to a wide range of different cases. Colleges, universities, primary and secondary schools could set up these to complement existing sport and play provisions.
Children of every key stage can benefit from personal development when learning new skills through diverse sporting activities. One reason you have to enhance your sporting facility is to inspire kids to take part in these sports activities. Smaller sized facilities are a cost-effective alternative accessible to any type of school or athletics club.
Compact features help to introduce the FUNdamentals of sports and athletics so children can build on basic skills of movement and also physical activity. UKA is looking to increase interest in the sport of athletics and bringing out accessible facilities for kids is a huge step towards this objective.
In 2017 the IPC and IAAF World Championships will be hosted in London, ideally inspiring many more young people to get involved in athletics at school or college. When using these compact sporting facilities, young children might find a specific activity they like and could join a qualified club - helping to develop participation in sports and athletics.
The sugar tax can fund many primary spaces, particularly for primary school sports facility construction. The main objective of the sugar tax is to improve the levels of fitness in young people and cut childhood obesity.
The tax on sugary drinks means that a lot of money has been generated; this money is then going to be used to fund many sporting facilities in primary schools and colleges to better children's health and fitness. The introduction of new and exciting facilities means that kids will be more likely to get involved and participate in sports activities, which overall helps to combat obesity.
The track and field industry refers to Amateur Athletic Association as AAA. Before UK Athletics, AAA was the governing body accountable for athletics. The AAA continues to exist to stand for the volunteer part of the activity - not to act as the governing body. Numerous schools along with other organisations in the United Kingdom work alongside the association.
The association delivers open forums, setting up competitive events that help with the advancement of younger sports athletes. Such challenges assist in better young people for future sporting careers.
The historical past of sports activity has also been guarded through the help of the AAA. Outstanding medals and trophies are handed out by the AAA to elite athletes. A lot more people are becoming involved in athletics due to the Amateur Athletic Association.
To be able to increase the amounts of participation in athletics with younger people, the Amateur Athletic Association run National Championships in academic establishments through the UK. The association generally give some money to such activities as a way to pay for sponsorships and various sports equipment.
The governing bodies of this sport are now UK Athletics and British Athletics; AAA represents the volunteering. The AAA creates new track and field athletic standards for various athletics events every year which is then published. Outcomes in previous years are used to produce these requirements; this then makes 4 grades where the best sports athletes could fall into.
Directories of info that have been added over time are utilized to create the performance requirements criteria. These types of requirements are given to children with badges in addition to certificates. Plaques may also be given out, by the AAA, to young people that attain Grade 1 which raises the number of individuals who participate in athletics. Small grants or loans are available to youngsters wanting to take up a career in sports and athletics by the AAA Charity for the Young.
We can provide you with much more information regarding primary school sports facility construction in Bower KW1 4 . All you need to do is send over your details by making use of the contact form provided on this page.

Since version 8.18.6 the fglrx driver includes the aticonfig tool which simplifies xorg.conf editing. Here are some useful commands this tool offers (for a complete list see aticonfig --help).
Changes taking effect on startup
Changes will change the config file!
- Initial setup (creates device section using fglrx)
sudo aticonfig --initial
- Enable Video acceleration (Xv Overlay)
sudo aticonfig -overlay-type=Xv
- Force fglrx to use kernel's AGP driver instead of own implementation (only use when internal agpgart doesn't work)
sudo aticonfig --internal-agp=off
- Note: Newer fglrx driver versions do not include an internal AGPGART so the kernel agpgart is used no matter what.
- Use extended desktop with two monitors (dual-head and big desktop)
Assuming you successfully completed the 'Ubuntu Gutsy Installation Guide' with two monitors connected:
sudo aticonfig --initial=dual-head --screen-layout=right
This command will generate a dual head configuration file with the second screen located to the right of the first screen.
sudo aticonfig --dtop=horizontal --overlay-on=1
This command will set up big desktop to horizontal and set overlay on the secondary display.
sudo aticonfig --set-pcs-val=MCIL,DigitalHDTVDefaultUnderscan,0
This command will disable underscan and saves the option until next driver update. Needed to remove black borders on some LCD displays by default.
If black borders doesn't remove try this :
aticonfig --query-monitor # to see monitors aticonfig --query-dispattrib=tmds2 #to see supported values aticonfig --set-dispattrib=tmds2,sizeX:1920 # to set X resolution aticonfig --set-dispattrib=tmds2,sizey:1080 # to set Y resolution aticonfig --set-dispattrib=tmds2,positionX:0 # to set X position to 0 aticonfig --set-dispattrib=tmds2,positionY:0 # to set Y position to 0
If you receive and error in regards to tmds2 not being valid, please see this post on the possible alternative display types. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1409508&p=8842310#post8842310
Now, black borders is really gone.
Changes taking effect immediately
Changes will not change the config file.
- Print information about power states.
aticonfig --list-powerstates
Or, for us lazy folk, the shorter version is aticonfig --lsp
- Set a power state to the lowest (battery friendly)
aticonfig --set-powerstate=1
- Note: check out available power states using aticonfig --list-powerstates
- Note: this option does not work when an external monitor is connected
- Print information about connected and enabled monitors
aticonfig --query-monitor
- deprecated by RandR
- Examples how to enable two monitors on the fly
- Assume you have two monitors already setup correctly (Dual monitor support at Ubuntuforums)
- This example enable laptop internal monitor (lvds) and external monitor (crt1)
aticonfig --enable-monitor=lvds,crt1 --effective=now
- Note: aticonfig --enable-monitor=STRING,STRING where STRING can be one of the following set, separated by commas: none,crt1,crt2,lvds,tv,tmds1,tmds2,auto.
Only 2 displays can be enabled at the same time. Any displays that are not on the list will be disabled.
- Note: check out connected and enabled monitors using aticonfig --query-monitor
- Turn off the second monitor on the fly and start to use only laptop internal monitor (lvds)
aticonfig --enable-monitor=lvds --effective=now
- Swap monitors on the fly when using big desktop mode
- Assume you have two monitors already setup correctly (Dual monitor support at Ubuntuforums)
aticonfig --swap-monitor --effective=now
- Note: This only works for big desktop setup. This will swap the contents on the two monitors.
Still not working? Go to the Troubleshooting page.
Graphical Configuration
When instaling the propietary Ati linux driver, it also can install the Ati Catalyst Control Center. With this tool you can configure Ati's driver more easily.

Yesterday was the last full day of school here in Oregon. The second grade classes went up to the third grade wing to visit the third/fourth grade classrooms.
One of the third grade teachers gave a wonderful speech about what the kids could expect in third grade.
"Boys and girls, you will learn a LOT about cursive writing in third grade."
A second grader turned to his friend and said, "WOW! I can't WAIT to learn how to write all those bad words!!"
And with that, they gave each other a HUGE high five....

Next, you're going to tell me there's an awesome Jem cake out there.
Here's the rest:
Have a Sweet to nominate? Then send it to Sunday Sweets [at] Cake Wrecks [dot] com.
When professional cakes go horribly, hilariously wrong.
Greatest Sunday Sweets. Ever. Jem and the Holograms just came back on the cable network The Hub and it makes me so happy! I tell people that I am just like Jem, mild-mannered business woman by day, rock star by night!
O.M.G. that last cake is insane! It makes me want to renew my vows just so I can have one just like it!
As another child of the 80s, I love love love these!
That was a cruel tease about Weird Al, though. We had all his records, which I copied onto tapes and listened to over and over to the point that the song "Lola" is still "Yoda" to me and always will be. I so want a Weird Al cake now!
All right, who thought of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man?
I love that there is a giant Rubik's cube and an E.T. flying across a full spherical moon!
And the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is rad man!
It makes me feel old that My Little Ponies are back...
Who's the guy in the blue suit? He's the only thing I can't ID, and the bear, though I was thinking Teddy Ruxpin there.
Love the Red Fraggle.
The new version of MLP, My Little Pony Friendship is Magic is AWESOME. Seriously, check it out people.
And can I say Horray for wedding cakes that are NOT white and pastel? I really love that black and neon one though the Best of the 80's is pretty rad too.
Love these cakes. But now I feel old what with the Delorean having a 25th Anniv and My Little Ponies being back in style.
wv:vestyle-Vestyle zee cake for any decade you vant.
A-Team and Mr. T aka B A Baracus...i love me some retro a-team!!! and thank you for the harry and the henderson's cake...i was just trying to come up with that title the other day and couldnt. loved that movie when i was a kid!! loved all of these when i was kid, but admittedly dont remember jem
Fraggle Rock
Rainbow Brite
He-Man and the Kingdom of Grayskull
Rubiks cube
Indiana Jones
Karate Kid
Cassette mix tape
Care bears
And I'm at a loss for the caped duo? Is the red on Fozzie Bear? IDK.
Oops! I forgot My Little Pony and Barbie!
I still have a My Little Pony somewhere. It was made in '83, I think.
It still smells like (false chemical) cherry marmalade.
The guy in the blue suit is Bananaman. Nickelodeon would show an occasional episode in the same block with Danger Mouse and Count Duckula.
See, to me, that was the absolute coolest thing about the cake, because I thought no one else in this country remembered Bananaman. :)
Is the guy in the blue superhero suit Bananaman? If so, that's an amazingly obscure, Nickelodeon 3 minute cartoon reference. Which says something about me....
What an awesomely amazing cake.
OMG I love My LIttle Ponies! I secretly buy them for myself, not my daughter. ;) Just kidding. I would totally have a cake like that for myself NOW.
The teddy in the red suit is Superted!
Occasionally on here it pays to be British :)
SuperTed! And Bananaman!
Awww. I thought no-one remembered them but me! I loved SuperTed so much as a kid (I had a ridiculous number of the tie-in books, and a little plastic model of him that may still be tucked somewhere in a drawer at my parents home...I suddenly feel the urge to go check...)!
I am hoping the ring bearer is the Greatest American Hero. If not he should be there somewhere.
I dressed my little boy as Chunk on his birthday last summer (Hawaiian shirt, plaid shorts)-- the adults laughed, then felt old, since the movie was turning 25... :/
So I am taking your challenge to name all the characters on the last cake to be a mind sharpening tool as I approach middle age.
Oh, my childhood in cake form! The Gizmo one freaks me out. That movie terrified me when I saw it, and I still scroll past anything Gremlins-related rather quickly. :)
Wow, I believe now that 80s cakes are the only excuse to do airbrushing... on cake.
I want to buy an airbrush... and a cake.
W.V. consters... Not sure if I remember what these are but they were awesome to the max!
Um...is it just me or does the second My Little Pony have 3 front legs and only one back leg? If I'm right it becomes a little more of a wreck than a sweet. Still,not a total loss. -Elly
Ponies. Yummy.
Aaaahhhh! That's my Jem cake! You just made my life. :)
That first My Little Pony cake was ah-may-zing!
I feel like I'm 7 again. :-D This is completely awesome.
*wandering off singing "My Little Pony" theme song*
From one Jem/Jen to another: yay, go 80's!! My dad actually found the entire Jem series on dvd and gave it to me for Xmas last year. Not only that, but I still have my My Little Pony collection, which I am passing on to my baby girl... once she's old enough to brush their hair and dress them in their outfits and keep them perfect like I did. Til then, I'll just do all that for her.
I'm not kidding.
Thanks for the totally tubular Sunday Sweets!
I'm trying to figure out what's behind the A-Team van. Are there any other pictures with different angles?
And I also loved Jem! It's hard for me to hear the word synergy at work and not giggle and/or touch my earrings.
I DID love the smell of a brand-new My Little Pony... <3
I'm a child of the 80s too, and embarrass my 16 year old horribly when I start singing Fresh Prince.
But, if you really like cake and 80s cakes you should check out the Food Network Challenge on Food Network tonight. It's all about the 80s, complete with Tiffany judging.
Wanna know the freakiest thing? When I glanced at the last cake in detail to see if that is Barbie on a My Little Pony I recognized the curtains - they look like the ones in moms kitchen...
One word... E-P-I-C!!!
Shoot. Now I have to make a Weird Al cake. Probably UHF-Beverly-Hillbillies-music-video style...as soon as the baby lets me.
Daniel doing "The Crane" on the wedding cake is priceless. I for one would want a Fraggle cake
First off, I love that when you google "weird al cake" that Pac Man cake is the third image shown.
Second (and I know that pretty much 90% of your readers immediately thought the same) when I saw the topper of that last cake, before I scrolled down I thought "I pity the fool who doesn't like this cake."
Third, why on earth is there a golf club just hanging out next to the window on Castle Greyskull, and where on earth did it go in the picture of the whole cake?
Lastly, am I reading too much into it that the numbers on the license plate in front of Gizmo are the date of my wedding (31st July '10)??
wv: jawnsi - Hey, jawnsi some cool cakes? Joo know jawnto....
Those are Pepsi cans behind the van, you can see a couple of them if you zoom in on the picture of the topper.
Love them all! I'm a child of the 80s as well. My three faves were Jem, Rainbow Brite, and She-Ra!! I wanted to BE all of them.
I made myself a Rainbow Brite cake just a few years ago for my birthday! :)
The last cake is holycowawesome! It even has Fraggles!
I was flipping through the channels 2 or 3 days ago and stumbled onto Jem playing on Hub!! Can you believe it?! And more so, can you believe that I TiVo-es the series? :) Love it!
I always hated my name growing up and would tell my my mom that when I got older I was going to change it to Princess Leia. Even though Leia rhymes with Daya, I thought it was a huge improvement!! Rock on Jem/Jen!!
You mentioned the "plastic" smell of My Little Ponies, and I pulled that right out of my memory instantly. My sister and I also had the My Little Pony sea horses for the bath. Wonder where those are in my parents house now....hmmm....
The splatter cake definitely brings back memories of my wedding! LOL LOL My brother showed up to wedding rehearsal sporting the "tux" he was wearing the next day......complete with splatter all over it. Stephen Bishop has a lot to answer for that year. LOL LOL
I literally screamed at my husband, "I WANT THAT JEM CAKE!"
Today's my birthday and I am totally loving these cakes, thank you so much, Jen!
What? No MacGyver cake?
The pink My Little Pony looks a bit like Tyra Banks. =^@.@^=
This jazz really takes me back: I had two teenagers then.
Miss those days, I do...the innocence, the music...my being in my 30's.... (SIGH)
I love the leg warmer-wearing little Barbie-type thing riding on a My Littler Pony in the last picture, and
the Moon w/ E.T is totally tubular!!!
OK, that wasn't fair. It's bad enough to realize how old Pac Man and Back to the Future are. But it's worse to have all these 80s references, and realize that you're *too old* to get some of them, because you were in junior high/high school so kid stuff like My Little Pony and Care Bears was "beneath" you… and you've never even heard of Jem until reading today's post. So, you're young enough to still call yourself an 80s kid (after all, you weren't in university yet), but too old for it to be really "kid"
But oh, do I remember mixed tapes from boyfriends. I still have them!! Need to download from iTunes the rest of those songs. I feel sorry for today's kids… iTunes is awesome, but just not the same as sitting with friends listening to an album play on the record player for the first time (eg Def Leppard's Hysteria). "Drop the needle…"
As for the cakes. That Delorean, Wow!!!! The pac man booth… well, Google's anniversary nod proved that I'm still as hopeless at that game as I was as a kid. And, I'm still using my old Sony boom box… hey, the radio is still good! (It's slightly later than the cake one, so not as distinctive 80s). Ferris Bueller, neon (perfection would have been if they'd made the bands look like headbands!). And that last cake, ok that was amazing. I'm so reposting today's post on FB.
To Squirrel:
The golfclub is obviously a reference to "Caddyshack" one the iconic 80's movies. In the large picture, it is behind the ringbearer.
That is all.
OMG I want to make a Weird Al cake now, in all my non-existent free time...would it be wrong to make one for Weasel Stomping Day? Not very 80s, but suitably disgusting and awesome.
Ah, I feel old now too. But also super nostalgic!! I'm loving the A-Team van with Mr. T hanging out the window and the itty bitty Gizmo and karate kid and well, everything!
I LOVED Jem!! Plus I always wanted my room painted with fluorescent splatter paint! My parents would never let me though.
I love these cakes. Ah - what good times growing up in the 80's!
As a small sop, here's Weird Al WITH a cake.... Scroll down a bit. http://dmdb.org/news/dsn.109.html
wv: revall. You can revall in '80's awesomeness with these cakes.
I am in love with the paint splatter cake!! I wish I would have thought of that for my wedding! I'm also loving the highschool commentary - but I don't remember any of that either:)
A child of the 80's too! Loved this...And Im listening to some Madonna too lol!
Doesn't that second My Little Pony have way too many front legs?
SaraV, I had the seahorses, too! I wish I kept all of those toys...
I just needed to pop in and say that last cake actually gave me a little shiver of delight, it was so cool-awesome-totally tubular. Perhaps it's because I was a Rubik's Cube junkie, because Rainbow Brite, Smurfs, et. al., don't really spin my pinwheel. (Although I'm hearing SO many reccs on MLP: Friendship is Magic that I'm going to have to break down and watch.)
(Goonies! Mogwai! Ghostbusters! Ok, some of the "et al." still flip my chicken)
Tonight's Food Network Challenge is Awesome 80's! This post works perfectly!
Oh my gosh, I've loved that rainbow splatter cake for ages and never been able to find out who originally made it! Now I just need someone who can recreate it for my birthday ... hopefully the result will be a Sweet rather than a Wreck!
It might not be Weird Al specifically, but there are a bunch of great accordion cakes out there! I bet you could find a great one to add to this post.
"I wonder if I could eat this cake as fast as I lose at Pac-Man."
I wonder if I could eat it as fast as Pac-Man could.
I am geeky, though not as geeky as Jen and hubby, so 60% of your CW geek references go over my head but I am so happy to report that I knew EVERY SINGLE reference in today's post. And the 80s cake with the rubix cube was totally awesome and cool bean-ish.
WV- Matickl- Your Goonies cake gave me the matickls.
One thing I DON'T miss from the 80s is being accused of buying my stuff at Kmart - as though that was about the most shameful thing you could do. That's what happened when I got a boom box for my 13th BD. EXACTLY LIKE THAT CAKE except it was a Panasonic. Just as good, right? Not to my classmates. Kids are stupid. PLUS, I'm certain my folks didn't get it at Kmart. :)
Also, what is that that Super Ted is holding?
I found a Weird Al cake. But it's not worthy of a Sunday Sweet. LOL http://www.weirdal.com/images/sarahkaskel.jpg
And not a cake, but a very cool carved Weird Al pumpkin! http://twitpic.com/noxqw
I'm glad you shared - I love Jem! I dressed up as her for halloween last year - it was epic! (My friend was Rainbow Brite!)
Wow, that 80's wedding cake is blowing my mind. ;)
AND! Jem, er...Jen you'll be happy to know that Jem is currently being aired on a channel called The Hub. I just randomly found it while flipping through the other day!
Is the Gizmo cake done with that "tip" blob thing that all the 1980s kiddie cakes with crazy moms were done in? (FYI, my mom probably spent a million hours doing a set of those one year for me and my sister a month apart for our birthdays).
I have no idea what it was called, but everybody swas selling the cake tins that were shaped and had topological surfaces that you then stood there forever with different colors and put dot after dot after dot on to make the icing face. Without knowing what it's called, I can't google it, and I can't see the Gizmo cake clearly enough to figure out if it's that kind of cake or not.
I *heart* Weird Al. Now I may have to make a cake.
Oh my God, i'm hyperventilating. So much awesome in one place.
Awesome! My now-husband made me the best 80s birthday cake ever. http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v5105/83/60/38000283/n38000283_32975908_5874374.jpg?dl=1
Oh my goodness, that is THE SAME BOOMBOX i had when I was in middle school!!!!
in cake.
oh, sweet memories.
I totally want to see a MacGyver inspired cake now...
BTW Red Fraggle and Cheer Bear just made my day.
Awesome awesome cakes :3 Love the ponies and splatter cake! And....I'm sorry, I hate nitpickers but gotta say... neither of those ponies are 80s :< Theyre the set that started in 2003, the blue is Rainbow Dash and the pink is Fluttershy (pre-Hub channel cartoon, Fluttershy was pink and neither had wings)
I WILL make an awesome MLP 80s cake sometime this year and totally send it in though :3
Bananaman and Superted aren't obscure if you're English and 31, like me. Me and my brother loved that stuff - he had Duckula wallpaper!
I could go for an 80's cake if it didn't bring back the memories.... oh the horror!
Is that.... Bananaman?! Wow. Just, wow.
Gee...my childhood cake would be Howdy Doody, Roy Rogers, and Ozzie and Harriet...
I couldn't find a Weird Al cake, but here a picture of Weird Al with a cake... http://www.weirdal.com/acf57.htm
I am in high school right now and my choir teacher got my whole class addicted to Jem like she was when she was young. GO JEM!
I wanted to be Jem growing up. I had not one but two Jem themed birthday parties. I always hated that my initials were J.E.N. Then I got married and it they became J.E.M. So I really am Jem.
Jem is one of my childhood faves along with She-Ra...wonder whatever happened to her?
I TOTALLY LOVE the Plastic 80's Toy Smell....MMMMMMM
Love the Harry and the Hendersons cake! Would make a great anniversary cake for my husband and me as we saw it on our first date: July 28, 1987.
O.M.G. That's friken' Bananaman!!!
This is now one of my favorite Cake Wrecks posts. :)
I'm a child of the 80's too. I was Jem for Halloween 2 years in a row. My mom sewed so she made my costume. I refused to wear a stupid coat too. I lived in Washington state and it was 40* and I didn't care. I was truly outrageous.
a. I am also a child of the 80's. Ergo, I love these cakes.
b. I especially love the wedding cake at the end.
c. The Food Network Challenge episode on tonight is 80's Cakes. How's that for a coincidence?
@Lori - She-ra grew up and married He-man. :)
I love the first My Lil Pony and the Jem cake! Both were my favorites while growing up--I think I still have a Pony or two in the attic. The REAL My Lil Pony, not the redos they sell at Wally World or the cheap knock offs.
First these a-MA-zing 80s cakes, which I totally want now (all of them), then I found Darkwing Duck, Duck Tales, Gummi Bears AND Punky Brewster on DVD, now Food Network Challenge is 80s-themed, complete with guest host Tiffany. Today = BEST DAY EVER!!!
Bannanman was that truly talented and brilliant triple act ,The Goodies, Graeme Garden,Bill Oddie and Tim Brooke-Taylor. SuperTed wasn't just British it was Welsh,and launched S4C the welsh language channel. Shame they didn't do Spotty Man as well....
OMG, I LOOOOOOOVE the 80's my kids think i'm weird coz of it, but i just wish there was a She-Ra cake in ... wait a minute CASTLE GREY SKULL ... THAT'S CLOSE ENOUGH ... LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!!!!!
Ummm... since when did they go from "ghetto blasters" to "boom boxes"? I didn't get that memo...
And that was pretty much the best time of my life. Just me, my ghetto blaster, and my Bon Jovi tape.
*YOU* feel old?! I was in high school when BttF came out!
wv~ mervers;
I met a bunch of Mervers at the game show convention.
Where's Strawberry Shortcake?! My Mom used to buy one for herself when she bought one for me... Now I have inherited that collection... They are all brand new, in the box!!
*sniff* this post brought a tear to the eye of this 80's kid. I remember trading furry care bear stickers, and mix-tapes that would end mid song because the person making it couldn't judge how much tape was left :) LOVE the last cake, esp the A-team van. So, so good.
Awww, Harry and the Hendersons! The last one was beyond awesome as well!
Am I the only one dissapointed that there is no Bill and Ted, Pretty in Pink or cabbage patch kids?
OH man, the ET moon on that last cake is pure genius!
I made a rubix cube cake for an engineer friend once. It looked good -- but not that good!
That last cake, and Cake Wrecks, was featured in today's edition of "Geeks Are Sexy", another blog devoted to mentions of--you guessed it--sexy geeks. Congratulations, Jen! (Or should I say, Jem?)
Tonight on the Food Network Challenge they had to do 80's cakes (it might have been a re-run...?) and none of them held a candle to the awesomeness of the cakes in this post!
Long live Plastic Ponies!!!
Wow I just loved the My Little Pony cakes. So cute. Who would eat them? Though I might be tempted to munch on Robocop just cause he looks delicious.
Feeling old is no fun, so I avoid it whenever possible. ;-)
When BTTF was made, I lived near the mall where the parking lot scenes were shot. I even saw them setting up. I didn't stick around, because I had no way of knowing that future history was being made. I should tell my then-self to go check it out. Who knows, I might will have been an extra.
What is the deal with MLP #2, anyway?
He-man couldnt marry She -ra they are twins Prince Adam and Princess Adora remember? and why hasnt anyone else mentioned Indiana Jones and the Karate kid? by the way I was an 80's Mum ! my eldest was born 1981 so that might be why I have a better memory of the decade, Superted is holding the ring cushion/box and cheer bear is holding brides posy.
that's just creepy! I started doing a My Little Pony cake for my mates 21st yesterday (Sunday)
... get out of my head Jen...
OMG that last cake was amazing :D I LOVED the goonies when I was a kid. The rest of it was amazing as well
I am all OVER that splatter paint cake! It made me want to pull on my tube socks, tie the corner of my t-shirt into one of those plastic rings, and sing Cyndi Lauper at the top of my lungs.
Puppet stole my comment. Amazing collection of cakes, but technically those are '90's ponies. Someone out there's got to have an amazing Moondancer or Posey cake, right? Cherries Jubilee? No?
Yeah, I'm a geek. I still have '80's ponies that I let my sons play with (but not me... heh, heh), and some of them still smell like new pony. *swoon!*
The 25th anniversary of Back to the Future didn't make me feel old. What made me feel old was hearing 80's music on the oldies station. It's not oldies! That's 50's or 60's. Maybe early 70's at worst. But not 80's!
If the music I grew up listening to is oldies now, that means I'm old. And I'm not old!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to shout at some young punks who won't get off my lawn.
OMG I love the MLP cakes... but honestly, Jem, Jem is outrageous!! :) I still miss that show...
Definitely greatest Sunday Sweets ever. I just stared at that splatter wedding cake for 5 minutes straight like, "Ooh, pretty..."
And the big reveal on that last cake blew my mind.
That last cake is amazing! Even the base took some special skill in designing it to look like a cassette tape. I love all of these cakes. Thanks for the memories. But I so want a Weird Al cake.
I was a child of the '80s, but My Little Pony wasn't my thing. I had a Rainbow Brite poster and a Strawberry Shortcake, but I generally avoided the "girly" stuff. Okay, I watched Jem and She-Ra, but that was as close as I got. My real passion was Voltron! I want a Voltron cake... but I can't have cake on my diet. *sad*
That Pacman machine is ace =)
Okay, Jen. This is my first time commenting, but I had to. You freaked me out a little. I had the BIGGEST crush on a guy named Lance when I was in 4th grade, made him a mixed tape and everything! LOL Love your posts! My friend Lindsey and I are truely addicted. :-)
This post is missing pre-makeover Strawberry Shortcake. ;)
I always coveted my sister's Apple Dumplin though.
OK, so I want the cassette tape cake when I turn 40 in 3 years, and if I ever get married, I TOTALLY want the neon splatter paint AND the rubik's cube wedding cakes!!!!
I feel bad now. I'm sorry if I made you mad or irritated you in any way with my comment about the lack of. I really like everything you do, really I do, and I hate feeling like maybe I hurt your feelings. So I'm sorry. We're still friends right? If yes, keep posting fab stuff :)
There's got to be a Weird Al cake out there! If there is one thing I love more than CW, it's Weird Al. Maybe I'll make one to present to him on Friday. He's in concert here and I plan on taking my 4-year-old son to introduce him to him mom's freaky addiction. LOL!
I had a FUZZY My Little Pony! And a dancing flower that wiggled any time music was played...LOVED all that stuff!
"Piece" and love?!
I'd feel sad about eating the Pony cakes. They're just too cute. I cried when people ate chocolate bunnies during Easter when I was a little girl. Hell, I still flinch when people eat chocolate bunnies and I'm 38!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the splatter cake! Frighteningly classy!
the splatter wedding cake was AWESOME TO THE MAX!! I really want one but do I have to get married to get it? (I don't want to get married- I haven't done anything wrong!)
beautiful last cake (my cat was named Staypuft)
I was way too old to be into Jem but I had the doll. Her earrings lit up. :)
-Barbara Anne
I totally want that last cake. But what about a Pound Puppy Cake? The rest of those cakes were cool too. My mom made me My little Ponies aout of cloth that were c-u-t-e cute when I was little.
OMG! Bananaman!
I don't think you could get more 80's than that last cake. Loved it!
My dear boyfriend took the reference to a Weird Al cake as a personal challenge and found this:
It's not as awesome as the rest of the cakes in the line up, but it is a nice Weird Al cake.
Nkese...love the My Little Pony cake in blue...just awesome...well done
Lynn, your Weird Al cake link made my day. Thank you!
I helped carry the last cake by Alex. It took five of us, and that was after some of it had been eaten!!
It was amazing.
Amazing! That's all I can say. I was an 80's child as well. I remember wanting an outfit like Rainbow Brite and I had almost every My Little Pony they made.
But, where are the trolls? I know they were a fad for quite a few different decades, but those were another collection of mine! LOL
Oh and LOVE the 80's rock star cake!
Rainbow Brite!!!! Well, that one sure made my day!
All that's missing is Strawberry Shortcake. The company Cake (how appropriate!) issued some Strawberry Shortcake-perfumed products and they smell *just* like my old doll did. It's like they've bottled my childhood.
Thanks for the fun walk down memory lane!
noses: The perfect word verification to go with my strawberry-scented hand cream, wouldn't you agree?
This was my most favorite post ever! I was totally singing the Jem theme song as I was reading...
wo-o-o-ah JEM! The music's contagious, outrageous, jem is my name, no one else is the same, JEM!!
Love the neon and chocolate cake. It reminds me of Oreos with Neon icing!
For those that don't recognise the two caped characters on the last cake, the one in blue/yellow is Bananaman and the one in red is Superted. Two of my favourite cartoons when I was little. Disappointed at the lack of Thundercats there though!
Okay, "young folks" point of view:
Are you sure that's not Chewbacca? And, Sloth looks like this: http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/_img/chars/char_7508.jpg (Brotherhood)
Or this: http://www.nautiljon.com/images/perso/8/3/1/sloth_138.jpg (2003 anime)
Warning, the above image may be a spoiler for FMA, depending on where you are, as Sloth is an undercover agent for the homunculi.
That was wonderful! Love going back in time when life was colorful with my toys. My friends and I would drag our little ponies over to eachother's homes to play. I had so much fun. I would play with them again. Thanks for bringing back some good memories.
I just absolutely heart the 80's. If only I could get my mom to send me some photos of my birthday cakes growing up. Each and every one had CareBear figures on them!
OMG, I LOVE the My Little Pony cakes and thanks Jen for taking me back down memory lane with the sweet, sweet smell of pony plastic!
*Sigh, the 80's were awesome and truly, truly, truly outrageous!
I've had that song stuck in my head for days, I was hoping typing it would get it out....NOPE! :)
I love these cakes!!
This might be my most favorite Sunday Sweets you've posted. Everything reminds me of my childhood. And the fact that I watch Harry and Hendersons last week takes the cake. Love it!
Just Wanted to say thanks so much for all the great comments relating to the 80s wedding cake I made.
SillyRnti, (and anyone else who's interested) there are some alternate angle and close up shots of the cake on my flickr stream, along with a full list of all the 80s references incorporated. Please feel free to check it out at http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexandrawaite/

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? ;)
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.
Payments must be made through Paypal, which accepts all major credit cards. Sorry, but that means no checks or MOs or barter-based chickens.
We ship everything first class USPS, and will do our best to have your package in the mail within 2 days of your order.

How much will my loan cost?
Taking out a loan is a big commitment. Determine what your payment will be — including interest.
Debt can cause uncertainty. Whether it's national or personal, short-term or long-term, debt rarely carries good connotations. However, being in debt doesn't have to be permanent. With discipline and good management, it's possible to get yourself back on solid financial ground.
Some may see taking out a loan as free money — funds that allow you to purchase what you want when you want it, with no immediate consequences. However, debt can quickly spiral out of control and have a lasting impact on your financial well-being.
If you find yourself in debt, don't panic: there are steps you can take now to start improving your financial health. A few factors are important to consider as you evaluate your debt. Is a portion considered "good debt," such as a student loan to pay for college? Do some loans have significantly higher interest rates than others? After taking questions like these into consideration, you also need to calculate exactly how much money you owe and start a savings plan to pay it back. Finally, once you've started getting yourself out of debt, you can begin rebuilding your overall financial health and get yourself back in good standing.
Don't wait to deal with debt. The longer you procrastinate, the more money you will eventually owe. The problem may seem overwhelming now, but the sooner you get started, the better off you'll be. Start tackling your debt now with our tips and resources below.
Taking out a loan is a big commitment. Determine what your payment will be — including interest.
Getting out of debt may feel challenging, but there are steps you can take now to help simplify the process.

Jello Biafra And The G.S.M.
For the past six years, Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine have been ripping the faces off unsuspecting audiences throughout the Americas and Europe with a live show that gives a nod to the Dead Kennedy's frontman's past and catapults his vision into the 21st century with a truckload of incisive, biting,new songs that leave no question that this is not nostalgia.
The band consisting of the double-barreled guitar attack of Ralph Spight (Victims Family,Hellworms, Freak Accident) and Kimo Ball (Freak Accident, Griddle, Mol Triffid), Bassist Larry Boothroyd (Victims Family, Triclops!, Brubaker) and drummer Paul Della Pelle (Helios Creed, Nik Turner's Space Ritual, and Philly HC legends Ruin) provides a hellacious backing track to Biafra's, more relevant than ever take on corruption, corporate McMedia making pop stars out of small-time crooks to shield the big ones, tabloid pop stars to lobotomize everyone else, our never-ending foreign-policy disasters, Christians waiting around for the Rapture to happen so Jesus can bring the oil back and more.
Their fourth release and second full length, "White People and the Damage Done" brings a road tested line-up to the studio with Biafra penning the ultimate treatise on the "Age of Austerity" and who's really responsible for it.
In the twenty years that followed the demise of the Dead Kennedy's, Biafra has devoted himself to activism,spoken word tours, collaborations with musicians as diverse as Mojo Nixon, No Means No, DOA, Reverend Horton Heat, Melvins, formed Lard with Ministry's Al Jorgenson and many other musical projects, released more than 400 records (and counting!) on his Alternative Tentacles Records label, amassed a Library of Congress sized record collection of Punk Rock and Exotica, performed as a DJ, acted in movies and television (most recently on Portlandia) and ran for the Green Party nomination for President of the United States.
Truly an original, always contraversial and confrontational, no one can doubt his punk rock bona fides. If you're at a punk show (or any kind of show for that matter) in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond, he is there. In the front row. He's a huge fan and supporter of underground music and culture.
Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine is his first real band since the DK's and his new vision is as uncompromising as ever. In 2013 saw JB&GSM at Coachella, their first Australian tour, in Europe and throughout North America. For 2014 they're touring Europe and the United States and Canada with Negative Approach.This ain't nostalgia. This is the real deal. Jello Biafra hasn't forgotten how to write or what he's all about and the message is as sharp as ever.

A new poll that gauges Americans' views of the Mormon faith served up difficult news for the nation's highest profile member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints: GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life found that 24 percent of people it surveyed expressed a negative view of the religion, with white evangelical Protestants most likely to characterize Mormonism as "non-Christian."
That a key part of the GOP base is squeamish about Romney's faith suggests that his toughest days as a candidate may be right now — during the Republican nominating contest.
A Pew analysis, however, says that the former Massachusetts governor's religion won't have major at-the-polls implications if he wins his party's nomination and runs against President Obama next fall.
Those most uncomfortable with Romney's religion are also the most motivated to remove Obama from the White House, Pew found. And just 8 percent of all Republican and Republican-leaning voters said the Romney's religion makes them less likely to vote for him.
But the details of the survey paint a more complicated electoral picture for Romney, and for any Mormon candidate, including former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, also seeking the GOP nomination. Some highlights:
For perspective on the poll, and what it might mean for Romney, we turned to religion expert David Campbell, co-author with Robert Putnam of American Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites Us.
Campbell directs the University of Notre Dame's Rooney Center for the Study of American Democracy. He describes himself as a political scientist, who also happens to be Mormon.
On how much Romney's faith will figure in the presidential race
"It is going to matter," Campbell says. "It matters now, and it will continue to matter — not that it's a liability he can't overcome, but it is a liability."
That said, Campbell suggests that it is difficult to untangle concerns evangelical Christians may have with Romney's faith and with other issues, including his support as governor of a Massachusetts health care overhaul Obama used as a model for national legislation.
"Those who have an issue with Mormonism have deep issues," Campbell says. "But most don't, and it's easy to overstate."
On whether Romney may have to again formally address his faith as he did in 2007
"I think it's unlikely that he will give a single speech," Campbell says. "He did that. It didn't seem to turn the tide for him in the 2008 race."
Campbell says that Romney's best strategy, which he has already used, will be an appeal to religious tolerance.
"That's a powerful argument to make," he says, without getting into the specifics of his religious background.
"I do not believe that Mitt Romney should be forced to answer questions about particular Mormon doctrine, or what leaders said in the 19th century," Campbell said, just as John F. Kennedy, the nation's first Catholic president, should not have been questioned about what the Pope said centuries ago.
On why there has been no change in American views on Mormonism, despite the attention of the past four years
"The most important factor that explains why an American is accepting of someone of another faith — and may feel warmly enough toward them to vote for them — is a close personal connection between that person and someone who is of that religion," Campbell says.
The nature of Mormonism makes that connection difficult.
"It's a small group, and a group that is quite insular," he says. "They do not build many bridges with others, and spend a lot of discretionary time doing church things."
That's part of the explanation, he says. Another part is geographic: the religion is also largely concentrated in the Mountain West of the United States.
"The fact of the matter is that since its founding, the LDS church has said 'we're different,'" Campbell says, adding that its rituals, while secret, are no more unusual than a Catholic Mass.
On how Romney's run will affect understanding of Mormonism
"The country will be better off in the medium- and long-term for the national discussion we're about to have," he says. "Not just about Mormonism, but about whether candidates should be questioned about religion."
In the short term, Campbell predicts that the discussion could be painful for Mormons who will see things they hold sacred ridiculed.
The process may "move Mormonism into the mainstream," he said, simply by having more factual information injected into the discussion.

Liberia's Charles Taylor Aided And Abetted War Crimes, Court Finds
Former Liberian President Charles Taylor is guilty of "aiding and abetting" forces in Sierra Leone that committed war crimes and other atrocities during a war that lasted more than a decade and left more than 50,000 people dead, the Special Court for Sierra Leone ruled today.
Taylor, the first head of state since just after World War II to be judged by an international tribunal, "knew that his support" would assist and encourage fighters who were committing war crimes, the tribunal ruled. In return, he received so-called blood diamonds from Sierra Leone.
The court proceeding in The Hague began at 5 a.m. ET, and it wasn't until after 7 a.m. ET that the judge finished reading through the judge's findings and their verdicts.
Update at 7:15 a.m. ET. Guilty Of Aiding And Abetting On All 11 Counts.
After asking Taylor to stand, Judge Richard Lussick said the court "finds you guilty of aiding and abetting the following crimes ... and planning the commission of the following crimes":
-- Acts of terrorism.
-- Murder.
-- Violence to life, health and physical well-being.
-- Rape.
-- Sexual slavery.
-- Outrages upon personal dignity.
-- Violence to life.
-- Inhuman acts.
-- Conscripting children under the age of 15.
-- Enslavement.
-- Pillage.
Taylor's sentencing hearing is set for May 16. He's to be sentenced on May 30.
On Morning Edition, NPR's Eric Westervelt spoke with Steve Inskeep about the case against Taylor.
Update at 11:30 a.m. ET. Rulings Show High-Level Leaders Will Be Held Accountable, Prosecutor Says:
Eric reports that chief prosecutor Brenda Hollis told him after the verdicts were handed down that this is an important day, "because it shows that while high-level leaders will be held to account for their crimes, that accounting will be done in a fair proceeding before independent and impartial judges."
Here's our original post and earlier updates:
Verdicts are being handed down this hour against former Liberian President Charles Taylor, who stands accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity for allegedly arming fighters in neighboring Sierra Leone in exchange for "blood diamonds."
During a brutal war that ended 10 years ago, about 50,000 people died in Sierra Leone. Taylor, who faces 11 charges, has been on trial at the Special Court for Sierra Leone in The Hague, Netherlands. "The historic verdicts at the Special Court for Sierra Leone," says The Associated Press, "will mark the first time an international tribunal has reached judgment in the trial of a former head of state since judges in Nuremberg convicted Karl Doenitz, a naval officer who briefly led Germany after Adolf Hitler's suicide."
As the AP adds:
"Prosecutors cast Taylor, 64, as a ruthless leader who as president of neighboring Liberia funneled weapons, ammunition and other equipment to Sierra Leone rebels in return for diamonds mined by slave laborers in Sierra Leone.
"The rebels from the Revolutionary United Front and Armed Forces Revolutionary Council, groups notorious for hacking off limbs, noses and lips of their enemies. Most of their surviving leaders already have been convicted and imprisoned by the court.
"In seven months on the witness stand testifying in his own defense, Taylor portrayed himself as a statesman and regional peacemaker."
We will update this post with the news as soon as it comes in. Also:
-- NPR's Eric Westervelt is due to discuss the case on Morning Edition.
-- The BBC is live blogging and streaming video from the court here.
Update at 6:45 a.m. ET. "Aiding And Abetting" Proved, Court Finds:
The court finds the prosecution has proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Taylor aided and abetted some of the crimes he's accused of, the judge says, by providing, arms, ammunition and guidance to forces in Sierra Leone.
The court has also concluded, however, that the prosecution did not prove that Taylor is individually criminally responsible for some of the crimes.
Judge Richard Lussick continues to read through the findings.
Update at 6:15 a.m. ET. Judge Continues:
Judge Richard Lussick is still reading through the court's findings — but hasn't yet gotten to its judgments. As the BBC notes, he's starting "to get a croaky throat after reading aloud for more than an hour."
Update at 5:45 a.m. ET. Reading Of Findings Continues:
"My Verbal Sparring With Charles Taylor": The BBC's Robin White reflects on his 1989 interview of Taylor that brought the Liberian to the world's attention.
The lead judge continues to read from the court's findings — but has not yet gotten to its judgments against Taylor. Note: The trial has stretched over more than three years and there have been 420 "trial days."
Update at 5:15 a.m. ET. Reading Out The Charges:
The court session is starting with a reading of the charges against Taylor and the court's conclusion that atrocities — murder, rape, sexual enslavement, the conscription of child soldiers and other crimes — did occur in Sierra Leone. It could be an hour or more, though, before the judgments against Taylor are announced and we learn whether he has been judged to be accountable.
Correction at 1:43 p.m. ET. An earlier version of this post said Taylor was tried at the International Criminal Court. He was actually tried at the Special Court for Sierra Leone, a U.N.-backed international court of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
