Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep with news of a miracle save. A one-year-old boy climbed out the window of an upper floor apartment. Suddenly that baby was dangling from an awning of a yogurt shop on Manhattan's East side. The parents were asleep. The baby fell safely into the arms of Cristina Torre. The daughter of baseball manager and former catcher Joe Torre made the catch herself. Joe Torre tells the New York Post his daughter always did have quick hands.

In some situations, the union operator ( + ) might be more useful to you than array_merge. The array_merge function does not preserve numeric key values. If you need to preserve the numeric keys, then using + will do that.
$array1[0] = "zero";
$array1[1] = "one";
$array2[1] = "one";
$array2[2] = "two";
$array2[3] = "three";
$array3 = $array1 + $array2;
//This will result in::
$array3 = array(0=>"zero", 1=>"one", 2=>"two", 3=>"three");
Note the implicit "array_unique" that gets applied as well. In some situations where your numeric keys matter, this behaviour could be useful, and better than array_merge.

Fifteen years ago if a tarot card reader had told me that fifteen years later I would not only be cooking and eating raw papaya with a smile on my lips but also forcing others to do so, I would have balked. I would have have also "pooh-poohed" away the whole idea and not paid the tarot card reader in full.
Ten years back if my daily horoscope in TOI predicted "raw papaya eating days in the near future", I would have stopped reading it then and there. Wouldn't have waited five more years. To stop reading TOI I mean.
Five years back when my Ma said I should buy raw papaya once a week and ripened papaya twice a week, I ho-hummed. "Okay, what the heck. We can do this once in a while," I told myself.
I still do it once-in-a-while. Do not have the devotion towards it like my Ma. But maybe soon. Five more years to go and we will see.
I really do not understand the Bong's uncanny diligence towards random health food items like beler paana, kaanchakolar jhol(raw plantain curry), kaancha peper tarkari(raw green papaya sabzi) and chirotar jol( a drink so bitter that it will scald your soul and detox you like no other). Either it is karma or it is evenings spent eating out egg-chicken roll, tamarind water phuchka, engine oil deep fried telebhaja and heavy on ghee(or is it dalda) biriyani. Of course too much of the latter needs to be balanced out with at least some of the former.
The bowel, and that too the Bong bowel, not to be confused with Bong baul, can take only so much.
But poor me does not eat too much of the roll and phuchka these days, and I don't have many fond memories of kaancha pepe to share. I was one of those kids who would suffer through chicken pox, mumps, measles, jaundice and typhoid in an entire school year and the jaundice only made sure that I had my fill of mulo seddho(boiled radish) and pepe seddho(raw papaya boiled) at an early age. Too much of anything good is bad for you and so there went my papaya devotion at an early age.
But this grated raw papaya sabzi is very different from the usual raw papaya curry.It elevates "pe(n)pe" to a different status. This "pe(n)pe" is fit for high heels and bejeweled chiffon. Maybe Nigella (Lawson) eats it on Saturdays. I am not sure but who knows. Not that it is better than a kosha mangsho but it is better for you.
The recipe for this grated kaancha peper tarkari is sourced from my Ma. Also my friend's Mom makes a similar dish. It is a simple dish but what with the papaya being grated and the addition of coconut makes it really good. And when I say "Papaya is good" you have to believe me. If you still have doubts go ahead and add some shrimp. It can only get better from here.
Grate half of a medium sized raw papaya in a grater.
Heat Mustard Oil
Temper the hot oil with Kalonji and slit green chillies.
Follow with a clove of garlic finely minced and quarter of an onion thinly sliced. Saute till onion becomes soft.
Next add the grated papaya. Sprinkle some turmeric powder, red chilli powder, salt and mix well.
Add 4-5 more slit green chilli and saute at medium heat. Cover and cook until papaya is almost done.
Add sugar to taste and some grated coconut. I used frozen grated coconut. Mix well and cook till everything is done. Taste and adjust for seasonings. Serve with rice.
For the shrimp option, saute some small shrimp with salt and turmeric and at the last stage mix with the papaya sabzi.

The way I nuderstand it, each value is emitted by a sequence only ONCE. If you retrieve a number (say 12) from a sequence using nextval(), the sequence will advance and subsequent calls to nextval() will return further numbers (after 12) in the sequence.
This means that if you use nextval() to retrieve a value to use as a primary key, you can be guaranteed that no other calls to nextval() on that sequence will return the same value. No race conditions, no transactions required.
That's what sequences are *for* afaik :^)

Before Bob started his first full year at a sweet co-op, we enrolled him in a fancy pants pre-school for a short summer session to work out a few tiny separation anxiety issues. The school is beautiful; a small compound that resembles a Craftsman neighborhood. The orientation video had me welling up during the montage of photos of happy multi-cultural children basking in the amazing student/teacher ratio, all set to Louis Armstrong's Wonderful World. The bill for six weeks at that shining school had me crying even more. We never harbored any fantasies that we would send him there for any longer than a month and a half only because in order to afford a full term we would have to move into a van.
The teacher in charge of Bob's class was a tall African-American man named Mr. Eric. I referred to Mr. Eric as the tantrum-tamer. He was a quiet guy with an amazing ability to calm a crying child simply by scooping them up into his arms. He guided the children seamlessly through art and water-play. He taught them table manners and sang A Ram Sam Sam at circle time. Mr. Eric had two lovely assistant teachers who helped with the home-made clay and free-play with the endless supply of age-appropriate wooden toys.
Bob loved it. I loved it more. I had the suspicion that if we could just drop our son off at three-years of age and pick him up fifteen years later, these wise and gentle folk would do a much better job of raising him than we ever could. On the last day of school, I surprised myself and cried. I cried a big hiccupy, snot-string cry. It was our introduction to Bob's school years and it had ended. We moved on to other swell schools and other wonderful teachers and I've held it together. So far.
Next week, Bob starts kindergarten. After a long-ish summer of all Bob, all the time, I am looking forward to a little three hour and twenty-five minute break everyday. Of course, I will miss him. This year school feels like it's starting too soon and at the same time not soon enough. I don't anticipate crying though, but I never do.

- T&Cs
- Bidding
Clause 1
(a) Each lot is put up subject to any reserve price imposed by the vendor
(b) Subject to sub-clause (a) of this clause, the highest bidder for each lot shall be the purchaser thereof
(c) If any dispute arises as to the highest bidder the auctioneer shall have absolute discretion to determine the dispute and may put up again and re-sell the lot in respect of which the dispute arises.
Clause 2
(a) The bidding and advances shall be regulated by and at the absolute discretion of the auctioneer and he shall have the right to refuse any bid or bids. NOTE: Where an agent bids, even on behalf of a disclosed client, the auctioneer nevertheless has the right at his discretion to refuse any such bid.
(b) The purchaser of each lot shall immediately on its sale, if required by the auctioneer, give him the name and address of the purchaser and pay to the auctioneer at his discretion the whole or part of the purchase money. If the purchaser of any lot fails to comply with any such requirement the auctioneer may put up again and re-sell the lot; if upon such re-sale a lower price is obtained than was obtained on the first sale the purchaser in default on the first sale shall make good the difference in price and expenses of re-sale which shall become a debt due from him.
(c) Where an agent purchases on behalf of an undisclosed client such agent shall be personally liable for payment of the purchase money to the auctioneer and for safe delivery of the lot to the said client.
Clause 3
(a) The auctioneer reserves the rights to bid on behalf of clients including vendors, but shall not be liable for errors or omissions in executing instructions to bid.
(b) The auctioneer reserves the rights, before or during a sale, to group together lots belonging to the same vendor, to split up and to withdraw any lot or lots at the auctioneer's absolute discretion and without giving any reason in any case.
(c) The auctioneer acts as agent only, and therefore shall not be liable for any default of the purchaser or vendor.
Clause 4
(a) Each lot shall be at the purchaser's risk from the fall of the hammer and shall be paid for in full before delivery and taken away at his expense within one day of the sale. The buyer will be responsible for all removal, storage and insurance charges in respect of any lot which has not been collected within one day of the date of sale.
(b) If any purchaser fails to pay in full for any lot within 21 days of the date of sale such lot may at any time thereafter at the auctioneer's discretion be put up for sale by auction again or sold privately; if upon such re-sale a lower price is obtained than was obtained on the first sale the purchaser in default on the first sale shall make good the difference in price and the expenses of re-sale which shall become debt due from him.
(c) Interest at 2 per cent per month and legal costs (if any) for recovery of monies due shall be payable by the purchaser on any overdue account.
Clause 5
(a) Each buyer, by making a bid, acknowledges that he has satisfied himself as to the physical condition, age and catalogue description of each lot (including but not restricted to whether the lot is damaged or has been repaired or restored).
(b) All lots are sold with all faults and imperfections and errors of description and the Auctioneer and its employees, servants or agents shall not be responsible for any error of description or for the condition or authenticity of any lot, save for Clause 5 (c) below. Written or verbal condition reports may be supplied by the Auctioneer on request but these are merely statements of opinion, and any error or omission in these reports may not be taken as grounds for a cancellation of sale or refund of any part of the purchase price or the cost of any repairs to the lot or lots reported on
(c) A purchaser shall be at liberty to reject any lot if he - (i) gives the auctioneer written notice of intention to question the genuineness of the lot within seven days from the date of sale; AND (ii) proves that the lot is a deliberate forgery and (iii) returns to the auctioneer within 20 days from the date of sale the lot in the same condition as it was at the time of sale; provided that the auctioneer may, at his discretion, on receiving a request in writing from the purchaser, extend for a reasonable period the time for return of the lot to enable it to be submitted to expertisation. NOTE: The onus of proving a lot to be a deliberate forgery is on the purchaser.
(d) Where a lot has been submitted to expertisation, all costs of such expertisation shall be paid by the person who retains the certificate of expertisation and item or items to which the certificate relates.
(e) Where the purchaser of a lot discharges the onus and acts in accordance with sub-clause (b) of this clause, the auctioneer shall rescind the sale and repay to the purchaser the purchase money paid by him in respect of the lot.
(f) No lot shall be rejected if, subsequent to the sale, it has been marked by an expert committee or treated by any other process unless the auctioneer's permission to subject the lot to such treatment has first been obtained in writing.
(g) Any lot listed as a "collection, range, portfolio etc." or stated to comprise or contain a collection or range of items which are not described shall be put up for sale not subject to rejection and shall be taken by the purchaser with all (if any) faults, lack of genuineness and errors of description and numbers of items in the lot, and the purchaser shall have no right to reject the lot; except that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this sub-clause, where before a sale a person intending to bid at the sale gives notice in writing to, and satisfies the auctioneer that any such lot contains any item or items undescribed in the sale catalogue and that person specifically describes that item or those items in that notice, then that item or those items shall, as between the auctioneer and that person, to be taken to form part of the description of the lot.
Clause 6
The respective rights and obligations of the parties shall be governed and interpreted by Irish law, and the buyer hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish Courts.
Special Conditions
a) The buyer shall pay the Auctioneer a commission at the rate of 20% (Art sales) or 24% (Collectibles sales). The Buyer's Premium is added to the hammer price of all lots and is subject to VAT at the prevailing rate.
(b) The Auctioneer or its employees, servants or agents may, on request organise packing and shipping of lots purchased or may order on the buyer's behalf third parties to pack or ship purchases. Under no circumstances does the Auctioneer accept any liability whatsoever for any loss or damage howsoever occasioned in the course of such service.
(c) The buyer authorises the Auctioneer to use any photographs or illustrations of any lot purchased for any or all purposes as the Auctioneer may require. The placing of a bid will be taken as full agreement to all the above conditions.
We hold two types of auction - TIMED and LIVE SALEROOM
WHAT IS A TIMED AUCTION?Timed auctions do not have an auctioneer calling the bids – there's just a bidding time frame and whoever bids highest during the time frame wins. Each lot can be bid on for a defined time period. At the end of this period, the bidder who has submitted the highest bid wins the lot, provided the bid exceeds the reserve price. You tell us the most you're willing to pay – and we'll bid intelligently for you, only bidding enough for you to meet the reserve or stay in the lead. Don't worry, your maximum bid is not disclosed, and is held in confidence on our bidding system.
WHEN ONLINE BIDDING STARTS - YOU CAN LEAVE BIDS online and your bid will start at one step above the previous bid or at the start price if no other bid. You will be notified by email if you get outbid before the auction starts.
ONCE THE AUCTION BEGINS TO FINISH, ON THE DATE AND TIME SPECIFIED, THE EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS CEASE and you should follow the auction on-line to see how your bids are doing. Make sure you have logged in if you wish to bid.
WHEN THE AUCTION BEGINS TO FINISH ON THE DATE AND TIME SPECIFIED,THE BIDDING FOR EACH LOT REMAINS OPEN FOR 45 SECONDS at a start price determined by the reserve or bids already received. Each lot will be open and remain open for bidding until its end time is reached; the end time will be extended by 45 seconds if another bid is received. At the end time, if there are no further bids and the highest bid received equals or exceeds the reserve price the lot is sold to highest bidder.
The Buyers Premium for Art sales is 20% plus VAT ( 24.6% gross). The Buyers Premium for Collectibles sales is 24% plus VAT (29.52% gross). The Buyers Premium will be added to your winning bid amount. Your invoice will detail all the payment, collection and shipping particulars.
If you can't attend the auction in the saleroom you can email or post or telephone bids to us, or you can book a telephone line to bid during the sale. Contact us on +353 16762888 or firstname.lastname@example.com
To bid on-line at a Live Saleroom Auction:
• Log in or register bid.whytes.ie
• Visit the online auction catalogue
• Find the lot number you are interested in.
· The current highest bid will be displayed
• The minimum bid required to beat the highest bid will also be shown.
· You can place your bid. The screen will show the new highest bid and will indicate if that bid is yours. Note: if a previous bidder has left a bid that equals yours the previous bidder will win the lot unless you outbid them. If the screen doesn't confirm that your bid is winning you will need to bid again if you wish to buy the lot. Don't worry -the system will not allow you to bid against yourself.
• The live auction will begin at the announced date and time and will be sold in lot number order by the auctioneer.
• Invoices will be issued to successful bidders on the next working day after the sale has ended.
Up to €300 x€10
Up to €700 x €20
Up to €1,300 x €50
Up to €3,000 x €100
Up to €7,000 x €200
Up to €13,000 x €500
Up to €30,000 x €1,000
Up to €40,000 x €2,000
Up to €70,000 x €2,000
Up to €130,000 x €5,000
Up to €500,000 x €10,000
Bid the maximum price you would pay for the lot; we will try and secure the lot for you at the lowest possible price. For instance if you bid €2,000 on a lot and the highest other bid we receive is €1,200 you get it for €1,250. Most people tend to bid in round numbers, e.g. €500. It's often a good idea to bid an odd number, e.g. €520, or €540 which will outbid an even number. Check the results the day after the sale: these are published on our website www.whytes.ie at about 10am on the day after the sale. Successful bidders are also notified of results by mail.
TIE BIDS: if two or more equal bids are received the lot will be sold to the first received.
The Buyers Premium for Art sales is 20% plus VAT ( 24.6% gross). The Buyers Premium for Collectibles sales is 24% plus VAT (29.52% gross). The Buyers Premium will be added to your winning bid amount. Your invoice will detail all the payment, collection and shipping particulars.

There are a number of things that can trigger the decision to remodel or move to a new home. Perhaps you have outgrown your current space, you might be tired of struggling with ancient plumbing or wiring systems, or maybe your home just feels out of date. The question is: Should you stay or should you go? Choosing whether to remodel or move involves looking at a number of factors. Here are some things to consider when making your decision.
Five reasons to move:
1. Your current location just isn't working.
Unruly neighbors, a miserable commute, or a less-than-desirable school district—these are factors you cannot change. If your current location is detracting from your overall quality of life, it's time to consider moving. If you're just ready for a change, that's a good reason, too. Some people are simply tired of their old homes and want to move on.
2. Your home is already one of the nicest in the neighborhood.
Regardless of the improvements you might make, location largely limits the amount of money you can get for your home when you sell. A general rule of thumb for remodeling is to make sure that you don't over-improve your home for the neighborhood. If your property is already the most valuable house on the block, additional upgrades usually won't pay off in return on investment at selling time.
3. There is a good chance you will move soon anyway.
If your likelihood of moving in the next two years is high, remodeling probably isn't your best choice. There's no reason to go through the hassle and expense of remodeling and not be able to enjoy it. It may be better to move now to get the house you want.
4. You need to make too many improvements to meet your needs.
This is particularly an issue with growing families. What was cozy for a young couple may be totally inadequate when you add small children. Increasing the space to make your home workable may cost more than moving to another house. In addition, lot size, building codes, and neighborhood covenants may restrict what you can do. Once you've outlined the remodeling upgrades that you'd like, a real estate agent can help you determine what kind of home you could buy for the same investment.
5. You don't like remodeling.
Remodeling is disruptive. It may be the inconvenience of loosing the use of a bathroom for a week, or it can mean moving out altogether for a couple of months. Remodeling also requires making a lot of decisions. You have to be able to visualize new walls and floor plans, decide how large you want windows to be, and where to situate doors. Then there is choosing from hundreds of flooring, countertop, and fixture options. Some people love this. If you're not one of them, it is probably easier to buy a house that has the features you want already in place.
Five reasons to remodel:
1. You love your neighborhood.
You can walk to the park, you have lots of close friends nearby, and the guy at the espresso stand knows you by name. There are features of a neighborhood, whether it's tree-lined streets or annual community celebrations, that you just can't re-create somewhere else. If you love where you live, that's a good reason to stay.
2. You like your current home's floor plan.
The general layout of your home either works for you or it doesn't. If you enjoy the configuration and overall feeling of your current home, there's a good chance it can be turned into a dream home. The combination of special features you really value, such as morning sun or a special view, may be hard to replicate in a new home.
3. You've got a great yard.
Yards in older neighborhoods often have features you cannot find in newer developments, including large lots, mature trees, and established landscaping. Even if you find a new home with a large lot, it takes considerable time and expense to create a fully landscaped yard.
4. You can get exactly the home you want.
Remodeling allows you to create a home tailored exactly to your lifestyle. You have control over the look and feel of everything, from the color of the walls to the finish on the cabinets. Consider also that most people who buy a new home spend up to 30 percent of the value of their new house fixing it up the way they want.
5. It may make better financial sense.
In some cases, remodeling might be cheaper than selling. A contractor can give you an estimate of what it would cost to make the improvements you're considering. A real estate agent can give you prices of comparable homes with those same features. But remember that while remodeling projects add to the value of your home, most don't fully recover their costs when you sell.
Remodel or move checklist:
Here are some questions to ask when deciding whether to move or remodel.
1. How much money can you afford to spend?
2. How long do you plan to live in your current home?
3. How do you feel about your current location?
4. Do you like the general floor plan of your current house?
5. Will the remodeling you're considering offer a good return on investment?
6. Can you get more house for the money in another location that you like?
7. Are you willing to live in your house during a remodeling project?
8. If not, do you have the resources to live elsewhere while you're remodeling?

Fauja Singh has decided, at the age of 101, to put his feet up and rest.
Or, at least, to stop participating in long-distance races.
The Indian-born British citizen known as the "turbaned tornado" was among the competitors Sunday at a 10-kilometer race in Hong Kong. According to Sports Illustrated, he completed the 6.2-mile course in 1 hour, 32 minutes and 28 seconds.
"I will remember this day. I will miss it," Singh said after the race, SI adds.
Back in October 2011, as we reported at the time, the then-100-year-old Singh finished Toronto's waterfront marathon in just over 8 hours, 11 minutes. He's still not in the Guinness World Records. Officials there have balked at declaring him the oldest-ever marathon runner because he can't show them a birth certificate. He does, though, have a passport that shows his date of birth as April 1, 1911.
Last summer, Singh was among those who carried the Olympic torch on its way to the Summer Games in London.

Fraudulent job offers:
Beware of fraudulent job offers
UN is aware of fictitious employment offers being circulated via email or originating from online job boards. Many of these schemes consist of an alleged offer of employment or contract with UN in return for the payment of fees or providing personal or banking information.
Please note that UN does not charge a fee at any stage of the recruitment process (application, interview, meeting, traveling, processing, training or any other fees).
Such fraudulent correspondence may appear legitimate: they may feature a UN or UN Agencies' logo, they may appear to originate from an official-looking email address or web site or they may be sent by individuals purporting to represent UN or an entity which includes the word UN in its name. These fraudulent schemes mislead individuals with the purpose to extract money and/or personal information.
UNDG/DOCO advertises its employment and procurement opportunities on its global websites (http://jobs.undp.org; http://procurement-notices.undp.org) or on the websites of its UN Country Teams (a list of which can be consulted here). Similarly UN Pakistan advertise its employment opportunities on its job portal (http://jobs.un.org.pk) or on respective agency's website (A list of agencies can be seen on UN Pakistan website).
Beware if an offer of employment looks too good to be true. Never divulge personal and banking information or send money if you are unsure of the authenticity of an email or other communication in the name of UN. If you are in doubt, please contact us for confirmation.
If you did mistakenly provide your information to a suspected fraudster, please report it to local law enforcement authorities or, if one of the two parties is based in the United States, to the Internet Crime Complaint Center for appropriate action.
Work with the United Nations to make Pakistan a better place.
The United Nations (UN) works to help the countries of the world cooperate in matters ranging from law and security to social progress and human rights. In Pakistan, 19 organisations affiliated with the UN work together for the most vulnerable people of Pakistan, supporting development and humanitarian assistance under the umbrella of the One UN - Delivering as One.
At UN Pakistan, you will have a unique opportunity to participate in decisions and actions that affect the lives of millions of Pakistanis.
We encourage all qualified men and women to apply for vacancies in UN Pakistan. We value efficiency, competence and integrity, and hire staff with suitable qualifications without distinction as to race, gender, religion or any other discriminating factor.

Q: Our parent company is located outside of Chattanooga. Are we still eligible to participate?
As long as you employ at least 15 full- and part-time permanent employees in Chattanooga, you are eligible!
Q: We have several companies operating in Chattanooga under one parent holding company. Each company has its own Employer Identification Number (EIN) and each has its own set of benefits and working environments. Do I need to register each company?
Yes, we will treat each company as a separate employer and survey them individually. Each subsidiary company must still hold to the minimum requirement of 15 full- and part-time permanent employees working within Chattanooga.
Q: We have several offices/facilities in Chattanooga that operate using the same EIN and same set of employee benefits and procedures. Should I register each company separately?
No. If you are one company with multiple locations in the program area that operates using the same EIN and same set of benefits and procedures, please submit one registration for all locations. Special exception for hotels: We understand that hotels have unique ownership and management scenarios so hotels may enter as individual locations; however, the number of US employees that you provide us with should be the number of employees who work for the same company as your employees. In most scenarios, the company used to determine the US employee count will be the company whose name appears on the employees' paychecks and from whom the employees derive their employee benefits. If you have questions about this, please contact us.
Q: My company has employees working in Chattanooga but we do not have a physical office location. Are we eligible to participate?
Yes, as long as you have employees working in the county and are able to provide an in-county mailing address for your business, you are eligible to participate. Only employees working in or directly reporting into the county are eligible to participate in the survey.
Q: Our company has employees that work for our operations within Chattanooga but technically do not perform the majority of their duties within Chattanooga. Are they eligible to participate in the survey process?
For remote employees to be eligible to participate, the individuals must report directly into Chattanooga. If the remote employees report to a remote regional manager, the employees would not be eligible to take part in the survey process. However, the regional managers are eligible to participate if they report directly to the office within Chattanooga. If you are uncertain about any employee's eligibility to participate in the survey we encourage you to contact Best Companies Group for a final determination, as surveying ineligible employees may lead to disqualification from the competition.
Q: We are a personnel placement company with associates who are technically our employees, but they work for other companies. Are we still eligible to participate?
Yes, but we will only survey the "in-house" employees. In keeping with our eligibility requirements, there must be a minimum of 15 "in-house" employees for your company to participate. Employees who are placed at other organizations will not be counted or surveyed.
Q: What if not all of the employees complete and return the surveys? Is there a minimum response rate?
The good news is we are looking for a response rate of 40% (or greater)** so it isn't necessary that every employee who receives a survey chooses to participate; however, we certainly encourage submission of honest feedback as the higher the response rate, the more representative the analysis will be of your company as a whole. This will aid in your company getting the most out of the collected data, if purchased. **Organizations with 15-24 employees must reach an 80% (or greater) response rate.
Q: What information is included in the optional Employee Feedback Report and when will we receive it?
If purchased, you will receive the Employee Feedback Report (EFR) in the form of Excel documents summarizing your employees' positive responses to the survey questions. Reports will be sent out shortly after participants are notified whether or not they made the list. The EFR also includes comments directly taken from the two open-ended questions on the survey. Program benchmarking will be sent following the publication so you can compare your organization to this year's list-making participants.
Survey Process
Q: After I register my company to participate, what happens next and when?
You will receive a welcome email and an instructions packet detailing important dates and deadlines for the program. Please refer to the Timeline for more information.
Q: How is the list determined?
Participating organizations must complete a two-part process to be considered for inclusion on the list. The first part consists of evaluating each registered company's workplace policies, practices, and demographics and is worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consists of an employee survey to measure the employee experience and is worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determine the top companies and which companies are included on the list. Best Companies Group (BCG) manages the overall registration and survey process and also analyzes the data and uses our expertise to determine the final rankings.
Q: Our company has employees in many counties and/or states. Will the survey apply to those who are out of state or county?
For this program, only employees working in, or remote and reporting to, Chattanooga are eligible to be surveyed.
Q: Our company employs seasonal, temporary, per diem and independent contractor employees. Should they be included in the survey?
No, please do not include any of the above in the survey process. We only survey full- and part-time permanent employees. Seasonal, temporary, per diem, independent contractors (1099), interns, volunteers or consultants should not be included in the survey process.
Q: Do surveys go to all of our employees?
If you have 250 or fewer eligible employees in your organization, then the answer is yes! If you employ more than 250 associates in Chattanooga, a random sample of up to 400 employees will be selected to complete the survey. We will perform this random selection for online companies based on the list we receive from you through the Email Upload Portal sent shortly after registration. Companies choosing the paper survey process will be required to perform the random selection and to explain to Best Companies Group their method of doing so.
Q: Are managers included in the employee survey?
Managers, owners, and executives should all be included in the survey process as long as they are working in or reporting directly into Chattanooga. We want to hear their opinion, too!
Q: How long will it take to complete the employee survey?
It should only take about 10 to 15 minutes for each associate to complete the employee survey.
Q: How long will it take to complete the Employer Questionnaire (EQ)? Will it require a lot of research?
The EQ may take between 2-3 hours to complete, depending on how accessible the information is regarding your company's policies, practices and demographics. We suggest viewing the sample under the Assessment Process tab to begin collecting data prior to the initial EQ launch. The EQ is completed and submitted online.
Q: How does the paper survey process work? What do employees do with the paper survey once it's completed?
We will provide postage-paid envelopes along with the surveys and suggest these be distributed upon arrival for maximum participation. Employees are encouraged to fill out and mail the survey independently. The postage-paid envelopes are pre-addressed with the name and location of our processing facility.
Q: How does the online survey process work?
Companies will submit a list of employee email addresses. We will send a direct email invitation to employees which contains unique access information where employees can submit their confidential responses via the online survey. Please note: Company email accounts work best for our survey process.
Q: Not all of our employees have email addresses. Can we still utilize the online survey?
Yes, as long as 70% of your employees have an email address. Employees without email addresses (up to 30% of the eligible employee population) can use access codes to enable them to take part in the survey. If more than 30% of employees do not have email addresses, we offer the paper survey method as an alternative so your company can still participate.
Q: Can the job role and department demographics on the employee survey be customized to more closely align with our organization?
Yes, for a fee, the job role and department demographic categories can be customized on the employee survey. After registering, a survey specialist will work closely with you to determine the appropriate categories and help you get the most out of our survey process! Additional customization options are available including location breakouts, adding additional survey questions or surveying employees outside of the program area. Please call Best Companies Group for more information or select "yes" to the customization option on the registration form and someone will contact you with more information. What is customization?
Q: A portion of our employees do not speak English. Do you offer employee surveys in alternate languages?
We do offer employee surveys in a variety of additional languages! There will be a $215 fee per language to cover the cost of translation. Please select "yes" on the registration form to request additional language surveys. Spanish and French surveys are available in both the online and paper versions of the survey.
Q: How will my company be notified throughout the survey process? Will I receive regular updates?
You will receive regular periodic email updates throughout the survey process. We've also included the Timeline on the website, as well as in the instructions packet (sent to all registered companies at registration) for easy access. Each organization is responsible for meeting all deadlines and completing each step in the process.
Q: When will we find out if our company made the list and where we rank?
You'll receive the news via a notification letter informing you of whether or not your company has made the list. Rankings of all list-making companies will be revealed shortly after the notification. See the Timeline or Notification page for more details.
Q: Can my company see the surveys before we sign up to participate?
Certainly! Please see the Assessment Process page for samples of each survey.
Q: I am concerned about the confidentiality of the survey responses.
We will make every effort to maintain the anonymity of employee responses and protect all summarized data provided by your organization during this process. In keeping with this level of confidentiality, we do not report any response data for less than five individuals in any one demographic category on the Employee Demographic Report, if purchased. Please see our Statement of Confidentiality for more information.
Q: What happens if we don't make the list?
In the event that you enter the program, but do not make the list, only you will receive notification of that result. We will not release the names of organizations that do not make the list. You will still receive your Employee Feedback Report, if purchased, and will then have the opportunity to focus on areas to improve your organization and potentially improve your standing the next year. We believe that all workplaces can be great, if energy is spent listening to employees and taking their feedback to heart.
Q: How many companies participate in this program each year?
Best Companies Group has very high confidentiality standards in place to protect companies that don't make the list. We never release the number of participants in any of our programs, for any reason.
Q: Why should I choose this survey over other "Best Place to Work" programs?
We know the ins-and-outs of employee surveying:
BCG has spent more than a decade focused solely on survey administration and data-reporting services.
Our team of friendly professionals has a strong track record of delivering exceptional, one-on-one customer service.
We've spent years developing credible survey tools and valuable and actionable response data reports.
We conduct annual surveys for thousands of employers all over the United States and internationally, resulting in a robust database of employee response feedback and trends in workplace benefits for benchmarking and comparative analysis.
Plus, we offer a two-part survey process. We collect data from both the employer and employee and use both data sets to determine the best workplaces.
Looking for participant-specific information (your company's report or instructions packet, perhaps)? Please check your email for messages from Best Companies Group. If you can't find what you're looking for, please contact your program coordinator directly for assistance.
Q: Who can I contact with additional questions?
Q: Does Best Companies Group have any other programs or conduct any other surveys or services?
Yes! Best Companies Group is identifying and recognizing great workplaces on national, state, regional and industry stages. For a complete list of programs or to learn more about our additional services, please visit www.bestcompaniesgroup.com.

More than half of American voters in a new Quinnipiac University national poll say that Edward Snowden is a whistle-blower, not a traitor. Interviewers asked more than 2,000 people about the National Security Agency contract worker who leaked secret documents about U.S. surveillance. They also asked about the line between privacy and security.
In the poll conducted from June 28 to July 8, interviewers called 2,014 registered voters on their landlines and cellphones. They were asked, "Do you regard Edward Snowden, the national security consultant who released information to the media about the phone scanning program, as more of a traitor, or more of a whistle-blower?"
In their responses, 55 percent called Snowden a whistle-blower, with 34 percent saying he is a traitor. Roughly the same percentage of Democrats (39 percent) and Republicans (38 percent) -- said Snowden is a traitor.
"Almost every party, gender, income, education, age and income group regards Snowden as a whistle-blower rather than a traitor," the Polling Institute said in a release accompanying the data. "The lone exception is black voters, with 43 percent calling him a traitor and 42 percent calling him a whistle-blower.
And in a finding that could indicate a broader shift in attitudes on security and privacy, Quinnipiac reports that 45 percent of the respondents said the U.S. government's anti-terrorism policies go too far in restricting the civil liberties of average people -- compared to just 25 percent who agreed with that idea in January of 2010.
"Some of the largest growth in those concerned about the threat to civil liberties is among men and Republicans," the polling organization says, "groups historically more likely to be supportive of governmental anti-terrorism efforts."
The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.2 percentage points.
As we reported Tuesday, Snowden is currently believed to be at Moscow's airport, hoping to elude capture by U.S. agencies and weighing his options. Last night, reports emerged that he may seek asylum in Venezuela.

Right now, the housing market is full of outstanding opportunities for both buyers and sellers. Whether you're thinking of buying your first home, moving up to a bigger one, or selling so you can downsize this spring, there are perks today that are powering big moves for people across the country. Here are the top two to keep on the radar this season.
The Biggest Perk for Buyers: Low Mortgage Rates
Today's most compelling buyer incentive is low mortgage interest rates. The 30-year fixed-rate is now averaging just over 3%. While that's slightly higher than the record-lows from 2020 and earlier this year, it's still way lower than historic norms, making purchasing a home an ongoing perk for hopeful buyers (See graph below):This is a huge advantage for buyers and helps to make owning a home attainable for more households – and there's good reason to strive for homeownership. The latest Homeowner Equity Report from CoreLogic shows how homeowners saw major gains in their net worth last year, all thanks to owning a home. Frank Martell, President and CEO of CoreLogic, explains:
"Positive factors like record-low interest rates and a booming housing market encouraged many families to enter homeownership. This growing bank of personal wealth that homeownership affords was noticed by many but in particular for first-time buyers who want a piece of the cake. As a result, we may see more of those currently renting start to enter the market in the near future."
Low mortgage rates are a plus for buyers right now, but experts forecast we'll see them continue to rise as the year goes on. If you're ready to purchase a home, it's wise to get started on the process soon so you can secure today's comparatively low rate.
The Biggest Perk for Sellers: Low Inventory
Today, there are simply not enough houses on the market for the number of buyers looking to purchase them, and it's creating a serious sellers' market. According to Danielle Hale, Chief Economist at realtor.com:
"Total active inventory continues to decline, dropping 50 percent. With buyers active in the market and sellers still slow to put homes up for sale, homes are selling quickly and the total number actively available for sale at any point in time continues to decline." (See map below):
The lack of houses for sale continues to challenge the market, and with low mortgage rates fueling buyer demand, homes are hard for buyers to find today. According to the latest Realtors Confidence Index Survey by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the average house is now receiving 4.1 offers and is on the market for only 20 days.
Buyers are clearly eager to purchase, and because of the shortage of inventory available, they're often entering bidding wars. This is one of the factors keeping home prices strong and giving sellers leverage in the negotiation process.
Homeowners who are in a position to sell shouldn't wait to make their move. There's a light at the end of the tunnel for today's inventory shortage, so listing this spring will get your house on the market when conditions are most favorable. With low inventory and high buyer demand, homeowners can potentially earn a greater profit on their houses and sell them quickly in the fast-paced spring market.
Bottom Line
Whether you're thinking about buying or selling a home, there are major perks available in today's housing market. Let's connect today to discuss how these favorable conditions play to your advantage in our local area.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — UFO buffs and believers in alien encounters are celebrating the CIA's clearest acknowledgement yet of the existence of Area 51, the top-secret Cold War test site that has been the subject of elaborate conspiracy theories for decades.
The recently declassified documents have set the tinfoil-hat crowd abuzz, though there's no mention in the papers of UFO crashes, black-eyed extraterrestrials or staged moon landings.
Audrey Hewins, an Oxford, Maine, woman who runs a support group for people like her who believe they have been contacted by extraterrestrials, said she suspects the CIA is moving closer to disclosing there are space aliens on Earth.
"I'm thinking that they're probably testing the waters now to see how mad people get about the big lie and cover-up," she said.
For a long time, U.S. government officials hesitated to acknowledge even the existence of Area 51.
The CIA history released August 15, 2013, not only refers to Area 51 by name and describes some of the aviation activities that took place there, but locates the Air Force base on a map, along the dry Groom Lake bed.
It also talks about some cool planes, though none of them are saucer-shaped.
George Washington University's National Security Archive used a public records request to obtain the CIA history of one of Area 51's most secret Cold War projects, the U-2 spy plane program.
National Security Archive senior fellow Jeffrey Richelson first reviewed the history in 2002, but all mentions of the country's most mysterious military base had been redacted. So he requested the history again in 2005, hoping for more information. Sure enough, he received a version a few weeks ago with the mentions of Area 51 restored.
The report is unlikely to stop the conspiracy theorists. The 407-page document still contains many redactions, and who's to say those missing sections don't involve little green men?
It's not the first time the government has acknowledged the existence of the super-secret, 8,000-square-mile installation. Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush referred to the "location near Groom Lake" in insisting on continued secrecy, and other government references date to the 1960s.
But Richelson, as well as those who are convinced "the truth is out there," are taking the document as a sign of loosening secrecy about the government's activities in the Nevada desert.
The site is known as Area 51 among UFO aficionados because that was the base's designation on old Nevada test site maps. The CIA history reveals that officials renamed it "Paradise Ranch" to try to lure skilled workers, who can still be seen over Las Vegas flying to and from the site on unmarked planes.
Beginning with the U-2 in the 1950s, the base has been the testing ground for a host of top-secret aircraft, including the SR-71 Blackbird, F-117A stealth fighter and B-2 stealth bomber. Some believe the base's Strangelovian hangars also contain alien vehicles, evidence from the "Roswell incident" — the alleged 1947 crash of a UFO in New Mexico — and extraterrestrial corpses.
The CIA history mentions an "unexpected side effect" of the high-flying planes: "a tremendous increase in reports of unidentified flying objects." The report notes that the U-2 and Oxcart planes, which flew higher than civilians believed possible, accounted for half of UFO sightings during the 1950s and '60s.
A likely story, said Stanton Friedman, a self-described Ufologist from Canada.
"The notion that the U-2 explains most sightings at that time is utter rot and baloney," he said. "Can the U-2 sit still in the sky? Make right-angle turns in the middle of the sky? Take off from nothing? The U-2 can't do any of those things."
Even for those who do not believe in UFOs, the mystery surrounding the site — situated about 100 miles northwest of Las Vegas, across miles of desert speckled with Joshua trees and sagebrush — has been a boon.
One Nevada bicycle event company produces an "X Rides" event that incorporates mountain biking near a certain heavily guarded patch of Nevada desert. Las Vegas' minor league baseball team is called "the 51s."
Small-town restaurants along State Route 375, officially designated the Extraterrestrial Highway, sell souvenir T-shirts to tourists making their way to the boundary of Area 51, which consists of a no-trespassing sign, an armed guard on a hill and a surveillance camera.

It's guaranteed to be hectic right before closing, but you should always make time for a final walk-through. Your goal is to make sure that your home is in the same condition you expected it would be. Ideally, the sellers already have moved out. This is your last chance to check that appliances are in working condition and that agreed-upon repairs have been made. Here's a detailed list of what not to overlook for on your final walk-through.
Make sure that:
- Repairs you've requested have been made. Obtain copies of paid bills and warranties.
- There are no major changes to the property since you last viewed it.
- All items that were included in the sale price — draperies, lighting fixtures, etc. — are still there.
- Screens and storm windows are in place or stored.
- All appliances are operating, such as the dishwasher, washer and dryer, oven, etc.
- Intercom, doorbell, and alarm are operational.
- Hot water heater is working.
- No plants or shrubs have been removed from the yard.
- Heating and air conditioning system is working

Butterscotch Swirl Cake
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I'm honestly not sure where to start with my review of today's recipe. I saw it in Taste of Home magazine several years ago, but, for whatever reason, I postponed giving the recipe a try. While I was curious and absolutely love the flavor of butterscotch, I was put off by the ingredient list and the time required to make the cake. I could tell from the photo that its frostingless nature would make it perfect for toting to meetings or alfresco meals, but I wasn't sufficiently swayed to begin cracking eggs or taking whisk to hand. I've had an awful of of people traipsing through the house this summer, and that amount of company means an awful lot of baking. To avoid repetition, I decided to try some new things, like this cake. After all, how bad can anything made with this much butter and sugar be? As it turns out, I can recommend the cake it, but only conditionally. My palate kept picking up the exaggerated flavors of artificial butterscotch and rum and I wasn't thrilled. The rest of my tasters, however, loved the cake and it was gone within the day. Since mine was the only dissenting vote, I'm going to share the recipe with you today, despite my personal reservations. Here's the recipe for those of you I haven't scared away.
Butterscotch Swirl Cake...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Taste of Home magazine
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
6 eggs
3 teaspoons rum extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant butterscotch pudding mix
3/4 cup butterscotch ice cream topping
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons 2% milk
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10-inch fluted tube pan.
2) In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add 5 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in extracts. Combine flour, baking soda and baking powder; gradually add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beating well after each addition.
3) Transfer 2 cups of batter to another large bowl; beat in pudding mix, butterscotch topping and remaining egg until well blended. Pour half of plain batter into prepared pan. Top with half of the butterscotch batter; cut through with a knife to swirl. Repeat layers and swirl.
4) Bake for 65-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
5) For glaze, in a small saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar and milk. Bring to a boil. Remove from the heat; add confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Beat until smooth and creamy. Drizzle over cake; sprinkle with pecans. Yield: 12 servings.

We love butterscotch, but that does look like a lot of work. So pretty, though!

I have to say, I adore butterscotch but I've never tried any cake recipe with the word "instant" in its ingredient list.
- August 7, 2011 at 1:16 AM

I feel the same way about some lengthy ingredient lists. The cake looks lovely though, so I do hope it was worth the wait.

Oh-My-Word...This butterscotch cake looks absolutely beautiful, Mary! I'm in love with that second photo...breath-taking click.
Yes, I agree. Love trying new things :)
Have a lovely day!

I can't imagine better cake for sunday afternoon cofee.Looks great:)

I don't know about the taste, but the cake is picture perfect... but then again, so is everything you make! Pretty... And I think I would still love it because it is butterscotch - real or fake :) Thanks for sharing, Mary!

Your cake looks pretty good to me! I love butterscotch but I have not seen instant butterscotch pudding mix before, it is really interesting! Thanks for sharing, have a lovely week ahead!

Well, I am not sure where I could find 1 package of instant butterscotch pudding mix
and butterscotch ice cream topping,
but I love the photo of the slice, very inspiring :-)

It is really a beautiful cake! What perfect marbling, Mary! And the elegant topping is just perfect, too. But thanks for the honest opinion. My dad baked cakes with boxed pudding inside and we loved them, but, like you, we are now used to homemade so I fear that we would sense the artifical flavors. But it certainly was worth the try and a lovely picnic or brunch cake it is.

- Tracy's Living Cookbook said...
You are right-that ingredient list might put some people off! But I love bundt cakes, and yes, they are perfect for toting! It is a beautiful cake with the frosting and the perfect swirls!
- August 7, 2011 at 7:26 AM
- Barbara said...
It's a lovely cake, Mary and I do love butterscotch, but for some reason, I've never liked boxed butterscotch pudding. The only reason I would make this is your comment about everyone else liking it. That counts for something, right? Especially when you want to offer something new and different.

so funny the way some people go crazy over a recipe while others can do without...at least you made some people happy with this cake!! :)
- August 7, 2011 at 8:09 AM
- Susan Lindquist said...
Perfectly gorgeous cake! Maybe backing off on the rum extract and using real rum might take that strange'tang' from the taste ... I love the idea of butterscotch as it's not a flavour that I often come upon in baked goods ... I think I will make this cake the next time there's a crowd coming for dinner!

I just love butterscotch but might be a bit put off by the lengthy list of ingredients too. Thanks for making it and reviewing it for us.
- August 7, 2011 at 8:41 AM
- Kim said...
The cake looks good, but I agree with you, the list of ingredients, instant butterscotch pudding???? I know what you mean... This is probably the kind of cake that would please my familly, although!

Good morning, Mary. It looks like I'm just in time for Butterscotch Cake.
Oh wait, it's all gone. I can certainly understand why. It looks so inviting. Sometimes, the eyes are all that is needed to enjoy.
Thanks for sharing... - August 7, 2011 at 8:56 AM
- Sue/the view from great island said...
I get a knee jerk mistrust of any recipe with this many ingredients, but then again I'm a big bundt cake fan. I know what you mean about artificial flavors, they can really stick on the tongue. Looks gorgeous, though!

This sounds very good! I love butterscotch.
- August 7, 2011 at 9:02 AM
- Andrea @ Vegvacious said...
I have to say that it certainly does look pretty! I have to admit that other than trying my hand at Monkey Bread, I've never made anything in a bundt pan....in fact I don't even own one!!

Mary, I have to vote for a 'Yes'! Cause I'm a big fan of butterscotch. :o)
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Mary, the cake looks beautiful and I love your honest review! I love butterscotch so I will be anxious to give this one a try, especially with a family full of butterscotch lovers too. I think I'll save this one for Labor Day weekend, it will be perfect. Many blessings to yoU! ~C.

I am not a fan of butterscotch but my husband loves it and begs me to make a butterscotch cheesecake because that's the only butterscotch recipe I have. Well, now I have two and he would love me to make this and I will be doing so as soon as possible. Your baking is impeccable, Mary. I can only hope it comes out half as good looking as yours.

Love butterscotch n this is so so yummy..

i have yet to make a swirl cake! perhaps my next endeavor? :) butterscotch sounds fabulous!

That sure is one beautiful cake!

- Janie said...
I am going to try this because I love Bundt cakes. They are easy to make, transport and freeze!
BUT I am not a fan of run flavoring, so I am going to leave it out..
I am thinking that one with chocolate swirl would be good to.
Question..does anyone know if it has to be "instant" pudding or can it be regular? - August 7, 2011 at 2:24 PM
- SweetSavoryPlanet said...
My kids love butterscotch. I think it is pretty good myself.
Beautiful cake! - August 7, 2011 at 4:03 PM
- Foodiewife said...
Let's face it. You're a purist, in that I rarely see package mixes in your recipes. It's one of the reasons I love your blog. I appreciate your honesty. My guess is that most of my friends and family would love this, and I probably would too. I have a dangerously huge sweet tooth, so most any dessert temps me more than a savory one. You still made it look lovely.
- August 7, 2011 at 6:30 PM
- Unknown said...
I guess they all can't be home runs, right? It looks lovely no matter how it tastes :)
- August 7, 2011 at 8:09 PM
- Karen (Back Road Journal) said...
I'm going to go with your great taste buds and pass even though others that tried it said it was good. I think that it could probably be reworked by your excellent hands and if so, we will see a revision. I'm sure it was good but just not up to your standards.
- August 7, 2011 at 8:18 PM
- Unknown said...
One of the reasons I'm not a fan of most butterscotch things is exactly what you pointed out. It always tastes artificial to me.
- August 7, 2011 at 8:58 PM
- Joanne said...
I have a feeling that the more we bake with real ingredients, the more we begin to be able to taste the artificial in recipes like this. But to everyone else, they taste great!

hi mary, i wouldnt mind getting a piece of this even if it's using instant pudding mix, you already made this looks so good!

Mary...I was just talking about butterscotch in cakes and here I got a good :) thank you for sharing this...I will make this as soon as I make the butterscotch sauce for this cake :))
Have a great day....
Elin - August 8, 2011 at 4:53 AM
You had me at butterscotch and then kept me with the caramel. Thank you!
Karen - August 8, 2011 at 9:53 AM
The cake looks lovely but I wouldn't make a cake with instant pudding mix in it either. Maybe your tasters didn't know about the mix! :)

Oh my goodness, I ran across this on Pinterest and was excited to see it was your post, Mary! I felt the same way about this cake, but I did win a blue ribbon for it at the fair last year so I think we're in the minority! Definitely not my favorite cake. But I know the woman who created the recipe (she's an online buddy I met on myspace and is a field editor for TOH)--she has won a blue ribbon for it at her state fair in California for the past 10 years or more! So yeah, we're the black sheep I guess. :)

We could take a little refresher course on why Cupcake Cakes are evil. After all, what better way to celebrate the cupcake than by protecting it from unholy perversions which must be stopped before cake art as we know it is ruined beyond all saving!?!
[patting down hair]
Yeah, I like Option B better, too.
There are two types of CCCs: your basic, all-slathered-together model:
And the "mosaic" style, wherein the cupcakes are each iced separately:
As you can see, both types of CCC are what baking industry insiders refer to as "fugly."
Plus, cupcake cakes come with enough frosting to induce a diabetic coma merely by being within a ten-foot radius. Usually we're spared this sight because CCC photos are taken from directly overhead, but you can sort of see what I'm talking about here:
CCCs almost always result in shapes that baffle the imagination. If you wanted to put that in a positive light (which I don't) you could say they're like edible Rorschach tests (so I won't). And so one person's hamburger becomes another's highway o' caterpillars:
One person's flip-flops becomes another's necklace-wearing alien blobs with hives:
Or one person's [Note to John: what the heck is this? Find out and insert here] becomes another's Mardi Gras cactus mask:
Rather than fighting back against the evil infiltrating their bakeries, I'm afraid most Wreckerators have simply given up:
Others write us little clues on the cake board:
