So, what does it all mean??? If you are a
If you are a Dog : A very loyal and sweet person. Your loyalty can never be doubted. You are quite honest and sincere when it comes to your attitude towards working. You are a very simple person, indeed. Absolutely hassle free, humble and down-to-earth!! That explains the reason why your friends cling on to you! You have a good taste for clothes. If your wardrobe is not updated with what is trendy, you sure are depressed. Popular and easy-going. You have a little group of dignified friends, all of them being quality-personified. Re post This If It's True For You.!!
If you are a Mouse : Always up to some sort of a mischief! The mischievous gleam in your eyes is what makes you so cute and attractive to everyone. You are an extremely fun-to-be-with kind of person. No wonder people seek for your company and look forward to include you for all get-together's. However, you are sensitive which is a drawback. People need to select their words while talking to you. If someone tries to fiddle around and play with words while dealing with you, it is enough to invite your wrath. God bless the person then! Re post This If It's True For You.!!
If you are a Lion : Quite contradictory to your name, you are a peace loving person. You best try to avoid a situation wherein you are required to fight. An outdoor person, you dislike sitting at one place for a long duration. Popular and easy-going. You are a born leader, and have it in you how to tactfully derive work from people. People love the way you always treat them. You love being loved, and when you receive your share of limelight from someone, you are all theirs!!!! Re post This If It's True For You.!!
If you are a Cat : An extremely lovable, adorable person, sometimes shy, with a passion for quick wit. At times, you prefer quietness. You love exploring various things and going into depth of each thing. Under normal circumstances you're cool but when given a reason to, you are like a volcano waiting to erupt. You're a fashion bird. People look forward to you as an icon associated with fashion. Basically, you mingle along freely but don't like talking much to strangers. People feel very easy in your company. You observe care in choosing your friends. Re post This If It's True For You.!!
If you are a Turtle : You are near to perfect and nice at heart. The examples of your kindness are always circulated in groups of people. You, too, love peace. You wouldn't like to retaliate even to a person who is in the wrong. You are loved due to this. You do not wish to talk behind one's back. People love the way you always treat them. You can give, give and give love, and the best part is that you do not expect it back in return. You are generous enough. Seeing things in a practical light is what remains the best trait of you guys. Re post This If It's True For You.!!
If you are a Dove : You symbolize a very happy-go-lucky approach in life. Whatever the surroundings may be, grim or cheerful, you remain unaffected. In fact, you spread cheer wherever you go. You are the leader of your group of friends and good at consoling people in their times of need. You dislike hypocrisy and tend to shirk away from hypocrites. They can never be in your good books, no matter what. You are very methodical and organized in your work. No amount of mess, hence, can ever encompass you. Beware, it is easy for you to fall in love....
Re post This If It's True For You.!!
If you are a Panther : You are mysterious. You are someone who can handle pressure with ease, and can handle any atmosphere without going berserk. You can be mean at times, and love to gossip with your selected group. Very prim and proper. You like all situations and things to be in the way you desire, which, sometimes is not possible. As a result, you may lose out in some relationships. But otherwise, you love to help people out from difficult and tight spots when they really need you.
Re post This If It's True For You.!!
If you are a Monkey : Very impatient and hyper!!! You want things to be done as quick as possible. At heart, you are quite simple and love if you are the center of attraction. That way, you people are unique. You would like to keep yourself safe from all the angles. Shall your name be dragged or featured in any sort of a controversy, you then go all panicky. Therefore, you take your precautions from the very beginning. When you foresee anything wrong, your sixth sense is what saves you from falling in traps. Quite a money minded bunch you people are!!

Emile B. wrote:"I find it remarkable that there is no shortage of literary academics who will claim for their work some political or social value after the fact of its creation, but there are precious few who will claim that their work was written with genuine political or social intent in mind before its inception."
Emile B. also wrote:"I have always presumed throughout this blog debate that the best scholars are those who could do something other than read texts, attend department meetings, publish, and teach. In other words, they can and do choose to do something else. Of course, I've argued there are more meaningful things to do, but at the very least it would be refreshing to see a scholar overcome his or her ego investments and admit he or she chose to do something less meaningful than something else. This is another version of my overarching argument against moral vacuousness."
It may be that we are approaching the law of diminishing returns, or perhaps just circling and circling and making no *real* headway in this discussion, and I think what I would ultimately like to see is an even more formal debate, or set of debates, that would actually move us--"ultimately ultimately"--in the direction of something like humanities curricula reform [which BABEL is aiming at], and even a re-envisioning of various ways in which cultural critics and artists can work together toward real social change, while at the same time, we'll have to cut some of our so-called "losses" and run with them--i.e., yes, yes, yes, some of us are not saving people in burning buildings or working for NGOs in Sudan or counseling war veterans and we do not want to argue that writing about Shakespeare and Foucault is more important, or let's say "socially useful," than those things--but this may be a moot point if we start all over and say something like, "it's not about deciding who is doing *real* cultural-social-political work and who is not, but is pretending to [after all, doesn't this smack, just a little bit, of the kind of privileging that can simply shut down possibly beneficent avenues of intellectual and other kinds of "work"?]; rather, it's about each individual recognizing what their true talents and gifts are, as well as commiting themselves to developing those talents and gifts in deep ways, and then plying their particular chosen 'trade' with as much ethical commitment as possible and also with the *hope* that what they do might matter somehow." It's a question of a seriously committed ethico-critical POSTURE as much as it is of supposedly measurable RESULTS, in other words. And yes, I'm talking about virtue. Which is not to say virtue cannot be measured--I realize that it can be, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Now if, as E.B. argues over and over again, that he just wishes people would "own up" more to what it is they are really supposedly all about [i.e., stop claiming your work is social or political when it's just writing about literature and has no "real world" effects], have you forgotten about Stanley Fish? Hell, he "owns up" to that all the time, and as a reult, is always rankling his critical theory/literary studies cohorts. Plenty of scholars own up to it all the time. As to those who do not, let's divide them into two groups, and say that one group spends a lot of time loudly declaiming the socio-political intent & impact of their scholarship, and get a lot of career mileage out of that as a result, and spend no time worrying about the fallout from the fact that they have't helped anyone but themselves, and they have expended a lot of ink and silicon chip power on words, words, words, words, words for . . . nothing [but hey, probably an overtstatement on some level, nevertheless, since the laws of physics teach us that any kind of expended energy at all has to "go" somewhere and "do" something, but still . . . .]. Let's say that the other group, which I very much believe includes myself, JJC, Kofi, Dr. Virago, and quite a few others, do in fact write their work "with genuine social intent in mind *before* its inception." [...]
To be moved, however slightly, out of oneself, is the beginning of ethics. If we can achieve this in an hospice or the quiet of a scholar's study, it is a small miracle. And I say we have to do both, and when E.B. asks us to consider doing both--of course. Let's keep considering it, but together, and not apart, with amity, and not with rancor, with regard [and love] and not dimissiveness. Yes, it's important every now and the to call bullshit "bullshit" and to tell the emperor he is naked, but then . . . what next? Let's get together do that "something else" E.B. is referring to . . . together.
Cheers, Eileen
[edited later in the day to remove some praise of my own work -- the post wasn't supposed to be about me, or a horn-tooting occassion, but about moving onwards]

Peterson Comes Up Just Short, Cowboys Miss Playoffs: Week 17 Storylines 0
The final week of the 2012 NFL season was just as good as the first 16 were. With 16 division matchups on the schedule, it had it all: shutouts, blowouts, third-string quarterbacks, elimination games, records being chased and of course another opportunity for Tony Romo to choke. (He did). For the last time in 2012, your storylines from the week that was in pro football.
Adrian Peterson came within eight yards of tying and nine of breaking the NFL single-season rushing record, but with time running out in the game, Blair Walsh kicked a 29-yard field goal to break the tie and send the Vikings to the playoffs, ending Peterson's regular season. Minnesota defeated the Packers, 37-34, for their first win against their division rivals since 2009. The loss also ended Green Bay's 12-game division winning streak. Peterson did become just the seventh running back to ever rush for 2,000 yards in a season as he concluded the regular season with 2,097 yards on the ground. The Packers had won nine straight regular season finales before the loss. Aaron Rodgers threw four touchdowns in a game for the fourth time this year, including two to Greg Jennings. Walsh added to his NFL record with his 10th field goal of 50-plus yards on the season. Peterson finished the season with seven 150-plus rushing games, tying the NFL record. Minnesota has made the playoffs for the first time since 2009. The Packers, who finished the regular season at 11-5 and the Vikings, who finished 10-6, will play each other on Saturday in the Wild Card round.
The good news: the Colts won their regular season finale. The great news: Chuck Pagano was back on the sidelines to coach it. J.J. Watt failed to get any sacks and finished two shy of the NFL single-season record as the Texans lost to the Colts to fall all the way to the third seed in the AFC, missing the bye they had been in position for all season long. Watt finished with 20.5 sacks on the year. Houston has never won at Indianapolis – now 0-11 all-time with the 28-16 loss on Sunday. A career-long 70-yard TD pass from Andrew Luck to T.Y. Hilton on 3rd & 23 all but sealed the win for the Colts. Deji Karim returned a second-half kickoff 101 yards for Indy, their longest return since 1973. Andre Johnson tied the career record of 10-reception games set by Wes Welker last week with the 18th of his career. Reggie Wayne now has at least three catches in 64 straight games, extending his NFL record. The Colts became the seventh team to improve by nine wins in just one year, going from 2-14 in 2011 to 11-5 in 2012. Houston finished 12-4 after losing three of its last four games and will host the Bengals in the Wild Card round, while the Colts will travel to Baltimore.
The Chicago Bears have made a little history of their own as they became just the second team since 1990 to miss the playoffs after starting the season with a 7-1 record despite beating the Lions, 26-24, in Detroit and finishing with a 10-6 record. They have now missed the playoffs in five of the last six seasons. Matt Forte did rush for 1,000 yards for the third time in his career. The Lions finished a disappointing 4-12, but Matthew Stafford shattered the previous record of 691 pass attempts in a season and finished with 727. Calvin Johnson caught five balls for 72 yards and came up 36 yards short of the first ever 2,000-yard receiving season. It broke his streak of eight straight 100-yard receiving games and four straight 10-catch games, which were both NFL records. He finished the season with an NFL record 1,964 receiving yards. Chicago fired head coach Lovie Smith on Monday after a 3-5 end to the year and that has apparently prompted kick returner Devin Hester to consider retirement.

Of course, there is another American who worked for this country's intelligence gathering apparatus who's in legal limbo. The case of Edward Snowden, the former government contractor who leaked classified information to the media, is being followed internationally. Currently, Snowden is holed up in a Moscow airport while he tries to get temporary asylum, as he figures out a way to get to one of several countries that have offered him shelter from U.S. charges of espionage.
Does this sound like a plot out of a movie? Well, we thought that the situation closely resembles just that, and our question is: Exactly how would someone script Snowden, the movie? What's the ending? Who plays Snowden? Here to lend his creative thoughts is David Baldacci, best-selling author of several political and government thrillers, including his most recent novel, "The Hit." David, welcome.
DAVID BALDACCI: Thank you.
CORNISH: So in real life, the story, obviously, is very much ongoing. But is his story being rewritten by people like yourself? Are people, do you think, starting to jot notes down?
BALDACCI: Well, knowing studio executives as I do, I'm sure there's a bunch of people out there trying to figure out how they can capitalize on this and who they would like to cast and how they would like to write the script, either for a film or for television. So, yeah, I'm sure there's a lot of interest in this.
CORNISH: So tell me about the Snowden in your script. Who plays the lead, and why?
BALDACCI: Well, at top of my head, and this was like the sort of five minutes of contemplating the questions. Shia LaBeouf came to mind to play Snowden, sort of this young, impressionable, maybe naive person who has gotten in over his head, trying to do the right thing and has picked the path to do it and now is in the middle of sort of this international mess and probably is trying to figure out how to get back on the dry land.
CORNISH: Now, Snowden has appeared as a solitary figure to the public, save for mention of some family. In your story, would he have friends and colleagues at his former job who could try and help him or stop him?
BALDACCI: I think so. In my mind, at some point, geopolitically, he is going to be seen as someone too silent. If that's so, then he has nobody to help him. So I envisioned sort of this band of young NSA people who befriended him, who care about him, they know he's been abandoned now, and they take it into their own hands to try to go and rescue him and bring him back. But then, what happens when he's brought back to the country? What is Snowden's reaction to all of this? He's probably feeling sort of paranoid right now, at least in the movie version.
CORNISH: And in your imaginary story, he also is facing charges, as he is in real life.
BALDACCI: Yes. Yeah. There's a lot of legal complications out there for someone like him. He's taken classified information. So when he comes back, he is going to be detained. He's going to be put in jail, and he's going to be ultimately tried. And in my mind, I thought, well, at the end of the day, who's going to be left standing with this guy? If he's alienated everyone, certainly, his agency is not going to be with him. Maybe his friends aren't going to be with him. Look at the reaction he had when he came back.
In my mind, the movie version guy comes back paranoid, has alienated everyone and isolated, and he walks into court. Really, the only people he had with him are his lawyers. And because I wanted this story to be sort of ambiguous, gray, not black and white, I really didn't finish it because I wanted to let the viewer or the reader finish in their mind where the case is called, the judge comes in, the jury is in panel. He rises and sits back down, and then you fade to black or you close the last page of the book.
CORNISH: Yeah. You have here Snowden sits back down all alone having great self-doubt now regarding whether or not he did the right thing. And you literally wrote fade to black, which I didn't know you guys did that.
BALDACCI: Yeah.
CORNISH: So I appreciate it.
BALDACCI: The end. Yes. Because I think anybody, I don't care how passionate someone is about something, when all the ramifications come forward, anybody being human is going to have some self-doubts and misgivings about was this the right way to do it? Was this the right way to break this door to the public? Have I committed treason? Could I have done it in a different way?
CORNISH: Is that what makes him an attractive character to write about?
BALDACCI: It does because I don't write about white knights because I don't happen to know any. Everybody has flaws and foibles, and that's what makes people interesting. And if you go through life with no self-doubts at all, it's very hard for me to get a reader to connect with a person like that because for him, I think Snowden is a very compelling character for fiction just because he has a lot of flaws and he's made mistakes, and I'm sure that he's scared.
And all of those things make it appealing because as a writer, either it is in a movie form or book form, I can draw that out, and those are the threads that I can take from this person and send them out to the reader or the viewer to let them to connect with Snowden on a human level. You should let them know the fear and realize what the predicament he's in. It's a compelling one.
CORNISH: David Baldacci, thank you so much for talking with us.
BALDACCI: A pleasure.
CORNISH: David Baldacci is a best-selling author of government and political thrillers, including his latest novel, "The Hit." Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

You'll know, and your dentist certainly will, when you have tooth decay. It is a real problem that can lead to serious complications if not attended to. That's why, with early detection, at the office of Bethaney B. Brenner DMD LLC our knowledgeable staff can offer you ways to prevent or stop tooth decay. We use state-of-the-art technology and ways to keep your teeth cavity-free right from the start, and to identify tooth decay early, when it is easiest to treat.
Cavities are small holes that form in the teeth produced by the bacteria found in plaque. This sticky film is where harmful bacteria that feed on sugar tend to reside. The acids produced by the bacteria wear away at the hard outer surface of your tooth. In order to prevent cavities from forming, plaque must be removed before it builds up to cause damage to the teeth.
It can't be stressed enough that daily brushing and flossing are ways to maintain a clean mouth, free of plaque. But plaque can also be present in areas that only a dental healthcare professional can reach. A tooth cleaning by a professional, who administers a complete oral hygiene routine, is important for preserving a cavity-free smile. Children are especially prone to developing cavities due to their eating habits, and protecting their teeth with dental sealants, fluoride treatments, and checkups prevent the onset of tooth decay.
We will conduct a thorough examination of the teeth, gums and their supporting bone structure. In treating a cavity, we make use of the most cosmetically pleasing and durable tooth-colored fillings made of the highest quality composite resin materials. These fillings look natural and blend seamlessly with the rest of your teeth for a smile you can be proud of.
At the office of Bethaney B. Brenner DMD LLC, we are committed to helping you and every member of your family enjoy problem-free mouth problems and a lifetime of healthy, beautiful smiles. Count on us to provide the highest quality care for all of your dental needs. To learn more, or to schedule an appointment, give us a call today.

Winterizing Your Home Whether you are buying or selling a home, you should have a professional home inspection performed. A home inspection will look at the systems that make up the building such as:
If you are buying a home, you need to know exactly what you are getting. A home inspection, performed by a professional home inspector, will reveal any hidden problems with the home so that they may be addressed BEFORE the deal is closed. You should require an inspection at the time you make a formal offer. Make sure the contract has an inspection contingency. Then, hire your own inspector and pay close attention to the inspection report. If you aren't comfortable with what he finds, you should kill the deal. Likewise, if you are selling a home, you want to know about such potential hidden problems before your house goes on the market. Almost all contracts include the condition that the contract is contingent upon completion of a satisfactory inspection. And most buyers are going to insist that the inspection be a professional home inspection, usually by an inspector they hire. If the buyer's inspector finds a problem, it can cause the buyer to get cold feet and the deal can often fall through. At best, surprise problems uncovered by the buyer's inspector will cause delays in closing, and usually you will have to pay for repairs at the last minute, or take a lower price on your home. It's better to pay for your own inspection before putting your home on the market. Find out about any hidden problems and correct them in advance. Otherwise, you can count on the buyer's inspector finding them, at the worst possible time. Old Man Winter is settling in for a long chilly season. Before the temperatures dip too far south, follow these simple guidelines to winterize your home and save money on utilities. Inside Your Home

Search Colorado Divorce Records
Searching for divorce records in the state of Colorado
Each state has its own local organization that records the important moments in any one person's life, such as their birth, marriage and death as well as records of any divorces they go through. The state of Colorado is no exception and as well as finding papers concerning divorce hearings in court documents and archives, you can also find copies of divorce certificates on file at the local registry. Whether you simply want to research local divorce records or even order a new copy of your own, the local Registrar Recorder or County Clerk in Colorado will be the right person to help you out – or at least one of the many staff in their offices will be!
There are many reasons why someone might want to search for details of divorce records in the state of Colorado. For one, someone might want to search for their own divorce record if they need a copy of the legal document in order to get remarried or for other identification purposes – or even to make sure that their ex-partner has got the divorce arranged like they promised! You might want to check out your new partner's background by researching how many times they have been married previously, if these previous marriages produced any children and if they have actually divorced their last wife or husband like they told you they had. Some details in divorce records are private, depending on certain factors, such as when the divorce happened or if any children were named in the proceedings. There are also often court hearings associated with divorce cases, especially when the two parties contest the circumstances surrounding the separation, who should get custody of any children as well as how much alimony the husband should be paying to his ex-wife and family. If you can't get access to the final divorce records because of the restrictions on these documents within the state of Colorado, then you can always try searching the archives at your local county courthouse for any legal papers that relate to divorce hearings mentioning any of the names you are interested in finding.
If you are researching your family history and are interested in searching older divorce records in Colorado then you are unlikely to have any problems with privacy, as most of these personal records are only protected for a set period of time. However, in many parts of the US, divorce was uncommon until the 1950s and was often not legally recorded before that time. So, using old divorce records to try and pin down details of your ancestors may not be the most effective method. Unlike births, deaths and marriages people are unlikely to announce divorces in local newspapers, so even the press in Colorado won't be helpful to you on this occasion. The only answer is to get your hands dirty at the local archives in the courthouse or County Clerk's office or to send them a request by mail, email or telephone to carry out the search for you if you live outside of the state of Colorado.
Of course, the staff at these offices are busy with their own work, so it can take a while for you to hear back from them, as well as they will charge a standard fee for their services. It can often be much quicker to carry out the search yourself online, either through the official websites that many County Recorder's offices in Colorado now have, or through more commercial, nationwide search sites that allow you to input what information you have and can, then search through all available computerized databases. This has the added advantage of not just searching divorce records in Colorado, but throughout the US, as you might not be sure exactly where someone was divorced or lived in the past. These sites will also charge you a fee, if they find anything that matches your search criteria, and if you want to delve deeper into the information that is available. If you are happy merely seeing a list of returned matches or if no matches are found on the names you are looking for, then the sites will often charge you no fee at all and in some cases return any initial payments made.

What Are Breast Exams?
Breast exams help doctors check that everything's normal. During a breast exam, a doctor or nurse practitioner will feel a woman's breasts to check any lumps and bumps and see if there are changes since the last exam. Doctors don't usually start doing breast exams until a woman is in her 20s.
Why Do Girls Need Them?
Most teens don't need breast exams. That's because it's rare for girls to have breast problems. Doctors usually just look at a girl's breasts during her yearly gyn checkup to see where she is in her development. But if you have a family history of breast problems, your doctor or nurse might give you a breast exam.
What Happens During a Breast Exam?
During a breast exam, a woman lies on her back. The doctor or nurse will press lightly on different parts of the breasts. This helps check for things like cysts.
What If I Have a Lump in My Breast?
As you grow and develop, you will probably notice small lumps and other changes in your breasts. You might also find your breasts are sensitive and tender around the time of your period. If you feel a lump in your breast, don't panic — breast cancer is extremely rare in teens. For teen girls, the most common type of breast lump is usually just part of normal breast growth.
Lots of girls and women have something called fibrocystic breast changes. This is when small fluid-filled cysts in the breasts change size based on where a girl is in her menstrual cycle. Because these cysts have to do with normal hormone changes, they are typically more obvious and may hurt a bit just before a girl's period. Fibrocystic breast changes are nothing to worry about and don't need any kind of medical treatment.
Infections also can cause breast lumps. So can an injury to the breast — like getting hit in the chest while playing sports.
If you're worried about a lump in your breast, talk to your doctor. Also call your doctor if you have any of these problems:
- pain in your breast that seems unrelated to your period
- a red, hot, or swollen breast
- a lump in your armpit or near your collarbone
Most breast lumps are nothing to worry about, but it always helps to talk to a doctor or nurse about what to expect as your breasts grow. Getting checked out gives you peace of mind.

Interviewer: > Sarah Cook Interviewee: > Christiane Paul
Sarah Cook: How did you become involved in media art and in new media curating? Christiane Paul: My original background is in American literature. I did a lot of work on poststructuralism, and when hypertext began to catch on in the late 80s, early 90s, it seemed to literalise many of the theories of poststructuralism, so I started working with hypertext software, Storyspace in particular. I published a hypertext on T.S. Eliot's Wasteland - a guide to the poem. Hypertext was my entry point into new media and when the Internet came about, I was already deeply immersed in the background theory of this practice. I founded a magazine on new media arts called Intelligent Agent in 1995 and have been chronicling this type of art for a number of years. SC: And your beginnings as a curator? Was it a turn from an interest in hyperspace on the academic side and from publishing to organising exhibitions in hyperspace? CP: I don't think it is such a big step. Putting together an issue of a magazine - in terms of selecting the art and contextualising it - is very much like curating a show or creating a website. Just the physical component of the installation is missing. I never felt it was a big step and I had been consulting people for quite some time - mostly curators at institutions who wanted to get into this field but didn't have any idea of where to start. SC: Can you tell me more about that, how you became involved as a consultant and what kinds of questions were asked of you? CP: People often contacted me and wanted me to tell them which net artists were working in which area, for example performance, narrative or activism. Or they already had a theme for an exhibition and wanted to know if there was any net art that would fit in or touch upon the same issue. I've been doing that for quite some time. SC: Both in Europe and in the States? CP: In the States only. SC: How do you feel about how net art has found its way into the institution? Has it been primarily artist-driven or has it been curators going out and searching it out? CP: That is very hard for me to say and I would tend to say that it is more artist-driven. First of all, I think there is less of a problem with the whole idea of the so-called "institutionalisation" of the art when it comes to this medium - net art seems to resist it. In the first place, museums have to accommodate the art form and this process will bring about interesting changes for them. And I think that net art is still underrepresented in the museum world rather than having been institutionalised. There are still only a few museums that are really committed to this art - commissioning it, exhibiting it - and of course net art has existed for quite some time. There is an online art world with critics and curators, and there have been quite a few shows online. I believe that although many artists create the art to circumvent the traditional museum system, it also has a place in the museum. Net art is ubiquitous, it has been created to be seen by anybody, anywhere in the world at any time, and I would like to see it in multiple contexts, the museum being one of them. It would be equally strange if it would be left out of the museum when you can access it in a shopping mall or in a cyber cafe. SC: But there is an issue about the context of the museum and the interface if you will, or modes of presentation. There are museums that have left it out of their galleries but had works on their websites, and museums that have put what is on the web into their galleries. CP: All of which has absolutely nothing to do with the museum, I think, but has a lot to do with physical space and the challenges of presenting this type of art in physical space. I believe there is no one rule or model of doing it. I would always decide on a case by case basis. There are works where I would say, leave them alone, put up a kiosk or a computer with a monitor and let people interact with them one on one. I don't believe that projection is necessarily the best solution because it can end up creating an experience similar to watching TV - one person having the remote control and 50 people watching in the background - that could really hurt the piece. All of the net art pieces in Data Dynamics are shown as projection-installations but mainly because all of them make sense in physical space or already have that component. DissemiNET, for example, has had it from the beginning - as a networked piece with telematic instruments as an interface. Netomat is a piece that really rewrites browser conventions, and it begs to get out of the browser window. SC: That work in particular has gone through a number of mutations. When it was first shown at Postmasters Gallery it was as software CP: Yes. There is a very, very powerful engine behind it, and you can do anything ranging from creating animated webs - such as the Data Dynamics website, which was created in Netomat - to using it as a type of search engine you dialogue with, in this case from two stations. The way it is shown in San Francisco, as part of Telematic Connections, you interact with it by phone. Netomat has all of these capabilities and they manifest themselves in the way you show it. But in general, I think it tries to present the web as an infinite data scape, data space. Seeing Netomat in a browser window on your computer isn't necessarily the best way of experiencing it. SC: To get back to the question of the museum's role in exhibiting this work, I think you're right that a lot of it has been artist-driven and few museums are committed to showing it. The Whitney has been an interesting case study because of the Biennial last year and now this conglomeration of events happening with BitStreams and Data Dynamics and the sound portion of the exhibition. Can you say a little bit about how the three different elements came together? When I spoke with Larry Rinder yesterday he mentioned having invited Deborah Singer to curate the sound part but Data Dynamics really being a separate show. CP: It was conceived as a separate show and was originally supposed to open in the fall of last year. But due to space issues that never happened, and then we also thought it would be very interesting and good if the shows would connect, because BitStreams takes a much much broader look at art in the digital age. It is not necessarily about using digital technology as a medium but also about using it as a tool. So ideally the shows should complement each other. And of course, if you look at art in the digital age or the influence digital technologies have had on art, you have to consider sound and what is going on in that field. SC: Do you worry that the two shows are confused as one and that therefore the question of context is weakened? CP: I know they are constantly being confused, but at least there are brochures, there is information material available. Hopefully, people will read the wall text and realise that Data Dynamics just focuses on a very specific aspect of or narrative within net art, as opposed to taking a general look at the medium. SC: So you had a longer time line in putting together the show; BitStreams happened in about 6 months... CP: Yes. SC: You were speaking earlier as we were getting our coffee about the things technically within the institution which you didn't find out until you'd already got rolling with the exhibition, for instance, the decision to use wireless and the wires having been in temporary walls which had been removed. How did you negotiate the space itself? CP: Well, at this point in time it is still problematic to install these shows in physical space because most museums aren't necessarily prepared for it. I think one of the few museums which is very well equipped is Kiasma in Finland - they have everything in place. But of course it is an issue for every museum. You need the connections. Most importantly, you need personnel. In the beginning, the IT staff had to take care of the installations if there was something wrong, and we later on hired someone for tech support. There should be staff who can watch these works on a continuous basis. Of course it really hurts the pieces if they are down and things don't run smoothly, but I'm sure it will take some time before you have the departments and technology in place. I also feel it is not worth waiting for years until you can finally say, "Okay, now we can start showing the art!" SC: So your show has pushed boundaries within the institution itself towards thinking about what it would be to have one of these pieces permanently installed? CP: Well I hope so. I hope people are thinking about it. And I think yes, every show of this kind pushes boundaries and makes it clearer what is required. SC: In light of these problems over getting the equipment and maintaining it, can you say something about the sponsorship of Data Dynamics? CP: The wireless connections were donated by Cableworx, and Data Dynamics in general was sponsored by France Telecom - they're very interested in this type of technology, and are pretty artist-focused in terms of their own R&D. They met all the artists and were discussing collaborations. It was ideal. The show also received funding from the Rockefeller Foundation. SC: Do you see this happening on a global scale, that companies are getting involved in this way? Or is it particularly American? CP: I would hope that this scenario turns into a kind of sponsorship that gets more interesting, on all levels. In the past, sponsorship was mostly about PR, it didn't necessarily mean that art or the company had anything to offer to each other, but I think that has radically changed. There are many companies that have terrific technology in their R&D labs; there are many artists that would be interested in using that technology for their concepts and ideas. Ideally I would like to see more of an exchange or collaboration there. And I don't think that it should be a case of getting artists to beta-test technology. That isn't a good idea and something I am not interested in. SC: I've been asking curators how they document these shows because I know having worked at museums that there are traditional ways of doing exhibition documentation - you hire a photographer who shoots some slides, and then they go into a box in the archive. With new media shows each one sets a precedent for presentation of this work, for interaction in a particular space. How have you approached that? CP: Well it is of course much more difficult to document it. But I believe there have been lots of precedents - film projections, performances - they present at least similar challenges. And of course, all the works will continue to exist in their web version and have existed like that for a couple of years, at least some of them. Then you have all the traditional means of video documentation and photography, and I also very much believe in keeping a record of the process. Marek Walczak, who co-created The Apartment, is an architect and he did numerous sketches of various ways of installing the work in the gallery. And I have my own maps of the gallery in different versions, both the way we originally mapped out the installations and what they evolved into; because it is a process and things constantly change. And all these things, from ephemera to photos to all the exchanges with the artists in terms of negotiating how to put the elements in place are worth keeping and documenting. SC: I wanted to ask you about Artport on the Whitney's website. How long has that been up and how it has been received and what was the impetus for creating it? CP: It has been up just for a month and it is for now only a modest backbone. We created it because we felt that there should be a website dedicated to net art and digital art, in particular, as there is no section on the Whitney site that documents this type of art. And then we also needed a space to archive information about Data Dynamics. So right now Artport is just a very modest site with a resource section and archive. Artists are creating splash pages on a monthly basis with embedded links to their current and previous work, so that is one way of documenting their projects. And the next step will be to develop it more into a real communication platform. Martin Wattenberg who created The Apartment is doing the first commissioned work for the site, a map and "Idealine" of net art, and I am also talking to other artists about turning Artport into a real portal with a bulletin board and places for exchange. Ideally the functionality should be handled automatically by the interface, giving people the opportunity to search for information under various criteria from various perspectives and discuss the art. SC: What is interesting is that you've archived on Artport previous net art exhibitions, previous collections and I wonder how that falls within the remit of the Whitney to be the museum of American Art and the international nature of net art. CP: That was one of the first discussions I had with Max Anderson, the Whitney's director - how do we combine the Whitney's focus on American art with the global aspects of net art. The Whitney's definition of American artists is "artists living and working in the US." If you look at the last Whitney Biennial, there were a lot of artists from all over the world included but all of them are living and working in the US. I posed the question, "what if an artist has a server in the US, doesn't that mean they are working in the US because their work resides here?" It made sense to Max but other curators tend to disagree. I think everyone working on the web is really creating for a global audience. There are projects out there that are "national" in their focus, but in terms of content, not distribution. When you are creating this type of work, you know that once you upload it, it will be available to the rest of the world. And if you are dealing with conditions in one particular country or society, you know that the statement you are making is going to be presented in a global context. That's why we have the term "netizens" - people on the net subscribe to its superstructure and don't necessarily define themselves in terms of nationalities as such. SC: Yes, the marriage of irational.org and the Bureau of Inverse Technology demonstrates what you have to do in order to live and work in one country even though it may be irrelevant in your practice. I'm curious also about the fact that Artport archives other exhibitions that are available on other museum websites. CP: They aren't archived on the Whitney's end, Artport just provides a link to them. SC: I think this is something which might become increasingly confusing in regards to traditional museums and their authorship over past exhibitions. One remembers that a particular exhibition was at a particular museum, especially in the case of groundbreaking shows. For instance, Thelma Golden's Black Male show was here at the Whitney. With the web those boundaries are becoming blurred as well because museums aren't as able to take authorship of these online exhibitions. CP: True. SC: Do you feel pressures as a curator within an institution of authorship in that sense? CP: Not really, I must admit. I don't know if I am just ignoring them but I don't think so. In terms of Artport's mission, what the site is meant to be - and what users really need - is a portal to art on the net since we are dealing with a medium that essentially is a communication network allowing for hyperlinked context. I wouldn't go to other institutions' websites if they only archived their own shows, I would rather go to Rhizome where I have a real portal to everything that is going on, including exhibitions at all the museums. That structure is much more helpful when it comes to providing a resource. People will still realise that they are travelling to different institutions by following a link. The sites are opening in a different window, they have a different url, so I think only a few people would be confused about where the exhibition actually took place. When it comes to online exhibitions only it doesn't even matter that much anymore, they didn't have a physical component in the first place. SC: I think it is curious because it is something that museums have traditionally clung to and people have understood museums as purveyors of a certain type of direction and they have gained their reputations on this. I'm looking to see how this might challenge museums to open themselves up to a kind of sharing which they haven't before. CP: The Whitney is very open to this form of collaboration and sharing. So it has been no problem and it has been encouraged. SC: I have a standard list of questions I ask curators about their working methods. Where do you go to see work, do you subscribe to lists, what do you read? I ask these basic questions about production in part because there are so many curators in small regional galleries who have been advised by a director that they need to get into new media, perhaps in thinking that by doing a new media show they'll get sponsorship for their gallery. There are curators stepping out for the first time, and as you've said you've been a consultant in this field. Are there sites you go to all the time or particular festivals? CP: First of all I've been involved in this field for almost a decade and through the new media magazine I published I established a really broad network of contacts worldwide. I know many of the artists out there and they are constantly contacting me and sending me updates about their work and information about projects they are involved in. When it comes to net art exhibitions, they are always accessible online, even if they have a physical component. I am subscribed to many lists - such as Rhizome, Nettime, Faces - although it is hard to keep track of everything and read all of them. But this is my standard reading. I also find festivals very interesting, but I seldom encounter work there that I haven't heard about before. Festivals are most helpful in terms of networking - meeting the people I've known only virtually is always interesting. There are of course more festivals in Europe, from Ars Electronica and DEAF to EMAF, Transmediale and VIPER. SC: A last question is what you see as the future of new media curating. In your opinion, are there differences in approaches to the media from those trained in a curatorial/museum studies field rather than those coming from an art practice background? Are there differences in curating between those working independently and those working in institutions? CP: Perhaps this will change in the future but right now these categories don't really seem to apply. People who are working with new media come from very different backgrounds because way back when we studied and went to school, this type of art didn't exist. It was called multimedia and it was still something very different. There were no programmes, you couldn't get an MA or PhD in new media arts or curatorial studies, which is possible now. I find it very interesting that people who come from very different backgrounds have established one worldwide community. Some of the people I have known for a long time or I have been working with here in New York are now at museums, Benjamin Weil for example who founded adaweb and is now at SFMOMA. Six years ago, a handful of New York new media organizations founded the Foundation for Digital Culture. Intelligent Agent was part of that group, which included Rhizome, The Thing, Fakeshop (at that point, they were still called Floating Point Unit), and many artists. I still feel very much embedded in that community, this is where I am coming from. I am not approaching this field from the outside, through a museum, without any previous contact with the art or the community. But I don't know if that will necessarily be the case when it comes to the future of new media curating.

A Bangladeshi garment factory that was producing clothes for Wal-Mart, Disney and other major Western companies had lost its fire safety certification in June, five months before a blaze in the facility killed 112 workers, a fire official told The Associated Press.
Separately, the owner of the Tazreen factory told AP that he had only received permission to build a three-story facility but had expanded it illegally to eight stories and was adding a ninth at the time of the blaze.
The revelations about the deadliest garment fire in Bangladeshi history provide insight into the chaotic nature of safety enforcement at the country's more than 4,000 garment factories. The powerful garment industry is responsible for 80 percent of the South Asian nation's exports.
A Dhaka fire official said the Tazreen factory's fire safety certification had expired on June 30, and fire officials refused to renew it because the building did not have the proper safety arrangements. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, wouldn't provide details of the violations.
"I can't explain more because the case is very sensitive and this is under investigation," the official said.
The factory did not have any fire exits for its 1,400 workers, many of whom became trapped by the blaze. Investigators have said the death toll would have been far lower if there had been even a single emergency exit. Fire extinguishers in the building were left unused, either because they didn't work or workers didn't know how to use them.
Delwar Hossain, the owner of the factory, told AP that he had been granted authorization for only a three-story building, but had added an extra five floors and had started construction on another.
U.S. & World
When asked why, he responded: "My mental condition is not good, I am under pressure, please don't ask me anything else."
Safety inspectors and labor rights activists say major safety violations are common in garment factories, which continue to operate because their powerful owners block efforts to shut them down.

Do you suppose a kid named "Finally" could ever get addressed in a non-sarcastic manner?
Anony M., Alisa K., Carrie B., Shane M., & Amy C., how many people do you suppose asked what flavor the cake was?
- Related Wreckage: The Name Game
When professional cakes go horribly, hilariously wrong.
The first cake is tragic--I love the design and lettering. The last cake ranks in my top ten favorites. If it's good enough for Apple Paltrow-Martin...
How do you drink a teacup poodle? Do you make poodle puddles?
Ha! Love me some "teacup poodles" in my morning coffee, if no one's looking! That cake was totally weird.
Oh dear....on cake #2, my mind went back to the post a few days ago about the process of giving birth.....just when I thought I had managed to forget it!
My therapist will thank you.
Someone will likely point this out to you, but hook and slice are golf terms. It deals with hitting the ball left or right.
That said, it still doesn't make the cake make ANY more sense than it does. But the accents on the cake are super cute.
Last cake? LOVE it. Yep, he'll be a fruity king or there will be several fruity kings. NOt sure which.....
Even if that last cake is welcoming FOUR people, there's enough randomly-placed candy flotsam for everyone, so no worries.
wv: Subto-- Don't be subto about your cake plans, because wreckorators need things spelled out!
Are we sure that's welcome Babbies and not Baffies?
Hook Slice is baffling. Sounds like a celebration of a violent method of C-section. The foreign cake label makes me wonder...
And Luca Joseph Kiwi Mango--if not the flavor (duh) then could it be the names of twins Luca Joseph and Kiwi Mango, or quadruplets Luca, Joseph, Kiwi and Mango?
I mean, Gwyneth Paltrow DID name her daughter "Apple"...
Trevor, can hook and slice also both be boxing terms? I know hook can....
The first cake is for twins? And the decoration on the hook and slice one is lovely, though it would be very odd in Ireland where the connotations of baby angels are obviously not the same as China (?)
I know Jen always makes jokes about a baby boy named Finally. I work for a government agency and had a child come across my desk named Finally, and a boy. I was so intrigued I had to find out what lead to this name. After contacting the grandparent, I learned that he had 7 older sisters. So Jen, he is out there!
"Welcome Babbies" would be a perfectly reasonable thing to say to Scottish twins...
The first one immediately took me back to the "how is babby formed" meme:
Makes me wonder when the "all your base are belong to us" cake will show up.
You drink the poodle puddle with a poodle puddle paddle, of course. Just mind you don't drink the poodle piddle.
"Welcome Babbies" would be a perfectly reasonable thing to say to Scottish twins...
Or if they were Brummie babies (from Birmingham, UK).
When I read that last post it reminded me of the old Monty Python sketch:
"It's spelled Luxury Yacht, but it's pronounced Lucas Joseph Kiwi Mango!"
The "drinking and raising teacup poodles" bit cracked me up! The cake itself still has me stumped though...
And there on the fourth cake you can see where they just didn't use enough icing to cover the sides. What's amazing is that there's still so much wrecktastic material out there to be mined.
Tasty fruity kings... hee hee
Thank you for that, it will make my entire day more worthwhile.
Hook <3 Slice. Joanie <3 Chachi.
And poor Luca Joseph Kiwi Mango's cake is splitting from all the candy flotsam. Poor guy.
WV: Carither. Wreckiness does not give a cake carither. It just makes it a wreck.
OK, I've seen some weird baby names, but Kiwi Mango??!?!!
And what kind of name is "Hook Slice"? Although, judging from the Chinese writing on the bakery label here, I'm guessing the decorator may have had only minimal command of Engrish, I mean English.
These cakes literally make my head hurt. I can't figure out the Hook/Slice at all. Of course, the fact that it's after midnight my time (China), my brain is probably on complete malfunction.
::Tilting head sideways::
Nope, that didn't help.
Your comments on that first one made me laugh/cry. The hook/slice one is baffling.
The scary thing is I know of a kid named Kiwi.......
Oh, I just had a thought:
Given the "Pink vs. Blue" decorative theme on the "Hook/Slice" cake, could "Hook" and "Slice" be vulgar terms for portions of the male and female anatomy, respectively?
... No, I didn't say that. Who, me?
I predict that the boy from the last cake will become fast friends with Throat Warbler-Mangrove (aka Raymond Luxury-Yacht)
ha ha, I have to think that some of my friends could have ordered the first one and it would have been completely on purpose. "How is babby formed?"
Oh...dear {In creaky door voice.}
That's what I said when I saw the last one. Pity the children. Pity them.
It just makes me feel ill that people order cakes saying "Finally" about getting a child the "right" gender. Way to completely destroy the other kids in the family. You weren't born because your parents wanted you, they wished you had been a ____ and had to keep on trying because you failed.
I do understand a family wanting a male heir to carry on the family name, or the desire to have a daughter to share feminine interests with, but when that desire is carried to an unhealthy level and the girls/boys in the family are made to feel their inferiority, it's awful.
Kiwi and Mango could be dogs' names... my cousins had a dog named Mango.
Wow! "Big Nar"?!! That is so weird.
"Kiwi Mango"!!!!!!
This is definitely the funniest posts of 2010...so far! :D
Hook and Slice? *shudder* Hope the mom wasn't having a C-section.
(I know they're golf terms but used in this context it's just ewwwww.)
A kiwi mango cake just sounds gross.
I was hoping the "Finally is a boy" cake was "Finley" spelled wrong, but that's usually a girl's name...
KittyKat - Cake 4 could be taken to mean that the parents had been trying for a long time to have a baby, and this is their first.
That being said - I'm a mom of 3 boys, and I can't tell you how many people (and we're talking complete strangers, like the grocery store checkout lady) have asked me if we're going to try again for a girl. I absolutely hate the assumption that we feel our family to be incomplete without a daughter; when in fact, we're very happy with exactly the kids God gave us. (When I was pregnant with my third and we told family that our ultrasound indicated a boy, my husband's grandmother patted my hand and said, 'There there, dear, maybe next time you'll finally get that girl.' I could've socked her. I responded, 'Thanks, but I think I'll finish gestating this one first.')
my first thought when seeing the hook/slice cake was of conjoined twins being separated.
I don't get the hook {heart} slice thing at all!
Agreed. My husband and I (and consequently our friends and family) call our 8-month-old daughter "Babby" after the internet meme. We would totally order a cake like that on purpose.
With our lucky, they'd "fix" it for us and it would say "babies".
Priceless as always. In my home town (birmingham, UK) babbies is a perfectly correct word so there!
2: This makes me think of all those people walking around with the Chinese symbol for "strengh" or whatever tattoed on their back. What if it really says something like "cheeseburger"?
Maybe the Chinese baker thought they were writing the English for Joy and Happiness. Or maybe two Chinese parents saw "Hook" and "Slice" written out and thought they were awsome name choices. Do they sound like 80's gangmember nicknames to anyone else?
4: Finally is a boy... Sounds like a cake celebrating a specific kind of elective surgery.
I've noticed a specfic baby theme for the past couple of days. Is there some news you'd like to share with us? : )
Finally and Bignor need nicknames. They deserve them. I suggest the "fruit" nicknames on the last cake.
This blog is a riot. Who woulda thunk it???
Many couples give the fetus a cutesy nickname - could Hook and Slice be the soon-to-be-born twins to a golf-loving father?
The name of kings...excellent. Especially witty post today!
Aye, the pooor, wee babbies!
Is it sad that all I can think of after reading this post is how delicious a kiwi-mango cake sounds? I'm left with an urge to make one.
I thought it was "Baffies." I wonder if they know Big Nar?
wv: Barro-- As in, "No, you can't barro my flotsam, 'cause I gotta make a cake."
I'll bet Luca can't wait to grow up and play with his sister, Julie Whiskey Tango Foxtrot:-P
...gold star to those who get the reference;)
"Hook" and "Slice" can also be bowling terms, I believe. Oh, wait-- that doesn't help, either.
Maybe they're single-word excerpts from the manual on how to serve cake?
You know, I've seen parents push their sons to be athletes, or doctors, or lawyers, but this is definitely the first time I've seen parents setting their child up so perfectly for a career as a professional drag queen. You go, little Luca Joseph Kiwi Mango!
That first cake could have been my sister-in-law's. When she was in grade school, she wrote a paper about the Mayflower and mentioned that a "babby" boy was born during the crossing. Since then, babies have been babbies in our family.
Gary said... "Oh, I just had a thought:
Given the "Pink vs. Blue" decorative theme on the "Hook/Slice" cake, could "Hook" and "Slice" be vulgar terms for portions of the male and female anatomy, respectively?"
That's EXACTLY what I was thinking!
Hmm, between today's and yesterday's cakes, do you think Jen is trying to tell us something?
ROTFLMAO! God, you CRACK me up!
It looks like whoever wrote hook and slice did it in Sharpie. So would not be eating that cake.
You finally get that baby boy, and then you name him "Finally?" So now we all can see how very bad you are at planning, since in all this time you haven't managed to think up a better name?
Or does it just go with the names of his older sisters, "Not What We Hoped For," "Another Disappointment," and "Why Me, God?" There's a family that's big on nicknames, for you. Huh.
oh heavens, does the Stork on the Bignar cake seriously look like it is going to be paddled with the frosting rattle up the butt, or what?
Abi, I like your interpretation MUCH better, and anyone who has suffered through the nightmare of infertility certainly has earned as many "FINALLY!" celebration cakes as they want!
Congrats on your 3 terrific sons. I am sorry you have relatives who don't seem willing just to enjoy the fabulous kids you already have! It's really unhealthy the level some people will try to impose their template of an "ideal family" on other people's kids!
I suppose the parents of little Hook and Slice are raising them to be henchpeople for a golf-obsessed James Bond villain.
Actually, no. Not James Bond. Dick Tracy. That comic revels in goofy pun names so much you might mistake it for a parody.
In line with what Gary said about the Hook & Slice cake, some people believe that certain...um, positions can lead to having a boy or a girl. I absolutely cringed when I saw it, whatever it IS supposed to mean.
Holy Smurf, I just now got the Captain Hook reference (was his first name indicated as "James" anywhere besides that awful Disney sequel?) ... but I have no idea who Sally Slice is.
That reminds me of the jokes amongst Harry Potter fans about Sirius being serious, ehm himself.
*looks through comments* Oh, good, I'm not the only one who thought of "How is babby formed."
Finally it's a boy...how many times did they try before?!
The folks who commissioned the "Big Nar" cake also should've looked into finding someone with a sense of color and an eye for flotsam arrangement. I guess this goes to show you can't have it all-- or even any of it, maybe.
"tasty, fruity king"...LOL!!
word verification:
sking - a king with a little extra fruity "zing"!
Maybe I'm the odd one out, but I can totally read the names on that last cake as Luca Kiwi and Joseph Mango. Or, perhaps, Luca Joseph's cake was supposed to have kiwis and mangoes on it (or be a kiwi-mango cake).
Ah, the possibilities!
I love cakes that leave it all up to the imagination.
WV: donsig - a wrecky way of saying "dancing." I feel like donsig because this blog makes me feel so good about my amateur cake decorating!
Abi, when my husband told his mom our first child was a girl, her first response was, "Oh, are you disappointed?" (palm slapping forehead)
I'm finding it's much more fun to read the post, read the comments, re-read the post. Apparently I missed stuff the first time through!
Doing genealogy, I frequently run across an eighteenth or nineteeth century family with a Finis as the last child. After 10 or so you just get tired. . .
wv - nopere. Ha ha ha. Not in this case! (French for father, if you didn't get it.)
I hope that "Finally" cake isn't the result of some mad, desperate longing to have a boy-- you can't control everything in life. Also, this inability to control things applies to your cake order at the local bakery, it would seem.
I'm with those who couldn't see a problem with the first cake. I know enough people that call 'em babbies that I just figured it belonged to an Irish family (or as other commenters have pointed out, Scottish or Brummie).
Hook and Slice are also used in cricket, but the latter is not an elegant shot, so I doubt you'd name your kid that. Far more likely to be "Cover Drive". A good hook shot is worth naming your kid after though. Seems like a girl's name to me. Cover Drive would be your boy's name.
I'm willing to bet "Kiwi" and "Mango" were the nicknames of the twins while they were in utero.
My oldest brother was "Buzzard" and my other brother was "Vulture" when my mom was pregnant. I was "Crow" because my dad decided that since they wanted a girl, they needed a more "feminine-sounding" nickname. =D
As someone suggested hook & slice are probably the nicknames of a golf lover's twins. But I like to think that somehow a golf themed cake got mixed up with a baby shower cake. Somewhere there is a golf cake that says "Congratulations on your new arrivals."
Nobody would really name their kid Luca Joeseph Kiwi Mango, right? Kiwi Mango was the flavor that they wanted for the icing, right? And the wrecker didn't really spell "Joeseph," right?
Maybe "Kiwi Mango" IS the fruit of kings. Or the fruity king... Perhaps we've witnessed the birth of a future interior designer to the stars...
Aren't hook and slice words that mean your shot was off the mark? Am I reading too much into this if I think these are the poor kids' nicknames when they haven't even been born yet?
No way would I call my daughter Hook OR Slice! This is no way to map out a great future for her, with a suggestive nickname like that from the very beginning!
It is so sad when the placement of one capital letter can change the whole meaning of a sentance. Or even the lack of a capital letter.
While I have heard some really bizare names for kids, 'Finally' takes the cake (so to put it).
Q: What is it with celebrities giving their kids weird names? It is like they want them to be picked on at school.
The company that made the hook/slice cake is in Taiwan, so it was never designed to make sense to Americans.
I truly laughed out loud at the last cake... I bet it was vanilla, wasn't it?
Also loved the Bugs Bunny reference in the "hug him and squeeze him (and call him George)". Haven't heard that in ages!
Anyone else wonder about how the stork got the baby? I mean that red... is a tad suspicious.
I could be the only one thinking it but... "No! You cannot have the (Luca Joseph Kiwi) Mango!"
WV: stope - There's already too much flotsam on that cake, please stope adding to it!
I went to an antique needlework lecture that discussed a sampler by an early nineteenth century girl, Waitstill Richards. Apparently this was a fairly common name for a daughter whose parents had to "wait still" for a son.
People suck, and apparently always have. Yay history!
I'd bet anything that "kiwi mango" was the cake flavor, but got copied off the order form along with the inscription instructions.
tasty, fruity kings! hahahahahaha! I am sure my neighbours can me laughing.
LOL!!! LOVE that last one. Poor Joeseph Kiwi Mango indeed!
that's a keeper right there with under neat dat!
or "Finally . . . you've got that sex change you always wanted."
Dear, wonderful Jen and John --
I'm not disputing the wreckishness of that first cake, just unintentional chauvinism on your part: "babby" is a perfectly respectable pronunciation of "baby" in the Sunderland/Tyneside part of England -- up north, you know. Lots of planets have a North...I still admire and respect your dedication, just thought I'd offer this interpretation...
Jen is cutting back on posting and highlighting baby themed cakes....hmmmmmm
@ Anony. 8:49-- I'm glad the Taiwanese understand it, so please explain because I don't understand the Hook-Slice cake at all!
So on the last cake, WHY does it say kiwi mango? Is that the flavor of the cake maybe?
How is babbie formed?
Ah yes, Luca Joeseph Kiwi Mango - that's the name of kings, right there.
A fruity king or Bob Geldof is having more children & this is his cake. I can see it, Luca Joeseph Kiwi Mango Geldof, he's playing with his sister's, Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches Honeyblossom Michelle Charlotte Angel Vanessa, Little Pixie & Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily. See, he fits right in there.
This blog is too funny!
*Searches for Babby meme and Instain Mother* Well, no need for my contribution. Carry on.
Kiwi isn't such a bad girl's name.
I'm kidding, I'm kidding!
Dear Emily,
Babbies is not an English word.
Bangers and Mash,
and How's your father?
See? Those are all not English. They're English English which doesn't count as English if you're not in an English speaking country that is England.
I hope that's clear.
Misplaced modifiers make are my favorite!
How is babby caeked? How girl get desert?
(I'm wondering if it's a deliberate play on the babby meme.)
John (the hubby of Jenn),
I'm an English teacher in China. I'm from America. I'm a native English speaker. But now, I'm questioning my sanity.
"I'm soooooo confused!" (Vinnie Barbarino lives.)
I do teach a section on the difference between American and British English, but I've never heard of "How's your father?" being an item of contention. (Gotta admit, never heard of "babbies" before either!)
It's what on the cake. Maybe. Maybe not.
WV: dosse. Dosse or doesn't he? Understand my confusion?
I thought of the babby meme and Brummies, too. That said, it very well could be non-intentional wreckage...
LOL I also hope 'Finally' is a long-waited for first baby, not the unfortunate progeny of desperate parents who had 13 girls in the hope of having a boy! I can understand appreciating children of either gender, but when it becomes a creepy obsession, carrying on having kids just to 'complete the set' rather than because they can look after and want more children, it's the children that suffer.
Word Verification: skilis.
Don't apply for a cake decoraring job unless you have all the relevant skilis, or you will create nothing but wrecks!
New word verification: inessest (too bad to pass up!)
Obsessing about having a kid of one particular gender may make people think you're into inessest...
Tirya, why did your parents name you ugly birds in utero?
my twins were "lumpy" and "hiccup" in utero, but that was because one hiccupped every day and lump moved around all the time, creating lumps on my belly.
I am so disappointed that the name on the 4th cake is Mango. I wanted it to be Mongo. That little one could grow up to be strong enough to sock a horse in the jaw but Mango?
This is what they can expect, impressive but not the same.
Hilarious, as usual.
I can tell the "babbies" cakes was, almost for sure, decorated by someone whose first language used the cyrilic alphabet. So well, just a forgiving smile to that one :0)I
"War Cake," as in "It's chocolate covered shrapnel, thus the awkward shape?" Or because they shot the strawberries right into the side, which would explain their odd placement? Was a derator used to make this? Without a doubt!
Maybe "Derator" is actually a misspelling of "Detonator?"
The Babbies Cake - Babbies are what we call young babies in the black country area of the UK so this may not be a mistake...
The last cake is one of my favorites Ever!!
"However, little James' love of the open sea and life-long distaste of children would eventually drive Sally to drinking and raising teacup poodles. (Although after the ASPCA stepped in, she was forced to stick to just raising them.)"
LOL! When I read this, I laughed so hard, I shot my teacup poodle out my nose. Excuse me while I wipe off my computer screen.
--- Sally
How about "Finally! The pain is over!"
That sounds like an event to celebrate with a cake to me.
Anon - Why ugly birds? Our last name is "Tweet" so the bird theme was sort of a gimme. =)
I guess they finally figured out how a babby should be formed?
I laughed so hard I snorted. By myself in the office. Know what? It was still embarrassing. I love Fruity Kings.
My friend actually named her daughter Kiwi. At first I just thought it was a nickname.
The last cake is a new top favorite for me. Right up there with "Your Day Has Come" with the chopped off hand. :)
maybe the parents on the first cake are Dark Tower fans? Wolves of the Calla come ta take your babbies!
ahhahaha "kiwi mango". omg! i love these. they are some of the best. and thanks, i needed the laugh tonight.
My parents were married for about 14 years before I was conceived. My baby shower cake appropriately said, "Welcome. What took you so long?"
Sorry, but I'm with everyone else who said 'babbies' might not be a mistake. It's a perfectly reasonable word in many parts of the British Isles, so really it just depends who the cake was for and what they intended to have on it.
I'm thinking Kiwi and Mango are the colors to used.... hence the orange and green... under neat that.
@culinarychiq lol i get it...but isn't it juliet? not julie?
Maybe twins, Luca Kiwi & Joseph Mango? Actually that sounds like a pair of sub-Saharan African rebels...
it really masterpieces'd never seen
Hello, your site is a godsend for lovers of sweets:)!

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.

Pickles are not hard to make. Don't be shy to make your own.
As many of you know, Paul is always game for preserving. He has made oodles of jams over the years and recently he has been tempted by the savory route. A couple of weeks ago, he whipped up a batch of pickles and I thought I'd share the easy recipe with you. A favorite book of Paul's, the urban homestead is filled with all sorts of practical tips for greener, simpler living. Their pickle recipe is one that uses traditional lacto-fermentation - no vinegar is needed, just salt water. Before canning or freezing, lacto-fermentation was a means of preserving the vegetable harvest.
Last week was an amazingly vibrant and particularly food-obsessed week here in Berkeley as Chez Panisse celebrated it's 40th birthday. There were endless fun and delicious events to raise money for the Edible Schoolyard Project and Eating for Education. At the Berkeley Art Museum, farmers, bakers, kids, and beekeepers set up demonstrations and shared a love of food. Teens from Oakland-based Obugs taught pickle making and they used the lacto-fermentation technique Paul had just learned. I smiled at this coincidence and my kids eagerly make their own custom batches of pickles.
INGREDIENTS adapted from the urban homesteader
(printable recipe)
- 2 tablespoons sea salt (do not use iodized salt)
- 1 quart filtered or bottled water
- enough cucumbers to fill a quart jar (note that all sorts of other veggies can be used like carrots, baby onions, green beans, cabbage, garlic...)
- flavor enhancers: dill (fresh or dried), black peppercorns, garlic cloves
- optional: grape leaf
Make your brine solution by mixing the sea salt and water.
Pack washed cucumbers into a very clean quart-sized jar. Add seasoning to your liking... a few peeled garlic cloves, some black peppercorns, and some sprigs of dill. You can also use a bit of grape leaf in the jar (a tip from Obugs) to keep the cucumber crunchier.
Pour salty water over the cucumbers until the jar is nearly full. Leave a quarter inch of breathing room before you put on the lid.
Place your jar of pickles in a dark place (not the fridge) and let the fermenting begin. Obugs recommended loosening the jar's lid every morning and tightening it back up every night. My boy Otis really liked this idea and has started to call his jar of pickles his "pet." Maybe I need to get my kid a dog!
After a few days, taste your pickles and see if they are ready to eat. Pickling can take anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks.
Once your pickles are done, place jar in the fridge to prolong the life.

South Carolina Multi Color Font DTF Transfer Design
DTF transfers are a type of heat transfer produced using a special printer and ink.
They are also known as direct to film transfers, dream screens, and digital screen print transfers. The transfer design is printed on a pretreated film using high-quality ink. Once the color ink is printed, a second layer of white ink is applied on top. This white underbase allows application to dark colors (unlike sublimation transfers) without sacrificing how vivid the design is.
DTF transfers can be applied to a variety of fabric and substrates such as 100% cotton, canvas, and even wood. The ending result is a soft, stretchable and vivid design that will withstand numerous washing and normal wear. DTF transfers will not fade, peel or crack if applied correctly.
Size is shown in picture. Please contact here if you would like to purchase in bulk. We offer a generous discount the more you purchase.
Turn around print time averages 3-5 business days. Weekends & Holidays are not considered business days.
To apply our DTF transfers to apparel, follow the instructions below:
1. Before applying your DTF transfer, press your item for 7 seconds to remove any wrinkles and moisture.
2. Heat your press to 320 F
3. Position the transfer on your t-shirt.
4. Cover with parchment paper or a Teflon sheet.
5. Using heavy pressure (60 psi / 8-9), press the transfer for 15 seconds.
6. After pressing for 15 seconds, open the heat press and remove the shirt from the heat press platen.
7. Allow the transfer to cool (approximately 30-45 seconds or until cool to the touch).
8. Gently remove the film from the shirt. Grab at one corner and slowly pull the film from the design. Note: If you notice the image is still attached to the film, stop and return the shirt to the heat press. Repeat the process.
9. Use a cover sheet and repress for 15 seconds.
OPTIONAL: If you would like to matte the design more, return the t-shirt to the heat press, cover the design with parchment paper, and press for an additional 10 seconds.
