Specs of next generation Xbox supposedly leaked, includes everything and the kitchen sink
Specifications have been leaked for the 360's successor.
With E3 approaching closer as each day passes, there's going to be more and more salt being thrown at consumers from sources who wish to either leak valid details about Microsoft's next generation Xbox console, or stir up false rumour. The latest information comes from VGleaks, who doesn't have a significant track record, but has published detailed articles surrounding the Playstation 4, WiiU and Xbox.
So what's been said about the next Xbox that's believed to succeed the current generation of hardware - the Xbox 360? Well, to cut it short, we'll be looking at an 8-core X64 chip running at 1.6GHz, 8GB DDR RAM, USB 3.0 and a 50GB 6x Blu-ray player to leave DVD behind.
The specifications are actually detailed at some length:
CPU - using the x64 Architecture, 8 CPU cores, each running at 1.6 gigahertz (GHz), will be powering the best games available with each thread sporting 32KB L1 instruction and data caches. Each individual module of four CPU cores has a 2MB L2 cache (with a total of 4MB L2 between them). If that wasn't enough, each core has one fully independent hardware thread with no shared execution process and all threads can issue two instructions per clock.
GPU - Utilising a custom D3D11.1 class 800MHz graphics processor, the next generation Xbox would boast 12 shader cores, providing a total of 768 threads. Each thread can perform a single scalar multiplication and addition operation (MADD) per clock cycle. When at peak performance, the GPU can effectively issue 1.2 trillion floating-point operations per second. Pretty neat, eh? Lastly, High-fidelity Natural User Interface (NUI) sensor is always present.
Storage / Memory - 8GB of DDR3 RAM will be available on-board with 32MB of embedded SRAM (with a combined total peak bandwidth output of 170GB/sec). Hard drive for multimedia and other content, and of course the 50GB 6x Blu-ray player.

All the latest news, reviews, and guides for Windows and Xbox diehards.
Networking - As expected, Gigabit Ethernet and WiFi as standard.
The following will aso be sported by the console, should information in the leak be accurate:
- Move engines
- Image, video, and audio codecs
- Kinect multichannel echo cancellation (MEC) hardware
- Cryptography engines for encryption and decryption, and hashing
If the above specifications are true and the leak is accurate, Microsoft will be packing some serious gear in the next generation of its console. The Xbox 360 has enjoyed a healthy lifecycle (excluding the teething issues and RRODs), which the company will undoubtedly hope to replicate with the next refresh.
The inclusion of an NUI sensor sounds as though Kinect will be implemented deeper into the console, which is to be expected with Microsoft pushing more into sensor technology (with its Research division trialing projector visual experiences). This should also open up Kinect gameplay to all potential consumers who will pick one of these beauties up, potentially leading to more games being produced.
The leak will also please those who make use of a WiFi network at home (or in the office). Connecting the video game console to the Internet with built-in wireless should provide a more stable experience online, especially since the current adapters perform poorly. The gigabit interface will enable those who enjoy streaming media to make the most of available bandwidth.
We're pretty excited to see just what Microsoft has to announce at E3, and we're sure you all are too. How the next Xbox will further integrate with both Windows and Windows Phone will reveal just where the company is planning to take its three-screens vision.

Whether the holidays drive you to drink or the drinks are just part of the fun of celebrating, this is a good cocktail recipe to have on hand. I received a sample of PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur and was interested in several ideas from the accompanying recipe booklet. A PAMA margarita or martini would have been nice, but the thought of pomegranate flavor with bourbon in a Manhattan was something I had to try. First I tasted a sip of the PAMA liqueur on its own, and it was very much like pomegranate juice. This is not a sweet or syrupy liqueur. The flavor is very well-balanced, and it adds nice color to a finished cocktail.
A classic Manhattan includes bourbon, sweet vermouth, and bitters and is garnished with lemon peel and a maraschino cherry. The recipe in the PAMA booklet, replaced the vermouth with PAMA, omitted the bitters, and added a splash of soda water. I decided to create a sort of hybrid mix of that recipe and the classic. A cocktail pitcher was filled with ice, bourbon, PAMA, and bitters were added, the mixture was stirred until chilled, it was poured over ice in two small glasses, and it was topped with sparkling water and garnished.
I've always been a bourbon fan, and I was very happy with the way its flavor mingled with that of pomegranate. I used angostura bitters, and just a couple of dashes added a distinctive note. I can imagine a lot of delicious uses of PAMA liqueur, and I'll definitely try the margarita eventually, but for a sophisticated twist on a classic cocktail this pomegranate Manhattan would be hard to beat.
Pomegranate Manhattan
2 ounces bourbon
1 1/2 ounces PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur
2 dashes angostura bitters
Sparkling water
Lemon peel and maraschino cherries such as Silver Palate brand
-Fill a cocktail pitcher with ice. Pour bourbon, PAMA, and bitters over ice, and add dashes of bitters. Stir until chilled. Strain cocktail into two small glasses with ice and top with sparkling water. Garnish each with lemon peel and a cherry.

And today's last word in business is: Crispy and cheesy and really, really profitable.
You might remember when we introduced you to Taco Bell's Doritos Locos Taco a few months ago. It's a taco made with a shell of Nacho Cheese Doritos. Taco Bell's chief executive hailed it as a flavor pairing waiting to happen. And after a huge media rollout, taco lovers have spoken by buying 100 million Doritos Locos Tacos in about 10 weeks. That is a whole lot of tacos.
To compare, it took McDonald's a decade to sell 100 million hamburgers. The innovation helped raise Taco Bell sales figures and inspired a chain to consider some new offerings. This time a bit more refined. Next month the chain will roll out menu items from celebrity chef Lorena Garcia, including gourmet burritos. Gourmet. That's going to mean no Doritos, isn't it?

This is MORNING EDITION, from NPR News. I'm David Greene.
And I'm Steve Inskeep. This is one of those news stories that leaves your jaw on the floor; an incredible story in Cleveland. Three women who were kidnapped a decade ago have been found alive, in a house not far from where they disappeared.
STEPHEN ANTHONY: For Amanda's family, for Gina's family, for Michelle's family, prayers have finally been answered. The nightmare is over.
INSKEEP: That's Stephen Anthony, special agent in charge of the FBI's Cleveland office, at a news conference that wrapped up earlier this morning. Reporter Brian Bull, of our member station WCPN in Cleveland, was there. Brian, good morning.
BRIAN BULL, BYLINE: Good morning to you, Steve.
INSKEEP: Would you remind us how it is that these women were discovered?
BULL: That's a very remarkable tale of survival, and it was almost completely under the radar until about 6 o'clock last night, when a neighbor on Seymour Avenue - here on Cleveland's west side - was coming back from work, he said. And when he looked over to the neighbor's house, he saw a young woman pleading for help from the front door of the house. And she was trying to get through the door but apparently, it was rigged in such a way that you could only like, slip a few fingers through the crack.
So he ran over, and he began helping her pry off - I believe part of the bottom of the door. It was aluminum, and bent easily. She was then able to crawl out. And she fled to his house, where she immediately called 911 to alert police that she had escaped.
BULL: Police arrived within two minutes, and the owner of the house - Ariel Castro, a 52-year-old bus driver for Cleveland public schools - apparently had fled. But police were able to track him down to a nearby McDonald's.
INSKEEP: You know, I really - the amazing thing, Brian Bull, about that clip is the 911 operator saying, do you need police, fire or ambulance - what do you need when you've just gotten out after a decade of kidnapping? I mean, there's no manual for this. What condition are the women in?
BULL: Remarkably, they're in good health. They were taken to a local hospital, Metro Health Medical. And they were reported all in good condition. One of the local police captains said that they certainly needed a good meal. But for being in captivity - all three of them - for roughly a decade, they were in reasonably good health.
Of course, we don't know yet exactly what these women endured inside of that house for - again, about 10 years; if they underwent any type of torture, or any type of abuse. But at this point, they have been released - as of this morning - back to their families, and their homes, across Cleveland and obviously, taking in a lot of love and support, at this moment.
INSKEEP: And of course, there was a child in the house as well. Who's in custody for this kidnapping?
BULL: Who's in custody? We have the owner of the house, Ariel Castro, as I mentioned earlier. His two brothers have also been taken into custody, Pedro and Onil. The three men remain in custody. Authorities said at today's conference that they will be subjected to interviews and - to find out exactly what was happening within the house and also, the Cleveland authorities are mandated within 36 hours to press changes. So charges have not been yet announced, but they are being worked on.
INSKEEP: Brian, we've just got a few seconds left - 10 or 20 seconds. But you were just listening to this news conference. You've been covering this story for hours. Is there something you learned that gave you new insight in what's been happening here?
Right at this point, they've identified one of the - the child. There was some debate as to whether there was one child or several who fled the house last night. Apparently, it is one child, 6 years old; and the police believe it belongs to Amanda Berry.
OK. Brian, thanks very much.
BULL: You're welcome.

text: Dear Sir: I am writing in response to your request for additional information in Block #3 of the accident reporting form. I put "Poor Planning" as the cause of my accident. You asked for a fuller explanation and I trust the following details will be sufficient. I am a bricklayer by trade. On the day of the accident, I was working alone on the roof of a new six-story building. When I completed my work, I found I had some bricks left over which when weighed later were found to weigh 240 lbs. Rather than carry the bricks down by hand, I decided to lower them in a barrel by using a pulley which was attached to the side of the building at the sixth floor. Securing the rope at ground level, I went up to the roof, swung the barrel out and loaded the bricks into it. Then I went down and untied the rope, holding it tightly to insure a slow descent of the 240 lbs of bricks. You will note on the accident reporting form that my weight is 135 lbs. Due to my surprise at being jerked off the ground so suddenly, I lost my presence of mind and forgot to let go of the rope. Needless to say, I proceeded at a rapid rate up the side of the building. In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel which was now proceeding downward at an equally impressive speed. This explains the fractured skull, minor abrasions and the broken collarbone, as listed in Section 3 of the accident reporting form. Slowed only slightly, I continued my rapid ascent, not stopping until the fingers of my right hand were two knuckles deep into the pulley which I mentioned in Paragraph 2 of this correspondence. Fortunately by this time I had regained my presence of mind and was able to hold tightly to the rope, in spite of the excruciating pain I was now beginning to experience. At approximately the same time, however, the barrel of bricks hit the ground, and the bottom fell out of the barrel. Now devoid of the weight of the bricks, the barrel weighed approximately 50 lbs. I refer you again to my weight. As you might imagine, I began a rapid descent down the side of the building. In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel coming up. This accounts for the two fractured ankles, broken tooth and severe lacerations of my legs and lower body. Here my luck began to change slightly. The encounter with the barrel seemed to slow me enough to lessen my injuries when I fell into the pile of bricks and fortunately only three vertebrae were cracked. I am sorry to report, however, as I lay there on the pile of bricks, in pain, unable to move and watching the empty barrel six stories above me, I again lost my composure and presence of mind and let go of the rope... |

A startling new report finds freshly graduated college women will likely face this hurdle when entering the work world: they're worth less than equally educated men.
The American Association of University Women is releasing a new study that shows when men and women attend the same kind of college, pick the same major and accept the same kind of job, on average, the woman will still earn 82 cents to every dollar that a man earns.
The study, called Graduating to a Pay Gap, points out that job choices may initially explain the problem. For example, many women choose lower paying industries, such as teaching or social sciences, while men select jobs in science and technical industries, which pay more.
So, as the Washington Post notes, the authors tried to make everything as similar as possible. They tracked graduates with identical collegiate experiences, limited familiarity with the work world, and those who didn't have spouses or children.
But the wage gap persisted.
The study found that in teaching, female college graduates earned 89 percent of what men did. In business, women earned 86 percent compared to men. In sales occupations, women earned 77 percent of what men took home.
Why would equally educated women and men with similar life experiences bring home very different paychecks?
There are a few reasons cited. One is potential gender discrimination, according to the authors, who say more women are filing complaints about their work condition. "Experimental evidence confirms that many people continue to hold biases against women in the workplace, especially those who work in traditionally male fields."
There's another, intriguing reason that women could earn less: they don't like to negotiate their salaries, or they're unable to do so. "Negotiating a salary can make a difference in earnings, and men are more likely than women to negotiate their salaries. In part, this difference may reflect women's awareness that employers are likely to view negotiations by men more favorably than negotiations by women," the authors write.
The wage disparities mean women have more trouble paying bills, especially paying back college loans. In 2009, about 47 percent of women paid more than eight percent of earnings toward student loan debt compared with 39 percent of men, according to the AAUW. The authors say these numbers have gone up since then.
Journalism professor Michele Weldon nails the problem in an essay for al Jazeera. She's writing recommendation letters for several of her female students graduating from Northwestern University. While praising each student's achievements, Weldon is thinking of adding these lines to each letter:
"I respectfully request that you offer her the same salary as a male candidate with her qualifications. If your company already has this gender balanced practice, I applaud you for your fairness."
Among the AAUW authors' recommendations: Congress should adopt new laws beefing up federal equal pay laws. And they urge women to pay attention to their own life choices, and recognize the long term implications when they decide on college majors and professions.

Hostelworld.com is celebrating its 10th anniversary, marking a decade of growth and prosperity in the budget accommodation sector. In 1999, Hostelworld.com developed an idea that changed the face of the online budget travel industry. Their unique business model brought hostel reservations on-line and leap-frogged generations of cumbersome hotel reservation platforms in the process: Properties were able to put their availability on-line, manage their pricing in real time and gain direct and immediate access to customers across the globe. 10 years on Hostelworld.com has become the global market leader in the online distribution of budget accommodation and, since launch, has had over 15 million bookings selling over 71 million beds.
Hostelworld.com provides travellers with access to an unparalleled choice of hostels, with over 20,000 properties in 6,000 destinations spanning 170 countries. Over the past 10 years Hostelworld.com has maintained its position as industry leader by constantly addressing the needs of the modern day traveller and being at the forefront of innovation. Some highlights include:
- In 2000 Hostelworld launched a powerful free tool that transformed the way hostels ran their business. Backpack for Windows was the first Property Management System (PMS) specifically designed for hostels. In 2006 the product went online, rebranding to Backpack Online, allowing hostels to completely manage their business remotely, increasing the user base by 1000%. The product is still completely free of charge.
- In 2001 Hostelworld established their affiliate program which made content available to partner sites via white label, co-branded or xml solutions. The Hostelworld affiliate program has been adopted by over 3,000 partners including Trip Advisor, Lonely Planet, Ryanair and easyJet meeting demand for budget accommodation properties not served by hotel reservation websites.
- 2003 saw the birth of the 'Hoscars' – the only awards to honour the hostel industry. Based on customer ratings and reviews the awards recognize only the very best. Now in its 8th year, the awards have helped improve the standards of hostels across the world.
- In 2005 Hostelworld launched the first annual hostel conference giving hostel owners from around the world an opportunity to learn more about up to the minute developments and trends in the hostel industry.
- In 2006 Hostelworld.com was first to market with its own travel network "MyWorld". It was the first social network of its kind by any online booking engine.
- User ratings and reviews have always been at the core of Hostelworld.com and to date the site has over 2 million user generated reviews.
To mark the launch of the 10th anniversary celebrations Hostelworld is launching its biggest consumer promotion yet – a golden ticket promotion with a prize fund of 10,000 euros. Customers that book on Hostelworld.com between July 27th and August 5th will be entered in a draw to win one of 10 golden tickets, each worth 1,000 euros.

You've decided it's time to sell. You keep asking yourself if you should hire an agent to sell your house in Raleigh, North Carolina. Do you want to pay large commissions? How long are you willing to wait for the house to receive an offer? How long will it take to close? What sort of repairs will you have to make? How does the house look when I leave for work in the morning? Are you available to show your house with 24-hour notice, or less?
If you decide to sell your house directly to a professional house buyer in Raleigh, North Carolina, you will not have to worry about going through a roller coaster of emotions. There are no frustrating, middle-of-dinner phone calls asking if you are available to show your house. You don't have to worry about leaving your house spotless every day before heading to work, just in case there is a showing while you're gone. You don't have to worry about possibly running into a buyer's agent or their clients or dealing with them asking you questions that you really shouldn't answer anyway. You also don't have to worry about buyers arguing with you over which furniture you are taking and what you are leaving.
Commissions and Fees
Real estate agents are paid based on a percentage of the sale price of your house. If you do not use an agent, there will be no commissions paid to a buyer's or seller's agent. That means thousands of dollars in savings! The usual commission is 3% per side, so if you sell your house for $400,000, you would have to pay $24,000 out of your proceeds in commissions alone, along with the traditional seller's closing fees and other possible transaction fees to the closing agent and the real estate agents office. Real estate investors typically do not charge commission or transaction fees, and if they do, it is extremely low in comparison.
Waiting Time Frame
Real estate agents have access to the multiple listing service, or MLS, which allows your property to be found in searches for certain features of a property. This may sound great, but how long will it sit on the market? How fast will you receive offers? Real estate investors and other direct house buyers typically have a network of other house buyers, so if your property doesn't fit their portfolio, then it may fit one of their colleagues' portfolios. Either way, this means very limited waiting time for an offer. Also, when you sell your house in Raleigh, North Carolina directly to house buyers, they will typically close faster than traditional buyers, and usually pay full in cash. Traditional house purchases usually require qualifications from banks, mortgage underwriting time, property inspection and the buyer may not end up qualifying in the end.
Inspections & Repairs
Professional house buyers in North Carolina will usually purchase houses as-is. As a seller, this means you do not have to worry about repairs before closing or any other additional expenses you were not planning on. There are some companies that do not require inspections which makes it a truly as-is transaction. When you use a real estate agent, the buyer's agent will almost always order an inspection of the property. If they find something wrong with the property structure, they may require you to fix it out of pocket before the property closes.
There are a lot of situations to think about when you are ready to sell your house. We can help you decide which avenue would be best for you.

Mutual understanding is the foundation of international relations. If globalization leads us to use a common lexicon, we often tend to forget that meanings differ from one culture to the other. Lack of understanding or, sometimes, confusion in meaning, breaks communication.
When China speaks in a foreign language, it uses a lexicon that is more often than never not on par with its own history and culture. It uses words to which it may assign, consciously or unconsciously, different meanings. No dialogue can be effective if interlocutors disagree on the very meaning of what they say to each other.
More than 2000 years ago, Confucius noted the imperative "to assign proper meanings to concepts", zheng ming 正名. That is precisely what this digital platform offers by attempting to bridge the gap of cultural differences, while respecting the essential value of cultural diversity without falling in the trap of cultural relativism. This initiative aims thus to confront key concepts between Europe and China by designing a methodical guide to handle and solve eventual misunderstandings.
Remarkably, the origin of this project stems back to the 1980's when a number of dialogues contributed to create a trustworthy network of scholars in Europe and in China. With the renewed support of the European Union, the 'EU-China Forum on Cultural Misunderstandings' gathers a group of high level European and Chinese intellectuals who share the awareness that cultural misunderstandings impede mutual comprehension and positive interactions between the EU and China at all levels.
The digital platform ambitions to be a constant, accessible and tangible instrument for uploading contributions and conducting initial debates in preparation of the November 2021 Forum.
The contributions of all participating authors will be included in the EU-China Dictionary of Misunderstandings, published digitally and eventually also in a physical form. It intends to be a meaningful, scientific and literate instrument for the benefit of mutual understanding between Europe and China.
It is certainly my hope that this editorial project of a Europe-China Dictionary of Misunderstandings may constitute a reference tool for further research and exchanges.

Car Models With the Most Hit and Runs
Would you flee the scene?
Hit-and-runs are a significant problem throughout the United States. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety estimated that more than one hit-and-run crash occurs every minute on the roads, as of 2016. Of course, not every crash is fatal—AAA estimated that 2,049 people die as a result of these collisions every year—but the sheer magnitude of hit-and-runs is still staggering. The problem has also been getting worse: the same AAA study showed that hit-and-run crashes have increased by an average of 7.2 percent yearly since 2009. In fact, from 2008 to 2018, nearly 20 percent of all pedestrian deaths occurred as a result of a hit-and-run collision.
To delve further into the issue of hit-and-run crashes, researchers at Insurify decided to discover which car models have the highest rate of these violations. So without further ado, these are the 10 models that are most guilty of hit-and-runs.
- National averages. In total, three out of every 10,000 car models nationwide have at least one prior hit-and-run violation, and 13.46 percent of models have an accident. Additionally, the average price of a new car as of August 2019 is $37,401.
- Old, but still present. Surprisingly, six of the 10 cars on the list are actually no longer in production, and five of those six haven't been on the market in at least 10 years. Notably, older cars have fewer safety features, and none of the newer technology—such as assisted braking or rear cameras—that might help prevent a collision, which could help explain their prevalence in the top 10.
- Foreign or domestic? There was a fairly even split between foreign and domestic cars on the list. Five models manufactured by United States makers cracked the top 10. The other five models, of course, were manufactured by foreign makers, though one of the cars is actually made by a domestic manufacturing plant.
To determine which car models have the highest proportion of drivers with a hit-and-run violation, data scientists at Insurify, an auto insurance quotes comparison platform pulled the numbers from their database of over 1.9 million car insurance applications. To apply for car insurance quotes, interested drivers input personal and vehicle information as well as driving history, including the model of car they drive and whether they have a prior hit-and-run violation on their record. A hit-and-run violation is defined as the failure to stop and report when involved in an accident. The number of each car model with a hit-and-run offense was then compared against the total vehicles of that model to determine the share of cars with a hit-and-run. The 10 cars with the highest proportions were then selected. Additional data on the manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) comes from Autoblog, while data on the percentage of cars with an accident was also compiled from the Insurify database.
10. Volvo S60
- Proportion of Volvo S60s with a hit-and-run violation: 18 out of 10,000
- Percentage of Volvo S60s with a prior accident: 19.98%
Marketed as a sport sedan for drivers that stand apart, the Volvo S60 does indeed stand apart, just in an unsavory way. S60 drivers commit hit-and-run violations at a rate six times the national average. Clearly, people who own the S60 are a little too reckless on the roads—something that might be a little surprising, considering the car's manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) is $36,050, highest of any car in the top 10.
9. Chevrolet C2500
- Proportion of Chevrolet C2500s with a hit-and-run violation: 19 out of 10,000
- Percentage of Chevrolet C2500s with a prior accident: 8.49%
One of two pickup trucks on the list, the Chevrolet C2500 is cheaper than all but one other car on the list—though much of that likely has to do with the fact that the C2500 actually hasn't been produced since 2000. Interestingly, despite having a high rate of hit-and-run violations, C2500 drivers appear to be relatively safe drivers. No car in the top 10 has a lower percentage of models with a prior accident, and drivers of the C25200 commits accidents at a rate 37 percent less than the national average.
8. Subaru WRX
- Proportion of Subaru WRXs with a hit-and-run violation: 19 out of 10,000
- Percentage of Subaru WRXs with a prior accident: 24.9%
The WRX has been labeled by Subaru as a sport sedan, and it certainly has the features to match. The Japanese automaker has installed a variety of performance components, including performance brakes and a direct-injection turbocharged engine. However, it also performs in all the wrong ways. The WRX has the fifth-highest proportion of models with an accident of any car, the highest proportion of speeding tickets, and the second-highest proportion of DUI violations.
7. Chevrolet Lumina
- Proportion of Chevrolet Luminas with a hit-and-run violation: 20 out of 10,000
- Percentage of Chevrolet Luminas with a prior accident: 11%
Much like the C2500, the Lumina is no longer in production. The latest model of the car was made in 2001, but that doesn't stop it from being among the car models with the highest proportion of hit-and-run violations. Despite this, the Lumina is also one of four models on the top 10 with a rate of accidents that is significantly below the national mean.
6. Mitsubishi Endeavor
- Proportion of Mitsubishi Endeavors with a hit-and-run violation: 22 out of 10,000
- Percentage of Mitsubishi Endeavors with a prior accident: 18.25%
One of two separate Mitsubishi SUV models on the list, the Endeavor has a proportion of models with a hit-and-run violation that is over seven times the national average. The SUV was the very first model of Mitsubishi's "Project America," which was an effort by the Japanese manufacturer to design and build core models in the United States. The project continues to this day, though the Endeavor has since been shelved, with production finishing in 2011. Nevertheless, when the model was still being made it was one of the more expensive SUV options out there. Despite being off the market for eight years, the Endeavor still has an MSRP that is more expensive than all but one other car in the top 10.
5. Pontiac Montana
- Proportion of Pontiac Montanas with a hit-and-run violation: 22 out of 10,000
- Percentage of Pontiac Montanas with a prior accident: 12.39%
The Pontiac Montana is yet another model in the top 10 that no longer sells in stores. Its final year of production was 2006 in the United States, and the plant which manufactured the Montana closed in 2008. In addition to a high proportion of hit-and-run violations, the Montana also had safety concerns of its own. In 1997, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the first versions of the car a poor safety rating after a failed frontal crash test, though those concerns were rectified in later models.
4. Chevrolet Uplander
- Proportion of Chevrolet Uplanders with a hit-and-run violation: 23 out of 10,000
- Percentage of Chevrolet Uplanders with a prior accident: 13.34%
The Uplander—another minivan—is among the more affordable options on the list. Just three cars in the top 10 have a cheaper MSRP. Originally manufactured in 2004, slow sales of the model meant the car had a short lifespan of just five years. In fact, the Uplander was the last minivan ever made by Chevrolet; the company exited the minivan market after ceasing Uplander production in 2009 and turned to focus on pickup trucks.
3. Dodge RAM 2500
- Proportion of Dodge RAM 2500s with a hit-and-run violation: 25 out of 10,000
- Percentage of Dodge RAM 2500s with a prior accident: 22.43%
The Dodge RAM 2500 doesn't just have a high proportion of models with a hit-and-run violation. In fact, 4.95 percent of RAM 2500 drivers have a prior DUI conviction, the highest percentage of any car model. As well, the share of RAM 2500 motorists with an accident is nearly 67 percent greater than the national average, though the truck is marketed as a heavy-duty pickup vehicle that is more suited for towing large loads than everyday driving.
2. Mitsubishi Outlander
- Proportion of Mitsubishi Outlanders with a hit-and-run violation: 25 out of 10,000
- Percentage of Mitsubishi Outlanders with a prior accident: 17.81%
One of the best-selling plug-in electric vehicles on the market, the Outlander is also the only electric vehicle on the top 10. Though the electric version was unveiled in 2012 in Paris, the Outlander is actually one of Mitsubishi's longest-selling vehicles, having been on the market since 2001. Nevertheless, Outlander drivers are evidently reckless on the roads. The SUV's percentage of models with a prior accident is well above the national average, while 25 out of every 10,000 Outlander drivers also have a hit-and-run violation—more than all but one other model.
1. Toyota Echo
- Proportion of Toyota Echos with a hit-and-run violation: 33 out of 10,000
- Percentage of Toyota Echos with a prior accident: 11.92%
The top spot on the list, however, indisputably belongs to the Echo. The proportion of Echo drivers with a prior accident is 32 percent greater than any other model, and 11 times the national average. The Echo is also notably cheaper than any other model on the list, and was originally part of an effort from Toyota to market to younger drivers. However, that cheapness also meant that the car came without fairly standard features, like power-assisted steering, and air conditioning. The design flaws meant that sales of the car quickly tanked, and it wasn't a surprise to many automotive reviewers when Toyota ended production of the vehicle in 2005.

And abbreviations can sure be problematic:
Thanks Terry P., Stefani C., Cindy G., Tyler H., Christine M., & Lindsay W., although after these wrecks I think I need to sit a spell.
When professional cakes go horribly, hilariously wrong.
Wait, was that "Mathew" one written on a latte?! O_o
Either that, or that's some EXTREMELY frothy icing! :D
Carmiehead, the Un-Stalker
WV: "phering" I'ma phering the wurst 'bout these hear mispellin's.
I think that last one is "Bed or Luck Lindsay".
I thought it was a pirate cake... "our prayers AAR with you."
I'm seeing AAR rather than Aur, which makes it a pirate cake. Not sure it fits with the message, though.
It's sew hard two get these wright!
"Aur"??? Really? REALLY??
And I thought it was bad when people couldn't tell the difference between "are" and "our". It never occurred to me that they would make a mash-up.
The upside is that maybe kids today will find it easier to understand and enjoy Chaucer and other pre-standardized-spelling authors....(I can always hope, right?)
Pretty sure that first cake came out of the kitchen of a French restaurant - "Appy Birthday, Roberta" (say it in your best french accent and it makes sense).
It luks tu me lyk the 3rd kayk had an eria that was skraypt off and the existing riting was added abuv it.
I luv thees kayks!!
Maybe the first one is a carrot cake for their Appaloosa named Roberta...?
I'm not sure "Mathew" with one T is a wreck; I've actually met a Mathew, and I've also met a Scot, both with one T. But it boggles the mind if a wreckerator took so much time to make sure the unusual spelling of a name was correct while neglecting to check if any of other standard English words were.
Well when I put Happy Birthday on a cake I make it in all caps other then the h in Birthday. It's sort of my way of signing my cakes.
No, no, no! "Ready in 5 Mutant Ninja Turtles!" How could you have misconstrued something so simple??
Lindsay, you either have bed or luck, you can't have both. I don't know if I could make that decision, I really really like my bed!
As a former special education teacher, these were quite easy to read.
I'm glad my former students have found employment. I miss each and every one of them and I wish you would stop kritisizing them.
I didn't know a cookie could be ready in 5 mountains... what is that in metric?
Bed or luck? Which will she choose?! The suspense is killing me!
And a shout-out to Mathew: Yoo-hoo! (But I think that one actually calls for running alongside a train at the station, waving a hankie.)
wv: dinsups- A word for wreckies who are conflicted about what to call the evening meal.
here's what's really sad...the cake with Appy ... that's written on the PLATE. it would be really SIMPLE to wipe off teh chocolate sauce and try again. it's not like you'd have to scrape it off the cake.
Maybe the wreckorator for the first one had a Cockney accent? And, I'll admit, the last one had me stumped until I read your caption. Well done. Well done indeed.
It's a straight choice between "bad" or "luck". I know which I'd choose :)
Flashing back to FalkerSatherhood right now LOL
I didn't know a cookie could be ready in 5 mountains... what is that in metric?
22 hills.
- Cheryl
Did anyone else want to say "Guv'nuh" after the first one? You know, like, "Cheerio" and all that? Someone? Anyone? No? *oknevermindthen*
Poor Lindsay has to choose between a bed and luck. Why can't a girl have both? I needed a giggle right now.
Hey! Someone spelled her name the same way as me!
See, I ain't the only one.
My first thought was that the first cake was a (very tall) bee hive and they were doing a play on words with apiary.
wv: propre - appropiate for this post.
No no no, that's not a dotted "u" on that cake. It clearly says:
Our Prayers Aur Wirth You
Yes, you are worthy of our prayers. Or our prayers are worthy of you. Or something like that.
Maybe the customer had the Cockney accent and it was a phone order. We certainly know how literal-minded / opposed to double-checking wreckerators can be.
@Anne-with-an-e, I'm a Scot -- in that I have Scottish ancestors.
I think written Modern English will soon be as incomprehensible to modern readers as Old or Middle English -- except to someone fluent in text-speak. Perhaps legions of teenagers will find employment as 'scribes' (great news for parents, but...?). Be afraid. Be very afraid.
I'm a little in shock. Surely those are gag cakes, right?
See now, I thought it said bed or lick.
The first one reminds me of when I went to a restaurant in So Cal where they wrote on the plate: "Jappy Birthday!" Hey! It makes sense if your first language is Spanish!
When I want a laugh...I go to Cake Wrecks...love it
methinks English is a second language to these people. or they're high school dropouts.
and you just know "Gud Luck" and Lindsay's cake were done by someone new on the job (check out the shaky piping skills), someone who doesn't DO that job, you know, like the guy mopping the floor who's flagged down by a customer while the bakery staff was on a break and they insisted he do the cake?
Either that, or a 5 year old. That's how they spell. And probably they can't manage a piping back (look at the wimpy, shaky piping job)
I'm with Carrie and mimi. That's definitely "AAR" and it's clearly a pirate cake. But I could also swear that it says "prayers aar WIRTH you." So who is this "Wirth" fellow?
"Appy Birthday Roberta. U aar h-less!"
@Anne-with-an-e: The Wrecky part is the "yoe", not the name ;)
Bed or Luck (I hope it was an L) Lindsay sounds like a weird proposition
If you look closer, it is "Appy Biday" written on the plate, which leads me to believe that Roberta was celebrating the completion of her bathroom renovations in a fancy French restaurant. Unfortunately the "decorator" must not be able to spell in either French or English...
On another note, why is it that most of those horrible spelling catastrophes look like the perpetrator is terrified that their supervisor will get wise to the fact that they are just flying by the seat of their pants and don't really know how to spell?
Why are you hating on Mississippi?
I think it's supposed to be "Best of luck." What a shame; the cake's so pretty aside from the writing.
Now, to be fair, that first one isn't really a cake, it's just a slice on a plate, so it's not like the inscription was piped by a professional cake decorator. More likely a Latino line cook with a squeeze bottle of sauce.
And anyone who can -write- on a -latte- gets my vote, even when they get a little sloppy.
Bed or luck... I choose bed. After all, luck can turn, but my bed will always be here.
Two phunny.
Tante: Mississippi has an unfortunately high illiteracy rate. Compared to the rest of the country, anyways.
There is such thing as a dotted U. Like this:
But serously, I once had a cake I had to have (over the phone) someone write my name on it. My name is tricky. It happens to be Morgana Rose. Yeah. Seriously. But instead I got a cake that said:
"Morgan, Anna, Rose, Happpy. Brthdy!"
I never forgot that.
- AvengersWasp(AKA Morgana Rose, AKAA Morgan Anna Rose)
Oh yes, Marcy W. I can't stop thinking "Appy Birthday, Guvna!" Too funny. Now I feel like watching My Fair Lady.
ack - shouldn't there be some sort of requirement for cake decorators... like a Kindergarten Diploma?
"aur" made me want to throw something - like that cake.
(and after reading all the comments, I don't think it was a Mississippi haters issue - but the fact that it would have been a riot to see the wreckers try to spell the name of the state - really... I'm sure Mississippi is lovely)
Actually, they are trying to tell you that the second cake will be ready in 5 Mutant Ninja Turtles...
I thought the "Mississippi" part was that the state's name is difficult (for some people) to spell.
wv: lingni--what might show up on the menu of an Italian restaurant if a Wreckerator did the typesetting
I think that last cake really says "Bed AK Luk Lirdsay" if we assume that the triangle with a circle is a "d". Or maybe it's "Bed Luk AK Lirdsay". Anybody been to Bed Luk, Alaska?
WV- rater. See you rater, alligator.
I think that last one was done with someone with rheumatoid arthritis.
Maybe it's just because 10th-grade vocab words stick with me, but I have to second an earlier poster: My immediate reaction to the "Appy" cake was, "Well, that IS a beehive, and 'apiary' is a beekeeping word." While I usually am as appalled as others at insane mistakes, I can't imagine anyone seriously forgetting the "H" on "Happy." Let's quit buzzing about this one.
In the bakers' defense, letters are stupid. Espicially when it takes part of your slacking-off time to write them. And sometimes I like to make new words, too. Like "strinkles". Which is a jacked-up version of sprinkles. Gotta love jacked-up words. :)
$20.00 for a cake that says "Gud luck"! These are sad,very sad and make my he'd ake!

Perhaps the first one is an attempt by Joe's Diner and Lube to get a shout-out from the snooty restaurant reviewer who only likes fancy restaurants. Unfortunately, it is the line cook's first day, he just out of prison, and he doesn't understand Joe's British accent.
Epic Fail. Every time I look at this, I can't help but think that this is to big of a coincidence. Me and my friends jacked-up the word sprinkles at least a million times today. Versions included strinkles, strinklies, striles, and sprinklies.
I still want sprinkles. And a cake with correct spelling (for ONCE, please let someone actually spell everything correctly! [ my faith in good cakes is being ruined!]).
I think that that last one is supposed to say best of luck. But bed or luck is much funnier. :D
whhooked on fonics wurked fur mee
Holy Carp!!! (yeah, reverse those 2 middle letters)
$19.99 for Gud Luck?? How much for Good Luck?? And what's a "gud" anyway? I know cows chew cud and I lost a shoe in mud once. "Pud" used to be a rude word to call someone. Bud is on a flower, dud is a good think with a bomb, can you have a single sud??
-Barbara Anne
I guess that's what you get for ordering now--in 5 minutes, we really don't have time to space it correctly to fit the entire word, so we'll just make do with the key letters so you can figure the rest out yourselves...
And why would you make a 'sign' out of the giant cookie? Is this supposed to be like those homes with signs for their landscaping business stuck in a really pathetic looking yard--where you hope it's just that they are so busy making masterpieces out of everyone else's yards that they don't have the time or energy to do their own, and that their yard is not a true representation of their work??
I think the misspellings on Mathew's dessert distract from the real question--what on earth is that? It looks kind of like a sushi roll, but with foam instead of rice...
Turns out there are at least two people named "Gud Luck" on Facebook, so maybe the cake was for one of them. Not sure what those little shiny balls above the curling ribbon really are--small round candles? (I see wicks??)
Poor Lindsey. Whoever wrote that on her cake was either drunk or in a very big hurry to make sure she got her cake. Lol scary wreckerators..maybe I should be one for Halloween and scare the neighborhood.
The chocolate sauce around the cake...
I totally read that as "Sappy Birthday" which then made me come up with a mental list of all other potential options you could put on someone's cake.
Crappy Birthday! - for you toilet trained 2yo.
Sappy Birthday! - for young love
Nappy Birthday! - for great-grandpa
Cappy Birthday! - for your favorite baseball fan!
Fappy....uh....let's not go there...
Flappy Birthday! - for the pet bird
Gappy Birthday! - perfect for the 7yo missing a few teeth
Rappy Birthday - for the 16yo across the street that insists on rattling your windows with his new stereo
My mind must be weird.
If it's going to take five months to deliver the cake it better be good.
Sometimes I can forgive some of the decorators mistakes that show up (especially since I'm pretty sure I just misspelled decorator....twice now). But 'Gud'...there's no excuse for that.
I can understand that, in a low-paying job category, some may have poor literacy skills-- so words like "abysmal" would be a challenge. But words like "good" or "better" or "are" or "happy" are at the Grade 2 level!
#1 I think people's hypothesis of French or Spanish speaker make some sense...
#2 You can have fast or accurate, but not both!
#3 They love his toes to a "t" (but not the rest of him?)
#4 flotsam, no decoration, terribly piped horrendously mis-spelled words, for $20?! How did they get "luck" right and not "good"? And given the shakiness, I think they need a doctor...
#5 It's nicely lettered-- I can see how "with" happened: they were so busy focusing on the lettering they lost count of the bumps. But "aur"?
#6 someone with a bad cold phoned in the order? Notice they couldn't spell either "better" or "luck", but they got "Lindsay" right? Or else Lindsay isn't getting lucky tonight...
It wouldn't surprise me if the person who was behind cake number one was a Cockney. "'Ow do ya spell 'appy, any-oo?"
Katie F.
I think the wreck that says "Mathew" on it is a cookie or some kind of wafer. It looks like a hand behind it, unless that is a foot which would be a wreck of another kind.
I just asked my Kindergartner son how to spell good. His answer "G-O-O-D" I'm thinking that cake decorating is not in his future- he can spell!
WV: balne- My balne has a first name. It's O-S-K-R. My balne has a second name, it's "What is it? I can't read this order form. I'll just have to make up the rest. The Weinermobile will be here to pick up their Hot Dog cake in 10 minutes."
I first saw "Our Prampers Aar Wuth You."
Is it just me or is it really hard to believe sometimes that these are actually made by professionals? The one for Lindsay, for instance, has a frosting flower that looks reasonably well made, but then the lettering looks like it was done by a kindergartener.
Many of them I really do believe, and those are the ones that crack me up and make me love this blog so much!
Oh no. I recognize the cake in picture #1 from the Italian chain restaurant I work at. Yikes. Who let that out of the kitchen???
If it's any consolation the cake itself is very good (that enormous slice is the typical serving size).
Honestly, one would think that decent literacy and handwriting skills would be non-negotiable in hiring cake decorators who are going to be let loose on the writing part.
I didn't think no 1 was a beehive, looks more like a wedge of cake to me. I agree with Ferralyn, my first thought was it was in a French patisserie :-)
As an intelligent Mississippian, I can predict that you just ticked off all of your Mississippi readers. Not a smooth move.
If the first one had an apostrophe before the "Appy" I would have accepted some sort of Eliza Doolittle tribute.
You have it wrong. The idea was that the decorator probably saw "Good luck in Mississippi" on the order form and gave up because Mississippi is too hard to spell. And, if you think about it, by default, if the destination was Mississippi, the point of origin for the cake would have to be anywhere but Mississippi.
Boo don't hate on Mississippi! - Louren
I think it says "Bed or Lick Lindsay". Oh the choices, but I'm not sure where she's been.
Pssst! "Mtn" stands for "mountain", not "mnt".

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.
