The First Censored Cake Wreck
Tuesday, July 22, 2008
Egads, people, what is going on at today's baby showers?!? First the boobie cake, then the edible baby, and now this!
Obviously, this is wrong on a level so VERY wrong that it doesn't really need elaboration. However, I feel compelled to point out that the, er, "mom" here has the face of a blow-up doll, is completely nekkid (is that a new trend in delivery rooms?), and is anatomically correct where you wouldn't expect her to be (ergo the censor bars - sorry, fellas!).
I'm picturing the games they played at this baby shower: "Pin the Epidural", "Catch the After-birth", and of course the ever popular "Guess Whose Hoo-Haw?". Yeesh - just what do you suppose the party favors were? No, wait, let's not go there...
(Liz P., thanks for sharing - I think.)
UPDATE: I am both surprised and amused at the number of you moms out there who have let it be known that not only is the whole "nekkid" delivery thing in vogue, but you have partaken of the activity yourself. A little TMI, yes, but I can honestly say I've learned something here. (Never post nekkid fondant figures again. Like, ever.)

Man..I thought the cake with the flys was bad! This is in really bad taste.

I've seen that cake before and if I remember the story behind it correctly, the mom to be had a really weird sense of humor, and loved the cake. *shrug* Takes a special person, doesn't it?
- July 22, 2008 at 4:28 PM
- Jen said...
Yes, I forgot to mention in the post that if you want to see the uncensored version, check out the original site. Perv. ;)
Also, there's one or two other PG-13 rated cakes on there, so keep that in mind if the kids are nearby. - July 22, 2008 at 4:32 PM

I feel terribly sorry for Olivia--even if, as Jade suggested above, she liked the cake (which only means she has horrible taste). I also wish I could have been a fly on the wall when this was ordered.
Customer: "Okay, on the right we want *this* text."
Order clerk: "Mmmkay. Got it."
Customer: "For the other side, here's what we were thinking: Can we get a....?"
Order clerk: <blink> <blink> "Uh..."
I'll bet the shop that made this saw an unprecedented spike in cake orders from teenage males the following week. - July 22, 2008 at 4:34 PM
Wait, are these the same people that got the carrot riding baby cakes? :)
- July 22, 2008 at 7:28 PM
if the lips aren't enough to convince you that Olivia is, in fact, a blow up doll, the unedited version... good grief...
- July 22, 2008 at 10:35 PM
This site is so hilarious. And hey, for the record, I stripped naked during both of my kids births. It's hard work and I was hot! ;-)

I think you need to take the censoring covers off if you're going to show it. It's Art, however frightening and only in puritanical Holy Roller America is a woman's body obscene. Not that this cake isn't a nightmare, but show some respect for freakshows. If you're going to show it, show it all.
- July 23, 2008 at 8:51 AM
I was completely nekkid for my second birth. It's quite common for mothers to shed more and more clothing as labor progresses.
However, I don't need that memory immortalized in fondant form. *lol* Great blog! - July 23, 2008 at 10:00 AM
That cake is wrong on so many levels... the first that comes to mind is the complete and total lack of appetite afer viewing a birth on cake. Wow...
- July 23, 2008 at 10:12 AM
- Unknown said...
Um, yeah, actually, a lot of people are naked when they have their babies.
Other than that, agreed. - July 23, 2008 at 11:06 AM
- Wendy said...
I was totally nekked when I gave birth, but I never needed it commemorated in cake form.
- July 23, 2008 at 1:11 PM
- Jen said...
zenwaitress, the uncensored photo can be seen on the link in the picture, and all are welcome to view it there. I think you're being pretty generous to call this "art", but on that perhaps we can agree to disagree?
Also, I apologize if the conservative nature of my blog has offended you. That was never the intent, and I certainly never imagined covering up fondant genitals would be construed as showing a lack of respect. To make it up to you, I've typed this reply while in the nude. Hope that helps. - July 23, 2008 at 2:57 PM
That's seriously disturbing.
- July 23, 2008 at 2:58 PM
This cake is icky and gross.
- July 23, 2008 at 4:12 PM
- B. Durbin said...
There's a bakery in Denver called "Le Bakery Sensual." I had a friend who got a bachelorette cake from them... an anatomically correct cake with the title "To Have and To Hold."
Some places will not only make anything out of fondant and marzipan, but they get their primary clientele by advertising they will do so... - July 23, 2008 at 4:48 PM
- Big Mama said...
Heh heh, found your blog via a chat room and laughed my head off at this cake. Yeah, lots of moms give birth stark naked, though in this day and age they should have included the IV tube and monitor and stuff.
Also, the baby usually emerges face down, not face up.
Actually, I think the bakery employee did a rather nice job, all things considered. - July 23, 2008 at 5:16 PM
- Blogga Lugosi said...
I for one, independent of politics, religion or taking things too seriously, am deeply relieved you censored it. I just wouldn't have been prepared to see that!
(Great blog, btw! I've been reading it for the last hour!) - July 23, 2008 at 5:33 PM
- Pirikara said...
haha, great site you have!
- July 23, 2008 at 6:10 PM
Yeah, it's MUCH more comfortable to give birth naked than not.
And, for the record, I also have a strange sense of humor and would have LOVED to have this cake at my baby shower. Memorable, creative, presumably yummy. What's not to like? - July 23, 2008 at 7:17 PM
- Magpie said...
but funny. - July 23, 2008 at 8:20 PM
"is anatomically correct where you wouldn't expect her to be"
I expect all naked figures to be as anatomically correct as possible, and I don't understand nudity taboo at all. - July 23, 2008 at 10:03 PM
- Tracy said...
Great blog! I wish I had thought of it!
Personally, if it were my cake and I had a choice, I'd rather have this one than the scary realistic baby one that's a few posts down. For one thing, how would you cut the baby one? I'd rather be funny than creepy. - July 24, 2008 at 12:08 AM
This cake makes me want to get pregnant again just so I can have a replica at my shower.
Yummy and funny, what could be better? - July 24, 2008 at 1:30 AM
- Bec said...
LOL! I'd have LOVED this cake!
I wore the same for birth as i did for conception... Nothing! ;)
What a great cake! And what a fab blog :) - July 24, 2008 at 5:36 AM
Okay people! I don't care that all of you have given birth in your b-day suits, it is still disturbing/unnecessary to re-create it. We can think out-side the box with out going crazy!
- July 24, 2008 at 11:04 AM
This was the first cake I ever saw on your site. I will be visiting every day as I have never seen anything so funny in my whole internet life.

Speaking as one who, briefly, had a cake decorating business - I'd say that I'm appalled, but that doesn't begin to cover it! LOL
Love your blog, btw, great visuals and very funny! - July 24, 2008 at 3:45 PM
The cake was hilarious... yes, some people have a twisted sense of humor, and more power to 'em!
What I'm curious about is why you'd assume women would WEAR CLOTHES when they're delivering a baby... In labor, sure, strolling around the birth center, but why during delivery? You're in and out of the shower or soaking tub, in most hospitals anyway. It's messy and sweaty and you're adjusting position every five minutes, which would just make you get tangled in a hospital gown, plus as soon as the baby's delivered they plunk the little greasy slimy darling on your chest to nurse. Maybe you're just going by the image of childbirth they show on TV. It's not *really* like TV, though, and the sedated, highly medicalized hospital births of the 1950's (and their correspondingly high rate of complications) are, fortunately, a thing of the past. - July 24, 2008 at 5:44 PM
- Unknown said...
I'm laughing at this cake. Fairly obscene, but definitely humurous. . .and yeah, I did do the nekkid birth too. . but I was at home.
keep up the great cake work! Love this blog, great discovery! - July 24, 2008 at 7:41 PM

I think the real reason for her to be naked is that this is supposed to be a water birth... hence the little waves and the blue color. I dunno about Us, but here in CR water births are real expensive... there's nothing worse that rich people with BAD taste, they can really make your eyes bleed

First, I love your blog. My monitor was in serious jeopardy of being sprayed with coffee from laughing.
No words for this cake.
What I want to know is how does one go about ordering a cake such as this? - July 26, 2008 at 12:23 AM
- jennifer said...
I have to say me too on the whole giving birth naked. But if you can't understand it, you've probably never given birth!
HOWEVER, I didnt want any color photographs or video of the event, NOR would I ever have it memorialized in fondant. egads!

Hmmm maybe it's just California over here but everyone I know was naked during labor!
And I've seen some great sculpted "labor and delivery" head-coming-out baby shower cakes! - July 26, 2008 at 2:04 AM
haha this cake is hilarious or was it your write up ?
my clothes stayed on in the delivery room if I had my way so would have my knickers and gee maybe even my dignity might have stayed too :) but now lots of people have seen it and even more nurse have squeezed and pushed my milking nipples..
oh dignity where for ought thou? - July 26, 2008 at 9:55 AM

I am getting this cake for my best friend. So funny...not that I would serve it to her at a SHOWER with other people around, and I would probably have had the bakery put a bikini on the mom. But you know...this is really funny!
- July 27, 2008 at 11:46 PM
Uh yeah... I just saw the original version of this cake and dear lord, was the mother ever busty!
I know it's childbirth and should be completely devoid of any sexuality, but it really felt pornographic to look at it. - July 28, 2008 at 7:32 PM
- 'dapants said...
Just to add to the censorship debate, I view this at work. I am a huge fan of nakedness and yay for natural childbirth. My boss on the other hand, not so much. Now that I'm home and have seen the real cake. Wow ... Just wow. It's pretty amazing.
Also, I just found this blog thanks to craft mag's posting, and it is great. Can't wait to check back. Often. - July 29, 2008 at 4:14 AM

Ok people, childbirth in the nude is fine, but on a cake?? Seriously, who wants to eat a cake that a child has been delivered on? Absolutely horrid.
- August 13, 2008 at 12:44 AM
baby showers are freakshows. Im not surprised by this at all. Its right up there with people eating placenta. f*n gross.
- August 18, 2008 at 1:14 PM
- Katie said...
Just imagine the rest of the theme for that baby shower! UGH!!!
- August 19, 2008 at 10:09 AM
Although I cannot claim to be a professional, back in the day I was asked to make many a birthday cake for friend's and their kids. Then there was this one couple - it was his 30th Bday, and she had recently found out that she was not his "one and Only" - so after telling me the whole story, I agreed to help her "surprise" him at his birthday party. A long sheet cake, a round cake cut in half, one peice either side, realistic frosting - pointing directly at him. Anatomically correct for his gender, and describing his behaviour at the same time. LOLOLOL

- eulogos said...
I think most women don't want any clothes on when they give birth. If you are really giving birth, the openness and effort required are not consonant with feeling that you need to keep covered.
Obstetric comment on the cake; by the time the baby is out that far, there is no need to push.
I think the cake is funny and I would have appreciated it at a baby shower with like minded folk, say, midwives and other natural birth advocates. It wouldn't be appropriate at a shower where you ask your mother and his mother and the girls from the office.

Three words: that's not cool
- August 26, 2008 at 9:05 PM
What is soooooooo gross and bad about childbirth that it has to be censoured??? Get a grip people, babies come out of VAGINAS!!!
OK so I don't reallllly see the need to put it on a cake, but each to their own! - August 27, 2008 at 2:21 AM

I'm just glad she didn't have a c-section.
- September 6, 2008 at 4:31 PM
I think the cake is absolutely hilarious. If anyone if offened by showing of candy and icing external genitalia and breasts (posed in way to depict chilbirth not sexually), then I think people need to lighten up a bit. Thats where babies came from and really what the anatamy was originally designed for. Anyway, I am going to try and get a similar made for my friends baby sore. She will have it after the baby is born so I think she will it as even more comical and I write congratulations on it or something

i think there are other ways to have a fun shower cake without being....that special. i am well aware where babies come from, but grandma and auntie sue do not need to be feasting on part of my breast while i open up packages of onies.

- October 18, 2008 at 12:00 PM

Well, she's going to catch, of course! ;)
LOVE IT! I bet my midwifery friends would get a HUGE kick out of it, too (and in fact, I'm going to email them all the link! :D)
Thanks for the blog. I laugh out loud every time! - October 31, 2008 at 6:18 PM

ROFL! I actually know who had this particular cake. And yes, it's from an L&D Nurse. We have a warped sense of humor!
- November 5, 2008 at 10:03 AM
OMG, and you wondered who would want to eat the baby cake? Who would eat this???
Oh and btw, I was clothed when giving birth as much as I could be, even wore my bra! Some of us aren't into the every body sees everything bit~ - November 30, 2008 at 12:11 AM
OMG! I used to think it was 'extreme' creating butt cakes, boob cakes and pe&is cakes, but this is too too much! Wow! I can't even imagine the sick bunch of people enjoying this cake??? I hope the cake is not split down the middle with some type of red fruit filling!

- Jill said...
Not every "normal" and "natural" event needs to be immortalized in fondant. I mean, there's nothing sexual or naughty about going to the bathroom, either, but I'm not ordering the Watch Me Defecate cake any time soon. Some people just have very Freudian senses of humor, I guess.
- December 10, 2008 at 6:26 PM
Okay so if I choose to get a colonoscopy in the nude, do ya'll want to see it on my Get Well cake?
agreed...be nekkid during childbirth but on a cake?
art? is anything a person does besides think in their head, art? - December 21, 2008 at 1:01 AM
at least the punctuation is right on!
- December 30, 2008 at 11:27 PM
This cake is hilarious.
I have to make a comment about child birth. I find it quite odd to be totally taken during child birth. I was only naked from the waste down, as that's all that's needed. Yeah I was hot, but didn't continue to shed all of my clothes. Odd .. and yes, I live in CA. - January 26, 2009 at 5:25 PM
Well, at least correct punctuation was used in the message on the cake.
- January 28, 2009 at 11:46 PM
That's seriously gross, but *almost* funny. I'd never be able to eat that cake, though.
BTW - I've had 3 babies and kept myself as covered as possible (with the hospital gown) the whole time. Giving birth did NOT take away my modesty at all. I also do not have a single friend who was naked during childbirth. - February 5, 2009 at 1:34 AM
- kelly said...
I don't find this offensive at all. But then, my second birth was naked, in a tub, at home, and was awesome!
Love this site! My husband and I have been laughing, laughing, laughing! - February 9, 2009 at 1:33 AM
Nice cake. But what is the meaning of this pics on this cake ?
- February 10, 2009 at 1:13 AM
Ummm...wow. Odd cake.
I've given birth to 3 kiddos that are still young and don't remember being naked or not. Must of been too busy to notice.
Funny stuff! - February 14, 2009 at 2:57 AM
- ... said...
Actually, I find the encouraging message on this cake rather charming :]
And I always appreciate a confidently rendered fondant childbirth scene.
The thing that seems off to ME is the way "Olivia" is lying like a discarded barbie on a featureless expanse of floor, as though she just hit the deck and started squeezing out infants.
Love your blog <3. - March 7, 2009 at 3:27 AM

ive had 6 children and i can honestly say that i never once got the urge to strip..it was bad enough with all the medical students trying to watch "down there" as if it were cable tv or something! i had a gown on in the front, and in the back with a sheet over myself.
- March 11, 2009 at 2:41 PM
- Maradee said...
And she would have had to push REALLY hard because the baby is looking UP and not down...most babies are NOT born this way! Push! As a labor and delivery nurse, I think this is pretty darn funny!
- March 18, 2009 at 10:23 PM
- Christina said...
First, I love this site. This is my first visit and I can not stop looking, readig or laughing. Second, this cake is in extremely bad taste. I have a twisted sense of humor, but this is wrong. Who gets the piece with the vag on it? Third, I have given birth four times and NEVER felt the need to get naked. No whirlpool tubs, no drugs or epidurals (ever) and still kept the hospital gown on. There was enough of me hanging out already, I didn't need the girls making an appearance as well.
-Christina - May 4, 2009 at 10:40 PM
I have to say - having worked in the medical field, I understand the sense of humor for labor & delivery nurses & this type of cake fits to a tee. Some are saying that kids are born face-down, yes, that is the normal - but both of mine were face up. This type of delivery involves low back pain rather than the spread-out frontal delivery pain. Believe me, it is extremely painful because ALL the pain is in the low back. By the way, I kept clothed for both deliveries Juls

Am I the only one who thinks that baby looks like an alien?
- June 14, 2009 at 6:24 PM

I had a hospital gown on when I gave birth. I didn't have any problems with it at all. I was also put on magnesium for pre-eclampsia which makes you feel HOT all over but I didn't need to take off the gown and it didn't even occur to me to do so at the time.
Childbirth is natural and beautiful, but not everyone is comfortable viewing it. The person who ordered the cake was a L&D nurse so she was probably completely used to this sorta thing. The woman on the cake looks like a barbie doll sorta, though. The legs disturb me somehow. Also the baby looks honkin' big! - June 17, 2009 at 8:18 PM
- Marissa Dean said...
I think this cake is actually kinda neat. I am a doula and dream of being a midwife in the next few years, so I think any type of celebration of birth is a good thing. I don't think i could eat it mind you, the idea of eating a birthing woman is kinda strange.
I had a homebirth last year and I couldn't stand the feeling of clothes on my skin. I laboured and birthed completely naked, but I also have at least one hour of naked time a day. I am comfortable in my own skin I guess. - July 12, 2009 at 10:14 PM
Wow... I'm a little late since I just discovered this wonderful blog, but I just had to say, "good grief"! (Did you like the quotation marks? I'll throw in some more later and maybe I'll even misspell something.)
Anyhoo, I don't know where all these free loving hippie types are coming out of the woodwork to comment on this cake, but I have never been, or ever met, anyone who has been completely naked while giving birth.
I just had my third child last summer and wore a robe all the way to down "there". The only visible parts were the whowho (just barely) and my legs.
I definitely would not want anyone I don't know (nurses), or especially someone I do (my mother-in-law) to see me naked, much less have it replicated on a cake. Ew!!!!! At least put her in a hospital gown for the sake of those that are going to be eating it! - August 21, 2009 at 3:44 PM
I don't care how "in vogue" nude labor is, I would sure hate to be the person who gets the puckered labia slice of cake.

And for the birth of the next baby... we'll feature the afterbirth! You can only imagine the cake they had at the commemoration of the ...circumcision? First bath? Stopping nursing? First time on potty?

Wow, it's amazing how uptight and squeamish people are. I always considered myself to be squeemish, but around a cake? I know, the subject matter makes some people queasy, but despite being "anatomically correct," it is so in such a cartoon-like (non-realistic) way, for me it takes any potential grossness factor out of the picture. When you eat an animal cracker, do you really imagine yourself devouring that entire animal, head an all?
The other thing around the giving birth naked issue that some have alluded to indirectly is that there is no hospital gown in home births, nor in many birth-centers. You might bring your own robe or nightgown you are comfortable with, but one of the stages that most women experience during a natural birth is a loss of inhibition.
Now, sure, if this cake was brought into your standard office, it would be inappropriate, but if it's a group of close friends, even relatives, who are all women and actually meant as funny and yes a bit shocking, then how is it a wreck? - January 17, 2010 at 11:14 PM
- Kim Mosny said...
From a midwife and home birth perspective, this cake is totally cool...
And, um... yea... most of my clients are NAKED when they give birth!

Why would someone want THAT on a cake? Boy, some people are WEIRD. - March 30, 2010 at 10:24 AM
On the original site they didn't put any bars on!

This is genius. From just having a baby 2.5 months ago, I remember how much I craved sweets, and I got to take the leftover cake home after my shower. What a great way to ensure that the guest of honor gets to take more cake home! LOL ;)
- April 13, 2010 at 11:52 PM
Also, on the original site, the 5th one....
Who would ask for THAT on a cake!?!?!
You can imagine what any little boys who saw THAT would be like:
"Mummy, why's that cake got.....?" - April 19, 2010 at 3:12 AM

Hi, there! Love your blog!!
Yes, many women do give birth naked, myself included. Point #1 - Losing modesty is a symptom of normal labor, #2 - Laboring naked is more comfortable, especially if one is going to be in and out of a shower or labor pool, and #3 - Laboring unclothed is logistically easier, since your lower half has to be open anyway, and it is healthiest and safest for baby to be put immediately on the mother's bare chest after birth for warmth, breastfeeding and snuggling. In fact, I don't know many women who DON'T give birth naked.
While I might not want this for a church shower, I would find it hilarious among intimate friends or birth workers. However, I would object to this cake on the following points: (1) the baby is coming out malpositioned in an occiput posterior position, which makes for lots of uber-yucky back labor - NOT COOL, and (2) the cake just looks like poor quality. I wouldn't want a crummy-quality cake at my shower, regardless of the comment.
Love the blog!

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? ;)

Where's the book?
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.

It's MORNING EDITION from NPR News. Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne.
And I'm Steve Inskeep. Everybody makes conversation about the weather. And today that includes President Obama. He's appearing on three network TV shows to discuss a new government report on climate change. It's on a day when the president also visits Arkansas to survey the damage from last week's tornadoes.
The president says he wants to do more than talk. He is taking steps to limit gases linked to climate change, but when it comes to this issue, Congress is no more active than it's ever been. NPR's Scott Horsley reports.
SCOTT HORSLEY, BYLINE: In addition to his network interviews, President Obama spoke yesterday with five local TV forecasters. The broadcast blitzkrieg, dubbed Weather from the White House, is designed to highlight the new National Climate Assessment. The Administration calls it the loudest alarm bell to date about the way heat-trapping gases are already re-shaping weather patterns around the country.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: This isn't something in the distant future. Climate change is already affecting us now.
HORSLEY: Obama told WLTX television in South Carolina there are steps we can take to prepare for the droughts, floods and severe storms that come with a changing climate. But just trying to adapt is not enough, he says. We also need to get control of the carbon pollution that's fueling climate change.
OBAMA: That's something we can do, but only if the American people push Washington to do it. Because typically politicians are wary about doing something on their own, particularly if they're not sure that the public supports it.
HORSLEY: Polls suggest for now that support is tepid at best. When NBC and the Wall Street Journal asked Americans to rank 15 possible priorities for the government this year, climate change was dead last. Democratic political consultant Chris Lehane says in trying to change that, the administration is wise to bring the issue to people's doorsteps.
CHRIS LEHANE: Climate change is not some abstract, faraway concept, but something that's happening right now in your daily lives. And you see what the president is doing to not only bring this to the local level in terms of impact on local communities, but actually talking through a medium that impacts local communities, which is their local weatherman, or woman.
HORSLEY: Lehane has been active in one of the most high-profile climate fights: the battle over the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, which would carry oil from the Canadian tar sands to the Gulf Coast. Opposition to Keystone has become a rallying cry for some climate activists. But former White House climate advisor Jason Bordoff says it's not the biggest policy decision facing the administration.
JASON BORDOFF: Rather than focus on a single piece of infrastructure whose climate change impact is likely to be quite limited, as the State Department's environmental review recently found, I think it's important that we focus on those other actions that are going to make the biggest dent in carbon emissions.
HORSLEY: And Bordoff, who now runs the Center for Global Energy Policy at Columbia University, says by far the biggest dent would come from new EPA rules aimed at limiting pollution from coal-fired power plants. The EPA is expected to unveil those rules next month. But Congressional Republicans are trying to block them. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell represents Kentucky, the nation's third biggest coal producing state.
SENATOR MITCH MCCONNELL: Our constituents are being hurt because of a cynical political agenda, because of a war on coal and other sources of American energy that the far left flank of the Democratic Party is simply demanding.
HORSLEY: McConnell and other Republicans want to amend an energy efficiency bill now before the Senate to limit the EPA's regulatory powers. Democratic Senate leader Harry Reid says no way.
SENATOR HARRY REID: What are the Republicans' answer to this climate change which is real? More oil production? Block regulations that protect health and environment. Deny climate change is happening at all.
HORSLEY: The fight over amendments could derail both the energy efficiency bill and a separate measure designed to give a green light to the Keystone pipeline. The pipeline measure has the backing of some Senate Democrats, including Mary Landrieu, who's facing a tough re-election bid in her home state of Louisiana. Last month the State Department said it was postponing a decision on Keystone, most likely until after the November election. Scott Horseley, NPR News, Washington.

Unlike your dog, you've probably never had the urge to lick someone to show you care. Pets not only demonstrate affection by licking but may also pass along bacteria that can trigger serious infections in humans. Although the infections aren't common, they can be severe and life-threatening in some people.
What Types of Infections Can I Get from My Dog?
Your dog can pass along the bacteria responsible for E. coli, salmonella, and campylobacter infections. These infections affect your gastrointestinal system and cause diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea, and fever. Although a bout of E. coli can be very serious, particularly in older or younger people or those with compromised immune systems, it may not be as severe as a capnocytophaga canimorsus infection.
The blood infection initially causes headaches, muscle pain, fever, and other flu-like symptoms. As the infection worsens, vomiting, abdominal pain, and confusion can occur. A capnocytophaga infection can be life-threatening. Thirty percent of people sickened by the bacteria eventually die, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
If you have a capnocytophaga infection, you may be at increased risk of developing:
- Cellulitis: This bacterial skin infection causes swelling, pain, and redness in any part of the body and often affects the lower legs.
- Low Blood Pressure: Your blood pressure may drop to dangerous levels during your illness. If your blood pressure is too low, blood flow to your arms and legs may slow or stop, leading to death of the limbs and amputation.
- Sepsis: The life-threatening condition occurs when inflammation triggered by your body's immune system damages your organs.
- Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation: Clots in your small blood vessels may lead to organ damage and dangerous internal and external bleeding.
Who Is at Risk for Capnocytophaga?
Your skin serves as a protective barrier, preventing bacteria from entering your body. If you're healthy, a lick on your hand is unlikely to cause a capnocytophaga infection. The mucous membranes of your eye, nose, and mouth don't offer the same protection as your skin. In fact, they provide convenient pathways for bacteria to enter your body. Still, most people who receive the occasional lick on the face from their dogs never become sick.
A capnocytophaga infection is more likely to occur if you already have a condition or problem that affects your health, such as:
- Loss of your spleen due to an accident or illness
- Cancer
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- Diabetes
- Excessive alcohol use
- Grave's Disease
An immune system disorder, like HIV/AIDs, or chemotherapy treatment can also increase your risk. If you have these conditions, a lick or bite, even it's minor, can lead to a capnocytophaga infection.
How can I avoid blood infections?
It's very unlikely that you'll ever develop a capnocytophaga infection if you're in good health. No matter what your health status, don't let your dog lick your skin if you have a cut, scratch, broken blister or open wound. Should your dog bite you or break your skin with its teeth, let your doctor know.
Bites, whether they're from a human or animal, may need medical attention. In fact, 1/3 of all hand infections are caused by human bites, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery. Your doctor may recommend a tetanus shot and a course of antibiotics after a bite.
You may want to reconsider letting your dog lick your face, particularly if your pet enjoys sniffing feces, dead animals, or garbage while you're out for your daily walks. Although you still probably won't get sick if your dog bathes your face in saliva, avoiding this is the simplest way to prevent infections.
Licking, whether it occurs on the hand, face or another part of the body, should be avoided if you have a risk factor for capnocytophaga infections. Every time your dog tries to lick you, distract him or her with a toy, or follow Dogster's advice and stand up and turn away for a few seconds. Eventually, your pet will understand that licking prompts you to withdraw your attention.

If doctors would just pay attention to how much things cost, they might be more careful when ordering tests for patients, right?
Well, that's the theory behind some research and projects to cut wasteful health spending. But a study at Johns Hopkins Hospital found that changing doctors' behavior may be not be as easy as simply making them aware of prices.
Radiologist and hospitalists collaborated on an experiment to see if disclosing the cost of some of the most frequently ordered imaging tests, including standard chest X-rays and CT scans of the head, would reduce their use in the hospital.
The short answer is no.
Telling doctors that a head CT would cost $229.95, for instance, didn't do much to affect the number of scans done during a six-month period when its price was revealed compared with a similar period when the price wasn't displayed on computerized ordering screens.
In the experiment, researchers disclosed the prices of five of the most frequently ordered tests and withheld the prices of five others for a period of six months.
They compared doctors' orders for both groups of tests. There was no meaningful difference between them. The findings were published online by the Journal of the American College of Radiology.
So does this mean don't bother?
"Just because cost transparency didn't work for radiographic tests doesn't mean it won't work for other diagnostic tests," said Dr. Daniel Brotman, head of the hospitalist program at Johns Hopkins and a co-author of the study. "It's important not to reach the general conclusion that cost transparency doesn't influence provider behavior."
Previous research that Brotman was involved with found that revealing prices of lab tests could make a difference. Many of those tests get ordered almost automatically without a doctor thinking very much about whether they're really necessary. Radiology tests, particularly those ordered in a teaching hospital as was the case in this study, are usually ordered with a specific reason in mind.
"When you have inpatient diagnostics being ordered by a team of physicians, the decision-making might be a little more diffuse than in other situations," he says. An attending physician might make the key decision while an intern is the one actually at the screen ordering the test — and seeing the price.
For imaging tests, he says, guidelines summarizing the medical evidence can help more than knowing the tab.
It's common knowledge there are too many MRIs ordered for back pain, he says. Most patients will get better with time. "Almost the only reason to get an MRI is because you think you might need surgery," he says.
Brotman says he would like to move beyond cost and give individual doctors information about where they stand relative to their peers in ordering various tests.
"There is so much variability in how physicians practice," he says. "One of the most important things we can do is shine a light on that and let people do self-assessments and group assessments on how they use resources."

Chapter 28
The sons of Mosiah go to preach to the Lamanites—Using the two seer stones, Mosiah translates the Jaredite plates. About 92 B.C.
1 Now it came to pass that after the sons of Mosiah had done all these things, they took a small number with them and returned to their father, the king, and desired of him that he would grant unto them that they might, with these whom they had selected, go up to the land of Nephi that they might preach the things which they had heard, and that they might impart the word of God to their brethren, the Lamanites—
2 That perhaps they might bring them to the knowledge of the Lord their God, and convince them of the iniquity of their fathers; and that perhaps they might cure them of their hatred towards the Nephites, that they might also be brought to rejoice in the Lord their God, that they might become friendly to one another, and that there should be no more contentions in all the land which the Lord their God had given them.
3 Now they were desirous that salvation should be declared to every creature, for they could not bear that any human soul should perish; yea, even the very thoughts that any soul should endure endless torment did cause them to quake and tremble.
4 And thus did the Spirit of the Lord work upon them, for they were the very vilest of sinners. And the Lord saw fit in his infinite mercy to spare them; nevertheless they suffered much anguish of soul because of their iniquities, suffering much and fearing that they should be cast off forever.
5 And it came to pass that they did plead with their father many days that they might go up to the land of Nephi.
6 And king Mosiah went and inquired of the Lord if he should let his sons go up among the Lamanites to preach the word.
7 And the Lord said unto Mosiah: Let them go up, for many shall believe on their words, and they shall have eternal life; and I will deliver thy sons out of the hands of the Lamanites.
8 And it came to pass that Mosiah granted that they might go and do according to their request.
9 And they took their journey into the wilderness to go up to preach the word among the Lamanites; and I shall give an account of their proceedings hereafter.
10 Now king Mosiah had no one to confer the kingdom upon, for there was not any of his sons who would accept of the kingdom.
11 Therefore he took the records which were engraven on the plates of brass, and also the plates of Nephi, and all the things which he had kept and preserved according to the commandments of God, after having translated and caused to be written the records which were on the plates of gold which had been found by the people of Limhi, which were delivered to him by the hand of Limhi;
12 And this he did because of the great anxiety of his people; for they were desirous beyond measure to know concerning those people who had been destroyed.
13 And now he translated them by the means of those two stones which were fastened into the two rims of a bow.
14 Now these things were prepared from the beginning, and were handed down from generation to generation, for the purpose of interpreting languages;
15 And they have been kept and preserved by the hand of the Lord, that he should discover to every creature who should possess the land the iniquities and abominations of his people;
16 And whosoever has these things is called seer, after the manner of old times.
17 Now after Mosiah had finished translating these records, behold, it gave an account of the people who were destroyed, from the time that they were destroyed back to the building of the great tower, at the time the Lord confounded the language of the people and they were scattered abroad upon the face of all the earth, yea, and even from that time back until the creation of Adam.
18 Now this account did cause the people of Mosiah to mourn exceedingly, yea, they were filled with sorrow; nevertheless it gave them much knowledge, in the which they did rejoice.
19 And this account shall be written hereafter; for behold, it is expedient that all people should know the things which are written in this account.
20 And now, as I said unto you, that after king Mosiah had done these things, he took the plates of brass, and all the things which he had kept, and conferred them upon Alma, who was the son of Alma; yea, all the records, and also the interpreters, and conferred them upon him, and commanded him that he should keep and preserve them, and also keep a record of the people, handing them down from one generation to another, even as they had been handed down from the time that Lehi left Jerusalem.

2. Measure your wrist size
You can easily measure your wrist size using a tape measure or a piece of string, wrap it around your wrist, and mark where the two ends meet with a marker. Then, lay the thread out flat and measure the distance from the end to your mark on the thread. Next, refer to the length size chart below and choose the size that corresponds with your wrist size.

Total Watch Repair offers many brands, sizes, and styles of watch bands. Use the images below to determine the type of strap you need. If your watch accommodates a strap with a straight end, integrated or curved end strap we most certainly have the strap for you.
Straight End - If your band fits using a straight end, you may use any straight end strap that is the same size width.
Integrated - If your band fits using an integrated strap, you must use the original strap for that watch. You can find the correct strap by entering your case number on the back of your watch into the search bar or email an image of your watch for assistance.
Curved End - If your band fits using a curved end, you may use either the original strap or a straight end strap as long as it is the same lug width size.

One out of every six adults, age 45 and above, have sight-threatening eye problems. The risk of vision loss increases with age. The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) estimates that over 43 million Americans will develop age-related eye diseases by 2020.
7 Tips for Protecting Your Precious Eyes
To protect your eyesight and stay eye-healthy as you age, follow these basic guides:
- Protection from UV rays. Always wear sunglasses with proper UV protection to shield your eyes from the sun's rays. This reduces your risk of cataracts and other eye damage.
- Eat healthily balanced meals. Many studies prove that antioxidants can reduce cataract risks. Best antioxidants are obtained from a diet rich with fruits, colorful veggies, and dark green leafy lettuces. Studies prove that eating fish, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, help prevent macular degeneration.
- Exercise more frequently. According to the AAO, studies suggest that regular exercise – such as simple walking – can reduce the risk of macular degeneration by as much as 70%.
- No smoking! The many dangers of smoking are documented. When it comes to eye health, people who smoke are at significantly greater risk of age-related macular degeneration and cataracts.
- Schedule regular exams for diabetes and high blood pressure. Left untreated, these diseases can cause eye problems. Diabetes and high blood pressure can lead to diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
- Be aware of your latent risks for eye disease. Explore your family health history. Do any family members suffer from diabetes or blood pressure problems? Are you older than 65? Are you an African-American over the age of 40? These are all traits which may increase your risk of sight-threats. Regular eye exams can detect problems which will be used to help preserve your eyesight.
- Be Alert for vision changes. As soon as you notice changes in your vision, schedule a visit with your eye doctor. Trouble signs to watch out for: double vision, hazy vision, difficulty seeing in low light conditions, and any other vision alteration. Other signs may include flashes of light, floaters, and eye pain or swelling. All signs or symptoms may indicate potential eye health problem which need immediate attention.
Have your eyes checked at least every two years including a thorough eye exam with pupil dilation to help detect eye diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration or glaucoma which may not have early warning signs or symptoms. A comprehensive eye exam will also ensure that your prescription eyeglasses or lenses are up-to-date.
Following these steps is no forever guarantee of perfect vision. However, maintaining health and a quality lifestyle along with regular eye exams will certainly manage your risk of eye problems to give you the precious eyesight you deserve.

Ever feel like this? I thought this would be a fun card to give to a friend who's having a hard time or feeling crabby. This sentiment is on the new "Pack Your Bags" Cricut cartridge, which is full of the cutest word art and images, as well as cards and stamp-like images.
I cut this "feeling crabby" at 2-1/2" using the Cricut Pack Your Bags cartridge and the question mark was from Cricut Don Juan cartridge and cut at 1-1/4". The frame on the outside is from the Twinkle Toes Cricut cartridge and cut at 3". I cuttlebugged the frame with the Divine Swirls folder for fun. Wiggle eyes add some whimsy.
And if you were feeling crabby, here's something to majorly cheer you up:
My friend, incredible scrapbooker and Saturday guest designer on Everyday Cricut, Monique Griffith has finished her Stage 3 breast cancer treatment and shows no sign of further disease!!

Chairside Economical Restorations of Esthetic Ceramic (CEREC®) has revolutionized dental procedures. Traditionally, if crowns, onlays, inlays or dental veneers were required to restore damaged teeth, multiple procedures and a great deal of waiting time in-between would be inevitable. CEREC® creates these ceramic restorations within minutes in the dental office. This means that many treatments can be completed in just a single visit.
CEREC® is comprised of several computer-assisted design (CAD) tools and a milling machine that creates custom ceramic restorative devices. CEREC® can benefit almost anyone needing a ceramic restoration. This is of great benefit to nervous patients, and it can also reduce the cost of treatment.
How can CEREC® benefit me?
CEREC® can benefit almost anyone needing a ceramic restoration. Exceptions include patients who have a prior history of breaking ceramic devices and those with a deep bite. CEREC® devices are proven to last for over 5 years, but recent research indicates that most CEREC®-created restorations last for more than 10 years.
Additional advantages associated with CEREC® include:
The CEREC® System is sometimes called a CAD-CAM system. CAD-CAM means Computer Assisted Design and Computer Assisted Milling. The CEREC® system has three major components:
Acquisition device: This device is home to a high-quality camera and a medical grade computer. The function of this unit is to photograph the prepared tooth. Three-dimensional images are created of the tooth on the screen, which the dentist uses to design the perfect ceramic restoration.
Three-dimensional CAD software: This software allows the dentist to examine the tooth from every angle. It is the closest possible thing to holding the tooth in the hands and rotating it.
Milling device: This unit actually manufactures the custom restoration from the specifications entered into the computer. A ceramic block that best resembles the existing tooth color is chosen and placed into the unit. Within minutes, the milling device produces the restoration the dentist designed.
What does a CEREC® restoration procedure involve?
The first step in the procedure is preparing the tooth for the restoration. Depending on your particular case, the dentist will take photos of your affected teeth using one of CEREC's® two imaging solutions. If using CEREC® Omnicam, the dentist will take several images of the tooth, sending a three-dimensional, colored model to the CEREC® machine. If using CEREC® Bluecam, the dentist will coat the teeth with a contrasting agent before taking images of your teeth.
These images are transposed onto the computer screen, where the dentist will view the tooth from every angle and design the final restoration. When the design is complete, it will be transmitted to the milling unit. The dentist will insert a block of ceramic, matching your tooth color, into the milling machine which will then create the full crown, onlay, inlay, or veneer. Before affixing the restoration to the tooth, the dentist will perform a dry fit to ensure comfort. Once a perfect fit is established, the restoration will be polished and affixed to the tooth with dental cement.
If you have questions about CEREC® or would like to obtain more information on this innovative technology, please contact our office.

However, along with these good feelings and vibes also comes hot and muggy weather. When this weather strikes, the AC in your home is going to be your best friend.

2016 Average Costs For AC Repair
FAQ for AC Repair in Bellefontaine
How can I tell if I need to have my AC replaced or repaired?
When your existing AC unit is malfunctioning, you get two options: either to have it repaired or replaced altogether. When it comes to choosing which one you should undertake in, there are a lot of factors you need to consider such as the condition and age of the AC unit, whether you will still be living in your current home for the years to come, as well as the repair costs. As a general rule, a cooling system that is over 10 years old must already be replaced with a newer system because it will require a lot of costly AC repair services. If it is under 10 years old, however, an AC repair service from a reliable service provider is the better choice and is the recommended route because it is likely that the unit only needs minor AC repairs.
How do I choose a company for an AC repair in Bellefontaine service?
Choosing the right AC repair in Bellefontaine specialists is as important as choosing the right AC unit. You need a specialist that will fix your unit in the shortest time possible and do it without causing damage to the other parts of your AC unit. Ask your prospective company whether they have been in business for at least five years already as this can signify their expertise and experience in repairing AC units. You should also ask for their license number to ensure that they have secured all the permits needed to perform an AC repair in Bellefontaine service.
Can I know if my AC unit is working properly?
Yes. The main job of a cooling system is to maintain the temperature of a room at the set point. If your thermometer reading is below the set point on your AC unit, you may want to acquire an AC repair in Bellefontaine. However, if your set point is 74⁰ F and it is the same reading on your thermostat, then your AC is running in perfect condition.
