Well, I did it! All pink, readers. I love it. But I have to say, I really struggled with this decision. I think that's because hair color is tied to so many other issues: self image, aging, public perception, standards of beauty, etc. I've realized from comments here and elsewhere that if you're someone who is thought of as conventionally attractive, people consider it a crime to do any sort of body modification. "But your natural hair color was so pretty!" If I had your skin, I'd never get a tattoo!" Stuff of that nature. That brings up so many questions about beauty: pink hair dye is only for people who have naturally "ugly" hair? People who we think are pretty shouldn't do anything to change their appearance? It's a weird, loaded topic.
Anyway. I did the deed Saturday night, and then I laid in bed agonizing over my decision and Googling "dyeing hair from pink back to brunette." I felt guilty for messing with a good thing.
I woke up on Sunday morning and confessed my fears to Jeff (he had been sleeping soundly next to me through all the Googling and agonizing). He said: "You shouldn't think you made a terrible decision, you should think you made a whimsical choice! You're like Mary Poppins!" Awww.
What really turned me around on the whole issue was getting up, putting on my makeup, and doing my hair in my sidecomb style (see above). Whoa, I looked hot. We went out that day to do some Christmas shopping and have lunch, and I felt awesome. I even liked how people did doubletakes at my hair.
On day two, I still loved it. Here's another instagram. It photographed more intensely in unnatural light.
As for the details: it's Special Effects Atomic Pink (bought online). I completely bleached my hair first with 40 volume bleach. That was the scariest part, watching my hair turn yellow. I like the pink, but I think next time I might mix a little Cherry Bomb dye in to skew it less magenta. (Has anyone tried this?) I will keep you all updated with the maintenance.
All in all, I'm glad I did it. I've always loved pink hair, but held back for many reasons: fear that I'm too old for this, for instance. Wanting to appear conventionally attractive is another. But isn't it better to have dyed one's hair pink and regret it, than to never do it and wish you had? (It's getting really philosophical up in here!)
Speaking of philosophy, may I finish with a My Little Pony video? Pinkie Pie is one of my beauty and life idols, and I confess that this song got me through a night of worrying too much over things like hair color. Smile, everybody!

Special insurance for your special day.
Special event insurance throughout New Jersey.
The stress and cost of organizing a special event is tough enough. The last thing you need to worry about is the financial risk you could face if something were to go wrong! Special event insurance removes this burden and allows you to focus on the event.
Organizing any event can be stressful, but the process is far easier if you know you're covered against the financial risks of something going wrong. Special event insurance can give you that peace of mind and let you concentrate on making it a success.
Generally, a special event policy covers two elements. The first is cancellation coverage, which is broader than the name might suggest. It usually covers the costs relating to postponements rather than just canceling the event outright. It can also cover the costs you face if the event goes ahead but you have to spend extra money because a supplier or venue lets you down. Do be sure to check exactly what situations are covered.
The other element is liability coverage, which protects against any claims you face for property damage or injury related to the event. This could include injuries to venue staff or guests at the event. Liability coverage is often required by venues.
One point to watch for is how the policy covers alcohol-related incidents. The rules may be different depending on whether or not guests are paying for their drinks.
To cover your special event, contact us today.

Princeton University plans to build a facility to house its high-performance computing research systems on the Forrestal Campus in Plainsboro about three miles north of the main campus.
The High-Performance Computing Research Center would be located on the University's property just north of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory. It would serve as home of TIGRESS -- the Terascale Infrastructure for Groundbreaking Research in Engineering and Science Center. It also would support a much smaller component of the University's administrative computing capacity.
The new facility would have approximately 40,000 square feet and would comprise three functional components: a computing area; an electrical and mechanical support area; and a small office/support area. The two-story building would be about 50 feet high.
If approvals and construction proceed as planned, the facility would be operational in 2011 and would be staffed by three people. It is expected to support the University's program needs through at least 2017. The facility is sited to allow for future expansion; a second phase of construction potentially could double the square footage.
"Princeton's computing research program is growing rapidly and across many disciplines, including astrophysical modeling of the universe, galaxy formation and star implosions; geophysical modeling of the propagation of seismological waves; chemical modeling of molecular dynamics; high-energy physical modeling of subatomic particle collisions and plasma and materials modeling to render fusion a practical source of clean energy; and biochemical, biostatistical and biomathematical modeling to design new drugs and to map genes and protein function," said Curt Hillegas, director of TIGRESS.
TIGRESS is intended to create a well-balanced set of high-performance computing resources to meet the broad computational requirements of the University research community.
Currently located at 87 Prospect Ave. and at the Lewis Library, TIGRESS houses six computing systems that range in speed from 700 megahertz to 3.2 gigahertz. It brings together funding, support and participation from the Princeton Institute for Computational Science and Engineering, the Office of Information Technology, the School of Engineering and Applied Science, the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, the Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials and the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, as well as a number of academic departments and faculty members.
The relocation of TIGRESS was anticipated as part of the University's 10-year Campus Plan.
"This growth accompanies the emergence of computation as a third mode of research in science and engineering, along with pure (analytic) theory and experiment/observation," Hillegas said. "The required computational infrastructure to support the increased demand has outgrown the currently available data center resources on campus. This new High-Performance Computing Research Center will enable our continued leadership at the forefront of research in these areas, engaged in finding solutions of service to society."
The site at Forrestal is intended to enhance the center's ability to partner with both the neighboring Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, a part of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that has a collaborative program in atmospheric and oceanic sciences with Princeton, and the nearby Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and managed by the University.
The University is working with the following firms on this project: San Francisco-based Gensler on architecture; AKF Group of Boston on engineering; and New York City-based CS Technology on project management.

HVAC FAQs
What is the SEER Rating?
The SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) is how the efficiency of your heating and cooling equipment is measured. The SEER is the amount of cooling your system will deliver per dollar spent on electricity, as compared to other systems. For example, a 3-ton unit may have a SEER efficiency rating of 13, 14, or 15. The higher the SEER the more efficient the system will be. The SEER rating of any given unit can range anywhere from 13 to 21.
Why is the SEER rating on the Energy Guide different than what my dealer quoted?
Each split system cooling unit has a nominal SEER rating. This rating can be increased with the upgrade of the same series indoor unit. The SEER rating of a system is based on the combination of equipment installed in the home. The outdoor equipment (heat pump or air conditioner), as well as the indoor equipment (evaporator coil and furnace, or air handler), play a vital role in the total rating.
Why should I have regular (or preventive) maintenance? And how often should I have it performed?
Your heating and cooling systems work incredibly hard to perform their functions for your home everyday. The constant stopping, starting and continual operation can wear down any machine if the proper care and maintenance is delayed. However, by performing regular maintenance, you can maximize the lifecycle of your heating or cooling unit and guard against many common equipment failures. Preventive maintenance inspections performed on a regular basis can uncover leaks, rust, rot, soot, frayed wires and corroded electrical contacts. You should have maintenance completed on your system regularly to ensure maximum efficiency and prevent possible problems that may occur in the near future.
What equipment requires regular (or preventive) maintenance?
Heat pumps and air conditioners require a professional tune-up twice a year; in the spring and fall. Inspections on boiler and furnace systems should include ductwork, pipes, dampers, valves, the chimney, registers, radiators, pumps, blowers, fuel lines, oil tank and every part of the actual furnace and boiler. Meanwhile, heat pump and air conditioning unit inspections should also include inspections of the fan, compressor, indoor coils, outdoor coils, and refrigerant lines.
I need help troubleshooting a problem with my equipment.
As your local Trane dealer, Deal's Heating & Air is your troubleshooting expert, and is glad to help you. In addition, Trane also provides a network of troubleshooting technicians at Trane Distribution centers across the country which Deal's Heating & Air will utilize to address your concern. Should we encounter a situation that requires additional factory help, we will contact our factory supported Service Manager(s) for assistance.
What are the advantages of a programmable thermostat?
Since they are electronic, programmable thermostats are more accurate and efficient than thermostats that contain mercury. With programmable thermostats you can control the temperature in your home at different times of day without ever touching your thermostat. Because everything is automatic, you will never forget to change the setting on your own.
What type of filter should I use? And how often should I replace it?
Standard filters work to keep your system and its ductwork clean, but they don't really improve indoor air quality. To do that you need a media air cleaner. The media filter rests between the main return duct and the blower cabinet and will improve dust and particle removal up to seven times that of a standard filter. However, upgrading to a pleated media filter will remove everything from dust to airborne viruses from the filtered air. Always choose a filter that matches your blower's capacity. For optimal efficiency and filtration, we recommend that you replace your disposable filters at least once a month. If you have washable filters, they should be cleaned once a month.
Why can't I find the correct size furnace filter at my local home improvement store for my Trane Brand Equipment?
Filters for your Trane unit are made from higher-quality materials than those of the disposable filters found in retail stores. For that reason, replacement Trane filters can only be purchased through a Trane dealer. However, keep in mind that some Trane filters are reusable, and can be washed by hand in cold water.
Where can I get parts for my Trane equipment?
As a Trane dealer, we are the best resource for identifying and supplying the correct, current parts for your system, as well as pricing and availability.
Which Trane equipment will best fit my home?
There are many factors that affect the sizing and specifications of your system, including square footage, insulation, window surface and configuration, geographic location of your home, duct sizing and arrangement, and many others. Deal's Heating & Air can perform an in-home load analysis to determine which equipment combinations will perfectly suit your home and your family's needs. Depending upon the construction of your home, one (1) ton of air conditioning can cool anywhere from 300 to 800 square feet of home. The only way to ensure the size of the system you purchase will be large enough to heat or cool your home, but not any larger than you need, is to have your home's individual heating and cooling needs evaluated by a licensed professional.
What does my warranty cover?
Under the standard factory warranty, Trane covers parts that fail during the warranty period due to defect in the part. The warranty does not cover labor. A warranty certificate was included with your homeowner information packet, and is specific to the model numbers, serial numbers and installation dates of your products. All Trane equipment that we install has a 1-year labor warranty and is registered with Trane Corporation to ensure your 10-year parts warranty. A 10-year extended warranty is available for purchase. If you cannot find your warranty certificate, Deal's Heating & Air will also be able to provide you with that information. With a Deal's Heating & Air Total Comfort Plan, you'll have a ten year parts and labor warranty on your Trane equipment.
What is the life expectancy of my unit?
Dependable Trane products are among the longest lasting heating and cooling products available. For your specific equipment, there are many variables that affect life expectancy, including, of course, the regularity of routine maintenance.

Polar vortex could spark plague of rats this Christmas
Weather forecasters expect a polar vortex from the Arctic to send temperatures plummeting in the next few weeks.
And pest experts fear a combination of icy conditions and overflowing dustbins could lead to a huge spike in the number of unwanted visitors during the holiday period.
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdDee Ward-Thompson, technical manager of the British Pest Control Association, believes the double attraction of food and warmth has the potential to lead to big problems.
She said: "We have had abnormally mild conditions throughout the UK this year and that is likely to have led to an increase in the number of rats.
"Any cold snaps on the way will drive them into buildings in search of shelter and they'll also go scrounging for food from bins and bird tables.
"So the Christmas and New Year period is likely to provide the perfect opportunity, particularly as it's party time with fewer bin collections."
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdA typical home may have more than a dozen potential entry points for rats, which can transmit a variety of diseases to humans.
They get through gaps as small as 2cm, often using plumbing pipes and unscreened vents or gaps in the eaves and roof edges.
Mrs Ward-Thompson added: "The first evidence of rats in a home is often noises under the floor, in the walls or loft as that's where most will head to once they're inside.
"Quite apart from the health risks, they'll foul water tanks and chew on wood or electrical wires which can cause a lot of damage and poses a fire hazard.
Hide AdAdvertisement

"Rats also breed rapidly and will create nests in attics or walls, so it's vital to act as soon as any evidence is found."
The BPCA says it's much easier to prevent an infestation than to get rid of one and says simple precautions can be taken to reduce the risk.

> Ensure doors and windows can be closed properly and that drain inspection covers are well maintained.
> Keep bins well maintained with their lids closed, dispose of rubbish carefully and don't leave leftover food lying around. Compost heaps should be covered.
> Areas around bird feeders should be kept clean and pet food bowls should not be left out overnight.

Mrs Ward-Thompson said: "Rats must be dealt with by a professional pest controller who knows the area in question and their likely habitat, and knows how to treat any particular issue.
"Most people simply want the job done right first time and, by employing a company or individual affiliated with the BPCA, they can be sure they're using an expert in the field.
"We've established strict criteria to ensure the professionalism of our members so controllers carrying our logo will carry out safe, effective and legal treatments."

Oh, Mama!
Wednesday, November 5, 2008
Settle down, now, all of you; there's enough here for everyone:
(Heh, you guys thought the FIRST censored Cake Wreck was bad...)
What's that? What do you mean, you all only want a piece of the little birthday cake? You can't ALL have that: who's going to eat the legs? The belly? The.. er...tracts of land? C'mon, you'll love it: mama's made of red velvet!*
Here's an even "better" angle:
John would like me to point out that this cake has teeth. And there are so many things wrong with that statement, I don't even know where to begin.
Here's some good news, though: this wasn't for a baby shower! Yay! Nope, it was served at a birthing center event. As to why the "mom" has a cake in the tub with her, though - and in that particular spot - well, you got me. I'm just glad they didn't make it into an edible baby.
Also, I've heard of cakes sweating before, but this brings it to a while 'nother level. A really shiny, gross level.
I actually had this submitted twice, by both Gina & Jeanette E. Hey girls, I'm dying to know: did "mama" have any hair? I can't quite tell from the photos. (I mean on her HEAD, you sick people, you.)
* Ok, you got me: I don't actually know what kind of cake this was.
UPDATE: I too thought that they just left the "s" off "surprise" at first, but then it would have been "urprise", not "uprise". Unless they spelled it wrong, and THEN left the "s" off - hah, double wreck! Or, I suppose it could be the name of the center.

The only safe piece to eat is the mini cake, although is that cardboard underneath? And was that towel a real one or made out of frosting or fondue or something?

I want desperately to say awful things about this cake because it is so deserving, but in truth... it made me bust out laughing. What a work of art! Too bad you didn't post it for Halloween since it looks like a fairly severly decayed pregnant mummy giving birth - OR - how about a Halloween/Thanksgiving combo cake: mummy giving birth in a turkey roasting pan? Classy.
Your site is hilarious and a superb start to my day. Thanks Jen.

UPRISE???? Say what?
- November 5, 2008 at 9:26 AM
It also looks enormous (see the chairs and the people in the background?). Apart from that, I think this shows a great sense of humour on the part of the birthing centre people.

Wha? Yet another cake viewing that has rendered me speechless. But that's what I come here for! Thanks!

This is....gag inducing at best. She looks sweaty and miserable and...hmm. Is that wash cloth draped over her eyes edible? *gnaw gnaw gnaw*
This reminds me less of a birthing cake and more of a torture cake. Then again the two seem to be fairly synonymous. - November 5, 2008 at 9:27 AM

But what's with "UPRISE"? Is the sex a surprise? Is the cake a surprise (I bet it was)! I've given birth in a bathtub, and I can say with 100% certainty that I wouldn't eat anything out of that sucker!

OMGWTFBBQ?! And I thought the Oliva cake was bad (okay, I still do... and in thinking about it, I think she's still worse)! Still, I do want to know what "Uprise" is. Maybe that's something I'm better off not knowing? And maybe they're really a cake birthing center?!
- November 5, 2008 at 9:28 AM
Eww? Not only teeth, it has half a skull! It looks like she was half decapitated by helicopter blades (day of the dead anyone?)

I'm a big fan of the 'water' on the cake plate, along with the broken up "Happy Birth" on top, and "Day" on the side of the cake. Someone never learned how to make small letters. And is that stuble under the left knee? Or is it just mooshed up cake? Yummmmy.

I've laughed at your blog for a while, but I'm coming out of lurking for this. This cake is the first one that I think has the potential to haunt me so much that I'll never want to eat cake again. But, I'm really coming out of the "lurk zone" because I'm hoping somebody has an explanation for the "uprise" sign on the side of the tub. What is that about?....or do I want to know?
- November 5, 2008 at 9:31 AM

Can someone explain the "uprise" sign on the front? I guess I am just slow but I dont get it. Oh and Ewwwwww.

Must be one of those birthing centers that uses the hot tubs. Still not a great cake concept. Maybe if they'd made it more cartoony...

I'm glad to know the, erm, stylistic choice was dictated by the fact that it was a birthing center. And the teeth ARE rather creepy. Also is the shiny buttercreamery frosting that both makes the poor gal look both wet and sweaty.

My main concern... what the heck does "Uprise" mean? And I love how the top of the cake says "happy birth" and the side says "day..."
- November 5, 2008 at 9:42 AM
I know I will be having nightmares for days that will be featuring this wrecktastic, teeth-including cake. YIKES!!! Oh, thanks for including the second picture so that we may fully understand the scale of the cake.
- November 5, 2008 at 9:43 AM
K, seriously?! Ew. It looks more like a pot-bellied man than a woman! The face and neck are totally masculine! Is she IN labour?!

Interesting is the only word I can come up with.... I don't think I could eat this cake.

It's obviously a cake for the Pregnant Secessionists Club, hence the "Uprise" sign.

How disturbing! Also, is it just me or does this cake look like a MAN?!? I mean, look at the size of "her" neck! And that jawline...It's like Arnold in "Junior" all over again... eew.

Now I can't get past this cakewreck-- but at least I can laugh at that! :)
I have to add...OH...MY. I don't...know...what to say. - November 5, 2008 at 10:01 AM
I'm wondering why they even bothered to put a "cloth" over the woman's face, let alone why the secondary cake is in that rather... strategic spot.
And speaking of that second cake, there are some serious spacing issues going on there: "Happy Birth" are written on top, and "Day" is on the side. Pick a surface and stick to it, for crying out loud!
As a nice final Wrecktastic touch, I also love the lack of the "S" on the "uprise" banner. Just awesome. - November 5, 2008 at 10:01 AM

uprise? at first i thought it was a tragic misspelling of SURPRISE, like for a surprise baby shower? but oh no. maybe the birthing center is called Uprise? which is a WEIRD name for a birthing center...it's a quandary.

how do you decide which piece to eat? who wants the belly button? the boob? left or right? - November 5, 2008 at 10:09 AM
- Denise said...
OK, I saw this and my first thought (also uttered out loud) was Ewwww!
- November 5, 2008 at 10:09 AM
I would also like to know the significance of it saying "UPRISE" on the tub. Seriously are we supposed to attack the poor woman giving birth to a cake...it it some kind of crazy mutation. I mean really...who thought this was a good idea?
- November 5, 2008 at 10:10 AM

Just a slight step up from using too much brown frosting, or a spelling mistake, huh?

This is beyond disgusting! So wrong on so many levels. And what is the "UPRISE" all about?
- November 5, 2008 at 10:19 AM
I am absolutely speechless. This wreck has crossed a line.
My colleague who sits next to me has just left the room after glimpsing my screen. I don't know whether he's going to be sick, or if he's going to report me for looking at these kind of horrible images on work time.
Wrong, wrong, wrong! - November 5, 2008 at 10:22 AM
Oh man, a baby cake on that little plate would have been hilarious!! What would be even better, though, would be an edible baby under the water, being born. Lots of red food coloring in the bathwater...

I do believe I've found the answer to the mystery:
About a third of the way down the page under October 17th:
"Columbia Community Birth Center's First Annual Cake and Champagne Gala.
Perlow-Stevens Gallery, [address], 7 pm.
Seven local bakeries, including The Upper Crust and Uprise Bakery, will be competing for the best "Birth-Day" cake.

So, being from Kansas and naturally pre-biased against Missouri, I am now somehow not surprised by this. - November 5, 2008 at 11:23 AM
Don't you just want to be a fly on the wall when this cake was delivered? Do you think the people in charge at the birthing center stood around and said, "Yup - that's a fine looking cake. Good idea everyone! That's just what we wanted."???
- November 5, 2008 at 11:28 AM
I searched Uprise on line, and found Uprise Bakery. Are they advertising that they created this????

That might be the worst (best?) one yet. That's just terrifying.
- November 5, 2008 at 11:29 AM
Ok, I get that some people want to embrace the great miracle of birth & all, but seriously? Naked pregnant lady cakes? Gross.
I also question who thought that after a long day of helping women give birth, the birthing center employees would want to gather round and eat an enormous cake that looks like one their clients in labor. A sweaty manly client, at that.
Finally, what is the point of that silly little cake in the tub? I don't think it was put there to censor the woman, since its set away from her body and those "special parts" are underwater anyway. Furthermore, the baker didn't feel the need to censor the rest of her... - November 5, 2008 at 11:32 AM

WOW! What part of this cake sounded like a good idea? EEEEUUUWWW!
(And I am one to eat gross cakes, but this one...no way.) - November 5, 2008 at 11:36 AM

That's just disturbing.

thats just really disturbing.

- Buggy said...
GAAAH! THE HORROR! This cake is from the town where I went to undergraduate and graduate school! And for a birthing center that I am familiar with!
And Beth, you Jayhawker! Stop dissing Missouri. I've seen equally bad stuff in Lawrence, KS. Just because Kansas has a fantastic governor doesn't mean they are better at everything.... - November 5, 2008 at 11:40 AM

how would you even choose your piece?
"Oh I'll take a bit of the knee" or "Cut me a piece the old belly" Not to mention the horror of the person served the..errr...crotch region.... - November 5, 2008 at 11:47 AM
it's possible that UPRISE is an acronym for Uterine Prolapse Research Information Support and Education.
It would make sense.
Doesn't make this wreck any less of a wreck though!
Another Jen. - November 5, 2008 at 11:50 AM
That looks more like a corpse on the autopsy room wash bay. Look at the death pallor! The rigor setting in! Ahhhhh!

This looks like something designed by Charles Manson's "Family."
So which of the "girls" designed this "miscarriage" of a cake? Squeaky? Sandy Good? Leslie van Houten? Patricia Krenwinkel? (Susan Atkins is said to be too ill to do anything ...)
Not only is this a wreck, it's positively homicidal. - November 5, 2008 at 12:09 PM

I have a request. Most people might think this strange, but if I am going to be subjected to something this bad then I want the whole experience. I understand the pictures in the blog are censored for obvious reasons, however, I would be very happy if you could include a link to the uncensored picture. Thanks.

31 flavors of wrong.

Not only horrifying, but probably also expensive, right? That's a lot of work for such a tasteless cake.
She really looks like she's in terrible pain, with the bared teeth and the compresses on the face... just what I want dessert to depict. - November 5, 2008 at 12:25 PM

See??...this is why I check the site early in the morning. First time I check during lunch, and this is what I get. I am sickened on every possible level.

This cake officially scares me.
I'm sure that after working all day at a birthing center this was exactly what the workers wanted to see. - November 5, 2008 at 12:32 PM

No, Lisa, that was my first thought as well. Along with Ewwwwwwwwwww! and WTF. And a number of other things, all of which have already been posted.

I'm slightly disturbed by the sheen, the lumpy legs, the teeth (ogod.), the 2/3s head, the murky green water (what's in there!) and the sheer dimensions of this thing!
Not to mention the two chairs pulled up to the side of it. What is that about, a carving ceremony? - November 5, 2008 at 1:11 PM

God. I keep coming back. This site is like a crack addiction to me. I get online early and envision a virtual line down the street and around the blook of Cakewrecks each morning before the first post goes up.
One final comment... Has anyone noticed how sad the suggestion of the bathtub drawing is? Kind of like, this really isn't a cake woman in three inches of sludgy cake water - noooo - it's an elegant ball and claw footed tub! See? See the drawing? Too funny. - November 5, 2008 at 1:16 PM
- Jen said...
@ anon from 12:11pm -
I actually cracked up at being called an old fart, so thanks for the chuckles. ;)
And I'm guessing you meant "censor", not "sensor". Anyway, I did it because a LOT of people look at this at work, and I try to keep the site around a PG rating. I also didn't want to be responsible for a lot of vomit-drenched keyboards out there.
Inspector Voyeur, these pics were sent as attachments, so I'm afraid I don't have a link to share. Maybe one of the girls who submitted it does, though? - November 5, 2008 at 1:22 PM

That is beyond disturbing! Sick and wrong!!!
- November 5, 2008 at 1:23 PM
It was actually made by Uprise Bakery in Columbia Missouri. It was a contest that seven bakeries entered to make a "birthday" cake for a birthing center. Ewwwwww....
- November 5, 2008 at 1:24 PM
This is the nastiest, most confusing, most insane cake you have ever posted, and that's saying a lot. Do we have any more info about it?

See why I am child-free (and happy)????Geez,if ever there was any childed thoughts in my head,I could vomit them out now.
Yeah,birth is such a beautiful gift.....*smirk*,maybe THAT is what they thought this would convey.
And yeah,I thought of the body in the tub from Silence of the Lambs myself.Perhaps Buffalo Bill had the idea for this anatomy lesson?

It will take all the nurses in the center to pull her out of the tub!Oh wait, its not real, just a cake. Relax everyone.
- November 5, 2008 at 2:23 PM
Anyone else grossed out by the fact that the little cake is iced in the same fleshy frosting as the "momma" cake? Blech. Makes that just as inedible as the rest of this wreck IMHO.
I can't decide if she'd/it'd be more or less creepy without the towel covering the eyes...
And she does look as if the top of her head is missing. Perhaps to be served with fava beans and a nice chianti? - November 5, 2008 at 2:29 PM
- momofonefornow said...
gah!!! It looks like she is bathing in a tub of blue worms! Sick.
- November 5, 2008 at 2:33 PM
I totally thought this was a twisted homage to that famous painting of Jean-Paul Marat slayed in his bathtub during the French Revolution.
At least that would explain the "Uprise" part... - November 5, 2008 at 2:37 PM

So when they cut into the cake will a cake baby be on the inside?.. ok.. too disturbing.

I didn't know that Resusie Annie was pregnant!
We practice on her at the hospital for CPR technique. - November 5, 2008 at 3:04 PM
gross, just gross. I mean seriously, these bakers need to stop hitting the bong before designing their cakes.
- November 5, 2008 at 3:06 PM
So, apparently this is for a Gala of some type. (Here is the link with a small amount of information: http://www.columbiahl.com/calendar.php)
It was a competition and UPRISE is the name of the bakery that made that cake. It is a competition to see who can make the best 'birth' day cake. Get it? Yeah, still really odd. - November 5, 2008 at 3:08 PM
- Barb said...
Well, Jen, congratulations.
You finally did it.
I could have eaten around Olivia's childbirth experience. I could have closed my eyes and dived into any one of the CCC wrecks. (I'm not proud, okay?) I pictured me attacking the Bridezilla cake with a fork and serious ferocity. I thought I could eat them all.
Well, no more.
I can honestly say that me and my size 14 butt don't want to go near a cake right now. That's a first.
This hermamphrodidic (sp?) disaster is honestly beyond words. Heck, the lunch I just ate is threatening an uprise! The slimy bathwater, the mini cake placed in the "perfect" spot, the missing cranium, the leg stubble, it's just SO wrong.
Just wow.
Oh, and by the way, I am grateful for the censoring that was done. Truly grateful. - November 5, 2008 at 3:13 PM
That is the most manly looking Mama I have ever seen. There are just so many things wrong with that! And, Why on earth would someone want to eat a cake that is between Mama's legs.
I thought I had seen it all. Wrong! - November 5, 2008 at 3:25 PM
Oh, oh, oh...
I found the uprise answer. It it the name of the bakery.
They called it the "best" birth day cake.
Here is what I found
Columbia Community Birth Center's First Annual Cake and Champagne Gala.
Perlow-Stevens Gallery, 812 East Broadway, 7 pm.
Seven local bakeries, including The Upper Crust and Uprise Bakery, will be competing for the best "Birth-Day" cake. Come eat cake, drink champagne, and enjoy music by the Bel Airs while supporting Missouri's only freestanding birth center. Tickets are $30. Purchase at participating bakeries. - November 5, 2008 at 3:29 PM

Definitely some execution problems there, but nonetheless, the concept is AWESOME. I bet the midwives and nurses laughed their butts off. These are people who need a strong stomach for the sheer grossness of the human body, and who (in my limited experience)usually have a wicked sense of humor about it. I dig it.

ok. i actually liked the cake that appeared to have baby shooting up out of the mama via c-section but this cake is vile. if i was to show up at this event, i wouldn't have given this birthing center my business just for the sheer principle that they are gross. she had teeth but no top of the head? that's right.... she has done LOST HER MIND!!!
- November 5, 2008 at 4:55 PM
Why has no one noted that this is not only a naked birthing woman with tweeh cake in a tub cake wreck...but a LIFE SIZED naked birthing woman with teeth in a tub cake?

a woman i talked to had guests and made bread @ her homebirth - slacker. a cake would have been so much more of a crowd pleaser. i mean, if you're already @ a homebirth, you might as well eat some cake. maybe the sugar takes the edge off (hence the cake in the tub)...i guess @ that point, you wouldn't care if there was a rump roast in the tub with you - you just want the baby OUT.

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
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.

Energy Conservation
By following these simple tips one can save energy to a large extent.
Turn off the lights when not in use
Take advantage of daylight by using light-colored, loose-weave curtains on yourwindows to allow daylight to penetrate the room. Also, decorate with lighter colorsthat reflect daylight
De-dust lighting fixtures to maintain illumination
Use task lighting; instead of brightly lighting an entire room, focus the lightwhere you need it
Compact fluorescent bulbs are four times more energy efficient than incandescentbulbs and provide the same lighting
Use electronic chokes in place of conventional copper chokes
Replace conventional regulators with electronic regulators for ceiling fans
Install exhaust fans at a higher elevation than ceiling fans
Electric iron
Select iron boxes with automatic temperature cutoff
Use appropriate regulator position for ironing
Do not put more water on clothes while ironing
Do not iron wet clothes
Kitchen Appliances
Avoid dry grinding in your food processors ( mixers and grinders) as it takes longertime than liquid grinding
Microwaves ovens
Consumes 50 % less energy than conventional electric / gas stoves
Do not bake large food items
Unless you're baking breads or pastries, you may not even need to preheat
Don't open the oven door too often to check food condition as each opening leadsto a temperature drop of 25°C
Electric stove
Turn off electric stoves several minutes before the specified cooking time
Use flat-bottomed pans that make full contact with the cooking coil
Use Solar Water Heater
A good replacement for a electric water heater
Electronic Devices
Do not switch on the power when TV and Audio Systems are not in use i.e. idle operationleads to an energy loss of 10 watts/device
Turn off your home office equipment when not in use. A computer that runs 24 hoursa day, for instance, uses - more power than an energy-efficient refrigerator.
If your computer must be left on, turn off the monitor; this device alone uses morethan half the system's energy.
Setting computers, monitors, and copiers to use sleep-mode when not in use helpscut energy costs by approximately 40%.
Battery chargers, such as those for laptops, cell phones and digital cameras, drawpower whenever they are plugged in and are very inefficient. Pull the plug and save.
Screen savers save computer screens, not energy. Start-ups and shutdowns do notuse any extra energy, nor are they hard on your computer components. In fact, shuttingcomputers down when you are finished using them actually reduces system wear - andsaves energy
Regularly defrost manual-defrost refrigerators and freezers; frost buildup increasesthe amount of energy needed to keep the motor running.
Leave enough space between your refrigerator and the walls so that air can easilycirculate around the refrigerator
Don't keep your refrigerator or freezer too cold.
Make sure your refrigerator door seals are airtight
Cover liquids and wrap foods stored in the refrigerator. Uncovered foods releasemoisture and make the compressor work harder.
Do not open the doors of the refrigerators frequently
Don't leave the fridge door open for longer than necessary, as cold air will escape.
Use smaller cabinets for storing frequently used items
Avoid putting hot or warm food straight into the fridge
Washing machines
Always wash only with full loads
Use optimal quantity of water
Use timer facility to save energy
Use the correct amount of detergent
Use hot water only for very dirty clothes
Always use cold water in the rinse cycle
Prefer natural drying over electric dryers
Air Conditioners
Prefer air conditioners having automatic temperature cut off
Keep regulators at "low cool" position
Operate the ceiling fan in conjunction with your window air conditioner to spreadthe cooled air more effectively throughout the room and operate the air conditionerat higher temperature
Seal the doors and windows properly
Leave enough space between your air conditioner and the walls to allow better aircirculation
A roof garden can reduce the load on Air Conditioner
Use windows with sun films/curtains
Set your thermostat as high as comfortably possible in the summer. The less differencebetween the indoor and outdoor temperatures, the lower will be energy consumption.
Don't set your thermostat at a colder setting than normal when you turn on yourair conditioner. It will not cool your home any faster and could result in excessivecooling.
Don't place lamps or TV sets near your air-conditioning thermostat. The thermostatsenses heat from these appliances, which can cause the air conditioner to run longerthan necessary.
Plant trees or shrubs to shade air-conditioning units but not to block the airflow.A unit operating in the shade uses as much as 10% less electricity than the sameone operating in the sun.

Gum Grafting
A gum graft (also known as a gingival graft or periodontal plastic surgery), is a collective name for surgical periodontal procedures that aim to cover an exposed tooth root surface with grafted oral tissue.
Exposed tooth roots are usually the result of gingival recession due to periodontal disease. There are other common causes, including overly aggressive brushing and trauma.
Here are some of the most common types of gum grafting:
Reasons for gum grafting
Gum grafting is a common periodontal procedure. Though the name might sound frightening, the procedure is commonly performed with excellent results.
Here are some of the major benefits associated with gum grafting:
What does gum grafting treatment involve?
Once the need for gum grafting surgery has been determined, there are several treatments the dentist will want perform before gum grafting takes place. First, the teeth must be thoroughly cleaned supra and subgingivally to remove calculus (tartar) and bacteria. The dentist can also provide literature, advice and educational tools to increase the effectiveness of homecare and help reduce the susceptibility of periodontal disease in the future.
The gum grafting procedure is usually performed under local anesthetic. The exact procedure will depend much on whether tissue is coming from the patient's palate or a tissue bank.
Initially, small incisions will be made at the recipient site to create a small pocket to accommodate the graft. Then a split thickness incision is made and the connective tissue graft is inserted into the space between the two sections of tissue. The graft is usually slightly larger than the recession area, so some excess will be apparent.
Sutures are often placed to further stabilize the graft and to prevent any shifting from the designated site. Surgical material is used to protect the surgical area during the first week of healing. Uniformity and healing of the gums will be achieved in approximately six weeks.
If you have any questions about gum grafting, please ask your dentist.

Are you looking for sciatica physical therapy in Bergen County, NJ? Bella Physical Therapy has been helping patients recover from sciatica pain since 2006. We provide one-on-one at least one-hour sessions for each and every patient throughout the entire course of your sciatica physical therapy.
It is important to know that according to New Jersey's Direct Access Act you don't need a doctor's prescription to start physical therapy in the state of New Jersey. It means that YOU DON'T NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR BEFORE COMING TO US. Our highly trained, experienced and caring physical therapists are fully equipped to analyze your pain and create a thorough treatment protocol that that will address the very source of your pain to make your recovery a full success. You will see a positive change in your condition after just a few treatment sessions.* If at any point in the course of your sciatica physical therapy the need for a diagnostic testing or a medical consultation arises, we will be first to advise you on different options
The source of your Sciatica can be a strain, a herniated disc, complication from pregnancy, spinal stenosis or a combination thereof. If untreated, it can lead to a decreased sensation and weakness in the leg(s), loss of bladder or bowel control and other serious issues. Nerve damage could become irreversible and even surgery may not bring a full recovery.
Many of us try to get rid of the pain by taking pain killers and steroid injections. There are a few problems with that approach, though: medications have side effects, plus they are only masking the pain without addressing the root of your problem. In addition, steroids may weaken the muscle tendons and ligaments which then become more susceptible to a future trauma. Sciatica physical therapy is a great drug-free treatment approach that could be the real and lasting answer to your condition.
Your sciatica physical therapy will include a variety of manual hands-on techniques, taping methods and other innovative treatment approaches combined with a comprehensive exercise program custom-tailored to your needs. Exercises may include dynamic stabilization and core strengthening, postural reeducation, proper body mechanic training and more. Specific functional training will be a vital part of your treatment to accelerate return to your daily household and job routine, and favorite leisure and sports activities. Adding our state-of-the-art equipment to your treatment protocol will bring yet more variety and fun to your sciatica physical therapy course.
If you suffer from sciatica pain longer than two weeks, don't wait… take action.
