USA Today November 19, 2012
Israel-Hamas fight more risky in a changed Mideast
By Oren Dorell and Sarah Lynch
11:15AM EST November 19. 2012 - CAIRO — When Israel launched retaliatory air and ground attacks against Palestinians in 2008, Egypt's president at the time showed no sympathy for the Palestinian cause. He closed the border with the Gaza Strip and harassed aid workers and activists who backed Hamas, the Islamist movement that controls Gaza.
When the fighting broke out again over the past week, it happened in a very different Middle East, one reshaped by popular uprisings that brought down secular dictators in three countries, including Egypt, whose new Islamist president condemned Israel as "the aggressor."
"I say to the aggressor to take a lesson from history and stop this farce and bloodshed or else you will face the wrath of the people and their leadership," Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi said. "Egypt today is different than Egypt yesterday and that the Arabs today are different than the Arabs of yesterday."
Indeed, Israel and Hamas are fighting in a whole new Middle East, making this conflict much more dangerous for both Israel and the Palestinians, analysts say. This is the killing season many feared might follow the Arab Spring, a testing of loyalties and revival of violence that seems hard-wired in the region.
Israel and Hamas have been preparing militarily, and this escalation is all the more worrisome because each has more potent weapons and refined tactics. But the politics of the Middle East also have shifted dramatically, giving more power and influence to Islamists who are aligned with Hamas. This, in turn, leaves Israel more isolated.
"Before, Israel could count on Egypt to turn its back, keep the border with Gaza sealed and not intervene," said Benedetta Berti, a research fellow at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv. "We can't count on that in case of a ground operation," and a more direct attempt to support the Palestinians cannot be discounted.
"Egypt is different, the region is different," Berti said. "If you look at countries like Tunisia, Turkey, the position they've taken is definitely more vocal than a few years ago."
Political analyst Mazen Hassan, in Cairo, says Israel is in uncharted territory. "This is the first time it is really engaged in military confrontation at a time when political Islam rules the largest and most populated Arab country (Egypt), and at least two others. The rules of the game are being rewritten at the moment."
Under ousted president Hosni Mubarak, Egypt joined Israel in blockading the Gaza Strip in 2007, when Hamas took control of the territory from Fatah, the political wing of the Palestine Liberation Organization. The Egyptian border with Gaza remained closed during the Israeli air campaign and ground offensive that began in December 2008 and ended three weeks later.
On Sunday, Morsi allowed hundreds of activists and aid workers to cross from Egypt into the Gaza Strip with medical and other humanitarian supplies, as Israeli warplanes killed Hamas leaders in their homes and struck Hamas installations.
At least two missiles Sunday hit the roofs of the media center in Gaza City, which houses Hamas-run state TV as well as British, German, French and Lebanese news outlets. The strikes shook the high-rise buildings. Smoke ballooned from the building as media workers poured outside, while emergency workers raced to the scene. At least six Palestinian journalists were injured, including one who lost a leg.
A more dangerous conflict
The Israelis have been preparing for this fight because they knew Hamas has been importing huge quantities of weapons of much higher quality, says Matthew Levitt, a senior fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Iranian-made rockets have increased Hamas' reach from 27 miles in 2008 to 46 miles now, according to military intelligence firm Globalsecurity.org.
Hamas missiles flew over Tel Aviv on Sunday and over Jerusalem on Saturday, threatening Israel's major population centers for the first time. In addition to Hamas' more advanced Iranian weaponry, it has improved relations with Sunni Arab countries.
Turkey, which in 2008 had strong ties to Israel, has a new Islamist ruling party that sharply criticized Israel for its Gaza policy. Turkey-Israel relations soured over Israel's 2010 raid on the blockade running ship, the Mavi Marmara, which sailed from Turkey and tried to deliver supplies to Gaza.
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan called the Israeli strikes "a pre-election stunt" and said he would confer with Egypt's Morsi, according to the Israeli news outlet Ynet. Israel is scheduled to hold elections this January.
"The dominant world powers are now making the Gaza people and fighters pay, and as the Republic of Turkey we are with our brothers in Gaza and their just cause," Erdogan told reporters.
The emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, in October became the first head of state to visit Gaza under Hamas rule. He pledged millions of dollars in aid, including 1,000 new homes in the Khan Younis district, which was devastated in the 2008 fighting. On Sunday, Hamad urged the international community to end its Gaza boycott.
Meanwhile, popular uprisings appear to be giving greater influence to political Islamist movements across the region. A civil war threatens the regime in Syria. Street fighting broke out last week in Jordan, the only Arab nation other than Egypt that has signed a peace treaty with Israel. And in Lebanon, Iranian-backed Hezbollah controls parliament.
Hamas' new Sunni friends and patrons have close ties to the United States, however, and would want to restrain Hamas from attacking Israel, says Tony Badran, an analyst with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
Hamas anticipated more support from Egypt's new Brotherhood president, but instead finds its legitimacy challenged by other violent Islamists, Badran says. For Hamas, launching an operation against Israel now is "dictating the terms of the relationship — that we (Hamas) are a 'resistance' movement."
"The way to place yourself in the vanguard, to force the (Palestinian) issue on everybody is to do what every Arab regime in modern history has done, which is to start a war with Israel to establish yourself in the region," Badran says.
Iran — far more isolated today — does not have the same level of influence over Hamas that it had in 2008, said Meir Javedanfar, an Iran-Israel expert and lecturer at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya.
"If (Hamas) were still tightly aligned with Iran it would have been easier to isolate Hamas in the international community," Javedanfar said, "but because Hamas is now leaning more toward Turkey and Egypt ... it's more difficult to isolate Hamas regionally."
U.S.-Israeli relations
Today's conflict finds Israel's closest ally, the United States, at a different juncture as well.
In 2008, the fighting erupted while George W. Bush was president, and ended before president-elect Barack Obama was inaugurated. Today, while Obama and the U.S. Congress have expressed support for Israel's right to defend itself, Obama's backing for Israel is not unconditional, something he came under fire for in the presidential election.
Obama has criticized Israeli settlement activity in East Jerusalem and has had a frosty relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has taken a more aggressive posture toward Iran and its allies, including Hamas.
Israel has new weapons and an extensive and more precise target list since 2008. That war, which Israel called Operation Cast Lead, inflicted heavy damage on Hamas but also devastated civilian infrastructure and killed hundreds of civilians.
This time, Israel says its target list is more specific, based on intelligence gathered through a network of informers and aerial surveillance and a deeper infiltration of Hamas' ranks.
Israelis in the towns and villages that have been getting struck by hundreds of rockets fired from Palestinians in Gaza said Sunday they are wary of cease-fire talks if they don't end the terror.
Lior Amar, 24, who works at a Beer Sheva sunglasses store, has had to run for cover multiple times a day this past week as megaphones blast warnings of incoming missiles. "Seven, 10, even 12 sirens a day," she said. "We can't leave our homes."
Amar said the Palestinians "use every cease-fire to get themselves re-armed."
At the al-Maghazi refugee camp in Gaza, a convoy of four ambulances pulled in with the bodies of nine men, all Hamas members killed in Israeli airstrikes. The body of Osama Abd Al Jawad, 26, a Hamas fighter, was draped with the green flag and taken to the local mosque.
"As long as the Israelis keep on occupying our land we must keep on targeting their lands, even harder," said Osama's brother, Amjad.
Israel will almost certainly win militarily, but Hamas is likely to emerge stronger politically, says Marina Ottaway, director of the Middle East program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington.
The result for Israel will be "a frozen peace treaty" with Egypt, which will provide less cooperation on security in the Sinai, and more isolation than ever, Ottaway says. While Gaza "will pay a horrendous price in life and destruction," its leaders "will gain politically."

Starting High School
Article Translations: (Spanish)
So what's high school really like? Is there more work? More stress? Will it be difficult going from being one of the oldest middle school students to one of the youngest high schoolers?
If you're having thoughts like these, you're not alone: Lots of other freshmen are feeling the same way you are — you're all starting out in a new place. With that in mind, here are a few topics that commonly worry incoming freshmen and some things you might want to know about them.
Starting Out at a New School
You may not know a lot of people when you start high school. Maybe your friends from middle school are going to a different high school. Even if you know other freshmen, you might feel nervous that you don't know any upperclassmen. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces?
Most high schools hold a freshman orientation before school actually starts. These are helpful not only because you learn your way around the building and get to meet some of your teachers, but you also get to meet fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognize a few familiar faces. If you think it might help, tour your school another time before or after orientation to make sure you have a good sense for where your classes, locker, etc., are.
When you talk to people at orientation, you'll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. They're all new to the school and don't know what to expect. Talking about a common concern with your classmates can spark new friendships.
Learning Inside the Classroom
How about the workload in high school — is it a lot harder? Again, this is something your classmates are probably worried about, too.
The work in high school builds on what you learned in middle school, giving you a more advanced knowledge of many academic subjects. So you may find you have more work to do or that it's a bit more challenging. But these challenges can make you feel less bored with the usual routine — it feels great when you've mastered something really tough. Maybe you'll find a new appreciation for biology or discover a passion for literature.
If you ever find your work too overwhelming, teachers and tutors are available for extra help. While you have more independence as a high school student than you might have had in middle school, there are still many resources to fall back on if you feel the work is too much or if there's something you don't understand.
Extracurricular Activities
High school also has more extracurriculars than middle school did, such as clubs, music and theater groups, student government, and sports teams. This is a fantastic time to explore your interests and try new things. Who said school has to be all work and no play?
These activities may take place before or after school, or during free periods or study halls. Because of this, it helps to sharpen your time management skills in your first year. Extracurricular activities are great, but remember to leave free time for yourself. Everybody needs some downtime.
Learning Outside the Classroom
High school is a time of increasing independence and responsibility. As in middle school, you or your friends may have some tough times. But if you ever find that personal issues get really overwhelming, find someone to talk to. Just because you're becoming more independent does not mean you're alone.
Friends and parents can be great resources, but sometimes that's not enough. School counselors or therapists can be very helpful if you want to talk with someone outside of your friends and family. So many people are available to help you.
Middle school taught you the basics of academics, time management, and social skills while providing you with a little extra support and guidance — kind of like a bicycle with training wheels. High school gives you the chance to take off those training wheels and learn how to be more independent.
It's perfectly OK if you're nervous at first. Even if you don't get off to the best start, that's normal, too — everybody's a bit wobbly the first time they take off their training wheels. Just be patient and keep trying. Once you've adjusted to your new independence, you may find you can go farther than you ever imagined.

Note: This post suffers from a case of style drift. That is, it's only tangentially related to foreign policy.
At AlterNet, Chris Hedges recently made a strong case for individuals taking responsibility for how their actions (or lack thereof) affect society at large.
The greatest crimes of human history are made possible by the most colorless human beings. They are the careerists. The bureaucrats. The cynics. They do the little chores that make vast, complicated systems of exploitation and death a reality. … Good. Evil. These words do not mean anything to them. They are beyond morality. They are there to make corporate systems function. If insurance companies abandon tens of millions of sick to suffer and die, so be it. If banks and sheriff departments toss families out of their homes, so be it.
I used to characterize apathy and lack of conscience as the enduring enigma of the American public. In fact, though, as I wrote in a post titled for Scholars & Rogues in 2010, apathy may be socially redeeming.
Apathy, of course, aids and abets corrupt leaders. But it wasn't until the publication of a book in 1996 that I realized apathy might be socially redeeming. Titled Who Are You, Really? (Carroll & Graf), it was written by Gary Null, the noted (and controversial) nutritionist who is also that rarity in this day and age — a Renaissance man.
You may have heard of a personality assessment questionnaire used by prospective employers, among others, called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. If it was an acknowledged product of Carl Jung's book Personality Types, Myers-Briggs, in turn, seems to have been the inspiration for the categories into which Null divides us humans. You can find the heading under which most of us fall in his chapter "Most of the People You'll Ever Meet: Adaptive Supportive."
What, you ask, is an Adaptive Supportive? Null explains:
Adaptive Supportives generally do functional work. They may be clerical-level employees or blue-collar workers in government agencies or factories. They may work at the checkout counters in retail establishments or at construction sites. … sticking with a job year after year sometimes constitute an unrecognized act of heroism on the part of members of this group.
In fact. . .
Adaptive Supportives play an absolutely essential role in our culture, as in any. Without them, the inner workings of society would simply cease to function. … Because there are so many of them, their values and way of life pervade our culture.
Summing up. . .
Adaptive Supportives are the followers in life — the vast majority of the people who adapt their lives to prevailing belief systems. … Their whole lifestyle is supportive of the status quo and they thrive on the sense of belonging that comes from "fitting in."
In other words, it's time to stop libeling them as apathetic. It's just how they're wired: Their passivity is in the service of fulfilling their role as the bedrock of society. But, as with all personality types, you take the good with the bad. Of course, the liberal left is more familiar with how harmful they can be to society, as well as themselves. Gary Null again:
The real danger with Adaptive Supportives is that they will cling to faulty belief systems. They have a strong sense of trust in one authority, and they feel vulnerable and threatened if an idea or person challenges that authority. … They relinquish control over their own lives, giving more power to authority figures than they do themselves. That gives them a myopic view of life and closes off many avenues of growth and transformation.
Can They Transcend Their Limitations?
Here's Null's answer:
When Adaptive Supportives do change, it's usually because an authority figure has given them "permission" to do so. When the authority in their lives changes, they'll shift course and go along with whatever the leader expects of them. If the pope were to allow women to become priests, the masses would adapt to the change and support it. … The irony is that Adaptive Supportives could be a tremendous force in society, simply by virtue of their numbers.
Resolving to act against injustice tends to result from personal growth, about which Null writes:
. . . Adaptive Supportives must recognize that there is nothing intrinsic about them that prevents personal growth. … But they have to take charge of their own development. They can't wait for some big boss figure to give them permission to change, to say it's okay. The few Adaptive Supportives who do break through the "big-boss barrier" become very excited about their own untapped potential. … The catch is that they may need someone to work with them — generally a more dynamic personality — to keep them motivated and to supply structure and direction.
Just because Adaptive Supportives embody the turning-ship cliché doesn't mean we should be discouraged. In fact, Null's analysis should encourage us to cease lecturing them and throwing up our hands in exasperation. Instead, engaging them individually, we can draw out their needs and fears, and address them without the harshness — toward themselves as well as others — to which Adaptive Supportives are accustomed.
Still, it can't be denied that engaging them on subjects such as politics, culture, and the future of the planet can be a thankless task. The most hidebound are best left to stew in their own juices. But, in the long run, most Adaptive Supportives would probably be glad to be weaned off those who prey upon their insecurities.

Home » Guitar » BOLE, ANDY: Ramshackle Pier
BOLE, ANDY: Ramshackle Pier
Andy Bole, known to our very old adherents through the remarkable Bole Drawings, was and is a very fine guitarist in (loosely) the British style (Jansch, Graham, Renbourne), with oriental shadings. This is a fine collection of his own (mostly) acoustic pieces, joined on 3 tracks by Bill Gilonis (electric guitar, bass, piano, percussion) and on one by Catherine Jauniaux (voice), the guitars are both single and multitracked. The title track launches into arranged complexity, dissonance and epic structure. And the tracks past this central point agrowmore sonically strange and atmospheric. On its release (1984) the LP was voted album of the year by the specialist acoustic magazine Folk Roots, and Andy went on to make many more, and to play internationally with the named and famous). A solidly musical, diverse, imaginative and excellently recorded piece of work. Highly recommended.

Every product has a unique size chart which can be found in the description of each product. Make sure to measure your pet based on the size chart available for each product. By referring to the size chart shown, it will help ensure the perfect fit.
Below is a guide to help you measure your dog. If you require assistance, please CONTACT US. We are happy to help!
- To determine the proper size for your dog, measure your dog's neck, chest, and back with a soft tape measure following the instructions below.
- If you don't have a soft tape measure handy, but you do have a printer, CLICK HERE! When all else fails, use a string or ribbon to wrap around the dog and then lay flat next to a rigid tape measure or ruler.
- When measuring your dog, the pet must be standing in a normal position. Laying down or sitting will result in inaccurate measurements.
1. Neck circumference is measured at the base of the neck where the collar sits. Pull the tape snug but not tight.
2. Back length is measured from the base of your pet's neck where the collar sits to the base of the tail.
3. Chest girth is measured at the widest part of the pet's chest just behind the front legs. Measure around the entire chest.
*For clothing, accurate chest measurements are critical, especially in breeds who have a much deeper chest. Please go one size larger for dogs with very thick fur or if the chest measurements fall between sizes.
4. Paws are measured by standing your pet on a sheet of paper and tracing all four paws including fur and nails. Measure the width and length of the largest paw print to determine your dog's shoe size. Alternatively, some shoes will have a printable size chart.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Esther Williams, the swimming champion turned actress who starred in glittering and aquatic Technicolor musicals of the 1940s and 1950s, has died. She was 91.
Williams died early Thursday in her sleep, according to her longtime publicist Harlan Boll.
Following in the footsteps of Sonja Henie, who went from skating champion to movie star, Williams became one of Hollywood's biggest moneymakers, appearing in spectacular swimsuit numbers that capitalized on her wholesome beauty and perfect figure.
Such films as "Easy to Wed," "Neptune's Daughter" and "Dangerous When Wet" followed the same formula: romance, music, a bit of comedy and a flimsy plot that provided excuses to get Esther into the water.
The extravaganzas dazzled a second generation via television and the compilation films "That's Entertainment." Williams' co-stars included the pick of the MGM contract list, including Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Red Skelton, Ricardo Montalban and Howard Keel.
When hard times signaled the end of big studios and costly musicals in the mid-'50s, Williams tried non-swimming roles with little success. After her 1962 marriage to Fernando Lamas, her co-star in "Dangerous When Wet," she retired from public life.
She explained in a 1984 interview: "A really terrific guy comes along and says, 'I wish you'd stay home and be my wife,' and that's the most logical thing in the world for a Latin. And I loved being a Latin wife - you get treated very well. There's a lot of attention in return for that sacrifice."
She came to films after winning 100-meter freestyle and other races at the 1939 national championships and appearing at the San Francisco World's Fair's swimming exhibition.
As with Judy Garland, Donna Reed and other stars, Williams was introduced in one of Mickey Rooney's Andy Hardy films, "Andy Hardy's Double Life" (1942).
She also played a small role in "A Guy Named Joe" before "Bathing Beauty" in 1944 began the string of immensely popular musical spectaculars.
Among them: "Thrill of a Romance," "Fiesta," "This Time for Keeps," "On an Island with You," "Take Me out to the Ballgame," "Duchess of Idaho," "Pagan Love Song," "Texas Carnival," "Skirts Ahoy," "Million Dollar Mermaid" (as Annette Kellerman, an earlier swimming champion turned entertainer), "Dangerous When Wet," "Easy to Love" and "Jupiter's Darling."
Williams in a bathing suit became a favorite pinup of GI's in World War II, and her popularity continued afterward. She was a refreshing presence among MGM's stellar gallery - warm, breezy, with a frankness and self-deprecating humor that delighted interviewers.
She laughed as much as anyone over an assessment by Fanny Brice, the original "Funny Girl": "Esther Williams? Wet, she's a star. Dry, she ain't."
After leaving MGM, she starred in two Universal dramatic films, "The Unguarded Moment" and "Raw Wind in Eden." Neither was successful. In 1961 Lamas directed her last film, "The Magic Fountain," in Spain. It was never released in America.
When she published her autobiography in 1999, she titled it "The Million Dollar Mermaid."
Esther Jane Williams grew up destined for a career in athletics. She was born Aug. 8, 1921, in Inglewood, a suburb southwest of Los Angeles, one of five children.
(Some references give a birth year of 1922 or 1923, but she told The Associated Press in 2004 that the correct date was 1921. "I think we ought to just count our blessings," she said at the time. "You get old. It happens, but oh, what life we had when we were young.")
A public pool was not far from the modest home where Williams was raised, and it was there that an older sister taught her to swim. They saved the 10-cent admission price by counting 100 towels.
When she was in her teens, the Los Angeles Athletic Club offered to train her four hours a day, aiming for the 1940 Olympic Games at Helsinki. In 1939, she won the Women's Outdoor Nationals title in the 100-meter freestyle, set a record in the 100-meter breaststroke and was a part of several winning relay teams. But the outbreak of war in Europe that year canceled the 1940 Olympics, and Esther dropped out of competition to earn a living.
She was selling clothes in a Wilshire Boulevard department store when showman Billy Rose tapped her for a bathing beauty job at the World's Fair in San Francisco.
While there, she was spotted by an MGM producer and an agent. She laughed at the suggestion she do films that would popularize swimming, as Henie had done with ice skating.
"Frankly I didn't get it," she recalled. "If they had asked me to do some swimming scenes for a star, that would have made sense to me. But to ask me to act was sheer insanity."
She finally agreed to visit MGM boss Louis B. Mayer, and recalled that she took the job after her mother told her: "No one can avoid a challenge in life without breeding regret, and regret is the arsenic of life."
Lamas was Williams' third husband. Before her fame she was married briefly to a medical student. In 1945 she wed Ben Gage, a radio announcer, and they had three children, Benjamin, Kimball and Susan. They divorced in 1958.
After Lamas' death in 1982, Williams regained the spotlight. Having popularized synchronized swimming with her movies, she was co-host of the event on television at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. She issued a video teaching children how to swim and sponsored her own line of swimsuits.
"I've been a lucky lady," she said in a 1984 interview with The Associated Press. "I've had three exciting careers. Before films I had the experience of competitive swimming, with the incredible fun of winning. ... I had a movie career with all the glamor that goes with it. That was ego-fulfilling, but it was like the meringue on the pie. My marriage with Fernando - that was the filling, that was the apple in the pie."

This memorial stone (so called Stolperstein or stumbling block) commemorates Lina Alexander who is murdered in Auschwitz.
The small copper plaques, in the pavement in front of houses of which the (mostly Jewish) residents were murdered by the Nazis, mention the name, date of birth and place (mostly a concentration camp) and date of death.
In many other German cities the memorials also can be found. There are already many thousands of these plaques and their number is still counting. Almost all Stolpersteine are laid by the German artist himself, Gunter Demnig.

Newtown shooter killed victims within 5 minutes
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A cache of weapons including guns, more than a thousand rounds of ammunition, a bayonet and several swords was found in the home of the gunman who carried out the Newtown school shooting, according to search warrants released Thursday.
Adam Lanza killed 26 people inside Sandy Hook Elementary School and took his own life within five minutes of shooting his way into the building, State's Attorney Stephen J. Sedensky III said in a statement accompanying the release of the warrants in the Dec. 14 massacre. Lanza was found dead in the school wearing military-style clothing.
The arsenal seized from Lanza's home and the car he drove to carry out the massacre provided glimpses into the world of a troubled young man, but it does not answer the question of what could have motivated the attack. Investigators say it will take until June or later to complete the investigation.
Sedensky said Lanza killed all 26 victims inside Sandy Hook Elementary School with a Bushmaster .223-caliber rifle before taking his own life with a Glock 10 mm handgun. He said Lanza had another loaded handgun with him inside the school as well as three, 30-round magazines for the Bushmaster.
Sedensky said 154 spent .223 casings were recovered at the scene. A loaded 12-gauge Saiga shotgun was found in the Honda Civic Lanza drove to the school and the warrants said there were two magazines containing a total of 70 shotgun rounds. The warrant does not offer further explanation, and authorities did not respond to questions, but some Saiga shotguns can be fitted with magazines that hold up to 30 rounds.
Mark Barden, whose 7-year-old son, Daniel, was killed at Sandy Hook, said he was not surprised by the details released Thursday.
"Most of this is pretty high-level stuff that we were aware of already and it just reminds me of what happened, that a gunman stormed his way into an elementary school and shot to death 26 people, 20 of which were first-grade boys and girls," Barden said.
At the Lanza house, investigators found books about autism and Asperger's syndrome as well as a National Rifle Association guide to pistol shooting, the warrants said. The NRA said Lanza and his mother were not members. Another book found at the home with tabbed pages is titled: "Train Your Brain to Get Happy."
Writings and journals that belonged to Lanza were seized by police and turned over to the FBI for analysis. They also found three photos containing images of what appears to be a dead person covered with plastic and blood.
Police said they found a smashed computer hard drive and a gaming console in the house. An unnamed person told investigators that Lanza was an avid gamer who played "Call of Duty" and other games and rarely left his home.
Investigators found a holiday card containing a check made out to Lanza for the purchase of a firearm, authored by his mother, Nancy Lanza. Adam Lanza shot and killed his mother in their Newtown home before driving to the school to carry out the massacre.
Documents indicate authorities found a gun safe with shotgun shells in the house and numerous boxes of bullets. In a bedroom closet, they found ear plugs, a handwritten note regarding ammunition and magazines, paperwork on guns and a metal bayonet.
In a top drawer of a filing cabinet, they found paper targets. In a duffel bag, they found ear and eye protection, binoculars, numerous paper targets and an NRA certificate that belonged to Adam Lanza.
Authorities found numerous knives, including samurai swords. They found a military-style uniform in Lanza's bedroom and handwritten notes containing the addresses of local gun shops. The guns found at the home included a .323-caliber Enfield Albian bolt-action rifle, a .22-caliber Savage Mark II rifle, a BB gun and a .22-caliber Volcanic starter pistol.
Among the items seized was a news article on a 2008 school shooting at Northern Illinois University.
A judge's order to seal the warrants expired on Wednesday, and a Danbury Superior Court judge granted a request by Sedensky to withhold some details. Sedensky asked to redact the name of a witness, saying the person's safety might be jeopardized if the name were disclosed. He also asked that the release not include other information such as telephone numbers, serial numbers on items found and a few paragraphs of an affidavit.
Until now, prosecutors had made few details of the Newtown investigation available, despite pressure to do so from the governor, who criticized leaks to the press and lawmakers who clamored for more details as they craft legislation on mental health and gun control.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced last week that additional information would be released at his request. He expressed concern that some information about the shooting rampage at Sandy Hook reportedly disclosed by a top state police commander at a recent law enforcement seminar in New Orleans was leaked.
In his statement, Sedensky said he ordered a stop to any presentations involving evidence in the case to prevent such disclosures. He said the investigation is ongoing.
"No conclusions have been reached and no final determinations have been made," Sedensky said.
Senate President Donald E. Williams Jr. said this week that legislative leaders are eager to review the search warrant documents before finishing work on a bipartisan bill that addresses gun control and other issues related to the massacre.

How to Choose the Best Cat Food
Best Cat Food: The Search
By Lorie Huston, DVM
As cat owners, we all want to keep our pets as healthy as we can for as long as possible. Most of us realize that feeding a high quality diet is one of the best ways to do that. However, finding the best food for your cat can be confusing. The choices seem endless and there is no shortage of controversy and disagreement when it comes to debating how best to feed cats.
Learning what to look out for can help you choose the best food for your cat.
What's in the Best Cat Food?
The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) has established some guidelines for regulator to govern what must be included in a pet food label and what a pet food company can legitimately claim and what they cannot.
Start by looking at the name of the pet food. AAFCO requires that if the food is advertised to contain a single ingredient, it must contain at least 95% of that ingredient, not including added water. Likewise, if a combination of ingredients is advertised, that combination must comprise at least 95% of the food. For instance, if the food claims to be made solely of beef, beef must make up 95% of the food. If the claim is turkey and beef, then the food must be 95% turkey and beef combined.
Foods with descriptive phrases (such as dinner, platter, entrée, etc.) in their names must contain at least 25% of the named ingredient. Products that carry a name that states "with" a specific ingredient (such as "with cheese") need only contain 3% of the named ingredient. Products that advertise specific "flavors" (such as "chicken flavor" or "beef flavor") need to contain only a detectable amount of that ingredient.
Check the Animal Protein
Next, look at the list of ingredients. Keep in mind that ingredients are listed by weight. Ingredients that contain large amounts of moisture (such as beef, poultry, chicken, or fish) are likely to be at the top of the list because of the moisture content. Ingredients further down the list may offer even more key nutrients such as protein but may weigh less because the water has already been removed for a dry pet food.
All cat foods should have some source of animal protein and fat. Cats are obligate carnivores and require nutrients such as taurine and arachidonic acid to be supplied in their diet. These nutrients are only present in animal sources. They are not found in plant-based sources. The animal source may be in the form of beef, poultry, chicken, turkey, fish or other meats. Or it may be in the form of by-products or by-product meals.
Consider Grains
Some of the controversies that surround pet foods include the use of grains and glutens. Grains are used in many pet foods and provide an excellent source of carbohydrates. Cats can easily metabolize these carbohydrates and use them as an energy source. However, some people prefer to avoid grains in their cat's food. In fact, some cat experts believe that a diet that is high in protein and low in carbohydrates is healthier for cats, though this is a controversial subject and not all agree.
It is important for cat owners to remember that grain-free diets are not necessarily low carbohydrate diets. In many cases, the grains have simply been replaced with another carbohydrate source such as potatoes. If you are seeking to feed a low carbohydrate food, you'll want to make sure this is not the case.
Give By-products a Break
By-products have been maligned by many different sources. In actuality, by-products include highly digestible and nutritious organs, such as the liver and lungs and pet food ingredients labeled as by-products do NOT include things like hair, horns or hooves, as advertising gimmicks would have you believe. It is a misconception that by-products are "unfit" for human consumption, though it is true that they are less popular ingredients for human food in the U.S. Most of the meat that we eat is derived from skeletal muscle rather than organ meats and other by-products.
That being said, by-products are not all created equally. Some by-products are highly nutritious; some are next to worthless. Reputable cat food companies choose quality by-products to include in their foods. Choosing a pet food company you can trust is an important consideration when it comes to pet foods that contain by-products.
Try Canned or Dry
Canned food versus dry is another controversial topic when it comes to feeding cats. Some cat experts believe that canned food is healthier than dry food. Others argue that cats do well on both types of food and a pet owner should be able to choose what is most convenient.
Canned foods do offer the advantage of having a higher moisture content, which can be important for cats who aren't attracted to drink water readily. However, water fountains, dripping faucets and other devices that encourage cats to drink can often overcome this advantage.
Take Lifestage into Account
You'll also want to check the pet food label for a nutritional adequacy statement. This statement will read something like "This food is complete and balanced for all life stages," "This food is complete and balanced for adult maintenance," or "This food is complete and balanced for growth and reproduction."
Choosing a food that is balanced to fit the life stage of your cat is important. Kittens have different nutrient needs than adult cats. So choose your cat's food accordingly.
Analyze Nutrients
A guaranteed analysis is included on the packaging of most pet foods also and will usually list the minimum amount of protein and fat by percentage and the maximum amount of fiber and moisture, also by percentage. When comparing the guaranteed analysis of two different pet foods, a more accurate analysis is possible when the analysis is converted to a dry matter basis. Otherwise, the moisture content can significantly skew the comparison. Comparing the guaranteed analysis of a dry food to a canned food without taking account the moisture content is a bit like comparing apples to oranges.
It is important to remember that, although the guaranteed analysis provides a measure of the various nutrient categories, it does not provide any information relating to the quality of the ingredients in the food, its digestibility or the overall quality of the food.
Follow the Guidelines with Help from Your Vet
All pet foods are required to contain feeding guidelines. However, different cats will require different amounts of food.
Ask your veterinarian to perform a body condition analysis for your cat each time your cat goes in for an examination. Ask your veterinarian to show you how to perform this analysis as well. Determining your cat's body condition is the best way to determine whether your cat is overweight, underweight or at his ideal weight. You should be able to feel your cat's ribs. If you cannot, your cat is likely overweight.
Feeding your cat to keep him lean and at an ideal body weight will keep him healthy longer. Adjust your cat's feeding protocol accordingly. For some cats, the guidelines provided on the food label may be accurate. For others, they may need to be adjusted.
If you find yourself straying too far from the label guidelines, check with your veterinarian. It's possible that the food you've chosen is not appropriate for your cat's individual situation. Some cats may require special foods to help them lose weight. Ask your veterinarian for a specific dietary recommendation.
Research Your Cat Food Brand
Sourcing and quality control in manufacturing are other important considerations in choosing a pet food. Unfortunately, pet food labels are not required to provide this information. You may be able to find the information on the company's website. Alternatively, a call to the company's consumer relations department should provide you the answers you need. Any reputable company with a quality product will be happy to engage with its consumers.

There are 4 ways to find information in this collection:
You can search for particular words that
appear in the text from the "search" page. This is the first page that
comes up when you begin, and can be reached from other pages by pressing
the search button.
You can access publications by title by
pressing the titles a-z button. This brings up a list of books in
alphabetic order.
You can access publications by author by
pressing the authors a-z button. This brings up a list of books,
sorted by author name.
Click on the unknown button to browse
publications (listing is sorted by an unknown field).
You can tell when you have arrived at an individual book or document
because its title, or a photograph of the front cover, appears at the top
left of the page. In some collections this is accompanied by a table of
contents, while others contain just the number of the current page along
with a box that allows you to select a new page and go forward and
backward. In the table of contents, the current section heading is in bold
face, and the table is expandable -- click on the folders to open or close
them; click on the open book at the top to close it.
Underneath is the text of the current section. When you have read
through it, there are arrows at the bottom to take you on to the next
section or back to the previous one.
Below the title or front-cover photograph are some buttons. Click on
expand text to expand out the whole text of the current section, or
book. If the document is large, this could take a long time and use a lot
of memory! Click on expand contents to expand out the whole table of
contents so that you can see the titles of all chapters and
subsections. Click on detach to make a new browser window for this
document. (This is useful if you want to compare documents, or read two at
once.) Finally, when you do a search the words you search for are
highlighted. Click on no highlighting to remove highlighting.
From the search page, you make a query in these simple steps:
When you make a query, the titles of twenty matching documents will be shown.
There is a button at the end to take you on to the next twenty documents. From
there you will find buttons to take you on to the third twenty or back to the
first twenty, and so on. Click the title of any document, or the little button
beside it, to see it.
A maximum of 100 is imposed on the number of
documents returned. You can change this number by clicking the
preferences button at the top of the page.
Whatever you type into the query box is interpreted as a list of words
called "search terms." Each term contains nothing but alphabetic characters
and digits. Terms are separated by white space. If any other characters such
as punctuation appear, they serve to separate terms just as though they were
spaces. And then they are ignored. You can't search for words that include
For example, the query
will be treated the same as
There are two different kinds of query.
Use as many search terms as you like--a whole sentence, or even a
whole paragraph. If you specify only
one term, documents will be ordered by its frequency of occurrence.
In most collections you can choose different indexes to search. For example, there might
be author or title indexes. Or there might be chapter or paragraph indexes. Generally,
the full matching document is returned regardless of which index you search.
If documents are books, they will be opened at the appropriate place.
When you click the preferences button at the top of the page you will
be able to change some features of the interface to suit your own requirements.
Collections of Web pages allow you to suppress the Greenstone navigation bar at
the top of each document page, so that once you have done a search you land at
the exact Web page that matches without any Greenstone header. To do another
search you will have to use your browser's "back" button. These collections
also allow you to suppress Greenstone's warning message when you click a link
that takes you out of the digital library collection and on to the Web itself.
And in some Web collections you can control whether the links on the "Search
Results" page take you straight to the actual URL in question, rather than to
the digital library's copy of the page.
Two pairs of buttons control the kind of text matching in the searches that
you make. The first set (labeled "case differences") controls whether upper and
lower case must match. The second ("word endings") controls whether to ignore
word endings or not. It is possible to get a large query box, so that you can
easily do paragraph-sized searching. It is surprisingly quick to search for
large amounts of text.
For example, if the buttons ignore case differences and
ignore word endings are selected, the query
because the uppercase letter in "African" will be transformed to
lowercase, and the suffixes "n" and "ing" will be removed from
"African" and "building" respectively (also, "s" would be removed from
You can switch to an "advanced" query mode which allows you to combine terms
using AND (&), OR (|), and NOT (!). This allows you to specify more precise
queries. You can turn the search history feature, which shows you your last few
queries. This makes it easy to repeat slightly modified versions of previous
queries. Finally, you can control the number of hits returned, and the
number presented on each screenful.

And what do you call someone who makes slippers out of plaited ribbons?
So in conclusion: Kids, stay in school. Otherwise you, too, may be forced to write lame jokes on the internet someday.
Hey Heather F., Amanda W., Laura, and Diana:
Now, I'm as pedantic about spelling as the next person, but I must say that good-by is an acceptable, though outdated, spelling of good-bye.
My word verification is 'panic.' Enough said.
I don't think that last cake is a wreck. I think the decorator is trying out a new line of sarcastic, passive aggressive desserts. It says "Thanks" but it really means "Thanks, Jerk."

I take it that the grat year didn't inclood speling lessins.
Re: the "Thunks" cake -- did someone put a CIGARETTE out in it??? Seriously, what IS that THING? (with apologies to Cary Elwes). :D
I just can't get enough of your blog! It makes me laugh out loud every day. Thanks so much!!
first comment
No, Jen....
Thunk YOU!
LOL... typo-cakes are my favorite Wrecks!
So Funny! I love the mithspelling cakes.
Aww, wreck #2 is so well done! The lettering is perfectly adorable with the polka dots. Why oh why do people have such trouble with your and you're? Or, their there and they're for that matter.
That thing on top of the strawberries looks like one of those rawhide chew-things I give to my dog.
I believe that decorators around the world should have quick access to a dictionary so as not to misspell. Although...English, I assume, would be their native language (in most cases, right?) What's up with the lack of grammar across this nation?
Is that Braidal Shoer shower cake a cake at all? It looks like strawberries on a rice cake. Oh wait. I guess rice cake is cake...of some kind. Maybe it's cheesecake? It just looks strange.
Abby's cake is such a shame. That's actually really nice writing on it!
So, I always wonder: is it the person ordering, the person taking the order, or the cake decorator that can't spell? Poor poor people...
"braidal shoer"
Thanks for the belly laughs for the day!
Braidal Shoer. Yes, you see, these are the hippies who make sandals by braiding leather straps.
Also, what's up with all these cakes that have nice decorations, and then the writing is hideously scribbled in a clashing color?
It destroys my faith in humanity to think that people can spell so poorly. So, I'm going to chose to believe that some Yanks were ribbing Bri, the Scottish/Irish bride, about her accent. Who's with me? Anyone...?
Abby's cake demonstrates how fine is the line between Cake Wreck and Cake Wonder - so pretty and yet so... wrong.
Of course, the Abby cake should read "you're" not "your". This is such a pet peeve of mine!
And a Braidal Shoer - do people ever THINK?
At first glance, I thought that last one said "Shunks", not "Thunks".
Well, it's a cake wreck regardless.
Can anyone explain to me what those "drinks" are on the Happy 21st cake? Logic says they're drinks, but my eyes say they're pudding cups topped with cookie crumbs and green gummy worms.
And what are those little fish things on Lucy's cake? The ones between the rose and the writing?
That is too hilarious!!!
And btw - check out my blog (just click on my name) called Personal Development and Growth, Your Guide to Self-Improvement and Personal Growth- it's worth checking out and thought I would share! I'm trying to not just make new friends but also help friends, new and old alike. Take care!
I've never worked in the field of cake decorating, though I watch Ace of Cakes, watch the food network challenges and visit this blog, so this is a real question.
Question: How come they can't scrape off the icing or remove the fondant and redo the mistake? You can do that right? Is it simply because these yahoos just don't catch their mistakes?
Just wondering, Thanks
I thought people turned legal at 18?
And why is it on a cake?
And why, why, why!?
And can I have her phone number?
Wow........those are just painful.
That first cake just brings back bad memories of beating old school video games.
Your Legal. That drives me NUTS!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE LEGAL... Which makes YOU'RE.... ARGH!
Milton - I'd say the drinks are likely Jell-O shooters, and the 'worms' you're seeing are little candy limes. (The Jell-O shooter is a guess, who doesn't want booze on their 21st B-day cake?!) And the 'fish' bits, are supposed to be rosebuds, though very strangely placed...and apparantly floating.
I love the mithspelling cakes! Although while I'm laughing at the uneducated, I can feel the ire rising in me at the same time.
Sadly, they're teaching the kids now that it's acceptable to spell the word the way it sounds.
(SIGH of defeat).
What iz now reks will soon beecom normul...(running away screaming)
~Amy B.
oh goodness, these are bad.
"Thunks" fer nothin', ya bastahds (puts cigarette out in middle of cake)!
Absolutely hilarious!
Okay, even if "bridal shower" had been spelled right...wth kind of message is that? Did they assume Bri wouldn't understand what kind of event she was attending and the cake message would be her first clue?
I can see her next cake now; it's gonna say, "Weding Bri."
Is it just me is or is the rest of the braidal shoer picture been swirled? Or maybe I should have had less coffee this morning.
hee hee, I'm Heather F., and sent in the #2 Abby's Legal cake... it was on this lady's website of simply fantastic cakes and there it was streaming just as pretty as you please. I really hate that it was mispelled to, I mean too. HA! All of her cakes were really nice ones!! Oh well!! I'm NOT perfect by ANY stretch of the imaginashun.
"braidal shoer"
You are literally a genius.
haha, the "thunks" is my favorite!
i wish i could get a cake wreck for my birthday today. that would be so awesome.
Thunks for more of my favorites, the mithspellings!
Word verification: untis, the misspelling of unties
What's so sad is that the 21st birthday cake had great penmanship! Oh well...at least it looked nice at quick glance. :-)
I think "thunks" kind of looks like "Jhunks".
The "your" should have been you're or you are.
DangGina, grammar isn't spelling. English has a difficult system of spelling, with many archaisms. Nevertheless, it would be nice if people whose spelling skills are poor would check before sending out work they're asking money for.
(Homophone typos in published books are my bugaboo.)
If you love language and good blogs, check out Language Log: http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=1314
Those are just so wrong.
WV = ousness. Misspelling of ouchness? 'Cos that's what I'm feeling at the sight of these cakes...
Oy with the "world is ending because people can't spell" complaints, people! Spelling is a talent, not a skill, in my opinion- some can do it, some can't - it doesn't map to intelligence. Also, written language is meant to represent spoken language - both forms change.
Now for some Mark Twain:
Awww man, that's such a shame that the wreckerator wrecked up that 21st birthday cake, because otherwise, it's really cute!
Thunks...that's what happens when you fall flat on your face after making simple spelling mistakes.
Oh dear. These wrecks just may take the cake.
What is with the humungo strawberries on that little cake? Awful.
It's too bad the last one went "thunk"...the cake is rather charming.
I think every wreckorator needs to have a copy of Strunk and White's near to hand. 0_o
Stay in school or you may end up as a cake decorator at a grocery store. Not that there's anything wrong with that...if you do it well.
Angie (from over at www.HalfAssedKitchen.com)
The first cake has nice roses.
Get some help.
I am seriously mourning that second cake. It's so gorgeous, that lettering is lovely. And then they have to go ruin it...
Also, I'm agreeing with jello shots with limes, or perhaps lime margaritas as the "drinks."
For some reason, the little rose torpedoes made me lol on Lucy's Good cake. It's like the big white rose is the Mothership sending out her little minion roses to conquer the world or something....
I'm very confused about the Braidal SHoer. Why the random capitalized H? What does that even mean? Would Bri not know where she was? Perhaps her name is not Bri at all, but they were trying to spell Bride and just gave up... Which was probably the right thing to do in the end...
Christina Alligator...I am SOOOO with you. That definitely how a Scottish bride would sound. LOL
Does the first cake get any credit for at least spelling congratulation correctly(minus the S)...which is usually quite a problem for cake decorators?....On second thought, NO!
Wow! That Good by Lucy cake is a hideous shade of grey. Bleah.
What exactly is a Braidal Shoer? Sounds like some kind of spine alignment thing.
I have to say that the Thunks cake is sad on more than one level; it has CRUNCHIES on it!!! I LOVE those delicious, sugary crunchy things, but could never consume it with the cigarette stubbed out on it. What a waste of crunchies!! I coulda looked past the spelling oopsie...:(
I love your blog, these cake wrecks make my day!
I think the Braidal SHoer cake is a wink at Bri's accent. Perhaps she's Cockney or from Newfoundland??
Doesn't explain the random caPitAliZatin though...
God bless ya! Me thinks the braidal shoer cake is for me lassie, Bri!
You forgot to dot your "u".
That last one looked more like "Jhunks" to me. Now that's inappropriate.
I appreciate that some people can't spell, and I'm one of those "naturally good spellers" as a general rule. I think the whole "world is ending" complaint is because people no longer take the same kind of pride in their work to make sure that it's done right the first time. My issue is this: If spelling is not your strong point, don't get into a career that relies heavily upon spelling, like professional writing, editing, advertising, and cake decorating. No one would willingly go into interior decorating if they were colorblind, would they?
i look at your blog everyday and lemme just say i love it and all your crazy jokes!!! =)
What strikes me the most about the "Good by Lucy" cake (aside from the spelling) is that they were also too lazy to grab a piping bag of green icing to make the leaves and just did it all in white!
Apparently Abby's last 21st Birthday was not Happy either - perhaps she got arrested or something? Now she gets a do-over of her 21st birthday to make it legal AND happy. Lucky B****!
It should be "now you're legal" not "your"...ugh. I get so pissed off when people don't know the difference between "you're" and "your."
This is just sad. It makes me wonder if these cake decorators are literate.
The last cake was corrected and they still came up with "Thunks"! You can see above the h and u that something was written in the icing and picked off.
I'm fairly certain these decorators are not, in fact, literate.
Grammar* and spelling knowledge is a rare thing these days. I had positively WONDERFUL spelling as a child, however spellcheck has utterly ruined that for me. (People blame it for a reason. I get lazy. I don't try and spell correctly and I won't learn the correct spelling because instead of looking up the word and taking it to heart, I just right click and choose the word I want.)
I believe one of the better spelling attempts I've found is hour: hower.
* Grammar isn't taught in schools anymore, period. I came from a private school and the teachers hated teaching grammar. The students revolted as much as they could, so of course, the teachers hated to bring it up. So on essays, they'll mark what's wrong, etc, but they won't teach actual grammar in class. It was something you had to learn on your own (like how to read--and yes, even in private school people can barely read). If you read a lot, you'd get it. If you didn't, you had a problem.
What is up with the cigarette butt stuck in the middle of that last cake?
"Thunks" for writing Cake Wrecks!
*insert snicker here*
I know, like, ten people have already said this....But Abby's cake is really pretty! It's such a shame that there's an error. I love the sparkly dots and the writing is really nice.
PS the word verification to post this is asking me to re-type the word 'gunhun.' What exactly is a gunhun?
The "thunks" cake is a Carvel ice cream cake. They are sold in most large supermarkets. I have seen some of the sheet type that say "Happy Birthday," however I am willing to bet that "thunks" was added after the fact.
Fantastic blog btw!
@Ann Burlingham, no one is saying the world is ending because of poor spelling. The issue here is that the ability to spell properly would seem to be a necessary prerequisite of being a cake decorator. If you ordered a bridal shower cake and it said "Braidal SHoer," would you really want to pay for and then present that cake to your friend? I think not.
Love it! Braidal Shoer! LOLOLOL
The Braidal Shoer cake commentary by Jen had me cracking up already, but then Christina Alligator (et al.) and the Scottish bride jokes just made it even better. Thanks for the fun! :)
the braidal shoer one reminds of the way my dad talks. He's Northern Irish so when we were buying a tower power shower he would call it a tarrr parrr sharrr. :D
Re the third disaster--technically that's just an arcane spelling, not a misspelling. Which is pretty cool.
Ahh, these are awesome. Still the best type of wreck.
@ Amy B & L.K.
I felt the need to comment as I am a 2nd grade teacher...
Yes, some teachers teach "inventive spelling" (as we call it) as a way to ease children into learning common spelling patterns and to just get them writing and not worrying about how things are spelled. HOWEVER, this is not the ONLY way that spelling is taught hopefully. At the beginning of the school year, I tell my kids to spell words as best they can using what they know about letters and sounds. As they progress through the year, and know more, I expect more. It's like expecting a baby to walk before crawling; crawling leads to walking so you can't skip the crawling step- it's important. But the baby won't crawl forever.
And I wouldn't say grammar isn't taught anymore. I teach grammar to my students because it's important and I don't want them speaking and writing improper English. Some teachers may not teach grammar, but you are supposed to as it's in the state content standards. And yes, most people who are better readers are better at communication skills because they are constantly seeing and reading words which carries over into other areas.
the "thunks" cake was a cake my family had gotten for my brother for veteran's day. and thats a candle not a cigarette haha. we told the cake decorator that we wanted it to say "thanks" and to have the american flag above that. we got "thunks" and what looked like a french flag. sadly, we tried to fix it before i remembered to take a picture so the "T" in "thunks" really looked like a "D". hope you all enjoy it!
Why is the H capital?
Also, instead of the girls name, I think that's a piece of cheese.
If Lucy's cake is any indication of how they treated her it's no wonder she's leaving.
wv mices...more than one mice.:P
This is why I always open the box before leaving the bakery. Jeez...can the store manager not put up a list of commonly spelled "cake" words?
For some reason that last cake looks like it says "thinks" to me, that lonely candle dotting the I, and I relish the irony in it.

Oy with the "world is ending because people can't spell" complaints, people! Spelling is a talent, not a skill, in my opinion- some can do it, some can't - it doesn't map to intelligence. Also, written language is meant to represent spoken language - both forms change.
Maybe it doesn't "map to intelligence," but in my opinion, it can "map" to laziness, or lack of appropriate teaching.
What do you think dictionaries are for?
I think correct spelling IS a skill.
Of course language changes; that is one reason why dictionaries include popular "slang" words, over time.
A person who is at least a high school graduate WILL come across as lazy or ignorant if he or she spells like a first-grader,
especially when applying for a job, or to college. It's a real world out there. I believe that most of these misspellers are probably able to crack open a dictionary and learn to spell ANY word correctly.
I'm an optimist.
Echoing the two or three odd folks who noted that "good-by" is, in fact, perfectly correct. Y'alls look like morons making fun of it.
"Thunks" is now my new favorite cake wreak. I had to show it to my Mother who says "Jhunks? Like you have so much junk in your trunk from eating that cake it becomes Jhunks in your chunky trunks?" Now it is even BETTER!
I's like the "Braidal Shoer" cake, thunks!
No no, you see, Abby now OWNS legal.
See, makes more sense now.
It makes one wonder if the braid for whom the braidal shoer was thrown was the same lady who had the gril. C:
WV: guixe - I don't know, but it sounds French.
Oh thank you - I mean Thunk you.
I needed that today
Fantastic as always.
Wow, the T in 'Thunks' really does look like it's been changed. I thought it looked like it used to be a D, which would make the cake say "Drunks". And then you confirm it looked like a D! with a French flag? Is this some kind of social commentary? Crazy.
But to your brother, spelled right and everything: Thanks!
Hey, that's my grat year cake! Thanks for posting it. :D
In defense of "good-by" -- the popular kids' book "Go, Dog, Go!" has a series of interactions between a boy and girl dog, regarding the attractiveness of the girl dog's hats, and at the end of every conversation they both say "Good-by" to each other. Perhaps that cake decorator was just raised on a classic of children's literature. :)
Or something.
Perhaps to celebrate her 21st birthday, Abby changed her name to Legal and the cake is correct, gramatically speaking?
Reba S.
I love this blog lol
I first I thought the last one said my nick name. Chunks!
Thunks works to . (Hahaha)
I had to say the "Braidal Shoer" one out loud at least 10 times before I figured it out. And SeaNymph was right, the thing on there *does* look like a doggie's rawhide chew
#4 looks like the culinary students were practicing and someone accidentally put the plaque in with the ones that are supposed to go on the cakes, and then the high school student who works in the afternoon blew it majorly!
And I agree with Nathalie, 'good-by' is fine, it's just the used tissues they piped onto the cake that I'm concerned with.
I read the writing on the "thunks" cake as "Drunks" =) T and h get into Dr quite well =)))
Heh =) I love this blog! =)
I think you'll find the final cake is a badly formed Shrinks. The r is a little dodgy. I hestitate to think what interpretations they drew about the wreckorators early childhood.

I agree that correct spelling (or the lack of it) is not automatically a indictor of intelligence but poor spelling and grammar come across as ignorant and/or careless, particularly in a professional capacity.
I am not a natural speller - it is something I find difficult, especially if I am writing by hand as opposed to typing, but I *know* that I don't spell well, so I have made the effort to learn the correct spelling of words whcih I need regularly, and when I am writing something important (business letters, notices etc) I take the time and trouble to check spellings where necessary.
Spellign is much easier for some people than others, but (for almost everyone)it can be learned, and incorrect spelling, whetehr on a 'professional' cake or in a business communication, looks sloppy, and implies ignorance or carelessness or both.
I don't think the world is coming to an end, and of course spelling and use of words both change over time, but if someone has ordered and paid for a cake they have a reasonable expectation that it will be in line with the generally accepted correct spelling.
If you order a professional prduct, you expect it to be produced professionally.
Abby, isn't good to know that whoever decorated your cake got an early start on celebrating your 21st birthday? :D
Word verification: chest
Appropriate, I suppose, if you tend to lose a lot of self-control while drinking. :D
Argghhh. I realized it still wouldn't be correct if Abby had changed her name to Legal, and have spent hours trying to come up with some way to make it correct. i just can't.
Reba S.
I kinda thought the limes? on Abby's cake looked like fat green caterpillars crawling out.
See Jen, I check your blog first thing in the morning! Only thing is, I think my morning comes earlier than yours since you haven't put up anything yet! :)
What's with the dot over the "u" on the last cake? It's like they couldn't decide if it should be a "u" or an "i" so they dotted it just in case.
I didn't read the 108 comments before mine but did anyone notice that on the second cake, "your" should have been "you're"?
This is really grat, grat job!
holy mother, I can't breathe!!!! braidal shoers!!!
the 21st birthday cake uses the wrong spelling of you're. they put your instead.
Oh my giddy aunt. I think that the Braidal Shoer may come up next to "It a gril" in my list of favorites.
And for Ann: no the world isn't coming to an end because of bad spelling. But there is a reasonable expectation that cake decorators should be able to spell the rather limited amount of words that they use. And they should be able to deal with appropriate capitalization as well. It's only a courtesy to the people that they're working for. If these were cakes lovingly prepared by a friend or family member, it would be sweet and funny and not an issue. But if you have to pay for something it should be professional. And part of being professional is doing something right--and in a manner that the people who ordered the cake can actually understand what is written there.
And it's not like we're talking about a huge lexicon here; congratulations, bridal shower, it's a girl, you're legal now. That isn't asking a great deal. Especially if it's been paid for.
And if somebody, somewhere has figured out what Falker Satherhood is, please let us all know.
Aw, it's a pity, too... the lettering on the legal cake is very nice!
Lovely handwritten font.
Grammar Fail.
I think that last cake is a piece of "Jhunks." Hahahaaaaaa.
Perhaps that last cake was iced by a kiwi.
Ann, dear heart, are you a wreckerator?
*extends hand*
I'm a copy editor. Aside from my nine-to-five, I do freelance proofing and editing at reasonable rates.
You all just don't understand... The "Grat Year" is not a misspelling. It's a cake celebrating the awesomeness of Squall's heiny-whooping of the Grats in Balamb Garden's Training Area. Sheesh. He was having a >Grat< year and was able to gain some mad skillz and stuff.
Try saying Braidal Shoer with an Irish accent...much more amusing!
Okay, is it me, or does the s on "Thunks" look like some wrongly small capital Q, I mean, I know that it's in cursive, and that it is fairly hard to write with frosting, but that's what I thought it was at first.
Is it just me or do the petals around the flower on the Lucy cake look...never mind.

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)
We don't have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it's cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
Payments must be made through Paypal, which accepts all major credit cards. Sorry, but that means no checks or MOs or barter-based chickens.
We ship everything first class USPS, and will do our best to have your package in the mail within 2 days of your order.
