Interdisciplinary. Community. Advocacy. Humor.
The Cakeland concept began in about 2005.
Experimenting with new media, especially decorative media not normally associated with fine art, is part of my search as a sculptor to keep my hands interested and to deliver my message with a clear impact. This body of work is a result of self-education, a lifelong interest in artificial food and objects, and an obsession with the relationship between the beautiful and the brutal.
Chocolate Beast Detail
Acrylic and Mixed Media on Polyurethane Foam, 2012
All beautiful things are equipped with a defense mechanism, to protect against the predations of those who seek to possess. The mechanizations of the predator also have a terrifying elegance. The two working together tell a very old story, and are the basis of many archetypes.
Self Objectification Strategy
Modified Stripper Shoes and Mixed Media, Dimensions Variable, 2012
Scream Cake
Acrylic and Mixed Media on Polyurethane Foam, 20" x 11" x 11", 2010
Why then, to use an absurd media like fake cake to describe such a story? We all love cake and what it signifies. Celebration. Important occasion. Indulgence. Reward. It is fortunate for myself and my sculptures that our minds are highly suggestive, and that we are willing to tolerate the idea of something artificial to represent what we desire. The representation itself becomes that which is most desirable. These sculptures celebrate the beauty, rapaciousness and absurdity we all participate in.
Cakeland Detail, Dudley Gallery, San Francisco, 2004
The cakes are typically constructed out of a carveable polyurethane sculpting foam, which is shaped with handheld Japanese woodcarving knives and rasps. They are then frosted and decorated with a variety of thickened acrylic gels, using traditional cake decorator tools and pastry bags. They are then accessorized with assorted media: mirrors, switchblades, taxidermy jaws, pills… some are purchased, some are found on the street near my studio in Oakland.
Humid Affections
Acrylic and Mixed media on Polyurethane Foam, 8 x 9 x 9", 2012
The Installations are either constructed as permanent or temporary structures, and generally utilize cardboard, theatrical lighting, full length mirrors, hand-made chandeliers, and whatever else is available on hand that could lend itself well to the atmosphere.
Acrylic and Mixed Media on Polyurethane Foam, 18" x 15" x 16", 2007

Amazing!!! Who's eating who?? hahahah Makes me want to stand up and cheer!!! Beyond brilliant!!!
Anything that can be expressed with the words "rapacious absurdity" gets our vote. Brilliant work.
Agreed! It's a wonderful way of commenting on our obsession with all things gluttonous and "consumptionism". The use of taxidermied jaws holds a mirror up to that in a way.
Thank you, Ezra. Glad you like this work too. I felt kinship. Scott had me at "These sculptures celebrate the beauty, rapaciousness and absurdity we all participate in." Well put.
These are truly incredible, fantastic, captivating! Another great pick Brigitte!!

Giving up an addiction at a time your whole family is stuck with you seems a little selfish to me - wait till the new year when the mood swings have less impact on others.

I have a leg length discrepancy and require an orthopaedic build up in my shoes for my short leg. I also have biomechanical problems in my feet and wear stability shoes or use orthopaedic devices.
The Quick Cobbler advertises on their websites that they " can do short limb orthopaedic build-ups on virtually any shoe or boot." http://www.quickcobbler.com/repairs/therange.htm
As I live close by and require this service, I went in and ask if they could do a build up on a stability shoe without compromising the stability. I was told they could, and consequently was fitted for and bought a new pair of stability shoes that I could wear without any added orthopaedic devices.
I brought the shoes in and spoke specifically to Ronald Nijdam. As the shoes have a hard materials throughout, and different density of foam and a fair bit of technology inside I was skeptical if a lift could be put in without affecting the stability. Ronald stated that since it fits of my foot, they can do it - restating their slogan, and assured me he had done it many times before and it would not be a problem, than the stability features would not be compromised.
Based on his given word I paid him to do the orthopaedic build up.
After much unpleasantness my 225 dollar shoes are ruined and unwearable and I am also out what I paid him.
While acknowleding that he guaranteed the stability would not be affected and that it is now unwearable as a result of his actions, Ronald said it is my fault for going to him because I should have gone somewhere else.
If only he had told me that when I originally asked him - but then he wouldn't have profited.
So everyone, keep that in mind if your thinking of doing business with him.

#1 REBUTTAL Owner of company
what really happened
AUTHOR: Quick Cobbler - (Canada)
SUBMITTED: Friday, December 12, 2008POSTED: Friday, December 12, 2008
Second: Yes, we do do Orthopedic modifications for Paris Orthotics and a whole host of podiatrists, physiotherapists and many other health professionals. We have been doing orthopedic shoe modifications since I started my company in vancouver in 1984. I am a 3rd generation cobbler, born and trained in the Netherlands. My sister owns an orthopedic shoe company, manufacturing custom orthopedic footwear. I have 10 professional shoe repair people on the payroll, making the Quick Cobbler Ltd. the largest single-location shoe service company in Canada.
Third: what really happened.
'Tim' needed an orthopedic external lift made on his running shoe. He asked me if the stability features would remain functional and I replied that they would.
Tim had no prescription but convinced me that he knew his buildup measurements. He probably was not quite accurate, since the original work done by us, needed some fine tuning. Tim still complained about some discomfort and fitting issues. I suggested he should wear orthotics in his shoes, to improve comfort and fit. He then told me that he has custom orthotics made by Paris Orthotics, but refuses to wear them, no reason was given.
Since this complicates the orthopedic picture, I suggested that he see any of the certified pedorthists at Paris Orthotics to do an evaluation. Once they would determine the true cause of discomfort I promised to adjust his shoe modification any way needed, according to the instructions of the pedorthist. At no charge!
Being faced with having to do some legwork himself (pun intended) and not able to get a quick and easy solution to his problem, Tim started being very uncooperative and unwilling to listen. Obviously frustrated he filed this unnecessary 'ripoff report'.
Tim: don't assume you know things better, take advice from the professionals, be polite to people trying to help you, and listen carefully when someone offers you free advice and a solution at NO CHARGE!
Ronald Nijdam,
3rd generation Cobbler, OST (certified Orthopedic Shoe Technician), Owner of Quick Cobbler Ltd., 430 west 2nd Ave, Vancouver, BC. www.quickcobbler.com

Skeptical about Ripoff Report
AUTHOR: Shoezanne - (Canada)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, December 10, 2008POSTED: Wednesday, December 10, 2008
It would be difficult to estimate the amount of orthopedic work he does because so many doctors and patients use his services. So, I'm not surprised to find that not EVERYONE likes the work that he does. I am, however, surprised that he said the fault was yours for not going somewhere else. This leads me to believe that he thought you were a bad customer and didn't want your business.
If his business practices are really as shady as you describe them to be, he would not have managed to stay in business for over 20 years and retain such an elite clientele (i've seen celebrities in his store many times).

"This stamp is very clear and crisp, a perfect print every time! I've ordered 7 different designs and this one of the best. A solid choice!"
"I had to use this to self-address 400+ envelopes. After 100 stamps the snowflake does start to fade but if you leave it be for 20+ minutes then use it again it works just as well as the first impression would. Very satisfied and happy with this product."
"The stamp turned out beautifully and is easy to use. Haven't tried adding more ink yet but it looks like it will be easy to do. Great product that came quickly and was shipped well. Thank You!"
"We bought this stamp for use with birth announcements for our daughter and were so impressed, we bought three more for unique Christmas gifts. The stamp is very nice. It is also easy to change the ink pad and to switch out different stamps if desired. We love it!"
"I ordered this stamp for my business. I wanted something with just the business name on it and this is perfect. I have ordered tiny prints self inking stamps before and can always expect to get exactly what I ordered. I will continue to order from tiny prints."

Provodnikov's Manager Reacts To Golovkin's Comments
By Yuri Tarantin
In a recent interview with BoxingScene.com's Chris Robinson, WBA/IBO middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin stated that WBO 140-pound king Ruslan Provodnikov had absolutely "no chance" to defeat eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao, who returns on April 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Provodnikov is one the two fighters being considered to face Pacquiao on the April date.
"I know Ruslan and I respect him, but I think he is nothing for Manny. He is nothing. He don't have a chance with Manny. No chance. This is boxing, you know...I think he would be no problem for Manny," Golovkin said.
Provodnikov's manager, Vadim Kornilov, reacted to the comments from Golovkin.
"We are very respectful to the fact that our friend Gennady Golovkin shared his opinion about Ruslan's chances against Manny Pacquiao. Let's agree to differ. Although, in my opinion, any professional knows that in boxing there is always a chance [to win]," Kornilov said.
Yuri Taranin covers boxing for Allboxing.ru
I don't think he's wrong. Ruslan has no chance of beating Pac except for a punchers chance...and every boxer has that in any fight their in. Even at this point Pacs far beyond ruslan.Comment by Mike D on 01-08-2014
Golovkin's words seem very harsh but lets remember how awful GGG's English is currently. I don't think he was trying to bash Ruslan at all, and it probably came out sounding worse than what he actually meant.Comment by Weebler I on 01-08-2014

I've written lots of posts about how to budget and I every time I post something new, I get a couple of emails from people asking me what template I use to plan my budget. So because I'm lovely (really, I am), I've made a monthly budget planner of my own that you're more than welcome to use, download, print or even share!
Free monthly budget planner via Google docs
I have uploaded it to Google docs as a PDF document here.
Free monthly budget planner via Scribd
I've also uploaded it to Scribd as described below but a few people have said they've had problems with scribd so I'm looking at alternatives as I'd like everyone to be able to type straight on to the spreadsheet as you can if you can download it through Scribd.
You can print the template below by clicking on the little rectangle with a rectangle in it icon – that will bring the budget planner up as a full screen and you can just right click on it to print it out!
If you'd prefer you can click on the link and it will take you to Scribd where I've stored the document and you can print it out from there or you can download it (select the option to download as DOC) and store it straight on your computer where you can type straight into it.
Free downloadable and printable monthly budget planner.

Work was not performed to minimum industry standards, despite doing it over a second time! The work is so ugly, other contractors have said these people have NO business being in business and deserve to lose their license.
Significant Interior damage to dry wall and sills (only a couple of items were fixed poorly and will have to be redone properly.)
Damage to inside of windows with multiple screw holes.
Broken window diverter has not been repaired yet (reported in first week of May, it is now mid-June.)
Screens for 2 patio doors, 6 windows STILL not delivered.
We didn't realize how bad this was until a 3rd party came out to inspect it for us in person. They were APPALLED.
Three year old level of workmanship, questionable business practices, no customer service, and worst case, either clueless about their industry standards, or purposely selling sub-standard work when they know they don't have the ability to live up to their contract.

Diesel Consumption of Agriculture in China

AbstractAs agricultural mechanization accelerates the development of agriculture in China, to control the growth of the resulting energy consumption of mechanized agriculture without negatively affecting economic development has become a major challenge. A systematic analysis of the factors (total power, unit diesel consumption, etc.) influencing diesel consumption using the SECA model, combined with simulations on agricultural diesel flows in China between 1996 and 2010 is performed in this work. Seven agricultural subsectors, fifteen categories of agricultural machinery and five farm operations are considered. The results show that farming and transportation are the two largest diesel consumers, accounting for 86.23% of the total diesel consumption in agriculture in 2010. Technological progress has led to a decrease in the unit diesel consumption and an increase in the unit productivity of all machinery, and there is still much potential for future progress. Additionally, the annual average working hours have decreased rapidly for most agricultural machinery, thereby influencing the development of mechanized agriculture.

Dec. 6, 2013 COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Quarterback Jaquiel Chandler rushed for three touchdowns, including one with less than four minutes left to give Batesburg-Leesville a 28-24 win over Silver Bluff in the South Carolina Class 2A Division II championship game Friday night.
Chandler's 3-yard TD run with 3:25 left put the Panthers up 26-24. Terrance Wilson added a two-point conversion for the final score.
Silver Bluff (12-2) drove to the Batesburg-Leesville 13 on its final drive, but quarterback Jaylen Larwrence was picked off in the end zone by Dontavious Morris on the game's last play.
Batesburg-Leesville (12-2) won its first state crown since 2005. Panthers coach Jerry Brown became just third in state prep history to win titles at three schools. He won at Spring Valley in 1988 and at Berkeley in 1994, 1996 and 2009.
